The palace maid was stunned for a moment by these questions, and then said, "Your Majesty, I really can't remember what day it was, but you told me that you are the emperor's new favorite. If the imperial concubine is old and beautiful, she still competes with you for favor. , I simply don’t know what to say, you just want to teach her a lesson.”

"As long as Concubine Ru is gone, the palace will be yours."

These words made Feng Mingye even more angry. If Zhao Yan hadn't asked more questions, he would have gone up and kicked the person to death.

But Feng Chengxuan on the side could hear a hint of conspiracy.

Zhao Yan doesn't look like such a stupid person. Would she tell these words to a palace maid?

What she wants the palace maid to do is to promise her something at most, and there is no need to talk nonsense at all.

These words seemed more like someone had made them up for the palace maid to say to anger Feng Mingye.

In fact, not only Feng Chengxuan thought of it, but also Gu Linqiao and Feng Yunsu, because this method was really too vulgar and superficial.

Zhao Yan was not angry when he heard the maid's nonsense. Instead, he asked calmly, "Do you know the relationship between the Queen and me?"

The palace maid stammered, "I know... I know, the Queen is your aunt."

Zhao Yan stared at her and asked, "You said that I harmed the concubine Ru to win favor and to dominate the harem, so did I also have the intention to harm the empress?"

"The Queen...this...servant doesn't know."

As soon as this question was asked, not only the palace maid was confused, but even Feng Mingye also showed doubts in his eyes.

"Okay, since you don't know, then I'll ask something else."

Zhao Yan changed the subject again, "Have you ever been to Concubine Ru's chamber?"

"No." The palace maid shook her head truthfully. She couldn't lie even if she wanted to, because she was just an inferior palace maid and was not qualified to enter the imperial concubine's bedroom.

Zhao Yan asked again, "Then how did you get into Concubine Ru's chamber today?"

The palace maid hurriedly said, "It was your concubine who bribed the people in the imperial concubine's palace, and it was they who let me pass."

After saying this, the other maids in the palace were all trembling.

This is simply a frame-up, they have never done anything like this!

Zhao Yan asked calmly, "Who am I looking for?"

The palace maid then said, "If someone from the imperial concubine's palace responds, I don't know who it is."

"Since I can bribe the maids in Ru Guifei's palace, why don't I let the people in Ru Guifei's palace poison Ru Guifei instead of using you? You are a low-level palace maid who has never even entered my bedroom. How could I Let you come to the concubine's palace to poison you?"

Zhao Yan's words made the palace maid completely confused, and she didn't know how to answer at all.

But she didn't say this for the palace maid to hear, but for Feng Mingye to hear.

A few questions revealed the flaw of this palace maid, and the incompatible preface and follow-up proved that this matter was framed by someone.

Zhao Yan faced Feng Mingye and bowed again, "Your Majesty, this palace maid was bribed to frame me. Please make the decision for me and restore my innocence."

After finishing his words, Feng Chengxuan said, "Father, I also think that Yan Niangniang's words are reasonable. There are too many flaws in what the palace maid said."

Feng Mingye looked at the palace maid in disgust, "Drag her down and pull out her tongue."

Eunuch Fu didn't hesitate and ordered people to drag him down.

Feng Chengxuan stopped her, but the palace maid was still lying in front of Feng Mingye. She must have put life and death at risk, and would never tell the truth no matter how tortured she was.

Zhao Yan, on the other hand, was smart and sharp. She didn't know what the Zhao family wanted to do by sending her to the palace.
The Zhao family has already given birth to a queen, is it possible that they want to give birth to a prince to preserve their status?
For a moment, Feng Chengxuan looked at Zhao Yan with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Concubine Yan, get up!"

Feng Mingye relented and spared Zhao Yan from kneeling down, "There is indeed doubt about this matter. I will definitely give you an explanation." Zhao Yan bowed Yingying, with a hint of grievance in her charm, which made people feel pity for her.

It's just that Feng Mingye didn't have the heart to feel sorry for her at the moment. If the imperial concubine didn't know about the miscarriage, and he had already lost the child before he had time to be happy that he had a child in old age, it made him heartbroken just thinking about it.

Zhao Yan knew what was going on, and after getting Feng Mingye's answer, he left the palace of Concubine Ru.

After Gu Linqiao confirmed that Ru Guifei was fine, he also left with Feng Yunsu.

For a time, Feng Mingye and Feng Chengxuan were the only two people left in the palace.

Feng Mingye was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Xuan'er, what do you think about this matter?"

"I don't doubt Yan Yan, but I doubt the Queen."

Feng Chengxuan stopped pretending now. It was about his mother, and he just wanted to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and cut her into pieces so that he could vent his anger on his mother and concubine and avenge his unborn younger brother and sister.

Zhao Yanzhong's words when questioning the palace maid seemed to have nothing to do with the murder of Concubine Ru, but after thinking about it, the words "Queen" seemed to be engraved in his mind.

As soon as Feng Mingye asked Feng Chengxuan, he almost immediately looked at the queen suspiciously.

This time, if Gu Linqiao had not been invited into the palace, and if the father had listened to the mother and concubine's carelessness, even the Daluo Immortal might not have been able to save him.

Once something happens to the mother-in-law, the father will definitely not be as rational as he is today and listen to Zhao Yan's excuse.

If he really thought Zhao Yan was the murderer, he would definitely kill Zhao Yan without hesitation.

Then...will the Zhao family be touched?

The general of the Zhao family is guarding the border, and Zhao Ying has made great achievements in battle, not to mention that the old and cunning Zhao Liquan has so many disciples...

Could it be that the queen regarded Zhao Yan as a scapegoat?
Because she was sure that even if her mother and concubine were killed, her father would not touch the Zhao family, so she used the Zhao family to protect herself and pushed Zhao Yan out to kill her mother and concubine... She thought that in this way, she and Feng Zhiqi would have a way out, and they would not Is someone blocking their way?
He could think of this, Feng Mingye could even think of this.

It is easy to move the queen, but it is not easy to uproot the Zhao family.

……

"Looking at the development of things, it seems that the Queen has always used methods. Except for the Zhao family, no one else would harm one of their own people like this."

On the carriage, Gu Linqiao sighed.

Feng Yun said solemnly, "Father will not disturb the queen with such things as a noble concubine, but he will not tolerate it either."

The crime of murdering the imperial concubine and the dragon fetus was too big for the queen to bear. The Zhao family could not move for the time being, but Feng Mingye would not hold back. This time, the queen had touched his bottom line.

Gu Linqiao thought for a while, his eyes suddenly brightened, "Why don't we give the Emperor a big gift!"

Feng Yunsu looked at her in confusion, "What kind of gift?"

Gu Linqiao said, "Let him be deposed, but he will not touch the Zhao family's gift."

Feng Yunsu frowned slightly, "I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Gu Linqiao said with a smile, "Start with the sixth prince. The sixth prince has lost his moral character and the queen is helping the emperor to do evil. Coupled with the emperor's anger, the queen will definitely be deposed, and the Zhao family will not dare to object."

Feng Yunsu also laughed, "So you have an idea!"

Gu Linqiao's eyes were full of cunning, "Not only does he have an idea, but he also has a person who can be used by me."

Feng Yunsu vaguely guessed who it was, but still pretended to be confused and asked, "Who is it?"

"You'll know then."
