Chapter 140: The Extinct God of War General x The Delicate Little Doctor 40

Aunt Qiao narrowed her eyes, patted Concubine Zhen soothingly as she thought of the sad things and said, "Mother, the Empress has been banished to the cold palace. The ending will not be good."

"Look, the children are looking at you, so don't be sad."

Concubine Zhen looked down at the three children who were staring at her eagerly, and burst into laughter, saying, "The children are still young. I thought they couldn't understand, but I didn't expect them to be so fascinated by what I said."

At night, Xu Hanye and Qiao Jinjin lived in Chu Tianxing's East Palace.

Although Chu Tianxing is nearly thirty years old, there are no other women in the East Palace except for a concubine.

However, the identity of this concubine was rather special. Her name was Qu Fengyan, and she was the concubine's daughter of the Queen's younger brother.

The Queen's faction's smooth overthrow was also closely related to this Concubine Qu Liangdi.

Ten years ago, Chu Tianxing saved Qu Fengyan's life, which made Qu Fengyan have a deep affection for Chu Tianxing, but she also knew the hatred between the Qu family and Chu Tianxing.

Qu Fengyan's life in the Qu family was not as glamorous as outsiders saw. Not only did her stepmother treat her harshly, but her stepsister also took pleasure in bullying her. Even her aunt's mother was killed by her stepmother. However, Qu Fengyan's father had no sympathy at all. He did not treat Qu Fengyan and her mother as human beings at all.

So when Chu Tianxing asked Qu Fengyan for help, Qu Fengyan agreed without hesitation.

Qu Fengyan helped Chu Tianxing find evidence of the Qu family's treason, and Chu Tianxing made Qu Fengyan his concubine.

Qiao Jinjin talked to Xu Hanye for half the night, and finally said with a slight smile, "Go and see this Qu Liangdi tomorrow. If she is a good woman, I would advise you to cherish her. If she has ulterior motives, I don't mind helping you deal with her."

Xu Hanye shook his head in amusement and said, "Even if she has evil intentions, it takes my brother-in-law to deal with her personally. She is the only woman in the East Palace so far, so I guess my brother-in-law has feelings for her."

Aunt Qiao pouted her red lips and said, "That's right. We can't have a rift with Big Brother because of Qu Liangdi."

Qu Liangdi stood under the crabapple tree in the yard, looking at the world above her head, with a unique sense of melancholy between her brows.

Aunt Qiao, who was far away, raised her eyebrows when she saw Qu Fengyan like this. Qu Fengyan was good-looking. Although her appearance was not stunning at first sight, she had a unique feeling of a beautiful girl next door.

When Aunt Qiao came closer, Qu Fengyan looked at her blankly for a few seconds, smiled bitterly and asked, "Who are you?"

Qiao Jinjin knew that Qu Fengyan had misunderstood the relationship between her and her eldest brother, so she smiled and said, "I am the prince's biological sister. You should have heard of it."

Qu Fengyan visibly breathed a sigh of relief, walked forward and performed a standard court etiquette towards Aunt Qiao.

"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Aunt Qiao helped Qu Fengyan up, and she also approved of Qu Fengyan in her heart. She was not wrong, this Qu Liangdi really liked her eldest brother.

"Sister-in-law, don't be so polite"

Hearing Aunt Qiao calling her sister-in-law, although Qu Fengyan was happy in her heart, she still shook her head and said, "Your Highness, I am just a concubine, how can I be worthy of being called sister-in-law?"

Aunt Qiao raised her chin and said with a smug smile, "I like my sister-in-law. My elder brother listens to me the most. Tomorrow I will let my elder brother make you the Crown Princess."

Qu Fengyan was touched by Qiao Jinjin's cuteness, but still shook her head helplessly, "Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. His Highness the Crown Prince has always been resentful of me, but it is only because I am the daughter of the Feng family that I am already satisfied to be with His Highness the Crown Prince."

The conversation with Qu Fengyan gave Qiao Jinjin a deeper understanding of her.

Qu Fengyan is a quiet person. It can be said that stealing evidence of Qu family's treason for Chu Tianxing is already a great thing.

The next day, Jin Jin Qiao came to Chu Tianxing's study with great interest, followed by Xu Hanye, while the three little ones stayed in the palace to accompany Concubine Zhen.

"Brother, brother"

Chu Tianxing heard the tender cry of Aunt Qiao and said with a smile, "What are you so happy about?"

Aunt Qiao took Xu Hanye's hand and said to Chu Tianxing, "I heard that there is a Concubine Feng in your brother's palace. Shall we go out and play? It's boring in the East Palace."

Chu Tianxing silently tapped Qiao Jinjin's head with his finger and said, "She is the daughter of the Feng family. Are you sure you want to be with her?"

Although Chu Tianxing said this, Jinjin Qiao saw pain in his eyes.

"Brother, it's not easy for a person to meet someone they truly love in this life. If you miss her, won't you regret it?"

"Besides, Feng Liangdi has done a lot for you, brother. You should trust her. After all, everything she has done so far is for you, brother."

Chu Tianxing pursed his lips, and seeing that Xu Hanye also looked in agreement, he nodded slightly and said, "Well, then the four of us will go out and play for a while. The Yongding Lake in Beishang has nice scenery, so let's go there."

Qu Fengyan looked at the light side dishes in front of her, not having any appetite at all, and sighed, "Take it away."

The maid Rong'er frowned and said, "My lady, please eat a little. Perhaps His Highness is too busy. He will come to see you after this busy period."

Qu Fengyan moved her lips slightly, and moisture appeared in the corners of her eyes. Perhaps Rong'er herself did not believe what she said. It had been a month, a whole month since she had seen Chu Tianxing, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation were getting worse and worse.

Qu Fengyan knew that Chu Tianxing had not done this. It was simply that the servants neglected her because they saw that she was not favored.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has asked you to dress up and take you to Yongding Lake for a tour."

The person who spoke was Chu Tianxing's guard. Qu Fengyan's eyes lit up for a moment, and Rong'er smiled and said, "My lady, I told you that His Highness was just too busy before."

Qu Fengyan thought of Aunt Qiao whom she met yesterday and felt very grateful. She knew that maybe His Highness would take her with him today. It must be Her Royal Highness the Princess who asked.

In the remote cold palace of the imperial palace, the deposed Queen Qu was listening to the words of a young eunuch with a cold face, and said with a mocking smile, "Yongding Lake... Haha, you finally left the Eastern Palace and betrayed our Qu family. How dare you still live in this world?"

"Let's do it"

The deposed queen issued the killing order against Qu Fengyan without hesitation.

Yongding Lake is located in the south of the northern capital city of Shang. It has picturesque scenery and is sparsely populated. It was enclosed by the royal family several years ago and only officials were allowed to come here.

The luxurious boat was parked on Yongding Lake. The lake surface was sparkling and two mandarin ducks were playing on the lake.

Qiao Jinjin and Qu Fengyan stood by the lake, looking at the two mandarins. Qu Fengyan uttered with envy, "I only envy the mandarins, not the fairies. I envy them so much."

Aunt Qiao narrowed her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that my brother doesn't have feelings for you, he just still has some grudges in his heart. I will persuade him."

Qu Fengyan smiled gratefully and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to persuade His Highness, the Crown Prince. Love cannot be forced. I will wait for His Highness until the day when he lets go of his grudges."
