After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

"Why are you crying? If someone treats you badly, just retaliate. If you can't do it yourself, I'll help you."

Feng Qiongzhu raised her head slightly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she didn't expect that he would pay so much attention to her emotions.

She had always thought that he was a cold and heartless person, but she didn't expect that he had such a warm and caring side.

Feng Qiongzhu shook her head, "No, you can't help me, I will take revenge on my own."

Yun Kaizhou nodded to show his understanding.

"If you don't need it, forget it. I'll take you to see four secret guards and two maids who are good at martial arts. They are all transferred from the secret guard camp of Prince Duan's mansion. Although they are not the top masters, they are more than enough to protect your daily safety. They are now helping Aunt Li with some chores. If you need anything, you can directly tell them."

"So will these people listen to you or me?" Feng Qiongzhu asked.

Yun Kaizhou glanced at her and said indifferently: "Of course I give it to you and she is yours. I won't interfere."

Hearing Yun Kaizhou's answer, the gloom on Feng Qiongzhu's face disappeared, and the corners of her lips raised, revealing a bright smile.

Yun Kaizhou looked at Feng Qiongzhu who was sitting opposite him, drinking tea and enjoying this rare quiet time.

I don’t know if it was because the hot steam from the tea brightened her complexion, or because her health had improved, but her face no longer had the paleness from the injury, but instead became rosy.

Feng Qiongzhu also looked at Yun Kaizhou secretly. She had to admit that he was as handsome as the man in the painting. The mist-green brocade clothes made his face look flawless and added a bit of elegance and refinement to his temperament.

Feng Qiongzhu changed the subject and mentioned something she was concerned about: "Tell me about my father Feng Tingjing."

"Your father?" Yun Kaizhou put down the teacup in his hand.

Yun Kaizhou thought for a moment and said, "Your father was selected by the late emperor himself during the Xuanqi period. He was promoted from the position of Ye Ting Ling to Chao Yi Lang, then to Wai Yuan Wailang, and then to Tai Shi Ling, a position of the sixth rank."

He paused for a moment and continued, "His path to promotion was not the right one. It was all based on flattery and money. He has been in the position of Grand Historian for many years. Now he is trying to get close to the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel in Cangzhou, hoping to move up a level."

"People who are already mediocre and do not work hard to improve their political achievements, but instead are bent on taking crooked paths, such people are doomed to have a short career in politics."

Feng Qiongzhu picked up the handkerchief in her hand and gently wiped her hands which were covered with oil after eating the buns. There was a cold light in her eyes: "The reason why he was able to get promoted all the way was all thanks to my mother's dowry. Now, the expenses of the entire Feng Mansion still rely on my mother's money."

"Let the two maids help me today. I'm going to Dr. Du's pharmacy in the west room to make some ointment."

"I'll call them over to see you later and let them recognize their master." Yun Kaizhou's eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing that she had turned back into her cold and distant self, he finally couldn't help but said, "You'd better have a smile on your face. You look like you're freezing to death when you're not smiling. You're already ugly, and with a cold face, you're even uglier."

Feng Qiongzhu half-closed her eyes and replied coldly: "You'd better not treat it. Your weak and incapable illness is only suitable for a gentleman like you. Otherwise, even if you are cured, you will still be in trouble, which may not be a good thing."

Yun Kaizhou immediately became well-behaved, and attentively poured a cup of tea for Feng Qiongzhu, smiling flatteringly, "Miss, you are joking. You can't be ugly. You are born delicate and graceful, like this sapling that breaks through the soil in the morning, with its own unique and tenacious temperament."

"What's wrong? You were a silly girl before, and now you're a girl?" Feng Qiongzhu couldn't bear it anymore and said.

"You just said I was unsophisticated, didn't you? You even compared me to a sapling. Why didn't you just say I was a flower? Look how sarcastic and mean you are!"

Yun Kaizhou's eyes dodged, and he muttered to himself: What's a flower? With a bean sprout-like body and skin as dark as the ash on Aunt Li's kitchen stove, even if I pretend to be blind, I can't see this pile of ash as a flower, right? This is simply asking too much.

Feng Qiongzhu was keenly aware of his evasive look and immediately understood what he was thinking.

Without hesitation, she picked up the handkerchief she had just wiped her hands with and threw it at him, saying loudly, "Go and call Old Man Du over to me!"

Yun Kaizhou was startled by her sudden temper and didn't dare to say a word. He could only respond in a low voice: "I know, Doctor Du should be here for breakfast soon, please wait a little longer."

Feng Qiongzhu ignored Yun Kaizhou's words. She turned to the door and called out clearly, "Anqing, go call Doctor Du over."

As soon as the voice fell, a figure disappeared like the wind.

Feng Qiongzhu sat quietly, waiting, with a hint of strangeness and coldness in her attitude.

Just then, Old Man Du's voice appeared, breaking the silence.

"Girl, why did you get up so early today? Don't you want to sleep in?"

Feng Qiongzhu turned her head and looked at the old man, who looked lazy and looked like he hadn't taken a bath for 800 years. She said with a hint of impoliteness, "Oh~ Your son's poison has not been cured yet, and he may die from the poison at any time. As his attending physician, you seem to be sleeping soundly."

The old man was frightened by her words, his eyes widened. Seeing her angry expression, the old man did not dare to provoke her. After all, his medical skills were inferior to hers. He could only mutter in a low voice: "The prince's condition is not as serious as you said. Doesn't he look healthy?"

Feng Qiongzhu didn't want to waste time talking to him anymore, so she got straight to the point: "Are you going up the mountain with your guards to collect herbs today?"

When the old man heard the serious matter, he immediately became serious: "Yes, I'm ready. We will set off after breakfast. Do you have anything to tell me?"

Feng Qiongzhu tapped her fingers on the table intermittently. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm worried that you are not familiar with the appearance of the herb, and your drawings may deviate from my drawings. If you encounter herbs that are similar to the ones in my drawings, please pick them up and I will select them."

"Also, I'm afraid the climate here is not much different from that in Cangzhou. There should be that kind of medicinal herb on the mountain. You can ask the guards to look carefully and they should be able to find it."

"Okay, I got it. I'll keep an eye on them," the old man agreed vaguely while chewing a bun.

After saying that, he finished the bun in a few bites, picked up a bowl of porridge and gulped it down, then hurried out the door.

As he walked away, he reminded Feng Qiongzhu, "I heard that you will be using my pharmacy in the west room today. Feel free to use the herbs there. The medicine furnace and everything else are all available."
