The Empire and the Kingdom

Xue Ying was about to have a fit, but she was held back by her maid, Rumei, who pointed to the direction Xue Ai came from, which was the front yard.

"Miss, the third lady came from the front yard. It must be the master who sent the third lady to talk. If you make a fuss at this time, the master will not be happy." Rumei is the big maid raised by the Pan family. Two years older and sensible, he was placed beside Xue Ying to persuade her.

Xue Ying snorted coldly, "Could it be that father will stand up for her?"

"Miss, Miss San is your own sister after all, you should listen to Da Furen and pay more attention to Xihaiju and Yunjianxuan." Ru Mei pouted towards the two courtyards over there.

Xue Ying stomped her feet, "It's better for that damn girl!"

Xue Ai returned to Pingle Pavilion and saw that Meng'an seemed to have something to say, "Do you think it's unwise for me to match up with Eldest Sister?"

Meng An hesitated, "Miss, this servant knows that you are a smart person, and there must be your intentions to be like the eldest lady, but this servant is really stupid, I really can't see it."

Xue Ai smiled sweetly, "You think too much about me. I don't have any intentions. It's just that she bullied me for so many years. I just resisted. After all, no one wants to be bullied forever, right? Even my own sister is the same."

How can there be so much meaning?She didn't dare to resist before because she was afraid of attracting the attention of her family. For so many years, she had lived herself as an invisible person. , she just wanted to hide in a corner where no one was around and wait for her sister Su to come back.

Feng Jingsu is back, so she doesn't have to hide anymore.She doesn't need Feng Jingsu to support her, she can live well by herself.

Meng An scratched her head, she wasn't sure Xue Ai's words were true, but it didn't matter, as long as she took good care of the young lady, it was enough for her, she probably couldn't think clearly about the rest.

After Mengan went out, Xue Ai began to miss Feng Jingsu. Since returning from the paddock, Feng Jingsu had never seen her again, and she had no chance to enter the palace. She was very worried about Feng Jingsu's injury.

"What are you thinking?" She was worried, and the worried person pushed the door in.

"Sister Su!" Xue Ai got up to meet her, but the surprised expression disappeared, "You are injured, why did you run out again?"

"You don't want to see me?" Feng Jingsu also wanted to recuperate in the palace, but today she couldn't get bored anymore, so she ran out, "Then I'm leaving."

Just as Feng Jingsu was about to turn around, Xue Ai hugged her waist from behind, "Don't go."

Feng Jingsu turned around with a smile, and hugged Xue Ai into her arms, "I knew you were reluctant to let me go."

Xue Ai raised her head, "Is the injury better? Does it still hurt?"

"It's much better." Feng Jingsu deliberately moved her injured left arm, Xue Ai was terrified to see it, and quickly supported her to keep her from moving.

"I see, don't move around, and be careful of the wound opening." She asked Feng Jingsu to sit on the bed, and she sat on the side talking with her.

"There are a lot of things going on in the palace recently, and it's not convenient for me to come out after I'm injured." Feng Jingsu reached out and pinched her chin, "Are you worried about me?"

"Yeah, I was still worried just now." Xue Ai admitted honestly.

"It's okay." Feng Jingsu withdrew her hand, "I have something to ask you, how many people do you have available?"

Xue Ai looked up and looked at Feng Jingsu stupidly, seemingly unresponsive.

Feng Jingsu smiled, stretched out her hand and waved in front of her eyes, "Hey, I'm returning to my soul."

Xue Ai said: "How do you know that I have someone on hand?"

"Since I met you, you have tried your best to save money and buy pastries to give to those beggars. You have been helping those beggars for so many years, isn't it for doing good deeds?" Xue Ai is a little fox, and it is impossible to lose money. made.

Xue Ai blushed, "He... is also very kind." Why does Sister Su make herself so utilitarian?

"Yes, yes, you are kind." Feng Jingsu took her hand, "Tell me, how many people are there?"

"Do you want to use it?" Xue Ai asked without answering.

This is not even telling myself.Feng Jingsu stopped asking, "There is an inn, and I want to know who the owner is behind it. But you know I don't have any trustworthy people outside, so I have to ask Miss Xue San for help."

Xue Ai pouted, "Sister Su came to make fun of people again."

"To be honest." Feng Jingsu told her about her findings, and then her judgment, "I always feel that the prince is not that simple in this matter, so I want to find out. In addition, I have already investigated the person who kidnapped you. It’s over, it’s a guard, and as for the mastermind behind it, you should know it even if I don’t tell you.”

Xue Ai curled her lips, "The only one who can use the palace guards and put me to death is the prince and side concubine."

Zhuang Ruoshui dared to send people to attack in full view of the paddock, is it audacious?Still can't wait?

"I won't let her go." In fact, Feng Jingsu had already guessed that it was Zhuang Ruoshui, but before she had conclusive evidence, she couldn't judge rashly. After she had evidence, she was not going to show mercy.

"Sister Su, don't touch Zhuang Ruoshui, okay?" Xue Ai begged, shaking her hand.

"Why?" Feng Jingsu felt that Xue Ai was very soft and cute when she begged for help, and she wanted to rub it when she saw it, and wanted to hide it in her arms so that no one would see it.

"I'm afraid that if you touch Zhuang Ruoshui, the crown prince will marry me in advance." Xue Ai is really afraid of this. This is the emperor's order and imperial decree. Even Feng Jingsu can't disobey it, let alone himself.She is now trying to grab the limelight while avoiding getting involved with the prince and the East Palace.In the paddock before, the prince's entanglement with her was nothing to outsiders. After all, they were married couples. Although the prince was still rude, even the most conservative family couldn't say anything. That's family.But Xue Ai was very scared, because she couldn't refuse, so she was scared.Now there is a side concubine in the East Palace. Before the prince marries the main concubine, he will not let the side concubine in for the time being.But once something happens to Zhuang Ruoshui, the prince can let Xue Ai pass through the door early on the grounds that he needs someone to serve him.

Feng Jingsu understood Xue Ai's worry, and could see her cautiousness even more, "It's my fault. I didn't think of this, which made you worry."

Xue Ai shook her head, "I know Sister Su is protecting me, I'm very happy." She moved her body and sat closer to Feng Jingsu, "Sister Su, you don't mind that I've already made a kiss, right? "Still cautious. For a woman, she is a family member after making a kiss.After many women got engaged, they got divorced because of various problems, and later said that they could only be remarried as a low match, and they were ridiculed for this. The world is unfair to women, but sadly, this kind of unfair treatment is often from women.

"What are you thinking?" Feng Jingsu opened her arms, and Xue Ai took the initiative to nest into her arms, "Xiao Ai, originally I was able to ask my father for my meritorious service this time, but I want to ask my father to let me go." You will be my companion, but the emperor said that you are engaged to the prince, so it is not good to enter the palace early."

This news was not a surprise to both of them. Feng Jingsu knew that the hope was slim before she made the request, but she was still willing to give it a try.After hearing this, Xue Ai also knew that the emperor had nothing to embarrass him, which was indeed against the rules.

"I am very satisfied to be like this now." Xue Ai raised her head, and from her angle, she could just see Feng Jingsu's long eyelashes, the roots were distinct, she couldn't help reaching out to touch her, Feng Jingsu also pampered her, whatever It's up to her to do it to herself.

"I'll release a message tonight to let the beggars in the city pay attention to that inn. There should be news in a few days." Xue Aike didn't forget the business.

Feng Jingsu nodded, and she suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of which, did the name of your wooden vase also come from those beggars?"

Xue Ai covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister Su is so smart."

"As expected of a little fox." Feng Jingsu hugged him tightly, "I'll have someone bring that little fox to you in a few days, okay?"

"Okay." Xue Ai really missed that little fox.

Feng Jingsu asked Xue Ai again if she had been bullied during this period, and Xue Ai only said that she was fine.Feng Jingsu is not worried about her, she is smart and cunning enough, she thinks better than herself in many things.

After thinking about it, Feng Jingsu couldn't help shaking her head. Following her master, Jiang Fengmin, she would inevitably suffer a bit in terms of strategy. Although she also had to be in charge of the school to teach, in terms of planning and layout, she didn't think she was the master sister Yi Jiachenxu at all. opponent.Now it seems that even Xue Ai has done a good job, probably this is talent.

A few days later, when Feng Jingsu came to see Xue Ai again, Xue Ai's beggar friends had already found out that the inn that Feng Jingsu mentioned belonged to the Cheng family.Whether it is the Cheng family or the Zhuang family, they are all tied to the prince, so the prince is definitely not so simple in this matter.

Although the conditions in the prison of Zongzheng Temple in the capital are much better than those outside, for the pampered nobles, such a prison is already terrible.The Fifth Prince Feng Ze has been here for half a month, and he has lost a lot of weight. It is difficult for people who are not familiar with him to recognize him.

Today Wang Guifei's family specially used money to bring a table of delicious food, how can the fifth prince be in the mood to eat?Originally he did not agree to take the blame for this matter, but he was raised under Wang Guifei since he was a child, and Wang Guifei treated him well, and he knew very well that he was going to help the second prince seek the crown prince, so once this incident happened, He felt that it was going to be bad, and sure enough, this kind of bad luck fell on his head.

He hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of food here, when suddenly someone came outside and brought him into the palace.In front of the emperor, he prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to speak out.The emperor looked at him with pity in his heart.This son lost his mother since he was a child. Although Wang Guifei had never treated him harshly and devoted herself to teaching him, but when something happened to the parent and child, she still had to push the adopted son to take the blame.

"Ze'er, someone said something to me. No matter what, you are innocent. I shouldn't let you bear the mistakes of the power struggle. But since you pleaded guilty, I can't ignore it. Zongzheng Temple, you don't have to." Go, go back to the mansion and introspect."

The fifth prince didn't expect things to turn around like this. He lay on the ground and cried bitterly, tearing at the corner of the emperor's clothes, expressing his gratitude for the emperor's kindness.

The emperor touched his head, "You are the founder of the mansion, and you should have your own opinions. You are a kind child. It is good not to be ungrateful, but don't be calculated so easily. This time someone Help you, what about next time? Ze'er, go back and think about it."

The fifth prince didn't dare to ask who helped him, anyway, this kind of thing would show up sooner or later, he left the palace and returned home after thanking him.
