Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Xie Jin came to the palace in person to snatch people away. Even if he wanted to vent his anger on Feng Qingluan, he had to consider his presence.

Twenty strokes of the cane are enough to show their respect, and it will be enough to make Feng Qingluan feel uncomfortable for a while.

Xie Jin said calmly: "Brother, are you sure you want to do this?"

As soon as he said this, the faces of the people in the room changed.

The Queen's heart was beating like a gong.

Emperor Xia Ming was being watched by so many people that he couldn't save face for a moment.

Xie Jin contradicted him, was he trying to rebel?

Feeling the murderous aura coming from Xie Jin, Emperor Xia Ming felt that his dignity as an emperor was challenged.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Queen Li quickly tried to smooth things over and said:

"Your Majesty, Miss Feng is a girl, and her wedding to Prince Rong is coming up. She will have to rest for several months after being beaten with twenty sticks. If word gets out that her engagement with Prince Rong has been postponed, the people will think something is wrong with the royal family.

Besides, the Emperor's birthday is coming soon, and peace is the most important thing. How about this, in my opinion, we should postpone the punishment of Feng Qingluan until she marries Prince Rong, so that Miss Feng can make up for her mistakes and find out the culprit who ordered Xiao Fuzi to poison and murder Your Majesty? Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The queen was very worried about avoiding conflict between the emperor and Xie Jin.

The suggestion she made was very reasonable. She hoped that Emperor Xia Ming would be able to come down the stairs.

Emperor Xia Ming looked at Xie Jin, and their eyes met. Everyone could feel the lightning-fast exchange in their gazes. The others all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him again.

Emperor Xia Ming was already burning with rage at this moment.

No matter what he did in the past, Xie Jin would never comment or interfere.

This time he disobeyed him to the end for Feng Qingluan. It seems that Feng Qingluan has a special place in his heart.

If he really beat Feng Qingluan with a stick, I wonder what his younger brother would do for her.

Xie Jin has an army of 200,000 men, and he hasn't found a chance to take them back yet, so he can't break off relations with him for the time being.

Emperor Xia Ming adjusted his mood and said:

"Since the Queen has said so, I will not punish you for now. Feng Qingluan, you can come and receive the punishment after you marry Prince Rong! As for investigating the person who poisoned me, Commander Xian will do it. I am tired, all of you can go down."

Emperor Xia Ming closed his eyes.

Several imperial doctors also felt relieved.

They were really worried just now, fearing that Emperor Xia Ming and Prince Rong would have a conflict.

Fortunately, the queen was there to prevent something irreversible from happening.

The poisoning was finally accomplished and everyone went outside.

The Queen said to Feng Qingluan:

"Qingluan, regarding the punishment, I will advise His Majesty that this incident came about strangely and caused you to suffer an unprovoked disaster. I will urge Xianying to find out the real mastermind and clear your name."

Feng Qingluan said: "Thank you, Queen."

The Queen helped her today, and she will remember this favor.

Feng Qingluan and Xie Jin walked towards the palace gate.

On the way, Feng Qingluan felt that Xie Jin was always looking at her, and his gaze was so hot that it seemed to burn a hole in her.

Arriving at the palace gate, Feng Qingluan couldn't help but ask him:

"What are you looking at?"

Xie Jin said: "Look at you."

Feng Qingluan: "I'm fine, right?"

Xie Jin said: “Yeah.”

Feng Qingluan felt a little warm in her heart.

If Xie Jin hadn't entered the palace just now, she would have really had to break into the palace, and things would have been out of control.

"Thank you for helping me."

Xie Jin asked: "How do I thank you?"

Feng Qingluan thought for a moment and said, "I'll treat you to a meal."

She has known a lot of delicious food in modern times, but Xie Jin has never tasted those delicious foods.

Xie Jin said: "It is better to go now than to wait for a better day."

It was almost lunch time.

Feng Qingluan said, "No, let's change the time. I will invite you to the Marquis' Mansion after I prepare the ingredients. My grandmother saw me being 'invited away' by the palace people, so I have to go back and tell her that I am safe."

Xie Jin said: "I will come to the Marquis' Mansion to see you in the evening."

After the two of them made an agreement, Feng Qingluan got on the carriage.

The wheels moved forward.

Feng Qingluan reviewed what happened in the palace.

The emperor didn't allow her to investigate the murderer, and it was very likely that he had instructed Xiao Fuzi.

Xiao Fuzi was the adopted son of Yuan Chao, the chief eunuch of the palace. He had considerable power and status among the eunuchs in the palace. What could have bribed him to commit such a capital crime?

That must be the order of the current emperor.

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

Xiao Fuzi was a pitiful person, so if Emperor Xia Ming agreed to the Queen's suggestion and asked her to investigate the real culprit behind the incident, she probably wouldn't find any clues.

Letting Xianying investigate is just to put an end to this matter.

As for the punishment she will receive after the marriage, we will talk about it later.

Feng Qingluan was holding up her head to think about something, when suddenly the carriage staggered and she lost her seat and hit the wall.

Outside, there was the sound of horses neighing.

Feng Qingluan asked: "What's wrong?"

The horse was frightened and ran around on the street. Xue Zimo had to pull the reins tightly to make it stop.

"Miss, there are a lot of people in front, it seems something happened."

A woman rushed out of Baihua Tower, followed by a group of people chasing her.

A group of people bumped into the carriage, causing the horses to be frightened.

Feng Qingluan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. In front of her, there were many people gathered at the Baihua Tower, watching the fun.

A group of people dressed like guards were holding a beautiful woman and walking back.

The woman cried with tears in her eyes and shouted for help and to call the police.

The group of men showed no mercy to her and dragged her towards a carriage.

At this time, a man came out from Baihua Tower and shouted to stop them:

"Stop! Don't touch Mei Niang!"

Feng Qingluan saw the person, it was Liao Luoling.

Liao Luoling pushed the men to rescue the beautiful woman.

Those people pushed her away rudely and violently.

Liao Luoling lost his balance and fell backwards, about to hit the ground.

Feng Qingluan said: "Zi Mo!"

Xue Zimo flew forward and put his hand on Liao Luoling's back to support her. Liao Luoling stopped stumbling and looked back at him:

"Guard Xue?"

Looking back, I saw Feng Qingluan getting out of the carriage.

Liao Luoling's face lit up with joy, and she ran over excitedly:

"Sister Qingluan, you came at the right time. Mei Niang is my good friend. These people want to take her away by force. Please help her."

Feng Qingluan looked at the group of guards. Mei Niang was beautiful and cried for mercy:

"I won't go with you. I didn't agree. Please let me go, sir."

A big man with a beard said:

"It's your blessing to be favored by our young master. You're crying as if we forced you to buy her. It's the madam who made you spend the night with our young master in order to make money. If you cry again, I'll have someone stuff your mouth and take her to the carriage!"

The madam of Baihualou chased after him and advised:

"Mei Niang, it's just one night. Lonely Young Master looks gentle and rich, you won't suffer any loss. Serve him well and wait for him to come back tomorrow. Mom will give you a day off to rest."

As they were arguing, a young man dressed in moon-white brocade clothes and holding a folding fan walked out of Baihua Tower.

The man had a handsome appearance, a tall figure, and he looked like a nobleman. It was obvious at first glance that he was the son of a powerful family.

When Liao Luoling saw him coming out, he pulled Feng Qingluan and said anxiously:

"Sister Qingluan, it's him. His name is Lonely Young Master. As soon as he arrived at Baihua Tower, he ordered the courtesan Mei Niang to take away. Mei Niang has suffered enough and cannot be abused by him. Sister Qingluan, you must save her."

While she was speaking, Master Lonely noticed this side. When his gaze moved to Feng Qingluan's face, Master Lonely raised his eyebrows slightly.

Is there such a beautiful woman in the capital?

He gently waved his folding fan and walked towards Feng Qingluan with a warm smile.
