Chapter 163

Ye Lingxi had heard about the deeds of the emperor of Tianqiong Kingdom for a long time.

When the last emperor of Tianqiong Kingdom was on the throne, there were three princes under his knees. The crown prince was kind and kind, and had a good reputation in Tianqiong Kingdom. His mother's status is humble, and she was despised by the emperor since she was a child. Everyone agreed that he had no destiny for the throne.

Seeing that the emperor was getting old, the crown prince and the second prince began to fight openly and secretly.

However, the third prince, Ji Mingli, took the initiative to invite Ying at this time, saying that he was willing to go to the battlefield in person to capture Yunlan Country and expand Tianqiong's territory.

Everyone thought that he just wanted to use this as an excuse to leave Qiongdu's tiger and wolf den to avoid being attacked by his brothers, but they didn't expect that he took Yunlan Kingdom in just one year.

When his class returned to the imperial court, just when the emperor was seriously ill and dying, the second prince led his army to force the palace to kill the crown prince in order to usurp the throne. Ji Mingli directly played the banner of the Qing emperor to kill the rebels and led his soldiers into the palace to kill the second prince. The prince retaliated.

After the emperor's funeral, he was the only prince left in the royal family, so he took the position of emperor logically and became the king of Tianqiong Kingdom.

Ye Lingxi used to only know that the Yunlan Kingdom was captured by Ji Mingli, but he didn't know that there was an emotional entanglement between him and the princess of the Yunlan Kingdom, so she couldn't help but became a little interested and listened carefully.

The story that Changsheng told was actually quite clichéd, just like those written in those scriptures, a simple-minded princess who was raised in the deep palace, ignorant of the deceitfulness of people, met a young and handsome man who wholeheartedly treated her well, so she thought I have found true love, and I want to be with him without hesitation.

Cried, made trouble, begged, escaped, and finally even gave up her identity as a princess completely, forcing her parents to die.But even so, it didn't make Empress Yunlan's attitude any looser.

"It is said that the princess was under house arrest in the palace at that time, and she could only go on a hunger strike to protest. She didn't eat a grain of rice for half a month, and she passed out from starvation." Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said, "It is because she passed out that the empress sent a I went to the imperial doctor to give her a diagnosis and treatment, but the result of the pulse diagnosis was that the princess was pregnant."

Ye Lingxi couldn't help raising her brows, thinking to herself that Ji Mingli was cruel enough, it was fine to plot the princess' feelings, but even the princess' body was plotted.

The uncooked rice has been cooked into cooked rice, and he has pinched the weakness of the royal family of the Yunlan Kingdom. In addition, the princess is pregnant, which is like giving him another layer of bargaining chips. I'm helping him.

"I don't dare to publicize things like a princess who is pregnant before she is married." Ye Lingxi raised her eyes to Tian Changsheng and said, "If you want to get rid of that child, the princess will probably never give up. Is there a compromise in the end?"

"Although the empress is furious, after all, it is related to the reputation of the royal princess. This matter has been suppressed. But no matter how tight the royal family is, it can't stop the person involved from directly revealing the matter." Chang Sheng Said, "That is, the second day after the princess was found to be pregnant, Ji Mingli went to the gate of Yunzhong City alone, begging to see the Empress Yunlan."

"That day he completely lowered his posture, took off his armor and abandoned his sword, and took off his outer robe in public to be examined by the soldiers guarding the city. In the end, he entered the city wearing only a single suit."

"When he went to see the empress, he also put on a very humble attitude, saying that he was originally the least favored prince in the royal family, and that he had no choice but to lead troops to attack Yunlan Kingdom."

"It is said that he and the princess really love each other. If the empress can make him and the princess happy, he is willing to give up his status as the prince of Tianqiong Kingdom and join Yunlan Kingdom as the princess' consort. He also said that he can go back and report the situation to his father personally. Let his father order the withdrawal of troops and conclude a peace covenant with Yunlan Nation."

Ye Lingxi sneered, "A man's mouth is a deceit, if you really believe his words, you are a fool."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but frowned and asked Chang Sheng, "Then the emperor and empress of Yunlan Kingdom really believed his rhetoric?"

"I didn't believe it all, but I didn't make things difficult for him. What the empress meant at the time was to let him go back to Tianqiong Kingdom to report the situation to his father. If Tianqiong Kingdom is really willing to withdraw troops, they can also consider marrying the princess. In the past, we were married to Tianqiong Kingdom."

When Changsheng said this, there was a cold sarcasm in his eyes, "After talking with the empress, Ji Mingli left Yunzhong City. No one took this matter to heart, thinking that no matter what he wanted It will take some time to go back to discuss with his father if he storms Yunzhongcheng."

"Unexpectedly, on the third day after Ji Mingli left Yunzhong City, an epidemic suddenly broke out in the city. All the vegetation in the city died overnight, all the livestock died suddenly, and the people in the city were all infected with strange diseases. When exposed to the sun, the skin exposed to the sun will fester and fester, and every once in a while, the bones all over the body will be painful and itchy as if being eaten by countless ants."

"Not only the people, but even the people in the imperial palace are infected with this strange disease, and the imperial physicians are helpless to deal with this disease, but in just two days, there are already corpses everywhere in Yunzhong City."

"It's poison." Ye Lingxi pondered, "An ordinary disease will also have a gradual contagion process before it breaks out. Like the situation in Yunzhong City, it can't be an ordinary disease, it can only be poison... ..."

"However, it can infect the whole city with the same poison..." Ye Lingxi closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up, "The problem probably lies in the water source, right?"

Changsheng smiled wryly, "Where did the epidemic start? It is impossible to test now, and at that time... even if someone wanted to study it, there was no chance."

"On the fifth day after the outbreak of the epidemic in the city, Ji Mingli took advantage of the internal strife in the city, took advantage of the vacancy, and led three thousand elite soldiers into Yunzhong City. Went to the palace and ordered the massacre of all the people in the palace, except for Princess Feng Xianyu, no one was left alive."

"He didn't kill Feng Xianyu, but killed her whole family in front of Feng Xianyu?" The expression on Ye Lingxi's face was very strange. "Then Feng Xianyu wants to hate him to death? He kept What is Feng Xianyu doing? Is it possible that Feng Xianyu is still expected to continue to be affectionate with him and give birth to him as if nothing happened?"

"He may not have planned it that way at the beginning, but the final result...is really the same as what you said." Chang Sheng talked for a long time, his throat was dry, Ye Lingxi handed him a cup of warm tea to moisturize Throat, he drank half a cup of tea, put the cup back on the low table beside the bed, and asked suddenly, "Master, do you know what the maiden name of the imperial concubine is?"

"Imperial concubine?" Ye Lingxi was stunned for a moment, looking through the memories of the original owner and thinking about it carefully, "It is said that the imperial concubine is a princess from a small border country overseas. The country suffered a sudden change and was rescued by the emperor on the way to escape. The emperor saw her Qingxin married her as a concubine. As for the boudoir name, I heard my mother mention it when I was young, the boudoir name of the imperial concubine is...Xianyu."

When these two words came out, she herself couldn't help being excited, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at Changsheng in disbelief, "Is it possible that the imperial concubine is the one..."

"She is Feng Xianyu, Princess Yunlan, Feng Xianyu."
