Concubine Jing's back was covered with sweat, and she pinched her palms that were already bloody and bloody. The pain that was transmitted to her made her calm down a little, and she forced a smile and said: "Go back to your concubine, if I come here in the bright moon, why don't you just ignore this matter?" …”
She took a deep breath, and her eyes were filled with emotions such as anger, guilt, fear, weakness, etc., which were changing rapidly. She lowered her eyes slightly before and whispered softly, "Empress, I... doubt... doubt Wan Jieyu, her suicide, no one else Affair!”
Qingren, who was standing beside Yun Fenghuang, frowned and was about to speak when he saw the imperial concubine wave her legs slightly and go to swallow what Qiu said.
Concubine Jing continued: "Although Wan Jieyu fell into a serious illness when she gave birth, because of her high status, she was carefully cared for by imperial doctors from the beginning of her pregnancy. In fact, she was not uncomfortable at first. Otherwise, she would have been under palace confinement. , it’s not like there are no rumors at all!”
Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "Well, that makes sense. Then I think, what's going on?"
"... As the empress knows, I grew up with Empress Shu, Concubine Wanjie and the late Concubine Wen Hui since childhood, and our relationship is... deep!" Concubine Jing tried her best to hold back her tears and said in a trembling voice, "Although Ru Ming There are high and low positions, and there have always been contacts. Wanjie Yu... After she fell ill in the east, I and Shu Fei often sent people to visit, and from time to time, they would give Wanjie the nourishing things in the quota. Yu!"
"It turns out that those things were not recommended by the imperial doctor for Wan Jieyu to eat regularly."
"Can you please, as Wan Jieyu ate... she got worse and worse."
"I didn't think much about it before. I just thought it was because of her chronic illness."
"Your son, Concubine Wanjie... has gone. I was the first to arrive at Linlang Palace. Her attendant... said something to me. I... I think there is something wrong with those nourishing things." ? "
A flash of surprise flashed in Yun Fenghuang's eyes, and Qing Ren also had a strange expression. He glanced at the imperial concubine and said loudly: "Oh? So, does Concubine Jing have doubts about Concubine Shu? Can you tell me why Concubine Shu asked to do that? ?”
"... Because Concubine Shu has a knee, she has to have a daughter." Concubine Jing lowered her head, blinked away a tear quickly, and tried her best to keep her voice from sobbing, "But there is no prince! Her real The target should also be my concubine! But I have always been in close contact with Wan Jie Yu. If Wan Jie Yu is here, even if... something goes wrong with me. The thirteenth prince who is my biological son may also be raised by Wan Jie Yu, and There is no guarantee that it will be handed over to Concubine Shu!"
"That doesn't make sense!" Yun Fenghuang reminded with a chuckle, "Concubine Shu Ming didn't have a prince at her knees. Could there have been one before? When the second prince was given to Concubine Shu to raise, Concubine Shu had a prince at her knees. The emperor has no heirs! The reason why the second prince was later transferred to Mrs. Qingshu was because Concubine Shu was wrong about the prince and didn't care... In this case, why did she have to plan for my thirteenth prince? "
Concubine Jing smiled miserably and said: "Returning to the concubine, is it because... the second prince's biological mother, Kang Jieyu, was born in the Ji family, and the Ji family has been destroyed! And, with all due respect, the second prince is dull in nature. , and His Majesty Dong was not pleased. However, the concubine’s natal family, the Luo family, was still there in the Ming Dynasty, and the population was prosperous. The thirteenth prince was young, very... clever but ruthless... The concubine Shu did not like the second prince, but... she coveted him. The Thirteenth Prince born from my concubine, naturally... will not let me go, I am very Wanjieyu! I regret that I woke up too late, and only became red in front of Wanjieyu's body... So... I left Linlang Palace At that time, I met Concubine Shu, so I entrusted the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixth Princess together, so that I could... I would paralyze Concubine Shu, lest she would not be able to wait for a moment, so she would send me to the east!"
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "No? I have heard that the Queen arrived before Concubine Shu went to Yuzhen Palace. Since I have such suspicions, why didn't I report it to the Queen? Is it possible that the Queen and Concubine Shu Could it be that we can’t be together?”
Concubine Jing's heart was shaken, and she quickly thought about what the concubine's words meant.
Do you want to be the queen
"...Reply to your Majesty." Concubine Jing hesitated for a moment, and felt that her life had never been so long. Fang gasped and whispered, "Because... Because the Sixth Princess... The Sixth Princess was also present at that time... Although the Sixth Princess was very small, Very ignorant. But I... The thirteenth prince and the sixth princess are about the same age as me... I really can't bear to say that to the queen in front of the sixth princess. Can you please take the sixth princess away? I... can't bear to part with you. After all... the Sixth Princess... can only spend so much time in the same room with her birth mother... Your Majesty... I... I really... do you really think so... "
Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang didn't force her to frame the queen, so he said slowly: "I see, it's not a pain for me."
There was a rustling sound across the screen, and then Concubine Fu's master and servant discussed in low voices. Their voices were so soft that Concubine Jing couldn't hear them clearly even if she held her breath and concentrated, so she bit her lip unconsciously.
After a while, the Qing people in front of the imperial concubine came out, smiled slightly, blessed her, and said: "The imperial concubine is tired, I would like to ask the imperial concubine Jing to help herself."
Concubine Jing didn't get the answer and was extremely reluctant, but she didn't dare to forcefully disturb the concubine who was tired of talking, so she had to let her go out.
When she got outside the door, she grabbed Qingren who seemed to beg to go away. She put her wrist on the bracelet and whispered, "Aunt Qingren, may I ask about those things you just said...?"
"Don't worry, Madam." The Qing people looked at her with amusement, and thought to themselves, what do I think the imperial concubine is doing except forcing Meng Youyi to death? In addition to giving the outsiders a powerful power, if Meng Youyi is gone, the person who killed her must be Concubine Shu... Can Yun Fenghuang ask for the help of these two concubines who came from a noble family, had a noble status, and were very good at bearing children for the emperor? Life, to shock the former harem!
In order to offset the palace coup, the emperor sent someone to pick up the two legitimate sons, but the influence brought by Qin Wang Zhaoqing was unfavorable!
It turned out that Yun Fenghuang stayed with Concubine Dong Jing, but she thought that the concubine was impatient and would inevitably cause trouble... What she wanted was for Concubine Jing to cause trouble!
In this way, when things got heated, it was only by taking action at that time that Concubine Shu was punished for murdering Meng Youyi, which would have the greatest effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys!
Who knew whether Concubine Jing was frightened or learned to be wise, she actually took the initiative to help Concubine Shu by handing her a ladder
Just now the Qing people asked in a low voice whether Yun Fenghuang wanted to let Concubine Jing dry out for a while and let her think carefully about Concubine Jing's real intention.
Are you really so desperate that you want to betray your friends for glory, so that you can keep your mother and son as the Sixth Princess? Do you have other plans
After all, Yun Fenghuang himself often designs on their experts. Although Concubine Jing has never been difficult for her since she entered the palace, but... who knows if someone will suddenly come up with a plan from behind
Take Gu Shao as an example. Xuanqing Palace has been operating secretly for a long time, and they are thinking about whether it is time to kill people and silence them. It turns out that someone is trying to gain advantage, and no clues have been found until now. !
The manipulator behind the scenes can be found in Gu Shao, but not in Concubine Jing
Yun Fenghuang didn't want to follow in the empress's footsteps and treat the traitor as one of his own and obey her orders.
At this moment, the people of the Qing Dynasty were unwilling to give Concubine Jing an accurate answer, so they lamented Wan Jieyu's miserable life and sent her away politely but forcefully.
Not to mention how resentful and unwilling Concubine Jing was on her way back, she just said that after the Qing people saw off the guests, she went back to Yun Fenghuang and resumed her life, saying: "Your Majesty, in fact, I think it is understandable for Concubine Jing to do what she did. After all, the Sixth Princess also That's all, that doesn't mean that Concubine Jing is her biological child. In the same way, Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing are not biological sisters! Even if they are biological sisters, how can they be compared to me? ? Concubine Jing chose to sell Concubine Shu at that time, which is actually quite normal."
Yun Fenghuang said: "That makes sense... But let me tell you, Concubine De and the others went to make trouble with Concubine Jing and Wan Jieyu for a day or two. Why didn't they do that before?"
"Wan Jieyu was there at that time." Qing Ren said, "Maybe they were holding out hope for the worst?"
"So just after Meng left, Concubine Jing figured it out?" Yun Fenghuang said with a smile, "Not only did she figure it out, but she also thought of a way to dispel my murderous intention in a short time? I Do you think Concubine Jing has that kind of patience? Does she have that kind of patience? Can she collapse in front of me before?"
Qingren was startled and said: "What?"
"Keep her cold for a few days." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Concubine Shu must have done Wanjieyu's death. Since Concubine Jing has sorted out the story, there is no need for Hong. Bu Nao, While Concubine Jing was in the cold, she asked Chen Jing to be more careful and tidy up all the evidence of the two confessions! In short, the case can be overturned in the future, but... it has nothing to do with me. Please find it, and you can't find Jing either. Concubine, are you Minghong?"
Seeing the Qing people lowering their heads to accept the order, she raised her face, thought for a moment, and asked, "How about getting closer to the front court?" "
Of course the previous dynasty was not very good.
First of all, the Imperial City Secretary sent back news that after receiving the order, Uncle Zhaowu promised to return to the court as soon as possible to resume his duties, but... Xifa was reluctant to release him, and specially sent a messenger to the Imperial City Secretary who had conveyed the message. The two came to the imperial capital together to intercede for Uncle Zhaowu.
The meaning of that incident is enough to make the government and the opposition in the east awe-inspiring.
In the past two months, some ministers were acting on behalf of Zheng Ju, requesting a thorough investigation into whether Zheng Ju's death was suicide or whether it was a murder
"That's not too wrong." Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows after hearing the last thing and said, "Zheng Ju was not a famous official with high reputation among friends and confidants. He was a eunuch who died in After being imprisoned, it would not be a good idea for the ministers to think of Princess Yun'an's face if he was not thrown into jail. Let alone complaining to him over and over again like that?"
The Qing people didn't quite understand those things, so they heard this and said, "If your Majesty said that, there must be something wrong. It's no wonder that Bidong was rumored to have been in a bad mood during the past two months."
I asked out of curiosity, "Then... Madam, tell me, why do those ministers keep complaining to Zheng Ju?"
"Eighty percent, Zheng Ju, no, it should be said that Yun'an's consort, what kind of leverage does he have on them?" Yun Fenghuang laughed and said, "Otherwise, it would be strange that they would act like that."
In her opinion, if someone in the family was an official in the government, there would be plenty of scope for making a fuss about that matter.
but…
She doesn't have one at home.
So Yandong could just listen to it.
"Have Xiaoqi come here to pay his respects in the past two months?" Thinking of the courtiers, he naturally thought of Yin Qu, the important minister with whom she had the most friendly relationship. Yun Fenghuang sighed and asked, "Bring him here occasionally to get closer to Fifteen."
In the past, she had never taught the seventh prince to be close to the ninth prince, because the two princes were almost the same age and had always been raised together. Moreover, Yun Fenghuang did not want the seventh prince to be too close to King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing.
After all, King Qin and Zhao Qing were already on the same side. What would be the benefit of her adopted sons and daughters working together to harm her
When the children need to rely on her mother-in-law when they are young, unity and harmony are not a worry.
When he grows up, has his own ideas, and works together... then Yun Fenghuang will no longer be passive.
Therefore, before getting pregnant, Yun Fenghuang's plan was to have King Zhaoqing of Qin, the Seventh Prince, and the Ninth Prince form a group, with both sides vying for favor, and himself acting as a check and balance. This would be the safest way.
But now, with fifteen years of age, she certainly does not favor her own flesh and blood.
But there is no need to neglect the other children because of this. After all, they were all raised by her, and they may not be useless in the future, but why should they fall into the trap so easily
Then he added, "No, Xiaojiu... Let them go and see their brother if they have nothing to do."
As for King Qin and Zhao Qing, Yun Fenghuang's eyes became lighter and he said calmly, "They have both entered school, so they should put their studies first."
