Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 89: The emperor governs personally

Views:

Yun Fenghuang was suspicious and was about to find an excuse to go away to find out what happened. At this time, a group of guards with bright armor came in front. Seeing the three of them, they all looked relieved. Then... "invite" Yun Fenghuang and Deng Chengzhai to the monastery not far from the foot of the pine ridge to talk.

"May I ask where did Yun Bin go after leaving the summer banquet today, who did she meet, and what did she do?" In a separate room in the monastery, two chamberlains and two older palace maids dressed in slightly gorgeous clothes were smiling brightly. The attitude was polite, but there was a hint that no refusal was allowed.

Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly and quickly glanced outside the door... The guards who "escorted" her just now were standing there motionless. They seemed to be on guard, but in fact the doors and windows were open. What was said inside I can hear everything clearly.

Rather than saying they are doing their jobs faithfully, why not say they are supervising

Could it be that his arrangement for Xile and Miaocai to go back to the harem to get medicine was exposed

Yun Fenghuang subconsciously thought so, but immediately rejected this guess.

Because neither she nor Miao Cai nor Yun Qingman were powerful enough to allow noble people like the Empress Dowager to waste such a large-scale feast like the Summer Banquet, and they didn't even have the patience to wait for the banquet to end before worrying about it.

That…

It shouldn’t have anything to do with you

Yun Fenghuang quickly calmed down and said calmly: "After the Empress Dowager and the three empress dowagers all left the table, I and Wei Jieyu wanted to talk to their respective families, so I wanted to talk to my cousin Yi Guo first. The prince made an appointment at the pavilion by the lake, and Wei Jieyu went to look for the Wei family. After talking to her cousin, I went back to the banquet and chatted with Yun Ronghua and the prince's wife of Yiguo. , followed by looking for Wei Jieyu everywhere, and finally, through the guidance of a young father-in-law, we found Wei Jieyu on the observation deck on Pine Ridge... I and Wei Jieyu admired the Taiye Pool on the observation deck for a while. Scenery, Wei Jieyu remembered that she wanted to ask her family to explain something, so she went down first, and I wandered alone on the pine ridge. "

"Unexpectedly, I met His Majesty and His Majesty's companion, Mr. Deng, within a short stroll."

"After that, I accompanied your majesty on a tour of Pine Ridge. It wasn't until just now that your majesty said that it was almost time for Chen Guang to return the table, so he came down."

At this point, she asked, "I wonder who brought me here. Did something happen at the summer party?"

"The slaves are acting according to orders, please don't take offense to Concubine Yun." An older chamberlain said perfunctorily with a smile, making it clear that he didn't want to tell her.

"So Concubine Yun didn't do anything out of the ordinary." At this time, a palace maid in blue suddenly spoke, looking at Xile behind Yun Fenghuang suspiciously, "But what do you think, maidservant, that you, a palace maid, look so cute?" Are you nervous?"

Yun Fenghuang didn't even turn around and said, "What's so strange about this? I'm still confused right now."

The palace maid in blue frowned, but did not dwell on the question: "Concubine Yun, do you remember when you met your majesty?"

"Of course I don't remember." Yun Fenghuang changed his mind and asked tentatively, "Is this important? If so, I will think about it carefully."

"Of course it's important, otherwise I wouldn't have invited Yun Bin here." The chamberlain who spoke before said with a smile, "After all, there are no people on Pine Ridge today. Yun Bin said she was hanging out up there, but in fact, since Wei Jieyu left, The only one who can prove it is Yun Bin’s palace maid, the palace maid is Yun Bin’s, right?”

There was a hint of knocking in these words. Yun Fenghuang did not accept this trick and said: "I thought about it carefully and didn't remember it."

"..." The four palace servants saw that she did it on purpose, and they all frowned slightly.

The palace maid in blue said firmly: "Concubine Yun, you can think about it again. Can you really not remember it? The Empress Dowager is personally waiting for the result!"

The implication is that it doesn't matter if your backer is the Queen, we will have to reply to the Queen Mother later.

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that the Empress Dowager had been silent for a long time, and the few times she showed up, it was basically for the sake of the heir... Damn it, could it be that there was something wrong with Yuan Yuniang or even Concubine Zheng's pregnancy? !

Otherwise, even if there is an incident that requires the royal family to deal with it immediately regardless of the presence of many foreign ministers at the summer banquet, shouldn't the Queen Mother personally take charge of the overall situation

From a fair standpoint, we can speculate that for today's summer banquet, except for the two pregnant concubines, almost the entire harem came to Xiaoyingzhou.

At this time, something went wrong with the pregnancy of a concubine, and Yun Fenghuang, the concubine who had been having troubles since the first day she entered the palace, just sent her personal maid to accompany Miao Cai, the dowry maid of the Tongxia Palace Ronghua Yunshi, back harem…

The reason was quite good. Yun Ronghua was very seasick. Yun Fenghuang felt sorry for his sister and asked someone to get her medicine.

But who knows if it was a pretense, or if he did something else while taking the medicine

… Could it be that the mantis was chasing the cicada and the oriole was behind it, and he was bitten by the oriole

Yun Fenghuang was thinking in his mind, secretly calculating the time, and said: "I really can't remember the specific time. I just looked down at the Taiye Pond from the observation deck and saw the small boat carrying Xijing and Miaocai. , will arrive at the harem soon."

One of the four palace servants immediately stood up and went out to give some instructions, presumably to arrange for someone to check.

Next, they asked a lot of details, mainly focusing on Songling. They seemed to want to confirm whether Yun Fenghuang really visited Songling.

It's just that no matter what Yun Fenghuang said in his answer, these people remained tight-lipped and didn't mention what happened.

After a while, it seemed that it was already evening, and the interrogation came to an end. The four of them politely left with Yun Fenghuang. Yun Fenghuang stood up and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly he was stopped at the door. The guard said something very strange. He was polite, but his attitude was firm. Yun Fenghuang could not leave until he was notified.

"May I ask what mistake I made?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and asked, "Why can't I leave?"

The guard clasped his fists and lowered his head, avoiding looking directly at the concubine, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know, I would like to ask Concubine Yun not to embarrass me."

Yun Fenghuang lowered his head and thought for a while without saying anything, then went back to sit in the room. Seeing this, Xile wanted to speak, but was stopped by her rolling her eyes.

The master and the servant just waited in silence. Soon someone came to deliver the meal. The standard of the meal was still that of a concubine, and it was even more sumptuous.

It's just that the person delivering the food was the same as before, respectful and silent.

After dinner, an elderly chamberlain came over and led them to a small courtyard nearby. He said that they would stay here for the next two days and that they could tell him if they had anything to say.

This chamberlain seemed to have a higher status. Yun Fenghuang tried to find out the information. He finally did not refuse and just said lightly: "I feel wronged that Yun Bin is temporarily staying here... This is also for Yun Bin's good."

Then Yun Fenghuang asked again, and he fell silent.

Yun Fenghuang frowned and went to wash up. After returning to the inner room, Xile came up to help her make the bed as usual. He also wanted to help her undress and take off her belt, but she was refused and just slept with her clothes on.

Xile saw it and asked quietly: "Master, will something happen tonight?"

"Of course there will be." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "You should go to bed first, it will be late at night."

In the second half of the night, Yun Fenghuang had a full sleep. When he got up, he complained that his stomach hurt and he felt uncomfortable, and asked him to call an imperial doctor. Failure to ask an imperial doctor would be a deliberate attempt to murder the concubine!

She originally used this method to test because she was not sure what was going on. As a result, the people around her reacted quickly, and not long after, three imperial doctors were invited to the scene!

... In this situation, if Yun Fenghuang didn't know that he was pretending to be sick, he would have thought that he was not going to die soon.

Oh wait, with her current status in the palace, even if she is really not going to die soon, she should not be qualified to call so many imperial doctors to come for consultation at the same time.

Across the curtain, Yun Fenghuang tried his best to look like he was dying. He watched the three doctors taking turns coming up to check his pulse, and he became more and more puzzled.

The treatment of being interrogated first and then placed under house arrest was obviously a bit unkind, but the line of medical doctors who had not treated her badly in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation seemed to be very important to her...

What's happening here

Thinking that Deng Chengzhai was taken away by the guards before, and that the palace maid in blue confirmed the time again and again, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but have an idea: Could it be that Emperor Chunjia was the one who caused trouble at the summer banquet

And he did it himself

But what did the emperor do to cause such a commotion

Yun Fenghuang was in a mess. She didn't even know when the imperial doctors left. It was when Xile came closer and put the tent into the golden hook that she subconsciously turned over and sat up. While adjusting her clothes, she asked, "What did the imperial doctors say?" of?"

"They only spoke a few words to the father-in-law who came with them. The maidservant didn't look too good." , "Master, does your stomach still hurt now?"

Yun Fenghuang was pretending to have a so-called stomachache, but of course it doesn't hurt now.

She was about to answer when she suddenly remembered something, and she somewhat understood why the imperial doctors looked so unhappy and left without explaining anything. Her eyes flashed and she said, "It's much better now. Maybe the imperial doctors didn't say anything because it's because It’s nothing serious.”

Xile wanted to ask again, but Yun Fenghuang had already shaken the quilt and said he wanted to sleep.

She lay down but she didn't feel much sleep. She was just thinking that since this matter was exposed in advance, then... given the current situation, what should be the next step

Or should we just wait and see what happens

In the end, Yun Fenghuang chose the latter. There was no other way. She was not let out at all the next day. Not only the next day, but also the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day... Later, Yun Fenghuang almost wondered if he had been relegated to the cold palace and had everyone forget about him!

Finally, it was officially summer, and a servant came to the small courtyard with a decree for her to return to the harem.

At the same time, there are two explosive news: First, Emperor Chunjia went to court to take charge of the government! ! !

Second... Are you kidding? After hearing the first news, how could Yun Fenghuang still have the energy to care about the second one! ! !
