"Get up." The empress dowager raised her hand and looked at the person before her. She said, "Gouyao, why have you come here?"
Feng Yu glanced at Zhou Chengdi timidly, then lowered his head and said, "Royal Grandmother, Tang Yao wants to see how the growth of those two stalks of Jianlan grew. I'm thinking that the weather is getting hot, so we should water them more."
"You sure are considerate. The flowers that were delivered last year during the Chinese New Year were still under your care. The longer they grow, the better it is. I can't leave you to spend so much time and effort to take care of them."
"Because this Jianlan is good to my grandmother's body, so I hope it will look better."
The empress dowager told Senior Servant Wen to bring the two stalks of Jianlan over, and Feng Wu Yao rose to leave to take care of Jianlan.
Zhou Chengdi sighed lightly. Looking at her, he felt a little unwilling, so he asked, "Have you eaten?"
When Feng Yu heard this, he slightly raised his head, as if enduring the pain in his eyes, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Imperial Father. I have eaten the soup of the bird's nest, so I ate a total of two bowls."
"Mm, not bad." Zhou Chengdi nodded.
"It's just that mufei likes it and eats better." Feng Ziyao said softly.
"Lian Zhaoyi's pregnancy seems to have caused extreme harm. Send two more imperial physicians to take the pulse." The empress dowager said from the side.
"Tang Yao'er thanks Imperial Grandmother on behalf of Imperial Consort." Feng Tang immediately knelt down in gratitude.
"Esteemed empress dowager, your majesty, the Eleventh Princess requests an audience." After a while, the eunuch came back to report.
The empress dowager frowned slightly. "Why did Eleven come as well?" Is it about the Queen? Let her in. "
The eleventh princess, Feng Lingyue, lowered her head and walked in from outside the palace. Her expression was somewhat restrained —
"Your mother greets you, royal grandmother, and father."
"Your mother's health is not good. Why didn't you stay by her side? Why did you come here?" Zhou Chengdi asked with a slightly cold tone, but the warmth in his eyes had disappeared.
Feng Zhenyao pretended to lower her head to water Jianlan, but her eyes were focused on Feng Lingyue. She knelt down on both knees, prostrating herself on the ground as she said: "Imperial Father, your son has come to beg for forgiveness."
"plead guilty?" Zhou Cheng Di looked up and frowned, then said unhappily, "What did you do this time? Your mother is so sick, are you still so worried? "
Feng Lingyue looked at Feng Ziyao again, took a deep breath and said, "Imperial Father, last time, the dried snow clams and dried shellfish in Thirteenth Sister's medicinal food …" Actually, the reason I let them in on purpose was to trigger her asthma. Thirteenth Sister didn't wrongly accuse me, but I did it. I joined up with Imperial Physician Liang and gave her quite a few benefits. "
"What did you say?" Zhou Chengdi was startled. He immediately looked over and asked with a stern voice.
On the other side, Feng Ziyao, who had been watering with her head lowered, suddenly raised her head, and the pot in her hands fell to the ground with a "pa da" sound. She looked at Feng Lingyue in disbelief, and tears welled up in her eyes as she mumbled, "You, what did you say, Sister Eleven? It's really you? "
As if she had made up her mind, Feng Lingyue continued, "I told Imperial Physician Liang to use that kind of method to give me the dried snow toad and dried shellfish in Thirteenth Sister's medicinal meal, and then took the opportunity to secretly place it in Thirteenth Sister's medicinal meal on the day of Kudu. General Xiao He was also deceived by me, so he went around to find evidence for me to prove my innocence."
"Why did you do that?" Zhou Chengdi asked in a tight voice, but his eyes were cold when he looked at her.
"Because I don't like royal father liking Thirteenth Sister so much. In order to leave a bad impression in royal father's heart, I wanted royal father to stop liking Thirteenth Sister so much and to like me a little more." Feng Lingyue's face was pale white, her eyes revealing her pain as she spoke with a trembling voice. The above and the above were the exact words of Feng Ziyao; she had asked Feng Lingyue to follow her words.
When the empress dowager heard this, a doubt arose in her heart. She looked at Feng Lingyue, then at Feng Ziyao, before asking:
Eleven, this matter has already been going on for quite some time, and has almost been forgotten by others. Your royal father has already punished Imperial Physician Liang, and he also returned your innocence.
"..." Thirteen's sister treated me very well. These days my mufei was sick and I couldn't take care of myself, so she often snuck in to help out at Changchun Palace, finding me an imperial physician and even giving me some silver. My heart is suffering everyday, and I really cannot bear to continue lying to royal father. I also cannot bear to see Thirteenth Sister carrying the guilt of not knowing the truth, so I had to repay Thirteenth Sister for being fair, so I painfully decided to tell royal father the truth and have him not misunderstand Thirteenth Sister. She, she is an innocent victim. " As Feng Lingyue spoke these words, the fist in her sleeve couldn't help but tremble.
Imperial Physician Liang had already been beheaded, and now that everything was dead, there was no way to prove it. And after so long, her royal father wouldn't do any more detailed investigations just for Feng Lingyue, only then would he be able to reestablish her most beautiful image in his heart.
Sure enough, Zhou Cheng Di looked at Feng Ziyao, and Feng Ziyao trembled. Then, she quickly walked over, knelt on the ground, and dropped her sparkling tears, saying, "Royal father, son, son, and son don't know anything. I don't know what happened, but what is elder sister Eleven saying? royal father … "
"Thirteenth Sister, I've let you down. Not only did I harm you, I've also caused others to misunderstand you." Feng Lingyue turned to look at Feng Yunyao and said.
"Son of Xiao He! That day in the great hall, you were so aggressive towards me, just to protect such an unfilial daughter of yours who harbors evil intentions! " Zhou Cheng Emperor slammed his palm on the seat and said angrily.
As Feng Lingyue heard this, she hurriedly said, "Imperial Father, this has nothing to do with Xiao He. It was him, he was fooled by me." She absolutely must not implicate Xiao He.
"Humph!" Zhou Chengdi snorted, his expression cold as he looked at Feng Lingyue.
In this room, Feng Yunyao suddenly stood up and walked in front of Feng Lingyue. Raising her hand, she slapped her face and said, "Sister Eleven, I was waiting for you wholeheartedly, but you actually treated me like this. What did I do wrong? Is there something wrong with my body? Are you really not afraid that I'll die?"
Five red finger marks appeared on Feng Lingyue's face. She slowly raised her head, her eyes staring quietly at Feng Yunyao's teary face, her eyes cold without any ripples.
Her eyes were like a pure pearl, devoid of any impurities, silently exuding a hidden power, she just stared at Feng Tang Yao without saying a word.
Feng Tang Yao's heart trembled, but a trace of unease flashed past her eyes. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said, "Imperial Father, since Sister Eleven can tell you the truth, it means that she is not too bad, and the Heavenly Treasure Great General does not know the truth, so he will act as a safeguard. Imperial Father, as long as you return my innocence, please do not pursue the rest of the matter, okay?"
Zhou Cheng Emperor stood up, walked up to Feng Yu Yao, took her hand, and said painfully, "Zheng Yao`er, it has been hard on you these days. Zhou Cheng Emperor stood up, walked up to Feng Yao, took her hand, and said painfully," Zheng Yao`er, it has been hard on you these past few days.
"…" A trace of coldness flashed through Feng Lingyue's heart as she replied, "Yes, royal father. This son will obey."
"Go down and take your punishment for kneeling. Let the senior servant of the Elegance Palace watch. Not even an hour can be used for eight hours." Zhou Chengdi's gaze was emotionless as he looked at Feng Lingyue.
Feng Lingyue felt sad, but also relieved. She finally understood why ever since she was young, her royal father's treatment of her was far inferior to Feng Ziyao's.
Because, their blood ties had unknowingly widened the distance between her and her royal father.
She slowly stood up and walked outside — —
