One Hundred and Eighty Second Chapter Full of Wind and Rain
Although there are already four princes in the palace now, the first prince is different without a son-in-law, let alone Yun Fenghuang, but there is only such a male heir, his face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly, With the wind under his feet, he hurried towards the side hall where the two heirs were housed, but he didn't even have time to greet Concubine Rui!
Then Concubine Rui stood up and subconsciously wanted to follow, but she was stopped by the dowry book after taking two steps, and she reminded in a low voice: "Mother, Concubine Xian must be very anxious at the moment, she is not in the mood when we go up Take care, but you have to be distracted, or just wait here."
The two children under Yunfenghuang's knees are rarely brought out for everyone to see, but they have always been calm, and I heard that they are well raised.
In the end, it didn't happen sooner or later, but something went wrong when Concubine Rui came to the door - if it was a false alarm, it would be fine, if it really happened, who knows if Concubine Yun Xian will anger Concubine Rui?
Why are you following up at this time, you don't think you're suspicious enough?
Concubine Rui came to her senses, hesitated for a while, and said, "Then let's go first?"
Before the clumsy book could open his mouth, he felt inappropriate, "That would seem like a guilty conscience, and it's not polite. Let's just sit here, we never leave the main hall, there is nothing to say."
They sat until almost evening, and no one cared about the lunch in the middle. They were so hungry that if it weren't for the strong wind and wind, they might have left in a hurry. As the sun was slanting to the west, finally there was a figure flickering at the entrance of the hall, Yun Fenghuang led the servants in, she was still wearing the same dress as before, her temples were slightly disheveled, and she looked tired.
"Why is Concubine Rui still here?" Seeing Concubine Rui, she was clearly taken aback, and hurriedly pleaded guilty, saying that they all went around the Eldest Prince just now and forgot about Concubine Rui's master and servant.
Anger flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes, she nodded slightly at Concubine Rui, and said apologetically: "These servants in this palace are probably from humble backgrounds, and when things go wrong, they make you wait here for a long time, you really deserve to die! Don't worry about it!" , I will definitely give them a long memory later!"
"Your Majesty has a loving mother's heart, and if you care about it, you will be chaotic. How can I care about it?" Concubine Rui said hurriedly, "I am also concerned about the Eldest Prince, so I never left... But I don't know how the Eldest Prince is doing now?"
It's okay if she didn't ask about this, but when she asked, Yun Fenghuang's face became even more ugly, took a deep breath, and said: "God bless my son, the imperial doctor said, if you don't have a fever tonight, there must be nothing serious."
That is to say, if the first prince has a fever tonight... Concubine Rui subconsciously thought that once the first prince made a mistake, wouldn't the second prince under her knee be the real eldest son?
Even if he was born of the daughter of the Ji family, the Ji family has already been destroyed.
In the past two years, some people still remember his background and treat them differently, thinking that they must have nothing to do with the big ones. But after more than ten or twenty years, the prestige and threat of the Ji family have long been forgotten in the memory of most people, maybe...
Concubine Rui secretly bit the tip of her tongue, so as not to be distracted in front of Concubine Xian, showed concern, frowned and asked: "This... the eldest prince is auspicious, he will be fine, please relax Heart!"
"My son is indeed blessed by the heavens. If it wasn't for something wrong today, I wouldn't know that the subordinates would be so bold! Even the eldest prince would dare to neglect!" Concubine Rui originally planned to resign after saying this, but it turned out that Feng Huang seemed to be in a fit of anger, and when she heard the words, she sneered, and said something that stunned her, "It seems that I have been too lenient to them all the time, for a shameless and lowly servant! Since I treat them well If you want to avenge your kindness like this, next, I will let them know what is the duty of being a slave!"
"This..." Concubine Rui wanted to ask the details, but she was afraid of adding fuel to the flames, so she hesitated for a while, but she still didn't dare, so she mumbled some words of comfort, and then she left.
After she returned to the Taoli Palace, she asked the people below to find out what was going on with the eldest prince: "The concubine Xian has always been meticulous. As she herself said, her servants were all brought out by Mrs. Xie. I have never seen anything from a small family. In the world, how dare you be harsh on the emperor's heir? Moreover, the concubine Xian cannot give birth to her own child, even if there is another Li family in the side hall who is pregnant, who has not yet given birth, who can guarantee that it will be the prince?"
"Is it worthwhile to cool down with the First Prince right now?"
"Maybe it was an accident?" Zhuo Shu guessed.
Concubine Rui shook her head and said: "It's unlikely to be an accident. Did you just hear what Concubine Xian said? She said that luckily the eldest prince had something wrong today, which made her know that the subordinates were neglecting the emperor's heir... Obviously this kind of thing has been going on for some time gone."
The humble book thought for a while, and said: "My servant heard that the number of servants sent by the Xie family to the palace is limited, and most of them circle around the concubine Xian. Selected palace man. Is it possible that there is sand in it?"
"But a person like Concubine Xian, who has won countless battles since entering the palace, can't even remove these sands?" Concubine Rui pondered, "Then where did the sand come from?"
The master and the servant looked at each other, and they all thought of the demise of the Ji family - the three generations of the Ji family held the Phoenix Seal, if you say that the most powerful and longest-reaching family in this palace is none other than this family.
Now that they are cold, although the people below will inevitably fall and scatter, there must be some loyal people who still miss the old master.
So, maybe he just wanted to attack the eldest prince so as to avenge the Ji family?
Not only Concubine Rui's master and servant thought this way, Liugong was very concerned when she learned that the eldest prince was ill.
Concubine Xian stayed up all night with the eldest prince in person with her clothes untied. When it was daylight, the child finally subsided from the fever.
Of course the empress dowager and the emperor knew about such a big commotion, and after dawn, Chunjia didn't care about going to court, so she came to visit first.
The eldest prince was still asleep, his little face was flushed and looked the same as usual, even very healthy.
On the other hand, Yunfenghuang, Chunjia rarely saw her in such an embarrassing state, her hair was disheveled and her face was haggard, and although her dress was still bright, it was full of wrinkles. On the hair bun that should have been inserted in the opposite direction, there is also a branch that has gone to nowhere, like a flower branch after a storm, beautiful is beautiful, revealing the loneliness of fatigue and decay.
"You're not an imperial physician. My son is unwell. Just ask the imperial physician and the palace servants to watch over you. Why bother to work so hard yourself?" Chunjia only stood in front of the eldest prince's cradle for a while, then held her hand and went outside. The corridor reproached softly, "Even if you value children, you think the two children are only so young now, how can they live without your care? If you get yourself out of trouble, who else can they count on?"
Yun Fenghuang looked at him in surprise: "They are also His Majesty's flesh and blood, shouldn't the most important one be counted on by His Majesty?"
Chunjia was at a loss for words for a while, and it was hard to tell her that he actually didn't value these flesh and blood very much, and he didn't even dare to show that he had nothing to do with Gongxiang Rang, because the concubine Xian would think that he didn't value them. That's why she despises the children under her knees, or maybe it's because she feels that the birth mother of the two children is humble and not noble enough.
After being silent for a while, he sighed and straightened Yun Fenghuang's hair: "It's easy to settle down, children are unavoidable to get sick, it shouldn't be a big problem if the left and right fever subsides, and don't worry about it, take care of yourself first, huh?"
Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and responded softly.
After sending the emperor away, she turned her head and changed her face, and closed the palace door, ordering everyone from Xuanqing Palace to gather in the main hall, slapping the table and cursing, the main idea was to suspect that the palace was looking at her from top to bottom. She treats her generously, but she is not used to it, so she murdered the eldest prince with kindness and revenge!
Of course, everyone didn't dare to accept this charge, and knelt down to defend themselves, saying that there was absolutely no such thing.
But Yun Fenghuang didn't believe it, and said that evidence had been caught, the reason why the eldest prince had convulsions and fever was the result of someone's murder, and now the people who started it caught him, but the envoy and messenger are still investigating. But it doesn't matter, it's about the emperor's heir, how important is it? She would rather kill by mistake than let it go. If she couldn't find any clues, she would let everyone in Xuanqing Palace share the same crime. Anyway, they belonged to concubines. How could she deal with it?
Yun Fenghuang's reputation in the palace was mainly due to the reputation among concubines, which had never been better.
But among the low-ranking concubines and palace people, her reputation is actually not bad, because although she is not considerate to these people, she is also rewarding and punishing them clearly, and she is generous, especially the young and beautiful concubines, who never do that. She stopped them from getting ahead, and even took the initiative to help create opportunities... So although the people below respect her, they don't have much fear.
Because getting along with her for the past two years proved that as long as she served her well, Concubine Xian would not seek trouble for nothing.
But this time Concubine Xian's outburst was very frightening, and what she said reminded them of the fate of the concubines who fought against Yun Fenghuang in the past.
The Xuanqing Palace was turbulent for a while, and Yunfenghuang didn't tell them to disperse. After the lecture, she went back and rested, and asked the Qing people to pass on the message to them. If there was no clue within two days, she would send all the concubines in the Xuanqing Palace. All the palace servants have been replaced, so she, a virtuous concubine, still lacks palace servants to serve her?
As for what will happen to the person who is replaced, there is no need to talk about it.
The former empresses, noble concubines and concubines all died and walked away, let alone them?
Everyone panicked at the moment, and at first they expected to find someone to intercede, such as Yi Xingen and other palace concubines who are usually very popular with Yun Fenghuang, but Yi Xingen wiped her tears and said how dare she in this situation?
Her own flesh and blood, Princess Zhaoqing, was also under Yunfenghuang's knees, and she was raised together with the eldest prince.
Now that Yun Fenghuang is being harshly attacked for the sake of the eldest prince, what does it mean for her, Zhaoqing's biological mother, to speak up? Do you think that the eldest prince is not under Yun Fenghuang's name, but under Concubine Shu's name so you don't need to pay too much attention to it, or if something bad happens to her daughter next time, it's better to settle down?
Then find Qing people and other close attendants, each of them said with embarrassment that it's okay to pay normally, but it's impossible now.
Because after the eldest prince's accident, Yun Fenghuang had already lashed out at the servants, saying that they were all useless, and they couldn't even look down on the two children. Temper, the empress is really angry at this moment, it is useless for anyone to intercede, let's do it according to the empress's wishes. Otherwise, no one will have a good result. "
Everyone's hopes were shattered, and after a brief sigh of emotion, they... began to expose each other!
This one said that she had heard the daughter-in-law next door complaining privately that the lord did not promote her. The other said that Baolin was jealous of Yi Xingen's ability to give birth to an emperor's heir, and another one was filled with righteous indignation and reported several "sisters" who had been in close contact with each other, but there was collusion with outsiders. ...
These news were true or false, and the Qing people were very angry as they recorded and sorted them out: "Your Majesty has not treated them well enough? If it hadn't been for today's announcement, I wouldn't have known that these little hooves were thinking so much in private! "
So when Yun Fenghuang saw it and ordered that all those who had been reported should be re-issued, no one around him persuaded him.
Originally, what kind of master there is what kind of servant, Yun Fenghuang is decisive, and her subordinates are also very agile, so after some executions, more than 20 palace servants were killed or injured, and the palace concubines were all dismissed. Three to five—the result was spread, and Liu Gong was shocked!
Because it was the time when Mrs. Chunke, the killer of palace concubines, was still favored, the number of palace concubines who disappeared before and after the Zhuzhu Palace must be more than this, but they were all one after another. One died today and the other became disabled every two days. kind of.
How can it be served in one pot at once?
Even if Yun Fenghuang had a good reason—to attach importance to the emperor’s heir—it was inevitable that he would be secretly stabbed in front of the two empress dowagers.
