Chapter 188: The Real Ultimate Move
"Zhu E disappeared?" In the Huanhua Hall, Yun Fenghuang was not surprised by this result, but asked indifferently, "When did you disappear?"
"...In the middle of the night yesterday, the empress asked her to stay and take care of His Royal Highnesses King Qin and Zhaoqing. She found Nian Xuan and took the two Highnesses out to a secluded place." The Qing said cautiously, "Then she disappeared as she walked. Nian Xuan didn't know what to do, so she hid the two Highnesses, and when she went to look for her near the place where she disappeared, she couldn't find her. Nian Xuan was worried about His Highness again. For our safety, we have no choice but to go back and protect the two Highnesses."
She also said, "This morning Nianxuan also returned with her two highnesses. Later, the empress turned back from the previous court and looked very tired, so the people below didn't bother with this matter."
Seeing Yun Fenghuang's complexion was not good, Qing people's voice became more cautious, "This is because the servant girl has not trained them well, please punish her."
This is indeed her fault, with Yun Fenghuang's shrewdness, if he only came back from Taichu Palace and found out about it, he must be suspicious.
But this can't be entirely blamed on the Qing people. One is that Yun Fenghuang is pregnant, and it is easy to get pregnant after several years of recuperation. In this case, it has been tossing for most of the night. Afraid that she would hurt her pregnancy if she worked too hard? The second is that it was said at the time that at most Yun Fenghuang could have a psychological preparation... It was a few hours late, and with Queen Mother Yuan's methods, it would definitely be too late to resolve this catastrophe.
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang didn't bother to say clearly, he just said: "Remember this time, don't make decisions like this again next time!"
At the end, he murmured, "Morrow Xing Ning Bo will definitely impeach me in the court hall...the empress... There should be no problem with the empress, besides, Ouyang's family, Yin Qu's...have you reminded me?"
The Qing people hurriedly said: "Just now we sent people over, and both families promised to speak for the empress. Yin Qu also promised that he would do his best!"
Sure enough, it was right to bring the Seventh Prince along yesterday.
Yun Fenghuang nodded, not feeling grateful in his heart, after all, the two families didn't help for nothing, everyone just got what they needed.
She deliberated over the various situations, and when she saw that it was too late, she stopped talking and ordered to arrange it.
Tomorrow, it won't be easy!
The next morning, as expected, Yun Fenghuang got up and finished dressing, and Chen Jing sent news from the previous court that Uncle Xingning really brought up the impeachment of the noble concubine, saying that Yun Fenghuang used the palace change to instigate Zhu E to murder the two concubines. The empress dowager and the twelve princes!
And Yin Qu also promised to come forward to refute.
The two sides fought each other, Xing Ningbo was presenting pieces of evidence, such as witnesses who saw Zhu E sneaking towards the small apricot grove in front of Qibao Palace, footprints in the apricot grove, and Taiye Pond. The corner of the clothes that was scratched in the middle, and the witness of a certain palace official when the boat capsized, etc... Chen Jing saw sweat on the forehead: "Madam, I don't know how Yuan did it. Uncle Xingning has a lot of evidence. Now the courtiers are more and more convinced. Lord Yin is alone! Then Ouyang Yanran promised well last night, but just kept silent. Between slaves and maidservants, this person may not be counted on!"
The Qing people and other attendants all changed their faces when they heard this, showing anxiety.
Yun Fenghuang felt that it was expected, since the Queen Mother Yuan dared to let the Yuan family go to the temple, how could she not be sure? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
She said lightly: "Why are you panicking? I am pregnant now. For the sake of the emperor's heir, even if I was beaten to death for the crime of murdering the empress dowager and the first prince, how can I kill me immediately?"
Empress Dowager Yuan seized her during her pregnancy and attacked her, probably because she saw that she is now a month old and lacks energy, it is difficult to think carefully, and she cannot respond in a timely manner as usual.
But in everything there is a disadvantage, there must be an advantage. Pregnancy is not only a burden for Yun Fenghuang, but also a guarantee.
After all, as long as Chunjia doesn't speak, even Queen Mother Yuan can't say that now that the emperor has many heirs, she doesn't care about the concubine's birth, so let the concubine be pregnant and go on the road.
In this way, even if he was beaten to death for a serious crime, Yun Fenghuang still has the time before giving birth to turn around.
Thinking of this, she sneered: "Chen Jing, go ahead and listen... I want to see what Uncle Xing Ning can do!"
Xingningbo really does exist!
In addition to impeaching the noble concubine for murdering the two empress dowagers and the twelve princes, he also brought out the death of the four princes!
The reason is that everyone knows that the noble concubine was able to enter the palace to serve the emperor through Duke Yi and the late Concubine Zhenxishu, and the noble concubine kept saying that she remembered the kindness of Yun's father and daughter. Very caring.
But if the imperial concubine really took care of Yun Jieyu, how could it happen that the fourth prince could only send an imperial doctor to treat him after he got sick, and eventually he became intestinal abscess and couldn't afford it?
It can be seen that Yun Fenghuang's appearance is different, but in fact, he doesn't care about Yun Jieyu at all!
It was even rumored in the palace ban that the imperial concubine cared a lot about Yun Jieyu, but since this caring was not used to protect the fourth prince, where was it used?
Maybe it was used to urge the fourth prince to die?
"This Uncle Xingning is simply crazy!" Qing was furious, "What does the death of the fourth prince have to do with our empress?! That is the matter of Duke Yi himself!"
Yun Fenghuang's eyes flickered, no one actually took action on the death of the fourth prince, or at least she didn't find any clues.
But Yun Qingman complained about Duke Yi's mansion, and intentionally brought this matter to Mrs. Yi Guo... Yun Fenghuang helped her, and took advantage of the situation to clear herself from the matter of Zhaoqing's lameness.
So Chunjia has until now believed that the death of the Fourth Prince had something to do with Mrs. Yi Guogong...
It's just that because Yi Guogong has always been loyal to the country, the emperor pressed down the news and didn't let it go out.
After all, Mrs. Guo stretched her hand into the forbidden palace. Although it was outrageous, if it was spread out, it would appear that the palace was very unruly.
This inside story is not known to the outside world, so will the Empress Dowager Yuan not know?
Now that the Xingningbo Mansion is making a fuss about the shipwreck, it can't be said that it has some relevant evidence and wants to take advantage of the situation to clarify the truth about Yun Jieyu's mother and son to Chunjia.
There is nothing else about the other truths, because Yun Fenghuang did not attack the fourth prince.
The point is, Zhaoqing's lame leg.
At that time, Yun Fenghuang felt that Chunjia loved Zhaoqing very much. The first time the child was injured was because he skipped class through the window. , that is, Yun Fenghuang is used to striving for strength, in order to let King Qin and Zhaoqing be the champion after entering school, the discipline is extremely strict. The second time she was injured, it was because Yun Fenghuang was too conniving, knowing that Zhaoqing's leg injury hadn't healed yet, but still allowed her to run wild, which made things worse and became disabled.
...In fact, with such a result, if Yun Fenghuang was his own mother, holding the child and crying loudly, blaming himself, it would be over.
But because it wasn't her own, she suspected that Zhaoqing wasn't caring enough.
In order not to be blamed by Chunjia, but also to be blamed by this daughter in the future after working so hard to raise Zhaoqing, she used Yun Jieyu as a shield.
At that time, Yun Qingman didn't want to live anymore, and she felt guilty for plotting her into the palace back then, so she just admitted it...
Now that she is gone, Queen Mother Yuan has to find out again. What evidence and confidence does she have?
Through this palace change, Yunfenghuang already understood that Chunjia's love for King Qin and Zhaoqing was not as strong as everyone imagined.
No, it should be said that he dotes on these two children very much, but he is too sensible.
Normally, King Qin and Zhaoqing were more stubborn and lively, but Chunjia was very tolerant, so tolerant that he could be called a loving father.
At the critical juncture, the emperor did not hesitate to abandon them... At this time, he is the emperor.
If he had known this earlier, Yun Fenghuang might not have blamed him at the beginning, and he might have confessed to the emperor that he hadn't thought carefully.
But now, the crux of the issue is not whether Zhaoqing's lame leg is related to Yun Jieyu, but the concubine's concealment and scapegoating. How can it not disappoint the emperor?
The emperor is so shrewd, after being disappointed, how could he not have thought of Yun Fenghuang's many words and deeds in the past, and those deliberate misleading and cover-ups she intentionally did?
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, she understood what the Empress Dowager Yuan was thinking, it was just that the ship was overturned, not to mention that Chunjia didn't believe it at all, even if she believed it, it was impossible for Yun Fenghuang to be executed for the emperor's favor and pregnancy she.
In this way, even if Yun Fenghuang is deprived of all glory and thrown into the cold palace, Chunjia thought in her heart that the cold palace... the one who is left out in the cold is the cold palace.
In this way, from the standpoint of the queen mother, it is a temporary solution rather than a permanent cure.
Therefore, the overturning of the boat and the murder of the two empress dowagers and the prince by the imperial concubine are not so much an accusation as an introduction.
Attract the attention of the whole temple.
The queen mother's real killing move is Zhaoqing's disability.
Once the truth of this matter is proven, Yun Fenghuang may not fall out of favor immediately, but Chunjia's trust in her will definitely be shaken.
On the surface, Zhaoqing's disability is at most due to the imperial concubine's lack of care.
If traceable to the source...
It all started when Yun Fenghuang first entered the palace and had a heart-to-heart relationship with Chunjia. Over the years, she repeatedly emphasized to the emperor, crying and desolate, telling her regret and grief for destroying the fate of her children for the concubine, It is not only to whitewash her ruthless determination at the time, but also to emphasize the regret of not having her own flesh and blood, so as to win the emperor's sympathy.
Chunjia believed it, and indeed felt sorry for her.
For this reason, Xie Meng and the others were raised in the palace...
Yun Fenghuang kept this personality setting in mind, and between King Qin and Zhaoqing, intentionally or unintentionally favored Zhaoqing, in order to show that he would use his niece and heir to make up for the lack of biological flesh and blood.
When Zhaoqing was injured twice, she acted seriously, looking for life and death, wishing she could replace her with her own body, too regretful... Chunjia comforted her a lot because of this, if the emperor knew, these were noble concubines In fact, Yun Fenghuang didn't care about his own flesh and blood at all, let alone any heirs under his knees, he only cared about his own future, wealth, and power, what?
No matter how much Chunjia dotes on the imperial concubine, how can she not be disappointed?
The emperor's favorite is the basis for noble concubines to gain a foothold in the harem, and even compete with the loving mother, the empress dowager.
Without the emperor's favor, even if she still has the status of imperial concubine, even if she gives birth to a prince, her future in this life is almost the same.
In the future, we can only retreat but not advance.
At least for now, Yunfenghuang cannot lose Chunjia's trust and favor!
"...What a loving mother empress dowager." Yun Fenghuang thought about this verse, let out a breath slowly, and said softly, "Murderer, empress dowager, you are worthy of being the empress dowager!"
If she hadn't saved her hand back then, she might have died this time!
Sure enough, once entering the palace gate is as deep as the sea, none of those who can preside over the first palace is a good thing!
She turned to Chen Zhu: "Go and urge Gu Shao, let her find a way to persuade the queen to reveal the matter of Concubine Yuan Xian immediately, no further delay!"
Although the Empress Dowager Yuan has yet to see her, the rhythm has always been in the hands of the enemy, which is not a good thing for Yun Fenghuang!
It's easy to fish in muddy water, isn't it?
In fact, at this moment, the empress is also deliberating: "Uncle Xingning really impeached the noble concubine for murdering the two empress dowagers and Twelve! He even brought out the mother and son of the fourth prince... Yun Jieyu..."
Gu Zhen thought of the suicide note back then, and frowned slightly, "The imperial concubine is not a good person, she originally had a grudge with the Duke of Yi, but now that Yun Jieyu and the fourth prince have been involved, how can they let the Duke of Yi go?" ? So, keeping that letter...is it still useful?"
If Duke Yi's government falls during this turmoil... although this possibility is not very big.
After all, judging from the emperor's protection of the Gu family this time, the emperor will not let his important ministers be wronged at critical moments.
But the imperial concubine has a treacherous mind, and the emperor may protect Duke Yi and his son, but may not take care of Mrs. Yi...
In this way, Yun Jieyu's suicide note is not used at this time, but not in the future, so there is no chance?
The queen thought about this, made up her mind, and called her servants: "Go to the Xuanqing Palace alone, and pass a few words to the noble concubine on my behalf!"
