Lu Song's mood was already gloomy. Now that he had been stopped by Feng Yu Heng, this only added fuel to the fire. Suddenly, he stared at Feng Yu Heng. It was as though his mind had been enlightened, as he rushed to say: "It's you! It's you, right? Everything was caused by you! "
Feng Yu Heng sneered, "Has the left prime minister gone crazy? With so many eyes watching and so many ears listening, the Lu Family's second young miss, Lu Yao, clearly knows how to swim, yet she did not save herself. Instead, she insisted on having the Lu Family's eldest young miss jump in to save her. What exactly is going on, it really is thought-provoking. Also, why would the Gu from the South appear in the imperial palace? I just hope that the governor can provide us with a final explanation. "
"What final explanation!" Lu Song became furious, "Falling into the water by accident, this prime minister lost a daughter, and the other daughter's appearance was ruined for the sake of saving your aunty. This is the final explanation!"
"I fear that's not the case!" Feng Yu Heng shrugged, "It's as I said before. The Lu Family's second young miss clearly knows how to swim. Why would she need someone else to save her? Also, the reason for falling into the water needs to be investigated clearly. I am curious. With so many people admiring the lotuses at the side of the pond, why were the two of them the only ones that fell in? In the end, this matter still requires the governor to provide us with an explanation. "
"You …" Lu Song was rendered speechless for a while. In front of Feng Yu Heng, he was always rendered speechless like this, but in the end, even if the Lu Family had this sort of unforeseen event, he still felt a bit timid when facing Feng Yu Heng. Thus, he deliberately avoided a confrontation and once again turned his attention to the Yao family, "Imperial daughter, please make way. This prime minister still needs to go and ask for an explanation from my son, Yao Shu."
Feng Yu Heng, however, shook her head and did not move, "Prime minister Lu is a standard first rank left prime minister. You should have a bit of bearing. If there is anything, just say it to me. This imperial daughter is enough to represent the Yao family. Prime minister Lu, what do you think? "
How was it? Not good at all.
Lu Song angrily gritted his teeth; however, it was truly inconvenient for him to completely shed all pretense of cordiality with Feng Yu Heng in the palace. Turning around to look, he saw that the governor, Xu Jing Yuan, had already brought people over. His heart was stifled and he felt that this place was full of thorns. He didn't want to stay any longer. Thus, he leaned to the side to avoid Feng Yu Heng and hurriedly walked towards the palace gate.
Before he took a few steps, he heard Feng Yu Heng's voice behind him again: "Prime Minister Lu left just like that? One of your daughters is dead and the other is injured, and you're just going to leave them here? "
Lu Song waved his hand. "Let the capital governor do as he sees fit!"
As expected, he didn't care anymore.
Lü Ping had a disdainful smile on her face. She knew her father all too well. This father of hers, whatever he did, he had to look at the returns. He treated her well and raised her daughter with a hidden illness. Was it not because he had taken a fancy to her peerless appearance and hoped that this appearance would provide a different path for the Lu Family? The Lu Family had done all sorts of things for the sake of ensuring that no matter which prince ascended the throne, they would be in an undefeatable position. However, who knew that with today's events, both she and Lu Yao had been ruined. They were no longer of any use to the Lu Family. How could Lu Song feel pity for them.
When she raised her head again, Feng Yu Heng had already walked over to her side. The governor had already sent people to collect Lu Yao's corpse. The corpse was very quickly carried away, and the governor came over to say to her: "Eldest young miss Lu, rest at ease and recover. In a few days, this official will invite eldest young miss to appear in court for some questioning."
Lü Ping nodded and watched the governor bid farewell to Feng Yu Heng before leaving the lotus pond with his people. She gently tugged at Feng Yu Heng and quietly said to her: "Imperial daughter, I helped you today and helped myself. From this day forward, my face will no longer be missed by the Lu Family. It's just … imperial daughter, in the future, if Lü Ping has anything to ask of you, I hope that you will remember today's events and help me out. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Although there was no lack of you being used in today's events, no matter what is said, you did save my aunt. I will remember this grace. After this matter, you can go to the imperial daughter's manor to look for me. I will not just stand by and watch you do what you want. "
The scene at the lotus pond could be considered to have come to an end, but there was a girl standing in the crowd. At this time, she was staring fixedly at Lü Ping, and there was a faint look of excitement in her eyes.
Very good! The girl snorted coldly to herself. Very good, Lu Yao had died, and Lü Ping's face had been ruined. In the current Lu Family, the only person that her father could rely on was Lu Yan. As for the cause of all of this, it was not her, Lu Yan. It was the two elder sisters that had sought their own deaths. She had obtained a great bargain. She really had obtained it without any effort!
The palace banquet had reached this point. Even if it did not end in the palace, the people could not continue to stay. Of the left prime minister's family's young misses, one had died and one had been injured. To the people, this matter was truly a bit too big; however, the person that was implicated was the Yao family's head madam. In the end, the governor also participated. In addition to Left Prime Minister Lu Song's attitude, this matter was a bit strange no matter how they thought about it.
The people continued to speculate on their own. After returning to Heavenly Hall, they continued to discuss this matter. In the end, Emperor Tianwu waved his hand, and the banquet came to an end. Although the people still did not enjoy themselves to the fullest, a life had been lost. Continuing to sing and dance like this was not too appropriate.
Wave after wave of people left the palace. It had taken a long time to enter the palace, and leaving the palace was not easy. There were too many people, and it was a dark mass. Looking from a distance, they looked like ants.
The Emperor stood on the rooftop of the third floor of Heavenly Hall and looked at these people, sneering internally. He asked Zhang Yuan who was beside him: "Xiao Yuan Zhi, tell me, among those people, how many of them are loyal to the court? And how many people's hearts are different from the rest? "
Zhang Yuan felt his head swell from hearing this, "You are the Emperor. How can you ask this sort of thing to a eunuch like this servant? How could this servant dare to speak about the court's matters. "
Tianwu snorted coldly, "Have We not asked you many things? Have you not dared to say many things? Really, Zhang Yuan, have you gotten old? Why is it that you're so timid about everything you say and do now? "
Zhang Yuan glared, "You're the one who's old."
But he did not expect that Tianwu would admit it directly, "We are old. If not for the fact that we are old, We would have personally dealt with those people with evil intentions! How could we leave them alive today! Don't think that We don't know what the Eighth Brother is up to in the south. But, what's the use of knowing? "Tianwu's mood sank again," What's the use of knowing? We are old and cannot leave the capital. We also don't have the energy to care about those monkeys. In the past, when I was young, I wanted to let them experience the world on their own and learn more skills. It would be best if each of them could make a name for themselves. At that time, I would be able to choose the best of these sons to inherit the throne. "
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes, "Are you regretting it now? They've all developed and made a name for themselves. Each of them is more ambitious than the other, desperately wanting the throne. And you, you don't want them to compete fairly, right? "
Tianwu glared, "Why wouldn't I want to? We have always had the intention of letting them compete fairly. But you've also seen it. Can they compete with Old Ninth? Ai, it's not that We are biased! We are good to Old Ninth, not only because of Pian Pian. Of course, Pian Pian is also a factor, but the most important thing is that Old Ninth is capable. "
Zhang Yuan agreed with this point, "Not only is he capable, but his wife is also capable."
"Of course!" At the mention of Feng Yu Heng, Tianwu became even more spirited, "That's why they say that Old Ninth is born to be emperor. Look at the wife he chose. How many times has Dashun been in danger because of that child Heng? Today's thousand-perfume incident, Dashun didn't lose face, right? And that's just the small matter. Just that year's steel did not just raise Dashun's morale. Instead, it raised our troops to a whole new level! "
Zhang Yuan nodded and thought a little more before saying: "Does Your Majesty still remember the prophecy from the Board of Astronomy?"
"Of course." Speaking of this, Tianwu's expression sank, "The Northwest. That year, that child Heng was exiled to the Northwest, right?"
"That's right." Zhang Yuan said: "Feng Jin Yuan feared that the Yao family's matter would implicate the Feng family, so he sent Yao shi and her children to a mountain village in the Northwest. That year was the last year. As for the Ninth Prince, he mentioned it to Your Majesty. The first time he met Imperial Daughter was on the night of the Board of Astronomy's observation of the stars. Imperial Daughter's miraculous hands healed his Highness' legs. Your Majesty, tell me, is this fate? "
Tianwu smiled and said with certainty: "Of course, it is fate. This is the fate of the phoenix! The fate of the phoenix! "
On this side, Emperor Tianwu sighed with emotion. On the other side, Jian Zheng from the Board of Astronomy was also saying the same thing. As for the person he was talking about, it was Consort Yun, who had occupied the main hall of Zhao He Hall on her own after returning to the palace.
Jian Zheng said: "Speaking of the star of the phoenix that appeared two years ago, there has been a strange appearance of a pair of stars accompanying the moon. Imperial Daughter might not know, but this official has been observing the stars every night and has found that there is a shadow hidden behind the star of the phoenix. It's like the star of the phoenix's shadow. Wherever the star of the phoenix goes, it goes. It seems to be taking its place! "
Consort Yun had been eating melon seeds. Upon hearing this, she immediately threw away the melon seeds in her hand and sat up straight, saying: "Taking its place? A shadow actually wants to rebel against its master? Storyteller, is this information of yours accurate? "
Jian Zheng from the Board of Astronomy wiped away some sweat. Thinking about it, he was a dignified astrologer. Why was it that he had never raised his head in front of Master Yun? Storyteller, only this one dared to call him that! But since his master asked, he still had to answer. Thus, he respectfully said: "This official does not dare to lie."
"Then it's true?" Consort Yun sneered, "Since ancient times, there have been too many people who didn't know that they were the same. They always wanted to sit in a position that they shouldn't sit in, and always wanted to do things that they shouldn't do. But they didn't know that things that they shouldn't have were extremely hot. "
The pitiful Jian Zheng could only nod his head repeatedly, expressing his agreement with this statement.
Consort Yun continued: "Then tell me, is there any way to resolve this? We can't let a lousy shadow affect the fate of the star of the phoenix. "
Jian Zheng said: "Currently, it seems that there isn't any effective method. The existence of that shadow is intentional by the star of the phoenix. All of this depends on how the star of the phoenix chooses. Whether it stays or leaves, it's all up to the star of the phoenix."
"What's so difficult about choosing?" Consort Yun was very angry, "Leaving the master and leaving the servant is such a simple matter. Since that shadow wants to die, then let it do as it wishes. In this consort's opinion, this kind of person who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth should be killed cleanly and efficiently. "
Consort Yun's words carried a vicious aura. Even the Board of Astronomy, Jian Zheng, could feel it and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. But thinking about it again, the shadow that affected the star of the phoenix indeed deserved to be killed.
"Who's outside?" Suddenly, inside the main hall, a female guard abruptly shouted. Then, her gaze shot towards a corner outside the window.
