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

royal palace.

Before the landslide last night, a Yiwuling did not follow Fang Zhi's final order to assassinate Feng Qingluan.

Instead, after being injured by the explosion trap, he wanted to go to the nearby nunnery to treat his wounds, but then he heard a loud rumbling sound above his head and discovered that it was a landslide, so he used all his strength to escape.

When he came to his senses, he saw that all the Yiwu Order, led by Fang Zhi, were buried under the rocks.

In the distance, Feng Qingluan and her people escaped.

The Yiwu Commander gritted his teeth and shed tears, knowing that the assassination mission had failed and returned to the capital to report the process of the assassination in Qingxin Temple to Emperor Xia Ming.

Emperor Xia Ming's face was as dark as ink:

"Two hundred Yiwuling assassinated a group of old, weak and sick people, and you were the only one who escaped. What a joke!"

The Yiwu Order's name was Cui Lan.

Cui Lan said terrified:

"Your Majesty, the total number of guards brought by Feng Qingluan and the secret guards of Prince Rong's Mansion is quite large."

Their fighting power was inferior to that of the secret guards, so they suffered a great loss.

A faint light flashed in Emperor Xia Ming's eyes.

Damn Xie Jin, even after being transferred to another place, he still cared so much about Feng Qingluan and left so many people to protect her.

Feng Qingluan was like an invincible cockroach, giving him a headache!

Emperor Xia Ming rubbed his temple uncomfortably.

The Yiwu Order led by Fang Zhi was the last batch of Yiwu Order that he could use. If he allowed these people to assassinate Feng Qingluan again later, the woman would definitely suspect him.

The more than 4,000 Yiwu Orders are of no use for the time being, so he has to figure out how to deal with Feng Qingluan next.

Suddenly, Emperor Xia Ming thought of a strange thing that appeared in Cui Lan's report:

"You said you saw Feng Qingluan gathering her family in one room, and when you rushed in to deal with them, you didn't find anyone there?"

Cui Lan replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Where did they go in such a short time?"

Feng Qingluan set a bomb in the room. Isn’t she afraid of killing the Yun family as well?

Cui Lan was also puzzled by this:

"I guess, could it be that there is a secret passage under that room, and Feng Qingluan asked them to move through the secret passage?"

She was also shocked at the time, and thinking back on it later, she could only come to this conclusion.

Emperor Xia Ming said: "Qingxin Temple was buried. It is impossible to investigate this. I know. Go down."

Cui Lan said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

She walked out of the hall and came to the corridor. Suddenly, a hidden weapon shot from the front and pierced Cui Lan's forehead.

Cui Lan fell down with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Two imperial guards came up and dragged Cui Lan's body away, and a eunuch came up to clean up the blood.

Thinking about what Cui Lan said, Emperor Xia Ming called Yuan Chao in.

"Has Zhaoyang returned to the capital?"

The Yuan Dynasty eunuch lowered his eyebrows and said:

"Your Majesty, the princess returned to the palace before noon. She injured her arm, and Concubine Ru has sent a royal physician to treat her."

Emperor Xia Ming said: "Call her over."

Not long after, Xie Ying entered the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Emperor Xia Ming looked at her right arm:

"Is it seriously injured?"

Xie Ying said: "It's not serious, the imperial physician has treated it."

In fact, her injuries were quite serious. Feng Qingluan said that if the assassin's sword had been an inch deeper, it would have cut her bones, which really caused her pain.

Emperor Xia Ming showed concern:

"You don't have to do this."

Xie Ying said: "But they want to kill Huai Yin, and I don't want him to get hurt."

On March 12, it was Xie Ying who told Emperor Xia Ming that Feng Qingluan was going to take everyone in the Marquis' Mansion to Baihua Mountain for worship.

Emperor Xia Ming said, "I gave them an order not to hurt you. It may be a mistake made in a hurry. Even so, you can't risk your life to protect Yun Huaiyin from injury. If Yiwu Ling doesn't show mercy, your arm will be crippled."

Xie Ying didn't say anything.

Her thoughts drifted to the day when Emperor Xia Ming talked to her alone.

The emperor agreed to her marriage with Yun Huaiyin, but the precondition was that she used her relationship with Yun Huaiyin to get closer to Feng Qingluan.

Yun Huaiyin lived in the Marquis' Mansion for a long time, and asked her to go in and out of the Mansion frequently to find him and act as his spy to monitor Feng Qingluan.

Xie Ying hesitated and didn't want to use Yun Huaiyin, but she was powerless. If she didn't agree, her father would immediately grant her a marriage, and she would never be able to be with Yun Huaiyin in this life.

After thinking about it, Xie Ying agreed:

"I can do this for you, but no matter how you target Feng Qingluan, please show mercy to Yun Huaiyin. I really like him, please help me."

Emperor Xia Ming said with a smile:

"You are my daughter and you work for me, so of course I will take care of the man you love."

So from that day on, Xie Ying went to the Marquis' Mansion every few days.

On the one hand, she was happy to see Yun Huaiyin, but on the other hand, she had to keep the mission in mind at all times, which made her feel sorry for Feng Qingluan.

With mixed feelings, although Xie Ying was tortured, she still reported the news to Emperor Xia Ming when she knew Feng Qingluan was going to Baihua Mountain.

Feng Qingluan agreed to go with him because of Yun Huaiyin's relationship.

The assassination at Qingxin Temple was related to her. Xie Ying was worried that Feng Qingluan would suspect her, so she blocked the sword for Yun Huaiyin.

At the same time, she signaled with her eyes that the man should cut down the sword, thus injuring her right arm.

In the assassination that night, she was the only person injured besides the guards, hoping to avoid Feng Qingluan's suspicion.

Emperor Xia Ming saw that she was in a sad mood and seemed to be thinking about something. He coughed and said:

"You are injured. Take good care of yourself and don't do such dangerous things next time. By the way, I asked you to come here to ask you something.

Yiwu Ling, who came back alive, reported to me that when Feng Qingluan was assassinated, she gathered Madam Hou and the Yun family and others in one room for transfer. Did you also escape through the secret passage?"

Xie Ying frowned slightly, "I cannot confirm this. At the time of the incident, I and Yun Huaiyin were living in the backyard. Feng Qingluan sent someone to pick us up and asked us to meet up in Madam Hou's room in the front yard. When I and Yun Huaiyin entered the room, it was empty. Feng Qingluan had already moved Madam Hou and others in advance."

Emperor Xia Ming was surprised: "There was no one in the room at that time?"

Xie Ying said: "Well, Yun Huaiyin also felt it was strange. He said that they would meet here, but he didn't see the Yun family and Madam Hou."

Emperor Xia Ming continued to ask: "How did you two leave there?"

Xie Ying frowned:

"My son's arm was seriously injured and was bleeding. Feng Qingluan took out hemostatic medicine and bandages from somewhere and helped me treat it. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my neck and then I lost consciousness."

Emperor Xia Ming asked: "Feng Qingluan knocked you out?"

After Xie Ying woke up, she still felt pain in the back of her neck and nodded:

"Yes, I asked Yun Huaiyin and he said that he was also knocked unconscious by Feng Qingluan. Maybe there is a secret passage underground in that room and Feng Qingluan doesn't want us to know."

Emperor Xia Ming felt unusual and retorted:

"No, that's not the case."
