Nian Xuan didn't understand what he meant, but she still followed Yun Fenghuang's instructions.
But he came back not long after, saying that the queen had said that if you feel uncomfortable, you should go to the imperial doctor immediately and don't delay your health. The queen was too tired in the past two days and would not come here.
Considering the status gap between Queen Ji and Yun Fenghuang, there is no problem in saying so, especially when she had already visited Yun Fenghuang in person when he woke up. Now Yunfenghuang can walk, eat and sleep. , she really does not need to listen to the wind and rain and be there in person - that would make her a queen worthless.
Nian Xuan worriedly said, "How about we go to the imperial doctor ourselves?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang glanced at her tiredly, "I'm fine, you... just go down first and leave me alone for a while."
She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep that night. She climbed up and sat up several times, wanting to go out to find Gong Xiangxiao and ask Qi Jiulu face to face why he left
Did the Prince Regent intend to silence him, or did he have other agendas
If it is a mission, what is its content
Will it be detrimental to Qi Jiulu
Will there be any danger
It seemed like I was back on my way to the Imperial Capital in the wind and snow that year. After I drove this person away from Peacock Slope, it was hard to get in for two days. Even though I tried my best to endure it, my tears basically never stopped.
I thought in my heart that I shouldn’t cry, I shouldn’t cry, I shouldn’t cry, but unknowingly it soaked into my whole face—Nianxuan comforted me all the way and persuaded me all the way, and then she also cried and said, Miss, why don’t we go back? Go back to find Mr. Qi. Anyway, we are on the road now, and the master and his wife are not here. By then, everything is done. What will happen to the family
Even if she was kicked out of the house, no one else would tell her, Jiang would never see her daughter in poverty without secretly taking care of her. I went to the imperial capital to join my aunt's family, and I also stayed under someone else's roof. Maybe living with Qi Jiulu would be more comfortable than going to a relative's house with whom you have never gotten along
Yun Fenghuang bit his lip until it bled. The taste of blood was on the tip of his tongue, so he couldn't hold back from saying "good".
At this moment, she also pinched her arm until it was bruised, and then she suppressed the impulse.
But the difference from three years ago was that even though he was determined to drive away Qi Jiulu that time, he knew that there was no danger for him to go back to the Qi family. At most, he would catch a cold due to his thin clothes.
The Qi family had only a few descendants in these two generations. No matter how angry and resentful the eldest son was for being disobedient, it was impossible to care whether he lived or died.
And this time... This time she didn't even know where he was going, let alone whether it was bad or good luck
She tried hard to convince herself that Qi Jiulu had already set off, and it was too late for her to catch up now. Moreover, in front of everyone, the emperor has returned, and the dignified concubine chases a foreign minister. Isn't this going to cost Qi Jiulu his life
Furthermore, the Prince Regent's Palace may not lack Qi Jiulu, but Gong Xiangxiao is very much in need of Qi Jiulu's assistance. No matter how shaken the position of the prince is, he is still the prince to this day. He is determined to protect Qi Jiulu, and his hope is still very high... Besides, The regent also had to consider Qi's thoughts.
Such a local snake who is so focused on his place is nothing away from Sangzi, but in Sangzi, he is really worthy of even the imperial court.
Not to mention the relationship between the Regent and the Dingbei Army, it would definitely not be a good thing if he lost the hearts of the people in the North.
Therefore, Qi Jiulu's departure may not necessarily be dangerous.
To put it another way, even if his trip does not go well, Yun Fenghuang should remain calm. Otherwise, can he expect the Qi family far away in the north to avenge their eldest son
However, her rationality was such that she thought silently in her heart that she actually regretted it.
If she were asked to return to the stone chamber now, knowing the torment she was going through at this moment, she would follow Qi Jiulu at all costs - but when she was so regretful, another voice told her that she would not do it.
She only thought so at this moment because she was worried about Qi Jiulu. In fact, she would still refuse when she actually returned to the stone room.
Even when she was in the stone room, she didn't think about this moment, but she still rejected him.
Just like a bad gambler, no matter how much he swears to quit gambling or cuts off his fingers and hands to show his determination, he finally sits back at the gambling table with the thought of "I can win."
Even if the loser's wife and children are separated and the family is in despair, the crying confession at this time... is just a confession.
If you can't quit, you won't be able to quit in this life.
Like Yun Fenghuang's choice, after human nature matures, it is hard to change old habits, and it will never be easy. From this, sometimes when I think back, I always feel that the misfortunes and blessings in life are often already doomed.
She couldn't sleep all night and looked very bad when she woke up the next day.
When he went to the queen's tent to ask for greetings, the emperor and the queen couldn't help but ask questions when they saw him.
Yun Fenghuang acted as if nothing had happened, saying that he was not used to living in tents.
"Fortunately, we will go back to the palace today." The emperor said with a smile, "otherwise my beloved concubine would be in trouble."
Everything went smoothly on the way back. The only twist was probably that Gu Zhen and Yun Fenghuang bumped into each other when they were boarding the car. They gave each other several looks, which made the emperor and empress very helpless.
Yun Fenghuang paid special attention to Gu Zhen's injuries. His left foot was indeed wrapped. However, this general's daughter-in-law was stronger than ordinary concubines, but she still refused to be carried, and only held the maid's hand to help her limp. Even if I walk with a limp, I don't care that my appearance is not graceful enough.
Of course, Chunjia was not so scumbag that she felt embarrassed and walked away. Instead, she stepped forward to help her, gave her gentle instructions, and even lowered the car curtain for her with her own hands.
The carriage that Yun Fenghuang was riding was right behind Gu Zhen. After she got into the carriage, she did not take off the curtain immediately, so she rolled up the carriage curtain halfway and leaned on the carriage while enjoying the mountain breeze with her eyes closed to relax. Just as he was downwind, he heard Gu Zhen whispering to the emperor in reply. His tone was a bit softer than usual, and he seemed to be acting coquettishly.
The emperor chuckled and agreed very gently - which made Yun Fenghuang curl his lips.
If she hadn't been concerned about Qi Jiulu's affairs, she would have definitely intervened and made Gu Zhen uncomfortable.
Quan should accumulate blessings for Ah Lu.
Yun Fenghuang thought so in his heart, and asked Nianxuan to lower the curtain, pretending that he didn't see or hear what happened just now.
This move made both the emperor and the queen secretly relieved...
Due to the need to take care of the two newly frightened and injured concubines, the return to the palace was very slow.
Yun Fenghuang slept for a while in the carriage, feeling a little restless and looking for a reason to anger Gu Zhen. Finally, the palace gate appeared in front of him.
At this time, it was already the time to hold the lamp. Because Concubine Shu died, the concubine was in confinement, and Concubine Xin was demoted, only Yuan Yuniang took the lead to guard the place where she got off the car. The Empress Dowager and the three empress dowagers also sent them away. People close to the palace came to greet him to express their concern and concern for the emperor.
After some greetings and greetings, the emperor asked Wei Hengyan and Lu Qidao to send Yun Fenghuang and Gu Zhen back to their respective residences to rest, while they took Yuan Fu Niang to Zhu Xueyuan to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the others.
Wei Hengyan responded very politely in front of the empress. After waiting for the two of them, he took Yun Fenghuan and chatted with him, asking for the details of the hunting trip. He patted his chest with a frightened look on his face: "I heard that we were leaving. We were all shocked when we hit the water! Luckily you were okay!"
Yun Fenghuang had something on his mind now, so he chatted with her impatiently, and said a few words of fear. When he arrived at Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, he excused himself from being too frightened and needed a rest, and dismissed Wei Heng, who originally wanted to stay for a long chat. Smoke out.
"God bless you, my queen is back safely!" Wei Hengyan left reluctantly, and Yun Fenghuang asked someone to close the door to check whether his three-thirds of an acre of land was still stable these days.
Seeing her expression, a group of people in the palace were trembling with fear and did not dare to show the slightest hint of disengagement.
Yun Fenghuang stared at Yun Qingman, who came to greet him for a moment, and then he calmly ordered them to sit down on the embroidered stool below, stroking the tea bowl and asking about their current situation.
Yi Xingen and other concubines from a humble family looked at Yun Qingman. Yun Qingman was stunned for a moment before leaning forward and saying, "Everything in the pavilion has been as usual during the past few days when the queen is not here. Only occasionally the concubines come to visit. , so I entertained her a little bit, but I didn’t dare to disturb other ladies.”
Does this mean that all the concubines who come to visit us have a title of honor
It can also be understood that they came here to test on the order of the master
Yun Fenghuang snorted and said: "I will tell Nianxuan later which of the palaces came to visit. As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come and not reciprocate. I was not here before, and you didn't even know about any of my contacts. Now that I'm back, I must make up for this etiquette for you. Otherwise, people will think that our Huanqing Palace doesn't understand the rules."
Yun Qingman responded quickly.
Seeing that the other concubines didn't say anything, I guess that's all that was going on on the surface. Yun Fenghuang said some nice words for free, leaving Yi Xing'en behind, and let the others go.
Naturally, she kept Yi Xing'en in order to care about the concubine's pregnancy. She asked carefully about what she should eat, drink, use, and if she had any discomfort in the past few days. She paid close attention to everything, which made Yi Xing'en even more worried. He was very cautious, and in the end even showed some fear.
"Don't think too much about it." Yun Fenghuang didn't pay attention at first, but later he heard Yi Xingen's cautious and tactful expression that the imperial doctor said when he took pulse last time that he couldn't tell whether he was pregnant or not, and then he understood and said slightly, "His Majesty is still empty at the knees. , regardless of whether they are princes or princesses, as long as they are born, they are of the blood of the Tian family, and they are noble and noble! But you also know the concubines who were pregnant before in this palace. What status and blessings are there, something went wrong... I am just trying my best. I do my best, I hope you can be in peace and produce heirs for His Majesty."
She really didn't care whether Yi Xingen's baby was a boy or a girl.
Anyway, Chunjia has nothing to do so far, and it is impossible for her to dislike even a princess - even if she dislikes her, will she still be resentful of someone who is not her biological child
It's just that she is worried that Concubine Zheng's Tao'er will happen again to Yi Xing'en, so she is extra cautious.
At this moment, I saw that the concubine had a misunderstanding and it was hard to explain. I was afraid that it would be bad for the fetus if she was too nervous, so I just comforted her and let her go.
The concubines were no longer around, so it was time for someone to come up and talk.
The person Yun Fenghuang relied on most during this period was of course Xile, followed by Chen Zhu. Now that Xile was still with the emperor, Chen Zhu came up and expressed his loyalty with tears and complaints, and lamented that Xile was poor and could not continue to serve Yun Fenghuang... This time it was over. Chen Zhucai whispered about the situation in the palace these days.
It was similar to what Yun Qingman said, very calm.
This was not only because the emperor, who was the center of concubines in the harem, was not around, but also because of the recent turmoil. The imperial concubine was lying on the bed, the concubine Shu died, and the concubine Xin was demoted. The few high-ranking concubines in the palace were in decline.
Mrs. Yaoning and Yun Fenghuang were also accompanying him, leaving Yuan, Lu, Jia, Wei, Si Jieyu, and a group of concubines who had no family background to pamper and no special pampering, how could they make trouble
Oh, Mother Yuan is quite capable of causing trouble, but she was detained by the Empress Dowager Yuan and couldn't even leave the front door. She wanted to cause trouble, but she was powerless.
Therefore, although there have been a few concubines coming around in the past few days, they were just bored and chatting about home affairs. In Chen Zhu’s opinion, he did not find any ulterior motives: "I heard from the people below that they all followed us when they were working as prostitutes. Those in the palace were friends with each other. But they were later assigned to other palaces, so they came here to talk."
Yun Fenghuang said "Yes" and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Zhu hurriedly said that he should do such things.
While the master and servant were talking, someone from the palace came to report that the reward was coming from the Empress Dowager and the three empress dowagers. The reason for the reward was of course to appease Yun Fenghuang for the loss and shock he suffered in the fire - Yun Young Master Feng Huang couldn't help but accepted it with tears of gratitude, and even pretended to go to Zhu Xueyuan to express his gratitude.
The attendants who were ordered to come quickly tried to dissuade them, saying that the Empress Dowager had said that Mrs. Yaoning and Mao Jieyu had suffered a lot this time, so they should not bother with it. It was proper to collect things so that they could have a good life.
"The Empress Dowager said this out of sympathy for me and sister Yaoning." Yun Fenghuang felt disgusted in his heart, but said sincerely, "It's just that sister Yaoning injured her foot and has difficulty moving, but there is nothing wrong with me. , how can you be negligent?"
She was just pretending to say this, but the person she heard explained with a smile: "My Majesty's wishes, I will tell the truth to the Empress Dowager when I get back. But it's probably inconvenient for your Majesty to go to Zhuxueyuan at the moment... The Regent just took the The Crown Prince asked to see the Empress Dowager to plead guilty, and now the Queen Mother is keeping the food for him, and is using it. Although the prince and the Crown Prince are both clan relatives, the maid heard something when she came over, and they were talking about the late emperor, this... "
This atmosphere is not suitable for being disturbed!
Yun Fenghuang heard her subtext, but narrowed his eyes slightly: She was worried about not being able to find out why Qi Jiulu left early. Even if there was some risk at this moment, how could she miss it? !
"Find someone smart and go to Zhu Xueyuan and keep an eye on it." Yun Fenghuang dismissed the Empress Dowager's attendants and called Chen Zhu to him to tell him, "Keep an eye on the Regent and his son. Whenever they have If you want to resign, come and report it immediately!"
She also ordered Nianxuan to take care of her dressing up, and choose the dignified and generous one that the elders liked. After all, she was not going out to "encounter" Gong Xiangxiao, but because she was flattered by the Empress Dowager's generous gift and felt that she would not go out. Sorry to thank you personally, right
