"Concubine Fang Ci, there are all witnesses and physical evidence, what do you have to say?"
In Princess Qi's courtyard, Princess Qi sat on the grand master's chair in the main seat, and gave Fang Ziteng a condescending glance.
Fang Ziteng glared viciously at a maidservant in emerald clothes standing next to Princess Qi, Lu Yi, a lowly servant girl, really cheated, Princess Qi's little kindness actually bought her off!
That point of physical evidence is insufficient, but Lu Yi is in some trouble. Luyi is her dowry maid, what she said may sow seeds of doubt in King Qi's heart...
The corner of Princess Qi's mouth curled into a sneer, and she gave a woman with a big arm and a round waist a wink, "Don't feed Fang Cifei this bowl of soup!"
"How dare you!" Fang Ziteng glared at the woman viciously, and couldn't help touching her lower abdomen...
In fact, Fang Ziteng's heart is not as confident as she shows: Princess Qi is a muddlehead, her mind is in a daze, and she really can do anything. For example, on the wedding night, I actually wanted to call the eldest daughter-in-law to serve the sick, even if I was scolded by King Qi later, I still called the eldest daughter-in-law in front of my mother-in-law every day to set the rules... After all, I am a human being in the palace. Single Potential Thin!
Hong Ying has already gone, but he still needs to buy more time and rely on more.
Fang Ziteng's eyes flashed, and he raised his eyes and said: "Princess, how can I say that she is the second concubine bestowed by the queen, even if the concubine wants to dispose of me, she should let my natal family be present?"
Fang's family is not in the capital, and Fang Ziteng's only relative in the capital is the Zhennan Palace. Of course Fang Ziteng was not counting on Nangong Yue, but another master of Zhennan Palace, Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei is her own cousin, how could she not help her cousin?!
Princess Qi hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Guan Nanny, who nodded.
In any case, Fang Ziteng was not a lowly concubine in the mansion after all, but the second concubine bestowed by the queen. Fang Ziteng's request is reasonable. If the princess disposes of her privately now, then if Princess Zhennan comes to question her in the future, Princess Qi may have ten mouths and she will not be able to tell clearly.
"Concubine Fang Ci is right." Princess Qi took a deep breath and said with a sneer, "This princess will order someone to invite Zhennan Wang Shizifei." Anyway, with all the witnesses and evidence, Fang Ziteng will not be able to turn the tables...
Nanny Guan took the order to go, and after a while, a green horse-drawn carriage drove out from Prince Qi's Mansion, and hurried to Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
When Nanny Guan arrived at Zhennan Palace, Nangong Yue was with Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei brought the set of "The Legend of Gu Liang" to return the book. She couldn't get enough of this "Biography of Gu Liang", and some of the experiences and insights that Huang Ruhong wrote in it made her feel enlightened. It's a pity. Although the maid next to her had read, she could only read some words. Xiao Fei felt that no one could tell, so she simply came to find Nangong Yue.
The two talked about Huang Ruhong from "The Legend of Gu Liang", and then talked about "The Analects of Analects" written by him himself. When they learned that this "Annotations to the Analects" was one of Nangong Yue's father's collections, Xiao Fei's eyes widened. It suddenly lit up, looking at her expectantly.
At this time, Xiao Fei didn't have the rigid posture in the past, but was as simple as a little rabbit.
Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, and when she was about to speak, she got a report from Que'er.
Hearing that Princess Qi sent someone over, Nangong Yue couldn't help but think of Jiang Yixi, but then she thought that if something happened to Jiang Yixi, Princess Qi should go to the Duke's Mansion instead of her.
Sure enough, Que'er continued: "The nanny Guan said it was related to Miss Fang Biao..."
Of course, the only Fang Biao girl involved with Qi Wangfu is Xiao Fang's niece, Fang Ziteng.
Nangong Yue took a look at Xiao Fei and said, "Big sister, sit down first, I'll come back as soon as I go."
Xiao Fei still wanted to find a chance to borrow "The Analects of Confucius", so she had to follow her anyway, so she hurriedly got up and said, "Sister-in-law, let me go with you."
The expression on her face revealed all her thoughts without a doubt, Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, but she didn't show anything on her face, she nodded: "Then eldest sister will go with me."
The two of them went to the side hall next to the Martial Shoutout Hall together, and saw that Nunnery Guan was wearing a lake-colored silk gown, and was sitting on a pear-blossom armchair.
Seeing Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei coming in, she stood up slowly, bowed her knees to Nangong Yue, and said, "I've seen Shi Zifei."
Nangong Yue sat on the main seat, raised her hand, and said flatly: "Excuse me." Xiao Fei stood beside her.
Seeing that Nan Gongyue didn't ask her why she came, Guan Yumo could only take the initiative to say: "Concubine Shizi, this servant is serving the concubine's order today to invite Concubine Shizi to come to the house... This matter is related to Miss Fang Biao of your mansion. Please let the concubine and servants go."
Before Nangong Yue could speak, Xiao Fei had already said, "Sister-in-law, you can't go!"
Hearing her address Nangong Yue like that, Guan Nanny guessed that she should be the eldest girl of the Zhennan Palace who just arrived in the capital... that is, Fang Ziteng's direct cousin.
Xiao Fei continued: "Sister-in-law, Cousin Teng is now the second concubine of Prince Qi's residence, but a concubine, what capacity should we go to Prince Qi's residence?" Xiao Fei did not hide the disgust in her expression.
According to the rules, the relatives of this concubine's room are not serious relatives. If Nangong Yue goes to Qi Palace today as a relative of Fang Ziteng's natal family, then first of all, she cannot go through the main entrance of Qi Palace. You can avoid seeing Nangong Yue.
Why is Sister Guan not aware of this reason, so her attitude seems to be respectful, but there is a hint of arrogance that is not obvious.
It's just that she originally wanted to say that Fang Ziteng is also the niece of Princess Xiaofang of Zhennan, and now there is only Nangong Yue, the eldest concubine of Zhennan Prince, in the capital. Wouldn't that be a reputation for disregarding the affection of relatives? In the future, he will inevitably be reprimanded by his mother-in-law, Princess Zhennan.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin ran away from Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei is Xiao Fang's direct daughter. If she says she won't go to the Qi Palace, even Xiao Fang will not be able to blame Nangong Yue.
Nursing Guan thought for a while, then restrained her anger and said respectfully: "Shizi Concubine, Miss Xiao, this matter is related to Fang Cifei's reputation and whether she will stay or not, please go with the slaves."
It is related to Fang Ziteng's reputation and whether to stay or not? Princess Qi wants to divorce Fang Ziteng? Nan Gongyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and now she was a little surprised. What exactly happened that made Princess Qi want to divorce Fang Ziteng
If Fang Ziteng was really divorced, it would be a bit out of order without her natal family present.
Because of Xiao Fang's family, even if he is Fang Ziteng's cousin and Xiao Fei is Fang Ziteng's cousin, he can be considered a close relative. Although it can be ignored on weekdays, if it really involves the matter of abandonment, according to the rules, I really need to show my face to represent the attitude of "my mother's family".
She pretended to ponder, and finally looked at Xiao Fei and said, "Eldest sister, what I am taking care of is true, let's go for a while."
Xiao Fei frowned, and Mama Guan's heart skipped a beat in fright. The next moment, she nodded slightly: "Yes, sister-in-law."
Nanny Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei went back to their houses and changed their clothes for going out, they set off for the Qi Palace in a Zhulun carriage.
After getting off the car at the second gate, I saw Jiang Yixi waiting there, and Sister Guan saluted Jiang Yixi hastily.
Jiang Yixi looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, seeing that the back of Nanny Guan burst into cold sweat, and quickly made up for the courtesy.
"Lead the way."
Jiang Yixi made a sound, and Nanny Guan hurriedly wiped the sweat from her forehead, and led the way ahead, and they walked towards Princess Qi's yard.
This was the first time Nangong Yue saw Jiang Yixi after her marriage. Seeing her radiant face and affectionate eyes, she knew that her married life should be like a fish in water.
While walking, Jiang Yixi said to Nangong Yue: "Sister Yue, I heard that the imperial doctor went to Concubine Fang's place last night and said it was a slippery pulse... Concubine Fang's place was really lively last night." Jiang Yixi When the word "lively" was mentioned, he winked at Nangong Yue suggestively.
Huamai is Ximai, that is to say, Fang Ziteng is pregnant... Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. If only Fang Ziteng was pregnant, then there is no need for Princess Qi to invite herself to the house. With the remarks of "Qing Yu", Nangong Yue couldn't help but have a guess: did Fang Ziteng really do something she shouldn't have done, or was Princess Qi too impatient
While thinking about it, Princess Qi's yard arrived, but just before she reached the entrance of the main hall, a servant girl came out to stop Jiang Yixi, and bowed her knees: "Young Mistress, Princess, please go back to the house."
Jiang Yixi glanced at Nangong Yue, and Nangong Yue nodded, signaling her to go.
Jiang Yixi left, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei entered the main hall together, only to see Princess Qi sitting proudly on the main seat, while Fang Ziteng knelt on the cold ground with disheveled hair and a little bit of embarrassment. Xiao Fei was overjoyed.
"Cousin Fei!" Fang Ziteng blurted out in surprise, trying to stand up, but was rudely pressed by the woman beside her.
Xiao Fei looked at Fang Ziteng with distaste, and really couldn't understand: Fang Ziteng was uncle's daughter-in-law after all, so why would she willingly degenerate and become a concubine? Since ancient times, there has been an old saying in the folks: It is better to be a poor man's wife than to be a concubine. For the rich concubine.
But this cousin of hers... hey, there is a saying: different ways do not conspire with each other!
Xiao Fei said lightly: "Concubine Fang Ci, please be careful, I am here today as the eldest girl of the Zhennan Palace." The implication is that I am not here as your cousin Fang Cifei.
Fang Ziteng's face turned slightly pale, but she was not ignorant of Xiao Fei's temperament. Xiao Fei accepted death, but fortunately, she had a straight temper, at least she couldn't do things like adding insult to injury or colluding with others. The person I can rely on today is Xiao Fei...
Fang Ziteng gritted her teeth and endured it: "Miss Xiao is right."
After Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei met with Princess Qi respectively, Princess Qi politely let them sit down, and then sighed: "Concubine Xiao, Miss Xiao, it is really a pleasure for me to invite the two of you here today. I have to invite the two of you to be witnesses. Last night, Concubine Fang Ci was unwell, so I decided to invite the imperial physician to find out that Concubine Fang Ci was pregnant. I said that when Concubine Fang Ci gave birth to a child and a half daughter, she would be carried to be a side concubine. This concubine wrote the note overnight, and planned to send it to the palace early in the morning to be sealed by the empress for Concubine Fang..." Said, Qi The concubine sighed deeply, "Who knew that in the middle of the night, a maid named Lu Yi in Concubine Fang's yard came to find Concubine Fang quietly, saying that she couldn't stand the condemnation of her conscience and wanted to report Concubine Fang for having an affair with someone …”
Lu Yi lowered her eyes and said nothing, her body shrinking slightly.
"Nonsense! It's clear that you are framing me!" Fang Ziteng said angrily.
Concubine Qi gave Fang Ziteng a faint look, "Concubine Shi Zi, so this princess also thinks that Lu Yi has wronged Concubine Fang Ci, but thinking about what Concubine Fang Ci did before she entered my Qi Palace, I really have to It makes people think about it." Fang Ziteng was given to King Qi by the Queen because of his "personal relationship" with King Qi. No matter what the inside story was at the beginning, Wisteria's reputation on the bright side is indeed flawed.
This is thanks to Nangong Yue... The corner of Princess Qi's mouth curled into a sarcastic smile, and she continued: "The blood of this palace cannot be tarnished, so I ordered a search of Concubine Fang Ci's house. evidence." She gave a maid beside her a wink, and that maid immediately took out a paper fan and presented it respectfully with her hands in her hands.
Baihui took the fan, opened it, and presented it to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue glanced casually, and saw a poem written on the paper fan flying like a dragon and a phoenix: "Slender clouds make tricks, flying stars spread hatred, silver and men are far and dark. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will surpass the countless in the world. Tenderness is like water, good times are like a dream, and I endure the magpie bridge to return. If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening."
Looking at the strong and powerful handwriting, nine out of ten are from the hand of a man.
After Nangong Yue finished reading, she didn't hand over the paper fan to Xiao Fei.
After all, Xiao Fei is a girl who has not left the court, so it is inconvenient to get involved in this matter. Nangong Yue was about to ask Xiao Fei to avoid her, when Fang Ziteng said hurriedly: "Miss Xiao, you have to make decisions for me. This is clear It's just that Princess Qi couldn't bear to see that I was pregnant, so she deliberately bought Lu Yi and secretly put this fan in my yard... "
Nangong Yue interrupted her and said to Xiao Fei: "Big sister, you go out first."
Xiao Fei thought for a while and said seriously: "Sister-in-law, I want to keep it."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, and no longer objected, but said: "Princess, dare to ask Concubine Fang Ci how to have an affair with someone in the inner courtyard of the palace. Could it be the door of the palace..."
"My Prince Qi's Mansion is naturally very strict." Princess Qi interrupted Nangong Yue displeasedly, "It's just that Concubine Fang Ci has to go to Yaowang Temple to worship Buddha on the 15th of every month... every time I go out, it takes three hours. Now Think about it, how could it take three hours to pray to Buddha!"
A strange look flashed in Fang Ziteng's eyes, but she immediately returned to normal, but Nangong Yue saw this in her eyes, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart: Could it be that Fang Ziteng really...
Nangong Yue pondered for a moment and said: "Princess, this matter is related to the blood of Prince Qi's mansion, and King Qi should be invited to come over and make the decision."
Fang Ziteng glanced at Nangong Yue in astonishment, gritted her teeth, straightened her back, raised her head and said, "I want to see the prince! The prince will definitely make decisions for me!"
Concubine Qi was silent for a moment, and looked at Fang Ziteng with a half-smile: "Why should I invite the prince? Isn't the red cherry next to Concubine Fang already gone out?"
Fang Ziteng's pupils shrank suddenly, unable to hide her shock, it turned out that Princess Qi knew that she asked Hong Ying to go out to rescue the soldiers...
Princess Qi smiled confidently: "Just count the time, the prince will be here soon."
Concubine Qi knows Qi Wang best, but Qi Wang can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. Unless Fang Ziteng has clear evidence to prove her innocence in today's incident, the child in her womb will definitely not be able to keep... As for From now on, Fang Ziteng may have to guard the empty boudoir alone.
Princess Qi smiled darkly in her heart. Fang Wisteria was given by the queen, and if you want to send this Buddha out, you will only lose the face of Prince Qi's mansion. Today, Nangong Yue is here to testify. In the future, even Princess Zhennan will have nothing to say.
Today's game, I will win!
Princess Qi took a sip of hot tea calmly.
After a while, a servant girl hurriedly came to report: "Princess, the prince is here!"
As soon as King Qi entered the room, he stared at Princess Qi angrily, with bulging veins on his forehead. If Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were not present, he would have already cursed at Princess Qi. He knew before that Princess Qi was narrow-minded, so that this huge palace didn't even have a concubine or a concubine except for the eldest son. Finally, Fang Ziteng got it, and he can be regarded as an old man, but Princess Qi started to toss about again!
"Princess, what's going on?" King Qi said holding back his anger, "It's just the housework of the palace, why bother Zhennan Wang Shizifei!" His tone obviously wanted to cover up this in advance.
Concubine Qi was so angry that her breath stuck in her chest, but she could only speak in a righteous tone: "My lord, this concubine is also for the blood of the palace's heirs. Concubine Fang is the cousin of the Zhennan Palace, and now she has such a Naturally, the two sides should speak clearly about the scandal, so as not to cause any rift between the two families in the future."
Concubine Qi pointed to Lu Yi, and said with a proud face: "My lord, Lu Yi is Fang Fangfei's dowry maid, and it is a witness; that paper fan is physical evidence; When offering incense in the temple, he behaved suspiciously. According to the master in the temple, half of the time he was invisible. The prince can send someone to investigate this matter. No matter how capable the concubine is, she will not be able to bribe the eminent monk of the Yaowang Temple Bar?"
Concubine Qi's words were so convincing that even the king of Qi was moved, not to mention anything else, there must be traces to follow whether Fang Ziteng went to the Temple of the King of Medicine or not. Could it be...
King Qi half-closed his eyes, his eyes were darkened, and he looked towards Fang Wisteria with his brows tightly furrowed.
Fang Ziteng's heart sank suddenly. Based on her understanding of King Qi, King Qi must have become suspicious. She couldn't help but glanced outside the house, and then looked away in disappointment.
Princess Qi is in the middle of the game, but Nangong Yue is a bystander at the moment. Ever since King Qi appeared but Hongying was not following behind her, Nangong Yue already felt that there must be something wrong. If Hongying came out of the palace not to find King Qi, then who was she looking for
What did Fang Ziteng look forward to just now
Nangong Yue was thoughtful, if Fang Ziteng really had an affair with someone, who would it be
Given Fang Ziteng's background, it must not be an ordinary man who can impress her, and there are very few who have the opportunity to get close to her...
She narrowed her eyes slightly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help thinking of one thing: when she was in the Hunting Palace the year before last, Xiao Yi had inquired that Prince Qi's son wanted to use the love potion to cheat on Wisteria, and was finally driven back to the capital by the emperor in a fit of anger; Also last year, a fugitive slave from Prince Qi's Mansion fled to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, saying that she accidentally saw Prince Qi's son and one of King Qi's concubines having trouble...
Could it be that…
Nangong Yue's eyes flickered for a moment, seeing Fang Ziteng's attitude, this matter is likely to happen...
It's really annoying that Princess Qi is always so noisy, maybe I can use this to add fuel to the flames a little bit, and let King Qi know how messy his inner house is!
Nangong Yue stood up slowly, and blessed King Qi and Princess Qi: "My lord is right, these matters are family affairs of Prince Qi's mansion, and it is inconvenient for me to get involved." She looked at Xiao Fei as she spoke. , "Big sister, let's go back..."
Xiao Fei had already stood up with Nangong Yue and nodded.
Fang Ziteng's pretty face turned pale immediately, and she blurted out reflexively: "No! You can't leave!" If Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei left, then he really had nothing to rely on. Later, Princess Qi poured down a bowl of soup and medicine, and the child Not to mention that she couldn't keep it, if the dose of the drug was "accidentally" increased, then it's hard to say whether her own life can be kept alive!
Why hasn't he come yet
Red Sakura has been gone for more than an hour!
Fang Ziteng bit her lower lip, could it be that he didn't intend to...
Nangong Yue looked at Fang Ziteng indifferently, and said, "I don't know what else is going on with Concubine Fang Ci?"
"I... I..." Fang Ziteng was speechless, with a glimmer of hope in her heart, she couldn't help but glanced outside the house again, but it was still empty.
"Concubine Fang Ci, you have figured it out." Nangong Yue said with a smile that was not a smile, "If you are charged with this crime today, you will have no chance of turning over... Who do you want to save you?... Said In the end, you are the only one who can save you." She said meaningfully, "No matter what the facts are, you should tell the truth."
These words, in the ears of King Qi and Princess Qi, seemed to be that Nangong Yue didn't want to cause trouble and asked Fang Ziteng to confess quickly, but to Fang Ziteng's ears, it had a different meaning.
Fang Ziteng looked outside the house. She waited for so long, but that person still didn't show up.
All those affectionate feelings in the past were all fake, now that something happened, I want her to bear it alone, it's a good idea!
Can't wait any longer!
It's better to die than to live... Yes, the only one who can save her now is herself!
She still has a way out, the only way out...
Fang Ziteng took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, and he said cruelly: "My lord, I have something to say, and I also ask my lord to send away all the idlers."
Princess Qi glanced at Fang Ziteng with disdain, "My lord, there is no need. Everyone here can be trusted."
King Qi glanced at Princess Qi irritably, only to feel that this princess was becoming less and less able to wink.
"Everyone stand down."
With King Qi's words, there were only five people left in the main hall, and Nanny Guan was guarding outside the main hall.
"Concubine Fang Ci, do you have anything to say now?" Concubine Qi showed contempt in her eyes, as if she was looking down at a puddle of mud.
It was this look that became the last straw that crushed Fang Wisteria.
What right does Princess Qi have to look down on her!
A cluster of flames ignited in Fang Ziteng's eyes, since they are going to hell, let's go to hell together!
Fang Ziteng smiled coldly, stood up from the ground, looked at Princess Qi and said: "Princess, you guessed right, I am indeed having an affair with someone..."
Princess Qi couldn't believe her ears. Others didn't know, but she knew it most clearly. Could it be that she really had no intention of doing it
However, King Qi was so angry that his face turned blue and white, and it felt really...
Fang Ziteng looked at Princess Qi with almost sympathetic eyes, and continued calmly: "But Princess, my adulterer is not someone else, but he has something to do with you!"
"How can..." Princess Qi retorted intuitively, but soon thought of something, her face turned pale, and she was dripping with sweat instantly.
impossible!
how can that be possible
Although Fang Ziteng didn't mention the name of the adulterer, everyone present understood it, and King Qi blurted out angrily: "That traitor..."
He suddenly remembered that Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were still there, and suddenly fell silent.
Sure enough!
Nangong Yue watched coldly from the sidelines. Obviously, at first Princess Qi was afraid that Fang Ziteng's mother would promote her as a side concubine, and she was even more afraid that Qi Wang would get a son when she was old, and that she would be partial to the youngest son and harm the interests of the son, so she deliberately set up a situation to frame Fang Ziteng, but who Zhifang Ziteng really has an innocence with someone, but this person is still the son of Prince Qi! It's really ironic.
Nangong Yue looked at Fang Ziteng, although she was the one who helped to expose this matter, but at this moment, she just felt sick!
Princess Qi was completely dumbfounded, she just stood there blankly...
