Chapter 223: Facing Wu Yan's Wooing
In the palace, in the imperial study, Feng Qing, who was dressed in a black and red wide dragon robe, looked at the wind behind the standing book case with a gloomy face. What was on the bookcase in front of him was Qin Yuan's request for a conviction.
"Did Miss Qin send it back?"
Feng Zhao, who was standing behind the bookcase, bowed slightly, "The subordinate has ordered someone to send it back to the Taifu Mansion." His expression was still cold and composed.
Feng Qing summoned the two Eagle Guards before summoning him, and he knew in his heart that the two Eagle Guards had already reported to Feng Qing.
Feng Qing got up and came to the window, looked out of the window for a while, turned his head to look at Feng Zhao, "You sue sΓΉ me, in addition to the loss of grain and grass He'er, what other inappropriate things have you done?" The tone was not as cold as just now, it was a little heavy, because his back was to the light, the expression on his face was hidden in the dark, and a pair of eyes like eagle eyes flashed with the elusive glow of being extinguished.
Feng Zhao was slightly shocked in his heart, not knowing how many things Feng Qing knew.
Feng He insulted Qin Min, at that time, he worked hard to seal Qin Min's tent, and the conversation inside was unknown to outsiders, and the other two guards who knew the situation had already ordered Liao Zeru to instruct, and he would probably not say it nonsense.
"King Ping didn't do anything, just had some quarrels with Miss Qin. After a moment's silence, he replied.
Feng Qing was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes when he looked at Feng Zhao, but it flashed.
"Really?"
"Yes. King Ping escorted the grain and grass this time, did his best, ate and lived the same as ordinary soldiers, and did not complain all the way to the saddle horse. The seizure of grain and grass was caused by the negligence of the vassals, and had little to do with King Ping. He said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean from your heart?"
"Yes. β
Feng Qing looked at Feng Zhao for a long time, then turned his head to look out the window, and said softly for a long time: "I never thought that you would maintain him like this." After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Fengzhao, and the light in his eyes was actually a little softer.
Fengzhao, who has no reason, has some indescribable softness in his heart.
"Go back and rest. "There was no such outrage as I imagined. There was no expected blame, so he simply asked a few words, which made Fengzhao a little surprised.
"He'er is my son after all" As Fengzhao was about to withdraw from the door, a faint begging voice came from behind him. There was a slight pause, but Feng Zhao did not look back, and said softly when he was about to step out of the door: "He is also the brother of the minister." Then he lifted his leg and stepped out.
He didn't know that when Feng Qing behind him heard his words, the light in his eyes was like a meteor in the dark night, unusually bright.
Out of the door of the study. Xia Linhai, who was standing at the door, hurriedly bowed down and saluted him. "The noble concubine Niangniang just sent someone to send a message to see His Royal Highness the King of the County. β
Feng Zhao's heart was excited, and he had been away from his mother for a long time.
Thinking that his mother was so anxious to see him. It can be seen how she has missed herself in the past few months. A warm current like a spring breeze blowing away the ice gently spread all over his body, making him feel the warmth and steadfastness that he had not felt for a long time.
Walking through the corridor and walking slowly in the direction of the Qingli Palace, I didn't go far when I heard the sound of broken and urgent walking behind me. He walked forward quietly and unhurriedly.
"Your Royal Highness, please stay. A slightly anxious and nervous woman's voice came from behind him.
Stop walking. He tilted his face slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a corner of water-red clothes fluttering in the autumn wind.
A petite aqua-red woman bent over and stood behind him with bated breath.
"The slave maid is Yun'er in the queen's palace, and the queen ordered the slave maid to invite the prince of the county to go to the queen's palace. The woman's expression was polite and meek, perhaps because she was in a hurry. His face was slightly flushed and nervous.
"Yun'er" Feng Zhao gently repeated in his heart, this name sounds a little familiar, as if it is related to the wind river.
Turn around. He glanced at the maid in front of him casually.
"Lead the way ahead. The voice was not very loud but full of majesty, and Yun'er hurriedly saluted. Turn around and walk forward. No one knew the nervousness and fear in her heart at the moment, this was the first time she had spoken to this Yanlong county king so closely, although it was only to convey the will of the queen mother, but standing in front of him, she faintly had a trace of fear in her heart. It's as if he knows everything he's done.
"Yue Ning greeted the queen mother. β
Queen Wu Yan was dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, her expression was a little haggard and uneasy, she kept walking back and forth in the middle of the house, and when she heard the palace people outside the door report that King Ningjun was coming, she immediately put away her uneasy appearance and changed into a generous, decent and noble smile.
"No courtesy. β
Looking at the photos of the salute to herself, she said softly.
Feng Zhaoli stood aside and quietly waited for Wu Yan's question.
Wu Yan, who had been watching the wind photos, felt a trace of jealousy rise in her heart for no reason: I didn't expect Feng Xi to give birth to such an excellent son.
In her heart, she secretly compared Fengzhao with Fenghe, the Fengzhao in front of her was dressed in a dark green wide-sleeved brocade robe, her long hair was scattered, and her cold and deep eyes were like a deep well that could not see the bottom at a glance, standing in the center of the hall, not angry and self-assured, and the cold breath actually made her have a faint cold air in the queen's palace.
"Ning'er, come, let my aunt take a good look," she put away the jealousy in her heart, and seemed to want to pull Yue Ning's arm lovingly, but Yue Ning avoided it without a trace.
A hint of annoyance crossed her heart, but there was a smile on her face.
"In the past few months since you went, my aunt has been really worried about you and He'er. Speaking of this, a few tears suddenly rolled down from Fang Cai's smiling face, and his expression was extremely sad.
Feng Zhao's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the sad Wu Yan, but he was very surprised in his heart, he really couldn't understand how a person's expression could be so rich and changeable.
"Thank you for your thoughts, King Ping and I are very good. He was surprised in his heart, but he still knew the etiquette that should be, and he also understood that Wu Yan was like this, just for the sake of Fenghe, and he was no longer surprised in his heart.
For this aunt, he has not had a good impression of her since he was a child, and every time he sees her in his memory, he is either crying or cold-faced his mother, but he can now understand what she did at the beginning.
Wu Yan took out a brocade and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, waved her hand, and all the palace ladies waiting in the room retreated with interest.
After seeing that only she and Feng Zhao were left in the room, she put away her tears and said softly to Feng Zhao: "This palace called you here for nothing more than your imperial brother." She deliberately accentuated her tone when she said the word "royal brother".
"You know, in this palace, this palace is like a brother and sister to your mother, but unfortunately she married Yanlong, and there is no one to talk to in this palace. Now there is only He'er in the palace to rely on, before the expedition, He'er had such a scandal, and the palace was not strict in discipline, originally thought that he would be able to save some of his reputation with the help of this expedition to the border, but unexpectedly lost grain and grass. She said as she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at the reaction of the wind photo.
"I don't know what the emperor will do with He'er this time? This palace called you here just to ask you to help He'er for the sake of being a brother and sister to your mother in this palace. β
Speaking of which, a pair of beautiful and shrewd apricot eyes revealed some expectation.
"Yue Ning is just a proton, he only wants Yanlong and Dalong to be friendly, as for the internal affairs of the Dalong court, Yue Ning can't do anything. Fengzhao responded coldly to Wu Yan's expectations.
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and some hesitation flashed on her beautifully dressed face, as if she wanted to say something difficult to say, but she couldn't say it.
After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to have made some kind of decision, took a step closer to Fengzhao slightly, lowered her voice and said seriously: "He is your cousin, if you help him today, Yanlong will be your world in the future, and Dalong will protect Yanlong at that time." When he said this, his eyes flashed like a cat's eye at night, and he stared at the wind without blinking.
With a "bang", my heart seemed to splash countless torrents and slapped on the rocks, and then retreated in an instant.
But his surface has not changed - it is still as deep and bottomless as a calm and cold lake.
After pondering for a few breaths, he slowly said coldly: "Niangniang doesn't need to worry, King Ping is the eldest son of Dalong, and the emperor has his own measure, as for the loss of grain and grass, it is Yue Ning's dereliction of duty and failure to protect it, so Yue Ning and General Qin Yuan have written to the emperor to ask for guilt, and I believe that the emperor has his own opinions." Also, Yue Ning has always been by the side of Brother Ming Wang, and he will assist him in ascending to the throne of Yanlong Kingdom. If someone makes things difficult for Yanlong in the future, Yuening will definitely protect Yanlong with all his might. Speaking of this, he bowed down and clasped his fists and saluted Wu Yan: "Yue Ning has other affairs, so she will retire." Without waiting for Wu Yan to speak, he waved his sleeves and turned around and stepped out of the queen's palace.
The walking back was tall and proud, with a silent domineering spirit, which made Wu Yan, who was stammering behind her, feel a little chill and a slight trembling in her heart.
looked at the back of Fengzhao leaving in a daze, she was angry, anxious, scared and annoyed.
As soon as Wind River lost its grain and grass, she received a letter from her brother Wu Bo, informing her of all the stories of Wind River's loss of grain and grass.
For this reason, she reminded her to be angry and anxious all day long, for fear that Feng He would lose her life again.
Wu Bo repeatedly praised Fengzhao's ability in the letter, suggesting that she had won over Fengzhao and would definitely help Fenghe in the future.
Only then did she think of using the position of the Dragon King to lure Fengzhao to her use, but unexpectedly, Fengzhao not only didn't buy it, but also treated her so coldly and arrogantly.
"Cough" Suddenly, his chest seemed to be weighed down, his mouth coughed, and a smell of blood rushed out of his throat and eyes.
"Niangniang!" Yun'er, who heard the cough and ran in, had a shocked look on her face.
At this time, wisps of blood flowed out of the corners of Wu Yan's mouth.
Turning his eyes to look at Yun'er, two lines of tears slipped down silently, and the tears at the corners of his mouth fell on the floor.
"Changyue Ning!" she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, her usually noble and delicate face hideous black. (To be continued)
