1352 Internal strife, killing each other

Have you known for a long time that I am the descendant of Queen Fengli?

Should I answer honestly or tell a white lie?

The Ninth Prince stared at Feng Qingchen for a long time, and finally nodded obediently: "Yes."

"When did you know? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The answer was within Feng Qingchen's expectations. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he could still accept it.

This time, the Ninth Prince answered without thinking, "Not long ago. There was no evidence at the time, and you wouldn't believe it even if I told you."

How long ago is not long ago?

Feng Qingchen wanted to ask, but swallowed the words back. If she asked too many questions, she would definitely kick the Ninth Prince off the bed. As for whether she believed it or not, it seemed to have nothing to do with whether the Ninth Prince said it or not.

Feng Qingchen glanced at the Ninth Uncle and didn't ask any more questions.

The Ninth Prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned the topic to the Fengli clan. He briefly told Feng Qingchen about the situation in Beiling, and then concluded: "In early winter, we will go to Beiling. The snow lotus only blooms at this time."

"Winter is only two months away. What about the Lu family's property? Are you going to ignore it?" Feng Qingchen was unwilling to accept this. Why should the Lu family's things go to that scumbag Dong Ling Zi Luo? She would rather feed it to the dogs than let Dong Ling Zi Luo take it.

"Winter is not suitable for going out to sea. Prince Luo and the Queen will not choose to go in winter." The Ninth Prince looked up at the sky silently. Feng Qingchen became stupid tonight, but Feng Qingchen suddenly changed the subject and asked about the Ninth Prince immediately.

"You know so much about the previous dynasty, what is your relationship with it?" If the Ninth Prince was not born in the Dongling royal family, she would have suspected that the Ninth Prince was a descendant of the Lan family.

The Ninth Prince smiled in an unfathomable manner and said, "This king is indeed related to the previous dynasty. You need to understand the details. It would be meaningless to tell you."

If one wants to unify the nine provinces, how could one not know about the previous dynasty? Feng Qingchen knew that since the Ninth Prince said so, he would not tell her directly and would not ask any more questions.

"Fu Lin went to kill Lan Jiuqing at that time because Lan Jiuqing was a descendant of the Lan family. If he knew that I was a descendant of King Feng Li, would he come to kill me?" In comparison, Feng Qingchen was more concerned about this.

"No. He doesn't dare." If it was before, he wouldn't dare to guarantee it, but now he can be sure that Fu Lin is not a person who loses the big picture for the small. Fu Lin places the hope of Fu family's rise on him, so how dare he touch his people.

"That wouldn't be the best. I'm sleepy and I'm going to sleep. You can do as you please." Feng Qingchen yawned, turned over, fell into bed and fell asleep.

Today, she overused her brain and needed to rest. There were some things she needed to think about carefully.

The father is the descendant of Queen Fengli, and the mother is a member of the Lu family. This is a completely different situation. The identity of the descendant of the Lu family will not bring trouble to oneself, but the identity of the descendant of Queen Fengli will bring fatal danger.

“Uh…” The Ninth Prince looked at his empty arms, lowered his hands helplessly, covered Feng Qingchen with the quilt, and after Feng Qingchen’s breathing stabilized, he turned over, got out of bed, and walked out quietly.

In the darkness, Feng Qingchen turned over, slowly opened his eyes, stared at the door, his eyes were dim.

She has told the Ninth Prince all her secrets. When will the Ninth Prince tell her everything about him without reservation?

Inside the secret room of the Su Mansion, Lan Jiuqing, dressed in black and with a silver mask, folded his arms and stared at the blank wall in a daze.

"Jiuqing, why are you here at this time?" Su Wenqing involuntarily slowed down his pace and walked in.

Lan Jiuqing slowly turned around and looked at Su Wenqing: "Feng Qingchen knows his identity."

"What?" Su Wenqing staggered and almost fell: "Who told her?" They kept the news secret very well, and the only person who knew about it, Sun Zhengdao, was dead. Logically, no one else should know about it.

"General Feng had a backup plan. He entrusted the jade box symbolizing King Feng Li's identity to the Si family. Marshal Si gave it to Feng Qingchen today." Lan Jiuqing said.

"The Si family? Why was there no news about them before? General Feng has no relationship with the Si family at all, so why would he entrust such a valuable thing to the Si family?" Su Wenqing frowned and his body tensed involuntarily, trying to think carefully whether he had missed any details.

What kind of secret dealings do the Feng family have with the Si family? Is the Si family actually a member of the Fengli clan?

Seeing Su Wenqing falling into self-doubt, Lan Jiuqing kindly said, "Don't think too much. The Si family and the Feng family have no relationship. Marshal Si is a subordinate of Prince Su. They have no intersection. General Feng entrusted the things to the Si family just to take a gamble."

Of course, Lan Jiuqing knew very well that General Feng did not choose anyone at random. He chose the Si family because, considering all aspects, Marshal Si was the best choice.

Marshal Si was not born into a high-class family, which meant that his knowledge was limited. With his status, he would definitely not be able to recognize the jade box, let alone think of the people and events of the previous dynasty.

Marshal Si is a close confidant of Prince Su. No matter how high he climbs in the future, the emperor will not fully trust him and will not bring him into the center of power. The possibility of the jade box being exposed is extremely low.

Of course, the most important point is that Marshal Si is a trustworthy person.

"General Feng is so courageous that he dares to entrust such a precious thing to someone casually. What if Marshal Si breaks his promise? What if someone recognizes the jade box? By then, even if no one can take out the things in the jade box, Feng Qingchen will not survive." No emperor would allow the descendants of King Fengli to live. If this news gets out, the surviving people of the Fengli clan will not let Feng Qingchen go.

"General Feng has no choice, unless he wants the Fengli King's token to disappear forever." Lan Jiuqing said in a cold voice, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Wenqing, let the people from the No. 1 Manor in the World investigate what happened to General Feng back then, focusing on that battle. I want to know if there were any outsiders involved in that battle."

At that time, General Feng's confidant was able to deliver the jade box to Marshal Si. Why didn't he send it directly back to the capital?

"Do you suspect that the Fengli clan members are taking advantage of the opportunity to snatch the Fengli King's token?" Su Wenqing has been immersed in the center of power for many years. He has seen a lot of infighting in various countries and even large families. It is normal for the Fengli clan to fight among themselves.

Lan Jiuqing nodded: "The Killer Alliance is a force that King Fengli built outside. They are only loyal to King Fengli. A few months ago, those old monsters went to Beiling, but they haven't come back yet. I suspect something happened to them."

"No way, will the Fengli people take action against those old monsters? Aren't they just cutting off their own arms? The Killer Alliance is not a small force." He and Bu Jingyun had some conflicts, openly or secretly, but no matter how much they fought, it would not affect the overall situation.

Lan Jiuqing sneered, "What's the point of keeping a force that can't be used for one's own benefit? The Fengli clan can't be united. Not everyone wants the Fengli daughter or the Fengli king to appear. If Feng Qingchen appears, then the people who control the Fengli clan now must hand over the power in their hands. No one is willing to give away the power they have obtained."

Just like the Lan family, they will kill each other in order to fight for the Jiuzhou token.

If his identity had not been hidden so well, he would not have been so calm over the years.
