Chapter 344: The Prince Asks for Help
Except for Yun Fenghuang who knew the inside story early in the morning, the front court and the harem were all shocked by this!
Because no matter the queen or Concubine An, although they have always lived in the palace, they have been in the palace for many years, and they have heard about their temperament inside and out.
Concubine An's matter, in the eyes of many people, should actually be her own crimes. After all, since entering the palace, she has killed many concubines in the past ten years. It's not surprising that Shi Jiang, a humble person like her, dared to risk her life for revenge... As the saying goes, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry.
Wen Mingcui and Wen Shijiang are only fifteen or sixteen years old, which is the time when they are easily impulsive.
Seeing the sky being tortured, it was only logical that he would recklessly attack the master in a fit of anger.
Seeing that the emperor, who was never easy to fool, did not do anything to the queen, it further confirmed the queen's innocent guess.
Then what?
Concubine An broke into the Taichu Palace at night, had a long talk with the emperor, and went back to her residence. The next day, not long after the concubine went to the Taichu Palace, the queen was punished. Is this...?
In private, everyone quickly divided into two factions: one group supported Concubine An, and believed that the queen's punishment should be the rekindling of the old relationship between the emperor and Concubine An. Chunjia, deal with the queen seriously; one group supports the noble concubine, thinking that Concubine An is gone after all, and Concubine An is not good-looking, and her age seems to have faded at this time, how can there be a noble concubine with outstanding appearance and deep thoughts to please The emperor likes it?
The Queen's misfortune was probably caused by the imperial concubine's slander, but it was because of the opportunity that Concubine An made trouble, and she wanted Concubine An to take the blame!
This is Concubine Min's routine operation, so I can't hide it from them!
No matter which side you support, it's the former favorite concubine and the current favorite concubine who are torn up anyway. Everyone believes that the empress must be in trouble anyway.
After knowing the news, Concubine De and the others breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Gong Wei, who had only been unfamiliar for the past two days, is now familiar again!
That's right, since Concubine Min Gui entered the palace, how could the major events of the palace ban have nothing to do with Concubine Min Gui?
Not only must there be a relationship, but Concubine Min Gui must lead and become the final winner... This is the harem they have been used to for the past two years, okay?
A few days ago, Yun Fenghuang's low-key and non-controversial demeanor, that completely resigned tone of voice, and that tired rhetoric made them very uneasy!
Concubine De also reflected on this, did she not respect the concubine as much as before? So much so that the noble concubine actually didn't even tell herself the truth!
She felt wronged.
Because the number of times she came to Yun Fenghuang to show courteousness in the past few years is a little less, but there is a reason for this: her son, the eleventh prince, died in the smallpox!
Concubine De had to lie in bed for three or two months before she could get up, and even now thinking about it, she still feels very sad. This means that there is still a princess in front of her, otherwise it is not impossible for her to lie down like Concubine Jing until now.
Isn't it justifiable to go to the imperial concubine so rarely?
What would the imperial concubine do to alienate her?
But turn around and think about it, there are so many people in this palace who want to hug the imperial concubine's thighs, but because of my own grief, I can't let other people take advantage of the loopholes!
So Concubine De came to the door with the three imperial daughters together again, pulling the concubine to show her loyalty inside and outside the words, which made Yun Fenghuang baffled, and asked Qingren specifically: "Could it be that a child of the Wei family has taken a fancy to it?" Menger them? Otherwise, what is Defei suddenly coming to show her courtship to? She doesn't seem to have encountered any difficulties recently?"
The Qing people were also at a loss, thought for a while and said: "Earlier, the concubine De concubine mentioned this matter, but after the empress declined, the Wei family has always been very careful. They don't let the younger ones meet Miss Meng and the others face to face."
After all, Wei Hengyan has been with the noble concubine for many years, and he feels very clear about the temperament of the noble concubine's sister.
Since the noble concubine does not plan to give her niece to the Wei family's children, even if Xie Meng and the others fall in love with the Wei family's children on their own, the noble concubine may not be willing to do so, and may think that the Wei family deliberately plotted against her niece and daughter, and treat Wei to retaliate...
"Forget it, leave her alone." Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, then shook his head slightly, and said, "Is there any action by the Imperial City Secretary on the Queen's side?"
The Qing people said: "Yes, today I found out that there are problems with two palace servants, but they are bold! There is a villain who has been pricked in the room. It is said that the horoscope of birth date belongs to His Royal Highness King Chu. It's really...the empress doesn't know anything, no wonder Your Majesty is so angry!"
Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that he didn't know whether it was true or not, anyway, the accusation of the queen was confirmed even more when it was spread, it was all serious.
only……
Since the emperor asked the empress to cooperate in the show, the empress was really disgraced by doing this now, but how could she have the authority to suppress the Six Palaces in the future?
"The things hidden in the room, if you say that the empress can see clearly, it's a bit difficult for others." She said slowly, "If you have time, let our palace check it out suddenly, don't laugh at the middle palace. There are people like this who don’t know it.”
The Qing people laughed and said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. What do you think the two palace servants are doing to curse His Highness the King of Chu? It is because His Highness the King of Chu has become more and more impatient in the past two years, and he has tortured and served him a lot. They couldn’t take it anymore, so they did this. Our highnesses in the palace are all excellent, and it’s too late for everyone from top to bottom to love them, who has the heart to do this?”
Yun Fenghuang glanced at her sideways, and said: "Now that the children are not here, you also say this to fool me? Fifteen is still young. Xiao Qi is also quite quiet. Such a pampered person, Xiao Jiu is also a naughty one... Can the people who serve them feel relaxed?"
"Isn't it much stronger than King Chu?" The Qing people whispered, "Besides, the two palace people did this, and the Queen couldn't control the situation. Who in our palace would dare?"
Yun Fenghuang shook his head: "It's better to clean it up when you have time, and it's also a deterrent. Do you think His Majesty is doing this now just to make the Empress look good? But it's also for the Empress's benefit. The accidents in Yanfu Palace in the past two years didn't happen once or twice. Second, after all, in this central palace, the previous owner has been a daughter of the Ji family for three consecutive terms! Now the queen is not a powerful master, otherwise, in other palaces, who do you see being schemed against by the subordinates so frequently? Your Majesty The next time, Xu was ruthless, and took advantage of Concubine An's trouble to give the queen a plow court to sweep the hole. The queen is shameless at the moment, but it is better to live well. Either her sister died inexplicably, or she was in charge It’s good to turn back at every turn.”
The Qing people were just about to speak, when someone from the palace came to report: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince and the Tenth Prince are here, and they are asking the Imperial Concubine to help the Empress!"
"...how do people in the middle palace do things?" Yun Fenghuang was startled, but said, "I have already made an agreement with the queen to take good care of the imperial heirs. In the end, they still let them run out at a young age. What if something goes wrong?"
The palace man asked in a low voice: "Then, would you please go back, Your Highness?"
That is of course impossible.
It's all here, as a noble mother and concubine, or a noble mother and concubine who stands in front of the emperor who is "very friendly to children", how could Yun Fenghuang shut the door to the two emperor's heirs?
Immediately he helped the beaded hairpin by the sideburns, and ordered someone to bring the two princes in immediately.
After a while, the third prince and the tenth prince came in, and when they were about to salute, Yun Fenghuang hurriedly gave him a hand, and said: "Your highnesses, get up quickly, why did your mother tell you to come out? Could it be that something happened in the middle palace?" thing?"
"Returning to your mother, Concubine An just went to seek justice from her mother." The two princes are not very familiar with Yun Fenghuang, but the third prince is older and articulate, so he took the lead in saying, "Mother queen I was so angry that the stewards didn't dare to do anything to concubine An, can the concubine please go and see the empress?"
The tenth prince didn't say a word, just looked at Yun Fenghuang helplessly.
Yun Fenghuang sneered slightly in his heart, but his face showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "Your concubine Anmu has always been anxious, even if I go to the palace, I'm afraid she may not pay attention..."
Speaking of which, seeing that the faces of the two princes showed disappointment, especially the tenth prince, who was so young that he couldn't hide his emotions, he was about to cry, so he turned to pity, and hesitantly said, "Forget it, at most, you will be buried by your concubine An." Fan, I can't ask you kids to come here in vain. I'll just go and have a look."
So she ordered someone to prepare a chariot, and took the two princes to the middle palace.
Sure enough, Concubine An led a group of people to beat up the Chongchang Palace, and would scold the queen from time to time... The Central Palace could really bear it, and kept silent, letting the Huzhu Palace make a fuss.
Yun Fenghuang twitched the corner of his mouth, stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yuan, what are you doing?"
Before Yuan Niangniang could open her mouth, she immediately said, "Not to mention that the Queen's murder of you is just a one-sided story of the two Wen families. There is no conclusive proof so far. Even if there is proof, it will be dealt with by the palace rules. It is your turn to be here as a concubine. Playing wild? Why is the empress virtuous, knowing that you have been wronged this time, and feeling uncomfortable, and deliberately letting you go, you still have to push forward?!"
Because of the depth and breadth of Chongchang Hall, the light in the hall is naturally insufficient even in daytime.
Yuan Niangniang didn't ask anyone to light a lamp, Yun Fenghuang could only see half of her face from this angle, but the other half was hidden in the shadows.
Hearing that Concubine An nodded sideways, the cheeks that were originally shrouded in shadows suddenly showed bumpy scars. Due to the short days, they were still bright red, and the blood scabs had only healed. .
Even though Yun Fenghuang was prepared, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Don't tell me these rules and regulations." Yuan Niangniang looked at her blankly for a while, then tilted her head, and said coldly, "Look at me now...do you think I still care? "
Yun Fenghuang didn't know what to say for a while, and asked herself, if she lost her appearance after falling out of favor for many years, she must be ten times crazier than Concubine An.
But then again, if Concubine An hadn't been too hard on Wen Mingcui and other newcomers, such a disaster might not have happened.
"What do the imperial doctors say?" She thought for a while, sighed, and spoke to Concubine An in a gentle tone, "I remember that there are some ointments for removing scars in Curry, and the rumored effect..."
"It's useless!" Yuan Niangniang interrupted her, and said coldly, "Those two lowly maids wiped something on the tail of the hairpin... I am lucky to have my life back!"
This is trash!
Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart, he knew how to wipe things, he knew how to do it together while serving, but he still let Concubine An escape from birth, killing an enemy was not good enough, so I didn't have to worry about people like Ben Gong.
On the mouth, he said: "Emperor doctors always like to make things more serious, so they can evade if they can't be cured afterwards; they can claim credit if they are cured... why don't you just keep them and wait and see, maybe..."
"How long have Princess Zhaoqing's legs been raised?" Yuan Niangniang suddenly sneered, and said bitterly, "Isn't she a cripple now?!"
Yun Fenghuang, who originally wanted to continue to be a good person, quickly turned gloomy!
To the shameless lowly servant girl! ! !
Although she did not regard Zhaoqing as a treasure as outsiders thought, after the fifteenth prince landed, whether Zhaoqing or other cheap sons, their status would further decline...
But, no matter what, she is also her only daughter so far!
Even if there is not much sincerity after raising her for so many years, there is always something, not to mention that Yuan Lianniang, a defeated general, is also qualified to assassinate her? !
"boom!"
Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly raised his leg and kicked Yuan Lianniang and her chair to the ground!
