"Even if Sui'an can't give birth to a child, can I still let the consort have no heirs?" Chunjia shook his head when he heard this, "Whether it's adoption or concubinage, to be honest, the most sad thing is Sui'an. As for Ah Huang. No matter how angry you are, it will be over after a while. Why should Ji's aunt and nephew bother with this? It might hinder Ji's honor."
After all, Ji Sheng, a common man, might still have a somewhat contemptuous view of Yun Fenghuang, but former empress Ji Lingzi knew very well what this beloved concubine was like.
If they really want to fight with Yun Fenghuang before they die, Yunfenghuang will not be helpless just because they are no longer around. The greatest possibility is to do something about Ji's posthumous name and even the mausoleum...
Yun Fenghuang can definitely do this kind of thing.
If it was the kind of revenge that could deal a fatal blow to Yun Fenghuang, or cause lifelong regret, the aunt and nephew would do it.
But it's just that the cousin can't give birth, and it's not that the cousin can't give birth. As Chunjia said, even if it doesn't work out, he can adopt an heir from the Xie family and raise him. What else can Yun Fenghuang do if he gets angry
Ji Lingzi wouldn't do such an unreasonable thing.
"But if it wasn't Ji's aunt and nephew, could there really be someone else in the palace who could use the Three Corpse Insects to murder the Sixth Palace?" Yun Fenghuang frowned, "But who is this person? And why should he target him? Sui'an?"
Chunjia's expression was complicated for a moment, and she said slowly: "Do you think... Minghui would do such a thing?"
"Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "It is very possible that your Royal Highness is deeply resentful of my concubine! But... Sui'an and her are sisters after all. , they grew up together since childhood, how could she commit such a murderous attack?"
Chunjia was not sure, he hesitated for a moment, and mused: "I also feel that although she has a deep prejudice against both of us, judging from her actions against the little Han family, she is still a child full of resentment. Even if she vents her anger on Yun'an, Sui'an always cares about the past friendship? Didn't Yun'an give a generous gift to congratulate her when she gave birth to a daughter?"
The emperor would not be surprised if Minghui directly knocked on the door of the two eldest princesses and openly set rules for the two younger sisters.
But privately using three corpse insects to kill Sui'an's desire to have children, it is not like Minghui can use such a sinister method.
After all, this golden man has truly lived a carefree life for more than ten years. Even though he has suffered frequent blows in the past two years, he has always been well-fed and well-fed, and has never really suffered.
Even if his temperament changes drastically, it doesn't mean that he has changed from his original innocence and ignorance to being ruthless and ruthless.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess may not be able to bear or think of doing this." Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes and said, "But what about the people around her eldest princess? Your Majesty, please think about how the common man Ji Sheng treated you when he was here. The eldest princess loves her very much, so she has nurtured her innocent and innocent temperament. Based on this, I think that Ji Sheng, a common man, will never tell your highness the eldest princess about the Three Corpse Insects! More Let alone using this method to harm others! After all, ordinary parents, no matter how ruthless and sinister they are, hope that their children will walk on the right path and be open-minded and magnanimous."
"But the people around Her Royal Highness the Princess, especially those who have served the common man Ji Sheng before, are not necessarily the same."
"They have served Ji Sheng, a common man, for many years. Before that, the Ji family had been in power for many years. Even if one dynasty falls, there will always be some stubborn people who do not know how to promote!"
"Using the wings of Her Highness the Eldest Princess, she murdered the Eldest Princess to vent her personal anger. At the same time, she also intended to provoke a fight in the palace, and even turn the Tian family sisters against each other... It is not impossible to think that the Ji family is venting their anger?"
"..." Chunjia frowned slightly when he heard this and didn't speak for a while.
This speculation may sound reasonable, but it is unfounded. It is not so much Yun Fenghuang's whim as it is a temporary scapegoat to explain.
This was not only to give Sui'an an explanation, but also because of the continuous turmoil in the palace. The Three Corpse Insects incident spread to the upper and lower dynasties. With the withdrawal of Ji's daughter from the harem, it was finally suppressed. If there is another commotion now, Up, even the bones and blood of the former emperor were not spared. Now the emperor and concubine still have no clue, then... it is difficult not to make people doubt the ability of the current emperor and empress.
Especially Chunjia, he has already derelict in his duty by not taking good care of the late emperor's sister. If the real culprit cannot be found as soon as possible, it goes without saying that he is either stupid or bad.
The emperor didn't want to take possession of any of them, so he had to settle the matter before it became known.
And in order to avoid the suspicion of not knowing people as much as possible, there is really no better proposal than Yun Fenghuang's proposal as the culprit.
After all, as the emperor and already in charge of the government, no matter what went wrong in the former harem and caused Princess Sui'an to suffer such a big loss, he would not be able to escape from it. The two empress dowagers and the eldest princess Minghui were also involved. Due to the extremely close relationship with the late emperor, the emperor always treated them with special courtesy and never interfered with their personal attendants and palace arrangements.
If there is any problem, everyone must feel that the emperor cannot be blamed.
But if it is directly pointed at the Empress Dowager and Princess Minghui, not to mention that these two memorial arches still need to be kept, it is also suspected of exterminating the Ji family in return for evil.
Therefore, these two people cannot move, so the next best thing is to have the waiter pull out and top the cylinder.
This can frighten the real master to a certain extent, and at the same time, it also leaves a certain amount of room for imagination for people in the world to speculate that the emperor will be merciful and abandon his chariot to keep his commander-in-chief.
This side suppressed the reputation of the Tian family's ancestors and grandsons, and prepared the way for Chunjia to take advantage of them in the future.
"Sui'an is really innocent and gentle, I'm afraid he will really believe it." The emperor thought for a long time and said slowly, "When the time comes when their sisters turn against each other, how can the late Emperor Xiaozong not vent his anger on me?"
Yun Fenghuang walked over and hugged his neck, put his chin on his shoulder, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it is said that when the late Emperor Xiaozong passed away, what he wanted to do most was to establish the emperor's younger brother. Isn't this a sign that Xiaozong was optimistic about his father-in-law? Is it because the Xiang family's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains should be entrusted to the regent? Isn't it because Xiaozong himself has no children, and seeing that the Ji family is so powerful, he is worried that in another day, he will lose the country that Emperor Taizu worked so hard to conquer? It can be seen that Xiaozong, the late emperor, During his lifetime, what he cared about the most was the inheritance of the Gongxiang family! In comparison, what are three daughters? If there was a spirit under Jiuquan, the late Emperor Xiaozong, he would surely do the same when he saw the throne passed to a wise king like Your Majesty. How can a person with a smile on his face complain about His Majesty over trivial matters?"
"It's as if you knew the late Emperor Xiaozong well." Chunjia was amused by her, stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and said, "Even I have never met the late Emperor Xiaozong, let alone you? How do you know that he is definitely Do you think so?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "It has been just over ten years since the death of the late emperor. The old people in the palace are still there. Just listening to the pieces of words, it is known that the late emperor's mind was not at all in the harem at that time, and he was not even in the affairs of the court. , just focused on targeting the Ji family, trying to suppress and weaken them. It was the three emperor's daughters. It was also when the late emperor was dying. Ji Sheng, a common man, took them to the imperial court to cry, and the late emperor had canonized them. Before that, , but I haven’t heard of how the late emperor cared about and favored them. It can be seen that what the late emperor really cared about was the Gongxiang family after all!"
Chunjia said: "Even so, they are the late emperor's own flesh and blood after all. The late emperor himself can ignore them for the sake of the royal family. If I do this, how can I feel at ease?"
Yun Fenghuang said in his heart, what you said is nice. If these three Jinzhiyuye come together to openly oppose you, I wonder if you will continue to feel at ease
"Actually, His Majesty's move is ultimately for the good of the three Highnesses!" She then persuaded Chunjia from a different angle, saying that we are doing this to calm people's hearts and prevent the real culprits behind the scenes from jumping over the wall and spreading their hands to harm more people. people.
After all, there is no cure for the difficulties caused by the Three Corpse Insects!
Even Princess Yun'an may not be safe by then. Although she has a daughter now, at this time, having no children means having no heirs!
There are no serious heirs in Yun'an yet!
So it's better to find the two murderers first and settle the matter on the scene, so as to paralyze the real murderer, and then go back and investigate slowly and thoroughly, right
Furthermore, this move is conducive to the stability of Chunjia's throne, and Chunjia's throne is stable and he will be in control soon. How will he take care of the three emperors' daughters then
"You're talking as if I'm sorry for the late emperor if I don't do this." Chunjia listened and sighed with a smile, "That's all, so be it."
In fact, he knew very well that the imperial concubine's hard-working suggestions were not only to help him relieve his worries, but also mainly to target Minghui.
Because once Ming Hui's assistant was identified as the real culprit who murdered Sui'an, even if the royal family did not deliberately publicize the matter, the relationship between the late emperor's legitimate daughter and his concubine would definitely have a crack.
Even Yun'an cannot stay out of the matter and must make a choice. Should he support Sui'an or Minghui
The relationship between these three sisters is bound to fall into many estrangements.
Looking at Minghui's growth, the closest person to her was Ji Sheng, a commoner, who burned himself to death; her beloved cousin Ji Minggan was destroyed along with the Ji family; her close servant was thought to have murdered the commoner. Her younger sister's murderer; the sisters who grew up together also had a grudge against her... If Minghui was more vulnerable to such repeated blows, she might not be able to wait for Yun Fenghuang's revenge, and she would be able to stop thinking about it.
But Chunjia pondered for a moment and still pretended to be confused.
The emperors and concubines looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other tacitly.
... After the decision was made, the emperor summoned Sun Yu to do this.
While the explanation was being given in full swing in the palace, Princess Sui'an went back to the palace and cried loudly again. At this time, Xie Wuzheng was at the yamen, trying to persuade her from left to right, but they couldn't stop her. She wanted to send someone to say thank you. Wu Zheng came back, but Sui'an was not allowed to disturb the consort's business. In desperation, he went to Jiang for help: "Mrs. Jiang, please go and see my Highness. The maids are incompetent and cannot be persuaded no matter what." His Highness has been crying in the palace for a long time, and he hasn't stopped crying since he came back. What's the point of continuing like this?"
Jiang was very surprised. When he asked what happened, his expression changed. He hurriedly got into the sedan chair and went to the eldest princess' mansion without even bothering to change his clothes.
"Your Highness, is this matter certain?" When they arrived in front of Sui'an, Jiang saw her crying so hard that she sighed inwardly and asked with her last hope, "Who can make mistakes without being a sage? Even if it is It’s not like the imperial doctor didn’t make misdiagnosis.”
"There are several imperial doctors at Princess Yun'an's place who have checked the pulse of my Highness." The attendant smiled bitterly and said, "Two of them were the same ones who diagnosed the Sixth Palace... I guess they can't be wrong. And my Highness Since the fall, I have been in and out with the consort, and there has been no news for many years. This... "
This is basically correct.
Jiang's heart was in a mess, and she secretly thought that Xie's Fu Zuo was not enough
So even if you are lucky enough to be the master, you are destined to have many twists and turns
In this way, it seems to be a good thing that her daughter was forcibly adopted by Duke Yi. With the name of the Yun family's daughter, she can get some of the Yun family's blessings, otherwise she may not be able to have what she is today.
She suppressed her distracting thoughts and stepped forward to persuade Sui'an: "Your Highness, why are you doing this? Although the imperial doctors all said that there is no cure for the three-corpse worm, but think about it, in ancient times there was nothing that could be done about many diseases. Didn't there be prescriptions later? Your Highness You are still young now, but you have a long time to come!”
Sui'an just sobbed and couldn't listen at all.
"Taking a step back, even if Your Highness cannot have a child, you can still have an heir in the future. With Your Highness's status and reputation, are you afraid that your heir will not be filial to you?" When Mrs. Jiang said this, she observed Sui'an and saw that she was crying even more sadly. , thinking that the key to solving this matter lies with Xie Wuzheng.
He winked at Jiang Ai who was following him, and Jiang Ai walked out quietly knowingly.
Jiang and Sui'an then started to talk, but Sui'an finally got tired of crying and finally stopped crying, but he didn't even have the mood to deal with her. He lay on the couch and choked up a few times, with grief in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
After finally getting through to the office, Xie Wuzheng came back and hurried to the back hall. Before anyone came in, he asked: "Who made Zaoer unhappy and cried for so long?!"
Princess Sui'an's maiden name was Gong Xiangzao.
"Prince-in-law..." Before the maid of honor who had followed him all the way from the Chuihua Gate finished speaking, Sui'an had already climbed up. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes, ran out, threw himself into his arms, and started crying loudly!
Seeing this situation, Jiang quickly ran away.
Jiang Ai had been in the flower hall for a long time. When he saw his master escaping, he hurriedly came up to greet him and whispered: "My maid just brought the message to the prince-in-law. The prince-in-law said that he understood it and told us not to worry."
"It's good that he knows the importance." Jiang said in relief, "He is still young anyway, and the heir is not so impatient. Even if he is pretending, when his position is not yet stable, he still has to pretend to be completely devoted to His Highness. Otherwise, Why does Your Majesty praise him? In the future, our Xie family has a solid background, whether he wants to take a concubine or raise an illegitimate child... As long as His Highness does not lose face too much, we are all his direct elders, how can we deliberately follow him? Can’t make it?”
She was just thinking about Princess Sui'an's sadness. In addition to the regret and anger she couldn't bear, she was probably also worried that the concubine, who had always been in a harmonious relationship, would take a concubine or have an affair.
After all, even if she is the eldest princess, a teenage girl, she has been loving and harmonious with her husband for many years after getting married. Her husband is so clean and self-sufficient that it is enviable. If they have a few more children, they will become a truly enviable couple.
As a result, she couldn't give birth. At this time, there are three unfilial piety and no offspring is the most important. Even if she has a golden branch and beautiful leaves, she can't help but feel confused, right
"That's what the maid said. The prince-in-law is very sensible. After listening to it, he said that this is what he should do. Besides, he also likes His Highness very much." Jiang Ai said, but hesitated to speak.
Mrs. Jiang noticed it and sighed: "The eldest brother gave birth to a good son. This is really a turn of events. Usually I always feel that even if the eldest sister-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law and has many children, so what? Isn't she just being adopted? How can I compete? Even if it comes to children, Feng Huang alone, my sister-in-law's legitimate daughters and concubines combined can't compare! Who knows that at the end of the day, in terms of sons, I will lose after all. Thirteen and ten When it comes to age, who is not older than twenty-one? When it comes to teaching, I think I can only be stronger than my sister-in-law. Even so, thirteen and eight are still confused, but twenty-one understands it very well."
"It's strange that Feng Huang wanted to recommend Eleven, but Twenty-one stood out by relying on his own ability."
"Look, this truly talented person cannot be stopped."
"It's a pity that our fourth bedroom doesn't have something like this?"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Ai just now felt that Xie Wuzheng was much better than Xie Xiliu and Xie Xiaoyu, and was worried that the big house would suppress the fourth house in the future. But seeing Jiang's frustration, he persuaded her in turn He said, "Without the empress in the palace, how can the royal family know the Xie family? Let alone the emperor's daughter and the princess! In the final analysis, no matter how successful the family is, it all depends on the empress! Without the empress, it is nothing!" "
Jiang said: "That's the truth, but you also understand that people's hearts are fickle. Nowadays, the family needs to rely on Feng Huang all the time, and those few unsatisfactory things still have a lot of resentment towards her. Once Xie gets up in the future, Who knows what his face is like? I only have such a direct daughter, how can I let her be turned into a guest after she has contributed so much to the family? Therefore, even if the Xie family wants to prosper, the person who is in charge of the family should be our fourth brother. Yes. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too unfair to Feng Huang?”
They discussed in low voices and left the eldest princess's residence to go back without saying goodbye to Xie Wuzheng and the others. After all, they knew that they would have no time to greet them now.
But at noon the next day, Xie Wuzheng went to Xie Xiliu's house alone to see Jiang, saying that he came to apologize to his elders for yesterday's neglect.
"We are all members of our own family, why is this happening?" Jiang asked nonchalantly, "How is Your Highness doing now?"
"The coaxing till midnight last night finally stopped for the time being." Xie Wuzheng sighed, "I don't know who did it, but how could he attack such an innocent woman like His Highness? The key is that Your Highness is here The palace has never been content with the world!"
Jiang said: "Your Majesty will definitely not be vague about this matter. Don't worry, the palace will definitely give an explanation in the next two days."
"Even so, it will be difficult for Your Highness to give birth." Xie Wuzheng hesitated and said solemnly, "The reason my nephew came to see my aunt is because I have an unkind invitation!"
