Chapter 88 [88] Sooner or later, you will pay for what you have done.
"It is very much to my liking. Minister Feng, please come in."
The Queen smiled and motioned Feng Xun to lead the way. She looked at Gong Yixuan with a warning look. If he dared to beg for mercy, she would immediately sentence Feng Lingxue to death.
Feng Xun quickly pushed open the door of the side room and signaled to the maid Qiuyun to bring up some snacks and tea.
"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do? As long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Feng Xun immediately expressed his opinion, with a very sincere attitude.
It was just Feng Xun's flattering smile that made the queen want to slap him. However, thinking that she needed a favor from him, she suppressed her nausea and looked at Feng Xun with a smile.
"Minister Feng, I heard that Feng Lingxue's spiritual roots were taken from Feng Lingyan. Do you know about this?"
The queen put away the smile on her face, her eyes instantly became sharp, staring at Feng Xun without blinking, not missing the subtle changes in expression on his face.
"Your humble servant does not know!" Feng Xun wiped his sweat. You should know that in Tianchen Country, if someone takes another person's spiritual root and takes it for himself, he will be sentenced to death, and his parents will be implicated and receive fifty strokes of the cane.
"Then I'll tell you! This was the work of Shangguan Qingwan and Feng Lingxue. It's already been done, so why not do it a little more ruthlessly?"
"Feng Lingxue is useless now, but her spiritual roots are very precious. How about giving them to Yun'er?"
The queen suddenly changed the subject and made an about-face.
At that moment Feng Xun's heart was in his throat, but then it fell back in an instant. The gap was really too big.
"Empress, if Xue'er's spiritual root is given to Yun'er, Xue'er will die." Feng Xun was shocked. He felt that Feng Lingxue was useless, but it did not mean that he wanted Feng Lingxue to die. After all, she was his daughter.
"Minister Feng, what Feng Lingxue did, she shouldn't be alive, right?"
"If her spiritual roots were given to Yun'er, Yun'er's cultivation would be limitless, and it would help Xuan'er achieve his ambitions, right?"
The Queen used threats and bribes to lure Feng Xun, and she would not let Feng Lingxue go anyway.
Feng Xun's sweat was dripping down his face. He had never expected that the Queen would suddenly do this. The key point was how did the Queen know these secrets?
"Empress, please give Xue'er a chance to live. She has nothing left." Feng Xun quickly knelt down. His mind was filled with the scene when Feng Lingxue ran towards him and called him daddy, daddy when she was a child. He couldn't bear it.
"Feng Xun, I am now discussing this with you. If you don't know what's best for you, I don't mind telling the emperor about this and letting him know how vicious Feng Lingxue is!"
"You know how much the emperor values Feng Lingyan. I'll give you half an hour to figure it out."
After the queen said this, she turned away.
Feng Xun's eyes were moist, but after weighing the pros and cons, he rushed out of Feng Lingyun's yard like a madman and ran towards Feng Lingxue's yard.
At that moment, Crown Prince Gong Yixuan's heart sank to the bottom. He wanted to let go of Feng Lingyun and save Feng Lingxue, but when he thought of how vicious Feng Lingxue was and how she wanted to kill Feng Lingyun, he gave up all the thoughts and could only protect Feng Lingyun.
But Feng Lingyun seemed to be tortured by the snake venom and was unconscious. She cried and laughed at times, which made Gong Yixuan unable to distract himself. Gong Yixuan felt that he would have to pay for what he had done sooner or later. Feng Lingxue and Madam Feng had treated Feng Lingyan like that, and now this situation was also a tit-for-tat.
"Xuan'er, isn't this what I'm doing for the good of you and Yun'er?"
"Don't forget, the emperor doesn't have only one son, whether it's Gong Yanchen or other princes, they are all hoping that something bad will happen to you so that they can benefit from it."
The queen looked at the pain in the prince's eyes and said quietly, why would she want to be a bad person?
It’s a pity that only she can play the bad guy. After all, she knows such a secret thing, so she has to do something.
"Mother, things have come to this. You have said so much, what else can I do? Just leave it to you to decide. I just hope Yun'er can recover as soon as possible."
Gong Yixuan held Feng Lingyun in his arms and noticed that her breathing was gradually becoming steady. She seemed to be too tired after struggling for so long and fell asleep in his arms.
On the other side, Madam Feng had just arranged for someone to send Feng Lingxue away when she saw Feng Xun coming in hurriedly with a very ugly face. She hurried to greet him.
Unexpectedly, Feng Xun raised his hand and slapped Madam Feng: "Shangguan Qingwan! What did you do behind my back?"
"How dare you say that Feng Lingxue is the owner of a heavenly spiritual root. Explain to me clearly how she got that heavenly spiritual root!"
Feng Xun lost face in front of the Queen, so now he wants to make Madam Feng lose face. He must get back the face he lost in front of Madam Feng.
"My husband, you are joking. Naturally, Xue'er activated her spiritual roots herself when she reached a certain age."
Madam Feng's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look into Feng Xun's eyes. However, she didn't know that Feng Lingyun deliberately told Gong Yixuan and the Queen about this matter in order to deal a fatal blow to Feng Lingxue.
"Shangguan Qingwan, you vicious woman! Do you know that the Queen and the Crown Prince already know that it was you and your daughter who took away Feng Lingyan's spiritual roots?"
"At this point, you still want to hide it from me?" Feng Xun could no longer tolerate it. He didn't expect that even after things had come to this, Shangguan Qingwan still wanted to hide it from him. Would it be useful?
Madam Feng's legs went weak and she quickly sent a message, hoping that man could rescue their daughter, otherwise she would never be able to save Feng Lingxue this time.
When Feng Xun saw Madam Feng's appearance, he didn't think twice and directly sent a signal to chase Feng Lingxue's carriage. This time, he was determined to only protect Feng Lingyun, the daughter he owed the most.
At this moment, Feng Xun and Madam Feng had no idea that the Feng Mansion's step-by-step decline into the abyss was all controlled by Feng Lingyun, because she wanted to destroy the Feng family and Feng Lingyan. The person she hated the most was Feng Lingyan!
Besides, Feng Lingxue had just been punished by the family rules, and her body was still in unbearable pain. She felt the carriage suddenly galloping, which made her heart filled with endless fear.
"Stop the car! Stop the car now! Are you crazy? I am Feng Lingxue, the eldest daughter of the Feng family! If you dare to harm me, be careful that my mother and grandfather will kill you!"
Feng Lingxue mistakenly thought that someone was trying to kill her, but she didn't know that someone had killed the coachman, quickly disguised the carriage she was riding in, and sent out five identical carriages at the same time to confuse the view so that the carriage she was riding in could leave Shengjing.
The man didn't expect that Feng Lingxue would still shout and scream like that even after all this, so he picked a leaf and threw it into the carriage accurately, then pressed Feng Lingxue's sleeping point, and the world suddenly became quiet.
When Feng Xun caught up with Feng Lingxue's carriage on horseback, he lifted the curtain and looked around, but did not see Feng Lingxue: "Damn it! Where is Feng Lingxue? No, you are not from the Feng Mansion, who are you? Why are you pretending to be from the Feng Mansion?"
The coachman smiled evilly, then jumped up and attacked Feng Xun with a fatal blow.
"The one who wants to kill you! Feng Xun, the flesh and blood of the master, how can you allow the Feng Mansion to dispose of it at will? Are you worthy of it?"
The 'coachman' smiled wickedly, pressed a few acupoints on Feng Xun with strange techniques, threw him into the carriage, and stabbed a dagger into the horse's butt. The horse felt pain and ran wildly towards the cliff.
