Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

Xiao Fengyi also glanced at the road crossing in the distance, which was some distance from where she was standing.

The two of them continued walking forward, and as they walked, they heard people around them talking about the latest happenings in the capital.

"Do you know who exactly had the accident inside the Spring Breeze Pavilion?"

"It's the Vice Minister of the Privy Council, but he's a lazy bum who doesn't work every day. He just spends money like water here and fools around with that courtesan named Liu Xiangru. I heard he's recently taken a fancy to another girl, Gu Mingyi."

"This guy is really something else. He bought his position, so of course he doesn't cherish it. I wonder how many talented people would have wanted to be in his position to serve the country. This kind of incompetent fool deserves to die!"

After hearing these words, Xiao Fengyi felt that everyone disliked Lord Mu Zhi, as if the person who killed him had become a righteous person.

Feng Xingye, standing nearby, chuckled softly, "If it weren't for finding information about selling official positions, I'd also like to kill him."

"Even you say so, it seems Mu Zhi has no choice but to die." As Xiao Fengyi sighed, she heard the people next to her talking about something else, but this time it was about Feng Mingjing.

"His Highness the Seventh Prince truly cares about the scholars of the land. He has been submitting memorials to the Secretariat, demanding severe punishment for those behind the sale of official positions. He has gained the support of many scholars from humble backgrounds. Since he is so concerned about the people, perhaps His Highness the Seventh Prince will truly become the Crown Prince."

"The Eighth Prince is truly disappointing. I heard that he is the one behind the sale of official positions. He used to be an examiner who cherished talent, but I never expected him to be such a hypocrite."

"No one expected this. Fortunately, the emperor is a wise ruler and put him in confinement."

"What's most unexpected is His Highness Prince Zhao. He actually supports the Eighth Prince instead of the Seventh Prince. In our hearts, Prince Zhao is like a god. Why would he have such a moral flaw?"

Is it morally flawed to support Feng Mingyu but not Feng Mingjing?

After hearing this, Xiao Fengyi glanced at Feng Xingye's tense jawline and felt that these people were being unfair to him.

“His Highness Prince Zhao only returned to the capital three months ago, so it is understandable that he is not familiar with the internal affairs of the court.”

"It's like looking at flowers through the fog. Give Her Highness Prince Zhao some time. I believe she will see the good in the Seventh Prince and the evil in the Eighth Prince."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fengyi admired the imagination of these people.

Judging from all indications, Feng Xingye will probably never see the benefits of Feng Mingjing in his lifetime. As for Feng Mingyu's evil, she doesn't know if Feng Xingye will change his mind, but she herself will not.

Having spent two lifetimes together, Xiao Fengyi believed in Feng Mingyu's character.

Don't listen to their nonsense!

After Feng Xingye's voice came, he quickly led Xiao Fengyi out of the crowd and tried to get to the edge where no one was around.

When they reached a deserted place, Xiao Fengyi felt much more relaxed, and the pressure caused by tension on her body instantly disappeared.

Before long, they arrived at the place where Yueyi had stopped his carriage.

Yueyi raised her whip and said to the two men, "Master, Miss Xiao, you've finally arrived."

"Yueyi, take her back." After the man pushed Xiao Fengyi into the car, he did not get in himself.

Xiao Fengyi looked at him in confusion, while Yue Yi asked directly, "Master, why don't you get on the carriage?"

Feng Xingye said to the two of them, "I need to investigate the matter of the narcissus arrow, so it's inconvenient for me to take her with me. You should send her back to the Xiao residence."

After speaking, the man bought a fine black horse from the stall next to him and rode away.

Da da da--

After watching Feng Xingye ride away, Yue Yi got into the carriage and said to Xiao Fengyi behind her, "Miss Xiao, let me take you back."

"Guard Yueyi, then I'll have to trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Although Yueyi is usually aloof, she is actually a very warm-hearted person, and she speaks with a gentle smile like a spring breeze.

Xiao Fengyi smiled and sat back in the carriage.

As soon as she sat back down, she heard the other person say, "Miss Xiao, you'd better take off your mask quickly, I'm afraid someone might be following us."

"Oh, I'll tear it off right now." Xiao Fengyi then remembered that she was still wearing a mask.

Although you don't feel anything while wearing this mask, you're bound to be recognized, so it's best not to wear it.

After removing her mask, she hid it in the satchel she had brought from the Prince of Zhao's residence.

Not long after Yueyi drove off, she stopped for some unknown reason.

She heard someone outside remind her, "Miss Xiao, these are government officials. Please speak less and let me do the talking."

"I see."

After answering Yueyi in a low voice, Xiao Fengyi began to tidy her clothes, looking for any flaws.

After a short while, the carriage stopped, and Yueyi asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"

For some reason, Xiao Fengyi seemed to smell the aroma of wine. After a while, she realized that Yue Yi had opened her wine bag and given it to the officials.

The official laughed and said, "Your wine is quite good. Give me some."

"Of course, how could I possibly finish all this wine?" After Yueyi finished speaking, the sound of wine splashing could be heard.

After smelling the wine, Xiao Fengyi felt drunk and tears streamed down her face.

She hadn't shed many tears since her rebirth; this was the first time. Yueyi's wine was truly amazing.

As Xiao Fengyi wiped away her tears, the official asked Yueyi again, "Who was in the carriage after you?"

Yue Yi smiled and said, "The lady sitting inside is our young lady. I am the coachman, and I am here to take her home."

While listening inside, Xiao Fengyi was unsure whether she should reveal her identity.

The official indeed asked, "Which family's young lady is she?"

"It's Miss Liang, the daughter of the Duke of Liang. She was craving something sweet today, so she came to the East Market to buy some snacks. Who knew she would encounter such a terrifying thing? My young lady was so frightened that she sat in the carriage crying all the way, and she hasn't stopped yet," Yue Qi replied respectfully.

Duke of Liang?

When Xiao Fengyi heard this name, he was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Yue Yi had already planned how to deceive people. But why was it the Duke of Liang?

Could it be that Feng Xingye has a deep relationship with the young lady of the Liang State Duke's family? Is it possible that he would allow someone to use her name to make public appearances?

As Xiao Fengyi was lost in thought inside the carriage, the official outside seemed unconvinced and asked, "Why didn't I hear her sobbing?"

Xiao Fengyi originally wanted to fake a few tears to make a show, but in the end she gave up.

If the crying sounded too fake, it would raise suspicion, so I abandoned the idea.

The official seemed to be waiting for Xiao Fengyi to fake crying so he could test her.

She didn't cry, but the other person was at a loss and became suspicious.
