Chapter 78
"There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, and you don't know the heart." Feng Yu put down the pen in his hand, stared at the words on the rice paper in a daze, until there was a regular knock on the door, he hurriedly took a blank sheet covered with rice paper.
"Is it Ming Chen, come in." Feng Yu coughed lightly.
Gu Mingchen outside the door opened the door and entered the room, and said politely: "Your Highness." Feng Yu sighed, since Gu Mingchen became Prime Minister Xie's disciple, he became more and more polite.Obviously, not long ago, he was still holding a bun named Xiaohong, but in the blink of an eye, he became a 14-year-old boy.
"Why do you want to come to me today?" As soon as he said this, Feng Yu realized that his tone was wrong.Just about to make amends, Gu Mingchen said as if nothing happened: "Sister said she made something delicious, let me call you."
Feng Yu couldn't laugh or cry when she heard the words, the situation in Beijing has changed a lot in recent years, one is to go out of the palace to build a mansion by herself.Whenever the prince goes out of the palace to build a mansion, he must get married, Feng Yu doesn't care about it, and with the lessons learned from the Zhao family's relatives intervening in politics, he naturally doesn't want to become a tool for others.Therefore, he conspired with Prime Minister Xie to choose a frail daughter of the Xie family as his concubine. Unexpectedly, the daughter of the Xie family died within ten days after entering the house.Feng Yu also used this to temporarily force back some people who forced him to marry.The second thing was that Gu Mingchen, who was only fourteen years old, became the youngest number one scholar in Nanze. Unfortunately, Gu Hanzhao and the others were traveling around and their whereabouts were erratic. I'm afraid they won't be able to get the good news in time.
Since there are changes, there are also constants. The only constant in Fengshouzhou is probably Gu Mingchen's gluttony that does not match his appearance as always.
The elder sister that Gu Mingchen spoke of was Zhou Tan, one of Feng Yu's side concubines. If Zhao Rujin was still alive, he would probably recognize Zhou Tan as the woman who sang in the teahouse that day.Zhou Tan was originally one of the hidden guards. In recent years, Feng Yu's weight in the court has become more and more important, and he is faintly superior to other princes. Therefore, some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have, and Feng Yu can't help being disturbed , simply gave Zhou Tan a false identity and carried him into the mansion.As for Feng Yu's other side concubine, she did the same. It was Zhou Tan's younger sister, Zhou Ruan, the woman who appeared in the women's branch together with Zhou Tan.
The two of them had been with him for many years, and they were aware of his feelings for Gu Mingchen earlier than he himself, and they often used excuses to play tricks on themselves.But the two of them really liked Gu Mingchen.
He and Gu Mingchen have been walking all the way. It was just a friendship when they were young, but somehow it changed, and when he realized it, he was already deeply involved in it and couldn't extricate himself.
As for Gu Mingchen, he doesn't have many friends, and there are only a few in detail.Among them, the best one with him is naturally Feng Yu who grew up with him, so he always thinks it is justifiable for him to rely on the other party.
Feng Yu shook his head and led him out of the room. Zhou Tan had already prepared food and put it in the pavilion in the prince's mansion. The pavilion was built under a peach blossom tree, which was as high as the tree.Perhaps due to the influence of his parents, Gu Mingchen prefers peach trees to the pine trees that gentlemen admire.
When the flowers are in bloom, the petals can be used to make wine or make cakes, and when they are finished, they can be eaten as fresh peaches or made into preserved fruits.In short, for him, it is inseparable from a word of eating.
The Zhou sisters are outstanding in appearance, the elder sister is petite and exquisite, more like a person from Nanze, and the younger sister is more gorgeous, with a bit of Beiyuan's shadow.Maybe it's Ai Wu and Wu, they both love Gu Mingchen very much, and they often prepare some novel food to invite him to come.
The four of them were making tea in the pavilion, when a servant stepped forward and whispered something to Feng Yu.Feng Yu waved the other party back when he heard the words, and seeing the young servant leave, he said: "Someone is coming from the palace, I will go back as soon as I go."
When Feng Yu returned to the room, he saw Cao Manjiang was waiting outside.
"Chief Cao." There was alienation in Feng Yu's eyes, and it was not until he entered the room with Cao Manjiang that he calmed down.
"Your Highness." Cao Manjiang said anxiously, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it."
Feng Yu is the old god, and he is not panicked by Cao Manjiang at all. Seeing him like this, Cao Manjiang calmed down.Only then did Feng Yu Shi Shiran speak: "But what did Zhao Wuxia notice?"
After Cao Manjiang helped Zhao Wuxia recuperate his body, he gradually gained her trust, and Zhao Wuxia kept his promise and pushed him to the head of the Imperial Hospital.It's just that after so many years, Zhao Wuxia's stomach has not moved, and she no longer trusts Cao Manjiang as much as before.Cao Manjiang kept procrastinating with excuses. If he hadn't had a lot of status in front of Emperor Xuanwu, Zhao Wuxia would have done something to him long ago.
"In the past few years, Zhao Wuxia has become more and more suspicious of me. I am worried..." Feng Yu pondered for a moment after hearing the words, "You don't have to worry, try to push it until after the Feng Dynasty Festival. Zhao Wuxia went around looking for famous doctors a while ago, The results obtained are all good. Although she has doubts, she will not do anything for the time being. When my people enter the palace, I will arrange for you to escape and leave Nanze." Cao Manjiang was also slightly relieved after hearing this.
Zhao Wuxia had just been made a noble concubine a year ago, and gradually divided some of the power in Queen Zhao's hands into her own hands, which caused Queen Zhao's lineage to grit their teeth at her.It's a pity, because Cao Manjiang recommended by Zhao Wuxia held a lot of weight in front of Emperor Xuanwu, so Empress Zhao's several stumbling blocks were easily resolved by her.
The only thing that makes Zhao Wuxia helpless is that no matter how favored she is in the harem, she can't replace Zhao Chong's weakness in the court. Uncle Zhao Guo has been in the camp for many years, and after all, Zhao Chong, an incompetent person like Zhao Chong, cannot match.
Zhao Wuxia sat in the room with his right hand resting on his lower abdomen, frowning and looking at Cao Manjiang who was taking his pulse, his expression changed.After the other party withdrew his hand and showed a troubled expression, she asked slightly angrily, "How?"
Cao Manjiang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. After a while, he followed Feng Yu's instructions and replied: "The empress' body still needs some time to recuperate."
Zhao Wuxia was furious when she heard the words, and Cao Manjiang stood up and knelt at her feet in fright. If it wasn't for her identity, Zhao Wuxia would have kicked her over long ago: "It will take some time! Even today, the head of Cao Yuan still takes These words are used to perfunctory Bengong! Chief Cao, don’t forget, this palace can help you ascend to the position of the chief, and can also bring you down! Then you will not lose the position of a mere chief!” Cao Manjiang knelt He didn't dare to speak on the ground, and he naturally understood what Zhao Wuxia meant by saying that he was threatening his life.
But Cao Manjiang also understands that Zhao Wuxia can only talk about it now. Although he has no merits with her, he is very valuable to Emperor Xuanwu.Emperor Xuanwu has been in his hands for these years, and his body has gradually become healthy, and he can have intercourse without any drugs to enhance pleasure.The medicines given to Emperor Xuanwu were all passed through Feng Yu's hands. Although Cao Manjiang didn't know the properties of these medicines, he could somewhat guess that these medicines were by no means purely for nourishing the body, but Emperor Xuanwu took them for many years, and no imperial physician found out. , I think Feng Yu has already opened up all the joints.
The corners of Cao Manjiang's mouth twitched slightly, and he tried his best to suppress the trembling in his heart and replied: "If your mother doesn't believe in this minister, you can ask other imperial physicians for diagnosis and treatment. This minister has absolutely nothing to say to your mother."
It's not that Zhao Wuxia hasn't invited other imperial physicians or well-known folk doctors to treat her, but the results are the same as what Cao Manjiang said, otherwise she wouldn't delay in dealing with Cao Manjiang.
"I will trust you once more! Step back." Zhao Wuxia waved tiredly, Cao Manjiang hurriedly got up and left after seeing this.
On the other side, when Feng Yu returned to the pavilion, there was no sign of Gu Mingchen, only the Zhou sisters were left looking at him with charming smiles.Feng Yu was used to being teased by them, so she didn't care about it, and just sat down in her seat.
"Who is Your Highness looking for when you come back in such a hurry?" Zhou Ruan was more courageous, and Feng Yu was not a harsh master, so she couldn't help being funny when she got the chance.
Feng Yu was helpless, he also knew their temperament, the more serious they became, the more vigorous they became, so he simply didn't say anything, just took a piece of snack and tasted it.
Seeing that he ignored her, Zhou Ruan was not discouraged, covered her lips and said with a smile: "It's really pitiful for that soft-hearted child. He was worried that His Highness would be hungry, so he deliberately stayed for food. But he didn't want to say a word because his heart was so hard. Sigh, sigh." Seeing this, Zhou Tan didn't stop his sisters, but snickered aside.
Feng Yu was startled when she heard the words, and then the corners of her lips curled into a smile uncontrollably.
The Zhou sisters looked at each other, seeing him like this, they didn't point it out, and instead laughed lightly.
In the end, it was Zhou Tan who had important matters to discuss with Feng Yu, and he was the first to stop smiling.
"Your Highness, news came from the secret guard outside the fifth prince's mansion this morning." Zhou Tan said solemnly.This Feng Sheng has been keeping a low profile ever since he came back from Baidi City, taking care of the Fifth Prince's mansion like an iron bucket.The people who waited on him were all the old people of the Zhao family, so they had nowhere to put people in. Feng Yu had no choice but to order the secret guards to keep an eye on the fifth prince's mansion all the time.
Seeing his expression as usual, Zhou Tan continued: "The secret guard said that he seemed to hear the commotion in the mansion at midnight yesterday, and then a servant brought out a roll of quilts. Our people followed the servant to the mass grave. After people left, they saw that there was a female corpse wrapped in the quilt." Zhou Tan just finished speaking, and Zhou Ruan took up the conversation. She was more straightforward than Zhou Tan, and immediately said angrily: "The corpse is full of whip marks. It looks like it died before death. It should have been tortured."
Feng Yu frowned when she heard the words, with a look of disgust on her face, and then asked: "Only this one?" Zhou Ruan had hidden in the fireworks field anyway, and saw more than ordinary women, and then thought of the fifth prince Immediately understood the inhumane news, and vowed: "There is indeed only one. Our people have been lying in ambush outside the fifth prince's mansion for a long time, and we will never miss it!"
Regarding the ability of the hidden guard, Feng Yu never doubted it, but after thinking about it carefully, according to the fifth prince's temperament, he would not have endured for so many years before he did something inferior to a beast.But they hadn't discovered it before, and they thought that the previous victims either buried their bones in the fifth prince's mansion directly, or sent them out secretly by some means.
"Let the hidden guards pay more attention these few days, and see if there is anything sent from the fifth prince's mansion." Zhou Tan nodded in response.
Feng Yu played with the teacup in his hand, thinking carefully.His people didn't find out about the change in the fifth prince's mansion until last night, which shows that Feng Sheng has been hiding this matter very successfully.But why did he transport the female body out of the Prince's Mansion yesterday regardless of the danger of being discovered by others.There seemed to be a commotion in Fengsheng's mansion yesterday, Feng Yu's mind was exquisite, and she quickly thought through it.
Feng Sheng's main concubine is the daughter of the empress dowager's mother's family. At the beginning, this marriage was arranged by Empress Zhao through all means.I'm afraid that the noise in the fifth prince's mansion tonight is likely to be that the concubine discovered Feng Sheng's actions.Speaking of this daughter-in-law Feng Yu, he remembered the time when he went to the Plum Garden with Xie Min when he was young. The evil master and evil servant became the only impression he had of that garden, but thinking about it now, he felt a little fortunate that he was there with her. Gu Mingchen met.
Zhou Tan and Zhou Ruan looked at each other, and seeing Feng Yu's eyes softened, he knew that he was thinking of that one again.
Empress Zhao learned the news a little earlier than Feng Yu. In fact, when Feng Sheng found out that his deeds had been exposed, he wanted to let people pass the news to the palace.It's just that the gate of the palace has already been locked, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can only sit in the room, frowning until dawn.
Feng Sheng never expected that someone would break in. He still remembers the shocked expression on his concubine's face when she opened the door, and the trembling voice pointing at himself and cursing.Like a vulgar woman of low status, she scolded herself with the most vicious language, and all her usual gentle pretense faded away.Feng Sheng might feel ashamed at first, but soon he was robbed of all his reason by the scolding. He is the high prince and the future master of Nanze, no one can insult him and despise him.
With Feng Sheng's courage, he didn't dare to touch the fifth prince and concubine immediately, so he could only hastily ordered someone to take him under house arrest, and then used the excuse that the prince and concubine was suffering from the wind and cold to stop everyone from prying eyes.Feng Sheng stayed up all night, and his face was ugly. His temperament had become more and more gloomy in the past few years. Now his eyes are black and bloodshot, and the flesh on his cheeks has disappeared. Even Queen Zhao saw He was also taken aback by this appearance.
"Son." Empress Zhao said distressedly: "What is going on here.
Feng Sheng was like a frightened bird, avoiding Queen Zhao's sight, and whispered: "I've been seen, I've been seen, I'm done."
At this time, Empress Zhao didn't know what happened, but seeing him like this, she was also worried, and hurriedly comforted: "What did you see? My son, you don't need to panic, everything is due to the mother and concubine!"
When Feng Sheng heard the words, it was as if a drowning man had grabbed a driftwood, and immediately took Queen Zhao's hand and knelt down in front of her, and said everything in one go.Empress Zhao felt dizzy for a while, she never imagined that her favorite child would do such a thing.
Seeing Empress Zhao standing there in a daze, Feng Sheng panicked and said: "Concubine Mother! It's none of my business. I don't want to. It's all that bitch! It's that bitch!" Being able to hold it back for a long time, seeing Feng Sheng still looking crazy, he was a little at a loss.It is not known whether the bitch Feng Sheng scolded was the innocent woman who was tortured to death, or the fifth prince and concubine who discovered Feng Sheng's evil deeds.
"Enough!" Empress Zhao suddenly said loudly, Feng Sheng was taken aback, but still calmed down, looking at Empress Zhao anxiously.Empress Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said: "Since the incident has happened, it is time to think of a solution. This matter must never be known to your Yue family. No matter what method you use, the concubine must seal the insider away." mouth!" Then he said: "But don't hurt her life." Although the mother and son didn't say it clearly, they knew who the insider was referring to.What Empress Zhao thought was to stabilize the person no matter what, as for the follow-up, she had to discuss with Uncle Zhao Guo.
Having received the order from Empress Zhao, Feng Sheng no longer panicked, and his heart calmed down a bit.Although Empress Zhao comforted the other party, the worry in her eyes did not fade at all. Zhao Wuxia had a lot of her rights in the palace in the past few years.In order to compete with Zhao Wuxia for favor, she also ordered the Zhao family to try their best to invite famous doctors, but after so many years, there was little effect.And her only son didn't want to make progress since Baidi came back. Empress Zhao's eyes flashed sharply. She didn't want to go that way unless she had to, but seeing the current situation, she had to inform the Zhao family in advance to make preparations. .As for the fifth concubine, Empress Zhao frowned, she must keep this matter a secret, and when Feng Sheng ascended to the Great Treasure, it was enough to make her a queen.
Feng Sheng came in a hurry, even if he deliberately concealed his whereabouts, Zhao Wuxia knew about it. Zhao Wuxia knew about it later than Feng Yu. Although he had many eyes and ears in the palace, he was blind outside the palace. Palace's purpose, but suffer from no news.
After instructing Fengsheng to be careful, Queen Zhao passed the news to Uncle Zhao, but her words were flashing, and she only said that Fengsheng and his wife had some conflicts, and asked Uncle Zhao to try to stabilize the Queen Mother's family.When Uncle Zhao received the news, he knew that Feng Sheng had caused trouble, and immediately his face turned ugly. His nephew was more than successful, but he could only do his best to keep the honor of the Zhao family.
This matter seemed to be suppressed like this, and it couldn't stir up any waves in Fengshouzhou. Feng Yu didn't intervene, and just watched as if he was a bystander.On the contrary, Sister Zhou Tan followed him for a long time, knowing that he was full of bad things and was secretly planning something.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Fengchao Festival, and because Gu Hanzhao and the others were away all year round, they only came back at the end of the year.Therefore, Gu Mingchen spent the Fengchao Festival with Fengyu all these years. As for Lu's mother, she is getting older and her health is getting worse. Now she stays in Gu's mansion all day to take care of her life and rarely goes out. .
Gu Mingchen has reached the age of growing his body, his body is slowly twitching, and the flesh on his face has also disappeared a lot, but compared with Feng Yu who is about to reach his crown, he is still too short, barely reaching his shoulders.Although Gu Mingchen didn't show it on the surface, he still cared a little in his heart. Feng Yu grew up with him and knew his thoughts the most clearly, but he knew it in his heart but never revealed it.
Although the Fengchao Festival was lively, it was also dangerous. Feng Yu carefully protected Gu Mingchen all the way, and the servants around him did not dare to be careless, and they were always in a tense attitude.
The two finally squeezed to the shore under the escort of the servants. At this time, the colorful boat had already sailed halfway, and the dancing posture of the dancer attracted everyone on the shore to applaud.Feng Yu didn't pay attention to those graceful dancers, but kept staring at Gu Mingchen's profile.
It wasn't until Gu Mingchen noticed his gaze that he hurriedly turned his head. At this time, the colorful boats behind had already sailed out. Originally, everyone's thoughts were on those charming ladies, but the situation suddenly changed.
"It fell into the water! Someone fell into the water!" Someone yelled in a high-pitched voice, and when Gu Mingchen came back to his senses, he saw a big splash on the surface of the lake, and the clothes of the few people near the shore were all splashed wet.
Unlike Gu Mingchen's ignorance, Feng Yu knows everything about today's situation, even including his handwriting.It's just that he didn't expect that woman to be so violent, but immediately Feng Yu figured out what she was thinking.What's the use of being loved when she's not out of the court, she's married to Feng Sheng now, even if her natal family knows about these things, she can only live with them.Since the mother's family can't stand up for her, she can only resort to risky tactics. The bigger the incident, the better for her. As for the Zhao family, they still dare not risk the world to attack her.
Gu Mingchen and Feng Yu were not far from the place where the man fell into the water, and Gu Mingchen's sleeves were even stained with water.The woman was quickly rescued, and the wet clothes were tightly attached to her body, outlining her rectified figure. Seeing this, a kind-hearted person took a robe and put it on her body.
"Ma'am...why are you so overwhelmed?!" The servant girl next to her was terrified, but the people beside her couldn't help being curious. Rather than saying that the servant girl was worried, it would be better to say she was frightened.
Seeing the maidservant's attitude, the woman felt a little joy in her heart, Feng Sheng had placed people beside her, and this maidservant was one of them.Now it's not good for the other party to spy on me, I'm afraid my life will be lost, but so what, how can the life of a servant compare to hers.
The woman didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the servant girl, she just sneered when she heard the words, and said sinisterly: "How can you tell me to think about it."
The author has something to say: This author is lazy and left nothing behind.
Ah, by the way, do you guys want to watch Wei Lin's episode? If not, I won't write it.
"Is it Ming Chen, come in." Feng Yu coughed lightly.
Gu Mingchen outside the door opened the door and entered the room, and said politely: "Your Highness." Feng Yu sighed, since Gu Mingchen became Prime Minister Xie's disciple, he became more and more polite.Obviously, not long ago, he was still holding a bun named Xiaohong, but in the blink of an eye, he became a 14-year-old boy.
"Why do you want to come to me today?" As soon as he said this, Feng Yu realized that his tone was wrong.Just about to make amends, Gu Mingchen said as if nothing happened: "Sister said she made something delicious, let me call you."

Our people have been lying in ambush outside the fifth prince's mansion for a long time, and we will never miss it!"
Regarding the ability of the hidden guard, Feng Yu never doubted it, but after thinking about it carefully, according to the fifth prince's temperament, he would not have endured for so many years before he did something inferior to a beast.But they hadn't discovered it before, and they thought that the previous victims either buried their bones in the fifth prince's mansion directly, or sent them out secretly by some means.
"Let the hidden guards pay more attention these few days, and see if there is anything sent from the fifth prince's mansion." Zhou Tan nodded in response.
Feng Yu played with the teacup in his hand, thinking carefully.His people didn't find out about the change in the fifth prince's mansion until last night, which shows that Feng Sheng has been hiding this matter very successfully.But why did he transport the female body out of the Prince's Mansion yesterday regardless of the danger of being discovered by others.There seemed to be a commotion in Fengsheng's mansion yesterday, Feng Yu's mind was exquisite, and she quickly thought through it.
Feng Sheng's main concubine is the daughter of the empress dowager's mother's family. At the beginning, this marriage was arranged by Empress Zhao through all means.I'm afraid that the noise in the fifth prince's mansion tonight is likely to be that the concubine discovered Feng Sheng's actions.Speaking of this daughter-in-law Feng Yu, he remembered the time when he went to the Plum Garden with Xie Min when he was young. The evil master and evil servant became the only impression he had of that garden, but thinking about it now, he felt a little fortunate that he was there with her. Gu Mingchen met.
Zhou Tan and Zhou Ruan looked at each other, and seeing Feng Yu's eyes softened, he knew that he was thinking of that one again.
Empress Zhao learned the news a little earlier than Feng Yu. In fact, when Feng Sheng found out that his deeds had been exposed, he wanted to let people pass the news to the palace.It's just that the gate of the palace has already been locked, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can only sit in the room, frowning until dawn.
Feng Sheng never expected that someone would break in. He still remembers the shocked expression on his concubine's face when she opened the door, and the trembling voice pointing at himself and cursing.Like a vulgar woman of low status, she scolded herself with the most vicious language, and all her usual gentle pretense faded away.Feng Sheng might feel ashamed at first, but soon he was robbed of all his reason by the scolding. He is the high prince and the future master of Nanze, no one can insult him and despise him.
With Feng Sheng's courage, he didn't dare to touch the fifth prince and concubine immediately, so he could only hastily ordered someone to take him under house arrest, and then used the excuse that the prince and concubine was suffering from the wind and cold to stop everyone from prying eyes.Feng Sheng stayed up all night, and his face was ugly. His temperament had become more and more gloomy in the past few years. Now his eyes are black and bloodshot, and the flesh on his cheeks has disappeared. Even Queen Zhao saw He was also taken aback by this appearance.
"Son." Empress Zhao said distressedly: "What is going on here.
Feng Sheng was like a frightened bird, avoiding Queen Zhao's sight, and whispered: "I've been seen, I've been seen, I'm done."
At this time, Empress Zhao didn't know what happened, but seeing him like this, she was also worried, and hurriedly comforted: "What did you see? My son, you don't need to panic, everything is due to the mother and concubine!"
When Feng Sheng heard the words, it was as if a drowning man had grabbed a driftwood, and immediately took Queen Zhao's hand and knelt down in front of her, and said everything in one go.Empress Zhao felt dizzy for a while, she never imagined that her favorite child would do such a thing.
Seeing Empress Zhao standing there in a daze, Feng Sheng panicked and said: "Concubine Mother! It's none of my business. I don't want to. It's all that bitch! It's that bitch!" Being able to hold it back for a long time, seeing Feng Sheng still looking crazy, he was a little at a loss.It is not known whether the bitch Feng Sheng scolded was the innocent woman who was tortured to death, or the fifth prince and concubine who discovered Feng Sheng's evil deeds.
"Enough!" Empress Zhao suddenly said loudly, Feng Sheng was taken aback, but still calmed down, looking at Empress Zhao anxiously.Empress Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said: "Since the incident has happened, it is time to think of a solution. This matter must never be known to your Yue family. No matter what method you use, the concubine must seal the insider away." mouth!" Then he said: "But don't hurt her life." Although the mother and son didn't say it clearly, they knew who the insider was referring to.What Empress Zhao thought was to stabilize the person no matter what, as for the follow-up, she had to discuss with Uncle Zhao Guo.
Having received the order from Empress Zhao, Feng Sheng no longer panicked, and his heart calmed down a bit.Although Empress Zhao comforted the other party, the worry in her eyes did not fade at all. Zhao Wuxia had a lot of her rights in the palace in the past few years.In order to compete with Zhao Wuxia for favor, she also ordered the Zhao family to try their best to invite famous doctors, but after so many years, there was little effect.And her only son didn't want to make progress since Baidi came back. Empress Zhao's eyes flashed sharply. She didn't want to go that way unless she had to, but seeing the current situation, she had to inform the Zhao family in advance to make preparations. .As for the fifth concubine, Empress Zhao frowned, she must keep this matter a secret, and when Feng Sheng ascended to the Great Treasure, it was enough to make her a queen.
Feng Sheng came in a hurry, even if he deliberately concealed his whereabouts, Zhao Wuxia knew about it. Zhao Wuxia knew about it later than Feng Yu. Although he had many eyes and ears in the palace, he was blind outside the palace. Palace's purpose, but suffer from no news.
After instructing Fengsheng to be careful, Queen Zhao passed the news to Uncle Zhao, but her words were flashing, and she only said that Fengsheng and his wife had some conflicts, and asked Uncle Zhao to try to stabilize the Queen Mother's family.When Uncle Zhao received the news, he knew that Feng Sheng had caused trouble, and immediately his face turned ugly. His nephew was more than successful, but he could only do his best to keep the honor of the Zhao family.
This matter seemed to be suppressed like this, and it couldn't stir up any waves in Fengshouzhou. Feng Yu didn't intervene, and just watched as if he was a bystander.On the contrary, Sister Zhou Tan followed him for a long time, knowing that he was full of bad things and was secretly planning something.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Fengchao Festival, and because Gu Hanzhao and the others were away all year round, they only came back at the end of the year.Therefore, Gu Mingchen spent the Fengchao Festival with Fengyu all these years. As for Lu's mother, she is getting older and her health is getting worse. Now she stays in Gu's mansion all day to take care of her life and rarely goes out. .
Gu Mingchen has reached the age of growing his body, his body is slowly twitching, and the flesh on his face has also disappeared a lot, but compared with Feng Yu who is about to reach his crown, he is still too short, barely reaching his shoulders.Although Gu Mingchen didn't show it on the surface, he still cared a little in his heart. Feng Yu grew up with him and knew his thoughts the most clearly, but he knew it in his heart but never revealed it.
Although the Fengchao Festival was lively, it was also dangerous. Feng Yu carefully protected Gu Mingchen all the way, and the servants around him did not dare to be careless, and they were always in a tense attitude.
The two finally squeezed to the shore under the escort of the servants. At this time, the colorful boat had already sailed halfway, and the dancing posture of the dancer attracted everyone on the shore to applaud.Feng Yu didn't pay attention to those graceful dancers, but kept staring at Gu Mingchen's profile.
It wasn't until Gu Mingchen noticed his gaze that he hurriedly turned his head. At this time, the colorful boats behind had already sailed out. Originally, everyone's thoughts were on those charming ladies, but the situation suddenly changed.
"It fell into the water! Someone fell into the water!" Someone yelled in a high-pitched voice, and when Gu Mingchen came back to his senses, he saw a big splash on the surface of the lake, and the clothes of the few people near the shore were all splashed wet.
Unlike Gu Mingchen's ignorance, Feng Yu knows everything about today's situation, even including his handwriting.It's just that he didn't expect that woman to be so violent, but immediately Feng Yu figured out what she was thinking.What's the use of being loved when she's not out of the court, she's married to Feng Sheng now, even if her natal family knows about these things, she can only live with them.Since the mother's family can't stand up for her, she can only resort to risky tactics. The bigger the incident, the better for her. As for the Zhao family, they still dare not risk the world to attack her.
Gu Mingchen and Feng Yu were not far from the place where the man fell into the water, and Gu Mingchen's sleeves were even stained with water.The woman was quickly rescued, and the wet clothes were tightly attached to her body, outlining her rectified figure. Seeing this, a kind-hearted person took a robe and put it on her body.
"Ma'am...why are you so overwhelmed?!" The servant girl next to her was terrified, but the people beside her couldn't help being curious. Rather than saying that the servant girl was worried, it would be better to say she was frightened.
Seeing the maidservant's attitude, the woman felt a little joy in her heart, Feng Sheng had placed people beside her, and this maidservant was one of them.Now it's not good for the other party to spy on me, I'm afraid my life will be lost, but so what, how can the life of a servant compare to hers.
The woman didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the servant girl, she just sneered when she heard the words, and said sinisterly: "How can you tell me to think about it."
The author has something to say: This author is lazy and left nothing behind.
