The Empire and the Kingdom

After listening to Xue Xiang's words, Xue Ying nodded. King An colluded with the Zhuang family and sent someone to hunt her down. Later, Feng Jingsu discovered King An's disobedience intentions, revealed it to the former prince, and finally confiscated King An's house for treason. .

"After Prince An's house was ransacked, a very important person was not caught." Xiang Xue revealed the news bit by bit.

Xue Ai tilted her head, cutely, "Father is talking about Zhuang Ruoyan, the third lady of the Zhuang family?"

Xue Xiang was satisfied, "Not bad. It seems that you got a lot of news from Princess Yunyi. What if you caught Zhuang Ruoyan? How would you use it?"

Xue Ai's big eyes kept flickering.Every time she thought of a possibility, her eyes flickered, and in a very short time, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Xue Xiang didn't urge her, but looked at his daughter's delicate and cute appearance with great interest. His colleagues said behind his back that he was an old fox. Isn't Xue Ai in front of him just a lively little fox? ?He was relieved at the moment, and regretted at the same time.It's a pity that Xue Ai is a daughter, and a woman cannot be independent in the court, so it would be great if she were a son.

"Father caught Zhuang Ruoyan and asked her to seduce the leader of the rebel army?" Xue Ai didn't even believe what she said, it was too magical.Why did Zhuang Ruoyan agree to this?How to confuse the rebel leader?

Xue Xiang smiled, "Children's thoughts."

Xue Ai flattened her mouth, looking very aggrieved.

"Zhuang Ruoyan's biological mother died early. She grew up with Zhuang Ruoshui. Zhuang Ruoshui treated her very well." Xue Xiang revealed another piece of information.

Xue Ai didn't know this news at all.Her eyes widened, "So Zhuang Ruoshui was killed, and Zhuang Ruoyan agreed to help you deal with the queen in order to avenge her sister?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xue Xiangcai would not admit that he was dealing with the queen.Even if it was such a thing, he would not admit it, even if he was killed.

"Yes." Xue Ai lowered her head. "And then?" Since her idea is wrong, what is the truth?

"Of course the rebels rebelled by themselves. I just asked the leader of the rebels to change his rhetoric." Alluring, Zhuang Ruoshui can seduce King An, and of course he can also seduce a general.The leader of the rebel army knew that he must die, and he would not be wronged if he had a beautiful woman by his side before he died.Of course, this matter still needs the help of people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As for who to help, it is Xue Xiang's own contacts.

Xue Ai thought it was such a clever method, but this is the result?She was somewhat disappointed.

"Ai'er, what kind of eyes are you looking at?" Xiang Xue was dissatisfied, being a father takes face.

Xue Ai laughed along, "Father is amazing."

Xue Xiang was satisfied with his daughter's praise. "Your mother has treated you harshly these years, but father will not treat you harshly. The queen wants to kill you for no reason, and father will help you avenge this hatred."

"Thank you, father." Xue Ai quickly stood up and saluted.

Xue Xiang waved his hand, "So can you tell Dad what you know?" He was like a father who cheated candy from his daughter.

Xue Ai was in a bit of a dilemma, she wasn't sure what she could say and what she couldn't say, she was afraid it would ruin Feng Jingsu's affairs.

Xiang Xue saw all her hesitation, "The girl is not allowed to stay! You can see that your elbows have been turned outside." Xiang Xue sighed exaggeratedly.

Although Xue Ai knew that this was deliberately shown by Xue Xiang, he was still very guilty. "Father, my daughter doesn't know about some things. I just know that this matter is related to Empress Defei."

Xue Xiang thought for a while, "No wonder it's General Qi." He asked Xue Ai to sit down, "Ai'er, this is Cheng's family, you don't want to interfere in this matter, and if possible, I also advise Princess Yunyi not to If you intervene, there are already several forces in it, and they can still form a joint force at present, and if you intervene again, it will become uncontrollable and can only cause bad things."

"Yes, my daughter understands." Xue Ai stared at her father with bright eyes, "Father, my daughter is so happy." She has always been like this, expressing her feelings in the simplest and most straightforward words to the other party.

Xue Xiang smiled kindly, "It's good to be happy. Seeing that you are living well with the princess, father is also relieved. Parents are not by your side, so take care of yourself."

Xue Ai's eyes were a little red, "Father, you are busy with business, and you should pay more attention to your body. My daughter is not in the house. Thinking about it, it is really unfilial."

Xue Ai's true feelings made Xue Xiang gratified, he happily asked someone to prepare a meal, and wanted to keep Xue Ai to have dinner together.

Xue Ai hesitated, hesitated to speak.

Xue Xiang suddenly remembered that there was still poison in Xue Ai's body, and he couldn't eat casually, so he sighed, "It's getting late, you should go back quickly, don't be hungry."

Xue Ai went straight out of the prime minister's mansion without entering the backyard at all.

Mengan saw Xue Ai's preoccupied appearance, "Miss, are you worried about Mr. Xiang?"

"I just feel sorry for my father. My mother has been imprisoned in Wanning Garden, and there is no one to take care of him." For a moment, she really wanted to go back to Xiangfu.

On the other side, Feng Jingsu entered the Antai Hall to see Concubine De.Concubine De hugged Feng Jingsu and looked up and down, "I lost a little weight, did you suffer on the road?"

Feng Jingsu smiled, "Shuangniang, how can I suffer?"

"You, you don't know how to take care of yourself at all." Concubine De was dissatisfied, she liked to see Feng Jingsu who was fat and white, but she was dissatisfied when she was thin.

The two exchanged the situation, and Qi Yuanhai's actions were of course ordered by Concubine De.But Concubine De will not let her only younger brother do something too outrageous in order to avenge the queen.For Qi Yuanhai, this matter is just a matter of lifting his hands, and there is no other danger.

"The empress has done many injustices, and I am not the only one who wants to bring her down." Concubine De has long been aware that there are other people intervening in this matter.

"It should be Xiang Xue. The queen wants to let Xiao Ai be buried with her, Xiang Xue will not just let it go." Although Feng Jingsu was with Xue Ai, she never thought of using Xue Ai to win Xiang Xue.She will not have any utilitarian purpose for Xue Ai, all she has is affection for Xue Ai.

"I have always heard that Miss Xue San is not favored at home, but I never thought that Prime Minister Xue would do this for her." Concubine De nodded, "Even if she is not favored, she is still her own daughter, and the empress is too deceitful."

"Shuang Niang, leave this matter to me." Feng Jingsu didn't want Concubine De to work hard on this matter.

Concubine De smiled, and patted Feng Jingsu's hand, "I avenge your mother not for you, but for your mother. If you are really good for me, let me continue to do it. After so many years, this time is my When I was at my most peaceful, I was finally able to do something for her. You have important things to do, don't interfere with this matter, I will do it well. "

"Shuangniang..." Feng Jingsu was touched, any kind of fairy sisterhood made Concubine De do this, but unfortunately she was still too young back then, so she had no impression of how her mother and Concubine De got along.

"Do you know how boring the years in the palace are? The harem without Ke'er is like a pool of stagnant water. I've been lonely for too long." At this moment, Concubine De didn't see Feng Jingsu, no one else, only the girl who had died ten years ago. Memories of a woman of many years.

When we met when we were young, that little girl called "Sister Shuang" one after another, and when she entered the palace, she shed tears to see her off, and when she entered the palace, she greeted her with a smile.We all know that the time in the palace is difficult, and with each other, we have company.Who would have thought that she would go there at such a young age.I thought it was God's injustice, but it turned out that it was just a vicious heart.

Ke'er, I've missed you for too long.This time, I will send the person who harmed you to meet you under the Nine Springs. Don't be merciful when the time comes, revenge for revenge, revenge for injustice.

The reason why Concubine De has not touched the queen is because she wants to see the queen deal with Chen Chongyi.

Chen Chongyi was so frightened that she was a little delirious during this time. Princess Wen Chun was always with her, but she accidentally fell into the water when passing by the lake two days ago. Fortunately, someone saw it and rescued her.

Concubine De understood that this was a common trick used by the queen.As a queen, she kills but doesn't want to get her hands dirty, so she threatens with the person she cares about the most.If Chen Chongyi understands the matter, she should kill herself, otherwise no one will save Princess Wen Chun the next time there is another "accident".

Chen Chongyi also knew that she tried very hard to save the lives of herself and her daughter, but in this palace, she had nowhere to escape.Now she is not afraid that Princess Wen Chun will be married and married far away, on the contrary, she is now hoping that the emperor will issue an order to send Princess Wen Chun away immediately.As long as you leave this palace, at least you can save your daughter's life.

"Mother, what happened to you?" Princess Wen Chun didn't know what happened.In her peaceful and carefree life, the greatest danger is the possibility of being sent to make a marriage.

"Wen Chun, you are already old, you should get married as soon as possible, lest you become an old girl, even if you are a golden branch and jade leaf, you will be talked about when you are old." Chen Chongyi has lost a lot of weight.

"Mother, I know. But you have to wait for your health to recover." She is not in the mood to think about her own affairs now.

Chen Chongyi shook her head, "Mother is fine. When you get married and your mother's wish is fulfilled, the illness will naturally be cured."

Princess Wen Chun didn't know how to persuade her. She always felt that Chen Chongyi's illness was strange. The imperial physician only said that she was overly worried, but the imperial physician didn't know what to worry about, and Chen Chongyi didn't say anything.

After coaxing Princess Wenchun away, Chen Chongyi sent people to Antai Hall to invite Concubine De.

Concubine De just leaned on the chair under the eaves and watched the maids tending the flowers and plants. Maybe she was getting old, and recently she always liked to recall the past.

Knowing that Chen Chongyi invited her to go, Concubine De stood up, "Let's go."

"Your Majesty, you are a concubine, how can Madam Chongyi let you see her?" Le Xin was dissatisfied.

"She is so sick, do you still expect her to come to Antai Palace? Forget it, the dead are the most important."

The last sentence frightened Le Xin.She lowered her head and didn't dare to ask, she knew that Concubine De was serious about taking revenge this time.

In the main hall of Youxia Palace, there is a strong smell of medicine everywhere.Concubine De walked in, leaving Le Xin outside.

Chen Chongyi looked haggard, and she seemed to be a different person after not seeing her for just over a month.

"Your Majesty..." Chen Chongyi tried to sit up.

Concubine De looked at her coldly, without any intention of reaching out. "You invite me to come, and if you have anything to say, just say it."

Chen Chongyi worked hard for a long time, but she could only lean on half-lying and half-lying. "Your Majesty, this concubine knows that I have committed a serious crime, and I also know that the empress will not tolerate me. No one in the harem will help me. I am already in a desperate situation."

Concubine De raised her eyebrows, "Didn't you ask for this?"
