Yun Fenghuang returned to Huanhua Hall in the evening. When she came back, Chunjia had been here for a while and was coaxing Zhaoqing in the side hall.
Zhaoqing was not in good spirits. Without his unruly strength, the little girl's thin and soft voice sounded very endearing: "...Father, my legs hurt so much. I'm in so much pain that I can't even think of doing anything." ”
"Then don't do it." Chun Jia said with pity, "Mian'er will focus on recovering from his injuries first. If anything happens, we'll talk about it after the injury heals, eh?"
"What should I do if the injury is healed but still hurts?" Zhaoqing was not satisfied with the answer and continued to act coquettishly, "Father, if my son's legs keep hurting, can he stop doing his homework?"
Outside, Yun Fenghuang twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that his daughter should not be in so much pain.
Otherwise, where would the thought come from, and now you are still thinking about taking advantage of the situation to be lazy
But when he thought of the imperial doctor's words, his expression became cold.
Inside, Chunjia had the same idea and said with a smile: "How can there be a royal princess who doesn't know a few Chinese characters? You are not allowed to mess around. But if you are a good boy, we can discuss reducing the amount of schoolwork in the future."
Zhaoqing is a little disappointed. She is too young, and no one dares to tell her about the possible consequences of being disabled. She hasn't thought about it that much yet.
I felt that my father, emperor, mother and concubine would be particularly talkative in a short period of time after the fall. This was a good time to propose not to do my homework.
Now that he couldn't convince Chunjia, he suddenly became depressed.
After a while, Chunjia walked out softly and saw Yun Fenghuang standing in the corridor, half-hiding his face, looking thoughtfully into the court, feeling sad, and whispered: "The child has just fallen asleep, let's go Let’s talk about it in the main hall.”
"What did Yun Jieyu say?" After sitting down in the main hall, Chunjia pinched her eyebrows, waved back, and asked directly.
Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyes: "It's just some old memories. If she doesn't tell me, I don't even know. She hates me so much."
Seeing Chunjia raise her eyebrows, she showed a wry smile, "She said that if there is an afterlife, she would like to be born in a family where her father dotes on her mother, and her brothers and sisters take pity on her. She will never be like now, with no one to care for her, no one to love her, and all alone. , life is meaningless.”
"She does." Chunjia sneered, "Is she worthy?"
Yun Fenghuang looked at his angry look and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the emperor's anger was related to Yun Qingman's previous disobedience, it could also be seen that he really felt sorry for Zhao Qing.
If he hadn't found a scapegoat to take the blame, the anger might have been directed at him.
"Looking at her, I don't want to live anymore." Yun Fenghuang sighed softly, showing a look of loneliness, "So I don't want to talk to her too much... It's just, Zhao Qing..."
She said sadly, "She hates me, and she comes here because of me, so why take it out on my child?! In fact, doesn't I hate her? But I didn't say what I did to the fourth prince. When she was born How can I feel better physically and mentally for the fourth prince? But in order to make the fourth prince live a better life, I gave her the title of Concubine Xie... It is a pity that the fourth prince is gone, but this is not my fault. Why should she harm Zhao? Qing, or should I borrow King Qin's hand?! How old is King Qin? The two children are so ignorant now that they don't know the importance. How will they get along with each other when they grow up in the future?!"
After saying this, he started to cry.
Chunjia believed her words very much, because Yun Fenghuang had previously proposed that the emperor's heirs of the same age should accept the emperor's personal involvement in their studies. In the emperor's view, it was because she had no biological flesh and blood that she pitied all the emperors. Heir.
Since the imperial concubine is such a concubine who is particularly friendly to the emperor's heirs, Yun Qingman's plot to murder King Qin and Zhaoqing for the fourth prince certainly hurt her heart.
His face darkened, he put his arms around Yun Fenghuang, and comforted her softly: "This bastard is sinister and vicious, and she deliberately stabbed you in the heart! However, Zhaoqing is still young. I will look for famous doctors for her, and she will be fine." Damn it. Don't let her get distracted by this, won't it make her proud?"
"This is also because I am incompetent." Yun Fenghuang leaned on his chest, charmingly, thinking quickly whether she had any flaws, and whispered, "Although she was also a concubine in the Huanqing Palace, but before and after After only staying together for a few months, he sealed Jieyu. Even so, he still kept a back-up in front of me. It was in vain that I thought I was smart. Now that I saw my child acting like this, I finally realized that it turned out that I was also He’s just a stupid person!”
This is the most difficult thing to convince people that Yun Qingman is the real culprit behind the scenes, because everyone recognizes that Yun Fenghuang has extraordinary methods and is the kind of powerful character who can only harm others but no one can harm her.
And what about Yun Qingman
To be honest, the harem almost forgot about her these past two years.
Although his background was not low, when he entered the palace at the beginning of the year, he and the late Xue Xiaoge were among the new batch of newcomers who had not yet become famous before. He quickly fell out of favor.
Even being able to conceive the fourth prince was probably due to the unexpected death of Concubine Zhenxi Shu, and Chunjia needed to comfort the Duke of Yi, so she frequently visited her.
After the fourth prince was born, he was basically raised until death.
For such a master to say that she could manipulate people in Xuanqing Palace and trick the two brothers, King Qin and Zhaoqing, no one in the Sixth Palace would believe it.
Chunjia is not stupid.
But he really believed it now, and comforted Yun Fenghuang: "How can I blame you? This vicious woman was Zhenxi's half-sister after all. Zhenxi passed away suddenly, and many of his confidants all turned to this person afterwards. Poisonous woman... Originally I thought they just wanted to protect the fourth prince, and didn't care. Who knew that they would become so crazy that they would do such a thing... It's my fault that I didn't cut off her wings early. From now on, Zhaoqing will be peaceful and safe. It's okay, if she takes it seriously..."
Chunjia paused here and sighed, "I will make it clear to her when the time comes. I can't blame you."
Yun Fenghuang silently thanked Concubine Zhenxi, but still looked very sad, and said with a forced smile: "What does this have to do with Your Majesty? Your Majesty is busy with everything. I am in the palace and have good food and clothing all day long. I only take care of a few children, but... Or let something go wrong under their noses, no matter how you look at it, this is all my responsibility."
That night, the emperors and concubines rushed to take responsibility for each other, but in the end they threw Princess Zhaoqing aside. They felt sorry for each other's difficulties.
The next day, the news that King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing were murdered spread throughout the Sixth Palace. The concubines were surprised and sent people to visit them one after another, with some words of distress and lamentation.
It's just that most people are a little happy in their hearts.
Concubine Min has been invincible in all six palaces since she entered the palace. The only thing that can help people find balance is not to have this problem.
But the emperor couldn't resist his partiality and gave her his eldest son and daughter to raise. Now something went wrong with the two children. Even if Chunjia didn't blame him, the imperial concubine was still very shameless.
Moreover, Chunjia loved Zhaoqing the most among her children. Something went wrong with the eldest princess. If she really became disabled, other princesses might have a chance to compete for favor.
Xuan Zhaoyi, who had never cared much for the second princess, sent a lot of nourishing medicinal materials to Xuanqing Palace, and sighed with compassion: "How could a good princess become like this? But Wangji has her own destiny, and she has It’s better to have a close call.”
Turning around, he ordered the man beaming with joy, "Teach the second princess more from now on, and ask her to visit the eldest princess more often."
He lowered his voice and said, "When His Majesty passes by."
Even if she can't replace the eldest princess, she can at least show that she is a good mother-in-law and goddaughter. The second emperor's girlfriend loves her eldest sister, doesn't she
The concubines all had the same idea, so everyone outside the palace knew about it at once, and they all rushed to feel sorry for Princess Zhaoqing.
What's more embarrassing is Yi Xing'en. As a biological mother, but not an adopted mother, she cares or doesn't care or doesn't... Even because she just offended Yun Fenghuang, she doesn't dare to hide her illness.
Otherwise, if someone said that Yi Shi was well and sick, wouldn't he be too distressed, and Yun Fenghuang would take care of her the next day
Fortunately, Yun Qingman helped her.
I just heard that when King Qin and brother Zhaoqing were plotted by Concubine Yuan Xie and Zhaoqing's injuries worsened, the Sixth Palace didn't take it seriously.
It wasn't just once or twice that Emperor Chunjia, who was wise and powerful, acted like he was blind when facing the imperial concubine. From Queen Mother Yuan down, everyone was used to it.
There were also people who secretly lamented that Yun Qingman was pitiful. He asked for a handkerchief when he was in the boudoir. What kind of bad thing could he find? After finding a master like Yun Fenghuang, when they entered the palace together, it was clear that Yun Qingman was the one who took the lead. Yun Fenghuang was just the last one to make up the numbers.
As a result, she came from behind and turned against the guests. Even Duke Yi and his wife were trembling with fear.
It was so easy to give birth to the fourth prince, and I was looking forward to it. The fourth prince died at a young age. Now, I have to be dragged out by the imperial concubine as a shield. It is really miserable for a concubine.
So the queen sent people to the North Palace to check with Yun Qingman about the whole story. After learning that she had committed suicide by hanging from a beam, she sincerely lamented and thought about whether to give Chunjia a good burial, at least because she had died four years ago. In the face of the prince
Then I saw that the person sent there was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" the queen asked, raising her eyebrows.
The palace servant whispered: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xie... no, it's Yun Jieyu. The suicide note left by Yun Jieyu is sealed with wax. The slaves dare not touch it without permission. Do you want to bring it up now?"
Gu Zhenxin said he didn't know whether it was Yun Qingman or Yun Fenghuang who stayed behind.
She said casually: "Just take it up and have a look."
Gu Zhen's whole body felt bad after looking at him!
Yun Qingman stated in his suicide note that he was the mastermind behind the murder of King Qin and Zhaoqing in order to take revenge on Yun Fenghuang.
but…
She then began to target her aunt, Mrs. Wing Guogong!
And the sentence at the beginning is "The Han family plotted to kill my son", which means that she can't think of targeting the Qin brothers and sisters. The main reason is that the fourth prince is gone, so the Han family is the culprit!
As for why the Han family murdered the fourth prince, the reason was very simple. In order to make Prince Qin, the prince named Concubine Zhenxi Shu, the only grandson of the Duke of Yi State!
Because although Yun Qingman was not favored by her mother's family, and even the fourth prince was not taken seriously, after all, King Qin and Concubine Zhenxi were not related by blood, they were just heirs by name. Therefore, the Han family made several plans for the King of Qin, but they were all rejected by Duke Yi. The Han family believed that it was because the four princes had divided the weight of the King of Qin that Duke Yi Guo refused to pay for the King of Qin.
At this point, Gu Zhen could still continue to suspect Yun Fenghuang's conspiracy.
After all, everyone knows the grudge between Yun Fenghuang and the Yun family.
The problem is that there are a lot of evidence and details written at the back of the suicide note, proving that after the fourth prince left, Yun Qingman spent a lot of time investigating the matter and found a lot of evidence pointing to Mrs. Yi Guogong.
But she expressed despair. Whether it was herself or the fourth prince, their status in Chunjia and in the eyes of Duke Yi was too low, and their weight was too light. Even if there was a quarrel, there would probably be nothing they could do to Duke Yi's wife.
Even because many of the people around her were the former concubines of Concubine Zhenxi, she might have died before the incident got too big.
Therefore, in order to avenge her own flesh and blood, and also to avenge Yun Fenghuang, she persuaded the old people left by Concubine Zhenxi to plan a plot against King Qin and Zhaoqing.
"...Before Yun Jieyu left, the imperial concubine went there." After reading it, Gu Zhen's heart surged for a moment, and he ordered someone to call the palace servant who had gone to ask questions before and asked, "Does the imperial concubine know about this suicide note?"
"Returning to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine should not know?" The palace man thought for a while and said, "When I went there, I found that the doors and windows of Yun Jieyu's hanging beam house were tightly closed and locked from the inside. , it was impossible to get in from the outside. After careful inspection, the slave girl confirmed that there was no way to enter normally, so she had someone break open the door. And this suicide note was hidden by Yun Jieyu. According to the slave girl's observation, although Yun Jieyu's body was struggling, But those were all caused by normal hanging of the beam, and there were no signs of being forced. The imperial doctor also looked at it and said that Yun Jieyu was very conscious when she hung the beam, and she was not unconscious. "
Gu Zhen narrowed her eyes. She also felt that Yun Fenghuang probably didn't know about such a letter.
Otherwise, wouldn't the feud between Yun Fenghuang and Duke Yi Guo be started immediately to criticize the Han family
She didn't believe that Yun Qingman had the ability to do anything in Xuanqing Palace. She thought that Yun Qingman might have been used as a shield by the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine did not expect that Yun Qingman also had plans to take advantage of the imperial concubine... This The suicide note was probably what Yun Qingman wanted Yun Fenghuang to get.
Yun Qingman was not favored, and he was surrounded by people like Concubine Zhenxi Shu. Even if he suspected the Han family, he would be helpless.
He could only hand over the evidence to Yun Fenghuang through this opportunity of being framed.
Lend Yun Fenghuang's hand to give Han a ride.
But Yun Qingman didn't expect that Yun Fenghuang was so disgusted with her, and that the queen's affairs were not handled by Yun Fenghuang, but by the queen.
So this letter came into the hands of the queen.
So now the question is, what should you do to maximize your benefits
Yun Fenghuang had a grudge against the Han family and wanted to kill the Han family and then be happy, but Gu Zhen and the Han family had no grievances or grudges...
Considering the Gu family's current situation and the emperor's trust in the Yun family... Gu Zhen narrowed his eyes and calmly ordered the palace servants in front of him who were still waiting for instructions: "Forgot this suicide note, Yun Jieyu committed suicide out of fear of guilt, leaving nothing behind. Words and phrases, do you understand?"
