Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 61 Unexpected
Bai Xiu was about to leave, but was stopped by Feng Qingyao.

She picked up the bird's nest porridge and took a sip, deliberately raised her voice and said, "Qing Ge is getting more and more serious, this bird's nest tastes really delicious, you can go to the cook's side to have a look later, if you have something, help me make another bowl."

Bai Xiu's face tensed.

It wasn't until I saw a figure leaving behind the window that I suddenly realized, "So the second lady hasn't left?"

Feng Qingyao gently put the bird's nest back, "Go catch the rabbit, remember to ask for a male."

"Yes." Bai Xiu walked out the door quickly.

An hour later.

Feng Qingyao looked at the rabbit who kept patting the ground with its hind feet, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

As expected, the second prince, Ma Ning, should have arrived.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from behind the house.The footsteps were very light, and they stopped and walked, as if they were groping for something, walked along the wall to the door, and stopped again.

"Leave the main entrance open, but want to climb over the wall to come in. His Highness King Ning really does not take the usual way." Feng Qingyao teased.

The person at the door paused, and finally opened the door and walked in.

"Did you know Xiao Wang would come?" Lang Lang couldn't hide his surprise with a smile.

She made a gesture, Bai Xiu understood, and left the room with the jumping rabbit.

"Prince Ning's vision in choosing people, forgive me for not flattering me." Her eyes were shining, even in the face of the ruthless and iron-fisted King Ning, who never relents in killing people, the sarcasm in her tone was still undiminished.

King Ning knocked his eyelids.

The conspiracy was exposed, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Since Miss Feng knows that Xiao Wang will come, she naturally understands what Xiao Wang is doing." The implication is that it is up to you to cooperate or not.

"There are shameless people, there are vicious people, but like King Ning who does shameless things with the virtue of a gentleman, there is probably no second in Southern Chu."

"Good scolding." Not only was King Ning not annoyed, but he clapped his hands appreciatively, "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. In the future, the little king will be crowned in the great treasure dragon robe, and who will ask how the throne was obtained."

"What if His Highness loses?"

"Win the king and lose the bandit."

"Your Highness can think about it, so it won't disappoint those adults who support His Highness behind the scenes."

"Based on the prince and his staff, the outcome is still unknown."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

"Today, among the six ministries, there are three ministers, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry, who have taken refuge under the prince's banner, but the functions of the three ministries are limited. The Ministry of Officials can only appoint and remove officials below the fourth rank; the Ministry of Rites is responsible for tributes and sacrifices, which has no major role; and the Ministry of Industry, Now years of fighting, the national treasury is tight, and there is no extra silver to build construction projects, so the Ministry of Industry cannot bring real benefits to the prince. The only thing that is worthy of Xiao Wang's headache is that Yushitai and Dali Temple have his people—"

Feng Qingyao took a sip of tea and listened to his analysis of the current political situation with great interest.

After he finished speaking, she put down the tea bowl, and kindly reminded: "Prince Ning, does General Ling know that General Ling is the crown prince's tutor?" It is Ling Weiyuan, the current first-rank general.

As far as she knew, the crown prince did not have much contact with the Ling residence, but the general was very fond of the crown prince.

"Miss, what do you mean, Ling Wei Yuan is maintaining neutrality in the open, but secretly supporting the prince?" This was beyond his expectation.

"Your Highness, do you still remember that Xiliang invaded our Southern Chu border last year? The emperor originally wanted the King of War to lead the army. The imperial decree was issued, but the crown prince was in command, and General Ling was the forward general. Your Highness has seen that whoever went out before, General Ling would give in. Is it handsome?"

"That's because Jingnan launched an attack at the same time, and Ling Weiyuan, who was still ill, was forced to fight against the crown prince."

Feng Qingyao remained silent, but smiled meaningfully.

And King Ning seemed to suddenly understand something.During that time, he clearly had the upper hand, and the crown prince's position was in jeopardy. After the war, the crown prince triumphantly returned to court, and the emperor's father's attitude towards the crown prince changed a lot, and the two returned to an evenly matched situation.

Without that war—
