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

The anti-inflammatory drug that Feng Qingluan gave to Xie Jin had a calming and analgesic effect. Xie Jin was filled with anger towards Feng Qingluan, and he fell asleep while thinking about it. When he woke up again, it was already evening.

Xie Jin smelled an enticing aroma of barbecue and his stomach began to growl. He opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the fragrance.

Feng Qingluan was sitting in front of the fire opposite, roasting a rabbit. When she saw the man wake up, her beautiful face showed a smile as bright as spring breeze: "Hey, did you sleep well?"

Seeing Feng Qingluan sitting here, Xie Jin was confused:

"Didn't you say you were leaving? Why are you back?"

Feng Qingluan said, "I'm going to find some food and firewood. Who said I was leaving?"

Xie Jin said: "Didn't you tell me to wait here for rescue? Are you leaving?"

Feng Qingluan said, "Of course I have to go. If I don't go to the forest to catch hares, will the hares bump into me if I wait here?"

Xie Jin: “….”

After the rabbit meat was roasted, Feng Qingluan tore off a rabbit leg, wrapped it in leaves and placed it in front of Xie Jin. She also placed the bamboo tube filled with water next to him.

"Eat something. Even if your people see the signal flare and come into the forest to search, it will take at least a day or two. Generally speaking, if you hadn't come out to look for me, you wouldn't have suffered this. For the sake of saving each other's lives, I'll stay here with you and wait for rescue."

Xie Jin stared at Feng Qingluan's face, then looked at the fragrant freshly roasted rabbit meat and water at hand. An inexplicable and hot emotion surged in his chest. He had misunderstood her.

This woman did not abandon him. Suddenly, as if by some strange coincidence, Xie Jin asked:

"Why do you want to divorce Xie Yan? Didn't you declare before that you would only be the wife of the King of Chu for the rest of your life? Is the reason for your divorce for someone else?"

Xie Jin wanted to say it was for him.

After all, Feng Qingluan's change in attitude towards Xie Yan began after their wedding night.

The two of them got divorced less than half a month after their marriage, which was a world-renowned news. There must be some reason that forced Feng Qingluan to divorce.

Feng Qingluan also tore off a rabbit leg and ate it, when she suddenly heard Xie Jin asking her if the reason for the divorce was for someone else.

Feng Qingluan thought about it and realized that she was not the original owner, so the divorce was also for the sake of the original owner.

Xie Yan was heartless and had no feelings for her. He even hated her and was unworthy of the original owner's pure heart and unadulterated love.

Feng Qingluan nodded: "It's for someone."

Little did he know that the person she was talking about was actually himself to Xie Jin.

Xie Jin's emotions were surging, and he almost couldn't help but tell Feng Qingluan that the man she had raped that night was actually him.

But when he thought about how seriously he was injured, his hands and feet were crippled, he had serious internal injuries, and the poison in his body had also flared up. He had fallen into such a miserable state. If he told her, would his image in Feng Qingluan's eyes fall?

Will she look down on herself?

Thinking of this, the man's self-esteem blocked Xie Jin's confession, and he also picked up the rabbit leg and bit it.

"You did a good job. Xie Yan doesn't see you and can't see your shining points. You shouldn't sacrifice the rest of your life for him. You might as well follow your heart and fight for a better life for the person in your heart."

That fool Xie Yan treated a woman's sincerity so badly, he is not worthy of her.

Not to mention that this woman was both intelligent and skilled in medicine, she was kindhearted and saved Luo Ling, and she stayed with him to repay his kindness, she was brave and resourceful and blew up the stone bridge, and she was righteous and led Wei You away on behalf of her brother.

The more he thought about Xie Jin, the more he felt that he should stop thinking about him. How come Feng Qingluan only had advantages when it came to him?

Feng Qingluan didn't know that Xie Jin's thoughts had drifted far away, and said in a low voice:

"You are right. If a person has a firm pursuit in his heart and works hard to achieve it, he will definitely gain something. Let's not talk about me. What happened to the palace this time? Why did the assassins from Xianyi Pavilion come to kill you, but you didn't show up? And the thirteen men in black who forced us to jump off the cliff, they looked like people from the underworld, who are they? Do you have any clues about the mastermind who wants your life?"

And the most important question is, they have survived this disaster, and when they return to the capital after being rescued, will the people who want to kill Xie Jin think that she is in cahoots with him and hunt her down too?

Feng Qingluan was worried that she was no longer the Princess of Chu, and returning to the Marquis' Mansion would bring danger to her grandmother.

Of course Feng Qingluan did not ask this question.

Xie Jin's expression froze, "There is a spy among my men. Before the incident, someone led me to the east gate of the palace and said that a large number of people of unknown origin were approaching.

The north and south gates of the palace were heavily guarded. After the spy led me away, he pretended that someone had broken in through the east gate and conveyed my words, so the guards at the south gate were also sent to the east gate, resulting in the spies led by Wei You rushing straight into the palace.

The assassins at the east gate were all masters of the martial arts world. They held me back and prevented me from escaping. Fortunately, you were smart and blew up the only passage between Xianyi Pavilion and Wangxingzhai at the critical moment. Otherwise, my brother, the harem, and the officials in the court would have suffered heavy losses. I should thank you."

Feng Qingluan remained silent. She was willing to take the risk to lure away the assassin for the emperor, and this was what she thought.

Wei You kept saying that he wanted to take the head of Emperor Xia Ming, but if he really killed the emperor, Emperor Xia Ming's concubines and his officials would not be able to escape death. At that time, the entire Great Xia Kingdom, from the emperor to the officials and the crown prince, would be in danger of their lives. If they were all gone, it would shake the foundation of the country, and the Great Xia Kingdom would become precarious. It might even be attacked by some other countries that are eyeing it covetously, which would cause wars and conflicts, and many innocent people would be implicated and displaced.

The air was quiet for a moment, the sky gradually darkened, and the bright firelight illuminated the cave. The flames roasted the firewood, making a crackling sound, adding a touch of tranquility to the silence.

After a long while, Xie Jin continued, "I have a guess in my mind about who wants my life. I don't believe it's him, nor do I want it to be him. I'm not sure yet, so I can't tell you for the time being.

As for the thirteen people who forced us to jump off the cliff, they are the fourth ranked killer organization in the underworld, the Thirteen Ghosts. Each of these thirteen people has unique skills and uses different weapons. They are extremely good at team battles, and even one of them is no ordinary person.

After the battle with Wei You, I was seriously injured, and the poison in my body was roaming around. So when they forced me to walk towards the cliff, I would rather fall off the cliff and gather my strength to fight, rather than face them head-on. Otherwise, both of us would surely die. There was still a glimmer of hope if I jumped down, and now we are both still alive."

What Xie Jin said next was roughly the same as what Feng Qingluan had guessed.

Who could be the person behind the scenes who wanted to kill him but he didn't tell anyone about it, the person he didn't want to be with and didn't trust?

Feng Qingluan was a little curious.

As the eighth uncle of the current emperor, Xie Jin is the famous god of war prince of the Great Xia Kingdom. Don’t those who want to kill him know how important he is to the Great Xia Kingdom?

If such a brave general and such an important person were killed, wouldn't it be...

Suddenly, Feng Qingluan thought of something.

Yes, Xie Jin is so outstanding. He is the backbone and mainstay of the Great Xia Kingdom. He has made great contributions to the country and the people of Great Xia. He is known and admired by everyone in the world.

Whose interests will be affected by the existence of such a person?

That must be the master whose achievements surpass his master.

Feng Qingluan had a solemn expression. She should have guessed who wanted to kill Xie Jin.

Just as she was thinking about this, Xie Jin suddenly uttered two words coldly: "Don't move!"

Feng Qingluan looked at him, and Xie Jin's eyes, as cold as an eagle, were fixed on the cliff behind her.

Feng Qingluan's alarm bells rang instantly, and all the muscles in her body tensed up.

Because she saw, in the reflection of the firelight, a huge figure poked out from diagonally above her head, until it blocked all the moonlight in front of the cave, casting a creepy shadow.
