readx(); Concubine Li was embarrassed by what Fendai said, and she casually retorted: "What if I don't want to watch the fun? Are you asking me to rescue the child?"
"This is the Imperial Palace!" Feng Fendai was anxious. "Another incident happened during your palace banquet. Shouldn't Concubine Li send someone to rescue them immediately? Are you just going to stand there and watch?"
Zuo'er whispered in Concubine Li's ear: "Your Majesty, we should indeed rescue her."
But Concubine Li had no idea how to save the child, so Zhu Kongshan interrupted and said, "Call a few palace maids to bring a long rope and throw it into the middle of the lake. Let the child grab the rope, and we will gently pull it back. It's slippery on the ice, so it should be easy to pull it back."
Concubine Li snorted coldly, and then ordered the servants: "What are you still standing there for? Go find a rope!" After that, she glanced at Feng Fendai and said unwillingly: "Don't come to a place you shouldn't come to. Not only did you come uninvited, but you also brought a child with you. You ruined the palace banquet!"
Feng Tianyu thought this was a bit excessive and whispered, "Does Concubine Li have a grudge against Feng Fendai? I only knew that Concubine Li had a weird temper and didn't like to interact with people. But today, I see that she is a bit mean!"
Ren Xifeng also said: "Indeed, no matter what, she is just a child. Even if Feng Fendai was ignorant and provoked her, it has nothing to do with the child. Concubine Li's attitude shows that she not only doesn't like to interact with others, but is simply a cold-blooded and heartless person."
Feng Yuheng also looked at Concubine Li at this moment, and felt that this person's mentality was really a bit twisted. Thinking about it again, since the last winter enclosure, what could Concubine Li do that was normal? She shook her head. It was true that there must be something hateful about pitiful people. With Concubine Li's mentality and character, it was no wonder that people in the palace were unwilling to associate with her for so many years. As she thought, her body slowly moved, and she actually rubbed against the ladies who threw Xiaobao on the ice.
Soon, the palace servants dragged a long rope over, and a eunuch threw the rope hard onto the ice, which frightened Fan Dai so much that she kept shouting, "Gently! Gently! Be careful not to break the ice."
The eunuchs were also very distressed. If the rope was too light, they couldn't throw it far enough. If it was too heavy, they were afraid it would break the ice. It was really difficult. After throwing it five or six times, the rope finally reached Xiaobao's feet. Fendai was overjoyed and shouted, "Xiaobao! Grab the rope! Hurry up and grab the rope!"
Unfortunately, the child was too young and had been frightened out of his wits. He just kept crying and was not willing to listen to Fendai. Fendai shouted on the shore until her voice became hoarse, but Xiaobao still refused to listen and grab the rope. Fendai cried anxiously. When she turned around, she saw the three instigators were still standing there, even with a smug look on their faces. She became furious and rushed over to grab one of them by the neck, shouting, "I told you not to be smug! I told you not to hurt people! I will strangle you to death today! If anything happens to my brother, you will all be buried with him."
She was like crazy, pinching the young lady so hard that she rolled her eyes and was about to suffocate. The people around her were anxious and rushed forward to try to separate the two, but Fendai's hands were like iron pliers, so that the more the young lady struggled, the more uncomfortable she felt, and gradually she lost her strength.
Zhu Kongshan was anxious. Although these people had caused trouble, it was just a child after all. She was the one who brought him in. If Feng Fendai strangled him to death because of a child, she would not be able to explain to the other party's family when she left the palace!
She wanted to go over and persuade them, but there were too many people around, and even Concubine Li was so anxious that she had no choice. She squeezed several times but failed to squeeze forward. At this time, she glanced and saw Feng Yuheng standing aside indifferently, watching the chaos like a spectator. She was moved and hurriedly walked up to Feng Yuheng and said, "Princess! Quickly ask Miss Feng to stop! If she continues to pinch, someone will really die!"
Feng Yuheng looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why should she stop? If Miss Zhu really has such a kind heart, why didn't she think of a way to save the child? Or ask the people you brought with you why they pushed their brother into the lake?"
Zhu Kongshan was very anxious. She said to Feng Yuheng, "Now is not the time to hold people accountable. Princess Yu may be really angry. After the child is rescued, I will let you hold those people accountable. Can we not let anyone get killed now?" She observed Feng Yuheng's expression while she spoke. However, seeing Feng Yuheng's expression, as if the matter had nothing to do with her, she couldn't help but get really anxious. She said, "Miss Feng is your biological sister. If she strangled that lady to death, Princess Yu, you must be involved, right?"
Feng Yuheng raised his eyebrows: "What? Do you want to exterminate the entire clan if you strangle someone to death? What a joke. Not to mention that I have been included in the royal family tree and have nothing to do with the Feng family. Even if I am not the Princess Yu, I am still a member of the Feng family tree. If the younger sister of the great Princess Ji'an strangles someone to death, can't I protect her?"
As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted, "That child is a bastard. It's best if he dies!"
After hearing these words from Xuan Tiange, the eldest princess could no longer hold back and started to scold, "It is not your turn to act rashly no matter what! It is fine that you are scheming against each other, but the child didn't provoke you, and Miss Feng didn't provoke you either, right? You are so cruel, it really opened my eyes."
As Xuan Tiange spoke, Feng Tianyu also spoke up, "Yes! I heard that you usually do good deeds to benefit the people in the north of the city, but why didn't you show any kindness today?"
"Not only did they not show any kindness, they also acted very viciously!" Ren Xifeng said immediately, "I really don't understand how such a vicious person could go to the north of the city to distribute porridge and food all day long? Are you all two-faced?"
After that, there was a cold snort, and finally, Feng Yuheng raised his voice and said, "Some people originally have no hatred or resentment, but they just like to make trouble for others. They always think they are superior to others. Kong Que knows where the superiority of the children of officials of the third, fourth, and fifth ranks comes from? What Miss Feng and Miss Ren said just now is very right. Why do people like you go to the north of the city to distribute porridge? We need to explore the truth in depth." After speaking, he looked at Feng Tianyu and said, "Tomorrow, we have to ask the right prime minister to report to the court so that we can investigate the real purpose of these people's charity."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for people to react, she suddenly used her Qing Kung Fu to jump up and headed straight for the ice.
Amid the people's exclamations, Feng Yuheng picked up Xiao Bao, who was sitting on the ice and crying, and turned around, returning to the shore in the blink of an eye.
When Fen Dai saw that Xiao Bao was saved, she no longer cared about pinching him, and rushed forward to hug the child and cried loudly. Feng Yuheng glanced at the two of them, turned back and told Huang Quan: "Keep an eye on him." After saying that, he actually reached into his sleeve, summoned his whip from the space, and then walked into the crowd...
Under her pressure, people unconsciously made way for her. In front, two young ladies stood there stupidly, and another one had been strangled to the ground by Fen Dai. Feng Yuheng treated everyone equally, whether they were standing or lying down. She swung the whip around their waists and threw them directly onto the ice without any courtesy.
People cried out in unison, watching Feng Yuheng whip three people with three whips, and the three people slammed hard into the ice, which cracked instantly under the force. The three delicate young ladies broke through the ice and fell into the water before they could even utter half a cry of surprise, and there was no sound anymore.
Everyone gasped and looked at Feng Yuheng in surprise. Some people immediately started to think about it. They all knew that Princess Yu and her fourth sister from her mother's family were not on good terms, so they dared to bully Feng Fendai's brother like this. But what was going on? Not on good terms? Was this the proper behavior for not getting along? It was clearly to vent Feng Fendai's anger!
Not to mention them, even Feng Fendai looked at Feng Yuheng in great confusion. At this moment, Zhu Kongshan screamed in shock, "What are you doing? You are committing murder!"
"Oh?" Feng Yuheng squinted at her and swung the whip in her hand again, "Murder? The person who threw the child into the middle of the lake must have also committed murder. Killing someone means paying with one's life. Regardless of whether the killing was successful or not, the charge of murder must be established. Now this princess will throw the three of them into the lake. If they die, it will be considered as paying with their lives!" After saying that, she glanced at Zhu Kongshan again, "If Miss Zhu's mind is not clear, this princess doesn't mind sending you down to cool down as well."
"You..." Zhu Kongshan cried anxiously. Seeing the three people struggling in the lake getting weaker and weaker, she began to feel cold in her heart. She couldn't help but question Feng Yuheng again: "Are you really not afraid of anything? Those are three lives!"
"Why should I be afraid?" Feng Yuheng asked in confusion: "They are not afraid of killing a child, so why should I be afraid of punishing the murderer? Miss Zhu, you have never been so compassionate to the child before. It seems that you are also a person who can't distinguish between good and evil. I think that tomorrow, the Right Prime Minister will add another item about you in his report."
Feng Tianyu nodded in agreement and said, "I will definitely remember to tell my father exactly what happened today. It turns out that the so-called North City Kind-hearted Team has such kind hearts."
Zhu Kongshan knew that she couldn't win against Feng Yuheng, so she quickly turned around and said to Concubine Li: "Your Majesty! The three girls who fell were all from official families. If we don't send someone to salvage them, it will be too late! Your Majesty, don't want anyone to die at your own palace banquet, right? That would not benefit anyone!"
Concubine Li was shocked. She naturally understood this truth. But the girl was thrown down by Feng Yuheng. She was still thinking, if she supported Feng Yuheng at this time, would Feng Yuheng have a better impression of her? It was worth it to exchange the daughters of three little officials for Feng Yuheng's good impression.
But before she could finish her sweet dream, Feng Yuheng said, "Find the person out! No matter if he's dead or alive, we have to get him out, to prevent this lake from being haunted in the future."
As soon as she said this, the palace servants did not wait for Concubine Li's order and immediately took action. Soon, three half-dead people were fished out of the lake. It was a cold day, and everyone knew that even if they were not dead, they would still be skinned.
At this time, Concubine Li said, "Don't stand here. The people have been fished out. It's up to fate whether they live or die. You all go back to Changning Palace. Our palace banquet has to continue..."
