Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 27 - : Her Number One Little Mystery Brother Appears
Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Her Number One Little Mystery Brother Appears
A higher officialdom crushes the one beneath, though Dugu Wu resigned from some positions, he did not lose the title of Prince.
Feng Zhanlian, a minor official of mere fifth-rank, could hardly stand his ground when facing Dugu Wu.
In the cold wind, a group from Feng Mansion knelt on the ground, pitiable that Feng Xiangxue had a broken leg and was lying in the snow.
"Congratulations to the Prince Consort, Lady Feng has been granted the title of Princess Shengping, I have come especially to offer my congratulations."
Dugu Wu raised his eyebrows.
Feng Zhanlian was flattered and alarmed; this man was notoriously difficult to serve, and in previous encounters, didn't even spare him a glance.
But the next moment, Feng Zhanlian came to his senses, realizing that it was actually Feng Bailing who had been granted the title of Commandery Princess!
Feng Zhanlian's face instantly looked as if he were at a funeral.
One Princess in the household was not enough, now there was a Commandery Princess too? Both held ranks higher than his!
"Thank you, Your Highness, my daughter has limited talents, it's fortunate that she has not brought shame upon the Princess' Mansion."
"Are you implying that my Princess Consort is foolish?"
Dugu Wu's voice was unfriendly.
Feng Zhanlian felt his brain had been numbed by the cold wind, unable to comprehend the Ninth Prince's words.
"The Emperor just granted the marriage, Your Highness and I are to be married today."
Feng Bailing's words left Feng Zhanlian thoroughly confounded.
Feng Zhanlian, a spy for Emperor Yongye, was very clear about the current political situation.
In his ideal world, his son-in-law would be someone like Dongfang Li, with a prestigious status that could catapult him to greater heights.
Not someone like Dugu Wu, a rebel and a traitor, whose actions might inadvertently lead to his own beheading!
After father and son Dugu left, Feng Bailing shook the snow off her body and headed towards the firewood room.
Inside the firewood room, Jia Xiazhu's small face looked pale as a ghost, reacting as if seeing a ghost upon seeing Feng Bailing.
"Who in the world are you?"
"Shouldn't the rules of worldly society dictate that you introduce yourself first?"
Feng Bailing couldn't help but feel admiration upon seeing Jia Xiazhu speak with such vital energy.
Having the Wuji Seal is indeed advantageous; such serious external injuries healed in just two days.
Dugu Wu's constitution was also astonishing, and if it weren't for the complexity of the poison, he would have been able to stand as well.
The Wuji Seal is a good thing, but one wonders how to gather it.
"I'm Gong Zhu, a disciple of the Xingxiu Sect. Beyond that, I cannot say more."
Gong Zhu said, then clamped his mouth shut as if he were a clam.
"I am Feng Bailing, the rest, Xiazhu must have already informed you."
Feng Bailing also surmised that Xingxiu Sect must be a martial faction involved in shady dealings.
She was interested in making connections with those in worldly society, as she would need them to handle some matters in the future.
"You are not Feng Bailing, no, you are Feng Bailing, there's no Disguise Technique that can deceive me."
Gong Zhu murmured.
He excelled at various poisons and disguises, and Xiazhu had reported all of Feng Bailing's physical characteristics to him.
"Why did you attempt to assassinate Dugu Wu?"
Feng Bailing probed.
"For money, and even more for fame."
Gong Zhu replied straightforwardly.
"Is he worth a lot?"
Feng Bailing was aware that Dugu Wu had many enemies.
"His worth is immeasurable, and there's a bounty on the outside, his head is worth a hundred thousand taels of gold!"
Gong Zhu's eyes gleamed.
The greatest military god of Great Chu, bearing the Wuji Wood Seal, would gain worldwide renown if anyone killed him.

There were many who wanted Dugu Wu dead, but no one had succeeded.
The Xingxiu Sect had attempted to assassinate Dugu Wu ten times, nearly succeeding, but he had always managed to escape.
"Is the poison on him your doing?"
Feng Bailing had never seen such a complex poison on Dugu Wu's body, and although she was proficient in medical arts from both east and west, she didn't know much about the poisons in this era.
"Only in part, Dugu Wu has been subjected to numerous assassination and poisoning attempts, the poison is cumulative, why do you ask so much?"
Gong Zhu, when speaking of Dugu Wu, revealed a trace of admiration in his tone.
"To get to know my future husband better."
Feng Bailing's words startled Gong Zhu.
"Are you really going to marry Dugu Wu, don't you know he's cursed three wives to death, and even his father?"
"My destiny is also strong, it's not certain yet who will curse whom to death."
Feng Bailing's demeanor was composed and nonchalant.
"Aren't you afraid that I might take you hostage to threaten Dugu Wu?"
Gong Zhu's eyes shifted cunningly.
"Then let me be blunt with you, although you are a strong holder of the Wuji Seal, your body bears thirty-five hidden injuries, and should you leave the Princess' Mansion, within ten days, those old wounds will flare up and you will only have death awaiting you."
Feng Bailing's lips curled slightly, revealing a chill in her smile.
Gong Zhu's expression darkened.
She had seen through his injuries at a glance.
During many years at the Xingxiu Sect, he had escaped death several times, and although he had preserved his life, his hidden injuries persisted.
The Evil of Constellation, that old fiend, didn't care about their life or death.
He relied on the elixirs from the hands of the old fiend to stay alive.
His escape from the Princess' Mansion was also to quickly return to the Xingxiu Sect to obtain the elixir.
But within ten days, it was uncertain if he could make it back.
"Do you have a method to cure me?"
Gong Zhu asked in a deep tone.
"Combining internal ingestion, external application, along with acupuncture, I can help disperse the internal blood stasis for you, but I never treat anyone for nothing."
Feng Bailing also had her principles when practicing medicine.
"What is your condition for saving me?"
Gong Zhu was half-convinced about Feng Bailing's medical skill.
His internal injuries had plagued him for many years, and if he could be healed, his body's Gang Qi might flow unimpeded, potentially leading to a breakthrough.
"Help me gather the Wuji Seal or the Wenhua Seal."
As soon as Feng Bailing finished speaking, Gong Zhu's mouth twitched viciously.
"Then let me die instead."
Despair was written all over Gong Zhu's face.
How is it possible for a rooster to lay eggs, for an iron tree to bloom?
"Truly no method?"
Feng Bailing was astonished.
Having witnessed the effects of the Wuji Seal and the Wenhua Seal, naturally, she wanted to gather them as well.
"You've already become a mother; you can't gather the seals anymore."
Gong Zhu's face was full of sympathy.
Feng Bailing only then learned that there were limitations to gathering the Wenhua Seal and the Wuji Seal.
Men have the Pure Yang Qi, women have Pure Yin Qi.
Everyone has it, but only when they are virgins.
Those like Dugu Wu and Nalan Yan'er had already successfully gathered their seals as children.
"Let me take a look, in all likelihood, you will never be able to gather the seals in this lifetime."
As Gong Zhu spoke, he casually laid a hand on Feng Bailing's wrist, and his eyes instantly bulged in shock.
