"..." Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Do you... have anything else to say?"
Yun Fenghuang said sarcastically: "This, the death of Concubine Shu?"
She told the story of how Concubine Zheng saw through her plan to plan the Yiguo Duke's palace, and how she came to make an alliance at night, "... I didn't expect Concubine Shu to be so decisive. She ended it as soon as she said it. I thought she could only do it." How it looks."
Jiang's face was expressionless: "Is there any more?"
"Also, I originally wanted to trick Yuan Yuniang, but the result was inexplicable. In the end, it was Concubine Xin who took the lead." Yun Fenghuang tried hard to recall, "Also, before, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Duke of Yi State and their aunt came into the palace, and I and them Show your cards?"
Jiang took a deep breath again and asked in a trembling voice, "What else? Is there anything else you haven't said yet?"
"... It should be gone?" Yun Fenghuang hesitated.
Seeing this, Jiang raised his voice and said, "Be honest!"
She was so frightened that she trembled and asked timidly: "Qi Jiulu cooperated with the queen in order to take me far away... Does that count?"
Is it okay to have another daughter at my age
Jiang was helpless to complain: "You... Since Concubine Shu didn't commit suicide yourself, what did you do to admit it to the Duke of Yi?! You used to compete with your sister for favor, and you had so many tricks to pretend to be pitiful with me? How can you really meet the need to pretend? When it happens, it’s like losing your brain temporarily!”
"Even if I explain that I didn't know that Concubine Shu would commit suicide, no one would believe it!" Yun Fenghuang said aggrievedly, "Besides, the Yiguo Duke's Palace has caused me such misery, and I can't do anything to them at the moment. Just say a few words. It’s okay to explain away the hatred with words.”
"You also know that there is nothing you can do against them right now?!" Jiang wanted to beat her to death, "The Yiguo Palace is His Majesty's people, and you are His Majesty's people now too - now you act like 'that's right, your family Are you afraid that I will kill my legitimate daughter? In the future, the Yun family will come to His Majesty to cry and avenge Concubine Shu, and they don’t need to find evidence!"
"You can't bear it, act weak and innocent, deny that Concubine Shu's death has anything to do with you, and then go to the Queen Mother and cry and have a scene of sisterly love, which will spread throughout the palace and outside the palace. That kind of thing. No matter what people in the know think, in front of others, you have done your best to show that you and Concubine Shu are a family."
"The Yun family wants to settle accounts with you later, but it's hard to open the door without any evidence!"
She looked at the worried little ancestor with angry eyes, "Besides, the crime of Concubine Shu's death fell on you. In the future, if Yun Ronghua has his own shortcomings, who will not be suspicious of you? Do you still want to raise the Yun family? An heir born from a concubine? I advise you to send that Yun Ronghua away quickly, otherwise if the child she gives birth to in the future is a lucky one, it will be fine. If it is a weak and sick child, you will raise it as an ancestor. Once the child cannot survive on his own No more, the Yun family can bite you to death for plotting to murder the emperor's heir, and killing innocent children because of personal grudges, do you believe it or not!"
Jiang said this in one breath, and said in a deep voice, "The crime of Concubine Shu's death must not be placed on you. Moreover, I think your previous suspicions are very reasonable. After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of the country, a genuine one." One of the four concubines, even though she was worried that she had fallen into a trap and would implicate her natal family, she did not even say a word to her natal family, and chose to commit suicide based on just a few words that her enemy asked her sister to turn around?! You are really stupid, You never met Concubine Shu from the beginning to the end of this matter, and after she died, you didn’t figure it out, so you just acquiesced?!"
"...That's not it. I was in a bad mood at that time." Yun Fenghuang's eyes wandered and he muttered, "Are you too lazy to argue?"
Jiang knew full well that her daughter's mentality had collapsed since she knew she was going to enter the palace. She planned to die anytime and anywhere. Naturally, she only wanted to be happy and did not consider the long term.
She deeply regretted sending the person to the Imperial Capital in the first place - but now that it was like this, no matter how upset she was, it would not help.
After quickly sorting out his thoughts, Jiang said slowly: "That's it, it's done. Don't think too much about it. If you find an opportunity to mention this matter again in the future, you must get yourself out before Yun makes trouble."
"Yunshi has been upset for a long time, and Yun Qike wants to kill me to avenge his sister!" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "It's simply ridiculous. It's obvious that he hurt me because he missed me..."
After hearing her narration, Jiang wanted to hit someone again: "You just gave me a sentence or two to explain such an important matter?!"
But now is not the time to beat and scold this little ancestor. She suppressed her anger and said, "But this is just right: listen, Concubine Shu's death has nothing to do with you! It's just that you don't want your Majesty to control the people in Jiyu Nei. I did it! That’s why I murdered Concubine Shu to frame you, and then lured Yun Qike to take advantage of the opportunity of you accompanying me on a hunting trip to kill you for revenge, thus using Duke Yi’s Mansion to destroy His Majesty’s arrangements for you... In short, you and Duke Yi The whole government is a victim!”
Then he reminded her, "As for the reason why you entered the palace, it was Yun Ronghua's talkativeness. It's just that Yun Ronghua had a higher status than you before entering the palace. What's most important to you is opportunities and methods. Why do you have to rely on your sister-in-law? Maybe it's Yi Guo. The public administration was not strict and someone took advantage of Yun Ronghua!"
Jiang didn't care whether the truth was like this or not. What she wanted was a decent argument to change her daughter's situation.
"Then the grudge between me and the Yun family is over?!" Yun Fenghuang frowned.
Jiang Shi said patiently: "Who said it's over? But how can you turn the conflict into friendship with the name of forcing someone's legitimate daughter to death? If you don't turn the conflict into friendship, how can you let Your Majesty and the Queen Mother Yuan regard you as one of your own? As the Queen Mother of Yuan Yuan, Mother Yuan My niece, who grew up with His Majesty, got off to such a good start and ended up like this. It’s only a matter of time before she’s abandoned. Why? Isn’t it just that she can’t be a good Jie Yuhua and she’s trying to hold her back?”
"Think about it for yourself. If you were Your Majesty, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty would have their own agenda, and they would rely on Duke Yi to support you. The concubine in your harem has a life-and-death feud with Duke Yi. What would you do with such a concubine? How to deal with it?"
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that of course he would kill him. After all, how could the right-hand minister be compared to a concubine
She actually understood what Jiang was saying was right. She had left home at the age of twelve and had never seen her mother before. She felt so sad and wronged that she couldn't help but be extra willful: "That has to be agreed by the Duke of Yiguo, otherwise we can't lower ourselves no matter what." , if they don’t cooperate, doesn’t His Majesty value them more?”
"Gong Yi Guo will definitely agree." Jiang said calmly, "You just need to explain to him that you did not directly force Concubine Shu to die, but you just said some specious words to make Concubine Shu feel uncomfortable after hearing it. You He can understand the childishness of this age - when Concubine Shu was murdered by Yue Jieyu when she was pregnant, he had endured it, and he didn't seem to have done anything to Yue Jieyu and the Yuan family in recent years. It can be seen that this person is either a grown-up Treachery is like loyalty, and the city is deep."
"Either he is a pure loyal minister, willing to sacrifice his life and blood for His Majesty."
"Knowing that you are useful to His Majesty, I am still hostile to you and ignore your offer of reconciliation... Is this an act of compassion for His Majesty?"
After a pause, he remembered and asked, "By the way, does Duke Yi Guo know about Yun Qike's plot to kill you?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "How can they, the direct biological father and son, not know about such a big thing? Young Yun Qike must not expect his father to deal with the aftermath!"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Mrs. Jiang sneered, "It's not like there's no one in the Yiguo Duke's Mansion. Why does the Crown Prince need to do something like this himself? If I were the mistress of the Yiguo Duke's Mansion, I would definitely stop him. He is his own son. Otherwise, how can he excuse his child if everything goes wrong? I think he probably did it without telling Duke Yi and his wife... You said he was taken away by the queen at that time?"
He sighed and said that Yun Fenghuang and Qi Jiulu were stupid, "The queen didn't touch Mrs. Yaoning at all later, right? That's right, she was just thinking about the Ji family. Your Majesty's most loyal son, Duke Yi Guo, is so With such a big deal in her hands, why would she take any risk? Asking Duke Yi directly for a favor is easy and simple, and there will be no further trouble."
And if she had been present, she would have definitely asked Yun Fenghuang to send him to Duke Yi's Mansion to get the favor.
He even used this to settle the matter of Concubine Shu.
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that it was no wonder that although Chunban Villa burned down, Gu Zhen only injured his leg when evacuating the fire scene, and the Duke Yi's mansion was also calm.
This was probably what Jiang had guessed. Qi Jiulu wanted to cheat the Queen, but the Queen didn't trust him, so she gave up on him.
only…
At the beginning, Gong Xiangxiao had sworn that the queen would not give up the plan midway, but they didn't know what happened.
"It's a pity that the Queen took such an opportunity." Jiang thought for a while and said, "That's all, later you can go to Queen Mother Yuan to apologize, and tell the truth: Because of your sister, I still There is something unexpected about entering the palace, which makes you not want to live at all, so you broke the pot and broke the rules without any rules! Now that my mother is here, the two of us hold our heads and cry, thinking that I am your daughter You couldn't bear it, so you suddenly woke up and decided to change your mind and live a good life from now on."
She breathed out, "I cried more miserably during this period. You can polish your words a little to gain sympathy as much as possible, but don't change the key points. Once the Queen Mother and her son turned around after dormant for these years, even the Ji family didn't dare to show off their talents. You Don’t imagine that with our little wealth, we can deceive them.”
"Otherwise, even if you convince the Queen Mother now, if you look back and discover that you lied, the pity that was so easily obtained will inevitably turn into hatred, but you will shoot yourself in the foot."
Looking at her daughter with her head drooping, she still felt uneasy and warned, "You can go with ease! Queen Mother... This Queen Mother Yuan, if nothing else, is definitely a good mother as a mother. Looking at her experience, over the years, They are all dependent on His Majesty, so they must have a lot of emotions about the bond between mother and son."
"You start with our mother and daughter's relationship and experience. If you are sincere, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to touch her!"
"In this way, for public purposes, we are still useful to Your Majesty; for private purposes, my mother's intention to persuade you today is just like the Queen Mother's intention to encourage Your Majesty over the years. The Queen Mother does not say that she will eliminate her prejudice against you from now on, but she will definitely give you It’s a chance to see the effects, do you understand?”
Yun Fenghuang said "Oh" and asked without much interest: "What about Yun Qike..."
"Rong Hua is the only one in the Yun family who was born as a concubine. What use can it be?" Jiang said with a snort, "I'll tell you this for my mother. Anyway, I would have to thank Guo Yi later." The Duke's Mansion helped deliver the message."
"I haven't had much contact with Duke Yi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Duke Yi's mansion." Yun Fenghuang reminded, "They are not good things! Otherwise, Yun Qingman wouldn't have harmed me just because of a word from him. Look like this! Mom, if you want to deal with them, be careful!"
Jiang laughed: "There is nothing in this world that I should be careful about more than you sisters. No matter how difficult others are, what does it matter?"
Yun Fenghuang immediately looked at the sky and the ground and stopped talking.
"Let's stop talking about this this time. Today is not the right day for the concubine's family to visit the palace. I'm afraid it won't be good if I stay for a long time. Besides, I have to go back and think about what you bastard did. ." Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang said nothing more, stood up, and only told her, "If you can talk to her, call me again in two days."
"I should have something to tell you by then... Anyway, for now, you go and apologize first, and I will take care of the rest for you. Do you remember what I just said?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang nodding her head, her expression wilting, finger marks on her skin, she felt distressed, so he stepped forward and touched her cheek, asking softly, "Does it still hurt?"
"Of course it hurts!" Yun Fenghuang raised his head aggrievedly, "Mom, you are too harsh!"
As a result, Jiang narrowed his eyes and said softly: "It's good to know that it hurts. It's best if you never forget it in your life. I wonder if you will dare to do something like this that hurts relatives and makes enemies happy? Hmm. ?”
"..." Yun Fenghuang, who was still trying to pretend to be pitiful and deceive some benefits, trembled, and immediately said obediently, "I don't dare anymore. I will never dare again in the future!"
