Gu Zhen's response quickly reached Yun Fenghuang's ears, and she whispered: "The Queen has made a decision. I thought she would be merciful or not know what to do."
It can be seen how much the environment affects people. Gu Zhen was still the same as Mrs. Yaoning. Her temperament was straight and not good at calculations, and her mind was not ruthless... In other words, she did not have the ability to be ruthless, and she had both love and hate. go straight.
Now, less than a year after he ascended the throne, he was already so decisive and ruthless in dealing with a child who was not yet born. He was completely different from the other two.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang felt that it was unfair for the former harem to say that he would be punished for his actions.
She was originally a good person, but it was Gong Wei who led her to bad...
"Empress, what should we do about this matter?" Chen Jing bowed and asked for instructions.
"Keep an eye on the Gu family's people." Yun Fenghuang said leisurely, "If you can, get some evidence of their purpose of going to Wannian County, so that you can remind your loving mother the Queen Mother later."
Look, Queen Mother Yuan was so mean to her, and she still wanted to keep the old man in the dark. She was so magnanimous and repaid evil with kindness.
After saying this, the imperial concubine thought about it again, "Counting the days, it's time for Concubine Shao to give birth?"
"Yes, your Majesty." Chen Jing nodded, "The news about Concubine Shao came at the end of last year. According to the imperial doctor's reckoning, it was almost within these two days that she would launch the attack."
She lowered her voice, "Do you think your Majesty...?"
"There are six princes and three princesses in the palace, what do I think?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "If she can give birth, let her give birth. The emperor's heirs will be prosperous, and the country and the family will be prosperous." It's all a good thing. Let's not meddle in other people's business, but we can't take it lightly. If Concubine Shao is unlucky and short-lived, don't blame it on me!"
There was nothing she could do. She had framed others too many times before, and she always suspected that others would use similar tricks to deal with her.
Concubine Pian Shao also had a noisy important minister father. Yun Fenghuang was not afraid of Yin Qu, but he also didn't want to cause trouble for nothing.
Not only did Chen Jing keep an eye on her secretly, but when Chunjia came over the next day, she specifically mentioned the matter to the emperor, asking the emperor to visit Yin Xiang in the next two days: "Her life is coming soon. If you don't go and take a look, don't think you don't care about them, as your random thoughts will be detrimental to the emperor's heirs."
Because the concubine was not suitable to sleep with after she was pregnant, Chunjia occasionally went to sit with several pregnant concubines a few days ago. During this period of time, he was very busy, not to mention Concubine Shao, even Concubine Shu. He had not been there for more than half a month. It's past.
When it comes to paying much attention to Concubine Shao's heir, to be honest, the emperor really doesn't.
After all, he doesn't love the emperor's heirs as much as outsiders think. Plus, he now has nine children, so how can he care about them
Chunjia could calmly accept whether Concubine Shao's baby was a boy or a girl, and whether the baby would be born smoothly or not.
But since the imperial concubine said so, he agreed and praised Yun Fenghuang for his virtuous and generous nature.
"I am not a virtuous and generous concubine." Yun Fenghuang rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "I am not afraid that Concubine Shao has a good thing and a bad one. The previous Lord Yin grabbed me and wouldn't let me go? Who called me? My father and brother, who have no important ministers, can only be humble and humble to Master Yin?"
She can't let Chunjia think that she is virtuous and generous, because she is too virtuous and generous. When Chunjia is troubled with everything, he may think that she is sensible and considerate, but when he calms down, he may suspect that she does not like her that much.
Furthermore, if you have the opportunity to apply eye drops to the Yin family and daughter, why let it go
Sure enough, Chunjia was smiling, but after hearing this, he frowned slightly and said, "What did Yin Qu say about you recently? Who told you?"
"Those are all trivial matters." Yun Fenghuang vaguely mentioned it. After all, she didn't know whether Yin Qu had said bad things about her recently or what he had said... She only said, "But the concubine is guilty of murdering the palace concubine and the emperor's heir. But I dare not accept it. I have two children under my knees, and I am doted on by Your Majesty. How can concubine Shao give birth to threaten me? I don’t care about her pregnancy. But there are always some people who don’t think so and always feel that I am pampered. He is just jealous and cannot tolerate other people in the palace and other royal heirs. If he had entered the palace after changing his concubine’s body, none of them would have been spared!"
"But now, maybe because I have become a concubine, and with His Majesty's protection, my temperament has softened a lot, but I am too lazy to argue with them."
These words made it seem as if she had suffered many bits and pieces of grievances without Chunjia knowing about it. Intellectually, Chunjia felt that she might be faking it, but emotionally she still felt distressed after all: "Who are these people?" ?Why didn't you tell me? You don't want to care about it, but I still want to care about it."
"It's not a big deal that you are so busy." Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied with his concern and said softly, "In the final analysis, they are saying this because of jealousy. The more they say this, the more unhappy they are, so I do Why should you care? If you take it too far, I won't be polite to you."
The two were so intimate that night that Yun Fenghuang was a full stick of incense late when he arrived at Chongchang Hall the next day.
The concubines all knew that Chunjia rested in Huanhua Palace at night. Seeing this situation, their faces were not very good, but they did not dare to say anything.
After the greetings were completed, Gu Zhen asked the others to leave first, leaving the three concubines to come down to talk, and then told them that yesterday the emperor gave Yuan Zhiniang's wish to stay in Wannian County to give birth, and he agreed. : "But I think it's not good if no one is in charge there. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is already one of the four concubines, and she is on an equal footing with people like me." After hearing this, Concubine Shu and Concubine De both looked at Yun Fenghuang, and Yun Fenghuang said casually, "Concubine Concubine and the others are gone. It's easy to sit in charge. If your Majesty is not at ease, why not ask your Majesty Feng to come in person?"
Gu Zhen immediately glared at her fiercely and said, "If I leave, who will take care of this huge palace?!"
She didn't give Yun Fenghuang a chance to speak, and followed the sermon, "I am inseparable from the three of you. What I want to say is, should I report this matter to the Empress Dowager, please send someone to go there?" Take care of me? This way you can avoid unexpected situations?"
In fact, Gu Zhen didn't just want to be so considerate. The key was that she was the queen.
Although Chunjia personally gave permission for Yuan Zhi's mother to give birth outside the home, if something happened to Yuan Zhi's mother, the empress dowager, a loving mother, might not be willing to blame the emperor's son she had brought up, but would most likely blame the empress for not taking good care of Xian. Concubine.
Even if the Concubine Xian might have been killed on the order of the loving mother, the Empress Dowager herself...
Gu Zhen just wanted to get rid of the blame in advance and ask Chunwu Palace to send someone to Wannian County to take charge. In this way, it would be best for Yuan Zhi and his wife to be safe. If the beautiful concubine died, her responsibility as the queen could be minimized.
The reason why he wanted to discuss with the third concubine was that Gu Zhen was worried that if the empress dowager had that kind of intention, she would probably throw the blame back. For example, she would not agree to send people from Chunhui Palace, but let the empress make her own arrangements. , and even suggested that the queen arrange for her confidants to be in charge... In this way, when Yuan Zhiniang dies, Gu Zhen will be blamed by the empress dowager, who is the loving mother, and in the end he will have to adopt Yuan Zhiniang's child with fear and fear. .
If you think about it more deeply, for this reason, when the emperor grows up, the empress dowager and the Yuan family will most likely tell him: Yuan Zhiniang died because the empress needed to adopt a normal and healthy emperor. Heir, so he killed his mother and took away his son...
Gu Zhen felt angry when she thought about this possibility, so she hoped that Yun Fenghuang could take over the task and convince her loving mother, the Queen Mother, to send someone to Wannian County to take care of Yuan Zhiniang.
Of course, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter to her whether Yun Fenghuang goes to Chunhuang Palace to solve this problem or to Taichu Palace to solve this problem.
But Yun Fenghuang didn't want to get involved in this matter. She had buried such a big hole for Queen Mother Yuan. Now that the harvest was about to come, why bother
Anyway, from the look on Gu Zhen's face, she could tell that she had unknowingly believed sixty-seven percent of Yuan's intention to pick Gu's peaches.
Yun Fenghuang should retreat at this time and erase all evidence and clues, so as not to involve the Queen Mother and Queen in the future.
Seeing that the concubine was indifferent, Gu Zhen knew that she didn't want to help. He sighed in his heart and sent Concubine Shu away to discuss it with her alone: "This matter must be done by the concubine, but the concubine doesn't want to worry about it?"
"Your Majesty, you are ridiculous. The Empress Dowager has never wanted to see me. It's not that you don't know." Yun Fenghuang pushed back lightly, "To put it bluntly, I might just talk about it to anyone. The Empress Dowager is kind-hearted." That's right. If you want to be a concubine, not only will your loving mother not be allowed, but she will try to make things difficult for you. Wouldn't this ruin your good intentions?"
"..." Gu Zhen was silent for a while and then said, "I heard that your brothers are quite brave. I wonder if they are willing to serve the imperial court?"
Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.
"The Dingbei Army is already in full swing." Gu Zhen thought about it and felt that with the concubine's favor, even if Xie Shiyun didn't report this kind of news, sooner or later the emperor would tell her, so there was no need to keep it a secret, so he told the truth, "Many people want to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some merit. If you are willing to do something convenient for me, I can also write to my father and ask your close brothers, nephews to be personal guards, etc., and share some of the credit."
My personal guard.
Yun Fenghuang made a quick calculation in his mind and felt that Gu Zhen was quite sincere.
After all, the personal guards follow the general, and the danger is much lower than that of ordinary soldiers. They can also get closer to the water and the tower first.
Of course, there are disadvantages. As the commander of the Dingbei Army, Zhaowu Bo Gu Fangshu is not a general, so it is unlikely that he will take the lead easily. Therefore, as his personal guard, there are fewer opportunities to kill enemies and make meritorious deeds.
But it doesn't matter. Although the Xie family has many children, Yun Fenghuang only has a few direct brothers, and her eldest nephew is only at the age of marriage. These are her closest direct descendants, but she can't afford to lose them.
"How dare I disobey your Majesty's orders?" After thinking about this, her smile became sincere and she said warmly, "I will do it with you later!"
When Gu Zhen saw this, he didn't bother to talk to her any more and just waved his hand to let her leave.
However, Yun Fenghuang sat still and wanted to continue asking about things in the north: "I'm really worried about my body, Sangzi, over there."
"I don't know very well." Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "I just know that Hele was very angry at the imperial court's refusal to hand over Mu'e Khan's wife and children to him, and several of Mu'e Khan's father-in-laws are now We have gathered a group of soldiers and horses, and asked Guochao for help... If nothing unexpected happens, we may have to start a war, but we will not start a war on Guochao's soil."
Listening to these words, it seems that you have been invited to enter the grassland to help Mu'e Khan's father-in-law attack Hele
This is really a great opportunity to make achievements... Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, no wonder the Wei family wants to find ways to marry the Gu family. Under such a situation, there is indeed hope of becoming a prince.
After she left Yanfu Palace and returned to Huanhua Palace, she pondered to which brother or nephew should this personal guard be given
While he was thinking, someone from the palace came quickly to report, saying that there was news from Ranxiang Palace, and Concubine Shao took action.
