Chapter 306: Palace Fight: Deserted by Everyone
Shen Hanqing felt that Feng Chengjin was really quite interesting.
She deliberately said, "Who said I would hang around in front of you forever? Your Highness Prince An, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?"
"I am kind-hearted, so I wanted to feel what it's like to be a queen, so I let His Royal Highness Prince An go."
Feng Chengjin looked at Shen Hanqing. This woman was talking nonsense again. She had planned for so long just to feel what it was like to be a queen. Who would believe it?
Let’s talk about Feng Chengyi. On the second day at the morning court, he deliberately accused Feng Chengjin of treason in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.
He originally wanted these court officials to take advantage of the situation to impeach Feng Chengjin so that he could take action with justification.
Who would have known that those ministers, one by one, would actually speak for Feng Chengjin.
At first, Feng Chengyi was a little angry, wondering if these ministers had been bribed.
Later, Feng Chengyi was persuaded by those eloquent ministers that Feng Chengjin, who was addicted to the Five-Stone Powder, could not pose any threat.
If we must kill Feng Chengjin, it would arouse public anger, which would be bad.
After all, some people are dissatisfied with Feng Chengyi's actions.
The most important thing is that Feng Chengyi can't find a reason to kill Feng Chengjin for the time being, so he can only put it on hold.
After the court session, the ministers exchanged glances.
After leaving the palace, they met secretly, and when they asked, they found out that they were all the same.
Everything they had done was dug up.
However, they didn't know it was Shen Hanqing's work, they just thought it was done by Feng Chengjin.
After all, the news they received was that they had to protect Feng Chengjin in the court.
Feng Chengyi became more and more dependent on Concubine Rong, and his spirit became worse and worse.
He even somewhat forgot that he still wanted to eradicate the Shen family.
Qu Shu tried to win back Feng Chengyi countless times, but it was nothing compared to the ointment that Shen Hanqing gave to Concubine Rong.
So the frustrated Qu Shu and Prime Minister Cao became closer and closer.
Shen Hanqing was naturally happy to see this development.
Feng Chengyi, on the other hand, had not yet realized that he was already alone.
Shen Hanqing calculated the time, and it was about time for the disaster to happen in the plot.
It was probably a locust plague somewhere, which led to famine.
Qu Shu came up with a good idea and solved the disaster, which made Feng Chengyi and Qu Shu famous and won the hearts of the people.
Now, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it will be Feng Chengjin who will win the hearts and minds of the people.
When Feng Chengyi heard about the disaster, he was helpless except for allocating funds.
Prime Minister Cao is still bedridden, so there is really no advice he can give to Feng Chengyi.
In order to prevent Qu Shu from causing trouble, Shen Hanqing asked Prime Minister Cao to keep a close eye on her.
The disadvantage of only allocating funds is that the disaster situation has not eased at all, the number of victims is still increasing, and the people are still complaining.
The reason is that there are corrupt officials.
When the disaster relief funds reach the hands of the people, there is nothing left.
Moreover, the emperor is far away and it is impossible for Feng Chengyi to investigate who embezzled the money.
Feng Chengyi had no choice but to send someone to investigate.
When the court ministers were asked about their candidates, they all recommended Prince An.
Feng Chengyi almost thought he had heard it wrong. What was the point of letting that loser go?
The minister privately told Feng Chengyi, "Don't you want to get rid of Prince An? This is the opportunity."
Those disaster victims are full of resentment and will definitely attack those who leave.
Those who embezzled disaster relief funds would certainly not allow themselves to be traced, so they would definitely target Feng Chengjin.
Feng Chengyi thought it made sense.
So Feng Chengjin was sent to deal with the issue of embezzlement of disaster relief funds.
Who knew that Feng Chengjin was not only not troubled as the minister said, but also used iron-blooded methods to find out those who were corrupt.
Make them return all the disaster relief funds they embezzled.
Rumor has it that the current emperor is indifferent to the disaster and is indulging in pleasure.
If Prince An had not intervened, these disaster victims would probably have starved to death.
Feng Chengyi finally realized that something was wrong. It was not his illusion at all, but there was really something wrong with these ministers.
In the court, Feng Chengyi cursed loudly, but no one responded to him directly.
Feng Chengyi also realized that it must be the work of the Shen family.
He came to Shen Hanqing aggressively.
He roared angrily: “Shen Hanqing, your Shen family should not go too far!”
Shen Hanqing looked somewhat innocent, “What did your Majesty say?”
Then, without waiting for Feng Chengyi to speak, he asked, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Prince An, or the ministers in the court, or Prime Minister Cao?"
Feng Chengyi’s pupils shrank slightly, and Shen Hanqing actually admitted it, “Sure enough, it’s all the work of your Shen family!”
Even Prime Minister Cao has defected to the Shen family?
Feng Chengyi found it incredible.
Shen Hanqing approached Feng Chengyi, “Yes, it’s a pity that the emperor understood it too late.”
Feng Chengyi took a step back, his eyes full of fear leaning against Shen Hanqing, “What do you want to do?”
Shen Hanqing stopped and said, “Your Majesty, there is no need to be so afraid. This palace will not kill you.”
Feng Chengyi stepped back subconsciously, stumbling over a chair. "You actually still want to kill me!"
Shen Hanqing was a little helpless, “I said it won’t happen anymore, Your Majesty, don’t worry.”
Feng Chengyi suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and said, "I will kill you, you vicious woman!"
Shen Hanqing waved her sleeves, and Feng Chengyi fell to the ground after being hit by a few melon seeds.
She looked down at Feng Chengyi and said, "Your Majesty, since you can't keep your word, then I can only take back what you owe me and the Shen family."
Then he shouted, "Come! Take the emperor back and let him have a good rest!"
After he finished speaking, several imperial guards who were completely unfamiliar to Feng Chengyi took Feng Chengyi away in a forceful manner.
In the next few days, the imperial guards in the palace were replaced by new faces. To put it bluntly, they were all General Shen Hanyuan's men.
When Concubine Rong went to see Feng Chengyi, Feng Chengyi thought that Concubine Rong was on his side.
It was not until the next morning when Rong Fei asked to attend court with him that Feng Chengyi realized that even Rong Fei was Shen Hanqing's person.
Because Feng Chengyi brought Concubine Rong to court, his reputation of being incompetent and obsessed with beauty spread.
Feng Chengyi felt that he, the emperor, was probably under house arrest, and Daxia had become the world of the Shen family.
Only then did he remember Qu Shu, the concubine he had once favored.
However, Qu Shu is also able to judge the situation.
She learned a lot from Prime Minister Cao. Feng Chengyi can't stay in this position for much longer.
It is not a good choice for Feng Chengyi to stand aside at this time.
So Qu Shu chose to avoid him.
Feng Chengyi, who failed to wait for Qu Shu, waited for Shen Hanqing.
Shen Hanqing looked at Feng Chengyi, who looked a little dejected, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you waiting for Concubine Qu? I forgot to tell your majesty that Qu Shu and Prime Minister Cao seem to have fallen in love with each other."
Feng Chengyi's pupils shrank slightly, and he picked up the candlestick at hand and threw it at Shen Hanqing, "Bitch! They are all bitches!"
Shen Hanqing bent down, picked up the candlestick on the ground, and put it on the table, “As I said before, Your Majesty still owes me a heart.”
