Chapter 698: Need explanation
The emperor looked at Bai Zhi from head to toe, then said with a smile: “As Teacher Dongfang said, your eyes are similar from the Dongfang family. You look identical to the father and daughter.”
Bai Zhi smiled slightly: “Prince Jin and his majesty are also very similar!”
When it comes to Chu Yan, the emperor’s smile reached his ears. He has nine sons, but he was most proud of Chu Yan.
Chu Yan not only resembled him most, but his temperament was very similar to him back in his youth.
Chu Feng, who was sitting in the front row, was dumbfounded. What is going on? What is this situation?
Empress Chun pulled Chu Feng’s sleeve and asked in a low voice: “What’s going on? Who is this girl? Why does she look like Dongfang Wan and Pei Qinghan?”
Chu Feng glared at Pei Qinghan and cursed him inside his heart: “I don’t know what’s going on. I’ll ask clearly after the banquet is over!”
Empress Chun was felt uneasy, but she knew this was not the time to talk, and so she closed her mouth.
Before the emperor left, he asked her to look after the Empress Dowager in the palace. Bai Zhi couldn’t refuse. It’s a pity, she can’t celebrate this New Year with her family.
After the banquet was over, the civil and military officials left the palace. However, Pei Qinghan was still sitting in the low chair and didn’t even move a bit.
Chu Feng walked towards him and stand in front of Pei Qinghan, then asked with a cold voice: “Pei Qinghan, shouldn’t you give me a reasonable explanation for today’s matter?”
Pei Qinghan seemed didn’t hear his words, he kept staring at the place where Bai Zhi was standing just now.
Seeing him like this, Chu Feng stretched out his hand and pushed him, then repeated his words.
Pei Qinghan said: “Your Royal Highness, I am in the same mood as you now. I am full of doubts. This is the first time I saw this child. I also want to understand what is going on.”
Chu Feng squatted in front of Pei Qinghan and asked in a low voice, “You can’t even tell who’s your daughter is? Which is your real daughter, the one in your house, or the one who stands in front just now?”
Only then did Pei Qinghan remember what happened in Huangtuo Village that day. Bai Dazhu and Mrs. Liu told him that the child had died.
However, he didn’t even verify if it was true or false. He subconsciously believed that the child was dead. Perhaps, he simply wanted the child to die.
But now, he knows how ridiculous he was. Since 13 years ago, he has been wandering in the fog, arguing whether what he did was right or wrong.
Pei Qinghan shook his head: “I don’t know, I don’t know, I really don’t know anything.” He grabbed his head that was aching. He felt his head was splitting, and his chest moved up and down vigorously. Then suddenly, he felt his surroundings turn dark as his body fell on the table.
Seeing him in this state, Chu Feng was so angry that his vision also turned black. Fortunately, he has good strength and had learned martial arts. His physique was not as weak as Pei Qinghan.

When Pei Qinghan woke up, he was already lying in his room in Chuangyuan Houfu. When he opened his eyes, he saw Concubine Xiang, sitting by the bed.
Seeing him woke up, Concubine Xiang said overjoyed: “Houye, you finally woke up. You scared me to death.” She said as she leaned over on Pei Qinghan’s chest with reddened eyes from crying.
If it were in the past, Pei Qinghan would definitely stretch out his arms to hug her waist and then said a few words of comfort.
However, at this moment, he looked at Concubine Xiang’s body, with eyes full of disgust.
He pushed Concubine Xiang away and sat up. His bloodshot eyes stared at Concubine Xiang fiercely.
