The Emperor's Phoenix: The Abandoned Concubine

As for Feng Lizhi's matter, the Ninth Prince could only make a plan but he could not guarantee its success. He was even less sure when he would arrive in Dongling and when he would cause trouble for Lan Jingyang.

This was just a move, just like how the Ninth Prince had people spread the news at sea in advance. He had set up the game, and as for when others would join the game or whether they would join the game, this was no longer within the Ninth Prince's consideration.

It would be best if he joined the game, but if he didn't, he had other ways. He was in the open while the other party was in the dark, and it was not worthwhile to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to find him. He could only stimulate the other party so that the other party would take the initiative to show up.

Because he couldn't determine Feng Lizhi's whereabouts, the Ninth Prince did not tell Feng Qingchen about this, but just stayed with Feng Qingchen in the Feng Mansion.

Because of the marriage rejection, the Ninth Prince felt sorry for Feng Qingchen. Although he was not careful with her in every aspect, he was more attentive to Feng Qingchen than usual. Even when servants were around, he would not dare to let others do some things.

Feng Qingchen didn't notice it at first, until the Ninth Prince said that he had people clean up Shandong and Feng Qingchen could take Feng Li's people over, Feng Qingchen realized that the Ninth Prince was making compensation.

"You don't have to be like this. I don't take the rejection of the marriage proposal to heart." Feng Qingchen felt that she needed to make things clear with the Ninth Prince. Even if he said she was being a slut, she was not used to the Ninth Prince's submissive attitude.

When two people are together, if there is a problem, just talk it out. If it can't be explained, then just quarrel...

"Yeah." The Ninth Prince nodded in agreement, but he was still the same. After Feng Qingchen's attempts to persuade him failed several times, she had no choice but to follow the Ninth Prince.

Fortunately, the Ninth Prince's idle days did not last long. The Emperor and Guo Baoji set a time for the treatment and summoned the Ninth Prince to the palace.

The emperor announced that while he was recuperating and unable to attend the morning court, the prime minister and the ninth uncle would be responsible for handling government affairs, and important decisions would be made after he woke up.

The Ninth Prince's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the Emperor quietly. Just when the Emperor thought that the Ninth Prince would refuse, the Ninth Prince nodded slightly...

This is unusual.

The Ninth Prince Uncle has been too cooperative during this period, to the point that it terrified the Emperor. He always felt that the Ninth Prince Uncle was doing something secretly, but he just couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be that the Ninth Brother really wants to kill me?" The emperor broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of this possibility. His hatred for the Xie family increased even more. He really wanted to issue an order right now to kill all the people in the Xie family.

"No, it's not the right time yet." The emperor clenched his fists, a sinister look flashing in his eyes.

The extermination of the Xie family is a certainty. The reason why the emperor did not plunder the Xie family immediately was because of the poison, but more importantly, he wanted to let the Xie family have a final chance to shine.

To kill the Ninth Prince, you need a reason. The Emperor kept the Xie family to give the new Emperor a reason to kill the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince joined forces with the Xie family to kill the king. This crime is enough to make the Ninth Prince die a hundred times.

The emperor has already laid out the plan. It depends on how the situation changes. If he is better, he naturally cannot use this to frame the ninth uncle. Then the two brothers will have another fight.

The imperial city seemed calm on the surface, but secretly there were undercurrents. All forces were watching Guo Baoji, waiting for him to treat the emperor and for the results of the treatment to come out.

With everyone's expectation, the day arrived when Guo Baoji went to the palace to treat the poison of the Gu for the emperor. Early in the morning, the imperial guards came to Feng Mansion to pick him up, but there was no one within a hundred miles of Feng Mansion...

The road from Feng Mansion to the Imperial Palace was completely deserted. There was not even a single pedestrian on the road. The shops on both sides were closed. There were guards with knives guarding every ten steps, and there were spies in every corner. It was as if the emperor was on tour.

"This scene is terrifying." The Valley Master smacked his lips, looking a little bored.

Feng Qingchen had been holding the gun, and when he heard the Valley Master's words, he said, "There are many people who want to kill you in secret."

There has been no peace in the Feng Mansion these past few days.

"Is there any point in killing our two doctors?" The Valley Master showed contempt in his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart whether he should prepare a few doses and let the Ninth Prince send them to the person behind the scenes.

"You decide the life and death of the emperor." A fragmented Dongling would satisfy the people of the Three Kingdoms and Nine Cities more than a powerful Dongling.

"Things..." The Valley Master just started to speak, but the carriage suddenly stopped, and soon he heard the guards shouting: "Assassin, there is an assassin."

"Is there really someone who wants to kill us?" The Valley Master looked at Guo Baoji and Feng Qingchen, obviously not believing that there was someone so bold as to commit a crime in the Imperial City.

"Protect the two miracle doctors." Feng Qingchen was forgotten again.

The lives of Valley Master and Guo Baoji are related to the Emperor's life, and the people sent by the Emperor to protect them are definitely masters. Although the assassins came suddenly and there were many of them, they could not break through the defense of the Imperial Guards and kill the carriage in a short time.

"To be able to commit a crime in Dongling Imperial City, the enemy must be quite capable." Guo Baoji closed his eyes and listened to the fighting sounds outside the house, judging the enemy's fighting ability from this: "Although the assassins did not have the upper hand, they are quite powerful. It seems that they are not trying to rush forward, but to slow down the guards."

Guo Baoji listened and explained, and suddenly his face changed: "Not good."

"What's wrong?" Neither the Valley Master nor Feng Qingchen had any martial arts skills. Although their hearing was not bad, it was definitely not as good as Guo Baoji's.

Guo Baoji did not explain, but grabbed Feng Qingchen and the Valley Master and said, "Jump out of the car."

"Okay." Valley Master and Feng Qingchen trusted Guo Baoji unconditionally. Guo Baoji only exerted a little force and pulled the two of them off the carriage.

The three of them stood firm at the same time, and Guo Baoji pulled Feng Qingchen towards the shop on the street. Behind them, a siege crossbow was aimed at the carriage. With a "bang", the crossbow arrows as thick as legs shot towards the carriage...

With a loud bang, the carriage shattered.

The Valley Master and Feng Qingchen heard the sound and turned around to see...

Upon seeing this, both of them turned pale with fright, but at the same time they were extremely grateful that Guo Baoji had pulled them off the carriage in advance, otherwise they would have been shattered into pieces like the carriage.

"Who on earth is this person who even took out the crossbow cart for siege?" Feng Qingchen was extremely shocked. You have to know that this is not a battlefield, but the Dongling Imperial City.

How could a crossbow, a strictly controlled killing weapon only available in the military, appear in the imperial city? This is too unscientific.

The man who was ambushing them saw Feng Qingchen and the other two running away, so he moved the chariot and aimed it at them again. Feng Qingchen could clearly see the cold murderous intent in the other's eyes.

"Run." Feng Qingchen pulled out her hand, stood behind Guo Baoji and the Valley Master, and pointed her gun at the person who was shooting the crossbow, but the range was too far and she did not hit the person.

"Damn it." Feng Qingchen cursed. The power of the bullets was no match for the crossbow arrows. There was nothing they could do now except run.

"Go to the shop." Feng Qingchen rushed forward and used her body to knock open a store. The moment she fell in, she felt so much pain that tears came out of her eyes.

No matter how strong she is, her body is still that of a girl, weak and powerless!

"Quick, quick, close the door." Guo Baoji was injured, so the Valley Master pushed him away and tried to close the door himself, but Guo Baoji pulled him over: "Get out of the way."

Tsk... Another arrow shot towards them, or to be exact, towards Feng Qingchen.

Feng Qingchen was lying on the ground, looking at the oncoming crossbow arrow, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: Kill her?
