Chapter 23 So the Problem Is Still
"You think I'm cheating on you?" Concubine Zheng laughed dumbfounded, "I just said that you have the shadow of Uncle Bengong when he was young...but you don't seem to know how Uncle Bengong got to where he is today of?"
Yun Fenghuang really didn't know.
However, Concubine Zheng didn't intend to explain her doubts at this moment, she just said casually, "I don't know how you got Yun Ronghua into your palace, but you broke the tacit understanding by relying on 'children are difficult' Concubine Feng, not only will it be extremely difficult to go further, the most important thing is that you don't have any particularly reliable support to guarantee your safety in this palace."
"Today's event is a clear example!"
Today, everyone, including Yun Fenghuang, is most suspicious of the noble concubine, but everyone has a tacit understanding, and no one mentions the noble concubine Zheng.
And Xue Xiaoge repeatedly blamed Concubine Shu, but was repeatedly rejected and warned by her first cousin's first cousin, and by Empress Ji—is it because Empress Ji didn't want to target Concubine Shu? Did the queen deliberately lose face to her relatives? Is it the queen who really believes that concubine Shu is innocent?
Of course not.
The problem is that Concubine Shu is standing behind Concubine Yi, who is a staunch royalist faction. With the emperor already in charge, when the entire Ji family chooses to retreat, wait and see, or hesitate temporarily, the empress cannot rashly let Concubine Shu be charged with any crimes. .
Otherwise, it would be difficult not to be interpreted by the previous court as Ji's plan to start from the harem, which would trigger a new round of conflict.
So even if the evidence on the surface is convincing, Yun Qingman didn't have any particularly strong excuses, and even the flaws in the words almost dragged Concubine Shu in... In the end, under the hint of the queen, a group of people ordered a court lady to take the blame. Yun Qingman just downgraded the meaning by one level.
That's how it went.
At least before a major change occurred in the temple, the truth of the scene was that the concubines were all good, and the demons were all low-level people.
This is the tacit understanding in the palace of the country, everyone has a backer, so when you fight back and forth, you have to rely on the backer, or when it comes to the juncture of life and death, winning or losing does not involve the main position itself, so as not to fall into an uncontrollable situation.
Yun Fenghuang, who was concubine after trying so hard to prevent her son, lacked the confidence.
At present, the turmoil of the summer banquet has not completely subsided, and the future of the emperor is also unknown. In addition, the empress needs a concubine to help her after Ji Muzi is reduced to a concubine, so her position is relatively stable.
But he also had to put aside his resentment towards Chao Jingyou for the time being, and tried to use the alliance of all the tribes in the north to gain weight for himself.
But just like what Yun Fenghuang was worried about before, the alliance of the northern tribes is definitely not something that can be achieved in a short time.
The routine fighting for favor and the fact that mothers are more important than children will not work in the harem of the imperial court.
With no family background, life and death are just in the thought of a high-ranking concubine.
With a family background, no matter how many evil things they do, such as Ji Muzi and Yuan Niangniang, at most they retreat for a while, and when they turn around, they return to a high position, and it is only a blink of an eye.
Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and remained silent for a while before he smiled softly: "What? Is the empress planning to let the concubine pay homage to her adoptive father again?"
When she said that, her mind turned, and she quickly thought about the way to refuse.
That's right, Zheng Gu's status and power are very secure now, and after worshiping him as a foster father, he can quickly make up for his shortcomings. Regardless of the reputation of Quan Huan, when it comes to benefits, it is even higher than that cheap ally of Gong Xiangxiao.
But it is also because Zheng Ju's status and power are extraordinary, he is a person who can wrestle with the regent, and is not comparable to Gong Xiangxiao, but Yun Fenghuang doesn't want such a cheap father.
The ally of Gongxiangxiao was forced to do so, and she really needed such a palace snake at that time. The most important thing is...
Yun Fenghuang felt that Gong Xiangxiao was not threatening.
It's just a son of the clan who is not in power, even with the name of the regent's son, Yun Fenghuang is now promoted to Jieyu, so he doesn't care much about his threats. On the contrary, Gong Xiangxiao was a little worried that she would turn her face and deny anyone after eating it up...
But Zheng Gu is not.
Let’s not talk about this person’s power, but let’s talk about this person’s scheming, from a humble family who was sold into the palace from a poor family, he became a general of hussars step by step. As a character, Yun Fenghuang felt that he was enough to play tricks with him when his brain was flooded.
If you can't play tricks, you will be eaten to death...
It's better to take life and death lightly, live as you love, and live happily anyway.
"How is it possible?" Just as Yun Fenghuang's idea was gradually developing towards the direction of death, Zheng Guifei laughed again, "Mao Jieyu has her own parents, and she must have been very wronged when she was forced to recognize the Yun family as her parents. Although Gong is not a kind-hearted person, he can't do such a thing!"
Calmly stepped on the Duke of Yi's mansion, and replied, "What I mean is that Jieyu wants to raise the prince born by Yun Ronghua, so as to coerce the Duke of Yi's mansion... This move is certainly ingenious and admirable, but As long as Concubine Shu does not die, there will be hidden dangers after all! After all, apart from other things, as long as Concubine Shu also gives birth to the emperor's heir, or raises the emperor's heir, then Yun Ronghua's offspring will definitely not be as important as Concubine Shu's heirs by the Duke of Yiguo! "
The imperial concubine slightly raised her eyebrows, and said with a light smile, "If Mao Jieyu's plan is to go smoothly, Concubine Shu must die!"
"..." Yun Fenghuang looked at her, puzzled, but horrified in his heart. Although these words were not all her intentions, they already took up a lot!
The problem is, this plan is so important, she never told anyone!
Even forcing Concubine Shu to put Yun Qingman in Xuanqing Palace with the matter of Yunqike, it was under the banner of revenge.
People like Xi Le thought that she wanted to humiliate Yun Qingman better and more conveniently, so they brought her here. For this reason, Chen Zhu specially told the servants in the side hall to make troubles with Yun Qingman if they had nothing to do, in order to please the master.
Concubine...how could she know? !
"...I don't understand what the imperial concubine is talking about?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, but he didn't admit it, but continued to pretend to be confused with a hoarse voice.
The noble concubine smiled, with a deep meaning: "Yue Jieyu is Your Majesty's darling, and her status is no less than Jieyu's. When Jieyu first entered the palace, in terms of status, seniority, family background, and background, how can she compare with her?" She? Even if she doesn't want to suffer the slightest grievance, she returned all the humiliation of Yuan Niangniang on the spot, and it is still difficult to turn over!"
"Rong Bengong is telling the truth: Jieyu will retaliate for her grievances. If Yun Ronghua really offends you, she offends you so much that she wants to come to Xuanqing Palace to deal with her...how can Yun Ronghua be so stable these days? Oh , don’t say that she’s actually having a bad time in the side hall, you and I are both leaders, and we know all too well about such trivial matters, they’re nothing at all! If you’re being serious, you’re going to be in trouble, I’m afraid life will be worse than death soon!”
"It's a handkerchief after all." Yun Fenghuang flapped his round fan, and calmly retorted, "Qingman is no match for Yuan Lianniang?"
The imperial concubine chuckled lightly: "What about the Chao family? Then Chao Jingyou and Jieyu grew up together, even though their relationship has not always been harmonious, they are the township party after all, aren't they?"
Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "The sister of the concubine's concubine was murdered in that lowly servant's family. Of course, there is such a grudge, and of course it can't be compared with Qingman!"
"..." The imperial concubine didn't expect her to be so quibbling now, so she laughed and said, "Then I will give you another piece of evidence: Jieyu originally had no intention of entering the palace, and she entered the palace by mistake because of Yun's calculations. Difficult...According to what I know about Jieyu, even if I don't want all the members of the Yun family to have children and grandchildren, at least I want to make Yun Ronghua who is already in the palm of my hand impossible to conceive? But..."
Not only did Yun Fenghuang not do this, but even while sending someone to monitor Yun Qingman, he used the prescription passed down to Nianxuan by the Jiang family to treat her calmly.
Well, the direction is the kind that is suitable for pregnancy and suitable children.
"... Originally, I thought that although my plan was a bit whimsical, it was not impossible to succeed." Hearing what the concubine said, Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, finally showing a touch of helplessness, and sighed, "But now the concubine said It's like witnessing the ins and outs with your own eyes... After all, the concubine's background is too low, her vision is too narrow, and she underestimates the palace! It's worth not mentioning this matter."
If she admits it as soon as she comes up, although it is expected by the imperial concubine, there will be no surprises or surprises.
Even if the imperial concubine Zheng is such a city, she couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said with a smile: "Why should Mao Jieyu be disheartened? I said it, your plan is very good. Gong is here to help you!"
Yun Fenghuang pondered and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to...?"
While speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Zheng Guifei's lower abdomen.
Concubine Zheng nodded calmly: "My child is already like this. Although I am incompetent as a mother and concubine, I don't even know who my enemy is...but I can't waste my efforts during these few months of pregnancy!"
"Your Majesty is so loving, I really don't know what to say." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and then said slowly, "I'm just pardoning my frank words: Yue Jieyu also had a miscarriage back then, didn't she also have a pregnancy this time? In the body? The empress and the heir in the womb may not have a fate yet, wait a few days and take care of them, is there more hope than a concubine?"
It's not like you can't give birth!
You said that you think that the child in your belly is useless anyway to frame Concubine Shu, even if it is to frame the queen, it is understandable, but why should you come to help me because of this? !
"Because I'm already twenty-three years old, although I haven't reached the age of infertility, but..." Concubine Zheng looked at the young concubine not far away, Yun Fenghuang's fair and flawless skin glowed faintly under the candlelight. The brilliance, that kind of youthful brilliance is beyond the reach of the best cosmetics in the world.
However, what the imperial concubine envied more was the hardness and sharpness of her brows and eyes.
This is the fresh energy that only young people have, full of vitality without the slightest stagnation.
The noble concubine sighed quietly, "Jieyu has a firm mind. When she first entered the palace, she dared to euthanize her offspring. It is not only a step to advance, but also to avoid such sad things like this palace...It's a pity that this palace was not as clear-headed as you were back then."
She lowered her head and caressed her lower abdomen, and said softly, "For Your Majesty, this is a heir that he didn't expect, and even had to appear. I don't blame him, after all, he didn't have any affection for me. In that case, having a prince may not be a good thing for him... But for me, the palace is so long, how precious is it to have a relative who is related by blood? In the past few months, my palace has been really I am both happy and terrified...Obviously, this palace has done everything possible to be as safe as possible..."
The concubine let out a sigh of relief, "Jieyu is young, it is difficult for you to understand Bengong's feelings when you are not as old as Bengong. In short, I don't want to go through similar things again——If I had known today, Bengong I'd rather learn from Jieyu and give up the idea of giving birth by myself early on, and directly adopt someone else's child who was born after a narrow escape, it's easy, and you don't need to be heartbroken when you lose it!"
She said these words very calmly, but the emotions hidden in them were deep and unpredictable.
However, Yun Fenghuang's hard heart was not moved at all, and he said lightly: "I still don't understand."
Do you think it’s too painful to conceive and give birth by yourself if something goes wrong, I have no problem! It's not that your Yanlan Palace doesn't have people in the palace, let them give birth, and it's only natural for them to adopt you after giving birth...Then the question is still: Why did you go to Xuanqing Palace to invest in me? ? ?
