Chapter 100 In One Word

Chunjia speculated about the intention of Empress Dowager Yuan, guessing that she was suspicious of Yun Fenghuang, so he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "My child, let the imperial hospital treat the concubine Xian. The concubine Xian is still young and has always been in good health. Something will happen."

Asked about the eighth prince again, "Concubine Xian's condition is getting worse, but I don't know who is taking care of the eighth prince now?"

Seeing that he took the initiative to care about the Eighth Prince, the Empress Dowager Yuan's face softened slightly, and she said calmly: "Concubine Xian took care of her before, but her condition suddenly worsened, Yanhong Palace was in a hurry...Of course the palace people took care of it."

"That's not quite right." Chunjia said hastily, "Lao Ba is still young, how can I do without my mother and concubine watching over me?"

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him expectantly instead of criticizing Yun Fenghuang.

But this move obviously misunderstood Chunjia, he immediately said: "Why don't you take it to the Spring Palace and ask the queen mother to take care of it for a while?"

Queen Mother: "..."

She quickly put away the smile she had originally prepared, and said expressionlessly, "The Ai family is an old bone, how can it take on the important task of taking care of the prince?"

Chunjia thought she was just making excuses, and said: "Why should the mother belittle herself? There is no one more suitable than the mother to raise the prince. The child is taught by you, so I don't know how you teach the child. ?”

"Prince, it's better not to talk like that." The Queen Mother Yuan smiled coldly and said, "After all, you are the emperor now! If this word gets out, those who don't know will think that you plan to appoint the eighth prince as the heir!"

These words reminded Chunjia that no matter whether the Queen Mother Yuan intends to take care of the eighth prince personally or not, for the sake of the Queen Mother personally raising her, it is really not suitable for her to raise a prince who is not going to be the crown prince.

He hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "The child will obey the mother's order."

Just as I was about to say let the eighth prince stay in front of the concubine Xian, I sent someone to watch over it, but the Empress Dowager Yuan said: "The eighth prince is too young, and now the Yan Hong Palace is all around the concubine Xian, but Don’t be negligent and make him suffer at such a young age. Thinking back, the king of Chu was a clever and cute child, and he was raised by the queen, and it didn’t happen as soon as he said that something happened. Up to now, he is confused. Got the point. Even if the emperor has a lot of heirs now, the emperor's heirs are precious after all. What do you think?"

Chunjia naturally nodded in agreement, and said, "It's just that the empress thinks who should take care of the eighth child for a while?"

"The son of the fourth concubine should naturally be taken care of by the empress herself." The Empress Dowager Yuan glanced at him, "After all, the position of the virtuous concubine is placed there, so you can't ask her own flesh and blood to be raised by the concubine below? It's just a noble concubine. I have always been at odds with my Yuan family. Concubine Shu and Concubine De are the same as her. Now she is only a virtuous queen, and she will treat all the emperor's heirs sincerely. It's just that the queen was very angry with the concubine, and she only complained of illness last night. Just let her get better and help take care of the Eighth Prince rashly, I'm afraid..."

Seeing Chunjia frowned subconsciously, knowing that her adopted son had always been shrewd and not so easy to deceive, Empress Dowager Yuan turned into an annoyed expression, "The Ai family knows that you have always favored the imperial concubine! But don't forget, what are you? Son of Heaven! In the past two years, you have been exposed to the rain and dew that you have not been serious about. If even Xianfei, one of the four concubines, was murdered, all those who knew her would be silenced, or under the eyes of Zhonggong. Gongdu was so angry that he was called sick that day, so it’s all over, so the emperor, you tell Aijia, are you doing this day because of your ambitions in the past, or because you want to be intimate with the noble concubine? Disregarding the overall situation?"

"The Ai family thinks you've done it too well, do you think the Gu family thinks otherwise?"

"Taking a step back, can you rest assured that you are so unabashedly partial to the noble concubine, calling the empress and other concubines' natal families?"

"Queen mother, calm down." Chunjia raised her eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "I don't mean that, I just think that the king of Chu made a mistake under the queen's hands earlier, and I'm afraid it's not safe enough for the old eighth to be taken care of by the queen." ?”

Empress Dowager Yuan said indifferently: "How can it be unsafe? It is the so-called gaining wisdom by taking a fall. The queen is generous and shrewd, but she is too generous. Sometimes she can't help but think of the best for others, so she has no defense. Since Chu After Wang's accident, she can be considered to have come to her senses. From then on, didn't she always raise a pair of princes under her knees and raise them well?"

Chun Jia euphemistically reminded: "But something happened to Chongchang Palace?"

The talents of Taoli Palace were silenced under the eyes of the queen. With the queen's ability, how can she take good care of the eighth prince?

"That's why the Ai family is worried that the Eighth Prince will continue to stay in the Taoli Palace." The Empress Dowager Yuan looked calm, "The Ai family feels very angry when I think about it! It's okay to bully the concubines in normal times, but they are so eye-catching in the middle palace." Lawlessness... She just wanted to rebel! Moreover, she also took advantage of being a concubine Xian at the beginning, otherwise why would the eldest prince be named the King of Qin? Then he turned his face in the next year, which is simply..."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Yuan was sure that Yun Fenghuang was responsible for this matter, Chunjia interrupted with a dry cough: "Mother, I haven't heard that the noble concubine has had any discord with the virtuous concubine recently, could it be a misunderstanding?"

Empress Dowager Yuan sneered and said, "Misunderstanding? Then tell me, besides her, who else would poison Concubine Xian?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence? It is said that Concubine Xian's complexion has not been very good since she returned to the palace." Chunjia said softly, "You think that Concubine Wen Hui Xian was gone before, and this matter of childbirth is not clear, maybe it was a loss during childbirth. I had too much vitality, and now it is exploding."

It's okay if he didn't mention Concubine Wen Huixian, but when he mentioned this posthumous title, Empress Dowager Yuan showed a look of boredom: "Coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences? Concubine Xian suffered a lot when she gave birth, but the head Isn’t it like that every time you give birth? Look at the palace, the birth mothers of the emperor’s heirs are not all like the Yin family, and they will be gone if they say no. Like Qin Wang and Zhaoqing’s birth mothers, they are not all good now What's more, if it's really a coincidence, what happened to those people who disappeared from the Chongchang Palace?"

In short, the queen mother decided that Yun Fenghuang was the culprit. Chunjia helped the noble concubine to defend her to no avail, sighed secretly, and changed the topic to the matter of entrusting the eighth prince to the queen to be raised on her behalf. Sure enough, she mentioned this, The Queen Mother will not pursue Yun Fenghuang anymore.

After a lot of back and forth disputes, Chunjia finally figured out the queen mother's intentions, after a moment of hesitation, finally agreed to send the eighth prince to the Chongchang Palace, and let the queen raise the concubine herself until the concubine Xian recovered.

Empress Dowager Yuan is satisfied now, after all she and the empress have had a bad relationship, although it is not to the point of hating each other, after all, they are no longer as close as before.

Now that I finished talking about the matter, I didn't stay any longer, and went alone.

After the queen mother left, Chunjia meditated for a while in the hall alone, and then sighed softly.

... Gu Zhen who received the holy order almost fainted out of breath. She ignored the waiter telling her to go to Yanhong Palace to pick up the eighth prince immediately. She didn't even bother to change her dress, so she rushed directly to Taichu Palace and questioned Chunjia: " Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince's biological mother is still here, why do I need a concubine to raise her?!"

Chunjia had a headache when facing the queen mother, and was helpless when facing Yun Fenghuang, but he was very calm when facing the queen: "Concubine Xian is seriously ill, His Royal Highness Tao Li revolves around the throne, and has no time to take care of the eighth prince, you are the master of the sixth palace , shouldn’t you lend a helping hand?”

Gu Zhen held back his breath and said, "But I already have the third prince and the king of Chu under my knees, and as a queen, I have to deal with a lot of palace affairs every day, and I have to take care of Gu Guiren's pregnancy when I have time, I really don't have the energy Take care of the Eighth Prince again!"

"Then who do you want to hand over the eighth prince?" Chunjia asked slowly, "Under you, the noble concubine has six children and also assists the sixth palace. And you understand that the relationship between the noble concubine, the mother queen, and the virtuous concubine The relationship is not very good, let her raise the eighth prince, how can the empress mother and concubine Xian feel at ease? Concubine Shu is pregnant and can't take care of herself; concubine De is young and knowledgeable, and she is friendly with the concubine, so she must not be able to gain the trust of the birth mother of the eighth prince. The concubine who goes down further has insufficient status, and is not qualified to take care of the concubine Xian's own flesh and blood... If you don't stand up at this time, who else can I entrust to?"

Gu Zhen said: "Concubine Xian is still here, this is not a formal adoption of the eighth prince, why pay so much attention? From the perspective of concubine, Concubine An is very suitable. She will also enter the palace when His Majesty gets married. The old man who gave birth to King Qi and raised the sixth prince has experience and is not very busy; secondly, she is the sister of the concubine Xian and the concubine and aunt of the eighth prince. If she is asked to take care of the eighth prince, I think, whether it is The loving mother, the empress dowager, or the virtuous concubine, must be able to rest assured."

Chunjia said lightly: "They don't worry, but I don't."

"Your Majesty!" Gu Zhen didn't expect Chunjia to say this, and his chills overwhelmed his anger for a while. Even if Concubine An had killed many concubines earlier, how indulged Chunjia was to her at that time?

Turning around, is he worried about Concubine An?

The empress had mixed feelings in her heart, she calmed down and said, "Every time your majesty concubine comes in, I feel unwell..."

"The queen refuses in every possible way. Is it because she doesn't want to raise a prince who has no biological mother to take care of her for a while, or do you have nothing to worry about?" Chunjia interrupted her and asked slowly, "In my opinion, this is just a trivial matter: The concubine is seriously ill, so you take the eighth prince to her and take care of her for a while. As the lord of the sixth palace, this is your job, and it's easy, isn't it?"

He said so lightly, Gu Zhen was also speechless, she was silent for a while, and simply said straightforwardly: "If you just raise the eighth prince temporarily, then of course there is no problem, as your majesty said, as a queen, it is the duty of a concubine." But this concubine also wants to say something that His Majesty may not like to hear: If Concubine Guo Xian does not survive this time, how does Your Majesty plan to deal with the Eighth Prince?"

Chunjia's tone was very flat: "Naturally follow the rules. If the empress is unwilling to take care of her, she can ask the noble concubine Shu Concubine De Concubine what she wants. Or, add a virtuous concubine."

Gu Zhen was greatly relieved by these words. She raised her head to look at the emperor's expression, and saw that his face was taken for granted and did not mean to be perfunctory. I naturally obey."

Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Chunjia who asked her: "The empress has always been straightforward, but the concubine Xian is seriously ill. I just let you take care of the eighth prince for a few days. If you were yourself, you would definitely not think so much... ...This time, he was so excited that he came here to find me to object, did someone say something to the queen?"

Gu Zhen's heart was shaken, and he secretly thought that the emperor is really not easy to fool.

If Yun Fenghuang hadn't spoken in advance, she really wouldn't have thought about it.

After all, as the Son of Heaven said, as the middle palace, when the mothers and concubines of the young heirs are temporarily unable to take care of them, it is their duty to lend a helping hand.

In particular, the eighth prince's biological mother is still a concubine with the status of a virtuous concubine. Except for the empress and concubines like Yun Fenghuang who are so favored, there is no one who is qualified to take care of him on his behalf.

"...The concubine has heard some things." Gu Zhen calmed down and said cautiously, "The most important thing is that the concubine's health is not very good recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the eighth prince."

Chunjia looked down at her, and for a moment, said abruptly, "Is it the noble concubine?"

Gu Zhen: "..."

Xiao Yun, please remember, this is not Bengong who betrayed you!

The emperor himself guessed it! ! !

She forced a smile, "Why does Your Majesty think so?"

Chunjia turned her gaze to look at the palace bricks not far away, but didn't answer her words. After a while, she let out a sigh of relief and said, "The empress should step down if she has nothing to do."

Gu Zhen then left with a lot of thoughts on her mind. On the way back to Yanfu Palace, she thought about it and was uncertain, and finally decided to send someone to go through the corner gate of Xuanqing Palace to report a letter to Yun Fenghuang.

It's not that Bengong is afraid of Xiaoyun's lowly maidservant, but that Bengong really didn't do anything to betray her, so there's no need to take revenge on her for this!

The queen told herself that if she was the only one, she wouldn't care about fighting with Yun Fenghuang.

The key is that Gu Su is pregnant. If Concubine Min Gui is angered and she attacks Gu Su, then...

King Qin can now run all over the palace, and he can join forces with Zhaoqing to beat his younger brother. If she can't have another son, in the future, King Qin and other sons can be alone, but the son who came late is still young and childish. It's not safe enough to enter the East Palace as an identity.

After all, there have been examples of the Eastern Palace being abandoned in the past.

... Yun Fenghuang was slightly surprised when he received the queen's tip-off. The person who sent the message repeatedly emphasized: "My mother didn't admit it at all, and she didn't mention you. But I don't know why, Your Majesty thought about it for a while, and said I mentioned you directly! My mother was caught off guard and didn't know what to do for a while, so she asked His Majesty why she should think like this, but His Majesty didn't say anything, so she asked her to leave."

"I know." Yun Fenghuang frowned, thought quickly, and said slowly, "I know what kind of person the Empress is, so naturally I won't misunderstand the empress. Thank you for letting me know today. This palace will remember it in my heart."

As he spoke, he was given some rewards for him, and then let him go.

Only came to leave, the Qing people waited for the attendants to change their expressions, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this?"

"Your Majesty didn't send someone to abolish this palace right away, why are you panicking?" Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, and said lightly, "Besides, the things that silenced Chongchang Palace were not done by this palace, and it wouldn't be the case if you think about it. The empress did it. This time Concubine Xian is not clear about her illness, who knows who is behind the trick? Even if I have suspicions, it can be regarded as causing trouble!"

That's why it's good to be favored, and it can be disturbed even if you don't care.

If it makes sense, then you can let yourself go even more.

Yun Fenghuang was so calm and relaxed, not only was he not afraid at all, he also said: "Chen Jing, go to Chongchang Palace quickly, the queen is a waste, and the servants are not very capable. They couldn't find out why those people in Taoli Palace didn't have any Yes, you should not disappoint Ben Gong!"

Chen Jing understood what she meant, that is, if nothing could be found out, the editor would have to make up some evidence that could be used by Xuanqing Palace, and left immediately.

In the evening of this day, Shengjia arrived at Huanhua Temple.
