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

"I know." Feng Tingjing interrupted the housekeeper, "But right now, we must put the overall situation first. The funeral should be simple and there is no need to make a big fuss. You go and make the arrangements."

At the same time, he was worried about his seriously ill mother, fearing that she would be upset by the news.

He turned to the housekeeper and said, "You must pass the order down. Everyone in the Feng Mansion must keep their mouths shut. The old lady must not know anything about the Madam's affairs. Her body can no longer withstand any stimulation."

After hearing this, the butler nodded in agreement and left in a hurry.

However, the spies left by Xiao Qiongzhu would not let them get their wish so easily.

Old Madam Feng eventually learned the news of Lu Minjing's death.

She couldn't bear the sudden blow, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

Feng Tingjing rushed over after hearing the news. When he saw the scene, he suppressed his grief and quickly ordered a doctor to treat the old lady.

After a careful examination, the doctor shook his head helplessly:

"Sir, the old lady has suffered a stroke due to the sudden stimulation. Her physical condition is extremely unstable. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's difficult to cure."

Hearing the news, Feng Tingjing's heart tightened, but he knew that he could not fall down at this moment.

Suppress the grief in your heart and keep yourself calm.

He instructed the people in the old lady's yard to take good care of her and ensure that she received the best treatment and care.

After dealing with Lu Minjing, Xiao Qiongzhu woke up in the morning feeling refreshed.

She looked at the meat buns in front of her, her appetite increased, and she ate with relish.

Taoist Qingxuan looked at her like this and couldn't help but joked, "I don't see you have much interest in these meat buns on weekdays. Why are you eating them so happily today? You should save some space to try the tonic that Aunt Li stewed for you. They are all good things."

After hearing this, Xiao Qiongzhu raised a smug smile.

She chuckled, acknowledging her good mood today.

Ji Guiyi, who was standing aside, remained silent.

He glanced at Xiao Qiongzhu calmly and said, "Now that the matter in our hearts has been resolved, should we prepare to return to Shangjing City?"

The Taoist priest was stunned, not understanding what Ji Guiyi said.

But he tactfully did not ask any further questions.

Xiao Qiongzhu nodded and said to Liang Bo beside her:

"Uncle Liang, go make some arrangements and have someone start packing up and prepare to go to the capital. Just leave a few reliable people to guard the mansion, and the others will come with me."

Uncle Liang nodded and replied respectfully:

"Miss, don't worry. Commander Xiao has already prepared a mansion for you in Shangjing City, which is even bigger than the place we live in now. When he came back two days ago, he gave me the key and address. We will prepare everything as soon as possible according to your instructions."

Xiao Qiongzhu summoned Xuan Jiu and asked about the news from the palace.

Xuan Jiu replied respectfully, "My Lord, there is news from the palace that the emperor's health has deteriorated rapidly overnight, and even the accompanying doctors are helpless. They checked the emperor's diet and daily life, but could not find anything abnormal. Now, they have decided to escort the emperor back to Shangjing City. I hope that all the doctors in the palace can work together to diagnose and find something."

Ji Guiyi interrupted and said, “You can rest assured that even if the emperor returns to the palace, the cause of the disease cannot be found by ordinary medical skills.

Taoist Qingxuan listened silently at the side and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

He gave Ji Guiyi a thumbs up.

He secretly swore in his heart that from now on, he would never offend the people from Ghost Gate easily. These people were unfathomable, and if they were offended, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xiao Qiongzhu thought that the purpose of Yun Jingxi's trip was to find clues to the treasure.

"Have there been any criminals harassing Hengtian Mountain recently?"

Taoist Qingxuan coughed lightly, "Old Gu often sends news. Although some ignorant people from the underworld went there to cause trouble, they were all minor incidents, and the people left there are enough to deal with them."

Xiao Qiongzhu pondered for a moment, "Our first mission when we go to Shangjing City this time is to catch all the remaining traitors of Longyin Army. If we don't get rid of these people, they will become a big worry for us."

Taoist Qingxuan nodded in agreement and said, "Let Commander Xiao handle this matter."

Yun Kaizhou walked in at this time and interrupted everyone's discussion:

"Yun Jingxi has woken up and is preparing to leave for Shangjing immediately. In addition, because the Feng Mansion is in mourning, Concubine Chen asked the emperor to let Feng Ruoyan stay in the Feng Mansion for three years to observe mourning and return to the palace after three years. At the same time, she also suggested that the emperor demote Feng Tingjing to a remote area and make him a small county magistrate."

Xiao Qiongzhu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "This Li Mei'er is really good at it. Yun Jingxi dealt with Feng Tingjing so easily."

Yun Kaizhou smiled and looked at Xiao Qiongzhu: "Yun Jingxi is a narrow-minded person. He knows that Li Meier almost became his concubine and lost the clue of the treasure in the storehouse. How could he let Feng Tingjing go? He is just going with the flow."

Xiao Qiongzhu nodded and said, "That's right. Li Meier mentioned this matter, which is exactly what he wanted."

Yun Kaizhou snorted softly.

"He might still be praising Li Mei'er for her tact in his heart. If Li Mei'er asks for an official position for Feng Tingjing, do you think he will be so happy?"

After breakfast, Yun Kaizhou and Xiao Qiongzhu returned to the room.

Xiao Qiongzhu quietly looked at the koi swimming in the yard, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

Yun Kaizhou asked softly, "Zhu'er, what's on your mind?"

Xiao Qiongzhu sighed softly, picked up the fish food on the stone table, and slowly scattered it to the school of fish.

"On the way to Shangjing City, I want to go to Longhua Temple."

Yun Kaizhou hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go with you. But we can't enter through the front door. I received news that Yun Jingxi seems to suspect that Fanxing Pavilion has a relationship with the Xia family, and has deployed heavy troops in Longhua Temple to monitor your grandmother."

Xiao Qiongzhu frowned when she heard this: "What should I do? I must go see my grandmother this time."

Yun Kaizhou comforted her, "Don't worry. Grandmother Xia is growing vegetables in the back hills of Longhua Temple. I know a hidden path leading to the back hills that is not easy to be discovered."

Xiao Qiongzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Now I can only go to see grandma secretly."

"Don't worry, it won't be long before my father's arrangement in the palace will work. Yun Jingxi will return to the palace this time to recuperate for a long time, and my father will continue to supervise the country."

Xiao Qiongzhu sneered, "Yun Jingxi is already terminally ill and there is no way he can be saved."

"Father must have already taken action against Prime Minister Liu. He is probably dead in the inner prison by now."

He turned to Xiao Qiongzhu, his eyes full of expectation: "Zhu'er, this time I am going with you to see the grandmother, maybe it is a good opportunity, can I mention our marriage to her?"

Xiao Qiongzhu glanced at him and said calmly:

"What do you mean? When did I ever say I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you?"

Yun Kaizhou hurriedly explained: "Since you are already mine, who else do you want to marry if you don't marry me?"

Xiao Qiongzhu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Who said I have to get married? I have a lot of wealth now, I can live comfortably without getting married, wouldn't it be wonderful to travel around the world?"

After saying that, she turned and went into the room, no longer paying attention to Yun Kaizhou.

Yun Kaizhou called out anxiously outside the door, tears streaming down his face, as if he couldn't live without her.

Xuan Wu was watching this scene and couldn't help asking, "Master, are you really willing to give up such an outstanding prince to someone else? Don't regret it. I heard that many young ladies of high-ranking officials are eyeing the prince when we get to Shangjing City."

Xiao Qiongzhu snorted and didn't respond.
