Three Hundred and Twentieth Eight Chapters No Way Out

"...As you said, it is Uncle Zhaowu who is most likely to be the murderer who caused my Xie family to suffer such misfortune." Yun Fenghuang burst into tears, his limbs and bones were all cold, but there seemed to be a fire in his chest The flames were burning, the eyes were frosty, and the flesh and blood on the palms were pinched by the nails, and he forced himself to calm down, "But Uncle Zhaowu's move... What benefits does it have for the Queen and the Gu family if he did it two years ago? Forget it, the empress was indeed persecuted by this palace for a while! But for many years, this palace has been very respectful to the empress, and even took the initiative to restrain her edge...Uncle Zhao Wu...is this forcing this palace to fight him to the death? ?!"

When Xie Wuzheng heard the words, his whole body trembled visibly.

He clenched his fists hard, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say bluntly: Your Majesty is certainly very intelligent, but you should not underestimate the people of the world! The Gu family has indeed gradually declined in the past two years, but this is mainly because they have no successors. .Now the head of the family, from the old man Gu to Uncle Zhaowu, are they easy to get along with? Rong Chen said something bitter: Maybe it is because the empress has been very respectful to the queen for many years, and she has taken the initiative to restrain her edge, so she is called Uncle Zhaowu Rumant is on my back, I can't rest assured, so I made this murderous move!"

"After all, what the empress did was not to give up her ambitions sincerely, but to imitate His Majesty in the past, to hide her strength and bide her time, waiting for a good opportunity!"

"Originally, even though His Majesty is determined to have a son-in-law, in the final analysis, it is for the long-term consideration of the country and the dynasty, so as not to disturb the future generations."

"The ones your Majesty really likes are the Empress, and Her Royal Highness King Jin who was born by the Empress!"

"So if your empress has always acted the way she did earlier, whether it's the Gu family or the empress, if you act honest and loyal, maybe you can wait until the empress makes a mistake, and when the court and the harem feel that the empress is arrogant and domineering, she should not be entrusted with important tasks! At that time, people's hearts will turn Zhonggong, even if His Majesty is partial, you have to consider the overall situation."

"But……"

"Over the years, your empress has changed her way of dealing with the world."

"Not only is he respectful to the empress, he is also very kind to the princes, and even... through His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing, he saved a group of newcomers from Concubine An!"

"It's true that the empress is virtuous inside and out, but what do you think about Mrs. Gu and the queen?"

"They definitely don't trust the empress, but your majesty believes, and the subjects believe... In the long run, the queen's incompetence will inevitably be revealed, and you don't even need to change your mind. After a few years, there will be courtiers and people who will take the initiative to propose that you replace the queen. , into the lord of the middle palace, the mother of the world!"

"The problem is that His Majesty favors you so much. Mrs. Gu has this suspicion, but she is helpless. She can only watch helplessly as you push them into corners step by step, even to the point of death!"

"You must know that King Jin is not yet one year old. After a few years, His Royal Highness Jin will grow up and be able to play around his knees. How can His Majesty not be very fond of him? The ten and twelve princes have already reached the age when they can go to school, but so far The former court and the harem did not hear rumors about their intelligence and courage, so it can be seen that the qualifications of these two princes may not be very outstanding!"

"However, His Majesty is wise and mighty, and Your Majesty is intelligent and quick-witted. Isn't His Royal Highness Jin's talent more worth looking forward to?"

"Standing on Uncle Zhaowu's position..."

When Xie Wuzheng said this, he wiped away his tears and choked up his voice, "If you hold back because of your empress' recent respect for the empress, what is the difference from sitting and waiting to die?! Your empress, I have the courage to speculate that Uncle Zhaowu's move is On purpose! Otherwise, with his ability in the Northland and his position in the Northland, if he wants to cover up one thing or two, I'm afraid you and I will be kept in the dark until now!!!"

"Uncle Zhao Wu is using this to force the empress to take the initiative to fight against the queen and the Gu family!"

"So empress can't continue to hide her strength and bide her time..."

"May I ask, even if Your Majesty has always loved Empress, after all, she has no plans to make Empress a queen, if Empress now turns against Gu, how likely is it to succeed?!"

Now the Gu family is only on the decline, but the two generations of family members, Mrs. Gu and Uncle Zhao Wu, are not easy-going lamps. In terms of means, prestige, and power status, they are not comparable to Gu Zhen's generation.

In addition, the emperor's determination to establish a son-in-law is firm, and because of the short time of getting along with King Jin, Yun Fenghuang's affection may not be as deep as that of King Qin. With this certainty, when she likes to hide her power and bide her time? ? ?

But if Yun Fenghuang is given time, maybe it will happen.

Chunjia is rational and decisive at the moment, and will not be shaken by his love for Yun Fenghuang, and his determination to help the country and continue the blessings of the Gongxiang clan. What about her now?

Yun Fenghuang was very unwilling to believe it, but after repeated consideration of Xie Wuzheng's speculation, she had to admit that this cousin's suspicion was very reasonable.

If she were Uncle Zhao Wu, she wouldn't give an opponent like herself a chance to stall for time!

There are many obstacles for the empress to enter the Qingci Palace. In addition to Yunfenghuang, there are several houses that were destroyed earlier. If there is something wrong with Gu Zhen, there will be a chance to get involved with Chunjia's third empress. Candidates.

However, Yin Xuan died in childbirth, and Ouyang Fulu and Meng Youyi were killed by Yun Fenghuang. The only thing left was Luo Hanyi, and his own prince also died in the smallpox.

Looking around the Sixth Palace, as long as Yunfenghuang goes down, unless there is a second Yunfenghuang in the follow-up newcomers, there will be no one who can threaten Zhonggong!

In this way, a stable post is also equivalent to a stable East Palace, and Gu's future is also stable!

"...You're right." Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a long time, and laughed miserably, tears streaming down his face, "It's me... I have been so smooth in the past two years...so...too small Looked at others... Uncle Zhaowu... Hehe... The Kingdom has always cherished the title, and the Wei family is the husband's family of the eldest princess. After losing the title, he has struggled in every possible way, but he has not been able to get it... Uncle Zhaowu can get the Earl Zhifeng, how could it be someone who waits for nothing?"

"This palace is careless..."

"The empress has always been indecisive and dull-minded. I have never tried hard to deal with her, so I even despise Uncle Zhaowu."

"I didn't expect it at all, the dog girl might not have the tiger father..."

"Back then, Xiaozong was ruled by the Ji family, and he died in depression, but when Xiaozong's father, the late Emperor Shenzong, was in power, how respectful and well-behaved was the Ji family?"

"This time, it's true that Ben Gong has gone wrong!"

But the question is, if she doesn't do it, what else can she do?

In the situation when she first entered the palace, even if she was willing to restrain her temper and be a low-key girl, would Yuan Niangniang let her go?

Yuan Lianniang is willing to show mercy, but Concubine Zhenxishu will not agree!

Unless she just sits and waits to die, otherwise...she can only show off.

But now that Zhang Yang has his own son, the crown prince has already negotiated for a while, and the emperor has also signaled openly and secretly, telling her not to spoil her arrangements for the future of the country. She... even if she has no ambitions, it is time to restrain herself Sharpness, so as not to continue to steal the limelight from Zhonggong.

Besides, if she continues to make publicity, how can Chunjia not feel bored? Once the emperor's favor is shaken, for a concubine like her who relies solely on the emperor's position, the blow will be fatal!

At this moment, Yun Fenghuang seemed to have returned to the year when he was twelve years old.

Lonely and helpless.

Even she can't express this kind of loneliness and helplessness, because it doesn't attract sympathy and pity, but instead spares no effort to attack and target.

"Your Majesty, you can't blame your Majesty for this. Your Majesty has no other choice but for the sake of the family." Xie Wuzheng suppressed his sobs and said, "To blame, it's only because of the incompetence of the ministers! Other people's fathers and brothers are backers for the girls in the family. The Xie family relied on a lot of empresses, but...but... Fang Caichen was just afraid that the empress would not believe him, so he would make a slip of the tongue! I also ask the empress not to take it to heart, in the final analysis, Uncle Zhaowu deserves to be born in the army, and he is really vicious! !!"

"If you just want to force the empress to be hostile to her, it's fine to kill the sons of the main branches of my Xie family. What can the old and weak, women and children help?!"

"Many nephews and nieces were sent out by their families by luck, but..."

"He is deliberately trying to break the roots of my Xie family!!!"

"If it weren't for the Xie family who still has some children who are let go, such as the ninth brother and the eighteenth brother, my Xie family...even if there is a surname in the world, it has nothing to do with the main branch!!!"

Speaking of the last sentence, he couldn't help crying again!

Yun Fenghuang above was also in tears, she understood Xie Wuzheng's pain, this cousin himself was particularly entangled in heirs because the eldest princess was barren. Even if he doesn't want to adopt his nephew as his heir, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about his nephews.

At such a time, the concept of clan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if one's own children and grandchildren are full, and brothers and uncles are desolate, it is worth worrying about.

Not to mention that Xie Wuzheng's knees are empty so far, and he recently picked up a bunch of twin sisters from Huizhou to relieve the loneliness of the eldest princess?

"This is the end of the matter, empress, I don't want to say anything else." Xie Wuzheng wept for a moment, then stopped his voice suddenly, walked forward on his knees, and said in a low voice, "I only hope that empress will do this for myself and for this bloody revenge. Be careful!"

"Since Uncle Zhaowu came up with such a poisonous plan, he must have intended to provoke the empress to lose her mind in a rage!"

"Now Your Majesty's intention to establish a crown prince is still in the central palace. If the empress does not care about it and makes a fuss... I am so incompetent and unable to share the worries for the empress. I am afraid that the empress will be alone. At that time, it will annoy your majesty instead!"

"That's it... my Xie family's deep hatred will never have a day of revenge!!!"

Yun Fenghuang suddenly closed his eyes.

Right now, she wished she could lift the sword herself and tear the entire Zhonggong and Uncle Zhaowu's mansions into pieces! ! !

but……

Xie Wuzheng is right.

She couldn't do this, and even the degree of disturbance depended on Chunjia's reaction.

She has no way out...

Before the Xie family suffered such a calamity, she might be able to hide her strength and bide her time in the face of the general trend, or simply change her mind and change it to accept her fate.

Get along with Gu Zhen in harmony, and in the future teach the children under his knees to be a respectful and courteous king.

But now, even if Yun Fenghuang is willing to let go of his hatred, can Gu's believe it?

There is no room for maneuver between the two parties!

Either she succeeded in avenging Xie's family and accepting the position of East Palace and Qingci Palace together; or Gu Zhen, under the protection of the family, stepped on the blood pool of Xie's and Xuanqing Palace's corpses and succeeded in having the last laugh.

Coexistence is no longer possible.

"...Bengong...knows!" Yun Fenghuang slowly opened his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Since brother twenty-one persuaded me in this way, he must be aware of it. But Brother Ninth and the others..."

Xie Wuzheng burst into tears: "This matter is so important that I didn't dare to tell them at all! If they have doubts and come to ask, I... have already decided to conceal it! Now, even Brother Eighteen... I don't know anything!"

"It's right that you don't tell Eighteenth Brother, Eighteenth Brother...the city is lacking, he...if he finds out, I'm afraid he can't help it..." Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly, "This matter, Mrs. Xie Up and down, for the time being, just the two of us know. As for the revenge, it can only be the two of us... For the others, forget it. In this way, if we fail, they may still have a way out... Anyway, the main branch Originally, the population was prosperous, but now... at least there is still a legacy, and we must try our best to pass it on."

The two brothers and sisters were not idle people, although they were distraught, they calmed down quickly and discussed the countermeasures in a low voice for a long time.

After a long while, Xie Wuzheng resigned and left. Qingren and other servants rushed forward to serve him cautiously. Yunfenghuang pursed his lips and didn't speak for a while, then spit out a mouthful of blood without warning!
