Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, raised his head and asked, "I can't get my concubine out of Huzhu Palace now, but what about the future?"
"If there is a chance in the future, I certainly don't want to make my aunt and Qingman sad." Concubine Shu glanced at her appreciatively and softened her tone, "After all, although you are not my Yun family's daughter, I am my aunt's biological niece. She's my cousin. If she wasn't forced to do so, she's all a relative of mine, so why would I want to embarrass you?"
"Empress." After hearing her words, Yun Fenghuang seemed to be secretly relieved and became more courageous. His eyes flashed and he asked tentatively, "Although Huzhu Palace sounds like a dragon's den and a tiger's den, Concubine Yue is indeed not tolerant. A kind person, but now I have greatly offended her... However, since the empress is willing to talk to me in detail, I guess I may not be facing a certain death situation now?"
Otherwise, why are you wasting your breath when there are dead people on both sides
Concubine Shu's eyes showed even more admiration: "This is one of the reasons why I prefer you to enter the palace... You are really smart."
She pointed out, "In the final analysis, this matter was caused by Empress Ji digging a hole for Concubine Yue's aunt and nephew, and it had nothing to do with us originally. Concubine Yue has an impulsive temperament and is jealous of everyone she meets, but Empress Dowager Yuan is not a confused person. . Empress Dowager Yuan vowed to hire a noble girl for Huzhu Palace in order to prove that her niece was not a jealous woman who was narrow-minded and could not tolerate others. Although Concubine Yue was stupid and did not understand her aunt's painstaking efforts, after If there is such a fuss today, how can Empress Dowager Yuan not watch? So you don’t need to be too afraid now, Concubine Yue can’t defeat Empress Dowager Yuan after all.”
... Yun Fenghuang left Tongxia Palace amid Yun Qingman's repeated apologies. On the way back to Huzhu Palace, Nianxuan, who had heard his master say a few words in the front hall for a while, was doubtful: "Is it really that simple? Na Yi Why does the Duke's Mansion ask you to support Yun Meiren? My servant thinks that Concubine Shu is coaxing us, right?"
"There's nothing we can do about it." Yun Fenghuang said lazily, "We entered the palace unexpectedly, how could we know so much? Now there is no other way to find out the news. It's just what Concubine Shu said. But the two of you just came out yesterday. I fell into the water, if there is anything wrong with my feet, Concubine Yue won’t be able to wash it off even if she jumps into the pool of liquid liquid. For this reason, Concubine Shu’s words do make some sense.”
But this can only ensure temporary peace, not a long-term solution.
Nianxuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then she frowned again, "Ms. Concubine Shu mentioned our family, this?"
She didn't think that the care that Concubine Shu said was really care.
"Tsk!" Yun Fenghuang didn't take Concubine Shu's euphemistic threats to heart at all, he sneered and said, "Our place is the territory of the Dingbei Army, and it's not easy for the Duke of Yi State to reach over! Besides, I am now the daughter of the Yun family declared by Duke Yi personally. If the Yun family really dares to do anything to the Xie family, do you believe that I will assassinate the emperor and the empress tomorrow and send them to a fight that will implicate the nine clans?"
Nian Xuan asked anxiously: "How can this be done? Where is the Yun family's business from you?"
Such a stupid maid... Never mind, she is still loyal at least.
Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart and said expressionlessly: "Do you really think that Concubine Yun Shu will send people to the North to take care of Xie for me? You think too highly of your Baolin family!"
She bet that Concubine Yun Shu just mentioned it casually. It would be best if she could scare Yun Fenghuang, but it didn't matter if she couldn't.
At least it doesn't matter for now.
After all, Yun Fenghuang has just entered the palace, and it’s hard to say whether she will be useful in the future. The manpower in Yiguo Duke’s Mansion is not that idle. At present, with her weight, she can at most send people to inquire about Xie’s situation in preparation for the future. With... If Yun Fenghuang doesn't reach a certain status, Concubine Yun Shu can suppress her in the palace by herself, so what else can she do to the north with all her troops
... The master and the servant strolled back to Huzhu Palace. Halfway there, the surrounding area was deserted. Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes and suddenly stopped, asking Nianxuan to look for a cleaner place nearby. She planned to sit down for a while and then go back.
Nian Xuan looked at the lush vegetation on both sides of the palace road and hesitated: "Baolin, are there snakes and insects here? If you are tired, let's go a little further. Maid, remember there is a pavilion?"
"Just be obedient, why are you making your own decisions?" Yun Fenghuang frowned, took off the silk draped on his arm, and beat the grass and trees to scare away the snakes and insects as he walked down. Soon he found a place behind a hibiscus hedge. The general sat down in the grass. It can be seen that this flower fence should have stretched for tens of feet in the past. It must have been beautiful when the flowers were in bloom. But due to years of disrepair, only about three to four feet in length are left. In this season, the leaves are tender and green, swaying in the wind, which is really cute.
Although it is not dense enough, the clothes of the master and servant are not luxurious and complicated. People hiding behind it must not be seen by people on the palace road without going around.
After Yun Fenghuang sat down neatly, he followed Nianxuan who sat down in a daze and was about to speak, but his eyes were severely gouged out and signaled to be silent!
Nian Xuan was puzzled. She kept quiet for a moment, but saw no movement around her. She wanted to say something. She raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of her master's expressionless face. She shrank her head, resisted the urge to ask, and pulled the hand in front of her out of boredom. grass.
After a while, I heard someone coming from the direction of Huzhu Palace, laughing and joking. Mixed with the palace people's cries and complaints, it was very lively... Nianxuan couldn't help but stop pulling the grass, subconsciously looking through the gaps between the hibiscus branches and leaves. Peeping, she could see her eyes getting wider and wider as she looked, even holding her breath in concentration. After a while, the group of people walked away, and she carefully mouthed to ask if she could speak again.
"Tell me." Yun Fenghuang stood up happily, "Who did you see just now?"
"The person starting with it seems to be one of the sisters in front of the Queen." Although Yun Fenghuang said he could speak, Nianxuan still whispered as if she was afraid of being overheard, "Those they arrested... are the palace servants of Huzhu Palace. , the one at the head is served by Concubine Yue."
Yun Fenghuang was not surprised by this. He chuckled and said, "I just thought that the Queen had taken us all to leave, and Queen Mother Ji was still suppressing Concubine Yue, or she was waiting for Queen Mother Yuan to go and plead for mercy. Or, it is to move the tiger away from the mountain so that the queen can clean up the Huzhu Palace on behalf of Concubine Yue."
Who told Concubine Yue to be in charge of the palace and cause the murder of Xinjin Baolin
This is a person who wants to serve the emperor and continue the bloodline of the royal family. However, he was pushed into the water just after entering the palace... Can this not be investigated thoroughly
Although there is a lord in Huzhu Palace, but the lord was also in the palace at the time, something like this still happened. Obviously Concubine Yue's ability in this matter is not enough to convince the public. In this way, the queen, as the lord of the Sixth Palace, , of course I helped get to the bottom of it.
"I'm afraid Concubine Yue's confidants will be destroyed now." Nian Xuan's eyes lit up and she said happily, "Even if we add more people later, who knows who they will be? Even if I want to embarrass you Baolin then, I’m afraid it’s just because I’m powerless!”
Just when she felt that her Baolin was really smart and clever, she heard Yun Fenghuang say lightly: "There's nothing to be happy about. From now on, Concubine Yue won't dare to do anything to us rashly, but others may not, for example. The Queen."
Nianxuan was stunned and said: "The Queen...?"
"The queen can get a bed-crawling prostitute to trouble Concubine Yue, but can't she let the newly promoted Baolin die in Huzhu Palace and accuse the master of the first palace?" Yun Fenghuang sneered and said, "If it weren't for your master, I would react quickly. , when he saw that he was assigned to Huzhu Palace, which has the worst reputation, he knew that there was probably something wrong with him, so he took advantage of the opportunity of being summoned by the Queen to make up a story about being pushed into trouble. Believe it or not, our two lives are now being ruined. Did the queen arrange everything?"
That's right, the incident of being pushed into the water was made up by Yun Fenghuang himself, and was not a hint from the Queen's attendant at all.
Yun Fenghuang was not sure whether he could deceive Concubine Shu with this argument. After all, Yun Fenghuang entered the palace as the daughter of the Yun family, and the Yun family and the Ji family had different positions in the previous dynasty. The daughters of the two families were in the palace. I also knew that the relationship couldn't be too harmonious. Under such circumstances, how could the queen trust Yun Fenghuang who had just entered the palace and didn't know that Yun Fenghuang would cooperate with him to frame Concubine Yue
In fact, the queen's people just told Yun Fenghuang not to be afraid of Concubine Yue when he came to the palace, and they just said whatever they wanted.
Originally, Concubine Shu took the initiative to attack Concubine Yue, but the Queen was happy to mediate and suppressed Concubine Yue, who she disliked even more, so there was no need for unnecessary actions.
If Concubine Yue and Concubine Shu believed her lies, Yun Fenghuangxin said, this meant that the three of them were more wary and suspicious of each other than she had expected.
It also means that the rift between the court forces behind them is irreparable.
This thought flashed through her mind. The previous dynasty was not within Yun Fenghuang's hands. What she was mainly facing now was the Sixth Palace.
"There was no Concubine Shu to explain the situation in the Sixth Palace before, so I had to pull someone who was pushed into the water and throw stones to ask for directions." Yun Fenghuang sorted out his plan and whispered to Nian Xuan. There was no way, although this maid was not smart enough. , but at least he is a loyal servant. Currently, this is the only subordinate she can count on in this palace. If she is not explained clearly, who knows whether it will be of no help. "I didn't expect that it was a mistake, but it inadvertently provoked the relationship between Empress Dowager Ji and The fight between Empress Dowager Yuan and her aunt and nephew... Now that Concubine Yue is at a disadvantage, even if she wants to touch us, Empress Dowager Yuan will definitely suppress her, even Your Majesty."
"On the other hand, Empress Dowager Ji and the Empress Dowager have already grasped the reason why Concubine Yue is so harsh on the concubines. At this time, as long as there are any casualties among the concubines of Huzhu Palace, they can be framed on Concubine Yue, especially me who is self-reliant. I have been to Baolin where the people of Huzhu Palace were murdered."
Therefore, in comparison, for Yun Fenghuang, Empress Dowager Ji's aunt and nephew are now more dangerous.
The most terrible thing is that these two are more prominent than Empress Dowager Yuan's aunt and nephew, and their power in the palace is far greater than that of the latter!
Being targeted by them, one can imagine Yun Fenghuang's plight!
Seeing that Nian Xuan's face turned slightly pale, she hurriedly spoke faster, "Fortunately, Empress Dowager Yuan's aunt and nephew are not alone in this palace. There is another person who will not watch their downfall under any circumstances!"
Nianxuan asked subconsciously: "Who?"
Yun Fenghuang looked like a fool: "Of course... Your Majesty!"
Emperor Chunjia probably wouldn't care about the life or death of a newly promoted Baolin, especially when Yun Fenghuang humiliated Concubine Yue in front of him, out of respect for Concubine Yue's aunt and nephew, especially the respect for Empress Dowager Yuan. , he must also stand as Yuan's aunt and nephew.
But now everyone knows that Yun Fenghuang was pushed into the water by the palace servants of Huzhu Palace
If there is something wrong with this Baolin, Yuan's aunt and nephew will be the first to escape!
Unless Emperor Chunjia ignores them, even if he doesn't like it, he has to keep Yun Fenghuang's life and safety at heart!
But to be honest, Yun Fenghuang doesn't really trust the protection of the emperor who has never been in charge. The main thing she wants now is, "Even if your majesty has to compromise for Yuan's aunt and nephew, how can the majestic Ninth Five-Year Supreme Lord spend so much time on it?" On my little Baolin?"
So one can imagine how Emperor Chunjia would handle this matter: find an excuse to send Yun Fenghuang out of Huzhu Palace as soon as possible.
As long as the person is no longer in Huzhu Palace, it will not be so easy to touch Concubine Ci Yue if there is someone who is both good and bad in the future.
However, the queen has always made the final decision on the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the concubines in the harem. Although Emperor Chunjia is an emperor, he still has no power in his hands, but he cannot make decisions beyond the queen... Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and there was only one way for this emperor. method to achieve the goal euphemistically.
After a while, the master and the servant returned to Huzhu Palace leisurely. They knew that the Ningbi Palace was probably in a mess at the moment, so they didn't mind it and took a detour back to Xixingxuan.
Just as Yun Fenghuang sat down and took a sip of tea, a rough envoy from outside led a young eunuch in. He said that he had been ordered by Emperor Chunjia's former eunuch Jiang Lan to inform Yun Baolin to prepare to sleep at night.
According to a tacit understanding, the queen's arrangements for the accommodation of new concubines are usually based on their status, the official positions of their fathers and brothers, or the emperor's preference... Anyway, no one is the leader.
Emperor Chunjia simply had a reason for sending him up for roll call: "Your Majesty said that Baolin was frightened and aggrieved when he fell into the water yesterday, so I came to see Baolin tonight."
