"Everyone is worried!" After Xie Kuo left, Yun Fenghuang called Qing Ren to him and ordered her to deal with the aftermath so that Chunjia would not find out the clues. He sighed, "I originally thought that a little child It's not a big deal on my mind, but what's the result? I dare to do tricks in front of His Majesty. This kind of courage may not have been possible when I was as old as them."
Qingren said softly: "They knew that the queen was there, otherwise, how could they be so bold?"
Yun Fenghuang sighed softly and said: "Yes, I can protect them for a day. But... if I am good at it..."
"Bah, bah, bah, what did the empress say?!" Qingren said quickly, "The empress is blessed with great blessings, so she will be fine! Look at the empress De Fei next door, she has a son and a daughter, isn't she doing well? "
Isn’t that the protection of this palace
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, if it weren't for me, Concubine De's presence or absence would be a problem.
But I can only rely on myself for everything!
She had no intention of arguing with the Qing people about this issue. She only said: "I have always preferred Meng'er and Mei'er. As a result, these two children are more filial than filial, but they lack some ambition and government. Although Kuo'er is not my direct niece, , after all, she is of her own flesh and blood. Since she has this intention, it doesn’t matter if I give her a lift. Just ask Chen Jing to look around the Imperial Capital to see if there is anything suitable for her."
After a pause, he then ordered, "I have been lying on the couch to rest for the past two days. I will ask the imperial doctor to come over tomorrow to prescribe anti-fetal medicine. Do you understand?"
Concubine Min's niece was murdered in the Huanhua Palace and almost died on the spot. The news that the concubine's fetus was unstable due to stimulation and that she might have a miscarriage spread throughout the palace the next day.
The queen was a little surprised when she heard it at first, and asked her to send something to express her gratitude to show her palace's tolerance and generosity. However, she was reminded: "Your Majesty, if the empress dowager is still in the palace, Huanhua Hall If something goes wrong, the first person to be suspected is Chunyou Palace. But now, the loving mother the Queen Mother is gone, and you say something went wrong with the Imperial Concubine, who is the most suspicious?"
Gu Zhen said casually: "What else can be said? In this palace, there are many people who are jealous and hold grudges, but secretly they don't like the imperial concubine! Especially the mothers of several imperial concubines. Except for Zhaoqing, the other imperial concubines At this age, the number of times I have seen His Majesty may not be as many as the three sisters Xie Meng and Aunt Zhan's Smooth Saint! Who is happy?"
She is not even happy!
She doesn't have a princess under her knees, and the princes are not her biological children. That's it. The queen thinks that the children in front of her may not see their biological father as often as Xie Meng and other outsiders, so why not secretly grit her teeth? Not to mention those who worked so hard to give birth to the royal daughter.
But there is no way. Who said that the emperor is willing to go to her if the imperial concubine is so pampered
I can only endure it.
As the queen said this, she felt a little silent looking at her from left to right.
She was stunned for a moment, then reacted and subconsciously sat up straighter: "Is it possible that Your Majesty will still doubt me?!"
"Your Majesty, your majesty is wise and powerful, so naturally you will not doubt your Majesty." Zuo Xin said, the loving mother the Queen Mother is gone, now someone is murdering the noble concubine, how can the middle palace not be among the suspects? Tactfully reminded, "But the imperial concubine has always been suspicious, this..."
Queen, wake up!
Who doesn't know that the imperial concubine has no rivals in the palace, except that her status is lower than yours and she can't directly confront your loving mother, the Queen Mother
Now that your majesty's two queens have left to return to their hometown, even if you don't go to trouble the Xuanqing Palace, can the Xuanqing Palace let you go
Even if this matter has nothing to do with the palace, it still can't stand up to the concubine's scheming. Who knows whether the fire will come to Chongchang Palace
"..." Only now did Gu Zhen realize the seriousness of the problem. After Chunjia's heart-to-heart talk, the queen still trusted the emperor now and felt that he would not inexplicably suspect her of murdering the imperial concubine. But what the attendants said made sense. Just because she doesn't cause trouble for the imperial concubine doesn't mean that the imperial concubine doesn't cause trouble for her either!
She calmed down and said, "I will go to see your majesty right now and ask your majesty to investigate thoroughly and find out who is so bold as to murder the imperial concubine and the emperor's heir!"
"That's what the empress said." You were very pleased with the queen's rationality. After all, if the imperial concubine really intended to frame the queen, she might not be able to prove her innocence given the queen's level. It would be better to leave the matter to the emperor.
So Gu Zhen went to find Chunjia, and felt indignant and sympathetic towards the imperial concubine.
However, the emperor's attitude was a little cold. He listened calmly and said quietly: "I understand. Is there anything else? If not, I still have some government affairs to deal with here."
Gu Zhen had long been accustomed to him being neither salty nor indifferent to him, so he didn't think much about it. Hearing this, he stood up and saluted, saying, "I have disturbed Your Majesty. I will leave now."
She didn't know that she had left the Taichu Palace, and Chunjia ordered Yan Yin to check the recent developments of the Gu family: "The queen does not have the ability to murder the noble concubine, but the Gu family does not. Now that the incident has come out, the queen is here Asking me to investigate thoroughly, it may not be a cover-up. I remember that when I went to summer vacation last year, the imperial concubine was not yet pregnant, and she was also murdered, but the queen was not so active!"
When Yan Yin agreed, he was silent for a while, and finally ordered, "Before the two queens left the palace... check the people and things they came into contact with."
"Slave, I obey."
Watching Yan Yin go out to give orders, Chunjia put the ink pen on the pen mountain and looked at the jade bonsai not far away, slightly lost in thought.
The Emperor, who was in the prime of his life, still had a young and handsome face, but there were obvious marks between his eyebrows.
He subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed it. When Yan Yin came back and continued to serve the pen and ink, he had already returned to his expressionless and dignified appearance.
In the harem, in the Huanhua Hall, Yun Fenghuang listened to the attendant telling the queen to go find Chunjia herself for the matter of Xie Meng. He curled his lips contemptuously: "This idea must have come from her. She herself, at this moment I’m afraid I haven’t even reacted yet…”
She gently brushed her face with the fan in her hand, and beat the bamboo mat repeatedly, thinking thoughtfully, "What did the imperial doctor say this morning?"
"The imperial doctor said that the mother's fetus is stable and she will not give birth prematurely." Qing Ren knelt on the footrest, squeezed her legs, and said softly, "Of course, he has also prescribed the medicine to protect the fetus. He said that if the mother is serious, If you drink it, it won’t be a hindrance.”
In this way, even if Yun Fenghuang was launched according to the delivery date, it would be regarded as the imperial doctor's skill in protecting the fetus, rather than deliberately deceiving the emperor.
Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes, quickly calculated for a moment, and suddenly said: "Go and ask him personally, if I take something to induce labor at this moment, will it hinder the emperor's heir?"
"Your Majesty?!" The Qing people were startled and hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty, you must not do this! We are only a few days away from each other. Your Majesty already feels very sorry for you, so why risk your own body, bones, and the emperor's heir? ?”
"Just because there are only a few days left, I don't expect anything serious to happen!" Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "Besides, I have asked the imperial doctor... If the doctor has a way, then what is there to worry about?"
"But… "
"But what?" Yun Fenghuang interrupted impatiently, "Even if I give birth to full term, is it possible that you can guarantee that the wife will be peaceful and the emperor will be healthy and intelligent? Such things are impossible to say! What does it matter if we give birth a few days in advance!"
The Qing man held the edge of the couch and earnestly advised: "Mother, don't be so radical! It is true that full-term delivery may not be as satisfactory as expected. But please think about it, if it happens, please forgive me for saying such heart-breaking words, don't be afraid of anything." Ten thousand, just in case! How much regret will I have when the time comes?!"
Yun Fenghuang turned his head to look at her and said slowly: "Qingren, I want to ask you, if I give birth to a child smoothly, and get a boy, and the emperor is very smart, do you think His Majesty will change his mind? Are you going to abandon your legitimate son and make him the crown prince instead?"
The Qing man was startled and said hesitantly: "This..."
Of course this is impossible!
When she was thinking about the appropriate words, Yun Fenghuang sneered and said: "Yes, this is impossible. At least it is impossible for now! Because so far, His Majesty's intention to establish a legitimate son is very firm. The prince is four years old this year, and the twelfth prince is three years old. Children grow up very quickly. In three or two years, they will be able to go to school! This time the twelfth prince is in trouble, and your majesty will immediately send him to school. He has been kept in the side hall to take care of him till now! Although I understand that this is because he does not trust the queen, and is afraid that he will not be able to support his legitimate son if he returns to the queen's side now, but... When Zhaoqing broke his leg, His Majesty mentioned that he should let the child go. Do you want to rest in Taichu Palace?"
The Qingren said: "Your Majesty, this is different... Not to mention that Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing is a royal daughter, can your Majesty's trust in you and the Queen's trust be the same?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "Because the queen is incompetent, even if your majesty doesn't like her, you will still be more considerate of the people and things that your majesty cares about. Because I make your majesty think that you are smart and capable, so here, he always On the one hand, I feel reassured, but on the other hand, I feel uneasy.”
Don't worry that the imperial concubine can take care of herself and still have enough energy to harm other people and things.
"In fact, His Majesty has always been torn between trust and distrust of me. He admires my talents but is also afraid of my talents. The reason why I have such a status now is simply because his heart is still there. On this palace." As Yun Fenghuang spoke, he raised his hand to touch his cheek. In the early spring of the seventh year of Chunjia, she was fifteen years old and entered the palace in a hurry.
This year is the early summer of thirteen years, and she is twenty-one.
At this time, even if she is still beautiful and charming, it is considered that her best years have passed.
Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Is it because of the constant events in the harem these past two years that you thought that there would be no more newcomers in this palace? Or do you think that newcomers will never be my opponents? I am now I have just given birth to my first child at this age. When the child’s hair is tied, what do you think is the possibility that I will still dominate the king’s heart?”
"Do you know what is most taboo for a concubine like me who has no family background? The most taboo thing is to hope for the future."
“Because today I don’t know if there will be a tomorrow. I am blessed with great favor this year, but tomorrow’s spring is uncertain and the deserted graves will be silent... Don’t place too much hope on the king’s longevity, and don’t place too much hope on the king’s nostalgia.”
"There are people coming and going from the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard. No matter how much kindness he has, they can't be divided."
"What's the benefit? It's only when you hold it in your hands that it becomes real."
"Furthermore, whether I am today or in the future, I have always relied on myself, not on any of my own flesh and blood. Do you understand?"
Concubine Min looked coldly at Qing Ren, who was speechless and at a loss, and said slowly, "Go and ask the imperial doctor now, and act more swiftly... As long as the oxytocin is not harmful to me, I will give birth today! You are plotting to murder Meng'er. The real culprit who caused my miscarriage has implicated the mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager, and Zhaowu Bofu! It took me six years since I entered the palace to have such a child. This birth is also the most difficult one I have ever encountered. , I don’t care how many dragnets they have prepared, but even if I can’t survive, no one can think of those who plot to harm me or those who may plot to harm me!”
Watching Qingren climb up from his feet and sit up, running out in a hurry, Yun Fenghuang gently caressed his lower abdomen, his face was as frosty, and there was no pity, no regret, no guilt in his eyes, only calmness.
She has already thought about it!
If her delivery goes well, then it means that Queen Mother Yuan and the Gu family's conspiracy was not completely successful; if her delivery does not go smoothly, or if something bad happens to the child after birth, then of course both parties will take the blame!
When Yun Fenghuang is still alive, of course he will confidently ask the emperor for justice; if unfortunately he is gone, he will stab Chunjia in his heart for the Empress Dowager Yuan and the Gu family that can never be healed!
As for whether this is fair to the child in my belly...
Yun Fenghuang didn't care at all.
Since she has made it this far on her own, why should her top priority not be herself
As it was approaching midnight that night, Chunjia, who had just fallen asleep, was called out cautiously by Yan Yin: "Your Majesty, someone from Huanhua Palace is here. It's the imperial concubine... who gave birth prematurely!"
