Chapter 416 The Secret of Concubine Qing
The Emperor of Nanqi, who was walking in front, also heard it. He paused and looked at the maid and said, "Concubine Qing's tea art is superb. It's not easy for me to drink a sip of tea brewed by your queen. It seems that the princess is lucky today."
Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did your queen invite me?"
The maid hurriedly lowered her head and said nervously, "Concubine Qing is a concubine in the harem. It is not convenient for her to see a man outside. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Ling Fengxun raised the corner of his lips and sneered.
He and An Yunxi both knew who Concubine Qing was.
Although everyone had heard the news of Madam Xu's death, no body was found. Coincidentally, at this time, there was another concubine, Concubine Qing, who was favored by the emperor, in the harem. No need to guess, everyone knew that Madam Xu had changed her identity.
"The princess is not feeling well. She will go back with me to rest in a while.
I will visit your queen another day." The day he mentioned was an indefinite day.
When the palace maid heard him say this, she immediately became anxious.
She hurriedly took out a purse from her arms, and then stretched out her hand to hand it to An Yunxi.
"This is what the queen gave to me, saying that if the princess does not come, she can take a look at the things inside. As for whether you want to go over for tea after you have seen it, it depends on your opinion." Before
An Yunxi stretched out her hand, Ling Fengyan took the purse and opened it.
The main point is to not let An Yunxi be in any danger.
Baili Yunhe was also standing nearby, just in time to see the words on the note inside the golden sachet.
There were not many words, only three.
Phoenix Life!
An Yunxi narrowed her eyes, stared at the three words for a long time, and a little doubt arose in her heart.
Ling Fengxun directly tore the note in his hand into pieces, and then gently pulled An Yunxi's hand.
"Go back and tell your queen not to play any tricks in front of me. If she dares to touch a hair of the princess, I will let her experience what is called purgatory on earth, and it is worse than death."
Without any explanation, Ling Fengxun took An Yunxi back.
An Yunxi looked at Ling Fengxun's profile with a smile, letting him grab her wrist, but followed him briskly.
Go to see Madam Xu alone?
There is a deep hatred between the two parties. Not only did she kill her daughter, but not long ago, the prince also put a bounty on her head. She knew this clearly.
If she saw Concubine Qing, she would pounce on her and eat her up immediately!
Seeing this, Emperor Nanqi waved to the palace maid and asked her to go back and report.
Baili Yunhe did not leave in a hurry. Facing Emperor Nanqi's back, he said, "Father thinks highly of Concubine Qing. I wonder what you like about Concubine Qing?"
Emperor Nanqi turned his back to Baili Yunhe.
He thought for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile, "You may know it soon."
Everyone dispersed.
Baili Yunhe continued to prepare for tomorrow's wedding banquet. He has been busy these days.
Emperor Nanqi went to the banquet and continued to entertain the people of the Jun family.
Ling Fengxun and An Yunxi returned to their own palace for rest. They did not plan to leave the room today.
After all, if they run around, it is easy for something to go wrong.
The palace maid passed the news here to Concubine Qing again.
When Concubine Qing heard from the palace maid that even if the other party read the words in the brocade bag, he had no intention of coming over, her face suddenly turned a little ugly.
"These people in Beiling Kingdom don't take me seriously."
The palace maid lowered her eyes and whispered, "I think these people are jealous of the queen."
"Really?"
These words made Madam Xu very happy to hear.
The expression on her face eased a little: "It was expected that I didn't invite you. So, you can help me deliver a letter. Since we don't say it in person, it's okay to deliver it by letter. After all, there are some things that I won't be happy if I don't say them."
"Yes, I will prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for you."
The maid took all the things and placed them in front of Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing, also known as Madam Xu, raised the corners of her lips and slowly wrote
. Not long after, a letter was delivered to the East Palace by the maid, and immediately a little eunuch in the East Palace forwarded it to Ling Fengxun.
"My Lord, this is a letter from Concubine Qing. Please take a look."
An Yunxi stuck her head out from inside, with a little curiosity in her eyes.
"It seems that Concubine Qing must have a word with me. She wrote the three words 'Phoenix Fate' to remind me that she is one of the people who knows about my fate."
Ling Fengxun walked to her side and sat down, unfolding the letter in his hand and placing it on the table.
This is not a letter, but Madam Xu has something to say to An Yunxi.
There are densely written words on the paper.
Madam Xu wrote:
I have heard of the name of the princess for a long time, but unfortunately I have not been able to meet her. Today I finally have a chance, but was rejected by the princess, and my heart is very broken.
But I also know that the princess is cautious in her heart, so I wrote a letter to speak for her.
Does the princess know what the phoenix fate means? Master Wei Chi once told me that the phoenix fate is the most noble fate of women in the world, and there is a rumor that whoever gets this woman will get the world.
However, people with this fate have always had bad luck. If they can survive, they can soar to the top of the tree and soar into the sky. If they can't survive, they will be crushed to pieces and their family will be destroyed.
Therefore, as long as someone gives them a little push, they can be completely driven to a dead end.
My family has done a favor to the Yu Yuchi family. In order to repay me and help me prolong my daughter's life, the master chose a woman with this fate.
It's a pity that the phoenix fate is difficult to obtain. Unless this woman dies and her relatives are all wiped out, it can be successful. Even if it is done, it will cost an unimaginable price to replace it successfully.
When seeing this sentence, An Yunxi had already felt the murderous intent emanating from Ling Fengxun.
Concubine Qing seemed to be deliberately trying to irritate the reader, and she recounted the whole story in detail.
How she had gotten in touch with Master Wei Chi, and how she later attempted to take away An Yunxi's fate.
Even though Concubine Qing did not mention any names in this letter, An Yunxi knew what she was talking about. The person who was chosen and had the fate of the phoenix was herself.
Her eyes were drooping, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a thick mist in her eyes that could not be dispelled.
The old abbot had no grudges against her, and she had always wondered why the other party chose to kill her.
Now, Madam Xu explained everything clearly.
At first, she killed five families just to save her daughter's life.
From Hu Li'er, she learned that this woman had killed five girls who were like Hu Li'er, who came from harmonious and blessed families.
Hu Lier sent people to inquire about the first four girls. All their family members, including the girls themselves, were dead.
Their relatives, friends, and neighbors, after receiving a large sum of money and being coerced and lured, kept silent and dared not make it public, trying to erase all traces of those girls.
After all, there are so many people dying every day in the world. They are just a few ordinary people. Who would care?
