"Jing Xunce, please leave first. I don't want to see you now. Otherwise, I'll can't help but think of what happened," Mu Fengqie said.
Hearing Mu Fengqie's words, Jing Xunce immediately softened his imposing manner and obediently replied, "Okay." He took a look at Mu Fengqie without saying a word and walked out.
Jiang Yanqin looked at the two of them. "What happened between you two? It feels like there's deep hatred between you."
"Is it that serious?" Mu Fengqie raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Yes. You don't know. Your face looks like someone owes you a fortune," he said seriously.
"There are still some misunderstandings between him and me. Maybe things will get better after they're cleared up. Then we can get back to normal life."
Jiang Yanqin looked at Mu Fengqie, knowing that she didn't plan to tell him what had happened. But he had his ways to find out.
"Jiang Yanqin, I've heard something recently," Mu Fengqie said.
"What is it? Tell me quickly," Jiang Yanqin replied.
"It's rumored that the former emperor of the Southern Qing Kingdom had a favorite concubine. He originally planned to make her son the crown prince in the future. Unfortunately, a palace coup took place in the Southern Qing Kingdom later. The former emperor died, and the concubine was said to have followed him because she couldn't bear the news of his death. But the concubine's child disappeared. It's said that the concubine's surname was Jiang, and the child..."
"Stop talking!" Jiang Yanqin couldn't help trembling. Back then, his mother - concubine had risked her life to send him out. But before he could come back with reinforcements to save her, the news of her death spread from the palace. He didn't believe the story that his mother - concubine had been buried with the emperor! It must be the doing of Li Tongyu and Li Tongbai. The palace coup that year was also their work.
"I'm just saying this to confirm if you're that child back then."
"And after the confirmation?"
"What we're going to do next may dethrone the empress of the Southern Qing Kingdom. So I need to confirm if you're that child. If you are, we'll help you ascend the throne. If not, we'll find someone else."
"How do you plan to do it?"
"We've found the remaining forces of the Ruan family. He's the only survivor of the Ruan family. With his accusation against the empress and the support of the people, I don't believe the ministers in the court can stop us. Then you can ascend the throne."
"But don't forget, the current empress has a younger brother. Well, so what? He's a man after all. If he can't have an heir, do you think they'll still let him ascend the throne?"
"Oh? What do you plan to do?" Jiang Yanqin looked at Mu Fengqie curiously, wondering how her mind worked.
"For a man, just give him some medicine to make him impotent," Mu Fengqie said.
Jiang Yanqin twitched at the corner of his mouth. This woman was really ruthless, but he liked it.
"Okay. I'll wait for your good news." Now he was going to find out what had happened between this woman and Jing Xunce. Maybe he still had a chance to get involved.
Jiang Yanqin left happily. It was really worth coming back to the Southern Qing Kingdom this time. Not only could he regain the throne, but he might also win the beauty's heart. How wonderful! How wonderful! Hahaha...
Mu Fengqie looked at the people coming and going below and let her mind wander. Before she was captured by the empress of the Southern Qing Kingdom, she had sent back the secret guards her father had given her and told them to go back to the Pharmacist Valley to help her father. They had just returned today. If they had been with her, she might not have been captured by the empress.
Zhu Fei heard about what had happened to Mu Fengqie recently. Looking at Mu Fengqie's haggard face, Zhu Fei felt extremely distressed.
"Master, it's my fault. If I hadn't gone back, you wouldn't have suffered like this," Zhu Fei knelt on the ground, full of remorse.
Mu Fengqie helped her up and hugged her. "It's not your fault. Some things are just predestined. You can't avoid them. Besides, I'm fine now. Don't blame yourself." She had always regarded Zhu Fei as her friend and family. Moreover, this wasn't their fault.
"Master, no matter what happens in the future, I'll never leave you again," Zhu Fei said. They had finally found the master. The valley master had trusted them and handed the master over to them for protection, but they had let the master suffer so much. They really deserved to die.
"Zhu Fei, I need you to do something for me."
"Please give your order, master."
"Go and find out if the empress of the Southern Qing Kingdom has done anything wrong to the common people. Also, check on the current young prince."
"Yes, I'll go right away." How dare they bully their master? She would dig out all their secrets.
"Wait. Find a chance to put this medicine in the young prince's food."
"Master, what is this medicine?"
"Nothing. It's just some medicine to make him impotent." It was a pity that Mu Fengqie didn't know that Jing Xunce had already castrated the young prince. If she had known, she wouldn't have wasted her time. Since he was already a eunuch, why waste her medicine?
"Yes."
Since the empress of the Southern Qing Kingdom was so willing to cause trouble for her and make her feel bad, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
"Jing Xunce, get out here!" Jiang Yanqin stood at the door of Jing Xunce's room angrily. He was so angry! This Jing Xunce was really not a good person. He had made her suffer so much and endure so much grievance! He had been shocked when he found out the truth. He had said before that if Jing Xunce treated her badly, he wouldn't let him off!
Jing Xunce was in a bad mood in the room. Qie'er's misunderstanding of him had deepened, and he was full of anger with nowhere to vent. Then Jiang Yanqin came to him.
"Want to fight? Let's go outside," Jing Xunce said without even looking at Jiang Yanqin and walked out of the door directly.
"Humph! I'm just looking forward to it. Let me tell you, Jing Xunce, you've done something wrong to her. So you'd better leave her voluntarily." He was still involved with Li Tongyu and even had a child with her. How could he still have the face to stay by Mu Fengqie's side? He should just get out!
"My business with Qie'er doesn't need you, an outsider, to interfere. Mind your own business. Don't think I don't know your identity! If you piss me off, I'll expose everything about you. Let's see if you can still stay in the Southern Qing Kingdom safely!"
"You're really a despicable person!"
"So are you!"
The two of them fought fiercely. The things around them were almost destroyed, and both of them were injured.
Mu Nan saw that if the two of them didn't stop, something might happen, so he turned around and went to find Mu Fengqie. At this moment, only the mistress could solve this problem. After all, the mistress had complete control over the master.
