At this moment, the weak scholar was holding a book and reading it seriously, but when he heard the page boy beside him say this, a glint flashed in his eyes, that weak scholarly aura immediately disappeared, and what replaced it was a sinister and sinister aura.
"Is it useless?" The scholar snorted coldly, "Forget it, it's just a few birds that stuck their heads out, not much use. Mister Duan Mu said, if we can stir up internal strife in Dashun, then do it, if we can't, then we won't lose much. "
"But I heard that in the court, they already said the things that we wanted to say through their mouths." The page boy bowed and said, "Since they already raised their suspicions towards the Eighth Prince, then can we continue with our plan?"
"Of course." The scholar laughed sinisterly, "Go, spread this news, say that the Eighth Prince that Dashun hurriedly buried back then was a corpse without a face. And in reality, that was not the Eighth Prince at all, it was just a corpse that was obtained from who knows where. Go spread it! We want Dashun to be in chaos, we want the people to be uneasy, the more chaotic it is, the happier I will be! " As this person spoke, he reached out and wiped his face, a mask as thin as a cicada's wing fell off from his face. It was the Third Prince of Zong Sui who infiltrated Dashun's capital after Bu Cong, Li Guang.
In a small courtyard in the capital, Dong Ying pulled Xiao Bao back from outside, carrying many things in her hands. Xiao Bao was very happy, as he walked, he shouted towards Feng Fendai in the courtyard: "Big Sister, Big Sister Dong Ying and I bought your favourite date cake, Xiao Bao kept it in my arms and brought it back, it is still warm! Big Sister, eat it quickly. "
The child ran in front of Fendai, taking out a bag of date cakes from his arms like he was presenting a treasure, handing it over to Fendai. There was oil on the cake, soaking the oil paper bag and staining Fendai's clothes. She frowned habitually and was about to scold Xiao Bao when Dong Ying saw this and quickly said: "Young Miss, Young Master was afraid that the date cake would not taste good when it is cold, so he kept it in his arms the entire way, he is very attentive! Young Miss, please have a taste. Young Master has good intentions. "
The scolding that Fen Dai had wanted to say was held back. Looking at the pastry that had become slightly deformed in her lap, she could not describe the feeling in her heart. She still didn't treat Xiao Bao very well. She would hit him from time to time and scold him three times a day. But for some reason, this child did not hold a grudge at all. No matter how she hit or scolded him, he would be scared at the time, but not long after, he would throw himself in front of her and sweetly call her sister. He would also always send her the most delicious and fun things that he thought were best.
Dong Ying had once told her that this was kinship. No matter what, they were connected by blood. But Feng Fen Dai did not believe it. What blood ties? Which of the children of the Feng family did not have blood ties with her? But what was the point? They were still scheming against each other's life and death. Until today, those who were still alive basically did not have any contact with each other. But after thinking a bit, if this child was originally Feng Jin Yuan's child, then he really was close to her! One father and one mother, they were much closer than those older sisters and younger sisters in the Feng family. Unfortunately, if this child was not Feng Jin Yuan's child, she could still treat him better. If he was really Feng Jin Yuan's child, she was so disgusted that she wished she could strangle him to death.
Feng Fen Dai always had some thoughts in her heart. Xiao Bao just stared at her in a daze. Seeing the fierce expression on her face, he could not help but take two steps back. He knew that this was the sign that his sister was going to get angry. He had to avoid it as much as possible to avoid being hit again.
Dong Ying protected Xiao Bao and said to him softly: "Young Master, return to the courtyard first. This servant will help you pass this pastry to Young Miss."
"What are you hiding for? Just sit here! " Feng Fen Dai regained her senses. Hearing Dong Ying's words, she could not help but shake her head. She kicked a small stool beside her feet forward, "Xiao Bao, sit down."
Xiao Bao sat down obediently. He was like this. Even if he knew that his sister might hit him, he was willing to sit beside his sister. Because this was his only family in the world. He always thought that his sister only hit and scolded him because she was in a bad mood. When she was in a good mood, she treated him quite well. He could not leave his sister. Even if he was beaten to death, this was still his sister!
His small hand reached towards Fen Dai again, holding a piece of date cake in his hand: "Sister, eat."
Feng Fen Dai received the pastry and reached out to rub Xiao Bao's head. This action made Xiao Bao very happy, smiling sweetly.
Fen Dai's heart was a little sour. She asked Dong Ying: "I heard that Royal Consort Yu left the capital. Do you know where she went?"
Dong Ying said: "I heard the people outside say that she went to Winter Jie. Many citizens are spreading the news! They say that Prince Yu and Royal Consort Yu have a deep relationship. Even if they go to the battlefield, the two must go together. "
Fen Dai shrugged. Deep relationship! It was really deep! In life, they lived together. In death, they died together. But why could she not wait for such a person?
Dong Ying had been by her side for too long. She only needed to look at Feng Fen Dai's expression to know what she was thinking. At this moment, she could not help but sigh: "Actually, there are people who are willing to live and die together with Young Miss."
"Are you talking about Xuan Tianyan? He is a prince. Why would he live and die together with me? " Feng Fen Dai ate the date cake. When Xuan Tianyan was mentioned, there was no change in her expression. But a layer of gloominess flashed past her heart. It was light and did not leave a trace.
"I heard that the secondary princess in His Highness the Fifth Prince's manor is very favoured. He even brought a few bedwarmers into the manor. Young Miss, you … … don't have any plans?" She originally wanted to ask Fen Dai. Was she not angry or jealous? But seeing Fen Dai's expression, she knew that this Young Miss' heart was too hard. It was so hard that she did not even know how to be jealous. She only loved herself. It was never His Highness the Fifth Prince.
"No." Feng Fen Dai said coldly: "Even if there are plans, those plans will not involve Xuan Tianyan. Between him and me, there is no longer any relationship. In the future, don't bring up his matters again! "She gave Xiao Bao a mouthful of water, reminding him:" Eat slower, be careful not to choke. "
She suddenly recalled many years ago, when the Fifth Prince brought up the engagement with her, she went shopping with Han Shi who was still alive at that time and met a secondary princess from Li Palace. At that time, she was extremely angry. But why was it that she was not angry at all now? Because she did not have any feelings? That was not right. She had never loved Xuan Tianyan that much. What she wanted was just the title of official princess of a prince. Thinking about it, the reason why she was no longer angry should be because her state of mind was different! Now, she did not have that competitive and vain heart from before. Whether or not she was the official princess of a prince was not that important anymore. No matter how hard she worked, she could not compare to Feng Yu Heng. Even if she used all her strength, she would still be suppressed by her in the end. Since this was fated, why should she fight for it?
Without the heart to fight for it, she also lost the strength to be jealous. Whether or not Li Palace had other women, to her, it no longer had any meaning.
She retracted her thoughts and did not think about those matters of the past. But hearing that there seemed to be a commotion on the streets outside, she instructed Dong Ying: "Go out and take a look, what are the people arguing about?"
Dong Ying followed her instructions and went out to ask around. When she returned after a while, there was a slightly serious expression on her face. She told Fen Dai: "Young Miss, When This Servant brought Young Master out to buy snacks just now, This Servant heard something. It was said that there were people in the court who raised doubts about the Eighth Prince's death. The reason was that when the Eighth Prince was buried, his entire face was disfigured and it was impossible to tell who the corpse was. This Servant did not think much of it at first, but I did not think that the news would spread so quickly. Now, the people outside are actually discussing it. Not only that, This Servant heard that there were even people who went to the government office to beat drums to complain, saying that their family's newly buried grave was dug up overnight. At first, they thought it was dug up by wild animals, but once the news of the Eighth Prince spread, they suspected that the fake Eighth Prince was the person in their family's new grave and requested to open the coffin for an autopsy! "
"What?" Fen Dai was extremely shocked, "There was actually such a thing?" She thought about it again and felt that the matter was a little absurd, "It can't be fake! That matter was handled by His Highness the Seventh Prince. How could a person like His Highness the Seventh Prince lie. I'm afraid that someone is deliberately using the Eighth Prince's death to make an issue out of it! " She told Dong Ying: "Go chase away the people who are making a racket in front of our door, I don't like listening to their chatter."
She stood up and returned to her room, but she felt very upset. The matter of the Eighth Prince was brought up again. There would definitely be someone who would fall into this trap. This time, who would it be? There was a faint worry in her heart.
The Ministry of Justice's Xu Jingyuan personally handled this matter. The people who beat the drums were brought to the Ministry of Justice's court. It was a couple who were close to fifty years old. Once they arrived at the court, they started to cry bitterly, saying that their son died of lung disease a few months ago and they personally buried their son. Because their family was too poor and did not have the money to buy a coffin, they used a mat to wrap it up and buried it shallowly at the foot of the mountain in the suburbs of the capital. But not long after, they found that the grave had been dug up and the body inside had disappeared. They thought that it was taken away by wild animals and even cried loudly. But today, when they heard about the Eighth Prince's burial, they felt that it was strange. Because the time was about the same, it was the day after their son's body was found missing and the faceless Eighth Prince was buried. This made them suspicious.
When the people outside the court heard this complaint, they all began to discuss the authenticity of the Eighth Prince's death. There were even people who boldly guessed that it was possible that the Eighth Prince was not dead. The imperial family was just using a faceless fake corpse to deceive the public. The Eighth Prince was definitely still alive.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion. Even if Xu Jingyuan angrily struck the gavel, he could not stop the citizens from making many guesses. The Eighth Prince, who had not been mentioned for a long time, had once again returned to the topic of discussion. Xu Jingyuan felt that this matter might be a little out of control. There was definitely someone controlling the situation from behind the scenes. But the person controlling it, who exactly was it?
… …
Along the way, the Seventh Prince, Xuan Tianhua, led an army of five hundred thousand, finally passed through Fu Zhou on this night. They circled around and arrived ten li away from Bin City's southern gate.
Under the cover of the night, he ordered the army to set up camp. Just as the commander's tent was set up and there was no time to set up the interior, a soldier trotted over and saluted, saying: "Your Highness the Seventh Prince, there is a girl outside requesting an audience!"
