1353 Dowry, Never Have to See Feng Qingchen Again

Thinking about the issue of identity, Lan Jiuqing felt even more pressure on himself. This surname brought him a lot of things, and he had to accept them regardless of whether they were good or bad.

He knew that Feng Qingchen already had some suspicions about him, and with Mr. Yuan Xi knowing his identity, Lan Jiuqing sighed secretly.

He was not worried about Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen would know his identity sooner or later. Even if she knew, it would be a matter between the two of them and would not cause much commotion.

What he was worried about was Mr. Yuan Xi. If Mr. Yuan Xi, for the benefit of the Cui family, disregarded the original agreement and revealed his identity or told the Cui family, then he would be in big trouble.

"I hope Mr. Yuan Xi's character remains as noble as ever." Lan Jiuqing muttered to himself. Su Wenqing didn't hear clearly and said, "Jiuqing, what did you say?"

"I mean, what's the situation with the Cui family? Where's that woman named Lan?" Lan Jiuqing reacted very quickly, and with the mask blocking his view, Su Wenqing had no idea that he had lost consciousness.

"You mean Lan Yilin? She's pregnant, and the Cui family is certain it's a boy, so they contacted the Lan family's old members in secret. Some refused and some accepted. Liancheng didn't refuse directly as you ordered, but was pretending to be nice to them and keeping them hanging. The Cui family dealt with the remaining few people with Lan blood in secret, and we were a step late when we arrived. We only saved a seven-year-old boy. Except for the one in Lan Yilin's belly, the Cui family no longer has any Lan blood." Su Wenqing felt heavy-hearted when he thought of the tragic death of the Lan family.

The Lan family, who were once high and mighty, are now at the mercy of others. The proud royal family lives a life lower than that of ants. They are kept in captivity from birth, and when they are no longer of any use, they have no choice but to die.

Lan Jiuqing closed his eyes and said sadly, "Give the dead a proper burial. As for the living child, send him to the No. 1 Manor in the World and teach him some skills to survive. The Lan family must have the pride of the Lan family."

Su Wenqing nodded and lowered his head silently, not daring to let Lan Jiuqing see his flickering eyes.

He was late on purpose.

Jiuqing was unwilling to take action against the Lan family, but he said that all the descendants of the Lan family would be like Jiuqing and would not kill their own people. There were only a few old members of the Lan family left, and if there was one less person to share the spoils, the remaining people would get more help.

Jiu Qing is the descendant of Princess Lan after all. In terms of blood relationship, he is not the most legitimate heir, so...

Jiuqing, I'm sorry. Even though I knew you didn't want to, I still watched the direct descendants of the Lan family die tragically!

After returning to the imperial city, everyone was busy with endless things to do. Feng Qingchen did not have much time to think about what the identity of Queen Feng Li's daughter would bring her, and she was immersed in her busy work.

Feng Qingchen has to arrange and deal with Marshal Si's back injury, Zuo An's brother's illness, and a bunch of women's affairs in the palace one by one. When she has free time, she also has to think about making money.

Without cooperating with the Yun family, she would not have a large income now. She must increase her income, otherwise sooner or later she would be left with nothing.

Unfortunately, Feng Qingchen studied medicine instead of business. Even if there are endless business opportunities here, she doesn't know how to operate them. As a doctor, it is okay to want a rich life, but it is undoubtedly unrealistic to want to become extremely rich.

After thinking for a long time, Feng Qingchen still couldn't come up with a feasible plan. She had no choice but to suppress the matter and plan to discuss it with Su Wenqing someday. For now, she would rather make money by practicing medicine.

As a doctor who enjoyed the trust of the empress and concubines, after Feng Qingchen returned to the imperial city, people came to see her one after another, and she was very happy to collect the consultation fees.

In the palace, being pregnant doesn't mean anything. Anything can happen before the child is born. While Feng Qingchen was away from Beijing, two concubines had miscarriages.

The child was born safely, and it did not mean

You can rest assured that your child can grow up healthily and be loved by the emperor. These are things a mother should think about.

Before the children reach adulthood and move into their own houses, they all need a doctor. Feng Qingchen is undoubtedly the best choice. She will not be bribed by anyone and will not harm you for money. She only does what a doctor should do and never participates in the fights between concubines.

Feng Qingchen was not opposed to treating these concubines. If there was no special matter, she would go to the palace as soon as she received the news. But she hated meeting Princess Mingwei in the palace, especially when Princess Anping was with her.

No matter how unwilling Feng Qingchen was, she had to stop and move aside to make way for the two princesses. Unfortunately, they were clearly here to cause trouble, so how could they let Feng Qingchen get away with it?

"Feng Qingchen, why are you here?" The one who spoke was Princess Anping. She had obviously come to find Feng Qingchen, but her tone was as if she had just seen Feng Qingchen.

Ever since the Queen's family was wiped out, Feng Qingchen hadn't seen this unruly princess for a long time. Hearing Princess Anping's question, Feng Qingchen sighed secretly and stepped forward to reply: "Hello, Princess. I am here at the order of Concubine Lin to come to the palace to see the Queen."

"See a patient? There are imperial physicians in the palace, why do we need you to come? What is the status of Concubine Lin? What qualifications does she have to summon outsiders into the palace? Feng Qingchen, this is the imperial palace, not just anyone can enter." Like all the daughters of the principal wife, Princess Anping does not like the concubines in the harem who are competing for the emperor's favor.

She was no longer at the age where she could act on impulse. Feng Qingchen didn't want to argue with Princess Anping, so she lowered her head and stared at the stone slab in a daze without saying a word.

But she didn't want to cause trouble, and others just thought she was easy to bully. Before Princess Anping got angry, Princess Mingwei chuckled and said, "Anping, when a commoner girl sees the princess in Dongling, shouldn't she kneel down and greet her?"

These words were obviously directed at Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen looked up and met Princess Mingwei's gloating eyes. Princess Mingwei had not expected that Feng Qingchen would be so bold that he would dare to look up without their words. She was startled and dodged, not daring to confront Feng Qingchen.

Feng Qingchen laughed sarcastically, and before Princess Anping could speak, she said, "Princess Mingwei, you have overstepped your authority. This is Dongling."

Princess Mingwei didn't expect Feng Qingchen to be so disrespectful to her. She was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal and said gently, "Qingchen, don't be upset. I was just curious and thought that the customs of the two countries were different." After that, she tugged at Princess Anping's clothes and said, "Anping, it's getting late, let's go back."

Princess Mingwei seemed to be trying to calm the situation, but in fact she was provoking Princess Anping, implying that she could not conquer a commoner woman.

Princess Anping knew she was being used, but she couldn't let go of her pride. She thought Feng Qingchen was cutting her face in front of outsiders, and said angrily: "Feng Qingchen, you haven't saluted me yet."

Alas... Feng Qingchen sighed softly. She really wasn't in the mood to play around with a little girl like Princess Anping.

Glancing at Princess Mingwei from the corner of her eye, Feng Qingchen said calmly, "Your Highness, Princess Mingwei is from Nanling and doesn't know about Dongling. Your Highness, you should know that as the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty, you don't need to kneel down and kowtow to the princess when you see her."

"What if I insist on you kneeling down?" Princess Anping nodded slightly, as if she suddenly thought of something. She smiled triumphantly and said loudly, "Feng Qingchen, I advise you to be obedient. You can't afford the consequences of going against me. You may not know it yet, but my father has agreed to make you a female official and accompany me to marry Beiling. You will be my dowry in the future. If you want to have a better life in Beiling, kneel down for me. If I am in a good mood, I may spare your life."

"What? Dowry to Beiling?" Feng Qingchen was really shocked. When did this happen and how come she didn't hear any news about it.
