The assassination of Shengjia was no small matter, especially when Chunjia fell off the cliff and disappeared for many days. When the news of the fall came out, the whole palace was torn into pieces.
The regent took the lead in doubting the Ji family. After all, the emperor had been staying well in Wannian County before, surrounded by many imperial guards. If the Empress Dowager hadn't called him when he was sick, how could he have left the large army and traveled lightly? , so that the assassin took advantage of it
Ji, on the other hand, began to doubt the regent after the empress dowager forced herself to stand up and take a look. The reason is that Chunjia still has no children. In the palace, although the imperial concubine and Yuan Niang were both pregnant at the time, not to mention that the gender was not yet known, it was said that the country could not live without a king for a day. If the emperor was gone now, would it be possible for the government and the public to return to the throne? Will he watch the two concubines give birth before establishing a new king
Even if the ministers are willing, the baby is weak and will be gone if it moves its hands and feet. Wouldn't it still be an advantage to the regent and his son? !
The two sides were quarreling with each other, but they had to provide various conveniences in the search for Emperor Chunjia, so as not to be firmly accused of regicide by the other party.
In this way, after the emperor returns and takes a short rest, the first thing is of course to track down the assassin's behind-the-scenes instigator.
Regarding this point, whether the regent or the Ji family, regardless of whether they are guilty or not, they are always extremely supportive on the scene. These days, the concubines in the harem are still thinking about fighting, but the previous dynasty is full of turmoil, and the imperial city is full of searches and pursuits. , ransacked homes and tortured, not to mention how many innocent people were implicated and how many unjust, false and wrong cases were committed, we finally found clues and uncovered the culprit who dared to kill the king!
"Rebels?" The emperor has not been to the harem recently. By the time Yun Fenghuang and other concubines heard the news, it was already two days later and the imperial envoys had set off. She was licking melon seeds to see if she was going to laugh or not to see Chen Zhu who came to report, "How dare they It’s so big!”
Chen Zhu smiled apologetically and said: "We have rebelled, so how can we be less courageous? But let me tell you, the rebels have lost their minds now. Our Majesty is kind-hearted and generous. If you just can't survive and make a living in Sanzhou, Maybe there is still a chance to correct the evil and return to the right. With such a commotion happening now, what else can be said? Not only will the nine tribes be compensated, but even the ancestors will be humiliated and humiliated. It is really... the ancestors will be ashamed of themselves! "
Yun Fenghuang smiled nonchalantly. She felt that the culprit was probably the regent. The real culprit was probably the regent, but the emperor needed the regent now, so he could only endure this tone and use a random scapegoat to prevaricate.
Well, it’s not all prevarication
Otherwise, it would not be Du Langu who was appointed as the imperial envoy by the emperor and sent to the three states to quell the rebellion.
Yun Fenghuang estimated that Chunjia probably had other plans, but she didn't know much about it in the harem, and it was still impossible to judge what the emperor's plan was.
At this moment, my mind changed, and I asked about the current situation of Fangyin Pavilion: "Isn't Yue Jieyu not making trouble?"
The outcome of the previous series of turmoil in the palace finally fell on Concubine Xin. Oh, she is no longer Concubine Xin. Just like Yuan Niang before, she was directly demoted to Jieyu. She should be called Cui Jieyu.
Cui Jieyu's father, Cui Wan, even submitted a confession to the emperor, claiming that he had "failed to teach his daughter well".
Cui Wan must not be in a good mood since this piece of news has still been suppressed by the emperor.
As for Cui Jieyu, she didn't like to associate with the palace concubines very much. Since that day when she asked for self-imposed confinement but was actually found guilty, she has closed her door tightly and even her attendants have disappeared.
As for Yun Fenghuang and Yuan Zuiniang, they were scolded by the female officials sent by Empress Ji, and then they were fined for two months.
Of course, the emperor promised Yun Fenghuang to be promoted to the throne, but it seems that he has never mentioned it at all. There is no news so far.
During this period, the emperor had been worrying about government affairs in Xingxintang, which made Yun Fenghuang never have the chance to ask him face to face.
I thought that with Yuan Niang's temper, she would definitely not be able to tolerate such quarrels. When that person made a fuss, she might have another chance to do something.
As a result... Could it be that that person suddenly became smarter
Yun Fenghuang thought it was unlikely, probably because he lived with the Queen Mother Yuan and was suppressed by the Queen Mother Yuan.
I thought that Queen Mother Yuan was still ill and mentally weak. She could suppress Yuan Yuniang for a while, but she might not be able to suppress her niece forever. Maybe Mrs. Yuan has been acting like a demon again in the past two days
But Chen Zhu said that Yuan Yuniang had been very obedient in the Fangyin Pavilion these past two days, occasionally chatting with the Queen Mother and going for a walk. She looked calm and calm, and she didn't seem to be forcing herself to be patient. Instead, she was concentrating on having a baby and not caring about the outside world. There are ups and downs, but I have to wait until the child is born to talk about anything.
This news really makes Yun Fenghuang feel very sorry...
"Who is outside?" Just as he was thinking about what to do in this situation, he suddenly saw a palace man wandering at the door from the corner of his eye. Yun Fenghuang asked casually, and a moment later a little palace maid in a light green shirt timidly came in to salute and said : "Replying to your Majesty, my Yu Wan just suddenly felt a stomachache."
Although Yi Xingen is beautiful and pregnant, she is not a frivolous person who relies on pampering to give birth to a baby. When she said her stomach hurts, it must really hurt... Yun Fenghuang frowned: "Nonsense! How can such a big thing happen? Don’t you come in immediately?! If I hadn’t seen you, how long would you have delayed it!? If this hurts the emperor’s heir, can you afford it!”
He asked the left and right to drag the person down and slap him in the mouth to make him remember. Finally, he asked Chen Zhu, "Why don't you go and call the imperial doctor quickly?"
Chen Zhu did not dare to neglect and hurriedly brought the imperial doctor. At this time, Yun Fenghuang was already personally guarding Yi Xingen's bed. This Yu Wan was young after all. Her pregnancy had been fine so far, but now she was in pain. His face turned pale, big beads of sweat kept falling from his forehead, and he almost collapsed on the couch.
Yun Fenghuang tried to calm her down for a long time, but to no avail. When he was getting anxious, he excused himself when he saw the imperial doctor and asked him to quickly diagnose Yi Xingen.
"Yu Wan seems to have moved her fetus." The imperial doctor was worried when he saw this battle. After looking around and asking questions, he said with certainty, "May I ask if Yu Wan has ever been frightened before?"
"Scared?" Yun Fenghuang's face was not pretty to begin with, but after hearing this, his face became even more serious. He looked at the palace people who were waiting for Yi Xing'en, "What was Yu Wan doing just now?"
Several palace attendants looked panicked, looking at each other. Finally, they pushed a palace maid out and answered tremblingly, saying that Yi Xingen wanted to take a nap just now, so they sent everyone out. They went in listening to the sound of pain. Only then did I realize that Yu Wan was not well.
"What about you before you were sent out?" Yun Fenghuang asked patiently.
The palace maid almost cried: "Hui... Hui, everything was normal in Yuwan at that time, and the maids really didn't notice anything unusual."
Yun Fenghuang took a deep breath and asked Xile to go to the third floor to tidy up a room and settle down Yi Xing'en temporarily. Then he watched the imperial doctor prescribe a prescription, asked a lot of taboos, and sent him away. Then he sent Yi Xing'en to the house. All the people around En were taken to the back room for interrogation: "Yi Yuwan has always been in good health and has never had any discomfort since she was pregnant. How could she suddenly have fetal gas? These people must be playing tricks on her!"
This scene was actually what Yun Fenghuang had expected, because none of the previously pregnant concubines in the palace were quite ordinary. Even the noble concubine was unknowingly under the influence of Daoer, let alone Yi Xingen, a Yuwan
She was angry at the moment, partly because she was really angry that someone was doing something under her nose, and partly because she was doing it for everyone to see. Of course, she did not forget to report this matter to Xingxin Hall and Baose Villa where the Queen lived as usual.
Empress Ji quickly responded, and it was very satisfactory. She sent someone to bring some things as comfort, and sent a palace maid to visit. By the way, she reminded Yun Fenghuang to take good care of the pregnant palace people, and that the emperor's heir is more important than anything else. Yun Yun... On the emperor's side, Yun Fenghuang thought he would be similar to the queen, but in the evening, Chun Jia actually came over in person.
"Why did you have fetal motility?" The emperor hadn't been here for a few days. Yun Fenghuang looked at him and seemed to have lost some weight. He didn't know if it was because he had worked harder during this period, but his whole body did not appear weak, but showed signs of weakness. The meaning of being strong and powerful shows that holding great power is different.
She went up to meet him and felt happy when she heard this before she was called. She didn't care that the emperor saw that Yi Xing'en was more pregnant than she was. What she was most afraid of was Yi Xing'en, or Xuan. The palace servants in Qing Palace gave birth to ten or eight imperial heirs, but they were still not as good as Yuan Niang.
At this moment, she had no intention of being a monster and said truthfully: "I have already pulled down all the people serving Yi Yuwan for questioning, but that servant is very stubborn and no one has admitted it so far!"
"There are quite a few servants in the palace." The emperor frowned when he heard this and said, "If you really don't want to confess, just replace them."
"I think so too." Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly. She was also eager to be a concubine, and of course she would not keep a disobedient slave.
The emperor knew that although she was young, she was not incapable of being ruthless, so after saying this, he stopped talking and went to Yi Xingen's house.
Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang hurriedly ordered his subordinates to send some food over, but he was considerate and did not disturb him.
Since all the people serving Yi Xingen were taken away, the ones serving her now were Yun Fenghuang, who temporarily transferred Xile and Liu Hong.
When they were changing shifts, they came out and told Yun Fenghuang that Yi Xingen told the emperor that the fetal movement was purely because she had a nightmare while taking a nap. It was about her experience when she fled from Zhizhou, but it didn't concern the people around her. things.
"What do you mean by this? It seems as if the empress is deliberately targeting the people around her." Xile was suspicious, "Yi Yuwan is too worried! Isn't it for the safety of her and the emperor's heir that the empress has been busy for a long time?"
Yun Fenghuang didn't care and said, "What did your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty said that your Majesty has the final say on these trivial matters, so that Yi Yuwan can have a good pregnancy and have a good pregnancy." Well, after all, you are just a concubine, and His Majesty can clearly see those little thoughts."
"You also know that His Majesty knows it clearly, but why do you still care about it?" Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "But it's no wonder that Yi Yuwan said this now. She has been taken care of by these people since she entered the palace. I suspect that there is something wrong with her. For the sake of their mother's safety, she suddenly became depressed, so it's no wonder she felt uneasy."
Yi Xing'en was not worried about what would happen if she was the leader at this moment. After all, she was famously infertile as the leader, so she must take the pregnancy of the people in the palace very seriously.
What she is afraid of is that Yun Fenghuang will leave his mother and keep a child - this is not difficult for the head of the first palace, not to mention that now that he has dismissed all the people around him, and then replaces him, it may all be Yun Fenghuang. of manpower.
Although it would be safe during pregnancy, when the time came to give birth, wouldn't her life and death be in Yun Fenghuang's hands
Yun Fenghuang understood her worries and didn't care about the suspicion, so he only asked Xile: "Just wait and see. She is the only one in this palace who is happy now, so why don't you be more careful? As for what she said to His Majesty, it's about It’s useless, and besides, since she has such thoughts, she must know what to do next.”
Yi Xing'en did know what to do, because she kept the emperor until night while talking about other things, so she recommended that the emperor spend the night at Yun Qingman's place.
According to the tacit agreement, pregnant concubines cannot stay with the emperor, and letting Yun Qingman sleep with the emperor is exactly Yun Fenghuang's recent plan. For Yi Xingen herself, if she is the only one in the Xuanqing Palace who can give birth to children for the lord, it may be a thorn in the flesh, but if several concubines in the Xuanqing Palace can give birth to children for the lord, then everyone will have no idea about the future. When children are raised under the leadership of the master, it is not because they are reluctant to part with them, but because they are afraid that their attitude is not correct enough and will drag down their own flesh and blood.
At that time, does the leader still need to worry about whether the child will be close to him while his mother is still alive
It's the child and the child's mother who should be worried about whether they can fall into the eyes of the lord.
"She is sensible, and I will not be stingy." Yun Fenghuang told Xile with a smile, "When I go back to replace the palace servants, let Yi Yuwan choose her own attendants."
Although the list for Yi Xingen to choose from must have been selected, this is at least an implicit comforting attitude, which can make Yi Yuwan breathe a sigh of relief.
