CHAPTER 274 (2): CYAN WIND PAVILION
Translation: Rakumon
The room was the sa as the one she had entered the first ti she ca to Cyan Wind Pavilion. It had beco her own private room, with other custors not being allowed to enter no matter how busy it beca.
The interior was decorated simply, with all the furniture being made of mahogany. A pot of her favourite tea, Taiping Houkui, was even placed on the table.
All of this had been arranged by Feng Changqing. He was from an impoverished background and had a feminine face, and he was even more ticulous than most won. But right now, that face has been destroyed.
Su Xi-er’s gaze darkened. I want to find a way to remove the scars on Feng Changqing’s face.
A knock on the door woke Su Xi-er from her thoughts, and Feng Changqing’s voice could be heard. He entered imdiately after Su Xi-er replied.
After closing the door, Feng Changqing bowed. “This subordinate heard that Wei Mohai is dead. Did he hurt you?”
Su Xi-er shook her head. “I received a wound on my arm, but it’s fine now. There’s no need to worry.”
“Wei Mohai is prudent and thorough. Every ti he received an order, he would stubbornly carry it out without fail. You can’t just be...”
“He sared poison on his sword, but the poison has detoxified. All that remains is a regular cut, and I’ll be fine after drinking so dicine. I ca here to inform you that Prince Hao will soon be searching for a flower grower to cultivate Lingrui. You have lived in Moon County in the past, so you must have so understanding about planting Lingrui.”
The expression in Feng Changqing’s eyes flickered for a mont. “Before this subordinate joined the army, I was begging for work in Moon County. I ended up as a flower child assistant.”
He involuntarily paused. In Moon County, only little girls will be flower child assistants, yet I was one as a boy. At that ti, many nobles and officials would snicker at my face, and there were even so n who would co forward to touch my face.
Those were the days of humiliation, mories Feng Changqing tried his best to not bring up.
Su Xi-er could guess his current emotions. “If you are hung up about the past, you should kill all those people who bullied you.”
“This subordinate...” Feng Changqing lowered his head and apologised, “This subordinate should have long forgotten about all those matters.”
“You shall go and beco Prince Hao’s flower grower, but you have to change your clothes into coarse ones. You also have to swap your veil for a rough cloth.”
Feng Changqing understood Su Xi-er’s intentions. This way, we won’t have to et in secret, and communication will be more convenient. It just so happens that being a flower child assistant allowed to learn how to care for Lingrui. However, that doesn’t an it’ll be easy for to transplant Lingrui in Beimin.
“Prince Hao acts fast, and will soon send people to Moon County. You should accidentally bump into the imperial guards. I will be around when the flower grower is selected, so Prince Hao will definitely choose you in the end.” Su Xi-er spoke slowly, enunciating each of her words.
Feng Changqing imdiately replied, “This subordinate understands.”
“I will be returning to Beimin with Prince Hao in three days. Have you settled everything here in Nanzhao?”
Feng Changqing nodded. “This subordinate is done with all the arrangents. As soon as sothing crops up in Nanzhao, you will be inford imdiately.”
“We won’t be able to bring Yun Ruofeng down completely in such a short ti. His lust for power is too strong, and we should expect further conflict. However, the current situation is promising. His heart will soon receive a crushing blow. I’ll write a letter for you to secretly send to the imperial palace; make sure it gets to Lianchen.”
Feng Changqing understood and quickly brought a brush with ink and paper over.
Within 15 minutes, Su Xi-er had finished writing the letter. It was succinct, with every word holding vital information.
Su Xi-er folded the letter and passed it to Feng Changqing. As she did so, the manager knocked on the door of the room. “Master, Yun Ruofeng has co to Cyan Wind Pavilion.”
