Chapter 151: The Past (Part 1)

"Do you need to think about it?" Yun Fenghuang picked up the tea and blew it, and said slowly, "The reason why Ji didn't let you have a child with the eldest princess is just because he is afraid that you will use your heirs as bargaining chips to break free from them. But I don’t want you to have children with the eldest princess, it’s enough to tamper with you, what risk is there to kill His Highness Sui’an?”

"Even if she is a concubine, her parents and aunts are gone, she is also the daughter of Xiaozong, the golden branch and jade leaf of the royal family."

"I live in the palace again."

"The difficulty of doing this, the difficulty of dealing with the aftermath, I don't know how much higher it is."

"At that time, the Ji family hadn't been destroyed yet, and the empress dowager, mother empress dowager, and Yuan empress were all there, but His Majesty was already in charge, and he was eyeing the Ji family...Why did the Ji family take such a risk?"

"Could it be that they are afraid that you will break up with them after you have no children?"

She looked contemptuous, "If you had that kind of backbone, you wouldn't do such a thing!"

"They would rather take risks and attack the eldest princess than you. It's just that they don't want you to have heirs with royal blood as a life-saving talisman, and they want to use your blood to make a fuss... You are worthless, you The same is true for your bloodline. But, you are my first cousin."

"When the Xie family was flourishing, this status was more than enough than the top, and the value was not very high."

"But Xie's family has gone wrong, especially, the brothers of the same mother of the palace, and their children are all gone. You and your blood, in the eyes of the palace, are naturally reserved. It's getting expensive."

"It's just that although the Xie family is far away in the north and easy to plan, Li'er was arranged by the palace to accompany the King of Qin when she was young. Since then, she has lived in the palace, and it is difficult for the palace to watch it personally."

"In other words, it is easy to arouse my suspicion after the attack."

After all, she is not a good stubble.

When the city of Huizhou was destroyed and the Xie clan was destroyed, she felt that something was wrong.

If something went wrong with Xie Li who was raised under his lap, and Xie Xiaoyu disappeared afterwards, how could Yun Fenghuang not doubt Xie Wuzheng? !

"In short, Xie Li, you don't dare to move, but if there are no other male heirs in Sifang, even if this child is a son of a concubine, he is still my nephew after all. How can I not lean towards him?" Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "If Xie Fu forgets to pretend to be the heir of the fourth house, no matter how outstanding his aptitude is, he must be ranked behind Li'er. You are not reconciled... No, you don't have the ability and scheming, are you a remnant of the Ji family? Using you to hide your whereabouts, don't say anything, I also want Ben Gong to train their younger generation... Xie Fuwang is the child of you and Ji's daughter?"

Xie Wuzheng closed his eyes and didn't speak, it was his acquiescence.

Yun Fenghuang thought thoughtfully: "No wonder the eighteenth brother will lose his reputation... I have always been a little suspicious. After all, although the eighteenth brother is not a glorious man, he also has selfish intentions, but he is the same as my brother among the brothers. The one with the closest relationship is the one who knows the nature of this palace most clearly. Even if he misses the opportunity to honor the Lord, will this palace treat him badly? At the beginning, this palace expelled those many brothers from the imperial capital, but he was the only one who stayed. Du recommended him to be Cui Wan's disciple because he made up his mind to cultivate him well. At that time, he had only been in the imperial capital for a few years? But why worry?"

"Besides, he and Cousin Jiang are childhood sweethearts. Even if Cousin Jiang relies on the love and favor of my palace and mother and refuses to bow to him, the accumulated anger for many years may make him hurt."

"But how long did it take for them to fall out?"

"My cousin is still pregnant, and gave birth to his eldest son..."

"Although my Xie family has a prosperous population, I have always attached great importance to offspring."

"Brother Shiba grew up in such an environment. Normally, no matter how eager he is for quick success, it is difficult for him to make up his mind."

"I guess it was Ji's private instigation and guidance?"

"After all, with the eighteenth brother, who is the same mother and brother, even if you are a son-in-law, in my heart, you will never surpass him... And at that time, Xiao Cui only gave birth to a girl, she was young, and her body was good. If there is a slight delay and the eighteenth brother has a legitimate son to stay, then even if you let Xie Fuwang succeed in pretending to be the tenth brother's illegitimate son, here in this palace, it will be difficult to compare with the eighteenth brother's legitimate son..."

As the first daughter of the Xie family, Yun Fenghuang inherited the family's concept of a clear lineage.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't have a son-in-law to stay, if there were, no matter how talented Xie Fuwang was, he had to rely on it.

The remnants of the Ji family deliberately beat her to the bone, so naturally they would not allow these people who were definitely ahead of Xie Wuzheng and Xie Fuwang in her mind to live.

"...that's how it is." Xie Wuzheng said in a hoarse voice without opening his eyes, "Your Majesty, at this time, can still talk to my ministers calmly... so I know that in this life, I can't compare to you." All these years, although I have enjoyed the wealth, power and status that I never dared to dream of before, I have not been at ease for a day. I am worried that after the remnants of the Ji family succeed, they will kill the donkey; Clear the door."

"Sometimes I regret it very much, I regret the mistake I made..."

"But sometimes, I feel that the wealth and power of these years, even if it was stolen and cheated, is still worth it."

"If I hadn't chosen to cooperate with the Ji family back then, enjoying these opportunities would never have anything to do with me!"

"I can understand doing crazy things in pursuit of wealth and honor." Yun Fenghuang looked at him and said softly, "It's just that it's okay for you to plot against this palace, the eighteenth brother, and the fourth wife, but how come He doesn't even care about his biological parents and the heirs of the big house? Everyone in the Xie family, except my fourth room has some grievances with you, have other people ever wronged you? Not to mention the grandparents above, then But also your grandparents."

"Back when the news of my palace's favor came back, only my mother felt sorry for me in the deep palace, and every step of the family was startled. Grandpa and grandma, but they only wanted me to support the family, especially your first wife..."

"They asked their mother to take care of the back house. Although they have swept away the face of the eldest family, they have never treated your eldest family badly. For this reason, they have always favored your family."

"The grandparents are all at that age, and they still have to suffer from the disaster of family overthrow."

"If it was done by outsiders, it can only be said that Xie's fortune is declining, no matter how painful it is, I will recognize it."

"It's the head of you, a beast."

"I've always felt that I'm being cruel."

"Seeing brother twenty-one today, I know what disloyalty, filial piety, and unrighteousness are. It's not as good as a beast!"

Xie Wuzheng smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty scolded me very much, and I also feel that I am not a human being... But a person like you, Madam, has always been smooth sailing. Because of your extraordinary intelligence, even if you meet someone, it is impossible for ordinary people to recover. Even in such a situation, you can always rely on luck or your own means to turn bad luck into good fortune. But Chen's mother is not, and neither is Chen. You will not understand that people like Chen want to climb up, but they don't have The sadness of ability. Do you still remember that when the news of His Royal Highness Sui'an's infertility came out, I swore to be a couple with His Highness for the rest of my life, and I didn't care about the children, and I was kicked out of the imperial capital?"

Yun Fenghuang looked at him expressionlessly.

Xie Wuzheng didn't care, and said to himself: "...for a while, the minister and His Highness were in the north, and at that time, I entrusted the marriage of my sister and my sister. But, my mother refused."

"Before that, I was sitting on pins and needles every day, feeling sorry for you all the time."

"Always worried that one day it will harm you."

"But your refusal made me understand that even if you are my direct cousin, before I show enough weight, I am worthless in your eyes."

"Just like what I said just now, if I confess to you, at most you think I'm a good person."

"But you won't entrust him with important responsibilities and give him what he wants just because you think he is a good person."

"You want capable people."

"But the minister is not."

"If I'm willing to face my own mediocrity calmly, I won't have anything to do with the Ji family in the first place."

"I am unwilling to be mediocre and unable to shine. The Ji family has evil intentions, but they at least gave me a chance."

"But ma'am, I won't give it."

"From that day on, I made up my mind to cooperate with them..."

When he said this, his eyes were red, and he said in a sad voice, "I know that I am not as good as a beast, but I also want to say that I really don't know that the Ji family has been destroyed at that time, and I can still plan to destroy the city of Huizhou." He even used this to slaughter Xie's family!!!"

"The minister is no longer a thing. As the empress said, even if you are willing to use the four houses as stepping stones, even if you are willing to sacrifice the people in other houses, the minister will not have the heart to treat the big house!"

"That's why when I received the news of the Xie clan's demise, I was truly devastated!"

"Really?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, "Later, you immediately doubted Mrs. Gu, and you persuaded me to doubt Mrs. Gu with your eloquence... Could it be an idea you came up with yourself?!"

Xie Wuzheng wailed loudly: "This belongs to the minister of the Ji family! This belongs to the minister of the Ji family! They said... they said... If the eldest house is safe, but the other houses are all dead and injured, the palace of the empress may be destroyed immediately. Will doubt Chen! And when the time comes, even if Chen is the mother's direct brother, will the mother let him go? And... and the big house is gone except for Chen! No more! Ji's daughter gave birth to Chen Several heirs, if the minister is gone, they will not be able to live! The minister thought, in order to continue Dafang's blood, the minister will always have to drag out his life..."

"If uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters-in-law of Dafang know about it, do you think they would like to have you as an animal to continue Dafang's blood?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, and said lightly, "Forget it, you are greedy for life and afraid of death There's no need to find a reason. I don't have the patience to listen to your nonsense."

She paused, and said, "Over the years, many confusing and confusing things have happened in the front and rear palaces, and the things that finally disappeared. Before this palace was also confused, but now it seems that many of them are caused by the remnants of the Ji family? During this period, They must have played under the banner of this palace, right? Otherwise..."

The imperial concubine sneered slightly, "This palace is blinded by blood relationship, it's fine, Your Majesty is not easy to fool!"

"The reason why you were able to muddle through, how much reputation did you ruin my palace?!"
