A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1903 Diligent, there is really something

No matter how upset or tired Madam Min was, she couldn't fall down at this time. Lan Jingyang didn't leave any descendants, and he couldn't die now. She couldn't let the Lan family's direct bloodline be destroyed in her hands.

Rubbing her brows, Madam Min pulled herself together and quickly made a decision: "Notify everyone to withdraw all the people from Jiangnan, including those stationed in Dongling Shenjiying and the Imperial City. No one should be left behind. Let the old city lord take the young master to Jiangnan to find the master of Xuanyi Valley and tell him that once this matter is resolved, Liancheng will no longer have any plans to target Xuanyi Valley."

Madam Min spoke very slowly, and every word was very heavy. These were all the hard work she and her subordinates had put in over the years, and now they all had to be taken back. Naturally, she felt bad, but for Lan Jingyang, she had no choice.

After making so many concessions, Dong Lingjiu should understand what she meant. As long as he still wants to hide his identity, he will not stop the master of Xuanyi Valley from saving Jing Yang.

"I understand." The visitor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after getting Madam Min's consent, he quickly retreated, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would anger Madam Min and suffer the consequences.

The other servants also retreated to the outer room, leaving only Madam Min alone in the room. Madam Min sat there, looking thoughtful, staring at the candlelight on the table without blinking, with crystal tears in her eyes...

A sleepless night!

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen did not sleep much that night. The Ninth Prince only took a short nap in the second half of the night and then got up. Looking at Feng Qingchen who was sleeping soundly, the Ninth Prince moved very gently and did not wake Feng Qingchen up. Instead, he got dressed, opened the door and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, the secret guard came forward and whispered the news he had just received in front of the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince paused for a moment and nodded expressionlessly. Only the cold light in his eyes revealed his current mood...

The time was just right on that day, and the Ninth Prince did not attend the morning court late, nor did he make the foolish mistake of "the king no longer attends the morning court from now on", which reduced an opportunity for the censors to preach.

At today's small court meeting, the matter of conferring a title on Madam Min was discussed. The Ninth Prince had no objection to this matter and asked the people from the Ministry of Rites to start the work. He only mentioned lightly: "The war in the previous dynasty was tight, so we should not waste time."

The officials below were all shrewd people. After the Ninth Prince's words came out, they still had something to understand. The officials of the Ministry of Rites would naturally write a simple and grand ceremony for the Ninth Prince to confer the title. However, the place where the ceremony was held made them extremely puzzled...

"Uncle Ninth Prince, what do you mean by holding the enthronement ceremony in the royal temple?" This dynasty has been established for less than a hundred years, and Madam Min is the first Empress Dowager. There was no precedent before, so they could only refer to the etiquette of the previous dynasty. However, the previous dynasty never had the practice of holding ceremonies in temples.

The Minister of Rites was afraid of making mistakes, but he didn't dare to ask the Ninth Prince directly, so he could only find Wang Jinling, who seemed easier to talk to.

"Young Master, what does the Regent mean by this?" Wang Jinling had a kind face and was gentle and polite to everyone he met. Even though these officials knew that Wang Jinling was quite capable, they still couldn't dislike him.

Wang Jinling lived up to his name of Jade Man. He smiled before he spoke, and said gently and politely: "I don't know the details. I heard from the Regent privately that the Empress Dowager was devoted to Buddhism and could not let go of the late emperor. She often couldn't sleep all night long."

Although Wang Jinling did not say it explicitly, his words were already very straightforward. If the Minister of Rites still did not understand, he would not be qualified to stay in this position.

"Thank you for your guidance, young master."

"I don't deserve it."

After the Minister of Rites thanked Wang Jinling solemnly, he hurried back to ask his subordinates to revise the plan for the ceremony. At the same time, he gave a tip to officials he was familiar with so as to avoid misjudging the Ninth Prince's thoughts.

Wang Jinling looked at the back of the Minister of Rites with a faint smile on his face: "Uncle Nine must thank me this time for helping him solve a problem."

Wang Jinling was naturally happy that he could make Madam Min suffer a loss.

Madam Min plotted against Feng Qingchen and took advantage of Feng Qingchen's canonization. Others might not know about it, but Jin Ling must know about it. It's just that he was in the center of the storm, so he couldn't take any action for fear of implicating Feng Qingchen.

Wang Jinling walked out of the palace with light steps. The servant immediately stepped forward and took off Wang Jinling's cloak, and whispered: "Sir, the Ninth Prince has booked the Zhufeng Tower today."

"Who is he going to kill?" This was definitely Wang Jinling's natural reaction.

Everyone in the capital city knew that the Ninth Prince's dinner at Zhufeng Tower was not a good thing at all.

"We haven't found out yet. The matter happened suddenly, and the people from the Ninth Prince's Palace came to make the decision at short notice." The servant lowered his head, silently feeling ashamed of his own incompetence.

"If it were so easy to investigate, others wouldn't be so panicked." Wang Jinling waved his hand nonchalantly and walked towards the carriage. He just secretly asked someone to keep an eye on Zhufeng Tower and report to him immediately if anything happened.

Not everyone was as well-informed as Wang Jinling, and outsiders had no idea that the Ninth Prince was going to the Wind Chasing Tower. Except for the owner, Wang Jinling, most people only knew about this after the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had finished their meal...

When we arrived at Zhufeng Tower, one exquisite dish after another was served, mainly crab.

Although now is not the best time to eat crabs, what the Ninth Prince wants to eat is naturally excellent. Feng Qingchen opened one at random and it was full of crab roe.

The fragrance was so tempting that Feng Qingchen's mouth began to drool. The Ninth Prince looked at Feng Qingchen with amusement, took the crab from her hand, and began to peel it carefully.

Feng Qingchen was flattered: "You won't do that today, just to invite me to eat crabs, right?"

She is not even allowed to do it herself. Are they treating her like an emperor?

No, not even the emperor could enjoy the treatment of being personally served by the Ninth Prince.

"Is there a problem?" The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and put the crab meat into Feng Qingchen's bowl.

Feng Qingchen took a bite and looked satisfied. He did not take a second bite, but asked first: "It is very problematic. You don't seem like such a free person."

The Ninth Prince smiled but did not answer. He just peeled the crab for Feng Qingchen slowly and politely. Seeing that Feng Qingchen was satisfied with the meal, the Ninth Prince was also very satisfied.

At the Wang family, when Wang Jinling heard the news from Zhufeng Tower, he suspected that he had heard it wrongly and almost disregarded his image and came to see it in person.

When did the Ninth Prince become so good at coaxing women? Or, did the Ninth Prince do something to offend Feng Qingchen, so he tried to please her in advance?

Not to mention Wang Jinling, even Feng Qingchen thought so.

After eating, Feng Qingchen put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter? No matter how big the matter is, I can handle it." She was not a curious person, otherwise she would not have waited until this time to ask.

The Ninth Prince laughed: "What are you thinking?" Then he felt a little bit of self-blame. He usually cared too little about Feng Qingchen, so much so that Feng Qingchen thought that even the slightest concern without any interest had a reason and purpose.

"Do you really have nothing to tell me?" Feng Qingchen still didn't believe it. The Ninth Prince sighed softly: "Originally, there was nothing wrong, but you insisted on asking. It doesn't hurt to tell you now."

This was a last minute decision before the morning court session today...
