"Miss, take a look!" Su Yue quickly handed the jade pendant to Feng Qiqi.
This jade pendant was carved into a lifelike dragon using natural bloodstone. Feng Qiqi could guess that it was a gift from Mingyue Cheng to Feng Xiao. The bloodstone was extremely precious, and it was carved in the shape of a dragon. Could there be a deeper meaning behind it?
Feng Qiqi had her doubts, but she did not voice them. She kept the bloodstone and put it aside.
Gu Yunwan stayed in the Regent's Residence and became familiar with everyone within two days.
Wanyan Mingyue liked Gu Yunwan's straightforwardness. Gu Yunwan had lost her mother at a young age, so she liked Wanyan Mingyue's closeness. In the end, Wanyan Mingyue took her in as her goddaughter, and Gu Yunwan changed from the Empress Dowager of the Southern Phoenix Nation to Princess Mingyue's goddaughter.
As Feng Qiqi was in confinement and gave birth in winter, she had been lying in bed ever since Feng Xiao was born. Gu Yunwan came to Tingsong Tower every day to check on Feng Xiao's body.
What made Gu Yunwan curious was that Feng Xiao's parasite had accumulated in his lower abdomen. The child parasite behaved like an obedient child, which did not match the parasite's personality at all. However, this was fine. As long as the parasite did not act up, there was no need to rush to the Southern Phoenix Nation, and Feng Qiqi could rest.
"Feng Xiao is a good child!" Gu Yunwan played with Feng Xiao's little finger. She especially liked children, not to mention that Feng Xiao was so cute. Every time she saw her, Feng Xiao would be especially happy, making Gu Yunwan feel that she and Feng Xiao were fated, and she loved Feng Xiao from the bottom of her heart.
Feng Qiqi was relieved to see how much Gu Yunwan liked Feng Xiao. It was said that the Gui clan would not treat outsiders casually. Gu Yunwan was the daughter of the Gui clan's leader, and since she liked Feng Xiao so much, she might speak up for them in front of Good.
Feng Xiao had a child parasite in his body, so Feng Qiqi doted on him a lot. She felt that she owed him something and had to do everything herself.
Dongfang Lan had wanted to find a few nannies to take care of Feng Xiao. The children of the royal family were usually raised by nannies. However, Feng Qiqi politely declined. She wanted to feed Feng Xiao herself, and since she had plenty of milk, Dongfang Lan did not insist.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. To Feng Qiqi, life during the confinement period consisted of eating, sleeping, and nursing the child. Feng Cang knew that she was a new mother, and he did not want to disturb the two of them. As such, he kept the people who came to congratulate them in the front yard, not allowing them to see Feng Qiqi and the child.
Today was Feng Xiao's full moon. According to tradition, there was a banquet for guests during the full moon.
Feng Cang was the regent while Feng Qiqi was the princess of the Zhenguo Kingdom. Just these two points alone were more than enough to drive many people to their doorstep. The officials knew how capable Feng Cang was, not to mention that Feng Qiqi was the only daughter of Feng Xie and Wanyan Mingyue. To put it bluntly, the stability of the Northern Zhou Dynasty depended on the Feng family. Currently, the Feng family was the most prestigious family in Beizhou. Everyone wanted to get close to Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi. Anything that had anything to do with the Feng family was something to be proud of.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! "
Even though Feng Cang had already cleared out a lot of space, there were simply too many people who had come to congratulate him. The front hall of the mansion was filled with guests who had come to congratulate him. Feng Qi and Feng Yu were so busy that they did not even have time to rest. Wanyan Mingyue and Feng Xie were busy greeting the old officials.
"May I ask where the toilet is?" A rich lady stopped a maid in the mansion. Judging from her expression, she seemed to have eaten something wrong and had a stomachache.
"Go out from here and head east. You'll see a small courtyard and then …"
"You're making it too complicated. I'm getting confused. Why don't you bring me there?" The lady looked kind, but because of her stomachache, she was very anxious. Seeing that the lady was in such a state, the maid quickly brought her to the toilet.
Along the way, the lady chatted with the maid in a friendly tone.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Xiao Fang." Xiao Fang smiled. Apart from Feng Qiqi and Wanyan Mingyue in the mansion, this was the first time she had met such a friendly lady.
Even though the noblewomen usually acted respectfully in front of Feng Cang, they were all arrogant and cold behind his back. They didn't even bother to speak to someone like her, let alone chat with her. Therefore, Xiaofang felt that the noblewoman before her was very amiable.
"What a nice name! Xiao Fang, how long have you been in the mansion? "
"Madam, I'm a servant of the mansion. I grew up in the mansion."
"Oh …" The lady admired the beautiful scenery of the mansion as they walked. "I heard that the Prince Regent dotes on the princess of the kingdom. Is that true?"
Xiao Fang's eyes lit up at the mention of Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi. "Madam, you've heard about it too! His Highness dotes on His Highness the most! His Highness even promised His Highness that he would only be with him for the rest of his life. There are very few people like His Highness in this world! However, His Highness is also very nice. She's beautiful and kind. When she stands with His Highness, they look like a pair made in heaven! "
Xiao Fang was happily telling the story of Feng Qiqi and Feng Cang to the lady. She did not notice the sparks in the lady's eyes when she heard her story. After walking for a while, the two of them arrived at the toilet.
"Madam, we're here …"
Before Xiao Fang could finish her words, she suffered a heavy blow on her neck. Before she could even scream, she had already fallen to the ground.
Seeing that there was no one around, the lady dragged Xiao Fang to the side, took off her clothes, and put them on herself. After that, she untied her hair and dressed herself up like a maid. After taking out a copper mirror to make sure that she looked no different from the maids in the mansion, the lady reached out and strangled Xiao Fang's neck.
With a cracking sound, Xiao Fang's cervical vertebrae were broken. Just like that, a vibrant life lost its vitality.
Seeing that there was no one around, the lady dragged Xiao Fang's corpse to the toilet and carefully placed her into the bucket of feces. When the feces covered Xiao Fang's pale face, the lady sneered coldly and walked out of the toilet.
Along the way, she had asked Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi about a lot of things, such as where they lived and what kind of servants they had. She managed to get all of them out of Xiaofang. Following Xiaofang's instructions, the maidservant headed toward Tingsong Tower.
