Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 560 - 559: Disguise Technique

"Where are my cousins?" Shen Qinglan asked, "When they left, did anyone in the palace notice?"

Xuan Ming replied, "Don’t worry, with Elder Mu around, no one will notice Young Master Song’s absence."

Duan Yunfei, fearing she wouldn’t understand, explained in a low voice, "Elder Mu knows the Disguise Technique."

"Disguise Technique?" Shen Qinglan was surprised, "Does it really exist?"

"Of course it exists," Xuan Ying said, "Miss Shen, have you forgotten the first time you met us?"

With Xuan Ying’s reminder, Shen Qinglan remembered that when she first met them, none of the three had their current faces.

Le Zhao spoke leisurely, "Speaking of the Disguise Technique, no one can surpass Elder Mu, so Miss Shen doesn’t need to worry."

"Did you... plan this all along?" Du Bingxue frowned, "That issue with the poultry plague..."

"That was just a coincidence." Fu Junyan said, "Ah Xue, do you think we would harm those civilians just to assassinate Emperor Liu?"

That was several hundred lives; how could they be used so casually?

Du Bingxue sighed lightly, "When did you plan this?"

"Not long ago," Fu Junyan said, "Just the day Prime Minister Du arrived in Liushui City."

Du Bingxue frowned, "How did the people from the Medicine Sect come to cooperate with you?"

"Miss Du, have you forgotten?" Le Zhao said, "Yunfei is the future cousin-in-law of the Medicine Sect."

Upon hearing this, Du Bingxue suddenly realized.

Shen Qinglan looked at Duan Yunfei and said with a half smile, "Such a big thing, and you never even mentioned it."

Duan Yunfei felt a tingle on his scalp and said with a forced smile, "My dear, I believe this is the kind of thing that us men should handle."

Shen Qinglan scoffed coldly and stopped looking at him.

Duan Yunfei looked at her nervously, but saw her expression was calm, with no trace of whether she was angry or not.

"Let’s not worry about this matter for now." Shen Qinglan looked at Fu Junyan and said, "General Fu, please quickly inform Prime Minister Du and the Crown Prince, advising them to keep an eye on Noble Consort Zhao and the Fourth Prince."

"Has something happened?" Fu Junyan asked suspiciously.

Du Bingxue said, "Emperor Liu has handed over the Commander’s Seal you submitted to the Fourth Prince."

"What?" Fu Junyan was shocked, "He gave the military power to the Fourth Prince?"

He had surrendered the commander’s seal with the certainty that Emperor Liu, being so suspicious, would not give it to anyone else. Once Emperor Liu died, the seal would naturally fall into the hands of the Crown Prince, and once the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, only then would other considerations be made...

He squinted his eyes, "This Noble Consort Zhao truly has some skill, to be able to deceive the old Emperor into giving up the Commander’s Seal."

Shen Qinglan said, "The Zhao Family intends to seize the chaos to take Noble Consort Zhao and the Fourth Prince from the palace. Now, with the Commander’s Seal in their hands, Emperor Liu’s demise will create chaos among the ministers, the Crown Prince’s initial accession will be unstable, and if the Zhao Family were to raise troops in revolt, Nanfeng Country could fall into real turmoil."

Emperor Liu was incompetent, unable to govern the country, while the Zhao Family was ambitious, often oppressing the people without restraint, relying on Emperor Liu’s favor towards Noble Consort Zhao. If the Fourth Prince were to ascend, Nanfeng Country would likely exist in name only in the future.

Fu Junyan said in a deep voice, "I will go into the palace to notify Prime Minister Du."

"Wait!" Duan Yunfei said, "Let Xuan Ming and Xuan Ying accompany you."

Now the situation is chaotic; there’s no one more reliable than our own people.

Fu Junyan nodded, "I would trouble you both."

Duan Yunfei advised, "Be sure to be careful!"

Du Bingxue gave a few caring words to Fu Junyan before letting him go.

Before leaving, Xuan Ying did not forget to coldly tell Le Zhao to rest well.

Once Le Zhao replied with a smile, he proudly left with Fu Junyan and Xuan Ming.
