Chapter 71: Zhenxi

When Emperor Chunjia walked in, he happened to see a group of palace people panicking around Yunfenghuang: "Your Majesty! What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?"

His eyes darkened, he was about to explode, when he saw Empress Ji coming up to greet him, he swallowed the words immediately, and asked in a slow voice: "Mao Jieyu is not feeling well?"

Nian Xuan hurriedly came over to salute, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, my mother was so sad that Concubine Shu was so sad that she passed out!"

"My sisters, it's no wonder that's the case." The emperor said softly, "Forget it, the queen is in charge here, so you can send Mao Jieyu back to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, lest she wake up and see the mourning hall later, and she can't bear it anymore." live."

It's just that not long after Yun Fenghuang returned to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, the emperor sent Yan Yin over and told her to "recover well".

It can be seen that the emperor was still angry at her going out without authorization in spite of her own ban, but it was inconvenient to show it in front of Empress Ji—no matter how deep the grievances between Yun Fenghuang and Duke Yi's mansion were, from the perspective of outsiders, from the patriarchal etiquette In fact, she is also Yun's daughter, she and Yun's are one.

Originally, because Concubine Shu pushed down the concubine under the eyes of everyone, the Yun family had a miscarriage, but now she is very passive.

If the emperor reprimanded Yun Fenghuang in public again, exposed her behavior of violating the oral order, and spread the news, wouldn't the Yun family be more and more convinced of the crime of teaching her daughter inappropriately?

So he can only endure, not only endure, but also take the initiative to help Yun Fenghuang cover up the past.

... I don't know if Yi Guogong's family would have regretted including her in the genealogy and sent her to the palace if they knew this day earlier?

Regardless of whether they regretted it or not, anyway, Yun Fenghuang is relying on them now, taking over the whole family.

"Since it is His Majesty's personal order, I should obey it." Yun Fenghuang waved his fan calmly, and said to Yan Yin, "It's just that Sister Concubine Shu is the elder sister of my family. What happens to her, I will I'm sorry that I couldn't be there to deliver a ride in person, if my sister's murder of the emperor's heir has not been settled yet, this... I don't believe that my sister is the kind of person who is cruel and cruel to children!"

Yan Yin lowered his head and smiled apologetically: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, Your Majesty is just talking to the Empress about this matter, there will be a result soon, when the time comes, I will definitely send someone to report to you."

Yun Fenghuang was satisfied: "Thank you, father-in-law."

Since Ji's show of goodwill to Duke Yi's mansion was unintentionally ruined, it is better not to do one thing, and even to do good things for Concubine Shu's posthumous name - just now Empress Ji made it clear that Concubine Shu is not necessarily He really murdered the noble concubine, obviously with the intention of rehabilitating Concubine Shu.

Yun Fenghuang felt that she had always been magnanimous, although Yi Guogong's government cheated on her, she deserved to die, but Concubine Shu was dead, so she didn't care about Concubine Shu.

Well, it's just Concubine Shu, and the rest of Duke Yi's mansion is still alive, so the debt still has to be settled.

The emperor and empress reached an agreement, and the result of this matter came out very quickly: Zhao Baolin was promoted to the rank of Queen Cheng, and he was indeed arranged to be taken care of by Concubine Zheng.

Where does Concubine Zheng, who is still in confinement and sad, have the spare energy to take care of other pregnant women at this moment?

Obviously, this newly promoted Chenggui and the unformed child in her belly are all compensation for the imperial concubine.

In addition, the Zheng family all had rewards, and even Zheng Fengyi, who had just escaped from the case, had an extra official title.

In this way, the sufferer was soothed, Concubine Shu did not intend to murder the emperor's heir, but because the mountain road was slippery, she accidentally stepped on the hem of the concubine's skirt, which caused the concubine to have a miscarriage—as for why Concubine Shu swallowed gold and committed suicide , that is of course because Concubine Shu's character is too kind.

After all, although she didn't do it on purpose, the little prince is really gone!

Concubine Shu's guilt, uneasiness, sadness, and grief... plus the fact that the concubine cried day and night, and the emperor never came back, this beautiful and kind-hearted concubine Shu, who is so delicate, how can she bear it? I couldn't think about it for a while, so I just went.

Since the empress dowager and others were all on the side of the palace, it was not easy for the emperor to leave his elders and Manshan harem to go back to the imperial capital to deal with funeral affairs just for a concubine Shu.

In the end, concubine Shu was bestowed the posthumous title of "Zhenxi", and Yunqi Ke Fu Ling returned to the imperial capital and was buried according to the etiquette of the second half.

On the day when Concubine Zhenxishu's coffin left for the palace, Yun Fenghuang didn't go there either, so she only asked Nian Xuan to go to the coffin to cry on her own behalf, and said to the public that Mao Jieyu was in too much grief, and she had been dizzy for the past few days. I really can't get out.

Believe it or not, the people around heard the words, but they all said that the Yun sisters were deeply in love - but it was Yun Qingman who really cried and fainted several times.

It is said that when she was keeping vigil in the middle of the night, she said to the dowry maid: "The two sisters came into the palace well, and in a blink of an eye, my sister is gone. Tell me how to explain when I see my mother and sister-in-law in the future?"

"What does this mean? People always say that the mother is also a sister, but now they have become two sisters?" After hearing this, Xi Le murmured to herself, "If she hadn't been a demon, she would have made Duke Yi's sons and daughters jealous. Empress, why did empress come to this palace? What are you pretending to do now!"

Yun Fenghuang didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "I used to rely on Concubine Shu's sister to live well, even if it fell into the hands of this palace, at least there is a sister who can count on, now that sister is gone, she If you cry twice, then cry twice, I still have some capacity for this."

Anyway, the relationship between the sisters is so good, when Yun Qingman gives birth to an heir for her position, preferably a male heir, and then sends them to the sisters for a reunion, she should be very grateful to herself, right?

I don't know if Yun Qingman knew about Yun Fenghuang's magnanimous statement. She came to Yun Fenghuang after noon that day, fumbling her request, can you tell the empress for help? Let's go to the imperial capital to see Concubine Shu off for the last time?

"You have been with Sister Concubine Shu for the past few days, haven't you already delivered it?" Yun Fenghuang said to her kindly after hearing this, "It's Your Majesty... You shouldn't thank you for neglecting these days His majesty's sympathy?"

Yun Qingman opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say for a while, she was born very well, but she was overwhelmed by Yun Fenghuang purely in terms of appearance; purely in terms of family background, she was overwhelmed by Wei Hengyan and Xue Xiaoge; Talking about personality... It is really difficult for a young and gentle, shy and taciturn woman to show herself in this palace.

Especially when Yun Fenghuang was such a flirtatious person who would steal the limelight, the emperor went to Tongxia Palace several times, except for the sleeping servants on shifts, he almost never took the initiative to call her.

What qualifications does she have to snub the emperor?

But Yun Fenghuang dismissed her without waiting for her to say anything, and turned around and sent someone to call the emperor, saying that it was Concubine Shu's own sister who didn't think about tea and food, and hoped that the emperor would take the time to come and comfort her.

When the palace servants arrived at Xingxintang, the emperor was discussing matters with Deng Chengzhai. After listening to the palace servants' report, he was perfunctory, and when they left, he said to himself: "I almost forgot that Concubine Shu's sister is still in Maojieyu's hands." under."

It's called Yan Yin, "Find a way to get people out of the Xuanqing Palace."

But Deng Chengzhai advised him to stand still: "Your Majesty, I think that since the empress intends to reconcile with the Yun family, she will not let this opportunity go. The empress has always presided over the harem. It is convenient to do this, and it can also prevent the outside court from talking about your majesty's favoritism." The Yun family, the little prince has only just left, and he is looking for an opportunity to promote the daughter of the Yun family."

In fact, even if Empress Ji doesn't want to reconcile with the Yun family, she will try to elevate Yun Qingman's position at this moment, so that she can get out of Yun Fenghuang's control-it's not that the queen discovered Yun Fenghuang's plan, but The queen knew early in the morning that Yun Fenghuang had no good intentions in bringing Yun Qingman to Xuanqing Palace.

Yun Fenghuang was hers before, and Yun's sisters were the queen's thorn in the flesh, so she knew that Yun Fenghuang had been torturing Yun Qingman a lot, and she didn't care.

Now this Mao Jieyu did not say anything about her rebellion, but continued to ruin Ji's good deeds one after another, how could the queen allow this traitor to continue to bite her back?

only……

Confused: "All palace lords are unwilling to accept Yun Ronghua, if she is sent to those palaces without lords, Mao Jieyu will definitely not give up."

The lords of the palaces will definitely not accept Yun Qingman, is it not exciting enough to watch Yun Fenghuang doing things these days? They didn't want to be targeted by Yun Fenghuang just because of Rong Hua.

The most important thing is that Yun Qingman is so favored by the emperor, and she is not as stunning as Yi Xingen, so it is worth fighting for her, and offending Yun Fenghuang... It is not worth it no matter what.

Even if the empress sent someone to hint in private, the lords would pretend to be deaf and dumb and avoid it.

So asking other masters to come forward and pretend to have a good relationship with Yun Qingman, and want to invite Yun Qingman to live in his own palace-that is, the routine that Yun Fenghuang used to get people to his own palace before-will not work. .

If the empress issued an edict to forcibly carry it out, with Yun Fenghuang's personality, it would definitely be a riot on the spot!

The key point is that she is very justified at the moment: Concubine Shu's body is not yet cold, and your queen is going to tear apart their famous "kissing" sisters? ! what do you mean? Can't you see that the Yun sisters are close? Or do you hate Concubine Shu so much that you want to attack her two younger sisters before the funeral is over? !

Empress Ji thought about the situation and sighed: "Is there any other way?"

As for the last feasible method, it is still Yun Fenghuang's method: to be promoted, from a concubine to a concubine, and preside over the first palace by herself.

But this will not work for the time being: Although the royal family announced that Concubine Shu did not actually murder the concubine, and committed suicide because of guilt, after all, the incident has just passed and she is still in the limelight. Bit, isn't this obviously stepping on Zheng's family!

Even if the Empress really wanted to show affection to the Yun family, she was not in such a rush to flatter her, and the Ji family would still have to face it now that it was on the decline.

And: "Your Majesty, Mao Jieyu is also the sister of Concubine Shu, this...?"

If Yun Qingman was promoted to the throne because of the merits and virtues of Duke Yi, Concubine Shu, or someone from the Yun family, Yun Fenghuang would not be left behind!

After all, who told Duke Yi to admit that this is a girl from their family? !

At the beginning, Yunzhao used this hand to decide Yunfenghuang's fate without authorization. Now Yunfenghuang should also enjoy the glory and grace of their family, right?

Empress Ji was speechless for a while after listening to her confidant's words, and in her helplessness, she secretly scolded Duke Yi for being sick--what's wrong with such a master asking her to harm people outside the palace, she insisted on bringing her into the palace to deceive herself ? ! It's all right now, the biological daughter is dead, and the concubine's daughter is being manipulated to death, but she will have a share in whatever benefits the Yun family has in the future, and if there is anything wrong, she will definitely sell the Yun family the most actively...

This Yunzhao is really confused!

The queen finally sighed again: "Let's keep an eye on Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion first. If there is a chance, contact Yun Ronghua in private. Mao Jieyu has a vicious mind. Since she forced Concubine Shu to death, she probably won't." Let Yun Ronghua go... If Yun Ronghua is smart, he should know what to do."

She suddenly thought of the news she received a while ago, saying that Yun Fenghuang used Yun Qingman as a raft, and wanted to invite the emperor to visit Concubine Shu's sister at Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion. It will not be possible to get Yun Qingman away at all times.

It's really...

With her status as the emperor, what is Yun Fenghuang?

Are they both helpless now that they are planning? !

Empress Ji pursed her lips, her eyes darkened.

It was a very unhappy day for the empress, but in the evening there were even more unhappy things waiting for her—the empress dowager, empress dowager Ji and empress dowager Yuan jointly sent people to invite her to Zhuxueyuan to discuss deer qin. The matter of Taiwan.

Well, it's not that there is something wrong with Concubine Zheng Gui, but... Concubine Zheng's attitude towards Zhao Chenggui requires the empress to personally coordinate.
