how to say
If he hadn't always been thoughtful, just the old servant's words would have made Yun Fenghuang feel ashamed.
After all, when she was suspicious of Xie Wuzheng here, the other party was sparing no effort to deal with the aftermath.
With such a keen reaction, could he be the teammate she longed for
"But counting the days, it has been some time since the incident happened." Yun Fenghuang calmed down and sighed, "But the news didn't come until now... I thought that Brother Twenty-one was because of Brother Eighteen's incident. I blame this palace."
"Empress, how could it be?" the old servant heard this and said quickly, "The prince-in-law doesn't come to contact the emperor, but there is a reason: these days, the prince-in-law has noticed that someone has been watching him! The prince-son-in-law is worried about the real purpose of these people. , not him, but the Empress! After all, Xie’s business today is all about the Empress, not the Consort! Therefore, how can the Consort dare to contact the Concubine rashly before knowing the details of the other party? In case of frame-up and criticism, the Consort said, It doesn’t matter if something happens to him, we can’t bring the flames to the mother-in-law’s head!”
Yun Fenghuang was startled and resisted the urge to look at Chen Jing questioningly: How did this subordinate do his job? ! It has been said that no matter how languishing the Xie family is, it is still a local snake of a time-honored brand in Huizhou. If there is no problem, Xie Wuzheng can just settle it. If there is a problem, it means that this cousin is more capable than she imagined. How can he be so easy to investigate
Therefore, she asked him to be cautious. No matter how cautious he was, it really didn't work. He could just try it slowly, but she didn't push him!
The result is better now, and Xie Wuzheng noticed it.
How could he not be extra cautious!
So what is the truth, and when can it be found out
He frowned and said, "Is this happening?! But I don't know who did it?"
She secretly thought that if Xie Wuzheng suspected that she had fallen in love with her, he would immediately blame the Gu family or the emperor.
As a result, I heard the old servant say: "Returning to your Majesty's words, the Prince Consort suspects that those people are related to the Empress Dowager, the loving mother."
There have been so many things happening in the former harem recently that Yun Fenghuang has almost forgotten Empress Dowager Yuan. Hearing this, he was startled for a moment and then said: "Do you have any proof?"
"A little bit, but not to the point of solid proof." The old servant shook his head and whispered, "Actually, the death of Marquis Longping... seems to be related to the loving mother Queen Mother."
Yun Fenghuang listened, feeling slightly awe-inspiring.
Although she was behind the scenes in inciting Empress Dowager Yuan to kill Longping Marquis, Xie Wuzheng did not tell her.
Now Xie Wuzheng is aware of this, which shows that his cousin's methods are becoming increasingly unpredictable.
This made it more difficult for her to determine whether Xie Wuzheng had cheated Xie Xiaoyu.
Because if it were her, her abilities could easily suppress her cousins, so why would she need to kill him? Isn’t it good to have multiple blood relatives helpers
Of course, it is also possible that Xie Wuzheng thought that if he was so capable, why would he keep the concubine's brother as an eyesore? Without Xie Xiaoyu, he would be the concubine’s most supportive brother, wouldn’t he
"Tell me carefully."
The old servant said "Yes" and then said: "This matter was actually discovered by Vice General Qi after he recovered and recalled the details. It's just that Vice General Qi was deeply poisoned and has not yet fully recovered. Moreover, before Longping Hou died, he ordered the generals to The woman entrusted it to him... He is now entangled with many things and is unable to pursue it. Therefore, he informed the consort in private about the matter."
Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly as he listened. He didn't know whether he should be relieved that Xie Wuzheng was not as skillful as he thought, or he should feel complicated because of what happened to Qi Jiulu.
After calming down, she said: "This is a serious matter... Even if I am a minister, I cannot talk about this kind of thing casually. Let's leave it alone for now."
The old servant said: "What the Queen said is true, and the Consort also said that this matter is too big. I advise the Queen to be aware of it. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to report it to Your Majesty. Even if you must report it, it is best to find a way to reveal it to others. First of all, don’t show your face. After all, Marquis Longping has gone and the matter has been settled. Your Majesty definitely doesn’t want to be exposed again.”
Even when Gu Fangshu was alive, her weight in the eyes of the emperor might not be comparable to that of Empress Dowager Yuan.
What's more, he's already dead
After leaving the tea, the entire Gu family's status in front of the emperor has dropped greatly, and they are even less able to sit on an equal footing with the Empress Dowager Yuan.
Therefore, if Chunjia knew the truth about the death of Marquis Longping, he might be angry, he might be disappointed, he might feel that the loving mother-in-law is very strange... But what he is more likely to do is to pretend that there is no such thing, and try to destroy all the evidence. He hid it from his loving mother, the Queen Mother.
After all, if this matter spreads, Queen Mother Yuan's reputation will definitely be affected.
And how could Gu not take revenge
Even if the emperor was clearly trying to distract Empress Dowager Yuan, he still had to consider that he was not always around Empress Dowager Yuan personally.
What if
Yun Fenghuang sighed and said: "I understand... The empress dowager is staring at Brother Twenty-one. She probably has no good intentions, but she doesn't know what Brother Twenty-one plans to do now?"
"Please forgive me for speaking out." The old servant first apologized and then said, "The prince-in-law suspects that the empress dowager is still evil and wants to target the Xie family's children against the emperor! If the prince-in-law's guess is correct, Because of the 18th Young Master..."
He paused for a moment when he said this, and seeing that Yun Fenghuang had no intention of getting angry, he continued in a low voice, "Because of the Eighteenth Young Master, there must be some people who are suspicious of the Prince Consort, and feel that the Prince Consort is not considerate enough towards His Highness... But it is obvious to all how the consort treats His Highness."
"Ever since His Highness Sui'an descended, it is known to everyone that he has been in love and harmony with the Prince Consort."
"Even if the empress dowager, a loving mother, wants to spread rumors in this regard, no one will believe it."
"Even if rumors are spread, as long as His Highness stands up to deny and refute the rumors, the truth will naturally come out... The empress dowager, a loving mother, should not be so unwise."
"So the prince-in-law was thinking about it, worrying that the empress dowager, a loving mother, would be detrimental to His Highness!"
Yun Fenghuang was shocked when she heard this. After thinking about it quickly, she had to admit that Xie Wuzheng's suspicion was justified!
Of the three biological emperor daughters of Xiaozong, Minghui was the most troublesome for Chunjia to marry. However, this eldest princess had deep feelings for her biological mother and her maternal family and did not want to pay attention to Chunjia's kindness. The fight was a mess, and the friendship that had been inherited from Xiaozong was completely destroyed. Princess Yun'an and Zheng Fengfeng were actually fine, but after the collapse of the Zheng family, Zheng Fengfeng was idle for a while, and Yun An suggested that Jin Xi go and get married. In order to calm things down, Chunjia re-appointed Zheng Fengfeng. Although Zheng Fengfeng was just an idler in the eldest princess's mansion, the couple would definitely have plenty of food and clothing, but this marriage of golden branches and jade leaves has to be said. , the knot was not a happy one.
Only Princess Sui'an, in the early stage of her decline, felt that Xie Wuzheng's background was too humble.
There were even private discussions about Chunjia being harsh on the filial daughter of the clan. Just because he doted on the imperial concubine, he actually believed the slander and gave the daughter of the emperor to the son of a Jin gentry. This was simply bullying orphans and widows.
But as Sui'an became infertile and Xie Wuzheng's oath spread, it became a story about unquestionable love.
The storybooks based on them became very popular.
Xie Wuzheng directly became a model of deep love and righteousness.
Therefore, everyone in the government and the public agreed that Sui'an had no problem finding the consort.
Under such circumstances, if you want to criticize Xie Wuzheng, you should know that ordinary corruption and bribery, fish and meat farming, and committing crimes by servants... etc., let alone Xie Wuzheng, who was told by the imperial concubine to cherish feathers, would not do it at all, even if If you do it, the royal family will definitely turn a blind eye to it.
Not only because he wanted to save Sui'an's face, but also because anyone who knew the emperor a little bit knew that Chunjia was not someone who could not get rid of the dirt in his eyes.
He definitely doesn't like this kind of routine violation of the law.
But I just don’t like it very much.
Far from irritating him.
As the emperor and Sui'an's heir-brother, Chunjia's request for Xie Wuzheng is actually very simple: the most important thing is to be a good consort. Even if he pretends, he must pretend so realistically that Sui'an will believe him. A good consort and a good husband are hard to find in a lifetime.
As long as this was done, the emperor would be able to deal with other crimes leniently, unless they were too egregious, such as rebellion.
Even if I followed Xie Wuzheng's words and asked him to become an official, looking back, it was actually to beat Xie Wuzheng, to warn him not to play tricks in front of the emperor, and to set up a saintly image of love despite the pain that Sui'an could not bear.
If he dares to stand up, the emperor will dare to show his favor.
Let him understand that the royal family is definitely not comparable to ordinary noble ladies.
The loving mother Queen Mother undoubtedly knew Chunjia very well.
Therefore, if she targets Xie Wuzheng, she will never consider catching Xie Wuzheng's little tricks. It will be useless if she catches him. It will only expose her true face that she did not come back to the Imperial Capital to keep her peace.
He must be thinking of killing him with one blow just like he did against Longping Hou!
"In addition to being detrimental to His Highness, the loving Empress Dowager should also consider falsely accusing Brother Twenty-one of having an affair with a messy woman." Yun Fenghuang pondered and said, "Can you remember the unforgettable thing? I know your Majesty, Although His Majesty attaches great importance to His Highness Sui'an, he is not an unreasonable person. Over the years since Sui'an came down, he has developed a deep relationship with Brother Twenty-one. If Brother Twenty-one is confused for a moment, His Highness will surely forgive him after being sad for a while. As long as Sui'an is willing to forgive, your majesty can't force Sui'an and twenty-one brothers to reconcile with Li... But if even the heirs come out, even if His Highness Sui'an is willing to continue to endure it, I'm afraid your majesty won't be able to bear it. Such a tone!"
Even Yun Fenghuang will be implicated by that time.
After all, Xie Wuzheng was the consort whom she had strongly recommended to Chunjia.
At that time, she had promised the emperor all the good things she could say.
No matter how much Chunjia doted on her, how could he not pursue the matter
You must know that Sui'an is the only archway where Chunjia treats Xiaozong's flesh and blood well.
The imperial concubine therefore said to the old servant: "I am the direct cousin of Brother Twenty-one, so naturally I am towards Brother Twenty-one. I know that Brother Twenty-one always knows the importance, so if there is any negligence in this regard, it is still It would be good to clear up the trouble as soon as possible.”
The implication is that if Xie Wuzheng has a romantic relationship outside, or even has an illegitimate child, he will immediately deal with the consequences.
If you can silence them, silence them. This is really not the time to be merciful!
"Please don't worry, Madam!" The old servant shook his head and said decisively, "The prince-in-law has always kept in mind the advice of the former Queen Mother of the Lord, and has always behaved himself in these years. The banquet that cannot be refused is also brought with His Highness's dowry. The waiters came in and out together, and acted as palace servants to mediate."
After all, the Xie family has a shallow foundation. Even if Xie Wuzheng is a prince-in-law, he is still not afraid of some senior officials from a prominent family.
But even this kind of people still dare not make mistakes when facing waiters from the palace.
There was no need to turn around and ask someone to report him to the palace. It would leave a bad impression on his family in front of the imperial court.
Yun Fenghuang coughed dryly: "What about before the Master?"
Wasn't Xie Fu just messing around outside at the beginning, and was framed and framed, causing him to be in a very embarrassed state
"Your Majesty, the Prince Consort was still young before." The old servant was a little helpless, "When he was in the Northland, he stayed in the house and studied. You may have forgotten that the maid in front of the Prince Consort at that time, They all choose the kind of arrangement that no one wants. Our wife, Fang, has always had high hopes for the prince-in-law. How could we let the prince-in-law be distracted before he was named on the gold list? Later, when he came to the Imperial Capital, the empress had taught him that the prince-in-law’s life was different when he first arrived. I’m familiar with it, but I’m afraid of causing trouble to you, so I don’t leave the house…”
Yun Fenghuang noticed that Qingren nodded slightly. When she was at home, she and Xie Wuzheng were not familiar with each other. Because they were not siblings in the same room, and they were a little different in age, she was busy talking about the ages of her own family and outsiders. It's like the girls are too late to steal the limelight, so of course they won't pay much attention to this brother. However, as the close servants of the Jiang family, the Qing people daily helped the Jiang family consolidate their power in the backyard. They must have kept a close eye on the big house and must have known something about it.
So he stopped asking and just sighed and said, "If Brother Eighteen had half the intentions of Brother Twenty-one, why would I be so embarrassed this time?"
She no longer suspected Xie Wuzheng by making insinuations, and discussed with the old servant matter-of-factly how to deal with the conspiracy of the loving mother and empress dowager.
The old servant said that Xie Wuzheng's plan for this was that he was still observing filial piety, and the eldest princess of Sui'an did not like to go out. The eldest princess had a noble status, and she was not willing to go to many banquets and other occasions in the north. People dare to force themselves. In short, I am currently living behind closed doors, and it is not easy for my loving mother, the Queen Mother, to do anything for a while.
"The prince-in-law has secretly persuaded several in-laws to follow the manpower of the empress dowager." The old servant said, "After all, the period of filial piety for all the masters and ladies has not yet passed. What the prince-in-law means is not to disturb them for the sake of outsiders. He fulfills his filial piety to His Highness. When the period of filial piety is over, he will deliberately use a flaw to lure everyone out and give a generous gift to his loving mother, the Queen Mother!"
"... A generous gift?" Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "I want to give a generous gift to my loving mother, the Queen Mother... I'm afraid it's not that easy?"
