Chapter 120

"Yuqiao, you come with me." Feng Feiyue stepped down the long steps, and Yuqiao beside her was stunned, and followed up with strides.

Right in front of her, like auspicious clouds floating, a large expanse of charming colors pulled apart the originally dark sky, Concubine Feng plucked the broken hair on the side of her ears, and the shadow cast by her eyelashes was thick.

From a distance, one could hear the heart-piercing cry of the child, her firm footsteps slowed down with the rhythm, and then suddenly stopped, Mo Chenli's silver-white robe fluttered, Ning Ji said, " What's wrong?"

"That kid..."

She wanted to ask, once the emperor knew the truth, what would be the fate of the child who was dropped out?
Mo Chenli remained silent, and followed her in the same spot. Now, the crying sound was quite shrill. A few times, Concubine Feng even suspected that if such a small child kept crying like this, his throat would be broken.

After hesitating, she didn't turn around, and her steps seemed to be more hurried than before.

In the imperial concubine's bedroom, the nanny was holding the child in both hands, walking up and down the house, she had never seen such a difficult child, crying almost day and night, no wonder the empress often lost her temper.

"Yo... Yo Yo..." Humming a hypnotic tune, but the child was not willing to buy it, his limbs kicked wildly, and his emaciated face was even more flushed.

As soon as Concubine Feng stepped in, she saw Imperial Concubine Ming having breakfast, her face was haggard, and she probably didn't sleep well.Seeing Concubine Feng came in, the woman unconsciously clenched the silver chopsticks tightly. When she saw Mo Chenli behind her, her hand trembled, and the bowl and chopsticks almost tipped over. She was shocked, and hurriedly covered her face and saluted, " The concubine sees the empress."

Concubine Feng waved her hand, signaling her to get up, "No need to be too polite, Imperial Concubine Ming."

"This child, why did you make such a fuss?" Concubine Feng took a step forward, but unexpectedly, the woman straightened her knees and stood in front of her, pretending to tease the child.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, children are like this, they will be fine after crying a few times."

Mo Chenli, who was following Concubine Feng, frowned. An unknown incense was burning in the air, and the smell was pungent and strong, even choking.This strong fragrance is really disgusting, and it is this kind of incense that seems to hide a fresh smell.

"According to my palace, it's better to ask Dr. Mo to diagnose the pulse. The little prince's complexion is not good, it's not as simple as crying." Concubine Feng Yue said casually, observing the woman's expression with her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Ming had a strange look in her eyes, and her face was pulled apart a little stiffly, "The little prince is doing very well. Yesterday, the concubine let the national teacher come and see him."

Concubine Feng Yue nodded thoughtfully, she turned around, and saw Mo Chenli's gaze was falling on the table on one side, and a purple hollow smoker was placed on it.Faintly, the dense and rich fragrance wafted out from inside.Gently waving one hand between the nose, "Unexpectedly, Imperial Concubine Ming likes this gaudy fragrance."

The woman's face was slightly unnatural, the corners of her mouth moved, and she took the child from the nanny's hand.

Seeing her dodging expression, Concubine Feng became more determined in her heart, stepped forward gently, and said, "Can I hug you?"

Imperial Concubine Ming put more force on the hand holding the child, and turned half of her body involuntarily, "This child is making a lot of noise, I'm afraid that I will disturb the queen."

A few people were talking when they heard a sound of notification from outside. Just as everyone reacted, the emperor had already walked in from outside.

"Why are you here?" Gu Yezi glanced across the crowd, and landed on Feng Feiyue's face.

She obediently stepped forward, her exhausted voice was a little hoarse. Seeing her looking at the child in her arms, imperial concubine Ming hurriedly turned her body around, pretending to tease her.

"Chenqie, I want to hug that child." Feng Feiyue said seriously.

Gu Ye was puzzled, but seeing her face full of hope, he nodded, "I'm not in good health, so don't force it too much."

Concubine Feng showed her beauty, while Imperial Concubine Ming's back was stiff at this time. She came to the front of the woman and looked down at the crying child who was almost out of breath. .

Concubine Feng stretched out her hand, and the woman raised her head, with a bit of hatred in her eyes, her hands were still holding on to the baby's swaddling clothes.Behind him, seeing the stalemate between the two, the emperor walked over with a slightly displeased face.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Imperial Concubine Ming panicked, she let go of her hand, and was picked up by Concubine Feng Yue.

Holding the child, she stepped back a few steps, and just as the catkin touched his arm, the little prince started crying loudly again, with tearing pain in his voice.

Concubine Feng Yuexiu frowned lightly, her palm slipped to the child's cuff, and she lifted it lightly with five fingers, her beautiful eyes widened in amazement at what she saw in front of her, she couldn't restrain her whisper from her mouth, When the emperor heard this, he stepped forward with a grim expression.

I saw that the pink and white arm was covered with bruises, some of which were purple in color, the bruises were so obvious, and the pinch marks on the two fingers were even more horrible.

Concubine Feng was dumbfounded, she held the child's head in one hand, the emperor had already walked to the side, and when her eyes fell on the little prince's arms, her handsome face settled down like ice and snow, "Who did it!"

The nurse who was close at hand was trembling all over, her knees smashed to the ground, "Go back to the emperor, I don't know."

Out of the corner of her eye, she turned to Imperial Concubine Ming in fear and cowardly, she was trembling and remained silent, and slammed her forehead on the ground forcefully.

The emperor saw it in his eyes, but there was a sharp pain in his heart. After all, he was his own flesh and blood, but now he was subjected to such abuse. The wet nurse just shouted for mercy, and the shoulder blades were suddenly stressed, and he kicked him far away, " I entrust the little prince to you, if you don't tell the truth today, I will tear your old bones apart!"

The wet nurse continued to roll and crawl, and managed to maintain her previous posture and knelt down on the ground again, "The emperor spares my life, the emperor spares my life...Old slave, I really don't know."

She kowtowed all the time, and now that she was involved, she was afraid that it would be difficult to escape, so she closed her eyes to avoid it. Concubine Feng saw her hesitating, as if she didn't dare to say anything, "It's okay for you to say, now the emperor is here Well, of course I won't wrong you, if you don't tell the truth, then..." She paused, her red lips were lightly closed, with ruthlessness, "You can only be the scapegoat, and then your family will be implicated , Nurse, you are really courageous, the little prince is the first dragon heir of my Xuan Dynasty..."

"Queen, queen forgive me..."

On the side, imperial concubine Ming's smooth forehead was dripping with sweat, her fists clenched in her sleeves, she rushed forward a step, intending to snatch the child from Concubine Feng's hand, "Give me back the little prince."

Turning around, Concubine Feng took a few steps away from the woman, the emperor's cold face became more and more furious, "What are you doing?"

"That's the concubine's child, why should she hold it?" Imperial Concubine Ming was restless, stomping her legs a few times, "Give me back the child."

Gu Ye saw that the nanny was only kowtowing, and the anger accumulated in his heart had nowhere to vent, his eyes were dark and he shouted towards the outside, "Come on, drag this slave out and shoot him to death with a stick."

Outside, the guards who were waiting rushed into the palace quickly, and the wet nurse was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground and did not move. Seeing that the two guards were about to approach her, she propped herself up on her elbows and hugged the emperor's leg with all her strength, "Your Majesty The old slave dare not lie, the emperor spares his life, the injury on the little prince's body has nothing to do with the old slave, it was the imperial concubine Ming who saw him crying day and night, so, that's why she pinched her..."

"Nurse, what nonsense are you talking about? Let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" The royal concubine Ming became furious, and the maids and mothers beside her all turned pale and snowy in fright. The nurse had to fight to protect herself. Desperately revealed all the things, "Your Majesty, what this old slave said is true, even if this old slave borrowed courage from the sky, he would not dare to attack the little prince."

Imperial concubine Ming stepped forward quickly, and the guards at the side blocked her in front of her at the emperor's signal. Seeing this, the woman said in a hysterical voice, "Your majesty, you must never trust her. The little prince is a concubine who is pregnant for ten months." How could the concubine give birth to this hand, the emperor..."

Concubine Feng looked at that almost crazy face, she was supposed to be beautiful and proud, but now, holding a child who is not her, what is her persistence and compromise for?
Looking sideways, the emperor's face showed pity, but it was only for the little prince, that he thought was his own child.

Concubine Feng lowered her head, the child in her arms was no longer crying, the voice from her throat was lovingly hoarse, she waved her little hand in front of her eyes a few times, her bright black eyes were staring at herself.This was supposed to be an innocent life, but he didn't want to be dragged into the power dispute in the harem.

The child's small hand tucked into the sleeve suddenly grabbed one of Feng Feiyue's fingers, and the chubby five fingers were gathered together, with very light strength, but gently wrapped her hand in the palm.

In an instant, it was like a strong electric current, and the prolonged crying almost made the child forget that he could still laugh. Concubine Feng saw him giggling, his eyes were as black as ink, very beautiful.

Over there, the wet nurse hugged the emperor's leg and refused to let go, while the imperial concubine Ming was blocked by two guards and couldn't move forward. Kicking the nurse away with his legs, he turned to face her, his sharp and indifferent eyes were like the sharp point of a knife, with the coldness of a knife that wanted to kill people.

"Your Majesty..." Imperial Concubine Ming's pupils tightened, "Don't believe her words. The little prince is the child of the concubine and the emperor. The concubine takes good care of him every day. How could he attack him? The wet nurse must have taken advantage of me when I was not around." If you don't believe me, the emperor, these maids and mothers can all testify..."

Concubine Feng saw that she was trying to argue, she turned her eyes away from the child, and Mo Chenli was standing beside her, at this moment he just watched coldly.The two glanced at each other, only to see that he took a step back, and his tall figure shrouded Concubine Feng's head. His unintentional movements showed that the man was silently waiting behind him for support.
