Chapter 778: Sprung branches

"Queen Dowager Qu has been dormant for many years. Now that she takes action, it must be a thunderous strike!" In the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked around, and said softly, "It seems that the eighth prince does have some problems with his life experience."

Chen Jing and other attendants were all beaming with joy, and whispered: "I am so happy! Your Majesty's heart will be broken by this act of the loving mother Queen Mother! From now on, Chunwu Palace..."

"How can it be so simple?" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yun Fenghuang, who said calmly, "Are you stupid? The eighth prince is the son of Concubine Yuan Xian. The reason why we have never doubted his life experience is because Concubine Yuan Xian Unable to travel due to fetal motility, she settled in Wannian County. It was not until the confinement period after giving birth that she took the little prince back to the palace... If this child is not of royal blood, then the person who should be held accountable the most should be The late Concubine Yuan Xian, followed by the Yuan family! These two are the most suspicious. As for the loving mother the Queen Mother, she did not stay in Wannian County to take care of Concubine Yuan Xian! "

"Based on her relationship with His Majesty, even if it is confirmed that the Eighth Prince is confusing the royal bloodline, all she has to do is push back and say that she doesn't know anything, and she will be deceived by the Yuan family and Concubine Yuan Xian, and then cry again After being ill for a few days, Your Majesty will inevitably feel distressed and take the initiative to excuse him!"

After all, Chunjia didn't actually care much about the eighth prince.

Yun Fenghuang knew the character of this emperor well. Since this child was not someone he usually valued and doted on, then... if he wasn't of his own blood, he just had to follow the rules. There is definitely something to say about being in a bad mood. After all, no one would be happy to be fooled and deceived like this.

But when it comes to being angry, that's not the case.

As an emperor who had been patient for eight years before taking action, Chunjia was not the kind of person who was easily angered.

In this case, how could it be that she had a special grudge against Queen Mother Yuan

Yun Fenghuang said: "Right now, Queen Mother Qu has made a start. Although we don't know if she has any backup plans, we can't place all our hopes on her alone."

"This matter must be inseparable from the loving mother Queen Mother!"

"No, the Eighth Prince is not your Majesty's biological flesh and blood, but he was brought up under the Queen's lap. He even plans to replace the two legitimate sons on the jade plate and enter the East Palace in the future... This is what the loving mother Empress Dowager planned!!!"

"Also." The imperial concubine said coldly, "Ouyang Yanran had an appointment with me, and he would speak for me if he was criticized in the temple. If he is like Yin Qu today, alone and unable to support himself, I am not an unreasonable person. I don’t blame him! But since he is doing the opposite and adding insult to injury, then... Concubine Ouyang Shu no longer needs to exist!"

Yun Fenghuang actually felt early in the morning that this old guy Ouyang Yanran had impure thoughts.

But this is also a reasonable thing. After all, it is impossible for such an important minister and veteran, let alone a concubine like her from a humble background, even a queen like Gu Zhen who came from a noble family to convince him.

Each takes what they need and uses each other.

But in normal times, Ouyang Yanran didn't work hard, so Yun Fenghuang just turned a blind eye. Firstly, she did not place all her hopes in the court on Ouyang Yanran alone; secondly, for a concubine like her who did not have a good family background, it was very difficult for her to antagonize important ministers, and there would be endless troubles.

Chunjia was not a competent and foolish emperor, and even if she was favored, she would not be allowed to do anything to a veteran of two dynasties and a pioneer in the revolution.

Even if Ouyang Yanran suffered a lot in this way, he would be unable to do anything to Concubine Min later, and he would have to take revenge on the Xie family and the Jiang family.

This is certainly not worth the loss for Yun Fenghuang, who is in urgent need of support from foreign countries.

So bear with it if you can.

But the situation is different today. The turmoil today is really big!

The two empress dowagers and a legitimate prince fell into the water, which revealed the "truth" about the illness of King Chu who just missed the throne of the prince, the truth and falsehood of the queen's confession for many years, and even the Xingningbo Mansion that ignited the dispute in the end. If he was able to escape, he would directly call the farmer who showed up unexpectedly and charge him with confusing blood!

Under such circumstances, if Yun Fenghuang still lets Ouyang Yanran do what he wants, who will fear her in the future

Even if he persuades other ministers to serve him in the future, they may betray him at a critical moment!

If Ouyang Yanran didn't have a low status in front of Chunjia, Yun Fenghuang would have taken care of him directly.

But now, Ouyang Fulu must die!

In the previous court, Xing Ningbo almost lay on the ground, his face was a mess, and he didn't know whether it was cold sweat or tears. He cried every word and said: "Your Majesty! You are wronged! The late Concubine Xian was a virtuous and virtuous woman. How dare you do such a thing?" Substituting an heir for the emperor?! Moreover, the late virtuous concubine is young, so even if she gives birth to a princess, she may not be able to have another heir in the future, but why take such a risk?!"

"Your Majesty, it is said that the late virtuous concubine has been in poor health since she returned to the palace from Wannian County." Yin Qu glanced at him and reminded Chun Jia, "After that, she was even more lingering on the sick bed, so that she died young!"

If Concubine Yuan Xian is doing well, of course she can give birth to another child.

However, it is said that she suffered greatly during childbirth and was very ill when she returned to the palace... She even died within two years of her life!

In this case, maybe this is the reason for Yuan's desperate decision

After all, the Yuan family has sent three daughters to the palace to serve the emperor, can it continue

Not to mention whether the emperor is still willing to accept Yuan's daughter, even if he is still willing... the eighth prince has already reached the eighth rank, what hope can there be after that

The most important thing is that Chunjia has no shortage of children now.

If Mrs. Yuan sends her daughter to the palace again, it’s hard to say whether she will have the opportunity to sleep with her!

"And since the two farmers just found the tomb, they also found the Yuan family's belongings in the tomb." Someone on the other side of the Yushitai also hesitated and said, "Is it possible that the imperial heir from the late virtuous concubine..."

Not only is she a princess, but the princess is also dead

Then... did this little princess die on her own due to her weak body, or was it because the Yuan family needed to steal a dragon and turn a phoenix into a phoenix, so she committed a murderous attack

Although this kind of thing is against human ethics, it is not impossible...

For a moment, all the ministers looked at Uncle Xingning in a strange way.

Since ancient times, it has not been uncommon for people to drown female infants.

But there are still relatively few wealthy families, mainly because they can afford to support them. Moreover, when a girl is raised and married, the family reputation can be stabilized.

Isn’t Min Guifei Yun Fenghuang an example

If he hadn't given birth to such a daughter, who would have known about the Xie family in the North

If there is indeed a problem with the eighth prince's life experience, then whether it is Yuan Zhiniang or the Yuan family, the participants are really not ordinary ruthless.

Even if you are afraid that the imperial doctor will make a mistake and you dare not raise the two children together and pretend to be twins, you can find a good family to send them out to take care of them privately. As for whether you would kill your own flesh and blood or the princess

"Don't spit on others!!!" Xing Ningbo suddenly raised his head, glared at the Yushitai Yushi, and shouted sternly, "What is the intention of speculating on the late Xian Fei without any basis or evidence!?"

Yin Qu laughed and said, "Aren't those two farmers just witnesses witnesses? Moreover, the burial objects found in the tomb are probably from the Yuan family, and they are also physical evidence!"

"How can the one-sided words of ordinary people be qualified to frame the late virtuous concubine and the dignified uncle's house?!" Before Xing Ningbo finished speaking, Yin Qu had already said: "Today, the uncle keeps asking your majesty to punish the noble concubine, but the evidence comes back and forth. It’s just a slave and some so-called physical evidence!”

"Even though the farmers in Wannian County are poor, they are still innocent families. Otherwise, how would his wife be qualified to be a wet nurse for a noble family?"

"How can this slave be compared to me?!"

He chuckled lightly and said, "And according to what the two farmers said, it is rumored that the farmer's son was buried with him in the tomb, and there are many rich and luxurious things. If there are two of them, there is no need for my uncle to be anxious. , and also want to believe that there is an evil person who stole the belongings of the uncle's house and framed the blame. But... those many things, is it possible that the uncle's house has so extravagantly covered them up, and many gold and jade utensils were scattered outside, but they were not released at all. In your heart, you don’t feel anything?!”

"That can't be compared to a few traces and footprints!"

Previously, Xingning Boli proved that the imperial concubine was suspicious. The more important evidence was Zhu E's footprints and the hem of her clothes caught on branches.

Yin Qu was now fighting tooth for tooth, and Xing Ningbo was speechless for a moment.

He just thought about it quickly in his mind and made a decision. He glanced sideways at Yin Qu and turned to the throne: "Your Majesty, the empress dowager is my dear sister. She is a virtuous, kind and quiet person, but unfortunately she has a bad fate. After leaving the court, I stayed with the late prince for several years, and then lost my lover. Since then, I have been orphaned and widowed, living a hard life... "

Uncle Xingning tearfully recalled the hardships of Empress Dowager Yuan's early years for a long time, focusing on describing all the hard work she had done for Chunjia. In the end, it seemed that Chunjia was still indifferent and did not dare to say any more. He wiped his tears and sobbed, "Listen, I will The words of the palace servants were both sad and shocking. They did not dare to show any indifference, so they impulsively came to ask His Majesty to make the decision. Now... "

Unwilling to be reconciled, but after careful calculation, he did not dare to continue the stalemate. Enduring his anger and disappointment, Xing Ningbo tried to speak tactfully, but the central meaning was still: he admitted that his previous accusations against Concubine Min were too arbitrary.

This made Yin Qu secretly feel relieved, so he stopped pursuing the eighth prince's matter.

After all, no one expected that this matter would cause such a big fuss today...

Now not only Xing Ningbo didn't dare to continue, but Yin Qu didn't dare either.

The two ministers have a clear understanding of each other, and the meeting really cannot continue. Otherwise, God knows how many reports and accidents will be waiting for them.

They really can't bear it...

It's okay if they can't bear it, but if even the emperor on the throne can't bear it, then... maybe the bloody scene in Ye Guogong's mansion will be repeated in the temple today

Not only them, but other courtiers also had similar worries.

At this moment, he secretly looked at Chunjia's face and hesitantly went out to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, I think what Uncle Xing Ning said is true. Just after the palace change, a lot of troubles have arisen in the harem. I'm afraid someone is causing trouble."

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

"I thought that His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the Eighth Prince were also harmed by others."

"What happened today is really strange, and there must be an inside story."

The atmosphere in the court was finally a little more relaxed because everyone worked together to turn the big thing into a trivial one. However, at this moment, someone came out and said: "Come to think of it, it's Uncle Xing Ning's fault for being too impulsive. Anyone who is interested can take advantage of this opportunity!"
