Chapter 133 Feng Yingying is dead
The cool evening breeze made Feng Yingying shiver.
Meeting the prince's cold gaze, she knelt down in front of Yan Shixu.
"Your Highness, I absolutely did not say such a thing! This slave has framed me!"
Wan Quan raised his red and swollen face and said quietly, "Feng Fengyi, God is watching what you do. I am a worthless servant, how dare I frame Feng Fengyi. Besides, there were more than just me in the palace at that time. The others can testify."
After he finished speaking, Wan'an and Qingmei and Qingzhu both stepped forward to testify.
Feng Yingying defended herself shrilly.
"Your Highness, they are in the same group, so they should be united!"
"The reason I brought people to Qionghua Palace today is because a palace maid came to Xiyue Palace and told me that Wen Liangdi sent Nanny Qin to secretly prepare items for worshiping the dead and to set up a private altar in Qionghua Palace."
"Such a major event, I naturally dare not conceal it, so I reported it to the Crown Princess truthfully."
"Later, I came to Qionghua Palace on the orders of the Crown Princess. I originally wanted to discuss the whole matter with Wen Liangdi."
"But these servants in Qionghua Palace have repeatedly obstructed my actions, and their words and actions are suspicious. That is why I have had the palace forcibly searched. Your Highness, please understand."
After she finished speaking, she tried to pull Yan Shixu's trouser leg, but he dodged her.
Yan Shixu finally gave her a straight look and asked in a cold voice, "Where is the palace maid who told you this?"
Feng Yingying's face froze. How could she know where it was?
She lowered her head and reported truthfully, "After the maid came to Xiyue Palace and told me this, she left in a hurry. I don't know where she is now. She had her head down at the time, so I didn't get a clear look at her."
When she said this, Feng Yingying was suddenly shocked.
She really didn't see the palace maid's appearance clearly, and she ran away in a hurry after she finished speaking.
She was so excited when she learned that Wen Li'er had set up a private altar that she didn't think of sending anyone to chase her.
Feng Yingying thought of something and hurriedly explained: "I didn't believe it at first, so I asked someone to check secretly first, and then I saw Nanny Qin..." She did run to Taiji Palace and brought out incense, candles, paper money and other items.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the prince again.
"Why did that palace maid go and tell you this instead of telling the Crown Princess directly?"
Feng Yingying was speechless. How would she know?
At this moment, she realized belatedly that she seemed to be being used as a gun!
Feng Yingying's mind was in complete chaos, and she even forgot what she was about to say.
At this moment, Xie Zhenrong on the side spoke.
"So, someone is probably trying to harm Wen Liangdi through Feng Fengyi. In that case, there's no need to search the beams or anything like that. Feng Fengyi is biased and credulous, acting out of line, and committing an insubordination. It's better to just..."
When she heard the word "beam", Feng Yingying's eyes instantly burst into a strong light.
The beams haven’t been searched yet!
She interrupted Xie Zhenrong and said anxiously, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, this beam must be searched!"
Yan Shixu glanced at Wen Li'er who was almost burying her head in his chest, and then looked at Feng Yingying's fiery and eager eyes.
He asked in a cold voice, "What will you do if you can't find anything?"
Feng Yingying naturally also saw Wen Li'er's guilty look, which made her even more certain of her guess.
Without thinking, she said, "I'm willing to use my life as a guarantee that Wen Liangdi has definitely hidden something forbidden, right on the beam!"
"Guarantee with your life? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
After saying this, Feng Yingying looked up at Wen Lier and said, "But I need Wen Liangdi to also use her life as a guarantee!"
Wen Li'er's shoulders shrank slightly, and Nanny Qin's face turned pale without a trace of blood.
She stepped forward and knelt in front of Wen Li'er, about to take all the responsibility on herself.
Wen Li'er hurriedly grabbed her and wanted to admit it first.
Yan Shixu spoke first again.
"Since you are so determined, I will grant your request."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the two eunuchs beside him and said, "You two, go up to the beam and check it out immediately."
These two eunuchs were exactly the ones Xie Zhenrong had pointed out before.
Upon hearing this, the two eunuchs swiftly climbed up the long beam.
Xie Zhenrong breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Li'er took a deep breath.
The storm is coming...
Everyone is responsible for his own actions. After a stroke of the neck, he will be a hero again after 18 years!
A moment later, the two eunuchs on the beam jumped down.
They clasped their fists and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, there is nothing else on the beam."
“What did you say???” Feng Yingying raised her head and screamed.
Wen Li'er and Nanny Qin also looked up at the same time.
The two were slightly stunned. After looking at each other, they suddenly lowered their heads.
Wen Li'er felt her head was a mess.
Some are surprised, some are confused, and some are in disbelief.
Is there really nothing else on it?
That's impossible! She clearly put the tablet and the package there herself.
Could it be that these two eunuchs were deliberately helping him?
Xie Zhenrong and Feng Yingying also shared the same idea.
Xie Zhenrong looked at the two eunuchs suspiciously and saw that they did not seem to be lying.
Feng Yingying shook her head frantically.
"Impossible! Your Highness, Crown Princess, there must be something up there. These two eunuchs are in cahoots with Wen Liangdi!"
Seeing the woman in front of him who was still going crazy, a hint of annoyance appeared in Yan Shixu's eyes.
He instructed Zhang Sicheng who was standing beside him: "Bring her up and let her see for herself."
"yes."
Zhang Sicheng held Feng Yingying in one hand, jumped up, and landed on the long beam.
Feng Yingying glanced at the crisscrossing beams and her face turned pale.
How is that possible?
“Impossible… Impossible!”
She kept crawling back and forth on the beam, her whole body trembling, angry and scared.
No! Really not!
Feng Yingying was in a daze and tense state. She leaned out from the beam, not caring who else was there at the moment, and pointed at Wen Li'er and cursed.
"You bitch, where did you hide that thing? If you don't hand it over, I won't give it to you...Ah!!!"
Feng Yingying was so excited that her other hand was supporting nothing.
She fell from the beam, headfirst onto the ground.
Zhang Sicheng subconsciously wanted to catch the person, but after a pause, he withdrew his hand.
"Bang……"
There was a loud noise, startling everyone in the hall.
Looking at the scene before them, all the palace servants began to tremble violently.
Wen Li'er was about to look up when a big hand covered her eyes.
A low, magnetic voice came from my ear: "Don't look."
Wen Li'er's body softened and she leaned lightly on the chest behind her, her body trembling violently.
What just happened? Did Feng Yingying fall from the beam?
Now there is no sound, is she... dead?
The more she thought about it, the more her body trembled.
Yan Shixu sighed softly, turned the man around forcibly, and sent him out of the palace gate.
"Send your master back to the main hall first."
Nanny Qin, Qingzhu Qingmei, Wan'an Wanquan, who followed behind him, hurriedly nodded their heads in response.
Inside the hall, Xie Zhenrong looked at Feng Yingying who fell right in front of him.
Looking at the blood splattering from her head and her eyes that were open in death.
After a while, Xie Zhenrong turned his head to look at Wen Li'er who was being hugged by the prince and sent to the main hall.
She was shaking with anger, her hands clenched tightly under her sleeves, her fingertips digging deep into her palms.
