The Empire and the Kingdom

Hate Xue Zhi or not, frankly speaking, Feng Jingsu didn't care about Xue Zhi at all.It's just a stupid person doing a stupid thing, Feng Jingsu shook her head, "She's not worth it."

"Can you let her live?" Xue Ai probed.

"Hmm..." Feng Jingsu rubbed her chin, "If you beg me..."

"Please." Xue Ai immediately clasped his hands together and begged in a low voice.She didn't have the slightest psychological burden to do such a thing as begging Feng Jingsu.

Feng Jingsu grabbed her and hugged her, "Since you've pleaded for her, I'll let her go." Anyway, she didn't intend to take care of Xue Zhi, who was insignificant. "But you don't have to worry about what happens to her in the future." Feng Jingsu felt that Xue Zhi would not learn from this, and would definitely continue to die.

"I know." Xue Ai was just a little guilty of plotting against Xue Zhi last time, and she was not a kind person.

In Fengde Palace, after learning that the attempt to kill Feng Jingsu had failed, the queen had been on guard all the time, waiting for Feng Jingsu's revenge. However, more than ten days had passed, and both the front court and the harem were quiet, which made the queen more and more worried. .

"Your Majesty, maybe Princess Yunyi didn't find you at all, so don't worry too much." Cai He looked at the Queen with a sad face, and she looked much older.

"Impossible. Those people are all dead, and there are many survivors. It is impossible not to confess the chief envoy. If you search along this line, how can you not find me?" The queen does not dare to underestimate Feng Jingsu now.

"However, I heard from people outside that Princess Yunyi didn't investigate that inn at all. Maybe Princess Yunyi thinks that the murderer went after Miss Xue San?" Caihe took the tonic and sent it to the Queen, "Madam, Don't think too much about Princess Yunyi."

"Even so, who is the one who wants to kill Xue Ai? Isn't it just Bengong?" The queen smiled wryly and shook her head.

"That's not necessarily the case, for example, Miss Xue." Cai He's mind is very clear. She has been with the queen for so many years, and she has learned very well about using strength to fight and killing with a knife.

The queen stopped the hand that was drinking the tonic, looked at Cai He, "You mean..."

Cai He already knew what the Queen meant, and nodded with a smile.

The queen lowered her head and continued to drink the tonic, "I am old, and there are some things that young people should do."

Cai He retreated silently. From the beginning to the end, the master and servant did not say what they were going to do, but a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife had already been completed.

Because the wedding was approaching, the palace also began to send things to the Xiangfu.On this day, Caihe, as the maid in charge of Fengde Palace, brought the maids and eunuchs to deliver things to Xue Ying.The cloth, jewelry, etc. that the queen rewarded were all from the daughter's home, so Pan and Xue Ying hurriedly thanked her.

Before leaving, Cai He said with a smile: "Miss Xue, the Empress has a few words in her heart that I want my slaves to convey to Miss." She looked at Pan who was standing aside.

When Pan heard this, she hurried away, Xue Ying said: "What orders does the Empress have, please tell me, Auntie."

Cai He sighed, "Your Majesty has been having nightmares lately, dreaming that the late prince is crying like your Majesty. The eldest lady also knows that the crown prince liked your third lady before he was alive. After the accident, the crown prince accompanied the prince and left. I thought this would be enough, but the prince was reluctant to part with your third young lady, and asked her to marry her every night in her dream, and now her spirit is getting worse day by day, and her health is not good, alas!" Cai He saw Xue Yingruo. He looked like he was thinking, and continued, "To be honest, some people said that the prince fell into dreams every night because the empress had too much contact with your family. If the empress wants to sleep well, it is best not to contact your family. But the eldest lady will Being the empress's own daughter-in-law, how can there be no contact? The empress almost wanted to break up this marriage. Miss, the door of the palace has always been difficult to enter. If the lady wants to win the favor of the empress, she should also find a way to make it easier for her. The empress is the one who relieves her worries."

Cai He left, leaving Xue Ying feeling uneasy for a long time.Did Cai He say this to ask her to kill Xue Ai?If she were to frame Xue Ai and bully Xue Ai, she wouldn't have the slightest obstacle in her heart, but if she wanted to kill Xue Ai, how could she, a young lady, dare to kill someone?Or kill his own sister.

Seeing Xue Ying walking back distractedly, Mrs. Pan asked, "Ying'er, what did Aunt Caihe tell you?"

Xue Ying looked up at Mrs. Pan, hesitated for a while, and then said what Caihe meant.

Pan Shi was also terrified. "So the empress still wants Aier to be buried with the prince?"

Xue Ying nodded. "Mom, I'm a little scared."

Pan hugged Xue Ying, "Don't be afraid, mother will help you find a solution for this matter."

Xue Ying broke free from Pan's embrace, "Mother, do you really want to..."

Pan's head was lowered, "What else should I do? Mother is not all because of you."

Xue Ying shook her head, "Mother, I don't want you to do this. I hate Sanmei, but I don't want you to be charged with murder because of me. That's a capital crime!"

Pan patted Xue Ying on the shoulder, "In short, you don't need to worry about this matter, just be your newlywed mother."

Xue Ying also said that Mrs. Pan had already waved her hand to let her go down first.Pan's idea is very simple, Xue Ai should not have existed in the first place, and should have died with his son long ago.Xue Ai has lived for so many years, especially in the past two years, causing the family to be in chaos, and everything is more or less related to Xue Ai.Now it is the queen who wants Xue Ai's life, not herself, so if Xue Ai dies, even if Xiang Xue pursues it, she can still push it on the queen's head.

Because Guan Xuejing gave her life to help, Feng Jingsu gave her a big gift.Guan Xuejing was quite embarrassed, so she came to the defense mansion to express her thanks. "Princess, I have long said that I am loyal to you. We are from the same family. I should help you both in public and in private. Why are you so polite?"

Feng Jingsu looked at her, "If you feel embarrassed to accept a gift, send that gift to Feng's house, lest Xiao Ai is still choosing a thank you gift for Miss Feng."

As soon as Guan Xuejing heard this, she immediately ran to Feng's house and took Feng Qianzi to the garrison mansion.Feng Qianzi also wanted to visit Xue Ai these few days, but Guan Xuejing said that it was safe to stay at home because of the unknown situation. Before, because of Zhenniang's incident, Feng's family didn't allow her to go out casually. If Guan Xuejing wasn't here today, Feng Qianzi can't come out yet.

"Sister Feng!" Xue Ai had just been allowed to get out of bed, and when she saw Feng Qianzi approaching, she rushed over.Feng Qianzi hugged Xue Ai, the two were very close.The two women on the other side were somewhat pantothenic, seeing that Xue Ai and Feng Qianzi ignored them at all, Feng Jingsu and Guan Xuejing had no choice but to go out to the study to chat.

"There are a lot of happy events in the capital recently, and many things have been covered up by these happy events." Guan Xuejing drank a cup of tea, "My father said that the atmosphere in the capital city is a bit strange recently, but he can't tell what is strange, just the feeling There is going to be an accident. You warned me not to run around and cause trouble early this morning." Guan Xuejing was dissatisfied, why did she just run around?Every place I run has a purpose, okay?

"Your eldest sister is about to get married, and you don't want to stay at home to accompany her?" It was originally planned that Guan Xuebing would marry into the third prince's mansion one month after Princess Shaoyang Jiang Yiwei got married.

"I don't need to accompany her. The second sister and Aunt Luo are all accompanying her, and my mother, Sister Zhang Luo's dowry and third brother's betrothal gift are too busy to touch the ground, and they always feel that I am in the way. I might as well come out." " Guan Xuejing was a little bit aggrieved when she said this, her mother thought she was in the way?

"If you have time, go to the military camp outside the city and pick a group of good people to transfer in, so that I dare to leave Xiaoai to do more things." Feng Jingsu has been afraid to leave the garrison mansion recently, for fear that the queen will not give up, and then send people come over.However, before Xiao Changyu left, he wandered around the capital, saying that there would no longer be masters like Youhunmen near the capital, so Xue Ai's safety could still be guaranteed as long as there were more people.

"It's simple." Guan Xuejing ran away after hearing this.When Feng Qianzi was about to leave, she had already returned, "All the people on this list can be transferred here." She took a copy of the list on Feng Jingsu's desk.

After Guan Xuejing and Feng Qianzi left, Feng Jingsu went to Xue Ai with the list, and Xue Ai looked at the list of about a hundred people, "In the list of the garrison, these people are at the rank of centurion There is this person," she pointed to a man named Li Changqing, "he is the commander-in-chief."

Feng Jingsu patted her head, this little head was full of lists, much faster than checking the lists by herself.She handed over the list to Yushu, and asked the two sisters, Yushu and Yuyan, to transfer people outside the city.

"Sister Su, did you call these people in to protect the defense mansion?" Seeing Feng Jingsu nodding, her eyes blinked, "Do you have something to leave?"

"I want to go back to the palace to see the queen's reaction, and I also want to see the second sister."

Xue Ai was quite embarrassed, "It's all because of me that you dare not leave here. In fact, I can go home."

"Going home is the same as staying here. The defense around your yard is not as good as here." Feng Jingsu really didn't have any hope for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xue Ai stopped talking, she climbed onto Feng Jingsu, and said coquettishly, "Of course it's Sister Su who cares about me the most."

"Again!" Feng Jingsu stroked Xue Ai's waist, "Is your waist no longer sore?"

"Bad guy, don't touch it!" Xue Ai's back was sore, Feng Jingsu's touch made her fall on Feng Jingsu's body, and she couldn't get up.

That night, Yushu led a hundred people into the defense mansion.Feng Jingsu quickly assigned people. The man named Li Changqing was a man in his 30s, very tough and strong.Feng Jingsu asked him to be in charge of the management of these people, mainly the guards around the defense mansion.The courtyard where Feng Jingsu and Xue Ai lived was not allowed to enter when they were free.

After making arrangements, Feng Jingsu left Yushu Yuyan to protect Xue Ai, and she returned to the palace by herself.

When Princess Yongning Feng Jingxun heard that Feng Jingsu was asking to see her, she asked the maid to open the gate of Zhiqiong Palace.The two met at this time, which was different from the previous meeting.

Before they were sisters, now they are teachers and sisters.In the eyes of every incoming disciple of Feiyejin Academy, family affection is far less than that of classmates. Whether it is the rules of the academy or the belonging in their hearts, they always take the academy very seriously.

Princess Yongning didn't come out of the academy, but during the years she grew up, apart from the concubine Xian who depended on each other, only Xiao Changyu's guidance moved her the most every year. Although she didn't share names, she could feel Xiao Changyu really cared about her.So after learning of Xiao Changyu's identity, she also regarded herself as a member of the academy.

Since she was a trustworthy person, Princess Yongning took Feng Jingsu to meet Concubine Xian.Concubine Xian showed a loving smile when she saw Feng Jingsu.

"Bengong remembers you. When you were a baby, I hugged you. I didn't expect you to grow so big in a flash."

Concubine Xian's words moved Feng Jingsu's heart. She suddenly thought that the time when Concubine Xian was sick and her biological mother Li Jieyu was sick seemed to be within a few days. Could it be a coincidence?

"Your Majesty, you must take care of your health. If you need anything, if it is not convenient to mention it to the palace, you may as well come to me, and I will try my best to help."

Concubine Xian nodded, "You are a good boy. It's a pity that Li Jieyu... Alas! My palace can survive until today, why did Li Jieyu go?" She said and shed tears.

Princess Yongning quickly persuaded, "Concubine Mu, don't be too sad, take care of your body."

After bidding farewell to Concubine Xian, Feng Jingsu came to Princess Yongning's room. "Second Sister, is Concubine Xian really sick?"

Princess Yongning shook her head, "I don't know. All the imperial physicians in the palace said so. But before the master left, he said that he would ask the blood silkworm master from the academy to come and have a look. I don't know if he will find anything."

Feng Jingsu had also been looking forward to Xue Ai's body being seen by the blood silkworm. Sure enough, people with good medical skills are needed everywhere.

After leaving Zhiqiong Palace, Feng Jingsu went to the Antai Palace, which she hadn't been to for several days.When Concubine De saw her coming and hugged her "darling", Feng Jingsu blushed. "Shuangniang, how much do you know about Concubine Xian?"

"Concubine Xian," said Concubine De lost in memory, "she is the Princess of Xing Kingdom, and I heard that I met His Majesty at a palace banquet in Xing Kingdom. The two fell in love at first sight, and then she came to our country with her husband. So she As soon as she entered the palace, she favored the harem. When she gave birth to Yongning and became pregnant again, there were rumors that if Concubine Xian gave birth to a prince, His Majesty would change Concubine Xian’s son to be the crown prince. Later, Concubine Xian fell ill for no reason, and the palace secretly It is rumored that the empress did it, but there is no evidence, and it was found that it was related to Lu Chongrong, so this matter has nothing to do with the empress."

Some vague messages in Feng Jingsu's mind seemed to gradually become clear, but a thread was needed to thread them through.

"Shuangniang, what do you think?"

Concubine De smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

Feng Jingsu already understood what Concubine De meant.The empress is ruthless, and the crown prince is the most important thing. How could she let an unborn child threaten her son's crown prince status?It's just that if the empress did it, it must be poisoning. Although this kind of thing is hidden, it is absolutely impossible not to find out. Why is the empress safe and sound?Could it be that the emperor has softened his heart?

"Shuangniang, is the time when Concubine Xian is sick is about the same as when my mother is sick?"

When she asked this question, Concubine De's expression immediately changed. "Yun Yi, what did you find?"

Feng Jingsu shook her head, "I just think it's a coincidence."

Concubine De's face looked better now, "It's a coincidence, I thought these two things were related at first, but I searched secretly for a while, but I didn't find out." She took Feng Jingsu's hand and said unwillingly, "Yun Yi, I always feel that your mother's death is not that simple. But the palace is dangerous, some secrets are secrets because some people don't want them to be known, do you understand?"

Feng Jingsu knew that Concubine De was worried about her safety. "Shuangniang, I understand it in my heart. But I will investigate this matter. If my mother was really killed by someone, I will find out the truth and find justice for my mother."

"Good boy, you must be careful, if you need my help, you must tell me." Concubine De patted Feng Jingsu's head.

"Shuangniang, help me keep an eye on the situation in Fengde Palace, okay?" Feng Jingsu acted like a baby.

"You suspect the Queen?"

Feng Jingsu narrowed her eyes, "I don't know what happened back then, but she can't tolerate me now."

Princess Yongning has been investigating the matter of Concubine Xian. She once sneaked into the Imperial Hospital late at night to check the pulse case of the year, but she couldn't find it after many times.She didn't know if she hadn't found it, or if the original pulse case had been destroyed. In the past few days, she had received news from Feng Jingsu that Xianfei's pulse case in the Imperial Hospital had indeed been destroyed.There was a fire in the imperial hospital that year, but the fire was quickly extinguished, and only a small part of the records of pulse records were burned, including that of Concubine Xian.

Things are getting more and more strange. If Concubine Xian was normally ill back then, how could the pulse case disappear?Obviously someone has a ghost in his heart.It's just that the people who served the concubine Xian were all punished by the emperor on the grounds of not serving them well. Now it may be difficult to find any clues in this palace. The person behind it is a master, and he can erase all the clues.

"It seems that there is no other way." Princess Yongning said disappointedly.

Feng Jingsu in front of her also sighed, but she wasn't desperate yet.If you really can't find any clues, you can only rely on the pigeon building in the academy, there may be clues there.

Fei Ge's biography was written to Jiang Fengmin, and Feng Jingsu only hoped that Master would be more reliable this time.

The weather is getting warmer, and most people who have been bored at home all winter are willing to go out of the city for a walk in the wild. The Seventh Prince took his hands down the nearby mountains and galloped his horse, but he fell off the horse for some reason. Although his life was not in danger, But he broke a leg and was carried back to the Prince's Mansion.

After the queen heard the news, she immediately sent Caihe out of the palace to have a look. Caihe came back to report after seeing the news. The imperial doctor said that he would take care of him for a long time, but the seventh prince had no other problems.

"Why would he fall when riding a horse? He is about to get married!" The queen suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Go and find out, Yuan'er learned to ride and shoot since she was a child, and it's impossible for her to fall off easily. Did someone tamper with it?"

After searching for a few days, I didn't find any clues.However, Feng Jingsu took a day to meet the queen, pointing out that she was the one who did the Seventh Prince's fall from the horse.

"Yun Yi! How dare you murder the prince!" The queen trembled with anger.

"Didn't your empress dare to murder me, the princess? Your empress is my aunt, an elder. If Yun Yi dares not resist, then he can only use others." Feng Jingsu smiled coldly, "Oh, yes, three My sister doesn’t go to sleep until after the second watch every night. Didn’t the empress notice that the dark circles under the eyes of the third sister are getting worse? This is not good, the empress should advise the third sister to go to bed early.”

The Queen's heart trembled suddenly, "If you dare to touch He Jia, I will never let you go!"
