Chapter 222 Concubine Gao couldn't help it
Li Jidao laughed secretly: [I don't believe that Huo Nanfeng and Xiao Wenniang didn't discuss this.]
Feng Ying really wanted to ask her daughter, does the emperor know about this?
The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness is right. Such a beautiful scenery would be less beautiful without the Empress."
He looked at Song Yun and said, "Prince Qi, go and ask your mother to come over. She has been thinking about you all these years. You must respect her well."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Xiao Yun went and came back soon, saying with an unpleasant expression, "Saint, Her Majesty the Queen is not in the palace."
"Why isn't she in the palace? Where did she go? Have you asked the servants who serve her?"
Song Yun thought to herself, I'm just wondering, this was planned by Xiao Wen Niang, but if it weren't for his approval, Wen Niang would definitely not be so bold.
So he knew.
There must have been an old palace maid who came and said that Her Majesty the Queen was missing and had fallen into the river, and now this person is also missing.
Where did this person go?
Too guilty to be buried alive with the Queen?
That’s not possible, right?
No matter what, if this continues, many things will not be able to proceed.
Song Yun could only bite the bullet and say to herself, "The servants are not in the palace, and the palace where the queen is is near the water. Is there any danger?"
Huo Nanfeng said with a worried look on his face: "Today is a festival and the riverside is full of lights. Will Her Majesty the Queen see the lights and rush over..."
After saying this, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and his face turned very ugly.
Li Jidao thought: [If you are so worried, why do you always live near water? ]
Feng Ying: I shouldn’t say this, shall I? If I say it directly, will others think I’m crazy?
Concubine Gao Guifei heard some of the things that Yuwen Chou investigated, and she felt upset at this moment.
How could Huo Nanfeng be as honest and harmless as he appears?
According to the rules of the harem, the Qinzheng Building is where the emperor handles state affairs, and concubines in the harem are almost never allowed to go to the Qinzheng Building or the Taihe Hall.
However, Huo Nanfeng often disguised himself as a eunuch or a palace maid and went to those places to hang out with the emperor.
No wonder she hadn't noticed Huo Nanfeng for all these years. It turned out that he was not under her nose.
What made her most angry was that Yuwenchou said that Huo Nanfeng was discovered by Chen Yan once, and Chen Yan wrote to the emperor, saying that he should be careful to prevent the harem from interfering in government affairs.
In order to protect Huo Nanfeng, the emperor said that person was her.
Their family was already envied by the court officials, and now they were trying to put the blame on her. No wonder her father's status has been getting worse over the years.
Jiulang was killed by Xiao Wenniang, and his father did not dare to seek justice.
They were all suppressed.
Huo Nanfeng, this bastard, is really going too far.
Concubine Gao frowned and said, "Since you knew that the Empress's residence was near the water, why didn't you tell her earlier? Why didn't you help the Empress change her residence earlier?"
Looking at Song Yun, he said in a calm tone: "Prince Qi, you are the biological son of Her Majesty the Queen. Don't you know that the Queen is served by elderly and frail people? Have you never cared about Her Majesty the Queen?"
"She's been missing you so much that she's going crazy. If you don't ask her to kneel down and be filial to you every day when you come back, you should at least show some concern for her, right?"
"You care about the prisoners of the Xiao family more than your biological mother. You are truly a filial son."
Sighing, "It's a good thing that Her Majesty knows nothing. If she knew everything, I don't know how sad she would be."
After saying this, he held the handkerchief and cried silently.
The reason she was able to become a noble concubine was not just because she was a member of the Gao family. Her appearance was very outstanding among the concubines in the harem.
I always feel pity when I see a beautiful woman shedding tears.
Everything around her fell silent, and for a moment they forgot that she had just rudely scolded the emperor's son.
The emperor was both ashamed and annoyed. His beloved son was supposed to be the emperor, but filial piety comes first in the world. How could an unfilial prince become the emperor?
Gao destroyed his son.
But Gao was crying, and she was crying for the empress. If he criticized Concubine Gao, he would be suspected of abusing his wife.
Emperor Taikang stared at Concubine Gao without blinking, his eyes full of doubt.
Did this woman take the wrong medicine?
Didn't she hate the Queen the most before? Why is she standing up for the Queen now?
No, she was just looking for an excuse to scold her own son and accuse him of being unfilial.
Huo Nan clenched his fists angrily. How could his son be so unfilial? Since he couldn't show his filial piety to him openly, he would come to see him secretly.
Who says that one has to respect that lunatic to be filial?
Huo Nanfeng pretended to be terrified and lowered his head and said, "My noble concubine, you are the one who commands the harem."
"Even the King of Qi cannot surpass you!"
The other concubines also supported Huo Nanfeng, the good guy, in their hearts.
After all, Concubine Gao was a bit domineering on weekdays, and they all felt that she was bullying others.
What's more, Huo Nanfeng is such an honest concubine. Isn't it a bit unkind for the concubine to bully such a person?
Concubine Gao Guifei was sometimes smart. Even when there were so many people around, she didn't lose her temper.
Instead, he said to everyone earnestly: "Everyone, take a good look and listen carefully. I just said this and she blamed me."
"Have you all forgotten? She entered the palace with the Queen. When she entered the palace, the Emperor said that she and the Queen were like sisters and they knew each other well, so he asked her to take care of the Queen's food and daily life."
"I haven't made any changes to the Queen's accommodation and the staff around her over the years. Wasn't it she who arranged them all?"
Huo Nanfeng's heart skipped a beat.
The emperor did say this when he first entered the palace.
Of course, she gave this order so that she could better arrange the Queen's affairs.
Later, she realized that the queen was indeed crazy, so she didn't take it too seriously.
Arranging a few old and useless palace maids to serve the queen is useless, as long as the people are not dead.
If the person is not dead, the living crazy queen can not only increase her voice when her son returns, but also make everyone feel that the emperor values feelings.
The emperor can gain a good reputation and also control Concubine Gao's attention.
Otherwise, she would have killed the queen long ago.
But I didn't expect that Concubine Gao still remembered this incident.
The main thing is that Gao has never targeted me before. Did she take the wrong medicine today?
Why is she?
Concubine Gao Guifei was very relieved to see Huo Nanfeng's helpless expression, and she insisted, "I see that you have no good intentions at all. Are you hoping that the queen will drown?"
"Why do you hate the Queen so much? Haven't you always been peaceful and generous, helping everyone? Why can't you tolerate the Queen? Don't tell me that your previous peace and generosity were just an act."
Huo Nanfeng was so furious that Gao was exposing his past.
The other concubines exchanged glances with each other and fell into deep thought.
Yes, if Mrs. Huo was really a good person, how could she treat a madwoman like that?
They all thought that this was Concubine Gao's idea.
"Saint...I am guilty!" What else could Huo Nanfeng say at this moment? She confessed her guilt and cried, "I am old and forgot that the people around the Empress will also grow old. I was afraid that changing people would disturb Her Majesty, but I didn't expect that this might harm the Empress. Saint, please punish me."
