“How infuriating! What was that about her being the nation’s first female genius? I think she’s more like the nation’s top female hypocrite! She just spouts lies like that—and she’s not even embarrassed.”

“You’re right. Her perfect image is all a sham.”

“Haha! You have got to take a look at this. See how bouncy her butt is! She’ll be really good in bed.”

“Speaking of which, when I think about her hypocritical words, it’s as ridiculous as a prostitute wearing a chastity belt. So shameless!”

“…”

The crowd outside started discussing Feng Xiupei’s figure and all the hypocritical things she had said earlier. Her pretty, gentle, and kind image was slowly going down the drain.

To them, she was no longer perfect.

Feng Tianlan glanced over and noticed that someone had left the crowd. She frowned. Since there was no need for her to stay, she quickly followed him.

Once she was out of the court, she scanned the streets and saw a shadow go by. She swiftly moved in the same direction.

She followed the man until she reached a small alley, where she saw two men—one with his back facing her, and another facing her with his head lowered. The two seemed to be discussing something.

The moment she walked in front of them, they suddenly became alert. But when they turned and saw her, they quickly kneeled and said, “Your Highness.”

“You are the ones helping me?” Feng Tianlan frowned slightly. Earlier in court, she had already noticed that the crowd’s opinion of her had started to change. Upon closer observation, she’d realized someone was manipulating the crowd’s opinion.

Someone was helping her, after all. It made her think of the three men who were killed—these two must have been responsible for that as well.

“We only act on orders given. Don’t worry, Your Highness, we have not been given any orders to follow or watch you,” the one who had been facing her earlier quickly explained, afraid that she had misunderstood.

Feng Tianlan frowned a little. “Your Highness?”

It was true that they hadn’t tailed her. If they had, she would have discovered them by now.

But what was this form of address…
