Chapter 162 The Corners of the Mouth Are Slightly Curved

"So Your Majesty, don't talk about letting the concubine leave the palace." Yun Fenghuang closed her eyes, the moonlight clearly showed the tears at the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Since drinking that bowl of potion, this Miyagi As a concubine, I can’t get out. As for Qi Jiulu, it was no longer possible when the two families dissolved their marriage. And after he married Chao’s daughter, the concubine and him are like enemies!”

She opened her eyes and looked at the emperor beside her, "I know that Your Majesty doesn't believe me. After all, I have told you many times that I and Qi Jiulu are childhood sweethearts. Your Majesty has experienced this kind of relationship and knows it personally." How deep."

"But Your Majesty, the Xie family, who was born as a concubine, has a thriving heir, which is completely different from the single lineage of King Fuyang."

"There is more than one Qi Jiulu who grew up together!"

"The Xie clan separated men and women into rankings in the early generations. My concubine was ranked seventeen in this generation. On that day, I accidentally bumped into Princess Minghui's youngest brother, ranked twenty-three, and my cousin Jiang's son, ranked No. Seven... In addition, there are many aunts, aunts, sister-in-laws, aunts, brothers and sisters."

"Your Majesty, please think about how lively my concubine was when she was young?"

As if recalling the carefree days that day, a heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but it quickly disappeared and turned into a grim smile, "Your Majesty's childhood sweetheart is only Yue Xiuyuan, so Yue Xiuyuan will always be special. Concubine The body is different, the concubine’s childhood sweetheart, there are too many——Your Majesty, I dare to take the concubine’s niece to assure you that Qi Jiulu’s position in the concubine’s heart is not as important as you think.”

"After all... there are so many things, it's not surprising, isn't it?"

"Three years ago, the most heartbreaking thing for this concubine was not the dissolution of the engagement with Qi Jiulu. Otherwise, why would the concubine agree to come to the Imperial Capital alone and stay at my aunt's house to be married?"

"What hurts me the most is that Xie's daughter's reputation is notorious. No, even my concubine's family, the Jiang family, has also been greatly implicated."

"Your Majesty knows how many cousins ​​my concubine was at that time. They were either negotiating marriage, or had already found a husband and son-in-law with both talents and looks, or even set a wedding date...but because of some people's calculations, it caused The concubine's concubine sister was schemed against, and she was called a slut, so that..."

She shivered slightly, and seemed to be a little unbearable at this moment, "to the extent that these sisters who were at their young age and did nothing wrong were either sent to the family temple, or were rushed out of the cabinet, or...or Because he couldn't stand the wind and rain all over the city, he hanged himself?!"

"Furthermore, the cousin who committed suicide, after a hasty funeral, was thrown dirt in front of the grave as a humiliation... But that cousin has always been cautious in her words and deeds. After the age of 10, even the first cousins, never speak in private!"

Yun Fenghuang could not restrain his sobs and said, "The situation has plummeted, so it was not just my cousin who wanted to die at that time? The concubine was actually among them, but after hearing that the grave of my cousin was treated like that, As a concubine... I don't want to die anymore!!!"

She suddenly turned around and pointed in the direction of Duke Yi's mansion, "But this concubine never expected it! I hugged those people who had no grievances in the Northland and hoped that I would die, and after death, I would even ask for a place to die." Being insulted, the concubine's idea of ​​living a good life came to the imperial capital, but she still couldn't escape the unreasonable disaster!!!"

"That's why, when I confronted Yue Xiuyuan at the beginning, Yue Xiuyuan's close servant revealed that after Qi Jiulu married Chao's daughter, the only thought I had was that if I risked my life, I would never let it go. To the dogs and men—how can Chao Shi kill my concubine's sister-in-law, Xie Shi and Jiang Shi, and then take away my concubine's original fiancé?!"

"It's not that the concubine has nostalgia for Qi Jiulu, it's just that the concubine absolutely cannot bear to lose to Chao's daughter!!!"

"Even if the things I don't want are destroyed, I can't take advantage of that lowly maidservant!"

"At that time, I was a newcomer in the palace, without any foundation, and today I don't know whether I will live or die tomorrow. Your Majesty, what do you think is the only way I can take revenge on them under such circumstances?"

Chunjia sighed and said nothing.

He asked himself, if he was Yun Fenghuang, since he had the will to die, but the enemy came to tease him, he would still have a private relationship with the other party if he wanted to refuse.

In this way, once the matter fails, although I have no good results, how can Qi Jiulu and his wife be kind?

Moreover, Duke Yi also changed Yun Fenghuang's clan, so Yun Fenghuang didn't have to worry about implicating the Xie family in doing so.

"At first, I just wanted to drag Qi Jiulu and the Chao family to die together." Yun Fenghuang continued, "So I rewarded Xinqing, the court lady at that time, in advance, thinking that I would tell her to hide nearby. If Qi Jiulu really came into the palace In the middle of the night, he yelled and attracted the guards so that he couldn't escape—but who knew that Qi Jiulu was sent into the harem by the prince regent himself!"

"Personally?" Chunjia chewed on these words, his expression darkened.

He had been a puppet for so many years before, and of course he understood that the reason why the government was entrusted to the regent and the Ji clan was that these parties were so powerful that he, a serious emperor, couldn't match him.

There was no room for him to speak in the previous dynasty, and even the harem was involved.

but……

Putting eyeliner on concubines, buying the guards, this kind of meddling in the harem, and the dignified Prince Regent's son personally leading the outsider to sneak into the harem are two different things!

Even if it is an ordinary wealthy family, the cousin who is eighteen or nine years old sneaks into the cousin's backyard with a married man, and privately meets the concubine Xinna of the cousin, all of which need to be solved by opening an ancestral hall, let alone the royal family? !

At this moment, Chunjia suddenly felt that it was good that she had no children under her knees.

After all, since Gong Xiangxiao was able to bring Qi Jiulu into the palace to meet Yun Fenghuang... who knows if he brought anyone else in?

And in the middle of the night, what would a vigorous young man do when he entered the harem of the palace full of court ladies?

The emperor now feels that the green cloud is covering the top...

He was extremely angry in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Then what? But the son of the regent prince blackmailed the concubine?"

Yun Fenghuang's tone was indifferent: "That's not true. After all, the son was worried that the regent would lose his elders and make a younger one. In order to plump up his wings, he wooed Qi Jiulu very much. Qi Jiulu is quite polite to his concubine, and he doesn't mean to be reluctant. Of course, the son is well-behaved." ...At that time, I was thinking that maybe the news I heard before was wrong, or it was only one-sided."

"It was not only the Chao family, but also the Qi family who set out to frame the concubine's concubine and concubine sister!"

"And what kind of activities are hidden behind these two families, what kind of real culprits are behind the scenes, it is even more thought-provoking!"

"If the Qi family had secretly formed an alliance with the Chao family early on, but didn't want to bear the reputation of treachery, so they joined forces with the Chao family to make a secret attack, which would ruin the reputation of the concubine's concubine and her sister. Let Qi Jiulu come to the Imperial Capital..."

She sneered, "Your Majesty, tell me, if the concubine hadn't entered the palace by accident, and knew that he had married Chao's daughter at the beginning of the year. Qi Jiulu came from a long way, who knows what he has experienced in the past three years in the Imperial Capital? He is already married? At that time, the concubine's aunt and uncle will be deceived by the rhetoric to promise the marriage, and the truth will be revealed after the door is passed, and the concubine will be suppressed as a concubine... At that time... what can the concubine do?!"

"Even if Mrs. Xie found out afterwards, she had to suffer from being dumb!"

Chunjia murmured, "You suspect Qi Jiulu?"

"Shouldn't my concubine doubt him?" Yun Fenghuang asked back, "Qi Jiulu claimed to have entered the Prince Regent's Mansion as soon as he came to the Imperial Capital, or Lai Cuiyuan, who specially entertains important guests in the Prince Regent's Mansion. It is true that he is well-known in the Northland as a talented person." , but this kind of reputation is probably because people want to flatter the Qi family, and the flattery words cannot be taken seriously! How old is he this year? Being cited as a confidant by the Prince Regent's son, treat him with courtesy?!"

"My concubine suspects that the Qi family has long been a member of the regent, and even under the regent's command, the status is not low!"

"That's why Qi Jiulu, the eldest son, received the unanimous attention of the Prince Regent and his son!"

She sneered, "Three years ago, Qi Jiulu kept saying that he didn't want to retire, but he didn't want to stay at home... At that time, my biological mother told my concubine that it was all an excuse. He is the eldest son of the Qi family. If you really don't want it My life has to be with my concubine, how can Qi watch him die?! So from that moment, my concubine told herself that Quan Dang had never known this person before."

"Now that I think about it, what happened three years ago, Ruoguo Qi was really on my side, Xie, even if you don't use the power of the Regent's Palace to quell the rumors, arrange the concubine and Qi Jiulu to come to the imperial capital far away, to avoid rumors, When you grow up, get married, and go back when you have children, then time has passed, who will ignorantly rummage through old sesame seed and rotten millet?"

"The Qi family has been sitting and watching my Xie family and Jiang family get into trouble, and innocent people are reduced to death!"

"Your Majesty, do you think it's unreasonable for me to be suspicious?"

Yun Fenghuang tilted his head, and the coldness in his eyes became more intense, "So I didn't expose their actions immediately... After all, His Majesty was not yet in charge at that time, and I was worried that if this matter got out, even if I couldn't live with Qi Jiulu and his wife However, the Prince Regent’s son is still safe and sound. Letting go of this possible culprit, I’m not reconciled!!!”

She estimated in her heart and felt that the blame that should be dumped was almost done, so she slowly turned around and faced Chunjia, "I was very greedy before my sister's accident. I want to be carefree at home." A grown-up, well-groomed out of the court, and her husband and son-in-law raised their eyebrows until they grew old, her parents-in-law treated her as her own, sisters-in-law and uncles were well-behaved, sensible and obedient, and had both children and were healthy, intelligent and filial..."

"As long as the world thinks it is good, I want it all!"

"The concubine was still young at that time, and she was favored by her family, so she thought she was worthy of these things."

"Later... the concubine actually only had one thing in mind: revenge!"

"That's why Qi Jiulu bid farewell to my concubine through the Prince Regent's son, and went away to the Dingbei Army, and my concubine lost her composure... Without him in the imperial capital, the regent's son didn't look down on my concubine at all, so how could he gossip with my concubine?"

"Then how do I find out, who is responsible for this group of sisters who have fallen to this point?!"

Her eyes rolled, she took a step forward suddenly, stretched out her hand to caress Chunjia's face, and smiled lowly, "I have been thinking about it, and I can only focus on your majesty... After all, I want to give my concubine If this group of sisters asks for justice, now, besides counting on His Majesty, who else can I count on?!"

Chunjia looked down at her.

After a while, he reached out and grabbed her hand that was caressing his face, and stretched his arms to embrace her in his arms.

Hearing the Son of Heaven's pitiful sigh, Yun Fenghuang obediently leaned on his shoulder, where he couldn't see, the corner of his mouth was slightly curved.

There is no emotion in the eyes.
