Chapter 147 Benefits!
next day
The Queen's body was damaged by Feng Yaoyu's poison for a long time. Although the Xue Zhi Wan detoxified her, she was still weak.
At the morning court today, the Emperor's husband, Yang, and Feng Yaoyu, father and daughter, will be punished in public.
At the morning court, Feng Zhaoyun entered the main hall wearing a dark red official robe embroidered with a golden dragon and a golden crown on her head.
Everyone turned and saluted when they saw the princess arrive. However, Feng Zhaoyun did not take her reserved seat, but stood at the front of the hall, waiting to attend court.
Zhou Fuhai came out and shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived."
Everyone straightened their appearance and knelt down in worship, "Long live His Majesty."
The empress came out supported by a palace maid. She looked pale and had lost her former majesty. She looked more like a person who had been ill for a long time.
At this time, the prefect of the Dali Temple came out with a document in his hand. "Your Majesty, this is the confession of the Ninth Princess Feng Yaoyu last night. Please review it."
A young eunuch quickly took it and presented it.
The Queen threw the document on the desk, propped up the table with one hand, and flipped through the document with the other. The hall was completely silent. Not to mention talking, the ministers didn't even dare to move.
Queen: "Bring them up here."
The prefect of the Dali Temple clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
After a while, Feng Yaoyu and the emperor walked into the main hall with iron chains on their hands and feet.
Feng Yaoyu was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, except that she no longer had the outer robe that the princess wore. After a night, Feng Yaoyu's body was now covered in dirt.
There were bloodstains on the corners of the emperor's clothes, and the dried blood on his chin, combined with his messy hair, made him look very disheveled. Everyone looked up quietly, wondering if the Dali Temple had used torture.
When the two men reached the center of the main hall, they were kicked in the knees by the imperial guards behind them and knelt down, but they still did not salute the empress.
At this time, the Queen threw the document to Zhou Fuhai, who quickly took it and began to read it out. Every item in it was a list of the evil deeds that he and his daughter had done over the years.
When Zhou Fuhai read out the decree that he would be executed in three days, Feng Yaoyu suddenly laughed and interrupted Zhou Fuhai's announcement.
At this time, Prime Minister Jiang stepped forward and scolded, "How dare you! You are not allowed to make noise in the hall!"
Feng Yaoyu sat up straight, looked up at the empress, a sinister smile on her dirty face, "Mother, you can't kill me. If you kill me, Feng Yaoxue will never come back!"
When talking about Feng Yaoxue, the emperor turned to look at Feng Yaoyu. Then he heard the sound of iron chains dragging on the ground. The emperor hurriedly asked, "Yu'er, didn't you say that you have never met your third sister?"
Feng Yaoyu sneered and glanced at the emperor with disdain, "As expected, even when death is imminent, your heart still only has that stupid daughter of yours!"
The Queen sat at the head of the table, looking at the two of them indifferently. She said coldly, "The Third Princess, Feng Yaoxue, is also involved in these crimes. Even if she is found, she will be punished!"
The Emperor's husband hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! Please give us another chance! Considering our many years of marriage! Please give us another chance!"
The Queen looked at him, her brows furrowed slightly. "Take him away and execute him in three days. All those involved will be put to death!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Yaoyu collapsed to the ground. She then glared at Feng Zhaoyun fiercely and shouted, "Crown Princess Feng Zhaoyun colluded with the enemy prince! She murdered the princess of our Shang Kingdom and hurt the people of our Shang Kingdom! Isn't she guilty?"
All the ministers in the room now looked towards the princess. Feng Zhaoyun had remained silent the entire time, but upon hearing her words, he slowly took two steps forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I do have a memorial to present."
The Queen said, "Speak."
Feng Zhaoyun said, "This time when I went to Yan State, I accidentally discovered that the eldest prince that Yan State had just announced to the world was found was actually the son of Duke Feng of Shang State, General Feng Yunjin. The current name of the prince is Bai Jinzhi."
At this time, Duke Feng suddenly stepped out and asked, "I wonder if what Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess said is true?" When he said this, the Duke looked incredulous.
Feng Zhaoyun turned and looked at Duke Feng. "It is true. Yesterday, His Highness Bai Jinzhi personally led the troops to assist me in killing the traitors. He is now outside the palace awaiting the announcement."
The Queen said, "Announce."
Bai Jinzhi walked in wearing the clothes of a prince of Yan State. Everyone had seen him yesterday, but they didn't expect that he would become a prince.
Bai Jinzhi arrived in front of the main hall, bowed and said, "Bai Jinzhi of Yan State greets His Majesty."
The Queen looked at the person who came and saw that it was indeed Feng Yunjin. "Your Highness King Jin, please don't be so polite."
At this time, Feng Zhaoyun turned and looked at Feng Yaoyu. "I wonder if what Ninth Princess is talking about is colluding with King Jin? King Jin and I have been in love with each other in Shang Kingdom long ago, so it can't be considered colluding with another country."
Feng Yaoyu chuckled, "Feng Zhaoyun, you're such a good storyteller! You colluded with Bai Mohan and imprisoned Feng Yaoxue! You murdered your siblings, and you dare to say you didn't!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Queen suddenly looked directly at Feng Zhaoyun. If this was true, it was indeed wrong.
Feng Zhaoyun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what the Ninth Princess said is completely false and absurd."
The Queen lost her patience and waved her hand, "Drag him away!"
Seeing that she had lost her chance, Feng Yaoyu quickly shouted, "Mother! I am your daughter! Please forgive me! What I said is true!"
The voice gradually faded away, and the Queen said calmly, "Princess Feng Zhaoyun, you have served the Emperor well this time and deserve a reward. If you are attracted to His Royal Highness King Jin, I will write a letter to the Queen of Yan State and arrange a date for the marriage. I will solemnly marry His Royal Highness King Jin as my legitimate ruler."
At this moment, an official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward upon hearing this and said, "Your Majesty... you have already granted the marriage of Yue Guo Nan Gong to His Majesty as the principal ruler... this..."
The Queen said, "The new emperor of the Moon Kingdom is about to ascend the throne. His Highness Nangong Shang has died of a sudden illness. I am truly sorry, but the position of our Shang Kingdom's Crown Princess cannot be left vacant. I wonder if His Highness, King Jin, would be willing to marry our Crown Princess?"
Bai Jinzhi was about to speak when he was interrupted by a young eunuch, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Mo is seeking an audience outside."
The Queen had heard of Bai Mohan's name a long time ago. Although Prince Mo did help quell the civil strife this time,...
Queen: "Announce."
After Bai Mohan entered the hall, he was walking to Feng Zhaoyun's side when he suddenly twisted his ankle. Feng Zhaoyun caught his ankle and helped Bai Mohan up. This behavior was so ambiguous that everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.
Feng Zhaoyun, who had reacted, suddenly let go and said coldly, "Your Highness, be careful."
Bai Mohan nodded shyly, "Hmm..."
Feng Zhaoyun:.............
Bai Mohan bowed and saluted the Queen. "Bai Mohan greets Your Majesty. This time, I have also helped the Shang Kingdom. I heard that the Shang Kingdom is a great country. I wonder how I can repay you?"
The Queen smiled. He was indeed rude. He actually asked for favors in public. He was just like that man's son. "I wonder what favors His Royal Highness Prince Mo wants? Tell me."
Bai Mohan glanced at Bai Jinzhi and Feng Zhaoyun and was about to speak when Bai Jinzhi sensed something was wrong. His eyes flashed and he quickly spoke up to stop him, "Your Majesty, you don't know that your brother is playful and loves to joke around. How dare he ask for anything in return?"
Being suddenly interrupted, Bai Mohan was very displeased and glanced at Bai Jinzhi, "This prince wants to marry the princess!"
Everyone: ........
Feng Zhaoyun:.......
