Jiashan Palace was as low-key as ever and was still recuperating. Queen Mother Qu, who was really lying in bed and recuperating, listened to the whole story and said lightly: "I understand."
Then let the chamberlain who reported the news go down.
It seems that he doesn't care at all.
As for Chunyou Palace, Empress Dowager Yuan frowned. After questioning her carefully, she looked at Zhan Liu next to her: "What do you think Xiao Yun is doing? Is it because he is crazy and wants to use the emperor's heir to win over the emperor?" My son’s pity?”
Although the eldest prince is not Yun Fenghuang's biological child, and he is not even in her name, after all, she has actually raised him and has been raising him for some time. He is still the only male heir she has so far. If there is someone who is both good and bad, and she is crying and crying at this time, Chunjia is always partial, so how can she still let the Queen Mother continue to find trouble for her
"It shouldn't be the case?" Zhan Liu was a little puzzled and said, "The Xiaoyun family is very ambitious. Since she can't have children, it would be fine if Princess Zhaoqing is the heir. Since she is the eldest prince, how can she not pay attention to it? Even if she is It is said that Mrs. Li in the palace is also pregnant, but she has not given birth yet. Who knows whether it is a boy or a girl. Even if he is a prince, he will be the fifth prince after he is born. How can he be as valuable as the eldest prince?"
"Especially since the eldest prince is the son of Concubine Shu and has a close relationship with Duke Yi. Duke Yi and his wife are very guilty of Concubine Shu, and they also attach great importance to the eldest prince. Is it possible that Xiao Yun will give up on this relationship?"
Empress Dowager Yuan was silent for a while, then her expression turned ugly: "Perhaps the Qi family is so important to her?"
"..." Zhan Liu said reluctantly, "It shouldn't be the case. After all, your majesty's literary and military skills are inferior to that of the Qi family? Not to mention the difference in status, which is nothing short of a world of difference."
She also had some such doubts in her heart, but as a slave, even a slave who was trusted by the Queen Mother, there were some things that were hard to say.
"Anyway, I promised her ten days to work. Let's wait two days to see what she is up to!" Empress Dowager Yuan thought for a while, breathed out, and murmured, "The emperor is also watching. Come on, don't make Huang'er unable to bear it, just finish it for her."
If Chunjia had killed Qi Jiulu himself, wouldn't the Queen Mother's plan have failed
As for whether the emperor's doing this would make Yun Fenghuang resentful... Empress Dowager Yuan had not considered this aspect at all. After all, in her opinion, the identities of Yun Fenghuang and the emperor were not on the same level. Thunder, Rain and Dew were both kings. Well, the emperor did this to rescue Yun Fenghuang. Of course, Yun Fenghuang could only kneel down to thank him.
Empress Dowager Yuan's master and servant then decided to observe secretly.
This observation lasted for two days. During these two days, the Xuanqing Palace was in chaos. Yunfenghuang was ruthless in rectifying the palace. He would rather kill someone than let go. Everyone in the palace was in danger, even if they were joking with other palace residents. After two sentences, they were all reported and lined up at the entrance of the main hall to get slapped.
This is still light, but more important, he was dragged out and never came back.
Chunjia couldn't sit still due to such a commotion, and took the time to rush over to comfort Yun Fenghuang. He tried to persuade her not to be so harsh. One was that the eldest prince was nothing serious, and the other was that Yun Fenghuang had only entered the palace. In less than two years, everyone in the palace was solved in one fell swoop. Not to mention the new ones, it was difficult to solve even a credible problem!
She herself can still say that it is better to be more vigilant. Aren't there two more heirs? When the time comes when the emperor's heir has another good thing and two shortcomings, won't it be Yun Fenghuang who suffers
But Yun Fenghuang refused to reason with him at all and cried directly, saying that he was not even qualified to deal with people in the palace now
What else can Chunjia do
When he indulged Yuan Niang in the past, he knew that the concubines who were persecuted to death by Yuan Niang were unjustly accused, but he did not stop him.
Of course, it was impossible to make Concubine Xian, who was more favored than Empress Yuan, feel sad for the sake of some concubines. She only thought that Yun Fenghuang was angry in front of Empress Dowager Yuan and took the opportunity to vent her anger. Although she did not agree with it, she secretly After sighing, he comforted her and let her go.
It was just that Yuan Yuniang had Empress Dowager Yuan and Chun Jia as her backers at the time, who also helped her deal with the aftermath. This resulted in her persecuting the palace ministers for many years, which everyone knew but was never revealed on the scene.
But Yun Fenghuang was not like that. Her backer was nothing more than the emperor. The emperor was busy with government affairs and believed in her methods, so he ignored the turmoil in Xuanqing Palace... So that evening, the two palace people took advantage of the Qing Dynasty and other attendants to be unprepared and sneaked in. Escaped from the dog hole.
They left Huaqing Palace and went straight to Chunwu Palace. They knocked on the palace door at night and asked Empress Dowager Yuan to make the decision.
Empress Dowager Yuan had already rested when she heard the report and had no intention of getting up: "Tie her up and send her back to Xuanqing Palace after dawn. Concubine Xian will keep an eye on the people below. Don't let such embarrassing things happen again!"
It wasn't that Empress Dowager Yuan intended to protect Yun Fenghuang, but that she didn't think the two concubines were worthy of her fuss.
The most important thing is that she doesn't feel that she needs the help of such a lowly slave to deal with the virtuous concubine.
The waiter then went out to deliver the message, but after a while, Zhan Liu personally called out to the sleeping Queen Mother: "Mother, the two palaces said something in order to save their lives. I dare not act alone, so I came here to report it."
It is certainly not trivial to wake up the sleeping Queen Mother: the first thing is the death of Concubine Shu. As we all know, Concubine Shu came to a dead end because of the miscarriage of the former concubine Zheng. No matter how many inside stories were involved, Concubine Zheng's miscarriage Production is definitely an introduction, and it is an important introduction.
The two palace ladies confessed in detail how Zheng visited the Huanhua Palace at night before her summer vacation last year. The two deputies had a private discussion for a long time before Zheng left quietly.
If there is no such thing as the Three Corpse Insects, then this alone cannot be said about Yun Fenghuang. After all, the palace regulations do not say that concubines cannot secretly see each other in the middle of the night!
But now everyone knows that the Zheng family's unborn heir was killed by the Three Corpse Insects, and Concubine Shu was just a name. Then... the whole story can be easily deduced: Zheng family visited Yun Fenghuang and went to escape from the summer heat soon. He Gong followed the Holy Driver to the palace.
Then in the palace, Concubine Shu accidentally collided with Zheng, causing Zheng to have a miscarriage. After that, Concubine Shu committed suicide during the period of confinement... Who is the most beneficial
There is no doubt that Yun Fenghuang.
If Concubine Shu had not died, after Chunjia and her son suppressed the Queen, the first candidate they considered to be the co-manager of the Sixth Palace would have been Concubine Shu!
No matter how favored Yun Fenghuang is, no matter how capable he is, he will never have this chance.
Without the power to co-administer the Sixth Palace, she would not have had the power and status she had in the former harem.
And if Concubine Shu is here, will the emperor's eldest son be raised by Yun Fenghuang
Queen Mother Yuan's breathing was slightly rapid, she patted the edge of the couch and said in a deep voice: "Is there anything else? Is there anything else?"
Zhan Liu calmed down before he dared to continue: "It is said that during the summer vacation this year, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were sick, and it was also related to Concubine Xian. At the beginning of this year, the Queen Mother and the commoner Ji Sheng had not returned to the palace, and Xian The concubine and the former queen had many secret discussions in private, and there seemed to be collusion... In addition, there was... "
Anyway, most of the major events in the palace in the past two years have something to do with Yun Fenghuang!
She is either a direct participant or a promoter in disguise. Sometimes she is simply the real culprit behind the scenes, the kind who takes the blood and tears of others without having any blood on her hands.
The more Empress Dowager Yuan listened, her face became uglier and she said, "Do you think these words are true or false?"
Without waiting for Zhanliu to answer, she said, "Even if the Ai family seems to be adding fuel to the fire, it is generally true. Otherwise, how would two mere palace men know so many inside stories?!"
"...Mother, Xiaoyun has always been cunning." Zhanliu muttered for a while, then whispered, "Although she has tormented the concubines a lot since she entered the palace, she has always treated the people around her and the concubines under her. It's considered taking care of you. Especially Na Yishi, who has never been jealous, but often takes the initiative to recommend people to His Majesty. Now he suddenly becomes uncharacteristic. Is it possible that these two palace servants were deliberately released to us? "
Empress Dowager Yuan tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "Then what is she trying to do? As for what these two palace ladies said, just doing some tricks is enough for her to drink a pot. Is this because she is afraid that the Ai family will have no reason to deal with her? ?”
He added, "When the Ai family asked people to check her at home earlier, they couldn't be too harsh on the people below them. However, once they offended her, they were not merciless at all - none of the old servants of the Xie family and the Qi family were afraid of her. Yes. It can be seen that this wretched maid has a vicious heart, and the reason why she came to the palace to stay is considered lenient, but because she has a shallow foundation, she did it as a last resort."
"At this moment, maybe he was being pressed by the Ai family step by step. He lost his composure and showed his true nature."
Zhan Liu remembered that the old servant of the Qi family that the Ji family had brought to the imperial capital was indeed very afraid of Yun Fenghuang.
It is said that Yun Fenghuang was the fiancée of the eldest son of the Qi family earlier, but after all, the engagement was broken off before they even got married. The servants of the Qi family would at most respect this kind of future mistress. How could they be so afraid of her? It can be seen that Yun Fenghuang is not truly generous anymore.
But then again, how can you expect a young concubine who has arranged all the concubines after entering the palace to be truly generous
Thinking of this, she sighed: "Maybe my maid is suspicious."
He asked Empress Dowager Yuan, "What about these matters? Should we wait until the ten days you gave her before are over before dealing with them, or?"
The Queen Mother pondered for a long time and then said: "Let the emperor come over tomorrow morning. The Aijia will first try to find out what the emperor has to say."
She pinched her forehead as she spoke, feeling a little melancholy, "In the past, the concubine didn't like Aijia. When Aijia felt aggrieved at that time, she thought that when Aijia became a mother-in-law, she would be kind and kind to the emperor's backyard, unlike the concubine. The concubine is so aggressive, not only the daughter-in-law of the Ai family is trembling, but also her son is at a loss what to do and is in a dilemma... I never thought that the Ai family can't get along with the woman the emperor likes at the moment! Thinking of this, I don’t feel so resentful towards the concubine anymore.”
"Perhaps in the eyes of the concubine, the Ai family at that time was as unpopular as the Xiaoyun family?"
"How can Xiao Yun compare with you?" Zhan Liu whispered, "You are the concubine that the late king Ming Yuan is marrying! Xiao Yun is just a concubine. And you are a virtuous and virtuous person. When did you not think about the late king and His Majesty? Even if the concubine tries to make things difficult for her, you will never slack off in serving her."
"But what about Xiao Yun? His Majesty loves her so much that he gave her the title of Concubine Xian. Who knows what's going on with her?"
That night, Zhan Liu accompanied Empress Dowager Yuan to recall their life in Fuyang Palace for a long time, before the master and servant fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Empress Dowager Yuan was about to send someone to guard the court. When Chunjia came down from court, she called them over. As a result, Yun Fenghuang came first, saying that she had no way to serve, and asked the two palace officials to run away in the middle of the night. I came here to disturb the Queen Mother and wanted to take her back to discipline her.
