Qi Tong told Mu Tiantian.

The assassins she encountered in the woods when she returned a few days ago were sent by Fang Hong's accomplices.

In the past few days, Fang Hong learned that the Emperor had sent Tang Xiu to keep an eye on him, so he betrayed his accomplice.

Mu Tiantian had some impression of Fang Hong.

Fang Hong was originally a second-rank official, and he had a secret collusion with Feng Qianlin.

But in reality, Fang Hong was a fence-sitter. Later, during the palace coup, he immediately sided with Feng Qianyan because he felt that Feng Qianyan had a greater chance of winning.

After Feng Qianyan ascended the throne, he promoted Fang Hong to the position of prime minister. In reality, this was Feng Qianyan's way of lowering Fang Hong's guard, as Fang Hong was quite capable. This move also helped to stabilize the court.

After becoming prime minister, Fang Hong spent his time developing his network of connections.

Feng Qianyan then secretly investigated and discovered his henchmen.

Fang Hong didn't have the guts to assassinate Feng Qianyan, but one of his generals, who was part of his network, was quite audacious and wanted to secretly assassinate the emperor.

He knew about it but turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

When the truth came out, he implicated the general.

Feng Qianyan naturally did not spare the general and executed him.

However, he also discovered that it was Fang Hong who sent people to assassinate Mu Tiantian.

In addition, Tang Xiu also uncovered evidence of his embezzlement, bribery, and forming cliques.

They could execute him with even more justification, and Fang Hong's fate would be even worse than that of the general.

Mu Tiantian: [What about his daughter?]

She remembered that Fang Hong seemed to have wanted to marry his daughter to Feng Qianlin back then.

System: [Fang Yue was disfigured two days before his incident. Now that the Fang family's property has been confiscated, and considering her plot to harm the princess, she has been exiled.]

Mu Tiantian: [Princess, is she the female lead of the world? I don't think I've seen her since I came back.]

System: [This world has no female protagonist, no woman with excessively high luck. Perhaps one will appear someday in the future. As for this princess, she is General Ren's daughter and Feng Qianyan's cousin. Fang Yue wanted to disfigure Ren Xiaoxiao, but her plan backfired, and she ended up disfigured herself instead.]

System: [Originally, we said Fang Yue didn't know what Fang Hong had done and planned to let her off the hook. But she offended Ren Xiaoxiao, infuriating Ren Shangbo. Feng Qianyan naturally wanted to avenge his uncle and cousin, saying he wanted to execute her. However, the family felt it wasn't necessary, since Fang Yue had already reaped what she sowed, so they simply exiled her.]

Mu Tiantian: [I didn't expect so much to have happened these past few days.]

System: [By the way, Feng Qianyan's hatred value has been reset to zero, and Quan Wufeng's anger value has also been reset to zero. Although your method was quite dangerous, it was indeed effective quickly.]

After Qi Tong and Mu Tiantian finished speaking, two women entered from outside the door.

"Princess, when do you think Miss Mu will wake up?"

"Brother Quan said it's possible in the next couple of days. I'll go give Miss Mu some water, and you can fetch a basin of water to wipe her body later."

“Princess, let me feed the water. Last time you got my clothes all wet. You can’t do this delicate work.”

"That was my first time, so this time I'll be extra careful." Ren Xiaoxiao chuckled and walked towards the bedside with a bowl of water.

Upon hearing the sound, Mu Tiantian turned her head and saw a graceful and gentle woman in a blue dress standing by the bed.

Ren Xiaoxiao excitedly shouted when she saw that the person was awake, "Brother Quan, the person is awake."

With that, she lifted her skirt and ran out.

Her voice doesn't quite match her appearance; it's slightly deep and androgynous, which is quite distinctive.

Her movements were somewhat boyish.

The maid was already used to her mistress's behavior, so she calmly walked over and asked Mu Tiantian in a soft voice, "Miss Mu, are you feeling better?"

Mu Tiantian nodded and replied, "Mmm... I'm feeling much better..."

Her voice was hoarse and her mouth was dry.

The maid helped her sit up and fed her a cup of water. Mu Tiantian felt weak and had little strength. After drinking the water, her throat felt better.

At this moment, Quan Wufeng rushed over.

He hurriedly took her pulse, and when it came back steady, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm alright, Brother Quan." Mu Tiantian gave a weak smile.

"How could you joke around with your own body like that? I told you I trust you, and I'll naturally help you talk to him and clear things up." Quan Wufeng was getting anxious. "Do you know what I...?"

He was frantic with worry; he was so afraid... afraid she wouldn't wake up...

But he dared not express his emotions too much, so he remained silent for a while to calm himself down.

Ren Xiaoxiao stood aside. This was the second time she had seen Quan Wufeng so emotional; the last time was three years ago.

She quietly left the room with her maid, not wanting to disturb the two of them.

After a while, Quan Wufeng had no choice but to change the subject, "Neither of you is easy to deal with."

"I'm sorry, Brother Quan, I made you worry." Mu Tiantian asked, "How is Ayan?"

Quan Wufeng told her about Feng Qianyan's situation.

Feng Qianyan's memories have been almost completely restored. Since she was assassinated in the palace, she was secretly taken to the General's Mansion for care.

After Fang Hong's matter was almost resolved, Feng Qianyan stayed by her side without closing his eyes. Yesterday, he collapsed from exhaustion.

When Mu Tiantian heard that Feng Qianyan had fainted, she thought of getting up to go see him.

Quan Wufeng quickly stopped her, "Where can you go in your current condition? He's fine, he'll be alright after a couple of days of rest. Your condition is more serious than his. I'll have someone prepare some food for you."

After saying this, he left the room and sent a maid to take care of her, not letting her get out of bed.

Mu Tiantian had no choice but to conserve her energy first.

By evening, Mu Tiantian had regained some strength, and Ren Xiaoxiao helped her to the table.

"Miss Mu, you haven't fully recovered yet, I'll feed you." Ren Xiaoxiao was a kind-hearted person. Although she was a bit carefree, she was still willing to patiently take care of her.

"It's alright, I feel much better and can eat by myself." Mu Tiantian said with a smile, "Princess, please eat with us."

"I've already eaten."

"Thank you for taking such good care of me."

"Don't be so polite, we're all family." Ren Xiaoxiao happily served food to Mu Tiantian.

After dinner.

Mu Tiantian felt much better and decided to go see Feng Qianyan.

After Ren Xiaoxiao led her there, she didn't disturb her any further and helped her close the door.

When Ren Xiaoxiao came out, she saw Quan Wufeng standing quietly in the courtyard, looking in this direction, his thin figure looking somewhat lonely.

She walked over, trying to appear ladylike and speak softly, "Brother Quan?"

Quan Wufeng snapped out of his reverie, smiled faintly, and asked, "Did she eat a lot tonight?"

“Miss Mu is eating a lot and seems to have a good appetite, so you don’t need to worry too much.”

"That's good..."

"Brother Quan..." Ren Xiaoxiao hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Say what you want to say."

Ren Xiaoxiao scratched her neck, appearing casual, as if asking offhand, "Brother Quan's sweetheart... is... Miss Mu?"

Quan Wufeng remained silent for a long while after hearing this, then smiled gently and said slowly, "Whether it is or not... is no longer important..."

...

Mu Tiantian walked to the bedside, and Feng Qianyan looked very haggard.

She called softly, "Ayan?"

Seeing that he didn't react, she stopped bothering him and helped him cover himself with the blanket.

At this moment, Feng Qianyan slowly opened his eyes and saw Mu Tiantian, and happily called out, "Sister."

Mu Tiantian paused upon hearing this, "Yan Yan?"
