OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess

Feng Fuce told Bai Zhi’er everything he unintentionally learned last night.

"I see, no wonder she lost her child but still went out of her way to visit. It turns out she was probing our attitude?" Bai Zhi’er said.

Feng Fuce nodded, "Quite likely, she sent mandarin ducks. She’s probably trying to test the relationship between the two of us."

"But even if we’re here to investigate the Fan Family, what does our relationship have to do with this matter?"

"The connection is, if we are spouses, then my coming to Peng City wouldn’t be to investigate under a secret decree. If we’re not spouses, they might very well misunderstand, thinking you and I have come to investigate together."

After Feng Fuce finished speaking, Bai Zhi’er understood the mindset of Fan Xinhui and the others.

She pressed her brow, "It’s really complicated. She’s overthinking it. I’m just here to enjoy the scenery and relax."

But now that she’s encountered this matter, she cannot ignore it!

"That former dynasty’s Crown Prince must still be hiding in Peng City, right?"

Feng Fuce nodded, "They believe we are here to investigate, so they will be cautious. At this time, the former dynasty’s Crown Prince wouldn’t rashly leave Peng City. They are likely to have placed spies nearby, preparing to observe."

After speaking, he looked at Bai Zhi’er, "It’s your decision. How do you want to handle it? If you want to capture him, I made all necessary arrangements when I went out in the morning, ready to take action at any time."

Bai Zhi’er was surprised by Feng Fuce’s speed.

"So fast? You’ve already discovered the current identity of the former dynasty’s Crown Prince?"

"It’s not difficult to find out. Fan Xinhui would certainly keep him nearby, so after learning a bit about her surrounding relationships, through elimination, I found him. The so-called former dynasty’s Crown Prince is now working as a top guard at the governor’s mansion."

Bai Zhi’er chuckled, completely surprised.

"He’s really fearless, hiding right under their noses."

As for how to handle the former dynasty’s Crown Prince, Bai Zhi’er was silent for quite a while.

According to her father’s attitude, not all relics of the former dynasty were subject to cleansing and extermination.

For example, Bai Xilie once spared the famed loyal Yuan Family of the former court their lives.

Even though the Yuan Family was unwilling to assist the new emperor and preferred to return to their ancestral home to farm and retire.

Bai Xilie did not force them; instead, he opened a path for them.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi’er asked Feng Fuce, "What is the purpose of this former dynasty’s Crown Prince lurking in Peng City for years?"

Feng Fuce raised his brows, "From the investigation, his aim seems to be simply to accompany Fan Xinhui. Not only does he act low-key, but he’s also changed his name."

"But even if he has ambitions, he certainly wouldn’t show them openly, nor act so obviously that we’d discover it."

Bai Zhi’er nodded, agreeing.

She thought for a moment, then said, "I believe Madam Fan and the others didn’t get the answers they wanted from their investigation this time. They will surely try again."

"So, whether to deal with the former dynasty’s Crown Prince, I intend to see what actions they take in the coming days. If they don’t overly offend, I’m willing to show a bit of lenience."

After all, she doesn’t have any dislike for Madam Fan.

Having heard Bai Zhi’er speak this way, Feng Fuce naturally was willing to follow her wishes.

And it turned out she was right.

A couple of days later, when Cai Ying accompanied her out, they encountered Madam Fan’s carriage.

"Such a coincidence." Madam Fan, sitting inside the carriage, lifted the curtain and saw Bai Zhi’er just coming out from the Four Scenic Tower, smiling gently.

Bai Zhi’er understood, "Indeed, a coincidence."
