Chapter 440 of The Emperor's Phoenix: The Divine Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine is a Misleading Story. Lan Jiuqing, You Bastard

The wound opened!

The Ninth Prince smiled bitterly as he looked at the bleeding wound.

Others died under the peony flowers and became romantic ghosts. What did he do? He took advantage of a little and almost lost his life. It was a losing deal no matter how you look at it.

The Ninth Prince took a deep breath, pulled out a white cloth from the secret compartment, and wrapped it around his waist several times. After making sure that no more blood would seep out, he breathed a sigh of relief, tied a knot, and fastened his shirt.

After doing all this, the Ninth Prince was already exhausted and out of breath, his steps a little unsteady. He leaned against the wall, breathing in and out. After a long while, he finally opened his eyes. There was fatigue that could not be concealed in his eyes, and his face was frighteningly pale. Without looking in the mirror, the Ninth Prince knew that his condition was not good.

I got injured one after another during this period, and most importantly, I didn't get a good rest after each injury. Even a strong person couldn't stand it.

The Ninth Prince pulled a chair over and sat down heavily. He did not stand up until the servant came to report that Feng Qingchen had finished changing the medicine for the injured soldiers. Before going out, he pinched his cheeks hard to make sure that his complexion was not too bad.

The moment he pushed the door open, the Ninth Prince's expression was normal, his pair of black eyes were as calm as a dry well, Feng Qingchen saw the Ninth Prince, but did not look at him carefully, just glanced at him quickly and got into the carriage.

Although she acted as if she didn't care, what happened in the carriage still made her very embarrassed, and she didn't know how to face the Ninth Uncle for a moment.

The way back was unusually quiet. Feng Qingchen deliberately avoided the Ninth Uncle, and the Ninth Uncle had no energy to provoke Feng Qingchen. The two of them occupied each side of the carriage and returned to the city leisurely.

The Ninth Prince directly sent Feng Qingchen to the small courtyard in the west area. As expected, outside the small courtyard where Feng Qingchen lived, there were several people walking back and forth stealthily at the door. When they saw the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen appear at the same time, they hurriedly hid themselves and left quietly with some ambiguous eyes.

Feng Qingchen rolled her eyes. She knew that going in and out with the Ninth Prince would definitely cause trouble. As expected, Feng Qingchen thanked him hastily and went straight back to the courtyard without waiting for the Ninth Prince to say more. After stepping into the courtyard, Feng Qingchen realized that she had forgotten to take down the medicine box.

She wanted to go back and get it, but then she thought better of it. There were eyes everywhere outside, and if she carried the medicine box in and out, something bad would happen. It didn't matter if she left the medicine box with the Ninth Prince. There was nothing too unusual in it anyway.

As soon as Feng Qingchen stepped into the mansion, Tong Jue and Tong Yao followed him and reported what happened after Feng Qingchen left the city.

"Miss, the impact of Mr. Yuan Xi's marriage proposal was originally on the decline, but after the calligraphy competition ended today, rumors started to spread again, saying that you won the calligraphy competition because of Mr. Yuan Xi and the Ninth Prince's love for you. Now people are saying everywhere that you won unfairly and Su Wan lost unjustly."

"Miss, a few radical people got together to cause trouble and demanded that you and Su Wan compete again. They refused to accept the request. Fortunately, the government sent people to suppress the incident and it did not have much impact."

"There are people watching outside the palace all the time, and there are some arrogant people who intend to break in. Fortunately, there are guards from Prince Su's palace."

"Miss, how should we deal with this matter? Should we dispel the rumors?"

It's no wonder that those people outside acted excessively. You have to know that Feng Qingchen's win or loss is related to the gambling game and their money. Although some people were instigated, most of them were clamoring for their own interests. They are not afraid if something really happens, after all, the law does not apply to the majority.

Feng Qingchen has tried her best to keep a low profile, but many things are not under her control. Things have developed to this point, and Feng Qingchen is no longer able to change them.

Doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate has always been Feng Qingchen's principle of action. Now that things have come to this, Feng Qingchen believes that he has done what he should do, and there is nothing he can do if the result is not satisfactory.

"Don't worry about this matter. Let them spread the word. You just need to ensure the safety of the mansion. After the competition is over, we will stay outside the city for a while." If I can't afford to provoke you, I can afford to hide from you. Now that things have developed to this point, I will offend people anyway. Feng Qingchen doesn't want to add to the trouble anymore.

Now, as long as Mr. Yuan Xi doesn't cause her trouble, she is not afraid.

"Miss, don't worry. With Tong Jue and I here, this mansion is absolutely safe." Tong Yao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. It is not easy to change the direction of public opinion in the entire imperial city.

"Well, the safety of the mansion is in your hands. Boil some water, I want to take a bath." Feng Qingchen did not return to her room, but went to the study. She had just changed the medicine for the patient and really didn't want to go back to her room in dirty clothes.

"Yes, Miss." Tong Jue went down immediately. Tong Yao cleaned the handkerchief and washed Feng Qingchen's hands. After Feng Qingchen sat down, Tong Yao took out a box from the treasure chest in the study.

"Miss, this is what I found under the couch when I was cleaning the study today."

"What is it?" Feng Qingchen was certain that this thing was most likely dropped by Lan Jiuqing. He didn't want to look at it, but seeing that Tong Yao's face looked a little strange, he decided to open it and take a look. As soon as he opened it, Feng Qingchen's face changed, and with a "pop", he closed the brocade box.

"Besides you, who else knows this?" Feng Qingchen asked harshly, her eyes flashing with anger. However, her anger was not directed at Tong Yao, but at that bastard Lan Jiuqing.

Bastard, bastard, what a big bastard. I thought he was a good person, but I didn't expect...

Lan Jiuqing, that bastard, actually took advantage of her situation and robbed her of her things. Humph... Lan Jiuqing, your life-saving grace is canceled out. If you hadn't taken my things, I wouldn't have been in danger.

Feng Qingchen gritted her teeth. If Lan Jiuqing was in front of her, she would definitely beat him up to vent her anger.

Apparently, the incident in the bamboo forest last time was related to Lan Jiuqing. She went to the bamboo forest last time to investigate the matter of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and the child, but she found nothing. She also fainted in an inexplicable forest and lost her gun.

Feng Qingchen absolutely did not believe that Lan Jiuqing had just picked up her gun. Lan Jiuqing was definitely there that day. Could Lan Jiuqing be the descendant of the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo? They were about the same age.

Feng Qingchen's face darkened. Tong Yao was startled and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Miss, no, no one else knows except me."

"Very good, go down, and remember, you didn't pick up anything in the study." Feng Qingchen warned.

If the matter of the pistol were to leak out, the impact would probably not be less than that of the thunder bomb. After finally killing Li Xiang, Feng Qingchen really didn't want anything related to weapons to happen again.

"Yes." Tong Yao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly complaining in her heart that her young lady was now increasingly acting like a superior. She usually had a smile on her face and looked easy-going, but once she got serious or angry, she was extremely scary.

Feng Qingchen put away the pistol and thought about Lan Jiuqing and the matter of the Duke of Zhenguo again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lan Jiuqing was most likely the descendant of the Duke of Zhenguo's legitimate son. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he appeared in the temple where the Duke of Zhenguo's wife lived.

When she thought of this possibility, Feng Qingchen felt that the world was really small. The genuine descendant of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion that she had been looking for was actually right next to her.

However, it seems that this move is useless. Given Lan Jiuqing's pride, he will definitely look down on the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If he wants to deal with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he probably has to think of no other way.

Speaking of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Feng Qingchen thought of the Marquis of Yongchang's Mansion again. Because of her competition with Su Wan, the execution of the Marquis of Yongchang's Mansion became less noticeable.

Speaking of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, Feng Qingchen sincerely felt that she had done a good thing. If it weren't for her, the Yongchang Marquis would definitely continue to harm the people.

Marquis Yongchang was not much better as he raised his son into such a dissolute young man. Not only did he bully men and women, he also brought harm to court ministers.

In order to seize his subordinate's wife, Marquis Yongchang accused the man of being a remnant of the previous dynasty, causing the subordinate's property to be confiscated and his family to be exterminated, while he still took the man's wife openly.

Marquis Yongchang and the Duke Zhenguo were birds of a feather. The Duke Zhenguo liked to play with little boys, while Marquis Yongchang liked to play with little girls and pregnant women. When their house was searched, a small dark room was found in the Marquis Yongchang's mansion, and there were more than twenty naked little girls in the small dark room.

The oldest of those girls was twelve years old, and the youngest was only six. They were all pale and thin, with dull eyes, and were dazed and covered in wounds. Marquis Yongchang had grown tired of playing with them, and locked them up there to die.

After knowing the news, Feng Qingchen's heart ached. She thought of Xiaozhi who died in the Blood Robe Guard prison. The child begged her to avenge him at the cost of his eyes, but she never did it.

Feng Qingchen never thought that she was kind, but after she knew about this, she had no choice but to do nothing. She asked Tong Jue and Tong Yao to secretly buy a yard outside the city, bought all the unclaimed little girls in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and sent them outside the city one by one to recuperate.

After her competition with Su Wan is over, she will go to see them. If possible, she will try to heal them. They are pitiful people just like Xiaozhi, but they are happier than Xiaozhi because at least they are still alive.

Feng Qingchen sat in the study, thinking about these messy things. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. Although she understood that such dark and cold-blooded things would happen in every era and she couldn't control them all, the premise was that she hadn't encountered them. If she did, she would definitely not stand idly by. This had nothing to do with chivalry and kindness. She just didn't want to make herself feel guilty.

It was not until Tong Jue came and told Feng Qingchen that he was well enough to take a bath that Feng Qingchen withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about the things that upset him.

After bathing, it was time for dinner. They ate a lot of snacks in the Ninth Prince's carriage. Feng Qingchen didn't eat much for dinner. After eating half a bowl, he asked Tong Jue and Tong Yao to take it away.

Tong Jue and Tong Yao were a little worried. Their daughter usually ate little, and she ate even less today. Tong Jue wanted to persuade her, but Tong Yao pulled her and signaled her not to speak.

Tong Jue asked Tong Yao what was wrong, but Tong Yao just shook her head and refused to say more.

Tong Yao guessed that their young lady was in a bad mood, which was probably related to the strange things in the study, but the young lady had told her not to say anything, so she couldn't say it.

Knowing that Feng Qingchen was in a bad mood, the two maids did not dare to say much. They packed up their things and went downstairs, and at the same time told the people in the mansion not to disturb the young lady unless necessary.

Feng Qingchen walked around outside twice and didn't return to her room until it was dark. When she opened the door, she saw Lan Jiuqing sitting in her room...

It's the end of the month, it would be a waste if you don't vote for the monthly ticket. If you have extra votes after voting for Emperor Phoenix, you can vote for Phoenix. Oh, they will update more tomorrow.
