Chapter 47: Rumors
But there are always people in the harem who are happy and some are worried, Luo Zixiao is happy to have a noble son, but Feng Yi is distressed by the rumors. Since she returned to the palace alone in advance to preside over Concubine Lan's funeral, rumors have spread in the harem, rumors that Fang Huanshan's death was not an accident but man-made, and the culprit is likely to be Concubine Yi who dealt with the aftermath! Because the queen, who was supposed to be in charge of the funeral, did not return to the palace, but her own sister came back to deal with it, everyone speculated that Concubine Yi took the initiative to ask for help, and the reason why she was so active was probably to take the opportunity to hide some ulterior secrets.
The rumors spread with noses and eyes, and soon reached the ears of the former Chaofang and Feng families. Feng Tianxiang would definitely not believe it; But Fang Tong was shocked with a lot of suspicions, and recently every day in the court, he seemed to stare at Feng Tianxiang's back with a torture-like gaze. Who killed his daughter? Fang Tong will definitely investigate to the end. If it is really related to the Feng family, then their Fang clan will break off with the Feng family from now on, and they will not share the sky!
The previous dynasty was quite turbulent due to rumors, but Duan Yulin still treated Fengyi as usual, and deliberately turned over Fengyi's brand on this day. Feng Yi had a hunch that tonight's bed would not be as ordinary as usual, so she dressed up very carefully - she chose a set of peacock pattern brocade dresses, wearing an emerald and tourmaline flower crown and inserting a pair of red gold phoenix tail agate tassels; The peacock green jadeite bead necklace on the jade neck and the carved gold rhombus inlaid jadeite grain armor on the hand are self-contained; The pink rouge on the cheeks is matched with a touch of burnt blue inlaid gold flowers between the foreheads, and the delicate and delicate ones are full of softness. Her grand decoration made even Mu Ju stunned when she saw it. But what made Mu Ju even more puzzled was that Feng Yi also instructed her to bring the golden seal of the concubine and the treasure book to Zhaoyang Hall together.
"Niangniang, why do you want to bring the gold seal and treasure book?" While waiting for Feng Luan Chun's car, Mu Ju still asked her questions.
"The rumor that this palace killed Lan Guifei has spread all over the harem, which clearly means that someone wants to frame the blame for this palace, and this palace can't sit still." The emperor's lack of movement means that no one can cite evidence to prove that she is the murderer, and Feng Yi must strike first to win the emperor's trust. As long as Duan Yulin is willing to stand on her side, she will definitely be able to clear her suspicion.
Feng Luan Chunen carried Feng Yi staggered all the way to Zhaoyang Palace, and entered the dormitory Duan Yulin was still looking at the last few folds, he knew that Feng Yi had arrived, and he didn't raise his head and waved his hand to signal her to be exempt, but Feng Yi still stubbornly performed a complete set of worship etiquette. Seeing that she insisted on kneeling, Duan Yulin put down the fold in his hand and said strangely: "What's wrong today?" I asked you to excuse you, but you had to make a big salute, and you were dressed so ceremoniously, those who didn't know thought that I had opened the early dynasty to the harem. Get up. ”
"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine is guilty, and tonight I took the opportunity of the servant to ask the emperor for guilt!" Feng Yi's words are humble, but her demeanor is stubborn and unyielding.
"Oh? What are your sins, how come I don't know? Duan Yulin simply pushed the excerpts aside and listened attentively to Feng Yi's statement.
"The concubine has committed the crime of trespassing, the concubine should not be the queen of the queen's funeral on behalf of the concubine of Kulan, now not only the harem rumors are not stopped, but even the queen's good name, the concubine really deserves to die!" As she spoke, tears dripped from her eyes, and the jade grains that smashed on her armor floated like dew on the flowers and leaves, which was so fragile and pitiful.
"Nonsense! The funeral of the presiding concubine Lan was appointed by me to do it, so why do you say that you are trespassing? If you have to say that you are guilty, then the blame is not on you. Get up, come to me. Duan Yulin stretched out his hand towards Feng Yi, and Feng Yi put the jade hand into his hand and was held by him. Duan Yulin hugged Feng Yi by his side, patiently wiped away her tears, and said with relief: "I know that many of your grievances are because of those rumors, but I don't believe it at all, why do you care so much? ”
"The concubine can't help but care, the concubine has also heard a little about the turmoil in the previous dynasty, and the relationship between the two important ministers Fang and Feng is tense because of the concubine, which must also make the emperor quite distressed, right?" During this period of time, Duan Yulin couldn't feel the secret competition with Feng Tianxiang in the morning, but this was exactly what he liked to see, so he naturally had to turn a blind eye. However, the harem women of Fengyi also knew very well in the previous dynasty, and I have to say that the Feng family really did not have a fuel-efficient lamp. Sensing that Duan Yulin's eyes had changed, Feng Yi consciously lost her words, and quickly knelt down again: "The emperor forgives his sins!" The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the concubines keep it in mind, but if you care, it will be chaotic, and please ask the emperor to punish you! Feng Yi took out the prepared golden seal and treasure book of the noble concubine and held it above her head with both hands, and her voice was sincere and sincere: "In order to calm down this rumor, the concubine voluntarily removed the concubine's dignity in order to make up for the concubine's mistakes. ”
"Concubine Ai understands righteousness so well, how can I blame you? Concubine Ai's expectation is good, because Concubine Lan's death Fang Tong has long been suspicious, and now that there are such rumors, Fang Tong is even more unwilling to give up, and the spearhead is directly aimed at your Feng family. You also know the temper of the protector, in order to protect you, he did not hesitate to go-for-tat with Fang Tong, originally your two families were still related, and such a fuss was really unfavorable to both parties. The most important thing is that the two important ministers are arguing with each other, which really gives me a headache! "Recently, the open and secret battles between the two of Shang Chao Fang and Feng have been seen in their eyes, but he either pretends not to know, or pretends to be weak and does not dare to intervene, in order to borrow Fang Tong's hand to rectify the Feng Party! Duan Yulin put on a look of pity and said softly to Feng Yi: "I am very moved by the love of the concubine for my sake. I can't take away your title of concubine just because of rumors, which will not only chill everyone in the harem, but also really hurt my friendship with the protector; But I have to calm down the turmoil of the previous dynasty, otherwise it will damage the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers of Lord Fang, and I will be embarrassed! ”
"The emperor doesn't have to be embarrassed, even if he sacrifices his concubines! I believe that the protector can also understand the emperor's distress. "The people who target her are actually targeting the Feng family, as long as she is willing to be wronged, she can keep the Feng family safe. Anyway, the emperor had no intention of finding out the real culprit, all he wanted was to appease the Fang clan's anger at the lowest cost.
"I have a concubine like this, what more can I ask for! I can't do it except for your concubine title, but I can only wronged you first to hand over the power of the assistant six palaces. "Demotion is not the goal, seizure of power is the real chapter!
"Concubine...... Thank you, forgiveness! Feng Yi didn't understand the emperor's intentions, but she was sad in her heart, and she couldn't change him for eight years to prove her innocence, and tears couldn't help but fall at the moment of kowtowing and thanking her.
The holy decree that Concubine Yi was withdrawn from the right of the six palaces of the assistant palace spread throughout the harem the next day, and Xu Ying of the Chenqi Palace just wanted to clap her hands when she heard it, and at the same time she had to actively plan how to take advantage of this opportunity to win the right of the six palaces of the assistant palace in one fell swoop; On the other side, the face of the queen in the Fengwu Palace was slightly solemn, and Feng Wu suspected that it was the emperor's handiwork since she heard this rumor. The concubines in the palace who are at odds with the Feng family are none other than Xu Ying and Zheng Jiye, Zheng Jiye lingers on the sickbed and is powerless, if Xu Ying is the mastermind, she will only come directly at her, and will not beat the idea to Feng Yi around the bend, so the root is not in the harem but in the front dynasty!
What a great man, is he really unscrupulous to achieve his goal, and even such inferior means are used? Not only did it make the Feng family and the Fang family have a rift, but also eliminated Feng Yi's assistant power of the six palaces, Feng Wu didn't even have a hard time guessing the situation above the morning dynasty today - Duan Yulin must have pretended to be helpless again, and while facing Feng Tianxiang with great apologies and accompanying caution, he turned his head and hinted to Fang Tong to convey, "I am also forced to be helpless, I have already offended the Feng family for your daughter, Aiqing, you must understand my hardships and believe that I and the Fang family are the same enemy." In this way, instead of making the two sides turn hostility into friendship, Fang Tong deliberately made Fang Tong feel that the emperor and him were in the same trench, and he was even more fearless against the Feng clan. It's a pity that her stupid sister naively thought that she could sacrifice herself in exchange for the emperor's mercy towards the Feng family, and gave up the power in her hands to others in vain. If Feng Wu did not expect, the power of the six palaces of the assistant will soon fall into the hands of the virtuous concubine Xu Ying, at this time, Feng Wu also has a splitting headache, and the evil wolf in front has not driven away the tiger in the back, and it is really a belly and back enemy!
Feng Yi was innocently framed, in addition to Xu Ying's happiness, Shen Xiaoxiang and Shao Feixu were even happier, and it was strange that someone was unhappy that someone carried the black pot for him! Shao Feixu's typical villain is ambitious, taking Hibiscus to take a walk in the Quhe Garden to enjoy the purple lotus, and when he was tired, he found a secluded rockery group near Qinxin Lake to sit and chat, and Xiaoxiazi let off the wind not far away. Shao Feixu saw that there was no one around, so he boldly said what he thought in his heart: "This time I cheapened Shen Xiaoxiang's slut, but I asked Concubine Yi to carry the black pot for her." ”
"So what does it matter? Anyway, we have the evidence of Xiang Guifei's poisoning, and we just need to catch that goddess. Lord Shao's cronies in Beijing have already heard that the goddess seems to be still in Yong'an City, and it is believed that there will be eyebrows soon. Fleur said confidently.
"The action should be fast, if it drags on for too long, I'm afraid that Shen Xiaoxiang will not be good if he takes the first step to kill people and kill his mouth." The cronies sent by Shao Feixu heard that a group of killers wanted to secretly intercept and kill her on the way back to Chuzhou, but unfortunately they waited for a few days and no one left the city, and it was too late to return to the city to search, and Wuyin seemed to have evaporated from the world. Presumably, Shen Xiaoxiang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot at this time, and she had to find Wuyin before Shen Xiaoxiang.
"Little master, there is one more thing...... It's the palace maid named Frostfall, she hasn't been killed by Xiang Guifei, will this threaten us? Furong didn't know if this incident would affect the overall situation of the master's overthrow of the Xiang noble concubine.
"Afraid of what? It must be that Shen Xiaoxiang has not found a suitable opportunity to start, and the frost will definitely die, so Shen Xiaoxiang will not leave this hidden danger. Besides, she had already dealt with that fake talisman for us, and now she was being stared at by Shen Xiaoxiang with fierce eyes, and no one would know that we had changed Fang Yushan's talisman and added a few herbs to it. Shao Feixu is now ready to do everything and only owes Dongfeng, while the master and servant were laughing proudly, they didn't expect that the conversation between them would be heard clearly by Meng Xiruo, who happened to pass by.
