Chapter 1312 Confrontation (3)
Princess Ningping was very weak from the cold in the middle of the night, being supported by the maidservant, she was moving here in small steps.

Looking up and seeing Feng Qi approaching, she seemed to be terrified of Feng Qi, her legs gave way and she wanted to throw herself on the ground.

Feng Qi was standing two steps away from her, and it would be very convenient for him to give her a hand, but he didn't bother at all, and he just moved up to the steps.

"Second brother——" Princess Ningping was supported by the maid, but she gritted her teeth secretly at the next moment, and rushed over, grabbing his sleeve from behind.

Feng Qi's eyes turned cold, he stopped and looked back, and said coldly, "Let go!"

Princess Ningping was actually afraid of him, so she shook her body, but she still bit the bullet and didn't let go, she just lowered her voice and said quickly: "Second brother, I don't mean to target you, nor do I mean to hurt you, I also love you. As a last resort, please-"

"What are the Second Highness and the Third Princess doing?" Halfway through Princess Ningping's words, a teasing chuckle suddenly came from behind her.

This voice is-

Princess Ningping's heart trembled, and she let go of her hand as if it was burning.

Turning around, I saw Lord Yanling in a bamboo green brocade robe walking with a jade pendant in his hand.

The smile on his face can be said to be radiant and bright, but the person who came with him was not Chu Xunyang who was named by Emperor Chongming, but Princess Xuancheng with a serious expression.

Princess Ningping's eyes widened in surprise for a moment.

Lord Yanling had already stepped forward and said with an indifferent attitude: "I heard that His Majesty summoned you. If you two are free, please make room for me first? I'm still in a hurry to go back home!"

Feng Qi took a look at him, and walked in first with a blank expression.

Lord Yanling bent his lips and walked in with big strides.

Princess Xuancheng seemed to be in a bad mood, she kept her eyes fixed on her and followed her in.

Princess Ningping caught a cold and had a high fever. Right now she felt as if her whole body was roasted by the stove, and her mind was muddled. She pinched her palms secretly and walked in with heavy steps.

At that time, Concubine Hui and Princess Fanchang were already in the palace, Emperor Chongming sat on the large dragon chair with his eyes closed and rested, with a grim expression on his face.

"Your Majesty! The Second Highness and the others are here!" Ling Wenchang approached him and reminded him in a low voice.

After a while, Emperor Chongming opened his eyes, and his eyes swept across the people in the hall, and then fixed on Lord Yanling.

"I don't know what His Majesty's purpose is to summon you overnight? Xunyang is inconvenient, and she was a little frightened at night. Grandmother was sympathetic, so she told her to go back first." Lord Yanling smiled and said proactively.

"Father summoned her, where did she get such a big air?" Princess Ning Ping immediately reprimanded when she heard this.

Chu Xunyang is one of the protagonists today, how can she do without her here?
"I've already said that Xunyang is not feeling well!" Lord Yanling raised his eyebrows, still looking at her tepidly, but then changed the subject and changed his idle tone again, "It's three Princess, you are so majestic, even if His Majesty has not yet opened his mouth, do you have the right to yell and ask Xunyang where he is?"

That Chu Xunyang usually detours even Feng Liancheng. It is reasonable for Emperor Chongming to ask her whereabouts. Princess Ningping——

It is indeed not enough for this qualification.

Princess Ningping immediately realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, but it was already too late. Emperor Chongming's expression darkened again, and he was staring at her with dissatisfaction.

"Father, father, I-I-" Princess Ningping's heart was beating wildly, her eyes were lowered, and she was a little incoherent.

Emperor Chongming glanced at the crowd, without turning around, and said directly: "Today's matter is not serious, originally I came to Dingguo to confirm something with her face to face, since she is unwell, I will not force others to do anything, Ning Ping, tell me what happened again!"

"Yes—" Princess Ningping quickly responded, and stepped forward before she could speak, but Lord Yanling stepped forward before her, and bowed to Emperor Chongming with his hands together: "Your Majesty, what happened here tonight It seems not small, sorry Ronglie for overstepping the rules, before you ask questions, can you make it easier for me? It's a little private matter, and I'll ask some of you here by the way."

In terms of seniority, he wanted to call Emperor Chongming his uncle, so even if he spoke casually, it was understandable.

Anyway, he is used to being so unrestrained, and he won't feel uncomfortable if he leans on him if he is familiar with him.

Emperor Chongming's complexion was not good, and he didn't say a word for a while, but Feng Qi asked calmly: "Princess Dingguo dropped something, right? The maid named Light Green next to her went back to ask this king on purpose. She found it, but something happened later, and I haven't had time to send it back!"

As he spoke, he calmly took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Lord Yanling in public.

Princess Ning Ping's complexion suddenly became as pale as paper, and she almost lost control again and yelled.

What Feng Qi handed over was a green brocade handkerchief. That handkerchief was nothing special, but if Emperor Chongming asked someone to investigate, they would definitely be able to find out that this brocade was a tribute from the Xiyue royal family, and the embroidery on it was also from the palace. The craftsmanship of the embroiderer, you don't need to ask who it is.

Chu Xunyang's personal belongings were found on Feng Qi's body, so even if he was eloquent, he would be unable to argue.

Lord Yanling took the handkerchief, stuffed it into his sleeve, and sighed with emotion: "That girl is really careless, she said that she was bumped by Princess Ningping's maid in the garden, Later, I lost the handkerchief that I carried with me, let alone dropped it in the garden. Fortunately, I asked someone to go back and ask the Second Highness to find it. Otherwise, if it spreads out and falls into the hands of outsiders, it might cause some trouble. Second Highness, Do you say so?"

Feng Qi's attitude was very cold, and he didn't respond.

Since Princess Ningping used her body as a bait, in order to be sure that nothing would go wrong, she must not just say nothing, so after hearing about the accident, Chu Xunyang immediately became alert. Very suspicious, and then found that a handkerchief was missing from his body——

No wonder.

At that time, Princess Ningping was still a little unresponsive——

It was a lie that her maid ran away and ran into Chu Xunyang, firstly to cause a misunderstanding for Concubine Hui, and secondly—

It was for the purpose of stealing Chu Xunyang's personal belongings, and then the little eunuch they bought in advance took care of them, and threw them into the bushes where she was hiding before when people were not prepared. The move of the sleeves is to hide the veil used as a "token of love" on Feng Qi's body.

She thought that what she did was secretive enough, but she never expected——

Feng Qi seemed to have discovered it at the time, otherwise he would not have responded to Lord Yanling's words in such a timely manner.

"No!" If this evidence is destroyed, her words will be doubted. Princess Ningping rushed forward two steps in a hurry, knelt in front of Emperor Chongming and said, "Father, that veil is not It wasn't Princess Dingguo who lost it, but she gave it to my second brother in the imperial garden at noon today!"

As soon as this remark came out, Princess Xuancheng, who was the most outsider, twitched her eyebrows.

Lord Yanling insisted on pulling her here, and she couldn't refuse too forcefully. She was a little puzzled at first, but now she clearly understood——

Princess Ningping's main use of the owner's certificate must have been targeted in advance. Even if Lord Yanling didn't invite her to come here, Emperor Chongming would have to send someone to invite her later when he asked about it.

But she came here with Lord Yanling, so it's inevitable that she's trying to cover up.

But apparently—

Lord Yanling only wanted the result and tried his best to turn the tide, but he had no intention of caring about how suspicious Emperor Chongming would have in his heart.

Princess Xuancheng sighed in her heart, and then she saw Princess Ningping turned around and rushed towards her, pulling her skirt, and said eagerly: "Grandma, you also passed by the imperial garden at noon, you should also Did you see it?"

Emperor Chongming's eyes moved over.

Princess Xuancheng was almost in a dilemma. Under his gaze, she could only say: "I did see Qi'er and Xunyang walking in the same direction one after another on the way to the banquet in the past. There are many people, Ning Ping, you may have been delusional and misread."

"I didn't!" Princess Ningping said loudly. At this time, she was not sure how much chance of success was left, so she acted extremely urgently, "I can see clearly that the two of them met in the imperial garden, and then stood We talked together for a while, I was far away, although I couldn't hear what they said clearly, but it is absolutely true that Princess Dingguo gave the handkerchief she was carrying with her to Second Brother."

Her voice was very high, and after she finished speaking swearingly, she was afraid that Feng Qi would refute, so she hurriedly continued, "At that time, I also thought that I was thinking too much, so I asked Fan Chang specifically after the banquet to ask about the inside story, but Fan Chang was In a hurry, he threatened me and pushed me into the water, intending to help the second brother cover up the scandal."

The more she spoke, the more angry she became, staring at Feng Qi and said, "If you really have a clear conscience, then why did Princess Dingguo stay alone after all the other wives went to watch the ceremony? I saw everything in the bushes. In the middle of the night, you guys and widows are together, what serious business can you do? If you didn't have a ghost in your heart, why did you hide the fact that I fell into the water from the emperor at that time, and you kept guarding at every step? Waiting to salvage my body by the pond and bring it ashore? You are clearly a guilty conscience and want to kill me!"

Although Lord Yanling took the initiative, she absolutely believed that her words could shake Emperor Chongming's trust in Feng Qi.

If the two sides insist on their own opinions, then nothing is still unknown.

Princess Ning Ping could almost be said to have become more courageous as she fought, and then she sneered, turned her head to look at Concubine Hui who was standing beside her anxiously, and said, "Miss Hui Concubine, why don't you tell what you saw at that time?"
