Chapter 282: The Twelve Princes

When Yun Fenghuang received the news, he was in a daze.

In the past few years since she entered the palace, she has always caught others by surprise, and this is the first time that she almost couldn't get back to God.

"Block the Xuanqing Palace and thoroughly investigate the whole thing!" After calming down for a while, the imperial concubine's face was almost ferocious, and she ordered a group of servants who rushed over, "First find out whether the square veil was there when it left the Xuanqing Palace. Acne marks; check again, the palace has been in contact with people outside in the past two days; as well as the children, let them not move around from now on! Let me stay in their respective residences and wait for the imperial doctor to come!! !"

"Your Majesty, the handkerchief was chosen by the maid herself." The Qing people tremblingly came up to explain, "At the beginning, the empress passed the word from the empress, although the empress did not give specific instructions on how to prepare it, but the maid was thinking about how the empress would prepare it. My son is still in confinement, how can I work hard? Anyway, the maidservants belong to the empress, so what the maidservants do is also the same as what the empress did? So I asked Chie and the others to take the best materials and make them. I bought some needles and threads and put them in the box for later use. I thought that if the empress has arrangements, then forget it; if not, I can also go on top."

Facts have proved that it is right to plan ahead, because Yun Fenghuang turned his head and forgot about it...

The queen's people came to remind that day, and the Qing people found a handkerchief in the box that was of a slightly higher standard than Yun Fenghuang's embroidery craftsmanship.

After all, there is no shortage of masters with superb embroidery skills under Yun Fenghuang's hands, but she has sent some "handmade" embroidery products to wander outside. ?

At that time, even if Chunjia didn't say anything, he would feel a little nervous: he also has feelings for the two empress dowagers, and both of them have left Fuyang County, and asked the imperial concubine to make something to express his heart. In the end, it was still a perfunctory act of taking down people. What is this called?

It can be said that Qing people are very considerate.

Yun Fenghuang also recognized her thoughtfulness, but still asked: "When you made the selection, did you find any traces?"

"Absolutely not!" The Qing people shook their heads affirmatively, "Your Majesty, it is an item for the loving mother Empress Dowager, how dare the maidservant be negligent, although I know that the empress is not afraid of the loving Empress Dowager, but if something like this goes wrong... , looking back, Xuanqing Palace is outside, what face can I have?"

This is the truth, even if the noble concubine is not afraid of the empress dowager's loving mother finding fault, but the dignified concubine Min, there is still a problem with sending something to the queen mother, the reaction is not only the concubine's neglect of the queen mother, but also the waste of the servants in Xuanqing palace.

The Qing people also emphasized: "When I first made it, the servants had seen it. Before Chie and the others started sewing, they washed their hands repeatedly with soap and smeared ointment. No!"

After it was finished, the Qing people also checked with Chi'e several times before putting it in a special box and locking it up for later use.

The Qing people went to pick it up in person that day, and it was checked again before handing it over to the Queen's people.

So much so that now she can recall many lines exactly, unless there is no trace of the acne mark at all, otherwise there will be absolutely no problem when the veil comes out of the Xuanqing Palace!

These words reassured Yun Fenghuang, she was not afraid that this crime would fall on her head.

Although it is now recognized that she is ambitious, and that the entire central palace may be recruited this time, it looks like a noble concubine... But in Yun Fenghuang's view, this frame-up is nothing .

Don't say she didn't do it, even if she did, it's not like she doesn't have a chance to clean up.

The most feared thing is that smallpox really originated from Xuanqing Palace.

In other words, smallpox has already begun to fill the Xuanqing Palace!

This kind of disease doesn't care whether you are blessed or not, whether you have a bright future, or whether you are rich... I have worked hard until now, occupying the position of imperial concubine, giving birth to my own prince, and when I am ambitious, what if the mother and son One of them died of smallpox, what is that? ? ?

Just thinking about it makes my heart bleed!

"...It's good that we're fine." Yun Fenghuang breathed out slowly, calmed down, and said slowly, "At this moment, there must be many people outside attacking us, so let's ignore that for now. Let's settle the smallpox issue first. Let’s discuss again! You must know that His Majesty is not a soft-hearted person. This matter has nothing to do with us, and we are also victims. Therefore, don’t be intimidated by their aggressiveness! Your Majesty will not be afraid of their numbers. Everyone, this palace, of course I’m not afraid! Don’t mess around now, remember, first make sure there is no smallpox in the Xuanqing Palace, if there is no smallpox, of course it’s best, and no one is allowed to come near it!”

"If there is, let's investigate thoroughly, how did it come in!"

When she was making intensive arrangements here, the former court Chunjia also gave orders in a hurry: "Seal the Yanfu Palace first! Then check the contact with the palace people of Yanfu Palace in the past two days, especially the palace people serving in Chongchang Palace. Who are the people who have passed, but if it is affected, if it has the main position, the first palace will be sealed off, and entry and exit will not be allowed! If there is no main position, first find a palace to block it... Be sure not to spread!"

Then arrange the imperial physician, "The tenth prince just fell into a well a few days ago, so the imperial physicians must not slack off, someone must guard the bed day and night!"

"There is also an imperial physician from the Xuanqing Palace..."

After he made some arrangements, he had the time to investigate the ins and outs of the matter, "Has anyone in Xuanqing Palace got sick recently?"

The emperor was asking about the disease, not the smallpox.

Because he knew that if someone in Xuanqing Palace had smallpox, there would be no reason for Yun Fenghuang to keep or cover it up.

After all, Chunjia usually went to the imperial concubine the most, how could the imperial concubine hide such news from him? When the time comes, if the emperor fails to succeed, how can the imperial concubine be able to take over the position at this moment? Not to mention being superior, whether she and King Jin can survive is a question.

Few of the important ministers in the outer dynasty have a good impression of her.

Without Chunjia's protection, the Gu family wanted to bury the noble concubine, and those courtiers had no reason to object.

So if Xiaopox really came out of Xuanqing Palace, I'm afraid Yunfenghuang was also kept in the dark!

This matter is serious, especially since Chunjia has already asked that the handkerchief was taken out by Yunfenghuang's servant Qing and handed over to the queen in front of Yunfenghuang, what does this mean? It means that if there were smallpox marks on the handkerchief at that time, even Yun Fenghuang would not be spared!

Then consider that Yun Fenghuang, like the queen, is a loving and caring mother to her children.

The imperial heirs of Xuanqing Palace are not very old!

How long has it been since the youngest 15th prince was newly crowned King Jin? ? ?

Even though the emperor was determined, he was a little dizzy at the moment.

After hearing the news, he instinctively cared most about the Tenth Prince who was the legitimate son.

But not to mention the status of the imperial concubine in his heart, let alone the empress and other heirs under the imperial concubine's knees, it's fine to abandon them at a critical moment. Normally, the emperor always feels a little distressed!

Especially this is not one or two heirs!

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Xuanqing Palace has not reported any illness in the palace these days." The servant hesitated for a while, and finally whispered, "It is rumored that the imperial concubine attaches great importance to the illness of the palace people. If someone is sick, even if it is an ordinary cold, they will immediately move to the yard farthest from the Huanhua Temple to stay. They are not allowed to enter and leave, and special people will deliver meals. Please come out. If someone conceals his illness, once discovered, he will be severely punished...even some palace concubines were executed with a cane."

The reason why Yun Fenghuang did this was because she was reminded by Yuan Niangniang when she just entered the palace.

At that time, she took the initiative to throw water in order to avoid punishment. Yuan Lianniang took advantage of the situation and said that she would probably catch a cold when she fell into the water in the sky, and she would not be sick to the emperor when she turned around, so she was not allowed to serve the bed... Later Yun Fenghuang took the lead. , drawing inferences from one instance, out of fear that I will be invincible all the way but be tired of the disease, I am very taboo to the patients in the palace confinement.

In addition, after raising several heirs of King Qin, he was even more vigilant against death, for fear of being tricked.

Especially when she was pregnant last year, she was even more worried that someone would take advantage of her lack of energy during her pregnancy to do something to her. At that time, the people who served her would be dragged out even if they coughed.

"The noble concubine is always cautious." Chunjia secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and thought that the noble concubine was indeed a noble concubine, and she did not disappoint herself, "Then the source of the acne marks on this square handkerchief has to be discussed."

The emperor didn't frowned much when he said this, because the queen was not as shrewd and vigilant as the imperial concubine, and the tenth prince didn't know if he could survive this calamity?

The servants were sent to continue the investigation, but Chunjia still couldn't rest assured, she didn't even bother to review the memorial, and went to the side hall to see the twelve princes in person.

The Twelfth Prince is three years old. Like most of his brothers and sisters, he was completely unfamiliar with Chunjia before. When father and son met face to face, they didn't know how to call someone unless they were coaxed for a long time...

But since the day after the palace change, he has been living in the side hall of the Taichu Palace. Although the emperor is busy with government affairs, after all, he gets the moon first when he is close to the water, and he can see him every now and then.

In addition, the palace servants who took care of him here consciously coaxed him to get close to the emperor, saying "Your Highness doesn't know how much His Majesty loves you".

As for the children, they didn't quite understand even if they were ignorant. At first, they were crying and begging for a mother, but after these days, they became more and more clingy.

Seeing the emperor coming, his eyes lit up, and he happily rushed forward to salute, calling "Father Emperor" sweetly and softly.

Chunjia laughed and picked up the son, weighed it, and said, "It's heavy."

The Twelfth Prince said happily: "My son eats well, well, well every day!"

"Twelve is so good." The emperor smiled and hugged him to the pedals. Seeing the toys all over the pedals, he asked him what he was playing with just now.

Hearing the child's cheerful answer, the emperor smiled, but his eyes were calm.

He was thinking, who did it this time?

At first glance, she looks like a noble concubine, but only a fool would think this kind of suspicion is justified.

After all, the empress's sons are the king of Chu and the tenth prince.

The twelve princes have always been raised by Chunjia...

In other words, if the smallpox incident happened in the middle palace, the loss would be heavy, and the twelve princes would benefit the most, not the noble concubine...

The emperor didn't think that Yun Fenghuang would be so stupid to take such a huge risk to do such a thankless thing.

What's more, things like smallpox don't judge high or low. Xuanqing Palace, as the palace where high officials lived in the past, is very close to Yanfu Palace. How old is Yun Fenghuang's only biological flesh and blood, Prince Jin? Bringing smallpox into the palace at such a time can neither solve the opponent once and for all, but also put himself and his son in danger. Can Yun Fenghuang do such a thing?

This is too underestimating Concubine Min!

So Chunjia never doubted Yun Fenghuang at all, what he suspected the most was Gu's...or, Gu's enemies.

Because if this matter is successful, it will undoubtedly be in the best interest of the twelve princes.

For now, the interests of the Twelve Princes are also the interests of the Gu family.

However, it is also possible that Gu's enemies did it to make the emperor suspect Gu.

You know, Uncle Zhaowu Gu Fangshu is already close to the capital, and within two days, he will be able to enter the city to face the saint!

On this eye bone...

The emperor was meditating, when someone from the palace came to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yin is asking to see you!"
