“I just saw Young Master Ye, but he doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. I don’t know what happened.”

Suddenly, Feng Yu heard a low voice. When she heard the words ‘Young Master Ye’, she subconsciously pricked up her ears. She had been in the Imperial Residence for three days, so she naturally knew that the Young Master Ye they were talking about was Beiming Chen’s personal attendant, Ye Feng.

Although he was only an attendant, his status in the Imperial Residence was extraordinary. It seemed that he was the one with the highest status in the Imperial Residence. Everyone in the Chen Residence had to call him ‘Young Master Ye’ when they saw him.

Didn’t he leave with Beiming Chen? However, the attendant said that he saw him. Did that mean that Beiming Chen had also returned? Feng Yu’s heart started to beat wildly. She pricked up her ears and continued to listen.

Sure enough, another attendant lowered his voice and said, “I heard that the Royal Highness has also returned, but he is heavily injured and unconscious. Young Master Ye is worried about the Royal Highness’s health, so his complexion is obviously not good.”

The two attendants said something else, but Feng Yu was no longer in the mood to listen. After she knew that Beiming Chen had returned, she immediately gave up on the idea of releasing the small attendant in the space and quietly left, heading towards Beiming Chen’s courtyard.

They said that Beiming Chen was heavily injured and unconscious. To her, this was the best time to seize the fragment. She couldn’t miss this opportunity.

When he walked to Beiming Chen’s Ao Chen Garden, a guard holding a basin suddenly walked over. When he saw Feng Yu, the guard’s face immediately blossomed with joy, as if he had seen his parents.

“Brother, please do me a favor.”

Feng Yu’s eyes moved away from the basin in his hand and smiled. She said in a friendly manner, “Please do as you please, big brother. I am willing to do it.”

She obviously didn’t know this guard. After all, there were too many guards in the Duke Palace and they were all taking turns to serve. Therefore, apart from her own group of guards, Feng Yu had never interacted with other guards. It was normal that she didn’t know him.

“Thank you so much, little brother,” the guard said. “It’s like this. I just met Young Master Ye. Young Master Ye asked me to help the Duke clean his body. However, my stomach isn’t feeling well, so I want to go to the toilet. I won’t be able to clean the body in a short while, so I want to ask little brother to help the Duke clean his body.”

There were no maids in the Duke Chen Palace, so the guards took turns to serve Beiming Chen. Now that he was unconscious, the task of cleaning his body naturally fell on the guards.

As expected, the heavens were helping me.

Feng Yu couldn’t help but cheer in her heart. She was still worrying about how to get close to Beiming Chen, but she didn’t expect that she would have such an opportunity. She couldn’t ask for anything better, so she immediately took the basin from the guard and said, “People are in a hurry. Please clean the body. As for helping the Duke clean his body, leave it to me.”

The guard thanked Feng Yu again and again. In the end, he couldn’t hold it in any longer and ran away with his hands covering his stomach.

Feng Yu carried the water basin and walked towards the bedroom in the front yard. It was the bedroom that she had been to the first time. When she walked to the door, she saw a grey-robed youth sitting by the bed and checking the pulse of the man who was sleeping on the bed.

The grey-robed youth seemed to be around the same age as Bei Mingchen. His dark hair fell down and he looked extremely handsome in the candlelight. He looked very serious. He seemed to hear footsteps and turned around to look at the door. His handsome face looked a bit haggard.

Feng Yu paused and walked over quickly. She said respectfully, “Greetings, Young Master Ye.”

She held the water basin and bowed. Ye Feng turned around and put his wrist that belonged to Bei Mingchen in the quilt. He got up from the bed and said in a dry voice, “No need to be so polite. I will go to the pharmacy to get some herbal medicines. Be careful when you help the prince clean his body. Try not to touch his wounds.”

This man’s cultivation was so terrifying. He was unfathomable. Who would have the ability to leave wounds on him? Feng Yu was suspicious but she didn’t show it on her face. She said respectfully, “Yes, Young Master Ye.”

After she finished her words, Ye Feng turned around and walked out.

Feng Yu put down the water basin and walked around the room. She didn’t see the cat. She immediately contacted Qing Guang, “Qing Guang, Bei Mingchen is back. I didn’t find the cat. Can you sense the fragment?”

Soon, she received a reply from the green light, “Yes, I can sense it. It’s in this room.”

Feng Yu was surprised. Was there a secret room in this room? Otherwise, how could she not see it? She wanted to flip through the room but was worried that the night wind would come back at any time. So, she walked to the bedside and wanted to help Bei Mingchen.

She had planned to take the chance when Bei Mingchen was unconscious to take the cat and leave. She didn’t think about helping Bei Mingchen. However, she couldn’t find the cat. So, she had to change her plan. She could only help Bei Mingchen first.

The night wind would come back at any time. It was obviously not a good time to flip through the room. So, when the night wind came back, she could take the initiative to guard the night for Bei Mingchen. In this way, she would have the chance to flip through the room. As long as she could find the cat, she would leave immediately.

She walked to the bedside and saw Bei Mingchen’s handsome face was pale and bloodless. Even his lips had turned gray. There were dark spots on his black clothes, and they were emitting a strong smell of blood.

Feng Yu frowned and reached out to untie his clothes. She immediately saw that his white chest was full of crisscrossed scars. His chest, which was smooth like jade, was not intact at all.

What happened to him in the past few days?

Feng Yu’s eyes flashed with pity. Such a strong man was sleeping on the bed so weak. It was really sad. As long as she wanted to, she could take his life at any time.

The night breeze was really comfortable.

Feng Yu was about to wipe the man on the bed when he suddenly opened his eyes as if he had sensed something. Blood light flashed in his eyes.

Feng Yu stopped what she was doing and looked at the man who had opened his eyes. He was really alert. He had been injured so badly, yet he could still sense that someone was approaching him. He was really strong.

She finally realized how wrong she was. No wonder Ye Feng was so confident that she could be alone with him. He probably knew that even if Beiming Chen was unconscious, she wouldn’t be able to hurt him.

“Your Highness, Young Master Ye went to get the medicine. I was just wiping your body.”

Feng Yu explained patiently to make Beiming Chen relax. However, Beiming Chen didn’t seem to hear her. He looked at her with blood-red eyes. Soon, his eyes turned red.
