Chapter 90: The Secret of the Former Empress

After Concubine An committed suicide again and was rescued, she did not receive Chunjia's special mercy after all. She still had to go to Chongchang Hall to pay her respects every day like other concubines.

From this, everyone in the harem knew that the emperor's green plum had completely fallen out of favor.

Not even the last bit of decency could be kept.

While sighing, I can't help feeling that the imperial concubine's favor has indeed surpassed the time when Concubine An was so favored.

"If that's the case, when do you think the noble concubine stopped supporting her family?" The newly promoted nobleman Gu Su has a special understanding of this, "It can be seen that the long-term desire of His Majesty is to be able to share His Majesty's worries in the previous court." yes."

When Gu Su was at home, she was naive and reckless, and the Gu family did not expect her to achieve anything after entering the palace, not to cause big troubles, and to help the queen have children, that's all.

Therefore, her dowry was not carefully selected, and she was still a maid who served her as a child. Naturally, she was devoted to her master. It's nothing to get close to Mr. Si. At that time, the lady didn't enter the palace, so it's fine. Now that I have to worry about your majesty, why don't I greet Mr. Si from time to time? After all, this is also for the sake of Mr. Si, and the lady is in the palace. It's also the help of Young Master Si that Li got a face, isn't it?"

That's why the master and servant decided to poach Gu's family and the Northern Army's corner to help Gu Su fight for favor.

Even Gu Su's close servant has an ambition, that is, Gu Zhen is not liked by Chunjia, and he can be named empress only by Gu's family.

And isn't Gu Su the daughter of the Gu family?

... Of course Yun Fenghuang doesn't know about these things, and it doesn't matter if she knows, she is currently having a headache about the fate of Princess Sui'an's heir.

Before, she persuaded the Jiang family to wait a few more days, but who knew that Princess Anchang came to the palace on this day, went to the Qingci Palace first, and came to the Huanhua Palace not long after, before entering the door, she was seen with red eyes, Described as haggard, looking a few years old.

Yun Fenghuang was taken aback, hurriedly asked her to sit down, brought the tea over herself, and asked with concern: "What's the matter, Your Highness? But what did the son-in-law say and did to make you angry? You are a golden branch and a jade leaf, and you are not the same He is of average knowledge, so I will ask someone to tell his aunt that he is good-looking!"

She couldn't stop scolding Xie Wuzheng in her heart, thinking that the Xie family has no bright future. It's only been a few days since they gained power, and they were fighting among themselves and offending the eldest princess. No matter how you look at it, they didn't have the fate to become an important minister of a country!

Or just leave this kind of bastard family alone and let them fend for themselves!

With that kind of kung fu, it's better to get a few more ready-made big clans, and it's not impossible to trust each other under the vertical and horizontal...

The imperial concubine thought one after another, and her complexion became ugly in an instant.

Princess Sui'an held her hand and cried for a while, and then said: "It's none of the son-in-law's business, it's...it's my own problem!"

Yun Fenghuang thought she had really clashed with Xie Wuzheng, so she reprimanded: "What did your Highness say? What is your identity? Xie Wuzheng is able to honor the Lord, it is the blessing of many generations of cultivation! Don't say it." You have always been virtuous, virtuous, gentle and gentle, and if there is a quarrel between you, it must be Xie Wuzheng's fault! Even if you are more pampered, it should be!"

These words are not specifically for Princess Sui'an.

Yun Fenghuang thought so from the bottom of his heart.

What kind of wives are all, then the first thing is to have a right family.

Otherwise, why should we sit on an equal footing?

She herself relied on various means and part of her luck to become a noble concubine, but only she knew how many risks and grievances she had suffered, and how many future troubles she would have left in the future.

If it's Qi Jiulu, among other things, first of all, if Qi Jiulu dares to accept concubines, she will dare to give him countless green hats!

Why can Xie Wuzheng take it easy!

"Your Majesty, don't say that, it really has nothing to do with the son-in-law!" Princess Sui'an choked up, "The son-in-law doesn't know about this right now...it's me, I went to Sister Yun'an to see it yesterday Seeing that Su Bo is cute, she and Subo said a few more words to Sister Yun'an." The daughter of Princess Yun'an and her son-in-law Zheng Fenglin, whose baby name is Subo.

Yun Fenghuang asked softly what did he say?

However, there is already a vague guess in my heart.

Sure enough, Princess Sui'an sobbed and said: "Sister Yun'an said that the son-in-law has been staying with me for many days, but there is no news. A good doctor who is good at maternity and infants took a look. Because my sister was about to give birth, His Majesty specially ordered several imperial doctors to go to Princess Yun'an's mansion to stand by. Now Subo is full moon and has not been called back. Sister Yun'an sent her away. Left and right, I summoned them to take my pulse."

"But what's wrong with Your Highness?" Yun Fenghuang sighed secretly, but his face showed disapproval, "Your Highness is still young, what are you afraid of? The imperial doctors sent by His Majesty to Princess Yun'an are all extremely skilled in medicine. Since Realizing that His Highness is sick, you will be cured sooner or later. Speaking of it, this is also my fault, I just thought that you are still young, and your heirs don’t need to be so eager, so I didn’t expect to order the imperial physician to look at you in advance.”

That's what she said, but in fact she wouldn't do it.

After all, Princess Yun'an and Princess Sui'an have the same father and mother, and they grew up together. They have a deep bond. Yun'an suspected that Sui'an's lack of news after marriage was due to a physical problem, so he called the imperial doctor to show his sister on the spot. It's the sisters who love each other deeply, and they care about Princess Sui'an.

But if Yun Fenghuang did this, even if it was out of concern for the eldest princess Sui'an, it would be regarded as urging the eldest princess to let Xie Wuzheng go.

At that time, Chunjia will talk about her.

Sui'an also understood this truth, and when he heard the words, he smiled bitterly, and said: "If it's just a disease, it's fine... But I, like the former queen and the current queen, were all killed by the three corpse insects. There is no hope for any heirs!"

I couldn't help crying out loud!

"...How could this be so?!" Just now when Sui'an mentioned Yun'an's daughter Zheng Subo, Yun Fenghuang had already guessed that this would be the result, but now hearing her say it herself, she still felt a little unbelievable, "You are the late emperor's love!" Daughter, it’s fine for the Ji family to murder the late emperor and the concubines and concubines, but why did he do this to you?!”

Moreover, "How about Her Royal Highness Princess Yun'an? Has she ever been murdered like this?"

"Sister is fine." Princess Sui'an said in a complicated tone, "We can't figure this out either! Today I sent a message to the palace and went to Qingci Palace to ask the emperor's grandmother..."

"What did the Empress Dowager say?"

"The imperial grandmother was silent for a long time, and then she told me that she didn't know what was going on?" Princess Sui'an said sadly, "Sister Yun'an and I are both the blood of the late emperor. But when she was here, she didn't treat us badly, and we respected her sincerely as a queen mother. I really don't understand why such a thing happened to me?"

She was in a difficult mood, and the last sentence was almost shouted out.

Yun Fenghuang also felt embarrassed when she heard it, patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and sighed: "It's really... I don't even know what to say? When I first entered the palace, among the three of you sisters, only You look the most quiet and well-behaved, even if the common man Ji Cheng is jealous of your mother-in-law, why shouldn't he do this to you? Or is it not the common man Ji Sheng, but someone else did it?"

"But who could it be?" Princess Sui'an couldn't figure it out, "As my mother said, I never like to talk. Although I am not like sister Minghui, the concubines of His Majesty Enze will not offend anyone? After all We usually play in Yaoyu Palace or Mianfu Palace, and we rarely see the concubines face to face."

The most important thing is that she has no conflict of interest with the two generations of concubines.

Who would cause her to be the daughter of the first emperor who did not offend anyone and could not compete with anyone?

"...This is a serious matter. I have to report to Your Majesty, and please give me your order." Such a big matter cannot be hidden from Chunjia, and there is no need to hide it. Yun Fenghuang said a few words of comfort, and asked about the specific situation. He said, "In short, no matter who murdered His Highness, they must pay the price!"

Sui'an also thinks the same way, she grew up so big, although she has not received any special honor and courtesy, she deserves what she deserves, and no one misses her.

It was the first time for her to suffer such a big loss!

Thinking of his young age, newlywed Yan Er married to a man of his own accord, just when everything was not going well, but something went wrong, and it was impossible for him to have his own flesh and blood in this life, Suian felt a burst of pain. A burst of hatred welled up!

The reason why she came to Huanhua Palace after leaving Qingci Palace was to thoroughly investigate and avenge her revenge, so she nodded vigorously at this moment: "So, please trouble your mother!"

The eldest princess wiped her tears and left, Yun Fenghuang's face became gloomy, looked at the time, ordered someone to invite Chunjia over from Taichu Palace, told the story in a few words, before Chunjia could get angry, she took the lead to cover her face with a veil, Crying out: "What is the fate of this concubine? It's fine if I don't have the fate of children, and now Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is suffering like this! Poor Sui'an, how old is he? But he can't bear children by himself in this life." It's gone! You haven't seen what she looks like today, and I'm so sad to see her, I wish I could go together!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chunjia frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said to her, "If you talk about Sui'an, then Sui'an, what are you doing with yourself? Sui'an knows who's behind this, let me tell you, It's just to let the palace help her track down the culprit! What does this have to do with you? Who doesn't know that you tried every means to match Sui'an to Xie Wuzheng, and you are the one who most expects her to be a son-in-law as soon as possible in this world. You will harm her?"

He suspected that the imperial concubine was fishing on purpose, but if he blamed her a few times, he might start a fight again, so he vetoed the relationship between Sui'an Zhongzhao and Yun Fenghuang, and finally asked about the details.

"She herself is also confused and never knows." Yun Fenghuang didn't want to cheat Chunjia this time, but because he was afraid that someone would criticize him like this, so he said it first and asked Chunjia to refute him, so that in the future, if anyone slanders him privately, Chunjia I can also immediately think of framing the boss.

Listening to the emperor's question at this moment, he sniffed and said in a low voice, "Isn't the most terrifying thing about this kind of murder method is concealment? Otherwise, what is the background of the former empress and the current empress? Especially the most astute person in the former empress, how can I do it?" Might be designed to succeed?"

"..." Chunjia frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Perhaps the imperial doctor judged when Suian Yuemo got the trick?"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang shaking his head, he pondered for a while before slowly saying, "Do you have any doubts?"

Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang subconsciously made a list of his current enemies and the people he planned to eradicate...

Gathering her mind, she understood that the emperor's intention was not to allow herself to take the opportunity to eradicate the thorn in her flesh, but to sincerely want to find the person who murdered Sui'an.

"...The concubine feels that no matter how insane the concubine Ji Sheng is, he doesn't seem to treat the eldest princess like this?" She pondered for a while, and said, "And even if she is the concubine's daughter who can't see the late emperor, why is Her Highness the eldest princess Yun'an safe? nothing?"

Speaking of this, she paused, "It's just that the former empress was also killed by the three corpse insects, but it's also puzzling."

"There's nothing that can't be figured out." Unexpectedly, Chunjia said lightly, "Ji Lingzi did it for herself."

Yun Fenghuang: "..."

After she calmed down, she said, "I see."

Seeing that Chunjia didn't seem to care very much, she held back, but she couldn't hold back, "Your Majesty, why did the former empress behave like this?"

Considering the time when the imperial physician was unable to diagnose that the victim was killed by the three corpse insects, she wondered if Ji Lingzi had come up with a trick in order to clear up the crime of murdering the concubine and the emperor's heir?

But I heard Chunjia casually said: "The former empress is the third generation phoenix master of the Ji family. She was cultivated by the central palace since she was a child. How can the Ji family not care about her body? Therefore, after my big marriage, we can't share everything with her. After having intercourse a few times, she has it."

This made Yun Fenghuang very surprised, wasn't it the rumor of the palace ban, the former empress had never been pregnant?

"At that time, the Ji family covered the sky with only one hand. Although I favored Concubine Zhenxi Shu and Concubine An, I didn't dare to distance myself too much from the Central Palace." Chunjia said calmly, "So the number of times I went to Yanfu Palace was not rare. It was Jiang Lan who served me at that time, he was ordered by Empress Yuan to serve the pregnant mother Qu, and he saw the clue."

He didn't say how he was feeling at the time, but it must have been bad.

Because even if Chunjia is already a soft persimmon chosen by the Ji family from thousands of relatives of the Gongxiang family, how can he compare to the little prince with Ji's blood?

If Ji Lingzi's child was still a prince, it's hard to say whether Chunjia would survive to be in charge.

The emperor just said, "I was very nervous at that time, but after a while, Jiang Lan told me in private that the queen seemed to have had a miscarriage. But Mianfu Palace never called the imperial doctor, and the people who served her could not see anything... It was the parents of the former empress who heard that they were quite distraught for a few days."

Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned, and he said: "Your Majesty suspects that the former empress deliberately let herself be infected by the three corpses, causing the emperor's heir to have a miscarriage? Why?"

That's the question, she secretly speculated in her heart...

Sure enough, Chun Jia said: "Maybe she doesn't want her own flesh and blood to become a puppet? Anyway, after that, the Ji family no longer trusts her, which is a good thing for me."

"The former empress..." Yun Fenghuang sighed, and he couldn't tell whether Ji Lingzi's move was because he loved his son too much, or treated his son too cruelly.

I just thought that when I first took refuge in Ji Lingzi, the ex-queen's words revealed the disappointment of not being trusted by her natal family. Guo Xiaozong failed to calculate the Ji family, so he didn't trust the daughter who became the clan wife of the Gongxiang family.

The root cause of the co-authorship is the demise of one of the most orthodox direct heirs.

It's no wonder that the Ji family has a discord with Ji Lingzi.

If Ji Lingzi hadn't done that, if she was still pregnant with a boy, and the eldest son of the first wife landed, with Ji's power at that time, this child must be the undisputed East Palace.

As for the Ji family, who held his grandson as the crown prince, it might not be the turn of Chunjia's uncle and nephew to be ruthless, but Chunjia and the regent have a slight change, and they will plan to change the day and support the young master to ascend the throne!

Rounding things up, the reason why the Ji family fell was because Ji Lingzi was not willing to give birth to that child.

The daughter who was carefully cultivated and sent to the palace personally killed the bargaining chip that the family was most looking forward to. Can the Ji family not doubt this daughter's intentions?

Don't you think Ji Lingzi can't be trusted?

But judging from the results, Ji Lingzi actually has no second thoughts about the family.

Apart from her reluctance to give birth to her own flesh and blood for the use of the family, she doesn't seem to object to the fact that she devoted herself to the family and died.

Yun Fenghuang suppressed his sighs towards the former queen, and said slowly: "Then, the former queen has her considerations, but Sui Anduan can't do that."

She thought for a while, "The Ji family resents the concubine quite a lot, and when Sui'an bestowed the marriage concubine, the concubine Ji Sheng and the former queen were still there. Is it possible that they took revenge on the concubine and therefore angered the eldest princess?"

When Yun Fenghuang said this, he thought quickly in his heart, if this is really the case, how should she get rid of it?

Otherwise, don't look at Sui'an crying to death in front of her just now, he will definitely hate her later.

After all, the common man Ji Sheng and the former empress are gone, so who else can Suian hate if he doesn't hate the imperial concubine?
