1841 Conscience, Pull Feng Qingchen into the water

The scene that had previously taken place in the Princess's Mansion was now being reenacted in the courtyard occupied by Feng Qingchen.

Prince Duan brought his troops and surrounded the courtyard where Feng Qingchen was temporarily staying. Guards stood on both sides. Prince Duan, wearing armor and holding a spear, walked into the courtyard majestically as if he was in an empty place.

Seeing Prince Duan's posture, even the eldest princess would feel a little afraid, let alone ordinary people. However, when Feng Qingchen saw Prince Duan coming in, she treated him as an ordinary friend visiting.

"Your Highness, you've come at the right time. I was just about to go find you." Feng Qingchen stood up with a smile, made a gesture of invitation with his right hand, and stepped aside to make way for Prince Duan.

"Looking for me?" Prince Duan glanced at Feng Qingchen and strode into the courtyard: "What's the matter?"

"I want to ask the prince something." Feng Qingchen said calmly, which surprised Prince Duan. He stopped and asked sideways, "So what happened last night is indeed related to you?"

"What happened last night?" Feng Qingchen looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, I just want to ask if there is a better doctor in Xiling. My brother's old illness has relapsed and he needs a good doctor."

Ugh... Prince Duan almost spat out Feng Qingchen's blood. He said that he was a doctor, yet he asked him about doctors. How fake it was.

Prince Duan sneered: "Feng Qingchen, don't play dumb. Since you saved Rui'er, I won't make things difficult for you. But if you play crazy and dumb, I won't be able to protect you."

"Please explain, Your Highness. Qingchen doesn't understand what Your Highness is talking about." It seems that Zuo An and his master succeeded, but why haven't these two come back for such a long time.

Did something happen? Or is he still making trouble?

"Hmph... you don't understand? Well, I will tell you what happened last night." Prince Duan was so angry that he sat down and told Feng Qingchen everything that happened last night.

Last night, Feng Qingchen escaped from the doctor who was taking her away from Prince Duan's Mansion. The people from the Princess Chang's Mansion discovered her tracks and went to track her, but somehow they bumped into people from the Cui family and a fight broke out.

During the fight, not only did the doctor die, but someone from the Prince's Mansion also accidentally killed the third son of the Cui family, and was caught red-handed by the Cui family. Even if the Princess wanted to deny it, she could not.

Although the Cui family acted cautiously and low-key, they were not to be trifled with. Instead of throwing a tantrum, they went directly to the government to report the case and asked the government to arrest the murderer and the mastermind behind the incident.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went to the palace overnight and brought the head of the Cui family to meet the emperor, asking the emperor to severely punish the mastermind behind the scenes and give justice to the Cui family.

The Cui family is quite powerful, and they just lack an opportunity to infiltrate Xiling. Now they keep calling someone the mastermind behind the scenes, making it clear that the Cui family will not let this matter go unpunished, and they want to use this incident to establish their power in Xiling.

It would be fine if the death was of an ordinary person, but the one who died was the third son of the Cui family, who had considerable power and reputation. The Cui family would never let it go. In order to calm the Cui family's anger, the emperor had to summon the eldest princess to meet him overnight.

The eldest princess was definitely in trouble when disaster struck. She was dug out in the middle of the night to meet the emperor. At the palace gate, in full view of everyone, the bearers of the sedan chair suddenly lost their legs, knelt on the ground, and threw the eldest princess out.

When something happened at the palace gate, the guards shouted to catch the assassin, causing unrest in the palace. However, after struggling for more than half an hour, they didn't even find a fly.

The princess rolled out of the sedan chair, her nose and eyes swollen, and the bearers of the sedan chair had bruises on their calves, which showed that all this was man-made. The princess was not happy about it, and cried and shouted that this was revenge from the Cui family, and that they would hold the Cui family accountable for the crime of assassinating the princess.

The head of the Cui family was so angry that his face changed on the spot, saying that the eldest princess was going too far and staged a farce in front of the palace gate to frame the Cui family.

One is the Crown Princess's family, and the other is her younger sister... Although the Crown Princess's family kept a low profile, the Emperor knew that the Cui family was quite powerful, and the evidence was irrefutable that the eldest princess was at fault. Therefore, even if the Emperor was biased, he would not dare to show it too obviously.

"What does this have to do with me?" After hearing Prince Duan's explanation, Feng Qingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It turned out to be successful, but it was a bit of a big deal.

"That doctor escaped from your hands." This is why the eldest princess grabbed Feng Qingchen and wouldn't let go.

"Where is the evidence?" Feng Qingchen was acting like a rogue. If the princess had evidence, she would have asked the Imperial Guards to arrest the man long ago.

"As long as the emperor believes it, the evidence is useless in the palace." Prince Duan said.

"That's true, but don't forget, I'm from Dongling." So, don't impose Xiling's ways on her.

"If you were not from Dongling and did not have the support of the Ninth Prince of Dongling, you would think the princess would let you go." Prince Duan raised his eyebrows, making it clear that he did not believe that this matter had nothing to do with Feng Qingchen.

Feng Qingchen did not explain, but spread his hands: "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Not to mention that the person did not escape from me, even if he did, the princess cannot punish me for this. It was the princess who sent the thugs to rob people, and it was the princess's subordinates who used the knife to kill people. What does it have to do with me?"

"If I am guilty, then is the master who made the weapon also guilty? You know, he made the weapon that killed people? In addition... are the parents who gave birth to those thugs also guilty? You know, they gave birth to the murderer. And... is the third son of the Cui family also guilty? Why did he go out when the eldest princess wanted to arrest someone? How can you blame the eldest princess for seeking death, right?"

If this mocking remark was said in front of the emperor and the eldest princess, their expressions would definitely be very interesting. As for Prince Duan?

He doesn't care whether the eldest princess is ridiculed or not.

"You are very eloquent. I finally understand why you are favored by the Ninth Uncle."

"Your Highness actually understood? I don't understand why myself." Feng Qingchen followed the words of Prince Duan and asked, and at the same time changed the subject. Prince Duan opened his mouth to answer, only to find that he was fooled. He quickly closed his mouth and changed the subject. Just as he was about to question Feng Qingchen again, Xia Wan came out with an anxious look on his face: "Miss, the young master vomited again."

Feng Qingchen's face changed, and he hurriedly apologized to Prince Duan: "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. My brother is not feeling well. We can talk about it later." After that, regardless of how embarrassed Prince Duan's face was, he left Prince Duan and his men and turned around and walked into the room.

Prince Duan stood outside the courtyard, neither going in nor going back. From inside the house, from time to time, there were the sounds of Feng Jin vomiting and crying, as well as the sound of Feng Qingchen coaxing Feng Jin.

All these were enough to prove that Xia Wan was not lying. Thinking of Feng Qingchen's pale and tired face just now, Prince Duan knew without asking that Feng Jin was not feeling well. Feng Qingchen must have stayed up all night last night to take care of Feng Jin.

After all, Feng Qingchen was also Xiaotuanzi's benefactor. Prince Duan had to come because he was ordered by the emperor, but he would not make things too difficult for Feng Qingchen. He summoned his subordinates and asked him to go to the palace first to report, so that those people who were quarreling in the palace would know that Feng Qingchen had been taking care of the eldest princess's son all night yesterday and had no time to frame the eldest princess.

When the princess wants to attack Feng Qingchen, she should check her conscience first. If she has any conscience, she will not drag Feng Qingchen into the water at this time!
