It was clearly the guard of honor of the East Palace, how could it be two women who came down
Not all courtiers have seen Feng Yuexian herself, and more people have only heard of her name.
As for the other person, he had clearly never seen him before, but his face seemed familiar.
"How is this going?"
"One of them should be the Crown Princess?"
"I do know that the one on the right is the crown princess of the Feng family - but she is a female family member, so she shouldn't come."
During the banquet, the courtier looked at Song Piangan and Feng Yuexian and whispered.
Holding the jade cup, the emperor looked at Song Pian's brows from a distance, and was stunned for a while.
—Looks like the big princess under his knees
This daughter has always lived in a secluded place. If he thinks of it someday, he may ask a question, but he has never sat in the Mingshou Palace all these years. Looking at it now, it is a little difficult to recognize each other.
When she and the Crown Princess walked side by side in the middle of the banquet, getting closer, the emperor could see her more clearly.
It's slick indeed.
The emperor took out the majesty of being a father and said in a deep voice:
"You are not in the palace to be raised, why did you come to the banquet of the courtiers, it's a nonsense."
He turned to look at Feng Yuexian:
"Why did you accompany her and break the rules?"
He first scolded him angrily, put on a stand in front of the courtiers and his brothers, and then asked leisurely:
"Where's the prince? But sick?"
The King of Chu drank half a glass of wine next to him, suppressing his shock.
He glanced at Li Zi Yaoyao, his eyes swept across Li Fang, and when the emperor said this, he cupped his hands and said:
"Brother, I have something to do—"
"Don't worry, Uncle."
Song Piantao's voice was neither high nor low, demure like water, but he kept the remaining words of the King of Chu stuck in his mouth.
The king of Chu's eyelids jumped twice.
What do you mean by not working yourself? Song Pianjiao knew what she was going to say? So how is she going to break it
Immediately afterwards, he understood—
Song Pian, who was standing in the banquet, looked petite because of her dark clothes.
She spoke in an extremely flat tone, as if announcing a fact:
"Father, the royal brother can't come."
"He's not ill, he's..." Song Pian moved her red lips and spit out the following words, "It's long since passed away."
Her words fell like rocks into a calm lake, smashing into a cacophony of uncertainty.
Song Piangan really dared!
The King of Chu did not wait for the emperor to react, and immediately put on the air of an elder:
"You are so young, and you don't respect your elder brother. His Royal Highness is obviously born in the East Palace. I still want to have a drink with His Royal Highness. If you open your mouth, it means that the Prince has died and the East Palace has no owner?"
"If so, who is the prince whom the ministers have seen recently? Where did the real prince go?"
The King of Chu was extremely disapproving on his face, but every word was leading Song Pian to speak.
When Song Piantao jumped out, he was confused at first, then immediately followed the trend and changed his strategy.
Didn't Song Piangan want to reveal his identity? If he falls into trouble again, he will lose his demeanor. It is better to be a good uncle who cares about the prince like this.
The questioning of the King of Chu immediately resonated with the ministers.
"I saw His Highness yesterday, it's impossible!"
"How could this be."
"Isn't the princess making a fool of yourself, why did the crown princess follow her—"
…
Naturally, there are also smart people who judge the situation and the situation.
Qi Zheng was one of them. He noticed that King Li, who was not far away, did not say a word, and his eyes were on Feng Yuexian.
Looking further into the distance, Zuo Xiang, Deng Bo, Zhao Tiancheng, and all the military generals of the family, they were the most careless and open-mouthed on weekdays, but today they are as good as domestic cats.
On the stage, the emperor finally recovered.
The emperor was obviously very angry, no matter if what Song Pianjiao said was true or not, daring to say such a thing at the banquet was a great challenge to his majesty.
Not to mention, in case what this lawless daughter said was true—
"You know what you're talking about!"
The emperor lowered his eyes and glared, but in the hall, his daughter raised her head and said loudly:
"My son naturally knows."
She turned her head to the side, and a pair of clear eyes cut through the void, like frost with chills:
"Uncle Huang, don't you know the answer to what you asked?"
Not to mention the King of Chu, King Li, King Xin, who was on the side, could not help but shudder under her gaze.
The king of Chu was alarmed.
The inside and outside meaning of these words is to find out what he did
Although he admits that he has not missed too much, and that the matter of digging the prince's tomb can also be blamed on the word "loyalty", it is ugly to tear his face.
The King of Chu twitched the corners of his lips, trying his best to make his face look natural:
"Such a ridiculous thing, I don't—"
"Uncle Huang doesn't know, that's all."
The King of Chu was stunned.
He looked at Song Piantao with a hint of stunned expression in his eyes.
Song Piangao let him go so easily? Why didn't she take this opportunity to clamber on herself
He couldn't figure out Donggong's tricks at all!
At this point, the King of Chu was convinced that the East Palace was doomed, and raised it little by little.
But Song Piantao ignored him.
The one she is going to contend with at the moment is not the ambitious feudal lord of the little one wolf.
It is the father of Song Yuhe, the original body in the hall, who has not fulfilled his duties, and is the emperor of the world.
It's patriarchy, and it's monarchy.
The emperor was waiting for her answer.
Song Piantao's heart sank, she was not in a hurry, she made a sad expression on her face, three points were true, seven points were false.
"On the day of the wedding in the East Palace, the emperor lost his life. The emperor's brother during these days was all dressed up by me."
"It's so daring! Why are you deceiving the king!" The emperor slapped the table in anger, "And the crown prince, do you know that? You didn't even tell me!"
Seeing that the emperor was directly angry, King Li glanced at Feng Yuexian who had been standing beside Song Pianjiao, and stopped him:
"This may be a joke. Brother Huang, don't be in a hurry, why don't you let someone investigate?"
This is to help, and it is what he really thinks.
Is there really a seamless disguise in the world? Or women dressed as men
Although they look alike, they are far from looking at the figure, not to mention the ability of the prince.
The ministers couldn't help but nod in agreement with King Li. They still can't believe that this woman... is the "Prince" who is thoughtful, capable, and decisive in killing
Under the suspicious gazes of the ministers, Song Pian turned towards the emperor and bowed.
She was born graceful, and with this movement, she was as delicate as a reed being blown by the wind and her waist was shortened.
At the negotiating table, Song Pianjiao has always been tough and flexible, and it is easy to break down.
The advantage she has in this matter is the cause of the prince's death, which has never been revealed.
- Even if the people of the King of Chu had done the autopsy, the King of Chu had already made an appearance that he did not know, and at this time, he would be speechless.
Before Song Piantai could speak, her eyes turned red.
"Father Emperor Mingjian, if I can tell Father Father, I'm just a girl. Although I have read the book of sages and been taught by my brother, I don't dare to take the initiative to cover up such a big thing with you."
"What's more, as soon as the emperor goes, why don't I want him to be buried in the emperor's mausoleum, so that he can rest in peace?"
Song Piantao's words were filled with grief. She used to be tough before and would not shy away from reprimands, but now she turned to show her softness, which really made the old emperor choked in his throat.
But he thought, yes, Song Pian is no more than a princess in the deep palace, how dare to do this
Was it under the instigation of someone
The emperor immediately looked at Feng Yuexian with sharp eyes.
"Is it the princess you instigated?"
It must have been Feng Yuexian who manipulated his daughter as a puppet behind the scenes after learning that the prince was gone, or tricked Pian Tiao to help her succeed.
No wonder this fake prince also has a good ability.
If so, everything makes sense.
The emperor looked at Feng Yuexian coldly, he couldn't tell, the matter of the prince's death had nothing to do with Feng Yuexian!
Song Piantao frowned slightly, and before Feng Yuexian could meet the emperor, he stood in front of her and replied:
"Of course not. But this matter has something to do with the East Palace wedding."
She looked up:
"Father Huang Mingjian, the emperor's brother married Feng Yuexian, someone was unhappy, and he poisoned the emperor's brother with the heart of a chaotic minister and a thief."
"Before the emperor's death, he instructed Feng Yuexian to help me, pretend to be a prince, and use me as bait to catch the traitorous ministers and thieves who are doing devious things behind their backs."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent.
Involved in such a secret, they dare not talk about it any more.
Song Piantao said very vaguely, but in his words he implied that someone didn't want to see the royal family and the Feng family unite, and saw the Feng family resign to the imperial power, fearing that the royal family would be stable, so he killed the prince.
This idea sounds very smooth and believable.
Many people are like Ming Jing'er in their hearts. Although they dare not speak, they all look at the King of Chu openly and secretly.
The King of Chu looked stiff and numb.
If he didn't know in his own heart, he didn't succeed with the Donggong iron bucket, and at this time he couldn't help but believe that he succeeded in killing Song Yu.
The emperor was also shocked by this remark.
No matter how much anger, it was suppressed by the fear brought by the truth.
There are frequent ghosts in the palace, and even he used the tricks of his second son. At this time, I heard that another son was also poisoned...
Will it be him next
The emperor did not have time to investigate the crime of deceiving Song Feng and the two of them, and hurriedly asked:
"Have you found out who was behind the scenes?"
"With Feng Yuexian's help, I have found it." Song Pian sighed softly, "Otherwise, my son wouldn't dare to see you in person."
"who is it!"
Song Piantao didn't reply quickly this time.
"It's rare to have a good month today, don't let the beauty of the good time live up to you."
"After the banquet, Erchen will talk to you slowly."
How can you say no to that
The courtier who was holding his ears at the bottom was anxious, and the emperor almost scolded Song Pian for not distinguishing between priority and secondary.
But when he saw so many people in the hall, he finally remembered the few remaining royal faces, and then he sullen and acquiesced.
Naturally, he was even more dissatisfied with Song Pianjiao. At this time, he was the governor. Why did he choose to say it here before, didn't he deliberately make his face look dull
After the horror passed, the anger that challenged the majesty in the emperor's heart rekindled.
That's all, after the banquet, listen to what Song Piantao has to say, and then send it out together.
However, for Feng Yuexian, who also deceived you—
The emperor slaps his sleeves:
"Prince Concubine, this is not the place you should come, Hong Chang, send the Concubine out to rest."
Said to rest, but in the tone, the storm was about to come. It seemed that he was going to vent his anger on outsiders.
Prince Li immediately looked at the generals of the Feng family. Seeing that several elders clenched their fists, even Feng Chenyi's eyes became sharp, and he resolutely advised:
"Wait, the Crown Princess will come to the family banquet with you. The Crown Princess is here. Brother Huang, look, is this the truth?"
Qi Zheng followed closely:
"This... The princess is weak. If you let the Crown Princess look after him, you will feel more at ease when you think about it."
The king stared.
King Li was his brother, so he just persuaded himself for the sake of royal dignity.
Why even Qi Zheng helped Feng Yuexian
Qi Zheng Zilai was the solitary minister of the emperor. He didn't help anyone, only the emperor. The emperor relied on him very much.
"That's all." The emperor staunchly dropped a sentence and didn't care anymore.
After the autumn, the reckoning is, in short, Fengyue can't run away.
Qi Zheng sat back and wiped the sweat from his forehead without a trace.
Although she was talking for Fengyue leisurely, she had some kind of consideration for her kindness. But this matter is unusual, he did not intend to rashly shot.
But at that moment, he keenly heard that what sounded together with King Li's voice was the slight friction of soft armored weapons.
He hissed softly, looked up, and took a closer look.
Only then did I discover that after the emperor gave the order to take action against Feng Yuexian, the first ones to react were the many imperial guards.
When, in the shadows on both sides, there were so many silent forbidden troops hidden!
In order to prevent the situation from ending, he took the risk and stood up to stop it.
The emperor only regarded him as his loyal advice, but he didn't know that if he didn't change his mind, it was very possible—
Tonight's bright moon will witness the change of the dynasty.
I don't know if anyone other than him heard that small but deadly voice.
Is there anyone else? In the thick shadow of the tree, the soft armored long sword is bright and cold.
Qi Zheng only knew that after this, no one dared to stand up and refute Donggong.
Not even the King of Chu made a sound.
The ritual, music and dance girls came slowly, and the banquet was very lively, but cautious.
There is no place for a princess here, Song Pianguang and Fengyue are idly entering the table in the Eastern Palace.
The two women sat side by side in splendid clothes, and in a row full of men, they were indescribably striking and self-contained.
During the action, extraordinarily calm.
Feng Yue sat leisurely on the table, next to Song Pian, the octagonal palace lantern was emitting a slightly drunken light, and the wine was rich in color.
As her sleeves fluttered, she and Song Pian mingled in their eyes.
Feng Yuexian pursed her lips slightly, her eyes glittered, and her sleeves filled with the fragrance of wine, as she toasted her with a glass of wine.
Song Piantao used tea instead of wine, and was able to reciprocate.
it is more than words.
The first half of the play was over.
