C20 Lengthening of the Future

On one side was the main palace empress and on the other was the pampered imperial concubine. The Hall of Punishment couldn't offend either way, so they could only let the people from the Qing Ning Palace take Feng Jing Yi away.

"Qin Xue …" Qin Xue is still here. " Feng Jing Yi said weakly.

Mo Yan pursed her lips, her eyes cold as she asked the hostage of the Hall of Punishment, "What about the other one?"

"That one couldn't endure the torture yesterday. He gritted his teeth and committed suicide. Now, he's been thrown out of the palace." The palace maid replied expressionlessly.

The Hall of Punishment had always been a place where people came in alive and died. In their eyes, the life and death of a palace maid was nothing out of the ordinary.

When Feng Jing Yi heard that, he didn't know where he got the strength from, but he quickly rushed over and grabbed the palace maid's collar, "What did you do to her?"

The woman couldn't help but tremble when she met Feng Jing Yi's cold and scary gaze. She thought about how she was just a palace maid, how could she leave this place alive?

"Dead, he died yesterday. He bit his tongue to commit suicide."

"You …" Feng Jing Yi's eyes instantly filled with killing intent.

"Let's go out first." Mo Yan quickly stepped forward to stop her.

Feng Jing Yi couldn't help but let go as he looked coldly at the palace maid. Every word was as cold as ice, "You will pay with your life for her."

If he hadn't come in to take the blame for her, with such a flowery age, how would he have ended up in such a state?

The woman straightened her clothes and smiled contemptuously, not putting her threat in her eyes, "A lot of people have said those words to us, but most of them have died, and we are still alive and well."

This person would be able to walk out of the Hall of Punishment alive today, but Imperial Concubine Huang would never let her stay alive in the Imperial Palace again.

Feng Jing Yi and co. had just left the Hall of Punishment, but before they arrived at the Qingning Palace, Guan Ji Palace had already received the news, Fu Jinhuang was already waiting for them on the road to the Qingning Palace.

"Should I tell the people I've sent over that the empress is taking them away?"

Mo Yan lowered her head and bowed. "Greetings to Imperial Concubine. This matter is of great importance. Empress said that we should first bring the person back to Qingning Palace and then wait for His Majesty to return to the palace before dealing with him."

Fu Jinhuang glanced at Feng Jing Yi, who was covered in wounds, and snorted coldly, "What if I insist on having him stay?"

She wasn't sure if it was Gu Wei or not, but she couldn't let anyone who looked like her go. She would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

"If she died in the palace, perhaps even the imperial concubine and empress wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility." Mo Yan lowered his head and spoke with sonorous words, neither haughty nor humble.

Fu Jinhuang glanced at Feng Jingyi, "It seems that he is quite an amazing person."

The Queen would not go against her for no reason other than to save a small palace maid.

"This is the daughter of Shangguan Jing, Duke of An. Although the Southern Tang Dynasty has fallen, the ministers and officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty have followed Sir Shangguan's lead. His son is dead, and if his daughter were to die in the palace, he might not let the matter rest." Mo Yan stated her strong relationship word by word.

Although Shangguan Jing was a vassal, he still played an important role in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Fu Jinhuang knew the temper of the Emperor. It was only a matter of women causing trouble in the imperial harem. He would not interfere, but if it involved the imperial court, he would not stand idly by and watch.

"Since that's the case, I won't pursue this matter any further." With that, he walked closer to Feng Jing Yi and muttered with a cold smile, "You got lucky this time, we …" "There's going to be a long time in the future."
