Queen Mother Ji and Yun Fenghuang looked at each other with disgust, and had nothing to say when they met. Queen Mother Ji said: "Minghui is very ill now, I'm afraid she will get over it..."
He was cut off before he could finish his words: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, you have personally taken care of Her Highness the Princess and she is fine for a long time. It can be seen that although the Princess's condition looks serious, she is actually no more than a human being. Furthermore, I am from a humble background. I am strong but not that delicate, so I can go visit His Highness."
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "The Emperor only said that the imperial doctor would take a look at her. Concubine Xian will stay here to chat with the Ai family. We haven't seen each other for some time."
"Your Majesty loves you so much, how dare I disobey you?" Yun Fenghuang smiled and said softly, "Speaking of which, I also want to talk to you: How old is Princess Minghui? If she doesn't discuss marriage, Don't you miss out on your youthful years? Earlier, Wang Linglai was considered very good by Your Majesty, but it turns out that you know people and faces but don't know the heart. Fortunately, His Highness found it before he fell. Now that the engagement has been broken off, it is time for His Highness to choose a good wife for the princess. The son-in-law is the one."
"It's not urgent." Empress Dowager Ji frowned even more and said, "After she broke off the engagement, she continued to look for a consort in a hurry. Those who didn't know thought that the royal family deliberately regretted the engagement. Wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the royal family and Minghui? ?”
Yun Fenghuang said: "This is also true, but we can watch each other in private. Otherwise, if we wait until the limelight has passed and start making more noise about this matter, what if all the good ones are picked away? We can't ask the noble princess to find her. What’s left over from others?”
It's okay if she didn't say that, but after saying that, Empress Dowager Ji felt a secret hatred in her heart. Zheng Fengfen, the consort that Chunjia had found for the three princesses, was the adopted son of the General Hussar. Although Zheng Ju was a eunuch, his status and power were really there. He was a son of a high-ranking family; although Xie Wuzheng was not of high birth, his appearance and bearing were the best among the three princes-in-law, and he also had a beloved cousin.
And what about Wang Linglai? In terms of prowess and family background, she is not as good as Zheng Fengfen, in terms of background and handsomeness, she is not as good as Xie Wuzheng, and in terms of financial resources, she is the worst of the three consorts. According to Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, she was the worst of the three consorts, and she was given to Ming Hui, who was her direct descendant!
No matter how much I think about it, I feel so angry!
"Why does Concubine Xian want to recommend which brother of yours?" Queen Mother Ji's eyes darkened and she asked expressionlessly.
Yun Fenghuang covered his mouth and smiled: "I am from a humble background, my dear, my Majesty, I am flattered that my twenty-first brother can marry Her Royal Highness Princess Penglai, how can I dare to flatter Her Highness who wants to be a legitimate daughter? My Majesty, when the princess's marriage was decided earlier, you I am accompanying the Queen Mother here in the palace, but I don’t know what kind of person you want the princess to be."
Empress Dowager Ji said calmly: "The Ai family can't be the master, so do the Ai family's ideas matter?"
"As you said, Your Majesty personally made the decision for Her Highness the Princess because you feel sorry for Your Highnesses, don't you?" Yun Fenghuang naturally sided with Chunjia and advised her to be more open-minded, "After all, the consorts are outside, and we live deep in the palace, even if After seeing it in person, only for a short while, who knows whether it is good or bad inside? If this is entrusted to someone else, wouldn't it be wronging His Highness?"
Queen Mother Ji sneered: "It sounds like Wang Linglai is a good person!"
"Your Majesty is the emperor, so he naturally has the protection of heaven." Yun Fenghuang's expression remained unchanged, "You see, even though Wang Linglai had hidden it from our royal eyes and ears before, now, wouldn't he still be exposed before the wedding? It can be seen that your majesty May the heavens be filled with great blessings, Princess Fuze, don’t let her be deceived!”
"... Concubine Xian is really eloquent." The Queen Mother glanced at her and said softly, "If your talent and appearance were not hindered by your background... it would be a pity."
Naturally, Yun Fenghuang would not be fooled by such a simple provocation, and said with a smile: "I am a concubine, and my father and brother have not made any contribution to the title of marquis, so I dare not think too much about it. Being ranked as the fourth concubine is already a great favor of His Majesty."
Your Ji family's legitimate daughter, the former Minyanghou Zhangzhu, Ji Muzi was only Zhaoyuan when she was at her highest.
"It's best if you can be content." Queen Mother Ji didn't get angry, she just said calmly, "Concubine Xuan and the others are young and ignorant, so you have to keep an eye on everything. You are from a good background, and your future is limitless... If you are not convinced in your heart , the emperor will definitely need to worry more in the future."
Yun Fenghuang's smile did not change: "A noble lady from a high family is naturally not comparable to me. However, we are all people who serve His Majesty. Who doesn't regard Your Majesty as the most important thing?"
The two sides went back and forth to test the situation for a long time. The imperial doctor over there also took Princess Minghui's pulse and came out to report that it was indeed inappropriate for Princess Hui to move at the moment.
When Yun Fenghuang heard this, he didn't bother him. He stood up and left, saying that he was going to revive Chunjia.
After leaving the house, she asked the imperial doctor: "How is it?"
"It's not good to say that I have only a few talents." The imperial doctor frowned and thought deeply, "Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui's pulse condition is very strange...it doesn't look like a normal illness."
Yun Fenghuangxin said that the Princess, who was always full of energy and well fed, could not have contracted the disease suddenly: "Just tell me what happened."
"It seems that he accidentally ate something he shouldn't have eaten." The imperial doctor said implicitly, "After treatment, he was not able to survive well, so his vitality was greatly damaged. But as far as I know, some medicines can also fake a similar pulse condition."
Yun Fenghuang simply ignored his last sentence: "What do you think His Highness ate by mistake?"
"... I can't tell." The imperial doctor hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "There are too few lights in His Highness's bedroom, and I dare not look directly at Feng Yan. I can only guess that it is a conspiracy."
"Not just anyone can get this thing." Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"
The imperial doctor said vaguely: "I have met someone who fell into the trap before, and I thought it was a bit like... but I don't dare to confirm it for the empress. That's just my guess."
When he said this, he was basically convinced.
Yun Fenghuang was confused and asked him: "Is it possible that the person who took your pulse, um, you didn't see clearly either?"
Maybe she is not Princess Minghui herself, but just found a substitute to deal with the imperial doctor
"I think it should be right." But the imperial doctor shook his head and whispered, "His Royal Highness has a red mole on his wrist. Before he came here, your Majesty's father-in-law in front of you told him in private. I paid special attention when taking the pulse. Said exactly the same thing.”
Normally, Empress Dowager Ji would not dare to use a substitute. If the imperial doctor spied on her and shouted out on the spot, causing trouble in front of Chunjia, it would be difficult for her to explain.
Yun Fenghuang pondered, and when he met Chunjia, the imperial doctor sent him out after giving the report. Of course, he also told him not to talk nonsense, so the imperial concubine cleared the place and discussed the matter alone: "How could Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui take the drug by mistake?" machine?"
Lianji is the secret medicine of the palace, and only the nobles who have given death will use it.
Those who don’t have enough status will not need it if they want to die.
Therefore, the collection has always been careful, and the few that can be accessed are all close attendants of the palace giants - such as the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Ji and Chunjia.
New giants like the Empress Dowager and Yun Fenghuang have not been able to get their hands on them yet.
So if there are traces of Princess Minghui taking the medicine, it is unlikely that she was poisoned and murdered, but it couldn't be that Queen Mother Ji gave it to her, right
As for the misunderstanding, this is just an excuse to save the royal family's face.
The princess is not a three-year-old child anymore, how could she accidentally take something like this
"Minghui has always been filial and sensible, especially Rumu, the late Emperor." Chunjia couldn't figure it out, but he didn't bother to think about it anymore and directly explained to Yun Fenghuang, "Perhaps this kind of thinking caused her to have a conflict with Empress Ji... The queen mother was so angry that she tried to discipline her, but when she saw that Minghui was in bad condition, she regretted it, so she sent someone to rescue her."
Yun Fenghuang answered understandingly: "But Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui was lying on the hospital bed, but she still loved the late emperor and the Gongxiang family, and refused to listen to the Queen Mother's words and help the Ji family. Therefore, the Queen Mother became angry again and did not give any advice. Your Highness has taken good care of you, and your Highness the Princess has lost her vitality?"
Chunjia glanced at her approvingly: "Don't mention this matter for now."
"Then when will you mention it?"
"Aren't we going back? Let's wait until we get back." Chunjia said, "Empress Ji will definitely stay for Minghui, but the Queen Mother will probably come back to the palace with us. Now that the bones have been raised, I'm afraid the Queen Mother I won’t go back either, which is not good.”
After Yun Fenghuang heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, what's the excitement when you go back this time?"
Otherwise, last year he tried every means to force the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji to stay in the palace and not allow them to go back. When they were welcomed back to the palace at the beginning of this year, the palace was still burned down, so there was nothing they could do.
Why have you changed your mind now and have to let these two go back
Isn't there some battle prepared in the imperial capital waiting for you to enter the urn
Chunjia just smiled, touched her temples, and said An Ran: "Just watch the concubines tidy up, it's trivial to be careless. Zhaorong is heavily pregnant, so don't make any mistakes on the way."
On the way back to Jieyue Xiaozhu from Xingxintang that day, Yun Fenghuang didn't look good.
"Your Majesty is going to attack the Ji family. Why are you unhappy?" Qingren asked in a low voice, "Is it because you don't like your Majesty?"
"If you don't think highly of him, why would I help him everywhere?" Yun Fenghuang sighed and said sadly, "Are I the kind of person who helps people when they need it? But I didn't expect the Ji family to collapse so quickly. I must have said The back seat will be vacant soon... But you also know Xie's current situation."
"After taking the throne now, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with me."
"How do you make me happy?"
The Qing man consoled him: "With regard to His Majesty's love for you, and the presence of the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing, even if the successor goes up, can he still embarrass you?"
"I just feel unconvinced, and if there is a successor, there will be a legitimate son, and then the eldest prince will be like that." Yun Fenghuang shook his head, secretly scolding the Ji family for being useless, why can't they delay it for three to five years? If it goes on, she might be able to compete.
At this moment... It has only been less than two years since Chunjia took charge. With Xie's background, she really tried her best, but it was useless.
How about finding a way to trick out the emperor's plan and give Ji a letter to extend his life
Yun Fenghuang considered this feasibility without restraint - but finally gave up.
It's not that I feel sorry for Chunjia, but I'm afraid that Ji will rely on him.
She didn't think that if she did this, Mrs. Ji would be grateful to her, and maybe they would use it as a reason to coerce her into working hard for Mr. Ji and then die... Because if she were Ms. Ji, she would definitely do this...
Yun Fenghuang just regretted it. If he had known she would not cheat Concubine Xuan.
After spending so much effort to get rid of Concubine Xuan, Concubine Rui will probably get an advantage now. It should be noted that Concubine Xuan's natal family was not as heavily suppressed by the Guo Ji family as Ruifei's natal family, and was superior to the Ouyang family in terms of popularity and strength.
If Concubine Xuan was not screwed up by her, she would obviously be a strong contender for the successor position as she had been the first among the newcomers since she entered the palace.
But precisely because her natal family was too powerful, in order not to be second to the Ji family, even if Chunjia made her the queen, there would definitely be restrictions on her love and trust.
Even if the emperor is cruel, she may not even have a legitimate son.
But now Concubine Xuan is probably going to die. The Ouyang family, who was born in Concubine Rui, claims that they will not let Luo family be famous. However, because the head of the family, Ouyang Yanran, has been demoted for many years, and the descendants of the same clan have been repeatedly suppressed by the Ji family, they are no longer what they used to be.
This made Chunjia feel more at ease.
If Concubine Rui ascends the throne, she is very likely to give birth to a legitimate son.
When the time comes, she doesn't need to do anything else at all. As long as her son grows up and doesn't make big mistakes, Qingci Palace will definitely be hers - so why is she working so hard to make a wedding dress for Concubine Rui? ?
Yun Fenghuang felt a little unsteady for a moment. Is she such a helpful person? ?
Fortunately, after returning to Jieyue Xiaozhu, an idea flashed in my mind, and I suddenly thought of a way...
