In the end, Feng Suzhen failed to go to the Princess Mansion to greet Tianxiang.

After talking with Li Zhaoting and Liu Changying, on the way to the princess mansion, Feng Suzhen was stopped by a handsome young man in merchant clothes. Because of that unique voice, Feng Suzhen didn't have any doubts, and let him lead her to a temporary house. At the door of the closed restaurant, I met someone who really wanted to see me.

"Concubine Ju." Feng Suzhen saluted calmly, as if she was the one who had been waiting for her for a long time.

After changing her palace attire, Concubine Chrysanthemum wore silk and satin that only rich businessmen's wives could afford, adding a touch of amiability. She smiled gently and said, "I hope my son-in-law will not blame me for delaying my son-in-law's meeting with the princess."

"Wei Chen dare not."

"Heh, son-in-law, come, sit, let's sit and chat. This is outside the palace, so there is no need to be too restrictive." Concubine Ju pointed to the mahogany chair in front of her, smiling softly.

Feng Suzhen waited for Concubine Ju to sit down before she sat down graciously, and the maidservant at the side offered a cup of hot tea, and then quietly retreated, leaving the entire inner room to the two of them.

"My son-in-law, this is the chrysanthemum tea I just brewed, would you like to try it?"

"I've always heard that the empress is excellent at making tea, and this chrysanthemum tea is even more extraordinary. I'm lucky enough to have a taste of it today, so I am flattered."

"Your son-in-law is joking. Now that you are outside the palace, you don't need to pay attention to these respects. It's better to be casual."

Feng Suzhen smiled and nodded, not caring much.

Concubine Ju has been in the harem for a long time, and has been with the emperor all year round. She has already perfected her patience and practice.She chatted softly about Tianxiang, the past when she was not in the palace, and the customs and customs of various places.After drinking chrysanthemum tea one after another, before the maid came in to serve, Concubine Ju stood up naturally and walked to the tea table, washed her hands and made tea.

Being served by the emperor's concubine, Feng Suzhen didn't take it seriously, instead she looked calm and sat on the chair, responding to Chrysanthemum's words one after another.

"... That's why I'm so envious of Princess Tianxiang. With the support of the emperor, she can go anywhere in the world." Concubine Ju put the cup by Feng Suzhen's hand and said with a smile.

"But Weichen is envious of the empress."

Concubine Ju thought that Feng Suzhen would praise her wife according to her own words, but the answer that was far from what she imagined made her stunned, and she couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"Although the empress can't help herself, she can get the love of the prince and the emperor. Now she has the little prince by her side. She must be the luckiest person in the world. And how to choose in the future, how to go, depends on the empress. Just a thought. May I ask how many people in this world can choose their own life path as they wish? Empress is one of them, how can I not envy you?"

After hearing what Feng Suzhen said, Concubine Ju sat back on the chair in silence.A pained expression slowly appeared on the face with exquisite makeup, as if there was no relief in his heart.

Feng Suzhen was not in a hurry, took a sip of the sweet chrysanthemum tea, her originally flat brows suddenly frowned, and looked at the tea in her hand again, thoughtfully.

The sky gradually became dark, the maid knocked on the door and came in to light the candles in the house, whispered the time in Concubine Ju's ear, and went out quietly again.

"My son-in-law, I can't make a decision yet. But I can cooperate with you to make the Yuxian Gang disappear forever in Dacheng Kingdom. I just ask you to help the prince go to Huizhou." The prince has already returned to Beijing, and the martial law along the way has been lifted, so Dongfang Hou will be escorted to leave Beijing in the near future, and she doesn't have much time left.

Feng Suzhen put down the cup, looked at Concubine Ju, sighed and shook her head in compassion: "The prince's matter is now a trivial matter, your matter is the big one."

"my business?"

"Is it your intention to poison the emperor, or the intention of the people behind you?"

"Poison?" Concubine Ju was taken aback, "How dare I poison the emperor? Son-in-law, you can't..." Halfway through speaking, Concubine Ju suddenly stopped, Concubine Ju thought of something, and her lips trembled.

"You were deceived." Feng Suzhen frowned, the anger in her eyes was clearly visible.

Concubine Ju looked at Feng Suzhen in a daze, and opened her red lips, as if silently begging for help.

"Who gave you this chrysanthemum? How long did you drink it for the emperor? How did the other party contact you? Did they ever tell you why they gave you this kind of chrysanthemum?" Feng Suzhen asked several times, and Concubine Ju's palm popped out. Khan, clutching the silk handkerchief tightly, pursed his lips and refused to answer.

Seeing that Concubine Ju was unwilling to speak, Feng Suzhen said to herself, "'Diyejia' is also known as poppy. Zhu Zhenheng, a famous doctor, once said that people nowadays often use millet husks to stop work when they suffer from exhaustion and cough; and those who expel dampness and heat, use it to stop astringency. Although the power to stop disease is urgent, killing people is like a sword, so it is advisable to avoid it deeply. A very small amount of this flower has been mixed into the chrysanthemum. Over time, it is easy to become addicted and harmful to the body. In severe cases, it will cause dyspnea and kill your life. .”

"They...they didn't say they would or would die..." Concubine Ju was dubious at first when she heard Zhuangyuan Lang say something mixed in it, but immediately believed it all, but what happened after she believed it?What she did was regicide!It's not much worse than Dongfanghou's crime of usurping the throne!And Dongfang Hou "woke up" halfway, and pleaded guilty to the emperor, but did not cause any substantial harm to the emperor, but what about her?How can I ask for the emperor's mercy after letting the emperor eat the poison?

Feng Suzhen stood up, looked condescendingly at Concubine Ju, and said sharply, "Aren't you telling the truth? If you are willing to tell the truth, I can still help you. If you are still obsessed, then don't blame me for not being ignorant." Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!"

The person in front of him was obviously not as tall and mighty as an ordinary man, and he had red lips and white teeth, but standing in front of him, he was like a mountain with no top to be seen, overwhelming him, and he didn't even dare to have the slightest thought of resistance.

Concubine Ju was shocked, and hurriedly said: "He, they, they... Hey, this matter is a long story, don't be impatient, son-in-law, listen to me slowly."

As a person who grew up with missions, Concubine Ju is very lucky.She was born and raised in Dacheng country, but she didn't know her biological parents. She was trained by an organization pretending to be a tea farmer, and was going to be sent to the palace.Later she found out that the organization she belonged to was just a hidden stake placed by Liju in Dacheng Kingdom. The beauties who were sent to the palace were favored by her, so she was not needed, so she was allowed to contact the prince and make a private appointment. lifelong.And after the "parents" who raised her passed away, no one in the organization paid any attention to her. If she hadn't been fettered by the mission deeply implanted in her mind since she was a child, she could have lived a life of envying the world.

"You mean, Liju started to send people to contact you? They failed to assassinate the crown prince, and instead stretched out their poisonous hands to the emperor?" Feng Suzhen asked emphatically, not caring about Concubine Ju's past.

Concubine Ju also hated herself for not being able to get away and be at ease, but the task like a branding mark reminded herself all the time, if she hadn't been sincere to Dongfang Hou, she might have done even more ruthlessly.

"I don't know much about the assassination of the prince. Although the prince and I have found Jianghu assassins to assassinate the prince, it was for the prince at that time. I think the son-in-law knows it well, so I don't want to hide it. Liju had a direct relationship, and later the national teacher came to find me, and I realized that they were also arranged by Liju." Concubine Ju saw that the anger in Feng Suzhen's eyes was getting bigger and bigger, and hurriedly said, "But the national teacher I have not participated in the bad things that the master did, except for the prince's affairs, I really have not participated in any of them!"

"This 'Diyaka' was given to you by the national teacher?"

"It's him and it's not him..." Concubine Ju paused for a moment, with a puzzled expression on her face, "Actually, I'm not sure if it's the national teacher, because I have a feeling that there seems to be nothing left of Liju in Dacheng Kingdom. Many, the power of the Yuxian gang of the national teacher is also declining day by day, it seems that there is a new force... No, it should be two new forces that are slowly rising, and the chrysanthemum with added ingredients is given to me by the hand of the national teacher , is one of them."

Feng Suzhen somewhat lamented Concubine Ju's sensitivity.The so-called two new forces, one of them is her "killer gate", watching every move of the Yuxian gang, and destroying them one by one when they find the right time. The national teacher still doesn't know who is against him again, so Seeing that no one is happy to get angry in a hurry.

And another new force...

"If you want to save your life and watch the little prince grow up, then do as I say."

"My only wish now is that the lord is well, the little prince is well, and I will do whatever you say!" Concubine Ju stood up when she heard this, with an excited expression on her face, she was about to kneel down on this life-saving Bodhisattva in front of it.

Feng Suzhen shook her head lightly, took half a step back, and kept a suitable distance from it, before ordering in a low voice and slowly.

"It's not difficult, then, about the prince..."

"If you do what I say, I promise to do what you want."

"Thank you, thank you son-in-law." Concubine Ju received the assurance, her eyes turned red, and the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Feng Suzhen still frowned, and said to Concubine Ju: "I can save you once, but I may not be able to save you a second time. If you can't cut off your obsession, you can't stay by the emperor's side and assist the prince with peace of mind. Next time, I will save you." I am afraid that we will really be separated from the little prince forever."

How could Concubine Ju not know?It's just that it's easy to say, but it's involuntary to do it.

Without waiting for Concubine Ju to answer, Feng Suzhen saw that it was too late, she went to find Tianxiang but her door was closed, she thought it would be better to go back to the mansion to instruct the official document, and said: "This is all I have said, the empress can do it herself." After speaking, she turned and left.

The little eunuchs and maids guarding the door saw that the door was opened but the master did not speak, so they blocked the door to prevent Feng Suzhen from leaving.

Feng Suzhen first raised her brows in surprise, and then said with a smile: "If I don't know if this minister fails to comply with your mother's wishes, how is your mother going to deal with this minister?"

Concubine Ju remembered that she was afraid that Feng Shaomin would not rescue Dongfanghou, so she gave orders to her own people not to let the people inside go away, and said with an embarrassed smile: "What did the son-in-law say, how dare I be disrespectful to the son-in-law? You dog slaves, why don't you let the son-in-law go quickly?"

Smiling softly, Feng Suzhen didn't say anything, but gave Concubine Ju a meaningful look, which made Concubine Ju inexplicably cold, and never dared to think too much in front of Feng Suzhen.

Some people are born to be subdued. Without saying a word or making an expression, they can suppress people so that they have no power to fight back, and they are willing to be conquered.

Apart from the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Period, Concubine Ju has only seen a young man who always has a warm smile in front of her.
