Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 729 Tell the truth (2 more)
The speaker is a woman.

Hearing this, the Imperial Forest Army who were still crowded at the entrance of the Yizheng Hall just now stepped aside one after another.

Baiguan poked his head and saw a delicate figure standing in front of the steps from a distance. She was dressed plainly, but she couldn't hold back her beautiful face. There was a chill between her brows and eyes, and she couldn't allow anyone to get close.

Someone recognized it with sharp eyes, "It's the eldest princess, the eldest princess is back!"

"What the eldest princess, she has been deprived of her title and demoted to a commoner long ago, what is she doing here?"

Concubine Duan's face froze, Zhao Xunyin?At this moment, shouldn't she stay in Ningzhou?Why did it appear in the capital?
The development of things seems to be getting more and more out of control.

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Concubine Duan stepped out of the threshold and walked down the stone steps step by step, with a smile on her face, "It turned out to be Fanghua, when did you come back, and you didn't tell the palace earlier."

"I wrote a letter to my brother." Fanghua said, "Unfortunately, he didn't receive it."

"How could it be?" Concubine Duan said sincerely, "Ningzhou is far away from the capital city, presumably because of heavy snow blocking the mountain road and making it difficult to walk, the post station was delayed."

"Don't you ask, why did I write a letter to my brother, and what was written in the letter?"

Concubine Duan expressed her understanding, "Fanghua has been away from Beijing for so many years, and it is understandable to miss my brother. How can I ask about the letter you wrote to the emperor?"

Fanghua looked at Concubine Duan for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Brother once gave me something and said that no one would dare to bully me when I was in trouble. I wrote to him to ask him, My poor nephew was bullied, if I took that thing out at this time, would it still count?"

Concubine Duan's eyelids twitched, "Who is the nephew Fanghua mentioned?"

"Of course, it's the poor little Zhao Xi who was wronged and banned." Fanghua said while taking out a Nine Dragon Pendant from her bosom, "Miss Duan Concubine is well-informed, I wonder if you recognize this?"

Concubine Duan looked down, her knees softened and she knelt on the ground.

The Nine Dragons are the symbol of the emperor, and the Nine Dragons Pendant is the personal jade pendant of Emperor Guangxi. Fanghua gave it to her privately when she left Beijing. There is only one piece like this in the entire Chu Kingdom. Seeing the Nine Dragons Pendant is like seeing the emperor, and everyone knows it.

All the ministers in the political hall also saw clearly what Fanghua was holding, and in the blink of an eye they knelt down on the ground, shouting long live.

Fanghua climbed up the stairs, stood outside the gate of the Palace of Political Affairs, looked at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground inside, finally fixed his eyes on Yang Shoufu, and smiled, "I have been away from Beijing for many years, I don't know that the Yang family hides their power and bide their time. Already brave enough to dare to force the palace to rebel. Confine the crown prince, besiege hundreds of officials, steal seals, forge imperial edicts, and exterminate nine clans. Yang Shoufu has done it all, and it really does not disappoint."

Yang Shoufu looked up at her with cold eyes, "The eldest princess has long been expelled from the royal family. It stands to reason that you should not appear in the capital, let alone in the palace."

"You're right, Zhao Xunyin has been expelled." Fanghua walked up to Yang Shoufu and raised the Nine Dragons Wear in his hand, "But I just lost the title of princess, I'm still me, the younger sister of the current emperor , Look, didn’t I come here unimpeded? You just happened to bump into Yang Shoufu singing a big show in the Yizheng Hall, which disturbed your pleasure, you won’t blame me, would you?”

Yang Shoufu's old face was extremely ugly, but he had no choice but to surrender to the Nine Dragon Wear in Fanghua's hands, "Old minister...don't dare!"

Fanghua put the Jiulong Pei into her arms, bent down, and took off Yang Shoufu's black gauze hat with her own hands, then smiled politely, "Since you dare not, then Mr. Yang, please."

Yang Shoufu was full of unwillingness and knelt still.

Fanghua ordered the Imperial Forest Army guarding outside, "Send Mr. Yang to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it's cold, remember to add a thicker quilt for him."

Those words send chills down the spine.

Fanghua glanced at everyone, "I listened outside for a long time just now, and it seems that Mr. Yang still has many supporters, so now I will give you a chance to intercede."

The hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and everyone held their breath.

This is no longer the reclusive and indifferent eldest princess back then, but now she is a beautiful and poisonous snake. At this moment, whoever dares to speak a word will be beheaded immediately to worship the heavens.

After waiting for a long time, no one made a sound, Fanghua sighed softly, "It's a pity, Mr. Yang has been an official in the court for decades, with a high position and power, I don't want to fall down and no one cares about him, what a bleak evening scene."

Yang Xiong'an's official robes had been taken off, and he was only wearing a white jacket at this time. He was detained outside the door, his lips were purple from the cold.

After listening to Fanghua's words, he straightened his back as much as possible, "Winners and losers, today's plan is not successful, it's because I didn't think carefully and didn't take you and your husband into consideration. Since it fell into your hands, you can kill or cut it up as you like." .”

"Backbone!" Fanghua praised: "Mr. Yang really deserves to be the clear stream among literati, just for your unyielding arrogance, I will let them arrange a better cell for you, so that no outsiders will disturb you clean."

After Yang Xiong'an was taken away, the ministers were pardoned and stood up.

Concubine Duan was kneeling in the snow under the stone steps before, but when she looked up, she saw Fanghua standing beside the railing.

No matter how plain her clothes were, this woman seemed to be radiant no matter where she went, and her favorite concubine in the harem seemed eclipsed in front of her.

"Fanghua, this matter has nothing to do with me, I was implicated."

In order to save herself and her young son, Concubine Duan could only say so.

When Fanghua heard the words, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "I also think you are innocent."

Just as Concubine Duan breathed a sigh of relief, she heard her say again: "As for what elder brother thinks and how to deal with you, that is his own business."

Concubine Duan choked.

"Temporary grounding!" Fanghua said, "I don't want to see you again until my brother makes a decree."

Concubine Duan bent her knees, "Yes."

……

After the courtiers dispersed, Fanghua called Song Wei, and the two went to Qianqing Palace together.

After leaving the group of people, Fanghua showed worry on his face, "How is the situation of the Holy One?"

Song Wei shook his head, "I haven't seen him since I came back from the paddock."

Fanghua asked again: "Then in the paddock, how was the injury?"

Song Wei said truthfully: "The injury was a bit serious, but luckily it wasn't an assassination, and the tip of the arrow was not poisonous. It stands to reason that there are so many doctors in the Tai Hospital, so he should have recovered long ago."

"So, brother is pretending to be sick?"

"That possibility is not ruled out."

When the two came to Qianqing Palace, they saw Eunuch Cui wiping away tears secretly.

Fanghua was shocked, "What happened?"

Eunuch Cui choked with sobs, "Eldest Princess, go in and see Your Majesty!"

Fanghua's heartbeat was stagnant, as if she was afraid of seeing something unexpected when she went in, she suddenly slowed down and entered slowly step by step.

When I arrived at the inner hall, I saw Emperor Guangxi lying on the dragon couch weakly, with a thin face, weak breath, and half-opened eyes. When he saw her, he opened them completely, but he seemed to have no energy at all.

Fanghua's eyes turned hot, "Brother, this is..."

Eunuch Cui followed in, crying into tears, "Eldest Princess, Your Majesty has been waiting for you and Prince Consort for a long time."

Fanghua fell to her knees with a plop, "Fanghua's rescue came late, and my brother suffered."

It took Emperor Guangxi a while to squeeze out his voice, "Fanghua, why are you here alone?"

Fanghua said: "The second master took people to the clan mansion to pick up the prince, and he will be here soon."

"It's good if you come." Emperor Guangxi nodded in relief.

Zhao Xi's letter to Ningzhou stated that Emperor Guangxi had been complaining of illness since he came back from the paddock. Fanghua thought that his elder brother was acting in order to reveal the true nature of the Yang family, but now that he saw the real person, he found out that he was the same as him. It's different from what I imagined, my brother seems to be... really sick.

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, she turned her head and stared at Eunuch Cui, "You're already sick like this, why don't you invite the imperial physician to see you?"

Eunuch Cui cried and said: "If it can be cured, it should have been cured long ago. Why did it end up like this?"

Fanghua had too many questions in her mind, she frowned, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Eunuch Cui subconsciously glanced at Emperor Guangxi.

Emperor Guangxi nodded feebly.

Eunuch Cui invited Song Wei and Fanghua to sit down, and then he began to talk, "This matter starts with a military newspaper on the northern border."

"Northern Army News?"

"Yes." Eunuch Cui nodded, "At the beginning of the crusade against Xishan, a few fish slipped through the net, and then the Holy Majesty sent someone to look for them, but they couldn't find them after searching for a long time. I never thought that those people escaped to Beiyan. It turns out , There was a princess in Xishan who once married Beiyan, she is now the imperial concubine of Beiyan, her family and country were destroyed, this imperial concubine persuaded the monarch of Beiyan to gather an army to attack Chu.

However, the Holy Majesty was found to have heart failure by the imperial physician at that time, and he was already powerless for the war, so he planned to pass the throne to His Highness the Crown Prince before the war, so he organized a royal hunt to fulfill his last wish. "

"Wish, what wish?"
