"Marquis Yi Feng, I'm not supposed to talk about the harem! But since you want to know, I'll tell you! Everyone in the capital knows that the two concubines are powerful but not as powerful as Butterfly Concubine. Butterfly Concubine is a special existence in the harem. Have you ever seen a concubine who can enter and leave the harem as she pleases? Have you ever seen a concubine that even the emperor is wary of? Butterfly Concubine is capable of that! "The messenger said.
Yi Feng nodded and said, "If Butterfly Concubine is so strong, then if she supports a prince, then the chances of the prince ascending to the throne will be very high, right? Even if the emperor chooses a crown prince, if Butterfly Concubine doesn't agree, it'll be very difficult for him to ascend the throne! "
The messenger broke out in cold sweat. He looked around cautiously and begged Yi Feng, "Young master, please don't be so direct! If someone hears this, even ten heads won't be enough to chop off. You're accusing Butterfly Concubine of treason! "
Yi Feng rolled his eyes, "A child who grew up under the red flag respects freedom of speech!"
Although the emissary did not know what it meant to grow up under the red flag, he understood Yi Feng's blabbermouth. He took a deep breath and continued, "Butterfly Concubine is different from the other concubines. She's a concubine sent by the National Protector Sect. Even the emperor has to be wary of her."
"National Protector Sect?!" Yi Feng mumbled to himself as he finally found out about Die Yunchuang's sect. Normally, when he asked Die Yunchuang about it, she would never tell him!
The messenger explained, "There are two powers supporting the empire. One is the imperial family and the other is the National Protector Sect. The National Protector Sect doesn't get involved in national affairs. They only protect the empire and prevent it from falling. Many of them have imperial blood in their veins. That's why they're loyal to the imperial family! Every generation, the National Protector Sect will train a concubine for the emperor. This concubine is also the empress. I just don't understand why Butterfly Concubine gave up the position of empress to someone else! "
"The National Protector Sect is no less powerful than the imperial family! However, due to the special nature of the National Protector Sect, even the Emperor could not easily order them around. This also gave Butterfly Concubine a special identity! After all, Consort Die represents the National Protector Sect! "explained the emissary.
Yi Feng nodded and smiled bitterly inside. Who would have thought that Concubine Die would hate the National Protector Sect and the imperial family?
"Butterfly Concubine is strong, but the National Protector Sect's motto is not to participate in national affairs, so they won't participate in the fight for the throne!"
Yi Feng pondered quietly for a while. Yi Feng guessed that Die Yunyu should have a huge force that truly belonged to her, instead of the National Defense Sect.
However, she hadn't fallen out with the National Protector Sect yet, so everyone still saw her as a member of the sect.
However, even though Die Yunyu had a force that didn't belong to the imperial family or the National Protector School, she didn't dare to show it due to the dangers of the two sects. Thus, she didn't participate in the competition for the throne. Just as she said, the muddier the waters of the Empire were, the better it was for her!
"Hehe, thank you for telling me this, Lord Emissary. You should know that I'm going against the two princes, so I need to understand their situation, so … "Yi Feng smiled.
"Understood! Understood! "The emissary nodded. He was very happy with Yi Feng's generosity." Marquis Yi Feng, please be careful. The two imperial concubines' forces are not to be underestimated. Their forces are gathered through the aristocratic families and ministers that their maternal families have roped in. Their network is terrifying! So if they want to deal with someone, it's impossible to guard against them! "
Yi Feng nodded. In this aspect, Die Yunyu couldn't compare to them.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Emissary!" Yi Feng said.
"Marquis Yi Feng is too polite. However, Marquis Yi Feng has His Majesty's support, so I'm sure you'll be fine!" The emissary chuckled.
"Bah …"
Yi Feng spat and ignored this sentence. Although that old guy gave him a token, he was still far from supporting him. Even if the two princes killed him. He might not even move an inch!
"By the way, how is the elixir refined by Marquis Yi Feng?" The emissary finally couldn't help but ask. If he didn't bring back the elixir today, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Emperor.
"Hehe! The elixir you're talking about, I've refined it long ago. I'm just waiting for you to come and get it! " Yi Feng said with a smile. Although he had scruples in his heart, he was very happy to get the news he wanted.
The emissary cursed in his heart: You've refined it long ago, and now you're thinking of giving it to me. If I didn't tell you this news, I'm afraid you wouldn't give it to me!
However, the emissary naturally wouldn't show it on his face. He looked at Yi Feng and said with a smile, "Marquis Yi Feng is worthy of being valued by His Majesty. Your medical skills make us blush with shame!"
"You're too kind! Sir emissary, you're too kind. Give this elixir to His Majesty, it should be able to heal him. However, after a few hours, because of the detoxification, there might be some pain. His Majesty, please bear with it! "Yi Feng handed over the elixir.
The emissary carefully took the elixir and put it in a brocade box. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Marquis Yi Feng, His Majesty wants me to tell you that it's enough for you to keep this matter to yourself!" The emissary passed on the Azure Emperor's words.
Yi Feng smiled and secretly laughed in his heart: I already told Concubine Die about your detoxification.
"Tell His Majesty that I'll keep it a secret!" Yi Feng promised.
The emissary nodded and said to Yi Feng, "This is a serious matter. His Majesty doesn't want anyone to know that he's detoxified."
Yi Feng nodded. He also didn't want anyone to know that the Azure Emperor was detoxified, especially the two princes!
The emissary suddenly said to Yi Feng, "His Majesty also wants me to pass on a message to you!"
"Hmm?" Yi Feng looked at the emissary in confusion. He didn't understand what the Azure Emperor wanted to say.
"His Majesty said that he wants a quiet imperial capital!"
This sentence stunned Yi Feng. He didn't understand the meaning behind it. He turned to the emissary and asked, "What does His Majesty mean?"
The emissary smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not too sure about this sentence. His Majesty said that as long as I pass it on to you, you'll naturally understand when the time comes!"
Yi Feng was stunned. He suddenly remembered what the Heaven Defying Bead said yesterday. He suddenly understood. The Azure Emperor should also know about the large number of forces entering the imperial capital. His meaning was to warn him not to add fuel to the fire!
Seeing Yi Feng standing there, the emissary said to Yi Feng, "Marquis Yi Feng, I'll return to report first!"
"Sir emissary, do as you wish!" Yi Feng smiled and ignored the Azure Emperor's words. As long as he dared to eat this pill, his life would be in his hands. What was there to be afraid of?!
However, Yi Feng prayed that the imperial physicians wouldn't be able to detect this poison. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble. Of course, Yi Feng might not have confidence in himself, but he was quite confident in the Fifth Elder.
Yi Feng saw that the emissary had left and also walked to the left. He was exhausted and very hungry. He thought that Liu Mengran should have prepared a meal for him. Although Liu Mengran was shy, she was gentle and virtuous. It was destined that she wouldn't let herself go hungry.
If Liu Mengran was to be his personal maid, it would undoubtedly be perfect!
