Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"..." The unlucky man listened to his fluent Chu official language, his pupils shrank slightly, and finally asked,

"Have you been to Shangjing, the capital of Chu? Have you seen me there before? If you have seen me before, how could you not know my name?"

He also used the official language of Chu.

"I have indeed been to Shangjing, the capital of Chu, but I have never seen you there."

Feng Yuxi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard him say this, thinking that this man must be from a high family background. From what he said, he sounded like a famous person in the capital of Chu State.

"Then where have you seen me? Since you didn't know my identity, why did you bother to save me?" The man insisted on getting an answer from him.

"Why so many whys? I like you, so I saved you to be my slave. Not only do I want you to be obedient and do chores for me, but you also have to warm my bed." Feng Yuxi said unhappily.

The man just thought he was talking nonsense and looked at him speechlessly without believing a word he said.

Feng Yuxi knew this would happen, and didn't expect him to believe it.

"Can you tell me your name now?" Feng Yuxi asked him again.

"Zhang Zhanfeng."

Hearing this, Feng Yuxi stared at him for a long while and guessed,

"The Zhang family of the General's Mansion? How come you, a young general from the Zhang family of the Chu State, would come to the Great Zhao?

You still look so miserable, your family won’t be destroyed by the Emperor of Chu…”

It’s not that Feng Yuxi is smart, there are just too many plots like this, and even though he doesn’t usually watch ancient movies or TV dramas, he can think of them the first time.

The plot of a general who is so meritorious that he shocks the emperor and is loyal to his heart, but is framed by a villain, and his entire family of loyal warriors is killed because of the emperor's suspicion is too familiar.

Zhang Zhanfeng responded painfully, covering his red eyes, and choking his voice, "My entire family was executed, and I was the only one who survived."

"...You are so miserable." Feng Yuxi sighed.

Although the plot is very cliché, but if it happens to a living person, it would be like the collapse of heaven and earth, an unbearable pain!

For him, living must mean enduring humiliation and survival, every breath is extremely painful, and every minute and every second is torture.

Feng Yuxi took a step forward and hugged his head. Since Zhang Zhanfeng was sitting, it was convenient for him to move.

Feng Yuxi exerted some strength, pressed his head into his arms, and said softly,

"Revenge, young man. Not only should we kill the dog emperor of Chu, we should also wipe out his entire family and give the Chu royal family a new surname.

Who else fanned the flames and framed your Zhang family? Let’s kill them all, okay?”

"...Okay!" Zhang Zhanfeng was trembling all over, but he hugged him back with his arms very tightly, and his tears wet Feng Yuxi's clothes.

Feng Yuxi felt his body trembling and his clothes wet with tears, and felt a little distressed.

"...By the way, how old are you this year?" Feng Yuxi asked him.

"nineteen."

Very good, he is an adult, but he is too young, a real little wolfdog.

"Are you married? Engaged, childhood marriage, and having a lover also count." Feng Yuxi asked him again.

"...Does this have anything to do with revenge?" Zhang Zhanfeng pushed him away, feeling a little embarrassed because of his loss of control just now. He wiped away his tears and said in a calm voice,

"None of what you said exists."

"Nineteen is not young. Many people are fathers. You are from a famous family and you are also excellent. Why don't the situations I just mentioned exist?"

Feng Yuxi stared at him and asked again, "Do you like men? Are you a homosexual?"

"...I don't like men, I'm not gay." Zhang Zhanfeng frowned and said, "My grandmother passed away and I had to observe mourning, which delayed the marriage proposal and it has been delayed until now.

"Are you really not a homosexual? Then do you have a maid?" Feng Yuxi asked again.

Even though she was the object of his erotic dreams, his heart was still broken by her tragic experience.

However, if the other party did not like men from the beginning, Feng Yuxi did not want to turn him gay or have a relationship with him.

Except for him, all members of the Zhang family were wiped out. Finding a woman to marry and leave a descendant for the Zhang family is what any normal person would want.

Moreover, although the other party did not look immature at all, nineteen years old was too young for Feng Yuxi.

In view of his tragic experience, Feng Yuxi felt that all his thoughts were beastly, and now he just wanted to treat him as a younger brother and accompany him to take revenge.

"Our Zhang family has an ancestral precept that we don't arrange for a maid to sleep with us before marriage. Why do you keep asking me this question?" Zhang Zhanfeng asked in confusion.

If it weren't for the words of revenge he just said, which made him decide to accept this person and temporarily let down his guard, Zhang Zhanfeng wouldn't have wanted to pay any attention to him.

"Didn't I just tell you that I want you to warm my bed? You don't like men, and you're so miserable, so I won't force you."

Feng Yuxi smiled, touched his face, and sighed secretly.

In the end, I never tasted the meat.

Zhang Zhanfeng's eyes widened...

Did he really mean it?!

This was the first time Zhang Zhanfeng had encountered such a thing. He felt that he should be angry, but he couldn't do it in front of his handsome face.

No, no, no, it has nothing to do with how handsome he is.

It must be because this was his savior, and the words he said in support of his revenge were completely in line with his inner thoughts, making him feel like he was no longer alone in the world.

“It is impossible for you to take revenge and destroy the State of Chu by yourself, but you can gather allies. The Prince Su, Prince Jing, and the Emperor of Zhao are all your allies.

With your status as the young general of the Zhang family, once you sincerely surrender to the Great Zhao, you will surely be given important positions."

Feng Yuxi stopped talking to him and urged him,

"Prince Su is waiting to see you outside. Make a decision now whether you want to see him or not. Don't make him wait too long."

Zhang Zhanfeng closed his eyes to hide his inner struggle, and in a moment, he opened his eyes again, stood up and said to Feng Yuxi,

"I'm going to see Prince Su."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Feng Yuxi smiled warmly and comforted him.

“Whether it’s Prince Su, the Great Zhao Emperor, or Prince Jing, they are all ambitious, capable, and broad-minded rulers, many times better than your dog emperor of Chu.

Don’t have any patriotic feelings. You don’t even have a family, so what country do you need?

It doesn’t matter whether you are a Chu people or not. If we go back hundreds of years, we have the same ancestor. Don’t put shackles on yourself and don’t care about any insults.

If you really care, then let me tell you another fact: history books are written by the victors.

So, it would be better to change a leader, ahem, change to a wise ruler, so that while avenging my family, I can also display my talents and live up to my life in vain. "

Zhang Zhanfeng's eyes lit up because of his words, and then he bowed solemnly to Feng Yuxi to thank him for his guidance.

"Let's go." Feng Yuxi smiled.

-

Prince Su and the others were getting a little impatient. When he saw someone finally come out, his expression relaxed a little and he looked up at the man in front of him.

With just one glance, Prince Su could tell that this man often went to the battlefield.

Before he could ask, Prince Su saw the other party bowing and announcing his identity in the unskilled official language of the Great Zhao.

"My name is Zhang Zhanfeng, my father is Zhang Zhenyue, and I am meeting Prince Su!"

"You said you are from the Zhang family of Chu?" Prince Su was surprised and stood up. His whole demeanor changed and he asked majestically,

"How can you prove your identity?"

"I have not disguised myself. As long as Your Majesty draws a portrait and sends someone to the State of Chu to verify, my identity can be proved." Zhang Zhanfeng said calmly.

Prince Su stared at him for a moment, without saying anything suspicious, and just asked him, "How did you escape?"

“The Zhang family still has some connections. Before the execution, they replaced me with other death row prisoners. I wanted to stay in Chu State to find evidence of the Zhang family’s slander and redress their crimes.

However, the State of Chu could no longer accommodate me, and as soon as I showed up, I was hunted down.

I fled all the way to Da Zhao and almost died several times. Finally, I made it to Da Zhao and escaped the pursuit.

When I finally arrived in the capital, I was unlucky enough to stray into a murder scene, and then I passed out due to my injuries and exhaustion. When I woke up, I was imprisoned in the Dali Temple. "

Zhang Zhanfeng recounted his dangerous experiences over the past month in a light-hearted manner.

"Then why did you pretend to be deaf and dumb before? What is your purpose in coming to the capital?" Prince Su asked him again, with some vague guesses.

“I dare not reveal my identity, because I am unsure of what will happen if my identity is exposed. I am afraid that I will be killed before I can see the Emperor of Great Zhao.

It was not until I was rescued from prison by Doctor Feng and brought to Prince Su's Palace that I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that I was temporarily safe.

I have been struggling these days, and just now I heard Doctor Feng say that the prince wants to see me, which made me make up my mind..."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhanfeng lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and said to King Su in a sonorous and powerful voice,

"I want to serve the prince, I want revenge, I want to destroy the Chu royal family!"

"Aren't you afraid of being branded as a traitor?" Prince Su asked him.

"Don't be afraid. History books are written by the victors. The Chu royal family is no longer worthy of my service, and I no longer call myself a Chu citizen. The Emperor of Great Zhao is a wise ruler, and the prince is a famous general. You are the masters worthy of following!"

Zhang Zhanfeng learned and applied what he learned, and his words were ambitious and sincere, and he did not forget to flatter.

"Hahaha, good!" Upon hearing this, Prince Su laughed with satisfaction, bent down and helped Zhang Zhanfeng up from the ground, patted his shoulder and encouraged him.

"I admire your courage. Take good care of yourself first. I'll show you your abilities in two days."

"Yes, sir! I will not let Your Highness down!" Zhang Zhanfeng clasped his fists and said confidently.

Prince Su looked at him admiringly a few more times and liked his spirit.

Moreover, he had also heard of Major General Zhang. He knew that he was a martial arts expert and brave in combat. What was even more rare was that he was not a reckless man but a smart general.

On the battlefield, there are often reckless men, but talented generals are hard to find.

If this chapter of the war can be used, the State of Chu will have given them a great gift.

Prince Su suddenly felt that he was very lucky. If he could get Zhang Zhanfeng's sincere allegiance, his chances of winning the Chu-Zhao war in two or three years would increase by at least 30%, or maybe even 50%.

"Doctor Feng, you did a good job." Prince Su did not forget to praise Feng Yuxi who was standing beside him, nor did he erase his contribution.

Without Feng Yuxi's mediation, Zhang Zhanfeng would not have joined him so quickly.

"It has nothing to do with the common people. It is the prince who is worthy of following and serving."

Feng Yuxi smiled faintly, and then took the initiative to ask Prince Su if he had anything else to ask him.

With Zhang Zhanfeng around, it was too shameful for Prince Su to not say that he wanted to do a paternity test with the Crown Prince.

The fewer people who knew about this, the better. In fact, he didn't want anyone else to know about it except Feng Yuxi and himself.

Prince Su decided to talk to Feng Yuxi alone about this matter another day and ask him to keep it secret.

"It's okay. I heard that you were too unlucky these days and couldn't treat Concubine Mu Shu, so I came to take a look."

Prince Su asked him, "When will this bad luck of yours end?"

"It will be fine tomorrow." Feng Yuxi said with a smile.

The moment Zhang Zhanfeng took refuge with Prince Su and Prince Su accepted him, Feng Yuxi inexplicably felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

Because he facilitated this event, he gained a lot of merits all of a sudden, and his bad luck period was over.

"That's good." Prince Su nodded with satisfaction, and did not ask how he judged this mysterious thing. He just said to Zhang Zhanfeng,

"There are horse racing tracks and martial arts training grounds in the mansion. If you want to use them, ask the servants in the mansion to show you the way."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Zhanfeng said gratefully.

-

After Prince Su left Feng Yuxi, he immediately wrote a simple secret memorial and asked the eunuch to deliver it to the emperor.

The emperor was also surprised when he saw it.

The only surviving major general of the Zhang family of the Chu State actually came to the Great Zhao and served under Prince Su. He was determined to take revenge and destroy the royal family of the Chu State.

This is a delicious pie falling from the sky.

The emperor was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

After learning the whole story, the emperor sighed to the eunuch Wang who was beside him,

"Since I recognized King Jing, things seem to have become much smoother. The Ministry of Justice has been taken back and the Crown Prince has been suppressed. Now there is a chance that the problem in Qingzhou will be solved. The State of Chu has also sent us a great gift..."

"Your Highness Prince Jing is a man of great fortune." Eunuch Wang complimented with a smile.

The emperor smiled and asked Eunuch Wang, "Has there been any new news from Gulan?"

Eunuch Wang shook his head, knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, there is no good news yet."

"I don't blame you. Thirty years have passed. How can it be so easy to find someone? Even if we find a suspected person, it's hard to confirm..."

The emperor sighed, but was not in a hurry.

-

When King Jing learned of Zhang Zhanfeng's identity, he was surprised for a moment, then fell silent.

What you wish for will come true. When you feel sleepy, someone will offer you a pillow.

When King Jing learned from Ye Qingzhi's dream that the Chu-Zhao war two or three years later would not go smoothly, he felt like a heavy stone was pressing on his heart.

But now, the only remaining direct bloodline of the Zhang family, the former general's mansion of the Chu State, has come to the door on its own initiative, which undoubtedly adds a lot of bargaining chips.

Based on the Zhang family's prestige in the Chu army and their understanding of the Chu army, this is an important chess piece.

King Jing shared this good news with Ye Qingzhi and said to her with a smile,

"Qingqing, you have brought me another great help."

"Your Highness, what does this have to do with me? That's the credit of Doctor Feng." Ye Qingzhi glared at him with a smile. She was not someone who would take credit for something.

"You are the one who brought Feng Yuxi and Feng Niankang here. In the final analysis, it is naturally your credit." Prince Jing hugged her and kissed her, saying in a sweet voice,

"You are my little lucky star."

When Ye Qingzhi heard that the leader had taken the initiative to take credit for her, she nodded and agreed.

"Your Highness is right! It's just that seeing Doctor Feng is so unlucky, the more you say that I am blessed, the more scared I become. How about I donate some more silver?"

She simply had too much money and didn't know where to spend it.

If you have money but can't spend it, the pleasure of saving money will be reduced by half, and it will be meaningless.

Spending money to do good deeds and accumulate merit is better than letting the money rot in a warehouse.

"How about you donate money to Doctor Feng's medical school?" King Jing said.

"The students enrolled in his medical school are either orphans or commoners. Daughters from official families would not show their faces in public to study medicine.

Orphans and commoner women had no money and it was difficult for them to pay tuition. Even if medical schools could generate income from seeing patients and delivering babies in the future, the income would be limited.

Therefore, this medical school is almost like running a charity, and the money required is definitely not small.”

Ye Qingzhi had no objection. Since it was run by a fellow villager, she would also invest money to support it.

Maybe, this can help the fellow villager go back, and maybe her way back is also hidden in it.
