Chapter 183 (1/2)
The curtains of the medicine storage room were always closed because she had said that the medical herbs needed to kept out of the light. Of course, the most important reason was to allow her to enter her space whenever she needed. The people of Tong Sheng pavilion knew her habits. Once she entered the medicine storage room, nobody outside would disrupt her unless it was a matter of great urgency. Like this, Feng Yu Heng could maintain the secrecy of her matters.
In the operating room inside the space, there was a set of examination tools. She had been a medical officer in the military for many years. She had treated the living and autopsied the dead. Although she was not a forensic doctor, she was not ignorant in the ways of an autopsy.
The cat’s corpse was examined for roughly one hour. The body was put through various modern tests, which finally gave Feng Yu Heng a conclusion.
It was indeed the finger that caused the problem!
What surprised her was that the poison in Man Tou’s system was the exact same as what had been used on her.
She clenched her fist tightly, as she had been guessing at who had supplied Feng Chen Yu and Feng Zi Hao with the drug. Now that she had found out in such a matter. If it was Bu Ni Shang, it was very easy to understand. She had a reason and motivation to commit the crime. Adding on the death of Man Tou, Feng Yu Heng was already certain that Bu Ni Shang had placed the drug under her finger nail and entered the palace. If it were not for the accident, perhaps she would have taken action at the banquet.
She caressed Man Tou’s corpse. This little guy had protected her from an attack, but that cost it its life.
Bu Ni Shang, debts of blood must be repaid in blood. Who knew if she understood this concept.
Finally leaving the medicine storage room, Xuan Tian Hua was seated in the hall drinking tea when Feng Yu Heng handed him the wooden box and said: “Just bury it in the palace. Father Emperor will definitely also think this way.”
Xuan Tian Hua nodded and asked her: “Did you discover the reason?”
“There was a problem with Bu Ni Shang’s finger.” She repeated the results of her examination to Xuan Tian Hua.
Xuan Tian Hua frowned at what he heard, “If that is the case, then Bu Ni Shang also participated in the matter at Feng Tong county. Father Emperor will definitely investigate the death of this cat. But if you want to take action yourself, I can also help you out. But now is not the best time to completely exterminate the Bu family, as Bu Cong is still out.” He began to analyze the situation for Feng Yu Heng.
Feng Yu Heng understood this reasoning. She had an understanding of Bu Cong’s matters and knew that there was no chance the Emperor would ignore this large fish outside to take action against the Bu family. “I only want Bu Ni Shang.” She made a decision.
Xuan Tian Hua nodded, “Good, then take care of yourself. If you need anything, come find me at the Chun Palace.” He did not stay any longer. Picking up the wooden box, he left.
Feng Yu Heng followed him out and quickly asked: “Seventh brother, when will Xuan Tian Ming be able to return?”
He stopped walking and turned around to say: “That’s hard to say.”
“Oh.” She was a bit disappointed, “It’s fine. Seventh brother, you can go back now. Be careful on your way back.”
He gently responded with an indifferent look before turning to leave.
Feng Yu Heng tugged at Wang Chuan, “I feel that seventh brother’s mood has been odd today.”
Wang Chuan thought for a while then suddenly exclaimed, “How could I have forgotten about that matter.”
“What matter?” She was curious.
“The memorial for his Highness the seventh prince’s birth mother is in the Winter. This servant does not remember the exact day, but his Highness goes every Winter to pay respects to his birth mother.”
“No wonder.” She finally understood why Xuan Tian Hua appeared to be quite lonely today. Thinking about it, the memorial should have been in the recent days.
That night, Feng Yu Heng left the county office with Ban Zou and headed straight for the Bu family’s manor.
Ban Zou still hated that Feng Yu Heng did not know qi gong. Bringing her along meant that he had to slowly accompany her. She could clearly run, but she insisted on walking. It was truly awkward. “Master, if you truly are incapable of walking faster, I can also carry you.”
Feng Yu Heng grabbed Ban Zou’s arm and said to him: “Try running a bit like this.”
Ban Zou tried and found that it worked. His mood quickly improved.
With the aid of qi gong, their speed increased a great deal. When the two reached the alley leading to the Bu family, Ban Zou suddenly slowed down.
Feng Yu Heng did not ask him for a reason. She knew that Ban Zou would not stop for no reason. At this time, she also heard the sound of some movement.
The two found a corner to hide themselves then looked towards the street, however, they saw two girls hastily walking in their direction. They walked while looking around, clearly taking in their surroundings as though they were afraid of being discovered.
Feng Yu Heng had a large smile on her face because she saw that the two girls were Bu Ni Shang and her maidservant.
She tugged at Ban Zou: “Hey! Take a guess, what do you think Bu Ni Shang is doing leaving the manor in the middle of the night?”
Ban Zou shook his head, “How could I know.”
“My guess is she’s meeting her sweetheart.” Feng Yu Heng said while pointing towards Bu Ni Shang, “Look at the buttons on her collar. One is in the wrong place. She was clearly very rushed and a little nervous when buttoning it up. Going out and taking off her clothes in the middle of the night, if it isn’t to meet with a lover, then what else could it be.”
