Chapter 205 Who Could It Be if It Wasn't You? !
In fact, Chunjia is now suffering backlash against her promises: After learning that Concubine Xian was awake and her life was in danger, Empress Dowager Yuan summoned Chunjia to the Spring Palace, stared at him for a long time, without saying a word .
Chunjia was surprised: "Mother queen?"
"...Emperor." The Empress Dowager Yuan's face was very complicated, fluctuating for a moment, and she said with determination, "The Ai family is your mother, and she is willing to give up her life for you. You..."
Her next words seemed a bit difficult to utter, so she paused.
So Chunjia said considerately: "The empress mother's kindness to the child is as great as a mountain, like a rebirth, in the eyes of the child, you are the only elder of the child! If you have any orders, just say it!"
Empress Dowager Yuan was not happy or relieved when she heard these words, instead she sighed and said complainingly: "Then...why didn't you tell the Ai family in advance about what you did to Concubine Xian? Suspicious every day, I thought you were suspicious of the Ai family, and had a relationship with the Ai family!"
Chunjia took two breaths in a daze, then sighed deeply, and said with difficulty: "Mother...why...do you think...that the concubine Xian was poisoned by the child?"
"It's not you?!" Empress Dowager Yuan's stunned expression fully demonstrated her surprise, and what made Chunjia even more speechless was that she blurted out, "Who could it be?!"
"..." Chunjia was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Isn't it you, the queen mother...?"
If he had doubted himself so much before, Queen Mother Yuan would have been so angry that she could hardly stop crying, but now... she just doubted Chunjia, didn't she?
The Empress Dowager's face became a little stiff, and it was not easy to scold or cry. After being so stiff for a moment, she tilted her head angrily, and said in a hateful voice: "It turns out that you are pushing the crime on the regent, and pushing the crime." It was given to those four families to cover up for the Ai family! The Ai family should thank you for your filial piety!"
She almost squeezed the last sentence out between her teeth.
"What did the queen mother say?" Chunjia coughed in embarrassment, and said, "Isn't this my boy... Although it was found out that it had something to do with the Imperial City Secretary Anzi under the regent's hand, I always felt something was wrong. Now the harem of the boy Concubine Xian has the highest status, and she is vigilant, so how can someone who is idle do something wrong with her? So... I thought it was the empress mother who wanted to teach her a lesson?"
Empress Dowager Yuan kept a cold face, and snorted: "Since you think so, but you don't come to tell Aijia, do you secretly hate Aijia?"
Chunjia quickly vetoed that there was no such thing: "The child just feels ashamed of the mother, and it is not easy for the mother to raise the child, but the child often disappoints the mother because he likes the concubine Xian. After all, the queen mother is more important, how can the child make the queen mother sad for the sake of Concubine Xian?"
Although he knew that he said this purely to coax himself, he really felt that the queen mother was more important than the favorite concubine, why did he rush over to stop her from making trouble?
But the Empress Dowager Yuan eased her expression a bit, and said: "The Ai family really doesn't like that Xiaoyun family, but for your sake, the Ai family can't rashly do something to make you sad... just heard about it At that time, Ai's family became suspicious of a group of people, and even thought it was Xiaoyun's bitter trick, just like when she was a concubine before."
The queen mother observed Chunjia's expression while talking, and saw that he frowned subconsciously, as if he didn't want to mention Yunfenghuang's concubine, she sighed in her heart, wondering what kind of ecstasy did Yunfenghuang give her son?
Not only did Chunjia not suspect that Yun Fenghuang was responsible for the poisoning of the concubine Xian, but she also didn't like others, even the Queen Mother Yuan, who brought it up?
... If the Ai family had her means back then, they wouldn't have had such a difficult time under the hands of Concubine Zhuang.
This year flashed through Empress Dowager Yuan's mind, and she was immediately snuffed out by her. Gathering her mind, she continued, "But thinking that no matter how shrewd Xiao Yun is, he can't hide it from you. Seeing that you have asked the Imperial City Secretary to investigate thoroughly, it should be true." She was harmed by others. As you said, the Ai family also thinks that with Xiaoyun's status and shrewdness, there are not many people who can harm her!"
"In addition, she just stayed up all night because of Wei Zhaorong's birth, and there were major changes in the Xuanqing Palace in the early days. It was considered the most flawed time, and not many people in the front and rear palaces could seize such an opportunity. "
"About the remnants of the Ji family, the regent, and those four families."
"But just now I heard that Mrs. Gu came forward to impeach those four families, and the subsequent matter has almost been resolved... The Ai family thought you were making such a big circle in the name of Concubine Xian for this matter!"
"Actually, if you really did this, what are you doing behind the scenes of the Ai family? Can the Ai family blame you? Let's give up the four backgrounds of the Luo family. Concubine Xian should sacrifice a little, shouldn't she?"
The implication is that the four families of the Luo family have worked so hard in the previous dynasty for a long time, we all broke our promises, and we still let the other party confess that we are not, and it is only natural to sell another virtuous concubine... Emperor, if you really do it, just do it. Don't deny it, the queen mother doesn't know you yet?
You can definitely do such a thing, the queen mother believes in you!
Chunjia said helplessly: "I do plan to use similar methods to solve the successor, but I don't plan to choose a virtuous concubine. You also know that Haier likes a virtuous concubine very much. In addition, there is no leader in the harem now, and there is no virtuous concubine in charge." How can Concubine Rui hold on to the situation? So, the boy wanted to use Zhao Rong to make a fuss before."
Otherwise, although Wei Hengyan could not be compared with Yun Fenghuang in his mind, he liked it better than other concubines, and even liked Luo Hanyi and the others. Are you hesitant about protecting the big and the young?
Originally, I wanted to concoct a more euphemistic argument for the imperial physician to protect the emperor's heir, so that after Wei Hengyan left, it would not only make it easier for the fifth prince to be raised by Gu Zhen, but also stabilize Gu's heart, and also use her death as a fuss to attack those princes. The four families, let them take the initiative to plead guilty, and there is no reason to mention their daughter as a successor.
In the end, Yun Fenghuang intervened and saved Wei Hengyan—if Chunjia hadn't been willing to accept her a few days ago, but wasn't it just when the name was changed just now? He couldn't bear to refuse.
He was thinking about going back and looking for someone else. For example, he didn't favor Jia Pingye, who neither had a status nor a family background, and he thought it would be good...
Who knew Concubine Xian would go wrong the next day?
1510 explained the story to Empress Dowager Yuan, "Because the concubine Xian was poisoned in the palace, if the murderer can't be found with one of them, I'm afraid people will panic. So although the child still has doubts in his heart, he must give it to him first. Just come up with a statement.”
Who knew that his thoughts had been on Yun Fenghuang for the past few days, but the empress dowager secretly colluded with the regent and put him together.
"So that's how it is." Empress Dowager Yuan frowned, "Of course the Ai family knows that you prefer Concubine Xian, but since the news of Concubine Xian's poisoning came out, no one has seen her? The Ai family thought you were singing and cooking with her." If Gongxiang sent it! So, she is really not good?"
Chunjia smiled wryly and said: "Otherwise, my son wouldn't even go to the court meeting two days ago—do you know how much crane crest red was in the tea she drank? She was also unprepared, and drank almost half of it. At that time, the imperial doctor said it tactfully, which meant that it was basically impossible to save."
After thinking about Queen Mother Yuan's rejection of Yun Fenghuang, he hurriedly added a few more words, "Besides, with her fall like this, the eldest prince and Zhaoqing have no one to make decisions, and the child is not staying in Huanhua Palace. I am afraid that those two Children are also bad."
But the Empress Dowager Yuan didn't care about her son's protection of the concubine Xian at the moment, she frowned and said, "Since the imperial doctor said that she will basically not be able to save her, how is that good? Could it be that this concubine Xian has some background, Turned evil into good luck?"
Having said that, the meaning of doubting Concubine Xian is obvious.
"Those two imperial doctors have never had any contact with Concubine Xian before." Chunjia shook his head and said, "They are good at detoxification and trauma. How can Concubine Xian use them when she usually asks for Ping'an Pulse? Occasionally I feel unwell, and the ones I call are also good at women and babies. The imperial doctor... my child has already checked. They have never seen Xianfei or anyone related to Xianfei before. You know, Xianfei came from a humble background. Even if she is a Xianfei now, there are only a few people who can order her You can't hide it from the eyes of a child."
Empress Dowager Yuan still trusted Chunjia's ability, since he was sure that the two imperial physicians would not lie for Concubine Xian, so Concubine Xian is really dangerous this time?
But even so, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it does not mean that Concubine Xian must be innocent: "Maybe she repeats her old tricks? Aijia heard that on the day Wei Zhaorong gave birth, you repeatedly urged Concubine Xian to look more at the Xuanqing Palace, but I was worried. Has something unexpected happened to her?"
The empress dowager said all these words obviously to be open and honest to find out, in fact Chunjia also had the same meaning, hearing the words did not say that the empress dowager should not tell about Xianfei's advice, she just murmured: "Mother, virtuous concubine When the concubine first entered the palace, because of her low status and difficult situation, she often acted with a sword. But after becoming a concubine, she seldom took risks like this. You think about the three corpses before, she There is nothing wrong with the palace, it is because she has kept the civet cats in enclosures from the beginning, and she is not allowed to get close to the people in the palace!"
"And the situation when she became a concubine is different from now. It's just that if she can't give birth, won't the child who becomes the main palace be recorded in her name?"
"But if life is gone, wouldn't everything be in vain? Especially Xie's family is only getting better now, even if Sui'an and Xie Wuzheng's wedding is coming soon, if there is no concubine Xian, relying on Sui'an alone can bring Xie's How much glory?"
The most important thing is, "Since the concubine Xian has offered to make Mrs. Yaoning her successor, it can be seen that she is making long-term plans for her own future and does not want to be too oppressed by the middle palace. Then how could she put herself in danger, Gamble with your life?"
"..." Empress Dowager Yuan couldn't refute. In fact, she didn't think that Yun Fenghuang really didn't care about her life.
However, "If it wasn't for her, then you would have seen it, it wasn't Aijia, it wasn't you, it wasn't Ji's family, it meant that what Huiqian said was even more nonsense... It can't really be the regent? The regent said a few words for her as a concubine A quarrel, such a rush to kill?"
Of course, this was not what Empress Dowager Yuan really thought, but both mother and son tacitly agreed: Even if the regent really hated Yun Fenghuang and wanted to kill her, then he had to consider whether Qi Jiulu had completely let go of his former fiancée, right? !
Outsiders don't know why the Prince Regent and his son are so gracious to Qi Jiulu, but their mother and son don't know why?
It's not just because Qi Jiulu is very talented... Wei Changkong, who has six poems, is a teacher in the Prince Regent's Mansion, so how talented is Qi Jiulu? Is it worthwhile for the dignified Prince Regent and his son to win over him in every possible way?
In the final analysis, it was his temperament and personality that matched Zhaowu Uncle Gu Fangshu's eyes!
Gu Fangshu's descendants are not qualified enough to take over the Dingbei Army, and hoped to find another successor to entrust the Dingbei Army.
Back then, the Luo family took a fancy to this point, so they sent Luo Tieyi, who was born as a descendant, there.
But Gu Fangshu recognized Luo Tieyi's talent, talent and hard work, but he was quite afraid of his background, so he was always hesitant.
Before, Gong Xiangxiao proposed to the regent that he wanted to go to the Dingbei Army to hone his skills. In fact, he wanted to try to succeed Gu Fangshu just like Luo Tieyi.
However, he was rejected——and then Qi Jiulu appeared, from his family background to his temperament to his talent, he was very suitable to be recommended to Gu Fangshu.
That's why the Prince Regent's father and son have personally entertained him successively, and Chunjia even knew in his heart that Gong Xiangxiao would personally take him to a private meeting with his concubines, not only to win over him, but also to hold Qi Jiulu in the future Now that he is in power, the Prince Regent's House still has enough leverage to handle him.
... Therefore, no matter how angry the regent is with Yun Fenghuang, it is impossible for him to really kill Yun Fenghuang before Qi Jiulu completely cut off his thoughts on Yun Fenghuang.
This is tantamount to pushing Qi Jiulu, who has paid a lot of money to win over, into confrontation.
They don't have a second candidate to seek Gu Fangshu's mantle.
The mother and son were relatively silent for a moment, and the Queen Mother Yuan hesitated to make a guess: "Is it possible... that this matter was done by the Prince Regent's House, but it was not the intention of the Prince Regent and the Crown Prince?"
