Fen Ling's smile deepened slightly, a mysterious glint flashing in her crimson eyes.
But instead of answering immediately, she tilted her head slightly and looked at him with a meaningful gaze.
"But before I show you… I have a question of my own, Envoy Li."
She leaned forward a little, her voice soft yet direct.
"You seem to have other goals for coming to the capital besides investigating the plague. Am I wrong?"
Her eyes narrowed slightly, carrying both curiosity and sharpness.
"…Is there something else you're also not telling me?"
The atmosphere in the side hall grew tense once again as the Regent Empress stared at him, waiting for his answer.
Yue Lan and Lan Suyao glanced at Li Feng.
But Li Feng remained calm, his expression unchanging.
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I came here to investigate the plague as requested by the Azure Moon Sect."
He paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing.
"…And I didn't come here to get questioned."
