638 Disgusted, you Dongling royal family members have no heart

Everyone knows that Feng Zhan died on the battlefield, sacrificing his life for his country. Although he was defeated, for a soldier, dying on the battlefield is also an honor. But who knows how unjustly Feng Zhan died...

That year, Dongling and Nanling went to war, and Feng Zhan was the vanguard general. Due to incorrect intelligence, Feng Zhan was surrounded by Nanling. Feng Zhan realized that something was wrong and suspected that someone in Dongling was secretly colluding with Nanling with the intention of defeating Dongling.

Because he didn't know who betrayed Dongling, Feng Zhan didn't dare to send people back for help in a high-profile manner, for fear that he would be killed secretly or his information would be intercepted. He only secretly sent his trusted people back to the imperial city to report military intelligence to the emperor and ask the emperor to send reinforcements.

Feng Zhan's concerns were correct. At the beginning, there were indeed people who colluded with Nanling and wanted him, a young famous general, to die on the battlefield. However, Feng Zhan took everyone into account except the emperor to whom he was loyal.

Due to the emperor's delay, Feng Zhan died in battle before reinforcements arrived.

Logically, the emperor would have enough time to send reinforcements after receiving the military intelligence. However, Feng Zhan's urgent information arrived at the palace gate but could not be delivered to the emperor. The reinforcements Feng Zhan was waiting for only arrived three days after his death.

The reinforcements arrived, but not even Feng Zhan’s body.

Before Feng Zhan's urgent military intelligence was delivered, the Lu family in Shandong sent a concubine named Hu. The emperor was extremely pleased when he saw her, and summoned Hu to sleep with him that very day. He did not step out of the palace for three whole days. He ignored state affairs and government affairs for three days and three nights, and only favored Hu.

Three days later, the emperor came out of the harem and saw Feng Zhan's urgent military situation, but he didn't take it too seriously. Feng Zhan was a famous general who always won. He was well versed in military tactics and good at defeating the enemy with a small force. He was one of the few young men who served as generals in the Jiuzhou continent.

Feng Zhan had requested reinforcements before, and several times the reinforcements arrived late, or even did not arrive at all, but Feng Zhan had managed to hold on. This time, they were only three days late, but the emperor did not feel any danger at all, nor did he feel the slightest bit of guilt. He only said, "Suppress the news, and tell the public that Feng Zhan's memorial had just been delivered."

As the emperor wanted to cover up the scandal, few people knew about it. The emperor spent a day dealing with state affairs and discussing the memorial that Feng Zhan "just" sent with his ministers. He planned to send 100,000 reinforcements. All civil and military officials praised the emperor for his wisdom.

After dealing with state affairs, the emperor returned to the harem to play with his concubines, and was so obsessed with sex that he ignored state affairs. Many ministers and censors wrote to the emperor asking him to put national affairs first, but the emperor simply ignored them. Even Prince Su tried to persuade him, but it was of no use.

However, because of the Feng Zhan incident, the emperor did not dare to stay in the harem for several days in a row, so he would take out some time every day to handle state affairs.

As for Feng Zhan's affairs, the emperor did not take it to heart at all, because Feng Zhan acted in secret and not many people knew about it, and he had already dealt with those who knew about it. No one knew what Feng Zhan's memorial was about, and no one would accuse him of being obsessed with women and missing out on military and national affairs.

But... there was no point in covering it up, because the reinforcements arrived late, Feng Zhan's entire army was wiped out, and he died on the battlefield, his corpses trampled into meat paste by war horses.

The emperor was furious and reprimanded Feng Zhan. At the same time, he ordered the demote of the reinforcement general, saying that he delayed military intelligence. Everyone was wrong except the emperor. Feng Zhan was defeated and died, so of course he did not get the honor he deserved.

The general died in hundreds of battles, and no one thought it was wrong that Feng Zhan died on the battlefield. Even if a few people found something wrong, they were too lazy to care because Feng Zhan was dead and the emperor was furious. All the officials were experienced, and even if they knew there was a problem, they would not take it seriously and just let it go.

It's rare to be ignorant!

Although no one knew that the emperor was at fault for Feng Zhan's death, he still felt guilty and stopped favoring Hu Ji for a long time. However, there is no such thing as a leak-proof wall. Others did not know the truth, but Prince Su knew how Feng Zhan died, but...

He couldn't bring up the emperor's misconduct just for a dead person. Not only could he not talk about it, he had to conceal it for the emperor. Besides...

Even if the truth is revealed, does the emperor need to be held responsible for the death of his subject?

Of course not.

No one would say that the emperor was wrong, these people would only say the faults of others. Hu Ji seduced the emperor, and the palace ladies flattered and concealed the truth from the emperor. The emperor was unaware of it, and he was just deceived by the villain.

So Prince Su said that Feng Zhan died unjustly. A famous general died tragically on the battlefield because of a concubine. The most important thing is that no one knew about it. Everyone said that it was Feng Zhan's failure in command that killed the soldiers who rushed to the front line with him.

As for Mrs. Feng’s death!

Feng Qingchen just wanted to say that the Queen was worthy of being the Emperor's wife. They were both equally ruthless. What did it mean that Madam Feng died to save the Queen? That was not the case at all...

Her mother didn't die to save the queen, but was killed by the queen. Her mother didn't block the sword for the queen. It was the queen who pulled her mother in front of her, and the emperor used her mother's body as a shield...

Her mother blocked several swords for the queen and did not die. However, the queen was afraid that this matter would get out and she would be accused by the emperor and his ministers of being immoral and unfit to be the mother of the country. So she ordered people to push her mother off the cliff, creating the illusion that Madam Feng fell off the cliff and died while saving the queen. At the same time, she silenced all those who knew about the incident.

The Queen thought she had silenced all the people who knew about the crime, but she didn't know that a senior maid beside her lost her footing due to excessive fright and fell off the cliff like her mother.

The palace maid was lucky; she was blocked by a tree branch and did not die when she fell. But her mother was not so lucky. She was stabbed by several swords and was dead when she fell.

When the maid found her mother, her mother's body had been torn to pieces by wild beasts. The maid was frightened but sympathetic to her mother's plight, so she found a cave, dug a pit, and buried her mother's body.

The palace maid took away all the valuables from her mother, leaving only a jade pendant that her mother always wore.

There was no need to examine the remains, it was absolutely certain that it was her mother's body. She could no longer harbor hope that since her parents' remains had not been found, they might not be dead...

"Wuwuwu... Dongling Imperial Family, you are going too far. Why, why... Your lives are lives, and my parents' lives are not lives. You have committed immoral acts, so why do you want to use my parents' lives to cover up for them? Why?"

When the Ninth Prince walked in, he saw Feng Qingchen lying on the table and sobbing. Feng Qingchen was completely unaware of his arrival.

The Ninth Prince was heartbroken. Feng Qingchen had always been very alert, and he had walked in without her noticing. One could imagine how sad Feng Qingchen was at this moment.

He blamed himself for being late!

He heard the news sent by the emperor in the prison. He did not care about exposing his own strength and the people in the clan house. He directly dealt with the people sent by the emperor and rushed straight to Feng Mansion.

He knew very well the position of General Feng and Madam Feng in Feng Qingchen's heart. To Feng Qingchen, the death of these two people was a regret that she could never make up for in her lifetime. Ye Ye brought their corpses back and insulted them again and again. Feng Qingchen would definitely be so angry that she would want to kill people.

Looking at the sad and trembling Feng Qingchen, the Ninth Uncle did not have time to brush off the snow on his body. He strode to Feng Qingchen and held her in his arms: "Qingchen, don't cry!"

You still have me, I am here!
