Chapter 321: Stay in the capital

Song Yifeng was watching the play, smiling like a peach blossom, leaning his head into Feng Qingfang's ear and saying, "I'll wait for your mother and daughter to finish quarreling, this scene is so interesting, how can I bear to interrupt?" ”

Seeing that he looked like he was not a big deal, Feng Qingfang really wanted to slap him.

"Are you here to do things, or are you here to watch a fight?"

"Do things again, and watch you quarrel again, two steps are delayed."

"You ......" Feng Qing turned his head in anger.

Song Yifeng knew that he couldn't tease anymore, otherwise this aunt would be furious, and the most ruthless thing was that if he went to the emperor tomorrow to sue him, it would be a big trouble.

"Someone, take Mencius, the palace master of Liuyun Palace, to the prison of the Criminal Department, and this official will be interrogated overnight!"

Mencius Yan did not resist, and in this case, he could not resist, so he had to obey.

"Ziyan ......" Lin Yitang hurriedly grabbed his hand, his face full of anxiety and guilt.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, wait for me here." Mencius comforted him softly and followed the officers and soldiers.

Song Yifeng said to Feng lightly: "Thank you three girls for providing me with the news, please drink tea another day, go first!" ”

Soon, all the officers and soldiers retreated, and only Feng Qingyan and Lin Yitang were left in the courtyard.

"Why are you doing this? Is it to get revenge on me? Lin Yitang asked angrily.

Feng Qingfang didn't need to look to know that Lin Yitang's eyes when he looked at him at this moment must be full of resentment.

"Although I am very annoyed by what you have done during this time, I am not going to take revenge on you by embarrassing Mencius Yan, I am doing this for another purpose."

Lin Yitang asked angrily: "What purpose?" ”

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you." Feng smiled maniacally, "Besides, I don't need to explain anything to you, don't you say?" ”

"If Ziyan makes any mistakes, I won't forgive you!"

Feng nodded lightly and said with a smile: "I know, if Mencius Yan dies in my hands, you won't forgive me?" I'm afraid he'll kill me to avenge him, right? ”

Lin Yitang stared at her indignantly and did not answer.

"You can rest assured, Mencius Yan will not have any mistakes for the time being, at most, he will come back to reunite with you the day after tomorrow," Feng said lightly and turned around and walked out, "But I'm talking about temporary, not necessarily in the future." ”

"Frivolous!" Lin Yitang wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but Feng Qingfang had already gone away.

At the door of the inn, Qin Luo was standing next to the carriage and was bored counting the stars.

"Girl, is Madame angry with you? They told you not to come, why bother to be scolded? ”

Feng got into the carriage frantically, sat down and chuckled, "If I don't come, won't she scold me?" Maybe he'll scold even harder. ”

Qin Luo also came up and poured two cups of tea casually.

"Now the imperial court has no tangible evidence that Liuyun Palace has violated the law or conspired with Prince Jin, even if he is arrested, it will only be locked up for a day or two at most, and he can't do anything to him, so what's the point of tossing him like this tonight?"

"The meaning lies in the relationship between Mencius Yan and Mu Fengyan." Feng Qing took two sips of tea, hooked his lips and smiled: "Mu Fengyan is an extremely suspicious person, if he knows that Mencius Yan was arrested in the Criminal Department and has seen the emperor, but he came out intact and Liuyun Palace has not lost anything, what do you think he will think?" ”

"What would you think...... Qin Luo frowned and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up, "He would think that Mencius Yan betrayed him in order to protect himself and Liuyun Palace, and instead sided with the emperor's camp." ”

"Exactly." Feng Qing said wildly, "Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout, and before you know it, they will grow into a big tree that cannot be eradicated. ”

Qin Luo said worriedly: "Prince Kejin is an extremely shrewd person, can't he see that this is a divisive plan?" ”

"He must have thought of this, but although he is smart, he is also too suspicious, and it is impossible to trust Mencius Yan as much as before in the future, and then our side will cooperate to make some trouble, and their alliance will eventually collapse."

Lin Yitang no longer knew anyone in the capital, and it was impossible to enter the prison of the Criminal Department to see Mencius, so he had to wait anxiously in the inn.

As Feng Qingyan said, early on the morning of the third day, Mencius Yan was released.

Seeing that he didn't hurt a single hair, Lin Yitang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm scared to death, I thought the people from the Criminal Department would definitely torture you."

Mencius Yan was also very puzzled, after he came out of the prison, he had been thinking about this question, and he didn't understand it all the way, during this day and two nights in prison, the people of the criminal department interrogated him, and even took him to see the emperor.

However, both the Criminal Department and the Emperor asked some questions about him and Prince Jin, and even if he did not answer a single question, the Criminal Department did not torture him.

It's like just going through the motions.

"The Criminal Department has always liked to punish people, but this time it didn't use it on me, which is really strange."

Lin Yitang paused and said, "Maybe it's because he is afraid of Liuyun Palace's status in the rivers and lakes, so he doesn't dare to do anything to you, right?" ”

"Impossible, no matter how high the status of Liuyun Palace is in the rivers and lakes, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a small minion in front of the imperial court, where is it worthy of the fear of the criminal department?" Mencius Yan shook his head, "I suspect they have some conspiracy. ”

"That's hard to say." Lin Yitang didn't care, for her, as long as Mencius Yan was safe and sound, "No matter what, let's get out of here first, right?" lest the people of the government suddenly appear again, then they will not be able to leave. ”

Mencius Yan wanted to see Prince Jin, but thought that the imperial court was likely to send someone to follow him, so he dismissed this idea.

"Okay, let's go at once."

On the side of the palace, Mu Liancheng, as usual, was burying the first batch of reading folds in the imperial study.

Just as he was looking at the contents of the fold and felt a headache, Li Cocoon walked in with his waist hunched and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Prince Jin asks to see you." ”

"Prince Jin? What did he come to do? Mu Liancheng was not in a good mood originally, and when he learned that Mu Fengyan was still coming to disturb him, he became even more depressed.

Li Cocoon shook his head: "He refuses to say, he has to meet the emperor to meet you face-to-face." ”

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Mu Liancheng, who was full of gloom, and hurriedly added: "If the emperor is inconvenient to summon him now, the servant immediately asks him to come back another day." ”

"No need, another day." Mu Liancheng sighed and continued to look at the fold in his hand, "Call him in." ”

"Yes." Li Cocoon hurried out of the imperial study.

Not long after, there was another sound of footsteps, and it was Li Cocoon who led Mu Fengyan in.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jin has arrived."

Mu Liancheng didn't look up, only waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

Mu Fengyan raised his eyes and glanced at the person above, bowed and saluted: "See the emperor!" ”

"No courtesy." Mu Liancheng raised his head at this time, but he had an expressionless face, "You entered the palace today, is there anything wrong?" ”

"My brother has been in the capital for several years, and now my mother's body is much better, so I don't need to worry about it anymore, it's time to go to Lingchang to become a vassal, and I want to ask the emperor for permission."

"Go to Lingchang?" Mu Liancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Aren't you living well in the capital?" I haven't treated you badly, have I? ”

"Of course not, the emperor treats his ministers and brothers like a mountain, how can he treat them badly?" Mu Fengyan hurriedly explained, "Brother just doesn't want to cause you any more trouble in the capital, besides, Lingchang is my fiefdom, I should have stayed there, and it is unreasonable to always live in the capital." ”

Mu Liancheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said: "There is nothing wrong, I let you stay in the capital, you can stay in peace, no one dares to say anything, although Lingchang is a good place, but after all, it is not as good as the capital, you should not go for the time being." ”

"But isn't this a violation of the rules of the Great Yan Dynasty for a hundred years? The courtiers don't want the emperor to be blamed by the ministers for me, so it's better to go to Lingchang as soon as possible. Mu Fengyan was a little anxious.

"I said I don't have to go, I don't have to go, do you want to resist the decree?" Mu Liancheng looked at him coldly, giving people a condescending sense of oppression.

Want to go to Lingchang? Do you want to stay out of his sight and plot a rebellion? He wouldn't be so stupid!

Mu Fengyan knew that his mind had been seen through, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"Brother Dare." In fact, there is another reason why he wants to leave the capital, and that is to avoid rumors.

At present, there are many rumors that are unfavorable to him in the capital, and many people and ministers are talking about him, talking about his residence in the capital, and saying that he has bad intentions and has other intentions, so he wants to invite himself to Lingchang to stop these people's mouths, and, according to the plan, it is time to leave.

But he didn't expect Mu Liancheng to not agree.

"It's okay if you don't dare, Concubine Liu is old, she should live in the capital to retire, and it is inevitable that she will not be suitable when she goes to Lingchang, even if you can take her with confidence, I still don't feel at ease, so let's talk about it later."

Mu Fengyan saw that he had said everything, and knew that if he talked more, he was afraid that he would be angry, and it would be himself who would suffer at that time, so it would be better to come here temporarily.

"Since the emperor said so, the courtier had no choice but to obey his fate, and the courtier's brother retired first."

Looking at his back as he walked away, Mu Liancheng grabbed the teacup in his hand and his face became gloomy.

This Mu Fengyan really can't survive for a day.

After Feng Qingfang was injured, he stayed in the Guogong Mansion almost every day to recuperate, except for going out that day, and never went out again until the wound healed.

After the matter was completely settled, Feng Qingyan always wanted to thank Mu Liancheng well, but unfortunately, Mu Liancheng never came back after her injury got better.

Since he didn't come to see her, then she had to take the initiative to find him, so after thinking about it, Feng Qingfang decided to go to the palace tonight.

Of course, you still have to go secretly.

"Xiao Luo, lend me your token again, okay?"

Qin Luo turned his head and looked at her vigilantly.

"What do you want to do?"
