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

Xie Jin smiled but said nothing.

Feng Qingluan guessed that he knew something, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Xie Jin said: "Perhaps Miss Feng was too confident in her medicine and ignored Liu Qi's skills. He woke up halfway after being dragged into the bushes."

Feng Qingluan tightened her grip on the teacup slightly, "Where is he?"

Xie Jin tapped the table with his fingers, "Don't be nervous, he is still unconscious."

Feng Qingluan was not worried that Liu Qi would wake up and help Xie Yan to overturn the case, but the incident had just passed, and Liu Qi would not be discovered until at least the matter was settled. By then, even if Xie Yan knew that he was ambushed, he would have to suffer in silence.

"He is still unconscious? Did Your Highness help me?"

She woke up halfway but was still unconscious. Suddenly, she caught an important message and stared into Xie Jin's eyes:

"How do you know that I drugged Liu Qi? Do you know the whole story?"

Since she asked Xue Zimo to knock Liu Qi unconscious and then went to Di Manli's room to deliver a message, Xie Jin should have known everything.

Otherwise, if he found the King of Chu's personal guard fainted in the grass without knowing anything, he would have thought there was an assassin at first. He did not do that and let Liu Qi continue to be unconscious. It was obvious that he knew what he was doing and helped her.

Xie Jin took a sip of hot tea and said, "I know the whole thing, including the fact that you found someone with a body similar to Liu Qi to pass a message to Di Manli, making Di Manli think that their plan was successful. I have to say that you are very lucky."

Feng Qingluan was not at all flustered by her plan being exposed, and said calmly:

"Since Your Highness knew about this, why did you help me hide it? What do you want?"

The man in front of her was unfathomable. Feng Qingluan always had a feeling that he was like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, spying on everyone's movements.

"You are very direct, so I will tell you the truth. I want to help you get a divorce and restore your freedom."

Feng Qingluan was suspicious: "Your Highness, this makes me even more confused. What good will it do you if I divorce the King of Chu?"

Of course there are benefits.

You can only marry me after you divorce Xie Yan.

Xie Jin thought to himself, but he didn't say it out loud. His involvement in this matter had already aroused the little woman's vigilance. Not wanting to scare him by telling her his purpose, he found an excuse and said:

"You are the orphan of the Marquis of Protecting the Country. The Marquis of Protecting the Country has made great contributions to Daxia. His daughter should not be treated unfairly in the Chu Palace. The King of Chu favors his concubines and ignores his wife. He has no interest in you. I see that you have given up on him, so if you want to sever your relationship with him, I might as well help you to comfort the spirit of the Marquis of Protecting the Country in heaven."

Feng Qingluan didn't believe it. "Because my father defended Daxia and generously helped me, how can your Highness's reason not be credible?"

Xie Jin smiled and said, "I am a sentimental person and I cannot bear to see a beautiful woman unhappy. Is this reason credible?"

Feng Qingluan: “…”

Not credible either.

Xie Jin was very secretive. Feng Qingluan thought she would not get an answer from him. She stood up:

"Your Highness told me this matter but didn't tell me the purpose, so this matter ends here."

She turned to leave, and Xie Jin said lazily: "I helped you, aren't you going to thank me?"

"I asked the prince what he wanted, and he said a bunch of vague things. I think the prince probably did this because he was free. There's no need to thank him."

Feng Qingluan took two steps forward, paused and said:

"Or maybe Your Highness hasn't figured out what you want me to repay you. When you need something, you will come to me. We can interact with each other, so there is no need to thank me."

After saying that, he strode out of the pavilion.

It was not until her back disappeared into the yard that Jiang Qu asked Xie Jin in confusion:

"Your Majesty, are you just going to let Miss Feng go like this? I have to say, Miss Feng is really a character. She knew that Your Majesty had helped her but she didn't even say thank you. I have never seen anyone like her who is not afraid of Your Majesty in all these years. Compared with other rich ladies, she is really a breath of fresh air. I admire her."

Jiang Qu spoke with admiration in his tone.

Xie Jin asked: "Why, you like her?"

Jiang Qu choked and shook his head like a rattle:

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, I have never thought of this. I just admire Miss Feng's courage and have absolutely no improper thoughts about her. Please understand, Your Majesty."

Xie Jin chuckled and narrowed his eyes. How could that idiot King Chu suppress someone with such personality? One day she would become his woman, and letting her regain her freedom was the first step.

If Xie Jin wanted to get Feng Qingluan before because her body could cure his strange poison, after these few contacts, he found this woman very interesting and developed a little interest in her. She was like a little wild cat that would stretch out its claws to scratch people if provoked. He wanted to get both her body and her heart. In the process, Feng Qingluan should bring him a lot of surprises, so he was waiting to see.

Although Feng Qingluan ended the conversation in front of Xie Jin cleanly and neatly, she still had some doubts in her heart.

No one would help someone for no reason. Xie Jin helped her a lot this time. He also spoke for her when Emperor Xia Ming made the decision and did not ask for anything in return.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Maybe he is planning an unexpected trap for her. This man is difficult to see through. Avoid him if possible and don't confront him too often.

Feng Qingluan was thinking about these things when she noticed someone coming in front of her. She looked up and saw a face that shouldn't be here.

Feng Qingluan's face darkened, "What are you doing here?"

On the other side, Xie Heng went to the rockery to see Feng Shuyao.

Feng Shuyao was wearing heavy makeup and looked as pale as a female corpse standing in the moonlight. Xie Heng couldn't help but frown when he saw her:

"You are so brave that you dare to sneak into the palace. What is the urgent matter?"

Seeing the prince she had been thinking about for a long time, Feng Shuyao was overjoyed and wanted to throw herself into Xie Heng's arms. Xie Heng took a step back to refuse. Feng Shuyao was not angry, and she withdrew her action and said happily:

"Your Highness, have you missed me after being away for so long? I miss you every day and hope you will come back."

Xie Heng suppressed his disgust and said coldly: "If you have something urgent to say, please tell me now. If someone sees you here, your life will be in danger."

Feng Shuyao pouted and said coquettishly: "Your Highness is here, he will definitely protect me."

She said this while scratching the itchy spot on her body.

According to Feng Shuyao's plan, she was going to wear her most beautiful clothes and outfit to meet Xie Heng tonight, but for some reason, after using the ointment given by Feng Qingluan in the first two days, the dark spots on her body were almost healed, but suddenly they broke out again last night, and were even more serious than before.

Although these dark spots were not caused by any toxins, they only affected her beauty and disrupted her plans, forcing her to use thick makeup to cover the exposed areas on her face and neck.

Xie Heng watched her touching him without saying anything, and gradually lost his patience:

"If you say this, I heard it. I have something else to do, so you should stay where you are and don't cause me any trouble!"

She had saved Feng Shuyao a few years ago, and the woman had been obsessed with him ever since.

Later, the King of Chu became infatuated with her, so he could use her as a chess piece to get her into the King of Chu's palace. Feng Shuyao was also willing to help her monitor the King of Chu's every move, otherwise, with her coquettish appearance, she would not even be worthy of carrying shoes for him, the prince.
