The emperor issued an imperial edict and announced the news to the public in the morning meeting the next day.
The whole court was shocked, this was something that was expected, so when Fengcheng came back, his face was very ugly.
Wuming, who was following Fengcheng, came back with Fengcheng.
After seeing Feng Hongluan, he nodded to Feng Hongluan and followed Fengcheng into the study.
Feng Hongluan didn't want to disturb her father, so she waited for a cup of tea at the door when she saw Wumingchen retreating with a face on his face.
Seeing Feng Hongluan waiting at the door of the study, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why are you waiting here, Princess? The autumn wind is very cold, don't get caught by the wind and cold."
Feng Hongluan ignored all this and glanced at the study: "How is my father?"
Wuming sighed: "I am depressed. The general is overqualified and underutilized. Naturally, I feel aggrieved. Not only me, but the entire court feels that the general is not worthy of him. However, the emperor has such eloquent words that no one dares to resist."
Feng Hongluan naturally knows this.
"You have been visiting the house a lot recently. My father values you very much. With you to guide him, he will feel better."
Wuming shook his head: "I'm afraid the general will feel even more uncomfortable when he sees me."
"How to say?"
"The emperor went to court early and appointed the general as the right minister, took back the military power from the general, and handed all those military powers to me."
Wuming's face looked very complicated: "I have no intention of replacing the general. The emperor did this clearly with the intention of driving a wedge between me and the general, but it put me in a dilemma. I am not a human being inside and outside."
The emperor was really exhausted: "My father is an enlightened man and will not get angry with you. He naturally knows that this is the emperor's idea and has nothing to do with you."
"But..." Wu Ming said in embarrassment, "I always feel that I can't face the general. Although I don't want to win the general's love, but now that I have taken over the general's position, I always feel very uneasy."
Wuming is a person who cares about gratitude and is grateful to her father. Feng Hongluan admires Wuming very much.
He comforted: "Fight well and serve the country. The emperor has the final say on everything in the court. None of us can control it. Don't think too much about it."
"Thank you, Princess."
Wuming responded, looking at Feng Hongluan, as if he was about to speak but hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Hongluan asked, knowing that he had something to say.
Wuming hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke: "The general is in a bad mood today. If he keeps feeling depressed all day long, he might break his body. I think there might be someone who can comfort the general and make him feel better."
Suddenly, she thought of the day when Wuming boldly came to tell her that if the time came, she should find a house for her father to fill in. Intuition, what Wuming was about to say was related to the matter of filling up the house.
really.
"To be honest with the princess, the general was actually in love with a woman when he was in the military camp earlier. This time he returned to Beijing and took that woman with him. He was just afraid that the princess would not agree, so he has been kept in captivity outside the palace."
"woman?"
"Yes, the family affairs are clean and tidy. She is a little younger than the general, but she is very considerate. In the military camp, the general's food and daily life are all taken care of by that woman."
Feng Hongluan's eyebrows tightened. There were only three types of women in the military camp. One was military prostitutes. They were all the daughters of guilty ministers. They were given to generals as a way to vent their anger. However, the Hong Dynasty had never set up rules for military prostitute camps because they were afraid that everyone would be addicted to women.
Sex, wasted training.
The other type is family members, and only soldiers and above can bring their family members with them.
There is also a type of women who specialize in mending soldiers' armor and preparing medicine for injured soldiers. They are usually village girls and women gathered from villages near the camp.
I don't know what kind of person her father is interested in.
"Wu Ming, what kind of person is that person?"
She asked, it would be good if she could really give her father some comfort during such a difficult time, but she always felt a little repulsive towards this strange woman in her heart. She didn't know where this repulsion came from, maybe it was because of Hua Sanniang
Because of that.
Unknowingly, Jin Ran had such a deep affection for Hua Sanniang.
Wuming naturally didn't notice her subtle rejection and questioning.
He said truthfully: "She is a village girl from a village near our camp. She is twenty-six years old. She is an old girl. She has studied for a few years. She is not bad at school and is smart and dexterous."
Twenty-six, at this age, her father can be the father of this woman.
Feng Hongluan was even more repelled in her heart: "In this extraordinary period, it is better not to bring people in, lest people outside who don't know about it make irresponsible remarks. Even if it is considered a concubine, it cannot be taken at such a time.
If she hadn't married into the family, this woman would serve my father personally, which is not just what she says, but what she says."
Wuming looked at Feng Hongluan's attitude and just smiled slightly: "It's Wuming who didn't think carefully. Wuming just wanted the general to be by his side to comfort him in the future, which would make things easier."
"Don't worry, I will take up this responsibility. Wuming, where does that woman live now?"
"The third courtyard on Ziyuan Lane in the east of the city."
Ziyuan Lane, the price of that place is not cheap. Daddy actually went out of his way to give such a good place to a woman. It seems that in Daddy's heart, this woman really has some weight!
Feng Hongluan nodded calmly: "I understand, thank you!"
"Princess, you're welcome. The Ministry of War has some matters to deal with. I'd like to go over and deal with them. General, I'd like to trouble you, Princess."
Feng Hongluan smiled slightly: "Well, walk slowly, Yang Yun, see off the guests."
"Yes, miss!"
Watching Wuming go out, Feng Hongluan suddenly called out to him: "Wuming."
"What's wrong?"
He turned around, and at a certain moment, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
That feeling of familiarity hit Feng Hongluan's heart instantly, but because she couldn't remember why this turn and this response were so familiar, she gave up and just said: "There is no need to make a fuss about my father's birthday.
I don’t think he’s in the mood either, and the ministers are probably preparing for the hunting in the palace in the next few days, so I’m afraid they won’t be able to take care of me, Feng Mansion.”
Nowadays, Feng Mansion has lost its former splendor. A right-hand prime minister, at best, is a high-ranking official, but at worst, he is just an idle post.
Among those who were originally on the banquet list, there were also a few people who did not have close contact with each other or even had some quarrels with each other. If the people who were on the banquet list were to ridicule her father, then her father would have to die in pain.
After careful consideration, this birthday was really not the right time to celebrate it as a family. Her father probably didn't have the intention to greet other people.
Wuming was obviously a little regretful: "Okay! Then, I will only bring some of the general's former subordinates to celebrate the general's birthday."
"Well, tell them and never say anything about my father's promotion."
"Yes, Princess, I will let you know."
"Excuse me, Yang Yun, please send the unknown general out."
"Princess, farewell."
"Farewell!"
After Wuming left, Feng Hongluan stood in Weifeng Pavilion for a moment, and finally returned to Hongyan Pavilion.
She knew that nothing she could say now could ease the pain in her father's heart.
*
When the sky was getting dark, I thought about how such a loud thunder could occur in the depths of autumn. Feng Hongluan stood at the window, looking at a flash of lightning in the western sky, with a solemn expression.
Yang Yun brought the cloak over and put it on her body: "Be careful of getting cold, Princess."
"The prince hasn't come back yet?"
"Well, not yet!"
"It's going to rain."
"Liu'er is following the prince, so he won't get cold. Princess, just don't worry. But it's strange, it's this season, and there is still such a thunderstorm. We heard an old lady say that in their hometown,
Qiurei poison, if you hit it, someone will definitely die."
After following Feng Hongluan, although Yang Yun was still cautious in temperament, she also talked a little more. Unlike in the palace, she was cautious everywhere and did not dare to say a word for fear of being scolded and punished.
"Haha!" Feng Hongluan smiled, just listening.
At the door, a girl suddenly stumbled in: "Miss, it's not good."
"What's wrong?"
"Miss Jixiang, it's gone."
Feng Hongluan's eyebrows only raised slightly, and she quickly calmed down: "Yeah, I understand, let's go out."
Feng Hongluan was unexpectedly calm, which made the maid unable to react at once. The person who died was her sister. Although she was not a biological sister, the sisters in Surrey had a good relationship. The whole mansion knew that these were not biological sisters but better than biological sisters.
.
Why, now, when she heard that someone was dead, Feng Hongluan just raised her eyebrows, her face was indifferent to the point of being heartless.
"Why, is there anything else?"
Seeing that the other party was stunned in place, Feng Hongluan said coldly.
The girl realized what she was doing and hurriedly retreated. It seemed that the family secretly rumored that the relationship between the legitimate daughter and the foster daughter had fallen apart, and it was true.
Otherwise, how could he be so calm and indifferent even when the other party is dead!
As soon as the maid went out, Feng Hongluan's cold lips curled up into a smile, and she looked at Yang Yun: "It seems that what the old nanny said is right. Instruct everyone who has been close to Shuangfei Pavilion to put away all their clothes."
Throw them all into the courtyard of Shuangfei Pavilion, take a bath and purify yourself, and instruct the woodshed to find a pile of dry firewood. Before the rain starts, pile it into Shuangfei Pavilion and burn everything there.
"Yes, Princess!" Yang Yun actually wanted to ask, don't you need a branch general?
But when the words came to her lips, she still swallowed them back. Her master was the princess, and she would do whatever the princess ordered, no matter what.
Yang Yun went out to do errands, while Feng Hongluan was still standing at the window, watching the lightning in the sky.
All grudges and grudges must be repaid by cause and effect. Back then, He Jixiang and Ling Che burned her alive. Now, she returned the fire to them intact.
It was just that Ling Che died so easily, but the fun of torturing He Jixiang could be regarded as comforting the regret that Ling Che died so easily.
Deep down in my heart, I am as calm as the surface of a lake, without even a ripple.
At that time, Lang came riding a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums.
Back then, the thread was in the hands of a loving mother and the clothes on the body of a wanderer.
Back then, when my sister heard that my sister was coming, she took care of her makeup.
Now the world of mortals has been rolling for decades, the yin and yang are separated, the grudges are over, and it is best if we never see each other again.
Revenge and hatred have all been avenged. He Jixiang is dead, Ling Che is dead, Ling's mother is dead, Dong Shi is dead, and those damned people are all dead.
The world was originally pure, and her world gradually became purer.
When the fire started burning, she heard the crackling sound of the flames and the scorching heat waves from some distance away. As the autumn wind carried the burned leaves flying past her, she stretched out her hand to intercept a piece of fire that had been burned to ashes.
Before I could hold on tightly, the dead leaves fell into pieces and scattered from between my fingers.
*
The fire burned for half an hour and razed the entire Shuangfei Pavilion to the ground, leaving only four dark walls and a few burned-out dead trees. Two of them were He Jixiang's favorites.
of purple magnolia.
Being buried with her could be regarded as the greatest kindness Feng Hongluan had shown her.
When Fengcheng and Miao's mother arrived, they saw the ashes everywhere. They fell to the ground and trembled their lips: "What, what's going on?"
Feng Hongluan was surprisingly calm and stepped forward to help Fengcheng: "Sister is dead."
"You..." Fengcheng looked at Feng Hongluan like this, and suddenly thought of the indifference in Feng Hongluan's eyes when He Jixiang was abducted and made a naked leader a long time ago, and his reputation was ruined. He thought he was mistaken at the time.
But now, I saw the same indifferent and cold expression on Feng Hongluan's face.
"Dad, the imperial physician once said that after death, poisonous gas is most likely to spread, so it must be burned immediately."
"Why don't you discuss it with me, Hong Luan, this is your sister!"
Maple City was obviously a little sad.
Feng Hongluan smiled lightly: "I don't have that kind of dirty sister!"
"You..." Fengcheng's eyes were full of anger, "What did you say?"
"I said, I don't have that kind of dirty sister. She was shameless when she was alive. After she died, she turned into ashes and disappeared into thin air. It was also advantageous for her."
"Pa!" A slap hit Feng Hongluan hard on the face.
Everyone was shocked, including Fengcheng himself, who looked stupidly at his raised iron arm, and then looked at Feng Hongluan's red and swollen face. He was stunned and speechless for a long time, and seemed to not believe himself.
He would do such a harming thing to Feng Hongluan.
Reach out to comfort.
Feng Hongluan sneered and ran away: "Dad, since I was a child, I have been thinking about who is your biological child. Now, I know."
After Feng Hongluan finished speaking, two tears lingered stubbornly in her eyes, but they did not fall. Her eyes were so cold that it made her whole body shiver.
After touching his face and looking at the Hongyan Pavilion that was burned to ashes, Feng Hongluan walked back without looking back: "He Jixiang, you deserve to die."
"You...you...you..." Fengcheng pressed his chest, seeming to be very angry at Feng Hongluan for being so unfilial and unkind. How could she have known that Feng Hongluan's face was facing away from her?
It is full of painful affection.
Hong Yan said that the only way to get the emperor to use her father was to let his father sever ties with them.
Then, Hongyan will arrange the next steps.
She struggled every step of the way to hurt her father, but how could she look at the emperor cold-shouldering her father like this because of her relationship with Hong Yan.
Once the relationship between father and daughter breaks down, or even severs the relationship, the emperor will probably let go of his suspicions and use her father again.
It was a desperate move. The emperor was very suspicious. Besides, he had many capable soldiers and soldiers, so it was impossible to use her father just because he had severed ties with the Jin Palace.
But Hong Yan said that he would arrange the next step.
When he said this, a fierce light burst out from his eyes, Feng Hongluan believed Hong Yan.
She followed Hong Yan's plan in everything.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to hurt her father's heart.
He Jixiang's death may have been a fake death. He Jixiang's illness was not yet fatal, but she knew that this was an opportunity she could take advantage of.
Once He Jixiang was burned on his own initiative without reporting the matter, she had already expected such a result.
It was just that slap, which was unexpected. However, without that slap, it might not be real. Now, the spies in the house probably went back to report something.
Breaking up is just the first step, the chess pieces are so auspicious.
There is a second step in the breakup. The chess piece is the woman Fengcheng raised outside the house.
*
Fengcheng didn't expect that Lu Ying would let Feng Hongluan find him five days after He Jixiang's death.
Because of what happened to He Jixiang, Fengcheng was once angry with Feng Hongluan and punished him. Only extremely evil people would be punished. Unexpectedly, Feng Hongluan even refused to discuss with him and gave He Jixiang such a cruel ending. .
The indifference in Feng Hongluan's eyes was completely different from that of ordinary people. It was so strange that he couldn't believe it.
Although he regretted that slap, he was still annoyed when he thought of Feng Hongluan's attitude and could not easily forgive him.
He should have sensed Feng Hongluan's hostility toward He Jixiang, but he didn't expect Feng Hongluan to hide it so well.
He never thought that his treating He Jixiang as his own would make Feng Hongluan so jealous.
Growing up, He Jixiang had the best food and drink expenses despite being a foster lady, but he did not live a happy life.
Feng Hongluan, on the other hand, was so pampered that He Jixiang always let her go first in everything, but he got used to her temperament.
He Jixiang had robbed Ling Che before, but that was all in the past. Ling Che was also at fault. There was no overnight feud between the sisters. How could he have imagined that Feng Hongluan hated He Jixiang so much that she wanted to do it? It will be fun to crush He Jixiang's bones and raise his ashes.
He regretted that he should have doted on Feng Hongluan and raised Feng Hongluan with such a bad heart.
He hated, hated himself for being sorry for his dead brother and failing to save the last hope of his brother's lineage.
He also felt pain, pain that Han Huiru died early, that his daughter was not taken care of by her mother, and that he had taught her bad things.
And he also didn't understand, when did Hong Luan start to look so strange?
He had mixed feelings, and everything had not gone well recently, and he was already quite tired. Unexpectedly, at ten o'clock in the morning, Lao Wang from the foreign government came to report in a hurry, saying that Feng Hongluan had found Lu Ying and was making trouble in the garden and bullying Lu Ying. Ying.
Fengcheng didn't dare to waste a moment and hurried to Ziyuan Lane.
When he pushed the door open and saw a scene, he almost got angry and walked away.
Lu Ying's thin body was wet, and she was kneeling on the hard floor. She was standing in front of Lu Ying arrogantly, and she was coldly scolding Lu Ying for being a shameless, stinky prostitute.
"Presumptuous!" Fengcheng felt distressed and stepped forward to hug Lu Ying. He took off his coat and covered Lu Ying's body.
Although Feng Hongluan did this move just to use Lu Yinglai to "break up" with Fengcheng, it also made Feng Hongluan feel uncomfortable in her heart.
Such tenderness should originally belong to her mother.
I don't know why, when Hua Sanniang said she was pregnant with her father's child, she was more happy than disgusted, but she felt disgust in her bones for this Lu Ying.
She is really good-looking, as Wuming said, slim and petite, with tender and smooth skin.
She has beautiful and regular facial features. She is twenty-six years old, which is a good time. She is wearing a sapphire blue dress, and the hem of the skirt is trailing on the spotless ground. If you don't know, you think she is a young lady or lady from a certain family. Who would have thought that she is a villager?
Aunt?
But those rough hands looked like those of people who had gone through a lot of hardships.
The timid look in her eyes that didn't dare to resist made her look a bit like a young daughter-in-law.
But no matter how peaceful and cute she looked, Feng Hongluan hated her tightness from the bottom of her heart.
Perhaps, she saw the shadow of someone in her body.
Mrs. Dong, when she entered Feng's family, wasn't she so cautious, so nervous, trying to please people at the top but being humble at the bottom, looking like a little daughter-in-law?
Fengcheng's defense of Lu Ying also made Feng Hongluan see how her father defended and excused her grandmother when she made things difficult for Dong.
I hate this woman because Feng Hongluan will not believe that a twenty-six-year-old young woman is with a martial artist who is about to be her father because of love.
This woman must have something up her sleeve.
Dong's goal is glory and wealth, and this woman's goal is nothing more than this.
Feng Hongluan even looked down upon her. When he tortured her, even though he said it was to make Fengcheng angry, he showed no mercy.
She hated the Dong family, and naturally, she also hated the second generation of the Dong family in front of her.
——Digression——
The update is late. Sorry, the daily update will be 8000 or 10000 starting tomorrow. I feel dizzy writing it. I have been running around everywhere these days and don’t know what to think in my mind. I’ll finish it quickly and start a new article. Maybe
The ending has begun, and it should be finished after the year! Thank you all for your patience, thank you!
