"Mr. Liang was fine just now, why not?" Yun Fenghuang frowned and sat up. Qingdu quickly took a cloak and put it on her, and whispered: "It's not clear yet. Chen Zhu went out to inquire. It’s... right now I know that Mr. Liang died from a collapse of blood.”
Yun Fenghuang said suspiciously: "Hemorrhagic collapse... It is true that there are not a few mothers who died here. However, when I left Jiangwuyuan, I was still fine, and I didn't hear of this sign. How come it has only been more than two hours? Isn’t it good?”
"My maid also thinks that Concubine Xuan wants to keep her son?" Qingdu whispered, "This is too jealous. The Liang family has always been docile, and the child she gave birth to was only a princess, and she could not threaten Concubine Xuan. , this can’t be tolerated…”
"Even if she really can't tolerate it, His Majesty won't say anything." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while and said calmly, "After all, my father, brothers, uncles are all working for Your Majesty, and the life and death of a mere Liang family doesn't matter. What?"
Qingdu pursed her lips. She was not simply complaining about Liang, but she felt that Liang had gone out of the Huanqing Palace. Even if Concubine Xuan paid the price, the original price negotiation was mainly for the emperor's heir.
As a result, the emperor's heir was born, but the Liang family died, and the death was quite suspicious... In the eyes of Qingdu, this was a sign that Concubine Xuan did not give face to Concubine Xian.
Knowing that Mrs. Liang was once the wife of Concubine Xian, she specially invited Concubine Xian to take charge during the birth. However, Concubine Xian was poisoned as soon as Concubine Xian left, so she didn't take Concubine Xian seriously!
At this moment, after listening to Yun Fenghuang's words, he fell silent.
You can't let Yun Fenghuang get into trouble with Chun Jia just because of the Liang family, right
"But everyone knows that Liang is from me." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said slowly, "She died in Jiangwuyuan. If I don't do anything, it will make people think that I It’s no use... When the time comes when my sister marries the Luo family, I’m afraid life won’t be easy either.”
"It's too late today, let's just settle down and wait until tomorrow when the Imperial Palace goes to find Concubine Xuan for discussion."
At this moment, Concubine Xuan summoned a concubine to serve Chunjia with a forced smile, and went to the hall to deal with Liang's funeral affairs: "For the sake of her giving birth to a daughter for me, I will take it from my private treasury." Just pay her and ask someone to find a place for her to be buried near mountains and rivers."
They were busy saying that the empress was compassionate.
Although Liang had a daughter, she was from a humble background and had a low status. If she didn't have the authority to speak out, she would basically drag out a thin coffin and end the matter hastily.
"Didn't you say that she was spared her life?" However, Concubine Xuan was not in the mood to listen to their flattery at the moment. She sent a few people to take care of the Liang family, then pulled a few attendants down and asked in a low voice, "Why is she still dead?"
She had indeed made preparations to leave the mother and keep the son, but that was only the case when Liang gave birth to a prince.
Because Liang gave birth to a princess, Concubine Xuan thought there was no need to dirty her hands.
So she was quite surprised when she just received the news that Mr. Liang was gone.
The attendants did not dare to say anything and all looked at wet nurse Yin Shi. Yin Shi explained: "I have prepared medicine for hemorrhage in advance. I didn't plan to put it in since I didn't need it. But there was a little palace maid who was clumsy and listened to her screams. She went to dispose of the medicine, but somehow, some of it got into Liang's diet by mistake, and the result was... "
"Is it clumsy or intentional?!" Concubine Xuan asked angrily, "Why do you let her touch the medicine with such a thing?! What if one day you make a mistake in my food?"
Yin Shi quickly comforted her, saying that of course Concubine Xuan's food would not be exposed to such people: "It's really an accident. Moreover, the emperor's heir has already been born, so if the Liang family is gone, it will be gone. She is also unlucky, and the empress plans to Although she was spared her life, she still encountered such a thing, which shows that she was not born with a blessed life."
In fact, Concubine Xuan suspected that the so-called manslaughter was what the Yin family meant.
Because the Yin family had been persuading her to leave the mother to keep the child, not because she was afraid that the birth mother's life would affect the relationship between the adoptive mother and the emperor's heir, but because the Liang family came from the Xuanqing Palace.
Yun Fenghuang, the head of Xuanqing Palace, was famous for being domineering and domineering, but he was also recognized as being kind to his subordinates.
Who knows if Mrs. Liang is thinking about the former chief
Or maybe she was assigned a mission by Yun Fenghuang before she was placed under Concubine Xuan
Keeping such a person alive may be a nail planted by Xuanqing Palace in Yanlan Palace - it would be better to kill the person while the child is in labor and be done with it.
It's just that Concubine Xuan felt that Liang was from a humble background and was not favored, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Killing her specifically made him look like he was afraid of Yun Fenghuang.
The result of the discussion between the master and the servant was that each of them took a step back. Liang would die if she gave birth to the prince, and live if she gave birth to the prince... Now that she gave birth to the prince, she still died.
Concubine Xuan felt that it was probably Yin who suggested it.
Otherwise, where would such a coincidence come from
However, everyone is dead. No matter how unhappy Concubine Xuan is, she can't blame her confidants for Liang's sake.
His face was gloomy for a moment, and he finally hummed: "Forget it, you can handle this matter yourself and make sure to clean it up before dawn. A pair of children were born in Xiao Yun's palace, and the biological mother is still alive and well. We just got a royal daughter here in the palace, but the biological mother is gone, and the news has spread, and those who don’t know, don’t know how to arrange this palace!”
"Don't worry, Madam. There are too many women who have given birth these days." Ms. Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Ms. Liang's own life is not good, how can she blame the Madam? If it wasn't for the Madam's protection, maybe Even the princess can’t be saved.”
She lowered her voice and said to Concubine Xuan, "It is enough that the maids can handle such a small matter. Why does the empress need to arrange for other people to attend the bed and come out in person? Ever since Yin Zhaoyi started it, now everyone in the palace is thinking of ways to get your majesty to go." . Your Majesty will be here with us tonight, and tomorrow someone may give you a reason to ask you to leave."
When will Concubine Xuan become pregnant with the emperor's heir
"... Mrs. Liang just gave birth to a daughter for me, and she is gone. I still have the heart to serve your majesty. It seems too cold." Concubine Xuan sighed. She aimed to be the queen, so for herself I can't help but care about her reputation, "The princess is still young anyway, so it's impossible for Your Majesty to just ignore her after seeing her this time, right?"
She felt that she was extremely benevolent to Mrs. Liang, and she did not want the death of this palace concubine. In order to deal with Mrs. Liang's funeral, she even delegated the bedchamber to her subordinates - so when Yun Fenghuang came to ask about Liang's death the next day, , she was very angry: "Why do you think that I can't even tolerate a concubine?!"
The Yin family next to her helped: "Yesterday, our empress had already served His Majesty into the inner chamber. When he heard the news, he came out quickly. Even the attendants in the bedchamber were replaced by Wang Cairen... That is the biological mother of the second emperor's daughter. , how can our queen not care? Please look at our queen’s face, she has not slept well all night, she is busy with Liang’s funeral!”
"Really?" Yun Fenghuang chuckled, "I thought that Concubine Xuan had something on her mind, so she couldn't sleep all night."
Doesn't this mean that Concubine Xuan has a guilty conscience
Concubine Xuan was angry: "Even if I have a high position, I can't spit out blood like this?! What have I done that makes me unable to sleep all night?! Please tell me clearly!"
Yun Fenghuang said leisurely: "It's not like you were so frightened by Mrs. Liang's birth yesterday that Mrs. Liang was gone and a good person was walking next to your house. You didn't feel well. Afraid? Is this what I said wrong? "
Concubine Xuan suppressed her anger: "As long as your Majesty speaks, it always makes sense. Even if it doesn't make sense at first, it will make sense after My Majesty says it."
"That's all, everyone is gone. There's no point in saying anything right now." Yun Fenghuang ignored her sarcasm, sighed softly, and asked about Liang's funeral.
Concubine Xuan told her reluctantly. After hearing this, Yun Fenghuang asked a few more details and felt quite satisfied. Then she stood up and left. She left Jiangwuyuan, but did not return to Jieyue Xiaozhu. Went to Xingxin Hall to find Chunjia.
"Your Majesty, it is so pitiful that the second princess lost her mother just after she was born." Yun Fenghuang saw the emperor and after bowing, he said with a sad face, "Yesterday, I was invited by Concubine Xuan to sit in Jiangwuyuan. When the Second Princess was brought out, I hugged her and said that she had similar facial features to His Majesty, so she would be blessed in the future. But in the blink of an eye, this child... Please show mercy to the Second Princess!"
Chunjia now has a son and a daughter. He was not very enthusiastic about children in the first place, and he was even more indifferent to the newly born second princess. After all, he already had a daughter. Princess Zhaoqing, born from the Yi family, was not only outstanding in appearance, but also raised in a way that he loved. The concubine Yun Fenghuang was at her knees, and she could not compare with the second princess who was traded to Concubine Xuan.
Yesterday I went to Jiangwuyuan. Ultimately, it was not for the sake of the newborn, but to give Concubine Xuan face.
As for Yun Fenghuang and Concubine Xuan both said that the second princess looked like him... Chunjia, such a young child, really couldn't tell that she looked like him.
And whether it looks like it or not, it has no special meaning to Chunjia.
At this moment, when Yun Fenghuang said this, he hesitated for a moment and then said gently: "What my beloved concubine said is absolutely true. I will visit the child more in the future."
When Chunjia said this, she was thinking about Concubine Xian's intention, and heard Yun Fenghuang sigh: "Your Majesty, if this is all, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"
"Oh?" Chunjia raised her eyebrows, "Ai Fei means...?"
"Your Majesty, the second princess lost her mother just after she was born. In our opinion, this child is extremely pitiful." Yun Fenghuang said sternly, "But there are always some people in the world who are vicious and mean, and they say some heartbreaking things. Concubine I was very worried when I heard the news last night. Sure enough today, someone from below reported it, saying that someone was talking about the second princess... Ke's mother... Your Majesty, please tell me, the second princess is so big, how can she carry such a heavy burden? Charged with such a crime?"
Chunjia didn't expect this at all. Hearing this, he frowned and said coldly: "Who said that?"
"It's just rumors. I was eager to report to you, but I didn't have time to investigate thoroughly." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "After all, Liang's departure was so sudden and hasty, it is difficult for the second princess not to be discussed. For this plan , I would also like to ask Your Majesty to love that child more."
Chunjia somewhat understood what she meant, and asked tentatively: "Then how do you think I should feel sorry for her?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "Even if you don't do what Zhaoqing does, you will be granted the title of princess at the full moon, but you still have to give her a name so that everyone can understand that His Majesty values the second princess very much. In this way, the emperor will not dare to speak ill of the princess."
Then he whispered, "Otherwise, if Concubine Xuan has a headache in the future, will the Second Princess have to take the blame? This would be too unfair for the child. Your Majesty now has four princes, but only two. Princesses should be raised carefully, how can they be made to suffer such anger? Your Majesty, do you think so?"
No matter how little attention is paid to her, she is still her biological daughter. Besides, she is raised in the name of Concubine Xuan. If she promotes her, it will also give Concubine Xuan face... Chunjia thought this way. Although she knew that Yun Fenghuang had other agendas, she thought about it for a while and agreed, saying, "I am now We will go to Jiangwuyuan and think of a name for the second princess later."
Then she praised Yun Fenghuang for being virtuous and virtuous. She was worthy of being a virtuous concubine, and she indeed loved and protected the imperial concubine and the imperial heir... This news soon spread to Jiangwuyuan, and Concubine Xuan was not happy and got angry: "The second princess is my wife As a daughter in my name, I have the right to decide her grievances, so why should a worthy concubine take over someone else’s responsibility?!"
