C400 Interrogation of hui zhi (1/2)
Eunuch Feng Degui stood on the shore. Not long later, Jiang Keji arrived at the shore and said something to Feng Degui. He saw Feng Degui nod with a solemn expression, and then turn around and hurriedly walk in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
Xiao He turned around as well, quickly making his way to the Imperial Palace from another path. He saw that there were quite a few people kneeling inside, and almost all of their concubines were inside.
He found a place to kneel down and carefully observed the situation within the hall.
”Continue to enlarge the scope of the search!” Not long later, they heard an imposing order. It was the voice of the emperor.
Then, Eunuch Feng hurriedly ran out of the hall with his back arched, heading towards the lake.
After about half an hour, Feng Degui hurriedly ran into the hall from Bird Lake. As he ran, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The hearts of the people kneeling on both sides of the hall suddenly rose.
Xiao He's head spun rapidly as he analyzed whether the current form within the hall was beneficial or not to the Fourth Prince.
”Increase the scope of the search and continue the search!” Not long after Feng Degui entered, he heard the emperor's voice again. A short while later, he saw Feng Degui hurriedly run out, and once again grabbed everyone's heart and ran back to the lake.
The concubines in the harem all looked pale as they knelt down until they were on the verge of fainting.
”Plop!” With a loud crash, the oldest Feng Defei's vision turned black, and she fell to the ground.
”Empress!” The palace maids and mama behind her rushed over and helped her into the carriage before carrying her back to the Jing De Palace.
The rest of them were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe. They raised their hands to wipe the sweat off their forehead.
At the same time, the atmosphere within the hall had almost frozen over. Not only were the people outside the hall sweating, there were also Feng Qianyue, who did not know what was going on. Fine beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
The first time, after searching around the boat, he didn't find any daggers.
Second time, expand the scope of the search, or beauty found the dagger;
This was already the third time he had searched for it. According to Zhou Chengdi's order, the range had been doubled. If he was unable to find it this time …
What was going on? He had clearly seen it with his own eyes. Lian Ruyue had thrown her dagger along the wall of the boat into the lake. How could she not find it nearby?
The expression on her face was also somewhat nervous, unlike the usual gloomy expression when a trap had been dug, while Feng Yunzheng remained calm and collected, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. He only quietly waited for the results.
As for that Hui Zhi … He looked at her, and she bit her lower lip and dropped to her knees.
The emperor pursed his lips and sat on the dragon bed, while the empress dowager's face grew increasingly gloomy.
Even the concubine tightly held Feng Guang Yao's hand, she was extremely nervous at the moment.
Time slowly passed, and the air in the inner hall had almost frozen up to the point where people couldn't breathe.
”Your majesty!” Finally, Feng Degui trotted in for the third time. At this moment, his entire body was drenched in sweat, the eunuch's hat on his head was crooked, and he was panting heavily.
