Chapter 91: Unspoken
"Even if Sui'an can't give birth, can I still let the son-in-law die?" Chunjia shook his head and said, "Whether it's adoption or concubine, I'll be honest, Sui'an will be the saddest. As for Ah Huang No matter how angry you are, it will be fine after a while. Why bother with Ji's aunt and nephew? Maybe it will hinder Ji's honor."
After all, the common man Ji Sheng might still have a slightly contemptuous view of Yun Fenghuang, but the former empress Ji Lingzi knew very well what this beloved concubine was like.
If they really wanted to put Yun Fenghuang together before they died, Yun Fenghuang would not be helpless just because they were gone, the greatest possibility would be to do something about Ji's posthumous name and even the mausoleum...
This kind of thing is definitely possible for Yun Fenghuang to do.
If it was the kind of revenge that could deal a fatal blow to Yun Fenghuang, or a lifelong regret, the uncle and nephew would do it.
But it's just that the cousin sister-in-law can't have a baby, and it's not that the cousin can't have a baby. As Chunjia said, at worst, he can adopt an heir from the Xie family to raise him. What else can Yun Fenghuang be angry about?
Ji Lingzi would not do such an uneconomical thing.
"But if it wasn't for the actions of Ji's aunt and nephew, could there really be someone else who could use the three corpses to murder Liugong in the palace?" Yun Fenghuang frowned, "But who is this person? And why did he target him?" Suian?"
Chunjia's face was complicated for a moment, and she said slowly: "Do you think... Minghui would do such a thing?"
"His Royal Highness Princess Minghui?" Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned and hesitantly said, "It's very possible that your Highness has a deep grudge against this concubine! It's just that... Sui'an and her are the same father Sister, you have grown up together since you were young, why did she make such a murderous move?"
Chunjia was also uncertain, hesitated for a moment, and pondered: "I also feel that although she has a deep prejudice against both of us, judging from her actions against Xiao Han, she is still a child full of resentment. Even if she angers Yunan Suian, will you always miss some old friendships? Didn't she give a big gift to congratulate Yun'an when she gave birth to a daughter?"
The emperor would not be surprised if Ming Hui directly opened the doors of the two eldest princesses and set rules for the two younger sisters.
But privately using the three corpses to kill Sui'an's desire to give birth, such a sinister method is not something that Minghui can use.
After all, this golden branch and jade leaf has really lived a carefree life for more than ten years. Even though he has been hit frequently in the past two years, he has always been well-clothed and has never really suffered.
Even if his temperament changed drastically, it wouldn't mean that the six relatives who were naive and ignorant from the beginning didn't recognize him so quickly and were cruel and merciless?
"His Royal Highness the Great Princess may not have the heart to do this and would never have thought of doing this." Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes and said, "But what about the people around the Great Princess? Please think about it, Your Majesty. The eldest princess loves her very much, so she has raised her innocent temperament. From this point of view, the concubine thinks that the common man Ji Sheng will never tell His Highness the eldest princess about the three corpses! Not to mention using this method to harm others! After all, ordinary parents, no matter how cruel they are, they want their children to walk on the right path, and they are magnanimous."
"But Her Royal Highness Princess, especially those who have served the common man Ji Sheng before, are not necessarily."
"They have served the common man Ji Sheng for many years, and the Ji family has been in power for many years before. Even if the dynasty falls, the people below will always be a little stubborn and don't know how to flatter them!"
"Using the wings of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, murdering the Eldest Princess to vent her personal anger, and at the same time intending to provoke a strife in the palace, so that the sisters of the Tian family turned against each other... Is it possible to think that the Ji family is venting their anger?"
"..." Chunjia frowned slightly upon hearing this, and remained silent for a while.
This speculation seems reasonable, but it is groundless. Rather than saying it is Yun Fenghuang's whim, it is better to say that he is temporarily finding a scapegoat as an explanation.
This is not only to give Sui'an an explanation, but also because of the continuous turmoil in the palace before, the incident of the three corpses spread to the upper and lower dynasties, and it was finally suppressed with Ji's daughter's withdrawal from the harem. Thinking about it, even the blood of the first emperor was not immune to the disaster, and now the imperial concubine has no clue, so... it is hard not to doubt the ability of the current emperor and empress.
Especially Chunjia, who did not take good care of the younger sister left behind by the late emperor was already dereliction of duty. If the real culprit could not be found as soon as possible, then needless to say, he was either stupid or bad.
The emperor didn't want to occupy any of them, so it had to be resolved before the matter spread.
And in order to get rid of the suspicion that he didn't know the person as much as possible, the culprit really couldn't be better than Yun Fenghuang's proposal.
After all, as the Son of Heaven, he was already in charge, and he was in the harem. No matter what went wrong and caused Princess Sui'an to suffer such a big loss, he couldn't get away from it. The Empress Dowager and Princess Minghui, Due to the extremely close relationship with the first emperor, the emperor always treated them with special courtesy and never interfered with their attendants and palace arrangements.
If there is any problem, everyone should feel that the emperor cannot be blamed.
But directly pointing at the words of the Empress Dowager and Princess Minghui, not to mention that these two archways still need to be kept, it is also suspected that Ji's family will be exterminated with hatred in return for virtue.
So these two can't move, so the next best thing is to pull out the valet to top the cylinder.
In this way, the righteous lord can be deterred to a certain extent, and at the same time, it also leaves a certain room for imagination for the people of the world to speculate that the emperor's men are merciful and give up the car to protect the handsome.
The side suppressed the reputation of the grandparents of the Tian family, and prepared for Chunjia to manipulate them in the future.
"Sui'an is really innocent and docile, I'm afraid he will really believe it." The emperor thought for a long time, and said slowly, "When the time comes, their sisters will turn against each other, and under the nine springs of Emperor Xiaozong, how can they not vent their anger on me?"
Yun Fenghuang walked over and put his arms around his neck, put his chin on his shoulder, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it is said that when Emperor Xiaozong passed away, what he wanted to do the most was to set up the emperor's younger brother. How could this be that Xiaozong was optimistic about the prince? Is it because of the entrustment of the Xiang family's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to the regent? Is it because Xiaozong himself has no children, and seeing that the Ji family is powerful, he is worried that in another day, he will lose the country that His Majesty Taizu worked so hard to build? It can be seen that the first emperor Xiaozong During his lifetime, what he cared most about was the inheritance of the Gongxiang clan! In comparison, what are the three daughters? If Emperor Xiaozong had a spirit under the nine springs, seeing that the throne was passed on to a wise king like His Majesty, he would surely also With a smile on your face, how could you complain about His Majesty for some trivial matter?"
"It's as if you know Emperor Xiaozong better." Chunjia was amused by her, reached out and pinched her cheek, and said, "Even I have never met Emperor Xiaozong, let alone you? How do you know that he must be Think so?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "It's only been ten years since the death of the late emperor, and the old people in the palace are still there. Just listening to the patchwork of words, one knows that the late emperor didn't think about the harem at all, and he didn't even pay much attention to the government. , it was focused on targeting the Ji family, and wanted to suppress and weaken it. The three emperors and daughters were also conferred by the late emperor when the common man Ji Sheng took them to the imperial court to cry when the first emperor was about to fail. , but I have never heard how the late emperor cared and loved them. It can be seen that what the late emperor really cared about was the Gongxiang clan!"
Chunjia said: "Even so, after all, they are the late emperor's own flesh and blood, and the late emperor himself can ignore them for the sake of the royal family. If I do this, how can I feel at ease?"
Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that what you said sounds good, if these three golden branches and jade leaves are against you in a clear-cut manner, I will see if you will continue to feel at ease?
"Actually, His Majesty's actions are for the benefit of the three Highnesses in the final analysis!" So she persuaded Chunjia from a different angle, saying that we did this to calm people's hearts, so that the real culprit behind the scenes would jump over the wall and do more harm. people.
After all, the offspring caused by the three corpses are difficult, and there is no cure!
Even Princess Yun'an may not be safe at that time, although she has a daughter now, but at this time, no child means no heir!
Yun An also has no serious heirs!
So it's better to find the two murderers to come out and settle the matter on the scene, so as to paralyze the real murderer, and then slowly and thoroughly investigate the matter later, isn't it?
Furthermore, this move is conducive to the stability of Chunjia's throne, and Chunjia's throne is stable, and the power will be in hand earlier, so how do you want to take care of the three emperors?
"You make it sound like if I don't do this, I'm sorry for the late emperor." Chunjia listened, and sighed with a smile, "That's all, let's do it like this."
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the suggestion made by the noble concubine was not only to help him share his worries, but also mainly aimed at Minghui.
Because once Minghui's left and right were identified as the real culprits who murdered Sui'an, even if the royal family did not deliberately publicize the matter, there would definitely be a crack in the relationship between the first emperor's daughter and the concubine's daughter.
Even Yun'an couldn't stay out of the matter, he had to make a choice, should he support Sui'an or Minghui?
The relationship between the three sisters is bound to fall into many estrangements.
Looking at Minghui's growth, for her, the closest person is none other than the commoner Ji Sheng, who set himself on fire and died; her cousin Ji Minggan, whom she loved, was destroyed along with the Ji family; The younger sister's murderer; the younger sisters who grew up with her also had a grudge against her... If Ming Hui was weaker after such repeated blows, he might not be able to think about it until Yun Fenghuang took revenge.
But Chunjia pondered for a while, and still pretended to be confused.
The imperial concubine looked at each other and smiled, tacit understanding.
... With the idea set, the emperor summoned Sun Yu to do it.
But when the palace gave an explanation in full swing, Princess Anchang went back to the mansion and cried again. At this time, Xie Wuzheng was in the yamen. Wu Zheng came back, but Sui'an didn't want to disturb the son-in-law's business, so in desperation, he asked Jiang for help: "Madam Jiang, please go and see my highness, the servants are incompetent, no matter what you say, you can't persuade them. His Highness has been crying for a long time in the palace, and he has been crying non-stop since he came back. How can this continue?"
Jiang Shi was very surprised, when he asked about the situation, his expression changed, and he hurriedly got on the sedan chair and went to the Princess Chang's mansion without thinking about changing his clothes.
"Your Highness, are you sure about this?" When he arrived in front of Sui'an, seeing her crying to death, Jiang sighed inwardly, and asked with the last hope, "Is there anyone who is not a sage? It is not the time when the imperial physician did not misdiagnose."
"His Royal Highness Princess Yun'an has several imperial physicians, all of whom took the pulse of my Royal Highness." The attendant said with a wry smile, "Two of them were diagnosed by Liu Gong at the beginning...it must not be wrong. And my family His Highness has been in and out with the son-in-law since his descent, and there has been no news for many years, this..."
There's basically nothing wrong with that.
Jiang's heart was in a mess, secretly thinking that Xie's fortune is not enough?
So even if he is lucky enough to be the Lord, he is doomed to have so many twists and turns?
In this way, it seems that it is a good thing for her daughter to be forcibly adopted by Yi Guogong. With the name of Yun's daughter, she can get some blessings from Yun's family, otherwise, I am afraid that she may not be able to have today.
She suppressed her distracting thoughts and stepped forward to persuade Suian: "Your Highness, why is this so? Although the imperial physicians said that there is no cure for the three corpse insects, but you think, many diseases in ancient times were helpless, and there were no prescriptions later? Your Highness You are still young now, and the future will be long!"
Sui'an just sobbed and didn't listen at all.
"Take a step back, even if your highness can't give birth, you can still have a step-son in the future. With the status of your highness, are you afraid that your heir will not be filial to you?" When Jiang Shi said this, he observed Sui'an, and saw her crying even more sadly. I thought to myself that if this matter needs to be resolved, I am afraid that the key lies in Xie Wuzheng.
He gave Jiang Ai who was following him a wink, and Jiang Ai walked out knowingly and quietly.
Afterwards, Jiang and Sui'an chattered, Sui'an finally got tired of crying, and finally stopped crying, but he didn't even have the mood to perfuse her.
After finally getting to Sanya, Xie Wuzheng came back and hurried to the back hall, before anyone came in, he asked first: "Who made Zao'er unhappy and cried for so long?!"
The boudoir name of Princess Sui'an is Gongxiangzao.
"My son-in-law..." Before the dowry maid who had followed all the way from the Chuihua Gate finished speaking, Suian had already got up, without even bothering to put on his shoes, and ran out quickly, threw himself into his arms, and burst into tears!
Seeing this situation, Jiang quickly avoided going out.
Jiang Ai has been staying in the flower hall for a long time, seeing the master get away, hurriedly came up to greet him and whispered: "The servant just brought the words to the son-in-law, and the son-in-law said he would understand, so we don't have to worry."
"It's good that he knows the seriousness." Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Anyway, he is still young, and heirs are not in such a hurry. Even if he pretends, when his position is not yet stable, he has to pretend to be completely devoted to His Highness. Otherwise, Why does His Majesty praise him? When our Xie family has a solid foundation in the future, it doesn't matter if he wants to take a concubine or raise an illegitimate child... As long as you don't embarrass Your Highness too much, we are all his direct relatives and elders. Can't he make it through?"
She was thinking about Princess Sui'an's grief just now, besides the regret and resentment she couldn't have, she was probably also worried that the son-in-law, who has always been in a good relationship, would take a concubine or have an affair because of this.
After all, even if it is the eldest princess, a girl in her teens, she has been loving and harmonious with her husband for many years. Her husband's cleanliness is enviable. If there are a few more children, she will be a truly enviable fairy couple.
As a result, she couldn't give birth, and at this time, she was so unfilial that she had no offspring. Even if there were golden branches and jade leaves, she would still be upset, wouldn't she?
"That's what the servant girl said. The son-in-law is very sensible, so he listened to it and said that these are all what should be done. Besides, he likes His Highness very much." Jiang Ai said, hesitant to speak.
Jiang noticed it and sighed: "Da Fang gave birth to a good son. This is really a feng shui turn. Usually, I always think that even if the eldest daughter-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law, she has many children, so what? I'm up for the competition? Even for the sake of children, Feng Huang alone, my sister-in-law's prostitutes and concubines can't compare! Who knows that when the time comes, I will lose in terms of sons. Thirteen and ten Eighth, when it comes to age, who is not older than twenty-one? When it comes to teaching, I think I can only be better than my sister-in-law. If so, thirteen and eighteen are still confused, but twenty-one is very clear."
"Weird way back then, Fenghuang wanted to recommend Eleven, but Twenty-one stood out with his own ability."
"Look, this truly talented person cannot be stopped."
"It's a pity why our fourth room doesn't have this?"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Ai also felt that Xie Wuzheng was much better than Xie Xiliu and Xie Xiyu just now, and was worried that the big house would suppress the fourth house in the future, but seeing Jiang's frustration, she turned to persuade him Said, "Without the empress in the palace, how can the royal family know about Xie's family? Let alone the emperor and the princess! In the final analysis, no matter how much the family achieves, it all depends on the empress! Without the empress, it is nothing! "
Jiang said: "That's the truth, but you also understand that people's hearts are changeable. Now the family needs to rely heavily on Fenghuang, and those few unsatisfactory things still have a lot of resentment towards her. Once Mrs. Xie gets up in the future, Who knows what kind of face it is? I am only such a direct daughter, how can I let her be the master of the family after she has paid so much for the family? Therefore, even if the Xie family wants to prosper, it should be our fourth family who is in charge of the family. Yes. Otherwise, wouldn’t Feng Huang be too wronged?”
They discussed in a low voice and went back out of the Princess's mansion, and they didn't say goodbye to Xie Wuzheng and the two, after all, those two knew now that they definitely had no time to say hello.
But after noon the next day, Xie Wuzheng went to Xie Xiliu's house alone to meet Jiang, saying that he came to confess to his elders for yesterday's negligence.
"It's all from my own family, why is this?" Jiang asked indifferently, "How is Your Highness doing now?"
"The coaxing lasted until midnight yesterday, and it finally stopped temporarily." Xie Wuzheng sighed, "I don't know who did it. How can I do anything to an innocent woman like His Highness? The key is that His Highness The palace has never contended with the world!"
Jiang said: "Your Majesty will definitely not be vague about this matter. Don't worry, the palace will definitely give an explanation in two days."
"Even so, it will be very difficult for Your Highness to give birth." Xie Wuzheng hesitated for a while, and said solemnly, "The reason why my nephew came to see my aunt is because of an unkind request!"
