The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 608 News of Father's Critical Illness

As soon as Feng Yao came in with the food box, Yan Jin's eyes turned back, she stared at the food box in Feng Yao's hand without blinking, and asked with a smile, "What's delicious, so fragrant?"

Feng Yao walked up to put down the things, opened the food box and asked, "Isn't the emperor really hungry?"

"Just hungry." Yan Jin raised her handsome eyebrows, turned over and pushed Qing Ping, "Feed me. I have no strength in my hands."

Qingping was speechless, but still took the beef soup from Fengyao's hand, and stirred it with a spoon to mix the meat and thick soup together, took a spoonful and brought it to Yanjin's mouth.

Feng Yao looked at the affectionate appearance of the two with a smile, and didn't know whether to stay or retreat for a while, but after Yan Jin drank two mouthfuls of soup, he said: "I didn't catch up."

"What?" Qingping was startled, and the spoon in her hand rested next to Yanjin's mouth.

Yan Jin stretched her neck and leaned over to drink the soup, then pursed her lips as if reminiscing, and then said: "I have been tracking Yan Duo's whereabouts non-stop for the past few days, but only found some things that don't matter. In the end, he escaped the trace that he wanted.”

Qingping lowered her head and kept stirring the soup in the bowl, but didn't answer.

Feng Yao didn't know how to respond, so he could only listen silently.

Yan Jin stretched out her big hand, stroked Qing Ping's hair lightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." But Yan Jin didn't say why, Qing Ping didn't ask, and Feng Yao didn't know why. meaning.

After a while, Qingping raised her head and said, "What else is in the food box? I smell pancakes?"

Only then did Feng Yao nod, took out the plate from inside, and placed the two pancakes in front of Yan Jin.

Qingping saw that it was really pancakes, and said with a smile: "When I was with Suxin, I often went to the kitchen to steal pancakes to eat. At that time, I didn't know that these rough foods were for the servants to eat, and they were considered good things. People are so strange , eat too much delicacies from mountains and seas, and get tired of it; occasionally, I change it to coarse grain pancakes, but I find it very delicious."

Yan Jin also smiled when she heard that, reached out and took one and took a bite.The pancakes were baked really well, and they were chewy and crispy.

After eating this pancake, Yan Jin looked up at Feng Yao, and said, "I have some news for you."

Feng Yao was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what Yan Jin meant by saying this suddenly.And if he went to track Yan Duo, what news would he bring back to him?Feng Yao only saw Yan Duo once, and it was still under the stone house, Yan Duo was almost a dead person at that time, he just breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the astonishment on Feng Yao's face, Yan Jin sighed, "This may not be good news for you, but thinking about it, it is good news. I don't know how to tell you."

Qingping was also confused by Yan Jin's thoughtless tone, she pushed him and said, "Yao'er is not an outsider, just say it straight."

Yan Jin's eyes rested on Feng Yao's face, meeting her gaze, and said with an extremely serious expression: "Then let me ask you a question first."

"Tell me." Feng Yao vaguely felt that what Yan Jin was about to say would surprise her, so he calmed down and waited for him to speak.

Seeing that Feng Yao should be prepared, Yan Jin asked: "You were the empress dowager back then, did you really plan to become emperor? What do you think now? It's okay to be straightforward."

Enthroned as emperor?Feng Yao was taken aback by these four words, his brows twitched a few times, and his brows knit together.

After pondering for a while, Feng Yao said: "Brother Second Emperor has a wicked mind, Brother Third Emperor has no intention of governing the country, for the people of Fengjue Country, I have a duty to do so."

As soon as these words came out, even Qingping took a deep breath.Feng Yao's meaning couldn't be more obvious, if given the chance, she will definitely choose to stand at the top, and she will never regret being the empress dowager, and she has more ambitions.

After hearing this, Yan Jin raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said "tsk tsk" before saying, "Your father is critically ill."

Feng Yao's body swayed, if he hadn't been standing on the edge of the table, he might have fallen to the ground with his hands supporting the edge of the table.After a while, I came back to my senses and asked, "When did you hear about it?"

Yan Jin said sternly: "The news just reached me, otherwise I would not have given up following Yan Duo and turned back. Since you left, your position as Crown Prince of Fengjue has been pending, so the second prince Yun Chen There has been a change."

Feng Yao frowned, secretly calculating.Yan Jin must have her own eyeliner stationed in Fengjue Country to inquire about news.However, the news of the monarch's serious illness will definitely not spread all at once, and it will take a while to keep it under wraps. Only after the imperial doctor's treatment fails, will there be rumors.

From the capital city of Fengjue Kingdom to Shangdu of Yunqing Kingdom, it would take more than ten days for the fast horse to deliver the news.If there are carrier pigeons, or the kind of falcon birds raised by Moli, it will take seven days to deliver the message.That is to say, the emperor's father has been seriously ill for at least ten days.

And Yun Chen has already changed, it can be seen that his father's illness should have reached an irreversible point, otherwise Yun Chen would not dare to make such a publicity.

Thinking of this, Feng Yao grabbed the edge of the table with his hand tighter and tighter, digging hard on the table, his nails were broken one by one without knowing it.

Seeing Fengyao like this, Qingping's heart fluctuated along with her, seeming quite worried.Yan Jin glanced at Qingping and nodded to her.Qingping stood up, walked to Feng Yao's side and helped her to sit down.

Yan Jin asked, "What are your plans?"

Feng Yao just shook his head silently.Now that she is in Yunqing Country, she has no connections and no location, even if she wants to rush back, she will be too far away to quench her thirst.What's more, even if I go back, what can I do alone?

"Think about it carefully, this matter is not very good news for Yunqing Country." After Yan Jin finished speaking, she lowered her head to drink soup and eat pancakes.

Feng Yao also knew that Yan Jin brought this news back not only for himself.After all, it was Yan Duo who colluded with the second prince Yun Chen, and now King Anping and the Shui family probably won't agree with Yan Jin, the so-called internal and external troubles are nothing more than that.

In case something happened to the emperor, after Yun Chen seized power, the pressure on Yunqing Kingdom must be even greater.So Yan Jin must be very embarrassed, otherwise he would not give up chasing Yan Duo.The current strategy must be to secure the interior first, and then calm the exterior.

Feng Yao calmed down, and said to Yan Jin; "During the days when the emperor left, I have already told Prime Minister Gu about the collusion between King Anping and Lord Shui and the private embezzlement of money from the treasury. There must be news soon. The emperor is back. It's just right, if you want to be safe, you must get rid of these two people first."

Yan Jin nodded, squinted her peachy eyes, and said "tsk tsk" in praise: "I didn't expect that I wasn't here, but your plan was good."
