1813 The sky fell, and the Ninth Emperor held it up

No matter how worried Feng Qingchen was about Feng Jin, she couldn't just pick up her bag and leave immediately. She was now responsible for the future of an entire family, and she couldn't just sit back and do nothing like before.

The old steward can handle all the official affairs of the Feng Mansion. Feng Qingchen can ignore them and just need to give instructions. However, Feng Qingchen has to explain all the private matters one by one.

Chun Hui and Xia Wan accompanied Feng Jin to Xiling. Only Qiu Hua and Dong Qing were left in Feng Mansion. There were fewer people but more things to do. Feng Qingchen had to make arrangements to avoid any accidents and not being able to find anyone to make decisions.

For safety reasons, Feng Qingchen left half of the Eighteen Riders behind. If there were any emergencies, they could go to Xiling to find her, or go to Shandong to find Feng Liyou.

After explaining the things that needed attention, Feng Qingchen only had one sentence: "For things that cannot be delayed or solved, go find the Ninth Uncle."

The Ninth Prince would definitely be guarding the imperial city at this time. With the Ninth Prince in Dongling, Feng Qingchen didn't have to worry about too much chaos in the Feng Mansion. After all, even if the sky fell, the Ninth Prince would hold it up.

Feng Qingchen didn't know how long he would stay in Xiling, so to be on the safe side, Feng Qingchen sent a secret letter to Feng Liyou.

It is no longer feasible to ask for permission to pass through Nanling. Even if Jinxing still has power in Nanling, its people are not in Nanling. So asking for permission to pass through Nanling is an extremely dangerous thing. If things go wrong, Nanling will swallow them up.

Feng Qingchen wrote a letter to Feng Liyou, asking him to take full charge of Taicheng's affairs. Of course, the letter also revealed Beiling and Chucheng's plans. She estimated that Taicheng would attack Shandong only after Beiling and Chucheng took action.

At that time, Dongling was busy dealing with the armies of Beiling and Chucheng, so naturally it was impossible to dispatch troops to Shandong. If Taicheng would let go of such a good opportunity, it would be a fool.

"Send out troops from Taicheng and fight back with all your might. It would be best if you can occupy the city. You don't have to worry about your identity. If the sky falls, there will be someone to support it." Feng Qingchen not only gave Feng Liyou the greatest power, but also made sure that Feng Liyou had no worries.

If Feng Liyou could occupy Taicheng, it would not matter even if everyone in the world knew that the descendants of the Fengli clan had appeared. The Fengli clan had soldiers and food, and Dongling was clearly on their side. If the other three countries wanted to confront them, they had to consider whether they had the ability.

Everyone in this world, even the emperor, is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. If there were only one or two people in the Fengli clan, they would definitely raise the banner and shout for war and killing. But when all of their clan members showed up at the same time, along with countless elite soldiers, these people would at most make verbal threats, and few would actually send out troops.

After the letter was written, it was sealed in a wooden box and sent over as quickly as possible.

In order to get to Xiling as soon as possible, Feng Qingchen was busy like a top. After she had dealt with all the matters, big and small, Feng Qingchen had time to say goodbye to Wang Jinling and Yuwen Yuanhua. At the same time, she told them to look after the Feng Mansion so that she would not be bullied.

"With the Ninth Prince being here, who would dare to touch your people?" Yuwen Yuanhua had only been an official for a short time when he entered the court, but he was severely exploited by the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling. The resentment he felt towards these two people in his heart could not be described in words.

"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. The Ninth Prince occupies a high position, it's impossible for him to take care of everything." Although no one in Dongling dared to provoke the Ninth Prince, it's hard to say who would do that in secret.

These days, there are a lot of people seeking death.

Yuwen Yuanhua opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the eldest son: "I will have someone keep an eye on you, and you should be careful too. Xiling is the Cui family's territory."

Although the Cui family has just moved to Xiling, their influence has already been expanded. When Feng Qingchen arrives in Xiling, he will inevitably come into conflict with the Cui family.

"Haoting hasn't taken control of the Cui family yet?" Feng Qingchen frowned. Everyone around her was decisive in killing. Even the eldest son looked gentle, but he was ruthless when he took action. Feng Qingchen really disdained Cui Haoting's lukewarm approach.

"The old lady of the Cui family is gone." Wang Jinling pointed out the crux of the problem in one sentence.

The people who supported Cui Haoting were gone, and the power of each branch of the Cui family was deeply rooted. Those who supported Cui San before were all the elders of the Cui family. Cui Haoting couldn't move these people for a while.

In other words, with the pressure of filial piety on him, Cui Haoting couldn't make any big moves.

"..." Feng Qingchen remained silent. It was obvious that he couldn't say anything to Cui Haoting at this time. After all, his most respected grandmother had passed away, and his mind was inevitably distracted. The other people in the Cui family must have put a lot of obstacles in Cui Haoting's way.

"What about your sister and Hao Ting's marriage?" When parents die, children observe a three-year mourning period. According to the grandmother, it only takes one year, but it is not ruled out that Cui Hao Ting will observe a heavy mourning period.

"Wait until Haoting's mourning period is over." Cui Haoting has already taken the position of the head of the Cui family. It is also a good thing for the Wang family. There are many benefits to the marriage between the two families.

The death of Cui Haoting's grandmother was not good news for Feng Qingchen. This meant that after she went to Xiling, she could ask Cui Haoting for help in very few areas. During the period of mourning, Cui Haoting had difficulty in doing many things.

"I can only find Prince Yu." Unfortunately, her relationship with Xiling Tianyu was not good enough to help each other.

After Feng Qingchen said goodbye to the eldest son and Yuwen Yuanhua, she went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to wait for her Ninth Uncle.

It was impossible for the Ninth Prince to not know about Xiling. He did not hide it from Feng Qingchen. When he saw Feng Qingchen, he asked her directly: "Have you decided to go to Xiling?"

"I'm very worried about Feng Jin's illness." In the past two days, there has been news coming in one after another, and none of them is good news.

Feng Qingchen guessed that Feng Jin's condition was not simply a matter of acclimatization.

At this moment, Feng Qingchen really hated that the two places were too far apart and the message was so slow to transmit. If it were in modern times, even if there was a Pacific Ocean between them, it would only take a phone call or a few days to fly over.

But what about now?

The news came five or six days ago. It would take Feng Qingchen more than half a month, or more than twenty days, to rush over. By the time Feng Qingchen arrived, Feng Jin's illness might have already healed, or maybe...

Before Feng Qingchen could treat him, he died.

"Now that you're here, Feng Jin's illness may have been cured." Even if the Ninth Prince wanted to get Feng Qingchen away, he wouldn't show it too obviously.

He set up the trap, and it was up to Feng Qingchen whether to take action or not.

"I feel uneasy. I always feel that Feng Jin's illness is unusual. I won't be able to feel at ease unless I see with my own eyes that Feng Jin is fine." Feng Qingchen's intuition is sometimes effective and sometimes not, but it has come true the last few times.

Every time she had a bad feeling, something would happen.

"The two places are far apart, and I cannot accompany you." The Ninth Prince did not dissuade him any further, but revealed a hint of reluctance and worry.

"Master Zuo'an is here, so you don't have to worry about me." Feng Qingchen's voice became softer. Looking at the Ninth Emperor's uncle who had lost a lot of weight, Feng Qingchen felt a little apologetic: "I will take good care of myself, and you too... Don't work too hard."

As the Ninth Prince's woman, she was undoubtedly negligent. She put most of her energy and thoughts on her own affairs, and spent very little time and thought on the Ninth Prince...
