Chapter 443: Fuping's Changes

A month passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Mo Jingxuan stayed at home and kept contacting people from the Mo Kingdom who had infiltrated.

Shangguan Nanxing was in the study, looking at the hard evidence collected in the box about Mo Jingxuan's plan to launch a sneak attack on the Dongyou Palace.

"Master, should we hand over these evidences to the emperor now and then arrest Mo Jingxuan?" Ruofeng followed Shangguan Nanxing's gaze to the box on the table and asked in a low voice.

"No, there are still three days until Mo Jingxuan and Fuping's wedding. As long as Mo Jingxuan doesn't move, we won't move either."

Shangguan Nanxing said this with a calculating smile.

Fuping's trouble will have to be solved sooner or later. The appearance of Mo Jingxuan really helps him a lot. As long as Mo Jingxuan does not take action, he will never move.

Since Fuping woke up, his words and actions seemed to be more restrained, but Shangguan Nanxing always felt that Fuping would not give up so easily.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Nanxing took another look at the evidence on the table.

It would be a good thing if Mo Jingxuan could restrain Fuping.

At the Princess's Mansion, Fu Ping became much more gloomy after waking up, and the maid serving her seemed like a different princess.

In the past, if the princess' servants did something wrong, she would beat and scold them. But is it different now? The princess now looks gloomy.

Even if they did something wrong, the princess would not get angry.

But this was even more difficult for the maids who served her, because they were horrified to find that although the princess no longer beat or scolded the servants, those servants and maids who displeased the princess would basically be found hanged in their rooms the next day, and their deaths were extremely tragic.

Because of the princess's ruthless methods, the entire princess's mansion now seems to be shrouded in a layer of haze. Everyone is trembling with fear, fearing that they will lose their lives if they are not careful.

Because the weather was hot, Fuping sat in the pavilion in the yard to paint and cool off. Not far away, the maids and servants were busy with their own work, with their heads down and not daring to make a sound.

A maidservant had the courage to take a look at the princess's painting because she was standing behind Fuping. The painting on the table is clearly of the current Crown Prince.

Seeing this, the maid was so shocked that she lowered her head.

Perhaps the maid was in panic and her movements were a little bigger. Fuping glanced behind him, sneered, and continued painting.

When the maid saw the princess like this, she thought that the princess did not notice her actions, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Princess, the person who was sent out has returned." At this time, someone came hurriedly, knelt down in front of Fu Ping, and reported with his head down.

"Let them in." After hearing this, Fuping looked up at the servant kneeling on the ground and said in a very cold tone.

"Yes, Princess." When the servant heard Fuping's words, he felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly stood up and ran to the door.

"Princess." Not long after, two old men in gray came hurriedly and bowed to the princess as soon as they came in. One of them had a goatee and the other had a beard, so they were very easy to distinguish.

"Have you two brothers found what I asked you two brothers to find?" Fuping put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the two people with gloomy eyes.

"My Lord, it took us nearly a month to finally find it in a remote mountain village."

The bearded old man answered respectfully, and when he mentioned the small mountain village, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, as if he had experienced something terrible.

"I'm glad I found it. It's worth my long wait." Fuping nodded slightly, very satisfied with the old man's answer.

"This is what we found. Princess, be careful and don't open it. It's windy outside."

The bearded old man carefully presented a palm-sized box, and Fuping motioned to the maid to take it.

"You did a great job, remember to collect your reward." Fuping took the exquisite palm-sized box, rubbed it in his palm, and his eyes were still fierce.

"Thank you, my lord. I just want to ask you what you are looking for this thing for. It is very dangerous."

After the two old men knelt down to express their gratitude, the old man with a goatee couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"I just saw this in a medical book and thought it was interesting." Fuping glanced at the box in his hand and said casually.

"Princess, this thing is very dangerous, you must be careful." After hearing Fuping say this, the old man with a goat beard stopped asking questions and just said something worriedly.

"Of course I know the danger." Fuping glanced at the old man who spoke, then stood up and walked into the room.

"Let's quickly collect the reward and leave." Seeing the princess like this, the bearded old man quickly pulled the goatee old man beside him and said.

"You know how dangerous that thing is. I'm worried about what the princess will do. Look at how much the princess has changed since she woke up."

The old man with a goatee looked at Fuping's departing back, his eyes full of worry, then he stood up and followed the old man with a beard towards the door.

"Brother, this princess is threatening the lives of our family members. Although we are doctors, we are also human beings. Weighing the pros and cons, I will definitely choose my family members."

The bearded man spoke in a voice that the two of them could hear, trying to gain comfort in his heart.

"Oh... I hope it's true as the princess said, she is just curious." The old man with a goatee heard his companion say this and said nothing more.

Indeed, compared to the things in the box, the lives of family members are the most important.

Not long after the two left, Fuping directly called a guard, gave the guard some silver bills, and then instructed him something. The guard took the order and left.

Fuping looked up. The sunlight outside shone through the window onto the bronze mirror, and then reflected a ray of light that fell right on Fuping's face. The faint red mark suddenly looked hideous under this ray of light.

Fuping narrowed his eyes slightly, stroking the box in his hands, with a sinister smile on his lips.

On a silent night, in a house at the foot of a mountain outside Dongyou City, screams of a man and a woman were suddenly heard from inside. Silence soon returned, and then flames shot up into the sky, as if to burn everything to ashes in an instant.
