Consort Li lost a bit of her memory. How did she end up in the imperial tent? How did that little person end up in Emperor Tian Wu's hands? Right now, everything was over, but she had just agreed to cooperate with Feng Fen Dai. What was this now? Most importantly, her matter had been exposed. What would happen to her son? Would he be implicated by her?
Consort Li collapsed to the ground in fear. Staring straight at Tian Wu, she begged for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, this concubine was muddled for a moment. It really was muddled for a moment! Your Majesty, you must forgive this concubine. You must forgive this concubine! "
"Forgive my ass!" Tian Wu suddenly grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it down on Consort Li's head! With this, a bloody hole immediately appeared on Consort Li's head. Blood flowed all over her face, causing her to cry out in pain. "We hate witchcraft the most. You have disobeyed Us time and time again. How could We tolerate such a vicious woman?"
Seeing that Tian Wu was about to explode, the second prince, Xuan Tian Ling, quickly advised: "Father Emperor, please calm down for now. Aside from the matter of witchcraft, son still needs to ask her Highness Consort Li about Feiyu's matter. Ask her if she knows anything."
Once this was said, Consort Li suddenly shouted: "No! I did not want to harm Feiyu. I did not want to harm that child! Your Majesty, this concubine also watched Feiyu grow up. I dote on him, so how could I harm him? "
"Your Highness means to say that the matter in the forest is unrelated to you?" This question was asked by Feng Yu Heng. She was very clear that the little white tiger had been sent away by Consort Li's subordinates. She just wanted to see what Consort Li would say.
With her saying this, Consort Li quickly said: "It was related! I admit that it was related to me, but I just wanted to steal that little white tiger out. I wanted … I wanted to scare county princess Ji An. Your Majesty! This concubine really did not think that the tiger would harm people. If I knew that it would harm people, this concubine definitely would not dare to touch it! "
This time, Tian Wu became even angrier. Not to mention cursing Feng Yu Heng, this Consort Li had harmed Xuan Feiyu. That was his most beloved grandson! He fiercely glared at Consort Li, as he felt conflicted. Should this person be demoted or killed? Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he was more inclined to kill her. Keeping this sort of person alive would be a scourge, but Imperial Concubine Li had given birth to the sixth prince. It just so happened that the sixth prince was a child that caused people to feel distressed. If Imperial Concubine Li was killed like this, he feared that the child would develop some sort of mental knot.
While the Emperor was feeling conflicted, the second prince asked Imperial Concubine Li: "What did you steal imperial daughter's little white tiger for? Did the little tiger offend you, or did the princess offend you? "
At this time, Consort Li had already run out of ideas. Or it could be said that she had never had any ideas in all these years. She was not a bad person, but her personality was too soft. She was easily led by the nose by others. It had to be said that scaring Feng Yu Heng and causing trouble for Feng Yu Heng was not something that she had thought of on her own. It was just that when she was in the palace, those imperial concubines that could not see the Emperor would spend their days together gossiping. Their words were more malicious than the last, and they were more sour than the last. Although Consort Li was not sociable and rarely participated, she was still in the imperial harem. No matter how unsociable she was, she could still hear some things. Gradually, she developed resentment towards the Ninth Prince, who was most likely to become the crown prince. She also developed resentment towards Feng Yu Heng, who was constantly adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. And all of this was because she had also given birth to the emperor's son. She also had enough of the life in the imperial harem. She also hoped that one day she could change her fate and change the pain she had suffered for the past twenty years.
Faced with the Second Prince's questioning, Consort Li spoke truthfully. She spoke of the pain she had suffered for the past twenty years. She spoke of the unwillingness in her heart when the princes fought for the throne for the past two years. Although she was talking about herself, her resentment was also directed at Tianwu.
Tianwu was stunned when he heard this, but it was only for a moment. He quickly regained his senses. For him, there were too many women, and he had let down too many. Other than those who had princes, there were many that he could not remember. But he did not feel that he owed them. Women who entered the palace had to walk this path. Even if there was no Consort Yun, there would be someone else. As the years passed, the old and the new would replace each other. There would always be someone who would be eliminated. Ever since they had the idea of entering the palace, their families had already told them the path ahead. Once they entered the palace, they would be as deep as the ocean. If they could swim, they would swim. If they couldn't, they could only sink to the bottom.
Imperial Concubine Li had admitted to the matter of the little white tiger being taken away, but why did the little white tiger bite Xuan Fei Yu? This was something that the second prince was still pondering. It was Feng Yu Heng that gave him an answer, "That little white tiger of mine is very understanding. Her Highness Imperial Concubine Li arranged for an imperial guard to carry it out. It definitely would not be happy. That Imperial Guard had an argument with Little White Tiger and let Little White Tiger take a bite out of him. At the same time, Little White Tiger remembered the fragrance on his body. No matter how intelligent Little White Tiger was, it was still an animal. It couldn't possibly have a human's brain. Therefore, when Little White Tiger was thrown into the forest and didn't know what to do, Feiyu suddenly appeared with the Imperial Guard's fragrance on his body. Little White Tiger subconsciously thought that Feiyu was the person who stole it and threw it away, so it went to bite him. "
What she said was reasonable. A piece of the Imperial Guard's armor was also found in Little White Tiger's mouth. Xuan Feiyu also had that fragrance on his body. Consort Li didn't seem to be lying. All of this already proved that Feng Yu Heng's reasoning was correct.
Consort Li didn't say anything else. She just lowered her head and sobbed. She seemed to be blaming herself. Feng Yu Heng thought for a moment then asked, "Consort Yun also said that all of this was directed at me, but why did she destroy Princess Wuyang's imperial carriage? What grudges does she have with Consort Yun? "
Consort Li was stunned. "Tiange's imperial carriage? What do you mean? "
Tianwu also looked towards Feng Yu Heng. "You're saying that Tiange's imperial carriage overturned by someone?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded. "The place where the wheels were connected to the axle was forcefully clamped off by someone. It wasn't an accident."
Tianwu immediately glared at Consort Li, but Consort Li kept shaking her head. While shaking her head, she said, "No, that imperial carriage has nothing to do with me. Your Majesty, Chenqie admits to everything she did, but Chenqie has no reason to destroy Tiange's imperial carriage! She's a girl and also Feng's younger sister. I … Why would Chenqie destroy her imperial carriage!? "
Tianwu didn't believe her. "Sophistry!"
Consort Li smiled bitterly. "Sophistry? Chenqie is going to die anyway. So what if there's one more or one less? If Chenqie really did it, Chenqie will definitely admit to it. But if Chenqie admits to it, then you'll never be able to find the real culprit! "
Tianwu's expression was calm and he didn't say anything. At this time, Feng Yu Heng suddenly said, "Her Highness Consort Li is a careless person. Heng admires her."
"En?" Everyone voiced their doubts. Even Tianwu looked towards Feng Yu Heng in confusion.
Feng Yu Heng only smiled faintly and said, "When it's a matter of life and death, Her Highness still thought of finding the real culprit and not letting Princess Wuyang encounter danger again. Shouldn't Her Highness admire her?" After she finished speaking, she looked towards the Second Imperial Prince and said, "Second Brother, Feiyu's matter isn't entirely Her Highness' fault. If you want to blame someone, you should blame that little thing for being raised by Heng."
"Heng, you mean …"
"Imperial Father." Feng Yu Heng didn't reply to the Second Imperial Prince. Instead, she asked Emperor Tianwu, "Imperial Father, how do you plan to deal with Her Highness Consort Li?"
Tianwu coldly snorted and looked at Consort Li as if he was looking at a stranger. After a while, he coldly threw out a sentence, "Kill."
Consort Li slumped to the ground and didn't say a word.
After Tianwu gave the order to kill, Zhang Yuan was about to send people to carry it out. However, Feng Yu Heng stopped him in time, "Wait." Then she slowly knelt next to Consort Li and said to Tianwu, "Imperial Father, Heng Heng pleads on behalf of Consort Li."
Everyone didn't understand what she was trying to do, including Consort Li and Emperor Tianwu. He didn't say anything and just looked at Feng Yu Heng, waiting for her to continue. Feng Yu Heng immediately said, "In the end, Consort Li didn't really want to hurt anyone. She stole Heng's little white tiger and only wanted to give Heng Heng a warning. It's not a big deal. Now that the matter with Feiyu has been clarified, it was an accident. I hope that Second Brother will be able to calm down. As for the witchcraft curse, Heng Heng is a doctor. I only believe in treating illnesses, not witchcraft. "
"Just because of this?" Tianwu asked Feng Yu Heng, "If that's the only reason, we will still kill her."
"That's not the only reason." Feng Yu Heng said, "Heng Heng Heng was thinking that since Consort Li is His Highness the Sixth Prince's birth mother, even if Imperial Father doesn't care about Consort Li, you should at least care about His Highness the Sixth Prince. In any case … … you should leave him a mother. "
She didn't say it too clearly. Over the years, many princes had died, and the imperial concubines' mothers had died one after another. However, those princes deserved it. The disaster was caused by their sons, but the Sixth Prince was innocent. In the end, Consort Li was just a foolish imperial concubine. Of course, there was also Feng Yu Heng's personal reasons that she didn't mention.
"Forget it." After a long time, Tianwu said tiredly, "Consort Li is demoted to Noble Lady. You will be moved to the side hall of Jing Si Palace. You are not allowed to take half a step out of Jing Si Palace without permission." After speaking, Emperor Tianwu stood up, entered the tent, and didn't come out again.
Consort Li was still sitting on the ground, paralyzed. She hadn't recovered from her shock, but she heard the Second Prince say, "Noble Lady Li, please stand up. You have your life saved today, and you have to thank Princess Ji 'an. If Princess Ji hadn't pleaded for leniency, this matter definitely wouldn't have ended up like this if it had been up to me. " After speaking, he gestured to his subordinates. Immediately, someone came forward to carry Consort Li and her maid out and sent them back to their own tents.
Consort Li, who had already been demoted to Noble Lady, still didn't understand why Feng Yu Heng wanted to save her life. Only demoting her to Noble Lady was too light for the crimes she had committed.
That maid threw herself at her feet and cried bitterly as she advised, "Niangniang, let's stop. Let's not go against the Imperial Princess. If you really want to find a backer for His Highness the Sixth Prince, then His Ninth Highness is the most reliable one! " This maid's words came out one sentence after another, but Noble Lady Li didn't respond. She didn't nod or shake her head. She just sat there in a daze, not saying a single word.
On the other side of the imperial tent, Emperor Tianwu was asking Feng Yu Heng, "She used witchcraft to harm you. Why are you still protecting her?"
Feng Yu Heng smiled, "Imperial Father, I'm not protecting Consort Li. I'm protecting His Highness the Sixth Prince and the people of Dashun's country."
