Chapter 63 The Queen was Trembling with Anger

Shangguan Lin immediately denied it.

"It can't be the Queen. The Queen has always been respectful to the Queen Mother and is even willing to accompany her to worship Buddha..."

As he was talking, Shangguan Lin stopped talking.

Because he suddenly remembered what Sui Sui had said yesterday, about how the Queen had murdered Wen Niang...

When Shangguan Sui heard Shangguan Lin's words, he hummed softly.

[How can it be impossible? This is the poison given by the Queen! ]

[The Queen was unhappy that the Queen Mother liked my third brother and was afraid that the Queen Mother would affect my eldest brother's throne, so she wanted to kill the Queen Mother. ]

[In the original book, this is also the reason why the herb was also used.]

[It was just that because of Concubine Xian's death, my third brother traveled to Lingshan in advance, causing the Queen to realize in advance that my third brother was a threat.]

Shangguan Lin felt very complicated after hearing this.

This is another fight over the throne.

Shangguan Sui couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

[However, knowing the murderer is useless. The queen is very cautious, so it may be difficult to find evidence.]

[She always makes the Ruyi cakes by herself, and I don’t know where the box that contains the lacquer grass is…]

Shangguan Lin nodded upon hearing this.

What Sui Sui said makes a lot of sense.

The Wang family is very powerful, and the queen has a very good reputation outside. It can be said that she is a wise queen praised by everyone.

If the Queen is deposed without solid evidence, it will probably lead to unrest both inside and outside the court.

Don't make any moves to alarm the Queen, collect evidence in secret first...

Shangguan Lin thought for a moment and said softly, "Since this cake was sent by the Queen, then the Queen is naturally the most suspicious."

"I will send people to secretly collect evidence. Don't let anyone know about this matter so as to prevent anyone from getting scared."

[Oh my! I thought my father wouldn't doubt the queen at all.]

[Not bad, not bad. Daddy's brain is really getting smarter. ]

Shangguan Lin: ...

If he hadn't known about Wen Niang's affairs, he really wouldn't have suspected the Queen.

But, he is obviously very smart!

Feng Xici naturally knew that it was the emperor who said this to her.

She immediately bowed.

"I will obey the emperor's order and will not spread it to anyone else."

Having said that, she prepared to leave.

At this moment, the voice of Eunuch Chen was heard outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Minister Feng has arrived."

Feng Xici frowned slightly and turned to look at the palace door.

Um?!

Why is daddy here?

Shangguan Lin only then remembered that he had summoned Minister Feng today to propose a marriage.

After Minister Feng entered the hall and paid his respects, he turned around and saw Feng Xici.

His expression was very surprised.

Why is his daughter here?

Shangguan Lin looked at the two of them and cleared his throat.

"I called you here because I have something to ask you."

Minister Feng immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, just tell me what you want to say."

Shangguan Lin's voice was steady and powerful.

"I am planning to marry Miss Feng to the eldest prince. Do you have any opinions?"

Shangguan Sui immediately clapped his hands excitedly.

[Yeah yeah yeah!! My CP is getting married!!]

[Is there anything more joyful than seeing your favorite couple come true?! ]

Upon hearing this, Minister Feng’s eyes widened immediately.

What? A marriage to the eldest prince!

This is too sudden!

Ci'er has never met the eldest prince, so I'm afraid she won't like this marriage!

Minister Feng immediately turned around and looked at Feng Xici.

But Feng Xici's cheeks were flushed and she looked very shy.

Minister Feng: ...

Why does my daughter seem to like it so much?!

How come he didn't know when his daughter had any contact with the eldest prince? !

Alas, it is really hard to keep a girl when she grows up~

But as long as Ci'er likes it!

Feng Xici naturally wouldn't have any objection.

The two of them immediately bowed to express their gratitude.

Within an hour, the news that the emperor had personally granted the marriage spread throughout the palace.

Fengyi Palace.

"Bang--"

The queen suddenly threw the porcelain cup in her hand to the ground.

Xinlan was so scared that she immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please stop being angry. Being angry is bad for your health..."

The Queen interrupted sharply.

"Not angry? How can I not be angry? The emperor is clearly slapping me in the face!"

"Everyone knows that my favorite candidate for the crown prince's consort is Wang Qichun. The emperor didn't even ask me and I just gave her the marriage! Obviously, I am the eldest prince's mother!"

Xinlan trembled and said, "My Lady, what should we do now?"

The queen took a few quick breaths and gradually calmed down.

She sat back on the phoenix chair and scratched the table with her long fingers.

He sneered and said, "What's the use of offering her a marriage? It depends on whether she is lucky enough to live to see the wedding day!"

Xinlan's back stiffened. "What the queen means is..."

A cold light flashed in the queen's eyes.

"It's time for the Wang family's assassins in the capital to come out."

The next day.

Jinshan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

Mrs. Feng took Feng Xici with her, and the two of them walked slowly along the mountain path and soon arrived at the temple.

After burning incense and worshipping Buddha, they went to the backyard room where they used to live.

As Feng Xici entered the room, there was a knock on the door.

Yunxiao went to open the door, and a young monk came in. After bowing, he said, "Donor Feng, someone is waiting for you in the back hills."

Feng Xici's eyebrows moved slightly, "Who is it?"

The little monk shook his head and handed the token in his hand to her.

"He is a very good-looking big brother. You can tell at a glance what he said."

Feng Xici took it and found that they were two pieces of white jade with nothing on them.

Yunxiao frowned in confusion and spoke out.

"Miss, what does this mean?"

Feng Xici smiled lightly, "Jue refers to two pieces of jade put together."

That is, Shangguan Jue.

Feng Xici held the two pieces of white jade in her palm.

He quickly caught up with the little monk, and the two of them walked towards the back mountain.

The hill behind Jinshan Temple is covered with dense trees, with the sound of gurgling water and beautiful scenery.

On the cliff is an exquisite wooden pavilion.

Feng Xici spotted the tall and slender figure in the pavilion at a glance.

She approached slowly, lightly walking.

The little monk also turned around and left very tactfully.

"Why did you think of coming here?" Feng Xici asked.

Shangguan Jue turned around upon hearing the voice, and his handsome face with clear features looked even more profound.

There was a smile in his eyes.

"Do you need any more reasons to come and find your wife?"

Feng Ci gave him a glare.

"We haven't gotten married yet, who is your wife?"

Shangguan Jue raised his lips and said, "It will be soon. I have already discussed it with my father. The third day of next month will be a good date."

Feng Xici's little face turned even redder.

But at this moment, a light sound passed through the forest. Shangguan Jue turned his head sharply, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Who?"

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a group of men in black suddenly jumped out from the bushes.

Without further ado, the sword pointed directly at Feng Xici's throat.
