MTL - Feng Xing-Chapter 152

Go as soon as you said, Feng Sheng didn't make any preparations, so he took Brother Xuan to Yingtai.

Yingtai is surrounded by water on three sides, and is only connected to the shore by a stone bridge. After entering Renyao Gate, Feng Sheng found that Yingtai seemed to be different from before, and there seemed to be more imperial guards than before.

She looked it over again to make sure she read it right.

After passing the Hanyuan Gate, there is the Hanyuan Hall, but the imperial concubine does not live here, she lives in the Zaoyun Building behind the Hanyuan Hall.

Feng Sheng walked along the verandah towards Zao Yun Building, when a few eunuchs approached not far ahead.

She took a closer look and recognized Zhang Laishun, the former imperial **** of Qianqing Palace. Zhang Laishun is the godson of Fu Lu, the chief eunuch. He has served the imperial court for many years, and he can be regarded as one of the most trusted confidantes of Emperor Jianping.

"Why is the concubine free to come today?" Zhang Laishun smiled and exchanged greetings with Feng Sheng as if talking to Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng couldn't figure out whether Zhang Laishun came to question her, or just passed by here to chat with her, but fortunately, she already had a charter, so she smiled and said: "No, Brother Xuan insists on making a fuss to find his elder brother The man was called away by the sixteenth prince, and sent someone to Haiyan Hall, saying that he was not there, so he said that he must be at the imperial grandmother's place, thinking that he hadn't come to pay his respects to the concubine for a few days, so he brought him Come together."

"It turned out that I was looking for the empress. The empress is not in the Zaoyun Building, she is waiting for Yuexuan to accompany His Majesty to enjoy the scenery. If the princess does not dislike it, can our family guide you?"

Feng Sheng smiled and nodded: "Then I will trouble Eunuch."

Waiting for Yuexuan to be in the northeast of Zaoyun Building, further north there is a rockery piled up with strange stones, and there is a pavilion on the mountain called Jingguang. There is a pavilion to the east under the Jingguang Pavilion built on the South China Sea. It is only connected to Yingtai by a five-curved stone bridge, and it is called Yuyu Pavilion.

As the name suggests, there are many koi here, which is a good place to watch fish.

The imperial concubine was in the Yuting Pavilion at this time, but she didn't see Feng Sheng in the Yuting Pavilion, but on the five-curved stone bridge. It just so happened that there were a lot of fish in the water here, Zhang Laishun took a pack of fish food and led Brother Xuan to feed the fish, while the imperial concubine stood here talking to Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng saw the many people waiting in front of the Yu Yu Pavilion from a distance, and knew that Emperor Jianping must be there.

Seeing her looking over there, the imperial concubine smiled and said, "Your Majesty said he would accompany me to enjoy the fish, but at the end of the viewing, he became interested in fishing. By the way, I heard that you came to look for Brother Ping, but sixteen Called people away again?"

"I didn't come here to look for Brother Ping, but this kid is too annoying. If you have to make trouble, Brother Ping must be here with you. I will accompany him for a while. I will take a walk and say hello to you along the way." After speaking, Feng Sheng looked at the place where Brother Xuan was standing, and said with a smile: "Look at how forgetful he is, it's also Zhang Gonggong who can coax the children, so he forgot to find brother again."

"Children are like this. They make a fuss when they don't like it. When they are distracted, they forget what they are thinking. Our brother Xuan hasn't seen the emperor's grandmother for a long time. Do you want to see the emperor's grandmother?" While talking, the imperial concubine said Just walked over, teasing brother Xuan.

Brother Xuan nodded and said that he really missed the emperor's grandmother. At the same time, he still didn't forget to look at the fish in the water, and instructed Zhang Laishun to throw fish food there quickly, so as to attract the golden koi he saw.

Feng Sheng came over, took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "Okay, look at you making a fuss about Eunuch Zhang, you just look at the fish when you look at the fish, why do you still have people running around throwing fish food."

Zhang Laishun wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "It's good for the little Huangsun to make a fuss, and he will be healthy when he makes a fuss. Seeing the vigor of the little Huangsun, the slave will like it when he sees it."

Not only Feng Sheng was amused by him, but the imperial concubine was also amused by him, saying that his flattery has not changed for decades.

Having said that, laughed, and finished feeding another pack of fish food, Feng Sheng led Brother Xuan to leave. From the beginning to the end, she didn't ask how Jianping Emperor's dragon body was, and she didn't dare to ask, Zhang Laishun stood beside him.

But from the attitude of the imperial concubine, she also saw something.

I thought to myself, changed my mind?

What does the imperial concubine want to tell her through these words?

When he was about to leave the shore, Feng Sheng looked back at the Yuting in the distance.

When going back, Feng Sheng walked all the way back along the shore.

But he said to brother Xuan, look along the water to see if he can find brother Xuan.

Almost at Baoyue Tower, Feng Sheng stood on the shore and looked into the distance, and could vaguely see the fish pavilion standing alone in the middle of the water.

"Where is that place?" She pointed to another place faintly opposite the fish pavilion and asked, from here only a water pavilion could be seen.

Feng Sheng was accompanied by maids from Baoyue Tower, this was to prevent the masters from getting lost in Xiyuan, and they would follow one or two court ladies or eunuchs who were familiar with all the places.

The little palace lady is not very old, she only looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, and there is a dimple on her cheek, which is faintly visible when she speaks.

"If you go back to the princess, it's the sound of running water."

"The sound of running water?"

The little palace lady nodded: "That's Shuqing Courtyard. Most of the girls who come to Xiyuan this time live there. Liushuiyin is the place closest to the water in Shuqing Courtyard, and Qingyin Pavilion is further ahead."

"Qingyin Pavilion?"

"Yes, the empress lives in the Qingyin Pavilion. Is the princess going there?"

Feng Sheng came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, I'm not going there, I'm just asking."

After going back, Feng Sheng thought about it all night, and the next day, someone told Zuo Yi to stand still.

In fact, it's not that she doesn't move, it's just that she doesn't move on the surface, but she asks Zuo Yi to make some arrangements in private. For this reason, Zuo Yi once again came to Xiyuan in disguise, and the two had a discussion.

At the same time, Feng Sheng sent a letter home to King Wei of Fujian.

On the surface it was a letter from home, but in fact it informed King Wei of the current situation.

Wei Wang's mansion has its own method of sending letters in private. On the surface, it is a family letter, but if Wei Wang takes out a pre-agreed book and compares it, it can interpret another meaning.

Feng Sheng didn't know what Emperor Jianping wanted to do, but he could vaguely guess something, but this guess was a gamble, not only betting on her and the two children, but also betting on the future of Prince Wei's mansion. It's not easy to make a decision to lose the man.

So she sent the letter to King Wei, not only for discussion, but also for him to make a decision. If the two agree, they will implement it according to this method.

In the evening of this day, the imperial concubine suddenly came to Baoyue Tower.

Feng Sheng was very surprised to see her coming suddenly, but since Xiao Anzi next to Zhang Laishun was following the imperial concubine, it was difficult for her to ask what was going on. The imperial concubine talked to her about family affairs, and she talked to her about family affairs, only thinking that the imperial concubine came to see her after being bored in Yingtai.

After a while, brother Ping and the sixteenth prince came back, saying that Feng Sheng asked them to come back for a whole fish feast.

But Feng Sheng didn't order anyone to call them back at all, and only then did she discover that there might be something hidden behind the arrival of the imperial concubine.

But the imperial concubine didn't explain to her at all, she just looked out of the window worriedly, the atmosphere in the hall was frighteningly gloomy, and the children seemed to realize that something might have happened, so they were too frightened to say a word.

The sky is gloomy, and it stands to reason that at this time, the sky should not be so dark, but now the sky outside is as dark as if it had been splashed with ink.

There was a faint sound of thunder.

In the morning, Taozhi said that the sky was so overcast that it might rain today, but after waiting for a whole day, the rain didn't come down, instead it was very hot and stuffy. Unexpectedly, there would be a sign at this evening.

With a few thunderclaps, bright white lightning tore the dark sky apart.

The wind picked up, and the wind creaked the firmly fixed window sash, and outside there were the calls of court ladies and eunuchs and the sound of running back and forth.

"Close all the windows."

Taozhi ordered the maids waiting in the house, and the maids hurriedly dispersed to close the windows everywhere, but the rain came more urgently than people imagined, with a burst of crashing sound, it seemed as if a hole had been broken in the sky, and a lot of rainwater It poured down from the sky, making people tremble with fear.

"mother!"

Feng Sheng couldn't hold back and called out to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine's face was a little pale, but she still patted her hand compulsively, and said with a smile: "Didn't it be agreed to let the children come back to eat the whole fish feast, go and order someone to do it, it can't be rained outside. No need for dinner."

Feng Sheng nodded thoughtfully, and went down to give orders.

After giving the order, she stood in front of the door, looking at the foggy darkness outside, feeling an ominous premonition in her heart.

At the same time, it was raining heavily on Yingtai.

Yingtai was originally independent on the South China Sea, but at this moment the sky seemed to have been ripped apart, and this isolated island seemed to be a huge ship sinking and sinking in the stormy waves.

There was a faint sound of footsteps, stepping on the ground flooded by rain, making a pattering sound.

One by one, the Imperial Guard guards wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats stepped into the water, even though the coir raincoats could not cover their lower bodies, causing their robes and black boots to get wet, they did not waver at all.

"Quick, go faster..."

The whole Yingtai seemed to be a no-man's land, even though these people drove straight in, occasionally eunuchs or court ladies who heard the noise ran out to look around, they were all driven back brutally.

After a while, another group of imperial guards came in a hurry, and this time they seemed to be protecting a few people. They were all wearing coir raincoats, but they walked slowly, and the crimson official robes were faintly swaying in the coir raincoats.

Outside the door of the back bedroom, Zhang Laishun was trampled underfoot.

"What a dog slave, you dare to conceal the fact that your father is critically ill. If something happens to your father, it will not be enough to pay for your dog's life!"

The rain was so heavy that people couldn't open their eyes. Zhang Laishun lay prostrate on the ground, his face was trampled by a foot dripping water. The turbulent rain wet his mouth and nose, and he couldn't even breathe, let alone speak.

"Master Qingchenzi, my father has always held you in high regard, why don't you go in and take a look?" King Hui glanced at the closed palace door, and gave Qingchenzi a threatening look.

"This—" Qingchen hesitated.

"Why? Don't the Daoist dare?"

Qingchenzi didn't dare, but thinking of presenting those pills to Emperor Jianping, he couldn't help but feel chills from his heart.

Of course he is not stupid, there is no doubt about the fate that awaits him after doing this, maybe King Hui will not let him go, after all only the dead can keep secrets. But he was already on the verge of riding a tiger, he would die if he did it, and he would die if he didn't do it, he could only hope that King Hui would save his life after the matter was accomplished.

Qingchenzi stepped forward tremblingly, his face was wet with cold sweat, maybe it was rain, but at this moment he couldn't care less about it, and he was in his own hands.

It seemed that the palace was not a dying emperor, but a beast.

The door was opened and then closed again.

Jiang Boxue, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "His Royal Highness, is it wrong for you to do so?" Shivering.

Zhao Shujie, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "What's wrong? Your Majesty has never seen me waiting since the illness. If His Royal Highness Hui Wang hadn't discovered the clue this time, I don't know how long it was hidden. Your Majesty has never established a reserve. If there is an eventuality, we must have a regulation, and the imperial concubine must not be allowed to serve in the front alone, it is time... the important relationship among them, Mr. Jiang should understand."

Jiang Boxue naturally understood that it would be fine if Emperor Jianping established a reserve, but if there is no such thing as a sudden illness, the real dragon will return to heaven at that time, and whether it is black or white can be decided by the imperial concubine alone.

After all, everyone knows that after His Majesty let out the news of recuperation, the imperial concubine has always been serving the imperial court.

The imperial concubine has been favored for many years, and her influence in the palace is unquestionable. If she really messes with the will or oral order, it will be too late. So he could also understand why King Hui was so impatient and invited everyone here.

As for Qing Chenzi, he was just a dog looking for the way.

Whether Emperor Jianping is good or bad depends entirely on the opinions of the Zhonggong family, no one dares to rush in and disturb Shengjia, King Hui probably did this to make everyone feel at ease.

As for peace of mind, whether Qing Chenzi will do anything in it is not something everyone can care about.

The few people who figured out the importance of this all waited with bated breath, while their minds kept churning with various thoughts at the same time. If His Majesty really has something wrong, how should he stand in line at the right time, and if all this is King Hui's speculation, how should he get rid of the relationship and so on.

The few people who came here felt a little regretful. They knew that they should not have come to this muddy water, but who knew that King Hui would dare to falsely pass on the oracle, and then King Hui explained the reason to them. It's too late to go back.

The door opened silently from the inside, startling everyone.

It's Qingchenzi.

He had a strange expression on his face, hesitated for a moment before saying: "There is no one inside, not a single person."
