"You're talking nonsense..." Murong Xue glanced at Feng Jian and felt a little panicked, fearing that Feng Mingwei really had evidence in her hands.
However, the people who came out of the palace with her that day were all dead, so it was impossible for Feng Mingwei to find any evidence.
Thinking like this, Murong Xue quickly calmed down and straightened her back, as if she was really innocent. "If you have evidence, show it. Don't talk nonsense. Without evidence, it is slandering this princess."
Emperor Beiwu sat next to the Queen Mother, his face visibly cold, "Xiaojiu, shut up!!"
Before Feng Mingwei could produce evidence, he scolded his daughter in a cold voice.
"Father..." Murong Xue was unconvinced and turned back to her biological father and stamped her feet, "Xiao Jiu is your daughter, why do you always favor Feng Mingwei!!!"
Concubine Shu was afraid that her daughter would offend the emperor, so she quickly stopped her and said, "Xue'er, shut up."
Feng Mingwei had no intention of letting Murong Xue go, "Father, the ninth princess left the palace privately. Not only did my eldest brother fail to catch the scorpion master, but she was also poisoned by scorpion poison. If my eldest brother hadn't sent someone to send her back, she would
I was afraid that I would have died suddenly."
"What did the Ninth Princess do when she left the palace? We will investigate carefully later. First, she told her that her life was in danger a few days ago. In Yonghe Palace, Grandfather and Father, you said that when the Ninth Princess recovers, she will be punished for her faults.
.”
"I just want to know, has Father punished the Ninth Princess?"
"Also, Concubine Shu was also present at the time. She kept saying that she would teach the Ninth Princess well. Have you taught her?"
Emperor Beiwu: "..."
Concubine Shu: "..."
Murong Xue's eyes were so angry that even a foot thick of powder could not cover the angry veins on her neck, "Feng Mingwei, how dare you instigate Father to punish me?!"
Feng Mingwei sneered, "Humph, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps."
"Why, you don't need to be punished if you do something wrong. If I, the princess, speak a little louder, it will be a violation of the Queen Mother, which is an unpardonable crime?!"
"As the saying goes, if a prince breaks the law, the common people will be guilty as well."
"Even if you are the apple of my father's eye, can you be lawless and be forgiven for killing people and setting fires?!"
Just now the Queen Mother said that she was lawless, Feng Mingwei turned around and pointed out Murong Xue's various faults.
It is reasonable and well-founded, compared to Murong Xue who left the palace privately as a princess, hindered the investigation of the case in Dali Temple, and let go of the scorpion breeder who harmed the people.
Feng Mingwei defended her shortcomings, and when she was angry and shouted at the Queen Mother, what did it mean?
If the Queen Mother dares to punish her today, then everyone present will not be able to have an easy time.
Everyone was immediately shocked. The woman who had screamed fiercely just now was as if she was mute and did not dare to breathe.
Murong Xue was about to burst into tears, "Feng Mingwei, you are bullying others. Your elder brother Feng Jian is useless on his own and can't catch the criminal. What does it have to do with this princess?! You can't even think of shifting the blame to this princess."
Feng Mingwei sneered, "Then what are you doing out of the palace? As a princess, you dare to run out of the capital and go to a ruined temple in the wilderness with only a few maids and chamberlains who don't know martial arts. Don't say you are going for a walk.
"
"I..." Murong Xue was speechless and felt a chill rising from the sky.
Emperor Beiwu didn't ask her what she was doing when she left the palace.
After so many days, she thought her father would not pursue the matter any further.
So there is no reason to prevaricate in advance.
"Oh, I can't tell you! You still don't admit that you are going after my eldest brother. You have a love potion on your body, and you want to be the king." Feng Mingwei didn't give her much time to think about excuses, and immediately sneered.
Fight back.
Feng Jian was still in the main hall, and Murong Xue was just a teenage girl no matter what. When she was told that the overlord was trying to force her on him, she couldn't bear it in terms of face, so her face suddenly turned red and she said, "I don't look down on your elder brother.
"
"Then you must explain clearly why you took the love potion to the ruined temple where my elder brother is."
"That's enough! Princess Lie, please don't bully me too much." Seeing that her daughter was no match for Feng Mingwei, Concubine Shu rushed over to help, "Don't even think about ruining the reputation of the Ninth Princess again. Don't think that your eldest brother is a piece of cake. I
His daughter is a golden branch and jade leaf, Feng Jian is not worthy of him."
Feng Mingwei sneered and looked at Emperor Beiwu, "Father, what do you say?!"
"It concerns the innocence of the Ninth Princess. I think this matter should be investigated thoroughly."
Emperor Beiwu's eyes darkened, "Do you really have evidence in your hand that the Ninth Princess wants to drug Feng Jian?"
Feng Mingwei and Feng Jian looked at each other, and Feng Jian said: "Go back to the emperor, I have evidence."
Hearing this, Concubine Shu and Murong Xue were a little panicked, but they were still struggling, "If you have evidence, bring it out and don't talk nonsense."
Feng Jian placed Xiao Yu on the chair next to her, and Feng Mingwei came over to check the wound on her knee.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Feng Jian cupped his hands with a cold expression, then went out and ordered, "Bring this person up."
Not long after, Liuguang brought in two little palace ladies.
"My slaves Qingdong and Qingyu come to see the Emperor, masters."
Qingxue and Qingyu are the personal maids of Qingxue Palace and Murong Xue.
We happened to accompany her out of the palace that day.
Murong Xue looked at the two of them, her face changed drastically, "You... you are not dead?"
Feng Jian said: "Your Majesty, the nine princesses, including the nine princesses, were bitten by poisonous scorpions released by the scorpion keeper. There were twelve people in total. I brought an antidote pill to each of them, so I gave one to each of them.
"
"I thought that everyone except the Ninth Princess was dead, so I asked someone to escort the Ninth Princess back to the palace. But then Wei'er arrived. She checked the pulses of several people and found that the two palace ladies were still alive, so she rescued them.
they."
"Originally, I planned to send them back to the palace, but the two of them were unwilling to return. As a condition, they told me the truth about that day."
"Your Majesty, please listen to what they have to say!"
Feng Jian didn't say much, just stated what happened at that time.
The faces of the two palace maids were full of fear, "Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
As a palace maid, refusing to return to the palace before she is dead is a capital offense.
Emperor Beiwu had already anticipated the result, but he was unable to get off the horse. He had to interrogate him. He said with an ugly face: "To tell you the truth, why did the ninth princess leave the palace that day?!"
"Father."
"emperor."
Concubine Shu and Murong Xue stopped Emperor Beiwu in unison.
Emperor Beiwu said angrily: "Shut up!"
Everyone was startled, and the two palace maids said in horror:
"The Ninth Princess has always liked Mr. Feng. In the study room of Qingxue Palace, the princess also collected many portraits of Mr. Feng."
"The Ninth Princess heard that Young Master Feng and Miss Xiao were getting married, so she was unwilling to go to Concubine Shu to find a way. Concubine Shu also asked Princess Lie to ask her to go to the emperor to take back the imperial edict for their marriage."
Concubine Shu's eyes were bloodshot and she said angrily: "Shut up, what benefits has the Feng family given you? How dare you openly slander me and the Ninth Princess?"
Feng Mingwei sneered: "My dear Concubine Shu, are you not afraid of flashing your tongue when you lie? On the day when I entered the palace to pick up Millennium Ginseng from the Royal Pharmacy, you found an excuse to call me over. What did you say at that time?
Wait? Have you forgotten? Do you need me, the princess, to help you recall?!"
Concubine Shu choked up and looked at Emperor Beiwu in fear, "Your Majesty... I remembered it. I did find Princess Lie that day. Xue'er was not young anymore. I wanted to choose a consort for her. Look.
Mr. Zhu Feng is indeed good..."
"Haha, Concubine Shu, doesn't your face hurt? Just now you said that my eldest brother is not worthy of your golden princess daughter."
Concubine Shu's face turned purple, as if she had been slapped several times.
