Chapter 22 Peach Dai Li (3)
Yuan Hong expected that Feng Xi would find Yuan Cheng, the king of the city, so he gave the opportunity to face early. Sure enough, Feng Xi rushed to Yuancheng overnight.
In the study, Yuan Cheng and Feng Xi sat opposite each other.
Yuan Cheng said: "The Taishi came to visit late at night, what happened?" ”
Feng Xi's face was solemn, and he said, "Please let the king of the city save the minister!" He got up and wanted to make a big salute.
Yuan Cheng hurriedly got up to help Feng Xi up, and pulled him to sit down with him, and said suspiciously: "Taishi Gui is the prince of the dynasty and the prince of the prince, why do you say this?" ”
Feng Xi sighed and said, "The minister has committed a heinous crime, and I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed." ”
Hearing this, Yuan Cheng looked at Feng Xi suspiciously, but did not say anything.
Feng Xi's face was solemn, and he stopped talking again, and only after ten flicks of his fingers did he continue: "Your concubine, she is gone." The minister was afraid of disturbing His Majesty's New Year's Day, so he concealed it and did not report it... The minister committed the crime of defrauding the king, and now he only asks the king of the city to show the way. ”
Yuan Cheng was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "Why did Madam die?" ”
"This, this..."Feng Xi said hesitantly.
Yuan Cheng sneered and said, "If the Taishi is unwilling to make it clear, this king will not force it, and this king will not be able to help." ”
Feng Xihu's old tears were rampant, and he said: "It's not that the minister doesn't want to talk about it, it's that the minister can't talk about it." ”
Yuan Cheng was shocked when he saw this, but he waited for Feng Xi to open his mouth without showing his face.
Feng Xi seemed to have something unspeakable, paused for a few moments, and said with tears in his eyes: "The noble concubine's wife has been recuperating in the minister's mansion for nearly seven years, who would have thought that she, she, and she would secretly communicate with Lang Zhong, who diagnosed the disease... It was not long before the minister realized that in order to protect His Majesty's honor, he killed the two of them with a cane. Tonight, His Majesty suddenly asked his wife, and the minister did not dare to tell the truth, firstly, such a filthy thing would be insulting to the saints, and secondly, it was also to protect my Changle Feng clan. It's not a pity for the minister to die, I just ask you to save the Feng family in the face of the former empress dowager. ”
That is, Yuan Cheng, who has been through two dynasties, mediated in the royal family, and came prepared, was also shocked when he heard it.
Yuan Cheng was silent, as if thinking about how to speak. After a long time, Yuan Cheng said: "Your Majesty is the pride of the sky, how can you allow such filthy things to insult the Holy Hearing." Now it can only be calmed down if it has not happened. ”
Feng Xi hurriedly said: "People can't be resurrected after death, how can it be that it hasn't happened?" The minister was puzzled and begged the king of the city to give advice. ”
Yuan Cheng shook his head and said, "What if Madame is still in the world?" ”
Feng Xi became more and more confused, looked at Yuan Cheng suspiciously, and only heard Yuan Cheng ask, "How many people know about the matter of your concubine?" ”
Feng Xi hurriedly replied: "Only her handmaid and the close servant who has been with her for 30 years know, and the handmaid also died of his wife." ”
Yuan Cheng nodded and said, "That being the case, Lone will point out a clear path to the Taishi." ”
Pengcheng Wang Yuanxian Xingyuan, the Taishi Feng Xi and his sons all live here. Yuan Xian and Feng Xi's eldest son, Feng Dan, grew up with the holy car since childhood, and several people ate and sat at the same table, and their feelings were different from others.
At this moment, Yuan Xian, Feng Xi and Feng Dan gathered in the main hall, and everyone was solemn, only listening to Yuan Xian's words: "According to what the Taishi said, the noble concubine and his wife died of illness half a month ago, and the Taishi is here today, which is really a big mistake." Although this king and ideological and political (Feng Danzi) grew up with His Majesty, the matter is big, and it is not allowed to be discussed! ”
Feng Xi said with a sigh: "Your Majesty cares about the feelings of the former Empress Dowager, although you forgive the lives of the whole clan, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped." ”
Feng Dan hurriedly said: "Father just met with King Rencheng, but what is the best plan?" ”
Feng Xi nodded and said, "Now Your Majesty favors a beautiful woman, but for some reason, Your Majesty has not given her a title for a long time." King Ren Cheng wants the old man to replace Li with a peach, and recognize this beauty as your sister. ”
Yuan Xian and Feng Dan looked at each other, and they couldn't answer for a while.
Seeing the two of them looking like this, Feng Xi continued: "Tonight is Baoxing (Feng Yuzi) on duty, and I have already sent him a letter and asked him to go to the queen to find out the details of that beauty. Now that the rise and fall of my Feng clan is tied to him, he must not act rashly. ”
Feng Dan hurriedly said: "Father is very worried, and my son will go to wait for news outside the palace." ”
Yuan Xun said solemnly: "The queen is in the middle palace, if she can get a good person, such as adding a right-hand man, if she is a scheming person, there is no doubt that raising a tiger is a problem, and the master needs to consider it carefully." ”
Feng Xi nodded, but fell silent.
When Empress Feng read the letter, she burned it with candles.
Chan Mei saw Feng's solemn expression, and asked timidly: "Queen, the lord sent a letter to the family with the third prince overnight, but what is the urgency?" ”
Feng Shi was a little worried: "My eldest sister went back to the house to recuperate for seven years, who would have thought that a few days ago, my father was afraid of disturbing His Majesty's New Year's Festival, and he never gave it. In this way, the father is guilty of deception. ”
Chanmei smiled and comforted: "The lord assists Your Majesty, and you are the prince's teacher, Your Majesty will definitely forgive." ”
Feng Shi said angrily: "The crime of bullying the king can be punished by the nine clans, and Your Majesty has not punished his father now, which is already a great grace of heaven." ”
Seeing this, Chanmei didn't dare to speak again. I only heard Feng Shi say: "My father didn't know why he asked in the letter about the details of the girl next to His Majesty, could it be that she instigated Your Majesty?" ”
Glancing at Chanmei, Feng continued: "You go and tell the third brother, what he knows and what I guess, but all the relationship between the relationship and the love of the girl is entrusted to the father." Early tomorrow morning, I will let my father come to my dormitory and talk about it face to face. ”
That night, everyone had no sleep.
