Yun Fenghuang asked, "What did she say to Bidong? Did Bidong say anything to you?"
Chen Zhu smiled apologetically: "Bidong ordered everyone to disperse after he entered, leaving Eunuch Yanyin and the others to stay outside. The people we arranged there didn't dare to get too close, so they could go around to the back and Zhu Qi was doing things. After listening to a few words, it seemed that there was nothing pressing. Perhaps Bidong was asking Yicai Nu about the confinement period she spent before entering the palace, whether she missed home, and who was there in the family... Yicai Nu was quite nervous at first, but then It feels more natural when you talk."
The implication may be that Emperor Chunjia was considerate. Yun Fenghuang was sleeping with him for the first time. Wasn't the emperor the same
First, find a topic that the concubines can talk about. After chatting for a little half a month, you can see that you are no longer nervous, scared or embarrassed. Then you undress and get down to business... Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "In that case, there is no need. No more staring, let’s put it down.”
Seeing that she didn't express any dissatisfaction, Chen Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed before retreating.
After he left, Xijing Xile came to serve him, and Xijing said, "Why does the empress have to stay so late in person? The maids will definitely report it tomorrow morning."
Before she finished speaking, Xile touched Dong's arm calmly. She was stunned, and then she remembered that she had had dinner just now. According to Yun Fenghuang's usual habit, whenever the emperor didn't come, he would return immediately. The outer room is set up. At most, I can light a lamp by the bed and read for a while.
However, Mingyue asked everyone to retreat to Yuanji first, and stayed alone for a while before calling them back. Seeing that they were all neatly dressed, she said that she would report it immediately when the news from Yi Cai'er came back - it turns out that Chen Zhubo did not allow anyone to leave. The people over there were going to report Yicainu tomorrow morning before she came over to greet her. After that, he could immediately send someone to quietly go over and ask.
Could it be that his master had the Emperor in his heart? Was he jealous at that time
I went to bed so late.
Xijing thought about it and secretly thought that if that thing was true, then he would have to tell the queen when he could.
Although she couldn't tell whether Yun Fenghuang was the kind of master who would sacrifice his life and blood for the sake of others, Queen Ruming valued the new Jieyu very much, and she needed to pay attention to any rebellion in Keke.
Xijing's family is in the queen's lap and they don't dare to slack off at all.
"Xile will keep vigil tomorrow night." At that time, Yun Fenghuang said, "Xijing, please go and rest."
Xijing was struggling with Qiudong's consciousness when he heard her say, "Xijing Liuhong will go with me to pay my respects tomorrow."
That instruction was exactly what Xijing wanted, and she immediately agreed to come to the east.
"Did I hear what the imperial concubine just said from behind the screen?" After Xijing went out, Xile put down the tent, but did not leave. Instead, she slowly knelt down while holding on to the edge of the couch.
Yun Fenghuang was leaning on the couch, with one leg propped up on his cheek. The spacious sleeves of his obscene clothes slipped down, revealing a section of snow-colored lotus-root arms, which looked gleaming in the dim candlelight. Her eyebrows became more and more delicate, with an almost eerie beauty. She looked at Xile calmly, and then she chuckled for a long time, "If you have any ideas, please come to the palace to listen to me?"
"...My maid is willing to die for Jie Yu!" He raised his head and said in a low voice and quickly, "Please forgive me and give me a chance!"
Yun Fenghuang chuckled: "Why are you panicking? I hid behind the screen against my orders. Could it be that I blame me?"
You won't blame, but you may not avoid poisoning your legs. Xile knew this truth very well, so she didn't dare to answer, so she desperately begged Yun Fenghuang to give her a chance.
"How can I give me a chance?" Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "I am the prince's person. I have helped the prince do so many things, but how can I be so scared? Isn't that really too embarrassing for me? There was an accident in the palace... No, I thought, why should I pass the news to the crown prince?"
"Your Majesty, it's not like that." Xile stopped kowtowing and said with difficulty, "When I first entered the palace, I followed the rules and asked to be a master before I could learn how to serve noble people. Is that master my servant? He is an old man in the Imperial City Department, so from the beginning, he was looking at cultivating his servant into a person who can serve the prince."
And whether she got the attention of her master at that time, or whether she would not be stepped on by other palace people with background, she has always been clinging to the thigh of the Imperial City Secretary.
It turned out to be natural that the whole family fell into the hands of the Imperial City Secretary as a hostage, and then began to participate in the secret.
Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly as she listened, and she said, "How can someone like Xile, who was directly involved in arranging a date for the Prince Regent and his concubines in the harem, just do the usual service?"
"But my family members are all in the imperial city's lap. How can I die for me?" Yun Fenghuang looked at Xile in a funny way, "Everyone in the palace said that I am restless and dishonest. It seems that I am worse than me." The palace is very unsettled and the fat protruding beggars are not sincere!"
Xile grasped the edge of the bed tightly, using so much force that the veins on the back of her legs bulged out. She was very nervous at the moment, so there was a slight gasp in her voice: "Empress, there are five maids and sisters, The maidservant was in the middle. Her father had not cared about her mother since she was young, and because she would not shut up, she would not please her brothers and sisters. Later, she sent her younger brother to school, so her father and mother sold the nine-year-old maidservant into the palace to serve others. I really want my maid to send back the monthly report every month... Do you think your maid should consider their life and death?"
"But it was because of their life and death that I obeyed the prince." Yun Fenghuang said quietly, "The blood relatives are the most difficult thing to let go of. In that world, wives and husbands can be changed again, friends can be made again, and children can continue to live. ...Only for parents, I will support whoever gives birth to them, or they are the wrong parents. But I can do it by just saying that I should not consider their life and death... "
"My maid can do it!" Xile was silent for a while, then raised his head, looked firmly into Yun Fenghuang's eyes, and said decisively, "My maid didn't want to care about them a long time ago! Is there anything my maid can do!!!"
She took a deep breath and said, "I was nine years old when I entered the palace. If I hadn't been taken care of by my master, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive now, let alone being arranged to serve in Yanfu Palace. Rumor has come to see the empress again!" The master led his maid into the Imperial City. In addition to repeatedly reminding him to be loyal to the crown prince, he always treated his maid well... Did the master know about the affairs of the maid's family during his lifetime? If your wife is not good, you can't be completely useless. My Majesty, tell me, can your servant be wrong? If so, how can the master not doubt your servant's character?"
"Later, the master passed away for some reason, and the maidservant didn't have time to show her filial piety. Thinking about what she said during her lifetime, she continued to support the family..."
"Then what should I tell you now? Are you afraid that I will also doubt my character?" Yun Fenghuang asked, "Besides, if I follow the Imperial City Secretary, I will be in danger. If I follow you, I will be afraid of something bad. The East Field is even more miserable.”
"... Your Majesty, you are not a common person like that." Xile pursed her lips and whispered, "Others may blame the family because of the servant and are unwilling to give them any more benefits. They think that the servant is not a good person, but the servant I don’t think the empress would be like that.”
She raised her head slightly and said, "My maid could not help but follow the Imperial City Secretary, and there is nothing I can do to support my family all the time... In that kind of situation, if you are in danger, you will die like that. I am not willing to accept it! My maid's family is raising a child." I have been a maid for eight years, why should I ask my maid to support them for so many years, and beg for my life to get in?! My maid has long since owed nothing to the family, and has no obligation to pay for them anymore!"
"But if Ru Ming follows the empress..."
Xile took a deep breath, "No matter what you encounter in the future, it will always be your own choice. No matter what the consequences are, it will be dangerous. I will be happy with it!"
She raised her leg and said, "My maid knows that your Majesty doesn't care about swearing, but do you believe it? I dare to swear that if my maid's confession to your Majesty's confession is even half a lie, I will teach you how to die!" There is no burial place! After death, the soul will work for the empress in all life to pay for his sins!"
Yun Fenghuang squinted at her, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "My master... why is he missing?"
"My master was actually serving the Queen." Xile smiled bitterly, "Didn't Concubine Shu have a miscarriage that year? After checking, I found out that Zhaoyuan's concubine Ji was there, but whether she had a miscarriage that year? From the Empress Dowager to the Empress Dowager and then to the Queen Empress, how could concubine Ji be held responsible for such a crime? Therefore, the people of Didong should be blamed. Concubine Shu is a very important person. How can ordinary palace people bear it? One of the servants who was killed by the stick was But my maid's fellow senior sister...then will she be loyal to Concubine Ji?"
"No wonder I told you about Concubine Shu's miscarriage before, and I seemed to understand it very well." Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly, "I know that the Imperial City Department is well-informed, but it turns out that I have a very deep connection... What happened later? ?”
Xile said: "Later... the maid is not very clear about it. Anyway, after the senior sister disappeared, the master fell ill not long after. Because he was afraid that the illness would spread to the queen, he was quickly moved out. The maid is thinking about it very much. When Xiu Mu Yuezi asked someone to intercede for a visit, it turned out that before Xiu Mu arrived, some of the master's relics were sent over, saying that he was gone."
Well, it’s no wonder that the palace maid said before that Ji Concubine might have been unjustly accused, and whether she had taken the blame for them...
Just listening to it, it does sound like what Empress Fu did, asking her cousin to block the knife, and then killing the palace maid.
Xile was probably very young at the time and was not qualified to participate. Not only was he lucky enough to survive, but he also made the queen think that he was not a confidant.
Yun Fenghuang shook his head and did not continue to ask Dongguan. He said: "I don't need to be so panicked. Since I asked me to hide behind the screen and listen, I had no intention of hiding it from me."
She had said that once before, and Xile didn't believe it. Now, of course, Xile didn't believe it. Her face, which had been a little calmer, turned red. When she was about to speak, she was stopped by Yun Fenghuang's leg. , said, "After all, the imperial concubine and the empress can hold me hostage, only my family and myself. But I heard just now that although the imperial concubine has a higher status than me, if she has any request from me, But I don’t care what I do for me... So, with the power of the Hussar General, the Imperial City Secretary and the Empress can kill my whole family, but the Zheng family can’t? The Imperial City Secretary and the Empress can kill me, and I I’m sure I won’t miss the legs that will be there to reunite me with my family!”
"Is it necessary to eliminate the heavy seeking..."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said in an amiable manner, "I think my family and I have the weight to ask the Imperial City Secretary and the Empress Dong Ling to protect us for the rest of our lives?"
Ignoring Xi Le's trembling look, she said calmly, "So, why do I need to silence me?"
As long as the palace maid protects her and her family's lives a little bit, she should know what to say and what not to say, right
"...Empress." Xile opened her mouth, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
As soon as Xiangshuang Saixue's catkin stretched out and gently pinched her chin, Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes cast a thick shadow in the candlelight filtered by the tent, making it difficult to see clearly. The emotion in her eyes made her feel that the light in the depth was particularly frightening, and Xile shivered even more because of this.
After a moment, Yun Fenghuang smiled, let go of her chin, turned his leg and pinched her cheek, and said softly: "What are you afraid of? I am attentive in serving and quick in doing things, much better than Xijing." The look in my eyes... I like someone like me very much, so why would you be willing to touch me unless you absolutely have to?"
Xile froze for a moment, holding his breath and concentrating in one position, not daring to make the slightest move. He couldn't believe that he... had passed the test
When she was in a trance and didn't know if it was really a dream, Yun Fenghuang had already retracted her legs, covered her mouth and yawned, and immediately ordered: "Go to bed. I am also tired. I hope to get up early tomorrow." !”
As he spoke, Fangdong turned over with his legs and arms, pulled the quilt, and carried the palace maid who had not recovered yet, and lazily ordered with a sleepy voice, "Please tidy up the tent for me, don't let mosquitoes leak in. .”
"…No!" Xi Ledong consciously walked out of Yingdong, and Dongsheng consciously walked out with light legs and feet. Dong consciously lay down on the bed where he stayed with him for the night. He stared blankly for a moment, and then the huge surprise of surviving a desperate situation came to him. Well in my heart!
Immediately, out of Yun Fenghuang's understanding, a horrifying thought suddenly came to mind: Was it really out of safety concerns and because there was no one else more trustworthy that Jieyu was asked to hide behind the screen alone and listen to the two voices? Confidential conversation between the boss and the boss
Not to mention…
Yun Fenghuang deliberately used that incident to force her to choose between Gong Xiangxiao and himself...? !
Xile thought about it, her pupils gradually widened, and her forehead was dripping with cold sweat. After a moment, she sighed helplessly, looked at the ceiling of the tent, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: When things are clear, then it is no longer necessary to ask again, isn't it
At least she came alive.
