The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 659 Both Missing, Winning the Beauty War (1)
If Huo Qing'er had a conflict with Chu Xunyang, then it was more likely that Chu Xunyang would be involved in this matter.

Everyone fell silent, and there was a strange tranquility in the scene in front of them.

The night wind is blowing, passing over the lake, it is cool.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion behind the crowd.

Everyone followed the prestige, the man in brocade clothes and jade belt, with flying eyebrows, striding forward——

But it was Feng Liancheng, Prince of Nanhua.

"Empress De Concubine!" Feng Liancheng walked quickly, first greeted De Concubine with a slight nod, then glanced at the scene in front of him, and asked: "Is this palace and Princess Xunyang in front?" I have waited for a long time at the banquet but I have not seen the empress and others coming, what happened here?"

Concubine De's eyes lit up immediately when she heard the words, she saluted and said with a smile: "Really? Something happened here, someone fell into the water!"

As she spoke, she asked Feng Liancheng under the gazes of other people who were either searching or suspicious: "Did Your Highness just say that Princess Xunyang was with you? Did you guys have been together for the past two hours?" All in one place? Or-"

"Cough——" Feng Liancheng covered his lips and coughed a little uncomfortably, and said, "If there's nothing serious here, you should go to the banquet first, Your Majesty the Emperor is already waiting!"

What he said was vague, but it seemed that Chu Xunyang and him had been together all the time, and it was difficult for him to say this in front of others.

Mrs. Luo Guogong breathed a sigh of relief, smoothed things over and said: "Since the Princess and His Highness the Crown Prince met later, there should be no time to come over here to get involved in the affairs here. It was dark for less than half an hour. When something happens, no one will see it.”

"Mrs. Guogong's words are justified—" Concubine De followed her words and was about to find a step.

Seeing this, Zheng Yan was in a hurry, and blurted out as if casually: "Everyone outside said that Prince Nanhua has the heart to marry Princess Xunyang, what he said—don't deliberately defend it!"

As soon as this statement came out, it touched the hearts of many people.

Everyone watched Feng Liancheng secretly with burning eyes.

Feng Liancheng's eyes turned cold, and he was about to explode, but he heard a clear voice from behind the crowd, saying: "I have been staying with the imperial grandfather for just this hour, does Miss Zheng also have doubts?" , the imperial grandfather also gave false testimony to protect the palace?"

Chu Xunyang's tone was a bit playful, and the person who was speaking had already arrived.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her, but she ignored everyone, walked up to Feng Liancheng, looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for his righteous words, Ben Gong proved my innocence. It seems that Ben Gong and my brother went to the imperial grandfather's palace today to pay respects. If I hadn't met you, His Royal Highness, even if my brother came out to testify for me later, it would not be as good as you, an outsider. It's convincing!"

She emphasized the word "outsider", which is to put on a clear attitude in public.

Feng Liancheng was originally playing the role of an unhealed injury. Hearing this, the expression on his face became paler when he was embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, "I also don't want the princess to be misunderstood, and I care about you." Is it messy!"

In the past few days, the matter of the two people's marriage has been hotly discussed, and it is considered to be on the cusp of the storm.

At this moment, everyone had almost forgotten that they were stuck here watching a murder case, instead they all stared at the two people in the middle of the crowd with bright eyes.

Chu Xunyang didn't bother to speak quickly with Feng Liancheng, and immediately looked away, and said to Concubine De: "I heard that Miss Huo fell into the water? Why? Now someone is accusing me of slandering this pot of dirty water." Splash it on me?"

She directly used the term "framing" without leaving any sympathy.

Seeing the sharp and stern posture on her face, Zheng Yan trembled for no reason, bit her lip and lowered her head.

"The princess misunderstood." Concubine De hurriedly said, with a smile on her face, "Miss Huo fell into the water, Mrs. Huo was very sad, so she asked where Miss Huo was going, and Miss Zheng just said casually, saying that she seemed to see Miss Huo Zeng and the princess met in the garden, and there is no other meaning."

Chu Xunyang seemed to be showing concubine De face very much, the corners of his lips curled up, and he said to Zheng Yan, "Really?"

Zheng Yan's heart was beating wildly, she didn't even dare to look directly at her, she just uttered a word from the corner of her mouth stiffly, "Yes—"

Then she managed to regain her composure and said, "I just saw Miss Huo's eyes were red when I met her, as if she had been wronged."

Chu Xunyang knew exactly how much Zheng Yan weighed.

What's more, even the emperor didn't know the reason of the grudge between her and Huo Gang.

According to common sense, it is impossible for Zheng Yan to know that she has made a feud with the Huo family, and made a fuss about Huo Qing'er.

So without a doubt—

She is just a pawn at the mercy of others.

Chu Xunyang looked at her with a half-smile, but asked slowly, "General Huo just passed away, what's so strange about Miss Huo's eyes being red? Could it be that she should be clapping her hands happily?"

Zheng Yan was dumb, her lips moved, but she was blocked and could not speak a word.

But Chu Xunyang ignored her, and turned directly to Mrs. Huo and said, "Could it be that Mrs. Huo also thinks that this Palace did something to Miss Huo?"

Mrs. Huo has clear reasons to doubt her!
Just suspicious, but dare not say.

Reluctantly covering up the look of resentment in her eyes, Mrs. Huo just pinched her handkerchief and wiped her tears weakly, and mournfully said: "My dear, I have a hard life!"

It's not that she doesn't want to avenge her daughter, it's that she doesn't dare to encourage Concubine De to investigate. Once the trouble comes to the emperor——

Maybe this is the original intention of Chu Xunyang in designing his daughter, and wants to kill the grass.

"In this way, there's nothing wrong with me here?" After hearing her words, Chu Xunyang turned his eyes away and looked at Concubine De.

Concubine De was about to say something, the old eunuch who had gone to fetch the fishing tools had already hurried back, followed by a few young eunuchs, carrying two specially made long bamboo poles.

"Hurry up and get him up!" Concubine De didn't care about Chu Xunyang, and hurried to the lake to give orders.

The old eunuch was also very experienced, so he commanded several guards to use the bamboo pole with iron rings to drag the corpse floating in the lotus leaves to the shore.

"Qing'er—" Mrs. Huo was the first to rush over.

She knelt down on the ground, and she was going to directly pull him into her arms, but when she raised her hand halfway, she suddenly stopped, and even the originally mournful crying stopped abruptly.
