Yuwen Huai always brought him with him to various palace banquets.
But... he has not been in the eldest prince's palace for a long time, and he has only recently taken refuge with Yu Wenxi. Why did Your Majesty think of him?
Feng Xiaoran's eyes flashed with an intriguing light. He smiled politely and said, "Wait a moment with the eunuch. Your Highness must not lose manners. Please allow me to change my clothes."
He said to the eunuch: "Mr. Feng, please do as you please, but don't make His Majesty wait anxiously."
He entered the room and called a secret guard, "Go to the Princess's Mansion..."
Zhuge Qing, Zhuge Qing, did you go to Yuwen Huai for help? You want Yuwen Huai to come forward and ask the Western Jin Emperor to issue an order to force me to hand over the medicinal materials. You are too naive. I will not let you get your wish! Feng Xiaoran changed his clothes and shoes for a while, and hesitated for a long time before setting off.
When the group arrived at the palace, Yuwen Xi also arrived.
The two exchanged a knowing look.
Yu Wenxi said to Eunuch He: "I want to talk to Master Feng for a few words. I hope the steward can help me."
"Yes." He and his father-in-law smiled and retreated.
Feng Xiaoran cut to the chase: "The other herb that Zhuge Qing wants is also in my hands. Your Majesty will force me to hand it over in a while. I will say that I have sent the Ganoderma Lucidum to your residence to treat the young prince."
Yuwen Xi said: "Not good."
Feng Xiaoran was stunned.
Yu Wenxi said calmly: "It's not for Yi'er's treatment, it's already been used up for Yi'er."
Feng Xiaoran smiled knowingly.
As expected of a princess who could compete with Yuwen Huai for the crown prince position, her ruthlessness is much stronger than that of many men.
He was not worried that Yuwen Xi would turn against him, because they both had the same stance on dealing with Zhuge Qing.
In the imperial study, the Emperor of Western Jin was not too surprised to see Yuwen Xi coming over, as he had expected that Feng Xiaoran would not surrender obediently.
Zhuge Qing was sitting in a wheelchair, still wearing a silver mask that covered most of his face. Even though only his eyes, lips and chin were exposed, he was still so handsome that people dared not look at him closely.
His handsomeness was not so alluring as to induce crime, but rather exuded a mysterious aura that made people dare not desecrate it.
Yuwen Xi had thought about Gui Bu, but never about Zhuge Qing.
Feng Xiaoran's gaze also fell on Zhuge Qing's face. This was a man who made him grit his teeth and jealous to the point of madness. Before Zhuge Qing appeared, he was the most popular man, but since there is Yu, there must be Liang. Zhuge Qing's arrival completely snatched away his limelight.
Fortunately, God had a good heart and gave Zhuge Qing a sickly body.
Since I can't beat him, I 'll just outlast him! If he dies, there will be no one to compete with me for the limelight!
Zhuge Qing sat in the wheelchair calmly, as if he didn't notice Feng Xiaoran's jealous look at all.
The Western Jin Emperor saw it, frowned unhappily, and said straight to the point: "Feng Xiaoran, do you have a purple Ganoderma lucidum in your hand?"
Feng Xiaoran looked very surprised: "In reply to your Majesty, I did have the purple Ganoderma lucidum in my hands, but I gave it away last night."
The Western Jin Emperor asked solemnly, "Who is it for?"
"Your Highness," Feng Xiaoran said, then he looked at Yuwen Xi with a cry, "Last night, Your Highness came to me to get the purple phoenix grass, and I gave you a Ganoderma lucidum, which is the top-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum. Have you already made it into a decoction for the young prince?"
Yuwenxi was about to say, "Yes, I did. Yi'er drank it all up," when Zhuge Qing spoke slowly, "Speaking of medicine, I remember one thing. There was something wrong with the herbs that Her Royal Highness brought over last night."
The Western Jin Emperor asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's poisonous." Zhuge Qing said.
Zhuge Qing said calmly: "That's because I didn't drink."
Feng Xiaoran smiled coldly: "Didn't you steal the other half that was not poisonous?"
"So, you admit that the herbs you gave His Highness were poisonous?"
The wind choked.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Qing killed him by surprise as soon as they met.
Feng Xiaoran couldn't stay calm in front of Zhuge Qing. His mind would become too excited and nervous, making him prone to making mistakes. In comparison, Zhuge Qing was much more at ease.
Feng Xiaoran took a deep breath, calmed his chaotic thoughts, and said coldly: "You said it yourself, I was just guessing based on your words, don't put all the blame on me!"
Zhuge Qing said: "Well, in that case, why don't you tell me what the poisonous herbs are?"
Feng Xiaoran snorted coldly: "Who knows if you are framing me?"
Zhuge Qing asked back, "What good will it do me to frame you? Is there anything about you, Feng Xiaoran, that is worth me scheming against you?"
It was a murderous act that broke people's hearts. Feng Xiaoran was almost mad at him. He could lose to Zhuge Qing, but he would never accept that Zhuge Qing never took him seriously!
Feng Xiaoran gritted his teeth and said, "There are so many people who have come into contact with that herb, why must it be me? Just because I gave you the herbs? Why don't you say that your medicine was brewed by that doctor from Da Zhou? Maybe she poisoned you."
Zhuge Qing said calmly, "She has no grudge against me, why did she poison me? Well, even if there is a grudge, according to what you said, anyone who has come into contact with her has the opportunity to poison her, so is Her Royal Highness also a suspect?"
Yu Wenxi was stunned.
How did it get to her head?
Feng Xiaoran said sternly, "Nonsense! How could Her Royal Highness poison you?"
Zhuge Qing spread his hands: "The medicinal materials were only handled by three people. One of you must be the murderer, right?"
The Western Jin Emperor's sharp eyes fell on Yu Wenxi's face: "Who is the murderer?"
This requires Yu Wenxi to make a choice.
Feng Xiaoran had just said that she was not the murderer, so it was too late to bite back now.
Yuwen Xi knew that she had lost to Zhuge Qing again in this round.
That’s right, when it comes to dealing with Zhuge Qing, she and Feng Xiaoran have the same stance, but when it comes to their attitudes towards Su Xiaoxiao, the two of them go in opposite directions.
In order to protect himself, Feng Xiaoran had to pass the blame to Su Xiaoxiao.
Yu Wenxi has a characteristic: she is ruthless to her enemies and will never repay her benefactors with evil. It is impossible for her to hurt Su Xiaoxiao.
Then, we can only give up Feng Xiaoran.
She clenched her fingers, closed her eyes and said, "Feng Xiaoran, hand over the Lingzhi and make amends."
Feng Xiaoran looked at Yuwen Xi in disbelief: "Your Highness!"
Yu Wenxi suppressed the anger in his heart and said unwillingly: "This is my order, and also the imperial decree of my father. If you want to live, hand over the things. Don't disobey the order! You can't afford the price!"
There is one more update, which is an extra update for Qidian’s monthly ticket activity.
