Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 170 Feast of Vultures

"Concubine Xian." Seeing Yun Fenghuang not far away, the monarch and his ministers were slightly taken aback, and several important officials bowed their hands in salute, with all the etiquette, but their expressions were somewhat unhappy.

Yun Fenghuang knew why, they should all blame her for being too tit-for-tat to the regent just now, so that the regent left in a rage, took away the courtiers who supported him, and gave Chunjia a big blow in public He was ashamed not to say anything, and even put the conflict between the Tian family's uncle and nephew directly on the table.

Just now the monarchs and ministers closed the door to discuss matters, I am afraid that these people have spoken ill of her.

She hated secretly in her heart, but returned the gift with a nonchalant Wanfu on her face, and finally walked to Chunjia's side, and said softly: "Your Majesty has just drank a lot of wine, and I feel worried, so I asked the imperial dining room to make hangover soup, and I also told you Come here and have a look. I wanted to wait for His Majesty outside, but it was a coincidence that the door opened when I got here."

Chunjia had indeed drunk a lot just now, and she still smelled of alcohol at the moment.

Hearing this, she nodded and said, "My concubine has a heart."

Just hold her hand and return the table together.

This was a very common action, but Yun Fenghuang stiffened subconsciously, thinking that Qi Jiulu might be still outside among the flowers and trees at this moment, and might be able to see this scene.

Just now he appeared and left so abruptly that he didn't give her a chance to say a few more words.

She didn't even have time to ask about his injury and recent condition...

Chunjia noticed her momentary absence, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing." Yun Fenghuang collected himself, smiled at him, whispered in his ear, "Did Your Majesty feel embarrassed again just now?"

Chunjia chuckled softly: "It's okay."

As he spoke, he suddenly let go of her hand, picked something from her temples, looked at the palace lantern, and said with a smile, "I thought there was something on my concubine's hair, it turned out to be sweet-scented osmanthus."

"Osmanthus osmanthus is fragrant this season, and there are everywhere in the palace." Yun Fenghuang glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously, and said casually, "It's probably because I just passed under the osmanthus tree over there."

Anyway, just a few fine osmanthus flowers can't prove anything, and she doesn't feel guilty at all.

After the imperial concubine returned to the table, Yun Fenghuang talked with Chunjia for a while, and waited until a courtier came up to toast, which attracted Chunjia's attention, and then she glanced at the previous seat of the regent.

There was no sign of Qi Jiulu, so he should have left after delivering the message.

Yun Fenghuang couldn't tell whether it was a sigh of relief or regret, playing with the wine cup in his hand, he was in a trance for a while.

So Concubine Rui, who came over, had to raise her voice slightly: "Concubine Xian!"

"What's wrong?" Yun Fenghuang was startled, and when he raised his head, his expression was somewhat displeased.

"Your Majesty, Sister Concubine Xuan just drank too much, and she feels a little uncomfortable." Concubine Rui pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Therefore, I will go back to the harem early, and ask my concubine to tell the empress."

Yun Fenghuang said absent-mindedly: "Understood, this is not a big deal, she just told you that's all, don't have to come and report to me."

Concubine Rui said: "I must tell you."

She believed in Concubine Xian, so it would be a ghost. If she really didn't tell Concubine Xian, it's fine if Concubine Xian didn't notice. If she noticed, maybe she would cause something.

Since the regent and those who were close to the regent had left, there was no further disturbance at the banquet.

When the banquet was about to end, Zhu E came up from the bottom and whispered into Yun Fenghuang's ear: "Young Master Twenty-One asked if it's convenient for you to go outside and say a few words."

Xie Wuzheng is not a person who has no sense of propriety. Since he made this request, it must be something that cannot be conveyed by Xiao Chen and other female family members.

Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly at her, ordered Zhu E to lead Xie Wuzheng to find a secluded place to wait for him, then turned his head and said to Chunjia: "Your Majesty, I will go out for a while."

Chunjia was enjoying the singing and dancing with a wine cup, when he heard the words, he turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I'll talk to Your Majesty when I get back." Yun Fenghuang smiled at him, stood up and said, "Your Majesty may as well make a guess at this moment?"

"Hurry up and go back, the banquet is almost over, we should go back." Chunjia laughed dumbfounded, and waved his hands, "Otherwise, I won't wait for you later."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "If you don't wait for the concubine, let's see how the concubine will make trouble with you when I go back."

The smile on her face disappeared when she went outside, she glanced at the osmanthus tree before, and then let Chen Zhu lead the way to meet Xie Wuzheng.

"Niang Niang, is it convenient to talk here?" Xie Wuzheng seemed to be in a hurry, after waiting for a while, there was a look of impatience between his brows, he greeted him and saluted, and asked in a low voice without being polite.

With his attitude, Yun Fenghuang also became cautious and said: "You follow me."

So he took him to the side for a while, and came to a monastery, which was built in an open place, and there were only low shrubs and flowers all around, which was clear at a glance.

Only then did Yun Fenghuang say: "Let's see that there is no one here, just keep your voice down... What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen's Majesty has left the palace to visit Shanyuan, accompanied by Kang Jieyu." Xie Wuzheng licked his lips and whispered, "But I don't know that His Majesty still has friendship with these two... "

"Why are you asking this?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, "This is not something we are easy to intervene in. Besides, the Ji family has already asked himself to step down, and after the empress dowager agrees, he will not be a queen." gone."

Xie Wuzheng took a step closer, clenched his fist slightly, showing a ruthless look: "Your Majesty's talent and love, this time the Ji family is abolished, if it is not the family's drag, how will it be someone else's turn to succeed? If His Majesty has compassion for his wife, I don't intend to embarrass the Ji sisters after they become monks, so that's fine."

"If these two don't stay in the Taoist temple for long... Now that the four families of the Luo family are carve up Yu Ze of the Ji family, they can, why can't our family?"

Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then looked at this brother, his eyes changed a bit: "Is this the meaning of the family?"

"This is my own idea." Xie Wuzheng hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's just that I haven't got permission from my mother, and I haven't taken any action yet."

"It is His Majesty's intention that the four families of the Luo family divide up Yu Ze of the Ji family. After all, these four families have contributed to the destruction of the Ji family." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a moment and said, "And you have also seen the rudeness of the regent just now. , Your Majesty will continue to use them in the future, and always give them some benefits. Our family has not done anything, and our status is not at the same level as theirs. If we rashly share a piece of the pie, I am afraid that it will provoke public anger. Even if Your Majesty is usually okay I'm afraid I won't agree to favor this Palace."

Xie Wuzheng said: "I know, so we don't need to intervene."

He clenched his fists a little nervously, and Fang whispered, "We are not easy to fight for Ji's obvious property, and even if we fight, I'm afraid we will only have a mouthful of soup, and we won't get much benefit. But Ji Although the whole clan has been destroyed, there are still some individuals. Especially the sisters of the Ji clan who were sent to the Taoist temple. They are all the daughters of the Ji clan and have also been concubines. How can outsiders compare their understanding of the details of their own family?"

"Letting them issue tokens and hand over those that have not been discovered by the four families to our family, even if it is insignificant to the Ji family, it is still a windfall for our family!"

Yun Fenghuang's pupils shrank slightly, he shook his hands vigorously, and said in a low voice: "But why should they agree to you?"

"That's why I have to nod my wife so that I can negotiate terms with them." Xie Wuzheng said softly, "Kang Jieyu has two biological princes in the palace, and the emperor's heirs have had a hard time growing up, so I don't need my mother's care." ? As for the ex-empress... I don't know, but as long as I can convince Kang Jieyu, I'm sure she won't return empty-handed. After all, Kang Jieyu is no worse than the former empress in the Ji family in terms of background."

"...It's probably useless for you to use the two princes to persuade Kang Jieyu." Yun Fenghuang pursed her lips, thought quickly, and said slowly, "If Kang Jieyu really values ​​the two children that much, Before, I would not have come to beg this palace to allow her to go to Shanyuan Temple with the former empress, but left her own flesh and blood in the palace and ignored it."

Xie Wuzheng was startled when he heard the words, and said unwillingly: "Maybe the reason why she wants to leave is because she is afraid that the palace will always remember the origins of the two princes because of her?"

Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "I know Kang Jieyu better than you."

"Then Mrs. Xie can only continue to walk steadily." Xie Wuzheng did not argue with her on this issue, sighed, showing obvious disappointment, and said, "You are bothering your mother."

"It's not impossible to do this matter." Yun Fenghuang's eyes flickered, but said, "It's just that you can't lure it for profit, you can use coercion."

Seeing that Xie Wuzheng's eyes lit up, she pointed with a smile that was not a smile, "Now we have nothing to impress the two sisters, but... we can't help them, can't we make trouble? Later, I will ask someone to get a token Here you go, take it to the former queen and tell her, anyway, they can't keep what the Ji family has, so it's better to give it to our Xie family than to give it to someone else."

"Let's ask her if she is willing. If she is willing, I will remember her as a favor here."

"If you don't give it, don't bother, just say that you will come back and tell me the truth."

Xie Wuzheng was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "The former empress has nothing now, she..."

Will you eat this threat?

"Why does she have nothing? Doesn't she still have a sense of dignity?" Yun Fenghuang asked back, "everyone wants to get her result since the Ji family was destroyed. Her Majesty's remembrance of her old love is to be able to invite her down, let alone the Ji family. A generous burial. But His Majesty can give the Ji family a generous burial and mourning, and he can clearly see that they are not worthy of such grace. His Majesty can allow the former empress to end with dignity, but he can also ruin her reputation and be reviled by thousands of people when she dies!"

Anyway, she was going to decide on the benefits. Sister Ji Lingzi could either give it to her quickly, or face her revenge in the future.

Yun Fenghuang believes that Ji Lingzi will choose the former, not only because Ji Lingzi needs to save the last bit of decency for herself and the Ji family, but also because Ji Lingzi should be able to imagine that once the Xie family gets the legacy of the Ji family, they will quickly To grow up, you don't need to grow up to the level of the four Luo family and Ouyang family, you just need to be no longer far apart from them... Then, how could Yun Fenghuang, who was already restless, tolerate someone in front of him? Before? !

When it comes to the changes of the fourth concubine and above, it is impossible not to involve the previous dynasty.

At that time, whether it is Yunfenghuang relying on favor and means to kill those four families, or those four families join forces to defeat Yunfenghuang and Xie, it will be a kind of revenge for Ji Lingzi.

The most important thing is that Ji Lingzi's time is running out, Ji's family property can't be kept left and right, who can't give it to anyone, it's a little bit of trouble for Chunjia, isn't it?
