Chunjia was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously felt a little bit disappointed in his heart.
He thought that Yun Fenghuang was so solemn just because he was worried about him, but it turned out that the concubine still had plans to take advantage of the situation to fish out the real culprit
Sure enough, a good concubine is a good concubine. One step counts three steps, and every move is not simple.
When it came to business, Chunjia put aside his playful thoughts and said in deep thought: "That only requires trustworthiness by both you and my close servants."
"I just checked thoroughly before. If there are still problems, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up during those days when I was lying on the bed and it was hard to get water and rice out." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "You can't stop eating because of choking and then suspect that there is no good person around you... I had been living like this since the incident with my sixth sister came out, but it was fine when I was living under my aunt's knees. After entering the palace, Nian Xuan just refused to take advantage of her, so I had to find out if they could do something better."
"Actually, Lu Chuncao is indeed suspicious." Chunjia thought for a while and told her, "Although the certificates found by the Imperial City Department are not all true, since Liu Hong is the one who did it, he is inseparable from the Regent. Regent On Wang's side, the person most likely to do this for him is Lu Chuncao."
Yun Fenghuang looked at him and hesitated to speak.
Chunjia said: "What's wrong?"
"Although the Lu family and his daughter are at odds with the Prince Regent, the Dingbei Army is of great concern." Yun Fenghuang hesitated for a while before saying, "Don't worry too much, I just don't think Lu Chuncao is that impulsive person. . It might be possible if Concubine Lu Ji is the one, but Concubine Lu Ji is probably not capable of reaching out to my palace."
"Let's talk about things seriously, am I still going to think too much?" Chunjia said, "I know what you mean. The regent treats Qi's son favorably because he hopes that he will take over the Dingbei Army in the future. Therefore, he will attack you viciously. , it is very likely that the Qi family will be dissatisfied. Therefore, Lu Chuncao will not do this. But the problem is that the Qi family has no connection with Gong Wei. If you have three long and two shortcomings, how will he know what the truth is? "
Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "You mean, Lu Chuncao might be planning to kill me and then blame others, or even your plan?"
Seeing Chunjia nod, she quickly analyzed whether the emperor's words were true or false
If he was sincere, this meant that he probably didn't doubt her.
It would be interesting if it was fake.
Could it be that he had found out something and was denying it in order to avoid alerting her
Concubine Xian thought for a while and decided to pretend to the end. She considered the position that she did not do this at all, and shook her head, "If it is just to make the Qi family divorce you, why would the regent take this risk? Not to mention Even if Mrs. Qi cares about me, after all, she is already a biological daughter, with parents and a daughter, how can she still risk her life for me? That would be too slight. Furthermore, step back. From a ten thousand step perspective, even if Mr. Qi is really a fool, what kind of status does he deserve to be concerned about the death of a dignified concubine?"
"Ahuang, have you forgotten the reason why Qi's son is valued by the regent? It's because he can catch the eyes of Uncle Zhaowu." Chunjia sighed and said, "The problem is, even if Qi's son is really regarded as a disciple by Uncle Zhaowu, how can he leave?" He is still far away from taking charge of the Dingbei Army! For the regent, who is the most important thing now? For the Qi family, Lu Chuncao or the regent may not take too many risks, but what about Uncle Zhaowu?"
Yun Fenghuang was startled for a moment and then quickly realized: Although Uncle Zhaowu was said to have always disapproved of Gu Zhen becoming the queen, Chunjia had only persuaded Uncle Zhaowu's father and younger brother, and decided to take advantage of Uncle Zhaowu's presence at the border without an edict. He was not allowed to return, so he cooked the rice before it was cooked, so that Uncle Zhaowu had to admit this account.
But after all, the regent and Uncle Zhaowu had a friendship that they had been together in the army. Maybe they were thinking of using a trick to make it easier for Gu Zhen to help the regent win the throne after Gu Zhen became the queen
Anyway, Gu Zhen, as one of the victims of the Three Corpse Insects, has no children so far and is unlikely to have children in the future.
Even if she becomes a queen and has an heir who seals the East Palace, she still doesn't have the blood of the Gu family.
And Gu Zhen didn't like Chunjia very much. Even if she sat in the back seat all the time, she wouldn't be able to bring much benefit to Gu. Even after Emperor Chunjia's throne was stabilized, there was still the risk of following in the footsteps of the Ji family.
However, Uncle Zhaowu had a close relationship with the regent. If the regent came to power, how could he not rely on Gu
In this way, it is reasonable for the regent to plan to poison Yun Fenghuang in order to ensure that Gu Zhen will not be decentralized or ignored after he takes over the Yanfu Palace.
... If Yun Fenghuang hadn't done this himself, she would have believed it!
"If Uncle Zhaowu is involved." Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes slightly, thought quickly in his mind, and said in a deep voice, "I have an idea."
Seeing Chunjia looking over inquiringly, she sighed, "The regent has good intentions, but will Luo's legitimate son who has been training in the Dingbei Army for several years be willing to do so?"
"You mean Luo Tieyi?" Chunjia thought for a while and said, "Do you suspect that the Luo family did this to drive a wedge between Uncle Zhaowu and Qi Jiulu, and even the regent, to facilitate Luo Tieyi?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "I just think that a famous family like the Luo family is so famous and its legitimate son is so noble that it is unlikely that he would tolerate someone trying to steal his love? But from the time when Qi's son entered the Dingbei Army to now, have you ever heard that What kind of trouble did you talk about?"
Chunjia said implicitly: "Actually, it may not be calm. It may be thousands of miles away, and we don't know."
Of course Yun Fenghuang knew that Qi Jiulu was not peaceful after joining the Dingbei Army. He once narrowly escaped death, but he was led south by Chao Jingyou to the imperial capital to sue for imperial defence. How could it be that it was all arranged by the Ji family and Chunjia? There was some encouragement from Luo, hoping that he would die on the road.
But after all, she is a loyal concubine who "only focuses on His Majesty when she enters the palace and sees Him." How can she pay attention to her ex-fiancé
At this moment, he insisted: "How important is the Dingbei Army? If something big happens, we can't not hear about it. Anyway, I don't believe that Luo Tieyi will sit back and watch Uncle Zhaowu talk to the regent and exclude him. Not only Luo Tieyi Tieyi, it's impossible for everyone in the Luo family to swallow this breath? But I didn't see them insisting on the regent in the temple. Then Ba Cheng was trying to get out of the way, right? They couldn't just accept it. Sitting back and watching Luo Tieyi's bamboo basket fetch water in vain? Who will take Luo's attention in the future?"
"... What you said makes sense." Chunjia thought for a while and said, "I'll turn around and ask the Imperial City Secretary to keep an eye on it."
Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes and said: "I almost forgot, Xuan Jieyu is still waiting outside. Why don't you let Qingdu go to check her out and see what's going on with her coming here now? Maybe just follow her Is it related to the Luo family? We can also confirm one or two things."
Chunjia naturally had no objection.
So he went to Qingdu, and not long after, he came back in a hurry to report, saying: "Your Majesty, your empress, Xuan Jieyu said that just now the wet nurse was breastfeeding the second princess, and the second princess had just taken two sips, and suddenly the wet nurse fell to the ground bleeding from all her orifices. Death, looking from left to right looks like... Crane's crown is red!"
Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment. Not only her, but Chunjia also changed his expression: "Seriously?!"
"My maid, it seems that Xuan Jieyu's appearance is not fake." Qingdu glanced at Yun Fenghuang and said in a low voice.
... Luo Hanyi had to lie about such a big thing because he was crazy.
Although after waiting for a long time, she learned that the emperor was personally accompanying the concubine Xian on her bed, and had no time to pay attention to her. He could only ask Qingdu to come over and deal with it. She felt that she was going crazy. After Qingdu came in, it only took him a stick of incense. Chunjia, who looked solemn, strode out quickly, briefly asked about the situation, and then asked her to board the chariot to Yanlan Palace, intending to investigate the matter personally!
Not only him, but also Yun Fenghuang wanted to see for himself what was going on
But there was no way, she was the one who announced to the public that she was ill today, and because of this, the emperor did not come to court early. She couldn't just rush to Xuan Jieyu's palace to give advice, right
Therefore, Chunjia got up when she was told, and went to check when she was told. She still had to stay in the Huanhua Palace and be a delicate flower.
Yun Jiaohua was very uneasy. She knew exactly how He Dinghong got to the Huanhua Palace. The question was, what happened to the wet nurse of the Second Princess
Who wants to harm a mere wet nurse
Even if she is the second princess, she doesn't feel like she has any value in being murdered.
First of all, the princess cannot succeed to the throne. Secondly, she is not even the eldest daughter. Thirdly, regardless of her biological mother's background or the importance of her adoptive mother, the second princess is very ordinary.
Chunjia has five sons and three daughters, so she doesn't stand out at all, right
When the other seven royal heirs were all safe, why on earth did the second princess become a target
If he hadn't known that he had no reliable allies in the palace, Yun Fenghuang would have thought that someone had done this specifically to confuse him.
Well, wait... If it's the other way around, it's possible that he doubts himself but has no evidence, and plans to use this matter to frame her
Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang became alert. He reviewed his previous plan again to make sure that there were no loopholes. He also wondered how the matter in Yanlan Palace would develop
She made many assumptions, but she never expected that the development of the Yanlan Palace matter simply exceeded everyone's expectations: all kinds of evidence pointed to Huzhu Palace!
"Absurd! It's absolutely impossible for Melia to do such a thing!" Queen Mother Yuan, who was also paying attention to this matter in Chunhuo Palace, was furious when she heard the news. She almost got up and said, "This must be the nonsense of that slave! Melia Since the death of King Qi, he has been staying at home all day long. This is too much for her. How can she be worthy of being a concubine?!"
Hearing this, Chunjia seemed to be alluding to Yun Fenghuang, and quickly explained: "The Queen Mother is not the Queen Mother, but the Mother Cistanches!"
"Yuan Niang?" Empress Dowager Yuan was startled, and almost didn't think of this niece. After all, compared to Yuan Yuniang who brought her up single-handedly, and Yuan Zhiniang, who had the title of legitimate daughter and was given the title of Zhaoyuan, Yuan Yuniang's birth and status were It's all too easy to ignore.
Even Queen Mother Yuan paid far less attention to her than her other two nieces.
At this moment, she became even more angry, saying how could this be possible? If you want to say that Niang Niang murdered the second princess, at least she might still be capable of it, but Niang Niang... This is just an unfavored palace concubine, an idler raised in the palace, she I'm afraid she has never been to Yanlan Palace. How can she do this
Empress Dowager Yuan sneered and said, "If she is capable of this, the Ai family will think that Concubine Xian was also harmed by her!"
In fact, Chunjia didn't really believe that it was Yuan Yuniang. The problem was that Yanlan Palace's thorough investigation resulted in this result. He could only come to discuss with the Queen Mother Yuan how to deal with the aftermath: "Luo Shi kept asking her children to bring justice to her, and now the evidence is irrefutable. , it’s not good if you don’t give her an explanation.”
It would be fine if it was just Luo Hanyi, but the key is that he and Yun Fenghuang just hung him up for a long time.
Luo Hanyi was so anxious that he had someone send the news out of the palace and told his parents and brothers.
It is tantamount to saying that the matter has caused trouble in the past.
It is conceivable that the one who needs to be sealed now is no longer a mere concubine, but the huge Luo family.
"What is the irrefutable proof!" Queen Mother Yuan said angrily, "If the Ai family says it's not true, then it's not true. Otherwise, let Luo come over to the Ai family and say it in front of the Ai family?!"
Of course, these were angry words. Luo Hanyi might be easy to dismiss, but Luo Shi was definitely not that easy to offend.
Moreover, it was okay that the person who was almost murdered this time was Luo Hanyi. The key point was that the wet nurse was the one who nursed the second princess.
No matter how little attention the second princess receives, she is still Chunjia's flesh and blood.
If the charge of murdering the emperor's heir is withheld, Yuan Yuniang will not be able to escape death. The crime is small, and Xing Ningbo's house will probably not have a good life.
Even Yuan Nian's past actions of being harsh on the concubines and murdering the emperor's heirs will be exposed... The regent will definitely be happy to do this.
Queen Mother Yuan pursed her lips, regretting once again that she had not carefully trained Yuan Yuniang.
If her niece has a reputation of being virtuous and generous, what is she afraid of
She dares to continue to cry out for injustice despite the irrefutable evidence!
For example, Yun Fenghuang's biological mother Jiang Shi had an example of raising her concubine as her own and even treating her better than her own. Now if Xie Jian found another concubine to give birth to an heir, she would directly treat her as her own. The mother and son were tortured to death, and no one would believe them if they told her.
But Yuan Niang’s reputation...
From this, it is inferred that the sisters Yuan Yuniang are...
That really doesn't hold up at all.
"Mother, my son has just made a tactful promise to regain his position in the Luo family." Chunjia comforted her for a while, then said, "As for his father and brother, if my son talks to them tomorrow, there will definitely be no problem. It's just that The Empress Mother has to take the trouble to give Yun Niang and Uncle Xingning a hard time."
Empress Dowager Yuan said bitterly: "These bastards can do nothing but hold us back, so what else are you telling us? Just tell them to go back to Fuyang County! Otherwise they will be embarrassed in the court and the palace!"
Having said that, he finally ordered people to bring in Yuan Yuanniang, who was already kneeling outside the palace to express her guilt, "The Ai family wants to personally ask this wretched maid! What can the Yuan family, the Ai family, and the emperor do to her?" , she wants to harm people like this?!"
In fact, the mother and son were not very surprised by Yuan Yuniang's eating and drinking. After all, people's hearts are not as strong as snakes swallowing elephants. What they couldn't figure out was, where did Yuan Yuniang get this ability
Of course, Luo Hanyi's methods of managing the palace were not as good as Yun Fenghuang's. She even didn't care much about the second princess and just raised her casually. But this didn't mean that it would be easy to kill the second princess's wet nurse.
Empress Dowager Yuan just said that Yuan Niang might have this ability, which was a compliment to Yuan Niang.
Yuan Yuniang may have this qualification, but she really may not have the skills... What's more, Yuan Yuniang
