Chapter 161 To Deal with the Enemy, We Must...

Yun Fenghuang looked at Concubine An suspiciously: "How can there be so many incense sticks and paper money in your bedroom?"

Concubine An turned her head to look at her, did not answer this question, but said: "It's a bit messy inside, I'm afraid it will spoil the eyes of the imperial concubine, please wait here for a while, the concubine will come out after washing up."

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" When Concubine An brought her attendants inside, the Qing people reminded in a low voice, "Last night was His Highness King Qi's birthday."

This was all several years ago, and Yun Fenghuang really doesn't remember much.

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he snorted softly: "The Sixth Prince must have been ill last night, right? But she also has the mind to miss King Qi? Does she have the nerve to miss King Qi?"

The reason why King Qi died was not caused by Concubine An herself.

But now that the sixth prince was ill, Yun Fenghuang didn't want to be troublesome, and when Concubine An came out after changing her dress, they went back to the side hall together.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Yuan had arrived, and she was weeping on the side of the couch. The Empress stood beside her and comforted her in a low voice... Looking at the loving mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the atmosphere was somewhat stiff.

Seeing Yun Fenghuang and Concubine An, Empress Dowager Yuan paused, and said, "Niang Niang, you have worked hard, what are you doing here? Let's go and have a rest, the left and right queens and imperial concubines are all there, I'm afraid there will be no one in the sixth place." Are you taking good care of me?"

The queen held back her breath and said: "Mother, the daughter-in-law said the same thing just now, but Concubine An still came, so it can be seen that she can't rest assured. It's no wonder, as the saying goes, the sixth prince is in such a state, how can Concubine An You have the heart to go away to rest by yourself, don't you think?"

Why!

The Eighth Prince had a slight headache before, and the Queen Mother was like a stepmother who failed to fulfill her responsibilities. She blamed her for not caring enough for the Eighth Prince.

Now that the sixth prince is sick, does she know that she loves Concubine An?

"Concubine An is naturally thinking about the sixth child." The Queen Mother Yuan raised her eyelids and glanced at the Queen, and said lightly, "But since you, the Queen, are here, how can you see her so self-willed and not taking herself as a child? What's the matter? If she is tired from taking care of the sixth child, what will the sixth child do in the future? You are a queen, and you should look like a queen. The concubine loves the child very much, and cares about the child, so how can you not be sober?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Fenghuang, "So does the noble concubine."

"Empress Dowager, how can concubines be able to persuade such things?" Yun Fenghuang said unceremoniously, "After all, everyone knows that Concubine An is the sixth prince who only lost two of her own flesh and blood. , can this not be regarded as sharp-edged?"

Concubine An's face changed when she heard the words, and Empress Dowager Yuan also looked livid, staring at her, and said coldly: "If the noble concubine can't speak, then stop it..."

"What this concubine said is the truth." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, just ask Concubine An, is she willing to leave the sixth prince behind and go back to rest?"

"My queen, don't be as knowledgeable as a noble concubine, she is such a knife-mouthed bean curd heart." Seeing that the situation is not good, the queen quickly smoothed things over, "I heard that the sixth prince is ill, Concubine An is very worried, she immediately dropped what she was doing and came here ...By the way, didn't you say, noble concubine, that there is still something to do in your palace? Then you should go back and get busy, as I am here, and the queen mother is also here, but you won't be needed for a while."

As she spoke, she began to push Yun Fenghuang out, fearing that they would pinch her... It wasn't that the queen didn't want to see Queen Mother Yuan being torn apart by the concubine's hands, the problem was that she didn't trust Chunjia too much!

If the imperial concubine and the loving mother empress dowager fight alone, Chunjia will have a headache, so go ahead.

But if she, the queen, was present, maybe the emperor would not dare to offend the queen mother, could not bear to criticize the noble concubine, and finally dragged her, the queen, to be a scapegoat?

Yun Fenghuang returned to Xuanqing Palace unhappy, and when Chen Jing saw it, she made a wink to attract Qin Wang Zhaoqing to make trouble with her, so that the master would not be unhappy alone.

Although the brothers and sisters are not less naughty, they are also very cute when they are well-behaved.

Therefore, the three mothers and sons soon enjoyed themselves happily.

Just as she was being happy, someone from the palace came to inform her of something: "Just now a maid from Huzhu Palace went to Chongchang Palace to ask for an audience, the way is to expose that Concubine An deliberately murdered the Sixth Prince!"

"This Concubine An is really getting worse and worse. Regardless of whether she did this thing or not, she actually let the people below come to the palace to sue her. The lord of the first palace is still the lord who has been in the palace for many years. I am so confused about this. You might as well die!" Empress Gu Zhen was cursing at the back of the Chongchang Palace at the moment.

She doesn't really care about the life and death of the sixth prince. After all, there are many heirs in the palace now, and the sixth prince has never been with her. If all is well, Gu Zhen may have a little pity because he can't give birth to a child.

But thinking of the troubles and anger caused by this child, she really couldn't love her anymore: I also know that it is very unlikely for Concubine An to do such a thing as murdering the emperor's heir. After all, one of her own two children did not land, and the other died young. Even if there is a loving mother and empress dowager to take care of her now, how old is the loving mother and empress dowager? Will she have to count on the sixth prince in the future? It's possible that Concubine An doesn't really love the sixth prince, but it's really unreasonable to say that she will deliberately be unfavorable to the sixth prince.

Secondly, even taking ten thousand steps back, Concubine An was really insane enough to kill the sixth prince.

The prince's biological mother was humble, and among the many princes in the palace, she was not favored at all.

Is there anyone else who risked offending the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, to hold Concubine An accountable for him?

The Queen dared to bet that regardless of whether this matter is true or not, 80% of it will be nothing.

The problem is, this unresolved process does not know how much labor and effort will be added to Zhonggong.

"Forget it, I've already reported you, so follow the rules." The queen ordered listlessly, "Invite all the concubines in the palace, as well as the loving mother, the empress dowager, and your majesty."

After a while, the concubines arrived at the Chongchang Hall one after another, but the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and Chunjia were nowhere to be seen.

The former said that he was a little tired just after returning from the Huzhu Palace, so he let the empress decide for herself; the latter was busy with government affairs, and it was said that the affairs of the harem belonged to the empress, so don't involve him in worrying about everything.

Gu Zhen held back his anger and said to the concubines: "Have you heard about it by now? The palace servants exposed Concubine An's murder of the sixth prince, what do you think?"

Concubines, you look at me, I look at yours, and in the end they all go to see Yunfenghuang.

Yun Fenghuang looked indifferent: "I also ask the empress to show me."

Could it be that the imperial concubine did this?

Gu Zhen took a look at her when she heard the words. Although Concubine An has been out of favor for a long time, as the empress dowager's niece, she has a very special status in the palace. Anyway, it is definitely not the kind of target that the maids can bully at will.

Dare to stand up and expose her murder of the sixth prince, and say that no one instigated anyone to believe her?

The queen was very suspicious of Yun Fenghuang.

But looking at it now, it seems that it has nothing to do with the imperial concubine?

She wondered for a while whether she had misunderstood or whether the imperial concubine had good acting skills. She calmed down and said, "Since you have no idea, then follow the rules. Let the palace servants come to the palace first and tell everyone about her." How did Concubine An murder the Sixth Prince?"

"The servant girl Qingdie greets the empress, ladies and gentlemen." Not long after, an elderly court lady in a light pink shirt was brought up. Yun Fenghuang looked familiar to her, but she couldn't remember for a while, it was her. After reporting her name, it was only now that she remembered that this was the palace lady who had been threatened when she first entered the palace.

After seeing the ceremony, Qingdie talked about the process under the empress's signal: "The first two years, Concubine An, were fine, but she didn't care much about people. The past two years have become more and more weird. After the sixth prince landed, it was better for a few days. She even took the sixth prince to sleep and made him laugh... But, after only half a year, the empress suddenly lost interest in the sixth prince! She only left the sixth prince to the care of the servants and stayed in the bedroom all day long , Sometimes I don’t show up for several days. The meals are brought in by Aunt Zhu.”

Concubine An's indifference to the sixth prince was somewhat heard in the palace.

But since this is Chunjia's childhood sweetheart and the queen mother's aunt, if she doesn't come out to cause trouble, everyone doesn't care about it.

Hearing this, the concubines didn't feel anything.

I heard Qingdie continue to say: "Later, the empress became more and more depressed. Aunt Zhu persuaded and persuaded in private, and even had a fight with the empress, but the empress didn't respond...Before, the empress had committed suicide for some reason but After being rescued, Aunt Zhu and the empress did not know what they said, but the empress has regained her energy for a few days..."

The concubines looked at Yun Fenghuang together, because before Concubine An committed suicide, it was not unrelated to her.

Yun Fenghuang looked back calmly, she really didn't feel guilty about Concubine An.

Thinking back to when she first entered the palace, it was her. If she was replaced, she might not know where her bones were buried.

Concubine An was in the first day of junior high school and she was in the fifteenth year of junior high school. She felt that if she couldn't survive, she was inferior to others.

Seeing this, the queen gave a dry cough and asked Qingdie to continue.

Qing Die continued: "But it was only a few days, and the empress is even lower than before. Originally, the servants have no choice but to serve the sixth prince with all their heart, hoping that when the sixth prince grows up, he will be able to accept the empress's knees. .”

The sixth prince was born in the ninth year of Chunjia, so he is four years old this year.

Children of this age can already walk and run, and can speak more fluently.

He did bring Concubine An a certain amount of joy, which made Concubine An, who was not very concerned about the prince, feel a little bit fond of him.

But just two days ago, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Concubine An suddenly became unhappy.

Everyone can understand this. After all, King Qi was born prematurely the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then died of cold within a month.

For others, this matter has passed for several years, and Ruyun Fenghuang almost didn't remember it.

But for Concubine An, she might not be able to get out in this life.

Therefore, Ningbi Highness and Highness were cautious in their words and deeds and did not dare to disturb her. In private, they coaxed the Sixth Prince to often come to Concubine An to act like a spoiled child, hoping to relieve Concubine An in this way.

In the end, Concubine An didn't know what to think, she hugged the sixth prince and praised him for being filial and sensible for a while, then turned her head and pushed him into the basin!

Qingdie choked up and said: "At that time, the servants were sent out of the hall by the empress, and they were not in there. The poor sixth prince was young, how could he be an opponent of the empress? Later, he was still struggling, and the basin fell on the ground. Hearing the movement, Aunt Zhu After asking about the situation and getting no answer from the empress, I was worried, went in to see the empress, only to find that something was wrong... The servant girl really doesn't know why the empress is like this? Even if the sixth prince is not her own, at least he is an heir under her name, and The empress has said it herself, the sixth prince is pure filial piety...Since this is the case, why bother to think about it, let alone bring the sixth prince?!"

The faces of the concubines changed when they heard it. The empress had heard it once before, so her expression didn't change at the moment, she just said lightly: "Probably this happened. I just sent people to tell Concubine An to come. It's just that the palace People reported that Concubine An couldn't leave because she had to take care of the sixth prince... What kind of temper is she, you didn't just enter the palace, so you should know it well. Let's talk about how to deal with this matter this time?"

Everyone looks at Yun Feng Huang.

Yun Fenghuang said: "If what Qingdie said is true, then the sixth prince should not be raised by Concubine An. Even if there are not a few imperial heirs in the palace now, all of them are His Majesty's flesh and blood, and they are definitely not handed over to Concubine An reason."

The queen said: "What you said makes sense..."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Fenghuang said again, "It's just that Concubine An hasn't come here yet. Although she is not a smart person, she has her status anyway, so she can't be seriously suspicious just because of a servant's words. A concubine, right? As a concubine, it's useless for us to discuss these things now, the key is to figure out the ins and outs first."

Like the queen, she didn't think this matter would do anything to Concubine An, but it was very annoying, and she felt that it was a waste of her time and energy.

At this moment, I can't help but lack of interest, "After all, I was with the empress in Ningbi Hall before, it seems that Concubine An is quite concerned about the sixth prince."

The queen was silent for a while, then said slowly: "Alright."

So they broke up.

On the way back to Huanhua Hall, Dan'e and Chi'e murmured, "Why does Concubine An keep on going?"

"Whether she doesn't stop, she just has trouble with her children. If she is born, if she is not, she will not be able to see the emperor's heir live well."

Yun Fenghuang glanced at them, and the two court ladies dared not speak at once.

However, she was not angry, but said: "Although Concubine An is stupid, if she sincerely wants to harm the sixth prince, do you think the sixth prince really has a chance of surviving?"

"Your Majesty is saying that she did this with ulterior motives?" Dan'e and Chi'e looked at each other, moved to her side curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Then what is Concubine An up to? Your Majesty is already tired of her, and Liugong is not. If you like her, if she still makes such a fuss, aren't you afraid that even the loving mother empress dowager will be ignored? The loving mother empress dowager was not present just now."

Yun Fenghuang smiled: "Have you paid attention to the sixth prince before?"

Both Dan'e and Chi'e shook their heads.

There are three princes and one princess under their master's knees, and it's too late to serve their little masters every day, so who would care about the sixth prince?

"But after this incident, who still can't remember the pity of the sixth prince?" Yun Fenghuang sighed leisurely and said, "You should have heard about how this child was born in the first place? This life experience is pitiful enough That's right, not to mention the tragic death of his biological mother, his adoptive mother also wanted to kill him, even if he survived by chance, given the relationship between Concubine An and the empress dowager, even if he is adopted by other concubines in the future, I don't know what will happen."

Dan E blinked, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, Concubine An deliberately used this method to let the Sixth Prince into everyone's eyes?"

"Madam, did Concubine An do this for His Majesty to see?" Chi E thought more, "After all, the sixth prince is also four years old this year, but because of Concubine An, he has nothing to do with other palaces. , it's hard to think of him... Could it be that Concubine An wants His Majesty to take pity on the sixth prince?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Yuan Niangniang has indeed been very quiet for the past two years. I am not sure what she thinks in her heart now. But the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Your Majesty is diligent in government affairs, and the time that can be distributed to the harem and the emperor's heirs is very important. With so much, who wouldn’t want to take a little more?”

She doesn't care what the queen thinks, for her, all those who compete for Chunjia's care and attention are enemies!

Anyone who seems to be fighting for Chunjia's care and attention is also an enemy!

After thinking for a while, she ordered her left and right, "Didn't the imperial physician say two days ago that I can have children now? You go back to your majesty to ask for some medicinal materials for recuperating your body. Don't be too public, but don't keep it too secret. In short Just be natural, let Liugong know that this palace has no intention of caring about him now, and is working hard to earn a biological heir!"

He couldn't believe that after the news got out, Chunjia still had the heart to feel sorry for the sixth prince and not the sixth prince.

Furthermore, it can further stimulate the queen.

Let's see what else the Gu family did to anger Sacred Heart while they were in a panic?
