"It is precisely because Yungui does not have a prominent family background, but she got involved in this turmoil in the harem by accident or on purpose, that the Queen and I will pay special attention to her." Emperor Chunjia. He chuckled lightly and said, "After all, people like me can't just end up in the end personally?"
In his opinion, the most precious thing about Yun Fenghuang is that he comes from a rich family, but not a prominent one. At least compared with the Ji family, the regent's palace, Cui Wan, a leader of the Qing Dynasty, the powerful eunuch Zheng Ju, and him, the emperor. Grade.
Therefore, she has the vision and ability to blend in with the current weirdness of Bo Yun, but she does not have the matching power and backing, so she is most suitable as a pawn to explore the road.
Anyway, if she messed up, the best she can do is throw her out and deal with the aftermath.
Unlike other concubines in the palace, they either have too big a background, such as the empress' concubine Shu, Mrs. Yaoning, who can influence the whole body at a moment's notice, so that no one dares to go too far, lest they get into trouble and be unable to step down.
Or they are from too humble backgrounds, such as those low-level concubines whose only advantages are youth, beauty and serving men. However, if the harem of the country does not follow the rules, it will be of no use to serve the emperor, and they will immediately lose their ability to gain a foothold. , I was so frightened when I saw the sky that I couldn't hide in trouble, let alone take the initiative to mix in.
People like Yun Fenghuang who know how to cause trouble and dare to make trouble...
The palace in Taiping times might have been annoying, but now, both the queen and the emperor hoped that she could continue to cause trouble so that they could profit from it.
Of course, this is also their firm belief that they will be the final winner.
Emperor Chunjia thought about it, hesitated for a moment outside the Ningbi Palace, and then left: "It's really not the right time to see Mother Neem at the moment. You can send something over later and explain it to her on my behalf."
Yan Yin quickly agreed.
They left Huzhu Palace, and Yun Fenghuang went straight to Yanfu Palace to see Empress Ji.
But people from Yanfu Palace told her that the empress was away and accompanied Ji's concubines to visit the Empress Dowager in Qingci Palace.
Perhaps it was because of the lingering feelings about Emperor Xiaozong that although the Empress Dowager had long since stopped caring about the harem and was normally very leisurely, she used the excuse of lack of money and lived alone in Qingci Palace for many years, rarely seeing anyone else. .
Even if the Ji family would submit a letter to ask for greetings during every year and festival, they would only send palace servants to come forward and do it for them.
This time he was willing to meet Ji's wife, presumably to give the sick Mrs. Ji some face.
Yun Fenghuang was a little curious about what the people in Qingci Palace were talking about, but he also knew that these were not things he could inquire about at the moment, so he only expressed some regrets and left angrily.
The next day she went to Yanfu Palace, but the queen had not returned yet. She said she was staying in Mianfu Palace to attend to her illness.
Yun Fenghuang didn't quite believe this. On the way back to Huzhu Palace, she was thinking absentmindedly. After walking for a while, she realized that Xile had been left behind. She turned around and saw Xile staring at the palace not far away. There were some seemingly casual scratches on the wall, and I walked over curiously: "What is this?"
"The Crown Prince will bring people into the palace tonight." Xile looked back and said softly, "Noble sir, we have to find a way to get out of Huzhu Palace tonight."
Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang stared at the scratches a few more times, but he couldn't really see anything. He curled his lips and said: "There are no people in the Huzhu Palace on the left and right. Why can't they be allowed into the Huzhu Palace to talk? It's late at night. , how can we two weak prostitutes get out of the palace?"
Xile said: "My lord, although the Huzhu Palace is remote, it is the residence of the concubine after all. Whether it is for protection or surveillance, the palace guards are still on guard. Although the prince has some influence in the palace, he hastily entered and held the throne. It’s a difficult situation in the palace. This is a serious matter. Once someone discovers it, the consequences will be... "
Yun Fenghuang was unmoved and said: "Anyway, I can't leave the palace quietly after being locked up, or let your eldest son change the time. Wouldn't it be tomorrow during the day? He came back to see me the last two times. It turned out that It’s not late at night either.”
"But the Crown Prince wants to bring Mr. Qi with him this time." Xile said helplessly, "Master Qi is not an eunuch, so bringing him into the harem is already very risky. It is basically impossible during the day! Even at night, this is the Crown Prince, It wouldn’t have been possible for another person to do it.”
Yun Fenghuang sneered and said: "Not an eunuch? This is easy to handle. If Ruoguo was an eunuch earlier, it would be difficult for him to become a normal man. But Qi Jiulu is a good man. If he gets a knife, isn't he a real man? Have you entered the palace?"
Xile had one thought in his mind at the moment with his master, that is, what evil had Qi Jiulu done to be entangled with a woman like Yun Fenghuang
Last time, he suggested that Gong Xiangxiao kill Qi Jiulu, but this time he was even more ruthless. He directly wanted Qi Jiulu to become an eunuch... If they hadn't been childhood sweethearts and an unmarried couple, they would have been considered enemies for generations.
But considering that Qi Jiulu is now married to a lady who is said to have a bad relationship with Yun Fenghuang, well, it seems understandable that Yun Fenghuang now wishes that this person would die and be castrated... That's weird!
Anyway, Gong Xiangxiao doesn't think this idea is excusable. Didn't you Yun Fenghuang also enter the palace and even sleep with Chunjia
Is it possible that Qi Jiulu should remain unmarried for the rest of his life
"But if this were not the case, this Qi Xinyun would not have joined the service of this prince." After reading the news sent by the harem, Gong Xiangxiao said to Dou Su, "At first, I just thought that Yun Gui had a different personality, so he casually ordered his subordinates to investigate. Check, who would have thought that there would be such a harvest."
The reason why he and Qi Jiulu got together was because after Xiaofang Hushang met Yun Fenghuang, he decided to dig deeper into her background in order to further control the new concubine. As a result, before Xie's situation could be investigated clearly, he noticed Qi Jiulu who was actively watching the situation in Imperial Capital.
After the two parties contacted each other, they hit it off quickly, and then Qi Jiulu left Sangzi and came to the imperial capital to join the regent's palace.
At this moment, I remembered the whole story and asked, "How are the little square pots... and little Penglai being dealt with?"
"Everyone who knew that Yungui people had been to Xiaofanghu has been dealt with." Dou Su said, "As for Xiao Penglai, only Liuhong knew about her, but she was transferred to Yanfu Palace by the queen the day after the incident. After a while, the Yungui people asked me to come to my side."
Gong Xiangxiao said "hmm" and said carelessly: "Since you are right in front of Xile, let's go back and let Xile finish him off. What happened that night must not be known to Qi Xinyun!"
Dou Su nodded: "I understand, little one."
Although Gong Xiangxiao didn't really care about Yun Fenghuang that night, who told Qi Jiulu to never forget his ex-fiancée? After they got married, they would still be entangled, and they would even chase her into the palace to meet him... It was rare for Gong Xiangxiao to get such a talent to help him, and he didn't want him to create a rift with him.
So I can only keep silent.
Just to silence these people, Dou Su pondered for a moment and said hesitantly: "But what happened that night... Ruoyun Guiren informed Mr. Qi privately..."
If this is an ordinary couple, because the world is always more harsh on women, they often take advantage of it and dare not tell their lover, lest they be disliked. But Yun Fenghuang was different from Qi Jiulu. Yun Fenghuang had already entered the palace and slept with the emperor, but Qi Jiulu still refused to let go. It was obvious that he was not the kind of person who would fall out and be heartless when he knew what happened to his sweetheart.
Maybe I feel more pity...
Especially for someone like Yun Fenghuang, can you expect her to tell the truth when she complains to Qi Jiulu
She must have added fuel and jealousy to describe herself as pitiable and pitiful, and to describe Gong Xiangxiao as cold and despicable... Coupled with the friendship between childhood sweethearts, it is obvious who Qi Jiulu will believe!
"It doesn't matter." Gong Xiangxiao just smiled when he heard this and said, "I don't think that Qi Xinyun would have given up on me after just two days of getting along with him. He just wanted to use my power to fight with Yun Guiren. Let’s renew our relationship. Just as it happens, I also want to use the strength of the two of them to achieve great things!"
"This way everyone gets what they need, but it is more reliable than swearing allegiance."
Gong Xiangxiao said leisurely, "Anyway, besides this prince, can Qi Xinyun find anyone else to help him cuckold His Majesty?"
As long as he keeps this in mind, even if Qi Jiulu holds a grudge, what can he do
It is true that Gong Xiangxiao is not the only one who can allow Qi Jiulu to meet the concubines privately, but whether it is the Ji family, Zheng Ju, Cui Wan or Yi Guogong, they are all big bosses with time-honored names, and they have many advisers and fierce warriors under them. They are young and young. The eldest son of a wealthy family in the North couldn't make a splash at all.
Why should they take risks for Qi Jiulu's selfishness
Not even the regent would do such a thing of reducing the price. The regent was certainly courteous to Qi Jiulu, but it was just an ordinary courtesy, far from being obedient... The regent didn't have that many people under his command.
That is to say, Gong Xiangxiao had the convenience of relying on the regent, but because his mother-concubine passed away and his step-concubine was in an embarrassing position as the head of the family, he urgently needed to enrich his own wings. It was just when he was thirsty for talents that he indulged Qi Jiulu.
As long as Qi Jiulu still thinks about Yun Fenghuang, he has no choice.
Therefore, Gong Xiangxiao knew that these two former childhood sweethearts were not easy to use, but he did not take it seriously. He only told Dou Su: "Please arrange it properly tonight. Even if the Yungui people know about the other people we have in Huzhu Palace, You must also find a quiet and remote place. I see that these two people are not good-natured. If there is a fight... don't alert anyone."
In fact, his prediction was very accurate -
At night, the moon is as cold as water, and the palace has been abandoned for a long time.
Yun Fenghuang wore a black cloak and walked around the ruined walls with the wind at his feet. He caught a glimpse of the angry man under the wind lamp not far away. He narrowed his eyes slightly and walked forward. Before Gong Xiangxiao could say hello, she had already He raised his arm and slapped Qi Jiulu hard on the face!
"Snapped!"
Hearing this sound, Gong Xiangxiao's face twitched, and it really hurt when he heard it. However, Qi Jiulu refused to evade, and took the blow forcefully. When he saw that Yun Fenghuang wanted to hit him again, he relaxed his arms and clasped them. She held her hand and said calmly: "I have something to tell you."
