Chapter 64: Is the Lord Concerned About Me?
Feng Lingye glanced at her, a trace of weakness in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Okay, Xiaoyue, you stay and take care of Green Lotus, and Tao Yao will go with me first." Feng Lingye said lightly as if he hadn't noticed.
Green Lotus seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
So, Tao Yao took all the luggage, and together with Feng Lingye, she went to join the large army first, and then Gong Jiyue helped Lu Lotus back to Qiufeng Garden.
When he came to the door, Zhuang Nanyan also walked over deliberately and glanced behind Feng Lingye, "Sister, where are Green Lotus and Xiaoyue?" ”
"Green Lotus has something to do, so I asked Satsuki to take her back." Feng Lingye replied calmly.
Zhuang Nanyan bowed slightly, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, why don't we go first?" ”
Feng Lingye had no objection, got into the carriage prepared by Zhuang Nanyan, and then the ladies happily embarked on the journey.
Four or five carriages, guarded by the government soldiers, made their way out of the city smoothly.
Driving on the wide mountain road, seeing that there were no pedestrians around, the aunts and maids curiously lifted the curtains and breathed in the fresh air of the suburbs.
Although the weather was hot, it couldn't stop them from playing, and when they passed a small forest, Zhuang Nanyan proposed that everyone get off the car and rest, and the women who couldn't hold back their curiosity couldn't wait to get out of the carriage.
Last time they didn't have a chance to come out to play, this time they were able to come out, which was also a fulfillment of their wish.
Tao Yao stood in the woods, the sun shining on the leaves, casting mottled shadows, she stretched out her hand, the shadow was cast on the palm, she smiled at Feng Lingye: "Sure enough, it's still cool in the suburbs."
"Come on, there's a stream over here!" Not far from the forest, a man shouted in surprise.
When the women who were sitting on the ground to rest in the cool heard this, they quickly approached curiously.
When Tao Yao saw it, she was also a little eager to try, "Princess, let's go wash our faces too, right?" ”
After being bored in the capital for so many days, it is time to come out for a relaxing game, Feng Lingye smiled, so he walked over with Tao Yao.
Sure enough, there was a small stream that crossed the grove, and the clear water flowed over the stones, and you could even see the fallen leaves and small fish on the stones.
Everyone rushed to the stream, bowed a handful of water, and washed their faces, and the running and fatigue along the way disappeared into the cool stream.
After washing his face, seeing that there was no one around, he took off his shoes and socks directly and entered the water to play to his heart's content.
One took the lead, and the two followed, and in a short time a group of women stepped into the water and frolicked, splashing water on each other.
Even Aunt Hua and Yuzhen, who have always been calm, couldn't help but take off their shoes and socks, sit by the stream and put their feet in the stream.
Tao Yao saw it and wanted to remain reserved, but seeing that the opportunity was rare, he hesitated for a while and went into the water.
Feng Lingye knew that she wouldn't be able to walk for a while anyway, so she sat down next to Aunt Hua and Yuzhen, and soaked her feet in the water together.
Only Zhuang Nanyan and Xi Xueyao stood on the shore and did not enter the water.
Xi Xueyao looked at this group of women who didn't know how to restrain herself, and said indignantly: "Sure enough, they are all lowly goods from some poor and remote places, they have never seen much of the world, and they actually do such an unseemly thing in broad daylight!"
Jian Luo originally wanted to go over, but when she heard Xi Xueyao scolding like this, she had to break off this idea and looked at everyone playing in the stream with envy.
After waiting for a long time, and not waiting for the person who should come, Xi Xueyao couldn't help but lose her patience a little, "Sister Qin, why hasn't there been any movement yet?" ”
"Wait a little longer." Zhuang Nanyan said calmly.
Xi Xueyao looked at her calmly, presumably it was just a delay on the road, so she had to continue to wait, but standing on the shore and her mouth was dry, especially looking at the women who were having fun in the stream, her heart was even more angry.
Next to the stream, Aunt Hua glanced at the two people in the forest, pretending to be chatting, and asked Feng Lingye with a smile: "What are they waiting for?"
"Wait for a bunch of people who won't come back." Feng Lingye smiled faintly, and nodded at the small fish that bit the instep of his foot, "I'm afraid that in a while, we will go back to the house." ”
Tao Yao happened to come over, with a playful smile on her face, and asked casually, "Why do you want to go home?"
"Because you're so skinny." Feng Lingye also smiled and then replied.
Tao Yao stuck out her tongue and was about to turn around, only to see a puddle of water behind her, which splashed on her chest coldly, she immediately laughed and scolded, and immediately joined the battle of playing with water excitedly.
About an hour of incense has passed, and even Zhuang Nanyan is a little uneasy this time, especially looking at Feng Lingye's leisurely and complacent demeanor, he feels more and more that things are a little strange.
But the arrow had to be sent again, so I could only wait for death.
Just when everyone was playing about the same, put on shoes and socks on the shore, and was about to urge Zhuang Nanyan to continue on the road, suddenly, a fast horse quickly rushed over and went straight to Zhuang Nanyan, and the comer dismounted and knelt on one knee, with a serious and dignified expression, "Oh no, Concubine Qin, the prince ordered you to go back to the city immediately, there is an accident in the palace!" ”
Zhuang Nanyan's face sank, "What's wrong?" "How could something happen to the palace?
The guard said: "It is said that the four princes have caught a group of remnants of the Xia Kingdom, and one of them is actually a maid from the palace, saying that he will take the prince into the palace immediately to face the saint."
Zhuang Nanyan's expression was shocked, and she hurriedly looked at Feng Lingye not far away, and immediately frowned, incredulous, how could she know all this in advance?
"Concubine Qin, let's go?" The guard reminded.
Zhuang Nanyan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Let's go!" ”
So, all the aunts and maids who didn't know about it returned to the capital again, although they knew that something happened to the palace, but they were still a little reluctant, and finally went out of the city, so they went back, it's a pity.
As the team quickened its pace, it only took half the time it took to rush back to the palace.
When Zhuang Nanyan and Xi Xueyao entered the palace with a nervous heart, they only heard the housekeeper say: "The prince has already entered the palace with the four princes, and after verification, the maid is indeed from our palace, called Zilu."
When Xi Xueyao heard this, she almost fainted, but fortunately she was helped by Jian Luo.
Zhuang Nanyan clenched her fists tightly and slowly let go again, this time she not only lost, but also harmed the prince.
Immediately, she immediately looked at Feng Lingye angrily, but she didn't expect her to collude with the four princes!
Feng Lingye looked at her and couldn't wait to strangle herself, but instead smiled, "Sister, what's wrong?" The four princes have a merit in arresting the remnants of the Xia Kingdom, and Zilu may be there to expose their whereabouts, so catching Zilu may be a misunderstanding, and the prince will be fine. ”
"I hope so." She sighed faintly.
At this moment, Zhuang Nanyan actually had a feeling of exhaustion, as if she was a clown, no matter what she did, she could know in advance, but why did she have such powerful intelligence, could it be His Royal Highness the Prince?
Here, after Xi Xueyao came to her senses, she immediately grabbed the housekeeper and asked, "What about the prince?" If the emperor really thinks that Zilu has colluded with the remnants of the Xia Kingdom, what will happen to the prince? ”
"This ...... I don't know if it's a little one. The butler frowned.
Xi Xueyao let go of her and looked at Feng Lingye with grief and indignation, her eyes were like sharp knives, she was not from Xia Guo, she even calculated her own people, she was a madman who didn't recognize her six relatives!
"It's a good thing that the four princes have arrested the traitorous party, why are everyone crying and mourning, and they are still blowing their noses and glaring at me?" Feng Lingye asked with a smile.
Zhuang Nanyan was a little tired and didn't want to say anything, so he was helped back to Lanxiang Pavilion by Jian Luo.
Xi Xueyao glared at Feng Lingye fiercely, "Something happened to the prince, and the people in the entire palace can't escape, so don't think about it!" ”
After the cruel words, she also left.
Feng Lingye smiled, as if he didn't care, how could Duan Junmo say that he would fall, this time it was just a warning to him.
At this time, in the Xuanzheng Hall in the palace, Zilu and a black-clothed leader were tied up by Wuhua and knelt on the ground, and Duan Rui and Duan Junmo stood on both sides.
Sitting on the dragon chair was the Ninety-Five Emperor who held the power of life and death, he looked at the two people kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face, holding the dragon chair tightly with his hands, gritting his teeth, and just looking at them quietly.
"Father, the sons suspect that not only this time they planned to assassinate the princess, but the last time they hunted, it may have been because this maid was in harmony with him that day's tragedy happened!" Duan Rui said solemnly.
The emperor's tone was cold, "Go on." ”
Duan Rui nodded, "Because last time the princess asked her personal maid to save her father and disrupt their plan, this time there was a plan to assassinate the princess!" ”
"It's not like that!" Zilu hurriedly stopped him and said, "The last hunt was just a coincidence, and what happened this time was done by me alone, all because she Feng Lingye murdered my master, which separated me from my master and suffered a lot, so I ...... with the people of the Xia Kingdom."
"The emperor doesn't have permission, how can you speak?" Duan Rui looked at her coldly.
"Does the fourth brother know the whole story better than her?" Duan Junmo calmly met his eyes, not feeling flustered or nervous at all.
I saw an inkstone, slammed it from a high altitude, and fell to Duan Junmo's feet, and the ink instantly splashed half of his body.
"When is it now, do you still want to protect your own people?!" The emperor stood up angrily, his voice hoarse and low, "This is a conspiracy to commit treason!" This is collusion and disorder! This is a rebellion! ”
Duan Junmo pursed his lips slightly and did not speak.
At this time, Zilu was too frightened to speak, and the ink splashed her face, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly, embarrassed and humble.
The emperor paced two steps on the high platform, his chest rose and fell violently, and he couldn't wait to take the opportunity to deal with Duan Junmo immediately, but because of the military power in his hands, he finally had to endure the monstrous anger and pointed at Duan Rui, "This matter will be handed over to Dali Siqing immediately, you will help from the side, and you must find out the matter!" ”
"The retainers obey!" Duan Rui bowed his head, and then immediately led someone to bring Zilu and the black-clothed leader down.
Duan Junmo also bowed to the emperor and retreated expressionlessly.
The emperor held his forehead tightly, only to feel a splitting headache, and stopped at Gonggong Hai beside him, "Imperial Doctor Xuanzhuang!" ”
When Gonggong Hai saw that he had a head disease again, he hurriedly went down and called someone.
After arriving at Dali Temple, Dali Temple Qing immediately came out to greet him, and then temporarily detained the prisoner, and after seeing Duan Junmo, he suddenly felt a headache.
Dali Temple in Dali State, unlike the Criminal Department in the hands of Duan Junmo, took over all major cases, but Dali Temple specializes in trying cases sent by the emperor, and it is also supported by the emperor himself.
Although the two departments have nothing to do with each other, they have actually been fighting openly and secretly.
I didn't expect to take the case for a long time, this case is a sworn enemy, and it is such a big case.
"The emperor said that adults don't have to worry, and all cases will be tried normally." Duan Rui said on the side.
Dali Siqing glanced at Duan Junmo, and had to go down to trial, so he first pulled the black-clothed leader to the torture hall, inquired about it, and even killed him without saying a word, and finally fell into a coma in pain, so he had to be re-imprisoned.
Then, it was Zilu's turn to go to the court.
Zilu glanced at Duan Junmo tremblingly, and then knelt in front of Dali Siqing, "My lord, the suitable slave maid also said in front of the emperor that this matter was done by the slave and maid alone, and the slave and maid hated the princess Feng Lingye, and knew that the assassins of the Xia Kingdom hated her on the day of the hunt, so they secretly found them, and then they should work together to get rid of her!" ”
"You little maidservant girl actually want to murder a princess, so bold, you must be instructed by someone, say! Who's behind you?! Dali Siqing asked.
Zilu hung her head and closed her eyes, with a great momentum of generosity, "Feng Lingye everyone gets and punishes it, and the slave can do the right thing for the sky, this is for h2."
