Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 220 Mother and Son

Hearing Yun Fenghuang's shout and question, the knock on the door stopped first, and then a slightly familiar voice came, saying cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

This is Mrs. Zhao.

Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, this Zhao family came under her control through twists and turns, she didn't know what kind of temperament she used to be, but after coming to Xuanqing Palace, she was honest and obedient, not the kind of disrespectful... She pondered After sitting down, he got up and went to sit on the soft couch, and quickly tidied up his appearance before commanding in a cold voice: "Come in!"

After a while, Mrs. Zhao pushed the door open and entered, knelt down on the ground when she entered the threshold, and kowtowed not far from her, Fang dared to straighten up a little, and said in a soft voice: "Just now a little palace maid went to I went to the concubine, saying that I was ordered by the Queen Mother of Jiashan Palace, and I invite you to go to Jiashan Palace to help the Queen Mother... I have never been qualified to visit the Queen Mother alone before, and I have never seen her before. That little palace lady didn't dare to hide it, so she came here to report."

"Isn't that little maid from our palace?" Yun Fenghuang asked after thinking about it.

Mrs. Zhao hesitated and said: "The concubine rarely goes out, and stays in her own room, or goes to Sister Yi's place to sit, so the servants in other places are not very clear about the concubine's identity... I don't know if it is from our palace. of."

Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, and said: "I know, you can go down."

"Yes." Mrs. Zhao kowtowed respectfully again, then turned and left, but when she reached the door, she hesitated for a while, but she mustered up her courage, supported the door frame, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the concubine was only accepted at the beginning. When entering Luqin Terrace, because the common man Zheng had just lost a male fetus, he had no intention of arranging a concubine himself. In order to prevent her from getting hurt, his attendant sent the concubine far away, and he was not allowed to move around at will, so as not to be caught The commoner Zheng was sad to see it. At that time, many people said that no matter whether a concubine gave birth to a prince or a princess, she would inevitably be deprived of her mother and keep her son. Moreover, even if the commoner Zheng did this, from the empress dowager to the The three empress dowagers acquiesced to the empress."

"At that time, the concubine was thinking about everything... Anyway, I can't survive, so why do I want to make the child in my womb cheaper for others?"

"But the concubine survived in the end."

"Concubine, such a lowly person, has a bright future, not to mention the rich blessings of the empress?"

When she said these words, Yun Fenghuang turned her head and looked at her expressionlessly, so that Mrs. Zhao became more and more timid as she spoke, and her voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, the hand holding the door frame trembled a little, timidly. Said, "...Your Majesty went to the previous court today, she must have been wronged, but I believe that this is all temporary..."

Yun Fenghuang sneered.

Mrs. Zhao opened her mouth, cold sweat rolled down her forehead, and she didn't dare to speak at all.

"What do you know?" Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes, opened them, and said disdainfully, "You have survived until now, not because you survived by yourself, but because you were lucky enough to meet Bengong! Otherwise, whether it is In the hands of Mrs. Zheng or the former empress, do you think you will still be alive after the eldest prince falls to the ground?"

And her situation is the same as Zhao Neng?

Such a palace concubine who picked up her life purely by luck, is still under Yun Fenghuang's hand to watch her face live, where does she have the qualifications to sympathize with the majesty? !

Does she deserve it?

Yun Fenghuang was full of hostility in his heart, and he almost blurted out, asking someone to drag Mrs. Zhao down to teach him the rules!

"... I know, I have always been very grateful to my mother." Zhao seemed to have sensed her killing intent, and knelt down with a "plop", prostrated herself on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "If there is no mother, I will No concubine! Concubine is dull and doesn't know anything! Concubine just doesn't want to see empress sad...Concubine..."

"..." Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes, looked at her for a moment, and finally said quietly, "I don't want to hear these words. Get out!"

"yes."

After Mrs. Zhao stepped back, she sat alone on the soft couch for a while, and then went out and called someone to dress herself up: "The chariot is ready, go to Jiashan Palace."

The servants all knew that the master was in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to talk too much, and they all responded with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, and neatly arranged a light and pleasant attire for Yun Fenghuang, which was neither too ostentatious nor too plain, suitable for The visiting kind.

After a long while, the chariot landed at the gate of Jiashan Palace. At this moment, the news of the Empress Dowager's critical illness was almost known to the harem, but the gate of Jiashan Palace was still deserted and deserted. The relationship with Chunjia, even though the Empress Dowager Yuan never mentioned it publicly, the concubines also know that if you don't want to offend the Empress Dowager Yuan, it is best not to get too close to Jiashan Palace.

Even Chunjia, the son of Empress Dowager Qu, didn't want his concubine to get too close to his own mother.

In addition, Empress Dowager Qu has always kept a low profile, and she doesn't have much friendship with the concubines of the sixth palace. This caused everyone to be concerned about the outcome of this matter, but no one dared to come here without the promise of Empress Dowager Yuan's mother and son.

Yun Fenghuang walked in familiarly, and when he arrived at the main hall, he saw Chun Jia was sitting listening to the empress dowager's close maid talking to him with tears, the emperor's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and there was a distinct fatigue between the brows .

Seeing her coming, she was not surprised, and nodded slightly to let the grand lady continue.

The maid of honor also saw Yun Fenghuang, she didn't evade, she said with tears, "Your Majesty just agreed to your empress, it's been so many years... so many years... Your majesty never fights or grabs, and she doesn't even dare to come out. It's just such a small wish... the empress may only beg you this time!"

"...Kai Shidu will come over right away. He is the person who has been serving the imperial grandmother. He has excellent medical skills, so he may not be helpless." Chunjia looked tired, but said softly, "Don't say that, aunt, the queen will be fine. of."

The big maid did not dare to say that if Empress Dowager Qu had something to do, she sobbed and said, "I'm afraid the empress doesn't want to hear this now... the servant girl dare not go in and say it."

Chunjia seemed to be very talkative: "Then I will go in and tell the queen mother."

"Your Majesty!" The grand maid wanted to stop him, but Chunjia immediately stood up and went into the inner hall.

Yun Fenghuang watched him enter, and quickly walked a few steps to the side of the grand lady, and asked in a low voice: "What does your empress want?"

"Your Majesty wants to go back to Yeluo and Fuyang County." The maid said suddenly, "But the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, refused. I wanted to ask Your Majesty, but Your Majesty..."

She dared not dare to say unwillingly, "Your Majesty, this is the first time in my life to speak to Your Majesty!"

And this Empress Dowager Qu didn't have the qualifications or the opportunity to raise her child, so she rejected her without much consideration.

Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, the refusal of Empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia was very reasonable, after all, the two empress dowagers today are not the wives and concubines of Emperor Xiaozong. If Empress Dowager Qu went back to Fuyang County, wouldn't the Empress Dowager and the Regent have a reason to drive Empress Dowager Yuan away?

Now Chunjia may not need Queen Mother Yuan so much in the harem, but he doesn't need it in terms of interests, and he definitely hopes to keep Queen Mother Yuan in the palace to take care of him personally, instead of sending it to someone who has never seen her twice. The public assists you if you are filial.

Even if Gongxiang Ruoheng could not have treated the people who raised Chunjia badly.

The Empress Dowager may not be ignorant of this truth... Then why did she bring it up?

It's never going to be sick and confused.

"Concubine Xian, can you help the Empress Dowager to persuade Your Majesty?" Seeing that Yun Fenghuang didn't speak, the eldest palace maid asked in a tearful voice, "The empress is like that now...I'm afraid I don't have any other thoughts in the future."

"The empress dowager heard that it was still possible a few days ago, why did she suddenly?" Yun Fenghuang asked with a sigh.

The palace lady cried out when she heard the words: "Who knows? After serving you like this all the time, the Queen Mother is indeed getting better these days. Just a few days ago, she told us some allusions about when she was in Fuyang Prince's Mansion... Then It’s not good to say it’s bad. If it’s not really dangerous, how would the maidservants dare to disturb the court meeting?”

Yun Fenghuang said: "But I don't know what allusions the Empress Dowager said?"

"...It's about the Empress Dowager being in the palace at that time." The palace maid pursed her lips, not willing to say much, after all, Empress Dowager Qu is now a queen dowager, and her experience as a concubine is the same as the one who served her all the way here It's fine for people to talk about it, but it's not suitable to tell outsiders, especially her own son's concubine Ji.

But even if you don't listen to the details, since the Fuyang Palace is mentioned, it probably has something to do with Queen Mother Yuan. This is implying that it was Queen Mother Yuan who caused Queen Mother Qu to become seriously ill again this time?

Before, after returning from the summer vacation, Yun Fenghuang came to see Queen Mother Qu, and Queen Mother Qu also said that it was Queen Mother Yuan who almost killed her during the summer vacation.

If so, Empress Dowager Yuan has poisoned Empress Dowager Qu twice...

But why?

Not to mention that Chunjia's treatment of Empress Dowager Qu is not as good as that of Empress Dowager Yuan. Empress Dowager Yuan has no need to be jealous of Empress Dowager Qu, Chunjia's mother-in-law, but once Empress Dowager Qu dies, the current Prince of Fuyang, Xiang Ruoheng, will definitely come to the Imperial Capital , Fu Ling went back and was buried in the mausoleum of Fuyang King's lineage.

When the time comes, will Empress Dowager Yuan follow or not?

If she followed along, it was very easy for her to cultivate Chunjia, and it was also very easy for Chunjia to grow out of it. How could she be willing to part with her?

If you don't follow along...how did you say it on the scene? Is it possible to continue to use the reason of being sick?

This kind of thing happens again and again, I'm afraid Chunjia can bear it, and it will be annoying to go to the harem.

Especially now that the Prince Regent and the Empress Dowager are joining forces, can the Empress Dowager Yuan stay in the palace if they get the chance?

So in this point of view, no matter how much Empress Dowager Yuan dislikes Empress Dowager Qu, she should calm things down.

... Yun Fenghuang withdrew his scattered thoughts and said: "Didn't His Majesty just say that Kai Shidu would come soon? This man has met this man before, and he is indeed capable. Maybe the Empress Dowager is also surprised this time. How about safe?"

The maid of honor had a look of resentment on her face, and said with a wry smile: "Things that are not dangerous have happened a few months ago, so who can bear it again and again? The empress dowager is also a little old, and she just wants to keep her own place. It's a pity to live..."

She shook her head and sighed, "Forget it, Your Majesty has made up his mind, and it's not okay to come to Concubine Xian to persuade her. It's the servant girl who is impatient and embarrassing the empress."

Said that Chaoyun Fenghuang was blessed, as an apology.

This maid seems to be unaware of the fact that Empress Dowager Qu sent someone to Xuanqing Palace, Yun Fenghuang was thoughtful, and she came here in a hurry, it is hard to say whether the little maid was sent by Empress Dowager Qu... After pondering for a while , she also walked towards the inner hall.

Since the two empress dowagers have been claiming to be "sick" to the outside world these days, the two palaces are often scented with medicine for the sake of realism.

The smell of medicine in this inner hall is even stronger, and it makes people frown uncontrollably.

Chunjia was sitting on the embroidered stool beside the sickbed, holding one of Empress Dowager Qu's hand, lowering his head, talking softly, his voice was so low that he couldn't hear clearly even standing at the entrance of the hall, he noticed that The door opened, but did not move, and continued to speak a few more words, Empress Dowager Qu seemed to be comforted, she sighed leisurely, retracted her hands into the quilt, and said weakly: "...the Ai family will just listen to your majesty." .”

After a pause, she looked towards the door, "Who is here?"

Chun Jia raised the half-drawn curtain for her, and said softly: "It's Concubine Xian who came to see you."

"Concubine Xian should not come." Empress Dowager Qu said lightly, "The fate of the Ai family is bitter, and the concubine Xian is young, don't get bad luck with the Ai family. From now on, she will suffer just like the Ai family."

Chunjia's face became a little embarrassed, and said, "It's because I'm not filial."

Empress Dowager Qu didn't answer, it was tacit consent, Empress Dowager just said: "Concubine Xian, let's go. You have sons and daughters to take care of you, and you have the emperor's favor, so you can ask the Ai family to harm you for a moment of soft-heartedness. "

"The empress dowager was just joking. You are the majestic empress dowager, and you are the one who gave birth to your majesty. It's a hard life. If I can't give birth to a concubine like this, what is it?" Yun Fenghuang walked in to salute, and said softly, "I was afraid that you would dislike my concubine and disturb your purity, so I didn't want to come here with my concubine."

Empress Dowager Qu snorted and said, "Clean? I'm afraid only the former king's place is clean... The Ai family would like to go there sooner, but unfortunately, the Ai family is not so lucky!"

"The queen mother will be fine." Chunjia persuaded, "Kai Shidu..."

Before he could finish speaking, Empress Dowager Qu turned to Yun Fenghuang and said, "Don't you really think it's bad luck to mourn the family?"

Yun Fenghuang hadn't answered yet, she sighed slightly, and then said to the emperor, "In the future, if His Majesty despises the concubine Xian, the Ai family will no longer be in this palace. Let's go, okay?"

"Mother's mother!" Chunjia's face darkened, and she became a little impatient, suppressing her anger, and said slowly, "Mother's mother is really tired, how can you say such a thing?"

Empress Dowager Qu ignored him, and turned over with some difficulty, facing inside: "Well, the mourning family is exhausted, Your Majesty, let's go."

Chunjia's expression was ugly, she stared at her back and was silent for a moment, then got up and ordered the big palace lady who came in after Yunfenghuang: "It's good to serve the queen mother."

As he said that, he walked out, but after walking two steps, seeing that Yun Fenghuang didn't follow, he frowned, turned back, stretched out his hand to grab her arm, and forcibly pulled her out.

When he reached the outside room, he lowered his voice a little angrily and asked, "The queen mother is sick and confused, and you are also confused? What? Really want to follow the queen mother to Fuyang County?"

Yun Fenghuang burst into tears, threw his hand away, and said with a sneer, "If the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager really didn't get through this test, what's wrong with this concubine going to Fuyang County to guard the mausoleum of her old man? At least I can live the rest of my life cleanly! It’s better than surviving a near-death and then a near-death and surviving one after another. It will end well!!!”
