"My dear, don't worry, there's still a way out of this." Xu Jiayi stared with evil in her eyes as she watched Feng Tianlan disappear around the corner. She said deviously, "If we can't do it in broad daylight, we'll do it under the cover of night."

"Tell me more."

Feng Xiang could only think of how Si Ming had foiled his plans just as he was about to get his hands on the token. His face was angry and hateful, and he didn't care whether his wife's plan was underhanded. He just wanted to get his hands on the Feng family treasure, reach the highest point, and rule over Guiyuan Continent.

"If we catch her in bed with Governor Shizi, do you think she'll still defy us?" Xu Jiayi said with malice.

Every time she thought about how Yu'er was still lying in bed while Feng Tianlan was happily prancing about and even protected by the emperor, she clenched her teeth out of hate. She dared not put the blame on Doctor Feng for what had happened to Yu'er, but she felt that someone had to fight back on her daughter's behalf. Otherwise, she would have been hurt in vain.

Feng Xiang did not hesitate and nodded in agreement. "Go get it done, then, as quickly as possible." That idiot emperor was now protecting Feng Tianlan, so it would be difficult to snatch the token away. By hook or by crook, he was getting that treasure.

Back at the royal palace, Eunuch De entered the study and bowed to the emperor, Si Ming. He passed along Feng Tianlan's regards before getting up. Then, he placed the ceramic bottle that Feng Tianlan had given him on the table and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Feng gave me this."

Si Ming opened the bottle, and a familiar smell hit his nose. He laughed as he threw the bottle back into Eunuch De's hands and said, "It's a Grade 5 Nurturing Pill. Since she gave it to you, just accept it."

This young lady is generous. She simply gives away something as valuable as a Grade 5 Nurturing Pill."

"But this..." Eunuch De was shocked at the generosity. "I must find a way to thank Miss Feng."

This Miss Feng was certainly generous. Not only did she not despise him because he was a mere servant, but she'd given him a Grade 5 Nurturing Pill so he could recover his health. It seemed like such a waste of an expensive item.

Si Ming rubbed his temples to ease his headache and said, "Young Master wants to save his damsel in distress but doesn't want to do it himself. Instead, he's borrowing my authority to do this. I'm so worried that if he continues like this, he's going to lose Young Mistress."

Clearly, the 'Young Master' that Si Ming was referring to was Si Mobai and the 'Young Mistress' was Feng Tianlan. If anyone was outside listening to how he addressed them, they would be shocked beyond belief. If the emperor called Si Mobai 'Young Master,' then what was his real identity?

"Young Master doesn't always appear when you expect him to. Young Master is the best of the best here, and their marriage is destined, so Miss Feng can't run away."

Si Ming grunted in reply then gave instructions: "Watch the Ding Nation courthouse closely. Then, arrange for a few suitable officials' daughters to marry Rong'er. Once his marriage has been fixed, prepare a place for him and send him out of South Peace City."

Otherwise, Si Ming knew that Rong'er would die. He really did not care for characters like Feng Xiang and Feng Xiuyu.

Eunuch De obediently responded, then told him all that he had heard at the Feng residence earlier. He asked, "Your Majesty, are we really not going to help Miss Feng?"

"Digging up a grave and flogging the corpse—I can't believe he actually said that," Si Ming snorted coldly, exuding his kingly aura and despising Feng Xiang deep in his heart. "Leave him there for Miss Feng to practice her techniques on. We'll just watch and not interfere."

It would have been easier to just kill Governor Shizi. But, if he died, then Feng Tianlan would have a bad reputation of bringing bad luck to her future husbands, so they decided against this plan.
