1862 Recovering from the Injury, Isn't the Imperial Master a Fortune Teller?
Feng Qingchen's eyes were wide open, and the confusion in his eyes was too obvious for the Ninth Prince to ignore. He had already stood up to wash his hands, but he sat down again.
"If there is anything you want to know, you can ask me directly." Apart from the matter of Lan Jiuqing, he had nothing else to hide from Feng Qingchen.
Since the Ninth Prince had spoken in this way, Feng Qingchen naturally did not hesitate to ask: "Did you expect the princess to rebel a long time ago, so you and Mr. Yinli sang the same tune and forced the princess to take action?"
Feng Qingchen thought of the Xiling Jinyiwei commander-in-chief. Since this person was the Ninth Prince's man, the fact that the Princess intended to rebel could not be hidden from the Ninth Prince.
This person would not report other matters to the Ninth Uncle, but when it comes to major events related to the succession of imperial power in Xiling, he would definitely find a way to reveal it to the Ninth Uncle.
"Yes." The Ninth Prince did not deny it. The eldest princess had stationed troops and wanted to rebel, which was no small matter. Although it was not so loud and powerful, it was impossible to leave no trace.
Not only did he know, the Emperor of Xiling also knew something about it, but the eldest princess was very good at keeping secrets, so the information the Emperor of Xiling received was not so accurate.
When Emperor Xiling finds out that his most beloved sister has rebelled at this moment, the expression on his face will surely be very interesting.
"You... are so terrible." Feng Qingchen paused for a moment, but still expressed his evaluation of the Ninth Uncle.
The Ninth Prince did not care, a faint smile flashed in his eyes: "I did not force them to do anything, everything is their own choice." He was just taking advantage of their ambitions.
"But that's what makes it scary, isn't it?" In this matter, it seemed that the Ninth Prince helped Mr. Yinli, but in fact, the Ninth Prince used Mr. Yinli's divorce to force the eldest princess to take action early.
Feng Qingchen couldn't help but think that the fact that the eldest princess discovered that the Ninth Prince appeared in the city the day before entering the city might also be the work of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince calculated the eldest princess's ambition and used this incident to create a rift between Emperor Xiling and the eldest princess, thereby intensifying the eldest princess's determination to rebel.
Every step is just right
"I'm so glad that I'm not your enemy." The Ninth Prince is too good at using the people around him, and he knows too well what his opponents want.
"Whatever you want, I will give it to you with both hands. We will never be enemies." He slid his index finger stained with grape juice across Feng Qingchen's lips, "Take good care of your injuries. Since I'm here, I'll take care of the things outside. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."
He will not let go of anyone who hurt Feng Qingchen, starting with the eldest princess!
In the following days, just as the Ninth Prince said, Feng Qingchen didn't need to do anything except recuperate. During this time, the Crown Princess came to visit Feng Qingchen, and while she was talking, she suddenly looked at Feng Qingchen with envy.
"I really envy you for having a man who dotes on you so much and is so strong. I wonder how many women in Xiling would like to replace him." She was naturally one of them, but this kind of thing could only be thought about.
Of course, it’s not that Xiling Tianyu is not good enough, but that she and Xiling Tianyu have their own positions and interests. They have to take care of themselves first before thinking about each other.
"What happened?" Feng Qingchen looked puzzled. She was recuperating in the villa and had no idea what was going on outside.
"You don't know anything. Didn't the Ninth Prince tell you?" The Crown Princess was surprised. Her admiration for the Ninth Prince increased even more.
Feng Qingchen shook her head: "The Ninth Prince said that I need to rest now and don't need to worry about things outside." The Ninth Prince was treating her like a pig, and in Xiling, as long as the Ninth Prince opened his mouth, she would not be able to get any news at all.
"Really... it makes me jealous." The Crown Princess looked at Feng Qingchen with resentment, and said faintly: "The outside world is in chaos because of you, and you actually don't know anything. You are so lucky."
"What happened outside?" Feng Qingchen had a bad feeling.
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Two days ago, the Ninth Prince almost destroyed the Jinyiwei prison for you. The Jinyiwei commander-in-chief was also embarrassed by the Ninth Prince and almost lost his position."
"Uh..." Feng Qingchen didn't expect that the first target of the Ninth Prince's attack would be the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
The Crown Princess had enjoyed Feng Qingchen's surprised look enough, and continued: "Ninth Prince has been tracking down the people who assassinated you these days. Yesterday, they finally caught the people who assassinated you that day. The two people admitted that it was the eldest princess who ordered them to assassinate you. The Ninth Prince forced the emperor to issue an order on the spot, summoning the eldest princess to the palace for a confrontation. As a result, after waiting for a long time, the eldest princess did not come. The Ninth Prince was extremely dissatisfied and led people to rush into the princess's mansion. At this time, everyone knew that the eldest princess, who had been staying at home and claiming to be sick, had disappeared long ago. The Ninth Prince said that the emperor was protecting the real murderer and asked the emperor to give an explanation to Dong Ling."
"The eldest princess is missing?" Feng Qingchen had known about this for a long time, but at this time he still pretended to be surprised.
The Crown Princess nodded. "It is said that when the eldest princess learned that Mr. Yinli wanted to divorce her, she left the mansion in anger and has not returned since then. The people in the mansion of the eldest princess were afraid that the emperor would blame her, so they said that the eldest princess was sick and had been looking for her secretly. The emperor said that the eldest princess might have met with an accident, but the ninth uncle said that the emperor had hidden her and asked the emperor to hand her over. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and neither was willing to give in."
"What happened next?" Although Feng Qingchen did not see it with his own eyes, he could imagine the scene of the Ninth Prince in the hall, with a cold face, looking at the Emperor of Xiling with contempt and disdain.
With the Ninth Prince's swollen eyes, Emperor Xiling was no match for him at all. If he had not been worried that Tianyu had ulterior motives, the Ninth Prince would have taken action long ago to change the owner of Xiling.
"Later... the Ninth Prince said that since no one knows the whereabouts of the eldest princess, then let the national master calculate whether the eldest princess is dead or alive. If dead, then where did she die and at whose hands; if alive, then let the national master calculate the whereabouts of the eldest princess and they will go looking for her." The Crown Princess couldn't help but smile when she said this.
Only the Ninth Prince would use the Imperial Master as a fortune teller.
"How can this be calculated?" Feng Qingchen stroked his forehead, wanting to pretend that he didn't know the Ninth Uncle.
"The Emperor did not say whether the Imperial Master would reveal the secrets. The Emperor only said that the Imperial Master would not calculate for such a small matter. Revealing the secrets of heaven will lead to punishment from heaven. We cannot let the Imperial Master be punished by heaven for such a small matter."
"The Ninth Prince retorted sarcastically, saying that the disappearance of a princess of a country was no small matter. The Imperial Master calculated the destiny and spied on the secrets of heaven to relieve the emperor's worries. Now that the royal princess is missing, the Imperial Master has an obligation to do so. He also asked the emperor whether the reason for repeatedly making excuses to decline was because the Imperial Master was only seeking fame and had no real ability at all." The only one who dared to say this about the Imperial Master was the Ninth Prince.
After marrying Xiling Tianyu, the Crown Princess realized how high the status of the Imperial Master was in the Xiling royal family.
Xiling Tianyu is a perfect example. Just because the Imperial Master said that he did not have dragon energy, the Emperor never considered letting him inherit the throne, even though he is now the Crown Prince...
