"Sister, are you okay?" Wei Hengyan was in confinement a few days ago. She looked plumper than before, but she was not very fat. She looked round and round and had a unique charm.
But his attitude towards Yun Fenghuang was as warm as ever.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Concubine Xian sitting at the table, sipping tea slowly. She hurriedly greeted her, and said with affection and concern, "My sister hasn't gotten up just now. I heard that something went wrong on your side, and I even sent someone to go there." Please, Your Majesty, you will scare my sister!"
He said, pressing his chest, his eyes sparkling, "Thank God you're okay!"
"Go and take a look." Yun Fenghuang smiled, very reluctantly, and asked Zhu E to go out. Seeing this, Wei Hengyan hurriedly asked his waiter to leave. There were only two people in the room, so he cautiously asked if it was okay. what happened
Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while and said, "Sister Wei, can I believe you?"
When Wei Hengyan heard this, he got up from his seat without saying a word, knelt down in front of her, held her hand, and said sternly: "If you tell me, from the moment I entered the palace, until my sister was pregnant, I didn't treat my sister. If you just admire me, then my sister had a difficult time giving birth that day. In the three palaces and six courtyards, my sister stayed with her all night and worried about her. Later, she was taken advantage of by gangsters and narrowly escaped death! My sister will remember that, my sister The lives of the princess and the princess are all given by my sister!"
... In fact, Concubine Rui also stayed with her that day, but at this moment, both concubines subconsciously ignored her.
"Okay, then get up and I'll have a few important words with you." Yun Fenghuang pulled her up with force, changed his name and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why I have to summon so many imperial doctors today? come over?"
Wei Hengyan was not a quick-witted person, so he subconsciously asked: "Why?"
"Because it is Your Majesty who needs an imperial physician right now!" Yun Fenghuang observed her carefully when she said this.
Wei Hengyan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he almost exclaimed: "Your Majesty?!"
She immediately leaned forward and asked urgently, "But you don't know that Your Majesty...?!"
"It's nothing serious now, it's just that I haven't woken up yet." Yun Fenghuang didn't give her any details, he just said slowly, "I asked Yan Yin to go over for today's court meeting. But you also know that this is just Temporarily, how valuable is His Majesty's status? He has not shown up for half a day, so there must be an explanation. At most, it will wait until tomorrow. If Your Majesty still can't wake up, the Queen Mother will not be able to hide it first! And Qingci The one from the palace has already openly and openly sided with the regent. When the time comes, she will come to visit in person, can we stop her?!"
Wei Hengyan clenched the handkerchief tightly and said in a deep voice: "Sister, if you have any orders, please tell me clearly!"
"We are all serving His Majesty. Your Majesty is here. Regardless of whether we are favored or not, and to what extent we are favored, we are all noble concubines after all." Yun Fenghuang looked at her, "The children who are your descendants are also His Majesty's own blood. They are golden branches and jade leaves." , noble and extraordinary. But if His Majesty makes a mistake, then we still have the opportunity to live in seclusion for the rest of our lives. It is hard to say whether the children in front of us can be raised."
Wei Hengyan thought quickly. Although she was not as quick-thinking as Yun Fenghuang, she was from an official family and her grandmother was the eldest princess, so she still had basic knowledge.
He immediately thought that if Chunjia had three strengths and two weaknesses, even though there were five princes under his knees, none of them would grow up.
Because there was a regent in the previous dynasty, and one could tell just by looking at the king's title how profound his interference in the affairs of the government was. Chun Jian was so powerful that he still could not regain his power, not to mention the eldest princes who were still in their infancy. There is also the Empress Dowager in the harem, and regardless of her status and seniority, the two Empress Dowagers plus all the concubines are no match for her!
In this way, as long as Chunjia falls, it is equivalent to giving up the throne to the regent.
Even the ministers who were loyal to Chunjia in the past will defect when the time comes. After all, the young master is suspicious of the country, let alone the princes who are so young. To put it bluntly, even if no one harms them, whether they can be raised is a problem. How can they still be here? Compared with the regent who is in his prime and has been in power for many years
When the regent comes to power, in order to eliminate future troubles, he will not tolerate the princes growing up peacefully.
Then why let go of the imperial concubine who supports the princes
Especially a concubine like Yun Fenghuang who didn't have a good relationship with the regent.
Wei Hengyan didn't have many personal grudges with the Regent, but the Wei family and his son had stood up for Yun Fenghuang more than once. Not long ago, they encouraged Gu Jiashu to cause trouble at the court meeting to rescue Yun Fenghuang, which ruined the Regent's plan. ... For this reason, it is unlikely that the regent will show his favor.
"Sister." Cold sweat broke out on Wei Hengyan's forehead, and her mouth felt dry for a moment. She quickly picked up the tea and took a sip before asking Yun Fenghuang uneasily, "Sister, what do you think should happen now?"
Yun Fenghuang said in a deep voice: "I just thought that the only hope of breaking the situation now is the fifth prince under your knees! I just don't know if you are willing to let him go?"
Wei Hengyan said blankly: "Fifth prince?"
As the youngest son of Chunjia, the fifth prince is not taken seriously in the entire harem or in Yijia Palace.
Because his biological mother had no advantage in ranking, his mother-in-law Wei Hengyan gave birth to a royal daughter immediately. She felt disappointed and disliked seeing him even more.
So now we just arranged for a few palace servants to wait on him in the side hall, and only brought him to Wei Hengyan for a few days to take a look.
This was because Wei Hengyan was afraid that he would be too careless and the child would not be raised well enough to be criticized if word spread about it.
At this moment, Yun Fenghuang said this, and she felt that it was very untrue: "In front of my sister, my sister must tell the truth: Anyway, the fifth prince is either my sister's biological mother, or his biological mother, and I don't have a close relationship with my sister. Therefore. He is in front of his sister, who is raising him according to the rules, but she has no other ideas."
The implication is that she has not and does not want to be harsh on the fifth prince, as long as it does not hinder her.
Otherwise, this is not your biological flesh and blood anyway, so why feel bad about giving it up
"That's good." Yun Fenghuang nodded and quickly analyzed with her, "The regent is still in his prime. Even if he is old, he is still better than the infant princes. So if His Majesty makes a mistake, His Majesty's Bones and blood inherit the throne, we must win over the previous dynasty!"
Moreover, it is useless to win over civil servants. Even if the Dingbei Army is far away in the north, the Imperial City Department's manpower is enough for a group of women and children in the palace!
Therefore, in Yun Fenghuang's view, the only chance is to cooperate with the Zheng family who holds the imperial army!
The problem is, she was the one who almost forced Zheng Sangchu of the Zheng family to death...
But it doesn't matter. Yun Fenghuang believes that since Zheng didn't take any drastic action when Zheng Sangchu was sentenced to death, and instead became more submissive to Chunjia, then this hatred can be resolved.
For example, give Zheng a chance to become a descendant.
What
You said there are no concubines of the Zheng family in the harem now
That doesn't matter, as long as I had a concubine from the Zheng family before.
Restore Zheng Shangchu as a noble concubine, follow the example of Concubine Yun Shu, and give her a prince in her name. Can the old Zheng family support this grandson
Then count the princes in the palace now. Who is more suitable than the fifth prince
However, this matter must be persuaded to cooperate with Wei Hengyan.
Wei Hengyan has no objection to abandoning the fifth prince. He is not her biological son anyway. She is young anyway. If nothing happens to the emperor, she can continue to have children in the future. If something happens to the emperor, it will be useless for her to keep this son in her hands. She might as well Take it out to give your mother and daughter a new lease of life.
The question is: "Of course my sister believes what she said. But the Zheng family is an eunuch after all. What if they gain power and refuse to keep their promise?"
Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and said: "Because the Zheng family is an eunuch and Zheng Shangchu has been deposed before, even if they are reluctantly elected as a motherly empress dowager, they will not be able to convince the public! They dare not do anything to us if they are so intimidating. Sample!"
She breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, we can buy some peace for a while. As for the future... we'll talk about it then!"
After all, the emperor was still lying there, and God knew when he would wake up, leaving them little time to plan.
Wei Hengyan hesitated for a moment and then said hesitantly: "Actually, my sister is the daughter of the Yun family. Why not persuade Duke Yi to nominate the eldest prince? After all, His Majesty has no legitimate son, and the eldest prince is the most legitimate one."
"Dong Yi is not good at it." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "Dong Yi has always been a bit pedantic. Besides, he has no military power and is no match for the regent."
She thought to herself that even if Mr. Yi Guo went away, she would not be able to find them!
After all, being a palace concubine requires means to the city, but being a queen mother and concubine is not necessary.
Duke Yi's legitimate daughter is gone, but isn't the concubine Concubine Xie still in the palace and giving birth to a fourth prince
If the eldest prince ascends the throne, can the Yun family allow an outsider like her to become the queen mother and concubine and continue to rely on imperial power to suppress them
impossible.
They must kill Yun Fenghuang as soon as possible and support Concubine Xie as the caregiver of the eldest prince.
How could Yun Fenghuang be willing to give them such an opportunity
Wei Hengyan was still a little hesitant: "But even if the fifth prince succeeds the Zheng family, he is only the youngest son after all. Why should the fourth prince pass over the eldest prince and succeed to the throne?"
It's okay for the fourth prince. If Zheng Shangchu is restored to power, the status of the son of the noble concubine will be higher than that of the son of the concubine Shu.
The key is that the eldest son, the eldest prince, is not so easy to overcome.
"This is not a problem." But Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "As long as you let go of the fifth prince, leave the rest to me!"
Wei Hengyan wanted to remind her that this problem is not that easy to solve. After all, there are quite a few people in the temple who will cling to the ancestral precepts of those who have direct descendants and those who have no direct descendants, and will fight to the end even if they die to remonstrate.
Many emperors in the previous dynasty could not defeat them, let alone the concubines in the harem.
But as he said those words, something suddenly came to his mind, and he was horrified and didn't dare to speak anymore: The eldest prince was raised at Yun Fenghuang's knees.
Just like Yun Fenghuang asked her if she was willing to give up the fifth prince. The prince was only so young, and his life and death were in the hands of his mother and concubine. As long as Yun Fenghuang was willing to give up, she had eight hundred ways to make this cheap son die quickly. And reasonable!
Therefore, the biggest obstacle to the fifth prince's succession to the throne was the eldest prince, who was the least problematic for Yun Fenghuang.
Wei Hengyan glanced at Yun Fenghuang with some fear. She had always been more fearful than respectful to the Xianfei sister. Now she felt that it was even more terrifying. For a moment, she couldn't help but said: "I hope your majesty is safe and sound." Risk is..."
In the past, because of Yun Fenghuang's favor, she could only pick up some leftovers with tenderness, and she felt a lot of resentment towards Chunjia in her heart.
At this moment, I felt from the bottom of my heart that Chunjia was still doing well.
After all, Chunjia is here, even if he doesn't favor her so much, as Yun Fenghuang said, at least she and her daughter's wealth and status are guaranteed.
Once Chunjia is gone, even if Yun Fenghuang's plan saves the lives of mother and daughter, life will be difficult to think about.
Looking at the example of the three eldest princesses, they are still golden branches and jade leaves that Chunjia must treat kindly. What is the result
Even marriages have been used as political bargaining chips.
This means that the brothers who are estranged by blood do not feel sorry for each other. How can they be so aggrieved when their biological father is now in charge
Isn't this what Yun Fenghuang had in mind
She managed to get everything done with Chun Jia, and she could just sit back and enjoy the results right before her eyes! ! !
At this moment, he sighed and said: "If your majesty can be fine, I can give you anything in exchange for it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open. Chunjia, who was only wearing a middle coat and a coat on her shoulders, looked gloomy. As she crossed the threshold, she said coldly: "Oh? Concubine Xian treats me so well? I’m really touched!”
Before he finished speaking, his eyes glanced over, sharp as a blade.
