Chapter 574 Spreading Rumors



Although he said that, he actually believed it in his heart.

The birthmark on the ankle did disappear. At that time, the queen mother asked the imperial physician for advice, and the imperial physician was Minister Jiang's sister.

The man said at the time that there are many types of birthmarks, and some people's birthmarks will disappear as they grow up, which is normal.

And over the years she had never heard anyone say that she looked like her mother or her father.

Minister Jiang took Feng Qingqing's hand and said, "What I said in the court before was not to compliment you, but because you are my child. In my heart, you are the best."

Feng Qingqing shook off her hand and sneered in her heart.

If he really cared about her, he wouldn't have come out and told her about this now.

"I know it's hard for you to accept," Minister Jiang said softly without getting angry. "The last time I came to you, I was worried that Prince Rui's descendants would threaten your position, so I wanted to get rid of them."

"Really? Why did you tell me this today?"

Feng Qingqing stared at Minister Jiang.

"Do you believe what I say?"

Minister Jiang did not answer but asked instead.

"Whether I believe it or not is none of your business. As for the two people living in the mansion, don't even think about touching them."

"My Lady," Minister Jiang said earnestly, seeing that she was unmoved, "Those two are the descendants of Prince Rui. I would rather have them inherit the throne than you, who are now in disgrace. Killing them will secure your position."

Feng Qingqing didn't say anything, but looked at Minister Jiang with a smile.

"Are you so worried about me?"

"Of course, you are my daughter, and I will not allow anyone to threaten your position."

Seeing that Feng Qingqing did not reveal the identities of the two people as he expected, Minister Jiang continued to ask questions.

"Could it be that those two have other identities that you're afraid of? If you're afraid, mother can help you."

"Are you worthy of being my mother? The Queen Mother asked me to take good care of them, so I should obey her."

Feng Qingqing walked back to the chair and sat down, "Don't worry about my affairs."

Although it was obvious that he was ordered to leave, Minister Jiang did not leave.

"My Lady, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Now that the Emperor doesn't know your identity, he naturally cherishes you. If your identity is revealed one day, will the Emperor still cherish you like this?"

Minister Jiang's confidant said this and glanced at Minister Jiang who was wiping his tears.

"Besides, the lady is your mother. She won't harm you."

Feng Qingqing admitted that she had enjoyed wealth and glory and was high and mighty, and she really didn't want to go back to the underworld.

But in her impression, Minister Jiang was always rude to her.

If a mother truly loves her child, she cannot hide it in her eyes.

The two of them sang the same tune and obviously had bad intentions, they really thought she was a fool.

"Don't keep calling me your mother. As long as you don't say anything, the Queen Mother won't know."

After Feng Qingqing finished speaking, she ordered them to leave.

"You all should go now. I will pretend I didn't hear what I said today. If you want to do this for my own good, please don't mention it again."

After sending the two away, Feng Qingqing rubbed her temples, wanting to find someone to talk to, but she found that she had no one to whom she could confide her true feelings.

She stood up and walked out. When she came to her senses, she found that she had walked to the residence of Concubine Xian and Yu Yiluo while she was distracted.

He looked up at the yard and finally chose to walk in.

If she is unhappy now, then neither of them will be happy either.

With this thought in mind, Feng Qingqing raised her leg and walked in.

Empress Xian was holding Yu Yiluo and reading ancient books by the window. When she heard footsteps, she closed the book, saw Feng Qingqing coming in, and slowly looked away.

Feng Qingqing was ignored like this and sneered, "I came to tell you a good news. I have received a reply from Tianqi."

"Didn't the Emperor and my brother agree to your request?"

Concubine Xian chuckled and said, "You don't look well."

"I agree," Feng Qingqing gritted her teeth, "When I send you out, that will be your death."

Yu Yiluo stared at Feng Qingqing and blinked.

"Dad and uncle both agreed, yet you're still so angry. Is someone trying to make you unhappy?"

Her seemingly caring words made Feng Qingqing stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she was making fun of her.

Feng Qingqing approached her and glared at her fiercely.

"You're so annoying when you talk so little, just shut up."

[It seems that Minister Jiang has already found Feng Qingqing. No wonder he came to my mother's yard to vent his anger.]

"You're the annoying one, a rat that everyone wants to kill."

Yu Yiluo snorted.

"Instead of arguing with Luo'er here, you might as well think carefully about whether you can successfully negotiate with the emperor."

Concubine Xian glanced at Feng Qingqing calmly, "After all, you reacted so strongly when your mother announced my identity. I'm sure some people have already started to have ideas."

"What idea?"

Feng Qingqing felt a little annoyed after she blurted out the question, but she couldn't take it back since she had already asked it.

"I'm worried that Luo'er and I might threaten your position," Concubine Xian said calmly, "After all, it's easier to control a princess with no real skills when she ascends the throne, isn't it?"

Hearing what Empress Xian said, Feng Qingqing couldn't help but think of what Minister Jiang and her confidant had just said.

Minister Jiang said that the Queen Mother gave birth to a stillborn baby, but what if the Queen Mother did not give birth to a stillborn baby, but the Jiang family killed it deliberately out of ambition?

Then he would try to replace the prince with a cat, and after she ascended the throne, he would use her as a puppet and take the position himself.

Although what Empress Xian said was unpleasant, it was the truth.

She couldn't defeat Minister Jiang, and the ministers in the court didn't obey her. Then she would be sidelined by Minister Jiang.

No wonder Minister Jiang hadn't taken any action before and only came to find her after Concubine Xian and the other two appeared.

It turned out that she was worried that Concubine Xian and others would shake the position of Crown Princess given to her by her mother, and that Concubine Xian would be difficult to control, so she was eager to get rid of her to prevent her wishful thinking from failing.

[Mother is so smart. With this reminder, even if Feng Qingqing's mind is filled with water, she can figure out Minister Jiang's purpose.]

[Now, we're just waiting for Minister Jiang to have people spread rumors to drag Feng Qingqing into this.]

"You don't need to worry about my affairs."

Feng Qingqing turned away with a sullen face.

Minister Jiang, who had already returned home, did not look much better.

She thought that based on Feng Qingqing's personality, she would be afraid of losing her luxurious life after knowing that she was her daughter, and would obey her arrangements.

As a result, Feng Qingqing actually drove them out.

"Sir, the princess must have found it difficult to accept, so she kicked us out."

Minister Jiang was obviously not comforted. Just as he was about to say something, someone came in from the door.

"Sir, the Prime Minister seems to be willing to support the princess."

"Go down."

Waving his hand to dismiss the others, Minister Jiang said coldly, "Since she won't take the soft approach, let's use the hard approach."

The Prime Minister wanted to support the princess, but he didn't have time to slowly persuade Feng Qingqing, so he had to use force to make Feng Qingqing let her manipulate him while killing the descendants of Prince Rui for her.

I have been lying dormant for so many years just to get that position.

"Find someone to spread the rumor that the princess is not the emperor's child. Remember not to leave any traces for people to find out."

The Queen raised her eyebrows when she received the news that the person who was watching Minister Jiang had come out.

"Spreading rumors that Qing'er is not my child?"
