zChapter 1057 - Spying The Truth (1/2)

Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s question amused Feng Yuheng, it tickled her so much that she could not even sit up straight, angering Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui such that she slammed the table and spoke angrily: “Impetuous! You are only a Prince’s wife, yet you dare to act so wantonly in front of This One?”

When Feng Yuheng finally stopped laughing, she asked Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui a question in return: “So what if I am acting wantonly? Your Highness Imperial Concubine Gui, is there still a need to be so secretive between the two of us? We have already clashed a few times, have you won before?”

“This One has won now!” Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was very proud of this, “Da Shun still has a ruler, and would not overlook an insignificant girl like you doing anything you want. In the past, you had the Ninth Prince as your back and This One was not your match and was forced to retreat many times. But it is different now, This One is an Imperial Concubine Gui, the apple of the Emperor’s eye, Feng Yuheng, you no longer have the right to clash with This One, because, as long as This One says something, the Emperor can immediately order your execution.”

“Is that so?” Feng Yuheng covered her mouth and laughed again, “Then do you believe, if I die, you or the Eighth Prince, neither of you will continue living. Moreover, I will not die, don’t worry, I will live longer than all of you.”

“Feng Yuheng!” Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was so angry that she turned green, “Who gave you the courage to act so brazenly?”

“I gave it to myself.” She told Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui seriously: “A thing like courage should not be from borrowing the power of others, but grown by oneself, it was won by one’s own efforts. Today, I dared to sit here and talk with you just like this, and I am confident I can leave this palace safely. If you do not believe me, you can try it, just like how you tested me using a bowl of tea which contained Gu poison, you can try how you will fare against me.”

She clearly pointed out the situation with one sentence, causing Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s expression to change suddenly, and she even stuttered: “What, what, what did you, say?”

“Did Your Highness not understand what I said? I said, do not think that many things are undetectable. In reality, the people who should know already have a rough idea. Also, that question you asked me just now, was the Eighth Prince’s illness caused by me? Then let me ask you, were you the one to implant the Gu in Father Emperor? Would you admit it? If you won’t admit, then there is no need to speak to me with such an immature question, what does Your Highness think?”

Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui did not with to talk to Feng Yuheng anymore, she did not even want to take another look at Feng Yuheng. Right now, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s complexion was a little pale and her heart was in a panic, she wanted to chase Feng Yuheng away quickly, she needed to discuss with the Gu Master about this. If things continued like this, it would be bad! Moreover, Feng Yuheng was alright after drinking the tea? She was not afraid of Gu? Also, how did she know about Gu?”

Countless questions swirled around in Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s mind, she quickly dismissed Feng Yuheng and even shouted: “This One does not want your diagnosis and treatment, even if This One cannot conceive, This One does not want your examination. Leave, leave quickly!”

Feng Yuheng stood up unhurriedly and “drank” the remaining half bowl of tea in front of Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui. This was when she left Cun Shan Palace under the shocked gaze of the other party. It was just that before leaving, she happened to see the other party’s eyes glance inside the bedroom.

There was something fishy in the bedroom, at this moment, Feng Yuheng firmly believed this.

Leaving Cun Shan Palace, she brought Wang Chuan and walked briskly, then stopped in a quiet side path, she told Wang Chuan: “Go ahead first, if someone asks why you came out alone when you’re leaving the palace, tell them that I went to Winter Moon Palace to give Imperial Concubine Yun my greetings for the New Year.”

Once Wang Chuan heard her say this, she became tense, “Young Miss, are you going to act alone? You’re going to continue staying in the palace?”

“Yeah.” Feng Yuheng nodded, and reassured as the same time: “Don’t be anxious, it will be fine, this is not the first time I have entered the imperial palace alone, Xuan Tianming is not worried, what are you worried about? For this rundown place, though it is not considered walking on flat ground, it is similar. Either way, leave the palace first and don’t ask any more. The matter I have to handle is urgent and I do not have the leeway to explain to you in detail. Return quickly! I will be able to return to the palace by noon at the latest.”

Wang Chuan could never beat Feng Yuheng in stubbornness. Thinking about it, Feng Yuheng did frequently enter the palace on her own already, so she was a little more reassured. After giving some more advice, she had no other choice but to leave first.

When Wang Chuan was far away, Feng Yuheng surveyed her surroundings and when she confirmed that there was no one around, she immediately entered her Space.

The tea she stolen from Cun Shan Palace was still on the counter in her Space, but she did not have the leisure to research that. Making use of the convenience of moving around using her Space, she returned to the main hall of Cun Shan Palace.

This time, her goal was Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s bedroom. She had checked it in the past but did not find anything. It was different this time, she already saw panic in Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s anxious and worried gaze, and that panic appeared to require something or someone in the bedroom to ease it. At this hour, the Emperor was not around, she believed that as long as she returned alone, she could definitely find out what was suspicious in Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s bedroom.

Harbouring such feelings, Feng Yuheng revisited the location, and just as she appeared in the bedroom, she heard the faint sound of a heavy object being moved in a corner. She turned in the direction of the sound and was little slow, seeing only a corner, there seemed to be a wall that moved which closed quickly. The bedroom instantly became quiet, if not for the fact that she was confident in her instincts and her reaction speed, she would have thought that the sound just now was an illusion and would have thought the same for the moving wall.

But Feng Yuheng did not think that way, in that instant, she could confirm that what she wanted to find, what secrets she wanted to see, would be behind that wall. As long as she walked in, she could unravel all the mysteries.
