"You have no grievances, why did you kill the wife of Lord Yi Guo?" The brother and sister arrived at the side hall and dismissed all the people serving. Chunjia turned around and asked, "Even if you don't like Yi Guo, She is the son-in-law of the prince, but how can she deserve the heir in her womb? You are now a wife, and you will be a mother soon, but why don’t you have any compassion at all?!"
Minghui sneered and said: "What a joke, Your Majesty actually asked me out of compassion? Then when you planned to overthrow the Ji family, you can also say that you intended to be a pro-government from the beginning and did not want to be influenced by powerful ministers in the temple. But what about my mother? Even though she is not good to you, she has never done the things you said?! You keep saying that you got your throne from the late Emperor Xiaozong, so it is your duty to treat Xiaozong's orphans and widows kindly... You are Such a kind treatment?! One day you can force the queen to death, ruin her reputation, and even die without a burial place. One day, sooner or later, you will treat our sisters like this, right?!"
"Even if you are in the eyes of everyone in the world, and because I am just the younger sister you have watched grow up, even if I am full of hatred, I can't do anything to you. You will give me the dignity of the scene..."
"But why should I just settle the matter like this?!"
"The hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable, right?!!!"
Chunjia looked at her and sighed. He didn't want to argue with her about what Ji Sheng, a common man, had done in those years, nor did he want to tell her the importance of Ji Sheng, a common man, connecting the court and the Ji family, nor did he want to describe the years when he was dormant. , the ridicule, euphemistic threats and beatings he received in front of the common man Ji Sheng were more than just "not good".
He only said calmly: "Ji Sheng, a common man, did indeed murder the late emperor's heirs. This evidence is conclusive. Even if the late emperor is resurrected, neither I nor the regent can have a clear conscience! For this reason alone, her death is not unjust!"
Minghui said sharply: "Isn't this your one-sided statement?!"
"Common Ji Sheng is your biological mother, and she treated you like jewels. I am not surprised that you resent me for her death, and I do not intend to force you to forget your hatred." Chunjia said slowly, "But If you think that I will be harsh on you sisters because of this, you don’t have to. I am grateful to the late emperor, so whether it is you sisters or the imperial grandmother, I will do my duty as an heir and try my best to take care of you. But if you feel that you You don’t need my care, and I don’t want to force you in the future.”
He said lightly, "Moreover, Minghui, you'd better understand one thing: you can feel that I owe you, you can feel that I must tolerate you, but you are not qualified to treat Yunshi like this!"
"Yi Guogong's lineage can be traced back to the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was one of the brave generals under His Majesty the Emperor Taizu. He was responsible for at least three rescues by His Majesty the Emperor Taizu!"
"The Yun family has been loyal to the emperor for generations. It can be said that the whole family is loyal!"
"As the daughter of the Gongxiang family, all the glory and wealth you have enjoyed since your birth, and all the arrogance you have, are protected by the ancestors of the Yun family!"
"Even if you are the legitimate daughter of the late emperor, even if the late emperor is still alive, I will never allow you to do this kind of behavior that chills the hearts of my subordinates... The common man Ji Sheng really didn't teach you well. I really don't know now. Two days ago, Why does Nian Gong think you are kind-hearted?"
Minghui sneered and said: "Don't pressure me with these big principles! I won't listen to you! And what kind of loyal king is Yun? The late emperor clearly wanted to establish Wang Shu! Who inside and outside the palace didn't know this? ! If Guo Yun is really loyal, they shouldn’t support you!!!”
"If they hadn't been so ambitious and put themselves under your command so early, would you be where you are today?"
This is Minghui's true words. Over the past few months, she has carefully analyzed the root causes of Chunjia's ability to take charge.
In the eyes of the eldest princess, the root cause lies with Duke Yi.
If Duke Yi hadn't taken the initiative to join Chunjia when he first came to the throne, Chunjia, who had no foundation and had just come to the imperial capital for the first time, would have become a real puppet, not to mention doing many small tricks in private and eventually destroying the Ji family. Whether or not you have the energy to survive until the seventh year of Chunjia is a question!
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Chunjia secretly colluded with the regent, and when his uncle and nephew conspired against the Ji family, if Chunjia only had a righteous name and no support from powerful ministers... the regent would be so easy to talk to, and even hand over part of the Imperial City.
Yes, Duke Yi is not as good as Ouyang Yanran in terms of change, not as good as Ye Guogong in terms of sophistication, not as good as Cui Wan in terms of talent and learning, and not as good as the regent in terms of power and status...
But after all, he is the founding hero of the country, a nobleman who lives with the country, and has a family name that has been passed down for generations!
He has a place in the temple, and he is not the kind of minister who can be replaced and dismissed casually.
If we use gambling as a metaphor, by standing up for Chunjia, he gave Chunjia a piece of chips. Even if the amount of chips was not large, it at least gave Chunjia a chance to sit on the gambling table.
It was Chunjia's ability to use this chip to win the gold and silver mountains later, but without this chip, Chunjia would not be qualified to participate in the gambling game at all.
How could Minghui not hate it
If Duke Yi Guo hadn't gone crazy and chose to be loyal to Chunjia when he first practiced Zuo, now that the Ji family was still there and her mother was still there, how could she have experienced the life-worse-than-death experience for more than a year? nightmare
"So, you are targeting Duke Yi's wife because you are resentful of Duke Yi?" Chunjia ignored her hateful words and only said calmly, "You really disappoint me! Maybe you are also a concubine. After Ji Sheng passed away, I felt sorry for you because you lost the protection of your parents at a young age, and my repeated tolerance of you only encouraged your nonsense."
He sighed and said, "From now on, just stay in the eldest princess's residence and reflect, and don't go out if you have nothing to do."
After saying that, she ignored Minghui's screaming and noisy, and threatened that if anyone asked her, she would tell her that she had been entrusted by the imperial concubine to do so. She went out directly and gave an oral order, telling the eldest princess not to go out for the next year, no matter what reason. no!
Externally, it is said that the eldest princess likes to be quiet and does not like to be disturbed.
Anyway, everyone who is qualified to meet Jinzhiyuye knows that because Minghui is extremely fat, she doesn't like to interact with people, especially unfamiliar people.
"Is it just a grounding? Even if it's a year's grounding, it's just a grounding." The news quickly spread to Duke Yi Guo's mansion, and Mrs. Yi Guo Gong hurriedly went to tell little Han in person.
But Xiao Han didn't feel comforted. She said with tears, "She is the eldest princess. The most His Majesty can do is to keep her from going out. Staying in the mansion, she is not enjoying the same fine clothes and fine food. Even the consort has to Be cautious in front of her? But my child..."
She subconsciously looked at her already flatter belly.
The secret medicine for uterine confinement cannot be compared to the abortion pills that can be prepared at any drug store. The doctors at the Imperial Hospital have tried their best, but they still can't keep the fetus in her belly, so they can only prepare other oxytocin drugs to promote labor. The child landed early to avoid a bad end for both mother and child.
There is a proverb in the folk saying that seven are alive and eight are not alive. Perhaps the Yun family's fortune has not declined, and the little Han family gave birth to a living baby boy last night after several struggles.
but…
A group of imperial doctors tactfully reminded her to pay more attention to this child in the future.
Because I have had experience during the period of intrauterine confinement, even if the secret medicine abortion fails, the children who are still born will most likely have some problems.
At its mildest, it is frail and sickly.
This secret medicine was originally intended to kill a love rival, so how could it be a good thing
It's okay that the imperial doctor didn't say that. As soon as he said that, the whole house of Duke Yi, who had been immersed in the joy of having a baby, suddenly lost their joy.
The most important thing is, I don’t know if it’s due to preconceptions, but now when everyone looks at the newly born Mr. Sun, they feel that indeed, maybe, maybe, there are various differences from normal babies.
"Isn't the child doing well now?" Mrs. Yi Guogong was also sad, but looking at her daughter-in-law and niece who was extremely haggard, she still forced a smile to comfort her, "The imperial doctor also said that it is just possible, but it is not certain that anything will happen. . You and your wife have always had strong bodies, and your child will definitely be able to withstand the murder. As the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future, and this child will definitely have great blessings in the future!"
He also advised her to stop crying quickly, "During the confinement period, those who cry out of joy will carefully identify the root cause of the disease and damage their eyes in the future."
Little Han couldn't care about this at all now, and asked the people waiting in the room to go down first, then held the hand of Mrs. Yi Guogong and choked with sobs: "Mom, do you think what happened this time is really what the eldest princess meant?" She clearly has no grievances against us! Could it be...could it be the work of the imperial concubine?!"
"Don't think too much. Your Majesty has personally questioned the eldest princess, and the eldest princess has admitted it. How can it be false?" Mrs. Yiguo sighed and whispered, "You should regard this suspicion as your father and I." No? Your father said that in fact, the relationship between Concubine Min and the eldest princess is not good. In the previous court meeting, the eldest princess once wanted to kill Concubine Min... Do you think Concubine Min's temperament can make her hate the eldest princess? ? With such a relationship between the two of them, how could Her Royal Highness the Princess help Concubine Min to harm you? Your father said, Her Royal Highness the Princess is so crazy now that she is so confused that she doesn’t even know it! "
So you can only admit that you are unlucky
Little Han felt dissatisfied, but Mrs. Yi Guogong was still willing to comfort her. Half a day later, Mrs. Yi Guogong was not there, and the crown prince Yun Qike came back to look after the child... which meant that he was really just looking after the child, right? The wife on the sickbed beside the cradle turned a blind eye.
"Do you know why Her Royal Highness the eldest princess attacked us two?" Little Han was originally mentally weak, so although he couldn't sleep, he closed his eyes to rest.
When I heard Yun Qike coming in, I opened my eyes and waited for him to say hello.
As a result, the husband seemed not to notice. Seeing that the child was asleep, he bent down to look at the child for a while, touched his cheek lightly with his fingers, and then turned around to leave.
Little Han couldn't hold himself back and shouted in a deep voice, "You have nothing to say to me?!"
She and Yun Qike were close to each other. Although they were not very close when they first got married, Yun Qike was still respectful and polite to her.
The change began after Yun Qike learned the truth about Yun Fenghuang's entry into the palace. The little Han had never seen her husband's eyes with such hatred and wariness, as if he was looking at a heinous sinner... Therefore, the little Han hated Yun Fenghuang even more, and she She didn’t understand that she had just eliminated a potential love rival from a humble background. Among noble ladies of similar status, who hasn’t had similar blood on their hands several times
And in her opinion, what she did was right. Think about it, this original seventeenth lady of the Xie family, when she was in the Northland, fascinated Qi Jiulu, the most outstanding person in the Northland, and came to the Imperial Capital to stay under the fence, and she didn't Seeing how she acted, her husband, Yun Qiqi, the most outstanding young person Yun Fenghuang had contact with at that time, also fell in love with her. He even asked his parents to marry her as his son's respect!
After entering the palace, even the emperor, who had seen all the beauties in the world, doted on her. In just two years, she climbed to the position of concubine second only to the queen. Not to mention, even if she was unable to have children, she also raised the emperor's eldest son and daughter. , and the seventh son of the emperor whose biological mother was of noble birth!
This is a complete vixen!
If you don't send her to a place where Yun Qike can't touch her, how about waiting for Yun Qike to become full-fledged one day and force yourself to go to court for the sake of this sweetheart
When Xiao Han thought about the past, she didn't regret plotting against Yun Fenghuang, she only regretted that she didn't do it covertly enough. It was Concubine Shu's death that made Yun Qike know the whole story, although she cut off her love for Yun Fenghuang. , but he also completely disliked her as his first wife.
At this moment, seeing Yun Qike's indifferent attitude, she felt really aggrieved, and said with a little choked up, "Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess... Whatever your Majesty told our family, it was just a mere grounding! But our children... Dad is loyal to Your Majesty. , Why does Your Majesty handle it so lightly?!"
"Of the many female relatives of the Yun family, Her Highness the Eldest Princess has harmed you without harming anyone else. Why don't you think about whether you did something bad and made Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess displeased, and that led to such a disaster?" Yun Qi The guest initially ignored it and planned to leave directly, but when he heard this, he stopped, turned his head, smiled sarcastically at her, and said lightly, "Now that I have suffered a lot, I should remember it for a long time! Instead of complaining about everything, it seems that Everyone else feels sorry for you."
After saying that, he walked away.
... Little Han was like a piece of wood. He remained silent and motionless for a long time, which made him very worried. He hurriedly stepped forward to offer support and comfort.
The wet nurse who was accompanying her hugged her and sobbed: "My dear wife, don't be like this. You and Mr. Sun have both been greatly wronged this time. The prince must be filled with resentment in his heart. That's why he said something unpleasant. He didn't actually mean it..."
"That's what he meant." Xiao Han suddenly interrupted her, smiled a little confused and nervously, and said, "Because this is when he came to question me after knowing the truth about Concubine Min's entry into the palace, this is how I told him That’s what you said!”
At that time, Xiao Han said confidently and contemptuously: "That little bitch is not the only female family member you have ever met. I don't care about others entering the palace to die at the hands of Concubine Yue, but I set her up instead." Go? If she feels wronged, she should think about whether she did something wrong and offended someone without even knowing it! Now that she has suffered a lot in the palace, she should take good care of her memory instead of blaming others. It’s as if others can’t help her—”
Little Han felt light all over because she remembered again that when the truth about Yun Fenghuang's entry into the palace was exposed, it was said that the emperor privately gave her a lot of benefits as a way of appeasing her.
However, there is no actual punishment for the Duke Yi Guo.
Her aunt and mother-in-law are still doing a good job as the wife of Duke Yi.
She herself was doing a good job as the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Yi. Not long ago, she was preparing with great anticipation and joy to welcome the eldest grandson of the Duke of Yi.
Even the concubine Zhenxi Shu who arranged for Yun Fenghuang to enter the palace, with her posthumous title Airong, had everything she needed without any reduction or deprivation.
Little Han thought this was normal at the time. After all, her father-in-law was so loyal to the emperor. How could he be swayed by a concubine who only wanted to show favor and flattery
At this moment, after being defeated by the eldest princess, little Han could understand how Yun Fenghuang felt at that time.
"...You all go out, I want to calm down." At this time, she calmed down and asked her, "The child stays, I will watch him."
