Chapter Twenty

The queen's face was full of smiles, but she had already made a calculation in her heart: Although it was a disrespectful idea, how many years can the emperor be able to stay awake and govern now that he is old? There are seven princes in the palace.

Except for the tallest third prince, Hyun Chen Yu, it is my son who has the greatest chance of becoming the future emperor.

Hyun Chen Yu has just gotten married, and the partner is just a young marquis’ daughter. If Feng Shui Qing and my son get married quickly, I can use the connections and resources of the Feng family to help Mandrill inherit the throne in the future!

Only in this way will all my years of hard work and calculations be in vain. Besides, the third lady of the Feng family is famous for being stupid and naive. Even if she becomes Queen Dayao in the future, she will still be firmly in the hands of this palace!

Feng Shuiqing looked at the queen's kind-hearted expression and felt nothing but sadness in her heart.

This queen sells really good medicine in her gourd! In the last life, Hyun Chenan wanted to use me to ascend the throne, but in this life, the queen has set her sights on me again. Mother and son are of the same mind, does it mean that Hyun Chenan also insists on marrying me because of my status?

Thinking of this, Feng Shuiqing felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, even worse than when she knew that Hyun Chenan was using her.

She didn't understand why she was like this.

Just when Feng Shuiqing and the Queen were thinking about their own thoughts, Hyunchen Mandrill, who had been silent, finally said coldly: "Mother, the marriage is not urgent. Xiaoqing is still young, and his son has not yet been crowned king. I don't want to detain her."

In the palace."

Little did they know that at this time, Hyun Chen Mandrill was also planning secretly.

Unexpectedly, Jing Feng Wanrou took advantage of the opportunity and put the plan on the agenda prematurely.

That was just rhetoric, and it was indeed true. Only with this arrangement can we successfully investigate the matter, leaving the Queen distracted and focusing solely on me inheriting the throne.

But if I say this, will it cause her to misunderstand that I am performing a double act with the Queen?

Feng Shui Qing, some things cannot be said to protect you, can you understand my heart...

"Choose the king?!" The queen's tone unconsciously became higher. She glanced at the servants in the room. After they all left, she spoke urgently: "Mr.

How can you be an emperor if you can’t be a prince?”

Yuan Chenzhao glanced at Feng Shuiqing, his eyes filled with warmth that was not easily noticed: "My son doesn't want to be the emperor."

"You!" The queen was furious and pointed at Yuan Chen with trembling hands: "My silly son! Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"

"I……"

Just when Huanchen Mandrill was about to refute again, Feng Shui Qing saw that the momentum was wrong, his legs went weak and he fainted.

“Feng Shui is clear!”

Yuan Chen was so frightened by this sudden fainting that he quickly held her in his arms and walked quickly towards the Nuan Pavilion in the east of Dawn Palace.

Because the smell of this house is really disgusting.

Feng Shuiqing closed her eyes tightly, feeling the warmth of Xuanchen Mandrill's embrace and the unique fragrance of his body, and her heart became confused.

Xiao Tiantian's rather confused voice sounded: "Host, why are you pretending to be faint?"

"If you don't pretend to be faint, the queen will most likely think that I won't let her son become emperor. You saw the battle just now. This woman is very thoughtful!" Feng Shuiqing replied angrily in her consciousness.

Xiao Tiantian suddenly said: "Oh! What you said makes sense, but just now you thought that Yuanchen Mandrill wanted to use you to ascend the throne? But he also said that he doesn't want to be the emperor."

Feng Shuiqing didn't want to respond to Xiao Tiantian anymore, but continued to be alone and confused.

It’s not surprising that the mother and son are playing a double act. It’s really a good show when one person is black and the other is white.

But... the dream that day... Hyun Chen Mandrill was dressed in red, and he said he loved me...

That was a dream from my previous life. Why did he say he loved me after I died in my previous life?

Is it possible that he has also been reborn?

"Feng Shui Qing, my mother is gone, you can wake up."

Just when Feng Shuiqing was still thinking about it, Xuanchen Mandrill's voice brought her back to reality.

She felt that she was still hanging in the air and should still be held in her arms.

Moreover, how did he know that I was pretending to be fainted? Wouldn't it be too shameful to wake up now? No, I will "faint" to the end and never wake up!

Huanchen Mandrill patiently called out again: "Feng Shui is clear."

Feng Shuiqing closed his eyelids tightly: "..."

Hyunchen Mandrill came close to her face, blew some air through his nose and blew it onto her nose.

It made her nostrils itchy. She wanted to rub it but couldn't move it, so she had to open and close her nostrils to get some relief.

Yuan Chenzhi was amused by her appearance and smiled even more. He said in a ruffian voice: "Okay, since you are still fainting, I will give you a kiss."

Feng Shui Qing: "!!!"

She opened her eyes and hurriedly tried to push his face away with her palms, but failed to control the direction, and stabbed her index finger squarely into Hyunchen Mandrill's eyes.

Hyun Chen was in pain: "Ah! Hiss..."

Immediately, he loosened his hands and with a "dong" sound, Feng Shui Qing fell straight from his arms to the ground.

Feng Shuiqing covered the buzzing back of her head: "It hurts! Hyun Chen Mandrill! It knocked me to death!"

"Why do I always get hurt by you?!" Hyunchen Mandrill's tone was extremely helpless. Hot tears flowed from his poked eyes, which were sore and swollen. He could only close his eyes tightly and could not open them.

It happened that Pei Guo walked in to report Feng Wanrou's execution. He saw one of them standing covering his eyes and the other sitting on the ground covering the back of his head. Their faces were filled with anger. This scene was truly unprecedented!

Therefore, Pei Gao had no choice but to say weakly: "Your Highness, Princess Qinghui. The Empress asked her subordinates to tell you two that the fourth lady of the Feng family is at your disposal. At this time, she has received the first round of flogging. May I ask?

Where will she live before her next execution?"

"Xizhi Palace."

Feng Shuiqing felt less pain now, stood up and answered coldly.

Pei Gao cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Even though Pei Gao couldn't figure it out, he didn't raise any questions.

He knew that Xizhi Palace was the place where guilty concubines were imprisoned in the palace. To put it bluntly, it was a cold palace. Therefore, he did not understand why Princess Qinghui wanted to let his little sister live there. But look at His Highness’s attitude towards Princess Qinghui.



Tsk tsk tsk...

Since I am His Highness’s sweetheart, I will do my best! There is no doubt about it!

What Pei Gao didn't know was that Xizhi Palace was the last place where Feng Shui Qing lived before her death. She was tortured and humiliated there, and she even watched her child die in her arms.

Therefore, Feng Shui Qing wanted Feng Wanrou to have a brief experience of what kind of place Xizhi Palace is.

"Hey, Feng Shui Qing."

The sound of Yuan Chen Mandrill reached his ears. Feng Shuiqing turned around and saw his eyes dodge a little.

"you……"

Just as Huan Chen was about to ask, his heart suddenly tightened and the pain was like thousands of needles stabbing him. But he did not show any pain from his face, but immediately stopped talking and clenched his fists.

Feng Shui Qing saw that he was about to speak but hesitated, and was quite dissatisfied: "What do you want me to do? Why don't you say anything?"

She hates it when others talk half-talk.

Hyun Chen took a deep breath for a moment, and finally said slowly: "Your feet don't hurt anymore?"

Huh??

Only then did Feng Shuiqing remember the sprained ankle. She spun around in circles and said unexpectedly: "Really! I didn't expect that after all this trouble, my foot healed on its own!"

"Well, that's good."

Hyunchen Mandrill responded calmly and said nothing.

Feng Shuiqing looked at him suspiciously, feeling that this man must be hiding some secret from him.

Is it really what he thinks? Is he trying to use himself to seize the throne?

But it doesn’t make sense! With Hyunchen Mandrill’s status in the palace and the emperor’s favor, why go to all this trouble to play this game of chess?

Sigh...my mind is confused again...forget it.

The paste in Feng Shui Qing's brain became more and more muddy. After just that, I suddenly felt empty in my stomach and a little hungry.

She patted her belly, sat on the stool, poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

Hyunchen Mandrill didn't speak but kept staring at her from the side. At this moment, all her subtle movements and expressions were captured by him.

Then he called the maid and presented the "lunch" which was already past midnight.

Exquisite and delicious delicacies quickly filled the table. Feng Shuiqing moved his index fingers and picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and stuffed it into his mouth with the fragrant rice.

Hyunchen Mandrill didn't have much appetite, so he silently picked up the dishes for her, and suddenly noticed a new dish on the table that he had never seen before.

"What's this?"

The maid respectfully replied: "Reporting to His Highness the Ninth Prince, these are the green-headed mushrooms that the Dian Ming Kingdom paid tribute yesterday. Because they are rare and small in quantity, the emperor gave them all to us in Dawn Palace! I heard that these green-headed mushrooms only grow once a year.

, you are so precious! Your Majesty really loves you very much!"

When Yuan Chenzhi heard this, he was not moved at all. On the contrary, his heart sank, feeling bitter and astringent...

Father...is he still so intolerant of me?

No wonder he only knelt down for three hours that day before agreeing to marry him...

It turns out that he just wanted to send me away quickly and hated seeing me...

I remember that this green mushroom is poisonous if it is "accidentally" uncooked.

Oh, this old man is really "well-intentioned".

After thinking sadly for a moment, Xuanchen Mandrill shook his head and collected his thoughts. He was about to send the maid to take away the plate of mushrooms, but saw that the plate was mostly empty...

Hyunchen Mandrill suddenly panicked: "Where is this dish?! Feng Shui Qing? You've eaten all of it?!"

Feng Shuiqing's mouth was stuffed, and she rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Stingy guy, aren't there some more here? But these mushrooms are really delicious, with an incomparable aroma, thick and juicy flesh, and the mushrooms are indeed the most delicious!! Aww!

Woo..."

Seeing her eating happily, Hyunchen Mandrill felt as if a huge boulder had been smashed into his heart, with a clang...

But she didn't know how to act, so she couldn't let her scratch her throat and spit out the food.

After finishing the last cup of tea, Feng Shui Qing patted his satiated belly with satisfaction: "Wow... I'm still feeling full and comfortable... Hmm..."

Suddenly, Feng Shuiqing, who was smiling innocently, froze motionless.

Xuanchen Mandrill was suddenly frightened, and he quickly picked up his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Ah um..."

Feng Shui Qing took a bite of his hand that was waving in front of her eyes, and said happily: "Ah! These pig's trotters are so fragrant!"
