Si Xuan looked at the two of them helplessly, one was full of curiosity, while the other seemed to be enjoying the fun.

"The Yinglie Emperor that Chi Mu mentioned is my father."

Feng Qi instantly perked up, propping himself up and trying to get up, not caring that his injuries had not yet healed.

"Look what you're so excited about?"

Si Xuan quickly went forward and held her up, half sitting up, and even considerately placed several pillows behind her.

"Hey, I'm fine, go on."

Feng Qi was so anxious that he immediately urged her.

"You."

Si Xuan tapped her nose lovingly, then glanced at the old man who seemed to have nothing to do with it, then stood up and recalled the past.

"It is said that when my father was still the King of England, the Crown Prince at that time was considered to be a man of outstanding virtue. If he could successfully ascend the throne, he would be considered a wise ruler."

"But later, the prince brought back a woman after a secret visit, and he wanted to marry her, completely ignoring everyone's opposition."

Having said this, Si Xuan suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the two of them again. They all raised their heads and looked at him eagerly.

He had no choice but to continue, "The Crown Princess had already been chosen, but the Crown Prince said he would never marry anyone else, and even declared that he would never marry anyone else but that woman in his lifetime!"

"This matter eventually became known to everyone, and after hearing about it, the Crown Princess took the initiative to request to cancel the engagement."

"At that time, my father was on good terms with the crown prince, and was moved by his persistence, so he begged my grandfather to help them."

"As for later, somehow, the prince finally got what he wanted, but the price he paid was losing his position as crown prince."

"What happens next?"

Feng Qi asked hurriedly.

"My father became the crown prince and married the previous crown princess. The crown prince was deposed and given the title of King Huan."

"In the end, for some unknown reason, King Huan rebelled, and my royal grandfather was furious and had all of them imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. However, not long after, my royal grandfather passed away, and my father ascended the throne."

"Because of our years of brotherhood, I pardoned King Huan and allowed him to return to his fiefdom with his family."

Feng Qi couldn't help but frown when he heard this, "Is this nothing?"

"Yes, but for some reason Prince Huan thinks that it was something that the emperor said that caused him to lose his position as crown prince."

"How can there be such a person? He wants both the country and the beautiful woman!"

Feng Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"My father did not interfere in what happened back then." Si Xuan sighed, "But King Huan didn't think so, so he began to secretly build up his power. When my father found out, he felt helpless and just turned a blind eye."

"And Princess Huan was suddenly poisoned and died. Word started to spread that it was someone sent by my father who did it."

"Then His Majesty the Emperor won't take care of it?" Feng Qi asked anxiously.

"Do you care?" Si Xuan sneered, "The royal family is the most ruthless, and fratricide is common. Not to mention whether it was really done by my father, even if it wasn't, Prince Huan would find other excuses to start a rebellion."

Feng Qi felt sad. Is this the emperor's home?

"My father did not explain the rumor in detail, and Prince Huan was even more certain that the person who poisoned him was my father. Not long after, he led his army into the capital."

A trace of sadness flashed in Si Xuan's eyes. "That battle was extremely brutal, and both sides suffered heavy losses. In the end, although my father defended the capital, he was also seriously injured."

"What happens next?" Feng Qi nervously grabbed Si Xuan's hand.

"Afterwards, King Huan was killed by the pursuing guards while he was fleeing." Si Xuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"What a twist of fate..." Feng Qi couldn't help but sigh.

"Then this Chi Mu... could it be related to King Huan?"

Feng Qi guessed.

"Okay, your body hasn't recovered yet. You should take the medicine and rest."

Elder Qianji said with a stern face.

"Master is right."

Si Xuan also agreed, then picked up the medicine bowl and prepared to feed her the medicine.

Feng Qi: “…”

When did these two people have such a tacit understanding?

After Si Xuan fed Feng Qi the medicine, he helped her lie down and rest.

"Who exactly is Chi Mu?" Feng Qi couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"He..." Si Xuan hesitated to speak.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Feng Qi pulled his sleeve anxiously.

"Alas, he is the grandson of King Huan." Si Xuan sighed. After thinking it over again and again when he entered the palace today, he still did not tell the emperor about this matter.

Ever since the ceremony that day, he felt that something was fishy, ​​so he sent people to King Huan's former fiefdom to investigate, but he did not expect the result to be like this.

"What?" Feng Qi's eyes widened in surprise, "Then isn't he of royal blood?"

"Yes." Si Xuan nodded, "When King Huan was on the run, he hid Chi Mu's parents in a farmer's house. That's how Chi Mu escaped. He has been wandering outside for these years."

"So that's how it is..." Feng Qi thought, "I didn't expect there was such a past..."

"Okay, don't think too much. Have a good rest." Si Xuan patted her hand gently. "We can talk about other things after you recover."

Feng Qi nodded obediently and closed her eyes.

Si Xuan looked at her peaceful sleeping face and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that she would recover soon.

The news that the Regent Princess had woken up immediately reached everyone's ears. They all scrambled to visit her, but without exception they were blocked outside by the guards of Prince Xuan's Palace.

"What should I do?"

Old Madam Xiao was stamping her feet anxiously at the door. She had been feeling very nervous these days. She was finally looking forward to the man waking up. Thinking that she could take a look at him, she could finally put her mind at ease.

"Mother, why don't we go back first? What they said makes sense. After all, this person just woke up and needs to rest well, right?"

Shen hurried forward to comfort her, but in fact she was also very anxious.

"Alas, it seems that we won't be able to see anyone today. Why don't we go back first? Don't you think it's inappropriate for us old ladies to always stand here?"

The old princess glanced at the two rows of guards standing at the door, and felt very upset.

"Okay, let's leave the things here and leave quickly. It's not good to be seen by so many people coming and going."

Old Madam Su was also helpless at this moment. It was the first time she encountered such a situation.

Old Madam Xiao felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry. She couldn't even see her granddaughter. Even though the Regent meant well, she still felt uncomfortable.

The group of people didn't even enter the gate of Prince Xuan's Palace and left in disappointment.

After a few days of rest, and with Feng Qi's constant nagging, she was finally able to get out of bed today. She felt like she was going to moldy after lying in bed all day.

"Princess, are you feeling better?"

Biyun carefully helped her to sit down in the yard. These days, except for delivering medicine, she couldn't see the princess at other times. The prince was in the house every day and didn't let them go in to serve him, saying that they disturbed the princess's rest.

Today she can finally be with the princess.

Biyun was a little excited at this moment.

"Much better. I've been stuck in the house for so many days, and it's really frustrating for me."

Feng Qi stretched and said, "By the way, what's the situation outside now?"

"Since the news of your awakening spread, the ladies of various mansions wanted to come and see you, but they were all stopped by the prince."

Biyun answered truthfully.

Feng Qi was a little surprised. She was also wondering why her grandmother, aunt and great aunt didn't come to see her!

"This makes me seem a little pretentious." Feng Qi shook his head helplessly.

At this time, Si Xuan walked in and saw Feng Qi basking in the sun in the yard. A gratified smile appeared on his face.

"How do you feel?" Si Xuan walked over and sat down next to Feng Qi.

"Much better." Feng Qi held his hand, "Your Majesty has worked hard these days."

Si Xuan coughed lightly, "We are husband and wife, why bother thanking me."

"Reporting to the prince, outside the door, that..."

Butler Zhou seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Uncle Fu, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Feng Qi smiled and said, "Is there anything that cannot be said?"

Butler Zhou couldn't help but glance at the man whose eyes were almost glued to the princess, hoping to get some hint as to whether he should say it or not, but the man didn't even look at him.

"Princess, General Xiao and his men are here."

Butler Zhou said with gritted teeth.

"Grandfather? Then please invite him in."

Feng Qi's eyes were full of surprise. She had originally thought of asking someone to take a message to her grandparents, saying that she was much better now and asked them not to worry, but she didn't expect someone to come.

Butler Zhou: “…”

I stole a glance at their prince and thought to myself, Prince, please give some orders!

"Butler Zhou is old and his hearing is not very good. The princess just asked you to invite someone in, why don't you go now!"

Shadow was getting a little anxious watching from the side. This old man seemed quite smart on weekdays, so why was he doing something stupid at this time?

He dared to hesitate after the princess had spoken. I really don't know what this old man was thinking.

"Oh, look at my ears. They are really old. I will go right away. I will go right away."

Butler Zhou reacted and looked at An Qi with gratitude. Only then did he realize that he almost made a big mistake.

"Well, I have something else to do. I'll come and accompany you later."

Si Xuan thought that if he were here, they would inevitably feel restrained.

Feng Qi nodded and watched him leave.

Soon a group of people arrived at Cangwu Garden in a mighty manner.

Feng Qi: "..."

Grandparents, two aunts, five brothers, one younger brother, grandpa, uncle, aunt...

Feng Qi wanted to stand up and salute, but Chu hurriedly walked up to her and stopped her, "Don't stand up, how do you feel?"

"Yeah, tell me, kid, why don't you take care of yourself?"

Madam Xiao's eyes turned red with distress.

"It's all my fault. I made everyone worry again, but I'm fine now."

Feng Qi was about to stand up and turn around to show them that she was really okay.

"Alright, alright. We're relieved to see that you're okay. Don't move."

Chu pressed her into the recliner again.

"Now that I see that you are okay, I can go back to Nanchu with peace of mind."

Situ Ming also said that the envoys from the other two countries had already left, and only those from Nan Chu were still staying in the capital.

Others were also very dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say anything more.

After all, Chu Mohan had spoken, so how could they dare to talk nonsense?

"Uncle, it's all my fault. I delayed your return journey."

Feng Qi felt a little embarrassed.

"No, no, I still have to thank you."

Situ Ming thought that if she hadn't been injured, he would have left the capital long ago and would not have been able to stay with his wife for so many more days.

As a result, I got so excited that I spoke out my true feelings.

"no need thank me?"

Feng Qi was speechless. Should he thank her for being poisoned, or thank her for being injured?

"Xiao Qi, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. He is just worried about you, so he asked the prince to stay a few more days."

Chu glanced at Situ Ming and couldn't say a word!

"Yes, I am worried."

Situ Ming spoke quickly, for he was afraid of being beaten if he spoke slower, because old man Situ's eyes looked murderous.

They talked for a while, and Feng Qi asked them to stay and have lunch together, but they were afraid of disturbing her rest, so they refused no matter what.

They all left not long after, saying they would come back to see her when she got better.

Posthouse

Now only the Nanchu delegation is still here, "Brother Wang, let's go back quickly."

Chu Mo Nan felt that he couldn't stay there for another day, so on the day of his last wedding, he sneaked away.

On the way back, I was still feeling lucky that I didn't see that female devil this time.

Who would have thought that I would turn back halfway!

Just come back, why aren’t you leaving yet?

"No hurry, let's go visit them tomorrow, and then it won't be too late to set off."

Chu Mohan thought about what happened that day. Even though he didn't see her with his own eyes, he still felt a little uneasy.

Chu Mo Nan: "..."

He couldn't even avoid her, but he came to her on his own initiative? It wasn't like he was kicked in the head by a donkey!

"Brother Wang, why don't you take someone there tomorrow? I'll wait at the inn and won't run around. Is that okay?"

Chu Mo Nan asked with a smile.

"Speaking of which, the Princess Regent is also your savior. You should go visit her in person and express your gratitude."

Chu Mohan glanced at him and said in a cold voice.

Chu Mo'nan wanted to say something else, but seeing that his brother's face became increasingly cold, he had no choice but to shut up in disappointment.

On the second day, Chu Mo'nan reluctantly followed Chu Mohan to Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Feng Qi was somewhat surprised to see them visiting, but when she saw Chu Mo Nan, the smile on her lips deepened.

Chu Mo Nan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and quickly looked away.

Fortunately, there is only one female devil, and the other killer is not here!

The killing god he mentioned was naturally the regent.

He looked around and suddenly caught sight of a painting on the table, so he moved closer out of curiosity.

Chu Mo'nan looked at the painting carefully. There was a beautiful woman in the picture, so lifelike that she seemed as if she could walk out of the painting.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "The woman in this painting is so beautiful. I wonder which painter created this masterpiece?"

Feng Qi smiled and said, "I drew this when I was free a few days ago."

Chu Mo Nan looked up in surprise. She didn’t expect that this female devil could also paint?

Chu Mohan also came forward and looked at the painting. After a moment of silence, he said, "Can you give this painting to me, my prince?"

Feng Qi was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Since Prince Chu likes it, then take it."

Chu Mohan took the painting, rolled it up carefully and put it in his arms.

He glanced at Feng Qi and said, "Thank you, Princess Regent."

After that, they exchanged a few more pleasantries. After all, since the Regent was not at home, it would not be convenient for them to stay for too long, so he took Chu Mo Nan and left Prince Xuan's Mansion.

On the way, Chu Mo Nan couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wang, what do you want that painting for?"

Chu Mo said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."

Chu Mo Nan curled his lips and thought to himself, he must have used it to please some young lady.
