The Empire and the Kingdom

When Feng Jingsu returned to Shenhe Palace, she wrote a letter and sent it back to Feiyejin Academy. The roll call was for Xiao Changyu, the deputy director.After thinking about it, she was afraid that her master would make trouble, so she wrote another letter to greet her master, Jiang Fengmin.

It is of course extraordinary that Xiao Changyu is able to sit in the position of the deputy head of the academy.She is the former empress of Yuan Kingdom. She abdicated and came to Feiyejin more than ten years ago. At first, she was not the deputy head of the academy, but just doing odd jobs in the academy.

Listen to this, let an emperor do odd jobs in the academy, besides Fei Yejin, who else has such a big platoon?Later, Xiao Changyu was responsible for more and more things, and gradually became the deputy director.Even so, Xiao Changyu has not been in charge in recent years. His disciples have grown up, and these masters have begun to live a life of retirement.

Xiao Changyu has lived in Tao Qingli's courtyard for more than ten years, and he is really afraid that others will not know that they are a couple.

Although Xiao Changyu abdicated, Yuan Guo was still in awe of the Supreme Emperor, and sent some tributes from time to time, and invited the Supreme Emperor to return to the country several times a year, so compared to the number of times Xiao Changyu went down the mountain when the head of the academy had not gone down for more than ten years is very frequent.

If you often go down the mountain, it is not impossible to take in a wild apprentice.If Hei Ying was really Xiao Changyu's apprentice, then Feng Jingsu probably guessed who it was.

The pigeons bred by Fei Yejin can send letters much faster than ordinary pigeons.The head of the courtyard never raises idlers, even if they are pigeons, if they can't work hard to prove their worth, then probably... they will become a delicacy in some master's bowl.

In the words of her master Jiang Fengmin, "The flowers, plants, trees, birds and beasts within the range of Feiyejin are all spiritual, otherwise they will be rejected by the head of the academy and then wiped out." This is said in front of the young girls who have just entered the academy , and then these pampered and spoiled women of heaven began to tremble.They are not afraid of being rejected, they are afraid of being eliminated.

In the Feng family, Zhenniang's mouth is very hard, and the two young masters of the Feng family interrogated in turn but did not find any useful information. It is impossible to delay like this, and if it is impossible, they will report to the police.At the critical moment, Feng Qianzi had to step in.Facing her kidnapper, Feng Qianzi didn't have any psychological pressure, even Zhenniang felt strange.

"You're not afraid of me?"

Feng Qianzi smiled and said: "Now you are a prisoner and I am a guest, what am I afraid of you?" She waved her hand, and there were only her and Zhenniang left in the room.The Feng family was worried, but they had to listen. Feng Qianzi had the absolute right to speak in the Feng family.

"If I can get out of trouble now, wouldn't you have thrown yourself into a trap?" Zhenniang was already struggling to break the rope.

Feng Qianzi actually nodded, "You're right." A nail appeared in her hand, a very long iron nail. "Someone taught me that as long as I put this iron nail into your Qihai Cave, your martial arts will not be abolished, but at least your internal strength will not be able to gather." She took the iron nail and approached Zhenniang, " I haven't tried it yet, can I use you to test it? If it doesn't work, I can beat her." Her expression was extremely serious, like a child asking for an answer to a question she was curious about.

Zhenniang's eyes widened, what are you kidding?With such a long iron nail, it will kill you if you stick it in!

"You are using lynching indiscriminately! Your Feng family is a well-educated and well-educated Qingliu family..." She wanted to say more, but Feng Qianzi pinched her chin, and immediately pinched back the words behind her.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you say it or not. I know who sent you. I just want to give you a chance to live. If you don't want it, just kill it. At that time, I will also have a way to let your corpse help you." I will testify." She lowered her head and was still looking for Zhenniang's Qihai point.

"Miss Feng, you are always so confident, but this time you will never guess!" Zhenniang sneered.

Feng Qianzi rummaged on Zhenniang's stomach, but still couldn't find the exact acupuncture point.She raised her head, "Really? I can't guess what? Can't guess that you belong to the third prince?"

Zhenniang's sneer seemed to be frozen on her face, which was extremely weird.

Feng Qianzi knew that she guessed right. "Do you know why I, a girl, can have the upper hand in Feng's family?" She asked suddenly.

Zhenniang still maintained a sneer expression, but now she looked extremely stiff.

"That's because I'm smart enough to guess everything right." Feng Qianzi stood up and clapped her hands, and Bai Fang and Mo Yuan at the door came in immediately, and they were relieved after seeing that Feng Qianzi was safe and sound.

"Miss."

Feng Qianzi threw the iron nail in her hand to Bai Fang, "I didn't find the Qihai acupoint, so go and see."

Bai Fang grinned, "Miss, I can't find the slaves either."

"It's okay." Feng Qianzi didn't care at all, "If you make a mistake, tie it again." She glanced at Zhenniang, "You won't die so soon, will you?"

Zhenniang was angry, how did she have the nerve to ask this?What do you take her for?

Bai Fang was really obedient, and came over with the iron nails in hand. He and Mo Yuan touched Zhenniang's belly, as if they were measuring where it would be better to drive the nails.

Zhenniang was really scared this time.If these were two experts, she would not be afraid, after all, the other party would know in their hearts if they wanted her to die or to live, and they would act with discretion.But when these two laymen started to fight, they really followed their feelings, and they had to rely on their fate to live or die.Zhenniang is not afraid of death, and if she is afraid of death, she can't do this business, but she doesn't want to die like a joke.

"Stop! What do you want to know, I say it's okay?" Zhenniang felt that she was going to be driven crazy by these two maids, and she was really afraid that they would drive a nail into her belly button.

Bai Fang and Mo Yuan looked up at Feng Qianzi, Feng Qianzi waved her hand, and they retreated to her side. "Go and ask the elder brother and the third younger brother to come and listen."

Zhenniang is the assassin invited by the third prince. What's interesting is that this person is from the Ling country, and she was connected by Jiang Ruwei, the princess of Ningyang.This Princess Ningyang didn't just come here for a competition, she came to stir up the wind and rain, and when it was over, she returned to the country, leaving Yun Country a mess.Zhenniang's order was to kidnap Feng Qianzi and send her to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Another murder with a borrowed knife.As Xue Ai analyzed, the prince died, and the second prince became the eldest son, at least half of the qualifications to be established as the prince.What if the second prince died too?The eldest son belongs to the third prince.

In fact, this matter has little to do with the Feng family, the third prince would have Feng Qianzi's idea, mainly because Wang Guifei intended for the fifth prince to marry Feng Qianzi.Although the Feng family refused, but Wang Guifei may not give up.

If Feng Qianzi was found to appear in the fifth prince's mansion, Feng Qianzi's reputation would definitely be ruined first, and the only remedy was to marry the fifth prince.If it was someone else's family, they would probably do this, but this is the Feng family, the Feng family is upright, and they all have a temperament that would rather bend than bend. Feng Qianzi would not agree, and the Feng family would not agree.

Then this matter will definitely cause trouble. At that time, the fifth prince will not be able to tell clearly. Everyone knows that the fifth prince is just a puppet, and this matter will involve the second prince and Wang Guifei.The Feng family held a lot of weight in the emperor's heart. As long as the Feng family did not let go, the second prince would not die, but it was absolutely impossible to become the prince.

And the third prince has Princess Lingguo and the concubine daughter of the Guan family. It seems that the power is not enough, but it is actually very strong.This plan is not bad. Once the first step is successfully carried out, the follow-up will come like a wave. When the time comes, Wang Guifei, the second prince, and the fifth prince are not prepared enough, and they will be killed by surprise.The third prince used the excuse of preparing for the wedding and sat behind the scenes. When the wedding is held in the next year, he will be in a different situation.

Feng Qianzi analyzed the whole plan in this way, Master Feng and the three young masters of the Feng family nodded frequently.Then the four men slapped the table together, "It's too outrageous. Their struggle for power and profit actually targeted our Feng family. Do you think the Feng family is easy to bully?"

Facing the four angry men, Feng Qianzi was very calm.There is one thing that the third prince was wrong about. The upright people in Feng's family are only men, and she is not a straight person.She didn't care about how her father and brotherhood would handle this matter, she just went to sue the emperor. Although it seemed that she didn't care about the timing and tact, this was the Feng family's style, and it was also what the emperor valued about the Feng family.These days, there are very few people who can be a pure minister.

Feng Qianzi went back to her room, thinking about the few remaining princes, who is a good candidate for succession.She will not fight for imperial power, but she also needs to have her own judgment.For example, the second prince, the third prince and his like, once they succeed to the throne, not only herself, but the entire Feng family will be in trouble, which is not what she wants to see.

If the second prince, third prince, and fifth prince didn't think about it, the fourth prince never showed his face, showing no temper at all.The sixth prince heard that he was talented, and in order to save his sister, Princess Wen Chun, he planned to marry Xue Zhi, Feng Qianzi felt that he was not a great talent.As for the seventh prince... Feng Qianzi pouted, she was not optimistic about the queen's son.

Feng Qianzi spread her hands, and she just disappeared?She doesn't like any prince.This is how to do?Do we have to pin our hopes on that ambitious Princess Yunyi?To be honest, compared to these princes, Feng Qianzi felt that Princess Yun Yi's succession to the throne was more beneficial to her and the Feng family.It's just that this kind of thing is too difficult.She had already noticed that before she knew it, her heart had turned to Feng Jingsu's side.

"Oh!" Feng Qianzi sighed.

After Xue Zhi's incident, Wang family seemed to have lost the focus of life all of a sudden, staying in Xihai all day, unable to come out, and there was no life in the yard.Although Mrs. Pan was quite frightened by Xiang Xue's operation, she couldn't help gloating afterwards.The Wang family is always full of arrogance relying on his good family background.Although Mr. Xue suppressed him and dared not make trouble in front of her, she could see the disdain in his eyes.Now that Xue Zhi dared to murder the princess in a daze, it would be good to save her life.She also warned Xue Ying in private more than once, never to provoke Xue Ai again.

Xue Ying was also honest now, she realized the power of imperial power for the first time.Xue Zhi changed Xue Ai's medicine before, which almost killed Xue Ai, and Xue Xiang just grounded Xue Zhi.This time, before Feng Jingsu suffered any substantial harm, Xue Zhi was sent to become a monk. Feng Jingsu's subordinates were merciful. Imperial power was really not something that ordinary people could contend with.But when I thought about it, I was about to join that ranks.When she becomes the daughter-in-law of the royal family, she will say whoever offends her at that time wants to harm her, and who will dare to refute at that time?

Xue Ying realizes the horror of imperial power, and at the same time desires it even more.

Although Xue Xiang dealt with Xue Zhi vigorously, he also began to reflect on his five daughters.Before, he thought that although Pan's ability was insufficient, he didn't have much expectations, as long as he taught his daughters to be well-educated, it was enough.Unexpectedly, these daughters are not only ignorant of brotherly love, but also selfish, indulgent, and ignorant of awe.He understood that he had lost two daughters, and the remaining three daughters could no longer grow up in such a foolish way.

Xue Ai is smart, and she was treated harshly since she was a child, but it made her understand the importance of family glory, and she also knows how to be grateful and considerate. At present, she is the one he feels most at ease and the one he feels most guilty about.

Although Xue Ruo is a bit petty, fortunately he is still young and Jiang's background is low, so he can't educate Xue Ruo well, but he dare not teach Xue Ruo badly, there is still time to teach him well.

Xue Yi has a calm temperament, he doesn't like the gossip and wrongs of the back house, and he has his own ideas. He should be a malleable talent, and it is also the one that Xue Xiang has the most high hopes for at present.

Thinking of this, he made a decision.

Mrs. Pan heard that from the end of the year, the ladies are not allowed to meet with their birth mothers at will, and the mansion will hire nuns from the palace to teach them.Her heart that was suspended was instantly let go when she heard that Xue Ying was not within this range.Thinking about it, Xue Ying is going to get married in the next year, so why teach her?As for the other three, she didn't intend to teach them at first, it would be better if they don't meet each other, to save worry.

When Wang heard that she would not be able to see Xue Yi casually, she cried again.She has only two daughters, Xue Zhi is not in the mansion, Xue Yi is her only hope, and now they can't meet each other easily, so what hope is there for these long years?It's just that she didn't dare to say anything more, she knew that Xue Xiang made this decision because of Xue Zhi.

Mrs. Jiang just nodded when she heard the news, "Your father is doing it for your own good. Mother is not very capable, so she can't teach you to be a lady of the family. Originally studying in separate schools, mother always felt that you were at a disadvantage. I heard that you three years later The sisters are studying at the same place, so you are taking advantage of it, and you have to fight for it." Hearing what Jiang said, Xue Ruo, who was not willing at first, didn't say anything anymore.

What happened to Xue Zhi made everyone in the Xiangfu honest.

Regarding Xue Xiang's decision, Xue Ai didn't feel any disturbance in his heart, because Feng Jingsu told her that he would get her by his side as soon as possible.Every time I think of this, Xue Ai's face will be filled with a happy smile.

She has nothing to miss about this family.Her father was fairly fair, but he didn't take care of her too much. Every time he was bullied terribly, he would only take care of it if it would affect the reputation of the Xiangfu.She doesn't resent her father. As the prime minister of a country, her father has too many things to deal with.She doesn't even resent Pan Shi, she just pities Pan Shi, that kind of brain should be very painful in such a prime minister's mansion.

She knew the path she was going to take, the road ahead was bumpy and dangerous, she didn't put so much thought into the back house, it was best to get rid of it, and she didn't want her sisters to turn against each other and treat them like enemies.

After Guan Xuejing learned of the results of Feng's interrogation, she immediately ran to the Garrison Mansion to tell Feng Jingsu. "I didn't expect it was the third prince who did it. I thought it was the second prince." Guan Xuejing took out peanuts from her purse and said while eating.

Feng Jingsu saw that she was eating well, so she also reached out to grab a handful, "Third brother is getting a bit of a wife and concubine. He thought that with the amulet of Princess Ling, the father wouldn't dare to do anything to him?" She Laughing, "Actually, there is no need to do anything. The prince is still the prince, but he has no destiny for the throne."

"Otherwise, there is no chance." Guan Xuejing said while eating.

Feng Jingsu stopped chewing peanuts, and stared at Guan Xuejing in a daze.

"Am I wrong?" Guan Xuejing was not confident.

Feng Jingsu shook her head and smiled, "You are so right! So the third brother has no psychological burden. If you succeed, you can still fight. If you don't succeed, you can be a prince with peace of mind. When you get old, you can tell your heroic deeds to me. Sons and grandchildren, listen."

"That's right." Guan Xuejing thought so.

Master Feng made a memorial and reported this matter to the emperor.Not revealing this matter in the early court was the last face he left for the royal family.

After reading the memorial, the emperor called Master Laifeng to inquire in person, and brought Zhenniang to question him face-to-face.

The emperor comforted Lord Feng first, then called the third prince to reprimand him, and then what?If the third prince didn't want to marry Princess Heqin, the emperor would send him to Zongzheng Temple.But now that the wedding date has been set, and they will get married in the next year, Ling Guo also wants to save face by locking up the groom.

"For the sake of the relationship between the two countries, I will not punish you. But remember, my country will never be handed over to you." The emperor was very angry, and pulled the third prince who was kneeling and crying, "Be a good husband to Princess Shaoyang." , this is your only use now."

When the emperor got angry, even his own son couldn't resist.This matter was not only handled quickly, but also silently.Except for the emperor, the third prince and the Feng family, no one knew that the third prince had changed from a lucky man who got a wife and concubine into a tool man to stabilize the relationship between the two countries.Fang Zhaoyi is still sitting and helping the third prince to take the throne, dreaming of the Queen Mother herself.

No matter what kind of thoughts everyone has, time still passes day by day.The end of the new year was approaching, and Wang thought of Xue Zhi in the mountains, and bravely begged Xue Xiang to take Xue Zhi home to celebrate the new year.Xue Xiang refused without even thinking about it, Xue Zhi has already become a monk, and has no home, how can outsiders have a home to return to?
