It feels so good to sleep until you wake up naturally.
Wen Qingzhi had been awake for about half an hour. She curled up in the quilt, reading the Poison Scripture that Chang Lao left for her, enjoying the peaceful time.
'Kou Kou'
There was a knock on the door. "Miss Wen, are you awake?"
"Come in."
Wen Qingzhi said as she sat up and put on her coat.
The old nanny came in with a kind smile on her face. "Miss Wen, the emperor sent someone to bring you some things. They have been waiting for a long time. Would you like to go out and take a look first?"
"emperor?"
Wen Qingzhi was slightly displeased, "Okay."
Feng Junsu came here to deliver something to me, so I guess he already knew the situation in the Marquis' Mansion. Since he sent something here, I should go and express my gratitude.
It looks like I'm going to be tortured again.
When she came out dressed, she saw three boxes neatly arranged in the yard. The boxes were open, and inside were all kinds of jewelry and clothes, which were priceless.
"Miss Wen, this is Eunuch Li, here to give you a reward."
The nanny introduced a smiling and friendly young eunuch to Wen Qingzhi. He came forward and saluted Wen Qingzhi, "This servant greets Miss Wen."
"No need to be so polite, sir."
Wen Qingzhi's tone was quite polite, "I don't know..."
She pointed to the valuable boxes. "What does this mean?"
Eunuch Li said, "This is a gift from the Emperor. He said that the young lady has been through hardship over the years and that the mansion is empty. He specifically asked me to bring some gifts to the young lady and also told me to convey a message to her."
"The Emperor said that if the girl has nowhere else to go, she can enter the palace."
Wen Qingzhi's eyes fell on the boxes, and she fell into deep thought as she looked at the things inside.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I appreciate it."
Finally, she said, "The Regent is seriously ill, the result of his hard work for Bei Ming. I am a doctor, and a member of Bei Ming, so it is my natural obligation to heal the Regent."
"Your Majesty's kindness is deeply appreciated. The Marquis's Mansion is indeed facing financial hardship... Therefore, I will accept the gift."
The order to leave had been issued, and she winked at the old nanny.
The old nanny understood instantly and walked up to Eunuch Li with a smile to see the guest off.
Eunuch Li looked at Wen Qingzhi blankly, clearly dissatisfied with her answer. It looked like he was here on Feng Yunsu's orders, and he wouldn't leave until there was a result.
But he couldn't afford to offend the old lady in front of him. After thinking about it, he could only force a smile and leave.
This Nanny Sun was the wet nurse of the brothers Feng Yunsu and Feng Yunxiao. A wet nurse is as kind as a real mother, so Feng Yunsu would not vent his anger on her.
Nanny Sun usually lives in the West Palace with their mother. This time, she came out at the invitation of Feng Junxiao, specifically to take care of Wen Qingzhi.
There was no one in his house who was reliable and well-behaved, and Nanny Sun was the perfect candidate. With her around, even if Feng Junsu came, she would have to give him some face and not do anything to Wen Qingzhi.
After the people left, Feng Yunxiao appeared from nowhere, looked at the things in front of him, and said, "You are quite generous."
"Take it, I don't need any of this."
Wen Qingzhi waved her hand as if she had seen a fly. "Even if it is for your future plans, I can make a contribution. I also hope that when the plan is accomplished, Your Highness will not forget the contribution I have made."
She was about to leave after she finished speaking, but Feng Junxiao pulled her back, pinching her chin without exerting any force.
He frowned and smiled: "You are so brave to say that, aren't you afraid——"
"What are you afraid of?"
Wen Qingzhi easily escaped from his control and turned to look at those things. "They say the treasury is empty, but this simple reward is like countless treasures..."
She walked forward, picked up a string of snow-white pearls with disdain, and stroked it carefully. "I don't understand this thing, but... it's a gift from the emperor, so it should be of good quality. Tell me, how much silver can this string sell for, and how much food can it exchange for?"
While she was speaking, Feng Yunxiao had already come to her side, his eyes scanning over these things. "They are not rare treasures, but they are a bit higher than the ordinary ones. It seems that the emperor also values you."
"value?"
She casually threw the necklace back, and it landed on top of the other jewelry with a 'crack'. "Have you ever seen anyone treat someone so well that they send them in such a messy state?"
The jewellery in the box was placed in a messy manner, not looking carefully placed at all, as if someone had just grabbed a few handfuls from the warehouse and brought them here.
"dislike?"
"No, I just don't care about these things."
She doesn't care about these material possessions at all.
"If you like it, take it."
"What do I need these for?"
Feng Junxiao also looked down on it. The things in his warehouse were many times better than those here.
"Exchange for food and fodder."
"..."
Feng Junxiao looked at Wen Qingzhi in surprise and followed her footsteps, "You really dare to say anything!"
What's wrong with this person!?
Why do you think about rebelling every day?
"There's no outsider here."
“There will also be eyeliner.”
"What does that matter?"
She chuckled softly, and her curved eyebrows seemed to say that she did it on purpose.
"Anyway, no matter what you say, in the eyes of some people, you will eventually go down that path. I said this, even if he knew, it wouldn't matter."
She now looks like a witch in troubled times, who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
"Are you trying to force me to rebel?"
"No, please don't misunderstand me, Your Majesty."
She waved her hand and said, "For things like this, you can only rely on yourself."
Wen Qingzhi approached Feng Yunxiao, stopped one step away from him, and whispered, "I just want to help the prince, and help myself at the same time."
Bei Ming is now like an old tiger, with a ferocious appearance but actually extremely weak.
If it weren't for Feng Yunxiao, the man-eating leopard, the tiger would have been eaten up by the surrounding hunters long ago.
Similarly, Feng Junxiao also knew it in his heart.
However, even someone as ruthless as him still yearned for family affection. He didn't know when the estrangement between him and Feng Yunsu began, and how it gradually developed into what it is today...
Was it at that time, regarding the Wen family incident, that he vowed to find out the truth?
Or, a few years ago, when the Queen's mother's family abducted a commoner girl and was executed on the spot...
Or was it because he fought outside year after year, made countless contributions to maintaining the prosperity of Beiming, and was loved by his subjects?
Over the years, he had never considered competing with Feng Yunsu. If he had truly considered this, Feng Yunsu would not have been the one to sit on the throne.
"Why, are you thinking about how to usurp the throne?"
She lowered her voice, moved closer to him and asked with amusement.
Wen Qingzhi suddenly leaned over, and Feng Junxiao came back to his senses. When he turned his head, his chin rubbed against her hair.
A faint scent of osmanthus came towards him, and Feng Junxiao's body stiffened slightly.
The two have known each other for a long time, and this is the first time they are so close.
He didn't say anything, but listened quietly to Wen Qingzhi's story. "If you really want to, I can help you."
Before going to sleep last night, she also calculated the current military strength of Beiming. Feng Junxiao controls most of Beiming's elite soldiers and generals.
Everyone says that the Regent has no cowards under his command.
As for the others, the Yuan family had the most soldiers. At the moment, it looked like the Yuan family was still loyal to Feng Yunsu, and it was likely that the Yuan family had been involved in many of the assassination attempts on Feng Yunxiao.
Just because Feng Yunxiao didn't take action offline didn't mean he hadn't figured out who was involved. It was simply that the Beiming region had suffered so much damage over the years, and he didn't want to cause further unrest and make the people suffer.
"it is good."
Feng Junxiao looked at her with a hint of doting and agreed to her request.
As the two were talking, Nanny Sun came back from outside and saw this scene.
She couldn't help but stop and stood in the distance watching the two of them. The corners of her mouth gradually rose, and her eyes looking at Wen Qingzhi gradually showed a hint of kindness.
Rumor has it in the capital that the Wen family girl turned a disaster into a blessing. After she was no longer stupid, the gods blessed her with medical skills, but she had a violent temper.
It was said that she killed all the servants in the mansion overnight and was cruel and ruthless.
But now that I see it, it seems that the rumors are not credible.
Over the years, she has watched Feng Junxiao grow up, and has never seen any girl get so close to him.
The joy in Wen Qingzhi's eyes was not fake, and the cherishment in Feng Yunxiao's eyes was not false.
They are all expressed naturally, making people feel happy.
She watched from a distance, not knowing what the two were talking about, but they both laughed at the same time.
Nanny Sun couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Alas... I can't count how many years it has been since the prince smiled so sincerely.
Looking at the current situation, Nanny Sun naturally had an idea in mind.
Both of them were raised on her milk, just like her own children. How could she not feel heartbroken when things have come to this point?
Although the palms and backs of the hands are made of flesh, flesh also has thickness, right?
Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the Regent.
She sighed softly and was noticed by Feng Junxiao.
"Madam."
Feng Junxiao rarely showed a childish smile on his face. He ignored etiquette and pulled Wen Qingzhi's hand forward.
"Madam," he lifted Wen Qingzhi's hand and pushed her in front of Nanny Sun, "This is the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo, Wen Qingzhi, Miss Wen."
The sudden recommendation, coupled with the tightly held hand, made Wen Qingzhi panic for a moment, and her cheeks became hot.
She pulled a few times, but couldn't pull her hand back, so she whispered, "What are you doing..."
