Chapter 15: Interrogation

With a 'snap', the four princesses took a step back after being beaten.

Ye Tingfeng's lips trembled, and his eyes were as red as beasts, "You forced Cai Xiang ...... to death"

The fourth princess covered the left side of her face that was slapped, looked at Ye Tingfeng and swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said in a dry voice, "One, an unfaithful minion, just a minion." ”

Ye Tingfeng suddenly laughed, she looked at the fourth princess and raised her eyebrows and said, "Li Qingshi, you have always been inferior to a minion." ”

The eyes of the four princesses were filled with hatred, and their teeth were gritted. Ye listened to what Feng said right, since she was a child, her status in the palace has not been as good as a high-class minion, and she has always been inferior.

"What if you don't? She's dead, I'm still alive. The fourth princess raised her head like a proud peacock.

"Compared with life and death with a minion, you are really good." Ye Tingfeng ignored Emperor Jianning, who was nailing himself and the fourth princess, took a step towards the fourth princess, lowered his voice, and said, "Li Qingshi, everything you have done will be ten times greater, and the price will be a hundred times higher on yourself!" ”

The fourth princess was stunned, bypassed the angry night and listened to Feng, and hurriedly left behind Mrs. Yu.

Ye Tingfeng looked at the blood stains that remained on the incense ding, his expression became trance, his brain was buzzing, and he couldn't believe that it was just a pillar of incense, and the incense was gone.

Wen Qing heard the news of Cai Xiang's death, but she didn't know how Cai Xiang died.

She watched Ye Tingfeng curl up on the bed after coming back, and didn't know how to persuade her.

I couldn't cry at night, and the sound of picking incense kept ringing in my head.

'Princess, slaves and maids are waiting for you. ’

'Princess, even if you have become a ghost, the slave and maid will wait for you. ’

'Princess, you told the slave to get out, and the slave and the maid won't get back. ’

Thinking about it, Ye Tingfeng felt that Cai Xiang seemed to be standing on her left and right, and the kind of energy that can make people angry in her heart is something that no one else has.

Ye Tingfeng sat up from the bed, looked at the unknown place in the dormitory and called, "Picking incense......

Wen Qing's tears fell suddenly, she reached out and clasped Ye Tingfeng's wrist, choked up, "Master, the incense is no longer there." ”

"Gone? Why did she go, and why didn't she come back? ”

Wen Qing bit her wrist and sobbed repeatedly.

Ye Tingfeng knew that Cai Xiang was dead, but he couldn't help but say stupid things. She kept her eyes wide open to keep the tears from falling.

It seems that as long as she cries, Cai Xiang will really never come back.

After a long time, I heard Feng whisper to Wen Qing, "Wen Qing, picking incense is not a good minion." In the past, if I told her to get out, she would get back. This time......"

Wen Qing finally couldn't stand it anymore, ran out of the dormitory with her mouth and nose covered, squatting in the corner and crying.

Litmus came in from outside, her face as calm as ever.

She walked up to Ye Tingfeng, handed a mud pill to Ye Tingfeng, and said, "Master, not long after you left, the letter from the valley lord arrived." ”

Ye Tingfeng nodded, reached out and took the mud pill in his hand and pinched it open.

Three words were written on the note, why.

The anger in Ye Tingfeng's heart suddenly rose, why didn't Wu Yue kill the fourth princess, why didn't she kill the real Princess Zhaoyue?

If Wu Yue had killed the four princesses earlier, how could Cai Xiang be forced to death.

After breaking the tea cup on the side of his hand, Ye Tingfeng went to tear the gauze tent on the side of the bed again.

Litmus hid far away, and listened to Feng smashing and making trouble at night.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the angry night listened to Feng finally calmed down.

Wen Qing walked in from outside, her eyes red and swollen. She said to Ye Tingfeng in a hoarse voice, "Princess, Imperial Doctor Hua is here." ”

Ye Tingfeng nodded, got down from the messy bed, and said to Qing with an indifferent expression, "Change my clothes." ”

I heard that Feng's illness was not serious, but I was worried recently, and I had attracted some wind and cold, so it would be good to take more medicine and recuperate.

After Imperial Doctor Hua left, Wen Qing instructed the palace people in the hall to clean up the dormitory and boil the medicine, while she herself lowered her head, not daring to let Ye Tingfeng see her red and swollen eyes.

In the early afternoon, Yao Yuan came back from outside.

Yao Yuan has been a slave in the palace for many years and has a wide range of interpersonal relationships, but he failed to inquire why Cai Xiang died, why Queen Qin had a fetal gas, and why Feng looked like this at night.

What's even more strange is that a palace maid died for no reason, and Emperor Jianning didn't even issue an order to punish anyone.

Standing still in front of Ye Tingfeng, Yao Yuan said to Ye Tingfeng, "Master, the dragon heir in the queen's womb has been saved, and now the emperor is in the Guan Ju Palace." ”

Listening to Kaede's faint humming sound at night, the buzzing brain barely thought about the problem.

Madam Yu blocked the news of the real and false princesses without leaking, and it was impossible for Empress Qin to know. Empress Qin's sudden appearance in the Qingxin Hall was an intentional move by Madame Yu.

If Empress Qin hurts the fetus because of this, it will be as she wishes in her heart.

"Mrs. Yu has been guarding the Guanju Palace, and after the queen wakes up, she will return to the palace." Yao Yuan said again.

"What about the woman beside Madame Jade?" Listening to Feng ask again, she wanted to know how Madame Yu arranged for the fourth princess.

Is it to let her take the place of Mrs. Zhaoyue now, or is there another way to do it.

Yao Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Is the master talking about Madam Yu's cousin?" went back to Lanlin Yuan with Mrs. Yu, saying that he would stay in the palace during this time and accompany Mrs. Yu. After a pause, Yao Yuan guessed, "Master, three young ladies have come into the queen's house, and Mrs. Yu must be panicked in her heart......

Ye Tingfeng nodded slightly, not understanding why Madam Yu did not disclose the identity of the fourth princess. She has already won, what else does she want to do?

Wen Qing came in from outside, holding a bowl of bitter medicinal juice in her hand. After handing it to Ye Tingfeng, he asked Qingdao, "Master, you drink the medicine, sleep for a while, and your head won't hurt." ”

"Headache?" Listening to Fengjing and asking Qingyi at night, I found that I had a splitting headache, and my right hand kept clenching into a fist, knocking on the back of my head.

Every time I knock it, my brain buzzes, and I am clear for a moment. If you stop and don't knock, your mind will be chaotic, and you won't be able to think about anything painfully.

Wen Qing had red eyes, scooped up the medicinal juice with a spoon and blew it cold, and sent it to Ye Tingfeng for her to drink.

Listening to Feng drinking tea obediently at night, he didn't feel any medicinal taste, just like boiled water.

After drinking, Ye Tingfeng knocked on his brain and said to Qingqing, "Prepare paper and ink." ”

After writing the words 'The real princess is coming' on a small piece of paper, I heard that Maple ordered Litmus to release the carrier pigeon.

After doing all this, Ye Tingfeng rose into a thick sleepiness. The eyes were hazy, and I watched Wen Qing change from one to two.

Ask Qing to see Ye Tingfeng's eyelids drooping down vigorously, and said to Ye Tingfeng, "Master, you can sleep for a while, Imperial Doctor Hua said that this medicine has the effect of sleeping peacefully." ”

Listening to Feng's sleep at night, I slept until the beginning of the lanterns.

When she opened her eyes and looked at the double lotus leaf candlestick burning in front of her, her nerves appeared in a trance for a moment.

The dormitory was empty, and the incense that used to sit on her footbed while she was asleep was not there.

As soon as I came up with the name of the incense, sadness suddenly came to my heart.

Ye Tingfeng buried his face in the embroidered pillow, biting his lip to prevent himself from crying, and his shoulders trembled.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Tingfeng suddenly stopped moving, and she smelled a strong smell of wine.

Cautiously, he stretched out his right hand and leaned out to the edge of the bed and felt a piece of fabric.

Holding it in his hand and dragging it to his side, until he couldn't pull it anymore, Ye Tingfeng raised his head from the embroidered pillow, looked up along the bright yellow robe in his hand, and saw Emperor Jianning with a calm face.

Letting go of his hand, Ye Tingfeng sat up, and looked directly at Emperor Jianning who was drunk with his bloodshot eyes.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Emperor Jianning took a deep breath, and said to Ye Tingfeng, "How much do you have to hide from me." ”

Ye Tingfeng shook his head, except that she married instead of the fourth princess, she didn't hide anything from him.

"Who the hell are you?" Emperor Jianning's eyes showed a painful dream, he held Ye Tingfeng's shoulder, and asked, "Li Qingshi is the real Princess Zhaoyue, you are a fake." Why are you pretending to be a princess? ”

If Ye Tingfeng simply wants to return to him, there are various ways. But she replaced the real princess Heqin, and this matter was revealed, affecting the diplomatic relations between the two countries and bringing endless trouble.

Ye Ting Feng looked at Emperor Jianning in amazement, and after a long time, he stopped smiling, "Wan Yan Zhe, do you think, why do you think I want to marry you by pretending to be a princess?" Biting his lip, Ye Ting Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Fine? Well, what a failure of my meticulous work......"

"I didn't say you were a fine worker." Emperor Jianning tried his best to keep his tone calm, but his voice was full of powerlessness.

said that Ye Tingfeng was not a meticulous work, and he himself couldn't believe himself.

The first thing that appeared in front of him was an assassin named Momei. During those two years, Momei tried all kinds of methods to kill him, and he spared no effort.

Later, Momei disappeared, and he thought she was dead, but she returned to him as a princess......

She said that she abandoned her status as a princess to kill him because of a dream she had when she was young. He believed it and was saddened by it. Even if the person in front of him doesn't want to give birth to an heir for him, he can bear it.

But right now, the identity of this princess is fake.

Listening to all kinds of love words that Feng had said to him before, it turned into panic in his heart. The beauty between the two people was woven one after another in his eyes at this time.

Now Emperor Jianning only wants to know who is listening to Feng in front of him, who is pretending to be a princess and coming to him, what is it for! “

"I'm just fine." Ye Tingfeng took down the hand that Emperor Jianning held on his shoulder, and said to Emperor Jianning with a straight face, "You are too smart, I can't find what I want with all my efforts, I can't restore my master's life, I can only ......"

Hearing this answer that was closest to the truth, Emperor Jianning stood up straight and chilled, "As a meticulous worker, do you have to do everything you can?" He even did not hesitate to dedicate himself to me, pretending to be happy......"

Ye Tingfeng raised his hand and gave Emperor Jianning a slap, closed his eyes, and roared hoarsely, "Wan Yan Zhe, you get out of me!" Get lost! Don't show up in my presence again, get out! ”

Listening to Feng's slap at night, it hit the self-esteem of the king. Emperor Jianning raised his right hand and glared angrily at Ye Tingfeng, who had messy hair and blood-red eyes in front of him.

After staring at each other for a long time, Emperor Jianning clenched his right hand into a fist and slowly put it down, gritted his teeth and walked outside the dormitory.

Ye Tingfeng suddenly laughed, laughed and laughed, cried, looked at the back of Emperor Jianning and asked, "I said I am a princess, do you believe me?" I said I didn't lie to you, do you believe it? ”

Emperor Jianning's body paused slightly, did not reply, and strode away.

Emperor Jianning went out for a while, and Wen Qing ran in from outside with a panicked expression. She came to Ye Tingfeng and handed her a handkerchief to Ye Tingfeng to wipe her tears.

"Master, the emperor is in a momentary anger." Wen Qing persuaded, "You ......"

Ye Tingfeng covered his face with a handkerchief, and after choking twice, he stopped his tears, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm fine." ”

Wen Qing's eyes became worried.

"How did the future generations of incense pickers do?" Ye Ting Kaede endured the buzzing in his ears and asked.

"Yao Yuan said that Gonggong Lu asked people to buy a thin coffin and bury ......"

There is no cremation, no mass graves, and there is a thin coffin to bury, which is already a great glory for the palace maid.

Ye Tingfeng raised his head, looked at the beautiful decorations above the dormitory, and said to Wen Qing, "Wen Qing, can you talk to her?" Does she still have family? ”

Wen Qing shook her head, she was with Cai Xiang, more to ask for embroidery, and rarely talked about Cai Xiang in Dashun.

"You tidy up the room where you picked the incense, pack some clothes and her usual things." Ye Tingfeng bit the tip of her tongue and said, "It's cold down there, and the incense picker is a Dashun person, and she is as afraid of the cold as me." ”

Wen Qing nodded, and tears fell again.

"Don't cry." Ye Tingfeng handed Wen Qing a brocade and said, "Picking incense is so good, I will definitely be reincarnated into a good family in the next life, unlike my ......."

The last three words, I heard Feng say very lightly at night.

Wen Qing nodded again, took the handkerchief handed over by Ye Tingfeng, wiped her tears, looked up and said, "The slave has gone to clean up her things." ”

It is very common for a palace maid to die in the harem. What's more, what happened in the Pure Heart Hall was known to only a few people.

On the sixth day of the second month of the fourth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning decreed that the six-pin beauty of Jin Zheng was the five-pin wonderful lady.

On the seventh day of the second month of the fourth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning stayed in Guanju Palace.

On the eighth day of the second month of the fourth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning issued a decree to canonize the concubine of Queen Qin.

Three holy decrees in a row easily drew the attention of the harem concubines to these newly sealed concubines.

On February 11 of the fourth year of Jianning, the first seven incense picking.

It is not allowed to burn paper in the harem, but after nightfall, he ordered people to place incense, candles and fruits in the courtyard of Fengyang Hall to pay tribute to the incense.

Wen Qing threw all the thick clothes she had collected from the incense picking room into the fire and burned them.

Ye Tingfeng squatted in front of the fire in a thick royal blue cloak, his eyes shining in the firelight. She bit her lip and threw the stacked gold ingots inside, and said viciously, "Cai Xiang, you disloyal minion, you said that you will come back to wait for me if you are a ghost." This princess has been waiting for seven days, and you don't even have a dream. ”

Although the gate of the courtyard of Fengyang Hall was closed, Yao Yuan still looked nervously there. He was afraid that he would be seen by the eunuchs who watched the night and cause unnecessary trouble.

Wen Qing saw that the things were almost burned, and said to Ye Tingfeng, "Master, it's cold at night, go back, your body is not well yet." ”

Ye Tingfeng threw all the remaining ingots into the fire, stood up and looked at the fire, took a deep breath, and turned back to the inner hall.

Behind him, Xiao Guzi's voice came, "Quickly sweep the ashes together, and transport them to the edge of the jade pool to be buried before dawn." ”

Sitting down on the beauty couch, Ye Tingfeng curled up his legs and took the tea cup handed over by Wen Qing.

Yao Yuan finished arranging things, walked in from the outside, and listened to Ye Feng to tell him where Emperor Jianning had gone today, and what happened to the concubines in which palace.

Listening to Feng at night is like listening to other people's business, and he doesn't leave a deaf ear to these.

After Yao Yuan stepped back, Wen Qing took out a small lilac bag from the table on one side.

After putting the small burden in front of Ye Tingfeng and opening it, Wen Qing said in a low voice, "Master, this was found from the room where the incense was picked. ”

Ye Tingfeng put down the teacup and fell on the burden.

In the baggage, there are small belly pockets of various colors. Pink, yellow, baby green, embroidered with auspicious patterns, and a few pairs of small uppers, some for boys and some for girls.

Ye Tingfeng rested his chin on his knees, and his hand stroked the things that were embroidered with the stitches and threads of incense.

She always saw Cai Xiang sitting there embroidering, but she never paid attention to what Cai Xiang was embroidering. Sometimes I asked Cai Xiang to help her embroider something for others, and Cai Xiang was always reluctant.

Wen Qing clasped her hands tightly together and said, "Cai Xiang said that it was a matter of time before the master gave birth to the emperor's heir, so I have been preparing." The princess and princess have ......"

Listening to Feng's faint voice, he looked back at Wen Qing, and said with a wink, "But, I don't have children, isn't the things embroidered by picking incense going to be put on hold in vain?" ”

"The master and the emperor are angry, only temporarily." Wen Qing lowered her voice and said, "In the past, when I was in the palace, the emperor and the master were always angry, but when was it not all good after being angry?" In the two years since the master entered the palace, the emperor and the master have also been noisy...... The emperor has a master in his heart......"

"The emperor has me in his heart?" Listen to Feng at night and gently recite the words of Qingqing.

After tasting and tasting, Ye Tingfeng felt that there was some truth in asking Qing's words.

If Emperor Jianning didn't have her in his heart, he wouldn't have confirmed in his heart that she was a meticulous worker, and he would still let her go.

didn't ban her feet, didn't punish her in any way, even when she slapped him angrily, he didn't lift a finger in anger.

In the matter of the real and false princesses, there is no conclusion.

Her life has no impact on the past, and when others see her, they still have to call her Mrs. Zhaoyue.

"Q Qing, do you think I'm a little willful?" I heard Kaede ask softly.

Calm down and talk about it in her heart, if she suddenly knew that the lover she had been facing for two years was a bad man and a killer who wanted to put herself to death, she would definitely not be as indifferent as Emperor Jianning.

Like, if Wan Yan Zhe in front of her was incarnated as the Jianning Emperor in the previous life, she would pick up the dagger and insert it into his heart.

But her current situation can't be explained clearly to Emperor Jianning. Not to mention that Emperor Jianning, who was angry, would not believe what she said, even she herself couldn't believe it.

The Great Moon Kingdom is a very mysterious witch family, why would they help the five princesses of the Great Shun Kingdom to intercept the peace and honor guard of the four princesses of the Great Shun Kingdom, and then replace them?

Wen Qing nodded repeatedly, relieved that Ye Tingfeng finally recognized her willfulness.
