When Monk Fengxi said this, Emperor Longteng immediately burst into a smile.
"This method is very good, then send Shi Fei to the Taichang Temple."
Upon hearing this, both Empress Feng and Long Qingxuan, especially Long Qingxuan, quickly stepped forward to speak.
"Father, the Taichang Temple has no women, sending Shi Fei there seems inappropriate. Moreover, Shi Fei is still guilty, if she escapes..."
Originally, Long Qingxuan planned to deal with Shi Fei immediately after capturing Xin Lin, but the interference of Consort Zhao disrupted his plan.
In the end, it was all blamed on Monk Fengxi.
A mere Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship, when did the palace matters become his concern?
"Your Majesty, what the prince says is reasonable, please reconsider."
Empress Feng also quickly stepped forward to lend her voice.
What a joke, sending Shi Fei to the Taichang Temple, where she was beyond reach, how could she clean her up?
As long as this woman was not eliminated for a day, she would feel uncomfortable for a day.
"Is the Empress and Crown Prince worried about the Taichang Temple or about Fengxi? The Taichang Temple is heavily guarded, no less than the palace. As for women, the Taichang Temple rarely accommodates them. However, a few days ago, the Empress Dowager brought a few nannies to the Taichang Temple to eat vegetarian meals and pray, setting up a small chapel. Why not let Shi Fei serve the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager has also agreed to this matter."
With just a few words, Monk Fengxi dispelled all the concerns of Empress Feng and Long Qingxuan.
This monk was truly remarkable.
Long Qingxuan’s eyes flashed sharply.
"The guilty woman is willing to go to the Taichang Temple, fasting and praying for Longteng and Your Majesty day and night, I beg Your Majesty to consent."
Shi Fei hurriedly kowtowed to give thanks.
"I beg Your Majesty to consent."
On the side, even Long Xinzhuo couldn’t help but feel delighted.
With Monk Fengxi present, he was not worried about his mother being bullied.
Yet... Long Xinzhuo couldn’t help but look up at Fengxi.
People at the Taichang Temple usually do not involve themselves in worldly affairs, why are they proactively inviting his mother to go this time?
This matter, Long Xinzhuo felt a bit strange.
"Let’s proceed as Fengxi suggested. I have other matters to discuss with Fengxi, you may all withdraw."
Emperor Longteng having settled Shi Fei’s matter felt a weight off his heart and gestured for everyone to leave.
Though Empress Feng and Long Qingxuan begrudged the decision, they could only withdraw.
Xin Zhuo supported Shi Fei and also withdrew.
At first light, Shi Fei would have to pack her things and head to the Taichang Temple.
"Mother, these days, you have suffered. Rest assured, I will cultivate my spirit well, and someday I will take you far away from this filthy place. That damned Consort Zhao dared to poison you, but she got what she deserved. Long Jin testified against her himself, this time she will not escape justice."
Little Xinzhuo, supporting Shi Fei, expressed angrily.
"My son, Consort Zhao is just a scapegoat. The one who truly wanted to poison me is the Empress, Consort Zhao was merely her pawn. These past few days, the Empress has been having people poison me repeatedly. Tonight, the reason I was poisoned was because Captain Zhao gave me a poisoned bun to eat, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to take down Consort Zhao."
Shi Fei, having survived a great ordeal, spoke with a different demeanor and manner than before.
Little Xinzhuo was taken aback.
Captain Zhao, poisoned bun?
"My son, you are still too naive. Even Master Fengxi’s sudden visit was arranged by your sister in advance. In the future, you should learn from Xin Lin, even mastering just a tenth of her wisdom would make you fearless of Empress Feng and Long Qingxuan’s group."
Shi Fei said with a smile.
