Chapter 99 Misleading Techniques
"The most important thing is, why is it only aimed at Xincheng's fate as an heir, and not others?" Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "If you want to murder Xincheng's life, I can understand it, after all, when Xincheng was registered as the princess Many people disapprove of it. But... to put it bluntly, even if the person behind the scenes gets his hands, Xincheng will really be unable to give birth, and she will still have a lot of dowry! When the time comes, the dowry will give birth to children, and it must be remembered in her under the name."
"I just thought about it, but I really can't figure out what's going on?!"
"If Xincheng hadn't entered the palace at a young age, I would have grown up in front of my concubine. I know the nature of this child very well, and I also know that she has never done anything wrong to others. I would almost doubt whether this child is secretly with her. People have a grievance, so they incur revenge?"
"Aunt!" Xie Kuo hurriedly stood up and bowed down, "Aunt Mingjian, Xincheng grew up in the palace, because he knew his identity, he seldom went in and out, usually only with Zhaoqing, the second emperor and sister Meng'er, others, I have hardly seen it before! But where is there any grievance? Our sisters are the best!"
Yun Fenghuang's face was sullen, and he nodded slightly, indicating that what he said was right.
Of course Chunjia believed in their aunts and nephews, after all, he came here the most. Although he didn't pay special attention to the three sisters Xie Kuo, these three girls only stayed in the Xuanqing Palace and hardly had contact with outsiders. But it is an indisputable fact.
Besides the servants in Xuanqing Palace, there are either the emperor's daughter or Xie Kuo's daughter who has the same identity as Xie Kuo, who can Xie Kuo bully?
Speaking of slaves, the emperor thought that with the temperament of the noble concubine, it was unlikely that he would teach his niece to be harsh on his subordinates. Because Yun Fenghuang is famous for being lenient and strict, lenient mainly refers to treatment and daily life, strictness is what she ordered, and it must be true. Whoever dares to steal, rape and play tricks will be dealt with seriously. strict.
In general, working under the concubine's hands, as long as you are dedicated to your duties and do not make mistakes, you can actually live comfortably and at ease.
Because the noble concubine has almost never angered her servants, she also directed her anger towards other masters, but she did not vent her anger on the servants.
Not only himself like this, Princess Zhaoqing punished her subordinates earlier, and was also dissuaded by the imperial concubine.
Even dignified princesses and noble concubines are not allowed to stay. It is too harsh, so how can they condone their nieces to do so?
The emperor's thoughts turned, thinking about the possible person behind the scenes, and said: "Ah Huang, if it is inconvenient for you, can you take him away and hand it over to the Imperial City Secretary?"
"Your Majesty, the concubine's place here is quite big, but it can be accommodated." Yun Fenghuang refused straight away. She had just explained the matter of the child-killing medicine. s method.
How can the emperor take people away?
As for whether Chunjia will be suspicious because of this...
Yun Fenghuang also has a countermeasure: to catch people first, and to suspect Chunjia first!
"Besides, this matter happened in the palace. I am a noble concubine, and I almost failed to protect my own niece. It really deserves to die."
The noble concubine lowered her eyes and said softly, "I also ask Your Majesty to give this concubine a chance to make amends."
"Furthermore, your majesty's government affairs in the previous court were tedious, how can I have the heart to make your majesty worry about my concubine's dereliction of duty?"
These words sounded like an apology, but also a consideration for the emperor.
But Chunjia knew the imperial concubine well, and knew that this concubine was always very suspicious.
Now that she kept saying that she was negligent, it was hard not to make people suspect that she was suspicious of the queen.
After all, since Princess Xincheng almost had an accident in the palace, the imperial concubine would not harm her own niece and daughter, and the servants did not just come to Xincheng's side. It must be thought that the action this time was probably a long time ago. Just arrange the sand next to the imperial concubine. Then the mastermind behind the scenes must be those who are also high in the court like the imperial concubine.
The emperor's heart sank, because he was also so skeptical.
He is very clear about Yun Fenghuang's methods, but it is not the kind of queen, anyone can figure it out.
Xincheng is here as a noble concubine, and her status may not be as high as Zhaoqing's serious heirs, but after all, she is Yunfenghuang's niece and daughter who is related by blood, and she has been appointed as the princess to be a grand family with her relatives, so it is impossible for Yunfenghuang to ignore it. Don't ask, in this case, it's almost a trick. This is definitely not something that can be done by simply pulling someone to the harem.
After the emperor figured out the ins and outs, the first thing that came to his mind was the empress dowager, the two empress dowagers, the empress and even the concubine De. Others were unlikely.
The empress dowager, the two empress dowagers, and the empress are because when Yun Fenghuang's status was still low, they were in high positions.
As for Concubine De, it was because she had a good relationship with Concubine Noble.
Although Wei Hengyan himself has not dared to make trouble in front of the noble concubine because of his affection for the past ten years.
But from Chunjia's point of view, the imperial concubine seems to be cruel and ruthless, but in fact she is quite soft-hearted towards her own people. Over the years, Concubine De's elder sister has been older than her elder sister, so the imperial concubine has to treat her like her own younger sister. If the imperial concubine has ulterior motives and wants to kill the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine will probably be defenseless.
Just now Chunjia proposed to hand over the person to the Imperial City Secretary to take care of him. Although he was eager to find out the truth, he also hoped to control the rhythm of the matter in his own hands.
Now the imperial concubine refused, the emperor changed his mind, but he didn't insist on it, he only comforted him a few words, and left on the pretext of being busy with government affairs.
After he left, Yun Fenghuang took a look at Xie Kuo and said, "What do you think His Majesty will do later?"
Xie Kuo pondered for a while, then asked uncertainly, "Send someone to inquire about the results of our torture?"
"Before you guess what His Majesty will do next, don't think about such ordinary people's actions." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Only think about His Majesty's character, His Majesty's situation, and what should he do?"
Xie Kuo bit his lip, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty... Just now, His Majesty proposed to send him to the Imperial City Division. It can be seen that he still wants to know the truth. But after Aunt refused, he did not force it. This shows...Aunt's suspect The plan is effective, His Majesty suspects that Auntie suspects that once the real culprit behind the incident is exposed, it will embarrass His Majesty? Since this is the case, His Majesty definitely does not want what proof Auntie got from these people, when the time comes, whether it is to find His Majesty Crying, begging His Majesty for justice; or hiding it in my heart, keeping silent, secretly holding grudges, for Your Majesty, I'm afraid I don't even want to see it."
"In that case, then..."
"Your Majesty will not only send someone to keep an eye on our interrogation process, but once... once the confession makes His Majesty feel that it will point to someone he does not want to doubt, for example, the loving mother Empress Dowager. Your Majesty will even...?"
After saying that, she looked at Yun Fenghuang expectantly and cautiously.
Yun Fenghuang smiled a little, this action made Xie Kuo secretly relieved, and his mood was a little joyful.
"It's good that you can think of these things." The concubine said softly, "It's just that you still underestimated the emperor's decision... Looking at this matter from the standpoint of His Majesty, the princess who was regarded as the target, you are safe and sound, In fact, there was no damage. Even if this matter was replaced by the palace because of the medicine, it changed from a conspiracy against our aunt and nephew to a calculation that seems to be against the imperial court, but to be honest, those who start from the beginning dare not act in the previous court , I only dare to play tricks on you, a girl, obviously these people don't have much ability, they only dare to play tricks on female relatives."
"Then, for Your Majesty, the most important thing now is not to seek justice for you, nor to find out the truth, but to ensure that this palace will not cause unresolved grievances with some people he cares about because of this incident... ..."
She tilted her head slightly, and signaled Chi E to step forward, "Go find the two most suspicious people and ask, is it ordered by the loving mother Empress Dowager?"
Chi Ca went knowingly.
Yun Fenghuang looked at Xie Kuo, and said, "Guess who did this?"
Xie Kuo was confused for a while and said: "Auntie, forgive my niece for being stupid, but I really don't know very well... At first, my niece was most suspicious of the queen. After all, the queen is absolutely unwilling to see her niece become Wei He Da Yan's!"
"I'm actually not sure, because there are too many people who want to put you to death." The concubine said lightly, "Whether it's because of your status as the future Da Yan family, or because of the grievances and grievances that I forged in the early years... Towards the harem, if there is even the slightest chance, who will be soft on you?"
"But it doesn't matter. When we don't know the real culprit, let's solve the most urgent problem first."
"Take the rest slowly, and there will be revenge one day."
"Let's not think about the real culprit now. After all, they didn't succeed when they were caught off guard. It will become more and more impossible for them to succeed in the future."
"So, you remember that someone is going to kill you, but don't be too nervous."
"Look, if you lead those two people to say any ambiguous words to let His Majesty know, they will definitely not be able to survive." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "This is tantamount to using His Majesty's hand to silence... and Your Majesty will not doubt us easily, because he is more worried about us discovering the 'truth', which is the suspicion of the loving mother Empress Dowager!"
"After all, Your Majesty knows about my nature. If the loving empress dowager really did something to you, I won't say anything about it, but I will definitely compete with the empress dowager!"
She breathed out slowly, and said, "And after His Majesty covered up the matter, he had to consider how to explain it to the Palace. Tell me, how should he explain it at this time?"
Xie Kuo thought for a while, then said softly: "Auntie, Your Majesty should... go to the temple?"
"That's right." Yun Fenghuang nodded, "Because my palace is detained in the harem, and your twenty-first uncle has not yet returned to the court, we don't have very reliable and reliable officials in the court, so we don't know very well. Your Majesty will go to the court It is the least likely for Ben Gong to notice the flaws.”
"But in this way, His Majesty obviously won't do anything to the loving mother Empress Dowager?" Xie Kuo said puzzledly, "Auntie wants to target the loving mother Empress Dowager, what?"
Yun Fenghuang smiled silently: "Before your majesty's affection for the loving empress dowager is exhausted, your majesty will excuse her for anything she does. This move by this palace is to consume your majesty's filial piety towards the loving empress dowager; Two things... If the loving mother Empress Dowager is innocent, I’m afraid she still doesn’t know what’s going on! If the loving mother Empress Dowager knows about this and knows that she is suspected, guess what she will do?”
Xie Kuo turned his mind to a telegram: "She... the loving mother Empress Dowager... will suspect that someone has framed her?"
"After that, it should be to find out the person who framed it and take revenge?"
"And in terms of grievances and status, the most suspicious... Empress Empress?"
"There's one more person you forgot." Yun Fenghuang pointed out, "It's Bengong! It's so easy for a thief to catch a thief, isn't it?"
Xie Kuo was stunned for a while, and said: "Then, what if the loving mother Empress Dowager suspects aunt?"
"First of all, she has no evidence. The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is well aware of this. If I am caught playing tricks in her own palace and she catches me, I will be in the court all these years in vain." Yun Fenghuang He said calmly, "Secondly, she has to consider your status in Bengong's mind, and whether it is necessary for Bengong to use you as a cover? After all, this time you seem to be safe and sound, but you have suffered a heavy loss!"
Seeing that Xie Kuo was puzzled, she sighed, "Your close servant! The servant who has served you for many years knows your temperament, your likes and dislikes, and you also understand their temperament and how to control them... Many of them are people specially cultivated by the Palace, if they say no, they will be gone! If it was two years earlier, it would be fine, anyway, there are so many people in the Palace, and you can always find someone who can do things. But at this moment, your wedding date is not long God, what are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Xie Kuo also became nervous, but after thinking about it carefully, this problem is really difficult to solve, so he was very embarrassed: "This, aunt, it really can't be done, why don't you just call some people with me at that time?"
"How is this possible?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "You were almost poisoned in front of this palace. If you are told to leave now, what is the difference from letting you die? Looking back, I will kill the people around me. Allocate some dowry. When the time comes, let them watch over it for you, and train newcomers by the way. You have to work hard yourself, and strive to gain a foothold in Weihe as soon as possible."
She frowned and said, "The loving empress dowager and the queen, if they know that this palace will give you their servants as a dowry, they should understand, no, the empress may not be sure, but the loving empress dowager must understand that this matter can't be my own. It was made by the palace."
"Because the confidantes that I have carefully cultivated for many years, I would at most bring you a few to take away. Now, I have to accompany you. This kind of manpower is not something that you can have if you want it. It is impossible for me to take it away. They are going to exchange for a storm, they are not so cheap!"
Xie Kuo tilted his head, thoughtful, so even if the queen couldn't react due to dullness, the loving mother empress dowager would judge from it that the introduction of this matter was definitely not caused by the noble concubine.
Xuanqing Palace is actually a victim...
Then, the one who framed himself would not be the imperial concubine.
After the loving mother Empress Dowager came to this conclusion, she had to test the empress and other candidates she suspected and fight back.
At least it will observe and wait for an opportunity.
She believes that her aunt may have other means to arrange it by then, but she should already be on the way to marry far away by then...
Xie Kuo calmed down and did not ask Yun Fenghuang's successor, but said: "Auntie, at the beginning of the year, I heard that someone in the temple proposed to set up a reserve. The reason why there is not much trouble now is probably because my marriage will delay it. In this case , after I leave, what do you plan to do here, Auntie?"
"After all, no matter how smart Zhonggong is, he is orthodox!"
