Chapter 129 Unexpected
Chen Jing said in a low voice: "The servant has not found out the clue."
But after a pause, he continued, "It's just that when His Royal Highness King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing were fighting, the palace people never noticed that the two His Royal Highnesses approached the steps. Whether it was unintentional or intentional, I haven't had time to verify it."
The implication is that there is no trace of other people's intervention in this matter.
But if Yun Fenghuang needed it, he could also concoct a proof that the princess was murdered out of nothing.
"..." After thinking for a moment, Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "The people I sent in front of their brothers and sisters are all appropriate, and I know that Zhaoqing broke his leg a few days ago and has difficulty moving, how could he be like this Not paying attention? Give Bengong a good look to see if someone is playing tricks!"
She felt that a scapegoat was still needed.
Although he said that the imperial physician likes to exaggerate, and that Zhao Qing is still young, he will definitely recover well, but...
What if?
What if this daughter really becomes disabled in the future?
This is Chunjia's favorite imperial daughter. Although Zhaoqing was allowed to play around and continue her studies after her broken leg, Chunjia also had a part in it, but it is common for the emperor to turn his face and deny it.
Yun Fenghuang didn't want to turn around and be blamed by Chunjia for not taking good care of her eldest daughter.
And Zhaoqing herself, such a beautiful woman with golden branches and jade leaves, would she be willing if she limped back? At that time, I have to blame my parents.
Chunjia is the son of heaven, she probably dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
As an adoptive mother, don't you want to make a punching bag for her?
Even if Yun Fenghuang wasn't afraid of this daughter, she didn't need to work so hard to raise her up and not be well.
So it's better to take advantage of the matter and find a shield to come out.
In the future, it would be best for Zhaoqing to be peaceful and peaceful. If it is really bad, at least there is a clear culprit to hate, just don't hate her.
So he told Chen Jing to quickly find out the "truth" so that he could report it to Chunjia.
It's just that when Chen Jing tactfully asked who to find to top the tank, Yun Fenghuang also felt a little bit difficult.
If you want to put it aside in normal times, this matter is easy to do, not just pick one of the people in your own group.
But now the war in northern Xinjiang is still going on, and it is not appropriate for the front and rear palaces to cause chaos.
Especially for concubines with fathers and brothers in the army, the tacit agreement is that as long as they don't do heinous things, they will turn a blind eye to small mistakes at the moment, and settle accounts after the war is over.
Those fathers and brothers who have never joined the army are mostly from too low a family background, so they do not have the possibility to reach out into the Xuanqing Palace to murder the emperor's heir.
"..." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Concubine Xie seems to be very sad when the four princes born to Concubine Xie passed away a few days ago? Have you misunderstood me?"
Chen Jing said knowingly: "Young Concubine Xie is really daring! Since she entered the palace, she has helped her a lot. She doesn't want to be grateful, but repays kindness with resentment. She is really insane!"
"It's just." Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him, and lowered his voice, "Although Concubine Xie stayed in Xuanqing Palace, the days were not long, and she was appointed to go out early. I have always been strict in governing the palace. , she is not favored, where did she get the ability to extend her hand to this palace, and also implicate the two heirs?"
"This..." Chen Jing thought for a while, and then asked tentatively, "Could it... have something to do with the biological mothers of the two emperor's heirs?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang looking at him with raised eyebrows, he bowed and said softly, "Your Majesty, this servant said some words to your heart: His Royal Highness Qin Wang and His Highness Princess Zhaoqing are only a few months apart, and they have always been raised by your Majesty. The empress treats them as if they are her own, and treats them equally. However, His Royal Highness King Qin is not an heir under the name of the empress, so the palace people, whether intentionally or not, are slightly biased towards Princess Zhaoqing in private. But if Her Royal Highness Zhaoqing is not good at it , it will be difficult to participate in all kinds of things in the future, and the empress's thoughts will fall on His Royal Highness King Qin?"
This is a tactful statement, but what it actually means is that Yun Fenghuang is a sharp and strong person.
She herself is like this, and the requirements for her children are similar.
Even Queen Gu Zhen felt scruples because of this, and told the third prince under his knees not to surpass King Qin's performance.
Then if Zhaoqing is disabled, Yun Fenghuang doesn't say anything, how can he not feel that since this daughter can't cultivate anything to add glory to herself, why not just give up and put her mind on cultivating the King of Qin?
Otherwise, how could Yun Fenghuang's princess not be rewarded for protecting King Qin?
This is still the present, and after two years, the seventh and ninth princes have grown up, especially the ninth prince, who is Yun Fenghuang's own child. How could it be possible that he does not surpass King Qin in her heart?
So it can't be said that the eldest son of King Qin has become a stepping stone for the Ninth Prince.
As the biological mother of King Qin, it is reasonable for Zhao to plan for her own son.
Conversely, although Princess Zhaoqing is recorded under Yunfenghuang's name, and is Yunfenghuang's only daughter so far, Yunfenghuang also raised three nieces who were closely related by blood, and later adopted the seventh and ninth princes. .
In terms of pros and cons, the seventh prince with the backing of the Yin family is actually treated better than King Qin and Zhaoqing, not to mention the ninth prince is the heir of a noble concubine. In this era when girls cannot inherit the throne, Zhaoqing is naturally stronger than Zhaoqing.
And no matter it is Yun Fenghuang herself or her concubines, they are still young and can give birth.
Princess Zhaoqing also has a hot-tempered and jealous personality, and now that she is young, she can still say that she is ignorant and cute.
When you grow up, if you don't change it, it will be annoying to say the least.
If the biological mother Yi Xingen was still in the Xuanqing Palace, according to Yun Fenghuang's tolerance towards the biological mothers of the emperor's heirs, she might still have the opportunity to raise some points in private. But now that she has gone out to take charge of the first palace, she has no chance to get close to her daughter, let alone give her any advice.
So Yi Xingen was also suspected.
After all, if Princess Zhaoqing grew up peacefully, her adoptive mother, Yun Fenghuang, was kind to her out of emotion and reason, and if she was rejected in the future, she could only blame herself.
But now that something happened when they were young, how could Chunjia and Yunfenghuang not feel sorry for them? Yun Fenghuang also cannot escape responsibility.
In the future, even if Zhaoqing's temper is more eccentric, it is justifiable.
Although it is a bit shocking to say that the biological mother actually made her daughter crippled in order to ensure that her biological daughter will always be pampered, but it is true that Yi Xingen kept eyeliner in Xuanqing Palace.
Yun Fenghuang's rhetoric here is subtle enough, Chunjia will probably still believe it.
After discussing for a while, the master and servant finalized the final version of the statement: Concubine Xie hated the other heirs because of the fourth prince. chance. In the end, because of the disappearance of the fourth prince, Tongxia Palace also completely fell.
Concubine Xie certainly had reason to hate the other children, especially the eldest son and eldest daughter, King Qin and Zhaoqing.
Everyone knows that Chunjia loves them the most.
When they were hugged and pitied by the emperor, the fourth prince was forgotten.
Chunjia didn't even attend his death in person, but gave him something afterwards as a consolation.
This was an extra merciful gesture for the sake of Duke Yi's mansion, at least the emperor didn't ask Concubine Xie how she brought up the child, why did the fourth prince die of illness?
Therefore, Concubine Xie took advantage of her background in Xuanqing Palace to instigate Yi Xingen and the Zhao family to secretly use King Qin to murder Princess Zhaoqing in order to take revenge on the emperor and Yun Fenghuang!
Now that the rhetoric has been finalized, Yun Fenghuang will naturally go to Chunjia to complain about his grievances.
Chunjia didn't like Concubine Xie, and even the birth of the fourth prince was inextricably linked to the previous dynasty.
After the fourth prince left, he couldn't even think of this concubine at all.
On the contrary, Yunfenghuang's mother and son are the emperor's heart and soul.
It was said that Zhaoqing's injured leg would make the situation worse, and there was a high probability that the root cause of the disease would be left behind. People immediately called Concubine Xie over to see her.
Yun Fenghuang was ready to quarrel with Concubine Xie in front of the emperor, who knew that Concubine Xie would come after a while, and after hearing the accusation, she sneered and admitted directly: "The fourth prince is also His Majesty's own flesh and blood. When it comes to the identity of the biological mother, what are the biological mothers of King Qin and Zhaoqing? The noble concubine's background is more than one notch higher! Your Majesty would rather treat the two concubine's sons as your heart, but disdain the fourth prince who is a concubine! Even when the fourth prince was lying on the sickbed and dying, His Majesty never personally I took a look! We are both His Majesty's flesh and blood, and the disparity in treatment is so great, why can't I seek justice for the fourth prince, and let His Majesty and the imperial concubine experience the pain of a beloved child suffering from unexpected disasters?!"
"..." This reaction made Yun Fenghuang stunned for a moment, wondering if it was her who really did it by mistake?
At this time, Chunjia had already complained about the case, and angrily reprimanded Concubine Xie for messing around: "The fourth prince was born full-term and has always been strong. He suffered from intestinal ulcers. This is simply due to poor care! Otherwise, there are so many imperial heirs in the palace. The fourth prince is older and some are younger than the fourth prince, how come you don't have an intestinal ulcer?! As a biological mother, you are usually fine, but many palace people are waiting on you, but you can't even take care of your own flesh and blood. It's a negligence of duty! For the face of the Yun family, I didn't punish you, but comforted you. I even asked Mrs. Yi Guogong to enter the palace to comfort you. Okay. Who knew that you didn't want to repent, but instead got worse and blamed others!"
"Now I know why the Fourth Prince died at such a young age!"
"Except for the fact that you, as a biological mother, don't care about him, it's also because of your behavior, and your virtue is not worthy, how can you be qualified to give birth to an emperor's heir?!"
"That's why God wants to take back the fourth prince, so as not to ruin it in your hands!"
"If I had known that the fourth prince had landed, I shouldn't have entrusted you to raise him!"
Concubine Xie was originally of thin stature, but after losing her son, she became thinner, and she looked weak.
At this moment, her emotions were agitated, her skirt was shaking, and she seemed to fall to the ground anytime and anywhere, but in the end she held back, looked up into Chunjia's eyes, raised her chin slightly, and said: "I am not worthy of being a concubine, but After all, the concubine is also the biological mother of the fourth prince! It is the imperial concubine who is so favored by His Majesty, and she has nothing to do with her! According to His Majesty, the imperial concubine is even more unworthy than the concubine, so I have not been able to give birth to a son and a half for Your Majesty. !"
"Pull it down!" Chunjia was extremely angry, but calmed down, and slowly sat back with her hands on the imperial case, and ordered with a blank face, "Concubine Xie suffered from hysteria due to the death of the fourth prince, and can no longer be a concubine. For Jieyu, retreat to the North Palace!"
Beigong is not the name of a palace, but a collective name for an abandoned palace in the north of Miyagi.
Because this palace occupies a vast area, it is very expensive to repair. The emperors of the past dynasties did not have a particularly prodigal family. In addition, the other palaces are enough to live in, so they have been ignored.
Occasionally there are a few rooms in it that can still be used by people, and they are used as a cold palace.
What Chunjia did now was tantamount to giving up Yun Qingman completely.
Such a result was expected by Yun Fenghuang, and it was Yun Qingman's reaction that surprised her.
Therefore, after Yun Qingman was dragged down, she dragged Chunjia and complained about her grievances. She acted as if she had been framed so she was sad and peaceful, and she resigned from Taichu Palace, and ordered someone to drive to Beigong to see her. Yun Qingman.
