Chapter 4, Shared Secrets
The maid had never seen him before; the young master had been ill for a long time, rarely leaving the Blue Prince's residence. She heard from the young lady that he had been seen once, and, hmm, he is a handsome man... Cui'er looked at Fengyun's glowing little face and felt a chill deep in her heart. The seventh young lady had not brought any men back to the Feng residence for a while; could it be that she has taken a liking to Lan Xiaoqing this time? But he is the young master of the Blue Prince's residence... Feeling a chill deep in her heart, the seventh young lady had not brought any men back to the Feng residence for a while; could it be that she has taken a liking to Lan Xiaoqing this time? But he is the young master of the Blue Prince's residence...
Feng Yun lightly held a bowl full of blood in her hands, not looking back again, her small face adorned with a charming smile. Her white clothes fluttered without wind as she swiftly left the small courtyard and headed towards the main hall. The steward of the Blue King’s residence must be anxious enough to jump over the wall.
Miss Qi ... ... what ... ... happened to Zhang Bo? '' Cui Er then noticed that Zhang Bo lying on the ground was not right, and she took a few steps forward to ask in confusion.
Indeed! You have drunk it all, leaving me just this little bit. I haven't had a single sip!" Fengyun looked at Zhang Bo's pale old face and reproached him, saying: "If I hadn't stopped you quickly, I fear even this little bit would be gone.
"It is! Miss Seven!" Cui Er felt a cold sweat break out all over her body. ... Today's secret is that Miss Seven cooked two snakes in that large pot, and coincidentally, the red lotus red snake of Young Master Anyue cannot be found today ...
Hmm! Since you have noted it down, just go ahead! Fengyunqing looked at the soup in the pot, continuously scooping it up with a spoon, pouring it out, repeating the same action over and over again, seemingly not feeling tired at all
The fiery red crown of the snake, under the blazing sun, radiates a red glow; is it not the crown of the red lotus red snake that accompanies the moon among the clouds
Hmm! This bowl of blood was released from my wrist, not from Zhang Bo's wrist, do you understand?" Feng Yun chuckled lightly as he looked at Cui Er, his eyes filled with laughter.
Hmm, found it! Fengyun nodded slightly. She reached into her bosom and pulled out the dagger, then took a large bowl from the small table beside her. Once again, she crouched down, and amidst Cui'er’s exclamations, she seized Zhang Bo's wrist, and with a swift motion of the knife, a cut was made, and bright red blood gushed out, which she deftly caught in the bowl.
"No, Miss Qi, I... I came to find Zhang Bo. Young Master Banyu has already gone to the Blue Prince's residence. The steward at the Blue Prince's residence is anxiously pacing in the hall, saying he is waiting to receive those two red lotus red-banded snakes..." Cui'er said hurriedly
Hmm! Fengyun nodded slightly. That's right, it is indeed two red lotus red-bellied snakes. This old man is not beyond saving yet
"The old servant takes his leave!" Zhang Bo silently repeated it twice, feeling that he had memorized it. He gave a slight bow to Feng Yunqing and turned to walk back. After taking just two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, and looked at Feng Yunqing in panic: "Seventh Miss, did you say... did you say there are two red lotus red-bellied snakes here?"
Hmm! As long as he is a handsome man!" Fengyun chuckled lightly, her delicate face adorned with makeup radiating an unparalleled charm. She took a couple of steps while holding the bowl, seemingly recalling something, and turned back to the stunned Cui'er, saying: "Cui'er, do you really not want to stay by my side?"
Zhang Burton was momentarily at a loss for words, staring at the soup in the large pot: "So... where is the snake..."
Hmm! Fengyun lightly responded, still staring at Zhang Bo's face, and fell silent again. What he was thinking was how this old man, with such a large beard, could be so easily agitated
Miss Qi, what is this... Today, Cui'er has suffered quite a severe injury. Upon seeing Fengyunqing's movements, I couldn't help but exclaim. The bright red blood flowed from her wrinkled wrist. The vivid red color was exceptionally striking
Startled, Cui'er looked at Zhang Bo, who lay unconscious on the ground, and then at the bowl held delicately by Fengyunqing. Although she was somewhat confused, she was a perceptive person and immediately said: "This servant understands"
"Having drunk too much snake soup, I fell asleep!" Fengyun glanced at Cui'er and stood up from his crouched position: "Did you say that Yun Banyue went to the Blue King’s residence?"
Uh... Zhang Bozhang's mouth instantly froze open, large enough to fit a winter melon. His old face suddenly lost all color, and he could no longer find his voice: "The soup... this soup... I drank it all?"
This small courtyard is quiet, so quiet that one can only hear the firewood crackling under the large pot, quickly burning the remaining little bit of soup completely dry
The Red Lotus Red Scale Snake is a rare gem among snakes, a treasure that is difficult to obtain in this world. ... The old Red Lotus Red Scale Snake raised by the Young Master of the Moon is even more exceptional, nurtured for years with Tianshan Snow Lotus, and has consumed countless precious medicinal herbs from around the world ...
Miss Seven, what is this..." Cui'er released her hand from her mouth and looked at the blood
"The snakes have all been stewed into soup!" Feng Yunqing immediately said. He extended a spoon to scoop up the two fiery red snake crowns from the bottom of the large pot and handed them to Zhang Bo, saying: "Here! Look, there are only these two crowns left."
Miss Seven ... ... this ... ... this ... ... '' Zhang Bo, with his thin body, retreated in terror, only to hear a loud bang, and then there was no more sound
Hmm! Everything that happened today is a secret between the two of us! You should feel honored to share a secret with me! Because my secrets have always been known only to me. Fengyun chuckled lightly, turning to continue walking forward, her gentle voice came through: "Actually, I really want to have you by my side! It's just that seeing your loyalty to the elder sister allowed me to grant you this. Take Zhang Bo back and take good care of him. I will go to the Blue King's residence to see if Young Master Lan is available."
Looking at the figure of Fengyunqing, and then at the large pot that has already burned dry, under the blazing sun, Cui'er only feels a chill all over her body
"What do you mean I ate it?" Fengyun looked at the old man, her hand that was scooping the soup suddenly paused, her face, covered in powder, raised an eyebrow in displeasure: "This large pot of soup is mostly what you just drank."
The young lady's kindness towards the maid is as heavy as a mountain, the maid... " Cui'er immediately replied, her heart rising to her throat.
Zhang Bo? Zhang Bo... After calling for a long time, the old man still did not wake up. Feng Yun looked at him, his face covered in powder, and it was almost impossible to tell that his eyebrows were black; his white eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Two individuals, an old man and a young girl, with the old man lying on the ground and the girl displaying a sorrowful expression. This scene has become a rare sight in this small courtyard.
I have heard that Lan Xiaoqing is a beauty? Feng Yunqing's face, adorned with makeup, was full of excitement, and her eyes sparkled when she spoke of the beauty.
I hope that Lan Xiaoqing can truly live long enough to deliver blood to him! It seems quite worth considering to take the heir of the Lan Wangfu into her Cangjiao Pavilion.
The small face, covered in powder, twitched at the corners of the mouth. Feng Yunqing looked at Zhang Bo, whose old face remained pale even in unconsciousness, and whose old eyes were wide open, resembling a dead person unable to close their eyes. "Zhang Bo?" Feng Yunqing crouched down, reaching out to check the old man's breath. If he were truly dead, this matter would be settled once and for all. A frame-up or something similar, handing this old man over to the Blue King’s residence, would likely mean she would have nothing to do with it anymore. "Zhang Bo?"

Miss Seven! Mr. Zhang!" The hurriedly returning Cui'er rushed in, and upon seeing two people, one lying and the other squatting in the courtyard, she was momentarily taken aback. However, recalling the urgency of the situation, she did not bother to pay her respects and urgently called out.
Upon thinking of this, Zhang Bo's old face turned even paler than paper as he looked at Feng Yun with a grave expression
Oh, it is Cui'er! Do you want to eat that snake soup again? Unfortunately, you came back too late; it has all been drunk up by Uncle Zhang
What is all the fuss about? Have you never seen bloodletting? Fengyun lightly rubbed Zhang Bo's wrist, and the blood immediately flowed back. She stood up, holding a bowl full of blood, and shot a glance at Cui'er.
Indeed! But I didn't pour it into your mouth! You took it for yourself. Fengyun nodded lightly, looking quite innocent, and said: "Regardless, all this soup has gone into your stomach! I didn't get to drink a single drop."
Two red lotus red-bellied snakes... the old servant has noted it down! Zhang Bo leaned in with his ear, his pair of old eyes fixed on the little bit of soup left in the pot, and upon hearing Fengyun's light words, he nodded in agreement. He thought to himself that he must catch two snakes to stew when he returns.
This... this... Miss Seven... is it you who brought the soup to my lips...'' Zhang Bo did not forget that it was Feng Yunqing who had forcefully made him drink the soup.
Feng Yunqing was taken aback, only to see Elder Zhang suddenly collapse to the ground and lose consciousness.
However, it seems that this old man is still alive. Fengyunqing let out a sigh from the depths of his heart due to the shattering of his beautiful dream
Indeed! Miss Seven, Young Master Lan's life is in imminent danger, and Young Master Ban Yue has already left!" Cui Er nodded and immediately said: "Miss Seven, has Uncle Zhang found those two snakes? Young Master Lan is quite anxious!
Miss Seven, you... you actually ate the Red Lotus Crimson Snake of Young Master Banyu?" Because of drinking the snake soup, her flushed old face suddenly turned pale, and Zhang Bo's pair of old eyes nearly bulged out, looking in terror at the soup in the large pot, then in terror at Fengyunqing's hand as she gently scooped the soup.
