Chapter 87 He Had Never Seen Such a Shameless Person!
...When Yun Fenghuang returned to the banquet in front of Shi Cuixuan, Mrs. Yi Guogong had disappeared. The only daughter-in-law, Mrs. Han, was chatting with Yun Qingman. When she saw her coming, the two of them People stood up to greet him.
"Qingman, how are you doing now?" Yun Fenghuang greeted them and sat down, then asked Yun Qingman with concern, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? I just asked Xijing to accompany Miaocai back to the harem to get you medicine. I'll wait a minute. I’ll be back soon.”
Yun Qingman was stunned for a moment and said quickly that there was no need to go to such trouble: "I'm much better now... Have you found someone close to the Queen? Will it trouble the Queen too much?"
"Don't worry, sister." Before Yun Fenghuang could answer, Han had already pursed her lips and smiled and said, "The Queen likes Yun Bin so much, and everyone outside knows it, what does such a small thing matter? Besides, Yun Bin often When serving the Queen, she knows better than anyone how to deal with the people in front of her, right?"
Yun Fenghuang glanced at her with a smile, but did not answer directly. Instead, he said to Yun Qingman, "Just wait here. I told Xijing that she would come here to look for you after she accompanied Miao to collect the medicine. I still have to go find Wei Jieyu... you know."
Finally, he stood up and smiled at Mr. Han, the smile not reaching his eyes, "My wife, I have to take a step in advance so that I won't disturb you from talking to Qingman."
After she left, Mrs. Han asked Yun Qingman: "She is going to find Wei Jieyu? Does she have a good relationship with Wei's legitimate daughter?"
"It is said that we don't get to know each other without fighting." Yun Qingman said truthfully, "When we first entered the palace, we pinched each other once in the side hall of Yanfu Palace. That was the time I was involved, but our relationship gradually improved... "
Han smiled and said with a subtle expression: "She just asked Miaocai to find your brother."
"...It should be for Wei Jieyu's entrustment." Yun Qingman was silent for a while and said, "When dad and brother came over just now, I saw behind the screen and told Feng Huang that she didn't even look back. For a while, I just said something perfunctory. Later, Wei Jieyu came over and winked at her, and then she took me to find my brother. "
"Really?" Mrs. Han thought for a while and said to herself, "I remembered that Wei Jieyu has a younger sister. She is still in the boudoir, and she should look pretty good considering her age... Could it be because of this? Son? Is Mr. Wei interested in a relative of ours? Want to find out the news from your brother?"
Yun Qingman looked at her, suddenly a little annoyed, and pursed her lips: "Sister-in-law, I want to go to my sister's place, will you go?"
Mrs. Han smiled and said, "What? You've only been with my sister-in-law for so long, and you're tired of it? Fortunately, I'm still thinking about you at home."
"What's the matter?" After what she said, Yun Qingman couldn't keep walking away, so she could only prevaricate, "Aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law wants to go to your brother, or that I force you to make you annoying?"
"It's so rare to get out of here, why should I go find him?" Han shook her fan and smiled, saying nonchalantly, "Anyway, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we get back in the evening."
He rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, have you taken the decoction that mother told you about recently? How do you feel?"
While Yun's sister-in-law was chatting privately, Yun Fenghuang was also looking for Wei Hengyan on the Pine Ridge: "Why are you here? I've been looking for you downstairs for a long time. If you hadn't happened to meet a chamberlain whom you asked about, I'm afraid I'm still running around like a headless fly."
"The Empress Dowager just summoned the noble lady to talk to Shi Cuixuan." Wei Hengyan leaned on the railing, overlooking the vast mist below, and said lazily, "I'm just a wallflower when I stay there, so I just come out and hide. I'm lazy... Every place with flowers and moonlight is busy at the moment, so I don't want to occupy a good place to make people hate me. It's just a quiet place to walk around. "
There are only green pines on the pine ridge. Because they form a patchwork, although the sound of the waves is heard, even if the heat is getting stronger, walking under it in the middle of the day still feels chilly. Because the branches and leaves are unbroken all year round and block the skylight, it is quiet and dark within a few steps of walking in. It seems to be two different worlds from the bright flowers, willows, dark blue sky and bright sun near Shi Cuixuan.
While walking around, it is easy to be startled by snakes, rats, and birds that occasionally jump by. Therefore, many nobles' children and clan members only hang out at the bottom and rarely come up.
It was very courageous for Wei Hengyan to climb all the way up with two maids.
"Yes." Yun Fenghuang also walked to the railing. This is the highest point of Pine Ridge, a high platform made of white marble, specially designed to have an overview of the scenery of Taiye Lake. Under the breeze of the lake, the group of people were dancing with ribbons. There is an illusion that I will ride the wind back home in the next moment.
She squinted her eyes for a moment, then turned her head and told Wei Hengyan the results of her inquiry, "...my cousin told me these. Based on my understanding of him, there should be no lies in it."
Wei Hengyan thanked him repeatedly and said, "I have also heard about the conduct of Prince Yi Guo. Is there anything to doubt?"
Because Wei Hengyan's stepmother also came into the palace today, she couldn't wait for the news. After chatting with Yun Fenghuang for a few words, she hurriedly left, planning to discuss it with her stepmother.
When leaving, he asked Yun Fenghuang: "Do you want to go down together?"
"No need." But Yun Fenghuang refused, "You also said that the excitement down there has nothing to do with us. This is my first time in Xiaoyingzhou. I'll stay here to watch for a while."
Wei Hengyan left alone.
The high platform where only the master and servant were left suddenly fell silent. Xile looked at the small dot in the distance with some uneasiness. It was a small small boat, and what was carried in it was the queen who was being held by Yun Fenghuang. Xijing and Miaocai were sent back to the harem to help Yun Qingman get medicine.
"What are you looking at?" Although she was standing behind Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang seemed to be aware of it. He suddenly turned his head and said lukewarmly, "There is no shelter here, so let's go. Go into the woods and catch your breath."
Xile quickly composed herself and whispered: "Master, this maid is just worried that Xijing is the Queen's wife after all..."
Yun Fenghuang chuckled lightly and said: "Is the Queen a very strange person? Aren't you also from Yanfu Palace?"
"...My maid is just worried that the Queen will have doubts." Xile whispered, "After all, Zhaoyuan..."
Yun Fenghuang interrupted her: "When did I say that Ji Zhaoyuan would be involved in this matter?"
Xile was stunned and said subconsciously: "But just now you told Xijing in private..."
"I'm just a palace maid who asked Xijing Haosheng to entertain Qingman." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "After all, she is the person who serves Qingman. Who doesn't know what my relationship is with Qingman? We are not sisters. They are better than sisters. My lord, how can I neglect you?"
Xile didn't dare to speak.
After following Yun Fenghuang and walking into the woods for a while, she whispered: "The prince sent a message before, saying that he had something to do and wanted to meet you again..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Fenghuang suddenly changed his expression and shouted in a low voice: "Who is there?!"
Xile was startled and looked along her line of sight. She saw among the stacked pine branches in front of her. Occasionally, the wind blew by, and the branches and leaves swayed and drooped, revealing a corner of a light crimson brocade robe!
"Since we are destined to meet each other, why don't you come down and meet me?" Yun Fenghuang waved his hand to signal Xile to be silent. He took two steps forward and said with a sneer, "Or do you have other agendas, so you feel guilty and dare not show your true colors? "
The man in the tree didn't speak for a while, and then he said coldly and calmly: "We meet by chance, how about we keep in touch with each other?"
If Xile hadn't mentioned Gong Xiangxiao's private appointment just now, Yun Fenghuang wouldn't have wanted to get involved. After all, as a concubine, it was not suitable for her to meet her husband in private.
But who could tell Xile not to be careful and even say "see you again"? Doesn't that mean she admitted that she and Gong Xiangxiao had already met?
How could Yun Fenghuang be willing to just let it go at this moment?
She then sneered, pulled out the bun from her bun, threw it to the ground, raised her hand to grab the skirt of her clothes, tilted her head and told Xile: "Run!"
Xile was startled and didn't understand what he meant.
Yun Fenghuang frowned: "Your master was wandering in Songling and met a disciple who intended to molest the emperor's concubines. As a weak woman, you can't protect me. Shouldn't you go down the mountain immediately for help?"
"Ah...oh...but...servant, go right now!" If you don't go around in circles, the emperor's concubine who is molested will usually not end well... But after Yun Fenghuang gave her a hard look, she immediately didn't dare to object.
Then she ran a few steps, and the foreign man hiding among the pine branches had to jump down and shouted to stop her: "Wait a minute!"
When this man first appeared, Yun Fenghuang's master and servant were slightly startled. Gain did not expect that he would be a beautiful young man with picturesque features.
He looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, almost a year younger than Qi Jiulu. She has a beautiful appearance and a jade-like skin. If it weren't for the distinct Adam's apple on her neck and her slender figure, she would look like a woman disguised as a man.
"...How are you doing?" This young man was wearing a light crimson brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist. His long dark hair was neatly tied into a red gold inlaid and curved crown. This was a common attire for young men attending banquets today. It's just that he doesn't have the sparkle of his age. His peach blossom eyes, which are usually the most affectionate, are cold and lifeless.
At this moment, he raised his eyes to look at Yun Fenghuang, with disgust and weariness between his eyebrows that he was too lazy to hide, "I have no intention of talking about people's preferences behind their backs. If you are worried about it just now... I can swear not to spread a single word about it."
Yun Fenghuang snorted and said: "If the oath worked, would all the heartless and heartless people in this world be dead long ago? I never believe this!"
The scarlet-robed boy frowned: "Then what do you want?"
"What are you doing here?" Yun Fenghuang asked without answering, "You don't even have a servant with you?"
The scarlet-robed boy's face darkened: "This seems to have nothing to do with you!"
Yun Fenghuang sneered and looked at Xile who had already walked to him: "You're stupid! I asked you to go down and call someone, are you stupid?! What are you still standing here for?"
He immediately looked at the young man provocatively, and wrote on his face: If you don't tell me now, you can explain it later when people come.
"...This move will only hurt both sides." The scarlet-robed boy took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "Please make it clear what your plans are, and there is no need to keep showing off."
After a pause, he said, "And I am not being rude to your master and servants. This is the truth. I am not afraid to investigate thoroughly! Even if the matter involves the harem and the matter becomes serious, the elders in the family are not weak people who can be bullied."
Are you bringing up your elders to blackmail me?
Yun Fenghuang curled his lips in disdain and said, "Thank you for reminding me!"
But he waved Xile back to him.
Seeing this situation, both the scarlet-robed boy and Xile thought that she was going to give up the threat and negotiate properly, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
The next moment, Yun Fenghuang grabbed Xile's robe and hair and tore it, making her hair disheveled and her clothes torn. If she hadn't covered her chest subconsciously, she would have been exposed. Just as she was surprised, she saw the master leaning over to pick up the hairpin she had thrown from the ground, put it back into her hair, and quickly straightened her clothes. She smiled at the two dumbfounded people: "I had been with that fool Nianxuan before, and I forgot about it. Now she is following me, and she is smart. Why should I do everything myself?"
Accusing the young man in red robes for molesting the emperor's concubine would indeed implicate himself.
But if the person being molested was the emperor's concubine's attendant or the palace maid, although the nature of the molested person was still the boldness of the outsider who coveted the emperor, Yun Fenghuang, the instigator, could get away with it?
Looking at her hesitation when she attacked the attendant, she knew that if the incident really happened, she didn't care what would happen to Xile.
The young man in the red robe took a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to hold back the curse that came out of his mouth in anger.
He had never seen such a shameless person!!!
