Chapter 264 I've Already Joined the Game
He couldn't wait to see Jiang Xue, and wondered why she came here.
"Axue?" Feng Qingyu walked out of the room and saw Miss Jiang standing in the yard at a glance. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Xue seemed a little surprised and uttered "Huh" softly, but then smiled: "Mr. Feng."
Feng Qingyu coughed, trying to hide her inner nervousness, then smiled and said, "Ahem...Axue, Qingyu, why did you think of coming to see me?"
Jiang Xue smiled slightly, as beautiful as a blooming spring flower: "Qingyu, I have something to talk to you about."
Feng Qingyu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed after hearing this, but he still pulled himself together and invited her warmly, "Come in and sit down. Let's have a good chat."
Miss Jiang nodded and walked into the room with Feng Qingyu.
The two sat opposite each other and were silent for a moment.
Feng Qingyu secretly looked at Miss Jiang. She was wearing a white dress today. She looked like a fairy from heaven, breathtakingly beautiful.
Finally, Feng Qingyu broke the silence: "Axue, how are you doing recently?"
Miss Jiang smiled and replied: "Everything is fine, thank you for your concern."
In the following time, the two chatted about some trivial matters, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Feng Qingyu felt that the distance between himself and Miss Jiang had shortened, and a sweet feeling arose in his heart.
"Qingyu, do you know the Xuan family?" Jiang Xue hesitated for a while, and finally asked.
She has always been curious and concerned about Xuan Yuchen's identity.
Feng Qingyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then realized that the "Xuan Family" that Jiang Xue was referring to was actually the royal family. "Axue is talking about the royal family, right?" he confirmed softly.
Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes."
Feng Qingyu looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, he whispered, "Why did Axue mention the royal family?" He was a little worried, fearing that Jiang Xue would be involved in unnecessary disputes.
"I just wanted to ask." Jiang Xue answered simply, but the curiosity and concern in her eyes were hard to conceal.
Feng Qingyu sighed, knowing that since she asked, he couldn't hide it. "The emperor is seriously ill recently and can only live for a month at most." He whispered with a hint of heaviness in his tone.
Jiang Xue's heart tightened when she heard this, and she couldn't help but think of Xuan Yuchen. "How many sons does this emperor have?" She asked curiously, wondering if there would be a fierce battle for the throne like in those palace fighting novels.
Feng Qingyu hesitated, fearing that his words would implicate Jiang Xue and put her in danger. "Ah Xue, you..." He hesitated, but finally decided to tell her, "The emperor has the current crown prince and the second prince."
Jiang Xue heard this and thought to herself. Although she had no interest in the palace fighting, Xuan Yuchen's identity made it impossible for her to stay out of it.
She decided to be more cautious so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to herself and those around her.
"Is the crown prince a normal successor?" Jiang Xue asked. She was full of curiosity and worry about the power struggle in the royal family.
Feng Qingyu shook his head and said solemnly, "Liu Guifei's family has long had the idea of seizing the throne, and now they are even more ambitious. They have been secretly planning to support the second prince to ascend the throne."
"Could there be a palace coup?" Jiang Xue exclaimed. She didn't expect the power struggle in the royal family to be so fierce that it might even lead to a palace coup.
Feng Qingyu nodded and whispered, "A coup is not impossible. Concubine Liu's family is very powerful and they have many supporters in the court. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a legitimate claim, his influence in the court has gradually weakened in recent years. If Concubine Liu's family really launches a coup, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may find it difficult to resist."
Jiang Xue became even more worried after hearing this. She thought of Xuan Yuchen, the man who had said goodbye to her, who was now in the vortex of this power struggle.
She couldn't help but ask, "Who did your Feng family turn to?" She wanted to know the Feng family's position in this struggle in order to better understand the situation.
Feng Qingyu looked at Jiang Xue, a complicated expression flashed in his eyes, and finally he decided to tell the truth: "Our Feng family stands on the side of the prince."
Jiang Xue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she reacted, smiled and nodded, and responded with a modern word: "OK."
But obviously, Feng Qingyu didn't understand the meaning of the word and looked at her in confusion.
"It's okay," Jiang Xue explained, "I mean, we are on the same side now, just like family."
"Family?" Feng Qingyu repeated, seeming a little puzzled by the word.
"Axue, I have asked you to wear a mask recently because I want to protect you." He looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes full of worry and affection.
"I know." Jiang Xue nodded gently, with a determined light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Royal affairs are too complicated and too dangerous. You shouldn't get involved in them. Promise me, okay?" He held Jiang Xue's hand tightly, as if he was afraid of losing her.
He was well aware of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the royal struggle and did not want Jiang Xue to come to any harm.
However, Jiang Xue has now become the object of competition among all the royal family members and the focus of everyone's attention. Now everyone is looking for the person behind the three-season rice.
"But Qingyu, I'm already in the game." Jiang Xue slowly stood up and looked at Feng Qingyu with a firm gaze.
Feng Qingyu was shocked: "What did you say?"
"Achen, it's Xuan Yuchen." Jiang Xue's voice was calm and firm, but to Feng Qingyu, it was like a bomb exploding in his ears.
He widened his eyes and looked at Axue in disbelief: "How is this possible? How do you know him?"
Axue took a deep breath and told Feng Qingyu how she met Xuan Yuchen.
It turns out that there is an unknown past between them.
Feng Qingyu's mood became increasingly heavy. He realized that Axue had fallen into a deep vortex, and this vortex might bring her endless dangers.
"Axue, I can't let you take risks." Feng Qingyu said firmly.
Axue smiled and shook her head: "Qingyu, this is the fate I must face. I believe that I can cope with all challenges."
Feng Qingyu stared at Axue, his heart full of contradictions and helplessness.
He knew that once Axue made a decision, she would not change it easily.
But he couldn't let her face such a difficult situation alone.
Jiang Xue nodded gently, with a hint of helplessness and determination in her eyes. "Qingyu, I've already joined the game and can't stay out of it." Her words revealed a kind of acceptance and resistance to fate.
Feng Qingyu took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in his heart.
He knew very well that once Jiang Xue became involved with the royal family, she would never be able to escape the complicated and dangerous power struggle. He looked at her worriedly, his heart full of contradictions and struggles.
