What Mrs. Gu said was very clear. In addition, after all the Gu family were imprisoned, although the Longping Mansion had been sealed off, no one was left to guard it because the utensils had been evacuated.
Therefore, Chen Jing ordered to go down and quickly took the box and brought it to Yun Fenghuang.
Since someone had checked that there were no protective measures such as poison, she opened it directly after receiving it.
As expected, there was a thick stack of records inside, all of which were related to Yun Fenghuang, Xie Wuzheng and other Xie family descendants.
It is divided into categories by name and is extremely detailed.
Yun Fenghuang naturally looked at Xie Wuzheng first. She saw that this cousin who always knew when to say something in front of her and treated others appropriately made her always feel that this was the hope for the rise of the Xie family. In the palace The appearance was actually not as outstanding as she imagined.
He's had his share of failures and losses, and he's even been embarrassed by many of his coping problems.
Especially when he was in Yanzhou, when Xie Wuzheng first arrived there, he was eager to show off his talents without putting his luggage back. Who would have thought that the first time he took action, he would be ganged up by local big players, and they would be thrown into such a mess that he was about to abandon his position and run back to the Imperial Capital.
And what he did and said at that time was genuine, not at all like what he usually does.
Showing clumsiness and shortsightedness.
However, Xie Wuzheng corrected himself quickly.
So even if someone knows that he seems to be confused occasionally, they don't dare to underestimate him.
Before reading about his experience in Yanzhou, Yun Fenghuang frowned: "Is this really an occasional mistake???"
Although no one is perfect, she doesn't think Xie Wuzheng can't make mistakes. The problem is...
Ever since Xie Wuzheng came to the Imperial Capital, this kind of stupidity and shrewdness have been intertwined.
If you observe carefully, you will find that Xie Wuzheng has not made much progress in more than ten years.
Even judging from his actions in Yanzhou, he was even more impatient.
this…
She skipped the following records of Xie Wuzheng's time in Yanzhou and turned to the back.
At this time, you can see the skills of a time-honored family like the Gu family. Every once in a while, they will analyze and summarize Xie Wuzheng's records.
Apparently Gu also noticed the violation.
The summary of this paragraph is that they suspected that Xie Wuzheng was not talented enough to have his current reputation and ability, and it was the imperial concubine who sent someone to assist him secretly.
As long as this helper is killed and the imperial concubine has no time to replace Xie Wuzheng, Gu thinks Xie Wuzheng will be easy to deal with.
"..." Yun Fenghuang's face turned pale as he held the record in his hands and was speechless for a long time!
Of course she didn't send any so-called secret helpers to Xie Wuzheng!
If she really has such a person under her command, will it be her turn to thank Wu Zheng? Xie Xiaoyu is her biological brother who has a very good relationship with her mother!
So the question is, who is this helper that Gu thinks was her work
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Gu is Qiu Yu after all, please calm down." Seeing that she looked wrong, the Qing people were surprised to find out about the situation, and then advised, "These records were specially prepared for you by Mrs. Gu. Yes, I can’t tell, there’s some kind of trap in there, deliberately instigating the flesh and blood?”
Yun Fenghuang composed himself and said in a deep voice: "I understand!"
However, thinking of Gu's suspicion, she always felt that something was wrong. She frowned for a moment and suddenly asked, "Can you still recall the character of Brother Twenty-One when we were at home?"
"I know, I know, but at that time, my wife overtook the eldest house to take charge of the house, which made the eldest lady very angry." Qingren thought for a while and said, "So I didn't dare to inquire openly about what happened in the eldest house. I only observed it through servants. Because the twenty-first son was the youngest son of the eldest family, he actually didn't get much attention. After all, there were several brothers above him at that time, all of whom were already married, and his wife was not a fuel-saving lamp. The lady was worried about her eldest grandson-in-law. He will find excuses to help the eldest lady regain the stewardship, so the experience is all with the eldest son and the second son of the eldest son. There is not much attention given to the twenty-one young master."
"I know that Mr. Twenty-one is well born and has good academic performance. He is always very diligent, but..."
"At that time, due to his young age, he didn't have many opportunities to compete for the family business."
"If you can't make a mark on your own, life will probably not be easy after the family separation."
"Perhaps for this reason, the eldest lady still loves him very much, and even receives private housing subsidies in private."
"But because of this, the 21st Young Master was ridiculed twice by his elder sister-in-law..."
"It's true that I didn't hear that he had any extraordinary talents or abilities at that time, otherwise Madam would have paid more attention to him."
Yun Fenghuang sighed: "That's right. If mother felt that this person was unreliable, could she not have warned me when she came to the Imperial Capital to see me?"
Not only did Jiang not say anything at the time, he also taught her to win over Dafang for his own use. This shows that in Jiang's eyes, her mother and daughter had no grievances with Dafang, and it was worth turning their hostility into friendship.
This cannot be blamed on Jiang's lack of intelligence and agility, it can only be said that this is the limitation of Menmei.
Jiang never thought that her daughter would enter the palace, let alone become a queen. When she was in charge of the Xie family's back house, her focus was of course on how to keep her status and power, and how to prevent her eldest brother from taking away this status and power. above.
Xie Wuzheng was young and had not even talked about getting married at that time. He couldn't go to the back house to fight with his aunt in person. How could the Jiang family investigate him thoroughly
I can have a general impression that Jiang's work is meticulous.
"Do you still suspect that there is someone behind the twenty-one young master?" Qingren thought hard for a while, feeling quite confused, "But who is this person? Ordinarily, if he is really talented, who would be willing to be second to the twenty-first young master? Under the circumstances? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the empress? Furthermore, the twenty-one young master has not made any progress in these many years, and he is not tired of the people who advise him? "
Yun Fenghuang didn't pay attention to her words at first, but he also pondered.
After hearing this, his expression suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"
The Qing Dynasty man didn't understand what he meant and said subconsciously: "I think it would be a bit strange if there really is such a person..."
"The last sentence just now." Yun Fenghuang interrupted her and said in a deep voice, "Say it again!"
"Young Master Twenty-one has not made any progress in these many years, but he doesn't get tired of the people who give him guidance?" the Qing man said calmly, "Even with such a close relationship between biological father and son, there has been no progress for more than ten years, so he should be angry, right?" ? Let alone continue to hide and give guidance to the twenty-first master without anyone knowing?!"
Yun Fenghuang's face instantly became clouded, his eyes were murderous, his bright red lips moved slightly, and he uttered two words solemnly: "Ji! Shi!"
"...?!" Qingren was shocked, "My dear, aren't they already?!"
"If the family has hidden it well, what's the problem if the ghost lingers for more than ten or twenty years?!" Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Besides, as you said, who else but the Ji family would do it?" Teaching a fool to hide his merit and fame like this?! Who would choose Xuanqing Palace and fall in my eyes, but instead fall in love with Xie Wuzheng and remain loyal to him?!"
The Qing man said in a trembling voice: "How dare the Twenty-one Young Master... How dare he?! Back then... Back then... Even though the Gu family was the most suspicious, the Ji family... The remains of the eldest master, eldest lady, old lady, old lady, were buried in full view of the public. Yes! There are also many young masters and young ladies in the big house, and young ladies who are the descendants of the grand master. Even though the twenty-one master doesn’t care about our fourth house, can he also forget the big house where he came from?!"
There was a fishy sweetness in Yun Fenghuang's throat. She closed her eyes, forced herself to suppress the boiling of blood at this moment, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you just say that even if your biological father and son have made no progress after more than ten years of guidance? Will you be intolerable? Do you know that only under what circumstances will the person who gives this advice not be angry? "
Before Kiyo could speak, she had already said to herself, "Puppet."
"Just like His Majesty, who was pushed to the stage as a puppet and has not made any progress for more than ten years, the mastermind behind the scenes is not only not angry, but is happy to see the results!"
"It's just that His Majesty kept a low profile and succeeded in seizing power in one fell swoop, turning his back on the guests!"
"And Xie Wuzheng..."
She sneered, "This idiot has been working as Ji's puppet for many years, and he has also relied on family ties to deceive me for many years!"
This is not the point. The point is that Xie Wuzheng is stupid, but the Ji family behind him is not stupid.
You know, after controlling Xie Wuzheng for many years, Yun Fenghuang has only now become suspicious of his cousin, even after all the painstaking planning. How could they not be prepared for the imperial concubine to fall out and settle the matter after seeing through it
Thirteen years... a full thirteen years!
Ms. Ji is not stupid, so how many tricks do she need to keep to restrain her
Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang was almost dizzy. She didn't even have time to curse Xie Wuzheng a few more times. She grabbed Qing Ren's hand and asked in a deep voice: "What have we done in the past two years... Xie Wuzheng?" How much do you know?"
"...Except for the two narrow escapes, I never deliberately concealed anything else." Qingren thought about it for a while, and his face was spinning and his face turned pale.
This really can't be blamed for their carelessness.
After all, as far as Xie Wuzheng and Yun Fenghuang are related by blood, as far as the brother and sister depended on each other after the Xie family was destroyed, and they vowed to avenge the family together, who could believe that Xie Wuzheng would have problems
Besides, normally, what reason would he have to betray Yun Fenghuang
The grievances between Xie's first house and the fourth house did not rise to the level of life and death.
Even if Xie Wuzheng is narrow-minded, but...but...if she doesn't talk about feelings, but only talks about interests, how could the much-loved Concubine Min, who is still standing, give him less than a bunch of bereaved dogs? ?
Under this situation, Xie Wuzheng expressed the need to know some secret arrangements of Xuanqing Palace to prevent conflicts between the brother and sister's plans. Naturally, Yun Fenghuang would not hide it.
After all, the imperial concubine has suffered from a weak family background and low status of her father and brother since she entered the palace. She hopes that her blood brothers will grow up as soon as possible and become her right-hand man.
Therefore, not only did he not hide many things from Xie Wuzheng, Yun Fenghuang even analyzed them carefully for his cousin when he was free, breaking them into pieces and telling him why he said and did so.
Even with the two bitter tricks, the reason why I didn't tell my cousin was not because I didn't trust him at all, but because the matter was serious and I was worried that the news would be leaked and it would cause disaster.
But Yun Fenghuang has done too many things from his origin to today.
Even if Xie Wuzheng doesn't know about these two things, once the remaining ones are exposed, it will cause a huge disturbance!
Not to mention anything else, let's talk about Yun Fenghuang's attitude towards his son-in-law, which he had never hidden from Xie Wuzheng.
Now that King Qin is a few years older, he is not as easy to coax as he was when he was a child.
Even if the children have a lot of trust in Yun Fenghuang, Chunjia is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
If the emperor knew that she was not a real loving mother, who knows if he would suspect that the mother and son were wrongly accused
The consequences will be unimaginable!
"..." Yun Fenghuang and Qing Ren supported each other and almost staggered to the side and sat down. They felt out of breath for a while.
"Your Majesty, this servant is incompetent and failed to distinguish between loyalty and adultery for your Majesty..." Qingren's legs went weak, he knelt in front of her and cried loudly, "Now... now... what can I do?!"
Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips tightly, thinking quickly, and suddenly said: "Xie Wuzheng has no such value. Their real target is me, or in other words, His Majesty!"
The Qing people were still immersed in the fear of impending disaster. After hearing this, they just looked at their master blankly.
The imperial concubine said in a deep voice, "If there is really someone behind Xie Wuzheng who is guiding all his words and deeds, it must be Ji. No one else has such ability or motivation... But Xie Wuzheng is not worth Ji's trouble. They This is nothing more than relying on my imperial favor and Xie Wuzheng’s relationship with me to avoid being hunted by the Imperial City Department. And, just like His Majesty did back then, he kept a low profile and planned to take revenge on His Majesty!"
"But now, even Xie Wuzheng is not able to come to His Majesty. What good will those people do if they destroy this palace now?"
"No matter how much leverage they have on me, they are determined not to leak a single word at this moment..."
"At least not until it's confirmed that I can't be used by them."
Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and thought, "In this case, I still have a chance... I still have a chance..."
