Chapter 236: Chapter 238: The Strange Flower Garden

Just as Dugu Wu was about to capture Feng Bailing’s lips.

"There’s an assassin!"

A shadow flitted across the distant palace towers, and the voices of the Imperial Army suddenly rose.

Dugu Wu’s face became stern, and Feng Bailing quickly pushed Dugu Wu away.

Within the Royal Family, there is no good person?

Dongfang Mosheng is not a good person either?

"Stay here; don’t run around."

Dugu Wu’s eyes darkened.

The Great Chu Imperial Palace was heavily guarded, and the direction of the assassin was precisely where Emperor Yongye’s sleeping quarters were located.

As soon as Dugu Wu’s voice fell, his figure had already turned into a shadow.

"Compared to him, I must be the cripple, right?"

Feng Bailing murmured to herself.

Dugu Wu became much more agile after acquiring those crutches.

Feng Bailing had never seen anyone use crutches so well.

After Dugu Wu left, there was no one in the imperial garden.

Feng Bailing walked a few steps, her eyes deepening.

"These flowers?"

Feng Bailing was surprised.

In the flowerbed not far away, buds of orchids stood quietly, ready to bloom.

The buds had yet to open, and the buds had not yet turned black, but when getting close, one could already smell a charming fragrance in the air.

Dual-Colored Orchid.

Feng Bailing took a closer look; indeed, the flower in front of her was exactly the same as the Dual-Colored Orchid she had grown in the East Garden.

What surprised Feng Bailing was that the palace’s Dual-Colored Orchids, whether in terms of plants or flowering period, had caught up with the few she had cultivated.

This was nearly impossible.

Feng Bailing’s Dual-Colored Orchids had grown and bloomed in just a few days through the combined effects of Genetic Seeds and the Spiritual Spring, and even so, they had a much longer growth cycle than other medicinal herbs and fruits and vegetables.

This meant that the normal cultivation of Dual-Colored Orchids required at least one or even two years.

Genetic Seed modification was impossible in Great Chu, the only possibility was that the cultivator also possessed the Spiritual Spring.

Was there a Spiritual Spring in the Imperial Palace?

Feng Bailing thought about it and quickly dismissed the idea.

After all, the Spiritual Spring was a very rare existence, not to mention Great Chu, even if you look to other countries, it was as rare as a phoenix’s feather and a unicorn’s horn.

Just as Feng Bailing was about to take a closer look at the flowerbed, she felt that something was not right around her.

Someone was coming.

The person was fast, and facing them head-on, she was no match.

Almost instinctively, Feng Bailing’s figure vanished, entering the Medical Cabin.

In the instant Feng Bailing disappeared, an agile figure landed in front of the flowerbed.

The person was tall with a body draped in night clothes, silent upon arrival; if not for Feng Bailing’s seventh sense, it would be impossible to detect.

This person was the previously discovered assassin.

However, nobody thought that his target was not Emperor Yongye or anyone else; he used a feint, aiming for the flowerbed in front of him.

The figure landed in front of the flowerbed, glanced at the flowers, his handsome eyebrows furrowed.

He pulled up a Dual-Colored Orchid, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, murmuring softly.

"Really, it is the Wooden Holy Seal."

The man had just finished speaking when a chill ran down his back.

A Water Arrow shot out, hitting him squarely in the back of the head.

Yet, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, his palm swung out, brushing towards the person behind him.

"Li Mubei."

Feng Bailing’s eyes flashed, her lips moved slightly, and she called out.

This call set off a storm in Li Mubei’s eyes.

In an instant, he recognized the person before him.

The man abruptly stopped his strike, remained silent for a moment, and then pulled down the black scarf from his face.

The man before her had deep features, and even the most common night clothes seemed noble on him.

Only now, unlike at the Duke Chen Mansion, Li Mubei wore an air of vigilance, looking at Feng Bailing with added caution.

Princess Shengping, daughter of Dongfang Lianhua, to think she possessed such fearsome skills.

Unnoticed by gods and ghosts, she lurked in the shadows, even he had not discovered her.

How much had she heard of what he said just now?

Especially about the matter of the Wooden Holy Seal.

"What a coincidence, Princess Consort Wu."

Indeed, it’s quite a coincidence.

Feng Bailing thought to herself, both here for the Dual-Colored Orchid.

The night was heavy and Feng Bailing confronted Li Mubei.

Behind Li Mubei, the fragrance from the Dual-Colored Orchid in the flower bed grew stronger.

Compared to Li Mubei’s caution, Feng Bailing looked at ease.

"How did Princess Consort Wu recognize me?"

Seeing that Feng Bailing had no intention of calling for help, Li Mubei breathed a little easier.

Counting back, they had only met once, and his attire of night clothes would not easily be recognized by acquaintances.

"Everyone has a unique aura; my nose is more sensitive than most. Mr. Li is a Nanshe person, and the fragrance used for scenting clothes is not common in Great Chu. I noticed it during the Xia He Banquet."

Feng Bailing smiled.

"No wonder the Third Prince always praises Princess Consort Wu for her orchid-like character."

Li Mubei pondered for a moment.

"Mr. Li need not be nervous. This flower garden is not my property. Come and go as you please. However, I have one question. If you can tell me, I guarantee that no third person will know about tonight’s incident."

Feng Bailing pointed at the flower bed.

"You seem to know where this flower came from."

Feng Bailing had never seen this kind of flower in Great Chu, nor had she seen it in the 22nd century. It seemed that the flower was introduced from another country; she had people look into it with no results, it might be better to ask directly.

"That’s an Orchid, a very precious blooming plant, difficult to cultivate. It blooms once every fifty years, naturally dual-colored, and poisonous."

Li Mubei was indeed a straightforward man, not concealing anything, and directly spilled what he knew.
