Chapter 383 Second Brother (Second)

"...Please forgive me, Madam." Yi Xingen hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice, "Because I heard that Mrs. Xie was not a high-ranking family at that time, and there was a gap between the Yun family and Madam, I was thinking that if I met Madam Come on, if there is something wrong, the concubines will definitely...will attack the empresses! So...so..."

"So you think it's safer to be under Ben Gong's hands, and even have more chances to show your face?" Yun Fenghuang nodded clearly, this idea is actually quite right.

At that time, Empress Yuan planned to let Yi Xingen go to work under the former concubine Zheng Shangchu. If she obeyed, Zheng Shangchu, who was already pregnant at that time, would not treat her badly, and even needed her help to solidify her favor, so she would try her best Introduce her to Chunjia, but...don't forget the whole situation at that time, that is, Chunjia was in power for the first time, and he was uniting with suppressed noble families such as the Yin family, the Luo family and the Ouyang family, and against the Ji family, the Zheng family, the Cui family, and the regents. Inherent power minister.

So even if he had been married for eight years and had no children, Zheng Shangchu's pregnancy would not be taken seriously by him.

In this case, even if Yi Xingen was extremely beautiful, if he went to Yanlan Palace at that time, his future might not be good.

On the other hand, Yun Fenghuang, who was still Mao Jieyu at that time, had a rough relationship with her nominal father, the Yun family, due to her low birth, but she could make the emperor rest assured and favor her.

Moreover, Yun Fenghuang, a newly promoted concubine, was very taboo for the newcomer to be more beautiful than herself.

However, there is another situation here: Yun Fenghuang was recognized as incapable of giving birth at that time.

She is not stupid, how could she not know the importance of the emperor's heir?

Unable to give birth by herself, she naturally points to the people below to help her have children.

Therefore, from Yi Xingen's point of view, coming to Xuanqing Palace is the best choice.

Neither will she be dragged down, and the presidency will help her to be favored. The biggest risk is that she will be deprived of her mother and keep her son after giving birth.

But she is so beautiful and has no family background, whoever goes under her will will lose her mother and keep her son. In contrast, Yun Fenghuang has many enemies and many people staring at her. It is even rarer for noble girls, but it is safer.

After thinking about this, Yun Fenghuang looked at Yi Xingen more appreciatively. At the beginning, when she heard from Yuan Hou that Yi Xingen asked to come to her, she never believed the so-called "At that time, the empress was the only I am a concubine who rescued these people" rhetoric.

The fault is not a few fools, how many people will be bought by small favors and small benefits in major matters related to the future?

What's more, Yun Fenghuang didn't feel that the casual words at that time were a kindness.

She didn't take it to heart.

Leaning back, she changed into a more comfortable and casual sitting position, and also showed her confidence and determination from the side. The imperial concubine said slowly: "You are quite smart, but I am thinking, I am afraid that you are not alone. People can figure it out."

Because Yi Xingen made this choice based on his understanding of the situation in the harem.

But according to her identity and vision at that time, I'm afraid she couldn't see so much.

Sure enough, Yi Xingen said in a low voice: "After my concubine was selected as a daughter-in-law, the person entrusted by my second brother once privately sent a message to my concubine, using the reason that the palace gate was as deep as the sea, to persuade me to change my mind. But I insisted on going my own way, So on the way to the Imperial Capital, there was a last message to let the concubine enter the palace, and try to go to the empress, saying so, is the best for the concubine."

Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly, and said: "For so many years, you have never thought about meeting and talking with your brother? No matter whether you are grateful or resentful towards him... after all, they are the same family."

"To tell you the truth, I have thought about it." Yi Xingen smiled self-deprecatingly, "But...after that message, there was no news from there! I don't even know what my second brother's surname is now. Who is he named and where is he? It is the entrusted person who only knows the name and general appearance. After so many years, the concubine thought, since the second brother is so cautious, he probably does not want to have anything to do with the concubine. And that The name of the person may not be true. As for the appearance... the person looks nothing special, the kind that can't be found in the crowd. Where can I find the concubine?"

"In the past, I didn't know about this matter." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "But now that you said it, as long as you want to see your brother that time, it's not impossible for me to help, send someone to search for one or two. How about it?"

"This..." Yi Xingen was a little hesitant. After all, judging from her description, although she may not be without a bit of resentment and grievance for her second brother's precautions, it is her own brother who saved her from the disaster. Rescuing her gave her a chance to sneak into the palace.

She certainly didn't want to watch the other party fall into Yun Fenghuang's schemes.

But Yun Fenghuang smiled and reminded: "Even if you were born in an official family when you were young, you are someone who rolled around in a brothel once. This palace can take pity on you and help you hide it. But others I know, but you may not be willing to keep it a secret for you. You don’t even know when someone will reveal this secret that you have carefully concealed, and it will become a big deal, so that everyone will know it! At that time, it will not only be you , this palace, even including Zhao Qing and the Seventh Princess, do you think they can hide?"

Seeing that Yi Xingen's expression was changing, she added more fire, "You must be clear about my dignity in front of His Majesty. I will explain it clearly. It is not my arrangement for you to enter the palace. When the time comes When this matter is exposed, Ben Gong will at best lose face. Your Majesty will never blame Ben Gong for this. But Zhao Qing and the Seventh Queen will definitely end badly. Even if Ben Gong likes Zhao Qing very much, I can only give it to you. She chose a husband-in-law and descended far away, just like Her Royal Highness Princess Sui'an left the imperial capital to avoid discussion. Even if she is an emperor daughter, if she leaves the emperor, do you think she can not be wronged? Especially Zhaoqing's sex - Son, you are the one who can't bear to be wronged!"

"..." Yi Xingen was silent, his expression struggling.

"Besides, I am willing to believe that what you said is true." Yun Fenghuang was not in a hurry, sipped his tea, and said, "But... have you thought about it? From the beginning to the end, the so-called your second brother Pai People saving you are all one-sided words of the entrusted person. You have never met your second brother. In fact, even if you did, there are no other people in your family. You are still very young and have no memories. If that is the case, as long as a man of your age who knows a little about your family stands in front of you and claims to be your brother, will you doubt it?"

Yi Xingen was startled, and said: "I am..."

"Under that situation, you definitely wouldn't doubt it. After all, it was your most difficult time. You must have thought, who would save you at that time except your blood and flesh relatives?" Yun Fenghuang said kindly, "But, have you ever thought that with your appearance, you yourself have thought about using it to win the favor of the rich and noble emperor, and other people are not blind, so they don't know that you must be selected into the palace?"

"But the envoy of flowers and birds was designed by myself..." Yi Xingen was interrupted by Yun Fenghuang: "Maybe it was an accident, but it's also possible that it's because you did what your so-called second brother did. Plan. Otherwise, if he really disagrees with your entry into the palace, how can he stop you? Not to mention that your origin is a problem in the first place, but he was able to arrange someone to deliver a message to you at that time, but he couldn’t arrange someone to send you a message. You do something to make it impossible for you to come to the Imperial Capital?"

"All in all, don't listen to the wind and the rain, and think that if someone says it's your brother, it's your brother."

"Just think about it, if it's really your second brother, he would have sent someone to get you out of the brothel, and even killed the madam and the nobles of Zhizhou for this, why would you be stingy even to meet you?"

"Not even after that message?"

"If that kind of cold-hearted person...why bother you in the brothel?"

"..." Yi Xingen's expression was complicated, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

It can be seen that no matter what she thinks about that brother over the years, she has never doubted that it was her brother's.

Now being reminded suddenly, I can't help but feel a little at a loss.

Yun Fenghuang saw her expression in his eyes, curled his mouth slightly, and said softly: "So I am doing it for your own good. If your elder brother is really behind this matter, then that's fine. If not, think about it for yourself. What on earth are you doing all this trouble? If you are purely doing good deeds, why pretend to be your second brother? If you have other plans, huh... then things will be troublesome. After all, daring to deploy from the distant Zhizhou means that your Majesty's pillow Yes, it’s really rare.”

"For example, Mrs. Ji."

"You should know that not long ago, His Majesty personally asked about Ji Minggan's whereabouts again, but he made up his mind to kill him thoroughly!"

Yi Xingen took a few deep breaths, and finally showed a wry smile: "Your Majesty... what you said is true!"

... After a long while, Yun Fenghuang watched her leave, squinted his eyes and called Chen Jing, speaking in a few words with a characteristic accent: "This person appeared in Zhizhou at the end of the sixth year of Chunjia, and he may have something to do with the Qizi who caused chaos in Zhizhou , go to Haosheng to check it out. Be quick with your hands and feet when you check it, so that no one will notice it."

Chen Jing agreed, unavoidably curious: "Madam, does this person have something to do with Madam Zhaorong?"

He remembered that Yi Xing'en was from Zhizhou, and this Yi Zhaorong had just left, and the imperial concubine asked him to investigate, so there must be something related.

"Maybe." Yun Fenghuang was noncommittal, and Yi Xingen was also thoughtful. Although the attitude just now did not seem to be fake, it may not be credible.

At least not entirely believable.

However, this person is expected to care a little about his own flesh and blood.

After all, even Yun Fenghuang himself, facing King Jin, couldn't help but plan for him.

Even though Qin Wang Zhaoqing's non-biological children could not do it wholeheartedly, but it is impossible to say that they have no sincerity at all.

How long has it been raised.

So with Zhaoqing in hand, as long as Yi Xingen is not pushed to a corner, it is still very usable.

That's all Yun Fenghuang asked of Yi Xingen at present.

As for the other things...it depends on what Chen Jing's investigation turns out.

If it is really a master who both loves and dislikes his blood sister who has been in a brothel, it will not be of much use, and arrange a good aftermath, so that this previous record will not be exposed in the future, so that Yun Fenghuang is in a hurry, that's it.

But if the other party refused to show up, it would be quite special...

Of course, Yun Fenghuang would not let go of the people and things that came to his door.

Thinking of this, she smiled and told Honge: "I haven't seen Zhaoqing for two days, if she is free later and I call her over, I will tell you that I want to assess her studies."

The eldest daughter of the emperor is intelligent and never afraid of assessment.

Therefore, for Zhaoqing, this is a rare opportunity to get along with his mother and concubine.

Since you want to make someone's biological mother charge forward and take the lead, you have to give someone's daughter some sweetness to show sincerity, right?

The Seventh Prince was like this, and Zhao Qing was no exception.
