Chapter Twelve Yun Fenghuang: Is There Such a Good Thing? ? ?

Yun Fenghuang was quite surprised at this kind of opportunity that came to her door. She judged others by herself. The first thing she thought of was not to take advantage of the opportunity to kill someone with a knife, but... After carefully thinking about whether the king of Chu was dying, Gu Zhen planned to use waste Blame yourself? ? ?

... Well, after she calmed down, she felt that Gu Zhen probably didn't have such a heart.

"Since the Empress has doubts, have you ever told Your Majesty?" Taking a sip of the tea in hand, Yun Fenghuang asked the palace servants sent by Gu Zhen in a slow voice, "Does Your Majesty have no time to worry?"

The palace man gave a bitter smile and said, "Your Majesty ordered the Imperial City Commissioner to conduct a thorough investigation, but..."

She gritted her teeth, "But I also ordered that even if you get clues, don't say anything, you have to report to the Holy Tribunal!"

"So the Empress is worried that His Majesty will protect the real murderer?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "This is a misunderstanding of Your Majesty. First of all, the curse is just a rumor in the palace, and it may not be true. His Majesty's move is also true. I am worried that such rumors are done by someone with a heart, and they are taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble; secondly, His Royal Highness Chu Wang is the only son of his majesty, if he occasionally catches a cold, it’s fine, if he is harmed by others, how can it not cause people’s hearts to fluctuate? Before this palace was also poisoned in the Xuanqing Palace, it narrowly escaped death. In just two short years, both the concubine and the prince have encountered such unexplained poisonous hands, and if the news spread, what face will the Tian family have? "

Without waiting for the palace man to say anything, she waved her hand and said, "Go back, and tell the Empress Dowager what you said, please think twice. Your Majesty is the biological father of His Royal Highness King Chu, so why not let His Highness decide? The Empress If the empress is concerned, she will be in chaos."

"But..." The palace man still wanted to explain, but Qingdu had already stepped forward: "My sister, please."

But after being forced to stuff a basket of pastries, he sent the guests out of Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion.

After she left, Qing Du waited for the servant to sigh and said: "The empress is really confused. How can your majesty not believe such a big matter? She even asked us to come here. If you teach your majesty to know, how can you not believe it?" Not upset?"

The King of Chu was born to Chunjia after all, but not to the Empress. In the eyes of the servants, even if Chunjia was not considered to be fond of the Empress, how could he be indifferent to someone harming his own prince?

Yun Fenghuang said indifferently: "Probably because I am worried that His Majesty will take care of the overall situation."

Her persuasion just now was not really to help Chunjia dispel Gu Zhen's doubts, but to test Gu Zhen's distrust of Chunjia and how much trust he had in her?

If Gu Zhen was just acting impulsively, Yun Fenghuang's words would be like giving the queen a step down, thus avoiding the possibility of her enthusiastically helping out with advice, but Gu Zhen turned around and regretted selling herself to Chunjia.

If Gu Zhen still insists on sending someone to inquire after the court lady goes back to complain, it can be seen that the determination of the Central Palace has been made.

Then, as a noble concubine, it is her job to share her worries and problems for the queen, and she is also very generous, right?

"Empress, you see, the imperial concubine also said the same thing." In the Woxia Tower, Gu Zhen personally wrung a veil for the King of Chu to wipe his face. When he touched his forehead, the heat seemed to subside a little, but it was still slightly hot. , I feel even more sad.

At this time, he noticed that his confidant came in, and whispered to the waiter in the room to keep an eye on the child, then he walked out slowly, walked to a secluded place, and asked the concubine in a deep voice, what did you say?

The confidant described the experience of the maid in detail, and persuaded, "You are really overthinking, let's wait for the news from the Imperial City Secretary."

"The king of Chu is not the heir of the imperial concubine, of course the imperial concubine does not hurt her waist when she is standing and talking!" Gu Zhen shook her head when she heard the words, "If it is the king of Qin who is inexplicably ill at this moment, I don't believe that she can wait quietly Your Majesty will uphold justice for the two of them! Look at me, she said that because she just felt that the matter had nothing to do with her, and she was too lazy to do anything! You go, open the warehouse of this palace, and pick up those bright jewelry materials and send a batch there. As I get older, I don’t need that kind of thing anymore, it’s good to give it to the noble concubine. Tell the noble concubine, if I can help me find the real culprit, I can ask my family to help Mrs. Xie!”

... Yun Fenghuang just tried instinctively, and never thought that there would be such a good thing.

She will definitely not refuse this kind of benefit from her door-to-door, and she just declined a few hypocritical words: "The empress's move is really going to ruin my palace. I am a noble concubine, so it is natural for me to do my best for my empress? How can I accept it?" What about the things? You should take them back later, there is no reason why Zhonggong ordered them to give benefits first."

The palace maid sent by Gu Zhen lowered her eyes and said: "Your Majesty said that these hairpins and rings are not suitable for you to use as your Majesty is getting older. It is most appropriate for the imperial concubine to be in her prime of youth."

After a few polite words, Yun Fenghuang started to throw the pot away again, saying all kinds of high-sounding reasons, saying that he was ignorant and learned, and could only give the empress some details, and he couldn't guarantee whether the result was correct.

The maid had been told before she came, and she agreed to them one by one, expressing that the queen trusts the concubine very much, and it is understandable even if the concubine made a mistake in her guess.

"People in this palace have been in the Taoist temple before, and only after I came back did I know that His Royal Highness Chu was ill." Yun Fenghuang nodded, straightened his face, and asked for details, "But I don't know what happened before and after His Royal Highness fell ill? Up and down Xia Tower, as well as all the people and things that have come into contact with His Highness the King of Chu, have you ever investigated them?"

Listening to the maid's detailed explanation, the imperial concubine looked dignified, and occasionally called a stop, asking for clues... Anyway, she looked very serious and was thinking quickly.

In fact, the imperial concubine is indeed thinking quickly.

Well, she was thinking who would be better to plant this time?

As for the real murderer...

What does the real murderer care about her? It's not her prince!

Most importantly, Yun Fenghuang felt that there might be no real culprit this time.

Because in terms of motives, who would attack the King of Chu in this eye-bone?

The most special and most eye-catching thing about the King of Chu is his status as the only heir, but now the previous court has not proposed to establish a crown prince. He is only the most favorable competitor for the Eastern Palace, and it is not certain that he will be the Eastern Palace.

Moreover, King Chu's status as the son of the eldest son comes from the fact that he is recorded in the name of Empress Gu, not that Empress Gu sits on the phoenix seat with this prince.

So as long as Empress Gu doesn't fall, sooner or later after King Chu dies, other princes will be brought to her and continue to be his sons.

So, is it meaningful to kill the King of Chu?

Absolutely not.

Who would do such a thankless thing?

From Yun Fenghuang's point of view, Yuan Niangniang is most likely to be so stupid.

But Concubine An seemed to have given up on Chunjia in the past two years, and she seemed to be living her own life behind closed doors, especially after having the sixth prince, she never made a fuss anymore, she just dedicated herself to raising children.

...And even if Concubine An could reach out to the King of Chu, she would definitely not be able to do so in a concealed manner.

So the truth should be that King Chu's fate was not good, indeed he had a cold occasionally, and thereafter he had a tendency to get sick all the time.

It's just that Gu Zhen himself suffered from the loss of privacy in the palace, and witnessed the death of countless lives in the palace, and the third prince who was raised with the king of Chu was safe and sound, so he preconceived that someone was tampering.

Yun Fenghuang can understand her mood, after all, Yun Fenghuang himself is an example of being bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years.

But understanding is understanding, there is no such thing as sympathy.

Before the maid finished explaining the details of the Queen's care for the King of Chu in the past few days, Yun Fenghuang had already figured out the whole plan, and showed a tangled look, saying: "It sounds like there is no problem passing by this palace. Your Majesty and the Empress have personally cross-examined them repeatedly. If there are flaws, I believe the Empress will not ignore them. Therefore, in my opinion, it is probably because His Royal Highness King Chu is younger than the third prince, so he cannot withstand the wind and cold. ?”

"Does the imperial concubine think so too?" The palace maid was a little disappointed.

This court lady was able to be entrusted with such an important task, of course she was also one of Gu Zhen's confidantes.

Therefore, influenced by the master to some extent, he also suspected that His Royal Highness King Chu's illness was caused by others, and had great expectations for the noble concubine to find out the real culprit.

At this moment, he said unwillingly, "But although His Royal Highness the King of Chu was born in the same year as the third prince, how could there be such a big gap?"

Yun Fenghuang hesitated to speak, and said: "Maybe the same rice can support all kinds of people? For example, the diet and daily life of a family are the same, but not everyone is healthy and safe, or everyone is sick. Bar?"

"...Does the imperial concubine really not know?" The palace maid noticed her expression, and asked in a low voice, "The empress really has no choice but to send a maid to ask the imperial concubine to help. You know Yes, although His Highness the King of Chu was not born to the empress, she is treated as her own by the empress. If the matter cannot be found out this time, the empress may not be able to get over this hurdle in her life. As long as you can help, the empress promises I won’t spread it to outsiders, and I will miss you all my life!”

Having said this, Yun Fenghuang sighed, and said: "It's not that this palace is deliberately concealing it, but I'm afraid that the empress may not believe it if I tell it, and I suspect that this palace has evil intentions!"

The palace maid hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. If the Empress does not trust you, why send a maid over here? The Empress has always said that although the Empress is a bit impatient, she has no evil intentions. Because of the palace's haste, I did some unavoidable things in order to survive."

The latter sentence was added temporarily by herself, in order to coax Yun Fenghuang to speculate, it is unconscionable.

Yun Fenghuang felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, coughed dryly to cover it up, and said just now: "As far as I can check His Royal Highness Chu's daily necessities, food, housing and transportation before and after his illness, the emperor and empress must have checked it. Since there is no explanation so far, it can be seen that either Everything was accidental, no one did it; or the person who did it had a strong wrist and a special identity!"

The palace maid directly leaned towards the latter possibility: "The maidservant is dull, please be more careful, Madam?"

"No matter how clever the means are, there is always a purpose." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Since we can't find any clues from His Royal Highness Chu, let's first speculate that if something happens to His Royal Highness, who will be wrong?" Will it benefit? Then the possibility that this person is the real murderer is the greatest."

The maid felt that it made sense, so she subconsciously stood upright and listened attentively.

"Let's check the people in the harem one by one first: first of all, it's my palace."

"Of course the imperial concubine is not..." The maid hurriedly said upon hearing the words, but was interrupted by Yun Fenghuang in the middle of the sentence: "This palace is also a concubine, and it is possible to murder His Highness the King of Chu. During those days when the Empress Dowager was sick, the Third Prince and His Highness King Chu entrusted me to take care of them for a few days, so this palace actually has the greatest chance!"

"But I haven't done this before. Why? Today, I don't talk about friendship or friendship, and I can't bear it. I just say the word 'benefit'."

"Although I am raising the King of Qin under my knees, if His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a mishap, the King of Qin will be the most honorable among the princes. It seems that this palace has a good reason, and it is not good for His Highness the King of Chu."

"However, just because His Royal Highness the King of Chu was raised in front of me before, as long as he has something good or bad, I will be the most suspicious!"

"Let's not say that my palace is in the emperor's favor. No matter how much your majesty favors me, why don't you even care about the crime of murdering the emperor's heir? Just say that your majesty is young and strong. Even if you are willing to disregard your own flesh and blood for this palace, but in the future Woolen cloth?"

"The empress said that she is getting older, so why is this not the case in this palace? As the saying goes, there is no one who will be successful for a hundred days, and no one will be happy for a thousand days. Looking at the favorite concubines in history, whoever behaved mischievously in the early years, once the beauty grows old, how many will be able to win? A good end? Even the confidante will end her favor before she gets old!"

"As the empress said, when I entered the palace suddenly, I had no choice but to take a slant for my life and future. Now that I am a noble concubine, why bother to do weird things, which will only increase risks and jokes? "

"The most important thing is that even if His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not good, the King of Qin is only so big. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. If the King of Qin grows up to be unbearable, or if there is also a calamity, wouldn't this palace be in vain? Once evil? From the time I entered the palace to now, I have done many hateful things, but have you ever seen me do something thankless?"

"What the imperial concubine said is that my mother has never doubted the imperial concubine." The palace maid had never doubted her under the influence of Gu Zhen, but now she felt more and more reasonable, and even felt that what she just said was also reasonable: Although the noble concubine is not the kind of gentle and virtuous master, she has really been forced out of the means in the palace these years, and she is still very honest!

Look at how honest and honest her words are!

Unlike other empresses, who said that how could Ben Gong do such a thing?

"Let's talk about Concubine Shu." Yun Fenghuang calmly analyzed Ouyang Fulu, Wei Hengyan, Concubine Xie, Concubine Shao, Concubine Wan, Concubine An and other harem concubines all the way down, not even the newly promoted concubines Jieyu. Let it go, and finally came to a conclusion, "...In my opinion, whether these people are capable of murdering His Highness Chu, let alone, anyway, they can't get any benefit from His illness. How about they agree with Chu?" His Royal Highness has no grievances or enmity, and there is no special benefit, but he has to risk murdering the emperor's heir and implicating the family, who would do such a thing?"

On the one hand, the maid felt that what she said was very correct, on the other hand she was a little confused: "But this...you mean, His Royal Highness King Chu contracted the disease himself?"

Thinking about it wrong again, he reminded, "Where is the concubine Xian? It is Concubine Yuan Xian!"

Yun Fenghuang smiled "hehe" in his heart, and his face became more solemn: "That's why I didn't want to say too much just now, because I was afraid of being misunderstood by the empress. From my point of view... If His Highness the King of Chu was murdered, then , the most suspicious one is Concubine Yuan Xian!"
