Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 40 Yun Fenghuang: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Caught off guard, Yun Fenghuang froze.

At this moment, the first thing she thought of was not guilty conscience, explanation, fear... but suspicion.

Well, just now when she lost her temper and wanted to leave, Chunjia pulled her back and sat on her knees. At that time, she only said it was to coax her, but she didn't take it seriously, so she was hugged by him like that.

At this moment, Yun Fenghuang realized how stupid this move was: because the whole person was leaning against Chunjia's arms, even the slightest abnormality could be felt, and there was no chance to cover it up!

"Your Majesty is tired of being a concubine and just say it, why bother to make such an excuse?!" At the moment when the concubine noticed her stiffness, Yun Fenghuang instantly pushed Chunjia away, stood up from his lap, and quickly He took two steps back and stood still. When he looked up, his face was full of anger, and he said in a hateful voice, "I felt that I was not blessed early in the morning, otherwise I would live a good life. Why is it either this incident or that accident?! Only after meeting His Majesty , thanks to the great love, it will definitely turn around, and the days of side effects will no longer be the same as before! But I never thought that His Majesty would not trust the concubine after all!!!"

Chunjia looked at her dumbfounded: "Aifei thinks I'm testing you?"

Yun Fenghuang said stiffly: "Don't dare, Your Majesty speaks well, of course what you say is what you say."

She thought quickly in her heart where was the flaw?

But I can't remember it for a while.

The face-to-face meeting with Empress Ji is extremely confidential, even the servants sent to the palace by the Jiang family, not everyone knows about it.

Jiang's work is careful, and those who can be sent into the palace by her to serve, besides being sensible, careful, general and loyal, they also have enough hostages in her hands.

So it cannot be said that these people will never betray, but it has only been more than half a year since they entered the palace, and Yun Fenghuang has not shown any signs of decline, so it is really unlikely that someone will eat inside and outside.

Could it be a problem with Empress Ji?

But could the queen be so careless?

Or... the queen betrayed her on purpose?

Could it be that the Ji family has found other collaborators in the harem?

But who would be a better fit than her?

Or is there a secret here that she doesn't know?

Yun Fenghuang's thoughts flashed, his expression was as usual, not far away, Chunjia took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "There is no need to guess, no one will tell me."

"..." Yun Fenghuang quickly thought about how to answer, should he continue to attack to show his innocence and clear conscience, or...follow his tone and talk routinely?

It's just that she hasn't made a decision yet, Chunjia has already continued: "The queen mother is quite indifferent to you these days. Just now at the reception banquet, she even helped the queen to speak for you, instead of supporting Concubine Xuan Rui. The Ji family is not stupid. How could you not know that allowing you to follow the queen will inevitably cause great constraints to the queen? They tried every means to create momentum, even burning the palace, so that they could help the queen regain the power of the palace, so how can I let you be alone? On the side?"

Yun Fenghuang's record was recognized by the Queen Mother Yuan who had a deep prejudice against her.

And Empress Ji's sisters were even stabbed by this concubine personally - if the three generations of Ji's phoenix masters don't have a long memory, Chunjia feels that they have no right to make things difficult for him.

"As a result, the empress mother and the empress dowager have been arguing for a long time around Rang'er, but they downplayed the matter of you being my temporary Jinxian concubine... If there is no inside story, is it possible?"

Chunjia was very calm, as if she was not talking about her favorite concubine colluding with outsiders, but a very common thing, "What's going on? Huh?"

Why can't he be an idiot who doesn't know the difference between grain and grain? ? ?

Yun Fenghuang groaned again.

However, she felt a little more at ease, because Chunjia said that she was only suspicious, but she had no proof.

"The empress dowager and mother empress dowager couldn't stop your majesty from speaking, so is it the concubine's fault instead?" She then retorted confidently, "Besides, your majesty just persuaded the loving mother empress dowager in the spring palace, how could you know? Didn't the Ji family intend this so that the concubine would be under suspicion. In this way, without waiting for the queen to figure out how to target the concubine, His Majesty can help them solve the trouble of concubine?"

She said while thinking, and said, "If your majesty doesn't believe me, I should kill my concubine now. Or my concubine will be sick from now on and stay at home. Your majesty will choose another virtuous concubine to help the empress." , is it done?"

Chunjia said with a smile: "Where did I learn to cry, make trouble and hang myself, and die at every turn, and I don't know any taboos."

He was so calm and calm as if he didn't take it to heart at all, Yun Fenghuang became more and more uncertain, and said with a smile: "Otherwise? The concubine has no respect for my father and brother, and I have suffered some grievances for my concubine's sake, chasing after your majesty." Ask for justice. What else can I do besides a death certificate of innocence?"

"I haven't asked you about your crime yet, but you gave me a pass with a gun and a stick!" Chunjia smiled good-naturedly, "Concubine Xuan and the others all have important ministers, fathers and brothers, but you see, at critical moments, I'm fine. No matter the mother of Yuan, who mentioned them?"

It's okay if he didn't mention this, but when he mentioned this, Yun Fenghuang's tears came down again: "The empress dowager and mother empress dowager have come back, and if filial piety is in the way, even your majesty can't do anything wrong. In this case, the concubine will go If the queen fights with the queen, if she is a little careless, it will end badly! Originally, the concubine's status is only lower than the queen's. In terms of having both children and children, she is not bad in terms of favor. Even if the queen regains power, she can still be comfortable Live!"

"After all, concubines of the same level are supported by concubine Xuan and Rui. They are all people who have important ministers, fathers and brothers, who are enough to threaten the middle palace."

"As long as the concubine does not come out, will the queen target the concubine first?"

"Does the concubine know this truth?"

"It's just that I stood up hastily with the idea of ​​sharing the worries of Your Majesty."

"Now the three generations of the Ji family hate the concubine's identity... As a result, from the loving mother, the empress dowager to Your Majesty, there is no one who does not doubt the concubine's identity!"

"I knew it earlier, why did I have to make such a head?"

"Quietly, just be the real concubine!"

Chunjia listened quietly, then smiled for a while and said: "My concubine, what you say is so sincere, I almost want to believe you."

Yun Fenghuang said with tears, "I don't dare to expect too much."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Chunjia waved his hands indifferently, "Today, this little girl was hugged at the gate of the palace to meet Feng Jia, and the cold wind blew for a long time. Can I have the imperial doctor look at it when I come back?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang was ready to fight hard to prove his innocence, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to change the topic, his heart was in a mess, he wiped his face and said listlessly, "I told you before, bring them back and let them go immediately." Take a look at the imperial doctor... If the people below didn't say anything, I think it's okay."

Chunjia got up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Then he walked around the child for a while in a logical manner, and passed the meal when it was time to eat.

He stayed in Huanhua Palace that night, as gentle as ever, as if he had never mentioned the collusion between Yun Fenghuang and the Ji family.

He acted as if nothing had happened, but Yun Fenghuang felt tormented in his heart.

Because I am not sure whether Chunjia has evidence, is very suspicious, or is it a temptation to take advantage of the trend? ? ?

She collected 120,000 points of energy before calmly perfunctory until they fell asleep.

The next day he got up to send Chun Jia away, Yun Fenghuang called the Qing people to come up to him and ordered in a low voice: "Investigate thoroughly, Empress Ji came and went to Xuanqing Palace, can there be any leaks!"

The Qing people were taken aback: "Your Majesty, has the news spread?!"

"Don't worry about it." Yun Fenghuang was worried that telling the truth would make her confused, and she would be more vulnerable, and frowned, "Just go and investigate."

But at this moment, in the palace of Taichu, Chunjia, who was sitting on the throne watching the ministers below who were arguing endlessly over a matter of government affairs, tilted his head slightly, and ordered Yanyin: "The Secretary of the Imperial City pays attention to the manpower that the empress can mobilize in the Ji family. Let's see if they have anything to do with Concubine Xian's family."

Yan Yin's heart trembled, but he didn't dare to ask further questions, only said: "Yes."

He paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, in the palace confinement, at the Xuanqing Palace..."

Since it is suspected that there is a relationship between the Ji family and the concubine Xian's family, the relationship between the concubine Xian and the queen in the palace...

"... Keep an eye on it too, but don't do anything." Chunjia pondered for a while, then said in a low voice, "By the way, Uncle Xingning was also involved in the fire in the palace?"

"Yes, but according to the report of the Imperial City Secretary, there is something hidden in it, and the prince is likely to be framed." Yan Yin said in a low voice, "If he is exonerated..."

Chunjia shook her head slightly: "No need."

The bead swayed lightly, covering the face of the emperor, only to feel that his eyes were dark, deep and dark, and he said calmly, "How to check and how to report later, there is no need to waste extra time and effort for it."

The geese lead their heads lower: "Yes."

The emperor didn't speak any more, turned his attention to the officials under Dan Chi, and listened attentively to the reasons why they refuted each other.

When Chunjia was calm, in the Spring Palace, the Empress Dowager Yuan was throwing a tea bowl out: "Ji's poor maid! How dare you bully me like this!!!"

I can't blame her for being so angry. Although I know that the return of the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji will definitely have a great impact on her status and power, but--it's only the next day, what did Empress Ji do?

In the morning, all the concubines went to Yanfu Palace to pay their respects. Empress Ji gave a brief instruction and led them to... Mianfu Palace.

Then Empress Dowager Ji of Mianfu Palace gave a brief instruction, got up, and personally led the mighty team to Qingci Palace.

The most terrible thing is that the Empress Dowager Yuan didn't receive any news during this time. Seeing that the concubines didn't show up when they came over on weekdays, I only thought that they had gone to Mianfu Palace. Although I was a little unhappy, it was not as expected. Feeling very sad, I just went to the sleeping hall to lie down and breathe a sigh of relief.

As a result, someone came from Qingci Palace at this time, and they spoke very politely, which probably means that all the harems have gone to Qingci Palace to pay their respects. Queen Mother Qu has to take care of the twin princes, so it’s fine if she’s not free. The Empress Dowager Yuan did not go there either, which made the Empress Dowager very worried, fearing that she might be ill or something, so she sent someone to take a look.

Empress Dowager Yuan: "...????"

She suppressed her anger and said, "In the past, the empress dowager's kindness, except for the New Year's Eve ceremonies, exempted the greetings. The mourning family only said that the empress dowager came back yesterday and didn't say any new rules. It's still like this."

The visitor smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager did not say that the harem should go to Qingci Palace to pay her respects today, but you ladies are filial and sensible, and the Empress Dowager is not easy to refute. Apart from the Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager and you, the Six Palaces have all passed, the Empress Dowager, thinking about such a big movement, you must know that there must be a reason for not going there, it can’t be because you didn’t go on purpose, right?”

There is nothing to say next, Empress Dowager Yuan knew in her heart that the Empress Dowager did it on purpose—sealed the news to keep her from knowing, and used the twin princes as an excuse for Empress Qu to be picked out, so as to concentrate fire on her, the loving Empress Dowager!

Now that I'm back, I'm going to put on the label of being unfilial and disrespectful!
