1354 Clues, Xie Family and the Princess
Feng Qingchen's shocked expression pleased Princess Anping, and the smile on Princess Anping's face became even brighter.
"Feng Qingchen, it's not too late for you to kneel down now. Once I feel better, I may let you live two more days for the sake of the Ninth Prince." Thinking that when they went to Beiling, Feng Qingchen would let her control him, Princess Anping was in a good mood and had a hint of anticipation.
In this life, she has fallen into the hands of Feng Qingchen.
After the initial shock, Feng Qingchen had calmed down. Looking at Princess Anping's smug smile, Feng Qingchen curled his lips and smiled: "Princess, even if I am one of your dowry and go to Beiling with you, it does not mean that I will stay in Beiling forever."
It seems that she and Beiling are really destined to be together. Originally, the Ninth Prince wanted to go to Beiling openly in the name of sending Princess Anping to get married. Now, they have reached the same destination. She has become one of the dowry items, so she has to go to Beiling no matter what.
But she really didn't like being treated like an object. It was a terrible feeling.
"Feng Qingchen, do you think Beiling is the same as Dongling? Without the protection of the Ninth Prince, you are nothing in Beiling. You want to leave Beiling? You are dreaming. As long as I am in Beiling, you must stay in Beiling. If I go back to Dongling, you can only stay in Beiling." Princess Anping couldn't help laughing when she thought of that beautiful picture: "Feng Qingchen, tell me, when you go to Beiling, without the Ninth Prince to protect you, what can you do to be arrogant?"
Princess Mingwei also smiled faintly at the right time: "Qingchen, it is a great honor to accompany the princess to get married. It is your luck that Anping chose you. You must cherish it."
She didn't hate Feng Qingchen, but she was jealous of Feng Qingchen and resented Feng Qingchen.
If it weren't for Feng Qingchen, she could have married the Ninth Uncle, she wouldn't have become so hateful, she wouldn't have killed her master, but...
It was all because of Feng Qingchen that she could never go back. Her husband died, and her escape route was cut off. She could only stay in Dongling, but she didn't want to see Feng Qingchen, and didn't want to see Feng Qingchen with the Ninth Prince, so she suggested to the Queen and Princess Anping that Feng Qingchen be a female official and accompany Anping to marry in Beiling, so...
She will never have to see Feng Qingchen again, and Feng Qingchen will never be able to be with the Ninth Prince.
Princess Anping's words in the palace were not made up. As soon as Feng Qingchen stepped into the Feng Mansion, an imperial decree arrived at the Feng Mansion. The Queen personally appointed Feng Qingchen as a female official to accompany Princess Anping to marry Beiling.
The imperial decree was issued so hastily that Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince were not given any room to maneuver. Although the imperial decree would not be as severe as an imperial decree that would exterminate the entire family if disobeyed, its authority could not be challenged. At least Feng Qingchen could not refuse the imperial decree.
"Miss, what should we do?" Tong Jue and Tong Yao were about to cry.
Feng Qingchen is the only one in the Feng family. Anyone with brains would not let Feng Qingchen be a companion. This would cut off the Feng family's retreat.
Feng Qingchen had known about this for a long time, so he was not panicked at all. He took the imperial edict calmly and gave a generous reward to the eunuch who delivered the eunuch.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict looked confused and thought that Feng Qingchen was frightened silly. He turned around and ran away, fearing that Feng Qingchen would come to his senses and beat him up.
Feng Qingchen turned around and saw the servants in the room, all of them looked as pale as death, and said, "Okay, why are you all so sad? It's just a dowry for Beiling, I'm not going there and never coming back."
Feng Qingchen casually handed the imperial decree to Chun Hui: "Take it and worship it."
"Miss, the female official who came with the dowry cannot come back." Chun Hui thought Feng Qingchen didn't know, so she explained in a low voice.
"I know. You don't have to worry about this matter. Just do what you need to do. There is still more than a month before Princess Anping's wedding. A lot of things can happen during this period." It was Princess Anping who was impatient. If Princess Anping could bear it and wait until two days before her wedding to issue this imperial decree, she would be unprepared at all and would have to be subject to Princess Anping's control when she arrived at Beiling.
Now?
Since she is the descendant of Queen Fengli, she has to exercise her rights while shouldering the responsibility of the surname. It is unclear who will be controlled by whom when the descendants of Fengli are in Beiling.
Feng Qingchen's calmness made everyone in the mansion put away their anxiety and fear. Feng Qingchen was the backbone of the Feng mansion. If she said there was no need to worry, the servants in the mansion would naturally not panic anymore.
Tong Jue and Tong Yao smiled quickly: "We were too impatient. Please punish us, Miss."
"There's no need for punishment. Have you made any progress in the things I asked you to investigate?" Feng Qingchen looked at the two of them sharply. During this period, there was almost no significant progress in the few things that Tong Jue and Tong Yao had done.
The smiles on Tong Jue and Tong Yao's faces froze immediately, and they replied respectfully: "My lady, I have already found out that it was Master Zuo and Master Ouyang who spread the rumors."
"Zuo An and Dou Dou? Have you asked them the reason?" Zuo An was really asking for trouble, causing her trouble one after another.
beat.
"I haven't asked the two gentlemen yet." Tong Jue and Tong Yao were about to cry. Those two people were not someone they could find. It was already not easy for them to find them out.
Feng Qingchen didn't make things difficult for the two of them and told them not to worry about it anymore, as she would go and ask about it herself.
"I asked you to keep an eye on the Xie Mansion. It's been so long. Have you made any progress?" Feng Qingchen would ask this question almost every now and then. Tong Jue and Tong Yao kept shaking their heads and said no. Fortunately, Tong Jue stopped shaking his head today and said excitedly, "Miss, the spy buried in the Xie Mansion sent me news. I accidentally heard the head of the Xie family mention the words "eldest princess". I suspect that the Xie family and Xiling are secretly communicating."
"Princess Xiling?" Feng Qingchen bent her fingers slightly and tapped lightly on the table. Tong Jue and Tong Yao did not dare to look up without Feng Qingchen's order. It was not until Feng Qingchen came to his senses that he let the two of them leave.
Tong Jue and Tong Yao rubbed their sore necks and smiled bitterly at each other: The young lady has become more and more unpredictable recently, and her actions are unpredictable. I really don't know what she is thinking.
"Bring Zuo'an here." Feng Qingchen said to the air, and after a stick of incense, Zuo'an appeared in front of Feng Qingchen.
"You're looking for me?" Zuo An looked arrogant and cold. Feng Qingchen knew that Zuo An was just being upset, so she didn't try to get close to him. She said directly, "I suspect that the Xie family of Dongling is secretly colluding with the princess. You know the princess' affairs best. Go check the Xie family and see what's going on between the princess and the Xie family."
"I'm not your subordinate." Zuo An said dissatisfiedly.
"I know. But you demolished my house and spread rumors to ruin the reputation of me and the Ninth Prince. Do you think that if I don't say anything, the things can be treated as if they never happened?" Feng Qingchen threatened.
Zuo An snorted in dissatisfaction: "After we investigate this matter, we will write it off and you are not allowed to mention it again."
"Okay." Feng Qingchen was very straightforward. Seeing this, Zuo An added, "You can talk to the Ninth Prince as well."
"Okay, I want evidence of the relationship between the Xie family and the eldest princess." Since the opportunity came to her doorstep, she would certainly not let it go. If she didn't use it to bring down the Xie family, she would not be named Feng.
"I'll try my best." Zuo An answered conservatively. After all, no one can guarantee such things.
"I'm waiting for your good news." Feng Qingchen wanted Zuo An to get the evidence, otherwise... the account between them would have to be settled.
Zuo An nodded and said before leaving: "Take good care of my brother."
"Don't worry." Feng Qingchen agreed readily.
Just as the Ninth Uncle said, with Zuo An's younger brother around, it would be much easier for her to get things done for Zuo An, at least she wouldn't have to spend any more money.
The Ninth Prince finally did something that pleased her.
A message to readers: It’s the last day of this month, so don’t waste your monthly tickets. I’m asking for monthly tickets for the fifth theater.
Feng Qingchen: It seems like it’s been seven years since we met each other?
Ninth Prince: Well, to be exact, it is seven years, three months and four days.
Feng Qingchen: Why do you remember it so clearly? You're not counting the days every day, are you? Wouldn't it be hard to live with me alone every day?
Ninth Uncle: Last year you asked me, but I didn’t explain clearly. You said I didn’t have you in my heart. This year…
Feng Qingchen: Okay, I can’t argue with you, I was wrong.
Ninth Prince: When did I ever say that you were wrong? Since you want to admit your mistake, I will not force you.
Feng Qingchen: We have been together for seven years. Have you noticed that things between us are becoming more and more dull? Do you think we have reached the seven-year itch?
Ninth Prince: What is the seven-year itch?
Feng Qingchen: That is to say, we have been together for seven years, and you will feel bored and want to find another woman because of the dull and routine days we have together.
Ninth Prince: Why this prince? This prince will never look for another woman. You are the one who said it was boring. Are you planning to look for another man?
Feng Qingchen: Not back then, you were my only adulterer.
Ninth Uncle: I am not an adulterer.
Feng Qingchen: If not an adulterer, then what kind of husband is that?
Ninth Uncle: Husband!
Feng Qingchen: Don’t give me that. I didn’t marry you. You have no status or position. At most you are called an adulterer.
Ninth Prince: Then you will marry me now?
Feng Qingchen: Are you kidding? I'm giving up my happy life to marry you? You're thinking too much. Be a good adulterer, or you may not be allowed to be one one day.
Ninth Prince: ... (Is it really the seven-year itch?)
