In the Taichu Palace, Chunjia ate alone without knowing the taste, and then fell into deep thought: "The queen and the prince are both smart people, and Xie Wuzheng is not stupid either. They themselves would not do such a thing. It's a matter of fact... But who is behind the scenes, trying to stir up the storm?"
Unlike Yun Fenghuang, who has too many enemies to count.
Chunjia also had many enemies, but most of them were killed by the whole family. There were only a handful of them who were still alive at the moment.
He thought about it privately and felt that the reason why these people are alive is because they feel the preciousness of life. Ordinarily, they shouldn't look for trouble anymore
Furthermore, even if there are still people who are worried about it, they should always weigh the pros and cons
Now that the crown prince has been established, the new queen has been appointed, the middle palace and the east palace combined are no match for Chunjia. Even if something unexpected happens, he can calm the situation with just a few clicks.
What's the point of causing trouble like this
Afraid he can't find any clues to kill them all? ?
"..." The emperor thought for a long time and asked Yan Yin, "Is there anything unusual happening everywhere recently?"
Yan Yin said cautiously: "To tell you that everything is fine, except for one thing, Princess Minghui... may only be here for a few days."
"Didn't you say there was still some time left?" Chunjia raised her eyebrows slightly.
Yan Yin whispered: "It is said that His Highness is ill and cannot tolerate the decoction... plus some housework to relieve his anger, so... the imperial doctor also tried his best."
"Is Grandma Huang okay?" Chunjia asked thoughtfully.
"The Empress Dowager sends people to visit her every day, and her diet has been reduced recently." Yan Yin thought for a while and said, "I also visited Shan Yuan to see many assets, as if to pray for His Highness. But..."
Minghui definitely can't be saved.
Chunjia said calmly: "Let's see if there are any nourishing things in the inner treasury and send some over. Let's talk about our feelings."
No matter how many grudges there are between them, they still have to show off in the scene anyway.
After a while, the queen and the prince arrived one after another.
Chunjia did not let them argue, and said straightforwardly: "I have already figured out the reason for this matter, so there is no need for you to say more. Go back first. I will give you an explanation within three days."
Yun Fenghuang's weeping and the prince's resolute self-defense were both blocked in his throat. The prince did not dare to disobey. Yun Fenghuang was unwilling to give in, but he still said: "Your Majesty..."
"Ahuang, please go back first." Chunjia looked sideways at her, but did not scold her. Her tone was very gentle, but there was no room for doubt. She said calmly, "You also know how I got here. This kind of sowing discord I can’t handle it with such methods.”
The new queen looked at him for a moment, then finally waved her sleeves and walked away.
The emperor looked at her back with a heavy gaze. He looked away for a long time and ordered the people around her: "Show me the imperial edict."
Yun Fenghuang had just returned to Chongchang Hall when he received the news that the few people under Xie Wuzheng who were the first to spread rumors were detained in the imperial prison, and now the emperor was interrogating them personally.
"Go to the eldest princess's house and ask what's going on?" Yun Fenghuang pressed his forehead and ordered tiredly, "Even if Xie Wuzheng is a waste, Ji Qin is watching, and he will never be so impulsive. This what happened?"
Qingren immediately went to give the order, and when he came back, he looked at her worriedly: "Your Majesty?"
"...It's okay." For some reason, Yun Fenghuang had an ominous premonition in his heart since he just came back, but he couldn't find a clue. He could only force himself to calm down and said softly, "Your majesty is wise, you should know that this palace is fine. If you want to deal with the prince, you don’t need to use this method that can be found out at a glance."
After all, she is just a concubine, and many things are inconvenient.
If Chunjia is determined to investigate, even if it is like the previous unsolved cases, it will still be difficult to escape her suspicion, but the emperor will always believe in her methods, and it is impossible to be caught so easily if she wants to harm the prince... This inference cannot be There should be a problem, so where is the problem
The bride's heart was beating fast, until a long time later, the person who went to the Princess Sui'an Mansion came back with a solemn look and reported: "Your Majesty, I went to the Princess Princess Mansion, but could not enter!"
"Why?" Yun Fenghuang frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know." The palace man said quickly, "Usually, if you go to the corner gate and say something, you will be let through. But that's not the case today! After I went there, there was no door open. After a while, someone came over and said, There is something going on in the eldest princess's mansion now, so it is not convenient to let the slave in. When the slave asked what happened, there was no movement over there."
Yun Fenghuang looked gloomy and said, "What happens next?"
"After that, I changed the front door and refused to open it. I only said that I would wait until the matters in the palace were settled." The palace man was a little uneasy and said, "Your Majesty, could it be that something happened in the eldest princess's palace?"
"..." Xinhou squinted her eyes, thought quickly for a moment, dismissed him, and suddenly said, "Does Sui'an know?"
The Qing people and other attendants were startled: "What do you mean, your Majesty?"
"The truth about her infertility." Yun Fenghuang said expressionlessly, "Although Sui'an is Xiaozong's biological daughter, she is not the legitimate daughter. And among Xiaozong's three biological daughters, she is the youngest. The elder sister above her is both the legitimate daughter and the legitimate daughter. She is the tallest, and is naturally the most valued; the second sister Yun'an is eloquent, well-born, and good at flattering, so she inevitably occupies a lot of attention. As the youngest, she can't be said to be harsh, but she can't be said to be taken seriously... Therefore, when she came to Xie Wuzheng, although my status was far less stable than it is now, she did not dare to offend me."
After all, although Chunjia needs to treat Xiaozong's own flesh and blood well.
But the most representative one is Ming Hui.
Secondly, there is also the option of Yun'an.
Sui'an actually ranks last in the political arch.
If she offends the emperor's favorite concubine, it doesn't matter if something happens to her with her two sisters in front.
"If it weren't for this kind of thing, what big thing would happen to the eldest princess's house that could make her disgrace me?! Even if it were other things, she would have to ask me to help her speak! This is the only thing that can make the eldest princess displease me. People are avoiding you!" Xin Hou said in a cold voice, "Xie Wuzheng, this piece of trash, really succeeds more than fails!"
She took a deep breath and had no time to continue scolding this cousin, and said, "Since the eldest princess refuses to see my people, it can be seen that she either thinks that I and Xie Wuzheng are in the same group, or she is venting her anger on him too. I’m afraid! I’m afraid I’ll go to see the saint soon…”
Things are really in trouble now!
Face to face... Although Princess Sui'an was not given priority among the three Xiaozong daughters who needed courtesy from the emperor, she was still his biological daughter.
If Yun Fenghuang secretly disposed of the person before she made a fuss, without letting the outside world know about it, after Chunjia found out, even if he was angry and angry, he would definitely not expose her, and at most he would blame her privately.
but…
The current situation is that Sui'an will probably make things worse!
In this case, even Chunjia, could she silence this younger sister in public
Chunjia may believe that Yun Fenghuang is unlikely to sterilize Sui'an. After all, whether he believes that Yun Fenghuang is not such a person, or from a profit perspective, having nephews and nieces with Gongxiang blood, how can Not better than Xie Qingniao and Xie Qingque, the cheap nieces
But outsiders may not think so.
After all, even though Yun Fenghuang has been pretending to be a virtuous and virtuous person in the past few years, everyone knows that she spared no effort to support her mother's family after she was favored.
So for the sake of her natal brothers, isn't it impossible to acquiesce or even condone Princess Sui'an's childlessness
You must know that Chunjia deposed his aunt Ji Sheng as the empress of Xiaozong and forced Ji Sheng to burn himself to death in Qishan Palace. The most powerful reason was that Ji Sheng murdered Xiaozong's flesh and blood, leaving Xiaozong without an heir!
If it weren't for this reason, how could he, an adopted heir from a distant branch, be qualified to dethrone his father and empress Yuan Yuan
Therefore, even if Chunjia's throne is now stable, if his successor is beaten to death for murdering Xiaozong's flesh and blood, even if he only knows the truth and fails to report it, how can the world not be in an uproar
Yun Fenghuang couldn't guarantee that Chunjia would defend herself in this situation. Even if he did, the prince under her knees would never be able to ascend the throne again!
In that case, what can she do if she spends half her life working hard? !
"I must be removed!" Yun Fenghuang bit his lip and thought quickly about a countermeasure, "If Sui'an knew that he was infertile, it would be because of Xie Wuzheng..."
After all, not every woman can treat having children and biological heirs as an optional choice like her.
You Sui'an was depressed for a time because he had nothing to do. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he took two foster daughters, Xie Qingniao and Xie Qingque, into his lap.
Since she is so caring about her children, how could she give up
In fact, even people like Yun Fenghuang who do not regard children as necessary will never compromise easily after suffering such a loss: it is one thing whether she wants to have a child, but it is another thing if others do not let her have one!
"Since Sui'an has nothing to do, the respect for Xie Qingniao and Xie Qingque must be sincere..." Just thinking about whether to use this to make a fuss, the new queen frowned slightly, but rejected it, because after all, the adopted daughter was just the adopted daughter. , is nothing more than a substitute for Princess Sui'an when she has nothing to do.
For most people, if they can have biological flesh and blood, why should they care for other people's children
Xie Qingniao and Xie Qingque did not have the blood of the Gongxiang family. Their backers came from their adoptive parents and their aunt Yun Fenghuang.
If Princess Sui'an really puts their future in a place that is more important than her own words, she should not turn a blind eye to Yun Fenghuang's people now, but should negotiate with Yun Fenghuang first.
She didn't want to meet the new queen, and she made it clear that she didn't intend to reconcile.
In this case, using two cheap nieces to threaten him will only be counterproductive.
"So Xie Wuzheng is stupid!" Yun Fenghuang felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, "If you had insisted on this point back then, even if you gave up all other conditions, as long as you and Sui'an have biological flesh and blood, regardless of gender, , after all, there is still some room for maneuver..."
But now, there is no direct blood between the two parties, and Xie Wuzheng's performance as a love saint for many years is just a scam. Sui'an is not stupid. She is the daughter of the late emperor and has a golden branch. Even if she has wasted her youth for many years, it will not be difficult to marry again. , the remarried husband dare not not support her, why should he endure the nausea and continue to live with Xie Wuzheng? !
What's even more terrible is that out of concern for Yun Fenghuang, the sister-in-law, Sui'an can just repay her as long as she doesn't fall out. If she does, unless she is extremely stupid, she will definitely tear the whole palace apart!
Otherwise, once Yun Fenghuang gains power, what should we do if Chunjia goes to settle old scores with her
Yun Fenghuang felt bitter in his heart. When he was young and ignorant, he told Chunjia too many things about Qi Jiulu. Later, in order to cover up the matter, he had to set up a persona that valued his family. As a result, now, even if she I sincerely hate Xie Wuzheng even more than Sui'an. I'm afraid that no one in the harem or the government will believe him!
While he was hesitating, the palace servants from Taichu Palace had already come to invite him: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please come over."
