Feng Yu Heng looked in the direction of her finger. She had to look very, very carefully to see two strange things squeezed in the crevice under the eaves.
She was curious and walked two more steps in that direction. It wasn't until she stood under the eaves that she discovered that they were two birds that were only the size of her little finger. They were completely green and had sharp beaks.
Yin Lan said, "Concubine An calls them Jadeite. Originally, she just raised them for fun. The people who saw them at most felt that they were a bit novel and didn't think much of it. But one day, I saw these two birds fly out of the palace and didn't return for the whole night. I thought they wouldn't come back, but when the sun came up, they quietly returned under the eaves. If I didn't pay attention, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find them. As for the Fifth Prince, he has too many concubines in his palace. But in my impression, he did bring a foreign woman into the palace to see concubine An. He feels that he owes concubine An. Any request of concubine An, the Fifth Prince will agree. "
Yin Lan spoke to this point and did not continue. Feng Yu Heng also did not ask any further. She just stared at the two birds and began to feel puzzled.
If she wasn't mistaken, this was a hummingbird. It was a species of bird that lived in South America and was the smallest bird in the world. But she wasn't very sure because hummingbirds appeared in the capital of Dashun. The climate conditions weren't enough to support their survival. It was just that they looked very similar to hummingbirds.
She reached out her hand. Her fingers seemed to move randomly, but in reality, they were moving in an orderly manner. When she stopped, she was more than eighty percent sure of her guess.
This bird wasn't an ordinary bird that was raised for fun. She tested it with her fingers and found that it had undergone special training. This kind of bird was very easy to train. Its intelligence was generally higher than that of dogs. The training period was also twice as short as that of police dogs. In addition, it was a bird. It could move freely in the sky and on the ground. With such a small body, the target range was greatly reduced. This kind of thing was simply a good tool for committing crimes.
Feng Yu Heng's gaze slightly contracted. When she turned back, Huang Quan told her, "Concubine An woke up. Yin Lan hid. Miss, do you think there's something wrong with the bird? "
She looked at the two birds again. At this time, one of them was flying with a small stone in its mouth. It circled around in the air twice, then suddenly spread its wings and flew straight up into the sky. Not long after, the stone that was picked up fell from the sky and landed precisely in a well in the courtyard. The other bird that didn't move imitated it. It picked up a stone and flew into the sky. Similarly, it threw the stone into the well.
"Did you see that?" She smirked. "How accurate!"
Huang Quan's gaze also froze. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a palace maid run forward. She bowed and said: "Reporting to county princess, concubine An niangniang has woken up. She wants to see you."
Feng Yu Heng nodded and followed the palace maid back to An pin's bedroom.
At this time, An pin had already been combed by the servants and changed into new clothes. She was sitting on the couch, her hands gently rubbing her temples. She sighed from time to time.
Feng Yu Heng walked forward and bowed with Huang Quan: "Heng pays respect to concubine An niangniang." She had a smile on her face, but her voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.
An pin had never attended a banquet in the palace in recent years. She had only heard of Feng Yu Heng, this county princess Ji An, but had never seen her. But the servants told her that it was county princess Ji An who treated her insanity. Out of courtesy, she had to say thanks.
"Quickly get up." She gently raised her hand. The palace maid next to her helped Feng Yu Heng up. Then she said: "Give her a seat."
After Feng Yu Heng gave her thanks, she calmly sat down. When she raised her head to look at An pin, she saw a trace of evasion in the other's gaze. She sneered in her heart. Turning her head, she saw the fruit on the table. She said: "I came in a hurry today and didn't prepare any gifts for niangniang. Niangniang, don't blame me. It's good for niangniang to eat more fruit. Next time, Heng will remember to send niangniang more. It will save san ge from trouble every day. "
An pin shuddered. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that there was a hidden meaning in this yatou's words. But as for what it meant, she only dared to guess. She didn't dare to ask.
Feng Yu Heng saw that An pin did not speak, so she smiled and said: "Just now, I was playing with the birds in the yard with the servant. I was thinking that niangniang's body is weak, but you raised the two jade bees to be very clever. Those birds can fly back and forth in a radius of 100 li. It shouldn't be a problem, right?" As she spoke, she leaned forward, looking straight at An pin, "Even if they fly into the clouds, they can accurately throw a pebble into the well below. With the intelligence of the hummingbird, it shouldn't be hard to tame them like this. But I don't know where niangniang obtained such a rare bird. It really opened Heng Heng's eyes. " As she spoke, she pulled her body back. Leaning against the back of the chair, she spoke as if she was chatting about daily life: "It seems that I will need to travel more in the inner palace in the future. It will also prevent his Highness Prince Yu from saying that my knowledge is lacking."
An pin subconsciously moved deeper into the couch. Her face was pale. It was clear that she had received a shock.
The palace servants at her side did not understand why An pin would have such a reaction. They just thought that her illness was about to relapse, so they quickly said to Feng Yu Heng: "County princess, quickly examine niangniang. Don't let her illness relapse again."
Feng Yu Heng very frankly stood up and sat next to An pin's couch. Reaching out, she held her wrist. Even if An pin struggled, she could not break free.
"It's fine. Perhaps the charcoal in this room is too hot, so niangniang's mind is not very clear. You should reduce the charcoal by half. If the room is cooler, it will be beneficial for niangniang's recovery."
In reality, there was not much charcoal in this room. If it was reduced by half, it would be too cold. But Feng Yu Heng was a doctor. How could the palace servants know anything else. They only knew that county princess Ji An was famous. What she said was definitely correct, so they quickly went to scatter the charcoal.
Who knew if it was because of the cold or because of the shock, but her body continued to tremble. She wanted to pull her wrist out of Feng Yu Heng's grasp a few times, but she did not succeed. She panicked and opened her mouth to ask: "What do you want to do?"
Feng Yu Heng finally let go of her hand, but said: "Nothing. I just want to remind niangniang that the room should not be too hot. Otherwise, your mind will not be clear. I have long heard that His Highness the fifth prince has a qie from Nan Jiang. The people of Nan Jiang are the best at studying strange poisons. Presumably, His Highness the fifth prince has learned a lot from them? "
An pin's heart trembled. Feng Yu Heng had already said this much. It was useless for her to play dumb. Everyone said that county princess Ji An was very powerful. Seeing it today, she was indeed worthy of the evaluation she had heard.
An pin was no longer afraid. She turned her gaze to Feng Yu Heng. A beat later, she suddenly said: "It's not good to be too smart."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "It's even worse to be too stupid. Things cannot be avoided by hiding. When the storm comes, I can only face it head-on. If there is no path, then I will open a new path. I am just like this. I don't care about anything and leave no way out. I want to see, in the end, whether I live or they die! " She stood up and coldly stared at An pin, "I don't care where you got the emerald hummingbird. I also don't care who secretly trained the bird. I also don't care how that person persuaded you to help. I also don't care how you forced His Highness the fifth prince to help you. I don't care about the process, I only care about the results. I saved the 30 thousand soldiers of the Northwest Army for several days and nights. After that, I was so tired that I slept for several days and nights. I will remember this debt! "
Concubine An was extremely shocked. She never thought that Feng Yu Heng would actually tear at her face so directly. She was accustomed to speaking in a roundabout manner. She would stop when she had reached a certain point. After that, she would plot against her a few times. When women fought to the death, it was all done in secret.
But this county princess Ji An had placed everything on the surface, leaving her with no place to hide. There was also no path to hide from.
The palace maid next to An pin was also frightened. Although she didn't understand, she could guess most of it. It must be that concubine An had offended county princess Ji An. Had county princess Ji An come to get revenge?
Feng Yu Heng looked at An pin for a while. Her smiling face rose again. Then she looked at the palace maid next to her and said: "What this county princess said to your niangniang today, you can go tell the empress or the emperor. But you better think it over carefully. Not to mention the emperor and empress don't like An pin, even if they do, you should think about whose army the Northwest Army belongs to! You dared to provoke His Ninth Highness, An pin — — you are courting death! "
She fiercely threw down this last sentence and turned to leave. Huang Quan also fiercely glared at An pin, then quickly followed Feng Yu Heng. The two people walked out of the palace. Huang Quan then said: "So it was An pin who poisoned the army. I really didn't expect it. But why would she poison the camp?"
Feng Yu Heng told her: "Yesterday, I entered the palace with His Highness the ninth prince. First, I saw Hong Yi mixed in with the group of palace maids in Qing An Palace. After that, I heard the female officials in the central palace say that concubine An has always been crazy over the years, blaming her loss of favor on the fifth prince, but the third prince treats her extremely well. From time to time, he would send food and clothing to Qing An Palace. Before the New Year, we were inquiring about the women in the fifth prince's palace. We heard that there was a beauty from Nan Jiang. At that time, I became suspicious, but there was no evidence. Today, I saw those two birds again. What else is there to be unclear? "
Huang Quan angrily gritted her teeth. Blue veins popped out on her forehead: "That third prince treats An pin well because he likes her birds. His Highness's camp is heavily guarded. If he wants to make a move, he can only use this kind of crooked idea. Generally speaking, there are many people who raise eagles and vultures, but those things are too big. The target is obvious. Thinking about it this way, if it was An pin's two emerald birds, it really wouldn't be easy to find. "
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly. Wasn't that right? Those two small birds flew high in the sky. How idle would the soldiers below be to see them?
"Miss, how are you going to deal with An pin?" Huang Quan thought for a moment, then said: "There's also the fifth prince."
Feng Yu Heng shrugged: "I don't need to deal with them. Those two can torture themselves to death. Let's wait and see. If Hong Yi wants me to help her live, she will definitely make a move. Let's just watch a play and see how the mother and son kill each other. "
As the two talked, they walked in the direction of the palace gate. When they passed through Yong Lane and walked down the horse path, they suddenly felt a swift attack coming from the front left.
Huang Quan instantly flashed in front of Feng Yu Heng, but heard Feng Yu Heng say: "Old friends meet. How can they always be so hostile?"
