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

The man in black raised a sword and rushed towards Feng Shuyao!

Feng Shuyao and Zhinan huddled in the corner of the bed. When danger came, Feng Shuyao subconsciously grabbed Zhinan and blocked him in front of her!

Zhinan was scared to death, and when the sword came at him, he dodged to the side with an overwhelming desire to survive.

The assassin's first strike missed.

When he was about to launch a second attack, a hidden weapon shot out from behind him!

The assassin dodged to the side.

Xie Yan came in from outside and pierced the assassin's chest with a sword. The blood spurted out and splashed all over Feng Shuyao's face.

When Feng Shuyao saw Xie Yan, she felt like she saw a god. She threw herself into Xie Yan's arms, fearful and crying.

"My lord, you are here."

She was trembling all over, but Xie Yan did not push her away. He pulled the bed curtain to wipe the blood off the sword.

Zhinan got off the bed and knelt on the ground.

She calmed down a little, recalling how the young lady had pushed her out to block the sword in a hurry just now, something in Zhinan's heart changed.

Not long after Xie Yan appeared, all the assassins in the yard were strangled to death.

Liu Qi came in and reported:

"Your Majesty, everyone is dead, no one is alive."

Xie Yan asked, "Can you tell who sent this person?"

Liu Qi's voice was calm:

"Your Highness, it's the secret guards of the East Palace."

The secret guards of the Eastern Palace?

Hearing these words, Feng Shuyao was struck by lightning, and stared at Liu Qi with eyes wide open in disbelief:

"You said the prince sent someone to kill me?"

Liu Qi said, "Yes, ten secret guards. If the prince hadn't sent people from the palace to protect you, you would have been killed by the sword. When did you offend the prince? Why did he send secret guards to kill you?"

Liu Qi asked even though he knew the answer.

His master might want to know how Feng Shuyao would answer.

Feng Shuyao was certain that Xie Heng wanted to kill her to silence her. Her mind went blank and tears kept flowing down.

Why is it the prince?

She had done so much for Xie Heng and was devoted to him, even becoming Xie Yan's concubine for him and staying in the Prince of Chu's Mansion to be his spy without any regrets. She had devoted her whole heart and soul to him, and now she had to suffer so much. But the prince actually wanted to kill her?

why?

Seeing that her master's soul had been taken away, Zhinan answered for her:

“Guard Liu, the young lady has been staying at the Prince of Chu’s mansion. She rarely meets the Crown Prince, let alone interacts with him. It is impossible for her to offend him.

It is very likely that the prince learned that the girl was pregnant, and that she was carrying the prince's first child, the first grandson of His Majesty. The prince was afraid that the prince's child would threaten his position after it was born, so he sent someone to kill the girl. "

When she finished speaking, Xie Yan glanced at her.

With Feng Shuyao's stupid brain, she was able to hide in his house for half a year and secretly reveal his information to Xie Heng. This maid played an indispensable role.

Smarter than her master, her mind works faster.

Zhinan's statement is tenable. He was loyal to Feng Shuyao even when she was in trouble. This man cannot keep her for long.

After hearing Zhinan's words, Feng Shuyao finally regained some consciousness from the sadness and shock that Xie Heng sent assassins to kill her. She swallowed and choked up, saying:

"Your Highness, Zhinan is right. Fortunately, Your Highness came in time to save this slave and our child. Thank you very much, Your Highness."

Feng Shuyao's mind became clearer. Didn't she help the prince deliver the elixir that His Majesty wanted most, and did him a great service?

The prince should be very happy.

Could it be that he wanted to silence her because he stole it from Xie Yan and was afraid that Xie Yan would find out?

Thinking of this, Feng Shuyao asked:

"My Lord, did the banquet go well today?"

The gift Xie Yan was originally going to give to His Majesty was snatched away, and she didn't know what he gave to His Majesty instead.

Xie Yan smiled:

"It went smoothly. Father was very pleased with the gift I sent. He restored my freedom and my position. You also contributed to this. I will reward you. You and the child were frightened tonight, so have a good rest."

After Xie Yan finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Feng Shuyao to say anything else.

Looking at the room that suddenly became empty, Feng Shuyao burst into tears. She grabbed Zhinan:

"Zhi Nan, the prince wants to kill me. He wants to kill me."

Zhinan was also very sad:

"Miss, you have seen through the prince's true colors, right? He is a man who will destroy the bridge after crossing it, and will abandon the donkey after it has done its work. After this, you will not think about him anymore, right?"

Feng Shuyao burst into tears.

Still thinking about that heartless man?

"I want to, not only do I want to, I want to kill him with my own hands!"

Feng Shuyao swallowed her tears. If she had the chance, she would seek revenge on the prince.

the next morning.

Di Manli came to Qingboyuan:

"Sister, I heard that your courtyard was attacked by an assassin last night. The prince specially asked me to send you some clothes and jewelry to calm you down."

Looking at the rows of exquisite jewelry and hairpins, Feng Shuyao's eyes became hot.

The only one who treated her well from beginning to end was the King of Chu.

She secretly swore in her heart that she would never let Xie Yan down again.

After the birthday incident, the envoys came to Beijing for the first time, and the officials took them to appreciate the customs and culture of the capital.

On this day, Feng Qingluan was planning a new menu in her room.

After having hotpot in the Marquis' Mansion that day, she promoted hotpot as a new dish in Yun's Restaurant. Unexpectedly, it was loved by the people of the capital and became a hit throughout the capital.

So Feng Qingluan asked the eight Yun restaurants in the capital to offer hot pot delicacies.

In addition, she also added modern dishes to enrich and update the restaurant's menu.

During this period, Yun's Restaurant became extremely popular and received wide acclaim, and at one point it became the most sought-after restaurant in the capital.

Feng Qingluan is making a schedule, planning to add three new dishes every month.

She was writing furiously in the study when Xue Zimo walked in with a serious expression:

"Miss, is there something wrong with the restaurant?"

Feng Qingluan put down her pen:

"what happened?"

Xue Zimo said, "Manager Liu from the Yun's Restaurant on East Street sent someone to the Marquis' Mansion to say that a customer found a dead rat in the hot pot and started a commotion in the street."

Dead rat?

Feng Qingluan frowned slightly, how is it possible?

She stood up: "Let's go and take a look."

The Yun’s Restaurant on East Street is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the capital. What happened here is no small matter.

Soon Feng Qingluan brought people to Yun’s Restaurant.

This restaurant has three floors in total. Because of the problem with the food, the entire street was filled with onlookers.

Feng Qingluan walked over quickly and saw a large group of people standing in front of the restaurant. Manager Liu was talking to them.

But his explanation was completely useless because the other party was too arrogant.

Feng Qingluan looked at the backs of this group of people from afar and felt that they looked familiar, so she walked in to take a look.

Sure enough it was him.

Xiao Yu!

Feng Qingluan paused:

"Song Ding, Song Xiu, you stay here."

The two Song brothers obeyed and stood behind the crowd.

Xue Zimo followed Feng Qingluan into the crowd and arrived at the lobby door.

"Shopkeeper Liu, what's going on?"

The shopkeeper saw the boss coming and explained with a bitter face:

"Boss, this young man came to the building at noon and ordered two tables of hot pot. Halfway through the meal, they said they found a dead rat in the hot pot.

Our restaurant's hygiene is up to standard. How could there be a rat in the boiling hot pot? It's simply impossible."

Just as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Zhang Zhen shouted at the top of his voice:

"You mean we threw dead rats into the hot pot on purpose?"

The shopkeeper's face darkened:

"Sir, that's not what I meant. There is a misunderstanding. This is too strange. Our hotpot has been launched for so long, there will definitely be no dead rats."

Zhang Zhen was furious: "Then it appeared, it has already happened, how do you say we should solve it?"

While Zhang Zhen was talking to the shopkeeper, Xiao Yu said nothing, staring at Feng Qingluan with a sinister smile in his eyes.
