"In the past, I thought that the queen would be more attracted to me." Feng Lanxiu's face turned bitter. "Of the three heirs of my father, I am the oldest, and my status is not lower than them. My mother and concubine treat everything as the queen.
She is the first, neither strives for favor nor is arrogant, and is even similar to an ordinary concubine in the palace..."
Feng Lanxiu couldn't continue what he said, and his eyes were slightly red. He had always known about the situation of his mother and concubine in the palace, and he also understood that her mother and concubine had been secretly planning for him.
Just to please the queen, the mother-in-law gave up everything.
"How is the Queen?" Yu Yuxi was startled and asked urgently.
"That day, Feng Yu casually mentioned that Concubine Xu Shu and the Queen looked alike. I took a closer look and found that there was indeed some resemblance." Feng Lanxiu said in a low voice. His heart skipped a beat at that time, as if he understood.
It seemed like something. After I went back and thought about it a lot, I discovered some details.
"Concubine Xu Shu looks like the empress? What does this... mean?" Yu Yuxi was also shocked.
"I don't know either. There may be another relationship between the two, which I can't find out right now. But because of this, I thought about my second brother's affairs carefully and felt that the queen might not really like me." Feng Lanxiu
He let out a long sigh, looked sleepy, frowned, and continued.
"The concubine that the second brother married is the queen's niece and legitimate daughter, while I, the king, am just Yu Lizhu, a concubine."
She is a legitimate concubine, and she is also the eldest daughter. Everyone knows which side Yu Xiang will take when he and his second brother fight. Even if Yu Lizhu is favored again, she will only be a concubine.
Feng Lanxiu didn't think so much before. What he thought was that although Yu Lizhu was a concubine, she was very favored by the queen and the prime minister. It was impossible to tell who the queen was partial to, but now she thought about it.
Come here, will the Yufu really abolish the eldest daughter of a principal concubine just for the position of a concubine?
Is Yu Lizhu’s identity so important?
"The king is marrying Zhang Wanyin. Zhang Wanyin has the title of princess, but in fact, she has nothing. The king's concubine is you. It's not that you are not good. In fact, the king originally wanted to marry you, but in the end he didn't.
Knowing who has harmed you and turned you into a concubine, there are not many people in this palace who can actually do it."
"You...you mean you are the queen..." Yu Yuxi's face turned pale and she almost stood up. She had actually guessed this. She could do tricks in the palace and left no trace in the end. People in this harem would not
There are many, and the Queen is one of them, but she doesn't understand what benefits the Queen has gained from this.
She always felt that there must be no good for the Queen, and she must have done nothing. Now that King Duan said the same thing, her suspicions were suddenly shaken, and she could no longer control the shock on her face.
Feng Lanxiu stretched out his finger and shook it in front of her: "Let's not talk about this first. Let's talk about the Xuanpinghou Mansion and the Minister of War. They are both concubines, your father... and the Minister of War."
The meaning of these words was not fully understood, but Yu Yuxi understood them all, and her face became paler. She could not find the reason for the queen to assassinate her before, but now she felt that there was a reason.
"Because... Your Highness?" Yu Yuxi asked tremblingly.
"Yes, it's because I, the king, can't help you. Maybe it was originally to deal with me. If you are the main concubine, how can those side concubines be in my eyes? Your identity can also suppress me.
You can live with them, but you are not the main concubine, you are the side concubine, a side concubine who is just like Yu Liyue..."
Feng Lanxiu said angrily.
Yu Yuxi understood the words without saying a word, and her face turned red, then white, and then green again, so it was the queen who wanted to pull her down from the position of concubine.
On the one hand, it is to deal with Prince Duan, and on the other hand, it also allows her niece to have a future. The princess is still favored and is the biggest enemy of other concubines. However, even the queen is inconvenient to intervene in the affairs of the prince's room.
, so the Queen wants to deal with herself like this?
Her breathing became rapid involuntarily, hatred flashed in her eyes, but she lowered her head slightly to hide the hatred in her eyes. It turned out to be the queen.
"Xier, I still need your help in this matter." Feng Lanxiu said when he saw that the heat was almost over.
"Your Majesty, please tell me." Yu Yuxi said.
"You are my most beloved woman. If it were not absolutely necessary now, I would not let you suffer the slightest injustice. But now I have to do this. I only hope that you can get along well with Zhang Wanyin and Xu Anjiao, and work together to overcome the difficulties someday.
, this king will definitely help you become his wife, but now..."
Feng Lanxiu was devastated.
The woman he loves is right in front of him, but he can't give her the best, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable, not to mention that he has to ask the woman he loves to compromise.
"Xier, don't worry, I will only share everything in the future with you, only you..." This was the promise made by Feng Lanxiu.
He knows that Yu Yuxi is smart, and he needs Yu Yuxi to plan for her, not only for everything she represents behind her back, but also for her to make all sacrifices for him.
For this reason, he can promise her a bright future.
"My lord, you said before that Zhang Wanyin...she..." Yu Yuxi's voice trembled.
"Don't worry, she will be yours from now on." Feng Lanxiu said softly, "Now that she is the official concubine, she is just a facade. At all times, you must be respectful and polite to her. Remember... everything in the future.
It's all yours, everything she enjoys now was originally yours."
Feng Lanxiu said beguilingly: "It's only temporary now. She can't threaten you. The Marquis of Zhennan is no longer her father. She is not you. We have been childhood sweethearts for a long time."
"Your Majesty... what do you need me to do?" Yu Yuxi understood. She grasped the handkerchief tightly and told herself that everything was temporary. King Duan said this to himself, which showed his deep affection. Moreover, it was all the Queen who harmed him.
, it was the Queen herself who caused her to look like this...
"Xi'er, you have to make good friends with Zhang Wanyin, become good sisters, and invite her out of the palace from time to time. She wants to investigate her father's affairs. This matter is related to my future strength. If you can help, you must help her.
"Feng Lanxiu ordered carefully, his eyes unclear.
Originally he didn't like Zhang Wanyin, but it was just a useless vase sent to him by the queen. Zhang Wanyin's overly cautious temper made Feng Lanxiu feel that he was scheming when he was young. He didn't like this temperament and felt that Zhang Wanyin was too cautious.
Most of the women in the palace are like this, which is really boring.
It's even more unpleasant to do this at such a young age.
Moreover, as a vase, her looks are not good enough, and she cannot compare to Yu Yuxi.
But he didn't expect that this vase might have another great benefit. After Zhang Wanyin told him frankly some things about Zhennan Hou, Feng Lanxiu felt that Zhang Wanyin was not without merit.
The things left by the Marquis of Zhennan are very good. As long as they are found, they will be of great help to him. He is also secretly raising money, and it is hard to say that he can't compare with it.
Originally, he thought that the throne would fall into his hands with certainty, but now he had a vague feeling that the queen really preferred his second brother, but he had not tasted it before.
If Feng Yu hadn't said that casually, he would have almost given up...
Help Zhang Wanyin find the property left by Zhenmian Hou. With such a large amount of property, he will definitely step onto the throne of God. This is very important to Zhang Wanyin.
He has Zhang Wanyin on one side and Yu Yuxi on the other. He has to take care of both of them. These are the two major helpers for him to ascend to the throne of God...
When the imperial doctor came over, Feng Lanxiu accompanied him to see the doctor. As the doctor said before, Yu Yuxi's health was not very good. She was a little weak and mentally disturbed. She also thought too much on weekdays. The imperial doctor warned
You should be open-minded, go to bed early and get up early so that your body can be taken care of, and avoid being overjoyed or sad.
Feng Yu sent someone to look for Feng Lanxiu. The two of them left the Xuanping Hou Mansion together. There was no male master in the mansion. Mrs. Zhou was a female family member, so she could only ask the housekeeper to send off the two royal heirs.
Yu Xijiao had already returned to Yaoshui Pavilion and was talking to the maid about some things about the embroidery room. Suddenly she heard the maid outside reporting: "Third girl, the second girl is here?"
"Please come in, second sister." Yu Xijiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said.
Qingyue hurried over and lifted the curtain, and Yu Yuxi walked in slowly with the maid.
After the two parties saw the ceremony, the guest and host sat down.
"Third sister, King Duan invited the imperial physician to come over, and he happened to be at our house. I'll ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at Third Sister, okay?" Yu Yuxi said gently.
"Thank you, second sister." Yu Xijiao smiled and nodded.
The imperial doctor was outside the door. After he came in and checked Yu Xijiao's pulse, he came to the same conclusion as Yu Yuxi. The two girls from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion were not in good health. If they had not been booked to the royal family early,
I'm afraid this marriage won't be too appropriate. Who would want to marry a sickly woman?
Yu Xijiao's prescription remained unchanged. The imperial doctor thought it was pretty good and could continue to use it. After a few more words of advice, the imperial doctor left.
"Third sister, father...why hasn't he come back yet?" Yu Yuxi asked tentatively after expressing her kindness. She had just asked, but Yu Ruiwen hadn't come back yet.
In the past, when my father was called to the residence of Princess An and the eldest daughter, he would often go back early after being scolded.
This time, Prince Duan and Prince Qi were here again. Not to mention that they left in a hurry. I heard that my father almost fell down when he went out, and now he has not come back...
"I don't know. If the second sister is worried, ask Mrs. Zhou to send someone to ask." Yu Xijiao said calmly.
"Yes, then I'll go find Mrs. Zhou first." Yu Yuxi said obediently, stood up and said goodbye to Yu Xijiao.
Yu Xijiao gave her a short farewell and sent her to the door of the house. She watched her leave with thoughtful eyes. This was different from Yu Yuxi's recent behavior. What did Prince Duan say?
Yu Ruiwen came back after dinner, and the steward who had been sent back came back with him, and he was not the only one who came back, he also brought Yu Xijiao's eldest brother who was rumored to be coming back, Crown Prince Xuanping...
