The Empire and the Kingdom

In order to prolong the life of Concubine Xian, Princess Yongning consumed a lot of internal energy, so she must practice for a longer time to replenish her internal energy.Fortunately, she has been staying in Zhiqiong Palace, she has nothing to do except take care of Concubine Xian, she has a lot of time.

Xiao Changyu nodded, "Although this method is helpless, it has fulfilled you." She raised her hand and handed the long sword in her hand to Princess Yongning, "This sword is for you. Whether the academy accepts you or not, since I taught you You, always have to fulfill your duties as a teacher."

Princess Yongning took the long sword with both hands and carefully looked at the weapon given by the master.Xiao Changyu taught her swordsmanship, just simple pointers, and left a sword manual.Now that she finally has her own weapon, her joy is beyond words.She drew out her long sword, and saw two ancient characters engraved on the body of the sword - Song Ling.

"Songling Sword?"

Xiao Changyu nodded with a smile. "Although this sword is not as overbearing as those swords in the master courtyard, it has a history of a hundred years and is suitable for a quiet and steady child like you."

"Thank you, Master!" Princess Yongning couldn't put it down holding the sword.

"Okay, it's getting late, Jingxun, do you mind letting me meet Lingtang?"

Princess Yongning was taken aback, "Master, do you want to see my mother and concubine?"

Xiao Changyu nodded.

Princess Yongning was a little embarrassed, it was late at night, and Concubine Xian had already fallen asleep, but it was rare for Master to make a request, and she didn't want to refuse it.At this moment, Concubine Xian's personal princess, Linglan, knocked on the door and came in, "Princess, Your Majesty is awake, and I am calling you."

Upon hearing this, Princess Yongning hurriedly brought Xiao Changyu to the main hall.As soon as you enter the main hall, there is a strong smell of medicine.Several people entered the inner room, and the woman on the bed had already sat up, leaning on the soft pillow.The woman described it as emaciated, and at first glance it was the result of long-term suffering from illness. Her face was sallow and she had completely lost the vitality of her life.Just looking at those facial features, she should be a rare beauty when she is healthy.

"Mother Concubine, let me introduce someone..." Princess Yongning came over and said softly.

In fact, as soon as several people came in, Concubine Xian's eyes fell on the face of the only stranger, "His Majesty the Emperor Yuan!" Her voice was hoarse, and she was a little excited when she said these words, and she began to cough.

Xiao Changyu frowned and watched for a long time, and finally recognized who this haggard woman was. "Xing Kingdom and Princess Tai?"

Concubine Xian nodded, "It's me."

Princess Yongning was a little confused, she looked at her mother, then at her master, "You... know each other?"

Concubine Xian struggled to speak, Xiao Changyu said: "Many years ago when I was the emperor, I met Lingtang when I was an envoy to Xing Kingdom."

Nearly 20 years have passed in a flash, and it is extremely rare to meet again, even if the two met once only once, but now they meet in a foreign country.

Concubine Xian didn't understand why Xiao Changyu was here, so Princess Yongning told her about Xiao Changyu secretly teaching her martial arts over the years.Concubine Xian was grateful to Xiao Changyu and kept on thanking her.

"Concubine Xian, you don't have to be polite. Jing Xun is also destined to be with me. Besides, I didn't teach her much. Her achievements today are the result of her own hard work." She stretched out her hand, "Concubine Xian, can you let me see?" What's your pulse?"

Concubine Xian stretched out her hand very cooperatively, Xiao Changyu probed Concubine Xian's inner breath, and found that there was also a blockage, but it was different from Xue Ai's blockage.She withdrew her hand, turned her head and asked Princess Yongning, "How did you save people?"

Princess Yongning knew what Xiao Changyu meant, "It was very difficult at the beginning, as soon as my internal force entered the body of the concubine, it would be blocked. I tried many times, and then divided the internal force into many times, and only input a little each time. It takes a lot of time and energy to wait for the concubine's body to absorb it before inputting it, but it's finally effective."

Xiao Changyu nodded, "Jingxun, there are some things I want to say to Concubine Xian alone."

Princess Yongning was taken aback, she looked at Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian nodded, "Go and ask Linglan to bring a bowl of porridge, I'm hungry."

Princess Yongning went out, Concubine Xian looked at Xiao Changyu, "Does Emperor Yuan want to ask me why I am sick?"

Xiao Changyu smiled lightly, "I am no longer the emperor, and now more people call me Master Xiao."

Concubine Xian immediately changed her words, "Master Xiao, thank you for teaching Yongning martial arts. I have dragged this useless body for so many years, and I just can't bear Yongning." She sighed, "Why do I get sick? In fact, I am not very Clear, but I'm sure I'm not sick."

Xiao Changyu raised his brows slightly, "So it's...poisoned?"

Concubine Xian shook her head, "I don't know, and I have no evidence. When I was pregnant, everything was fine. I don't know why I got sick later, the child died, and my body was completely destroyed. Later they said yes It was a problem with Lu Chongrong who was with me often, but the imperial doctors only said that I was sick, so I just took it as sick. I never told Yongning about these things, I was afraid that she would get hurt if she tried to find out what happened back then. she."

Concubine Xian is just a very weak woman. She has no ambitions and is only loyal to her love.She knew that the emperor's favor would not last long, but she was not willing to desecrate it.

In this turbulent harem, she is a congenial princess, without the help of her natal family, and without strong wrists, she just wants to protect her daughter to live in safety.

What was the truth back then?What can I do if I know?That dead son, those wasted years, those lost emotions will never come back.She is not persistent, she just hopes to live every day in the future.

"I understand." Although Xiao Changyu is an emperor, he also knows the hardships involved. "Jingsu is a student of my academy. If you have trouble, you can ask Jingxun to ask her for help. She will definitely help."

Concubine Xian smiled, "I heard Yongning talk about Yun Yi, she is capable, I will let Yongning get closer to her." For her who has always been helpless, it is good to have someone to help Yes, even if it's just a princess.

When Xiao Changyu came out, Ling Lan immediately brought in a bowl of porridge.Princess Yongning stayed at the door, "Master, are you asking about my concubine's illness?"

"Do you have doubts?" Xiao Changyu walked down the steps.

Princess Yongning followed Xiao Changyu, "Concubine Mother is not sick at all, is she?"

Xiao Changyu stopped suddenly, turned around, "Jingxun, I don't know much about medicine, and I have told you about the condition of Concubine Xian after years of coming to the imperial physician. If you still have doubts, I will invite the doctor Xuecan from the academy to come over , as long as the concubine Xian can be saved, she will be cured. But at the moment, you should stay still. If things are really as you suspect, if you act without authorization, you will bring death to both mother and daughter."

Princess Yongning was a little bit unwilling, but she still nodded. "I listen to Master."

"Look for Jingsu, she will help you." Xiao Changyu looked up at the sky, "I should go."

"Master." Princess Yongning's words contained countless reluctance and attachment.

Xiao Changyu turned around and patted Princess Yongning's head, "I will come to see you when I have a chance. By the way, you can also write to me if you need me. Jingsu knows how to send the letter back to the academy. Take good care of her." Concubine Xian, everything will be fine."

Princess Yongning flattened her mouth, twitched her nose slightly, and said with a sob, "Take care, Master, this disciple will miss you."

Xiao Changyu waved his hand, he had already climbed the palace wall, and disappeared into the dark night in a blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, Qiao Zhi appeared in front of everyone with a pair of big dark circles under her eyes.

"Zhier, what's wrong with you? Didn't sleep last night?" Feng Jingsu laughed.

"That's right. Master came back in the middle of the night last night, so I asked him to tell me about his apprentices, and then I couldn't sleep. Look at my dark circles, they are so dark." Qiao Zhi pointed at her black eyes. Show Feng Jingsu the eye circles.

Xiao Changyu also left the room and saw the dark circles under his apprentice's eyes, "After breakfast, go back to your room and go to sleep, girls don't stay up late."

"Oh." Qiao Zhi came over and hugged Xiao Changyu's arm coquettishly, "Master, I want to see my senior sister."

Xiao Changyu shook his head, "It's useless to beg me, there is the person you should beg." She pointed at Feng Jingsu as she spoke.

Qiao Zhi immediately shook off Xiao Changyu and came to hug Feng Jingsu's arm, "Senior Sister Jingsu, take me into the palace to see Senior Sister."

Feng Jingsu fumbled in her bosom, took out a palace waist card and stuffed it into Qiao Zhi's bosom, "Go by yourself, I'll let Yushu lead you the way."

Qiao Zhi couldn't believe it, "Is it really possible?"

Feng Jingsu asked back, "You don't want to go?"

"Go, go." Qiao Zhi hurriedly went to look for Yu Shu with her waist badge.

Taking advantage of the time before breakfast, Xiao Changyu talked about the situation last night, "Concubine Xian's illness is definitely something strange, and I have another thing in mind, your wife's body can't accept internal force, and Concubine Xian The situation is similar, but not exactly the same, you'd better pay more attention. I will ask the head of the hospital to send the blood silkworm to take a look as soon as possible, but she is not easy to invite, you need to prepare more rare medicinal materials."

These words made Feng Jingsu's heart fluctuate, but as long as the blood silkworm is willing to come, she is still at ease.She saw with her own eyes that the blood silkworm gave the academy housekeeper a grand speech to treat his illness.

Sheng Ci's frail body has survived for so many years.She was critically ill several times, and even her master was going to use internal force to freeze the speech and wait for a miracle, but the blood silkworm insisted on saving her.

Because of the grand speech, blood silkworms rarely come out of Feiyejin.Especially in every winter, it is impossible for the Heavenly King Lao Tzu to let the blood silkworm go down the mountain.It seems that the blood silkworms will not come here until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom at the earliest.

"Thank you, Master Xiao."

"Concubine Xian's mother and daughter are helpless in the palace, and now Jing Xun has become my apprentice again, do you know what to do?"

Feng Jingsu smiled, "I will do my best to take care of Concubine Xian and Second Sister."

Xiao Changyu patted Feng Jingsu on the shoulder with satisfaction, "You are much more reliable than your master." Jiang Feng pitied that man, and only the head of the courtyard could hold him down.

Something happened here, Xiao Changyu didn't wait too long, and quickly left Yunguo with Qiao Zhi.

Feng Jingsu originally did not intend to bring the attack to the surface. She had her concerns. Xue Ai, Guan Xuejing and even Feng Qianzi were involved in this incident. Let people know that the few of them are helping each other, which is likely to arouse suspicion.A prime minister, a Zhongshu Ling, and An Guogong, all of them are humerus ministers in the court, and they are too conspicuous to surround Feng Jingsu.

Xue Ai is still in the process of self-cultivation, but as her body gets better and better, she is unwilling to just lie on the bed, and Feng Jingsu is very concerned about what Xiao Changyu said before leaving, and does not allow Xue Ai to worry.

At night, Xue Ai heard that Feng Jingsu was taking a bath in the next room, so she sneaked in.Feng Jingsu does not allow others to help her bath, this is a habit she developed in the academy.When she heard the door knock, she was ready to attack at any time.As a result, when she heard those footsteps, she sat in the barrel and smiled.

Like a cunning little fox, Xue Ai approached the screen quietly, and then poked his head out secretly, wanting to see the beauty in the bath.As a result, just as she poked her head out, she felt her body lighten up, and with a "plop", her body had already fallen into the wooden barrel.

It is a bit crowded to put two people in a wooden barrel.

Xue Ai wiped off the water from his face, staring at the boundless spring in front of him, his eyes widened.

Beauty, what a beauty!The whole body is so beautiful!

Feng Jingsu didn't mind showing it to Xue Ai. She laughed and took off Xue Ai's drenched clothes. "Why did you come to peek? You are getting dishonest."

Xue Ai blushed, but honestly asked Feng Jingsu to take off her clothes. "Sister Su, can we take a bath together in the future?"

Feng Jingsu rested one arm on the edge of the barrel, "Why didn't I know you were so horny?"

"Does he like you?" Xue Ai's little hands teased dishonestly, making Feng Jingsu a little bit uncontrollable.

"Do you want to make out here?" She pressed Xue Ai to the edge of the barrel, and suddenly thought it was a good idea.

Apparently Xue Ai also thought the idea was good, bit her lip and said nothing, but those big eyes were trying to seduce Feng Jingsu.

There was constant water splashing in the room, and Xue Ai made a sound like a kitten, weak but alluring.Feng Jingsu really thinks that Xue Ai is the one she likes the most, so she doesn't care what she thinks about her.

Xiaozhu Xiaoduo walked to the door with hot water, heard the voice inside, and looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Do you still need to add hot water?" Xiaozhu asked.

"No need." Xiaoduo blushed, "It's already hot enough inside."

"You understand very well." Xiao Zhu bumped her with her arm.

"Don't talk nonsense, go quickly, don't let the princess find out." Xiaoduo turned and left.

Xue Ai's nose was covered with sweat, and now she was already tired and paralyzed in Feng Jingsu's arms, allowing Feng Jingsu to help her clean up.

"The water is getting cold, be careful of getting worse." Feng Jingsu carried Xue Ai out of the barrel, and directly used internal force to evaporate the water on the two of them as soon as possible.

"It's not that you bully others!" Xue Ai pouted.

"It's not you who seduced him!" Feng Jingsu imitated her tone and said.

Xue Ai smiled after hearing this, "This shows that Sister Su likes me."

"Yes," Feng Jingsu took the blanket and wrapped Xue Ai up, and rubbed his forehead against her forehead, "I like you the most."

Back in the room, the two were lying on the bed. Originally, Feng Jingsu didn't want to toss about Xue Ai's recovery, but she couldn't stand Xue Ai's seduction, so she tossed and tossed until midnight.Xue Ai Mingming was exhausted and paralyzed, but he still cooperated hard, making Feng Jingsu unable to stop even if he wanted to.

"You little guy, are you really a vixen?" Feng Jingsu kissed her forehead and hugged her exhausted.

Xue Ai's smile was weak, but she was really addicted to bed affairs, and she knew Feng Jingsu liked it too. "Sister Su, let me do something tomorrow, okay? I'm really fine."

Feng Jingsu patted her forehead, "Let's talk about it when you can get out of bed tomorrow."

Xue Ai was hijacked, Feng Jingsu and Guan Xuejing's rescue was suppressed by all forces, and not much was known to the outside world.In addition, Pan knows that Xue Ai and Feng Jingsu are together, so she is also very happy.Xue Ying's wedding is getting closer and closer, and she has been thinking about adding something to Xue Ying as a dowry all day long. Wang Shi is also busy with her.

Years later, Mrs. Wang has not been idle. First, she begged Xue Xiang to bring Xue Zhi back but failed. Then she went to her mother's house to beg her father and brother for help.The fact that Xue Zhi poisoned Feng Jingsu was silent, and the Wang family didn't know about it at all. After hearing what Wang said, the Wang family was so frightened that they quickly persuaded Wang to stop thinking about it.It is the best result to keep Xue Zhi's life. If Princess Yunyi knows that Xue Zhi was taken back to the mansion, the whole Xue family will be implicated if this incident arises.

Wang understands that no one can count on her now, she can only save Xue Zhi by herself.

Xue Zhi stayed in Cixin Nunnery until the end of the first lunar month, when she was picked up by Mrs. Wang.The abbot didn't make things difficult, and Wang took the initiative to give a large sum of sesame oil money for fear of the abbot's denunciation.

"Mother, isn't this the way home?" Xue Zhi hurriedly asked, seeing that the scenery outside the carriage was wrong.

Mrs. Wang took Xue Zhi's hand that was swollen and rough from the cold, "Zhi'er, mother picked you up secretly, so you can't go home now. But don't worry, mother has already found a house for you. They are all ready-made. You should live there for a while, so that your father's anger will subside. When Princess Yunyi forgets about it, mother will take you home. Zhi'er, you must be obedient, you know? Don't go out Run around, or you will be discovered by others, and you will go back to being an aunt again."

After going through so much, Xue Zhi was already afraid.She can do whatever she wants now, just don't go back to the nunnery. "Mom, I will listen to you."

Seeing that her daughter is sensible, Wang is finally relieved. This daughter is the flesh that fell from her body, and anyone who doesn't love her will love her.

The news of Xue Zhi's departure from Cixin Nunnery quickly reached Feng Jingsu's ears, and she asked Xue Ai what to do?

Xue Ai asked carefully: "Sister Su, do you really hate my second sister?"
