Chapter 191: Chen's Death
"You guys go down first." Yun Fenghuang ordered to clear the scene, and then said to her, "It's just a concubine, you are also a double body now, and you are about to give birth, so you should take it to heart? You don't think it's your Majesty's fault." You, is there anyone else who doubts you?"
Wei Hengyan frowned, and said: "Sister, it's not like this, it's really strange that Mrs. Chen went... If you don't find out, my sister is about to give birth, how can you not worry?"
This is almost the same, Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly: "That's true, then let's bring the relevant person up, let's ask together."
Then three or five suspects were found out, most of them were palace concubines who were usually close to Mrs. Chen. They seemed to be sisters, but they were actually full of jealousy.
This kind of jealousy is understandable, after all, as concubines who are not favored and only occasionally have the chance to get lucky, Mrs. Chen is not the most outstanding among them, but she was lucky enough to conceive the emperor's heir, and she has been settled since then ...Even if they were really affectionate before, it's hard not to feel acid in my heart.
These people reasoned that although they were a little disappointed in their hearts, they would never do harm to the Chen family: "You two ladies, please think about it: concubines are not favored in the first place, and it is rare for sister Chen to be happy, give birth to a royal heir, and win the favor of the empress. For the sake of my own future, I can only be close to Sister Chen and have no ill intentions."
There are also one or two servants of the Chen family, because according to reports from the concubines who have close contacts with the Chen family, when Chen was an unknown concubine earlier, she was kind to the people around her, but she didn't know if she was really uncomfortable after she was happy. She still feels that she has the qualifications to take on airs. In short, the life of those who serve her is not so easy.
Even a palace lady was disabled in the middle.
Wei Hengyan also knew about this, but a mere court lady is of course incomparable with a pregnant concubine. She just said a few symbolic words to Mrs. Chen, and ordered to arrange a place for the court lady after diagnosis and treatment. Don't worry about it.
The strange thing was at the palace lady's place. Yun Fenghuang asked someone to investigate, and found that the palace lady committed suicide by jumping into a well last month.
It would be understandable if she committed suicide when she was just beaten into a disability, but it has been half a year since the incident, and the maid's mood has calmed down long ago, how could she suddenly seek death?
Wei Hengyan wondered: "Could it be her revenge?"
"Where does a mere court lady get this ability?" Yun Fenghuang asked back, "I'm afraid she was taken as a raft by someone."
She thought for a while and asked, "By the way, I heard that His Majesty sent someone to visit Mrs. Chen yesterday? Did you mention it?"
"... My younger sister casually said a few words about how difficult it is for the Chen family to give birth. His Majesty was probably in a good mood, so I asked someone to watch it." Wei Hengyan was not sure what she thought of this matter, and after thinking about it, Said, "Those who went came back and said that everything is fine with the Chen family, so His Majesty didn't say anything."
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, this is also possible, although Chunjia's blatant partiality towards Wei Hengyan is not as obvious as her, but she is still gentle and considerate.
Wei Hengyan always took a gentle and well-behaved route in front of the emperor. Although he was not happy to see the Chen family having a child, he chose to say nice things on the scene, so Chunjia thought that she wanted to ask for some favors from the Chen family. It doesn't matter whether Zhaorong wants to save face, ordering someone to go there is only a matter of one sentence.
"Perhaps it's because of the envy of those who did it." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, and said, "After all, the biological mothers of other emperors did not have such kindness. Or start from this aspect and pass people over. Punishment once? If you don't show any color, that bitch and maid will refuse to tell the truth after all."
In Wei Hengyan's view, if such a murderer is not found, not only will the safety of the child who is about to give birth not be guaranteed, but most importantly, will the children left behind by the Chen family suspect that they are his mother-killer when they grow up? enemy?
As the child's mother and concubine, she is not afraid of the child at least for now, but there is no need to incur such resentment, right?
Therefore, he agreed without hesitation to Yun Fenghuang's proposal of execution.
Yun Fenghuang assigned this mission to Chen Zhu. Even though Chen Zhu was young, following her as a master could be regarded as resolute and resolute. The most important thing was that he had only honed himself in the grand battle of Xuanqing Palace not long ago. After a while, he intentionally gave face to his master, cheered up, and used his means to drag the suspects to a secluded place in the back. It didn't take long before he came to report with a bloody smell, saying that someone had indeed lied and confessed. Individuals, one palace man and one concubine, it was the inside and outside who conspired to kill the Chen family.
This truth is not too much beyond Yun Fenghuang's expectations. She asked Wei Hengyan, dealt with the culprit on her behalf, and ordered Chen's funeral—the funeral of an ordinary concubine is very simple. But since the emperor's heir is still a prince, he must give the prince some face, so he has to pay attention to it.
After being busy in Yijia Palace for most of the day, he returned to Huanhua Palace after noon.
After taking a sip of water, Chen Zhu, who was bathing and changing clothes, came: "Your Majesty, just now in Yijia Palace, when the servants tortured and interrogated, at first no one admitted to murdering Mrs. Chen, but two of them later admitted that according to the servants, It's just a trick."
Yun Fenghuang was stunned, raised his eyebrows and said: "That's strange, why didn't the Chen family disappear?"
"...The servant thinks that Mrs. Chen may have committed suicide." After Chen Zhu said this, he didn't dare to vent his anger.
In the eyes of Yun Fenghuang, an unfavorable palace concubine, it doesn't matter whether she is dead or alive, and she is not worth caring about.
But in Chen Zhu, there is no such qualification.
He clearly knew that Mrs. Chen was not murdered, but ended it by himself, but he still beat him into a trick. Not only did he find Mrs. Chen's confidant maid, but he also brought a palace concubine as a scapegoat. Don't ask for it either.
Fortunately, his master didn't mean to get angry, so he just smiled lightly and said: "This is really strange, there are so many people in the palace who are looking forward to having a son and a half daughter, but they can't. She has this blessing." , Zhaorong is not a ruthless person, why don't you know how to cherish it?"
Chen Zhu was about to speak, but Yun Fenghuang leaned back, and said lazily, "Forget it, she doesn't want to live, and there are people who want to live, so let's die if you love it. The left and right are from Zhaorong Palace, so it doesn't matter to me. side."
Just let him, "Since you know that you didn't mention anything in Yijia Palace, that's good, and you will treat it as if there is no such thing in the future. The left and right five princes are raised by Zhao Rong, and they don't need their biological mother."
Chen Zhusong breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, the servant will take care of it."
That day Chunjia went to Yijia Palace to sit in the evening, comforted Wei Hengyan, and then went to Yanhong Palace.
That night, Yan Yin personally rushed from Yanhong Palace to Huanhua Hall, passed on Chunjia's oral order, saying that he was talking to Yuan Zhaoyuan about some past events in Fuyang County, thinking about Mrs. Chunke's knees being empty after the death of her son, and seeing how haggard she was. Fragmented, Sacred Heart is quite sad. It's just that there are not too many emperor's heirs in the palace now. After thinking about it, only Yun Fenghuang has both children, so let's send the pregnant Li Shi to Mrs. Chunke's care, just as a consolation.
When Yan Yin said this, he was very cautious, because he was afraid that Yun Fenghuang would have an attack.
After all, since Concubine Xian entered the palace, when has she ever suffered a disadvantage?
Even if she has both children, Liang's going to Luo Hanyi's side was not only the emperor's own words, but also Luo's paying for a child's marriage to settle the matter.
Now, with just a few words for Yuan Zhiniang, she wants to take Li Shi away, this...
"..." Yun Fenghuang did not answer immediately, but was silent for a long time before saying calmly, "I know. It's just that it's getting late now, and I'm quick to pack things for Mrs. Li, but ...Is there any preparations at the Dendrobium Palace? After all, a person with twin bodies is still pregnant with an imperial heir, so they can't be arranged at will, right?"
Yan Yin apologized and said with a smile: "What Your Majesty said is that His Majesty just had that intention, but she didn't say when she must send him over."
Yun Fenghuang said "um", then waved him away and sent him back.
"Your Majesty, what is this, Your Majesty?" After he left, he hurriedly surrounded him, full of indignation and suspicion, and the Qing people whispered, "Although your Majesty has both children and children, everyone knows that the First Prince is recorded in Shu. Concubine Empress's knees! Earlier, Mrs. Liang was pregnant and was given to Yanlan Palace. Now, Mrs. Li has also got news. Before she shows her pregnancy, she will give it to Mrs. Chunke——Your Majesty When will you have your own prince?!"
Although Chunjia herself is an example of being kind rather than raising kindness, the Empress Dowager Yuan is Chunjia's serious aunt after all, isn't she?
What about Yunfenghuang?
Her concubine mother is really just the adoptive mother of the eldest prince—even if the eldest prince has never met his concubine mother, but the name is left here. Yun Feng Huang!
How could the Qing people not worry about the wind and the wind?
No matter how the eldest prince occupies the title of the eldest son of the emperor, it is not under the name of Yunfenghuang, or it is not under the name of Yunfenghuang!
Princess Zhaoqing is the daughter of Yun Fenghuang who is serious!
"I have my own opinion on this matter, so don't talk about it." This was what Chunjia told Yun Fenghuang privately, and Yun Fenghuang also understood his intentions, so of course he would not stop him, so he said silently for a moment, "And Li Shi has only been pregnant for how long, how do you know that it is definitely a prince? If it is a princess, it is not like this palace has no daughters. "
The Qing people said: "What if? Anyway, it's not that we can't support it. Why do we have to give it to other people? Especially Mrs. Chunke! This master died so young that even his own flesh and blood died. I heard that he murdered him earlier. There are countless pregnant concubines, and sending Li Shi there is no different from sending her to die? It's okay for her to die, but isn't it a pity to have the emperor's heir in her belly?"
Even if Li Shi is only pregnant with a princess, it is still valuable.
After growing up and descending, can you give Yun Fenghuang a helping hand?
If it is really impossible to marry Xie's next generation of heirs, it can also promote Xie's lintel even more, can't it?
Anyway, it's better than giving it away.
"Your Majesty has said so, can you and I stop it? Besides, Your Majesty is still young, and it's not like no one in this palace can give birth except Mrs. Li. Do you think it's worthwhile to offend Your Majesty for such a person?" With mixed feelings, I didn't have the heart to say more to them, so I turned cold and said, "It's done, there is no need to mention this matter, I have agreed to it, what else can I do?"
He looked at Qing Du, "Have someone go to Mrs. Li and say something. Although Yan Yin said that His Majesty didn't say when to send him over, there's no need to procrastinate. I'll pack it up for her tomorrow morning and send it to Mrs. Chunke over there."
Qing Du sighed and agreed, and then... after Yun Feng Huang had washed and cleaned up, she was settled, when she heard a sharp cry from outside!
