"Noble Lady! Noble Lady, you can't jump! You mustn't jump! "
"Mistress! It's winter right now. Even though the surface of the lake hasn't frozen, it's extremely cold underwater. If you jump, something big will happen! "
The palace maids surrounding Noble Lady Li shouted loudly. Two little eunuchs pulled Noble Lady Li's arms with all their might to prevent her from falling. However, Noble Lady Li struggled very fiercely. The little eunuchs looked like they couldn't pull her anymore. The palace maids on the side were so anxious that they were crying.
Ren Xifeng rushed over at this time. The eunuch leading the way wiped his sweat, thinking that it was a good thing he made it in time. Noble Lady Li hadn't jumped yet! He said to Ren Xifeng, "Eldest Young Miss Ren, please take action and pull Noble Lady Li back! The lake water in this winter is not ordinary ice. If she comes into contact with water, she will fall seriously ill. "
Hearing someone speak from behind, the palace maids beside Noble Lady Li also turned around. Zuo recognized Ren Xifeng at a glance and was overjoyed. She quickly knelt down in front of Ren Xifeng and said, "I beg Eldest Young Miss Ren to help. I beg Eldest Young Miss Ren to save my mistress!"
However, Ren Xifeng only looked at Noble Lady Li a few times, but didn't have any intention of saving her. Instead, she crossed her arms in front of her and said nonchalantly, "What's there to save for someone who only wishes to die? If she wants to jump, then let her jump! It's good that she's dead. Once she's dead, everything will be over. "
These words stunned everyone. Even the little eunuch who led her over had his eyes wide open. This Eldest Young Miss Ren had clearly spoken well in front of His Highness the Sixth Prince. Why did she change her mind when she came here?
Zuo was also stunned on the spot, her face full of disbelief, "Ren … Eldest Young Miss Ren."
Ren Xifeng waved her hand and said again, "Have the two eunuchs who are blocking Noble Lady Li from entering the water withdraw! Since she wholeheartedly wishes to die, there's no need for others to stop her. Noble Lady Li believes that death is the best, so we can't let her continue to live and suffer. You servants don't know any better. How do you serve your masters on a daily basis? Isn't everything the mistress says? Shouldn't he listen to his master's words? Now that Master wants to jump into the lake, why do you still want to go against Master's will? "
"This …" The crowd didn't know how to respond. Some people even thought that Ren Baqian was crazy.
And at this time, Noble Lady Li who was making a fuss by the lakeside about wanting to jump down also stopped her actions. Turning her head to look at Ren Xifeng, her eyes revealed a fierce look: "Where did this crazy girl come from? What are you talking about? " Following these words, he turned around from the lakeside and no longer mentioned the matter of jumping into the lake. Instead, he pointed the spearhead at Ren Xifeng.
Ren Xifeng smiled and took a few steps forward. She bowed to Noble Lady Li and said, "This subject's daughter, Ren Xifeng, pays respect to Noble Lady Li."
"Ren Xifeng." Noble Lady Li snorted coldly and said, "The first daughter of General Ping Nan's family, do you think that with your father's support, you can speak to me with such an attitude? Let me tell you, this is the imperial palace and not your Ping Nan General's Office. Don't look down on me just because I'm a lowly noble. My son is the current Regent Prince. His status is different from other princes. You should consider carefully in your heart. You should know what you should say and what you shouldn't say! "
Ren Xifeng nodded, "Noble Lady is right, this subject's daughter understands this very well!" She kept her bow and stood up, looking up at Noble Lady Li. There was no respect on her face, only saying: "But, so what? Noble Lady has caused trouble time and time again. Now, all the civil and military officials in court know that the Sixth Prince has a birth mother who seeks death at the slightest provocation. And his birth mother is the sister of that Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui from back then. She was even involved in the incident of plotting to murder the Emperor. Oh right, just now, His Highness the Sixth Prince was discussing matters with the officials in Heavenly Hall. Before the officials left, the news of you wanting to jump into the lake was spread. Right now, there is not a single person in court that is not questioning whether or not His Highness the sixth prince will be able to properly govern Da Shun with a birth mother like you present. With you causing a ruckus in the imperial harem every day and dividing His Highness the sixth prince's attention, will His Highness the sixth prince be able to carry the heavy responsibility of regent. Noble Lady Li oh Noble Lady Li, do you still think that a mother will rise in status because of her son? Then let me tell you, your son is going to decline because of you. "
"What?" Ren Xifeng's words were undoubtedly a bucket of cold water poured over her. Xuan Tianfeng had also said the same thing before, but he did not say it so directly. Xuan Tianfeng mostly advised her to stop causing trouble, asking her to think about the outcome of Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui and the Eighth Prince. But today, Ren Xifeng said it openly, letting her know that her death-seeking actions had already caused a bad reaction in court. But Noble Lady Li did not believe it, she said loudly: "My son is the regent prince, the future Emperor, who dares to doubt him?"
Once the words "future Emperor" came out, Zuo was so frightened that she wanted to pounce forward and cover her mouth, but what was the use? She had already said it, she could only remind softly and helplessly: "This is the Young Miss of the General's manor, Master saying this in front of her is the same as saying it in court!"
Ren Xifeng's ears were sharp, Zuo's words landed in her ears. She smiled, adding: "Aren't you trying to take His Highness the Sixth Prince's life!"
Noble Lady Li's body shook, also realising that she had misspoken, instinctively covering her mouth. But Ren Xifeng continued speaking, she said: "Isn't Noble Lady Li going to jump into the lake? Then jump quickly! In the middle of winter, even if you don't drown to death, you will fall seriously ill, you might even die from illness in the end. If you die, His Highness the Sixth Prince will be at peace, it will also prevent him from being criticized because of you. "
"You … …" Noble Lady Li trembled in anger, but trembling was just trembling, she no longer had the intention to jump into the lake, she even took two steps forward, getting further and further away from the surface of the lake.
The servants heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did they understand that Ren family's Eldest Young Miss didn't really want Noble Lady Li to die. She was using this method to agitate Noble Lady Li to continue living well. At the same time, she was also letting Noble Lady Li clearly understand the influence her actions had on His Highness Sixth Prince.
As expected, dispelling the idea of jumping into the lake, Noble Lady Li asked Ren Xifeng anxiously: "Is what you said true? Is Feng really being criticized by the officials because of me? "
Ren Xifeng nodded: "Someone has already sent a memorial to the Emperor, saying that the Sixth Prince's birth mother is not willing to divide her energy, to prevent the incident of Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui encouraging the Eighth Prince to shake the country from happening again, requesting the Emperor to remove the Sixth Prince from the position of regent. This matter, the Emperor is currently considering it! After all, the Xuan family has so many sons, all of them are very outstanding, Noble Lady Li, don't you think so? "
"That's not right!" Noble Lady Li blurted out: "Only my Feng is the most suitable, only my Feng is fit to sit in that position!"
"But so what if His Highness the Sixth Prince is suitable? You are not cooperating! "
"I will cooperate! Of course I will cooperate! " Noble Lady Li expressed her stance in a fluster, "Go and tell those officials, I will not cause trouble anymore, will not leave Jing Si Palace anymore, and will not be a burden to Feng anymore. Let him manage the court properly, attend court properly and read the memorials properly, don't worry, I will keep my word, I will really not cause trouble anymore. Go and tell those officials, quickly go and tell them! "
She was anxious and reached out to push Ren Xifeng, but how could Ren Xifeng be pushed by her, she told Noble Lady Li: "I am just a little girl, how can I have the right to speak to the officials, moreover, this matter is not something that people will believe even if we say it. Whether you really will not cause trouble anymore, whether you really wholeheartedly assist His Highness the Sixth Prince and focus on the court, this matter needs to be seen by everyone with their own eyes, and Noble Lady Li has to be able to do it for others to see. Dashun is a country ruled by law, it is reasonable, if you truly change for the better, the officials will not make things difficult for His Highness the Sixth Prince anymore. But if you are just saying it, or if you are holding back your energy and waiting for an opportunity to act in the future, then I advise you to give up. No one is a fool, those people who can stand out from the crowd and enter the court to become officials are all shrewd people, who can't see through your little scheme? Noble Lady Li, do you want His Highness the Sixth Prince to be well, or do you want His Highness the Sixth Prince to fall from his high position, think carefully. "
"There is no need to think!" Noble Lady Li hurriedly continued the conversation, continuing to express her stance: "Of course I want Feng to be well, I will return to Jing Si Palace now, I will never come out again, and I will not cause trouble again. Don't worry, I really want to change, as long as Feng is well, I will do whatever he wants me to do! Zuo – "She pulled the maid beside her," Let's go, let's go back quickly, no one is allowed to speak of what happened today, in the future, we will live well in Jing Si Palace and never come out again. "
Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, nodded gratefully at Ren Xifeng, and then happily supported Noble Lady Li as they walked in the direction of Jing Si Palace. The servants also bowed to Ren Xifeng, and then hurriedly returned.
Ren Xifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the young eunuch who was leading the way: "Was I too harsh with my words? She is a concubine in the palace, after all, she is His Highness the Sixth Prince's birth mother! I don't know if His Highness the Sixth Prince will blame me after he learns of what happened today. "As she spoke, she subconsciously pinched the waist token Xuan Tianfeng gave her, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
The young eunuch was very understanding, he said to Ren Xifeng: "Eldest Miss Ren has given a lot of thought, we servants have all seen it! If it weren't for your persuasion, Noble Lady Li would have jumped down today. If she had jumped down, the impact on His Highness the Sixth Prince would be too great, just like you said, I'm afraid that the officials in the imperial court wouldn't let go of this matter, and His Highness the Sixth Prince's position as regent would no longer be peaceful. Don't worry, this servant knows how to tell His Highness the Sixth Prince about what happened today. "
Ren Xifeng nodded, and didn't say anything more about this matter, only saying: "Send me out of the palace!"
At this time, the Sixth Prince, Xuan Tianfeng, was already sitting in the imperial carriage, shuttling through the streets of the capital. He had originally arrived at the Imperial Palace Yu first, but when he learned that Feng Yu Heng had gone out to look for someone, he didn't even enter the door, and directly went to the streets to look for her. But with how big the capital was, how could he find her in such a short period of time?
Feng Yu Heng's mind wasn't very good today, she was a bit absent-minded, thinking about things in her heart. One moment, she thought about what Yao Xian said, as long as she refused to admit it, it would be fine. The next moment, she thought about what she originally thought, regardless of whether she admitted it or not. Once the people had this knot in their hearts, it would be hard to let it go. There would be a day when she would be exposed by someone, and then she would be treated as a demon by the people of the world.
She didn't let anyone follow her, but whenever she found a hidden guard secretly protecting her, she would loudly shout at them to leave. She would only feel safe when everyone had left. Looking at the people coming and going on the streets, Feng Yu Heng always felt very afraid. She feared that there would come a day when her secret would be known by everyone. It was such that when she saw a few citizens huddled together and quietly chatting, she began to wonder if Bu Cong had already spread her secret.
She couldn't let people talk about it behind her back, she couldn't let people spread it by word of mouth, she was afraid that the news would spread even further. As a result, she rushed forward, and indiscriminately scattered those people, one of them even being injured by her whip.
The people were greatly alarmed and scattered in all directions. Some of them ran close to Xuan Tianfeng's imperial carriage. As a result, Xuan Tianfeng heard people say in horror: "Royal Consort Yu has gone crazy!"
