Xue Fanxin hid on the roof and heard the words of Su Baifeng and the maid clearly. He sneered in his heart: Want to make a scapegoat? Dream on.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that he had indeed emptied the mineral vein.
Su Baifeng did not know that there was a couple eavesdropping on him and instructed Huangyi, “Continue investigating that Fanjiu. Once we find a little information, we can take further action. If we really can't find it, we should give up on this plan step.”
“Yes, I will put more resources into it. Fanjiu and Gu Jinyuan knew each other. As long as our people keep an eye on Gu Jinyuan, we will definitely find her,” Huangyi swore. He was smart and knew what to say to make Su Baifeng happy.
This was the reason why he could remain by Su Baifeng's side and not die like Hongyi.
"You're right. If we keep an eye on Gu Jinyuan, we will find Fanjiu.” Su Baifeng's mood improved. He sat on a stone bench and looked at the moon hanging high in the night sky. Thinking of the person in his heart, he couldn't help but let his mind go wild.
"Huangyi, do you think His Majesty still has me in his heart?"
“Nona is amazing. Your Majesty will find out sooner or later.”
“I believe that sincerity can bring success. One day, Your Majesty will understand how good I am and that I am the most suitable person to sit on the Ninth Empress' throne. His Majesty must still have me in his heart, or if not, why would he trouble the Empress? If nothing happened to the Empress, she would definitely be eyeing the Prime Minister's Residence. Then, our situation will become more complicated. Now, the Empress cannot even protect herself, so how can she control us?”
The empress was in trouble due to imperial decrees and had lost the emperor's favor. All sorts of filthy things in the Zhongyi Duchy were revealed, and their problems were no less than the Prime Minister's Residence.
Perhaps His Majesty has chosen to attack the Empress for her sake...
Xue Fanxin could only grumble at Su Baifeng. His imagination is very rich. Did she go crazy for wanting to marry Ah Jiu? Xue Fanxin looked at Ye Jiushang and questioned him with her eyes.
Ye Jiushang used his hand to gently flick Xue Fanxin's forehead, indicating that he should not think excessively.
However, Su Baifeng's wishful thinking would probably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for him, especially about the Empress. The only reason he taught the Empress a lesson was the imperial decree, it had nothing to do with Su Baifeng. It seemed like he had underestimated the imagination of a woman. Once he let his imagination run wild, he could really think of anything. Su Baifeng did not know how big of a problem his words would cause in the future. Right now, she was still engrossed in her fantasies, imagining herself as the Ninth Empress. Just thinking about it made her feel happy.
Suddenly, an ugly face broke through his beautiful dream and shattered it.
“Huangyi, Xue Fanxin has been staying in the Ninth Lord's Residence for a few days. Did something happen?”
“Nona, this is a strange problem. After Xue Fanxin moved to the Ninth Master's Residence, she chose the secluded courtyard. It seems like he never left the house until now. There was very little news about him, almost nothing. Yesterday, Sister Xue went to the Lord's Residence to meet her. In the end, for some reason, the butler said that Master had no time to see them, causing sister Xue to quarrel with Princess Yun Qiao and even fight.”
“It looks like this Xue Fanxin is not someone to be taken lightly. Watch her. I want to know where he is at all times.”
“Nona, the Ninth Lord's Residence is heavily guarded. It is very difficult for our people to know what is happening inside.”
“Then think of a way. I, Su Baifeng, will never lose to an unknown ugly monster.”
Huangyi knew that Su Baifeng was angry. Although it was difficult to sneak into the Ninth Lord's Residence, he did not dare to complain.
He really did not understand what Ninth Imperial Uncle was thinking. He did not want their beautiful Miss but wanted that ugly Xue Fanxin?
When Xue Fanxin heard Su Baifeng's words, she got angry and decided to teach him a lesson.
If you dare to call me ugly, I will make you ugly.
"What are you doing?"
“This is the itchy powder I developed with the potion I snatched from the Hundred Potions Hall during my spare time. I added some ingredients into it, increasing the effect tenfold. If I splash it on Su Baifeng's face, he will claw his own face and become an ugly monster.”
"That's a good idea, but how exactly are you going to do it?"
"This is a problem." Xue Fanxin stroked her chin and thought about how to do the deed without anyone noticing.
"Give it to me." Ye Jiushang took the bag from Xue Fanxin's hand and opened it, gently waving the itchy powder.
The itchy powder seemed to be alive and floated towards Su Baifeng along with the air, silently sticking on his face. Furthermore, it only landed on his face, not even touching Huangyi beside him.
Because it was night, despite the bright moonlight, these tiny particles were hard to see with the naked eye.
Su Baifeng felt nothing and still mocked Xue Fanxin. Only then will he feel comfortable and satisfied. “What good is Xue Fanxin? He used to like a man named Yi Tian, but somehow, he is bothering His Majesty now?”
“Varying woman. He is ugly and has no background. He was in no way qualified to stand by His Majesty's side. In fact, she is not even worthy of being His Majesty's servant.”
In truth, he really wanted to run to the Ninth Lord Residence and cause a commotion like Princess Yun Qiao, but no matter how much he thought about it, he had to suppress this urge. Otherwise, it would just ruin everything.
“Nona, it's late at night. You should go back and rest early. There are many things waiting for you to do tomorrow!” Huangyi listened to Su Baifeng's complaints about Xue Fanxin. He was tired of hearing those words again and again.
So what if Xue Fanxin is ugly? The Ninth Imperial Uncle liked it! Huangyi did not dare to say such a thing. He just mumbled it in his heart.
After venting his emotions, Su Baifeng felt much better. Right now, he suddenly felt a bit cold, and his face was also a little itchy. He listened to Huangyi's advice and decided to return to his room.
"Let's go. I still have to enter the palace tomorrow. I'll see if the emperor is willing to meet me.”
The damned Heavenly Saint Emperor had actually hidden himself after locking his father in prison. How hateful.
Seeing Su Baifeng scratching his face from time to time, Xue Fanxin was secretly delighted. As soon as the other party left, he emerged from the roof and said arrogantly, “How dare you call me ugly? I'll make you ugly.”
“Your itchy powder may not have much effect. Su Baifeng's cultivation level was not low. He was influenced by his mother and knew more about poison than any ordinary person. Your itchy powder will be cured by it in a few days,” Ye Jiushang said.
“If I can make it ugly for a few days, let it be. I will deal with him when I have the chance in the future. At that time, I will definitely develop a stronger itchy powder that will stab him to death.”
“Why should itchy powder? Can't it be another poison?”
“Ah Jiu, have you ever felt so itchy that you wanted to skin yourself?”
When little Lei heard Xue Fanxin say this when he came back, he was so scared that he almost lost his balance and fell off the roof.
Good Lord!
This woman is too cruel.
It seemed like he would have to stay away from her in the future so that she would not skin herself.
