Chapter 8: The Truth Will Be Revealed in Three Days

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng lowered his head. Xiao Lingyao had thoroughly investigated his background; if she truly wanted to deal with him, it would be child's play: "The commoner does not dare."

In the Return Pavilion, Qin Feng had already resumed his seated position. Feng Bao slipped in and, seeing his expression unchanged, asked, "Young Master, who was that official from the palace just now? He appeared quite distinguished."

Feng Bao had followed Qin Feng for several years and had already learned about seventy to eighty percent of his slickness, immediately nodding and saying: "Yes, Feng Bao remembers."

Xiao Lingyao's hand lingered in the air for a moment, and seeing that he truly had no intention of accepting, she retracted her hand with a look of disappointment: "Since Doctor Qin is so courteous, it seems I have been the one to overstep."

Xiao Lingya smiled faintly, disregarding her status, leaned forward, and whispered in Qin Feng's ear: "The current Empress is not my biological mother; her intent to harm me has never ceased. The palace is even more dangerous for me; I must leave the palace to preserve my life"

Before he could savor the joy, the names of the businesses he secretly owned flashed before his eyes, with Yu Chun Lou and Hong Yu Lou prominently listed among them. A group of officials and soldiers burst in, turning everything upside down, while the cries of the staff and young women filled the air, creating a scene of utter misery

The once top courtesan, Chun Niang, was also taken in by him and became the head of the Hongyu Building, known for her prominent status.

Qin Feng detected the subtle sarcasm in her words, which was a mockery of his lack of courage; it was merely a provocation. He couldn't be bothered to respond, as the psychiatrist from his previous workplace was a close friend, and such tricks were nothing more than child's play in his eyes

Qin Feng was unable to make a judgment and clasped his hands, saying: "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. However, this matter is of great importance, and I would like to consider it carefully before reporting back to Your Highness. Please rest assured, I will not mention today's events to anyone else."

A year ago, your clinic received a severely injured horse trader in the middle of the night. To be honest, he was one of my people. You allowed him to stay at the clinic for observation, but he noticed the subtle details of the clinic without alarming anyone, and later reported back to me

Over the past year, witnessing the increasing number of businesses under Qin Feng, even the first brothel in Sui City, Hongyu Tower, has been acquired by him

In the latter half of the night, Qin Feng no longer needed to act; he fell into a deep sleep, yet his dreams were tumultuous, preventing him from resting peacefully throughout the night

Even when it comes to Feng Bao, he would remain tight-lipped, ensuring that he would never let himself make a mistake

Feng Baodan was not insignificant, but under the intense pressure from those two, he cautiously glanced at Xiao Lingyao's back, not daring to look at her face. Just that one glance made him feel that she was a person of great nobility.

I only brought you to Yuchun mhetushu.com for a meal today, and we encountered a former patient who, in gratitude, invited us into the Guailaige. Remember that. Qin Feng did not respond directly, but instead provided a series of explanations

She changed her tone and said calmly: "If you do not use my cloth, then find a piece of red cloth that is one foot long to hang up there. If I do not see the red cloth in three days, I will turn the page today. I hope Doctor Qin will keep his mouth shut and avoid bringing trouble upon himself."

Having never held an official position and being of slight build, yet achieving such accomplishments in just three years while keeping the Grand Tutor's residence completely unaware, is indeed impressive. "Xiao Lingyao thought of Qin Feng's every move, a smile revealing her dimples at the corners of her mouth: 'He is an interesting person'

Soon, one can sit leisurely atop the mountains of gold and silver, accompanied by a group of servants and maids. A large plaque reading "Qin Residence" hangs over the spacious estate, signifying that one has established independence and finally possesses a personal residence

Qin Feng felt a moment of embarrassment. Even in ordinary times, women should exercise caution. If such a thing is given to a man, it either signifies a commitment or an overt flirtation. This princess, however, is quite bold, relying on the fact that she dares not speak carelessly outside, yet still engages in such audacious actions

It is impossible to say that she is in love; is she just teasing herself

What do you think, Your Highness?" The beautiful noblewoman's voice was calm yet carried a hint of skepticism: "Can this person truly assist Your Highness in achieving great things? There are many sons of officials in Sui City; why must you seek out someone who has never held an official position, and is merely a merchant?

"Your Highness, after allowing this commoner to become the prince consort, there must be more benefits than just being able to leave the palace and having an independent princess's residence, right?" Qin Feng said with a cold smile, "What exactly are you plotting, Your Highness? If you cannot disclose your intentions, how can there be trust, and how can we cooperate without any gaps?"

Then the outcome will be clear in three days

Xiao Lingyao's eyebrows twitched, yet this pie that fell down did not knock him out!

There is light in her bright eyes, and the corners of her lips rise: "Indeed, a gentleman."

Xiao Lingya secretly scolded Qin Feng for being cunning and said calmly: "This matter is indeed extraordinary. Once you accept it, the days of the past will be gone forever. Moreover, to defeat the nine candidates ahead of you and ascend to the position of the prince consort, you will have to shed several layers of skin"

Qin Feng dares to risk all his wealth; this is an act to test him! Let us see if he is a man of integrity.

A medical clinic conceals hidden mechanisms and some peculiar objects, yet its owner is the ailing second son of the Qin Grand Tutor's residence

If you come to understand, within three days, tie this red cloth to the tree in that courtyard from that night, and I will know at a glance. Xiao Lingyao took out a piece of red cloth scented with rouge from her bosom, and with a half-smile, pushed it in front of him: "Doctor Qin, please keep it well."

Xiao Lingya realized that this Young Master Qin was intentionally concealing his abilities. Out of curiosity, she instructed her subordinates to investigate. To her surprise, Qin Feng was quite remarkable. As the investigation progressed, she became increasingly interested and decided to keep one person specifically assigned to monitor every move of Qin Feng.

She dares to give, but he must also dare to accept; accepting it would indeed be a grave transgression

The queen is truly not her biological mother? This is in stark contrast to what is commonly believed. Indeed, the palace walls are high and deep; one should not believe everything without question. Alternatively, perhaps this princess is merely deceiving him

However, Qin Feng had other thoughts in mind. This pampered princess had spies around her; it was unclear whether the Emperor and the various princes were aware of this. What purpose did she have in keeping so many spies? Upon further reflection, he felt a slight headache.

A guillotine suddenly swung towards his neck, blood gushing forth. Qin Feng felt a chill at his neck, abruptly opened his eyes, and felt a coldness on his back

The old man fell silent, focusing on driving the carriage alongside the groom, and the carriage soon disappeared from the street

Once they entered the carriage, Xiao Lingyao took out the red cloth from earlier. This piece of red cloth was precisely the material used by women to make intimate garments. Qin Feng, who ran a fabric business, recognized it at a glance but stubbornly refused to accept it.

He is now on guard against her; she feels both displeased and extremely excited. Such a person, if utilized by wwwhetushu.com, will undoubtedly become a powerful asset

In this world, Qin Feng has also reached the age of twenty, without any concubines and unacquainted with matters of men and women. However, in another world, he has had a girlfriend and has watched action films. Staring at this piece of red cloth, he dared not approach it, burying his head low and saying, "The commoner does not dare!"

The next day, his condition at the medical clinic appeared normal, but he returned home earlier than usual. That night, he claimed to have caught a chill and coughed incessantly, going to bed early. When the maid from the main branch of the family came to check on him, she could hear the persistent coughing from outside the room, which made her believe it.

The seal was hanging, and the business was completely absent. Qin Feng found himself once again in the desolate streets of Sui City, surrounded by silence. In the distance, a thin mist enveloped the area, and a person approached in a carriage—it was the elegantly dressed Xiao Lingyao. She looked down from her elevated position, continuously sneering.

Putting down the words, Xiao Lingyao closed her fan, stood up, and with a swift motion opened the door. The eunuch outside immediately approached, with three people in front and two behind, they exited the Yuchun Building and boarded an inconspicuous carriage.

He is astute, yet there is no smile on Qin Feng's face, as if a pair of hands were gripping his throat, leaving him gasping for breath

This red cloth appears to be fabric used for sewing women's garments, resembling a small dress

Qin Feng was taken aback; this was a royal secret. This prince truly regarded him as one of his own, to actually speak of it!
