"Jiang Xue, how can you say that?"

Feng Ziqing loudly retorted: "My pain is all because of you! Lan Feng only has you in his heart, and the late emperor only favors you. Even Heng'er can't get his favor. You took away everything from me!"

"Everyone's destiny is determined by their own choices."

Jiang Xue left this sentence and turned away, leaving Feng Ziqing alone to face her inner struggle.

Jiang Xue stared at Feng Ziqing coldly, her tone full of disdain: "Don't you understand your mistake yet? Feelings can't be forced.

You like Lan Feng, but his heart does not belong to you. You broke the oath between the late emperor and the queen. If it were not for appeasing your brothers, you would probably be dead long ago.

You used tricks to scheme against him, how can you expect to be treated kindly now? "

“The emperor is still young, and needs someone to stabilize the country while he grows up.

I am both civil and military, and I am here to protect the future of Qian Country. Do you have this ability? I don't think so. So, it is only natural that you are better than me."

"Jiang Xue, you bitch!" Feng Ziqing cursed angrily.

Jiang Xue raised her hand quickly and slapped her hard on the face.

"I put up with your scolding before. Today, I want you to understand that even if you leave here, I can still control your fate at any time. Be smart and obey me. Otherwise, only destruction awaits you."

Jiang Xue turned and left, leaving Feng Ziqing in Zhaode Hall with the flames of revenge burning in her eyes.

At the same time, Xiao Zhan accompanied his aunt to take the medicine prescribed by Doctor Jiang Xiaoan. Seeing that her complexion had improved, he said, "Aunt, I want to take a concubine in Qian Kingdom."

Madam Feng was very surprised: "What? Why do you suddenly want to take a concubine? Will she agree to this?"

"I want to have another child. But Jiang Xue's body may make it difficult to do so. As for my position as my first wife, it will always belong to Miss Changle."

After hearing this, although Mrs. Feng had a premonition in her heart, she was still shocked.

"Many years ago, I made a solemn vow in front of the Buddha: I would not marry anyone other than Changle. If I break this vow, I will be left alone, helpless, and without an heir. Mother, do you want me to break this vow?"

Madam Feng's expression suddenly changed: "Why did you make such a vicious oath?"

In her eyes, Jiang Xue was the calamity star of the Feng family. Not only did she take away her two sons, but she also put Yun Che, whom she treated as her own son, into this situation.

"At that time, I felt that she was an unreachable existence, so I used this oath to motivate myself to move forward courageously."

"What about your intention to take a concubine?"

"As long as my mother agrees, I will welcome the person in as soon as possible."

Seeing that Xiao Zhan took the initiative to mention his feelings for Jiang Xue, Madam Feng speculated that it might be really impossible for him to let go of Jiang Xue.

But it may not be a bad thing that he is willing to add a new person around him now.

"Since you want to add a new person, choose someone with a clean background and someone you like."

"Ok."

Fudong noticed that the princess had become taciturn and no longer smiled since returning from Feng Mansion, and she spent most of her time alone in the study.

She was anxious and finally mustered up the courage to ask, but the princess said nothing.

After much thought, Fu Dong thought that Jiang Xiaoan might know something, so he went to find him.

Every time he faced Fu Dong, Jiang Xiaoan was always afraid. Although he kept repeating "mighty and powerful cannot be defeated" in his heart, he was still timid. After all, Fu Dong was not only the top master in the princess's mansion, but also not very friendly every time they met.

"Commander Fudong, what a coincidence." Jiang Xiaoan tried to ease the atmosphere.

"unfortunately."

Fu Dong said bluntly: "I am waiting for you here on purpose."

"wait for me?"

Jiang Xiaoan was puzzled: "I wonder why you are waiting for me?"

Fu Dong looked around and confirmed that no one was around, then asked, "Did something unpleasant happen between the princess and the Prime Minister at Feng Mansion that day?

"Her Highness has been looking worried these past few days, and the Prime Minister hasn't sent a single word. I asked Her Highness what happened, but she refused to say anything."

There was no quarrel between them, but the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Then why do I always feel something is wrong?" Fu Dong asked puzzledly.

"It's more complicated than just being unpleasant."

The other party answered. Fu Dong's anxiety gradually escalated: "What exactly happened?"

"You just have to be patient and the truth will soon come to light," the man replied.

"How can anyone keep people in suspense like this?"

Fu Dong impatiently pulled his ear and said, "If you don't tell me the truth, this ear will never be intact."

"Ouch, don't!"

Jiang Xiaoan cried out in pain, "Commander, I am in a dilemma too. How dare I say something that Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't even mention? If she knew that I leaked the secret, she would definitely skin me alive."

Fudong realized that since even the princess kept her mouth shut, she must have her reasons.

So she let go of his hand: "No matter what happens, Xiao Zhan is definitely at fault. No man can be trusted."

After saying that, she turned away.

Jiang Xiaoan covered his aching ear, feeling aggrieved. It was clearly a problem between his cousin and the princess, so why did he become the scapegoat?

Fu Dong was really cruel. I must stay away from her next time I see her.

However, when he thought of the relationship between Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue, he felt disappointed again.

A few days later, news came: Emperor Xiao Zhan of Beiling, who always kept his distance from women, took a gentle and virtuous woman as his concubine in Qian Kingdom. This incident caused quite a stir in the capital.

Many young ladies from noble families waiting to get married were heartbroken at first, but then felt relieved - at least he didn't favor her because of her prostitution.

Upon hearing the news, Fu Dong was furious and immediately drew his sword to settle the score with Xiao Zhan, but fortunately he was stopped by Jiang Xue.

"Put down your sword and stay in the house," the princess ordered.

"Princess, I really can't swallow this."

Fu Dong's voice was filled with anger: "He promised to be with you forever, but now he is breaking his promise and getting entangled with other women. Isn't this clearly despising you?

Men are really untrustworthy. I will teach that heartless man who hurt you a lesson right now!"

"How do you know he said they would be together forever?" Jiang Xue asked back.

Fu Dong coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room.

"I overheard something before, but that's not important. What matters now is that Xiao Zhan betrayed you, and we can't let him go easily."

"Fudong, this is not a top priority." Jiang Xue said calmly.

"Then Your Highness, what is the most important thing?" Fu Dong asked puzzledly.

"What I need most now is some snacks to fill my stomach." Jiang Xue said calmly.

Fu Dong was extremely surprised. At such a tense moment, the princess actually cared about eating?

Despite this, she quickly arranged for the kitchen to prepare some exquisite snacks.

Jiang Xue handed a piece of almond pastry to Fu Dong: "Try it, does it taste the same as before?"

Fu Dong tasted it and shook his head: "No change."

“I believe Yun Che has not changed either.” Jiang Xue said firmly.
