Chapter 48 Concubine De's Anger
"Ma'am, I don't have one."

"You still dare to quibble!" Fan Yuejiao, the female officer at the side, scolded angrily, stepped forward quickly, and slapped her face twice.

"enough."

Concubine De's light words forced Fan Yuejiao, who was about to take the opportunity to vent her anger, to stop and return to her original position.

Concubine De looked at Feng Xiuyun who had fingerprints on her face instantly, with a calm expression, "You have been with Ben Gong for so many years, you should know that Ben Gong is not a mean master. But! What you did this time made Ben Gong very angry!"

Feng Xiuyun hesitated to speak, but in the end she could only fold her hands on the ground, put her forehead on the ground, and knelt down on the ground, not daring to say anything.

"Father has just told Bengong that he wants Bengong to bestow you on that Xia Jingyun."

"It is said that I have not returned home for more than ten years. This is the first thing my father asked me for, and it is just a trivial matter. I should not refuse."

"However, your actions have touched the bottom line of this palace, and this palace will tell you directly."

Concubine De looked at Feng Xiuyun and said in a deep voice, "Don't even think about it!"

Seeing Concubine De's seldom getting angry, the old nanny and Fan Yuejiao both said in unison, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Feng Xiuyun's body trembled, and she buried her head lower, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Concubine De waved her hand, "Go on, it's still the same sentence, I have clear rewards and punishments, this matter punishes you, and the reward you deserve will not miss you."

Feng Xiuyun did not move.

"Ok?"

Feng Xiuyun raised her head with a sad expression, "Your Majesty, I don't want you to reward me, can you let me say a word?"

Concubine De looked at this female official who was always very utilitarian, and nodded.

Feng Xiuyun said sincerely: "Please don't misunderstand Mr. Xia because of this. This matter has nothing to do with him. He is indeed an excellent person, and he didn't deliberately get close to the old man."

Fan Yuejiao showed mockery, and said furiously: "Your Majesty! Listen, this lowly servant girl is still trying to excuse her lover!"

Concubine De said lightly: "Slap your mouth!"

Fan Yuejiao sneered and walked towards Feng Xiuyun.

She had even thought about how to slap her harder this time, she never thought that the old woman beside her would come up quickly and slap her face twice.

She staggered directly.

She reacted in astonishment, lying on the ground tightly, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"Head up!"

Concubine De gave orders calmly, and then looked at Fan Yuejiao, "Remember, it's not your turn to take advantage of this Palace's affairs. Next time, go to the Clothes Bureau!"

Fan Yuejiao trembled and kowtowed like garlic.

After driving out the two female officials together, there was no one else in the room, Concubine De collapsed and leaned on the soft bed exhaustedly, finally revealing a bit of woman's squeamishness.

The old mammy smiled and stepped forward to help her pinch her leg.

"Nurse Yuan, you can do something for this palace in a while."

"Your Majesty is serious."

"Go and spread out what happened just now. I want to see how Xia Jingyun, who was praised by his father, will deal with my anger."

"Yes."
-
"Of course the fire is extinguished with water!"

Xia Jingyun was lying on Xie Yanzhi's lap, bragging about the secrets of the palace for her, "So in the palace, a large tank will be placed not far away, and the water in it will be checked regularly, so that it can be used in case of fire."

"Young Master knows so much, it's as if you've actually been to the palace!"

Xie Yanzhi flattered her sincerely.

I have not only been there, but I have been there many times, but not here
Xia Jingyun muttered to himself, and then asked, "How about the thing I asked you to pay attention to?"

Xie Yanzhi shook her head, "Recently there have been a lot of people in the city, but I haven't seen any people from the quackery. Occasionally, some strong and strong people I see are the guards next to the dignitaries, and no one is hiding a large weapon secretly."

"And the new county lieutenant is very capable. I heard that the guards in the entire county have been trained very well. They have changed from the loose style of the past, and now they are patrolling day and night. There has been no trouble for many days. Even if someone wants to make trouble, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

According to the laws of the Great Xia, except for the government and the army, it is not allowed to gather people with weapons. That's why Xia Jingyun felt emotional about the power of Yunfu when he watched the guards standing in the palace with a knife.

Regarding Zheng Tianyu's purpose of dealing with him, he thought a lot, but he still had no idea, so he could only change his perspective and think about the biggest thing at the moment. Could it be that what the other party thought was related to Concubine De?
He was also frightened by his own brain hole at the beginning, Zheng Tianyu was crazy to abandon his bright future to do such a thing.

But when he thought about it carefully, it wasn't necessarily so, so he asked Xie Yanzhi to help him pay attention to whether there were any unidentified people from the rivers and lakes in the city.

After hearing Xie Yanzhi's words, Xia Jingyun heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was worrying too much.

What the hell is Zheng Tianyu going to do!Could it be that there are some secrets in that labor camp?

After talking nonsense about business for a while, Xia Jingyun smelled the fragrance coming from his nose, and couldn't help but think of the scene that appeared in front of him that night.

The grass is luxuriant and the waves are surging.

Then I couldn't help feeling a little distracted.

Feeling that he will be raised for a few days, and his body has recovered, he plans to shoot out like a dragon tonight, and she is full of thoughts like a villain.

Turning over, he was about to put on a posture and break in the door when he heard a knock on the door outside.

The two sighed in unison.

When Xia Jingyun came to the door, he heard Xia Yunfei's voice, "Erlang, someone is here."

Naturally, Xia Yunfei already knew about Xia Jingyun's "Golden House Cangjiao", after all, he had to escort him here from time to time.

Xia Jingyun also knew that his elder brother looked dull, but in fact he was very open-minded, so he regretfully glanced at Kongu Youlan behind him, "Another day."

Following Xia Yunfei on the way back, Xia Yunfei continued to explain: "Mr. Yun came here in person."

Xia Jingyun was taken aback for a moment, and immediately started running.

When he ran out of breath to the gate of the courtyard, he saw a sedan chair.

Presumably, Mr. Laiyun also knew that if he went in, the whole Xia family would be in trouble, so he just waited on the sedan chair.

"Hoo hoo. Master, why are you here? Isn't your mother here today?"

Old Master Yun lifted the curtain and waved his hand, all the guards and bearers scattered around, Xia Yunfei also took a few steps back, leaving only the old servant standing aside.

He sighed in a low voice, "Just now, Your Majesty called Mr. Feng over, scolded him severely, and then slapped her lips, saying that she colluded with outsiders and tried to seduce this old man to fulfill his selfish desires."

Xia Jingyun was shocked at first, then calmed down, and frowned suspiciously, "It shouldn't be, what does this matter have to do with Master Feng? Could it be that someone slandered it?"

"No!"

Old Master Yun shook his head, "This old man was careless. I thought that between father and daughter, you can speak directly, but I forgot that time has passed and the empress is no longer the young girl of the past. When I first met today, I rashly proposed to her to reward you with Feng Xiuyun. Maybe it made her feel suspicious, thinking that I was bewitched by you."

"That's not the most important thing."

Old Master Yun looked at Xia Jingyun apologetically, "We have already agreed that we will take you to see her tomorrow. With this impression, I am worried that it will be bad for you!"
