Feng Yun was locked up by Wen Xingsui in a yard where she didn't even know where she was.

The place was heavily guarded and she could not move an inch.

Wen Xingsui sent two mute maids to serve her, taking care of her with good food and drink every day. They were skilled in martial arts and were efficient, but they never spoke to her.

Ask three questions.

Just pretending to be dead.

Therefore, she didn't know that during the days of her imprisonment, the whole world was almost in chaos.

The Battle of Suoyaoling ended with the withdrawal of Qi troops, while Bingzhou was attacked by surprise. Due to Wen Xingsu's secret attack on Chencang, Chunyu Yan's Yunchuan army did not receive any reinforcements, which led to the distortion of the offensive strategy and they were almost surrounded by Qi troops in Bingzhou.

In the quarrel between the snipe and the clam, Wen Xingsu, the fisherman, became the biggest winner...

During the seven years when he held the military power of Dayong, he had placed a large number of people in the armies of Nanyong and Dongyong. Now, with a wave of the flag, he quickly controlled the area north of the Huai River and approached Xinjing...

Xinjing is in danger.

The young Prince Pei Jun, the Regent, sat in the Mingtang and ordered all departments in the capital to close the city gates, call on the people, and prepare supplies.

The commander of the Beiyong Army, General Anping Ao Qi, personally took charge of the army, integrated the imperial guards and soldiers from various camps in the capital, issued a manifesto to boost morale, and prepared for battle to defend the imperial city.

The wheel of history rolls forward...

Feng Yun was forced to sit in this uncontrollable car, but like a clay puppet, she was powerless to do anything about the situation.

Wen Xingsu sat in front of her for a long time, until the tea had completely cooled down, before her eyes moved slightly.

"Where are you taking me?"

Wen Xingsui said, "Go back to Huaxi."

Feng Yun said: "You are not that kind."

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Wen Xingsui pursed his lips slightly.

"Why do you say that?"

Feng Yun said: "Huaxi has Changmen. Changmen has Buqu. Others may not know my strength, but you know it clearly."

Speaking of this, she felt a little angry.

He sneered and gritted his teeth.

It’s really hard to guard against domestic thieves.

She had thought that someone would betray her, but she had never thought that person would be Wen Xingsu.

She was even afraid that Wen Xingsu would be troubled by Pei Jue if she was not around, so she entrusted her life to him and told him everything about Changmen so that he could save his life at the critical moment.

Wen Xingsu took advantage of this.

He took away the Yuejian hanging around Feng Yun's neck, and also took away the token that commanded Merlin's troops.

He told everyone in Changmen, told Xing Bing, told Hou Zhun, told Hua Xi, and even told everyone in the world, told Pei Jue, told Xiao Cheng, told Chun Yu Yan—

Feng Yun rebelled.

"Whatever Twelve Lady wants, I will go through fire and water, and do my best...I will get it for her even if I die."

Wen Xingsu is Feng Yun's man.

He can represent Feng Yun to a considerable extent.

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

If the rebellious woman was not Feng Yun, no one would believe it...

A woman has become the queen of a country, her husband's favorite, her son the crown prince, she can get whatever she wants, so she has no reason to rebel.

But she is Feng Yun...

He is the Lord of Nagato.

He has money, troops and is mysterious.

She had a motive to rebel.

After all, the difference between the empress and the emperor is only one word, but there is a world of difference between them. It is impossible for an ambitious empress to replace the emperor.

The rumors spreading outside are good for Wen Xingsu.

Therefore, Feng Yun didn't believe that he would take her back to Huaxi.

"Once you let me appear in front of people, your lies will be exposed."

Wen Xingsu was silent for a moment.

"If you don't show up, some people won't believe you."

"Who doesn't believe it?" Feng Yun asked back.

Wen Xingsu stopped talking.

The wheels were rolling.

Feng Yun sneered so much that his head hurt.

"In fact, you acted too early. You could have waited a little longer. Wouldn't it be better to wait until the two countries were exhausted from fighting and could no longer compete with you?"

Wen Xingsu looked at her and said, "If you don't go to Dan County, this is my original plan."

When Yong, Qi, and Yunchuan were in a mess, all three sides were defeated and barely surviving, he would come out to clean up the mess.

At that time, taking action will mean victory.

"Without your advice, the pace of Qi's attack would not have been disrupted. The two countries were evenly matched, and I could sit back and relax... But you came, and Yunchuan intervened. If I didn't take action, Dayong and Yunchuan would join forces, and Xiao Cheng would be eager to succeed. He would definitely be defeated by your clever plan. Once Qi lost Bingzhou and retreated to Hengqu Pass, Xiao Cheng would definitely ask for peace and a truce. He is conservative and cautious, and we don't know when the next fight will start..."

Feng Yun sneered, "So, I ruined your good plan?"

Wen Xingsu said nothing and silently handed the peeled pear to her.

Feng Yun didn't answer.

He gave again.

These days, he has been emotionally stable and thoughtful in everything. Except for not giving her freedom of movement, he never forces Feng Yun to do anything. It seems that he is still the good brother who loves his sister.

He sighed, "I know I'm not good, but I hope you are well."

"Thank you." Feng Yun sneered.

Wen Xingsu was not angry. He put the pear away and wiped his hands.

"What about now?" Feng Yun looked at him and asked, "How are you going to take over Xinjing? Which puppet are you going to make the emperor? Or are you going to wait until you ascend the throne?"

Wen Xingsu looked at her calmly.

"Waist, you're being unfair."

It was raining outside, the sound of the spring rain. When he came in, half of his sleeves were wet and there was some mist on his hair. He pondered for a moment, and his eyes looked a little sour.

"In this chaotic world, everyone can compete for supremacy. Pei Cong can do it, Xiao Cheng can do it, Chun Yuyan can do it, why can't I?"

For decades, the country has been the same, and the throne has been passed down from generation to generation. Why can't it be him?
"Didn't you tell me that I can only feel at ease if I hold power in my own hands? I did what you said, so why are you reluctant?"

In the dim light, he was elegant, simple and dignified.

Every word was spoken frankly.

Feng Yun was speechless.

In order to avoid the tragedy of her previous life, she forcibly changed her fate, but she overexerted herself and ended up nurturing Wen Xingsu's ambition...
-
As March approaches, the weather becomes warmer day by day.

Although the weather was pleasant, the atmosphere in the Qi army camp was extremely tense.

Yan Buxi sat at the table, half-closed his eyes, and looked at Mr. Qi in front of him.

The white piece falls.

There was no movement from the other side for a long time.

"Your Majesty, it's your turn."

"Mr. Yan." Xiao Cheng's voice was slightly hoarse. He had not slept well recently and fatigue was visible between his brows.

"Everyone says she rebelled, but I don't believe it."

Yan Buxi raised his eyes and said, "This... I am also half-believing and half-doubting."

Xiao Cheng's expression improved. "I misjudged Wen Xingsu. I never thought that he would stir up trouble and have such ambitions."

Yan Buxi sighed, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Feng Shier Niang is in his hands, her life is safe."

Xiao Cheng was silent.

Not denying anything...

The chessboard was silent, and he was clearly a little absent-minded.

Yan Buxi looked at him a few more times, and suddenly the voice of the guard came from outside the tent.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian and the Feng family request an audience."

Xiao Cheng's face darkened slightly. After the incident at Suoyao Ridge, Xiao Cheng not only did not thank Wen Xingsu for his backstab, which gave the Qi army a chance to escape unscathed, but he quickly arrested Madam Chen and the Jiangdong Wen family...

No one knows why he did this.

But her mother was taken away, and her life or death was uncertain, so Feng Ying immediately panicked. So, she followed Feng Jingting and brought her family from Taicheng to ask the Emperor of Qi for mercy.

The Feng family has fallen into decline and has no say in the court. There are no family members who are high-ranking officials. However, as a century-old family, the aristocratic power is still there, and Feng Ying is still the imperial concubine. It is not a good look to kneel outside the door like this.

Yan Buxi raised his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you meet him? We can play this game of chess anytime..."

Xiao Cheng frowned and nodded.

Like last time, he only summoned Feng Jingting.

Treat each other with good tea and give each other kind words of advice.

"Mr. Feng, please go back. Your Madam conspired with the traitor Wen Hui to cause trouble, and almost caused the Qi army to be defeated at Suoyao Ridge... It is a serious crime of treason, and it is useless to ask me for help."

Feng Jingting bowed repeatedly.

"My wife is timid and would never do such a rebellious thing. There must be some misunderstanding here. I hope Your Majesty can see clearly..."

Xiao Cheng's face darkened. "Mr. Feng is saying that I am framing her?"

Feng Jingting was startled, his lips trembled and he could not say a word.

Xiao Cheng glanced at him slowly, his eyes calm.

"What's more, your daughter is still in the hands of the traitor Wen Hui. Don't you want to save her?"

Feng Jingting exclaimed, his expression quite surprised.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that Twelve Lady...she and my stepson, no, that traitor Wen Hui...are not conspiring to rebel together?"

Xiao Cheng: "You, the father... humph!"

He waved his hand and didn't want to say anything more.

"Back off. I am tired..."

Feng Jingting nodded and wanted to leave, but felt a little reluctant.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, where is my wife... imprisoned? Is she... alive or dead?"

"She won't die." Xiao Cheng looked at him calmly and said without emotion: "She is Wen Hui's biological mother. How can I let her die?"

Feng Jingting looked at his cold eyes, and suddenly seemed to understand something. He slowly bowed and sighed heavily.

"I understand. Your Majesty is doing this with all his heart, just to rescue Twelve Lady..."

Xiao Cheng nodded, which was considered polite to him.

"Mr. Feng, go back and take good care of yourself. If that day comes, I will still need you."

Feng Jingting became excited when he heard this.

Does this mean that if Feng Yun comes back, he will still be re-employed?
He has decided to be the emperor's father-in-law.

In fact, he didn't care about Mrs. Chen that much, but they were an old couple, and it would be unreasonable for him to ignore her.

After getting Xiao Cheng's promise, his eyes lit up.

When he was about to say goodbye, he thought of his daughter who had been waiting for him outside the door.

"Your Majesty, I have one more request." Feng Jingting gritted his teeth and said with an awkward smile, "Empress Xian has been kneeling since this morning, a whole day. Your Majesty, why don't you listen to what she wants to say?"

Xiao Cheng hesitated for a moment and winked at Jixiang.

"Empress Xuanxian."

Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes."
-
Feng Ying walked in, lowered her head unconsciously, bowed to Xiao Cheng, and slowly knelt down.

"I have seen your majesty..."

The wide veil covered her eyebrows and eyes, and her white neck looked very slender.

Xiao Cheng looked down: "Empress Xian, you disappoint me greatly."

Feng Ying was slightly stunned.

Before he could even open his mouth, his throat was already choked with sobs.

The man in front of her was her husband, but before today, she had not seen him for a long, long time.

Her husband, whom she couldn't even see, said that he was very disappointed in her.

Seeing that she remained silent, Xiao Cheng frowned.

"Empress Xian, I am very busy. If you have nothing to say, please leave."

His voice was low and his face was full of impatience.

The veil on Feng Ying's head was shaking slightly, and the eyes beneath the veil were unusually cold.

"Why is your majesty so indifferent?"

After a pause, she smiled bitterly again, "In this life, I owe you nothing. After all, it is Your Majesty who owes me."

Xiao Cheng's expression changed, "How bold!"

In front of him, Feng Ying was always a demure and graceful lady from an aristocratic family. Even though her appearance was damaged, her charm was never lost.

But today, perhaps because she had been kneeling outside for too long and was blinded by the sun, she not only spoke boldly and with a tone of grief and indignation, but her voice was also particularly sarcastic.

"My Feng family is loyal to Your Majesty and has never done anything wrong to Your Majesty. My uncle died a violent death, and he did not do anything wrong to the court. It's just that Your Majesty...you need to eliminate the meritorious officials who assisted you in ascending the throne, so that you can take power alone."

"Empress Xian." Xiao Cheng's voice turned cold, "Are you crazy?"

Feng Ying's tears rolled down. "I'm not crazy. My family fell into ruin, my husband ignored me, but I didn't go crazy. How could I suddenly go crazy just because my mother was imprisoned?"

Xiao Cheng pursed his lips tightly.

"Are you done? Concubine Xian, I have been tolerant towards you, please don't be ungrateful."

Feng Ying laughed, laughed, and then started crying.

"I have admired Your Majesty for many years and have never made a big mistake. I don't know why I ended up like this... Your Majesty, where did my third brother Xiao go... Do you know? I want to find him and tell him about my grievances..."

Xiao Cheng's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Feng Ying said, "Your Majesty, it is too painful to love someone but not be able to get him/her. It is really too painful... Do you know how it feels, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Cheng didn't say anything.

There was a slight change on his face.

It is really painful to ask for something but not get it.

Feng Ying looked at his emotionless face and tears rolled down her eyes.

"In this lifetime, I will never be able to find a good man."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly touched her forehead to the ground, kowtowed heavily to Xiao Cheng, and sobbed, "In this case, please, Your Majesty, please let me live."

Xiao Cheng: "What did you say?"

"I beg your majesty to grant me permission to leave the palace, become a nun, and find a pure land to end my remaining life."

She kowtowed slowly.

Every time she kowtowed, it was as if she was bidding farewell to her feelings. "Feng Aying, I am willing to leave the palace and from now on, we will part ways and no longer be husband and wife."

Xiao Cheng was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"allow."

A single word, so bland as to be devoid of emotion.

Feng Ying's tears fell like beads from a broken string.

I really never considered her as my wife.

He doesn't care whether she leaves or stays.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Feng Ying glanced at the tea on his wooden table, slowly knelt down and approached, looking up and saying:

"We are husband and wife, let's drink a farewell drink today."

Xiao Cheng said nothing.

Feng Ying raised her sleeves and filled the two cups.

Then, under Xiao Cheng's indifferent gaze, he picked up the wine glass.

"Brother Xiao San, I will never see you again in this life."

She raised her sleeves, slowly drank the bitter wine in the cup, then knelt on the ground, placed her hands flat in front of her, bowed to Xiao Cheng in a farewell gesture, and did not look up for a long time.

Xiao Cheng looked at her for a moment, then picked up the cup and drank it all. (End of this chapter)
