Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen
Chapter 142 Leaving Beijing to Suppress Bandits
After the thanksgiving banquet, the housekeeper ordered someone to carry Feng Shuyao to Yiyuan.
Feng Shuyao was drowsy and felt someone moving her. When she woke up from her daze, she found herself in a dark and small room.
Zhinan cries beside her bed.
Feng Shuyao looked around and saw that this was not the Xilingxuan where she usually lived. The furnishings in the room were simple, without even a decent piece of furniture. The air was still filled with dust and a musty smell from not having lived here for a long time. She spoke hoarsely:
"Water, I want to drink water."
Zhinan heard her voice, wiped his tears and asked:
"Miss, are you awake? You want some water? I'll go get you some."
She rushed to the table, picked up the teapot, which was empty, and shouted outside:
"Xiao Yuan, go make some hot tea."
Xiaoyuan was a little maid arranged by the housekeeper to serve Feng Shuyao, the concubine of the emperor.
The original maid of Xilingxuan could not be ordered around by Feng Shuyao due to her current status. Zhinan was her dowry, so naturally she had to come along.
But she had become like this, and had fallen out of favor in the eyes of the people in the palace. Xiaoyuan no longer spoiled her. When she heard Zhinan shouting, she kicked open the door and walked in with a broom:
"Why are you yelling? Can't you see I'm busy? Go boil the water yourself if you want it! As an unloved woman, don't expect to have someone to serve you like before. Don't bother me with serving tea or water in the future!"
After she finished scolding, she went to the yard to sweep the fallen leaves.
Zhinan stomped his feet in anger, and had no choice but to go to the kitchenette and bring a bowl of cold water to Feng Shuyao's bedside.
"Miss, moisten your throat first. I will go and boil some hot water later."
Feng Shuyao drank the ice-cold water and her heart felt like it was sinking into an ice cellar.
From the maid's scolding, she roughly understood what was going on.
"Has the prince demoted me to a concubine?"
Zhinan nodded while crying.
Feng Shuyao said: "I suffered this disaster, and my father's situation must be even worse. Do you know how he was treated?"
Zhinan shook his head: "This servant has been guarding the young lady and cannot go out, so I don't know yet."
Feng Shuyao said, "Please find out more about my father and think of a way to have Bai Huazang come to see me at night."
Zhinan said: "Miss, aren't you going to think about it in the long run?"
Feng Shuyao said weakly: "I can't wait any longer, I must have a baby tonight!"
There is still a chance, as she and Xie Yan have not been separated for long.
At night, Bai Huazang came to Yiyuan away from anyone's sight.
Feng Shuyao was lying on the bed.
He didn't expect that the cousin he had been thinking about for more than ten years would appear in this way. God was kind to him.
The room is full of spring.
Feng Shuyao was still injured and could not withstand the torture, so she fainted in the second half of the night.
The next day.
Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan were ordered to go to Cang County.
Shang Yuwan learned that Xie Jin went to Cang County, and Ye Lin happened to be there too, so she was implicated, so she quietly slipped out of the palace and followed him.
This time, she must help Prince Rong no matter what and make Xie Jin look at her with new eyes!
A day later, Cang County Magistrate Wang Liangcai learned that the God of War Rong Wang had come to suppress the bandits, so he led all the yamen runners and the people of Cang County to line the streets to welcome him, smiling respectfully:
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Rong and Miss Feng. This time, Your Royal Highness is leading the troops to suppress the bandits in Cang County. I believe that the group of people in Black Wind Village will be wiped out soon, and the people of Cang County can live in peace."
He said a series of flattering words, Xie Jin said:
"Report the situation of the bandits."
Wang Liangcai stopped smiling and got down to business:
"Your Highness, here's what happened. There's a big mountain behind Cang County called Yangshan. Half a month ago, a group of a hundred or so bandits came from nowhere and gathered at the Black Wind Village in Yangshan.
There used to be a temple on the village, but it later fell into disrepair and was occupied by mountain bandits. Below the Black Wind Village, there is a Black Wind Pass, which is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. To get to the Black Wind Village, you have to go up from there. So far, forty or fifty people have been reported missing and taken to the mountains. "
Jiang Qu said: "Forty or fifty people were arrested in just half a month. How do you, the officials, do your work?"
Wang Liangcai said in embarrassment:
"Sir Guard, it's not that we don't do our job, it's that the bandits are really vicious. They come with great force and commit crimes frequently. Officials from several surrounding counties and districts have organized two large-scale operations to suppress the bandits in the mountains, and there is no doubt that there were heavy casualties.
They set up an ambush at the Black Wind Pass, making it difficult to attack the Black Wind Village, so we had no choice but to report to the court and ask them to send capable people to help solve the problem."
What he didn't expect was that His Majesty would send Prince Rong. Those little bandits would not have many days of happy days left.
Feng Qingluan said, "You said they occupied the Black Wind Village half a month ago. Didn't you find anything unusual before that? There are quite a lot of these people. They can't just appear out of thin air."
Wang Liangcai said, "Miss Feng, I don't know about this. Yangshan is so big, it's not certain that they entered the mountain from other places."
Feng Qingluan asked a few more questions, but Wang Liangcai either couldn't answer them or gave ambiguous answers. It was obvious that he was not trying his best to suppress the bandits and was waiting for the court to send people to deal with them.
Since there was nothing more to be asked from him, Xie Jin said:
"Lead the way to Black Wind Pass."
The group walked out of the county government gate.
At the door, Shang Yuwan saw Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan, and walked over quickly in surprise:
"Your Highness Prince Rong, what a coincidence, you are also in Cang County?"
She pretended to meet him by accident.
Feng Qingluan held back her laughter. She wanted to say something but didn't. Shang Yuwan was arrogant and domineering, but her heart to pursue a man was extremely strong. No matter how cold Xie Jin's attitude towards her was, she never lost heart and became more and more courageous.
Shang Yuwan thought that after she greeted Xie Jin, he would ask her why she was here, but Xie Jin said:
"Does anyone in Gaoyang Palace know that you are in Cang County?"
Shang Yuwan said calmly:
"I know. Ye Lin is from Cang County. I sent her back. I knew there were bandits here, so I stayed one more day to see if I could help. I wanted to get rid of the harm to the people, but I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness Prince Rong. By the way, His Royal Highness brought so many soldiers. Are you ordered to come here to suppress the bandits?"
Xie Jin passed by her and said, "This has nothing to do with you. Go back."
He walked forward, and Feng Qingluan walked beside him.
Wang Liangcai heard the words "Gaoyang Palace". Although he had never seen Shang Yuwan before, he could tell that she was of a high status. He winked at the person behind him and a constable came up to ask:
"Miss, who are you?"
Shang Yuwan threw the reins to him:
"I am Princess Heyan of the Gaoyang Palace. Please arrange a room for me. I want to stay here for a while."
She had secretly followed him to Cang County without telling her father, mother and brother. How could Xie Jin let her go?
That is impossible!
Shang Yuwan trotted up and followed behind Xie Jin, recommending herself:
"Your Highness, I have been to Yangshan several times and am quite familiar with it. I might be able to help you. Don't worry, I came here on my own initiative. No matter what happens, I will take full responsibility and will never cause trouble to Your Highness Prince Rong."
Didn’t His Royal Highness Prince Rong chase her away because he was worried that something might happen to her?
Does that mean that Prince Rong still cares about her very much, but is just not good at expressing it, which is why he is so cold?
Shang Yuwan's self-guided tour.
She walked up to Feng Qingluan and nudged her with her arm, her eyes filled with provocation and declaration of war.
Feng Qingluan rolled her eyes speechlessly and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Everyone arrived at the foot of Yangshan Mountain and were about to enter the mountain when they met another person.
Feng Qingluan was surprised. Why was she here?
