The card that Duan Mu Qing handed to Feng Jin Yuan was surprisingly a card with the third prince's birth date and eight characters written on it.
Feng Jin Yuan furrowed his brow tightly. He truly could not understand what they were thinking. With things as they were, could it be that he could marry his daughter into the Xiang Palace?
He was filled with anger and wanted to throw the card back at Duan Mu Qing's face, but even though he had raised his hand, he was unable to throw it because Duan Mu Qing had said something that completely shut him up, saying: "Prime minister Feng, think carefully. Who can the Feng family rely on now? Who would dare to place your hopes on? "
Feng Jin Yuan's back became cold. That's right, how could the current Feng family be compared to the past. With Qian Zhou's matter, the Feng family not eating melon pancakes was already quite good. Could it be that they still hoped that the Emperor would regard him as highly as he did in the past? Currently, he had been pardoned for the sake of Feng Yu Heng, but not to mention that being close to the ruler was like being close to a tiger, the Ninth Prince was already unpredictable. The Emperor had practically the same temperament as him. Who knew when he would suddenly change his mind. Just his second daughter, Feng Yu Heng, was someone that was even more unpredictable! Once the matter with Yao shi came out, Feng Yu Heng hung that servant outside Pine courtyard and beat her to death. Pointing at his nose, she began cursing. She had already torn apart all pretenses. To have the large Feng family rely on her to survive, was that reliable?
Duan Mu Qing saw Feng Jin Yuan put down the hand that he had raised, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. He then continued: "Prime minister Feng, think carefully. You and the third prince have been tied to the same rope for so long. Even if you truly wanted to change the tides, who would truly believe you? It's possible that if you helped a prince ascend the throne, when he stabilizes his position, the first person to get rid of would be you. Also, do you believe that there is someone that dares to take over the Feng manor that has such a close relationship with Qian Zhou? Oh, I heard that your marriage contract has already been annulled. What a pity. One day as husband and wife means endless devotion for the rest of your life. This is something that nobody will forget. "
A cold sweat appeared on Feng Jin Yuan's forehead once more. He glared at Duan Mu Qing and coldly snorted, saying: "The third prince is clearly a cripple. Could it be that he still has thoughts of moving for the throne?"
Duan Mu Qing retorted: "Don't forget whose daughter did you get those injuries from. My Duan Mu family has not settled the debt with you and instead wants to marry you. We are already being magnanimous. Prime minister Feng, don't go too far."
"Hahaha!" This time, Feng Jin Yuan truly laughed. He pointed at Duan Mu Qing and said: "You also know that his injuries were caused by this prime minister's second daughter? Then he should also know why A-Heng went to beat him up, right! As a prince, he couldn't even get himself out of trouble after harming a woman. How could he covet the throne with such little ability? This Prime Minister is really disappointed! He's not even a Master, and his skills are not high. A big man can't even beat a little girl, and you guys still have the nerve to talk about settling accounts, really. " Feng Jin Yuan said this while waving his hand, "Forget it. If you want to settle accounts, go and settle accounts with that girl. This Prime Minister also wants to see just how much ability your Duan Mu family has to settle accounts with her."
Duan Mu Qing's face had truly turned green. To the Duan Mu family, Feng Yu Heng was indeed a hurdle that could not be crossed. Not to mention the fact that she had the Ninth Prince, who could not differentiate between right and wrong, but just based on the fact that she had the ability to produce steel, she had already become a national treasure in Dashun. This was something that nobody could do anything to.
But this conflict only lasted for the blink of an eye, as he very quickly recovered. He then asked Feng Jin Yuan: "Prime minister Feng's meaning is that this marriage that you have secretly promised countless times to the third prince will not count?"
Feng Jin Yuan rolled his eyes, "That was in the past. Now that the Feng family is in trouble, we will not cause trouble for the third prince."
Duan Mu Qing nodded, "That's fine. Then I will go back and tell cousin that Prime minister Feng has changed your mind. The daughter with the aspect of the phoenix will no longer marry him."
Feng Jin Yuan did not say anything. It could be considered a tacit agreement.
But immediately following this, Duan Mu Qing said something that caused him to be completely dumbfounded: "Prime minister Feng, do you know who I brought with me to the capital this time?" He then did not wait for Feng Jin Yuan to speak before saying: "Ghost doctor Song Kang."
Feng Jin Yuan was extremely shocked and immediately stood up, subconsciously asking him: "Is it the one that can revive the dead … ghost doctor Song Kang?"
Duan Mu Qing nodded, "Indeed."
Feng Jin Yuan's entire body sank, as he silently sat back down in his chair. Ghost doctor Song Kang, this person's name was like thunder to his ears. During the two months that he had gone to the North to relieve the disaster, he found that the people of the North had a portrait of a man in his forties. He was very thin, but his eyes were bright and spirited. The people called him ghost doctor Song Kang, saying that he was the most powerful divine doctor in the world. The North was far away from the emperor, thus the citizens naturally had not heard of the divine doctor Yao Xian. They only knew of Song Kang, and because that person wore a black robe all year round, he looked like a ghost at night, thus the people called him ghost doctor Song Kang. Legend had it that his medical skills were so good that he could even save people with damaged hearts and lungs. There were also people that said that they had personally seen the ghost doctor transfer a person's internal organs to another person's body to extend that person's life.
Feng Jin Yuan originally thought that this was just a legend, but during the two months that he had been in the North, when the Winter disaster was at its worst, there were refugees dying every day. Song Kang had appeared once, and he really had used the leg of a dead person to exchange for another person with a broken leg.
Now, Duan Mu Qing said that he had brought ghost doctor Song Kang. What did this mean? There was hope for the third prince?
"Does Prime minister Feng want to reconsider this marriage?" Duan Mu Qing looked at the change in Feng Jin Yuan's expression for a while and knew that he had already changed his mind, thus he said: "My Duan Mu family has already sent people to take over Gan Zhou's troops. Prime minister Feng must understand that the third prince is not relying on his own power. He is also relying on my Duan Mu family's full support."
Feng Jin Yuan was completely shaken. Picking up the marriage proposal once more, he began to think about the pros and cons of this marriage once more. The Feng family was currently in dire straits. If the third prince could still be saved, he would have to grit his teeth and support him to the end, but … "Why is the third prince so obsessed with the Feng family? The amount of help that this prime minister can provide him right now is already very little. "
Duan Mu Qing laughed loudly, "Prime minister Feng, I will tell you the truth. There has been news from the imperial astronomer. Apparently, the imperial astronomer has indeed seen the appearance of the star of the phoenix, and this star of the phoenix is in the Feng family."
"What?" Feng Jin Yuan was shocked, "The star of the phoenix is really in the Feng family?" He then recalled what Zi Yang had said many years ago, but he had once believed that it was just a ploy by the Chen family to support Chen Yu. Could it be … "That's not right!" He shook his head once more, "Even if it is in the Feng family, how could you be certain that it is Chen Yu? It is true that the aspect of the phoenix has been passed down, but she is now the daughter of a concubine in the Feng manor. A daughter of a concubine definitely has no chance of becoming empress. Moreover, you should have heard that the Ninth Prince's legs have recovered. Based on how much the Emperor favors him, even an idiot would be able to see who the throne would be passed down to. Thinking about it like this, the star of the phoenix should be … "Speaking to this point, he felt goosebumps all over his body. Although he did not want to admit it, he could not bring himself to say the truth" It should be Heng Zheng. "
Who knew that Duan Mu Qing would not care about this at all, as he waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Regardless of who it is, as long as it is the Feng family, even if it is your third daughter or fourth daughter, it is not a problem. Prime minister Feng, with things having reached this point, do you still not understand? The so-called star of the phoenix is nothing more than a tool for the hearts of the people. The manor's eldest young miss already has the aspect of the phoenix. Now, if the matter of the star of the phoenix descending to the Feng manor is leaked, it will spread from one person to ten people and ten to a hundred people. When everyone knows about it, this matter will be settled. Those muddle-headed citizens will believe this. Eldest young miss Feng has the strongest first impression. This is the best way to win over the hearts of the people. "
Feng Jin Yuan could not help but secretly praise him for being clever. He never thought that they would be able to insert people into the Board of Astronomy. The Board of Astronomy even believed the Emperor. If this sort of thing was spread, the citizens would naturally form a basic understanding of the future Empress and even the Emperor. For the third prince, this was truly too powerful.
He really did change his expression quite quickly. He then let out a loud laugh and put the letter away. He then said to Duan Mu Qing: "Would deputy leader please tell the third prince that this marriage has been decided upon."
"Good!" Duan Mu Qing also began to laugh, "Then from this day forward, we will be one family. After the eldest young miss has become of age, the third prince will immediately take her into the manor as a secondary princess."
"Wait a moment!" Feng Jin Yuan was startled, "Secondary princess? How could she be a secondary princess? "
Duan Mu Qing waved his hand indifferently: "Hah! There is no need for Prime minister Feng to take this to heart. After all, the official princess is still present, and her illness was treated by the manor's second young miss. Now that the official princess' maidservants have been swapped out by the Empress, it will be a bit difficult to do anything. Also, the eldest young miss is the daughter of a concubine. When a daughter of a concubine marries a prince, she will definitely be made a secondary princess. That is not important. So what if she is a secondary princess or the official princess. When the day comes and we enter the palace, there is no rule that says that the official princess must be made the palace's main empress. "
Feng Jin Yuan thought about it and felt that this was the case. The current Emperor's first empress, when Emperor Tianwu was still a prince, was nothing more than a concubine. Could she not still be the empress? Thinking like this, he calmed down and nodded once more, "Then it will be decided like this." He stood up, "Deputy leader returning to the capital is truly not easy. Normally speaking, this prime minister should prepare a banquet. But with the current situation in the Feng manor, it is truly not suitable for a banquet. This prime minister will not keep deputy leader. "
His intention to send him off was clear, but Duan Mu Qing continued to remain seated. He did not even move his butt.
Seeing that he did not have any intention of leaving, Feng Jin Yuan knew that there was something else, thus he asked: "Does deputy leader have something else to say?"
Duanmu Qing said, "I came here today because I have two things to do. The first is naturally for the marriage between the third prince and the manor's eldest young miss. As for the second … "A gloomy expression appeared on his face once more," This lowly one wants to see the person that was able to cause my cousin to be unable to walk for many months, county princess Ji 'an! "
