Descending Phoenix- To be Emperor - C312

Hearing that it was a white mouse that was trying to catch a mouse, Zhuang Duxing could not help but laugh in shock. “What kind of medicine is Lady Lian Yi trying to sell?”

Feng Ningyan smiled slightly, taking out the thing in his hand, he placed it on the table: “Of course it’s rat poison.”

After that, she asked for something ordinary like an oil lamp, a porcelain bowl, clean well water, a razor blade, etc.

Zhuang Duxing then understood what she wanted the white mouse for. She smiled and quickly brought people to find the white mouse.

It was at this time that Yu Su came to find Zhuang Duxing. Hearing that Zhuang Duxing had been ordered by a lady of the imperial concubine to capture a white mouse, Yu Su was both curious and amused.

He strode into the torture chamber and saw Feng Ningyan intently baking a porcelain bowl with an oil lamp. Inside the bowl was the piece of porcelain that she picked up from the Qianyuan Palace.

Shen Yusu carefully walked to the back of her body, and gently called out: “Aunt Wang.”

Even though he spoke so softly, Feng Ningyan was still shocked.

She covered her heart and turned around, only to see Shen Yusu smiling at the things she was playing with.

“Yu Su? “How do you know …”

Shen Yusu puffed his chest up proudly: “Brother Wang told me to take care of Aunt Wang and told me. It’s such a big thing, why didn’t you see Sister Wang come to call for Yu Su to help?! ”

Seeing that he already knew everything, Feng Ningyan smiled, and said softly: “I do not wish for a duke like you to interfere with the harem matters, not to mention that it involves Shen Youhuang’s case. You and him are already enemies, and before His Highness King Yu returns, I do not want you to be framed by Shen Youhuang again because of your position. ”

Only then did Shen Yusu know that Feng Ningyan understood him so well, and felt that if he did not help her, wouldn’t he be letting down on her kindness?

“I am not afraid of him. Sister Wang said that evil cannot be righteous, I, Shen Yusu have done the right thing, and I am not afraid of conspiracy.”

Feng Ningyan shook his head, and laughed a little helplessly: “Evil is the truth, but there is still time for the sun to set, it is like a pitch black night in the imperial court, you cannot not be careful.”

“Yes, Yu Su will remember your sister-in-law’s words.”

Seeing that Feng Ningyan was still worried about him, Shen Yusu did not have the heart to worry for his wife.

The two of them carefully distilled the remaining tea stains from the porcelain piece and soaked two peanuts in it. When the peanuts were completely soaked, Zhuang Duxing walked in with a mouse cage in his hands.

It was not hard to find a mouse, but a white mouse was a little difficult to find. Zhuang Duxing spent a lot of effort to catch two grey mice in the cell of Inspection Department that had the worst environment there.

He found it hard to believe, “Miss Lian Yi, we can’t find the white mouse, it’s just the grey mouse.”

Seeing his serious face, Feng Ningyan could not help but burst out laughing, “Don’t worry, it’s fine even for a grey mouse.”

“Oh?” Zhuang Duxing coughed dryly, “Then why did young lady specifically ask for the white mouse for a moment just now?”

“It’s white, so pretty.”

“Just because of this?”

Feng Ningyan unwittingly replied, causing him to smile bitterly, sweating profusely as he stood by the side watching her fiddle with the rats.

She put the two peanuts in the cage and closed the door.

The mouse looked at it with shifty eyes, but refused to come forward to eat it.

Yu Su slapped her head. “That’s right. Mice like to eat secretly. We’re all here watching. How can it have any appetite?”

Feng Ningyan laughed: “Alright, go out and take a breather.”

The three of them walked out of the torture chamber. After a while, they came back to find that the peanut in the plate had been eaten by the rats, who were still crawling around in their cages, trying to find a way out.

Feng Ningyan looked at the time and saw that it was already late. He knew that when the imperial concubine needed to serve the emperor lunch at Qianyuan Palace, it would be impossible for her to not have people by her side when she was busy.

She then said to Zhuang Duxing: “Master Zhuang, it’s almost time for lunch. I have to return to my Qianyuan Palace to take care of it, I’ll leave this rat to you.”

Shen Yusu added: “If the tea stains in this porcelain plate truly contain a plague, it will erupt in around two hours. Master Zhuang, please carefully record the changes of this rat’s condition.”

Although Zhuang Duxing was an expert in criminal cases, he had never dealt with mice before. However, he knew that Feng Ningyan was currently experimenting with mice, and the result was the truth behind the Emperor’s sudden plague.

He said solemnly: “Please rest assured, His Highness King Xuan and Lady Lian Yi.”

Of course, Feng Ningyan was relieved, and without further ado, he left with Shen Yusu.

Because Feng Ningyan was currently a palace maid, it would be inconvenient for her to travel with the prince. After leaving through the Inspection Department, she could only follow behind Shen Yusu, walking side by side with his close eunuch.

Shen Yusu turned back time and time again, only feeling that it was disrespectful to be walking in front of his sister-in-law. However, the eunuchs had misunderstood him, and hurriedly made an excuse to return to the palace to pass along lunch for the prince, then he took a few steps forward and let Shen Yusu and Feng Ningyan leave together.

At this time, Shen Yusu hurriedly came back and walked side by side with Feng Ningyan.

Even though he was separated by a few steps, his heart was much more at ease as he looked at Feng Ningyan with the side of his eyes.

Seeing her unfamiliar face, Yu Su didn’t feel any difference. That was because the heroic aura she exuded was definitely the same.

Ever since their first meeting, when she had been sword dancing on top of an ancient tree, he had been completely impressed by her extraordinary temperament. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to run out on top of her, grabbed a drumstick, and started beating the drum for her.

When he thought of the beauty of their first meeting, Yu Su suddenly realized that his excitement at that time was called the beginning of love …

Unfortunately, this sort of thing would always happen sooner or later. If he was born a few years earlier, then he would understand the relationship between a man and a woman and definitely wouldn’t have missed it.

But now, the only woman in the world who could make his heart beat like thunder was his wife. She was the only person in his life besides his elders and elder brothers that was worthy of his respect.

Feng Ningyan lowered his head and walked over, but felt that Yu Su’s gaze was still on him, and he turned his head to look at her, meeting her slightly melancholy gaze.

She did not know what this child was doing, “His Highness King Xuan?”

Yu Su snapped out of her daze after being yelled at. Her face turned red all the way down to her neck. Raising his head, he saw that they had arrived at the entrance of the inner palace.

He felt that this section of the road was too short.

“Then… Big Sister Lian Yi, we are at the Inner Palace, this king will not send you off. ”

Feng Ningyan followed etiquette, bowed and said his goodbyes. When he turned around, Yu Su looked at her unfamiliar yet familiar back, and thought back to when she was meditating while fiddling with the distilleries, and couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

At this time, Zhuang Duxing was holding a brush and sitting in front of the rat’s cage, quietly watching. After half a cup of tea’s worth of time, he recorded everything down.

Seeing the mouse’s transformation, the pen in Zhuang Duxing’s hand trembled slightly.
