After dismissing the palace servants, Gu Zhen became a little suspicious again and called his confidants to discuss: "Are these the dying words left by Yun Jieyu, or is it done by the imperial concubine to use my hands to deal with the Han family?" ?”
It is not that Yun Fenghuang has done this kind of thing before, such as the case with the Eighth Prince. Although there were various doubts and differences in details throughout the whole process, the end result was the same in the eyes of the Queen.
The last person Yun Qingman met before his death was Yun Fenghuang, so the queen couldn't help but think too much about it.
"Your Majesty, you might as well wait and see what happens." After thinking for a moment, a confidant suggested, "If it is the Imperial Concubine who did it, she will not be able to endure it for long. If the Imperial Concubine does nothing, after a while, the Imperial Concubine will probably bring it up. There is no movement over there, so most of them don’t know about it.”
After all, Yun Fenghuang had no reason to be able to deal with the Han family, but he allowed the Han family to continue to live as the wife of the Duke of Yi, with fine clothes, fine food, and slaves.
Everyone knows that the grievances between Concubine Min and Duke Yi are very deep. Concubine Min is the kind of person who avenges her on the spot. Unless there is no other way, she will not wait patiently.
Gu Zhen sighed softly: "Yun Jieyu... it's a pity."
She had never paid attention to this concubine before, and she felt very sorry for her now.
It's not just a pity that Yun Qingman died at such a young age, but a pity that he didn't contact her earlier.
In that case, what might be the use
No longer favored by Duke Yi, she will be Yunzhao's daughter after all.
This kind of blood relationship is not something Yunzhao can deny without paying attention.
If used well, she can completely coerce the Yun family... Unfortunately, Yun Qingman is not Yun Fenghuang, so she cannot take advantage of her identity. Instead, she has lost her will to live because of the indifference of her family.
As a legitimate daughter who was very favored by her mother's family, Gu Zhen might not have been able to empathize with her when she entered the palace. However, after being neglected by the emperor over the years, he could already understand her sorrow.
But in Gu Zhen, even the emperor and his family didn't care for her wholeheartedly. After all, she was the queen.
Even if she is a queen who needs to stay away from the imperial concubine, she is still the phoenix master who presides over the palace mother's rituals and the world.
She also has an adopted son at her knees and can look forward to the future.
Yun Qingman, on the other hand, truly had nothing and was simply waiting to die in the palace.
She might have had another thought when the Fourth Prince was around, but it was completely understandable that she wouldn't be able to survive without the Fourth Prince.
"But it was Yun Jieyu who thought too narrowly." A confidant said from the side, "If she had come to tell the matter to the empress earlier, would the empress have made the decision for her? Even if the fourth prince rarely sees His Majesty, at least he is Your Majesty’s biological flesh and blood.”
Gu Zhen responded lightly, but didn't take it seriously at all.
With Yun Fenghuang's personality, even if the whole palace forgets about Yun Qingman, how can she not be stared at
If Yun Qingman dares to try to trick the middle palace, he is afraid that he will be punished by Yun Fenghuang in the next moment.
But there is something strange here. Yun Qingmanhe should know Yun Fenghuang's hatred for the Han family, so why not tell Yun Fenghuang about the death of the fourth prince while he was alive, but leave a suicide note after his death?
It doesn't make sense to say that this was to make Han unable to refute, because the suicide note was too hidden and could not be discovered by anyone other than those collecting Yun Qingman's body.
It seems that it has not fallen into Yun Fenghuang's hands now.
Judging from the various evidences and suspicions listed in Yun Qingman's suicide note, this concubine had a very delicate mind during her lifetime. Could she be confused here
Gu Zhen vaguely felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it again and again, he decided to hide the news and observe the Xuanqing Palace for a few days before talking.
If this was a trap and someone stood up to expose her, she wouldn't be afraid. After all, Chunjia might not like Duke Yi's wife, but she would definitely protect Duke Yi's house.
She could completely explain that this was to preserve the tranquility of Duke Yi's mansion, so that she could calm down the matter and suppress it.
I believe that even if Chunjia has doubts in his heart, he can only acquiesce to this statement.
In the evening of that day, the news that Concubine Xie was demoted to Jieyu and immediately committed suicide by hanging from a beam became known to all the six palaces.
Because Gu Zhen had something on his mind, he went to see Chunjia and asked him how to deal with it: "Concubine Xie... I also heard about what Yun Jieyu did to the imperial concubine's children before her death. Ordinarily she Such a treacherous act, you deserve to die! But after all, she is the biological daughter of Duke Yi. Concubine Zhenxi Shu died unjustly before, and now the concubine of Duke Yi... I am thinking, should I give you some honors? Quan should look at Yi. The Duke’s face.”
Chunjia frowned slightly when she heard the news of Yun Qingman's death. It was not that she felt sorry for the concubine, but said: "How can she be the same as her sister? Her sister was a noble character, and her early death was purely due to others. She is like this What he did was nothing more than committing suicide out of fear of sin! He didn’t take a good look at the fourth prince, and suffered the pain of losing his son. He didn’t want to repent, but instead vented his anger on innocent people... "
The emperor said indifferently, "If such a person can also receive honors, should I still pursue the Zheng family and others as a common people?"
Gu Zhen hit a nail, pursed his lips slightly, and said immediately: "I understand."
Yun Qingman was such a miserable concubine. Not only was she framed for nothing, but she was not treated well by the king after her death... Gu Zhen thought about it for a moment and felt that if she were Yun Qingman, she wouldn't want to live very much... No, if she were Yun Qingman, she wants to jump up and give Chunjia a few blows!
"There's something." Just when she was cursing and wanted to resign, the emperor stopped her and asked her to arrange some maids for the proton Yixi, pick the ones who are pretty, smart, and can sleep with her.
Gu Zhen was quite surprised and said: "Is it too early? Prince Yixi seems to be only thirteen? Roukun was also at this age when he entered the palace, but she had a miscarriage and couldn't even keep the princess who was born last year. .”
Even if you want to put an informant around Prince Isi, is it a bit of a beast to do so
Chunjia waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "There are differences between men and women. I asked about it. On their grasslands, it is common for female slaves to serve as bed attendants at this age. Some of them are already fathers. Proton came to the Imperial Capital as a guest at a young age. Naturally, we Care more."
"What Your Majesty said is that I will look for a candidate when I get back." Seeing him say this, Gu Zhen said nothing. Anyway, Yixi was not her son, and she didn't feel bad about her body and bones being damaged by being with women too early.
So I returned to Yanfu Palace, and on the one hand I sent people to arrange for Luo Yunjieyu's funeral, and on the other hand I had people gather together and select the young and beautiful palace ladies in the palace who were around fifteen years old.
After asking about the reason, he suggested: "Why don't you also take a look at Jiaofangsi? I heard that everyone in Wei He is good at singing and dancing. The actors in Jiaofangsi have been practicing singing and dancing and other skills for many years, which may make Prince Yixi more popular. ?”
After all, the emperor personally told the queen to worry about this matter. Whether it was out of the desire to make Isi feel at home, or out of the consideration of corrupting the proton with her beauty, he hoped that the person sent there would be favored by Isi, not not interested.
The queen thought it made sense, so she summoned the priest of the monastery and gave her secret instructions.
She didn't tell anyone about this. The palaces noticed the Queen's movements and wondered if the Queen wanted to add someone to Chunjia
When Yun Fenghuang heard this statement, he didn't quite believe it: "Your Majesty has a prosperous heir now, and the head of the palace probably only entered the palace two years ago. Why does the queen need to worry about this?"
Gu Zhen is not a troublemaker like her, so why should she take the initiative to do something that offends the Sixth House
But as the Queen personally saw batch after batch of well-behaved Jiaofang Sijians, this rumor became more and more conclusive, so much so that when Chunjia arrived at Huanhua Hall, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but test it. A few words.
"Where did you think you were?" Chunjia asked with a smile on his face, "I have no shortage of people to serve me now, so what are you going to do with me? Two days ago, the Queen asked the Queen to choose two lovable people for Prince Isi. She may have thought that the Jiaofang Division's A trickster can do something to please Prince Isi."
He smiled and asked Yun Fenghuang, "I've never seen you clinging to me like this before. Why are you so suspicious now?"
"Aren't you afraid of being disliked and jealous by His Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang said lazily, "Otherwise, who wouldn't want to monopolize the King's heart?"
The two joked for a while. The emperor asked about Princess Zhaoqing's leg injury. When she said that the recovery was slow, he sighed and looked disappointed.
But at this moment, a notice came from outside, saying that King Qin had come to pay his respects.
Yun Fenghuang looked at Chunjia, who frowned and finally agreed.
After a while, King Qin came in with some trepidation. Although Chunjia favored his daughter more between King Qin and Zhaoqing, the difference was not big. Usually when he saw his father, he would jump up to him with cheers and then remember to salute, but now he didn't. He came up timidly and bowed, standing beside him with his hands folded, not daring to say a word.
"Why is the emperor here now? Have you finished your homework?" Yun Fenghuang looked pitiful. Between King Qin and Zhao Qing, she must be partial to Zhao Qing. After all, Zhao Qing is her heir, but after all, they are both She was a child she had raised since she was born. Seeing that King Qin had changed from lively and active to the timid and reserved look now, she felt a little pity for him. She waved him to her and asked softly, "Have you visited your sister? What did your sister say?" "
King Qin looked at Chunjia cautiously, then turned around and whispered: "When I go back to my mother and concubine, I have finished my homework. I just went to see my sister. My sister said she wanted to eat iced drinks, and I didn't feel good about it." . But my sister insisted on wanting it, so I wanted to ask my mother and concubine."
"Why do you have to eat ice cream in just a few months?" Before Yun Fenghuang opened his mouth, Chunjia said displeasedly, "Zhaoqing is young and ignorant, and the people he serves are also confused? I don't know how to persuade him!"
Yun Fenghuang winked at him and said: "The child is greedy, just coax him a little. But our King of Qin is becoming more and more like an elder brother. Before, I was afraid that he would be like my sister, and he would eat iced drinks even if he made a fuss. Woolen cloth."
Chunjia was silent for a moment, then said "hmm" and asked King Qin: "Do you know how to do all the homework today? Let me have a look at it."
When King Qin saw that he was talking to him, he was obviously relieved and a little more lively. He said crisply: "I know how to do my homework. I will go and get it for my father!"
Watching him run out quickly, Yun Fenghuang began to wipe away his tears: "It was great that the two children could go in and out at the same time, but now... I'm really afraid that Zhaoqing will hate King Qin when he grows up! He might as well hate me. Well, it’s better to hate me, the mother-in-law, for not taking good care of them than to let their biological siblings have grudges against each other!”
"... How can I blame you for this?" Chunjia sighed and gently advised, "In the final analysis, this is all because of the Han family's failure to teach their daughter well."
As soon as he heard this, he knew that the emperor had feelings for the Yun family after all, and would rather blame the Han family than punish the Yun family.
Yun Fenghuang was secretly disappointed and said: "If I had been more careful, if I hadn't forced Zhao Qing to jump out of the window and skip class..."
"It's also good for her." Chunjia was really sad about Zhaoqing's injury, but he was mainly interested in his eldest son and eldest daughter because of the influence of the imperial concubine. Naturally, he would not let the imperial concubine continue to blame herself at this moment, "Zhaoqing is a Good child, even if it is true...she will understand who is the culprit."
The imperial concubine talked for a while, and King Qin had already picked up his homework in person. The little boy was panting, his cheeks were flushed, but his eyes were bright, and he looked at Chunjia expectantly.
Chunjia took the homework and looked at it carefully, and Yun Fenghuang also looked over. For such a young child, even if the emperor's requirements were strict, the homework would certainly not be very profound. It would be nothing more than drawing red lines and simple arithmetic.
Although he has not grown up due to his strength and stature, and his handwriting is crooked, it can be seen that he has made much progress compared to the previous days.
Under Yun Fenghuang's attention, Chunjia pondered for a while and then gave a few compliments.
King Qin was very happy. He tried hard to suppress his joy but could not. He thanked him and was quietly pushed by the palace maid behind him. He hurriedly said: "My sister has been lying down for the past two days and cannot go to school. I have to teach my sister about her homework." It has also improved a lot.”
The emperor smiled and said: "Yes, as the emperor's heirs, you should be so eager to learn, so as not to lose the royal reputation."
After a few words, he sent him off to play with Zhao Qing, then turned around and asked Yun Fenghuang, "Didn't you say that Zhao Qing was left to her own devices while she was recovering from her injuries? Why do you still have schoolwork?"
Yun Fenghuang explained: "It was originally like this, but maybe because he and King Qin have been playing together, Zhaoqing had two days of leisure and saw King Qin doing his homework every day, so he asked for the same thing."
Although this daughter is not related to her by blood, she has inherited her pinching temper.
If you are tired of studying, you are really tired of studying, and if you are strong, you are really strong.
If King Qin and his brothers and sisters did not go to school together, Zhaoqing would be able to recover from his injuries with peace of mind.
But I heard that King Qin and the others were studying in school, so Zhaoqing couldn't sustain his injuries.
Yun Fenghuang also guessed what the child was thinking: My father, the emperor, mother and concubines all value our studies. If I stay here to recuperate, and they take the opportunity to work hard and surpass me in knowledge later, what if my father, emperor, mother and concubines don't like it? What should I do if I only like them
So even if a leg is broken, she can't relax!
Well, when she wanted to be lazy in school, she thought that if she was no longer so outstanding, her parents, brothers and sister-in-law would prefer the gentle and considerate Xie Fenghuan, and she immediately became more motivated!
At this moment, he chose the nicest wording possible to say to Chunjia, and then sighed again, "This child's temperament is nothing to begin with. After all, as an emperor's daughter and the eldest daughter of His Majesty, it is normal to be arrogant. But now... I I’m really scared.”
Chunjia thought the same way. If Zhaoqing was good and arrogant, there would be no problem. Golden branches and jade leaves were inherently noble.
But the leg injury is not healing well, so...
He pondered for a long time, and finally said: "It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and now even the Taiyuan Hospital can't tell, let's wait."
