Chapter 549: The Imperial Concubine
As Xiang Ping always instilled Xiao Jinxuan's existence in Empress Chen's ears, how much hidden danger it would bring to the harem of the former dynasty, and how would the other party have too much power, and how would he cover the sky with one hand.
So now over time, even Empress Chen subtly feels that if Xiao Jinxuan is not removed, a second Empress Xue will appear in the harem sooner or later.
Even she, the queen mother, had to be bullied and suppressed by Xiao Jinxuan, so Empress Chen now regards Xiao Jinxuan as an imaginary enemy, and if she doesn't get rid of it, she is even going to the point where she can't sleep well.
But no matter how much he wanted to get rid of Xiao Jinxuan immediately and make the other party completely disappear from the harem, the anger on Empress Chen's face turned into a deep helplessness not long after.
"Xiang'er, the queen mother knows that you are the most intimate in this huge palace, but the queen mother doesn't know that Xiao Jinxuan will be a scourge sooner or later, but how can your royal brother always protect the other party. Last time, Xiao Jinxuan fainted in the Buddhist hall of my Yanqing Palace, not only did Xianyu question Yu Wai's family, but even Rui'er put down her words, and did not allow the queen mother to announce that she had nothing to do to see Xiao Jinxuan, and it was better to stay away from the other party. Speaking of which, I, the queen mother, have done a lot of money, and I have to suffer from the idleness of a palace concubine, and the mourning family is really bitter in my heart. ”
Hearing Chen's unwillingness and complaints, he entered the hall with Xiangping, and Ji Lingfeng, who was standing respectfully on the side, immediately hid under the mask, and couldn't help but speak:
"The Queen Mother forgave the slave for being presumptuous, and now His Majesty and the Royal King are obviously completely controlled by Xiao Jinxuan. The more this is the case, the more determined you, as their mother, must be determined to balance Concubine Xiao. And now that the Xue family has become the abolished queen mother, when her crimes are announced to the world, there will be no more queen mothers in this big week, and you will become the only queen mother. Not only is the status more noble, but even the fact that the harem cannot interfere in politics will not be binding on you at that time. After all, the queen mothers of the Great Zhou Dynasty have the responsibility of exhorting the emperor to be diligent in government and love the people, and they can also give advice on political affairs. Therefore, the power of the Queen Mother will only be above Xiao Jinxuan in the future, and it will be easy to clean up the other party at that time. ”
After looking at Empress Chen and hearing this, even his eyes lit up and he sat up straight.
Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but smile smugly in his heart, knowing that he had ignited the ambition of this queen mother who had been buried deep in his heart for many years and had never had a chance to reveal.
However, this is a good thing for Ji Lingfeng, who is now loyal to Empress Chen's mother and daughter, after all, Empress Chen or Xiangping, only the more power they have, the more space he can play, and gradually approach the peak of power step by step.
And after driving Empress Chen's ambition and confidence, Ji Lingfeng immediately changed the topic, and then said quite mysteriously:
"Thanks to the trust of the Queen Mother, I was entrusted with the important task of being a slave and asked me to keep an eye on the movements of Zhaoyang Palace. And since the slave took over this matter, **** did not dare to slack off. And now Mo Feng does have something to report to the Queen Mother immediately, otherwise it is likely that there will be an incident in the harem if it is too late, and even the royal bloodline will be affected. ”
The royal family has always attached the most importance to the issue of the bloodline of the heirs, so when he heard that there was something that would affect the purity of the bloodline, Empress Chen immediately couldn't sit still, and hurriedly asked:
"Mo Feng, what do you mean by this, even if Xiao Jinxuan is bold and reckless, can she still hit the idea on the heir. If she really dares to do such a thing, the mourning family will fight to completely fight with the child Xianrui, and she will definitely arrest this demon girl and punish her. ”
Hearing Empress Chen's words, Ji Lingfeng, who is now known as Mo Feng, immediately bent down more respectfully, and then continued to reply:
"Niangniang, please calm your anger first, let the slave explain the matter clearly, and you will know what is going on. Speaking of which, it started ten days ago, when Empress Xue of Fengxiang Palace intended to do the baby change, but was discovered by the emperor and Concubine Xiao and others. Concubine Xue, who was about to give birth afterwards, was buried in the fire with the baby she was born with for some reason, and was burned into a charred corpse in her bedroom. Now this is a kind of argument that everyone in the palace knows, but according to the investigation of the slaves, in fact, Concubine Xue Niangniang did not die at all, but was hidden in Zhaoyang Palace by Concubine Xiao together with the baby boy of the Xue family who wanted to pretend to be the royal heir. ”
Because Xue Yuyan now has a special identity, the fall of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the replacement of heirs are all deeply involved in it. Therefore, the fact that she is still alive naturally cannot be known.
Therefore, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was bent on protecting each other, and also thinking about the husband and wife relationship with Xue Yuyan in the past, Zhou Xianrui knew that if Empress Chen knew, he would definitely kill the other party.
Therefore, in front of the queen mother, he just talked about the abolition of the Empress Dowager Xue's family, but he didn't mention anything about Xue Yuyan.
So Empress Chen can say that the past ten days have passed, but she has been kept in the dark, and she thinks that Xue Yuyan and the baby boy of the Xue family have already died.
But now I can hear that this Concubine Xue and that little evil obstacle are still alive in Zhaoyang Palace.
was immediately oppressed by Empress Xue for most of his life, so he hated all the Empress Chen of the Xue family. Even his angry face turned a little pale, and he said with an angry smile:
"It's a good Xiao Jinxuan, she really knows how to do the best way to make the mourning family angry. Obviously, she also hated the Xue family before, how could she turn her head and rescue Xue Yuyan again. I think she is simply trying to block the mourning family, this demon girl is really hateful. After she returned to the palace, I had to ask her to hand over the people in person, execute Concubine Xue with my own hands, and kill the little evil obstacle with the blood of the Xue family, otherwise it would be a scourge to leave them after all.
In the past, when Xue Yuyan was not born, Chen Hou prayed for each other in the Buddhist hall every day, in order to ensure the safety of the mother and child, and she could quickly hold a little emperor grandson.
But as the dream of holding her grandson was shattered, Empress Chen's attitude towards Xue Yuyan also changed greatly, and she even said the words of executing the other party.
The contrast between the attitudes before and after is really a bit jaw-dropping, and I can't help but sigh in my heart, this queen mother is really more open than turning a book, which makes people feel too mean and unkind.
And when he heard that Empress Chen was going to ask Xiao Jinxuan for someone in person, Ji Lingfeng immediately shook his head disapprovingly, and immediately said his thoughts:
"The Queen Mother forgave the slave for saying bluntly, now that Concubine Xiao is protected by His Majesty, even if you speak in person, if the other party relies on the emperor's favor, he will refuse to hand him over, and then it will damage your majesty. Therefore, if you want to get rid of Concubine Xue completely, then you should first go to the emperor and explain the pros and cons to the other party, as long as Your Majesty agrees with your approach, then even if Concubine Xiao stops it, it will no longer have any effect. ”
When Empress Chen was a good concubine, because she had been suppressed by Xue Yi, she basically didn't have any henchmen except Aunt Biyun.
Now that he has Ji Lingfeng, the other party's planning is proper, which really makes Empress Chen not only rely more and more, but also be very willing to follow the other party's advice
But when Ji Lingfeng heard this, he actually asked her to talk to Zhou Xianrui about this matter, and Empress Chen's face flashed with hesitation, and she sighed and said:
"Mo Feng, if it weren't for the protection of my emperor's son, how could the mourning family still endure Concubine Xiao to this day. The other party dared to be so unscrupulous in the harem, not because Xianrui supported her. It's not that the mourning family hasn't been to the imperial study because of Xiao Jinxuan's matter, but in the end, apart from having a rather unpleasant quarrel with this son, nothing has been achieved, so Mo Feng, the idea you put forward this time is not feasible in the eyes of the mourning family. ”
Empress Chen directly refused, but Ji Lingfeng was not disappointed by this, but said with great confidence:
"The Queen Mother doesn't need to worry, the emperor would shelter Concubine Xiao in the past, and that's because there is no essential contradiction between the two of them. However, with the analysis of the slaves, in terms of our majesty's hatred of the Xue family of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the character that has always been rigorous. The slave felt that Concubine Xue was safe, and in the matter of the baby boy of the Xue family not dying, even if the emperor privately agreed to save Concubine Xiao, he may not really approve of this matter in his heart. Therefore, the Queen Mother, as long as you and Your Majesty explain the reason clearly and advise each other to make the wisest choice, then I believe that this time the emperor will definitely be on your side. ”
The child Chen Hou gave birth to herself naturally knew Zhou Xianrui's character better than others, so she couldn't help but feel that Ji Lingfeng's words should be feasible.
Empress Chen, who immediately wanted to get closer to this emperor's son, instead of asking the other party to blindly favor Xiao Jinxuan, couldn't help but immediately get up and set up the imperial study, and decided to give it a try according to Ji Lingfeng's method.
Gong sent Empress Chen to leave accompanied by Xiangping, but Ji Lingfeng did not follow.
After all, Zhou Xianrui was not as easy to deal with as Empress Chen, and Ji Lingfeng was also worried that he would show his flaws in front of this Emperor Qi with a mask, so he naturally wouldn't go to the imperial study to ask for trouble.
But even if he doesn't go, Ji Lingfeng still has great confidence in the matter of him persuading Empress Chen today and asking the other party to persuade Zhou Xianrui.
After all, Ji Lingfeng is also the person who has helped Zhou Xiantai deal with ******, and he has long analyzed Zhou Xianrui's character very thoroughly.
This Rui Wang Ye back then was definitely a person who couldn't rub sand in his eyes.
For those who are on the side of the enemy and politics, they also have the attitude that they must be dealt with, and they will never easily leave hidden dangers.
Therefore, Ji Lingfeng dared to conclude that the reason why Xue Yuyan and the baby boy were still alive was probably inseparable from Xiao Jinxuan's maintenance, and this was definitely not Zhou Xianrui's original intention.
And once Chen Houxiao reasoned, he persuaded Zhou Xianrui with emotion, and killed Xue Yuyan and the child again.
That Zhou Xianrui's approach would inevitably make Xiao Jinxuan dissatisfied, even angry.
The person Ji Lingfeng wants to get rid of the most now is Xiao Jinxuan, the other party will be in the harem for a day, he will have trouble sleeping, feeling that his identity will be revealed after all, and then die in the hands of the other party again.
Therefore, with the help of Empress Chen and Xiangping, Ji Lingfeng also tried a few times, and found that this queen mother and a princess had no choice but to Xiao Jinxuan at all.
Therefore, after a lot of time-consuming planning, Ji Lingfeng finally felt that if he wanted to bring down Xiao Jinxuan, he had to separate the relationship between her and Zhou Xianrui.
Only when there is an estrangement between the imperial concubines, when Zhou Xianrui is not trusting and sheltering Xiao Jinxuan, then he Ji Lingfeng will have the opportunity to kill the other party.
But no matter how you say it, Xiao Jinxuan went from a concubine in Yangzhou to the position of today's powerful harem, and it is no longer as simple and easy to bring her down as when the other party was still bullied in the Shuai Mansion.
Therefore, Ji Lingfeng could only wait for an opportunity in the dark, and he believed that as long as Empress Chen really persuaded Zhou Xianrui today, the day when Xiao Jinxuan would be placed in a catastrophe would never be far away.
