523 Being polite is a sign of good manners, not a sign of being easy to bully
[The seventh update is here, the monthly votes are increasing so slowly, where is the motivation for the eighth and ninth updates! ]
The news he heard today was truly shocking. Feng Qingchen didn't know how to react except to nod.
She confirmed once again that the Ninth Prince's goal was not up to him. Dongling was so small that it could not keep the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince did not even take it seriously.
Thinking of the civil strife in Nanling, as well as the upcoming civil strife in Dongling and Xiling, Feng Qingchen suddenly felt that the man in front of him was not just generally strong, but super strong.
Unknowingly, he pushed the political situation of various countries and disrupted the peaceful continent of Kyushu. Such a man is really terrifying.
It takes a lot of strength, patience, and sophisticated planning to create the current situation and to control the situation in one's own hands.
.
Feng Qingchen couldn't believe how meticulous this man's mind was. What if he used such a meticulous mind to deal with her?
Uh... just thinking about it, Feng Qingchen felt so scared.
Shaking his head to get rid of this thought, Feng Qingchen suddenly thought of a very important question: "Ninth Uncle, to whom did the Queen's father and brother sell the grain and pig iron?"
Feng Qingchen suspected it was Beiling, but unfortunately Feng Qingchen was not the Ninth Prince, so she did not think the same as the Ninth Prince.
"Ahem, Nanling Jinfan." The Ninth Prince knew that Feng Qingchen had special feelings for Zhou Xing, but politics is politics and feelings are feelings.
"Ah..." Feng Qingchen never thought that it would be this Nanling Jinfan: "Aren't you and Nanling Jinfan on bad terms?"
"Business is business, and personal grudges are personal grudges. He can offer a high price." The Ninth Prince said guiltily.
Feng Qingchen rolled his eyes at the Ninth Prince in annoyance and said, "Come on, just make it up. I think you think Nanling is not in chaos enough, so you want to add fuel to the fire."
Well, Feng Qingchen was indeed worried about Zhou Xing, but she believed that the Ninth Uncle had his own plans. Besides, the Ninth Uncle and Zhou Xing were not related, so why should she ask the Ninth Uncle to help him?
Politics is not about emotions. Besides, the Ninth Prince has ambitions to rule the world, so anyone who stands in his way is his enemy. He can even plot against his own nephew, so what is Zhou Xing?
A woman's kindness will not accomplish anything great.
"Well, it's getting dark. Let's take a break. We will be busy tomorrow." The Ninth Prince's eyes wandered around, but he didn't look at Feng Qingchen.
He also knew that Feng Qingchen hated Nanling Jinfan, but some things could not be dealt with emotionally. In Nanling Kingdom, the only one who could compete with Nanling Jinxing was Nanling Jinfan, so Nanling Jinfan could not be defeated now, or should be said to be unable to be defeated too early. The civil strife in Nanling had just begun, how could it be quelled so quickly.
"Okay, then I'll go back to my room." Feng Qingchen was not angry with the Ninth Prince. She knew very well that the Ninth Prince also hated Nanling Jinfan, but he just couldn't die now.
The greatest role of a person lies in whether he has any value to be used. When that person deserves to die, it means that he has no value to be used.
"Then wait a minute, let's talk about it." The Ninth Prince quickly held the man down.
He forgot that this was the imperial palace. Even if they went to bed, Feng Qingchen could not sleep in the same room with him. After much thought, the study was the most convenient.
He should enjoy himself today, as the ancients said, "the beauty of a red-sleeved woman adds fragrance to your life."
"What else do you want to talk about?" Feng Qingchen didn't mind staying with the Ninth Uncle for a while longer. After hearing what the Ninth Uncle said, Feng Qingchen snuggled into his arms and played with the hair by his ears.
After this happened, she and the Ninth Prince would definitely not be able to meet for a long time. The downfall of the Queen's father and brother was no small matter.
"Well... let's talk about Ye Ye and Su Wan, how do you want to deal with them." After thinking it over, this is the safest topic, and they can talk about it for a long time.
…
The Crown Prince, Prince Luo, Xiling Tianlei, Ye Ye and Su Wan stayed in the room where the snake corpses were piled for half a day and a night. They were also hungry for half a day and a night. Fortunately, it was late autumn and the weather was cool, but if it was summer, the stench of the corpses would have suffocated these people.
Except for Su Wan, the other four did not sleep all night. Ye Ye dragged his weak body to take care of Su Wan.
.
When the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen finished their breakfast and came over full of energy, they saw four people with dark circles under their eyes, stubble, and looking listless.
Each of these four was a descendant of a royal family. When had they ever suffered such pain? The Ninth Prince's action was not only physical torture, but also mental torture. It trampled on their dignity and broke their pride.
"Uncle." The prince said this with great grievance, hoping to gain the care and concern of his ninth uncle.
"Ninth Uncle," Dongling Ziluo saluted politely, while Xiling Tianlei and Ye Ye snorted coldly with unfriendly eyes. It seemed that the Ninth Uncle had really offended someone badly this time.
“I have ordered people to prepare breakfast and hot water. If the Crown Prince and Prince Luo have nothing else to do, please go and bathe and change clothes, so as not to lose the dignity of the royal family.” Only the Ninth Prince dared to lock up the Crown Prince and the emperor’s favorite prince for a whole day, and even dared to scold them afterwards.
"Thank you, Uncle Ninth Prince." Only Uncle Ninth Prince could be asked to express his gratitude after imprisoning someone.
"What about you, Prince Lei? Do you want to stay here to accompany Young Master Ye, or go take a shower and change clothes first?" The Ninth Prince wanted to talk to Ye Ye about what happened yesterday, and asked Xiling Tianlei whether he chose to intervene or just watch.
It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Since the Ninth Prince dared to lock them up here, he must have a chance of winning. Xiling Tianlei chose the latter very unceremoniously.
"Someone, help Prince Lei bathe." The Ninth Prince did not make things difficult for Xiling Tianlei and gave him enough face. Xiling Tianlei finally regained some confidence.
Yesterday, he was badly beaten by the Ninth Uncle. In terms of status, he was even stronger than the Ninth Uncle, but he was suppressed by the Ninth Uncle and had no power to resist.
In the end, Xiling Tianlei could only comfort himself by saying, "When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."
After Xiling Tianlei left, the Ninth Uncle sent the guards away as well: "Young Master Ye, should we talk here or go somewhere else?"
As soon as he woke up, he saw Feng Qingchen. The Ninth Prince was in a good mood and his tone was inevitably a little polite, but Ye Ye took the Ninth Prince's politeness as an opportunity to bully.
"Talk? What does Ninth Prince want to talk about? What is there to talk about between us? Ninth Prince, weren't you very arrogant yesterday? Why did you think of talking to me today? Ninth Prince, isn't it too late for you to say this now?" Ye Ye thought that Ninth Prince didn't find out anything yesterday and didn't have enough confidence, so he came to negotiate today.
He was very angry, so of course he couldn't just let it go.
Hahahaha...the Ninth Prince just found it funny.
Only the powerful Lord Ye, who has both parents, could raise someone as ruthless as Ye Ye.
"Young Master Ye, do you think this is Yecheng or Nanling?" In Yecheng, Ye Ye is equivalent to the prince. In Tainanling, with the Su family as an in-law, no one would offend Ye Ye. Ye Ye is used to being spoiled and has no idea of his place, otherwise, he would not have humiliated Bu Jingyun like that at the beginning.
"Uncle Nine, what do you mean?" Ye Ye was not stupid, and the courage he had just gathered slowly faded away...
[Recently, people have been asking what the special meaning of Jiuzhou is. Let me explain: "Jiuzhou" and "Shenzhou" are both nicknames for China. Ancient Chinese divided the country into nine regions, the so-called "Jiuzhou". In ancient times, China was called "Chixian Shenzhou", and later "Shenzhou" was used as a nickname for China, Shenzhou Land. ]
