Chapter 286: Slap in the face
Feng Wu was disgusted, and when she turned around, she chopped the set of pineapple wood furniture as firewood!
"Slaves don't dare! The slave is guilty! It's all the slave's fault, it has nothing to do with the queen's mother, and it has nothing to do with others! Zhong Chengbi saw the queen's displeasure and knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he kowtowed again and again to confess.
Feng Wu no longer paid attention to Zhong Chengbi and threw the emperor a "you look at it" expression. Duan Yulin was also very distressed, and when he encountered this kind of entangled relationship, his intelligence was obviously insufficient. He could only "beg" and kick the problem back to Feng Wu.
Xu Ying saw that the emperor and queen were "eyebrows and eyes", and she felt a little unhappy in her heart. She was afraid of the table, interrupted the two of them, pointed at Zhong Chengbi's nose and reprimanded: "In vain, you are still the head of a division, and you have done such a thing that damages yin morality!" At this point, the truth has been revealed. Please ask the emperor and queen to punish her crimes! Xu Ying immediately fell into the well.
Feng Wu glanced at Xu Ying, deliberately close to Duan Yulin's ear, and whispered: "Look at your imperial concubine, she is so impatient." said that she had nothing to do with this, but the concubines didn't dare to believe it! ”
Duan Yulin was stunned for a moment, looked at Feng Wu suspiciously, and retorted in a low voice: "But now there is indeed no direct evidence that all this was instructed by the imperial concubine." ”
Feng Wu smiled and poked the emperor's heart with his finger: "If there is no evidence, what does it matter?" Anyway, you and I have a ...... in our hearts."
Duan Yulin sank his face and was silent, how could he not see the far-fetched and strange in it? But he can't execute the imperial concubine for the sake of the unclear truth, right? After all, it was the imperial concubine, not the likes of women and talents.
Feng Wu saw the emperor's embarrassment, and also knew that Duan Yulin could not blame Xu Ying for Lu Yezhen and Wei Nan. But it is a fact that Xu Ying harms people, and Feng Wu doesn't want to indulge her like this!
So Feng Wu came up with a compromise solution, she covered her face with her sleeves and quietly made a suggestion to the emperor: "Concubine Zhen and Wei Meiren just want an explanation, and the emperor will give them that." No one forced the emperor to cut off the head of the imperial concubine. Why doesn't the emperor punish the big commandment? ”
And the extent of this "small punishment", Feng Wu hopes that the emperor will grasp it well. It can't chill the hearts of the concubines and others, and it can't hurt the roots of the imperial concubines. So in the end, the emperor could only choose to hurt Xu Ying's "face".
"I understand......" Duan Yulin nodded knowingly, and now he can only do this. Duan Yulin regarded the silver chopsticks as a shocking wood, slapped it on the table, and opened the golden mouth: "The division set up Zhong Chengbi, killing the concubines and the imperial heir, and the crime is extremely evil!" sentenced to the punishment of beheading and whipping the corpse; Shanggong Hu Zhenxia, the control is not strict, and he failed to prevent the slight! Penalty suspension for one year; Imperial Concubine ......"
Xu Ying was glad that she had escaped again, when she suddenly heard the emperor pronounce her name, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Why is there anything about her? Isn't she "exonerated"? Xu Ying was suddenly nervous, and knelt down in a cold sweat to accept the order.
Duan Yulin paused, and then announced: "The imperial concubine was negligent in handling the case, so that the concubine was aggrieved; Treating harem concubines harshly, he even indirectly broke Wei Meiren's Yangshou without knowing the severity, which is equivalent to a serious injury by mistake! Abolish the title of imperial concubine, and demote it to Concubine Xu! After finishing speaking, with a flick of his wide sleeves, the case is closed.
"Concubine...... Thank you, Lord Longne! Xu Ying never thought that the emperor would not beat or scold, but he would cut her by two levels at once! She was unwilling, but she could only swallow her anger.
The Empress Fang Cai has been whispering, it must be the queen's bad idea for the emperor! It had to be her! Xu Ying glared at Feng Wu with resentful eyes, and swore in her heart: "Feng Wu, I, Xu Ying, are inseparable from you in this life!" One day, I will give you back all the pain and humiliation I have suffered! You wait for me! ”
"The concubine is not convinced!" Lu Yezhen walked to the emperor's feet and protested sharply: "The imperial concubine has deliberately murdered her concubines several times, how can it be so easy?" The concubine is wronged! The concubine is not convinced! ”
It's just a lackey who died, but Xu Ying is safe and sound, how can Lu Yezhen be willing? She risked her life to denounce it today, in order to fight to break the net! Now that the "net" is broken, but the "big fish" has escaped, isn't it a dead end for her next?
Lu Yezhen's reluctance seems to be very ignorant of current affairs at this time. Since the emperor has issued an order, and he jumped out to refute it, isn't this embarrassing to the emperor? Duan Yulin was rightly unhappy.
"What else does the concubine want? Are you satisfied if you want to kill Concubine Xu? Duan Yulin looked at Lu Yanzhen, who had half of his face covered, with a disgusted expression. Without grace, but still delusional and arrogant, it is really stupid!
"Yes! The concubine just wants to ask the emperor to sanction Concubine Xu with national law! Lu Yangzhen couldn't see the emperor's disgust, and wanted to give up hope for the future! Even Feng Wu couldn't save her now.
"Bold!" Duan Yulin kicked Lu Chaozhen away, like throwing off a used rag. His words were not tingenary: "Can you doubt my decision?" I don't need you to teach me how to deal with the harem! Duan Yulin didn't even bother to look at her again, turned his face to the queen and said, "I see that the pain of the concubine's loss of a child is about to turn into madness!" The queen arranged for her to 'recuperate', don't let her 'go crazy' and accidentally hurt Concubine Yu. As for Wei Meiren...... Alas! The queen will appease my good life. Fangda, go back to the palace! ”
"The emperor drove back to the palace-" With Fang Da's shout, Duan Yulin strode past the three concubines and left the land of right and wrong without any nostalgia.
"Alright, let's all get up." The emperor is gone, who can he show when he kneels and pretends to be pitiful? Feng Wu sneered disdainfully.
"The concubine (slave) retires!" Xu Ying and Hu Zhenxia, one was full of resentment and the other was relieved, and they each stepped back and didn't mention it.
Only Lu Huizhen knelt on the spot and refused to get up; And Wei Nan was also in tears, unwilling to sit still.
"What do you two mean? Planning to live in the Fengwu Palace of the main palace? Feng Wu shook the handkerchief, and immediately someone from the palace came in to clean up the mess. Let's take care of yourself, the palace is tired, and there are still a bunch of things waiting for the palace to deal with tomorrow. Feng Wu didn't have the energy to spend any more time with them, and was about to walk out of the dining room......
"Queen Mother!" Lu Yezhen shouted at Feng Wu's back: "How can Niangniang not distinguish between black and white? ”
"Presumptuous! How do you talk to your mother? Miao Qing scolded.
Feng Wu was stunned, and turned around to look at Lu Zhenzhen. The moonlight shone into the inner hall from outside the door, and Feng Wu's face looked cold and arrogant under the moonlight: "Also? Sneer-" A sneer overflowed the corners of her mouth: "Do you mean that the emperor doesn't distinguish between right and wrong?" ”
Lu Yezhen didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence. She just felt that the emperor deliberately favored Xu Ying!
Feng Wu didn't care about Lu Chaozhen first, but opened her mouth to Wei Nan first: "Wei Meiren, do you have anything else to say?" With Feng Wu's indifferent and cold gaze, Wei Nan first nodded, and then shook his head.
"Is there nothing to say? Well, come on! Prepare a sedan chair and send Wei Meiren back to the Jade Pavilion. Feng Wu approached Wei Nan and touched her face as if she was loving: "You can't always rely on Wei Ying's kindness to coax the palace to be selfish, right?" Well, there will always be a day when the report will be finished. Your time is running out, cherish it. Don't make trouble for Hongu anymore, okay?! ”
Saying the last sentence, Feng Wu suddenly became fierce; The movement of the hand also changed from a gentle stroke to a hard chin pinch. Wei Nan finally couldn't help crying, and he didn't know if he was scared or sad about his fate...... Later, the sedan chair came, and several people hurriedly carried Wei Nan up and sent him back to the dormitory.
"You also avoid it first." Feng Wu spoke to Qing Qian, but she didn't even look at her. Qing was reluctant to leave, and was dragged out by Miaoqing.
Only Feng Wu and Lu Yangzhen were left in the huge dining room, and no one bothered them now.
Feng Wu leisurely sat back in the chair in front of Lu Yangzhen: "What else do you want to say?" Go ahead. ”
"You know, Queen! Concubine Xu is the murderer behind the scenes! She has done so many unsavory things in the harem for so many years, and the queen should know better than the concubines! Lu Yangzhen grabbed Feng Wu's knees, tears raining down.
"What if you know? The emperor made it clear that he didn't want to touch her, what can you do? What about Hongu? Feng Wu held up Lu Yezhen's chin, let her look directly at herself, and said word by word: "With you, you also want to move Xu Ying?" Self, no, quantity, force! "How easy is it for a mayfly to shake a tree?
Lu Yangzhen looked up to the sky and smiled: "Ahahaha...... So what can I do? What do you think I'm going to do?! She got up and grabbed Feng Wu's shoulder in a daze, and said in pieces: "My face is ruined!" My baby is gone! The emperor will never pamper me again! Did you see the emperor's expression when he looked at me just now? Abhor! His eyes were full of disgust! Hehe...... Hehehe......"
Miao Qing was afraid that Lu Huizhen would be unfavorable to the queen, so she rushed in through the door and pushed it open: "Niangniang, the concubine is crazy!" ”
watched Lu Yezhen sit on the ground, laughing wildly, and didn't even realize that the veil was torn off. Feng Wu closed her eyes sympathetically and sighed: "Yes, she is crazy...... harem is a place that can drive people "crazy"! Who in the harem is not "crazy"?
Feng Wu pinched her eyebrows with a headache, and invited the inner supervisor to drag the crazy Lu Huizhen out. and instructed Dequan to pass on her phoenix message: "Since the emperor doesn't want to see her again, let her move back to Jinseju." There's nothing going on, and there's no need for her to go out and about. ”
"The minions obey." Dequan came to the courtyard with Feng Yu, and saw that Lu Yanzhen was still struggling under a few little eunuchs and refused to be honest. He smiled sadly: "The little master of the concubine should save effort!" Now that you've used up all your energy, how can you spend the long time of seclusion in the future? ”
When Lu Yezhen heard the word "seclusion", like a puppet running out of clockwork, the whole person instantly stopped. She turned her head to look at Dequan and asked, "Confinement?" What scruff? Who wants to imprison me! I'm not going! I won't die! ”
"The queen has a purpose, and the concubine is suffering from serious madness and needs to be isolated and recuperate. From now on, be grounded in Jinseju! Take! Dequan gave an order, and several internal prisoners ignored Lu Yezhen's crazy resistance, and tied her up and carried her to Jinseju.
At this point, the concubines and Wei Meiren withdrew from the stage of harem competition.
