The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 971 Throw it out! (2)
"Yes!" Feng Liancheng's attitude remained tepid, and he bowed and saluted, "If the queen mother has no other orders, then I will leave first."

"Go!" Empress Chen said without looking back.

Feng Liancheng's lips curled up, he turned around and walked out with the corner of his robe lifted.

After seeing him off, the Gu Nai who was close to Empress Chen came in from outside the hall, seeing her unkind expression, she tentatively said: "Your Highness has an unruly temper and is not easy to control. Your Majesty has always known about it. If you have something to say, you can teach it slowly, now that the empress is still ill, don't be angry with His Highness any more."

"Hmph!" Empress Chen turned to look at her with a gloomy and cold face, her lips curled up in a sneer, and she said with resentment: "After all, they are not biological mother and child. There is a distance between them. How can you tell Bengong to be at ease?"

"Your Majesty, are you worrying too much?" Grandma Gu was taken aback, she hurriedly turned her head to look around, making sure that there was no one outside the hall, she turned around and went to close the hall door, before going to help Empress Chen sit down on the couch "Although His Highness the Crown Prince was not born to his mother, he was also brought up under her knees. For more than ten years, he has always been respectful and obedient to his mother. But he is a generalist. Even if the Sixth Highness is gone, the Fourth Highness is still a big trouble, and His Highness the Crown Prince is very clear about it. It must be because the empress is ill recently, and she is too worried, so she thinks wildly again? "

"I hope it's just that I'm thinking too much." Empress Chen said, but her expression didn't soften, "There is no one in the Zhou family, and it's because he has nothing to rely on behind him that I dare to keep him by my side. , if he is smart enough, he should follow Ben Gong's arrangement and try his best to stabilize his position. But what does he mean now? It has been a few years, if it wasn't for this accidental news, Ben Gong would have been totally fooled by him Here, what does he mean by letting all the women sent to him by the palace hang out in the backyard? Knowing that he is in the royal family, how important is the emperor's heir? Could it be that he is deliberately beating the palace just to make things difficult for the palace? face?"

Mentioning this matter, and thinking about Feng Liansheng's attitude a moment ago, Empress Chen became even more angry.

"His Royal Highness is young and energetic, so he probably didn't deliberately disobey the empress." Gu Nai said, just going along with the words to comfort her, and didn't dare to say too much.

No matter how arrogant Feng Liancheng was, as Empress Chen said, the emperor's heir was his big bargaining chip to stabilize his position at this time, even if it was only for this point, he absolutely shouldn't do it.

If it is said that the women arranged by Empress Chen are not satisfied--

Men, in the face of beauty, who would wholeheartedly reject it?

Empress Chen was sulking for a long time, but finally she couldn't calm down, she said: "The palace has been exhausted for the past two days, you first sent a post to the prime minister's mansion, and called Leng to come to the palace in two days, her family The second daughter is the most suitable one, it's better to settle it earlier."

"Yes!" Nanny Gu agreed.

Empress Chen was exhausted, she rubbed her temples, and pointed to the secret channel that was still nearby: "It's all burned, and it's easy to spread the word, so we'll be caught."

When Feng Liancheng came out of Fengming Palace, he had a smug face when he walked in the courtyard, but the moment he stepped out of the courtyard, the expression on his face instantly collapsed.

"Your Highness!" Li Wei, who was waiting outside, rushed to meet him.

Feng Liancheng's complexion was unkind, and he only asked in a cold voice as he walked, "What's the matter? Is there any other news from Xiyue?"

"No!" Li Wei said, noticing that his tone was not good, he deliberately became a little more careful in his words, "However, in the past few days, the Second Highness's residence has called the imperial physician very frequently, and it seems that the condition is very unstable. I got a secret report saying that he had a letter of resignation sent to the palace in the morning, but the emperor stopped him and asked him to stay in Beijing to recuperate. This matter—do we need to intervene?"

When Feng Liancheng heard this, his steps suddenly paused.

In the past, he didn't even bother to take a second look at his unknown second brother, but in fact, when the second prince returned to Beijing this time, all his behaviors were the same as usual. , did not go to the court to discuss politics, and apart from going to the palace to see him on the day he returned to Beijing, he only went to the palace to greet Emperor Chongming once on the day of Fengxu's wedding, and he has always been very low-key and polite.Although he was putting pressure on Emperor Chongming because of Princess Fanchang's marriage, there was no evidence that he manipulated the matter.

But I don't know why, this time the second prince returned to the capital, but Feng Liancheng always felt suspicious in his heart, always felt weird, and subconsciously paid more attention to it.

"Do you also think he has some other purpose in returning to Beijing this time?" Feng Liancheng asked after pondering.

"This subordinate is dull." Li Wei said hurriedly, bowing his head with shame on his face, "This subordinate just thinks that His Highness seems to have some doubts about His Second Highness, so people pay more attention to his movements."

Feng Liancheng thought about it, but felt that it was ridiculous for him to look like a soldier.

"Forget it!" Feng Liancheng said: "It's because I'm worrying too much. His physical condition is there. Even if there is something in him, it doesn't matter. Father is wise, it is impossible to hand over the ancestor's foundation to him Come on. If he wants to stay, let him stay, we don't need to intervene, just continue to be watched."

"Yes!" Li Wei replied, nodded slightly, thought for a while, and asked again, "Your Highness, is it credible that you said the assassination of the Lord of Xiyue?"

"Why not believable?" Feng Liancheng smiled coldly, and blurted out, "You don't think it's a scene he directed and acted, do you?"

Li Wei's expression was embarrassing, it was obvious that he had been guessed.

Feng Liancheng glanced at him sideways, but shook his head affirmatively, "He has no reason to do that. Although Chu Qifeng's handling of affairs is sophisticated, but his age and qualifications are there. Don't think that Chu Yi'an has never returned to the court to manage politics. Zhongneng has always been safe and peaceful, but he is all relying on the top to suppress him, otherwise Chu Qifeng will not be able to convince the crowd, and there will definitely be trouble."

"The subordinate just can't understand why he has been hiding from the world since he is the king of a country." Li Wei said, finally expressing the confusion that had lingered in his heart for a long time.

"If you ask me, who should I ask?" Feng Liancheng laughed, but didn't answer the question instead.

Chu Yi'an's actions really made people understand.

To rule the world, above tens of thousands of people, this can almost be included as the ideal of all passionate men in the world.

But at the moment when the great cause of the world was taken into his pocket without any effort, that man chose to leave the pass, and instead handed over the power of the world to his son.

"Although the reason is unknown, one thing is clear. He—seems to have no intention of being the emperor at all." Feng Liancheng thought to himself, although he found such thoughts difficult to understand, he still ordered calmly: "But even so He will not take off the emperor's laurel crown for the time being, at least he will occupy that seat for three to five years, and use this time to stabilize Chu Qifeng's position and rectify the court until Chu Qifeng can fully assume the role of the king of the country. Only then can he completely let go of his responsibilities, not now."
