Upon hearing that Kang Yi was going to give him some advice, Feng Jin Yuan's mind was roused, as he quickly said: "What is it? Quickly speak! "
Kang Yi said: "Being passive is better than being proactive. Since things have already become like this, there is no way to escape. It would be better for husband to take the initiative and ask for forgiveness from the Emperor. Perhaps there will be a chance for a reversal."
Take the initiative to ask for forgiveness?
The members of the Feng family were startled, as the matriarch asked with uncertainty: "Will there really be a chance for a reversal?"
Kang Yi replied with a question: "Otherwise, what else can there be? Could it be that it really will be as fourth young miss said, with everyone running away? "
An shi agreed with Kang Yi's words, thus she also said: "All of the lands under the heavens belong to the Emperor. Where can we run to? Rather than waiting at home for an imperial decree, it would be better to take the initiative to ask for forgiveness. "
The matriarch currently hated hearing An shi speak the most. She could not help but snort coldly: "Shut your mouth! You mother and daughter pair can't even keep an eye on a servant. She has been working with the third prince for so long, yet you actually did not notice at all. You even went to deliver pastries to Yao shi? You are an accomplice! Just wait and see. If Heng Zheng is able to return alive, she will definitely come to settle this debt with you! "
An shi had already prepared herself for this, as she said: "No matter what, this concubine cannot escape responsibility for this matter. When the time comes, I will just listen to second young miss' punishment. Even if this concubine's life is taken, this concubine will not complain. "
"Hmph!" Fen Dai snorted coldly, "You say it so lightly. I really do not understand why you would send pastries to a divorced woman for no reason. That Yao shi caused father to suffer such humiliation. We should be enemies. Concubine mother An, what sort of heart do you have? "
Fen Dai's words represented the matriarch's thoughts. Feng Jin Yuan also thought this way, thus for a while, nobody in the room spoke. An shi also did not defend herself. After all, this matter had become like this. She knew that the Feng family would not forgive her so easily.
At this time, Xiang Rong, who had not spoken the entire time, suddenly asked: "Why is second sister still not saying anything? Where did she go? "
Feng Jinyuan was stunned then immediately recalled that when they left, Feng Yu Heng was with the seventh prince, thus he said: "They should have gone to the Chun Palace, right?"
Just as he finished speaking, one of the attendants that he had sent to the imperial palace returned. Quickly entering the hall, he said to Feng Jin Yuan: "Master, there is news of the second young miss."
"Oh?" Everyone asked in unison, "How is Second Miss?"
The attendant replied, "Second Miss has entered the palace and is currently kneeling in front of Heavenly Hall's plaza. However, the Emperor has yet to summon her."
Once these words were said, everyone in the Feng manor was stunned. Kang Yi was the first to react, anxiously urging Feng Jin Yuan: "Even Heng Heng was able to think of this method. What is husband hesitating for? Go quickly! "
The matriarch also urged him: "Kang Yi is right. You should hurry up. When you see the emperor, you must have a good attitude when apologizing!"
Feng Jin Yuan nodded and did not say anything else. Bringing the servant along, he walked out of the manor.
The matriarch asked Kang Yi with a face full of worry: "Say, will it be of any use?"
Kang Yi's heart was uncertain because she had grasped the most important part of what the attendant had just said. The Emperor has yet to summon her.
It had to be said that Feng Yu Heng's position in Dashun was something that she was not too clear on when she had just arrived. Now, however, she was able to understand 80-90% of it. The only person that knew how to produce steel was kneeling in front of Heavenly Hall, yet the Emperor did not even meet her. It could be seen that the Emperor was truly angry over the battle between Feng Yu Heng and the third prince.
Seeing Kang Yi furrow her brow tightly, the matriarch also felt uncertain. She could not help but turn her gaze to the Cheng sisters.
Cheng Jun Man understood the matriarch's meaning and took the initiative to say: "This concubine has already sent someone into the palace to see aunty. They will be a little slower than husband's attendants. Elder madam, do not rush."
Upon hearing Cheng Jun Man say that she had already sent someone to see the Empress, the matriarch finally calmed down a little. Thinking a little more, she ordered a servant: "Go to the temple and let the eldest young miss out! With such a large matter happening in the family, there is no need to investigate her small mistake. "
Upon hearing this, Fen Dai was on the verge of exploding. The servant to her side, Li Luo, grabbed her wrist and slightly shook her head, indicating that she needed to calm down. But how could Fen Dai be willing. Ignoring Li Luo's objections, she said: "Grandmother, granddaughter should bring concubine mother Han out to hide! The trouble caused by second sister has not yet been dealt with, yet you let eldest sister out. What if she tries to harm concubine mother again? "
The matriarch angrily scolded: "Go, go, go! Where are you going? Han shi is pregnant with the Feng family's child. Even if she dies, she must die in the Feng manor! "
Kang Yi also said: "Fourth young miss, you must think carefully. If you want to leave now, it will be easy, but if you want to come back later, it will be difficult."
"What do you mean?" Fen Dai glared at Kang Yi: "Are you threatening me?"
Kang Yi shook her head, "I am not threatening you. I am just hoping that fourth young miss can share the Feng family's joys and sorrows. You are the Feng family's daughter. Even if you ran, where could you run to? "
Fen Dai was rendered speechless. Staring at Kang Yi for a long time, she unwillingly said: "If I won't run, then I won't run. But when the time comes for the Feng family to lose its roots, nobody should complain!"
When Feng Jin Yuan arrived at the palace's entrance, the sky was already dark, but the palace's gate was not locked. Upon seeing him arrive, a eunuch immediately ran forward and saluted, saying: "Zhang Yuan, eunuch Zhang said that Prime minister Feng would definitely come tonight and had this servant wait here for my lord. Who knew that Prime minister Feng really did come."
Feng Jin Yuan trembled: "Eunuch Zhang knew that this prime minister would be coming? Speaking like that, his Majesty also knew? "
"Oh!" The eunuch said: "This servant does not dare speak nonsense. Indeed, eunuch Zhang had this servant wait here for my lord. As for whether or not his Majesty knew, forgive this servant for not daring to say. Lord Feng, please. "As he spoke, he gestured for him to enter, leading Feng Jin Yuan into the palace.
Just as Feng Jin Yuan stepped into the palace, he turned around and found that the guards had already closed the palace's gate. They had even locked it. He was shocked and knew that he most likely would not be able to return for the night.
Outside the palace, the people that had come with the Feng manor saw this situation and quickly returned to report. As for Feng Jin Yuan's side, under the guidance of the eunuch, he arrived at the square in front of Heavenly Hall.
He immediately saw Feng Yu Heng kneeling there. Calculating the time, that girl should have been kneeling for a long time, but she did not appear to be tired. She just continued to kneel there leisurely. Who knew what she was thinking.
Taking a couple steps closer, he finally saw Feng Yu Heng's expression. Feng Jin Yuan was even more puzzled.
What was this girl doing? Chanting scriptures?
He saw Feng Yu Heng slightly close her eyes, and her lips moved slightly. It was as though she was chanting something; however, there was not a single sound. The expression on her face was naturally carefree. It did not look like she was being punished to kneel. But she was indeed kneeling, as the eunuch said: "County princess Ji An arrived at five in the afternoon and has been kneeling here the entire time. Prime minister Feng is …"
"This prime minister is also kneeling." What else could Feng Jin Yuan say? Straightening his robe, he simply kneeled at Feng Yu Heng's side.
The eunuch glanced at him but did not say anything else. Turning around, he left. It was Feng Yu Heng that opened her eyes and asked: "Father only arrived now? I thought that you should have come much earlier! You really are magnanimous. "
"You" Feng Jin Yuan was furious. He really wanted to loudly scold her, but this was the palace. How could he be allowed to cause a ruckus. He could only suppress the anger in his heart. Gritting his teeth, he quietly said: "Isn't it all because of you!"
"Me?" Feng Yu Heng's eyes became fierce, "What did father just say? Daughter did not hear clearly. Say it again. "
"I said that it was all because of you!" Feng Jin Yuan had an urge to strangle this daughter of his to death.
But Feng Yu Heng did not think this was the case!
She was very serious, as she said to Feng Jin Yuan one word at a time: "Listen well. Xuan Tian Ye harmed my mother, and I have only partially avenged him. For each day that he does not die, I will not finish avenging him. Also, I will remember all of the people that helped the evildoers! Who was it that formed a clique, who was it that secretly supported them, who was it that sent money to the Xiang Palace, and who was it that secretly helped Qian Zhou's divine archery team get customs documents. All of these, I will have them on my tab. Don't think that daughter can be fooled just because she is young. Father, if you want to play dirty, you can't beat me. "
Feng Jin Yuan's legs trembled. Unable to kneel, he fell to the ground.
Feng Yu Heng, however, pulled him up in a timely manner, "Since you have come to ask for forgiveness, just properly kneel. What is the meaning of sitting here?"
Feng Jin Yuan quickly straightened his knees. The cold brick floor caused his knees to hurt.
"Kneel!" Feng Yu Heng let go and faintly said: "You need to prepare yourself to kneel here for a night. Oh, that's not right. I will be able to return tomorrow morning, but you might not necessarily kneel for even longer."
Feng Jin Yuan was puzzled, "How do you know that you will definitely be able to return tomorrow morning?"
Feng Yu Heng giggled a couple times: "Because Xuan Tianming will return tomorrow morning! Hah, how many years has it been since father knelt like this? It's very shameful, right? Your knees hurt a lot, right? Bear with it. Who told you to commit such a sin? "
Her words were practically spoken openly. Feng Jin Yuan was extremely angry; however, he had no way of refuting it. He finally understood that none of the things that had happened could be hidden from Feng Yu Heng. Those shady business that he thought he had done cleanly were now being used against him. What else could he say? Deny it? He did not believe that Feng Yu Heng would believe him.
Feng Jin Yuan slowly closed his eyes and no longer spoke with Feng Yu Heng; however, his thoughts began to churn wildly. He had thought of getting rid of Feng Yu Heng more than once, but in the end, it was just borrowing someone else's hand. It was just that when the Chen family and Feng Chen Yu took action, he pretended to be confused and did not stop them.
But this time, Feng Jin Yuan truly wanted to personally get rid of this daughter.
Feng Yu Heng could not be kept. This was a thought that surged through his mind time and time again. This time, he was even more resolute!
Inside Heavenly Hall, the generals had left the palace long ago. Only Emperor Tian Wu remained in the main hall. He casually read reports; however, he was a little absent-minded.
Zhang Yuan brought him a new cup of tea then quietly said: "Your Majesty, Prime minister Feng finally came. He is kneeling outside with county princess."
Tian Wu coldly snorted, "Only coming when it's dark. He really is considerate."
Zhang Yuan followed along and said: "Kneeling for a few hours less can be made up for tomorrow. Your Majesty, do not get angry and harm your body."
Tian Wu placed his brush on the table and took a sip of tea. He then slanted his eyes and asked Zhang Yuan: "Say, will the people over there be able to come?"
