C401 What a scandal (2/2)
”No, no …” ”Fourth Prince, I'm one of your highness. Your servant doesn't know anything and didn't see anything. It's all because your highness asked your servant to say that …” Hui Zhi's vision went black, and he finally fainted from the pain.
Imperial Concubine Su was shocked. Hui Zhi had been by her side for many years, and it turned out to be someone from the Fourth Prince? But she didn't notice at all.
The emperor's expression turned increasingly gloomy and terrifying.
He suddenly realized that the fear, terror, and worry on her face had already disappeared from her eyes. What remained in her eyes were only endless indifference and ridicule, and a slight smile even appeared on the corner of her mouth.
As for Feng Yunzheng, he stood behind Lian Ruyue. They seemed to be on one side, and they were working together to beat him!
Feng Qianyue looked at the unconscious person on the ground and shook his head, saying once again firmly, ”This son doesn't know her. She is deliberately framing this son.”
”Your majesty, chenqie finally understands that this Hui Zhi will stand up at such a crucial moment to frame Yue'er. Everyone in chenqie's palace has always been obedient, never raising their head, and according to chenqie's understanding of Hui Zhi for all these years, she's timid and cautious, and she's also afraid of things. Today, she was ordered to do so by someone, and she also said just now that she …” She is someone of the Fourth Prince. Could it be that she has been monitoring chenqie on his behalf all these years? ”
”Imperial Concubine Fu!” Feng Qianyue said coldly, ”Stop spouting nonsense and slandering this king.”
”Aunt, Hui Zhi has been in the Yi Xiu Palace for many years, if she has any relationship with the Fourth Prince, she will always leave some traces behind. Yue Er pleads Aunt to investigate Hui Zhi's residence and search her body.” At this time, Lian Ruyue said at the side at the right time.
”Your Majesty …” Imperial Concubine Fu looked pleadingly at the Emperor.
”Search.” The Emperor gave his orders.
”Yes.” The search was carried out on both sides, with Jiang Keji leading his men to search for Hui Zhi's residence on one side. The two mama searched for Hui Zhi's body, and after a while, one of the mama took out a piece of jade from Hui Zhi and placed it in front of Zhou Chengdi with both hands.
The emperor took the jade pendant and his expression immediately changed. He became furious and threw the jade pendant at Feng Qianyue, saying, ”What is this? Why is it with this palace maid! ”
Feng Qianyue took the jade pendant and was immediately alarmed. This jade pendant was … It was hers, it was his! He always wore it on his body, how could it be on Hui Zhi? Hui Zhi was his man, but he had never given her a jade pendant.
”If it wasn't someone close to you, how would I have gotten your piece of jade? This is something you treat as a treasure!” Zhou Chengdi threw the bowl on the ground and shouted angrily.
”Father, this is your son's personal property, so you definitely won't give it to a palace maid. There must be a secret within, so I request father to investigate.” Feng Qianyue's mind quickly pondered, how did this jade pendant come into contact with Hui Zhi?
”Your Majesty, all of the palace maids' belongings are here.” At this time, Jiang Keji and the guards came in and placed a bundle on the ground.
”Open it and take a look!” The empress dowager's face was gloomy as she ordered with a frown on her forehead.
”Yes.”
After the package was opened, the eunuch went forward and took out the things inside one by one to display them in front of the crowd. To Feng Qianyue's shock and dismay, within the package were three other things related to him, one was the crown he wore, the other was the palace fan he used, and the last was a love letter from Hui Zhi, but he didn't finish writing it, and only wrote a few words, making it hard to tell what he wanted to say.
However, for a palace maid to possess such items, it was sufficient to indicate that there was a blood feud between the prince and the palace maid.
As a prince, he had so many connections with his concubine's palace maid. This was truly an ugly affair within a palace.
