At this time, Fenghuang just drank the cup of tea in front of him, and looked at the expressions of the people around him with a posture of watching the excitement. The people around here looked like a mixed bag of people, including blue, green, and red. She gently covered the cup in her hand with her sleeve, and her eyes gradually became sharp.
"My lord, do you think this is a long-planned conspiracy?" Fenghuang calmly turned his body and whispered to the man beside him.
"That's for sure," Yang Tingjing seemed to have the same reaction as Fenghuang, with a calm expression on his face, "No one would believe that such a huge explosion was unintentional. We'll just watch. It's none of our business."
"Naturally." There was a thought-provoking smile on the corner of Fenghuang's mouth, and he seemed to understand something.
After about a moment, the imperial guards had already returned in large numbers. After rigorous training, this group of troops is still quite efficient.
"What's the result?" The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a livid face.
"Reporting to the emperor, after a careful search, we found a small amount of gunpowder buried under the bedroom of Concubine Li." The chief of the imperial guards said sternly, but he was somewhat afraid in his heart, after all, Concubine Li was the emperor's new favorite. If there are any unjust, false or wrongly decided cases, their suffering is indispensable.
"Bold, how can you slander me like this!" Concubine Li was so frightened that she hurriedly expressed her attitude, "Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for your concubines, Your Majesty." Concubine Li turned her eyes to the highest emperor, trying to hide The sinister look in his eyes pretended to be very frightened.
"Yo, who else could it be if she didn't do it?" Chen Guiren who was sitting at the bottom began to sneer, since Concubine Li had been trampled under her feet for a long time, naturally she had the mentality of resistance.
"Sister is right, but this concubine saw with her own eyes that Concubine Li was sneaking around the gate of her palace yesterday and didn't know what to do?" The newly promoted Yue Jieyu also sneered, pulling Concubine Li away Such a good opportunity to get off the horse must not be let go.
"Shut up! Since when did I become the subject of your discussions?" Concubine Li's fair cheeks turned red with anger.
"What did Concubine Li do outside the palace yesterday, can you tell my sister a little bit?" Yue Jieyu chased after her.
"I am looking for my personal maid. She went to cook meals for me but she has not returned." Concubine Li calmed down and said slowly.
"Yo, ma'am, your reasons are really sufficient." Chen Guiren added embellishments, just to make the emperor look at her more, but the emperor never looked at her.
"Your majesty, you have to trust your concubines." Concubine Li dragged her heavy clothes and ran towards the emperor with pear blossoms and rain, trying to make herself look pitiful. as the object of attack.
"Concubine Li, you really didn't do it?" The emperor looked at her red eyes from crying, feeling a little distressed.
"Your Majesty, you have to be vigilant, Your Majesty. If I did it, why would I bother to bury it in my own palace? Isn't this causing trouble for myself? Although my concubines are not as smart as my sisters, they must not be able to do such a thing." It's a stupid thing. It must be someone who wants to harm the concubine."
"Okay, dear concubine, get up. I believe in you, and I will definitely find out the real culprit." The emperor lifted Concubine Li who was kneeling on the ground, and hugged her considerately into his arms.
"There must be something hidden about this matter, I will find out and punish severely, so as to serve as a warning to others. It is best not to have any involvement with you who are present!" After the emperor finished speaking, he hugged Concubine Li who was unable to stand still He left, leaving everyone present.
This is also human nature, after all, Concubine Li is an extremely beautiful woman, with red lips and white teeth, charming and charming, and her smooth skin and hair like waterfalls are particularly lovable. Although the concubines were dissatisfied, they could only lament that they were not as good-looking and young as Concubine Li.
Fenghuang sat on the seat, thinking carefully about what the leader of the imperial guards said just now, was it under Concubine Li's bedroom? So what is the intention of this person? Fenghuang felt that this matter should not be that simple, it must be a long-planned conspiracy. And there must be someone who will become the target of this incident and suffer innocent victims.
The news from the North Li Pavilion was that there might be a large amount of gunpowder buried in the capital. If this is the case, why should it be buried in the bedroom of the harem concubine? Also specially selected for this noisy annual banquet
Fenghuang couldn't figure it out, but her intuition told her that this person was not simple. And there is no wind without waves, so there must be some action.
"Fenghuang, let's go." Just when Fenghuang was in a trance, Yang Tingjing's warm voice came to his ears. Fenghuang pulled back his thoughts and smiled at him. Yang Tingjing walked up to Fenghuang, wanting to help her up. After all, he knew that his concubine was an informal person and was most afraid of those rules and regulations. He knew that after this New Year's banquet, she must be very tired.
"My lord," Fenghuang suddenly turned to look at Yang Tingjing, "Do you think this matter really has nothing to do with Concubine Li?"
"This is not something that you and I can control. Don't worry, the mastermind behind the scenes will show up in a short time." Yang Tingjing looked very confident.
"So, let's go back to the mansion first." Yang Tingjing walked to the carriage, dismissed Yinhuan who was on standby, and lifted the curtain of the carriage for Fenghuang himself.
Fenghuang looked at him, smiled slightly, turned around and got into the carriage.
Tap, tap, tap..." Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, Qiyang Tingjing and Fenghuang slowly walked towards the mansion. The winter night was extremely cold, and the whole world froze, making it extremely silent. Yang Tingjing kept tight He held Fenghuang's hand, because he knew that when night fell in winter, Fenghuang's hands were really "ice muscles and jade bones", with cold fingers and slender knuckles. Undoubtedly, the dark night could not cover the whiteness of her skin, so that the prince could not take his eyes off these hands.
Feeling a little tired in the carriage, Fenghuang turned her head slightly, and gently lifted the curtain on the small window. She leaned to the side, wanting to get closer to the window, so that she could see the scenery outside and take a few breaths of fresh air. The moonlight is bleak, quietly blooming its own brilliance, and there are a few stars inlaid on the black sky. Although there are not many, they are extraordinarily dazzling in the dark, and the light emitted is not inferior to the faint color of the moon. As the night was dark and it was winter, there were not many people on the street, and the doors and windows of the shops were all closed. This was in stark contrast to the chaotic scene of the explosion in the palace just now. Only the watchman was patrolling over and over again. "The sky is dry, be careful of candles." His voice was particularly loud in the lonely atmosphere, adding a bit of lively color to the quiet air. Perhaps, only this quiet and lonely atmosphere is more suitable for him, Fenghuang thought silently in his heart.
