The imperial concubine was startled when she heard this. Yun Fenghuang was about to ask questions when he caught sight of the emperor. He rolled his eyes and stood up in a hurry. He put his hands on his forehead and fell down as if unable to support himself!
"Ahuang!" Chunjia was mainly surprised by the news about Xie Meng's hanging beam, and had no other thoughts for a while. However, seeing that Yun Fenghuang was so aroused, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly helped the imperial concubine to sit down, " Don't worry, the palace official only said that there was a hanging beam but didn't say that something really happened. Maybe he was discovered just after hanging it up?"
When he said this, he held Yun Fenghuang behind his back and signaled to the palace attendants with his eyes.
The palace man didn't know whether he understood it or not, but nodded: "Your Majesty is right! Madam, please be patient, Miss Meng has been rescued. Miss Mei and Miss Kuo are with you now!"
While they were talking, Qingren and other attendants from outside crowded in. They were extremely anxious around Yun Fenghuang. Qingren almost shed tears and said that his mother-in-law's life was miserable. The other concubines in the palace were pregnant, even if they were pregnant. As for the concubine, she is well fed and fed, so there is nothing to worry about. Only their mother-in-law, who is already a prince and a daughter, still has such turmoils going on.
Chunjia knew that this was said specifically to her, but because it was the truth, she felt that the imperial concubine had been wronged.
He suppressed his irritation and asked someone to call the imperial doctor. After a diagnosis, the imperial doctor actually didn't think there was anything wrong with Yun Fenghuang. He was just doing things within the palace confinement. The most important thing was not the medical skills but the look in his eyes. Before he came, he asked about the whole story. Now, The son followed the scene and said some angry and heart-wrenching words for the imperial concubine, so that the bed could recover.
As for medicine, of course I wouldn’t dare to prescribe it.
Maybe the emperor didn't notice whether something was wrong with the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine herself didn't know
It would be fine if the imperial doctor would just prescribe a few nourishing prescriptions in normal times. Now that I am pregnant and about to give birth, if something happens to me, Yun Fenghuang can take care of it without going through Chunjia. he.
The imperial doctor said: "Originally, I should have prescribed some soothing decoction, but now that the empress is pregnant, for the sake of the emperor's heir, it is better to rest."
Hearing this, Qingren and others became more and more sad, and they all lamented the difficulty of their mother-in-law.
The emperor dismissed the imperial doctor with a sullen face. Seeing the imperial concubine lying on the couch with her eyes closed and looking very weak, he comforted her after hearing the words. Seeing that her complexion was getting better, he struggled to ask Xie Meng about it, and said : "Why do you need to worry about this when you have too much time to take care of yourself? It's better for me to do it."
He asked Yan Yin to investigate thoroughly on the spot.
Yan Yin came back once and reported to the imperial concubine that Xie Meng had heard the rumors about the palace ban and that she admired the Marquis of Yongchun. The girl was young and thin-skinned, so she could not think of such a thing for a while. Fortunately, she was caught in time. He was saved, but now he regrets it very much: "Miss Meng originally wanted to come over immediately to apologize to the empress, but she was very scared. The servant looked pitiful, so she took it upon herself to ask Miss Meng to take good care of her and wait for two days. Come and apologize to the queen again."
Chunjia breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said quickly: "Did you hear that? Meng'er is fine. You should take care of yourself first. Otherwise, Meng'er will come back and come over to see you. Seeing that you don't look good, I'm afraid I’m getting more and more sad and heartbroken.”
Yun Fenghuang frowned and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I doubt Eunuch Yan Yin. But I have raised Meng'er since she was a child. I also know her nature. When encountering such a thing, an ordinary girl's family might She was so embarrassed and angry that she couldn't think about it. But what Meng'er said might not be like this. Even if she really felt that this matter made her embarrassed to face others, she had to seek justice for herself first. How could there be such a silent hanging? This determination It’s not Meng’er’s nature!”
"Every little girl has a changeable mind. It's not surprising that today she will be like this and tomorrow she will be that way." Chun Jia was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked at Yan Yin. He saw that Yan Yin was standing upright and humble, but his hands were quietly moving. He immediately knew the posture that attracts attention, and persuaded with a smile, "Besides, you think Meng'er has always had rules. If there are rumors that she is with other people, she will just settle it, but with Yongchun Marquis. Yongchun Marquis is a clan relative, and she I have always been filial to you, why am I going to trouble Marquis Yongchun to cause trouble for you? Meng'er will definitely not do this. Isn't such a Meng'er confused because he can't think about it? This child is young, so it is When you are easily impulsive, as an aunt, don’t argue with her.”
"...Really?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and reluctantly accepted his explanation, but then asked with a strange expression, "Your Majesty seems to know the thoughts of little girls very well?"
It was a good thing she didn't mention this. As soon as she mentioned this, the emperor remembered that he came here just to confront the imperial concubine.
But as he said the words, he looked at Yun Fenghuang's pale face, and felt a little unbearable. He thought to himself that I, the majestic emperor, don't have to argue with Ahuang like this, that's all, I'll settle the accounts after she is out of confinement.
Then he said: "Didn't I say that Meng'er is the most like you? Wasn't that what you were like when you first entered the palace? You would think about this and that."
Yun Fenghuang then calmed down and said, "I was thinking about this and that, and it was just to let His Majesty see me?"
Chunjia smiled half-heartedly: "Really?"
Seeing her nodding her head affirmatively, with a calm look on her face, she seemed a bit dumbfounded. She nodded her forehead in vain and sighed: "If you see the sky, you will say nice things to fool me."
After chatting and joking with the imperial concubine for a while, he looked at her lackluster expression and left.
After leaving the Xuanqing Palace, the emperor's expression suddenly turned cold. He stood with his hands behind his back and asked Yanyin: "What's going on?!"
"At that time, the imperial concubine was eagerly waiting for the news. This servant did not dare to delay, so she could only conduct a cursory check." Yan Yin quickly whispered, "Although we don't know who did it yet, the imperial concubine's feeling may be right, Miss Meng. Miss Mei, Miss Kuo, and the three ladies’ attendants who hurriedly arrived before they woke up, all said that Miss Meng is definitely not someone who can’t think too hard!”
Chunjia sneered and said: "Xie Meng is the one who came to the imperial concubine's knees not long after I took charge. I have also heard about her nature. It is true that she will not commit suicide for such a small thing. Now Xuanliang, There must be an inside story! Normally, the imperial concubine can figure out the whole story by herself, but now that the imperial concubine is pregnant, it’s too late to take care of herself. It’s better not to distract her... You should be smarter and get the truth out as soon as possible, so as not to The noble concubine is concerned, do you understand?"
Seeing Yan Yin agree, the emperor did not act immediately, but hesitated and said, "Since you have gone to see it yourself and feel that there is something inside, do you have any doubts?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Miss Meng and the others have rarely gone out since they entered the palace. If you come to your concubine's house, you will not care about the children." Yan Yin said in a low voice without moving his eyebrows, "I'm afraid the root cause is still with the imperial concubine. On the body. And in the palace, there are many people who are paying attention to the pregnancy of the imperial concubine openly and secretly... "
"I also think this matter is for the imperial concubine." Chunjia narrowed his eyes, wandering among the flowers and trees not far away, and said slowly, "The imperial concubine was very unhappy when she heard the news just now... Yes, In the early years, the imperial concubine thought that she could not have children, so she brought Xie Meng into the palace to raise her. Xie Meng looked exactly like the imperial concubine when she was young. The imperial concubine said she was raising a niece to look after, but in fact she was raising her as a daughter. In the imperial concubine's heart, Xie Meng may not be How much worse than Zhaoqing... Such a child is almost lost, how can the concubine not be frightened and angry because of her nature of attaching great importance to children? "
"Although I made excuses just now to downplay the matter, I'm afraid your concubine won't believe it."
"Perhaps I am desperately trying to get to the bottom of this right now!"
"In this way, at most noon tomorrow, even if we can't find the real culprit, we still have to find a culprit that can make the noble concubine believe it. Do you understand?"
"The imperial concubine's delivery date is approaching, and I don't want her to fall into any kind of trap just because she cares about her at this time!"
... In the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang didn't know that Chun Jia was worried about her. She had indeed summoned Xie Mei, Xie Kuo and other related people to interrogate her: "What on earth is going on? What kind of nature is Meng'er - Zi Bengong knows very well, there is no way he can’t think about something like this!”
According to Xie Meng's nature, although she must have been embarrassed and angry after learning the news, she should have run to Yun Fenghuang to complain and cry, asking her aunt to help her thoroughly investigate and find the real culprit and then come back with revenge.
This niece, who looks most like Yun Fenghuang, basically doesn't have the skills of her direct aunt, but she has learned the style of retribution and domineering arrogance. She is not the kind of person who suffers injustice and tolerates it silently. The master who will die on his own if he can't go down anymore.
Even if it was Marquis Yongchun who spread the rumors with her, Yun Fenghuang knew it well, and it was just a matter of the Marquis trying to scare others.
As for her nieces, apart from the emperor, there were probably not many dignitaries in the former harem whom they took seriously.
This is also a common mistake among small households. Once you reach a high level, you will inevitably become complacent.
It is also Yun Fenghuang who has been pregnant for many years and is about to give birth. Otherwise, he must personally train her to prevent her nieces from being so narrow-minded.
At this moment, looking at Xie Mi and Xie Kuo who "just in time" discovered Xie Meng's hanging beam, Yun Fenghuang asked with a gloomy face, "You really don't want to tell me? Is it because Huanhua Palace can't control my pregnancy these days?" "
"Aunt..." Hearing this, Xie Mi suddenly couldn't bear the pressure and opened his mouth subconsciously.
"Auntie, please step aside. My niece is willing to know everything and tell her everything!" Seeing this, Xie Kuo frowned slightly, took a step forward, and bowed, "Auntie, please accept my niece's unkind request!"
Yun Fenghuang stared at her, sneered, raised his head and stepped back, waiting for the door to close, ignoring Xie Mi who looked worried, and only said to Xie Kuo: "You are the one who instigated this matter? There’s no need to argue, I’m afraid Mei’er Meng’er doesn’t have the brains at all!”
Xie Mi was startled and said subconsciously: "Aunt Rongzhen, Kuo'er also has good intentions, she..."
"Shut up!" Yun Fenghuang shouted angrily, "You idiot, I don't even want to talk to you right now! Just stand aside for me and don't speak!"
Finally, he asked Xie Kuo to come to him and said, "What do you want to do? Come to me and recruit him!"
The question was like this. In fact, the imperial concubine had already guessed everything, so she was even more upset!
She knew that although the three nieces were raised equally under her knee, sooner or later they would differentiate themselves, but she didn't expect that they would differentiate so quickly.
Considering feelings and interests, Yun Fenghuang definitely hoped that Xie Meng or Xie Mei would lead the three of them, but he did not expect that these two nieces were so unsatisfactory, and together they were no match for Xie Kuo.
Now not only was Xie Meng properly arranged by Xie Kuo, but everything about hanging the beam was also done; Xie Mei still wanted to defend his cousin... Yun Fenghuang was also speechless. Could it be that all the four members of the Xie family were very thoughtful? Because of her and Jiang's mother and daughter, the niece's generation are all little fools who only look good but are useless
"Because His Majesty is here today." Xie Kuo pursed his lips and did not look at Xie Mei, who looked anxious. He forced himself to gather his energy, met Yun Fenghuang's gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Kuo'er, and Meng'er. Both sisters, Yi'er, hope to let Your Majesty see that even if the empress dowager, our loving mother, is gone, there are still people in this palace who are targeting my aunt and trying every possible means to murder her!"
Yun Fenghuang listened, unmoved, and said coldly: "You are kind-hearted? I also said that you think I am partial to Meng'er, and you want to take this opportunity to send her away!"
"Kuo'er don't dare!" Xie Kuo quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed as hard as he could, and said over and over again, "The two sisters Meng'er and Mei'er are my aunt's direct nieces. Kuo'er is separated by one layer, so he can be with the two It is a special favor from my aunt that my sister and I were raised together by my aunt! Moreover, during the years that Kuo'er was raised by his aunt, his food, clothing, housing, transportation, and education were all better than those of his two sisters. If it weren't for his aunt, Kuo'er would be just an ordinary member of the Xie family. What does it mean to be a legitimate daughter? Kuo'er's success today and his future are all due to his aunt! It's not an exaggeration to say that his aunt is Kuo'er's reborn parent! How dare Kuo'er hate Sister Meng'er, let alone Is it bad for Sister Meng'er?"
"Yes, aunt, Kuo'er really doesn't mean any harm to her." Xie Mi, who was next to him, couldn't help but interject, "Originally, she wanted to hang herself, but it was Meng'er's insistence that made her..."
"Shut up, you didn't hear me, or do you think I can't control you anymore?!" Before he could finish his words, he was frightened by Yun Fenghuang's loud shout and was immediately shut up. He saw Yun Fenghuang supporting Xiao Ji with one hand. , looking towards him with a deep look.
Although Xie Mei was the latest niece to enter the palace, she was still her biological niece, and Yun Fenghuang was also very kind to her.
This was the first time the girl saw Yun Fenghuang looking so angry, and she was stunned for a moment.
Yun Fenghuang became more and more angry. Why did she deal with such stupid nieces
Did Xie Kuo take the initiative to propose that he hang the beam without any malicious intention
What a joke!
She has been able to use this method of retreating to advance since she was a child. She has used this method to trick Xie Fenghuan countless times before. On which occasion did Xie Fenghuan not feel miserable and even think that she was the one looking for trouble
In the end, it was the turn of my nieces, who had beautiful eyebrows similar to hers, to be tricked by such little tricks!
Yun Fenghuang was a little confused for a while. Is it necessary for Xie Meng and Xie Mei to marry a noble son from a high family
Without his own support, these two nieces would have to be eaten without any bones left? ?
