Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 23
When she regained her composure, Feng Jiuyou had already arrived, and her slender phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Qinggong is not lazy, but it's a pity that martial arts are weaker. The girl wears a mask, either she is ugly and dare not see others, or she is obsessed with it." The beauty of the country. It is fate to meet, and it is not kind to speak with a mask."

The moment the words fell, the long arm was already behind Ruan Mianmian's ear.Ruan Mianmian hurriedly bent over and sideways to avoid the blow in a panic, but felt uneasy in her heart, how could she meet Feng Jiuyou?

Why is he here?If he knew her identity, not to mention her, I'm afraid that even Niangqin and Lian'er would not be able to survive.

Not daring to slack off in the slightest, Ruan Mianmian quickly resolved Feng Jiuyou's moves while looking for the direction to leave out of the corner of her eyes.After finally finding a gap, all the hidden weapons in Ruan Mianmian's sleeves beckoned to Feng Jiuyou.

Feng Jiu retreated slowly, Ruan Mianmian jumped up, as light as a swallow, and disappeared into the night.

The corners of Feng Jiuyou's mouth twitched in anger, how could a duck that reached its mouth just fly away like this.Immediately, Yun Gong chased after him, but finally stopped by the moat, without seeing the woman at all.Seeing the stone on the ground, he kicked it hard into the moat.

He just came out to wander around, trying to see if he could find any clues about the secret doorman.Unexpectedly, she would be found sneaking into Lord Zhu's mansion, Minister of War.

It is estimated that a woman should not be so bold.But when she found out that she was carrying a package, and when she found Master Zhu's head inside that package, Feng Jiuyou knew that he had underestimated this woman.

Along the way, she refrained from doing anything, but wanted to take her home, but she didn't expect this woman to push a cart for an old man.

How could he help the old man at this moment when he struck so fiercely and killed him with one blow.He decided to follow her all the way to see what she was going to do.She didn't want to be discovered by her, and came to act first.

"Your Highness!"

Zixu rode a horse and ran over quickly, turned over ten meters away from Feng Jiuyou, and quickly ran over: "Your Highness, something happened to Zhu's residence, Master Zhu is dead."

Feng Jiuyou nodded: "What did you find?"

"Half-moon model." Zixu recalled the half-moon model engraved on the bedside shelf, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's the person from the secret door again."

"Half-moon model?" Feng Jiuyou frowned, that woman was actually from the secret door.

According to the information he got, there are four guardians of heaven, earth, Xuanhuang, and Tianzihao in the secret door.Local names are good at poisoning, and once poisoned 130 people in the Jingzhou county government overnight, killing people without blinking an eye.Xuan Zihao is good at seduction, and she is also the only woman among the four guardians, who usually hides in the brothel.Huang Zihao is good at calculating accounts, and travels all over the world with an abacus, and is responsible for managing money for the secret door, so that the secret door has no worries about money.

This woman is clearly not any of them.If it's Xuan Zihao's protector, he believes that in the past few days, everyone has known his reputation for being romantic.If it is Xuanzi, it will definitely use beauty tricks.And his thoughts these days are worth it.

Who is this woman?
Squinting a pair of phoenix eyes, Feng Jiuyou took a few more steps towards the moat, pacing back and forth: "Zixu, the people at the secret door, you said, most of them are men, except for the protector of Xuanzi. If there are women, you will Who do you think?"

And women?

Zixu went through the information he got in his mind, and finally shook his head.

"Light tone!"

Feng Jiuyou narrowed her phoenix eyes with these two short words, and the corners of her bright red lips curled up coldly under the moonlight: "Master Qingyin, why can't it be a woman?"

"Qingyin is a woman?" Zixu was taken aback, and hurried over: "Your Highness, this seems unlikely. Moreover, although the secret door has committed crimes everywhere in these years, the owner of the secret door rarely appears."

"Half-moon model." Feng Jiuyou chuckled softly.

Zixu showed a puzzled look: "Your Highness, the half-moon model is a good symbol of the secret door, but it is also the symbol of the Tianzihao. Over the years, every time the Tianzihao kills people, it will leave the half-moon model. The killing of the Dizihao has always been A small plum blossom petal. The method of killing people with the mysterious name is the most gentle and venomous. Every time, the blood in the body is almost drained before people die. But this yellow name does not seem to have appeared before. It is more likely It's in yellow letters."

"What you said is also reasonable, Zixu, why don't we make a bet." Feng Jiuyou suddenly felt better, and got on the horse: "The bet is that from now on, you will go out to deal with those women for His Highness. Go back and see the latest arrival information, you will know."

"Your Highness, you can't do it." Those women were like wolves and tigers, how could he stop them.These days, he went out secretly with His Highness, but it was not uncommon to see His Highness being eaten tofu by those women.

Hiding in the dark, he watched those women fall on His Highness as if they had no bones, and saw the look in His Highness's eyes that wished to directly tear those women into pieces, but he had to pretend to be intimate for the sake of acting. Qu Zhan felt extremely happy in his heart.

On the morning of the second day, Longyan, Emperor Fengzhao, was furious.The court official was killed in the bedroom by the killer of the secret door, and his head was still hung at the gate. This is Chi Guoguo's provocation!Emperor Feng Zhao ordered the Crown Prince Feng Junche to thoroughly investigate the matter, and he must take down the person behind the secret door and destroy the secret door.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were a little restless. Even if they were sleeping in the room, they would be cut off by the person at the secret door without anyone noticing. Before the person at the secret door was caught, who would not be worried?

Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of those upright officials who have a clean sleeve and are in charge of the people.Even in the bottom of my heart, I have a bit of admiration for the secret door killer.

The first secret door always only kills those who deserve to be killed!Corrupt officials are their number one target. After Master Zhu died, Emperor Fengzhao sent for an autopsy and at the same time went to appease his family. In the end, he found an underground warehouse full of more than ten boxes. Open it and see that it is full of shining gold.

"It's really unreasonable!" Emperor Feng Zhao looked at the memorial presented by the minister, his face was livid with anger.

The ministers in the imperial study were all watching their hearts, not daring to show their air.

Emperor Fengzhao threw the memorial on the table, and said angrily: "Zhu Chang was promoted to Shangshu only last year. How much is the monthly salary of a mere Shangshu, but he has only been a Shangshu for a year, and he has a private possession of tens of millions of taels of gold! Such a corrupt official Really hateful! Dequan, hurry up and pass the decree to seal the Zhu Mansion. Prince, take people to the Zhu Mansion for a thorough investigation, and all property in the Zhu Mansion will be confiscated! All the relatives of the Zhu Mansion will be thrown into prison and await their punishment!"

Feng Junche nodded: "I obey the order!"

After leaving the imperial study, several ministers looked at me and I looked at you, all with lingering fear.

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, there is no reason not to get your shoes wet.More or less, there are times when I can't hold it.Feng Junche looked at the ministers with a slight smile: "Your ministers don't look very good today."

The ministers were slightly taken aback, and hurriedly apologized: "Where is it, I just didn't expect Master Zhu to be such a person, and he also has some contacts on weekdays. I am afraid that the emperor... has secret doors."

The implication is that the emperor is afraid that the prince will let you investigate thoroughly, and if they are found, you will not be able to bear it.And the method of the secret door, this time they have all seen it.

Feng Junche looked at them with a smile, his brows were gentle, and his eyes were deep: "You are sitting upright. Although the people in the secret door are ruthless, they always only kill those who deserve to be killed. The adults are all on the court's salary. Doing business for the imperial court, eating the king's salary and being loyal to the emperor, the imperial court will also send people to protect the safety of the adults. Therefore, ministers, don't worry, I still have things to deal with in this palace, so I will leave first."

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, looked up at the scorching sun above their heads, wiped the sweat from their foreheads with their hands, and quickly walked towards the palace gate.

In the small house, Ruan Mianmian was sitting at a stone table in the yard drinking tea, with a faint tea fragrance, next to a crabapple tree.Lian'er was embroidering flowers on the stone pier beside her.Feng Changxi came in from the outside, with a smile on his face, and a look of inquiry in his eyes: "Did Mianmian rest well yesterday?"

"Very good." Ruan Mianmian put down the teacup in her hand, poured tea for Feng Changxi with a light smile.

Feng Changxi held the teacup, put the tea on the tip of his nose, closed his eyes, and slowly opened them again.Those clear eyes looked at the tea leaves that were slowly blooming in the cup: "It seems that Mianmian doesn't know what's going on outside."

Lian'er asked angrily: "Young Master Feng, what happened outside?"

Feng Changxi looked at Ruan Mianmian who was still smiling faintly, turned his head to look at Lian'er with a light smile and said: "It's not a good thing, the little girl should not know. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."

"How is it possible?" Lian'er looked at Feng Changxi's gentle and handsome eyebrows, her cheeks were a little red: "Mr. Feng, Lian'er is about the same size as a young lady, not a little girl anymore."

"Really?" Feng Changxi looked at Lian'er and joked: "Since she's not a little girl anymore, does Lian'er have someone in mind? If not, I"

"You'd better go back and rest. You didn't drink too much yesterday." Ruan Mianmian interrupted Feng Changxi's words after glancing at Lian'er, whose cheeks were blushing in embarrassment and disturbing her embroidered handkerchief.

Feng Changxi was not annoyed, looked at Ruan Mianmian who was also smiling and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I heard that Mianmian left first by herself. It's really not interesting. But you know, yesterday I helped Mianmian out of your siege."

"The crown prince of Nanjun thinks the life in the mansion is boring, so he doesn't have any objection when he comes out to see the scenery and go to the restaurant. But Mianmian and Lian'er are just ordinary people, and Mianmian thanked the prince here with tea instead of wine for the invitation to Yuelou!" Ruan Mianmian drank the fragrant tea in the cup in one gulp.

"Nan... Prince of Nanjun?" The embroidered handkerchief in Lian'er's hand fell to the ground.

Ruan Mianmian stood up, took a few steps back, and knelt down together with Lian'er: "The daughter of the people, Mu Mianmian (Lian'er), see Nanjun Wang Shizi, the son is a thousand years old!"

Feng Changxi clasped her hands in front of her chest, raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ruan Mianmian who was kneeling on the ground, then suddenly leaned forward, stretched out her fair fingers and lifted Ruan Mianmian's small chin, his lips fell next to her ear: "Ruan Mianmian, do you think I'll let you go because of this?"

Ruan Mianmian's body trembled slightly, her drooping eyelashes covered the expression in her eyes, her voice was soft and waxy, very submissive: "Mianmian has no intention of deceiving the prince, and I hope that the prince will be generous, so please forgive Mianmian."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about!" Feng Changxi pinched Ruan Mianmian's chin with a little hand: "Tonight, I'll be waiting for you at Moonwatching Pavilion."

"Sir..."

As soon as Ruan Mianmian's words came out of her mouth, Feng Changxi had already let go of her chin. At the same time, she had already sat back in her original position. Procrastinate, go lightly.
