There were originally five sisters, but this year two were missing. Bai Furong and Ren Xifeng both went to Ji'an County, which made Xuan Tiange and Feng Tianyu very envious. Feng Yuheng said to them, "I'm afraid it's too late to leave now, otherwise you can go out and avoid the limelight."
Xuan Tiange said sullenly: "Tianyu can go, but I can't. After all, she is a royal princess, and it is not easy for me to go out."
Feng Tianyu said, "Why do I feel like it's not easy for me to go out? Even if it was Xifeng, if she hadn't left so early and in a hurry, I'm afraid it would have been too late as Ah Heng said." As she spoke, she glanced at a few people and lowered her voice and said, "Ah Heng is already married, so there's no need to worry about this. I want to remind you of one thing, be careful that the Eighth Prince will set his sights on us. Especially Tiange, you are a princess, the only daughter of King Wenxuan, and I am the legitimate daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. The Eighth Prince wants to control the government, and our two families are the biggest obstacles he can't get. Be careful that he attacks us."
Xuan Tiange frowned, and after thinking about it, he understood a little, "You mean, he will instigate Uncle Huang to arrange a marriage so that our two families will have to lean towards him?"
Feng Tianyu nodded, with worry between his brows, "You are her sister, don't worry about him having other ideas. I am just afraid that he has not yet married and has no engagement. If he sets his sights on coming to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, do you think it would be better for me to hang myself or take poison? Or is there any other way to die?"
Xuan Tiange also felt a headache, and at the same time he started to worry about himself: "He can't make plans against me, but that doesn't mean he can't make plans for others. Tianyu, when you say that, I'm also worried!" After saying that, he glanced at Xiangrong and said, "Xiangrong, you have to settle the matter with Seventh Brother quickly. Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because your Feng family has no power now. Don't forget that you still have a second sister! Using you to threaten Ah Heng is the best way."
The thought of letting them talk made them feel cold all over, but how could she grasp such a thing? Although the Seventh Prince's attitude towards her was somewhat ambiguous in the past few days, she always felt that the feeling was unreal. Xuan Tianhua's kindness to her was always mixed with some complicated emotions, revealing endless sadness, which made her dare not enjoy the care too much, let alone whether it was settled or not.
Feng Yuheng looked at the three people's worried expressions and didn't know how to persuade them. Feng Tianyu's worries were not groundless. She had thought about this matter a long time ago. Now the Eighth Prince controls the former dynasty, and Concubine Yuan Shu controls the harem. Once the two of them want to exert their strength, Xuan Tiange and Feng Tianyu, who are still waiting to be married, will be the first to bear the brunt and become the targets of their choice. Emperor Tianwu now listens to Concubine Yuan Shu in everything. As long as Concubine Yuan Shu says a word, it is very likely that these two people will be married off tomorrow. As for the various ways of death mentioned by Feng Tianyu, they were obviously angry words. When that time comes, Concubine Yuan Shu and the Eighth Prince have plenty of ways to make them want to live but cannot, and want to die but cannot. The threat of the family alone is enough for the two of them to commit the crime. Let me ask, if Feng Tianyu commits suicide, the whole family of the right prime minister will be executed. Will she still dare to die?
With sorrow in their hearts, several people walked towards Jingci Palace step by step to pay homage to the Empress. This was the primary task for the ladies who entered the palace from Ruimen every year. In the past, this avenue leading to Jingci Palace was the busiest, with crowds of people everywhere. But today was different. It was deserted and the number of people going to Jingci Palace could be counted on one's hands.
A nanny who led the way sighed and said helplessly: "Most of the people have gone to Cunshan Palace. The wind in the palace has changed so quickly now. They would rather go to pay homage to Concubine Yuan Shu than come to Jingci Palace. But the queen is still the queen? Concubine Yuan Shu is so blatant, isn't she afraid of retribution?"
Another maid at the side said quickly, "Keep your voice down. If others hear this, we will be in trouble. The palace is full of their people now. It's not like before."
"No problem." The old nanny who spoke earlier waved her hand. "Those who can walk to Jingci Palace are all our people. Since they didn't go to Cunshan Palace, they naturally won't spread such words."
Feng Yuheng felt sad when she heard these words, but what could she do? If she couldn't change Emperor Tianwu back to his former self, everything else would be in vain. She came to the palace today, not only because she had to, but also because she wanted to try to take Zirui out. Leaving Zirui in the palace was always a knot in her heart. She couldn't guard him 24 hours a day, so she was always worried, fearing that Zirui would have an accident. She had thought that if she couldn't take Zirui away openly today, she would come in again tomorrow night and steal Zirui out. This pot of water for framing must be put on the head of Lao Ba.
Finally, they arrived at Jingci Palace. Because there were not many people, they did not enter in batches. They all went in together to pay homage to the queen. The queen no longer had the momentum she had in the past. Looking at the sparse crowd below, she sighed helplessly and raised her hand and said, "Everyone, get up. Since there are no outsiders, don't be bound by these etiquettes. I am very pleased that you can come here today, but apart from being pleased, I can't promise you anything else. Everything is being prepared at the Jade Palace. I think someone will come to invite you in a while. Just sit down and wait."
The queen looked tired and had no intention of accepting the gifts in person, so Fangyi took them and handed them to the little palace maid to store them. People also knew that the times were different now, and they were listless, and three or five people gathered together to talk in low voices.
The Queen waved to Feng Yuheng and the others. Xuan Tiange took the lead and walked forward, saying to the Queen: "My mother asked me to tell the Queen that she is not feeling well and will not come to the palace today." After that, she spread her hands and said: "Your Majesty knows, those people at the palace gate are too much."
The Queen also heard about what happened at the palace gate, but unfortunately, she no longer had that power. Those guarding the palace gate were all the Eighth Prince and Concubine Yuan Shu's men, and no one could listen to her. She just sighed and said to Xuan Tiange, "It's better not to come, so that you don't have to go to the palace for nothing and get bullied. Your mother has never been in good health, so let her take good care of herself at home. I'll ask someone to bring you some warm and nourishing things later."
Xuan Tiange nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then she found a seat to the side and sat down. She knew that the Queen asked them to come over mainly because she wanted to talk to Feng Yuheng.
Sure enough, after a few greetings, the Queen kept Feng Yuheng by her side, and then asked Fang Yi to call Zhang Yuan out.
Feng Yuheng was a little surprised to see Zhang Yuan in Jingci Palace. Seeing Zhang Yuan become so thin in a few days, and his hands were red and swollen and shrunk into his sleeves, she couldn't help but frown again. The Queen told her: "This is the inevitable result of entering the Criminal Slave Division. Zhang Yuan is still good. He didn't lose his life, but just suffered some torture. I think it must be Concubine Yuan Shu who tortured him intentionally, so she saved his life!" After that, she looked at Zhang Yuan again and shook her head helplessly, "Don't hide your hands, stretch them out for Princess Yu to see. Now only Princess Yu dares to show you the injuries." After that, she said to Feng Yuheng: "I lost all my face in front of the emperor to get him to Jingci Palace, thinking that the emperor would want to see this servant when he wakes up one day. Ah Heng, you can take a look at his injuries. He was really tortured in the Criminal Slave Division."
Feng Yuheng nodded without saying anything. He cast his eyes towards the two hands that Zhang Yuan stretched out, feeling deeply moved.
She was once a very popular eunuch. Every time she saw Zhang Yuan and Emperor Tianwu getting along, she felt full of gay feelings. But she didn't expect that he would end up like this now. She reached into her sleeves and took out ointment and anti-inflammatory oral medicine from the space and handed them to Zhang Yuan. They were no different from the medicine she gave him last time. Zhang Yuan knew how to use them at a glance and quickly knelt down to thank him, but was helped up by Feng Yuheng, who then whispered to him, "Stay alive. Believe me, the emperor will wake up one day."
Feng Yuheng's words were the best medicine for Zhang Yuan. It was as if he had been injected with vitality, making the eunuch full of energy again. He wanted to say a few more words to Feng Yuheng, but there were so many people around, so it was difficult to say anything. He could only bow and thank him repeatedly until Feng Zhaolian, dressed in red, floated out like a ghost. He then stepped back and stood in the place where a servant should stand. ℃≡℃≡℃≡Pavilion℃≡
Feng Zhaolian didn't treat herself as an outsider at all. She sat directly next to the queen and waved at Feng Yuheng: "Ah Heng, you are here!"
Feng Yuheng wanted to curse! What does it mean? The palace is in such a mess, why does this Feng guy look a little fatter? His face is even more rosy, and the whole person is like a girl thinking about love, no matter how you look at him... he is beautiful. What a demon! She sighed in her heart, and then turned her head to look at Xiangrong. Sure enough, Xiangrong was also staring at Feng Zhaolian, and her hands were tightly twisting the handkerchief, almost squeezing out water.
Feng Zhaolian had no awareness of being a love rival. She even greeted Xiangrong, "Hi! Hello, the third girl of the Feng family! Why are you dressed so plainly today? Don't you know that the Seventh Prince's favorite color is red?"
With just one sentence, Xiangrong's face immediately turned red, and she simply lowered her head and ignored him.
Feng Yuheng glared at Feng Zhaolian and said, "If you mess with my sister again, I'll beat you up."
"Ah Heng, you are still so violent." Feng Zhaolian said with a smile: "I was just joking. Do you like the atmosphere to be so depressing all the time? Life in the palace is already hard and long. If you keep frowning all day long, how can you live?" After that, she asked the queen: "Don't you think so?"
The Queen had no way to deal with her, so she naturally ignored his outspoken words, but she had a piece of news to tell Feng Zhaolian.
