Chapter 352 Covering Up

After a long while, after listening to the recent situation of the harem told by the servants, the Empress Dowager Yuan thought quickly for a moment, and said slowly: "The reason why Mrs. Qu dared to refuse the Ai family's offer to settle down is because she felt that she had nothing to lose. After all, what Said that she is also the mother of the emperor. Even if the emperor doesn't like her, he will always give her a good life. But the Ai family is different. There is still love between the Ai family and the emperor, so As long as she is willing enough, then the loss of the Ai family must be greater than her. But... She has forgotten that her son is not only her son, but also... the emperor!"

"It's not that easy for her to take her to Ai's house in a broken jar!"

The queen mother ordered softly, "The person you were asked to find before, have you found it?"

Zhan Liu pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "I was looking for it, but I can only look at it from a distance... If you get close, there will be flaws no matter what. After all... that one is born with a vicious look." It looks like it's getting old again, those marks are really hard to get rid of."

"It doesn't matter." The Empress Dowager Yuan said coldly, "No matter how humble she is, she is the birth mother of the emperor's son. In the palace, she was served with delicious food and clothes. How can ordinary people see it? It's almost fine. Anyway. , the only one who can confirm her identity has always been the emperor! As long as the emperor says that what is making trouble now is fake, then it is fake!"

"But His Majesty will still raise her well afterwards?"

Empress Dowager Yuan said indifferently: "That depends, what did she do in private, and who did she get along with?"

A few days later, the Qishan Palace received news that the woman making the noise in the streets of Fuyang County was not the Queen Mother Qu herself, but an assassin who intended to assassinate the two Queen Mothers in disguise.

The course of the matter is roughly like this: the Imperial City Secretary found out early in the morning that there was an adulterer who wanted to harm the two empress dowagers. They failed to create a palace change earlier, so they thought about killing the empress dowager. In order to prevent the snake from beating the grass, it was also the reason why the two empress dowagers cared about the emperor Sheji and asked to use their bodies as bait to lure the snake out of the hole.

The entire court, as well as the government of Fuyang County, pretended not to notice.

But for the safety of the two empress dowagers, Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu were secretly hidden and only taught a substitute to show up.

In the end, I don't know where the news leaked out. In order to test whether the empress dowager in the mansion is real or not, the assassins deliberately sent someone to pretend to be the empress dowager Qu, in order to ruin the reputation of the two empress dowagers.

It was so good that the two queen mothers were forced to show up in person to refute the rumors.

Of course, this explanation is far-fetched, but it doesn't matter, most people don't understand it very well, and have never seen the queen mother, so they say it together, and they believe it.

The imperial court must have taken the overall situation into consideration, and Yun Fenghuang was not surprised by this result at all.

Neither the emperor nor the important ministers had the intention to investigate the grievances between the two empress dowagers and whether they were right or wrong. Anyway, they cut the mess quickly and settled the matter quickly. It is serious to calm the storm.

What she cared about was the situation, the opinions of the monarch and his subjects, and the news they had.

"Our people have seen it in Fuyang County, and the so-called real Empress Dowager Mother who showed up later is a fake, and she doesn't look very similar to the Empress Dowager Mother." Chen Jing lowered her voice and said softly, "Indeed The loving mother empress dowager is a kind mother empress dowager who is serious about children... The loving mother empress dowager also said that as a clan wife of the Fuyang king, she felt guilty for not being able to give birth to an heir for the Fuyang king. This is how your majesty can After being on her own, she went back to her hometown so that she could accompany the tomb of the former king and see more of the descendants of King Fuyang. Now that something like this happened, she was really embarrassed to stay in the mansion any longer, so she wanted to give it to him. The former king guarded the tomb, and he only brought his maidservants to serve him. After he said he was going to go, he asked someone to seal the door, and the food, rice, firewood, noodles, etc. were sent in through a hole in the wall. From then on, unless he died, Don't show up again!"

"Right now, everyone in Fuyang County sympathizes with and admires the two empress dowagers."

"The envoy sent by His Majesty did not dare to be self-reliant, so he flew to report to the imperial court. Now His Majesty seems to be in a difficult situation..."

Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly.

Chunjia was naturally in a dilemma, he just had a rift with the two empress dowagers, and he was on guard in his heart, he didn't want them to continue dictating in the imperial capital and interfering with many things that he didn't want them to intervene in.

I also hope that I will not be involved in the grievances between them every now and then.

It's not that I think the two queen mothers are bad.

In fact, as Empress Dowager Qu thought before, these two, one is the adoptive mother and the other is the biological mother, no matter how much Chunjia dislikes them, no matter how tired of them, she still intends to give them a good old age .

Now that Empress Dowager Yuan is pretending to be a living dead from now on, how can he not feel sad?

It's fine if it's just sad, the key is...

What if Chunjia wants to bring back the two queen mothers?

Because of Queen Mother Yuan's move, the rhetoric on the scene was that she was afraid of being misunderstood again and affecting the royal reputation.

Everyone knows that because of the relationship between the two empress dowagers and Chunjia, the current Fuyang Wang family has no restraint on them.

Even conversely, everything depends on the faces of the two empress dowagers.

Therefore, they continued to stay in the care of King Fuyang, and it was really hard to say that they were innocent.

After all, King Fuyang knew nothing and dared not take any action.

But if they were taken back to the imperial capital, and the emperor Chunjia was watching in person, who would dare say that the emperor would condone his mother's adultery with a foreigner?

"Does the queen know about this?" The concubine asked Chen Jing after thinking for a moment.

Chen Jing whispered: "When the slaves came over just now, I saw that some people also went to Woxia Building."

"Then let's wait." The noble concubine pondered, "I think, after the queen finds out, she should also want to talk to me."

The queen really thought so, and not long after, she sent someone over to invite the imperial concubine to talk.

When I arrived at Woxia Tower, I saw that Concubine De was at ease first.

After seeing the ceremony, the empress gave her a seat, and said bluntly: "You must have heard the news about Fuyang County, and this Palace may know more than you, but His Majesty may have the opportunity to welcome back the two Empress Dowagers." plan."

"This..." Concubine De was startled, subconsciously looking at Yun Fenghuang.

Yun Fenghuang looked as usual, and said softly: "Your Majesty is also in trouble this time, although the two empress dowagers are old and it is inconvenient to travel thousands of miles, but they can't be called loving mother empress dowagers, they really live like the living dead from now on. "

The queen said: "Your Majesty's pure filial piety, we all know it. It's just... the two empress dowagers, after this incident, after returning, I don't know, will they feel uncomfortable? As concubines, we always have to think about your majesty." Some."

Those two, not to mention Empress Dowager Qu, Empress Dowager Yuan was not good at all.

After such a twists and turns, I'm afraid it will become even more difficult to deal with.

Although Chunjia is not the kind of foolish, loyal and filial master, and does not trust the two empress dowagers very much, but...he is a son, and the empress dowagers are not ruthless. Protect everything?

The queen was especially worried, even Yunfenghuang was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and had a record of fighting for favor many times to settle the empress dowager Yuan.

When the time comes, Empress Dowager Yuan will find trouble with the noble concubine, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.

So looking at the six palaces, who is the most suitable punching bag for the queen mother?

There is no doubt that it is her!

So Gu Zhen lost his patience to test each other with Yun Fenghuang, and after waving back to the left and right, he said straightforwardly: "Since the two empress dowagers are getting old, in my opinion, I would like to invite them to spend their old age in Zuojin, Fuyang County. Good! After all, I left because of disobedience, and now I come back, what if the phoenix's body goes against harmony? What does the imperial concubine think?"

"Your Majesty, if His Majesty has made up his mind on this matter, even if the two empress dowagers show pity for His Majesty, he will insist on coming to the Imperial Capital even if the water and soil are not acceptable." Yun Fenghuang understood what the Empress meant, and hinted that he would go talk to Chun Jia explain.

In fact, from a fair point of view, there is nothing wrong with the Queen's move.

After all, the only thing that can suppress the emperor's filial piety to the Queen Mother Yuan is his preference for the noble concubine.

She is a queen, but she is not so decent.

If she went to say it, she would only be blamed by the emperor for not being filial to the queen mother.

The problem is that Yun Fenghuang is not happy.

Of course the imperial concubine didn't want to see the two empress dowagers, especially Empress Dowager Yuan making a comeback, but now that Empress Dowager Yuan was not coming towards her, she went to tell Chunjia about it, and the whole harem, especially the empress, benefited. His love for her has been shaken, and he has to feel that she is not filial, ignorant, and inconsiderate of him.

Isn't she wronged?

The queen said in a slow voice: "Even so, but... don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

It was not once or twice that she dealt with Yun Fenghuang, and she didn't talk too much at this moment, so she directly gave the condition, that is, she would invite Xie Meng and the other three sisters to be named county lords.

Yun Fenghuang was rather disdainful of this, because the seal of the county lord seemed a bit tasteless to her.

Apart from making the life of the three girls more comfortable after leaving the cabinet, it has no meaning.

Even after two years of coaxing Chunjia to favor her more and more, she can win it for herself, so why let the queen do this kind of favor?

The two sides bargained for a long time but failed to reach a result. In the end, Concubine De smoothed things over, implying that the return of the two empress dowagers to the Imperial Capital would be of no benefit to anyone, so why not take a step back?

"Actually, it's useless to directly talk to His Majesty about this." Yun Fenghuang heard the words, thought for a moment, and then said, "After all, Your Majesty is wise. The quarrel between us and the two queen mothers is unknown to outsiders. No idea? Now let’s go to His Majesty to say yes or no, I’m afraid His Majesty will think too much. It’s better to pretend that you don’t know, ignore it, and let Your Majesty decide.”

"But if that's the case, those two will not ignore it!" The queen frowned and said, "Is your kind mother, the empress dowager, really so decisive and selfless? If you really read the words of the former king so much, why have you been doing things all these days when you went back to Fuyang County?" Prestige, have you never visited the tomb of the former king?"

Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "We know these things in our hearts, and your majesty is not confused. The key is who told the empress dowager to have strong wrists, and she did it cleanly, so that your majesty didn't catch the handle? In this way, your majesty is not single-minded. Are you a queen mother?"

In other words, if the emperor caught their handle, then the mother-child friendship would not be broken instantly, but the embarrassing emperor would be awakened at once.

At that time, the emperor will definitely not consider taking them back to add trouble, if he doesn't say anything else.

Seeing that the queen was deep in thought, Yun Fenghuang continued, "I am still in Xiaozhong, and my brothers have all returned to Beidi. I don't know much about the situation in Fuyang County, but I feel that the empress dowager is a kind mother. I'm afraid I won't leave the whole thing and ignore it."

Therefore, if you want to find fault and expose them, you can only count on noble girls like you.

After a while, the imperial concubine and her party slowly left Woxia Tower.

Back at the Night Rain Pavilion in Lanzhou, the Qing people asked a little anxiously: "Madam, what if the empress backs down and dare not take the initiative to meddle in the affairs between the two empress dowagers?"

"What does that matter?" Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "She can't make up her mind to let Mrs. Gu intervene in the affairs of Fuyang County, and Queen Mother Qu can't take the initiative to find her?"

As long as Queen Mother Qu's people take the initiative to find the queen, and then expose it to Queen Mother Yuan...

Even if Yun Fenghuang wanted to suppress this section, Queen Mother Yuan would not agree!

By the time……

It's just that she received a message from Xie Wuzheng before she had finished her plan!
