Chapter 151 Visiting the Emperor
Chapter 151 Visiting the Emperor
next day
After the empress woke up, she handled government affairs and prepared to have dinner in the imperial garden. Thinking of Feng Yaoxue, she asked someone to bring her here.
Feng Yaoxue had changed into the attire of a princess at this time. She no longer looked like a servant, and seemed to have regained her former aloof and noble appearance.
At this time, supported by the palace maids, he walked into the imperial garden. This action could not help but cause the empress to frown, but she was very flexible.
She must have endured a lot of torture, enduring humiliation to survive until now. When I saw her yesterday, she still had the demeanor of a slave. But after just one night, she was back to her old self.
Feng Yaoxue had applied medicine to the needle holes and rotten flesh on her mouth. She wore a veil for fear of scaring the empress.
After entering the Imperial Garden, he politely bowed to the Empress as usual, but said nothing.
The empress said, "Sit down."
The palace maid quickly set the table for her.
The Empress ate her meal but didn't say much to her. Feng Yaoxue watched the palace maids spread the food but didn't pick up her chopsticks.
After the meal, the Queen saw that she was not eating, so she had the food removed.
Zhou Fuhai immediately ordered someone to serve fragrant tea and also prepared a portion for Feng Yaoxue.
The Queen looked at her daughter and finally softened her heart. "Now that you have lost your tongue, write it down. Write down the whole story."
After hearing this, Feng Yaoxue nodded obediently, then picked up the pen awkwardly with her left hand. It was not that she didn't want to use her right hand, but Bai Mohan had chopped off several fingers on her right hand, so she really couldn't write.
She picked up the pen, tremblingly wrote a few words, and presented them to the empress.
The Queen took it, glanced at it, and then said, "Is that true?"
Feng Yaoxue lowered her head and nodded quickly.
The Queen sighed and said, "Your Ninth Sister said in front of the palace that day that you were abducted by the Prince of Yan State, and that the Crown Princess was also involved in this matter. I wonder if this is true?"
Feng Yaoxue quickly shook her head, indicating that it was not...
The Queen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your father and sister have committed an unforgivable crime punishable by death. They will be executed in two days. You can go and see them for the last time."
After saying this, the Empress stood up and said, "I decree that the Third Princess Feng Yaoxue has been found. Her status as an Imperial Princess has been restored. She has been removed from all positions and is forbidden from interfering in government affairs forever."
Zhou Fuhai and the others knelt down and saluted, "Yes."
Afterwards, the palace maid helped Feng Yaoxue up, and Zhou Fuhai gestured to the young eunuch beside him, "Take the Third Prince to the Heavenly Prison."
The young eunuch received the order and said, "Yes."
Feng Yaoxue stood up and followed the eunuch. In fact, she also wanted to see what Feng Yaoyu looked like now. She had clearly seen her in Bai Mohan's house, but did not rescue her. Even if she was not executed, she would never forgive her.
When they arrived at the Heavenly Prison, the officer saw the eunuch in front of the emperor holding a token and followed by a veiled woman. After questioning him, he let him go.
At this time in the sky prison, the emperor's husband Jun Yang and Feng Yaoyu were only separated by a wall and were imprisoned together, but they could still see each other through the wood.
The emperor was wearing a bloody white robe, his hair was disheveled, and he was lying on a pile of hay. There was dried blood at the corners of his mouth, as if he had suffered a lot.
Although Feng Yaoyu had marks of whipping on her body, she was in much better condition than her husband. She was currently huddled in a corner of the cell, hugging her legs.
It has to be said that it was already a cold winter, and it was even colder in the prison, yet the two of them were still wearing only a thin inner garment.
Hearing someone coming, Feng Yaoyu looked up first. After seeing the veiled and elegantly dressed woman, she got up like crazy and ran towards Feng Yaoxue.
She thought it was Feng Zhaoyun who came, but when she got closer, she saw that the eyes were not Feng Zhaoyun's, so she was a little disappointed, then turned around and walked back with disdain.
Feng Yaoxue looked at Feng Yaoyu, then glanced at the maid beside her. The maid said, "The Third Prince has come here to visit this guilty minister."
When Feng Yaoyu heard the words "Third Prince", she was stunned and turned around quickly. Feng Yaoxue lifted her veil, and her scarred mouth was smiling.
The emperor in the cell next door also heard these words. Although his internal organs were aching like needles, he still struggled and crawled to the edge of the cell.
The Emperor's voice trembled, and he stretched out his hand towards Feng Yaoxue, "Yaoxue? But Yaoxue!"
Feng Yaoxue turned her head and looked at her husband coldly, then looked away.
Seeing her indifferent look, yet still unwilling to give up, the Emperor's husband burst into tears, "Yao Xue, you are here to save father!"
Feng Yaoyu glanced at her and sneered, "You're still dreaming! How could your precious daughter be here to save us in this state? What's the matter, Feng Yaoxue? You don't want to be a lowly dancer anymore, so you want to be a princess again?"
Feng Yaoxue frowned, looking very unhappy. Then she turned around and smiled at the young eunuch. The maid behind her came forward, stuffed a piece of silver into the eunuch's ear, and whispered something into his ear.
The young eunuch bowed to her and said, "Third Prince, I will wait for you outside."
After the young eunuch left, Feng Yaoxue looked fierce, and then signaled to several maids beside her, called the officials, opened Feng Yaoyu's cell, and gave the officials silver.
The officer understood and took out a whip soaked in salt water and walked towards Feng Yaoyu. Suddenly, screams were heard from the cell...
While Feng Yaoyu was being beaten, she didn't forget to curse her, "Feng Yaoxue, you lowly dancer, bitch! Waste!"
The emperor was leaning against the wall in the nearby cell, watching the scene in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the daughter he had carefully cared for and raised since she was a child would treat him like this.
It was not until Feng Yaoyu was beaten to the ground, covered in blood, that Feng Yaoxue signaled to stop.
Then she walked into the cell and stepped on Feng Yaoyu's hand with her exquisite embroidered shoes. She looked down at Feng Yaoyu.
Feng Yaoyu couldn't even lift her head at this moment, and could only let her step on her fingers...
Feng Yaoxue then turned around coldly, walked out of the cell, and headed straight out.
The emperor shouted with all his might, "Yao Xue!"
Feng Yaoxue left without even looking back and was very ruthless.
After leaving the cell, Feng Yaoxue regained her gentle look and followed the young eunuch out of the Ministry of Justice.
Feng Yaoxue went straight back to the Third Princess's residence, while the young eunuch immediately returned to the palace to report.
Kneeling in the imperial study, the empress said after hearing this, "Oh? She really beat Feng Yaoyu."
The young eunuch presented the silver in his hand and said, "I dare not speak nonsense."
The Queen's expression was indifferent. "Keep it and leave."
After the young eunuch left, the empress looked at the few words Feng Yaoxue had written at noon in her hand: I led troops privately to rescue the prince, was ambushed and killed by bandits, suffered this humiliation, and was saved by the princess. I hope Your Majesty will forgive my crime.
The Queen said, "Go to the Crown Princess's Mansion in person and ask Yun'er where to find the Third Princess."
Zhou Fuhai saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
