A year ago, when there were no people in the harem, no one in this palace knew about Yun Fenghuan, but no one knew about Xue Xiaoge.

Ji Zhaoyuan's cousin, father and brother are both high-level members of the Ji Party, and they are both talented and good-looking.

Not to mention that the Xue family arranged for her to enter the palace, and the two concubines of the Ji family have not been able to give birth to the imperial heir, looking forward to her giving birth to an heir with the brand of the Ji Party, and her plans are ambitious?

But the world is unpredictable, just like this, the queen of the Ji family has been sick for many days, and Zhaoyuan was once demoted to Yuwan, and she was only recently promoted to Jieyu, which is still in the name of praying for the blessing and filial piety of the two queen mothers.

If it weren't for Yun Fenghuang mentioning it at this moment, Chun Jia would have forgotten that there was such a Xue Jieyu in the palace.

The Communist Party of China has not been fortunate to visit the temple and the daughter of the other family a few times, of course he has nothing to worry about.

So the matter was decided - it's just that after a while, the two emperors and concubines were about to set up the Xuanqing Palace, but someone from the palace rushed over to report urgently: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian, Xue Jieyu is not good!" ”

The emperor's heart sank, and she scolded her loudly, why is it a bad law?

I heard the palace people say: "Just now, the people in front of Xue Jieyu went to Yanfu Palace and Xuanqing Palace to report the news, saying that their master has been closed since this morning and is not allowed to disturb." I thought Jieyu was just in a bad mood, or she wanted to stay alone for a while. But just now a raccoon cat ran in through the back window and knocked over things, and the people below were worried that the wild nature of the beast was not tamed and Jieyu was injured, so they dared to knock on the door to ask for peace, but they didn't hear Jieyu's voice......"

Then it was logical, they dared to open the door again, and saw that Xue Jieyu was already hanging on the beam, next to a kicked stool and a suicide note pressed with a paperweight.

Chunjia's face was not divided between joy and anger, and he asked in a deep voice: "What is written in the suicide note?" ”

"I don't know." The palace man said cautiously, "The person sent by the queen mother did not explain, but only asked His Majesty to come over as soon as possible." ”

Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty, the concubine will accompany you?" ”

Of course they have to go, so they decided to pull Xue Xiaoge to end the matter, Xue Xiaoge is gone, how can they ignore it?

The two arrived at the scene together, and at this time, Xue Xiaoge had already put it down under the command of Queen Ji, who arrived first, but the dormitory was still in a mess, the tables and chairs overturned, and a few hairpin rings fell off the side of the dressing table.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty!" Seeing the arrival of the holy car, Empress Ji took the lead to meet her, knelt on the ground, and said with tears in her eyes, "It was the negligence of the concubine that made the Xue family do such a thing!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of colored notes from his sleeve, raised it above his head, and offered it to Chunjia.

Chunjia glanced at it, and without speaking, Yun Fenglian stretched out his hand to take it, swept it roughly, and said to him: "Your Majesty, this seems to be Xue Jieyu's dying words." ”

Xue Xiaoge's dying words were very long, and she wrote five or six hairpins densely, describing in great detail that after she entered the palace last year, she thought that with her family background and beauty and talent, she would be able to win favor in one fell swoop and become Chunjia's favorite.

As a result, a cloud wind fence was killed in the horizontal stab, and he snatched the attention of the top and bottom from the first day he entered the palace

force, since then, Wei Hengyan, who has the highest position in the palace during the same period, has rarely been lucky, let alone Xue Xiaoge.

She was unwilling to annihilate the concubines, but she tried to compete for favor several times, but she didn't get anything, and the most annoying thing was not Yun Fenghuan's ridicule of her, but Yun Fenghuan didn't pay attention to her at all.

This made the resentment in Xue Xiaoge's heart increase day by day, and even moved his anger to Concubine Zhenxi Shufei - because everyone knew that Yun Fenghuang was not qualified to be listed in the ceremony and appointment of Yizhi, but it was Concubine Zhenxi Shufei who strongly recommended it to the Empress Dowager, so that there was such a creation.

Xue Xiaoge always kept the empty room alone, and his resentment towards Concubine Shu and Yun Fenglian increased by one point.

And last year, the Son of Heaven was assassinated and fell off a cliff on the way to Qishan Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and his life and death were unpredictable, which completely stimulated Xue Xiaoge - she is still so young, she has only been in the palace for a few months, is she going to start being a widow?!

The most terrifying thing is that she is just a small palace concubine, and she is not as good as being promoted.

In other words, once Chunjia can't go back and Xinjun ascends the throne, she can only be a concubine instead of a concubine.

The boundaries between the concubines and concubines of the national dynasty are clear, and the treatment of concubines and concubines is also very different.

Xue Xiaoge was born in a family of eunuchs, and he had heard about the treatment of childless concubines when they were old, so he shuddered. In her fear, she resented Concubine Shu and Yun Fenghuan more and more, because in her opinion, if Concubine Shu hadn't made such a dark horse as Yun Fenghuan enter the palace, she should be the newcomer who was most loved by Chunjia!

After all, although Wei Hengyan had the highest position at the beginning of the seal, he had no helpers in the palace; Yun Qingman's sister-in-law is good to her, but Yun Qingman is sexual. Zimian is soft, and he can't stand up, if there is no cloud and wind, who can compete with Xue Meiren, who is the best choice of her talented and beautiful family, and her cousin who is full of help?

In this way, in extreme anger and fear, she had murderous intentions towards Concubine Shu!

Uh, you said that Concubine Shu was not dead when the emperor returned with Yun Fenghuang, and after the emperor came back, Xue Xiaoge didn't need to think about going to the palace as a concubine to wait for death, so there was no need to murder the high-ranking concubine?

Xue Xiaoge's explanation in the suicide note is that despite this, Yun Fenghuang's status has not decreased but increased, making her feel that if the Yun family girl is not removed, she will never have a bright future!

No, taking advantage of Concubine Shu's efforts to be placed under house arrest because of the concubine's miscarriage, Yun Qingman, who was still under Yun Fenghuan's hands at the time, sent someone to visit, she bribed the palace people to kill Concubine Shu, and tried to blame Yun Qingman Yunfeng Huang to provoke the Yun sisters to fight - although it seems that she did not succeed in provoking, however, she was not exposed, so the wife has lived peacefully to this day.

But who knew that this matter did not spread in the palace, but the news leaked outside the palace?

Hearing that there was another reason for the death of Concubine Daoming Shu in public of the Chao family, Xue Xiaoge felt that it was impossible to escape this time, and in order to avoid being tortured after being imprisoned, he had no way to face the gap between his falling from the high concubine, and would rather break himself.

The suicide note ended with all kinds of apologies, sorry for the Empress Dowager, the three Empress Dowagers, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, sorry for her cousin Ji Duzi, sorry for her mother's family, sorry for the ...... Well, I'm also sorry for Concubine Zhenxi and Yunfeng Huangyun Qingman, and of course, Yiguo Gong

。

If there is an afterlife, she must be a good person and not make mistakes, and she will never be poisoned because of the favor of others.

Yun Fenghuan read it for the Son of Heaven with emotion, chuckled, and twisted the ink on his fingertips: "These dying words are written in a hurry, and the ink marks have not dried!" ”

I'm afraid you didn't start writing it when you came back from the Taichu Palace just now, right?

"After all, the Xue family also heard that the Chao family had revealed the death of Concubine Shu in the temple, so they were terrified." Empress Ji said very calmly, "If the ink marks are long, it will be suspicious." ”

Anyway, the real culprit of Concubine Shu's death is there, and he has also been judged, so you suspect that there is no evidence, right?

"But Chao said that Concubine Shu's death was from the hands of Ji." Yun Fenghuan put the suicide note on the table, looked at the queen, and said with a smile, "Although Xue Jieyu has a close relationship with the Ji family, is she not surnamed Ji?" Moreover, in the matter of the temple, the concubine also happened to have something to do to go to the court to find His Majesty, only to hear a few words, what is Xue Jieyu, who lives in the palace, can she actually know everything about the court? ”

Empress Ji didn't look at her, and only said to Chunjia: "This is exactly why the concubine wants to ask His Majesty for guilt: Xue is Kang Jieyu's cousin, and she lives in Surong Palace when she enters the palace, so after Kang Jieyu was demoted, she was disheartened, and the palace affairs depend on Xue's help. And some palace guards in the previous dynasty were arranged to go in through my Ji family. ”

"As we all know, Kang Jieyu treats the Xue family very kindly, like a sister."

"So when the Xue clan sent everyone with Kang Jieyu's order, no one doubted it!"

"The concubine is the queen, but she is not vigilant, and she sits back and watches her in-laws do such a wrong thing, and please punish Your Majesty!"

Chunjia was silent.

He had just told Yun Fenghuang that this time it would make Xue Xiaoge go up.

Now the Ji family is the first to strike, which seems to cater to his thoughts, but in fact, it is not like that at all - first of all, if Xue Xiaoge is the real murderer of Concubine Shu, it is "investigated" by the emperor, and the initiative must also be on the side of the Son of Heaven.

But if the Ji clan took the initiative to hand over the "culprit", there would not be much room for Chunjia to be the master now.

Secondly, the Ji family was dormant for years because of the filial piety of the Duchess of Yeguo, and there was a royal tomb incident in the previous dynasty, and the Chao family beat the drum in the harem, just to make the emperor take care of one and lose the other, and he was overwhelmed.

And Chunjia's plan is similar, the Wang Ling incident used to comfort Xiaozong and delay the army; Chao's grievances directly reversed him and turned against him.

The assassination of Qi Jiulu, the captain of the Dingbei Military Academy, and the coercion of the Chao family and the coercion of the Qi family to falsely accuse the innocent, this is the reason for Chun Jia's liquidation of the Ji family in the temple; And the death of Concubine Shu will be another round of purge and weakening of the Ji family in the harem.

These two pieces go hand in hand, which is enough to drag the Ji family from having time to take care of anything else.

But the Ji family is now directly giving up the car to protect the handsome, dumping Xue Xiaoge's family and coming out of the top cylinder, and if he gets rid of his hands and feet from the harem battle, he can concentrate on dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty.

And it's not all, because of Xue Xiao

Ge pleaded guilty to death, from the Empress Dowager to Kang Jieyu, and did not need to bear the charge of murdering Concubine Shu, so ...... They can also contribute to the front of the dynasty.

In addition, there is a secret point: Chunjia once told Yun Fenghuan that there were many people who made a decision in the death of Concubine Shu, not to mention the rest, Cui Wan's daughter Cui Lianye was not innocent.

But Xue Xiaoge's suicide note didn't mention a word, and he took it all by himself.

Is this Ji's kindness?

Impossible.

It's just that he keeps Cui's handle for later use.

"The queen's corpse is a vegetarian meal, indulging her relatives, causing the Xue family to murder a high position, the crime is extremely heinous, and the fault is extremely deep!" After a long time, Chunjia finally spoke, he didn't look at Queen Ji who was kneeling on the ground with a respectful posture, but only looked at the empty courtyard outside, and his tone was flat, "Zi Nian is the original match of my knot, and I can't bear to be harsh...... Grounded for three years, praying for the concubine to comfort the old minister. ”

"During the lockdown period, the palace affairs were handed over to Concubine Xian, the sister of Concubine Shu, and Concubine Xuan, Concubine Rui."

Luo Hanyi and Ouyang Fu's positions were promoted back yesterday, and the nine concubines jumped to the concubine position, even if they returned to their original positions, it was a great joy and worth celebrating.

But now, no one takes it seriously.

Even they themselves really don't think there's anything to do with this.

"Your Majesty." Empress Ji was extremely well-behaved, without any opposition, kowtowing to receive orders, but at this moment, Yun Fenghuang suddenly opened her mouth and proposed, "Although the queen has had, how can Kang Jieyu be innocent?" In the final analysis, it was Kang Jieyu's ignorance that made the Xue family have this opportunity! ”

"It's just that Kang Jieyu is praying for the blessings of the two queen mothers, and she is the biological mother of the two princes, so she can't punish her too much, lest the prince grow up in the future and look bad."

"How about the goddaughter who belittles his parents?"

Chunjia looked at her sideways, with a faint smile in her eyes: "Accurate!" ”
