Chapter 200 Stealing Grace
Yun An's pupils suddenly shrank!
She suddenly raised her head to look at Yun Fenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang looked calm.
After a moment of stalemate, Princess Yun'an took a deep breath and got up: "I'm sorry to bother you, I suddenly remembered something..."
"Is it more important than answering my question?" Yun Fenghuang asked back, "Or do you think that your majesty will not be clear about something that this palace will be happy with?"
Seeing Yun An not stopping, she turned her thoughts, and said with a half-smile, "Or do you think that if you continue to cover up at this point, you will still have a chance of a good death?"
"I'm giving you a chance because Jinxi is the one I grew up watching."
"If you don't want it, forget it."
While speaking, Yun An had already walked to the gate of the palace, she paused for a while, closed her eyes, but did not continue to step out, but said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, can you really handle it?"
"After the death of Empress Xiaozong Yuan, people in the world have been talking about His Majesty." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "You have all seen these things. Now Minghui is leaving. If at this time, Xiaozong's blood is not good Didn’t the news just cause trouble for His Majesty? Speaking of which, you three sisters are just women, and you can’t threaten His Majesty, whether it’s Your Majesty or this Palace, why should you have to make things difficult for you? Besides, other people don’t talk about it. Let's just say that my nieces and daughters have lived in the palace for many years, and the food and drink expenses are said to be part of my palace, but in fact, I will also give them a share of the things that the emperors and daughters have. When did His Majesty care about it?"
"Your Majesty is magnanimous, but he hates being deceived the most, isn't he?"
Yun An smiled wryly, then turned around and looked at her: "But I don't believe your mother's words."
Yun Fenghuang frowned, and wanted to say something, but she continued, "But I know what your mother is doing. Since you have exposed this matter, I actually have no choice."
She returned to her seat, picked up some cold tea, took a sip to calm her mind, and then said in a slightly trembling tone, "But actually, I don't know if it's true or not. I just...just really I can't bear Jinxi to meet Yushan!"
"Oh?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows.
Yun An didn't look at her, but stared at the palace brick not far away, and said in a low voice: "I know what your empress is doubting, doubting me, and even whether sister Sui'an and Minghui are from the blood of the first emperor? This question, to be honest After Yushan left, I didn't think about it at all. After all, the palace was strictly guarded, and at that time the only one who was able to pretend to be of royal blood was the Ji family. But with the emperor's grandmother here, how could the Ji family surpass her old man and do such a thing? Furthermore, the late emperor had no heirs, so if you let male heirs pretend to be, that's fine. What's the point of asking a few girls to pretend to be?"
"But Yushan was accidentally killed, and His Majesty personally ordered a thorough investigation, but the truth has not been revealed."
"The conjecture that was most recognized at the time, the empress must have known, was the suspicion that it was a remnant of Sejong's time... deliberate revenge on Shenzong's bloodline."
"But it's hard to find out about the old sesame seeds and rotten millet."
"Especially because His Majesty is inherited from a distant branch, so he doesn't know the situation, so there is no way to investigate."
Tears gradually appeared in the eldest princess's eyes, and she choked up, "Yushan is my first child, even if it's just a girl, I really treat her as my heart and soul! She's only so big, so small, she'll be gone if she doesn't ... If she grows up, does evil things, and is not tolerated by national laws and family rules, I will admit that I have no way to teach a daughter. But she is still a child who doesn't understand anything... I really can't figure out how anyone would want to Kill her? Even if she is really a descendant of Shizong's remnants, who hates Shenzong's blood, can't you kill me? Why did you want to kill Yushan?"
"Piansheng Huangcheng Division can't find out the real culprit!!!"
"I don't even have the chance to personally ask the culprit why he vented his grievances many years ago on a child!!!"
She closed her eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "At that time, there were too many things going on in the harem. I didn't dare to urge Your Majesty, but I was really unwilling, so..."
"I managed to contact Ji Minggan."
Hearing this long-lost name, Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "So you really...?"
"Our childhood sweethearts." Yun An calmed down at this time, and said lightly, "We had a crush on each other early in the morning, but sister Minghui liked him so clearly, I never dared to admit it, let alone promise anything to him. But he, at the beginning Before anything happened to Mrs. Ji, he didn't even look down on sister Minghui, and often went to find me privately avoiding the eyes of others...so even after something happened to Mrs. Ji, I still have a way to contact him."
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not just contact? Did you help him in private?"
"..." Yun'an was silent for a moment, did not answer this question, but said, "The Ji family has power in the court and the opposition for three dynasties, and the management of the former and harem is very profound. Moreover, when Shizong fought for the heirloom in his later years, the clan members of Shenzong in his early years Being slaughtered, they all witnessed it personally, and it is clearest."
After a pause, she said, "Ji Minggan's people told me that none of me, Sui'an, and sister Minghui are of the blood of the late emperor!"
"And this point, the royal family is very clear."
"So if you don't want your offspring to follow in the footsteps of Yushan, you can only let Jinxi Marriage be able to protect her husband-in-law."
The eldest princess said wearily, "Originally I wanted to send her to Weihe, even if it was bitterly cold outside the Great Wall, but in this case, even if Guochao knew her life experience, they would not kill her, even as long as she continued to love the country Chao, Guochao will protect her. But at the beginning, I failed to fight for the empress, so I had to settle for the next best thing, and let her forget the engagement with Xie Fu. I thought that by means of the empress, her life experience would be exposed in the future, as long as Xie Fu forgot I still like her, the empress loves her nephew, and she will never stand by and watch."
And as long as Yun Fenghuang is willing to protect Princess Jinxi, Yun An still trusts her very much.
"It's just that I didn't expect Xie Fuwang to actually..." Yun An smiled wryly, "Maybe this is my fate. I have lived through these years as a golden branch and jade leaf, and Jinxi was also exceptionally canonized as the princess, but the fake is False. No matter how tricky you are, it will be hard to keep wealth that doesn't belong to you!"
Yun Fenghuang had doubts in his heart for a long time, but he was not very shocked at the moment, he just frowned and said: "The royal family is very clear? Then why do you have to be the emperors for these years?"
"Naturally, it's aimed at the Ji clan!" Yun An said with a sneer, "Your Majesty is young, and I have never seen the Ji clan really cover the sky with one hand... Emperor Xiaozong is the son and grandson of the late Emperor Shenzong, who was brought by Shenzong's side since he was a child." He was trained by hand, but he was forced to die in depression by the Ji family... When he died, he was not yet the age of His Majesty! The lady said, can the Gongxiang family try to eradicate the Ji family? It's just that the Ji family was powerful at the time It's too big, and it's the emperor's family. In terms of power, wrist, and seniority, the first emperor Xiaozong was suppressed and breathless. Therefore, the first emperor Xiaozong thought of such a method of framing the royal family... ..."
"Left and right, our sisters are just girls, even if it turns out to be true, it will only let us enjoy wealth for a few years."
"It's nothing to hinder the throne."
"It's just that the late Emperor Xiaozong probably didn't expect that his carefully designed frame-up has not yet been launched, so he went first..."
Yun An's expression was complicated, "I didn't understand before. I just remember being taught by my mother-in-law to get closer to the emperor when I was a child, but I rarely had the opportunity to go to the imperial court. Even if I did, the emperor was very impatient and didn't want to be with us at all. Close. At that time, I thought that the father was eager for a son, but seeing that we were just girls, I was disappointed. Only later did I realize that it was because we were not of his blood."
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
She was a little speechless, "Since Emperor Xiaozong was suppressed in everything, even if he came to such a move, would there be trouble? At most, the Ji family would sacrifice one queen, and the family would push two or six or nine, and turn around and send another daughter into the palace to continue motherhood." Yitianxia?"
"I don't know about these things." Yun An said lightly, "We were still little girls at that time, how could we know so much? All I know is what Ji Minggan told me. But he was not in a good situation at the time. , her whereabouts are uncertain, and she only sent two letters in private, so she couldn't be contacted."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Where is the letter?"
"Of course it was destroyed." Yun An said, "If you keep it in case it is discovered, wouldn't the consequences be disastrous?"
It is true.
Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and said: "The three of you sisters are not of the blood of the first emperor... But why is it that only Minghui is particularly rounded by Ji Sheng's request? After Ji Sheng left, Minghui has become thinner and thinner in the past two years. I see She looks like Ji Sheng and the Empress Yuan, she is a typical daughter of the Ji family, but it is not a loophole?"
After all, Minghui is nominally the daughter of Xiaozong and Ji Sheng, so don't say she looks like Ji Sheng, even if she is not like Ji Sheng, it is normal to be like any Ji's bloodline.
On the contrary, Yun'an and Sui'an, the two sisters' looks... Well, they don't look like their biological mothers, nor do they look like Xiaozong.
If you are worried that the child's appearance will reveal the secret, shouldn't Yun'an and Sui'an need to cover it up?
"...I don't know." Yun An was stunned for a moment, and said, "My aunt before, I mean when Ji Cheng was still there, sister Minghui's basic necessities of life were all taken care of by her herself, and outsiders could neither intervene nor interfere. I understand too well. At that time we were young and not very sensible. Sister Minghui occasionally complained a few words about Ji Sheng forcing her to drink nourishing soup every day. .”
"It was only after Ji Sheng left that he vaguely realized something was wrong."
"But at that time, we had too many things to do, and we couldn't take care of them at all."
After a pause, she said, "At that time, sister Minghui's temperament changed drastically, and she didn't pay much attention to us. We didn't dare to ask her such a question."
"Really?" Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, then said, "Can you still contact Ji Minggan now?"
"It couldn't have happened two years earlier." Yun An shook his head, "Besides, when Weihe was defeated in the kingdom, didn't it mean that a lot of Ji's children died? Maybe he was among them?"
When she said this, her expression was very calm, and she couldn't tell if she still had any feelings for Ji Minggan.
Yun Fenghuang didn't ask further, and said: "I know, do you have anything else to tell me?"
"..." Yun An was silent for a while, and sighed, "It's useless to say anything now, I just hope that the empress can really feel sorry for Jinxi. As for myself... I am not of the Gongxiang family blood, steal Having enjoyed the favor of the royal family for many years, no matter what happens, it should be done."
