Chapter 1481 Cold Little Hands
So everyone waited.
Including Concubine Ning Feng Qianyan and Concubine Hui Wu Wan, everyone looked at her quietly, as if waiting for her verdict.
I don’t know how long it took.
A faint smile appeared on Nan Yan's pale face. Although it was a smile, and although it was in this warm Yanchun Pavilion, it gave people a cold feeling, not even much warmer than Zhu Feng's gaze that was chilling to the bone.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qianyan and Wu Wan both felt the blood in their bodies stagnate.
Then, she smiled and said, "This, the matter is also very clear."
“…”
"The evidence is irrefutable that Concubine Ning is harming me."
“…”
"As for Concubine Hui..." Nan Yan looked up at her. Wu Wan wanted to look at her, but she didn't dare to look at her. Her eyes kept flickering in contradiction, as if someone had caught her with some kind of handle. She was afraid that if they met her eyes, someone would see through her soul.
Although it was motionless, although nothing happened.
But at this moment, her embarrassment was written into his heart.
Nan Yan smiled faintly: "This matter has nothing to do with Concubine Hui. Concubine Ning, you are like a mad dog, biting people indiscriminately. You should know that justice is clear and there will be retribution. Your current fate is the retribution for your evil deeds."
“…”
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Hearing her say this, it was as if Feng Qianyan had been sentenced to death. She collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
Nan Yan looked at her coldly.
Although she may not be unaware of Concubine Hui's affairs, the Wu Wan family is so powerful that this little thing cannot bring her down. It is better to break one of her fingers than to hurt ten of them.
Feng Qianyan, she can't stay!
Seeing this, Xu Miaoyin immediately said, "Feng Qianyan, you are so brave!"
Then he turned to look at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng's gaze was cold, like a knife, staring at Feng Qianyan. After a long pause, he said, "From today on, Feng Qianyan's title of Consort Ning is abolished. Come, drag her away and hand her over to the Ministry of Justice for trial and conviction. She will be severely punished!"
"yes!"
Several guards outside came in immediately and dragged Feng Qianyan out.
At this time, she didn't even struggle or call for help. Her whole body was like a lifeless piece of meat. When she was dragged out, a gust of fishy wind blew up, making Nan Yan frown.
Zhu Feng looked up at her.
Nan Yan's eyes also met his.
At this moment, the cold wind was biting, but there was something deeper that pierced their hearts.
After a long while, Zhu Feng slowly lowered his head, and Nan Yan covered her mouth with her hand and coughed lightly twice.
Next, it was Hanxiang and Xiao Duozi who were kneeling on the ground.
The two men were now like meat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered. They kept kowtowing and begging for mercy to Zhu Feng and Nan Yan. The sound of banging their gongs and bangs made the entire Yanchun Pavilion restless.
Concubine Hui and Concubine An exchanged a glance and stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, although these two servants did something wrong, they did not intend to do evil."
"Yes, it was all done by Concubine Ning—oh no, it was all done by that sinful woman Feng Qianyan."
"Since Feng Qianyan has already been severely punished, why don't they just—"
Zhu Feng gave them a cold look.
He said nothing, but the cold murderous look in his eyes was enough to frighten people into not daring to speak.
The two men immediately lowered their heads.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng asked, "Do you want to plead for them?"
Nan Yan said, "If it weren't for the two of them exposing the culprit, this matter might not have been solved. After all, they have made contributions. Your Majesty, please spare their lives."
Upon hearing this, the two of them were immediately overjoyed.
Everyone knew that the imperial concubine's words at this time were more effective than the imperial edict. As long as she opened her mouth, they would be able to survive.
He kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
“…”
Zhu Feng's face was gloomy. After a long while, he said, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven!"
So, they were directly sentenced to exile. The two men were both relieved and sad, crying and shouting, but were also dragged out.
At this moment, Yanchun Pavilion became quiet.
I have dealt with so many things, but the biggest thing tonight doesn't seem to be those.
But it was the princess who had just been born and had left.
Xu Miaoyin's face was filled with sadness, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, since the little princess has already—let's get people ready immediately."
“…”
Zhu Feng lowered his head, his face pale.
After a while, he said "hmm" in a muffled nasal voice.
So the queen ordered people to clean up immediately. Several capable maids went in and cleaned up the inner room. One of the maids took the originally bright red festive swaddling clothes and wrapped the little princess, ready to send her out.
She had just walked out and saluted the emperor and empress when Zhu Feng lowered his head and suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
The nanny walked to the door and stopped immediately.
Zhu Feng didn't say anything.
Everyone was a little confused and looked at him. The nanny naturally didn't dare to leave and just stood there.
There was silence for a while before Zhu Feng said in a hoarse voice, "Let me take one more look at the little princess."
“…”
Hearing his words, the heavy murderous aura that had just been there instantly dissipated, and was replaced by a kind of sadness that made even breathing and heartbeat feel extremely heavy.
Nan Yan looked at his back.
At this moment, in this instant, she felt that Zhu Feng seemed to have aged a lot.
No matter what kind of person Feng Qianyan is, or what she has done, this child is still his flesh and blood. No one can remain indifferent to the passing of his own flesh and blood.
He had few children to begin with, so even a princess would be good.
But...
Thinking of this, Nan Yan's heart sank. She sighed and subconsciously took a step closer.
I saw the nanny holding the little princess and walking up carefully.
The little princess's tiny body was wrapped in a big red swaddling cloth, which was originally meant to give the child warmth and express joy. But now, her appearance and departure is just a great sorrow, more like a joke that makes people cry, and she doesn't feel any warmth at all.
Only a small, red and black hand appeared from the swaddling clothes.
Looking at this little hand makes people feel even more sad.
Zhu Feng looked at it for a long time, but couldn't help but reach out and hold the soft but cold little hand, and infinite sorrow surged in his heart.
He said solemnly: "My daughter..."
The people around couldn't help but have red eyes and sobbed softly.
At this moment, Nan Yan suddenly felt Zhu Feng's body tremble.
He let go of the little hand all of a sudden, as if he had touched a red-hot charcoal.
The nanny still didn't know what was going on. She just knelt on the ground, looked at him in surprise, and whispered, "Your Majesty...?"
