Chapter Fifty-Seven

Gu Zhen's response quickly reached Yun Fenghuang's ears, and she said slightly: "The queen has made a decision too, I thought she would be merciful, or she didn't know what to do."

It can be seen how much the environment affects people, Gu Zhen was still Mrs. Yaoning, she was straight-tempered and not good at calculating, and her mind was not cruel... Or, she didn't have the ability to be cruel, and she had neither love nor hatred. It's straight forward.

It has been less than a year since he ascended to the top of the list, and he is already so decisive and ruthless when dealing with a child who has not yet been born, it is almost like a different person.

That's why Yun Fenghuang felt that it was unfair to say to the harem that he would get revenge for his grievances.

She was originally a good person, but it was Gong Wei who led her into ruin...

"Ma'am, what are we going to do about this matter?" Chen Jing bowed and asked for instructions.

"Keep an eye on the people of the Gu family." Yun Fenghuang said leisurely, "If possible, get some proof of their purpose for going to Wannian County, so that I can remind my loving mother, the Empress Dowager."

Look, Queen Mother Yuan treated her so badly, she still wanted not to keep the old man in the dark, she was so magnanimous to repay grievances with kindness.

After talking about this matter, the imperial concubine remembered again, "According to the date, it's time for Concubine Shao to give birth?"

"That's right, ma'am." Chen Jing nodded, "Concubine Shao's news was spread at the end of last year. According to the calculation of the imperial physician's days, it will be activated in these two days."

With a low voice, "Your Majesty thinks...?"

"There are six princes and three princesses in the palace, what do I think?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at him and said indifferently, "If she can give birth, let her give birth. It's all a good thing. Let's not meddle in other people's business, but we can't take it lightly, if Concubine Shao's own fortune is unlucky, don't rely on me!"

There is no way, she has framed others too many times before, and she always suspects that other people will use similar tricks to deal with herself.

Concubine Pian Shao also has a father who is an important official who can make trouble. Yun Fenghuang wouldn't say that he was afraid of the sinister channel, but he didn't want to make trouble for nothing.

It didn't count that Chen Jing went to pay attention to it secretly, but when Chunjia came over the next day, she even mentioned this matter to the emperor, telling the emperor to go to Yin Yao's side in the next two days: "Her day is coming, you If you don't go and take a look, don't think that you don't care about their mother and son, and that it will be bad for the emperor's heir to think wildly."

Because concubines are not suitable for bedtime after they are pregnant, Chunjia occasionally went to sit with pregnant concubines a few days ago. passed.

Speaking of the importance attached to Concubine Shao's unborn heirs, to be honest, the emperor really didn't.

After all, he didn't love the emperor's heirs as much as outsiders thought, and now he has nine children, how could he care about it?

Whether Concubine Shao's baby is a boy or a girl, and even whether it can be born smoothly, Chunjia can accept it calmly.

But since the imperial concubine said so, he also agreed, taking advantage of the opportunity to praise Yun Fenghuang for his virtuousness and generosity.

"The concubine is not virtuous and magnanimous." Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes at him, and said with a half-smile, "Isn't the concubine afraid that something will happen to Concubine Shao, and the former Lord Yin would hold on to the concubine? Who is it?" The concubine does not have a father or brother who is an important minister, so to Master Yin, he can only be subdued?"

She can't let Chunjia feel that she is virtuous and generous, because she is too virtuous and generous. When Chunjia is involved in all kinds of things, she may think that she is sensible and considerate. When she turns around and calms down, she may suspect that she doesn't like her that much.

Furthermore, if there is a chance to give Yin's father and daughter eye drops, why let it go?

Sure enough, Chunjia was smiling, but when she heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "What did Yin Qu say about you recently? Who told you?"

"Those are trivial things." Yun Fenghuang vaguely brought it over. After all, she didn't know that Yin Qu had said recently that she hadn't spoken ill of herself, or what she had said... only said, "But murdering concubines and concubines such as the concubine and the emperor's heir I don't dare to take the body, the concubine has both children and is favored by His Majesty, what kind of concubine Shao's birth can threaten the concubine? The concubine doesn't care about her child. But there are always some people who don't think so. To be favored is to be jealous, and you can't tolerate other people in the palace and other heirs. If you enter the palace after changing concubines, one counts as one, and you will never let them go!"

"But now, maybe because of being a concubine mother, and with His Majesty protecting her, my temperament has eased a lot, but I don't bother to care about them."

He said this as if he had suffered so many bits and pieces of grievances when Chunjia didn't know about it. Intellectually, Chunjia felt that she might be faking it, but she still felt distressed emotionally: "Who are they? ? Why didn't you tell me? You don't want to care about it, but I still want to care about it."

"You're so busy, it's not a big deal." Yun Fenghuang was very satisfied with his concern, and said softly, "In the end, they said that because of jealousy, and the more they said it, the more they were unhappy, so I did Why care? If it's really too much, I won't be polite to you."

The two of them were very intimate that night, so much so that when Yun Fenghuang arrived at Chongchang Hall the next day, he was a stick of incense late.

The concubines all knew that Chunjia rested at the Huanhua Palace at night. Seeing this situation, their expressions were not very good, but they dared not say anything.

Waiting for Anbi, Gu Zhen asked the others to leave first, and left the third concubine to talk, and told them that yesterday the emperor gave a letter of approval for Yuan Zhiniang's wish to stay in Wannian County to give birth, and he agreed : "But I think it's not good to have no one in charge over there, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is already one of the four concubines, and she sits on an equal footing with concubines." Hearing that Concubine Shu and Concubine De both looked at Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang said casually, "Concubines who have gone, may not It’s good to sit in the town. If the empress is not at ease, why not invite the empress Feng to drive there?”

Gu Zhen immediately glared at her fiercely, and said, "If this palace leaves, who will take care of this huge palace?!"

She did not give Yun Fenghuang a chance to speak, and continued to preach, "I am inseparable from the three of you. What I mean is, do you want to report this matter to the loving mother, the empress dowager? Please send someone to the empress dowager." Taking care of? Is this just in case? "

In fact, Gu Zhen didn't just want to be so caring, the key is that she is the queen.

Although Chunjia personally allowed Yuan Zhiniang to give birth outside, if Yuan Zhiniang had something good or bad, the loving mother, the empress dowager, might not be willing to blame the emperor's son whom she brought up alone, but she would definitely blame the queen for not thinking well and not taking good care of the virtuous concubine.

Even if Concubine Xian might have been killed by the order of her loving mother, the Empress Dowager herself...

Gu Zhen just wanted to get rid of the blame in advance and let Chunlang Palace send people to Wannian County to sit in town, so that it would be best for Yuan Zhi and his wife to be safe and sound, but if this virtuous concubine loses her life, then the responsibility as a queen can be minimized.

The reason why he wanted to discuss with the third concubine was that Gu Zhen was worried that if the empress dowager had such thoughts, she might throw the pot back, for example, if she disagreed with sending people from the Spring Palace, but let the empress arrange it herself , and even asked the queen to arrange for her confidants to sit in the town... In this way, when Yuan Zhiniang died, Gu Zhen would be complained by the loving mother, the empress dowager, and finally had to adopt Yuan Zhiniang's mother in fear. child.

Even if you think about it a little deeper, for this reason, when the emperor's heir grows up, the loving mother, the empress dowager, and the Yuan family will probably tell him: Yuan Zhiniang's death is because the empress needs to adopt a normal and healthy empress. Heir, so kill the mother and seize the son...

Thinking about this possibility, Gu Zhen felt resentful, so she just hoped that Yun Fenghuang could take over the task and persuade the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, to send someone to Wannian County to take care of Yuan Zhiniang.

Of course, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter to her whether Yun Fenghuang goes to the Spring Palace to solve this problem or goes to the Taichu Palace to solve this problem.

But Yun Fenghuang didn't want to get involved in this matter. She buried such a big hole for Queen Mother Yuan. Now that the harvest is imminent, why bother?

Anyway, looking at Gu Zhen's appearance, she could tell that she had unconsciously believed six or seven percent of Yuan's desire to pick Gu's peaches.

At this time, Yun Fenghuang should get out and get rid of all the evidence, so as not to tear up the empress dowager in the future and implicate her.

Seeing that the imperial concubine was indifferent, Gu Zhen knew that she didn't want to help, so he sighed in his heart, dismissed Concubine Shu and Defei, and discussed with her alone: ​​"This matter can't be done without the imperial concubine, but is the imperial concubine not going to worry about it?"

"Your Majesty is absurd. The loving empress dowager never waits to see concubines, and it's not like you don't know about it." Yun Fenghuang pushed back lightly, "It's not easy for anyone to talk about it, the empress dowager loving That's right. Let me tell you in person that the empress dowager is not only not allowed, but even tries to make things difficult for her. Wouldn't this spoil the empress's good intentions?"

"..." Gu Zhen was silent for a while, then said, "I heard that your brothers and sisters are quite brave, I don't know if you intend to serve the court?"

Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows, motioning for her to continue talking.

"The Dingbei Army is already raising its troops." Gu Zhen thought for a while, and felt that with the degree of favor of the imperial concubine, even if the Xie family and the Yun family did not report this kind of news, the emperor would tell her sooner or later, so there was no need to keep it secret, just tell the truth, "Many families want to take the opportunity to gain some merit. If you are willing to do something convenient for me, I can also write a letter to my father, asking your close brothers, nephews and nephews to be personal guards, and share some of the credit."

Guard.

Yun Fenghuang quickly made some calculations in his heart, and felt that Gu Zhen was quite sincere.

After all, the personal guards follow the main general, the danger is more than a little lower than that of ordinary soldiers, and they can get the moon first if they are close to the water.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. Uncle Zhaowu Gu Fangshu, as the commander of the Dingbei Army, not a general, is unlikely to easily take the lead by himself. Therefore, as his personal guard, there are fewer opportunities to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.

But it doesn't matter, although there are many Xie's children, Yun Fenghuang's direct brothers are only a few, and her eldest nephew is only at the age of discussing marriage, these are her closest direct descendants, but they can't afford to lose.

"Your Majesty ordered, how dare I refuse to obey?" After thinking about this, she suddenly smiled sincerely, and said affectionately, "I will do it with you when I turn around!"

Seeing this, Gu Zhen didn't bother to talk to her anymore, so he waved her hand directly to ask her to leave.

It's just that Yun Fenghuang sat still, but still wanted to continue to inquire about things in the north: "I'm really worried about where my concubine's hometown is."

"What I know is not very clear." Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "I know that Hele is very angry at Guochao's refusal to hand over Mu'e Khan's wife and children to him, and Mu'e Khan's father-in-laws are now Tangled with a group of soldiers and horses, and then asked Guochao for help... If there is no accident, there may be a war, but it will not be fought on Guochao's land."

Hearing this, it seems like he was invited to enter the grassland to help Mu'e Khan's father-in-laws attack Hele?

This is really a great opportunity to make contributions... Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart, no wonder the Wei family tried every means to get married with the Gu family. Under such a situation, there is indeed hope of becoming a marquis.

After she left Yanfu Palace and returned to Huanhua Palace, she wondered which brother or nephew should this personal guard give to?

While he was thinking about it, someone from the palace hurried over to report that it was news from Ranxiang Palace that Concubine Shao had activated it.
