A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1863 Coincidence, the price of betrayal
Well……
Feng Qingchen was furious. She knew that the petty-minded Ninth Prince would never let the Imperial Master go. At the beginning, when the Imperial Master said that she was dead, the Ninth Prince must have been furious. Now that he had found an opportunity, he would naturally not let the Imperial Master go easily.
"In this case, even if the Imperial Master is unwilling, he has to make the calculation."
"Yes, the Ninth Prince's words were too sharp and too harsh. He implied that if the Imperial Master didn't calculate, or couldn't calculate, it meant that the Imperial Master was a liar, and that the Emperor and the Imperial Master had teamed up to deceive and fool the people. The Emperor was almost so angry that he vomited blood by the Ninth Prince's specious arguments. Later, the Imperial Master came out and agreed to calculate the whereabouts of the eldest princess, and the matter came to an end." The Crown Princess looked at Feng Qingchen with resentment.
Some things are better to believe than not to believe. If the Imperial Master had no ability, he would not be valued by the Xiling royal family. The Ninth Prince was willing to offend the Imperial Master who could deduce the secrets of heaven and know the destiny for a woman. How could it not be enviable?
After Dongling, Feng Qingchen became famous in Xiling because of the Ninth Prince and became the object of envy, jealousy and hatred of the women in Xiling. Countless noble ladies and ladies in Xiling were eager to see Feng Qingchen's beauty and see how stunningly beautiful she was to make the Regent, a man with all the charm, fall in love with her.
Feng Qingchen should be thankful that the envoy's villa where she lived was heavily guarded and ordinary people could not enter, otherwise the threshold of the place where she lived would have been trampled down.
As agreed, the Crown Princess came in the morning, and Prince Duan arrived in the afternoon with little Tuanzi.
Feng Qingchen was injured, and the little ball rubbed against Feng Qingchen's face to show affection, then went over to play with Feng Jin. The snow wolf stood guard obediently by the side, because Feng Jin had not yet recovered from the shock of the snow wolf tearing people apart, and the snow wolf did not dare to get too close to Feng Jin, for fear of scaring Feng Jin.
Prince Duan saw that his son treated Feng Qingchen and Feng Jin better than him, and he immediately became jealous. He gritted his teeth and said, "I finally understand why you, a weak woman who can't lift anything with your hands or shoulders, are so arrogant in Xiling. It turns out that you have the Regent of Dongling, a man who dotes on women to no limit, as your backer. If he dotes on you so much, he won't spoil you to the point of being lawless and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."
For a woman, he jumped up and down, and fought with others. He was really a disgrace to men. He was even worse than Mr. Yinli. Mr. Yinli was forced, but what about the Ninth Prince? He was completely voluntary.
As a man, Prince Duan couldn't understand why the Ninth Prince was willing to sacrifice his own interests and offend others for Feng Qingchen. If it were him, he would never be able to do it.
Feng Qingchen smiled happily and said, "Your Highness, you can rest assured. The Ninth Prince is different from others. He doesn't worry about spoiling me at all. He wants to make me ignorant of the world. It would be best if I could be so willful that it would give all men other than him a headache."
"Ninth Prince is really smart. This way, no man will dare to compete with him for it, right?" Prince Duan rolled his eyes, feeling deeply disgusted by this couple with such bad tastes.
"Prince Duan is wise and understands everything immediately." Feng Qingchen leaned back slightly, leaning against the back of the chair to avoid pulling the wound with big movements.
Although this was somewhat rude, she was injured and no one would force her.
"I'm not praising you." Feng Qingchen felt too good about himself, and Prince Duan couldn't help but sabotage him.
"Meanwhile, me and you. I'm not praising you either." Feng Qingchen tapped the table lightly, and glanced at Xiaotuanzi and Feng Jin from the corner of his eyes. Seeing the soft Xiaotuanzi fiddling with the toys on the small couch with his legs, Feng Qingchen's eyes flashed with pity, and he stopped talking nonsense with Prince Duan, and said bluntly: "Prince Duan's visit today must not be as simple as visiting me. If you have anything to say, just speak frankly. For the sake of Xiaotuanzi, I won't embarrass you."
There are not so many coincidences in this world. She has been injured for so many days, and the Crown Princess and Prince Duan only sent her gifts. But today they came to see her without an appointment. It is impossible to say that they have no purpose.
Feng Qingchen could roughly guess the Crown Princess's purpose. It was nothing more than for the Cui family. She wanted to test how much she knew about the eldest princess' affairs and get some information from her. Of course, she also wanted to get close to her.
As for Prince Duan?
He should be here for the National Master's deduction tomorrow.
Tomorrow, the Imperial Master will deduce the whereabouts of the eldest princess, which is both a challenge and an opportunity. If the eldest princess is found according to the Imperial Master's deduction, then the Imperial Master has real ability and will naturally be admired by everyone in Xiling. The Imperial Master's predictions about Prince Duan and Little Tuanzi will naturally not be refuted.
One is destined to be alone, and the other is destined to die. With such a fate, Prince Duan and Xiaotuanzi will not be able to gain a foothold in Xiling.
Of course, if the national teacher cannot deduce the answer, then the people who oppose it will naturally be the ones who blame the national teacher, and it will be the national teacher who will lose his reputation.
Prince Duan sighed softly and explained his purpose, which was exactly as Feng Qingchen had guessed.
"I have seen the Imperial Master deduce destiny. The Imperial Master is indeed capable. He must be absolutely sure if he dares to agree." In other words, the Ninth Prince asked the Imperial Master to deduce the whereabouts of the eldest princess. Not only could it not undermine the Imperial Master's prestige, but it would make people more convinced of him.
"It's a 50-50 matter, there's no need to worry, Your Highness." Feng Qingchen leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes slightly.
The pit dug by the Ninth Prince Uncle is not something that the Imperial Master can jump out of just by his real ability. Feng Qingchen believes that the Ninth Prince Uncle must have a backup plan.
"This matter concerns my son's whole life. How can I not be anxious?" Afterwards, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen could just pat their butts and leave, but he and Xiaotuanzi couldn't do that.
"Your Highness must trust the Ninth Prince. He will not fight a battle without confidence." The eldest princess' rebellion is the biggest trump card in the Ninth Prince's hand. Emperor Xiling may have guessed this, so he did not agree to let the imperial teacher deduce the whereabouts of the eldest princess.
"I dare not believe him. The Ninth Prince will consider your situation but not mine. Even if he admits tomorrow that the Imperial Master has the ability to deduce destiny, it will not have any effect on him." No matter how great the influence of the Imperial Master is, he cannot interfere in the affairs of Dongling. The Imperial Master's reputation, whether good or bad, has no effect on the Ninth Prince.
"If you are worried, you can go to the Ninth Uncle. I think the Ninth Uncle will give you a satisfactory answer." Feng Qingchen smiled like a little fox. Prince Duan shuddered and asked in a deep voice, "You have already predicted this. Did you and the Ninth Uncle team up to plot against me?"
"How can it be called a conspiracy, Your Highness? There is no conflict of interest between us. As you said, the Ninth Prince and I are just passers-by in Xiling. No matter who the Emperor of Xiling is, it has no impact on me and the Ninth Prince. But it is different for you, Your Highness..." Feng Qingchen's voice was slow and low, with a bewitching tone.
Prince Duan stared at Feng Qingchen intently, frowning. Reason told him that if he wanted to be loyal to Xiling, he should take Xiaotuanzi away immediately and not talk to Feng Qingchen anymore, but emotionally...
He was indeed bewitched by Feng Qingchen's words.
He has been suspected by the emperor and has also sided with Tianyu. If the emperor is to be the emperor for another ten or twenty years, he and Xiaotuanzi will be dealt with sooner or later, but if Tianyu is the emperor, at least...
He is a meritorious official!
