The empress turned around, wanting to say something to the emperor, but the emperor was holding a letter in his hand. When his gaze fell upon the personal seal, his face changed and the hand holding the letter trembled.
”Your Majesty …” The empress's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous feeling rose from her back.
”Pah!” The emperor slammed the letter and the wooden box to the ground. He glared at the empress and said, ”I really didn't think that you would scheme and murder Consort Liang and Yun Zheng for that unfilial son of Feng Ming's!”
”Your … Your Majesty, what are you talking about …” ”Chenqie, chenqie doesn't understand.” The empress was baffled. What was going on? Didn't the emperor also conclude a moment ago that there was a relationship between Feng Yunzheng and Liang Lishu? Why, why did his attitude change all of a sudden?
Feng Qianyue and Xiao Zhenhai, who had been watching from the sidelines and thought that victory was within their grasp, were instantly stunned.
What was going on? What's wrong with the Emperor?
”Your majesty, your majesty has made it clear that someone informed chenqie of Yun Zheng's situation in Southern City. When chenqie saw that this Liang Lishu was truly pitiful and that she had ruined the imperial family's prestige, chenqie decided to handle it at her discretion, your majesty …” The empress dropped to her knees.
”Mother, your son's private letter has been changed since he came back from Southern City. The words on the new private letter were personally written by Imperial Father for the artisans to carve, and it is to reward your son for completing the Southern City's mission ahead of time. At that time, royal father said that 'Zheng''s mountain was too small, so if you wanted to change it to be larger, then he personally changed it to 'Zheng' for your son. ” Feng Yunzheng took out his new private badge from his bag at his waist and stamped it on one of the letters — —
Comparing it, the two words ”Zheng” were different.
Because the difference wasn't too obvious, Zhou Chengdi didn't pay much attention to it in the beginning, but when Feng Yunzheng said this, he immediately saw through the problem of this private message.
”What …” The empress felt her legs go limp, her hands gripping the two private stamps tightly. Her eyes widened as she stared in disbelief.
How could this be … How could this be …
”That, that could be because you are afraid of the matter being exposed and used an old secret letter.” The Queen caught on to this last point.
”This son's old secret letter is with royal father. It should have already been destroyed for the sake of chaos.” Feng Yunzheng's lips revealed a slight smile as he spoke.
What? The empress looked at the emperor abruptly, and the emperor's face was extremely gloomy.
Feng Qianyue was shocked!
How could this be? Every one of his plans was almost perfect, so why did he keep planning them one after the other... He had failed.
With a plop, the empress kneeled on the ground once again and said, ”Your Majesty, chenqie, chenqie definitely doesn't have any intention of framing Consort Liang and Yun Zheng. Only when Liang Lishu and the letter are in chenqie's hands will chenqie …”
”Your majesty, regarding the matter of the Commander Liang's daughter, this subject has a matter she doesn't understand. I'd like to ask the empress to clarify my doubts.” At this time, Lian Ruyue stood up and said.
”Speak.” The emperor's voice was very cold.
”Yes.” Lian Ruyue turned around and bowed to the empress. ”Esteemed Empress, the southern city is a long way from the capital, and you live deep in the palace. How did you find out that the daughter of Regional Commander Liang has gone insane? Could it be that you have been monitoring the Ninth Prince's every move? ” Heh, at this time, the empress was still holding on and not willing to reveal Feng Qianyue, either because she didn't want all of the people on the same boat to sink down and await Feng Qianyue's rescue in the future, or because she wanted to keep Feng Qianyue from fighting with Ninth Prince in the future, and she wasn't willing to take advantage of Ninth Prince.
However, how could she be like them!
As expected, when Feng Qian saw Lian Yue bring up the question in this regard, he was shocked in his heart. Was she trying to uproot the empress?! Once he was pulled out, he would definitely be found out!
