generation hero

Feng Hongshen didn't soak in the water for long, and was quickly rescued onto the bamboo raft. It's unknown whether he was frightened or choked on the water. After getting out of the water, he became unconscious and was carried into the queen's bedroom.

Yuan Tang and Feng Hongshen's airship crew knelt on the stone slab outside the hall. Feng Hongshen's oarsmen were his guards, and if he had an accident, the guards would also be held accountable.Yuan Tang's teammates were Shangjun Jun and Tai students, who had already been taken away by King Huan. Only he was punished to kneel outside together because he was Feng Cong's attendant.

The queen was crying in the hall, and the imperial physician surrounded Feng Hongshen to check. The emperor and the queen mother were both in the hall, and Feng Cong stood upright in front of them.

Xiao Shanzhi walked quickly, looked sideways when passing Yuantang, and then entered the palace to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the ship for the exercise has returned to the camp port."

The emperor nodded with a gloomy face, and Xiao Shanzhi retreated to the queen's side.

The queen mother said: "Kneel down."

Feng Cong didn't move at first, but the Queen Mother walked up to Feng Cong, her skirt twisted and made a small rustling sound, she stared at Feng Cong, and for a moment Feng Cong straightened up and knelt down.

"Why do you want to promote Hongshen?" the Queen Mother asked.

Feng Cong said, "He attacked."

"Then you shouldn't push him," said the Queen Mother. "On weekdays, I teach you to be respectful and to be patient. But you, he is your younger brother. If he is wrong, you can discipline him and persuade him. You can tell me and me. your uncle instead of arguing with him for revenge."

"I don't have a younger brother." Feng Cong said.

"What did you say?" The queen mother's voice also became cold.

"He's not my brother, I don't have a brother." Feng Cong said.

Yuan Tang raised his head and could only see Feng Cong's still straight back.Feng Cong was a little different after he came up from Kunyou Lake. Usually at this time, he might justify casually, or he might just say nothing at all, instead of his tone as now, with a hint of frost, as if he was suppressing something.

Because of Feng Cong's words, the palace fell into silence again, and even the queen's crying became quieter.

Xiao Shanzhi stood up from behind the queen and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Hongyi's attack on His Second Highness is not only a dispute between brothers, but murder of the prince. According to my words, it is better to hand it over to Zongzheng..."

"You want to punish Hongyi?" the queen mother asked.

Xiao Shanzhi bowed his head and said: "I dare not, but I feel that this matter involves clan relatives, and it is more appropriate for Zongzheng to deal with it."

The hairpin rings made of gold and jade collided and jingled, the Empress Dowager said to her servant, "A Tao, go get the whip."

Tao Neishi raised his head in surprise: "Your Majesty..."

"Go get it."

The servant hurriedly fetched the whip, and the queen mother took the whip and walked to Feng Cong.

The queen mother said nothing, and a servant came up and took off Feng Cong's coat.

There was also a slanted red mark on Feng Cong's back, from the shoulder to the shoulder blade. The Empress Dowager's eyes touched the red mark, and it flickered. When the first whip was drawn, Feng Cong's arm immediately turned red.

"Why are you always so naughty?" The queen mother scolded.

Tao Neishi and Su Wan rushed forward to persuade the Queen Mother.

"Madam, calm down."

The queen mother was angry, but the emperor sat still, until the queen mother whipped Feng Cong more than a dozen times, he supported the queen mother's arm and said: "The queen mother's phoenix body is important."

The Empress Dowager said: "Let me teach this evil person a good lesson. Your brother is gone and no one disciplines him. Let him be so left-handed. If you don't let me teach him a lesson today, I don't know what trouble he will cause in the future."

emperor:"……"

There were more than a dozen criss-crossing red marks on Feng Cong's body. The queen mother was exhausted and handed the whip to Tao Neishi to continue beating. arms and back.

Feng Cong remained silent, Yuan Tang was a little worried, and frequently looked up.

Although the Queen Mother beat Feng Cong, she was protecting him. It would be better for the Queen Mother to suppress this matter in the palace.The emperor once gave Feng Cong a death order without telling the empress dowager, and later Feng Cong escaped and was brought into the Kangxin Palace by the empress dowager. Heart, there is no guarantee that he will not make use of the problem again.

Feng Hongshen didn't take it for granted, he was the one who attacked Feng Cong first, Feng Cong's approach was too direct, and Feng Hongshen became unconscious after being rescued, which seemed even more serious.

The queen mother scolded Feng Cong just to show the emperor and queen.

The emperor is the empress dowager's son, although the relationship between mother and son is not very good, the emperor always has to show a filial piety in front of others, the empress dowager personally slapped Feng Cong to make a concession, and the emperor wants to rectify Feng Cong Pope, just regardless of his mother's aggressiveness Forced.

However, the emperor didn't seem to want to let Feng Cong go. He stared at Feng Cong with dark eyes, and the corners of his lips moved, but he never said a word.

A person kneeling on the left side of Yuan Tang suddenly bowed to the hall: "I report to Your Majesty, I... have something to report."

The servants in the hall shouted first: "No rude noise."

The man said: "I want to report, I heard His Royal Highness Hongyi was arguing with Second Highness..."

This person was the unlucky ghost who was dragged underwater by Yuan Tang. At that time, the scene was chaotic, and only he and Yuan Tang were the closest to Feng Cong's bamboo raft.

Yuan Tang wondered, what could he hear?

The servant wanted to reprimand again, Xiao Shanzhi stopped the servant and said to the emperor: "Please let him finish speaking, Your Majesty."

The servant asked the man to kneel in the hall, and the man said: "Your Majesty, I heard that His Highness Hongyi was arguing with the Second Highness, and His Highness Hongyi spoke rudely... insulting the Second Highness, and insulting Your Majesty...you."

Xiao Shanzhi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did he say?"

The man said: "Your Highness said... that the Second Highness is so stupid that it's only about status, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is not in the right position..."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face was covered with dark clouds, and his fingers on the lacquer table trembled.

Yuantang thought to himself, how could it be impossible that I didn't hear it.

The Empress Dowager immediately said what Yuan Tang was thinking: "Impossible, it's nonsense, someone, come and take down this thief who slandered the royal family for me."

Her son was still lying on the couch, the queen was not reconciled, and cried and said: "Mother, this is inappropriate..." The queen mother looked up at her, and the queen's voice softened, and she turned to the emperor and cried: "Your Majesty, I beg you to replace Erlang. call the shots."

The servants of the Kangxin Palace stepped forward immediately, and Xiao Shanzhi said: "Slow down, Empress Dowager, what His Royal Highness Hongyi said is suspected of disobedience, if this person is a witness, it is more appropriate to hand over to Zongzheng together."

The Empress Dowager walked up to Xiao Shanzhi with her skirt in her hand, and asked, "Mr. Xiao, you want to meddle in the clan's internal affairs. Who gave you the power, or who did you instigate?" Pazi held his breath, weeping and whimpering.

Xiao Shanzhi hurriedly bowed and said: "I dare not, no one instructs me, but as the second prince's uncle, I have to intervene when I see the second prince being murdered."

Yuan Tang has been paying attention to the situation in the hall. When Xiao Shanzhi got down, the Empress Dowager's eyes fell on him. The Empress Dowager's eyes were calm and bright. Yuan Tang felt a cold air rushing up his neck, and his mind instantly cleared up, and he turned many thoughts.

"He is your nephew and the prince. You are interfering with the emperor's family affairs." The queen mother said.

Xiao Shanzhi just bowed and said he didn't dare.

"Queen," the emperor couldn't help but said, "Are you still going to protect him?"

The queen mother passed Xiao Shanzhi, looked straight at Yuantang, took two steps towards the palace gate, then turned around and said, "Does the emperor want to deal with Hongyi based on this person's one-sided words? I suspect that he deliberately framed Hongyi and was instructed by others. "

"It's a one-sided statement, Empress, don't you see how he treats Hongshen, he clearly harbors a grudge..."

"Emperor!" The queen mother interrupted him suddenly.

The emperor's face was ashen, but facing the queen mother, he had to suppress his anger and emotions.

Yuan Tang was terrified, because he seemed to see a flash of hatred in the emperor's eyes, and Feng Cong always turned his back to him, not knowing what his expression was at this moment.Yuan Tang didn't hesitate any longer, and bowed to the hall: "Report to Your Majesty and Queen Mother, I also heard His Highness Hong Yi and His Second Highness were arguing."

"You..." Xiao Shanzhi turned his head abruptly, wanting to call for someone to stop Yuan Tang.

Yuan Tang said loudly: "I heard His Highness Second Highness speak ill of Prince Wenxi... Second Highness attacked His Highness Hongyi first, and then Prince Wenxi. That's why His Highness Hongyi fought His Highness Second."

Xiao Shanzhi said: "Nonsense, why didn't you say it just now!"

"Because... Wu... I was afraid just now... I didn't expect someone to frame His Highness."

Yuan Tang was restrained by the palace guards, with his cheek pressed against the floor, he saw Feng Cong clenched his fists beside him.

The guard kneeling in the hall hurriedly said: "I have absolutely not framed anyone, please trust me, Your Majesty."

Yuan Tang struggled and said: "He lied, he fell into the water long ago, it is impossible to hear the two Highnesses talking!"

The two quarreled, and the emperor clapped hard.

Yuan Tang leaned against the ground and panted heavily.

All he could think of was Prince Wenxi.

I hope he didn't guess wrong about the meaning of the queen mother. Feng Cong can only rely on the reputation left by the queen mother and Prince Wenxi. The emperor is undoubtedly sensitive to Prince Wenxi, secretive and very concerned, otherwise he would not send someone to kill Feng. gurgling.

The queen mother needed an excuse to excuse Feng Cong, and a reason to make the emperor have nothing to say. As long as the emperor let Feng Cong go, it doesn't matter what others think.

The queen mother stood in the hall, sobbing loudly, everyone in the hall was shocked, the gentle but extremely strong queen mother burst into tears.

The emperor said in surprise: "Mother, you..."

The queen mother hid her tears with a handkerchief and said, "I remember you were naughty when you were a child. I wanted to beat you, but your brother always stood in front of you and protected you."

The emperor's complexion changed, and he seemed to be thinking of the past, but it was obvious that the remaining anger had not dissipated, and the atmosphere froze for a moment. , I made my mother sad."

The emperor helped the empress dowager back to the couch, and the empress dowager supported the emperor's shoulders, and said warmly: "Hongyi is the only blood left by your brother, he has no support, even if it is for the friendship that your brother brought you in the past, for me, don't Hold him accountable."

She looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, and held the emperor's hand tightly. The mother and son seemed to be recounting the old family relationship, but also seemed to be confronting each other.

The emperor was on the verge of getting angry and reminiscing, but was finally defeated by the empress dowager's attack, he let out a turbid sigh.

The queen mother withdrew her hand and told the servants to stop beating Feng Cong, and helped Feng Cong get up. Feng Cong's body was covered with scars, and he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

The queen was still not reconciled and said: "Empress Dowager, Erlang is also your grandson, how can you be so partial. You can't indulge Hongyi like this just because Prince Wenxi has passed away. He clearly wanted Hongshen's life just now!"

The queen mother said to the queen in a voice that was hoarse from crying: "Queen, you should know that both brothers are at fault in this matter. I am biased or you are biased. You know in your heart that it was Hongshen who took the initiative. , attacking from behind, all the courtiers saw it. As for connivance... don't you connive Hongshen, if Hongyi's father is still there, would your son dare to sneak up on Hongyi from behind?"

Leaving behind a heart-warming speech, the queen mother walked out of the hall, and Yuan Tang was finally freed from the shackles, and followed behind the driver with the support of Su Wan.

Back to Kangxin Hall.

The queen mother asked all the palace people to leave, leaving only Tao Nei, Su Wan, and Yuan Tang standing in the corner.

After closing the door, the Queen Mother said to Feng Cong, "Kneel down for me."

Yuan Tang was about to kneel again when he heard this, but saw that the queen mother was not at all calm and composed in the queen's palace just now, and looked at Feng Cong with anger.

Feng Cong didn't resist this time, and bent his knees easily.

Su Wan went up to help the Empress Dowager, but was waved away by the Empress Dowager.

"You did this on purpose, really thought I wouldn't do anything to you?"

Feng Cong said calmly, "Please deal with me, Queen Mother."

The queen mother's breath fluctuated several times, looked at Feng Cong, and said, "You are fine. From today onwards, you will stay in Liuxiang Jusi. Without my permission, you can't go anywhere."
