Yun Fenghuang calmed down and said, "What about the loving mother Queen Mother now?"
The people of the Qing Dynasty said: "The empress dowager, the loving mother, is still resting in the palace... It's just that Ning Guogong has a plan and sends people to wait on her at her residence."
"Who found out that the empress dowager had murdered the prince?" Yun Fenghuang asked again, "What proof is there?"
The Qing people looked a little strange: "Now everyone's thoughts are on Your Majesty, and we haven't seriously investigated this matter yet. But it was the empress dowager herself who suddenly surrendered. Ning Guogong and Jiang Lan were both shocked, and they didn't If I dare to deal with it, I can only ask her to go back to her residence and report to the Empress Dowager. But no news has come out to the Empress Dowager."
Thinking of the Empress Dowager's previous instructions, saying that besides having King Wei accompany her these days and not wanting to be disturbed anymore, Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "Fetch water."
Such a big thing happened in the palace, and as the queen, she had to come forward.
"Mother, you have made up your mind. I can't persuade you now." After cleaning up, she got up and went to see her loving mother, the Empress Dowager. Before leaving, she said to Jiang, "But now the situation has clearly changed. I still ask mother to do it." There’s no need to rush anything!”
Jiang frowned and said, "I know."
After a pause, she affirmed, "I did not frame the empress dowager, the loving mother. It must have been caused by other people."
Yun Fenghuang didn't say anything more, gathered up his robe, and left in a hurry.
After a while, Feng Chaan arrived at the residence of the empress dowager. This is a small private courtyard. Now it is surrounded on three floors, inside and outside, and the atmosphere is solemn.
The Empress Dowager and Chun Jia simply did not speak, and no one dared to restrict the Empress Dowager. Now the Empress came again, whom the Emperor sacrificed her life to save. They were quickly announced, and the Empress allowed the Empress to come in and speak.
"Empress Dowager, what's going on?" Yun Fenghuang entered and bowed, then asked slowly, "Okay, are you...?"
After she became the empress, she should actually follow Chunjia and call the Empress Dowager "Mother", but because the Empress Dowager never liked her, she still called her "Queen Mother" in private, so that both of them would be more comfortable.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Yuan heard this, first dismissed her, and then smiled coldly: "You mother and daughter know best how the prince died. Why come here to pay tribute now?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang was so shocked in the past two days that he didn't react at all at the moment, just expressionless.
Empress Dowager Yuan didn't care about her calmness and said calmly: "It's just that you have the means to win over the emperor's heart? He even risked his life for you. The Ai family is afraid and he is afraid of you. But this At that time, you and your daughter had a murderous attack on the prince. If the prince knew about it, he would already be troubled by many things. If he worries about this again, wouldn't it make things worse? Simply, the Ai family should recognize him and support him. Even if he has a grudge from now on, he will never kill the Aijia for this... By the way, just to put on a show, the Aijia have already ordered Gu Zhen to be executed together... You, mother and daughter, should never do this again. After all, to the outside world and the emperor’s side, treat it as the Ai family’s doing!”
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment and said, "Just for this?"
"Isn't that enough?" Empress Dowager Yuan sneered and said, "Oh, the Ai family has forgotten that although you are also a mother, you can give birth to more than one child, but you are so generous... King Zhen and Kang An are like this Rare twins can be used as bargaining chips to frame people... How can you understand the thoughts of being a mother like this in the Ai family?!"
The Queen Mother shed tears, "The young man from the Ai family married into the clan and stayed with the late king for many years, but there was still no movement! Although the prince is not the biological son of the Ai family, he hugged her right after he landed. The Ai family admitted that that year I was also worried that when he grew up, knowing that he was not a biological child of the Ai family would create a rift with the Ai family, so they spent many years on guard against him, but after all, the Ai family also sincerely regarded him as their own child. All these years! Even the Ai family can’t let go of the poor girl, let alone the emperor’s son! No matter how much thought and ideas the Ai family has, they are all based on the emperor’s good behavior!”
"If the emperor is in trouble, what else will the Ai family do?"
"Do you think the Ai family, like you, only sees their own glory and wealth, and their position as Queen Mother?!"
"If there is only one choice between the position of Queen Mother and the emperor's son, the Ai family will choose the emperor's son without even thinking about it - you don't understand! You are born in an environment with many children, and you only have yourself in your heart, and your own flesh and blood are all. People who are less important than you will never understand in this life!"
Tears fell from her eyes, and she said bitterly, "The Ai family is really afraid of you... The Ai family never expected to have a daughter-in-law like you in this life, and the ambitious emperor whom the Ai family has painstakingly taught , would do such a thing... Now the Aijia only asks you not to cause trouble anymore. For the sake of the emperor's true love for you, please don't make trouble for him anymore. The Aijia doesn't want anything else and wants nothing. Got it!"
"The Ai family will shoulder all the charges that prevent you from living a good life with the emperor. I beg you, from now on, you will be an honest queen. At most, you will suppress the concubines from murdering some restless princes. For the rest, Don’t do any of those things, okay?!”
Yun Fenghuang didn't know what to say for a moment, so he whispered: "Empress, I am..."
"Shut up!" Queen Mother Yuan shouted in a broken voice, "Don't tell the Ai family about what is available and what is not available! The Ai family will ask you one sentence: Can you do what the Ai family wants?!"
Yun Fenghuang hesitated to speak, but when she saw the Queen Mother glaring at her fiercely, as if she was going to attack her with all her strength if she denied it, she sighed: "I obey my command."
"... Remember it yourself." Queen Mother Yuan said with tears, "And your mother, please don't do anything else in the future!"
"… yes."
After listening to these words, the Queen Mother finally calmed down and said with choked sobs: "You don't have to guard against the Ai family from now on. As long as you don't cause trouble, the Ai family is willing to be a vegetarian all day long. I hope God will bless you mother and son, so that a perfect prince can be a peaceful one." , I can be a queen in peace, and as long as the emperor doesn’t worry about you anymore, the Ai family won’t care about anything!”
Then he said, "Now that the prince is gone, the country will still have to establish a crown prince. Don't be impatient. The Ai family has already ordered people to mention this matter in two days and establish the king of Jin. Do you have any other ideas?"
Yun Fenghuang had no choice but to say: "No, thank you very much, Madam, actually..."
"Don't say those unintentional words to the Ai family. The Ai family doesn't want to hear it!" Queen Mother Yuan shook her head and choked, "If you have a conscience and be more honest in the future, the Ai family will be satisfied!"
She cried and said, "The Ai family has admitted defeat. If the Ai family can't fight, you can't control you, let alone the emperor! It's just that you don't feel sorry for the emperor, and the Ai family does! So for the sake of the emperor, the Ai family admits defeat." ! As long as you don’t drag the emperor down, the Ai family will give you whatever you want!"
... After a long while, Yunfeng Huang walked out of the courtyard with a stupefied face. On the way back to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, she suddenly asked: "I have wanted to abandon King Zhen and Kang An several times before to plot against Gu Zhen. Is it because of my cruel heart?" ?”
"My Lady, don't think too much." Of course Qingren and the others felt that their master was cruel, otherwise they wouldn't have tried desperately to stop him at that time. But now that things have passed and the two young masters are doing well, of course they will go to the right place. Youyi said, "There's nothing you can do about it. In the final analysis, it's Gu Zhen and the others who went too far in bullying!"
Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly, thinking of Jiang and Empress Dowager Yuan, especially Empress Dowager Yuan. Over the years, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been at war with each other countless times. Who would have thought that one day Empress Dowager Yuan would take the initiative to take the blame for the empress and her daughter
It seemed that Queen Mother Yuan really loved Chunjia, and Mrs. Jiang really loved her... Both mothers felt that she could not understand the feeling of sacrificing everything for their children.
In fact, at least the current Yun Fenghuang really can't understand it.
After all, Jiang had taught her since she was a child to think about herself first at all times.
No matter parents, husband or children, they should be put behind.
But that's not what the person who taught her did...
This made the queen, who had always been clear-minded and determined, feel confused.
If she were in a similar situation and was the King of Jin, would she act like Jiang and the Empress Dowager Yuan? Anyway, Yun Fenghuang definitely won't do it now.
She has more than one child from Prince Jin.
Maybe this was her behavior that shocked Chunjia in the first place. She only thought about herself, so she never thought of risking her life to save others at the critical moment, so she didn't expect others to treat her like this.
In any case, Queen Mother Yuan's choice was ultimately beneficial to mother and daughter.
Moreover, the Queen Mother even took over the proposal to establish King Jin as the crown prince, which can be said to have saved Yun Fenghuang a big deal.
The queen should have been happy at this time, but she couldn't be happy, and instead became even more confused.
But after returning to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, the queen remembered another thing, which also needed to be dealt with immediately: "Where is Qi Jiuzhang now? How is he doing?"
Qi Jiuzhang is doing well now, because no one except the Empress Dowager knows that the two arrows that caused the empress to almost die on the spot and the emperor to this day are bedridden are from his hands.
After all, the palace was in chaos at the time, and Qi Jiuzhang's bows and arrows were snatched from the assassins' hands, and he had used them many times before to protect his colleagues and the queen.
In this case, no one would care at all if he shoots an arrow.
It was because of the Empress Dowager's background that she had such thorough ears and eyes.
Even because Qi Jiuzhang saved many people, Ning Guogong admired him very much. He went to the emperor in the morning and personally asked for credit for him.
Therefore, Qi Jiuzhang has now changed his residence, from the mountain camp where he was originally randomly assigned to be the vanguard of the Northern Army, to a separate courtyard vacant by an important minister.
When receiving the news of the Queen's summons, Qi Jiuzhang first refused: "The general is a foreigner. He is different from the Queen and the Queen, but it is inconvenient."
The person who was ordered to summon him was Chen Zhu, who was Yun Fenghuang's confidant and knew a lot of things. At this moment, he smiled and said: "The Queen misses the old relationship, so she plans to have a private chat with the general. If the general is not willing, , let the Imperial City Secretary come to ask the general why he killed the king that day, and that was what he did."
Qi Jiuzhang's expression remained unchanged, and he just shouted: "How dare you eunuch! How dare you talk such nonsense in broad daylight! Everyone knew that Qi was guarding him with all his heart. How could he kill the king?! Could it be that you, a slave, are in a coma? You're so embarrassed, you dare to slander the imperial generals!"
"Since the general won't insist on going, our family won't dare to force him." Chen Zhu followed Yun Fenghuang when he was a boy. Relying on his master, the whole journey was smooth sailing. He didn't dare to offend anyone wherever he went. This was the first time. Hearing such humiliation, his face changed for a moment, and then he snorted coldly and walked away!
When he returned to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, he had no choice but to add fuel to the fire and be jealous of Yun Fenghuang's return to life.
Yun Fenghuang sighed: "The young man who was weak and taciturn back then has really grown up now. He just wants to show off to me, but he is not worthy."
All her good looks towards Qi Jiuzhang only came from Qi Jiulu.
I didn't let this person do it on purpose.
Especially when this person wants her to die!
At this moment, he said the name of a palace official, "Go find her, and then ask her to report it to the Imperial City Department."
On the other hand, the Qing people couldn't bear it: "Your Majesty, if this happens, I'm afraid that the entire Qi family... I'm not worried about anything else. I'm afraid that you will feel regretful in the future."
"Qi Jiuzhang also found this himself." Yun Fenghuang looked indifferent, "Besides, the Empress Dowager prefers Your Majesty, this matter may not necessarily be hidden."
However, before the palace officials brought the matter to the Imperial City, a report came from outside the palace, saying that Qi Jiuzhang came to see the queen.
The servants were speechless when they heard this. They didn't know what the master meant.
Couldn't it just be for entertaining the queen's master and servants
