Chapter Four Hundred and Fortieth Second

As soon as Gu Zhen's face changed, she immediately suspected that it was the work of the loving mother, the empress dowager. She cursed in her heart, okay, she thought it was her own birthday banquet after all, and she just paid it off when she felt so disgusted yesterday, who knows Do you want to come again today? ? ?

Does this mean that Chunjia is not present at the moment, so she can do whatever she wants? !

Isn't it afraid that after the emperor finds out, he can see the true face of this loving mother and empress dowager, so that the gap between mother and child will come out again?

The queen's thoughts turned and she hadn't figured out what to do. The noble concubine who was holding a bowl to feed King Jin also noticed, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"...It is said that something happened later." Gu Zhen's face sank, he glanced at her, and said with a thought, "I'm a little tired at the moment, why don't you go and have a look, Concubine?"

She wondered whether it was caused by the kind mother Empress Dowager or not, anyway, it was better to leave it to the noble concubine than to be caught off guard.

Who knew that she just said this, but the maid who came to report the letter immediately and quietly tore off the corner of her clothes, as if she wanted to stop her from doing so.

Gu Zhen was wondering why the maid was like this, but saw another palace man came in at the door, the palace man was somewhat familiar, it was the red calyx in front of the imperial concubine, her complexion was very ugly, the kind of ugly that forced herself to calm down, After looking around, he quickly walked towards the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with Yishi under the imperial concubine's hands." Seeing this, the maid who reported the letter to the queen was immediately anxious, and without caring about the rules, she quickly got up and approached the queen's ear, and said quickly, "Yishi just talked with a foreign minister. In the woods... just happened to be bumped into by a patrolling guard! This?"

"..." Why didn't you say it earlier, you idiot? !

You should have made it clear to Ben Gong earlier, instead of dawdling! ! !

Gu Zhen didn't have time to think about it, and immediately raised his head to meet the inquiring gaze of his loving mother, the empress dowager, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, something has happened, and it is of great importance. My daughter-in-law dare not make decisions without authorization, so I ask my mother to move and help take care of it." Eyes, how should we deal with such things?"

The empress dowager's loving mother narrowed her eyes slightly, and her thoughts turned a few times, a little suspicious that the empress was retreating to advance, and wanted to use herself as an excuse to covet the palace power, and was about to refuse, but Yun Fenghuang's face suddenly changed, Shen Sheng said: "This is a good day for the empress dowager. How can there be any reason to let the birthday star do things? The empress dowager's move is too unreasonable. It is better to ask the empress dowager to sit here with the empress dowager. For some trivial matters, let the concubine Let's go and deal with it. But why bother the empress dowager's interest?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhen sneered slightly: "If the imperial concubine said so in normal times, I would give you some face. But this time, it's not suitable for you to go, right? You must know that this time This matter has a lot to do with Yishi. As we all know, Yishi was brought up by you, and now she has made a mistake, no matter how big or small, shouldn't the imperial concubine avoid suspicion?"

Hearing that the queen mentioned Yi Shi, the loving mother Empress Dowager couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Although she has been away from the palace for a while, she is very clear about the temperament of the empress and concubine.

Queen Gu Zhen was certainly not shrewd enough, after all, it was not out of proportion to be beaten all the way here.

If Yi Xingen was just an ordinary transgression, even if the empress was upset, she would not pursue and beat her, let alone scold the imperial concubine face to face.

Because of the concubine's favor, Chunjia didn't care about trivial matters at all, and even felt that the person who was holding on to her was just looking for trouble.

If you want to make use of it, you are just asking for fun.

To be able to make the queen so aggressive and bluntly say that the noble concubine is not allowed to interfere, this...

The words of the loving mother Empress Dowager changed immediately: "Okay, how old are they? There are so many people here, and they are still so noisy. I'm not afraid of being seen as a joke."

It seems that after Circus said something, she then turned to the Queen, "You have always been prudent. In the days since Aijia came back, you have never asked Aijia for anything. It is rare to speak once. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Aijia can never I've brushed off your face, that's all, after sitting around Ai's family for a day, I'm a little tired, so let's take a walk with you."

The meaning behind the words is that the Ai family did not interfere with the palace affairs on purpose, otherwise, how long has the Ai family been back in the imperial capital, and he has never interfered in the affairs of the harem, has he?

The reason why this one will take care of it today is purely to save face for the queen!

But there is no other meaning.

When Gu Zhen heard it, she couldn't help but despise her in her heart for acting like an upright person, but the most urgent thing is to unite with the queen mother to beat the noble concubine... She might have thought about this in the past, after all, the queen mother is also extremely difficult to deal with .

But now, although the Empress Dowager has returned to the Imperial Capital, she is not in the palace, so the threat is naturally greatly reduced.

The most important thing is that the finalization of the candidates for the Da Yan clan and Chunjia's favoritism towards the imperial concubine these days made the queen and the Gu clan very worried that unexpected changes would occur, threatening the possibility of the direct prince becoming the Eastern Palace.

All in all, for the empress and the Gu family, the first target of attack is undoubtedly the imperial concubine!

"My daughter-in-law thanked my mother-in-law!" So Gu Zhen got up immediately and finalized the matter, "Please also invite my mother-in-law to come with my daughter-in-law."

Seeing Yun Fenghuang pushing away the King Jin who was tired of her acting coquettishly with a gloomy face, he also stood up, raised his eyebrows and said, "Concubine, you stay here and greet the guests on behalf of the Palace."

"Today is the third day of banquet, and there is Concubine Shu and Concubine De, and the guests are not alone." Yun Fenghuang took a deep breath, and his sleeves trembled slightly imperceptibly, the kind that can be found when you look closely. Trying to calm down and restrain her anger, she said in a deep voice, "As for the concubine, I haven't seen the empress dowager for a long time, and I want to be around and listen to the teachings! I also ask the empress dowager and empress dowager for permission!"

She also wanted to follow under the guise of being filial, but the queen didn't want to do what she wanted, and said with a sullen face: "You want to be filial, but there will be opportunities in the future, why? You want to disobey orders?!"

The concubines and guests nearby were all watching, and they didn't dare to show their atmosphere!

Although everyone in the imperial concubine knew that if the concubine was twisted, the queen would most likely not be able to handle the concubine, but the queen was the lord of the six palaces after all, she said so in public, if Yun Fenghuang still wanted to disobey, she would know, There must be courtiers who will come forward to impeach, and even affect the reputation of King Qin and other heirs of Xuanqing Palace in the future.

After all, at such a time, what matters is that a general has no dogs. If the mother has misbehavior, how will her offspring be affirmed?

This is just the pros and cons of public opinion.

The most important thing is that if a pig teammate is spread out after being supported, it will be a sad day.

"..." Yun Fenghuang's face was livid, he glanced at the queen coldly, and suddenly lifted up his skirt and bowed to the Queen Mother Yuan, "I beg your mother to take good care of me, I haven't seen you for a long time, these three days, the banquet At this time, although you can occasionally get the empress's affection, how can you get rid of the concubine's admiration?"

The Empress Dowager Yuan, who was happy to see the queen and the concubine tearing apart, narrowed her eyes, glanced at the queen and then at the concubine, and finally said with a half-smile: "Forget it, you have said that, the Ai family must not be unkind."

He looked at the queen and said, "Zhen'er, do you see this?"

Even if the queen had prepared tonight to perform the show of mother-in-law's kindness and daughter-in-law's filial piety, she couldn't help but be shocked by the sudden "Zhener"!

It seems that Bengong is still too naive!

Looking at the Empress Dowager Yuan, who seemed to have nothing to do, as if the two had always been in love with her mother and daughter, and Concubine Min, who looked respectful as if she hadn't heard at all, Gu Zhen settled down and said reluctantly: "Since the empress mother has orders, my daughter-in-law will naturally follow them." !"

She sneered secretly in her heart, she was caught by the guards just now!

Even if the imperial concubine has gone, how can I explain it?

Could it be that people inside and outside would believe that Yi Xingen was in the forest with a foreign minister at the dawn of twilight, treating each other with courtesy?

In this way, the three of them were surrounded by the palace people, left their seats, and walked back.

At this time, a jingshe had been vacated for the people above to deal with this matter, and when he arrived near the jingshe, he saw the guards here, all of them looked heavy and trembling.

The queen is not surprised, after all, it is normal for people involved to be disposed of in such a big scandal.

Now she doesn't care about these people, she pretends to be filial to her daughter-in-law, and helps the queen mother to sit inside, and then she calls several guards to come forward: "What's going on, tell me!"

"Return to the words of the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine." The guards were all majestic, tall and mighty, but at the moment they were quite anxious, especially when they saw the Imperial Concubine present, they wished to wipe off their cold sweat on the spot, and walked cautiously. Said, "These people in the humble job are responsible for patrolling the palace tonight, so..."

The incident was actually very simple. The group of guards started patrolling as they were on duty in the past. When they walked to the grove not far from the banquet, they heard movement inside.

Of course, it is impossible to just ignore the important place in the palace, so I asked and went in to look for it.

As a result, as soon as he entered, he saw Zhaorong Yi Xing'en, under Concubine Min's command, kneeling on the ground, grabbing the corner of a young foreign minister's robe not far away, crying and crying, still yelling at the other party "" Ruthless", "how can I be willing to do so" and so on.

A few guards were in a bad mood at the time!

Although, it is impossible for them to pretend that they don't know anything and walk away. They have no choice but to detain him first, and send someone to quietly report to their superiors.

The boss is also scalp numb. After all, if she is an ordinary concubine, it's fine. For example, the eighth prince before, first pressed the button and didn't send it. After a while, no one paid attention, and then passed away.

The problem is that Yi Xingen is not an ordinary concubine, not to mention that Concubine Min Gui behind her is the emperor's heart and soul, but she herself, not to mention the highest rank, has given birth to two imperial daughters under her knees.

Among them, Princess Zhaoqing, the eldest daughter of the emperor, is Chunjia's favorite heir!

Then, the foreign minister who was captured together with Yi Xingen was not an unknown person... An unknown person is also not eligible to attend the birthday banquet of the loving mother, the Empress Dowager.

This is Du Langu, Cui Wan's proud disciple and the capable minister whom the emperor has much hoped for!

How else can this be done?

The superior of the Forbidden Army really didn't have the courage to tell the emperor the bad news, so he could only try to tell the empress first.

In fact, this is also a time for the noble concubine to relax, lest Yi Xingen and her adulterer can't escape later, the noble concubine gets angry and will rely on the emperor's favor to settle accounts with the imperial army for them in a few days!

After listening to the ins and outs, and seeing Yi Xingen who was brought up, although she stopped crying, her tears were still there, her temples were slightly disheveled, and although there was panic in her expression, there was more melancholy that was difficult to dispel; Du Langu's expressionless face seemed to be resigned to fate. The loving mother, the empress dowager, and the empress were all furious!
