Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 872: Filial piety?

Views:

There is no doubt that Chunjia is unwilling to believe this result.

Because even if we don’t mention the bond between mother and son who have been dependent on each other for decades, let’s talk about interests. He is the protection of the imperial concubine. How can he not be the protection of Empress Dowager Yuan

Even if Empress Dowager Yuan is now far away in Fuyang County, who would dare to treat Chunjia as an ordinary clan elder when she is here

Even the current King Fuyang, who had never been raised and cared for by Empress Dowager Yuan, must treat her with great respect and serve her more attentively than his own mother.

After all, Gong Xiang Ruocheng's mother may not complain about her son's neglect, but Empress Dowager Yuan may not be willing to tolerate Gong Xiang Ruocheng.

But while Chunjia couldn't believe it, she vaguely understood in her heart that unlike the noble concubine, Queen Mother Yuan did have a reason to destroy his...

Empress Dowager Yuan is different from the imperial concubine. She is Chunjia's former aunt and adoptive mother. Because she had nothing to do, she had to adopt the bastard son of her concubine. She worked hard and tried her best to raise Chunjia to this day. What is the purpose? Since it is about family happiness, why not be rewarded for your efforts

But what about now

The Queen Mother herself, no matter how high-sounding the reasons were, could not hide the fact that she returned to her hometown sadly after living in the Imperial Palace for more than ten years.

As for her mother's family, let alone that.

Three nieces were carefully selected to serve Chunjia. Two died young and one fell out of favor for many years. They just lived in the palace day by day and could not even raise an heir...

If Empress Dowager Yuan had a choice, would she still support Chunjia as emperor

After all, if Chunjia did not become the emperor but was just the King of Fuyang, Chunjia dared not listen to her. As soon as she complained to the court, someone would naturally deal with the unfilial king.

But now Chunjia is the emperor and the supreme emperor of the Nine Five Years.

Who can do anything to him

He talks about being filial, but in private he makes the Queen Mother feel like he's having trouble... What can the Queen Mother do? Not only was she helpless, she couldn't even lose her temper!

Because there is also a sensitive concubine in the harem, who takes advantage of every opportunity to sow discord between mother and son.

If she is willful and willful, she will give Yun Fenghuang a chance.

Is this kind of life good, even with the title of Empress Dowager

Chunjia judged from a fair standpoint and had to admit that it should not be counted.

Empress Dowager Yuan herself was born into the Yuan family, a famous family in Fuyang County. Although the Yuan family was only a prominent family in the county and was far different from the Yin family and the Meng family, which were famous throughout the country, she was also born with rich clothes, fine food, and a long life surrounded by pearls and greenery. big.

After that, she entered the Fuyang Palace and became the princess. Even if she was not liked by the concubine, she was still the mistress of the palace. After the concubine left, she had the final say on the entire Fuyang Prince lineage...

This Queen Mother, before she became the Queen Mother, actually lacked nothing... In contrast, now that she has the status of Queen Mother, she has lost even more...

Being frustrated, it was not unreasonable to simply ignore Chunjia's revenge.

After all, she has returned to Fuyang County. At this age, she has no biological flesh and blood, and even her natal family is gone. Even if something happens to Chunjia, at most she will be deprived of her title of Queen Mother, and there is no way she will pursue her back to Fuyang County. What to do with her

Even if someone really goes to this level of liquidation, Queen Mother Yuan is already this age, does she still need to care

"Mother..." The emperor suddenly burst into tears. Regardless of the fact that there were still waiters waiting in the palace, he put his hand on his forehead, tears streaming down his face, and murmured in a low voice, "Really... really... is it you?"

He still didn't want to believe it.

Even looking back on the past twenty years, we can see that there are actually many bad feelings between mother and son that they are unable or unwilling to express openly.

For example, Queen Mother Yuan's protection and love for Yuan Niang, for example, Queen Mother always thinks about her mother's family immediately when his situation improves slightly, and for example... But no matter what, Chunjia really sees Queen Mother Yuan as being closer to Queen Mother Qu.

As soon as he landed, he was carried to Queen Mother Yuan. Even if Queen Mother Yuan was good to him because she had no children, she had truly been his mother for these years.

In Chunjia's heart, if there is anyone in the world who is determined not to harm him... it must be Queen Mother Yuan.

Even the imperial concubine Yun Fenghuang, when the emperor was calm, felt that the imperial concubine would not betray him easily, but if it was for the sake of King Jin, that was really not necessarily the case.

But also because Yun Fenghuang attached great importance to the King of Jin, he felt that the Empress Dowager Yuan, who was more of a mother than a biological mother, would not harm him.

Yes, even the former harem had doubts about the Eighth Prince's life experience. Chunjia also felt that the Queen Mother might confuse the bloodline, intervene in the dispute for the crown prince, and target the concubines for the sake of the Yuan family... However, it would never be detrimental to him.

This would do the Queen Mother no good.

Besides, how could Queen Mother Yuan give up

but now…

Chunjia was a little confused.

He even wanted to send someone to find the deputy who had just been sent away, so that the Imperial City Division would stop investigating.

Sun Yu couldn't bear this result, and he... he couldn't accept it either.

Don't investigate. Without conclusive evidence, Chunjia could still deceive himself and think that maybe Sun Yu was wrong. Perhaps Sun Yu was murdered for other reasons. Maybe Sun Yu found out about other important things, but didn't have time to report them...

He can still deny things that haven't been implemented anyway.

Queen Mother Yuan never harmed him.

He is her only child!

Even if he is not his biological child, the Queen Mother has nothing to do and has raised him for so many years. How can she bear it? ?

After Chunjia roared in her heart, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Can you bear it...

What about him? Didn't he only regard Empress Dowager Yuan as his own mother, but he also sat back and watched the concubine, the queen, and other concubines, step by step, bit by bit, one by one, forcing the empress dowager to trek thousands of miles back regardless of her advanced age. Fuyang County

Knowing that the Queen Mother was old, this trip was a long way. Not only was the journey difficult, but the most important thing was that when they left Fuyang County, they were full of hesitation, but at least the scene was glorious.

Because she came to the Imperial Capital to be the emperor and queen mother.

Who wouldn't envy it

Now the two empress dowagers are riding back in a phoenix chariot. No matter how big the battle is and no matter how good their behavior is, they will inevitably attract people's attention.

He knew all this, but he still didn't really try his best to retain Empress Dowager Yuan. Maybe the empress mother's heart became colder and hardened little by little in the eyes of all kinds of people on the way back

Chunjia held her forehead and sobbed for a long time in the dead silence where the waiters were so frightened that they held their breath and stared at their noses, noses and hearts. Finally, in a hoarse voice, he ordered: "Go to the Imperial City Division and urge them to do things as soon as possible!"

Although very reluctant.

but…

Chunjia still felt that the truth would come to light after investigation.

If it was found out that she was not Queen Mother Yuan, that would be the best; if she was, he had no intention of doing anything to Queen Mother Yuan and would just pretend that nothing had happened. But in the future, he had to be careful... After all, he couldn't die.

This is not only for the sake of Empress Dowager Yuan and the noble concubine, but also for the Gongxiang family and the world.

The eldest son of the emperor, King Qin, was only six years old, and the two legitimate sons were even younger, especially the tenth prince who was still fighting for his life from smallpox.

In this case, if the emperor makes a mistake, the country will be in turmoil instantly.

Wei He's uncle and nephew, who are still divided at present, are afraid that they will not be able to join forces immediately, join forces and march south to conquer the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains...

Therefore, even for the sake of the overall situation, nothing can happen to Chunjia now.

The servants agreed to go down and deliver the order, but the emperor stopped one of them and asked: "Am I... filial?"

"... Your Majesty is of course..." The chamberlain was startled, and subconsciously bowed to answer. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Chun Jia waved his hand and dismissed him with a wry smile.

Yes, this is a close servant, how can you say he is unfilial

Not to mention that he has always done well on the scene, even if he is not, through the ages, how many people have dared to say something wrong about the emperor in front of the emperor

… Yun Fenghuang from the harem didn’t know what Chunjia was feeling now. She was very surprised when she heard the news of Sun Yu’s sudden death: “Is the Imperial City Secretary so incompetent now? Even the Secretary died in his own house. Don’t you understand?!”

Chen Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't that true? And you don't know, Madam, that it's really hard to talk about this now, because people in Master Sun's house said that the visiting guests looked like they were from... from the north. Come! What do you mean by this? Just now, Uncle Zhaowu, who just came back, is said to have rushed to the palace gate to complain before he had even washed himself!"

Yun Fenghuang frowned: "He is very nimble, but this may not be his fault. After all, Sun Yu can be the envoy of the imperial city, how can he not have two brushes? Since he has been very nervous these past two days, he originally I won’t meet strangers casually. Let alone being poisoned by strangers unexpectedly!”

"That's what the empress said." Chen Jing said, "Everything is said outside now, it's a complete mess. They are all waiting for His Majesty's judgment... Over at Yanfu Palace, it is said that the Queen vomited blood."

He lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, do we need to add fuel to the fire to the palace?"

"When it's such a mess, forget it." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "The Central Palace has been getting worse and worse these days. I think that even if the third and tenth princes are fine in the future, the queen will probably become seriously ill. At this time, you are adding fuel and jealousy to her. , other times people can't recover, but this eye is set on the bone, isn't it a great help to the Gu family?"

No matter how unfavored the queen of the main palace is, she is still recognized as the mother of the world.

If he died because of overwork from taking care of the sick prince, then everyone in the government and the public would be very sympathetic.

When the time comes, he will be able to comfort Mr. Gu.

In Yun Fenghuang's view, if the Gu family does not collapse, killing Gu Zhen will not mean much.

Because Mrs. Gu can send another daughter in to sit on the phoenix seat anytime and anywhere.

In the beginning, Chunjia had a crush on the Gu family, and that was why she had Queen Gu, but it was not because of the Queen Gu that she had the descendants of the Gu family.

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine felt very angry.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it, and it was useless to care about it. After calming down for a while, Yun Fenghuang asked about King Jin's situation: "How is my son doing now?"

"... Please don't worry, Your Highness, His Highness is having sex now, everything is fine." Chen Jing paused before saying, "Because His Highness is young and delicate, the Qing people found that His Highness tried to struggle and were able to hold him down easily, so His Highness After it heals, there should be no scars.”

Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief.
