Chapter 172: The past of Feng Xiyao and Jiang Jue is revealed
When the palace maids and eunuchs saw Eunuch Hai, they all shut their mouths and dared not say anything more.
Zhou Ninghai walked over and said to them, "If I hear you talking about the master again, I'll pull out your tongues!"
“…”
The few people did not dare to say anything. They lowered their heads and listened to Eunuch Hai's scolding before they hurriedly left the Yu Garden.
Watching them leave, Eunuch Hai snorted coldly.
Fortunately, I encountered it myself. If the emperor heard it, he would have beaten me to death.
In Anle Palace.
"Who does that old bastard think he is? He still wants to protect Feng Xiyao!"
The maid Xiaolian stepped forward and asked, "My queen, what should we do next?"
Zhang Shen shook his handkerchief.
"The news has almost spread in the palace. Go find a few people outside the palace and spread the story about the Queen and Jiang Jue. Add what happened in the hunting grounds and have people exaggerate it. It's best to make the matter as big as possible!"
"They can control the palace, but it's not so easy to shut up the common people outside the palace!"
Xiaolian nodded: "Your Majesty is still smart, I will do it now."
"Go ahead!"
Looking at Xiaolian running away, Zhang Shen smiled proudly.
In order to bring down Feng Xiyao, he spent a lot of effort to find out her previous relationship with Jiang Jue.
He spent a large sum of money to bribe an old maid in the Feng Mansion and learned that Jiang Jue had been Feng Xiyao's teacher.
Although he only heard this piece of information, Feng Xiyao was speechless once it got out.
After all, a single man and a single woman had been in the same room for so many years, and no one would believe that they had no ambiguous relationship.
What's more, Feng Xiyao is now under the pressure of being the empress. If the news gets out, she will be troubled by all the ministers.
Even if the emperor loves her and likes her, there will still be a distance between them because of this.
As long as there is a gap between the two of them, then I have a chance.
She is determined to get the position of queen.
“…”
The next day
Feng Xiyao was swinging leisurely on the swing when she saw Ruyi walking towards her with a worried look on her face.
"What's wrong? You have a frown on your face. Who made you unhappy?"
Ruyi bit her lip: "My queen, everyone in the palace is talking about you and Lord Jiang..."
Feng Xiyao stopped what he was doing, somewhat puzzled.
"What do Jiang Jue and I have to tell them?"
Ruyi frowned: "Your Majesty has forgotten what happened in the hunting grounds last time. Lord Jiang hugged you in order to save you. Now the whole palace has spread the news that you two were hugging each other and that you...had an affair..."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyao laughed out of anger.
"What do you mean by adultery? Didn't Jiang Jue hug us just to save me? And they are talking about this!"
Seeing the confusion on her face, Ruyi hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice.
"My queen, do you really not remember what happened between you and Lord Jiang in the mansion?"
Ruyi was Feng Xiyao's maid who came with her as a dowry. They had a good relationship when they were in the Feng Mansion. Feng Xiyao would tell her everything on her mind, so she naturally knew everything between her and Jiang Jue.
But she didn't expect that these things would be discovered now.
Speaking of this, Feng Xiyao suddenly remembered that she had been curious before whether she knew Jiang Jue. Now that Ruyi brought it up, she could just ask.
"Good luck, didn't I fall into the water before? Since then, I found that I seemed to have forgotten a lot of things. Tell me quickly, did I know Jiang Jue before?"
“…”
Ruyi was a little shocked that she could forget such a deep love.
When Ruyi saw Feng Xiyao being cold and distant towards Jiang Jue before, she thought she had fallen in love with the emperor and didn't want to have anything to do with her previous partner anymore. She didn't expect that she had really forgotten about him.
"Tell me now!"
Feng Xiyao sat upright, a look of curiosity on his face.
“…”
Ruyi had no choice but to tell him what had happened between them.
But she didn't mention that Prime Minister Feng had previously planned to marry her to Jiang Jue. After all, their identities were already like this.
After listening to this, Feng Xiyao felt that this melon was so huge that she almost couldn't digest it.
I didn't expect that Feng Xiyao and Jiang Jue actually had this unknown relationship. No wonder I always felt that the look in his eyes when he looked at me contained too much.
“…”
But think about it, I am not Feng Xiyao now, I am just a modern person who occupies her body, so the relationship between the two of them was severed the moment I arrived.
Thinking of this, she shook her head: Alas, poor child, the original owner of his favorite girl has disappeared, but he still misses her all the time!
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? The story of you and Lord Jiang in the hunting ground has spread all over the palace. I heard that people outside the palace have begun to spread the rumor that Lord Jiang was once your teacher. If this gets to the ears of the emperor, then you..."
“…”
Feng Xiyao also fell silent. She definitely couldn't explain the matter between the original owner and Jiang Jue clearly. It depended on whether Mo Cangyan believed her or not.
…
Song Qianxue has heard a lot of news about Feng Xiyao these days. She doesn't know who spread the news, but it's good for her all the time, and all her efforts in the hunting grounds have not been in vain.
Mo Cangyan heard the rumors in the palace from Zhou Ninghai, and ordered that anyone who heard these things from him again would be beaten to death, thus shutting everyone up.
But the news had already spread, and everyone knew the previous relationship between the Queen and Lord Jiang.
Song Qianxue thought that if Mo Cangyan knew about it, he would definitely have a rift with Feng Xiyao, but he still went to see her every night. No matter how late he was reviewing memorials at night, he would go to Fengchun Palace to accompany her.
Seeing that he didn't care which man Feng Xiyao had had a relationship with before, and that the emperor still only had her in his heart, Song Qianxue was so angry that she clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
Seeing that Mo Cangyan was not affected by this incident, Song Qianxue thought of starting with Feng Xiyao, so she went to Fengchun Palace early the next morning.
Feng Xiyao was still a little surprised to see her and didn't understand why she came to Fengchun Palace.
Song Qianxue had a gentle smile on her face and pointed to the things in her hand.
"Empress, I made some Poria paste. The Emperor likes it, so I brought some over for you!"
Feng Xiyao had no expression on his face and looked away calmly.
"Come in!"
As soon as Song Qianxue stepped into Fengchun Palace, Eunuch Hai came over.
"Empress, the Emperor has summoned you to the Purple Gold Palace. He has something to discuss with you!"
Feng Xiyao nodded: "I understand!"
As she spoke, she looked at the woman who came in and said, "Miss Qianxue, please do as you please. I have something to do in the Purple Gold Palace. It's up to you whether you wait here or leave!"
Song Qianxue smiled and nodded.
"It's okay, I can wait for the queen to come back!"
“…”
Feng Xiyao looked at him deeply for a few times, then turned around and walked out with Ruyi.
“…”
Watching them leave, Song Qianxue curled her lips and smiled.
