Chapter Fifty-Six: The Widow of the Li Family
In the evening, the candles in the Fengming Hall were bright, and Zhou Qiang'er specially asked the imperial dining room to make a table full of dishes, all of which were put in front of Nannan, but Nannan has not moved a single chopstick until now.
"Eat quickly, don't wait for your imperial brother, Your Majesty is busy until late every day......"
Zhou Qiang'er put a chopstick dish in Nannan's bowl, but Nannan shook her head and pushed the bowl away, "I miss Sister Feiya......"
"Nannan, you can eat first, I've already asked someone to look for your sister Feiya, and I'll bring it over as soon as I find it, okay?"
"Don't! I want Sister Feiya to eat with me......"
Zhou Qiang'er coaxed Nan Nan softly, but Nan Nan still didn't follow, saying that she wouldn't eat if she couldn't see Sister Feiya.
Zhou Qiang'er was also helpless, so she had to order someone to urge Cao Huachun to look for it quickly, while coaxing Nan Nan to eat: "Eat quickly, the food is not delicious when it is cold... Look at how big these four happy balls are... Wow... This smells so good...", but the girl was unmoved.
Zhou Qiang'er found out that children are sometimes not so worry-free, and they are really temperless when they are stubborn.
Just when Zhou Qiang'er didn't know what to do, Ma Jin stepped into Fengming Palace.
"What's the matter, you haven't eaten so late...... Didn't you say you didn't have to wait for me? ”
Ma Jin let the palace maid unload the big hat for him, and looked at the angry girl at the dinner table with a smile.
Nan Nan looked at the palace maid who followed closely behind, her eyes lit up, and her little short legs ran fast, and she threw herself into her arms:
"Sister, where did you go?"
The woman gently stroked Nannan's little head, and said with a smile: "Sister is fine, my sister has something to go out, I didn't expect our Nannan to become a princess?" ”
"When I woke up, I became like this...... "Xiao Nannan waved her hand helplessly.
The woman was tall and beautiful, wearing a plain white palace dress, but her face was a little pale, and she was Li Feiya.
"It's your brother and I, who got her back, aren't you surprised?" Ma Jin half-squatted down and touched Xiao Nannan's head.
"Huh? Aren't you that little gold? Xiao Nannan blinked in surprise and looked at Ma Jin.
The smile on Ma Jin's face froze, and he pretended to be annoyed and said, "......, is your brother so like a little eunuch?" ”
Xiao Nannan thought of the scene when she met Ma Jin that day, and nodded solemnly: "Like."
"Poof" Zhou Qiang'er couldn't help laughing, glanced at Ma Jin coquettishly, and said: "If you don't be serious on weekdays, now it's okay, my sister won't recognize you!" ”
Ma Jin touched his nose a little embarrassed, and said, "Let's talk about dinner first, let's talk about dinner first, I'm going to starve to death......"
Glancing to the side as she spoke, she saw Li Feiya hugging Nan Nan and saying some happy words, Nan Nan couldn't leave the delicious food she ate today, played those fun things, and having Fei Ya by her side made her feel a lot more at ease.
Seeing this warm scene, he was a little jealous. Thinking of this, Ma Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to Zhou Qiang'er with a smile: "She is Concubine Tai's niece Concubine Li Ya......"
"Huh? She is a descendant of Li Youde? Isn't the Li family ......" Zhou Qiang'er sighed, quickly covered her mouth and glanced at Li Feiya, and said softly.
"It's the Queen Mother...... Ma Jin nodded and said softly.
Zhou Qiang'er was already ice and snow smart, and in a blink of an eye, she figured out the ins and outs, and suddenly said with a burst in her eyes: "What did I say?" It turned out to be the Queen Mother... But..."
Ma Jin waved his hand and signaled not to say any more, and Zhou Qiang'er shut up when she saw this.
……
The prison was cramped and dirty, the light was gloomy, and the air was filled with a putrid smell that made people sick.
Li Feiya was tied to a wooden shelf and couldn't move at all.
Assassinating the emperor is a mortal sin. Anyway, from the moment she was ready to assassinate Ma Jin, she didn't plan to live...... It's a big deal to die with Nannan, and she's had enough days like this......
"Do you have anything else to say?" The door of the prison clicked open, and Ma Jin stood on the steps and asked lightly.
"Hmph......" Li Feiya snorted weakly, and sneered: "It's just a death, there's nothing to say......"
"Looks like you're hell-bent on death?" Ma Jin slowly walked forward and stopped in front of Li Feiya.
"I didn't do anything about it, I have already issued an edict to make her the eldest princess of Changle, and what I and my father owed her in the past will naturally make up for it one by one."
Ma Jin stared at Li Feiya, her long eyelashes were on her eyelids, and her beautiful face, as white as fine porcelain skin, made Ma Jin's heart beat a few times, "Now, what we want to discuss is your problem." Why did you kill me? I also know that who made me the son of Emperor Zhao! ”
Li Feiya's expression was stunned, and she looked straight at Ma Jin, Ma Jin ignored it, and said to herself:
"Isn't it strange to you why I know about you? Do you know? I am also very strange, the first emperor sent your family to Jinyang back then, how did you, the only heir of the Li family, escape? How did you get to the palace? Ma Jin paused for a moment and said, "I'm really curious, who saved you?" Hiding you in the palace again? Otherwise, the most dangerous place is the safest place, this man is really calculating! ”
"......" Li Feiya closed her eyes, was silent, and didn't say anything, but Ma Jin was very keen to find that Li Feiya's delicate body subconsciously collapsed.
Ma Jin smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't say it, anyway, I have a way to make you say it......"
"Heh, torture?" Li Feiya sneered: "Whatever you want......"
"You're not afraid at all?" Ma Jin looked at Li Feiya playfully and said, "That's right, anyway, since you dare to assassinate me, you must have already been ready to die."
Rest assured, I won't let you die so happily ....... ”
"Do you know what punishment is for assassinating the emperor? You've probably heard of it, and I think it's especially suitable for you. Ma Jin said lightly: "First of all, I will first strip you naked and tie you naked to the pillar" said that here Ma Jin glanced at Li Feiya up and down, and sighed a few times, and the unmeaning eyes made Li Feiya embarrassed.
Li Feiya is not like the calm and breezy appearance just now. Although her eyes were still closed, and there was no superfluous expression on her face, anyone could feel her fear.
Li Feiya wanted to grit her teeth and insist, trying to stop thinking about the picture described by Ma Jin, but the terrible picture still couldn't stop drilling into her mind, and then, the damn tyrant burst out again:
"I also thought of a way, cruel is cruel enough, but you don't seem to look good with this as a woman......"
“…… Stop it! Stop it! Please! Woo...... Don't say it again......" Li Feiya finally couldn't bear that fear and cried, she had never been so afraid in this cannibalistic imperial city for so many years.
But there are things more terrible than death in this world, Li Feiya is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that life is better than death.
For the first time since her parents were killed, Li Feiya cried like a helpless and frightened little girl, and her tears fell like beads with broken threads.
Ma Jin couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Feiya like this.
"Hahaha! I will scare you as your punishment for assassinating me. Ma Jin said with a smile.
Li Feiya's crying stopped abruptly, looking stunned, is this kind of joke casual? A boulder pressed on her heart also slammed into the ground, making her sigh, it's good to be alive!
"As for who saved you? I won't be asking, you just bury it in your heart and forget about it! Ma Jin said lightly
"Come on, untie her! Take it to the Heart Cultivation Hall for questioning! After Ma Jin finished speaking, he turned around and left......
Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
After Ma Jingao made the imperial case, Wang Chengen and Gao Shun stared at Li Feiya standing in the hall on both sides.
"Li Feiya, I know that your parents died unjustly, but I also have no skills to recover. I have issued an edict to redress your father's wrongs, and the king of Jin has already been condemned by me! It's also a revenge for your parents! Ma Jin looked at Li Feiya and said.
"You...... What you say is true! Li Feiya asked in disbelief.
"No jokes! What I said is true! ”
Li Feiya's body trembled, "Father, mother, did you hear that?" Ya'er has finally waited for this day, and you can look at it too. Li Feiya burst into tears and muttered.
After a long time, Li Feiya wiped away her tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ma Jin repeatedly, and said gratefully: "Little girl, thank you, Your Majesty, for redressing my father's wrongs, and returning my father's innocence!"
"You don't need to thank me, you don't owe me anything, it's my father who owes you! Miss Li, what are your plans for the future? ”
Li Feiya heard Ma Jin ask where Leng was, what could she plan now? Where can you go? There is no home left.
Ma Jin looked at the stunned Li Feiya and said, "You can stay by Nannan's side in the future."
Li Feiya couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly thanked her, for fear that Ma Jin would change her mind. She thought that Ma Jin was going to drive her out of the palace, but she didn't expect Ma Jin to let her go back to Nannan......
