Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 164 On the Use of Eyeliner

Chunjia hurriedly stepped into the moon cave gate, and saw people leaning on the railing in the blue color of different shades, who seemed to gather chrysanthemums for clothing. The sweet osmanthus fragrance was filled with a faint bitterness and astringency. The unique atmosphere is more and more bleak, and the west wind is desolate.

He frowned slightly, motioned to the left and right to stop, walked forward alone, and said softly: "What is Aifei doing? Didn't it mean that you were sick? Why didn't you just rest in the room and come here to blow the air instead?"

"My concubine is sad in body and mind." Yun Fenghuang didn't look back, slowly shook the round fan, still looking outside the railing, and said softly, "It's better to blow air."

Chunjia looked along her line of sight, but there was a bunch of dead flowers in front of the chrysanthemum bushes, scattered all over the ground, compared with the blooming branches, it was even more desolate.

He thought about it, and asked slowly, "What's the matter?"

"Dead people can't be resurrected." Yun Fenghuang turned his head only at this time, gave him a sad look in his eyes, and slowly got up. She was dressed in gorgeous but thin clothes, and the wind was blowing for a while, and her unpainted cheeks showed a little blue, which contrasted with the gloomy color between her brows, and the word "sorrow" was written all over her body.

It's just that he didn't intend to go into details with the emperor, so he changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty should be busy with political affairs ahead of time, why did you suddenly come to the harem? But what's the matter?"

Chunjia concealed her doubts and said, "I heard that you are ill, so I came to see you."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this concubine has been learning how to host the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet with the empress these days." Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly, but when he said this, he restrained his previous depression and said nonchalantly, "Plus The guidance of some old people in the palace must not embarrass His Majesty and the empress dowager!"

"There is no rush for the feast, there will be other grand ceremonies after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Chunjia coughed dryly, implying that the reason why I put down my government affairs and came here in a hurry was not just because I was worried that no one would represent me to fight the queen, but also because I was worried about you. People, "Aifei still needs to take care of her health."

Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes."

Chunjia asked her kindly again: "My concubine just said that people cannot be resurrected after death, but I don't know who it is?"

"In the past two months, an elder passed away, but the news has only recently reached the imperial capital." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "When I was at home, I was quite favored by that elder, and I still remember the promise I made when I was a child Promise, Tao will continue to honor her old man after she grows up and leaves the court... Who knows, the things specially selected for her before the concubine is still on the way, but the man has gone first. The son wants to support but the relatives do not wait, Concubine..."

She lowered her head to hide the momentary emotional fluctuations, and when she raised her head, she regained her composure, "Actually, the elders are old, and the family is celebrating and mourning, and this concubine should not be in such a mood. Your Majesty, don't worry about it, I am calm." It will be fine in a while."

"Then you shouldn't be blowing air here." Chun Jia stared at her for a while, then said softly, "If your elders have knowledge, they certainly don't want to see you suffer so much."

"Your Majesty said so." Yun Fenghuang's attitude was very upright and respectful, the kind of uprightness and respect that was eager to send him away—yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no problem, I will listen to you... ...Can you go?

Chunjia saw it, said a few words of concern quietly, then turned around and left on the pretext that she still had to deal with government affairs.

After he left, Xie Hengyu and others rushed in, Xie Hengyu held a cloak with silk in his hand, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty..."

"Get out!" Yun Fenghuang yelled uncharacteristically without raising his head.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty also said just now that even if you feel uncomfortable, you can't suffer like this!" Xie Hengyu immediately knelt down, choked up and said, "Who do you think is feeling better now? If you are too... what is it called family?" Think? What should I do if I call my wife? Niang Niang, you have to do well, and only if you do well can the family have hope, you say, right?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang stood motionless, and after a while, he turned around and walked towards the hall as if he came back to his senses.

Xie Hengyu hurriedly got up to catch up and put the cloak on her shoulders.

After a while, the master and servant entered the room, Qing Du Qing hurriedly brought ginger soup, Yun Fenghuang drank most of the bowl expressionlessly, and ordered Xie Hengyu and the waiters other than Qing Du Qing to leave.

A group of palace people were sent out and scattered like birds and beasts.

But there was a little servant who quietly touched the apse to eavesdrop.

He had just hidden it, and then he heard a loud noise that some heavy vessel had been smashed—followed by Xie Hengyu's crying "Niang Niang, please be angry", and the people of the Qing Dynasty persuaded "Anger will hurt your body, and your empress will never be angry." Wan loves his own bones."

After a while, there was a voice of hatred from Yun Fenghuang: "How could he... how dare he?! Fifteen sisters are so gentle and obedient. At that time, the eldest, second and third brothers hated my mother for surpassing the eldest aunt. The head of the family has often instigated me to target my sister, but the fifteenth sister refused to coax me with them, and in private she often persuaded me to get along with my sister, saying that my sister really loves me... Fifteenth sister is such a good person... ..."

While talking, there was no sound, only a whimper, as if he was so sad that he couldn't continue.

The three of Xie Hengyu persuaded in a low voice, because it was cold in this season, and the doors and windows of the apse were closed, and the little servant listened with his ears up, but it was also intermittent. It was probably what the emperor said just now: Your fifteenth sister, Quan Xia, must be unwilling to bear it if she knows something. Seeing you so sad and so on.

In the end, Yun Fenghuang couldn't hold back anymore, and said: "This matter can't be left alone, I will report to His Majesty later, and must seek justice for the fifteenth sister!"

"Your Majesty, don't do it!" Hearing the words, the three of them dissuaded in unison, followed by a "plop", as if someone knelt down, and said repeatedly, "My Lady, there are many doubts about what happened to Miss Six back then. The young lady was known to be quiet and gentle, virtuous and virtuous, how could it be possible for the red apricot to have sex?! But Mrs. Wang's things are so hard to prove, the master and wife are heartbroken, and there is nothing they can do. Even girls like Empress and Miss Fifteen who are not out of the court are deeply implicated!"

"Nowadays, when Miss Fifteen's matter was reported to Mrs. Xie, everyone was buried. How could evidence be left behind? If there is no evidence, how can you argue with their family?! If it is spread, it will only Saying that Mrs. Xie is overbearing, when the time comes, the family of the young lady who is currently waiting to be married may also be..."

"It is precisely because there is no proof that His Majesty is being asked to take action." Yun Fenghuang choked up and said, "The truth is told to sensible people, such despicable and shameless people, if you tell them the truth, do they understand it! Are they willing? Listen! It's just playing the piano to the cow!"

Xie Hengyu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please calm down! You think that the Northern Territory has always been the territory of the Regent, and the Ji family dare not touch it! What is Your Majesty doing to spoil you and give generously to the Xie family's children? Isn't it just hope In the future with the Prince Regent... Can our family contribute? But now the sons of the family have not yet come to an end, and our family has not been able to do anything for His Majesty, but we want this and that, isn't it greedy?"

"Even though Your Majesty is kind and doesn't care about us, but Madam, have you forgotten what Madam told me repeatedly before she left? Your Majesty is also in a difficult situation now. Since you are a concubine, you should be sympathetic to Your Majesty! Miss Fifteen is gone, no matter what. If you seek justice for her, she will not survive! Instead of embarrassing Your Majesty for a moment, it is better to be patient for a while, and wait until His Majesty Yuji Yunei, and it will not be too late to talk about it!"

"Isn't it too late?" Yun Fenghuang said in a hoarse voice after a while, "Mom, in this palace, in terms of noble birth, who in the concubine position is not superior to this palace? In terms of beauty, mother has also seen Yigui." Yes; in terms of youth, Mrs. Yigui is the same age as me, and there will be newcomers in this palace one after another. Your Majesty treats me very well now, but what about in the future?"

She said sadly, "For people like Yigui, even if they grow old one day, at least they have a biological flesh and blood to think about. For the sake of the emperor's heir, His Majesty will always have pity for his mother. As for this palace... the child of Yigui, The children of other people in the palace are said to be born to be raised by this palace, and they are also my heirs."

"But in fact, once I lose power, I won't be able to keep any of those children."

"So, if you don't take this opportunity to avenge sister fifteen, who knows if there will be a future for me?"

Xie Hengyu sobbed and said: "Don't say that! Do you still remember Madam's advice? Your Majesty has always been kind and nostalgic. You should serve him well and respect the empress dowager with all your heart. If you are no longer favored by the emperor now, His Majesty will definitely arrange for you well, and will not make your evening miserable... People's hearts are fleshy, and you rely on the emperor's favor at the moment, only thinking about yourself and not about Your Majesty, too many times, How can the kindness not be exhausted?"

"Think about Madam's words again, don't learn from Yue Xiuyuan... Your Majesty, think about how reluctant Madam was before she left, and think about how well His Majesty has treated you these days, Madam has said everything, since you entered the palace, you have treated me so well. Your majesty's contempt, you are not wronged if your majesty bestows death on you... You really can't trouble your majesty anymore!!!"

Yun Fenghuang was silent for a long while.

The little servant still wanted to continue eavesdropping, but at this moment he suddenly heard his companion calling him from a distance, worried that he would be exposed, so he hurriedly walked away, and only responded when he was far away from the main hall.

...After a long while, what he heard was relayed to Chunjia's ears.

"What happened later? Their master and servant just hugged their heads and cried in the palace, and there was no other movement?" Chunjia thought for a while, and asked the servant who sent the message.

The servant bowed his head and said: "Just now, Wei Zhaorong took the lead, and the four empresses Lu Chongyi, Jia Chongyuan, and Shun Jieyu went to Huanhua Hall to visit the real concubine. The real concubine said she was tired, so she sent them away without saying a word to them. , but Shun Jieyu was left to talk."

Chunjia was silent for a while, asked him to step back, and asked Yan Yin beside him: "What do you think Concubine Zhen means?"

Yan Yin thought for a while, then cautiously said: "This servant thinks that although the real concubine is close to the Xie family in her heart, she is actually a daughter of the Yun family."

"Yes, she is the daughter of the Yun family." Chunjia sneered slightly, "When I encountered trouble, and was persuaded by people around me not to come to me, it was only natural that I wanted to attack Duke Yi's mansion."

Speaking of this, the conversation changed, "It's just... You said, is Zhenfei's behavior showing her true feelings, or is it just for me to see?"

"Slaves are stupid." Yan Yin lowered his head and said, "But I don't know what the real concubine is thinking."

Chunjia sighed, and murmured: "Don't you know? That's right, I'm not sure now, which statement is true and which statement is false?"

After a pause, he ordered, "Find me, Miss Xie Shiwu, what's going on?"

At the same time, in the Huanhua Palace, Yun Fenghuang, who watched Yun Qingman leave, also said to Xie Hengyu: "Your Majesty will probably send someone to inquire about the fifteenth sister, as long as he does this, I will rest assured." Already!"
