Chapter 63

"Qi Jiulu's life is dying?" Empress Ji was taken aback, she sat up subconsciously, and said in a deep voice, "When did this news come out?!"

"Your Majesty doesn't know yet?" Yun Fenghuang looked at her expression carefully, and felt that she didn't seem to be fake, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Then you should ask the people around you whether they regard you as their master or not—even the concubine You have got the news, what is the identity of the empress, and you don't know anything about it?"

Empress Ji glanced at the left and right, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, the maidservants don't know about this either!"

"You guys go down first." The queen ordered to clear the place, and then asked Yun Fenghuang, "What's going on here?"

Yun Fenghuang didn't answer but instead asked: "Qi's son will be in great trouble, and only Ji can't solve it... Isn't this what the empress said about the concubine before? Now, why is the empress asking about the concubine?"

"What happened last time has passed." Empress Ji squinted at her, "You also said that people's lives are in danger now, so it can be seen that the injury is the most recent thing. Counting the time when you returned to the palace to warn you, it has been a long time since now. How long has it been?"

Yun Fenghuang didn't argue with her either: "So, this time, the Ji family was also kept a secret?"

Empress Ji said vigilantly: "I haven't received any news from outside in the past two days."

The implication is that the Ji family may not know it.

After all, now is the time when the Ji family is in decline. If the news is not well-informed, it may be sold by allies—especially Yun Fenghuang, an ally with rich experience in treason.

The queen then said, "Don't you think about him anymore? What are you afraid of? He came to the imperial capital to seek medical treatment, but he didn't come to seek you. Even if the people behind the scenes forcefully drag him onto you, with your means, you will still be able to return." Afraid that there is no way to get rid of it?"

Yun Fenghuang sneered slightly, and said: "Madam, why should you speak secretly in front of Ming people? Although the concubine and Qi's son have nothing to do with each other, the two families are in the same hometown, and they have been in contact for many years. How can it be so easy to sever the relationship? The Qi family is now The number of descendants is weak, and the position of the eldest son is important. If Qi's son is gone like this, how can Qi's not hate Xie?"

"Originally, the family of the Xie family is humble, far worse than that of the Ouyang family of the Luo family. Even if the concubine's brothers are loved by His Majesty and given to marry the princess, it will be difficult to catch up with the demeanor of a serious and famous family."

"If there is another person who is holding back..."

There was an undisguised sarcasm on her pretty face, "Should there be any troubles between the Ji family and the empress, what can I do to compete with the daughter of the Luo family and Ouyang's daughter?"

"You're sure that the Ji family won't be able to survive, and sooner or later the palace will give way to you?" Empress Ji was not angry either. Since Chunjia took power, who has never thought about Fengzuo among the concubines in this palace?

The difference is that some people are bold, like a concubine, who is blatant; some people are timid, thinking secretly.

The queen felt that she couldn't get angry, but she was calm, and she just asked a little back, and said, "I know about this, and I will send someone to inquire later... If it is really aimed at you, I will let you know." People pay attention."

"Your Majesty, don't talk like this is a matter of the concubine alone." Yun Fenghuang reminded, "The Qi family suffered a disaster last time. Since the Ji family has made a move, this time, who knows if someone wants to test the Ji family. , but it's just taking advantage of the situation to implicate the concubine?"

Empress Ji didn't even bother to care about her behavior of beating up and turning black and white, she snorted and said, "Did you know what he did last time would be poisoned?"

Before Yun Fenghuang could answer, the queen continued, "He is the one who threatened Luo Tieyi's future, and the Luo family will naturally not tolerate him... It's just that you are going to argue with Luo Tieyi why Qi Jiulu just joined the Dingbei Army." Woolen cloth?"

Luo Tieyi, as the elder brother of Luo Hanyi and the direct son of the famous Luo family, joined the Dingbei Army when he was young. He started from the army and went step by step to today. He is an extremely outstanding figure in the Dingbei Army.

The prosperity of the limelight is even higher than that of the son of Uncle Zhaowu.

For such a master, a newcomer to the Dingbei Army only needs to have a family background, ability, qualifications and qualifications. Even Qi Jiulu, who was born in the Northland and is regarded as half of the Dingbei Army, should not follow him logically. conflict.

Although Qi Jiulu is not a nice guy, it's not like he doesn't know how to avoid the edge temporarily.

But he provoked Luo Tieyi to the point of killing him...

"In this way, it is very likely that Ji's resolution at that time was fruitless, and Luo Tieyi seemed to calm down, but secretly attacked?" Yun Fenghuang clenched the silk handkerchief in his hand, but his face was calm, and his tone was flat. , "Even, do you still want to burn the fire to the imperial capital?"

Empress Ji took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "I can't be sure about this. However, you have suppressed Luo Hanyi several times recently, and it is not impossible for her to be a brother's beloved sister."

Yun Fenghuang sneered, and said, "My lady, when did this concubine do it all by herself to suppress Luo Hanyi? Does this concubine have the ability? Of course, it's not a big deal. Let's talk about Luo Hanyi, even the whole Luo Hanyi Everyone feels that the relegation of their concubine's concubine from concubine Xuan to Xiuyi is what the concubine did, so why should I be afraid?!"

"It's just that I don't know why the empress thinks that Mrs. Ji can stand by and watch the good show right now?"

"The Xie family is vulnerable in the eyes of the Luo family. Otherwise, the eldest son of the Qi family, who is slightly stronger than my Xie family, why Luo Tieyi said that he was calculating? The Luo family would never regard such a concubine as a serious problem. The one who really wants to get rid of it quickly, isn't it the empress, or the Ji family?!"

She said lazily, "If the concubine is Luo Tieyi, the last time Ji Shi came forward to mediate the conflict between him and Qi Shizi, he would have left a handle. Now that Qi Shizi is still alive, he deliberately left his life to arrive. Dijing... When people come to Dijing, when the time comes, combined with Ji's involvement in it, there will be more places to make a fuss about!"

"After all, the Dingbei Army has a deep relationship with the Prince Regent. Qi's son lives in Cuiyuan, and the Prince Regent is uncle and nephew with His Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, take a taste, do you taste it carefully?"

Empress Ji's face turned red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple for a while, before she sneered and said, "You are so eloquent - after all, it's just that you love Qi's son and don't want to take risks, but you want to make me Ji Working hard for you?"

She squinted her eyes and looked straight at Yun Fenghuang, "Mu Zi must become a concubine within three days!"

Yun Fenghuang looked at her, swords were on the line between the concubines, the atmosphere in the hall was tense, like a bowstring stretched to the extreme, after a while, Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "It doesn't take three days, this matter can be done by a concubine today." You did it."

Empress Ji didn't show any emotion on her face, and continued: "Also, it's okay to marry Penglai to your brother. At least one of Minghui and Jinyun belongs to the Ji family!"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang frowning, seeming to be in trouble, Empress Ji sneered, "You also said just now that Qi Jiulu was born in Cuiyuan, and he is the regent's king. This time he was seriously injured and his life was in danger, but it is very likely that he came from Luo His handwriting... He was sent to the imperial capital to seek medical treatment, most likely not out of his own will, but as a pawn, at his mercy! Then what is the next battle? Such hardships, is it not worth the downfall of a princess?! "

Yun Fenghuang only thought for a while, and said: "This concubine agrees to this condition, but there is one thing: Luo Tieyi must die!"

Since this person had already intended to kill Qi Jiulu, even this matter may have been written by him—of course, it may not be—but it doesn't matter, anyway, she doesn't feel bad, and would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

Compared with Qi Jiulu's safety, Yun Fenghuang feels that Luo Tieyi is not dead, and she feels uneasy.

"I can't guarantee it." However, Empress Ji shook her head and said, "After all, you come from a humble background, and you have only been in the imperial capital for a few years, so you don't know Luo Tieyi very well. This person is quite different from ordinary people when he was young. The highly anticipated Qian Liju. He is also a first-class talent among the young Junyan from the famous family in the world, how can he be easy to deal with?"

"You want to use the relationship between the Dingbei Army and the Prince Regent, the Luo family is now defecting to His Majesty, and has never been close to the Regent before. How can he be able to enter the Dingbei Army and still be so successful?"

The queen persuaded her, "If you feel overwhelmed, you might as well deal with Luo Hanyi...It is said that Luo Tieyi loves his younger sister very much. With your means, it is not difficult to use this to check and balance him, so that he does not dare to make mistakes."

He also said, "Besides, Luo Tieyi is not the kind of person who likes to make grudges for no reason. Why don't you turn around and persuade Qi Jiulu not to be confused?"

Yun Fenghuang sneered in his heart, feeling that she would not hurt her back simply by standing up and talking, but she didn't bother to refute, so she just said: "Then change to Luo Hanyi and be the same as the concubine, and the children will never be born."

She smiled and said, "This matter is not difficult for the empress, is it? After all, when Mrs. Zheng died, she didn't know that she was pregnant with a boy. How did it go wrong?"

"You're wrong about this." Empress Ji didn't change her face, she played with the tea bowl in front of her, and said slowly, "Zheng wanted to see you before I went, but you didn't see her, but I was soft-hearted and asked the people around me to send her off. For a while, I will explain the whole story to her in the future, and at least let her make a fool of herself... After all, she used to be a noble concubine, and served His Majesty with me for many years.

"Even if you lose your reputation, you can still have a little grace."

Yun Fenghuang praised: "The empress has a kind heart, and I am ashamed of myself."

Just ask, "But I don't know..."

"Anyway, Concubine Xian has lost all heirs, why? Are you still afraid of going the same way as the Zheng family?" Empress Ji interrupted her, "But why are you curious about such things?"

"Have you forgotten, my lord? The eldest prince is only raised by my concubine on behalf of Concubine Shu's sister, and under my own name, but only Princess Zhaoqing is one." Yun Fenghuang said, "Although the princess is cute, I also hope that the concubine will be real. Both sons and daughters."

Empress Ji sneered and said: "Concubine Xian is very blessed. Since Xuanqing Palace can give birth to the first prince and Princess Zhaoqing in a peaceful manner, why worry about something going wrong with the pregnant concubine? Even if something happens, then It's also because of her shallow fortune, she is not qualified to give birth to an imperial heir... There are too many young concubines in your palace, right?"

She didn't want to talk about this topic, and brought up the matter of Qi Jiulu again, "Since Qi Jiulu's life is in danger, this matter cannot be delayed. My son of the Ji family is still the Lord, but I have to invite a concubine Xian, so please take care of me!"

After speaking, he picked up the tea and signaled to see off the guests.

Yun Fenghuang didn't linger either, and left after getting up and being blessed.

On the way back to Xuanqing Palace, her face was very ugly, and she suspected that Ji Shi did it on purpose.

Even if Qi Jiulu would face off against Luo Tieyi, I'm afraid it wasn't just Qi Jiulu's own wish, and it might not be without Ji's handwriting in it.

The Ji family is going to use Qi Jiulu to force her to contribute, to get a princess for the Ji family, as a guarantee after losing the temple battle-but as long as she still cares about Qi Jiulu's life and death, at least she is just suspicious, even if Empress Ji just recognized Zheng's As if the male heir was stillborn, he admitted that this was done by the Ji family... Yun Fenghuang didn't have much room for bargaining.

In all fairness, Yun Fenghuang's loss in this round was not unjust. After all, the Ji family has been able to dominate the government and the public all these years, so it must not be for nothing.

How could it be possible for her, a humble concubine, to take advantage of everything and not pay?

Chun Jia, who really made the Ji family stumble, has repeatedly reminded her of this point.

Sitting down in Huanhua Hall, swiping back and forth, Yun Fenghuang pondered alone, how to break the situation?

She had persuaded Chunjia about Ji Muzi's concubine concubine early in the morning, and it is not impossible to let Ji's children become the Lord... But this kind of thing has one thing and two things.

She couldn't hide Qi Jiulu's weakness after all.

If she doesn't want to fall into the situation of being led by the nose, being used up and then abandoned or even sacrificed, she must not follow Ji's rhythm.

However, Qi Jiulu wants to save and protect himself, but what can he do to get the best of both worlds?
