Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 329 Provocation
Concubine Yang was scolded all over her face, and her expression turned ugly immediately.

His lips moved, not knowing what to say, so he just lowered his head, with a bit of irritation in his eyes.

She really didn't expect that Xie Meiren would do such a stupid thing alone.

It was fine if he suffered a loss, but it caused her to be scolded.

Originally, she came here to help Xie Meiren, but Fang Yun and the Queen were working together to investigate the case, and everyone around them was strict with their mouths, so Concubine Yang didn't get the news in time, so she came late.

No, when she arrived, Xie Meiren had already confessed her crime and was thrown into the cold palace. She even opened her mouth and was scolded by Pei Yao.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Xie has been punished. There are still smallpox patients in the harem. To protect the health of the dragon, Your Majesty, it is better to return to Jingqian Palace as soon as possible."

At this moment, the queen stood up and said in a deep voice.

It didn't matter who was sick, the important thing was that Pei Yao couldn't fall down.

Nowadays, there is a war on the border, and it is not a peaceful time.

Pei Yao nodded and finally said, "This kind of thing must not happen again. The Queen must order people to strictly guard the sick people, and we must not let the scope of smallpox infection increase."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I must be more vigilant and take more precautions!" the Queen said seriously.

After explaining to the queen, Pei Yao looked at Fang Yun again.

"Has the condition of the second princess improved? Is the fourth prince okay?"

When he mentioned the child, Fang Yun frowned slightly, and worry appeared on his face.

"My concubine got up in the morning and asked about it. She said that the second princess's fever had subsided for an hour and a half, and then she had a fever again. Now it has been recurring and not getting better. However, the fourth prince is fine now and there is no abnormality."

Because the fourth prince was very frail from birth, she took extra care of him. From the time the first case of smallpox was discovered, she asked her servants to disinfect and eliminate the disease every day. The same was true for the people who served the fourth prince.

Although everyone around the second princess did the same thing, the second princess is now older and has to go to school and has to go outside every day. She can't control her children and runs around a lot, but she didn't know when she got infected.

Hearing that the second princess was still having a fever, Pei Yao also looked worried.

However, he still comforted him, "With the imperial doctors keeping watch day and night, the condition was discovered quickly, and everything will be fine."

These words are very weak, but now besides hoping, there is no other way.

Fang Yun could only nod, "Well, thank you Your Majesty for your comfort."

Pei Yao told the Queen and Fang Yun a few more words respectively, and casually asked Concubine Yang about the situation of the third prince before leaving in a hurry.

There is still something going on in the past.

After he left, the queen naturally did not leave Fang Yun and Concubine Yang behind, and waved her hand to leave.

After leaving Fengxuan Palace, Fang Yun was about to get on the sedan chair and drive him out, but he was stopped by Concubine Yang calling from behind.

"Aren't you surprised how Beauty Xie can enter and exit the isolation area of ​​the Cold Palace so easily?"

Fang Yun turned his head and looked at her coldly, "What do you want to say."

"I just want to remind you that people's hearts are separated from each other. If you don't like me, don't treat others as well." Concubine Yang curled her lips.

Immediately he glanced at Jiao Fang Palace behind him.

"The Queen has always behaved properly. She sent people to guard the isolation area of ​​​​Leng Palace. Why didn't she discover that Xie Meiren's maid had been there earlier? Or is it that the Queen deliberately condoned it?"

After speaking, Concubine Yang took two steps forward, stood beside Fang Yun, and whispered.

"I admit that I am jealous of you. You are favored and have a pair of children, but the Queen may not be so broad-minded and virtuous."

After leaving these few words, Concubine Yang got into her sedan chair and drove away.

Looking at her back, Qingrong pursed her lips and was about to say something, but was blocked by Fang Yun.

"Let's go back to the palace."

Speechless all the way.

After returning to Zijin Hall, Yan Wei stood guard at the door. When he saw someone, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Has Beauty Xie been punished? Is the queen okay?" "No problem, the queen is fair in her dealings. We have conclusive evidence that Xie has been relegated to the cold palace."

Qingrong replied and motioned for her to close the palace door.

Yanwei understood and called the few maids sweeping the room to exit, then closed the door and followed him into the inner room.

"What's going on? Hasn't Xie Meiren's matter been settled?"

Seeing the thoughtful look on Qingrong's face, Yan Wei asked.

But it was Fang Yun who answered.

"Concubine Yang said a few words to me just now. The implication was that Beauty Xie was able to succeed this time because the queen deliberately allowed the guards of the cold palace to relax supervision. This girl is worried."

"Ah?!" Yan Wei was surprised, but after thinking about it, he frowned and said, "Don't say it, Madam, maybe, it's really possible."

"impossible."

Fang Yun narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly and firmly.

The two maids looked at each other, showing some confusion.

Then Fang Yun said calmly.

"When I was pregnant with the fourth prince, I was poisoned and murdered by Xu Xiner. Xu Xiner was the Crown Princess's direct cousin, and we had a close friendship with her. Under such circumstances, the Crown Princess could kill off her relatives with justice and fairness. She has taken care of the concubines in the harem these years. Si, she is also dedicated, which shows that she will not do anything to the child. Yang's words were just to provoke."

After being together for so long, Fang Yun could figure out the princess's temperament quite well.

"Besides, the Crown Princess has no heirs. If she kills me, no one in the harem will be able to compete with Concubine Yang. Concubine Yang is the only one, so she will definitely go straight to the Queen. To say the least, even if she wants to keep her son, my Ji'er How can a weak body withstand smallpox, and who can guarantee that if we live in the same house, my child will be able to escape my illness.”

After hearing what she said, the two maids thought about it and felt relieved.

It is indeed the case. If something happens to Fang Yun now, it will not be of much benefit to the queen.

After excluding the queen, Qingrong said softly.

"Look, my slave, Concubine Yang doesn't seem to know what Xie Meiren has done. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here to be scolded."

"So, Mrs. Xie herself would probably not have thought of this sinister method. If Concubine Yang hadn't guided her, then who else could have been involved?"

Fang Yun asked with a smile.

"Wan Liangyuan!"

The two maids said this almost at the same time.

Fang Yun took a sip of tea and said, "I know, let's go and check. Wasn't the palace maid named Yu Lian next to Mrs. Xie sent to Yeting Prison?"

The place in the palace where criminal slaves were tortured and interrogated was called the secret prison, and the place where criminal slaves were imprisoned was Yeting Prison.

Because Yu Lian had confessed everything, he did not need to be punished and was sent directly to Yeting Prison.

"Slave, go now." Yan bowed slightly and stepped out quickly with a straight face.

After Yanwei left, Qingrong asked in a low voice, "Madam, when will we make plans for finding Chen Xun?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Concubine Yang. I have to put some effort into getting involved with her. But now that the second princess is ill, I really don't have the energy, so I'll take it easy for now."

Hearing this, Qingrong didn't say much.

And Yan Wei, who went out to do some errands, came back very quickly.

Yu Lian had already been sent to Yeting Prison and was extremely disappointed with Xie Meiren, so she naturally told him everything as soon as she asked.

Sure enough, it was Wan Liangyuan's words and guidance that made Xie Meisheng have bad intentions.

After hearing this, Fang Yun lowered his eyes.

"What would Concubine Yang do if she knew that Wan Liangyuan deliberately sacrificed one of her chess pieces?"
