I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

Chapter 272: Sending Out of Beijing

Early the next morning,

Feng Zhaoyun, dressed in her dark red official robes, was preparing to attend court early in the morning. Arriving at the gate of the mansion, she stopped and turned around, "Please inform the Crown Princess that I will be staying in the palace after court. If you need anything, please come and see me."

The guard at the door said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Everyone went to the palace. The empress had issued an oral order, asking her to stay in the palace to personally arrange all matters concerning Nangong Shang. Leaving the palace yesterday was already a disobedience to the order.

Arriving at the main hall, Feng Zhaoyun entered.

Everyone knelt and bowed, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Feng Zhaoyun said as he walked, "Get up."

She walked to her seat and sat down. Everyone then saw that her head was wrapped in white cloth, and she seemed to be injured.

Duke Feng was standing there, and when he saw Feng Zhaoyun's head, he sneered.

At this moment, Prime Minister Jiang wanted to approach her and curtseyed respectfully, "Your Highness, may I know what injuries you have sustained?"

Feng Zhaoyun mechanically turned his head to look at her, smiling faintly, "Your Majesty smashed it."

Jiang Xiangguo was startled and swallowed hard, the words of comfort and flattery that he had prepared to say stopped in his mouth. "Your Highness... forgive me."

Feng Zhaoyun's lips curled slightly, "Step back."

Prime Minister Jiang left in embarrassment.

After looking around the hall, Xiao Yushan was nowhere to be found. Just as Feng Zhaoyun was wondering, Zhou Fuhai came out and said, "Your Majesty has arrived."

Everyone knelt and bowed, "Long live His Majesty."

The Empress came out and saw Feng Zhaoyun bowing below. Noticing the cloth wrapped around her head, she averted her gaze and said, "My dear ministers, please stand."

Everyone, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Feng Zhaoyun did not sit down, but stood at the bottom.

The morning court began and officials began to report on various matters.

At this time, Prime Minister Jiang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, an entire family in the suburbs of Beijing was massacred. The governor of Kyoto reported this to me. I noticed something was amiss and took my men to investigate. We discovered it wasn't just a simple murder. There were quite a few murderers, and the knives they used were those used by regular soldiers. This case may require the mobilization of a large number of personnel, so I would like to ask for your Majesty's instructions."

The empress thought for a moment and raised her head. "Mobilize all the troops in the capital. Where is General Xiao Siying?"

Xiao Siying stepped out of the group and knelt down, "I am here."

Empress, "You will lead a team of Xiao family soldiers to jointly handle the case."

Xiao Siying and the other ministers said, "I obey your order."

During the entire morning court session, the princess did not utter a single word. She remained cold and expressionless throughout, and the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.

The Empress naturally noticed that everyone present was secretly looking at the Princess, "Princess."

Feng Zhaoyun bowed slightly, "Your son is here."

The empress snorted, "You look like this so early in the morning, you must be dissatisfied with me."

Everyone was shocked.

Feng Zhaoyun bowed his head calmly and said, "I dare not."

The Empress said calmly, "Your Highness, you have been disrespectful in the court. You will be punished to kneel here for an hour. If you have nothing else to do, please leave the court."

After saying this, all the court officials knelt and bowed, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

The empress stood up and left the main hall. Feng Zhaoyun lifted the corner of her robe and knelt down.

The ministers bowed slightly to her and quickly left the place, all of them discussing the matter in groups.

The empress went towards the Yangxin Palace. Lunch was ready at that time. Zhou Fuhai was personally serving the dishes, and a young eunuch was kneeling below her.

Empress, "What's the matter?"

The young eunuch said, "Your Majesty, County Lady Xiao has regained consciousness and is currently in the palace with General Xiao, awaiting your Majesty's order. Lord Bai... has taken the medicine, but remains unconscious. This time, his injuries are extremely severe, but his life is not in danger."

The empress picked up the soup and said, "Since County Lady Xiao is alright, please go back and take the reward with you. As for Bai Mohan..."

The Empress raised her head and said, "Immediately send him out of the capital and to the imperial palace. Never again will he be allowed to enter the capital."

At this time, Zhou Fuhai was beside him, "Your Majesty, please... inform Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Zhou Fuhai naturally knew that Feng Zhaoyun was the empress's most beloved treasure. He was afraid that the relationship between mother and daughter would only become more strained if the empress did this.

The empress put the bowl down heavily, "I am still here, why do I need to inform her!"

Everyone in the hall knelt down, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

At this time, Feng Zhaoyun was kneeling alone in the middle of the main hall. After everyone dispersed, she was the only one left in the hall, making the main hall seem extremely large.

Suddenly Feng Zhaoyun's figure became a little dazed, he swayed, and fell to one side.

Jiuyi quickly caught it, "Your Highness! Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician!"

Feng Zhaoyun supported Jiuyi and tried to clear her mind. She held her forehead and said, "It's nothing... Maybe the wound is inflamed."

Since last night, she has been feeling weak all over, occasionally dizzy, and very uncomfortable, and she doesn't know why.

After a while, the imperial physician rushed in with a medicine box and knelt beside her, "Your Highness, let me take a look at you."

Feng Zhaoyun was still kneeling, with Jiuyi supporting him.

The imperial physician examined her wound and said with a puzzled look, "Your Highness, perhaps you are a little weak from the injury you received yesterday and the punishment of kneeling today. I will go and prescribe medicine for you right away."

After saying this, the imperial physician left.

This news quickly reached the Empress. She had just finished her lunch and was drinking her tea as she listened to the Imperial Physician's report. "Tell her to eat quickly. Don't let her collapse in the main hall. It would make her look like I'm being harsh on her!"

Zhou Fuhai's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "I'll make the arrangements right away."

In the side hall of the Yangxin Palace, Feng Zhaoyun sat at the table. Jiuyi was changing the medicine on her forehead. The table was full of the same food as the empress's. It was obvious that although the empress punished her, she doted on her very much in her heart.

A young eunuch knelt down and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty has said that you should have a good rest."

Feng Zhaoyun didn't say anything, and the atmosphere was a little cold for a moment.

Jiuyi said quickly, "Your Highness is too weak to speak. Please all leave."

At this time, everyone retreated, and only Jiuyi and Feng Zhaoyun were left in the room.

Jiuyi was serving food nearby. "Your Highness, the secret guards have reported that Lord Bai is still unconscious and has been sent to the imperial palace outside the capital by His Majesty."

Feng Zhaoyun paused as he picked up his chopsticks, then continued to pick up the dishes calmly. "Send a team of people to protect him. Don't neglect him. Treat him like the master of the mansion."

Jiuyi, "Yes, Your Highness, there is one more thing."

Feng Zhaoyun said, "But there is news."

Jiuyi nodded. "Feng Yaoxue disappeared from the imperial city after being driven out of the palace yesterday. It seems she is related to the murder case outside the capital."

Feng Zhaoyun smiled, "It's okay, just protect the villa. His Majesty can't bear to kill her, so we'll let her commit suicide a little longer."

Jiuyi, "Yes."

...........

Soon, two people in the palace left the palace. One was the popular Princess Xiao, and the other was the disliked Crown Princess, Bai Mohan.

Two teams set out from the gate of the palace.

Xiao Qingyue lifted the curtain and saw a carriage in front of her. She looked at Xiao Yushan inside the carriage and said, "Mother, that is..."

Xiao Yushan took a look and said, "It must be that fellow Bai Mohan. When you were killed yesterday, he was nearly killed by His Highness the Regent Nangong Shang on the other side of the Imperial Garden. Last night, His Highness the Princess tried to protect him. I heard that he was hit on the head by His Majesty. He was ordered to be sent out of Kyoto. Without the emperor's order, he will never return."

It seemed as if she hadn't expected that he would be so easy to deal with. Is this the end of it?

Xiao Qingyue lowered the carriage curtain, her brows half closed, "Yesterday, thanks to Your Highness, you saved my life again."

Xiao Yushan sighed, "After three or four times, it seems you and Her Royal Highness are not meant to be together. Don't meet each other in the future to avoid any further trouble."

Xiao Qingyue said nothing and looked out the window...

But what can I do? I can no longer let her go in my heart...
