Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 163
What he did in order to ascend the throne back then was indeed criticized.However, he is not afraid that he will suffer the same fate, just because he is old and the crown prince is still young, so he can wait until he abdicates.

"Where did Lian'er come from?" the queen asked.

"I just went to Xi'er's palace and talked to her for a while." Murong Lian replied with a smile.

"Oh? How is Xi'er feeling?" Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help becoming interested, "I just heard from your mother and concubine that Xi'er has recently resisted getting married, so he's in a bad mood?"

Murong Lian pondered for a while, and said: "Xi'er did punish a court lady this morning, and punished with her own hands, almost beating that court lady to death."

"How could this be?" The queen frowned, "What about the maid? She's dead?"

The emperor also looked at Murong Lian.

Murong Lian shook his head: "No. Thanks to one person, she was the one who held Xi'er's whip with her own hands and saved the maid's life."

"Oh?" The emperor and the empress stared in surprise. They all knew Murong Xi'er's temper. When he was the most irritable in his early years, he would kill two people in one day.It's gotten a little better over the years.Who can stop her?

The queen's eyes flickered, and she sighed: "Xi'er is so old, why can't she control herself so much? It's all us who have spoiled her all these years."

"Thanks to that embroiderer, she is so courageous that she dared to speak out to Xi'er. Otherwise, the little maid would have died under Xi'er's whip immediately." Murong Lian said.

"What happened to that embroidered lady?" the emperor asked.

Murong Lian took the opportunity to reply: "Father and Queen Mother don't know, two days ago Xi'er found an embroiderer from outside the palace, she was the one who made high heels for Xi'er. I don't know what she said , Xi'er let the little maid go."

"In that case, that embroidered lady has some skills." The emperor nodded.

The queen frowned: "It's just that there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. Xi'er is a noble daughter of the Tian family, how can she be allowed to be a little civilian woman?"

The emperor pondered for a while, and said, "Why don't we call the embroiderer lady, and let's take a look?"

The empress also had this intention in her mind, there was a person around Murong Xi'er who could influence her actions, but it was not good for her plan.

"It's just a embroiderer. How can I work for my father and mother to look at me? Such a simple matter, it's better to leave it to my son. But Xi'er is my son's own sister, and she is also my son's minister. It's a matter of duty." Murong Lian volunteered.

When the queen heard it, it was the same reason. She is the mother of a country, so how could she have such free time?Turning his head to look at the emperor, seeing that the emperor had no objection on his face, he nodded and said, "Then leave it to Lian'er."

With the approval of the two, Murong Lian was ecstatic in his heart, but suppressed his face, and said: "Xi'er will keep a close eye on that embroidered lady, I'm afraid I won't see you. Why don't father and mother ask Xi'er to talk about it?" , by the way, teach her a few words, don't take out your anger on the slaves casually. My son just went to ask the embroidered mother's background, and kill two birds with one stone."

The words were so clear that the empress was full of pride, and the emperor nodded with satisfaction: "My son is becoming more and more like a king. Then I will follow you." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and called out: "Come on, Go and call the princess."

Murong Lian saw that the matter was more than half done, and he couldn't wait to see Feng Yao, so he got up and said: "The minister has also gone out, lest Xi'er come later and say that I sue her. The emperor and the queen love her, and then turn back If you turn your head around and scold the minister, the minister will be wronged."

The words made the emperor and empress laugh endlessly, and waved their hands again and again: "Come on, come on, you go quickly."

Murong Lian's wish was fulfilled, and he left Xuanming Palace contentedly.

On the way, he passed by Murong Xi'er.Murong Xi'er rushed to see the emperor, but left quickly without paying attention to him.

With a smile on Murong Lian's face, he went to the Embroidery Court of Yongning Palace, caught a little maid, and said: "Go and call Fengxiu Niang."

The little palace lady was Qing'er, her expression changed, and she went to the Embroidery Court to deliver a message.

"Feng Xiu Niang, the princess has been summoned by the emperor, the crown prince is here and wants to see you!" Qing'er walked into the embroidery courtyard and said hurriedly.

Feng Yao was slightly taken aback, what a coincidence?
After thinking for a while, Feng Yao said: "I would like to ask Qing'er to tell His Royal Highness that the Feng family is just a little embroiderer. Without the permission of the princess, she is not allowed to go out of the embroidery courtyard. If His Royal Highness has anything to do, I will make a decision after the princess comes back." .”

Seeing that Feng Yao was not flustered, Qing'er was filled with admiration: "Then I'll go back." Lifting her skirt, she turned and ran back.

When the other embroiderers heard these words, their eyes widened like copper bells—what a phoenix embroiderer!It's not enough to be valued by the princess, but he even got into the eyes of His Highness the Prince!
After Feng Yao finished speaking, she went back to the room, spread out the paper, studied ink and continued to draw patterns.

Soon, a man's voice came from outside the courtyard: "Is Lady Fengxiu here?"

This voice is... Murong Lian?Feng Yao was startled, her wrist paused, a drop of ink dripped from the tip of the pen, and fell on the paper below, instantly blurred and blurred.

For a moment, his forehead was a little bulging.He simply put down the brush and stepped out.

Other embroiderers also came out one after another, knelt on the ground in a mess: "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Murong Lian didn't even look at them, but looked at Feng Yao who was coming, with amazement in his eyes.I saw the sun passing by the eaves and hitting obliquely, just falling on half of Feng Yao's face.It made half of her face exposed to the sunlight, bright and gorgeous.The other half of the face is hidden in the shadows, quiet and beautiful.

But her skin is white, tender and smooth, like an egg that has just been peeled off its shell, which sets off the crow's black hair like a cloud, and her vermilion lips are extraordinarily charming.Immediately, Murong Lian's heart was itchy: "Fengxiu Niang, please take a walk with His Highness."

Feng Yao blessed her body with a calm face, and said: "His Royal Highness, the woman is the embroiderer hired by the princess, and she was ordered to make clothes for the princess to wear during the Osmanthus Festival, and she was not allowed to leave the embroidery courtyard."

As soon as the words fell, Sun Xiuniang, who was kneeling on the ground, turned her head and said sourly: "Feng Xiuniang, don't hold it in front of His Highness the Crown Prince? It is your good fortune to be favored by His Highness the Crown Prince. Do you still want His Highness the Crown Prince?" Will you be able to ask three times and four times?"

Murong Lian's gaze sank, and he said coldly, "Come on, slap your mouth!"

Sun Xiuniang couldn't help being stunned: "His Royal Highness? Civil woman—"

Before he finished speaking, the little eunuch next to His Royal Highness lifted his collar and slapped his mouth back and forth.He slapped her ten times in one breath, until Sun Xiuniang's face was swollen into a steamed bun, and the corners of her mouth were broken.

Murong Lian said in a cold voice: "My Highness is here under the order of the Emperor to interrogate the Feng family about her assault on the princess. Wait a minute, don't speak out loud!"

It's fine for Murong Xi'er to ridicule him repeatedly, she has been the most favored princess in the entire palace since she was a child, she has the capital of willfulness.What right does this dry ugly woman have to judge him?
Seeing this scene, the others knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to say a word.

"Feng Xiu Niang, come with Your Highness." Murong Lian asked Feng Yao with his hands behind his back and his chin raised.

Feng Yao bowed her head and said: "His Royal Highness, forgive the women who are hard to obey."

Murong Lian couldn't help frowning, and winked at the little eunuch beside him.The little eunuch said: "Mr. Feng, do you know that if you resist the order and disrespect it, you should be punished for the crime!"

It's easy to go, but it's hard to come back.Feng Yao bit her to the death and didn't let go, she just said: "The women would like to follow the princess's order and stay here to make the clothes for the princess and the imperial concubine to wear during the Osmanthus Festival. The order of His Royal Highness, forgive the women for being difficult to follow."

This time, Feng Yao specially ordered "Great Concubine Empress".

Sure enough, His Royal Highness frowned, with some impatience in his eyes, he winked at the little eunuch.The little eunuch immediately walked around the kneeling embroiderers and grabbed Feng Yao.

At this moment, Yan Xiuniang kowtowed suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Her forehead hit the hard ground, and there was a "boom".

The little eunuch's footsteps stopped, and Murong Lian couldn't help but frown: "What did you say?"

Yan Xiuniang said loudly: "The princess has an order. No one is allowed to step out of the embroidery courtyard without being summoned. His Royal Highness is a nobler man than the princess. It is not a problem to call Feng Xiuniang away. I just beg His Royal Highness to call us together. Otherwise, when the princess comes back, we will definitely not be able to spare our lives."

Murong Xi'er has such a cruel temper, today she almost killed a court lady, if it wasn't for Feng Yao's protection, she might have lost her life.When Murong Xi'er found out that Feng Yao was gone, no one could tell if she would become violent and take revenge on them.By that time, Fengxiu Niang, the only one who could stop the princess, is no longer around, isn't it just that every day should not be done, and the land is not working?
The others figured out this link, and hurriedly followed Yan Xiuniang, kowtowing their heads and begging for mercy: "His Royal Highness, please spare me!"

Murong Lian suddenly became upset and wanted to behead them all, but he was afraid that Murong Xi'er would make a fuss afterwards.Pursing her lips, she said to the little eunuch: "Feng Shi didn't obey the imperial decree, so I will forcefully send you back with His Highness!"

"Yes, Your Highness." The little eunuch squeezed his throat in reply, and stretched out his hand to grab Feng Yao's arm.

Seeing that Murong Lian was determined, Feng Yao was very helpless.Taking a step back, he said: "Elder-in-law respects himself." Then he raised his head and said to Murong Lian, "It's not that the women deliberately disobeyed the order and disrespected, but the princess ordered that they should not leave the embroidery courtyard. Your Highness may as well leave a decree and hand it over to the princess. Those who want to make a decision after the princess comes back."

Murong Lian managed to apply eye drops to the emperor and empress, coaxing Murong Xi'er to leave Yongning Palace, how could he miss the opportunity?Murong Xi'er would come back at some point, he was anxious and went to catch Feng Yao himself: "Feng Shi, obediently follow Your Highness, don't want to toast and not eat fine wine!"

As he approached, he smelled the faint fragrance from Feng Yao's body, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't help but whispered: "Beauty, let's go with my highness. In the future, if you eat hot food and drink hot food, my highness will definitely not treat you badly."
