Chapter 217: Reminder From Concubine Xian

Princess Minghui's veil trembled slightly, which showed the unrest in her heart.

She almost wanted to say directly: "Okay, Ben Gong promises!"

In this case, let's see how Xiao Yun's self-judgment is done in public!

Let's also see, will the one on Danchi stand up to stop him? !

If he stopped him, it would be just right, Chunjia couldn't get rid of the accusation of neglecting the late emperor's flesh and blood for a favored concubine.

If he is determined not to stop, that's not bad, let him also taste the feeling of watching his beloved go to death, but helpless!

However, the glances cast by many courtiers not far away and the dry cough from time to time made Princess Minghui hold back.

She can't nod her head.

Once she agreed to Concubine Xian's suggestion, she would admit that she knew what Ji Sheng was doing in private, and kept silent, even helping to cover it up.

Sit back and watch two generations of emperor's heirs suffer, and Emperor Xiaozong's crime of extinct is not much better than murdering the emperor's heir directly. Moreover, Xiaozong is her biological father, and all the special courtesy and special treatment she receives in the former court and harem now The care comes from the father's legacy.

And whenever she made an act that was considered unfilial to the late emperor, this kind of courtesy and care would be backlashed in an instant.

Everyone loves her because of Xiaozong, and hates her because of Xiaozong.

Even if it is to sit back and watch Chunjia's heirs be murdered, it is not justified.

Chunjia did not treat him badly on the bright side, although logically speaking he is not Xiaozong's flesh and blood, it is really aggrieved that Xiaozong's own flesh and blood depends on his face to live.

But from a legal point of view, Xiaozong has no heirs, not Chunjia, but someone else, anyway, it will not be Minghui who ascends the throne.

During the eight years when the emperor was not in power, he spent a lot of time with his three heirs. This is well known... Under such circumstances, Minghui knew that his heirs were murdered by their own mother. Who can not be chilled without saying a word?

From then on, Chunjia didn't take care of her so much, and even treated her coldly, and everyone had no reason to say anything wrong with Chunjia.

Some people even think that Minghui deserves it.

"...What I hate is always relying on the emperor's favor to run wild in the six palaces, and even a princess in this palace can't tolerate you. What is Guan Huangxiong doing with the emperor's heir?!" Minghui bit hard The lower lip said firmly, "Don't bother me here and slander me and Uncle Wang! Of course I don't know anything about what the common man Ji Sheng did! How old was I when the late emperor left? Your virtuous concubine is shrewd and capable, knowing everything and seeing through everything when she is less than ten years old?!"

"As for the emperor's brother's ascension to the throne, I was raised by the emperor's elder brother. If I have concealed something from the emperor's brother, will the emperor's brother not be able to see?"

"Your concubine Xian is certainly proud of the city, how can you be more powerful than the emperor?!"

"Or do you think that the emperor's brilliance and martial arts can be deceived by me?!"

As she spoke, she stood up excitedly, turned around and asked Dan Chi, "Brother Emperor, tell me, do you, like Concubine Xian, suspect that I know about the three corpses, but deliberately conceal it from you?!"

Minghui is sure that Chunjia will not veto her.

Because between the first emperor's daughter and the favorite concubine, unless the first emperor's daughter committed such serious crimes as disobedience and murder of the emperor's heir, he must stand on Minghui's side.

"...Brother Wei is sorry for you." After pondering for a while, Chunjia sighed, and said leisurely, "Brother Wei has never been in charge before, and he spends a lot of time with you, Yun'an, and Sui'an. At that time, you and my brother and sister were very close, and we knew each other's thoughts at a glance, and there was no need to guess. But since I was in power, I have been in the government for my brother, and I have neglected you for a long time, so that even if you were poisoned and murdered, I have nothing to do Know! Thinking back to the past, when you, Yun'an and Sui'an were still young, you once held Brother Wei's hand and asked Brother Wei if he could accompany and protect you all the time. Brother Wei was also young at the time, so he confidently agreed... Now Thinking about it, I'm really ashamed..."

"Received the late emperor's great kindness for my brother, and I can't repay it, but I can't even do things like take care of you three sisters. I am really ashamed of the late emperor and the trust of Ye Guogong..."

As he spoke, his voice choked up, and he even raised his sleeves to wipe it off in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and his mood was clearly depressed, "Think about how old you are this year? Before living alone in the palace, even with your biological mother accompanying you, it would be aggrieved." It's enough to be terrified. Not long ago, your biological mother passed away, and my brother wanted to take you back to live. But the imperial doctor said that you were not in good health, so I had to give up. I think about you day and night these days, my brother is afraid of you If you are alone on the mountain, you will be afraid. You are not a straight-tempered person from the beginning, and you have a soft temper. You don’t have a parent to help you look after you. You may not know how to file a complaint when the slaves bully you... Originally, I wanted to wait for you to get better , I will immediately take care of you, and find you a good son-in-law...Who would have thought that such a change would happen in just a few days!"

"You have always been carefree and loved. When did you need to investigate thoroughly? When have you been wronged and you need to seek justice?!"

Chunjia burst into tears, "I'm sorry for my brother, Minghui!"

Hearing the Son of Heaven's sincere admission of his mistakes in public, Princess Ming Hui did not feel the slightest pleasure or comfort, but felt a deep chill.

Not only her, but even the courtiers around her looked over, no longer favoritism as before, with hesitation and hesitation.

Chunjia's words were nice, and he kept saying that he didn't take good care of his step-sister, I'm sorry for this, I'm sorry for that... But the meaning behind the words is that first, he knows the three eldest princesses very well, and only before taking office, he has time to talk to them. Only when the three step-sisters get along can they understand how busy he is after taking office. Everyone can see that it is understandable that he doesn't have time to spend time with his sisters. And it's normal that he doesn't know what changes happened to the younger sisters during this period;

Second, the Princess Minghui he knew had no straight temper and a soft temper. She didn't have the concubine Ji Sheng or he looked at it by himself, she wouldn't even file a complaint, and she might even be bullied by the servants who served her. So, how could such an eldest princess find out the truth about her lying on the couch for a long time after the concubine Ji Sheng who had been protecting her all the time went away, and also found out the truth about the concubine Xian who is famous for being shrewd and powerful? ?

Is it Minghui who has been pretending and even deceived the emperor and others; or is it not Minghui's handwriting at all?

Just now Yun Fenghuang also raised doubts in the same way, but she is only a concubine after all, and her weight is not comparable to that of the eldest princess, so the courtiers ignored it, and still supported the eldest princess emotionally.

But now euphemistically pointing out that it is the emperor, this...

Between the virtuous concubine and the eldest princess, the courtiers can talk about feelings instead of reason.

But between the emperor and the eldest princess, the courtiers couldn't do anything like this.

The Ji family's grave is still dry, isn't it?

When the officials were hesitating, Yun Fenghuang suddenly turned his head, his eyes passed over the important officials such as Yi Guogong Ouyang Yanran, and finally fell on a middle-aged man wearing loose official clothes, and said lightly: "Uncle, The niece and daughter are ashamed, they have never been filial to their uncles and aunts, but they have caused their uncles and aunts to worry about it many times, so please don't forget Zhaoqing when you have the audacity to entrust your uncle to take care of the eldest prince in the future."

...Wait, you should be talking to Yi Guogong? What are you doing looking at me?

Gu Jiashu, who was watched by her, was baffled and still confused, so he heard Yun Fenghuang speed up his speech, and said in one breath, "Uncle is loyal to the emperor, and I am deeply in love with the emperor. How dare you call your majesty and the eldest princess?" Hesitating for mere concubine status?!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed to the side of the guarding soldier, pulled out the saber from his waist, and moved it across his neck!

"My lord, forgive me!" The soldier was startled, and snatched it back... This is the imperial guard, carefully selected from the imperial army, with excellent looks and martial arts. Of course, his skills are not like Yun Fenghuang's. It is comparable to the delicate women who have experienced a few hands.

She was almost helpless when the opponent took back the saber, and wanted to snatch it again, but the soldier had put the saber back into its sheath, firmly pressed the hilt of the saber, and knelt down in front of her, "Please forgive me, ma'am!"

"Please calm down!" This change made the emperor and his subjects look over, the regent's eyes flickered, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard an old but steady voice not far away, "The truth of the matter is not yet clear, why is this so embarrassing? Don't be impatient, wait for the truth to come out!"

This person who spoke to comfort Yun Fenghuang surprised everyone, including Yun Fenghuang.

Because it is Ouyang Yanran.

Although Chunjia was the one who recovered with all his strength, he was also notoriously loyal to Xiaozong.

As the patriarch of the Ouyang family, he was forced to be relegated for many years, caused the family to decline, and even after Xiaozong left, he still looked coldly at the olive branch extended by the Ji family... Who can deny his loyalty to Xiaozong?

He was among those who acquiesced and even secretly urged everyone to favor Princess Minghui before.

At this moment, he seemed to have the intention of supporting Concubine Xian, and everyone was a little bit surprised for a while.

"Your Majesty." Ouyang Yanran ignored all kinds of gazes looking around, just cupped her hands at Dan Chi, and said in a loud voice, "The change of today's incident is really unexpected. Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is the flesh and blood of the first emperor. The virtuous concubine raised her at her knees. The two emperor's heirs are even high-ranking in the court. It is not a good thing to wrong anyone. Therefore, I think that instead of arguing endlessly here, it is better to ask His Royal Highness the eldest princess and the concubine to calm down. Discuss right and wrong."

Since his recovery, he has been regarded as the emperor's right-hand man. Having said that, although the royalists still hesitated, they subconsciously came out to support him.

The neutral party chose not to say anything after a brief hesitation. In fact, they still wanted to favor the eldest princess in their hearts. They just wondered why Ouyang Yanran had no reason to side with the concubine Xian. Maybe there was a reason for doing so? Even if Ouyang Yanran suddenly turned to support Concubine Xian, then their opposition might have no effect, but why bother to cause trouble... After such a hesitation, she didn't move.

The regent's side immediately became vigilant, and exchanged glances to object.

But before she came out to speak, Ouyang Yanran glanced at the regent, and said in a neither high nor low voice: "After all, the concubine Xian has already made a move to ask for death, so we can't ask His Royal Highness the eldest princess to force the eldest prince and the eldest prince to death in public." The suspicion of Princess Zhaoqing's mother and concubine. The first emperor's flesh and blood were wronged, and it is only natural to seek justice. Why should he be so slandered? Moreover, the eldest prince, Princess Zhaoqing and His Royal Highness the eldest princess are aunts and nephews. This matter is not fully explained. Let the culprit have no room to justify, and just ended it in such a muddle-headed way. In the future, when the two heirs grow up, who can guarantee that there will be no future troubles? Or are you all knowingly committing crimes, deliberately wanting to see the blood of the royal family grow bad?!"

These words seem to be for the sake of the eldest princess, worried that the eldest princess will get a bad reputation because of her revenge, and she will be resented by her nephew and niece in the future... But the regent always thinks that the old man's words are nice, and he may not think so in his heart .

So he asked coldly: "The concubine Xian's words are unfounded, but the eldest princess has reason and evidence. This is not called making it clear. What is it called being clear? The concubine Xian just wanted to die, but she committed suicide in fear of crime, but what did the eldest princess do?" ?!"

"His Royal Highness, may I ask if you think it's only natural for a virtuous concubine to kill herself in public?" Ouyang Yanran hadn't answered yet, and Chen Jian, who had just stood up to defend Yun Fenghuang, came out again, but he did it according to the gourd painting. Like Princess Minghui asking Chunjia in public, she asked her back, "If that's the case, why should the soldiers stop the concubine Xian? In the future, the whole story will be announced to the world, and the two heirs of the concubine Xian will grow up in the future. There is something to say!"

Princess Minghui opened her mouth: "This Palace...I..."

Guilt was only a moment, and the changes of these days appeared in front of her eyes, and her eyes under the veil gradually turned fierce. After a short pause, she said coldly: "Yes, of course I think that Concubine Xian should be like this!"

Doing so would bring a lot of trouble, and it might not even be a good thing for her.

She knows it all.

However, whether it is Chunjia or Concubine Xian, they are too difficult to deal with.

Can kill one is one.

In this way, even if things fail, she is not going to meet the queen empty-handed, is she?
