"What trouble could the Queen Mother have? It’s Dongfang Jin’s mother who’s in trouble."
Feng Bailing secretly rejoiced.
"Her eyes, they’re terrifying."
There was a time when Dugu Xiaojin was controlled by Nalan Yan’er.
She carries the Wenhua Seal, and once her eyes meet with hers, one could be unconsciously swayed or even manipulated by her.
"The Queen Mother has a method to deal with her."
After Feng Bailing learned the Dragon Suppressing Needle from Hong Haoran, Hong Haoran also gave her a small bottle of the Hundred Poisons he had refined.
Hundred Poisons could condense into needles, attacking invisibly.
Just now, when Nalan Yan’er attempted to use the Wenhua Seal on her, Feng Bailing took advantage of her momentary lapse to use the Dragon Suppressing Needle, which she pierced into Nalan Yan’er’s brow.
As the needle entered her body, the Wenhua Seal was indeed suppressed.
It was a pity that this bottle of Hundred Poisons could only be used twice. Feng Bailing planned to find a way to refine more Hundred Poisons after she returned to Prince Shun’s Mansion.
"Her Majesty is the most formidable."
Feng Xiaoli sweetly flattered.
"Let’s go see the Empress Dowager."
Feng Bailing took the two little ones to visit the Empress Dowager.
The entire pond’s fish had been poisoned to death, their corpses floating on the water’s surface, a shocking sight to behold.
Li Qing was about to order the eunuchs to fish out the dead fish when Mr. Zhao came running quickly.
"Mr. Li, you must not retrieve the fish."
Mr. Zhao was a man of the Empress, and even Li Qing, the steward, had to give him some face.
"There are piranhas in there, which nearly hurt the Crown Princess Consort earlier. You usually manage these fish, don’t you? You need to be more careful, boy."
"The Empress didn’t know about the piranhas either and deeply regrets it. Despite this, the Empress has grown fond of these fish over the years and has feelings for them. She plans to have a ritual for them before disposing of the fish corpses."
"Then we will follow the Empress’s wishes. Someone come, make sure no one approaches the pond these few days."
Li Qing nodded his agreement.
After Li Qing left with his orders, Mr. Zhao gave a signal with his eyes to someone nearby.
"Why aren’t you going down yet?"
Several eunuchs hurried into action.
They ignored the dead fish and began dredging the pond, and in no time, they fished up several corpses.
"Remove the corpses from the palace, clean them thoroughly, and make sure no one finds out."
Mr. Zhao spoke in a low voice.
A commotion of breaking and smashing.
Nalan Yan’er’s hair was disheveled, and she was biting her teeth in anger.
Hua Wushang pushed the door open and looked at her coldly.
"Why did you stop me, Hua Wushang? It was clearly Feng Bailing’s fault that I fell into the water today. She pushed me."
Nalan Yan’er said hatefully.
Her body and feet were still covered in numerous wounds, all because of Feng Bailing.
"Why would she push you into the water?"
Hua Wushang squatted down, picking up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.
"She’s jealous that I’m the Crown Princess Consort, jealous that Dugu Ai loves me."
Nalan Yan’er said through gritted teeth.
"If that man still loved you, why didn’t he come to your rescue today? His legs aren’t really crippled."
Hua Wushang said with a sneer.
Nalan Yan’er, upon hearing this, felt an instant joy, forgetting the injuries on her body.
"I only said they weren’t crippled, not that they could recover instantly. But why... didn’t you listen to me? I told you not to provoke Feng Bailing."
Hua Wushang’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and the next moment, a broken porcelain piece was held against Nalan Yan’er’s beautiful face.
The sharp porcelain, against Nalan Yan’er’s fair and smooth skin, turned her complexion deathly pale, and she watched Hua Wushang with terror, fearing he would scratch her face.
