Wei Jie's powerful words made Ling Yuan gasp, "Your Highness, I'm afraid I don't have time. I'm already busy treating patients, and you're assigning me this kind of work. Are you sure you're not going to tire me to death?"
"That's your business."
Ling Yuan was stunned by someone's words without any sympathy. "No way, are you serious?"
Wei Jie glanced at her lazily, "Do you think this King wrote anything joking?"
"But, but these are your Black Scale Guards. Any one of them can knock me down. You let them follow me. Isn't this a waste of natural resources?"
"But they lost you!"
"That's because of me," seeing someone was about to blurt out, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed across Wei Jie's seemingly nonchalant eyes.
"Girl, I want to see when you can tell the truth."
Unfortunately, this girl was quite alert and actually kept silent at the critical moment.
"It's not their fault, it's just that my disguise skills are too good."
"Then teach them the real art of disguise."
Ling Yuan frowned, "You make it sound easy, do you think the art of disguise is easy to learn?"
"Since it's not easy to learn, then we should learn it even more. If it were easy to learn, wouldn't everyone know it?"
"The reason why the Black Scale Guards are called the Black Scale Guards is because they are extremely rare!"
This seems to be true, but why does she always feel like she is being plotted against?
"Let me teach them, yes, but I have one condition."
Want her to give in vain? No way!
"You say." Seeing that she agreed, Wei Jie could naturally discuss the conditions.
"Who is that fake ghost doctor?" I didn't expect that this girl would not give up. It seemed that she was determined to fight him to the death.
"Must I know?" Ling Yuan nodded, staring at him intently, "Yes, I must know."
Although she had already found out, she lacked an opportunity to talk to him face to face.
If he told her, that would be the best. If he didn't, she would also have a way to make him tell her.
Wei Jie raised his right hand slightly, and everyone including Qingchen retreated instantly. In the huge courtyard, only the two of them were left.
"Are you so sure that this person is a fake ghost doctor?"
“It’s natural.”
"Why?"
"You haven't told me who this fake ghost doctor is!"
If you don't tell me, why should I tell you?
Wei Jie, you old fox, you are such a traitor to me.
She thought Wei Jie would not tell her so easily, but to her surprise, he actually told her.
"You also know this person, Shangguan Qingxi, the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family."
Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment, her complicated expression was clearly visible. Wei Jie narrowed his eyes, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that you already knew it, but you just wanted to confirm it with me, right?"
Ling Yuan shrugged noncommittally, "Yes, I do know that, but I'm more curious about what your relationship with her is."
"Want to know?" Ling Yuan rolled her eyes. "Nonsense, don't you want to know why I'm wasting my breath with you?"
"Tell me, how do you know she is fake? Who is the real ghost doctor?"
He raised his eyebrows, and his voice gradually became colder, which made Ling Yuan frown.
Originally, she was just hoping for the best, thinking that this man would not possibly suspect her, but now it seems that not only did he suspect her, but he did so very early on.
So the reason why Shangguan Qingxi didn't use her real body but used the name of Ghost Doctor was most likely his idea?
The purpose is to confirm the relationship between the ghost doctor and her?
When she questioned him as Feng Yan, he also questioned her relationship with the ghost doctor in the same tone.
Now it’s Ling Yuan’s turn, and he still refuses to give up this identity.
If he didn't know it in advance like she did and wanted to confirm it again, why would he go to so much trouble?
Thinking of this, Ling Yuan felt relieved. What if she knew, what if she didn't know? Anyway, the Ghost Doctor was her, Ling Yuan was her, Feng Yan was still her, and she was still the same person. It was nothing more than having a few more identities on top of the original ones.
Thinking of this, she stood up, her eyes fell lightly on his wild face that looked like a devil or a god, and she smiled faintly.
"Since I already know who this fake ghost doctor is, there's no need to continue our conversation. I'll take your people. As for when I can spare the time to teach them, that's up to me. Do you have any objection to that?"
Wei Jie raised his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes hiding the smile in his eyes: "No problem, my king, just do as you like."
Ling Yuan glanced at him indifferently, "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions? If not, I will withdraw first."
After hearing what she said, Wei Jie also stood up and walked to her. He bent down, leaned close to her ear, and spoke in a low voice, as gentle as a spring breeze, warming her heart.
"My dear, your expression has already told me the answer. I am very satisfied with your performance. As expected, Princess Feng is your Lingyuan. No one can replace her!"
Ling Yuan frowned slightly, and was wondering whether his words were a compliment or criticism, when Wei Jie raised the corner of his lips, turned around and left in a very good mood, leaving Ling Yuan looking at his back, unable to recover for a long time.
"What do you think he meant by this?"
When Ling Yuan was puzzled, Hei Chun suddenly appeared from space, lying elegantly on her shoulder, looking at her beautiful profile, and shook his head speechlessly: "You can't even hear this? Your identity has been exposed!"
"But I didn't say anything!"
"You seem to have said nothing, but in reality? It's the same as consent, my master!"
Bai Zha showed up at some point, and looking at Ling Yuan's dull and stupid look, both of them rubbed their foreheads in silence.
If she wanted to refute, she could have done so at that time, but she said nothing. Given Wei Jie's intelligence, how could he not hear and see her hidden meaning?
After Ling Yuan came to his senses, he felt a chill down his spine and his cheeks puffed up instantly, "I got fooled by this vixen again, ahhh!"
The frustrated Ling Yuan wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it. She looked at her two pets on her left and right and asked in great frustration.
"Fortunately, he only knows the relationship between Ling Yuan and the Ghost Doctor, and the other relationship has not been exposed yet!"
Ling Yuan's words of self-comfort immediately caused the two pets to cover their eyes, unable to bear to look at it. They had seen stupid people, but had never seen such a stupid master!
It hasn't been exposed yet, but last night, you exposed everything, okay?
I didn't expect you to say anything just now, but your expression was so real that even if I wanted to ignore it, I probably couldn't, right?
You could clearly deny it, but you chose to escape. Even a fool knows what escape means, right?
Also, whether it's Ling Yuan, Feng Yan, or the Ghost Doctor, aren't you the only one here? Is there anything you're embarrassed to say?
However, the two pets do not understand the complexity of the human world at all. Sometimes hiding an identity may very well become a trump card for a surprise victory, but unfortunately, Ling Yuan is still a little lacking compared to Wei Jie.
Now she had nowhere to hide in front of him.
Of course, this is not something that can be remedied with just a few words.
After all, the current results are the result of one event after another.
Otherwise, a simple incident would not be enough for the other party to find fault with you.
The flaws were exposed inadvertently, such as Feng Yan and Yuan Yuan in the Sifang Continent, Ling Yuan and Su Yu on the road to the City That Never Sleeps, the palm when they first met and the old lady in black who later appeared in Fengchi Villa, and so on.
It is precisely because of all these causes that we have today's consequences.
In fact, everything has been destined.
As for Wei Jie's last sentence, it is very thought-provoking.
"Hey, what do you mean by I am the undisputed Phoenix Princess? What do you mean by I cannot be replaced? Hey, what do you mean by that?"
Hei Chunzhen wanted to slap her awake, "What else could it mean? What he meant was just what he said on the surface. Do you think that in this world, besides you Feng Yan, you Ling Yuan, and you Ghost Doctor, who else is worthy of him, the Phoenix King?"
Ling Yuan: ...
Damn, isn't this guy too conceited? Is he shameless? Is he praising her or showing off himself?
Only then did I realize that all the talk of being unkind, unfathomable, and being frugal with words were just bullshit.
This guy is a despicable, shameless, conceited, narcissistic, and self-righteous bastard!!!
Poor girl, she was sold by someone and is still counting money for him!
With such an IQ, even she herself was anxious about herself, boohoo, Wei Jie, you bastard, I’m going to draw a circle and curse you!!!
Ling Yuan returned to Taoran Residence with a broken heart. She was just about to let her beautiful and considerate maid pet her, but she didn't expect that someone would come to her door at this time.
Xia Yunhe?
Ling Yuan blinked and slapped her thigh fiercely, "Ah, she, she is, isn't she,"
The new concubine of that damn man?
Damn it, I was so busy arguing with him that I forgot such an important thing.
The most hateful thing is that this man didn't even show himself in front of her. How much does he think of her?
Peacemaker An Hui looked at her cautiously: "Maybe the prince accidentally forgot about it?"
"How could you forget such an important thing?" Anna said with disdain, and it seemed that she had a lot of dissatisfaction with Wei Jie.
Anne, this idiot, was even more whimsical. "Maybe the prince thinks this matter is not worth mentioning at all?"
An Ran curled her lips, "The imperial decree has been issued, but the princess was the last to know about it. Do you think this matter is not worth mentioning?"
"Then Princess, are you going to meet her or not?"
Ever since Ling Yuan moved into Taoran Residence, Xia Yunhe has come several times, but she has never seen him. Today she must have seen their master coming back, otherwise how could she come at such a perfect time?
Ling Yuan frowned, "A concubine is also a concubine, right? Doesn't our prince plan to give her a ceremony?"
As far as she knew, a concubine was several levels higher than a concubine or even a noble concubine. Although she could not enter through the main gate of the palace, she would at least be given a ceremony. After all, her marriage was granted by the imperial decree!
But Wei Jie didn't even tell her a word. What was even more frustrating was that she only found out about this from Su Yu.
Just thinking about it made her furious. Now this woman was still guarding the door, as if she would feel aggrieved if she didn't see her.
Ling Yuan waved her hands irritably, "I'm in a bad mood today."
She hadn't gotten over the grievances she suffered from Wei Jie yet, and now another troublemaker came. She was in no mood to deal with him.
Especially since Wei Jie's attitude was unclear, she didn't want to steal the headlines at this juncture.
"Let her go, and tell her that I have been traveling all night and am exhausted. I will see you when I am free."
But An Hui was a little worried, "Princess, we have used this reason several times. If we use it again, I'm afraid it will be a little unreasonable."
"Since the prince has not expressed his opinion, you should just follow the normal rules. She is just a concubine, and she can't get past you no matter what, right?"
"There are only you and her in this palace. If we never see each other, who knows what these people who are used to changing their attitudes according to the wind will say about you."
Their princess was young and often disappeared, so the management of the palace was entirely handed over to the butler Lan Yu, who became a hands-off manager.
Those who understand this will say that their princess knows how to make the best use of things and how to find helpers for herself.
Anyway, Lan Yu is in charge of both the front yard and the back yard, so there's nothing wrong with just leaving everything to him.
After all, their Fengwang Mansion only has one female member, the princess, and there is nothing much to manage.
Those who don't understand this will think that their princess is young, useless in the palace, has no say, and is even less capable of managing the palace. Look, the finances of the palace are still in the hands of a grown man.
Now that the concubine has entered the palace, if things remain the same, the backyard of Prince Feng's mansion will probably become a big joke in Kyoto.
If the butler Lan Yu went out, he would probably be drowned in spit.
It's strange enough that a grown man is managing the backyard. It would have been fine if it was the princess herself before, but now it's not her anymore. The management rights of the backyard must fall into the hands of the right person, right?
After figuring this out, Ling Yuan became depressed. Damn, it seems that she has to meet this woman today whether she wants to or not?
"Not only do you have to see her, but you also have to take control of the housekeeping power. It's already July 18th, and in less than a month it will be August 15th. You might even have to go to the palace by then, Princess. There are so many serious things to do!"
This reminder really stunned Ling Yuan. Before, all her attention was on Du Yin, and Wei Jie was deliberately ignored by Wei Yuchen.
Things are different now. Du Yin's illness has been cured, Wei Jie is attending court normally, and the emperor even didn't mind making things worse and appointed a concubine for Wei Jie. It's obvious that this was done to make things difficult for her.
If she continues to be the same as before, won't the emperor be more likely to cause trouble for her?
Originally, she was introduced to Wei Jie to embarrass him, but who would have thought that this ugly girl actually had such a skill. Now, not only did she help Wei Jie, she also humiliated him.
Wei Yuchen has always been a vengeful person, so it is not impossible for him to find a way to get back at his enemies now.
"Then let her in."
Isn't it just meeting a concubine? Wei Jie has said that she is the well-deserved Princess Feng, who can compare to her?
Eh? Wait, wait a minute, is this sentence telling her that she doesn't need to worry about Xia Yunhe at all?
Because she is the mistress of Fengwang Mansion?
Ling Yuan pulled the corners of his mouth and twitched his eyes. Damn, isn't this Wei Jie's words a little too profound?
Poor her, her IQ is obviously not online, it took her so long to figure it out.
Draw an arrow and shoot it through him! Damn, this is too wicked!
Just when Ling Yuan was gritting her teeth in anger, An Hui suddenly tugged at her sleeve, and she came back to her senses.
Soon, a pretty beauty came in slowly with lotus steps, supported by her maid.
The lowered brows, pleasant look, and cautious appearance, which was somewhat like the demeanor of a white lotus, made Ling Yuan feel disgusted.
She knelt in front of her with a very humble look, and took the tea served by the maid with a reserved but calm attitude, and raised it high above her head: "I, Xia, greet the princess. May the princess be blessed with good health. Please have some tea."
Ling Yuan took the tea and glanced at An Hui beside her. An Hui immediately presented the gift she had just prepared, which was a jade hairpin with crabapple and emerald green beads, which was the dowry that Li Hongtao gave her.
It may not be very precious, but it is not something that someone like Xia Yunhe can afford. It is just right for her status.
After all, the accessories given to her by the Emperor of Mei Kingdom and Wei Jie were suitable for her status, and she, a concubine, could not afford to wear them.
As for the dowry given to her by Lingjiazhuang, each of them was carefully selected, and she really couldn't bear to take them out to give as rewards.
The Emperor of Mei Kingdom has done a good job of saving his face. After all, he represents the royal family, so the dowry will not be low.
Only Li Hongtao really lived up to his scumbag father's reputation. Her dowry was all kinds of things, not only messy, but also those jewelry were not suitable for her at all.
Moreover, the quality was only top-notch, not very rare, and not very exquisite, so she kept them all for rewarding others.
"Okay, get up and sit down." Ling Yuan casually took a sip of the tea she handed to him and put it down just for the sake of politeness.
The person in front of me was wearing a cherry-colored dress and had a fair complexion. Against this beautiful dress, her complexion looked even more rosy and delicate, like a beautiful jade that was hard to look away from.
Today she put on a light powder, and her jet-black long hair was combed into an elegant bun, decorated with a simple and small hairpin, making her look elegant and graceful.
Although her body looked a little frail, her overall attire was in no way inferior to that of the ladies from Kyoto, and she was quite the epitome of a lady from a noble family.
After comparing herself in this way, her fat and dark appearance turned out to be a real ugly thing.
"Thank you, Princess." Look, her voice is as melodious and sweet as an oriole.
However, Ling Yuan curled her lips indifferently. She had seen many beauties and been stimulated many times, so this one was naturally not a big deal.
The only difference between her and others was probably that she was Wei Jie's concubine.
"I wonder why Concubine Xia came here today?"
Xia Yunhe was slightly stunned and raised her head. Because of this action, she could see clearly what the legendary Princess Feng looked like.
She still remembered that she had only glanced at Ling Yuan from a distance last time. Although the distance was far, Ling Yuan's image still left a deep impression on her. Now observing her from such a close distance, her pupils suddenly dilated.
Fortunately, I had already prepared myself mentally, so today I was only stiff for a moment, but I quickly returned to normal.
This Princess Feng is exactly the same as the rumors said, fat and dark, dressed in black clothes and black skirt. She looks as ugly as a charcoal head. With this look, how could the prince even look at her?
Oh my God, even she, as a woman, can’t stand it, let alone a normal man?
Anyone who sees this would feel nauseous and disgusted, right?
Unfortunately, her impression of the Princess Feng was that she was a little young, a little ugly, and her medical skills were slightly better. She had no idea that Ling Yuan's success today was not due to her appearance and reputation.
