"Prince Duan, what do you say about Concubine Xu and Li Xiangyi?"
Among the two people at that time, Xu Anjiao died, and Li Xiangyi became the suspected murderer.
Feng Lanxiu stood up and said respectfully to the Queen Mother: "Royal Grandmother, this incident was really an accident at the time. It had nothing to do with Miss Li. I happened to meet my grandson as he was passing by."
Li Xiangyi had better be fine, otherwise his reputation will be bad.
"Why did Prince Duan think she entered the palace? Did she really come to Prince Duan's palace to be a dancing girl?" Princess Ming and the eldest daughter couldn't stand listening anymore and asked coldly.
"This... I don't know." Feng Lanxiu had long thought that this was indeed a big failure. He didn't realize there was any problem here before, but now that he thinks about it, it's really a mistake.
I just entered the house with the purpose, "That day, Miss Li appeared at the banquet, and the second brother and the others met her. She also specifically told the king her grievances, but at first she met her cousin."
Before entering the palace, Feng Lanxiu had already thought about how to answer. When Ming and the eldest princess asked, he calmly told what happened that day.
"Li Xiangyi, who Yu'er met first?" the Queen Mother said solemnly.
"Exactly." Feng Lanxiu answered the Queen Mother calmly, "My cousin's temperament has never been pity for women, and then he brought it up in front of his grandson. At that time, my second brother was by his side, and he and his grandson also met Miss Li."
It was pointed out that Feng Yi'an had met Li Xiangyi long ago.
I didn't sleep well all night, and I had discussed it secretly with Li Xian and Zhang Wanyin before. Feng Lanxiu naturally knew how to answer the question with the least responsibility.
"As for the rumors about the grievances between Concubine Xu and Miss Li, it is actually not what outsiders say. My grandson did not see Miss Li at the time, but only learned from the servants' mouths that he felt that Concubine Xu
Inexplicably, it's a girl's house, and the main dancer is a dancer. If it is really injured and there are guests in the house, it will be inconvenient, so I will send a message to Concubine Xu to let the person go."
The more Feng Lanxiu talked about it, the more calm he became, indicating that he didn't actually know the whole thing at the time, that is, he just felt pity for the dancer.
If the main dancer is injured, she cannot dance, and after a few dances, she cannot dance again.
It makes sense to take action based on such a reason.
Xu Anjiao is dead, and Li Xiangyi cannot commit suicide. Feng Lanxiu's words now are naturally aimed at the various rumors outside.
The rumors are unbelievable!
"Prince Duan means that he and Li Xiangyi have no relationship as rumored outside?" Princess Ming and Dachang couldn't help but ask.
"Why did the eldest princess say this? Although Xiao Wang is not talented, he still knows etiquette, justice and shame. How can he have anything to do with a dancing girl whom he has never met, let alone implicate Concubine Xu because of such a thing."
Feng Lanxiu's usually gentle face showed anger, and he flicked his sleeves in displeasure, "On the contrary, it was Ming and the eldest princess who repeatedly found Xiao Wang's head, and also implicated Miss Li in Xiao Wang. Miss Li is the second brother's future.
How come my concubine is related to the little king?"
This completely pushed Li Xiangyi out. Whether it was true or false, life or death, it had nothing to do with him!
King Duan's words were very wonderful. Not only did he shirk his own responsibility, but he also pushed King Yong out of the way.
Yu Xijiao thought calmly and listened quietly. It wasn't her turn yet. Of course, when it was her turn, it was just a simple question.
When replying in front of the Queen Mother, the most clever thing is to use the word "true". How can it sound the most true? Of course, there should be more true and less false.
Of course, the best thing is to be completely true, with only a few subtle evasions on key parts to achieve the goal. This is more reassuring than half-truths and half-falsehoods.
The royal family has never been very worried about others...
What I dislike the most is hiding it!
"Prince Duan, the rumors are not credible?" Ming and the eldest princess didn't make any fuss, they just frowned and asked in doubt.
"Of course it's not credible. If the rumors are credible, what do you want the Criminal Department Yamen to do?" Feng Lanxiu said displeased.
Ming and the eldest princess nodded after thinking for a while, and actually agreed, and looked at the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, this woman has ulterior motives, and she may have hidden it from King Duan and King Yong.
Yes, take a look, I have sent people to check these, and I have also asked many people, and there are several young masters from aristocratic families here."
Although the eldest princess of Minghe was punished and demoted, she was still the eldest princess of the royal family. With so many years of prestige, the things she sent to inquire about were indeed quickly found out, and no one else dared to know anything.
The secrets are all in this book. In order to win people's trust, Ming and the eldest princess even asked people to have their fingerprints pressed. It can be said to be extremely true.
The Queen Mother calmly opened the book in her hand and read it at a glance. After finishing it, she snorted and threw the book in front of Feng Lanxiu: "Read it for yourself!"
Feng Lanxiu's heart trembled, he picked up the book respectfully, and looked up carefully. The more he looked at it, the worse his face became.
Sure enough, there is the fact that Li Xiangyi looked at several young men from aristocratic families, and it is also very subtle.
The first one was rejected for marriage. If he was just rejected, it wouldn't be anything. But later, the young man heard from his aunt that it was Li Xiangyi who showed his affection to his cousin, and she also said that it was his cousin who was marrying him.
When I went there with him to see each other, I fell in love with Li Xiangyi.
The prince was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Later, his cousin also failed, and the Li family met another one with a better family background.
I looked at four people in succession, and each one had a better family background than the last. Basically, it sounded like they had just rejected the person in front of them and looked at the person in the back. The line was blurred.
Finally, this clan son appeared. After he appeared, the Li family rejected the marriage proposal of the fourth son of the noble family, clearly telling the other party that the two families were not destined to marry each other.
Later, the clan son came to ask for marriage. It is said that he and Li Xiangyi's father were very close for a while. Later, I don't know what happened. I heard that the clan clan son was only asking for a concubine, and Li Xiangyi's father kicked the clan clan son out.
...In the end, something happened to Li Xiangyi's father, and Li Xiangyi went to Beijing to redress his grievances.
Thinking about it carefully, each time the family background is better than the last, and they are often connected to the previous ones. Are they really not climbing up by stepping on these young men from aristocratic families?
The booklet also mentioned Li Xiangyi's cousin at the end, saying that her cousin had been waiting for Li Xiangyi to get married. The house had prepared a lot of wedding items and was just waiting for Li Xiangyi to get married this time.
The two have been in love since childhood. Although they have not formally entered into a marriage contract, it is the acquiescence of the two families.
As for Li Xiangyi's several visits, the cousin also expressed ignorance and did not know about it. Someone must have deliberately ruined his cousin's reputation by saying that the two were childhood sweethearts. His uncle also repeatedly said that he would let his cousin marry him in the future.
Own……
This booklet is not large, and the testimonies are all fingerprinted, which shows its authenticity.
Even though Feng Lanxiu had been prepared, he felt angry when he saw this brochure. He had really been deceived by a woman with extremely bad character.
He held the booklet firmly and pursed his lips.
"What do you think of Prince Duan?" the Queen Mother asked coldly.
"I would like to report to the emperor's grandmother, my grandson thinks that this girl may not be as good-natured as the rumors outside." After calming down, Feng Lanxiu said in a deep voice, his expression calm and calm, without any trace of panic.
The booklet was delivered to the chamberlain's hands.
"Queen, please take a look too!" The Queen Mother looked at the Queen who was hesitant to speak, and said calmly.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." The Emperor quickly stood up and thanked her, and then took the brochure. Compared with Feng Lanxiu, the Queen was more able to handle it. After reading the brochure, she was silent for a moment and said with a smile, "Would you like the Queen Mother to declare?"
Li Xiangyi?"
In fact, people have already come, and now they are in Fengyi Palace. When they heard that the Empress Dowager announced the summons, Li Xiangyi followed the chamberlain and walked in timidly, and then knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager. As soon as he spoke, his eyes turned red, and tears of grievance fell down, but he did not dare.
The sound he made made him look more and more pitiful.
It's just that the only man present was Prince Duan. At this moment, he was not interested in Li Xiangyi's appearance, and no one cared about her pretty and pitiful appearance.
"Miss Li, are these things true?" The queen handed the book to the chamberlain, who then sent it to Li Xiangyi.
Li Xiangyi took it with trembling hands. When he saw the witnesses and testimonies clearly, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
"The Queen Mother, my servant... I don't know this
In fact, my daughter-in-law doesn’t know about these things, the so-called mutual respect... I don’t even know what my cousin said. My cousin is just a cousin. Over the years, my uncle has taken great care of my daughter-in-law’s family. If anything is good, I will give it to my daughter-in-law’s family.
, I thought they were doing this for the sake of my deceased mother."
Li Xiangyi burst into tears and was heartbroken: "Father... would never agree to such a thing for my cousin, let alone give him hope. When my mother was still alive, there was such a saying, but later on
Father said that this matter has been made clear and the two families are not suitable."
"As for what happened after the meeting, I really don't know. My father made the decision about my daughter's marriage. Occasionally, my father took my daughter on trips, and my father was always there. I don't know what the so-called meeting means.
My father would never do such a thing." Li Xiangyi said firmly with tears in his eyes.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, is there any misunderstanding here? My daughter's father has always been honest and there is absolutely no way he would do such a thing."
As he spoke, he kowtowed three times to the Queen Mother and Queen above. After three times, his fair and tender forehead immediately became red and swollen.
Sure enough, this was another one that had been planned for a long time!
Yu Xijiao's long eyelashes trembled slightly. As an observer, she still had no right to speak, but at this time she only needed to listen.
After a night of thinking, each of them found the explanation that was most beneficial to them.
This one pushed her father out. Everything was done by her father. She knew nothing and was still the most innocent and innocent.
"Did your father do it?" the queen asked thoughtfully.
"No...it's not my father. My father would not do such a thing. Queen Mother, please have someone check it out carefully. Check it out again. It is impossible for my daughter's father to do such a shameless thing. My father has been doing this since he was a child.
He taught his daughters to pay attention to their reputation, and said that a girl’s reputation is the most important and must not have any flaws.”
