Chapter 240: Chapter 242 Disdained by Dragon Queen

Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu left the Imperial Palace, and it was deep into the night.

"Assassins, did you encounter any?"

Dugu Wu had a grim expression all the way, glaring dissatisfiedly at Feng Bailing who had just survived a life-and-death ordeal, yet was completely unaware of her impact.

Feng Bailing coughed softly twice.

"Beside the flower garden, some soil had fallen, and there were footprints on it."

It was pitch-dark at that time, and Dongfang Cheng insisted that it was Feng Bailing who plucked the orchid, but Dugu Wu saw it clearly; there were unfamiliar footprints, and judging by their size, they belonged to a man.

That footprint, he had cleaned it up amidst the chaos.

"There was a figure, told me to keep silent, and then disappeared."

Feng Bailing shrugged her shoulders, her words half-true, half-false.

Feng Bailing was still worried that Dugu Wu would interrogate her, but once they left the palace gates, Dugu Wu went to the Ministry of Revenue.

Recently, Dugu Wu was busy with official duties, preoccupied with arranging military funds for the Mu Family Army.

Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of taels she still lacked, Feng Bailing returned to Prince Shun’s Mansion.

The double-colored orchid she brought back from the palace, she didn’t waste it and planted it in a flower pot in her room.

At night, perhaps because she had drunk some beer, Feng Bailing felt sleepy the moment she touched the bed.

In deep sleep, Feng Bailing felt a sense of suffocation.

A familiar sensation... ghost pressing... Dragon pressing on the bed!

Feng Bailing suddenly opened her eyes, and saw Dragon Queen with eyes as big as lanterns staring at her.

Thwack, Dragon Queen’s tail slapped across Feng Bailing’s face.

"You still have the face to sleep, get up."

"Dragon Queen, Dugu Wu scared me during the day, and you scare me at night, do you even let people live?"

Feng Bailing was groggy with sleep.

"So weak and feeble, the Wooden Holy Seal was right under your eyes, and you just let it go."

Dragon Queen’s face was full of disappointment.

"Is there really a Wooden Holy Seal in the palace?"

Feng Bailing’s sleepiness vanished instantly.

"That plant you brought back, it was cultivated from the Wooden Holy Seal. However, that person is very cunning, hiding the Wooden Holy Seal, and by the time I wanted to investigate, its presence had already vanished."

Dragon Queen, lurking beside Dugu Wu, knew everything about the palace.

Only Feng Bailing, and not even Dugu Wu, knew of its existence.

"Can the Wooden Holy Seal still be hidden? Could it be, like me, the other party has hidden it within their body?"

The first ones Feng Bailing thought of were the Empress and Mr. Zhao by her side.

Listening to what sounded like a wild fantasy, Dragon Queen glanced at Feng Bailing.

"You think that everyone is like you, capable of nurturing the Water Holy Seal within your body?"

Feng Bailing is without doubt special.

She can bear the Pure Yang Qi of the Young Master within a woman’s body, and even give birth to children for the Young Master. The specific cause has yet to be understood by Dragon Queen.

There is no doubt though; there is some mysterious power within Feng Bailing’s body that allows the Water Holy Seal to exist within her and makes communication with Dragon Queen possible.

Feng Bailing once again felt Dragon Queen’s disdain.

She even felt that Dragon Queen and Dugu Wu were cut from the same cloth, even their contemptuous looks were strikingly similar.

"The Holy Seals are sentient, they are proud and won’t easily submit to anyone. You were able to subdue the Water Holy Seal because of a favorable convergence of time, location, and people. With the Regent King from Beiqi having sealed the Water Holy Seal earlier, and the Young Master helping you suppress it later, only then could you subdue it."

Dragon Queen didn’t think that anyone in the palace possessed such great fortune as Feng Bailing.

Like people, the Holy Seals also have ages and wisdom.

If the Water Holy Seal within Feng Bailing’s body were a naive and ignorant newborn, then the Wooden Holy Seal in the Imperial Palace was definitely endowed with the wisdom of an adolescent, much more cunning than the Water Holy Seal.

"So that means we can’t find the Wooden Holy Seal anymore."

Feng Bailing said with regret.

"Not necessarily. They are using the Wooden Holy Seal to nurture those orchids, and the orchids will need the Wooden Holy Seal to blossom. If we patiently wait, they will eventually show their hand."

After listening to Dragon Queen’s ramblings all night, Feng Bailing felt sore all over by daybreak.

Feng Bailing mustered her spirit, planning to visit Drunken Immortal Inn to see how Ouyang Chenchen’s business was doing, when she saw a horse carriage stopped outside Prince Shun’s Mansion.

Li Mubei got down from the carriage and gave Feng Bailing a bow.

Unlike the nighttime Li Mubei, the daytime Li Mubei appeared gentle and modest, showing no trace of being an assassin.

To be fair, a person like Li Mubei easily provoked goodwill in others.

Dongfang Lianhua was slow to warm up to others, especially men.

She felt a fondness for Li Mubei.

Before last night, Feng Bailing also admired Li Mubei.

But after learning that Li Mubei came to Great Chu with other intentions last night, Feng Bailing had to be cautious.

"Mr. Li, may I have a word with you?"

Feng Bailing took Li Mubei to Drunken Immortal Inn.

Ouyang Chenchen had gone to Yuxiu Academy for classes, where the dean was quite strict with her.

At this hour, Drunken Immortal Inn already had quite a few guests.

Fortunately, Ouyang Chenchen had reserved a private seat for Feng Bailing earlier, where the two of them sat down.

"Last night, thank you, Princess Consort Wu."

Li Mubei seemed to also be aware of the situation in the palace, but Feng Bailing did not reveal herself.

"Mr. Li, there’s no need to be so formal, but if you harbor any designs toward my mother, don’t blame me for being rude."

Feng Bailing’s eyes turned cold.

Li Mubei gave a wry smile.

"Princess Consort Wu, please don’t misunderstand, I have no ill intentions, especially towards your Princess Dongfang. She is intelligent and beautiful, and I truly admire her."

Feng Bailing raised her eyebrows.

"My mother has been married before, and she was deeply hurt by Feng Zhanlian; she has most likely given up on men."

Feng Bailing observed Li Mubei’s expression.

What Li Mubei’s exact identity was, Feng Bailing did not know.

But his martial prowess and his bearing suggested a high status.

A scion of such a family generally follows family arrangements: obedience to parents’ wishes and conforming to matchmakers’ sayings. They might indulge in a whim, but marrying a once-wed Dongfang Lianhua would be a different matter.

Feng Bailing would not allow her mother to be slighted again.

"Princess Consort Wu, I do not need to rely on my family, and if there is mutual affection, I am willing to wait. Please do not confuse my matter with the Dual-Colored Orchid’s issue."

Li Mubei’s tone was sincere.

"Regarding the Orchid matter, please enlighten me, Mr. Li. Why does the palace grow these orchids, are they poisonous or not, and does it have anything to do with Emperor Yongye’s illness?"

Feng Bailing promptly asked.

"Actually, telling you, Princess Consort Wu, poses no issue. Common orchids are slightly toxic, but specially cultivated ones are a different matter. Particularly the dual-colored orchid, which can be used to create a love poison. Those affected by the love poison will lose their minds, becoming wildly infatuated and completely obedient to the one who administered the poison. However, fortunately, dual-colored orchids are rare, perhaps blooming once in fifty years. The orchids in the palace cannot be used to create the poison. My family has grown orchids for a century and only seen the dual-colored orchid a couple of times."

Li Mubei spoke in a hushed tone.

He clearly wanted to build a good rapport with Feng Bailing and did not mind revealing the true use of the Dual-Colored Orchid.

Rare in this world?

Feng Bailing’s mind was marked with a big question mark.

She really didn’t have the heart to tell Li Mubei that the rare dual-colored orchid he spoke of was casually growing in her East Garden, with dozens of them blooming.
