Today, the frozen lake in the Imperial Palace seemed to be especially attractive. Feng Yu Heng had only thrown three people in, and now, there was another piece of news. It said that Feng Zhao Lian had broken the ice to go fishing. As a result, he had fallen into the water.
She felt very helpless after hearing this and could only have Xuan Tian Ge's group leave the palace first. She then followed the palace servants to the place where Feng Zhao Lian had met with the accident.
When they arrived, Feng Zhao Lian had just been fished out of the water. His appearance was very pitiful, with bits of ice still hanging from his head. His entire body was soaked, and even one of his shoes had fallen off. Looking at him again, he was also in a daze. His eyes were half open and half closed, and he did not have any energy at all. The palace servants around him were currently saying: "I wonder if he came with Royal Consort Yu. Today, only Zhang Ning Palace has a banquet. Thinking about it, reporting to that side should be correct, right?" After saying this, they looked up and saw Feng Yu Heng rushing over. They could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Everyone quickly saluted her.
Feng Yu Heng waved her hand: "There's no need to be so courteous." She then quickly arrived in front of Feng Zhao Lian and squatted down to look at this person for a while before reaching out to touch his wrist. She felt that this person's pulse was stable. Aside from him looking a little disheveled, everything else was very normal. There was no discomfort from falling into the water.
But Feng Zhao Lian did not think this. Seeing Feng Yu Heng arrive, he immediately asked in a weak voice: "Heng Heng, am I about to die? Being able to see you one more time before dying, it's really good. "
Feng Yu Heng frowned and quietly said: "Feng Zhao Lian, stop pretending. Quickly get up! It's just Dashun's frozen lake. To someone like you who grew up in a place as cold as Qian Zhou, what is it? Just based on your resistance to the cold, you can swim a few laps around this lake naked. Don't think that I don't know. "
Feng Zhao Lian, however, acted as though he did not understand. Grabbing her weakly with one hand, he repeatedly shook his head, "I really can't hold on much longer. It's so cold. My entire body has no strength. Heng Heng, quickly save me. Carry me to a warm room! I don't want to die outside. "
The surrounding palace servants also said, "That's right! Her whole body is soaked. If she continues to lie on the snow like this, she will really die. "
Feng Yu Heng, however, suddenly curled up the corners of her lips into a smile. Looking at Feng Zhao Lian, she asked: "There are so many courtyards in the palace. Just say it, where do you want to raise it?"
Feng Zhaolian sighed, "Heng Zheng, anywhere is fine. I just don't have any strength. It seems that I will need to stay in the palace for a while to recuperate. I know you must have some connections. Everyone in the palace will give you some face. It won't be difficult to find a place for a patient like me. How about ….. "She thought about it and rolled her eyes before saying," I remember that you have a good relationship with the Empress. How about I go to the Empress' place? Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for you. After I recover, I'll leave the palace and return home. "
Feng Yu Heng was almost amused. Go to the Empress's place to recuperate? Did this person think that the Empress' place was a refuge that anyone could go whenever they wanted? But after thinking a bit, she felt that Feng Zhaolian had come into the palace with a goal. He came in under the guise of Consort Li's palace banquet; however, he did not take a single step into Chang Gong Ning. She had even forgotten about the gift that she had asked her to deliver. He did not even ask. Turning around and falling into the icy lake, he directly mentioned going to Jingtsu Temple for a while ….. A look of doubt appeared on her face. Leaning over, she quietly asked: "The one surnamed Feng, what sort of wicked idea are you thinking of now?"
Feng Zhaolian, however, did not reply. Instead, he simply rolled his eyes and fainted.
In truth, Feng Yu Heng really wanted to wake him up with a needle. Faking fainting in a doctor's embrace was something that Feng Zhaolian could do. But she did not do such a thing. Instead, she cooperated with Feng Zhaolian's request. She ordered a palace servant at her side: "Go and bring a sedan over. Send the person to Jingtsu Temple. Imperial concubine I's friend accidentally fell into the water. Her body is too weak, and there's nothing that can be done. She can only recuperate in the palace for a while. Would Your Highness the Empress please take her in. "
After saying this, she looked at Feng Zhaolian, who had already "fainted," and felt that the corners of this person's lips were slightly curled up. A look of success hung on his face, and it was very annoying.
On this trip, Feng Yu Heng would definitely be coming along. She trusted that Feng Zhaolian definitely had his own reasons for wanting to remain in Jingtsu Temple. Just like this, entering the palace today, and just like this person who had followed them to the capital of Dashun, Feng Zhaolian had his own ideas and secrets. Even if it was for the sake of the 100 thousand soldiers, she had to help with this matter. Moreover, through the matter with Lu Yan, Feng Yu Heng also wanted to know what sort of secrets the Empress had that could not be revealed.
On this side, Feng Yu Heng had gone to Jingtsu Temple. On the other side, Zhu Kongshan had brought the three half-dead young misses from Zhang Ning Palace to Cun Shan Palace. Upon entering the palace, they could hear Noble Lady Yuan's angry voice. It sounded as though she was punishing a palace servant; however, it was clear that her words were directed at the banquet in Zhang Ning Palace.
She ordered for the three young misses to settle down first. She then entered Noble Lady Yuan's side hall. Upon seeing her arrive, Noble Lady Yuan immediately dismissed the palace servant that had been scolded. Only then did she pull Zhu Kongshan over to her side and ask: "What's the situation over there?"
Zhu Kongshan thought for a bit then said: "There's nothing else. It's just some squabbling between the young misses. It's nothing serious. As for second aunt … "
"Don't call her second aunt here! I don't have that sort of younger sister! " Regardless of how much face she gave to Consort Li in front of others and how much consideration she had for her son's grand plan, once she returned to her own place, she could no longer hold back. All of the grievances that she had suffered in Zhang Ning Palace had to be made up for here. Punishing servants was not enough. Faced with Zhu Kongshan calling Consort Li second aunt, she really did not like hearing it.
Zhu Kongshan could understand Noble Lady Yuan's feelings and repeatedly nodded, saying: "Yes, yes, it's Her Highness Consort Li. I feel that her attitude toward Royal Consort Yu is very strange. Not only is she overly warm, but also …" She pondered for a while then continued: "Also, I have been paying attention to the conversations between them. Or perhaps it could not be considered conversations. Most of it was just Consort Li speaking on her own, and Royal Consort Yu would casually respond. The things that Consort Li said were all things related to His Highness the sixth prince. Things like how His Highness the sixth prince is talented in poetry, how he can share His Majesty's burdens, and how understanding and filial he is. That sort of feeling is as though … as though she is desperately trying to have Royal Consort Yu understand how good His Highness the sixth prince is. Aunty, don't you think that this matter is especially strange? If it was said that Royal Consort Yu was an unmarried daughter, this matter would be understandable, but she is still a married woman. No matter how good His Highness the sixth prince is, what use is there? "
Although Zhu Kongshan was puzzled, she had a little thought in her mind. It was just that thinking about it was too shocking, and she did not dare think too deeply about it.
But Noble Lady Yuan was different. She had always had many thoughts. She spent most of her time in the palace, and her thoughts were unfathomable. In practically the instant that Zhu Kongshan said these things, she understood what Consort Li was thinking. It was just that once this thought appeared, she could not help but laugh, "She wants to find a wife for her son? It's a wonder that she can think of such a thing. No matter how capable that Feng Yu Heng is, she has already married old ninth. What is she trying to do? But … "Noble Lady Yuan thought quickly," That's also good. It's best if she has some ideas. What's most feared is that she won't do anything and will just be satisfied with the status quo. Like that, there won't be anything that we can use. "
Zhu Kongshan asked her: "Does aunty have a good idea? I heard cousin Mo say that the 30 thousand troops that the Sixth Prince has are very important to him. Moreover, those 30 thousand troops were secretly brought back by His Majesty to guard the capital. They are there to guard against any changes in the capital. If those 30 thousand troops are in his hands, along with the Imperial Guard in the palace, the capital would be cousin's world. "
"That's right!" Noble Lady Yuan nodded, "That is indeed the case. That's why we need to think of a way to have Consort Li seek death on her own. After that, we will lend a hand and pull her back from the brink of death. This is called fighting to rise from the brink of death. "
"Seek death?" Zhu Kongshan was unable to understand, "How can we have her seek death on her own?"
Noble Lady Yuan curled her lips into a smile, "Taking an interest in Royal Consort Yu, is this death not great enough?"
When Zhu Kongshan left the palace, Feng Yu Heng happened to have just gotten into the imperial carriage. The curtain had not been lowered yet. Who knew what she was thinking, as she quickly ran over to Feng Yu Heng and saluted, taking the initiative to say: "Is Princess returning to the manor?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "That's right! Why is the Zhu family's young miss in such a rush? "
Zhu Kongshan said: "I need to quickly go and inform the families of the three young misses that fell into the water. I was the one that brought them into the palace. Now that something has happened, I have no way of explaining it to them. The imperial physician said … that it might not be too good. "
"Oh." Feng Yu Heng did not have any special reaction, "Then go quickly! If it really is not good, in any case, we need to let their families see them one last time. "
Huang Quan also chimed in from the side: "That's right! If young miss Zhu has the time to speak with our princess, it would be better to quickly get into the carriage and leave a little earlier. "
Zhu Kongshan furrowed her brow and looked at the two. She could not help but ask: "Is Princess really not afraid of offending people? In any case, those three young misses' families are officials of the court. Why is it that their lives are so worthless in your eyes? "
Feng Yu Heng replied with a question: "Then why is it that the life of a small child is so worthless in their eyes?"
"That … that's different! Moreover, that child did not die! "
"The situation is the same as the original intention. Whether or not he dies is just a matter of time." Feng Yu Heng said: "As for whether or not we'll offend them, hmph, it's never been a win-win situation. Their families have already been offended long ago. It's not that big of a deal."
"When doing things, you need to leave yourself some leeway." Zhu Kongshan quietly said, "Royal Consort Yu should understand this reasoning."
"That's right!" Feng Yu Heng blinked, "When doing things, you need to leave yourself some leeway. Blindly placing your hopes on the Eighth Prince, Zhu family's young miss, don't forget your roots, and don't forget what your surname is." After saying this, she glanced at A-Huan and A-Ruo behind her without leaving a trace. She then ordered for the curtain to be lowered, and the driver began to move, quickly disappearing into the snow.
Only Zhu Kongshan was left behind, watching her leave while thinking about what Feng Yu Heng had said. At this time, she heard the Sheng Palace's servant say: "Young miss, don't listen to the frightening things that Royal Consort Yu said. You are someone that His Highness the eighth prince has taken a liking to. Your riches and honor are still to come!"
Zhu Kongshan nodded, "I understand." Turning around, she returned to her own carriage. As for A-Huan and A-Ruo, they looked at each other and began to ponder …
