Feng Yu Jiu Tian vol. 19 ch. 5 – part 2

“The disease was strange and severe that almost no doctor in the palace knew how to treat it, but at the time Princess Yu Quan was still dragging her sick body to barely support herself. During that time, Zhu Xuan stayed by his sister’s side day and night, he said that his sister was so ill that her brother-in-law didn’t visited her. He also said that once his brother-in-law passed by the gate of the queen’s palace, he didn’t even scan his eyes.”

After all, they’re a husband and wife.

Such a ruthless person is really unthinkable.

Luo Yun says coldly, “For Ruo Yan, Yu Quan’s position in the mind of the King of Bei Qi is no longer important, and his wife has become a useless woman.”

Rong Hu is a lover who loves his wife, after hearing what Ruo Yan did, a trace of anger can’t help but escape from his eyes. “No wonder Zhu Xuan hates this brother-in-law so much if he treated his married wife like this. Even if Princess Yu Quan wasn’t killed by Ruo Yan, based on Ruo Yan’s ruthless behavior alone, Zhu Xuan wouldn’t forgive him in this life”.

Qiu Yue squeezes Qiu Lan’s shoulder beside her and chuckles lightly, “Therefore, being a princess is not necessarily good, and being a maid is not necessarily bad. At least our Qiu Lan’s fortune is much better than that of Princess Yu Quan.”

Qiu Lan blushes and looks at Qiu Yue with a slight annoyance, “Do you want to listen to it or not??”

Qiu Yue surrenders quickly, and says softly, “Good Qiu Lan, don’t be angry, please go on quickly. What happened to the poor Princess Yu Quan?”

It was only then that Qiu Lan shows a look of recollection again, and whispers with some sadness, “Zhu Xuan had no other relatives in Li kingdom’s palace, guarding his sick sister only hopes that she would get better soon. Unexpectedly, two months later, there was another news from Bei Qi that the young queen who was newly crowned by the King of Bei Qi was pregnant. Aih, so pitiful, it was this news that killed his sister. Ruo Yan knew about it, Princess Yu Quan’s unexplained illness worsened that night and she died of vomiting blood in the harem.” She lets out a long sighs.

The room is quiet.

Everyone feels a little cold at the bottom of their heart.

Although Zhu Xuan can’t provide evidence, but Feng Ming and the others stand in the perspective of Zhu Xuan, and they will insist that Ruo Yan is the murderer of Princess Yu Quan.

What a coincidence.

And it is fully in line with Li Kingdom’s political interests.

Ruo Yan married Yu Quan because of the powerful background of the Bei Qi royal family represented by Yu Quan, but when Yu Quan’s mother died of illness, the King of Bei Qi had a new love, and the new queen was pregnant again, the pair of sister and brother of Yu Quan and Zhu Xuan who used to have a prominent position in the past, immediately became two wild grasses that lost the blessing of the Queen’s power, and their value fell sharply in Ruo Yan’s eyes.

In the past, Ruo Yan was bored of Yu Quan, but still let her occupied the back seat of the Li Kingdom, so as to give face to the King and Queen of Bei Qi. Now that the Queen of Bei Qi died and the King of Bei Qi married a bride, how could he care about the daughter of the former queen who married to a foreign country? Ruo Yan really no need to tolerate a worthless queen.

This vicious and ruthless man only like to get strong to force his way through, and has never had much patience and tolerance.

Qiu Xing asks inexplicably, “It seems that Princess Yu Quan was killed secretly by Ruo Yan, but it was claimed to be seriously ill and died. What about Zhu Xuan? Ruo Yan didn’t want to kill him too?”

Qiu Lan thinks for a while, but she doesn’t quite understand it too, “Zhu Xuan never told me about this. He only said that after his sister died of illness, Ruo Yan hastily arranged the funeral, and then gave him some things and sent several insignificant people to escort him back to Bei Qi.”

The twin characters of Qiu Yue and Qiu Xing appear again, the sisters ask together in unison, “But why did Zhu Xuan get to the Tong Kingdom?”

“Zhu Xuan said that his escort encountered robbers halfway through…”

“What robber?” Luo Yun sneers, “It must be sent by the new queen of Bei Qi.”

Regarding the mercenary thing, he ought to be classified as the expert level among the people present, everyone pretty much agrees to this statement.

It does make sense.

Zhu Xuan is also the eldest son of the former queen, after returning to Bei Qi safely, he might compete for the throne with the baby in the belly of the new queen in the future.

There are not many good women who wants to give in their position after becoming the first lady of the kingdom, for the sake of their unborn children, hidden dangers like Zhu Xuan with the title of prince will certainly be disposed of.

It is the most convenient and quickest way to send someone disguised as a robber to rob and kill on the road.

Speaking of this, it seems that the robbers of this era are also quite pitiful, their identity prone to be defrauded.

Rong Tian said that the King of the Tong kingdom once sent people pretending to be a robber to harass Xirei’s border, but Rong Tian was also unsettled, he himself acted as a robber to intercept and catch Miao Guang. Of course, the purpose of the operation that time was very just.

Like Zhu Xuan’s stepmother, she wanted to take care of Zhu Xuan, the people she sent also pretending to be a robber.

Ugh.

People can’t help but sympathize with this unfortunate child, Zhu Xuan who has bad luck but also magnificent.

After losing his mother first, then his own sister, after the two backing ups fall, he was driven out of the Li Kingdom by his ruthless brother-in-law, and his father who was not very close to him on daily basis, forgot his ‘son’ and bumped into a stepmother with a heart like a snake and scorpion….

Of course, because of his annoying personality that only communicates with his sister, even if he can return home safely, Feng Ming estimates that he is still more likely to be tortured to death by the new queen….. This is something to be taken up later in writing.

Rong Hu thinks of something, “Does Duke Ming remember? You once went to Fan Jia on a mission as a prince, and you ran into Ruo Yan. At that time, because of the new bereavement of the queen, he went to Fan Jia to propose the third princess, hoping to marry the third princess back.”

The third princess is the most beloved daughter of the King of Fan Jia. Ruo Yan buried his dead wife with his front foot and kicked off his brother-in-law, he went to Fan Jia with his back foot, absolutely wine-lover’s heart is not in the cup.

(前脚后脚 Front foot, back foot: doing one thing followed by another thing.

醉翁之意不在酒 wine-lover’s heart is not in the cup (idiom): a drinker not really interested in alcohol; having an ulterior motive)

Qiu Xing wrinkles her small nose and groans arrogantly, “Want to marry the third princess? Huh, he can only go back empty-handed when he met Duke Ming. In term of attractiveness to women, that man can’t compare with Duke Ming, how can the third princess go with him?”

But Feng Ming says with a sullen face, “Don’t mention it, it was only after the mission to Fan Jia that i bump into that disaster, from then on, bad luck has followed me. I originally thought that I only had a problem with him in the battle of the Aman River, as soon as I was reminded by Qiu Xing, I suddenly remembered that I had destroyed his second spring. No wonder he was still trying to harm me.”

His complaint makes everyone laugh, but the atmosphere becomes more relaxed.

Qiu Yue suggests, “Qiu Lan, since you feel so distressed about Zhu Xuan’s experience, do you want to consider admitting him as your younger brother? Didn’t you keep saying that you want a younger brother?”

“But he is a prince, I am a maid…”

“What’s wrong being a maid? Duke Ming said that everyone in the world is equal and can’t be judged by family background. Moreover, he is so miserable that although he is a prince, he is more pitiful than ordinary people.”

“This is true, but this matter…”

“But what? You…” Qiu Yue and Qiu Xing get excited and gather around Qiu Lan to urge her. “He suffered such a pitiful encounter, if I could help him I would have helped him, but he only likes to talk to you, has an extraordinary attachment to you, and clearly regards you as his sister in his heart. Besides, Duke Ming once said that he will be of great use to the Great King.”

Qiu Lan says sternly, “I don’t see him as useful, I really think he really needs a relative.”

“That’s right!” Qiu Yue claps her hands happily, “If you recognize him as a brother, he will call us sisters in the future. Well, his stepmother is so bad that sent someone to assassinate him, we’re in the Xiao family, can’t suffer this loss and will send someone to avenge him in the future. Speaking of assassination, isn’t Xiao family master group is the best?”

Don’t know when it started, but to one’s surprise Qiu Yue even says the words ‘our Xiao family.’

While speaking, she looks back and winks at Luo Yun.

Luo Yun who is clearly distinguished between public and private, says “This is not something that we, as subordinates, can take charge without authorization, we must have the young master’s nod.”

Feng Ming breaks out a cold sweat.

____________

The political marriage is damn scary. Ruo Yan has married a queen but he never fell in love, Feng Ming is his first love and for such overbearing king as him, it’s natural that he wants to have Feng Ming no matter how it takes, plus his kingdom is one of 2 biggest and most powerful kingdom aside of Xirei, so he never felt threatened by Rong Tian’s power, i can really understand Ruo Yan’s obsession towards Feng Ming and how he never stopped to snatch Feng Ming away from Rong Tian. But the kid is so damn clueless and didn’t think Ruo Yan fall in love with him.

Until now, there’s no ending book, and don’t know how this book will end.

On the special chapter ‘Nomination nonsense’ from vol. 17 or 18 it’s describing some clues from Feng Nong, in one of the scene it’s mentioned: Ruo Yan asked Feng Nong to become the Lead Actor with Feng Ming in the upcoming Fengyujiutian movie, while Rong Tian disappear to snatch back his throne. Can’t you see the hint???

Even Feng Nong herself wasn’t sure what will happen to the end, this is the main reason why i was EXHAUSTED and stop translating after vol 18 end, not because i’m exhausted of fast translating, but more of my heart is exhausted because of the story (which i can’t say due to spoiler) and more important is because of the missing last book, i only have book 1 to 29. If you can find Book 30, or any ending chapter please tell me.
