Chapter 174 Remnants of Evil Reappear!

Regarding this matter, the predicament that Yun Fenghuang faced was the same as the predicament that Empress Dowager Yuan wanted to get rid of before quickly: the difficulty was not how to kill the other party, but how to hide it from Chunjia's eyes and ears.

It's not even about hiding it from Chunjia's eyes and ears, it has to make Chunjia have no doubts.

Otherwise, even if I can get away cleanly and lose the emperor's friendship, then...

Whether it's good for Queen Mother Yuan or Yun Fenghuang, it's almost like being cold.

It's better not to toss, just look at each other and hate each other.

This is the reason why Yun Fenghuang was able to survive when she was at a disadvantage, and it is also the reason why she wanted to kill Queen Mother Yuan early in the morning but never took action.

So in fact, there is not much choice: you must borrow a knife to kill.

If you do it directly, it is really too difficult to remove yourself.

What's more, even if the emperor believes that she didn't murder the queen mother, because he was involved, he will think of the queen mother when he sees her, and he will feel alienated.

It would be better if someone who also hated the Queen Mother jumped out and hacked the Queen Mother Yuan to death with a bang bang bang.

From Yun Fenghuang's point of view, there are only two such candidates in the palace: Empress Dowager Qu and Empress Gu Zhen.

The problem was that although these two hated the Empress Dowager Yuan not inferior to their own, they also had a lot of worries and did not dare to really take the act of murdering the empress dowager.

Why are they so cowardly? Especially Queen Mother Qu!

Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but secretly slander her, she took your own son for adoption, and even kissed your own son with her or not, can you keep a low profile? It's not that I'm picking things up, I wouldn't be able to bear it if I changed it!

...It's a pity that Queen Mother Qu is not a fool, so she is not so aggressive.

Queen Mother Yuan poisoned her before, causing her to almost die, and she did not take any drastic actions that would cause Chunjia to fall to Queen Mother Yuan. The treatment also made Queen Mother Yuan dare not do similar things again.

Originally, Yun Fenghuang arranged for Gong Xiangwen to be raised by Queen Mother Qu, but with such a medium to connect with the clan power, Queen Mother Qu's character, when her wings are full, she will definitely not let Queen Mother Yuan go.

But doing so is too slow.

At that time, if Yun Fenghuang followed in the footsteps of Xiao Jiang and Concubine Wen Huixian, the mother and son would no longer be in this world.

Now……

Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and called Chen Jing to come to him: "The maid from the Ningbi Palace who exposed Concubine An's murder of the sixth prince earlier, I remember her name is Qingdie? What happened afterwards?"

"If you go back to the empress, Qingdie was let out by the empress." Chen Jing said softly, "It is said that she will go home and marry herself."

"Who is the person behind her?" Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, and asked calmly, "Isn't it because you love the sixth prince more than your own life?"

Chen Jing said: "Your Majesty, according to a thorough investigation by the Empress Empress and the Secretary of the Imperial City, Qingdie was actually Concubine An's confidant, otherwise she would not have been arranged to take care of the sixth prince. The reason why she came forward to expose this matter is because One is the situation of Concubine An in the past two years. The sixth prince can be said to be the only hope. If the sixth prince has something good or bad, what can he do with Concubine An? At the beginning, it was the sixth prince who landed that made Ning Bidian's heart, which was already floating, has stabilized."

A servant like Qingdie is most afraid of a master like Yuan Niangniang.

With a backer, an emperor's favorite, and a status, it can be said that the cards are not bad, but she can't stop her from committing suicide.

Not once or twice!

Such a stupid master who can't support the wall, after many times, no matter how loyal the subordinate is, it is inevitable that he will change his mind.

And Qingdie had no other choice at the time, "My lady, please think about it, when the Fourth Prince died earlier, even though the cause was intestinal ulcers, but the person who served the Fourth Prince counted as one, who would end well?"

"That's because the fourth prince has an incurable disease and can't help it."

"If the Sixth Prince really has something good or bad, Qingdie's palace servants who serve the Sixth Prince will only end in a worse situation!"

Because Concubine An needs to hide the secret of her murder of the sixth prince, even if the emperor is willing to spare them, Concubine An will also silence her.

Originally, this situation could have been reported to Queen Mother Yuan to persuade Concubine An, but Queen Mother Yuan's preference for Concubine An was well known, since Qingdie didn't want to die, how could she dare to find Queen Mother?

He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and ran to the Chongchang Palace to report to the queen.

Although this move still failed to do anything to Concubine An, at least she was picked out of the Huzhu Palace by herself.

...Even if there is a high probability that the Empress Dowager Yuan's aunt and nephew will not let her go, at least there is a chance to escape, otherwise, there will be ten deaths!

"Send someone to find her." Yun Fenghuang was a little annoyed that he didn't think of this section at the beginning, and of course he didn't think that he needed to quickly deal with the Queen Mother Yuan at that time, and sighed softly, "Ask her if she is willing to do this for her." Palace work?"

Chen Jing wondered if his master was going to deal with Concubine An again?

But with Concubine An's current situation, what's the point?

But seeing that Yun Fenghuang didn't intend to explain, he didn't ask any more, just bowed his head and said: "Yes."

After the first month, the Northland came back with a battle report, saying that the gold mining was going well, and that he and the remnants of Hele occasionally fought each other, and each had a victory or defeat. As for the relationship with Xifa, it was a bit delicate.

However, Gu Fangshu promised that he would try his best to mediate to ensure the interests of the country.

Not two days after the battle report arrived, the team to transport the sands arrived, with Wei Shizi as the leader, and they were full of people.

The number of this batch of sand is actually not very large. Wei Shizi explained that there were no trees on the grassland. Although the army brought a batch of horse-drawn carts to transport the luggage when it was dispatched, after the war, pursuit, etc., there were not many left. And it's impossible to take all of them out to hold gold sand... In short, a lot of gold sand has been mined, and the problem now is transportation.

Dajun is trying to solve this problem.

Before Guochao agreed to send troops to Weihe, the main reason was that Hele would go south to invade Guochao after he ruled the grassland, and he was prepared to fight even if he lost money.

As a result, there is such an unexpected joy now, and I am very satisfied.

Regarding Gu Fangshu's refusal to return to Yanzhou for the time being, I don't have much opinion. They all advised Chunjia not to think too much, and asked Gu Fangshu to take the soldiers to dig more sands, wouldn't it be good? Such a big country doesn't need money, and the gold sand on this Weihe land is worthless if you don't dig it.

Think about it, if Gu Fangshu left now, and Hele would not say anything, would Xifa agree to continue sending gold sand to Guochao?

In short, most people are in a good mood in February.

As a result, in the middle of March, the bad news came: Hele borrowed soldiers from many small but good-for-war aliens from the land in the west, which the country has not known very well in recent years, and attacked the Dingbei Army. Coincidentally, the news leaked out, and they went straight to the Chinese army account at night!

In the chaos, Gu Fangshu relied on experience to fight and retreat, and forcibly gathered a group of old soldiers to barely stabilize his position. However, he had no experience in his first expedition and had only fought with the army before. , The children who are used to being pampered and pampered, have been killed and injured!

Almost none of the families in the imperial capital who tried to let their children go to get credit for the gold-plated family were spared!

Including the Yun family, the Wei family, the Luo family, the Ouyang family, the Yin family, the Meng family... Gu's own children were also involved in this battle.

When Yun Fenghuang heard the news, he immediately asked people to inquire about the survival of Xie and Jiang's children, and was told that many of these two children had escaped.

Mainly they lived in the north for generations, although people like Yun Fenghuang's generation grew up in peace because of the peaceful frontier for many years, but their parents and grandparents have all worked with Wei He with real knives and guns.

Because of Yun Fenghuang, after joining the army, the two families were assigned some official positions, and they were arranged together as much as possible.

With fathers and grandparents leading them, the casualties of young children are naturally much less.

"What a pity! It's just what the hell is Gu Fangshu doing?!" Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief, and then angrily slapped the table, "Back then in Yanzhou, the Dingbei Army suffered heavy losses due to a surprise attack by Hele! Now it's the old story again. Repeat! Does this person have a short memory, or did it on purpose?!"

Not only was she angry, but Chunjia also flew into a rage in the temple, scolding the Gu clan headed by Mrs. Gu bloody, and heartbrokenly remembering the young talents of the country who were buried in the battle, Then he directly announced that Marquis Jingning would go to Yanzhou to sit in town!

No one dared to stand up against it, but someone suggested that those nobles who joined the army should return to the country temporarily. After all, few of these people were suitable for the battlefield, but they just wanted to gain some glory.

As a result, the light didn't touch much, but it did kill a lot.

If things go on like this, each family will be distressed, and Yu Guochao is not a good thing: Although these people may not be good at fighting, but after all, the sons of noble families, who have been trained for many years, are not comparable to the children of ordinary families.

If there are too many deaths, it will also hurt the vitality of the country.

Yun Fenghuang sighed after hearing the news, and felt more and more unwilling: Yanzhou has been presided over by Qi Jiulu for the past two years, and it seems that it is about to gain a firm footing. Jingning Hou is here, with Ke Cong's qualifications, prestige and status. , how could Qi Jiulu beat him?

It's like saying that the past two years have been in vain.

It might even be used by Ke Cong as Li Wei who just arrived in Yanzhou.

I really feel angry when I think about it.

This is definitely not because of her past with Qi Jiulu. Those pasts had been burned up when she personally burned the pouch containing the fireflies, and there was no possibility of it anymore.

But out of sympathy.

Both talented and beautiful, exquisite and considerate... Lin Lin always loses to his good background.

What kind of sadness and hopelessness is this?

She didn't know how Qi Jiulu felt after hearing the news, but she thought that Concubine An's murder of the prince was clear, but from the empress dowager down to the servants in the sixth palace, except Qingdie who was fighting for her own life, they were all silent language.

By default it was a misunderstanding.

And what about the people who serve the Fourth Prince?

Intestinal carbuncle is an incurable disease, what can they do? Why would they want the little master to just go?

They were not buried with the prince together.

Yun Fenghuang subconsciously glanced at the direction of Yanfu Palace. She had been thinking about that palace for a long, long time, but she didn't know whether Ji Jiying could become its owner in the end? Or did he fall short like Qi Jiulu?

This month is undoubtedly not a good day for the emperor.

But for Yun Fenghuang, there is still good news, Qingdie has found it.

Well, it's not purely good news, because Qingdie actually came to her on her own initiative.

When Yun Fenghuang heard about this, he frowned: "Who the hell is she?!"

She asked this question before. At that time, Chen Jing swore she was Concubine An's person, but she became more confused when she saw Concubine An's loss of power, so she betrayed her old master in order to protect herself... At this moment, she was very embarrassed and said in panic: "Madam, she Said...she..."

After hesitating for a while, he struggled to say, "She is a remnant of the Ji family!"

"Sure enough." In fact, Chen Jing didn't need to say anything, Yun Fenghuang guessed it, Qingdie served Concubine An when she first entered the palace, counting her seniority, she would be the old man of Ningbi Palace, if she wasn't from Concubine An , then the mastermind behind the scenes must have started to install this eyeliner before Yun Fenghuang entered the palace.

At that time, all the high positions were suspected, but An Fei's current situation, there were not many people who were tirelessly trying to expose her.

After all, Ru Yunshuangyu, Zheng Chang, Chu and others have passed away, Cui Lianye and the like know it well, this kind of handle will not shake Concubine An's status, and will not do things in vain.

That's Ji's...

Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, and then asked: "Then what did she do to expose Concubine An? I remember that when the sixth prince was sent to the Spring Palace, no one who served him was brought with him. Now all those who serve him It was made up by the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, from the Spring Palace."

This is not surprising, Concubine An's ability is recognized as insufficient, and the sixth prince has such a picky person like Qingdie, how can the queen mother not worry about bringing the person who has been serving the sixth prince to the Spring Palace, what troubles will be left behind? There is no shortage of people around her, so she simply changed them all for this grandson.

Considering this result, Qingdie's efforts are to get the sixth prince to leave Huzhu Palace and be raised by Queen Mother Yuan herself?

Chen Jing walked a few steps forward, and when she was in front of her, she whispered in her ear: "Your Majesty, Qingdie said that it is to make your wish come true now!"

Yun Fenghuang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his fingertips trembled slightly, before he stabilized, he said indifferently: "My wish now is for my wife to give birth to a child in a peaceful way. Does she have such a great ability?"

Chen Jing lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Qingdie didn't say carefully, but only said that the mother is smart, so she must understand...she has a request."

"What's the request, let's hear it." Yun Fenghuang pretended to straighten his sleeves, but his heart was full of ups and downs. The Ji family... If it wasn't for the empress dowager who was still lingering, going to the harem, he would have completely erased the family's identity. shadow.

Ever since the Ji clan collapsed and many remnants fled in all directions, it was not that Yun Fenghuang hadn't thought about it. The Ji clan collapsed so quickly, there might not have been diehard loyalists hiding and becoming future troubles.

But thinking about these remnants, Chunjia and the regent are the ones he hates the most, and he is not very worried about those who are about to fall behind.

It's been several years, and even though the Imperial City Secretary is still chasing after his henchmen, it's not a hot job early in the morning.

What attracted the most attention in recent years was the Weihe incident.

Yun Fenghuang already thought that he had nothing to do with the Ji family anymore, and this Qingdie came to him like this...

She asked about the conditions, but she had already made up her mind, and she went to expose Qingdie to the emperor when she turned around.

Otherwise, even if the remnants of the Ji family help her kill the Queen Mother Yuan, what if they turn around and use her as a handle?

It is not just such a chance that the Queen Mother wants to kill. She will not give a chance to such a family that is so prominent in three dynasties and has such a profound background that Yun Fenghuang's background is unimaginable!

Then I heard Chen Jing whispering: "Qingdie said that the place where Ji Minggan is besieged now, the magistrate is the ninth son of the family, and he wants to ask the empress to pass on the word that the ninth son will hold his hand high. Only this time, from now on, the two will not owe each other, and there will be no more. connection!"
