Such a big thing happened in the middle palace, and the queen didn't have the ability to seal the news like an iron barrel, so naturally it spread throughout the six palaces very quickly.
After Yun Fenghuang heard this, he was very surprised, his expression became solemn, and he said to his surroundings: "A few days ago, there were rumors in the palace, doubting the queen's son, especially the legitimate son... As a result, something went wrong with the tenth prince. It seems that this rumor is going to be fulfilled. But I don’t know who is exerting the force. Is it possible that they will put the blame on me next, intending to kill two birds with one stone, and even deal with the Queen and me?"
It is up to oneself to judge others, which is what she would do if she were in a position where she might be in a position of superiority, such as a concubine and a concubine.
Chen Jing pondered for a while and said: "I forgive you, I am incompetent, but I haven't found any specific rumors. It only seems to be related to Chunyou Palace and Jiashan Palace, but... the clues in the middle seem to be obvious. point."
"There should probably be someone who has deliberately guided her." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "The Mother Queen Mother and the Holy Mother Queen Mother may not have any good intentions towards the current Queen, but they are no longer in the Imperial Capital, and they may not want the Queen to collapse now."
The main reason is that although Gu Zhen is not lovable, the advantage is that the city is shallow and lacks the ability to deal with it.
If Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu were still in the imperial capital, especially Empress Dowager Yuan, she could just change her to a queen she liked.
The key is that they are all back to Fuyang County now. Thousands of miles apart, because of the previous troubles in Xingningbo Mansion, Empress Dowager Yuan is not good, at least for a short period of time, she will not be able to openly interfere in the palace affairs. In this case, replace her. What good does Gu Zhen do to them
It was found out that it aroused Chunjia's resentment, and there would be no real benefit if it succeeded.
If someone takes advantage of it, for example, by replacing it with a powerful queen, the two queen mothers will be afraid that it will be even more inconvenient for them to say and do anything in the future. Is it worth it
"But who is doing this?" The people of the Qing Dynasty couldn't help but doubt Concubine Shu, "Could it be the Ouyang family? Ouyang Yanran is now an important minister of His Majesty. His Majesty and the Empress Dowager also promised that they might have a daughter in their family. Although the promise was broken later... but who knows if this family still has any ideas?"
After all, according to the concubine's suspicion, if something happens to the tenth prince and the empress is the culprit, and then the concubine is revealed to be the mastermind, and the concubine is eliminated in one fell swoop, wouldn't Concubine Shu become the best candidate
"Ouyang..." Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. That old guy Ouyang Yanran is cunning and cunning, and he's good at figuring out the holy will..."
For example, giving up the agreement with Xuanqing Palace, changing from protecting the imperial concubine in everything before to standing by and doing nothing, even intentionally or unintentionally, adding insult to injury.
This move actually showed that the emperor did not like the concubine's involvement with important ministers in the previous dynasty.
Chunjia loved the imperial concubine and was reluctant to punish her.
At least not for now.
So if Ouyang Yanran continues to collude with Yun Fenghuang... Chunjia will most likely find an opportunity to promote Meng and Luo to replace him.
To be honest, Ouyang Yanran didn't know that what she did would offend the imperial concubine, and then bring trouble to Concubine Shu and her daughter in the palace. But after he weighed the pros and cons, although the imperial concubine was not easy to mess with, the imperial concubine's status and power came from the emperor, so of course he chose the emperor!
After all, if he abandons Chunjia, the revitalization of the entire Ouyang clan will be destroyed in an instant. From now on, the concubines in the palace will have no choice but to look up to the imperial concubine, and even the entire Ouyang clan will not be able to survive in the end. Forced to be tied to the concubine's wheel. In this way, Ouyang's Jijiyingying can at best be a hero of Conglong! And where is Ouyang now
Ouyang Yanran's resurrection and a series of things he did after his resurrection are in themselves Conglong meritorious officials, right
They provided great assistance during Chunjia's pro-government and even in his steps to seize power!
The most important thing is that Ouyang Yanran does not think that the imperial concubine will definitely succeed.
Because until now, Chunjia has been firm in establishing his legitimate son as his heir.
He really loved the imperial concubine, but he had no intention of abandoning the middle palace and his legitimate son and letting the imperial concubine take over the Qingci Palace in the future.
For this reason, Ouyang Yanran would rather sacrifice a granddaughter and a princess with the blood of the Ouyang family to separate from the imperial concubine, which is a matter of course.
After all, Yun Fenghuang couldn't give him enough benefits at the moment.
The imperial concubine knew this very well, which was why she had to make trouble now to increase her deterrence. How could she possibly beat Chunjia when it came to giving benefits? If she wanted to go against Chunjia's wishes, she could only take advantage of the fact that he was still tolerant of her and intimidate her inside and out.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang did not think that Ouyang would support Concubine Shu in causing trouble in the harem. In other words, Ouyang Yanran had already made a choice: to withdraw from the harem dispute and concentrate on the front court!
Concubine Shu may or may not already know, but in short, she and the fourth princess are actually abandoned sons of the Ouyang family.
As for Concubine Shu herself, Yun Fenghuang didn't think she could handle such a battle.
"... It shouldn't be Ouyang's." The imperial concubine thought about it and repeated this opinion, but then she laughed, "However, it could also be done by Concubine Shu."
Chen Jing and the Qing people looked at each other and understood, but they both hesitated: "But His Majesty is in Yanfu Palace now..."
"What does that have to do with it?" Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "Isn't it embarrassing enough for the queen? The three legitimate sons, the King of Chu are stupid, the twelfth prince drowned, and now the tenth prince also fell into the well... What's funny is that the King of Chu is The cold caught the wind under the eyes of the queen; the tenth prince simply fell into the well in Chongchang Palace! I simply don’t know what the queen and the people she sent to serve the two princes were doing? At the moment, the Sixth Palace, no, Even the previous dynasty knows that the Queen is incompetent and a waste. The Emperor and the Queen will not be able to take care of the tenth prince for a while. Do they have the spare time to find out the truth? Now I send them the truth. Is it possible for them to return the favor? Are you going to make irresponsible remarks?"
Chen Jing hesitated and said: "The Empress must not dare. After all, without your kindness, the Empress would have been discussed even more unfavorably... that is... His Majesty... the tenth prince is the legitimate prince after all!"
Plus, it happened in the harem again.
Chen Jing thought that Chunjia should still want to find out the truth rather than being vague about the past.
"Of course His Majesty will personally intervene in this matter, but on the surface, don't we need to explain this matter?" Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes at him, "Just go to Yanfu Palace to report it, and only talk about Concubine Shu's suspicion, and nothing else. Don’t even mention it. Your Majesty knows better than you what to do!”
Not to mention the death of a legitimate prince, but also the death of Gu Shao's master and servant. Do you really think Chunjia has completely forgotten about it
Even if the emperor can't remember it for the time being, why can't he help and think about it
But so far there is no certainty. It is estimated that either it has not been found at all, or it is difficult to say whether it has been found.
In short, the apparent truth behind this matter is that Gu Shao's subordinates went crazy and joined forces to murder their master... Let's not say whether this conclusion is absurd or not. Anyway, there is an explanation deep in the palace, and that is the truth.
"My Lady, please tell me, who did this?" After Chen Jing took the order and left, the Qing people brought Yun Fenghuang a bird's nest with rock sugar and sighed, "My maid is feeling a little scared. There have been too many things going on in Yanfu Palace in the past six months. Gu Cairen is the master and servant, and he is also the tenth prince's... Do you think that place is really unclean? In fact, it is unfair to say that the twelve princes What does a biological mother count? The former queen..."
She was about to speak but stopped talking because she remembered that the relationship between Yun Fenghuang and the former queen was not necessarily good.
Although Ji Lingzi's death was inevitable at the beginning, Yun Fenghuang had also contributed to the suppression of the Empress Yuan.
But of course Yun Fenghuang didn't mind that the attendant felt sorry for Ji Lingzi at this moment. After all, they were gone, so she wouldn't be so stingy.
"Do you suspect that the former empress was haunted by an evil spirit and refused to spare the person who occupied her former palace?" Yun Fenghuang took a bite of the bird's nest and said with a half-smile, "Where can such a thing exist? If so, how could Yanfu Palace be so peaceful? There have been many queens who have lived there, and many of them died unjustly. The former queen was not found in Shanyuan Temple, and other queens died tragically directly in Yanfu Palace... "
For example, the last queen of King Sejong of the imperial dynasty was a little younger than Shenzong, but because of her young age, she gave birth to a legitimate son. Although she made numerous plans at every step, in the end she missed a move and was forced by Shenzong to die. He said that his legitimate son would not end well either.
There are only a few words recorded in the history books. Because this dynasty needed to be taboo for Shenzong, it only recorded the apparent suicide.
In fact, according to palace rumors, the queen died extremely tragically.
This is because Shenzong resented her very much and deliberately prevented her from leaving happily.
As for the successor, it was the Empress Dowager, Empress Shenzong, who moved into Yanfu Palace, then the Empress Dowager's niece, Xiaozong's Empress Ji Sheng, and then the Empress Dowager Chunjia, the heir of Xiaozong. Later Ji Lingzi... if that successor really turned into a fierce ghost, how could he possibly let go of the third-generation Phoenix Master of the Ji family? !
I haven't heard of anything dirty in Yanfu Palace when they were in charge of the Sixth Palace.
Yun Fenghuang also said: "If there is really something causing trouble, wouldn't the Zheng family and others come to me early in the morning?"
She spoke calmly and calmly, but Qing Ren was a little frightened. He forced a smile and changed the subject: "My servant is overthinking... I just don't know what the Queen did wrong to provoke people to target her like this."
"Actually, when it comes to suspicion, there is already one in the palace." Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "Dead people may not be able to cause trouble. It is understandable that the living people are not popular... The Empress Dowager is still there. Yanfu Palace was once hosted by her niece and nephew, but now it has fallen into the hands of Gu Zhen. Gu Zhen, the queen, has done a very bad job... If I were the Empress Dowager, I would feel that Gu Zhen was a waste. Back position."
"However, the Empress Dowager is already at her age. With the Ji family gone, even if there are a few remnants of evil that are far away, there is nothing she can do. No matter how hard she struggles now, she can't make any waves... But why bother? These hearts?”
"In the previous dynasty, because many people complained against the Ji family, there were gradually calls for the Ji family to be deprived of their honor and honor. This shows that our majesty is not the kind of master who can rub dirt in his eyes."
"Even if the Empress Dowager puts life and death aside at her age, she still has to think about her posthumous affairs, right?"
Not to mention anything else, if Chunjia just found an excuse to not let her be buried with Shenzong, it would be enough to disgust her.
There are no such examples from the previous dynasty.
Seeing the Qingren stunned, Yun Fenghuang thrust the bowl into her hand and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, it's all the queen who is being targeted now, and His Majesty is already worried about this matter, so why should we think so much about it first? It is serious to deal with Concubine Shu and shock the Sixth Palace!"
He counted the days again, "Is my confinement coming soon?"
"Yes, your Majesty." Qing Ren said quickly, "The maids are already making preparations, just like the original ones of His Royal Highness King Qin and His Highness Princess Zhaoqing..."
"It doesn't have to be so grand, and don't look at the atmosphere in the palace now?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Prince Qin and Zhao Qing are His Majesty's eldest sons and daughters. Even if they are concubines, it is natural for them to be more grand. Fifteen years ago How many brothers and sisters are there? What's the benefit of being so aggressive at such a young age and paying more attention to the three legitimate sons? We want to fight, but how old is fifteen now? It's not the time to show off. Wait a minute."
The Qing people felt regretful, because according to what she and Chen Jing and other attendants thought, compared with Qin Wang Zhaoqing's standards, it would be an injustice to the fifteenth prince, not to mention that now it is even reduced
But Yun Fenghuang was resolute, and she didn't dare to object, so she could only nod in agreement.
Just as he was about to go out to deliver the message, Yun Fenghuang remembered something again: "What are the children doing now? Are they going to visit the tenth prince?"
