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

Fan Yehua was invited into the main hall, and Feng Qingluan came over from Shen Wan's side.

After that day in Xingyuan, Fan Yehua never saw Feng Qingluan again.

I heard that Feng Qingluan escaped from the apricot garden and came to the street, where she was caught up by Wen Mu and Lian Qiao and was seriously injured. If Xie Jin had not arrived in time, she might have died there.

Seeing her coming over safely, Fan Yehua felt both nervous and somewhat relaxed.

Feng Qingluan was humble and polite:

"I wonder why the Second Prince came to the Marquis' Mansion? How is your injury?"

Qingxue brought hot tea and the servant helped him take off his cloak.

Fan Yehua said: "You know what I am here for."

Feng Qingluan raised her eyebrows: "Oh, why would I know that?"

Fan Yehua knew that she was very smart, so he took a sip of tea and got straight to the point:

"This prince came here for rumors. Miss Feng has heard about the rumors in the capital, right? I want to know if you were the one who spread this story about me?"

Feng Qingluan guessed that he was doing this, but how could she admit it: "No."

Fan Yehua said: "You and the Queen Mother have a deep grudge, and you almost lost your life in Xingyuan. With these things, not only my mother, but I also suspect that you did it."

Feng Qingluan said: "The Second Prince said that he suspected it, but there is no evidence pointing to me. So why don't you suspect that someone knew that the Princess and I were incompatible and deliberately spread news that was unfavorable to you and framed me?"

Feng Qingluan circled around him, and Fan Yehua frowned:

"It's possible that you said so."

He changed the subject: "I am not here today on behalf of my mother, nor on behalf of Chi Ji. I want to ask you in my own name, is Yue Ting really my half-sister? What do you know?"

Feng Qingluan stared at him, thinking he was setting a trap for her.

"The Second Prince wants me to answer. Does he want me to repay you for saving my life in Xingyuan?"

Fan Yehua clenched his fists.

He wanted Feng Qingluan to repay his kindness, but not because of this matter.

To him, it was such a waste that Feng Qingluan repaid his life-saving grace with just a few words.

Feng Qingluan mentioned this, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"You can say that. Please explain it to me, Miss Feng."

Feng Qingluan smiled meaningfully and then replied:

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint the Second Prince. This is the first time I've heard rumors about the Princess and Chi Ji. As for the true relationship between Chi Ji and Fan Yueting, I, as a bystander, know nothing like everyone else. I can't repay the Second Prince's kindness for now."

Fan Yehua did not give up and became a little excited:

"To tell whether they are father and daughter, it is not enough to judge by just one or two small things. Did Miss Feng know that they have a close relationship just because Lord Chi insisted on cutting his own blood when saving Gray Wolf, instead of hurting Yue Ting? Or did she discover something else before that?"

He ignored Feng Qingluan's denials, and every sentence he said was based on the fact that it was Feng Qingluan who spread the rumor and that Feng Qingluan had clues in her hands.

Feng Qingluan saw through it and gave the same answer:

"I have no comment on the Second Prince's question, and I don't know."

After being rejected again, Fan Yehua knew that he could not get anything out of Feng Qingluan.

Feng Qingluan saw through his intentions and was too tight-lipped, so Fan Yehua couldn't get up and say goodbye:

"In this case, I won't stay any longer. Take care, Miss Feng."

He looked at Feng Qingluan, feeling reluctant, but quickly left the mansion and went back to tell Chi Ji the result.

Chi Ji was furious. Feng Qingluan was really smart. It was obviously she who did it, but she pretended to be ignorant. How hateful!

Fan Yehua didn't get any useful clues, and Wen Mu also returned from outside the city.

"My lord, the Merlin where Snake was hiding was blown up, and there were traces of a fight and dried blood in the small dark room. King Rong's people should have found him, but I don't know whether Snake was caught or escaped."

Wen Mu reported what he saw in the small dark room truthfully.

Chi Ji was furious and slammed his palm on the table:

"He has finally found Snake Man. Things are getting worse and worse!"

Then he asked, "Are there any new clues about Feng Kun?"

That day, Wen Mu met Feng Kun in the alley. Feng Kun said that Prince Rong was searching for him. Later, he sent people to search for him, but there was no news.

Wen Mu said: "No, he is missing."

Chi Ji's brows twisted into a "川" shape:

"These two are key witnesses in the venomous snake case. They are missing and unknown. If they both fall into the hands of Prince Rong, together with Feng Yangyu, the venomous snake case will drag both the Queen Mother and me into the case."

Things had developed to this point and he had to prepare for the worst.

On the second day, Chi Ji asked Fan Yueting to dress up as a servant and follow her into the palace on the pretext of visiting Xie Yu.

After meeting Xie Yu, Chi Ji told her the news of Snake Mang's disappearance.

Xie Yu looked extremely gloomy:

"There is no way out. Now we are like fish on the chopping block. When we are slaughtered depends on when Xie Jin will bring the case of the poisonous snake to the emperor. You came to me today because you have thought of a solution, right?"

Chi Ji had a solution, and said:

"There is a way to keep the Queen Mother safe."

Xie Yu asked: "What is it?"

Chi Ji said: "If you do something wrong, you will be punished, but what about meritorious service? The venomous snake case caused hundreds of casualties. The incident has already happened. It is only a matter of time before Xie Jin finds out about the Queen Mother and the minister.

Whatever punishment you should bear, you should bear it. But if the Queen Mother has performed great merits, saved the people, or even saved your Majesty's life, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the merits and demerits offset each other, then there will naturally be no punishment."

Xie Yu's eyes lit up. This direction was the best way for her to get through the difficult times. She asked anxiously:

"Have you figured out how to do it?"

Chi Ji asked, "As the year draws to a close, are there any large-scale events in or outside the palace that require the participation of both the emperor and the people?"

Xie Yu said, "On the eve of New Year's Eve, the emperor would lead his ministers out of the palace in plain clothes to inspect the people's sentiments. At night, he would overlook the entire capital from Baisheng Tower. If the people were living a prosperous life, it would be due to his achievements in government this year. If they were still not living a good life by the end of the year, the emperor would reflect on himself. This is the annual custom of Daxia."

Chi Ji laughed: "God helps the Queen Mother, that day will be a great opportunity for the Queen Mother to make meritorious deeds!"

Next he needs to make some preparations and show signs before that day arrives.

Feng Qingluan can use the public opinion to create public opinion, so can he!

"I have an idea. When I go back and work out the detailed plan, I will go to the palace and discuss it with the Queen Mother."

Xie Yu said: "Okay, I will wait for your news."

Seeing his pale face, Xie Yu walked up to him and straightened Chi Ji's collar:

"Whether I can survive this disaster depends entirely on you. Your body has not recovered yet, so be careful not to overwork yourself."

She stroked Chi Ji's face, and Chi Ji couldn't help but grabbed her hand and held it in his palm.

"For the Queen Mother, I can do anything."

Xie Yu smiled, pursed her lips, and held his hand.

"I know your affection for me."

Chi Ji's Adam's apple moved. Whenever the Queen Mother showed tenderness to him, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.

This time, it might be the last thing he does for the Queen Mother.

Someone has to bear the consequences of the venomous snake case, and Yue Ting's affair was also exposed. For the sake of his beloved woman and his daughter, he was willing to die for them!
