Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Feng Zhanye spread his hands and let them search. Gu Qingzhi and Nanny Liu stood aside and did nothing.

Unfortunately, after half a day, the soldiers had turned the villa upside down, but they still couldn't find any evidence.

"A bunch of trash!"

Zuo Chengran was so angry that he slapped the leading soldier hard, then turned around and stared at the other servants.

He just didn't believe that everyone in this villa was of one mind, so he would be able to get something out of these people.

Zuo Chengran looked around, checked the expressions of every maid and servant, and finally his eyes stopped on Wu Fang.

Just now, Wu Fang yawned loudly. He was woken up before he had enough sleep. He was still confused and hadn't figured out what was going on.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be very smart, Zuo Chengran's eyes lit up and he raised his chin to signal him.

"Tell me if there have been any strangers in the courtyard today, and where they are now."

Wu Fang was confused. He looked around and pointed at himself. "Call me?"

Zuo Chengran placed his hopes on this man. He looked at him with a smile on his face, his eyes full of anticipation.

Wu Fang scratched his head and said in confusion: "I was sleeping the whole time, how could I know who came in and who went out? Shouldn't you ask your guards about this question?"

Zuo Chengran was so angry that a soldier beside him couldn't help but purse his lips.

Zuo Chengran turned around to look at him and walked behind him, "Is it funny? I'll make you laugh!"

The soldier was kicked on the buttocks. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was so scared that he fell to his knees on the spot, not daring to make a sound.

"Please go ask your good friend again, make sure he is not mistaken, Mr. Zuo Er."

Feng Zhanye stabbed him again nonchalantly and walked towards him with cold eyes.

The soldiers around him were all frightened and took half a step back, even the man kneeling on the ground stepped back.

Zuo Chengran was the only one left in front of Feng Zhanye. In order to maintain his momentum, he could not retreat. However, Feng Zhanye still remembered the competition at the last banquet. Now he just wanted to save his face and stretched out his hand as if to pat his arm.

His evil spirit is probably the most terrifying thing to those who already have evil in their hearts.

"If you wrongly accuse a good person, be careful to go to hell..." Feng Zhanye's voice was very soft. Zuo Chengran had to listen to his lip movements to roughly understand what he was saying. He suddenly felt timid and his steps were no longer firm.

He was still forced to dodge to the side, avoiding the hand that was almost about to hit his arm, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the mockery in Feng Zhanye's eyes.

He stared at Feng Zhanye for a long time, then realized that he had been tricked, and pointed at him, "Okay, okay."

His face was swollen with anger. He held it in for a long time before squeezing out the words "Wait for me!" from between his teeth, then turned around and left.

Gu Qingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now she forced the frightened Liu Ming to go back and complain to the Zuo family, so the body must be disposed of as quickly as possible.

The body hidden in the villa was undoubtedly a time bomb, so Gu Qingzhi planned to throw the body back to the main house just like last time.

However, throwing it somewhere else and letting someone find it would not completely clear her of suspicion, so she thought of a great idea.

It is a place that the Zuo family will never discover in their lifetime - the lotus pond.

How could she forget that the lotus pond was filled with the bones of countless people killed by them, including herself in her previous life.

Even if they searched the entire prime minister's residence, they would not dare to touch the lotus pond.

Who would have thought that this place, which bore the sins of Zuo Xiang and his son, would one day help her.

Fortunately, she had told Madam Liu and Feng Zhanye about the situation in advance, and the three of them decided to play dumb and pretend that this incident had never happened.

However, she didn't expect that the seemingly weak Feng Zhanye would be so courageous when facing Zuo Chengran. Today she was really impressed by him.

Looking at the messy house, Gu Qingzhi and Madam Liu sighed at the same time. These palace soldiers were robbers, and they had to clean up the mess again.

Zuo Chengran was so angry that he didn't want to vent it. When he returned to the study, he didn't see Liu Ming. Only Zuo Chengyu was sitting at the table, sipping tea comfortably.

Zuo Chengran was even more furious. He came in and sat down beside him without saying a word.

"You're back, how's it going?"

Zuo Chengyu was not surprised to see him like this, but asked him with a smile.

"What a bunch of lowly slaves, they refuse to admit it. I searched the villa thoroughly but couldn't find any evidence. And that evil guy even dared to show off in front of me!" Zuo Chengran said angrily.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He started to curse Liu Ming as well. "That's Liu Ming too. He insisted on releasing the snake for no reason. Now look what happened. Not only did he lose the servant, but he also made me lose my life."

Zuo Chengyu took a sip of the tea brewed by "Yaotai Yufeng" and said with a smile: "I knew it would be like this, so I sent him away first."

Zuo Chengran turned around after hearing this, his eyes widened: "Brother, what do you mean?"

"Chengran, sometimes face is not everything. Even the guard in the villa knows this." He poured himself a cup of tea while speaking.

Looking at the petals of a jade phoenix from the purple clay teapot, he continued, "You don't need to worry too much about the process. Look, haven't we achieved our goal?"

Zuo Chengyu picked up the chrysanthemum petals in the teacup with a smile and gave some advice to his not-so-bright brother.

The Yaotai Yufeng in his hand was clean and white, without a speck of dust, but who could have known that the package that Liu Ming took away was drugged?

"Achieved...what?" Zuo Chengran was still confused.

Zuo Chengyu's eyes dimmed, and he seemed too lazy to say anything more. He threw the chrysanthemums on the tea tray, stood up and walked behind Zuo Chengran.

"You, from now on, you should go out less, read more books, learn from others, and stop thinking about going to the other courtyard to make trouble."

A hand fell on the boy's shoulder and patted him twice. Zuo Chengran's face paused, and he clearly felt his brother's displeasure.

When he turned around, Zuo Chengyu had already left the study, leaving him alone there.

Early the next morning, the whole of Kyoto was in an uproar, with rumors flying everywhere.

I heard that Lord Liu's eldest son, Liu Ming, visited the Prime Minister's villa yesterday, and the servant beside him died suddenly on the spot.

Not long after Liu Ming returned home, he also developed a high fever. Lord Liu invited a room full of experts to perform rituals but to no avail.

Fortunately, after hearing the news, Lord Zuo Xiang immediately sent someone to deliver an extremely precious elixir, which brought Liu Ming back from the brink of death.

In an instant, the evil spirit emanating from Feng Zhan Ye caused panic in the people of Kyoto, and people even spread the word that he was an evil god who came to the world of the living specifically to reap lives.

Some brave young men threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at the gate of the villa from a long distance away, shouting words like "Get out of Kyoto, evil spirit!"

The soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the door hid aside and watched the show, fearing that they would be splashed by the filth.

For three or five days in a row, the number of people making trouble increased instead of decreased, and even those who did not participate were willing to watch the fun.

The rumors eventually reached Feng Zhanye's ears.

Although Feng Zhanye didn't say it these days, he often read until late at night.

He became more cautious, relying on himself for everything, and no longer had any contact with Gu Qingzhi, hardly even speaking to her.

He knew that it was because of his bad fate that Liu Ming's illness was blamed on him. He didn't know whether it was really his fault. He only knew that he had never even seen that person.

But the truth is of no importance to the people of Kyoto; they will only believe what they want to believe.

Nanny Liu kept persuading him and trying different ways to cook delicious meals for him. Feng Zhanye agreed verbally but actually did nothing and always said he was full before he had even taken a few bites.

He was still greatly affected, Gu Qingzhi could see that.

Seeing that Nanny Liu was at her wit's end, she sighed in worry. She felt that if things continued like this, the child would have no innocence and his mentality would sooner or later be affected.

She thought for a long time and finally spoke while on night duty.

"Your Highness, do you want to go out for a walk tomorrow?"
