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

Xie Jin said: “No.”

Feng Qingluan became interested, "Do you trust me so much?"

"You have already agreed on the terms. Those terms do not pose any threat to you. You have no reason to kill him and involve a human life."

Feng Qingluan said, "That's right. Fortunately, the prince is very observant. If it were someone else, I would definitely be the first one to be arrested and suspected of being the murderer."

Xie Jin said: "There is a second reason. You have no inner strength."

He grabbed Feng Qingluan's wrist.

Feng Qingluan was so startled by his action that she subconsciously wanted to attack, but after hearing what he said, she let him hold it.

Xie Jin probed for a while and then let go of Feng Qingluan.

Feng Qingluan rubbed his wrist and said, "Are you sure that the other party used internal force?"

Xie Jin said: "There is only one footprint on the ground, it belongs to Feng Chun."

He sent people to check the broken branches, which were about ten branches away from where the body fell, and there were no footprints in between, which meant that the murderer broke the branches from the back and threw them at Feng Chun in front, and then used light skills to get to his body.

Feng Qingluan asked: "Since we have determined that this person knows Kung Fu, can we roughly identify the murderer?"

Xie Jin shook his head. "There are many people in this palace who know martial arts. It's difficult to identify the murderer based on this alone. Besides, the body was handled very cleanly. There are no other clues."

Feng Qingluan didn't say anything. The person she saw last night had become a corpse today.

Although she disliked Feng Chun, she never thought of letting him die.

The news of the murder was blocked and a secret investigation was conducted. After Feng Qingluan went over and answered a few questions, Xie Jin let her go.

After lunch, the group set off for Qionghua Terrace.

Qionghua Terrace is surrounded by mountains on all sides and is located in the center of the entire valley. Behind the Qionghua Terrace is a long staircase, and on top is a magnificent palace, the Xianyi Pavilion.

Xie Yan and Feng Qingluan walked side by side. Xie Yan asked her unhappily, "What did the Eighth Prince's guards ask you to do?"

"That's my business, not yours."

Xie Yan gritted his teeth, "Don't forget, my father said that the imperial decree for divorce will come down after we return to the capital. Now we are still husband and wife, and I have the right to control you."

He lowered his voice so that only Feng Qingluan could hear him and said:

"As soon as you divorced me, you became close to another man, Feng Qingluan. Did you hook up with the Eighth Imperial Uncle a long time ago and then do everything you can to get away from me? You are such a shameless and corrupt woman."

Feng Qingluan was amused by his words, "Your Highness the King of Chu, you favor your concubine and neglect your wife, and spend the night with other women, but now you are blaming me. Don't you feel guilty for saying this?"

Xie Yan's eyes widened in anger: "I was schemed by Di Manli, it was not my own will. As for Shu Yao, she has done me a favor, what's wrong with me favoring her a little more?

If you hadn't been so persistent in pursuing me, would I have married you? You threw me away without mercy after you got me. Do you think I'm some kind of person that you can throw away whenever you want?"

Hearing his increasingly outrageous words, Feng Qingluan felt like she was arguing with a fool and sneered:

"Xie Yan, you married me because of the marriage granted by the late emperor. Otherwise, would you have married me? I have been so devoted to you that I almost gave you my life, but you never even looked at me. I also told you that I saved you and Feng Shuyao accepted your kindness on my behalf. Have you ever been touched? Have you ever believed it?

Besides, don't you also regard me as a target to get the military power in my father's hands? It's the same for you. It's just that the retribution has fallen on you. You are not worthy of being my man! "

Xie Yan trampled on the original owner's feelings for him, and then was dumped and couldn't get over it, so he came to argue with her. What a piece of shit.

Xie Yan's face turned pale after hearing what Feng Qingluan said, "I am not worthy of being your man? Is the Eighth Prince worthy? He gave you gifts and asked you to go to him, and he let you go with him after giving you a little benefit? Are you so worthless and despise yourself?

Feng Qingluan, I warn you, don't get too close to him, otherwise when you return to the capital in three days, I will do everything I can to disapprove of your divorce!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. For some reason, he didn't want to divorce Feng Qingluan. He couldn't tell what had possessed him. He clearly hated this woman, but he couldn't bear the thought of her leaving him.

While the two were talking, Xie Jin's gaze drifted over.

Xie Yan's rage contrasted with Feng Qingluan's calmness. He knew that Feng Qingluan had completely given up on the man in front of her.

Xie Jin walked behind, and Chi Guang came to find him with a serious expression.

After having a quarrel with Xie Yan, Feng Qingluan didn't want to get too close to this idiot, so she went behind the Queen and stayed away from him. When she turned her head, she saw Chi Guang reporting something to Xie Jin. Xie Jin frowned slightly and looked at her, then left with Chi Guang.

Feng Qingluan thought to herself, could it be that they have found out who the murderer of Feng Chun is?

I was planning to go over and ask what was going on.

Then, just then, she noticed the guards outside walking around. They had grim expressions and their hands on the hilts of their swords, and it seemed as if something big had happened.

Emperor Xia Ming and none of the civil and military officials noticed. Feng Qingluan felt something was wrong and retreated behind the empress.

The information Xie Jin received was probably not about the murderer. Such a large and secretive event might be related to the security of the banquet.

She paid attention to the movements of the imperial guards around her.

A group of people arrived at Xianyi Pavilion. Looking down from above, they could see the beautiful scenery of the entire valley, mountains, rivers and streams. Emperor Xia Ming was very pleased:

"The Visiting Department did a good job this year. The scenery of Xianyi Pavilion is better than in previous years. I am very satisfied. Appreciation."

Emperor Xia Ming smiled and visited the Chief Secretary to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. This is what I should do."

Xie Ying and Di Manli sat together.

When Xie Yan and Feng Qingluan were talking, they also paid attention to them from time to time. Di Manli said:

"Princess, Liu Qi came back this morning. Did you go to ask him? Did His Highness ask him to send a message to me?"

Xie Ying said, "Not yet. My brother is still angry and Liu Qi is following him everywhere. I will find a chance to ask him in the evening."

Di Manli frowned and said, "I thought about it carefully. The back of the person who delivered the message to me looked similar to Liu Qi, and the clothes were also worn by Liu Qi, so I thought he was the one who delivered the order of the King of Chu.

But I didn't see Liu Qi's face. The King of Chu drank the drugged wine, so he shouldn't have the ability to think independently, and he still asked people to come to me. I suspect that the Liu Qi last night was fake."

After she said this, Xie Ying also felt strange, "If Liu Qi was plotted against by someone else, wouldn't he say he didn't know about it when he came back today? Then the emperor would suspect us."

No wonder when she went to talk to her brother in the morning, her brother was cold and even a little angry. Now she understood what was going on.

Di Manli said: "It is very likely. If we had known this would happen, we would have let Liu Qi die outside. Then there would be no one to confront the prince, and he would not suspect us."

As the two were talking, they heard a commotion below. They stood up and saw the imperial guards running towards the Qionghua Terrace.

Feng Qingluan also saw it and came to the corridor with a serious expression. Not only were there imperial guards, but there was also a group of people wearing other costumes following behind them. The two sides were fighting under the Xianyi Pavilion.

A palace servant ran up in panic, but before he could reach Emperor Xia Ming, he fell down in panic, and hurriedly crawled to report:

"Your Majesty, there are assassins. The palace has been surrounded by assassins. They are coming to kill us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in Xianyi Pavilion fell into panic.
