I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

In fact, Wen Qingzhi was not clear about this question.

But, it is somewhat predictable.

She thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, if the little Xiang Fei is more at peace, the Emperor will not be unable to keep her child. After all, it is the Emperor's own child. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."

She wasn't sure if the saying "even a tiger won't eat its own cubs" applied here.

The imperial family is the most ruthless. Although she has never seen the conflict between father and son, she has heard of it.

Even if Xiao Xiangfei is a concubine of a vassal state, as long as she is willing to live a peaceful life, Feng Yunsu will not fail to keep her and the child.

Through these two contacts, Wen Qingzhi could understand why her child could not stay.

He is arrogant and looks down on others because of his favor. Since he can be connected with Feng Junxiao, he must have more than just connections with Feng Junxiao.

The concubine of a vassal state has connections with important officials of the Northern Ming Dynasty...

This was Mingzhe slapping Feng Yunsu in the face and embarrassing him, which was one thing. Threatening the Beiming state was another.

She thought, if it weren't for the fact that Beiming's national strength was not as strong as before, the continuous natural disasters would have left the treasury empty.

Feng Yunsu might directly kill the "tribute" Xiao Xiangfei.

Chang Yan nodded, agreeing with Wen Qingzhi's words, "Yes, I've heard that Little Xiang Fei is not a good person. This time, seeing her, it's just as the rumors say..."

"How many people in the palace are easy to get along with?"

"Too."

Chang Yan sighed, "In a place like this where people are eaten without leaving any bones, those who are easy to get along with have long been killed by others."

Seeing her worried look, Wen Qingzhi smiled and said to her, "So, it's true that good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years."

"It really is."

She murmured, and couldn't help but think of the Wang family...

Wen Qingzhi raised her eyes and saw that her expression was not right and there was a coldness in her eyes. She knew that she was thinking about the blood feud with the Wang family.

"Chang Yan."

Wen Qingzhi called out to her, "You are now Mr. Chang's last disciple. You should know clearly what you should and shouldn't do."

From the moment she stepped into the Marquis' Mansion, she was destined to have nothing to do with the Wang family.

Chang Yan nodded, "Don't worry, I understand."

Her feud with the Wang family will be settled sooner or later, but definitely not now.

She is very clear that she does not have the ability to bring down the Wang family now.

She won't act rashly unless she is absolutely sure.

"Two girls."

Lan'er, the maid who served them personally, came in with a smile, holding a basin in her hand and placed it in front of them.

"I made two snow rabbits. Let the two ladies see them!"

Lan Er was assigned to serve in the Imperial Household Department. Currently, she wasn't anyone's subordinate. However, she was meticulous in her work and was well-liked by Wen Qingzhi and the others.

In the snow basin, two little rabbits were squatting inside, with a piece of paper-dyed leaf in the corner of their mouths.

The ears were two small black stones. Lan Er said, "Since I couldn't find any red stones, I had to use black ones instead."

Lan'er has always been dexterous and usually embroiders some small things for the two of them, but no one expected that she could actually do these.

The little rabbit in the basket was placed on a plate for easy handling.

Chang Yan took it out, her eyes narrowed in admiration, "How cute, Lan'er, you have such a skillful hand!"

Wen Qingzhi also showed an expression of interest, which was rare. She brought it in front of her and looked it over.

"I never thought it could be made into a rabbit."

Lan Er was embarrassed. "As long as the two ladies like it, that's all fine. These are just some low-brow tricks I can use to cheer the two ladies up a bit."

She scratched her messy hair, and Wen Qingzhi noticed this action.

There are rules in the palace. Lan'er has been here for more than half a month and has always followed the rules.

Her hair was piled up messily beside her bun. Although she wore a flower in her hair to cover it up, it was not difficult to see if someone looked carefully.

Something must have happened to her.

"What's wrong with the corner of your eye?"

Wen Qingzhi noticed a subtle bruise at the corner of her eye and asked.

Lan Er's eyes flashed with panic, and she immediately raised her hands to cover the corners of her eyes, smiled, and said, "No, nothing."

"Are you trying to say you saw it wrong?"

Wen Qingzhi said calmly, "Could it be that my eyesight is not good?"

"This is not what I mean!"

Lan Er was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud, and prostrated herself beside Wen Qingzhi. "Miss Wen, please don't be angry. I didn't mean to say anything bad about you! Please calm down!"

At this moment, Chang Yan also noticed the bruises on Lan'er's face. Not only on her face, but when she bent down, the bruises on her neck were also exposed.

"Lan'er, if you don't want us to get angry, tell us the truth about your injuries!"

Lan'er huddled on the ground and suddenly sobbed, "Girls, please don't ask any more questions..."

She didn't want to say it, simply because it was difficult to say and she didn't dare to say it.

In the deep palace, countless hands are holding the names of Lan'er and other maids.

This is the palace, not the outside world. If the person who hurt Lan'er is really someone important and influential, someone they can't afford to offend, even if they know who it is, they can do nothing about it.

Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhi called Lan'er to get up.

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady."

Lan Er slowly got up, wiped the tears from her cheeks, and smiled, "Thank you both ladies for your understanding."

The villain couldn't help but frown, "Who on earth is it that makes you afraid to even speak?"

Chang Yan stood up and took her medicine box over. "Come sit here, I'll treat your wound."

"No, no, this is against the rules!"

Lan Er waved her hand to refuse, "This servant, this servant can take care of the wounds on my body. Thank you Miss Chang for taking care of it!"

"Come over here when I tell you to!"

Chang Yan couldn't help but get angry, "Why are there so many rules? Since you are here with me, my words are the rules!"

Faced with Chang Yan's anger, Lan'er looked at Wen Qingzhi cautiously, hoping that Wen Qingzhi would speak up and plead for her.

Wen Qingzhi acted as if she didn't hear anything, picked up her little snow rabbit and walked straight outside.

As they crossed the threshold, Chang Yan warned from inside the house, "Azhi, it's cold outside!"

"Ok, I know."

She went outside, feeling the slight pain of the cold wind on her face, and took a deep breath, breathing in and out.

Inside the house, Chang Yan saw that she couldn't persuade Wen Qingzhi, and shook her head in anger.

"You, sit still! Don't be like Ah Zhi and disobey!"

Lan Er was pressed on the stool by her. "Besides your cheek and neck, where else are you injured?"

Lan Er's body trembled, "No, no more..."

She nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, her eyes flickering as she looked around.

This move is obviously a lie and a deliberate concealment of something.

"Lan'er, I'm not the master of the palace. I'm just staying here temporarily. I'm a doctor. Healing and saving lives is my job."

"But if you don't tell me, how will I know what's wrong with you?"

As she spoke, she treated Lan'er's bruises. "There's no one around right now, so you can tell me."

"If I can help, I'll help you. If I can't, I won't help you."

Lan'er sat there properly, with her head lowered, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although she has been serving here for less than half a month, she has a special feeling for Wen Qingzhi and Chang Yan.

She knew that the two were good people, so she did her best to serve them.

But, but she really can't say it!
