Concubine Yuan's words made Feng Yuheng laugh so much that she couldn't even straighten her back. Concubine Yuan was so angry that she slammed the table and shouted angrily: "How dare you! You are just the prince's consort, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me?"
When Feng Yuheng's laughter finally stopped, she asked Concubine Yuan: "So what if I'm being presumptuous? Concubine, do we still need to hide anything from each other? After several rounds of competition, have you ever won?"
"I have won now!" Concubine Yuan was very proud of this. "As long as Dashun still has a monarch, we will not allow a little girl like you to act recklessly. In the past, you relied on the support of the Ninth Prince, and I could not defeat you, and even retreated step by step because of you. But now it is different. I am a noble concubine, the one that the emperor holds in his heart. Feng Yuheng, you are no longer qualified to compete with me, because as long as I say a word, the emperor can immediately order you to be executed."
"Really?" Feng Yuheng covered her mouth and laughed again, "Then believe it or not, if I die, neither you nor the Eighth Prince will continue to live. What's more - I won't die, don't worry, I will live longer than you anyway."
"Feng Yuheng!" Concubine Yuan was so angry that her face turned blue, "Who gave you the courage to be so presumptuous?"
"I gave it to myself." She told Concubine Yuan seriously, "Courage is something you should never rely on the help of others. It is something you have and you have earned it yourself. I dare to sit here and say this to you today, so I am sure I can leave this palace safely. If you don't believe me, try it. Just like you tested me with a bowl of poisoned tea, try it again and see what you can do to me."
As soon as she pointed out the truth, Concubine Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and she stammered: "You, you, what did you say?"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying, Your Majesty? I'm saying, don't think that many things are hidden from the eyes of the gods, but in fact, those who should know know the truth. Also, the question you asked me just now, was it me who caused the Eighth Prince's illness? Then I ask you, was it you who poisoned the emperor? Will you admit it? If you don't admit it, there's no need to talk to me with such childish questions, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Concubine Yuan didn't want to talk to Feng Yuheng anymore. She didn't even want to look at Feng Yuheng again. At this moment, Concubine Yuan's face turned pale and she was panicking. She wanted to drive Feng Yuheng away quickly. She had to discuss this matter with the Gu Master. If this continued, things would be bad! Moreover, why was Feng Yuheng fine after drinking the tea? Wasn't she afraid of Gu? Also, how did she know about Gu?
Countless questions swirled in Concubine Yuan's mind. She hurriedly sent Feng Yuheng away, even shouting, "I don't want you to see a doctor. Even if I can't have children, I don't want you to see a doctor. Go away, go away quickly!"
Feng Yuheng stood up slowly and drank the remaining half bowl of tea in front of Concubine Yuan, and then left Cunshan Palace in the surprised eyes of the other party. But before leaving, she inadvertently saw the other party's eyes glanced into the bedroom.
There was something fishy going on in that bedroom, and Feng Yuheng had no doubt about it until this moment.
After coming out of Cunshan Palace, she took Wangchuan for a few quick steps, and then stopped on a secluded path. She told Wangchuan: "You go first. When you leave the palace, if someone asks why you came out alone, just say that I went to Yuehan Palace to pay New Year's greetings to Concubine Yun."
Wang Chuan became nervous when he heard her say this, "Miss, are you going to act alone? Will you continue to stay in the palace?"
"Yes." Feng Yuheng nodded, and at the same time comforted him: "Don't worry, it's okay. This is not the first time I come into the palace alone. Xuan Tianming is at ease, so why should you be at ease? This broken place is not as comfortable as walking on flat ground for me, but it is not much different. Anyway, you should leave the palace first, and don't ask more questions. Things here are also urgent, and I don't have time to talk to you in detail. Go back quickly! At the latest, I will be able to return home by noon."
Wang Chuan had never been able to persuade Feng Yuheng, and thinking about it, Feng Yuheng often came to the palace alone, so he felt relieved. After giving him a few more instructions, he left reluctantly.
It was not until Wangchuan walked away that Feng Yuheng looked around again. After confirming that there was no one around, he immediately disappeared into space.
The tea she stole from Cunshan Palace was still on the counter in the space, but she had no intention of studying it. Instead, she took advantage of the convenience of space movement and returned to the main hall of Cunshan Palace again.
This time, her target was Concubine Yuan's bedroom. Although she had checked it last time, she didn't find out what was going on. This time was different. She could see panic in Concubine Yuan's anxious and worried eyes, and that panic seemed to need something or someone in the bedroom to relieve it. Emperor Tianwu was not there at this time, and she believed that as long as she went back, she would be able to find out what was going on in Concubine Yuan's bedroom.
Feng Yuheng revisited the old place with such a mood. Just as she appeared in the bedroom, she heard a slight sound of heavy objects moving in a corner. She looked in the direction of the sound, but was still a little slow. She could only see that in a corner, a wall seemed to move, but it closed quickly. The bedroom became quiet instantly. If she hadn't been confident in her intuition and reaction sensitivity, she would have thought that the sound she just heard was an illusion, and the wall movement she saw was also an illusion.
But Feng Yuheng would not think that way. At this moment, she was almost certain that what she wanted to find and all the secrets she wanted to see were behind that wall. As long as she walked in, she could uncover all the mysteries.
She took a deep breath. There was no servant serving in the bedroom. Even Yuan Guifei's most trusted maid Yuexiu was sent to guard outside. This further proved that the bedroom was a forbidden area. In other words, when there was movement on that wall, this place was a forbidden area.
Without waiting any longer, she quickly moved to the wall and pressed a few times with her hands to roughly determine the thickness of the wall. Although it was not very accurate, it was not much different. At least she could easily get to the other side of the wall by using the space.
Feng Yuheng disappeared and counted his steps in space, but he was not sure where he would appear inside the wall when he appeared again. It would be embarrassing if he appeared in front of Concubine Yuan.
She counted five steps forward, then moved a few steps to the right, measuring the width of the wall space she noticed outside, and thinking that when she reappeared, she should stick to the wall, so that she would not stand directly in the middle or in front of everyone.
It was a gamble anyway, so she took a deep breath, and with a thought, she flashed out of the space. However, she never expected that when she appeared, she would find herself standing in the water.
Feng Yuheng was embarrassed. Damn, this is actually a bathroom?
Fortunately, it was a bathroom, and there was too much mist, so the range of vision was very small. In addition, she was careful and did not move, so even though she was aware that there were two people bathing at the side about five steps away from her, she was still not discovered.
This was the first time that Feng Yuheng had experienced coming out of space and directly entering water. He felt very disgusted because this was not just water, but bath water, someone else's bath water, and there was a man and a woman taking a bath together in the water.
Fortunately, the two of them were just flirting and didn't do anything extreme. The reason why they were still at the flirting stage was because the heroine, Concubine Yuan, was feeling nervous at the moment and had too many things she wanted to ask the man.
First of all, the first question is: "Why is your bowl of Gu tea of no use to Feng Yuheng?"
The man shook his head: "Impossible, no one, even the Gu tribe members, can escape my bowl of Gu tea, unless she didn't drink it at all."
"She drank it!" Concubine Yuan said with certainty, "I saw her drink it with my own eyes. She drank it twice in total. The first time she drank half a bowl, and the second time she drank it all. But until she left the palace gate of Cunshan Palace, she didn't show any signs of illness."
"How could this happen?" The man's voice was also full of doubts. This was the first time he failed in casting a curse, and the failure was so bizarre that he was puzzled.
At this time, Concubine Yuan threw out a second question. She asked the other party: "That girl has already revealed that the old man was poisoned. Could it be that she has seen through our plan?"
The man told Concubine Yuan: "What if they saw through it? I put a death poison on him, which has no antidote unless I die. But if I die, the old emperor will die with him, so even if they know, they can't do anything to me. Now, the old emperor's life is in our hands. As long as the old emperor is obedient, what can that girl do if she sees it? Who will believe it if she tells others? Even if someone believes it, we have our own way to make the old emperor execute those who believe it one by one."
Having said this, Concubine Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them stopped talking and started to have fun in the water. Feng Yuheng disappeared into the space, and did not have time to change her wet clothes. She kept thinking about the phrase "Death Heart Gu" in her mind, and a chill came over her body.
This was the outcome she feared the most. The Death Heart Gu meant there was no cure, unless the person who raised the Gu died. However, the worst thing was that the death of the person who raised the Gu did not mean the Gu was cured, but would also cause the person who was poisoned to die. This was too scary. This Death Heart Gu was just like what that person said. What could she do to him? Unless she risked the life of Emperor Tianwu, but could she afford to do that?
To be honest, Feng Yuheng still had a lot of feelings for the old emperor. Before the old emperor was poisoned, he was a good person and protected her from beginning to end. It was because of the old emperor's protection that she was able to make a good living in this world. Now that she saw the old emperor being controlled by others, she felt indescribably uncomfortable, especially when she saw Concubine Yun becoming thinner and thinner in Prince Chun's mansion, she was even more anxious.
Now that she heard that it was the Death Heart Gu, Feng Yuheng felt very powerless for the first time in her life. For the first time, she felt that she had encountered an unsolvable problem. When super-century medical technology met Gu magic, it really drove her crazy.
Now that they knew who raised the poison, Concubine Yuan Shu and the Eighth Prince seemed to have no reason to live. But she didn't want to kill the two directly now, because that would be too easy for them. Now that the Eighth Prince had poison in his body, she was looking forward to seeing him rot to death. As for Concubine Yuan, she always wanted to leave this man to Emperor Tianwu one day and let him deal with him himself. But she didn't know if Emperor Tianwu would have this chance again...
