248 Shut up
Liu Yingshuang's face was slightly pale, she raised her head and made a look of crying, and wanted to defend herself, but she met the emperor's cold and unhappy eyes.
There is a saying: the wrath of the Son of Heaven ambushes millions of corpses and sheds thousands of miles of blood.
Liu Yingshuang's heart tightened, and she couldn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, those who don't know are not guilty, and I ask the emperor to forgive the minister's niece for the loss of honor in front of the king." Wei Yongxin withstood the burning eyes of everyone and pleaded for Liu Yingshuang again.
As he spoke, Cen Yin, who was behind the emperor's left, made a gesture quietly.
The next moment, a royal historian jumped out of the crowd and said righteously: "Your Majesty, since Lord Wei has confessed the crime of dereliction of honor in front of the monarch for this Liu girl, she deserves to be punished if she is guilty." β
Wei Yongxin's eyebrows tightened, and his eyes shot towards the imperial history like a sword, with hatred in his heart. These imperial histories are really like mad dogs, biting him to death.
The surrounding crowd was in a commotion even more, and most people didn't want to offend Wei Yongxin, so they sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, just watching a good show.
The imperial history doesn't know how many times Wei Yongxin has been impeached for not repairing the inner house, spoiling the concubine and killing his wife, but if this is usual, the emperor must have avoided the important and brought it lightly, and he will protect Wei Yongxin.
But during this period of time, this Liu Yingshuang has been in trouble one after another, and even in public, he just has to put on a faint hat, which is really an untouchable taboo for the emperor.
Since he ascended the throne, he has been conscientious, which has continued the prosperity of Xuanlong, and Wei Yongxin really doesn't even care about him for a cheap concubine.
Or has he been too tolerant of Wei Yongxin over the years, and he must be punished with a small punishment!
The emperor raised his hand to stop Wei Yongxin, who was about to speak again, and said lightly: "Yongxin, your niece's crime of misdemeanor in front of the monarch is irrefutable, and I will punish her with thirty boards today, can you be convinced?" β
Thirty boards?! Liu Yingshuang seemed to have been stabbed, her face was bloodless, and her delicate body was even more shaky.
Liu Yingshuang was frightened, and kowtowed to the emperor again and again: "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! β
The emperor's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and a cluster of flames ignited in his heart. How could he have taken her life!
As the emperor, he naturally would not talk to the niece of a mere concubine, and he said directly to Wei Yongxin: "Yongxin, since she was brought by you, today's matter, you will not escape the crime of teaching without a way, I will punish you for one year and demote you to one class." β
The more the emperor spoke, the more ugly Wei Yongxin's face became, and he knelt directly on the ground, his head bowed, "The minister knows his mouth." "Emperor Chrysostom said that even if he is unwilling in his heart, he can only be punished.
At this moment, a familiar male voice suddenly said aloud from the left: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister." β
A simple sentence made the atmosphere change subtly, just because the person who spoke was Geng Hai, the prince of the country.
Geng Hai walked out of the crowd with his head held high, walked straight to Wei Yongxin's side, and saluted the emperor with his fists: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this Miss Liu is not the daughter of Lord Wei, and this does not constitute a teaching ......."
Since the emperor ascended the throne, Geng Hai and Wei Yongxin, the two favored ministers of the Son of Heaven who have the skill of being from the dragon, have not fought openly and secretly on weekdays, so most of the people watching around thought that Geng Hai was going to fall into the well, but they didn't expect that he was going to intercede for Wei Yongxin, and they all looked at each other.
Geng Hai has his own plans in his heart, he and Wei Yongxin are both the emperor's henchmen and ministers, if Wei Yongxin is suppressed this time, it will be even more difficult for him to suppress Cen Yin in the future.
Geng Hai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, this punishment is fine." β
The emperor glanced at Geng Hai, Geng Hai pleaded for Wei Yongxin in public, and he always had to give this face, so the emperor pondered for a while and relieved: "Then according to what Wei Guogong said." β
Although the emperor gave Geng Hai face, he felt defeated when he thought about what had just happened, and even the lotus lantern in this lake felt dazzling, and he walked away in a bad mood.
The emperor left, and of course those concubines hurriedly followed, and a group of people left Cuiwei Garden at once.
Everyone in the garden saluted the holy car, and then looked at Wei Yongxin who was kneeling on the ground.
"Brother Wei." Geng Hai personally helped Wei Yongxin up, and persuaded him kindly, "You should also take care of your concubine." β
Geng Hai kindly posed as a big brother, but in his heart, he was a little disdainful of Geng Hai's style of loving children and spoiling concubines and destroying wives.
"Geng Guogong," Wei Yongxin looked at Geng Hai at this moment with a feeling of seeing the truth in adversity, and said with his heart and lungs, "My niece grew up in my family since she was a child, and she is regarded as a daughter, and she is carefully taught in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and archery, etc., and she is also talented and intelligent, and she stands out in everything." She's a little quick-tempered, and she's always been filial to me......"
Wei Yongxin has a lot of praise for Liu Yingshuang, but he just praised her to see her a few times in the world.
Of course, the other people who had not dispersed around heard this, and their expressions became even more strange. Many of them had also seen Wei Ruxian follow Liu Yingshuang's side like a maid and reluctantly let the other party call her, and couldn't help but look at each other, and said in their hearts: Could this Wei Yongxin be tricked by his concubine? !
"Uncle, you have to save me!" Liu Yingshuang, who was frightened, came back, walked over on her knees, grabbed the corner of his robe with tears in her eyes and begged, "How can I stand these thirty boards......" Her tears fell like rain.
"Frost, the emperor's order is difficult to ......"
This time, even Wei Yongxin was out of line.
The two little chamberlains came behind Liu Yingshuang, who was trembling, expressionlessly, and one of them said with a smile: "Lord Wei, our family wants to carry out the emperor's order, if there is anything offended, please forgive me." β
The chamberlain said politely, but the two of them were not polite at all, and skillfully restrained Liu Yingshuang left and right, and pulled them away directly.
"Shhhh
Liu Yingshuang's right hand was still grasping the corner of Wei Yongxin's robe, and she ripped off the corner of his robe at once.
Wei Yongxin didn't care about his robe at all, and watched with heart ache as Liu Yingshuang was dragged down by the two little chamberlains for execution, only to hear Liu Yingshuang's hysterical shouts gradually fade away......
Many people's eyes fell on the corners of Wei Yongxin's torn robe, and their expressions became more and more strange. There are a lot of strange things in the world, especially this year.
Han Xing didn't leave with the emperor, she happily ran to Duanmu to bite her ear.
She was very satisfied with the excitement just now, but she was almost not laughing, and sighed in her heart: This is really a twist and turn, and the climax is repeated!
"Cousin Scarlet, it's really exciting enough to write a playbook," Hanxing smiled and leaned into Duanmufei's ear and said, "Why don't you write a play book and give it to Jiusiban to play?" β
"Cousin Hanxing, if you write it, then I will be the first to read it." Duanmu couldn't help but smile with a smile.
What the purpose of this lantern festival is is not a secret, but Liu Yingshuang will know it after a little inquiry. Although my sister has laid out the game, it is an upright conspiracy, and whether she enters the game or not only depends on Liu Yingshuang herself. Her sister is bright and atmospheric, so she doesn't like to use any small means!
"No problem." Hanxing raised his chin triumphantly.
The two cousins were talking to themselves, and with this notice, the people around them gradually scattered towards all corners of Cuiwei Garden, including Geng Hai and Wei Yongxin, and Geng Tinglian, who was following Geng Hai, glanced back in the direction of Duanmufei before leaving the garden, frowning slightly.
Soon, the cousins' sides were a lot empty, and as there were fewer people, the surroundings seemed to be getting colder and colder, and the evening breeze blowing from the lake made Duanmu Fei couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Duanmu Fei was about to beckon Han Xing to go back to Zhilan Pavilion together, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the horse Feng Zhizhi walking towards Anping......
Duanmu Fei's heart lifted up suddenly, and he looked around for most of the time, but he didn't find any trace of Feng Yan, and he didn't know when he walked away.
No, she'll have to go over and have a look!
Duanmu Fei was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave, when he saw a round-faced palace maid running over in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Amber seems to be a little uncomfortable, she hasn't eaten for a day, and she has started pecking at her feathers......"
Han Xing's brows furrowed, his face worried, Duanmu Fei hurriedly said, "Cousin Han Xing, you go and see Amber." β
Han Xing was worried about her baby Amber, and hurriedly followed the palace maid with her skirt, Duanmu Fei looked at her back, and then turned around and walked quickly towards An Ping and Feng Yuzhi.
After a dozen or so feet, she heard Feng Zhizhi's calm and calm inquiry voice from the front: "Anping, how are you thinking about it?" β
Feng Yuzhi didn't see Duanmufei behind him, but Anping did.
Duanmu smiled at An Ping obediently and hid behind an osmanthus tree. Don't listen to indecent assault, but she is really worried that An Ping will really have an accident, and her life is at stake, even if it is "indecent assault", she will also listen to it.
An Ping also smiled at Duanmu Fei, but he didn't scream.
She looked at Feng Prezhi with a faint expression, her eyes were still clear, she looked at Feng Prezhi with her four eyes, and said coldly: "Feng Prezhi, who gave you the confidence to make you feel that you can threaten the palace?!" Fifteen years ago in Chongyang, the main palace was of course in the princess's mansion. Her chin was slightly raised, and her look of arrogance and arrogance seemed to say, what evidence do you have?!
Feng Yu stared at An Ping deadly, without blinking, his eyes bulged out slightly, as if he was about to breathe fire, but he didn't speak again for a long time.
Duanmu Fei looked at the clenched fists on the side of Feng Xuan's body, vaguely guessed something, his eyes flashed slightly, and his mind turned quickly.
If her judgment is correct, there should be no substantive evidence for that "handle", and he doesn't know where he heard some information, and some things indirectly confirm his guess in his heart, so he used it to threaten Anping.
An Ping probably saw it, and his rosy lips were slightly upturned, with a mocking smile.
The mocking smile and the contemptuous look seemed to light a flame in Feng Zhizhi's heart, and he was immediately enraged, and blurted out aggressively: "Anping, even if there is no evidence!" β
"If I say this in front of the emperor, do you want to see if the emperor can tolerate you?!"
"And if our Feng family has the merit of whistleblowing, we can also make up for it, and we will not be implicated!"
He became more and more excited, the green tendons in the corners of his eyes were throbbing, and he was like a tightened bowstring, or the next moment he released a sharp arrow to hurt someone, or the bowstring suddenly snapped......
In contrast, Anping was always so calm, standing elegantly by the lake, the duck-egg-green cloak on her body was blown up by the night wind, and the cloak hunted and fluttered, just like the fairy in the painting, cold and dusty, just standing there like this, she exuded a cold sense of alienation, as if she was going to return to heaven at any time.
Feng Yuzhi looked at An Ping stupidly, just wanting to learn from Dong Yong to keep the Seven Fairies by his side forever.
"Anping," he murmured, seemingly calming down a little more, and said in a soft voice, "I'm willing to risk being implicated for your sake...... Why don't you understand my mind? β
Feng Yuzhi looked at An Ping a few feet away affectionately, his eyes were incredibly soft, and when he was in the depths of his love, he couldn't help but take a step forward.
An Ping was unmoved, his expression became even more indifferent, and said: "Since you are afraid of being implicated, then let's leave!" β
This is not the first time that An Ping has mentioned peace and departure, but once again he was shocked and stood still, feeling as if he had been slapped in the face by An Ping again.
"Smack!"
The sound echoed heavily in his ears for a long time.
I don't know how long it took for Feng Yuzhi to come back to his senses, looking at Anping with both disappointment and anger, as if to say, Anping, you really don't know what to do!
Feng Yuzhi didn't say anything more, and left directly.
"......
A gust of wind blew, and the countless willow branches on the shore of the lake rattled, as if whispering, as if mocking the seal.
Anping didn't bother to look at Feng Yuzhi, and walked quickly to Duanmu Fei behind the osmanthus tree with a smile.
Now that the capital of the seal is gone, Duanmu Fei didn't hide anymore, poked his head out from behind the tree again, and smiled cutely at Anping.
"Scarlet, take a walk with the palace and enjoy the lanterns." An Ping looked at the starry lanterns in front of him, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his expression was very open-minded.
Duanmufei immediately nodded in response, took Anping's arm affectionately, and walked along the shore of the lake.
The lakeside is full of all kinds of lanterns, including rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns, cat lanterns, bird lanterns, carp lanterns, etc., all of which are floating in the gust of night wind.
As Anping walked, he asked casually: "Scarlet, did you hear what I said to 'him' just now?" Of course, the "he" that Anping said refers to Feng Yuzhi, and she doesn't think Duanmufei is an outsider, and she doesn't talk in circles.
Duanmu Fei was also frank and said "um".
"Scarlet, do you see anything?" An Ping asked again.
"Your Highness, you're talking nonsense." Duanmu Fei said affirmatively, saying half of it, leaving half of it.
If her guess was correct, An Fang was not only talking, but also deliberately provoking Feng Yuzhi.
Once Feng Yuzhi is angry, he will definitely find a way to "find" evidence to fight back against Anping...... He would even go to the person who delivered him the message, and as long as he followed this line, he would be able to find someone who was in collusion with Feng Zhizhi.
Although Duanmu Fei's answer was brief, An Ping could already see from her smiling side face that this girl probably understood.
"Scarlet, you're right!"
An Ping nodded happily and admitted it, feeling that his future daughter-in-law was really smart.
In comparison, the stupid son of his own family is really worried, he doesn't gather around his daughter-in-law to offer more courtesy, but stupidly raises a white fox, hey, he doesn't know how to please girls at all, he is really a monkey year to have a daughter-in-law!
At this time, Duanmufei suddenly stopped, pointed to a marquee hanging on a big tree a few zhang away, and said, "Your Highness, look, that's the marquee that I made with Feng Gongzi." β
The lantern hung high on a leafy plane tree, fluttering in the wind, only to see the orange-yellow candlelight casting the shadow of the paper-cut on the white lampshade, two black foals running and playing, chasing a strong black horse running in the front, the projection turned rapidly, and then it seemed that the black horse was carefully guarding the two foals in the rear.
This scene seems to be lively and cheerful, and there is a faint warmth.
An Ping looked up at this marquee in a daze, as if he had thought of something, his eyes flashed slightly, and his expression was a little complicated.
After being silent for a while, An Ping suddenly said inexplicably: "Ah Yan is a good boy!" β
At first glance, her words sounded like Wang Po selling melons and boasting about herself, but after tasting it carefully, you can also experience the loving heart and a deep sigh revealed in her simple sentence.
"Your Highness is right." Duanmu Fei nodded seriously.
No matter how Feng Yan treats outsiders and what others think of Feng Yan, for An Ping, he is definitely the best son! However, in her opinion, the eldest princess of Anping is better!
An Ping smiled when he heard this, it seems that his son's impression in Fei'er's heart is still rising!
Not bad.
An Ping invited while the iron was hot: "Scarlet, tomorrow you come to Changyue Palace to play chess with the palace, and the cook of the palace has learned a few new dim sum." βh
Duanmu Fei was about to agree, but suddenly remembered that she had promised to accompany Feng Yan to test the fire gun tomorrow.
Everything has a first come and a first come, so the next morning, Duanmu Fei obediently went out with Feng Yan, but she still ate the pine goose oil roll that Anping specially brought to her by Feng Yan, and only felt that this snack was sweet and soft, and her teeth and cheeks were fragrant.
She sighed again in her heart with satisfaction: The eldest princess of Anping is so good!
When the carriage stopped, Duanmu Fei was still biting a small half of the pine goose oil roll, and the next moment, he heard Feng Yan's voice from outside the carriage: "Duanmu Fourth Girl, it's here." β
Duanmu scarlet devoured the small half of the pine goose oil roll in his hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, stroked his dress, and got out of the carriage.
In order to test the fire, Feng Yan acted as a coachman, and Ben Xiao pulled back the carriage for them, and came to a green mountain and green water seven or eight miles away from the hunting ground.
After Duanmu Fei got out of the carriage, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously took a deep breath of the fresh air around him.
Feng Yan released the shackles on Ben Xiao's body, and let it play in the water by itself.
In fact, Duanmu Fei also came to play, and she almost couldn't help with the next thing, so she played with Ben Xiao on the side, while watching Feng Yan easily take the heavy wooden box with the fire gun from the carriage, open the wooden box, and take out the modified fire gun inside.
Feng Yan skillfully held the fire gun in his hand, and after a general inspection, he began to put on the iron pill, fill the gunpowder, and then aimed at an old pine in front of him.
Feng Yan took out a fire fold, and at the same time reminded Duanmu Fei: "Fourth girl Duanmu, cover your ears." β
Duanmu Fei didn't think much about it, a password, a movement, and obediently raised his wet hands to cover his ears.
The fire fold ignited the fuse, and the fuse burned rapidly.
Duanmu Fei counted silently: "One, two, three......"
Before the words fell, only a loud "bang" was heard, and the mouth of the fire gun was like a red fire dragon spewing out, and the fire dragon roared and shot out the iron pellet in the gun tube, as fast as lightning......
Duanmufei's line of sight almost didn't catch up, and then, there was a loud "bang", and the trunk of the old pine thirty feet away was shot through, and the iron pill hit another old pine in the back.
"Booming ......"
The trunks of the two old pines shook violently, and dense pine needles fell like rain.
Duanmu Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, compared to other weapons such as swords and arrows, the power of the fire gun was really strong.
After a while, there was another "bang", and the fire gun was fired again, and the smoke from the mouth of the fire gun gushed out, and another iron pellet with flames shot out like a meteor, and once again shot through the old pine in front neatly......
"......
The branches of the old pine shook more and more, like the weeds that shivered in the wind and rain.
Seeing that Feng Yan put down the fire gun, Duanmu Fei also put down her little hand, obviously covering her ears just now, but she still felt a little buzzing in her ears.
Duanmufei didn't care about this, and walked to the old pine that had been pierced through two holes with great interest, looked at it, and praised: "The lethality of the fire gun is really powerful!" β
Feng Yan also walked over with a cloak, "Zhen...... With the addition of the parts you designed to automatically add iron pellets and gunpowder, the gap between shots can be reduced to five breaths. β
Compared with the past, after each shot, iron pellets and gunpowder had to be manually refilled, and the utilization rate of firearms can be said to be greatly improved.
The foliage above was still shaking and swaying, and the two of them were bathed in a rain of pine needles.
Duanmu Fei was still staring at the two pine trees, thoughtful: the lethality of the fire gun is indeed powerful, but the shortcomings are still too significant, such as the need to ignite the lead requires three breaths, although the three breaths are short, but on the battlefield, maybe this "three breaths" again and again is the key to victory......
Duanmu Fei was so absorbed that she came back to her senses until Feng Yan put the cloak in her hand and put a cloak on her to block the pine needles that fell like rain.
As soon as Duanmu Fei saw that Feng Yan had condescendingly put a cloak on her, he was so frightened that he jumped up and forgot where he was, and crashed into Lao Song in front of him......
Feng Yan hurriedly reached out and grabbed Duanmu Fei's right wrist and dragged her in his direction.
Duanmu sneered, and threw herself into Feng Yan's arms like a milk swallow returning to her nest, and Feng Yan's other hand subconsciously helped her slender waist.
When each other's bodies touched each other's bodies, both of them froze and didn't dare to move.
It's so soft and so fragrant! Feng Yan's mind was almost blank, and he only felt a familiar scent of incense coming to his nose, this is a pint of incense in Jiangnan Pinxiangji, which used to be Ah Ci's favorite incense, and it was also his favorite!
He also smoked this incense today, he and Zhen Zhen really have a tacit understanding! Feng Yan thought with some excitement.
And Duanmu Fei in his arms seemed to be frozen, stiffened into a piece of icicle.
She's about to cry by herself! Why is she so stupid? Duanmu Fei almost raised his fist to beat his head, and a voice shouted in his heart: She...... SheβShe's really not throwing herself into her arms!
In just half a month, she first held Feng Yan's hand, then accidentally kissed his chin, and now she is hugging him again, will Feng Yan think that she is coveting his beauty? !
Duanmu Fei's mind accidentally appeared in the playbook The flower thief smiled at the girl's evil spirit, since ancient times, the flower thief will not end well.
Duanmu swallowed his saliva without tears, and said, "Seal ...... Feng Gongzi ......, "She really didn't mean it.
Before her words fell, Feng Yan took several steps back as if he had been stepped on and hurt his feet, and his sudden movement hit Duanmu Fei's already frightened heart like a hammer.
Next, isn't it time to settle accounts?!
What to do?!
Duanmu Fei's thoughts were in a mess, and the face of a certain savior appeared in his mind, and he said with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor: "Eldest princess...... Last night the eldest princess ......"
Under the gaze of Feng Yan's dark phoenix eyes, Duanmu was a little flustered and incoherent, wanting to say that Anping invited her to play chess last night, and Feng Yan had to save her life, but in Feng Yan's ears, he remembered another thing.
Feng Yan's phoenix eyes deepened slightly, and he said, "I heard my mother say that you heard it last night......"
The atmosphere froze, and the pine branches above stopped at some point, and time seemed to stop.
Feng Yan continued: "The day before yesterday, the person I sent to the capital to investigate came back, and I couldn't find out who 'he' had contact with before the autumn hunt. β
"I've asked the Dark Guard to keep an eye on 'him', and if there's any change there, the Dark Guard will report it immediately."
As he spoke, Feng Yan's eyes became deeper and deeper, and a sharp streamer flashed under his eyes.
"Feng Gongzi, even if you can't find anything for a while, there are actually a lot of ways to make the horse master 'unspeakable'......"
------Off topic------
The emotional drama of the boudoir is this style, which is quite cute.
"You and me, sweet and sweet" already has 5 million words of Ah Yue and Ah Yi, and continuing to write the same content is much easier for me, but it's not interesting, isn't it?
Love you guys!
