The concubine was secretly handed down when the news of her ability to give birth was heard, and this matter set off a little turbulent in the palace, and it was eliminated under Chunjia's quick knife slashing chaos.

…… Naturally, it can't really disappear all at once, and no one mentions it.

It's just that the emperor personally asked, so he didn't dare to say it openly.

Gu Zhen was relieved when he heard about it just now, feeling that his father still had weight for the emperor. And there is some schadenfreude, what do you say Yunfeng Huang is a pet, he is the person on the tip of Chunjia's heart, but the overall situation is important, not that he is wronged?

This emperor's favor, back and forth is just like that.

There are not a few concubines who can be called pampered and robbed of special rooms throughout the ages, but how many can die well?

In the final analysis, women in this world still have to rely on their family background, and a strong family is the real foundation of their lives.

She was so secretly proud for two days, and she realized it, but she was also afraid: Chunjia was used to forbearance, and when her strength was insufficient earlier, there were many contempts in the harem of the previous dynasty, and even the palace people were often perfunctory to this son of heaven, but he was always not impatient, and he looked indecisive and indecisive with the world.

At the end of a famous family like the Ji family, it was slaughtered if it was slaughtered...... This......

Could it be that Chunjia is in a similar situation this time, suspicious of her, but because she still has to use Gu Fangshu, she can't bear it for the time being, just wait for the war to end, and don't need Zhao Wubo and the Gu family so much, and then settle accounts after the autumn?

Otherwise, even if she didn't handle this matter directly, it was indeed done by the remnants of the Ji family, but who in the palace didn't want the concubine to have biological flesh and blood, it was clear at a glance, how could Chunjia not even come over to ask?

Even, taking 10,000 steps back, even if Chunjia didn't suspect her, as the queen, the concubine who was second only to the middle palace was murdered in the palace, or through the hands of the emperor's eldest son, the emperor did not summon the queen to reprimand, blaming her for not taking care of the palace, so that the traitor could take advantage of it???

"The Son of Heaven is scheming and ruthless." Gu Zhen was very worried, "He ...... Is he giving up the palace and the Gu family? ”

The more the queen thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she was thinking about summoning her family to discuss, but Mrs. Zhao Wubo took the initiative to hand over the post to the palace.

When he arrived at Woxia Tower, he greeted him for a while, hinting that the queen had cleared the scene, so he couldn't wait to ask: "I heard that something went wrong in the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion two days ago, but it was calm with his feet, what is going on?" ”

"I'm thinking about talking to my family." Gu Zhen hurriedly said what had happened, "...... I guess it was the hand of the remnants of the Ji family, but although His Majesty also thought so, he didn't even mention it to me afterwards. I'm wondering, is Your Majesty already suspicious of us? ”

Mrs. Zhao Wubo was taken aback, and immediately reassured: "Your father is now fighting for His Majesty in Northern Xinjiang, even if His Majesty suspects you at this time, can he still mention it to you?" Doesn't mentioning it chill the hearts of heroes! Your Majesty is a delicate person, and he will definitely not do such a thing. At most, wait for your father's class teacher to return to the court, and then ask tactfully. ”

Gu Zhen said worriedly: "But if Your Majesty doesn't think so, but he already holds a grudge, just waiting for his father to return victoriously, and hide his bow...... What's more, the concubine's personality is not unclear, even if His Majesty doesn't have such an idea, but if she has this idea, can she still give our family eye medicine these days? Do you think about how many high positions have been planted in her hands since the concubine entered the palace? is the regent, how powerful and powerful, even His Majesty has to respect Uncle Wang, but he has tried every means to find the concubine so many times to trouble, which time has the upper hand? Even if our family is sitting up straight, how can we withstand the slander of the concubine day after day? ”

"......" Mrs. Zhao Wubo pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said, "It's also okay for me to enter the palace to see Niangniang today." ”

Gu Zhen asked what was the matter.

"Didn't Mrs. Jiang, the concubine's biological mother, enter the palace two days ago?" Mrs. Zhao Wubo sighed, "Although she forced herself to press when she went back, she couldn't hide her joy. The family heard the news that the concubine borrowed the hand of a palace steward and let a few palace maids who had reached their age go out early in the morning and said that they would stay in the palace for a lifetime. The palace maids meant that they had found reliable relatives to take refuge in, but in fact, when they left the palace, they were taken to a remote courtyard. The family thought about it, and the owner of the other courtyard was surnamed Jiang, and it was the Jiang family! ”

Gu Zhen was taken aback and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I heard that over there in the Northland, the Jiang clan and the Xie clan are looking for smart and good-looking girls to send them here." Mrs. Zhaowubo said in a low voice, "At first, the family was still wondering, is it difficult for the concubine to give birth, these two families want to send young girls into the palace to serve, and also make the concubine continue to have children?" ”

"But I found out that the girls they picked were all girls around two years old."

Mrs. Zhao Wubo sighed, "You say, what is the truth of this? ”

Gu Zhen thought for a moment, and his face changed: "...... them Isn't it the idea of fighting the Ten Princes and the Twelve Princes?! ”

"If it's just the Xie family and the Jiang family, even if it's the concubine's idea, it's nothing." Mrs. Zhao Wubo said slowly, "The point is, this matter started after the Jiang family left the palace, you say, is it possible, it was His Majesty who promised the Xie family what the Jiang family?" ”

And then what did Chunjia promise to make these two families do this?

The mother and daughter immediately thought: the position of the future crown princess!

"In the past few years, the family has also learned about His Majesty's temperament." Mrs. Zhao Wubo said, "Your grandfather has discussed it, saying that even if Your Majesty favors the concubine, he will not go beyond the overall situation. So there is no need to worry about the concubine's slander. Your Majesty is not the kind of person with soft ears, and it is okay to pay for small things. This kind of important military matter related to important ministers, he will never let the Xiaoyun clan mess around because he loves the concubine. Originally, the fall of the Ji clan was enough to cause panic. It was still a long time since the Ji clan had been in trouble, and everyone in the world knew that they had forced filial piety to death in the front, and they were in the back today. ”

"If he can't tolerate someone like our family who has never had a disobedient heart, then everyone in the high-ranking family standing on his side should be in danger now!"

"Your Majesty's plans are very big, and you won't ruin people's hearts so easily."

"So as long as your father makes a meritorious contribution and atones for his sins, His Majesty will most likely not deal with it severely."

"Of course, Your Majesty is very fond of the noble concubine after all......"

Mrs. Zhao Wubo hesitated when she said this, and her voice was lower, "Your grandfather suspects that Your Majesty actually has no intention of abolishing the heir, otherwise, he would not have tried every means to suppress the Xie family in the past two years." You see, at the beginning, the noble concubine Jiji camp called her brother to return to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess couldn't give birth to her feet, so the concubine also resigned. Nowadays, although some of the Xie family still have some children who are officials, they are mostly released and do not become a climate...... However, His Majesty is also thinking about the concubine in the end, so the most likely thing is to take this opportunity to promise the concubine the position of the future crown princess. ”

"If the daughter of the Xie family or the Jiang family has such a creation, it will naturally be able to help the concubine, lest Your Majesty be ...... Don't worry about the Sunny Palace. ”

Gu Zhen calmed his face and said, "If this is the case, Your Majesty is thoughtful for the sake of the concubine, but what should I do with the Gu family?" ”

Originally, the concubine was difficult enough, even if the Xie family and the Jiang family had not been able to become a high-ranking family under the suppression of Chunjia, but the King of Qin and the Seven Princes under Yun Fenghuang's knees all had important ministers as their maternal grandfathers. Especially the Seventh Prince, Yin Qu is famous for doting on his daughter, and he also loves his grandson.

Oh, this prince also has an aunt who is the wife of the Marquis of Shouning.

are all elders who are willing to pay for him.

With such two cheap sons, even if Chunjia is not there in the future, Gu Zhen will be the queen mother, and I am afraid it will not be easy to snub her for a while.

If you add another niece to her, will the Xiaoyun family have the final say in this court, or will she Gu Zhen have the final say?

Gu Zhen almost immediately thought of Empress Dowager Yuan!

Which adoptive mother is willing to work hard for many years to be picked by a fox who suddenly appeared to pick a peach?!

Anyway, Gu Zhen definitely didn't want to.

"It's still early, let's just know it." Mrs. Zhao Wubo softly persuaded her daughter, "Your grandfather, what they mean is to make you calm down and stop doing anything. As long as His Majesty does not mean to change the concubine, no matter how much the concubine tosses, it will be useless. You have made too many moves here, so you don't have to make Your Majesty feel more sorry for her, which is not good for our family. ”

Gu Zhen said with annoyance: "At this time, my grandfather said this again, when I said that I would let the family help and find those remnants of the Ji family to pass the word, no one objected." Otherwise, what can I do in the palace? ”

“…… Your grandfather didn't want to open it at the time. Mrs. Zhao Wubo was a little embarrassed, but told her, "Your father sent a letter back a few days ago, telling him his speculation, but he persuaded your grandfather to ...... You know, our family has no intention of being sorry for His Majesty from beginning to end. Besides, you have been in the palace for many years, and Your Majesty has never favored you, which shows that there is a lack of fate between you and Your Majesty. But throughout the ages, there have been few things that have been happy with each other. Otherwise, why should people be so obsessed? Didn't you say that at the beginning? As long as you guarantee your position as queen, as long as you guarantee that Qingci Palace is yours, nothing else matters. ”

Gu Zhen bit his lip and said, "Yes, I still mean the same thing now." But have you ever thought about it? Speculation is just speculation, and Your Majesty did not swear to us that the position of the queen and the position of the East Palace will definitely be my child! Furthermore, people are subject to change. Since he was born in sorrow and died in peace, His Majesty has been in internal and external difficulties since he ascended the throne, so he has been trembling and not daring to slack off. Even now, there is a regent in the court, there are remnants of the Ji family in the country, and Wei Su in the north is also ill-intentioned. At this time, His Majesty can still guarantee wisdom and focus on the overall situation. But once these problems are solved, will Your Majesty still be so wise and powerful? ”

She raised her chin and raised her chin towards the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, and said in a low voice, "That person's mouth is sweet and poisonous, who is still unclear in the front and harem?" The concubines canonized after His Majesty's wedding, the back and forth fighting was quite intense, but everyone at least maintained their dignity and gave each other decency. So little has changed in eight years. As a result, Xiaoyun's family has only been in the palace for many years, from the queen to the concubines, who is not full of fear? Just such a master, mother, you say, if Your Majesty is really the kind of person who wants the harem wife to be peaceful, or can control himself to take care of the general situation, who is not good to spoil in these three palaces and six courtyards, and you want to spoil her?! ”

Mrs. Zhao Wubo frowned slightly.

Gu Zhen continued: "Your Majesty is still a human being no matter how wise he is, he was so filial to the Empress Dowager of His Mother back then, and he no longer had the intention of opposing the Empress Dowager of His Mother. But since the concubine has become more and more favored, you see that now the Queen Mother doesn't even come forward to speak and do things! It can be seen that even if His Majesty knows everything in his heart, he still can't help but favor the concubine in the end. He is like this when he has not yet reached the time to sit back and relax, let alone in the future? ”

"......," Mrs. Zhao Wubo was silent for a moment, and said, "Then what do you want?" ”

"My Gu family's only reliance is the Dingbei Army." Gu Zhen looked at her and said seriously, "Now even the Dingbei Army has been mixed into many people by His Majesty, just waiting for the war to end, find an excuse to summon my father back to the imperial capital to take up his post, and it is unknown whether he can return to the army in the future." But...... Your Majesty is not a mediocre person, and knows what is important. Now that the army is outside, and it is wartime, he will not touch his father, me and the Gu family. ”

Mrs. Zhao Wubo stared at her for a moment before she said, "You want your father...... Raising a thief with self-respect?! This is not easy to get, after all, many noble children who went out with the army, especially the Wei family, can all count on this merit in exchange for a reward. Even if your father finds a reason to let Wei Su go, they won't agree to the low-hanging fruit! ”

Gu Zhen pursed his lips and asked rhetorically, "That'...... In the future, the life and death of our family, what else can we do except entrust Your Majesty with a thought? ”

These words made Mrs. Zhao Wubo silent.

After a long while, she said lightly, "I'll go back and discuss with your grandfather." ”

Gu Zhen watched her retire quietly, her eyes were unbearable, she remembered that when she was a child, she followed her father and brother at the border pass in Yanzhou, and occasionally saw those border people who were brutalized by Wei Su, who was taken captive across the border...... At that time, Gu Fangshu taught her that if she was not of my race, her heart would be different, and she said that the children of the Gu family should remember that Yi Di is like a beast for eternity, and they are afraid of power and virtue.

Although Gu Fangshu was born in a family of eunuchs, he was a commander who was promoted step by step from the ranks.

When he was a young man, he often witnessed the cruelty of the people slaughtered by Wei Su, so he hated Wei Su deeply.

This time he led the troops to join forces with the fine efa to attack Hele, which was of course Chunjia's order, and he himself was happy to see it...... He sincerely hoped that Wei Su would be completely weakened, and then disappear like so many other races in the past.

At that time, Gu Zhen was a young man, and he didn't feel that he was not a man, and he couldn't be like his brothers, straddle the horse and pull the bow, fight in front of the battle, and defend the national frontier with Zhu Paoze.

…… Just a few years ago, when she accompanied Chunjia out hunting, she seemed to be a little unmotivated.

But since he sat in the back seat, Gu Zhen felt that he was becoming less and less like himself.

The queen, who was still in Shaohua, raised her hand, touched her cheek, and smiled to herself.

I thought of what I had just persuaded Mrs. Zhao Wubo: People's hearts are fickle.

In this turbulent world, who can remain the same?

Gu Zhen clenched her fists and silently told herself: She was forced to do so, and those who achieved great things were not informal...... Yun Fenghuang is so favored and so domineering and arrogant, Chunjia just indulges her in everything, if she doesn't have this ruthlessness, he will be a knife and I will be a fish, how can there be any good end?

Moreover, Yun Fenghuan is arbitrary and biased towards her mother's family, as a favorite concubine, she will not give the Xie family and the Jiang family a bias, once she is made the queen mother, will it not be a repeat of the Ji family's affairs?

"I am for the Gu family and for the ...... of the country" Gu Zhen's eyes seemed to be the bloody and painful scenes she witnessed when she was a child, she was a little flustered, a little unbearable, and a little confused and grabbed the handrail, and her expression gradually turned firm with the murmuring over and over again, "...... As the queen, the palace sacrificed a little border peace in order to eliminate hidden dangers, and Kuang Fu Sheji...... Stand to reason! Stand to reason!!! ”
