"The reason for doing this is naturally for your good reputation. The emperor's intention is to let Mr. He's family speak out in person. Moreover, Mr. He's family has been ridiculous since he was a child, and he is also very romantic. Although he has not yet married a wife at home, his concubines are
There are already eight people. Therefore, the emperor is very sure that you will not fall in love with such a person. Regardless of whether the He family's young master is telling the truth or not, the matter must be solved satisfactorily by excluding you. And the palace maid,
I have found her family. I believe she will tell the truth." Feng Mingye said slowly.
"Then can you take me to the Tianlao to have a look?" Murong Xi looked at Feng Mingye slyly.
Feng Mingye saw Murong Xi's persistence, nodded, and agreed to Murong Xi's request.
Because after Murong Xi returned to Ningxi Palace, the emperor asked Feng Mingye to follow him to the imperial study. After the two discussed it, the emperor handed over the matter to Feng Mingye.
On the second day, Feng Mingye asked Ye Feng to take Murong Xi to the prison. Of course, Murong Xi was dressed as a guard.
In fact, the young master of the He family was really wronged. It was the noble concubine of Emperor Yuan who sent someone to contact the young master of the He family and told him that the princess had actually fallen in love with him at first sight since she saw her at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. This time, the gift of hairpins made him must come.
He came to participate, and then someone sent him a note and asked him to wait in the side hall. As a result, things turned out like this. The reason why he chose this person was because he was romantic and ridiculous. After hearing about the princess's heart,
With him, he will definitely be fooled.
After the Minister of Rites heard about this, he looked like he hated iron. He wanted to go to the prison to ask for details, but the matter was handed over to His Highness Pluto. How could he dare to provoke Pluto, so he could only stay in the mansion with his wife
frowning.
Feng Mingye sat outside, looked at He Zhian sitting inside, and then sneered and asked: "He Zhian, please tell me what happened in detail. I want to see if you are really wronged."
He Zhian shuddered when she heard Feng Mingye's voice. Because the person in front of her was Pluto, she didn't dare to hide anything, so she told the whole story.
Feng Mingye rolled her eyes and asked: "He Zhian, you concluded that Her Royal Highness the Princess is interested in you based on a few words from the palace maid and a note? Are you a pig? Don't think about it. On the day of the palace banquet, you
Where are you sitting? How far is the princess from you? Can she see you?"
He Zhi'an was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, yes, his father was not the prime minister, nor the Duke of the country. The seats were only arranged in the middle, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day was not in the main hall, but in the garden.
No matter how bright the candlelight was, he couldn't see everyone clearly, and besides, he couldn't see the princess's face clearly, so how could the princess notice him?
"Have you figured it out?" Feng Mingye asked.
"That note?" He Zhian asked still without thinking.
"You can think about it, even if the princess really cares about you, why doesn't she use the most trusted maid next to her to pass the note to you, but let a maid she doesn't know pass the note to you? Couldn't she?
Are you afraid that the palace maid will convey the wrong news?" Feng Mingye said analytically.
"Is that a misunderstanding by the common people? But there is really something wrong with the incense in the side hall. Could it be that someone really deliberately plotted against me? And I misunderstood the princess?" He Zhian asked with his eyes widened.
Feng Mingye didn't bother to say anything more to him. This man was just a pig-headed person.
. He dropped a sentence and said: "Be smarter next time."
Feng Mingye took Murong Xi to another cell and met the palace maid.
Feng Mingye sat aside, and Murong Xi stood on one side of him. Then Feng Mingye didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, so he lazily asked: "What is going on? Tell me."
"Your Highness Pluto, spare your life. I know your mistake. I want to seduce Mr. He..." As soon as the palace maid started talking, she heard Feng Mingye couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, hehe, you thought you didn't say anything.
Will telling the truth save your family?"
The palace maid's eyes widened and her whole body trembled as she asked: "Your Highness Pluto, please bypass this slave's family, they don't know."
"Don't worry, I will not use your family to threaten you. I have already taken your family out, so no one can threaten you. If you tell the truth, I will consider sparing you.
If you want to save your life, you'd better tell the truth." Feng Mingye said lazily.
"The slave said everything. It was the Imperial Concubine of the Yuan Dynasty who ordered the slave to do this. She asked the slave to pass a note to Young Master He, saying that Her Highness the Princess fell in love with Young Master He. Then she deceived Young Master He to the day when the princess and her hairpin were married.
Then she was asked to wait in the side hall. In fact, there was something wrong with the incense in the side hall. The slave girl led the princess to the side hall in the name of Princess Yan. The purpose of the Yuanhuang Royal Concubine was to let the princess have sex with the son of the He family.
"The palace maid knelt down and told the truth.
In fact, Murong Xi had known for a long time that this was the result that the Imperial Concubine of the Yuan Dynasty wanted, but unfortunately, things went wrong.
Feng Mingye didn't speak. Murong Xi whispered in Feng Mingye's ear: "I don't want Yuanhuang's noble concubine to be punished like this yet. It would be too easy for her."
Feng Mingye nodded, and then said: "In a moment, I will take you to the imperial study room to tell the emperor the truth of the day. Just tell the emperor like this..." Feng Mingye gave instructions in a low voice.
"Ah? This slave really said that?" the palace maid looked at Pluto in disbelief and asked.
"Um."
After the interrogation, Feng Mingye asked Ye Feng to fly back to Ningxi Palace with Murong Xi.
Feng Mingye himself took the palace maid and He Zhi'an to the imperial study room to prepare a reply to the emperor. As soon as he arrived at the imperial study room, he found that the imperial concubine Yuan Huang was also in the imperial study room. Haha, he was probably afraid that the palace maid would tell him that she had exposed her mouth.
.
"Ye'er, what results did you find?" the emperor asked anxiously.
Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang was very anxious, but she didn't dare to ask a word.
Feng Mingye looked at Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang and said nothing.
When the emperor saw him, he said: "Xin'er, please go back to Xianfu Palace first. I will come to see you in a while." The emperor said unhurriedly.
Seeing that the emperor would not let her stay, Concubine Yuan Huang had no choice but to bow and leave the imperial study. Only she knew how uneasy her heart was now.
"What on earth is going on?" the emperor asked when he saw the noble concubine Yuan Huang left.
"Your Majesty, let these two people speak for themselves." After Feng Mingye said this, he had He Zhian and the maid brought in.
He Zhian repeated what he said to Feng Mingye in prison, and then knelt there waiting for His Majesty's condemnation.
But the palace maid said this: "I met Mr. He at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Mr. He rescued me at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day. I have never forgotten him. Before the princess was about to hold the hairpin ceremony, I came to see him.
I sent a message to Mr. Xu because I was afraid that he would look down on me, so I lied to him that the princess liked him, and told him that he must attend the ceremony on the day when the princess got her hairpin. After seeing him enter the palace yesterday, the slave wrote a note.
.The content inside is that Her Royal Highness the Princess has something to say to Young Master He, and hopes that Young Master He can wait in the side hall after the hairpin ceremony. In fact, what Young Master He is waiting for is not Her Royal Highness the Princess at all, but the slaves. But, Young Master He
He just didn’t know it. The slave added something to the incense in the main hall, and waited until the effect of the medicine took effect before pushing the door in. Mr. He was already in a daze at the time, and naturally people couldn’t tell who the slave was. The slave originally thought that in
After that, Mr. He will bring the slave back to the house. Unexpectedly, he will attract so many people, and he will also attract your majesty and the imperial concubine. So he is terrified and dare not tell the truth. Your Majesty, I know you are wrong. Please
Your Majesty, please spare my life." The palace maid cried and begged for mercy.
The emperor was very angry after hearing this, so he said: "Come here, take these two people down first, and kill them with a stick from the palace maid. He Zhian, the son of the Minister of Rites, will kill them with a stick for a hundred people, and then have them sent back to the palace."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare this slave." Four guards came in and took the maid and He Zhian away.
Feng Mingye raised her eyebrows and then said: "Your Majesty, I will leave first."
Before the emperor could speak, Feng Mingye had already walked out of the imperial study room.
Feng Mingye returned to the prison, found a death row prisoner to replace her, and asked Ye Li to escort her and her family out of the capital.
"Your Majesty, please forgive Xin'er for being guilty." The Emperor had just finished hearing the case and came to Xianfu Palace. However, he did not expect that Concubine Yuan Huang would kneel down after seeing him.
"What are you doing, Xin'er? What are you guilty of?" the emperor asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"I betrayed your majesty's trust. Your majesty left your harem to my concubine. I didn't expect that something like this would happen. Therefore, I am guilty." Concubine Yuanhuang's confession was extremely sincere. She had already been with the emperor.
When he punished the palace maid, he knew that the palace maid took the matter on him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor helped the imperial concubine Yuan Huang up, and then said: "Xin'er, this palace maid has evil intentions. You have done a good job. I will still leave the harem to you, and I trust you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I am my concubine..." Yuanhuang Noble Concubine said with tears in her eyes.
"I know it's not your fault, why do you have to do this?" the emperor comforted.
"Your Majesty, I know this. I will definitely put an end to the rumors and give Xi'er a clean slate." Concubine Yuan Huang said seriously.
"Xi'er has been wronged. Please comfort her later. I will go back to Yangxin Palace first." After the emperor finished speaking slowly, he left Xianfu Palace.
After the emperor left Xianfu Palace, a cold smile appeared on his face, Yuan Xiner, do you think I don't know that you are behind this?
Ningxidian
"Miss, I just received the news that Pluto brought the palace maid to the imperial study room. The palace maid admitted that she used your name as a cover to seduce Mr. He. She has been ordered to be killed by the emperor, and Mr. He
Just give him a hundred punishments and then send him back to his house." Ru Shi said the matter simply.
"Hmph, this is clearly the nonsense that the Yuan Emperor's imperial concubine threatened the maid. Is the maid blind? She has fallen in love with Mr. He? If she had the guts, why didn't she seduce His Majesty?" Ruhua said angrily.
