The Empire and the Kingdom

Facing Xue Ai's clever initiative, "It's not the time yet." Feng Jingsu stroked Xue Ai's lips with her hand, "Don't be so impatient." But the little fox is really cute!

This... what is this? "Who... who is impatient?" Xue Ai was so ashamed that she buried her head in Feng Jingsu's arms and refused to come out.

Feng Jingsu snickered, the little fox was told that she was too ashamed to meet anyone.She played with Xue Ai's long hair with her fingers, wondering if she had come here by mistake?The fire that Xue Ai had stirred up on her body made her very uncomfortable at the moment, but she couldn't touch someone who was by her side.Isn't this asking for guilt?

"What's going on with Zhuang Ruoyun?" She heard what happened to the Sun family in the palace today, so she came out of the palace to ask about the situation.As a result, as soon as they saw Xue Ai, they hugged each other and almost forgot about the business.

Xue Ai writhed in Feng Jingsu's arms, and it took her a long time to raise her head. Looking at Feng Jingsu's smiling eyes, she reached out to cover Feng Jingsu's eyes, "Sister Su, don't make fun of me!"

"Okay, okay, don't laugh, don't laugh." Feng Jingsu forced her smile back, giving the little fox enough face.

In Feng Jingsu's arms, Xue Aiwo told about today's events and her plan to do so. After she finished speaking, she raised her head, "Does Sister Su think that I have made my own decisions?"

Feng Jingsu couldn't help touching her face again, "Why? You did better than I thought."

This pebble, Xue Ai, knows exactly where to go. She doesn't need Feng Jingsu to worry about it, she will stir up the situation by herself, creating one opportunity after another for Feng Jingsu.

After being praised by Feng Jingsu, Xue Ai smiled so sweetly.She was born beautiful, but with this smile, even Feng Jingsu, who was used to beauties, began to be dazed.This girl is definitely turned into a fox, she looks charming.

"Are you really not going to fight tomorrow?"

Xue Ai nodded. "I know my mother won't let me go. It will be more beneficial if I don't go. My mother thinks that I am showing weakness to the dealer. In fact, if I don't go, it will be the biggest humiliation to Zhuang Ruoyun." , she has seen through it for so many years.It is said that she is powerful, in fact, a large part of the reason is that she has seen through most people, but most people have not seen through her at all.This is her advantage, and this advantage will become less and less as her true character is exposed, so she must constantly stir up the situation so that this advantage will not disappear so quickly.

"You want to help me get rid of the banker, but do you have other goals?" Feng Jingsu really doesn't care about a banker, and she thinks Xue Ai doesn't need to care either.At this time, it is impossible for Feng Jingsu to let Xue Ai marry the prince, and Xue Ai should be aware of this.

"Behind the dealer is the Cheng family. If the dealer is moved, the Cheng family will not sit idly by." Xue Ai is still the lovely Xue Ai, but at this moment her eyes are all calm, very similar to her father's expression .

"You want to move the Cheng family?" Feng Jingsu didn't expect Xue Ai's appetite to be so big.

"The elder of the Cheng family is serving as the Imperial Academy to sacrifice wine, and his disciples are all over the court. His two sons occupy the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War, and their grandchildren are also officials in the capital. This family is the queen and the crown prince's greatest reliance." Xue Ai stretched out his hand to encircle him. Feng Jingsu's neck, "Sister Su, as long as the Cheng family doesn't fall, no matter what big mistakes the prince or queen makes, their status will not be shaken."

Feng Jingsu smiled, pinched her nose and said, "You are so anxious to deal with the prince, are you afraid that when the imperial decree will come down and let you pass through?"

Xue Ai pouted, "I don't want to marry the prince."

"Then who are you going to marry?" Feng Jingsu continued to tease her.

Xue Ai turned her head and stared at Feng Jingsu with angry little eyes, "Sister Su, you know it well!"

"Is it me?" Continue to tease.

Xue Ai finally refused, and reached out to hit her, "Always bully others, Sister Su is too bad!"

The small fist hit Feng Jingsu's body like a massage, Feng Jingsu didn't hide, and let her hit, "Then let's agree, you can give it to me, and don't go back on your word."

Xue Ai's face turned red again. "Who would regret it?" she muttered softly.

The two fought and quarreled in the room until dinner. After finalizing the next action, Feng Jingsu lowered her head and kissed Xue Ai on the lips. Before Xue Ai could react, she had already left.

Xue Ai touched the remaining temperature on her lips, pouted, and ran away after kissing her, he hadn't kissed her yet!

That night, when Xue Xiang returned to the mansion, the concierge handed Xue Xiang a note to the servant, and the servant accompanied Xue Xiang into the study, and then handed the note to Xue Xiang. "The concierge gave it to him, saying that Doctor Li left it on purpose."

Xue Xiang read the note and frowned. "Shuyan, go and invite Dr. Li here, behind your back."

Shuyan went out immediately, and invited Dr. Li in after a while.

Xue Xiang asked: "Mr. Li, your note said that there is something important. I don't know what it is?"

Dr. Li told Mr. Xue about his discovery, and waited for a while before saying: "Master Xiang, this old man has been seeing a doctor in the house for more than ten years, and I have been thanking Mr. Xiang for taking care of me. I dare not speak nonsense about such things. Putting the juice of silver ring grass in my diet, this is of course not fatal, it just makes the young lady sick for a few days, but this kind of thing can be big or small, I think it's better to explain it to the prime minister."

Xue Xiang nodded, "Does Madam know about this?"

Dr. Li shook his head, "I don't know. According to Xiangye's instructions, I will never tell the wives and ladies about this kind of thing."

Xue Xiang asked Shuyan to seal the money to Dr. Li, but Dr. Li refused to accept it. Xue Xiang said: "You deserve it, and you should keep it secret at this time."

Dr. Li took the money, bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang."

After seeing off Dr. Li, Xue Xiang called over to Chen's mother who was in charge of the backyard.This mother Chen is older than Xiang Xue. She is a person close to the old lady. She was raised according to the requirements of the steward of the back house. She is loyal to the old lady. She has not married and had children for so many years. Xue Xiang has already said, In the future, the Xiangfu will take care of Chen's mother in retirement.After the old lady passed away, Mother Chen followed Mrs. Pan to the capital. On the surface, she had already retired in the back house, and usually took care of some things, but in fact, she was the eyeliner arranged by Xue Xiang in the back house.Xue is relatively good with several wives and concubines, but he is in a high position and has to be careful.My first wife, Mrs. Pan, was born in a small family, and sometimes she would do some outrageous things. After all, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jiang are concubines with too much selfishness, so Xue Xiang generally does not interfere with the affairs of the back house. Mother Chen.

Chen's mother was called to the study, and Xue Xiang asked her to secretly investigate Xue Ying's poisoning. Before the truth is found out, don't startle the snake.

Chen's mother nodded in response, and went back soon.

Shu Yan took the food boxes from the kitchen from the outside, and put all the food on the table. "Master Xiang, could this be done by outsiders?"

Xue Xiang shook his head, "Outsiders have spent so much effort just to make the eldest lady have diarrhea for a few days? That's too boring. It seems that this thing was done by a woman. They wanted to poison but didn't dare, so they got some laxatives. It’s not refreshing to be twitchy.”

Shu Yan didn't dare to answer.Listening to the meaning of Xue Xiang's words, it seems that he already knows who the poisoner is.

The next day, when the ladies opened their eyes, the first thing they did was urge the maids to dress themselves up. After breakfast, they told their family members that they were going out. Today was the day when Zhuang Ruoyun and Xue Aibi played Guzheng.

The Phoenix Tower was closed for one day today, and it received almost all the official ladies in the capital.Feng Qianzi was in the private room on the top floor, playing with the chess pieces in front of her and shaking her head, "It's a farce at all, but there are so many people coming, everyone is really busy."

The maid Bai Fang smiled and said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that I'll miss out on this excitement, and I won't be able to keep up with others when they talk about it in the future."

"So it's stupid to rush over one or two, and don't think about how this competition can be done? Can't the dealer and the Xue family see it clearly?" She shook her head while fiddling with the chess pieces. Lively, but let yourself become lively."

The sun was high and the agreed time was long past. Not only Xue Ai did not come, but Zhuang Ruoyun also did not come.The ladies waited eagerly until almost noon, but none of the two protagonists came.Everyone will be disappointed.At this time, the steward of the Phoenix Tower came up and said that the building had prepared meals for the ladies, and invited the ladies to eat.

Seeing that it was already this time, the ladies had dinner together, and then dispersed one after another.In the afternoon, the Xue family sent someone to send money, saying that it would cover the loss of Phoenix Tower's one-day closure. Long face, afraid to accept money.Later, the banker also sent money, but the manager also refused.

This farce finally ended with a happy ending.It's just that if Zhuang Ruoyun and Xue Ai come out again in the future, I'm afraid it will be very embarrassing.

Xue Ai didn't care about this at all.When did you have face?After being ridiculed for so many years, I have long been used to it.

Xue Ai can take it easy, but Zhuang Ruoyun can't.The reason why she didn't come to the Phoenix Tower was similar to that of Xue Ai. After being reprimanded by the elders of the family, she was forbidden to compete in order to avoid antagonism with the Xue family.If Xue Ai had expected it long ago, then Zhuang Ruoyun was caught off guard.But no matter how much she begged, the elders in the family would not allow her to go out, which made her a laughing stock in the capital.She is not as big-faced as Xue Ai, and she has not gone out until now, staying at home all day.

Two days after the incident, Mother Chen came to find Xiang Xue.He took out a pearl walker and put it on Xue Xiang's table.Xue Xiang took a look, "The things in the palace belong to which lady?"

Mother Chen said: "Miss San."

The expression on Xue Xiang's face did not change, "So the third lady did the poison?"

Mother Chen hesitated.

"Mother Chen, if you have something to say, speak up."

"Yes, Master Xiang." Mother Chen said: "This matter, this servant feels strange."

Xue Xiang signaled Chen's mother to continue.

"This pearl walker indeed belongs to the third lady. However, according to the little maid in the yard of the third lady, the third lady has never worn it since she got it, but the second lady also has a gift from the palace. Pearl step shake, often worn at ordinary times."

"Go on." Xue Xiang said.

"Tweety, the little maid in Missy's yard, said that one day she went to the big kitchen to get Missy's supplements, and saw Meier in Missy's yard just came out of the kitchen without anything in her hand, as if she was here to help. The third lady was picking up something. Then the eldest lady started to get sick after drinking the tonic."

The author has something to say: I stayed at home honestly for so many days, and today I was called back by the school to sweep the snow. What is the epidemic, what is the quarantine, I finally understand that snow removal is the most important thing!Dozens of people gathered together to work in full swing, really touching!Suddenly, I realized that I was the real warrior. There was no one walking on the street before, but now the street is full of people, and I have to sweep for several days, ha ha!
