Chapter 172 Handkerchiefs
In Feng Qingli's heart, at this moment, she was not at all happy that she should have been after making the hateful queen mother speechless with anger, but instead, the violent emotions in her heart lingered for a long time.

Just like back then, after he came back from the dead, he finally narrowly escaped death. After finding out the truth, anger burned in his heart, violent emotions surged in his mind, and he wanted to destroy everything.

The emotion at that moment is exactly the same as it is now.

However, at that time, he knew that he could not act rashly, because at that time he could only fight and knew nothing about it. The soldiers under him were a little powerful, but they were only fighting. no.

So I can only pretend that I don't know anything, and I have to pretend that because of the injury, I gave up on myself and turned into a dandy prince to confuse Feng Qingheng, and then try my best to plan for the future.

But it's different now, now, he is no longer the weak Feng Qingli he was back then.

He has enough power to make enemies who offend him and frame those he cares about pay a heavy price.

At this moment, the strong self-confidence and power emanating from Feng Qingli made Gu Mingxuan couldn't help being slightly taken aback, but at the same time she smiled happily - at this moment, from Feng Qingli's body, she saw her father in front of her. The shadow of the big event, or rather, this is not the shadow of his father, but this is what Feng Qingli, who was regarded as the god of war in the Yong Dynasty, should have been.

No matter what hardships he has experienced, no matter how much he disguises himself, once the critical moment comes, he will show his original appearance.

Gu Mingxuan likes to see him be himself like this.

Feng Qingli protected Gu Mingxuan, and walked slowly to the gate of the palace. Then, Feng Qingli sent Gu Mingxuan to the carriage of the Marquis of Shun'an, and she gave Chengxun a few orders to take away the palace maid Qinfang. Take care of it first, wait for him to come back, and then send him to see you. After that, Feng Qingli got into the carriage of Prince Yong's Mansion. Although he really wanted to share a carriage with Gu Mingxuan, it's a pity that the Queen Mother might still be eyeing her. He himself was not afraid, but he was afraid that the mother would find fault again and call Gu Mingxuan into the palace to bully her.

This time I arrived in time, what about next time?
Wouldn't it be bad if I didn't arrive in time?

Feng Qingli planned to bear it for a while, anyway, she would still have a chance to speak when she arrived at the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion.

"Don't worry, whether it's the Qin family or my good fifth brother, I won't let it go. No one can bully the person I want to protect." In the Marquis of Shun'an's mansion, Feng Qingli originally wanted to send Gu Mingxuan in, but He said a few thoughtful words to Gu Mingxuan, but there was Gu Ping standing beside him. Gu Ping had come to invite Feng Qingli to come over on Gu Wenqian's order. Facing Gu Ping who had been staring at him closely, Feng Qingli could only regretfully give up her plan to "have a good" talk with Gu Mingxuan, but lowered her voice and said to Gu Mingxuan.

Gu Mingxuan nodded, smiled and said to Feng Qingli: "I trust Cousin Qingli, don't worry, I'm fine."

Feng Qingli looked at Gu Mingxuan's back with melancholy, and then, when facing Gu Wenqian, she lost the warmth she had before, her eyes and face were full of coldness, and after greeting each other with Gu Wenqian, she said: "What happened today is because I didn't Handle it well, I should guard against the fifth brother and the queen mother."

He knew that the Qin family and the fifth prince were ready to move, and he also knew that the queen mother had always favored the Qin family, but he never thought that the queen mother would dare to do things so blatantly. If he hadn't been in the palace to inform him in time, Xuan'er almost...

Feng Qingli's breath became icy cold again.

Similarly, Gu Wenqian's complexion is not good at this moment. After receiving the news, he was anxious and almost went directly to the emperor. After entering the palace, he was stopped by Feng Qingli's people, knowing that Feng Qingli had already gone In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he finally calmed down slowly.

But the more calm he became, the more turbulent the anger hidden in Gu Wenqian's heart became.

They bully people too much, since they can't bear it anymore, there is no need to bear it anymore.

The Gu family is not a soft persimmon!
Therefore, even though he was clear-headed, he still pretended to be full of anger and grief, and rushed in front of the emperor, knelt down and kowtowed while weeping.

The emperor was shocked, and after that, he asked him what was going on, but Gu Wenqian just kowtowed and said: "My daughter is so blessed, I can't bear to be the concubine of His Royal Highness King Yong, and I ask the emperor to issue an order to cancel the marriage..."

The emperor is the emperor, and Gu Wenqian, as the emperor's close minister, naturally knows that the emperor is of good nature. If he sues the emperor as soon as he comes in and asks the emperor to punish the Qin family, the emperor will definitely be unhappy-you are just a minister, you can punish whoever you want. It's so majestic to punish someone, is Zhen the emperor or are you the emperor?

So Gu Wenqian directly retreated to advance. A tough guy burst into tears. The emperor saw it, and he also had compassion. After all, Gu Wenqian was his confidant, and the Qin family had always been hated by him. Now the Qin family is fighting Looking at the queen mother, she forced herself and her courtiers. Is it true that the Qin family intends to abdicate herself and let them sit in this position by themselves, so that they will be satisfied?
Facing Gu Wenqian who was crying bitterly, the emperor made a look, and someone went out to inquire about the situation. After that, the emperor comforted Gu Wenqian while waiting for the news. In fact, the emperor did not make the emperor wait too long, and the eunuch came back and whispered in the emperor's ear In a few words, the emperor's face remained unchanged, and even his tone of comforting Gu Wenqian remained unchanged. However, the emperor faintly hinted that Gu Wenqian, if he is wronged, don't have to bear it. I will make the decision for you anyway, and wait until Gu Wenqian wipes it off. After the tears came out, the emperor went directly to the Compassionate Ning Palace with a gloomy face.

At this moment, the Compassionate Ning Palace is in chaos, Feng Qingli is arguing with the queen mother, the emperor is listening outside, the more he listens, the more he is satisfied with Gu Mingxuan, and also with Feng Qingli. As for the queen mother...that is his mother's queen mother , but he doesn't think about him at all, Gu Wenqian is his own minister and the pillar of the country, but the queen mother wants to make a loyal minister feel cold.

Thinking of Gu Wenqian crying like that, the emperor couldn't bear it, but also felt guilty towards Gu Wenqian - he decided that if Gu Wenqian made a big fuss and made the Qin family suffer a great loss, as long as they don't destroy the Qin family, he They will turn a blind eye to bear the pressure of the Queen Mother for him.

Anyway, he has disliked the Qin family for a long time, and Gu Wenqian can act according to the order, so he can vent his anger for him.

Just because he got the emperor's sentence "If you are wronged, don't bear it, I will make the decision for you anyway", so Gu Wenqian understood the emperor's attitude, and at the moment with a gloomy face, when talking to Feng Qingli, he also After speaking the emperor's words, he said to Feng Qingli: "What happened today is not your fault. If you want to blame it, blame someone for being too rampant..."

Feng Qingli has been very busy recently. As more and more news came from the territory of the two kings, and as the two kings became more and more nervous because of the emperor's probing actions, they competed to rectify military affairs and prepare secretly. Grass, it seemed, was planning to go to war, so Feng Qingli, the former god of war, was placed in high hopes by the emperor, and he was given a great right to dispatch troops and generals.

So Feng Qingli and herself are very busy.

He was able to rush to the palace so quickly, which shows the importance and love he has for Xuan'er.

Moreover, he was able to resist the empress dowager's stalking, and brought Xuan'er out unscathed.

At this moment, Gu Wenqian truly agrees with Feng Qingli's status as a prospective son-in-law. As long as he treats Xuan'er well, he can be asshole as much as possible.

Feng Qingli also noticed the change in Gu Wenqian's attitude towards him, but there was no joy in her heart. At this moment, neither he nor Gu Wenqian could be happy.

Feng Qingli told Gu Wenqian about today's incident, that Concubine Pei De and the Fifth Prince had meddled. This time, Concubine Pei De and the Fifth Prince played so well that they almost achieved their goal without spending any effort. Haha , They used to be so easy to take advantage of the cheapness in this world!
The two quickly reached an agreement on this matter - since Gu Wenqian already has the emperor's acquiescence, Gu Wenqian will be mainly responsible for the affairs of the Qin family, and Feng Qingli's people will assist; as for Concubine Pei De and the fifth prince, Gu Wenqian will do it. If so, the emperor would definitely have objections. In the final analysis, the fifth prince is still his son, and the emperor would definitely not like his son to be tossed about by his courtiers, even if the courtiers he likes to trust, he can't do it.

But Feng Qingli did not have this concern.

If he did something, the emperor would be dissatisfied, but as long as he didn't go too far, nothing would happen.

After the discussion, Gu Wenqian went to deal with the affairs of the Qin family, while Feng Qingli returned to the palace and took Qinfang to meet the queen. The queen knew about the farce in the harem long ago, and the queen also knew that the queen mother This time, being "fainted" by Feng Qingli's anger, the queen couldn't help gloating, and the queen naturally knew about Qin Fang.

Harem, these things spread so fast, there is almost nothing that can be hidden.

Therefore, after the queen went to visit the queen mother who had "just woken up from a coma", she waited for Feng Qingli to bring Qinfang over with peace of mind. Anyway, the matter didn't have much to do with her, as long as she acted casually, it was fine.

Of course, if you think it's interesting, it's okay to add a firewood fan to light a fire or something.

As for when she was in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the nuns beside the queen mother came to her quietly, saying that as long as Qin Fang, a lowly maid who dared to bully the queen mother, "suicide in fear of crime", the queen mother would definitely praise the queen's "filial piety", hinting that the queen directly Just ignore it.

The Empress Dowager usually only regards Concubine Qin as her own daughter-in-law, wishing that Concubine Qin could replace her as the empress of the mother world; as for the empress dowager's joyful attitude towards the fact that her emperor's son is weak and sick, it makes the empress even more I have long held a grudge against the Queen Mother—why, isn't my emperor's son your emperor's grandson?It's fine if you don't love him, and you're still secretly happy, thinking that my emperor wished he could die of illness, so as not to block Shisan's way, it's really abominable.

Because of this, the queen would make trouble for the queen mother when she had nothing to do, not to mention such a good opportunity was brought directly to her, how could she kill Qin Fang to make the queen mother feel better.

Feng Qingli didn't keep the queen waiting for too long, so she came to visit the queen with a smile.

At that time, the Empress was ordering someone to send some fresh fruits to the Eighth Prince's Concubine. Hearing this, she ordered the maid in a leisurely manner before asking Feng Qingli to come in.

"I have seen my mother, please greet my mother." Feng Qingli saluted the queen with a smile, and the queen also smiled and said no. She wasted her saliva, so she smiled and brought the topic to today's matter: "Xuan'er came to the palace today, and she was supposed to visit the queen mother, but she was frightened and restless. She was disrespectful in front of her, so she was sent back to the Marquis of Shun'an's residence first, Xuan'er was very disturbed because of this, and asked her son to apologize to the queen mother on her behalf, and hoped that the queen mother would not be angry."

coming!

The queen's spirit couldn't help being lifted, with a concerned expression on her face, she asked: "Oh? Are you frightened? Are you okay? I have a prescription for calming the nerves here, and the effect is very good, Zi Luo..."

A court lady next to the queen came out to find Fang Zi according to the queen's order, and then Feng Qingli said with a smile: "I think the queen mother has a lot of good medicine here, so let's give some to Xuan'er by the way."

The queen gave Feng Qingli a sideways look, and said: "Don't worry, I can't lose you, is this palace a stingy person?"

"Of course the queen mother is not a stingy person, isn't this Erchen's impatience." Feng Qingli didn't feel embarrassed or embarrassed at all, and sighed: "Seeing that Xuan'er is afraid, Erchen also feels distressed."

The queen expressed her understanding, and then asked with concern: "I heard that there is a maid from the Palace of Compassionate Ning who is naughty?"

"Naughty can't be explained clearly." Feng Qingli didn't believe that the queen didn't know, but since the queen was pretending, he said it once, and then said: "This is deep in the harem, what kind of market rumors can come in? Erchen felt that someone was going to disturb the palace on purpose. Thinking of these things, Erchen thought it was better not to disturb the imperial grandmother, so he offered to send the person to the empress's side, so that the empress could share the worries of the empress. The empress would not Weierchen has a lot of trouble."

"This is a matter of my palace." The queen saw that Feng Qingli's face became serious, and her own face became serious. After replying, Feng Qingli asked Qin Fang to be brought in. handed over to the Queen.

Feng Qingli can probably guess that when the matter involves the Empress Dowager and Concubine Qin, the Empress is definitely willing to investigate further. When it involves Concubine Pei De and Fifth Brother, the Empress probably does not want to cause that trouble. Anyway, she is the Empress. The starling is destined not to be the emperor. Therefore, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, it will not make much difference to the empress. After all, no one can shake her queen mother's position.

However, Feng Qingli will naturally not let the queen back down. It is not suitable for him to investigate the affairs of the harem by himself, so he needs to borrow the name of the queen on the surface, but secretly, he can also investigate the evidence, and these investigations He will put all the evidence that he has obtained in front of the queen, even if the queen doesn't want to investigate it.

When Feng Qingli left, the queen glanced at Qin Fang who was gagged and trembling, then snorted, and asked Qin Fang to be pulled down for questioning. What she wanted was just a result.

The people who were sent to the eight emperors' womb just now have come back. By the way, there are also people in the eight emperors' womb. They happened to meet Qin Fang and were dragged down. The nanny who was with the queen's maid, look After taking a glance, he looked away. In the palace, if you don't ask too much, don't ask too much. It's best to keep silent.

However, when her gaze landed on the place where Qinfang was dragged, she suddenly froze, and then she said: "Go and pick up that veil for me, the pattern looks quite delicate."

But when Qinfang was struggling, the handkerchief she was wearing fell out.

There was a little court lady who went to pick it up, and someone hurried to Queen Tongbing.

"Ma'am, Aunt Zhu is here." Zi Lan came in from the outside and said to the queen with a smile.

When the queen heard the words, she immediately became happy and said, "Call in quickly."

This Aunt Zhu was a personal servant girl brought by the queen from home. After the queen gave birth to the eighth prince, she became the personal maid next to the eighth prince. Until now, she has become the eighth prince's aunt in charge.

Ever since the Eighth Prince married the second daughter of Guanglu Siqing, Aunt Zhu has gradually handed over the affairs of the Eighth Prince's uterus to the Eighth Prince's Concubine, and the Eighth Prince's Concubine also respects Aunt Zhu very much. Sensible, I hope that Aunt Zhu will teach you more in the name of, but she often pushes things to Aunt Zhu, and she herself only cares about one or two important things-people and money, and the other is to serve the Eighth Prince wholeheartedly. Things are improving, and I can walk a long distance outside the palace without being supported by others. The queen is very happy recently.

Aunt Zhu came to thank the eighth concubine, and after she came in, she said: "The eighth concubine is grinding ink for His Highness, and she wanted to come back later to thank you, but the servant thought that the slave is very free now, so she had the audacity to ask for it." An errand, come here to ask for some fruit to eat."

The queen was very happy when she heard that the young couple thought about it very much. She smiled and asked people to bring fruit. After Aunt Zhu and the queen said a few words, she glanced at the queen—she had been serving the queen since she was a child. There was a very tacit understanding between them. When the queen saw her wink, she sent everyone out calmly, leaving only two very useful people around.

Aunt Zhu said, "Young lady, let's see this."

Aunt Zhu took the handkerchief she had just picked up outside, held it with her handkerchief, and presented it in front of the queen, and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember this kind of embroidery?"

After the queen was startled, after looking down for a few times, her complexion suddenly changed!
"Where did this come from?" The queen seemed to be filled with anger, and asked in a low voice.

"Young lady, just remember." Aunt Zhu's complexion was not very good, she put away the veil and said, "It fell off the maid who was dragged out just now."

The queen stood up suddenly, her complexion was livid and red for a while, and then, in anger, the queen slapped the back of the chair fiercely, and said angrily: "Could it be that the old godmother, even her grandson Don't let it go?"

Of course she remembered the pattern on that embroidered handkerchief, because it buried her deep hatred.

Otherwise, how could one of the most common weeds and flowers be firmly remembered in her heart by the mother of a country.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Aunt Zhu said, "This servant thinks that although Qin Fang is from the Empress Dowager's Palace, her heart may not be toward the Empress Dowager."

The queen was startled, and then understood what Aunt Zhu meant.

This imperial palace, what you see may not necessarily be real, perhaps, it is just what others want you to see.

Therefore, the queen sat down slowly, then looked at Aunt Zhu, and said: "You are right, I am impulsive, you go back first, I think about it first..."

After Aunt Zhu left, the queen thought about it for a while, and said to Zi Lan: "Help me, and ask Nanny An to come over."

Zilan was slightly surprised. Nanny An was an old nanny who was brought into the palace from home when the queen entered the palace. It will be called to talk in a few days, but this is the first time Zilan has seen it as if Madam An is going to do something like this.

Nanny An was quickly helped in. She was over 90 years old and couldn't walk steadily, but she was in good spirits. After paying homage to the Queen, she was helped by the Queen herself and sat on the chair next to her.

Zi Lan took it for granted, serving this Nanny An attentively, but Nanny An didn't let them be busy anymore. She looked at the Queen with a smile and said, "Is there something wrong, Madam? Come, talk to the old slave, the old slave can't do anything else, say You can still speak."

The queen then told about today's events, the key point was still the veil that Qin Fang had left on her body.

Nanny An's expression was still the same as before with a smile on her face, like an old woman watching her grandson chomp down on food. She thought for a while and asked, "His Royal Highness, is it really inhumane?"

Mother An's words were very straightforward, the queen was stunned, and Zilan and the others were still big girls, but they didn't understand everything, so they were a little shy, but they still pricked up their ears and listened to An Mammy spoke.

"Since His Royal Highness King Yong escaped from the dead and returned to Beijing, he has been active. He didn't like to do or care about political affairs before, but now he has many of them in his hands. I heard that many things are done very well, and he has won the emperor's approval. Appreciate, so, I'm afraid someone will be in a hurry..."

"So, whether His Royal Highness King Yong can be humane or not becomes the key."

Sister An said with a smile, as if she was telling a story to her grandson very lovingly, but her words were very sharp, and she also hit the nail on the head when looking at the problem.

The queen was slightly stunned, because her son was definitely not destined for that position, so she didn't pay much attention to political affairs. She only knew that Xiao Jiu had become more and more favored recently, and many people were willing to take refuge in Xiao Jiu, but they didn't think deeply about it.

"Ma'am, what do you mean, those are all dressed up as little nines?" The queen was a little surprised, she was not a very alert person, after all, when she got married, the emperor was just a prince who was not very favored. So later, the family sent Nanny An and another nunnery who had passed away into the palace to help her manage affairs and give advice.
