In the dead of night, the moon is dark and the stars are scarce.

"Do you think Lord Feng is really sick?"

Xue Ling and Qin Shuo sat in the side hall of the post house drinking tea, it had been a long time since they came back from the palace, His Royal Highness the Feng Lord gave a reception banquet, but the Feng Lord did not attend, it was Chang Xi Gongzi who entertained them. Shen Qingyi was left in the dormitory, followed by Chenguang, and the two sisters-in-law had dinner affectionately. When she came back, Shen Qingyi looked happy and said that Lord Feng had given her a lot of fun gadgets.

Xue Ling took a sip of tea and asked Qin Shuo softly.

His question was not emotional, and Qin Shuo couldn't figure out what he meant, whether he suspected that Lord Feng was not sick, or whether he also felt that Lord Feng was sick in his heart and wanted to find someone to agree with his thoughts.

Qin Shuo held his elbow with one hand, touched the beard that didn't exist on his chin, thought for a while, and said:

"You should be sick, right?"

"Are you sure?" Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and asked him.

The tone of his questioning made Qin Shuo's heart unhappy for a while, and he said horizontally at the corner of his eyes:

"I'm not a doctor, can I still use my eyes to diagnose Feng's illness?"

After a pause, he asked suspiciously:

"Why do you care so much about Lord Feng being sick? Lord Feng's poor health is known to the whole world, when she was in Rongwang's Mansion before, although some places were fake, it must be true that she was not in good health. At that time, she was still so young, with such a body and bones, the more people with congenital deficiencies grew up, the weaker her body became. It's not that I'm talking badly, people are going in the direction of the end of life, and the older they get, the closer they are to the moment of death. She has lived so long, even if she is really seriously ill, it is not surprising, and sooner or later there will be this day on the lingering sickbed, so I oppose Your Majesty marrying her. In the past, when Lord Feng was Princess Rong, my mother said that she was a girl with a thin life. ”

Xue Ling lowered her eyes and muttered for a moment, and said lightly: "I just think it's a little strange that she's sick at this time." ”

After a pause, he glanced at Xue Ling: "You can say such vicious words in a homely tone, you are really your mother's son, just say this in front of me, don't let the princess hear it, she will cry, if you let Your Majesty hear it, you know the consequences." ”

Qin Shuo seemed to think of something, shrunk his neck and shook it, cleared his throat, and said seriously:

"That's because I'm saying this to you, and besides, don't speak ill of my mother, be careful that she beats you with a stick."

Xue Ling didn't want to recall the picture of being chased all the way by Qin Shuo's mother with a stick, he thought for a moment and said in a self-muttering tone:

"Lord Phoenix...... Really sick? ”

Qin Shuo didn't understand the reason why he was struggling with this issue here, and he raised his head and thought for a while:

"If the Phoenix Lord is really seriously ill, we will save trouble, although the Phoenix Lord has all kinds of criticism among the people of the five countries, one thing is certain, as soon as the Phoenix Lord falls, the Phoenix Underworld will no longer exist."

Xue Ling glanced at him: "Do you think highly of her, I thought you hated her." ”

"What does this have to do with likes and dislikes, what I'm saying is the truth, there is no phoenix lord in the phoenix country, and now he is still feeding insects in the desert, without the phoenix lord, maybe that desert is already Longxi country, gold mines, iron ore, all belong to Longxi country...... She has indeed hindered Long Xiguo too much, no wonder many people in the country don't like her and oppose His Majesty marrying her. Qin Shuo said, paused and said, "But then again, this woman is really powerful, she has broken the tradition of men ruling the country for many years, although there are women who control the government in history, but they are usually born as concubines, robbed their son's power, and even the methods of governing are like in the harem." Lord Feng is not like that, she is a princess, she has not married yet, the means of ruling are not only killing and killing, if a person like her is in our Longxi Kingdom, the end will definitely be the same as the Emperor Yancheng in history. ”

Emperor Yan Cheng was a well-known tyrant in the history books of the Longxi Kingdom, who was finally overthrown and died by self-immolation in his dormitory.

"It's different, when Emperor Yan Cheng succeeded to the throne, the political party in the court had formed a pattern, indestructible, Emperor Yan Cheng couldn't dismantle the interest group formed by many people with his own strength, so he became a tyrant, and then was overthrown, which is why His Majesty took so long to start cleaning up the Bai family, some people in Long Xiguo twisted into a ball, like an abscess that destroys the body little by little, if you don't clear it, you can't let it spread, but if you take it out, it will hurt, and it may also endanger your life, so you can't act rashly.

Lord Feng's killing is not so much tyranny, but before an abscess is formed, she first cleared the characters who may become abscesses, which is really ruthless, but you see that Feng Mingguo has not been turbulent because of this, but now those who remain in the court are people who are really loyal to her, so she is not only ruthless. ”

"Hmm." Qin Shuo raised his head, pondered, and nodded his head in agreement, "This woman is not only ruthless, but also has high means, Your Majesty's disposal of the Bai family this time is equivalent to letting go of the last stream of pus and blood in Long Xiguo, as long as Your Majesty does not let the pus and blood grow in the future, at least there will be no more 'abscesses' of the Xia family, the Lin family, and the Wei family during Your Majesty's period." Speaking of which, I have always felt that the fall of these families has something to do with the Phoenix Lord. He recalled the pair of towering breasts when he was thrown into the lake many years ago, and his heart and liver suddenly fluttered a little.

"It's not 'some relationship', I think it's a big deal. It is also because of her that His Majesty ascended the throne ahead of schedule and did not rely too much on the power of the Bai family, so he can now clean up the Bai family so cleanly. If His Majesty relied on the Bai family too much at that time, it is very likely that the current Bai family would not be just 'pus and blood', if that is the case, the future prince will be born by Bai Guifei, and the Bai family will also become a relative above 10,000 people under one person, exactly the same as the Xia family back then. ”

Qin Shuo thought about it and nodded, suddenly looked at Xue Ling, and said in surprise:

"So, she also helped His Majesty a lot?"

Xue Ling looked at him and accentuated his tone: "Didn't I say so much to make you praise her, don't you think this woman is terrible?" ”

Qin Shuo was stunned for a moment.

"Well, it's a little scary, but it's true that she is capable, just a delicate little princess, neither an only daughter, nor grew up doted on since childhood, and she dared to have the intention of seeking power and usurping the throne. It's just a usurpation, just go sideways in the Fengying Kingdom, you see that when the old emperor of the Chiyang Kingdom of the Five Kingdoms was still there, her aggressiveness almost made the old man angry to death, and she only brought a few maids to stand in front of the emperors of the Four Kingdoms...... Tsk, is it like a black fox, or is it like a black panther...... Well, like a wolf, black wolf! Don't come out with such a woman, the appearance of this kind of woman is unreasonable, my mother said, it is easy to cause misfortune. ”

"Your mother sees that any woman is unlucky, she only fell in love with your daughter-in-law, and she died before she even entered the door."
