Chapter 28: Chapter 28 The Little Secret Inside Feng Bailing’s Body Chapter 28: Chapter 28 The Little Secret Inside Feng Bailing’s Body “Your facial bumps are due to the Pure Yang Qi.”
Gong Zhu pointed at Feng Bailing’s bumpy face.
Feng Bailing touched her face, which had beco sowhat smoother recently due to skincare products and massages, and she believed it would completely calm down in a few days.
She had always assud it was caused by hormonal imbalance, but it turned out to be the Pure Yang Qi.
According to traditional Chinese dicine, males are governed by Yang and females by Yin.
“Pure Yang Qi in a woman’s body is poison. I’ve never seen a woman survive with Pure Yang Qi in her body. You truly have a unique gift.”
Gong Zhu circled around Feng Bailing, clicking his tongue in amazent.
He had been taught various poisons and Poison Techniques by Evil of Constellation since he was a child. Others couldn’t see it, but he could see that Feng Bailing was afflicted with the toxin of Pure Yang.
“If you can channel this Pure Yang Qi, you might even be able to condense it into a Seal. Being able to condense it into a Seal after becoming a mother would indeed be a great spectacle.”
Gong Zhu’s eyes blazed, staring at Feng Bailing’s face.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that without those bumps, Feng Bailing was not ugly, even quite beautiful, especially her eyes.
Unlike ordinary won, she never shied away when looking at soone; her gaze was frank and open. And her beautiful eyes made it hard for anyone to look away once they caught sight of her.
Gong Zhu’s heart thumped wildly for a mont, and he quickly averted his gaze.
To cover the awkwardness, Gong Zhu shared a set of breathing exercises for the Gathering Seal with Feng Bailing.
“You help with the Gathering Seal, and I’ll help you eliminate your ailnt.”
True to her word, Feng Bailing focused her mind, and upon activating the Seventh Sense again, her dkit gained a set of acupuncture needles, which she began inserting into Gong Zhu.
After the acupuncture, Gong Zhu felt his body’s channels refreshingly clear. He trusted Feng Bailing’s dical Skill a bit more and no longer hid things from her.
“People have always been watching over the Princess’ Mansion. However, strangely, those people withdrew in the afternoon.”
Gong Zhu, skilled in Qinggong, crouched in the shadows, chewing on a chicken leg, and indeed spotted a few “flies.”
He didn’t understand why a Princess’ Mansion with so little authority still needed to be guarded so closely.
Those people must be Emperor Yongye’s n.
Feng Bailing had a clear understanding in her heart.
People withdrew in the afternoon because Emperor Yongye collaborated with Feng Bailing, trusting that she had beco his spy.
“No need for you to watch over the Princess’ Mansion anymore; you can resu normal activities. Rember to co back every half month for an acupuncture session. Also, I need your help to investigate soone—Nalan Yan’er.”
Feng Bailing took out a gold ingot she had just received.
Gong Zhu was not shy; in his view, not talking about money was disrespectful.
Speaking of Nalan Yan’er, she was indeed a renowned figure in Great Chu.
Since her childhood, she had condensed the Wenhua Seal and mastered arts like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, setting a standard for eminent ladies in every nation, not to ntion that her childbirth was accompanied by auspicious signs of dragons and phoenixes.
Feng Bailing reflected on her past and realized her views on people and situations had been too one-sided.
Whether it was Dongfang Li or Feng Xiangxue, she had always seen them as the main culprits, but now it seed likely that they were just tools.
The precautions Emperor Yongye took towards the Princess’ Mansion and the relationship between Feng Xiangxue and Nalan Yan’er were revelations after her rebirth.
How could Feng Xiangxue, a re concubine daughter, gain such special attention from Crown Princess Consort Nalan?
She suspected that all these events were related to a secret decree held by her mother, Princess Yong’an.
After sending Gong Zhu away, Feng Bailing returned to the west wing, paid respects to Dongfang Lianhua, and relayed everything that had happened today to her.
Dongfang Lianhua was inford that her daughter was titled Commandery Princess but did not look too pleased; on the contrary, Nanny Gui and a group of servants were overjoyed.
“Congratulations, Miss. The Emperor finally rembered you, his niece.”
“Miss marrying the Ninth Prince, soon to be a Princess Consort, could look down on those from the south wing who bully others.”
“Ah Ling, Prince Shun’s Mansion is not an ordinary household, and I do not know if this marriage is good or bad. Moreover, you have always liked the Seventh Prince; it’s mother who has dragged you down.”
With her hands holding her daughter’s, Dongfang Lianhua’s face clouded with worry.
Noble Princess Consort Xiao and Emperor Yongye would never allow their beloved son to marry Ah Ling; it was originally the late Emperor’s pity that brought about this marriage.
Years ago, when Ah Ling did not understand the situation, Dongfang Lianhua, unwilling to break her daughter’s heart, had always opposed the marriage.
Feng Bailing asured Dongfang Lianhua’s blood pressure again for her. Her blood pressure was stable, but her body was still weak and urgently needed dicinal tonics to replenish her energy.
She dispatched Nanny Gui to fetch more ginseng while sitting beside Dongfang Lianhua.
“Mother, Ah Ling has grown up now, and all the past was due to my lack of understanding. There is another matter, sothing daughter has long wanted to tell you.”
Cautiously, Feng Bailing recounted the events of the past four years to Dongfang Lianhua.
The existence of Feng Xiaoli was also sothing Feng Bailing knew couldn’t be kept hidden for long.
Hearing this, Dongfang Lianhua’s face dramatically changed, and her blood pressure spiked suddenly too, causing Feng Bailing to hurriedly give her dication to take.
Tears stread down from Dongfang Lianhua’s eyes.
“Ah Ling, what should we do? This marriage might cost you your life.”
Which man in this world would accept a wife who lost her chastity before marriage?
Dongfang Lianhua had never t Dugu Wu, and her impression of him was only that of a brutal, bloodthirsty man from the rumors, a man used to licking blood off his blade. With her daughter already having a child, if he were to find out, Ah Ling might be cleaved in two.
“Mother, Dugu Wu also has a son. I didn’t bla him for losing his chastity before marriage, and not just once but three tis, a real seasoned player, what right does he have to bla ? He has t Xiao Li, and Xiao Li really likes him. Our marriage is a contract, and after a year, we shall part ways as agreed, with no debts between us.”
Dongfang Lianhua, a princess of the royal family, grew up listening to refined and elegant expressions; her daughter’s words left her stunned.
After a long while, she finally realized that her own Ah Ling was indeed different now.
She thought about what was inappropriate yet felt that this version of Ah Ling was acceptable.
“Mother, do you have a secret edict from the late Emperor in your possession?”
Feng Bailing changed the topic, wanting to ask about the very edict that brought disasters to the Princess’ Mansion.
For the sake of it, Dongfang Li caused her family to be wrecked.
Emperor Yongye also dispatched people to secretly monitor the Princess’ Mansion because of it.
Dongfang Lianhua’s tone was puzzled.
“I do not have any secret edict at hand.”
Feng Bailing felt sowhat headache-ridden; she wanted to tell Dongfang Lianhua that for that edict, Feng Zhanlian and Dongfang Li put them in a deadly situation.
“Mother, you need to be cautious around the people from the Feng Mansion in the future, especially Feng Zhanlian.”
“Ah Ling, you have many misunderstandings with your father; he ca to see today to ask to persuade you.”
Dongfang Lianhua sighed softly, recalling when she first t Feng Zhanlian — he was talented and charming, and she fell for him instantly… Although their affection has faded, he is still the father of their children.
