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

Feng Zheng did not expect the punishment to come so quickly and be so severe. He hurriedly asked Hou Zhizhi:

"Sir, she is from the Chu Palace. How can you beat her with so many sticks? Stop it now."

Hou Zhizhi's face was stern. "Pan insulted the royal family in public, which was disrespectful to the royal family. This was a punishment personally ordered by the emperor. Even if the King of Chu went to plead for mercy, it would be useless. Feng Er, I still advise your wife to keep her mouth shut. If she says anything again, it won't be as easy as being beaten with a stick and put in jail."

Pan was still howling in pain: "Your Highness, the King of Chu, I want to see the King of Chu, you can't do this to me..."

After hearing what he said, Feng Zheng was so frightened that he ran to Pan Yulian to persuade her. At the beginning, after a few strokes of the board, Pan could still scream, but later her sound gradually became silent. By the time all thirty strokes of the board were completed, Pan's buttocks and back were covered in blood, and she had already fainted. She was dragged back to the cell like a dead dog.

Feng Zheng watched the entire execution with his own eyes. Seeing that Pan’s face was as pale as death, it took him a long time to remember to ask Liu Qi for help in calling a doctor.

Liu Qi looked at Hou Zhizhi, and Hou Zhizhi said, "For the sake of King Chu, allow the doctor to see her once." After that, he left the cell.

Xie Yan left Jingzhao Prefecture angrily and returned to the Prince of Chu's Palace.

Not long after, Liu Qi came back and reported to him the punishment ordered by His Majesty on Pan.

Xie Yan's face was grim. "Father has left me some face. He only spared half of Pan's life. Send someone to take care of it and let a doctor in to see her. I don't want to wait until Shu Yao wakes up and hears the news that her mother is dead."

Liu Qi responded, "Yes, Your Highness."

Xie Yan returned to the room. He didn't know when Feng Shuyao opened her eyes. "Shuyao, are you awake?"

Feng Shuyao opened her mouth, turned her neck and stared straight at Xie Yan.

"You said that Your Majesty took half of my mother's life, and Your Majesty punished her?"

Xie Yan said, “Shu Yao, don’t think too much. Bai Huazang said that you can’t be too emotional, otherwise it will be very dangerous.”

Feng Shuyao tightly grasped Xie Yan's hand, "Your Highness, tell me the truth, how did His Majesty deal with my mother? Is he going to exile her?"

Only then did she realize that her mother was not only insulting Feng Qingluan, but also the royal family represented by her title. If His Majesty knew about this, the consequences would be serious.

Seeing that Xie Yan didn't answer, Feng Shuyao propped herself up and tried to get out of bed, "I want to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to see my mother..."

She was extremely anxious, but she had no strength left. She sat up, felt dizzy, and fell back down again.

Xie Yan quickly supported her and said, "Shu Yao, she was not exiled. Father punished her with thirty strokes of the stick and imprisoned her in the Sky Prison for three months. My people were there during the execution, so she should not have suffered much."

An ordinary person would be in danger of death if beaten with twenty sticks, let alone thirty sticks. He would also have to stay in the cell for three months without proper treatment. Thinking of this, Feng Shuyao's face suddenly turned red, and she spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell into Xie Yan's arms.

Xie Yan suddenly felt something was wrong: "Shu Yao? Someone, go and call Doctor Bai."

Bai Hua hid in the kitchen and personally watched over the medicine for Feng Shuyao. The servant said that Feng Shuyao vomited blood and fainted. He quickly rushed back to Xilingxuan, checked her condition and said anxiously:

"Your Highness, the concubine is suffering from a heart attack caused by poison and anger. My method is no longer effective."

Hearing him say that there was no way to treat it, Xie Yan's eyes turned bloodshot and he grabbed Bai Huazang's collar:

"Aren't you a miracle doctor? You can't even cure a small poison. I order you to cure her quickly!"

Bai Huazang shook his head in pain, "Your Highness, it's no use. The concubine's poison has entered my heart and is traveling through my internal organs. I have no way to control it."

Xie Yan threw him away, "Useless trash, Liu Qi, go get the imperial physician!"

After receiving the order, Liu Qi took the badge given to him by Xie Yan and went to the Imperial Medical Bureau to invite Imperial Physician Meng and Imperial Physician Chen over.

These two were experts in detoxification at the Imperial Hospital. After seeing Feng Shuyao's condition, they both looked quite solemn and said to Xie Yan with regret:

"Your Highness, the concubine's poison is too deep and toxic, and I have no way to detoxify her."

Meng Hanlin also shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the black spots on Concubine's body have already formed, which means that the toxins in her body have completely erupted. Not to mention that she has missed the best time to detoxify, even if her poison has not completely erupted, there are very few people in the world who can detoxify it. At most, there is still one hour left, and Concubine..."

After getting their negative answers one after another, Xie Yan was so angry that he wanted to crush these old bones and roared:

"Don't you have any solution? The Imperial Hospital is the best, but they are all rubbish!"

Doctor Meng and Doctor Chen felt uncomfortable after being called over and scolded. Seeing that Xie Yan was furious, Meng Hanlin said:

"Your Highness, why don't you let the Princess of Chu give it a try? I have personally seen her perform surgery to cure Miss Liao of the Duke of Rong's Mansion of her heart disease. Maybe she can save the concubine."

Speaking of Feng Qingluan, Xie Yan's eyes changed, "Are you serious?"

Meng Hanlin said: "Yes, Miss Liao was also on the verge of death at that time, and it was the Princess of Chu who saved her from the brink of death. His Royal Highness Prince Rong was also present, and he can also testify."

Xie Yan thought Jiang Qu was giving Feng Qingluan a thank-you gift because she had a relationship with the Eighth Emperor's Uncle and was being praised. He didn't expect that what Meng Hanlin said about her saving someone was true. He rushed to Hengwu Garden and saw Feng Qingluan having lunch. He grabbed her hand and dragged her away:

"Come with me, Shu Yao is dying, go save her!"

Just as Feng Qingluan picked up a piece of braised pork and was about to put it into her mouth, this crazy man rushed in and grabbed her wrist. A scalpel flashed in his palm and he cut towards Xie Yan's wrist without hesitation.

A flash of cold light flashed across Xie Yan's eyes, and he quickly withdrew his hand. The scalpel cut into nothing. Feng Qingluan's cold and sharp eyes fell on Xie Yan's face:

"King Chu, what are you crazy about? You told me to save someone, so I'll go and save him. Do you think I'm such an easy person to talk to?"

Xie Yan's eyes were fierce, "It was you who caused Shu Yao to be poisoned. You have the responsibility to save her!"

Feng Qingluan crossed her arms, "Really? She got her retribution for all the evil she did. It's all her own fault. She wants me to save her. No way!"

After the previous confrontations, Xie Yan knew Feng Qingluan's temper too well. The more he asked her to do something, the less likely she would do it.

Xie Yan suppressed his anger and said, "When it comes to Shu Yao's life, you still want to play hard to get? Feng Qingluan, aren't you just trying to get my attention in an alternative way? My heart is given to Shu Yao, and I can't touch you. Apart from these two things, I can satisfy you with anything you want."

"You can have whatever you want, but your body and mind are not okay? Xie Yan, you still think I am the Feng Qingluan who loved you wholeheartedly before, and you are still playing hard to get. Do you have any shame?" Hearing Xie Yan's narcissistic words, Feng Qingluan was so angry that she wanted to laugh.

This scumbag actually thought that she was playing hard to get with him by changing her mind. He really thinks he is a piece of cake!

She took out the divorce agreement she had written earlier and slammed it on the table, saying in a resounding voice:

"Xie Yan, if you want me to save your beloved woman, then sign this divorce book!"
