Chapter 207: Ling Chi

Chunjia sneered after receiving the report, and continued to review the memorial noncommittally.

The imperial attendant was in a difficult situation, wondering if the emperor didn't want to pay attention to the Xuanqing Palace?

But considering Yun Fenghuang's great favor and methods over the years, even if his vitality is seriously injured after this time, his status in the emperor's mind has also dropped a lot, so it's better not to be contemptuous in a short time.

So after going out, he only said politely: "Your Majesty is busy now, and the slaves dare not disturb you. Please go back and report to the empress first. When your majesty is free, the slaves will report back."

On the side of the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang just smirked after hearing this report, pretending that there was no such thing, and went to wash and eat on his own.

In the evening, Shengjia came slowly, seeing Jieyu's plain clothes, Chunjia subconsciously frowned.

Things have been going on in the court and harem these days, and he didn't pay much attention to Yun Fenghuang's attire. This beloved concubine has a gorgeous appearance and a flamboyant temperament. With the appearance of the hairpin sarong, I always feel that something is wrong.

"Didn't your dress come from the Central Palace?" The emperor hesitated for a while, but still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Why are you wearing old clothes?"

Yun Fenghuang said indifferently: "They all moved here, but today I thought His Majesty would not come here, so I didn't bother."

Inexplicably, Chunjia was in a better mood, so she continued, "Besides, King Qin is already married. The children below are not yet married, so concubines have to be prepared for them."

...So, she didn't dress up, not only because she wanted to please herself, and she didn't bother to dress up when she didn't come, but also to save clothing and jewelry, so as to save money for the heirs who were raised by one hand?

The emperor looked at her suspiciously, and always felt that the reason behind was the key point, while Yun Fenghuang coaxed him in front!

"Their identities are there. When they get married, can the court and the royal family treat them badly?" Chunjia snorted softly and said, "Why do you need to be so frugal?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "The concubine is always their mother, and she must do her best. It is also the concubine who came from a humble background, and the family has no family background. What can I do if I don't save myself?"

Chun Jia laughed and said, "You have not lost money for cosmetics in the past two years."

"But there are many children who need to be taken care of by my concubine." Yun Fenghuang didn't care at all about the fact that he alluded to receiving various bribes in private, and said frankly, "There is nothing for a few children. "

He also said, "What's more, with Zhaoqing's temperament, how can she tolerate herself being weaker than others? She must give more of her share."

The emperor was skeptical about this, Yun Fenghuang tried every means to save money over the years, but in fact the main purpose was to save for his son's needs.

It's just that the emperor registered Gong Xiangbing first, so it's very difficult to go through with this plan now.

At least until King Jin grows up enough to stand up to Gongxiang Bing, it will be difficult.

He turned his mind around, but he didn't point out the matter after all, he just said: "What are you asking me to come here now? The emperor's grandmother made things difficult for you?"

Of course, the empress dowager sent people to Huanhua hall, but he couldn't hide it from his eyes and ears.

But he didn't think that the Empress Dowager's people would bully Yun Fenghuang, or in other words, he didn't think that the Empress Dowager's people could bully Yun Fenghuang.

"It's not difficult, it's just that the person who came here was very angry." Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips, "I feel a little strange because of this."

The emperor said, "What's so strange?"

"It's strange why the empress dowager knows that she is old, and it is the time when more things are worse than less things, so why rush to kill the concubine?" Yun Fenghuang explained his doubts about the empress dowager in detail , slowly said, "The concubine has some doubts that she still loves the prince, but this action is too hasty. Besides, although the prince is young, he is not confused. Why does she need to do so much?"

To be honest, as far as that boy Gong Xiangbing is calm and ruthless, Yun Fenghuang really doesn't have much confidence to have the last laugh.

It's just that she certainly won't sit still.

In Yun Fenghuang's view, the Empress Dowager's intervention was unnecessary, and in Gong Xiangbing's view, it was probably unnecessary.

I don't know what the Empress Dowager thinks, she must target Yun Fenghuang at such an inappropriate time?

"You mean, the impeachment of you this time, including the exposure of Xie Wuzheng, was all done by the emperor's grandmother?" Chunjia heard this, thought for a moment, and asked slowly.

Yun Fenghuang looked at him in surprise: "Don't tell me His Majesty doesn't know?"

Chunjia said, "I don't think so."

Seeing Yun Fenghuang frowning, he explained, "I have been paying attention to the Shanyuan Temple you mentioned for a while, but I didn't go deep into it."

After all, there are too many things to worry about as the emperor, and it is impossible for him to invest too much time and energy in a seemingly insignificant place.

"But I am very clear about the movements of the imperial grandmother over the years."

Chunjia said firmly, "The people behind the Meng family and others are not her."

"...Then who else can connect with these people to target the concubine?" Yun Fenghuang frowned, and couldn't help but look at Chunjia more.

The emperor immediately laughed angrily: "You doubt me?"

"No." Yun Fenghuang hesitated for a while, but still said, "Your Majesty wants to target the concubine, why is it so troublesome? As long as you show a sense of boredom, there are many people who are willing to share your majesty's worries and problems. Concubine said, is it possible? , is the loving mother the Empress Dowager?"

"You've cheated so much on your mother that you know you're guilty?" Chunjia snorted and said, "No way!"

So, the loving mother Empress Dowager has been stared at by the emperor?

Yun Fenghuang really couldn't find anyone to doubt this time, the main reason is that either the weight is not enough, or the ability is not enough.

After all, being able to get the secret from Ji Qin, and motivating the Meng family and others to do it together... This is not something that just one person can do.

Although Yun Fenghuang had many enemies, the only ones who were qualified to be behind the scenes were the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, that's all.

Empress Dowager Qu is barely qualified, but the problem is that Empress Dowager Qu has no reason to do so.

Seeing Yun Fenghuang's eyebrows furrowed tightly, the emperor thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Actually, it might be possible to reverse it."

He reminded, "The reason why you doubt the emperor's grandmother is nothing more than because the information revealed in the words of the person sent by the emperor's grandmother reminds you. But what if this is the plan of the people behind the scenes?"

Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes: "Your Majesty is saying...?"

"You have been in the palace for many years, and you are not unknown. Your temperament is actually not difficult to figure out." The emperor said, "Maybe the people behind the scenes are not targeting you, but the emperor's grandmother?"

"This..." Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned, and his expression became solemn, "Is it someone related to Shanyuan Temple?"

In the last years of Sejong and the early years of Shenzong, the royal family had a very deep entanglement with Shanyuan Temple, otherwise Shanyuan Temple would not have been replaced by all members.

It's just that the reason for this entanglement and some secrets have long been buried in the dust of the time.

Anyway, Yun Fenghuang had looked for many old people who came down at that time, but he couldn't spy one or two.

But judging from the generous gifts that the Empress Dowager has given to Shanyuan Taoist Temple so far, she probably has some reason to be held, and she has to treat this Taoist temple that has not been so favored by the royal family in the past two years.

But even so, the status and seniority of the Empress Dowager cannot be easily moved.

Especially after the destruction of the Ji family, even Chunjia's intention to kill her has faded a lot.

After all, Xiaozong's original wife is gone, and if Xiaozong's own mother has something wrong, it will be difficult for future generations not to think that he is a white-eyed wolf.

If the empress dowager still poses a considerable threat to him, then the white-eyed wolf will be the one.

But this royal elder can't do anything now, at least he can't do anything to Chunjia, why should Chunjia take this risk?

Therefore, if someone wants to target the Empress Dowager, the usual framing and exposing are meaningless, and they can only kill with a knife.

And the person who has the ability to bring down the Empress Dowager...

Counting and counting are just a few.

The first choice, Chunjia, is not easy to use; secondly, there is no direct grievance between the Queen Mother Yuan and the Queen Mother. Empress Dowager?

The last candidate was Yun Fenghuang.

But just like the Empress Dowager Yuan, although Yun Fenghuang could deal with the Empress Dowager, there was no need for it.

unless……

She felt that the Empress Dowager had poisoned her.

"But Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the actions of the Empress Dowager, she is very taboo about the secrets of Shanyuan Temple, otherwise she would not have been giving generous gifts to Shanyuan Temple for many years. After hearing the news of the accident in Shanyuanguan, she even fainted and fell ill on the spot! If so, why should the people behind the scenes pretend to be a concubine and not deal with her directly?"

Chunjia glanced at her, and said lightly: "Since Xie Shiba left, you have been obedient and doting to Xiao Cui's mother and daughter very much. What can you be afraid of them?"

Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, feeling sorry for her. What Chunjia meant was that the reason why the Empress Dowager bestows the Shanyuan Temple every year may not be because she was pinned down, but it may be because of... guilt?

The question is, why is the empress dowager so guilty?

Didn't the earliest group of people in Shanyuan Temple get replaced?

To be ashamed should also be the earlier concept of Shanyuan, not the current one?

"According to your previous speculation, the former people of Shanyuanguan should have participated in Sejong's seizure of the heirloom in his later years, and helped Shenzong and his wife." Chunjia said, "Later, Heguan was probably silenced for this reason...Since It has been silenced, and Shenzong has already ascended the throne. In this way, people who know some important secrets are exiled outside and threaten the royal family. Why do they have to re-arrange people to enter Shanyuan Temple and maintain this Taoist temple? Moreover, there are no secrets, such as After Shenzong ascended the throne, the massacre of siblings is even more appalling and should not be spread?"

The emperor said slowly, "Furthermore, the first emperor of Shenzong was capable of poisoning even his closest relatives. If someone took advantage of him, would he be subdued?"

That is absolutely impossible.

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, it wasn't just Shenzong, even the weakest son of heaven, after being threatened by someone, his first thought would definitely be to kill the grass and roots.

How could it be so grasped?

She pondered, then heard the emperor say again: "Forget it, the emperor's grandmother wakes up tomorrow, I'll go over and ask."

"...Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang calmed down, and said, "It's just...it's all here, and I don't know if the Empress Dowager is willing to be honest with her?"

Although Chunjia holds the dominant power now, at the age and status of the Empress Dowager, there are indeed not many things that can threaten her.

After all, the Ji family has already been destroyed, and the name after her death is almost the same. She herself has lived for so long. If the emperor doesn't behave like a human being, he can't drag his heir-grandmother out to be punished?

So if she insists on taking the secret into the coffin, no one can do anything about it.

"Give it a try." Chunjia thought for a while, then said, "Maybe she still wants me to help her a little bit?"

The emperor left without staying for too long that day. Before he left, he thought about it and thanked Yun Fenghuang, "I plan to execute him Ling Chi to make an example. Xie Fu forgets to be his heir. For the sake of raising it with your own hands, give me a whole corpse."

Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, of course she didn't have any opinion on Xie Wuzheng's result, and she even wished to go up to perform the operation herself.

Shaffer forgot...

This child who she watched grow up and named herself, and appointed the princess as his fiancée...

Forget it, after all, he is not a brother and blood, no matter how young and pitiful, is he still allowed to occupy the position of the fourth family's great-grandson?

"I thank Your Majesty for his insight, and return my brother's innocence." She quickly made a choice, and blessed her calmly, "It's just that Princess Jinxi..."

Chunjia said "Yes", "I will talk to Yunan."
