Chapter 315: The art of exorcism, could it be her doing?
"I want to go to Wuying Palace—" Zhu Feng hesitated for a moment, then changed his words: "I want to go back to Wuying Palace to rest."
“…”
Ye Zheng also hesitated for a moment.
"Your Majesty, is the female official still in Wuying Palace?"
Zhu Feng had already walked to the door. Hearing what he said, he stopped for a moment and then said, "She's in that state, and I can't kick her out."
“…”
After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked out.
Ye Zheng stood there with a hesitant expression on his face.
Obviously, Zhu Feng wanted to go back to see her, but as a female official of the Imperial Court, it was not appropriate for her to live in the emperor's bedroom.
But this matter——
Forget it, let’s wait two days.
Thinking this, he turned and left the Huagai Palace.
Walking down the long steps, I looked up and saw He Yi standing in front of me. There was a faint smile on his handsome face. In the winter, it was like the warm sun on the ice, making people feel particularly comfortable.
But when Ye Zheng saw him, he felt a little unhappy.
He walked over and asked, "What are you here to see?"
He Yi smiled faintly and said, "I heard that the emperor has released all the palace maids from prison today."
"yes."
"It seems that the emperor has not suffered this loss in vain."
Ye Zheng sighed silently.
When he came to ask He Yi for help before, he heard him say that the emperor must suffer a loss to let him know that such indiscriminate killing will only make relatives sad and enemies happy. Not only will it not have any effect, but the pain will even backfire.
Of course, in reality, that's what it is.
Last night, he carried Si Nanyan out of the prison. That pale face looked as if the person who had been tortured and bleeding was himself.
This knife had pierced Zhu Feng's heart deeply.
He Yi asked again, "How is the female official now?"
Ye Zheng said, "You even knew to ask her? If the Emperor hadn't broken into the prison yesterday, she might have been killed!"
"Who?"
"Who do you think it could be?"
Ye Zheng's face was gloomy. He said, "When the Emperor barged in, it was already the middle of the night. Logically, the jailers should have been resting. But they actually tied Si Nanyan to the rack and nearly tore her apart."
“…”
"And this morning, those who did it all committed suicide."
“…”
He Yi was silent for a while, then said, "It seems that some people in the harem have reached out far enough."
Of course Ye Zheng knew who he was talking about.
He took a step forward, leaned close to He Yi's ear, and whispered, "Do you think she was behind this time's spell of warding off evil?"
“…”
He Yi thought about it and said, "It's unlikely."
“…”
"She won't benefit from doing this—people in the Wu family won't do business that loses money."
Ye Zheng thought about it and said, "That's right."
Originally, Wu Wan married Zhu Feng, who was then the Prince of Yan, shortly before he started the rebellion.
Originally, Wu Yingqiu, the governor of Henan Province, should have been a key barrier against Zhu Feng. However, because of this marriage, Zhu Feng's army left Peking and headed south, and when they were about to cross Henan, they did not lose a single soldier.
It was also because of this that as soon as Zhu Feng ascended the throne, Wu Wan was canonized as Concubine Kang.
Wu Yingqiu was granted the title of Duke of Chengguo.
The people of the Wu family were also given important positions.
If this is a business, it is definitely a profitable one.
Since it wasn't her, Ye Zheng felt relieved. After all, Zhu Feng asked him to investigate the case of the witchcraft. If it really involved Wu Wan and the Wu family, he would be in trouble.
But, here comes the problem——
