Chapter 1238: Unreasonable
Feng Qianyan raised her head, her eyes slightly red, but she didn't dare to speak.
Hanxiang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Kangpin already had an injury on her foot. She knelt for half a day at the gate of Yikun Palace two mornings ago, and the injury has become even worse. Now—"
Before she finished speaking, Ran Xiaoyu's eyes were like two knives, deeply engraved on her body. Ran Xiaoyu said angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Our Concubine Kang actually knelt outside the Yikun Palace for a long time. After she came back, her feet were swollen."
Feng Qianyan grabbed her hand and said, "Hanxiang, stop talking!"
Hanxiang pouted in grievance.
Xu Miaoyin asked, "You knelt at the gate of Yikun Palace for half a day? Who told you to kneel?"
Feng Qianyan hurriedly said, "No, no one asked me to kneel. Your Majesty, please don't listen to Hanxiang's nonsense. I just accidentally twisted myself just now. I'm fine."
After saying that, she struggled to stand up, but her body tilted and she fell back.
After tossing and turning like this for a few times, tears almost formed in the corners of her eyes.
The people around him all had expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces.
"Outside Yikun Palace?"
"We saw it that morning, too."
"The Imperial Concubine..."
Amidst all the discussion, Xu Miaoyin slowly turned around and said to Nan Yan, "My Lady, what's going on?"
Nan Yan had been standing aside, her eyebrows slightly raised. When she heard Xu Miaoyin's question, she immediately leaned forward and said, "To answer the Queen, I am not aware of this matter."
“…”
"I did meet Concubine Kang that morning, but I didn't make her kneel at the gate of Yikun Palace."
“…”
"Your Majesty, you can ask Eunuch Yufuyu about this. He is also present."
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Do you think I still don't trust the Imperial Concubine?"
However, just as she finished her words, a cool and leisurely voice came from the side and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine's words are certainly credible, but isn't forcing someone to kneel and not being allowed to get up after kneeling the same thing?"
When I turned around, I saw that it was Concubine Kang who was speaking.
She smiled at Nan Yan and said, "Don't mind me, Your Majesty. I just happened to think of this and said it casually."
“…”
Nan Yan glanced at her.
Hanxiang supported Feng Qianyan, lowered her head, and almost shed tears, and said softly: "Empress Kang is right."
“…”
"Your Highness, you've already punished Concubine Kang severely enough, and she knows she's wrong. Please forgive her."
What she said was obvious.
Although the imperial concubine did not explicitly punish Concubine Kang to kneel down, it was the same thing because she did not allow Concubine Kang to get up after she knelt down.
There was an expression of anger on everyone's face.
Hanxiang supported Feng Qianyan's arm, and Gao Yurong next to her winked at her maid Bai Xue, who also hurried forward to help. It seemed as if she was seriously injured and needed everyone's help.
At this time, Concubine Kang Wu Wan said again: "Hanxiang, you just said that the Imperial Concubine's punishment was severe enough. Besides kneeling, was your Concubine Kang punished with anything else?"
Hanxiang lowered her head and said timidly, "The Imperial Concubine has also deducted half a year's salary from Concubine Kang."
At this moment, everyone's expressions became more subtle.
There were some people in the crowd who had known the news for a long time, but of course, there were also some who had just found out and were so frightened that their faces suddenly changed. "Half a year's salary?"
"What's the big deal?"
"That's right. If this happens, how will Concubine Kang live?"
All of a sudden, Nan Yan seemed to have angered everyone and became the target of public criticism.
Xu Miaoyin also frowned slightly. She said to Nan Yan, "Your Highness, have you deducted half a year's salary from Concubine Kang?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
“…”
This question really stumped Nan Yan.
Indeed, that morning, he realized that Feng Qianyan was playing tricks on him, so when she kept saying that she was wrong and that she was bad, he simply put the hat on her head and deducted half a year's monthly salary from her.
At that time, I just wanted to vent my anger, but I didn't expect that this matter would suddenly be brought to the table today.
I am really unreasonable and I can't explain it clearly.
Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the crowd and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing the voice, several concubines turned around in surprise. Nan Yan also turned around and saw a tall figure walking towards them.
It’s Zhu Feng.
Following behind him were Eunuch Yu and Ye Zheng.
As soon as she saw him approaching, Xu Miaoyin hurriedly led everyone to kneel down and kowtow: "Concubine pays homage to the emperor."
Zhu Feng walked over slowly and waved his hand: "Everyone stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng looked at them, then at Nan Yan, who seemed to be the target of everyone's criticism, and then said, "Queen, what are you doing in the Imperial Garden in such hot weather?"
Xu Miaoyin said hurriedly, "The day after tomorrow is the grand ceremony for the Emperor to open the Da Ci'en Temple. I have specially gathered all the sisters together to discuss the rules of the day so that we won't be impolite when the time comes."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "It's still the Queen who does things properly."
"I don't deserve it."
Zhu Feng looked up, only to see Hanxiang and Baixue on the other side, both supporting Feng Qianyan, almost lifting her up. He frowned slightly, "What's going on?"
Feng Qianyan raised her head and said softly, "I have behaved inappropriately in front of the emperor. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Concubine Kang Wu Wan said with a smile: "Sister Kangpin, you have been punished so severely, your foot is injured, and you were pushed just now. How can I blame you?"
“…”
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone fell silent.
But everyone's eyes were on Nan Yan.
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "He's injured. Someone, call the imperial physician."
"yes."
Eunuch Yu winked at the eunuch behind him and hurried over. However, he couldn't just stand in the Imperial Garden. There happened to be a pavilion not far ahead. Xu Miaoyin said, "Your Majesty, let's go there first."
"Um."
Zhu Feng nodded and was about to walk over there, and Feng Qianyan also wanted to walk forward, but when she raised her foot, she fell down and fell into Zhu Feng's arms.
"oops!"
She cried out in surprise and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
This reminded him of that night outside Yikun Palace when Feng Qianyan was knocked to the ground by him and injured her ankle. So he asked, "Why, aren't you healed yet?"
Feng Qianyan lowered her head and said pitifully, "I'm almost well."
After saying that, he tried to struggle to stand up, but he couldn't support himself.
The corners of my eyes are red.
Seeing her biting her lower lip to hold on, her whole body shaking in pain, looking so pitiful, Zhu Feng frowned, lowered his head, and picked her up.
