487 Visiting the sick, first appearance after injury

Everyone in Dongling felt insecure, and turned pale at the mention of the word assassin. Several princes, Nanling Jinfan, and Xiling Tianlei became the focus of attention, and there were heavy soldiers guarding the palace for 12 hours.

Those who are not aware of the situation think that this is to protect them, but those who are aware of the situation understand that this is more of a surveillance than a protection. The emperor does not trust them, or he is afraid that they will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

The imperial city was in the midst of a bloody storm. His Royal Highness Prince Luo, who had always been high-profile, also hid in his mansion and was unwilling to go out easily. Those young masters of noble families and powerful men who used to ride horses in the streets and sleep drunk on the laps of beauties also closed themselves in to study hard. Teahouses and restaurants were extremely deserted.

"For the sake of Feng Qingchen, he killed two high-ranking officials of the imperial court and detained all of us in the palace. The emperor's uncle is really a big shot." Dongling Zizhou, His Royal Highness Prince Zhou, complained to his staff in the palace, and Prince Qing and his men also said the same thing.

I thought that after returning to the imperial city from my fiefdom, I could do anything I wanted and win over the court officials, but I didn't expect...

Because of Feng Qingchen, they had to behave themselves time and again, not daring to reveal any ambition in front of their father, not daring to get close to the ministers and aristocratic families in the court. Now, because Feng Qingchen was assassinated, they were imprisoned in the mansion in disguise and had almost no freedom. For a prince, this was absolutely a shame.

Looking across all the countries, there is no prince who lives as miserably as they do. Feng Qingchen is just an orphan, but she has the ability to influence the political situation.

“Your Highness, please be careful with your words. The person who ordered the protection of you is the emperor. The Prince Zhai who searched the city for the assassin has nothing to do with the Ninth Uncle.” The young aide, who is nearly 40 years old, is dressed in a scholar's robe, clean and refreshing, with a bit of Confucian demeanor.

Dong Ling Zizhou sneered: "Yes, this series of events has nothing to do with the Ninth Uncle. My uncle is still ill and can't go out. I have to say that the Ninth Uncle's illness is really timely. If I didn't know that Feng Qingchen almost died, I would have suspected that the assassination was directed and acted by the Ninth Uncle himself. Uncle Liu, look at how many people have suffered because of Feng Qingchen's injury.

Let's not talk about the Nanling Su family, which has a bad reputation, let's talk about the Zhenguo Mansion. Somehow they found out that the Zhenguo Mansion has a large number of assassins outside the city, and Zhai Dongming ran into them. Don't you think Zhai Dongming's luck is too good? He ran into the assassins of the Zhenguo Mansion just by leaving the city. The Zhenguo Duke is really in trouble this time. It's shit or shit."

"Prince Zhai and Feng Qingchen are good friends, and he also has a good relationship with the Ninth Uncle." Dong Ling Zizhou's chief aide said with a wry smile, "The eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion has always had a bad relationship with Feng Qingchen. Although there is no evidence that the Feng Mansion was burned, everyone knows that it is related to the Zhenguo Mansion."

"Of course, I know that Zhai Dongming and Feng Qingchen have a close personal relationship. If it were someone else, they would have been dismissed long ago because two ministers died and the murderer could not be caught for a long time. Only Zhai Dongming was able to turn a disaster into a blessing. Not only was he not dismissed, but he was also promoted to a higher position. This time, he cleared out a group of remnants of the previous dynasty, which won the favor of my father."

There is really no comparison between these two people. He did nothing wrong, but he was being monitored. Zhai Dongming did something wrong, but he was able to lead his troops back and forth in the imperial city arrogantly. Dong Ling Zizhou really wanted to ask the emperor who his son was.

The staff knew, of course, that Dong Ling Zizhou was feeling upset. He had been in the imperial city for several months but had accomplished nothing. If he continued like this, he might not even be able to keep his fiefdom. Although Dong Ling Zizhou was eager to compete for the throne, he wanted his fiefdom back now. However, due to various reasons, the emperor had been reluctant to agree.

It is hard to guess the emperor's mind, so the staff dared not say much. They could only persuade Dong Ling Zizhou to calm down and came up with a small idea: "Your Highness is really anxious, why not go visit Feng Qingchen tomorrow."

If you build a good relationship with Feng Qingchen, maybe things will turn around. The staff didn't say this, but both sides understood that the Ninth Prince would listen to Feng Qingchen now.

"Visit Feng Qingchen? You want me to condescend to visit Feng Qingchen? Who does she think she is? She really thinks she is my aunt. Humph... If my uncle really takes her seriously, he would not allow rumors to spread rampantly, or even spread rumors to discredit her innocence. If my uncle really cares about her, he would just marry her. The position of the Ninth Princess would be vacant." Dong Ling Zizhou had a lot of resentment towards Feng Qingchen. He didn't dare to show it when they met normally because of his uncle's face, and he was not willing to pretend in private.

The staff knew this would happen, and they immediately analyzed for Dong Ling Zizhou that it was not that the Ninth Prince did not care about Feng Qingchen. On the contrary, because he cared about her, he deliberately said such words to make the world think that the Ninth Prince treated Feng Qingchen as a plaything. In this way, the Ninth Prince's enemies would not think of using Feng Qingchen to threaten the Ninth Prince.

Dong Ling Zizhou was half-believing and half-doubting, but after being persuaded by his staff, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed to visit Feng Qingchen tomorrow. As luck would have it, several princes had been imprisoned for the past few days and were feeling depressed, and they could not find a solution for a long time, so one by one they all set their sights on Feng Qingchen.

They knew very well that the matter of catching the assassin had caused such a big fuss. On the surface, it was Zhai Dongming who caused the fuss, but the real mastermind behind the scenes was the Ninth Prince Uncle. Only if the Ninth Prince Uncle let go would they be free. And if they wanted the Ninth Prince Uncle to let go, Feng Qingchen had to talk to him.

When the other princes heard that Prince Zhou was going to visit Feng Qingchen, they were not willing to be outdone and chose to go on the same day. So, on the tenth day when Feng Qingchen was seriously ill, the second prince Prince Yong, the third prince Prince Heng, the fourth prince Prince Qi, the fifth prince Prince Zhou, the sixth prince Prince Qing and the seventh prince Prince Luo all went to the west courtyard to visit him.

Ever since Feng Qingchen was injured, there has been a constant stream of people visiting him. A few days ago, because Feng Qingchen was still in danger, some people only sent him some medicinal herbs. Ever since Feng Qingchen woke up, there has been an endless stream of people coming to visit him.

The Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince have special status, so of course they would not come in person. In addition, there are differences between men and women, so it is not easy for them to visit the patient in person. There is no hostess in their house, so they only sent the housekeeper to come.

However, the wife of the commander-in-chief of the Blood-Clothed Guards, the wife of the Duke of Ningguo, the wife of the Crown Prince, the wife of the Marquis of Jinyang, and other hostesses of the mansions came in person. Even the pregnant Second Lady of the Xie family came, but none of them saw Feng Qingchen.

While Feng Qingchen was recuperating, the only people who could enter her ward were Su Wenqing, Zhai Dongming, and the little boy Su Wenhang.

Sun Sixing could stop others, but how could he stop such a group of princes? However, there was a difference between men and women, and these princes could not enter Feng Qingchen's boudoir. After Sun Sixing led them into the hall according to etiquette, he said to the princes, "Please wait for a moment, Your Highnesses, so that my master can change his clothes and come."

When Feng Qingchen heard the news that several princes were coming in person, she sneered. She understood the plans of these princes, but these princes overestimated her.

Feng Qingchen did not take the bridge. After just an incense stick of time, Feng Qingchen came in with the help of a maid. Dong Ling Ziluo was sitting at the end, and had been waiting for Feng Qingchen to appear. Feng Qingchen had not seen outsiders since she was injured. It had been rumored in the outside world that Feng Qingchen was disfigured.

Hearing footsteps outside the courtyard, he immediately looked over, only to see...
