Of course, Yun Fenghuang would not admit that she was responsible. After all, although she planned to have someone set the fire last night, someone got there first, right
So at that time, she confidently retorted that it had nothing to do with her, and that the responsibility should lie with Shanyuan Temple: "I heard that the Taoist nun who was watching the night accidentally fell asleep and asked the civet cat to sneak into the side hall and knock over the candle. ! Then it’s just a matter of seeking ordinary Taoist temples. After all, people are not sages and sages, and no one can do anything wrong? But please think about it, the Queen Mother, where is the Shanyuan Temple? Who are the people who live in Ruming? But they are so careless, which shows that they are not at all I didn’t take the safety of the Empress Dowager to heart! Judging from my appearance, not only should the Empress Dowager return to the palace immediately and avoid such dangerous places, the Taoist temple here should capture Dong Yu and torture you. It’s better to suppress the shock!”
But the Empress Dowager wanted to capture Yun Fenghuang and torture him in the East Prison. She was shocked: "Absurd! Over the years, Shanyuan Temple has received the royal family members once or twice, and there has never been an accident. Why did something happen to me when I came?! It shows that I have bad conduct and am hated by ghosts and gods!”
"What the Empress Dowager said is right. I remember that a year ago, Ji Sheng, a common man, brought his concubines and princesses to pray for Bidong. Did anything go wrong in the process?" Yun Fenghuang said with a chuckle. , "Besides, it only took a day or two for Shanyuan Temple to be enshrined by the royal family. If the ghosts and gods here really have spirits, why could they bear to see the late emperor die in depression without an heir? Although I am young, I have heard of it. , when Ji Sheng, a commoner, was the late emperor’s empress, he often came to pray for a son. So what? Until the late emperor passed away, there were three princesses beside him. It can be seen that Shan Yuan Guan may have been deeply favored by the emperor. Can it be effective? … It’s really not that good!”
The Empress Dowager sneered: "If the late emperor had a son, how could it be the turn of people like me to run rampant in Ruming's palace!"
"Although I am stupid, I am not the one who was hired into the palace by the Empress Dowager yourself." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "The Empress Dowager seems to dislike me, and I don't dare to say anything. After all, I am not a concubine, so I cannot please you all the time."
"It's true that it's not mine." The Empress Dowager muttered, "What did the Ai family say yesterday? I was asked to appear in front of the Ai family without asking. How did I agree at that time? I said I would watch it at the Ai family. He was waiting at a place where he couldn't reach, and then he came to Aijia to add trouble. Then he wished that Aijia would be angry to death early, so that Chunjia would have no control and let his loving mother, the Queen Mother, take charge of the matter. , no and no?”
Yun Fenghuang immediately knelt down and said, "I don't dare to have such thoughts! Have you ever heard about the incident? I am sincerely worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager in the Taoist temple, so I would like to invite the Empress Dowager to return to the palace. So that your Majesty won’t worry!”
"If it were Chunjia and I who had to worry about the safety of the Ai family, we wouldn't be alive now." The Empress Dowager said disdainfully, "Get out of here, do you really think that the Ai family is someone easy to fool?!"
Yun Fenghuang didn't move when he heard the words... Because the Empress Dowager said those words, she was very silent, but the waiters on the left and right retreated silently.
Obviously there was something to be said to her alone about that situation. Her thoughts moved and she got up tentatively.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager turned a blind eye and waited for everyone to exit before asking slowly: "Can the Emperor allow Ming Hui to surrender to the east?"
"As you said, Princess Minghui's palace is in full bloom. How can your Majesty be unfaithful?" Yun Fenghuang blinked and said, "I don't dare to hide this from the Empress Dowager. Before I came back, your Majesty was just here." When it comes to the life-long events of Princess Hui of the Ming Dynasty, if the late emperor is such a direct descendant, then the choice of the consort must be carefully considered."
The Empress Dowager said calmly: "I don't know what year and month it will be when I think about it?"
"Looking at the civil and military officials of the court, who could possibly have treated the late Emperor's flesh and blood badly?" Yun Fenghuang asked in return.
She said in her heart, not to mention that Chunjia Cuo was very grateful to the late Emperor Xiaozong, and even the three eldest princesses were more tolerant of Chunjia Cuo, and she had no plans to interfere with the marriage of Princess Minghui; even if she didn't like Minghui, with the emperor's ruthless pity, He would not choose to prevent the eldest princess from descending eastward.
Wouldn't it be better to choose a consort for her who is bright and dirty on the outside
The Queen Mother exhaled and suddenly said: "I really want to be a queen?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang quickly made a mental calculation and said with a smile, "How can I be so lucky?"
"So do you have that intention?" The Empress Dowager's expression became subtle and she said softly, "But I also know that I have no hope of becoming a queen."
Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to answer, she immediately said, "Because Chunjia won't allow it."
"It has been less than three years since I entered the palace, and I have already become a noble concubine second only to the queen. I am deeply favored by the emperor. It is obvious that the emperor should understand. That master who indulges in small things and refuses to give in to big things. Son. So even if I like him very much, if there are some things that he doesn’t think are good, I can’t go beyond even half a step."
"After all, I have a bright moon, and the Xie family behind me has a bright moon, all thanks to the emperor's favor."
"The emperor's favor can help me and the Xie family, or it can restrict me and the Xie family."
Yun Fenghuang chuckled softly and said, "The Empress Dowager said that, do you want to help me?"
