A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1913 Watching, I am still unmoved

With the emperors of the four countries fanning the flames, the rumors became more and more intense. Wang Jinling didn't have to do anything, and the effect that the Ninth Prince wanted had already occurred.

In fact, apart from bringing up the matter of Lan Jingyang and the treasure, Wang Jinling only had people spread the matter of Tianqiong Fort and Dongling, and he did almost nothing else. The series of events that followed were the result of intervention from various parties.

It makes sense. Lan Jingyang's secret and the treasure of the previous dynasty were exposed, and the existence of the Hundred Ghosts Palace was also dug out in depth. How could Lian Cheng and the Hundred Ghosts Palace let it go? It was completely expected that they would spread rumors about the life experience of the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen.

Feng Qingchen was shocked and worried at first, but she quickly put the matter behind her. Her identity would be exposed sooner or later anyway, and it didn't make much difference whether it was sooner or later.

In this mess, revealing her identity can confuse people, so there is nothing wrong with that...

Taicheng had been breached, and the governor of Shandong submitted a memorial to the court, reporting the situation in Taicheng and requesting the court to send someone to take over Taicheng and send troops to garrison Taicheng.

Feng Qingchen's original plan was to let the Fengli clan occupy Taicheng and become the new masters of Taicheng. However, because the affairs of the Fengli clan were exposed, Feng Qingchen had to suppress the matter and wait until the storm had passed before planning to restore the reputation of the Fengli clan.

The Fengli Clan continued to hide behind the scenes, and gave Taicheng to Dongling, seeking Dongling's temporary protection.

Years ago, Doudou defeated King Zhou and King Yong. King Yong committed suicide on the city wall, and all his family members and wives committed suicide. More than 500 people in King Yong's mansion died.

When the news was sent to the border, the Ninth Prince stood outside for a while. He came back the next day and wrote an imperial edict to posthumously confer the title of Prince Yong on Prince Yong. He also ordered that Prince Yong, his wife, and the Crown Prince be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Men of the Dongling royal family lose with pride even if they lose!

The Lord of Chu City fell seriously ill and died during the war, and Prince Zhou and Chu Changhua were captured alive. With Chu Changhua around, the Ninth Prince would at most imprison Prince Zhou, but would never kill him. After all, Prince Zhou was the son-in-law of the Lord of Chu City. If he wanted to rule Chu City, he had to let the people of Chu City see his kindness.

He even let the culprit, King Zhou, go. As long as the people of Chu City surrender, Dongling will let bygones be bygones.

While Liancheng and Baigui Palace were plagued by rumors and other countries were intent on investigating the treasures of the previous dynasty and wanted to join forces to suppress the Ninth Prince, Dongling received good news one after another.

Wu Shi captured Taicheng silently, and then Doudou led the captives to the capital. Before they arrived, news came from the border that the Ninth Prince had defeated Beiling, penetrated deep into Beiling's hinterland, captured Beiling's general Gong alive, and was preparing to move his troops back to the court.

It was almost the end of the year, and with the Ninth Prince returning to the city, the mystery of his and Feng Qingchen's life experiences became more and more complicated. Everyone had their own plans in mind, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits.

Under the manipulation of the emperors of various countries, everyone seemed to have forgotten about Lan Jingyang, another direct descendant of the Lan family, and instead focused all their attention on Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince, two people whose identities had not yet been confirmed.

If it weren't for the treasures of the previous dynasty and the threats from the Palace of Hundred Ghosts, the emperors of various countries might have already begun discussing sending troops to attack Dongling on the grounds of Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince's life experiences.

The whole situation became more and more chaotic. Not to mention ordinary people, even the emperors and city lords of various countries who were at the center of power didn't know where to start.

Should he search for the treasures of the previous dynasty and wipe out the remnants of the previous dynasty? Should he start with Liancheng or the Hundred Ghosts Palace? Or should he start with Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Emperor's uncle?

With one problem after another on their desks, the emperors of various countries were extremely troubled and had no idea where to start.

Feng Qingchen had been staying in the Imperial City, and had never paid any attention to rumors from the outside world. Once, a respected person came to visit her in the name of a visit, but in reality he was asking questions. Feng Qingchen only replied, "How old was I when my parents died? You told me even my mother's identity. Besides, would you believe what I say? True or false is not important. What matters is what you think in your heart."

Feng Qingchen neither admitted nor denied it. She was extremely calm in the face of the rumors outside, which made those who were watching even more confused. But on second thought, whether Feng Qingchen was Feng Li’s legitimate daughter or not, what did it have to do with them?

"What happened to Fengli's daughter? She is just an ordinary person now. She has to rely on herself to survive. The Fengli clan has long been in decline. Even if there are still people in the clan, they are not as powerful as the noble families of the time. The title of Fengli's daughter, which is more honorable than a princess, is now worthless." The master of Xuanyi Valley sneered at the news. As for the rumors about the Ninth Prince's life experience, the master found it even more funny: "Whether the Ninth Prince is a descendant of the Lan family has nothing to do with you. Have you forgotten that the Ninth Prince's father was the founding emperor of Dongling?"

"I didn't expect that these two people had such powerful backgrounds, one more impressive than the other. I thought Feng Qingchen was just the daughter of an ordinary family, but it turns out that she is the only daughter of King Fengli." Yun Xiao and Wang Qi didn't believe the news at first, but when they saw Sun Sixing looked worried, they thought of Sun Zhengdao at the same time and knew about 70% of the truth.

At first, the two were somewhat dissatisfied with Feng Qingchen's concealment, but then they thought about it and understood that the identity of Feng Li's legitimate daughter would not bring Feng Qingchen supreme dignity, but endless troubles, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"I was worried that Feng Qingchen was not worthy of Uncle Nine. Now I think... it should be Uncle Nine who deserves Qingchen. King Fengli only left this one daughter. The Fengli people would rather Qingchen find a son-in-law than let her marry off." King Jiangnan was shocked when he heard the news of his rebellion. He was planning to write a memorial to the capital to explain, but...

Before the memorial was finished, new rumors spread. In comparison, his rebellion seemed so weak. Without even a second thought, the King of Jiangnan burned the memorial.

"It's just a rumor, we don't know whether it's true or not. There are also rumors outside that you are rebelling, could that be true too?" King Qing was more pragmatic and took a skeptical attitude towards all these news.

Rumors stop at the wise. Although he is not a wise man, he will not easily draw conclusions without verification.

"There are rumors everywhere outside. Except for my rebellion, all the others have their basis. Even if they are not true, they are still related." In fact, his rebellion was also based on facts and was not groundless. Many rebels who were captured alive by the Qing king pointed out that he was the mastermind behind the rebellion.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have hurriedly written a letter to explain because of a rumor.

Prince Qing thought of something, frowned, looked at Prince Jiangnan solemnly, and said with a heavy heart: "Royal brother, I beg you not to get involved in these things. I don't want you to end up like the second, fifth, and seventh brothers. I don't want one day to be like Anping, saving you for others and being manipulated by others. Royal brother, even if the mother of the ninth uncle is a princess of the previous dynasty, he is also the son of the emperor."

"What are you thinking about... I have stopped thinking about those things a long time ago. I know very well that I cannot shake the Ninth Uncle with my strength." King Jiangnan was stunned, then he smiled bitterly.

Prince Qing's concerns were not without reason. Prince Jiangnan had indeed thought of using this incident to expel the Ninth Prince from the power center of Dongling, and then join forces with Prince Qing to control the Dongling government.

But just as the thought came to his mind, Chi Lianshui and Guo Baoji discovered it. These two people had a good personal relationship with King Jiangnan, and they reminded him privately: "Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen let the rumors spread. Do you think they don't have a backup plan? Maybe these rumors were spread by the Ninth Prince himself. Don't be fooled."

King Jiangnan was shocked, his heart skipped a beat, and he never dared to think about it again...
