Chapter 184: Cleaning up Yuan Niangniang's Hope

"Let her in, the Ai family wants to see what kind of medicine she sells in the gourd!" The Queen Mother Yuan snorted softly when she heard this, and ordered someone to bring Yun Fenghuang in and salute her, the same as last time. He didn't cry out, and asked lightly: "Okay, why would someone from the palace come to Ai's house? The former empress asked her to leave the palace, and the future is still undecided. The emperor and Ai's family trusted you, so they entrusted the palace affairs to you. It turned out that you were lucky. , After returning from Ai’s house, he started to go to war, the movement of Xuanqing Palace in the past two days, I’m afraid no one knows it inside and out!”

"Earlier, it was said that Niangniang had a bad temper. The Ai family thinks you are worse than Niangniang!"

"They were all raised by their fathers and mothers, but the ones in your palace are inferior?"

"Seeing that it was carried out bloody, those who didn't know thought that the master of Xuanqing Palace had been replaced by a cruel official!"

These remarks are full of pickiness, and it is close to saying that Yun Fenghuang's attack on the palace people in the past two days is dissatisfied with the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and her methods are even more harsh than the recognized palace concubine killer Yuan Niangniang.

Yun Fenghuang laughed apologetically and said: "The empress dowager, the concubine has been a little stricter with her subordinates in the past two days, but it's not because of others, but because they didn't take good care of the eldest prince."

"Isn't it because you, the one who is in charge, don't care first?" Empress Dowager Yuan said flatly, "It's not that the eldest prince just landed. Why didn't you have any problems before? It can be seen that you have lost your mind these days. It was not on the child, so the people below noticed it, and hid themselves!"

Yun Fenghuang hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and finally explained that those who were carried out of the Xuanqing Palace in the past two days were all evidenced by people who had wronged intentions. , so he regards the First Prince and Zhao Qing as more important than his own life, they are still so young, and it is too late for them to accumulate virtue, even if they want to clean up the Xuanqing Palace, how dare they commit crimes indiscriminately?"

These words froze Empress Dowager Yuan's originally indifferent expression, and her gaze became a little dangerous when she looked down.

The estrangement between the two of them is too deep, just like Yun Fenghuang suspected that she wanted to seize power after a few careless words from the Queen Mother before, but now Yun Fenghuang, whether it is intentional or not, the Queen Mother Yuan suspects that she is implicating Yuan Niangniang.

To be precise, the Empress Dowager suspected that what Yun Fenghuang meant was that Chunjia's real eldest son, Prince Qi Xiangzhuo, died young because Yuan Niangniang abused the palace and did not give the child good deeds!

"..." After a moment of expressionlessness behind Mrs. Yuan, she slowly said, "Mr. Xiaoyun, are you convicted?"

Yun Fenghuang knelt down obediently: "This concubine did not take good care of the eldest prince, so I am convicted!"

The queen mother smiled sullenly: "That's not what the Ai family said."

Turning his head and asking someone, "Bring those two people up last night."

"Niang Niang." Zhan Liu frowned slightly, although their master and servant analyzed that the two palace maids' revelations should be targeted and not just empty talk, but it hasn't been verified yet?

To testify against a virtuous concubine without any preparation, especially a virtuous concubine like Yun Fenghuang who has been torn up all the way since entering the palace... is really a bit impulsive.

The most important thing is that the queen mother planned to communicate with the emperor in private first.

At this moment, the emperor has not come yet.

But Empress Dowager Yuan was so touched that she ignored Zhan Liu's euphemism to stop her, and asked someone to bring the two palace ladies up, and asked them to state their identification of the master again.

In front of Yun Fenghuang, the two courtiers were trembling, almost unable to kneel steadily.

Even so, the rhetoric is still the same as yesterday's report and the manager of the Spring Palace.

"Concubine Xian has always been eloquent, but I don't know what to say now?" Empress Dowager Yuan looked coldly at Her Highness Yun Fenghuang who was kneeling, and her words were mocking.

"Mother, these two people have people in the palace who expose them to be lazy, and their hands and feet are not very clean. The concubine has never given them food and drink, but even the chickens in the small kitchen are not spared. The former one even stole several. , I don’t know where it went.” Yun Fenghuang glanced at the two palace people, and said calmly, “I am planning to deal with them today. It is probably because of this reason that they are afraid of the palace rules, so I found them. The Empress Dowager is here to falsely accuse my concubine."

Empress Dowager Yuan said: "You say they are false accusations? Is there any evidence?"

Yun Fenghuang asked back: "But I don't know if these two lowly maidservants have credentials?"

"Ai's family is asking you now, or are you asking Ai's family?!" Queen Mother Yuan grabbed the tea bowl and threw it at it. The two of them were far away now, and they didn't hit Yun Fenghuang, but they fell all over the ground in front of her. The tea splashed out and splashed water stains on her skirt, "Put away your nonsense in front of Aijia, Aijia asks, you answer, dare to play tricks again, see if the people here are good or not use!"

As she said this, a strong palace servant began to roll up her sleeves beside her.

There is a meaning that Yun Fenghuang will come up and slap his mouth if he dares to say a word.

Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, these maidservants in the second palace are rough envoys, not concubines close servants, how do they know all these things? It's just hearsay and far-fetched. If you don't say anything else, just say common people Mrs. Zheng, she did go to Huanhua Palace late at night, but she didn't mention Concubine Shu at all. Please think about it, my concubine had just entered the palace at that time, and she was not familiar with Mrs. Zheng. If Mrs. Zheng discussed with her concubine about murdering Concubine Shu , aren't you afraid that the concubine will turn around and tell Concubine Shu the ins and outs of the matter?"

"After all, the concubine and concubine Shu are sisters of the same clan, and concubine Shu's sister, concubine Xie, is even more like a sister!"

"At that time, Mrs. Zheng just told my concubine something about other people."

Empress Dowager Yuan said coldly: "You know what kind of sisters you, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xie are! You should stop pretending here!"

Yun Fenghuang lowered his head and did not speak.

Dip the willow next to him and thought for a while, then asked: "Since the concubine Xian said that the concubine Zheng Shi did visit you at night, but she didn't mention Concubine Shu, but she didn't know, what did Mrs Zheng say to you? , can't Mrs. Zheng just go find you and gossip?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang opened his mouth, looking very embarrassed, and glanced at Queen Mother Yuan.

Empress Dowager Yuan scolded impatiently: "If you tell me what you say, just say it, don't do these tricks! The Ai family is not the emperor's son, so you can be charming!"

Yun Fenghuang answered yes in a low voice, and timidly said: "The common man Mrs. Zheng... what I told my concubine that night was... um... Mrs. Chunke!"

Knowing that this answer would definitely offend Queen Mother Yuan even more, she hastily added, "But the concubine didn't agree!"

"You didn't agree?!" Queen Mother Yuan was stiff for a moment, and she quickly thought of a series of things, that is, before the summer vacation last year, although Chunjia had already begun to be interested in Yun Fenghuang, she was not so interested in Yuan Lianniang. He said he was very cold, but he was still willing to coax him.

Later, during the summer vacation, Shengjia stayed in Wannian County. Due to the emergency of the Empress Dowager, Chunjia took Yun Fenghuang and Jiancong lightly to the Qishan Palace, but was assassinated and fell off the cliff on the way. Yuan Lianniang greeted the cold and asked for warmth, and comforted her in every possible way...but then Concubine Shu committed suicide.

The queen mother felt dizzy for a moment because of being too excited. She subconsciously held onto the table at hand to stabilize herself, and shouted sharply, "You bitch has always been ambitious, and you have never lived a peaceful day since you entered the palace. You Will you agree?!"

"Don't you promise that Niangniang will fall out of favor?!"

"You didn't promise that Niang Niang would give birth to King Qi prematurely?!"

"Don't you promise that King Qi will die young?!"

"The Ai family said that although Niangniang is a bit willful and spoiled, she has always been full of eyes and ears for the emperor's son. She was conceived earlier and was set up by others, and she lost her son. She finally became pregnant again last year. She is like a sweetheart, no matter what. Wronged, how can you not care about the children in your womb?!"

"The co-authors are you two lowly maidservants—how dare you?!!!"

Dip Willow frightened and stepped forward to help: "Your Majesty, calm down... Your Majesty, calm down!"

She and Empress Dowager Yuan looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and both master and servant knew each other: Empress Dowager Yuan's anger was real, and she really did not expect that Zheng Shangchu and Yun Fenghuang would plan to deal with Yuan Niangniang in private.

But it wasn't all genuine outrage.

It was also Empress Dowager Yuan who discovered that this was an excellent opportunity.

The opportunity to resolve the grudge between Yuan Niangniang and Chunjia——Yuan Niangniang's fall from favor, although she has been messing around for many years and exhausted Chunjia's patience, it is also because of Yun Fenghuang and other concubines who secretly sow dissension and split into slander. Yuan Lianniang still didn't think about repenting during her pregnancy, which led to premature birth, which made Gong Xiangzhuo doomed to die from birth... Among them, Gong Xiangzhuo's point can be said to be the reason why Chunjia never set foot in the Huzhu Palace.

Even Queen Mother Yuan couldn't say anything about the emperor.

After all, Gong Xiangzhuo is Chunjia's eldest son.

If the child was murdered by someone else, it would be unreasonable for him not to visit his biological mother. But this child could have been born at full term and become a strong and strong prince, but because of his mother's mischief, he landed early and died... He didn't punish Yuan Niangniang, but returned her to the position of wife at the Queen Mother's will. Already very kind.

Since then, I haven't seen Yuan Niangniang or anything, and no one can tell why.

If you look closely, this Mrs. Chunke is not only the biological mother of his eldest son, but also his nemesis, isn't she?

No matter how much Empress Dowager Yuan favored her niece, she couldn't say anything in the face of such a fact.

But now, she saw a hope of whitening Yuan Niangniang.

All of this was a conspiracy between Zheng Shangchu and Yun Fenghuang—calculating the time, when Zheng Shangchu went to find Yun Fenghuang to conspire, the only pregnant concubines in the palace were Zheng Shangchu and Yuan Niangniang!

At that time, both of them hadn't given birth yet, even if Zheng Shangchu conceived first, there was no guarantee that she would give birth to the prince.

If she gave birth to a royal daughter, but Yuan Niangniang gave birth to a prince, would Zheng Shangchu be willing?

In addition, the relationship between Yuan Niangniang and the concubines of the sixth palace is not good, and Zheng Shangchu has a motive to murder the pregnant Yuan Niangniang!

Not to mention Yun Fenghuang, this master became famous by stepping on Yuan Niangniang.

Can she watch Yuan Niangniang successfully give birth to the emperor's heir, and her mother's status is stable based on her son, and she can pay back the humiliation and embarrassment she gave by relying on her previous calculations to herself?

The Empress Dowager breathed out lightly, ignoring the concubine Xian who was still arguing and seemed extremely anxious: "Go invite Your Majesty! Hurry up!"
