When Yuwen Fengning received the news sent by Concubine Xue, his first reaction was to be furious.
He thought Yun Muzhou had escaped.
He immediately said to Xiao Xiangzi: "Go and ask someone to bring Yunyue Yao in. Tell her that I want to see her."
When Yun Yueyao heard that the emperor wanted to see her, she immediately showed a victor's smile. Very good! The purpose of notifying the fifth prince's mansion was to use their help to inform the palace about Yun Muzhou's departure from the city.
Li. She didn't expect that Concubine Xue's execution was so strong, and it was so fast that she was a little surprised.
She took Qiulan into the palace with her.
She was taken into the imperial study room to see Yuwen Fengning.
As for Qiulan, she was left outside.
"Public girl Yunyue Yao, I'm going to kowtow to the emperor." She knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in a polite manner.
"Yun Yueyao, let me ask you, Yun Muzhou left the city?"
"Yes, I heard that I went to the Yun Family Medicine Mountain."
"Before she left, did she say how many days she would be home?"
"She didn't say anything. When she left, the women didn't know about it. The women only heard about it from the servants in the house later." Yun Yueyao looked sincere.
"Then do you know why she rushed to Yaoshan in a hurry? This season is not a New Year's Day, nor is it a day for sacrifice."
Yun Yueyao had no intention of telling anyone about the threat to Yun Muzhou, so she just shook her head, expressing that she was unclear.
Yuwen Fengning looked at her and asked, "Yun Muzhou is your eldest sister. Do you know if she has any secrets that she is hiding from everyone?"
Yun Yueyao searched her entire brain before saying with a wry smile: "Eldest sister has never been kind to me. Even if there is a secret, it must be behind my back."
Yuwen Fengning had known for a long time that the Yun sisters were at odds with each other, so he immediately said: "Please help me keep an eye on Yun Muzhou. No matter what happens, if you find anything unusual, come to the palace to find me immediately. I'll wait until you finish this matter."
, I will make you a county lord."
Yunyueyao was stunned.
ecstasy.
County Lord!
That was something she never dared to dream about before. If she really became the county head, she would be superior to others in the future.
She immediately beamed with joy: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will serve you well."
"Okay, you go down!"
When Yun Yueyao took Qiulan out of the palace, Xiao Xiangzi came in from outside. He said to Yuwen Fengning: "Your Majesty, I just asked the girl named Qiulan. She said that the reason why Yun Muzhou went to Yaoshan in a hurry was because
It's because a few days ago, she received a letter saying that someone threatened her and said they would set fire to the medicine mountain."
Yuwen Fengning was startled, and then suddenly realized.
"Okay, I understand."
Little Xiangzi was confused, so he walked to the side and stood there, waiting for the emperor to call him at any time.
Not long after, I heard the voice of the tenth princess coming from outside the imperial study room.
"Brother Feng Ning, are you there?"
"Let the princess come in, and you go outside and guard." Yuwen Fengning ordered Xiao Xiangzi. After Xiao Xiangzi went out, he invited the tenth princess in.
As soon as the tenth princess saw him, her eyes turned red with grievance.
"Brother Feng Ning, I want to move back to the palace."
"Nonsense! You have already married into Prince Han's Mansion, there is no reason to come back and live there." Yuwen Fengning scolded him dissatisfied.
The tenth princess's eyes were red and she almost shed tears. She trotted up to him and threw herself into his arms: "Brother Feng Ning, you know, Zheng'er only has you in her heart, and Zheng'er doesn't want to marry Fei Xuan."
Yuwen Fengning pinched her chin and asked her to look up.
"Tell me, where did you go during those days when you were missing?"
The tenth princess waved her away, tears falling down her cheeks: "Where can I go? I was seriously injured and have been recuperating at someone else's house. If you don't believe me, just take a look!"
She pulled open her coat and inner coat, revealing the bandaged wound underneath.
Heartbroken.
"Brother Feng Ning, are you suspecting that Zheng'er is unfaithful to you? That night, Zheng'er took Chaoyan away and indeed sent her to the Qinglou. But before Zheng'er could leave there, she was assassinated.
Then Zheng'er fell into a coma, and when I woke up again, it was already a few days later. Do you know how much pain my body felt when I woke up? But no matter how painful it was, I wanted to come back to see you, because I was afraid that you would be worried.
"
She cried and cried, talking at the same time.
"You asked me to marry you in such a hurry. Did I say anything? For the sake of your great cause, Zheng'er is really willing to give up his life. Do you know what kind of life I lived when I married into Prince Han's palace? Fei Xuan is not here
At home, the emperor's uncle ignored me. As for the servants, they didn't even look at me seriously. Brother Feng Ning, who do you think I suffered all this for? Now that you still doubt me, you might as well
Just let me die."
The tenth princess threw herself into his arms. Perhaps she was too strong and touched the injured area, which made her gasp in pain.
Yuwen Fengning immediately announced that the imperial doctor had come in. After the imperial doctor looked at it, he also said that the princess was injured and must take a good rest. Yuwen Fengning sighed and held her on his lap.
"Zheng'er, brother Feng Ning will tell you a secret..."
"What secret?"
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" Just as the two of them were looking at each other affectionately, the Queen Mother Nan Lingxue arrived.
The tenth princess hurriedly got down from the emperor's arms, straightened her clothes, and stood in front of the imperial cabinet. As soon as the queen mother came in, she immediately glanced at her with dissatisfaction.
"Zheng'er, the Ai family didn't care what happened between you and the emperor in the past. But you are no longer allowed to enter and leave the palace at will. Don't forget your identity. You are now Fei Xuan's young princess."
Yuwen Kengzheng stepped forward sadly and saluted: "Aunt, how could you say that to Zheng'er? What did Zheng'er do wrong?"
The queen's face sank.
I regret even more because I really shouldn't have adopted this child for my sister. Fortunately, this child was adopted. If it were really my sister's biological child, she would have been shameless and would have been killed.
She gritted her teeth and looked at the tenth princess with disappointment.
"My aunt has really spoiled you. The relationship between you and the emperor has already spread throughout the harem! Do you still think that everyone is blind?"
After hearing her words, Yuwen Fengning's reaction was even greater than that of the tenth princess.
He stood up with excitement on his face: "Mother, what did you say?"
Nan Lingxue said: "Last time, she stayed in your palace, and everyone in the harem knew it. It was a man in black who appeared in time to stop this matter from continuing. Your Majesty, as the king of a country, you must
You must lead by example.”
The tenth princess's face turned pale.
She felt like a mountain was collapsing, and she couldn't breathe. The appearance she had worked so hard to maintain for so many years had been exposed long ago? Everyone had seen her disdainful true face?
She angrily shouted at the Queen Mother: "Aunt, you are lying to Zheng'er. This is impossible!"
The Queen Mother slapped her in the face, and she was furious: "Would the Ai family joke with you about something like this? The Ai family will tell you today that without the Ai family's oral instructions in the future, you are not allowed to enter the palace to have a private meeting with the emperor!"
"Mother! Zheng'er is not my biological sister. At this time, do you still want to hide it?"
