CHAPTER 183: CHAPTER 173: IS THERE REALLY NO ONE WHO CAN MATCH FENG QIWU?

Seeing this, Bai Susu quickly comforted, "Don’t worry, we don’t know what’s happened yet. Besides, no one said it’s your fault; I was watching." Then she looked at Ling Han, somewhat anxiously, "Has something happened on Shu Kuang’s side?"

Ling Han did not answer her, but said, "I am not sure either; let’s wait until the Crown Prince arrives, and he will tell you in person. I must take my leave now."

With that, he took the rest of the pastries and vanished before them.

As soon as he left, Chun Tao couldn’t help but start crying.

"Miss, what did his words mean? Could it be the Crown Prince actually got into trouble because he ate what we sent?"

How could she dare to tamper with the pastries the Miss wanted to send?

That’s the ruthless Crown Prince!

Even with a hundred and eighty bouts of courage, she wouldn’t dare to tamper with the Crown Prince’s food.

...

Seeing Chun Tao cry with fright, Bai Susu could only look at her helplessly and say, "We ate these pastries ourselves. If there’s really a problem, how could we still be fine now? Even if there was an issue with the pastries we sent last time, the problem certainly didn’t stem from us."

At this point, Bai Susu’s face slightly darkened.

Someone knew she sent pastries to Feng Qiwu and intentionally tampered with them!

If Feng Qiwu ate them and got poisoned, they’d definitely trace it back to her and implicate Grandpa. That way, the mastermind’s goal would be achieved.

Even if Feng Qiwu noticed and didn’t eat them, he’d normally suspect she meant to harm him. Once she marries into the Crown Prince Mansion, could she still live well?

In short, whether Feng Qiwu ate the pastries or not, if poison was found, she’d be the first suspect.

Thinking of this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but squint her beautiful peach-blossom eyes.

Feeling somewhat relieved, she thought: It’s fortunate Feng Qiwu trusts me a bit now.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had Ling Han come directly to take the pastries away.

...

When Ling Han returned the pastries from Bai Susu to the Eastern Palace, Witch Doctor Gu He finally matched Da Qin’s several large mountain ranges with those in his memory.

Just then, Ling Han came back with a bunch of pastries.

"Your Highness, all the pastries from the Crown Princess Consort are here. She herself ate these pastries as well, but there seemed to be nothing unusual," Ling Han said.

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu’s heart couldn’t help but relax.

Then he looked at Witch Doctor Gu He.

The Witch Doctor Gu He came forward obediently, opened the pastry box, and said directly, "This is normal plum blossom cake, nothing wrong."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu lowered his head to look at the two kinds of plum blossom cakes before him.

He glanced at Witch Doctor Gu He, reached out to take a piece of plum blossom cake that Ling Han had just brought back, and ate a mouthful.

A moment later, he nodded and said, "It is indeed delicious."

Therefore, he could not let go of the person who switched his pastries and tried to frame Susu!

After leisurely finishing a piece of plum blossom cake, Feng Qiwu looked at the map on the wall, "Continue."

Hearing this, Witch Doctor Gu He was somewhat embarrassed and said, "Well... I want to continue too, but I really can’t quite remember."

He hurried to say, afraid of Feng Qiwu’s anger, "I’m not trying to make excuses; it’s just that the Profound Yellow Great World was vast, spanning billions of miles. The map you gave is so small, I can only recognize the more prominent mountain ranges on it, the rest I simply cannot identify."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu did not press further.

He only said afterwards, "Then draw the map of the Profound Yellow Great World that you remember!"

"This..." Witch Doctor Gu He was dumbstruck.

No way, the Profound Yellow Great World is so large, even after living over a thousand years, he hasn’t traversed it all. How could he possibly draw a complete map?

"Can’t do it? Can’t even sketch a rough map?" Feng Qiwu looked as if questioning his worth.

Witch Doctor Gu He couldn’t help but shudder, quickly saying, "I can draw a rough map!"

With that, he briskly moved to the desk and began to draw diligently.

Seeing this, Feng Qiwu snorted lightly, then looked at Ling Han with murderous intent, "Go investigate who has touched Susu’s pastries after they were sent!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ling Han knew Feng Qiwu was indeed angry this time.

In fact, over the years, various poisoning and assassination attempts the Crown Prince encountered were endless; this poisoning incident was originally nothing.

But who’s the fool daring to tamper with pastries personally sent by the Crown Princess Consort?

This was clearly smear mud on the Crown Princess Consort!

Now that His Highness is so concerned about the Crown Princess Consort, it’s no wonder he’s furious!

...

As for the true culprit, Feng Qingyang, he seemed to have completely forgotten he sent people to poison Feng Qiwu.

But when night fell, he couldn’t help but call in the Hidden Guard to inquire.

"Did anything happen with the Crown Prince?"

Upon hearing this, the Dark Guard Leader thought for a moment, then cautiously said, "There seem to be no particular incidents."

Not hearing what he wanted, Feng Qingyang’s face immediately darkened.

Then he cursed, "A bunch of useless fools! Can’t even handle this trivial matter."

The poison, extremely similar to Leng Meixiang, he painstakingly deceived from that vile woman Lingxi years ago.

Plus this poison doesn’t act quickly; even if Feng Qiwu had someone test it, nothing would be found in the short term.

Yet now, even after using such precious poison, they failed to accomplish anything.

Wasted his precious poison saved over the years!

...

Hearing Feng Qingyang’s words, Li Cheng and the Dark Guard Leader kept silent with their heads bowed.

Moments later, Feng Qingyang coldly said, "Why don’t you get lost! Still kneeling here for what?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Dark Guard Leader instantly rolled away.

Li Cheng chuckled bitterly, then promptly stepped forward, "Calm yourself, Your Majesty. Although the Crown Prince behaves wildly, he still has brains and won’t easily be caught. However, with the World Summit approaching, there are many wanting to deal with the Crown Prince. Why must Your Majesty act yourself?"

At this, Feng Qingyang couldn’t help but be intrigued.

"You mean... let other countries deal with him?" Feng Qingyang asked.

Li Cheng nodded, "Exactly."

Feng Qingyang actually felt Li Cheng’s suggestion was good, but still said, "But if that’s the case, wouldn’t Feng Qiwu’s defeat be a disgrace to Da Qin?"

Li Cheng replied, bending low respectfully, "Even if the Crown Prince loses face, others can regain it for us. Da Qin doesn’t rely solely on the Crown Prince."

This was definitely hitting Feng Qingyang’s sweet spot.

Indeed, Da Qin is a vast nation, is there truly no one who can compare to Feng Qiwu?
