After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

The next morning.

Feng Qiongzhu woke up early and started to exercise, recalling the martial arts moves from her previous life and began to practice them bit by bit.

As her practice progressed, she gradually felt that her breathing was not smooth, so she sat cross-legged in meditation, trying to practice the Ghost Gate Secret Manual left to her by her master.

At this moment, Nuanchun came over with a surprised smile on her face: "Girl, the people who went out shopping yesterday came back and bought a lot of clothes for you. I picked out a few pieces made of light fabrics. Now that the weather is hot, these are just right for you."

Feng Qiongzhu looked at the box beside Nuanchun, nodded and said, "Then choose a simple set for me to change into. I won't be going out today. Please help me clean up the room next to me. I will use it as my alchemy room."

Feng Qiongzhu thought that this place was mainly used to refine poisons, so she reminded him, "Nuanchun, the pharmacy over there is where I plan to study poisons. It will be dangerous. Tell everyone else in the yard not to go over there if it's okay."

Nuanchun responded respectfully.

Feng Qiongzhu changed her clothes, walked to the bronze mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

The moon-white dress sets off her slender figure, and the silver hairpin shaped like a crabapple flower is inserted in her hair, making her look simple and elegant yet full of vitality.

If she had not been tortured and abused by those vicious people for many years, her face would have been pale and her body would have been extremely thin.

Now as her complexion gradually improves, her face has become more fleshy, and you can vaguely tell that this body still has some natural beauty.

Nuanchun looked at Feng Qiongzhu and praised her sincerely: "Girl, you are getting more and more beautiful."

Feng Qiongzhu turned her head and looked at Nuanchun. "Not only am I changing, you are changing too. Nuanchun, haven't you noticed? You've become whiter and more beautiful."

Nuanchun blushed a little embarrassedly, "I have also used the ointment that the girl left for us these few days. It is all thanks to the girl that I can become white and beautiful."

Feng Qiongzhu smiled slightly, and seemed to say to herself in the mirror: "Girls should be pretty."

Nuanchun looked at the silver whip around her waist and felt that her waist was too thin, and it looked a bit awkward to be wrapped around it.

"Girl, if you don't go out today, then you'd better not wrap the silver whip around your waist. There are experts in this courtyard, so you don't have to worry."

Feng Qiongzhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then put it in the room."

"Please put it in that pear wood box for me."

Nuanchun looked up and examined Feng Qiongzhu carefully, smiling and saying, "It seems that the girl really treasures this silver whip. The prince specially ordered the master of the Dark Guard Camp to customize it for you. The length is completely determined according to your current body shape."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiongzhu couldn't help but turn around in front of the bronze mirror.

"Nuanchun, you know what, I seem to have grown a little taller."

"Now that you have enough nutrition, you will definitely grow taller in the future. So this whip will have to be replaced in a few years. When that time comes, the prince will definitely make you a more exquisite whip inlaid with gems. When you wrap it around your waist, you will definitely be more dazzling."

Hearing this, Feng Qiongzhu's eyes flashed with light, and she said expectantly: "Yes, when I grow taller, I will change to a more beautiful whip. Hehe..."

She straightened her dress and walked to the next room.

The room is of moderate size. When you open the window, you can see the small pond next to it and the albizzia tree beside the pond.

Feng Qiongzhu immediately fell in love with this room. It was well ventilated and had plenty of light, making it a perfect place for her to refine medicine.

She stood by the window, feeling the coolness brought by the breeze. She gazed at the scenery outside the window, but felt a little empty in her heart.

She thought for a moment and instructed Nuanchun, "Nuanchun, tell Anqing that the pond is too empty. Ask him if he can plant some lotus roots. It's summer now, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom. Ask him to go to the nearby villages and see who has lotus roots. Buy some and transplant them."

"Miss, this is a really good idea. This villa was built not long ago. The prince bought it from someone else at a high price. The other party planned to use it as a summer resort. It hasn't even been completed yet, but the prince has already taken a fancy to it."

When Feng Qiongzhu heard that the villa was bought from someone else, she was a little worried about her identity being exposed, so she asked, "Will there be any problems with your prince's identity when he buys this villa?"

"Don't worry, young lady. The prince asked a local wealthy businessman to buy it. He said he wanted to place a concubine there. He was afraid that his wife would find out, so he asked the original owner to keep it a secret and added some extra money."

After hearing this, Feng Qiongzhu looked out the window again.

"I think we can build a pavilion next to the pond, so it will be more pleasant to enjoy the lotus."

Nuanchun responded immediately: "Miss, if you want a pavilion, there are guards in the courtyard who can build it themselves, so there is no need to invite outsiders."

Feng Qiongzhu thought that Yun Kaizhou had specially mobilized a group of guards from Prince Duan's Mansion this time, and that they must be preparing to track down clues to the treasure map with all their strength, so she gave up the idea of ​​building a pavilion.

Then, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Nuanchun closely, with a cold light in her eyes.

Her tone was a little cold. "Nuanchun, I find that you are not simple. You have been at the villa for less than two days, but you have already figured out the situation in the courtyard. Your position in the Dark Guard Camp is not simple, right? In my opinion, you are very proficient in gathering intelligence."

Nuanchun smiled shyly and said frankly, "Miss, you have a pair of discerning eyes. I am indeed good at gathering intelligence. The prince arranged for me to stay with you. He must have his own intentions. But please rest assured, Miss. I promise you that I will never do anything that is detrimental to you."

Feng Qiongzhu raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile: "That's not necessarily true. You are the prince's man. Yun Kaizhou sent you to my side in the first place because he wanted you to find out my background, right?"

Nuanchun hurriedly explained: "Miss, I really don't know the prince's intention. The prince asked me to stay by your side to protect you and ensure your safety."

"After so much time, how much do you know about me?" she asked calmly.

Nuanchun showed some confusion: "To be honest, girl, you are like the unfathomable clouds, which are hard to understand. Is everyone in Guimen so mysterious?"

Feng Qiongzhu fell into deep thought, and after a long while she slowly spoke: "Maybe, even I don't know where Master is now."

As they spoke, there seemed to be an indescribable sadness in the air.

She couldn't help but start to miss the old man who taught her various skills.

Perhaps Nuanchun sensed the sadness in her body and asked softly, "Miss, is there anything else I can help you prepare?"

Feng Qiongzhu came back to her senses from her sadness and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there anyone in this yard who can make wine?"

There was a sense of anticipation and longing in her voice.
