Chapter 1674 Phoenix Girl 37
He did not have any deep feelings for the old emperor. The reason was that when he was eight years old, he was pushed by the son of the old emperor's favorite concubine, Li Fei, and fell into the water and almost drowned.
It was Luo Qiao Yin who saved his life regardless of his own safety.
When Luo Qiaoyin returned home, he had a high fever and after the fever subsided, he forgot about the incident.
Shangguan Xu remembered this favor firmly. Later, when he met Luo Qiao Yin at a palace banquet, he was unconsciously attracted to her and gradually fell in love with her.
Li Bin's son was only punished with house arrest for three days, and the harm he suffered was thus covered up.
Later, Li Bin's son did not survive and drowned in the lake.
He just passed on a message, and there were plenty of people who took action.
He and Shangguan Ling grew up to be the most outstanding and the only two successor candidates in the old emperor's mind. Naturally, more attention was paid to them.
The national teacher predicted that he would be granted a marriage.
But the eldest wife of the Luo family was so shameless that she did such a heinous thing, causing Luo Wenhai's family to be broken into pieces.
Shangguan Xu once thought that Luo Qiao Yin had met with an accident and died, but he heard news about her not long after. It turned out that she had gone to Fenglin Country.
"Drag them all out!" Shangguan Xu tried every possible means to find out the truth. Now that he knew that it was Luo Wenhong's family who did this good deed, he naturally would not let them go.
Luo Qingyao, Luo Qingyuan and Wan Shi had no idea what was going on, so they were driven out by the officers and soldiers and gathered together, shivering.
Luo Wenhong looked dejected. Wan rushed over and asked him, "What happened? Where are we going?"
He said nothing. Shangguan Xu kindly explained a few things, and the three of them were stunned. What?! Luo Qiaoxi became the emperor of Fenglin Kingdom?!
They were abandoned by the old emperor and sent to Fenglin Kingdom as hostages for Luo Qiaoxi to vent his anger.
Luo Qingyao failed to marry Shangguan Ling. Just as they were about to get married, a war broke out.
After this series of defeats, Shangguan Ling had even less desire to get married.
They never expected that their good days would not come, but disaster would strike.
The family of four was neatly locked in a prison van, and along the way they were scolded, pointed at, and treated like rotten eggs and vegetable leaves by the people.
They believed that the attack from Fenglin Kingdom must have been caused by their family.
Luo Qingyao and Wan's ugly faces were also accused of being "monsters", and it was said that they were like "monsters", with vicious minds and harming innocent people.
Luo Qingyuan had never suffered such humiliation in his life. Now he was locked up, and the people scolded, blamed, and humiliated him in various ways. Strange and sarcastic eyes were cast at them from 360 degrees. He felt itchy all over, extremely ashamed, and lost his dignity.
Luo Qingyao hopes that Shangguan Ling will appear at the city gate, and her beloved will come to save her.
But after leaving the city gate, there was no sign of Shangguan Ling, and Luo Qingyao's face turned pale.
"You're counting on Shangguan Ling to save you? Stop daydreaming." Shangguan Xu sneered, "You're not a Phoenix Girl, and you don't have the capital. Why should Shangguan Ling pay the price to save you?"
"What's more, your family has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. If Shangguan Ling dares to come, it is equivalent to giving up that position." The old emperor almost hated Luo Wenhong's family to death. If Shangguan Ling dared to come, it would be a taboo and would definitely be hated by the old emperor.
Luo Qingyao was desperate, but she was unwilling to accept the outcome. Everything was going well, but Luo Qiaoxi was like an indestructible cockroach and kept coming back.
This time, they had no means of resistance and were just prisoners, at the mercy of others.
Shangguan Xu was not polite to them. He only ate one meal every two days, which consisted of steamed buns, and half a bowl of water every three days. As long as they didn't die, it was fine.
"He's just a dying person, and he still wants to eat and drink? You're dreaming." Shangguan Xu wanted the Luoqiao and Yin sisters to handle it personally, otherwise, he would have done it long ago.
He didn't know what had happened to Luo Qiaoyin, and he couldn't help but wonder, what would he do if she had other young talents around her when he left?
Shangguan Xu's face darkened when he thought of this. If they hadn't taken action, Luo Qiao Yin would have married him long ago, and their children would have been able to run and jump by now.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he asked someone to carve words on Luo Qingyao's already disfigured face.
The family must be together. Luo Qingyuan wanted to resist, but his legs were broken immediately and he became a cripple.
"If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. This is the result of your disobedience!" Shangguan Xu whipped the prison van, scaring Luo Qingyao and Wan Shi so much that they shrank back.
What to do? What can I do?
Luo Wenhong was annoyed by their questions and scolded Luo Qingyao: "It was all your good idea!"
"If you had behaved yourself and had no malicious intentions, how could our family have ended up as prisoners!" Luo Wenhong began to shirk responsibility.
"I'm just suggesting it. If you're not tempted, I can't do anything to harm them." Luo Qingyao retorted, "You pushed my aunt into this fire pit just for your official position. It's clear that you're blinded by profit and have done many harmful things. Why do you blame me for it all?"
Luo Wenyun saw Luo Wenhong's true face, and when he sent her out, she quietly packed her bags and ran away.
Thanks to Luo Qiaoyin's medicine, Luo Wenhong sought medical help everywhere and finally came to Prince Cheng. He then set his sights on Luo Wenyun, but she accidentally caught him discussing advice with Wan.
Luo Wenyun ran away, and Prince Cheng naturally failed to help Luo Wenhong, so he became this feminine, neither a man nor a woman.
When they arrived in Fencheng, the family became even more panicked.
When Shangguan Xu entered Fencheng, he clearly felt that the momentum, strength, and morale of the Fenglin army were much stronger than those of the Tianli army.
The most important point was that he did not see any soldier's clothes torn. It was winter now and they were all wearing cotton jackets, which were made of real cotton, not fake cotton wool.
I heard from the people that they raised a lot of cattle, sheep and pigs to improve the food for the soldiers.
And what about Tianli Kingdom?
He was not well fed and well clothed. His people inquired and learned that only generals could have enough food and warm clothes, and even drink wine and eat meat.
Shangguan Xu shook his head. It was only a matter of time before Tianli Kingdom was invaded, and they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Ling Heng came to meet Shangguan Xu in person. He wanted to see what kind of person was the one who harmed the emperor.
That was all he saw. He pretended not to notice the injuries on Luo Wenhong's family.
Shangguan Ling observed Ling Heng, the combat commander, and found that the bloody aura around him was particularly strong.
I heard that he had killed several generals of Tianli Kingdom. But after getting to know him, he was not as bizarre as the rumors said about Tianli Kingdom, such as a man with three heads and six arms and a bloody mouth.
Ling Heng ignored Shangguan Xu and let him wander around Fencheng. The people accepted his change of status well.
The people had a hard life. The officials in Fencheng only cared about eating, drinking and enjoying themselves, and squeezed the people's money. The people were burdened with heavy taxes and could not even meet their basic living needs. Many people were even captured and forced to serve in the army, which meant death.
Feng Lin captured Fencheng. The people witnessed with their own eyes the officials of Tianli Kingdom being beheaded one after another, and they applauded.
Ling Heng would not allow the soldiers to oppress the people. The people felt the friendliness of the soldiers, and their uneasy hearts gradually calmed down. In less than two days, they returned to their previous peaceful life, as if they were the people of Fenglin Kingdom.
