The next day after greeting everyone, after leaving Mianfu Palace, Yun Fenghuang came to the side of the phoenix chariot and whispered: "My queen, there is something wrong with me that I want to report."
The summer heat was already very strong at this time. Although there was an ice basin in the phoenix chariot, the few steps down the long steps from the entrance of Mianfu Palace were still too much for the pampered Zhonggong. Hearing this, he said: "Go to this palace." Let’s talk there.”
After a while, Yun Fenghuang's shoulder carriage followed the phoenix chariot and landed in front of Chongchang Palace. The two concubines walked in one after the other. Palace servants had already prepared them, handing over cold handkerchiefs and carrying cold Yuanzi. Serve and feel refreshed.
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but said: "The people here are still smart. I'm here for the first time. It's such a hot day. When I go back, I talk about my handkerchief and drink. Everyone is in a hurry and they don't even know what to do."
"So you came here to cool off with me?" Empress Ji joked with a smile, "I followed me for a long time, just because of this little thing, spread the word, and people said that I have treated Tangtang Jieyu badly."
"Isn't this why the empress dotes on me?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Otherwise, how could I be so bold?"
After joking for a while, she said seriously, "Empress, I think that Yue Jieyu's blessings are not deep enough."
Empress Ji raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Oh?"
"How can this humble maid be so virtuous as to give birth to an heir?" Yun Fenghuang snorted, his eyes and brows filled with disdain for Yuan Yuniang, "Otherwise, how could she have had a miscarriage when she had a good child before? Furthermore, His Majesty is now in charge of the government. If you win a man at one stroke, how can your reputation in the government and the public not be improved? Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, Huzhu Palace should not continue to live in peace!"
Empress Ji took a sip of the sugar ice and snow Leng Yuanzi, and said kindly: "You are extremely loyal to say this to me. But... I won't hide it from you. Your Majesty has seemed gentle and harmless in the past eight years. He has no fight with the world, but now he looks deep in thought and holds back! He didn't say anything about Yue Jieyu's pregnancy, so how could he not be on guard in his heart? I have always been tabooed by him and it is difficult for him to act. "
"As for leaving it to others, Mu Zi... Well, I don't even want to mention her. She is just a confused person who can't even tell the difference between one of our own and outsiders! I've caused you a lot of trouble!"
Tactfully apologizing for Ji Muzi, he added, "I have thought about this matter over and over again, and you are the only one who is most suitable. But..."
The queen sighed and whispered, "You have to think clearly! Although the three palaces and six courtyards are all His Majesty's people, everyone knows that Yuan's wretched maid is his heart and soul!"
"Empress, that's why we can't let her give birth to an heir!" Yun Fenghuang looked firm, but his heart sank, "Otherwise, it would be fine if she were a princess. If she is a prince, in this palace, from now on, Who can still stand?"
Although she was not free when she was under house arrest in Xiaoyingzhou, her treatment was not bad.
At that time, he only thought that it was the result of hugging the Queen's thigh, and also said that the Queen still had some trust and protection in him despite the deep city.
But after coming out, I learned the whole story, especially Mrs. Ye Guogong. The queen's direct grandmother died tragically in front of the Empress Dowager. Emperor Chunjia quickly took over the government, and the queen's direct cousin Ji Muzi was demoted to a palace concubine. ... After such a disastrous defeat, the Queen did not have the slightest doubt about herself, the most direct and powerful witness to Emperor Chunjia's innocence, and was even more sincere than before...
Why isn't this called Yun Fenghuang creepy
After thinking about it, she decided to use Yuan Niang to test it. Didn't the queen keep saying before that when she asked Yun Fenghuang to test the emperor, she should not be too explicit, after all, she didn't have many people under her command
But compared with the temptation to act coquettishly and coquettishly, the emperor who has a good temper and is far from being able to act arbitrarily now, murdering a pregnant concubine, especially Yuan Yuniang, the emperor's childhood sweetheart, is not only more dangerous, but also faces the possibility of... Both the emperor and the Empress Dowager Yuan will end up with no room for change!
If the queen really didn't doubt her, then even if she didn't want to keep Yuan Niang pregnant, she wouldn't let Yun Fenghuang take the responsibility for it.
After all, as the well-established ruler of the Sixth Palace, the Queen has many ways to deal with Yue Jieyu, who is not very smart, and there are so many people in the palace who resent Yuan Yuniang, so the Queen does not necessarily need to take action herself.
Why risk your trusted confidants
But now Queen Ji has not only agreed, but the implication is that this matter will be left to Yun Fenghuang...
Yun Fenghuang's thoughts were racing, but his face remained calm, instead showing a look of determination: "Furthermore, Yue Jieyu was a concubine before. Although she is now on the same level as me, with her dignity in front of His Majesty, Once the emperor gives birth to an heir and returns to the throne of concubine, I'm afraid His Majesty will be eager to send her to the fourth concubine! At that time, even if the empress is willing to return to protect me, I can't hide under her wings all the time. Are you ready?"
Empress Ji pondered, she had discussed with her subordinates before using Yuan Fenghuang's pregnancy to test Yun Fenghuang, but now that Yun Fenghuang took the initiative, she was a little hesitant. This Mao Jieyu has always been cunning. The key is that she has no moral integrity. The master was not merciless at all, and the vows he made now were exactly what he wanted, which made the queen a little suspicious.
"What are you going to do?" The queen thought about it, but finally asked without directly expressing her position, "Although you are at the same level as Yue Jieyu now, now that you have moved out of Huzhu Palace, it will be difficult and too difficult to go back. Too conspicuous."
Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because I have moved out of Huzhu Palace that what happened there has nothing to do with me or your Majesty!"
Seeing Queen Ji frown slightly, she blinked, "When I was in Huzhu Palace before, I went to Ningbi Palace frequently!"
"Did you place personnel in the Ningbi Palace?" the queen said unexpectedly, "It's just that Yuan had a miscarriage before, but this time she was very tightly guarded. Almost all of her attendants came from Chunyou Palace. Mother Yuan's ability to train people, It’s not something Yuan can compare to.”
Yun Fenghuang Yanran said: "I'll give it to you first, and then I'll come back to you to ask for your reward after everything is done, okay?"
"..." The queen took a deep look at her and nodded, "Then, I am waiting for your good news!"
After the others left, Queen Ji's face darkened and she snorted, "It has nothing to do with me? This little Yun family is really spoiled by me, and she actually dares to threaten me tactfully!"
The confidant palace maid persuaded her to calm down: "You are just a Jieyu. Your Majesty doesn't like it, so I will just tell my servants to take care of it."
"No." Empress Ji sighed and shook her head, "It would be a pity to let her die now. Let's keep it and send people to keep an eye on Ningbi Palace. If she didn't deceive me just now, then some small thoughts will be very At this time, I will turn a blind eye. If she... then it will not be too late to strike!"
The two masters and servants who had left Yanfu Palace were also discussing in a low voice: "Empress, even if you are not in Huzhu Palace now, the relationship between the emperor and the heir is very important. When the time comes, a thorough investigation will be carried out, I'm afraid...I'm afraid that I can't hide it? Anyway, you are now the master of the first palace, so why bother with Yue Jieyu anymore?"
"Do you really believe that I have any plans in the Ningbi Palace?" Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes at Xile and sneered, "Even your Imperial City Secretary may not be sure that you can escape completely after doing this. Where does Gong come from with this ability? It’s just a word like that!”
"Ah?"
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Didn't the Queen allow me to tell her when the matter is completed?"
Xile quipped: "But...but this...this can only delay it for a while at most?"
"So take this opportunity to find something for the Queen to do!" Yun Fenghuang sighed, suddenly turned around on his shoulder, glanced sideways at the Yanfu Palace that was already dimly visible behind him, curved his lips slightly, and said softly , "There are so many people in the harem, why don't you just keep staring at me?"
She went back to Xuanqing Palace for lunch. After taking a nap, she ordered Liuhong to go to Tongxia Palace to invite Yun Qingman to come and talk.
"Don't go!" Yun Qingman happened to be in front of Concubine Shu. Hearing the report from the palace servants, he subconsciously wanted to leave Concubine Shu. But before he said the words, Concubine Shu stopped him, "These days, I have given you no words or orders." Have you forgotten?! This bitch can even kill herself, let alone you? From now on, you must stay away from her!"
Yun Qingman wondered: "But..."
"What's wrong?!" Concubine Shu said impatiently, "Have you taken what I told you to heart?! Do you think this bitch is lucky to be granted the title of concubine this time! She just pinched her I'll seize the opportunity and step on you to get the upper hand! After all, the Yun family has already given birth to the concubine Shu in this palace, and now she has given birth to Mao Jieyu. Do you think the former harem will allow our family to have three concubines in one family? !”
"Especially now that the person in charge of the harem is still the Ji family!"
"But that medicine was made by Ji Zhaoyuan, ah, it was made by Ji Bin's subordinates." Yun Qingman said in a low voice, "Feng Huang's family is not well-off, so what is the benefit of giving herself a child-avoiding medicine? My father was willing to arrange for her to enter the palace, no? She also thinks that she may have a good fortune in having children, can she give birth to children for her sister?"
Concubine Shu sneered, gave her a fierce look, and said in a cold voice: "Do you believe this kind of words that are used to excuse ignorant people?! In the case of Ji Zhaoyuan, His Majesty and I teamed up to get him to death. On her head! But just because of this matter, you, the Daoji clan, are willing to let Yun Fenghuang be conferred as a concubine? Don't you look at this palace, who can claim to be 'this palace', who doesn't have a prince or general to back him up? Those who don’t have it, no matter how intelligent, considerate and charming they are, they still have to huddle in the side hall!”
"Why make an exception for her?!"
"I tell you, this is all because of you!"
Yun Qingman was confused: "Because of me?"
"Before you entered the palace, you had already decided to become a concubine. With our father's status, even if the Ji family is not willing to do so, we cannot stop it." Concubine Shu said with a cold face, "However, Yun is using the banner of our clan sister. Feng Huang defected to the queen, and the idiot Ji Muzi was tricked by her, and she rushed to have a chance to have a summer party... In this way, Ji seemed to have knocked out her teeth and swallowed it, and she took it in frustration. Giving her a concubine position to appease her is actually something Ji wants to do!"
Because Yun Fenghuang is the daughter of the Yun family recognized by Duke Yi, after she was made a concubine, if the concubine of Duke Yi wanted to be made a concubine, the Ji family had a reason to stop it: one family and two concubines from the Yun family already showed the royal favor. Haodang, he wants to have another concubine. Isn't this too ambitious? !
What is the family background of their Ji family? There are only two sisters named Ji in the palace now!
The key point is that Yun Fenghuang is known as the daughter of the Yun family, and the concubine and favors are all considered to be a favor to the Yun family. In fact, she only has enmity and no friendship with the Yun family, and she is quite flattering to the queen. This is equivalent to the Ji family using the Yun family's favor to cultivate help for themselves, why would the Ji family not do it
"I made an agreement with Your Majesty before that when the limelight of this incident is over, Yun Fenghuang will be dealt with." Concubine Shu glanced at her blankly-looking sister and said softly, "When the time comes, I will seek the title of concubine for you... So Don’t be confused now, that Yun Fenghuang is cunning and vicious, he hasn’t paid attention to us for a long time since he came back from Xiaoyingzhou, and now he suddenly invites you over, what good thing can it do?!”
Then he remembered something again, "By the way, the Miaocai you married into the palace also happened when you were following her palace maid. How could it be such a coincidence? She probably instigated it! She doesn't even let the people around you go. Let alone you?"
Without waiting for Yun Qingman to speak again, he directly asked the palace servants to send Liu Hong away, "Just give me a reason. If Mao Jieyu really misses Qingman that much, she probably wouldn't mind coming to Tongxia Palace in person!"
