The Emperor's Phoenix: The Abandoned Concubine

Guo Baoji successfully introduced the poison to the Eighth Prince, but not only did it fail to make the Emperor determined to treat him, it made the Emperor even more hesitant...

If Guo Baoji wanted to take his life, he would die if the knife missed by a little bit.

To gamble or not to gamble?

The Emperor is struggling...

Everyone except the emperor knew that no matter how much the emperor struggled, he would eventually agree. If he could get treatment, there would still be a glimmer of hope. If he didn't get treatment, he would really have no choice but to die.

The Ninth Prince was not in a hurry at all. No matter what the Emperor chose, he would eventually follow the direction he set.

Originally, the Ninth Prince wanted to give the Emperor more time, but because of the granted marriage, the Ninth Prince was extremely dissatisfied. He decided to stimulate the Emperor and make him agree to the treatment as soon as possible.

After the morning court session that day, the Ninth Prince did not return to Feng Mansion as usual, but went to Zhufeng Tower.

Every time the Ninth Prince went to Zhufeng Tower, several people would die in the capital, so that the officials in the capital were afraid to link the Ninth Prince with Zhufeng Tower, for fear that their own lives would be in danger.

Seeing the Ninth Prince entering the Zhufeng Tower, the spy who was secretly monitoring him became very nervous and immediately reported to his master. No matter what the Ninth Prince was going to do, it was best to prepare for it in advance.

From the moment the Ninth Prince's carriage stopped at the Wind-Chasing Tower, some secret forces in the Imperial City began to take action, trying every means to find out the Ninth Prince's actions and the person he wanted to meet.

Who on earth dares to make the Ninth Prince wait?

The spies waited outside for a long time, but no suspicious people were seen. Just when they thought that the Ninth Prince came to Zhufeng Tower just to have a meal, the Wang family's carriage arrived...

Without any surprise, the person sitting in the carriage was Wang Jinling. Wang Jinling did not shy away from anyone and walked into the Wind Chasing Tower and the private room where the Ninth Prince was staying.

It turned out that the person the Ninth Prince wanted to see was the Eldest Young Master. Come to think of it, the only person in the capital who could make the Ninth Prince wait and dared to make the Ninth Prince wait was the Eldest Young Master, apart from Feng Qingchen.

The meeting between these two people could not be a simple matter of having a meal.

The spies were nervous and excited, and tried every means to enter the Wind-Chasing Tower to find out about the conversation between the two men.

The news was passed on in secret like snowflakes. No matter which spies they were from, their master had only one request, which was to know what the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling had said.

The Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling sat by the window, looking at the hurried passers-by below. Wang Jinling smiled and said, "Such a big show, do you think the capital is not chaotic enough?"

Wang Jinling suddenly received the message from the Ninth Prince Uncle. Although he didn't know what the Ninth Prince Uncle was going to do, Wang Jinling still cooperated.

Anyway...the emperor and the Xie family are about to fall, so it doesn’t matter whether he stands or not.

"Destruction precedes construction." How can you catch everything in one fell swoop without muddying the water?

If Dongling is not stable, he will not be able to do the things that come after. Dongling is his cornerstone. If he does not lay this cornerstone firmly, his future things will be hindered.

"Aren't you afraid of rebellion?" Wang Jinling was not threatening. Both the Zhou King and the Yong King had signs of mobilizing troops, and the city of Chu was also secretly allying with several other cities, seemingly wanting to unite and send troops to Dongling.

Dongling is now a piece of delicious fat meat, and everyone wants to pounce on it and take a bite.

"I have never been afraid." As long as the King of Jiangnan and the King of Qing do not move, it would be a dream for the King of Zhou and Chu Cheng to rebel.

"It's good that you're not afraid. I don't want a fight to break out in Dongling." The Wang family's roots are in Dongling, and chaos in Dongling would have the greatest impact on the Wang family: "Tell me, what is it that brought me to Zhufeng Tower?"

"Don't tell me that you haven't heard any news." The Ninth Prince sneered and swirled the wine in the glass gently, but did not drink it.

Wang Jinling didn't play dumb and asked directly, "Dr. Guo's miraculous knife, or your rejection of the marriage proposal? What? Are you worried that I'll snatch Qingchen away?"

The last sentence was completely self-deprecating. The Ninth Prince snorted coldly: "I will be afraid of you."

"You really don't have to be afraid of me. Qingchen believes in you. What are you afraid of?" Wang Jinling did not admit that he was jealous.

Neither he nor the Ninth Prince can marry Qingchen in a short period of time, but Qingchen is willing to sacrifice herself for the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince had a blank expression on his face. He was unwilling to discuss personal matters with Wang Jinling and went straight to the point: "The Emperor is alienating us."

"I know, but it is destined to fail." Feng Qingchen is not an emotional person. Even if he is dissatisfied at this time, he will consider the overall situation.

"Of course." The Ninth Prince was still very confident about this: "Since he wants to alienate us, we should cooperate in front of him."

"Cooperation? How to cooperate? The Wang family will not participate in the fight for the throne." Wang Jinling understood that the cooperation that the Ninth Prince Uncle was talking about was not the tacit agreement they had made in private, but a cooperation done specifically for the emperor to see.

"No need. I have no plan to become emperor now." The two words "now" fully explained the Ninth Uncle's ambition. Wang Jinling raised his eyebrows and did not say much. He raised his hand and asked the Ninth Uncle to continue.

The Ninth Prince said bluntly: "I will go to the palace tomorrow and take over the position of the Crown Prince's tutor."

"Prince's tutor? I'm not interested in teaching a little kid." Wang Jinling rejected the offer without even thinking.

The Ninth Prince knew this would happen, so he did not try to persuade her. Instead, he said calmly, "One month later, Imperial Master."

Not every prince can ascend to the throne, and not every prince's tutor can be called the emperor's teacher. The Ninth Prince's words determined the path for the Eighth Prince and also for Wang Jinling.

The Eighth Prince is still young, and the Ninth Uncle has no time to take care of Dongling's political affairs. Wang Jinling, the imperial tutor, will definitely be given the right to assist in the administration. At that time, all of Dongling's political affairs will be decided by Wang Jinling. Although he is the imperial tutor in name, he is actually temporarily taking over the position of the emperor.

"Aren't you afraid that I will change Dong Ling's surname to Wang?" This offer was indeed a big one, but it had no appeal to Wang Jinling at all.

The Ninth Prince glanced at Wang Jinling and said seriously, "As long as you have the ability, you can do it."

"Don't you believe I have the ability? You can try to see if I can change Dong Ling's surname to Wang." Wang Jinling's tone was gentle, but the strength implied in his words could not be ignored.

The Ninth Prince sneered, "I said, if you have the ability, you can do it."

Wang Jinling looked straight into the eyes of the Ninth Prince. Wang Jinling did not see any hesitation or regret in his eyes. He shook his head and chuckled, "You really trust me."

"You deserve it." Regardless of anything else, the Ninth Prince still believed in Wang Jinling's character. Wang Jinling would have taken action long ago to usurp the throne of Dongling and would not have waited until this time.

"What you said is very passionate and can easily excite people. Unfortunately, I am no longer at the age of being passionate and impulsive. I will not do such a thing as dying for my friend." Wang Jinling also made his attitude clear.

He can be the imperial teacher, but he will not sacrifice himself or the Wang family for the great cause of the Ninth Prince.

"No need." If Wang Jinling was willing to ignore the interests of the Wang family for him, then he would not be the Wang Jinling he knew.

The two raised their glasses, glanced at the panicked pedestrians below, and raised the corners of their mouths at the same time, revealing a mocking smile.

After more than half a year of turmoil, the capital city is finally settling down!
