Chapter 78 Spoiler

Yun Fenghuang and Chao Jingyou grew up together and know each other very well.

Based on Chao Jingyou's situation at the time, if Jiang Lan extended an olive branch to him, even if she didn't have the intention, she would not refuse directly, but rather spoke softly and vaguely, so as to leave a way out for herself in case of unexpected events. ——After all, even though this daughter of the Chao family got her wish and married the person she and her family wanted her to marry, her life was not very good.

Not to mention Qi Jiulu's love for Yunfenghuang, it is destined that before he forgets this green plum, any woman who occupies the seat he thinks should belong to Yunfenghuang will not be treated kindly by him. With Niang Jiang's presence, it is absolutely impossible to make it easier for the person who replaces her daughter as the future mistress of the Qi family.

Even though Chao Jingyou was deeply loved by Qi Jiulu's mother, Chen Shi, since she was a child, Jiang's words in front of Qi Jiulu are much more effective than Chen's.

The Chao clan is not as powerful as the Xie clan, and Chao Jingyou's status in the clan is not as good as Yun Fenghuang's status in the Xie clan. She doesn't get much help at home, and her family still expects her to repay the family after the Qi clan gains a foothold.

In the husband's family, the husband doesn't like her, even loathes her, the mother-in-law is fine, but the mother-in-law of the rival in love is just like another mother-in-law, adding trouble to her anytime and anywhere.

Under such circumstances, Chao Jingyou would never let go of any chance to break the situation.

However……

Shouldn't that be enough for her to choose Chunjia between the Ji family and Chunjia?

Yun Fenghuang thought about it, the bad relationship between himself and Chao Jingyou was true, from childhood to adulthood, the two of them didn't hide their desire for each other's death.

Otherwise, after the incident about Xie Fenghuan broke out, Chao Jingyou wouldn't have come to the door specifically to mock her, wishing she would die in a fit of rage, or become a knot in her heart that would be borne in her heart ever since.

Therefore, since Yunfenghuang has been in the limelight since she entered the palace, and since she escaped the summer heat last year, she has confirmed her status as a "favored concubine" inside and out. Why would Chao Jingyou choose Chunjia when it is not a last resort? ?

But regarding how Chunjia made Chao Jingyou abandon the Ji family and choose him, Yun Fenghuang is not in the mood to delve into it now.

Because there is a very real question in front of her: since Chao Jingyou chose Chunjia, will she help Yunfenghuang conceal the past of her, Yunfenghuang and Qi Jiulu?

The point is, she will help conceal the deep love between Yun Fenghuang and Qi Jiulu's childhood sweetheart, uh, especially Qi Jiulu's obsession with Yun Fenghuang, and even killing him to the Imperial Capital for Yun Fenghuang? ? ?

Yun Fenghuang felt that this should be impossible...

It is true that Chao Jingyou has always wanted to marry Qi Jiulu. Although there are Chao's plans and the snobbish idea of ​​using Qi Jiulu's identity to improve her family's status in the Chao family, she should also have a real understanding of Qi Jiulu. emotional.

After all, Qi Jiulu is both talented and beautiful, and in terms of family background and power, he is also outstanding in this generation of Beidi. Even though he is dedicated to Yun Fenghuang, his attitude towards other women of similar age is not very good. But because of this, some high-spirited women want to poach the wall more and more, hoping that the person who gets special treatment from him should be replaced by themselves.

Chao Jingyou is one of them.

In order to distinguish Yun Fenghuang and win the favor of people like the Chen family, she has always been gentle and virtuous, never argues with others, and is generally recognized as well-behaved and docile.

But Yun Fenghuang has been fighting with her for many years, how could he not know that this defeated general is actually arrogant?

Therefore, even if this person has a certain degree of sincere love for Qi Jiulu, after marriage, he has suffered those indifference and humiliation, especially Qi Jiulu is thinking about using his own way to treat his own body, and arrange for her to end up as a Xie Fenghuan, so as to abandon the marriage So as not to take up the wife's position for her... Even if she didn't know this, Chunjia would be happy to tell her.

Well, aside from Chunjia's side, the Ji family must be very willing to be this "good guy"?

In this way, it is probably impossible for Chao Jingyou to hide it for Qi Jiulu for the sake of admiration before marriage?

It would be considered kind to not add oil and vinegar.

"Well, wait." Yun Fenghuang bit his lip and thought quickly, "From the perspective of personal grievances, it is impossible for Chao Jingyou to cover up the past relationship for me and Qi Jiulu..."

If this is the case, then the words of alienation and resoluteness from Qi Jiulu that she said in front of Chunjia before must be untenable.

but……

"Ben Gong has held the title of favorite concubine for so long, and she is not without reputation in the previous dynasty! If Chao Jingyou is really smart, she should deny that the relationship between Ben Gong and Qi Jiulu is close." !"

This is not for Yun Fenghuang and Qi Jiulu's consideration, but for Chao Jingyou's own consideration—you know that the emperor's favorite concubine used to be close to your husband, so it's fine when the emperor uses you. After the incident, why not kill your mouth? !

Otherwise, if only a few words are spread, making people laugh at the majestic emperor with his head on the grassland, how should Sheng Yu deal with himself?

Even if Chunjia had a reputation for generosity, it would be difficult to be open-minded and not mind this kind of thing. Because he doesn't mind himself, he also has to consider his subordinates and the opinions of the people in the world.

Even if Chao Jingyou thought about her own life, she wouldn't take such a risk?

Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang's beating heart finally calmed down a little while ago, but then he thought: Since Chunjia arranged for Jiang Lan to recruit Chao Jingyou during his exile, would he do nothing after he went to Beidi? ?

Yun Fenghuang believed that his old enemy's brain would not get confused at critical moments, and put himself in danger in order to vent his anger for a while.

But many people in Beidi knew that she had a close relationship with Qi Jiulu and knew about Kongquepo.

How could all these people be sober?

And Jiang Lan is not stupid. When he helps inquire about the news, he will clearly put on the banner of the emperor's confidant? Isn't that waiting for the Regent and Ji to kill him!

If you snoop in private, then... what you know is probably the truth...

Yun Fenghuang took up the cold tea and drank it expressionlessly——what, I have always known that Chunjia is good at forbearance, so I got the opportunity from Ji.

But when it was her turn, she realized how terrifying it was to have such a person by her side!

I'm afraid she and Qi Jiulu's matter, no, it should be said that her family, and even the details of the various entanglements of the various tribes in the Northland, Chunjia has long been clear!

But he kept acting as if nothing had happened, just waiting to give Ji a surprise right now.

Even pour a bucket of cold water on her!

The Qing people watched his master's face fluctuate, and he didn't dare to show his anger. Seeing her drinking tea at this time, Fang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and asked cautiously: "Then empress...do you have a countermeasure?"

"Yes." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "It's about keeping the same and responding to all changes."

Ji's plan has failed for a long time, so she still has room to struggle?

I can only wait for Chunjia to get away from the front and see what he thinks!

... The chaos in the court today is like porridge: first, the Ji family took the lead to force Chunjia to interrogate Deng Wengu in person, and then Chao Jingyou rebelled against the Ji family on the spot, and the climax was the death of Concubine Shu Shocked by the inside story, Duke Yi wanted to kill Duke Ye on the spot to avenge his daughter...

Although Duke Yi was unsuccessful under the fights of the ministers and Chunjia's efforts, he also beat Duke Ye to the point where Chunjia had no choice but to send someone to summon the imperial physician on the spot.

Then it became even more lively: the Ji family was of course unwilling to let go of this, and asked for a heavy punishment to Duke Yi; but the anger on the other hand was still lingering, and the Duke of Yi roared to ask the Ji family to return his daughter's life—— He is the only prostitute!

Love is like life!

Whoever killed his daughter would never end with the whole family!

Not convinced to fight!

Chunjia was pulling the sidelines for Duke Yi with a look of compassion, and while talking, the topic touched on the emperor's heir, making everyone think of the three generations of phoenix masters in the country so far. The biggest feature of presiding over the harem is that the emperor's heir is withered Sudden death... In this way, I'm afraid you don't want to abolish the empress on the spot? !

Just when those with keen minds thought of this, Ji's reinforcements also arrived.

Listening to the news that the empress dowager came, Chunjia sat quietly on the throne for a moment, then put on a gentle smile and got up to greet her: "Why is the empress coming?"

"I heard there was an inside story about Concubine Shu's death?" Empress Dowager Ji supported the queen's hand and looked directly at the young emperor who bowed slightly in front of him. She was not short among women, but Chunjia was tall among men. Now even though she bent over to show humility and filial piety, Empress Dowager Ji still needs to raise her head slightly to be able to see his face.

The queen mother and the empress dowager were in a trance for a moment, remembering that eight years ago, no, it should have been nine years ago, when this emperor came from Fuyang County, although he had grown into a vigorous young man, but between the eyebrows Full of childishness, not so tall in stature, but also cowardly at a loss.

At that time, she was sitting high on the phoenix seat waiting for his visit, and her heart and eyes were full of pickiness and contempt.

If it weren't for her failure to give birth to a prince, how could such a distant and poor relative in the countryside be able to get a hand on the honorable throne? !

He doesn't even have the qualifications to prostrate under the throne of the emperor!

...When did Chunjia grow up like this?

Is Ji's vigilance not enough, or is this person good at pretending, or, it's purely God's will, Gongxiang's fortune is not exhausted?

Empress Dowager Ji regained her composure, and asked, "From now on, why bother Your Majesty to waste time with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? Hand over the man to Ai's family, and ask later!"

In fact, she came here mainly for Chao Jingyou's rebellion. She was worried that the Ji family would be pursued by victory and would be powerless to fight back. She wanted to disrupt the situation, at least to give her family more time to react.

In the end, when he arrived at the gate of Taichu Palace, he was told about Concubine Shu - he couldn't care less about hating Chao's lowly maidservant, so he was in a hurry to ask for someone right now.

Of course, she also knew that it was unlikely that Chunjia would hand over such an important witness to her, so she said: "The Ai family and the queen need to take care of your Empress Yuan and Empress Qu for the past two days. The harem is gone, and how about handing it over to Concubine Xian for review?"

As long as a person enters the harem, he is not afraid of dying.

The queen mother thought so in her heart, and then looked at Yi Guogong, who was still full of beard and hair, "Although the concubine Xian and the Chao family are old, but I heard that the relationship is not harmonious, but they are the same as the sisters of the concubine Zhenxi Shu, Zhenxi The prince under Concubine Shu's name is still being raised in Xuanqing Palace, if Concubine Xian came forward to thoroughly investigate Concubine Shu's death, Duke Yi would surely trust him?"

Duke Yi subconsciously looked at Chunjia.

Chunjia didn't express her opinion immediately, but turned around and looked around the messy court hall, and after a while, she asked slowly: "What do you think?"
