Fenghuang originally thought that since Yang Tingjing was here, it would not matter if he ate some drugged food, because he regretted that the girl would not be bold enough to poison them to death in person, so he simply ate a few mouthfuls. And the medicine powder is sprayed on the spoon after being dissolved in water, so it may not be evenly mixed into the rice, so this meager dose has no effect on Fenghuang. A man with a heart.
It was only now that Mr. Qi realized that the girl next to him was not simple, she could add medicine to his food without any trace, if Fenghuang hadn't reminded him, he might have been tricked long ago. This method involuntarily reminded him of the poisoning of the big guard before.
So, could the death of the great guard be related to remorse
Mr. Qi suddenly became suspicious. All along, he had never doubted this clever little maid, but now, he had to overturn his previous opinion and decided to let the guards investigate in private.
After Huixin retreated, he was restless all afternoon, so he hurried to the inn to tell Mr. Liu about it at dusk. Mr. Liu was also surprised when he heard about it, but he calmed down quickly, telling him not to act rashly.
Here with Princess Heqin, since Yang Tingfeng didn't respond for a long time, she couldn't hold back anymore, and sneaked into the Eight Princes' Mansion under the cover of night to find Yang Tingfeng to fulfill his promise.
Yang Tingfeng was about to take a rest, when he suddenly saw his princess appearing in the palace like a ghost, he was taken aback, but after all, it was in his own territory, so he took a deep breath and put on the posture of a prince: "May I ask the princess to come to the humble house at night, What are you doing? Could it be that you want to watch the moon with me?"
Princess Heqin thought that he was deliberately avoiding the subject again, and couldn't help feeling annoyed: "Hmph, you know why I came here, so don't play tricks on me here."
Yang Tingfeng suddenly realized and said: "This king is just joking with the princess, please don't take offense. This king has already arranged what the princess cares about. I will let the princess talk to you in detail later." Then he led Princess He to Zhou Wanyi's house.
Zhou Wanyi made a rare promise to help Yang Tingfeng this time, and said to the princess with a good temper: "Princess, please don't worry, everything is up to me, and I will arrange this for you tomorrow. I will ask Yang Tingjing to come over, but I still have to wait." I am sorry for you, pretending to be a maid in our mansion."
Princess Heqin was overjoyed when she heard about this matter, as long as she could establish a solid relationship with Yang Tingjing, she wouldn't care about this grievance, and immediately agreed.
In the early morning of the second day, Fenghuang and Yang Tingjing received invitations from the Eighth Prince's Mansion, saying that the peonies in the garden were in full bloom, and they were very beautiful, so they intentionally held a small banquet and invited the Seventh Prince and Princess to come to the mansion to enjoy them together.
Fenghuang found it very strange. He didn't know why Zhou Wanyi and Yang Tingfeng were so courteous all of a sudden. Besides, even small family banquets would usually be notified in advance, but the Eight Princes' Mansion only sent the post in the morning of the same day. Doubt told Yang Tingjing.
Yang Tingjing smiled nonchalantly and said, "Isn't my brother and sister-in-law doing such mindless things? Let's not be afraid of him, let's go and watch the excitement."
When Fenghuang thought about what happened before, he couldn't help laughing. After all, Zhou Wanyi could even open his mouth to ask her for a house, so it's not surprising that he usually does some messy things. Then according to Yang Tingjing's meaning, anyway, if there is nothing to do today, just go, just be more cautious, and let's see what kind of trouble they want to make.
So Fenghuang and Yang Tingjing packed their clothes and went to the Eight Princes' Mansion in a carriage. As soon as Zhou Wanyi heard the servant's report, she came out to greet her in a hurry, with a smile on her face, she held Fenghuang's hand and said this and that, never mentioning the previous grievances in the house, her soft and affectionate attitude was just like Fenghuang's. It's like her own sister. When Fenghuang saw her being coquettish and respectful, he secretly smiled, but on the surface he was also obedient and polite.
Yang Tingfeng also pulled Yang Tingjing to the front hall: "Since the seventh brother became the prince, the father has valued you more and more, so he has become more and more busy. We brothers usually don't see you. See, but I want to have a good drink." Yang Tingjing didn't say much, and followed him with a smile.
Zhou Wanyi pretended to gouged out Yang Tingfeng's eyes, and said angrily, "Just remember to drink! You still have to get Brother Seven involved." Then she turned around and smiled at Fenghuang: "That's what he looks like, he's no more gentle and steady than Brother Seven Hey, let them go, let's not miss today's business, let's go and see the green peony in the garden, I asked someone to transplant it a few months ago, I didn't expect it to bloom so soon flower."
Fenghuang also cooperated with her and pretended to be surprised: "Green peony? It's rare to see, and it's not easy to cultivate. My brother and sister are really Lan Xinhui, so they can come up with such an idea and find such a strange flower. Grass, I have a lucky eye today."
Zhou Wanyi smiled modestly and said: "Sister-in-law Seven is absurd. I have nothing to praise. After all, the gardeners in the mansion are good at their craftsmanship, and they specially took the soil from Luoyang and transported it to the garden to carefully cultivate this plant. Flowers are always guarded against the wind and rain. No, I just planted the flower bone a few days ago, and it bloomed this morning, so I took the liberty to send you and Seventh Brother a post, for fear of delaying the flowering period."
Fenghuang casually continued: "How could it be presumptuous? It should be me and the prince thanking my younger siblings and my eighth brother for their kindness."
While talking, they arrived at the garden. Fenghuang saw the peony in full bloom. It was indeed charming and elegant, and it lived up to the reputation of being a famous flower in the country. After a few compliments, he said that he was tired and went to the front hall to see Yang Tingjing and the others.
Zhou Wanyi responded: "I'm really tired after shopping for half a day, let's go back now. But just now I suddenly remembered that something was left in the bedroom, I wonder if Seventh Sister-in-law would accompany me to get it?" Fenghuang said accepted.
The two left the garden, walked through the winding corridors, and walked towards the North Hall where Zhou Wanyi lived.
When he got near Zhou Wanyi's room, Fenghuang stopped and said, "It's not good for me as a guest to go into the master's bedroom, so I'll just wait here for my younger siblings." Then he sat down on the wooden chair in the veranda.
After Zhou Wanyi heard this, it was exactly what she wished for, because Princess Heqin was waiting in her room in her maid's clothes, and if Fenghuang really wanted to follow her in, he had to find a reason to distract her.
At this time, although she was happy in her heart, she still pretended to be gentle and courteous: "Sister-in-law Qi's words are too outrageous. But I can't remember where I left that thing for a while, and I'm afraid it will take some time to find it." For some time, I have to wrong Seventh Sister-in-law to wait here for a while."
Fenghuang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, brothers and sisters please go ahead, I just have a rest."
