Speaking of the twelfth prince, it is also sad. In terms of status, as one of the three legitimate princes, his biological mother is the daughter of the Gu family, which is not low in any way.
When the boat capsized earlier, he was the youngest and his condition was said to be the most critical, which attracted the attention of many people.
As a result, the empress dowager returned to Fuyang County first, attracting the attention of the former harem. The emperor even put aside such a major palace change for the time being, let alone the twelfth prince.
So in these days of ups and downs, no one even thought of him.
Now that the two empress dowagers, Feng Jia, had gone, Yun Fenghuang found the energy to ask.
"Twelve is still weak now. The queen is not a shrewd person, so let him go back to Chongchang Palace. I am not worried about it, so I will teach him to stay in the side hall of Taichu Palace and wait until he recovers before moving back." Chunjia heard this. He said slowly, "So as not to follow in the footsteps of King Chu."
Yun Fenghuang asked: "Your Majesty also suspects that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was ill and was harmed by others?"
The emperor pondered for a while and then said: "I actually didn't find anything wrong at the time... The King of Chu was young at that time. It is not impossible to say that his body was weaker than his brother's, so he was just sick."
"Speaking of which, Concubine De came to my place a lot in the past few days." Yun Fenghuang said smoothly, "I think it's because my grandmother took over the mission but couldn't figure out what to do."
Chunjia smiled faintly and said: "Aunt Dongxing is an elder of the royal family. She is an old member of the clan. She is the most sensible and considerate person. How could she not know what to do? Concubine De is worried for nothing. Don't listen to her. Concubine De. She has always been such an ignorant person, so her words cannot be taken seriously."
After talking like this for a while, the emperor paid more attention to Yun Fenghuang's pregnancy and saw that Chen Guang would leave soon.
He had backlogged a lot of government affairs in order to retain the Queen Mother, but he was still very busy these two days.
In fact, the harem is not idle either.
Summer has already entered at this time. According to previous years, He Gong has packed his luggage and is preparing to leave for Qishan to escape the summer heat. Due to this year's turmoil, the concubines are a little entangled. Should they pack this luggage or not
For this reason, the queen learned that the emperor finally came to the harem, and specially sent a servant to the Huanqing Palace to ask: "How is your majesty feeling now?"
"It's hard to say." Yun Fenghuang shook his fan lightly and said thoughtfully, "I came here to sit for a while, but it was the same as usual. I asked about my health and the current situation of the emperor's heirs, and talked about the arrangement of the sixth prince... As for the arrangement of the sixth prince... I didn’t mention anything else.”
The waiter said cautiously: "This matter of summer vacation..."
"I didn't even have a chance to mention it just now. After all, my loving mother, the Queen Mother, just left. How can I dare to talk too much about trivial things?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Maybe the Queen should ask it herself. After all, the Queen Mother is the official palace. These things, It is reasonable for the empress to ask or worry about it. Your Majesty personally ordered me to focus on raising the baby, so I really can’t talk too much now."
"May I ask, my dear concubine, what are your majesty's arrangements for the sixth prince...?"
"Your Majesty said that he originally wanted the Empress to raise the Sixth Prince, but considering that the Empress already had several heirs, he was afraid that the Empress would not be able to take care of him, so he wanted to let the Concubine Xian raise him, so that he could do the same thing as the Second Prince. A companion."
When these words were reported back to Chongchang Hall, the queen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had really escaped a disaster.
She didn't hear that the emperor didn't arrange for the sixth prince to come because he thought she was incompetent. She thought that the emperor really felt sorry for her, so he asked someone to prepare something and send it to Concubine Xian.
Finally, he frowned again: "Now all the concubines have come to ask me whether I am going to escape the summer heat, but the noble concubine does not dare to ask Your Majesty. Should I go and get into trouble myself?"
He then suggested: "Why don't other ladies ask?"
"The noble concubine doesn't dare to ask. Who else will ask? They are not stupid." The queen sighed, "And your majesty has visited the noble concubine twice in the past few days, and the others have ignored her. Even if you have the courage to love the concubine, Who can stand out in front of His Majesty?"
Shaking her head, she decided to ignore the matter for now, but asked about something outside the palace, "I heard that Mrs. Xie asked my cousins in the palace a few days ago?"
"Yes, because the concubine's brother Xie Shiba lost his wife and son, and is now alone. Mrs. Xie is very worried about this nephew. In the past six months, she has been paying attention to the ladies of each family when she goes out." He said, "It's just that Mrs. Xie... Even if the imperial concubine takes care of her mother's family, according to the rules, there is no reason why the status of the second wife should be so much higher than that of the first wife?"
The queen said: "Other families naturally follow these rules, but the imperial concubine's status in the palace is unusual. It is normal for her family to be more arrogant... That's all. Anyway, it's fine if the family refuses. There is no need to offend the imperial concubine for such a small thing."
Now that Chunjia was determined to have a legitimate son, she became calmer and more tolerant.
Originally, the imperial concubine was a domineering and overbearing person, but the queen did not provoke her, so the imperial concubine took the initiative to find trouble no matter what.
If the queen had given her some reason, I don't know what the trouble would have been like.
Gu Zhen only wanted his wife to enter Qingci Palace peacefully, but he did not want his life to be full of twists and turns just because of a momentary dispute.
After giving such instructions to the palace people, he also thought of the Twelve Prince and sighed: "This child is really in trouble... I don't know how he is now? I hope he recovers soon and comes back to this palace." .”
The queen knew the reason why the emperor left the twelfth prince to recover in Taichu Palace and then sent him back to the harem. Although she felt aggrieved, the queen's own family knew about her family affairs. If the twelfth prince was moved back to Chongchang Palace, she was really not sure. Protect this child tightly. Furthermore, for the Emperor to personally protect the Twelve Princes, it was a good thing for the Central Palace.
It would even be better for the emperor to raise and nurture his feelings and just take this child with him
This is a prince with the blood of the Gu family!
It's just that the child raised by the Emperor himself is no small matter, and there is a tenth prince before the twelve princes. Gu Zhen couldn't express his thoughts directly, so he just prayed silently in his heart.
As for Yun Fenghuang, she sent the queen's people away, thinking that if her loving mother the queen mother was gone, it might not be a good thing for herself... What was imminent was that she didn't know whether the queen mother had set a trap for her to give birth.
There is a high probability.
Because of the suddenness of the palace change, Queen Mother Yuan did not expect such a thing to happen.
Even so, she quickly caused the boat to capsize.
It can be seen that this old guy seems to be keeping a low profile in the past two years, but in fact he has never given up on killing Yun Fenghuang.
In this case, the Queen Mother didn't expect the palace change, so wouldn't she have taken action? Impossible, most likely a poisonous plan had been laid for Yun Fenghuang's delivery.
Now that he is leaving, he may not have any intention of getting away to avoid being complained and blamed by Chunjia.
Farther away, in Yun Fenghuang's plan, regardless of whether the Empress Dowager Yuan was interested in supporting a prince with Yuan's blood to ascend to power, she had to make it look like the empress would suspect that she was very interested. In this way, she can better cover up her series of actions to pave the way for the prince under her knees.
But now it's better. Empress Dowager Yuan left as soon as she said she wanted to, and even coerced Empress Dowager Qu to leave together. This...
After the night of the palace change, Chunjia made it clear that no matter how much he doted on his concubine's children, he would only choose between his legitimate sons as the heir apparent.
Under such circumstances, if Yun Fenghuang continued to cause trouble for the position of the East Palace, I know that the emperor would immediately give hints and knocks.
If she doesn't listen...
Then, Chunjia will probably do something.
The emperor drew a circle for her, and all the seemingly favored people were in the circle.
If you go beyond one step, it may be the time when the relationship is severed.
Thinking about this, Yun Fenghuang had the urge to find a way to bring Empress Dowager Yuan back to the imperial capital...
Of course, just thinking about it.
After all, it would be fine if Empress Dowager Yuan left the imperial capital for other reasons, but it was Xingningbo Mansion who confused the bloodline.
For this reason, the prince with the blood of the Yuan family, or the prince in the name of the Yuan family's daughter, has nothing to do with that position anyway.
Even if the Queen Mother returns to the imperial capital, it will be difficult for her to get involved in the selection of the crown prince.
Yun Fenghuang was very depressed.
The next day, some news came from the previous court, and it was Chunjia who announced the final disposition of the Yuan family.
The outcome of the Yuan family's concubines did not change, but the Emperor finally showed mercy to the Xing Ningbo Mansion. Although Yuan Qihuai and his wife could not escape death, other important members of the Yuan family were also implicated in the "murder of the two queen mothers and the twelfth prince." Among the crimes, he was sentenced to death and exiled, but Yuan Ke was made a loose official and stayed in the imperial capital.
But this move was essentially just to comfort the Queen Mother, give the Yuan family some dignity, and show the emperor's kindness. After all, the Yuan family in Fuyang and the Xingning Bo Mansion had already disappeared.
"People have been looking at the Dianhuzhu Palace recently." After Gu Zhen found out, he sighed and told his subordinates, "An Jieyu always likes to think too much, but in these critical times, don't let the empress dowager, a loving mother, have to worry about her on the road. .”
Yuan Yuniang is now completely out of favor with the emperor, and she is dead. The key is that the empress dowager Yuan returned to her hometown because of the emperor's reluctance.
What if she heard the bad news about Yuan Niang's suicide halfway and returned to the imperial capital in anger to ask the emperor to give her an explanation
The queen is just not rich and can be persuaded easily, but she is not stupid after all.
No matter how much she lamented Empress Dowager Yuan's experience, she still hoped that Empress Dowager Yuan would go far away and not hinder her life.
After the Yuan family's disposal was implemented, the overturn of the boat and the life experience of the eighth prince were over. The courtiers were ready to make a move and decided to urge the investigation of the palace change because the Gu family had received this mission, but there was no news in these days.
Due to emotions and reasons, it is impossible for the ministers to let the Gu family continue to be delayed like this.
After all, this is a big matter, and if the Gu family doesn't have the ability to find out the truth, someone else should come in and get to the bottom of it.
As a result, Chunjia asked Princess Dongxing about King Chu's stupidity just after the idea came out.
At this time, no one had any intention to pay attention to the palace change. After all, the palace change had passed anyway, and the people who should be replaced in the Forbidden Army had also been replaced. For a while, it didn't look like it would cause any shock.
On the other hand, there is a lot of commotion about King Chu's stupidity. If things go wrong, the candidate for Qingci Palace may have to be changed in the future!
The temple was experiencing ups and downs one after another, and Yun Fenghuang naturally could not wait and see the changes.
She asked Chen Jing to tell Concubine De: "Your Majesty came to this palace before. I observed your words and felt that your Majesty may not just want to thoroughly investigate the matter of King Chu. I am afraid that you are suspicious of the clan. After all, King Chu is still alive. Don't forget Yushan County." Lord, the death was unclear, and so far we haven’t found the real culprit behind it!”
These words were passed to the eldest princess of Dongxing. The eldest princess frowned, but also thought: "Is it possible that your majesty suspects that there are still remnants of those who opposed the emperor's brother Shenzong back then, and he will extend his hand?" Entered the palace?"
