Chapter 44: The Shadow of the Spy
As soon as these words came out, Yinling's concealment of the facts naturally appeared, and Feng Yanhao's impression of Begonia was slightly better, and his inner emotions began to lean towards Begonia. After all, no one would accuse themselves of anything until the matter was thoroughly investigated.
"The concubine doesn't know the way, but she only knows that the jasper and the autumn frost fell into the water together at that time, and the concubine didn't dare to make a final conclusion as to whether it was life or death." Begonia replied with low eyebrows.
When Feng Yanhao heard this, he asked Li Cai on the side for confirmation: "The person who found the body of Jasper in the fish feeding platform has been salvaged in the water?" ”
"This slave doesn't know, the slave only heard that Jasper's corpse was already on the grass next to the fish feeding table before everyone arrived, this is probably the silver bell girl knows best!" Li Cai already knew that Yinling was not simple, and he had suffered losses in her before, so with such a good opportunity, he naturally had to make good use of it.
When Yinling heard Li Cai's words, she raised her eyes and looked at him angrily, she naturally knew in her heart that Li Cai was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, but Li Cai ignored her at all, telling her that there was no way at all.
Feng Yanhao listened and asked, "Yinling, how did you find the body?" ”
Yinling let out a sigh of relief and said resignedly: "There are no floating corpses at all, I don't feel at ease, so I went to check it out." I didn't expect that Jasper knew a little about water, and she climbed up from the fish feeding platform, so I pushed her to the ground, covered her mouth and nose with a water-soaked handkerchief, and suffocated her to death......"
"You ......" Yinling's words came out, everyone present sighed, but I didn't expect Yinling, a soft and weak girl, to kill people without even blinking her eyes, and an awe-inspiring chill suddenly sprouted in everyone's hearts, lingering for a long time.
Feng Yanhao's scalp was numb when he heard it, and before Yinling finished speaking, he said: "Come on, drag this vicious maidservant down, and drown like jasper......"
"Wait!" This interrupted Feng Yanhao's words, but it was Haitang who said, she said: "At that time, when Yinling asked her about the origin of the two of them, both of them said that they were from Manfangyuan, but somehow they were from Liyun Pavilion? ”
Litong was originally calm, if she didn't have the intention to take advantage of this matter to bring down the concubine beauty, she would definitely not make such a fuss, but Haitang's words were obviously aimed at her, and she had to open her mouth: "I don't know what the concubine beauty means, Biyu is a person from my Liyun Pavilion, this is a matter known to everyone in the palace, how can it be faked, why does she have to risk full of Fangyuan?" ”
Haitang's face was faint, she raised her head, looked at Litong and said: "This is exactly the strange thing about this matter, and I hope that His Royal Highness will see it, and it will also calm my sister's heart." ”
Feng Yanhao nodded when he heard this, and was about to speak, when at this time, someone from the palace came to report: "Your Highness, the servants have already sent someone to fish at the fish feeding table, and they have not found any suspicious signs." Jasper's corpse, the imperial doctor has also experienced, although she choked on water, she suffocated to death, and the veil on her body was gone. ”
From this, it can be seen that Yinling's words are true, but the autumn frost has fallen into the water, how can it be lost? Why did the two of them hide their identities and lie that they were from Man Fangyuan? Thinking of this, Feng Yanhao instructed Li Caidao: "Go and invite Miss Fangyi from Manfangyuan here." ”
Li Cai got the order, went by himself, and came back with Fang Yi after a while.
When Fang Yi saw Feng Yanhao, she also bowed to Yingying and knelt on the ground, but in comparison, she was much calmer. I saw her raise her head, her face dignified, and she opened her lips slightly: "I don't know why His Highness summoned Fang Yi?" ”
Hearing this, Litong smiled coldly, glanced at her with her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Now that this matter is spread in the palace, Sister Fangyi said that she doesn't know what to say, this is really suspicious." ”
Fang Yi glanced at Litong, ignored her, knelt up straight, and waited for Feng Yanhao to speak.
Seeing that she was silent, Litong became more and more bold, and said to her face: "When Miss Yinling came to tell me the news of Jasper in the morning, she said that Jasper was because she was open-mouthed and said that the dim sum that Concubine Meiren gave to her sister and asked her sister to be poured out, which annoyed Fei Meiren and slapped her, and brought disaster to herself. I don't know if it's true, when did the people in my palace become so familiar with Man Fangyuan? ”
"Then the people in my sister's palace pretended to be the palace people full of Fangyuan and framed me, why didn't my sister mention it?" Fang Yi replied coldly.
"Hmph~ Sister can think of this, presumably anyone who hears this can think of it, who knows that Lu Dao, is it my sister who shouts to catch a thief, but on the contrary, I framed my sister?" Fang Yi spoke, where could Litong tolerate her to say this? Naturally, it was going to block back without giving way.
Noisy and shouting, you are a sentence, I am a sentence, Feng Yanhao listened to it, but after the most trouble, it disturbed his train of thought, so he said: "Yinling forced people into the water and killed Jasper with her own hands, she has confessed to this matter, and someone will drag her to the court to be strictly guarded." ”
The palace people dragged the silver bell down, and she was also silent, only when she was leaving, she quietly glanced at Haitang, and then left with a smile on her lips. Haitang didn't understand why she was like this, but she felt a little sorry in her heart because of her laughter.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Yanhao said: "Concubine Beauty, scolded the palace people, caused a murder, although there was a reason, but there was still something wrong, go back to Chuntang Garden, and be grounded for two months." Fang Yi and Li Tong pointed out each other and framed each other through the mouth of the palace people, and before the matter was clearly verified, they were not allowed to go out of the room for half a step, and no one was allowed to visit, and they were also deprived of the special treatment of the concubines and demoted to palace maids. ”
As soon as these words came out, Litong immediately took her knees as her feet, moved to Feng Yanhao's feet, pulled the corners of his clothes and cried: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please, don't do this to Litong, Litong just wants to be by His Highness's side, please don't drive Litong away......"
Fang Yi listened, silently, she was not very enthusiastic about Feng Yanhao in the first place, so like this, it was just a return to her former identity, and a heavy guy was nothing to her, but she hadn't done it for a long time, and it was inevitable that she would be powerless. However, she can have hope, and when she is twenty-five years old, she will be able to be released from the palace like other palace maids, marry other women, and live an ordinary life.
Feng Yanhao's words cleared Haitang's charge, but it was only two months, and there was a matter of the third prince coming to Danxiang in the middle, perhaps, Feng Yanhao just wanted to take the opportunity to tell her to avoid it. After all, the Begonia Dancing Girl was born with a lowly status and is not in front of others, which will affect the image of King Danxiang in the mind of King Wuzhu, and he wants her to avoid it, and Begonia can also understand it.
