Chapter 35 [35] Preferences and Exceptions
"Your Majesty!!!" Defei didn't believe her words. The emperor didn't understand what she meant, but this concerned Gong Lanqin's life and death, so how could she make a decision!

"My beloved, you can eat more, but don't say anything nonsense. You know the priorities of things, and you know the dignity that a royal princess should have."

The emperor had a gloomy expression and cold eyes, without a trace of warmth, as he directly sentenced Gong Lanqin to death.

Before Concubine De could make a choice, a purple afterimage flashed, and then the Sixth Princess Gong Lanqin, who was fighting fiercely with beggars in the corner of the cold palace, was thrown out.

"Your Majesty, Concubine De is right. The person who did such a shameful thing was indeed the Sixth Princess."

"I never thought that the Sixth Princess, as a princess of the royal family, would be so lowly to the core. In order to satisfy her own desires, she would not hesitate to do that kind of thing with beggars, and not just one."

Gong Yanchen appeared as Feng Wushang, his purple eyes were cold and his gaze was cruel. He directly lifted the veil of the royal family. If Gong Lanqin dared to be cruel to the little thing, he would never let her off easily.

The emperor's face was extremely gloomy, and he was so angry that he kicked Concubine De out: "My good Concubine De! Is this the daughter you taught?"

"She is so lewd and mean, is it all because of you?"

In order to maintain the face of the royal family, the emperor did not hesitate to slander the reputation of Concubine De. He would never allow Concubine De and her daughter to be alive. His eyes swept across the people present fiercely. If possible, he wanted to kill them all to silence them!
"I am guilty of this, and I hope Your Majesty will punish me! This is all my fault, and Your Majesty please don't implicate innocent people."

Concubine De looked ashen and was gasping for breath. The emperor had kicked her in the heart with all his strength. She was afraid that she would not survive and just wanted to take all the blame on herself and not implicate her mother's family.

"It's fine for Concubine De to teach her daughter, but it caused the Sixth Princess Gong Lanqin to gather people to commit adultery in the harem. From now on, she will be demoted to a commoner, given a white silk, and her three clans will be executed!"

"The Sixth Princess Gong Lanqin was demoted to a commoner and given poisoned wine."

The emperor had a sinister look on his face as he glanced around, silently telling everyone present that if anything about what happened today got out, the entire family would be punished and no one would be able to escape.

This sudden change frightened everyone present so much that their faces turned pale. They all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Our emperor is wise, long live the emperor!" After that, no one dared to say another word. They stayed silent if possible.

"Palace Master, are you satisfied with my handling of the matter?" Emperor Jing suppressed his anger and wished he could tear Feng Wushang into pieces. Originally, this royal scandal could have been suppressed and would not have been exposed to the public. It was all the fault of the damn Feng Wushang.

Feng Wushang's mask concealed a beautiful face filled with disdain: "Your Majesty is wrong. Making mistakes is not terrible. What is terrible is not being able to recognize your own mistakes."

"Today's incident was the Sixth Princess' fault. What has it got to do with me?" Feng Wushang said jokingly. His words made Emperor Jing so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Feng Lingyan's cat-like eyes flashed with bright light as she looked at Gong Yanchen. She really wanted to hug him. Did he go back to Shengjing just to vent her anger?

Feng Lingyan really wanted to tell Gong Yanchen that she had never intended to let Gong Lanqin go. Even if he didn't come back, she would make Gong Lanqin pay a heavy price.

"Empress! I have something important to attend to, so I'll leave first. Listen to me. I don't want anything bad to happen during today's chrysanthemum viewing banquet."

Emperor Jing was holding a lot of anger and had no place to vent it, so he went straight to the Queen. If the Queen made the slightest mistake, he would depose her from her position.

After the Queen understood Emperor Jing's thoughts, her face suddenly changed, and she quickly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell. I will definitely organize the chrysanthemum viewing banquet well, and there will be no more mistakes."

After the Queen finished speaking, she looked deeply at Madam Feng, and the meaning was obvious, asking her to quickly inform Shangguan Hong that the plan was cancelled. Feng Wushang also pursed his lips and smiled softly, looking at Feng Lingyan: "My dear disciple, have fun later. If anyone dares to be ignorant and pick a fight with you, do you know what to do?"

In front of so many people, Feng Wushang gave all his love and affection to Feng Lingyan. In his eyes, Feng Lingyan was the only one who could gain his favor and exception.

"Master, don't worry. My whip is not vegetarian." Feng Lingyan raised the long whip in her hand, revealing her domineering aura. Her arrogant little look won Gong Yanchen's heart.

"Very good, Master has something to do, you have fun, Qin Yue, you stay and protect my good disciple."

"If there are those who are blind, just deal with them right away without worrying about the consequences."

Feng Wushang, who was used to being arrogant, reached out and rubbed Feng Lingyan's head, and his boyfriend power instantly exploded.

The situation was very complicated in the eyes of everyone present. Many of them wanted to see a good show. They really wanted to see what kind of Shura scene would be when Gong Yanchen and Feng Wushang faced off.

The ladies and young ladies from various mansions who had come excitedly to attend the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet now felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly and wished they had never been there.

If you know such a secret of the royal family, you will lose your head if you are not careful.

"I obey your command." Qin Yue appeared silently, shocking everyone present.

Feng Lingyan quickly waved at Feng Wushang and said, "Master, take care. I won't see you off."

Feng Lingyan's heart was overflowing with sweetness, and her cat-like pupils turned into two crescent moons when she smiled, making the ladies and young ladies present not only envious and jealous, but also hateful.

But the Queen held a chrysanthemum viewing banquet with a clear purpose. In addition to donating military pay to the soldiers on the border, she also wanted to select a princess and concubine for the Crown Prince.

As the chrysanthemum viewing banquet proceeded as planned, as expected, Feng Lingxue took the lead and was elected as the Crown Princess, while Lu Yaoyue, the daughter of the Minister of War Lu Yunze, and Chen Xinru, the daughter of the Minister of Rites Chen Lixing, were chosen as the Crown Prince's concubines.

For a time, some people were happy and some were sad.

For example, Feng Lingxue at this moment was secretly delighted that she had finally gotten her wish and was elected Crown Princess. At the same time, she secretly hated the Queen, who wanted to win over the Minister of War and the Minister of Rites to let their daughter become the Crown Prince's concubine.

Little did she know that Shangguan Linlang was jealous of Feng Lingxue to the point of going crazy. She had not expected that the Queen would take action so quickly, leaving her no time at all to convince her grandfather to allow her to participate in the selection of the Crown Prince's concubine.

Feng Lingyan witnessed one good show after another, she watched calmly, she really liked to see the person she hated get everything she wanted first, and then she would take it away little by little. She was looking forward to what kind of expression would appear on Feng Lingxue's face when she took away everything she had in the future.

After Feng Lingyan drank cup after cup of fruit wine, her face became stained with rouge. She had not expected that this ancient fruit wine would have such a strong aftereffect that it could make her, a heavy drinker, slightly tipsy.

"Princess, you've drunk too much. Do you want me to take you back to the palace?" Mei was extremely surprised. Looking at Feng Lingyan's appearance, she could foresee how angry His Majesty would be after seeing it.
