"Even His Majesty believes that it was the work of the concubine?"
In the Kunning Palace, Empress Chen was wearing a bright yellow Yanju uniform and a crown of six dragons and three phoenixes on her head. She looked dignified and dignified. It's a pity that the years are not forgiving. She was well maintained in her early years, but in the past two years she has aged very badly. It may be because of two illnesses, a few touches of silver have been added to the temples, and many fine wrinkles have appeared at the corners of the eyes. Normally, Empress Chen would always hide them, but today she has no intention of hiding them.
She thought that Emperor Jianping would be able to see that the two of them were young couples. He always had more respect and affection for himself than others. Will give her too much ugly.
Empress Chen thought a lot, but she forgot that this man, the emperor, had changed before she knew it, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Kunning Palace today because of such an innocuous matter.
"The queen thinks who did it, is it you, or the eldest prince?"
Emperor Jianping's magnetic but cold voice successfully woke up Empress Chen.
"Not the eldest prince!" she said hastily.
"That's the queen?"
"How could the concubine do such nonsense!"
The answer to this question was too fast, Empress Chen just answered subconsciously, and didn't have time to think about it. After calming down, I realized that it was neither the prince nor her, so who could it be? Could it be the Chen family? But the Chen family can also be her or the prince.
To be precise, she and the prince must always recognize one another, and today's matter will be over.
Just because Emperor Jianping would never go to war for such an innocuous matter, it shows that he is not innocuous in his heart. The corners of Empress Chen's eyes couldn't help twitching, but she had to hold back the pain in her heart.
"Your Majesty believes that my mother and son did it? Just because Fang Fengsheng is actually Fang Fengfu?"
Empress Chen finally asked. In fact, Emperor Jianping didn't intend to hide it from her at all. It only takes a little research to find out about this matter. However, since Emperor Jianping allowed her to marry the King of Wei, it meant that the past was never to be blamed, and no one could intervene. This was the majesty of the emperor. If Empress Chen or the crown prince attacked Fang Fengsheng, it would be a challenge to the majesty of the emperor.
But in Empress Chen's heart at this time, she didn't think so, she only thought that Emperor Jianping was dazzled by women's sex, and that's why he favored his concubine and killed his wife to save her face.
For some reason, she recalled the situation when Concubine Li first came to her.
The delicate flower-like girl can't even be called a woman. She is completely different from the noble and graceful lady. She is petty and trembling, like the dewdrops left on the flower buds in the morning. She is beautiful, but too fragile , can't see the sun.
She thought that her husband liked this girl who could not be called a woman, otherwise why would he, who has always restrained himself in womanizing, lose his composure like that. Although the man was given by her, and she also acquiesced in it, given his behavior and habits, he would never have sex with a woman in her palace, but he made an exception for her.
It's just that he is too good at covering up. For more than 20 years, she has always thought that he only has a little liking for that woman, which is not enough to shake his temperament, habits, and even the inherent restraint of his identity. It wasn't until he made her an imperial concubine and broke the rules that he usually thought was as big as the sky, that she knew that he was worthy of being an emperor, and that he could restrain himself for so long, so long that she forgot about the past.
"After all, Fang Fengsheng is fake, but the imperial concubine is the real one. If the imperial concubine hadn't cried in front of His Majesty, His Majesty probably wouldn't have come to Kunning Palace today."
Empress Chen heard an unfamiliar voice, and after thinking for a while, she realized that it was her voice. At the same time, she also found that the hall was very quiet, so quiet that it was suffocating. When she saw Fu Chun's wide-eyed eyes, she realized that she had lost her composure again.
again
"Queen, you lost your composure."
"Then what does your majesty think is a concubine's gaffe? Your majesty has come to question me, why don't I allow my concubine to lose my composure?"
In Emperor Jianping's cold and slightly angry pupils, Empress Chen saw her distorted and ugly face, full of jealousy.
Yes, she was jealous of that woman.
"Believe it or not, the imperial concubine didn't cry to me, and the queen doesn't have to gossip about him. I have been married to you for many years, and I understand you as much as you know me. Every time I meet the eldest prince and do something wrong, You are always like this, preempting people and making strong words, I think the queen is sick, so I should take care of her."
After speaking, Emperor Jianping stood up and strode away without giving Empress Chen a chance to explain.
In fact, she didn't know how to explain it. Was what Emperor Jianping said wrong? Only Empress Chen herself understood that it was right.
It is because it is right that it makes people suffocate.
"...I have been married to you for many years, as much as you understand me, I understand you as well..."
He finally said it, and she pondered the holy meaning.
Trying to figure out the holy will is not a big taboo, but helping the prince figure out the holy will, coupled with her identity, is a big taboo.
"Ma'am, someone is here."
Fu Chun lowered his head and held his chest, as if he also knew that saying this now would make the queen unhappy.
Empress Chen pressed her chest, then rubbed between her eyebrows, and said, "Let her in."
The person who came to pass the message was Mrs. Cheng Engong, who was also the sister-in-law of Empress Chen.
After she left, the hall was silent.
Fu Chun carefully looked at Empress Chen's face, seeing her cheeks twitching unconsciously, he hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and gave her comfort.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, don't be angry, the imperial physician has told you not to be angry." Fu Chun, with a cry in his voice, took out a small bottle from his bosom, poured out a few small black pills, and took it again. Drink the water and serve Empress Chen.
After taking the medicine, Empress Chen finally felt much more comfortable, and her heartbeat did not feel so uncomfortable.
But why not angry
Just as Emperor Jianping said he was sick on the front foot, the Chen family came to give him another blow on the back foot. As long as she thought of what Mrs. Cheng Engong said just now, her heart would jump suddenly.
Let her give in to that bitch, and join hands with her, dreaming!
"Your Majesty, don't blame the servant girl for talking too much. In fact, what Madam said is correct. There is such a relationship. If she made it clear, she might be able to bring in a lot of help. You think, the imperial concubine has been favored recently. If she Speak for His Highness, maybe His Highness can restore the crown prince, and if you show your favor to the imperial concubine, His Majesty will not be angry with you..."
"Stop talking, let me say that you are crazy!"
Empress Chen shouted loudly and waved her hands fiercely. Fu Chunben was beside her, but she pushed him out and fell to the ground. Fu Chun had served Empress Chen for decades and was always loyal. When something like this happened suddenly, not to mention she was shocked, Empress Chen was also shocked.
She wanted to say something, but closed her mouth angrily.
Fu Chun stood up by himself, and said: "Your Majesty, this servant has no other intentions, this servant just loves you. It's nothing, it's really nothing, Your Majesty treats her as a stranger, in fact, it's nothing."
That's right, it's not that Empress Chen has never teamed up with others before, no matter whether it's false or false, the bottom line of a woman living in this palace is always much lower than others.
But only 'she' can't.
"Do you think she will believe you if you tell me at this time?" This she naturally refers to Concubine Lihuang.
"The family didn't say there was a way to make her believe it."
"Even if she believes it, I don't want to believe it. I don't have such a younger sister! She is a lowly thing. Why is she the daughter of my Chen family?"
But she is!
This is probably the biggest secret of the Chen family. Even Li Huangguifei doesn't know about it. Fuchun doesn't know whether the empress knows. If she could see something, the empress must have known it a long time ago, that's why she stepped on Concubine Li like that back then.
At the beginning, the Chen family was looking for someone to be a favorite of Empress Chen, who was only a princess at that time. They found Concubine Li somehow. At that time, Concubine Li was still a little girl. She was taken to the Chen family, only to be discovered that she was actually a concubine who was lost in the Chen family in the early years, and was born to a concubine of the old man.
The man was recognized by the old man, and the man was sent in by the old man. Why did the old man refuse to recognize him, but chose to send him in to help the crown prince and concubine? Fuchun didn't know. mother's sister.
This matter has been hidden for decades, if the crown prince had not been deposed and Concubine Li had been favored again, no one would have mentioned this matter.
"The servants are afraid. If the empress doesn't mention it, the master will be mentioned by the imperial concubine. You know the master's character." Fu Chun said. This master refers to the current head of the Chen family, who is also the elder brother of Empress Chen, Cheng Engong. The Chen family is an old-fashioned family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years. The Chen family can have such a heritage through the accumulation of several generations.
As the patriarch of an aristocratic family, he would not care about personal honor or disgrace, especially since the situation of the Chen family is not good recently, Cheng Engong will probably disregard Queen Chen's wishes and show his favor to Concubine Lihuang.
Let's take a step back and say that Li Huang and the noble concubine are in full swing, and she gave birth to the third prince and sixteen princes. If the crown prince really dies, the king of Wei will be ranked third, and with the full support of the Chen family, it is possible that he will not be able to get a big position. No matter what the situation is, the Chen family will never give up showing favor to Concubine Lihuang.
Fu Chun was able to stay by Empress Chen's side for many years because of her careful thinking. In fact, she was taught by Empress Chen. It is not without reason that Empress Chen has been able to stand for many years. It's a pity that because the crown prince failed to live up to expectations, Empress Chen got old and fell ill, causing her to be irritable and impatient. Otherwise, she wouldn't be unable to understand this truth, and she needed Fu Chun to remind her.
Maybe she understands, but she just doesn't want to face it.
"Stop talking! I have a terrible headache, help me to rest for a while."
After returning, they exchanged information with King Wei and verified Feng Sheng's guess.
It really was the crown prince who set up this game, and the methods were still so rough, if he hadn't found the right person and found Sun Wencheng, and Zhichun had that kind of thoughts on Sun Wencheng, maybe this thing would never have happened.
Feng Sheng guessed that there might be the shadow of the Chen family behind him, but Wei Wang shook his head.
She wondered why King Wei was so determined. King Wei looked a little strange. At that time, he didn't continue talking about this matter. When he was sleeping on the bed at night, King Wei told her the reason.
Feng Sheng didn't speak for a long time, which was enough to show how surprised she was.
"How did you know about this?"
"My concubine told me."
Feng Sheng didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he sighed: "Mother and concubine can really bear it."
King Wei rubbed her back with his hand, Feng Sheng was still too thin, and the joints on her spine were very obvious, he felt uncomfortable touching his hand, but he still liked to touch it.
"My concubine knew about it a long time ago, but she didn't want to have anything to do with this family. I'm afraid the Chen family can't bear it for a long time. A while ago, they had sent someone to contact me, but that person was separated by a few floors, and he was obviously not from the Chen family. .”
"But you know it again."
Feng Sheng's tone was a little teasing, King Wei glanced at her, and she immediately understood, "If you still want to hear the story, just shut up honestly", and fell silent immediately.
King Wei seems to like her "counseling" very much, whether it is real or fake, since he captured her that time, he is willing to play the majesty of the great prince in front of others, and let her, the little princess, coward her twice , and enjoy it. She would usually satisfy him a little bit because he was actually more cowardly than she was.
"Places like restaurants, inns, teahouses and Goulanyuan are convenient for collecting all kinds of information."
"Wait, wait," Feng Sheng got up, and said, "You mean you opened many restaurants and inns secretly, so you know a lot of unknown news?"
King Wei nodded, appreciating her inference.
"Then the inn where I took Uncle Yu and the others to stay, what does it have to do with you?"
Feng Sheng's ability to draw inferences from one instance to another is really outstanding, King Wei can only honestly confess that the inn is also one of his properties, so he chased it so timely that day.
She lay back again.
"Then according to what you said, because the Chen family wanted to win you over, so they didn't do this, it was the eldest prince's own initiative. Then, have you ever thought that the eldest prince is being watched by everyone now, and he might not think about it like you With such great powers, there must be helpers."
This helper can only be the Chen family.
"Don't forget, this method seems dirty, but it can actually have a lot of benefits. If I, Princess Wei, don't get along with you and lose the protection of Princess Wei, the queen and prince can easily kill me for revenge. And no I, Princess Wei, who is in the way, the Chen family can definitely pick a daughter from the clan to marry you, and completely tie you to death on the boat of the Chen family."
King Wei was taken aback for a moment and narrowed his eyes.
It seems that he is blind! Because I know the First Prince too well, I know that he is influenced by Empress Chen, his methods are not generous enough, and he likes to use women's secret methods, so I think this matter must have come from the hands of the Prince, but I forgot that the Chen family can completely pick up on the basics Fill in the vacancy and achieve your own goals by the way.
"Suddenly, I couldn't wait. I wanted to see what the Chen family would do to appease the empress and tell the concubine the 'truth'. It must be a big show."
Seeing her talking with her eyes raised, King Wei couldn't help kissing her like a cunning fox.
