1230 Betrayal, I didn't expect it to be you
Feng Qingchen was not worried about Princess Yaohua's affairs. She was no longer the girl with nothing, and it would not be easy for the emperor to use her as a scapegoat.
So, when Wang Jinling offered to help, Feng Qingchen instinctively refused. She could easily use the people left to her by the Ninth Prince, and there was no need to use Wang Jinling's connections, but Wang Jinling disagreed.
"Your method can only solve the problem at hand, but it cannot teach the emperor a lesson. If you don't fight back fiercely, the emperor will never know what pain is." Wang Jinling said firmly, and Feng Qingchen had no choice but to accept it.
The three chatted about some details, and as it was getting late at night, Wang Jinling and Yun Xiao had to leave. There was no other way, since the Feng family had no men, they couldn't stay the night even if they wanted to.
"Be careful on the road. Yunxiao, you didn't bring any guards with you, so let the guards from Feng Mansion escort you back." Yunxiao was a talent she had finally won over, so nothing could happen to him.
Yun Xiao thought about it and decided not to refuse, and left with Wang Jinling under the light.
After Feng Qingchen saw the two off, he felt very sleepy, so he stretched and yawned, and asked the servants to bring him some hot water.
Go take a shower and go to bed!
Feng Qingchen was sleepy and tired. If the servant hadn't reminded her, she would have almost fallen asleep in the bathtub. She climbed onto the bed in a daze and fell asleep. Just after her breathing calmed down, a woman dressed in the clothes of a servant in the Feng Mansion walked into the room. The secret guard took a look and found that she was an acquaintance, so he didn't take it seriously.
The girl entered the room and turned on the light outside, which made the secret guard feel more at ease.
It looks like the girl has some instructions.
The woman lit the light and waited for a long time, but Feng Qingchen still didn't wake up, so she bravely pulled out the bamboo flute from her sleeve and played it into the room.
A wisp of green smoke drifted into the house, bringing with it a pleasant fragrance.
After waiting for a while and making sure that Feng Qingchen had been drugged, the woman lifted her skirt and walked towards the inner room. When she saw Feng Qingchen lying on the bed, her heart began to pound wildly.
When she came to Feng Qingchen, this day was destined to come, but she didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
She didn't want to betray the girl, but she couldn't disobey her master's orders. She had to get the token from Feng Qingchen.
The woman approached Feng Qingchen cautiously, and after repeated checks, she confirmed that Feng Qingchen had been drugged. The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and pulled out a rope from around Feng Qingchen's neck, slowly pulling it out.
"I got it." The woman's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and her hands were getting steadier. When something like a token slipped out of Feng Qingchen's collar, the woman couldn't help but get excited. She quickly took out the knife on her body, ready to cut the rope and take the token away, but at this moment...
Her hand was held by someone. The woman looked up hurriedly and met Feng Qingchen's eyes. She was completely stunned.
She thought that Feng Qingchen, who had passed out from the drug, was looking at her with cold murderous intent in his eyes.
"Girl, girl, I, I..." The woman's face turned pale and she wanted to explain, but she was caught in the act by Feng Qing. What else could she say?
The woman's whole body was shaking, and her hand holding the knife was a little unsteady. If Feng Qingchen hadn't held her hand, she would have collapsed to the ground by now.
Feng Qingchen glanced at the woman coldly and said, "Xia Wan, I didn't expect it was you."
"Miss, I..." Xia Wan bit her lip and lowered her head, looking like she didn't know what to do. But at this moment, she stabbed Feng Qingchen with the hand holding the knife: "Miss, I'm sorry, I had no choice."
"You don't have to say sorry to me. Since you chose to betray me, you should bear the consequences." Feng Qingchen was prepared. When Xia Wan reached out her hand, he twisted her hand and kicked her away.
"You are the one carefully selected by the Ninth Uncle. You should know very well that you can't beat me with your kung fu, nor can you escape." Feng Qingchen rolled down from the bed, picked up the clothes beside him and put them on, saying, "Come out."
With a "swish" sound, two black shadows appeared from nowhere. Without Feng Qingchen's orders, the two men captured Xia Wan and prevented her from committing suicide.
Xia Wan's face was ashen and her eyes were filled with despair. She looked at Feng Qingchen in silence. She didn't know where she had revealed her flaw. She had always been fine before. In fact, the girl liked her very much because of her cleverness.
"Do you want to know why I found you?" Feng Qingchen asked with raised eyebrows, as if he knew what Xia Wan was thinking.
Xia Wan's jaw dropped and she could only nod with pain.
Where exactly did she reveal her flaw?
Feng Qingchen curled his lips and smiled, mockingly saying, "You did a good job. I never doubted you at all. I was just on guard against the emperor. When the emperor saw the token in my hand during the day, he wanted it so much. With his personality, he would definitely take action. If he can't do it openly, he will definitely try secretly. I originally thought that the emperor would send someone to assassinate me, but I didn't expect... there are spies of the emperor in my mansion. Xia Wan, you are really hiding well."
She thought there might be someone else's spy in the mansion, but she didn't expect it to be Xia Wan, who was sent by the Ninth Prince.
Because they were sent by the Ninth Prince, she was obviously not too wary of Chun Hui, Qiu Hua, Xia Wan and Dong Qing. Unlike Tong Jue and Tong Yao, she did not allow them to serve her closely after many tests and interrogations.
However, I didn't expect that such a negligence almost brought fatal harm to me. Fortunately, I discovered it early.
Xia Wan lowered her head, not speaking or being able to speak. From the moment she entered the Ninth Prince's Mansion, her life had been planned. She had to do everything she could to gain the Ninth Prince's trust and do things for her master at critical moments, but she was useless and accomplished nothing.
Seeing her like this, Feng Qingchen was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and waved at the black shadow: "Take her away and give her a whole body."
"Yes." The black shadow didn't say much and dragged Xia Wan away. Xia Wan didn't struggle but just looked at the ground blankly.
Not torturing her is already a grace.
After Xia Wan was taken away, Feng Qingchen was no longer sleepy. He took off the so-called token from his neck and threw it to the ground. There was a snap and the "token" shattered.
How could Feng Qingchen casually hang a token around her neck that could mobilize the overt and covert forces of the Ninth Prince's Palace? She just showed it to the emperor on purpose during the day, but she didn't expect that the emperor would be fooled.
I wanted to take the opportunity to catch the emperor making a mistake, but I didn't expect the emperor to not make any big moves. However, it is also a good thing to dig out the things that the emperor buried in Feng Mansion.
If Xia Wan knew that the token she stole at the risk of being exposed was fake, I wonder if she would be so angry that she would come back to life.
The next day, Chunhui, Qiuhua and Dongqing came to confess their crimes. They knelt outside the door, looking like frost-bitten flutes, all wilted.
Tong Jue and Tong Yao walked in with water in their hands, looking silent. Apart from helping Feng Qingchen wash up, they didn't dare to say much or look around.
Although there was not much noise about what happened last night, they knew something about it. Xia Wan came to the girl's room in the middle of the night and then disappeared. They didn't believe it if she said nothing happened...
