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

Hearing the impatience in Xie Heng's words, Feng Shuyao felt empty inside.

But what she liked was Xie Heng's aloofness and indifference towards her, so she suppressed her joy and said seriously:

"Your Highness, the King of Chu has been silent since you returned to the capital. I will get rid of Feng Qingluan as soon as possible and take the position of the King of Chu's Consort. By then, I will have more power to know his whereabouts and plans, and then report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Feng Shuyao liked Xie Heng to the point of obsession. His every smile, word and action were deeply engraved in her mind.

When she was traveling from the countryside of Yangzhou to the capital, she encountered bandits on the way and was forced to be separated from her parents. It was Xie Heng who saved her.

Later she found out that the handsome man who had saved her from the bandits' sword that day like a god was actually the crown prince. After arriving in the capital, she attended the banquet of noble ladies under the name of the marquis' mansion and met Xie Heng again. She mustered up the courage to thank him, but Xie Heng seemed to have forgotten her.

Later, she accidentally learned that although Xie Heng and Xie Yan seemed to be friendly and respectful to each other, there was actually something going on between them.

She knew that according to the arranged marriage, Feng Qingluan had to marry Xie Yan, hoping to do something for Xie Heng. Fortunately, God had mercy on her. When Xie Yan went to Mingling Temple, he was chased and injured, and Feng Qingluan saved him. She seized the opportunity to replace Feng Qingluan, making Xie Yan think that she saved him, and then used some means to make Xie Yan fall deeply in love with her and unable to extricate himself.

After she succeeded, she went to find Xie Heng and offered to help him monitor Xie Yan's actions and pass on information.

Xie Heng finally looked her in the eye and promised to take her into the Prince's Mansion and make her his woman after he had secured power and removed all obstacles.

Feng Shuyao was extremely happy, and with this hope in mind, she worked wholeheartedly to help him in the Prince Chu's Mansion.

Xie Yan had complete faith in her and never doubted her.

Speaking of the Princess of Chu, Xie Heng said, "My father has allowed Feng Qingluan and the King of Chu to divorce. I will issue an imperial decree after returning to the capital."

Feng Shuyao was very happy to hear this important news:

"What, Feng Qingluan is not the Princess of Chu anymore? That's great, I..."

Xie Heng said, "Don't be happy too soon. Five days later, Xie Yan will marry Di Manli, the daughter of General Zhennan, as the concubine of the King of Chu. Di Manli is jealous and knows that the King of Chu favors you. She will not give you a good life after entering the palace. So you must firmly grasp Xie Yan's heart. I will give you a task. Help me get rid of Di Manli and alienate the King of Chu and the General Zhennan Palace."

Di Liang has only one daughter, Di Manli. Di Manli likes Xie Yan. As a father, he will definitely support her and even stand on the side of King Chu.

If Di Manli died, especially in the Prince of Chu's Palace, and Di Liang fell out with the Prince of Chu, he would use some means to seize the military power in Di Liang's hands.

Feng Shuyao hadn't recovered from the joy of Feng Qingluan and the King of Chu's divorce when she heard that Xie Yan was going to marry a concubine, the daughter of a great general. It sounded difficult to deal with her, so she said:

"Your Highness, I understand. I heard that Miss Di is good at martial arts, so it might not be that easy for her to fight. Please give me some time."

Xie Heng suppressed his tone and said, "Of course, you are a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. You have to face off against the daughter of a general. Don't go head-on. You just need to use the love and favor that the King of Chu has for you to make a good plan. This matter is not difficult. I am waiting for your good news."

Feng Shuyao pursed her lips, with eager anticipation in her eyes, and nodded:

"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I have already thought of how to kill Di Manli and stir up the hatred of the General's Mansion towards the King of Chu. You wait for my good news."

She opened her arms for a hug.

A barely perceptible look of disgust flashed across Xie Heng's brows, and he stood there without moving. Feng Shuyao took the initiative to walk up to him and hugged him.

Xie Heng didn't like to hear Feng Shuyao calling herself "a concubine", a nameless and lowly person.

He also didn't like her touch, which made him physically uncomfortable.

But this woman is of great use to him. It is rare that the King of Chu is so obsessed with a woman, and the gentle knife is the easiest way to get rid of him.

As long as the King of Chu, who posed the greatest threat to his position as crown prince, died, the incompetent King Jing would no longer be a threat, and his position as crown prince, or in other words, his future throne as emperor, would be completely secure.

Feng Shuyao hugged Xie Heng, rested her head on his chest, closed her eyes and enjoyed the joy of the moment.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking stones behind the rockery next to them.

"Who's there? Come out!"

Xie Heng spoke up.

When the person hiding behind the rockery was discovered, he fled in panic towards the path in the yard.

Xie Heng let go of Feng Shuyao, used his lightness skills to jump over the rockery, landed in the yard and chased after the black shadow.

The affair between him and Feng Shuyao must not be known to outsiders, especially the mission assigned to Feng Shuyao. No matter how much this person heard, he must not leave her alive!

The black shadow was in a panic, running around in fear, but strangely did not dare to make a sound.

Xie Heng was doubtful for a moment, and he broke the branch next to him and used his internal energy to throw it towards the black shadow in front of him!

"Pfft!"

The sharp branch pierced into the opponent's neck, and the black shadow fell straight forward to the ground.

Xie Heng walked over and pushed the man over.

He was a middle-aged man, dressed in servant's clothes, and looked like someone from the kitchen.

He was not dead yet. There was a branch stuck in his neck, blood was oozing out of it, and blood was gushing out of his mouth. He stared at Xie Heng with eyes full of unwillingness.

Feng Shuyao hurriedly chased after him, and when she saw the person lying there, she screamed in fear, then immediately covered her mouth, her eyes full of fear.

"Do you know him?" Xie Heng asked.

Feng Shuyao came to Xie Heng in fear and said in a trembling voice:

"He... he is the Third Master Feng of the Marquis' Mansion. Feng Chun is my Third Uncle... why is he here?"

Feng Chun fell to the ground, his body twitching. He looked at Feng Shuyao with his red eyes slanting, his lips moving:

"You, you..."

He wanted to say something, but he could only utter these two words, then he stared with his eyes wide open and stopped breathing.

Even though he was dead, a large amount of blood still flowed out from the hole in his throat, forming a puddle on the stone slab.

Feng Chun died, a bloody death in front of Feng Shuyao.

Feng Shuyao had never seen such a scary scene before. Her legs went weak and her face turned pale.

Seeing her frightened look, Xie Heng raised his gaze to warn her seriously:

"No matter who he is to you, he heard our conversation and must be eliminated. You pretend that you have not seen him tonight and do not know that he is dead. Act as if nothing happened. Do you understand?"

Feng Shuyao nodded in fear, "Yes, Your Highness, I know, I understand, but I am a little scared, what should I do with his body?"

Xie Heng let her go. "Don't worry about it. I will handle it myself. Adjust your mood and don't make any suspicious moves. It's none of your business. Go back."

Feng Shuyao took a few deep breaths, tried to calm herself down, did not look at Feng Chun's body, turned around and walked away with shaking legs.

Xie Heng looked at the dead body on the ground, waved to the shadow behind the tree, and a dark shadow flashed.

"Deal with him."

He then left the scene.
