475 Interception, the Ninth Emperor's Mighty
As Feng Qingchen expected, Nanling Jinfan and Su Wan not only heard what Dongling Ziluo and Xiling Tianlei said, but also came to cause trouble for her on purpose.
Nanling Jinfan's narrow phoenix eyes were full of evil. He glanced at Xiling Tianlei and Dongling Ziluo with contempt, and said to Feng Qingchen with a smile on his face: "It is indeed a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Qingchen and Prince Lei and His Royal Highness Prince Luo here. Prince Lei and Prince Luo want to send Qingchen home? This is not good, right? There is no clear distinction between men and women, so you two should avoid suspicion. For the sake of Qingchen's reputation, it is better for Su Wan and the little prince to send Qingchen back. Qingchen, what do you mean?"
Nanling Jinfan was indeed a sharp-tongued person, and his words sounded very eloquent, especially the last sentence, which seemed to be a question but was actually spoken in an affirmative tone.
It's you, am I familiar with you? Who are you calling "Qingchen" all the time? Feng Qingchen gritted his teeth, resisted the urge to curse, and forced a stiff smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Prince Lei, Prince Luo, and the Third Prince. Qingchen knows the way home, so I won't bother the Third Prince."
They are sending your sister off. It's not the first time for her to go out of the palace. Why haven't you seen them sending her off usually? But today, they all come to show their courtesy. If you say there is no bad intention, she would never believe it even if you kill her.
Really, they all acted confident and affectionate, thinking that Feng Qingchen had never seen a man before, and that if a man smiled and said a few nice words to her, she would obediently listen to him, humph...
"Why bother me? I have admired Qingchen for a long time. Today is a good opportunity. Please don't reject me and fulfill my love for her." Nanling Jinfan winked at Feng Qingchen, reminding her that he had once said that he wanted to marry her.
"Hehe, Qingchen is my noble lady from Dongling, so please don't bother Crown Prince Lei and the Third Prince. I will send Qingchen to the place safely." Dongling Ziluo bypassed Feng Qingchen and made the decision directly.
Xiling Tianlei was not willing to accept it: "Your Highness Prince Luo, what you said is wrong. Although Qingchen is a noble lady of Dongling, I am also an old acquaintance of Qingchen. Sending Qingchen home is just a small thing, how can it be a trouble. Qingchen, I just have something to tell you about what happened at the gate of the city that day. I think you should be interested in some details."
In order to lure Feng Qingchen into his carriage, Xiling Tianlei spent a huge amount of money and even used what happened on Feng Qingchen's wedding day as bait.
Feng Qingchen's calm expression relaxed a little. He looked up at Xiling Tianlei, with a hint of struggle in his eyes.
She really wanted to know what happened that day, and about her maid. Because of the maid's betrayal, she became extremely wary of the maids around her.
She was afraid, afraid of being stabbed in the back again by someone she trusted. The feeling of being forced into a desperate situation was too terrible. At the same time, she also wanted to know who had brutally raped her maid to death. When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner. Even if her maid had betrayed her, she would not allow anyone else to do it.
Xiling Tianlei struck while the iron was hot and said, "Qingchen, how about I send you back? I promise that as long as Qingchen wants to know something, I will tell you everything I know."
The Ninth Prince has almost finished investigating what happened on Feng Qingchen's wedding day, and Feng Qingchen knows everything he should know. It doesn't matter whether he tells it or not. Telling it might ease the relationship between the two.
Besides, even if Feng Qingchen was sure that he did it, would Feng Qingchen, an orphan, still want to be an enemy of him and the entire Xiling royal family?
Stop joking!
So cruel!
Nanling Jinfan gave Xiling Tianlei a thumbs up. This matter could be used. Xiling Tianlei was indeed a real man. Nanling Jinfan simply withdrew from the fight for the person and stood aside to watch the show.
What Dong Ling Zi Luo fears most now is that someone will mention what happened on the wedding day in front of Feng Qingchen. What happened on that day is closely related to him. Dong Ling Zi Luo is extremely anxious, but he can't find a good reason to refuse on behalf of Feng Qingchen. If he says too much, he will seem guilty. After all, all the evidence now points to Xiling Tianlei and has nothing to do with him.
At this moment, reinforcements appeared, allowing Dong Ling Zi Luo to breathe a sigh of relief.
The leader of the Ninth Prince's personal guards, holding the token of the Ninth Prince's Palace, strode towards Feng Qingchen and his group under the leadership of the eunuch.
"Greetings to Your Highnesses. Long live the Lord." He was dressed in tight clothes, standing straight and strong, kneeling on one knee in front of everyone, but neither humble nor arrogant.
"No need to be so polite!" Dong Lingzi Luo said loudly. He felt a little uncomfortable with the Ninth Prince because of the rumors, but he was really happy to see the people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Because of a kick from the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Xiling Tianlei could not go with Feng Qingchen and talk to Feng Qingchen about what happened on the wedding day.
"Thank you, Your Highness." The leader of the personal guards stood up to return the greeting, his eyes falling directly on Feng Qingchen: "Miss, I am following the orders of the Ninth Prince to take you back to the palace."
Note, note, it is "pick up the girl back home" instead of inviting Feng Qingchen to go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Feng Qingchen didn't notice it, but that doesn't mean Dongling Ziluo and Xiling Tianlei didn't notice it. Xiling Tianda and Nanling Jinfan were not allowed to ask questions by outsiders, so they signaled Dongling Ziluo with their eyes to ask clearly, which mansion they were going back to this time.
Dong Ling Zi Luo glared at the two of them unhappily. Why didn't they think about it when they were fighting for the person from him? They were outsiders. But even so, Dong Ling Zi Luo still asked: "Go back to the mansion? Did the Ninth Prince send you to take Qing Chen back to the small courtyard in the west district?"
"To reply to Your Highness Prince Luo, no, the Ninth Prince Uncle asked me to take the young lady back to the Ninth Prince's Palace. Your Highness, the Ninth Prince Uncle is waiting for Miss Feng. If there is nothing else, please forgive me for being rude and let Miss Feng go ahead." The Ninth Prince Uncle's personal soldiers were just like the Ninth Prince Uncle and did not give anyone a chance to refuse.
Feng Qingchen didn't say a word from beginning to end. Of course, she didn't mean to refuse. She was having a headache being caught between these three people. Although the Ninth Prince's personal soldiers were rude, at least the Ninth Prince was safer than these three. Although she didn't want to see the Ninth Prince at this time.
"Your Highnesses, Qingchen will go ahead."
No matter what, she and the Ninth Prince have a special relationship. The Ninth Prince would not turn hostile to her as soon as he got out of bed. Although she felt quite awkward meeting her today, the Ninth Prince had already sent someone to pick her up. Could she refuse?
Anyway, as long as the Ninth Prince didn't mention it, she would just pretend that nothing had happened. She, Feng Qingchen, was not so humble as to use her innocence to fight for fame and money. If she did that, what difference would she make from a prostitute?
**, it was consensual, the Ninth Prince did not force her, and she had no right to ask for anything from the Ninth Prince.
Feng Qingchen walked away in style, but the three men looked depressed. Nanling Jinfan spread his hands and said, "Well, after all the fighting, the Ninth Prince got the upper hand. Looking at Feng Qingchen's expression, if we weren't fighting here, he probably wouldn't have gone with the Ninth Prince's soldiers."
Indeed, if Feng Qingchen had not been forced into a difficult situation by Dong Ling Zi Luo and the other two, she really would not have gone with the Ninth Prince's personal soldiers today.
I have to say, the Ninth Prince is lucky.
"In my opinion, the Ninth Prince should have made it clear. He was sure that it would be difficult for Feng Qingchen to leave the palace, so he allowed the leader of his personal guards to enter the palace." Xiling Tianlei took a look at the bundles in the hands of the two maids behind Feng Qingchen and said in a mysterious manner.
Feng Qingchen entered the palace wearing the Ninth Prince's formal dress. The Ninth Prince must have known about it, otherwise he would not have specially sent the leader of his personal guards into the palace to pick up Feng Qingchen.
If his investigation was correct, the leader of the Ninth Prince's personal guards was a third-rank military general.
Dong Ling Zi Luo smiled bitterly and said nothing.
With the protection of the Ninth Prince's men, Feng Qingchen should be able to leave the palace safely and nothing will happen because of that dress.
In the palace, there are thousands of reasons to cause trouble for someone...
