Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 184: Jiang Lan

The boat capsized?

Yun Fenghuang raised her eyebrows, she guessed that the Empress Dowager Yuan and her party would not come back for a long time, maybe something happened, she thought she had met the remnants of the rebel army, but she didn't expect the ship to capsize?

Immediately regretted: Why didn't I think of it before?

If I had known that in the past midnight, I would just find a chance to avoid the eyes and ears of the two queen mothers, and do something to the only ship, when the time comes...

Well, it may not be possible to hide it from Chunjia's eyes and ears.

Anyway, the boat capsized, the two queen mothers and the twelve princes fell into the water, but I don't know what happened to the drowning, and whether they can be rescued or not?

Of course Yun Fenghuang hoped not to be rescued.

But there was an expression of shock on his face: "But I don't know how the boat capsized? Is there too many people? Or the palace man who rowed the boat lost his hand? I see that there is no storm on the lake today?"

The waiter said in a low voice: "It seems to be because of people, what is the specific, the slaves did not serve by the lake before, and they have never witnessed it with their own eyes, but they dare not speak nonsense."

"Thank you." Yun Fenghuang reckoned that the inside story was disgraceful, so he didn't ask any more questions, and ordered someone to go in and carry the two princes out, and told them not to move around after boarding the ship, and then walked onto the deck together.

Because of the lessons learned by the Empress Dowager Yuan and the others, this time not only the master and servant Yun Fenghuang, but also the waiters who came to pick them up and the palace people who rowed the boat were also very cautious, but they are fine in this business, and the wife is peacefully at the small pier not far from the Taichu Palace. ashore.

After going ashore, I saw that there were a lot more guards patrolling around than usual, all of them were expressionless and murderous, and the atmosphere was very tense.

Seeing this, the two children couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

It was Yun Fenghuang who went up to say a few words of comfort before letting the palace servants hug her and enter the Taichu Palace together.

The Taichu Palace was also heavily guarded, with three steps, one post and five steps, one sentry. There were many people, but needles could be heard quietly.

Although the palace people who occasionally passed by were in a hurry, they were silent and did not dare to breathe.

Yun Fenghuang and his party were led to a side hall with extraordinarily guarded guards. Before entering, they could already smell the smell of freshly boiled medicine.

She brewed her emotions a little before stepping in with her two children.

Walking around the 20-fold mica-inlaid lady's spring tour on the glass screen, I saw Chunjia with a gloomy face, sitting alone in the small reception hall outside, not far away from the Louhuayue cave door with a bead curtain, blocking the view, so I couldn't see clearly. In the middle of the situation, it seems that there are only a few people serving inside.

"Is Your Majesty okay?" Yun Fenghuang stepped forward and asked with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty's face...?"

Chunjia had already removed her armor at this time, and after taking a bath, she changed into normal clothes, restraining the evil spirit from killing the enemy at night. Although she looked unhappy, if not for the scratch on the side of her cheek, she would have looked the same as before many years ago. A very ordinary night... Even if there are some disturbances, it's not a big deal.

"Send the two children back to the harem first." Seeing the imperial concubine bringing the seventh and tenth princes in, the emperor's eyes flickered, and he said gently, "I'm fine."

The tenth prince didn't know him well, and he wished he could go back to see Empress Gu soon, and even smiled when he heard this.

Although the Seventh Prince is not as used to quarreling with the emperor as Qin Wang and Zhaoqing, the status and closeness of the father and emperor in their hearts is not lower than that of the mother and concubine who get along day and night, but there is no barrier. Hearing this, he is a bit disappointed.

After all, his father, queen and concubine are all there, so he doesn't really want to leave.

Yun Fenghuang coaxed him in a low voice for a while, and the Seventh Prince was led away while turning his head.

She looked at Chunjia frequently, as if she wanted him to hug her.

However, Chunjia turned a blind eye to him, and didn't even pay much attention to him, but looked at the tenth prince thoughtfully.

Yun Fenghuang noticed it, and was furious. Although she didn't know if the twelve princes were bad, Chunjia valued the tenth prince very much... But, with her sharp and strong temperament, the prince who was carefully raised by her knees , even if it's not his own, it won't work if he is compared to the Tenth Prince in front of him!

She walked up to the emperor, quietly blocked his gaze from looking at the back of the tenth prince, and said with a choked voice, "What's going on? I heard that when the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes came back... ?”

"The Secretary of the Imperial City is investigating, so you don't have to worry, Ah Huang." Chunjia withdrew her gaze, looked at the imperial concubine, and pointed to the embroidered stool beside her for her to sit on. Something went wrong when we got to the pier. Both mothers and Twelve drowned. Fortunately, they were just overly frightened, and nothing serious...now they are resting inside."

Is it an accident?

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, although the Taiye Pond is vast, it can accommodate many boats. But after all, it is an important palace, except for the empress dowager, empress dowager, emperor, empress, ordinary concubines and heirs, if they are not favored enough, they dare not easily propose to visit.

Therefore, the oarsmen in the palace are all familiar with the oars for many years before they can take office.

In this case, even if you are surprised by the palace change, as for capsizing the boat?

It's not a stormy weather!

She is not very convinced.

Mostly there is an inside story in it.

But who did this?

Last night, the palace was so sudden that there was no defense at all.

Who was able to tamper with the boats of two empress dowagers and a direct prince in the middle of the night, or...someone knew about the palace change early in the morning, and even knew that the emperor would bring people who valued him to the island, so he did it in advance ?

"It's good that the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes are fine." Yun Fenghuang's thoughts turned, and he said softly, "This half night is simply longer than half my life! I regret this It's time to get pregnant, otherwise, I can accompany His Majesty to fight the enemy!"

Chunjia couldn't help laughing: "As long as Ah Huang has a heart, I don't need you, a weak girl, to stand in front of me."

Judging by his expression, the situation of the three people on board should not be serious. Yun Fenghuang accompanied him to talk about the situation for a while, felt sorry for the scratches on the emperor's face, and finally proposed to go in to have a look.

The emperor agreed casually, so she got up and went in, and found that there were three beds listed inside, two of which were temporarily moved from other places. Empress Dowager Yuan, Empress Dowager Qu and the Twelve Princes are still in a coma, and the servants are curled up at the side, staring intently, not saying a word, even saluting silently.

After Yun Fenghuang waved his hand to avoid courtesy, he went to the bed one by one to look at them, and sighed softly.

Is this really an accident? So these people drowned when they were approaching the pier of Taichu Palace, so they were rescued in time, so it's not a big problem?

How lucky would you be if you were killed by someone?

Or were the people behind the scenes so stupid that they gave them a chance to survive?

She was a little suspicious of Gu Zhen...

Was he afraid that the Twelve Princes were also on board? So when I chose to go ashore soon, I bet that the two queen mothers would be old enough that the twelve princes could be rescued, but in the end, all three of them were safe?

The idiot!

Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart, he couldn't see Chunjia's mind clearly, it was just as well that he was worried about the two direct princes and his heir.

Murdering the empress dowager is something like murdering the empress dowager, and you have to do it all the time, and you have to be afraid of this and that, it is no different from courting death!

Of course, if you think about it carefully, it might not necessarily be Gu Zhen.

The main reason is that Gu Zhen's reaction may not be so fast...

Who is that?

Queen Mother Qu herself?

Because I was on the boat, I was afraid that the fakes would become real, and they would disappear together, but the result was too light, so that the success was on the verge of failure?

Yun Fenghuang thought one after another in his mind, he couldn't be disappointed, what a great opportunity, what a great condition, he could only blame himself for being young, not having experienced enough things, and also being pregnant and lacking in energy, why didn't he think of it Take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire?

She beat her chest and regretted secretly, but when she went out, she looked terrified in front of Chunjia: "Your Majesty, I was on the island before, and after watching the two empress dowagers leave with the twelve princes, there was no reply for a long time, really. I was so scared, I only said that it was His Majesty... His Majesty was delayed by something, I didn't expect... I knew it would be better for the twelve princes, the seven princes and the ten princes to stay on the island together, and the concubine accompanied the two The empress dowagers are on board together! With my concubine's water nature, even if she is pregnant, she will surely be able to save the two empress dowagers when the boat capsizes."

The imperial concubine's water nature believed it, but if the imperial concubine was also on the boat, Chunjia really didn't dare to bet on whether she would save people, especially the Empress Dowager Yuan.

Therefore, hearing the words, she just smiled a little tiredly, and said: "I will stay here... Ah Huang also go to rest for a while. You are still pregnant, so you can't help being tired."

In fact, Yun Fenghuang was really tired, but after hearing this, he still cared about the emperor for a while, and then reluctantly left.

On the way back to Xuanqing Palace from the previous dynasty, the atmosphere was very different.

After entering the Huanhua Palace, the remaining palace servants all heaved a sigh of relief, and rushed up to pay respects.

Yun Fenghuang didn't care about being tired, so he asked Qin Wang Zhaoqing, and learned that the two children had been put on the dresses of the servants and maids and led them out to hide. Later, they received the news that the rebels had already been executed, so they brought them back again: "The two children The First Highness and the Ninth Princes are all safe and sound, and now they have slept again. Madam, do you want the three Highnesses to come over and say hello?"

"No need." Yun Fenghuang shook his head, "Let them rest...Is there anything else? If not, I will also rest for a while."

Hearing this, all the waiters hurriedly said that there was no more.

So the imperial concubine came in and settled down.

She slept until night and didn't wake up. After getting up, she washed up, had some meals, and then asked what happened during the past day?

"The origin of the rebel army has already been revealed. It is said that the bandits who were exterminated in the northern border hated the imperial court. Taking advantage of the new defeat of the Dingbei army, many noble sons of high families were separated from the army, took advantage of the fire, killed several children, and pretended to be identities. ..." the Qing people whispered, "At first, some people suspected that Uncle Zhao Wu had something to do with it, but His Majesty personally denied it. Now it is the Gu family who is responsible for tracing the ins and outs and thoroughly investigating the remaining party. In addition, the Hussar General and his family eliminated His Royal Highness Yun'an's son-in-law Besides, they were all sent to prison."

"The current Hussar General is..."

The Qing people paused, and then said, "It's Jiang Lan. Do you still remember him?"

Remember, how could you not remember?

At the beginning, the emperor was sent to the bitter cold north, although the emperor deliberately contributed to the situation, it was Yun Fenghuang's suggestion to the former empress at the beginning.

Over the past few years, when people in the imperial capital mentioned the emperor's close servant, they only thought of Yan Yin. If Zheng Gu hadn't been replaced suddenly now, Yun Fenghuang wouldn't even remember such a festival.

I don't know after this person took office...

Alas, forget it, anyway, she is a favorite concubine for a day, and the emperor's servants can't do anything about her.

The noble concubine thought to herself, if the emperor despised her one day, it would be useless for Jiang Lanyan to invite the two former imperial servants to join hands to say good things to her.

That being the case, don't think too much about it.

Even if this news is not good for her, it is nothing if there is bad news about two queen mothers drowning but nothing serious.

Yun Fenghuang calmed down, and said lightly: "Bandits? This must be nonsense. If they are just ordinary bandits, even if they kill a few high-ranking children and pretend to be identities, they can cheat all the way from the North to the Imperial Capital? Really think that the officials along the way are stupid What!"

No matter how easy it is for Takako Gao to pretend, not to mention the temperament of conversation that has been pampered for many years, it is not something that a mere reckless person can pretend to be.

Let’s just say that there are many officials along the way with good backgrounds, even if they pretend to be the kind of children who rarely go out to show their faces, just talk a little about the situation of their parents, and they will be exposed... After the rebels arrived in the imperial capital, even Zheng Gu It is impossible to say that there is no real senior help behind it.

Absolutely impossible.

This made Yun Fenghuang feel dignified. If it's just bandits or aliens, it's fine. With the current situation in the world, she believes that the emperor can hold on.

The problem is, Gaomen...

Gaomen is not stupid, now that the Ji family is destroyed and the regent is dead, Chunjia's position can only be more stable.

Families like the Luo family, Meng family, Yin family, and Ouyang family who were still reserved before did not want to try their best to get closer to the emperor. Now, who is doing the opposite and actually advocating the palace change?

The point is, even if these rebels make some noise, as long as they are not stupid, they should understand that it is impossible to really change the day with such a small number of people.

Even if you don't meet a young and courageous emperor like Chun Jia, who dares to go to the front line to sit in front of the emperor himself, the timid one is persuaded by the servants to flee alone to the Forbidden Army's camp.

So what are these rebels... exactly planning?

Isn't it just to scare the front and rear palaces?

"There is also a possibility that the emperor already knows the inside story, but it is not easy to publicize the inside story, so he just pulls a scapegoat to cover the vat." Chunjia has done a lot of this kind of thing, and the rebels came all the way from the north It should be true. After all, lies, half-truths and half-false are more convincing.

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, "If that's the case, why not write a letter to the family and ask them to inquire about... eh? Let the family take precautions, so as not to be dragged into trouble."

She still remembered that because Uncle Zhaowu personally led a large number of Dingbei troops to the north to help Xifa, Qi Jiulu, who stayed behind, once made a public appearance for the bandits in the Northland.

Now, regardless of whether the rebels are bandits or not, we must always guard against someone repeating the old story and setting the fire on Xie Shi.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone from the palace outside came in to report, with a panicked look on his face: "Your Majesty, something has happened! Just now Mr. and Mrs. Xingningbo came to the palace to have an audience. He suspected that we murdered the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes!"
