1837 Retain, you can be arrogant at this time
Feng Qingchen has no trouble in Xiling?
She was in big trouble. If it weren't for Prince Duan blocking her, and if she didn't have the support of the Ninth Prince behind her, the Xiling State Master would definitely have captured her and used her as a test subject for sliced-up research.
It is impossible for Prince Duan to always help Feng Qingchen. Although little Tuanzi still trusts Feng Qingchen the most, she is not like before and cannot live without Feng Qingchen. In the past few days, Prince Duan has been taking care of little Tuanzi personally, and little Tuanzi and Prince Duan have become much closer. At this pace, Feng Qingchen will be able to move out of Prince Duan's mansion soon.
Without the need for Prince Duan to give any explicit or implicit instructions, Feng Qingchen took the initiative to find Prince Duan. When the person in the Hundred Ghosts Palace can no longer hold on, they will move out of Prince Duan's mansion.
They have no relatives with Prince Duan. Before, Prince Duan had no choice but to do it for the sake of little Tuanzi. Now, of course, he will not bear the pressure from the emperor and the eldest princess alone for them.
There was the incident of Little Tuanzi before. Prince Duan could be said to love his son as much as his life, and he had to provide protection for Feng Qingchen for Little Tuanzi's sake. The Emperor could more or less understand Prince Duan for the sake of Little Tuanzi.
But now, little Tuanzi can live without Feng Qingchen, and Prince Duan can no longer find an excuse, and Feng Qingchen naturally will not make things difficult for Prince Duan.
"Let's find a small courtyard. Once the ghost doctor speaks, we'll move out." Feng Qingchen was originally worried that the eldest princess would forcibly take her back. After receiving the news that the Ninth Prince was coming to Xiling, Feng Qingchen said that she had become bolder.
It's really not good to have someone backing you up. If you're not being arrogant and spoiled at this time, when will you be arrogant and spoiled?
"That man is dying. He has no idea how long he has been locked up. He is very depressed." Zuo An locked the ghost doctor in a wooden barrel. He would not move him or let him see the light. The surroundings were pitch black and silent as death. He ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the barrel.
In order to prevent the Ghost Doctor from knowing the passage of time, Zuo An sometimes fed the Ghost Doctor seven or eight times a day, and sometimes more than ten times a day, making the Ghost Doctor completely unaware of how long he had been imprisoned.
"Take him for two more days and completely eliminate the idea of his resistance." When Feng Qingchen really wants to take ruthless action, it will definitely be a deep impression on people and they will never forget it. They will wish they would never fall into Feng Qingchen's hands.
"Yeah." Zuo An would not be soft-hearted towards the person who harmed his brother: "By the way, there are people from the Hundred Ghosts Palace active in Xiling recently. They seem to be looking for the two people who died before. I secretly observed them for a long time, and the people they contacted seem to be from the Cui family."
"The Cui family?" Feng Qingchen was really frightened this time: "You said the Cui family had contact with people from the Hundred Ghosts Palace?"
Could it be that Cui Haoting has been driven into a fool by those uncles and aunts?
No, the Cui family’s contact with someone from the Hundred Ghosts Palace does not mean that it was Cui Haoting, it could also be someone else.
"Are you sure you are a member of the Cui family?" Feng Qingchen looked solemn and tapped the table meaninglessly with his fingers.
If it really is the Cui family, then... the Ninth Prince came at the perfect time this time. She really doesn't have the ability in Xiling to fight against the eldest princess and the Cui family at the same time.
She could use Prince Duan to deal with the princess, but the Cui family... there was no other family in Xiling that could compete with them. As for the emperor? I'm afraid he would be happy for the Cui family to kill her. When the time comes, the Ninth Prince will be furious and uproot the Cui family, and the Emperor of Xiling will just sit back and reap the benefits.
If he hadn't had any clues, Zuo An would not have told Feng Qingchen. He had been with Feng Qingchen for so long, so he naturally knew about Feng Qingchen's cooperation with Cui Haoting.
"Qingchen...children of aristocratic families always put the interests of their family first. Cui Haoting is not the eldest son. He will cooperate with you before he comes to power, but after he comes to power, he will not hesitate to oppose you for the sake of family interests." Zuo An was persuading Feng Qingchen from a friend's standpoint.
Feng Qingchen smiled bitterly and nodded gently: "I understand."
After Cui Haoting took the position of the head of the Cui family, Wang Jinling reminded her that she must stop as soon as possible and withdraw the manpower and funds used to deal with the Cui family, otherwise the first thing Cui Haoting would do after taking office would be to counterattack her in order to protect the family's interests.
Feng Qingchen was not a child brought up by a family, so she would never understand how much a child of a noble family could sacrifice for the benefit of the family.
"But I don't believe that Cui Haoting will cooperate with the people from the Hundred Ghosts Palace. This is too unbelievable." Although the Cui family is determined to help the Lan family take power, they will never support the one from the Hundred Ghosts Palace.
The Cui family wanted a puppet emperor who could be manipulated by them, not a strong emperor. Although the one in the Hundred Ghosts Palace was also a descendant of the Lan family, he would never allow the Cui family to become too powerful if he were to take the throne.
"I want to meet Cui Haoting." Last time, Feng Qingchen withdrew in time and did not give Cui Haoting a chance to counterattack. The two of them still seemed to be on good terms. Feng Qingchen believed that Cui Haoting was still willing to see her.
"Why?" Feng Qingchen wanted to see Cui Haoting, but she couldn't hide it from Emperor Xiling.
"Damn it." Feng Qingchen cursed softly. It was indeed not his territory, making it inconvenient to do anything.
Feng Qingchen stood up and walked around the room. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Go to the Crown Prince's Mansion and ask Tianyu to arrange for me to meet the Crown Princess."
Cui Haoting's sister is definitely not a stupid person.
Zuo An nodded, turned around and went to do what Feng Qingchen had asked him to do...
After Feng Qingchen came to Xiling, Zuo An had no rest. All external affairs were handled by Zuo An alone. He had rarely been exposed to these before, and had no idea how to do many things. Fortunately, when Feng Qingchen instructed him to do something, he would explain it in great detail, so Zuo An didn't need to guess what Feng Qingchen was thinking.
That afternoon, the Prince's Mansion sent someone to invite Feng Qingchen, saying that the Crown Princess had heard that Feng Qingchen had good medical skills and wanted to meet him.
The visitor was evasive in his words and had an awkward expression, as if he was hiding something that could not be told to outsiders. Smart people immediately thought that the Crown Princess might have some unspeakable illness, and it was inconvenient to summon the imperial physician, so they asked Feng Qingchen, the female doctor, to see her.
"Brother, I understand..." There is no shortage of smart people in this world, nor is there a shortage of people who spread gossip.
Soon, even the Emperor knew that the Crown Princess had contracted an unexplainable female disease and wanted to ask Feng Qingchen, a female doctor, to see her.
As for whether it was true or not, no one dared to ask the Crown Princess for confirmation, and the Crown Princess could not explain it. However, some people heard that the Emperor specifically mentioned it to Crown Prince Tianyu, asking him to pay attention to the Crown Princess's health, and also asked Crown Prince Tianyu to keep a few female doctors in the palace in case of emergency.
Obviously, the Crown Princess was bound to take the blame, and she didn't even have a chance to explain, because no one would bring it up in front of the Crown Princess. If she took the initiative to explain, wouldn't it make her look guilty...
This matter caused... Feng Qingchen admitted that this was her original purpose, but the Crown Princess felt sorry for her.
The Ninth Prince was on his way, using the news about Xiling as a way to pass the time. When he saw Feng Qingchen's move, he couldn't help but laugh...
It turns out that we are in sync!
