Yun Fenghuang leaned back and whispered: "Since you are here, don't alert the Imperial City Secretary first, and let him come over to talk."
She is now the queen of the palace, and it is not out of the ordinary to summon one or two ministers when the emperor is lying on his bed.
After all, husband and wife are one body, and the emperor cannot take matters into his own hands. It is also her duty for the queen to obey the authority in urgent matters and issue orders and take charge of some affairs on her behalf.
Therefore, he was not afraid that publicly summoning Qi Jiuzhang would cause criticism.
As for the relationship between Qi Jiuzhang and Qi Jiulu...
After the emperor personally shielded the queen from the arrow, who dared to mention the past so many years ago without a wink
After a while, the queen met Qi Jiuzhang in a flower hall in front of the palace.
Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion is where the harem is located, but it is inconvenient for foreign ministers like Qi Jiuzhang to enter.
As soon as they met, Qi Jiuzhang knelt down straight and said hello stiffly, his words and movements showing indifference and boredom.
Yun Fenghuang didn't give him any face, and said with a sneer: "You have done a good deed, and the Qi family is about to kill the nine clans, but you still dare to take advantage of me?"
"Why did the Qi family end up? Isn't it all thanks to the empress?" Qi Jiuzhang also sneered, "The empress was greedy for wealth and had to stay in the palace. It was nothing wrong, but why did she tease my brother and make him like this? Have you been depressed for all these years?"
"Although your brother is depressed, he did not delay his marriage first to Chao Jingyou and then to the young Gu family. There are even concubines like clouds in the backyard." Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "At this time, even the direct descendants have at least one You have almost ten children, right? But you don’t know how depressed you can be, so that you actually commit such a heinous crime?!”
If Qi Jiulu came to question her today, she might still feel a little guilty.
But Qi Jiuzhang was not qualified to make Yun Fenghuang feel ashamed.
Immediately, he scolded him back unceremoniously, "If your brother knew what you were doing, he would have wanted to kill you before you set off! The most Qi family can lose is a fool like you, which is better than a whole family." I didn’t know anything, so I was executed by nine tribes in a daze!”
Qi Jiuzhang said calmly: "There is no basis for this. Please don't wrongly accuse a good person."
"Unjustly accusing you?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "If you think I have no basis, why are you coming here now?"
"Of course this is because the general saw in his brother the tricks of the empress. You can always harm the people who protect you and admire you." Qi Jiuzhang said coldly, "What about the general? It is better to save one thing in order to have more troubles. I can only come here to see you."
Yun Fenghuang frowned: "Why did I harm your brother?"
Qi Jiuzhang sneered and said: "Brother, you are always good. Since I chased you to the Imperial Capital, you have survived many disasters and eight disasters. Is it possible that the empress is blind and deaf, unable to hear or see?!"
"..." Yun Fenghuang was speechless for a moment, and then said after a moment, "At that time, I also advised him to go back to the North and never come to the Imperial Capital again."
"Your Majesty said it was easy!" Qi Jiuzhang said coldly, "Everyone has come, and you have complained to him in a mixture of sadness and happiness, and you have enveloped everyone, and you have used the word "Xinyun"... At this time, you Let him go, if he was willing to leave like this, would he still come to the Imperial Capital in the first place?!"
Seeing the Queen's silence, he added, "If you want to say that the Queen's methods are better, I will say that people like you are the best at finding benefits for yourself. You just entered the palace when you first came. It is said that the harem was not easy to get along with at that time. Why do you want to let the stupid brother of Mo Jiang, who is deeply affectionate and loyal, have to stay in the palace to fight to the death? Even today, I have been fascinated by you for a long time! Compared with the emperor, Mo Jiang’s brother no longer How can you be so affectionate, and how can you compare to the tremendous wealth of the Gongxiang clan?"
"Are you happy?" Yun Fenghuang looked at him and said softly, "But I don't know if you will be happy when the Qi family is in disaster in the future? Although you are not the legitimate son, you have not been as valued as your brother since you were a child. But after all, you are of the Qi family's blood. The two generations of the Qi family have very few heirs, so they are not harsh on you. Where did you get the hatred to bring about such a disaster for the whole family? I pride myself on being cruel. , I never tried to trick Mr. Xie so deliberately back then!"
Qi Jiuzhang held his head and said nothing.
Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment and said, "How is your brother doing now?"
"How dare you worry about your mother-in-law?" Qi Jiuzhang sneered, but still said, "Since my brother came to the Imperial Capital that year, he has never been happy again! Even if his sister-in-law gave birth to his legitimate son, he still looked indifferent. . Nowadays, people in the North say that he has a silent and cold nature. Who still remembers the time when my brother celebrated wildly when he was a boy? I really don’t know what evil my ancestors have done. I wanted to marry you for my brother!"
"Then you have to ask your ancestors." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "And what qualifications do you Qi family have to blame me? It was your family who wanted to break off the engagement back then, but I, the Xie family, did not take the initiative to regret the marriage! "
Qi Jiuzhang choked and said immediately: "But after you broke off the engagement, you still teased my brother!"
"That's what I'm capable of." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "If your brother has the ability to control me and induce me to elope with him, I will accept this fate. If he can't do it himself, who can blame him? Just like me in this palace, I can step on other people's bones and climb up to the throne, that means I deserve to enjoy the blessings of this mother's world. Otherwise, I will become someone else's corpse, and I am willing to admit defeat! Isn't this the way the world is? Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. How many things can be reasonably justified? Could it be that I just had a discussion with your brother before we broke off the engagement? "
These words immediately made Qi Jiuzhang blush with anger, and after a while he said: "After many years of separation, you are still so cold-hearted! If I had known, when my brother knew that you were coming to the Imperial Capital, I shouldn't have helped him steal a horse to chase you!"
Yun Fenghuang's expression remained unchanged: "You really shouldn't have helped him. Maybe we would have broken up by then, and he would have been able to live a peaceful life with Chao Jingyou."
"You hate Chao Jingyou so much, will you accept it?" Qi Jiuzhang asked, "Even if my brother doesn't come to the Imperial Capital to find you, you will definitely find trouble for her!"
"Then what did you do?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "Listening to this tone, you feel sorry for your serious sister-in-law! But I heard that she had a hard time in the Qi family. When Huizhou City was destroyed, you guys The man rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and ran away. He had time to take Qi Luqing with him, but he had no time to take her with him?!"
She said calmly, "Based on this, it may not be a good thing that I didn't enter the Qi family in the first place!"
"You have the nerve to say this?!" Qi Jiuzhang has been grudged against her for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have been so bold as to take advantage of the palace affairs to shoot the queen in public. Hearing this, he was about to explode with anger, and roared, "That's Chao! If it were you, how could your brother be so indifferent! Even if he just left Yanzhou alone, how could he not go back to Huizhou to save you?!"
Yun Fenghuang laughed coldly: "You also know that it is your brother who would do this, not you? Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?! Or do you think that I, the queen, are just pretending, but I can’t help you?!”
Seeing Qi Jiuzhang about to speak, she closed her eyes and said solemnly, "You dare to be so rude, you are just relying on the old friendship between me and your brother! Look at me and see your brother's face, he will always be more tolerant to you. Points! Otherwise, who are you to dare to offend me like this!?"
"Trash, when your brother came to the Imperial Capital and your family threatened to support you to replace him, I told your brother that you were worthy of threatening his position as the eldest son?"
The queen raised her chin slightly, with a face full of disdain, "When you were a child, you got into trouble. Your aunt, Mrs. Chen, didn't like you concubines at first, but she always had to fight with you! It was your brother who tried to smooth things over for you every time. You were able to get away with it! After so many years, I thought, even a pig should have some skills and be put to some use, right? But you are still so incompetent! You are good at causing trouble! If you can get in the chaos You shot me dead and you concealed the news, so I respect you for some tricks!"
"The results of it?"
"The attempt to kill me failed, but instead accidentally injured the emperor!"
"Now, the people of the Empress Dowager have witnessed with their own eyes that the Qi family is in catastrophe. Do you have the nerve and qualifications to want to mess around with me?!"
Cold sweat finally broke out on Qi Jiuzhang's forehead, but he still pursed his lips and remained stubbornly silent.
Yun Fenghuang didn't say anything more, but pondered how to deal with this matter
To be honest, just based on what this bastard Qi Jiuzhang did, she didn't care at all that the other party was executed by the Nine Clan.
But Qi Jiulu...
The queen thought about it again and again, finally asking everyone to step back, and asked slowly: "Does your brother also hate me?"
"..." Qi Jiuzhang was silent for a while, then said firmly, "I don't know."
Seeing the queen raise her eyebrows, he sneered, "He became very sick after he returned, and then he was injured one after another... Later in the army, he made many military exploits and was seriously injured... In short, his vitality was repeatedly reduced, and he was depressed for many years. Who dared to mention you in front of him? We didn’t even dare to say anything to the Imperial Capital. That year when my legitimate nephew was born, he and I drank too much during the full-moon wine party. There was no one around late at night, so I had the courage to make some insinuations. In other words, he didn’t say anything, he just drank harder and couldn’t be persuaded to stop... The next day, he vomited blood due to excessive drinking, and had to ask a doctor to nurse him back to health for many days... "
"I was scolded by my father and couldn't get up for many days..."
"After that, no one mentioned it again."
"It's just that even if he doesn't hate you, there is no one in the two generations of my Qi family who doesn't hate you!"
"Really?" Yun Fenghuang didn't care and said calmly, "You will have to shirk your responsibility. Who told you to break off the engagement in the first place? I do feel that your brother is wronged. As for the rest of your family, each one counts, no one. You don’t deserve it!”
Qi Jiuzhang was speechless.
After a long while, he said sadly: "At that time, my father and uncles said that you were still young, and children are forgetful. It will be over in two years. Besides, Mr. Chao is also beautiful, intelligent and gentle. He may not be able to make his brother forget you. Who can You think about your brother but you still can’t forget him?”
If we had known that Qi Jiulu was so long-lasting in love, Qi might not have broken off the engagement back then.
They have few heirs, especially direct children.
As the only legitimate son and the eldest son of the family head, Qi Jiulu was so outstanding that the family really valued him.
He just underestimated his love for Yun Fenghuang.
"..." Yun Fenghuang also felt melancholy for these words for a while, and then said slowly, "I can't forget that he also married a wife and had concubines. In a few years, there will be more children, and they will always surround him. How could he have thought of so much? These two arrows of yours have truly destroyed the future of the Qi family!"
Qi Jiuzhang said nothing and lowered his head. It was hard to tell whether he regretted it, but he did not ask Yun Fenghuang. He was obviously still angry and dissatisfied.
Yun Fenghuang didn't care. She didn't care about Qi Jiuzhang's life or death at all. She only cared about Qi Jiulu.
So many years have passed, and as she said, it is difficult to remember those past events when surrounded by children.
It's just that after all, that person was once her when she was a teenager, and he treated her sincerely but was let down. Now that Yun Fenghuang thinks that he no longer has a sour attachment, she won't say that she will risk life and death for him, but within the scope of her ability, In the end, I can pull it off.
"Go back." Yun Fenghuang finally said, "Not many people know about this matter now. I will mediate between you and the Empress Dowager... As for the outcome, it depends on the good deeds of your Qi family ancestors. Tai Huang I can’t influence the Queen Mother’s wishes.”
Who would have thought that the person who everyone in the world thought should hate Chunjia the most actually loved Chunjia quite a lot and even cultivated and protected her over the years
Yun Fenghuang was really not sure of persuading her to let Qi go, or at least let Qi Jiulu go.
As for the other Qi family members, Yun Fenghuang doesn't care whether they love him or not.
Qi Jiuzhang did not move after hearing this. The queen frowned, and when he was about to get angry, he finally raised his head, his eyes were red, looked directly at the queen, and said in a deep voice: "Although I was impulsive, I don't regret taking action at that time! My brother and I have a deep relationship. Over the years, I have seen him marry, take concubines, and have children, but his life is boring. It is just the responsibility of being the eldest son of the Qi family that keeps him going day after day. Then The trip to the Imperial Capital in 2016 seemed to have drained away all his energy and spirit, and also drained away all his youthful spirit... I only regret not killing you on the spot! If you still remember the sincerity of your brother's treatment of you, can you tell me , why did you not go with him back then?"
"Are you still so determined that you have a deep love for you in these days and can give you the wealth and honor you have now?!"
