After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 482 - 333: Is She Possessed? (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

After changing clothes and coming out, Pei Zhan had also changed clothes and was waiting for her in the courtyard.

Now to avoid suspicion, this guy wouldn’t even enter Fu Zhen’s room anymore.

Fu Zhen walked toward the room he lived in, "Let’s talk in your room."

Pei Zhan followed, opening his mouth as if to say something, yet didn’t have the chance, because Fu Zhen’s legs were quite fast, and in a blink, she was already inside his room.

Moreover, she sat down familiarly in the chair by the table, lifted the teapot on the table with one hand, flipped open the cup on the table with the other, made a cup of tea, drank half a cup by herself, then put it down, looked at him, and said:

"The Empress summoned me to the palace to reward me."

She then listed out the things she was rewarded with.

Pei Zhan naturally had an idea about these. He obviously paused when he heard that the Empress rewarded her with a sword. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Fu Zhen continued, "Then the Empress asked me about my grandfather’s affairs."

"What did she ask?"

"My grandfather’s death. The accidents he encountered before his death were also mentioned by the Empress."

Fu Zhen said calmly, "Earlier when we mentioned the suspicions about the Crown Prince, it seems the Empress indeed noticed them too. But for some reason, I always feel she had a lot of things left unsaid."

"What makes you say that?"

"After she asked me a few questions, she offered to send me out. I thought she wanted to tell me something, but on the way, she said nothing, only that she would summon me to the palace again in the future to talk."

As the Empress, even to show favor, accompanying her out of Qianqing Palace was already a great honor, but not only did she escort me out of Qianqing Palace, she walked quite a long way—she is not a consort with nothing to do, she has always helped the Emperor with state affairs, so why favor the Pei family to such an extent?

With Fu Zhen’s understanding of the Empress, such actions clearly indicate something left unsaid.

"That’s strange, what kind of words would require leaving Qianqing Palace to speak?" Pei Zhan was puzzled, "Since she already summoned you to the palace, what could possibly be unsaid directly?"

"Who knows?" Fu Zhen said deeply, "So I recalled what Yang Zhan told you in the Heavenly Prison earlier. He said that the palace sent out two groups of people to search for the Crown Prince, one from the Emperor, and the other from the Empress, yet the people sent by the Emperor didn’t know that the Empress also sent people."

"If Yang Zhan wasn’t talking nonsense, it can only mean that the Empress has some private thoughts unknown to others regarding the Emperor."

On the way back from the palace, Fu Zhen had mulled over these things several times, so she just said it outright.

Because of her directness, Pei Zhan couldn’t help but straighten his waist—the thing most unbelievable by the court officials might be the hidden personal motives between the Emperor and the Empress, Fu Zhen’s words were so straightforward, they were almost sharp.

Pei Zhan pondered for a while but couldn’t refute, "It indeed needs an explanation."

The Crown Prince, Yang Yi, is the biological son of the Emperor and the Empress. Once the murderer behind the Crown Prince’s incident surfaced, everything should have had a conclusion.

If it was truly Yang Yi who died in Baiyu Lane, then he shouldn’t have been defenseless under Yang Zhan’s hand; if the deceased wasn’t Yang Yi, then after all this time since the incident, Yang Yi should have appeared.

And most importantly, why hasn’t Yang Yi appeared after all these years?

Clearly, the Emperor and the Empress, having gone through hardships together, supported each other unwaveringly through both court and harem affairs, appear out of sorts only regarding this matter of the Crown Prince?

"So as before, we need to find a way to uncover explanations for things that don’t make sense." Fu Zhen spoke without ambiguity, "I can’t contribute to this task now, so I can only entrust it to you."

Pei Zhan did not show weakness either; he directly picked up the teapot on the table, drank a couple of mouthfuls, and said, "The Ministry of War has recently received a few dispatches, the Emperor might summon me to the palace in the next couple of days. Then I’ll act accordingly."

Fu Zhen glanced at his hand holding the teapot and said, "Ziyan, bring me that pair of Rain and Mist Emerald double cups."

Ziyan smiled and said, "Yes."

Pei Zhan eyed them suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

Fu Zhen pressed down the teapot in his hand, "Since we’re bound together by a marriage certificate, why so reserved, Zhan Er? To clear all the doubts as soon as possible, I might have to come into this room every day, and you won’t even prepare a cup for me, that’s not the way to treat a guest."
