Chapter 188 I Will Not Make the Same Mistake for the Second Time
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "I know. But it's not as long as His Highness thought, and I only found out not long ago."
Chunjia asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you tell me?"
He didn't say why he didn't tell Sui'an, after all, such a big matter, and Sui'an was a big heir, and he was very depressed because of it, and he was still depressed after being enlightened by various parties, and it gradually eased after adopting a pair of girls.
How could Yun Fenghuang talk about such a thing?
What the emperor cared about was that it was fine if she didn't tell Sui'an, but why did she keep it from him?
"...Because of being a concubine... I have no face to tell Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, he said that the person I want to hide most is you, you really know, there is no other way but to confess, you don't know What should I take the initiative to tell?
When I entered the palace at the beginning of the year, was it not enough to talk about Qi Jiulu's lessons with you?
She lowered her eyes slightly, with a bit of sadness in her voice, and choked up, "The concubine made an oath to His Majesty back then... Originally, I did think that Brother Twenty-one was born in a humble family, and that he was able to honor the Lord because he had already come from Sanshengxiu Blessing, what can a husband ask for? Who knows...he would do such a thing...how can I have the face to tell you? I can only hide my ears and steal the bell, wishing that no one would know about it for the rest of my life."
Chunjia looked at her for a long time before saying: "Then do you know why Xie Wuzheng did this?"
This problem is more fatal than just now.
Yun Fenghuang's heart skipped a beat. Most importantly, she didn't know how much Chunjia knew about it?
Ji Qin...
This man came into the palace to see her.
It is impossible to say that it is impossible to completely put aside, but Xie Wuzheng defeated the eldest princess Sui'an, and he can still use reasons such as "speechless" and "I am afraid that the eldest princess will be more irritated", although these reasons are also far-fetched. , It also seems that she is not a thing.
But after all, it only harmed the interests of Princess Sui'an.
In Chunjia's heart, Yun Feng Huang's weight, at least for now, is more important than that of the eldest princess.
But when it comes to the remnants of the Ji family, especially the layout of the Ji family in the past many years before its collapse, it may be related to the previous dynasty, or even to the country and the throne.
Yun Fenghuang is not that kind of silly and sweet, so he should know the seriousness.
What does it mean to hide such a big matter from the emperor?
What kind of thoughts are you hiding?
"...It seems that he was bewitched by the remnants of the Ji family." Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned, and he told the story of Ji Qin and others hiding by Xie Wuzheng's side, only blurring the whole process, implying that she He didn't quite understand, and said in a low voice, "Even Xie Fuwang, who used the banner of my elder brother's heir, was all he... he and Ji's daughter were born, and they were impostors. When I first heard about it, I was shocked and angry. I feel extremely guilty to His Majesty and to Princess Sui'an. So... I didn't report it immediately, I just thought about making false claims first, and then reporting to Your Majesty after I found out their details, so that I could catch them all, and... It can also make atonement."
There are nine truths and one falsehood in these words, and the false part is that she has never considered confessing to Chunjia unless it is absolutely necessary.
But if Chunjia went to investigate, she would find that she did know of the existence of Ji Qin and others only recently, and after meeting Ji Qin, she immediately launched a thorough investigation and design of the other party.
You can totally match up with this rhetoric.
Chunjia didn't know whether to believe it or not at this moment, she was silent for a moment, and continued to ask noncommittally: "Since this is the case, how did Sui'an know the details of this matter? Xie Wuzheng has been deceiving him for many years, so it is said that he would not be here. At this time, you suddenly lost your hand. You didn’t mean to tell her, who did it? No way, it’s the remnants of the Ji family? Why did they do this?”
Yun Fenghuang laughed wryly: "Your Majesty, I am dull, I don't know myself."
She is really at a loss right now, she can only vaguely feel that an unprecedented big net is hooding her!
But exactly who is leading this network, and how many people and things make up this network, they don't know anything.
This is also the reason why she has a premonition that the storm is coming but is rarely helpless... Because she is not even sure about the specific enemy, how to deal with it?
"You've been targeting the East Palace recently." Chunjia was silent for a while, then said slowly, "Could it be that you suspect that this matter has something to do with the Crown Prince?"
"The prince is unlikely." Yun Fenghuang only weighed the pros and cons for a little bit, then gave up the possibility of throwing the blame on the East Palace, and shook his head flatly, "The prince is able to stand in the East Palace because of his aptitude and uprightness. How long has it been since he was registered? Even if he is dissatisfied with the concubine, he will not use ghost tricks against the concubine right now."
Chunjia closed her eyes for a moment, and said softly: "You rest in Xuanqing Palace... I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for me to come here, but the palace affairs are handed over to Concubine Shu and Concubine De, they are the people you have used all these years , I don’t think it will be difficult. King Zhen and Kang’an are young, they are not sensible, and they will follow you. As for the fifteenth, although they have not yet passed their birthdays, they are still ten years old. Let’s move to Qiongjiu Palace. People will watch, you don’t have to worry about it.”
"……yes."
Chunjia opened her eyes, stared at her for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is there anything else?"
Yun Fenghuang was startled, with a puzzled expression on his face.
The emperor patiently explained: "There are other things, I mean something similar, didn't I say anything?"
That's a lot...
For example, the empress in front of you was deposed, for example, the downfall of King Chongxin, who had been placed with high hopes...
Yun Fenghuang smirked secretly in his heart, but his face immediately showed bitterness: "If it weren't for...if it weren't for Brother Twenty-one and my concubine being blood relatives, my concubine...although I'm not very smart, I'm not the kind of listener. The wind is the rain, how could he be blinded by him for so many years? He even delayed His Royal Highness Sui'an?"
"... I know." Chunjia breathed a sigh of relief, but relaxed a lot, and said slowly, "Just rest, and I will come to see you again in two days."
"My concubine is stupid, and His Majesty has to worry about it." Yun Fenghuang was always domineering, even if he did something wrong, he would never admit it, and even beat him back.
Now it's rare to show a soft and guilty look, Chunjia was surprised, but also felt a little pity, thinking that she should feel sorry for Sui'an, and the resentment of being cheated and entrapped by her brother. When she left, she couldn't help but relax Pointed it out: "After all, Sui'an is the daughter of the first emperor, and I always want to show some dignity in the limelight. After the incident, she calms down, and she must know the severity."
Since he said so, even after the incident, Princess Sui'an was not calm enough to forgive Yun Fenghuang, the emperor still had a way to make her "forgive".
Therefore, after watching Shengjia leave, the Qing people could not help but wipe their tears from their joy, and whispered to Yun Fenghuang: "Have you heard, Your Majesty? Your Majesty is protecting you in the end."
"..." There was no smile in Yun Fenghuang's eyes, and he just sighed, "Why do you not have a long memory? I just told you that it is not His Majesty who wants us to die now, but someone else!"
People in the Qing Dynasty are unwilling to think about the worst, but now, what's the point of hiding one's ears and stealing one's bell?
The fact is that she is not a newcomer who entered the palace at the beginning of the year. Even though she had an amazing start, because of her background and status, she was not taken too seriously and might be treated with negligence.
Entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and now more than ten years have passed with the snap of his fingers. From a mere Baolin, he once ascended to the throne. He has many heirs, and they are all loved by Chunjia... With such a record and power, the opponent must be so stupid to think that , only relying on such a matter as Princess Sui'an, what can be done to her?
Chunjia's sincerity towards the three step-sisters had been clearly revealed long ago when he was in charge of the marriage of the three golden branches and jade leaves after he took office.
He has no intention of treating these three step-sisters harshly on purpose, provided that his own interests and status are not threatened.
if not……
Chunjia sacrificed and used them without any hesitation.
Since he valued himself more than the three siblings, why would he wrong his beloved concubine for the sake of the siblings?
Princess Sui'an was cheated so that she could not have her own children, and the culprit was to step on her pain and play the role of a lover, and she was deeply moved at one time... Such a humiliating thing may cause an uproar in the government and the public, and sympathize with her A wave of innocent golden branches and jade leaves.
But from Chunjia's standpoint...
It's not that he was killed so that he couldn't have his own flesh and blood.
Or when he first came to the throne, he still had considerable affection for the three step-sisters.
But after eight years of dormancy, once the dynasty succeeded, and stepped on one political enemy after another to truly rule the world, this kind of gratitude, this kind of affection, both emotionally and in the overall situation, have been weakened to the extreme : From an emotional point of view, this throne, the identity of Xiaozong's heir only gave him a chance, but in the end it was he who forbeared step by step, planned, took risks, and fought... This is the fruit of victory after he put in a lot of hard work.
The kindness of the stepfather who has never met has been exhausted in this process.
Even more, it is a show from the overall situation.
After Chunjia's throne was stabilized, this overall need began to change quietly: Chunjia's throne was not stable before, and he needed to emphasize that he was the heir of Xiaozong, Xiaozong, or the legal successor to the throne.
But now, he has firmly secured the throne by relying on his strength.
Instead, this needs to be downplayed.
Only in this way can the overall situation be completely in their own hands.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang is certain that those who plot against him will never naively think that Suian can bring her down.
There must be someone behind...
Thinking of Chunjia's promise just now, and his inquiry about whether there was anything else that was hidden from him, Yun Fenghuang's eyes flashed, and finally he let out a sigh of relief.
She was no longer that Yun Fenghuang who just entered the palace.
The same mistake will never be made a second time.
What's more, she has done so many things without telling Chunjia, so she just pulls out two things at random, without waiting for the people behind the scenes to plan, I'm afraid the emperor will dislike her any minute.
That being the case, it's better to take a gamble. The people behind the gamble don't know that much, at least not in that detail, and there may be room for sophistry and denial.
If it doesn't work...
Yun Fenghuang's eyes flickered, and he suddenly ordered to the left and right: "Go to someone, and ask the person in front of Miss Qin Gao to come over."
