Chapter 89 The Emperor Takes Charge
Yun Fenghuang was suspicious and was about to find an excuse to go away to find out what happened. At this time, a group of guards with bright armor came in front. Seeing the three of them, they all looked relieved. Then... "invite" Yun Fenghuang and Deng Chengzhai to the monastery not far from the foot of the pine ridge to talk.
"May I ask where did Yun Bin go after leaving the summer banquet today, who did she meet, and what did she do?" In a separate room in the monastery, two chamberlains and two older palace maids dressed in slightly gorgeous clothes were smiling brightly. The attitude was polite, but there was a hint that he was not allowed to refuse to answer.
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly and quickly glanced outside the door... The guards who "escorted" her just now were standing there motionless, seemingly on guard, but in fact the doors and windows were open. You can hear everything you say clearly.
Rather than saying they are doing their jobs faithfully, why not say they are supervising?
Could it be that his arrangement for Xile and Miaocai to go back to the harem to get medicine was exposed?
Yun Fenghuang subconsciously thought so, but immediately rejected this guess.
Because neither she nor Miaocai nor Yun Qingman were powerful enough to allow noble people like the Empress Dowager to waste such a large-scale summer banquet, and they didn't even have the patience to wait for the banquet to end before worrying about it.
That……
It shouldn’t have anything to do with you?
Yun Fenghuang quickly calmed down and said calmly: "After the Empress Dowager and the three empress dowagers left the table, I and Wei Jieyu wanted to talk to their respective families, so I wanted to talk to my cousin Yi Guo first. The prince made an appointment at the pavilion by the lake, and Wei Jieyu went to look for the Wei family. After talking to her cousin, I went back to the table to talk with Yun Ronghua and the prince's wife. , followed by looking for Wei Jieyu everywhere, and finally, through the guidance of a young father-in-law, we found Wei Jieyu on the observation deck on Pine Ridge... I and Wei Jieyu enjoyed the Taiye Pool on the observation deck for a while. Wei Jieyu remembered that she wanted to ask her family to explain something, so she went down first, and I wandered alone on the pine ridge. "
"Unexpectedly, I met His Majesty and His Majesty's companion, Mr. Deng, within a short stroll."
"After that, I accompanied your majesty on a tour of Pine Ridge. It wasn't until just now that your majesty said that it was almost time for Chen Guang to return the table, so he came down."
Having said this, she asked, "I wonder who brought me here. Did something happen at the summer party?"
"The servants are acting according to orders, please don't take offense, Concubine Yun." An older chamberlain smiled and said perfunctorily, making it clear that he didn't want to tell her.
"So Concubine Yun didn't do anything out of the ordinary." At this time, a palace maid in blue suddenly spoke, looking at Xile behind Yun Fenghuang suspiciously, "But what do you think, maid, that you, a palace maid, look so cute?" Why are you nervous?"
Yun Fenghuang didn't even turn around and said, "What's so strange about this? I'm still confused right now."
The palace maid in blue frowned, but did not dwell on the question: "Concubine Yun, do you remember when you met your majesty?"
"Of course I don't remember." Yun Fenghuang changed his mind and asked tentatively, "Is this important? If so, I will think about it carefully."
"Of course it's important, otherwise I wouldn't have invited Yun Bin here." The chamberlain who spoke before said with a smile, "After all, there are no people on Pine Ridge today. Yun Bin said she was hanging out up there, but in fact, since Wei Jieyu left, The only one who can prove it is Yun Bin’s maid. The palace maid is Yun Bin’s, right?”
There was a hint of knocking in these words. Yun Fenghuang did not accept this trick and said, "I thought about it carefully and didn't remember it."
"..." The four palace servants saw that she did it on purpose, and they all frowned slightly.
The palace maid in blue said firmly: "Concubine Yun, you can think about it again. Can you really not remember it? The Empress Dowager is personally waiting for the result!"
The implication is that it doesn't matter if your backer is the Queen, we will have to reply to the Queen Mother later.
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that the Empress Dowager had been silent for a long time, and the few times she showed up, it was basically for the sake of the heir... Damn it, could it be that there was something wrong with Yuan Yuniang or even Concubine Zheng's pregnancy? !
Otherwise, even if there is an incident that requires the royal family to deal with it immediately regardless of the presence of many foreign ministers at the summer banquet, shouldn't the Queen Mother personally take charge of the overall situation?
From a fair standpoint, we can speculate that for today's summer banquet, except for the two pregnant concubines, almost the entire harem came to Xiaoyingzhou.
At this time, something went wrong with the pregnancy of a concubine, and Yun Fenghuang, the concubine who had been having troubles since the first day she entered the palace, just sent her personal maid to accompany Miaocai, the dowry maid of the Huayun family in Tongxia Palace. Harem...
The reason was quite good. Yun Ronghua was very seasick. Yun Fenghuang felt sorry for his sister and asked someone to get her medicine.
But who knows if it was a pretense, or if he did something else while taking the medicine?
... Could it be that the mantis was chasing the cicada while the oriole was behind it, and he was bitten by the oriole?
Yun Fenghuang was thinking about it in his mind, and secretly calculated the time, and said: "I really can't remember the specific time. I just looked down at Taiye Pond from the observation deck and saw the small boat carrying Xijing and Miaocai. , is about to arrive at the harem.”
One of the four palace servants immediately stood up and went out to give some instructions, presumably to arrange for someone to check.
Next, they asked a lot of details, mainly focusing on Songling. They seemed to want to confirm whether Yun Fenghuang really visited Songling.
It's just that no matter what Yun Fenghuang said in his answer, these people remained tight-lipped and didn't mention what happened.
After a while, it was already evening, and the interrogation came to an end. The four people politely said goodbye to Yun Fenghuang. Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang stood up and wanted to leave, but was stopped at the door. The guards were very polite, but their attitude was very firm. Yun Fenghuang could not leave before being notified.
"May I ask what mistakes I made?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and asked, "Why can't I leave?"
The guard clasped his fists and bowed his head, avoiding looking directly at the concubine, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know, please don't embarrass me, Yun Fei."
Yun Fenghuang bowed his head and thought for a while without saying anything, and went back to sit in the room. Seeing this, Xile wanted to speak, but she stopped him with a look.
The master and servant waited in silence. Soon someone came to deliver food. The specifications of the food were still the same as those of the concubine, and even more abundant.
But the person who delivered the food was the same as before, with a respectful attitude and no words.
After dinner, an older eunuch came and led them to a small courtyard next to them, saying that they would be accommodated here for the next two days, and they could tell him if they had anything to say.
This eunuch seemed to have a higher status, and Yun Fenghuang tried to find out the news. He finally did not refuse, and only said lightly: "It is wronged that Yunpin temporarily lives here... This is also for Yunpin's good."
Then Yun Fenghuang asked again, and he kept silent.
Yun Fenghuang frowned and went to wash up. After returning to the inner room, Xile came up to help her make the bed as usual, and wanted to help her undress, but was refused, so she just slept with her clothes on.
Xile saw it and asked quietly: "Master, will there be anything tonight?"
"Of course there will be." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "You go to bed first, it's in the second half of the night."
Yun Fenghuang slept enough in the second half of the night, and when he got up, he shouted that his stomach hurt and he was uncomfortable, and asked to invite the imperial physician. Not inviting the imperial physician was deliberately murdering the palace concubine!
She was just trying this method because she was unsure of what had happened. As a result, the people outside reacted quickly and invited three imperial doctors to the scene soon!
... With this situation, if Yun Fenghuang didn't know that she was pretending to be sick, she would have thought that she was dying.
Oh wait, with her current status in the palace, even if she really was dying, she should not be qualified to call so many imperial doctors to consult at the same time.
Across the tent, Yun Fenghuang tried to pretend to be dying, watching the three imperial doctors take her pulse in turn, and she became more and more puzzled.
The treatment of interrogation and house arrest was obviously a bit ill-intentioned, but she was not treated badly in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and she still had the lineup of imperial doctors at this moment, as if her life was very important...
What is going on?
Thinking of Deng Chengzhai being taken away by the guards before, and the blue-clothed palace maid repeatedly confirming the time, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but have an idea: Could it be that the one who caused trouble at the summer banquet was Emperor Chunjia?
And he did it personally?
But what did the emperor do to cause such a commotion?
Yun Fenghuang was in a mess, and she didn't even know when the doctors left. It was not until Xile came over and pinned the tent into the golden hook that she subconsciously turned over and sat up, adjusting her clothes while asking: "What did the doctors say?"
"They only said a few words to the eunuchs who accompanied them. I saw that they didn't look very good." Xile's face was also not very good at this time. She was worried about their situation and Yun Fenghuang's health. "Master, do you still have stomach pain now?"
The so-called stomachache was originally pretended by Yun Fenghuang, so of course it didn't hurt now.
She was about to answer, but suddenly remembered something, and she understood why the doctors looked bad and left without saying anything. Her eyes flashed and said: "It's much better now. Maybe the doctors didn't say anything because there was nothing serious."
Xile wanted to ask again, but Yun Fenghuang had already shaken the quilt and said she wanted to sleep.
She lay down but actually didn't feel sleepy. She was just thinking that since the matter had been exposed in advance, then... given the current situation, what should she do next?
Or, wait and see?
In the end, Yun Fenghuang chose the latter. There was no other way. She was not released the next day. Not only the next day, but also the next day, the next day, the next day, the next day, the next day, the next day... In the end, Yun Fenghuang almost suspected that she had been banished to the cold palace and everyone had forgotten about it!
Finally, it was officially summer, and an eunuch came to the courtyard with an imperial decree, asking her to return to the harem.
At the same time, there were two explosive news: First, Emperor Chunjia went to court to listen to government affairs! ! !
Second... What a joke, after hearing the first news, Yun Fenghuang had no time to care about the second one! ! !
