When Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly, Zhan Liuzheng lifted his legs and shook the Empress Dowager Yuan awake: "Mother, it's not good! Someone from Wannian County has come to complain to the emperor. Say no... The eighth prince is not Bidong. Bones and blood mean that Yuan’s bloodline is confused!!!”
"..." Queen Mother Yuan, who was awakened, walked up in horror, and after asking about the incident in a few words, her face instantly darkened, "Who did it?!"
Zhan Liu said in panic: "It seems that I am afraid that I can't get away from the Queen..."
"No!" Empress Dowager Yuan objected without thinking, "Gu Zhen doesn't have that ability! When Gardenia settled in Wannian County, she did send people to follow her. But that's all! She probably didn't. I don’t have the brains to think of stealing a dragon and turning it into a phoenix!”
"Your Majesty, if you are not a queen, then you are probably a noble concubine." Zhan Liu said with a bitter smile, "If not, I'm afraid things will be very difficult."
That's right, just like Yun Fenghuang didn't regard the Queen as having a wrong leg and thought that if Chunjia hadn't stopped her, the Queen and the Gu family would be vulnerable, the Queen Mother Yuan and her servants didn't think so either.
So Zhan Liu is very anxious now. I wonder if the incident involving the Eighth Prince was done by the Queen. She would not even wake up the Queen Mother.
Can I ask if the mastermind is a noble concubine...
Then, it's not simple.
Although Empress Dowager Yuan disliked Yun Fenghuang very much whether or not she wanted to get rid of Yun Fenghuang, they had to admit that in terms of legs and wrists, Empress Gu Zhen did not deny the concubine's legs at all.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "The imperial concubine is the most suspicious, but she is very personal, so we must not leave it out!"
Zhan Liu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He glanced at the place where Queen Mother Qu was placed, and whispered: "Here, someone has been watching us..."
"Qiuzhen can keep an eye on her, how can the emperor show mercy to her?" Empress Dowager Yuan sighed and said, "People's hearts are fickle... Before, the Ji family suppressed them, and the people of Didong did not dare to make mistakes, and they had no chance to make mistakes. . After all, the third generation Phoenix Master of the Ji family has no talent. Even if those of us want to take the initiative to lean in, they have to watch. But the Ji family is gone. Although the Ai family is not the Queen Mother, she is also the Queen Mother, no If the emperor's biological mother is related by blood...some people will always be interested."
Since the downfall of the Ji family, although the status of Queen Mother Yuan has obviously changed, there are still some people who have the idea of burning the cold stove and trying to flatter Queen Mother Qu.
After all, as the mistress of Prince Fuyang's lineage, her background was not bad. Ever since she married into Prince Fuyang's palace and became the princess, Empress Dowager Yuan has had her own team of confidants. Over the years, she has never been short of people and rarely hired outsiders to help her. But Queen Mother Qu was different. She came from a humble background. She was bought and sold into the palace like goods, and she had no ability or chance to find a team for herself.
With Chunjia's pro-government, there are always some palace officials who want to take the wrong approach, thinking that no matter what the Holy Mother and the Queen Mother say, she will not be the emperor's biological mother. If they follow her, they will have no chance at all.
And it's very stable.
Compared with a favored concubine such as a concubine, when she is in power, she is so powerful that even the queen mother wants to treat her tactfully; but once she falls out of favor, like Concubine An, the palace will be extremely miserable.
It is worse to seek refuge with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother. As long as Chunjia does not lose her position and lose her status, then there is a guarantee.
Therefore, in the seven years since Chunjia, Empress Dowager Yuan not only failed to eradicate Empress Dowager Qu, she even felt that it was increasingly difficult to suppress Jiashan Palace.
At this moment, she immediately thought of Queen Mother Qu, "The Ai family has raised the emperor's son for a while. Even if the emperor's mind has been gradually attracted by the Xiaoyun family in the past two years, he still does not want to be led by the nose. The faint king is gone. The Xiaoyun family... may or may not be favored, but the real military and state affairs are still happening, and they can't get involved. The Ai family can't do anything to her, and she can't actually do anything to the Ai family. The Qu family... is almost the same. The Ai family is like this The possibility of killing her is getting lower and lower, but if she wants to stand up, she can't do it as long as the Aijia lives for a month!"
Empress Dowager Yuan breathed out slowly, "Whether she or the Xiaoyun family, they can all count on the death of the Ai family. If you want to make a huge mistake, you will make a huge mistake and have many bad feelings with the emperor... Otherwise, they will not be reconciled. , so you can endure it! The emperor is smart and understands everything, but he is ruthless as long as the people are not grass and trees, so he... In some things and some places, he is not willing to delve too deeply, lest all parties fail to gain traction and use He is just embarrassed and sad!"
And how many big mistakes could make Empress Dowager Yuan abandon Chunjia
Ordinary murders and arson, etc., in the eyes of the emperor, if his adoptive mother did those things... then he would do it.
What's wrong
I am begging for fault, should I be killed? The person who is being killed is a sensible person. The empress dowager, a loving mother, wants to beg me to die. Can't I just kneel down and stretch out my neck to kill her? Why do you want so much trouble? Why do you want to cry out for injustice? Why do you want to criticize the empress dowager
Empress Dowager Yuan had a little bit of confidence, so she asked her to kill the few people Chun Jia also cared about, and Chun Jia didn't even blame her.
A mother-son bond like theirs can cause great harm, but there is actually one kind: betrayal.
But Queen Mother Yuan was not a fool, so how could she betray Chunjia
Even if an ironclad case was made to frame her, Chunjia would not be able to be convinced.
After all, regardless of the interests or feelings of Buchang, the Empress Dowager Yuan had no intention of betraying Chun Jia.
She had no children, and Chun Jia had nothing to blame the Empress Dowager except for being more protective of Yun Fenghuang and taking care of Yuan's family. If this child is not the biggest protection for her and the Yuan family, then does she have to go crazy to betray Chunjia? Who can she turn to after her betrayal? Who can give her similar treatment? Besides, Empress Dowager Yuan is not the kind of master who can take charge of her own affairs and listen to politics behind the curtain!
Without Chunjia, her hard work and efforts for most of her life would be destroyed in one day!
It was too late for her to protect Chunjia!
But it was different when the Eighth Prince entered his legs.
Everyone knows that Queen Mother Yuan could have betrayed Chunjia, but she also had her own little thoughts, so she could not plan for the future of the Yuan family.
This can be seen from the fact that the three Yuan daughters entered the palace one after another, from the fact that she asked Yuan Zhiniang to be named the virtuous concubine despite the conflict between the queen and the concubine, and from the eighth prince's special care... It can be seen.
Then the Queen Mother would not harm Chunjia, but she would harm the Eighth Prince, Chunjia's other children, and even get involved in the fight for the crown prince.
If that were not the case, the emperor would at most be bored and alienate and beat the queen mother more, which would hardly lead to a breakup.
Because to be honest, it is not excusable for an ordinary grandmother to be partial among her grandchildren.
but…
If the eighth prince is not of Chunjia bloodline, then the problem will be huge.
And if the Empress Dowager Yuan knew about this but ignored the interests of the Yuan family, or protected the Yuan family and pretended not to know, then...
"The question now is whether to find out whether the eighth prince is of the emperor's bloodline or not." Queen Mother Yuan said that, and then she laughed, "Whether it is the noble concubine or the Qu family, those two... don't find out about this matter. It’s just a matter of words, but now that it has been revealed, there is probably something wrong with the Eighth Prince’s life experience!”
Zhan Liu was frightened, swallowed his saliva, and whispered, holding on to the hope of the eventuality: "Empress, maybe they are deliberately sensationalizing... so as to cut off the future of the Eighth Prince! Do you think that when the Concubine Xian was giving birth outside, you Have you always sent people to take care of them? How did they get the ability to do this under your nose?"
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Yuan turned her head to look at her. After a moment, she smiled helplessly and said, "Dip the willow, dip the willow. Is it true that the imperial concubine and the Qu family are unable to exchange the emperor's heir in Wannian County? Is it possible?" Have I forgotten? Gardenia and Uncle Xingning’s mansion may not be so patient!"
