At the Penal Department Office, Yan Fuguang came out of the cell with blood on his clothes.
Aunt Zhong had already sent someone to greet Fang Jinbao and told him to take Yan Fuguang back to his house as soon as his shift ended and not wander around outside.
Fang Jinbao also knew that this matter involved his heirs and could not be careless, so as soon as he saw Yan Fuguang, he stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.
Yan Fuguang's expression fluctuated slightly only when he heard the words "fetal fluid" from beginning to end.
He frowned and said concisely: "Go back home."
Fang Jinbao sighed and got into the carriage. His Highness has not been angry for a long time. Someone must be in trouble this time.
Jingfeng and the three of them were gagged and thrown into the woodshed. The guards stood by and watched closely, not giving anyone a chance to interfere.
As soon as Yan Fuguang came back, Aunt Zhong described the cause and effect again: "Your Highness, I went to see Concubine Wei. Fortunately, the fetus is fine."
"Yes." Yan Fuguang sat on the chair, with Jing Feng, Xue'er and the little maid kneeling in front of him.
The guard pulled out the handkerchief from Jing Feng's mouth, and she said before Xue'er could speak: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, but I didn't want to harm Concubine Wei, it was all Concubine Bai's idea!"
Xue'er was so scared that she was trembling all over, biting her back molars and wanting to eat Jing Feng alive right away. Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance.
"Your Majesty, I don't know anything about this. Concubine Zhang is a rogue. I haven't come out of the house since this morning. The other concubines can prove it."
Grandma Zhong glanced at Xue'er deeply, and ordered the maid behind her to go get evidence from other concubines who lived close to Xue'er.
"As for the medicinal powder in Concubine Zhang's mouth and the tampered pebbles, I only just found out about such dirty tricks!" For some embroidery work, I was brought here and imprisoned in the firewood shed for some unknown reason. Please ask the prince to clear my name, otherwise how will I get along with Wei Shiconcubine in the future?"
Soon, the person ordered by Grandma Zhong to verify the authenticity came back. As Xue'er said, several other concubines could prove that she had not been out since the morning.
Then Jingfeng's "false accusation" is untenable.
Aunt Zhong leaned close to Yan Fuguang's ear: "Your Highness, I have already investigated, and the powder is indeed closely related to Concubine Zhang. At around midnight this morning, a servant saw her heading towards the abandoned yard, and I also Some evidence was found in her house."
The medicinal powder and cotton stained with oil and water were laid out. Jing Feng looked at Xue'er in disbelief, her body trembling unintentionally.
Mandong was listening quietly, but finally couldn't help but knelt down: "Please make the decision, Your Majesty. If Wei Wei's concubine hadn't suddenly suffered from abdominal pain today, she would have definitely fallen into the trap. Our concubine doesn't like to move around on weekdays, so with Zhang Concubine Wei and Concubine Bai may not say they have a deep love for each other, but I am sure they have never offended them, so I am really afraid of Concubine Wei."
Yan Fuguang rubbed the ring on his thumb, then stood up, pointed his finger at Jingfeng and the little maid, and uttered two words on his thin lips: "Kill with a stick."
Jingfeng struggled to get up, and the guards quickly went up to restrain her and then blocked her mouth.
A muffled sound rang out in the yard. Xue'er knelt aside and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she witnessed the death of Jing Feng and the little maid.
Blood spray splashed on her body, and Xueer saw with her own eyes that Jingfeng was staring at her with wide eyes before she died.
The uneasiness and fear in her heart suddenly formed into a mass of evil energy, strangled her throat.
She suddenly couldn't breathe and fainted completely.
**
The death of Jing Feng and the little maid was spread in the palace.
Killing chickens to scare monkeys is the best way to shock people, so Aunt Zhong and Fang Jinbao turned a blind eye and pretended, allowing all kinds of exaggerated, half-true and half-false rumors to circulate in the house.
"Concubine Zhang was beaten into pieces and fed to the dogs!!"
"It's true! Didn't you say you were just beaten to death? Don't be scary!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. There is a guard inside who is a relative of mine. I listened to what he said. How can this be false!"
"Oh my god, it won't be me next..."
"Who knows, what if the prince suddenly becomes unhappy with you!"
…
Lu Qing's mouth opened slightly, and his expression seemed speechless: "Kung Fu has been spread so randomly all of a sudden?"
Ji Qin was also funny: "Yes, but it's normal. The servants are usually bored when they are on errands, and they always like to talk about new things in the house. However, Grandma Zhong and Eunuch Fang are very strict and usually don't let everyone talk..."
The master and servant were talking, and Yan Fuguang appeared in Qiyun Pavilion.
Without squinting his eyes, he strode towards the bed, raised his right hand, and motioned to the white-bearded doctors following behind him to check Lu Qing's pulse.
The atmosphere in the room was full of oppression due to his arrival. Lu Qing became nervous and obediently stretched out her wrist.
The result was the same as Dr. Jiang’s diagnosis.
Yan Fuguang sat down on the stool and looked level with Lu Qing sitting on the bed: "How do you feel?"
Lu Qing lowered her eyes and replied: "It's okay, it just hurt for a moment, and it will be fine later."
After saying this, the two fell into silence.
After about another time of burning incense, Yan Fuguang continued to ask: "Your maid said that she went back to ask the maid from Yueyuan to find the doctor to see you?"
Lu Qing nodded and admitted, "Yes, I was in a panic at that time. Man Dong was afraid of being delayed, so he asked Ji Qin to accompany me back to Qiyun Pavilion first."
She thought everything made sense, but Yan Fuguang still found a loophole.
"Since your situation is urgent, why didn't you take her back to Qiyun Pavilion as soon as you found the medical girl? Instead, you went to see the maid at Yaoyueyuan?"
Oops, the secret is revealed!
Lu Qing shrank her neck and didn't think about how to answer. She pursed her lips and looked at Yan Fuguang timidly.
She has a pair of really unforgettable eyes, and Yan Fuguang was deeply impressed by her eyes from the beginning. Bright and clear, you can see any emotion she wants you to see from her eyes. Only she knows whether it is true or false.
Just like now, Yan Fuguang knew that her abdominal pain might just be a cover-up, but the look in her eyes was full of fear and fear, which made people unbearable to criticize her.
In fact, Yan Fuguang didn't intend to blame her. After all, it was her ability to anticipate and avoid danger.
Lu Qing was uneasy. She didn't think she was at fault, but she couldn't bear the thought that the person in front of her had the power of life and death. What if she was pursued?
The brocade quilt in the palm of her hand was wrinkled by her, and Yan Fuguang suddenly said: "It's not stupid."
After making an unclear comment, he did not continue the topic.
Lu Qing's tense back relaxed, and the little guy in his belly was a very discerning person. He had been holding it in for a long time, and now he really kicked Lu Qing.
"Ah..." she cried out in pain.
Yan Fuguang immediately frowned and stepped forward to check.
"It's okay, the child kicked my concubine."
Yan Fuguang raised an eyebrow, covered it with his broad palm and patted it gently, as if to tell the child in his belly to behave better.
