As Feng Qing was in a state of confusion, she suddenly heard someone nearby discussing something.

“Do you know why Doctor Xiao Feng’s maid was hung on the South City Gate? What did she do?”

“I don’t know. By logic, Doctor Xiao Feng’s maid shouldn’t have committed any crime.”

Feng Qing was startled and turned to look at the people speaking: “What did you say just now?”

The two people were frightened by Feng Qing’s eager appearance, and one of them unhappily shouted: “What are you doing?”

Feng Qing, anxious to know about Wen Xing and Little Li, sincerely apologized: “I’m sorry, I just found what you were discussing interesting, so I asked.”

Seeing her good attitude, the two spoke slowly.

“When we left the city gate earlier, we saw a person and a cat hanging on the South City Wall. One was Doctor Xiao Feng’s maid, and the other was her cat.”

Feng Qing’s face immediately turned dark. There was no need to think; she knew this must have been done by Rong Ling.

Feng Qing, thinking of Wen Xing and Little Li being hung at the city gate, was furious. She also realized Wen Xing was hung because she refused to disclose the whereabouts of Feng Qing. That’s why she was hung.

If she had revealed her presence at the Ten-mile Wind-viewing Pavilion, Rong Ling would never have hung her on the city wall.

Rong Ling hung Wen Xing and Little Li on the city wall to force her to show herself.

Feng Qing thought about Wen Xing and Little Li hanging on the South Wall Gate, leaving her in no mood to leave. She turned and walked out of the Wangfeng Pavilion.

In front of the South City Gate, a crowd had gathered. Everyone stood under the city wall, whispering non-stop.

“Isn’t that Doctor Xiao Feng’s maid? Why is she hung on the city wall? What bad thing did she do?”

“Look, even the cat is hung on the city wall. It’s a sin! What bad thing can a cat do?”

“Who did this? I don’t believe Doctor Xiao Feng’s maid could have done anything. Doctor Xiao Feng is very kind. Her maid wouldn’t do anything bad.”

“Yes, what’s going on, who did this? Could it be done by the county government?”

When Feng Qing arrived, she saw a crowd under the city gate, all pointing upwards.

When Feng Qing looked up at the city gate, she indeed saw Wen Xing and Little Li hanging upside down.

Feng Qing’s face turned black with anger, her rage boiling from her feet upwards, her eyes blazing with fury.

In front of the South City Gate, Wen Xing immediately recognized Feng Qing. Feng Qing was disguised, so others didn’t recognize her, but Wen Xing did. Seeing Feng Qing look up at her, Wen Xing immediately signaled with her eyes for Feng Qing to leave quickly; she and Little Li would be fine.

Currently, her acupoints were sealed. Once she broke through the seal, she would leave with Little Li.

But seeing them being hung like that, Feng Qing’s heart ached. She did not look at Wen Xing and strode towards the city gate.

Not far inside the city gate, a group of guards from Prince Yong Mansion, led by Nan Xuan, stood motionless by the gate.

Even though they remained still, the citizens entering and leaving the gate avoided them with caution. They were clearly not to be trifled with, so better keep a distance.

Compared to others, Feng Qing was unafraid. She strode to Nan Xuan and the others, pointed at Nan Xuan, and ordered: “Immediately release Wen Xing and Little Li for me, and also take me to see your master.”

Nan Xuan glanced at Feng Qing, utterly amazed. The Princess Consort is indeed talented—smart, bold, with incredible medical skills. Now it also seems her disguise technique is impressive.

If not for the Prince previously instructing them to catch a wall-climbing cat, they would not have been able to catch that maid.
