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

Feng Qingluan had just treated a patient's burns when Liao Luoling next to him exclaimed:

"Ah, Cousin Yun, Zimo, what happened to you guys?"

Feng Qingluan turned her head to look at the two of them. In the crowd, Xue Zimo came over, supporting the bruised Yun Huaiyin.

She quickly stood up and went to greet him. Yun Huaiyin had a wound on his face and a cut at the corner of his mouth, which was still bleeding. His body was messy and dirty, as if he had been beaten up. He asked in a deep voice:

"What happened? Who hurt my cousin?"

Yun Huaiyin looked sad and seemed to be unable to stand steadily. Feng Qingluan looked at his legs and saw something was wrong with his right leg, so she hurriedly supported him:

"Let him sit down. Luo Ling, go get a basin of clean water."

Liao Luoling went to the nearby inn to get some water and used a towel to clean the dirt off Yun Huaiyin's face.

Xue Zimo said with guilt:

"My subordinates did not find Young Master Yun in the Parkson Building. We found him on the street. He was already like this at that time. He refused to tell us what happened and who attacked Young Master Yun."

He regretted not following Young Master Yun when he saw him go to Baisheng Building.

It was clearly the young lady who asked him to take good care of Young Master Yun, but something like this happened.

Feng Qingluan checked Yun Huaiyin's injuries, which were all soft tissue contusions caused by being kicked and beaten.

But someone maliciously stepped on the bones of his right leg, so he walked strangely due to the pain and lack of strength.

Yun Huaiyin was in a bad mood. Feng Qingluan used a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked softly:

"What happened? Did my cousin see Princess Zhaoyang?"

He went to the back of Parkson Building for no other reason than to meet Xie Ying.

Hearing Feng Qingluan's question, Yun Huaiyin said:

"seen."

Feng Qingluan asked: "Who hurt you like this?"

Yun Huaiyin moved his lips but didn't say anything.

He was in a low mood and seemed to have been stimulated by something. It was inappropriate to ask him any more questions. Feng Qingluan said:

"The injury is not serious. Your right leg needs to be taken care of in the next few days. I'll ask Zimo to take you back home and come back to see you later."

She asked Liao Luoling to accompany the two of them back together. After all the injured here were dealt with, Feng Qingluan found Xie Jin.

"How is it going? Have you found out the cause of the fire?"

Xie Jin's face was solemn:

"We have interrogated the people in the kitchen of Parkson Building, and the unanimous answer is that a cook accidentally spilled oil onto the firewood next to him while cooking. Sparks fell from the stove, and the sudden fire ignited the stove next to it, causing a fire. The cook and the person who was burning the fire died on the spot."

Feng Qingluan said: "This is too careless."

Xie Jin said: "This is not an accident. Some people say that the cook spilled the oil on purpose. We are still investigating the people who have had contact with the cook recently. Maybe we can find some clues."

Feng Qingluan said, "Well, this is the only way for now. But how come Xie Yu saw the fire and rushed over to put it out? Shouldn't she be in the palace tonight?"

Xie Jin said: "After Emperor Xia Ming left the palace, Xie Yu went to Chunze Garden on the pretext of visiting Fan Yehua and Fan Yueting, and then came to Huangcheng Street and encountered a fire. He found a ladder and rescued the emperor."

Feng Qingluan frowned:

"It's not such a coincidence, it's just human nature."

Xie Jin said: "There is not much information that can be found out about the fire tonight. The fire burned everything. There is no evidence and no witnesses. Even if we suspect that Xie Yu and Chi Ji did it, we cannot accuse them."

Feng Qingluan became a little worried:

"Xie Yu has made great contributions. According to previous speculation, Emperor Xia Ming was secretly helping her, and he will definitely use this incident to record her merits. Even though she killed many people in the poisonous snake case, this time she saved Emperor Xia Ming, and even ministers and people. Her merits and demerits offset each other. It is not easy to convict her of persecuting people."

Xie Jin said: "Saving people and killing people can offset each other's merits and demerits. Don't forget that we still have a piece of evidence in our hands that is enough to make her unable to turn over."

Feng Qingluan knew what he was talking about and sighed:

"I spent a lot of manpower and resources to find witnesses and evidence to prove that Xie Yu was the real culprit behind the venomous snake case. Unexpectedly, she found a way to crack it. The truth she accidentally learned was the key evidence that completely overwhelmed her. It's really unpredictable."

Xie Jin stroked her hair gently and said softly:

"Let her be proud of herself for now. We should prepare ourselves. Xie Yu will die in five days!"

The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, which means Xie Jin decided to take action against Xie Yu on the third day of the New Year.

Feng Qingluan nodded, determined that this time she would be able to annihilate Xie Yu and the people who worked for her.

Thinking about Yun Huaiyin's injury in the mansion, Feng Qingluan returned to the Marquis' Mansion after saying goodbye to Xie Jin.

She went to straighten Yun Huaiyin's leg bones, and asked about some things that happened behind the Parkson Building.

Yun Huaiyin still said nothing.

Feng Qingluan wondered if Yun Huaiyin was caught by Concubine Ru when he was meeting Xie Ying, and Concubine Ru ordered people to assault him?

Yun Huaiyin didn't want to say anything, and Feng Qingluan didn't want to make him feel even more depressed, so she said:

"If you like Princess Zhaoyang, please don't think about the hatred between me and her. That's all in the past. I believe that the princess likes you and won't go against me anymore. You can express your feelings and don't be bound by me."

She had wanted to tell Yun Huaiyin these words before, but never found the opportunity.

Something like this has happened, and we can't delay any longer.

Show her attitude and let her cousin follow his heart to pursue his love.

Feng Qingluan was about to leave when Yun Huaiyin spoke in a hoarse voice:

"It's impossible. We are impossible."

Feng Qingluan thought to herself, was it true that Concubine Ru discovered the feelings between the two and came out to stop them?

She turned around and looked at Yun Huaiyin:

"Don't be so depressed. Everything is possible if you have a will. If you need anything, you can always ask me for help, cousin."

Yun Huaiyin stared at her in a daze until her figure disappeared at the door. He looked down at his legs and made a decision in his heart.

Although the fire in the Baisheng Building had a certain impact on the people, it was the end of the year after all, and the excitement of the New Year diluted the trauma left by the accident. The people cheered up and celebrated the New Year happily.

The people in the Marquis' Mansion were also preparing for New Year's Eve.

That afternoon, Xie Yan came to the Marquis' Mansion to find Feng Qingluan.

When she saw him again, Feng Qingluan didn't know what mood she was in, so she invited him to the side hall.

"How is your injury recovering?"

When in Xingyuan, Xie Yan was seriously injured while saving her, and he has been recovering from his injuries during this period.

Xie Yan said, "It's almost done. I came to see you today not to affect your mood, but Zhaoyang told me that she likes Yun Huaiyin and she is sorry for what my mother did to him that night in Baisheng Tower. She wants to know if his injury has healed."

Feng Qingluan asked, "What did Concubine Ru do to Cousin Yun?"

Xie Yan said, "My mother found out that Zhaoyang fell in love with Yun Huaiyin and thought that she didn't want to marry Xue Yuan because of Yun Huaiyin. She was so angry that she asked the imperial guards to beat Yun Huaiyin. Zhaoyang was confined to the palace and was not allowed to come out. He was worried about her day and night and fell ill. I am very sorry for what my mother did."

Feng Qingluan said: "Tell Princess Zhaoyang that my cousin is fine."

Xie Yan nodded, and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back and stood up:

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Happy New Year. Goodbye!"

After saying this, he left the mansion with a heavy heart.
