It turned out that there was indeed a deployment, and she remembered that on the way back to Beijing, Sun Niangniang had mentioned it before. In recent years, Feng Jin Yuan had raised many dark guards. These dark guards were all without parents, wives or children, and they only obeyed Feng Jin Yuan's arrangements. That is to say, the dark guard served only Feng Jin Yuan, not the entire Feng Mansion.

  She couldn't determine how many hidden guards were in the courtyard, but she also couldn't stay frozen here forever. The study had someone walking back and forth inside, which meant that the matter at hand had disrupted Feng Jin Yuan's original plan, disordered his mind, and made him restless.

  Feng Yu Huan also felt somewhat uneasy, her hand unconsciously reaching for the Phoenix Fetal Mark, and in an instant, her consciousness entered the pharmacy.

  There was a military-grade high-powered telescope in the cabinet of the rest room, half an arm long, which she had brought back from her unit years ago, and it just came in handy now.

  She took out that telescope and hid her body in the gap of the fake mountain, only then did she raise the telescope to her eyes.

  One at eight o'clock direction, one at ten o'clock direction, twelve o'clock, two o'clock, four o'clock...

  The deployment of Songyuan's dark guards was very orderly, in a semi-enclosed state, protecting the garden tightly. But there was no gate! A clever person would not let their place be completely watertight, and would always leave a breakthrough to wait for someone with ulterior motives to come uninvited.

  Unfortunately, Feng Yu Heng was a thoughtful person who had not only a mind for planning, but also the skills to back it up, as well as a portable space that could be used for cheating.

  She flung the telescope back into the pharmacy, calculated the distance, moved stealthily, and circled around the outermost circle of arborvitae to ambush the study from behind. Every time she entered the range of a dark guard's vision, she immediately hid her figure in space.

  The function of this space has been thoroughly understood by her on the way to escape to Beijing, not only can she use her mind to take out things at will, but also people can directly enter. As long as you touch the phoenix fetus with your hand, and move your heart, the whole person will enter it in the blink of an eye.

  But going in, it's not just a static space. She tried every time she entered the middle door of the pharmacy on the first floor, and no matter whether she walked left or right, the distance inside the space was equal to the actual distance outside.

  That is to say, walking to the left end in space and reappearing in the real environment will also move left by the corresponding number of steps.

  If she goes up to the second floor, she must go down the stairs to get out, otherwise it's very likely that she'll end up in mid-air and land on her butt.

  Feng Yu Huan calculated accurately and entered the surveillance range of a dark guard, then hid in space, walked to the far left, and came out again, just in time to be another blind spot.

  After such alternations, a total of five rounds, finally touched the back window of the study.

  She didn't mean to break the window paper, and she never believed that the window paper was obviously poked through by someone's finger, and the owner of the room still didn't suspect after discovering it.

  Re-entered the space and went straight up to the second floor. When I came out again, I was already on the roof of the study room.

  She crouched on the rubble, using her still relatively flexible body to lower herself as much as possible, and carefully lifted a tile, opening up a fist-sized skylight in the roof of the study.

  Feng Jin Yuan paced back and forth inside the room, never stopping. Beside him stood a man with his head bowed, wearing a dark blue short robe, with a sword at his waist, slender and neat, likely a secret guard.

  Feng Yu held her breath and pressed her ear against the skylight, trying to listen in on what the two would say next. But this movement lasted for nearly a whole incense stick's worth of time, and inside, apart from footsteps, there wasn't a single other sound.

  She felt a bit stifled and turned her head back to look, just as Feng Jin Yuan stopped pacing and said to the dark guard: "Investigate again."

  An Wei bowed his head: "Yes sir." He opened the door and disappeared in a flash.

  Feng Yu Huan was a bit more energetic now, would she try again? Then she would wait again.

  Of course, she couldn't stay on the roof, so she covered herself with tiles and slipped into the pharmacy, made a cup of chrysanthemum tea for herself, and sat for about an hour before reappearing.

  It was still in the same position, and the skylight that had been opened earlier was still open. After waiting for a short while, the dark guard returned to the study again.

  "Sir, the letter has been confirmed. The Ninth Prince was severely injured in the last battle in the northwest, both legs are completely disabled, his face is completely destroyed, and after being treated by the imperial physician this afternoon, there is no hope for him to have children."

  Bang!

  The girl's heart sank suddenly, and her body followed, the sound of shattering tiles startling the hidden guards inside. She felt a gust of wind brush against her face, and subconsciously covered the opened tile back to its original place, hiding herself in the space.

  The dark guard's sword had already been drawn as he chased onto the rooftop, but unexpectedly found that there wasn't even half a person's shadow on it.

  He had been practicing martial arts for many years and was particularly skilled at hiding. His keen intuition told him that someone had indeed been lying on top of it just now, and he could still faintly sense the presence of a person.

  But now in front of me is indeed empty and desolate, let alone a person, even a single strand of hair cannot be seen.

  He furrowed his brow and heard Feng Jin Yuan shouting from below: "Can Yang, come back."

  In a flash, he returned to the house, and after a while, the candles in the house went out. Feng Jin Yuan left with his hands behind his back, and the remaining sunlight hid again in the corner.

  Feng Yu Huan borrowed space to leave Songyuan, and only felt at ease when she was out of the range of Songyuan before reappearing. She still chose a small path to head back.

  This time, her mood was different from when she came. The words of the dark guard and the two seriously injured legs of the purple lotus man in the deep mountains of the northwest alternated in her mind.

  Feng Yu Huan clearly remembered that night in the mountains when she and the old doctor had put the man's legs back together. She had also taken note of the old doctor's technique for setting bones, which was absolutely reliable. Moreover, it was her own handiwork to fix them, so as long as there were no major accidents, those two legs would be able to recover in just three or four months at most. Even if it was less than a month now and he couldn't walk on the ground like normal people, it was absolutely impossible for him to be diagnosed by the imperial physician as "completely disabled".

  She knew what "all is lost" meant, that the person would never get back up again. But it couldn't be...

  She sweated on her forehead, and her breathing was a bit urgent. Recalling the setting sun's words later, "the face is completely destroyed", that is to say, after she left that night, that person did not escape safely, but encountered an ambush and was seriously injured again.

  There were only two of them, Bai Ze had to drag his master who couldn't walk, and if they encountered an ambush, it was impossible for him to exert his full strength. In this case, both legs being crippled and appearance completely destroyed wasn't entirely impossible either.

  Feng Yu's fists clenched tightly under her subconscious, her teeth biting down on a spot.

  The man with a peculiar purple lotus on his brow, the first man to speak to her after she arrived in this world. She had argued with him and they had been through thick and thin together. She had thought that by saving one person as soon as she crossed over, she would have accumulated boundless merit. Who would have thought that the person she had exhausted herself to save would be ruined even more at someone else's hands?

  The surging resentment finally came, and I also understood why Bai Tianfeng suddenly changed his mind.

  A prince without any hope of having an heir would never be able to inherit the throne, and at this time, the Feng family could no longer marry Feng Chenyu off. It's better to just go back to the original plan, have Feng Yuexiang marry the Ninth Prince, and Feng Chenyu, who has been cultivated according to the standards of the Empress for all these years, would continue to wait for a suitable husband, that person must be the dragon among men in the future.

  Innumerable thoughts burst forth in her mind, though her heart was in disarray, she still hadn't lost the habitual vigilance and sharpness. From the garden on the right side of the stone path, a soft feminine voice could be heard, accompanied by a man's muffled grunts.

  She stopped in her tracks and followed the sound, and indeed saw a pair of lovers embracing under the pavilion deep in the garden.

  The woman's clothes were torn off and scattered all over the place. A pair of shoes was just a short distance from where she stood.

  Feng Yu Huan didn't even think about it and took two more steps forward, picked up the shoes with one hand, then turned around and left.

  Just at that moment, I heard the man say: "Jin Zhen, you've been following the madam for so many years, why doesn't she give you some good things?"

  Feng Yu Huan stopped in her tracks, her eyes rolling around. Jin Zhen? The Jin Zhen who was one of the four top maids by Shen's side?

  A woman's voice soon followed, but it was laced with a warning: "Li Zhu, speaking ill of the master is a capital offense."

  "I didn't even tell anyone else, are you going to report me?"

  The girl hummed softly, "If you make me unhappy one day, I'll let it slip."

  "Oh dear auntie, how dare I make you unhappy? You want my life, I'll give it to you!"

  "This is just about right." Jin Zhen's voice trembled, making one's ears numb. "But you mentioned rewards, humph, who in this mansion doesn't know that the mistress has adorned herself like a walking treasure trove? But whoever wants to get something out of her fingers, that's even harder than ascending to heaven."

  "Others can't figure it out, and you four still can't get it?"

  "Are we four?" Jin Zhen suddenly laughed, "Li Zhu ah Li Zhu, although the four of us are first-class maids, but in front of your mother, aren't you still supposed to lower your head and put on a smiling face? If it's according to what you said, how many benefits has your mother gained over the years? Look at me being good with you for once, shouldn't you also show some appreciation?"

  She didn't mention it, but as soon as she did, Li Zhu became angry: "That old lady hid things more tightly than her own life, where could I get them from? Hmph, thinking that following a wealthy master would bring some benefits, who would have thought he was a stingy person."

  Feng Yu didn't want to hear any more of their affectionate talk, so she picked up Jin Zhen's embroidered shoes and returned to the willow garden.

  From the conversation between the two, she guessed that Li Zhu should be the son of Li's nanny. The most trusted person under Madam's command must be her nanny, and now the nanny's son is having an affair with the maid by her side. If this matter is pursued, it would not be good to say or hear!

  Unfortunately, she's not in the mood for fun tonight, otherwise that pair of mandarin ducks would have been teased properly.

  Returned to Liu Garden, it was already past the hour of the Tiger.

  Feng Yu Heng never expected that on her first night back at the Feng manor, she would be able to sleep soundly, but instead, because of that person, she ended up losing sleep.
