Chapter 494: Chapter 337 This Person Looks Familiar (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2
When Fu Zhen got off the carriage, she asked a quick question.
Mrs. Feng replied, "I have already mentioned it in the memorial, saying that your mother-in-law asked me to take you out more often."
Fu Zhen laughed, "If you say so, Her Majesty wouldn’t suspect anything!"
Everyone knows how carefree the elderly Pei couple is nowadays, not wanting to bother with anything.
Mrs. Feng also laughed, "Let’s go."
The women of the Liang Family are frequent visitors to the harem, and even though Mrs. Feng has rarely gone out in recent years, who among the palace attendants would dare to neglect them? Even the young Mrs. Pei beside her could not be offended by anyone.
The Empress was reading a medical book in Kunning Palace, with a paper and pen by her side.
After Mrs. Feng and the others paid their respects, the Empress smiled and closed the medical book, "The Emperor and Prince Yan have been taking medicine for years, so I’ve also learned some medicine over time. Today I have nothing to do, so I’m learning to draft prescriptions with Doctor Fang."
Mrs. Feng said, "Ever since this subject’s wife met Your Majesty, you have never wasted a moment of time. You say you have nothing to do, but who doesn’t know you care for the entire Great Zhou on behalf of the Emperor?"
The Empress sighed, "What’s the use of my concern? I thought peace was coming, that good days were near, but then this recent incident happened."
At this point, she gestured, "Have some tea, don’t just talk. It’s rare for you to visit the palace, let’s not dwell on such matters."
Mrs. Feng picked up a cup of tea, glanced at Fu Zhen, and said, "Her Majesty has a good memory, even remembering that I, in my old age, love eating melon seeds, and every time I enter the palace, I can taste this tea. You should try it too."
Receiving the passing glance, Fu Zhen unhurriedly continued, "This tea has a fragrant aroma, and the tea soup is clear in color, truly good tea."
The Empress looked at her and smiled, "Didn’t Mrs. Feng return to the capital not long ago? How come the two of you have become companions, despite your age difference?"
The Empress is not a muddle-headed person, and Fu Zhen feared revealing any flaws in front of her, causing unnecessary trouble. At this moment, hearing her mention this suddenly, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat, though she fortunately maintained her composure.
She glanced at Mrs. Feng, thought for a moment, and said,
"In response to Your Majesty, this subject’s wife enjoys the affection of my aunt, who worries that staying in the mansion all day would be boring and unhealthy, and knowing my close friendship with the General’s wife of the Liang Mansion, she entrusted me to the care of the elderly lady and the General’s wife."
"Is that so?" the Empress laughed, "Your mother-in-law is indeed taking it easy; she should have come to the palace today to visit me as well."
Mrs. Feng said, "Your Majesty may not know, paying respects is one thing, but Zhen Er also has something she wishes to verify with you in person."
"Oh?" The Empress turned to Fu Zhen, "Fu Zhen? Just tell me."
Fu Zhen said, "I cannot help but bring up something that might sadden Your Majesty, and I ask for your forgiveness."
The Empress’s expression tightened a little, "You wish to inquire about Yi Yi’s matter?"
The straightforwardness of these words almost left one defenseless, but it was impossible to retract them now.
Fu Zhen nodded, "I wish to ask Your Majesty, how is the appearance of the Crown Prince? Do you still remember his eyebrows and facial features?"
The Empress was lost for a moment before she said, "I remember. Of course, I remember. Why do you ask?"
"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. The other day, my mother found a portrait among my grandfather’s relics. It is unsigned, and we don’t know who it is. Thinking of the Crown Prince’s incident, I wanted to ask if Your Majesty could tell whether there is a possibility that the portrait could be of the Crown Prince?"
After speaking, Fu Zhen took out a small portrait from her sleeve and spread it out before the Empress.
This portrait was drawn by herself, depicting the man who died in Baiyu Lane. Liang Ning had seen his face before. Coincidentally, this body had studied the art of painting, so drawing that man’s likeness wasn’t difficult.
From the revelation of the truth about the bloody case in the lane to now, from the beginning when everyone believed the deceased was the Crown Prince Yang Yi, to the recent doubts arising, and with Li Yi’s several pursuits of people suspected to be Yang Yi over the years, seeking verification from the Empress, the birth mother, whether the deceased was indeed her son, Yang Yi, had become imperative.
The Empress swiftly took the portrait in her hands, her sharp gaze instantly locking onto the face in the image.
After examining it twice, her sharp eyes gradually softened. After another few quick glances, she looked up, "This is what your mother gave you?"
Fu Zhen nodded, "Yes, it was found among my grandfather’s relics." She leaned forward, "I ask Your Majesty to look carefully, is the person in this portrait the Crown Prince?"
The Empress put the portrait down and said gloomily, "It is not him."
