Just look at Qin Wan kneeling on the ground, he is so sincere and heartfelt.
Her helplessness and her consideration for the overall situation seemed to be expressed in these words.
Yes, it was just a pierced palm, not a broken hand. You know, Feng Ling had said before that either the fourth brother would break his hand, or he would break his hand?
So, this is the best way?
The Queen looked at Qingyue with a cold gaze. How could this be the best solution? How could his son lose his hand? If Feng Ling wanted to be broken, he could have broken his own.
But I couldn't say these words at this moment, and could only swallow my anger.
When Feng Ling heard Qin Wan's words of retreating to advance, she sneered inwardly, thinking that this cunning woman was really good at lying.
"Get up, no one blames you."
After a long while, I heard the King of Chu say.
Qin Wan stood up from the ground, with his head slightly lowered, the corners of his eyes still red, and he looked scared at this moment.
"Are you satisfied?"
Emperor Chu was furious and spoke to Feng Ling in a bad mood.
"Satisfied? It was Fourth Brother who personally agreed to cut off my hand. Now it's just a pierced palm. What can this son of yours be satisfied with?"
“You really are…”
When Emperor Chu saw Feng Ling still looked dissatisfied, he was almost having a heart attack out of anger.
"However, I am not a heartless person. Since my princess has made her decision, this matter ends here. I will not pursue it further. What do you think, Fourth Brother?"
Feng Ling first spoke to Emperor Chu, then raised her voice and asked Chu Yan.
At this time, Chu Yan had already pulled his hand out from the table, but he had not yet pulled out the dagger. It was pierced through, revealing half of the bloody tip of the dagger, which looked shocking.
Apart from the initial groan when his hand was pierced by the unexpected piercing, he didn't make a sound from beginning to end.
"My Royal Brother thanks Fourth Brother for showing mercy."
Chu Yan said in a low voice.
No one could see the dark currents surging deep in his eyes.
"That's the end of the matter."
Qing Yunyao gritted her teeth and wrapped a silk handkerchief around the wound on Chu Yan's hand to help him stop the bleeding.
The emperor also asked eunuch Liu, who was waiting outside, to call the imperial physician.
"Father, Mother, if everything is alright, Wan'er and I will take our leave."
Feng Ling was in a good mood here. Since the matter was resolved, he naturally didn't want to stay.
The King of Chu felt a headache when he saw him, but he couldn't scold or beat him, so he waved his hand and told him to leave quickly.
"Jinzhi, Wan girl..."
As soon as they left Chengqian Palace, Concubine Feng's voice rang out from behind them. She followed them out with graceful steps, "Jinzhi, did you and Miss Wan have lunch in the palace before going back?"
Concubine Feng already called Qin Wan "Wan girl", and it was obvious that she was satisfied with today's performance.
Feng Ling glanced at Qin Wan and felt that her face seemed a little paler than when she left this morning. He frowned and shook his head, saying, "Mother, let's forget about it today. Fourth Prince's hand is injured. As the Imperial Concubine, you have to show some respect. It's better for you to stay with Father. Let's wait for next time."
"You've become sensible now. Why did you force him so much before? Forget it. Let's not talk about it anymore. Today is really not a good time. You should go back first."
Concubine Feng thought about it and felt that her son was right. Today was indeed not a good time to have a meal together.
"Wan girl, when you have time, ask Jin Zhichang to bring you to the palace. You have been wronged today."
Concubine Feng raised her eyes and looked at Qin Wandao again.
After today's incident, Concubine Feng really looked at her daughter-in-law with new respect.
I used to feel upset whenever I mentioned it, but now I like it more and more.
God knows how she behaved today. She was neither humble nor arrogant and had the demeanor of a great man. Especially that last knife strike, it really made her feel extremely relieved. It not only vented her anger, but also saved Jin Zhi. Most importantly, it dampened Chu Yan's fighting spirit.
Ever since her daughter Jinzhi's leg was broken, she has been depressed. The Queen would remind her of this incident in a sarcastic way every time they met, which always made her sick with anger.
Although her daughter-in-law grew up in the countryside and certainly doesn't know anything about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc., it doesn't matter, as long as she takes it slowly.
And from what she saw, Jin Zhi didn't seem to hate Qin Wan as much as the rumors said.
"Thank you, mother."
Qin Wan agreed obediently. It would be good to have a good relationship with Concubine Feng, and she didn't want to make another enemy.
Feng Ling watched her calling her mother obediently and snorted in her heart. This Qin Wan was really two-faced and good at acting.
"Leave."
He said impatiently.
Seeing her son's impatience, Concubine Feng hurriedly waved goodbye. Ever since her son broke his leg, his temper had become violent and unpredictable.
After saying goodbye to Concubine Feng, Qin Wan and Feng Ling got on the carriage together.
As soon as they left Zhengyang Palace, Feng Ling sneered, "Qin Wan, I really didn't think much of you. I didn't know you were such a good actor."
This was a mockery of her performance in Chengqian Palace.
"Same here."
Qing Yue raised her eyes and retorted. Seeing Feng Ling's pupils shrink, as if she was about to get angry, Qing Yue said again, "Your Highness, have you seen my sincerity?"
"Sincerity? How do I know if this is a self-torture trick you and Chu Yan set up? Qin Wan, if you want me to believe you, you shouldn't hide anything. At least you should make up a complete story and tell me why you want to kill Chu Yan?"
Feng Ling said sarcastically.
Qing Yue frowned, "Feng Ling, you..."
Just as he opened his mouth, he saw Qing Yue's body shaking, and she actually fell directly towards Feng Ling. Her face instantly turned as pale as paper, and her shoulders were visibly stained with bright red bloodstains, which gradually expanded, reflecting the bloodshot eyes of Feng Ling.
"Qin Wan, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Ling paused his hand as he was about to slap her away, held her shoulders, and asked with a frown.
Qin Wan's vision went dark, and her strength was rapidly draining away. She gritted her teeth and struggled to pull out the golden medicine from her sleeve. "I thought I could hold on until we get back home, but it's no use. The wound has ruptured and stained the prince's carriage."
Qin Wan fell into a coma immediately after saying this.
"Zhong Wu, hurry! Go back home!"
Feng Ling snorted.
When Zhong Wu, who was driving the carriage outside, heard that his master's voice was wrong, his face immediately became serious. He shouted "Hoo", whipped the horse, and headed towards the palace gate.
Running all the way back to the mansion, Zhong Wu lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that the prince was only wearing his inner garment, while his outer garment was covering the princess, who seemed to be in a coma.
"Go call Mr. Wang, and hurry."
Feng Ling gave the order, then held Qingyue in her arms and pushed the wheelchair directly to her Lanzhiyuan.
"Your Highness, the princess made an ointment in the middle of the night. When you apply it, the wound heals instantly, leaving not even a trace. But this is only on the surface..."
In fact, the wound is still there beneath the skin, and because the ointment contains a deadly poison, it will only exacerbate the decay of the wound. Fortunately, the princess left an antidote, saying that she would feed it to her after she fell unconscious, which would be used to detoxify her.
