"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment and then said softly, "I know. But it didn't last as long as His Highness thought. He only found out not long ago."
Chunjia asked in a deep voice: "Why didn't you tell me?"
He didn't say why he didn't tell Sui'an. After all, it was such a big thing, and Sui'an was an heir. He was extremely depressed about this at that time, and he was depressed after being enlightened by various parties. It was only after he adopted a pair of girls that things gradually eased.
How can Yun Fenghuang speak about such a thing
What the emperor cared about was that it was fine if she didn't tell Sui'an, so why did she even hide it from him
"... Because I... have no face to report to Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, thinking that the one I want to hide the most is you. You really know that, and you have no choice but to confess. You don't know, I What should I do to tell you
When you entered the palace at the beginning of the year, wasn't it enough to talk to you about Qi Jiulu's lessons
She lowered her eyes slightly, with a bit of sadness in her voice, and choked with sobs, "I made a solemn promise to Your Majesty back then... I did think that Brother Twenty-one was born in a humble family, and being able to be the Lord was already a blessing earned through three lifetimes of cultivation. , what more could I ask for? Who knew... he would actually do such a thing... How can I have the face to tell you? I can only hide my ears and steal the news. I hope no one knows about this for the rest of my life. "
Chunjia looked at her for a long time before saying, "Then do you know why Xie Wuzheng did this?"
This problem is even more deadly than the previous one.
Yun Fenghuang's heart skipped a beat. The most important thing was that she didn't know how much Chunjia knew about this
Ji Qin…
This person came to the palace to see her.
It is impossible to say that it is completely put aside, but simply because Xie Wuzheng lost the princess of Sui'an, he could still use reasons such as "I have nothing to say" and "I am afraid of irritating the princess even more", although these reasons are also far-fetched. , it also seems that she is quite different.
But after all, it was only the interests of Princess Sui'an that were harmed.
In Chunjia's heart, Yun Fenghuang's weight, at least for now, is greater than that of the eldest princess.
But when it comes to the remnants of the Ji family, especially the layout of the past many years before the Ji family collapsed, it cannot be said to be related to the previous dynasty, or even to the country and the throne.
Yun Fenghuang is not that silly and sweet, he should know the importance.
What does it mean to hide such a big thing from the emperor
What kind of thoughts are hidden
"... It seems that he was bewitched by the remnants of the Ji family." Yun Fenghuang's mind was spinning, and he told the story of Ji Qin and others hiding around Xie Wuzheng, only blurring the whole story, implying that she also He didn't know much about it, so he whispered, "Even Xie Fuwang, who is claiming to be the heir of my eldest brother, is him... he and Ji's daughter, pretending to be him. When I first heard about it, I was shocked and angry. I feel extremely guilty towards Your Majesty and Princess Sui'an. So... I didn't report it immediately. I just wanted to be conceited first, and then I would report to Your Majesty after I found out their details, so that I could catch them all, and... I could also use the merits. Atonement.”
These words were both true and false, and the false one was that she had never considered confessing to Chunjia unless absolutely necessary.
But if Chunjia goes to investigate, it will be found that she has indeed learned of the existence of Ji Qin and others recently, and after meeting with Ji Qin, she immediately launched a thorough investigation and design of the other party.
This statement can definitely be reconciled.
At this moment, Chunjia didn't know whether to believe it or not. He was silent for a moment and continued to ask noncommittally: "In that case, how did Sui'an know the details of this matter? Xie Wuzheng has been deceiving him for many years. Ordinarily he would not be here. At this time, she suddenly lost her hand. You didn't mean to tell her, but who did it? It can't be possible, it's the remnants of the Ji family? Why did they do this? "
Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am stupid and I don't know."
She was really confused at the moment, and could only vaguely feel that an unprecedentedly large net was hooding her head!
But no one knows exactly who is leading this network, and how many people and things make up this network.
This was also the reason why she had already foreseen the coming storm but was so helpless... because she couldn't even identify the specific enemy. How to deal with it
"You have been targeting the East Palace recently." Chunjia was silent for a while and then said slowly, "Could it be that you suspect that this matter has something to do with the prince?"
"The prince is unlikely." Yun Fenghuang only weighed the pros and cons for a moment, then gave up the possibility of blaming the East Palace, and shook his head decisively, "The prince relied on his qualifications and upright character to surpass many brothers, and was able to establish the East Palace. Now he is far away from him How long has it been since I was ordained? Even if he is dissatisfied with me, he won't use evil tricks on me right now."
Chunjia closed her eyes for a moment and said softly: "Just rest in Xuanqing Palace... I'm afraid it won't be convenient for me to come here next, but the palace affairs are entrusted to Shufei Defei, they are all people you have used over the years, I'm sure it won't be difficult. King Zhen and Kang'an are young and not sensible yet, so they will follow you. As for Fifteen, although they haven't had their birthdays yet, they are already ten years old. Let's move to Qiongjiu Palace. I will You don’t have to worry about being watched.”
"… yes."
Chunjia opened her eyes, stared at her for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is there anything else?"
Yun Fenghuang was stunned, with a puzzled expression on his face.
The emperor explained patiently: "There are other things, I said something similar, but didn't say anything?"
That's really too much...
For example, the queen before you was dethroned, or the fall of King Chongxin, who had high hopes...
Yun Fenghuang secretly sighed in his heart, but a bitter look immediately appeared on his face: "If it weren't for... If it weren't for Brother Twenty-one and I are blood relatives, I... Although I'm not very smart, I'm not the kind of person who listens to the wind. How could someone like Yu be deceived by him for so many years? He even delayed His Highness Sui'an?"
"...I understand." Chunjia breathed a sigh of relief unnoticeably, feeling much more relaxed, and said slowly, "Just rest for now. I'll come see you again in two days."
"I am so stupid that your Majesty has to worry about you." Yun Fenghuang has always been domineering most of the time. Even if he did something wrong, he would refuse to admit it or even beat him up.
Nowadays, it is rare to show a gentle and guilty look. Chunjia was surprised, but also felt a little pity. She felt that she must have felt sorry for Sui'an and resented being deceived and framed by her brother. When she left, she couldn't help but relax. Pointed out: "Sui'an is the daughter of the late emperor after all. When she is in the limelight, I must give her some dignity. After the incident, she calms down and she must understand the severity."
Since he said so, even if Princess Sui'an was not calm enough to forgive Yun Fenghuang after the incident, the emperor would still have a way to make her "forgive".
Therefore, after watching the holy driver leave, the people of the Qing Dynasty were so happy that they could not help but wipe away their tears and whispered to Yun Fenghuang: "Did your Majesty hear this? Your Majesty is protecting you in his heart."
"..." There was no smile in Yun Fenghuang's eyes, and he just sighed, "Why do you have such a short memory? I just told you that the one who wants us dead now is not His Majesty, but someone else!"
The people of the Qing Dynasty were unwilling to think about the worst, but at this point, what was the point of covering their ears and stealing the bell
The fact is that she was not a newcomer who entered the palace that year. Even though she had an amazing start, because of her birth and status, she was not taken too seriously and there was a possibility of being treated lightly.
He entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and now more than ten years have passed. From a mere Baolin, he once ascended to the throne. He has many heirs, all of whom are loved by Chunjia... With such a record and power, how stupid can an opponent be to think that... How could Princess Sui'an be affected by just one thing
Chunjia's sincerity towards the three younger sisters was clearly demonstrated as early as when he took charge of the marriages of the three young ladies.
He has no intention of deliberately treating these three sisters harshly, provided that his own interests and status are not threatened.
if not…
Chunjia would sacrifice and use them without any hesitation.
Since he values himself more than his three sisters, why would he wrong his beloved concubine for the sake of his sisters
Princess Sui'an was deceived so that she could not have an heir of her own, but the culprit pretended to be a love saint by stepping on her pain, and once moved her so much... Such a humiliating thing might make the whole government and the public uproar over it, and sympathize with her. Waves of innocent golden branches and jade leaves.
But from Chunjia's standpoint...
It’s not like he was so harmed that he couldn’t have any biological flesh and blood.
Or when he first came to the throne, he still had considerable affection for his three sisters.
But after eight years of dormancy, once he succeeded in taking office, and then stepped on one political opponent after another to truly dominate the world, this kind of gratitude and this kind of affection, both emotionally and in the overall situation, have been weakened to the extreme. : Emotionally, the throne and the status of Xiaozong's heir only gave him an opportunity, but in the end it was him who forbeared, planned, took risks, and fought step by step... This was the fruit of victory after he put in a lot of hard work.
The kindness of the father-in-law whom he had never met had been completely consumed in this process.
Even more, it is a show from the overall situation.
After Chunjia's throne was stabilized, this overall need began to change quietly: in the past, Chunjia's throne was not stable enough, and he needed to emphasize that he was Xiaozong's heir, Xiaozong, or the legal successor to the throne.
But now, he has firmly established himself as the emperor based on his strength.
Then it needs to be downplayed.
Only in this way can the overall situation be completely in one's own hands.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang was determined that the people who plotted against him would not naively think that Sui'an could bring her down.
There will definitely be a backup plan...
Thinking of Chunjia's promise just now and his inquiry about whether there was anything else hidden from him, Yun Fenghuang's eyes flashed and he finally let out a sigh of relief.
She is no longer the Yun Fenghuang who just entered the palace.
I will never make the same mistake twice.
Furthermore, she had done so many things without telling Chunjia, and if she just pulled out two of them, she wouldn't have to wait for the people behind the scenes to plan, and she would be afraid that the emperor would dislike her in a minute.
In this case, it's better to take a gamble and bet that the people behind the scenes don't know that much, at least not in that detail. There may be room for sophistry and denial.
If it really doesn't work...
Yun Fenghuang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly ordered his surroundings: "Go and ask the people in front of Miss Qin Gao to come over."
