The Emperor's Phoenix: The Abandoned Concubine
The Ninth Prince underestimated Feng Jin's fighting ability. As a "toothless" child, Feng Jin did not need to talk about face, reason, or rules with the Ninth Prince. It was enough for him to attract Feng Qingchen's attention and win Feng Qingchen's attention under the Ninth Prince's nose.
As an adult, the Ninth Prince could not lose face and compete for favor with Feng Jin. The end result was that before Xiling Tianyu came, there were two big obstacles, a man and a wolf, between the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen. The Ninth Prince could not even say a few kind words to Feng Qingchen.
Depressed!
The depression in the Ninth Prince's heart could not be expressed in words. As soon as Xiling Tianyu came in, he saw someone with an unsatisfied look.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time." Xiling Tianyu looked mean. It was worth his long journey to deliver a letter to the Ninth Emperor Uncle to see him suffer.
"Hmph..." The Ninth Prince gave Xiling Tianyu a cold dagger. Xiling Tianyu quickly stood up straight and raised his voice, "Ahem... Qingchen, my legs are a little uncomfortable. Please prescribe some medicine for me."
"Okay." Feng Qingchen responded with a half-smile, picked up Feng Jin, called Xuelang and walked out, leaving the space for the Ninth Prince and Xiling Tianyu.
"Okay, stop looking, everyone has gone far away." Xiling Tianyu sat down and muttered in a very unpresentable manner: "When did you come? Are you alone?"
"Last night." The Ninth Prince put down his teacup and looked at Xiling Tianyu. Xiling Tianyu felt uncomfortable under the Ninth Prince's gaze and sat up straight unconsciously: "Are we going to talk about business now? This is not the right place, right?"
It would be bad if someone heard it...
"Suitable." All the people outside were the confidants of Prince Duan. The Ninth Prince had checked Prince Duan's character and had a high opinion of him. In addition, Master Zuo'an was guarding them, so if anyone approached, Master Zuo'an would be the first to notice.
The Ninth Prince said this, naturally he was not worried about being eavesdropped. Xiling Tianyu nodded and asked, "Why are you entering the city at this time? You didn't receive my letter and rush here?"
"yes."
"Uh..." Xiling Tianyu's face twisted slightly. He looked at the Ninth Uncle in disbelief and counted on his fingers: "You sent me a message saying that you were still in Xiang'an. When you received my message, you should be in Luoshui. From Luoshui to the Imperial City, if you calculate the distance, it will take you six or seven days to get there, no matter how fast you go, right?"
It's a journey that takes six or seven days, but you finished it in three days. How anxious are you, Uncle Ninth Prince?
The Ninth Prince glanced at Xiling Tianyu and said nothing...
"You, you are so impatient. Can't you wait for two or three days? Do you know that it is very dangerous for you to enter the city at this time?" Xiling Tianyu stopped playing and looked serious.
Taking such a risk for a woman is not what the Ninth Prince should do. A man who is so sentimental will make his subordinates feel cold.
"Let's talk business." The Ninth Prince ignored Xiling Tianyu's muttering and changed the subject directly.
"Business? What business?" Xiling Tianyu's thoughts jumped too fast, and he couldn't catch up for a while. The Ninth Prince kindly reminded him: "State Master."
"National Master? Are you here for the National Master's matter?" Xiling Tianyu was very suspicious. There was nothing he could do, it was just too coincidental.
The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else?"
Xiling Tianyu thought about it and nodded: "Yes, how could you act impulsively for a woman." If Feng Qingchen's life was in danger, it would be easy to say. It was just an excuse. No matter how urgent it was, these two days would not be a big deal.
To sum up, even if the Ninth Prince was so angry that he risked his life for his beloved, no one would believe it. They would even find all kinds of excuses for him, and then say that being so angry that he risked his life for his beloved was just an excuse to cover up the truth of the matter.
"The Imperial Master hasn't made any other moves recently. Is there anything worthy of your personal visit?" When it came to business, Xiling Tianyu looked serious and didn't dare to tease the Ninth Uncle anymore.
"When Qingchen entered the palace, he saw Feng Jin in the dark."
"How do you know?" Xiling Tianyu was dumbfounded. Even he didn't know this news.
"Your father secretly met with Mr. Yinli." The source of the Ninth Prince's information was Mr. Yinli. Xiling Tianyu felt relieved after hearing this.
The Ninth Prince, who was thousands of miles away, knew what happened in the Xiling Palace, but he didn't know that it would be embarrassing if this matter were to be told to others, and it would also make people afraid of the Ninth Prince's power.
"What does it mean that your Majesty summoned Mr. Yinli? Could it be that the Imperial Master saw Feng Jin and said that Feng Jin has the appearance of an emperor, and your Majesty wants to make Feng Jin the crown prince?" Although he has no interest in the throne of Xiling, but... Xiling Tianyu is also a proud man. He can give up the position of crown prince, the throne, but he will never tolerate being deposed.
“Although the Imperial Master did not say that Feng Jin has the appearance of a son of heaven, he did say that you do not have the aura of a dragon and are definitely not a candidate for the crown prince.” The Ninth Prince was also testing Xiling Tianyu with these words.
Power is attractive, Xiling Tianyu's position is becoming more and more stable, and there is no guarantee that he will not have other thoughts. If he can find out a result in advance, he can also make preparations early.
Even though he trusted Xiling Tianyu, he also prepared a backup plan.
"Among the ten words spoken by the Imperial Master, only one is true. This sentence is true. I really do not have the aura of a true dragon emperor." Xiling Tianyu said indifferently, his eyes falling on his legs.
Xiling Tianyu silently told the Ninth Uncle that his legs were given to him by the Ninth Uncle, and that he was able to be where he is today because of these legs. If he did not have a pair of "legs" that could walk, even if he was the legitimate son, he would not have the capital to compete for the throne.
Compared to the throne, he cares more about his legs.
The two exchanged a knowing look, then looked away. The Ninth Prince spoke up, "Feng Jin... shouldn't get involved in Xiling's disputes."
"You are concerned about Qingchen, right?" Xiling Tianyu understood that even if the Ninth Prince's trip was for official business, there was a 50% chance that it was for Feng Qingchen.
Of course, these are not what Xiling Tianyu cares about. He just wants to know that the Ninth Prince will not lose his mind because of a woman.
Xiling Tianyu asked, "What did Mr. Yinli say?" Feng Jin was Mr. Yinli's son. Not many people knew this, and he happened to be an insider.
There's nothing he can do about it, the person who caused this misunderstanding happened to be his naive mother.
The Ninth Prince shook his head: "Meet him tonight."
"At this time?" Xiling Tianyu frowned: "Is it unsafe?" If Mr. Yinli had any thoughts for his son, the Ninth Uncle would be in trouble.
"Send someone to protect and follow him." One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others. The human heart is the most unpredictable. In Xiling, the Ninth Prince has to be careful.
It would be a real loss if we fail here.
"It's better not to go. Wait until you officially enter the city. No one will dare to take your life then." Xiling Tianyu didn't want the Ninth Prince to take risks, so he proposed the safest method.
"No time." Moreover, Mr. Yinli had spoken, and if he didn't go, it would not only show that he didn't trust Mr. Yinli, but also that he was timid.
Even if this meeting was a trap, he had to jump into it.
The fifth update is here... Remember to say you love me, hahahaha...
