Chapter 173: Concubine Yunxian Takes the Head Start

It was the Ji family who indirectly cheated Concubine Xuan, or more precisely, Empress Ji.

If Empress Ji hadn't negotiated with Yun Fenghuang, mentioned the grievances between Qi Jiulu and Luo Tieyi, and inadvertently revealed that Uncle Zhaowu hated Luo Tieyi, she would not be able to connect everything at the moment. In turn, it threatened Concubine Xuan.

"What do you think, Concubine Xuan?" The calm Yun Fenghuang smiled at Concubine Xuan, and said softly, "I am curious, Concubine Xuan, what do you plan to do? Since Aunt Zhanliu has seen the scene yesterday , based on the feelings of the loving mother Empress Dowager towards this palace, she must poke in front of His Majesty and ask me if it is... At that time, this palace can only tell His Majesty the ins and outs of the whole thing!"

"I don't know what His Majesty will think?"

"Your Majesty will not let you go!" Concubine Xuan bit her lip and said in a low voice, "It's fine if Qi Jiulu is just an ordinary foreign minister, but he and you...do you really think that you have nothing to do with his past in the Northland?" Does anybody know?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "So you are one of the people who know? It's really interesting, you are a noble girl in the imperial capital, what do you do to inquire about such gossip in Beidi? It is probably done by Luo Tieyi. He is really dirty, dignified A noble son from a famous family doesn’t think about serious business, only thinks about these crooked people, he really doesn’t make it to the stage.”

"Of course you have been trying to plot against me for a long time, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have specifically inquired about this section, and you wouldn't have arranged for Aunt Zhanliu to watch."

She sneered when she said this, and said contemptuously, "But so what? Anyway, my Xie family is in decline. With my background, I can be a virtuous concubine and have the status I have today. Even if I disappear now, then It's not a loss. After all, the Zheng family and Concubine Zhenxishu in front are better off than this palace!"

"It's you Luo family, hehe, you don't know how to show your loyalty to His Majesty?"

"Or, how can I trust His Majesty or trust you? Huh?"

Concubine Xuan's face turned blue: "I can explain to Aunt Liu that I am a concubine..."

"Are you changing back to the self-proclaimed 'concubine' now?" Yun Fenghuang smiled "ha" and waved his hands, "Forget it, with such a little scheming on your part, you can't help me even if you catch such a flaw , still want to go to the loving mother empress dowager to whisper? It's no wonder that the loving mother empress dowager would believe you!"

"You, it's better to go back and discuss with your family how to end this matter!"

The more she behaved like this, the more Concubine Xuan refused to leave, and said: "If you really don't care about life and death at all, why did you go all the way from entering the palace to fight for the current high position? I know that this time it's the concubine. If you fall down, you are willing to bet and admit defeat. If you have any conditions, just tell them and bargain hard, and if you insist on getting killed, who will benefit?"

Yun Fenghuang tilted his chin and squinted at her: "Are you planning to negotiate peace? It's possible. You tell Bengong first, who proposed to push Qi Jiulu to stop Bengong from talking yesterday?"

"...No one urged him, it's just that when you were going to go out yesterday, my concubine asked someone to go to his side to inform him, and he went out to guard by himself." Concubine Xuan looked at her for a moment, then turned her head , muttered, "One thing to say, His Majesty is so partial to you, and you are still like this... really..."

Yun Fenghuang ignored the latter words, thought for a moment, and said: "So you are not sure that he will go out and wait to talk to Bengong on the road, but why did you invite Aunt Zhanliu here in advance?"

Concubine Xuan whispered: "Isn't it two days ago that I heard that the Prince Regent's son would bring Qi Jiulu into the palace together, thinking that there might be a chance, I made an excuse to invite Aunt Zhanliu here in advance?"

"Aunt Zhanliu is not an ordinary palace person, she is the first-class confidant in front of the loving mother Empress Dowager." Yun Fenghuang didn't believe it. What reason did you use to convince her?"

Concubine Xuan said: "Isn't it true that His Majesty was not very happy after the King Regent came to the palace to meet with His Majesty the last two times? I went to the Spring Palace to pay my respects. The loving mother, the Empress Dowager, was also worried when she mentioned this matter, especially because the King Regent was in the mid-autumn festival. Disregarding the overall situation, there was a commotion at the banquet, which made His Majesty lose his interest in front of the clan and all civil and military officials."

"The concubine took advantage of the situation and said, why not ask Aunt Zhanliu to watch from the side."

"If it doesn't work, we can smooth things over in the name of the loving mother and empress dowager."

"In the name of the loving mother empress dowager, the regent cannot be suppressed." Yun Fenghuang said with a sneer, "It must be an aunt from Qingci Palace, why don't you name the empress dowager?"

Concubine Xuan lowered her voice: "Actually, an aunt from Qingci Palace was also there at that time..."

Seeing Yun Fenghuang looking at her coldly, she said uncomfortably, "I heard that the common man Zheng was relegated to the cold palace and finally given death because he failed to expose you. Find more people to watch it together, or His Majesty won't believe it."

Yun Fenghuang sneered, and said: "Knowing the fate of the ordinary Zheng family, you dare to provoke this palace, you are so brave!"

She thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "No, since Zhan Liu and the others have seen that scene, how can they not report back to their masters? Then you came to tell me if there is anything?"

"...Isn't this why I've never seen you in a mess?" Concubine Xuan shrank back and muttered, "Want to come here to scare me?"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang staring at herself, she looked around guiltily, for a moment, sighed, and said dejectedly, "I thought you would never pass this test, so I wanted to scare you, and listen to your views on the others. .”

Yun Fenghuang sneered and said, "Who are the others?"

"It's just... Concubine Rui and the others." Now that it's all said and done, she no longer hides it, and said straightforwardly, "Before you gave advice to the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and left the matter of choosing a successor to us. The four families are discussing. This hasn't come to a conclusion until now? I think that although the family is working hard on this matter, if something goes wrong with the concubine in the palace, it will definitely not work."

It's just that Concubine Xuan herself can't bear it, and the second is that there is no perfect solution, that is, she just stays put.

It's not that he thinks Yun Fenghuang is cunning, if it's her, there must be a solution.

Thinking that this virtuous concubine will be cool sooner or later anyway, it is better to take advantage of it while there is no accident.

The result was that he underestimated Yun Fenghuang's sensitivity and was coerced in turn.

Concubine Xuan was very sad: "The common people Zheng and Concubine Zhenxi Shu fell into your hands."

I really can't beat it!

Well, think about these two, she is almost ten years older than her, and she has been a full ten years older than her in terms of experience in the palace, so she can't beat Concubine Xian, it seems that her big defeat and loss are not so difficult Accepted……

She was thinking wildly, while Yun Fenghuang said slowly after contemplating for a moment: "I know, you go down now."

Before Concubine Xuan left, she still asked: "Concubine Xian, can you really get away with it? This is something that both the Empress Dowager and the two Empress Dowagers know... Your Majesty may have already received the news!"

"At this time, I'm worried that Bengong won't be able to handle it? What did you do so stupid earlier?" Yun Fenghuang scolded her as a waste, "I can't be a successor if you can catch Bengong's handle, so you can't use it to fight against Bengong. Is the palace sold well? Maybe this palace will help you as a successor if you are happy?"

Although that is impossible, just to lie to you.

But Concubine Xuan was very annoyed when she heard it: "You also said that you are happy, what if you are not happy?"

Originally, this concubine was strong enough, if she came to the door with a handle to discuss it softly, what if Yun Fenghuang refused to discuss it with her, would she turn her face and deny it?

It must be reliable to call enough witnesses, right?

If it weren't for the possibility that the entire Luo family would be dragged into the water by Yun Fenghuang at this moment, her plan would be fine at all!

Concubine Xuan left indignantly.

After thinking for a while, Yun Fenghuang ordered Chun Jia to be invited over.

Seeing her complexion from left to right, she was a little worried: "Your Majesty, what did Concubine Xuan come to say, do you need to invite Your Majesty now?"

At this time Chunjia had already gone to court, but she was still reviewing the memorials in the imperial study.

Generally speaking, there is no particularly important matter, and the harem will not bother at this moment.

"Let you go, just go." Yun Fenghuang said with a sullen face, ignoring the servant's inquiry, "When your majesty comes down later, stay away."

The Qing people whispered: "Your Majesty?"

She still wanted to ask more questions, but Yun Fenghuang gave her a cold look and dared not speak.

So Chen Zhu personally went to Taichu Palace to invite people.

Chunjia was busy at the moment, but knew that Concubine Xian was not a careless person, and couldn't ask Chen Zhu why. After thinking for a while, she finally put down the vermilion pen and asked people to prepare the chariot to Huanhua Hall.

"What did Concubine Xuan come over to say, in such a hurry?" The emperor pondered the possibility when he entered the door, a little doubting whether it had something to do with the successor. Could it be that he planned to break his promise and not give the position of successor to those four families? Concubine Xuan knew about the matter?

But seeing Yun Fenghuang greeted him with tears in his eyes, after saluting, he glanced around, told everyone to back down, then knelt down, and said in a sad voice: "I know that I am humble, talented and humble, and I am not worthy to serve Your Majesty! Today's favored status is all bestowed by His Majesty, but I have nothing to repay His Majesty. So now I beg Your Majesty to grant my concubine death!"

Chunjia was stunned, leaned over to pull her, and asked with a frown, "What happened? Are you looking for life like this?"

Yun Fenghuang refused to be pulled up by him, insisted on kneeling, and said suddenly: "This concubine knows that His Majesty loves this concubine, so it is true that there have been many methods of retreating to advance, but this time this concubine is speaking the truth. !"

"Concubine Xuan has the ability to force you to come and beg to die with me?" Chunjia sneered, and simply tucked the corner of her robe into the jade belt, leaned over and picked her up horizontally, and walked quickly to the soft couch not far away Putting it down, tidying up the sleeves of his robe, he said in a leisurely manner, "As for the others, you didn't give face to the regent yesterday, who else can blackmail you?"

"What is the regent? Sooner or later, he will be defeated by His Majesty's subordinates." Yun Fenghuang said with tears, choked up, "Now it's the loving mother Empress Dowager who wants my life, what can I say? It's just that although I don't Dare to defy the loving mother Empress Dowager, but also want to choose his own death method, I would rather die in the hands of His Majesty!"

Chunjia's originally relaxed expression suddenly froze, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The empress dowager has been ill, and you have been very filial these days. Not long ago, you went to the Spring Palace to pay your respects. What? Why did it become like this? Don’t let someone get in the way and make you misunderstand each other?”
