Princess Minghui attracted quite a lot of attention at first, but as the number of times she made troubles increased, everyone became accustomed to it.
Therefore, if something happens in the eldest princess's mansion, no one will pay much attention to it.
Perhaps for this reason, Yun Fenghuang would not have known about the news that Minghui was assassinated years ago and was running out for a long time if the emperor hadn't mentioned it.
But now that he knew it, he sent someone to investigate and quickly found out what happened: as Chunjia said, it was caused by jealousy.
Minghui was injured in the heart and lungs. Although her life was saved by the efforts of the imperial doctor, her injuries were too severe and her vitality was severely damaged, so she could not survive for a long time.
When the incident happened, the Princess's palace was so frightened. Fortunately, the waiters for Minghui's wedding were all trained by Ji Sheng, a commoner, and they were reliable at critical moments. They immediately blocked the news and sent people to the palace urgently to ask for an audience with the emperor.
When Chunjia heard the news, he immediately ordered the news to be blocked.
After all, the eldest princess Ming Hui has been embarrassed once or twice, but this, Jin Zhi Yuye was murdered by an adulterer due to jealousy, is really an unprecedented scandal.
The emperor finally managed to restore the majesty of the royal bloodline. In the past, it was the privilege of the royal family to raise the eldest princess. It seemed immoral, but in fact it proved the emperor's ability to control his ministers. He couldn't persuade Minghui to do so. Too lazy to care.
But this time it was different. The majestic emperor's face was hurt when she was called a slut, and she almost couldn't be saved.
Even during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong and those who overthrew their kingdoms, such absurd things never happened.
How could Chunjia let such an embarrassing thing spread
"Your Highness is really..." Qing Ren shook his head and said, "A good deck of cards, it turned out like this. If the common man Ji Sheng knew about it, I'm afraid he would be angry with her."
However, he turned around and changed his smile and said, "At first we wanted to ask the attendants of His Highness Minghui about something, but we couldn't find a way. Now that she is dying, those people should be more diplomatic, right?"
"Even if it's not for yourself, you still have to think about Her Majesty Minghui's children who don't know who their biological fathers are, right?"
Yun Fenghuang held the goat's milk and drank it slowly, and said slowly: "I am not in a good state of mind right now, but I am not thinking carefully... Do you think that even if Minghui is about to die, will His Majesty be soft-hearted?"
The attendants were startled, and Kiyoto subconsciously said: "Is this... supposed to happen?"
Otherwise, why would Chunjia personally come to tell the seventh prince
Not to mention that the seventh prince himself was Chunjia’s favorite prince, but just for the sake of the concubine’s face, he shouldn’t have been asked to accompany Yunqin!
It can be seen that the emperor still has affection for Minghui in his heart. No, it should be said that he is grateful to Xiaozong, which extends to Xiaozong, the only legitimate daughter.
"This is what I thought just now." Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but doubt the necessity of keeping the twins. Now that he has not grown up yet, he has some energy. Can't keep up.
In a month or two, wouldn't she be old and confused
Looking around, she saw the people who had tried their best to persuade her to keep the child. She temporarily swallowed the idea and said slowly, "But now she came to her senses. Is Your Majesty the kind of merciful master?" ?Furthermore, I have just made it clear to Your Majesty that what Ming Hui wants is simply to worry that her children will be left alone after she leaves. Your Majesty has approved her and will give her children titles and rewards to ensure that they only need If you don’t cause trouble to yourself, you will have no problem living a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.”
"What's not satisfying about this?"
"You actually need a noble prince like Xiao Qi to come forward to coax an adulterous daughter?"
"Minghui is indeed able to make such a request."
"But Your Majesty will be sure?"
Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "I entered the palace at the age of fifteen and served him wholeheartedly for thirteen years. In many things, he even fooled me and refused to let me get my wish. Even though Minghui is his sister, she has Xiaozong's love. The kindness is there, and the real harmonious relationship between the brother and sister was only eight years before His Majesty took over the throne. At that time, Concubine An and His Majesty's childhood sweethearts grew up together, so there was a loving mother and the Empress Dowager to maintain the relationship between them. However, after His Majesty took over the throne , how long did Concubine An’s unreasonable troubles last? Minghui’s troubles over the years are even worse than Concubine An!”
"Do you think His Majesty would really give Minghui such dignity just because she is dying?"
The waiters looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment
"Empress." Chie, who was the most astute in the end, stood up and said hesitantly, "Is your Majesty saying that your Majesty would agree to such a ridiculous proposal because you have some hidden agenda? But Your Majesty has always doted on your Majesty. If there were other reasons, you wouldn't do it. Why don't you explain it to your Majesty?"
Yun Fenghuang sighed: "Yes, there is no need for Your Majesty to pretend to be a wise brother to me, why are you so secretive? I have thought about it, and there is only one reason, and that is that Your Majesty did it deliberately. The purpose is to make me Gong, think about it carefully!"
The attendants were puzzled: "But what does Your Majesty want your Majesty to think?"
"The existence of Ji Qin and others was exposed due to the downfall of the Gu family." Yun Fenghuang reminded softly, "At that time, Yin Shangshu saw the confession and copied a copy for me. Do you think His Majesty didn't know this? What’s wrong, or don’t you know the confession?”
Seeing the expressions of everyone around her change, the imperial concubine herself also looked downcast, "Your Majesty must know this. It is impossible to hide this."
"The best result now is that Your Majesty, like Gu, believes that Ji Qin and others were arranged by me for Brother Twenty-One and are my people."
"The worst outcome is that His Majesty already knows the true identity of Ji Qin and others... In that case, I don't know what His Majesty will think or do."
"Empress, you are also deceived..." Qingren couldn't help but said, "His Majesty has always doted on you, you can make it clear."
"Then what?" Yun Fenghuang asked calmly, "Teach him that I am not as smart and capable as he thought. In fact, I have been deceived by the Ji family for more than ten years, and I have lost my family, brothers, and nephews. Even my own mother is still in the hands of the other party? Are you afraid that you have forgotten why Your Majesty loved me in the first place? Is it for my youth? Is it for my beauty? Is it for my talent? Maybe a little bit, but among the concubines and concubines in this palace, who was not young and beautiful as a flower when they came in? In terms of talent, Cui Lianye, the daughter of Cui Wan, is not better than me in poetry, lyrics, and songs."
"In terms of beauty, Yi Xingen is the best one in the Sixth Palace."
"The reason why Your Majesty favors me is simply because he loves talents."
"In addition to being young and beautiful, I have the means and power that are superior to others. This is what interested him and made him sincerely moved."
She said calmly, "If he finds out that I lost so miserably at the hands of the remnants of the Ji family, how can he not be disappointed?"
"There are many enemies of this palace. Because of the dispute between the two countries, there are even more people who want to add insult to injury to me."
"What will be the consequences of asking Your Majesty to develop feelings for me at this time?"
The man from the Qing Dynasty said nonchalantly: "But... but people are not saints, who can avoid making mistakes? Even His Majesty himself, even if your maidservant says a disrespectful word, Your Majesty will never make any mistakes!"
"That's true, but he is the emperor." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "He is disappointed in me, and there are many others who are trying to support him. This is a fact."
No one in the hall spoke for a while.
It took a while before someone whispered: "Your Majesty, this is just the worst case scenario. You have always been blessed, so maybe you don't need to go to that step? Maybe Your Majesty mistook Ji Qin and others for your manpower?"
"I have never pretended to be virtuous, virtuous, and as gentle as water with Your Majesty." The imperial concubine sneered, "Your Majesty is not a hot-blooded young man who doesn't want to see the people around him do anything wrong. Even I have been doing this for many years. , His Majesty pretended not to know anything about bullying others and collecting bribes... Do you think that those beasts like Ji Qin had to do something in my name to make His Majesty come to your door to ask for advice in person like this? Or even , and Xiao Qi is involved?"
Qingren's face trembled, and he said in shock: "Mother, could it be... was His Highness Minghui assassinated???"
Not only her, but many of her confidants also had solemn expressions: "Even if His Majesty still had some affection for His Highness in the early years, over the years, due to His Highness's repeated tossing, it must have been almost worn out. As the Empress said, it's normal. For the sake of His Highness Minghui, His Majesty will never let His Majesty the Empress or His Highness the Seventh Prince bear the humiliation like this... Unless... Unless... "
Unless the assassination of Minghui's face was not done in anger, but at the instigation of others.
The mastermind behind the scenes got along with Yun Fenghuang tactfully.
Minghui even got hold of all this and brought it to Chunjia...
In order to protect the imperial concubine, Chunjia negotiated terms with Minghui, thus involving the seventh prince.
Minghui always follows her own nature and never looks at the situation.
But after she became a mother, it was rumored that she still loved her children.
If she could live for a long time, she would probably be unwilling to compromise and even get into trouble with the emperor beyond control.
The problem is that she doesn't have long to live, but her children are still young.
At this time, a loving mother's heart breaks out, and it is reasonable to endure her hatred and find a future for her child.
It was the imperial concubine who was the mastermind behind her assassination, but the imperial concubine was very capable and deep-seated. With Gu Zhen deposed, she would most likely be in charge of Qingci Palace.
Of course, seizing the heir apparent is also possible, so the seventh prince is a good choice.
The imperial concubine and the Yin family were his backers, but they also wanted to exclude him from the country's conflicts and give him as much wealth and stability as possible.
As long as the seventh princess doesn't act like a monster and follows this husband, she will live a good life.
"But Madam, since Ji Qin is a remnant of the Ji family, why did he murder His Highness Minghui?" Honge raised doubts, "As the direct niece of the Ji family, Her Highness Minghui has always been close to the Ji family. At that time, Ji Sheng, a common man, died. , and the demise of the Ji family, His Highness has always been engraved in his heart and grudged against it, so much so that His Majesty's repeated courtesy has made His Highness still angry! Have the remnants of the Ji family lost their minds and gone crazy? Or are they desperate to frame the empress? At this point???”
Yun Fenghuang frowned, she couldn't figure it out either.
There was no way, she entered the palace too late, her family background was too low, many things were unheard of, and naturally it was impossible to speculate on them.
Just like ordinary people at this moment, regarding the series of battles in the palace seven years after Chunjia, they can only come to one conclusion: Concubine Min is kind-hearted and makes people jealous. There are always people who want to be jealous if they cannot get the emperor's favor. Targeting Concubine Min!
The truth can only be understood by a few people.
"Ignore this for now." The imperial concubine calmed down and said, "Even if Ji Qin plots against me, it is impossible to force me to death at this time. The plan for now is to find out His Majesty's thoughts and purpose."
She felt a little annoyed. In the past, the emperor always asked questions directly, but after being made trouble by her guilty conscience and confusing right and wrong a few times, he no longer dared to do so.
Although this roundabout way of euphemism gave her a chance to buffer, it still left a gap...
I really don’t know if it’s good or bad
