famous concubine

Chapter 927 Bad news (18)
Dongfangyu lowered his eyes slightly, and couldn't figure out what Fengluo meant by saying this for a moment.

Seeing that there was no one to talk to, Feng Luo immediately fell silent.

He suddenly felt the ruthlessness of the years; he just remembered the short but happy time in Happy Valley, those scenes seemed to be still vivid in his mind; but in the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

She is no longer Yunying's unmarried innocent girl; and he is no longer the prince tremblingly plotting the throne.

With Fengluo's silence, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy and oppressive.

Fortunately, the oppressive feeling brought about by this silence was soon broken by the arrival of the officials presiding over the ceremony.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

Feng Luo glanced at the official coldly, did not speak, but raised her hand slightly.

The official stood up tremblingly, but then cupped his hands and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I almost missed the hour."

Feng Luo's complexion darkened, and she glanced coldly away, the gentle and elegant look on Jun Chou's face had long been replaced by the emperor's stern majesty.

"Isn't it too late? Why are you guilty?"

The official opened his mouth, and finally he didn't say anything, but stepped back respectfully.

Of course, the official of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Xing, only stood aside for a while, raising his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and the hour came.

"The ceremony begins."

Master Xing shouted, then looked at Mo Bai, "Please wash your hands, Mr. Bai."

Mo Bai stood up, and walked over expressionlessly, slowly rolling up his sleeves, revealing a wrist whiter than snow.

Suddenly a voice shouted nervously, "Slow down."

Countless astonished gazes immediately turned to the owner of the voice.

Dongfangyu hooked his lips slightly, and the smile lines spread from the corners of his mouth, but they receded after only one arc.

Concubine Liang's yell did not show her usual soft and timid appearance at all; anyway, there was a bit of coldness and determination.

Feng Luo's gaze turned quietly, and she faintly smiled, "I don't know what Concubine Liang has to say?"

"The grand ceremony pays attention to the auspicious time; if you have nothing important to do, don't waste time here."

Concubine Liang pursed her lips, her waist straightened unknowingly.

She looked at Prince An with complicated eyes, then turned away resolutely, looked at Fengluo resolutely, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, if the concubine has nothing important to do, she will never dare to delay the auspicious time of the grand ceremony."

Feng Luo's eyes twitched, and he spoke lightly: "Say."

"Your Majesty." Concubine Liang's usual timid and soft demeanor, straight waist and cold eyebrows all give people a trance illusion; they mistakenly think that she is born with such a cold and proud person, " Please forgive this concubine for being bold, but here I will tell you a story that has been widely circulated in Prince An's residence."

"Oh, from your tone of voice, could it be that that matter is related to today's Grand Ceremony of Prince Bai?"

"Exactly."

Feng Luo narrowed her eyes slightly, and glanced over quietly, "Then tell me quickly."

Concubine Liang responded respectfully, "Yes, that's what the concubine said."

"In fact, everyone in the mansion knows that in the past two months or so, there has been one thing circulating in the mansion; the central content of the rumors cannot be separated from a piece of information, that is, the Bai Shizi in front of him is not the original man of Prince An's mansion. Bai Shizi."

Feng Luo's eyebrows were slanted, her eyes were dark, and there was a smile that was not a smile at the corner of her mouth, "Oh? Isn't he the original Bai Shizi of Prince An's Mansion?"

Concubine Liang took a light breath, as if this would ease the tension in her heart, "Yes, not only in Prince An's Mansion, but also in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, such things have been circulating recently; His son Bai had already been transferred more than ten years ago; that is to say, the real exile from Prince An's Mansion may have unfortunately died as early as more than ten years ago."

As soon as Concubine Liang's words came out, everyone in Prince An's Mansion looked at each other in dismay, and their expressions changed drastically in an instant.

What she said was tantamount to directly accusing Prince An of cheating on the royal blood; to put it seriously, even Prince An himself was guilty of a serious crime; if Prince An was guilty, this would just give Fengluo a chance and a reasonable excuse to eradicate Prince An's mansion in one fell swoop.

Feng Luo's eyes turned cold, and his complexion sank. He stared at Concubine Liang coldly, and said: "You said this in the hall today; it's best not to spread rumors; otherwise, I will punish you for trying to confuse the public with bad intentions." crime."

"Your Majesty, if this concubine dares to stand here and say these words today, she will naturally not fabricate them out of thin air, and use rumors from the public to pollute His Majesty's hearing in the eyes of a woman."

Feng Luo looked at her coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, then show me the evidence."

Concubine Liang smiled awe-inspiringly, and respectfully said to Fengluo: "Then, please allow your majesty to summon a person to come in."

Feng Luo raised her eyes, her eyes were deep and unpredictable, she slowly glanced at the expressionless Prince An, then at the seductive man with tall and tall body, and then settled on the graceful and indifferent girl.

"allow."

Concubine Liang twitched her lips confidently, and turned to glance at Prince An provocatively.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Taking advantage of the time when the palace servants went to summon witnesses, Mo Bai turned around and walked back to his seat and sat back down again.

During the waiting time, everyone in Prince An's Mansion felt uneasy; some people completely hated Concubine Liang at this time.

If the prince is a fake, it means something will happen to Prince An; in this case, there is absolutely no possibility of Prince An's mansion to exist anymore.

Most of these people's minds changed; originally they were only jealous of Mo Bai; now they will all turn into hatred for Concubine Liang.

After a while, the witness that Concubine Liang wanted to summon arrived.

Everyone turned their heads to look; only a woman with a stooped figure walked in slowly.

The bright sunlight outside the hall was shining brightly behind her, making her look even darker. Because of her hunched waist and backlight, everyone couldn't see her appearance and expression clearly for a while.

The hall is really big; so she walked for a long time before finally reaching the place in front of Fengluo.

"The woman kowtows to His Majesty." She knelt down slowly, and because of her age, the movement of bending and kneeling took a long time.

She tossed herself, and also tossed everyone's patience.

Fengluo had no choice but to wave her big sleeves, avoiding her kneeling ceremony, and asked the maid to help her stand upright.

Concubine Liang stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, this Guo family was one of the stable women who delivered the son 21 years ago; she was the empress dowager's designated midwife. Don't look at her age now; but she Her memory is not bad, she still remembers the birth of the son very clearly."

Dongfang Yu blinked, and a disdainful smile flowed from the corner of his eyes.

Concubine Liang, this is simply nonsense; even if you want to emphasize that the testimony of this stable woman is reliable, you don't need to emphasize such a distant matter.
