Demon Doctor Wild Concubine

  Jing Xuan's words were met with no response from Feng Qingchen, who instead said: "If you're really that free, can you go and investigate for me whether this person is her or not? I'm also curious to know."

  Upon hearing this, Jing Xuan repeatedly denied it, "If even the great King Rui can't find out who is behind the scenes, how could I possibly find out?" With one sentence, he completely cleared himself.

  However, he didn't stop there. His lips curled up slightly as he continued to speak with relish: "But I also heard something interesting. Dust, do you want to hear it?"

  "No time." He said, two simple words, full of refusal, then sat up straight, holding his brush to continue reviewing the memorials, no longer paying attention to Jingxuan.

  Jing Xuan asked undaunted: "Really don't want to listen?"

  Feng Qingchen didn't respond, as if she hadn't heard him. Seeing this, Jing Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, "If you're not going to listen, then I'll just leave, go back and drink some wine, and flirt with the beauties."

  As he said this, he couldn't help but exaggerate his smile, and a hint of mischief appeared on his enchanting face.

  Jing Xuan said as he stood up and walked towards the door with his long legs.

  Feng Qingchen didn't think much of it, or perhaps he knew that even if Jing Xuan spoke, he would know what kind of interesting things he was referring to. Therefore, he continued to lower his head and review the memorials. Perhaps the problems mentioned in the memorial were a bit troublesome, so his sword-like eyebrows rose high.

  Jing Xuan seemed to know that he really didn't have time, so this wasn't just an empty phrase. However, as he walked to the door and his hand hadn't even touched the door panel yet, he turned back around. Although there was still a hint of arrogance on his face, his words were much more serious. He said: "Chen, sometimes it's not always about being strong to achieve the desired result. Sometimes gentle policies are also effective."

  Suddenly, the tone changed, and with a sly smile, "Remember, even the strongest woman needs to be pampered and loved. When she falls in love with you, you are the winner among them. At that time, it's your turn to do as you please, and if you want to make her fall into hell, it's just a matter of saying so. So, love can sometimes be a very powerful weapon. This is my personal experience, don't spread it around."

  Finally, he said a word with a gloomy air, and without waiting for Feng Qingchen to respond, he turned around and pulled open the door, leaving the study.

  Until the door creaked shut, Feng Qingchen stopped her movements and looked at the tightly closed door, slightly furrowing her brow as if pondering the words Jing Xuan had just spoken.

  Jing Xuan's words, however, were all too obvious. The interesting thing he mentioned earlier was definitely referring to Shen Yunxi comparing him to a dog in front of the Wang Manor gate. He said that this topic might have been meant to mock him, but more likely it was just an excuse for what followed.

  He wanted to tell her that if she continued to confront Shen Yunxi head-on, the revenge would only backfire. It's better to lure her in with gentleness, and once she falls into his trap, she'll be like an ant in his hands, subject to his mercy!

  Outside the window, the sunset slowly sets, hiding behind the evening glow, only peeking out a small head, secretly gazing at the world that is about to enter the night.

  Feng Qingchen tilted her head and gazed out of the window at that vibrant red hue. Perhaps Jing Xuan's words were not wrong after all.

  Tonight, he should probably go and do something.

  But who is Jing Xuan? He is the eldest son of the Jing family, whose mother is the emperor's aunt, Princess Changping. In other words, he and Feng Qingchen are also cousins. By nature, he is a free-spirited person, most annoyed by court affairs, so although the emperor intends to give him an official position, he has no interest in it and spends his days wandering outside, carefree.

  Shen Yunxi and Qiao Yu searched the Wang Fu for a long time but didn't find any important clues, as the sun set in the west, they had to return to Suishou Xuan.

  The late summer breeze carried a hint of coolness, as if it was going to blow away the dangerous and oppressive atmosphere in the mansion across thousands of mountains and rivers.

  The pale yellow leaves fell from the trees, and at night when no one swept them away, they formed a thick layer on the ground. When stepped on, they made a rustling sound, like playing a sad and desolate melody.

  Shen Yunxi and the other person hadn't returned to Su Yu Xuan yet when they saw Shuang Er running towards them from a distance.

  As soon as she arrived in front of them, Shuang'er panted and said: "Miss, just now a maid came to Suizhu Xuan, she said she had something to tell you, related to Ning Meng's death."

  Shen Yunxi and Qiao Yu exchanged a glance before hurrying towards Suishou Xuan with Shuang'er.

  In the hall, a pretty maid stood there, making a gesture to bow to Shen Yunxi who was already seated in his seat, but was stopped by Shen Yunxi.

  "There's no need for these empty pleasantries now, let's get down to business." Shen Yunxi waved his hand at her and said, "Just tell me everything you know."

  "Yes, Your Highness." The maid then slowly spoke: "It was the day before Ning Meng returned home. When I passed by the outside of Ying Yue Pavilion, I saw Jing Xian Miss scolding Ning Meng. Out of curiosity, I quietly hid aside and from their conversation, I knew that originally Jing Xian Miss suspected Ning Meng of stealing her jade hairpin and one hundred taels of silver notes. Ning Meng naturally did not admit to it. Jing Xian was furious, kicked Ning Meng once and then left. But before she left, she said a very strange sentence."

  At this point, Shen Yunxi furrowed her brow suspiciously, "What words?"

  "Miss Jingxian said: I won't let it go like this. I don't know if Miss Jingxian has anything to do with Ning Meng's death, but thinking about this scene, I think it's necessary for the princess to know, so I hurried over."

  Shen Yunxi listened and nodded in satisfaction, "Your idea is good. However, did you know that after Ning Meng returned, Miss Jingxian had found her?"

  That girl shook her head and said, "This slave doesn't know."

  Shen Yunxi pursed her lips and said, "You go down first. If there's anything unclear later on, I'll find you again."

  That girl responded and then bowed her body and left the Shu Yu Xuan.

  Shen Yunxi lowered her head, looking somewhat exhausted, and rubbed her brow. After a while, she stood up and said to Shuang'er, "I'll go back to my room first. Please have the meal sent to my room later."

  "Got it, miss."

  Shen Yunxi returned to her room, sipping tea while flipping through the report she had recorded that morning.

  Before long, Shuang'er knocked on the door and walked in with a tray of food.

  "Miss, you've been busy outside all day, is the wound on your shoulder okay?" Shuang'er asked with concern as she put the dishes on the table.

  Shen Yunxi glanced at his left shoulder, put down the report and said, "It's okay, nothing serious."

  Shuang'er nodded and said: "Later on, you must remember to take your medicine, don't delay the healing of your wound."

  Shen Yunxi raised her eyes to look at her, didn't say much, just smiled, but the smile was very bright.

  Then, pick up your chopsticks and start eating.

  "Miss, I have something to ask you?" Shuang'er sat upright at the table, waiting until Shen Yunxi put down her chopsticks before speaking to her.

  Shen Yunxi looked at her and nodded, "Go ahead and ask."

  Shuang'er said: "I wanted to ask you about this in the afternoon, but you left in a hurry and I couldn't ask. Is today's rumor about Prince Wang related to Miss?"
