At this time, the emperor said again: "Your father, General Feng, is my right-hand man, but I haven't seen him for a while, I wonder if he is still in good health?"
Just as Fenghuang wanted to answer yes habitually, his heart skipped a beat, and he understood why the emperor called her here today, and the original purpose was here.
He wanted to know the whereabouts of Feng Renxian, and beat around the bush for a long time. This was what he really wanted to ask.
Fenghuang laughed and said, "Your majesty is always busy, probably forgot that my son's father has been sent by you to the frontier to work with the Fourth Prince to quell King Qi Nan's rebellion, so how is his health these days? I don’t know. But your majesty cares about him so much, and his father is blessed, so he will definitely appreciate the grace of heaven, take care of his body, and serve the peace of the world loyally.”
This passage of hers was impeccable. The emperor thought to himself, maybe she really didn't know what happened to Feng Renxian, so he had no choice but to give up, saying: "I think so too. Concubine Shu is alone in the bedroom now, and she misses you very much, so you go to accompany her." Just go with her."
Phoenix agreed and went. Concubine Shu's bedroom was a little far away from the imperial study, so the inner eunuch brought her a chariot to send her there. Fortunately, she was clever, and the emperor's hurdle was passed. However, Concubine Shu had to continue to deal with it. After all, she and Shupin are not familiar with each other, they are just two strangers, and it is really difficult to have an intimate conversation with her now.
Fenghuang curled her lips, Shupin was annoyed when she saw her, she was not in a better mood when she saw Shupin, Yang Tingjing's nominal mother and concubine, the eunuchs walked very fast, and they arrived at the door of Shupin's bedroom in a short while . The little maid greeted her and saluted, and she was going to inform Empress Shupin that Fenghuang was on the spur of the moment, since it was inevitable that she would have to play with Shupin, so she was less polite and went in by herself, maybe she could hear and see things that shouldn't be heard or seen.
Seeing this, the little maid thought that Concubine Shu was only talking to an old nanny inside, so she let Fenghuang in. It wasn't the first time for Fenghuang to come to know the way, and before she reached the back room, she heard a nanny's voice:
"Just now the Eighth Prince cried and complained that the Eighth Prince treated her badly. It seems that the Eighth Prince beat the Eighth Prince again yesterday."
"Hmph, she didn't choose it by herself. Originally, we found her to be Yang Tingjing's side concubine so that we could monitor her. Why did she lie with Feng'er for some reason? Who knows if she despises the side concubine?" I've taken a fancy to Feng'er's position as the concubine." Shubi said coldly, Fenghuang looked over, and behind the screen Shubi was doing a female role,
I just heard the nanny say: "The seventh prince seems to be more popular than the eighth prince. The emperor praised him several times in front of everyone for his prudence and sense of proportion. He also has a good reputation among the people in the capital. They all say that he is elegant and polite." .”
Concubine Shu just stared at the work in her hand, embroidering the mandarin duck stitch by stitch, without raising her head, she said: "Well, it's not because of the explosion and the collapse of the moat that he made a little effort, and now he is really in the limelight. He took all the benefits of the world."
But Shu Concubine said again: "Feng'er's temper is becoming more and more irritable now, and she can barely bear it in front of outsiders, but in front of Ben Gong and Wan Yi, she couldn't control her temper several times, she would fling her face and smash a vase at every turn. If one day, he loses his temper in front of the emperor, the glory of this life will be over, obviously Feng'er had a good temper before, it's really strange."
The mother said: "It is difficult for the Eighth Prince to change his temper, but if you get rid of some people who are obtrusive, the empress can still do it."
Fenghuang was startled again when he heard this, an eyesore to others? This nanny's scheming is not simple, but who is this obtrusive person in her mouth? Yang Tingjing
Sure enough, Concubine Shu put down the embroidery frame in her hand at this time, but opened a drawer on one side, took out a porcelain bottle, and handed it to the nanny: "The seventh prince's medicine is still a little less, you can give it to me next time." When you give him the medicine, remember to put a little more. Those incompetent people around him won’t be able to see it. It’s best if you can’t get sick so that I can rest in peace.”
Mammy agreed and hid the porcelain bottle in her sleeve.
Fenghuang's nails dug deeply into the palm of her hand, but she didn't feel any pain. Her heart seemed to be tightly held by someone, almost about to burst. She knew that the chronic poison on Yang Tingjing's body was related to Concubine Shu, but she never thought that Concubine Shu wanted him to die.
She also asked Yang Tingjing about related matters before, his expression was calm, and his tone was only understated, as if it had nothing to do with her. Thinking about it now, it wasn't calm, but the numbness after being hurt to death. A person like Concubine Shu would be Yang Tingjing's biological mother, but a woman with a soft mouth and a snake heart gave birth to a gentle and kind son, Fenghuang almost found it funny.
Concubine Shu said again: "I really don't know what kind of luck he has had. He has been ill so many times, and even though he was about to die several times, he came back to life. It took me so much effort. Tingjing, please! Big, really a worrying child." After speaking, a smile appeared on her beautiful face. The last sentence, Shu Concubine's tone is very gentle, if outsiders who don't know the truth listen to it, they may really think that she is a loving mother and Yang Tingjing is her favored child.
Fenghuang was furious. Although she had always known about Concubine Shu's attitude towards Yang Tingjing, and the medicine she gave Yang Tingjing was problematic, but when she really heard Concubine Shu say this, she still couldn't help being angry. Angry at having such a mother, isn't Yang Tingjing her own? Could it be that only Yang Tingfeng is her child
The world's people are so dangerous, Fenghuang no longer wants to see Concubine Shu, fearing that he will not be able to restrain the disgust from inside out and will have an attack on the spot, but quietly left her bedroom, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, Walked aimlessly outside.
It was almost noon, and the sun was shining hotly. Fenghuang didn't realize it, and she didn't know where she was going. All she thought about was Yang Tingjing. She never thought about the time when she didn't appear. In the story, how Yang Tingjing spends his life, his father is cold-hearted, his brothers are alienated, and his mother regards him as a thorn in the side.
But Shupin's calculations were too good, didn't she and Yang Tingfeng regard Yang Tingjing as a pawn, then she let them see how this pawn will turn around in the end, and who will have the last laugh in the end!
