A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1814 Farewell, how can the Ninth Emperor not be angry
The situation in Xiling was not stable. The emperor was getting old, the crown prince was powerful, and the eldest princess was jumping up and down. Officials were divided into factions. Today you were involved in me, and tomorrow I was involved in you. Every now and then, officials got into trouble. At the entrance of the vegetable market, offenders were often beheaded.
Not to mention the officials were uneasy, even the people living in the capital were terrified. In addition, due to the war and reparations in the past two years, Xiling had imposed heavy taxes, and the people were almost selling their children.
There are many radical elements in Xiling who believe that Xiling’s current poverty is caused by Dongling and are extremely prejudiced against Dongling people. Although Feng Qingchen will not have a hard time going to Xiling, he will definitely not be very welcome.
"The old lady of the Cui family passed away. Cui Haoting has to observe mourning for a year, and his uncles have to observe heavy mourning for three years. This is a trouble but also an opportunity for Cui Haoting. While you are in Xiling, Cui Haoting will probably have no time to take care of you, so you have to be careful about everything. If there is anything you can't solve, go to Tianyu. I will write to him and he will help you with anything. You don't need to worry about anything, just do whatever you want." The Ninth Prince deliberately emphasized the three words "anything" because he didn't want Feng Qingchen to suffer any grievances in Xiling.
After thinking for a moment, the Ninth Prince added, "If Tianyu can't come forward to deal with something, you can go find the commander-in-chief of the Xiling Jinyiwei. He is my man."
This is the Ninth Prince's most powerful chess piece in Xiling, except for Mr. Yinli.
"The commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard? The intelligence chief of Xiling?" It was no wonder Feng Qingchen was surprised. The news was simply too shocking.
Feng Qingchen knew very well how important intelligence was to a battle, or even to a country. The Ninth Prince had the entire Xiling intelligence network in his hands. What else could Xiling hide from the Ninth Prince?
"Yes." The Ninth Prince saw Feng Qingchen's surprise and added calmly, "It's not as exaggerated as you think. I never use him to get information about Xiling. Good steel should be used on the blade. His role is not to collect intelligence."
Being able to gain the trust of Emperor Xiling means that up to now, nothing has been done that is detrimental to Xiling.
"It's a pity to use such a person to collect intelligence." Sometimes, a wrong piece of intelligence is enough to destroy a country. The Ninth Prince planted this chess piece, and if he did, he would either not betray or he would definitely strike Xiling Thunder.
All loyalty is for betrayal at the last moment. This is not only a warning, but also a means. Feng Qingchen said that he has learned a lesson.
"When the time comes, I will go find him." Feng Qingchen understood that the Ninth Prince told her about this person so that she could use him when she was in a life-and-death situation.
"Um."
Next, the Ninth Prince told Feng Qingchen about several strongholds he had in Xiling, and told Feng Qingchen to go to these strongholds when needed. Whether it was collecting intelligence or assassination, these people could help Feng Qingchen.
Of course, Feng Qingchen might not be able to use it, and the Ninth Prince's move was just a precaution. After all, he was not with Feng Qingchen, and he would not even know if something happened to Feng Qingchen in Xiling.
The Ninth Prince has been operating in Xiling for many years, and his influence in Xiling is far beyond the reach of a new force like Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen listened very carefully, not missing any details.
There are quite a few strongholds. Feng Qingchen had been there when she went to Xiling with the Ninth Prince last time. Feng Qingchen was not unfamiliar with them, so it was much easier for him to remember them.
With these connections in hand, Feng Qingchen will be able to escape unscathed when he goes to Xiling as long as he does not intend to rebel.
In order to leave a way out, the Ninth Prince did not reveal his relationship with Mr. Yinli. Mr. Yinli was the Ninth Prince's trump card in Xiling.
When even the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was unable to handle the situation, the importance of Mr. Yinli was revealed.
With enough help from the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen was not afraid of Xiling's group at all. After bidding farewell to the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen set out with the eighteen riders early the next morning.
"I really don't like farewells."
On the city wall, Wang Jinling, dressed in a smoky blue robe, stood facing the wind, looking ahead quietly, his eyes moving with the movement of the black figure...
The shadow gradually moved further away until it became a tiny dot and nothing could be seen. Wang Jinling then withdrew his gaze and said, "Go early and come back early."
Turning gracefully, the robe formed a gorgeous arc at the feet, rising and falling with Wang Jinling's steps...
"The eldest young master is indeed thoughtful." Bu Jingyun was sent out on an errand by the Ninth Prince last night and only came back this morning. He saw this scene before entering the city and a sympathetic smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
He and Wang Jinling are so similar.
They all fell into the hands of the Ninth Prince's woman.
"Young Master, someone is targeting us." Wang Jinling's guard stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
Wang Jinling raised his eyes and the guard immediately pointed in a direction. Wang Jinling looked in the direction his guard pointed and saw Bu Jingyun standing against the wall.
"Don't worry about it." Because they were quite far away, Wang Jinling couldn't see Bu Jingyun's face clearly, but he was sure that he had no ill intentions.
Wang Jinling nodded at Bu Jingyun and left straight away, not taking Bu Jingyun seriously at all.
Being ignored so naturally, Bu Jingyun couldn't even get angry. He just stared at Wang Jinling's carriage in a daze.
"I thought that the Ninth Prince was the only one in the world whose arrogance and arrogance would be taken for granted. It turns out that the eldest son of the Wang family also has such ability." Bu Jingyun leaned against the wall without moving. After a quarter of an hour, he looked sideways and made sure that the wound on his abdomen had stopped bleeding. Then he stood up and walked towards the Su Mansion.
He just wanted to hitchhike...
After Bu Jingyun reported to the Ninth Uncle what happened last night, he added in a mean way: "When I entered the city, I ran into the eldest son of the Wang family. He was going to see Qingchen off."
The Ninth Prince ignored it...
"Before Qingchen left, he went up and hugged the eldest son of the Wang family. I saw it with my own eyes." Bu Jingyun added fuel to the fire, intending to make the Ninth Uncle change his attitude.
The Ninth Prince remained unmoved.
"Qingchen also made an agreement with the eldest master that she would go out with him after returning." In order to show that everything was true, Bu Jingyun gestured and recreated the scene. The vivid picture made even Su Wenqing a little unhappy.
Qingchen was being intimate with the eldest son at the city gate. How could this put the Ninth Prince in such a position?
"You didn't see the situation at that time. The eldest young master and Qingchen stood together, and they were really a perfect match. If the eldest young master had been unable to spare the time, he would have accompanied Feng Qingchen to Xiling. Feng Qingchen was all in the eldest young master's eyes and heart." After Bu Jingyun "described" the reluctant farewell scene at the city gate, he did not forget to summarize it. While speaking, he glanced at the Ninth Uncle from time to time. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
Even Su Wenqing was unhappy, so why didn't the Ninth Prince react at all?
"Jiuqing, are you listening?" Bu Jingyun looked suspicious.
Is it that his voice is too soft, or is it that his way of narration is wrong?
Otherwise, how could the Ninth Uncle not be angry?
