Chapter 204 Wake Up

When the Empress Dowager doubted the Empress Dowager Yuan, the Empress Dowager Yuan also doubted her: "Prince Regent? Aijia thinks it's impossible! How long has Liuhong been with Concubine Xian? When is it not easy to do it? Why do you do it at this time?" ? Didn’t Concubine Xian just have an enmity with the Prince Regent!”

"On the contrary, Concubine Xian just went to Qingci Palace before the accident. Could it be the work of the Empress Dowager?"

"Otherwise, why did the Prince Regent make such complete preparations today that my son wasted all his hard work?"

Zhan Liu said: "Concubine Xian has been unconscious for a few days after being poisoned. Could it be that the regent is worried that His Majesty will find out the truth, so he prepared a backup in advance?"

She was not speaking for the Empress Dowager, but, "If the Empress Dowager has the ability to poison people without anyone noticing, then Xianfei is not the only one who goes to Qingci Palace to pay her respects these days."

The emperor has also been there, if the empress dowager can choose, how can she let the emperor not harm the concubine Xian?

"...Maybe." The Empress Dowager Yuan frowned and sighed, "This palace is still not clean after all! But I hope that my son can calm down the previous court as soon as possible, and clean up this harem... Otherwise, I can't let go of my family's grief!"

She is such a son.

What if there is something wrong with her?

This day Chunjia did not come to Chunjiao Palace, and only sent an imperial servant to run errands to express condolences. After he left Qingci Palace, he went to Xuanqing Palace again—Empress Dowager Yuan was in a very complicated mood, but there was a little bit between mother and child. The child's grievances have not been lifted yet, and she doesn't want to add pressure to Chunjia at this time, so she endured it, and told the waiter that everything is fine, and let the emperor concentrate on government affairs and the poisoning of the concubine Xian, and don't need to take care of her.

She will take care of herself.

The waiter went back to report to Chunjia, and Yan Yin, who had received the benefits of dipping willows in private, took the opportunity to say something nice to Queen Mother Yuan, probably because Queen Mother Yuan is your real mother, um, closer than your own.

Chunjia's expression was indifferent: "My mother always loves me dearly."

Then I buried myself in reviewing the memorial.

Of course, this day was not going well for the emperor. The combination of the empress dowager and the regent was definitely not a good thing for him, and it could even be said to be a big trouble.

The simple regent, Chun Jia has enough confidence to take care of it, at most it just takes a long time.

It would be easier to deal with the simple empress dowager, without the Ji family, this one has nothing but a noble status and seniority—it can be said that life and death, honor and disgrace are all in Chunjia's mind.

But now that they have colluded, the regent is equivalent to being protected by an elder who is biased, and this elder also brings his own inheritance from the Ji family; According to the old woman, if she is dissatisfied with anything, the regent can use the reason of questioning Chunjia's filial piety to the heir-grandmother to make a big disturbance in the court.

The most terrible thing is that there have always been rumors in the palace that Emperor Xiaozong wanted to establish the emperor's younger brother before his death.

The imperial decree was drawn up, but it was rejected by the Ji family—this is how Chunjia was enthroned.

I also know that the Empress Dowager must have contributed to suppressing such an imperial decree at that time.

Now that she is on the regent's side to deal with Chunjia, she might have to admit the imperial decree.

When the time comes, how will Chunjia handle herself?

In short, the following days will definitely not be easy for the emperor.

But after night fell, there was good news: Concubine Xian woke up.

Although she fell asleep shortly after waking up, and didn't even have time to say a complete sentence, the two imperial physicians who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days were still relieved: After waking up like this, if there is nothing unexpected, the empress's Life is saved.

The next step is nothing more than slowly pulling out the poison, and slowly recuperating to make her get better.

When Chunjia received the news and rushed over, Concubine Xian had fallen asleep again. He stood by the couch for a while, and ordered Xie Meng and Xie Kuo to be on standby outside the bedroom at any time from tomorrow: "If Concubine Xian has the energy to speak after waking up, you can Let them go in and keep company. Just be careful not to let them tire Concubine Xian."

Qing Du waited for the servants to respond cautiously, Qing Du turned around and told Zhu E and the others to let Xie Kuo come forward as much as possible, because although Xie Kuo is younger, he is more measured than Xie Meng, which is more worry-free.

"But Miss Meng might not be happy." Zhu E agreed, and reminded her, "I'm afraid there will be trouble at that time."

"It's up to her." Qing Du frowned slightly, and said, "The most important thing now is the empress. Once the empress... who among us can please her? If Miss Meng is not sensible, please ask her to go back to the house! You guys You should know the seriousness! If you are worried, I will bear all the blame from the empress or madam!"

In fact, if it was normal time, even if they knew that Xie Kuo was more sensible and well-behaved than Xie Meng, they would still prefer Xie Meng.

After all, they all came from Jiang's side, so can you take extra care of Jiang's granddaughter?

After all, Xie Kuo is in the next room.

But the situation is different now, if it wasn't for Chunjia's order, they didn't want the two children to disturb Yun Fenghuang at all.

But this is the emperor's wish after all, so he can only accept it.

Around noon the next day, Chunjia was still in the middle of the court meeting, and Yun Fenghuang woke up again. This time, she was in much better spirits than yesterday. After waking up, she still felt hungry, so she ate some porridge and asked a few questions about the current situation The left and right were afraid that she would be worried, so they didn't dare to tell them all. They only said that the emperor was still investigating the murderer, and that he had been stationed in Xuanqing Palace for several days because of her. Looking at her... In the end, let Xie Meng Xie Kuo come forward to greet her aunt.

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said a few words to them, and then couldn't hold back and fell asleep again.

At the court meeting that day, because Princess Minghui had not been taken back from the palace, there was no serious discussion about the poisoning of the concubine Xian, and it was not too intense.

But everyone felt that this was just a brief calm before the storm.

The long-standing conflict between royal uncles and nephews was on the verge of breaking out.

Due to the unexpected joining of the Empress Dowager, the originally clear outcome became unclear again... Chunjia rarely felt pressure. He also summoned some important ministers, and it was already time for lunch when he took Huanhua hall in this area.

Knowing that Concubine Xian had just fallen asleep a quarter of an hour ago, he felt a little regretful, but he was relieved when he learned that Yunfenghuang was much better than yesterday, with a smile on his face, and ordered to give rewards to the imperial physician and the Huanhua Palace .

Even Xie Meng and Xie Kuo got something.

The inside and outside of Xuanqing Palace revealed a burst of joy, even though Chunjia only visited the main hall and ignored the concubines in the side hall, they were equally happy.

Because the master survived, most of the concubines should be fine.

Especially people like Yi Xingen, Qu Hongzhuan and Zhao family who are usually close to Yun Fenghuang.

If Yun Fenghuang had gone like this this time, even if they hadn't all been sent down to be buried with the empress, they wouldn't have such a good day under the big tree to enjoy the shade.

Yes, although there is no lack of fear of Yun Fenghuang, the concubines of Xuanqing Palace have to admit that this position actually gives them a sense of security.

This time, because of the uncertainty of her life and death, several concubines even secretly promised to be a vegetarian for life to pray for her.

I'm afraid that after she dies, she will lose her backing and annihilate the palace.

Different from the joyful atmosphere of Xuanqing Palace, the apse of Hansu Palace is like an ice cellar.

Concubine Rui Ouyang Fulu, Mrs. Manya Meng Youyi, Zhaoyi Yin Jie, and the newly demoted Jieyu Luo Hanyi gathered together.

"How is this possible?!" Mrs. Manya, Meng Youyi, was the least powerful and impatient among the four, so she was the first to yell, "We have indeed placed some people in the Xuanqing Palace, but it is just a probe. The irrelevant news is all from the side hall, and even the corner of Concubine Xian's clothes can't be touched, let alone poisoning her tea?!"

"If you can really do this, you still need to wait until now?!"

"As early as when I entered the palace, I killed her!"

"Sister Meng be careful!" Concubine Rui frowned lightly and reminded in a low voice, "If this word gets out, we will be convicted of murdering Concubine Xian even more!"

Meng Youyi's chest heaved violently, obviously resentful: "The one who cleans himself will be cleared..."

"That's useless." Luo Hanyi interrupted her, "The Ji family is an example."

The four of them were silent for a while.

"Fortunately, His Majesty is still partial to us." Zhaoyi Yin Xuan forced a smile and said, "Isn't this... handing over all the evidence to the elders in our family and letting them handle it themselves, this...isn't it as if nothing happened?"

Then the other three people looked at it like a fool: "If your majesty really wants to pretend that nothing happened, as for handing over the evidence to our father and brother? It's obvious that you don't want to make a fuss!"

"...I don't know? It's just to cheer you up by seeing your lifeless appearance." Yin Xuan was a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, and muttered, "I know that His Majesty is doing this on purpose. But what can I do? ? We did buy eyeliner for Xuanqing Palace and inquired about the news, if nothing happened to Concubine Xian or if we were not found out about our handwriting, it would be fine, isn’t this being sued by Gu Shi before the imperial court?!”

"Your Majesty didn't make it public, but returned the evidence to my four families in private for destruction. How can you say it is kind and trustworthy... Where is it not the truth?"

This time the other three did not look down on her, but sighed together.

Even if they can't beat Concubine Xian, they are still from the big family, and they still have the basic awareness, that is, with Chunjia's way, the four of them, or the four of them, are unlikely to have successors.

Even though they only found out from home two days ago that Chunjia and her son had no intention of keeping their promise, they still felt disappointed.

After all, he had been aiming at this goal before entering the palace.

The results of it?

It was almost the last step, and it fell short.

"Tell me, who is telling the truth?" After a moment of silence, Meng Youyi thumped the table unwillingly, and asked in a deep voice, "Is it the concubine Xian who is instigating Your Majesty to cut off our future plans, or is everything just a matter of consideration?" Shi's conspiracy?"

No wonder she was at a loss, this matter is like this: two days ago, not long before Concubine Xian's accident, the four families got the news privately that Chunjia's mother and son did not intend to give them the position of successor at all, but wanted to use it. This man went to win Uncle Zhao Wu and poach the regent's corner.

This idea is that Concubine Xian specifically persuaded Chunjia, and Chunjia persuaded the empress dowager, in order to prevent the concubine who was born as a noble girl and favored by her from overpowering her.

The source of the news is the remnants of the Ji family. After repeated confirmation by the four schools, it is believed to be credible.

They must have hated Concubine Xian at the time, but as a family, the first thing to bear the brunt was not revenge, but to consider the interests of the family: did they follow the emperor's will and voluntarily give up the position of successor in exchange for other benefits? Or try to force the mother and son to keep their promise?

In the end, before they could think about it, something happened to Concubine Xian.

The four families communicated with each other in private, asking each other who made it?

Then it was discovered that this matter was not done by any family... They discussed it and thought that Queen Mother Yuan was more suspicious...

Because all the female family members in the family agreed that if the idea was really conceived by the concubine Xian, and she moved the emperor's words, then from the standpoint of Empress Dowager Yuan, even if she would adopt it, the concubine Xian would have to die!

Just two days ago, the four families were still thinking about whether they should intervene in the poisoning of the concubine Xian and Gu Zhen, and cut off the possibility of Gu Zhen being the queen?

As a result, just now, the emperor summoned the heads of the four families one by one, and threw a box of proofs to them, saying that Uncle Zhao Wu's younger brother secretly sent them. He felt that although the evidence was overwhelming, the four families were not such people, let them take it back and deal with it themselves, and be careful when doing things in the future, don't be fooled by others without knowing it!

The four families carried the box back inexplicably, and when they went back, they exploded: all of them were corrupt and perverted the law and all kinds of bad deeds, and after the fourth concubine entered the palace, a series of eyeliners were placed to buy people to spy on the emperor's traces, intrigue, etc. evidence!

...Although part of it is far-fetched, at least half of the things are true.

What else can this say?

If Chunjia punishes them, they can still complain, defend, appeal, and bite back. Chunjia directly gave them the box, saying that I don’t want to pursue it. I don’t care about you. I trust and rely on you. Protect you—under such circumstances, if they still go to the emperor to complain, what is it?

I don't know good from bad.

They can only hate and target Gu.

This was done by the previous dynasty, and as for the palace, they hurriedly delivered a message to tell their daughter to take it easy from now on, and not to reach out to other concubines, especially the concubine Xian!

At the same time, tell them that there is no hope in the future.

After all, Chunjia clearly revealed to the four families that the impeachment memorial and a box of criminal evidence were all handed in by Gu.

If the Gu family can hand over once, they can hand in the second time. The emperor is willing to protect them, will the Gu family do it?

If so, there would be no such box.

So next, the more decent way is that the four families take the initiative to propose to the emperor in private and give up the promise of successor.

Let the emperor go and make Gu Zhen his successor.

Meng Youyi suspected: "Perhaps this is His Majesty's purpose, Concubine Xian and Mrs. Gu are just taking a title."

It's not once or twice for Chunjia to stand up again, even Meng Youyi can't help doubting that he has done such a thing.

"...What did your family tell you?" Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fulu looked at each other, and looked at her with pity, "What is the truth about this kind of thing, why is it so important? In short, in this round, the four of us Lost, right?"

They are concubines who rely solely on the family, and the family has lost, so what can they do?

The former empress Ji Lingzi, after the overthrow of the Ji family, had no choice but to leave the palace and go to Shanyuan Temple to wait for her death, right?

Meng Youyi bit her lip, and snorted, "A man cannot stand without faith, His Majesty is going back on his word like this... I don't believe there will be no troubles!"
