Chapter 11: Gu Zhen's Choice

Wei Hengyan, who was appeased and promised by Yun Fenghuan, calmed down and waited calmly for his daughter to be crowned princess.

Even she privately pulled her henchmen to ponder the title with Tang Muyi, wanting to rely on her relationship with the concubine to pick a good one for Gongxiang.

As a result, after thinking about it for two days, she didn't have any thoughts.

Because the wind chill of the king of Chu did not improve.

At this time, the middle-aged man still has a situation where the wind chill is gone, let alone such a big child?

The king of Chu began to have a fever the night before the queen mother returned, and Gu Zhen was like a great enemy, and he personally watched it for a night.

If it weren't for the fact that Chunjia needed to get up early the next morning to go to Shanyuanguan to welcome back the Empress Dowager, she would have sent someone to inform Chunjia at that time.

Later, the Empress Dowager returned, and Chunjia also rushed to Woxia Tower to guard her only concubine with her.

This is three days and three nights, during which the emperor and queen have never left Woxia Tower for half a step, and the government affairs are all passed in by Yan Yin and others for Chunjia to dispose of.

However, the emperor's intentions were not rewarded, although the Tai Hospital sent the top Tai Doctor who was good at pediatrics, and after several diagnoses and treatments, the King of Chu still had a high fever.

When the news came out, there was a lot of rumors throughout the palace.

Even the noble concubine Yun Fenghuan, who has always been flamboyant, privately told him to be more restrained left and right, and not to make bad comments in the limelight.

After all, once the concubine is lost, the identity of the eldest son of the eldest prince is the most noble among the princes.

Queen Gu Zhen can't give birth, but in this situation, Chunjia will not arrange for her to adopt the prince as a concubine again.

"It's been so long, even if His Royal Highness the King of Chu saves it, I'm afraid people will ......" Although I didn't dare to go out and say what to do, but such a big matter, in private, it was inevitable to discuss, "How else can I do this?" It's strange to say, the previous concubine Niangniang came to cry very reasonably, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu was raised in Yijia Palace, he was younger than now, but he has always been disease-free. Why did this happen to the queen mother? ”

"Isn't it that Fuze is too heavy to bear?"

"After all, we are also crowned kings, isn't our Royal Highness King Qin a good child?"

"If you want me to say, maybe the queen's mother is not as good as our concubine Niangniang, and she can't protect His Royal Highness the King of Chu, so that His Royal Highness the King of Chu will fall into such a fate?"

…… These words seem to be for Yun Fenghuan's sake, but once they get out, they will definitely put her on the cusp.

Therefore, after getting the revelation, she immediately grabbed the discussed ones, and killed two of them in public as a warning, and finally shocked the up and down, and didn't dare to mutter.

Compared with the concubine's quick knife to cut through the mess, not every other palace concubine can restrain the palace people from chewing the root of their tongues.

Especially the concubines who were newly promoted from several palace concubines.

Fortunately, their palace people also know that their master is from a humble background and has a shallow foundation, so even if they talk about it, they don't dare to arrange a noble person like the queen and concubine indiscriminately.

They were surprised that the King of Chu was with the three princes, why was the third prince fine, and the King of Chu was sick like this?

Obviously, because the third prince is a twin son with the second prince and was born in the palace, he was far weaker than an ordinary baby when he landed, and he was better later raised and raised. is the king of Chu, although the Chen family is only a palace concubine, but as the first pregnant one in Yijia Palace, there are already four princes and two princesses in the palace before giving birth, and she is not eye-catching at all. The main seat Wei Hengyan is not particularly kind but not ruthless, he gives everything that should be given, and even because of his subsequent pregnancy, he often summons the Chen family to talk to him, which is not in vain, and every time he will reward some nourishing things that can only be enjoyed by the lord.

Coupled with the fact that the King of Chu was born at term, there has never been any rumor that he is not strong enough.

Wei Hengyan was not particularly dedicated when he raised him, but he was also disaster-free, right?

In the hands of the queen, the first time I got sick for the first time in more than half a year, I actually felt a little unwell, this ...... They suspect that Mo has been cursed?

"Otherwise, there are so many doctors guarding it, and they say that it's just an ordinary wind cold, why can't even the heat go away?" The palace people whispered, "Can't you be a dignified imperial doctor who can't even look at the wind and cold of ordinary children, right?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the only concubine...... Isn't that eye-catching? ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, it's not a joke."

They discussed these words quietly, and then told them to their most trusted friends, so they quickly spread throughout the palace.

Then he was told by the Imperial City Division to the emperor.

Gu Zhen was already extremely tormented, and when he heard the news, he collapsed directly, and pulled Chunjia's sleeve: "Check!" Must check! If anyone curses my son, I want her to live with my family!! ”

Chun Jia's face sank like water, and said, "Let Sun Yu come over!" ”

didn't directly answer Gu Zhen's words.

He is not Gu Zhen, he cares and doesn't say anything, even if he doesn't mess up, he is easier to fool.

Chunjia's first reaction when he heard this was: Isn't there someone who wants to take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents?

When the king of Chu was sick for many days and had not subsided his fever, if someone stuffed something that should not be in the opposite room or something, and then used the mouth of the palace people to arouse the emperor's suspicion, when it was found out, what happened to his opponent?

He is now annoyed by the condition of the King of Chu, who dares to use him as a gunman at this juncture, he really has no temper?!

After a while, Sun Yu arrived, and Chunjia ordered him in front of Gu Zhen to immediately investigate the Sixth Palace.

"Your Majesty did this because you have already guessed who did it?!" Waiting for Sun Yu to take the order and leave, Gu Zhen, whose eyes were red, couldn't bear it anymore and asked Chun Jia, "Your Majesty is worried that the concubine won't be able to finish?" ”

Chunjia glanced at her: "Is the queen confused?" How could this be done by the concubine? ”

Gu Zhen laughed miserably: "If it wasn't for the noble concubine, who would be worthy of His Majesty's maintenance?" Oh, and maybe Rouquin? Is it a concubine? In short, in the eyes of His Majesty, the King of Chu is gone, right? ”

"The queen is too sad, maybe confused." Chunjia said calmly, "Concubine Shu and Rou Kun have no children under their knees, what good is it to murder the King of Chu?" As for the concubine, it was what she meant when she made you the queen, and the king of Chu hugged you to your knees or the concubine helped persuade Concubine De in private, but why did she bother to be unfavorable to the king of Chu? ”

Although this kind of borrowing the topic to play is very much like Yun Fenghuang's handiwork, Chunjia thinks that the most unlikely thing to do is Yun Fenghuang.

Not only because Gu Zhen and the five princes can have the suggestion that they are all concubines today, but also because the princes are still young, and the previous dynasty has not proposed to establish a prince.

Even if she kills the five princes, what's the point of making the eldest prince the most honorable among the princes?

The emperor valued the Gu family one day, and killed ten or eight successive princes, but Fan Chunjia still had a prince under his knees, and he would still hug the queen to appease Zhaowu Bofu.

Moreover, how much older is the eldest prince than the fifth prince? Although there has been no illness or disaster so far, no one dares to guarantee that he will be able to grow up peacefully. Even if the adoptive mother Yun Fenghuan has a powerful wrist, but there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, like King Chu this time, it is said that it is an ordinary wind and cold, but the heat has not been able to go down, is it not more auspicious?

If Yun Fenghuang had tried his best to kill the King of Chu now, and as a result, his son had not been able to grow up, who would have been cheaper in the end?

How shrewd is Yun Fenghuan, how could he do such an unworthy thing?

Chunjia is in a bad mood now, and he doesn't bother to tell Gu Zhen these details, so he only said: "The King of Chu is the son of the queen and my flesh and blood, he suffered such a crime at a young age, how can I not feel distressed?" But the queen is already in turmoil, should I also follow the mess? What is the benefit of this for the King of Chu? ”

"Queen, think about it. I still have some government affairs to deal with, so I'll go first. ”

Waiting for the emperor to brush his sleeves away, Gu Zhenmu ran for a long time, and turned his head sideways to ask the henchman who didn't dare to come out: "You say...... He said this, really not to protect Yun Fenghuan's cheap maid? ”

The henchman said cautiously: "The servant thinks that His Majesty does not seem to be a hypocrisy, and besides, even if the noble concubine Niangniang murders His Royal Highness the King of Chu now, she may not be able to have the last laugh." The concubine is still young, and His Majesty is also in the prime of spring and autumn, so why take this risk? ”

Gu Zhen said abruptly: "If it's not her, then who is it?" As His Majesty just said, what good is it for others to harm the King of Chu? Concubine Shu De Concubine Shao has no children under her knees, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shao are pregnant, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, and the palace believes that they will not have the extra energy to calculate others. Concubine An has fallen out of favor, but she relies on her mother, the Queen Mother, and the Six Palaces to enter the water without violating the river, and guarding the Six Princes. Although Concubine Xie's background is not low, she has always been unknown, she has never mixed things, and she does not have the ability to mix things. Mrs. Roukun is a daughter of a different race, even if she gives birth to eighteen princes, if Her Majesty has other heirs, it will not be her turn to worry about Qingci Palace! ”

"Mrs. Qingshu has just won the second prince, and she is racking her brains to take care of it, I'm afraid that she has no intention of anything else."

"And as far as this palace knows about the Cui family, she is not such a person."

"Xuan Zhaoyi and Jia Zhaoyuan are also mediocre without their sons, the king of Chu has three long and two short, what advantage can they take advantage of?"

"The Yi clan at the bottom has just been mentioned, and it's too late to stabilize their position and climb up, where did they get the ability to murder the King of Chu?"

"You say, there are only so many people in the Six Palaces, this doesn't seem to be that or that, could it be that the King of Chu should have this catastrophe in his fate?"

The henchmen were afraid to speak.

In fact, she thinks maybe that's it?

Because at this time, the children born in many families are generally taken care of, and there are always some who die due to various reasons.

Maybe the king of Chu is in this category?

But the henchmen didn't dare to say this, so they only said: "Niangniang, maybe some people have a set behind the surface, but we don't see it, and we are waiting for the report of the Imperial City Division?" As Your Majesty said, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is your son and His Majesty's heir. Even if Your Majesty is usually busy with government affairs and does not meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu many times, but by nature, father and son, he can still watch His Royal Highness the King of Chu murder people but be indifferent? ! ”

Gu Zhen pursed his lips, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Do you say that this matter really has nothing to do with the concubine?" ”

“…… Niangniang, the maid thought, even if His Majesty favors the concubine Niangniang, he will not sit back and watch the concubine Niangniang plot to kill the emperor's heir, especially the concubine! The henchman hurriedly said, "Don't mess with yourself, now His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the most important, and His Royal Highness has his own sky."

Phase, it's going to be fine! ”

The King of Chu is not dead yet, you have to tear up with Chunjia's trusted favorite concubine here, what if the treatment of His Royal Highness the King of Chu is delayed?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the king of Chu is not saved, and he doesn't have no evidence to find trouble with the concubine, who is the concubine? That's the master who can pull out three points of reason if he doesn't pay attention, don't find her to settle accounts when the time comes, but will be deducted from the charge!

Although there is Gu who will not lose the position of queen, Chunjia doesn't like Gu Zhen very much, isn't this even worse!

Of course, if the concubine is really suspicious, the henchman does not say that he still has to excuse Yun Fenghuan, but at least discuss it with the family, let the Gu family put pressure on the previous dynasty and start from the weak point of the concubine!

The most difficult thing about Yun Fenghuang is her emperor's favor, and it is simply stupid to fight her in the harem!

"......" Gu Zhen's expression was condensed, and she didn't say a word, just when she was worried about how to continue to persuade her, she suddenly said, "Then you say, this palace will go to her to help find out the real murderer of the King of Chu, will she agree?" ”

The henchman was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while?

Gu Zhen continued to himself: "Anyway, this palace doesn't believe that the King of Chu is so good, how could he be like this because of a wind and cold?!" The palace is dull, and I can't find out the clues, Your Majesty...... Hongu doesn't know what His Majesty is thinking. The concubine has a treacherous mind, but since she has pushed the palace and the king of Chu to her current position, there must be a place for the mother and son of the palace. Now that the king of Chu is not good, it may not be good for the concubine. ”

After a pause, she said slowly, "The concubine should agree." ”

"Niangniang, but a person like the noble concubine Niangniang, even if she agrees, do you know if she will take the opportunity to announce her personal vendetta?" The henchman reminded in a low voice, "The concubine Niangniang used similar means to exclude dissidents earlier, you took the initiative to find her staff for such a thing, can she still let go of this opportunity?" ”

"So what?" Gu Zhen closed his eyes, there was an astringent pain in his eyes, but he couldn't shed tears, he was crying for the King of Chu in the past few days, "This palace is not smart enough and not shrewd enough, I have been in the palace for eleven years, and I have not been able to protect myself, so that I can't give birth; didn't do anything for the family, but tired my father and grandfather quarreled several times for the queen's throne; Now that I can't even keep the child under my knees, what do you mean by what this queen did? People always have to have a reason to live, this palace does not please His Majesty, and the second half of his life points to the two princes, how old are they? Now that they have suffered a loss, if this palace follows Your Majesty like this, it will be over, who do you say will still put them in their eyes in the future?! ”

The henchman really wanted to say that the emperor couldn't say it, didn't he send Sun Yu to investigate?

But thinking about it, Chunjia asked Sun Yu to find out and not make a noise, and first told the emperor, obviously it depends on the situation.

So it's really hard to say whether it will give the King of Chu an explanation......

Gu Zhen obviously thought of this, she didn't trust Chunjia at all now, she would rather believe in Yun Fenghuan.

Even if he knew that Yun Fenghuang would not help her purely, he would most likely use her, but Gu Zhen didn't care: "As long as the concubine helps the palace find out the real murderer, what if she uses it?" Who doesn't know about the former harem? Concubine Min does not have the name of the queen, but in these six palaces, what she can do, this palace may not be able to do! ”

With a sigh, she cautiously told her confidants, "You take someone to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, and say that the person who served the King of Chu said that when the King of Chu was entrusted to the care of the concubine before, he liked the food of the concubine very much. Now the king of Chu doesn't look very good, and he can't eat it. I want to ask the small kitchen of the concubine for some good restraint...... Take this opportunity to convey the meaning of the palace to the concubine and see what the concubine says? ”
