Chapter 160: Hindsight

Princess Minghui attracted quite a lot of attention at first, but with the increase in the number of times she made troubles, everyone became used to it from surprise.

Therefore, if something happened in the eldest princess's mansion, everyone didn't care much about it.

It may be for this reason that Minghui was assassinated years ago and the news is running out. If the emperor hadn't mentioned it, Yun Fenghuang would not have known about it at all.

But now that I know it, I sent someone to investigate, and they quickly found out what happened: as Chunjia said, it was caused by jealousy.

Minghui was injured in heart and lungs, and although the imperial physician saved his life with all his efforts, but due to the seriousness of the injury and the severe loss of vitality, he couldn't last long.

When the incident happened, the Dachang Princess's mansion was terrified. Fortunately, the servants Minghui married were all trained by the common man Ji Sheng, and they were reliable at critical moments. They immediately blocked the news and sent someone to the palace to ask to see the emperor.

When Chunjia heard the news, she immediately ordered the news to be blocked.

After all, Princess Minghui lost face not once or twice, but this, the golden branch and jade leaf being murdered by an adulterer, is really an unprecedented scandal.

The emperor managed to restore the majesty of the royal bloodline. In the past, the eldest princess raised the noodles. Anyway, it was the noble privilege of the Tian family. It seemed immoral, but in fact it proved the ability of the emperor to control his ministers. He couldn't persuade Ming Hui so I'm too lazy to take care of it.

But this time it was different, the dignified empress was hurt by a scumbag face, and she almost couldn't be rescued.

No such absurd things happened when Emperor Xiaozong and those kings of the subjugated country were put aside.

How could Chunjia let such a shameful thing spread?

"Your Highness is really..." Qing shook his head and said, "It's a good deck of cards, played like this. If Ji Sheng, the common man, knows, I'm afraid he will be angry with her."

But turning around, he changed his smile and said, "At the beginning we wanted to ask His Royal Highness Minghui's valet, but we couldn't get in. Now that she is dying, those people should be more tactful, right?"

"Even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about His Royal Highness Minghui's heirs who don't know who their biological father is?"

Yun Fenghuang held the goat's milk and drank it slowly, and said in a slow voice: "I'm not in good spirits at the moment, but I don't think well... Tell me, even if Minghui is about to die, will His Majesty soften his heart?"

The attendants were startled, and the Qing subconsciously said, "This...should be?"

Otherwise, why did Chunjia come here to talk about the Seventh Prince in person?

Not to mention that the Seventh Prince himself is Chunjia's favorite prince, even for the sake of the noble concubine's face, he shouldn't be asked to go with Yunqin Gao!

It can be seen that the emperor still has affection for Minghui in his heart, no, it should be said that he is grateful to Xiaozong, and it continues to Xiaozong's only daughter.

"I thought so too just now." Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but doubt the necessity of keeping twins in his heart. It's not yet the time when the moon grows up, so he has some energy Can't keep up.

After another month or two, wouldn't she be getting old and confused?

Looking around, they were all the people who tried their best to persuade her to keep the child earlier, she temporarily swallowed the thought, and said slowly, "But now I have come to my senses, is Your Majesty the kind of master who is soft-hearted and soft-hearted? What's more, I just made it clear to His Majesty that Minghui's request is nothing more than worrying that her children will be alone and helpless after she goes. His Majesty has already approved her, and will give her children titles and rewards to ensure that in the future, as long as they If you don’t make trouble for yourself, you will be prosperous and rich all your life.”

"What is there to be unsatisfied with?"

"It is necessary for Xiao Qi, a dignified prince, to come forward to coax an adulterous daughter?"

"Minghui can indeed make such a request."

"Your Majesty will agree?"

Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, and said slowly, "I entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and I have served him wholeheartedly for thirteen years. In many things, he still fooled me and refused to let me do what I wanted. Even if Minghui is his step-sister, he has Xiaozong's respect. The kindness exists, and the true harmony between the siblings was only eight years before His Majesty took power. Back then, Concubine An grew up with His Majesty's childhood sweetheart, so it was not because of the affection of a loving mother and empress dowager. However, after His Majesty took power How long did Concubine An's unreasonable troubles take? Minghui's troubles over the years are even worse than Concubine An's!"

"Do you think His Majesty will really treat Minghui with dignity just because she is dying?"

The waiters looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while?

"Your Majesty." In the end, Chi E, who was the smartest, stood up and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, you mean that His Majesty would agree to such an absurd proposal, because there is an inside story in it? But His Majesty has always loved Your Majesty, if there are other reasons, why not Why don't you explain it to your mother?"

Yun Fenghuang sighed: "Yes, Your Majesty doesn't need to pretend to be a virtuous brother with me. Why are you so secretive? I have thought about it, and there is only one reason, that is, Your Majesty did it on purpose. The purpose is to let me Gong think about it carefully!"

The attendants were all puzzled: "But what does His Majesty want the empress to think?"

"The existence of Ji Qin and others was only exposed because of the downfall of the Gu family." Yun Fenghuang reminded softly, "At that time, Yin Shangshu saw that confession and copied a copy for this palace. You said, His Majesty would not know about this. thing, or don’t know the confession?”

Seeing the expressions on the left and right have changed, the imperial concubine's face sank, "Your Majesty must know about it, and it's impossible to hide this."

"The best result now is that His Majesty, like Mrs. Gu, thinks that Ji Qin and others are arranged by my palace for brother twenty-one, and they are people of my palace."

"The worst result is that His Majesty already knows the true identity of Ji Qin and others... In that case, I don't know, what will Your Majesty think and do?"

"Your Majesty, you are also being deceived..." the Qing people couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty has always loved you, you can make it clear."

"Then what?" Yun Fenghuang asked calmly, "Teach him that I am not as smart and capable as he thought. In fact, I have been deceived by the Ji family for more than ten years, and I have lost my family, brothers, and nephews. Even the mother has been held in each other's hands so far? Are you afraid that you have forgotten why His Majesty first loved me? Is it because of my youth? Is it because of my beauty? Is it because of my talent? Maybe a little bit of both, but when the concubines and concubines in this palace came in, who was young and beautiful? In terms of talent, Cui Lianye, the daughter of Cui Wan, is not above this palace in terms of poetry and poetry?"

"In terms of beauty, Yi Xing'en is the best one in the six palaces."

"The reason why His Majesty loves me is simply because he loves talent."

"In addition to being young and beautiful, Ben Gong has superior means and city government. This is what makes him interested, and then moved his heart."

She calmly said, "If he finds out that Bengong has lost so badly at the hands of the remnants of the Ji family, will he not be disappointed?"

"There are so many enemies in this palace, and because of the dispute between the country and the foundation, there are even more people who want to make trouble for this palace."

"At this time, if His Majesty has a heart knot with this palace, what will be the consequences?"

The Qing people said in a low voice: "But... but people are not sages, who can not make mistakes? It is His Majesty himself, even if your maidservant says something disrespectful, His Majesty cannot be free from mistakes!"

"That's right, but he is the Son of Heaven." Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "He is disappointed in this palace, and there are other people who are below him. This is the fact."

For a while, no one spoke in the hall.

It took a while before someone whispered: "Your Majesty, this is just the worst-case scenario. You have always been blessed with great blessings, so maybe you don't need to go to that step? Maybe Your Majesty mistook Ji Qin and others for your staff?"

"I have never pretended to be virtuous and gentle with Your Majesty." The imperial concubine sneered, "Your Majesty is not the kind of hot-blooded young man who doesn't see the slightest misbehavior from the people around him. Your Majesty just pretends not to know about some bullying and taking bribes... You said, it must be Ji Qin and those bastards who have done something in the name of my palace to teach His Majesty to come to the door to mention something in person? Even, Xiao Qi was involved?"

Qing's face trembled, and he said in shock: "Your Majesty, could it be... Could it be that His Royal Highness Minghui was assassinated???"

Not only her, but many confidantes also had solemn expressions: "Even if your majesty had some affection for this highness in the early years, after so many years, because of this highness's repeated tossing, it must have been used up. As the empress said, normal In other words, His Majesty is determined not to let the Empress, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince suffer such humiliation for the sake of His Royal Highness Ming Hui... unless... unless..."

Unless the assassination of Minghui's face was not done in a fit of anger, but at the instigation of others.

And the behind-the-scenes mastermind, and Yun Fenghuang euphemistically got on the side.

Even all of this was caught by Minghui and made a fuss in front of Chunjia...

In order to protect the noble concubine, Chunjia negotiated terms with Minghui, thus involving the Seventh Prince.

Minghui has always followed her temperament and never looked at the situation.

But after she became a mother, it was rumored that she loved her children a lot.

If she can live for a long time, it is likely that she is unwilling to compromise, and even quarreled with the emperor beyond control.

The problem is that she doesn't have many days to live, but her children are all young.

At this time, the loving mother's heart broke out, and it was reasonable to endure the hatred and seek a future for the child.

The mastermind to assassinate her was the noble concubine, but the noble concubine's wrists are strong and the city is deep. With Gu Zhen deposed, it is very likely that she will enter the Qingci Palace.

Of course, such a thing as winning the crown prince is also uncertain, so the Seventh Prince is a good choice.

The imperial concubine and Yin's father and daughter are his backers, but they also have the same aspirations to exclude him from the national struggle and give him wealth and stability as much as possible.

As long as the seventh concubine doesn't act like a monster, she will live a good life with this husband.

"But ma'am, since Ji Qin is a remnant of the Ji family, why did he kill His Highness Minghui?" Hong E raised doubts, "His Highness Minghui, as Ji's niece, has always been close to the Ji family. The common man Ji Sheng died at that time. , and the demise of the Ji family, His Highness has always remembered it in his heart, so much so that His Majesty's courteous treatment again and again, His Highness is still angry! Have the remnants of the Ji family lost their minds? Or did they come here desperately to frame the empress? This level???"

Yun Fenghuang frowned, she couldn't figure it out either.

There was no way, she entered the palace too late, her family background was too low, many things were unheard of, so naturally she couldn't speculate out of thin air.

Just like the ordinary people at the moment, regarding the series of battles in the palace seven years after Chunjia, they can only draw one conclusion, that Concubine Min is kind-hearted and enviable, and there are always people who want to be jealous if they don't get the emperor's favor. For Concubine Min!

The truth is only known to a few.

"Let's ignore this." The imperial concubine calmed down and said, "Even if Ji Qin plots against me, it is impossible to force me to death at this time. The plan for now is to find out your majesty's thinking and purpose."

She felt a little annoyed. In the past, the emperor always asked questions directly, but after being made a few times by her guilty conscience and turning black and white, she didn't dare.

This roundabout and euphemism at this moment, although it gave her a chance to buffer, it also left a gap in the end...

I really don't know if it's good or bad?
