Yuan Hong walked out of the Li family's dormitory, and while boarding the imperial palace, he asked Sanbao and said, "I ordered you to check the matter of Fang Cai, but what is your whereabouts?" ”

Sanbao took a half step forward and replied: "Your Majesty, the slave has just inquired about the miscellaneous labor in the garden, and everyone said that Mrs. Li fell into the water, just when she was in trouble with the queen. ”

Yuan Hong frowned slightly, and said for a moment: "It's time for me to meet the queen." Sanbao hurriedly responded, and then ordered the chamberlain to go to the queen's bedroom.

Hearing that the emperor was in person, Empress Feng hurriedly greeted her. When Feng Shi saw that Yuan Hong's face was gloomy, he did not help him with his own hands as before, and only went straight inside, and Feng Shi expected that the emperor must have known about the affairs of the Yunlan Lake.

After Yuan Hong sat down on the seat, Chan Mei went inside to serve tea, and Yuan Hong waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat.

Seeing that Yuan Hong didn't say a word, Feng Shi was very worried in his heart, but he didn't want to break the matter of the Li family first, so he walked forward and looked at Yuan Hong, and said, "Your Majesty hasn't been to the concubine's dormitory for a long time, how can you come here today?" ”

Yuan Hong looked at Feng Shi and asked rhetorically, "How come the queen doesn't know where I came from?" ”

Feng knew that if he did not explain at this time, he would be guilty of defrauding the king. So he said carefully: "Your Majesty is here for Mrs. Li?" ”

Feng raised his eyes to look at Yuan Hong, and saw that his face was solemn, but he didn't say anything, so he knew that the emperor was waiting for himself to speak, so he continued to explain: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine." ”

Yuan Hong had already consulted the servants who rescued the Li family by the lake with the three treasures, and had already understood the ins and outs of the matter, and at this time, when he saw the Feng family open his mouth to explain, he did not have half of the concern for the Li family, and he was even more annoyed by it in his heart.

Yuan Hong looked at Feng's family, his eyes were blazing, and he said: "You are the queen of the Middle Palace, the head of the concubines." Now that Mrs. Li has fallen into the water, not only have you not taken care of her palace, but you have tried your best to prevaricate, such virtue, how could it be done by the queen of the middle palace? ”

Yuan Hong was so responsible that Feng Shi was terrified for a while, so he pleaded again: "Now that Your Majesty has given Mrs. Li the right to govern the palace, how dare the concubine enter and leave her palace at will. ”

Although Yuan Hong was suspicious of the cause of Li's fall into the water, he wanted to save face for Feng's family, but at this time, Feng's words were like this, Yuan Hong immediately lowered his face and said: "According to your words, who did I give the right to govern the palace, who is the master of the harem?" I wanted to save some face for you, but instead of knowing what you were wrong, you blamed me. I know that you have been strong since childhood, but I don't know that you don't even let me go. ”

Feng Shi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is speechless, and the concubine is guilty, but how can the concubine treat you with half a little disrespect!" ”

Yuan Hong snorted coldly and said, "As a queen, you should be polite and exemplary in the harem." Even if you are dissatisfied with the right to govern the palace given to Mrs. Li, you should not be jealous and hateful, and do harm to others. ”

When Feng heard that the emperor said that he had framed the Li family, he suddenly felt very aggrieved, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, you have a clear understanding, the concubine has never had the intention of harming others, so how can she harm others?" Mrs. Li accidentally fell into the water, how could she be wronged by her concubine. ”

Yuan Hong saw that he had no remorse, and he still made quibbles, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, and said: "The queen is feeling that I have wronged you?" It is true that Mrs. Li fell into the water, and it is also true that the two of you are arguing on the sidelines, if you didn't do it intentionally, could it be that she was killing herself? ”

Feng hated Li's design in his heart, and he felt even more aggrieved in his heart, so he said: "Mrs. Li is now in charge of the palace, so she has no one in her eyes, and she does not put the concubine as the queen in her eyes. ”

When Yuan Hong heard Feng's words, he felt even more sophistry, so he snorted coldly and said: "Don't say that Mrs. Li is the head of the third lady, and the concubine of Longxi is an ordinary concubine, and she will not belittle herself and deliberately fall into the water." Mrs. Li knows etiquette and etiquette, and her actions are even more thoughtful, I help you move the palace, not only do you not have half a sense of gratitude, but you are so poisonous, I really mistook you! ”

When Feng heard that Yuan Hong had wronged himself so much, he immediately burst into tears and said aggrievedly: "The concubine dares to act and dare to act, why do you have to admit what she has never done?" His Majesty is partial to faith, and does not allow the concubine to have half a chance to plead, how can the concubine prove her innocence! ”

Feng Shi didn't say anything, so Yuan Hong was even more annoyed in his heart. Yuan Hong was already slightly disappointed because of Feng's hypocritical behavior and harsh treatment of the palace concubines, but at this time, he saw that Feng had no remorse, and he felt even more disappointed in him.

So Yuan Hong sank his face and said coldly: "If I send everyone away, I will leave you with affection." However, at this time, I did not see any remorse on your partiality, and I still complained about acting partially. If you are not convinced, you can call everyone in the garden to confront you, but at that time, you don't have to blame me for ignoring your face as a queen. ”

Feng Shi wept and said, "Everyone saw that the concubine wanted to punish her, and it was difficult to argue with the concubine even if she had a hundred mouths at this time. ”

Yuan Hong didn't want to listen to his crying anymore, and said: "Since the queen is unable to prove her innocence, she can't blame you for her mistakes." Fortunately, Mrs. Li is not in danger, and it is also your creation. Thinking of the feelings of the former Empress Dowager, it is convenient for you to think about it behind closed doors in your palace. ”

After saying that, Yuan Hong wanted to get up and leave, Feng knelt in front of him, grabbed Yuan Hong's legs, and said with tears in his eyes: "Why does Your Majesty refuse to believe in concubines?" The concubine entered the palace at the age of thirteen, serving the former Empress Dowager wholeheartedly, and treating Her Majesty with deep affection, never deceived in the slightest. ”

looked up at Yuan Hong, and then his heart was crossed, crying: "If Zhaoyi causes Mrs. Li to fall into the water this time, what should Your Majesty do?" ”

Yuan Hong saw that he was so messing around, and he was even more tired in his heart, so he said: "Zhaoyi has a good heart, and he will never do such a vicious act." ”

Feng's heart became more and more sad and angry, and he couldn't care about his father's instructions, and cried: "Since Zhaoyi entered the palace in the winter of the old year, Your Majesty has only Zhaoyi in his heart and eyes, and he treats concubines harshly and picky in everything. The concubine is the queen of the middle palace registered by Her Majesty as the empress dowager, and she is also your wife, how can she not compare to a woman who is re-married? ”

When Yuan Hong heard Feng's words, he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Queen, you are at fault first, don't think about your own mistakes, and complain about the sky." As the queen of the Middle Palace, you poisoned your concubines, if it weren't for the kindness of the emperor's grandmother to raise and cultivate, how could I spare you. ”

Lowering his head and glancing at the Feng family, Yuan Hong continued: "Before leaving, the Taishi asked me to instruct me to take care of your niece in the palace after the palace moved to Luoyang. Now it seems that I really overestimate you, the prince's wife is the future queen of my Great Wei, and I will not allow her to be like you! ”

With that, Yuan Hong broke away from Feng's hand and waved his sleeves away.
