Chen Jing was shocked when he heard this and immediately knelt down: "Slave... I am negligent, please punish me!"
He was secretly annoyed, because the news that Princess Zhaoqing might be bad at work really frightened everyone up and down. In addition, Zhao and Yi Xingen were getting involved, so Chen Jing was busy suppressing the news. For a moment, he even ignored how Yi Xingen, who had already moved to another palace, knew the news that Huanhua Palace was blocked so quickly
At this moment, when Yun Fenghuang mentioned it, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat!
"Come here with Yi Shi." Yun Fenghuang stared at him coldly for a moment, then flicked his sleeves and ordered in a deep voice.
After a while, Yi Xing'en came into the palace to pay her respects. She had not shown her pregnancy yet, but her waist was still slim.
She was originally recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Sixth Palace. After living alone in the first palace, her status was different and her clothes were much more gorgeous. Now that Pingting came, her appearance was truly stunning, making many palace people who were originally beautiful feel ashamed.
Her attitude towards Yun Fenghuang was still respectful, and she did not care about her pregnancy at all. When she arrived at His Highness, she knelt down and greeted him softly.
"Get up." Yun Fenghuang glanced at her lightly and asked lazily, "You have always been a smart person, and I am too lazy to talk in circles with you, so I just want to ask you, who gave you the news today?"
"..." Yi Xing'en stood up straight. After hearing this, her expression was startled for a moment. Then she struggled a little and knelt down again, "I know that I am guilty. I used to have a good relationship with the side hall Dai. I am favored by the empress, and after becoming a concubine, I occasionally have contact with Dai. It was Dai who gave me the news today. I am worried that the empress is worried about the two young highnesses, and is in a bad mood. However, she is clumsy and tongue-tied and cannot help the empress. After sharing my worries, I sent some things over to chat with you to relieve my boredom."
Yun Fenghuang thought about it for a while and then remembered that this Dai was a young girl from a poor family who entered the palace in the same batch as Yi Xingen and others. Of course, she was also a beautiful and charming woman who was selected through many layers of selection. However, there were several bright beauties in the palace. Yun Fenghuang Feng Huang is one of them. Although this Dai family has more opportunities to meet the emperor by virtue of his position as head of the family, he has never been in Chunjia's eyes and has not even slept with him so far.
The current position is Yu Wan, but Yun Fenghuang promoted her casually out of pity for her having been in the palace for many years.
Dai has no favors, so in order to survive in the palace, he naturally flatters his concubines.
If she had a choice, she would of course be willing to directly please Yun Fenghuang, the leader. However, Yun Fenghuang was surrounded by many attendants, and was also surrounded by Yi Xingen, Qu Hongzhuan and others. Dai Shi did not dare to go with these two people in the same batch. They wanted to compete with the best, so they settled for the second best and tried to please the Yi family and the Qu family.
All this happened under Yun Fenghuang's eyes, of course she knew about it.
But I didn't care about it before, so now I sneered slightly: "Dai is so enthusiastic about informing you of the news in a timely manner when we have occasional interactions. It seems that what I am doing as the head of the palace is really unpopular!"
Yi Xingen's body trembled clearly as she knelt on the ground, and she choked with sobs: "I know I'm guilty!"
She was born well, but with such a weak posture at this moment, she looked even more pitiful and pitiful.
"Bring Dai here." However, Yun Fenghuang only glanced at her coldly, with no mercy in his eyes. He held up the hairpin on his temples, sat back a little, and casually ordered Chen Jing, "Send Dai to come up."
However, Dai Shi failed to bring him over.
This is not because she dared to disobey Yun Fenghuang's order: "... The slave was ordered to tell Dai Yuwan that she had just knocked over the tea cup and put it on her skirt. She was afraid that she would be disobedient in front of the queen and wanted to change her clothes. The slave looked at her. It’s really indecent to have tea stains on the moon-white skirt, so I agreed.”
I originally thought that if I were in Xuanqing Palace, I wouldn't be able to escape even if I ran out through the window.
As a result, Dai did not escape, but went to the backyard through the window and threw himself into a well.
When Yi Xingen heard this, she almost collapsed to the ground. With Yun Fenghuang's temper, just bribed Dai and tipped her off about Princess Zhaoqing, which was enough to make her angry.
What's more, Dai would rather die than betray her
She was an old subordinate whom Yun Fenghuang took care of, but she trained a concubine who was also under Yun Fenghuang to be so loyal. What does it mean
What do you want to do
Yi Xingen was in a state of confusion for a moment and kowtowed desperately to explain that although she had a good relationship with Dai, she had never asked her to spy on Huanhua Palace: "I don't dare to hide this from your empress. After I become a concubine, I still keep in contact with Dai, mainly because I am worried that if I leave Huanhua Palace, there will be other concubines in front of you to please you. If the empress forgets me, then I will not be able to live in this palace. ?”
"Therefore, I will give Dai Shi money and silk in private and ask her to pay attention to who can be supported by the empress. If the opportunity is right, I may come to greet you from time to time."
This is half true and half false. Although she is the most beautiful, the emperor's favor in front of Chunjia is not particularly generous. Now, let alone arm wrestling with the master Yun Fenghuang, she has left the protection of Yun Fenghuang. , he died in minutes without knowing how.
Therefore, Yi Xingen still attaches great importance to Yun Fenghuang's favoritism, especially when she had not left Xuanqing Palace before, she had not been able to sit back and relax, but she had always had Qu Hongzhuan as her opponent.
As a smart person, she indeed never mentioned Zhaoqing to Dai Shi.
But Dai Shi had benefited from her, so how could he not tell her about Zhao Qing
Originally, if Dai Shi was living well, Yi Xing'en could still confront her, and even speak smarter and shift the blame away from her.
But now
There is no proof of death. Yi Xingen put herself in her shoes and thought about it. She felt that if she were Yun Fenghuang, she wouldn't believe it. She couldn't help but burst into tears: "Please have mercy on me! Please have mercy on me! I know I was wrong. I will never do it again." Dare you! Your Majesty, I really didn’t betray you, I’m just afraid of being left out... Everything about me comes from your Majesty, how dare you do something that Your Majesty doesn’t like?! I really just want your Majesty not to forget me Body!!!”
Yun Fenghuang looked at her indifferently for a moment, then sneered and said: "You have always been loved by me since you entered the palace. First of all, you are beautiful, and His Majesty likes you somewhat. You are not the kind who can't help you." Secondly, you are sensible and make me feel comfortable with your words and deeds. As a similar person, I am naturally willing to support you. I thought you have always been so sensible and considerate... Then I will promote you to be the ninth concubine. From now on, even if you are the concubine, It doesn’t matter. But now you have only been a concubine for a few days, and you dare to play such a trick under my nose... It seems that I have really cultivated my character too much in the past two years, so much so that even you dare to play with me. Eyes of mind?!”
This is the person who followed her as soon as she entered the palace. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a direct descendant!
As a concubine who left the Xuanqing Palace, it was understandable for Yun Fenghuang that Yi Xingen kept two eyes in the Xuanqing Palace to spy on the leader's movements.
After all, she still has to look at her own face, so she should always understand her current situation, and at least make sure she doesn't bump into her and talk about things when she's in a bad mood, right
If she didn't have this bit of cleverness, Yun Fenghuang wouldn't have arranged the position of the ninth concubine.
However, this kind of thing can only be tacitly understood in private.
As a noble concubine, she recognized that if the water was clear, there would be no fish, while Yi Xingen had to have clean hands and feet so that no one could see her spying on the throne.
Since Yi Xingen's flaws have been exposed today, it is impossible for Yun Fenghuang to continue to be confused.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be encouraging these people below to spy on her all the time? !
Yun Fenghuang stared at Yi Xingen who was prostrate on the ground and was pleading with all his strength. His thoughts were racing. Such a beauty, from a palace concubine to one of the nine concubines, even though she had good qualifications, after all, she had spent a lot of effort on her. Effort.
Especially since she was pregnant.
It would be a pity if it were dealt with directly.
After all, after putting in so much effort, she got nothing but Princess Zhaoqing.
and…
If this matter was what she expected, Yi Xingen might have been tricked.
The imperial concubine's eyes flashed, and she finally said slowly: "According to my temper, I will never keep a lowly maid like you who harbors evil intentions!"
Ignoring Yi Xing'en's trembling, she continued indifferently, "But... I love Zhao Qing very much. Seeing that Zhao Qing suffered a serious crime this time, I will spare you this!"
"I thank you for your grace!!!" Yi Xingen choked and kowtowed.
Yun Fenghuang fiddled with the tea cup in his hand, put it on the table, and said quietly: "There will be no next time!"
Yi Xingen kowtowed heavily: "I must remember this in my heart, I dare not or forget it!"
Of course, it was impossible to let her go so easily. After Yun Fenghuang sent the people away, he asked the Qing people to go to Chongchang Palace and report to the queen that Xiuyi Yishi had behaved in front of her as an excuse to demote her. Jieyu.
"Yi Shi has always been very attentive to serving the imperial concubine, how could she be disobedient?" Gu Zhen asked curiously, "Moreover, the imperial concubine is famous for her generosity towards the people in her palace, so would she do such a thing?"
Qing Ren just laughed: "Perhaps Yi Xiuyi was overthinking during pregnancy, so she was confused."
Therefore, rumors in the harem believed that Yi Xingen was so proud that she was pregnant again, and she showed her arrogance in front of the imperial concubine.
For a moment, everyone laughed at her for being confused. Didn't Concubine De give birth to two children, and the second one was a prince? What was her background and status? Didn't she still treat her respectfully in front of the concubine
Yi Xing'en is just more beautiful, but she doesn't get any special attention from the emperor, so she dares to provoke Concubine Min. She has had too many good times, and has she forgotten the bloody turmoil on the way to the imperial concubine's rise to power
But after the teasing was over, there were still some people who extended their olive branches to Yi Xingen privately, trying to see if they could bring this person to their camp
Even if she can't be used to trick Yun Fenghuang, she can still be an eyeliner, right
Yi Xingen was eager to regain Yun Fenghuang's favor at the moment, so she was not polite at all when she saw this, and reported them all to Huanhua Palace.
Yun Fenghuang has no time to deal with these people now. Anyway, she has too many opponents in the harem before. So there is no rush. At this moment, it is more important to clean up the family: "Say it again, you don't know?"
"... I... I am guilty!" The one kneeling on His Highness's side now is Qu Hongzhuan, who was secretly summoned. She was originally very calm and aggrieved, but after being stared at by Yun Fenghuang for a moment with a knife-like gaze, she ended up... However, under pressure, she crawled over crying and reached out to grab the hem of Yun Fenghuang's skirt, "Empress, I was confused for a moment, so I used Dai's family to force her to inform Yi, but Dai and Yi were on good terms. It is also true that I have been conveying news about Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing privately from time to time, empress! I am just adding fuel to the flames and have never framed her out of thin air!"
Yun Fenghuang's face turned pale.
However, she felt very calm in her heart. From the time when she was still a concubine of the Qu family and Yi family, she had consciously supported them at the same time and deliberately condoned the competition and tit-for-tat between them, in order to keep them in check and balance.
Now Yi Xing'en is happy again after giving birth to Princess Zhaoqing, and judging from the number of times she has been favored, Chunjia loves the Yi family more than the Qu family.
In this way, even if Qu Hongzhuan himself doesn't take action and Yun Fenghuang is free, he will try to suppress Yi Xing'en, lest the concubine quietly becomes a bad influence and her wings become stiff and difficult to use.
Now that Qu Hongzhuan had taken the initiative, she felt relaxed and happy.
However, although Qu's move was in line with Yun Fenghuang's expectations, he still had to beat him.
Otherwise, Qu Hongzhuan thought that he was powerful enough to do tricks in Xuanqing Palace without concealing it from Yun Fenghuang. Don't think that he would be able to hang out in the palace without this old master, and cause trouble for nothing. .
Therefore, seeing that she was afraid now, he scolded and taught her a lesson with a stern attitude, and punished her to copy scriptures for himself to pray for blessings, so he gave up.
"Everyone is worried!" After Qu Hongzhuan left, she took a sip of the tea from the Qingren and sighed, "Well, is there anything else at the moment? If not, I'll go Just look at Zhaoqing."
I wonder if this cheap daughter is still happy now
Thinking of how proud she was after breaking her leg last time, Yun Fenghuang twitched the corner of her mouth, and immediately a hint of gloom came over her.
Even if her thoughts in raising this daughter are not pure, she is still the child she has always had, and there is nothing she particularly hates about her so far. If she is such a beautiful and beautiful little princess, if she becomes a cripple, then... Not to mention how to explain it to Chunjia, Yun Fenghuang himself felt aggrieved.
She was such a competitive person that she couldn't bear the fact that King Qin and Zhao Qing were lagging behind others in their homework, let alone having trouble walking? !
Thinking of the incident where Mr. Xie Wu was involved in bandits not long ago, Yun Fenghuang pinched his brows before walking into the side hall where Zhao Qing was.
In the side hall, this time there was no liveliness like last time.
The palace servants who served were all very gentle. When they saw the noble concubine coming in, they knelt down and saluted hurriedly, their movements and expressions showing caution.
Yun Fenghuang didn't hear Zhao Qing's movement. He took two steps forward and saw Zhao Qing sleeping between the quilts with his eyes closed through the half-draped curtain.
This little girl has completely inherited the beauty of her biological father and mother. In terms of appearance, it can be said that she is more beautiful than blue. Even though she is still young and has not yet grown, her features are already picturesque and her skin is as radiant as snow.
At this moment, her little face is pale, her eyebrows are thicker and her eyelashes are thicker, her lips are black, and she is indescribably pitiful and cute.
"...Is he still awake?" Yun Fenghuang sat down by the couch and gently shook her hand outside. The palm of his hand was warm like a child, but the back of it was cold.
She covered it for a while, feeling her little hands became warm, and then asked softly.
The palace attendant who served Zhao Qing said quickly: "His Royal Highness woke up just now and said it hurt. He also asked when the empress would come... Then he took medicine and continued to sleep."
Then he said, "The imperial doctor said that your highness wants to sleep now, so it would be better if you sleep more so that your bones will grow faster."
Yun Fenghuang put Zhaoqing's arms under the quilt, told the palace people to serve him attentively, got up and walked outside, and then asked Chen Jing: "Have you thoroughly investigated the fall? Is it confirmed that it was an accident caused by a fight between two children? ?”
Although I knew that if there were any doubts, Chen Jing would have said it long ago.
But after all, she has come into the palace to trick people so many times. Who knows if others are taking revenge on her children
