40, sorry
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of moving, An Ruhai couldn't help but stand there awkwardly.
A benevolent monarch has always cared about caring for the people. Even if the concubines in the palace have a higher status, they are still the emperor's subjects and they have a life!
The servants of the Jade Palace were almost ringing the death knell, but the emperor still ignored them, which was inevitably a bit unjustifiable.
But Xia Tong knew that this man had such a temper that even nine oxen could not pull him away. She did not bother to persuade him, but put on her clothes and stood up, "Father, I will come with you and have a look."
Since the emperor has given her an honorable position, she, as a good wife, must also assume corresponding responsibilities.
The emperor might have misunderstood that she was acting on his behalf, so Xia Tong smiled at him and explained, "I entered the palace with Sister Feng. Their relationship is extraordinary. How can I stand by and watch when Sister Feng is in trouble?"
The emperor's eyes made her feel like a fool.
Xia Tong thought that it turned out that White Lotus Green Tea was not easy to sell, so he had no choice but to omit the false politeness and said, "I'll come as soon as I go."
The emperor nodded and said, "Go back quickly."
Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the emperor liked honest people, which was easy to handle. She was not good at lying anyway - in front of a person whose IQ and scheming were far better than hers, it was better to give up pretending.
She originally thought that there wouldn't be many people in the middle of the night, but when she went to the Yufu Palace, Xia Tong found that it was busier than the vegetable market in the early morning. Could it be that Feng Yuzhen went to each palace to call? She couldn't tell the difference between the people.
Bar!
It was the look in An Ruhai's eyes that told her that most of the people here were here to see the emperor.
Everyone thought that something big like a suicide had occurred in the palace, and she was a beloved concubine with an extraordinary status. Feng Yuzhen was born in the Youxiang Palace, and she was a beauty when she was first named. It can be seen that the emperor's first impression of her must have been good.
But who knew that only Xia Tong came, and everyone's faces couldn't help but show disappointment.
However, Xia Tong's expression remained normal. Like the emperor, she guessed that Feng Yuzhen was not really seeking death, but was probably a ruse - otherwise, how could he be discovered by someone so coincidentally?
Unexpectedly, when he got closer and took a closer look, Xia Tong was startled. Feng Yuzhen's injury seemed serious, her face was frighteningly white, and there was a deep bruise on her neck, which seemed to be serious.
"Your Majesty, where is your Majesty?" Feng Yuzhen asked with difficulty, her voice was so hoarse that she must have hurt her throat.
Xia Tong admired her a little. Even if it was a bitter trick, it was too realistic and it was a huge sacrifice.
She took Feng Yuzhen's hand and said in a very written tone: "Your Majesty has worked very hard during the day and has rested for a while. Eunuch An and I really don't dare to disturb you."
Feng Yuzhen's eyes clearly showed frustration.
Xia Tong saw it in his eyes, but did not say anything, still sighing on his face, "Sister, why are you so ungrateful? Is the so-called reputation really as important as life?"
In fact, Feng Yuzhen didn't want to. Originally, she just hung it on the beam for show. Who knew that the system was very cunning. She had to be serious about it, otherwise how could she deceive many eyes in the palace and successfully attract the attention of others?
Come to His Majesty to show mercy? He even tied a tight knot on the white silk ribbon. Feng Yuzhen accidentally broke half of her neck. Fortunately, the Yufu Palace was in disrepair for a long time and the beams were loose and aging, so she was able to safely pick it up.
Get a life back.
As a result, His Majesty did not wait, only a group of irrelevant people came.
Feng Yuzhen very much suspected that the system was deliberately murdering and killing her host so that it could get away with it - otherwise, something like this, which failed to succeed but failed to succeed, would have been unable to survive long ago.
In any case, her desperate act has some effect. At least it proves that she is a chaste woman who cherishes her reputation. Look, just because a reckless man tore off her clothes, she did not hesitate to die to express her gratitude to the emperor.
Acting innocently.
This can be seen from the reverence on everyone's faces.
Of course, not everyone is so easy to fool. Li Mi said in a sinister tone from the side: "Sister Feng, next time you hang yourself, it's best to choose a place where no one is around, so as not to ruin your good deeds. If it doesn't work, let me hang myself."
Your Majesty can give you poisonous wine, and even Bai Ling will save money."
Feng Yuzhen couldn't argue with her, she couldn't help but look in pain, coughed and choked twice.
It seemed that she was really seriously injured, and now there was nothing anyone could say - even if it was really a show, given her enthusiasm for the performance and her courage to go into battle with real swords and guns, everyone had to accompany her to continue the performance.
Feng Yuzhen looked at Xia Tong pitifully again, "Sister Xia, I... know that your majesty only favors you now, and I don't want to argue with you. It's just that you and I entered the palace together, and we have the same sympathy as sisters. My sister is not talented, so I am willing to fight with you."
You imitate Empress E's daughter, serve His Majesty together, and never be separated..."
Those who didn't know what he said thought that Feng Yuzhen really loved her.
Xia Tong felt that when it came to pretending to be a white lotus, she had to learn from Feng Yuzhen. She pushed away Feng Yuzhen's paw and said with a smile: "Sister, let's recover from the injury. We have a long time to come, so we are not in a hurry.
"
When Feng Yuzhen saw that she refused to give him the right words and didn't even want to pretend to be virtuous, she became so angry that she spurted out two mouthfuls of blood.
There was another wave of people jumping on their backs all around.
Xia Tong suddenly remembered the spiritual springs she had secretly accumulated. Feng Yuzhen's throat disease should have been cured, but this mouth was really unpleasant, so she might as well let her be hoarse for a few more days.
Anyway, there are too many hospitals here, so it is not worth wasting resources on such a trivial matter.
The emperor had just drafted an order for Concubine Jiang to thoroughly investigate the case of indecent assault, but as soon as the order was issued, Feng Yuzhen committed suicide and no one could afford to think too much about it.
In fact, Feng Yuzhen felt guilty and was afraid that someone would find out something. Although there was a system to guarantee votes, the system had been unreliable too many times. Who knew if there would be another loophole? So she came here.
Zhao turned from passive to active. Now that she is seriously injured and lying in bed, it is hard for others to question her again.
Her predicament was relieved, but Jiang Bilan was in trouble.
Nowadays, there are rumors both inside and outside the palace that it was the imperial concubine who forced Feng Meiren to hang herself. Feng Yuzhen had always been close to her, but later she was almost humiliated by the guards. Concubine Jiang was worried that her reputation would be damaged, so she decided to eradicate the roots forever.
future trouble.
The rumors became more and more intense, and Jiang Bilan fell down in anger. The Zhou Dynasty was more civilized, and it was common for widows to remarry. It was almost impossible to chop off the hands and stamp on the feet after being touched a little. Feng Yuzhen wanted to die at this time, not to say it openly.
Is she cruel and ruthless?
But she had ordered the Yufu Palace to be strictly guarded, and there was no chance of causing trouble. However, the rumors became more and more fermented, and Jiang Bilan scratched her head and couldn't figure out who was deliberately targeting her.
Of course she couldn't find out the truth - because the rumors were spread by the emperor's orders. Liu Zhang did not hide this from Xia Tong. Anyway, the Jiang family had others take the blame for a lot of things, so it didn't hurt to take the blame this time.
Jiang Wenju didn't expect that his daughter would cause such a big trouble in the palace. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He turned around and scolded his old wife, "It's all your fault for being a bad goddaughter! Bilan is so good at being her noble concubine. Why should you imitate others and be jealous?"
This is good, His Majesty's heart has not been won over, but now our Jiang family has become the target of thousands of people!"
Mrs. Jiang was even more aggrieved. She just sent a maid who looked like the Xia family to the palace. Unexpectedly, her daughter had another big banner and took advantage of the Feng family. She probably had the two tigers in mind.
If they fight each other, they will benefit from it, but in the end, both of them are sick cats!
If I had just listened to her, it would have been over.
Seeing his wife's plausibility, Jiang Wenju became even more angry and said, "You still have the nerve to say that? Bilan can't compete with the Xia family. It's because of her own fault. Why do you want you to cause trouble? Do you think you will give away more beauties?"
, Your Majesty, will you look down upon us? How foolish! Now you have offended Mei Xia, how do you think this will end?"
Jiang Wenju made his fortune as a relative, so he naturally knew how powerful the women in the palace were. Just seeing how tightly Xia held the emperor in her hands, and no one else could reach her, he knew how powerful this woman was. This time
As for the rumors, I'm afraid she would inevitably contribute to them.
This is the master of sowing discord and killing people with a knife!
The more Jiang Wenju thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he solemnly warned his wife, "Put away your condescending attitude, go back and apologize to Miss Xia properly, and send a few more congratulatory gifts. If you can't get forgiveness from Mrs. Xia, I think the Prime Minister's wife will
Don’t do it either.”
As for himself, the feud between the Feng and Jiang families would inevitably become larger and larger, so he personally prepared a generous gift and went to the Feng family to apologize.
Feng Zaishan is also a smart man. Although he is angry that his daughter was bullied in the palace, we are all people of status and cannot harm the harmony because of it. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. This debt can be settled slowly.
The two finally reached a consensus, went to the palace to explain the misunderstanding, and shook hands to make peace. However, the two had a rift in their hearts, and after this battle, they became even more incompatible - like a broken mirror, even if the two sides were reunited.
When they are spliced together, the scars will be uneven.
Xia Tong couldn't help but sigh at the emperor's skill in playing power. Fortunately, the Xia family was useless and not worth the emperor's troubles.
As for herself, she benefited a lot from it.
Xia Tong looked at the haggard lady in front of him, and couldn't help but smile. "Why are you here, madam, free?"
