A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1662 I took action, so what if I bully others by taking advantage of my power
If even his subordinates don’t believe that Cui Haoting can get promoted, who would still have confidence in him?
Feng Qingchen's words were sharp and cruel, but Cui Haoting was speechless. The joy he had felt for Yuhua and Lanzhi was gone at this moment. He looked at Feng Qingchen, then at Wang Jinling, with a trace of pain and struggle in his eyes...
Do you really want to point the knife at your loved ones?
This time, neither Feng Qingchen nor Wang Jinling allowed Cui Haoting to escape. Wang Jinling directly revealed what he had encountered and done in the past: "Haoting, I understand how you feel right now. Back then, I was soft-hearted because they were my relatives, but they did not repay me with the same kindness. What they rewarded me was to destroy my own brother and incite my own father to deal with me. Haoting, don't let yourself regret like me. The person I, Wang Jinling, feel most sorry for in this life is my own brother. No matter how high I stand in the future, I will not be able to give Jinhan a healthy body."
When talking about this past event, even a rational person like Wang Jinling couldn't help but feel sad. If he had been a little more ruthless at that time, Jinhan wouldn't have become what he is now. The good seventh son of the Wang family has become a cripple.
Even though Wang Jinling is in a high position and has great power, he cannot restore Jinhan to her original state, nor can he give Jinhan a healthy body.
Wang Jinling took a deep breath, unwilling to show his vulnerability in front of Qingchen, but in an instant, he restrained his good mood and continued to persuade Cui Haoting: "Haoting, being soft-hearted at this time will only harm the people around you. If you can't do it, just spare their lives and let them enjoy their wealth and prosperity."
"Jinling, thank you." He saw the regret that flashed across Wang Jinling's eyes. It was because he saw it that he realized that Wang Jinling was doing it for his own good.
Cui Haoting agreed to take the initiative to attack, and Feng Qingchen naturally would not let him fight alone. This matter not only concerns Cui Haoting's promotion to power, but also the cooperation between the Fengli clan and the Cui family. If Cui Haoting is not in power, the cooperation will be just empty talk.
"Haoting, Jinling can't interfere in Cui's affairs, but I can. The three of us are friends and allies. Although we won't suffer together, we will definitely prosper together. I won't stay out of this matter." Feng Qingchen stated his position. Seeing Cui Haoting's face of disagreement, he said, "Haoting, I have grievances with your Cui family. That year, that sword slashed across my neck and I almost died. I have always remembered this account in my heart."
The reason why she framed the Nanling Su family was because the situation at the time required it. In addition, she was powerless to compete with the Cui family at that time, so she could only swallow her anger and pretend not to know who the real murderer was.
"This matter..." Cui Haoting laughed at himself: It turned out that it had never been over. Both his third brother and Feng Qingchen kept it in their hearts, and he was the only one who thought that the matter had been covered.
But then Cui Haoting understood. No one can forget the person who wanted to take his life. If the knife had been half an inch deeper, Feng Qingchen would have died.
Cui Haoting sighed for a moment, then stopped thinking about it and regained his original calmness and composure: "Are you going to use this as an excuse?" Since he had made up his mind, Cui Haoting would not hesitate or be soft-hearted anymore.
It is destined that your hands will be stained with the blood of your loved ones, and it makes no difference whether it happens earlier or later.
Feng Qingchen nodded: "At the beginning, I pinned this matter on the Nanling Su family, but there was no evidence after all. Everything was just some speculative speculation. Now I just need to produce evidence to prove that my speculation was wrong. Anyway, there is no Nanling Su family in the world now, and I don't have to worry about anyone taking revenge on me."
"This reason is acceptable. The third son of the Cui family did assassinate you at that time, but... if you face the Cui family head-on, you will be in danger." Wang Jinling always cares about Qingchen's safety: "Qingchen, it's better for you not to interfere in the affairs of the Cui family."
Some people in the Cui family are very ambitious. The Cui family is so powerful that the Wang family cannot even match one-fifth of them.
"If I don't intervene, Cui Haoting will have no chance of winning if he faces those people head-on." Cui Haoting himself said that the power in the hands of his several competitors is not much different.
After all, people without strength don’t dare to fight at all. Even if they do, they will be cannon fodder long ago, so how can they get to this point?
Those who can get to this point are among the best in the Cui family, both in terms of power and scheming. With Cui Haoting's ability and means, he can deal with one or two of them, but the other parties are united. How can Cui Haoting fight against them all alone?
Wang Jinling didn't say anything. He knew that Feng Qingchen had made up her mind and would not change it. Cui Haoting thought about it and didn't insist anymore. He tacitly agreed to Feng Qingchen's help.
With Feng Qingchen outside to attract other people's attention, it would be more convenient for him to do anything.
The three of them reached an agreement. Feng Qingchen was just about to order the meal to be served when the Wang family's servant hurried in: "Sir, there is an emergency. The emperor has summoned you to the palace."
How could a child under one year old give an order? The three people present knew that this was the order from the Ninth Prince.
"Qingchen, the Ninth Prince is becoming more and more stingy. You have to talk to him." Wang Jinling stood up, brushed his slightly creased robe, and smiled helplessly and tiredly.
As a subject, even if he was the emperor's teacher, he could not ignore the emperor's summons. Even though he was reluctant, Wang Jinling still went to the palace, because he knew that the Ninth Prince summoned him at this time, there must be something real.
Feng Qingchen smiled silently, said nothing, and directly invited Cui Haoting to have a meal. After the meal, Feng Qingchen asked in detail about the situation of Mr. Cui San, making sure to know both oneself and the enemy.
The two chatted until the evening, until Qiu Hui and Dong Qing came to report that Feng Jin had woken up and was crying and looking for Qingchen.
Cui Haoting asked to leave at the right time, and Feng Qingchen did not try to keep him. He just said apologetically: "My brother has been feeling unwell recently and has been a bit clingy."
Cui Haoting said he didn't care. Seeing that Feng Qingchen attached great importance to Feng Jin, Cui Haoting even went to see Feng Jin in person. Unfortunately, Feng Jin didn't give him any face at all. He was too lazy to even raise his eyelids to glance at Cui Haoting, then shrank back into Feng Qingchen's arms. His little head nudged in Feng Qingchen's arms, looking so cute indescribably cute.
"Your brother is very cute." Cui Haoting couldn't help but praise: "You take good care of him."
"This child is so lovable." Feng Qingchen kissed little Feng Jin with a loving face. Cui Haoting was dazed for a moment: he seemed to see the scene of his mother hugging him. His mother should have kissed him when he was little, right?
Cui Haoting found himself bored, shook his head and sighed, and did not stay any longer.
The Cui family still has a lot of things to deal with, and he doesn't have the time to think about unrealistic things.
Feng Qingchen coaxed Feng Jin for most of the day before he finally got Feng Jin to sleep. Then he went to see Ling Mo again. After making sure that Ling Mo's condition had not worsened, he dragged his tired body back to the room to eat.
After bathing, Feng Qingchen untied her long hair and leaned on the bench, holding a cup of tea in her hand, but she did not drink it. She just closed her eyes and thought deeply.
As soon as the Ninth Prince came in, he saw a picture of a peaceful and tranquil beauty. He immediately slowed down his pace, not wanting to disturb her. However, Feng Qingchen became alert and noticed the Ninth Prince as soon as he came in.
Feng Qingchen slowly opened her eyes and was not surprised to see the Ninth Prince standing beside her. She just gave him a sweet smile and said, "You're back."
These three short words instantly wiped out the Ninth Prince's bad mood...
