"Is that really the truth?"
Feng Qingqing stared at Concubine Xian, unable to understand how Prince Rui was related to Concubine Xian.
"Whether it is true or not, can't you tell from your mother's attitude?"
Concubine Xian glanced at Feng Qingqing and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take Luo'er to rest. We can stay in the same place as before. It's quite good."
After saying this, Concubine Xian took Yu Yiluo away. Feng Qingqing held her breath and watched her leave, her hands clenched into fists, muttering.
"Let's see how long you can continue to be so rampant."
She calculated the time and realized that half a month had passed. The reply from Tianqi should be arriving soon.
Just as he was thinking about it, a guard came in hurriedly.
"Madam, there's a letter from Tianqi."
Feng Qingqing was delighted and couldn't wait to take the letter and open it quickly.
After reading the above content, she raised a smile and said, "It's done."
The guard didn't understand what she meant and didn't respond. Feng Qingqing read the letter carefully again and laughed out loud.
"It worked. It really worked."
"Madam, here is another one."
Feng Qingqing took the letter and smiled even more widely after reading it.
Empress Xian and this little princess are really a pair of gold nuggets. Emperor Tianqi not only agreed to the conditions she proposed, but also asked her not to hurt Yu Yiluo. If Yu Yiluo was injured, even a little, the deal would be invalid.
The Jin family was also very straightforward and agreed to her conditions as long as they could get Concubine Xian back.
Because of these two letters, Feng Qingqing no longer even thought about Empress Xian's identity.
Whether Empress Xian was a descendant of Prince Rui was no longer important to her at this moment.
She lowered her eyes to look at the transaction time and place written on the letter, wishing that time would fly to half a month later.
"Hasn't Feng Hongyu received any news? What's the situation now?"
Putting the two letters in her arms, Feng Qingqing asked the guard.
"No," the guard whispered, "The news from over there is that Feng Hongyu fell on her head while going out to burn incense and lost her memory."
"Lost your memory?"
Feng Qingqing sneered, "Feng Hongyu doesn't think you can fool me with these little tricks, does you?"
"Your Highness is wise. Perhaps she wants to use her amnesia to escape your control."
"Tell Tianqi's secret agents, no matter what means they use, to find out whether Feng Hongyu's amnesia is true."
She wanted to see whether Feng Hongyu really had amnesia or was faking it.
"I have already given instructions."
After the guard finished speaking, he looked at Feng Qingqing cautiously, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Anything else?"
Feng Qingqing noticed her expression and let out a low cry.
"explain."
"The Emperor has dealt with the people you placed next to Attendant Ling."
"What?"
Feng Qingqing's expression suddenly turned cold, and she punched the table in anger.
"It seems that the Queen Mother is not completely indifferent to Ling Changshi."
She suddenly felt a little relieved that she had not rashly touched Ling Changshi before.
The Queen Mother dealt with the people she had placed around Ling Changshi as a warning to her not to extend her hands to the harem.
"Please calm down, Princess. Whether or not Attendant Ling is under your control is unimportant. Feng Hongyu is far away in Li Country, and has no way of verifying whether her father is being held hostage by you."
"You're right," Feng Qingqing laughed after hearing this.
What Feng Hongyu saw was the Queen Mother's indulgence towards her and her indifference towards both father and daughter.
Even if she couldn't do anything to Ling Changshi, Feng Hongyu would have no way of knowing.
Therefore, the other party will continue to obey her under the threats she deliberately creates.
Feng Hongyu knew very well how much she cared about her father.
So even if she had doubts, Feng Hongyu didn't dare to gamble with the safety of her father, Ling Changshi.
…
When Feng Qingqing received the letter, Yu Yiluo and Concubine Xian had already returned to the courtyard where they lived before.
The two entered the house and found Qian Jue was already waiting inside.
Seeing them come in, Qian Jue nodded and greeted Empress Xian, then couldn't wait to speak.
"Little Princess, you are amazing. I'm very curious about what tricks you used to scare the Queen of Li Country so much that you even conferred the title of Princess on Concubine Xian."
Yu Yiluo rolled her eyes at Qian Jue and asked, "Is there a possibility that this is true?"
Qian Jue poured a cup of tea for Concubine Xian and his expression suddenly became serious.
"If it's true, it's bad."
"Why?"
Yu Yiluo blinked, confused.
"Think about it, General Jin's wife suddenly became Prince Rui of Li Country. This means that Concubine Xian and General Jin are half Li Country blood. When the Emperor learns of this, he will naturally feel resentful."
Qian Jue stood up after saying this and said, "No, no matter what, you can't admit that you have anything to do with Prince Rui. What if the Emperor doesn't care about you and Concubine Xian because of this? Then you've worked so hard for so long, and in the end, you've gotten yourself into this. It's not worth it."
He had witnessed the king's suspicion today.
At the birthday banquet, when the Queen of Li Kingdom saw that the ministers easily agreed to confer the title of Princess on Concubine Xian, her face turned obviously unhappy.
It's just that I'm worried that Concubine Xian will threaten Feng Qingqing's position.
When the emperor finds out about this, won’t he suspect that the Jin family has other intentions?
"So you're worried that Dad will suspect that my uncle's family has other intentions?"
Yu Yiluo laughed out loud and praised sincerely, "You are quite smart, but don't worry. If Dad gets suspicious, at worst, I can just ask Uncle to give him the military token."
"The Emperor will not doubt it."
Empress Xian spoke directly.
"Even father doesn't know my mother's identity. As Luo'er said, if the emperor is suspicious, it's okay for the Jin family to hand over the military order."
"You're quite worried about us."
Yu Yiluo stared at Qian Jue with a smile.
"It seems like you've already made a plan. I'm just worrying about nothing."
Qian Jue touched his nose and didn't look at Yu Yiluo.
"Do you want to sit on the throne of Li Kingdom?"
Yu Yiluo suddenly looked at Qian Jue seriously, "Bring down Feng Qingqing. When you take the throne, you won't have to worry about the empress using the things you gave her to harm her loyal ministers."
Qian Jue looked at her serious expression and almost spit out his tea.
He slowed down and looked back at Yu Yiluo, "Little Princess, I do want to take that thing back, but there's no need to make such a big deal. Usurping the throne is no small matter."
The little princess brought her and Concubine Xian to the Kingdom of Li. Wasn't the purpose of helping him get his things back, getting rid of the princess, and finding out the identity of Concubine Xian's mother? How did it become a conspiracy to usurp the throne now, and the throne of someone else's country?
"Who said you were planning to usurp the throne?"
Yu Yiluo was speechless. "Now that you know that mother is Prince Rui's daughter, combined with what I said to you before in Changshan County, do you have any thoughts in your mind?"
Seeing that Yu Yiluo didn't seem to be joking, Qian Jue thought about what she said in Changshan. Combined with the identity of Concubine Xian's mother, his eyes suddenly widened and he said in surprise:
"You said then that we might be related. Could it be that I am your grandmother's illegitimate child?"
Yu Yiluo resisted the urge to slap him to death, "Aside from the illegitimate child, is there no other relationship in your mind?"
