Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 772: Three parties

Views:

"Yun Jieyu had a suicide note with her when she was hanging?" Yun Fenghuang was very surprised when he heard this. At this time, the previous court was in full swing surrounding the death of Yun Jieyu's mother and son. To be precise, it was Yin Qu and Xing Ningbo who were arguing. In the heat of the moment, the other ministers were mostly making insinuations and gossiping.

There was no way, there had been a palace incident the night before yesterday, and they really didn't have the time to pay attention to the fight between the queen mother and the noble concubine.

What's more, Xingningbo's mansion was not used in great importance either before Chunjia came to power or after he took office. Although their family had a queen mother in the palace, since Concubine An fell out of favor, the two daughters who were sent to the palace one after another were unhappy, and even everyone was unhappy. No more. The courtiers speculated that the Sacred Heart was probably jealous of the Ji family. Although they respected the empress dowager as a loving mother, they did not want to gain power in the Ningbo Mansion, so there was no need to be too flattering to the Yuan family.

As for Min Guifei Yun Fenghuang, she was not from a high background. Even if she had connections with some of the courtiers in the previous dynasty, it was difficult for her to achieve success... The most important thing was that during the palace change, the emperor arranged for the two healthy legitimate sons to be taken away, but he did not care about it. Qin Wang Zhaoqing was always very fond of him. It can be seen that even though the emperor's sympathy for Concubine Min was limited, it was limited.

Therefore, I am not very optimistic about Xuanqing Palace.

The ministers are now murmuring in their hearts. Just after the palace coup happened, the harem was torn apart. What does this mean

Was it the emperor's instruction, or was the conflict between the queen mother and the noble concubine so acute that they didn't forget to stab each other during the palace upheaval

I think a lot and have a lot of worries, so naturally I don’t dare to express my position easily.

Yun Fenghuang also knew this, and it was because Yin Qu loved his daughter so much that he attached great importance to the seventh prince left by Concubine Wen Hui Come out and argue for her.

If the seventh prince hadn't had such a grandfather, no one would have stood up to speak for her in court now. In other words, Chunjia still loved her and might have given her a chance to defend herself in court.

otherwise…

Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart and resented Chunjia more and more.

If Xie Wuzheng had not been forced to become an official, he would have been eligible to serve in court by now.

This cousin, who was related by blood and had the same interests, would naturally fight for her at all costs.

other people…

It's lucky to meet someone like Yin Qu.

There is no reason to meet the second one again.

Moreover, Yin Qu was not whole-heartedly good for Yun Fenghuang, but she was only thinking about her grandson because her grandson was in her hands.

The imperial concubine pondered for a moment, then turned her head and asked the palace servant below: "What was written in the suicide note that made the queen keep it until now without caring about the bad luck?"

She felt a little annoyed. She was so careless. When she watched Yun Jieyu enter the house to kill herself, why didn't she expect that she would leave a suicide note

It was also in the past two years that no one in the Sixth Palace was able to fight, which made everyone in Xuanqing Palace become somewhat arrogant and frivolous, and no longer as cautious as when they first entered the palace.

Zhu E's matter is one thing, and Yun Qingman's suicide note is another... Yun Fenghuang was outside when Yun Qingman was hanging on the beam, so maybe this suicide note was left for her

I don’t know if there is any content in it that is not suitable for external broadcasts

"Your Majesty, Yun Jieyu's suicide note clearly stated that the fourth prince was murdered by Mrs. Yi Guoguo." The palace man said softly, "Yun Jieyu was angry with His Highness the King of Qin and His Highness Princess Zhaoqing because of this..."

Yun Fenghuang was stunned and said, "Is this true?"

"The Empress has sent people to the previous court to forward the suicide note to His Majesty in public." The palace servant smiled and said, "Originally, this suicide note should have been submitted to His Majesty early in the morning, but it was only the matter of His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing that was reported at that time. When they came out, both the empress and the majesty were not in a good mood. The empress, considering that Yun Jieyu had already been killed, and that Mrs. Yi Guogong was a first-class foreigner conferred by the imperial court and could not be touched lightly, she originally planned to conduct a thorough investigation. , and then report it to Your Majesty after drawing a more reliable conclusion. But isn’t there a lot of things that are going on after that? The Queen was also ill for a few times, which delayed it. "

This is of course an excuse. The Queen must have wanted to do something with this suicide note.

Not to mention anything else, it might not be possible to coerce Mrs. Yi Guoguo to help at critical moments.

Now that I took it out, I am afraid that even if Yun Fenghuang could not pass the test this time, he would not let go of Duke Yi's Mansion. And if something went wrong in Duke Yi's Mansion, this letter would be useless, so he took it out...

Yun Fenghuang had a lot of mixed feelings in her heart. Yun Qingman... Yun Qingman... She couldn't tell clearly for a while what the intention of handing over the handkerchief was.

The Queen probably thought she had missed this suicide note.

But in fact, Yun Qingman should be reserved for the queen to see.

After all, when Yun Qingman entered the house in front of Yun Fenghuang, he never hinted that he would leave a word. He did mention that there might be something in the Chengcai Palace... Yun Fenghuang took away those things. Understand.

As for collecting the corpses, Yun Qingman should understand that Yun Fenghuang would not have such patience after he realized that she had planned to enter the palace.

Moreover, for what reason was Yun Qingman forced to die

Conspired to murder His Highnesses King Qin and Zhaoqing, causing Princess Zhaoqing to become disabled!

As a loving mother, how could Yun Fenghuang help the person who harmed her daughter to deal with her funeral under such circumstances

Then why did Yun Qingman leave this letter to the queen

Yun Fenghuang speculated that she must not have expected this day at that time. Maybe it was to give the queen a reason to get together with Mrs. Yi Guo, or the Duke Yi's mansion

Chunjia had no intention of changing his wife, but this was based on the fact that the queen and the Gu family's troubles did not exceed the boundaries he had drawn.

He just wants a well-behaved middle palace and descendant who will not and cannot control the new king in the future. Anyone can do it, not necessarily Gu Zhen and the Gu family.

Therefore, it was okay for Gu Zhen to torment in the harem. The emperor knew her little tricks and didn't really care.

But if Kabuto catches up with Duke Yiguo's mansion...

Even if the Queen and Mrs. Yi Guogong join forces, nothing can be achieved. As long as Chunjia gets the news of their cooperation, the Queen will be finished.

The emperor would never trust a queen who tried to seduce courtiers before her legitimate son had grown up.

Especially the emperor's own confidants.

Is this Yun Qingman's last wish

She knew Yun Fenghuang's ambitions, and also clearly saw Chunjia's heart despite being ignored, so she kept such a hand... But she didn't expect that under the complicated circumstances, the queen took the initiative to take it out. After Yun Qingman's painstaking efforts, it was In vain.

Yun Fenghuang sighed softly and said: "I understand. I understand the empress's kindness and will surely be rewarded generously in the future."

It doesn't matter, the queen probably didn't expect Yun Qingman's true intention. She might have thought it was a God-given opportunity after being held hostage for so long without making any move, thinking that it would be convenient for her to control Duke Yi Guo's wife and even Duke Yi Guo's mansion at the critical moment...

With this, Yun Fenghuang will be able to provoke Chunjia to doubt the queen once this hurdle is over.

"The Empress said there is no need to wait until later." The palace man smiled and said, "The Empress heard that His Highness King Qin and His Highness Princess Zhaoqing in front of her were greatly frightened. The right to do this should be given to the two of them. His Highness is shocked!"

"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, understanding what the queen meant. This suicide note was sent to the emperor. It could gain a huge buffer space for Xuanqing Palace both emotionally and rationally. The queen would use this in exchange for King Qin and Zhaoqing to be together from now on. There was silence in the school... The purpose was obvious, so that the third prince raised by the queen could challenge him and suppress the momentum of Xuanqing Palace.

The queen is really not good at intrigues!

The imperial concubine sighed in her heart. In fact, even if the queen didn't send anyone to ask for this today, because Chunjia didn't arrange for King Qin and Zhaoqing this time, could she continue to let these two children steal the spotlight

Calculating the ages of the tenth and twelfth princes, it was only a matter of the year after that when they entered school. The emperor was not sincere to his eldest son and eldest daughter, and he even dedicated time to personally teach them in the side hall of Taichu Palace for more than half a year.

It was the turn of the legitimate son, who had high hopes for him, and he had to be taken by his side to teach him personally even if he had no choice but to do so.

In this case, Yun Fenghuang is not stupid, how can he continue to force the two children to study hard and compete with his legitimate son

If you want to fight, you should fight in the dark, where Chunjia can't think of it.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it just make the emperor unhappy

She looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before agreeing. After watching the palace attendants from Chongchang Palace leave, Yun Fenghuang thought about the next countermeasures: the quarrel between the imperial concubine and the Queen Mother, and the death of Yun Jieyu's mother and son, no matter what Sensationalism is limited to the harem.

But when the queen handed over this suicide note, there was no doubt that it directly involved the previous dynasty.

Even though the letter only touches on Mrs. Yi Guogong and not Duke Yi... But the foreign-born woman is different from the inner-married woman.

The Han family will not be able to escape this time no matter what.

But Yun Fenghuang has no time to pay attention to this person's fate now. She is considering Chunjia's thoughts.

There is no doubt that Chunjia must be very angry now.

The turmoil caused by the palace change has not yet subsided, but the harem has caused trouble for him. Can he not be angry

The two empress dowagers and the twelfth prince said they had a near miss, but they are still unconscious!

As for Yun Fenghuang, she is pregnant.

Normally, this would probably be settled with the Han family, but it is not appropriate now. The palace change has just passed, and the emperor has just categorically sided with the Gu family. If the Yi Guo Duke's house is involved now, even if it is just for Mrs. Yi Guo Gong's wife , it is also difficult not to interpret it as the increasing favor of the Yun family.

This was very disadvantageous for the emperor who wanted to support the Yun family's children in controlling the Dingbei Army.

After all, the Yun family has not achieved any extraordinary achievements in the war against Hele so far. Gu Fangshu even got into a fight with the Wei family because of Hele's sneak attack.

Who will the emperor look for

This time things are so big, you need a scapegoat to bear everything, right

The Empress Dowager Yuan hoped that it would be Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang hoped that it would be the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Queen, the Empress hoped that both the Empress Dowager Yuan and Yun Fenghuang would be harmed... The Emperor, the Emperor probably hoped that an insignificant person would come to calm the matter.

Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes and suddenly asked: "Has Sun Yu sent someone here before?"

"Yes, your Majesty." Qingren said quickly, "We hadn't come back at that time, and a strange palace servant came over and said something. He didn't understand it very well, but he just hoped that the Imperial Majesty would be able to give a smile to the Imperial City Secretary. 2. The empress was not here at that time, and the people below did not dare to be adept at it. They did not say yes or no."

Yun Fenghuang had heard about this before when she returned to Xuanqing Palace from the previous dynasty, but she was too busy with so many things at that time, so how could she have time to care about Sun Yu's life and death

At this moment, he was thoughtful when he heard the words, but he said: "Send someone to ask Sun Yu what happened to the rebels?"

"Empress?" Qingren's heart moved, "Are you suspicious of the Queen Mother and those who initiated the palace coup...?"

"What are you thinking about?" Yun Fenghuang smiled sarcastically and said softly, "Are you stupid to be the Queen Mother, or is Your Majesty stupid? No matter how much the Queen Mother wants to eradicate this palace, how can she join the rebels? Collusion? The night before, His Majesty personally climbed up to the city tower to take charge, and Tianyan suffered a little damage because of it... Think about it, if the tributary arrow really hurt Your Majesty, can the Queen Mother bear the consequences? "

Queen Mother Yuan will never joke about Chun Jia's safety. Everyone with a brain knows this.

Chunjia's injury and disability would be harmful to the Queen Mother, no matter in terms of interests or emotions.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to know about the palace change in advance but remain indifferent, just to use it to deceive Yun Fenghuang... In the eyes of the Queen Mother, no matter how important Yun Fenghuang is, how can he be more important than the emperor

"To this palace, the empress dowager and the empress, the most important thing now is the so-called capsizing of the boat and the death of Yun Jieyu's mother and son. Oh, I just added Yun Jieyu's suicide note..." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Do you know why?"

Qingren asked subconsciously: "Why?"

"Because I, the people in this palace, know that whether there is a coup in the palace, a rebellion, or everything in the temple, it is your Majesty who has the final say. I, these people, have neither the chance nor the need to worry about it." The imperial concubine sighed, "That's why. You can start a fight immediately after the palace change! But since I rely on the emperor's favor to compete with the loving mother Queen Mother, how can I not understand His Majesty's current considerations? "

Chunjia definitely doesn't want to worry about the harem dispute now. What he worries about most must be the rebellion.

The reason why he tolerated it was, firstly, because of Empress Dowager Yuan's appearance, and secondly, because he considered that palace changes would undoubtedly discredit his reputation as the Holy Son of Heaven, and would also cause confusion among the people of the world. Big, it can also dilute the atmosphere.

But even if the emperor sat on the throne and listened to the verbal battle between Xing Ningbo and Yin Qu all morning, what he was most worried about would definitely be the palace coup.

Maybe, you can start here.

Yun Fenghuang thought deeply, her eyes flickering. This time she was caught completely off guard, but she couldn't just let it go.

Escape... Ever since she persuaded the Queen, she had not been able to just passively be beaten. What she was thinking now was, how to drag the Queen Mother Yuan into the water so that the Queen Mother could not afford to eat and walk away

"Your Majesty, the suicide note has been sent up." At this moment, in the Chongchang Palace, the attendant was telling the queen quickly, "It's just... I heard that your majesty didn't look good after hearing about it?"

Gu Zhen was not surprised when he heard this, and said calmly: "There is still no decent explanation for the palace incident. Such a thing happened in the harem. His Majesty must be very angry. Now he hopes that Yin Qu can persuade Uncle Xing Ning, suppress this matter... I send you such a suicide note, which is just adding fuel to the fire, will Your Majesty be happy?"

"In this case, why did the empress need to send the suicide note?" Everyone on the left and right were startled and said anxiously, "Now that the bones are set, even if you want to rescue the noble concubine, why do you need to displease His Majesty?"

"Have you forgotten how that suicide note came about?" Gu Zhen frowned, "I am still not sure whether it was Yun Qingman who did it and accidentally fell into my hands, or it was the concubine who dug the hole specially. Are you waiting for me to jump? You still don’t know what the imperial concubine is like? Looking at people and things that have nothing to do with her, you can’t guarantee her innocence, let alone Yun Qingman and the imperial concubine... Haha, that was a handkerchief exchange when I was young. ! I don’t believe the imperial concubine, and of course I can’t trust Yun Qingman! Otherwise, after so many days, why don’t you try to contact Mrs. Yi Guogong? You just took this opportunity to send the suicide note. What’s going on? I don’t have the ability. If you find out any clues, let your Majesty go down!"

As for Chunjia's displeasure, the queen didn't care. "Anyway, this incident was caused by the loving mother Queen Mother and Xing Ningbo. If your majesty wants to blame it, it should also be blamed on those two people who didn't know the general situation. Even if your majesty was biased because of his preference, To make me angry, this kind of thing has not happened before... I have been used to it for a long time! Shaoer is right, always waiting for others to come to trouble us, always waiting for things to take the initiative to involve us, once, twice, three times Yes, you thought I had lost my temper! Look at how many people in the palace have made trouble in the past two years and dared to take the initiative to drag them into Xuanqing Palace? No one even provoked anyone from the Yi family and the Qu family! It is the noble concubine who is highly virtuous and respected. Huh? Doesn’t everyone know that the imperial concubine is ruthless and unreasonable?!"

"In this case, it is time for me, Yanfu Palace, to show my stance this time, so that everyone in the palace and harem will know that although I am stupid, I am not the one who can drag this down!"

To be honest, Gu Zhen was really scared right now.

It's not that I'm afraid of anything else, I'm just thinking that since Empress Dowager Yuan dealt with the imperial concubine so suddenly, and even brought out Yun Jieyu's mother and son who had long been forgotten... Then, will the Empress Dowager plan to take over everything and even make arrangements for her? Already

Gu Zhen was really not sure what the mistress of Chunwu Palace did in the middle of the night when the palace changed. After all, she was in a state of confusion for a while and didn't pay attention to the comings and goings of her own palace. What if she was watching the excitement now? If you hold back, the imperial concubine becomes cold in the end, and then you follow the queen mother and target her without stopping? ?

This Queen Mother is so terrible.

She definitely couldn't handle it on her own, so she had better take the imperial concubine to send Queen Mother Yuan away first, and then we would talk about it later.

At least Chunjia's efforts to protect his legitimate son gave Gu Zhen the confidence that he might not survive the imperial concubine.

"The queen is just stupid." At this moment, in the side hall of Taichu Palace, the smell of medicine lingered. Queen Mother Yuan opened her eyes and saw clearly that there was only one dipping willow in the palace, and then she called softly and asked her to pour some warm water for herself. , and asked about the current situation.

After understanding, he sighed and said, "It must have been persuaded by the noble concubine... The Ai family didn't expect her to just stand by and watch. It's just that the excitement of the Ai family's personal death was so beautiful?"

Zhanliu whispered: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

Empress Dowager Yuan nodded and said, "Aijia is still a little dizzy and will continue to rest. Just keep an eye on it. If anything happens, wake Aijia up."

After saying that, he fell asleep again.

Zhanliu quickly disposed of the water cup he drank from and put it away again. He looked outside as if the Queen Mother had never been sober, sighed, and continued to wait quietly.
