The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 274 If You Need It, Then I'll Do It! (4)
A group of people knelt here for a long time, and they knew it was bad luck before they saw Chu Qihui come out, and they didn't care much at the moment, the leader crawled over and kowtowed to Chu Qifeng and begged, "Your Majesty, servant wait The slaves should be damned if people have blind eyes to offend the princess, but it was all ordered by His Highness the eldest grandson, and the slaves also acted according to orders. Since the slaves didn’t know it beforehand, please hold your hand high and intercede for the slaves in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. , spare the slaves!"

As the man spoke, he was about to grab the hem of his robe.

Chu Qifeng's eyes froze slightly, and a cold and stern glance crossed across.

The man's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and begged, "Your Majesty—"

"You went out without my father's order, and you offended and intended to kill my sister. If such crimes can be forgiven, our imperial court's code can also be discarded." Chu Qifeng said, looking at it. Without looking at them, she just straightened her cuffs with calm and graceful downcast eyes, and then changed the subject again, "What's more, there are still murders happening now, and the side concubines of the Eastern Palace are all overwhelmed by you daredevils." His servant shot him dead, do you still have the guts to intercede in front of this king?"

"This—this—" The man shook his body.

When Concubine Lei was carried away, everyone had a premonition that the woman probably wouldn't survive, and now that she was really dead, everyone felt as if they had been slapped in the head and lost their backbone all at once. , panicked.

Chu Qifeng didn't want to talk nonsense with these people, so he turned his head indifferently and reprimanded the guards at the gate of the palace: "What kind of place is this, let them kneel here and disturb the hearts of the people? If any gossip spreads later, Your Majesty blames it, you have How many heads are there to take care of?"

"Yes, it's the slaves and others who have neglected their duties. Let's drive them away!" The leader of the guard guarding the gate was startled, and hurriedly called a group of people to come forward, and shouted loudly to expel the group of people kneeling in front of him.

Those people were ordered by Chu Qihui to act. Although they were suspected of dereliction of duty, except for the hundreds of archers who were involved in the lawsuit against Concubine Lei, the others had nothing to do with their lives, and they did not dare to commit suicide in this turbulent time. After being bombarded by the guards, the hundreds of archers who stayed at the gate of the palace still refused to leave in panic.

"The prince of the county, the servants and others are also following orders. His Highness the eldest grandson is a royal family member, so we dare not disobey his orders!" The leader still begged bitterly, "And—the words of the princess at that time were also vague, None of us knew that the person in that car would be the side concubine, otherwise we wouldn't have—"

"What are you talking about? Could it be that this has become our princess's fault?" Qing Teng was impatient, and asked sharply when he heard the words.

In order to get rid of the crime, those people couldn't care about anything, they shrank their necks and muttered: "It's true that the princess didn't say anything, otherwise it wouldn't be—"

"Hasn't our princess ever persuaded you?" Qingteng glared angrily, and gave the man the whip in his hand, cursing in a sharp, almost mean voice, "It's just the housework of our East Palace You don’t know the seriousness of the matter, so you casually kill the concubine, and now you don’t want to repent, don’t say anything, and want to pour dirty water on our princess? You really have the guts!”

"I don't dare, I don't dare!" The man's heart skipped a beat, and then he remembered that His Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Kang County were notoriously protective of the Xunyang County Lord, and when he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, he quickly pulled himself out Slap in the face.

But Chu Qifeng didn't give him another chance to argue, so he ordered in a cold voice: "Take them back to the Jiucheng Bingma Yamen and hand them over to Liang Yu, and wait until father has time to deal with it later!"

After saying that, he didn't bother to waste any more words, turned around and got into the carriage.

After the morning court the next day, the news that the emperor's eldest grandson, Chu Qihui, offended Sheng Yan, was drawn out of the imperial jade certificate and demoted to a commoner spread quickly.

Because it was a family scandal of the royal family, the emperor issued a ban order, and Chu Qifeng used thunderous means to lock up all the officers and soldiers of the Nine City Army Ma Siyi for interfering with the case. It is mentioned that the specific reasons for this matter are very vague, only saying that he offended Shengyan, and did not give a specific explanation.

However, the great momentum of the emperor's departure from the palace inevitably alarmed the people living along the street. The turmoil and conflict outside the south city gate were dug up and discussed in secret, but the details were all guesswork.

Chu Lingyun was shocked when she heard the news, she lost her hand for a moment, and the white jade fine porcelain teacup bestowed by Empress Luo fell on the ground, and the tea splashed out and wet a large corner of her skirt.

"Chu Qihui was abolished? Why is it so sudden? What happened?" Chu Lingyun murmured excitedly, ignoring the stains on her body, she got up and went out, "Go prepare the car, I have to go back to the palace immediately .”

Chu Qiyan's news is always well-informed, maybe he will know it somewhere.

"Princess!" Ziwei quickly trotted up to follow, why not, "Now you should go to the palace first, go to see the empress first, the son is there, the servant will send a message for you first, do you think this is okay? "

Chu Lingyun's footsteps stopped, she frowned suspiciously and looked at her, she already had some idea in her heart, she pondered: "What happened to the imperial grandmother?"

"Yesterday evening, when the news was urgently delivered to Beijing at eight hundred miles from Chuzhou, Supervisor Luo died of serious injuries." Ziwei said, "When the empress got the news, she vomited blood and passed out on the spot. But last night the emperor suddenly Leaving the palace, the matter of His Highness the eldest grandson happened later, this news was suppressed, and the servants also got the news just now!"

"Luo Yi is dead?" Chu Lingyun raised her breath slightly, but was a little surprised.

It was Chu Qiyan's arrangement to secretly hurt Luo Yi, but she never thought that Luo Yi would die directly because of it.

"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up to prepare the car and hand over the sign to enter the palace." After gathering her composure, Chu Lingyun hurriedly ordered.

At this time, Empress Luo was furious, and there was no better time to push her to do something.

Ziwei agreed, and hurriedly prepared a car to go to the palace with Chu Lingyun to see her sick.

The emperor here just came back from the morning court, and he couldn't wait to ask Li Ruixiang after entering the gate of the imperial study, "Is there any news about the person who was sent to chase that girl in Mobei?"

"Yes!" Li Ruixiang lowered his eyes slightly, held his breath subconsciously, and even lowered his voice deliberately, and said: "The mission team in Mobei was stopped halfway in the middle of the night last night. However, the Imperial Forest Army searched one by one, and found no trace of Tuoba Yunji, it seems that she didn't go with the mission team!"

The emperor's footsteps suddenly stopped, the expression on his face did not change in time, and the fingers under his sleeves were already rattling.
