Chapter 117: Smoke and Haze
On the way to the Xuanmu Palace, Wang Zhengjun was nervous. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info the emperor summoned her so anxiously, presumably because he had heard about Feng Yuan. However, in a hurry, she didn't dare to think about it further, so she had to step forward hard. A few cool breezes made the flowers and branches on the roadside tremble, and they also disturbed her slender and soft green silk. She steadied herself and carefully sorted out her appearance before stepping into the inner sanctum.
The inner hall is as quiet as night at the moment, and under the flickering few rays of soft light, Liu Zheng's posture is cold and arrogant. He stood upright in front of the window with his hands behind his back. The eyebrows on the forehead and the cold eyes all make people feel solemn. Wang Zhengjun saw it in her eyes, and she was also full of fear, and she took a step forward lightly with her clothes flying, leaned over and said, "The concubine sees the emperor!" ”
"Get up." Liu Zheng turned around when he heard the sound, and looked at her quietly, his eyes slowly cooled, and he said sadly: "I have only been out of the palace for a day, why did I make such a lot of trouble?" Wang Zhengjun was full of self-blame, and only lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "It's all to blame on the concubines, it's the negligence of the concubines, and ask the emperor to punish the crime!" ”
"The left one is punished, the right one is punished, whose crime should I be punished?" Liu Zheng looked at Wang Zhengjun a little helplessly, and that cold gaze not only made Wang Zhengjun shudder, but also made her feel a little heartache. She knew that Liu Zheng was feeling sorry for Feng Yuan at the moment. Wang Zhengjun didn't dare to raise his head, and only spit out a few words between his shallow eyes, "The concubine is afraid!" ”
Seeing this, Liu Zheng couldn't bear it, he withdrew his cold gaze, thought about it back and forth, and then asked slowly: "How is Feng Meiren now?" Awake? "Feng Meiren is still in a coma." Wang Zhengjun shook his head lightly, and then carefully considered: "But the imperial doctor said that there is no danger. Wang Zhengjun replied modestly and did not dare to say a word more.
"That's fine, I can rest assured." Liu Zheng's calm and cold face softened slightly, but suddenly changed his words, and turned to a serious statement: "Feng Meiren's poisoning of the Empress Dowager, I want to know what the Empress thinks?" Wang Zhengjun's heart tightened, and he lowered his eyes and said: "The concubine feels that this matter is quite strange, and there must be a misunderstanding. Feng Meiren has a straightforward personality and is kind, and since entering the palace, she can be said to have kept her duties and never made mistakes. Not to mention that Feng Meiren could not have the intention of poisoning the Empress Dowager, that is, even if she really had this intention, she would not dare to act openly when the Empress Dowager summoned her. Isn't this more provocative and reprehensible? What's more, there were also objections when the Empress Dowager summoned Feng Meiren, so there were so many doubts, how could she make a conclusion based on the words of one person? Therefore, the concubine thought that this matter still needs to be investigated before it can be decided. ”
"The queen is no different from what I think." Liu Zheng said mildly, "Then this matter will be handed over to the queen to deal with, and I hope the queen will pay more attention." ”
"The concubine is the order." Wang Zhengjun bowed his head, and there was still a hint of brightness on his respectful face. The emperor still believes in Feng Meiren after all. In this way, the chances of saving Feng Meiren are also greater. While thinking about it, Liu Zheng frowned again, looked at her sadly, and said, "I also heard that Feng Meiren had a miscarriage because of being punished with a cane. Wang Zhengjun still had doubts about Feng Yuan's concealment of pregnancy, and he didn't plan to tell Liu Zheng about it, but now that Liu Zheng already knew, it was impossible to pretend not to know, so he had to say softly: "This concubine has also heard about it." The concubine felt that Feng Meiren was still too young to know that she was pregnant. It's a shame that it's like this now. ”
"Don't you know?" Liu Zheng snorted coldly, and his handsome face suddenly turned cold, "I heard that Feng Meiren deliberately deceived everyone. Does she just want my child? Liu Zheng said, his eyebrows furrowed, and there was even a trace of anger and sentimentality in his sharp eyes.
When Wang Zhengjun heard the mixed feelings, he lowered his voice and said, "The concubine also feels strange about this matter. However, the concubine believed that Feng Meiren wanted this child. Now that things have developed to this point, she must not want to, and there must be something unspeakable in this place. I also hope that the emperor will not blame Feng Meicai for this. ”
"Does the queen believe in Feng Meiren so much?" Liu Zheng looked straight at Wang Zhengjun. Seeing this, Wang Zhengjun bowed his head gently, and said cautiously: "The concubine believes it, and she also knows that the emperor believes it. Liu Zheng's gloomy face calmed down when he heard this, he looked at Wang Zhengjun quietly, there was a trace of unbelievable surprise in his deep eyes, and there were more indescribable things. After a while, Liu Zheng suddenly retracted his gaze, didn't ask more, and only said loudly: "I've been too busy lately, if the queen is free, let's go see Feng Meiren for me!" ”
"The concubine knows." Wang Zhengjun replied gently, showing the dignity and generosity that a queen should have, but there was an inexplicable loss in her heart, which was uncomfortable but not uncomfortable.
Not long after, Feng Yuan sobered up, but she didn't like to talk much, and her melancholy eyes seemed to hide too many things, which made people feel a little distressed. Wang Zhengjun went to see her twice, and never deliberately asked more, only told her to rest. And the results of the investigation along Mama Chen's clue were also quite satisfactory to Wang Zhengjun, all of this was indeed deliberately framed by someone to Feng Yuan. However, about the mastermind behind this scene, Mama Chen gritted her teeth and refused to say a word no matter what. Wang Zhengjun had no choice but to put Mama Chen in the prison for the time being.
Even so, Wang Zhengjun also guessed a rough idea in his heart. The next day, the concubines came to Jiaofang Dianchen Province, and Wang Zhengjun specially ordered someone to leave Fu Yao after finishing. Fu Yao fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist and smiled coldly, "The queen mother left the concubine here alone, but do you want to whisper anything to the concubine?" ”
Wang Zhengjun smiled lightly and said softly: "Fu Jieyu is really smart, so Fu Jieyu guesses what this palace wants to say?" ”
"If the queen has something to say to the concubines, then please say it directly, what are you doing like this?" Fu Yao looked at Wang Zhengjun with disdain, with a look of arrogance.
"Since Fu Jieyu is so refreshing, then okay, this palace will say it directly." Wang Zhengjun's eyes were sharp, and he was no longer pleasant, and said in a deep voice: "When the Empress Dowager summoned Feng Meiren that day, it was the time when Fu Jieyu misinformed you, right?" ”
When Fu Yao heard this, his face was very calm, as if he already knew. She raised her eyes, without fear, her eyes as soft as water looked directly at Wang Zhengjun, and the corners of her mouth also hooked a swaying and arrogant smile, "What if the concubine did it?" Does the queen want to cure the sin of concubines for this little thing? ”
"A trifle?" Wang Zhengjun stared at Fu Yao coldly, a little angry, "It's almost fatal, does Fu Jieyu still think it's a trivial matter?" ”
"Don't wronged the concubine, the concubine is cowardly, but she has never caused any trouble. As for Feng Meiren's miscarriage, it was caused by her own misconception and deliberate concealment, and she couldn't blame anyone. If she really wants to blame, she can only blame herself for poisoning the Empress Dowager, but she lost her child. Isn't that retribution? Fu Yao said sharply, and her flower-like smile made people feel cold. She suddenly put away her smile and pretended to be serious and said, "Oh, by the way, about the misinformation of the time, the Empress Dowager also agreed." Does the queen mother want to ask the queen mother for the crime together? That's right, even if this is the case, the punishment of the crime also requires evidence, I wonder if the queen has found evidence? ”
"Fu Jieyu, you!" Although Wang Zhengjun was angry, he couldn't lose his etiquette because of this, so he could only strongly suppress the resentment in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "This palace will find evidence to convince you!" ”
"Then wait for the queen mother to find evidence, and then come to treat the concubine's crime!" Fu Yao laughed even more, ignoring Wang Zhengjun's stunnedness, and directly turned around and left. Under the bright white halo, the charming and tall back was a little bewitching. Yazhu suddenly felt unhappy, "Queen Mother, Fu Jieyu is too blind to no one!" You've got to take care of it! ”
"Let her go!" Wang Zhengjun came back to her senses, her eyes were clear, her face was calm and soft, "The courage of the husband for a while, and the recklessness of the anger for a while." Today, the palace is betting with Fu Jieyu on the word 'forbearance'. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Juan came in in a panic and said urgently: "Queen Mother, it's not good, something happened!" Wang Zhengjun's heart tightened, and he raised his eyes to look at her, "Slow down, what's going on?" ”
Ling Juan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Mama Chen was killed. ”
