A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1898 True or False, Soft Knife Killing

The rumor that Feng Qingchen took advantage of the Ninth Prince's favor and bullied the Ninth Prince's mother spread quickly in the imperial city like wings.

It is easy to find out where the rumor started. On that day on the street, I happened to see Madam Min coming out of Feng Mansion. They were the first wave of rumor spreaders. These people were not instructed by anyone, they just happened to see it and took it as a funny thing and told it to their friends.

"Women nowadays are really terrible. Do you know Feng Qingchen? She used to be just a pitiful creature, hiding in a corner and not daring to speak. Now she is so terrible... She even dares to bully the Grand Empress Dowager, forcing her to lower herself to see her, and even drove her out. She is really a disaster..."

If you want to show off in front of your friends, you naturally have to exaggerate. It may seem reasonable at the beginning, but it will be completely different later on.

"Feng Qingchen does not allow the Ninth Uncle to recognize his mother."

"Feng Qingchen wants the Empress Dowager to kneel down before her, and she is not afraid of shortening her life."

"Feng Qingchen beat the Empress Dowager."

"Feng Qingchen forced the Grand Empress Dowager to die."

…The rumor spread more and more, and within just a few days, everyone in the court and the country knew about it. One day at a small court meeting, a civil servant again proposed to restore Madam Min's identity and welcome her back to the palace.

When the Ninth Prince refused, the minor official actually asked in court whether Feng Qingchen had forbidden the Ninth Prince to recognize his mother. He also accused Feng Qingchen of being disloyal and unfilial, of having a despicable character, and of being a seducer who seduced the emperor. He asked the Ninth Prince to execute Feng Qingchen and not let Feng Qingchen disrupt the government.

Feng Qingchen seduced the lord, which was one of the charges against the Ninth Uncle in the Zhou Wang's punitive edict. It said that the Ninth Uncle favored the seductress, undermined the government, and violated the laws of his ancestors for the seductress many times.

This civil servant, by bringing up the manifesto written by Prince Zhou to attack the Ninth Prince's uncle, was forcing the Ninth Prince's uncle to execute Feng Qingchen, and wanted the Ninth Prince's uncle to use this to prove that the Prince Zhou's so-called crimes were absurd.

In the court and among the people, there were more and more voices of dissatisfaction with the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, and there were also more and more voices of sympathy for Madam Min.

People always sympathize with the weak, even if this weak person is only weak on the surface, he can still win the favor of others.

"She is indeed your mother." She is just as resourceful, just as cruel and ruthless, and she would do anything to harm others without blinking an eye.

With the development of the matter to this point, what is there to not understand? Madam Min just wants to use the advantage of public opinion to force the Ninth Prince to acknowledge her identity, welcome her into the palace, and give her the treatment that a Grand Empress Dowager deserves.

The Empress Dowager of Dongling is indeed ambitious.

Feng Qingchen couldn't help but praise Madam Min's methods. Giving birth to a good son is good enough. As long as she puts on a show, the whole world will sympathize with her. But she... obviously did nothing, but became a villain who was condemned by thousands of people.

"I will handle it quickly." The Ninth Prince knew that Feng Qingchen had been wronged, and it was obvious that this matter was manipulated with ulterior motives. As for whether it was his mother, the Ninth Prince could not determine, after all, there were too many people who would take advantage of this matter.

How to deal with it?

Feng Qingchen looked at the Ninth Uncle with a wry smile: "So at this point, what else can you do except admit it? This is just the first step. Your mother will not be willing to stay in the harem and be a woman with nobility but no real power."

"I will not give him that opportunity." This was the Ninth Prince's promise to Feng Qingchen, and it was also his bottom line.

Feng Qingchen glanced at the Ninth Uncle, feeling somewhat helpless, but at this moment she could only nod slightly. After the Ninth Uncle left, Feng Qingchen sighed secretly.

This was the Ninth Prince's mother. If any other woman dared to plot against her like this, she would definitely tear apart the other person's beauty. But now, she could only wait, waiting for the Ninth Prince to deal with this matter.

The Ninth Prince can stand by her side without hesitation now, will he do so in the future?

No matter how cold-blooded and ruthless the Ninth Prince is, that person is his mother after all. Although she has her own little thoughts, as long as she doesn't harm the Ninth Prince, it is only a matter of time before the Ninth Prince accepts her.

Feng Qingchen's worries were not groundless. Madam Min was not a woman who would accept her fate.

While the outside world was in a bloody storm and everyone was standing on the moral high ground, attacking Feng Qingchen, a spoiled and pampered woman, Madam Min was waiting for the Ninth Uncle at home with a haggard face.

After waiting for several days, Madam Min finally met the Ninth Prince. She quickly put away the disappointment on her face and looked at the Ninth Prince with loving eyes. When the Ninth Prince just stepped over the threshold, she stood up to greet him. After taking two steps, she remembered that the Ninth Prince did not like to be close to women, so she quickly stood still, looking very uneasy.

There is no mother in the world who would be so cautious and uneasy in front of her son.

Madam Min tried to force a smile and said apologetically, "I'm sorry about what happened outside. I didn't know it would turn out like this. I just wanted to ask Miss Feng to help me persuade you. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I know I've caused you trouble. Don't worry... I will quietly pray for your father in the palace and won't cause you any trouble."

Madam Min looked at the Ninth Prince with a sad face. Her eyes were filled with apology and uneasiness. Seeing that the Ninth Prince did not move, Madam Min said again: "I know you are worried about me. After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years. You are right to be on guard against me. Mother understands your situation."

Madam Min's eyes were slightly red, and she tried to force out a gentle smile: "I know you have grown up and no longer need me. After entering the palace, I will ask to go to the royal temple and copy scriptures for your father. In the future..." Madam Min choked up: "In the future, when you don't want to see me, I won't show up."

"You've grown up and become more beautiful than I ever imagined. I'm proud of you." Madam Min cried uncontrollably. Anyone would have been moved, but the Ninth Prince looked at her expressionlessly, waiting for her next words.

Such indifference and alienation made Mrs. Min very sad. Mrs. Min could no longer speak, and tremblingly took out a small brocade box from her arms and placed it on the table with reluctance.

"This is the only thing my parents left me. It's not valuable, but it's the only thing your grandma and grandpa left. Now I give it to you. No matter what, I hope you can accept it. Mother... Mother had no choice back then. Mother loves you very much, really loves you very much..."

By the end of this story, Madam Min was sobbing and her eyes were blurred by tears. Madam Min took one last look at the Ninth Prince, and her tear-stained face broke into a beautiful smile.

"No matter how old you are, you will always be my child in my heart. You are the person I feel most sorry for in my life. After you come to the temple, I will pray for you every day and hope you can be happy."

After saying this, Madam Min wiped her tears and hurried out. The Ninth Prince could still hear her uncontrollable crying after she left...

That sound makes anyone who hears it feel heartbroken!
