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

Feng Qingluan said, "My Lady, there is no evidence for this matter, so I dare not speculate rashly."

Ru Fei snorted, "The Queen's condition is serious. His Majesty will probably keep you in the palace. Zhaoyang also needs you. You can stay in Yaoguang Palace for the time being."

Although Emperor Xia Ming asked her to stay so that he could deal with the empress's situation at any time, he did not arrange a specific residence for her.

The Queen's condition is more critical. She may have recurring fever after the operation, so it would be more appropriate for Feng Qingluan to stay there.

Feng Qingluan said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has asked this servant to live in Chengguang Palace."

Concubine Ru was dissatisfied: "It's too far. If something happens to Zhaoyang, you can't be with him the first time. Since His Majesty has also ordered it, you should find a suitable place in the middle between the two palaces to live. I will have someone arrange it."

Concubine Ru had someone prepare a room for Feng Qingluan in Xiaolin Pavilion and sent her there after thanking her for the banquet.

When Qingliang Terrace collapsed, Xie Yan heard it at the banquet on the other side. Feng Qingluan's figure instantly appeared in his mind. He rushed over anxiously and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Feng Qingluan standing there. He heard his mother crying for Zhaoyang and hurried over.

Walking alone with Feng Qingluan at this moment, Xie Yan asked with concern:

"I heard that something bad happened to you in Jiangfan City. Are you not hurt?"

Feng Qingluan said: "No problem."

Xie Yan said, "Originally I wanted to take over the Dali Temple's affairs and let Prince Rong escape to find you, but my father would not allow it. You have to bear the affairs of Fancheng alone. I'm sorry."

Feng Qingluan said: "That matter has nothing to do with you, no need to apologize."

Xie Yan was silent for a while, then said:

"Mother has chosen a new princess for me."

Feng Qingluan's mouth twitched. Another Princess of Chu has arrived?

This time, who is willing to send their precious daughter to the Prince of Chu's Palace?

Others may not know, but Feng Qingluan knows it best.

The Prince of Chu's mansion is a cannibalistic place.

As the first Princess of Chu, in the eyes of outsiders she had divorced the King of Chu, but in fact she died in the King of Chu's mansion.

The second wife of King Chu, Feng Shuyao, was promoted from a concubine, but was later demoted and died during childbirth.

The Chu King's concubine Di Manli was murdered. Looking back, Xie Yan was probably a wife-killer, and none of the women around him survived.

Feng Qingluan didn't ask who it was, she knew that Xie Yanyan would say it himself.

Xie Yan continued, "It's the Grand Master's daughter, Shan Lingshan, and they will be getting married soon."

Feng Qingluan just said "oh" and didn't say anything further.

Xie Yan guessed that this would be her reaction.

Feng Qingluan would not be emotional because he was going to marry a new princess, because she would not be jealous of him or sad for him.

Even though he had known that she would react like this, Xie Yan still wanted to tell her about it.

Up to now, he has no other children except the child born to him by Feng Shuyao.

If he wants to compete for the position of crown prince, his wife must give birth to a legitimate son. Even if he doesn't like Shan Lingshan, he must marry her!

Before the appearance of Prince Zhenbei, Xie Yan had never thought about this, but things are different now. Kangtai has given him a sense of crisis. He has to be careful to prevent irreversible events from happening in the future, and marrying the princess is imperative.

Of course, he would not give up the great power of King Zhenbei and let King Jing take away his position as crown prince.

After sending Feng Qingluan back to Xiaolin Pavilion, Xie Yan left.

Xie Jin investigated the cause of the collapse of Qingliang Terrace and reported to Emperor Xia Ming.

"From the broken walls of Qingliang Terrace, the four pillars from three meters up have cracks from the sword energy. The opponent did not break the pillars immediately, but was able to control the force to cause danger to the pillars. It must be the work of an expert."

Emperor Xia Ming was shocked: "Expert? Is there an expert who wants to frame my concubine?"

Xie Jin said: "That's right, the four pillars were previously slashed with cracks by the sharp sword, but the reason for their collapse was caused by the second sword-like power today.

The person behind the scenes deliberately left some room for the first attack, in order to cause a devastating blow in the same position the second time, and the time for the second attack can be chosen by oneself. "

Emperor Xia Ming frowned:

"You mean that without any external force, the first pillar can hold up for a period of time without falling?"

Xie Jin said: "Yes, this time it might be because the Queen, Concubine Ru and other concubines in the harem were all on the Qingliang Stage, so the person behind the scenes chose to take action directly."

Emperor Xia Ming said, "Of course there is no doubt about the Empress and the others. The people serving on the Qingliang Terrace are all the personal servants of the palace masters. Who among them did it?"

Could there be martial arts masters hiding among those people?

Xie Jin said, "I am more inclined to believe that the people on the stage are suspects. The troupe was invited into the palace from outside. I have checked their backgrounds and everything seems normal. I am asking someone to investigate their recent movements to see if there is anything suspicious."

Speaking of suspicious things, Xiang Fei is even more suspicious.

But it seems that Xiang Fei doesn't know martial arts.

Moreover, she was on the stage at the time, with countless eyes staring at her from across the Qingliang Terrace, so she couldn't do anything.

Given that this person was competing for favor with the Empress and her concubines in the harem, she had a motive for committing the crime.

After all, all the important concubines in the Qingliangtai harem had met with accidents, and Xiang Fei was the biggest beneficiary.

Emperor Xia Ming looked solemn:

"You must find the murderer. He sneaked into the Taihe Palace with bad intentions and great martial arts skills. If he is not found as soon as possible, it will undoubtedly be a major security risk."

Xie Jin replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

With such a big incident happening, the celebration banquet could not be held.

In the evening, in the Jiangzi Pavilion Garden.

Xiang Fei sat in the pavilion and threw fishing bait into the lake.

"What's going on outside now?"

The maid standing beside her answered:

"Your Majesty asked Prince Rong to investigate the Qingliang Terrace matter. Prince Rong intervened. Is he being too hasty this time?"

Prince Rong is the chief executive of the Dali Temple, and his ability to investigate cases should not be underestimated.

Xiang Fei threw another handful of fish food into the water, watched the fish below scramble to grab it, and smiled faintly:

"This time all the concubines have gathered together, Feng Qingluan is among them. This is an opportunity to annihilate them in one go, how can we miss it?"

Unfortunately, some people were lucky and only suffered minor injuries, allowing them to escape this disaster.

I don’t know when the next opportunity to gather everyone together will be.

The maid asked, "So what should we do next?"

After pouring out all the fish food in the bowl, Xiang Fei stood up:

"Isn't there someone seriously injured? I heard that His Majesty asked Feng Qingluan to take care of him personally. Before I entered the palace, Concubine Ru and the Queen were fighting to the death. Let them continue this time."

The maid said: "Your Majesty means..."

Xiang Fei smiled sinisterly:

"Of course, you're killing three birds with one stone. If you do this..."
