Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 261 You want to frame me!

Feng Ziying lowered his head and tugged at the guard's collar.

The guards understood, and several of them moved to the side, actually making way for someone else.

Feng Tang had already discovered the trick on their side, and he and Dai Quan had already asked Tai Shang to move aside.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Feng Ziying, lowered her head and asked Tanchun in boredom, "What is he doing?"

Tanchun suppressed her laughter and whispered in his ear, "Catching a turtle in a jar."

Liao Changshi saw that there were people of all ages, both men and women in this group, so he didn't care. He just wanted to quickly get through the crowd and board the ship to see how things were developing.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him and blocked his way!

Liao Changshi was stunned!

The three-story ship of King Beijing was moored at the shore. The shadows of the people were cast on the boat by the lights of the restaurants and stalls nearby, stretching out long shadows.

Among them, Liao Changshi's shadow suddenly became shorter!

On the ground, Liao Changshi was sweating profusely, his face was pale, his clothes were shaking, and he fell to his knees!

The Supreme put his hands behind his back, looked at him coldly, and whispered: "I handed Rong'er to you, and this is how you take care of him for me?!"

With a wave of his hand: "Take it!"

Two guards came up immediately and quickly dragged away Liao Changshi, whose legs were so weak that he could not stand!

The guards who followed him were looking at him blankly. However, when they heard what Rong said, they all shuddered and their knees softened involuntarily, and they all knelt down.

The Supreme Lord raised his chin, and the guards immediately came up, tied up and gagged them, and threw them aside.

The Grand Master then frowned, lifted his robe, and strode towards the ship. The Queen Mother hurriedly followed and grabbed the Grand Master's hand.

The Queen's expression relaxed slightly, her steps slowed down, she took the Queen's arm, and the two of them walked forward together.

Dai Quan and Feng Tang followed closely behind.

Seeing this, Tanchun took the opportunity to stay two steps, quietly pulled Feng Ziying aside, and asked in a low voice: "Are you familiar with the Beifu?"

"Well. What's wrong?" Feng Ziying looked at her warily.

Tanchun glanced at the first floor of the ship and said softly, "The Northern King brought quite a few people with him this time.

“I believe he doesn’t dare to think about what to do to His Majesty and the Queen Mother.

"But we still have to be on guard against someone using his name to instigate his guards and commit crimes!"

Feng Ziying was horrified: "Who would be so courageous?!"

"There may be remnants of the previous dynasty, and there may be factional struggles. Over the past few decades, how many people in the previous dynasty's abandoned princeling party and the current dynasty's abandoned princeling party wanted to take advantage of this to cause chaos..."

Tanchun sighed softly, "The Majesty is very strong, but he is old after all. Besides, there is the Queen Mother and me as a burden."

Feng Ziying blurted out: "Nonsense! You are so smart and quick-witted, how can you be a burden? You are simply a counselor!"

As soon as he said this, he felt uneasy again. He scratched behind his ear, looked left and right, and asked hurriedly, "Are you asking me to appease the guards of the Northern Palace?"

Tanchun blushed a little, but still looked at him worriedly and asked, "You really need to know them well!

"Otherwise, we'd be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth!"

Feng Ziying nodded solemnly: "Don't worry! I know half of the guards in the palace, and Baoyu knows the other half!"

Tanchun frowned, and she retracted her steps, which were almost reaching Feng Ziying's feet, and even took half a step back.

Feng Ziying was stunned.

Tanchun resumed her usual polite demeanor, bent her knees slightly, nodded and said, "Then Mr. Feng, please be careful, thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, she lifted her skirt and hurried after the Queen Mother.

Feng Ziying hurriedly patted the guards around him and quickly pointed to four of them, signaling them to follow up and provide protection.

He then grabbed two more guards, staggered onto the boat, and walked toward the bottom cabin with his hands behind his back.

In the lower cabin, a dozen guards were gathered together, talking in low voices with nervous expressions.

"It seems that the one who just went up is Tai Shang?!"

"The Supreme Lord is on a secret visit? How come there is no news of this? I haven't seen any additional soldiers from Suzhou Prefecture, nor any movement of the garrison troops in Jiangnan."

"Yeah! Don't tell me it's fake, right?"

"Are you kidding? The prince grew up beside the Supreme since he was young. If it was a fake, how could he not recognize it? Would the fake dare to face the prince directly?"

Everyone became timid and began to worry.

"This is troublesome! The prince just abducted Princess Zhaoqing and was caught by the Supreme Lord!"

"It's fine if the prince is beaten up at most. But we..."

As everyone was worried, a voice suddenly emerged:

"But...if we insist that he is fake..."

Everyone's eyes suddenly began to flicker around.

"Oh my! Let me see, who did the prince bring to Suzhou this time? Lao Zhang, Xiao Zhao, haha, and Wang Daming!"

Feng Ziying smiled in a gangster way and called out the names of everyone one by one. He even grabbed a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and while eating them, he walked into the cabin shaking all over.

The two guards behind him simply hugged their elbows, stood side by side, tall and strong, and blocked the door tightly!

"I say, Xiao Qin, don't hide back. I heard everything you said just now!

"To be honest, my father and I are the escort troops for the Supreme Lord's secret tour to the south.

"The Grand Master is just taking the Queen out to enjoy the scenery.

“As for the Northern King, he was just caught being naughty by the Supreme.

"You are a bunch of guards who obey orders, what does this have to do with you?

"Even if the Concubine Dowager gets angry and beats you with a stick after you return to the capital, just be patient and it will pass. At most, you will be kicked out of the palace.

"Right?" Feng Ziying said as he lifted his butt and sat on the table next to him, eating melon seeds and continuing to chatter.

"But you all have abilities. If you can't be the palace guards, you can always join the Imperial Guards!"

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up!

Two people immediately ran over and stood beside Feng Ziying with a smile: "Mr. Feng, are you serious about what you said?"

"We've known each other for a year or two, you should know. When we men talk, we're as tough as nails!"

Feng Ziying threw the melon seeds in his hand to the ground, patted the crumbs with both hands, put one hand on his waist, patted his chest with the other, and said loudly:

"As long as you obey the law and rules today, be loyal to the emperor and love the country!

"Then I, Feng Ziying, will make sure you're all right!"

So, just follow the rules today and that's all! ! !

The guards of the palace were surprised and delighted, and most of them ran to Feng Ziying and started chatting and laughing affectionately.

Feng Ziying laughed and greeted them, but his eyes were cold as he looked at the two people standing alone opposite him.

One was Xiao Qin, who was the first to test "Tai Shang is fake", and the other was a middle-aged man with a sinister expression.

Feng Ziying looked at the middle-aged man, raised his eyebrows slightly, and laughed: "So it's the second steward of the palace."

"Mr. Feng is here to instigate rebellion and hold down my guards. Is it for the safety of the Supreme, or is he trying to frame us for treason?!"

The second steward's simple words were a heart-breaking blow, and put Feng Ziying on the opposite side of everyone again!
