Chapter 33 Xue Chenxi

Chapter 33 Xue Chenxi

Qingyun Palace.

The usually quiet residence was bustling today. Feng Muqing, sipping on bitter traditional medicine, had a hint of suppressed irritation in her eyes. The male attendant behind her offered some candied fruit to soothe her throat.

Xue Chenxi, the daughter of Minister Xue, lazily leaned back in her seat, with a male attendant fanning her. She crossed her legs and, with a hint of mockery, informed Feng Muxing about Feng Xiran's situation.

"It seems the Crown Princess is well-prepared this time. Chenxi, you should also prepare yourself early. After all, the situation there..." Feng Muqing trailed off, and Xue Chenxi immediately understood.

"Ling Shuang, what about you?"

Ling Shuang held a low opinion of both Feng Xiran and Xue Chenxi, viewing them as equally contemptible. She glared at Xue Chenxi and then turned her attention to Feng Muxing: "Cousin, don't worry. This time, I'll definitely find a way to make a contribution to avoid having Feng Xiran steal the credit. Although the Emperor hasn't officially rewarded her, his attitude is markedly different from before. You should take care of your health. This country needs someone like you. Feng Xiran is as unchangeable as a dog that can't stop eating dung; sooner or later, I will catch her in the act."

Ling Shuang then turned to Zhao Mengxuan, who was fiddling with some fruit, and scowled: "I'm not in the capital; make sure you look after my cousin. If you slack off, I'll make sure to punish you when I return. Also, don't skip classes anymore."

"Ling Shuang, you!" Zhao Mengxuan, being directly scolded, was so enraged she pointed at Ling Shuang. It was only when Feng Muqing spoke up that she held back. Ling Shuang used the excuse of packing her things to say her goodbyes and return to her residence.

After Ling Shuang left, Zhao Mengxuan muttered with dissatisfaction: "What's so great about her? Princess, you're too lenient with her."

Seeing Feng Muqing's pale complexion and constant coughing, Xue Chenxi quickly signaled Zhao Mengxuan to stop talking, and the two prepared to leave.

"Chenxi, be careful this time. Also, postpone the assassination plan. Although Ling Shuang dislikes Feng Xiran, if she discovers this plot, she won't let it go easily. Moreover, don't underestimate Jing Sa's people," Feng Muqing said quietly to Xue Chenxi as she was helped by her male attendants.

Xue Chenxi understood and resumed her usual cheerful demeanor, chatting and laughing with Zhao Mengxuan as they left.

Unbeknownst to Feng Muqing, the three were reported to Feng Tianhuang immediately after they left.

"Alright, you can go now!"

Feng Tianhuang waved her hand to dismiss the informant and ordered them to continue monitoring Qingyun Palace. Ling Yu, noticing her displeased expression, stepped forward to massage her shoulders, "I don't know what Muqing is up to, mingling with Ling Shuang and also with the Xue and Zhao families. Her health is poor, and she's constantly on the move."

Feng Tianhuang, with a vague expression, reflected on the recent assassination attempt on Feng Xiran and sighed, thinking, "To untie the bell, one must find the person who tied it."

The three-day deadline quickly approached. Feng Xiran chose the oldest carriage in her residence, donned what she considered the most simple attire, and joined the caravan heading out of the city.

Seeing Xue Chenxi's carriage, which was slightly inferior to hers on her first departure, Feng Xiran shook her head and said to Lan Yun: "That fool Xue Chenxi will have her share of trouble when others set their sights on her belongings."
