Several of the attendants were startled and subconsciously looked at each other.

It's no wonder that after serving Yun Fenghuang for all these years, it is not clear what kind of character this lady has?

Since he is at odds with the Empress Dowager and has the ambition to covet the East Palace, it is no longer common for the Empress Dowager Yuan to poison the Twelve Princes.

As for the Empress Dowager Qu, it doesn't look like a hostile one.

But, who told her to be on the ship?

At this moment, Qing people, Chen Jing and the others all doubted that the other party had done something under the order, but he didn't do a good job?

"......" Yun Fenghuang noticed their expressions, and was speechless for a while, before he said tiredly, "The palace change was last night, the two queen mothers and the twelve princes fell into the water less than a day ago, the palace rested for a while and woke up, and they still don't know anything, Xingningbo and his wife are far away outside the palace, but even the murderer knows?" In that case, what about the confrontation between the Imperial Front! ”

Empress Dowager Yuan, this old thing!!

Hongu really underestimated her!

I thought that the well water had not interfered with the river water for the past two years, but this old immortal had accepted his fate after weighing his status in the emperor's mind, and he didn't take the initiative to find trouble.

But she didn't want to, she thought about killing the Empress Dowager Yuan before giving birth, but the Empress Dowager Yuan was also worried about ending her!

The palace changed in the middle of the night, and he left the island early in the morning, and it was only a few hours in between, so he decisively risked his life to frame his favorite concubine...... Although Yun Fenghuang was angry in his heart at the moment, he was also a little convinced.

She used her life to frame the Empress Dowager Yuan, but there was no way to do it.

This queen mother is not, as Chunjia's adoptive mother, not a favorite concubine, there is no crisis of falling out of favor, to be honest, as long as this city is concerned, as long as you don't go against Chunjia, there is no problem at all if you are rich and rich for a lifetime and to a certain extent, it will be a descendant.

In the end, you worked hard to educate the emperor, didn't you?

But I don't want to be so open-minded.

There is no successor to the Yuan family, if Yuan Neem Niang, Yuan Yuan Niang, and Yuan Yuniang learn their own aunt's eighty percent methods, Yun Fenghuang will have a headache.

"What did the people say?" Fixed, Yun Fenghuan asked.

The palace man said quickly: "Someone said, Your Majesty said, Niangniang is pregnant and frightened, and she will go over when Niangniang wakes up." ”

Yun Fenghuang looked outside when he heard this, it was already dusk at this time, and in a few moments, the palace gate would be locked.

Concerned about the safety of the two queen mothers and the prince, Chunjia said this, obviously not believing the accusations of Xingningbo and his wife, and sending someone over was just perfunctory.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but also a little unspeakably sour.

How so?

If the emperor simply treats her badly, for example, like the queen, it is almost a clear exchange price, I will give you the position and power of the queen, don't think about favoring; Or like the King of Qin and Zhaoqing, he is very merciful and takes what he takes, but at a critical moment, he is worthless...... She's not a ruthless person who can't get into intrigues.

When the time comes, each by means is willing to gamble and lose.

Although Yun Fenghuang is not broad-minded, he definitely can't afford to lose.

But on the contrary, the emperor has sincere love and trust for her, but this sincerity is obviously far away from making Yun Fenghuang feel satisfied and safe.

It makes people love but dare not love to the end, and hate and can't hate a little...... Yun Fenghuang sighed, and said in his heart that this might be retribution.

That's how she handled Qi Jiulu at the beginning.

…… No, although she has played some tricks with Qi Jiulu, she is probably still sincere to him, but she is worried that this person will change her mind in the future and take precautions.

As for Chunjia, he has his own arrangements for the future, and he does not use his favor as a transfer.

If he wasn't the favorite concubine he loved, Yun Fenghuang would admire him very much.

After all, the Son of Heaven, who has a firm heart and a deep city government and has the intention of revitalizing the country, as a subject, why not love it?

But she is in it, but it is full of love and hate.

"Since it involves the two queen mothers and the twelve princes, how dare this palace slacken?" Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Let the people wait for a while, and after the palace has made up, I will go to the palace to reply." ”

She looked calm, and the attendants didn't take it seriously.

If you had heard about such a big crime in the past two years, the people who were waiting for it would have to panic.

But now, I am used to seeing all kinds of turnovers of the concubine, and I have confidence in her emperor's favor, and the confidence of my henchmen has also been sharpened.

Empress Dowager Yuan personally went out and was helpless to take Yunfeng Huang, what kind of thing are Xingningbo and his wife?

It's just that Yun Fenghuang's heart is far from being as relaxed as they think.

Empress Dowager Yuan is not stupid!

may have been when Chun Jiacai was in power, the queen mother also overestimated her status and influence in her son's mind, and directly scolded Yun Fenglian, and then ...... And then there was a succession of disgrace.

Coupled with a series of incidents caused by the poisoning of the Empress Dowager Qu, it even reached the point where Chunjia personally talked to her face, and the relationship between mother and son was tense for a while.

After two years of silence, how can you not be sure of this sudden move?

Moreover, Xingningbo and his wife came forward, instead of Empress Dowager Yuan herself, this sentence alone can infer a lot of news.

Yun Fenghuang is not worried about anyone looking for Chunjia to call the shots, she is very confident in the emperor's city and skills.

If she really did this, then she might still be scared, but since she didn't do it, she believes that Chunjia has the ability and willingness to show her snow.

What she is worried about is that after Empress Dowager Yuan learns a lesson, this time she will use the pressure from the outside world, or the previous dynasty, to eradicate herself.

After all, although she is confident that she still has a lot of weight in the emperor's mind, it can be seen from Chunjia's resolute refusal to make her the queen, let alone consider her heirs as the prince...... Chunjia's feelings for her also have limits.

As long as the situation promoted by Empress Dowager Yuan this time made the emperor weigh it and think that it was necessary to give up the concubine, then ......

"Chen Zhu." After thinking for a moment, Yun Fenghuang called Chen Zhu to him in a low voice, "You go to Chongchang Hall now." ”

A moment later, in the Chongchang Palace, Queen Gu Zhen looked at the Ten Princes who were asleep on her knees, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Chen Zhu? What is he doing here? ”

"Niangniang, just now Xingningbo and his wife entered the palace to meet him, and he seems to have said something to His Majesty. His Majesty immediately sent people to Xuanqing Palace. The palace man said in a low voice, "I wonder if the concubine Niangniang sent this deputy manager here at this moment, if it has something to do with it?" ”

Gu Zhen's expression was cold and haggard, and he said lightly: "But what does this have to do with us?" It's all the tip of His Majesty's heart, they fight, and His Majesty doesn't know which side to stand on, let alone the palace? ”

"The servant went and sent him?"

"Wait." Gu Zhen looked up at the top of the hall, and after a moment, he said, "That's it, let him come in." ”

"The queen mother knows that today the boat capsized behind the Taichu Palace, who did it?" Chen Zhu came to the palace to meet the queen, and he didn't say anything, and said bluntly, "At that time, the two queen mothers planned to bring the two princesses with them!" It's just that the ten princes are worried about you, and they are crying and want to go back to the harem first. The Empress Dowager was very impatient, and after being persuaded by her mother, she agreed to leave the ten princes behind and be taken care of by my mother. And the two queen mothers only took the twelve princes to the Taichu Palace to visit Your Majesty! ”

Gu Zhen said lightly: "What do you mean by your master asking you to say this?" Is it a hint that the palace and the boat capsized, but the two queen mothers, no, it should be the mother dowager, deliberately targeting the Queen Mother and the Twelve Princes? And your mother is kind-hearted and has protected the ten princes for the palace? ”

Chen Zhu shook his head and said: "My mother said that although these are all facts, the queen mother must not appreciate it." The mother sent the slave maid to come, just to remind the queen mother: If my mother is lost this time, dare to ask the queen mother, in the future, similar things will be the turn of the queen mother, and the queen mother will have the power to fight back? ”

Gu Zhen sighed and said disdainfully: "This palace is dull, and it has never been comparable to your mother." ”

Empress Dowager Yuan is not easy to deal with, once Concubine Min falls, this palace also knows that the next thing she wants to target must be this palace!

But, what is Min Guifei good?

Now it seems that the queen mother has set up a situation to trap the concubine, so that with the imperial favor of the concubine, she has to send someone to contact the middle palace...... However, if Gu Zhen helped Yun Fenghuan this time, would Yun Fenghuan appreciate it? Impossible things.

The purpose of this is the posterior, the position of the prince, and the Qingci Palace in the future!

Since this is the case, sooner or later she will also target Gu Zhen!

And Gu Zhen knows very well that he can't fight the Empress Dowager Yuan, but he can't fight the allergic concubine!

So what's so bad about watching these two sides dog-eat-dog?

She wished that these two would tear up a little bit of a big move this time, the kind of defeat that would hurt both.

It's time to pick up the bargain!

"The queen has always been kind, my mother knows." Chen Zhu had been told before he came, but he just smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's just that this palace change, the rebels are from the north." It even has a lot to do with the high-ranking disciples who died in the chaos reported by Zhao Wubo...... It's just that at the court meeting this morning, His Majesty suppressed a similar impeachment with all his might, and even handed over the matter of the rebels to the Gu family to preside. Niang Niang, what does Your Majesty mean by this? ”

"No matter what it means, it's all a matter of the previous dynasty, what does it have to do with the women of the deep palace in this palace?" Gu Zhen has been awakened from last night until now, and he hasn't closed his eyes for more than ten hours.

It's not fear, it's anger, it's shame, it's ...... Miscellaneous flavors.

She knew that Chunjia didn't love her, and in fact, she didn't necessarily love Chunjia herself.

It's just that the young man was sent to the palace, and he has been with this son of heaven for many years, and there is no trace of a second man in his life except for his father and brother, and it is difficult not to focus considerable attention on Chunjia.

Especially this man is also related to the future of her, her family, and her heirs.

So when the palace change happened, the people in front of the emperor arrived in a hurry, but they only took away the ten princes and the twelve princes, and Gu Zhen really couldn't describe his feelings.

At this time, she woke up to one point, that is, she actually had a faint and naïve expectation of the emperor in her heart.

Looking forward to the company for many years, he thinks a little about her in his heart, even if not for anything else, because she is his rightful queen and the middle palace...... Shouldn't she be taken away at this time?!

The rebels didn't break into the harem!

If you enter, even if you fail to enter the middle palace, as long as you wander through the harem, you can imagine that the reputation of the concubine in the palace is still there?

When the time comes, Gu Zhen and other concubines, apart from collectively committing suicide to protect their own reputation and that of their families, what else can they do? !

If they don't kill themselves, they will kill themselves.

This is clear to Chunjia, and it is impossible not to be unclear...... So he took the concubine!!

even threw away the eldest son and eldest daughter who were usually very favored!

And Gu Zhen, as his successor, the master of the Six Palaces, sent someone to pick up the two young princes, but he didn't mention her!

What does this mean?

It means that he gave her the status and power of the queen, and also persuaded the concubine to maintain the dignity of the middle palace, but in his heart, Gu Zhen's weight is insignificant at all!

Not only does he not love her, but he doesn't value her at all!

Perhaps in the emperor's mind, he just needs a woman with a noble birth, ordinary wrists, and who can't give birth to himself to sit in the queen's seat, anyone can do it.

He wouldn't want Gu Zhen to die, but he didn't care about her death either.

Even he didn't care that Gu Zhen understood this.

This feeling......

So far, I feel that my heart and intestines have been divided inch by inch, and the pain is unspeakable.

Gu Zhen faced the concubine's close attendants at this moment, and did not immediately ask someone to drag them out and beat them to death, and he admired his patience.

Maybe I've been angry in the deep palace for the past two years, and I'm used to it.

The queen thought indifferently and said lightly, "Your mother has always been cunning, this palace can't trust her, and I don't want to believe her!" If you don't have anything else, go down. ”

"Niangniang, Your Majesty wants the tenth or twelfth prince under your knees to ascend the throne, and this point has been obvious since last night." Chen Zhu smiled and said softly, "But forgive the slave maid for saying bluntly: Niangniang, the prince under your knees, there are really some disasters. His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the most pity; Now the twelve princes are also greatly injured, and it is unknown what will happen in the future! As for the Ten Princes......"

His smile was a little subtle, "Whether the mother recognizes this love or not, I can't help but admit it: the tenth prince came to you safely and soundly because he followed my mother!" ”

Gu Zhen had a cold face and didn't speak.

Chen Zhu said again: "Actually, this is not the first time that my mother has sheltered the prince!" At the end of last year's summer vacation, on the way back to the imperial capital...... Queen Mother, should you still remember? ”

After saying this, he bowed down, "The slave and maid are finished, and the slave and maid will retire!" ”

And then really turn around and leave.

This surprised the queen's attendants.

After all, the concubine sent someone from the bone, obviously asking for help.

With such an attitude of the queen, how dare Chen Zhu go?

"......" Gu Zhen stared at his back, his lips moved when he stepped out of the palace threshold, but he didn't make a sound, and after Chen Zhuzhen didn't look back and kept leaving, Fang slowly exhaled, only to feel a layer of sweat beads on his forehead, and asked slowly: "You say, if there is no concubine, the palace will ...... Can you protect the little ten and twelve under the hands of the Queen Mother? ”

Left and right were stunned, and immediately understood the meaning of Chen Zhu's words just now: the concubine knew that the middle palace would not remember her love for protecting the ten princes, and even the middle palace did not think that this was the kindness of the concubine.

However, don't talk about affection, only about interests: although the concubine covets the position of the East Palace, isn't the Queen Mother the Mother?

The three princes under the queen's knees who are recorded as concubines, the king of Chu has been abolished, the twelve princes have drowned and are still unconscious, and only one tenth prince is still fine.

The two princes who had the accident, at least in the eyes of the queen, were inseparable from the Empress Dowager Yuan!

But what can the queen do with the Empress Dowager Yuan?

No!

She now only has one of the ten princes, if something happens to the ten princes......

King Qin was seven years old!!

If you hold the prince again, even if Chunjia agrees, the Gu family will have to consider the risk.

Because if it drags on for a few years, to say something unpleasant, King Qin can get married and open a mansion.

At that time, he was full of wings and in the prime of life, but the prince was only able to speak...... How does this make the prince fight with his brother?

Of course, judging from last night, the emperor's feelings for King Qin are just like that, and he still firmly supports his son-in-law, and in order to ensure that his son-in-law ascends the throne smoothly in the future, it may not be impossible to abolish King Qin.

The problem is that the son of the emperor's concubine is not the only one of the kings of Qin.

Excluding the second prince and the third prince who are unlikely to sit on the throne with special backgrounds, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, the eighth prince, the ninth prince, the eleventh prince, and the thirteenth prince...... The emperor may take the initiative to kill one or two concubines for the sake of his concubines, and can he also solve all the concubines?

Not to mention that after these concubines grow up, they are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Especially the princes with a strong maternal family.

Even if the biological mother is poor, after marrying a high family, there is also the support of the wife.

At that time, even Chunjia will have to weigh it.

After all, although this son of heaven has opinions, he is not a stubborn person, and he will not do anything that he knows the consequences are serious and does not care about it and only wants to be happy.

All in all, the queen is on the prince, or the entire Gu family is on the prince, and she can't afford to lose.

Think about it, if the Twelve Princes don't survive this time, and the Ten Princes will have an accident in the future, what can the Queen and the Gu family do? They have only a choice...... The Eighth Prince!

Even if Yuan Yuniang is dead, then they will have to face the results of Yuan's years of hard work.

If you don't evaluate it with emotion, it's actually okay.

Compared with the bamboo basket to draw water, and the danger of facing the emperor's bow alone, when there is no way, he supports the eighth prince to take the throne and wins over the arm of the Empress Dowager Yuan, but it is also safe.

But......

The queen herself did not want this.

She has been so angry with Empress Dowager Yuan in the past two years, she doesn't want this old thing's plan to succeed at all.

Especially if she was worried that the eighth prince would become the crown prince...... It's okay if Empress Dowager Yuan is dead, if this old thing is a long-lived one, then, wouldn't she continue to be angry?!

After all, Gu Zhen didn't feel that he was the opponent of Empress Dowager Yuan.

“…… Send someone to the front and ask what happened. Gu Zhen's face changed for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Bring the Ten Princes over again, and the palace will teach him some words." ”

She was still very unwilling in her heart, after all, she didn't like Empress Dowager Yuan, and she was also disgusted with Yun Fenglian.

But I have to admit that what Chen Zhu brought over makes sense: in this palace, only Yun Fenghuang can compete with Empress Dowager Yuan.

In the same matter, if someone else goes to expose the Empress Dowager Yuan, the Son of Heaven may turn his face and deny people and directly shield his adoptive mother.

But if Yun Fenghuang says it, the result is difficult to say.

The Son of Heaven had a hard time choosing between them, but he maintained a relatively fair attitude.

Therefore, if Concubine Min falls, Gu Zhen alone will not be able to keep the prince under her knees.

Even Chun Jia knew that Empress Dowager Yuan had killed the prince...... Could he still take his adoptive mother for the sake of a dead son?

At that time, the queen can only go according to the arrangement of the Empress Dowager Yuan, raise the eight princes, and share the glory and status of Qingci Palace.

Even the dove occupies the magpie's nest, and can only pick up some leftovers.

If Yunfeng Huang is protected this time, with this noble concubine to check and balance, Empress Dowager Yuan wants to murder the prince, and she has enough fear......

No, that's all, then I'm too passive!

Gu Zhen thought silently, she had to make the concubine pay enough price.

The next moment, she thought again, the concubine was so cautious this time, and her attitude was not at all the ease with the attack before, if there was a chance, could she let go of the Empress Dowager Yuan?

Is there a way to let the concubine solve the Empress Dowager Yuan, and then ...... She exposed the concubine again, in this way, these six palaces are not pure?

But Gu Zhen quickly woke up from this fantasy, unless the providence was on her, it was better to forget it...... These two are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they have decided to stand up for the concubine, as for calculating these two, forget it, don't plunge into it yourself when the time comes, but it will be self-defeating.

Merely......

I really want to think about it, I think I want to think about it, I really want to think that these two will die immediately!

Gu Zhen sighed faintly, raised his head and said, "You said that Your Majesty insisted on the innocence of the Gu family this time, and asked your grandfather and uncle to thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of the rebels...... What is the purpose? ”

This is also the reason why she decided to keep the concubine, and it is an important reason.

Chunjia didn't care about her, but she cared about the prince under her knees, and tried her best to protect the Gu family in this situation...... No matter how sensitive Gu Zhen was, he reacted, the emperor didn't love her, but he really had a little sincerity and let her enter the Qingci Palace.

Then the threat of the concubine doesn't seem to be so big.

After all, as long as Chunjia insists on establishing a successor, all the glorious status comes from the emperor's favor, so what?

is the Empress Dowager Yuan, although her status and glory are also closely related to Chunjia, but her kindness to Chunjia is well known to the world, and it is the same as the Ji family, which belongs to the kind where the emperor has to consider public opinion and consider the evaluation of history even if he wants to eradicate it.

Everyone in the world knows that everything about the concubine comes from the emperor, so the emperor took it back, and no one said anything about the emperor.

But Empress Dowager Yuan is to the emperor, it is the kindness, the love of teaching, the planning and assistance related to the position, and the companionship of more than 20 years...... Also, the mother-son friendship.

Chunjia respects her, not only out of affection for each other, but also out of necessity.

Even after the concubine Ji Sheng went, the Son of Heaven was privately criticized for not treating his heir mother well, and he was biased towards the Fuyang King.

But the close ministers can also understand that in the end, Empress Dowager Yuan is the elder who has raised and treated him well for many years.

Fifteen years of careful upbringing and hard cultivation, if you immediately turn to the Ji clan because you have succeeded to the big sect, then ...... It's something to look down on!

Chunjia's filial piety and connivance with the Empress Dowager Yuan is also a guarantee in the eyes of the important ministers. is that everyone sees his attitude towards the Empress Dowager Yuan, and can't help but feel that as long as he is loyal to him, even if it is impossible to treat the Empress Dowager Yuan in the future, he will definitely be treated well. Son of Heaven, I still miss the old love very much......

Otherwise, Ji Sheng, the heir's mother, will not have a good end, and the hard-working adoptive mother will not have a good old age, such a person, who would dare to work wholeheartedly for him?

The words that the concubine asked Chen Zhu to bring were of course to move Gu Zhen to make a move, but it was not unreasonable.

Empress Dowager Yuan is the middle palace, or the Gu family, the real confidant!
