Hearing that Kang Yi was going to give some advice, Feng Jinyuan was greatly encouraged and quickly asked, "What's the matter? Tell me now!"
Kang Yi said: "It is better to be proactive than passive. Things have come to this point. You can't escape. You might as well take the initiative to apologize to the emperor. Maybe there will be a chance for a turnaround."
Take the initiative to plead guilty?
The Feng family was stunned, and the old lady asked uncertainly: "Can there really be a sudden turn of events?"
Kang Yi asked her back, "What else can we do? Are we really going to run away like the Fourth Miss said?"
An Kangyi agreed with this statement, so he also said: "The whole world belongs to the king, where can you run to? Instead of waiting for the imperial edict to punish you at home, why not take the initiative to ask for forgiveness."
The old lady didn't want to hear what An said anymore, and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Shut up! You two, mother and daughter, can't even keep an eye on a servant. She has been colluding with the Third Prince for so long, and you didn't even notice it. You even went to deliver snacks to Yao? You are an accomplice! Just wait and see, if Ah Heng can come back alive, he will definitely come to settle accounts with you!"
An had already prepared for this, and she heard her say, "No matter what, I can't escape responsibility for this matter. I will accept the punishment from the Second Miss. Even if it means taking my life, I will have no complaints."
"Hmph!" Fendai snorted coldly, "It's easy for you to say that. I really don't understand why you would send snacks to a divorced woman. The Yao family has humiliated my father. We should be united in our hatred of the enemy. Aunt An, what are you thinking?"
Fendai's words represented the old lady's thoughts, and Feng Jinyuan thought the same. So for a moment, no one in the room spoke, and An Shi did not defend herself. After all, the matter had become so chaotic, and she knew that the Feng family would not let her off easily.
At this time, Xiangrong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Why is Second Sister still not doing well? Where did she go?"
Feng Jinyuan was stunned, then he remembered that Feng Yuheng was with the Seventh Prince when they left, so he said, "Should he have gone to Prince Chun's Mansion?"
Just as he finished speaking, an attendant he had sent out to the palace to get information came back and hurried into the hall and said to Feng Jinyuan, "Master, there is news about the second young lady."
"Oh?" Everyone asked in unison, "How is the Second Miss?"
The attendant replied, "The second young lady has entered the palace and is currently kneeling in front of the square of the Qiankun Palace, but the emperor has not summoned her yet."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Feng Mansion was stunned again. Kang Yi was the first to react, and hurriedly urged Feng Jinyuan, "Ah Heng can think of a method, why are you still hesitating? Go quickly!"
The old lady also urged him: "Kang Yi is right, you should hurry up and admit your mistakes to the emperor in a good manner!"
Feng Jinyuan nodded, and without saying anything more, he led his followers and walked out of the mansion.
The old lady asked Kang Yi with a worried look on her face: "Do you think it will be useful?"
Kang Yi was also unsure because she caught a key word from the attendant just now - the emperor had never summoned her.
As for Feng Yuheng's status in Dashun, she didn't understand it very well when she first came, but now she has understood it very well. The only person who knows how to make steel was kneeling at the door of Qiankun Hall, and the emperor didn't even see him. It can be seen that the emperor was really angry about the battle between Feng Yuheng and the third prince.
Seeing Kang Yi frowning, the old lady became unsure and couldn't help but turn her gaze to the Cheng Di sisters again.
Cheng Junman understood what the old lady meant and took the initiative to speak: "I have already sent someone to the palace to see my aunt. Their pace is slower than that of the master's entourage, so don't worry, old lady."
When Cheng Junman said that she had sent someone to see the queen, the old lady finally felt relieved. After thinking for a while, she ordered the servants, "Go to the temple and release the young lady! Such a big thing happened at home, there is no need to investigate her little mistake."
Fendai was about to get angry again when she heard this, but the maid next to her, Li Luo, grabbed her wrist and shook her head slightly, signaling her to calm down. But Fendai was not willing to accept this, and despite Li Luo's objection, she said, "Grandma, your granddaughter should take Aunt Han out to hide! The trouble caused by the second sister hasn't been settled yet, and you let the eldest sister out too. What if she tries to harm Aunt Han again?"
The old lady shouted angrily: "Go, go, go! Where are you going? Han is pregnant with the child of the Feng family. She must die in the Feng Mansion!"
Kang Yi also said: "Miss Fourth, you have to think carefully. It's easy for you to leave now, but it will be difficult to come back later."
"What do you mean?" Fen Dai glared at Kang Yi: "Are you threatening me?"
Kang Yi shook his head, "I'm not threatening you, I just hope that Miss Four can be willing to stand by the Feng family through thick and thin. You are the daughter of the Feng family, even if you run away, where can you go?"
Fen Dai was speechless. She stared at Kang Yi for a long time and said unwillingly, "If you don't want to run, then don't run. But when the time comes, the Feng family will be wiped out, and no one will be blamed!"
When Feng Jinyuan arrived at the palace gate, it was already dark, but the gate was not locked. When he saw him coming, a young eunuch immediately ran up and bowed, saying, "Eunuch Zhang Yuan said that Prime Minister Feng would definitely come tonight, and asked me to wait for him here. I didn't expect that Prime Minister Feng would really come."
Feng Jinyuan shuddered: "Eunuch Zhang knew that I was coming? So, the emperor also knew?"
"Oh!" The young eunuch said, "I dare not speak nonsense about this. It is true that Eunuch Zhang asked me to wait for you here. As for whether the emperor knows about it, I dare not say. Lord Feng, please come in..." As he said that, he made a gesture of invitation and took Feng Jinyuan all the way into the palace.
Feng Jinyuan had just stepped into the palace gate when he turned around and saw that the guard had already locked the palace gate and put the key in. He was shocked and knew that he would not be able to go back that night.
Outside the palace gate, the people who came with Feng Mansion saw this situation and hurried back to report. Meanwhile, Feng Jinyuan, under the guidance of the young eunuch, also came to the square of Qiankun Palace.
He saw Feng Yuheng kneeling there at a glance. Calculating the time, the girl should have been kneeling for a long time, but she didn't look tired. She just knelt there straight, looking mysterious, and no one knew what she was thinking.
After taking two more steps closer, Feng Jinyuan finally saw Feng Yuheng's expression, and became even more confused.
What is this girl doing? Is she chanting?
Feng Yuheng's eyes were slightly closed, and her lips were moving slightly, as if she was mumbling something, but there was no sound at all. Her expression was natural and carefree, and she didn't look like she was kneeling as punishment. But she was indeed kneeling, and the eunuch said, "Princess Ji'an arrived at 3 p.m. and has been kneeling here. Prime Minister Feng is..."
"I kneel too." What else could Feng Jinyuan say? He lifted his robe and knelt beside Feng Yuheng.
The young eunuch glanced at him, said nothing more, and turned away. Feng Yuheng opened his eyes and asked, "Father, why are you here only now? I thought you should have come a long time ago! You are really carefree."
"You——" Feng Jinyuan was furious and really wanted to scold her loudly, but this was the palace, so he couldn't make a noise. He could only suppress his anger in his heart and said in a deep voice with gritted teeth: "It's all your fault!"
"Me?" Feng Yuheng's eyes also stood up, "What did father just say? Your daughter didn't hear it clearly, please say it again."
"I said it's all your fault!" Feng Jinyuan always had the urge to strangle his daughter to death.
But Feng Yuheng doesn't think so!
Then she said to Feng Jinyuan seriously, word by word: "Listen to me, Xuan Tianye killed my mother, I have only avenged half of this revenge, as long as he is not dead, I will not feel that the revenge is complete. In addition, I also remember all those who helped the tyrant! Who formed a clique to win private interests, who secretly supported, who sent a lot of silver to the Xiangwang Mansion, and who secretly helped Qian Zhou Shenshe to exchange the customs documents. These, one by one, I let the account. Don't think that your daughter can be fooled because she is young, father, if you want to play dirty, you can't play me."
Feng Jinyuan's legs trembled, and he couldn't kneel down, and fell directly to the ground.
Feng Yuheng pulled him back in time, "Since you are here to plead guilty, just kneel down properly. What's the point of you sitting here?"
Feng Jinyuan quickly knelt straight, the cold blue brick floor made his knees hurt.
"Kneel!" Feng Yuheng released his hand and said faintly, "You have to be prepared to kneel here all night. Oh no, I can go back tomorrow morning, but you may not. You may kneel longer."
Feng Jinyuan was puzzled, "How do you know that you can definitely go back tomorrow morning?"
Feng Yuheng chuckled twice: "Because Xuan Tianming will be back early tomorrow morning! Alas, how many years has it been since father knelt like this? It's embarrassing, right? Your knees hurt, right? Just bear with it, who told you to do this evil thing?"
Her words were almost pointed out. Feng Jinyuan was so angry, but he had no way to refute it. He finally understood that none of the things had been able to be hidden from Feng Yuheng. Those things that he thought he had done cleanly were all caught by others. What else could he say? Deny it? He didn't think Feng Yuheng would believe it.
Feng Jinyuan slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking to Feng Yuheng, but his thoughts were churning like a raging sea. He had thought of getting rid of Feng Yuheng more than once, but in the end, it was just someone else's hand, and he just pretended to be confused and didn't stop when the Shen family and Feng Chenyu started fighting.
But this time, Feng Jinyuan really wanted to get rid of his daughter himself.
Feng Yuheng couldn't stay any longer. This was a thought that kept coming up in his mind again and again. This time, he was even more determined!
In the Qiankun Hall, the military generals had already left the palace, leaving Emperor Tianwu alone sitting in the hall, casually reviewing memorials but looking somewhat absent-minded.
Zhang Yuan replaced the tea for him, and then whispered, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Feng has finally arrived, and he is kneeling outside with the county lady."
Tianwu snorted coldly, "He came after dark, he really has a lot of intentions."
Zhang Yuan followed his words and said, "Kneel for a few less hours and make up for it tomorrow. Your Majesty, please don't get angry and hurt yourself."
Tianwu put his pen on the table, drank a sip of tea, and then asked Zhang Yuan with a sly look, "Do you think the people over there can come?"
