The other party was about to pull in the net, and she was that big fish. It was just that this net was just a small part of their countless nets. The other party should not be stupid enough to think that this small matter could trap her, and of course, she would not think that the other party wanted to use this palace banquet to destroy her in one fell swoop.
Feng Yu Heng rubbed her nose, coming to this Dashun, her presence was really getting stronger and stronger! Her gaze followed the direction of the Eighth Prince, but she saw that he was also looking towards her, a faint smile on his face. She suddenly raised a bright smile, which caused the Eighth Prince to be stunned for a moment, completely unable to understand why this woman would suddenly smile like this, shouldn't she be worried?
"Heng Zheng." Xuan Tiange tugged at her sleeve, saying softly: "Why do I keep feeling that this matter will not be unrelated to you? That grand scholar's daughter had an argument with you before, could it be that someone … … "
Just as she said this, she suddenly heard someone in the crowd say: "Isn't this the Li family's young miss who had a conflict with Princess Ji An in Fei Cui Hall previously?" With just one sentence, the matter that happened in Fei Cui Hall was brought up again, and it also reminded everyone, one of the deceased had just had an argument with Feng Yu Heng, and it was not a normal argument, it was to the point that even grand scholar Li was chased out, and it was very clear that he would lose his position after the new year.
Everyone could not help but turn their gazes toward Feng Yu Heng. There were quite a few people that had looks of doubt and thought. It was clear that they had already linked Li Ying's death to Feng Yu Heng.
Xuan Tiange frowned, saying unhappily: "What are you looking at? So what if there was a conflict? Usually, the young misses of your families have quite a few conflicts and arguments with the young misses of other families, what, is it that when a family's young miss has a headache or fever, they have to dig out all the people they had a conflict with? If you have the time, why don't you go find Lord Li and ask him why he didn't quickly bring his daughter out of the palace after being chased out of the Jade Palace? "
The people could not refute Xuan Tiange's words. Thinking about it carefully, the dignified Princess Ji An, even if she was unhappy with that Li Ying, she would not take action in the imperial palace, and she would not kill him like this. It was not easy for a princess to mess with someone. Therefore, some people nodded and felt that this matter had nothing to do with Feng Yu Heng, so they stopped paying attention to it.
However, if things were that simple, then their deaths would have been meaningless. The people on the Ninth Prince's side naturally wouldn't suspect Feng Yu Heng. The people on the neutral side also understood. However, there was a group of people who deliberately went against her side. Even if they were unreasonable, they would still argue. Now that the corpse was right in front of them, how could they miss such a great opportunity? Thus, someone raised his voice and said, "The deaths of these two young ladies are strange. It is reasonable to say that the young lady of Ma Daren's family was killed because of Ma Daren's influence. After all, the position of Minister of Justice offends many people. But Lord Li is just a scholar. He doesn't have the chance to offend anyone. Why is Young Miss Li lying here as a corpse? "
Another person followed up and said: "I just saw Princess Ji An leave the banquet. I heard the servants say that she seemed to be heading towards the lakeside. Imperial Daughter, is that true? "
After this was said, the imperial physician who had been in the crowd participating in the banquet also gave the results of the examination: "Replying Your Majesty, they died less than an hour ago."
The time and place matched the time when Feng Yu Heng left Ming Zhi Palace's performance hall and headed towards the lakeside. It really was a coincidence. Feng Yu Heng snorted coldly in her heart. This Eighth Prince really didn't stop after returning to court. He started to cause trouble on the first day of the new year. He was determined to not let people have a good new year. It was said that the beginning of the new year had to be auspicious. One couldn't get angry, couldn't quarrel, and had to avoid many taboos. Unfortunately, this banquet had everything. Now, even the corpses were placed here for everyone to see. How could this be auspicious?
"Princess Ji An, why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling guilty? "
"That's right! Princess Ji An, everyone knows that you are vengeful and never suffer a loss. In all these years, we haven't seen you suffer any losses. Even His Majesty is on your side. Of course, you have done a lot of good things for our Dashun. We should be grateful to you. But no matter what, you shouldn't be so narrow-minded! That Young Miss Li only offended you verbally. Even if there was some physical contact, isn't it normal for young misses to quarrel? How can you be so narrow-minded and insist on killing Young Miss Li? "
"That's right! Everyone knows that Princess Ji An is skilled in martial arts, and her archery skills are top-notch. The cause of death of these two just happened to be arrows. How do you explain this? "
Questions came one after another, and Feng Yu Heng felt as though these people had won a prize for guessing correctly. Who knew what sort of prize this prize would be worth. It was actually enough for them to throw away their old faces and say such things that went against their beliefs. However, it was normal. They were originally on the Eighth Prince's side. They had always been at odds with her side. Tianwu was in his twilight years, and he fought for every opportunity to give full support to the prince they chose. Moreover, she was clear that this matter was a set up. It was a set up for her, but she also felt that killing two innocent young misses of official families for the sake of dragging her down was a bit low-class. The Eighth Prince would not do such a thing, so it could only mean one thing. The killing was not for the sake of framing her, but after killing them, he felt that framing her was fine. That was why he had done this.
Feng Yu Heng shrugged and smiled. This smile caused the people who had pointed out that she was the culprit to feel confused. They thought to themselves, has this imperial daughter become an idiot?
For a while, countless people began to fan the flames. There were also some that could not bear to watch and began to argue. The lakeside was very lively. As for Feng Xiang Rong, who was squeezed into the crowd, she could no longer hold back and shouted: "You people are all spouting nonsense! My second sister does not know how to kill people. You can't tell right from wrong. How exactly did you become officials! "
The little girl had just turned 13 years old. She was no longer as timid as she was when she was young, especially under the fourth prince's tutelage. She knew how to resist evil forces. But that was only limited to showing off in a small area. In this sort of palace banquet, she was still very low-key. She basically did not have much of a presence, and she would often be bullied. But she could endure anything, but she could not tolerate these people spouting nonsense and forcefully putting the hat of murder on Feng Yu Heng's head. Feng Yu Heng was her second sister. From a young age, she had liked and admired her second sister the most. Previously, because of various reasons, both sides pretended to be at odds. The little girl Xiang Rong missed her second sister to no end. Today, in the courtyard of Jingtsu Temple, she saw the three madams of the Yao family publicly reconcile with Feng Yu Heng. At this time, she could no longer endure. What protection? If they were to use this sort of method to protect her for life, she would rather not have this protection. She would rather live under the shadow of a sword than be together with her second sister.
Xiang Rong's shout gave the fourth prince, Xuan Tian Yi, a fright, but he did not stop her. Following this, he said: "That's right, stop spouting nonsense!"
Feng Yu Heng facepalmed. Girl Xiang Rong, second sister has been protecting you for the past few months for nothing. With the Eighth Prince returning to the capital, at such a sensitive time, why are you causing trouble! She secretly thought to herself that she would find a chance today to talk to the fourth prince and have him think of a way to protect Xiang Rong. She absolutely must not let anything happen to her. Or he could simply bring her into his palace. Either way, that embroidery shop could no longer be lived in. It was the same as leaving the doors open for others to clean up.
At first, Xiang Rong's words had caused many old officials to feel dissatisfied, but the fourth prince immediately spoke up. After that, the eldest prince and the second prince also expressed their dissatisfaction with these people. This managed to suppress their momentum a little. Immediately following this, the Sixth Prince, Xuan Tianfeng, also spoke up, directly speaking up for Feng Yu Heng: "This matter is completely unrelated to Princess Ji An. I can testify to this matter! Because imperial daughter came out to get some fresh air and went to the lakeside, I was also with her. "With these words, he brought the focus of attention back to himself.
The sixth prince was a scholar, and he did not fight for the throne. He was considered a neutral prince. Over the years, the officials in the court respected His Highness Prince Xian quite a bit. It was because of the scholarly aura that he had and the contributions he had made to Da Shun's culture that could not be ignored. However, who knew that the Sixth Prince would actually stand up for Feng Yu Heng at a time like this. He even spoke up for her. What sort of situation was this?
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. For a while, they did not know what they should do, but there were still some people who closed their eyes and did not think about the Sixth Prince. Going against their conscience, they said: "His Highness Prince Xian and Princess Ji An? What are you doing walking to such a remote place in the middle of the night? Princess Ji An, are you engaged to His Highness Prince Yu? How can you be so unrestrained? "
These people argued for the entire night, yet Feng Yu Heng did not say a single word. She just felt as though a swarm of flies were buzzing around her ear. It really was annoying.
Irritation appeared on her face. The Sixth Prince was still arguing for what was right and was still doing his best to clear her name. As for Xuan Tianming, who had also been standing there without saying anything, he saw Feng Yu Heng's irritation. The two of them had the same thoughts, and he also felt that these people were like flies. Thus, he reached out and happened to grab a string of beads that an official next to him was wearing. Using some force, the string snapped, and the person choked. Before he could even finish shouting, it was as though his string of beads had grown wings, flying out of Xuan Tianming's hand. In the beginning, they were still in a string, but after flying halfway, they scattered, each going their own way. Those people who had been shouting about Feng Yu Heng and the Sixth Prince's ambiguous relationship all had one fly out of their mouths. Some of them were hit until their tongues were numb, some of them simply drilled into their throats, and some of them even lost two of their front teeth.
Finally, the annoying sounds came to a stop. At this time, someone pointed at their throat with a look of horror and gasped for breath. At the same time, they struggled to say: "Save … … Save me, the hidden weapon fell into my stomach!"
And the owner of the bead also cried out at this time: "Ah! My top grade glass bead! Spit it out for me! Spit it out for me! "
