When Palace Maid brought Feng Yaohua to the side chamber to check, she already had a plan.

Seeing Nangong Chen's playful gaze, she secretly gestured to him to get Nangong Chen to give her a look of interest.

Entering the side hall and just as he was about to close the door, Nangong Chen reached out his hand to stop Palace Maid's hand from closing, but on his cold face was no expression at all. He was still the otherworldly deity in front of the human world.

Palace Maid had no doubts about his authority in the past, so she quickly retreated out of the room.

"What are you doing here?" Selling goods together? " Feng Yaohua was furious as she looked at him.

"Yeah." He didn't expect Nangong Chen to admit it so generously.

Shameless.

Feng Yaohua squatted down and tore off the lining of her skirt with a few steps.

After her and Feng Xue's modifications, there were only a few Nine-Headed Bird markings on the inside, and the rest of the place was made of the same material.

Nangong Chen did not hide anything, he crossed his arms and watched carefully on the side. Feng Yaohua glared at him again. Nangong Chen was not angry and chuckled.

When he returned to the main hall, he bowed and said shamelessly, "Reporting to the emperor, this sovereign has checked for himself. Feng Fifth Miss's clothes did not have any impoliteness in them. Perhaps this sovereign was just seeing things, so I would like to request the emperor to send someone else to inspect them."

Since he had already said so, the empress naturally had to give him face.

"If you don't have it, then forget it." The Emperor was the first to speak.

Although the empress was unwilling, she could only shut her mouth.

Returning to her seat, Feng Yaohua felt as if she was about to be shot in the face by the gazes from all around. She could only raise her cup to cover her expression.

As soon as she raised her glass, she felt something was wrong.

Although the color of the wine in the cup hadn't changed, there was still a slightly fishy smell to it, which reminded her of her previous life. Feng Qingyu hated their similar appearances, so she sent someone to poison her face.

As she thought about it, she understood that she had been in the limelight too early in her life. It was obvious that she was better looking than Feng Qingyu, and that she had been poisoned earlier than expected.

She raised her glass several times and then put it down, then tilted her head to look at Feng Qingyu's anxious eyes.

Upon seeing her look over, Feng Qingyu harrumphed coldly and turned her head away.

If that's the case, then don't blame her for being impolite.

"Aiya, my stomach is hurting a bit. Big sister, can you accompany me to the side hall?" Feng Yaohua clutched her stomach with one hand, her face contorted in pain.

As it was Feng Qingyu's first time using this medicine, she did not know what symptoms to have. Hearing this, she was overjoyed and spoke a lot better. He stood up and walked around the table to help her up.

Right now, Feng Yaohua took advantage of the moment when her dress blocked the others' line of sight to quickly change their wine cups.

"My stomach doesn't hurt anymore. Sorry for troubling you, big sister, to get up." Feng Yaohua apologized sincerely.

Feng Qingyu gave a rare snort of her own good temper and said no more.

The two of them sat down and continued to watch the performance presented by the ladies.

Feng Yaohua raised her head and met Nangong Chen's gaze.

She immediately lowered her head, pretending not to notice.

Nangong Chen suddenly said something. His clear voice penetrated the noisy singing and dancing in the main hall. "Feng Fifth Miss, why did you exchange cups with someone beside you?"

Again!

He had never seen anyone who treated shamelessness as fun.

Although Feng Yaohua thought this in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she suddenly said coquettishly, "Master, you're teasing me again!"

A loud commotion broke out among the people in the hall when they heard their master.

Feng Yaohua felt slightly pleased with herself. Why was he the only one who was making fun of her?

Nangong Chen didn't refute her, but he used his mouth to do something where no one else could see.

Heelian Ze's expression changed slightly. He had already felt that Feng Yaohua's appearance and experience were very close to him, but her status as a concubine was not compatible with him. He could only marry her and make her his pet.

He quickly stood up and walked over to Feng Yaohua. He said politely, "I have long heard that the Hua Family bloodline was passed down to Feng Fifth Miss. No wonder even Lord State Advisor treated Feng Fifth Miss like this.

As he said this, he reached out to help Feng Yaohua up, but Feng Yaohua took the opportunity to flip the poisoned cup of wine over with his wide sleeves.

Then, she covered her mouth in shock and sighed, "It should have been me drinking my sister's glass of wine to prove my innocence. How is it going to turn out?"

Only then did Feng Qingyu come back to her senses. Feng Yaohua had already discovered her poison wine, and a bag had fallen right under her nose.

She was afraid and resentful at the same time. Her face was somewhat distorted.

Heelian Ze was about to curry favor with Feng Yaohua, so he naturally had to help her out. "Feng Fifth Miss is Master State Advisor's disciple, she can already prove her innocence."

Nangong Chen chuckled and went straight into Feng Yaohua's ears.

In the end, Feng Yaohua had still rejected the invitation of dancing with the sword. Her foundation was not stable, and the matter of annihilating the entire Hua Family was still an open matter, so she shouldn't alert the enemy. Furthermore, the poison in her body had already sunk deep into her bones and had yet to be detoxified, so how could she dance with the sword?

When the banquet had ended and they had returned to the Censor Manor, Feng Yaohua still felt that someone was looking at her, but she couldn't find who it was.

This time, she had made a great show of herself at the palace banquet, causing the madame to look at her in a new light. First Madame and Feng Qingyu, on the other hand, viewed her as a thorn in their side.

However, she didn't care about any of that.

The insignificant Feng family was not her world.

Feng Xue chattered excitedly, "Miss, did you not see the look His Highness the Crown Prince had when he was looking at you today? Aiya, I really placed my bets on the right treasure this time. I actually bet on a treasure.

"Be careful." Feng Yaohua's heart did not waver in the slightest. How could it be as easy as Feng Xue's?

Even Feng Qingyu had spent a lot of effort in her previous life to ascend to the throne of the Empress.

When they arrived at the small parlour in the Censor's manor, Feng Xue noticed with her sharp eyes that the person standing on top of the parlour was Nangong Chen.

"The Lord of State Advisor is here to see you. Miss, your servant will take my leave first. " Feng Xue excitedly ran away faster than anyone else.

In the end, Feng Xue still lost her composure.

Feng Yaohua looked at her swiftly disappearing figure and wished that she could run away with her.

"What, aren't you happy to see this sovereign? Little disciple? " Nangong Chen emphasized the word "little disciple". Obviously, he was waiting here.

Feng Yaohua quickly forced a smile and said flattering, "How can I? Seeing your Master happy is already too late, how can you not be happy? "

She rolled her eyes. It was obvious that she had come up with some devious idea.
