Chapter 1048 - Broken Star Pieces

Chapter 1048 Broken Star Pieces Because of the crown prince’s rage, dark clouds had gathered overhead, covering the entire sky over the residence. Cold air filled the place and everyone was as silent as cicadas in autumn. It was too scary for them to utter a word.Feng sighed in resignation.

Chang San, the captain of the guards in the residence, was standing next to Feng side at the moment.

Mr Feng, His Royal Highness has been in a bad mood for two days… It’s never been this long before…
Chang San pulled a long face.
He must have reprimanded over a hundred officials and generals already.

Reprimand was an understatement. To be more precise, he had given them absolute hell.
Feng smiled bitterly. It had really been going on for too long.

Who offended His Royal Highness this time?
Chang San cringed.
And when is it going to end?

Luckily, His Royal Highness had only lashed out at the civil and military officials and the generals of the imperial guards. None of his close subordinates had been affected yet.
But who knew what could happen if his mood stayed like this.
Just then —

Chang San, get you ass in here!
The crown prince’s grumpy voice came from inside the room.
Chang San’s eyes widened, and he turned to Feng for help.
What should he do now?!
Feng and Granny Gong looked the other way, as if they hadn’t heard a thing…
Chang San had to force himself to go in when in fact, he wanted to cry for help.
Soon, they hear angry roars from inside.
Both Feng and Granny Gong felt their stomachs lurch.
Chang San came out about fifteen minutes later with blood oozing from his ears, nostrils, and the corner of his mouth. He looked listless. When the captain saw Feng, he almost burst into tears.

Who on earth offended His Royal Highness?
Chang San hadn’t seen that coming, and he was devastated.

Who do you think?
Feng darted a glance at Chang San.
Luckily, Chang San was no fool. He saw the light right away.
Do you mean… Miss Feng Wu?

Feng raised his head, looking like he knew nothing at all.
Rolling up his sleeves, Chang San headed for the door.
Feng asked,
Where are you going?

Chang San said,
To find him a fire extinguisher!

And he didn’t go alone. Together with a team of his men, Chang San headed for the Feng manor.
Meanwhile, Feng Wu was waiting for the result of Grand Secretary Fang’s inquiry.
If Grand Secretary Fang could find a lead on the broken star pieces, she wouldn’t have to go to Jun Linyuan anymore. God knew how irritated she was even at just the thought of Jun Linyuan. The anger was simply uncontrollable.

How did it go?
Feng Wu stared at Grand Secretary Fang nervously.
Grand Secretary Fang nodded at her.
I don’t have the exact location of the broken star pieces, but… I have a lead.


Really?
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up.
Something was better than nothing; she could work with that.

What lead?
Feng Wu stared at Grand Secretary Fang earnestly.
Grand Secretary Fang was secretly surprised. He had never seen the girl so devoted to something.
He told her,
Xuanyuan Kun is the person you should start working on.


As in Elder Xuanyuan?
Feng Wu’s eyes flickered.
Elder Xuanyuan was one of the seven members of the education board, and back in Yu Yue’s office, that old man had wanted Feng Wu dead.
Grand Secretary Fang recalled the incident as well, and his face darkened.
Xuanyuan Kun isn’t exactly your friend. Moreover, the Xuanyuan clan has close ties with the Zuo clan. You…

By now, Grand Secretary Fang had learned about the enmity between Feng Wu and Zuo Qingluan. He couldn’t help but worry about her dealing with the Zuo family.
