Gu Zhen only felt relaxed for a short while. Soon, her conversation with the imperial concubine reached a deadlock.
The main thing is that both parties did not hesitate to express their malice towards Queen Mother Yuan, but!
No one wants to be the one to take action.
The queen hoped that the concubine would charge into the battle, do everything, and finally enjoy the results... Well... the concubine thought so too.
There is no way to continue talking about this.
"When the empress dowager was still in the palace, she never wanted to see you." Gu Zhen felt very tired. She tried to persuade Yun Fenghuang, "If she comes back this time, she will definitely use you to set rules. You It was just one person before, but now I have many children, if not for yourself, you should also earn some face for the children!"
Aren't you a loving mother
What would you do if Empress Dowager Yuan came back to operate on your children
Can you just watch your children run into obstacles and be unwelcome everywhere
This kind of threat was too weak for Yun Fenghuang. She immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really good at joking. Even if the Empress Dowager, a loving mother, wants to establish her authority after she comes back, she should find the Empress, the Queen Mother. No matter how you say it, I am just a concubine. The empress dowager, a loving mother, looked down upon me and spread the word. Others thought that His Majesty's respect for her was just that. So they did not dare to cause trouble for the serious palace official. , will take it out on concubines and others, making it seem like the Queen Mother bullies the weak and fears the strong!"
"Furthermore, everyone saw last night how much your Majesty feels for this person in his heart."
"I dare to tell you the truth: Do you think that this lady has come back this time, and apart from other things, she will establish a heir in the future, so your majesty can't listen to her?"
Gu Zhen's face looked ugly. This was what she was worried about!
Although Chunjia valued Empress Dowager Yuan, she was not a foolish king after all.
With Gu's family status, even if Empress Dowager Yuan returns to the palace, it is unlikely that she will retaliate against Gu.
The key is that the establishment of a crown prince will be inevitable in two years... Will Empress Dowager Yuan miss this opportunity to take revenge on the Gu family
impossible.
And the Gu family has put in all kinds of sacrifices and hardships over the years just to give birth to a queen mother.
It can be said that Empress Dowager Yuan returned in peace, which neither Gu Zhen nor the Gu family could accept.
Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang's face was a little subtle. She was a little suspicious whether Chunjia had considered this and said that deliberately. The purpose was to use her own hands to push Gu Zhen down the cliff for Empress Dowager Yuan. A handful
But this thought was quickly crushed by her own force.
If the emperor continues to fool her like this all these years, then her imperial favors are really just a joke.
After regaining her composure, the imperial concubine continued in a slow voice, "Your Majesty, I don't speak secretly in front of people. I am from a humble background, and my status is no more than that of a noble concubine! Your Majesty is determined, and my future is now over. Furthermore, After all, there is no irresolvable grudge between me and my loving mother, the Queen Mother... Now Your Majesty’s thoughts are fixed on my loving mother, the Queen Mother. I don’t dare to act inappropriately at this time!"
Gu Zhen had already decided to contact her mother-in-law immediately to find a solution, but she still said: "Even so, you also know that if the loving mother Queen Mother comes back, she may not be able to target only one person. Do you think you are the only one who will do this to Concubine An?" Will the loving mother-in-law, the Queen Mother, let you go after all those things?"
... The two of them argued back and forth for a long time, but no one could convince the other.
Eventually broke up on bad terms.
When Yun Fenghuang returned to Huanhua Palace, he was told that Princess Lin came to visit and had been staying in Nuan Pavilion for a while.
"What is this person doing here?" Yun Fenghuang was confused and asked Honge to inform him that he had just returned and had to change his clothes before he could go out.
Taking advantage of the time to freshen up, she asked her left and right, "Can you show your breath?"
"No." Everyone shook their heads and said, "But, maybe it has something to do with his son?"
"That doesn't have much to do with me. What's she doing here looking for me? It's not like I tricked her only son." Yun Fenghuang muttered, thinking of the results of the draw and the Queen Mother Qu who stayed in Fuyang County. , his eyes flashed and he said nothing.
After a while, she saw Princess Lin in the Nuan Pavilion.
As the successor of the King of Zhou, Lin was much younger than the King of Zhou and could marry well, not to mention her appearance. However, the death of her only son was a big blow after all. Even though she was heavily powdered, she looked haggard.
"The princess is really a rare visitor." Yun Fenghuang greeted her for a few words and then asked her straight to the point, "The queen must also know about the accident at the New Year's Eve banquet. Nowadays, the harem has some hearts and minds, but it may not be convenient for the princess to stay for a long time. .”
The implication is, if you have something to say, just leave as soon as possible. I am very busy and don't have much time to listen to your chatter.
Lin's face had no expression: "I didn't dare to disturb the imperial concubine rashly, but I have something important to do."
Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to say anything, she explained clearly: She was here to tell Yun Fenghuang the truth about Queen Mother Yuan's poisoning.
The truth is that no one deliberately targeted the Empress Dowager Yuan who had repeatedly failed in battles. It was purely the Empress Dowager Yuan who made a desperate move, directed and acted to arouse Chunjia's guilt!
"Why did the princess know about this?" To be honest, when she heard about this at the table before, Yun Fenghuang also had doubts for a moment. This was not only because she had played similar tricks herself, but also because she felt that this matter was too big. What a coincidence... When can something bad happen? At the New Year's Eve banquet, when the emperor and his ministers were having fun together, he hurriedly came up to report to Chunjia, saying that the elder who single-handedly raised you, who was not your own mother, was almost gone
For anyone whose conscience has not been completely extinguished, this is like a stab in the heart!
It was just that Chunjia relented and acquiesced in Yun Fenghuang's participation in seizing the heirloom, which attracted most of her attention, and she didn't think much about it after that.
At this moment, listening to Lin's words, he was quite surprised, "Why did you come to tell me?"
Lin said coldly: "Because this poisonous woman harmed my only child, I will naturally keep an eye on her... As for why I came to tell the imperial concubine, it is very simple, because I hope to join hands with the imperial concubine and let the poisonous woman make the mistake. , I will really die from now on!"
"The princess may have some misunderstandings about me." Yun Fenghuang frowned, "Although I am not favored by the empress dowager, I am deeply grateful for the emperor's kindness. Your majesty shows filial piety to the empress dowager. Of course, I also..."
"The poisonous woman has successfully calculated that His Majesty will personally go to see her one last time." Lin didn't wait for her to finish speaking, interrupted, and said in a deep voice, "If this last meeting is a coincidence, there will be a future. At least. For a considerable part of the time, His Majesty, even if he did not obey his words, would definitely be very indulgent and protective! Until then, how will you treat him? You also said that the loving mother Queen Mother does not want to see you. She was able to kill my son in the first place, how could she treat you? , do you have compassion for the children in front of you?!"
Yun Fenghuang twitched the corner of his mouth. To be honest, Gongxiang Ruochang really couldn't be counted among the two empresses, especially the one who killed empress dowager Yuan.
At most it was an unintentional mistake... Neither of the two queen mothers had any intention of wanting Gong Xiang Ruochang to die at that time. They just didn't expect that their master's body was so fragile.
But from Lin's point of view, the purpose of these two people is not important. What is important is that Gongxiang Ruohan is dead, and this is her only child!
Even though Gong Xiang Ruocheng had an heir left behind, he himself was the biological flesh and blood of Lin's ten-month pregnancy!
"Your Majesty will protect my ladies." Yun Fenghuang actually liked Lin's temperament in his heart. After Gongxiang Ruocheng left, Chunjia was very anxious and spent a lot of effort. To appease the King of Zhou and his wife.
Even so, judging from Lin's intentions, it was obvious that she didn't care about making amends or not, she just wanted to avenge her son.
It's just that Yun Fenghuang can't trust her after all, otherwise he really wants to discuss it with Lin to see if they can form an alliance to deal with Empress Dowager Yuan.
"And the princess has gone, why should the princess be so brooding about it? You know, this matter was purely a misunderstanding and an accident. At the beginning, the two empress dowagers, whether they were the loving empress dowager or the holy empress dowager, actually had nothing to do with each other. It means something unfavorable to you."
Mrs. Lin listened, sneered slightly, and said: "Such words sound very clear to me. It's just that the imperial concubine said so herself. If His Highness, Prince Jin, did not know about someone else's shortcomings, would the imperial concubine be willing to let it go?"
That is of course impossible!
Not to mention tricking my only biological flesh and blood to death, if they just block the road, or are likely to block the road, I will not let their whole family go.
Yun Fenghuang thought so in his heart, but said without hesitation: "It is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies! Please think again, Princess. Considering what happened to the Princess, I will not say anything to anyone, and please be cautious in the future." .”
Mrs. Lin looked at her, with anger and helplessness in her eyes, and said: "The palace where the empress dowager lives now has not been visited by the royal family for many years. However, it was quite popular during Sejong's time. The prince is older and has a higher seniority. I have many connections in the palace... In fact, I can do this alone, but it will be safer if I have the help of the empress. After all, I am not afraid of death, but my son still has heirs... "
"The princess knows that your majesty is very considerate of me." Yun Fenghuang was already very moved, but still shook his head, "How can I live up to the holy will? I am not a queen!"
"..." Mrs. Lin was silent for a while, and finally left without saying a word.
As soon as she left, Yun Fenghuang quickly asked Chen Jing to keep an eye on her: "Let's see if she goes to find the queen? If not, we must find a way to lure her there!"
Another person quickly went to Fuyang County, "Go and say hello to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and also ask the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, what happened to her poisoning this time."
If Empress Dowager Yuan was poisoned, it would be nothing more than repayment. Since it was a cruel trick, then the empress dowager's behavior would probably not be as simple as being welcomed back to the palace by Chunjia.
Thinking of this, the imperial concubine couldn't help but have a headache.
I just feel that the road to Qingci Palace is more difficult than I imagined...
She was trying hard to bring Lin and the Queen together, and the people below reported the matter. It was not a big deal in nature, but it somewhat made the high-ranking officials feel more complicated: "Mother, someone came from outside just now, saying that Li Jieyu is pregnant. "
