Chapter 149: Lingering Souls

What the old lady of the Gu family said is clear, and after the Gu family has been imprisoned, although the Longping uncle's mansion has been sealed up, no one was left to guard it because the utensils were emptied.

So Chen Jing ordered to go down, and quickly took the box to share with Yun Fenghuang.

Because a special person checked that there were no protective equipment such as organic poisons, she opened it directly after receiving it.

There is indeed a thick pile of records in it, all of which are related to Yun Fenghuang, Xie Wuzheng and other Xie's descendants.

Classified by name, the details are extremely detailed.

Yun Fenghuang naturally looked at Xie Wuzheng first, and she saw this cousin who always knew when to say something in front of her and treated people appropriately, which made her always feel that this was the hope of Xie's rise. In fact, it is not as good as she imagined.

He stumbled and suffered, and even got humiliated by many coping problems.

Especially when he was in Yanzhou, when Xie Wuzheng first arrived there, he was gearing up, wishing he could show his strength without putting his luggage away. Unexpectedly, the first time he made a move, he was joined by the local big family, and he was in such a mess that he almost ran back to the imperial capital without his official position.

And the words he acted at that time were also true, not at all like the usual level.

Clumsy and short-sighted.

However, Xie Wuzheng corrected it very quickly.

So even if someone knows that he seems to be confused occasionally, they dare not underestimate him.

Before he finished reading his experience in Yanzhou, Yun Fenghuang frowned: "Is this really an accidental confusion???"

Although no one is perfect, she doesn't think that Xie Wuzheng can't make mistakes, the problem is...

Since Xie Wuzheng came to the Imperial Capital, this kind of stupidity and shrewdness have been intertwined.

If you observe carefully, you will find that Xie Wuzheng has not made much progress in the past ten years.

Even judging from his actions in Yanzhou, he was even more impatient.

this……?

She skipped Xie Wuzheng's various records in Yanzhou and turned to the back.

At this time, we can see the foundation of a time-honored family like Gu's. Every once in a while, they will analyze and summarize Xie Wuzheng's records.

Obviously, Mrs. Gu also noticed the violation.

The summary of this paragraph is that they suspect that Xie Wuzheng is not capable enough to have the current reputation and means, and it is the imperial concubine who sent someone to assist him in secret.

As long as this helper is killed, and the imperial concubine has no time to make up for Xie Wuzheng, Gu believes that Xie Wuzheng will be easy to deal with.

"..." Yun Fenghuang's face was ashen, holding the paper to record, he was speechless for a long time!

Of course she didn't send Xie Wuzheng the so-called helper who was assisting secretly!

If there really is such a person under her, is it Xie Wuzheng's turn? Xie Xiaoyu is her brother who has a good relationship with her mother and siblings!

So here comes the question, who is this helper whom Gu thinks is her handwriting?

"Mother, after all, Mrs. Gu is an enemy, so please calm down." Seeing that her expression was wrong, the people of the Qing Dynasty were surprised to understand the situation by insinuating, and immediately persuaded, "These records are specially prepared by Mrs. Gu for you. Yes, it can’t be said, there is some kind of trap in it, deliberately instigating the flesh and blood?"

Yun Fenghuang regained his composure, and said in a deep voice, "I understand!"

However, thinking of Gu's suspicion, she always felt that something was wrong, frowned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Can you still recall, when you were at home, the temperament of this twenty-one brother?"

"I know, I know, but at that time my wife took over the head of the eldest house, which made the eldest lady very angry." The Qing man thought for a while and said, "So I didn't dare to openly inquire about the things in the eldest room, and they all observed through the servants. Because the 21st son is the youngest son of the big family, he didn't get a lot of attention. After all, he had a few brothers who were born under him at that time, and they were all married, and his wife was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Madam was worried about the grandson-in-law He will find excuses to help the eldest lady regain the housekeeping power, so the experience is all on the eldest son and second son of the eldest son. The attention given to the twenty-first son is not much."

"I know that Mr. Twenty-one is born well, and his studies are good, and he works very hard in his daily life, but..."

"At that time, due to his young age, he didn't have many opportunities to compete for the family business."

"If you can't make a name for yourself, life will probably be difficult after the separation."

"Perhaps it's for this reason that the eldest lady still loves him very much, and she even takes private housing subsidies in private."

"But because of this, Mr. Twenty-One was ridiculed by his elder sister-in-law twice..."

"At that time, I really didn't hear that he had any extraordinary talents and abilities, otherwise Madam would have paid more attention to him."

Yun Fenghuang sighed: "That's right, if mother thinks this person is unreliable, can she not remind me when she came to the imperial capital to see me?"

Not only did Jiang not say anything at the time, but he also taught her to win over the big house for her own use. It can be seen that in Jiang's eyes, his mother and daughter have no grievances with the big house, and it is worth turning an enemy into a jade.

This can't be blamed on Jiang's lack of intelligence and alertness, it can only be said that this is the limitation of the lintel.

The Jiang family never thought that her daughter would enter the palace, let alone be a concubine. When she presided over the Xie family's back house, her attention was of course on how to keep her status and power, and how to prevent the big house from taking this status and power. above.

Xie Wuzheng was young, so he didn't talk about marriage at all at that time, and he couldn't go to the back house to rob his aunt in person, so how could the Jiang family investigate him thoroughly?

I can get a general impression that Jiang's work is meticulous.

"Young lady still doubts that there is someone behind the twenty-first son?" The Qing people pondered for a while, quite at a loss, "But, who is this person? Ordinarily, if there is a great talent, who would be willing to be inferior to the twenty-first son?" Under? Wouldn’t it be better to go directly to the empress? Besides, Mr. Twenty-one hasn’t made any progress for many years, so don’t you get tired of those who give advice to him?”

Yun Fenghuang didn't pay attention to her words at first, but he also pondered.

Hearing this, his complexion suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"

The Qing people didn't understand what he meant, and subconsciously said: "The servant girl thinks it's a bit strange if there is such a person..."

"The last sentence just now." Yun Fenghuang interrupted her and said in a deep voice, "Say it again!"

"Mr. Twenty-one has not made any progress for many years, and the people who give him advice don't even bother him?" The Qing man said in a low voice, "Even if the close relationship between father and son has not made any progress for more than ten years, he should be outraged." ? Not to mention continuing to hide, giving advice to the twenty-one young masters?!"

Yun Fenghuang's face was overcast instantly, his eyes were murderous, his bright red lips moved slightly, and he spit out two words: "Ji! Shi!"

"...?!" The Qing people turned pale with shock, "Your Majesty, haven't they already?!"

"If the Ji Nian aristocratic family hides well, what's the problem if the ghosts of ten or twenty years linger?!" Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Besides, as you said, who would Such an idiot who hides merit and fame so deeply?! Who would choose Xuanqing Palace, who can fall into the eyes of this palace, but vote for Xie Wuzheng instead, and still be loyal to him?!"

The Qing people said in a trembling voice: "What is the twenty-one son... how dare he?! Back then... the Xie family...even though the Gu family was the most suspicious, but the Ji family... the corpse of the old man, the old lady, the old lady, but It was collected under the watchful eyes of everyone! There are many sons and daughters of the big house, grandsons and young ladies, even if the twenty-one son doesn't care about our fourth house, can he forget the big house he was born in?!"

Yun Fenghuang's throat was filled with fishy sweetness, she closed her eyes, forced herself to suppress the turmoil of anger and blood at this moment, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you just say that even if your own father and son have not made any progress in teaching for more than ten years, you can't make any progress." Will it be unbearable? Do you know that only under what circumstances will the person who gave the pointer not be angry?"

Before the Qing could speak, she had already said to herself, "Puppet."

"Just like His Majesty did back then, when he was pushed in front of the stage as a puppet, and he hasn't made any progress in more than ten years, the mastermind behind the scenes will not only not be angry, but happy to see the success!"

"It's just that His Majesty is keeping a low profile and succeeding in seizing power in one fell swoop, turning against customers!"

"And Xie Wuzheng..."

She sneered, "This idiot has been the Ji family's puppet for many years, and he has cheated me for many years by relying on his kinship!"

This is not the point, the point is that Xie Wuzheng is stupid, but the Ji family behind him is not stupid.

I also want to know that after controlling Xie Wuzheng for many years, even after painstaking planning, Yun Fenghuang has only grown suspicious of this cousin so far. How could they not prevent the noble concubine from turning his face and liquidating after seeing through?

Thirteen years... a full thirteen years!

The Ji family is not stupid, so how many excuses do they have to leave behind to restrain her?

Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang was dizzy for a while, she didn't even have time to scold Xie Wuzheng a few more words, grabbed Qingren's hand, and asked in a deep voice: "What we have done in the past two years... Xie Wuzheng How much do you know over there?"

"...Except for two near-death escapes, I haven't deliberately concealed anything else." The Qing people made some calculations, and the sky was spinning for a while, and their faces were pale.

It really can't be blamed for their empress being too careless.

After all, considering the blood relationship between Xie Wuzheng and Yun Fenghuang, the brother and sister's reliance on each other after the collapse of the Xie family, and their sympathy for the family, who would believe that Xie Wuzheng would have problems?

Besides, normally speaking, what reason would he have to betray Yun Fenghuang?

The grievances between Xie's eldest family and the fourth family did not rise to the point of life and death.

Even if Xie Wuzheng is narrow-minded, but...but... If you don't talk about feelings, but only about interests, the much-loved Concubine Min, who is still standing today, can give him less than a group of bereaved dogs? ? ?

Under such circumstances, Xie Wuzheng expressed that he needed to know some secret arrangements of Xuanqing Palace, so as to prevent conflicts between the plans of the brothers and sisters, and Yun Fenghuang would naturally not hide it.

After all, the imperial concubine has suffered from a weak family background and the low status of her father and brother since she entered the palace. She wished that her blood brothers would grow up as soon as possible and become her right-hand man.

Therefore, not only did Xie Wuzheng not hide some things from Xie Wuzheng, but even Yun Fenghuang would analyze them carefully for this cousin when he was free, break them apart and tell him why he said and did what he said.

The reason why I didn't tell this cousin about the two bitter tricks was not because I didn't trust him at all, but because the matter was serious, and I was worried that the news would leak out and cause irreparable damage.

But Yun Fenghuang has done too many things from his background to today.

Even if Xie Wuzheng doesn't know about these two things, once the rest is exposed, it will cause a huge disturbance!

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about Yun Fenghuang's attitude towards his children, which has never been hidden from Xie Wuzheng.

King Qin is a few years older now, but he is not as easy to coax as he was when he was a child.

Even though the children have a lot of trust in Yunfenghuang, Chunjia is not a cheap lamp!

If the emperor knew that she was not a real loving mother, who would suspect that Zhonggong's mother and son were wronged?

The consequences will be unimaginable!

"..." Yun Fenghuang and Qingren supported each other, walked to the side and sat down almost staggeringly, feeling out of breath for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the servant girls are all incompetent, and they failed to distinguish the traitor from the adulterer..." Qing Ren's legs softened, and he knelt down in front of her, crying loudly, "Now... now... what can I do?!"

Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips tightly, thinking quickly, and suddenly said: "Xie Wuzheng has no such value, their real target is my palace, or in other words, His Majesty!"

The Qing people were still immersed in the fear of the imminent disaster, and upon hearing this, they just looked at their master blankly.

I heard the noble concubine say in a deep voice, "If there is really someone behind Xie Wuzheng who is guiding all his words and deeds, it must be Ji, and no one else has the ability or motivation... But Xie Wuzheng is not worth Ji's trouble. What they did was nothing more than taking advantage of my palace's imperial favor and Xie Wuzheng's relationship with this palace to avoid being hunted by the Imperial City Secretary. And, like His Majesty did back then, while keeping a low profile, they planned to take revenge on His Majesty!"

"But now, even Xie Wuzheng can't come to His Majesty without seeing the sky. What good are those people ruining this palace now?"

"No matter how many things they hold on to me, at this moment, they will definitely not reveal a single word..."

"At least not when it is confirmed that this palace cannot be used by them."

Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, and his thoughts turned, "Since this is the case, then I still have a chance... and a chance..."
