Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 303 Princess Jinxi

The noble concubine pressed the empress who was waiting to say something: "Your Majesty, please be safe and don't be impatient. Your Highness is always calm. He is not a person who talks nonsense. Maybe he encountered some difficulties... But His Highness is too far away from His Majesty and Empress Dowager. You She is His Majesty's step-sister, and it is said that His Majesty and Empress watched her grow up. Why can the Empress decide for you? But why do you say such things to stab Empress' heart? You know that Empress is always the most sympathetic Yours."

It's okay for Yun An to listen to these words, but just wipe away tears with a wry smile.

After all, the empress is a little guilty. Her family knows her own affairs, and because she can't handle many situations, it's too late. She really doesn't have much time to distract the three cheap sisters-in-law...

At this moment, seeing Yun An Huarong's dismal appearance, she felt a little ashamed, and felt that she was not a good sister-in-law, so she comforted her a few words in embarrassment before asking the ins and outs.

Yun An cried and said, "I'm afraid that no one will believe this: Ever since Yushan left, I have regarded Jinxi as an eyeball! I have always been with me! Originally I thought about it She is a girl from a family, even if she is poor in education, as long as her conduct is good, it is not a big deal... I don't expect her to be a glorious family in the future, she can be too ordinary, and don't follow the path of her poor sister If you follow in the footsteps, you will be satisfied... But who knows, even such a little wish can't be satisfied?"

The queen and the noble concubine looked at each other, both were puzzled, and asked in unison: "But what happened to Princess Jinxi?"

"Yes and no." Yun An pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "Jin Xi is still fine, but...but in the past two years, especially recently, she has made mistakes one after another. At first, I thought it was Accident, but the number of times is too many, how can there be so many coincidences? I always feel that someone is trying to harm Jinxi, but I can't find the clue. The waiters have changed again and again, but they still can't stand up to all kinds of changes. People in the mansion persuaded me to donate some money to Jinxi to accumulate blessings, but after doing this, accidents still appeared one after another. Although there is no accident now, the situation has not improved. In the future... I am really happy I am worried that one day, Jinxi will go with Yushan! After thinking about it, who can pass the royal family when it comes to blessings? So if you want Jinxi to enter the palace with the princesses, you will need some protection."

The queen hesitated and said: "This matter...haven't heard you mention it before? Does the son-in-law know?"

"I've talked to my son-in-law several times." Yun An showed a tired look, and smiled bitterly, "But the son-in-law didn't believe it at first, and then he hired a doctor for me around the bush...and even invited someone to the eldest princess's mansion to pray for blessings." I did a few religious rituals under the banner of Falun Gong. Anyway, I don’t think it’s useful.”

"This..." The empress looked at the noble concubine in embarrassment, and Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "Your Highness, I don't question your intentions, but, the eldest princess's mansion is so important, and you and the son-in-law are the masters of the mansion, how can someone or It's against Princess Jinxi, but you haven't been able to find out the culprit? Is this really strange?"

Yun An said anxiously: "I thought so too, but Jin Xi was indeed targeted!"

She gave several examples in one breath, such as objects from high places suddenly fell, poisoned needles were pinned in the seam of the princess’s dress, and nails were wrapped in caramel. Only those around him with sharp eyesight and quick hands or as careful as a hair can save Princess Jinxi.

Once or twice can be a coincidence, three times or four times, it's no wonder Yun An is worried.

The most important thing is that there is no result to be found!

"I know, you are tired too. Otherwise, you can go back and take a breather. I will send someone to notify you after the girls' school is cleaned up. How about it?" The queen thought for a while, and said After that, he served tea to see off the guests, and then frowned and asked Yun Fenghuang: "Your Highness, this is it?"

"It doesn't look like hysteria, but what you said is really incomprehensible." Yun Fenghuang pondered, "The most important thing is that he was able to do so many things in the princess's mansion without being traced. See, how is it possible? It can't be the son-in-law's doing! The Zheng family has already collapsed, and Zheng Fengyu can be an exception, it's nothing more than the identity of the son-in-law as a guarantee. And no matter whether he has changed his mind about His Highness now, as long as he still has some pros and cons in his heart, he can't do the same. Your Highness is separated. Now that His Highness doesn't despise him, he should be relieved, how can he murder his own daughter? He and His Highness, but such a little flesh and blood are alive!"

The queen frowned and said, "This palace thinks so too... But Princess Jinxi is still young, and she comes from a noble family anyway, so why did she get involved in something unclean?"

She was a little worried, "So, I was just afraid of taking responsibility, so I asked Jin Xi to come into the palace, so don't make Zhao Qing and the others tired!"

Although it is said that the royal fortune is deep enough to suppress all unclean things.

But the queen also knew in her heart that if the palace was really clear and clean, why would there be so many private affairs?

Furthermore, Chunjia, the emperor, and himself, the empress, can still be said to have the destiny in her body, and she is not bound by all kinds of dharmas. Although the noble concubine came from a poor family, she was promoted quickly, which shows that she also has great luck. But the heirs of the emperors are still young, and the lions and tigers are invincible when they grow up, so why are they not weak and bully when they are young?

The queen had no objection to Princess Jinxi's niece, and she even felt distressed when she mentioned it. But no matter how distressed it is, it's just my niece. Even though Zhaoqing and other imperial daughters were not her own, at this time, the idea that Zhenggong is the aunt of all the imperial heirs is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In Gu Zhen's eyes, no matter how unlovable Zhaoqing is, she will call her "mother queen"; Poorly, she only called her "Aunt Huang". The distance and closeness are clear at a glance in the address.

Even without considering other factors, the queen would not put Zhaoqing in danger for Jinxi.

Not to mention that Zhaoqing's concubine Yun Fenghuang was sitting next to her.

"I want my concubine to tell me, why don't you let His Highness take Princess Jinxi to live in Shanyuan for a few days?" Yun Fenghuang said casually, "Although it is said that the son-in-law also invited people to perform rituals, maybe the people invited are not skilled enough. What? After all, Shanyuan Temple has a deep connection with the royal family. Maybe there is a way."

Gu Zhen knew that she really disliked Jin Xi, but he found a reason to dismiss Yun An, so he nodded understandingly: "Turn back to my palace and talk to His Highness."

Then he hesitated, "But what if His Highness is unwilling?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty has always attached great importance to His Majesty, although we all want to share His Majesty's worries. But if we really can't do it, we can only ask His Majesty for instructions."

That's Chunjia's younger sister, let him have a headache!

Anyway, before she was sure that Jinxi would not bring trouble to Zhaoqing, she didn't want such a person around her daughter.

"Actually, this matter is also strange. Why are you targeting Jinxi?" Gu Zhen felt confused again, "Could it be true that Zheng's ancestors did not accumulate virtue and fell to retribution? But I have never heard of the two elder brothers above Zheng Fengyun. What happened to the descendants?"

Yun Fenghuang said lazily: "Now they are not allowed to be officials for three generations. Even if they still have blood and blood inheritance, what do you think of the gap? I'm afraid it's more uncomfortable than death. It's the princess, because it's His Highness's own. Flesh and blood, as long as your Majesty is alive, can you give her a good future?"

The queen thought about it too, and felt that she didn't know what crimes Zheng's ancestors had done to save up such retribution.

As for whether it might be the influence brought by the royal family, the Queen thinks it is impossible.

After all, if it was Gongxiang's grievance, why didn't Chunjia's heirs have such a target?

Although the concubine wanted to settle this matter privately, she finally brought it up to Chunjia.

The emperor was very embarrassed between the concubine and the step-sister. After some consideration, he finally favored Yun'an, or in other words, favored his filial piety to his step-father, and decided to let Princess Jinxi enter the women's school. , and even handed over to Gu Zhen for upbringing.

Gu Zhen: “……………………”

She reminded the emperor in private, "It's not that I'm being stingy and won't let my niece go to girls' school, let alone that I don't want to take care of this child. But Yun'an personally said all kinds of misfortune about this child, and Ruoguo has something wrong with her in the palace. How can I explain this as a concubine?"

Chunjia said: "I also know the queen's embarrassment, and I have also told Yun An. But now Yun An has some intentions of going to the doctor in an emergency. I only have three daughters, you know that Minghui has regarded me as a thorn in the flesh since the common man Ji Sheng left; Suian has nothing to do with her knees; it is rare that Yunan has such a daughter, I have to take care of her point."

Gu Zhen said helplessly: "That's a good deal, I will try my best to take care of Princess Jinxi, but if the princess makes any mistakes, Your Majesty can't blame my stupidity."

Seeing that the emperor had repeatedly promised that he would never really blame her when the time came, and at most wanted to show it to the outside world, the empress responded with a sigh.

After talking about this matter, she thought of her father, hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Uncle Zhao Wu has been back for a briefing, but I don't know what His Majesty thinks?"

This is actually a bit taboo, after all, although Gu Fangshu is the Queen's biological father, he is also a courtier.

The queen's interference with the emperor's arrangements for him is somewhat suspected of interfering in politics.

Maybe it was because of this, Chunjia glanced at her and didn't elaborate, but said slowly: "I have my own opinion, Queen, let's go get busy."

Gu Zhen thought about the words his mother had brought into the palace, and was not at ease after all. When he returned to the harem, he sent someone to tell Yun Fenghuang what had happened, and then politely dragged her to help test Chunjia's tone.

The requirements are not high, and there is no need for help to intercede, as long as you know the general bias of Chunjia's attitude.

Yun Fenghuang thought about it for a while and agreed.

After noon that day, she sent someone to deliver soup to Chunjia, and by the way, under the banner of Zhaoqing, she invited Chunjia to Huanhua Hall to visit the children.

Sure enough, Chunjia came over in the evening, and made some intimacy with Zhaoqing and other children who had been called in advance. Seeing Yun Fenghuang was hesitating to talk, she found an excuse to dismiss the children, and asked with a smile: " Is there something else?"

"I didn't have it at first, but just now the queen was a little troubled, and the people below were worried about her, so I came here to talk to this concubine." Yun Fenghuang said lazily, "I wondered if it was because your majesty didn't go to Chongchang Hall for a long time. As for the empress, do you think too much?"

The emperor looked at her inquisitively: "Ah Huang and the empress seem to be on good terms now?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's good or not." Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "It's just that in the past six months, it's considered that they have sympathized with each other and supported each other. Speaking of which, I will mention it to you if it is easy to talk about. If you feel that I am talkative, then I will not talk about it in the future. "

This kind of no-nonsense attitude made Chunjia believe it.

Because if the imperial concubine is very supportive of the queen all of a sudden, it will make him suspicious.

"The empress just went to see me, so she must have other worries." Chunjia smiled slightly, "She always likes to think too much, so don't worry about it."

"Does this concubine know about the empress's departure?" Yun Fenghuang cast a glance at him and said, "I mean that you haven't seen the third prince and the others for a long time. Think about how Zhaoqing and the others met you." The number of times is quite high, and in the past two days, I have come to the concubine to ask their father pitifully! What's more about the third prince? The concubine is a little pitiful when I think about it. The other day I finished talking to the empress and left, just happened to meet The third prince and the king of Chu brought the tenth prince to pay their respects, how can I put it, it may be that I have experienced the life and death of King Qin and King Jin, and now I really don't want to see children being wronged."

The emperor always felt that noble concubines tended to be soft-hearted towards children, especially Yun Fenghuang frequently mentioned the third prince. As we all know, he didn't like to see the twin heirs left by Ji Muzi.

Even though the queen sympathized with the twin princes, she just tried to push people towards him, hoping that his attitude would be softer, and never dared to mention it to him again and again.

That is to say, the noble concubine would speak straightforwardly.

Chunjia thinks that Yunfenghuang is smart, but he doesn't know that even if the emperor is favored, frequent annoyance of the emperor will consume friendship. The relationship between the third prince and Yun Fenghuang is not close, if Yun Fenghuang didn't sincerely feel pity for this prince, why would he help to bring it up?

He pondered for a while, then slowly asked: "What? The third prince is not doing well now? I heard that the queen is not bad to him?"

Yun Fenghuang was about to answer, but someone from the palace came from the outside, and reported with a strange expression that something happened to the Huzhu Palace again, and this time it was Si Zhan who was unlucky, and it was said that the reason was that he hurt Concubine An while she was dressing. Concubine An's scalp was pressed down by Concubine An, and all the black hair was shaved off.

That's not enough, he even ordered someone to press Si Zhan to His Highness and prick all ten fingernails with needles.

So Si Zhan had just swallowed the gold while others were not prepared, and his companion knelt in front of the Ningbi Hall for a long time before Concubine An leisurely asked someone to invite a medical lady to see her.

According to this situation, Si Zhan should not survive.

This time, no one in the Huzhu Palace was able to report the news, but it was Gong Caisun who came to the imperial concubine crying for help after receiving the news.
