…
That night, when the First Protector sneaked into the First Prince's residence, the Second Protector and the Third Protector were already waiting for her.
"My Lord, what happened in the cold palace today? Why did the news of your murder spread?" The Great Protector asked this question as soon as he arrived.
Speaking of this, Feng Huailue was angry again: "Someone framed me. As soon as I walked into the room, I saw that the queen had been poisoned to death. When I was about to leave, my father pushed the door open and everyone thought that I had killed the queen."
The Great Protector still asked with some distrust: "The Great Prince should not have done this, right?"
Feng Huai was a little hurt: "Great Protector, what is the relationship between you and me? Even if I am the one who did it, I can't deny it in front of you. Someone must have poisoned the queen first, and the queen deliberately led me here..."
At this point, Feng Huailue recalled what the two palace maids said when they passed by, and suddenly he understood everything, "It was those two palace maids who led the prince here."
"Your Highness, do you know who did it?"
"Besides Feng Huailue and Concubine Nian, could there be anyone else?" Feng Huailue suddenly thought of Concubine De, "No, maybe there is also Concubine De. Today, Concubine De is helping Concubine Nian. Concubine De also betrayed Queen Li."
"It seems that Concubine De and Concubine Nian have joined forces. They are relying on Feng Zhaolin, but Feng Zhaolin is also busy taking care of himself." The Great Guardian looked at the other two guardians and said, "Why did it turn into Furong? Wasn't it said to be a lotus? Is there any news from the Imperial Master?"
"The Imperial Master said that she was only responsible for bringing Feng Zhaolin across the border, and she was not responsible for other matters." The Third Protector's tone was filled with some subtle dissatisfaction, "What the Imperial Master has been doing recently has become more and more puzzling."
"How dare you!" The Great Protector warned, "Who allowed you to slander the Imperial Master?"
After being warned, the third guardian did not dare to speak again. The second guardian quickly said another thing: "Big guardian, we saw Guoguo on the street today."
Hearing this name, the anxiety in the Great Protector's heart finally eased a little: "Did you bring her back?"
The second guardian shook his head and said, "But the people we sent said that the person who took Guoguo away was Xuan Ling, the commander of the Jinwu Guards who was beside the Northern Rong Prince Rong Zhang. Now Guoguo is in the post house."
"How could she be in the hands of Beirong?" The Great Protector once again recalled the time when the Black Mountain Underground Palace was blown up. If Guoguo was found in the hands of Beirong's people, it meant that the people who sneaked into the Black Mountain Underground Palace were from Beirong.
"Great Protector, it seems that Beirong and the Third Prince have been in collusion for a long time." The Second Protector replied.
The Great Protector's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "Feng Zhaolin is really bold. He betrayed the emperor and dared to reach out to Black Mountain. If that's the case, then we should teach him a lesson. Is there any movement from Concubine Nian recently?"
"Princess Nian is good at painting. She paints every day when she has nothing to do. There is nothing else she does."
Listening to the Second Protector's answer, the First Protector had an idea in mind, but she didn't say it immediately: "How is Concubine De? Although Concubine De is a bit dull, she is a stubborn person. It is impossible for her to betray the Queen all of a sudden. Have you found out what happened?"
Feng Huailue said: "In fact, there is a very simple way to make Concubine De betray me... Feng Jikai!"
"Feng Jikai fell off his horse. Apart from you and the Queen, who else knew about it?"
"Feng Zhaolin!" Feng Huailue recalled what happened back then, "When Feng Jikai fell off his horse, Feng Zhaolin was there too. Maybe he saw something at the time but never said anything. He was hiding a secret and used it at the most critical moment.
Isn't it the best time after Empress Li is deposed? As long as Consort De betrays Empress Li, it will be very difficult for her to rise again!"
