Chapter 231: The Daughters of the Xie Family

Yun Fenghuang went to Xingxintang again, sensitively aware that the atmosphere here was much tenser.

This made her heart sink. Chunjia is neither the new king nor the young master. He was in charge at fifteen and twenty-three. Now is his most brilliant age, mature enough and stable enough.

Although this shocking change surprised almost everyone, the front court and the harem firmly believed that he could handle it.

But King Mao's absconding, the defeat in the first battle, the assassination of the crown prince and the change of the imperial army... a series of blows still inevitably made everyone doubtful.

"Your Majesty, is the crown prince okay?" Because the emperor was explaining things to his courtiers, she waited in the side hall for a while before entering, where Chunjia was pinching her forehead, showing a rare lack of expression.

Yun Fenghuang was blessed, went up to help him rub, and asked softly, "They are all rebellious officials and thieves with ulterior motives. Those who clean themselves will clear themselves, and the world will understand."

Chunjia closed her eyes, and said slowly: "There is no fear of life, but it seems that he was not lightly frightened... After all, he is younger and has never seen these battles, so he was frightened. I just asked someone to give him soothing soup, But I hope he slows down for a few days."

Gong Xiangbing is not very old, but Yun Fenghuang would not believe it if he said that he had never seen this battle before.

Not to mention that this little thing has been dormant for these years, but it has been tortured a lot.

It's not like Gongxiang Bing didn't come to the ground when the palace changed, why didn't he experience it?

He was the only one who was assassinated. If the palace transformation was successful, even if he, the prince, was safe at the time, he would be in bad luck afterwards!

At that time, the queen was too busy to take care of herself, and it was too late to protect King Chongxin and the twelve princes, so where did she get the time to feel sorry for him?

Why didn't you see Gongxiang Bing crying and timid at that time?

Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that this kid was probably just pretending, just to win the emperor's sympathy.

The timing was just right, after all, he was a prince, not an ordinary prince, and he was not usually loved by Chunjia. If he behaved weakly in normal times, the emperor would have to be disappointed. If he lost his sacred heart, Gong Xiangbing would not have a good life.

But this time is different, this is what happened on the way back to the imperial capital with Shengjia. Although the emperor is safe and sound, he must be full of anger. Now seeing the prince being assassinated and injured, the fifteen-year-old heir is terrified. To some extent, he didn't take good care of him, and besides feeling guilty, didn't he just feel distressed?

"Sure enough, this little thing can't be ignored, so there are many tricks." Yun Fenghuang was annoyed in his heart, "At first, His Majesty only admired him for his talent and temperament, but he didn't have much love for father and son, at least not much at present. But He is selling miserably at the slightest chance, and he comes here a few times, and he gets along with each other often, his biological father and son, if there is a estrangement, that's all there is to it, after a long time, how can His Majesty treat him carelessly?"

At that time, Gongxiang Bing's position as the crown prince will become more and more difficult to shake!

She was anxious in her heart, but she didn't show any emotion on her face. She sighed and said, "This thief is really insane! Fortunately, the ancestors and ancestors have protected you, and your majesty and the prince are safe and sound, otherwise the people in the palace would be safe. Don't know what to do?"

He also asked if the prince's things were complete, "Let me send some medicinal materials to the concubine, and teach the imperial physician who is serving at the East Palace to see everything before sending it in, so that the prince will not worry."

"You are his empress, so it is natural to care about him. Why are you so defensive?" Chunjia relaxed her brows. Although she knew that the empress was just talking for a while, she might still feel that the prince didn't just die suddenly on the spot, but he I don't want to expose it, if there are no accidents, whether he will die in a while, let's slowly mediate between the mother and son.

The emperor was not ignorant, the conflict between Yun Fenghuang and Gong Xiangbing was difficult to reconcile, but the authorities were obsessed, he didn't want to give up the heir to the dynasty he admired, nor did he want the queen he loved to end well, so he could only bite the bullet Persuaded from it.

At this moment, he was talking insincerely, and asked Yun Fenghuang how the two days' palace was.

"There's nothing wrong in the palace." Yun Fenghuang said in his heart that if there is something, I won't say anything now, otherwise something will happen as soon as you leave, how incompetent I seem?

She said slowly, "I went to pay my respects to the emperor's grandmother before I died. Thanks to her grace, it is an unforgivable crime for King Mao to turn black and white. Originally, the emperor's grandmother wanted to come forward to reprimand this traitor. It's just You also know that the emperor's grandmother has recently violated the harmony of the phoenix body, so she asked the concubine to act on her behalf to make a decree and pass it on to the world, so as to set the record straight!"

"I'm sorry, Ah Huang." Chun Jia nodded slightly, not surprised that Yun Fenghuang could make the Empress Dowager let go.

However, he didn't care much about the effect that this kind of imperial edict could achieve. After all, with the rise of the army, the status of the empress dowager was not very easy to use.

In particular, Shenzong's edict clearly stated that the Empress Dowager was not Xiaozong's biological mother, and that Xiaozong was adopted. To be honest, people who believe in the edict today are also full of doubts about the Empress Dowager.

After all, whether the Empress Dowager gave birth to an imperial heir, she didn't know in her mind?

Knowing that Xiaozong is not of royal blood, but allowing this fake son to be the emperor for many years, being admired and worshiped by all people, what is his intention?

Combined with the fact that Empress Xiaozong Yuan was the direct niece of the Empress Dowager, and the Ji family was even more powerful in Xiaozong's reign...

The Empress Dowager is not innocent at all, nor can she be innocent.

Right now, her role as Empress Shenzong Yuan is greatly reduced, which is why Chunjia didn't seek out the Empress Dowager from the beginning.

He saw very clearly that this kind of thing can only be judged right or wrong by weapons.

But since the empress is in the deep palace, since she has contributed her strength, she must be encouraged.

After the two talked for a while, Yun Fenghuang saw that he still had other things to do, so he left.

Returning to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion with a lot of worries, seeing the situation on the left and right, he comforted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he will surely be able to put down the rebellion smoothly."

After the crown prince was assassinated, the imperial court charged Prince Mao and other vassals without much investigation, and officially declared them to be traitors.

At the same time, it calls on the people of the world to attack it together.

Of course, King Mao was not polite, not only denied the assassination of Sheng Jia and the prince, but also thought it was the court, no, Chun Jia directed and acted himself, the purpose was to confuse right and wrong.

Taking Shenzong's edict as proof, they insisted that Chunjia and his sons were the thieves who stole the throne, and they also called on the people of the world to attack them together.

Nowadays people in the world are more confused to tell the truth...

It's not that no one is willing to rise up with the sword, be the pioneer of the king, and go to battle to kill the enemy. The key is that both sides claim that they are the orthodox, and the other side is a traitor. This... If the choice is wrong, it will help the rebellious officials and traitors instead?

Just at a loss.

Not only the people of the world, but even the forbidden army and even the frontier army were a little at a loss.

"I hope." Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help sighing, and said, "If you want to enter the palace suddenly, this palace will draw up an imperial edict on behalf of the empress dowager."

Xie Meng is quite talented in calligraphy, so Yun Fenghuang asked her to ghostwrite all the important documents over the years.

After being registered as the empress, she even directly appointed this niece as a female official in the middle palace, and usually did not disturb the young couple's life, and when they needed to use pen and ink, they called her to serve the pen and ink.

Xie Meng received the news that day, and went to the palace to see his aunt.

"Auntie, I met my grandmother two days ago, and my grandmother asked me a lot about my husband." Xie Meng was also very close to Jiang Shi in the past, but Jiang Shi had been missing for many years, and she grew up in front of Yun Fenghuang. But closer to my aunt.

At this moment, while studying the ink, he casually reported, "There are many details that I have been questioning back and forth, and I have told my grandmother."

"Let's talk about it." Yun Fenghuang said absently, "Could it be that your grandmother will harm us?"

Xie Meng hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I just wondered why grandma suddenly asked these questions?"

"Your grandmother naturally has her intentions." Yun Fenghuang said in his heart that his mother was detained in the other courtyard in Gyeonggi. Although the news from the outside world is not completely cut off, there are definitely many details that are not well understood. Restoring freedom, how can we not make up for it twice?

Xie Meng's husband, Deng Chengzhai, was a young courtier who was close to the emperor, so it was normal for the Jiang family to be interested in him.

But these are not the same as the niece of the Chengfu, who just said, "That is your husband-in-law, who was chosen by me, not your grandmother. Of course, she has to ask clearly before she can rest assured."

"Auntie's eyes, grandma isn't at ease?" Xie Meng thought about it, so he said with a smile, "Besides, my husband treats me very well."

Yun Fenghuang smiled, she hasn't fallen yet, who would dare to treat her niece badly?

In particular, Xie Meng is still "The Queen's favorite niece".

Seeing her disapproval, Xie Meng emphasized: "During the days when my aunt moved to Xuanqing Palace, my husband was more considerate to me, and tried to plead with His Majesty for my aunt many times, but His Majesty did not agree."

"These words will deceive you, an ignorant child." Yun Fenghuang was too lazy to give this niece advice, but after hearing this, he couldn't help it, sighed, and said, "Deng Chengzhai was a companion for His Majesty. People who read it, can they still not understand His Majesty's thoughts? At that time, with the tacit understanding between him and His Majesty, it would be strange for him to speak like this!"

It can't be said that Deng Chengzhai didn't care about her aunt's life or death, he should have known it in his heart, the emperor didn't mean to put Yun Fenghuang to death, but rather defended her.

So it doesn't matter if he doesn't intercede. It can even be said that interceding with words is useless except to make the emperor feel that he has no tacit understanding with him.

But this does not mean that Yun Fenghuang can indulge him to fool his niece to this extent.

After a while, Yi's decree was drawn up and he watched Xie Meng leave angrily. Chi E asked worriedly: "If Miss Meng starts a fight with Mrs. Deng, is it a long-standing couple with a child, I'm afraid it will end badly?"

"Deng Chengzhai's heart, is it easy to coax Meng'er?" Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "It's just to tell him to spend some effort, to be less prone. I don't expect to make Meng'er grow up much because of this, but it's just Hit Deng Chengzhai once, tell him not to think that Meng Er is naive, so he can play tricks wantonly."

After saying this, he pondered for a while, and asked someone to ask, "What else did mother do these days besides inquiring about Deng Chengzhai with Meng'er?"

Chen Jing went to ask for a while, and then came to report, saying that the Jiang family has met all the daughters of the Xie family recently, and they have carefully asked about marriage, husband-in-law, etc. Whether the granddaughter and niece's marriage is satisfactory and whether the life is comfortable.

Because of Jiang's actions, Xie's daughter, who was originally somewhat disjointed, became united.

Even the initial uproar and secret dissatisfaction caused by the death of Xie Wuzheng and his son gradually dissipated.

Yes, the death of Xie Wuzheng's father and son, Xie Lan and other Xie's daughters are actually against it.

After all, the main branch of the Xie Clan is in disrepair. The only adult Xie Wuzheng, Xie Lan and others feel that no matter what he did wrong, he should be given another chance. It's not that they don't know how to feel sorry for Yun Fenghuang, the main reason is that these women grew up listening to the teachings that their fathers and brothers really rely on.

When the city of Huizhou was destroyed, they all lost their father, brother, and elders overnight, and they have been in a state of panic ever since.

After years of being told by ear to ear, Xie Wuzheng, the only adult male heir, is unavoidably very important.

Even Yun Fenghuang had no doubts about Xie Wuzheng at the beginning, so why didn't he be subtly influenced to think that adult male heirs who are related by blood are extremely important?

Therefore, for Xie Wuzheng's death, Xie Lan and the others are very sorry and reluctant.

Especially Xie Fuwang, this is still a child, he didn't do anything bad, and he grew up in front of Yun Fenghuang, with the Xie family's current population declining, why bother to kill them all?

Of course, these were all their private thoughts, no one dared to say that to Yun Fenghuang.

It's just that after listening to his subordinates mentioning it twice, Yun Fenghuang felt that he had lost his mind by relying on the family, and became more and more disheartened, so he didn't bother to pay attention to these people.

Hearing that Jiang Shi seemed to be trying to make up for her relationship with her sister, aunt and nephew, she couldn't help curling her lips. If someone else did this, she would definitely think that the other party would be fine if they were full.

But since he is his own mother, even though he was not very happy, he accepted her kindness and only sighed: "What use is the idea of ​​the picker to me?"

After thinking about it, I felt that with my own mother's temperament, it seems that she is not the one who has suffered a loss and is rushing to make up for her smile?

I was also a little worried, so I asked people to look at Xie Lan and the others more, "At least sisters, aunts and nephews are together, even if there is a gap between each other, there is no need to be cruel... It's fine if mother teaches you a normal lesson, but if... Just stop it."

Her own mother was never willing to suffer.

He is even more focused on taking advantage of his children's affairs, and cannot tolerate any grievances.

Touching the remaining conscience, Yun Fenghuang realized belatedly that Jiang's approaching these Xie's daughters to get close to them might be uneasy...
