Although Yun Fenghuang is generous with his own people, he is also very demanding.
As her biological niece, Xie Kuo's treatment was always slightly worse than that of Bi Zaoqing and other princesses.
And because none of the princesses deny that Yun Fenghuang is her biological child, the secret is actually taken more seriously than the second and ninth princesses.
Will Xie Kuo get the letter to become a princess, and marry her brother Wei He to become the Dalan clan? Her status will be even more different from that of Xie Meng and Xie Ni.
Of course the legs she was serving were carefully selected.
At this moment, everyone's face turned red. Hearing the words of the imperial concubine, they came to salute tremblingly: "If you go back to the empress, the relevant people will be interrogating you next door."
"Tell Chen Jing to go and take a look." Yun Fenghuang did not go there by himself, but took Xie Kuo to the front and left. He waved away the busy people, stared at the niece for a moment, and asked slowly: " Are you afraid?"
"... I'm also scared." Xie Kuo pursed his lips and said softly, "This is the first time my niece has encountered such a thing, so I don't feel panic at all... but I don't have the determination. But because of this, It can be seen that the path chosen by the niece has great potential. Otherwise, what status will the niece have? It is all thanks to her aunt that she is favored by others. In the palace for many years, no one has ever been in trouble with the niece. Then Now I mistakenly thought that my niece was Dong Po-leg... After thinking about it, my niece must choose the position of the Wei He Dalan clan!"
"The reason why I waited until Ruming moved her legs was because I was 80% afraid of harming my niece in advance. With my aunt's legs, how could we allow the person behind the scenes to get away with it? Let alone allow the person behind the scenes to marry the person he likes to Wei He! "
"But Ru Ming, there are not many months left before the wedding. If my niece has a misfortune, even if my aunt is not happy, the court will always look for decent people. In a hurry, I can't say who is the best, so I will send out the niece's replacement. ”
"And when the time comes, for the sake of Wei He's future Dalan clan, maybe my aunt will find out the truth and she will be able to breathe a sigh of relief..."
"Who outside the world doesn't know about my aunt's legs?"
"Who dares to show off the risk of offending you? Doesn't it just prove that my niece's choice is not correct?"
Yun Fenghuang sighed, touched her temples, and said, "I thought of that, so those two years of schooling were not in vain."
She was really worried that Xie Kuo would give up after this incident.
After all, Xie Kuo said, as the legitimate daughter of a squire, even though she was raised in the palace since childhood, she had never faced the cruelty of the world due to Yun Fenghuang's fighting prowess.
On the contrary, he is used to seeing the royal family suffer.
I'm used to seeing my aunt's willfulness and power as a beloved concubine, and her way up through the ranks.
If Ru Ming was poisoned personally, even if it was an attempted poisoning, he could still feel the crisis coming from the east.
And those threats begged her to give up being a princess and give up her position as the Dalan clan of Weihe. As she said herself, who would target her niece as a concubine
Ru Ming looked at it and saw that the niece had some courage of her own.
"Auntie, please don't worry." Xie Kuo said softly, "When my niece begged her earlier, she said that she knew what she had chosen and was happy to work hard for it. Even if she encounters any misfortune along the way... then It’s not what my niece has always wished for.”
Seeing that her mentality was relatively stable, Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly, stopped comforting her, and asked what happened: "How did the doctor discover that there was something wrong with the diet?"
"We were going to have dinner tomorrow, but my niece suddenly wanted to eat the lotus cake. When the Didong people heard about it, they went to the small kitchen to give instructions." Xie Kuo said, "After a while, a plate was sent over there. According to the rules, the niece first handed the meal to the doctor for inspection, and then tried it with the palace attendants. Only after she was fine did she eat it... It turned out that the doctor just looked at it for a while and said it was a bit good. Did she ask someone to lead a dog? , it will be gone after eating.”
This is not because Yun Fenghuang has thought it through.
As early as when Xie Kuo was named Princess Xincheng, she had set rules for her niece's food and clothing, but she was more strict than herself. Regardless of what is imported or personal, there will be dedicated personnel to taste and test it before Xie Kuo can get his hands on it and enjoy the treatment of the mother of the wild rice plant in advance. And only the people in front of Xie Kuo knew about that. Anyone who leaked a few words to the outside world would be killed with a cane, and he knew how to hold the whole family accountable.
The imperial concubine has always had great prestige, and the number of people allocated to serve Xie Kuo is more generous than others, and her family members are also supported and cared for. With such kindness and power, this matter has never been spread to the public.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that even if Xie Kuo didn't die suddenly on the spot, he would only have one breath left.
Regardless of whether he is dead or difficult to recover in a short time, it is not suitable for him to marry Wei He far away.
If you say this, it will be an advantage to the people on the East Leg.
Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Is that dog here?"
"Yes." Xie Kuo said after two years of teaching and acting very thoughtfully, "My niece asked people to put the dog behind and store it on ice for the imperial doctor's examination."
Yun Fenghuang nodded and said: "In that case, let the imperial physician of this palace take a look at the dog, and then burn it immediately, crushing the bones and scattering ashes, leaving no trace of the dog. Then call the servants, all who know this If it’s all business, go and stay in the next room.”
As he said that, he turned around and said, "Tell them that when Princess Xincheng was murdered, it was not about poison, but about the antidote."
The Qing man was startled, but after saluting, he immediately turned around and went to do it.
The imperial concubine turned her head, looked at Xie Kuo, and said, "Can I be confused?"
Seeing Xie Kuo nodding, she explained, "Although I am not my niece, but I have to be granted the title of princess and marry Wei He, so I am not my niece. In this case, I have been wronged. Why bother to investigate the real culprit alone? Naturally, I ask Bidong and the court to help."
"But if I know that I am not in danger of my life, then anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance whether I want to drag me east to choose another one with my relatives."
"If you are wrong to your Majesty and the imperial court, to be honest, it is not a big loss. But to me, his aunt and nephew, it is just a heavy loss."
"After all, in the eyes of the imperial court, just asking for a Chinese girl to marry him is not enough; as far as the emperor is concerned, canonizing a princess is nothing more than an imperial decree."
"They may be quite angry because the officially crowned princess was murdered, but they are not angry at all."
"The wedding is approaching, and some people even think that if they can find the real culprit, they can find it. If they can't find it, they can postpone it until later, so as not to disturb the celebration."
"But now, the people I meet are not poisoned to death, but have no heirs."
"That's another mistake for Bidong and the imperial court."
"The reason why the dynasty in the east agreed to Wei He's peace proposal and granted a marriage was because he hoped that after marrying the Dalan family, he would have an heir with his Chinese blood in the east, and he would become the new khan in a month."
"Let me put it more clearly: In China, women who marry outside the house throw water away from the house."
"After I marry far away, who can guarantee that my heart will always be in China?"
Seeing that Xie Kuo wanted to argue, the imperial concubine raised her leg to stop him and said in a deep voice, "Shut up and listen to what I have to say!"
"Even though I grew up in the Middle-earth, I have always been interested in the Middle-earth, but my future descendants have been born and raised in Weihe since they were born. Even the princes of Weihe, why should I want to go to the Middle-earth and have never seen them? Middle-earth?"
"Don't talk about affection, and don't talk about my mother's teachings... Are there very few unfilial sons in that day?"
"What's more, for Prince Wei He, if he leans towards the Middle Kingdom, he will inevitably be ostracized by his tribe, and even endanger his future and life. Just ask me, what does he do to lean towards the Middle Kingdom because of my mother's request?"
"Because he bleeds the blood of Middle-earth!"
"So even if you are a prince, some people among Wei He will be hostile to him, exclude him, and turn against him, and his half-brothers will also use that excuse to criticize him."
"When the time comes, if he wants to make a difference, if he wants to advance, the only way is to get closer to China and rely on China's support to fight against his brothers."
"Even seeking the throne!"
"So, Your Majesty and the imperial court may not care about the marriage princess being replaced, but they absolutely care about whether the marriage princess can have a baby."
To put it simply, killing Xie Kuo by poison means that the wrong needle was made for Fei Yunfenghuang's aunt and nephew, and it does not involve the interests of other people; but giving Xie Kuodong the medicine to kill his son means harming the interests of the entire court, and even treason, aiding Wei He suspicion.
The real culprit behind the scenes needs to face the anger of others, which is not the same level.
Xie Kuo took a deep breath. She was no longer an ignorant girl in those two years. She really learned a lot from following the Empress Dowager, Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang and the people sent by the Yin family.
However, at this moment, facing his direct cousin, he couldn't help but feel awe and admiration from the bottom of his heart.
How long has it been since you found out you were poisoned
That aunt thought of so much, no, it can't be said that she thought of that much, but it was an almost instinctive reaction.
She thought quickly and raised her doubts in a low voice: "But my aunt and niece also have many dowries, and they are all Chinese maids. According to the tacit understanding, they... they... "
After all, Xie Kuo felt a little embarrassed after saying a few words.
But Yun Fenghuang didn't understand: "If they can be looked after by Wei He Khan in the future, I will arrange for them to stay in bed, and they can also have children. They will be recorded in my name and become my heirs." This will not only give me a solid favor, but also prevent me from being unable to give birth to children. But if I think that with those hind legs, it will not be a big problem whether I can have children, then wrong."
"Although Wei He is not educated in ethics and does not pay attention to the order of elders and young children like we in China, but unless the Khan has few heirs, there is a big difference between a concubine born from a large tribe and a concubine born from a female slave. There’s still a huge disparity.”
After all, the status of children has always been closely related to their parents.
Even if the imperial court is concerned about whether the concubines are of different ages and orderly, if the imperial concubine of Ming Dynasty is favored, when will the princes to the east of the middle palace be in the lap of King Zhaoqing of Qin and others
In Weihe, if the biological mother was from a large tribe, had a large dowry, and her natal family was able to discuss matters in the king's tent, and had an heir to his son, how about a helpless female slave who was lucky enough to be favored by the khan to give birth to his son's heir? His concubines are comparable
If the latter falls out of favor, his descendants may even become slaves.
Unlike in Middle-earth, no matter how unhappy the heir is, if he dies in infancy, he just wants to live and grow up. The prince will be crowned king, and the princess will be crowned princess. It is impossible to find someone who is at least a Jinshi or a high-ranking son.
"Is there a feud between Wei He and his country? The previous time Wei He was in trouble, he sent troops from his country to help, so he had to settle a lot of grudges." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "So in the Ming Dynasty, Wei He's country, on the one hand, hindered the prosperity of the country. , one's own side is in decline, and one does not dare to make mistakes; on the other hand, those who have wronged other Central-European countries, as well as the Dalan clan in the past of Central-Earth, are inevitably full of hatred and defensiveness."
"In that case, as a descendant of the Dalan family from the east, I can rely on my reputation to suppress the descendants of other concubines."
"If my maidservant hadn't come from the east, how would she be able to convince the public by her birthplace?"
"Que Pinghong has made it more difficult for Middle-earth to support a prince with Middle-earth blood to ascend the throne."
"and… "
The imperial concubine smiled coldly, "As his direct niece, I can become a princess, and my treatment is better than that of the princesses. Isn't that such a noble identity and status? Isn't it in the palace of another country? Seeing Tianhui coming here almost got poisoned in the leg! So if someone is really bribed by Wei He, they don’t want the Dalan family, who was born in China, to have a son, and continue to make decisions about Wei He’s affairs in the future... again How could Keke let go of my dowry?"
"The medicine is already in my meal. Is it difficult to beg the wrong slaves?"
"Taking a step back, even if I have many slaves, I won't be able to support Chinese women temporarily when I get there, but... no matter what, I know that the place where I am is already heavily protected, and I almost get hurt. Dark legs.”
"When I am in Weihe, even if I marry and give birth to children... who can guarantee that those children will be able to live peacefully in the East?!"
"Good boy, do I understand? There are people who want to beg me to die, and they want to ask my aunt and his red-haired people to give away the black-haired people. Are there people who have deliberately ruined the layout that Wei He worked so hard for and begged for by the emperor and many important ministers? It ruined the great situation that Longping Hou Ning Guogong and other soldiers fought eastward after many life-and-death battles!"
Yun Fenghuang slowly let out a breath, "He is simply insane and his heart is to be punished! I don't have to be afraid. Go talk to the people who are serving me and tell them what exactly happened in Hong. Auntie, then go and report it to the emperor. I will definitely ask for help." Seek justice for me!"
"Auntie!" Xie Kuolian went to hold her, his eyes flashing with a bit of suppressed excitement, "Then, is there any possibility that the Queen did it?!"
