Chapter 190 Chaos Battle (Part 2)

"The Queen murdered the King of Chu?" Yun Fenghuang listened to Chen Jing's report in the Huanhua Hall, and smiled, "This move is really interesting..."

If Chunjia still has any feelings for Gu Zhen, it is probably the king of Chu.

Because if it wasn't for the king of Chu's accident, the emperor sincerely wanted the prince to take the position of the East Palace.

After all, this prince's biological mother was from a humble background, and she became cold within a few days after giving birth, which not only reassured Gu, but also satisfied Chunjia.

Before he fell ill, the King of Chu was also extremely intelligent... In short, he met Chunjia's requirements very well.

If the prince hadn't been abolished, be it the empress or the Gu family, these two years would not have been such a torment and entanglement. Not to mention being suspicious of Chunjia, he couldn't trust him no matter what.

After all, Gu Zhen has a clear goal since she ascended to the post. She does not compete for favor or the emperor's heart. She can even share the queen's power with Yun Fenghuang and Concubine Shu. She only cares about the East Palace and Qingci Palace attribution.

So when the king of Chu had an accident, Gu Zhen had no legitimate son for a long time, which made her completely lost.

Even if there were tenth and twelveth princes later, the age gap between these two children and the eldest son King Qin, as well as King Chu's mistakes, all put a lot of pressure on the Queen.

She was worried that the older princes such as King Qin would put pressure on the tenth and twelfth princes, and she was also worried that these two children would be like King Chu. Because of their status as legitimate sons, they would attract poisonous hands, making years of nurturing and cultivation fall short.

If the king of Chu is doing well, Gu Zhen...what is he afraid of?

King Chu and King Qin were born in the same year, only a few months apart!

After the prince's accident, Gu Zhen almost collapsed.

Although she still resents Chunjia until now, thinking that he did not try his best to find out the truth and avenge the king of Chu, and because she suspected that Chunjia did this to protect the culprit on purpose, she was led by Yun Fenghuang to suspect that Queen Mother Yuan was the real culprit. But Yun Fenghuang knew in his heart that although the Queen Mother Yuan might not have attacked the King of Chu, Chunjia felt somewhat guilty towards the Queen and the King of Chu in this matter.

The empress Gu Zhen is different from Ji Lingzi in the post-Yuan period. She was registered by Chunjia herself.

Although there is Yun Fenghuang's recommendation here, in the final analysis, it is because she meets the emperor's requirements.

The emperor knew Gu Zhen very well, and knew that this concubine, who had been Mrs. Yaoning for more than ten years, was actually not capable enough to take on the important task of the Six Palaces. But what he wants is this kind of noble girl with insufficient ability to be the queen, so as to prevent the situation where the queen mother will take the regent in the future and make the relatives sit big.

Under such circumstances, he shouldn't expect Gu Zhen to protect the King of Chu by himself.

If Gu Zhen had this ability, neither Yun Feng Huang nor Chun Jia would let her take the back seat.

Although Yun Fenghuang thinks that the King of Chu should be the one who was not blessed to be a prince and set the example of Jingui's children being difficult to raise, Chunjia was touched by all the tragedies after the empress.

Therefore, Queen Mother Yuan chose this matter to start with.

"Your Majesty, this seems unlikely. The Empress has always taken good care of His Highness the King of Chu." Chi E said in a low voice, "She shouldn't be able to kill His Highness the King of Chu... Besides, the three sisters, Concubine Mu Since entering the palace, she did not immediately bear children for His Majesty. If the Ping family hadn't given birth to the tenth prince, the Empress would have gone crazy!"

"Of course it's impossible." Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "The empress has always regarded this palace as a serious problem. After she has the tenth prince and the twelve princes under her knees, she is still restless. She is afraid that the king of Qin will be younger than the tenth prince and the others. I am a few years older, and I am worried that after the two princes grow up, the concubine brothers will be full-fledged and become a stumbling block to the East Palace! But the attack by the loving mother, the empress dowager, also makes sense: who told the king of Chu to have an accident, the queen, no, It should be said that Gu's stuffed three Gu's daughters into the harem in one go? So it's not unreasonable to say that the queen and Gu's don't want the king of Chu, but only want the prince with Gu's blood."

"So even if the Queen has been very kind to the King of Chu so far, she cannot be cleared of suspicion."

"After all, the reason for being kind to the King of Chu before was to get rid of the crime after the poisonous hand; afterward, it can also be a sign of guilt, right?"

"Besides, the Empress Dowager Guan knew that she was targeting me. This person didn't do it for nothing. Since the people from the Chongchang Palace turned their backs and exposed it, they had to provide some evidence!"

"The empress is not my palace, I'm afraid she may not be able to hold her breath."

"When the time comes to make a scene in public, in case you say something that shouldn't be said...hehe."

There was a sneer on the corner of her mouth, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. If this was normal, she would be happy to see both the queen and the queen mother suffer.

But now...

The queen really can't collapse for the time being.

Thinking of this, Chen Jing asked: "Go and prepare for what you said before. Later, if the queen goes to the former court, pay attention, and if the situation is difficult, come and tell me!"

He said with a long sigh, stroked his protruding belly, and said to himself, "What's the fate of this child? He hasn't even landed yet, yet he has so many disasters!"

"Your Majesty, this may be a good omen." The left and right comforted quickly, "Before the emperor's heir landed, he experienced ups and downs. After he landed, it may be smooth sailing. His life is flat and rich!"

Yun Fenghuang laughed, and said to the left and right: "Stop talking about this, just go forward and look at it."

After a pause, "The Seventh Prince must be taken care of, don't forget, Yin Qu is doing his best today, for what?"

"Your servant obeys!" The servant hurriedly responded, and then said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing just wanted to come over to pay their respects..."

"Let them rest on their own." Yun Fenghuang shook his head before finishing listening, and said calmly, "I'm very busy here, so I don't have time to see them for now. Let them be more obedient and stop messing around."

As for whether the two imperial heirs who have always been pampered will be sad and angry because of this, she is too lazy to care about it now, and has no time to care about it.

Anyway, these two children are the same in Chunjia's eyes, what is she afraid of?

The most valuable person in front of her now is the Seventh Prince.

The Xuanqing Palace is temporarily stable because of the main position. In the Chongchang Palace, the queen listened to the palace man's words, stunned for a moment, and vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot!

"Your Majesty!" The left and right were shocked, and hurried forward to help.

"...Yuan's humble maid!!!" At first, Gu Zhen didn't realize what it meant to be accused by the deputy chief of Chongchang Palace of murdering the king of Chu, because this accusation was simply unbelievable to her!

Then, I just felt that the blood in my whole body poured into my brain!

She couldn't care about anything else, she stood up screaming, and asked someone to fetch her bow and arrow, "Yuan Shi's lowly servant girl! Yuan Shi's old lowly maidservant!!! My palace is incompatible with her! I am incompatible!!!"

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, please be angry, Your Majesty!" The attendant was so frightened that he sent someone to clear the place outside to prevent the idlers from hearing what they shouldn't, while he knelt down and grabbed the queen's belt, " Wouldn’t the Empress be so impulsive that her relatives would hurt her enemies?! You must know that the empress dowager is still in a coma, and the one jumping up and down is nothing but Uncle Xingning! In His Majesty’s mind, the Empress Dowager and Uncle Xingning are the most important Is it the same? Your Majesty now speaks bluntly about the loving mother Empress Dowager, and spreading the word will only disgust His Majesty! Please think twice, Madam! Please think twice, Majesty!"

Gu Zhen was dragged by them, unable to move, vented for a long time, and even sat down on the ground all of a sudden, crying loudly!

"Your Majesty, don't do this." Zuo Zuo knew that she was suffering in her heart. The Empress had many regrets in her life, and the most grievous thing was that she failed to protect herself, so that she had nothing to do, and she failed to protect the King of Chu. As for the current predicament.

So far, the queen has been investigating the real culprit who murdered the King of Chu. She has doubted the Queen Mother Yuan, the noble concubine, many people, and even Chunjia... Of course, under the instigation of Yun Fenghuang, she doubted the Queen Mother Yuan the most.

As a result, she was now added to the list of suspects!

"Your Majesty, the empress dowager may not have done this, maybe the noble concubine did it? You know, the noble concubine has always wanted to persuade us to deal with the empress dowager." The servant knelt on the ground, holding Gu Zhen's arm, tears streaming down his face , "At times like this, you can't be chaotic! You can't just worry about being sad! You have to think of a way! And this may not be a good thing. When His Royal Highness King Chu had an accident, there were no clues. Maybe , what happened this time was caused by the real culprit. Then let's follow the vine and find out, maybe we can avenge His Highness the King of Chu and your empress!"

He also said, "The old man was fighting for the mother's reason in the previous court. Now, the mother should cooperate with the old man to wash away the grievances! Otherwise, wouldn't it be that the culprit is gloating?"

It was easy to talk, but finally persuaded Gu Zhen.

But she couldn't stay any longer, so she tidied up her appearance a little, and didn't even bother to change her clothes, so she was going to the front court to argue with those things that were eaten inside and outside!

By the way, let's find out who killed her King Chu, and beat her up!

It's just that the development after Gu Zhen rushed over aggressively was just as Yun Fenghuang expected: since the deputy director dared to "reveal" such a shocking truth in front of Manchu civil and military officials and Chun Jia, of course he was quite sure.

He didn't notice the Queen's arrival at all, instead he presented a piece of evidence that proved that in the palace that year, the Queen cared for the King of Chu on the surface, but secretly urged the palace people to neglect the care of the King of Chu So much so that the king of Chu had a high fever and was so stupid.

The key is that this matter, combined with a few facts, caused the ministers to whisper and believe a lot.

First, the introduction of King Chu's illness was a cold. At his age, and in the mountains during the summer vacation, it is very possible. The problem is, he was playing with the third prince at that time. But the third prince is safe and sound! This is why after the accident, the queen believed that the king of Chu was murdered rather than bad luck. The imperial doctor explained that people have different physiques, and they wear the same clothes in the same way. It is also possible that the third prince was not sick, but the king of Chu was sick and his brain was broken. And the third prince is a few months older than King Chu, isn't he?

At this moment, the deputy manager spoke eloquently, saying that the reason why the third prince was safe and sound was that although he was also adopted by the empress, he was not a direct son, and would not block the way of a prince like the twelve princes with Gu's blood. It was also possible to set up a memorial archway for the queen to treat the concubine kindly, which escaped disaster;

Second, after the king of Chu's accident, rumors were banned that the emperor intended to adopt other concubine sons for the empress and remember them as legitimate sons. But the empress was depressed and refused many times. Taking advantage of the emperor's guilt and pity, she finally successfully recommended Gu Susan's sister into the palace. May I ask, if it wasn't for the accident of the King of Chu, Gu Susan...had the opportunity to serve the emperor? Not to mention giving birth to a prince with Gu's blood!

So there is every reason to suspect that the queen is calling for a thief.

Third, the death of the biological mother of the twelve princes!

The deputy manager shook off the "truth" in public: "Little nobleman did not commit suicide at all, but murdered others! It is precisely because the slaves discovered this that they were terrified and unable to sleep all day long, so they risked the disgrace of the world and boldly went to the palace , to expose what the Empress Dowager has done!"

To be honest, in Gu Liman's capacity, even if she is the biological mother of the twelve princes, her death is really not a big deal in the eyes of Chunjia and the officials.

But it depends on when it happened.

On this occasion, this matter is nothing more than adding fuel to the fire!

It pushed the situation, which was already intensified, to a peak.

The Son of Heaven on the throne was expressionless.

The deputy manager was still talking: "... as we all know, among the three Gu's daughters recommended by the Empress to serve Your Majesty in the palace, the little Gu noble is the most docile and sensible. Even after giving birth to the twelve princes, she is still docile and silent. But the empress still refused to let go of the nobleman Gu, not only implying that the empress Mu and Gu Cairen were against the nobleman Gu, not long ago, she even pinched the dispute between the empress Mu and the nobleman Gu to get rid of him! Concubine Mu made the six palaces think that Concubine Gu was forced to death by Concubine Mu! This is the queen's sister from the same clan, and she gave birth to an heir for the queen! Even if the queen can't tolerate her, the servants are really afraid tight……"

"Damn slaves!!!" At this time, the gap between Gu Zhen and Ji Lingzi can be seen. The latter's family was destroyed at that time, and the building was about to collapse. When facing the malicious monarchs and ministers alone, he still did not lose the dignity of a queen.

But Gu Zhen couldn't do it, the weak court lady didn't hold back the queen who was skilled in bow and horse, she rushed up immediately, and slapped the vice-president solidly!

Then... Then if the maid hadn't immediately caught up with her and grabbed her, she would have continued kicking her a few more times.

This outburst shows the anger in the queen's heart, but with Uncle Xing Ning at the head, several courtiers immediately came out to persuade her to calm down, their attitudes were very respectful. Under the circumstances, the real can't be fake, the fake can't be real, don't be so impulsive.

The others who didn't speak out showed dissatisfaction with the queen.

After all, Concubine Min, who came from a humble background but was well-known for being favored by the emperor, was not like this when she was criticized at the court meeting...

With the comparison of Yun Fenghuang, it is hard for everyone not to be disappointed with the current successor.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the empress has a straightforward temperament since she was a child, and the thing she is most bad at is lying." However, this may not be a bad thing, Mr. Gu immediately stood up and took advantage of the situation to defend his granddaughter, "In front of your majesty and all the ministers, the empress Even if you are so impulsive, how can you do everything this tricky slave said?"
