The guards guarding the palace gate were trembling with fear, feeling that something big was going to happen.
First, the seventh princess got off the carriage in tears, wiped her tears and rushed into the palace gate with a few people. The guard guarding the gate saw that it was the seventh princess and did not dare to step forward to stop her.
Then came the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Zhongshan. The expressions of these two looked wrong. In the past, the good-tempered Prince of Zhongshan also had a dark look on his face.
Looking at the palace maids and nuns being escorted by the guards at the back, I feel like they are the people around the seventh princess.
Glancing at Prince Qi who was standing aside, the two guards also did not dare to stop them. They watched them enter the palace, and the clever ones had already run in to report.
The guards at the front palace gate did not dare to stop him, and the chamberlain at the back palace gate also did not dare to say anything.
Looking at the looks of these masters, it seems that something big is going to happen. Everyone is doing things cautiously, for fear that the matter will accidentally affect them.
The seventh princess went to the empress to cry, and Feng Yu and Feng Jingze went to the imperial study.
The emperor was discussing matters with the two prime ministers in the imperial study. Feng Jingze lifted his robe and knelt down in front of the steps in front of the imperial study. He said loudly: "Please make the decision for me, the emperor."
Feng Yu stood to the side with a gloomy face and his hands behind his back, not in a hurry to leave.
A chamberlain had seen this scene and hurriedly went in to report. After a while, Prime Minister Yu hurried out and asked questions on behalf of the emperor.
"Prince Zhongshan, what does this mean?"
"Please ask your Majesty to redress my grievance." Prince Zhongshan's eyes turned red when he thought of his grievances, and his voice choked up.
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, why do you need to kneel down here?" Yu Xiang persuaded him kindly.
This is really a big deal. The always gentle Prince Zhongshan and Prince Qi are different. Looking at Prince Qi who is standing on the side with a sinking face, Yu Xiang feels that Prince Zhongshan should be more talkative.
"Please, Your Majesty, punish the Seventh Princess. She intended to murder Wei Chen and the clan brother, and even... she plotted against Wei Chen and the clan brother at Princess Changping's house."
Prince Zhongshan didn't stand up in a hurry and said with great sadness and anger.
The Prime Minister was panicked. The Seventh Princess was the daughter of the Queen. How could this matter have anything to do with the Seventh Princess? There had just been a fight with the Sixth Princess before. Since she was the Queen's legitimate daughter, the matter was suppressed in the end.
The princess's face was seriously injured. She has been recovering in the palace recently and hasn't seen anyone for a while.
However, the seventh princess was not seriously injured. She also said that her newly acquired house needed to be tidied up. She was pressed for time and did not pressure her. Yuxiang knew this.
"The seventh princess has been repairing and reorganizing the house these days. Is there... any misunderstanding here?" Yu Xiang said tactfully.
"Jade Prime Minister, if there is any misunderstanding about this matter, Wei Chen will really be wronged and die!" Prince Zhongshan fell to the ground and burst into tears. "Wei Chen has been cautious since he entered the capital, for fear of doing something wrong.
If something goes wrong, I know that I have to do my duty, but I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will be assassinated again and lose my life, which will also damage the emperor's reputation for kindness."
Prime Minister Jade had a severe headache and wanted to find a helper to persuade the Prince of Zhongshan. The Prince of Zhongshan cried loudly in front of the imperial study room. Tomorrow, the court was full of rumors about his involvement in the matter.
Prince Zhongshan has always been docile, is he really angry?
The Seventh Princess has always been pampered, and Prime Minister Yu knew that in this situation, a grown man like the Crown Prince of Zhongshan could cry like this, and it was too much to bully others.
The prince of Qi beside him smiled lazily, and when his eyes met the jade face, his smile became colder and colder.
"Prince Zhongshan, if you have anything to say, go in and tell the emperor." Yu Xiang calmed down. It was impossible for him to help him persuade Prince Zhongshan, but he also couldn't let Prince Zhongshan cry here.
No matter how decent it is, if you don't say it for a while, it will cause trouble in the whole city.
The affairs of the King of Qi and the King of Zhongshan were all major events.
"Come here, help the Prince of Zhongshan stand up." Yu Fang said decisively, and two chamberlains came over and helped the Prince of Zhongshan up.
"The Emperor is already waiting inside. If anything happens, the Emperor will definitely make the decision for you." Yu Xiang felt that it was better not to have anything to do with Feng Yu. This person might explode at some point, so it would be best if he
Just a bystander.
The prince of Zhongshan did not struggle. He was helped up by the chamberlain and wiped two tears fiercely.
The group of people entered the Imperial Study Room, where the emperor behind the dragon table was sunken and his brows were furrowed.
As soon as Prince Zhongshan entered the door, he knelt down in front of the emperor with a thud and said loudly: "Your Majesty, help me."
Feng Yu came out from behind him and saluted the emperor in the middle. The emperor waved his hand to signal him to excuse himself.
Feng Yu lazily walked to the chair and sat down, but said nothing.
"Prince Zhongshan, what happened?" The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart with all his strength. His voice was not high, but it was very dignified. On the surface, he looked calm, but in fact, he was already furious.
Originally, the matter was almost settled at this moment, and I was about to take a break to listen to Qin Zhenren.
"Your Majesty, the seventh princess is plotting against me." Prince Zhongshan said aggrievedly, pointing directly at Feng Ningshuang.
Then he told what happened. First, he and Feng Yu were going to go fishing outside the city. This was originally agreed upon, and many people knew about it. Later, he found someone inquiring about them outside the city. When he saw it,
You know that the plot is irregular, and the two of them cannot go out for safety reasons.
I just want to go fishing in the aristocratic family in the city. Fishing in the river of the aristocratic family is mainly for safety. But in ordinary aristocratic families, people may fish from time to time. There are not necessarily many fish in the river. Just two people can do it.
It is very natural to think of the current Princess Changping Mansion.
It had been empty for several months, and no one would go fishing there. The water was running water, so there would be no shortage of fish, so I went to Princess Changping's house.
What happened next was suspicious. First, the seventh princess took them around for a long time before they found a place. They then placed him under a tree that was said to have had half of its branches cut off. Then he sat down and fished for a while.
, the branch above fell down and hit Feng Jingze on the head.
The messy leaves, tiny particles, and possibly small insects made him feel uncomfortable and itchy all over his body. The steward of the Princess Mansion came out and took him to a guest room, but there was clearly warm water in the guest room. It seemed that there was a woman there.
In the bath.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why the seventh princess plotted against me and why I wanted to harm me. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can interrogate a few people. They were all with the seventh princess and framed me together."
Feng Jingze pointed out angrily.
Regardless of the reason for catching the person, the Seventh Princess now has three people in his hands.
There were some things that Feng Jingze did not directly say that Feng Ningshuang had sent a palace maid to seduce him. This was originally intended to hide things from others. The emperor would definitely know if he inquired.
If he told it and it was found out, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor...
People were escorted in and knelt outside.
The emperor nodded gloomily and called the chamberlain beside him to go out and inquire.
The two maids and a nun were so frightened that they lost their wits, especially the maid who was pulled in and thrown next to the bathtub. Her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, her whole body was trembling, and her eyes were full of despair.
Having lived in the palace for a long time and being the confidant of the Seventh Princess, how could he not understand that there is a dead end in front of him?
No matter whether she was caught or not, if she appeared disheveled by the bathtub, she would definitely end up in the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion if she still had a way to survive.
If something like this happened, she would not be able to survive even if she entered the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.
Furthermore, she is the confidant of the Seventh Princess. Can the Queen and the Seventh Princess allow her to enter the Zhongshan Palace alive?
Horizontal is also death, vertical is also death,
When she was arrested all the way in, she saw from a distance the Seventh Princess crying in front of her as she entered the palace, with despair in her eyes. The Seventh Princess had no intention of looking back and really wanted to give up on her.
She couldn't think of any way to survive.
A guard who had just come here whispered in her ear that if she wanted to die more happily, she should tell the truth, otherwise... Prince Qi's Mansion had its own method of death by skinning and cramping.
Thinking of the notoriety of Prince Qi, the palace maid wished she could die right now.
There is no way to survive. She just wants to die happily without exposing the Seventh Princess's past secrets. If she dies on this one thing, the Seventh Princess will definitely take into account the other secrets she helped protect...
Thinking about it this way, this palace maid really had something to say. The other two were still trembling and did not dare to say anything, but she did say that she took the matter on herself and only wanted a quick death.
After listening to the words of the palace maid, the chamberlain was also panicked. It was not just about the Prince of Zhongshan, but also about the Prince of Qi. No wonder Prince Qi had a gloomy face, and the whole person made people feel terrified. This
One of them has a bad reputation in the palace. Even the Seventh Princess may not be kind to this matter.
The chamberlain turned around and entered the imperial study. He glanced at the emperor secretly and was unable to speak for a moment.
"What exactly is going on? Let me tell you exactly what happened." The emperor said with a cold tone.
"Your Majesty, this matter... I don't know if this is true." The servant lowered his head uneasily. He actually preferred to discuss this with the Emperor in advance.
If you say this now, is it really okay?
"Say." The emperor said in a cold and dignified voice.
"Yes...I heard that it has something to do with the Seventh Princess. The palace maid who appeared by the bathtub said...this matter may have something to do with Miss Yu San from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion..."
The chamberlain gritted his teeth and stammered. He felt the cold gaze from the right side and almost cried. Is this really something that he, a chamberlain, can report in public?
The emperor's heart skipped a beat and he frowned. Why did this matter involve Yu Xijiao? It was equivalent to involving Feng Yu. He felt inexplicably irritated. He used to think that Feng Ningshuang was very gentle and sensible, but now he suddenly felt that
This seventh daughter needs to be well disciplined.
We just caused trouble, but now we are causing trouble again?
Having said this, it was no longer necessary to say it. The emperor waved his hand and all the extra servants withdrew, leaving only a few key people behind, before he said: "Say it!"
