Chapter 181 Does He Love Her?

Chunjia was startled suddenly, but she didn't panic. While being dressed by Yan Yin, she asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"The imperial guards have gone to investigate and have not reported back yet." This means that it is not clear what happened to the palace gate.

The emperor thought of countless possibilities in an instant, including the remnants of the Ji family, the henchmen of the regent king, and even the always docile Zheng family... There are even other people and things that he could never think of. After the regent was sent away, there was also a change in the palace gate, which was unusual after all.

Moreover, Yan Yin came to ask him to evade, instead of asking him to wait for a while, the imperial army killed the rebels and came back. Obviously the battle at the palace gate was not so smooth, and the Taichu Palace may not be safe.

And after the Palace of Absolute Beginning, there is the harem!

"Have the two empresses and concubines been notified by someone?" The emperor pushed away the regular clothes handed over by Yan Yin, insisted on putting on the emperor's robe, and said coldly, "I am not a weak king who has no strength to restrain a chicken, but Let's see who dares to violate the palace ban... You go behind and protect the two empress dowagers and noble concubines!"

After a pause, "The middle palace is also taking care of it. If it is not possible, we will move the tenth prince and the twelve princes to a safe place. I will take people to the palace gate to defend against the enemy!"

"Your Majesty can't do it!" Yan Yin was startled, and quickly knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty is a body of gold, even if you are talented in literature and martial arts, how can you put yourself in danger?! Even the two empress dowagers, queen empresses, and imperial concubine empresses must also I will not approve of His Majesty's move!"

He is the emperor's confidant, so he naturally understands that the emperor is not a weak person who needs to hide behind heavy guards. On the contrary, ordinary soldiers are probably no match for the emperor.

The problem is that the sword has no eyes, and the arrows are flying, who cares whether you are high or low? In case Chunjia made a mistake, what can the eldest son of the emperor who is only six years old do?

What's more, the eldest son of the emperor is under the imperial concubine's knees, and there are several princes in front of the empress... Even if the rebels are defeated by then, the harem will fight first.

If one is not good, the Gongxiang clan is afraid that they will have to pass on a step-heir from a side branch to continue the main clan.

But Chunjia ignored him at all, strode out, ordered people to fetch armor and bows and knives for him, led the remaining guards of Taichu Palace, and went straight to the palace gate where the accident happened!

The emperor seemed furious, but in fact he was very calm.

Since he assumed the throne, he has rarely been impulsive and aggressive, and has taken every step steadily. This is also the reason why the Ji family has never been able to wrest power from him after he launched an attack, and was even wiped out by him.

Because she was born in a remote feudal lord, orphaned and widowed, with meager capital, Chunjia knew that there was no possibility of making a comeback, and her actions seemed to be escaping, but in fact it was only after repeated weighings that she had a great deal of confidence.

Moreover, since the emperor came to listen to the government, the emperor felt that he was kind to his subjects. In this case, even if someone had ulterior motives and instigated a change in the palace, the people's hearts and righteousness were all towards him!

Considering the number of people, the only army in Gyeonggi is the imperial army.

Unless the large-scale rebellion of the Imperial City Division is hidden from the eyes and ears of Sun Yu and other close officials, it is impossible for other large troops to hide in Beijing.

Some of the Forbidden Army may be incited, but it is impossible for all of them to be willing and dare to take the risk of the nine clans being exterminated and commit chaos.

After all, Chunjia never treated them badly. Furthermore, the Gongxiang family has never been a monarch of the common people since Dingding. After all, the people of the world still turn to the royal family.

Therefore, even if Yan Yin hadn't found out the specific situation of the palace change, Chunjia thought to himself that there would be no major problems if he went to sit in town.

... If it doesn't work, he won't fight to the death without retreating. With his martial arts and scheming, he may not be unable to escape from the chaos.

But the Queen Mother and Concubine in the harem made him more worried.

The two empress dowagers are getting old, the imperial concubine is pregnant, the empress...it doesn't matter whether the empress is dead or not, because the Gu family has other daughters, and the three first princes are not the empress's own. Although Chunjia thinks it is more troublesome to change the empress, but If there is really no other way, it is acceptable for the Queen to die.

Mainly the empress dowager at the top, the noble concubine in the middle, and the two young tenth princes and twelve princes, it is difficult to preserve them in the chaos.

Therefore, he had to keep the rebellious army out of the palace gate, retreat to Taichu Palace at most, and decided not to let them step into the harem.

Otherwise, the people the emperor cares about may not be intact.

When Chunjia rushed to the palace gate in a hurry, the harem received reports one after another.

No one can maintain complete composure in the face of such a sudden change, even Yun Fenghuang sat up in horror: "Gongchang?! How could it be?!"

"Your Majesty, it was said by the servant in front of His Majesty, there must be nothing wrong." The Qing said hurriedly, holding a palace man's clothes to dress her up, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has already gone to the palace gate Personally command the enemy, and specially send people to ask the empress to avoid it... I heard people hint that the only concubine mentioned by His Majesty in the huge palace is the empress, please don't delay, and follow the people immediately!"

Yun Fenghuang subconsciously asked: "Did King Qin call Zhaoqing?"

Qing's staff paused, and his voice was low and inaudible: "Your Majesty did not mention the two Highnesses."

"..." Yun Fenghuang's heart sank. The emperor has always loved King Qin and Zhaoqing the most, and even made Yun Fenghuang jealous and angry several times because of these two children. Have you ever considered arranging for your eldest son and daughter to take refuge together?

Although he didn't fall behind Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang was still shocked by the coldness and determination he showed only at such a critical moment.

She tied up her belt herself, and seeing the Qing people neatly tied up a concubine's hair for her, she suddenly asked, "Then where is the queen?"

"...Your Majesty didn't mention the Empress Dowager, but only said that the Tenth Prince and the Twelfth Prince should be taken to the side of the two Empress Dowagers."

Chunjia valued the two sons-in-law, and Yun Fenghuang had always deduced this from the clues, so she shouldn't be surprised at this moment.

But after hearing the words, she subconsciously choked up a sob.

Only when I personally accompany such an emperor through the ups and downs, and see his sincerity in the wind and rain, can I understand her mood at this moment.

does he love her

It should be love.

Otherwise, at such a time, he would not have abandoned the concubines in the palace, and even sent someone to take care of her life and death regardless of whether the queen was dead or alive.

But, how rational and precise is this love, so that it can be firmly maintained within a boundary and not go beyond the limit?

Yun Fenghuang thought of her past, when she was still the proud and unrestrained Miss Xie Shiqi under the wings of the family, naive and reckless thinking that all the good things in the world should be related to her.

Although she and Qi Jiulu were childhood sweethearts, Jiang Shi still reminded her daughter from time to time not to be confused by the love and affection when she was young, so that once Qi Jiulu changed her heart in the future, she would not be able to bear it.

What did she say then?

She said no, she drew a circle for Qi Jiulu, if she crossed it, she would simply put away her feelings, and from then on, there was only pros and cons to weigh with him, and there was no friendship.

Jiang Shi just smiled, and patted her head tolerantly.

Later, when she was two years old and understood what her mother meant, Jiang felt that she was just a child's ignorant big talk.

How can it be possible to give things like feelings and accept them?

If it's really that simple, where are there so many idiots and resentful women in the world?

Yun Fenghuang once felt that the Jiang family underestimated him, but later... Later, he found out that when he was young, he really didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

When the accident came, Qi Jiulu couldn't let it go, and neither could she.

Many years have passed, and many things have passed. Now, due to reality, temperament and time, she has finally indifferent to the past of her childhood sweetheart and become a past that she can calm down and remember.

But what about Chunjia?

How did he do it, obviously still thinking about her at this time, but still so calm, remembering to make a son-in-law?

Did he feel weak and pampered for a moment, thinking that since the imperial concubine is so in line with his wishes, he simply fulfilled her wish, the middle palace for her, and the reserve for her child?

There should be none.

Otherwise, it's such a time, the emperor personally puts on his clothes and goes to the gate of the palace to take command... Is there any time when he can reveal his true thoughts more than now?

For a moment, Yun Fenghuang felt great sadness and despair.

She thought she might not be able to play with the emperor.

Otherwise, just accept your fate, right?

From the daughter of a remote country gentry, to a much-loved imperial concubine.

According to Chunjia's behavior, even if she doesn't plan to give her a successor, and doesn't plan to make her child the crown prince, she will at least protect her as a concubine... Such an ending, in fact, is already on the way. At that time, Mrs. Xie went up and down, and she didn't even dare to think about her bright future.

And if she accepted that, Chunjia would love and consider her even more.

But such weakness is only for a moment.

After receiving the veil handed over by the Qing people and tied it behind her head, she ordered in a deep voice: "Go and take the Seventh Prince with you."

"Niang Niang?" The Qing people were startled, subconsciously wanting to decline.

After all, Chunjiati didn't even mention the Seventh Prince, who knew whether the people in Taichu Palace agreed to bring such a burden?

If the other party is unwilling, then...won't it delay the time for Yun Fenghuang to take refuge?

The most important thing is that the Seventh Prince is young and not very sensible.

If you cry while hiding, then...

"Bring the Seventh Prince." Yun Fenghuang looked at her and shouted in a low voice, "I am pregnant, and now I have a big belly, you are afraid that bringing the Seventh Prince will slow down your journey?!"

Chunjia had already given up on her four heirs.

For such a young child, to be frank, no matter how talented he is, it will take at least ten years to come in handy.

The current value depends on the parents.

On the father's side, Chunjia has already stated his position, so it can only depend on the mother clan.

King Qin’s family is not weak in name, but Yiguo Duke’s family is just like that to King Qin, they are very concerned about life, and don’t mention a word about their future; let alone Zhaoqing, whose value is not as good as King Qin’s; the Ninth Prince is also the same Pretty much the same situation.

Only the seventh prince, although he doesn't have much presence in the palace now, he has a grandfather and aunt who really care about him.

Yin Qu and Yin Nuluo were quite willing to pay for him.

Throwing people away at this moment, even if Yin Qu's father and daughter knew that Yun Fenghuang didn't do it on purpose and was in trouble, it would be hard not to feel resentful, and they would basically break up. But if Yun Fenghuang had saved the Seventh Prince, not to mention that the Yin family would be sent by her in the future, at least the relationship would be greatly improved.

Chunjia's attitude is so obvious at this time, the support of powerful ministers is only more important.

Yun Fenghuang's attitude was firm, and the Qing people had no choice but to spread the word.

"And ask Zhu E to stay." Yun Fenghuang ordered again quickly, "When we leave, take King Qin and Zhaoqing to a secluded place... If they ask Ben Gong and the Seventh Prince, just say Bengong's body is heavy now, and he is afraid of dragging them down, so he dare not be with them."

After all, I don't know how serious the situation is, and as Chun Jiaming's most beloved child, and the eldest son and eldest daughter, Qin Wang and Zhaoqing are supposed to have a certain weight in the eyes of people inside and outside.

In this way, even if the harem falls, the two children may not necessarily die. The three mothers and sons may not have a chance to meet each other in the future.

That being the case, it's better to keep it handy.

As the emperor, Chunjia would naturally not be afraid of the resentment and alienation of the two children.

Anyway, all his children currently have the need to please him and please him. If King Qin and Zhao Qing were separated from him because of this incident, how many people in the palace would be happy.

But for Yun Fenghuang, the pair of children have been raised for so long, and it's not worth it if they leave and become grudges.

No matter what, you have to give a perfunctory reason.

Then he pointed to Zhu E, who was still smart and not outstanding in appearance: "Let Zhu E protect it as much as possible, if it is really impossible... If there is no fate, then there is no fate."

The emperor doesn't care about the child, and she can't invest too much.

At this time, it was still dark, and due to the obstruction of the Taiye Pond, the sound of fighting from the previous dynasty could only be faintly heard, and the people who were sound asleep were still in their dreams and knew nothing about it.

Some light sleepers woke up with a start, but they didn't know what happened, so they just subconsciously opened the windows and looked around.

Yun Fenghuang, who was dressed as a palace official, was wearing a cloak with dark pigment patterns, and Chen Zhu, who was hugging the Seventh Prince at his side, hurried out of the Xuanqing Palace surrounded by several servants.

The imperial attendant at the gate of the palace was already waiting impatiently. He glanced at the Seventh Prince who was also wrapped in a cloak, and he had no time to say more, so he hurriedly explained: "Go from here to there, there is a small pier in the grove, please Board the boat and go to Little Penglai... There will naturally be someone to meet you when you get there."

Yun Fenghuang was a little surprised. The Taiye Pool separated the front and rear palaces. Although it seemed vast, once the palace city fell, it would be difficult to fly.

Would it be too risky to take refuge on one of the isolated islands?

Or is the emperor sure that Miyagi will not fall into the hands of thieves?

She turned her mind around and didn't say anything, after all, not to mention Chunjia's intentions, his city is still guaranteed.

After a long while, I arrived on the island in the dark, and was welcomed into a room. Inside, Empress Dowager Yuan and Queen Mother Qu were already there, and the children raised under their knees were not there, only a few attendants.

Seeing that Yun Fenghuang brought the Seventh Prince over, Empress Dowager Qu was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything, and even stretched out her hand to tuck the cloak for the Seventh Prince. Empress Dowager Yuan's complexion sank, she took a deep look at her, and then asked the Imperial Palace: "Where are the tenth prince and the twelve prince?"

"If you go back to the empress dowager, you are already on the boat and you can come later." The palace man paused, "When the servants went to pick up the two princes, something went wrong, but fortunately, it has been resolved."

He didn't say this incident clearly, but he could guess it.

Think about it from the standpoint of the queen, the gate of the palace has changed, the emperor stepped forward to defend against the enemy, and sent people to the back to transfer important people in case of accidents, it is reasonable for the two empress dowagers and the first-born prince to be taken away But the imperial concubine left, but the queen was left behind... This?

If it was Yun Fenghuang, she would make trouble too, no, it should be said, she would make trouble even more.

They even simply refused to let the tenth prince and the twelve princes go away, they would die together, and if the emperor had the ability to make a new one, he would make a son-in-law.

"..." The two empress dowagers frowned and did not speak.

Their relationship with the queen is average, but they can't say anything to blame the queen for disregarding the overall situation at this time.

Who is the concubine here?

In any case, abandoning the queen to protect the noble concubine will be criticized by others.

Wives and concubines are different.

A moment later, the two direct princes also arrived. They were young and still drowsy. Seeing this, Queen Mother Yuan immediately asked someone to hug them to her.

Because Xiao Penglai is a small place and the house is not big, when passing by Yun Fenghuang, the queen mother specifically hinted that the palace people should go around a bit, as if she was afraid that Yun Fenghuang would be unfavorable to the little brother.

The corner of Yun Fenghuang's mouth twitched, he didn't say anything, he just turned his head to look at the Seventh Prince.

The next two hours were very tormenting, because Little Penglai was between the front court and the harem, which was closer to the palace gate than the harem, even with the doors and windows closed, the sound of killing was very obvious.

The three children were still sleeping at first, but they were gradually awakened later. The Seventh Prince struggled from Chen Jing's arms and fell to the ground. He walked up to Yun Fenghuang, grabbed her skirt timidly, and called out in a low voice: "Mother! concubine."

"My concubine is here, don't be afraid." Yun Fenghuang is now too heavy to hold him, so he just stretched out his hand to stroke the top of his hair, and said softly, "Is it a bit noisy? It's nothing. You'll be fine when you wake up."

The seventh prince is ignorant, he still trusts his elders at this age, especially Yun Fenghuang has been by his side for more than half a year, and the relationship between mother and child is very good, so he believed it, leaning on his mother and concubine, and fell asleep again in a daze past.

But it was different for the tenth prince and the twelve princes. The queen mother they were familiar with was not in front of them, and those who were present, whether it was the two empress dowagers or Yun Fenghuang, had no contact with them.

Even Yun Fenghuang was the harsh and vicious person they often heard palace people talking about. At first she was nervous, then afraid, and then...crying.

The two empress dowagers were worried about Chunjia's safety, and it was very annoying to hear it. Empress Dowager Qu even spoke softly to comfort her, but Empress Dowager Yuan became irritable, and scolded angrily: "Why are you crying! The dignified prince, it's just that little Promise?! Shut up for Aijia!"

In fact, Yun Fenghuang also disliked the noise of these two princes, after all, he was not raised by him, so crying at such a time really made people feel irritable.

But since the queen mother opened her mouth, she didn't say anything, but hugged the seventh prince tightly.

After the two princes were reprimanded, they timidly stopped talking, but as the movement outside increased, especially the gate of the palace seemed to be set on fire, looking south in the night, half of the sky was reflected in a tragic scene. crimson orange.

Adults can't help but be terrified when they see this, how can the children bear it? The twelfth prince was the youngest, and with a "wow", he tugged at the sleeve of the tenth prince and burst into tears!
