Chapter 43 General
Gu Zhen sighed, looked at the open space and no one around, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that you have forgotten Gu Shao's example?"
The confidant was stunned for a moment, then startled, and said: "Could it be that the empress suspects that Miss Jue, like Concubine Gu, doesn't like sisters well? She even disregards the overall situation for the sake of her own jealousy?"
"This child has been growing up in front of me for a few years, and I don't want her to be a bad person." Gu Zhen said with a heavy heart as he walked towards his residence, "But think about it carefully. I can't help but think about it: She doesn't want to send things to the Empress Dowager on behalf of Xiao Shi, and it's okay to behead the eleventh princess first and then play. Niece, Ben Gong can't turn her elbows outward... I don't care about this one. But the problem is, you said that she is such a smart and courageous child, what about Jing'er and Xiao Shi? Really don't know? Really didn't expect it?"
If he hadn't expected it, then why did Gu Jue try to eliminate this danger by himself before the noble concubine had time to make a move?
Even, even though it was the empress who proposed just now, she will use her tricks, and the instigator of scalding the eleventh emperor's daughter will be planted on the noble concubine's head... But this approach is just pushing the boat along with the current, and it is a person who would choose to blame the noble concubine at such a time, right? what!
How do you know that this is not what Gu Jue expected, or even designed by her from the beginning?
For such a smart niece, when Gu Jing accompanied the tenth prince to humiliate the King of Chu in private in order to please the tenth prince, she didn't think much about it, and she wasn't vigilant at all...
The queen really didn't believe it.
"Ms. Jue, Miss Jue is not very old. I didn't have any big grudges with Miss Jing before. Why are you so cruel?" My confidant thought about it for a while, and persuaded, "Maybe we are thinking too much. After all, Miss Jue just entered the palace. How old is it? It is not once or twice that the Tenth Prince went to look for His Highness the King of Chu in private... This His Highness's temperament, alas... And it is also possible that Miss Jue saw Miss Jing's example and became vigilant, so she prepared for a rainy day Woolen cloth?"
It's not that his confidant took some advantage of Gu Jue and kept helping to say good things, but that he didn't want Gu Jue to be such a person from the bottom of his heart.
Because Zhonggong has frequently fallen into a disadvantage in the past two years, the only bargaining chip that can compete with the imperial concubine now is righteousness.
Since the situation is already unfavorable, it is rare for a Gu Jue with a brain to come out. If he can help, it will be good news from heaven.
That……
The confidant's thoughts turned sharply, and he couldn't help but said again: "Although Miss Jue has deep thoughts, it is precisely because of her deep thoughts that she will not mess around. After all, as the daughter of the Gu family, if she wants to be good for herself, first of all you and Gu's needs to be good. Otherwise, she is alone, why is she so tall and beautiful like a fairy, is it useful?"
"If you think about it this way, at least for now, this child should not be detrimental to me and the Gu family." The queen nodded slightly, but the seriousness on her face did not decrease, and she said slowly, "But she can turn a blind eye to Jing'er's fate. Consciousness... I really can't trust her anymore."
"This is just your concubine's speculation, and it may not be true." The confidant said, "Judging from Miss Jue's words, there may not be no way to deal with His Highness the Tenth Prince and even the imperial concubine..."
"Xiao Shi is fine." The queen said, "As for the noble concubine...how old is she? How could she beat the noble concubine?"
Over the years, Gu Zhen has become a shadow of Yun Fenghuang.
I don't think my young niece can do anything to the imperial concubine at all.
The confidant doesn't think so: "How old do you think the imperial concubine was when she entered the palace? The waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead, Miss Jue may not be the opponent of the imperial concubine. Even, maybe this young lady was born to restrain the imperial concubine? Back when Concubine An was favored At that time, was it not that she was flamboyant and arrogant? But not long after the imperial concubine entered the palace, Concubine An was embarrassing one after another, and finally even the emperor's favorite was taken away by the imperial concubine... Madam, the imperial concubine is also approaching thirty this year Now, outside, you can still say that you are a young lady, but in the palace, once a fresh newcomer comes in, what is she?"
He whispered again, "Furthermore, the maid really couldn't imagine that Miss Jue had such a deep hatred with Miss Jing, so that Miss Jue would just watch Miss Jing die... Even if you have doubts in your heart, don't ask Miss Jue to notice it. Alright. Otherwise, if you make this young lady feel cold, wouldn't it cause a grudge between the flesh and blood?"
"There really isn't much grievance between the two children." The queen pondered, "Even after entering the palace, because of Jue'er's intentional avoidance, it sounded more harmonious than when they were at home. At that time, the palace also relaxed because of this." I didn't think much about it. But now that I think about it carefully, this matter is weird: you know, the two of them have never had a conflict, but their mother, the two sister-in-laws of Bengong, have a lot of grudges It's been a long time."
In fact, if we talk about the grievances between these two sister-in-laws specifically, it is not a big deal.
It's just some things like strong points between sisters-in-law. The key is to accumulate for many years, because the grievances caused by specific things are no longer important. Only by retaliating fiercely can a bad breath be released in his chest.
This kind of situation is actually not uncommon in the big family.
The seemingly friendly family on the outside always has a lot of grievances and hatreds that are inconvenient to talk about behind closed doors.
Even Gu Zhen chose this pair of cousins because of the conflict between their mothers.
In this way, even if the two girls are easy to get along with, the mother behind them will not allow them to be intimate, and will inevitably force them to compete, and even overwhelm each other... In this way, it is convenient for the queen to mediate, Take the initiative.
No matter how simple-minded Gu Zhen was when she was young, after staying in the palace for many years, it is impossible to say that she is not thoughtful at all, and she is also selfish now.
But at this moment, she realized that her original choice might not have been thoughtful enough.
She thought that the two sister-in-laws would at most persuade their daughters not to be really close sisters with each other's daughters, and even compete with each other, but she didn't expect that Gu Jue might, under the instigation and instigation of his own mother, let Cousin Gu Jing died, so that his own mother would win completely.
"I also hope that I think too much." Gu Zhen said with a heavy heart, "Why don't I want a smart niece who grows quickly? But it's a big matter, so let's take it slow."
She had to think carefully about how to face Gu Jue next.
No matter what the niece thinks, she is really smart... So, before she thinks about it, she should not tell Gu Jue too much, otherwise, as her confidant said, she didn't have to let the niece see the clues, and hurt her aunt and nephew for nothing mutual affection.
The queen calmed down, and took people to Xingxintang to "seek justice" for her niece.
But at this moment, in Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yun Fenghuang checked with his subordinates to confirm that the injury of the Eleventh Queen was not arranged by him. After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea, and said: " Either the empress suddenly became smart and ordered that Gu Jue to call out to catch the thief; or this Gu Jue, we all missed him, but he is a rare smart person."
A murderous look flashed in Chen Jing's eyes, and she said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want slaves...?"
He made a sharp gesture.
But Yun Fenghuang shook his head slightly: "In the deep palace, what are you thinking? This Gu Jue is not worthy of us making such a big noise."
After pondering for a while, he told the Qing people a few words, "That's it. Even if a little girl's film is a bit unexpected, can she make any troubles under Bengong's hands?"
She calmly ordered to leave, but not long after, someone came from the Xingxin Hall, saying that the empress was telling her to play with the emperor's female life and frame her own niece, so the emperor ordered someone to pass on the imperial concubine Go to Confrontation.
Hearing that Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion was extremely angry, the Qing people sneered and said: "This is still a dignified empress, and she doesn't have the air that the lord of the Sixth Palace should have! What's going on? She didn't know what was going on. How many? She actually managed to sue imperial court! If you really think that His Majesty is who, you won’t be aware of her slapstick behavior!"
It's no wonder, after all, following Yun Fenghuang, they have planted and framed others for many years and then asked the emperor to call the shots. When will it be their turn to be such a general?
Yun Fenghuang was not surprised, after all, the Eleventh Emperor's injury, whether it is big or small, the key depends on whether anyone makes a fuss about it.
This matter was not done by me, it was either an accident or it was done by the queen... The chance of an accident is extremely low, almost non-existent.
Mainly because it happened by coincidence.
Just when the imperial concubine was about to strike, Gu Jue was the first to have an accident. It was an accident that allowed the imperial concubine to come to question her. Before, Yun Fenghuang thought it was a good opportunity to make trouble, but now that she realized it, she didn't know what to do?
"Since His Majesty summoned me, of course I have to go to defend myself." Yun Fenghuang stopped the indignation from the left and right, stood up and said, "And wait for me to change clothes."
Changing into a bright dress, Yun Fenghuang led the people to Xingxintang.
At this time, the queen's master and servant had just finished crying, and they were drinking tea to recover their strength. When they saw the noble concubine coming, they immediately lowered their faces, and were about to continue posing as a victim, but Yun Fenghuang took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything about the eleventh princess, but I have been instructing Chen Jing and the others to try to drive Miss Gu Jue away from the Empress Dowager for the past two days!"
After listening to the previous words, the queen was still waiting for a factual and reasonable refutation, but when she heard the latter sentence, she was stunned.
She didn't react for a while, Chunjia frowned and didn't get angry, but asked lightly: "You have never had anything to do with this girl, why would you want to drive her out? This child seems to be worse than Xie Meng and the others." A few years younger, his cousin was in trouble, if he was also deported back to the mansion, one can imagine what will happen! You have never been such a cruel person."
As far as the previous words were concerned, although the queen was dissatisfied with his too peaceful tone, she also thought it was very reasonable to ask.
But this sentence "I've never been such a cruel person" really made Zhonggong laugh angrily.
It's just that what the emperor said was a matter of course, Yun Fenghuang also accepted it confidently, and said: "Speaking of this matter, the faces of the empress and Mrs. Gu are probably not good-looking."
She sighed, "In the final analysis, it is the reason why our little Qi is so outstanding... But your majesty knows that Xiao Qi's biological mother died young, but her grandfather and aunt are still alive. Two days before my concubine's birth, I made an agreement with Princess Yi to give Xiao Qi When Qi is looking for a concubine, he must ask her to help her. How can she become Miss Quan Jue at this moment? But the empress dowager is still ill, and she cannot do without Xiao Qi. Besides, Xiao Qi was brought up by a concubine Yes, even though this Miss Jue is young and pitiful, in my eyes, how can Xiao Qi matter? After thinking about it, I can only drive Miss Jue away to avoid side effects!"
"You're spitting blood!!!" Gu Zhen was furious and burst into flames, "Jue'er in this palace is the most pure and pure minded, how could she have thoughts that she shouldn't have towards the Seventh Prince?! You're nothing but nonsense! !!"
Did she just say, the imperial concubine admitted that she was doing something bad in private... When did Xiao Yun ever be so honest? !
The co-author is here waiting for her!
The imperial concubine kept saying that Gu Jue was young and pitiful, after all, he was not as important as the Seventh Prince. To the emperor, could it be that Gu Jue was more important than the Seventh Prince? !
The emperor thinks so deeply, so why would he mind the imperial concubine's plan to drive Gu Jue away?
