Chunjia frowned slightly when she first heard that the Wen clan had teamed up to assassinate Concubine An, and immediately ordered the Taiyuan Hospital to go all out to rescue Concubine An, and deal with the elder Wen clan and the younger Wen clan severely... As for Wen Mingcui, he insisted that it was because of the Queen's calculations and instructions. At one o'clock, the emperor's face was gloomy for a while, and Fang slowly said: "It's something wrong with Yanfu Palace again! Isn't Gu Zhen a loser? He has been in charge of the palace for these years, why do he still teach his subordinates to trick him again and again without feeling guilty? Know?!"
If Yun Fenghuang wants to be a good person now, of course he cannot tell the queen exactly what the emperor said, so he can only do it tactfully.
Even so, Gu Zhen couldn't tell that the emperor had a problem with her
Although this is not the first time that the emperor has rejected him for not being smart enough, how can such a situation not be uncomfortable
She didn't speak for a while.
"Your Majesty, this is such a serious matter, it's no wonder that Your Majesty is a little impatient." Yun Fenghuang advised softly, "But I have no doubts about Your Majesty's intention."
Gu Zhen smiled bitterly, thinking that she could only comfort herself in this way. Although the emperor thought she was useless, he would not doubt her ability to scheme against Concubine An and take revenge on her loving mother, the Empress Dowager!
She calmed down for a moment and said slowly: "This matter really has nothing to do with this palace... Concubine An, as you know, the noble concubine, we have nothing to do with it. As long as she doesn't come out to cause trouble, what happens in Huzhu Palace will be of no concern to everyone. For the sake of His Majesty and his loving mother, the Empress Dowager, Jilai turned a blind eye. Now that things are going on like this, and they are all blamed on me, it is really... "
"Of course I believe in you," Yun Fenghuang said. "From what I can tell, it's probably Wen Mingcui and Wen Shijiang who are responsible for the trouble! If you think these two newcomers just entered the palace, they would pretend to be at odds with each other to confuse their companions. Who knows? What was their plan? I thought that they must have some big plans, but they were just unlucky and fell into Concubine An's hands! Now that they are about to die, they drag people into the water randomly!"
Gu Zhen pursed her lips. Her family knew about her family affairs, and the feud between Concubine An and Wen Mingcui and Wen Shijiang had nothing to do with the middle palace.
But she didn't believe that these two newcomers who had just entered the palace had the ability and ability. Besides assassinating Concubine An, they also framed the middle palace... Speaking of which, what grudges does she, the middle palace, have with the newcomers? At most, they don’t pay attention to them!
In such a big palace, if Wen Mingcui and Wen Shijiang were just looking for someone to back them up, who would it be better to look for than her
If it was for the sake of jealousy, shouldn't we frame the imperial concubine, our current favorite concubine
So Gu Zhen actually doubted that the imperial concubine was the main messenger.
However, the imperial concubine has been very close to the palace these days, and now that she is being comforted again and again, Gu Zhen really can't do anything to change her face and question her on the spot.
After thinking about it, she ran out of excuses and asked Yun Fenghuang to step aside first, and decided to analyze it carefully with her left and right.
Yun Fenghuang saw the queen's thoughts and left without saying a word.
After leaving Yanfu Palace, the people of the Qing Dynasty were displeased: "The empress kindly came to report the news, but the empress did not seem to trust her. It is true that her kindness was not rewarded!"
"It's not like she just became a queen. She has been in the palace for all these years. If someone treated her better, she would have no doubts. Even with His Majesty's protection, how could she survive today?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Besides. , If I don’t tell you about such a big matter, the queen will definitely receive the news today. In the final analysis, I am just doing it for Your Majesty. "
After all, how can she win people's trust if she doesn't take actual actions, especially for a master with a great record like her
Especially Chunjia, who has a suspicious nature and has always kept a low profile.
"My Majesty, do you think the Queen's Majesty was behind this matter?" The Qing man pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice, "My maid, it seems that the Queen's Majesty really doesn't seem to know about it. She has been focusing on this for many years. She was concerned about the safety of the prince and the affairs of the former Emperor Zhaowu. She must have neglected her loving mother, the Queen Mother, who had gone to Fuyang County. But the rest of the Gu family was not necessarily so. After all, His Majesty said the same thing. The people in the middle palace are getting into trouble again and again. Is it really true that the Queen has no way to control her? The Queen is also from a wealthy family."
A child of a wealthy family, he is always bossing around Xiao Yi, and his subordinates have been taught by words and deeds of their elders since they were governors.
If she were a daughter of a concubine, she might have been raised with a submissive nature due to the pressure from her aunt, and could not control the situation.
A daughter like Gu Zhen, the legitimate daughter of her first wife, has been pampered since she was a child and is basically unlikely to be able to suppress her subordinates.
The last time the deputy general manager of Chongchang Palace rebelled, it could be said to be accidental.
But this time it was a manager who caused trouble for his subordinates, which is very intriguing.
Yun Fenghuang muttered: "It's hard to say... I have never met the other members of the Gu family, and I don't know much about their temperament. However, Wen Mingcui's suspicion is also justified. Previously, I only said that the empress dowager, the loving mother, is still alive. It’s not surprising that some news from the imperial court reached Concubine An’s ears. After all, there are still some people in front of your majesty who were brought here from Fuyang County. Those are the people who watched your majesty come with Concubine An. Even if Concubine An loses power, There is no guarantee that someone might feel pity for her and be willing to pass on a message to her. But if you think about it carefully, if you still miss An Fei from the past, will you not know her nature? "
"If she is still favored, she can take care of some new people, and His Majesty will just say a few words and it will be over."
"She has fallen out of favor all these years. Even if His Majesty doesn't pursue her for the sake of his loving mother, the Queen Mother, wouldn't he feel more and more fed up with her?"
"If I were such an old person, I wouldn't reveal a word to Concubine An, but I would tell Xuanqing Palace what the newlyweds should not say!"
Instigating the imperial concubine to target the newcomers in this way, killing people with a borrowed knife, would prevent Concubine An's temper from causing any further trouble, and she would drift further and further away from Chunjia... This was a kind approach towards Concubine An.
"But Concubine An's temperament is not bad after she fell out of favor. She was not a lovable person in the early days." The Qing people objected, "If this is the case, my servant feels that the old man your Majesty brought from Fuyang County , even if you see His Majesty and Concubine An coming all the way, you still don’t know whether you have goodwill towards Concubine An in your heart?”
Not all old servants miss their old friendship, and Concubine An doesn't look like she can win people's hearts.
Maybe the old man brought from Fuyang County still has a grudge against her and knows her temperament, so he sent a message to her specifically to let her destroy herself
Yun Fenghuang said: "That's right. When it comes to the location of the emperor's bedroom, Chen Jing can only make insinuations. We don't know much, so we may not be able to guess the truth... Let's see how His Majesty handles it."
She was not in a very good mood, because it seemed that this matter was not aimed at Xuanqing Palace, but towards the Queen, but the Queen's collapse now was really not a good thing for her.
Especially after returning to Huanhua Hall, Chen Jing came up to report: "Two days ago, the Taichu Palace side hall was already packing the Twelve Prince's things, but now they have put them back."
"Can you not put them back?" Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart and said lightly, "When Your Majesty left the twelfth prince to be raised in the side hall, he was just worried about the peace in Yanfu Palace. As expected, smallpox broke out not long after. The third prince, King Chu, and the tenth prince finally managed to save their lives. How many days have they been stable? A steward used the queen’s name to conspire to murder the palace concubine, but the queen was still ignorant. Ignorance... How can Your Majesty safely allow the Twelve Princes to return to Chongchang Palace?"
Chen Jing frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, if this continues, it won't be a problem. Originally, the twelfth prince had the title of legitimate son, but now he is still young. If he continues to live like this, how can he not live outside like this? Are you speculating?"
The former harem now knew in their hearts that the reason why Chunjia personally raised the child in her own residence was simply because she did not trust the queen's ability.
I'm afraid that the queen won't grow up if he goes back.
It doesn't mean that the twelfth prince must be appointed as the crown prince in the future.
It can be counted that the Twelve Princes have been living in the side hall of Taichu Palace for a full year!
If this continues, if we discuss the establishment of a prince in the future, you can imagine his advantages!
Not only was he the legitimate son, but he also had the blood of the Gu family, and the emperor always kept him with him... How could the courtiers not wonder whether the emperor also liked this prince the most in his heart
"So I have some doubts about the Gu family..." Yun Fenghuang said thoughtfully, "However, there is no evidence and it is difficult to deal with... Originally, the biological mother of the tenth prince should be the most concerned about this matter, but the Ping family was born in a poor family, let alone not having that Thoughts, even if she has those thoughts, if she is smart, she would not dare to show them."
No matter how you look at it, the twelfth prince is the beneficiary of the queen's incompetence...
So the truth of this matter, whether Gu's family is up to something or not, actually doesn't matter anymore.
The key is that the twelfth prince cannot be allowed to continue to be taken care of by Chunjia himself.
Even though Yun Fenghuang knew in his heart that Chunjia was really busy. He had rarely visited the harem in recent years. In the previous dynasty, he did not visit the Twelve Princes every three days. However, as a prince, he always lived in the emperor's bedchamber, with The treatment of other imperial heirs is very different, and from the outside world, it will be interpreted as some kind of special signal.
"The reason why the twelve princes stayed at the emperor's residence was because the boat capsized the day after the palace incident." Chen Jing thought for a moment and whispered, "If the Gu family had planned this from then on, then... those who fell into the water together at that time , as well as the Mother Queen Mother and the Holy Mother Queen Mother!”
Seeing Yun Fenghuang raise his eyebrows, he kept up his efforts and continued, "This time Wen Mingcui insisted that the Queen wanted to use Concubine An to irritate the Empress Dowager, and she had the intention of killing the Empress Dowager. Do you think it is possible? The Empress Dowager, the loving mother, recalled the details of that day. What did she discover that made her suspicious of the Queen and the Gu family? Why did the Empress and the Gu family do this in order to kill them all? Or maybe the Empress Dowager did not discover anything, but the Queen and the Gu family Mr. Gu, you are guilty of being a thief and you plan to kill people and silence them?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang was thinking rapidly, her expression changing. After a moment, she slowly said, "What you said makes sense, but let's do nothing now!"
Seeing Chen Jing's astonishment, she explained in a low voice, "Whether Concubine An's master or servant is really doubting the Queen or pretending to be suspicious of the Queen, Concubine An has suffered such a big loss this time. She must report it to her loving mother, the Queen Mother, and fight for them." It's good! Based on my understanding of the Empress Dowager, regardless of whether she will return to the palace this time, she will not let the Queen and Gu go easily! In this case, do you think the Empress Dowager will ignore the Twelve Princes? ? I have just stated to Your Majesty and the Queen that they will live a good life from now on, without interfering or stirring up trouble between those who have something and those who do not. If it is discovered that someone is adding fuel to the conflict, what do you think Your Majesty will think?"
When Chunjia found out about this before, she just called the queen a waste, but gave no specific instructions.
Yun Fenghuang immediately suspected that the emperor did this on purpose, or just wanted to stand still and secretly observe whether his temperament had really changed, or was he just talking about it
Of course, it could also be that Chunjia felt that the matter was difficult and couldn't make up her mind for a while.
But after thinking about it carefully, Yun Fenghuang still felt that it would be better to continue to act innocent... Mainly because the twelfth prince is now four years old, and there are still two years left before he enters school, so he still has some time to mediate.
There is no need to take risks in this situation.
