098. Three-year maid

Feng Guiren went out of the Jade Palace, the wind outside was blowing stronger and stronger, the slightest wind sound was in his ears, Feng Guiren looked up at the sky above his head, just now it was still floating clouds, light as cotton, and it began to darken in an instant, thinking about the excitement in front of Xiufang Palace, he didn't think about going back to Fenghuan Palace, turned around and went to Xiufang Palace in the opposite direction.

"Slap, slap, slap........."

Before Feng Guiren arrived at the palace gate, he heard the sound of slapping his face, and when he got closer, he saw that the personal palace maid and a little eunuch were slapping a group of little palace maids kneeling on the ground.

When Shuo Qiu saw Feng Guiren, Feng Guiren had already arrived beside him, hurriedly stopped his hand, and said: "The slave didn't know that Feng Guiren was here, and she didn't salute, and she hoped that Feng Guiren would forgive her sins." ”

Xiao Luzi saw Feng Guiren, and hurriedly saluted: "Xiao Luzi didn't know that Niang Niang was here, she didn't salute in time, she lost her courtesy, and I hope that Feng Guiren will forgive her sins." ”

Feng Guiren said: "You two teach Sister Mo a lesson to the minions, and it doesn't matter if you don't salute in time. ”

Shuo Qiu and Xiao Luzi said in unison: "Noble Xie Feng! ”

Feng Guiren walked in front of the slightly older palace maid led by the group of kneeling palace maids, looked at her face that was red and swollen from being beaten, bent down and asked, "You, tell this palace in detail, what are you punished for today?" ”

When the palace maid heard this, her body trembled, and she moved her swollen and painful face, and said with difficulty: "Today's slave maid ......... is taking the group of little palace maids behind him to Yongle Hall to fight ......... When cleaning, he gossiped and chatted with them on the road, violated the rules of the palace, and was ......... by the concubine Mother saw it, so .......... So that's it.......... was punished. ”

Feng Guiren frowned: "That's all?" Hongu wants to hear more. ”

The palace maid panicked: "Slave maid.......... Slave ..........."

One of the little palace maids kneeling behind her saw that her aunt's face was so swollen that she couldn't speak, and hurriedly replied: "Feng Guiren, today's incident is all the fault of the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids should not talk to each other on the road, should not gossip about the Fengfu, and should not beat the maids of the Fengfu." ”

"Gossip about the Wind Mansion? What gossip? ”

The little palace maid replied: "Today, the eldest lady of the Feng family not only poisoned the dining room of the Yongle Palace, but also ......... Princess Yongyang Pushed down the Yueyu Lake with you, the slave and the maid talked more, the slave and the maid knew that they were wrong, and the slave and the maid were guilty! ”

Feng Guiren frowned slightly, and thought about it for a long time, the poisoning of the palace maid in the backyard of Yongle Palace, no matter which direction he thought about, he felt that it should not be Feng Yuanzhi's doing.

Thinking about it again, this morning she was summoned by the queen mother and entered the palace, but as soon as she came, she became the biggest sinner in the palace, so she couldn't be reasonable, if she wanted to murder them, she would definitely not be so blatant, so that everyone in the palace knew that she had harmed others, presumably she was framed, since this matter is related to the queen mother and Princess Yongyang, this murder is also inseparable from them - in this harem, the queen is dominant, except for her and the princess, who else dares to do this kind of thing under her nose.

Now that the concubine Yu Shuangmo is present, Yu Shuangmo has always been very smart, and I am afraid that the truth of this matter will soon come out. Instead of letting the truth of the matter come out, it is better to help yourself, maybe this only queen mother will notice her kindness, and she will not be struggling in the palace in the future.

Thinking of this, Feng Guiren's phoenix eyes raised slightly, glanced at the palace maid at the head, and said coldly: "The bold maid dared to secretly poison the meals in the dining room of the Yongle Palace, intending to murder the palace maid in the backyard of the Yongle Palace, and even blamed others afterwards!" ”

When the palace maid led by the leader heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she was shocked and said: "Feng Guiren, the slave and maid are not poisoned, the slave and maid are wronged, and the slave and maid are wronged!" ”

Feng Guiren's eyes turned pale, and then he looked at a little palace maid behind him, and said coldly: "You get up, slap her mouth for this palace, and slap her until she is not wronged." ”

The little palace maid listened to the order, and quickly stood up timidly, and when she just walked in front of the palace maid who was the leader, she saw that the aunt in front of her, who usually took care of herself, was ruthless to fight, so she had to close her eyes tightly, and when she raised her hand to fight ruthlessly, the palace maid headed by her was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Feng Guiren, the slave and maid are not wronged, the slave and maid are not wronged!" ”

The little palace maid stopped the hand that was being raised in the air, and looked at Feng Guiren timidly, hoping that she would allow herself to stop.

Feng Guiren hooked his lips, opened his lips lightly, and said: "Since you are not wronged, this palace will let you go to the Jade Palace at this moment, and personally confess your guilt in front of the emperor, saying that you were the only one who murdered the palace maid in the harem of Yongle Palace."

When the palace maid at the head heard this, tears flowed uncontrollably, and she kowtowed and cried: "Yes, the slave maid will do it now." ”

After finishing speaking, the palace maid got up and hurriedly ran in the direction of the Jade Palace.

In the Jade Palace, Yu Shuangmo set his eyes on Feng Yuanzhi and asked, "Feng Yuanzhi, this palace asks you, when did you go to Yongle Palace, and why did you go?" What happened in the meantime? ”

When Feng Yuanzhi heard this, she replied: "Back to the words of the noble concubine, the courtiers entered the palace this morning, and the queen invited the courtiers to talk for nearly an hour, and then the princess Yongyang entered the Jade Palace, saying that she wanted to communicate with the courtiers more, and took the courtiers to the Yongle Palace. After the courtiers and the princess Yongyang played "Changxiangshou" in the piano and flute ensemble in the Yongle Palace, the princess took the courtiers to the shore of Yueyu Lake, and fed the fish together on the shore of Yueyu Lake, that is, when feeding the fish, the princess fell into the water. ”

Yu Shuangmo pondered for a moment and frowned: "Then you have always been by the side of the Queen Mother and Princess Yongyang, and have never left half a step?" ”

Feng Yuanzhi bowed slightly: "Yes, I have never left half a step." ”

Yu Shuangmo turned her head slightly, looked at the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, since Feng Yuanzhi entered the palace, she has never left the side of the queen mother and Princess Yongyang, which means that she has never been to the dining room of Yongle Hall alone, since she has never been there, the poison in the dining room must not be under her own hands." ”

Yu Shuangmo said, looked at Princess Yongyang again, and deliberately asked, "Yongyang, is what this palace said reasonable?" ”

Princess Yongyang was stunned for a moment, so she had to nod hurriedly.

At this time, a palace maid outside the door who was beaten and swollen in the face cried and begged to see her, and after coming in, she knelt down with a plop and cried: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the concubine's mother, the poison in the meal in the Yongle Palace is under the slave maid, the slave maid ........ The slave and the maid are guilty, and the slave and the slave confess! ”

The emperor frowned: "Huh? ”

The palace maid was so frightened that her knees trembled, and she couldn't even kneel steadily.

With the arrival of this palace maid, Princess Yongyang can be regarded as relieved.

Yu Shuangmo asked puzzledly, "Why did you poison your diet?" ”

The palace maid regretted her heart at the moment, regretted that she had promised Feng Guiren to carry the pot, and began to blame herself for her cowardice at that time.

If you don't agree to Feng Guiren to come here to confess your guilt, even if you are executed by Feng Guiren, you will die innocently, but now that you have admitted such a crime in front of so many people, even if you are executed, you will be notorious in the palace in the future, and even the parents in your hometown will not be able to raise their heads because of this. But now there is no turning back, if you tell Feng Guiren that he forced himself to admit his guilt, he is just a lowly little palace maid, I am afraid that not only will no one believe him, but he will also end up with a corpse that has died because of bullying the monarch and will be beheaded all over the house.

The palace maid shed tears, gritted her teeth fiercely, and said, "Slave maid......... The slave maid did not deliberately poison it, but when she was preparing a meal in the dining room this morning, she saw that there were many insects in the dining room, and the slave and maid were born afraid of this kind of fluffy and wriggling thing, so they took out the insecticidal poison brought from their hometown and sprinkled it on the ground, but accidentally brought the poison to the meal during the meal preparation, which would cause all the palace maids in the backyard of Yongle Hall to be poisoned, the slave and maid should die, and the slave and maid should die! ”

The queen said: "Your Majesty, since this palace maid said that the poisoning was done by herself, then she has wronged the eldest lady of the Feng family, and if this is the case, then severely punish this palace maid." ”

The emperor ordered: "Come on, drag this palace maid down and die!" ”

"Yes!" Two guards at the door ran in and dragged the maid down.

Yu Shuangmo continued: "Feng Guiren said that he fell into the water due to an accident, and the palace maid in the backyard of Yongle Hall was poisoned, and there were also palace maids who took the blame, so we still wronged Feng Yuanzhi after all. ”

The queen said: "What my sister said is wrong, although the truth about the poisoning and Feng Guiren's falling into the water has come out, but she must not be able to escape the relationship with Yongyang falling into the water." ”

Anwar arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since the poisoning of Yongle Hall and the fall of Feng Guiren into the water have nothing to do with Feng Yuanzhi, Weichen begged the emperor to take back his order and no longer expel the Fengfu family from Kyoto and exile them to remote places." ”

The emperor bowed slightly: "Well, the matter of exile from the Fengfu family will be stopped, but Feng Yuanzhi did push the princess into the lake, and I must punish her." ”

The queen mother proposed: "Why don't you let her go to the Dongtang Ancient Courtyard in the frontier and be a maid for the king of Runjun for three years as a punishment?" ”

Anwar hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, by all means, the emperor has already said that he will no longer exile the Fengfu family, but if Feng Yuanzhi is allowed to go to the frontier land as a slave, it is really no different from exile." ”

"What do you think?" The emperor set his eyes on Yu Shuangmo.

Yu Shuang said silently: "Since she wants to be punished as a slave, the concubine thinks that there is no need to send her to the frontier, and it can also be in Kyoto." ”

Liang Yuan was interested in Feng Yuanzhi in his heart, thinking that if he let her go to Prince Rong's mansion, he would not really let her be a maid, and he would definitely treat her well, so he said: "Father, the emperor .........."

Suddenly, Anwar interrupted: "Your Majesty, can you let Feng Yuanzhi enter the trial court as a maid?" ”

The emperor frowned slightly, waved his hand and said: "Okay, let her go to the trial court to be a maid for three years, today's matter is over, I want to go back to Guanghua Hall to deal with political affairs, you all retreat." ”

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!" ”
