The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 285 The Eldest Princess Believes Her
Feng Yao's journey back to the capital was fairly smooth, at least she didn't encounter any obstacles as she imagined.But Fengyao was not idle either, the prefects of two cities along the way were corrupt and corrupt officials just like Lang Qi of Mingyue City.Feng Yao simply made a decision for the people, without even questioning, he was directly beheaded.

But the two prefect's sons and daughters were not specially arranged by Feng Yao, except for their eldest son who was sixteen years old and was exiled from the army, the rest were dismissed; the family property was confiscated.Undoubtedly, this is another good thing that makes the people cheer.

When Fengyao arrived at the post station forty miles away from the capital, the imperial decree had already arrived.Explain that when Fengyao enters the city, the emperor will personally greet him outside the palace gate.This is glory, Feng Yao smiled after receiving the imperial decree.

"Princess, are you going to pass through the palace and enter the city tomorrow?" Zi Ying came to ask Feng Yao what he meant at night.Because the palace dress is complicated, it needs to be prepared earlier, so as not to miss something when getting up in the morning.

Feng Yao thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, the journey is full of dust and dust, what kind of palace clothes are you wearing? Just wear a dark riding suit, it's neat."

Ziying nodded and turned to go down, Feng Yao suddenly called her from behind: "Call Xueying over, I have something to tell her."

After a while Xueying came, already much thinner and darker than when she came out of Fancheng.Feng Yao looked Xueying up and down, making Xueying a little uncomfortable.He squeezed the skirt of his clothes tightly and called out timidly: "The eldest princess."

"Put on the best clothes you brought with you tomorrow. Entering the capital is not like going through those ordinary cities. From now on, this capital will be your home. You have to support me as much as you need." After speaking, Feng Yao waved his hand, indicating that Xue Ying can go down.

Xueying held the hem of her clothes and walked to the door, but stopped before pushing the door open, facing the door for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Only then did Feng Yao ask her: "Is there anything else? Oh, if you want to see your brother, that's fine. But I have to wait a few days, and after I return to the mansion and settle everything, I will arrange for you to meet. After all...you and your brother are both After the criminals."

Xue Ying hurriedly turned her head, looked at Feng Yao and shook her head, but then nodded immediately, "Princess Xie, that's not what Xue Ying thinks about."

"Then tell me." Feng Yao smiled, and she knew that Xueying would have something to ask herself.

"The eldest princess really believes me? I didn't plant the arsenic." Xue Ying's voice was a little anxious, and she walked back quickly while talking, and knelt at Feng Yao's feet.

Feng Yao looked at Xueying.Xueying was still pinching the corner of her clothes, looking a little nervous.Feng Yao asked her: "You came to me and said this at this time, because you are afraid that I will harm your brother after entering Beijing?"

"No." Xue Ying shook her head and said, "I wanted to say it a long time ago, but the eldest princess didn't give me a chance."

"I've also wanted to tell you for a long time. If I can bring you back all the way, it proves that I believe in you. You really didn't do the poison."

Xueying trembled when she heard this, and finally let go of the corner of her clothes that she had been pinching, and looked up at Feng Yao.She really didn't understand, why others didn't believe it, but Feng Yao was so sure that it wasn't her?In any case, he was indeed the most suspected one.

Sometimes, Xueying even felt that she was possessed by a ghost at that time, so she went to the kitchen and poisoned herself in a daze.

But then Xueying told herself over and over again that she must never admit to something that wasn't true.That's not clarification, it's backbone.Even if everyone doesn't believe it, as long as your mind is right, it's right.

Feng Yao just looked down at Xue Ying's eyes like that, as if he could see layers of meaning in her eyes.Then he said slowly: "Because I believe that you always have a good side in your heart. You hate me, but you are not so mad that you have no scruples, and you will not even harm a pregnant woman. In fact, it is too easy for me to die. However, some people dare not try the easy method, and so many innocent people have been implicated instead."

After finishing speaking, Feng Yao sighed, and reached out to rub Xueying's hair.Then he said lightly: "Actually, sometimes, someone who has been trusted by your side for a lifetime is not as trustworthy as an enemy. Because you hate me, you only think about how to deal with me, and don't bother to deal with others."

"Princess, I... I don't understand." Feng Yao's hand touched Xueying's head, and an unexpected warmth flowed into her heart.It seems that my mother touched my head like this when I was very young. Later, my father had concubines one after another. My mother had no time to take care of herself. She only thought about how to win back my father's heart, and how to have another younger brother. If you don't have a seat in the living room, you don't have time to stroke your hair like this.

But... the eldest princess in front of me is not a few years older than me, why is her hand so warm?

"Go down, remember, put on your best clothes tomorrow. When you enter the city, you will walk by my side." After a pause, Feng Yao added: "On the left."

"Yes." Xueying lowered her head in response.But then he trembled, looked up at Feng Yao, and couldn't believe his ears.The eldest princess let herself walk on her left?The position on the left is reserved only for first-class court ladies and personal servants.And myself...

"Go ahead, I'm tired too. Tomorrow morning, I will be on my way, forty miles away, and I need to leave before dawn." Feng Yao got up and entered the inner room.

Xue Ying was still kneeling there, and after a while, suddenly felt dark in front of her eyes, it turned out that it was Feng Yao who turned off the lamp in the inner room.Only then did Xueying get up, she collected herself and walked out.

The distance of forty miles is not considered short, so I really got up before dawn and hurried on my way.Feng Yao rode a thunderbolt, wearing a dark blue riding outfit, the blue was almost black.But at this time, it was not yet dawn, Feng Yao's slender and solitary figure appeared heroic.

Ten miles away from the capital, the sky is already bright.You can see the welcoming car ahead.Feng Yao led people to gallop over, and the leader was actually Qin Mo.

Qin Mo stepped up first and said, "The eldest princess has worked hard all the way, and the emperor specially ordered the servants to wait for you again. Please, the eldest princess, get in the car."

Feng Yao got off the horse as soon as he saw Qin Mo.Glancing at a carriage with red curtains and colored silk behind Qin Mo, he shook his head and said, "It's not convenient to take a carriage, so let's go on horseback. Thank you, Concubine Qin."

Qin Mo glanced at Feng Yao's dashing riding attire, waved his hand, and signaled for the carriage to move away, and to get out of the way on the road to Beijing.Qin Mo got on his horse and accompanied him to Beijing with Feng Yao.

The north is still covered with snow, and the roads are dripping with ice, but now the capital has seen willow trees with green shoots and peach trees full of flower buds.The wind in the air is warm and humid, and the new clothes and smiles of the people in the capital make Feng Yao feel that he has entered another realm.
