Chapter 10 Tell the truth
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became weird, Feng Xingsu lowered his head and pretended to be transparent, Zhou Bingqian looked at Xiao Bairan and Xiao Peixue in embarrassment, as if he was at a loss what to do.

Xiao Bairan's face changed rapidly, and there were countless storms gathering and dispersing in his deep eyes.The hands under the sleeves clenched into fists, he gritted his teeth and shouted word by word: "I said, don't mention her again!"

"Unless you kill me! Otherwise, I can't do it." Xiao Peixue still raised her chin, her rebellious appearance was very much like Xiao Bairan back then.

Feng Youruo looked at her, eyes filled with mist: It turns out that she is good, and someone still remembers her...

Everyone in the palace looked at this bold and reckless eldest princess in horror, wondering what would happen to her: the maid who mentioned Yanhou last time was boiled and fed to the dogs, and the little eunuch who accidentally praised Yanhou for being smart was cut by fish scales.No matter how noble the eldest princess is, she will not escape punishment!

Former empress Yan Feiyi, the biggest taboo in Yungong.

Zhou Bingqian lowered her eyes, covering her eyes with pride: finally forced Xiao Peixue to provoke Xiao Bairan, hehe...

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were about to turn against each other, Feng Youruo suddenly knelt down: "The emperor calms down, the eldest princess calms down. This matter is all caused by the minister, if the royal family loses peace with the minister because of this, the crime will be serious!"

How could Xiao Bairan be willing to send Pei Xue back to Lancheng?Feng Youruo's words undoubtedly set him up a step, and he took advantage of the situation and said, "For Miss Feng's sake, I won't argue with you! Step back, you don't have to deal with being so ignorant and courteous!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Peixue snorted coldly, turned around and left.

How important Jiji is to a woman, let alone a princess of a country!After the Jiji ceremony, the princess's marriage will be put on the agenda. By then, Peixue's reputation will be ruined. How can she marry a good family?Zhou Bingqian is so vicious that she wants to ruin Peixue's life!
"Your Majesty, it's my servant who accidentally stepped on the moss on the stone and fell into the water, it has nothing to do with the eldest princess!" Feng Youruo said.

Xiao Peixue, who had already reached the entrance of the hall, paused when she heard the words, and turned her head to look at Feng Youruo who was kneeling in the center of the hall in disbelief.

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Feng Youruo one after another, Xiao Bairan asked: "What did you say?"

"It's because the servant girl accidentally stepped on the moss that she fell into the water, and it has nothing to do with the eldest princess." Feng Youruo repeated while crawling on the ground, deliberately highlighting the word moss.

The imperial garden is a place for the emperor to enjoy flowers and have fun. Everything needs to be carefully cared for. Before the palace banquet, it must be strictly managed. How can there be slippery things like moss?
Feng Xingsu looked at Feng Youruo, and frowned calmly.

Zhou Bingqian finally raised her eyes when she heard the words, and looked at the weak woman below the jade steps: "Miss Feng..."

Feng Youruo raised her head: "Please ask the emperor and queen to investigate clearly, and restore the eldest princess's innocence!"

"This……"

"Pull over!"

Zhou Bingqian was still hesitating, but Xiao Bairan stepped down the jade steps with a big wave of his hand and went outside the hall.Zhou Bingqian turned her head and gave Feng Youruo a meaningful look, then hurriedly followed.

Feng Youruo stood up, crossed Feng Xingsu and followed with a calm expression.

The water in the spring river is warm, the scenery in the imperial garden is charming, the sun is shining brightly on the edge of the imperial lake, and the level is like a mirror.

The moss on the white stone has been removed, but the blue mark is still there.Feng Youruo stepped forward and pointed to the stones and said, "Your Majesty, my servant stepped on this stone at that time. The eldest princess intended to pull me, but unfortunately she didn't. Instead, I was misunderstood and pushed my daughter, yes The courtier has implicated the eldest princess!"

"Nonsense, where is the moss?" Zhou Bingqian snorted coldly.

"Probably the maid was removed after she fell into the water, but the blue traces on it are still a good proof. The moss has a special method of reproduction. Since it has fallen, it will leave seeds. After a few days of watering under the shade, the moss will grow. If you don't believe me, empress, you might as well give it a try and see if your daughter's guess is correct." Feng Youruo said.

Zhou Bingqian leaned forward, and there was indeed a residual blue color on the stone. She was good at medicine and understood the characteristics of bryophytes.However, what does this mean?It's just growing moss!She smiled and said, "The lakeside is wet, and it's normal for moss to grow on the rocks. It's just that Guan Yuanzi didn't remove the moss in time and caused Miss Feng to fall into the water. It's my mismanagement. I apologize to Miss Feng here."

"Your Majesty, you are serious." Feng Youruo was blessed, and looked at Xiao Bairan, "Dare to ask the emperor, these stones by the Yuhu Lake are the stones of Xiqiang Ice Lake?"

"That's right, it's the ice lake stone." Xiao Bairan nodded.

"Ice lake stones are mostly white, with graceful posture and few edges and corners, and the best ones are as beautiful as jade. Another feature of ice lake stones is that they are not easy to grow moss, so they are most suitable for garden decoration. Children and the elderly will not step on the moss when they play Wrestling. These icy lake stones by the Yuhu Lake are all high-grade, will not grow moss, and have a higher degree of safety. Why did moss grow suddenly?" Feng Youruo said slowly, "These stones that the minister stepped on are the most In Xiangyang, since the stone is big and not in the water, it is impossible to grow moss on the stone surface in such an environment. Even if it wants to grow, it should grow from the bottom of the stone, not just on the Xiangyang side!"

Xiao Bairan's expression froze, he glanced at Ji Gonggong, Ji Gonggong went up to check and said: "Going back to the emperor, it is exactly as Miss Feng said."

Then there is only one possibility, man-made!

"Tan Ruo was not the little girl who went to the lake to play with me that day, but someone else..." Feng Xingsu stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, and his face showed a look of horror.

"Ordinary people step on it. As long as they are not pregnant, it's okay. At most, they choke like a court lady. However, the court lady heard that Concubine Ye Gui was pregnant until July. It was also because she stepped on the moss and fell down that the mother and child were injured." Both died. The court lady thinks that the imperial property in the palace should be properly managed." Feng Youruo said.

As soon as this remark came out, the threat of Moss was raised several levels in an instant.Right now, there is a noble lady named Xu who is pregnant in the palace, who also came to the palace banquet that day, if it was Xu who stepped on the stone...

Xiao Bairan's heart sank, and he looked at Zhou Bingqian: "Queen, why is there moss on the ice lake stone?"

"This... the concubine doesn't know either!" Zhou Bingqian looked blank, but she was surprised by Feng Youruo in her heart. How good Feng Youruo was able to see through her tricks, she underestimated her!

"In those few days, the Japanese palace was in a bad mood and often walked around the lake. Miss Feng's falling into the water happened to be the place where I often stopped. I think no matter who fell into the water that day, the crime would fall on me, right? If it happened It was Bengong who fell and drowned..." Xiao Peixue curled her lips mockingly, and looked at Xiao Bairan sadly, "Brother Emperor, let's send Peixue back to Lancheng!"

"What did the princess say?" Zhou Bingqian smiled awkwardly, "How could I fall into the injustice of the princess?"

"Didn't you put the crime on Bengong?" Xiao Peixue asked back.
