In the evening of that day, Yun Fenghuang went to find the emperor in person and told the matter.
Chunjia was not surprised when he heard this. After all, he had always believed that the imperial concubine was kind-hearted, but he still encouraged her and rewarded her with many artifacts.
It seemed that he wanted to say something at first, but Yun Fenghuang soon showed signs of fatigue. Seeing this, he carefully explained on his behalf, saying that the imperial concubine was quite damaged due to what happened not long ago, and besides, she was pregnant with a baby. Twins are more tiring than ordinary pregnant women... Chunjia sounded very worried and could not speak anymore. He personally sent her back to Huanhua Palace to rest, and then summoned the Qing people alone to ask the imperial concubine what she was worrying about recently.
The Qing Dynasty's heart was filled with apprehension, but he said respectfully: "To answer your Majesty's question, your Majesty, I haven't been worried about anything lately. It's just some greetings for the New Year, and the weddings of several of your Highnesses."
"The reason why I thought of interceding with His Highness Minghui's children today is because His Highness Yun'an brought two young ladies, Qin Gao and Qin Xin, to greet me. The empress looked at them and said that they are all excellent children, and they are still like this at their age. My dear, what will happen if my mother-in-law is gone to take care of me in two years? Therefore, despite the advice of the maids, it is still in the first month and there is no hurry at this moment. The mother-in-law still insists on going to you immediately to report. . If we decide it one day earlier, it will be better to inform His Highness Minghui, mother and son, so that they will be less frightened."
Chunjia couldn't help but sigh: "Ahuang is smart and capable at other times, but when it comes to children, he always has a motherly feeling."
"Your Majesty is right." The Qing man said with an apologetic smile, "Perhaps it's the empress's heart ailment caused by having no place to go after being in the palace for a long time. It won't go away for a while."
She felt quite guilty when she said this, but the emperor believed it deeply and felt even more scared.
Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang's pregnancy was saved this time. Otherwise, he felt that his concubine might not be able to hold on.
But there were still some days before the birth. Thinking of King Jin's premature birth, the emperor frowned, thought about it, and said: "The imperial doctor who is always used here in Ahuang is younger after all. I will look back and adjust it." Come here to serve me."
The Qing people hurriedly thanked their master, and after seeing the emperor off, they went to tell Yun Fenghuang the good news: "Your Majesty still values you, and His Majesty means what he said. If you fail to deal with the child, what will happen to Your Majesty?" It's understandable. My Majesty, tell me, can we make a fuss from here?"
"I have also thought about it, but I'm afraid it's hard to explain the article here." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "After all, Ji Qin and the others are dormant beside Brother 21, not for a day or two, not for a year or two, but It’s been a full thirteen years! I didn’t notice it for so long, and if word got out, even if His Majesty didn’t say anything, I would feel ashamed!”
She shook her head and was not going to talk about this troublesome thing for the time being, but said, "His Majesty said that he would arrange for his imperial physician to come over? Although it would be fine to serve your majesty's imperial physician, I would rather serve the Empress Dowager. "
The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Especially Wei Shidu."
"Although Wei Shidu has exquisite medical skills, he is still a member of the Empress Dowager. The empress is pregnant now, so it is better to be on the safe side." The Qing people advised, "Kai Shidu may not be willing to serve the empress sincerely."
"It's not that I really want him, I just think that the Empress Dowager is out of touch, and it's hard for me to do anything to her now." Yun Fenghuang said, "Even if she can't help but avoid me all the time, but seeing her He didn't say a word after meeting, how can I still torture him? This Weishi has been serving the Queen Mother for many years, and he may know something... He just asked for the people in front of the Queen Mother for no reason, but it is not easy for Your Majesty to explain. .”
Earlier, she was able to make the Empress Dowager helpless. In the final analysis, her interests at that time were consistent with Chunjia's.
Worst of all, what she did made Chunjia feel bad.
So he was happy to back her up, and she acted unscrupulously.
But at this moment, it was because of his own flaws, so not only could he not rely on the emperor to persecute the empress dowager openly, but he also had to guard against arousing Chunjia's ideas.
It's very troublesome.
But it was just a trouble. Yun Fenghuang discussed it with the people around him and finally came up with a solution. However, he couldn't do it right away to avoid making the emperor suspicious, so he could only delay it for a few days.
Then she remembered the matter about Yun Qin Gao: "Have you not told the Yin family yet? Go and remind Yin Qu personally. I just tried to persuade Yin Qu to calm down and stop making trouble in front of His Majesty again. Now No better than before.”
Yin Qu has been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for five or six years, and the emperor is almost ready to replace him.
If he goes to make trouble now, Chunjia might just brush him off and give him some punishment.
Although both Yin Qu and Yun Fenghuang knew that Chun Jia would not be ruthless, they were just worried that the important position would be held by one person for a long time, which would be detrimental to the country and the imperial power.
But the struggle over the country's foundation was imminent, and the harem of the previous dynasty was filled with people who tried to figure out the holy will.
Later, Gu Zhen was abandoned, and the Gu family was also imprisoned. If Yin Qu resigned and was scolded at this time, it would definitely make some people have the idea of burning the cold stove.
In that case, who knows who will benefit from the situation that Yun Fenghuang finally created that is beneficial to Xuanqing Palace
A reclusive third prince was enough to upset her, but she didn't want another prince to emerge as a rising star and add to her road to Qingci Palace.
Chen Jing also understood the seriousness and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will personally go and talk to Yin Shangshu."
He left for a while and came back to report. Yin Qu was really furious and wanted to go to the palace gate immediately to see him and tell Chun Jia.
"This servant has told Yin Shangshu according to your Majesty's instructions. Your Majesty has always doted on His Highness the Seventh Prince. What's more, His Highness the Seventh Prince is gentle and polite. He is the most similar to the prince before Your Majesty came to power. He was so good. How could Your Majesty do it for Miss Qin Gao? "Aggrieved by your own flesh and blood?" Chen Jing said softly, "His Majesty must have some plans. Maybe he just wanted to take this opportunity to inspire Yin Shangshu to go and argue, so that he could find an excuse to send Yin Shangshu away, thereby suppressing the momentum of Xuanqing Palace... "
"Yin Shangshu didn't want to hear it at first, but Princess Yi got the news and rushed there in a hurry. She persuaded Yin Shangshu by convincing him."
"Now the Yin family's father and daughter have the same idea, that is, all matters must be decided by the empress."
There was nothing he could do if he didn't listen to Yun Fenghuang's arrangements. After all, Yin Qu was previously the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and held a high position. Yun Fenghuang could not find another ally of this level under his command.
But now, the days of Yin Qu's resignation are numbered. After that, although he can still be an official in the court, his status and power will be sharply reduced, and his value to the imperial concubine will of course be greatly reduced.
Who knows if Yun Fenghuang will turn against him
The seventh prince has neither married a concubine nor signed a vassal status, so he is still in the hands of his adoptive mother.
"It's good that they know what's appropriate." Yun Fenghuang told the Yin family and his daughter about this matter. In fact, it was a tactful reminder to them to restrain themselves later. At this moment, seeing that Yin Qu and Yin Nuluo were both sensible, they were very satisfied and said with a smile. , "That's all, since we have agreed to your majesty, let Xiao Qi lead Qin Gao to play for a while. But he can't relax on his own schoolwork, so he usually asks Ru Yi'er to take the two girls."
The second princess is smart and clever, and dealing with her two cousins is nothing more than a trivial matter.
Yun Fenghuang was very relieved to leave this job to her.
After thinking for a while, she asked the person sent to the Princess Sui'an Mansion, "Is there any news over there?"
It wasn't until noon the next day that someone came to report it, saying that Ji Qin was quite surprised when he heard about it, so he kept someone waiting for two days to inquire about the situation.
"Replying to your Majesty, the slave over there went over this morning and looked very unhappy." The palace man lowered his hand and said, "The other side said that the assassination of His Highness Minghui had nothing to do with them. As for His Majesty, Ji Qin also said that it is impossible for Bian Hui to notice their existence, otherwise His Majesty would not test the empress in a tactful manner, and I am afraid that he would have taken them down directly."
After hearing this, Yun Fenghuang was not happy but worried: "What did they do in private?"
"The servant also asked, but Ji Qin refused to answer at first. He only said that they had no ill intentions towards the empress and would not cause any trouble to the empress." The palace servant said, "Later, the servant became bold and told them that your majesty is wise and mighty. Workers are not for free. The empress noticed their traces from Gu Shi Fu Zhu, how could you know that your majesty would not find anything? If you confess to the empress as soon as possible, the empress may be able to help cover up something. Otherwise, the empress will There are also the emperor's favorite and the emperor's heir, what do they have? Ji Qin thought for a long time before revealing something... "
The palace man must have adjusted his emotions on the way back, but he still couldn't help but pause for breath before continuing, "Ji Qin said that Sun Yu's death was his fault."
Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment before he realized who Sun Yu was. After all, this person was not from the harem, and he didn't come to her very often when he was alive.
It had been many years since she died in the line of duty. If she hadn't had a good memory, she would have forgotten it.
"Are they crazy?!" The imperial concubine immediately became furious, "If you dare to kill the imperial officials, you can just retaliate. After all, these remnants are doing the things of rebellious officials and traitors! But who is Sun Yu?! The Imperial City Commander! That’s the leader of the Emperor’s personal army, how dare they do this?!”
As he spoke, Yun Fenghuang felt his heart skip a beat for a long time.
As the overall leader of the Imperial City Department, Sun Yu did not perform very well when he was in office. He even performed reluctantly on various tasks assigned by the emperor himself.
But after all, he is also someone close to Chunjia.
When the Ji family was in great power, the emperor, with the support of Duke Yi, contacted the regent privately, and took advantage of the incident at the summer banquet to take charge of the palace. According to the agreement, half of the Imperial City was taken away from the regent.
Sun Yu took office at that time. He may not have the ability. After all, he was recruited when the emperor was dormant. At that time, the emperor had very little choice.
Loyalty must be valued more than ability.
In short, Sun Yu was very important in terms of official positions, missions, and status before the emperor.
Just such a master, when he was thoroughly investigating the palace incident, was killed, and there was no clue... At that time, in order to stabilize people's hearts, they could only find a random murderer and close the case in a hurry.
But the emperor will definitely not give up and will definitely tell someone to investigate secretly. There has been no news for many years...
Ji Qin and these remnants were actually able to do such a thing! ! !
This means that Ji's remaining power and manpower are more profound and terrifying than Yun Fenghuang expected!
"They can kill Sun Yu, can they also kill me and Prince Jin?!" Yun Fenghuang couldn't think otherwise. She calmed down and continued to ask: "Why did they kill Sun Yu? Is it possible, Gong? Change?"
