Chapter 254 Regret

Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you say that after he went back, no one dared to ask me, let alone mention Dijing? Then why did you know that he invited me to go far away?"

Qi Jiuzhang sneered and said: "Is it possible that such a big matter, you think brother can do it by himself? Although he had contacts with the nobles inside and outside the palace at that time, he also used some family members. Other things are fine. , such a big matter, how could it be possible to hide such a big matter from my father?! I heard what my father said. Otherwise, how would I know that you are unlucky? I thought you were forced to, but you are destined to have nothing to do with my brother!"

"..." Yun Fenghuang's eyes were as misty as smoke, and then he said, "I don't want to mention this matter again, but since you mentioned your brother, it's okay to tell you: you also know that he was able to invite people back then." In the deep palace, I traveled far away to have contacts with the nobles inside and outside the palace? Then, do you know who he contacts?"

Seeing that Qi Jiuzhang was at a loss, she suddenly sneered, "He contacted Yun Qike and Yuanhou! The former is the son of the Duke of Yi, and the latter is the daughter of the Ji family! These two don't say anything else, only about their origins, which one is the most important thing?" Is it a good relationship? Your brother was in a daze at the time, and he stayed with me wholeheartedly, regardless of any consequences! I don’t even think about it, if I really agreed with him, would I turn around and be sold? Just Yi Guogong As far as the status before His Majesty is concerned, the Ji family has a lot of ways to sell our two families completely, and even pick ourselves up clean!"

"At that time, if we don't consider each other's family, how can the two of us get along well?"

"Especially Empress Yuan, what misunderstanding do you have about Ji's methods? Just look at Xie Wuzheng... Oh yes, maybe you don't know about Xie Wuzheng? Let me just say it briefly, what Xie Wuzheng said His talents and abilities are all deceiving, it was all because he was bought and threatened by the Ji family when he first came to the imperial capital, and even the ruin of my eighteenth brother was all because of Ji's deliberate effort to let him gain my trust and reliance !"

"At that time, the Ji family was still in full swing, so they just planned for a rainy day!"

"How inconspicuous was Xie Wuzheng at the time? Where's your brother?"

"Based on his past with me, can Mrs. Ji let him go?!"

"He still wants to take me to Fulin... huh... is it possible? My mother is a clear example. If I agree to go with him, I'm afraid I will be like my mother. I don't know where the two are imprisoned. , being given what is given and what is taken away, there is no right to bargain at all!"

"It's even just me or him being locked up alone, forcing another person to go through life and death..."

Yun Fenghuang sighed, "I am very touched by your elder brother's affection for me, but since I entered the palace, since I became the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, I have valued him... In fact, my fate with him cannot continue."

Qi Jiuzhang was silent for a moment, then suddenly became furious: "You are talking nonsense! You must have only known about Xie Wuzheng in the past two years, otherwise how could you have allowed him to roam free for so many years?! If this is the case, how could you have known about Ji's in the first place? So ruthless?! If you don’t go with my brother, it’s just because you don’t want to be rich in the court! You don’t deserve my brother’s wishes at all!”

"..." Yun Fenghuang looked at him quietly for a while, and said a little tiredly, "Maybe."

She leaned back and said softly, "I am indeed not as affectionate as your brother. I can be desperate just to be with the person I like... But the reason why I didn't go with him at that time was that there was an important reason... The reason, in fact, is that I really liked him at the time."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have reminded Qi Jiulu not to trust her mother Jiang Shi.

Because the Jiang family was uneasy and kind to him, or in other words, the Jiang family acted as a loving elder to Qi Jiulu, just to get revenge and revenge for the Qi family's resignation.

Yun Fenghuang recalled the past, and said lightly, "My mother, Mrs. Jiang, told me when I was very young that there are very few men in this world who will be devoted to their wives. , It’s okay. In this world, women don’t only care about their husband’s love and affection, but also have many other things and powers that can be managed. I always think this is very reasonable, after all, you should also know, How envied my mother is in the Northland."

Qi Jiuzhang was stunned and said nothing, of course he knew how good Jiang's reputation is in the Northland.

Back then, the reason why the head of the Qi family hired Qi Jiulu to marry Yun Fenghuang was actually because of Jiang's reputation, thinking that such a mistress would definitely be able to teach a perfect daughter-in-law that met the needs of a family like them.

"So even if my childhood sweetheart and I were still in love with your brother at that time, and he seemed to be devoted to me, I never expected him to treat me well for the rest of his life." Yun Fenghuang's words made Qi Jiuzhang laugh angrily: "Then what do you think? What do you want my brother to do? Take out my heart and give it to you?! He just didn’t encounter something like yesterday, otherwise you think he would hesitate to block your arrow?!”

Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "People's hearts are changeable. Love is like a treasure today, and it is nothing new to throw away tomorrow. I never deny your brother's feelings for me when he was young, but this does not affect my worry about getting along After many years he will get bored."

Qi Jiuzhang sneered and said: "You think everyone is the one you are serving now, and if your childhood sweetheart says you are in the cold, will you be in the cold?"

"At that time, I liked your brother, but I have no affection for today." Yun Fenghuang ignored his sarcasm, and said calmly, "The reason why I didn't go with your brother is because I was afraid that your brother would change his mind in the future. , even if I had been prepared for a long time, even if I was not easy to bully... In the end, it was inevitable to be sad. At that time, I already realized why my mother taught me early on. It is almost impossible for a man to be single-minded, because he never expects, just It won't hurt. It's just like my mother received such instructions from my grandmother when I was young. Therefore, my father doted on the Qin family in those years. Instead of being angry, my mother appreciated the Qin family and raised her concubine daughter under her knees , regard it as my own, to fulfill my virtuous reputation..."

The queen let out a sigh of relief, "I have seen such an example. Before the Qi family retired, I also thought about my relationship with your brother. One day, it will be like my father and mother. He will accept many concubines. I will give birth to concubines, and I will choose one or two, and raise them under my knees with my own concubines, to show my virtuous, virtuous, tolerant and magnanimous, so as to seek a better marriage for my children... I never thought that your elder brother and I would love each other for the rest of our lives as childhood sweethearts!"

"But after your brother came to the Imperial Capital, I regretted it."

"I can't imagine that a young man who had such a passion for me will treat me coldly and distantly, and even hate each other..."

Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, before continuing, "I only imagined such a situation, and I couldn't stand it. As for today, at that time, I thought he was just someone who had to be coaxed in order to make a living in the harem. If he could be coaxed If you can't be coaxed, as I said just now, I am willing to gamble and admit defeat, and I don't feel bad."

Qi Jiuzhang looked at her and said in disbelief: "It's because of such absurdity that you have caused your brother to suffer all these years? You yourself, in the palace all these years, said that everything went smoothly, but you really didn't encounter anything that made you Regretted and annoyed, I gave up my brother back then?"

"Of course there is." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "In the first two years, not only did I encounter things, but I didn't encounter anything. Every time I saw the sweet-scented osmanthus trees and fireflies in the courtyard, I would think of being accompanied by him when I was young. Those scenes...then I gradually forgot about it."

Qi Jiuzhang said: "Is it because the emperor treats you better and better?"

Yun Fenghuang glanced at him in surprise: "Am I the kind of person who puts all my hopes on men? Of course it's because my enemies are getting stronger and there are more and more high-ranking people who need to be murdered. miss the past."

"..." Although Qi Jiuzhang was full of resentment towards her, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment when he heard this.

After a while, he said, "Then do you regret it now?"

Before the Queen could speak, he laughed at himself and said, "You are already a mother, so why do you regret it?"

"...I regret it now." Unexpectedly, Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, and said, "I rejected your brother back then because I felt that I might not be able to win his heart for the rest of my life. Jing Rubing, it's better to be separated when you are young. Even if he has countless wives and concubines in the future, he will still remember me. If I had known that today I would not care about life and death for me, it seems that I left with him back then, and it might not be bad. to the end."

Qi Jiuzhang: "..."

He doesn't even know what to say?

Yun Fenghuang said in a low voice: "Oh, just kidding, after all, such wealth as my mother's favor in the world can't be given to any man who admires me. Deceitful, without your elder brother, there are other young men who admire me... So the love of men is not unique to me, and it is not even rare. It is Fengzuo, which can only be given by Jinshang. I am very concerned about the current situation and status Satisfaction, regret is impossible. Not only do you not regret it, but when you look back on the past, you even feel that you have a unique vision and profound blessings, and you deserve this good fortune!"

Qi Jiuzhang: "........."

"After you go back, you should think about it. If you are really found out, then pass the responsibility to the late prince." Yun Fenghuang stood up, "Let's say, the prince urged you to move Li Conglong's meritorious service." Thoughts, let you find an opportunity to assassinate Ben Gong... As for whether you can shirk responsibility, it depends on your blessing. After all, you did it yourself, and Ben Gong can only help Your family is here."

She went out, stood at the door, and then went back directly.

The Empress Dowager may have told the secrets that had been accumulated in her heart for many years, and she was surprisingly generous even though time was running out. When Yun Fenghuang went to talk about Qi Jiuzhang, she didn't even bother to listen to it. The queen dealt with it, she was not interested in talking too much.

Yun Fenghuang didn't dare to remind her that yesterday the Empress Dowager swore that she would not hide this matter from Chunjia.

But since the royal elder made such a promise, she couldn't help but thank her.

When going out, Yun Fenghuang remembered, and asked the palace man guarding the gate: "Has the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, been here these two days?"

The palace man said that he came here yesterday evening.

"The empress dowager is really a loving mother." Yun Fenghuang then understood why it took only one night, and the empress dowager changed her mind.

I'm afraid Empress Dowager Yuan begged a lot.

Thinking of the mutual calculations between himself and the queen mother over the years, and the reason why the other party's attitude has changed drastically, Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly. Before, he felt that King Jin was around, and King Zhen and Princess Kang An were dispensable, but now they don't. I think so.

After all, judging from King Jin's temperament, there is still the possibility of tit for tat.

Now she is enjoying the Queen Mother Yuan's patience for Chunjia, who knows if King Jin will come to pamper a certain little ancestor in the future and make her vomit blood?

It’s just that I don’t know in the future. Anyway, at this moment, I imagine that the next king of Jin will make her unhappy because of her favorite concubine or empress. She just wants to change her son to sit on the throne and drive King Jin down to fend for herself...

Therefore, not only the king of Zhen had a good birth, but also the king of Qin, the king of Wei, and the king of Yan also had to win over carefully.

In the future, Jin Wang dares to be disobedient and try it!

She Yun Fenghuang is not the Queen Mother Yuan!

Otherwise, if I were to fall into the situation of the loving mother and empress dowager, I would feel a pain in the ass just thinking about it...

It's so frustrating.

The matter of Qi Jiuzhang was suppressed by the empress dowager, the empress dowager and Yun Fenghuang.

After the palace change, King Mao and other rebels thought that the court suffered such a huge loss, the emperor was seriously injured, and the prince died. Even if the center did not immediately go into chaos, the morale should be low, so that the army could not be defeated.

Who knows what happened next, but the central government inexplicably stabilized.

On the contrary, they have leaked military information one after another, losing again and again.

King Mao and the others had joined forces hastily at first, and for a while, all the vassals suspected each other of being spies planted by the imperial court, or they would simply be bought secretly by the imperial court and betray their information.

In short, the situation is tilting towards the court at a rapid speed.

Seeing such a situation, Yun Fenghuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the Empress Dowager has already ordered the people left behind by the late Emperor Shenzong in private. In this way, the overall situation is safe and just around the corner.

But at this time, as Chunjia's injury improved, before returning to the imperial capital, a courtier finally came forward, asking for the crown prince's death as an excuse, so as to calm the hearts of the people.

Chunjia didn't get angry, nor did she turn a blind eye to it, but stayed for two days and ordered someone to pass the audience to Yun Fenghuang.
