Yun Fenghuang sent the Empress Dowager back to her residence, and rushed back to Xingxin Hall. At this time, the emperor had not yet woken up. His loving mother, the Empress Dowager, visited him for a while, but she had already left.
"If you are tired, the Queen, please go and have a rest." Jiang Lan and Duke Ning were still guarding Chunjia's interior and exterior. Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows and said, "I will serve your Majesty well."
Compared to a while ago, Yun Fenghuang felt more at ease at this moment.
It's not anything else, but I know that the reason why the former harem has been in chaos these days is because of the love of the late Emperor Shenzong for his wife. Now that the Empress Dowager is on Chunjia's side, these disturbances will surely calm down gradually.
She composed herself and said, "Well, thank you, father-in-law."
It's not that Yun Fenghuang doesn't want to guard Chunjia here, but now that the emperor is unconscious, as a queen, she still has many things waiting for her.
Not to mention Jing Jieyu's previous actions and the aftermath of many concubines and concubines who died at the banquet, let's just say that the prince's death must be dealt with.
After exchanging a few words with Jiang Lan, he was about to turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, Duke Ning Guo hesitated for a moment, then caught up with him and clasped his fists, saying, "Can I go to the front of the group?"
"What does the Duke mean by this?" Yun Fenghuang was a little surprised.
Ning Guogong hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Just now, all the emperors' heirs fled for their lives on the orders of the empress. Some people were injured and even lost their lives trying to save the emperor's heirs. Now they..."
"I know." Yun Fenghuang thought he wanted to ask for some compensation from his subordinates. Although there were so many things going on at the moment, he didn't care about one more thing. He said immediately, "Thank you, Duke, for reminding me. It’s time for me to go and thank you soldiers in person!”
She asked Duke Ning Guo about the location. It was a large hall in the front, usually used for banquets and games, but now it was temporarily vacated as a place to rest.
After leaving the Xingxin Hall, he was not very happy for her to go there and get into trouble: "Why don't we go as a slave? Your Majesty is so rich, how can she go to those places?"
"Presumptuous!" Yun Fenghuang frowned, "I personally agreed to Duke Ning Guo. Besides, no matter which heir they rescued, as the legitimate mother, I should personally come forward to express my gratitude. How can I allow you to intercept it?"
These palace people's eyesight is still a bit shallow, of course, it may be that they are concerned and confused.
I don't even want to think about it. Since the prince died today, he would have to be re-established as the crown prince.
As a queen, if she doesn't make a presence everywhere to win over people's hearts, will she be able to be virtuous in the harem
Compared to the position of Qingci Palace, mere bad luck is nothing!
So she sat in the phoenix chariot and went to the front. When she came down, she heard suppressed crying coming from the hall.
Yun Fenghuang also felt a little sad. He stood there, adjusted his expression to a solemn and sad one, and then walked in.
As soon as they entered, they saw corpses covered with quilts all over the floor. Among them, the one closest to the door had an old man in armor with his back to the door. He was holding him in his arms and crying. The autumn wind was blowing, and the old man was gray. The sideburns are particularly sympathetic.
Yun Fenghuang then moved forward and said softly: "This..."
"The Queen!" As soon as she got closer, the old man noticed it, wiped his face fiercely, put down the body in his arms, raised his red eyes and looked at her, "It turns out the Queen is here!"
"Yes, I'm here." Only then did Yun Fenghuang see clearly that this was Duke Yi. Who was he holding
He glanced quickly and saw that the pale-faced young man lying on the ground was indeed Yun Qike!
Something happened to the prince of Yi Kingdom? !
Yun Fenghuang was shocked, and looked at Duke Yi with blood in her eyes. She looked towards the door calmly, but tried to keep her composure and said, "I heard that all the soldiers fought bloody battles for the royal family and unfortunately died. ,I… "
"My son Qike might not have died originally." Duke Yi Guo looked at her straightly and suddenly interrupted, "Because he saw that His Highness the King of Jin was intercepted by the enemy, he wanted to assassinate him. In a hurry, he used his own body to kill him. Treat each other... This is the end of his life!" As he spoke, he suddenly tore open Yun Qike's clothes, revealing the hideous wound on his chest.
People are dead and blood is clotted.
The horror of the wound was shocking to see.
Yun Fenghuang was simply not an ordinary woman. Instead of being frightened, she quickly showed a sad expression and said sadly: "Your Majesty..."
Before she could say anything high-sounding, Duke Yi Guo interrupted her again and said in a deep voice: "Back then, my family tried to murder your empress, and now my son repays it with his life. Can the grudge between you and me be wiped out? ?!”
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, mainly analyzing the possibility of the other party's sudden attack. After a moment, she said lightly, "Yes, the grudge between me and the Yun family will be wiped out from now on!"
"Okay!" Duke Yi Guo laughed miserably and said repeatedly, "Okay! Okay! Okay!!!"
Immediately his laughter stopped and he shouted, "Tomorrow I will open the ancestral hall, take away the name of the empress, and ask the empress to return to the sect and give her the surname Xie. From now on, she will have nothing to do with my Yun family!"
After saying this, he was speechless. He leaned over and picked up Yun Qike, choking and saying, "Qike, don't worry about the past anymore. The grudge is over. As a father... I will take you home now!"
Yun Fenghuang stood there, watching the father and son leave for a long time, then looked away without saying a word, steeled himself, and comforted the rest. On the way back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, both master and servant were silent.
As they were almost arriving at Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Chie plucked up the courage and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please don't argue with Duke Yi..."
"Of course I won't argue with him." Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I just suddenly felt that... the grudges are so boring."
Having said that, after entering Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, she immediately ordered her subordinates to find Jing Jieyu. She wanted to see people alive and dead, and no one could cheat her without paying the price!
Yun Qike had sacrificed his life unintentionally, so who was Jiang Mingdan
It was just that the palace servants went there once and came back to report soon, saying: "Jing Jieyu has been found, but she found it in the lake. Now she has no breath and is pickled. I dare not bring her to taint the empress." Eye."
Yun Fenghuang and the attendants were both surprised: "She could actually throw herself into the lake? How is this possible!"
Wasn't it because Jing Jieyu was afraid of death
How could a person who was so afraid of death have the courage to seek his own death, even if he knew that being found by the queen would not lead to good results
"I told you, I just found someone and drowned him to death." The palace man hesitated to speak, but another person walked in from outside and said softly, "If you make unreasonable decisions, please punish me!"
Yun Fenghuang frowned and looked at Yi Xingen: "You?"
The attendants were also surprised. After all, Yi Shi had always been respectful and sensible, and had never overstepped her authority like this.
They immediately became alert!
However, Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, stretched his eyebrows, and said, "Are you actually a member of the Empress Dowager?"
"Returning to your Majesty, I was adopted by my adoptive parents when I was young. I have always been told to keep an eye on the Empress Dowager after entering the palace." Yi Xing'en said apologetically, "It's just that I haven't done anything to the Empress Dowager in these years. In this way, I will always serve you."
Yun Fenghuang said with a half-smile but not a smile: "What this means is that if I do something to the Empress Dowager, you will not be able to serve me well, but will deal with me instead?"
Yi Xingen smiled and said nothing, obviously acquiescing.
The Queen was not angry with her. After all, Shenzong was the one who stayed to ensure that everything went smoothly for the Queen Mother in her later years. The Queen did not want to fall out with the Queen Mother, so of course she would not do anything to her.
Besides, she was still very satisfied with Yi Xing'en's performance over the years. Besides, she had never doubted Yi Xing'en before. Now that Yi Xing'en revealed her identity... her intention was self-evident.
So he didn't take it seriously and said casually: "You are from the Empress Dowager... Then is your brother the same?"
"Brother, Master Deng and others were actually prepared by the Empress Dowager for Your Majesty. However, they may not know it themselves. It was the Empress Dowager who secretly arranged for them to have the opportunity to communicate with Your Majesty." Yi Xingen's bamboo tube fell down as expected. Like beans, he said simply and neatly, "If Your Majesty cannot win them over, then the Queen Mother will not take any more care."
Yun Fenghuang understood. After all, the Empress Dowager herself said that Chunjia looked so much like the late Emperor Shenzong when she was young. She wanted to make him the new emperor because of this, but she also didn’t want this younger generation to show off and ruin the legacy left by Shenzong. Good impression.
If Chunjia's performance dissatisfied the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would not mind changing to another emperor who might not be quite like Shenzong, but at least be reliable.
"That's it." Yun Fenghuang nodded and suddenly said, "When my niece Kuo'er was consecrated as a princess and married to Wei He, the Empress Dowager personally spoke out and wanted some people from the Ji family to be married. Do you know about dowry?"
Yi Xingen said softly: "Don't worry, Madam, the Queen Mother is actually preparing for those people right now. If you are willing to let them serve Her Royal Highness Princess Xincheng, you can do it now. In fact, the Queen Mother has no other intentions. I do it sincerely for His Majesty and for the sake of the country."
At that time, Yun Fenghuang couldn't figure out the Empress Dowager's intention, so he refused with caution.
At this moment, Yi Xing'en didn't need to say it, she also knew that the Empress Dowager's move was mostly to help Xie Kuo, no, it should be said to be to help the country.
Those people said it belonged to the Ji family, but maybe it was actually left by the late Emperor Shenzong.
The Empress Dowager has been behind the scenes all these years, but Xie Kuo went to Wei He to take care of the Dalan family. Obviously she had not expected it before, but she also wanted to take the opportunity to lend a hand and cause Wei He as much trouble as possible. Let Xie Kuo's position in Wei He be more stable.
If he had known the position of the imperial grandmother, how could Yun Fenghuang refuse at that time
At this moment, I simply agreed on behalf of Xie Kuo: "Then I will thank the Imperial Grandmother on my behalf."
She asked some more details about what happened in the past, and then she realized that many things in the palace were actually under the control of the Empress Dowager.
It can only be said that the Shenzong couple are indeed not good friends.
Such a master is ahead of the curve, and the layout he had planned decades earlier... Yun Fenghuang's defeat was not unjust at all.
Fortunately, although she lost, the result was not necessarily bad.
After compiling his mood, Yun Fenghuang asked: "Why did you kill Jing Jieyu?"
