rebirth after cruelty

Chapter 20 Provoking the Second Prince (Seeking Acceptance)

"The Empress Dowager summons." The maid said in a low voice.

"Wait a moment." Lang Fu turned around and walked towards Feng Ruqing.

Feng Ruqing has already tidied up, "Let's go."

"Yes." Lang Fu and Lang Ying lowered their heads and followed behind her.

Seeing that she looked calm and not restrained at all, the maid outside waited sideways for her to come out.

Waiting for Fengru to go to the Empress Dowager Xu's bedroom.

"My daughter-in-law Feng Ruqing is visiting the Empress Dowager." Feng Ruqing saluted respectfully.

"Get up." Empress Dowager Xu said lightly.

Feng Ruqing got up slowly and stood there respectfully.

Empress Dowager Xu was well aware of Feng Ruqing's performance in Chonghua Hall yesterday, but Empress Dowager Xu didn't like a woman like this.

Empress Dowager Xu didn't open her mouth either, she just let her stand there. After an unknown amount of time, Empress Dowager Xu slowly opened her lips, "What's the progress on the matter of blood?"

"Back to the queen mother, the courtiers are incompetent." Feng Ruqing said helplessly.

Empress Dowager Xu pondered for a moment, "No one in the harem has been found out. After all, it's Aijia's disease that rushed to the doctor."

"Please punish the Queen Mother." Feng Ruqing immediately knelt down.

Seeing Feng Ruqing like this, Empress Dowager Xu's face was not very good.

This girl is used to going down the slope, so she's going to make progress by retreating.

After Feng Ruqing was assassinated last night, she knew very well that someone wanted to warn her not to get involved.

And she didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the harem, if it wasn't a helpless act, she would have liked to be as far away from this cold palace as possible.

It's a pity... some people just don't want her to have a good time.

Empress Dowager Xu saw that Feng Ruqing wanted to put down the pick, how could this be possible?

"It's only been a day now." Empress Dowager Xu said slowly.

Feng Ru narrowed her eyes, not daring to say more.

Empress Dowager Xu let her back down.

Feng Ruqing withdrew from Empress Dowager Xu's bedroom, and returned to her residence.

"Miss, why didn't you tell the Queen Mother about the assassination last night?" Lang Fu looked at her.

Feng Ruqing said indifferently, "What kind of place is this? How could there be an assassin?"

Lang Fu immediately realized it, "Could it be that the queen mother is clear?"

"So, the longer you stay here, the more dangerous it will be." Feng Ruqing shook her head secretly, "I have to find a way to leave earlier."

"But the queen mother obviously wants you to find out the murderer." Langfu said.

"Yes." Feng Ruqing said slowly, "The Queen Mother's mind really hasn't changed at all."

Lang Fu listened to Feng Ruqing's words, and asked again, "Then where shall we go later?"

"Guang Chu Division." Feng Ruqing said in a low voice.

"Guang Chu Si?" Lang Fu frowned, "Is this related to that bloody character?"

"En." Feng Ruqing nodded in response.

She then took Langfu and Langying to Guangchu Division.

Lang Fu was inevitably a little curious, "Miss is very familiar with the harem."

"Is it difficult to get familiar with it?" Feng Ruqing said indifferently.

Lang Fu saw that she spoke lightly, but she was speechless.

Seeing Langfu deflated, Lang Ying gloated from the sidelines.

Lang Fu glared at her.

Lang Ying pouted her lips, then lowered her head and followed.

Because everyone in the palace knew that the Empress Dowager had summoned Feng Ruqing to investigate the matter of the Chonghua Hall, so Feng Ruqing joined the Guangchu Division, and the head of the Guangchu Division came to greet her in person.

Feng Ruqing looked at the spending of the four treasures of the study in each palace.

After reading it, she left alone.

As soon as she left the Guangchu Division, Jun Haomo came to meet her.

She wasn't surprised, she just stepped forward slowly, and when she was in front of him, she was slightly blessed, "I have seen the Second Highness."

"Guang Chu Si?" Jun Haomo looked up, then looked at her again, "It's a coincidence."

"The Second Highness is here to be the supervisor?" Feng Ruqing said bluntly.

When Jun Haomo saw her, he didn't hide it at all, so when he exposed it face to face, it seemed that he was suspicious.

But for some reason, Jun Haomo was not annoyed, but instead smiled, "I don't know how Miss Feng's investigation is going?"

"It depends on whether His Highness the Second Highness can help you." Feng Ruqing really didn't like the palace, and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Since Jun Haomo intends to meddle, she doesn't have to be polite.

She doesn't have a good reputation outside, does she?

"Bold." The little eunuch behind Jun Haomo saw Feng Ruqing being so rude, and shouted in a deep voice.

Jun Haomo slightly raised his hand to stop the little eunuch.

The little eunuch could only stand respectfully behind him.

Feng Ruqing naturally recognized this little eunuch, in his previous life, he had often tripped him up.

Unexpectedly, after this rebirth, he would still be like this, giving himself a blow in front of Jun Haomo.

Feng Ruqing leaned towards Jun Haomo slightly, "The minister has overstepped, and the minister will resign."

After she said that, she wanted to leave.

Jun Haomo's expression darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "Slap your mouth."

"Yes." The little eunuch knelt on the ground and slapped himself in the face forcefully.

Feng Ruqing knew very well that what Jun Haomo disliked the most was someone rejecting him, even in this harem, he would find a way to preserve his unique decency and dignity.

Her actions at this time, to Jun Haomo, were intentional provocations.

But Jun Haomo's actions made Feng Ruqing a little puzzled.

He... Shouldn't he embarrass her in public?

A hint of puzzlement flashed across Feng Ruqing's eyes, but her face still didn't show, neither humble nor overbearing.

Seeing that Feng Ruqing was indifferent to this, Jun Haomo felt a little unhappy in his heart.

But, now that he wants to regain his face, he can't lose his momentum.

He added, "Miss Feng has worked so hard for my mother and concubine's affairs. If you have any requests, just say so."

Feng Ru was overwhelmed because she didn't expect Jun Haomo to give in.

This made the little eunuch who was still palming his mouth look at Feng Ruqing in disbelief.

Second Highness, this is... what's wrong?
Feng Ruqing nodded slightly towards him again, took half a step forward, and whispered something to him.

When Jun Haomo saw Feng Ruqing approaching suddenly, his body froze for some reason, and by the time he realized it, Feng Ruqing had moved back quickly.

Can he clearly smell the sweet fragrance that came from her body just now, but before he could think about it, Feng Ruqing said again, "Second Highness?"

Jun Haomo pretended to be thinking, to cover up the panic in his heart.

He nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Feng Ruqing blessed herself slightly and left.

The little eunuch was still slapping his mouth, and the loud slaps echoed.

"Okay." Jun Haomo said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The little eunuch stopped quickly and kowtowed to thank him.

Jun Haomo watched Feng Ruqing leave, and went straight to Chonghua Hall.

"Mother concubine."

Concubine Xu Gui has just returned from greeting the queen.

She sat down slowly, and said with a smile, "Mo'er came so early, is there something wrong?"

"Yes." Jun Haomo went forward and whispered a few words to Concubine Xu Gui.

After Xu Guifei heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said, "In that case, then I will follow Mo'er."

"My son, thank you mother and concubine." Jun Haomo saluted respectfully.
