Chapter Ninety-Four
Suddenly, a guard came to the Feng Patriarch and whispered something. Although Patriarch Feng's face did not change, those who followed him could still clearly see a trace of pain flashing in his eyes. He said to the queen, "I think it's better to pause this matter for a while, and find out what the people who came to this garden today were doing at the time of the incident." ”
The queen mother looked at Patriarch Feng noncommittally, and did not stop the actions of her subordinates. He casually instructed the maid to inquire about the records of those present one by one.
Patriarch Feng's face was a little unbearable. However, most of the people present were women, and most of them were juniors. He doesn't lose his temper. I had to endure my anger and said to the queen, "Even if Yang'er really brought any forbidden items." That doesn't mean anything. It's not uncommon to take some self-defense items with you when you go out. I'm sure anyone here will bring some special drugs or sharp weapons, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"
Indeed, no one can refute this. Although most of the people present were women, they would bring one or two self-defense items with them. However, Patriarch Feng blamed everyone for this matter, and naturally some people were dissatisfied. A girl in red came out and said, "Uncle Feng." You're not right. We all have self-defense items, but that's just in case. But those that Feng Guanqing brought were all harmful items. And the niece believed that none of the women present would bring that kind of indiscriminate medicine. It is impossible for even those village girls to bring such obscene things to other people's homes. To say that at this point, Miss Feng is really a maverick. ”
Her expression was respectful and gentle, but the words she said pierced people's hearts. She is the queen's other daughter, Mo Mulan, and also a good friend of Jun Wuji. I believe that everything that happened at the banquet today will spread throughout Shengjing in a few hours. Those who know will definitely say that the Feng family has no tutor, so there will be such a scandal. But I don't know what to think? will feel that the queen's mother's inattentive hospitality and poor guards will lead to such a thing, and maybe they will sympathize with the Feng family's plight in a daze, after all, it is an indisputable fact that their eldest son died.
But in this case, it is too unfair to the queen mother. That's why she dared to risk saying such a thing. If it were in normal times, she would never dare. But if something like this happened to the Feng family, I believe that in the future, the reputation of the family will plummet. If something happens again, maybe it will be replaced by the Ji family, which is now developing rapidly.
Patriarch Feng was so angry that his face turned pale, he curled his eyes slightly, and watched Mo Mulan's eyes become sharper.
The field became silent, and some timid people didn't dare to breathe. Some of the more daring ones looked at Mo Mulan with admiration, as if they admired her a little.
Changning secretly showed sympathy for Mo Mulan. The Feng family is also a big family that has been inherited for thousands of years. I don't know how many winds and waves I have passed? It's a little bit of a small thing for them, though, in terms of reputation. But in terms of strength, he can't even hurt his muscles and bones. I believe that Mo Mulan will soon be unlucky.
The queen mother saw that the situation was not right, glanced at Mo Mulan with warning eyes, and said, "Miss Feng is now being killed by a traitor and is delirious. You also need to recuperate. Why don't you put her in place first, and then we can continue? ”
Patriarch Feng coldly rejected the queen's kindness, "No need. ”
Soon the searching guard returned, still holding a tray in his hand, apparently also finding something special. It's just that it's covered with a cloth, and I can't see what it is.
"What are they?" The queen asked in a dignified and calm tone.
The guard lifted the tray open. Some of the older girls immediately blushed. There are also some younger ones who show the same ignorant expressions as Changning.
The Empress Mother immediately frowned and looked at the Feng Patriarch. Patriarch Feng's face turned a little red. He didn't expect to find these things from Feng Guanyang's room. Naturally, these things can't be pre-existent. Feng Guanyang should have brought it in from outside this morning.
Banquets will only be held during daylight hours. He actually prepared......
Now Patriarch Feng himself is a little unsure, does he really know Feng Guanyang? His excellent heir, the eldest son who has never let him down. It's such a thing? Is it because he's hiding too deeply, or is he getting old? He glanced at the second son next to him with an incredulous expression, feeling disheartened. Walking out with the eldest daughter who had become very nervous and scared because of the atmosphere, he said to the queen as he walked, "Leave the matter here to the queen." ”
Changning watched his somewhat gloomy back slowly walk away, and then asked Wen Xu in a low voice about his doubts, "He plans to leave it like this?" ”
"Probably not. Now he doesn't take care of it, so that's it for now. However, it should still be checked in private. Wen Xu lowered his voice and said in Changning's ear.
"What did you just find?" Changning asked curiously.
Wen Xu's face turned red instantly, he naturally knew it, but he didn't know how to tell Changning. However, he thought that these things were intended for Feng Guanyang to use after designing Changning, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The eyes that looked at Feng Guanyang's corpse became extremely fierce, as if he wanted to rush forward immediately and tear him to pieces.
"Since there's nothing going on here, let's disperse as soon as possible." The queen said to everyone in a somewhat regretful voice, "Today's matter here has not yet come to fruition, I hope you don't spread the word." If there are any rumors about this matter, no matter who everyone present, this palace will not let him go, and I believe that the Feng Patriarch will not master those who like to spread rumors. You have to keep your mouth shut. ”
Everyone wanted to leave this place of right and wrong for a long time, and when they heard the queen say this, they naturally couldn't ask for it. It's just that she is a little worried about the threat behind her, but she only dares to think about it in her heart. But he replied respectfully, "Yes." ”
The queen mother nodded, her face became kind again, and her voice became soft, "I wanted to invite everyone to have fun today, but who knew that such a thing would happen." In order to apologize, I specially asked people to prepare some gadgets for everyone, so as not to leave empty-handed, and I hope everyone can like it. ”
After she finished speaking, she motioned to the maids next to her to bring her things. After the maid had finished distributing the things, she said, "This palace has gone first." Then he took a large group of guards and maids and departed first.
When she was leaving, she deliberately looked in the direction where Wen Xu and Changning were, and cast a meaningful glance at the two.
Changning knew that things couldn't really go so smoothly, but he was still a little uneasy. She and Wen Xu glanced at each other. tacitly pretended not to see. Now the queen should have no evidence in her hands, and she definitely can't admit this matter first, so she can only wait for her to make a move.
After the queen disappeared from sight, the ladies also left.
Because everyone was Changning and Wenxu were not familiar with each other, they didn't say hello. The little girl named Wen Xu's cousin originally wanted to talk to Wen Xu, but because Wen Xu ignored him, and the other girl next to her didn't seem to like her to socialize Wen Xu like this, she desperately pulled her out and walked out.
Only Bai Lanzhi said to Changning before leaving, "Sister Liu, if you have time, you must go to Baifu to sit down." ”
After Changning smiled and nodded in response, Bai Lanzhi left with the maid. Changning had the opportunity to see the items sent to him by the maid. It is a small porcelain vase with a pill inside. Changning looked for a more professional Wen Xu, "What kind of medicine is this?" ”
"It's a beauty pill, eating this can make people ten years younger. I don't know where the queen found the pill practitioner and medicinal materials, and she actually took out so many pills at one time, which is really a big deal. Wen Xu said thoughtfully.
The two parted after leaving the party. Changning returned to Liufu. Listening to the report, the uncle was waiting for him in the study. He walked briskly to the study.
"Uncle, are you looking for Ning'er?" Changning asked after knocking on the door and entering.
"Sit down." Liu Wenchang sat at the top and asked Changning, "Nothing happened to go to the banquet today, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"
Changning looked at Liu Wenchang in surprise, "Didn't Uncle receive the news?" Something big is happening over there. ”
Liu Wenchang did not receive the news. Because his own forces are not in Shengjing, the information about Shengjing is always not so timely. I just stared at the report of the spies at the banquet, and the atmosphere there was extremely weird, but because I didn't dare to get closer, I didn't get any definite news. He asked, somewhat worriedly, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Changning thought for a while, not sure if it was necessary to tell the uncle about killing Feng Guan Yangdi. She pondered and said, "The heir of the Feng family was killed this morning, and Feng Guanqing, the daughter of the Feng family, was also present at the scene. Traces of ** were found at the scene, and some ** drugs were later found in the room where Feng Guanqing lived. Now the queen is investigating the matter. ”
Liu Wenchang was stunned, and he asked in surprise, "There was a human death?" ”
"Yes." Changning lowered his head and replied calmly, but he was secretly calculating in his heart. If this matter is told to the uncle, will the uncle be on his side.
"The Feng family has really been ...... over the years" Speaking of this, Liu Wenchang didn't know how to continue, in order to deal with the He family, he had been friends with the Feng family all these years. Although they have some defects in their personal morality, they are just as shrewd and fair in official matters and are good partners. But when he thought of his sister's situation, he had to come to Shengjing, and he just happened to determine whether he wanted to cooperate with the Feng family again.
He looked at his young niece, organized his words and said, "We all know what Feng Guanyang did to you before. So I've been secretly investigating them. Unexpectedly, I found out that your aunt was actually taken out of the cup by them. ”
