Chapter 50 Jade Mountain

After a long while, in the Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion after the venue was cleared, the Seventh Prince considered his words and asked tentatively, "Mother and Concubine, don't be too sad when you mention this matter?"

Ben Gong is sad?

What is this palace sad about?

Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned, and she immediately thought of the destruction of Huizhou City, and even thought of the Jiang family whose whereabouts are still unknown, her chest twitched, but her face calmed down, and she said slowly: "Just say it, why? In front of the mother and concubine, do you still have to hide it?"

"Yes." The Seventh Prince swallowed, calmed down, and then whispered, "Mother Concubine, do you still remember...remember the death of Cousin Yushan?"

You said this?

Yun Fenghuang immediately relaxed, thinking that this child is not his own after all, it has been so many years, how come he still doesn't understand himself?

How could she be sad about Yushan?

Still too sad?

That's not her child.

I didn't even meet him a few times before I was alive, so how much emotion can I have?

But after thinking about it, this is also a good thing. It's better to be considered soft-hearted by the adopted son than to be considered cruel...

"Of course I remember." Yun Fenghuang quickly expressed regret mixed with sadness, and sighed softly, "Your father and emperor have only three siblings, and your Aunt Suian has nothing to do so far, and Aunt Minghui was also empty under her knees at the time. Yunan also gave birth to Yunshan and Jinxi. Although they are both girls, the royal family is still very happy. Your father even made them princesses, and the treatment is not inferior to the princess... Then At the moment, the concubine mother is quite envious of your Aunt Yun'an in private, after all, Yushan grew up a little bit when she was a child, she is really cute..."

She vividly remembered Princess Yushan for a while, and then asked a little nervously, "What? Could it be that your ninth brother's matter has something to do with this?"

"Third brother has such doubts." The seventh prince nodded heavily, and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but third brother showed me a lot of evidence in the case files... I originally planned to come back immediately to report to my concubine, but The third brother said that he relied on these things to obtain the approval of his father, and then seek a better title when he became king. If the son-in-law told the mother and concubine first and delayed his affairs, then he would rather Destroy those things quickly!"

Yun Fenghuang pondered and said: "This is strange. Since he didn't want Ben Gong to know, why did he call you over? Could it be that he really just went with you to find Xiao Jiu? But, you didn't find it, right?"

The seventh prince said: "My son also felt strange at the time. The third brother explained that he was never loved by the emperor, and he was worried that even if he did this, he would not be able to get the emperor's favor. Moreover, he was indeed afraid of the empress Under too much pressure, so I asked Erchen to be a personal certificate, sell personal favors and Xuanqing Palace, so that the mother and concubine should not continue to suspect that the mother is the first, and the second is to hope that the son will tell the mother and concubine after the fact, please mother The concubine has a good word for him."

"The third is that the third brother said that the person who directly murdered Yushan at that time was an old man who had served Aunt Yun'an for many years. He was worried that there were still remnants of the real murderer in the palace. Ninth brother brings danger."

The Seventh Prince frowned slightly, "That's why I didn't ask anyone to leave a message."

Sure enough, those who have mixed with Gongxiang Bing are not good things...

This kid also wants to deceive me?

Yun Fenghuang said slightly: "But have you ever thought about it, that third brother of yours is not on the same side as us, and has always had grievances and grudges. Although this grievance is not very deep, it is nothing more than the spirit of some children's families. , but your third elder brother, isn’t he just a half-grown child? If that’s the case, he must take it to heart. In this case, if your eldest brother and ninth younger brother have an accident, even if he feels sorry for your mother, he won’t help you It’s good to add insult to injury, let alone take the initiative to help? Don’t forget, even though the concubine mother suspects your mother, after a quarrel in Xingxintang, it’s still nothing!”

"But counting the time, when your third brother called you away, the result of this matter hasn't come out yet?"

"Then why is your third brother so sure that your mother needs his help?"

"Furthermore, the case files and certificates were all given to you by your third brother. Who knows if they are true or not?"

"What if he deliberately lied to you, and even wanted to abduct you out of the palace and kill you? You child, you are usually said to be clever, why did you become confused when you met your third brother?"

When she said this, she couldn't help sighing, "It's also my fault, I've been busy with this and that these days, and neglected you!"

The Seventh Prince quickly denied it, saying: "I don't feel neglected, the mother and concubine always take good care of my son."

After saying this, he hesitated for a while, but he still hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang didn't press him anymore, but said with distress: "Forget it, look at you, hurry up and wash up and rest. If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow, it's the same."

So he forced the seventh prince to leave, then turned cold and ordered, "Go and invite the third prince."

Say yes, but actually call me.

Originally, she was not the one who raised the third prince, but now that Gongxiang Bingdu has been moved to Qiongjiu Palace for two years, it is supposed to avoid suspicion and it is not easy to meet face to face.

But noble concubines have always been strong, and when she entered the palace, the third prince had not yet been born, so she was not as taboo as young concubines like Jing Jieyu.

In short, Chen Jing quickly brought the third prince over.

Like the seventh prince, he obviously went to the queen to answer the question right after he returned to the palace.

The empress was soft-hearted and didn't ask any questions at all, so she asked someone to send him back to clean up. Originally, he wanted to let the son have a good rest, but the third prince had just come out of the bath, before he had time to eat, he was blocked by the people from Xuanqing Palace, who forcibly "invited" him over.

Yun Fenghuang coaxed the Seventh Prince, after all, she was the adopted son who raised her with one hand, and her natal family was of great use to her.

He didn't have much patience with the third prince, he didn't even give him a cup of tea, and asked directly: "What did you say to trick my little Qi into following you without leaving a message?"

"Back to your mother and concubine, I have never lied to my seventh brother." The third prince said neither humble nor overbearing, "I am just telling the truth."

Yun Fenghuang smiled, did not argue with him, and said: "What the hell did you say? Don't play tricks with me. I am not your mother, so I am not easy to fool."

She said lightly, "Xiao Qi said, are you working so hard for the next matter of becoming a king? I can't do anything else. If you are not satisfied with this palace today, I can ask His Majesty to seal you This is the worst place to stay, but it's easy, if you don't believe me, give it a try?"

"Everyone knows the favor of the noble mother and concubine, so how dare I?" The third prince said calmly, "Actually, the reason why I was able to persuade the seventh younger brother to go out with me without leaving a message is mainly because The seventh brother believes that the son-in-law has found clues to the death of cousin Yushan, and this matter has a lot to do with the assassination of the eldest brother and the ninth brother... And, the real murderer behind the scenes is very cunning, and will not easily reveal his traces, unless he lures the snake out of the hole..."

"Xiao Qi went out with you, thinking he was a bait?!" Yun Fenghuang was stunned, and his face darkened, "You bastard! You are looking for death, just go by yourself, how dare you drag my Xiao Qi?!"

The third prince was stunned when he heard the words, and said: "It turns out that the noble mother and concubine really believe that the clues in my son's hand are true?"

"What does this have to do with your clues?" Yun Fenghuang said with a sneer, "You are not loved by His Majesty, Xiaoqi in this Palace is favored by many people, even if you are also in His Majesty's blood, you are worthy Than? You can do things like bait yourself if you want to do it yourself. It’s not good to pull on anyone, but to pull on the child in front of this palace?! You’ve spent these years in this palace in vain, don’t you know? Gui, the imperial heirs in front of this palace, regardless of male or female, have always been nobler than you people? How dare you let Xiao Qi do such a dangerous thing!? Even if you pretend that there is no such thing, it’s just a lie Xiao Qi went out for a walk... Based on this behavior alone, if I let you go, I would be this imperial concubine in vain!"

The third prince heard her outburst, but his face was expressionless, and he said in a low voice: "Mother and concubine's love for the offspring, of course, the sixth palace sees it in the eyes. The mother and concubine's favor, even the queen mother has to Naturally, the son-in-law would not be ignorant of retreating far away. Since he dared to take the seventh brother out with him, of course he has something to rely on."

He raised his head, stared at the noble concubine, and said slowly, "What my son told the seventh brother is probably true."

"It's a pity that the real culprit behind the scenes is gone, or the news is not so well-informed, or he was caught up in the matter and couldn't free his hand. Erchen and the seventh younger brother came and went, but they didn't encounter any danger."

Yun Fenghuang frowned, what she said just now, actually had other intentions, she just hoped to annoy the Third Prince so that she could find his flaws.

But what I didn't expect was that although this Gongxiang Bing was young, he was very good at nourishing Qi, so he remained calm.

No, children at such a young age should not have the so-called energy-raising skills, but have been used to being neglected since they were young, and they have long been used to it.

"Sure enough, I was born in sorrow and died in peace!" The imperial concubine sighed in her heart, "Your Majesty's composure seems to have been tempered in this way. If this Gongxiang Bing hadn't had a biological mother holding him back, His Majesty would have Will pay close attention to him."

This is to raise him in front of the queen, of course Yun Fenghuang doesn't like him from left to right.

If it was the child in front of her, she must have raised it well.

When preparing for the failure of one's own son, one should have an adopted son to guarantee one's income, so as not to spend years of hard work on the waste of one's own son, and make it easier for others to live in the Qingci Palace.

Turning his mind, Yun Fenghuang immediately cleared up his emotions, and seriously discussed with the third prince: "I heard that you invited yourself to Dali Temple, and then started to look through the old cases. It seemed that you were looking for some cases. How could it be About Yushan? But I remember that Dali Temple didn’t actually do anything about Yushan, right?”

After all, the identity of Princess Yushan must be heard by Datian.

At first, Chunjia personally asked about this matter.

Even though Dali Temple has archives, no one thought of this when they heard that the third prince was trying to solve the old case.

Because at that time, whether it was Dali Temple or the Imperial City Secretary, after searching, they found nothing.

In the end, the royal family urgently found a reason to prevaricate it in order to save face...

Unexpectedly, the third prince would start with this matter.

Yun Fenghuang said in his heart that the Ji family's illustrious dynasties are really not for nothing, and this method of cultivating children, even if it is privately guided, has its own unique features.

Princess Yushan is Xiaozong's granddaughter, Chunjia didn't find out who did the murder, if the third prince finds out...

As long as it spreads, you will know that even if the emperor has prejudice against him, he must be treated and rewarded due to public opinion.

Not to mention, this move would also make the Yun'an couple owe him a big favor.

It must be known that as far as the emperor is now in power, there are very few people and things that can make him change his mind or make a retreat.

Such as Concubine Min and the Empress Dowager, those are not something that the Third Prince can control.

In addition, Xiaozong's own flesh and blood... But Ming Huiyun'an and Sui'an have nothing to do with the emperor's heirs. These three aunts are treated with great courtesy and have a good life. An unfavorable prince.

The truth about the death of Princess Yushan is a very suitable stepping stone.

Although at most the third prince could receive some attention and some rewards, he couldn't even be allowed to have the same starting line as the other princes.

But it is also a great improvement.

After all, Chunjia's attitude in the past years was very clear: the two princes of Ji's blood, for the sake of his own flesh and blood, were brought up in a normal way, and sent out as remote feudal lords. That's it.

As for ordinary princes seeking wealth and fiefdoms, coming back for small gatherings during festivals, and even the most basic power: competing for the prince.

The second and third princes were excluded from the beginning.

The noble concubine was pondering, and then the third prince said slowly: "At that time, the emperor personally supervised the matter, and the Imperial City Secretary, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple did not dare to neglect it. In the end, the result was nothing, but the Dali Temple still recorded the whole story in detail. After my son entered Dali Temple, I called it out and read it. The imperial concubine must have heard some gossip at that time. She said that this matter may have something to do with Shenzong's time. From this, my son started to look up countless files from Shizong. ..."
