Chapter 22 Meeting at Kui Ye

"My servant, Jian Tao." Jian Tao bowed again, pursing his lips and smiling slightly, "By the order of the noble concubine, I came here to convey the intention of forming an alliance."

"Alliance?" Yun Fenghuang murmured, "This is really an accident for this palace. The imperial concubine is the direct niece of the great general Hushi, her status is noble, and she is second only to the empress in the palace. She is still pregnant now. The future is simply limitless... With such an identity, why do you condescend to form an alliance with me?"

Moreover, "Since the imperial concubine has the idea of ​​forming an alliance, what happened this morning? Now that no one else is here, don't tell me that the mustard juice is really made by Yun Ronghua!"

Yun Qingman was wronged in this matter, Yun Fenghuang knew very well in his heart, after all, she was under her control, she didn't know what she did or didn't do, why did she bring him to Xuanqing Palace?

Of course, she didn't care much about Yun Qingman being charged with this crime, and it could even be said that Yun Qingman's demotion was exactly what she wanted.

The reason why I have been defending this cheap sister before is mainly because I am not sure about the plans of the people behind the scenes, and I am worried that I will be involved; secondly, I continue to maintain a harmonious relationship with Yun Qingman and the Yun family as a family.

As for the real culprit of this matter, Yun Fenghuang felt that even if the imperial concubine did not do it alone, she must be one of the important participants.

Otherwise, how dare Jia Jieyu take Huanxier out to make a raft?

Moreover, the noble concubine who had been in the Yanlan Palace suddenly went out to pay her respects, so she happened to run into the scene where Yun Fenghuang and Jia Jieyu were fighting?

Concubine Zheng's move Yun Fenghuang consciously understands, after all, the concubine has been very low-key during pregnancy, especially with Yuan Lianniang who keeps making troubles, she looks more virtuous. It's rare for her to ask for two people, and it's fine if the queen didn't agree to her, and she directly gave it to Yun Fenghuang. It's human nature for a pregnant woman to be angry but want to vent her anger.

When she came back from Yanfu Palace, she summoned the people below to discuss, and she was thinking about how to get revenge, when Jian Tao suddenly appeared, but Yun Fenghuang was somewhat uncertain what the imperial concubine was planning.

"Of course the matter of the fenugreek juice was not done by Yun Ronghua. What the imperial concubine means is that this matter is the sincerity of Yanlan Palace." Jian Tao respectfully said, "As for the details, although His Majesty came to Xuanqing Palace tonight, but Probably not resting in the Huanhua Hall. If Empress Jieyu is willing, the empress can come in person and have an interview with Empress Jieyu."

"Oh?" Yun Fenghuang raised her eyebrows slightly, she was about to ask what kind of sincerity she had in attacking the people in her palace, but if a pregnant concubine came to Xuanqing Palace in person at Kui Ye, this act was indeed sincere...

After a few thoughts, she nodded, "Then I will be waiting for the imperial concubine in Huanhua Hall."

After all, Yun Fenghuang really didn't think of a way to solve the matter of that prescription.

No matter what the imperial concubine wants to do, she can't avoid it directly.

After dismissing Jiantao, Yun Fenghuang recalled the waiters, and asked about Yun Qingman's surveillance situation. She was very dissatisfied with Chen Zhu: "You don't even know that Yun Ronghua's face cream for the pickers is mixed with fenugreek juice. !? The side hall is only a few steps away from the Huanhua Hall of the palace? If you can attack Yun Ronghua this time, will you be able to manipulate the basic necessities of the palace next time?!"

Chen Zhucheng pleaded guilty in trepidation, repeatedly promising that such things would never happen... Yun Fenghuang finally calmed down, and waved him to go down: "Think carefully about how to do what I ordered, if there is really no such thing Brain, then replace it with something that can do it!"

Before, she thought that she could figure it out slowly, but Chen Zhu's ability was not good enough, and the advantage was that she had no other backing, and she had to rely on her to keep her position, so her loyalty was guaranteed.

However, Concubine Zheng's grasp made Yun Fenghuang feel a sense of crisis, and he felt that only loyalty was not enough, but ability was needed after all.

It wasn't just Chen Zhu who was affected by her change of consideration, Xijing Xile Liuhong including Nian Xuan and the four close court ladies were also severely beaten!

The waiters all suspected that Jiantao must have said something very important when she came over, but Yun Fenghuang didn't reveal anything to them at all, and they didn't dare to ask more, so they had to admit their mistake while thinking about it in their hearts.

It didn't take long for the imperial dining room to deliver dinner—in fact, those above Jieyu are qualified to set up a small kitchen, and Yun Fenghuang is no exception, but she just moved here, so all kinds of things were delayed. Besides, even if she has a cook at the moment, she probably won't be able to compare with the imperial cook who specializes in serving the emperor.

Yun Fenghuang asked Yan Yin to wait for the emperor's attendants to watch the palace servants set the meal, and went into the inner room by himself to call Emperor Chunjia.

The emperor said before that the nap was just to avoid her, but after all these days, he was tired and fell asleep on the crooked couch. Yun Fenghuang went in now, and what he saw was Emperor Chunjia's sleeping face. When this person is awake, he is generally gentle and calm, and when he is asleep, the slightly frowning brows reveal a little trouble.

Yun Fenghuang lifted up the curtain and saw it for a moment, then she didn't make a sound, she admired it silently for a while, and felt much more comfortable in her heart - it's good to know that this palace is not the only one who is having a hard time in this palace - then she started to do it with a smile Go push: "Your Majesty, dinner is here, get up quickly!"

Before she touched the emperor, the emperor's long eyelashes moved slightly, and she noticed something abnormal, which made Yun Fenghuang feel more comfortable. Maybe the emperor hasn't slept in An Sheng all these years? Or would you be so vigilant?

After comforting himself in this way, after having dinner with the emperor and chatting with Shiguo over tea for a while, he respectfully sent him to Linxing Yi Xingen. Yun Fenghuang thought about the next Zheng Concubine, I finally feel a little relieved.

Those who really live in this palace are more comfortable, I am afraid that even one hand is not enough.

She is like this, the emperor is like this, Concubine Zheng...it must not be much better, otherwise why bother to seek her for an alliance?

That being the case, although giving people a handle is passive, it is not out of the question.

So after a while at night, Concubine Zheng Gui in disguise appeared in Huanhua Hall, and she saw Mao Jieyu who was as if nothing had happened: "Young lady, please come here at night."

"Mao Jieyu don't have to worry..." This sentence was stuck in the imperial concubine's throat, so she couldn't utter it.

The reason why the imperial concubine asked Jiantao to mention the child-avoiding medicine as soon as she came over was that besides not allowing Yunfenghuang to refuse to meet, she also wanted to take the lead and deal a psychological blow to Yunfenghuang so that she could calmly gain the upper hand.

Although the noble concubine felt that she already had the upper hand regardless of her status or power, she observed Yun Fenghuang's actions since entering the palace, but she was not the kind of master who would easily bow her head. Originally, the imperial concubine thought that such a big matter as the prescription for avoiding children was enough for ordinary people to panic. She had a high opinion of Yun Fenghuang, so that she would not be confused because of it, but she didn't expect to be so calm?

Not to mention being willing to be at a disadvantage, it's a matter of course that they are on equal footing!

Concubine Zheng turned her mind and sat down with a smile: "Mao Jieyu, I have liked you very much since you first entered the palace."

Yun Fenghuang showed a little surprise: "I am stupid, how dare I be loved by my empress?"

"You don't need to think too much, I'm telling the truth." Concubine Zheng said softly, "Because, I can see the shadow of my uncle when he was young in you."

The uncle she was talking about was, of course, the Hussar General Zheng Gu, the current pillar of the Quan Huan faction.

"Your Majesty is absurd, how dare I compare myself to the General?" Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, "My Majesty said this, I don't even know what to do."

Since you praised me like that when you first came up, I'm even more worried that you will put forward unimaginable conditions, okay?

Concubine Zheng heard what she meant, she smiled, and said calmly: "Jieyu, don't misunderstand, I came here because of what Jiantao said, and formed an alliance with Jieyu, so naturally it won't be harmful to Jieyu."

The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes slightly, "It can even be said that she came here with good intentions towards Jieyu!"

"Your Majesty, I just don't understand, why should I treat you so differently?" Yun Fenghuang didn't ask her what kind of kindness she had, but asked humbly, "Could it be that I just remind you of the Great General?" The shadow of my youth?"

If you dare to say this, I can't believe it!

"I'm pregnant now." The imperial concubine expressed her understanding of her doubts, but she didn't answer directly. Instead, she stroked her swollen belly and said calmly, "The imperial physician that my uncle helped arrange told me a while ago that this child... Even if it is born, it will either not survive, or it will be a freak."

"..." Even though Yun Fenghuang felt complacent, he couldn't help being dumbfounded after hearing this. After a while, he frowned and asked, "Who did it?"

That's the question, but she felt that she had already guessed the real culprit. If it wasn't for the Ji family, with Zheng Guifei's backing, what would she have to worry about? Moreover, the dignified concubine put down her figure to seek an alliance with herself...

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that as expected, it is good to pretend to be the queen, and she has to be taken care of normally, and the weight of betrayal will be more important, but... Between the noble concubine and the queen, who is it more cost-effective for her to sell to whom?

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the concubine shaking her head: "I don't know."

Yun Fenghuang asked in surprise, "I don't know?"

"If you know, I will come to you at night?" Concubine Zheng asked back, "Or do you think that even if the Ji family did this, I will only suffer from being dumb?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang made sense after thinking about it, secretly thought, could it be that the noble concubine is unlucky? Or is Emperor Chunjia not in good health? She was thinking about whether to say something comforting, the imperial concubine said again: "I don't know who did it, but someone must have done it! Because just two months ago, the imperial doctor said that my child is fine. Son, very strong. But during this period of time, not only the child, but even this palace feels that it is not as good as before."

She dipped some tea on the table with her fingers, and gently wiped off the powder on her face, revealing a yellower and duller complexion than Yun Fenghuang saw in the daytime, "Many people say that it is inevitable to have a bad complexion during pregnancy. I also thought so before, and the imperial physician and the people around me were very careful, so I never doubted it. After the imperial physician said that the child is no longer good... I secretly investigated the Yanlan Palace two days ago, but there was still nothing!"

The noble concubine sighed: "You have heard about the previous events in the palace. Concubine Shu and Yue Jieyu were both pregnant but not born. I originally thought that the empress dowager had just become an heir at the beginning of the year. However, my status in this palace is also higher than the two of them, so I still have blessings... Now it seems that I have thought too much."

Yun Fenghuang pondered and said: "My concubine feels the same about what happened to my empress... But, my concubine speaks lightly, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help my empress?"

"Do you think Bengong wants you to help find the real culprit?" The imperial concubine smiled, without any sarcasm, and said calmly, "The child is my child, and of course I will come to avenge my hatred in person. Slow down Why make things difficult for you when I have no clue, even if I have a clue, I would do it with my own hands... I said I came here with good intentions, so I won’t fool you like the queen.”

She pointed in the direction of the side hall, the one where Yun Qingman lived, "Let's be honest, Mao Jieyu, since you have already brought concubine Shu to Xuanqing Palace, how do you go next? Calculating. But I am sure that without my help, you will have a more difficult and dangerous journey. Most importantly, your goal may not be achieved! After all, Concubine Shu and Duke Yi are not vegetarians! "

When Yun Fenghuang heard her mentioning Yun Qingman, he frowned slightly, and immediately asked: "What do you mean by your empress?"
