Chapter 227 Today Is Also a Little Expert in Breaking Chapters!
Since the imperial concubine gave birth prematurely, the atmosphere in the palace has not been easy in the past few days.
Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing became nervous, but not very nervous.
After all, they are not in the same way as Yun Fenghuang, nor are they in the same way as the opponents of noble concubines such as the Queen and Queen Mother Yuan.
Moreover, she was often dealt with by the imperial concubine before, and it is recognized that her skills in actual combat are not as good as the imperial concubine's.
So these two concubines just follow the trend to pray for the noble concubine, care about them, and think about this time, which has nothing to do with them.
As a result, it was reported that letters and other things were found in their palace, proving that the murder of the noble concubine was involved, Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing were stunned!
At first, he still yelled that someone must have set him up, but when he got the reminder from the imperial concubine, he became furious!
As mentioned earlier, Gu Zhenwei's evaluation of the latter is not very high, and he is even reluctant to be in the middle of the law.
Everyone thinks that she got into the position purely by virtue of her family background and opportunity, and she doesn't have the ability and bearing to be the mother of the world. Therefore, Liugong followed the rules on the surface, but in fact he was not very convinced in his heart.
Especially Concubine Wan Jing, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Wen Huixian, who are gone, are even more worried about the queen.
Because if Chunjia hadn't repented back then, he should have been chosen among the four of them, instead of taking advantage of Gu Zhen.
Nowadays, old and new hatred are inevitable. Concubine Wan, who has always been low-key, could no longer hold her breath. She immediately ordered someone to send a message out of the palace to find her natal family for help. How old is the prince, and the Zhonggong can't accommodate me. Even a person like me who only gave birth to a princess will take advantage of the accident of the imperial concubine to kill him, let alone other things? From my point of view, the Zhonggong himself may not have this ability. I heard Before searching the palace, someone from the Gu family sent a message to enter the palace. This is because the Gu family can't tolerate me waiting!!!"
Concubine Jing is similar, because Concubine Jing gave birth to the thirteenth prince, she was especially worried: "Thirteen is only how old, and the queen has such vicious thoughts! If this time is just to wash off my crimes, similar things will happen in the future. , wouldn’t it happen again and again? If things go on like this, there is no place for our mother and son in this palace!”
And he remembered the matter of the second emperor before, although Concubine Xian took the initiative to ask the queen to bring it up, and it was Concubine Shu who did not keep an eye on the second emperor, but after all, the queen did not have a clear-cut stand to defend Concubine Jing.
Since Concubine Jing didn't care much about the second princess, after giving birth to her own flesh and blood, she cared less about her going to other concubines. Although she really made a fuss about this matter, she didn't hold much grudge against the queen in her heart.
Thinking about it now, it's different.
Immediately, I felt that Gu Zhen was really hideous!
How could the second princess, who was so good at the beginning, take the risk of offending herself and Concubine Shu, two concubines of high birth and high status, to be a daughter for Concubine Xian? Most likely it was instigated by the queen!
Even if the queen doesn't have such a brain, maybe Gu's instigation behind the scenes!
In short, Concubine Jing repeatedly stated that this time not only to deal with the Queen's attack and frame, but also to fight back!
The Luo family has already been snatched away by the Gu family. If they still stay in the defensive position, they might be eaten by the Gu family!
The famous family of the country, with the destroyed Ji family as the top family.
The following are the Luo family, Meng family, Yin family, Yun family and Ouyang family. Among them, Ouyang family was obviously targeted by Ji family because Ouyang Yanran hated Ji family back then, and his vitality was greatly injured. Ten or twenty years later, it has not yet reached the point of complete desperation. And as Ouyang Yanran returned to court, she also began to recover gradually. In general, Luo family, Meng family, Yin family and Yun family are slightly better than Ouyang family.
Below that are the Gu family.
In particular, the Gu family does not have any outstanding children to succeed them. It looks like they have a powerful position at present, but in fact, they are already very dangerous in the circle of prominent families.
After all, for this kind of Zanying family, like Ouyang's, it's not terrible to fall into a trough temporarily, but what's terrible is that there are no successors. No matter how good the situation is, it can only be in vain.
Originally, because the emperor planned to have a son-in-law, he took Gu Zhen as the master of the Qingci Palace in the future, so he suppressed and trained the Gu family a lot, and made sure that they became the loyal dogs of the future new king, not the wolf that devoured the lord. This makes Gu's current momentum weaker than before.
Now that the Luo family and the Meng family have teamed up, naturally they are not afraid of the Gu family at all.
So in the evening of that day, the heads of the two families entered the palace together, one to complain for their daughter, and the other to claim to have found out why the queen had framed their daughter: Concubine Jing and Wanfei accidentally smashed the evidence that the queen murdered the king of Chu !
So why did it take until now to talk about such a big thing?
It was because the second concubine didn't know the inside story at the time, so she didn't take it to heart. No, not long ago, the vice-manager of the Chongchang Palace exposed the queen, which made the second concubine suddenly remember!
But since the matter is serious, the second concubine didn't dare to stand up and expose it with empty teeth, so she decided to investigate in private, and when she got the evidence, she would report it to Chunjia. She was noticed by the sinister empress, and wanted to take advantage of the mechanism to trap the second concubine to silence her!
The two patriarchs cried in Taichu Palace, beating their chests, saying that their daughters have always respected the imperial concubine the most, how could they murder the imperial concubine? But the queen is really suspicious.
Chunjia got a headache from crying, but it was his fault that he broke the promise back then, and it is actually impossible for Concubine Jing and Wanfei to murder the noble concubine. Fan, promised to be aware of the details, and would never dispose of the second concubine at will, so he sent her away.
In the end, he pinched his forehead and asked Yan Yin to inquire, what is the queen's plan to end?
In fact, Queen Gu Zhen is anxiously asking someone to call Gu Shao: "She came up with such a bad idea, now it's better!"
Having said that, Gu Zhen didn't feel particularly panicked at this time, because she thought that even if she couldn't win this matter, the last fight would be over, and the worst would be to blame the two slaves.
Since Chunjia wanted to establish a son-in-law in his heart, would he still do something to him for the sake of two concubines who were not so beloved?
Her anger at the moment was just specially made to scare Gu Shao.
After all, the emperor never asked who directed Gu Shao. Maybe he was too busy with daily affairs and forgot. Gu Zhen felt that he couldn't deal with those charming and unpredictable concubines, and he couldn't deal with this younger sister?
But he intends to take this opportunity to press for some clues.
Who knew that she put on a stance here and asked people to pass on Gu Shao, but Gu Shao didn't come after a long while, but a palace man with a panicked expression came to report: "Your Majesty, Gu Cairen has thrown himself into a well!"
Gu Zhen: "……………?!"
She calmed down and asked, "How did you throw yourself into the well? Why did you throw it into the well? Where is her valet? Why didn't you follow her?! Why didn't you stop her?!"
"Your Majesty, Gu Cairen's servants are gone, and the traces are that Gu Cairen killed himself." As the Queen's servant, the palace servant has seen wind and rain in the past many years in the palace. If it was just Gu Shao who committed suicide, She may not be so flustered, "The house where Cairen lives is now full of blood!"
Gu Zhen was dumbfounded!
She entered the palace when the emperor got married, and it's not uncommon for her to see a cruel master. For example, there is still a legend about the palace concubine killer An Fei. Even Yun Fenghuang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even the death of the former imperial concubine and former concubine Shu is inseparable from her.
But those are all done by instructing the subordinates, the master himself is precious, how can he dirty his hands?
However, Gu Shaolun's family background was higher than Yun Fenghuang's, so he actually personally killed his valet? ? ?
Then throw himself into a well? ? ?
Gu Zhen's heart suddenly felt cold, because he thought of Gu Liman, the biological mother of the twelve princes, who also threw himself into the well?
She was dazed for a while before standing up, intending to go and see for herself.
"I can't do it, my lord!" But the palace servant who came back to order stopped him, "You haven't seen that scene, so don't go there, lest there will be a collision! Let the manager go over and clean it up, and you can watch it later!"
This waiter is usually quite courageous, she said so, it can be seen that the courtyard where Gu Shao lives must be very tragic.
Gu Zhen felt that he had lived in the frontier and had seen small-scale battlefields, so he was not afraid of such a scene, but he couldn't help but he couldn't help but treat her as a delicate flower and fight with others to persuade her. He hesitated, so he agreed.
As a result, the chief manager of the Chongchang Palace led people to rush over, and then tidied up. He wiped his cold sweat and reported back, saying that you are lucky that you didn’t go there in person. , Queen: "..."
What can she explain?
It's not good for her to tell people directly that the emperor will not touch me for such a small matter, and it is because of this that I don't care about provoking those two.
After all, Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing and their natal family are much easier to bully than Queen Mother Yuan.
Empress Dowager Yuan's attack was too ruthless, killing her at every turn.
Gu Zhen had no choice but to say: "These are all Gu Shao's suggestions, and I also feel that something is wrong, just now I was looking for someone to confront her, who knew that she was crazy, killed everyone around her and then threw herself into the well! As for what is going on, I will ask someone to investigate."
Not long after that, Chunjia came over in person, and the empress met him. He immediately asked, "Gu Cairen killed his servant and then threw himself into the well? Where did Gu Cairen get the ability to be a weak girl? Have you ever investigated the scene? Your men People may not be good at it, I asked Sun Yu to send someone over later."
Seeing the queen's face suddenly changed, the emperor said suspiciously, "Although it's not right for a foreign minister to enter the harem, it's okay if I'm by my side."
Gu Zhen bit the bullet and said: "Just now, the servants were afraid of frightening the concubine, so they have... already cleaned it once!"
Chunjia: "..."
He only knew that the queen was not smart, but he didn't know that she could be so stupid!
If he hadn't known Gu Zhen well, he would have suspected that Gu Shao was simply a scapegoat introduced by the queen, so he deliberately disturbed the clues and refused to investigate further!
"...In this way, Gu Cai has no strength to restrain a chicken, how can he kill a few servants?" The emperor sighed in his heart, there is no way, the queen he chose is not the time to make a fuss, so he can only bear it first. Yes, his face darkened for a while, and he explained in a slow voice, "It was said that Gu Cairen was killed by a servant, and the servant committed suicide afterwards. As for the reason... just say that we are investigating."
Gu Zhen nodded ashamedly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, where are Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing...?"
"I'll take care of it." Chunjia didn't believe her at all now, he might have lost his head before, how could he think that the queen did something good?
He even regretted coaxing the empress before, thinking back when he was in love with the imperial concubine, what was the imperial concubine like? The imperial concubine thinks that the emperor is so wise and powerful, how can she match the emperor? Where is the queen? The queen immediately relaxed and let herself go!
If there is no heart-to-heart talk, the queen is still trembling, maybe she won't talk about these things!
The emperor was in a mess, and hurriedly arranged for her, and didn't care about other things, so he just asked Yan Yin to stay and help with it, while he rushed to Xuanqing Palace to see the noble concubine.
Just in time, when he entered Huanhua Hall, Yun Fenghuang was pale, leaning on the couch with some difficulty and looking at the fifteen princes in the cradle next to him.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Chunjia calmed down his anger when he entered the room, but Yun Fenghuang knew him very well, so he could still see some traces, and waited for the emperor to sit down on the embroidered stool beside the couch. When looking at the sleeping newborn, she asked in a soft voice, "But the concubine's matter is embarrassing for you? If so, forget it..."
She sighed somewhat dispiritedly, "Anyway... the concubine's mother and child are safe, that's all... the concubine is not a newcomer anymore. There are many things going back and forth in this palace, and there is no reason for it. But Why bother His Majesty? Your Majesty is already busy..."
It doesn't matter if you can't find out the truth this time, as long as you store up your doubts and dislikes towards Queen Mother Yuan and the Queen, and wait for it to ferment... I definitely don't blame you, huh?
Chunjia didn't know what she was thinking, but after hearing this, she felt even more distressed. When did the imperial concubine ever give in like this before?
Before putting it aside, she started crying early in the morning, feeling so wronged.
Yun Fenghuang has almost never done such a thing as taking the initiative to calm things down.
"I must give you an explanation for this matter. After all, similar things have happened repeatedly in the deep palace. You can bear it, but I can't bear it!" The emperor's heart was agitated, but he took her hand and said seriously, "I was really in a bad mood just now, but it's not because of anything else, but because of the queen, you don't know what the queen did just now!"
Yun Fenghuang really didn't know what was going on with the queen at the moment, but her eyes flickered, but she only said lightly: "So that's the case. But you know the queen's temperament-Your Majesty, you have to be careful As for the bad things, I must definitely not intentionally upset His Majesty, maybe I misunderstood what you meant."
Chunjia was startled, the relationship between the imperial concubine and the empress is not good.
Yun Fenghuang must have tried every means to speak ill of the Empress, wishing that he could abolish the Empress on the spot...
This is……
He subconsciously looked at the sweet fifteenth prince who was sleeping in the cradle, and frowned slightly: Did the imperial concubine change too much for this kid?
The emperor was a little sad for a moment, because he thought that he had mothers and adoptive mothers, and they were all alive in this world, and he had never seen them endure humiliation like this for him?
At this moment, Chunjia subconsciously complained slightly towards Queen Mother Yuan and Queen Mother Qu.
What kind of arrogant and fierce temperament did Yun Fenghuang have before? When I was still a Baolin, it was already the concubine's priority to dare to go to the palace the day before, and then go to him, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the Da Ji family.
How many days has it been since his biological son was born?
She was like a different person.
Where is Queen Mother Yuan and Queen Mother Qu? In the past, Chunjia also felt that they were all very difficult and wronged, and she should be considerate of them.
But being compared by Yun Fenghuang... The Son of Heaven suddenly felt that the maternal love he had received was not so precious?
If the fifteenth prince was in his position, would Yun Fenghuang make things difficult for his son? Impossible. Even she would rather sacrifice her own life to let her son live comfortably...
This idea just surfaced in Chunjia's mind, but he immediately suppressed it, feeling like he had lost his head.
Yun Fenghuang's affection for the fifteenth prince is certainly moving, but Empress Dowager Yuan and Queen Mother Qu treat him well. His doubts and suspicions are too heartless.
The emperor regained his composure and was about to continue talking about the empress, but Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not in good spirits now, so I won't talk too much about the matter, but this child, has your Majesty ever picked him up for him?" name?"
Chunjia was startled, Yun Fenghuang noticed it, and immediately became a little unhappy, "I know that there are several princes and princesses in the palace who haven't given names yet, but Your Majesty said earlier that my concubine is different from others. The concubine's child should be different, right? Qin Wang Zhaoqing was able to give a name shortly after landing, and even had a title. Hasn't His Majesty thought of the child's name during the many days of concubine's pregnancy? ?”
"How is this possible?" Chunjia said hastily, "When you said you had hope before you were pregnant, I thought about it!"
