A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1864 No way out, no way to die
Although Xiling was not completely scattered, it was not as solid as an iron barrel. Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince instigated the Princess and Prince Duan, just like Beiling instigated Prince Zhou to rebel. People in that position would always have some ideas.
You know, the royal family is the most concerned about the legitimate and illegitimate children, but also the least concerned. As long as they have royal blood, they are eligible to compete for the throne. Prince Duan does not have that ambition, but the person sitting on the throne may not believe it.
Prince Duan has been forced by Emperor Xiling to side with Tianyu. If Tianyu doesn't take the throne, his fate will be miserable. Not to mention, what will happen if his mortal rival, the eldest princess, takes the throne.
Not surprisingly, Prince Duan was moved.
"Feng Qingchen, the thing I regret most in my life is meeting you." Prince Duan said angrily before leaving. Feng Qingchen smiled indifferently, and when the Ninth Prince came out, he asked, "Does Prince Duan agree?"
"He has no choice." The Ninth Prince stepped forward and picked up Feng Qingchen: "You should change the medicine."
"Your Highness is very busy, so let the female doctor do this little thing." Having said that, Feng Qingchen did not move at all and nestled obediently in the arms of the Ninth Prince.
After recuperating for a few days, Feng Qingchen's bones became lazy and he was completely unwilling to move. He ordered his Ninth Uncle to do everything.
“No matter how busy I am, I still have this little time.” The Ninth Prince put Feng Qingchen on the bed, took out the medicine box beside him, and applied medicine to Feng Qingchen.
Although it was inconvenient to do things in Xiling, the Ninth Prince was not as busy as Feng Qingchen thought, and many things were naturally handled by others. Besides, he had already finished what he needed to do, and all he had to do was sit back and reap the results.
Resistance was futile, so they could only enjoy it. Feng Qingchen took the opportunity to put forward a condition: "Tomorrow, can I also go to the ancestral temple?" Staying here would only disperse their main force.
"No, you and Feng Jin go together tonight." The eldest princess is rebelling, and the imperial city must be the first place to be attacked. It will be very unsafe here.
"I can't leave. Feng Jin can be said to have gone to treat his illness. If I leave, you will be suspected of interfering in other countries' internal affairs. Dongling and Xiling will become mortal enemies." Feng Qingchen pointed to his wound: "My wound is not serious, and I will not be in danger in the ancestral temple."
If Feng Qingchen didn't leave, it would be unsafe for her to stay in the villa. The Ninth Prince stared at Feng Qingchen for a long while and agreed: "Let the Snow Wolf and the Eighteen Riders protect you from the outside."
It just so happened that Feng Jin was still afraid of the Snow Wolf, so it didn't matter if the Snow Wolf didn't go with Feng Jin. With Zuo An and Master Zuo An around, Feng Jin's safety would be no problem.
"As long as the Imperial Master doesn't mind me leading the pack, I don't mind." Feng Qingchen sat up straight to make it easier for the Ninth Prince to remove the bandages.
His index finger slid across Feng Qingchen's back, and the Ninth Prince whispered in Feng Qingchen's ear: "I think the State Master doesn't have time to mind."
"Uh..." Feng Qingchen felt a tingling sensation on his back. He didn't hear clearly what Uncle Nine said. He nodded randomly and urged, "Can you take it apart faster?"
This was not the first time Feng Qingchen told Uncle Nine that removing the bandages didn't have to be so troublesome, and that it could be done by simply cutting with scissors. However, Uncle Nine disagreed and had to untie them one circle at a time, which was really a torture...
That night, when the Ninth Prince arranged for Zuo An to take Feng Jin out of the city to meet up with Guo Baoji and his party, Prince Duan hurried to the palace. As soon as he saw the emperor, he knelt down and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has rebelled."
"Bang..." The emperor was so anxious that he knocked over the candlestick on the table, spilling kerosene on the books on the table. The eunuchs and palace maids rushed forward to put out the fire, but the emperor didn't even look at them. He hurried to Prince Duan and said, "What did you say? Third sister rebelled? At this time?"
Prince Duan noticed that the emperor's main concern was not the eldest princess' rebellion, but when he asked at this time, he knew that the emperor had already noticed it, but just kept his troops on hold.
Knowing that the eldest princess was going to rebel, the emperor actually stood on the eldest princess' side and ignored the suffering of his son Rui'er. The emperor's heart was really biased. Prince Duan became more and more disappointed with the emperor. He lowered his head and said, "I have received news from the army. One hundred thousand border guards have received a transfer order and divided into three groups to march towards the imperial city. If nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive outside the city tomorrow."
The only one who could mobilize 100,000 soldiers and horses was the military token in the hands of the emperor. It was obvious that the princess must have obtained the military token from the emperor. Of course, there was another possibility, that is, the generals of the border defense army had already surrendered to the princess and would naturally obey her orders.
"Okay, okay, my dear sister." The emperor looked sad, but he was not defeated by the news. He calmed down and looked down at Prince Duan. He said in a deep voice, "Where is the general..."
"I'm here." Prince Duan clasped his hands together and saluted.
"I order you to bring 30,000 imperial guards to stop the eldest princess. Remember... you must not let the eldest princess appear outside the city tomorrow." The emperor did not take the eldest princess' rebellion seriously.
The emperor knew that the princess had second thoughts, so he made preparations. The princess had 100,000 troops, but it was not enough.
"I obey your order." Prince Duan looked up at the emperor, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he said nothing and just did what the emperor said.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "The princess' rebellion must not be spread outside. We will discuss everything after tomorrow."
"I obey your order." Prince Duan knew that the emperor wanted to use the fact that the imperial master understood his deduction to make him famous and to slap the ninth uncle in the face, but...
I don’t know who will be slapped in the face in the end.
Not long after Prince Duan left, the Imperial Master came again in a hurry to ask for an audience: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."
"What's wrong?" The emperor raised his head with a dignified look. It was impossible to tell from his face how the eldest princess's rebellion had affected him.
"I, this old minister, have just deduced the eldest princess' destiny and discovered that the trajectory of her fate has completely changed. The eldest princess, she, she..." The old imperial teacher had a solemn expression on his face and did not dare to say the rest of the words.
The emperor sneered and took over the conversation, "The eldest princess, not only does she not have the fate of a phoenix, she will also die early."
"Yes, yes... the eldest princess' fate has completely changed." The old imperial teacher trembled and lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor again. He had asserted that the eldest princess had a noble fate and was the emperor's benefactor, but now... he was really slapping himself in the face.
The life of the eldest princess is connected with that of the emperor. The eldest princess is the emperor's noble lady and has always been protecting the emperor's dragon spirit. If the eldest princess cannot die of old age, the emperor's life may also be over.
It’s a mess, a mess, everything is a mess.
The old imperial master didn't dare to say any more to the emperor, and the emperor was in no mood to talk to the old imperial master about the invisible secrets and the future. He had to deal with the affairs at hand first.
Even though he had been prepared, the emperor did not dare to take it lightly. After the old imperial teacher left, the emperor immediately issued an edict, ordering his trusted confidants in the army to lead troops to the capital to protect the king, and at the same time summoned his trusted ministers to the palace to discuss matters.
When the emperor learned that the eldest princess had rebellious intentions, he did not stop them immediately, but allowed her to start the rebellion. He wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and purge all those who were disloyal in the court and the army.
Nothing is more suitable than the crime of treason to purge those ministers in the court who have disloyal intentions.
The emperor has been waiting for this moment for a long time!
A word to readers: Many of you said that yesterday three chapters were the same, and I shed tears silently... My backend is normal, so they should have been pulled synchronously. I have contacted the editor and hope it can be resolved today.
