Chapter 888 Who do you think you are to ask me this?
Before Zhu Feng could speak, Wu Wan asked anxiously, "How?!"
One of the doctors hesitated and said softly, "There's nothing unusual about this tea."
"how!?"
Wu Wan couldn't believe her ears. She widened her eyes and said in astonishment, "How is this possible?!"
Not only her, but even the Queen Xu Miaoyin who was sitting above showed a look of astonishment.
How is that possible?!
In fact, it was not just Si Nanyan, nor was it just Wu Wan. After Zhu Feng asked Prince Ning to marry Prince Yin Jing and began to favor Feng Shu, she was also investigating what had happened to Zhu Feng these days.
Compared with the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Kang, the Queen has greater power.
She discovered earlier than them that Feng Shu had been having people deliver tea to the imperial study these days. Unlike the things sent by other concubines, which were discarded by Zhu Feng, Feng Shu's tea seemed to be favored by him.
Therefore, Xu Miaoyin also suspected that there was something wrong with the tea.
However, as the queen, she must be cautious and prudent. She absolutely cannot personally deal with such matters. After knowing that Wu Wan and Duke Cheng were investigating this matter these days, she knew that they would definitely get the same information as her.
And Wu Wan must take action.
She only needs to do what a queen should do at this time.
But what she didn't expect was that the tea was actually fine!
How is this possible?
Xu Miaoyin's breathing became disordered. She looked at Wu Wan, then at the two imperial doctors, and subconsciously said, "Have you checked it clearly?"
The imperial physician hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we have examined everything and understood everything."
Wu Wan immediately said, "But this tea, and this taste, are not the taste of the tea we usually drink!"
The imperial physician said softly, "Yes, the water used to make the tea is indeed different. I have just checked and found that these are all spices. However, because they come from the Western Regions, they are not commonly seen in the palace. However, they are not harmful."
“…”
For a moment, the entire Yangxingzhai fell silent.
Wu Wan suddenly turned pale, and drops of cold sweat dripped down her face.
She trembled and looked up at Zhu Feng, but saw that Zhu Feng's face was as cold as ice. He said coldly: "Concubine Kang, is this the truth you want to tell me?"
"This - concubine, concubine -"
She had never expected this result and was stuttering and unable to speak.
Feng Shu, who was standing aside, had a sinister smile on her face which was heavily made up and beautiful to the point of being a little too ostentatious.
However, it was not directed at Concubine Kang who had already suffered a crushing defeat.
Instead, he looked at Nan Yan, who had remained silent the entire time, but at this moment, her face was even paler than before.
The look in his eyes seemed to say: Today, you are lucky.
Nan Yan held the armrests of the chair with both hands, exerting slight force.
Veins bulged on the white back of his hand.
Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing behind her, was also completely stunned at this time, muttering: "How could this happen?"
She wasn't the only one saying this.
Wu Wan stood in the center of Yangxingzhai, muttering repeatedly, "How could this happen?"
Feng Shu took a step forward and said to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty, I am innocent."
"I know you are innocent."
Zhu Feng said, turning to look at Wu Wan, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Kang, since you did this today, I would like to ask you, what do you want?"
"This, Your Majesty——"
Concubine Kang looked up at his angry expression and fell to her knees in fear: "I beg the emperor to forgive me."
Zhu Feng angrily said, "Today is the auspicious day for me to confer the title of Lipin, but you, for no reason, caused a scene in Yangxingzhai and even made false accusations against others. Am I usually too kind to you?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Zhu Feng said: "Queen!"
Xu Miaoyin was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened, but when she heard him calling her, she was also startled: "Ah? Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"
Zhu Feng asked, "How should we deal with this matter?"
"this--"
Xu Miaoyin looked at Wu Wan kneeling in front of her, and her heart sank.
Zhu Feng, do you really want her to punish Wu Wan?
But--
Xu Miaoyin hesitated.
"Um?"
Zhu Feng frowned and looked at her.
At this time, almost a thousand-pound burden fell on Xu Miaoyin alone. She covered her mouth and started coughing.
At this moment, a sneer came from the side.
At this time, everyone in Yangxingzhai didn't dare to breathe, fearing that Zhu Feng would ask them questions or that his anger would be vented on them. Everyone wanted to curl up their whole body.
However, some people were sneering.
The one sneering was none other than the imperial concubine, Si Nanyan, who had remained silent the entire time.
When Feng Shu heard this voice, she was like a cat smelling fish, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Queen just said that she is not feeling well. Perhaps what happened today has made things difficult for the Queen."
“…”
"I would like to ask the Imperial Concubine about this matter."
Suddenly, everyone looked at Si Nanyan.
Everyone was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
I couldn't help but think: Look, making a noise at this time will definitely get me into trouble.
After hearing her words, Nan Yan sat in the chair and slowly raised her eyelids to look at her: "You ask me?"
"good."
Feng Shu's face revealed a slightly provocative sneer as she said, "Doesn't the Imperial Concubine have the power to assist in managing the six palaces?"
“…”
"Then it would be reasonable to ask the Imperial Concubine about this matter."
Nan Yan still looked at her coldly and repeated, "You ask me?"
Feng Shu asked, "Why, Your Majesty, it's hard to tell?"
Nan Yan asked, "Who do you think you are to question me?"
“……!”
These words, echoing in the Yangxingzhai where it was so quiet that even a needle drop could be heard, were like a loud slap in Feng Shu's face.
She originally thought she had a sure win, but she never dreamed that Nan Yan would say that.
Suddenly, his face turned red.
Wu Wan, who was kneeling beside her, and Xu Miaoyin, who was sitting above her and remained silent, both stared at her with wide eyes in surprise.
Zhu Feng frowned immediately.
Nan Yan, however, still held the armrests of her chair with both hands, sitting there motionless, and said, "The Emperor hasn't spoken, and the Empress hasn't spoken, so what are you pointing fingers at here?"
“…”
"Feng Zhaoyi, don't forget that today's enthronement ceremony hasn't started yet."
“…”
"Even if you are canonized, you, a mere concubine, dare to point fingers in front of me?"
“…”
"Who gave you the courage?!"
After saying that, she slammed her palm heavily on the table next to her.
There was a loud bang, like thunder, which stunned everyone.
