1381 Asking for help requires a begging attitude
Three days. It only took Lan Jiuqing three days to get the map of Jiuzhou and replace the leader of Xuanqing Pavilion.
It is impossible to destroy Xuanqing Pavilion in three days, but it is not difficult to push another person to the position of Pavilion Master in three days.
There is never a shortage of people who want to get to the top in this world, and the same is true among women. Xuanqing is not the only one in power in Xuanqing Pavilion. There are many people eyeing the position of Pavilion Master, and Lan Jiuqing chose a smart woman to cooperate with.
With the cooperation from both inside and outside, it would not be difficult to take down Xuanqing Pavilion. As for the follow-up affairs of Xuanqing Pavilion, Lan Jiuqing was unwilling to take care of it. He left all the affairs to the new Pavilion Master and told Bu Jingyun that he would go first.
"Senior Brother, can't I go with you?" Before leaving, Qin Baoer found Lan Jiuqing, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
Lan Jiuqing did not refuse directly, but asked: "Can you ride a horse? Can you travel day and night? Can you survive the days of sleeping in the open air? You can't do anything, how can you... go with me?"
"Senior Brother, I..." She couldn't do anything, but didn't they say they would go to Beijing together? Why did he leave her behind?
"Didn't Jingyun tell you that I was in a hurry to return to Beijing?" Lan Jiuqing found that his concentration was getting worse and worse. In the past, when facing Bao'er, he could still be patient and talk to her, but now he couldn't...
If Su Wenqing had not lied to him, Feng Qingchen must be very desperate at this moment, and even had his heart locked up. He had to rush back to Beijing as soon as possible, because Feng Qingchen needed him.
"Yes." Qin Baoer nodded. Knowing that Lan Jiuqing was a man who could do great things, she could only suppress her reluctance and said, "Brother, be careful on the road. You have to take good care of your injuries."
"Yes. Bu Jingyun will accompany you to Jiangnan. There are doctors in Jiangnan who can cure your heart disease. When your heart disease is cured, you can live like a normal person. I will have lived up to my master's instructions." Without the trouble of heart disease, some things can be brought up. Lan Jiuqing felt that he had delayed for too long.
If we delay any further, as Bu Jingyun said, it will only hurt the two women.
"Yeah." Qin Baoer responded softly with a sweet look on her face, but unfortunately Lan Jiuqing had already turned and left and didn't even see it.
Lan Jiuqing instructed Bu Jingyun again and asked him to go to Jiangnan to find the Valley Master and Sun Sixing, then he set off on horseback. Although Bu Jingyun was worried about Lan Jiuqing's shoulder injury, he could not change the decision made by Lan Jiuqing.
The Ninth Prince traveled with injuries while Feng Qingchen stayed in the Feng Mansion to recuperate. More than half a month had passed. Although he still couldn't let it go, he finally got more open-minded. Feng Qingchen's mood was not as low as before. Although he didn't gain weight, he did not lose weight at all. The four beautiful maids Chun Hui could finally laugh.
A lot of things happened in the past half month. Prince Luo was imprisoned and Prince Zhou was reprimanded. It seems that both of them have no chance of inheriting the throne.
Afterwards, the emperor went crazy for some reason and actually named the eighth prince, who was less than one year old, as Prince Rui. This made people wonder if the emperor wanted to make the eighth prince the crown prince.
The Eighth Prince's mother was the Imperial Noble Consort, the first person in the harem with a noble status. But how old was the Eighth Prince? It would be detrimental to the country to establish such a young crown prince. But the Emperor did not mention it, and no one else dared to mention it either, because of the incident with Prince Luo. Now the Emperor got furious when the issue of establishing a crown prince was mentioned. Several civil servants from Prince Zhou's faction were killed by the Emperor finding excuses.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen has been recuperating at home during this period, and her life is no different from that of an old person. The bloody wind outside seems to have nothing to do with her at all. She watches the clouds roll and unfold quietly every day, and her body exudes a peaceful and indifferent aura, which made everyone in the Feng Mansion suspect that Feng Qingchen has seen through the world, but no one dared to step forward and ask.
Among these things, only one was related to Feng Qingchen, that is, Si Cheng was stripped of his military power because of a crime.
and official position, and is now idle at home. Because of this incident, Feng Qingchen obtained the Eighteen Riders of the Si Family.
With the eighteen riders of the Si family serving as guards for the Feng Mansion, Feng Qingchen felt that she could finally have a good sleep. As for Si Cheng?
Knowing that he had fallen into someone else's trap, Si Cheng had no choice but to accept the defeat in the absence of any evidence. In addition, Marshal Si also hoped that Si Cheng could have time to go to Jiangnan for treatment, so the Si family did not take any further action.
"Father, I am unwilling to accept this." This was Si Cheng's inner voice, but when he heard Marshal Si say, "Do you think that this was only the work of King Luo? The one who really took action was that person. He handed over the garrison outside the imperial city to you, so I wondered why he trusted us so much. You know, we are close to Feng Qingchen, how could he not think too much? But it's better this way. Without military power, at least I am still alive. That person was merciful for not killing us all."
Although Zhai Dongming's treatment in Xuanyi Valley was kept secret, the emperor would surely be able to find out something if he wanted to. Marshal Si knew the emperor's suspicious character very well and guessed that the emperor was behind this, so he did not dare to act rashly.
When Si Cheng heard what his father said, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he had no choice but to give the Eighteen Riders of the Si Family to Feng Qingchen. Then, taking the letter written by Feng Qingchen, he went to Jiangnan to find the master of Xuanyi Valley.
The day Si Cheng left, his face was terribly sour, and his eyes were like knives, scraping at Feng Qingchen from time to time: He who steals someone else's love is a villain.
In contrast to Si Cheng, Feng Qingchen was in a very good mood. When she thought about getting the Si family's eighteen horses, Feng Qingchen could even laugh while eating. As for being called a villain by Si Cheng, Feng Qingchen didn't care at all. She was not Jin Ling and didn't need to care too much about her reputation.
Because of this, Feng Qingchen was happy for several days, but this joy disappeared when Princess Anping arrived.
Although Feng Qingchen's left hand was not in a cast, it was fixed with a steel plate. Normally, she would not see visitors, but Anping was different.
Even though she was the daughter of the deposed empress, the emperor would not trouble her or implicate her if she wanted to marry into the Northern Mausoleum. However, in the last few months, the emperor would still give her the honor she deserved. After all, a daughter was different from a son. A daughter would not take away his throne, but could help him share his worries.
In just half a month, Princess Anping seemed to have become a different person. Her arrogance was gone, replaced by an indescribable loneliness and desolation, completely devoid of her previous flamboyance and liveliness.
The palace is a really good place. All kinds of people can be brought up here, and even the dumbest person can learn to be smart.
Feng Qingchen only took a glance, then retracted his gaze and asked Princess Anping to sit down: "Princess, please sit down."
Princess Anping hated Feng Qingchen, but now she didn't have the ability to compete with Feng Qingchen, so she could only give in.
Suppressing the humiliation and hatred in her heart, Princess Anping bit her lip and said, "Feng Qingchen, I came to you today to ask you for something."
"Beg me? Is this how the princess begs people?" Feng Qingchen wasn't being pretentious, but she didn't take the initiative to cause trouble for Princess Anping, so Princess Anping should be laughing secretly.
Now that Princess Anping has taken the initiative to bump into her, if she doesn't make things difficult for her, how can she be worthy of Princess Anping's "kindness" to her in the past two years.
“Feng Qingchen, what do you want… Don’t think that you can step on me just because something happens to my mother and brother. I am still a princess.” Princess Anping clenched her fists. Even though she was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, she held back.
Obviously, she has heard a lot of such words during this period.
"Princess, you said the wrong thing. You are the deposed queen."
"Feng Qingchen, you..."
With a bang, Princess Anping slammed the table, stood up, and looked at Feng Qingchen hatefully. Feng Qingchen was not afraid at all, and slowly raised her head to confront her...
Things change. So what if she is the emperor's daughter? Even if she, Feng Qingchen, begs for help, she will have to bow her head obediently!
