600 transaction, don't try to guess what a man is thinking
Feng Qingchen was escorted into the palace by the Imperial Guards!
But within just one morning, the news spread like wildfire, and with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, everyone knew what they should and shouldn't know.
Wang Jinling tapped lightly on the table, his eyes as clear as glass closed. No one knew what he was thinking, but his tightly pursed lips slightly revealed his thoughts.
He has been busy recently with sorting out the Wang family's internal affairs and cooperating with the Ninth Prince, so he has paid less attention to Feng Qingchen's affairs. However, he did not expect that his negligence at this moment would give someone an opportunity to take advantage of him.
He used ruthless means to seize the power of the Wang family in order to protect Qingchen and himself, but he neglected Qingchen because of the power of the Wang family.
What am I doing?
Wang Jinling asked himself!
If the Duke is killed, unless he is a royal relative, he will be dead. The people in the Duke's Mansion will not let it go. If someone dies, even if it is not Feng Qingchen's fault, it is Feng Qingchen's fault. The Emperor will not let go of this opportunity, an opportunity to force the Ninth Uncle to bow his head.
The love of the powerful is like honey but also like poison. It brings you supreme dignity but also great danger.
Cui Haoting breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news. Today was the three-day appointment between Feng Qingchen and him. Now that Feng Qingchen had been arrested, he didn't have to rush to give Feng Qingchen an answer.
After all, to accept Feng Qingchen's incredible medical method, one needs not only trust but also great courage. Having lived for so many years and often struggling on the verge of death, he actually doesn't want to die, and is even more afraid of the feeling of death coming.
Yun Xiao had originally thought of using this incident as an excuse to go to the West District courtyard and tell Feng Qingchen his handling methods and follow-up arrangements, but he didn't expect that before he could even go out, he heard the news. He was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with coldness.
"It looks like Feng Qingchen has fallen into someone's trap. I hope she can figure it out. Otherwise, my help won't count, and I'll end up getting into trouble."
Yun Xiao secretly cursed his bad luck. He hadn't encountered such a ridiculous thing in many years, but the facts were right in front of him and he had no choice but to admit it. Not only Feng Qingchen, but he was also fooled.
"Go, find the two doctors who treated the Duke yesterday, and also find a few people who were present yesterday." Regardless of whether it would be useful or not, he prepared the witnesses and material evidence first.
Yesterday's incident caused a big stir, and many people knew about it. Of course, there were also many people who would use it to make a fuss, but none of this had anything to do with him. He didn't care who did it. He only knew that he was blamed for this incident. If he didn't find out the truth, not only would Feng Qingchen be angry with him, but he would also look down on himself. He was responsible for handling the follow-up of this matter.
Knowing that he had interfered in this matter, he still dared to take action, which meant he was making an enemy of the Yun family and Yun City!
It was such a cold day, and walking for several hours in the cold wind and light snow was unbearable for even grown men, not to mention women. The guards' noses were frozen red, their boots were wet, and their clothes were also wet by the snowflakes. They were shivering with cold and secretly cursing their bad luck. They didn't knock Feng Qingchen down, but they knocked themselves down instead.
Feng Qingchen didn't know what she was wearing. Her clothes looked very thin, but she didn't seem cold at all. The occasional snowflakes would not stick to her clothes, and her clothes were still dry.
The same was true of the boots on her feet. Not only did they make no sound when she walked, they were also very dry. Her already beautiful face was even brighter at this moment. Her rosy cheeks were like an apple, making people want to take a bite. Coupled with her bright and confident eyes, she not only did not look disheveled at all, but was instead radiant and beautiful.
Noticing the scrutiny of the guards, Feng Qingchen sneered and became more calm.
Feng Qingchen was extremely grateful that she had changed her clothes last night, otherwise these guards would have rushed in early in the morning and taken her away like tigers and wolves. They would not have given her time to change clothes, and would have made her walk in the cold wind wearing only a single layer of clothes. By then, she would have been half dead even if she didn't die.
"Didn't you say you wanted to catch Feng Qingchen off guard and give her a small punishment? Why doesn't Feng Qingchen look like she's being guarded by the Imperial Guards? Instead, she looks like she's being protected by them. Where are the shackles and chains?" Xiling Tianlei, Ye Ye, and Nanling Jinfan were sitting in a teahouse that Feng Qingchen had to pass by. They wanted to admire Feng Qingchen's humble attitude, but they didn't expect...
Feng Qingchen was as proud as ever, and the phoenix hairpin on her hair was even more eye-catching, impossible to ignore.
"Feng Qingchen is not that easy to deal with. You and I have suffered a lot at her hands. How can these guards be her match?" There are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends. Before, Nanling Jinfan had severely humiliated Xiling Tianlei at the Dongling banquet, but the two of them came together again because of interests.
"So what if he's difficult to deal with? God is really helping me this time. Once the Duke dies, Feng Qingchen will have no way to defend herself. The Ninth Prince is already in prison, so she can't help him even if she wants to." Ye Ye played with the cup in his hand with a sinister look on his face.
The wound on Su Wan's face had not healed yet, so how could he be happy?
Xiling Tianlei didn't think so: "Don't forget, there is still Wang Jinling, the patriarch of the Wang family. The Wang family has been very active recently. Wang Jinling has more power than ever before, and is more powerful than any other patriarch of the Wang family. If he does his best to protect Feng Qingchen's life, there will be absolutely no problem."
"Don't think too highly of the Wang family. Wang Jinling is too radical, and the power in his hands has not been consolidated. The Wang family is constantly in internal strife. Although Wang Jinling is now the one who suppresses Xifeng, as long as we make a move secretly, Wang Jinling will be unable to take care of himself." Nanling Jinfan silently calculated that if Wang Jinling was not the head of the family, then whether their branch could be recognized by the Wang family. If so, he would not mind helping another branch of the Wang family to take the power.
As long as he could get the Wang Family Ancestral Hall to recognize the existence of his branch, he could ascend to the throne of Emperor Nanling without bloodshed, and even his father would have to abdicate and give the throne to him.
"You want to interfere in the Wang family's affairs, aren't you afraid of backlash from the Wang family?" The Wang family is an old-fashioned family. No matter how they fight among themselves, when outsiders interfere, they will unite against the outside world. This is the reason why the Wang family has been prosperous.
"Xiao Wang is also a member of the Wang family. How can this be called interfering in the affairs of the Wang family? Xiao Wang just thinks that Wang Jinling, the head of the family, is too young. The elders of the Wang family are more suitable to be the helmsman of the Wang family."
Nanling Jinfan's words were high-sounding, but they still couldn't hide his ambition. Seeing Xiling Tianlei was a little hesitant, Nanling Jinfan threw out another bait: "Prince Lei, if this matter is resolved, we may have more help when we fight against Xuanxiao Palace. I remember that the Wang family and Xuanxiao Palace also have some grievances. If those elders take over the power of the Wang family, it seems that it will not be difficult to persuade them to take action against Xuanxiao Palace."
What he meant was that he agreed to join forces with Xiling Tianlei to deal with Xuanxiao Palace, but this required that the Wang family be brought along. This was his condition.
What a plan to kill two birds with one stone. How could Xiling Tianlei not know what Nanling Jinfan wanted? Xiling Tianlei looked at Nanling Jinfan with a smile: "Third Prince, don't you think you are asking for too much?"
In other words, you are not worth the price!
He helped Nanling Jinfan solve the Wang family's problems and gave him half of Xuanxiao Palace's wealth. Did he really think that Xiling Tianlei was an idiot and let Nanling Jinfan tease him...
