“These next few days, we need to have someone constantly whisper in their ears suggestive phrases like ‘Only by finding their master behind the scenes can their suffering be relieved.’ Otherwise, in three days, they will just be mindless walking corpses who only know how to kill, and they won’t lead you to their master,” Ji Fengyao added weakly.
"Your Highness, I understand." Wu Shang was now completely impressed by Ji Fengyao's unpredictable methods.
He thought to himself that he would have to ask the princess for advice on interrogation techniques.
The idea of sealing people's souls and turning them into walking corpses sounds exciting. Wouldn't the enemy be terrified when they see them in the future?
"Miss, how are you?" Xi Que knelt down in front of Shang Xiye with great concern and held Ji Fengyao's hand.
"It's alright, I just need a rest," Ji Fengyao gently squeezed the magpie's hand.
Although this girl is careless and oblivious, she is extremely loyal and caring towards her.
"You're already so tired, how can you be alright?" Xi Que held Ji Fengyao's hands in both of his and said sincerely, "Miss, please teach me these amazing tricks for dealing with people. From now on, let me handle all the work of dealing with people. I'm thick-skinned and not afraid!"
“Okay, I’ll teach you everything when I have time,” Ji Fengyao agreed.
Xi Que stood up triumphantly and defiantly raised her chin at Wuhen behind Shang Xiye.
Once you teach me some magical skills, let's see if you're still so arrogant!
Wuhen silently lowered his eyes: He had to think of a way to ask the prince and princess for a favor and also take a bath in that medicinal bath.
Soon, news of the Ninth Princess's fainting from fright spread like wildfire throughout the Summer Palace.
The tragic situation in Ji Fengyao's small kitchen was described in vivid detail and became increasingly bizarre. Some even said that Ji Fengyao fainted because she had eaten those dishes.
Those who had grudges against Ji Fengyao or resented her for taking the position of Ninth Prince's consort felt both disgusted and pleased.
Princess Zhaoping served the Empress Dowager dinner and then carefully served her tea. She asked in a low and tactful voice, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Ninth Princess Consort is quite frightened and is bedridden. I would like to visit her tomorrow."
Having spent most of her life in the palace, the Empress Dowager could easily see through Princess Zhaoping's intentions.
Visiting the bandit was a pretense; he was probably just anxious to see the Ninth Prince after being cooped up all the way.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Aunt Sun beside her.
Aunt Sun immediately smiled and said, "Qingyuan is quite remote, why should the princess go to see her? Tomorrow morning, she will come to pay her respects to the Emperor, and then you will be able to see her."
"Ah?" Princess Zhaoping was surprised, but also very touched and delighted.
Even with the bandits in such a state, the Empress Dowager still hasn't lifted the rule of her waking up at dawn and dusk.
It seems the Empress Dowager truly loves you.
Thinking of this, Princess Zhaoping, who had no other relatives in the world, felt even more grateful to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, the tea is at the perfect temperature, please have some. I won't go tomorrow, I'll just wait here for the Ninth Princess Consort to come."
"Hmm," the Empress Dowager took the tea, took two sips, and handed it to Aunt Sun. She affectionately took Princess Zhaoping's hand and said, "Good child, you were raised by me. You are of noble status. In this world, apart from the Emperor and the Empress, you don't need to lower yourself to flatter or please anyone. Always remember your status and don't let anyone look down on you."
"And then there's Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the first person Zhaoping needs to respect, honor, and be close to in this world," Princess Zhaoping added sweetly, and the three of them laughed together.
