Chapter 297 A Farce
De Fei's face, which was originally full of anger, froze instantly. Su Chenyu pretended to be surprised and asked, "Madam De Fei, you have never thought about this question, have you?"
Before Concubine De could answer, the Queen standing on the other side could not help but say, "The horse was frightened at that time, so the Second Prince fell off the horse."
"The horse was frightened?" Su Chenyu looked at Concubine De. "My Lady Concubine De, if a person who is not good at riding and shooting falls off the horse because the horse is frightened, it is not surprising. But as far as I know, the King of Xixia praised the Second Prince's riding and shooting skills. How could he fall off the horse so easily?"
"Master Fengyi, you are from Dayu, how can you know all the affairs of Xixia? Young master, you are talking nonsense and confusing people!"
Su Chenyu smiled and looked at the Queen: "Queen, why are you so excited when the Queen and Consort De are discussing the Second Prince's affairs?"
"Everyone knows that the Second Prince's fall from his horse is a sore spot for Concubine De, so why do you have to bring it up again and again?"
"Even if the Lord didn't mention it, would the Empress Defei forget it?" Su Chenyu asked back, "The Lord was kind enough to remind the Empress Defei today. Since the Empress is so secretive about this matter, the Lord will never mention it again in the future."
For a moment, everyone looked at the Queen, unable to understand why she reacted so strongly to the Second Prince's affairs.
Seeing this, the Queen wanted to say something, but Handan interrupted her: "Your Majesty, we came here for the funeral of Feixu Master. It is indeed our fault to bring up Concubine De's sad story. Let's burn incense to Feixu Master first."
These two people, one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop, caught the Queen off guard and planted the seeds of doubt in Concubine De's heart.
Seeing Su Chenyu, Baili Yanqing and Handan burning incense to Feng Feixu, the queen felt unspeakably humiliated.
Feng Feixu was punished to death because of these three people. They came to burn incense for Feng Feixu now, which was simply a slap in the face of the queen.
"Why hasn't Concubine Li arrived yet?" The Queen couldn't get angry with Feng Feixu and Handan, so she questioned the palace maids around her, "Does the Queen have to come in person to invite her?"
The palace maid didn't dare to respond to the Queen's words, as she couldn't afford to offend both the Queen and Concubine Li.
"Your Majesty is really showing off your majesty." Concubine Li happened to come in at this moment.
This was the first time Su Chenyu saw Concubine Li, and she felt a strange sense of disharmony from her.
Concubine Li's personality was not as gentle as her face looked. It was like the warm spring breeze and the biting cold wind mixed in one season. The sense of separation was strong, which made her beauty even more unique.
No wonder Concubine Li has been in the emperor's favor for so many years.
When the Queen saw Concubine Li rushing in in her gorgeous attire, which looked out of place in the mourning hall, her expression became even uglier: "What does Concubine Li mean by this?"
"The concubine can wear whatever she wants. Does she need the Queen's instructions?" Concubine Li looked at the coffin in the middle of the mourning hall. "It is a blessing for the concubine to come to mourn Feng Feixu. Does the Queen expect the concubine to wear mourning clothes for her?"
When facing the queen, Concubine Li always called her "Your Majesty" and did not take the queen into consideration at all.
"My dear concubine, don't think that just because the emperor favors you, you can be so presumptuous in front of the empress!"
Seeing the Queen and the Imperial Concubine confronting each other, everyone looked terrified, but they were all wondering in their hearts, who would win tomorrow?
