The Empire and the Kingdom

Feng Jingsu understands that one can be strong without desires. Concubine De has been in the harem for so long, because she doesn't want anything, so she can see everything clearly and understand everything best.

"I see."

Feng Jingsu didn't pay attention to the assassination of the prince. She guessed that the guard who was secretly protecting him must have returned, because Princess Hejia, who traveled with the prince, had returned.Princess Hejia originally thought that going to Liguo would be a very dignified and fun thing, but she didn't expect to be assassinated on the way, and she fell down and sprained her foot because she was too panicked, so she couldn't go on, so she had to come back.Seeing that her daughter was injured, the queen was even more unwilling to let the concubine Wang Guifei and the second prince go. However, the emperor did not pursue this matter any further, perhaps because he planned to wait for the prince to come back to conduct a detailed investigation.

What if the prince never comes back?Feng Jingsu sneered.She knows that Chen Xu, the current senior sister, must have a hard time in Li Kingdom, but if she is Chen Xu, she will definitely find a way to destroy this marriage, and Li Kingdom can no longer be stronger.

Feng Jingsu didn't have any psychological barriers to her elder brother who killed her.Since ancient times, in the struggle for imperial power, the people who died were all their own family members.Those with deep brotherhood can only be lambs waiting to be slaughtered.She grew up in Feiyejin Academy since she was a child. If she had to talk about her family, she felt that the teachers and sisters in the academy were more cordial than those in the palace.For example, she believed that Chen Xu would definitely help her.

In the evening, Feng Jingsu came to Xue Ai's room and saw Xue Ai taking out the materials she had sorted out. She rubbed Xue Ai's hand, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xue Ai stuck to her body, "It's not hard. Anyway, my mother won't let me go out. It's more interesting to organize these things than embroider dowry."

"Dowry? Your mother really wants you to get married soon." Feng Jingsu squeezed Xue Ai's little hand, "You won't need the dowry this time. I will pay your dowry in the future."

Xue Ai wrinkled her nose, "If there was no Sister Su, I would be the most pitiful person." How much dowry will Mrs. Pan prepare for her?She guessed and knew it wasn't much.

Feng Jingsu shook her head, "You are so smart, you will be fine without me." She hugged Xue Ai tightly, "But I need you, and I can feel at ease with you by my side."

Xue Ai was so beautiful in her heart, "I am so important, so I have to work hard with Sister Su."

Feng Jingsu pinched her chin and pressed her forehead against her forehead, "Xiao Ai, there is news from the Li Kingdom that the prince has entered the palace of the Li Kingdom. What we expect should happen soon. If something happens to the prince, once the news comes Passing it back to China will threaten your reputation and even your safety."

"I know. I'm ready. I will stay at home during this time, Sister Su, I will be very good, don't worry about me." Xue Ai is really sensible, she knows she has to calm down at this time , don't make trouble for Feng Jingsu.

"You are so obedient, how can I not like you." A soft kiss, with the meaning of reward, fell on Xue Ai's lips.

Xue Ai's face was full of smiles, with the sweetness of this moment, she had the courage to face the coming storm.

In the harem, the queen and the noble concubine fought endlessly, and the other concubines entered the mode of eating melons and watching dramas.In the court, the Cheng family also frequently attacked the Xiangguo government, and the relationship between the two families was in dire straits.

However, all the disputes came to an abrupt end because of a news. There was news from the Li Kingdom that Prince Feng Ye was killed by Yi Jiachen, the lord of the Shun En County, in the Li Kingdom Palace!

For a while, the front court was shocked, and the harem was shocked.

The emperor didn't respond for a while after hearing the news, the queen passed out on the spot, and after waking up, she cried so hard that the harem was in chaos.

A few happy and a few sad.

In Jiaolan Palace, Concubine Wang wiped away tears that did not exist on her face with a handkerchief, "Man, I really want to do what I want, and I am afraid of what will happen. The queen and the prince played a bitter trick from the black last autumn. , took advantage of everything, and now repeating the old tricks, it is really addictive. This time, it’s good, I lost my life directly in the palace of the Li Kingdom, and see who the queen can frame this matter on.”

"Your Majesty," the palace maid Xiuliu said, "Now that the crown prince is dead, the Second Highness's chance has come."

Concubine Wang nodded, "You're right. But it's not that easy." She sighed, "There are many sons in Zhonggong, the eldest one died, isn't there still the seventh? Although he is still young, he is sixteen. If His Majesty really only establishes a son-in-law, Shen'er still has no chance."

"Your Majesty, it's all about human effort." Xiuliu put the peeled tangerines into Wang Guifei's hands.

Wang Guifei looked at her, "Naturally. This may be a chance that God gave me."

As soon as Feng Jingsu received the news, she sent Yushu to inform Xue Ai.Xue Ai was so excited that she was about to shed tears as she clutched the handkerchief tightly.

She and the prince had no grievances or enmities, but a marriage forced on her, and a marriage that she could not resist at all, made her and the prince have the closest relationship, and also became an incomprehensible mortal enemy.The prince does not die, even if she dies, she is still the prince's woman.Xue Ai is a fox, not a rabbit.The fox is good at disguising. When she is unable to resist, she tries to hide herself as much as possible, but when she has Feng Jingsu's help and can resist, she takes action cleanly and without any sympathy.

"Miss, the princess said that the situation has changed recently, and it is inconvenient for her to leave the palace, so please be more careful." Yushu continued.

"I see. You go back and tell Sister Su that I will be obedient and she should pay more attention."

It is inconvenient for Feng Jingsu to leave the palace at this time. No matter how many pushers are behind this incident, the prince did die in Li Kingdom and Yi Jiachenxu's hands. This makes it impossible for the queen to find someone to avenge the prince .She could only cry to the emperor, asking the emperor to put pressure on Liguo to hand over Yi Jiachenxu, the murderer.

How Chen Xu killed the prince, Feng Jingsu has no way to get the exact news.But seeing the queen gnashing her teeth and wanting to devour the murderer alive, she felt worried for the elder sister.

Guan Xuejing received news from Feng Jingsu and asked her to send several guards trained in the mountains to secretly protect Xue Ai.She curled her lips, as expected, she was thinking of her family.

In Shenhe Palace, there are white cloths hanging everywhere.

Feng Jingsu shook her head when she saw Guan Xuejing, "You shouldn't have come into the palace at this time."

"I know, so I came in secretly." Guan Xuejing sat down opposite Feng Jingsu, "The news outside is quite complicated, and there are all kinds of things. I'm here to ask you for the exact news. Senior Sister killed it, is it true or not?"

Feng Jingsu nodded, "Really."

Guan Xuejing opened her mouth wide, "How is it possible? Isn't the senior sister no longer has martial arts? No matter how bad the prince is, he still knows how to punch." After she was surprised, Wang Tian thought for a while, "Is it true that the senior sister's martial arts is abolished? She patted the table, "Senior Sister, I have always felt that Senior Sister Hanyou can't be so cruel, how can she really abolish the martial arts of Senior Sister? How can she be willing? Besides, isn't she afraid of being in charge? If Senior Sister's martial arts is really abolished Already, the head of the courtyard wants to eat people!"

She babbled endlessly, Feng Jingsu picked up an orange on the table and stuffed it into her mouth, the world finally became quiet.

"Bah bah!" Guan Xuejing hurriedly took out the citrus and stuffed it to her before peeling it. Was she trying to choke her to death?

"Why are you as noisy as my master?" Feng Jingsu felt psychologically shadowed by Jiang Fengmin's chatter.

"I just have a lot of questions." Guan Xuejing peeled the citrus, and looked at Feng Jingsu with big eyes seeking knowledge while eating.

Feng Jingsu slowly picked up another citrus, peeled off a large piece of skin, squeezed Guan Xuejing with her hand, and the juice from the orange peel rushed to Guan Xuejing's big eyes.

"I..." Seeing this, Guan Xuejing went to the room, she looked at Feng Jingsu in horror, "Senior sister, if you have something to say, please let me shut up, okay?"

Feng Jingsu thought this junior sister's reaction was quite amusing.She beckoned, signaling Guan Xuejing to come back and sit down.

Guan Xuejing came down from the room, and carefully sat back opposite Feng Jingsu.

"Elder Sister's martial arts was indeed abolished by 'Void'. Your so-called 'Jing Hanyou will not be so cruel' does not exist at all. It is Jing Hanyou who watched Senior Sister drink 'Void' with his own eyes. As for her martial arts being abolished How can you kill the crown prince?" She propped her head on her hands, showing a smile that was not a smile, "What do you think? Could it be that you can't kill a person like the crown prince without martial arts at this time?"

Guan Xuejing thought about this question very seriously. Although he was not sure, it should be possible to kill a person whose martial arts is not very high, if the other party is unprepared.But how to make the other party defenseless?That's the first disciple of Feiyejin Academy!

Guan Xuejing quickly figured out this question.The first disciple of Feiyejin Academy, this title is very famous in martial arts, but in the courts of various countries, honestly, not many people know Feiyejin.

I don’t know when countries began to send princesses, princesses and noble girls to study in Feiyejin, but what is the real use after finishing the studies? In fact, it is not very useful. After all, most of Feiyejin’s disciples are not entering the house. Disciple, what you have learned is limited, most of them are just doing the same thing as others.

Even so, countries are still willing to send people to Feiyejin. They probably think that Feiyejin is a big social circle. The people who send them back at least know a lot of things about many countries and have many friends from various countries.The real disciples, Yi Jiachenxu who went down the mountain two years ago, Feng Jingsu and Jing Hanyou who went down the mountain last year, plus those who went down the mountain this year, can be counted with two hands.The influence of these people in their own country has not really been revealed.

The prince obviously doesn't know what kind of ruthless character Chen Xu is. Although everyone agrees that Chen Xu is a soft-hearted person, her gentleness is only because she doesn't make shots often. Once she does, her speed and strength are unimaginable to ordinary people. . "Void" just abolished Chen Xu's internal strength. People like them who have practiced martial arts for ten years are much stronger than ordinary people without internal strength.

"The crown prince was careless." Of course Guan Xuejing was on Chen Xu's side.

Feng Jingsu didn't think so, "It doesn't matter if the prince is careless or not, if Chen Xu wants to deal with the prince, there will always be a way to make him careless."

Guan Xuejing's eyes widened, "Will the elder sister be in danger like this? Will the National Congress hand her over?" She covered her face with a frightened expression.

This exaggerated expression confused Feng Jingsu, "Are you so worried about Senior Sister?"

"No." Guan Xuejing rested her chin on the table, "Senior Sister, what do you think will happen if Li Guo handed over Senior Sister to protect himself?" She was just asking, not really asking Feng Jingsu to answer, "Your Majesty and Empress Dowager will definitely kill Eldest Sister, and Eldest Sister is incapable of protecting herself..." She hesitated at this point, "Let's treat her as incapable of self-defense, what do you think will happen next?"

Feng Jingsu finally understood what she meant. "The headmaster will go down the mountain."

"That's right!" Guan Xuejing jumped up, "Think about it, if the headmaster goes down the mountain, your master will go down the mountain with him. They will definitely save the elder sister, and then His Majesty will definitely not agree. Next..." She clutched her hands face, "Isn't it a terrible thing?"

Not only was it terrifying, Feng Jingsu couldn't help shivering.If those two people go down the mountain, whether or not the capital city of Yunguo can be kept is anyone's guess.What's more troublesome is that she is here, and she will be the first to bear the brunt of any anger in the head of the courtyard. She is caught between the two forces. She doesn't know about others, and she must have died properly.

"You and I know how much the headmaster protects her shortcomings. Chen Xu is her heart, and anyone who dares to touch her should look good." Guan Xuejing shook her head, "I admire Senior Sister Hanyou, isn't it good to be alive? seek death."

"So we must not let Liguo hand over the elder sister, otherwise we will be in trouble." Feng Jingsu found out that the follow-up troubles of this matter are actually here.But will the calendar country offend the neighboring country for the sake of a subjugated princess?

"To put it lightly, how can we prevent Li Guo from handing over the elder sister?" Guan Xuejing was not optimistic.

Feng Jingsu felt that there was still hope, she raised her eyebrows, "Then it depends on Jing Hanyou."

Six days later, news from the Li Kingdom came that Princess Roujia of the Li Kingdom, Jing Hanyou, would personally escort the coffin of Prince Yun back to the country, and discuss a solution to this matter.There was no mention of Chen Xu in the news. Obviously, Li Guo was not going to hand over Chen Xu.

The emperor was furious when he saw the news, and insisted that Li Guo hand over the murderer.There was no more news from the Li Kingdom, but news came from the border of the Yun Kingdom. Princess Roujia Jing Hanyou from the Li Kingdom led a team to escort the coffin of the prince and asked to enter.

If it were Jing Hanyou herself, the emperor would not let her enter the country at all.But there is the prince's coffin, so he can only order to let it go.

Feng Jingsu understood that Jing Hanyou came here in person to save Chen Xu, and as for how to keep Chen Xu, she had to help herself.What will happen if this matter is not settled?Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the palm of the hand goes down the mountain is like a sword hanging over Feng Jingsu's head, making her dare not be careless.

Feihua Xiaozhu.

Jiang Fengmin saw that the head of the courtyard finally no longer had paper-cutters, and asked happily, "Are you not angry anymore?"

The headmaster looked up, "Don't be angry anymore."

Jiang Fengmin just wanted to say that it's not good to stay bored in the room all the time to go out for a walk with the director to relax.But the master continued: "What's the use of being angry? Has Chen Xu's martial arts recovered? I heard that Chen Xu killed Prince Yun. It seems that she has not given up. This is my apprentice."

Jiang Fengmin shook his head, "Yun Kingdom is asking for someone from Li Kingdom."

The head courtyard smiled, and a soft light appeared on that delicate face, "Liguo has Hanyou, and Yunguo has Jingsu. If these two people can't keep Chen Xu together, you can accompany me to Yunguo."

Jiang Fengmin covered his face, "Don't worry, you will definitely survive."

The palm of the hand went down the mountain, and the earth was turned upside down.This is no joke.

Feng Jingsu was still thinking about how to help Jing Hanyou convince the emperor that the emperor had already asked her to go to Qinzheng Hall.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Feng Jingsu found that the emperor seemed to have aged a lot in just a few days.Even the straight back was bent down.

"Father, please mourn." Feng Jingsu sat aside after seeing the ceremony.

The emperor waved his hand to let all the waiters in the palace go down, only the father and daughter.

"Yun Yi, Princess Shun'en, who killed the prince, and Princess Roujia, who came here this time, are both your classmates. I want to hear your opinion on this matter." The emperor's voice was full of exhaustion.

Feng Jingsu was silent for a while, "When something happened to the crown prince, my father felt sad, and so did my son. It's just that there are some things that I don't understand very well, and I dare not tell my father. Now that my father asks, my son will naturally say it. If there is something that offends my father, I hope my father will forgive me."

The emperor nodded, "I've heard too many words of revenge, and some people asked me to declare war on the Li kingdoms. I called you here because I want to hear what you say that is different from them."

"Father, Yi Jiachenxu and Jing Hanyou are all disciples of the head of the academy, especially Yi Jiachenxu, whether it is martial arts or strategy, he is the top among the disciples of the academy. Although Yi Guo died, it is not her fault. Today She lives in the imperial palace of Li Kingdoms, presumably because of Jing Hanyou's shelter, she kills people rashly at this time, and she is still the prince of our country, which is really not what ordinary people should do." The reason why Feng Jingsu didn't come to speak for Chen Xu early in the morning was because she wanted to Let the emperor's sad and impulsive emotions slow down, she has always been a calm and intelligent person in the emperor's heart, so she wants to say some neutral remarks at this time.

"You mean there's something else going on in this matter?" The emperor shook his head, "But no matter what the inside story is, she shouldn't have killed the prince!" Thinking of the death of the successor he had trained for so many years, the emperor couldn't help being excited.

"Father." Feng Jingsu hurried over to help the emperor calm down, "Father calm down."

The emperor waved his hand, "I'm fine, you can continue."

"Father, Yi Jiachenxu has lost his martial arts, how can he kill the prince? And I heard that the incident happened in the aunt's palace. The aunt is naturally protecting the prince. There is such a huge gap between the widow and the widow. How did Yi Jiachenxu succeed?" What about it?" She lowered her head, "Father is right, no matter what kind of inside information there is, Yi Jiachenxu's killing the prince is a capital crime. A subjugated person who kills the prince of another country in the palace of an enemy country will be punished! "

Although the emperor was still in grief, he understood the meaning of Feng Jingsu's words. There was something else going on about this matter. The official news from Liguo and the private news from Concubine Feng all said Yi Jiachenxu After killing the prince, he didn't say why Yi Jiachenxu wanted to kill the prince.It seems that the focus of this matter is here.It's easy to investigate this matter, but the emperor didn't investigate it, and when Princess Roujia of the Li Kingdom came, he would know as soon as he asked.

Because of the killing of the crown prince, Prime Minister Xue is also very busy during this period, and the domestic situation has become complicated. In addition, the emperor has not been interested in political affairs recently. As the prime minister, he must stabilize the situation at this time.

In the backyard, Xue Ai still didn't come out of Pingle Pavilion, and now she finally didn't have to embroider dowry.The crown prince was killed, and although she hadn't been married, she was married, and there were already rumors in the capital that Xue Ai's fate was ominous.
