Chapter 725: The Mystery of Euphemism's Background

I didn't expect Puyang Palace to use the emperor to suppress Shen Feng's forces, which was unexpected, but this can't negate the move to withdraw from the capital, even if Shen Feng didn't withdraw from the capital, Puyang Palace would still use the emperor, and take advantage of Shen Feng's reputation to weaken the power of Tiance Mansion, and continue to add charges to push Tiance Mansion into the name of rebellion, this trick is really clever, if Shen Feng doesn't want to come up with a way to curb it, it will only make the rumors become true. .

At the moment, I can't think about other things, I just want to go to the capital to ask clearly, Liu Zongli is locked up in the Imperial History Terrace, and the Imperial Historian is in charge of the trial and the Criminal Department is supervising the trial.

After entering the capital, he went straight to the Yushitai, there are still some interpersonal relationships in the Yushitai, it is not difficult to meet Liu Zongli, as for Qu Chuxian and the Tang family, they can only wait for another day to visit.

In prison

"Shen Feng, why are you here!"

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu!!" I saw Liu Zongli in prison, Liu Zongli was dressed in prison clothes, his hair was scattered, and his hands, which were originally quite white, were already covered with dirt, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but feel guilty: "It's me who didn't think about it and affected you." ”

Liu Zongli still smiled and said: "It's okay, my body is not so bad that I can't bear this bit of suffering, and besides, there are a few old friends of mine here, it won't be boring." ”

"Uncle Liu, I have a general understanding of your situation, I will definitely send you out, I have a more important matter when I come today!" Shen Feng turned to say: "I heard that Wanci had an accident, she didn't send the nurse's ashes back, how could she be missing!?"

Liu Zongli's face changed, as if he wanted to stop talking, and then made up his mind, and said sadly: "I can't hide it from you anymore, I was afraid that you would be too impulsive before." ”

Shen Feng became more and more panicked, and said anxiously: "Isn't it more than half a year since then, Uncle Liu, you should have told me earlier." ”

"It wasn't the right time, alas!" Liu Zongli sighed: "Before I said that I sent the ashes of the nurse home, I did not send the ashes of the nurse, and the nurse did not die of the epidemic, on the same day"

After listening to Liu Zongli's talk about the things of the day, Shen Feng was shocked and said: "You mean, after the queen summoned Wanci and the nurse that day, she didn't see them back, and then the body of the nurse appeared, and Wanci was nowhere to be found!!"

Liu Zongli nodded sadly, Wanci is his only daughter, now Wanci's life and death are uncertain, how can he not feel distressed, look at him carefully, his temples are a little white, seeing Shen Feng's gloomy expression, he sighed: "The reason why I didn't tell you before was because I was afraid that you would be impulsive, I think you should understand, at this time, you must be calm." "Now, even if Liu Zongli doesn't tell him, Shen Feng can easily find out, and it is difficult to guarantee that he hears unreliable rumors, and he will rush to the palace at once, and he is more likely to be used by villains.

From yesterday to now, Shen Feng's heart has not settled down for a moment, the nurse was actually killed, and the cause of death is unknown, isn't that euphemism thinking of the worst result in his heart, he can't help but be afraid, his fingers seem to be uncontrollable, he twitched slightly, and his palms have been sweating.

"Shen Feng, Shen Feng, don't worry, the words may be fine!"

Liu Zongli shouted a few times in a row, and Shen Feng came back to his senses and said angrily: "Why did the queen summon Wanci, Wanci has nothing to do with the queen at all!"

Liu Zongli said: "This is also where my doubts lie!"

Shen Feng opened his eyes in horror, It must be the queen, I want to enter the palace and ask the queen!"

Liu Zongli grabbed his hand through the prison and said excitedly: "Shen Feng, don't be impulsive, now it is rumored that you are going to rebel, if you go to the palace at this time, or even openly conflict with the royal family, you will be able to confirm the name of this rebellion!

At this time, Shen Feng couldn't control so much, and it had been more than half a year since Wanci disappeared, "What about Wanci, and the nurse, now Wanci's whereabouts are unknown, the most suspicious person is the queen, even if she is not the queen, she can't get out of the relationship, I must go into the palace to ask clearly!"

Liu Zongli said solemnly: "Since you insist on this, then Uncle Liu wants to advise you, don't openly clash with the royal family, in the past, you clashed with the crown prince, not only will no people say that you are disrespectful, but everyone applauds, but the queen is different, the queen mother is the world, and she has been famous among the people for a long time, if you offend the queen, it will make people seize the handle and make a big fuss, and then the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Hearing this, Shen Feng was still angry in his heart, and he resisted the urge to calm down a little, and his face was gloomy.

Liu Zongli said excitedly: "Shen Feng, you must promise the old man that everything is based on the overall situation!"

"I promise you, Uncle Liu, and ask you to be wronged for a few more days, and I will ask for an explanation!" Shen Feng left the prison with a cold face, and when he heard that it was related to the palace, the first thought that came to mind was to rush into the palace and question the queen, regardless of the consequences.

"Shen Feng, Shen Feng, don't be impulsive!"

After leaving the prison, he went straight to the palace, thinking of the fortune teller's words, his heart was even more difficult to settle down, and he had no time to take into account Uncle Liu's advice, this time Shen Feng really lost his mind completely! Fortunately, the Tiance Mansion was not in the capital now, even if he wanted to rush into the palace, it was impossible, and the foreign ministers could not enter the harem without the emperor's permission.

Shen Feng came to the outside of the palace, but now that Wu Yao was also outside the palace, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Wu Yao, why are you here!?

Ji Yaoyao also seemed to have just arrived in the capital, and looked in a hurry: "Xianggong, I was going to go to the capital with you, but I didn't expect you to leave in the third watch, and I chased after you early in the morning." ”

Shen Feng looked anxious and said, "Wu Yao, go back quickly, this is not the place you should come!" Wu Yao is the emperor's daughter, if the queen appears, this will be okay, but the appearance of Wu Yao reminded herself that the queen has always been very jealous of Wu Yao, which has the confidence to threaten the queen.

"Uncle Ask the Master to order me to help you, you rushed to the palace so recklessly, you will not be criticized, Uncle Shi has thought of a way to make the emperor summon you. Ji Yaoyao said with a sincere expression: "Xianggong, I know that I am worried about the euphemism, how can I not, but you must not be impulsive, if there is another case, how do you tell a few of us to live." ”

Shen Feng had calmed down a lot, and when he heard this, he hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, I just want to ask about the truth of the matter." ”

Ji Wuyao looked apprehensive and said: "If it is really the queen's mother, she hurt the euphemism"

"Then I must avenge Euphemism!!"

This sentence is almost blurted out without thinking, if it is really the queen who killed the euphemism, Shen Feng is equivalent to embarking on the road of rebellion, at least for the time being, it is ironclad.

Ji Yaoyao trembled, her face turned pale and colorless, seeing that his tone was resolute and fearless, she suddenly felt both love and emotion in her heart, sighed helplessly, and suddenly her eyes revealed a determination to put her to death: "If this is the case, Wu Yao will definitely accompany you!"

"Wu Yao" Shen Feng wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing what to say, and instead said: "Ask Uncle Shu what you want to do in the palace?"

"Now that everyone is rumored that Tiance Mansion is going to rebel, and the people are also wary of you, Uncle Shi and I will come to relieve the pressure. Wu Yao is still defeated by the farmer, with a dusty face, and she also came to the capital early in the morning, "I have asked the emperor to enlighten the emperor, and the Luoyang Drought Tiance Mansion is willing to fund disaster relief." ”

At present, Tiance Mansion is on the cusp of the storm, and the strategy of asking for books is to suppress the rumors a little in the name of funding disaster relief, Shen Feng quickly understood, nodded and said: "I know, just take this opportunity to ask for an explanation for Uncle Liu, Wu Yao, you go back first, you are tired this day, otherwise you go to the Qu family to find Yanran first." "Xia Yanran returned to the capital from Penglai because Qu Chuxian was deposed, that is, a month ago.

"I'll be waiting for you at Yanran's place. "If she can't see him come back, Wu Yao can't go back with peace of mind. Wu Yao lives and dies with him, but some things cannot be compromised.

Shen Feng sighed, then nodded.

After Wu Yao left, she waited outside the palace for a long time before waiting for a reply, the emperor asked him to come to the morning tomorrow, but Shen Feng didn't have the time to wait, he wanted to ask the Gonggong Li for help, but now Gonggong Li was not in the palace, and he was thinking about whether to find Princess Liyi, when he saw a sedan chair coming out of the palace, this sedan chair was the palanquin of Princess Liyi.

"Princess, Princess"

Feng drove down, walked down from Princess Feng Jia, saw that it was him, and said with a faint smile: "It's you, what is the important thing you are looking for this palace?"

Shen Feng said directly: "I want to ask the princess to do me a favor, I want to ask to see the queen!"

She was far away from Princess Yi in the Horse Mansion, and she didn't know the situation in the palace, so she didn't bother to ask, so she asked casually: "What are you looking for the queen?"

Shen Feng said perfunctorily: "Last time, the queen asked me about someone, and now I have news, and I want to tell the queen mother." ”

Princess Liqi nodded, and then called a palace maid, and said, "What is the matter, you can ask Xiaocui to help you get started!" Before Shen Feng could say thank you, Princess Liqi had already started, it seemed that she did not have a very good impression of Shen Feng, and she was deceived by Shen Feng once last time.

Let the palace maid go in and pass on a word, and waited for more than an hour before waiting for the queen's mother's communication, this summons was the queen's mother secretly ordered someone to preach it, it can be seen that she has a ghost in her heart, etc.! Will the queen take the opportunity to kill me, no, she doesn't dare, besides, someone knows that I came to find the queen.

Following the palace maid into the queen's heart cultivation hall, the queen seemed to be prepared, and transferred a group of guards outside, which further strengthened Shen Feng's suspicions, there was only the queen mother in the heart cultivation hall, and Shen Feng was not polite after coming in, and sneered directly: "The queen mother is also afraid of things!"

The queen mother said angrily: "Shen Feng, I warn you, if you anger the palace, the palace will immediately order the guards to kill you!"

Shen Feng said-for-tat: "Before that, within three steps, there must be blood spattered in five steps, do you dare to try the life of the queen mother, it is worth it, it was not easy to become the queen at the beginning, if you die here, will it be a pity." ”

Hearing this, the queen's face was gloomy and terrifying, even a little hideous, and her eyes were sharp and scary, maybe this is her original face, this is the graceful and luxurious queen mother before, Shen Feng has another understanding of this queen mother in his heart.

The two confronted each other for a while, and the queen snorted coldly: "Shen Qingjia, you have already agreed with this palace before, why do you still have to bring up the old things again, are you really not afraid that this palace will turn its face and be ruthless, this palace is the queen, even if some things are seen again, this palace may not be afraid." ”

Shen Feng couldn't tell what was going on in the palace, but even if the queen wasn't afraid, Shen Feng wouldn't push Wu Yao into this abyss, and instead said, "Today I just want to ask the queen one thing, and I don't have anything else." ”

The queen said lightly: "You say!"

Shen Feng stared at the face of the queen mother, and said in a deep voice: "Has the queen mother summoned Lord Liu Zongli's daughter, I want to ask, where is she now?!

"The mourning family did summon her, and after talking to her for some time, they sent her out of the palace, and how did the mourning family know where she was now. The queen's expression was faint, there was no trace of strange changes, and she thought about it, she had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she was the master of the harem, and she had already practiced the ability to deceive and intrigue, even if there was a ghost in her heart, it would not be written on her face.

Shen Feng turned to say: "I think the queen must have heard of one thing, the nurse died in the palace, and the whereabouts of the daughter of the Liu family are still unknown, dare to ask the queen mother what explanation?"

The queen slapped the chair, got up angrily, pointed at Shen Feng and said, "Are you suspicious of the mourning family!"

Shen Feng also did not back down and said: "The daughter of the Liu family has nothing to do with you, so why did you summon her in!"

The queen mother brushed her sleeves and said angrily: "This is a matter of the mourning family, you are not qualified to know." ”

"Now one is dead, the other is missing, don't force me, if you don't give me an explanation today, I won't let you have a good time, I investigated the things back then, you killed the emperor's favorite woman to ascend to the queen's throne, and sent someone to kill Li Xiaoyue and the baby"

Hearing this, the queen's face turned pale, her eyes showed a deep look of panic, and her demeanor was completely lost: "It's not me, I don't!"

The queen was finally revealed, and Shen Feng glanced at it with disdain: "Do you think the emperor will believe your words!"

The queen's face was distorted terribly, and her eyes shot sharply at Shen Feng, she must have already had murderous intentions, but she was a little jealous, and suddenly sneered: "You don't want to tell the emperor about this matter at all, because once this matter is revealed to the world, your wife will also be involved, perhaps, the emperor thinks the same way." ”

I have to say that the queen analyzed it very thoroughly, Shen Feng was anxious, and he wanted to do it in an instant, but when he thought of Wu Yao's words, he couldn't help it, the queen had already killed herself, and she had to guard against it in the future.

The queen mother was also weighing the value of doing it now, but after careful consideration, she still temporarily withdrew her murderous intent, it was not that she didn't want to kill Shen Feng, but she wanted to confirm one thing.

Seeing her killing intent, after thinking about it, right now, this queen not only killed Wu Yao's mother, but also maybe killed the nurse and Wanci, and in an instant, Shen Feng had the urge to do it again!

Raising his eyes to look at the queen, only three steps away, Shen Feng's eyes stared deadly, and he took a step forward.

The queen couldn't imagine that he really wanted to kill herself, so she didn't think for a while, and said in fear: "You really dare to kill the mourning family, but you don't want to get out alive!"

Shen Feng put on a posture of an outlaw and sneered: "Don't you want to kill me, you know that I won't reveal it to the emperor, and you invite me into the palace again, don't you want to get rid of future troubles?!"

Hearing this, the queen's face changed, and she wanted to drink the guards, but Shen Feng moved faster, and in an instant, he had already put the dagger against the queen's throat, and said gloomily: "You killed Li Xiaoyue and killed the nurse, and today I will end your life!"

The words that the queen mother was about to shout stuck in her throat, her face turned pale with fright, and she said urgently: "You don't want to know why the mourning family summoned that folk girl into the palace, the mourning family will tell you, but you have to promise that you will not kill the mourning family!"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know, you let me enter the palace this time, it's nothing more than trying to kill me, now let your guards retreat!" Shen Feng bet right, in this palace, the royal family who are used to pampering are very timid, and they especially cherish their own lives, in their eyes, those lowly people are not worthy of life at all.

Shen Feng forced the queen to the front, let the guards outside drive away, and then said, "Now you can say it." ”

There was anger in the queen's eyes, and she said coldly: "You don't let the mourning family go first!"

Shen Feng smiled sinisterly: "That's not good, you are scheming, insidious and cunning, it is difficult to guarantee that you have any organs here, you can rest assured, as long as you explain well, I will not hurt you." ”

The queen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, this palace might as well tell you a secret, do you know who Liu Zongli's daughter is, have you never thought about it?" Under Shen Feng's puzzlement, "She is the child brought by that woman?"

Shen Feng was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "Who brought the child?"

The queen sneered: "Don't you understand?!It's the child brought by that woman in Tianfu!!"

Shen Feng finally understood, his mind suddenly went blank, this news was unintentionally earth-shattering, and it was greatly unexpected by himself, he didn't expect that Wanci turned out to be Master Yao's daughter!

"How is this possible!"

The queen was also observing Shen Feng, and when she saw his expression, she seemed to have a hidden thought in her heart: "Yes or no, you can think about it yourself, if you want to be sure, you can find it yourself." ”

Shen Feng was only shocked, but he had no doubt at all, from the age and life experience of the euphemism, it was indeed possible that it was the child at the beginning, when Master Yao Yao brought two children back to Li Xiaoyue's village, one of the two children was Wu Yao, and the other was her own child, and then she may have seen Liu Zongli's affairs from those letters, and knew Liu Zongli's personality, so she sent the child to Liu Zongli.

Listening to Uncle Liu, the euphemism was delivered to the door of the house on a snowy night, and now it has been delayed for some days, but the child is not only not dead, but also not sick at all, which may be the effect of the rui spirit on the euphemism.

And the reason why the queen summoned Wanci and the nurse was actually suspicious that Wu Yao and Wanci had dropped their bags, so she summoned them in to ask clearly, Shen Feng suppressed the shock in his heart, and said coldly: "Then did you kill them!"

The queen said lightly: "She is not the person the mourning family is looking for, why should the mourning family kill her?"

Shen Feng stared at her face tightly, and it was difficult to tell if she was lying, but if the queen didn't do it, then who killed the nurse and made Wanzi's whereabouts unknown.

Shen Feng was angry again, and said angrily: "I know what you want to do, I advise you not to beat her again, otherwise I will kill you at any cost, think about it yourself, she is the emperor's biological daughter, you have already killed Li Xiaoyue, if you kill her again, are you sure the emperor will spare you!! This is not twenty years ago!"

The queen's heart was shocked, she really didn't think about it so much, she just wanted to kill that evil seed, because that child was a thorn in her heart, and it would always make it difficult for her to sleep.

Shen Feng suddenly sneered: "You are in such a hurry to kill me and her, are you afraid that the more terrible truth will be known?" The queen is so anxious, it is indeed incomprehensible, since she knows that Shen Feng does not want Wu Yao to be involved, she can rest easy for a while, and being so anxious can only explain the things that can make her more afraid.

Even if the queen has a city mansion again, touching the most fearful thing in her heart, the defense line in her heart instantly collapsed, and her whole body suddenly softened, and even fainted a cloud of liquid from under her body!

I was scared to pee!

This was really a big surprise to Shen Feng, what was the matter, what secrets did the queen still have, what was the thing that frightened her! No matter what it was, Shen Feng's psychological warfare was won.

"You should know, I will know sooner or later, you should know, as long as I want to check, there is nothing I can't check, besides, I am already checking!" Shen Feng showed a demonic smile and put the dagger back on his body.

"No, I beg you! Don't look any further, please, don't look any further!!" the queen begged without any manners, her expression was panicked and panicked, and all her dignity flowed away like incontinence urine.

Shen Feng kicked her away and snorted angrily: "Why didn't you expect to be here today when you sent someone to kill Li Xiaoyue! For your own peace of mind, you actually sent someone to slaughter the village! You are also worthy of being the queen!"

The queen actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "It's me who is wrong, you don't want to investigate anymore, let your people stop investigating!!Don't!!Don't!!!You kill me, don't check anymore!" The queen pulled her head and shouted frantically, and the phoenix crown also fell.

Hearing this, she was even more shocked in her heart, she didn't want to die and didn't want to let herself investigate, Shen Feng snorted coldly: "Let me ask you again, did you kill them!?"

"The mourning family really didn't kill them, I know that one of them has a lot to do with you, if I kill her, you will definitely come to take revenge, not to mention, if I want to kill her, I will not summon her into the palace. ”

The queen's words are not unreasonable, so to speak, the queen really didn't start, who is it, Shen Feng immediately said: "From now on, you must obey me, otherwise I will make what you are most worried about!"

The hatred in the queen's eyes flashed, and then she said: "The mourning family listens to you for everything, as long as you promise me, you will not pursue it again." ”

Shen Feng said: "Okay, that nurse died in the palace, you have to investigate it for me, and the daughter of the Liu family, you must give me an explanation, if you didn't call her into the palace, she wouldn't have disappeared for no reason!"

"This palace promises you that I will send someone to investigate!"

Shen Feng gave her a deep look, and then left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After Shen Feng left, the queen sat alone in a daze, and then her expression became more and more frightened, and suddenly, she frantically tore the carpet underground, her face twisted and hideous.

Gradually, she stopped her madness, and at this time, an old palace maid walked out from behind the Heart Cultivation Palace, the old palace maid was about fifty years old, her face was full of wrinkles, and no one would pay attention to this inconspicuous old palace maid.

The queen's eyes were glazed, and she seemed to know that the old palace maid was standing behind her: "Tell him that Shen Feng is about to reveal my secret." ”

"Yes, Queen. ”

The queen sneered, turned her eyes, glanced at the old palace maid hatefully, and said miserably: "It is because of this queen mother that I have become what I am now, you call me the queen, but you have never regarded me as a queen in your heart, I am just a pawn of yours." ”

The old palace maid's eyes showed a look of disdain, and she smiled and said, "Didn't the queen get everything she wanted?"

The queen said blankly: "Did I get it?"

"Queen, can you turn back?"

Hearing this, the queen's eyes gradually became resolute, and she said, "Send Zhao Yan to the mourning family!"
