Chapter 81 Young Phoenix and Old Phoenix

At the beginning, the imperial concubine gave orders in a rage, but Qian's mother and daughter were urged to go to Shanyuan temple to "practice" without any delay.

Therefore, he didn't even meet the beautiful maidservant given by Yuci.

Now seeing the two young women, good-looking and unfamiliar faces, they must be vixens specially arranged by the imperial concubine.

Qian's heart was annoyed, but seeing her husband's expression was calm, he didn't know what the status of these people was in his mind, if Du Langu had already sympathized with her, wouldn't it be a chance for the lowly maid to win sympathy when she got angry?

She held back her anger and talked with the father and son for a while, she ran out of excuses and went inside to have a rest, then ordered someone to call her confidant to come to understand the situation.

Not to mention the simmering house fights in the back residence of the Du family, in the palace, the empress also received news: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has allowed the mother and daughter of the Qian family to come out of Shanyuan Temple."

The queen didn't take it seriously at first: "Really? Although Mrs. Qian has no way to teach her daughters, what do children know in the final analysis? Mrs. Xiaoyun was born in a humble family, so she is narrow-minded. The mother and daughter of Mrs. Qian bumped into her. Li is also suffering."

After gloating for a few words, I remembered to ask, "Why does the imperial concubine remember how many mothers and daughters are here? Could it be someone who helped to say it?"

"Returning to the empress, I heard that something happened to Shanyuan Guan." The servants whispered, "A little Taoist girl who often communicated with Qian's mother and daughter drowned, and something happened to her teacher immediately. The imperial concubine got a report , and then let Qian's mother and daughter go back."

Gu Zhen frowned: "Do you know how that little nun died?"

"I don't know what you said when I returned to your mother." The servant said dully, "It seems that I accidentally slipped and fell in..."

"Then how long has the little nun been in Shanyuan?"

The person below said: "It is said that it was bought when I was young."

"Then how could you accidentally slip and fall in?" The queen said lightly, "Furthermore, if it is really a coincidence, the noble concubine kindly let Qian's mother and daughter leave the Taoist temple? Doesn't it have something to do with Xuanqing Palace? check."

She just gave the order, and it happened that Gu Jue came to say hello... Gu Jue stayed right after the Wen Hui was over.

Now he lives in the wing room of Woxia Building.

After seeing the ceremony, Gu Jue asked, "Auntie, just now I saw the palace servants hurrying away, but what happened?"

Because the queen was seized by this niece, the queen has always treated her like a nose is not a nose, and eyes are not eyes. Hearing the words, she said calmly: "Nothing happened. In the palace, is this palace still Can I tell you?"

"Of course my niece doesn't dare." Gu Jue sighed, "It's just that my niece also wants to share her worries for my aunt at this critical time."

The queen said coldly: "I don't need you to worry about it!"

If it weren't for this niece, she would be living a more comfortable life.

In fact, Gu Zhen didn't know in his heart that this niece was indeed better than him and had a city mansion. If it was Yunfenghuang back then, and it was Gu Jue who met, it would be a question of whether it would be so smooth to this day.

But the problem is how much anger and humiliation she endured for her family's ups and downs, life and death in this palace... Most of her life has been confessed in this deep palace, and she has been exhausted to maintain the situation. As a result, the family listened to Gu Jue's few words, So they decided to support Gu Jue instead... From the perspective of interests, maybe they are right.

But from an emotional point of view, even if Gu Zhen was planning for the family early in the morning, he really couldn't swallow this tone for a while!

"Auntie, why is this so?" Gu Jue actually knew the aunt's grievances, but she felt that now is not the time to be angry, "My Gu family has reached this point, if the prince under your knees can't get that seat, no one can get it Good! Finding a way to win is the most important thing now, and other accounts, can't we settle them slowly at that time?"

Gu Zhen sneered and said: "You speak as if you are sure to win! Is your title as a concubine a bragging rights, or do you think you are the only one who is the smartest in the front and back palace?!"

She reprimanded Gu Jue unceremoniously, and finally sent him away without saying anything.

Gu Jue left the main hall and turned to look for Gu Zhen's close servants. These waiters have been caught between aunts and nephews for the past two days.

On the one hand, they have served Gu Zhen for many years, and they are with Gu Zhen both emotionally and in terms of interests; on the other hand, they also know that Gu Zhen is not good at planning. Miss Jue is young, but she is very organized when it comes to things. There is also the endorsement of Mrs. Gu, which is worthy of trust.

Seeing that Gu Jue came to ask about things at this moment, it was obvious that she had run into trouble with the queen, so she sighed and said, "Your Majesty has been in a bad mood for the past two days, Miss Jue should not take it to heart."

"What did my sister say? It turned out that I was young, and my words were inappropriate that day, which made my aunt angry. My aunt didn't kick me out, she already hurt me." Gu Jue said lightly, "It's a little embarrassing at the moment, but it's also If you care about me, you only care about me. Otherwise, as an aunt, if you don't like to see me, how can I have the right to see you?"

Seeing that she was sensible, the servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Miss Jue is filial and sensible, the empress will always know."

That's why I told her about the Shanyuan Temple, "Your Majesty is now asking someone to investigate the death of the little Taoist girl's teacher and apprentice to see if it has something to do with the noble concubine... In fact, most of them did, otherwise why would the noble concubine let Qian's mother and daughter Leave overnight?"

Gu Jue pondered for a while, then said slowly: "The imperial concubine is so pampered, let alone such a thing, she will definitely not do it herself. At that time, even if the evidence is solid, at most two men will be thrown out to top the tank. In this kind of thing It’s really meaningless to spend effort on it.”

"...But you can't just do nothing?" The valet, who had been "spent on similar things" for the past two years, was a little anxious, and subconsciously explained.

"Sister, do you still remember what she told me before, when the imperial concubine first entered the palace and murdered the sixth palace?" Gu Jue sighed deeply, and said, "I have concluded that when the imperial concubine took refuge in the Yuan empress, she targeted people whom the empress did not like. , she made up accusations, and didn't care about the true or false. For example, for Concubine An, the Empress Yuan also wanted to deal with Concubine An anyway, so even if she knew that the concubine was messing around, she would pretend not to know, and help the concubine to suppress Concubine An... …At this time, as long as there is a pretense, the truth is not important at all.”

"Based on this alone, the Empress Yuan will always use her."

"After all, who would reject a subordinate who sees the sky and vents his anger?"

"It's just that the imperial concubine is ambitious, and she doesn't satisfy the support of the Empress Yuan."

"My sister once said that the imperial concubine was an unconventional concubine at the beginning, and the inside story said that she was killed by the first cousin of the Empress Yuan...but it seems that the imperial concubine herself called out to catch the thief."

"Actually, our current situation is very similar to the imperial concubine's back then."

"Empress Yuan will definitely not wrong her own cousin, not to mention that the biological mother of the second prince and third prince may not have done this thing at the beginning, even if she did, if Empress Yuan could make the decision, would she still take her own cousin for the sake of the noble concubine? Is my sister going to have a knife?"

"It's just that the timing of the imperial concubine's pinching is just right, so that the Empress Yuan couldn't protect her cousin."

"As far as the imperial concubine is favored by His Majesty, no matter how much we criticize her...unless we get ironclad evidence that she cheated on her, confused the royal blood, and conspired against her, otherwise it would be impossible for ordinary people to take bribes, pervert the law, murder and set fire to murder concubines." Nothing to do with her."

"Because even if she is pushed into a corner, as long as His Majesty softens and the Son of Heaven personally strikes, can we resist it?"

"So it doesn't matter if you don't look for this kind of trouble, if you want to look for it, you should go to the other party's weakness."

"May I ask if the imperial concubine found some innocuous reasons to target the sisters of the Empress Yuan, would the concubine Feng have her share?!"

The attendant hesitated for a while, then whispered: "What does Miss Jue think, what should we do?"

Gu Jue said lightly: "Shanyuan Temple is just a Taoist temple, even if it is closely related to the Empress Dowager and the common man Ji Sheng, it has no friendship with His Majesty after all. Slowly speaking, if a pair of master and apprentice died in it, even if everyone died , Could it be that His Majesty wants to embarrass the imperial concubine for some irrelevant people?! But the Qian mother and daughter are different."

She said coldly, "No matter how you say it, the mother and daughter of the Qian family are the family members of the imperial court officials! Especially Du Langu, who is the confidant of His Majesty's direct line, and has a straightforward personality. It's still not considered close... If his wife and daughter are wronged, and he has a lot to do with the imperial concubine, what will he do?"

The servant was a little hesitant: "Qian Shi has a royal seal, but he is looking for an unusual woman..."

"What was Ji Muzi's status back then?" Gu Jue looked at her, "Has the imperial concubine ever softened her hand? If she hadn't gambled that time, how could she be where she is today? Sister, what we are fighting for now is not three melons and two dates, but This will be the master of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the future! If even the Qian family dare not make a move, then don't mention the others."

...Two days later, Yun Fenghuang was staring at King Jin doing his homework, when a waiter came to Xingxintang and asked her to come and talk.

"What's the matter?" The concubine asked casually.

The waiter smiled apologetically: "I don't know, it seems that someone from outside has reported something. It's just that the servant is not serving inside, so I beg your empress to forgive me."

Yun Fenghuang didn't take it seriously, and after giving Jin Wang a few words, he went to Xingxin Hall in a chariot.

When he entered, he saw Chunjia sitting behind the imperial case, his brows were slightly frowned, and Du Langu with a haggard expression was kneeling underneath.

"Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang saluted, looked at Du Langu in surprise, and said, "May I ask Your Majesty why he summoned my concubine?"

Chunjia glanced at Du Langu, and said: "The noble concubine has arrived, you should just get up and talk. This is a big matter, I will definitely not take sides."

With this promise, Du Langu got up just now, took a deep look at Yun Fenghuang, and said in a deep voice: "The ministers, wives and daughters all passed away yesterday."

"What?" Yun Fenghuang was really taken aback, and immediately asked, "How did you die?"

"It was done by the person I rewarded." Chunjia took over the conversation and sighed, "I have asked the Secretary of the Imperial City to see it."

Yun Fenghuang's complexion changed slightly, saying that he was the one who was rewarded by the emperor...

But at that time the emperor was just a name, in fact, the four palace servants were all from the Xuanqing Palace, Yun Fenghuang specially picked them out and gave them some pointers, and sent them to the disgusting Qian mother and daughter in the Du Mansion!

At this moment, they actually murdered Qian's mother and daughter, this...

It's no wonder that Du Langu knelt here to demand justice from the emperor.

If Yun Fenghuang hadn't known about her family affairs, she would have suspected that she did it.

Is this what the queen did? She thought, but the queen doesn't seem to have the brain and reaction?

No matter, Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the maids who were rewarded that day were selected by my concubine. From the beginning to the end of my concubine's life, I told them to serve Lord Du attentively after they arrived in Du's mansion. There are no other instructions! Moreover, although the mother and daughter of the Qian family have something that offends the concubine, they have practiced in Shanyuan Temple for many days, and the concubine has already calmed down. Even, two days ago, a special person was sent to inform them that they can go back home! It can be seen that the concubine no longer cares about this matter, since this is the case, why continue to target them? Let alone laying such a murderous hand?"

"This must have been deliberately planted!"

"Just like what happened to the King of Qin earlier!"
