The Empire and the Kingdom

Feng Jingsu raised her chin proudly, her eyes flashed, "Your Majesty has already killed me, what else is there to let go?" She took a few steps forward and lowered her voice, "Whoever dares to hurt me , the empress is afraid that she doesn't want her son and daughter anymore."

The queen frowned, her eyes were slightly red, "Yun Yi, are you not afraid that I will tell His Majesty this?"

Feng Jingsu curled the corners of her mouth, but did not bring out a trace of warmth, "Your Majesty, go ahead and sue. I also want to tell my father that I was almost killed, and beg my father to give me justice."

The queen's hands were clenched into fists. Since becoming a queen, no one has dared to threaten her like this.A little princess who doesn't even have a biological mother dares to make trouble in this harem, but now she has a weakness in Feng Jingsu's hands, and the safety of her two children is the most important thing. "Yun Yi, let's leave the right and wrong in the past, and I will treat you kindly in the future, how about it?"

Feng Jing and Su Shili said, "Thank you, Madam, for making it happen."

Seeing Feng Jingsu's leaving back, the queen understood that no matter what method she used, this Yun Yi must be eliminated, and she only had one chance, and she could only succeed and not fail.

Xue Ai opened her mouth in surprise when she heard about Feng Jingsu's actions. Feng Jingsu closed her mouth with a smile, "Drool is about to come out."

"Sister Su, you... aren't you forcing the Empress to kill you?" This was her first reaction.

"So I'm in danger all the time, Xiao Ai, you have to protect me." Feng Jingsu hugged Xue Ai shamelessly, buried her head in Xue Ai's arms and rubbed back and forth.

Xue Ai wanted to think about it at first, but Feng Jingsu caught fire and yelled to put it out.

In this kind of matter, Xue Ai has always been more proactive than Feng Jingsu.

As the sky was getting dark, Feng Jingsu kissed Xue Ai's sweaty little face and looked at the weak but charming figure in her arms, she really couldn't love enough.

"I only now understand what is meant by 'the spring night is bitter and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early'."

Xue Ai's body was a little weak, and she was tired in Feng Jingsu's arms, "Sister Su, you have to be careful of the queen."

"It's okay, I'm prepared." Feng Jingsu suppressed her eagerness to move again, and let Xue Ai rest.

As soon as she got dressed and left the room, she saw Yushu waiting outside the door with an anxious expression on her face. Seeing her come out, she immediately handed over a thin bamboo tube.This is the thin bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg.

"The news is so fast this time?" Feng Jingsu thought it would take a few days, after all, it always takes time to check a piece of news from more than ten years ago.

When she came to the study, Xiao Zhu brought her freshly brewed hot tea.Only when she opened the letter did she realize that the news came so fast this time because the person who replied was not Jiang Fengmin at all, but her junior sister Gu Li.

Gu Li said in the letter that Concubine Xian fell in love with the emperor at first sight when she was a princess in Xingguo, and then she took the initiative to marry her relatives to Yunguo.As for Concubine Xian's illness, it was caused by poisoning, and it was the simplest and most poisonous arsenic.The person who poisoned was Lu Chongrong, which is why Lu Chongrong was thrown into limbo.As for whether there is a master messenger behind Lu Chongrong, there is no record in the pigeon tower.The letter also said that Jiang Fengmin asked Gu Li to help him find out the news recently because he wanted to comfort the irritable head of the courtyard.

"Junior Junior Sister is the most reliable." Feng Jingsu sighed.

At night, Yushu told Princess Yongning about Lu Chongrong.Princess Yongning didn't ask Concubine Xian, she knew what kind of person her concubine mother was.Concubine Xian is just a flower raised in a greenhouse. She has no resistance to the wind and rain that destroys her, and she doesn't even know why she was destroyed.

In the middle of the night, Princess Yongning quietly entered the cold palace alone.It was pitch black, and she searched for a long time before finding an unkempt, sleeping woman.

The woman was woken up by Princess Yongning. In the middle of the night, she thought she had met a ghost, so she screamed out in fright, but just as soon as she made a sound, Princess Yongning tapped the dumb acupoint. She was even more scared. Although she couldn't shout, the expression on her face But very hideous.

Princess Yongning pressed her shoulders, making her unable to move. "Let me ask you, are you Lu Chongrong?"

It took the woman a long time to understand the meaning of the words, she shook her head, but couldn't speak, so she pointed to the opposite room.

Princess Yongning asked: "Lu Chongrong lives across the street?"

The woman nodded desperately.

Princess Yongning was afraid that she would make trouble, so she directly touched her sleeping point.She came to the opposite room, the door was locked from the inside, and she climbed in through the window.The place was still messy, so she lit the torch, found the candle on the table and lit it.The room lit up.

The woman on the bed woke up suddenly. Seeing Princess Yongning, she was puzzled at first, then her eyes widened and she began to tremble.

"Lu Chongrong?" Princess Yongning asked.

The woman was not so scared when she heard the voice.Probably thought Princess Yongning was a ghost at the beginning. "I am." She hesitated, "You are Yongning?"

That's right now, Princess Yongning was already a six or seven-year-old child when Lu Chongrong was thrown into the cold palace. Although she has grown up now, her eyebrows and eyes have not changed much, which can still be seen.

"I am. I came to you to ask for advice." Princess Yongning pulled a chair and sat beside the bed.

"Do you want to ask Concubine Xian about the poisoning?" When Lu Chongrong said this, his expression was indifferent and very calm.

Princess Yongning's heart moved.Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Xian was ill, but Lu Chongrong knew that it was poisoning. It seemed that this matter was really related to her. "Did you poison it?"

Lu Chongrong nodded. "I did it, all the poisons were done by me." Her expression gradually became richer, "I will poison you all to death! Then I will be the queen, and my son will be the prince. Hahaha! "

Princess Yongning touched her dumb acupoint. Seeing her unable to make a sound but baring her teeth and claws, Princess Yongning frowned. She was a normal person just now, why did she start talking nonsense all of a sudden?Is it real or fake?

This night, Princess Yongning tried it several times, and found that Lu Chongrong's mental state was very strange. Every time he mentioned poisoning, he was abnormal, but he would calm down again after a while.In this way, Princess Yongning couldn't believe what Lu Chongrong said, and there was no way to ask whether there was someone behind Lu Chongrong.

The news of the seventh prince's broken leg quickly spread to the prime minister's residence, and Pan sighed, fearing that the wedding date would be delayed.Xue Ying is already there, and her birthday will be over if she delays it by a few months, so maybe people will talk about it.

Xue Ying felt a little uneasy, she felt that this was not a good sign.The Seventh Prince rode his horse all day long and never had any accidents. How come he was about to get married and broke his leg?This reminded her that the first prince was assassinated before, and then lost his life in Liguo.Could it be that the Seventh Prince is also in danger?In fact, Xue Ying didn't have any feelings for the seventh prince, what she was interested in was the identity and future of the seventh prince.

With Xue Zhi and Xue Ai missing from the family, no one came to mock Xue Ying after this incident.Xue Ruo really wanted to come and say a few words, but she was warned by Mrs. Jiang that if she dared to speak nonsense, she would follow Xue Zhi's example and send her to the Compassion Temple. Xue Ruo knew that her mother was cruel. It really scared Jiang Shi, she was originally from a small family, and she only wanted her daughter to live a life in peace.

"Ying'er, don't worry too much. Isn't there still no order from the palace? Maybe the seventh prince's injury is not serious, and we can get married on time." Before Pan's words fell, the little maid came to report, and someone from the palace came The decree has been delivered.

This imperial decree was issued to the whole family, the seventh prince was injured, and the wedding was postponed for half a year.After receiving the decree, Xiang Xue didn't say anything to the mother and daughter, but went to the front yard to talk with the eunuch who passed the decree.

Xue Ying finally realized that something was wrong with Xue Xiang. Ever since she escaped and was brought back, Xue Ying had never said a word to her, and every time she saw her, it seemed as if she couldn't see her, completely ignoring her.

"Mother, why is dad ignoring me?" Xue Ying panicked.

"Isn't your father always like this? He was busy with the political affairs of the previous dynasty, so it's enough for your mother to help you think about your affairs." Pan Shi actually also saw that something was wrong with Xue Xiang, not only to Xue Ying, but also to Xue Xiang. Reasonable, don't speak at all unless necessary.She knew that Xue Xiang was angry at her for not teaching Xue Ying well, but now as long as Xue Ying marries well, she has nothing extravagant to ask for.The days of the couple are just like that.

Xue Ai has lived outside for many days, although she was reluctant to give up, she still proposed to go home.

"You know I don't want to let you go back." Feng Jingsu really couldn't bear it, the little fox was by her side every day, cute, cute and easy to use, it was simply not too sweet.Who would be willing to give away such a baby?

Of course Xue Ai was even more reluctant, but as an unmarried girl, it would be shameful not to go home for a long time. Her reputation was ruined, but the reputation of the Xiangfu was even worse.

"I know, but I have to go home. Sister Su, you must succeed, so that Xiao Ai can stay by your side forever and never have to be separated again."

Feng Jingsu held Xue Ai in her arms, obviously they were just going home, and the two could still see each other often, but even such a separation was something they were unwilling to bear.Sure enough, the love is so deep that I just want to be together all the time, even if I breathe the same air, I feel it is sweet.

Said it was parting, but the two were tired of being together and did not want to separate.

"If you're so reluctant, don't go back." Feng Jingsu really couldn't let go, she was used to the life with Xue Ai around her, as long as she thought that she would not see the little fox when she came back in the future, and without the little fox to seduce her, she felt that life would be impossible pass.

Xue Ai is not much better, she seduces Feng Jingsu in different ways every day, enjoys the joy of fish and water, and has long been addicted.Right now, she was wrapping her arms around Feng Jingsu's neck and biting lightly, "No, father will doubt it."

Feng Jingsu pushed the man down and leaned over to press him, "Why don't we just confess to Xue Xiang directly."

Xue Ai's eyes widened in confusion, "Don't mess around!" It's just that her words got out of tune in Feng Jingsu's movements.

Feng Jingsu said this out of anger, seeing Xue Ai's reaction, she smiled and lowered her head to kiss, "Don't leave today, okay?"

Xue Ai didn't speak, and responded to her with movements.

The next day, when Xue Ai came home, Mrs. Xue called her to the front yard before Mrs. Pan had time to ask her if she was not at home.

"Healed?" Xue Ai was stunned by a word from Xue Xiang.

Seeing his daughter's surprised look, Xiang Xue shook his head, "Ai'er, do you really think that this prime minister is just a show? Wouldn't your father know about such a big incident near the capital?" Xue Ai was kidnapped. Xue Xiang really didn't know, However, Feng Jingsu was attacked and the garrison was mobilized. He received the report immediately.Knowing that his daughter was brought back to the garrison mansion, and the imperial physician went there shortly afterwards, Xiang Xue was naturally distressed, and had thought of taking Xue Ai back to the mansion to recuperate, but on second thought, he was really worried about Mrs. Pan.Thinking of his daughter being taken care of better outside than at home, he felt angry.

Xue Ai lowered her head, "My daughter hides from her father, just because she is afraid of his worrying. My daughter has recovered, so I dare not let my father worry about it."

Xue Xiang nodded, "Princess Yunyi is really kind to you. She now holds the military power, and I can rest assured that you have her protecting you outside. As for at home... you can just tell me if you need anything in the future. If I am busy If you are not in the mansion, you go to find Mother Chen, your mother is a fool, Yinger is just as foolish as her, you don’t care about them, and don’t get angry with them, it’s not worth it.” Xue Xiang is a ruthless person who can make a quick decision, since Pan Shi and Xue Ying are hopeless, and he doesn't want to waste any more time. Pan Shi is the last respect he has for this wife.

"Yes, my daughter would like to follow my father's teaching." Xue Ai obediently agreed.

After Xue Ai left, Xue Xiang called Chen's mother again and asked her to take care of Xue Ai. If Pan Shi and Xue Ying troubled Xue Ai again, they would come and tell him immediately.

Xue Ai returned to Pingle Pavilion, just settled down, and was called by Mrs. Pan again, asking her what she had done during this time, Xue Ai answered one by one, Mrs. Pan said that she had a bad reputation, and she should not go around in the future It's ostentatious, Xue Ai just nodded and said yes, and didn't say much.

After Xue Ai left, Pan couldn't help complaining, "It's always like this, you agree to what you say, and then you still do what you should do, and what you say is nothing!"

"Ma'am, the third lady is about to reach the age of ji, and recently the master has valued it again, so don't be too constrained, it will be good for you and the third lady." Xie's mother has already seen Xue Ai's ability, but she still has a little heart. To Pan's, he couldn't help persuading.

Mrs. Pan sighed. Recently, because of the postponement of Xue Ying's marriage, she was feeling irritable. It seems that she should go out to pay respects to the Bodhisattva more often, so that the Bodhisattva can bless the whole family in safety.

"Remember to prepare more joss sticks on the first day of junior high school, and let's go to the Temple of Compassion to pay homage to the Bodhisattva."

After Xue Ai returned home, Feng Jingsu felt that the room lacked popularity and was always empty.Before she could feel melancholy, she was called back to the palace by the emperor.

Qinzheng Hall.

"Yunyi, Yuan'er, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again." The emperor was much older, and the incident with the crown prince hit him hard. Often feel powerless.

Feng Jingsu took a deep breath, "Father thinks this son has gone too far?" Now that she knew about it, she simply opened up the conversation.

The emperor stared at the daughter in front of him. He should have known that the people taught by Fei Yejin were so easy to be bullied.

"Yuan'er is innocent after all." The emperor sighed.

"What about Xue Ai?" This was the first time Feng Jingsu refused to give an inch in front of the emperor after returning to China.

The emperor didn't get angry, and nodded, "Xue Ai and you are innocent in this matter. The queen has already fallen into a demon, and it is not appropriate to be the mother of the world, but Yun Yi, the Cheng family is still there, and I can't abandon the queen. You are in Feiyejin Following the head of the court must have learned a lot of skills to check and balance the courtiers, if you were Zhen, what would you do?"

Feng Jingsu didn't speak.If she were the emperor, facing the Cheng family, she would probably keep the queen first.The emperor did not do anything wrong. As an emperor, there is always a lot of helplessness. Even if the empress makes a big mistake, she is loyal and harmless to the emperor.This is why the emperor will not abolish the empress.

"You also know my difficulties, right?" The emperor stretched out his hand to signal her to sit down, "I didn't misunderstand you, you are calmer than your brothers." He patted the dragon chair he was sitting on, "Yun Yi, Everyone wants to sit on this chair, but it’s really uncomfortable to sit on.”

Feng Jingsu got up and said: "It's because the son and minister are unfilial, which makes the emperor embarrassing."

"Hehehe." The emperor smiled like a child, "I have too many embarrassing things, and yours is not a big deal. As long as you manage the garrison for me, I will be at ease in my heart, you know?" Ten thousand Although it is not enough for the army to defend the capital, it is almost enough.

"Father, don't worry, I will do my best."

At night, Princess Yongning came to find Feng Jingsu and told about Lu Chongrong in the cold palace.

"Crazy?" Feng Jingsu frowned.

"It doesn't look like she's crazy, but when I asked about my concubine, she was not normal. I tried it a few times, but I couldn't tell if she was really crazy or pretending to be crazy." Princess Yongning said almost every night. To ask Lu Chongrong, but every time the result is the same.

The two went to the Leng Palace together, Lu Chongrong was still the same, his expression began to change when he mentioned Concubine Xian, and he couldn't ask for a confession at all.

Feng Jingsu was about to use force when she got angry, but was stopped by Princess Yongning. "What if she's innocent? Yun Yi, it's hard to tell the truth under heavy punishment! I just want the truth."

In this way, Feng Jingsu was in the same boat. "I have to ask for help again." After leaving the cold palace, she muttered depressingly.

Princess Yongning was quite embarrassed, so it was fine to bother Feng Jingsu, and let Feng Jingsu beg someone else. "I made it difficult for you."

Feng Jingsu quickly waved her hands, "You and my sister, you are welcome."

After returning to the palace, she wrote a letter overnight and sent Fei Yejin back.
