The chief concubine of the foodie king

Chapter 230
Feng Yibei was wearing a mink fur shawl and was sitting at the desk flipping through the books. There was a carbon basin in the room.

There was a clear gap between the temperature inside and the outside, and there was a sound of pushing the door, accompanied by a biting cold wind.

Luo Zheng stepped forward seriously, "My lord, someone wants to see you!"

"Who?" Feng Yibei raised his eyes and asked softly.

"This subordinate doesn't know, the other party only left a request letter!" After speaking, he handed over the envelope.

Fold the letter, frown, and get up.

"You go and call the ten princes to this king! And let this person come to the dark room to meet, remember to keep this matter secret!"

Luo Zheng nodded and walked away.

In the dark room, a tall but thin man is sitting in front of the coffee table. His face is covered with a veil, making it difficult to see his true face. From his hand holding the cup, it can be seen that he should be Nervous, because the veins in the back of his hand were throbbing.

The door was pushed open, Feng Yibei walked in with Feng Yihua, afterward, Feng Yihua turned around and closed the door tightly.

The man got up, and the three looked at each other but were speechless.

After a while, Feng Yibei coughed lightly, breaking the atmosphere, and said uncomfortably, "Brother Sanhuang, don't come here without any problems!"

When the man heard Feng Yibei calling him so, he just smiled lightly.

That's right, the man was the emperor Feng Yipin who had been forced into the palace by Feng Yijun before and fled in a panic!
In the panic, he didn't even rescue his wife and children!

Feng Yibei put the petition letter on the table, and kissed Feng Yipin, "Tell me, why did you seek me today?"

Feng Yipin opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at Feng Yibei, "I know, at this point, it is impossible to return to the dragon chair in this life."

"Then you still come to look for us?" Feng Yihua shouted uncontrollably.

If it wasn't for Feng Yibei's repeated instructions before, he really wanted to kill Feng Yipin himself to avenge his fourth brother and concubine mother.

Feng Yipin said with a stiff smile, "I'm here to beg you to save my wife and children. At the same time, I'm also here to tell you the truth about what happened at the city gate!"

Feng Yibei and Feng Yihua were startled when they heard the words, "How do you say that!"

Feng Yipin waited for a sip of tea and swallowed a piece of pastry before speaking.

It turned out that although the late emperor loved his ninth son Feng Yibei the most, under the coercion and coaxing of Feng Yihua's mother concubine Defei, he made a will and decided to cede the throne to the fourth prince.

But all this inside story was learned by Empress Tang and Empress Dowager Yan. In order to prevent the throne from falling into the hands of the fourth prince, Empress Dowager Yan and Empress Dowager Tang jointly set up a Hongmen Banquet. It was Defei's work.

In a rage, the first emperor decreed to abolish the title of concubine De, and put her in the cold palace.

Concubine De's unexpected loss of power caused the fourth prince, who had always been as ambitious as a wolf, to take revenge.

The fourth prince recruited soldiers secretly in order to expand his power, but everything could not escape the eyes of the Queen Mother Yan. In order to become the queen mother as he wished, the Queen Mother Yan instigated the fifth prince Feng Yijun to trick the fourth prince.She herself tried to slander the fourth prince in every possible way in front of the late emperor.

After repeated quarrels, the first emperor, who already had a dislike for the fourth prince, decided to change his will and pass it on to the ninth prince, Feng Yibei.Naturally, the four princes would not agree to this matter. In order to successfully win the throne, he, who was born out of courage, followed Feng Yijun's plan and chose to launch the city gate mutiny on the occasion of the late emperor's birthday. The army went straight to the imperial city, trying to Let the first emperor abdicate.

Seeing that the time was right, the Empress Dowager Yan ordered the eunuchs who had been bought in advance to serve the late emperor to deal with the late emperor.After the death of the first emperor, the Fifth Prince and the Empress Dowager Yan mobilized the army in the city to unite with their secret reserves of soldiers and horses to surround the Fourth Prince at the gate of the city under the pretense of acting on behalf of the heavens.

In the scuffle, the fifth prince, who had always been known for his gentleness and modesty, assassinated the fourth prince.

In order not to fall into the truth, the Empress Dowager Yan wanted to let her other son who was dissolute and disregarded his career, the third prince Feng Yipin, to bear the infamy of killing his brother and father.

Amid all the scolding, Feng Yipin ascended to the Dragon Throne and became a puppet emperor imprisoned by the Queen Mother Yan!
After learning all this, Concubine De in the cold palace knew that she was doomed to die, so she chose to commit suicide by hanging herself.

During that birthday banquet, Feng Yibei accidentally drank the poisoned wine by mistake.Looking at the overall situation, he chose to pretend to be stupid.

But what he never expected was that the glass of poisoned wine was prepared by Empress Tang herself. Empress Tang wanted to use the birthday banquet to get rid of the fifth prince, Feng Yipin. Qi Duan gave it to Feng Yibei.

At that time, Shangguan Wanqi, who was the fiancee of the Ninth Prince, had already committed herself to the Fifth Prince Feng Yijun, so she agreed to betray the Ninth Prince Feng Yibei.

The truth of the matter is that the fifth prince, Feng Yijun, is the real hypocrite who killed brothers and fathers and took away wives!And his third prince, Feng Yipin, is just a substitute in this battle.

Turns out there were no real victims in the feud.Every victim was also a perpetrator, and every perpetrator was almost a victim.

Back then, except for the young Feng Yihua, no one was clean, and no one was innocent.

"Could it be that the years of friendship between Feng Yijun and my fourth brother are fake?" Feng Yihua asked softly after being silent for a long time.

In my memory, the fourth brother has the best relationship with Feng Yijun among the princes. The two were born in the same year, went to school together, went on picnics together, and practiced kung fu together since they were young.

Feng Yipin chuckled, and there was a sense of desolation in the laughter, "If your mother and concubine hadn't secretly forced father to pass on to your fourth brother in advance, I don't think it would be him who the fifth younger brother would deal with, but It is most likely the ninth brother!"

Feng Yibei's hands froze, but he remained silent, he knew Feng Yipin's words were not alarmist.

"If you were an ordinary family, which one of us is not a brother whose blood is thicker than water? Since ancient times, the royal family has been ruthless. This is true." Feng Yipin continued to chirp.

"In fact, the cause of all this is the open and secret struggle among the concubines! In the end, the death of Concubine De was the result, and my mother and concubine were also to blame." Feng Yibei rested his chin lightly on his elbow, and looked at Feng Yi with apologetic eyes. magnificent.

Feng Yihua swallowed a few times, not knowing what to say.He used to think that his fourth brother and concubine mother were the most innocent victims, but he never thought that concubine mother was the instigator of this tragedy.But the truth made him bound like a rope, unable to move.

"Even if my mother and concubine were at fault first, they didn't deserve to end up like this!" Finally, Feng Yihua closed her eyes and whispered, "There is a wrong and a debt, I know what to do."

"What do you want us to do when you come here this time?" Feng Yibei was the first to return to reality.

Feng Yipin said, "I just need you to help me rescue my wife and children. As for the throne, you can do whatever you want!" It's not that he doesn't want to return to the throne, but he knows that it is an impossible dream to come true.
