Empress Qin Wei frowned. She saw the expectant look her son was using to look at her and felt uncomfortable.

She was no fool that didn\'t understand what that look on his face meant.

Looking away, she said, "I already did. But your father is too busy to look at it and approve of it."

Empress Qin Wei didn\'t lie. She really did send a message to Emperor Yun. However, because of the matters concerning the Chu empire, her husband couldn\'t take the time to look at her letter to request a marriage for her son and the Fourth Young Miss of the Lin residence.

Hence, even after a few days, there was still no answer nor a royal decree delivered to the Lin residence.

However, what the empress didn\'t know was that her letter of request was already burned to ashes by a certain man who was also the same person who pulled her and the entire Qin family into a bad situation..

Prince Jing released a sigh of relief as if the matter of his marriage with the beauty that caught his eyes were far more important than the matters of his mother being locked up inside the Cold Palace.

Once again, Empress Qin Wei felt the boiling anger inside her rising but she forced it down to not let her son see it. She refused to let anyone have the satisfaction of seeing her in a rage because of her situation.

She\'s the empress and no one can laugh nor pity her!

However, she couldn\'t stomach having forced to eat the same meal over and over again thus, she thickened her face and told him, "Son, can you please fetch me some food in the royal kitchen? These lowly bastards dared to serve me food for the servants! How can I live with this kind of treatment?"

Prince Jing swept a glance at the food that was scattered on the floor along with the plates and the table that was turned over. He could see that the food that was served to his mother was indeed unsightly.

"Don\'t worry mother. I\'ll talk to them as soon as I got out of here." Prince Jing reassured his mother. Only he knew what was inside his mind or whether he will uphold his word.

Prince Jing walked out of the Cold Palace and looked back at the closed door. There were two burly guards on each side of the door, guarding and keeping the people inside from getting out.

He might have to try talking to the people in the royal kitchen if it wasn\'t that far. However, the royal kitchen was around the corner of the palace and it was an hour of walk from here. If he does go over there, he\'d just waste two hours of his time where he could use it to go to a brothel to have some fun with the women there.

In any case, he should still try to send a servant to talk to them. After all, his mother sent the request letter for a marriage decree to his father. He should at least reward his mother for that, right?

Thinking about the beautiful young lady from the Lin family, Prince Jing felt a certain part of him starting to feel alive. He couldn\'t wait to marry the fourth young miss of the Lin family and play with her.

He heard of the rumors surrounding Lin Xiaofei and witnessed her arrogance and rude manners when she attended a banquet with General Lin in the past and was at first not interested in her.

But who knew that after a few years of being isolated in her courtyard, the young girl who was hated and infamous for her rudeness and being the trash to the Lin family was gone and only a beautiful swan has come out of her shell.

"Ahh… Fei\'er. I can\'t wait to see you wearing a wedding dress at our wedding." Prince Jing muttered before he started to make his way out of the palace.

…

Inside the underground basement, Qu Xing Xu wiped his hands with a clean towel that a man wearing a servant\'s uniform handed to him.

Across them, a man was tied up in a wooden chair. A chain was tied around his feet connecting to the chair\'s legs while his hands were tied in front of him but his hands were beyond recognition as blood were all over it and bones were sticking out of his hands.

With this sight, anyone would shudder in fear and might even collapse on the spot but to the servants who have been beside their master, this method of torture was milder than what their master really could do.

Just thinking about it, the servant beside Qu Xing Xu felt tingles in his toes as he couldn\'t wait to see someone suffering under those kinds of methods once again.

"Master, what should we do with this man?" Qi Ye asked the Duke who still had a smile on his face.

Throwing the towel to the side, Qu Xing Xu took another clean towel to wipe his hands with it.

"Keep him hydrated. Make sure he will still have the ability to talk. I need his mouth to speak of what the Qin family has been doing all these years." Qu Xing Xu said before throwing a glance at the unconscious tied up man on the chair.

The person who was tied up was none other than the brother of the Empress who dared to slip a female servant in his residence in order to curry favor to him and spy on him.

"Ah, that\'s right. The woman that got into the residence… did you take care of her already?" Qu Xing Xu brightly smiled as if he wasn\'t talking about getting rid of someone.

Qi Ye nodded his head and replied, "That woman has already been sent back to the Qin family. But I doubt that they would still be able to see her as they\'re too busy to worry about their own life.

The emperor has started to antagonize the Qin family where the empress came from. It was only natural for them to not even care about a single woman when they have a lot of things to do to keep their heads on their shoulders.

Qu Xing Xu was satisfied and turned around with a great mood. After all, tomorrow will be the first day that his bride will finally enter his residence.
