"Concubine Yuan Xian?!" Gu Zhen and his left and right henchmen said in unison, "How can it be Concubine Yuan Xian?!" ”

The palace maid in charge of running errands said according to Yun Fenghuang's explanation: "The concubine said that only Concubine Yuan Xian is the most suspicious!" ”

"But how is that possible?" A close attendant frowned and said to Gu Zhen, "Niangniang, not to mention whether Yuan Yuniang has this ability, just say that as the noble concubine Niangniang said, from the perspective of who can benefit the most, what is the benefit of the virtuous concubine harming our Royal Highness the King of Chu?" ”

This was also Gu Zhen's doubt, but she couldn't help but ask, only asked: "Why can Concubine Yuan Xian be the most suspicious?" ”

"The concubine said, because first, although Concubine Yuan Xian herself can't do it, there is a loving mother queen mother standing behind her, with the means of the mother queen mother, if you want to murder His Royal Highness the King of Chu, presumably we here, may not be able to detect it. Moreover, even if His Majesty finds out, it will ......" The palace maid hesitated and didn't dare to continue, but Gu Zhen's face sank, and he and the left and right were a little convinced: Before, when Chunjia asked the Imperial City Division to find out the traces and not make a noise, Gu Zhen suspected that he knew something but wanted to cover it up.

Even if you don't know anything, at least you know the real murderer.

In short, I just want to cover up.

At that time, she was more suspicious of Yun Fenghuan.

Because Chunjia is the most partial among the concubines, it is this Min Guifei.

But at this moment, I was suddenly reminded, and I realized that it was not only the concubines who were unprincipled and favored by Chunjia in the harem.

There is also a loving mother and queen mother who is not Chunjia's mother, but she is better than her mother!

The palace maid paused, and waited for Gu Zhen to breathe a sigh of relief before continuing: "Second, Concubine Yuan Xian is pregnant now, and counting the days, she may already know whether the heir in her womb is male or female!" ”

After all, Gu Zhen couldn't do the city government, but he hadn't reacted when he got here, and said in confusion: "But even if she can win a man in one fell swoop, she is only the seventh prince!" No matter how much Your Majesty respects the Queen Mother, can you still let the Seventh Prince pass the Great Prince to inherit the throne?! ”

"Mother." The palace maid showed a look of unbearability and said, "The noble concubine said that the Empress Dowager of Mother Mother must not be able to let the seven princes under Concubine Yuan Xian's knees cross the princes in front of her and enter the East Palace." Even the Empress Dowager didn't dare to mention it, otherwise the ministers of the previous dynasty would not agree, but would be tired of Xingningbo Mansion because of it! However, what if, because His Royal Highness the King of Chu had a mistake, the Seventh Prince was passed on to Niangniang and became his son-in-law? In that case, wouldn't it be a matter of course for the Seventh Prince to enter the East Palace? Not only will the ministers not object, but they will even support it! ”

The hall of "......" was silent for a while.

Gu Zhen only felt that the blue tendons on her forehead were exposed, and she jumped suddenly, she gritted her teeth, and said: "But the biological mother of the Seventh Prince is one of the four concubines, according to the rules of the palace, he ...... He...... He should be raised by his biological mother, Concubine Yuan Xian, herself! ”

"The concubine said that the fifth prince was born by the palace concubine of Yijia Palace, and according to the rules, he should be raised by Concubine De. But didn't I hug you anyway? So this kind of thing, as long as the prince's mother agrees and you agree, then there is no problem. And ......" The palace maid hesitated and whispered, "The concubine also said that the Empress Dowager arranged for a total of three Yuan daughters to enter the palace to serve His Majesty, among which Yuan Guiren is a concubine, not to mention, the position in the palace is neither high, nor favored, a few days ago, didn't it mean that it was gone?" It can be seen that the mother and queen mother do not attach much importance to the niece other than Concubine An. ”

"After all, Concubine An was brought up by the Empress Dowager with her mother, and her intentions are no less than the effort spent raising Your Majesty, so she naturally has a deep affection."

"But Yuan Guiren and Concubine Yuan Xian, although they are also the nieces and nephews of the Empress Dowager of the Mother of Love, they do not get along with the Queen Mother of the Mother of Love, so the Queen Mother of the Mother is far less loving to them than she is to Concubine An."

"If His Royal Highness King Chu is not good, Niangniang will definitely have to raise the prince again, and he is a famous prince."

"So as long as Concubine Yuan Xian follows in the footsteps of the Liang family and the Chen family, when the time comes, the seventh prince will no longer have a mother to raise him, and the empress dowager will arrange him to you, wouldn't it be in line with the palace rule that the heir mother must be higher than the biological mother?"

"In this way, the Yuan family just sacrificed a daughter, and they can help their grandson get the position of the East Palace without much effort."

"When the Seventh Prince grows up and is related by blood, can he still treat Xingningbo Mansion badly?"

"Even if Niangniang knows the joints here, she can't refuse not to say it, and she still owes a favor to the Queen Mother and Xingningbo Mansion on the scene!"

The more the palace maid spoke, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but say, "Niangniang, the maid thinks that what the concubine Niangniang said is very right!" Because there have been no outstanding talents in Xingning Bofu in the past two years, even if they have the face of the Empress Dowager, the children of the Yuan family are just idle positions. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager would not have repeatedly arranged for her niece to enter the palace! Before our summer vacation this time, in order to fight for the position of virtuous concubine, the Empress Dowager once had a lot of trouble with the noble concubine! It can be seen that the Empress Dowager is worried about the Yuan family in her heart, so how can she not target our Royal Highness the King of Chu? ”

"What are the facts, the mother has her own judgment, you shut up!" The waiter standing beside Gu Zhen frowned slightly, and scolded in a low voice, "Have you forgotten who the concubine is?" Her words may not all be true. Besides, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the concubine has always been not very good. Before leaving, the two sides pinched again, but did you know that it was not the noble concubine who still had a grudge against the Empress Dowager, so she borrowed a knife to kill people? ”

The palace maid said: "The concubine refused to say this speculation at first, saying that she was afraid of being misunderstood by our side. And the speculation of the concubine is reasonable, except for the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yuan Xian, who has this ability, and who can profit from it? ”

"......" The waiter glared at her fiercely, turned to Gu Zhen, and persuaded, "Niangniang, this matter is too big to listen to the one-sided words of the concubine." Besides, even if the concubine's speculation is correct, what is the identity of the Empress Dowager? The concubine is favored by His Majesty like that, and she doesn't dare to make a mistake, let alone us? Fortunately, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already receded a little, and he may be fine next. We've got to think long-term! ”

Gu Zhen's face was pale, and he was silent for a while before he said: "What you said makes sense, there is nothing wrong with the concubine's speculation, and the concubine will not purely help the palace...... This palace also knows that if it is really the Queen Mother, this palace is not capable of seeking justice for the King of Chu! In this way, let's take care of King Chu for the time being. As for the truth...... If it is really the Empress Dowager, Concubine Xian, there will definitely be some movement in a few months. ”

As she spoke, her nails pinched into her palms, "When the time comes, if the concubine teases us, this palace will never stop with the concubine!" If it is the Queen Mother...... Hongu ...... Although this palace is not as good as the concubine to win the favor of His Majesty, in this palace, it is not powerless to fight back!! ”

The master and servant of Woxia Mansion gritted their teeth, and when they were holding back for the time being, Yun Fenghuang was thinking about how to complete this game: "It's a pity that Yuan Qian Niang was disposed of by the Empress Dowager of Love, otherwise, let her go to give advice to Concubine Xian, but she is a ready-made candidate." ”

After all, sisters of the same clan watch and help each other, and it is natural that they will both prosper and lose, right?

"But Niangniang, we haven't heard that Concubine Yuan Xian's birth is a male heir?" Chen Jing couldn't help but remind on the side, "If Concubine Xian was born a royal daughter, then ......?" ”

"That's the doctor's mistake." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "This kind of thing is not guaranteed every time, and there are possible omissions, isn't it?" Moreover, there is also a possibility that Concubine Xian hated Concubine An, and in order to win the attention of the family and the Empress Dowager with Concubine An, she took the initiative to lie and say that it was a male fetus. ”

The corners of Chen Jing's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "This kind of lie...... At most, she will be deceived for ten months, and she will ...... As for it? ”

"How not?" Yun Fenghuang was surprised, "How did you forget how she came to be a virtuous concubine?" It was the Empress Dowager who made great efforts to win it for her! As we all know, the Empress Dowager has always favored Concubine An, and she treats Concubine Xian to the lost Yuan Guiren, that's it! You said that when the Sixth Palace was promoted before, the Empress Dowager only won a concubine position for Concubine An, but she won the position of a virtuous concubine, why? Just because Concubine Xian is pregnant? Then Concubine An was also pregnant before, why didn't the Queen Mother put her beloved Concubine An on the position of the fourth concubine? ”

"And with the importance that the Empress Dowager attaches to Concubine An and Concubine Xian, do you think that if Concubine Xian is not pregnant with a male fetus, but also a healthy male fetus, the Empress Dowager will let Concubine Xian go past Concubine An?"

"How can you say that Concubine An is also a person raised by the Empress Dowager as a daughter, she fell out of favor with Your Majesty, and she was pressed by these people in the palace to pay it back, can the Empress Dowager Mother bear to see her still salute her sister of the same mother?"

"This ......" Chen Jing opened his mouth, suddenly a little suspicious, his master should not have said it by mistake, right?

Sounds so reasonable......

If he were a virtuous concubine, he would do the same, anyway, he would cheat the position of virtuous concubine first!

Even if she was born a royal daughter after the melon ripened and was caught lying, what does it matter?

Even if the Empress Dowager doesn't like Concubine Xian very much, she is her niece at best, and she has given birth to an heir.

When the time comes, I will go to the Spring Palace to ask for sin.

Can the Empress Dowager still beat her to death, make the position of Concubine Xian vacant, and cheapen others?

"So let's just arrange it according to the fact that Concubine Xian will give birth to a male fetus." Yun Fenghuang concluded, "If she gives birth to a daughter, it will be nothing more than a different way to deal with the aftermath." Anyway, the palace just told the queen's maid, it's just speculation, there is no evidence, whether you believe it or not depends on the queen herself. ”

In short, she doesn't take the blame.

From now on, the queen has been in trouble with the Empress Dowager Yuan, or the queen has been instigated, it doesn't matter to her!

"The slave has an idea." Chen Jing thought for a while and said, "The matter is big, why do you have to remind the Yuan family through the Yuan family?" The slave and maid secretly thought that the most concerned about the future of Xingningbo Mansion was not the virtuous concubine An Concubine in the palace or the Empress Dowager of the Mother, but the descendants of the Yuan family! After all, the slave maid said something unpleasant, as far as our Majesty's temperament, the Empress Dowager of Loving Mother will enjoy the honor of the second half of her life is certain, that is, Concubine Anna, as long as you don't do that rebellious thing, for the sake of the face of the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty will not treat them badly! These three are guaranteed by themselves, and no matter how much they consider Xingningbo Mansion, they are also watching the fire from the other side. However, up and down the Xingningbo Mansion, except for the title, there is no serious real power in hand. ”

"That's what I personally feel about the bright future!"

"If someone shows them a clear way, will they do it?"

He smiled, "As long as they do this, even if they are rejected by the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager's family is not vegetarian, can they find out?" When the time comes......"

That's ironclad evidence.

No matter how much he denied it, Gu Zhen also determined that the Yuan family was the real murderer!

Although this queen is not favored, and the wrist city is not very good, she is the queen after all, and she is the daughter of Zhao Wubo after all.

On the way to deal with Empress Dowager Yuan, it is one who can pull a helper, isn't it?

Yun Fenghuang looked at Chen Jing appreciatively: "I'll leave this matter to you!" ”

That's a real talent!

…… Two days later, in the evening, there was two good and bad news from Woxia Tower: the good news was that the king of Chu had finally subsided his fever; The bad news is that although the king of Chu has subsided from the fever, it is because the burning time is too long, so that the whole person is a little wooden, and it seems to be a little ...... Burned out your brain?

This is terrible, if it is an ordinary prince, everyone will regret it.

Anyway, there is a third prince under the queen's knees, isn't it?

But this is the only concubine on the jade plate!

The future East Palace of the Built-in Future!

To put it mildly, even if the king of Chu has a broken leg and a missing finger, he still has a little bit of help, after all, these defects will not necessarily affect the governance of the country. As long as the King of Chu is talented and intelligent, and he will show enough excellence in the future, the identity of the son-in-law will still suppress all the bullets.

It's just that he can't have a bad brain, Chun Jia has endured for eight years before he is in power, how can he hand over the easy-to-get country to a foolish son to lose?

Even the courtiers would certainly oppose it.

This result is for the queen, in a political sense, it is actually similar to the death of the king of Chu.

I don't know if it's because the sting-agitation is too big, or if it's too much wear and tear to take care of the king of Chu for days, Gu Zhen fell ill that day, and it is said that he is still very sick.

In this way, of course, the concubines have to visit and even serve the sick.

Gu Zhen asked the female officials around him to come out and sent most of the people away, leaving only the noble concubine Shufei Defei among the four concubines to go in to speak.

The female official looked at Concubine Yuan Xian, who was not angry, and said politely: "Concubine Xian, it's not that the queen doesn't see you on purpose, but because you are pregnant now, and you are afraid that you will be sick and not good for the emperor's heir." It's the concubines and the concubines, after entering, they only talk through the screen, and when they go back later, they have to take a decoction to bathe and change their clothes, and then they will go to see the emperor's heirs. ”

He whispered again, "The queen mother has been very sad about His Royal Highness the King of Chu for the past two days, that's it, I just heard that the concubines are here, and I also ordered in a dumb voice, arrange a warm drink for you and Concubine Shao, don't give herbal tea." ”

"I see, that's the palace misunderstanding the queen." Yuan Yuniang was indeed very unhappy, but she was relieved by such an explanation, because of her beauty, although she was a concubine, she was raised as a concubine, and she was also a little arrogant at home.

Even if she has the support of her aunt Empress Dowager Yuan, in the eyes of Empress Dowager Yuan, she and Yuan Qianniang, nieces who are not raised by the Empress Dowager herself, seem to be never as good as Yuan Neem.

Pregnant with the emperor's heir is the most proud thing for her.

Even Empress Dowager Yuan, who has always favored Yuan Neem, made an exception to tear up the fight in person, and won her the title of virtuous concubine.

Therefore, Yuan Yuniang likes to receive special treatment because she is pregnant.

At this time, seeing that the queen really attached extra importance to herself, she subconsciously smiled slightly, reached out and touched her lower abdomen, which was not very visible because of the loose dress, and said softly, "The queen has always been gentle and virtuous, and this palace heard that she was sick, and she was really worried about ......."

She said something about Empress Gu and King Chu, and asked the female official to help inform the queen, and Shi Shiran left.

Yuan Yiniang didn't expect that such a simple cutscene would be understood in the eyes of Gu Zhen's close attendants: "What an emperor's favor the concubine is, when the queen asked in the past, she also took it for granted, and the virtuous concubine was good!" What is called 'this palace misunderstands the queen's mother', why is the mother sick, who she wants to see and who she doesn't want to see, and she can't give her an explanation?! ”

"Besides, sister, did you just notice? When she talked to us, she touched her stomach! What does this mean? Can't wait for the mother to be expensive?! ”

And the words were either mentioning that Niangniang was sick, or mentioning His Royal Highness the King of Chu...... How to look at it, how to hide evil intentions, ill intentions! ”
