Chapter 144 Confession

"Hui Niangniang's words, I haven't heard yet." Such important military events that happened thousands of miles away are naturally beyond the reach of a noble concubine Yun Fenghuang.

Yun Fenghuang thought it over and over again, but he was worried about Xie Kuo, so he specially sent someone to the front to invite Chun Jia over this day.

The two talked about the children for a while, and this matter has been spread now, and it is no longer considered a major secret, so she asked straight to the point.

"I have ordered the Imperial City Secretary to conduct a thorough investigation." Chunjia also knew that the imperial concubine was concerned about her niece, so she reached out and patted the back of her hand, and said gently, "Don't worry, Weihe's current Dayan clan is not just yours. My niece is also Princess Xincheng of the Kingdom."

The implication is that even if Weihe Khan has a problem, he is calm and thoughtful, Guochao will not stand by and watch.

Since she married Princess Xincheng, to a certain extent, the interests of Princess Xincheng represent the interests of the country.

Although Yun Fenghuang had also thought of this, but with the emperor's personal consent, he felt more at ease.

Now that she was pregnant, she naturally would not stay the emperor overnight, so in the evening, she recommended the emperor to go to Concubine De.

"Your Majesty, please relax. Da Yan is your niece, so how can she not be blessed by you?" Qing people came up to comfort her, "It will be fine for sure."

"Thousands of miles away, so what if you don't relax your mind?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, took a sip of the goat's milk she handed over, and said thoughtfully, "By the way, the King of Qin these two days, the What are you doing? I heard that he has been running out recently?"

The Qing people hesitated to speak, but the imperial concubine looked on, and finally said: "His Royal Highness has indeed been going outside often recently, but he has often seen that Qi Luqing."

Yun Fenghuang was not angry, but curious: "Although King Qin was brought up by me alone, I have to admit that he is not a good opponent in front of people outside of me. Qi Luqing also heard that Isn't it a good-temper-character, to be able to coax him?"

Her son's aptitude is not outstanding, but his identity as the eldest son of the emperor can be considered well-informed.

Especially the younger sister Princess Zhaoqing who grew up together is the first-class beauty, and in the court, there are even fat, swallows and thin, each with its own merits.

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang didn't think that Qi Luqing got Qin Wang's attention because of her appearance.

No matter how unfavorable the princes are, at least their knowledge of beauties is unmatched by ordinary people.

Deducting the beauty, it is mostly temperament... The problem is that Qi Luqing has little to do with virtuous and virtuous in the rumors in the past.

How did this coax King Qin?

"..." The Qing people thought for a while, and then said carefully, "That Qi Luqing's riding and shooting is exquisite, and she is very different from ordinary girls. It may be because of this that she is particularly attractive to the King of Qin."

"Really?" Yun Fenghuang put his hands on his forehead, squinted his eyes, and after a while, said slowly, "She was brought to the Imperial Capital by her stepmother Xiao Gu, and she lived in the Gu family at that time. Now the Gu family can't protect themselves. What happened to the girls?"

The Qing people said softly: "Earlier, even before the central palace was abandoned, the mother and daughter moved out of the Longping uncle's mansion. The reason for looking for it outside was that the newly bought house had a problem with feng shui, and the owner needed to live in it to suppress it. Actually It was Qi Luqing who couldn't get along with Miss Gu's family, and had conflicts from time to time. She didn't have the slightest sense of relatives, and she was protecting herself, and little Gu was caught in the middle... But I heard that Qi Luqing The general dotes on this eldest daughter, and in the two years since Xiao Gu entered the family, he only gave birth to two daughters, and both of them died young. We can only raise this eldest daughter and General Qi's concubine under his knees."

"But I dare not teach Qi Luqing a lesson."

"Later, the elders on Gu's side felt sorry for their children, and they had a showdown with Xiao Gu in private, so Xiao Gu found an excuse to buy a house and brought the child to live there."

"When the accident happened in Zhonggong, the mother and daughter took advantage of it so that they would not be affected."

Yun Fenghuang's expression was a little subtle, and he said after a while: "At that time, I heard that he was very tired of the mother and daughter, but I didn't expect that he would actually dote on this eldest daughter."

The Qing people were stunned before realizing the meaning of the imperial concubine's words, feeling very embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then said: "This... Maybe when you are young, when you have to take care of everything, the child will not be cute. Wait a long time Older, able to walk and run, doesn’t that make the parents feel pity? Is it my own flesh and blood?”

It has been so many years, and as a close confidant, she certainly understands that Yun Fenghuang said this, not because she still has something unforgettable about Qi Jiulu, but just said it casually.

So he said again, "But according to the report of the people below, this Qi Luqing...'s temperament reminds the servant girl of her mother's childhood. Of course, her mother is smarter than her, she is more careful in her actions, and she is not as ostentatious as her."

This is the truth, although they are all not easy to mess with.

But Yun Fenghuang's reputation was quite good back then, but Qi Luqing knew what she had done after a little inquiring.

Of course, this does not mean that Qi Luqing is definitely not as good as Yun Fenghuang when he was a child, it can only be said that this child has suffered from having no mother.

Even if her stepmother, Xiao Gu, had nothing to do with her, she would not think about her wholeheartedly.

And even though the Jiang family made his own daughter very angry and heartbroken, he still had to bear with trying to build a good reputation for her.

"So, he is a very thoughtful kid." Yun Fenghuang understood a little bit why King Qin was interested in Qi Luqing, "King Qin was a noble person when he was young, but because of his aptitude, he kept asking him again and again. After being suppressed more times, the child doesn't say anything, and his attitude is even more arrogant, but his heart is becoming more and more unconfident."

It's no wonder King Qin, he was full of confidence in himself at the beginning, but as the eldest son of the emperor who was the first to enroll in the first school, he was taught by his mother and concubine in private, but he was still surpassed lightly by one younger brother after another... …

After a long time, I really can't believe in myself.

Some people subconsciously look for what they lack in the people around them. Qi Luqing's temperament is not mainstream, but she is undoubtedly a person who has great confidence in herself.

King Qin may not have noticed it himself, he was attracted for this reason.

"It's really very thoughtful. When our Highness plays with her, we often can't hold her back." The Qing people looked at the imperial concubine's expression and felt that she didn't care about the past, so Fang said softly, "The people below have heard some news. , I just don’t know if it’s true or not: Say... When Chao Shi was alive, he taught Qi Luqing in comparison to his mother.”

Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows: "She is kind-hearted! Ben Gong thought that she would never want to see Ben Gong in her life."

"Your Majesty was young at the time, so I probably didn't notice it." The Qing people thought it was not surprising that Chao Jingyou did this, and sighed softly, "Those ladies in Beidi who are as old as your Majesty, even if they are your own sisters, have How many people are not envious of the empress? Compared with your temperament at that time, Chao Jingyou was teaching her daughter, and she probably hoped that this daughter would be blessed with some empress blessings. It's just that Chao Jingyou couldn't be an empress herself, let alone This daughter of hers, she can only draw tigers instead of anti-dogs."

The noble concubine said: "At that time I hated Chao Jingyou very much, maybe it was because she didn't do well in the end, but now that I think about it, I feel calm."

Qing Ren said: "It's all because of your open-mindedness."

That's right, knowing that she's not doing well and that she's dead, she immediately ignores it. Her mother is so magnanimous.

"What you said makes me feel guilty if I continue to use Qi Luqing." The concubine smiled, leaned back a little, and said softly, "Forget it, after all, her parents are old friends of this palace. Not to mention, it's not that this palace is desperate... Turn around and hit Little Gu, tell her to take people back to the Northland, don't stay in the capital."

The Qing people said: "If Mrs. Gu refuses..."

After all, what is Gu's situation now, how can little Gu's mind not know?

Maybe for the sake of her natal family, she forced her to stay, and even tried to use Qi Luqing's arrangement as a bargaining chip?

"What kind of person is she who dares to bargain with Bengong?" Yun Fenghuang suppressed his smile and said lightly, "If she refuses, she can tell Qi Jiulu directly! If Qi Jiulu doesn't care about his own flesh and blood, naturally Bengong won't either. I can't bear to help him if I go overboard!"

After all, she has no feelings for Qi Luqing.

Willing to be merciful is nothing more than looking at the face of the girl's parents.

If Qi Jiulu didn't care about Qi Luqing, wouldn't she love this child more than Qi Jiulu?

"...Yes." The Qing people responded a little embarrassedly.

If Qi Jiulu received the news, he would definitely agree, not because he might still be chanting Yunfenghuang, but because Qi Luqing's current temper is partly due to the favor of his biological father.

How could he deliberately let his daughter be in danger?

"Gu Jue's side, and Gu's, let's make arrangements." The imperial concubine said again, "Since the New Year is approaching, and something happened to Wei He's side, even if His Majesty has plans, I'm afraid it will be a year later. I thank you How many years have the clan members been waiting here, do you want to see this family live this year happily and happily?"

So within two days, rumors spread from Qiongjiu Palace that Gu Jue intended to poison King Qin.

In fact, the original plan was for Princess Zhaoqing to come out to top the vat, but Princess Zhaoqing was provoked to find fault in the past two days, but the people who served the princess were very attentive and never gave Gu Jue any chance to murder the princess.

At this moment, King Qin, it was because, although King Qin had no intention of treating Gu Jue, this kid was a lecher.

Yun Fenghuang also suppressed him to accept people before the wedding, not even sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows. Without thinking about it, Gu Jue was just a serious concubine in front of him. , Although I didn't dare to take it seriously, I also played a few red sleeves to add fragrance.

Therefore, Gu Jue's life in Qiongjiu Palace is a bit easier, but he can also get in touch with King Qin's tea and cakes.

It's a ready-made opportunity to frame someone.

"This Gu Jue is very eloquent, and he is not good at talking." Yun Fenghuang didn't let down his vigilance just because he had the upper hand now, and raised some points in advance, "During the confrontation, you all cheer up, don't call others See the flaws. Especially the people in front of the imperial court!"

Left and right are awe-inspiring.

Who knows, after Gu Jue was passed over, he admitted straight away: "My daughter has no intentions towards King Qin, but the elders decided to send my daughter to King Qin. My daughter dare not disobey her elders, how can she not hate His Highness King Qin? If not Your Highness covets the minister's daughter, how can the minister's daughter have today? The minister's daughter hates the King of Qin, and would rather die with jade and stone!"

"..." The imperial concubine and servant who had prepared a bunch of rebuttals were silent for a moment before continuing, "The king of Qin admired you back then, but he never gave or received it privately. Instead, he asked the emperor to ask for a marriage! Zheng wife, can’t you humiliate you?! It’s just that your parents have other plans and gifted you as a concubine! If you want to hate, you should hate Gu’s family, but what have you to do with the King of Qin!”

Because Gu Jue pleaded guilty quickly, his acting skills were in place, and he gave quite reasonable reasons, the aggressive interrogation and refutation, as well as crying in front of the emperor and begging to call the shots were basically useless.

The imperial concubine was very depressed, and went into the inner hall on the pretext of having a stomachache, and immediately asked the Qing people to interrogate Gu Jue alone, what kind of medicine does this girl sell in her gourd? ? ?
