Chapter Fourteen You Come and I Go

"Your Majesty, I'm just asking. After noon, His Majesty finished handling government affairs, and originally planned to come to our place." Chen Zhu walked in, wiping off cold sweat, and knelt down to report, "However, the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, personally sent someone to invite His Majesty to come to Chunyou. Palace dinner."

Yun Fenghuang frowned and said: "But the loving mother Empress Dowager has something to say to Your Majesty?"

It is likely that when she went to Taichu Palace to file a complaint, Concubine Xuan also went to Empress Dowager Yuan to apply eye drops—isn’t Empress Dowager Yuan helping Concubine Xuan and calling her son to beat her?

But I heard Chen Zhu say: "Your Majesty, the servants have not found out whether the Empress Dowager has told His Majesty anything. But tonight's dinner at the Spring Palace is not only the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty, but Mrs. Manya is also serving .”

"Her?" Yun Fenghuang was startled, she was not surprised to ask Chen Zhu to say that Concubine Xuan was there, but Meng Youyi? Doesn't this person seem to be very close to Chunwan Palace? How did you get the treatment that Empress Dowager Yuan stayed with you? Or when Chunjia went to eat?

Chen Zhu stepped forward on his knees and said in a low voice: "It is said that Mrs. Manya liked to cook when she was in the boudoir. Today, she became interested and made some dishes and pastries to honor the Spring Palace. The loving mother Empress Dowager saw that it was much better inside. His Majesty likes them all, and when he was happy, he helped to call His Majesty up."

Yun Fenghuang sneered, and said: "Where is such a coincidence? The surname Meng is not in the mood early and late, but today? It is probably the work of Concubine Xuan. This is a long-awaited plan to come to the door in person. I can't lose the face of this palace, so I have left behind!"

"Your Majesty, why don't we too?" Chen Zhu asked tentatively, "The little prince and the little princess are young, and the nurse who was taking care of her servants mentioned it two days ago, the little princess seems to be coughing a few times..."

Jiaoruo did cough for a while in the past two days, but it was because of choking on milk. After all, everyone in the palace knew that Chunjia's children were weak, and he finally had a son and a daughter. According to the rules, there is no extra favor, but none of the people who serve dare to slack off - otherwise, something went wrong, and the two don't say anything, and the empress dowager and any of the three empress dowagers say something , These people and their families cannot escape the guilt.

Now that Chen Zhu said so, it was obvious that he was trying to persuade Yun Fenghuang to use the two children as a raft and call Chunjia over again.

All the plots between Concubine Xuan and Mrs. Manya came to nothing!

"Two lowly maidservants, where do you get the qualifications to let my son pretend to be sick?" But Yun Fenghuang snorted coldly when he heard the words, and said, "Furthermore, the instigator of this matter must undoubtedly be Concubine Xuan. Zhen Gong dragged His Majesty away, doesn't it seem that he is afraid of the Righteous Lord?"

He ordered Chen Zhu, "Regarding the civet cats raised in captivity in our palace, I have already received an order from His Majesty, packed them up and sent them to Yanlan Palace, and let Concubine Xuan take care of them. I will send someone to the palace to ask for instructions." After the empress dowager, we will deal with it. In this way, since Concubine Xuan has come to the door in person for this matter, of course we can't delay."

"You send people to catch all civet cats now, put them in cages and send them to Xinli Hall!"

She smiled slightly, her fresh lips curled into a sharp arc, "It doesn't matter if you can't find a strong enough cage in a hurry, anyway, Concubine Xuan has no young heirs, and Concubine Xuan keeps saying that she loves the little prince and the little princess." , presumably even if these civet cats pass by and cause her some trouble, she won't mind."

Chen Zhu understood: "Your maidservant will do it now."

So after a long while, I was still smiling and listening to the left and right, saying: "I'm afraid it will be lively in the Huanhua Palace at the moment, and the concubine's temperament will be tolerated by the people below." Concubine Xuan, dumbfounded, asked the palace man who sent the message: "What do you think Xuanqing Palace sent here?"

"Your Majesty, someone said that it was His Majesty's intention." The palace man said in fear, "He is waiting outside, saying that he wants to go back and reply to the real concubine."

Concubine Xuan's face darkened, and when she saw this, her left and right hurriedly persuaded her: "Your Majesty, it's very unlikely that your Majesty would do this. Maybe Zhenfei knew that His Majesty is already in Yuzhen Palace, and said that on purpose, and wanted us to disturb His Majesty."

"That's right, those civet cats were released by the Empress Dowager, and they were also raised by Concubine Zhen herself in the palace. They have to be dealt with now. Where is the best place to go? How could they be sent to us?"

"...Since Concubine Zhen has asked people to come over and say so, even if His Majesty didn't say this before, she is 80% sure. After letting His Majesty know, she will recognize it by herself." Concubine Xuan took a deep breath, and sneered for a while, "Even if this Going to confront His Majesty later will be of no avail... Forget it, aren't they just a few civet cats? The Xuanqing Palace has been raising them for these days, so why should I be afraid?!"

But having said that, she still warned, "Let the servants in the outer room take over and place them in the yard farthest from the main hall. Remember to check every civet cat. If there are sick ones that don't have much energy , be sure to ask the people from Xuanqing Palace to sign and pledge the certificate."

Otherwise, in two days, some of these civet cats would die or get sick, and Yun Fenghuang might be looking for trouble again.

"After cleaning up, all the people who have come into contact with are not allowed to come back to the main hall immediately, find a remote place, take a bath and change clothes, and change the previous clothes and shoes... Well, just burn them all! Put on brand new ones, then you can go back to the main hall. Continue to serve."

He also ordered people to check the inside and outside to prevent it from being planted with fenugreek.

After all, when Yi Xingen and the others were recruited, although Concubine Xuan did not enter the palace, given her family background, it was not impossible to inquire about such news.

If Yun Fenghuang wanted to use these civet cats to murder her, she would not be fooled.

After such a toss, by the time Yanlan Palace takes over all the civet cats, it will be almost midnight.

Concubine Xuan didn't trust Yun Fenghuang at all, she was afraid that she might have something behind her, so she had been sitting in the main hall and commanding by remote control - but the people in her palace found out that Yun Fenghuang was sure that the emperor was on the side of Xuanqing Palace. If I don't go there tonight, I'll just wash up and settle down, and I won't sleep well.

Could it be that Concubine Zhen's move is to toss me a lot?

Concubine Xuan yawned and thought, I can't be careless, considering Concubine Zhen's past achievements, from Yuan Niangniang to Zheng Shangchu, it can be seen that this person is definitely not the kind of person who should be forgiving and forgiving.

She was mentally prepared for Yun Fenghuang to have a backup, even if she was shaken awake immediately after falling asleep and reported something happened in the palace, she would not be surprised.

As a result, Concubine Xuan was shaken awake after not sleeping for a long time, listening to the tones of the left and right saying something happened in a hurry.

But, it wasn't something that happened in Yanlan Palace, but in Xuanqing Palace.

"What does the matter of Xuanqing Palace have to do with us?" Concubine Xuan was forced to work for most of the night, and now she just fell asleep for a while. , "The one who delivered things to our palace at night is the Xuanqing Palace... Concubine Zhen is also in charge. What things can't be handled by herself and need to alarm the palace?"

The palace lady kept moving her hands, and quickly explained: "When Xuanqing Palace sent the civet cat over, because it was night, two tortoiseshell spots went over the wall and disappeared! The servant in charge at that time was anxious to complete Zhenfei's order. I didn't care about it, I plan to look for it tomorrow..."

Concubine Xuan was still ignorant, and said: "But what does this have to do with us?"

"... Those two tortoiseshell spots attacked the Huanhua Palace at night, not to mention scratching many palace people, and once rushed to the front of the bedroom, disturbing the real concubine." I caught it, but some palace servants who know medicine noticed that there was an object soaked in the juice of fennel in the main hall, so that's why the civet cat was recruited."

"..." Concubine Xuan was stunned for a moment, then woke up all of a sudden, "Could it be that object?"

The maid said in a low voice: "It is a sachet left by our palace people. It is said that it was stuffed in the carved seat of your seat when you passed by during the day."

There is no need for the maid to continue talking about this. Concubine Xuan understands that this matter is troublesome: she suddenly took the initiative to visit Yunfeng Huang in the Huanhua Palace during the day, and had a dispute about the civet cat, but she was attacked by the civet cat at night. Or was the sachet of her palace man stolen into the seat she sat in... Either she deliberately murdered Concubine Zhen, or Concubine Zhen deliberately murdered her.

The point is, Chunjia is partial to the real concubine!

Tonight the emperor agreed to go to the Huanhua Palace to see the real concubine, but because she used the Empress Dowager Yuan and Meng Youyi to intervene, the emperor broke his promise to the real concubine.

Concubine Xuan would know if there was such a commotion again, after Chunjia found out, it must be beneficial to Concubine Zhen.

Even Concubine Xuan is also supported by Empress Dowager Yuan, but Concubine Zhen has "conclusive evidence", and Empress Dowager Yuan is not good at questioning Concubine Zhen's murder of concubines of the same level without evidence-the Empress Dowager doesn't like Yun Fenghuang, It always depends on Chunjia's face.

What's more, Concubine Zhen is still the adoptive mother of the little prince and the little princess.

"This lowly servant girl!" After thinking about this, even though Concubine Xuan had always had a city, her chest rose and fell violently in anger, and she said in a hateful voice, "Sure enough, things from small families can't be put on the table, and they can only play with these insidious things. Private means!"

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" The wet nurse Yin came in and said in a deep voice, "After the real concubine 'discovered' the sachet of fenugreek juice, she sent someone directly to Yuzhen Palace to inform His Majesty, and His Majesty has already arrived at Huanhua Your Majesty, is comforting Concubine Zhen...a servant has already come over to tell you to confront her in the past, considering Concubine Zhen's ruthlessness, one is not good, I'm afraid..."

Concubine Xuan pursed her lips, she was similar to Yun Fenghuang, she had a very bright appearance, at the moment her complexion was frosty without saying a word, but she was cold and stern.

After a while, she snorted coldly, and said: "It's okay, those who are clear will clear themselves. I don't believe that your majesty can do anything to me because of such a small matter... Let's go, follow me to Huanhua Palace, I still want to Ask the real concubine face to face, she has become a mother concubine anyway, why is she so inconsiderate, knowing that her majesty will go to court tomorrow, and it is so late, and she wants to alarm the holy car, is there any one palace? The virtue and consideration that the Lord should have?!"

However, Yun Fenghuang had been prepared for a long time. Concubine Xuan rushed to Huanhua Palace, and was listening to her snuggle up in Chunjia's arms, crying with snot and tears: "...Fortunately, Your Majesty takes pity on this concubine and the two heirs. The concubine is allowed to send those civet cats to Yanlan Palace for foster care. If the concubine happens to be free tonight, and the lamps are lit, or someone sends all the civet cats there, but two of them accidentally left. Dozens of civet cats have come to the main hall, with such a small number of people here, so defenseless, how can they stop them?!"

"At that time, it will be trivial for the concubine to follow Miaocai and others, but how old are the little princes and princesses? How can the concubine let them go even if she is under the nine springs? And Meng'er is still in the palace... "

"Your Majesty, I know that I have always been impatient. I often offend my sisters in the palace without knowing it. But what did the little prince and daughter do wrong? What did my niece do wrong?!"

"Did the person behind the scenes think about these three innocent children when he did such a murderous act?!"

"It's still her purpose. It's these three, no, it's for the little prince and the little princess?!"

"After all, the biological mothers of the little prince and the little princess are both palace concubines, and they are not qualified to raise the heir personally. If there is a mistake in the concubine, whether it is your majesty or the empress dowager, it is natural to choose another concubine for them."

"Although the little prince is the heir of Concubine Shu's sister, according to the distance, Qingman should be raising her without concubine status, but now Qingman is pregnant and can't take care of herself, and her status is lower than that of Concubine Shu and concubine. body……"

"Based on this, once the concubine is lost, then the little prince and the little princess will definitely fall into..."

"Sister Zhenfei!" The concubine Xuan at the bottom was still maintaining the demeanor of a famous daughter-in-law, she only frowned slightly hearing that she was tired of Chunjia's acting like a spoiled child, and she couldn't help hearing this, and interrupted, "You want to frame Ben? Gong murdered you, just say it, why go around in circles like this?! It’s just that it’s too naive for my sister to be titled ‘Zhen’: just relying on a sachet, how can I say that I am harming you? I don’t know that my sister is not from the palace. After picking up something, the thief shouted "Stop thief?!"

Yun Fenghuang just pretended not to hear, sobbing softly, but quietly pinched Chunjia under his hand.
