Chapter 273 Surrounded
Huo Nanfeng scolded Feng Ying: "What an ignorant person! I really gave her face."
"She is just a country woman and her daughter is a fool. I asked the prince to give her daughter a place in the harem to show my respect for her, but she didn't even appreciate it. She is really like a toad who has been reincarnated as a worm and then a turtle. She is a dog who has no eyes or eyebrows for three lifetimes."
The trusted palace maid: "..."
"She has a grudge against our prince, so of course she doesn't want her daughter to marry our prince. Isn't she afraid that our prince will treat her daughter badly in the end?"
"How dare she look down on our prince?"
Huo Nanfeng clenched the handkerchief tightly and said, "So, this Feng family must be eliminated."
"This is very risky!" The palace maid tried to stop her.
Then he reminded her in a low voice: "I heard that the emperor has summoned Feng for four consecutive nights..."
After being looked at by Huo Nanfeng, the confidant was not afraid and continued: "But this is the fact."
Huo Nanfeng's face showed pain.
Although the emperor said that she was his favorite, she was older than him. Concubine Gao was still gorgeous and beautiful after giving birth to two sons, but she was already a middle-aged woman.
Over the years, although the emperor was kind to her, he also favored women one after another and had children with them, so he was never idle at all.
But she didn't care about those young ones, because no one loved the emperor when he was a child, and it was the older women who gave him warmth, so he liked her.
Although Feng Ying is not very old, she is not a young lady either.
Maybe it will really replace me in the emperor's heart.
Huo Nanfeng's expression turned gloomy and he said, "Then we must get rid of her, but we can't do it with our own hands. We have to borrow someone else's knife and let Concubine Gao get rid of her."
"Feng is friends with Concubine Gao's mother, so why would she be willing to help us kill Feng?"
Huo Nanfeng had already thought of a countermeasure. He raised his eyebrows, and his gentle face immediately became extremely fierce, completely different from the previous person.
She said: "Let's just say that my negotiation with Feng Ying was successful and Feng Ying sided with us."
"How is that possible?"
Huo Nanfeng nodded: "It is very likely."
Just the day before the Hibiscus Banquet, Li Jidao and Feng Ying heard a piece of news.
Huo Nanfeng killed Xiao Wenniang.
Huo Nanfeng's men went to Prince Qi's mansion in person, dragged out the domineering Xiao Wenniang from the backyard, and strangled her to death on the spot.
You should know that Xiao Wen's mother was already pregnant with Song Yun's child, and she had a miscarriage immediately.
The man was also strangled to death.
Feng Ying went to ask Li Ji, "Ah Jian, do you think this could be true?"
Li Jidao is thinking.
At this time, she missed Chen Jiaoniang very much.
After finishing the radish, he looked up and said, "Yes and no."
"Huo Nanfeng's men did carry out the plan, but Xiao Wen's mother did not die. She was saved by Song Yun, but the child is gone."
"But Huo Nanfeng didn't know about this."
Feng Ying asked: "Does Huo Nanfeng really want to kill Xiao Wenniang?"
After asking, Feng Ying suddenly realized and understood.
I heard that Prince Wu doesn't even have a concubine. Look at Song Yun, not to mention that he has a big Buddha like Xiao Wenniang, but she is also pregnant.
Most of the sons of noble families have concubines before they get married, let alone the princes.
The lady from a wealthy family doesn't care.
They were going to marry to become the mistress of the house, and they would not be stingy and refuse to marry just because of a concubine. However, the affair between Xiao Wenniang and Song Yun was known to the whole Chang'an city.
That's why Song Yun's marriage is extremely difficult.
Adding to the story of the Emperor and Huo Nanfeng, everyone can easily imagine what kind of people this father and son are.
How much women want to be Huo Nanfeng. Who would be willing to be the queen or Consort Gao and prepare wedding dresses for others?
If Prince Qi wants to have a good marriage, he has to kill Xiao Wenniang.
Feng Ying once again lamented that the people in the imperial family were all cold-blooded. Xiao Wen's mother was pregnant with Song Yun's child, so Huo Nanfeng was really ruthless.
But it has nothing to do with her. Huo Nanfeng didn't kill Xiao Wenniang for her.
Feng Ying thought that A Jian said Xiao Wen's mother was still alive, so she had to deal with this matter, lest Xiao Wen's mother suddenly jump out and bite someone at any time, and she herself would not know.
With this in mind, Feng Ying found the Li family's secret agent and passed the message to Li Hongxin, telling him that Xiao Wen's mother was still alive and asked him to find a way to find her and keep an eye on her.
If he can't do it himself, he will ask King Luoyang for help.
After the instructions were given, the Hibiscus Banquet arrived.
Concubine Gao and Concubine Xian jointly hosted the banquet and invited young ladies of marriageable age from various aristocratic families to attend the banquet.
The flower-viewing and banquet were all fake, they were just to choose concubines for the two princes.
Li Jidao and Feng Ying went there early and saw Wen Shi and Wang Duan also coming.
Seeing them, Wen Shi hurriedly pulled Feng Ying aside to talk. Wen Shi was a little anxious: "Originally, it should be the young ladies of marriageable age who came to the banquet. We have already reported that Shiqi Niang is engaged, but we still received the invitation. I am afraid that the King of Qi is not giving up."
Wang Duan and Wu Lang have exchanged engagement letters and are already engaged.
Li Jidao was very disdainful after hearing this: [Don't worry, something bad is bound to happen today, and no one can choose. But Wang Duan is facing a disaster, so don't eat anything with soup.]
She pulled Wang Duan and whispered, "Don't eat anything with soup in it."
After hearing this, Feng Ying not only did not feel relieved, but became anxious.
She is most annoyed by things like 'something going to happen'.
It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with her, she doesn't want to see anyone else get into trouble.
Besides, it might be related to her.
Feng Ying reassured the Wen family: "We, the Li family, are not so easy to bully. If the prince wants to rob us openly, we will not agree."
Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Who on earth is that Song Yun? Wasn't he Xiao Yun before?
In order to be with Xiao Wen's mother, he wanted to kill their child. Now that the Xiao family has fallen and his reputation has been ruined, he wants to let Shiqi Niang come back to him. He is really despicable.
She was afraid that Song Yun was now a prince and would force Shiqi Niang to marry him.
The Wang family now has only one official in the Secretariat and the Ministry of Personnel. Not to mention this, Shiqi Niang is a girl. If Xiao Yun wants to force her to marry him, the Wang family may not necessarily break off relations with the royal family for a girl.
But it would be different if the Li family came forward.
To put it bluntly, that is called seizing the minister's wife, and will be despised by people all over the world. If the Li family really wants to make trouble, Song Yun really doesn't dare to marry her.
With Feng Ying's guarantee, Wen smiled and took Feng Ying to talk to others.
Wang Duan was going to take Li Jidao to find her good partner.
The two men walked along the flower path above Taiye Lake and met a group of young ladies.
There are six or seven.
Wang Duan was just about to go over and say hello to everyone when an arm appeared in front of him.
It’s Song Yun.
Wang Duan was very surprised. Song Yun should not be in such a place for the time being. She said, "My Lord, please respect yourself. There are only young ladies here."
"Come with me!" Song Yun grabbed Wang Duan's arm and left. Li Jidao just turned around to look, and in the eyes of others, she must have wanted to follow, so the seven girls just now surrounded her.
