Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy Fifth

Chunjia murmured, as the courtiers speculated, this matter today has actually just begun, and he almost knows it in his heart.

It is also very clear that the old servant was arranged by Yun Fenghuang.

After all, Yin Qu just winked and asked the imperial servant to report the news, and he, who was sitting on the throne, saw it in his eyes.

To be honest, according to his heart, he didn't want to do anything to Xie Xiaoyu.

It's not that she wants to protect Xie Xiaoyu, but that she doesn't want the imperial concubine to be affected.

After all, without mentioning his love for the imperial concubine, just talking about the few princes under the imperial concubine's knees, maybe there are talents with outstanding qualifications suitable for the crown prince?

King Qin's pure filial piety may not be the first merit that Li Chu would consider first, but in Chunjia's impression, the seven princes, nine princes and fifteen princes are all intelligent and filial.

Filial piety alone is difficult to attract the attention of the emperor. After all, in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, it is a matter of course for his children to be filial to him.

But if filial piety is done on the premise of being smart, courageous, quick-witted and possessing the qualifications to become a virtuous monarch, then it is worth paying attention to.

Anyway, Chunjia doesn't have a good impression of the tenth prince now. After all, he was adopted by the queen when he landed. Gu Zhen has really loved him all these years, but in the end he still misses his biological mother... Chunjia didn't think that this son cared about his blood relatives, only that he ungrateful.

What are the ten princes without the queen?

The princes in the palace are all ranked sixteen. In terms of birth mother status, the fourth prince is much better than him. What is the result?

At such a young age, this child is not old enough to protect his biological mother, but he keeps trying to sideline Ping Xianyi. It's nothing more than deceiving Gu Zhen so he can talk.

For a more powerful aunt, even the Ping family can't afford to follow her around!

Chunjia now has a bad impression of the Tenth Prince, but she doesn't talk about it.

In short, the princes are still young, how could he let the potential East Palace Seed be dragged down by his unreliable uncle at a young age?

The problem is, at this moment, we can't make Gu's heart too cold.

After all, Gu Fangshu's bones were still cold.

Throughout the life of this military general, there are both merits and demerits, but no one is perfect, and everyone is gone, and the dead are more important.

The most important thing is that the assassins in the army who assassinated Gu Fangshu were playing under the guise of remnants of the regent king.

This is a tactful kidnapping of Chunjia: After all, everyone knows that Gu Fangshu was originally a loyal supporter of the regent, but was gradually drawn into the emperor's camp because the emperor made a deal with Mrs. Gu in private.

Think about it, a general, one can even be said to be a pillar figure on the Regent's side, turned to Chunjia at a critical moment, which can be said to have established the outcome of this royal uncle's dispute.

After all, if it wasn't for the Gu family's defection, the regent's methods would be inferior to Chunjia's. After all, the Dingbei army on the frontier is a sharp sword hanging above the emperor's head. Even when the time comes, it will not be Wei He who will be looted, but Guo Chao.

Even if Gu Fangshu's grandson was incited to openly rebel; even if Gu Fangshu's attitude was ambiguous and his position was unclear;

Now that there are no talents in the family, and the family's decline is imminent, the emperor's heels are pulling sideways for the brother who loves the concubine. Does this make the officials feel sad?

I feel that Chunjia is really mean and ungrateful. He deceived the Yin family back then, and now that the Gu family has been used up, it's their turn to hide everything?

It is true that there will be no major events in the country, and the emperor's throne is stable. If he does something unconscionable, no matter how sad and angry the courtiers are...

However, if possible, the emperor still has to face.

If it was Yun Fenghuang himself who was beaten to death for the crime, Chun Jia would still keep him alive with his eyes open and talking nonsense.

But after all, this is only the brother of the imperial concubine, and he is still a brother who does not live up to expectations...

The emperor thought it over again, and said slowly: "Xie Xiaoyu's servant has nothing to prove, not trustworthy. Come here, take both master and servant under arrest, and hand them over to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation!"

Without waiting for Old Master Gu to say anything else, Chunjia got up, "It's getting late, I'm a little tired, retreat!"

Old Master Gu's eyes darkened, he knew what the emperor meant, it was fine to kill Xie Xiaoyu, but if he wanted to burn the fire on the noble concubine, he couldn't!

But he is not someone from the Xie Jiang family. After all this trouble, he has humiliated his dead son. Is it just to avenge Xie Jiang's mother and son? !

It's just that the emperor left in a hurry. He wanted to chase after him, but someone pulled his sleeves and persuaded him in a low voice: "I have made up my mind today. Now that I'm gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything else today."

The emperor loves Concubine Min so much, if Concubine Min's external image is that kind of virtuous, virtuous and uncontested master, maybe he can try to expose her true colors, make the emperor very disappointed in her, and stop favoring Xuanqing palace.

But the problem is, this one has been good at fighting, sharp and strong, and ruthless from the beginning.

As far as the emperor's wisdom is concerned, how can he not know her true nature?

They pampered her and pampered her like this, it can be seen that it is meaningless to expose Concubine Min's true face.

Even the emperor will take the initiative to cover up the aftermath for her.

Therefore, if he wanted to deal with Concubine Min, it was very difficult to do anything wrong, because the emperor didn't care at all about this favorite concubine's ability to fight, be strong and cruel... If he cared, Concubine Min would not have been favored for so long.

In other words, if you want to deal with Concubine Min, you must crush her upright in terms of conspiracy and calculation.

Let the whole country think she deserves to die, and make Chunjia unable to continue to protect her.

Otherwise, Yun Fenghuang would not only deal with it lightly, but the emperor couldn't wait to believe her.

And Chunjia, who was being slandered, retreated to the back hall, her face darkened instantly, and before she could change her clothes, she ordered Yanyin: "Go and explain to Xie Xiaoyu, an unfamiliar servant, he doesn't live up to himself, don't delay the noble concubine." How many girls!"

The emperor gave the oral order, so the people below naturally dare not neglect.

Xie Xiaoyu originally thought that she would die, but because of the arrival of the old servant, she felt hopeful.

Who knows, it didn't take long for this hope to appear, and it was declared shattered again...

He wasn't a very determined person in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have killed his childhood sweetheart's wife and his own flesh and blood just because he was teased, and his mentality suddenly collapsed at this moment: "Whose idea is this?! Is it what the imperial concubine meant?! I don't believe it! You let the imperial concubine come here in person, otherwise I will never do it!"

The waiter of Taichu Palace who was dressed in disguise was originally polite, but when he saw this situation, his face suddenly darkened, and he said in a sharp voice: "Master Xie, did you think that our family is discussing with you? That would be a mistake! We I was ordered to deliver a message, and I came to give you instructions! If you listen, you can still be decent, if you don’t listen..."

He winked, and someone from the left and right stepped forward, bowed and said, "Even though the father-in-law tells you, I will definitely obey!"

"Master Xie refuses to be decent, so there is nothing our family can do." The servant said indifferently, "In this case, you can serve Master Xie for a while!"

That night Xie Xiaoyu "committed suicide" in prison, Chunjia ordered Dali Temple to hold down the news for the time being and not to spread it, and led Yanyin to report the matter to Yunfenghuang.

Yan Yin sighed and said: "Actually, His Majesty retreated hastily at that time, and originally intended to protect him. Who knew that Mr. Xie was so anxious... He couldn't wait for His Majesty to come up with a solution! It's just that His Majesty said that he died like this, maybe he thought it was justified. Being able to get rid of the empress, it seems that she committed suicide in fear of crime! If there is no proof of death, wouldn't the empress be put at a disadvantage even more?"

Yun Fenghuang thanked her with tears, and said: "How can I not know of your majesty's kindness? Besides, with your majesty's wisdom, how can I not know what's going on? Gong stays respectable, I don't want Brother Eighteen to be exposed for more embarrassment! This matter is all due to Xie's incompetence in teaching his son, I blame this Palace for not being able to detect Eighteen Brother's confusion in time, and also blame those who have bad intentions The person who tempted him to murder his wife can't blame His Majesty."

She is telling the truth, although Xie Xiaoyu is her own brother, and the only surviving brother after Xie's death, but it's fine for him to harm other people, what is the concept of having a wife and children?

When Yun Fenghuang first entered the palace, she was full of arrogance, and it was not that she had never thought of using the family, but she had never thought of deliberately arranging the death of her close blood relatives to benefit herself!

Even for a brother like Xie Xiaoyu, what kind of qualifications and demeanor does she have in mind?

The same support, for Wang Linglai and the like, since it has seen results, she must be willing to be loyal to her... But she still favors her brothers, why is that? Apart from thinking that brothers are more reliable, don't you think about blood and family? !

In the final analysis, although Yun Fenghuang had some grudges against the family because of Xie Fenghuan's experience after the accident, and later because of some actions of Xie's children fighting for benefits, he looked down on his blood brothers, but as Xie's The most beloved first daughter of this generation. The childhood and teenage years she spent in the Xie family were very high-spirited.

After all, she has a lot of affection for Mrs. Xie.

Especially Xie Xiaoyu, who is a brother and has the best relationship.

This feeling, to a certain extent, blinded her judgment.

If Xie Xiaoyu hadn't been her brother who grew up with her and shared a teacher, when Xie Jiang's suddenly died of dystocia and his child disappeared, she might have been suspicious.

After all, as Old Master Gu said in the court, Xie Jiang's health is very good, her parents and relatives are all prosperous children, there is no example of dystocia, and their children are also strong and lovely, as far as her own body and bones are recognized by people who have experienced it Yizi, and the kind of stature that is not prone to dystocia.

Otherwise, with Jiang's personality, how could he tell her to his youngest son?

As for Xie Jiang's pregnancy, she did not hear anything bad. Even the imperial physician sent by Yun Fenghuang at that time said that her fetal image was stable and she was full of energy, so she would be able to conceive Xie's son smoothly.

Under such circumstances, Xie Jiang's full-term birth was difficult, and it could be said that his life was not good, and he was in the situation of Concubine Wen Huixian.

But since the baby was born, it was fine the day before, but not the day after, so...? ? ?

Just because Xie Xiaoyu was her own brother, she subconsciously wouldn't think of him in a bad way, especially in a crazy direction.

So when he heard the bad news, Yun Fenghuang suspected that his enemy was murdering him, that Xie Jiang's mother and son were unlucky, and also suspected various other circumstances, but for Xie Xiaoyu, he only had sympathy and pity.

I sympathize with this brother, and within a few years of marriage with his childhood sweetheart, his wife, who was supposed to welcome the eldest son, when the whole family was living with Lele, they encountered the tragic news of the successive deaths of mother and son... What is this? blow?

Thinking about it now, Yun Fenghuang only finds it ironic.

Especially, when I think of the time when my aunt Xie came to talk about Cui's daughter, the aunt and nephew had a serious discussion for a long time, how to persuade Xie Xiaoyu to agree to this marriage, instead of continuing to wallow in the sorrow of Xie Jiang's mother and son's departure?

Presumably at that time, Xie Xiaoyu was probably more anxious than them, because he was afraid that Yun Fenghuang would be too considerate and let him continue to be a widower, and miss the marriage he had dreamed of?

With tears streaming down his face, Yun Fenghuang sent Yan Yin away with sobs, but he didn't care to burst into tears, and told Chen Jing in a crying voice, "You go out quickly through the corner gate!"

Xie Xiaoyu is dead!

Even though as his own younger sister, after knowing what he did, Yun Fenghuang had to say, this bastard deserves to die!

But, if he was alive, she couldn't really execute him after all.

Now that he is done with himself, as his blood-related younger sister, Yun Fenghuang still feels grief from the bottom of his heart.

But she knew better that it was not the time for her to vent.

She had to take advantage of the little time the emperor bought for her and use Xie Xiaoyu's death to turn things around to her advantage!
