Feng Yu Jiu Tian vol. 19 ch. 5 – part 1

Translator: churnie

Qiu Lan is still quick-witted enough, she quickly breaks the silence and continues to say, “Yes, I think the same as Qiu Yue, The King of Li is mostly interested in the identity of Princess Yu Quan. Princess Yu Quan is the queen’s biological daughter and the eldest princess too, she has more special status in Bei Qi than other princesses, it makes sense if Ruo Yan married her. By the way, Zhu Xuan once told me that he had this problem of dislike talking since he was a child, he didn’t pay attention to anyone, even when he saw his imperial father and mother, he only attached to his only sister, Princess Yu Quan. After he learned that his sister was going to marry to Li kingdom, he went to his imperial mother and knelt for days and nights, he refused to be separated from his sister no matter what.”

Everyone is stunned.

This is just right.

When the princess gets married, there is no reason to take her brother to her husband’s house for no reason.

In this world, patriarchal sons are preferred, and the Bei Qi royal family married their daughter. How could they take the initiative to send away his own son?

It turns out that there is such a story.

It can also be seen how important the position of Princess Yu Quan in Zhu Xuan’s mind. In comparison, it’s likely that the king and queen of Bei Qi will have to step aside. Qiu Yue who tries to dilute the mistake she makes just now, nods her head again and again, “So it’s like this, the queen saw her son begging like this, she was reluctant to agree to it too.”

Qiu Lan shakes her head and explains softly, “The King of Bei Qi already had several sons at that time, but the queen herself gave birth to only one. How could a mother give up a pair of son and daughter to go to a faraway place? Once they went, didn’t know when will they meet again. So the Queen of Bei Qi refused to nod at that time.”

“Oh?”

“But oddly enough, the brother and sister are really very close to each other. Not only Zhu Xuan is attached to his older sister, but the older sister also loves this silent and quiet younger brother very much. Princess Yu Quan also knows that this is against the rules. But when she heard that the younger brother was kneeling in front of the palace hall gate begging in such pitiful way, she couldn’t bear it, she even went to the palace hall gate to kneel with his younger brother regardless of her imminent status as the queen of the Li kingdom, she also seriously swore to the king and queen of Bei Qi that if she couldn’t bring her younger brother, she would rather not marry forever, and decline the King of Li’s marriage.”

Feng Ming and others look at each other in surprise.

Gossip, this is the big gossip of the Eleven Kingdoms!

It turns out that the arrogant, domineering and fearless King of Li Ruo Yan is almost declined in marriage?

However, this crisis must have not really happened, otherwise, with Ruo Yan’s terrible temper, I am afraid that he would have immediately led the troops to destroy Bei Qi kingdom.

Sure enough, Qiu Lan says, “It was enough for Zhu Xuan alone, plus with princess Yu Quan making such an oath, the matter have become so big. In the end, there was no other way, the King of Bei Qi could only agree and let Zhu Xuan left Bei Qi with his sister and entered the Li kingdom’s palace. According to Zhu Xuan, it was there that he met Master Dong Fang Tian who taught him calculus, he didn’t know who Dong Fang Tian was at the time, but he was fascinated by the old man’s saying that those calculus were very interesting, so he begged his sister to come forward and let Dong Fang Tian go to the palace to give him lectures. This may be the first time he actively asked to interact with someone else, and his sister is very happy.”

Needless to say, everyone understands the rest.

After The King of Li’s Empress personally asked Dong Fang Tian to teach her beloved younger brother, dare Dong Fang Tian not to teach him wholeheartedly?

This is also not bad. The good apprentice he has carefully taught is not only like a color blue made out of indigo becomes more vivid than indigo but also become a fine bird who chooses the tree to nest in, and it seem like it’s the Will of Heaven that he threw himself into the embrace of the Xiao family. Someone suddenly speaks and asks a question, “How did Princess Yu Quan die?”

(青出于蓝而胜于蓝 the color blue is made out of indigo but is more vivid than indigo (idiom): fig. the student surpasses the master

良禽择木而栖  a fine bird chooses a tree to nest in (proverb): fig. a talented person chooses a patron of integrity)

It turns out that Luo Yun takes the initiative to participate in the discussion again, which is really a good phenomenon.

However, rivers and mountains are easy to change but man’s character much harder. As soon as the top killer of the young generation of the Xiao family opens his mouth, the question immediately turned to ‘death’ and the like.

Rong Hu on the other side of the table says solemnly, “I have just checked this problem these few days. On the surface, it seems that she died of a sudden illness. Princess Yu Quan was still very young at the time, and she hadn’t been marrying Ruo Yan for a few years.”

“No, Zhu Xuan told me that he was sure that his sister was killed by Ruo Yan.” Qiu Lan shakes her head slightly, as if she’s afraid to mention such things, she whispers, “Ruo Yan is really scary, what kind of a great king would go to a teacher to study poison like him?”

Feng Ming can’t help but being frightened when it’s mentioned that Ruo Yan using poison.

He has experienced this at least twice, the first time was the poisoning of Fan Jia King, to his last breath, that caused him to have no choice but immediately think up every possible way to escape with the third princess of Fan Jia. The second time was even worse, it was Feng Ming’s turn to be poisoned by the extremely poisonous pumice rock of Ruo Yan’s own hands, the poison broke out and the pain caused him to roll in Rong Tian’s arms. Had it not been for Rong Tian a step ahead of the opponent, he would have been caught by Miao Guang who disguised him as a woman to go to Li kingdom.

Speaking of this, he didn’t know if the mixed poison of Shen Yu and Wen Lan, which he was almost hit again this time, was also Ruo Yan’s doing?

If so. . . . . .

Feng Ming shudders.

Ruo Yan that guy who makes people frightened, why won’t he let him go?

Apart from that he beat him in a fierce battle on the banks of the Aman River by a chain of boats strategy, there’s no other place to offend him, right? Beside even if the chain of boats was set on fire, Feng Ming was only forced to counterattack in self-defense.

Every time he thinks of this King of Li Ruo Yan, Feng Ming’s hair will stand up all over his body. He has been caught by many people, but only Ruo Yan can give him such a terrible sense of oppression.

Those days when he was locked up in Li kingdom were even more unbearable to look back on.

That day he thought that Rong Tian had been killed, he had to pretend to lose his memory, in order to protect Xirei and to survive, every night he was frightened had to share the bed with the man, although he didn’t really do ‘that’ but……

For Feng Ming, all of this was a past that he would rather die than to revive over again, it was so humiliating to the extreme when he thought of it. Even to the closest and trusted Rong Tian, ​​he would never spoken in details.

In fact, Rong Tian didn’t want the shadow of him being humiliated by The King of Li Wang left in his heart.

Feng Ming has his own thoughts, and Luo Yun also has a secret hidden in his heart that he can’t tell others. At present, the drug packet that Luo Qian Qian handed to him has been hiding next to his body, and he is having a headache about how to hint Rong Hu without a trace.

Rong Hu is the trusted aide who is arranged next to Feng Ming by The King of Xirei, his vigilance is extraordinarily high compare to ordinary people, in order to protect his mother and half-brother Feng Ming at the same time, Luo Yun not only has to hint Rong Hu, but also not allowed Rong Hu to raise the doubt to the internal of Xiao family.

Because once Rong Hu detected that the food is indeed poisoned, the next step must be a thorough investigation.

Now, it happens to be an excellent opportunity.

“What Qiu Lan said is very reasonable, if the enemy strive in, as long as it’s not full army attack, I myself and my brothers can deal with it. But if Ruo Yan to plot against the young master and continue to use poison, it will be a headache. Since the fake Du Feng incident, I no longer dare to underestimate the unfashionable trick of poison, who would have thought that there would be such a vicious method of mixing poison in the world?” Luo Yun says slowly, looking at Rong Hu, and seriously reminding him, “Rong Hu, you have to be more careful of young master’s dietary in the future. Not only you must be careful of the young master’s dietary poisoning, but also the brothers who guard the young master, you must also remind them to be careful of the poisoning, if the guards are poisoned, the young master will be in danger.”

Rong Hu solemnly says, “Don’t worry, leave it to me. That scoundrel Ruo Yan bullied Duke Ming several times, one day, The Great King will kill him to avenge Duke Ming.”

Qiu Xing still remembers half of what Qiu Lan says, she looks at Qiu Lan while tilting her head, “Why is Zhu Xuan so sure that his sister was killed by Ruo Yan? Did he find any evidence?”

Qiu Lan mutters for a moment then says with knitting her eyebrows, “I understand what Zhu Xuan meant, but he had no evidence. However, he said that his sister had always been in good health and rarely got sick since childhood. After she married and left for Li kingdom, Ruo Yan was still good to his sister at first, later on, his sister advised Ruo Yan not to kill too much and easily used soldiers to intimidate neighboring kingdoms. Unexpectedly, Ruo Yan was annoyed.”

Qiu Xing greatly shivers and her face change, “Is it because of such a small matter, Ruo Yan killed his wife? What a vicious man.”

“That’s not true. Ruo Yan gradually became impatient with her sweet wife and just ignored her, because after all, she was the direct daughter of the Queen of Bei Qi and the in-law family values ​​her very much. This is what makes Zhu Xuan very sure that her sister’s sudden death from a serious illness had something to do with Ruo Yan.”

Qiu Yue asks in baffled, “Why?”

Qiu Lan breaks the mystery in one sentence, “Less than a few years after Yu Quan married Ruo Yan, the Queen of Bei Qi, the mother of Princess Yu Quan, died of illness. The King of Bei Qi quickly crowned a young beauty as the new queen, as soon as the bad news spread to the Li kingdom, the healthy Princess Yu Quan immediately fell ill.”

Qiu Xing, the girl who has the least courage, lets out a low cry “Ah”.

_________

In case everyone forgot the previous book/volume, Rong Tian asked all the people around Feng Ming who knows the poison was caused by Ruo Yan, to not saying a single thing about it, Lady Yaoye, Rong Hu, Luo Yun and others, lest it makes Feng Ming more frighten about Ruo Yan, even by a mere mentioning his name Feng Ming has shivered. Rong Tian doesn’t want to let Ruo Yan conquered Feng Ming’s mind by fear. The series of Feng Ming kidnaps which’s described above enough to remind me all the sad scenes happen to Feng Ming in previous volumes, i was shocked and crying much when Rong Tian had said he chose Meiji as his queen, i thought he was really lost his memory and i’m greatly disappointed, i hate Meiji so much… typical third wheel character in any BL stories. Looks Harmless and Beautiful but Toxic.
