The boat capsized
Yun Fenghuang raised her eyebrows. She guessed that something had happened if Empress Dowager Yuan and her entourage had not returned for a long time. She originally thought they had met the remnants of the rebels, but she didn't expect that the ship had capsized
I immediately regretted it: Why didn’t I think of this before
If I had known that in the past midnight, I would have found an opportunity to avoid the eyes and ears of the two Queen Mothers and do some tricks on the only ship. By then...
Well, it may not be possible to hide it from Chunjia’s ears then.
Anyway, the boat capsized and it was good that both the queen mother and the twelfth prince fell into the water. But I don’t know what the drowning situation was like. Can they be saved
Of course Yun Fenghuang hoped not to be rescued.
But a look of shock immediately appeared on his face: "But I don't know how the boat capsized? Was it because there were too many people? Or did the man who rowed the boat lose his hand? I see that there are no waves on the lake today?"
The waiter whispered: "It seems to be due to people. How is it specific? I haven't served at the lake before. I haven't witnessed it with my own eyes, but I don't dare to say nonsense."
"Thank you." Yun Fenghuang thought that the inside story was disgraceful and stopped asking further questions. He ordered people to go in and carry the two princes out. He told them not to move after getting on the ship, and then they walked onto the deck together.
Because of Empress Dowager Yuan's experience, not only Yun Fenghuang's master and servants, but also the waiters and rowers who came to pick her up were also extremely cautious. However, there was nothing wrong with their business. The queen was peacefully at the small pier not far from Taichu Palace. Ashore.
After landing, I saw that there were many more guards patrolling around than usual, all of them expressionless and murderous, and the atmosphere was very tense.
When the two children saw this, they couldn't help but hesitate to move forward.
It was Yun Fenghuang who went up to comfort him for a few words before he was carried by the palace servants and they entered the Taichu Palace together.
The Taichu Palace was also heavily guarded, with three steps and one post and five steps and one sentry. There were many people, but you could hear needles in silence.
Although the palace people who occasionally passed by were in a hurry, they made no sound and did not dare to make a sound.
Yun Fenghuang and his party were led to a side hall where the guards were particularly grand. Before they even entered, they could already smell the smell of freshly brewed medicine.
She gathered her emotions for a moment before stepping in with her two children.
Passing around the 20-fold glass screen inlaid with mica stones and pictures of ladies on spring outing, they saw Chunjia with a gloomy face, sitting alone in the small hall outside to receive guests. The door of the carved moon cave not far away was hung with a bead curtain, blocking the view and making it difficult to see what was inside. In the middle of the situation, there seemed to be only a few people waiting inside.
"Is your Majesty okay?" Yun Fenghuang stepped forward and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, what's on your face...?"
Chunjia had already taken off his armor at this time, changed into normal clothes after taking a bath, and restrained the evil spirit from killing enemies at night. Although he looked unhappy, if it hadn't been for the scratch on his cheek by a stray arrow, he would have looked as if he had been the same as before for many years. A very ordinary night... Even though there was some disturbance, it was nothing major.
"The two children should be sent back to the harem first." Seeing the imperial concubine coming in with the seventh and tenth princes, the emperor's eyes flashed and he said gently, "I have nothing to do."
The tenth prince was not familiar with him and was eager to go back to see Queen Gu as soon as possible. He even smiled a little when he heard this.
Although the seventh prince was not as accustomed to quarrels with the emperor as King Qin and Zhao Qing were, his father's status and closeness in their hearts was not that of his mother and concubine, who lived with them day and night, but there was no barrier between them, so they felt a little disappointed after hearing these words.
After all, his father, emperor, mother and concubines were all here, so he didn't really want to leave.
Yun Fenghuang coaxed him in a low voice for a while, and then the seventh prince turned around and was led away.
He looked at Chunjia frequently, as if he wanted to give him a hug.
However, Chunjia ignored him and didn't even pay much attention to him. Instead, he looked at the tenth prince thoughtfully.
Yun Fenghuang noticed it and was furious. Although she didn't know if the twelfth prince was not very good, so Chunjia paid special attention to the tenth prince... However, with her strong-willed temperament and the prince she carefully raised under her knees, Even if he is not his biological son, it will not work if he is compared to him by the tenth prince in front of him!
She moved her steps and walked up to the emperor, calmly blocking his gaze from looking at the back of the tenth prince, and said with a slight choke: "What's going on? I heard that when the two queen mothers and the twelfth prince came back...? "
"The Imperial City Secretary is investigating, Ahuang, don't worry." Chunjia looked away, looked at the imperial concubine, and pointed to the embroidered stool beside him for her to sit on, "Perhaps no one in the palace has ever experienced anything like this, please hurry up. Something went wrong when we arrived at the dock. Both Queen and Twelve drowned. Fortunately, they were just overly frightened, so it was nothing serious... They are all resting inside now."
Was it an accident
Yun Fenghuang thought in his mind that although Taiye Pool was vast, it could accommodate many boats. But after all, it is an important place in the palace. Except for the empress dowager, empress dowager, emperor, empress, and ordinary concubines and heirs, if they are not favored enough, they will not dare to easily ask for a visit.
Therefore, those who operate the oar palace must be experienced with many years of experience before they can take up the post.
In this case, even if you are shocked by the palace change, will it capsize the boat
It’s not a stormy weather!
She didn't quite believe it.
Most likely there is something inside.
But who did this
Things happened suddenly in the palace last night, and there was no guard up or down.
Who was able to manipulate Zhou Ji, who was able to connect two queen mothers and a legitimate prince in the middle of the night, or... someone knew about the palace change early in the morning, and even knew that the emperor would bring important people to the island, so he did it in advance
"It's good that the two empress dowagers and the twelfth prince are fine." Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart and said softly, "This half of the night is longer than half of my life! I regret this. It’s time to get pregnant, otherwise, I can accompany His Majesty into battle to kill the enemy!”
Chunjia couldn't help but laugh: "As long as Ah Huang is willing, I don't need you, a weakling, to stand in front of me."
Judging from his expression, the situation of the three people on board was not serious. Yun Fenghuang talked to him about the situation for a while, felt sorry for the scratches on the emperor's face, and finally asked to go in and take a look.
The emperor casually agreed, so she got up and went inside, and found three beds lined up inside, two of which were temporarily moved from other places. The Empress Dowager Yuan, the Empress Dowager Qu, and the Twelve Princes are still unconscious. The attendants are huddled on the side, staring attentively without saying a word, and even the salutes are silent.
After Yun Fenghuang waved his hand as a courtesy, he went to the couch one by one to look around and sighed softly.
Is this really an accident? So these people drowned when they were near the pier of Taichu Palace, so they were rescued in time. Is this not a big problem
If you are harmed by others, will you be so lucky
Or were the people behind the scenes so stupid that they gave them a chance to survive
She was a little suspicious of Gu Zhen...
Are you worried that the Twelve Princes are also on board? So when we were about to land, we bet that the two queen mothers were old and that the twelfth prince could be rescued, but in the end, all three of them were safe
This idiot!
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that he couldn't see Chunjia's thoughts clearly, so it was okay to worry about the two legitimate princes and his successor.
To plot against the Queen Mother, to do something like this without stopping, and to do it all, and to still be afraid of this and that, is no different from seeking death!
Of course, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't necessarily seem to be Gu Zhen.
The main reason is that Gu Zhen's reaction may not be so quick...
Who is that
Queen Mother Qu herself
Because I was on the ship, and I was afraid that the lie would become real and be lost together, so I started too lightly and ended up failing
Yun Fenghuang had thoughts running through his mind. He was so disappointed. What a good opportunity and great conditions. The only blame he could blame was that he was still young and had not experienced enough things. He was pregnant and lacked energy. Why didn't he expect it? Take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire
She secretly beat her chest and regretted it, but when she left the house, she looked extremely frightened in front of Chun Jia: "Your Majesty, I was on the island before. After watching the two empress dowagers leave with the twelve princes, there was no reply for a long time. I'm really sorry. I'm so scared, I just said it's Your Majesty... His Majesty has something to do here, I didn't expect... If I had known about it, it would be better to let the twelfth prince, the seventh prince and the tenth prince stay on the island together, and I will accompany the two empress dowagers. Let’s get on the boat together! With my water nature, even if I am pregnant now, I will definitely be able to save the two empress dowagers when the boat capsizes.”
The emperor believed in the concubine's water nature, but Chunjia really didn't dare to bet on whether the concubine would save people, especially Queen Mother Yuan, if she was also on the boat.
So when he heard this, he just smiled a little tiredly and said, "I'll stay here... Ah Huang should go and rest for a while. You're still pregnant, so you can't help but be tired."
In fact, Yun Fenghuang was really tired, but after hearing this, he still expressed concern for the emperor, and then reluctantly left.
On the way back to Xuanqing Palace, the atmosphere was very different.
After entering the Huanhua Palace, the palace attendants who were left behind all breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came up to pay their respects.
Yun Fenghuang ignored his fatigue and asked King Zhaoqing of Qin. He learned that the two children had been put into the clothes of a chambermaid and a maid and went out to hide. Later, when they received news that the rebels had been killed, they brought them back: "The two children were brought back." Your Highnesses and Your Highness the Ninth Prince are all safe and sound, and have now gone back to sleep. Madam, would you like your three Highnesses to come over to pay your respects?"
"No need." Yun Fenghuang shook his head, "Let them rest... Is there anything else? If not, I have to take a rest."
After hearing this, all the attendants hurriedly said there was no more.
So the imperial concubine went inside to settle down.
She didn't wake up until the night. After getting up, she freshened up and had some food, then she asked what happened during the past day.
"The origins of the rebels have been revealed. It is said that the bandits who were wiped out in northern Xinjiang hated the imperial court. They took advantage of the new defeat of the Dingbei Army and many noble sons of high families were separated from the army. They took advantage of the situation and killed several of their disciples and assumed their identities. ..." The Qing people whispered, "Originally, some people suspected that it was related to Uncle Zhaowu, but His Majesty personally denied it. Now the Gu family is responsible for tracing the ins and outs and thoroughly investigating the remaining parties. In addition, the Hussars General and his family have excepted His Royal Highness Yun'an's consort. , were all imprisoned.”
"Today's hussar general is..."
The Qing man paused and then said, "It's Jiang Lan. Does your Majesty still remember him?"
Remember, how could you not remember
When this servant of the emperor was sent to the bitter cold of the North, the emperor deliberately encouraged the situation, but it was Yun Fenghuang's advice to the former empress in the first place.
A few years later, when people in the imperial capital mentioned Yan Yin as a servant of the emperor, they all thought of him. If it weren't for Zheng Ju who suddenly replaced him, Yun Fenghuang wouldn't even remember such a festival.
I don’t know that after this person took office...
Oh, forget it, she was a beloved concubine for a day anyway, and the emperor's servants couldn't do anything to her.
The imperial concubine gave up on herself and thought that if one day the emperor disliked her, it would be useless for Jiang Lanyan to lead the two imperial servants to say good things to her.
In this case, don’t think too much about it.
Even if this news was not good to her, it was nothing compared to the bad news that two queen mothers had drowned but were not seriously injured.
Yun Fenghuang calmed down and said calmly: "Bandits? This must be nonsense. If they are just ordinary bandits, even if they kill several high-ranking disciples and pretend to be identities, they can deceive them all the way from the North to the Imperial Capital? Are the officials along the way really stupid? What!"
How could a noble nobleman be so easy to fake? Not to mention the conversational temperament he had gained from being pampered and pampered for many years, it was not something that a mere reckless person could fake.
It is said that there are many officials with good backgrounds along the way. Even if they pretend to be the kind of young people who rarely go out to show their faces, a few words about their relatives can expose the trap... After the rebels arrived in the imperial capital, they didn't even have Zheng Ju. It was discovered that it was impossible to say that there was no real high-level help behind it.
Absolutely impossible.
This made Yun Fenghuang look solemn. It would be fine if they were just bandits or aliens. Given the current situation in the world, she believed that the emperor could hold on.
The problem is, Gaomen...
The high sect is not stupid. Now that the Ji family has been destroyed and the regent is dead, Chunjia's position can only be more stable.
Families such as the Luo family, the Meng family, the Yin family, and the Ouyang family, who were relatively reserved before, were all trying their best to get closer to the emperor. Now, which family did the opposite and actually initiated a palace coup
The key is, even if these rebels make some noise, as long as they are not stupid, they should understand that such a small number of manpower cannot really change the situation.
Even if you don't meet Chun Jia, a young and courageous emperor who dares to personally go to the front line to take charge of the army, he is timid and is persuaded by his chamberlain to escape alone to the Forbidden Army camp.
So what are these rebels trying to do
Isn't it just to scare the former harem
"There is also a possibility that the emperor already knows the inside story, but it is not easy to publicize the inside story to the outside world, so he just picks a scapegoat to make the case." Chunjia has done this kind of thing a lot, and the rebels came all the way from the north. It should be true. After all, lies are more likely to be believed if they are half-truths or half- lies.
Yun Fenghuang thought in his mind, "If that's the case, you might as well write a letter to your family and ask them to inquire... Hmm? You have to keep your family on guard, so as not to be dragged into the water."
She still remembered that because Uncle Zhaowu personally led a large number of Dingbei troops north to help Xifa, Qi Jiulu, who stayed behind, once wreaked havoc for the bandits in the north. Later, when suppressing the bandits, she found that the Xie clan was sheltering the bandits.
Nowadays, no matter whether the rebels are bandits or not, they must be on guard against someone bringing up the old talk and burning the flames on Xie's head.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone from the palace came in to report, with a panicked look on his face: "Madam, something happened! Just now Mr. and Mrs. Xing Ning came to the palace for an audience. They suspected that we were plotting to murder the two empress dowagers and the twelfth prince!"
