Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Jingli and Fuguier left, Chunsheng was assigned to guard the door outside, and Aunt Meng took Chunnuan with a list to check the interior decoration of the four major halls. For a moment, only Wang Xifeng, Chen Duo and An'er were left in the main hall of Chengxiang Hall.

"An'er, I'm thirsty. Ask Chunsheng to go to the chef and get me something to drink." Wang Xifeng ordered An'er.

An'er glanced at Chen Duo.

I see, this Warden Chen has something important to say to Concubine Liang!

An'er went out neatly.

There were only two people left in the hall.

But Wang Xifeng overestimated Chen Duo.

Before An'er's feet had completely stepped out of Chengxiang Hall, Chen Duo's knees had already gone weak and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Wang Xifeng looked at him with a smile, opened her mouth softly and coughed.

This sound is crisp, melodious, and naturally charming, just like the music from heaven, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and enlightened!

Chen Duo only felt his eardrums vibrate, and then his whole body became clear from inside out!

As for the slight dizziness and discomfort caused by not being able to sleep the first night, they were all gone at this moment!

This is……

Cleansing the marrow and meridians, the feeling of being reborn!

Chen Duo no longer hesitated, bowed his hands and kowtowed, banging his head: "The servant Chen Duo kowtows to the master!"

"This is not the time for idle chat. Get up and let's talk business." Wang Xifeng's smile faded slightly and she looked at him, "You want to assassinate the Prince of Nan'an?"

Chen Duo stood up, his heart skipped a beat, and looked at her carefully: "Master, do you mean that I can't kill you?"

"I mean, there is no one in this world who cannot be killed." Wang Xifeng said calmly, "But I think you have to figure out what your purpose is in killing this person?

"It is to show your loyalty to the prince. In order to relieve the master's worries, you would rather be a cruel official and a lackey;

“From the perspective of the greater good, his death will be beneficial to the stability of the world;

"Or maybe you have a personal grudge against him, and you want to take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone?"

Chen Duo froze.

After a moment of silence, he bowed and said, "My lord, I have a personal grudge against the Nan'an family.

"Back then, it was their family who instigated behind the scenes and bribed Zheng Fan, the then commander of the Ye Ting Bureau, with money. The case that I had investigated clearly was turned into one of 'rushing to solve the case and wrongly accusing the innocent'.

“That time, the senior brother who taught me how to investigate the case was pushed into a well and died. The female official from the Palace Administration who investigated the case with me was beaten so badly that she couldn’t get out of bed for three months and nearly lost her life.

"There was also a beauty in the palace who helped me to identify someone. Not long after that, she was banished to the cold palace because of drunkenness and committed suicide two months later."

Wang Xifeng looked at him and sighed softly: "Okay, I understand."

Chen Duo bowed slightly.

"But if you do it, there will be too many loose ends. King Xiaonan is not someone you can easily mess with. If you kill his son, you must be prepared to drag the crown prince down with you.

"Go ahead and investigate whatever you want to investigate today, and by the way, help me sort out the palace maids and eunuchs in Daming Palace.

"As for the Prince of Nan'an, leave it to me." Wang Xifeng looked at him again, emphasized in a stronger tone, "You are not allowed to insist on saying that a real man must take revenge with his own hands.

"If I tell you not to do anything, you are not allowed to touch a hair on his head. Do you understand?"

Chen Duo showed surprise on his face, and hurriedly knelt down again: "Master, if you have anything to say, I will obey you!"

"Okay. I'm fine here. If you have nothing else to say except these nonsense, just go and do your job." Wang Xifeng also yawned.

She went to bed late yesterday and got up early today. In the middle, she was excited by Wu Jin and Jin Ercai and giggled for a long time. She didn't sleep well and was very sleepy.

Chen Duo glanced at her carefully and whispered, "I want to ask the master, if there is anything in the future, I should talk to that little Lihua from yesterday?"

"Well." Wang Xifeng asked him with great interest, "I heard that little cattail flower is very pretty. Have you given it a name? What is it?"

"I want to call you Bannu." Chen Duo answered respectfully.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Oh, you are quite ambitious. The cat named the tiger. Okay, that's good."

"Yes." Chen Duo breathed a sigh of relief, and then lowered his voice, "I will have to go to the palace in half a month, and it will be difficult for me to leave the palace in person by then.

"My master, is there anything you want to tell me outside?"

That's a clever thing to say.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but look at him and smiled sincerely: "Really. Tomorrow I will ask Wu Jin to send a letter to Ban Nu. You can go home and ask Ban Nu yourself."

Chen Duo's heart was beating fast, but he had no choice but to nod his head and agree, then walked out.

An'er brushed past him, came in with a lunch box, and smiled, "Shangshi is really considerate! Hearing you come in, he immediately sent breakfast over.

"I said you had already eaten, but the chef insisted that they were just soupy dishes that didn't take up much space."

As he spoke, he opened the food box, and the table was filled with fragrant chicken soup, bird's nest porridge, sea cucumber egg custard and various snacks.

Wang Xifeng screamed and hurriedly called out to Chen Duo.

Chunsheng called Chen Duo back from outside and asked, "What do you want, Master?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and pointed at the table.

An'er understood and took out two plates of snacks and a bowl of chicken soup with a smile: "Drink the soup quickly and put the snacks in your pocket! To block our concubine at the palace gate so early today, Warden Chen must have skipped breakfast!"

Chen Duo felt warm in his heart, and took it with a smile. He drank the soup in one breath, and his stomach felt so comfortable. He put some snacks in his pocket, and then smiled and said:

"Sister An'er, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Old Chen from now on! Besides, she is our Concubine. How can she be divided between you and me?"

After saying that, he walked away humming a little tune with a smile.

Chunsheng couldn't help but stare and speak in a duller voice: "Where is he going? Jing Li hasn't said anything about the Ye Ting yet..."

"Brother Chen was banished from Daming Palace to the Eastern Palace. He was originally just doing odd jobs, but later he was promoted by our Headmaster Xia and became the warden of the Eastern Palace.

"Among us, the one who is most familiar with the Daming Palace, besides Aunt Meng, is probably Warden Chen.

"Our Lady will rely on him a lot in the future. Please be polite. He can teach you a lot of knowledge.

"Not much worse than Boss Xia!"

An'er taught him with a smile.

Wang Xifeng nodded as she ate in the room, and exclaimed: "It is indeed different!

"The Imperial Food Bureau specializes in cooking for the imperial concubines. Compared to the Eastern Palace Chefs who cook for the Crown Prince, the taste is more suitable for us women!"

He also called An'er to come over and eat some together.

He also left some soup and porridge for Aunt Meng and Chunnuan to keep warm.

Half an hour passed before Jing Li came back, looking surprised. Fuguier and Chen Duo were behind him, carrying a large box.

Wang Xifeng smiled brightly: "Oh, you got the list back?"

Jing Li looked back at Chen Duo hesitantly and nodded, "Yes. Wu Daiyuan wanted to dawdle for two more days until we moved into the palace.

"But when Warden Chen went over and looked around for a man called 'Zheng Fan', Wu Dai asked us to carry the box back."
