1211 Secret, the Ninth Emperor's Mighty
With a loud bang, the Ninth Prince kicked the door open. The door was badly damaged and had a big hole in it. It was hanging precariously on the doorpost, swaying back and forth with a creaking sound, as if it would fall down at any time.
In the room, Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment before reacting. With the help of the moonlight, she saw who was coming and asked in surprise, "Ninth Uncle? Why are you here?"
"If I don't come, you'll probably suffocate yourself to death." The Ninth Prince couldn't see Feng Qingchen's appearance at the moment, but just by listening to the voice he could infer how depressed Feng Qingchen was at the moment.
"I..." Feng Qingchen stepped forward and wanted to explain, but as soon as he took a step, his balance was unstable and he fell forward.
The Ninth Prince was startled and quickly stepped forward to hug Feng Qingchen: "Be careful."
Feng Qingchen fell into the arms of the Ninth Prince. She did not struggle to stand up, but just said, "I feel a little dizzy after standing for a long time."
"Hmph... I think you are torturing yourself." The Ninth Prince was furious. He picked up Feng Qingchen and put him on the bed. He said to the servants outside the door, "Why are you all standing there? Can't you see that your master is not feeling well? Come in and serve him."
"Yes." Chunhui and Qiuhua secretly cursed their bad luck. They didn't dare to come in.
The Ninth Prince did not like having women serving him, but they came forward fearlessly.
Since the Ninth Prince had given the order, Chun Hui and Qiu Hua had no choice but to go ahead and light up the lights in the room first.
The room was bright, and the Ninth Prince could see clearly how miserable Feng Qingchen was. Her face was pale, her eyes were bloodshot, her hair was long gone, her face was covered with deep and light marks, and her clothes were also stained.
Feng Qingchen happened to be wearing a light-colored dress today, so even after it dried, the marks were extremely obvious. As for the marks on her face, they were probably left by her wet hair sticking to her face, or they might be tear marks.
"Look at you, you're such a grown-up, but you look like a calico cat, so ugly and dirty." Seeing Feng Qingchen's pitiful appearance, the Ninth Prince couldn't even get angry.
Chun Hui and Qiu Hua tried their best to reduce their presence, fetched some clean water, put away a set of clean clothes for Feng Qingchen, and then ran out quickly.
These two maids are smart.
The Ninth Prince wet the handkerchief and wiped Feng Qingchen's face and hands clean, and tucked her messy hair behind her ears.
After a little tidying up, Feng Qingchen was finally presentable.
After all this, Feng Qingchen felt much more energetic. Facing the frosty eyes of the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen lowered her head embarrassedly.
"You feel ashamed now, what did you do before?" The Ninth Prince would not let Feng Qingchen go, and said venomously.
"I..." Feng Qingchen said hesitantly, but didn't know how to say it.
The Ninth Prince pulled a chair and sat down: "Tell me, what's wrong with you? Are you blaming yourself for Sun Zhengdao's death?"
The Ninth Prince knows Feng Qingchen too well.
"He died because of me." Feng Qingchen said sadly.
"So what? So many people died because of you. If you want to blame everyone of them, you should do nothing else in your life and just blame yourself and feel guilty." Every word the Ninth Prince said today was filled with anger.
He was angry that Feng Qingchen was making fun of his own body.
"It's different. Sun Zhengdao is different from others."
The Ninth Prince sneered and said sarcastically: "What's the difference? It's a human life. Just because he is Sun Sixing's father, it has to be different?"
"Are you telling me that all living beings are equal?" Feng Qingchen did not answer, but asked the Ninth Uncle instead.
"No, this king never believes in sentient beings.
All are equal, but they all believe in the same destiny, there is only one. "All beings are equal? What a joke, they are born into the royal family, they have much more than ordinary people when they are born, how can they be equal.
"Yes, we only have one life. But I don't care about the life and death of anyone. If someone I don't know dies, I will at most say something regretful. But if a loved one around me dies, I will be sad and heartbroken." Even doctors, who have seen too many lives and deaths, cannot avoid this.
The Ninth Prince was in no mood to talk to Feng Qingchen about principles, so he just asked, "Are you responsible for Sun Zhengdao's death?"
"He's dead, how can I be responsible? Even if I die now, I can't bring him back." She just felt guilty. She felt sorry for Si Xing. If it weren't for her...
If you think and act, you will not lose your parents.
“I thought you didn’t know. Sun Zhengdao is already dead, and nothing you do can save his life. What you should do now is not to blame yourself here, but to find the murderer. Before you find the murderer, how can you say that he died because of you?” Even if he knew the cause of Sun Zhengdao’s death, the Ninth Prince would not say it.
"Sun Zhengdao left the imperial city quietly at the beginning, perhaps he offended someone and entrusted Sun Sixing to you. You have already done your best to help them take care of Sun Sixing." In the eyes of the Ninth Uncle, although Sun Zhengdao died because of Feng Qingchen, it had nothing to do with Feng Qingchen. That was Sun Zhengdao's life.
Feng Qingchen took care of Sun Sixing for him and took Sun Sixing as his apprentice, which was already a favor to the Sun family.
Uh... Feng Qingchen was stunned. What the Ninth Uncle said seemed to make sense.
Why did Sun Zhengdao leave without saying goodbye? What happened to him?
Seeing Feng Qingchen lost in deep thought, the Ninth Prince was afraid that she would think too much, so he interrupted her thoughts and said, "Don't think about it. I'll ask my servants to bring you some food. Have a good sleep after you finish eating. I'll find out who sent Sun Zhengdao's head to the Feng Mansion. I'll also go and take a look at Sun Sixing."
If Feng Qingchen listened carefully, she would find that the Ninth Prince never mentioned investigating Sun Zhengdao's death from beginning to end, but only talked about investigating who sent Sun Zhengdao's head to the Feng Mansion.
But... Feng Qingchen's thoughts were confused at the moment, and she didn't listen carefully to what the Ninth Uncle said. She just responded obediently. The Ninth Uncle didn't give Feng Qingchen the chance to ask more questions. He just said a few words and left.
He was in a hurry and one could tell at a glance that the Ninth Prince was very busy.
The servants of the Feng Mansion were very smart. When they saw the Ninth Emperor Uncle coming out, they hid early, fearing that the Ninth Emperor Uncle would be unhappy and kick them.
The Ninth Prince Uncle found Sun Sixing, and no one knew what he said to Sun Sixing. The servants only saw that when Sun Sixing sent the Ninth Prince Uncle out, he was in a daze, as if he had suffered a great blow.
To Sun Sixing, the Ninth Uncle's words were indeed a blow, but combined with his understanding of his father, he became more and more convinced of the Ninth Uncle's words.
If that is the case, then the master is not the master, but the master?
Sun Sixing lay in bed, staring at the roof in a daze...
The news was so shocking that Sun Sixing was unable to cope with it. He had to calm down and think carefully.
Sun Sixing's silence made the secret guards who were staring at him breathe a sigh of relief.
After the Ninth Prince and Sun Sixing finished talking about Feng Li's daughter and the Sun family, he asked the secret guards to keep an eye on them. He was afraid that Sun Sixing would not be able to accept the news for a while and do something stupid, or go to question Feng Qingchen.
After hearing the report from the secret guard, Sun Sixing just lay on the bed in a daze, and the Ninth Prince nodded with satisfaction.
Although Sun Zhengdao's son was a little naive and had a poor tolerance, he had excellent character. Sun Zhengdao taught his son very well. It was also a good thing for Sun Sixing that he did not inherit the Sun family's mission...
