Chapter 272: Stay Calm
And the reason why she was able to find such a precious thing was all thanks to Qin Qingyao!
In his previous life, Dugu Yu was injured. Qin Qingyao went crazy to save him and even found the Ghost Saint's lair and dug out the prescriptions he had researched.
Some save people, and some kill people. Of course, there are more ways to kill. After all, the lunatic Ghost Saint saves people for only one purpose, and that is to find a different way to kill that person again!
After her rebirth, the first thing she did was to intercept and take away what she wanted, and then burn everything else to ashes.
Qin Qingyao failed to save Dugu Yu, but with the help of the detailed poison testing notebooks left by the Ghost Saint, she became an expert in poison treatment and became Ling Jingxuan's right-hand man, who was so fascinated by him that he couldn't take his eyes off him.
This time, all these records are in my hands. Let’s see how you can save Dugu Yu and seduce Ling Jingxuan’s soul!
…
When she gave Dugu Yu the Wugui Powder, everyone thought she got it by accident, but in fact, it was not the case. She made it with her own hands!
I just don't know if something went wrong when she was preparing the medicine, or if the prescription she got was not the final product, but just a trial product at the beginning, so the efficacy was not so ideal.
As a result, although Dugu Yu was successfully controlled, he regained some consciousness halfway through. Not only did he not follow her instructions, he almost beat her to death!
After that, Lin Xiafeng became much more restrained, fearing that others would find out that he had such a precious note in his hands.
He took in that silly girl on the street not out of kindness, nor simply to cure her illness. Instead, he used the guise of doing good deeds to openly study the note in the house and test the medicine at the same time!
With that silly girl, she could openly collect those rare and exotic medicinal herbs everywhere, and even go to the Imperial Hospital to get those rare treasures that only existed in the palace.
Otherwise, her progress wouldn't be so fast!
She had already warned Qin Qingyao that she would give her a big gift, but she was afraid that even if Qin Qingyao racked her brains, she would not be able to guess what the gift was!
"One more month at most, Qin Qingyao, just wait!"
While Lin Xiafeng was concentrating on studying the prescription, Caiwei suddenly called out from outside the door, "Miss, the prince wants to meet you at the palace tomorrow morning!"
"Prince? Why would he want to see me?"
"I don't know, but the eunuch who delivered the message was extremely serious and repeatedly urged you to go tomorrow. I'm afraid he has something important to discuss with you."
Lin Xiafeng sneered. What important matter could that idiot have? He must have been tricked by Ling Jingxuan for some reason and came to her for advice!
She had to admit that although they were born to the same father, Ling Jingyu was like a spoiled child and was much dumber than Ling Jingxuan!
Lin Xiafeng guessed half right. The prince did come to her for advice, but not to deal with Ling Jingxuan, but to deal with Dugu Yu.
"Didn't you say that Dugu Yu was deeply in love with you, and that his power was your power? Why is he still helping Ling Jingxuan now?"
"Didn't the Crown Prince say before that Prince Wu Ling, a prince of a different surname, couldn't achieve anything significant and that it was fine if he didn't want to submit? Why does he want him now?"
The prince is such a conceited person that he can't stand being contradicted by others. He was very unhappy when Lin Xiafeng mocked him like this, but thinking that he still needed her help, he could only swallow his dissatisfaction and put on a gentle smile.
"I didn't listen to you before. It's my fault. I know you are very smart. You will definitely find a way to make Dugu Yu leave Ling Jingxuan, right?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether he helps me or not. I have a powerful woman like you by my side. She's no less powerful than a general like him, right?"
Lin Xiafeng smiled slightly without commenting, but he was rolling his eyes in his heart. Do they think I'm a three-year-old child? They actually use such crude techniques to coax me?
"I just don't want to see those two continue to collude with each other and cause trouble. And that Princess Wu Ling is meddling in other people's affairs and even meddling in the palace!"
"If I don't teach them a lesson, they'll think my mother and I are made of clay!"
Lin Xiafeng felt really strange when he saw the prince wishing he could eat the two people in Prince Wu Ling's Mansion alive. Qin Qingyao was indeed annoying, but wasn't it normal for her to save her aunt and cousin?
You can barely handle a Prince Duan, so why are you competing with a concubine who was driven out of the palace and a prince who was 'exiled' to the frontier?
Please leave the harem struggles to your mother, okay? As the crown prince, can you please be more open-minded and remember that you are a man?
"If the Crown Prince dislikes Consort Shu and Prince Ning, he can wait until the storm has died down and the Emperor no longer remembers them and then send someone to secretly deal with them. Once they leave the palace, how can they cause any trouble?"
The Crown Prince said, "I don't care whether the mother and son live or die! What I care about is that bitch Qin Qingyao actually spread rumors to Ling Jingxuan, saying that Huipin's son is my child!"
"Those lunatics actually wanted to bring me down with such a lowly charge as committing adultery in the harem. What a wild dream!"
Lin Xiafeng, "How do you know these things?"
The prince laughed disdainfully, "Have you forgotten who is in charge of Fenghuaxueyue? Hou Hongtu is the Taifu's biological son!"
Lin Xiafeng really thought that the death of the Nineteenth Prince and Concubine Hui was just a normal harem struggle, and Qin Qingyao got involved only because Concubine Shu's surname was Qin, and she was afraid of implicating the Qin family and herself.
But why is there such a complicated story behind this? Why did Qin Qingyao say that the Nineteenth Prince was the Crown Prince's child?
What about Concubine Shu? She has no reason to jump out at this time to kill the Nineteenth Prince and hinder Prince Duan. She should help the Crown Prince in his time of need!
Could it be that Concubine Shu was really wronged, and the Nineteenth Prince and Concubine Hui were silenced by the Crown Prince?
If Qin Qingyao and Prince Duan were truly spreading rumors, then what was the Crown Prince afraid of? Why would he kill someone? He could easily use the same tactics to prove Prince Duan was trying to slander him and reveal Prince Duan's ambitions to the Emperor!
But he didn't, the nineteenth prince is dead... Is this destroying the evidence, leaving no evidence behind?
Lin Xiafeng's eyes widened instantly when she thought of this. This had never happened in her previous life. The Crown Prince and Huipin? Wasn't this a bit too disgusting?!
She looked at the prince and unconsciously took a step back. How much sacrifice would she have to make for revenge? What kind of man had she found for herself?
Compared with His Royal Highness Prince Duan's self-discipline, propriety and purity, this prince is simply a piece of trash!
Originally, Prince Duan should have been hers, originally, the best man in the world should have been hers!
It was all because of Qin Qingyao! If she hadn't appeared, how could Prince Duan have fallen in love with someone else, how could he have let her down!
If Prince Duan hadn't wronged her, why would she have ended up like this? Why would she have chosen such a disgusting man like Ling Jingyu?
Lin Xiafeng was really hit hard, but this blow did not make her choose to stay away from the prince. She transformed all her disgust towards the prince into hatred towards Ling Jingxuan and Qin Qingyao.
It’s all your fault that I, Lin Xiafeng, am in this situation today. You deserve to die!
She looked up at the Crown Prince, not even trying to hide the deep hatred in her eyes. "Does your Highness think the key to the problem lies with the Wuling Palace? Without Prince Duan, what can they do, no matter how powerful they are? Do you still want to change the dynasty and make Zhaoling change his surname?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is, as long as Prince Duan is cleared out of the court, those lackeys around him will be like grasshoppers after autumn, unable to jump even if they want to!"
Isn't that nonsense? The Crown Prince has been wanting to remove Prince Duan from the court for years! If it were that easy, why would he wait until now?
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Lin Xiafeng narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I do have an idea, but before I have solid evidence, I can't tell you too much. Please trust me, wait a month at the latest, and I will definitely help you make sure Prince Duan never gets over his mistakes!"
"In the meantime, please be careful with Prince Duan and be patient. Don't let him harm you again!"
What he meant was that I will deal with Prince Duan, so you just take care of yourself and don't hold me back!
The prince had a smile on his face and his eyes were full of trust, but he was very disapproving in his heart. He felt that Lin Xiafeng was just a womanizer. Although she was smart, her power was limited after all. What could she do to Prince Duan?
But no matter what, as long as Lin Xiafeng is willing to be on the same side as him and get against Ling Jingxuan, the prince will not discourage her enthusiasm. If he can't kill Ling Jingxuan, it's okay to disgust him!
The two met in a hurry, and the prince left in a hurry again. Lin Xiafeng did not tell him how he specifically planned to make Ling Jingxuan unable to turn over, and the prince did not tell Lin Xiafeng that he and the queen were planning a big move, preparing to kill three birds with one stone, so that Prince Duan, Prince Wuling and Minister Qin would all be in trouble.
Or, if everything goes well, he can kill four birds with one stone. The blind and stubborn Wu Shifeng at Chiayi Pass doesn't even take him, the prince, seriously. His good days are coming to an end!
…
Hou Hongtu is a bit of a bastard, but he is just addicted to eating, drinking, having fun and doing illegal things. He is not stupid.
He really didn't mean to overhear the conversation between Qin Qingyao and Ling Jingxuan. Moreover, he didn't tell the prince about it. Instead, he went home to ask his father for confirmation.
He admitted that he was not a gentleman, but no matter how ridiculous he was, he had never touched his father's concubine! Wasn't this prince too shameless?
So he went back and asked his father whether this matter was true. If the prince was such a bastard who was even worse than him, shouldn't his father be ashamed, blame himself, and resign from his post?
He is the Grand Tutor, and he was the one who trained the Crown Prince. Yet he abandoned his own child and didn't care about him. What kind of person did he train?
