Ever since Feng Tingjing was targeted by the emperor, he has been unemployed at home.

Lu Minjing hurried out early in the morning to Xiao Mansion to invite Feng Qiongzhu back home. Feng Tingjing already knew about this.

At this moment, he had already thought about how to deal with Feng Qiongzhu.

He sat in the study with a smug smile on his face, as if he had already seen the end of Feng Qiongzhu crying and begging for mercy.

However, just as he was waiting happily, the butler came hurriedly with the personal guards of Prince Duan.

A strong feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in Feng Tingjing's heart.

"I wonder what this gentleman wants to see me about?" He tried to remain calm and tried to get some clues from the guard's eyes.

An Qing said expressionlessly: "The prince ordered me to come here to tell you that Madam Feng is staying at Feng Mansion as a guest because she misses you so much. She won't be back for a while."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Tingjing was struck by lightning, and the smug smile on his face instantly froze.

He stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He could never have imagined that his carefully planned plan would be broken up by Prince Duan at the last moment.

When he tried to get more information from An Qing, An Qing had already turned and left, leaving Feng Tingjing stamping his feet in anger.

He turned to the housekeeper angrily, "What exactly is the intention of this Prince Duan? He keeps saying that he wants to keep the lady as a guest, but isn't this a blatant detention? This is simply too much!"

He paced around the room anxiously, trying to find a solution.

Seeing this, the housekeeper knew that Feng Tingjing was extremely anxious at the moment, but there was nothing he could do.

He suggested tentatively: "Master, maybe we can try to find out what Eunuch Yu has to say. After all, he is from the palace, and maybe he knows something about Prince Duan."

When Feng Tingjing heard this, a light flashed in his eyes, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay, go and ask around and make sure you find out where Eunuch Yu is now."

The housekeeper looked embarrassed. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke cautiously, "Master, there is actually no need to ask specifically. In my opinion, Eunuch Yu must be in the Bihua Pavilion serving Li Mei'er at this moment."

Feng Tingjing suddenly raised his head and couldn't help showing surprise.

He looked at the housekeeper in disbelief and asked, "How could he, a eunuch, be around Li Mei'er all day? Besides, we are not in the palace now."

The housekeeper smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed, "Master, how can a small person like us know about the affairs of such a big shot? There may be a connection or transaction between Eunuch Yu and Li Mei'er that we don't know about. In short, he is indeed in the Bihua Pavilion at the moment, this is indisputable."

Feng Tingjing was silent for a moment, as if digesting this information.

He understood that no matter what kind of entanglement there was between Eunuch Yu and Li Meir, it had nothing to do with him.

What he needed was to find Eunuch Yu and see what to do next.

So, he waved his hand and signaled the butler to leave: "Okay, I understand. You can leave, I will go to the Bihua Pavilion myself."

After saying that, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out the door.

At this moment, in the courtyard of Bihua Pavilion, Honeysuckle was lying on a tree bored.

She suddenly noticed Feng Tingjing's arrival, and she quickly jumped down from the tree and sneaked into the room to remind Li Meir: "Feng Tingjing is coming this way."

Li Meir heard Rendong's reminder and was about to go out to greet him.

But Eunuch Yu stopped her in time and signaled her to stay in the room and not move.

Eunuch Yu stepped into the court, with a shrewd look in the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He looked at Feng Tingjing, and his tone revealed some confusion: "Master Feng, are you looking for Miss Mei'er?"

Feng Tingjing waved his hands hurriedly, with a look of anxiety on his face: "No, Eunuch Yu, I came here specially to see you."

Eunuch Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, you're looking for me? What do you want?"

Feng Tingjing expressed his doubts one by one: "Today, my wife went to Xiao Mansion to take my eldest daughter back to live. Unexpectedly, Prince Duan left his wife in Xiao Mansion. Eunuch Yu, what do you think Prince Duan's intention was?"

Eunuch Yu showed some displeasure on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Is this a small matter worth you coming to me? The prince of Duan has royal blood. Even if he really does something, what can you do to him?"

After saying that, he glanced at Feng Tingjing and said in a slightly softer tone: "Don't worry, Prince Duan won't do anything to your wife."

When Feng Tingjing heard what Eunuch Yu said, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

He quickly took out a silver note from his sleeve and quietly slipped it to Eunuch Yu: "Thank you for your guidance, Eunuch Yu. I will take my leave now."

Eunuch Yu calmly touched the silver bills in his sleeve and waved to Feng Tingjing to see him off.

But in that dim dungeon, the scene was quite different.

Xuan Jiu stared coldly at the disheveled Lu Minjing in front of him, stretched out his slender fingers, pinched her chin, and forced the pill in his hand into her mouth.

Lu Minjing struggled in fear. She could never have imagined that she would end up in such a state.

Feng Qiongzhu was so crazy as to bring her to this gloomy dungeon and torture her.

"What on earth did you give me to eat?" Lu Minjing shouted at the top of her lungs. Her voice echoed in the empty dungeon, sounding particularly desolate and helpless.

His eyes were fixed on Xuan Jiu in front of him, trying to find a hint of answer from her face.

Xuan Jiu sneered, "I don't know either, but I'll know soon."

Lu Minjing's mind was in a mess at the moment. She didn't understand why Feng Qiongzhu treated her like this.

She kept cursing Feng Qiongzhu, but it was of no avail.

After a while, Lu Minjing felt as if all the bones in her body were crushed, and the pain seemed to tear her soul apart.

She rolled on the ground in pain, sweat pouring down her face and her clothes soaked.

"It hurts so much, I said...please give me the antidote." Lu Minjing couldn't help but begged for mercy.

Xuan Jiu sighed and shook his head, "If you had said so earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer this pain. What a pity, I don't have the antidote, you just have to endure the pain first."

Lu Minjing was in so much pain that she almost lost consciousness, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

She raised her head, stared at Xuan Jiu, and spoke with difficulty: "Go and call Feng... Qiongzhu over, I will tell you when I see her..."

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind Xuan Jiu: "You want to see me?"

Feng Qiongzhu walked slowly into the dungeon with a sneer on her face, a smile full of coldness and murderous intent.

Xuan Jiu immediately turned around and bowed respectfully to Feng Qiongzhu: "Miss."

Lu Minjing looked up at Feng Qiongzhu, her eyes full of fear and confusion: "Why...why are you doing this to me?"
