C627 Step clear (1/2)
At this moment, the air seemed to have frozen. Fan Ming kept wiping his sweat, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.
Feng Qianyue's mind quickly thought about how he should deal with Pan Ruocheng who had suddenly popped out, and how he should cover Fan Ming's mouth and make him admit his guilt.
Xiao Zhenhai's forehead started to sweat slightly. This Pan Ruo Chu was really troublesome to deal with. Right now, he only wished that the Emperor would punish him, and Fan Ming would be able to do the job himself.
”Princess Ruoxi, please take a look at these letters.” Feng Yunzheng signaled to Pan Ruocheng.
”I wanted to see who wronged my father.” He couldn't help but smile sarcastically as he said, ”The person who wrote the letters really put in a lot of effort. His handwriting is exactly the same as my father's, except that my father never uses white paper when he writes letters, and he's used to using cloth as well as the imperial reports.”
The moment Pan Ruocheng said this, Fan Ming was greatly alarmed. His body was already so weak that he couldn't even straighten up.
Zhou Chengdi nodded and said, ”Indeed. All these years, Prince An Qing's reports were written in cloth. I had neglected this point.”
Feng Yunzheng walked in front of Fan Ming, condescendingly looking at the person in front of him, and said:
”How dare you, Fan Ming, in order to make Prince An Qing willingly submit to the imperial government, I put in a lot of effort and continued to spy on him for three days and three nights. He finally agreed to dismiss the vassal lords, but now you are standing up to him, you want to break the agreement between King An Qing and this king?”
”This humble subject does not dare, this humble subject does not dare!” Fan Yu was sweating profusely and his face was pale.
”Your majesty, my father has always been diligent in his years as the vassal lords. Now, he doesn't even want the title of vassal lords anymore, but he's actually been charged with such an unwarranted crime. This is too unfair.” I hope that the Emperor can prove my father's innocence! ” Pan Ruochu suddenly knelt on the ground and said to the emperor, ”If Your Majesty cannot restore my father's innocence, then this subject will kneel for a long time. Even if Your Majesty were to chop off this subject's head, this subject would not get up.”
”Royal father, your son's hard work has been ruined by others. It doesn't matter if your son was misunderstood, but if Prince An Qing was misunderstood, that would be a huge mistake, and Fan Ming will be punished for his crimes!” Feng Yunzheng said while facing Zhou Cheng Di.
”Fan Ming, why don't you quickly explain the contents of these letters? Do you need me to throw you into jail? ” Zhou Cheng Di scolded him angrily.
At this moment, Fan Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and more and more beads of sweat appeared. He finally fell to the ground with a plop, and his entire body felt as though it was stuck to the ground. He suddenly opened his mouth —
”Not good, he wants to kill himself!” Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and the concealed weapon in his hand was quickly used, hitting Fan Ming's mouth. Immediately, a mouthful of blood flowed out from his mouth, but he still bit his tongue.
”How dare you, Fan Ming, try to defy my orders with your death. As a general, do you think that I will let this matter go just because you are dead?” If you die, I will exterminate your entire clan! ” Zhou Chengdi pointed at Fan Ming.
While Fan Ming was trembling, he could not utter a single word.
”Someone, bring some water!” Feng Yunzheng ordered. His gaze slowly turned towards Feng Qianyue, who was already clenching his hand. Facing Feng Yunzheng's gaze, a trace of deep meaning emerged from the bottom of his heart.
The bucket of water was filled to the brim and poured all over Fan Ming's body. Fan Ming shuddered as he regained consciousness.
He suddenly burst into tears and said, ”Your majesty, yes, it was this humble subject who was confused. This humble subject, this humble subject, created these letters with my own hands, all because of this humble subject. Your majesty is going to punish me, this humble subject has no complaints, I only ask Your Majesty to let this humble subject's family off.”
When he heard Fan Ming's reply, Feng Qianyue's fist slowly loosened a little, and Xiao Zhenhai's anger that hung over his heart also became heavy.
”Your majesty, I'm afraid this General Fan is trying his best to conceal something?” At this time, a clear and melodious voice came from outside the hall. Everyone looked towards the direction of the voice and saw Lian Yue walk over.
When Feng Yunzheng saw this beautiful figure, the sharpness in his eyes melted into warmth, and his pair of deep eyes were filled with a greasy emotion.
If one liked a person, they would possess a mysterious power, and that person would be happy, angry, and sad. Pan Ruo could immediately feel the change in Feng Yunzheng's gaze, and she was slightly stunned.
This is the love of the Ninth Prince?
She sized Lian Yue up with a probing gaze and analyzed in her heart, 'What kind of person is he?'
Even Ru Yue felt the gaze of the unfamiliar woman in the hall. There was an obvious intent to challenge in her eyes. She then looked at her, and understood what was going on.
