Chapter 271: Death of Bai Mohan
Chapter 271: Death of Bai Mohan
imperial study room,
Looking at her most beloved daughter below, the empress raised her eyebrows slightly, "Before, I gave you Bai Mohan in marriage, but you flatly refused. Now, for him, you first injured Xiao Qingyue's eyes, and then beat Bai Jinzhi for him, and you want to divorce the princess.
Now that Bai Mohan has committed such a serious crime, you still want to defend him at all costs and take the punishment for him. Why?"
Feng Zhaoyun's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Yes, now whenever she thought of Bai Mohan, she felt extremely happy. She found other people boring. Why was it that...
Seeing that she remained silent, the empress spoke, "No matter what Feng Yaoxue is, she is still the princess of our Shang Kingdom. Since Bai Mohan has married into the Shang Kingdom, he will be dealt with by the Shang Kingdom. Insulting the princess is a capital crime, so just kill him."
Killed?! Feng Zhaoyun looked up suddenly, extremely shocked, "Your Majesty! Feng Yaoxue once tried to kill me, your son. This is fratricide, and according to the law, it is also a capital crime.
"I was kind to her by not telling the world about this. Mo Han did this for me. Please forgive me for letting her go once, Mother! Please spare Mo Han."
Feng Zhaoyun kowtowed several times, and the floor tiles of the imperial study rang three times. The sound was so loud that Zhou Fuhai, who was waiting outside, frowned. It hurt to hear it...
Feng Zhaoyun's forehead was bleeding from the knock. The Empress felt distressed when she saw it. She looked away, but her words remained cold. "You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of living. You pulled out the princess's tongue and gouged out her eyes, keeping her like a dog. But since you like him so much, I'll spare his eyes."
Feng Zhaoyun looked at the empress. He no longer had the excitement he had just had, but was now calm.
The imperial study became quiet for a moment. Feng Zhaoyun just stared at the empress indifferently without saying a word.
Empress, "Since you have no objection, then..."
Feng Zhaoyun spoke, "Mother."
Feng Zhaoyun said, "I am willing to give up my position as Crown Princess in exchange for a lighter punishment."
A cup was thrown towards her at a very fast speed, hitting her forehead. Feng Zhaoyun's head was immediately broken and bleeding. The blood flowed half of her face and dyed the side of her hair red.
The Empress' eyes were red with anger. "You rebellious girl! You gave up the throne for a man. Do you really think I can't bear to kill you?"
Feng Zhaoyun forced a smile, his eyes fixed on the floor. "Back then, I asked for your hand in marriage to Xiao Qingyue, but you refused. You also cancelled my engagement with Nangong Shang. Even Bai Mohan was a gift from you. Now, I only ask that you let him go and give him a lighter punishment. If you don't wish to see him, I will send him to a villa outside the capital, and he will never enter the palace again."
She knew that according to the law, abusing the princess was a capital crime, and the empress would definitely hold him accountable and would not let him go so easily.
For a long time, the empress remained silent, looking at the people kneeling below. Blood had already flowed into her chest, but she did not frown from beginning to end, as if she felt nothing. The empress sighed, "Your personality is like your father's. Well, in a few days, you will welcome Nangong Shang into the mansion. As you said, I don't want to see Bai Mohan in the future. Tomorrow, I will send him away quickly, and you are not allowed to see him for too long."
Feng Zhaoyun breathed a sigh of relief. She pulled at the hem of her skirt and wanted to stand up to express her gratitude, but she knelt for so long that she almost fell down.
Feng Zhaoyun bowed to the Empress, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The empress waved her hand without looking at her, signaling her to leave.
As soon as they came out of the imperial study, the palace maids and eunuchs at the door were all shocked when they saw the princess's appearance. One palace maid couldn't help but screamed, and was immediately scolded by Zhou Fuhai. Everyone knelt down and didn't dare to look up.
Zhou Fuhai looked at the princess, whose face and chest were covered in blood, and whose head was still bleeding. The empress had hit him very accurately this time, and she must have been really angry.
Zhou Fuhai stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I will help you out."
Feng Zhaoyun refused, "It's okay, I'll go by myself."
Walking towards the door, Jiuyi and Bai Jinzhi were waiting at the door.
The night breeze blew by, and the originally painful wound seemed to no longer hurt. Looking at Bai Jinzhi standing outside the palace gate, he had an extraordinary figure, and his profile alone was very handsome, but... charming...
In her mind, she suddenly entered the Duke's Mansion, the pear tree in Bai Jinzhi's courtyard. He sat on a soft couch beneath the tree, a book in hand. Although he was of noble status, he only liked plain moon-white robes. And in her mind, those charming peach blossom eyes spotted her and looked at her tenderly...
"Your Highness!" A voice broke the picture in her mind.
Feng Zhaoyun came back to his senses.
Bai Jinzhi ran towards her with a panicked look on his face, and pulled her into his arms. Suddenly, she was enveloped by a warm fragrance. She followed his strength and leaned against his chest. For a moment, she actually felt a little warm, but not disgusted....
Jiuyi was terrified and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I will take you back to the mansion and ask for the miracle doctor Ah Zhen."
Bai Jinzhi looked at her with a distressed expression, his hands stained with her blood, "Your Highness, I will hold you in my arms."
Without waiting for her reply, Bai Jinzhi picked her up.
When the palace maids saw this, they all knelt down, not daring to look up.
Bai Jinzhi's pace was very fast, and Jiuyi almost couldn't catch up with him.
At this time, the person in his arms finally spoke, "Take me to Mo Han's palace."
Feeling the hand holding him startled, Bai Jinzhi slowed down his pace and said, "Let's go back home first, okay?"
Feng Zhaoyun smiled slightly with a coaxing tone, "Let's go to his place first."
Bai Jinzhi looked down at the person in his arms, sighed lightly, and agreed to her request, quickly heading towards the palace where Bai Mohan was.
When they arrived at the palace where Bai Mohan was, everyone was stunned to see Bai Jinzhi holding someone. Then, after seeing the bright red robe in the arms, they knew it was the princess. They knelt down to greet her and dared not look again.
Bai Mohan had been bandaged at this time, but his face was pale because he had suffered severe internal injuries. It was conceivable that Nangong Shang really wanted to kill him at that time.
When they reached the door, Feng Zhaoyun said, "Put me down."
Bai Jinzhi gently put her down. Feng Zhaoyun wiped the blood off her face with her wide sleeves and then walked in.
When Bai Mohan saw Feng Zhaoyun, he immediately half-supported himself with his hands, but suddenly tore his wound and frowned.
Feng Zhaoyun hurried forward and supported him, "Mo Han, what's wrong?"
Only then did Bai Mohan see the blood on her body. He panicked for a moment and touched her forehead, "Your Highness, what happened? Who hurt you? Who?"
Feng Zhaoyun smiled gently, held his hand, and pulled it down, "Mo Han, I failed to protect you. If I had treated you better, I would have ordered Jiuyi to personally send you away. I will come to see you again in a few days."
Bai Mohan was slightly stunned, guessing that something must have happened, but he did not get angry with her because of it. Instead, his eyes were full of heartache, "Your Highness, as long as you are okay, it doesn't matter what happens to Mohan. Don't get hurt because of Mohan in the future."
Feng Zhaoyun, "You don't ask why it's like this..."
Bai Mohan smiled gently, his lips pale, and he looked a little sick at this moment. "Your Highness must be doing this for Mohan. Whatever it is, Mohan no longer cares. Your Highness, please ask Dr. Ah Zhen to take a look at the wound. Mohan is here, nothing will happen."
He didn't blame himself for not being able to protect him, but only cared about his own wound. Feng Zhaoyun was sad for a moment and hugged him.
Being hugged tightly, Bai Mohan felt both happy and painful. He grimaced secretly because the knife wound on his chest was quite deep and it hurt so much to be hugged.
After a while, Feng Zhaoyun let him go. "I can't stay here for too long. Mo Han, take good care of your injuries."
Bai Mohan took her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed the back of her hand, his eyes full of tenderness, "Well, Mohan is fine, Your Highness, please go quickly."
After Feng Zhaoyun stood up and left, Bai Mohan leaned against the couch and called his subordinates in a cold voice, "Go and find out what happened."
Guard, "Yes."
..........
After leaving, Feng Zhaoyun just walked out of the palace where Bai Mohan was, and he swayed and almost fell down. He had lost too much blood and felt a little dizzy.
Bai Jinzhi stepped forward to support her, picked her up and headed towards the Princess's Mansion.
When we arrived at the Princess's residence, Ah Zhen was already waiting there.
Main Courtyard,
Feng Zhaoyun leaned in Bai Jinzhi's arms, while Ah Zhen cleaned her wounds. "Ah Yun, isn't she the imperial princess? Who in the palace dared to hurt you like this? This is what happened when you were hit..."
Jiuyi stood nearby, a look of resentment on his face, "Who else could it be? Of course it's His Majesty."
Bai Jinzhi glanced at her coldly, signaling her not to say anything more.
Jiuyi immediately understood and shut up.
Feng Zhaoyun didn't say a word while cleaning the wound.
Ah Zhen threw the bloody cloth into the basin and sighed, "It's okay. Just rest for a few days. I've been feeling a little dizzy lately, but that's normal. Don't move around unless necessary. You need to rest."
Bai Jinzhi looked at her clothes stained with blood and said softly, "Your Highness, may I change your clothes for you?"
The person in his arms sat up and looked at him, "Go back and rest. Thank you, Lady Tai, for today."
So alienated...
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have reminded her and I could have held her for a while longer.
Bai Jinzhi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
After saying that, he turned and left the main courtyard, heading towards his own Jinyun Garden.
A lot had happened tonight and he was indeed tired.
