Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty Third Alert

That day Chunjia rested in the Huanhua Palace, and the next morning, when he went to court, Yun Fenghuang also got up, and after dressing up, he summoned Chen Jing and told him to go to Beidi to watch for some thanks. No dispute.

The last time Yun Fenghuang shared his doubts with the Qing people, Chen Jing was not there.

At this moment, I was shocked when I heard the words: "Your Majesty thinks that the son-in-law is...?"

"I also hope that I am thinking too much." Yun Fenghuang's face was a little pale, and he said softly, "But this is a big matter, and I can't allow myself to deceive others! After all, if I really underestimated the son-in-law, In the future, it will be fifteen years later..."

He glanced vaguely at the side hall where King Jin lives now, "It's hard to say who will be the one who promises everything at that time!"

Chen Jing suddenly became serious.

His master is the noble concubine. If the noble concubine is seized by Xie Wu, even if he becomes the empress dowager, how can he be the chief executive?

Now Qingci Palace also has a chief steward, so how can it compare with Yan Yin?

Moreover, as a servant who has met the Empress Yuan, he has also vaguely heard that the three generations of Phoenix Lords of the Ji family seem to be noble and extraordinary, and all of them can afford the bearing and ability that a queen should have. Except for the Queen Mother, from the commoner Ji Sheng to the Yuan Empress Ji Lingzi, they were all under the control of the family.

The right to speak is very restricted.

Chen Jing has enjoyed many unscrupulous benefits with the imperial concubine these years, how can he tolerate Xie Wuzheng coming out to pick peaches?

He took the order very solemnly at the moment, and promised to handle things properly...

It's just that Yun Fenghuang was not so relieved of his guarantee, and reminded: "Although my Xie family can't compare with the big families like Dijing, but in Huizhou, I am also a local snake in business for many years. The in-law relationship is intricate. They are all ears and eyesight! Even if the family is in danger now and the main branch is withered, but after many generations of accumulation, there is still some foundation. Furthermore, as the royal son-in-law, the status is noble, not only the survivors of the Xie family, but also good relations with in-laws. It will definitely open your eyes! Therefore, you must not take it lightly!"

Seeing the imperial concubine's instructions, Chen Jing dared not neglect: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants must act cautiously, and they will never be careless in their determination!"

After saying this, he hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice, "It's just, ma'am, if the son-in-law is unreliable... Then, the news from the son-in-law is usually reported by the son-in-law, this?"

"I know." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "I will deal with them one by one. Simply judging from the current situation, even if the son-in-law has evil intentions, he cannot do without my support right now, so he will definitely not stab Ben at this time." Gong Daozi..."

She pondered for a while, and then said, "Therefore, we must not leak the news, so as not to cause changes! Besides... These are just my suspicions, but it may not be that others deliberately sow discord, so that I will be suspicious of the son-in-law and lose this position in vain. assistant……"

After all, so far, although Xie Wuzheng cannot escape suspicion, there is no actual evidence to prove that he murdered his brother.

Calculating the time, how long has it been since the death of the Xie clan?

Even if Xie Wuzheng was influenced by his mother, he didn't have a good impression of Sifang, and he was merciless when he bullied Xie Xiaoyu, but he couldn't do the same to his own biological parents, siblings and nephews, right?

To put it bluntly, if Xie Wuzheng had the courage, he wouldn't need to kill his blood relatives. If he showed it directly, how could Yun Fenghuang support him with all his strength?

After all, who doesn't know that what Concubine Min lacks the most in the past two years is capable family members.

Even if Xie Wuzheng did not have Xie Xiaoyu's deep relationship with Yun Fenghuang, but the imperial concubine is not the kind of master who favors her brother indiscriminately, she would not be able to distinguish the seriousness, knowing that Xie Xiaoyu is not capable enough, and told him to always overwhelm Xie Wuzheng ?

Even if she has this selfishness, she doesn't have the ability to be so willful now.

Furthermore, considering his opponents, the Gu family has been a wealthy family for many years. Even if there are no successors, the elders who are in charge of the family have not withered away, so they cannot be regarded as a declining family immediately.

Old Mrs. Gu has targeted Xuanqing Palace and Yunfenghuang several times. To be honest, if Yunfenghuang's methods were worse, or if Chunjia was a little less biased, her life would definitely not be as easy as it is now.

Therefore, the Gu family deliberately targeted Xie Xiaoyu, so that the noble concubine would suspect Xie Wuzheng, causing the main bloodline of the Xie family to split, and even kill each other... It is not impossible.

She sent Chen Jing away, and after thinking for a moment, she called the Qing people to come to her, and discussed: "Of course, I hope that the son-in-law will have no problems, but now, even His Majesty suspects him, after all, we have to guard against it. Other things are still on the table." Forget it, he couldn’t figure it out when the trouble came out. But the key is a series of contacts from Qi Jiulu’s side, you must not teach His Majesty to know!”

The Qing people looked solemn: "What the empress said is true! It's just...the empress also said that the son-in-law may not have really harmed the eighteen sons. If all this was provoked by Gu, the son-in-law is innocent. If he finds out that the empress is suspicious of him , I'm afraid my heart will be filled with grudges?"

"I understand." Yun Fenghuang said with a gleam of coldness in his eyes, "In this way, although Mrs. Gu is looking at His Majesty's face, she calms down the matter. But she must still have the intention of getting rid of us and then be quick. Let's use Gu's name and say that in order to prevent Gu from taking advantage of it, we must destroy all traces of contact!"

"Your Majesty, the key point is the Qi Clan." The Qing man pondered for a while, and said, "This time, if the Patriarch of the Qi Clan didn't threaten you first, the son-in-law would not want to disturb you."

She said in a low voice, "This Patriarch of the Qi family can't stay anymore?"

"But how can we move them now?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head, "Let's not talk about what we want to do to Patriarch Qi, we must go through the son-in-law, otherwise there will be no suitable manpower. You know that the family is deeply rooted in the Northland Yes. The Qi family is not a family of orphans or widows! If traces are left at that time, the consequences will be disastrous!"

The Qing people suspected that she had feelings for Qi Jiulu after all, so they refused to touch the Patriarch of the Qi family.

Otherwise, according to the imperial concubine's temper, Zheng Shangchu and his ilk would have been forced to death, not one or two, would they care about the Patriarch of the Qi family?

But he didn't dare to say it out, so he just said euphemistically: "If that's the case, then on the side of Vice General Qi, will the empress say hello in person, so as to avoid similar situations from happening again?"

Qi Jiulu is the only one who can control the Patriarch of the Qi family and the entire Qi family.

Although people in the Qing Dynasty also knew that Qi Jiulu had a deep affection for Yun Fenghuang at one time, but now and then, when the two were serious and unmarried couples and childhood sweethearts, she still thought Qi Jiulu was very good.

Later, I learned that this person came to the Imperial Capital, and even secretly had a private meeting with the noble concubine. To be honest, I didn't like Qi Jiulu very much in my heart.

After all, this kind of behavior will bring huge risks and hidden dangers to the imperial concubine.

As the former servant of the imperial concubine's mother and the current confidant, the Qing people certainly would not consider Qi Jiulu's grievances and dangers. Anyway, she feels that this kid from the Qi family can't help the imperial concubine now, but puts the imperial concubine in danger. That's annoying.

So if it weren't for the fear of the imperial concubine, the Qing people really wanted to persuade Yun Fenghuang to get rid of it, and even kill Qi Jiulu together.

"Sure enough, no one is perfect." Reason told her to shut up, but she sighed secretly in her heart, "Even a smart person like the empress is soft-hearted. But it's okay to be soft-hearted for ordinary trivial things! Such a big matter, the empress is still like this." Remembering the past, it would be best if nothing happened in the future. What should we do if something goes wrong?"

Yun Fenghuang didn't know Qing people's thoughts. She didn't want to kill the Patriarch of the Qi family. She did have considerations for Qi Jiulu's face, but she was actually worried that the father and son were a trap and made more mistakes.

But he just wanted to erase all the proofs of the relationship between the two parties, so as not to be criticized for being flirtatious in the future.

After arranging this matter, she had the time to summon King Jin to her, and asked her son what he thought when he was in front of the imperial court: "Don't tell me that you were just hungry and just missed me! Your royal father knows you very well, let you get away with it!"

With a cold face, the noble concubine slapped the table with a ruler and shouted, "If you dare to lie a single word, I will teach you a lesson today!"

"...my boy...at that time..." King Jin looked at the ruler up and down in fear with a bitter face, and muttered, "my boy thought at that time...the father seemed to be thinking about my son on purpose, and my son thought, The royal father has a noble status and no one can persuade him, so what the imperial concubine mother said can make the imperial father listen. If not, I will remind the imperial father that the imperial concubine mother is still lying down. , bullying my son!"

Without saying a word, Yun Fenghuang raised his ruler.

King Jin was also short, without saying a word, and got under the table.

"Get out of this palace!" Yun Fenghuang was furious, and shouted while rolling up his sleeves, "Don't think that I can't do anything to you if you hide inside!"

"Mother Concubine, I heard that Xiaoshou is going away, and I am too young to bear your punishment." King Jin prostrated himself on the ground, trying to get into the corner, and said loudly, "Why don't Concubine Mother call Big Brother?" They came over and asked you to hit you twice to vent your anger? Brother, they are so filial, they will definitely agree!"

Yun Fenghuang slapped the table angrily, and said to the left and right: "Look at this bastard! King Qin and the others love him so much that he can say such a thing!"

The king of Jin had nothing to hide, so he curled up with his head in his arms, and said with a curl of his lips: "What the concubine mother said is wrong! It is because eldest brother and the others like my son, and they are willing to be punished for my son, so my son is willing to accept them as their substitute. Receive the punishment. Otherwise, if the eldest brother and the others don't like the son at all, but they still have to suffer for the son, wouldn't they hate the son and blame the mother and concubine? Like now, the eldest brother and they are willing to be beaten by you for the sake of the son. Then after the beating is over, wouldn’t it be good for everyone to remain a loving family? Doesn’t it mean that after the mother and concubine have punished the sons and ministers, it’s good for the brothers to become enemies?”

"Your Majesty, please calm down. His Royal Highness Jin Wang is young, so he has no sense of restraint in his words." Seeing Yun Fenghuang's gloomy face from left and right, he hurriedly persuaded him, "My Majesty, please don't argue with Your Highness..."

He urged the King of Jin to admit his mistake, "Look at you making your empress so angry! Hurry up and apologize to your empress!"

The king of Jin responded quickly: "Mother and concubine, calm down, all mistakes are the fault of my son! You must not be angry, otherwise, what will my son do in the future?"

"What will you do in the future? You have plenty of ideas in the future!" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "Don't you still have your elder brother and the others protecting you?"

"Brother, if they didn't have their mother and concubine, they wouldn't know how to live a long time ago, and they still protect their children, how could it be possible!" King Jin said without thinking, "Brother, they are not reliable at all!"

Yun Fenghuang was stunned by this son's shamelessness: "You just said that your elder brother likes you and is willing to be punished on your behalf!"

"That's right." King Jin murmured, "But usually I don't know, that day in my father's palace, Brother Ten and Eldest Sister almost got into a fight. The minister still has to rely on the concubine mother to succeed!"

"..." Yun Fenghuang frowned, thought for a while, but slowed down his tone, and said, "Oh? Why do you think so?"
