Chapter 188

After the old emperor was ready to play, Feng Yunkai finally turned to Luo Lingqi, first gave him an apologetic look, and then asked calmly, "Master Qi, what are your so-called witnesses?"

Thus, all the civil and military officials saw a frightening coldness and a flash of pain in Luo Lingqi's eyes.

But Luo Lingqi was Luo Lingqi, and all civil and military officials saw it with some admiration, and he soon began to give evidence with an indifferent expression.

"The physical evidence is the jade pendant given by the emperor, and the personal evidence is me and my subordinates, Concubine Cheng and the First Prince, as well as the guards of Prince Jing's residence, and the people outside Prince Jing's residence."

Feng Yunkai smiled slightly, and asked: "The physical evidence that the seventh son said, that is, the jade pendant that the emperor gave to Concubine Cheng, can prove Concubine Cheng's identity, can I understand it this way?"

After a short pause, Luo Lingqi nodded: "Yes."

"Okay, since the seventh son said yes, can this jade pendant prove that the fire in Qiancheng Palace was caused by Concubine Ning? The concubine and the eldest prince abused lynching?"

After a short pause, Luo Lingqi replied: "No, but..."

"Seventh son, please be calm and don't be impatient." Feng Yunkai stopped Luo Lingqi's words, faced the old emperor, and said: "My majesty, as far as the women know, Concubine Ning does not know the existence of Concubine Cheng and the eldest prince. , the reason why Concubine Cheng and the First Prince were imprisoned in the dungeon of Prince Jing's Mansion is entirely due to Prince Jing."

As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar.Isn't Prince Jing the representative of Concubine Ning?Is there any big difference between King Jing's abuse of lynching of Concubine Cheng's mother and son, and Concubine Ning Gui's abuse of lynching of Concubine Cheng's mother and son?
The old emperor naturally also asked: "The noble concubine is Prince Jing's biological mother, what King Jing did, the noble concubine should know."

"Your Majesty, all the people in this world are the Emperor's subjects, and what the people in this world have done, does the Emperor know everything?" Feng Yunkai asked back, and the officials were in an uproar again.

This woman is so bold, how dare she...

After being startled for a moment, the old emperor said in a low voice, "This... I don't know."

"The girl is rude, please forgive me. However, the girl just wants the emperor and all civil and military officials to understand that the imperial concubine has lived in the palace for a long time, and Prince Jing has lived in Prince Jing's mansion for a long time. What King Jing did, the imperial concubine is not May know all about it."

The old emperor was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You are right, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Yun blessed the body, and continued: "According to the daughters of the people, the reason why Concubine Cheng and the First Prince were captured by King Jing is as follows: Late last night, when the palace guards were patrolling, they found an assassin When they broke into the palace, Prince Jing happened to be passing by, and after the palace guards captured the assassin, he handed it over to Prince Jing for disposal."

The eldest prince actually became an assassin?The civil and military officials were speechless, but none of them objected aloud. Let's see what nonsense this woman can say.

Feng Yunkai glanced at Concubine Cheng, and said: "Prince Jing doesn't know the identity of the eldest prince, and he thought that the eldest prince was an assassin, so he tortured him to extract a confession. At this time, looking for the Eldest Prince everywhere, the guards of Prince Jing's Mansion found that the person Cheng Concubine was looking for was the assassin in the dungeon of Prince Jing's Mansion, so they immediately arrested Concubine Cheng and took her to the dungeon to meet the First Prince."

Everyone saw that when Concubine Cheng heard this, she suddenly hugged the boy in front of her tightly.It was as if...what Feng Yunkai said was true—she had indeed gone to the dungeon of Prince Jing's Mansion to recognize her son.

"The result is obvious. Prince Jing confirmed that Concubine Cheng and the assassin knew each other, so he detained Concubine Cheng as a rebel, whipped them both, and ordered them to recruit their accomplices. The whole thing is like this, Although Prince Jing is very happy about his meritorious deeds, concealing and refusing to report it is not a serious crime, a small punishment is enough, and the imperial concubine is innocent, please learn from the emperor."

After Feng Yunkai finished speaking, the old emperor looked very dazed, and so did the officials.

She said all these words by herself, and it sounded flawless, as if the truth of the matter is like this——Prince Jing is not wrong, Concubine Ning is not wrong, if you want to blame, you can blame the eldest prince for going to the palace late at night, and let The palace guards were caught.

"The story of Master Feng Zhuang is very good, but I still have two questions: First, the eldest prince was treated as an assassin by King Jing and tortured to extract a confession. Why didn't he clarify the facts and reveal his identity? Second, I rescued Concubine Cheng When I was with the First Prince, Concubine Ning Gui was also in the dungeon, I don't know why?"

After several seconds of silence in the hall, Luo Lingqi suddenly made another attack.

Good question!Many ministers applauded in their hearts. If Luo Lingqi didn't ask, they really ignored these two points.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yunkai said calmly: "First, the eldest prince was born in the common people, and he has not recognized the emperor for 18 years. There must be other secrets. Maybe it is because he is afraid that there is no family affection in the royal family, and that Prince Jing will know about him. Second, after Prince Jing caught the assassin, he sent someone to inform the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine went to the dungeon to check the truth, and there was nothing wrong with it."

After a pause, she pursed her lips and smiled like a flower: "I suddenly thought of a possibility from the words of the seventh son - if I, a prince who has an evil heart and disregards the affection of his flesh and blood, learns about the concubine Cheng under such circumstances. and the status of the eldest prince, then I will never use torture on them, but immediately execute the law on the spot to avoid future troubles! However, the fact that Prince Jing did not do this is enough to show that Prince Jing did not know about the relationship between Concubine Cheng and the eldest prince. Even if he knew about the identity of the prince, he didn't intend to kill him, what does the seventh son think?"

What a glib tongue!Many ministers were angry in their hearts.

After Luo Lingqi was silent for a while, he flicked his sleeves slightly, and turned sideways: "Even though Master Feng's words are flawless, I only believe what I see with my own eyes!"

"Okay, since the seventh son said so, I might as well let the seventh son see it with his own eyes." Feng Yunkai unexpectedly readily agreed, and walked in front of Concubine Cheng and Hu Zi.

Huzi was slightly on guard, protecting his mother, but the previous trust could not be erased, not to mention he always felt that something was wrong.Although Feng Yunkai seemed to be helping Concubine Ning on the surface, he couldn't believe it—he could see the relationship between Luo Lingqi and Feng Yunkai. Turned back?

No reason!

"Feng Yunkai, what do you want to do?" The old emperor frowned, not knowing what Feng Yunkai wanted to do.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Minnen just wants Concubine Cheng to come forward as a witness, so that the seventh son believes that Concubine Cheng is not the victim of Concubine Cheng, and will never hurt Concubine Cheng. However, the Minnen must follow the usual name Calling on Concubine Cheng, please forgive the daughter of the people for the crime of disrespect towards Concubine Cheng and the eldest prince."

The old emperor thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will allow you to play."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."

Feng Yunkai thanked Concubine Cheng again, with a smile on his face, and asked softly: "Madam, may I ask Madam, did you find the tiger when you went out yesterday?"

Concubine Cheng glanced at Feng Yunkai, hugged Huzi tightly, nodded her head twice, and showed a slight smile.

"Okay, may I ask Madam when she found Huzi, did she ever hit Madam?" Feng Yunkai turned sideways and pointed at Concubine Ning Gui slightly.

Concubine Cheng raised her eyes, and looked at Concubine Ning in confusion.

Looking at this, Concubine Ning Gui's heart twitched violently, and she felt a little timid.If Concubine Cheng nodded... would the emperor still believe her?

"Ma'am, she didn't beat Madam with a whip, did she?" Feng Yunkai continued to ask.

Concubine Cheng blinked, withdrew her gaze, and shook her head: "No..."

At this moment, the officials were really in an uproar. Could it be that Concubine Ning Gui is really innocent?
I don't know who it was, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Cheng is out of consciousness, so it's only natural that you answered everything you asked."

When the sound came out, the officials suddenly realized that it was so!

Feng Yunkai smiled slightly, pointed at a guard dressed in ice-cold clothes, and deliberately asked Concubine Cheng: "Ma'am, isn't it the lady he beat with a whip?"

Concubine Cheng raised her head and looked at the palace guard, her eyes instantly showed a look of horror.She shook her head repeatedly, then nodded again and again, screaming miserably: "He hit me! He hit me!"

At this moment, the officials had nothing to say - judging from Concubine Cheng's reaction, it was indeed the guards of Prince Jing's mansion who whipped Concubine Cheng and the First Prince as assassins, while Concubine Ning Guifei did not participate in this matter.

"Your majesty, the truth is like this, please be judged by the emperor." Feng Yunkai turned to the old emperor and bowed.

The old emperor glanced at the ministers, and asked slowly: "About what Feng Yunkai said, is there any objection? If not, I will forgive the noble concubine and King Jing."

The officials were silent, and there was no sound. Many people turned their attention to Luo Lingqi.

Luo Lingqi closed his eyes slightly, as if he was not going to care about this matter, and the officials immediately knew that this matter was over.As a result, many people were happy, and many people were disappointed.

"Okay, since Aiqing has no objection, I forgive the noble concubine and Prince Jing innocent." After the old emperor finished speaking, he glanced at Luo Lingqi who was about to retreat: "Luo Lingqi, you and Feng Yunkai stay here, I I have something to tell you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Luo Lingqi replied with a frosty face, while Feng Yunkai smiled, and the two of them thought at the same time: It just so happens that we also have something to say to you, the emperor.

But in the eyes of others, it was Feng Yun who hurt Luo Lingqi, and the emperor wanted to act as a peacemaker. After all, Fengzhuang's interests were too tempting.

Concubine Ning returned to Jingning Palace covered in cold sweat, and took a good bath.And she, who kept thinking about the swords and swords in the Jinluan Palace, developed a desire to win over Feng Yunkai.

That incompetent prince, what is worth Feng Yunkai's painstaking efforts?It's better to support her Jing'er, it's amazing, she let Jing'er marry Feng Yunkai as a side concubine, so Feng Yunkai can rest assured from now on!
Concubine Ning Guifei was wishful thinking, but she had no idea that she was gradually falling into the trap set by Feng Yunkai and Luo Lingqi...
