Chapter 193: Discussion Between Monarch and Subject (Part 1)

Looking at Chunjia's calm face, Zheng Guifei couldn't tell what she was feeling.

She imagined the emperor's reaction after hearing the news, he was furious, forced his anger, and even pointed the finger at her, questioning her for framing his favorite concubine-but she didn't expect Chunjia to be so calm, as if hearing As calm as eating and drinking.

This relieved Concubine Zheng Gui, who had been ready to be scolded by him harshly, but also had a secret pleasure: It turns out that you, Yun Fenghuang, seem to be deeply favored, but in His Majesty's eyes, that's just the case?

Regarding Yun Fenghuang's pride in the past few months, the concubines privately have two views: the first one is pure envy, jealousy and hatred, regretting that the real concubine didn't see her means and luck when she first entered the palace If I had known that we would join forces to kill her at the beginning, why did I raise a tiger and let this young concubine, who had not yet entered the palace, climb on top of them to do her best?

The second chapter is to sneer secretly, thinking that the emperor's city is deep, and the childhood sweetheart Yuan Niang who grew up together since she was a child, is not needed to be estranged immediately after taking office, let alone Yunfenghuang? She can be favored because the emperor needs such a concubine, to weaken the influence of the Ji family in the court, and to rush the death of Concubine Shu, so as to take advantage of this real concubine with a bad background.

The imperial concubine has always held the first opinion.

The main thing is, if you think about it from the second point of view, then she is the number one hero who won Yun Fenghuang's favor, not one of them.

After all, Concubine Shu was killed by her...

Before she killed her, she even ventilated with Yun Fenghuang...

Concubine Zheng didn't want to admit that she had done something stupid, she would rather believe that the emperor was sincere to Yun Fenghuang.

But looking at the emperor's attitude at this moment, she gloats that Yun Fenghuang's position in his heart is not as important as outsiders think, but also a little sad.

Whether it's her or Yun Fenghuang, when they are in the boudoir, who is not the jewel in the palm of the hand who is loved by thousands of people?

Among the daughters of the Zheng family, Zheng Shangchu was the top choice in terms of talent and appearance, so they were sent to the palace to serve Chunjia.

At that time, she was full of apprehension and fear, but because the emperor was young and handsome, with a gentle temperament, she was quite pleased.

But after being with this emperor for nearly ten years, she still couldn't see his heart clearly.

She thought it was because her skills were not good enough and the timing was not good, but now she felt that maybe the emperor is so noble and extraordinary, but he has no heart?

Gathering her mind, the noble concubine said in a low voice: "Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, the concubine was suspicious of the empress at the time. After all, the concubine was in the palace, and her status was second only to the middle palace. And the middle palace has never been out, if the concubine's identity After giving birth to a prince, the son is more valuable than the mother, and must be valued. In this way, the empress has a considerable reason to attack the concubine."

"But the concubine thought, the empress is shrewd, even if she wanted to do something about the concubine's pregnancy, she would definitely not be able to leave a clue. I just wanted to find some clues from the Dendrobium Palace to see if I could track down Yanfu. Palace?"

This kind of thinking is very normal, because Xinqing is a palace official of the Huzhu Palace, and if the real culprit behind the scenes is the empress, she might deliberately leave evidence pointing to the Huzhu Palace to lure the noble concubine to fight with Yuan Lianniang.

Concubine Zheng said, "Unexpectedly, my concubine arranged for someone to watch the Huzhu Palace, but I didn't find the queen's handwriting, but...but I found that the real concubine went out several times in the middle of the night. In a corner where people live!"

"This matter has been reported, and the concubine only said that the concubine Zhen had sleepwalking. I heard from a doctor that this disease is the most taboo to be frightened. I am afraid that the people below will disturb the concubine Zhen and cause death. As a concubine who is pregnant with a baby, I am also afraid that it will be bad for the baby."

"So people don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Is that so?" Chunjia sipped his tea with a lazy tone, "Is that how you think the real concubine is dating a foreigner?"

Concubine Zheng lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, if that's the only way, I certainly wouldn't dare to doubt the real concubine. After all, how much Your Majesty loves the real concubine is obvious to all! If the real concubine still has the heart to live up to the holy grace, is she still human? "

"It's just that although the concubine ordered the withdrawal of the guards who were monitoring the Huzhu Palace, the palace people were greedy by nature, thinking that the real concubine was sleepwalking, and wanted to take the opportunity to get the hairpin on her body. Therefore, they followed the real concubine privately, and when they got to the secluded palace room, they found... I found her...she had a private meeting with a foreigner, and her words and deeds were quite intimate!"

"The concubine's palace servant was terrified when he saw it, and hurriedly withdrew!"

"If he had come to sue my concubine at that time, my concubine would have told His Majesty and the empress to make the decision, but that lowly slave had a lot of worries, but it was only yesterday that I violated the palace rules because of other things, and when my concubine punished me, Confessed together!"

The noble concubine sighed at this point, "This matter... I don't know what to say, please give me your majesty's order!"

Chunjia gave a "hmm" and said lightly, "I know, I will find out."

Concubine Zheng: "..."

that's all?

She couldn't believe it, this was the reaction of an emperor who knew that his concubine had put on a cuckold, hadn't he put on a cuckold once?

Could it be that the Son of Heaven trusts Concubine Zhen so much that he doesn't care what she said?

But in that case, Chunjia would at least make a statement and not allow her to "slander" the real concubine's name, right?

To say that the Son of Heaven already has doubts in his heart, but he is more calm... But isn't that too calm?

This attitude is simply "I know, but I want to protect the real concubine, so just say that I love the concubine, so don't ask the bottom of it ignorantly", okay?

But in other people's matters, it's okay for Chunjia to favor Yun Fenghuang, but he can bear this red apricot cheating?

The imperial concubine was in a daze for a while, she felt that maybe the emperor was sincere towards Yun Fenghuang, so he didn't even care about such things... Hell, how is this possible! ?

She was silent for a while, and suddenly a horrifying thought came to her, did Chunjia know about it long ago?

That's why it's such an understatement?

but!

Still the same sentence, how could the emperor bear it?

The noble concubine's heart was so ups and downs that night, that she didn't even have the mood to serve the emperor during the rare overnight stay.

Fortunately, although the emperor stayed behind seeing that it was late, he didn't intend to sleep with her, so the two of them just passed the night, and the emperor went to court early the next morning.

As soon as he left, a little maid came up to greet the noble concubine, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, how are you?"

"Your Majesty said he knows, and he will send someone to investigate." Concubine Zheng calmed down after thinking over and over all night, and said calmly, "After finding out, I will decide how to deal with Concubine Zhen."

The little maid was clearly taken aback: "Then Your Majesty now...?"

"It's early in the morning, of course I'm going to court." Concubine Zheng said calmly, "After all, Your Majesty has always been diligent in politics. Could it be that you still expect His Majesty to ignore the real business and deal with the real concubine first? I don't even think that the real concubine has this Qualification, let His Majesty slack off government affairs?"

Seeing the little maid froze for a while, she felt a little more comfortable in her heart, she couldn't just rack her brains at the emperor's indifference and still be puzzled, right?

"Go back and tell your master, just say this, I have already told His Majesty, as for the next step, I can't say anything else." She narrowed her eyes and said lightly, "After all, let alone the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. , even Zhenfei is not an easy-going lamp! If she knew about what Bengong said to His Majesty yesterday, you should have imagined the result."

Thinking back to when she took the initiative to hand over the details, she was flattering and helping to kill Concubine Shu. Although she consciously wanted to take advantage of Yun Fenghuang, she actually helped her get rid of the biggest obstacle in the way!

Later, Yun Fenghuang was promoted by the Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia's mother and son. The imperial concubine felt that even if this young junior did not rely on and trust her like a real sister, she would still be a pleasant ally to cooperate with, right?

The results of it?

The real concubine turned her back when she said she would turn her back, as if there was nothing between the two of them.

Couldn't have been more ungrateful.

Now, if she knew that Concubine Zheng was going to trick her like this, wouldn't she be separated from Yanlan Palace and live to the death? !

"Although this matter was done by this palace, the real concubine is in full swing now, if your majesty can't hold back her anger and deal with her, it's fine." After dismissing the little maid, the noble concubine thought, "If your majesty is reluctant...then... ...We still have to find a scapegoat in advance!"

As for who to turn to, is there any need to talk about it?

The only one who is qualified to be a scapegoat for her noble concubine is the queen.

When Concubine Zheng was thinking about digging a hole for the queen, Chunjia left the court and returned to the side hall. Not long after she changed into her regular clothes, Deng Chengzhai, who had sent Yan Yin to invite her, also arrived.

"Yueting." Seeing him, Chunjia waved back to the left and right, leaving someone alone to play the right, and simply said what the imperial concubine said yesterday, "Do you think this is the intention of the Zheng family, or is there another mastermind? Why?"

Deng Chengzhai's brows twitched when he heard this, no matter whether it was true or not, this kind of palace scandal, as a foreign minister, would feel terrified when he heard it.

But I also feel ironic.

After all, Chunjia is not a person without opinions, she is willing to tell him such things, and even asks his opinion, obviously the kind who regards him as a confidant and has no grudges.

"Your Majesty, I believe that if the Prince Regent did not do this in private, then Mrs. Zheng should have taken a fancy to the current status of the Concubine Zhen in the palace." Deng Chengzhai thought for a moment, then said slowly, "After all, since returning from the summer vacation, the Empress The concubine often falls ill, and the palace affairs are all entrusted to the concubine concubine. Although the concubine concubine is smart and capable, her qualifications are low. The concubine has been in the palace for a long time, and her seniority is higher than that of the concubine real. It is human nature to feel dissatisfied in her heart."

"The Regent..." Chunjia exhaled, and said to himself, "Then, in Yue Ting's opinion, who should be responsible for this matter?"

As for the truth, Yun Fenghuang had "confessed" before, and he had also speculated and verified it, and he knew more than Concubine Zheng.

But the difficulty lies in that, if this matter is not exposed, the emperor and concubine will tacitly assume that it did not happen, or discuss it later, it can be done slowly.

But now Concubine Zheng is complaining in person, and Chunjia has to give an answer out of emotion and reason.

After all, with this noble concubine's background, whether it be the emperor or Deng Chengzhai, how could it be possible to believe that she did this only for the sake of the palace, and not for the purpose of informing the court and plotting?

Therefore, when the emperor asked, he mentioned the Zheng family, not Zheng Guifei.

He didn't think that this matter was something that Concubine Zheng could do.
