Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Just in Time—Watch How I Deal With Him

Feng Fuce smiled and glanced at her.

He hadn’t seen Bai Zhi’er for most of the day.

He didn’t know when it started, but when he couldn’t see her, he would miss her.

Listening to Bai Zhi’er say this, Feng Fuce replied, "Her obsession, if it was to let Long Xiyuan put aside his enmity and love her, would you help make it happen?"

Bai Zhi’er sighed, "It’s because I can’t accomplish it that I’m anxious."

Since this is the past time-space, all endings are unchangeable.

In other words, Fu Xiru will definitely die of illness in half a month, and Long Xiyuan will not completely let go of his grudge and fall in love with the Empress in such a short time.

Although Bai Zhi’er has mana, she cannot change the already occurred ending.

All she can do is ensure Fu Xiru leaves with fewer regrets.

By doing so, her soul will not be confined to the illusion of the past.

Feng Fuce, however, said, "I guess it’s not that easy, their situation is too complicated; I probably understand most of it today."

"Every now and then, Prince Li Zheng visits the palace under the guise of seeing the Empress, and every time he leaves, the Empress falls seriously ill within two or three days."

Bai Zhi’er was startled, "Why is that?"

Feng Fuce raised his eyebrows, "I’ve also investigated some of the Empress’s poisoning incidents and found that, more or less, the person behind the poisoning was essentially commissioned by Prince Li Zheng."

Bai Zhi’er was completely stunned.

"Prince Li Zheng? Why would he do this, the Empress is his most valuable pawn, why would he harm her!"

At this point, Bai Zhi’er was already somewhat angry.

Fu Xiru was already pitiable enough, even Prince Li Zheng didn’t care about her health.

He only knew how to exploit!

Feng Fuce said calmly, "I think it’s because he doesn’t need the Empress to be healthy all the time."

This sentence left Bai Zhi’er silent for a moment before she understood what it truly meant.

She murmured, "That’s right... because we have seen the ledgers, Princess Consort Liang and many other concubines are within Prince Li Zheng’s sphere of influence."

"He just needs Fu Xiru to constantly oppose Long Xiyuan and attract his attention, letting Long Xiyuan believe that the Empress is Prince Li Zheng’s pawn."

"But in reality, while the Empress attracts a large part of the attention, these concubines get a chance to breathe and help Prince Li Zheng plot power seizure under Long Xiyuan’s nose!"

Bai Zhi’er clenched her fists, "Prince Li Zheng, this old rogue, is too wicked!"

When she’s angry, her fair cheeks puff up like an irate little fish.

Seeing this, Feng Fuce couldn’t help but chuckle softly, his brows full of affection.

He unclenched her tightly gripped fist and held it in his hand, not letting go.

"Why are you angry? I bet the Empress definitely knows."

Bai Zhi’er felt even sorrier for Fu Xiru.

"Of course, she knows, but how could she refuse? If she shows any non-cooperation, the concubines in the harem might unite to take Long Xiyuan’s life!"

"That idiot Long Xiyuan still thinks the Empress is deliberately opposing him!"

"Oh! The more I think, the angrier I get. When’s the next time Prince Li Zheng enters the palace, I want to ruin things, make Long Xiyuan see the connection between Prince Li Zheng and other concubines!"

Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow, "Tomorrow, he will enter the palace to visit the Empress."

Bai Zhi’er snorted, "Just in time, let’s see how I deal with him."

Suddenly, she reacted, "Brother Fu Ce, how do you know so much information, did those demons tell you?"

Feng Fuce shook his head, his tone calm, "In the afternoon, a few Imperial Guards came to provoke me. I beat them up, interrogated them a bit, and pieced together the whole affair from their accounts."
