Nagato has such a slim waist

"Killed!"

"Someone come quickly——"

Meixiang's screams pierced the sky, startling the crows above Huixin Hall. They flew among the treetops and cried, as if conveying some sad news...

Li Sangruo is no longer able to do it.

When Feng Yun squatted down to look at her, her face was pale and distorted, her lips were opening and closing with difficulty, and she spat out blood...

"Li Sangruo?"

Feng Yun looked at her and raised his voice.

Li Sangruo's chest was still rising and falling slightly, and his fingers were weakly scratching the ground, trying to find a trace of support and redemption.

Feng Yun: “Who did it?”

Li Sangruo's lips trembled slightly.

She could no longer make a sound, her throat was sobbing, her eyes were wide open, and her fingers were trembling as she stretched them towards her...

"Sister-in-law...save...me..."

The flame of life was about to go out, and she used all her strength to spit out the desire to survive.

Calling Feng Yun "sister-in-law" revealed her identity, and she also wanted to use the word "sister-in-law" to buy a chance to prolong her life.

Feng Yun frowned and looked at her wound with a cold gaze.

"If you don't want to die with regrets, tell me who did it?"

Li Sangruo suddenly pulled her hard, his eyes wide open, and he spoke in a confused tone, "Tang...it's Tang..."

She slowly lowered her hands.

The fingertips were still moving, but the breath was weak and there was no strength left...

Treat the thief as your father.

Love for my brother.

The son died young.

She was about to die at the hands of her lover, in front of Feng Shier Niang. Her short life was completely worthless, and all the wealth and splendor she had once possessed was gone...

She didn't even have time to recognize Pei Jue and call him brother in person.

She is ridiculous, pitiful, sad, hateful, and shameful...

She threw herself into the fire and tried to possess more at all costs, but ended up with nothing. She shaved her head and became a nun, and died in the nunnery...

·
"Quick! Inside."

A shout and the sound of messy footsteps sounded at the same time. In a moment, Meixiang led a group of people and rushed in through the open door.

The blood is dazzling.

Everyone stood there in silence.

The whole room was dead silent.

"Your Highness!" Meixiang cried out in pain, knelt down in front of Li Sangruo, and slowly crawled to her side, crying and sobbing.

"Your Highness... why didn't you wait for me? Why did you leave like this..."

She burst into tears and suddenly turned her head to look at Feng Yun, her face fixed with a complex and sad look.

"Princess... why are you so cruel? Her Highness has reached such a desperate situation. From now on, she can no longer compete with you. Why are you still unwilling to let her go? Why do you insist on killing her?"

Meixiang's expression changed so quickly that Xiaoman was caught off guard.

Her eyebrows raised and she exploded immediately.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy?"

Meixiang cried with tears streaming down her face, "I know that the princess is a noble person, and I am worthless, but His Highness has treated me well. Even if I die, I will seek justice for His Highness..."

As she spoke, she pounced towards Feng Yun.

Xiaoman acted decisively and kicked her to prevent her from getting close to Feng Yun.

Meixiang couldn't bear her strength anymore. She took two steps back, fell to the ground, and then collapsed and burst into tears.

"Your Highness, why don't you take me with you? Take me with you..."

Xiaoman was so angry that she took one look at Feng Yun's cold face, her face flushed a little. She pointed at Meixiang viciously, and then hurriedly explained to Master Huixintang who was wearing monk's robes and a group of people.

"When we arrived, this slave was waiting outside. She said the late queen mother was taking a nap inside and she wanted to pass on a message. Then she came over and screamed. We walked over and saw... The late queen mother was lying here, covered in blood. My wife was kind enough to save her..."

"Xiaoman." Feng Yun said coldly, interrupting her and smiling faintly.

"Since the nun is here to clean up the mess, it's none of our business. Let's go."

Xiaoman was very unconvinced, "My wife..."

Feng Yun's face darkened, "Let's go!"

Xiaoman: “Yes.”

Everyone's eyes were on Feng Yun. She turned around and walked away with a blank expression on her face.

Xiaoman glared at Meixiang angrily, snorted, flicked his sleeves, and followed Feng Yun closely.

The nun in charge of Huixin Hall shouted "Amitabha", stepped aside, lowered her head, and dared not look any further.

Feng Yun had informed her when she came, so they all knew who the young lady in front of them was.

It is actually inappropriate for Meixiang to call Feng Yun "Princess".

Feng Yun was no longer a princess consort. Although he had not been made queen, she was the new emperor's only woman, his legally married wife.

She is the abbess of a nunnery, and it is not her place to comment on precious people's affairs, life and death.

Feng Yun's eyes were sharp and he walked over with his head held high.

No one stopped her. Meixiang sobbed loudly, mourning for her "master", crying out to heaven and earth, complaining about the injustice of heaven, and her voice could be heard from far away...

Xiaoman was very angry when he heard this.

"Madam, why don't you let the maid explain?"

Feng Yun didn't even turn his head and smiled faintly.

"Explain what?"

Xiaoman said anxiously: "The death of Empress Dowager Li has nothing to do with us."

"Humph!" Feng Yun looked at her coldly, "Does it matter whether they believe it or not?"

Xiaoman choked.

These people in the nunnery cannot interfere in the affairs of the heavenly family.

So, it really doesn’t matter whether they believe it or not.

"But we can't let that lowly maid talk nonsense and tarnish my reputation."

Feng Yun said: "Can't you see? This is a set up."

A set up?

Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and looked at her as if he understood something.

"Then what should we do?"

Feng Yun smiled gently, "Eat well and drink well."

Xiaoman: “…”
-
Feng Yun did exactly that.

I returned home, took a hot bath, and came out smelling fragrant, as if nothing had happened. I ate and drank as usual.

The news that Li Sangruo was murdered in Huixin Hall was spread at that time, but it gradually fermented the next day.

Word spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and everyone in the court and the market knew about it.

Feng Yun and Li Sangruo had a feud many years ago. When she went to Huixin Hall, Li Sangruo died an accident. Li Sangruo's personal maid also came forward to identify Feng Yun. It can be said that all the evidence was perfectly closed, and almost no one suspected that someone else was responsible for Li Sangruo's death.

No matter how incompetent Li Sangruo was, even if he "asked to become a monk", he was no longer an ordinary citizen. The new emperor came to the throne by the abdication of the Yuan family. After ascending the throne, he respected the royal family of the previous dynasty and treated the old people of the previous dynasty well. Naturally, the death of Empress Dowager Li could not be ignored.

In the Chongzheng Hall, the court officials were engaged in a heated argument.

The biggest voice among them was that Feng Yun could not be made the Queen of Dayong.

By the end, everyone was talking and gradually couldn't stop.

The focus of the debate, in addition to the tragic death of Empress Dowager Li, is also Feng Yun's Changmen Troupe...

This matter has been pending for a long time.

Those who had previously opposed Ruan Pu's use of the Changmen Troops as an excuse actually turned against him after Pei Jue proclaimed himself emperor and stood on the other side, believing that Feng Yun should not have kept private soldiers.

When the dispute was brought to Pei Jue, it became a decision that everyone agreed upon.

If Feng Shier Niang wants to rule the country, she must dismiss Changmen's troops or hand them over to the court for control. Otherwise, she cannot be the queen...

Pei Cong did not express his opinion in court.

After the court was dismissed, Tang Shaogong asked to see him alone.

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences." Tang Shaogong's face was solemn, his grief was evident in his words, "I thought that the late empress dowager went to Huixin Hall to shave off her three thousand strands of troubles, cultivate her mind and enlighten her nature, and that she would be reborn from then on. Who would have thought that she would die, and be separated from the Yin and Yang from now on..."

Pei Jue sat firmly on the dragon throne, looking into his red eyes.

"Are you here to advise me on how to deal with my wife and Nagato's followers?"

Tang Shaogong looked back at him calmly, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Your Majesty, the people in the court are furious and the people are angry. It is difficult to appease them... I know that Your Majesty loves Madam Feng, but you must not act on your own and cause more trouble..."

Pei Cong pursed his lips and said nothing.

Tang Shaogong continued, "Mrs. Feng's Changmen Troops will eventually become a major threat to the court. If Your Majesty protects them at this time, it may be detrimental to the stability of the court..."

Pei Jue looked at him calmly.

"What if I insist on protecting it?"

Tang Shaogong paused slightly, then bowed.

"The new dynasty has just been established, and many things are waiting to be done... Your Majesty must not let personal feelings interfere with state affairs."

He spoke with awe-inspiring justice.

Pei Jue looked at him deeply.

"You are right. I should not ignore the state affairs of Dayong for my own selfish reasons..."

Tang Shaogong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Pei Jue glanced at him and waved his hand.

"You can go down now. I will handle this matter properly and give an explanation to the whole government and the people."

Tang Shaogong bowed and said, "I'll take my leave!"
-
At night, Feng Yun was almost asleep when Pei Jue came back.

He changed his clothes and washed up, then stood in front of the couch and looked at her, "Are you asleep?"

Feng Yun curled her lips slightly and turned her head. Her dark eyes were particularly bright under the dim light.

"She called me sister-in-law."

Pei Ran was startled.

Feng Yun said: "They say that when a person is about to die, his words are kind. I think she may be sincere."

Pei Jue asked: "What else did she say?" (End of this chapter)
