Chunjia was obviously startled, then sighed and said: "Ahuang, I'm not speaking for Uncle Zhaowu, but... why did Gu Fangshu do this? I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry. No matter whether Xie Jian is alive or dead, What does it matter about a family like Gu's? Why does he need to offend you? Besides, if he really wanted to put Xie Jian to death, why would he agree to Wei He's request and negotiate? At that time, Dingbei Army Everyone is excited, and the Xie family is almost wiped out... Even if he refuses directly, in fact, it is not easy to blame him because of his righteousness."
This is the truth. As a hostage, Xie Jian's parents, brothers and nephews all died in the hands of Wei He, at least on the surface.
He couldn't speak at that time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say anything to beg for mercy.
Otherwise, if the news spreads, it will mean that you have surrendered to the murderer of the entire clan for the sake of your own life, and will be disgraced in the future, and even affect the remaining Xie bloodline such as the imperial concubine.
"Because I have changed a lot over the years, even His Majesty is quite suspicious, let alone Mrs. Gu?" Yun Fenghuang's tears were not dry, his eyes were bright, and he stared at Chunjia with a keen eye, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Gu is looking for If I can't find my fault, then I can only force me to make mistakes! I wonder what else can be more chaotic than the revenge of killing my father, so that I can fight them to the death regardless of it? !”
"..." Chunjia was shocked, and her expression changed drastically.
He really didn't expect this!
This is not because he is not as sophisticated as Yun Fenghuang, but as the emperor, he has too many things to consider. Even if he pays as much attention and care to Yun Fenghuang, it is impossible to put himself in Yun Fenghuang's shoes all the time.
Moreover, in Chunjia's mind, when Gu Zhen enters the Qingci Palace, his greatest protection lies in himself, not in sweeping the Sixth Palace and killing his beloved concubine!
If he didn't agree, even if Gu Zhen and the Gu family killed all the other concubines and princes, he would still give Gu Zhen a glass of poisonous wine after he became the crown prince, and give the Gu family an accident like Ji's.
Therefore, everyone in the Gu family, including the Queen, wants to have a worry-free future, and their thoughts should be spent on pleasing him, understanding him, and complying with him, rather than targeting the likes of noble concubines.
The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Ahuang, I think this is impossible. You also know the Queen's temperament. She is not very smart. Even if she thinks of such a vicious plan, she does not have the ability to implement it. As for the Gu family, ... Mrs. Gu and Gu Fangshu, the current heads of the Gu family, are both sensible people. They know my intentions very well. I prefer my legitimate son to take over the East Palace. However, for you mother and son, I also sincerely hope that you will be rich and powerful in the future. Gu Father and son, there should be such a tacit understanding."
Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips tightly, feeling his heart suddenly sinking.
Falling into the ice cellar.
She regretted it.
She shouldn't be naive.
Yes, at this moment she didn't even care to complain about Chunjia not being on her side.
But she thought that since she said these words, the emperor would be careful about her in the future to prevent her from targeting the queen and taking revenge on the Gu family!
If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have said it!
You just pretended not to know about Xie Jianzhi's death, why can't you continue to pretend that you have no grudges against Gu? ?
If Chunjia wasn't still here, she really wanted to slap herself!
"...But your suspicion is not unreasonable." Chunjia paused and then said, "In this case, I will ask the Imperial City Secretary to pay attention to Uncle Zhaowu, if..."
He hesitated for a moment, his eyes turned cold, and he held Yun Fenghuang's hand instead, saying warmly, "If Uncle Zhaowu is really so cruel and ruthless, I will not be partial and will definitely give you an explanation, how about it?"
This is true.
When Chunjia betrayed his trust and appointed Gu Zhen as his queen, he not only thought that Gu Zhen was incompetent and weak, but also thought that Gu was sensible enough.
But if Mrs. Gu is really as Yun Fenghuang said, and she is obedient and obedient to him on the surface, but in private she makes small moves and even kills the concubine's biological father, Chunjia will not do it even if it is not for Yun Fenghuang. Let this kind of family become descendants!
Who in the former harem didn't know his love for Concubine Min
If they dare to kill Xie Jian now, will they dare to kill the new king directly after he lets go and returns? !
Ji is a negative example of a relative, but when Shenzong was in power, Ji was so well-behaved and docile, a true pillar of the country!
How could Chunjia tolerate such inconsistency among future descendants
However, Yun Fenghuang's hand held by him was as cold as her heart.
She laughed hysterically in her heart, thinking: Yes, you asked the Imperial City Secretary to pay attention to Uncle Zhaowu, so why haven't you decided the truth? If you say he is innocent, it must be because you have dealt with the aftermath. Considering the powerful position of this palace and the current decline of the Xie family, is it possible that we can still find evidence to overturn it? !
"...I feel that I am so useless." Yun Fenghuang lowered her eyelashes and whispered softly, "As a daughter, I cannot support my two elders in their old age; as a concubine, I did not take good care of Zhaoqing, and her legs... As an aunt , the three nieces have only found a home for Meng'er so far; as concubines, they have not served His Majesty well, but instead they have always burdened Your Majesty and come to worry about me!"
The emperor was taking pity on her, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "What did you say? What does the matter in Huizhou have to do with you? If you want to blame me, blame me for not being able to protect Li Shu! As for Xie Kuo and Xie Mei's marriage, the people around They are still young, and they will be picked slowly when they become filial piety. Are you afraid that the girls you raised personally will not have a good place to go? As for Zhaoqing, you are her mother and concubine, and I am her father. , when she becomes disabled, don’t I have no responsibility? Moreover, I have never been short of people to serve, so why do I need you to serve me personally? "
He softened his tone and said softly, "I am happy with you... You don't have to think about it. I only regret that I could not protect you and Mr. Xie properly."
"..." Yun Fenghuang didn't believe a word she said, but her face was filled with tenderness. The tears she had been holding back for a long time fell silently. She raised her head slightly, nodded, looked at the emperor with emotion, and said every word, "How lucky am I to meet you in this life?" His Majesty!!!"
If I had known today, even if I had slashed my face with scissors, jumped off the embroidery building, and seduced Yun Qike into a house fight at Duke Yi's Mansion, I would never have entered your harem! ! !
She was filled with resentment and was really not in the mood to deal with Chunjia. She was worried about being exposed, so she looked tired.
Seeing this, Chunjia persuaded her to settle down, made the bed and quilt herself, took care of her to lie down, and stayed by the couch for a while, watching her breathing gradually become evener, before leaving quietly.
He didn't know Yun Fenghuang's thoughts. He kept thinking about it on the way to the front, but finally couldn't bear it. He sat down behind the imperial case and ordered Yan Yin: "I told Xie Kuo and Xie Mei earlier about finding two ordinary husbands. Let's put it down and pick out those with good backgrounds and good temperaments, who are easy to get along with."
Yan Yin was shocked. It would be fine if the other concubines were just helping their niece find a handsome husband.
But the imperial concubine…
He knew, however, that the reason why Chunjia personally inquired about Xie Kuo and Xie Mei's marriage was to prevent the power of the Xuanqing Palace from becoming too powerful, which would affect the establishment of the crown prince and even affect the stability of the Gongxiang clan.
Now the emperor changed his mind after the first trip, this...
"The imperial concubine is devastated, and my heart is also filled with grief." Chunjia sighed and said, "Especially, although Xie Jian is dead, Mrs. Jiang has not yet been found... When the imperial concubine was at home, she relied on her biological mother's teachings and her relationship with Mrs. Jiang. The relationship is probably deeper than the relationship with the biological father! If Mrs. Jiang can get her back, it will be fine. If she can't get her back, how do you think the imperial concubine can hold on? Prince Jin is still young, how can he be separated from his mother and concubine? Take care of the two girls on the left and right, no matter who you marry, I will find a good marriage with them. When the noble concubine knows about it, she will feel better."
He had a hidden worry in his heart. To be honest, he would rather Mrs. Jiang was shot before the battle than Xie Jian.
Because Xie Jian is a man after all, even if he is not caught up by Uncle Zhaowu and his men and is kidnapped by Wei He, it will be nothing if he is found back later.
The key point is that the Jiang family is a female family member. Even if Wei He thinks that Qi Huo Ke Ju will treat her with courtesy, there will not necessarily be less discussion among the public.
At that time, it will be another heartbreaking pain for Yun Fenghuang.
For this reason, Chunjia had to break the rules he had set before and leaned towards the imperial concubine.
He comforted himself that he was still young anyway, and the emperor's heirs were also young.
Even if this move will cause hidden dangers in the future... Let's talk about it in the future. The difficult situation when he ascended the throne at the beginning of the year has been overcome. There is no reason that now that he has the power, there will be any situation that he cannot handle in the future.
But if you don't comfort the imperial concubine now, what if the imperial concubine cannot hold on anymore
He always thought that he would go ahead of the imperial concubine, but he never thought that he would send Yun Fenghuang away at the right time.
"I am the emperor. When I am in the prime of my life, if I can't keep my favorite concubine, wouldn't it be that all the hard work I have endured for the emperor for more than ten years has been like a dog!?" Chunjia thought like this, and felt that it helped to facilitate the marriage of the three sisters Xie Meng. There is nothing more about high-ranking officials.
Yan Yin felt in his heart that the emperor was a little impulsive, and it was clear to onlookers that although he did not know that Yun Fenghuang had known about Xie Jian's death early in the morning, in view of some of Concubine Min's previous actions, he had some doubts that Concubine Min deliberately took the opportunity to invite favors and guided the emperor to do this. Then I gave him a few words of tactful persuasion.
But Chunjia couldn't listen at all, and shook his head and said: "It's okay at other times, at this time... How could the imperial concubine possibly want so much? You don't know that you are not the imperial concubine serving in front of you. Although the imperial concubine has a wild temperament, she is like many concubines. She doesn't get along very well, but she really cares about her family. When she was favored, she spared no effort to support her clan members, and she also took her two nieces besides Xie Meng under her knees to raise them. Look at San Gong and Liu Yuan, how many people treat her natal family like she does? Attention? After all, she was also very favored when she was in the Xie family. How can the relationship with the family be shallow? At this moment, she has nothing on her mind, she is only worried about being sad. "
"I hope she can still be a little calculating now, so as to divert some grief."
"But looking at her haggard look, it's obvious that she doesn't care at all."
"I can only try this to see if I can distract her a little bit."
"After all, the imperial concubine really feels sorry for the juniors."
"If not... I have to think of other ways."
"You guys think about it too!"
"Although the imperial concubine is young, as the ancients said, sorrow can hurt people. How many people can withstand such bad news one after another?"
"Back then Xiaozong... Well, let's not mention the late emperor. Anyway, I know you are loyal, but I haven't done anything extraordinary now. I just want the noble concubine to calm down as soon as possible!"
"Is it possible that my majestic emperor, who has not yet grown old, is no longer qualified to protect a beloved concubine?!"
After saying these last words, not to mention Yan Yin, not even Duke Yi and other senior ministers dared to persuade him.
After all, although everyone suspected that Yunfeng Huangcheng Mansion was deep, as the emperor said, this mistress was busy promoting her mother's family when she was favored. No one inside or outside could doubt her deep love for Xie.
Who stood up and objected at this time? Who could bear the emperor's wrath when the imperial concubine became ill
Just like when Concubine An made trouble earlier, no one dared to say anything for fear that Mrs. Yuan would "get angry".
Now everyone is also afraid that the imperial concubine will play this trick. No, the imperial concubine doesn't even need to deliberately play it. Maybe she really can't bear the bad news. Is there any good
So if we hit him now, what's the difference between seeking death
He's not just looking for death alone. His parents, relatives, friends, teachers, and disciples... all have a good life.
After all, Chunjia has a rich history of involvement, settling old scores, extermination of families, reneging on promises, etc.
