Chapter 198: Avoid the Sharp Edge First
Chapter 198: Avoid the Sharp Edge First
When Chu Mingyi asked Zhengui about the omission, he suddenly felt that what Chu Mingyi said seemed to make some sense.
Ever since Chu Mingyi and Feng Xiaoqi broke off their engagement, both she and Chu Mingyi have been on a downward spiral.
On the contrary, those who are close to Feng Xiaoqi are becoming more and more prosperous.
"In that case, why don't you go and get that girl back to you?"
"She was so devoted and in love with you at the beginning. If you wanted to win her back, wouldn't it be easy? What's the point of bringing those two rubbish back to your house?"
Concubine Zheng frowned slightly and asked Chu Mingyi.
"Could it be that things are not as simple as you think? In fact, Cheng has been trying to win back Xiao Qi all along, but she seems to have made up her mind to be with Pluto."
"As for those two pieces of trash, do you think I don't want them to die? I hope more than anyone else that they will suddenly die, but my father won't let them die."
Chu Mingyi really felt very bitter in his heart, as if all roads were blocked.
"Please let me think about this matter first. I will come to discuss it with you after I come up with a solution."
"You are no match for the Pluto. You should stay away from him for the time being."
After hearing Chu Mingyi mention Chu Anggui, he finally calmed down.
Of course he knew Chu Ang's strength, so he had to think of a plan first.
Since her son is not capable of defeating Chu Ang, she will come to help.
The mother and son chatted for a few more minutes, and when they saw that Chu Mingyi's mood had eased a little, Zhengui left.
Chu Mingyi sat alone in the hall and began to look for a breakthrough in this matter again. He still wanted to know how the place where he hid his money was leaked.
"It's not exciting at all. It seems that they are still unwilling to give up their evil intentions. Your Majesty, you should remind the emperor to be more careful."
Feng Xiaoqi, who was standing on a big tree with Chu Ang watching the fun, curled her lips, seeming to be dissatisfied with the ending.
"Indeed, the result is not satisfactory, but it seems that the two of them are still unwilling to give up on you. I think you are the one who should pay more attention to you."
Chu Ang turned his head to glance at Feng Xiaoqi, and the big hand on her waist tightened a bit, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.
No one would be happy that his woman is always being dreamed of by such an ugly guy.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Without me, he wouldn't be where he is today. They couldn't defeat me before, and they won't be able to defeat me in the future."
"If they dare to provoke me again, I will dig a hole and bury them."
When Feng Xiaoqi heard Chu Ang say this, she knew that Chu Ang still cared about her past with Chu Mingyi, so she clenched her fist and waved it in front of Chu Ang and said.
"Pfft!"
"Just you? You don't even dare to kill a fish, and you dug a hole to bury others. It's almost like you dug a hole and let others bury you."
Chu Ang was immediately amused by Feng Xiaoqi's expression, and then he poked Feng Xiaoqi's forehead and said.
"Well, let's put this matter aside for now. Just don't meet with them alone."
"Now they are truly doomed, and there is nothing they can do."
Chu Ang thought for a moment and decided that he really didn't intend to put all his energy into dealing with a waste like Chu Mingyi, so he just let everything take its course.
Three days later, heavy snow suddenly hit the capital city. In just three days, the snow completely blocked the city.
The entire capital city fell into panic, and all food, quilts, winter clothes and charcoal were looted.
On the first day of heavy snowfall, Feng Xiaoqi ordered all of the Jiang family's shops to close.
On the second day after the city was closed due to heavy snow, only a few brand new shops were left in the capital, selling food and quilts at the most exorbitant prices.
On the third day of the city being blocked by snow, some poor people had no food or bedding at home, so they could only endure hunger and cold.
On the fourth day of the city being closed due to heavy snow, all the Jiang family shops were open to sell food, bedding, clothes, and charcoal at sky-high prices.
"I knew you had hoarded a lot of food and supplies. I thought you were going to help the victims, but I didn't expect you were trying to make money from the national disaster."
Chu Ang was also shocked when he learned about Feng Xiaoqi's actions. This was completely beyond his usual understanding of Feng Xiaoqi. With anger and disappointment, he came to Feng Xiaoqi's yard and spoke to him bluntly.
At this moment, Feng Xiaoqi was slowly making medicine. When she saw Chu Ang coming in, she just stood up and wanted to say hello, but was scolded by Chu Ang.
"Your Majesty, you have wronged our eldest daughter."
Xingyue was a little angry and took two steps forward to refute Chu Ang.
"Xingyue, please go down first. The prince and I will talk alone."
Feng Xiaoqi gently reached out and grabbed Xingyue's arm, preventing her from confronting Chu Ang directly.
Feng Xiaoqi understood Chu Ang's temper. With Xingyue's identity, if she directly confronted Chu Ang at this moment, even if they were right, Chu Ang might not let her go.
How could the mighty King of Hell allow a maid to commit treason?
Chu Ang's face was extremely ugly at the moment. Originally, he really had no intention of keeping Xingyue alive, even though Xingyue was Feng Xiaoqi's personal maid.
But now that Feng Xiaoqi had spoken, he didn't bother or pursue the matter any further.
He now wanted to hear how Feng Xiaoqi was going to explain this matter.
"Yes."
Xingyue also knew that she was too impulsive. She could not bear the aura released by Chu Ang. Now she was very obedient and turned around and left after performing the Yi Li.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so angry. You should know my character."
"I bought all these things with money. Of course I can't ruin the Jiang family. I want to make those corrupt officials and profiteers who are rich as hell bleed first."
"As for the common people, they didn't have money to buy it before, and they naturally don't have money to buy it now. After a day or two, I will naturally give them the things I prepared for them."
Feng Xiaoqi was not angry. After all, she had not discussed this matter with Chu Ang from beginning to end. It was normal for Chu Ang to have such a radical reaction now.
"I never thought that my queen is a chivalrous warrior who robs the rich and helps the poor."
After Feng Xiaoqi's explanation, Chu Ang immediately understood it. He smiled gently and spoke to Feng Xiaoqi half-jokingly, which helped to ease the embarrassment just now.
Feng Xiaoqi nodded seriously, and suddenly pulled out Chu Ang, and put the long sword at his waist on his neck: "Robbery!"
The moment the sword was pointed straight up, countless secret guards rushed in from all directions, drawing their weapons and pointing them at Feng Xiaoqi.
