After listening to Yun Fenghuang's words, Chunjia became a little concerned: "Why is the queen sick again? What did the imperial doctor say?"
"The imperial doctor keeps saying the same clichés." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "It's nothing more than a rush to attack the heart... This is what I did yesterday despite the Queen's resistance, coaxing and persuading for a long time. As a result, if the concubine couldn’t get through yesterday, the others wouldn’t dare to break in and enlighten the Queen after the Queen ordered not to disturb her. I wonder how depressed the Queen is right now.”
Chunjia was not interested in the queen, and as Yun Fenghuang said before, Gu Zhen fell ill because of Uncle Zhaowu and the family.
The emperor was not suspicious at all at this moment, and really thought that Yun Fenghuang had good intentions. Thinking of Yun Fenghuang's suspicion of Uncle Zhaowu, he felt that the imperial concubine was still willing to coax the queen, and was truly kind-hearted. He couldn't help but sigh: "Ahuang You are always so mean-spirited, but if you are willing to pretend to be so, many people will not misunderstand you."
"I have such a temperament, so don't pretend." Yun Fenghuang sneered in his heart, and curled his lips and said, "What? Your Majesty likes that look? Then your Majesty, go and look for it in the palace. If you can't find it, , would you like me to report back to the Queen or the Queen Mother, and make the final decision, and select a few for His Majesty that look like what you said?"
Chunjia smiled and sighed: "I just thought you were nice, and I became jealous."
After all, I had something on my mind, so I didn't flirt much with the imperial concubine, but after a few words, it got involved with the emperor's heirs... After chatting for a while, it turned out that it was getting late, and Yun Fenghuang was hinted to resign.
He had to summon a few ministers to continue the discussion. Once Uncle Zhaowu couldn't hold on, and he didn't establish a legitimate prince in the future, how to shirk the blame at that time, so as not to be suspected of crossing the river and burning the bridge
The conscience of heaven and earth, the emperor really felt wronged at this moment.
He didn't deliberately burn bridges this time, but he just felt that the children in front of Zhonggong might not be able to challenge him.
If there really was someone who could stand alone and suppress the other brothers, even though he had communicated with the imperial concubine in private and asked the imperial concubine to discipline his children, he did not say that he would definitely choose the heir apparent from the Xuanqing Palace.
So how can you get such a reputation
Yun Fenghuang didn't know what he was thinking. Shi Shiran left the imperial chariot and returned to his car. Just as he was about to summon Chen Jing to ask about the Queen's situation, he saw King Jin being held on a horse by the guards. He couldn't help but have a headache and said: "He did something strange again?"
"Replying to your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jin felt that it was stuffy in the carriage, so he asked the guards to take him riding for a while." Seeing this, the attendants quickly explained to Prince Jin, "His riding skills are very exquisite with his guards. Everyone is watching, the road is smooth now, please rest assured, Madam, nothing will happen."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Yun Fenghuang said tiredly, "I made an agreement with him yesterday not to make any random requests on the road. He agreed quickly on the spot. Only a few hours later, he was ruined. Promise? If you are just perfunctory with me now, when you grow up, won’t everything I say will fall on deaf ears?”
Qingren said with a smile, "Don't say that, your Majesty. Your Highness is young and is a prince, so you can't help but sit still... Your Highness agrees to you, doesn't he just hope to get your love? Boys are like this. The older they grow up, the more they know how to care for their relatives. Mother, how can you not take your words seriously?"
Yun Fenghuang sneered: "Don't help this little brat fool me!"
He asked someone to bring King Jin here.
After a while, the red-faced King Jin got into the car reluctantly.
Yun Fenghuang saw from the window lattice of the car that he was still pouting with displeasure when he was put on the shaft of the car. After entering the door, he immediately smiled and rushed towards him with a warm and sweet kiss. She shouted softly: "Mother, my concubine! I miss you so much! What did you do just now? I've been looking for you for a long time but I still can't find you!"
Very good, this shameless look is definitely his own son!
The imperial concubine laughed angrily, stretched out her hand to grab the back of his clothes, and slid his clothes away a little, so that he would not take the opportunity to wipe the sweat on her skirt quietly, and said in a cold voice: "What were you doing just now?"
"... I am looking for you!" King Jin blinked his long eyelashes, paused briefly, and then said confidently, "I miss my mother and concubine so much! After I left last night, I spent several hours I haven’t even seen my mother and concubine... I miss you so much!"
"Really?" Yun Fenghuang said with a cold face, "You miss me so much, why can't you remember the words you promised to my concubine? Didn't you agree that you will sit in the carriage honestly until you arrive at the palace? ?!”
King Jin sweetly said: "This is because I miss my mother and concubine too much. As long as I can see my mother and concubine as soon as possible, I will be willing to punish my concubine even if my mother and concubine punishes me!"
At this moment, Yun Fenghuang wanted to call his three nieces and Zhao Qing over to learn from this brat's sophistry.
He obviously didn't mean what he said, but when he said this, it seemed like it was wrong to punish him!
Yun Fenghuang didn't know if Chunjia could handle this kind of coquettishness, but she could anyway!
She didn't talk nonsense to him at the moment, and directly asked Hong'e to lead the people out: "He has no pastries for three days. The meals will be reduced to the same as yours!"
Hearing this, King Jin's face fell. Qingren and other attendants hurriedly helped to intercede: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is still young..."
"Why is it so small?" Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "You can say so, but you are still young? Who can plead again, please change three days to seven days!"
Seeing this, King Jin quickly winked at the people around him and begged them to stop talking!
He knows his mother and concubine well, she can tell and do it!
"This kid is quite smart, but he's just a little too out-of-the-box." After King Jin was taken out, Yun Fenghuang sighed, pinched his forehead and said to his left and right, "So I must suppress him in every way from now on, otherwise , who knows what trouble it will cause!"
This is someone who will compete for the position of crown prince in the future, how can he not be prudent
With such a personality, if she can be a well-loved son or grandson, she will be considered frivolous by the officials if she enters the East Palace... So no matter what Prince Jin wears, he must pretend to be the future crown prince!
The attendants knew that the imperial concubine had made up her mind, so they were not allowed to say anything, and they did not dare to say more about what was in their hearts. They only reminded her indirectly that the child was still young, so she should not be too strict.
Yun Fenghuang shook her head and ignored it. She felt that she didn't need to listen to anyone's opinion. She was the real expert.
Interrupted by the King of Jin, it was already dusk when Chen Jing came over: "The Empress said she was sick in the morning, she was probably just pretending. Although she also told the imperial doctor, she just said the same thing. The key is the medicine. In fact, It is the most common soothing soup. But now, I have changed to a medicine that soothes the mind. I think the Queen is really a little annoyed."
"Is there any new news coming from the north?" Yun Fenghuang nodded and asked.
Chen Jing whispered: "Yes, but... still not very optimistic."
After a pause, he added, "Both Uncle Zhaowu and Lieutenant General Qi."
Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, unable to explain what it felt like.
If Qi Jiulu had not pursued him to the Imperial Capital, and if she had not refused to go with him, he would not have had a relationship with the Regent's Palace, let alone join the Dingbei Army and gain the appreciation of Uncle Zhaowu...
Without Uncle Zhaowu's appreciation, the assassination would have nothing to do with Qi Jiulu.
From this point of view, Qi Jiulu's current situation was caused by her.
This made it difficult for Yun Fenghuang not to think about his near-death encounter a few years ago. Wasn't it inextricably related to her
After entering the palace for nearly ten years, she was no longer the little girl with clear likes and dislikes and extreme temperament, but... Qi Jiulu... she was sorry for him after all.
It's just that I'm sorry, but I can't do anything except secretly worry about it.
It seems cheap and hypocritical.
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but laugh to himself, and suddenly felt that he was a bit disgusting.
She calmed down for a moment and then said: "Uncle Zhaowu's life and death are closely related, so keep an eye on him."
Chen Jing solemnly said: "I obey my orders."
After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "I heard some gossip, but I'm not sure... I wonder if I should tell it or not?"
Yun Fenghuang said quietly: "I've said it all, what hook is left?"
"Yes." Chen Jing took a few steps forward and whispered, "I heard that before Uncle Zhaowu was assassinated, he had intended to marry Vice General Qi, his beloved concubine, so Vice General Qi followed Uncle Zhaowu."
After all, there are not just one or two deputy generals in the army. In terms of seniority, age, and achievements, Qi Jiulu is not actually the most outstanding.
He was able to use his body as Uncle Zhaowu to block him. One was because he reacted quickly, and the other was because he was standing close to Uncle Zhaowu. There is a reason for this distance. Gu's prospective son-in-law, of course, has special preferential treatment.
Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment and said, "Where is Chao Jingyou?"
Ever since she burned the firefly sac with her own hands, she let go of Qi Jiulu and naturally stopped thinking about Chao Jingyou.
At this moment, when I mentioned this name in person again, I felt a little confused.
"... Madam, the city of Huizhou was destroyed earlier, and each family suffered some losses." Chen Jing said cautiously, "This Chao family, I heard that something went wrong at that time. It seems that the Qi family wanted to renew Vice-General Qi's string after the incident. It's just that the head of the Qi family felt that even though Chao had given birth to a young lady after entering the family, it was not a big deal, and he had to let Vice General Qi abide by the rules for a year. Therefore, Vice General Qi has been alone for the rest of the year, and he doesn't want to But it caught Uncle Zhaowu’s eyes.”
The implication is that maybe Qi Jiulu didn't want to do it himself, but it was Uncle Zhaowu who spoke. As a subordinate, how could he have any room to say no
"So it turns out that the Chao family is no longer in there?" Yun Fenghuang sighed melancholy and murmured, "I and she have disliked each other since childhood, and there was a lot of intrigue back then... Now I heard that she has gone, now In my heart, I feel a little unhappy... maybe it's because I am really old?"
Chen Jing smiled apologetically and said, "What did your Majesty say? You are now in the prime of your youth, why are you so old? From my perspective, your Majesty's horizons have become broader, so you don't take the feuds of your youth seriously. "
Yun Fenghuang smiled to himself and did not answer the words. He only said: "I have heard about Uncle Zhaowu's concubine once or twice... It seems that she has reached the age of leaving the cabinet two years ago? How can she stay here until now, so cheap? If you don't tell Qi Jiulu, are you still willing to continue the relationship? Go and check, when did there be any news about this marriage? Was it when Chao Jingyou was alive, or after Chao Jingyou passed away? If it was after Chao Jingyou passed away, this Miss Gu, have you been betrothed or planned to anyone before? After all, with a status like Uncle Zhaowu's daughter, there is no way she can be procrastinating. She is already out of the government, and her husband's family has not yet been decided?"
If she guessed correctly, Chao Jingyou's life was probably to make way for Gu's daughter.
Although he had mixed feelings about the death of his old enemy, Yun Fenghuang did not change his temper to the point where he was willing to avenge Chao Jingyou.
But because of this news, she had other ideas.
