Chapter 451 Tit for Tat

"Report to Empress Dowager." Who would dare to intervene in the presence of the imperial concubine?

Hearing that all the concubines looked at Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang also did his part, pressing his chest, with a look of lingering fear, and said anxiously, "Just now, the concubines heard about Uncle Zhao Wu, and they are really worried about your mother. No, I just came over one after another to have a look? Only when I came did I find out that the palace maid stopped outside and no one was allowed to see you! The concubine discussed with her in a friendly voice, saying that it was not too long before the mother ordered , but don’t be too sad, what went wrong? In the end, this lowly maid..."

The noble concubine's face darkened instantly, and she snorted coldly, "How dare you refuse to die! The more I think about it, the more suspicious I become, so I offended Feng Nian, and ordered someone to force open the door to come in... Fortunately, the empress is safe and sound!"

When Gu Zhen received the bad news, he was originally in a state of turmoil. The imperial concubine still wanted to disturb him like this, so he was in a bad mood, and said in a bad mood: "I ordered people not to disturb me. At that time, Concubine Shu was also there. Why don't you , Concubine Shu didn't tell you?"

While speaking, his eyes glanced at Cui Lianye.

Cui Lianye subconsciously said: "Returning to the mother, the concubine... the concubine said it."

After saying this, she regretted it again, because she was afraid that she would offend the imperial concubine by answering this way.

Although she didn't want to make the queen angry, but if she had to offend one of the queens and noble concubines, she would rather offend the queen.

Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang didn't mean to be angry, but nodded his head: "The empress doesn't have to doubt Concubine Shu. When the concubine came over, I asked her specifically, and she also said that at the beginning, it was indeed the empress herself. Do not disturb what you ordered. But you think, empress, concubine Shu was the first to arrive. Although she obeyed your order at that time, when the concubine and the others came, who knows if the empress has changed her mind? Besides, concubine just now The body also said that Niangniang had been ill several times earlier because of Uncle Zhaowu, and she could not have left some root causes, but now she is so prodded again, who knows what will happen if she is left alone?"

"Isn't this letting this lowly maid take a look at the current situation of the empress, so that Liugong can feel at ease?"

"Actually, even if these people don't mention the concubine's status, how can you rest assured that this lowly maidservant is the maidservant of the empress?"

"Who knows that she won't eat oil and salt, no matter how you look at it, it's suspicious!"

She pretended not to see the ugly face of the queen, and continued on her own, "Your Majesty, don't blame the concubine for being reckless. After all, you think, the reason why the regent's remnants were able to assassinate Uncle Zhaowu this time was not because Uncle Zhaowu felt that the other party Is it a subordinate, defenseless? Otherwise, with Uncle Zhaowu's skills, how could he be assassinated by a mere school lieutenant? This is why I thought about it, if the regent Yu Nie sincerely targeted Uncle Zhaowu's lineage, I would also lie in ambush in front of the empress. What should I do if I get an assassin? Therefore, when I just asked someone to knock on the door, I was very worried! I was afraid that after opening the door, I would see what happened to the empress."

"Seeing that the empress is safe and sound now, I finally let go of my heart!"

Gu Zhen's face was blue and white, and he wanted to get angry, but thinking about what the imperial concubine said, it was reasonable, if he scolded her, it would seem like he didn't know good people.

She took a deep breath and said: "I know your intentions, but my heart is in a mess now, you should go down first."

"Your Majesty, the concubine came here just because she was worried that you would get into trouble now." Originally, with the empress's attitude, all the concubines should resign tactfully.

But Yun Fenghuang didn't agree, she not only didn't leave, she even took two steps forward, picked a seat and sat down, took out the round fan from her sleeve and shook it lightly, and said in a slow voice, "There is no one who knows better than the concubine who has lost a loved one." It's so painful, when I was in grief back then, it was all thanks to the concubine to comfort me. Now, how can I let you stay alone?"

Gu Zhen was not originally a deep-rooted person in the palace, but he was forced to think too much in the palace for many years.

Hearing the words, he was a little skeptical.

Because she was going to comfort Yun Fenghuang sincerely at the beginning, and the imperial concubine had repeatedly expressed her gratitude at that time.

At this moment, I feel a little dazed, wondering if I have misunderstood the imperial concubine?

Perhaps in the heart of the imperial concubine, her actions...

Really good intentions?

There was no sound for a while.

Yun Fenghuang didn't care, and said calmly: "As the saying goes, people can't be resurrected after death, no matter how much we grieve here, it won't help...Even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the princes under your knees! Several princes You are still so young, and you still need to be taken care of by the empress. What if you teach them what to do if you have troubles? What's more, even if Uncle Zhaowu is in the spirit of the sky..."

Speaking of this, the queen finally came to her senses and said in amazement: "Who told you that my father has passed away?!"

Her own father is not dead yet! ! !

"..." Yun Fenghuang was also clearly startled, and immediately looked at Chen Jing.

Without further ado, Chen Jing knelt down and took the blame: "Returning to the imperial concubine and empress, Uncle Zhao Wu is indeed still alive, and it's because the slaves did not pass the word well, and the empress misunderstood!"

"You dog slave, you can make such a mistake by spreading a word!" Yun Fenghuang scolded angrily, "What use are you?! Get out with Ben Gong, and see how Ben Gong will deal with you later!"

Then he turned to the queen, "I'm sorry, empress, it's all concubine who has no way to control her. I didn't expect to make such a mistake. Please forgive me, empress!"

To be honest, Gu Zhen is very responsive, she is in the middle of her father's life and death anxiety, and some slaves made the noble concubine misunderstand that Uncle Zhao Wu is cold, isn't this intentional?

But after all, the imperial concubine's status is extraordinary, and she couldn't take advantage of the trouble, so she had to knock her teeth down and swallow: "It's just the servant's fault, how can I blame you? Well, you are also very busy, let's go back. "

"Your Majesty, since Uncle Zhaowu has not passed away, why do you suffer so much?" But the imperial concubine still refused to leave, not only did she not leave, she even waved her round fan and continued to persuade her earnestly, "Think about it, you are here It’s useless for Uncle Zhaowu’s injury if you don’t eat or drink and don’t see people here. It’s better to take care of yourself, and when Uncle Zhaowu knows about it later, he will feel refreshed, and maybe he can recover sooner.”

This day, under the pretense of being worried about the queen, Yun Fenghuang mumbled obstinately in the phoenix chariot for more than two hours before leaving with more than enough satisfaction.

Gu Zhen is simply...

However, she was still not sure what the noble concubine's intentions were, and when Yun Fenghuang left, she asked the left and right: "You said, is the noble concubine really afraid that I will be upset when I am alone, or did she come here intentionally to cause trouble for the palace?"

Looking at each other left and right, he also hesitated. After a while, the waiter whispered: "This... Your Majesty, the servant girl can't say it well. It's just that the process of Uncle's assassination reminds me of the time when you were alone. Don't let someone plan, the servant girl thinks, it's not unreasonable?"

After saying this, the companions frowned: What do you mean by this? Uncle Zhao Wu was assassinated by an assassin hidden among his subordinates, so could it be possible that he suspected that these servants would be detrimental to the Queen?

When is this, and if you want to engage in this kind of mutual suspicion, isn't it possible that the person talking is just an eyeliner planted somewhere?

"..." The queen was also speechless for a moment, before she said, "The words of the noble concubine seem reasonable, but don't forget what happened to Yi Shi before, maybe it's just an excuse to deliberately torment me."

She understood Yun Fenghuang's nature of revenge, she thought for a while and sighed, "This noble concubine is deep-minded and hard-hearted. Back then, I was so discordant with her in the palace. After hearing about Mrs. Xie, she even went to Huan Hua Dian comforted her. She is fine, Bengong is in this situation, why would she have the heart to entertain me?"

Shaking his head, Gu Zhen has no energy to start a conflict with the imperial concubine now, "Just call me sick tomorrow. If she wants to force her way in, I won't give her a good face."

She was negligent today, and she did not expect that Yun Fenghuang would not forget to take revenge at this time.

But Yun Fenghuang didn't come to see Gu Zhen again the next day, after all, the imperial concubine herself was tired of "enlightening" the queen.

Besides, Yun Fenghuang was satisfied when he heard that the queen was ill today.

After she was "comforted" by Gu Zhen, didn't she also get angry and became seriously ill when she turned around?

Tat for tat, she was happy knowing that the queen was not good.

So that day she went to the emperor's mansion to look for Chunjia, and she was very compassionate in front of the emperor: "I just heard this news, and my body felt a 'thump' in my heart. After all, I have personally experienced the pain of losing my life. Father's pain. I really didn't expect that Uncle Zhaowu would have such a thing at this moment, and I don't know how the empress will get through it? Yesterday, a concubine went to accompany the empress for a while, and saw that the empress was refreshed. Let’s go. I thought I could get through it, but now I’m sick again... Hey... This is still on the way, but what should I do?"

Chunjia is also having a headache about this at the moment, the main reason is that Uncle Zhao Wu was stabbed on the bone, but it is not easy to deal with it.

Originally, before the Marquis of Jingning went out to fight, the emperor almost had a plan for the rewards of the relevant soldiers and the follow-up arrangements for the entire family.

Although there have been some changes during this process, such as Ke Cong killing Ke Ding, the general direction does not need to be changed.

But no matter how exhaustive the emperor was, he never thought that after all this was over, Uncle Zhao Wu would be assassinated and his life was in danger!

It’s fine if Uncle Zhaowu survives, because there will be no wars around the border for a short time. In the emperor’s plan, he just took advantage of this reward to transfer Uncle Zhaowu back to the court, and gradually disintegrated his position in the Dingbei Army. Power and prestige, let the entire Gu family be a mascot descendant, the kind that can help the future prince, but can't turn the sky.

But if Uncle Zhaowu didn't make it through...

Although Gu's sons and heirs rebelled, after all, nothing happened. Uncle Zhaowu has been stationed in the border for many years, and he has worked hard without credit. He is gone, so he must give some affection.

In particular, it was the remnants of the Regent who assassinated Uncle Zhao Wu!

That's embarrassing.

Because the Prince Regent and his wife went there unexpectedly, Chunjia was quite surprised, so the whole attack of the Prince Regent, in fact, if it wasn’t for the palace change and urgently needed to take the blame, he could be like the two sons of the Prince Regent, There is a chance of a good death.

After all, the uncles and nephews of the Tian family have been torn up so many times, but they always maintain the attitude of "we are our own people" to the people of the world.

Except for the high-level, the outside world is not so clear about the contradictions between them.

Later, Gongxiang Ruoji and his stepwife passed away one after another, the emperor won before he even started, and his two cousins ​​were no match for him at all, let alone ambition, so Chunjia was naturally very happy.

On the contrary, Gong Xiangxiao and Gong Xiangzhen were very kind, and they readily conferred titles.

He even kept Gong Xiangzhen in front of him to take care of him.

...So officially, there is no remnant of the Regent.

When the palace changed, Gongxiang Ruoji’s remnant party was responsible for the blame. The reason was that they had been sowing discord between the Tian family’s uncles and nephews. They didn’t really avenge the regent. !

This time, the assassin announced his identity to the outside world, so he chose Hele to take the blame, saying that he colluded with Hele...

But the whole ins and outs, the people at the bottom don't know, but the higher-ups are very clear.

If Chunjia hadn't wavered in his determination to establish a son-in-law, it might even be a good thing that Uncle Zhaowu was gone.

After all, the emperor won't be able to use this general for a short time, and the death of this man will only make the emperor feel more at ease with his descendants.

However, now the emperor has changed his mind and wants to be a virtuous person. If the prince who is favored is not in front of the empress, the tenth prince, or the twelve prince, then...you can imagine what everyone will think of him.

They don't think that the emperor changed from Lidi to Lixian, they only think that Chunjia is still the same Chunjia.

At that time, he used the position of successor to fool Ouyang and other famous families, but later he used it to the fullest. He felt that since they were on board, they could not turn against him, so he turned around and named Gu Zhen as successor.

Now that the Gu family devoted themselves to him and died, Uncle Zhaowu paid his life for it as a price, but the emperor also immediately abandoned the Gu family that was no longer useful, and handed over the position of the East Palace to other princes...

this……

After all, Chunjia still has face.

To be precise, the emperor still wanted to win if he could win face.
