Chapter 311: Twelve Tricky Princes

Chunjia frowned slightly when she first heard that the Wen family had teamed up to assassinate Concubine An, and immediately ordered the Imperial Hospital to go all out to save Concubine An, and deal with the big Wen family and the small Wen family...Wen Mingcui insisted that it was the queen's scheme and instigation At this point, the emperor's face was gloomy for a while, and Fang slowly said: "It's another trouble in Yanfu Palace! Isn't Gu Zhen a waste? He has been in charge of the Central Palace for these years, why does he still teach the people to trap him again and again?" Self-knowledge?!"

Yun Fenghuang wants to be a good person now, of course it is impossible to tell the queen what the emperor said, he can only be euphemistic.

Even so, Gu Zhen couldn't tell that the emperor had something against her?

Although it was not the first time that he was rejected by the emperor because he was not smart enough, how could such a situation not be uncomfortable?

She didn't speak for a while.

"Your Majesty, it's a big matter, so it's no wonder Your Majesty is a little restless." Yun Fenghuang persuaded softly, "But I don't doubt Your Majesty's intentions, but I don't doubt your Majesty."

Gu Zhen smiled wryly, and thought that he could only comfort himself in this way. Although the emperor thought she was useless, he would not doubt her ability to plot against Concubine An and take revenge on his loving mother, the Empress Dowager!

She calmed down for a moment, and said slowly: "This matter really has nothing to do with this palace... Concubine An, you know, concubine, we don't touch each other. As long as she doesn't come out to make trouble, the movement of Huzhu Palace will For the sake of His Majesty and the empress dowager, everyone turned a blind eye to it. Now that this has happened, it is really..."

"Of course the concubine believes in the empress." Yun Fenghuang said, "From the perspective of the concubine, it is probably Wen Mingcui and Wen Shijiang who messed up! If you think these two newcomers enter the palace, they will pretend to be different and confuse their companions, who knows What's the plan? The concubine was thinking that they must have a lot of schemes, but they were just unlucky and fell into the hands of Concubine An! Now that they are dying, they dragged people into the water indiscriminately!"

Gu Zhen pursed her lips, her family knew about her family affairs, and the grievances between Concubine An and Wen Mingcui and Wen Shijiang had nothing to do with Zhonggong.

But she also didn't believe that these two newcomers who had just entered the palace had the ability and ability. Besides assassinating Concubine An, they didn't forget to frame Zhonggong... Speaking of which, what kind of grievances does her Zhonggong have with the newcomers? At most, they are ignored!

In such a large palace, if Wen Mingcui and Wen Shijiang were just looking for two people to back their backs, who would it be wrong to look for her?

If it was out of jealousy, shouldn't he frame the current favorite concubine, the noble concubine?

So Gu Zhen actually suspected that the imperial concubine was the main messenger.

However, the imperial concubine has been very close to the Zhonggong these days, and at this moment there are repeated voices of comfort, Gu Zhen really can't do the thing of turning his face and questioning on the spot.

After thinking about it, she ran out of excuses and asked Yun Fenghuang to step back first, and decided to have a good analysis with the left and right.

Yun Fenghuang could see what the queen was thinking, so he didn't say much, and retired in a polite manner.

After leaving the Yanfu Palace, the Qing people were not happy: "The empress kindly came to report the news, but the empress seems to not trust the empress. It is really good intentions that are not rewarded!"

"It's not that she just became a queen. After all these years of ups and downs in the palace, if there is someone who treats her better, she will firmly believe in it. Even with His Majesty's protection, how could it be possible to stay until today?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Let's talk about it." , such a big matter, if I don’t talk about it, the queen will definitely receive the news today. After all, this palace is just for His Majesty to see.”

After all, "Correct evil and return to righteousness" and so on, especially for a master like her who has such an impressive record, how can she win people's trust without considerable practical actions?

In particular, she is still suspicious, and she is Chunjia who came from hiding her strength and biding her time.

"Your Majesty, do you think that this matter is the empress's envoy?" The Qing man pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice, "The servant girl really doesn't seem to know the empress, she has been thinking about it for many years. The safety of the next prince and the affairs of Uncle Zhaowu of the previous court are on the top of the agenda, so it must be that he can't take care of the loving mother Empress Dowager who has gone to Fuyang County. But the rest of the Gu family may not necessarily be. After all, what His Majesty said is the same, People in the middle palace have accidents again and again, is it true that the empress has no way to control her? The empress is also from a wealthy family."

The children of the rich family are bossed around by the younger ones, and the imperial servants have been taught by the elders by precept and example since the governor.

If it was a daughter of a concubine, maybe because of the oppression of the aunt, she would raise a submissive temperament, unable to control the scene.

For example, Gu Zhen's original wife, who was pampered and treated well since childhood, is basically unlikely to be unable to suppress the subordinates.

The last time the deputy head of the Chongchang Palace betrayed the water, it could still be said to be accidental.

But this time it was a manager who caused an accident with his subordinates, which is very intriguing.

Yun Fenghuang pondered and said: "It's hard to say... I haven't met other members of the Gu family, and I don't know their temperament and behavior. However, Wen Mingcui's suspicion is also reasonable. Before, I only said that the empress dowager is still alive. It's not surprising that some news from the previous dynasty reached Concubine An's ears. After all, there are some people brought over from Fuyang County in front of His Majesty. They are all people who watched His Majesty and Concubine An come together. Even if Concubine An loses power , and it is hard to guarantee that someone will feel pity for her and is willing to pass on one or two things for her. But think about it carefully, if you still think about the old love for Concubine An at this moment, will you not know her temperament?"

"If she still wants to be favored, take care of some newcomers, and His Majesty will say a few words and it will be over."

"She has been out of favor for these years, even if His Majesty will not pursue anything because of the empress dowager's face, wouldn't she be more and more annoyed?"

"If I were an old person like this, I wouldn't reveal a single word to Concubine An, but would tell the newcomers what shouldn't be said to Xuanqing Palace!"

In this way, the imperial concubine is urged to attack the newcomers, while killing people with a knife, it also prevents Concubine An's temper from making any noise, and further drifting away from Chunjia... This is the way to be kind to Concubine An.

"But Concubine An's temperament is not bad after she fell out of favor. She was not a likable person earlier." The Qing people objected, "If so, the maid feels that the old man brought by His Majesty from Fuyang County , even if you saw His Majesty and Concubine An coming together, is there any kindness in your heart towards Concubine An?"

It's not that all the old servants think about their old love, and An Fei doesn't seem to be able to win the hearts of the people.

Maybe the old man brought over from Fuyang County still has grievances with her and knows her temperament, so this is a special message to her so that she can kill herself?

Yun Fenghuang said: "That's true. When it comes to the emperor's residence, Chen Jing can only make insinuations. We don't know much, so we may not be able to guess the truth...Let's see how His Majesty handles it."

She was not in a good mood, because it seemed that this matter was not aimed at Xuanqing Palace, but towards the empress, but it was really not a good thing for her that the empress had collapsed.

Especially after returning to Huanhua Palace, Chen Jing came up to report: "Two days ago, the side hall of the Taichu Palace was already packing things for the twelve princes, but now they put them back again."

"Can you not put it back?" Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, and said lightly, "At the beginning, His Majesty left the twelve princes in the side hall to raise him, because he was worried about the peace in Yanfu Palace. As expected, smallpox broke out not long after. The third prince, the king of Chu, and the tenth prince managed to save their lives, and they have only been stable for a few days? Some stewards used the name of the empress to get involved in the murder of the concubine, but the empress was still ignorant Ignorance... How could His Majesty let the Twelve Princes go back to Chongchang Palace with confidence?"

Chen Jing frowned slightly, and said: "Mother, it's not a problem if things go on like this. Originally, the Twelve Princes had the title of legitimate son, but now they are still young. If they continue to live like this, how can the outside world not be happy?" Guessing?"

The former court and the harem now knew in their hearts that the reason why Chunjia raised the child in her own residence was purely because she was worried about the queen's ability.

I'm afraid he won't grow up in front of the queen when he goes back.

It's not that the twelve princes must be registered as princes in the future.

It can be counted that the Twelve Princes have lived in the side hall of Taichu Palace for a full year!

If things go on like this, one can imagine his advantages in discussing the establishment of a prince in the future!

Not only is he a legitimate son, but also has the blood of the Gu family, and the emperor has always been with him... How can the courtiers not wonder whether the emperor also prefers this prince most in his heart?

"That's why I have some doubts about Mrs. Gu..." Yun Fenghuang murmured, "However, there is no proof, it's not easy to deal with... Originally, the birth mother of the tenth prince should be the most concerned about this matter, but Mrs. Ping came from a poor family, let alone She doesn't have that kind of thought, even if she has that kind of thought, as long as she is smarter, she won't dare to show it."

No matter how you look at it, the beneficiaries of the queen's incompetence are the twelve princes...

So the truth of this matter, whether or not Gu is playing tricks, is actually not important.

The key is that the Twelfth Prince cannot be allowed to be taken by Chunjia himself.

Even though Yun Fenghuang knew in his heart that Chunjia was really busy, he had rarely been to the harem these past few years, and he didn't visit the Twelve Princes twice every day in the previous dynasty, but as a prince he had been living in the emperor's bedroom, with The treatment of the other emperor's heirs is completely different, and from the outside world, it will be understood as some kind of special signal.

"The reason why the twelve princes stayed in the emperor's residence at the beginning was because the boat capsized the next day due to the palace change." Chen Jing thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "If Mrs. Gu had plotted this matter since then, then...then fell into the water together Yes, there are also the Empress Dowager Mother and the Empress Dowager Mother!"

Seeing Yun Fenghuang raising his eyebrows, he continued his efforts, and continued, "This time Wen Mingcui insisted that the queen wanted to use Concubine An to provoke the empress dowager, and she was thinking of murdering the empress dowager, do you think it is possible? The loving empress dowager recalled the details of that day these days, and found something that made her suspicious of the empress and the Gu family. The empress and the Gu family did this to kill them all? Or the loving empress dowager did not find anything, but the empress and the Gu family Mrs. Gu, you have a guilty conscience and plan to kill someone to silence your story?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang was thinking quickly, her complexion fluctuating, and after a while, she said slowly, "What you said makes sense, but we don't do anything now!"

Seeing that Chen Jing was stunned, she explained in a low voice, "Whether Concubine An's master or servant really doubts the Queen or pretends to suspect the Queen, this time Concubine An suffered such a big loss, she must report it to the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and fight for them. It's good! Based on my understanding of the loving empress dowager, regardless of whether she will return to the palace this time, she will definitely not let the empress and Mrs. Gu go easily! In this case, do you think the loving empress dowager will ignore the twelve princes? ? This Palace has just stated to His Majesty and the Empress that he wants to live a good life from now on, not to meddle with or to provoke those who have nothing, if it is found to be embellishing it now, what do you think His Majesty will think?"

Before Chunjia knew about this, she just scolded the queen as a waste, but did not give specific instructions.

Yun Fenghuang was suspicious right now, did the emperor do this on purpose, or just wanted to stand still, and secretly observe whether his temperament has really changed, or is it just talking about it?

Of course, it may also be that Chunjia felt that the matter was tricky and couldn't make up her mind for a while.

But after thinking about it carefully, Yun Fenghuang still felt that it would be better to continue pretending to be pure... The main reason is that the Twelfth Prince is now four years old, and there are still two years before he enters school, so he still has some time to mediate.

There is no need to take risks in this situation.
