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

Chi Ji brought the guards out to look for Wen Mu and Feng Qingluan, but they didn't find them. Instead, they discovered Lian Qiao's horrific body on the street.

Chi Ji's expression changed drastically. Lian Qiao's head was bloody and he could hardly tell it apart. He said in a cold voice:

"Go find Wen Mu!"

Lian Qiao died tragically. It would be impossible for Feng Qingluan to be injured so badly just by being seriously injured.

Something must have happened to them outside, and someone came to help Feng Qingluan!

Chi Ji had Lian Qiao's body carried back to the apricot garden.

Lian Qiao was a subordinate he had high hopes for. She was skilled in martial arts, smart in her work, and had a sophisticated ability to disguise herself. He brought her to the capital specially, but she died before she could be of any use.

The other party was ruthless, and Chi Ji couldn't help but worry that Wen Mu had also met with an accident!

After not finding anyone outside, Chi Ji returned to Xie Yu and found Wen Mu lying beside her with wounds all over his body. He hurriedly asked:

"What happened to you outside? Who hurt you like this?"

Wen Mu reported to Xie Yu that Feng Qingluan had been rescued.

Xie Yu's face was gloomy. "It was Xie Yan and Xie Jin. They showed up one after another to rescue Feng Qingluan. The woman fought back while dying and killed Lian Qiao."

Chi Ji frowned and asked, "How do they know Feng Qingluan is in Xingyuan?"

Xie Yu said: "Didn't they invite a veterinarian back from outside? It's possible that he leaked it."

Chi Ji said: "I was careless."

Xie Yu said: "Compared to Feng Qingluan being kidnapped, there is something more serious."

Chi Ji said: "What?"

"Wen Mu, you speak."

Wen Mu said: "When I fought with Xie Jin, Xie Jin had two chances to kill me, but he stopped both times. He seemed to want to capture me alive.

When Xie Jin appeared, Feng Qingluan told him, "He is that person." The subordinates thought she meant something, and Xie Jin understood what she said, so he didn't kill him."

Wen Mu is a martial arts expert. In a fight between masters, even the slightest deviation in every move could lead to being killed by the opponent. Wen Mu felt particularly strongly that Xie Jin was letting him go in order to capture him.

"Is there such a thing?"

Chi Ji was surprised and said, "Feng Qingluan looked seriously injured when she left the apricot garden. Xie Jin treated her like his life. Seeing that someone was chasing her, he should have wanted to kill Wen Mu immediately, but he wanted to capture her alive. Did Xie Jin know something?"

Xie Yu said: "This is exactly what I am most worried about. There is another point. Wen Mu said that he met Feng Kun when he went out to find She Weng to get the antidote. I remember you said that Feng Kun was the leader of the assassins who came in from outside the city.

They didn't meet earlier or later, but he found Wen Mu when Wen Mu was looking for the antidote. Don't you think this is too coincidental? Combined with Xie Jin's abnormality, these two things may have an unexpected connection. "

Chi Ji's mind was spinning rapidly:

"The Queen Mother's speculation is reasonable. In addition, there is one thing that concerns me. The Second Prince said to the Queen Mother before he left. The Second Prince had no idea when I was planning the poisonous snake case.

He clearly said that I was the one who led the venomous snake case and also instructed Wen Mu to hire an assassin to break into the Marquis' Mansion. How did Your Highness know so much about this? Where did he get the information from? His behavior of defending Feng Qingluan was also very unusual. Could it be that Feng Qingluan told him something? "

Xie Yu said: "It is possible that Feng Qingluan told Ye Hua that we did it, and Ye Hua was instigated. Otherwise, if we push the theory back, I guess Feng Qingluan and Xie Jin found out about you in the case of the venomous snake."

Chi Ji's face became serious:

"We cannot rule out this possibility. What happened today was too abnormal. We have to be on guard against the snake-throwing incident. Queen Mother, Feng Yangyu is in Xie Jin's hands. He may have betrayed you."

Xie Yu also felt the crisis:

"Feng Yangyu betrayed me, so Xie Jin must be actively collecting evidence and waiting to catch us all in one fell swoop."

So many people died in the snake case, and the truth has come to light. Even if Emperor Xia Ming wanted to shield her with her merits or status, I'm afraid she would never be able to turn things around in the hearts of the people.

Xie Yu said: "Feng Qingluan has been rescued, and our only bargaining chip is gone. Do you have any other ideas to exchange for Feng Yangyu?"

Chi Ji said: "This is not difficult. Madam Hou, the Yun family, and the mother and daughter from the Rongguo Mansion are the people that Feng Qingluan and Xie Jin care about the most. We can set our sights on them."

Xie Yu asked: "Who did you pick?"

Chi Ji said: "I already have a candidate."

Xie Yu felt relieved: "As long as you have a plan, I don't want to hear any more bad things."

Chi Ji said, "Yes, Queen Mother, I will definitely do it. If Xie Jin is collecting evidence, you must send someone to inform She Weng and ask her to be more alert in the near future and not be discovered by Prince Rong."

Xie Yu rubbed his brows:

"Just do what you want, and don't make any mistakes."

Her two children were either unconscious or injured, which gave her a headache.

Judging from the way Ye Hua looked today, she was afraid that he might become estranged from her, so she had to go and see.

After handing the matter over to Chi Ji, Xie Yu went to Fan Yehua's yard.

Chi Ji said to Wen Mu:

"You are seriously injured. Stay in Xingyuan these days and don't go on any missions. Send a capable person to inform Snake Elder outside the city."

Wen Mu said: "Yes."

Feng Qingluan was seriously injured and fell into a coma. She spent the next few days recuperating in Prince Rong's mansion.

Xie Jin sent someone to the Marquis' Mansion to tell them the news that Feng Qingluan was in Prince Rong's Mansion, so that they could rest assured.

One day, Feng Qingluan woke up and saw Xie Jin dealing with memorials. She couldn't help but laugh:

"Did you bring all the government affairs to your bedroom for approval?"

Hearing her voice, Xie Jin put down the memorial and walked towards her quickly.

"You're awake. Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

She had treated Feng Qingluan's several external injuries before she fell into a coma, and they were not serious problems. The main problem was the poison powder she had used. Although she had taken the antidote in advance, she still inhaled too much when dealing with the guards and Lian Qiao. In addition, the severity of her injuries caused her body to be severely overdrawn, which almost caused a disaster.

Feng Qingluan felt it and said, "No, everything is fine."

Xie Jin poured a glass of water and helped Feng Qingluan sit up and drink it.

The room was warm, and Feng Qingluan was clean and refreshed. She was full of energy, and thinking of what happened before, she said:

"Does the snake seller have any clues?"

Xie Jin said, "Jiang Qu found out that there is a ghost market in Chuan'an Village outside the city. There is a man named She Weng who sells all kinds of poisonous snakes and poisons. His whereabouts are treacherous. I ordered Jiang Qu to wait there."

Feng Qingluan said: "It's good to have a clue."

Thinking of Xie Jin's timely appearance in Xingyuan that night, Feng Qingluan couldn't help but be curious:

"How long have I been in a coma?"

Xie Jin said: "Three days."

Feng Qingluan asked, "How did you know I was in Xingyuan three days ago?"

She was knocked unconscious when Fan Yehua took her away, and was unable to leave any clues for An Ye to track her.

During the days she was in Xingyuan, Xie Jin probably didn't know where she went.

Xie Jin said: "I arranged for people to monitor Chunze Garden. The secret guards saw Fan Yueting taking the gray wolf out and followed them all the way to Xingyuan."

Later, Xie Yu also came out of the palace and rushed there, and he confirmed it.

Feng Qingluan said, "So that's how it is. During the time I was missing, my grandmother and grandparents must have been very worried. I have to go back tonight."

Xie Jin said: "Okay, I'll take you there."
