The Emperor Phoenix's Divine Doctor and Abandoned Concubines gathered together and set their sights on Feng Qing

dust

Road construction is a long and complicated task. Not only does it take a long time and cost a lot of money, it also requires a large number of workers. Both execution and supervision are not trivial matters.

Let's not talk about the issue of money for now. If the large-scale conscription is not done well, it will inevitably cause public resentment. It's okay in winter, but if it's during the spring planting and autumn harvest, and forced conscription is still required, the people will definitely be dissatisfied. If there is no good regulation for this matter, a good thing will turn into a bad thing.

In order to get the road built, the Ninth Prince, Wang Jinling, Fu Lin and others have been staying in the palace for the past few days to work out a good plan.

Ever since Feng Qingchen provided the rules and regulations, the Ninth Prince felt that regulations were a great thing. When encountering such a major event, it was necessary for the officials in charge to come up with a set of regulations. Even if they could not completely prevent the occurrence of illegal incidents, they could still play a certain role in restraint.

Last time, when the pensions were paid out to the soldiers who died at sea, the Ninth Prince asked the officials of the Ministry of War to come up with detailed rules and regulations, according to which the children of wealthy families and the students from poor families had to supervise each other. Although the problem was not completely eliminated, it was much better than before. At least the families of the dead soldiers actually received the money.

The war was imminent and roads needed to be built. The Ninth Prince was so busy that he even forgot to send someone to tell Feng Qingchen. Fortunately, Feng Qingchen was not blind. She had connections in the palace, so she could not find out confidential matters, but she could hear some rumors about this kind of thing.

Feng Qingchen is not the kind of woman who revolves around men. Knowing that the Ninth Prince was busy, Feng Qingchen did not disturb him and just focused on her own things.

After Feng Jin's relapse that day, he had a fever for several days. Feng Jin became particularly clingy when he was uncomfortable, and only clingy to Feng Qingchen. When Feng Qingchen was around him, he would hum and groan. If he opened his eyes and didn't see Feng Qingchen, he would cry loudly, and no matter how he was coaxed, it was useless.

Every time Feng Qingchen saw Feng Jin's little face turn red from crying, he felt so distressed that he had been taking care of little Feng Jin personally these past few days. Only when Feng Jin fell asleep would he take time to wash and dress and apply medicine to Ling Mo.

Ling Mo was still the same. No matter how hard he tried, Feng Qingchen couldn't give him acupuncture. Feng Qingchen could only use the most primitive method to support him. Feng Qingchen didn't ask Ling Mo to recover immediately. As long as his condition didn't worsen, Feng Qingchen would be grateful.

Ling Mo felt very guilty. Seeing Feng Qingchen's thin face these days, the self-blame and anxiety in his eyes became even heavier. But with Doudou staring at him, he couldn't leave. He could only keep his eyes open and look at the roof all day long. Those eyes... were filled with deathly despair.

Alas... Feng Qingchen shook his head and sighed. After several attempts of persuasion failed, he had to give up. He could only secretly hope that Si Xing would come soon and let Ling Mo receive treatment, otherwise this man would die sooner or later.

Jiangnan is far away from the imperial city, and Sixing could not come here even if he had wings. However, the eighteen riders returned after five days.

The appearance of the eighteen riders in the imperial city caused quite a stir. Considering the identities of these eighteen people, everyone had some ideas in their minds.

"The Eighteen Riders disappeared for several months. What were they doing?" Ling Tian was sitting in the teahouse, looking at the heroic Eighteen Riders. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his fingers involuntarily wrote the word "Dong" on the table.

This "East" is not the East in Dongling, but the East in Shandong.

Behind him were two figures, one in red and one in green. Under normal circumstances, Youyou would definitely speak up, but because of what happened last time, Youyou was severely punished by Ling Tian and now she didn't dare to speak at all. Luqing has always been smart and cautious with her words, so she would never speak at this time.

The master and his two servants sat in the teahouse, watching the eighteen riders enter the city, and then watching them walk towards the Feng Mansion.

"The Si family's eighteen riders are indeed extraordinary. Si Cheng is willing to give away such guards, and Feng Qingchen dares to use them?" Ling Tian asked himself again, and then fell into deep thought...

"The young master of Lingjiabao is really good." Cui Haoting was sitting in the elegant room opposite Ling Tian. Because of the angle, he could see Ling Tian, ​​but Ling Tian could not see him.

"He has some ability, but he's overreaching. The Ninth Prince is investigating him." Sitting opposite Cui Haoting was Wang Jinling.

Although Wang Jinling is extremely busy, Cui Haoting is his brother-in-law and has just returned from Xiling. For both official and private reasons, whenever Cui Haoting wants to see him, he will make time to come.

Cui Haoting raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What did Ling Tian do to make the Ninth Emperor Uncle notice him?"

In his opinion, Ling Tian was indeed good, but he was just a martial arts figure, a small martial arts master, not worthy of the Ninth Uncle's attention.

"He has set his sights on Qingchen." Wang Jinling knew that Ling Tian was smart and capable, but he did not expect Ling Tian to be so smart that he could find out the situation in Shandong based on some clues.

It's a pity for such a person.

He is too bold and lacks the corresponding means, so it is hard to say what will happen to him.

"What's the grudge between him and Qingchen?" Cui Haoting didn't think that these two unrelated people would target each other over a trivial matter.

What happened in Shandong cannot be mentioned. Wang Jinling recounted the incident in which Ling Tian and Feng Qingchen collided on the road, and how Ling Tian allowed the maid to insult Feng Qingchen.

Although Wang Jinling spoke objectively and fairly, he couldn't help but side with Feng Qingchen, and blamed all the faults on Ling Tian. Cui Haoting didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "Ling Tian really thinks he's a big shot." Even if it's a test, there has to be a limit.

"Maybe, he thinks Qingchen doesn't care about what others say, and given his status, Qingchen won't bother with him. After all, when Qingchen encountered such things before, he just let it go and rarely bothered with others." Wang Jinling knew that his guess was right. Ling Tian was not a fool, and he would not do stupid things.

Cui Haoting felt quite regretful, shook his head and chuckled: "Ling Tian takes it for granted, thinks too highly of himself and underestimates Qing Chen. What was Qing Chen like back then, and what is he like now? If Ling Tian still thinks Qing Chen is the same as he was back then, he will be miserable."

"Qingchen is a sentimental person. He has a relationship with Xuan Shaoqi. For Xuan Shaoqi's sake, Qingchen will not do anything to him." Ling Tian must understand Qingchen and knows that even if he does something out of line, Feng Qingchen will not really care about it and will at most push the servant out.

Cui Haoting could not refute this point: "Qingchen is indeed too sentimental. Even an outsider knows it. No wonder Ling Tian is so unscrupulous."

"It's good that Xuan Shaoqi is not sentimental." Wang Jinling had a smile in his eyes, but Cui Haoting felt his whole body go cold and silently mourned for Ling Tian in his heart.

Jin Ling has been with the Ninth Prince for a long time. Not only has his mind become as narrow as the Ninth Prince's, but his ability to emit cold air has also become stronger. If this continues, the others will really have no chance of survival.

Given that this topic was not safe, Cui Haoting decisively turned the topic to Xiling.

Xiling Tianyu has been named the crown prince, and his sister has become the crown princess. The Cui family and Xiling are already tied together. The Cui family's next focus will be on developing in Xiling. Even if they will retain some power in Dongling, it will not affect the Wang family.

Both Wang Jinling and Cui Haoting were very satisfied with this. After all, neither of them wanted to confront the other and end up hurting both sides and giving the other party an advantage.

"If nothing unexpected happens, after I get married, my whole family will move to Xiling." There is no need to hide this kind of thing, and Cui Haoting doesn't think he can hide it from Wang Jinling.

Accident?

Wang Jinling raised his eyes slightly, looked at Cui Haoting and asked, "Where is the position of the head of the family?"

This is the focus of their conversation today. Cui Haoting smiled bitterly: "There is a problem, maybe something unexpected will happen."

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have met Wang Jinling in private as soon as he arrived in Dongling...
