Chapter 170 Entering the Palace and Poisoning
imperial study room
Zhou Fuhai hunched over in the hall and said, "Your Majesty, I went to the Duke's Mansion to deliver a reward to His Royal Highness Prince Mo, but His Royal Highness Prince Mo was not there since the beginning of the morning. I waited for three cups of tea before returning to the Duke's Mansion."
The Queen chuckled as she wrote at the top, "It is indeed so."
After saying this, he lifted the Golden Phoenix Cup from the table and took a sip. "Pass the order down. Your Highness, the Crown Princess, will not repent until the day of your wedding."
Zhou Fuhai: "Yes, I will convey your order right away."
When the people from the palace came to the princess's residence again, the housekeeper was scared when he saw them.
When Xiao Siying and others learned about it, they hurried to the main courtyard.
At this time, many of the princess's confidants gathered in the main courtyard.
As soon as the young eunuch who delivered the imperial edict entered the main courtyard, he felt the fierce gazes of the people around him, who wanted to tear him apart. So he swallowed his saliva and quickened his pace.
When they arrived at the study in the main courtyard, Feng Zhaoyun was only wearing a white inner garment. The room was very warm. When she saw the young eunuch, she still sat at the head of the table.
The young eunuch said, "I, your servant, pay my respects to Her Majesty, and convey His Majesty's order: Your Majesty, if you do not repent, shall not leave your home from this day forward until your wedding."
Feng Zhaoyun sighed helplessly, "I am seriously injured and cannot perform the ceremony. Since the eunuch has come to deliver the decree, why don't you rest and have some tea?"
The young eunuch heard him bend his waist a little more. Drinking tea? He didn't dare. "No, no... Thank you, Your Highness. I have to return to the palace to report. I will take my leave."
After saying that, he quickly disappeared into the main courtyard with his men. The people in the main courtyard were really scary.
As soon as Xiao Siying saw the man leave, she rushed into the study and pushed the door hard. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in, blowing up Feng Zhaoyun's hair on both sides.
Feng Zhaoyun rubbed his arms and said, "Close the door!"
Xiao Siying quickly closed the door and asked, "Your Highness, why did His Majesty punish you again?"
Feng Zhaoyun said, "All of you please leave."
After all the eunuchs and maids around her left the study, Feng Zhaoyun picked up a bowl of hot milk and said, "Why else could it be... I just went to the Duke's Mansion, and now I'm being punished."
Xiao Siying looked puzzled. What was the secret behind this?
Seeing her look of confusion, Feng Zhaoyun sighed, "Sit down, there are a few bowls on the table, drink up."
Seeing the milk on the table, Xiao Siying frowned, "I won't drink it. I'm not one of those frivolous women."
After saying this, he looked at the princess drinking happily, so he covered his mouth...
Then he stood up and said, "Your Highness, we have recovered a lot from our injuries here. Sister A Zi's medical skills are very impressive. It's almost time for us to leave."
At this moment, Jiuyi dragged A Zi into the study...
This is back.
Ah Zi shook her hand away and said, "Let go! You're annoying! Sister Jiuyi."
Seeing Ah Zi's face full of resentment, Feng Zhaoyun thought Jiuyi had bullied her, "Jiuyi, why are you doing this?"
Jiuyi closed the door, brushed off the snow, and stepped forward, saying, "Master, Ah Zi has caused you a lot of trouble."
Ah Zi put her hands on her hips and grumbled, "Nonsense! I don't have that!"
Xiao Siying separated the two of them in the middle, "You went to the Duke's Mansion, why do you act like enemies..."
Feng Zhaoyun saw Jiuyi's serious face and knew it was true. He put down the milk in his hand and asked, "Jiuyi, what happened?"
Jiuyi said, "Your Highness, Ah Zi told His Highness King Jin that you were really worried about King Mo and asked Ah Zi and me to go and see him. You also said that King Jin was stingy and not as gentle, generous, and likable as King Mo."
Feng Zhaoyun looked helpless...
"What did King Jin say?"
Jiuyi, "King Jin asked us to leave."
Xiao Siying couldn't help but almost laughed out loud...
Seeing her sister Ayun's face turn pale, A Zi quickly pulled Xiao Siying's sleeve and said, "Sister Siying, did A Zi really do something wrong?"
Xiao Siying patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, you're still young. You'll understand when you grow up."
Feng Zhaoyun covered his head and said, "Forget it... Ah Zi, please go down first. I have something to tell them."
Knowing that she must have done something wrong, Ah Zi nodded obediently and quickly left the study.
After Ah Zi left, Feng Zhaoyun said, "His Majesty just came and issued an order to confine me until the wedding."
Jiuyi, "Then His Majesty must have known about Prince Mo's affairs today."
Feng Zhaoyun said, "These are all minor matters. I asked you to prepare the manpower and go to the Moon Country, but that can only be put on hold for now. Have you received any news from the Moon Country recently?"
Jiuyi, "The secret guards reported back that Nangong Shang is indeed dead. Nangong Liuying's coronation ceremony will be held in a few days, and the invitation has been delivered to the main hall. His Majesty summoned the Second Princess to the palace, presumably intending to have her attend the banquet as an envoy to the Moon Kingdom."
Hearing that Nangong Shang was indeed dead, Feng Zhaoyun's hopes were dashed once again. "Wasn't he the Moon Country's God of War who could fight a hundred alone? Back then, Yun Jin could evenly fight him. How could he be killed like this by Nangong Liuying?"
Jiuyi clasped his fists and said, "I heard that... Young Master Xiao Qingyue poisoned His Highness Nangong Shang in order to help Nangong Liuying. Then, he was stabbed in the heart by Young Master Xiao Qingyue and died."
Hearing Xiao Qingyue's name, Xiao Siying hesitated to speak. She knew that her cousin was definitely not that kind of person, but she also knew something about the Yue Kingdom, and it was indeed like that.
Xiao Siying, "Your Highness..."
Feng Zhaoyun waved his hand to interrupt, "Find a way to keep the Second Imperial Sister. She will definitely leave tomorrow. There's a banquet tonight. Siying, you take Ah Zi with you. The poison you use must not harm the human body. There's no need to hurt the Second Imperial Sister."
Xiao Siying accepted the order, "Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Feng Zhaoyun walked to the window, gently opened it a crack, and looked out at the red plum blossoms in the courtyard. "Jiuyi, go pick a red plum blossom and personally give it to His Royal Highness King Jin."
Jiuyi, "Yes."
After everyone left, Feng Zhaoyun picked up the chess piece on the table and recalled when he first met Nangong Shang and helped him out of trouble in Liushui County. He once said, (Even if others want to kill you, I will protect you).
Thinking of this, Feng Zhaoyun held the child in his arms, his brows half closed, and said, "I will kill her for you."
