The rumors pointing to Qi Jiulu's death had already been brewing secretly, Chen Jing was ordered by Yun Feng Huang, and after adding oil and vinegar, because of Yun Feng Huang's old affairs with Qi Jiulu, it became more and more talked about by the public.

As a result, the discussion that was originally only circulating in secret spread all over the streets and alleys in an instant.

In this case, don't go to the emperor to complain, the imperial city envoy Sun Yu personally went to the emperor to ask for guilt: "The minister is a little negligent, and the emperor has such news, this is the minister's dereliction of duty, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"What has the concubine been doing recently?" When the emperor heard this, he frowned slightly, but he thought about it for a while, and made sure that Yun Fenghuang had been very well-behaved recently, and he didn't recruit anyone or provoke anyone, so he sank his face, raised his head and asked the courtiers, "Can you find out who did it?" ”

Sun Yu was sweating profusely and prostrate on the ground: "The minister is guilty, and when the minister investigated thoroughly, he found that similar rumors had already spread, but it didn't seem to have been widely involved earlier, nor did it involve the concubine Niangniang...... The perpetrator has not yet been found. ”

Chun Jia's face was expressionless: "Report the situation in the future within three days, otherwise it will ......"

Glancing at the trembling Imperial City envoy below, "Don't do your errand." ”

Sun Yu received the order and retreated, the emperor pondered for a moment and asked Yan Yin: "Are there any discrepancies between the people under the concubine in the past two days?" ”

"Chen Jing, the chief manager of Xuanqing Palace, has been in and out several times, all of which are going back and forth to the Xie family's mansions." Yan Yin said softly, "It seems that for the previous investigation by His Majesty, the princes of the Xie family had to get His Majesty's approval alone, and the concubine Niangniang was not in a good mood. It is rumored that Niangniang has made a lot of fire in the palace......"

Chun Jia Ri has a lot of opportunities, although he is very fond of Yun Fenghuang, and even looks at Xie a little differently, but with Xie's current lintel, he will not be paid attention to all the time.

Hearing this, he said: "The sons and daughters of the Xie family were originally the most outstanding horses. I personally took the school exam, and I didn't leak the questions beforehand, and the other children of the Xie family are not as good as the horses, isn't it a matter of course? Why is the concubine in a bad mood? Could it be that in the Xie clan, there are any other talents and beautiful jade? ”

"It is said that it is because the wife of the mother's half-brother went to the Huanhua Hall to complain." Yan Yin said, "Niangniang suspects that the colt deliberately did not instruct the brothers in their schoolwork, which caused them to behave poorly when they met. Before the horse left, the concubine Niangniang specially requested to summon the horse, also for this matter. Later, the horse explained clearly, and the mother gave up...... This matter has also passed, but not long ago, didn't His Majesty marry the county lord of Kunze and the cousin of the Jiang family? Xie made trouble again because of this, and felt that Niangniang's elbow turned out, which made Niangniang angry. ”

Chun Jia smiled dumbly when he heard this, and said, "This Xie ...... Earlier, I heard the concubine say, it seemed to be very harmonious and friendly, but now it's only been a few days, why is it a trouble? ”

He didn't think that the concubine was angry because she hid these things from him, mainly because Chunjia herself didn't want the Xie family to grow too strong.

It's not just the Xie family, in short, after the Ji family's power for three dynasties, the monarchs and ministers are now a little bit afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, and any relatives who have signs and possibilities of growth will be the target of their vigilance and suppression.

So I heard that the Xie family is now starting to fight, and even the concubine is so angry that she can't solve it, so the emperor laughed at it, "These people will change their ways to block the concubine, the concubine is not the kind of master who is obedient to her mother's family, if they are in a hurry, the concubine will not be soft...... A bunch of foolish things, and let them go. ”

As far as Yun Fenghuang's temperament is concerned, ordinary favored girls can't raise that arrogance, and she will endure her mother's family.

Chunjia took a sip of tea and said, "So, the concubine has been busy with her mother's family recently?" ”

Yan said: "I also went to Hansu Palace to visit Concubine Shuniang." ”

"Lady?" Chunjia didn't know about this yet, so she asked in surprise at the moment, "What's wrong with Concubine Shu?" ”

After learning what had happened, he groaned, feeling that his grandfather was still running around for thousands of miles when he was old, and Concubine Shu's eyes were uncomfortable, so she should go and take a look, so she ordered, "Tonight, I will drive the Taoli Palace." ”

Again, what else did Yun Fenghuang do?

Yan Yin thought about it carefully and said that everything else was trivial, and there was nothing special about it.

"......" Chunjia nodded, and he didn't know if the concubine knew about it, and whether she interfered?

But anyway, there is the Imperial City Division to deal with it, but there is no hurry, wait for two days, and see Yun Fenghuang's reaction.

This night he went to Hansu Palace to see the concubine, the concubine was quite happy to see the emperor coming, but because she was pregnant and inconvenient to serve, she chatted with the emperor for a long time, and finally pointed to a palace concubine in the palace to serve her.

The next day, the emperor went to the queen again and played with the king of Chu for a while, although the three princes leaned up and were ignored by him, Gu Zhen's mood was a lot more relaxed.

It's not that she doesn't know that the emperor suddenly remembered what the purpose of King Bacheng of Chu was, and she may not have felt sorry for this so-called sister-in-law all of a sudden, but she didn't expect to be sincere with Chunjia, anyway, the emperor was willing to perfunctory their mother and son, which was better than even disdainful of superficial work.

On the third day, Sun Yu went to the Taichu Palace to report that the rumors had been found out that the Xie family had first done it.

This answer greatly surprised the emperor, although I only heard two days ago that the children of the Xie family had begun to fight, but I didn't expect them to be so bold, so far they haven't even come out with a decent court official, so they are worried about daring to take the Northern Army and make a fuss about the name of the concubine?

However, Chunjia also dispelled his suspicions about Yun Fenghuan, in his opinion, the concubine has been changing her ways to pull her mother's family for the past two years, and it is impossible for them to do this death.

He even sympathized with the concubine a little in his heart, the former dynasty and the harem all recognized that Concubine Min was talented and beautiful, and the only thing that restricted her was that her background was not noble enough, otherwise, after the Ji family went, the rear would not think about it at all.

As a result, it seems that this Xie clan is just a group of people who are dragging their feet.

"Can it be confirmed that it was the children of the Xie family?" Chunjia thought about it again and again, and asked slowly, "Is it possible that someone else did it to take advantage of the Xie family's children to enter the eunuch for the first time, and they don't know anyone, and use them to coerce the concubine?" ”

Sun Yu pondered the meaning of the emperor's words, and hesitated: "Back to Your Majesty's words, according to the Imperial City Division's thorough investigation, this matter is the Xie family's disciples who want to replace Qi Jiulu in the Dingbei Army!" It's just that this result was obtained in a hurry, but the minister didn't dare to confirm that there was no real culprit behind the scenes. ”

He wasn't sure if the emperor wanted to clear up the Xie family and find another scapegoat, so he didn't say anything to death.

The actual meaning is that this matter has been investigated very clearly, that is, the children of the Xie family are jealous that Qi Jiulu is appreciated by Zhao Wubo, and it may also be because the concubine and Qi Jiulu were once unmarried couples, and they have some plans to kill people and destroy their mouths, in short, they want Qi Jiulu to die.

"Then why did you get involved with the concubine?" If that's the case, the rumor shouldn't mention the concubine.

Sun Yu said: "Later, the people who added oil and vinegar had nothing to do with the Xie family's children, and it may have been caused by other people's false rumors. ”

This is also very normal, after a rumor comes out, at first there are people behind the scenes, and after spreading to a certain extent, after a lot of oil and vinegar, in the end it may be unrecognizable, and even the initiator can't be recognized.

Moreover, the matter of Qi Jiulu and the concubine has been in trouble many times, and it has long been no secret, maybe it was a long-tongued person who casually added two sentences, and then it spread everywhere.

Chun Jia was silent for a moment, asked him to retire for the time being, and asked people to go to Xuanqing Palace to summon Yun Fenghuan over.

After a long while, looking at the brisk pace of the concubine who seemed to know nothing and entered the door with a smile, he was a little unbearable, waved back left and right, and said, "Ah Huang, have you paid attention to your family recently?" ”

"What's wrong with my family?" Yun Fenghuang thought that he was going to say that the Xie clan was attacked, so he hurriedly said, "Isn't it that they are not doing a good job?" If so, please don't worry about them, after all, who didn't come here like this when they were young? They are extremely loyal to the court, but they lack some experience, and I hope Your Majesty will not dislike them. ”

Originally, if the plan was as she expected, the emperor called her over after receiving the news that Yun Fenghuang and the Xie family had been attacked for no reason, then when she said this, the emperor would take special pity on her and tell her that it was not the Xie family who did something wrong, but someone deliberately planted and slandered Yunyun...... Yun Fenglian cried again and complained about his grievances, provoking the emperor's roar, which had nothing to do with her, and made the real murderer behind the scenes have no good life.

But now.

The emperor's face became more and more unbearable, and he stopped talking, and after a while, he sighed and showed her the excerpt that Sun Yu had written when he came to pay his respect: "See for yourself." ”

Yun Fenghuan took the fold with a trace of doubt and apprehension in a very detailed way, and almost fainted!!

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't dare to question the Imperial City Division, but why are the concubines' family so stupid?" Her hand holding the fold was trembling, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and asked the emperor, "Besides, the lintel of the Xie family is cold, even if the twenty-first brother is still in the ascendant, the rest of the people are just relying on the eldest princess's mansion and barely gaining a foothold in the emperor's capital." But where did he get such the ability to do such a thing? ”

This is not to give the Xie family a strong argument, but it is really impossible to figure it out.

She thinks she knows how much ability the Xie family has, if those rumors really came from the hands of the Xie family's disciples, why can't Chen Jing find out?

Now the biggest cards of this blood relatives are nothing more than her and Xie Wuzheng, maybe Xie Wuzheng is more convenient to act outside as a colt, but in terms of power and status, Yun Fenghuang is better.

Why can Xie Shi make small movements to hide from her ears and eyes???

…… Or is Chen Jing just a face-saving product, in fact, a waste???

"There's got to be someone here who is fueling the fire." The emperor only said that she couldn't accept such a stupid teammate, and her tone became more and more gentle, "But the matter is indeed the beginning of the Xie family...... Ah Huang, don't be angry, such relatives, it's good to recognize their true colors as soon as possible. ”

He took advantage of the situation to say what he thought, "You have me to protect you, why do you care whether many brothers and nephews are virtuous or stupid?" ”

It's just that it's okay if he doesn't say that, he said so, Yun Fenghuang suspected him: Could it be that the Imperial City Division didn't find the real culprit, or the culprit is more tricky, such as the Empress Dowager of the Mother, so the emperor instructed his subordinates to use the children of the Xie family as scapegoats, so as to dispel the idea of supporting his mother's family?

"......" Yun Fenghuan's heart was spinning, thinking that at this time, after all, the children of the Xie family were pinched and it was not appropriate to mess with the emperor, so he showed a sad look and said, "The ancients said that Zhilan Yushu was willing to be born in the court. I'm not exempt from vulgarity! Besides, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and I can't share your Majesty's worries, and it's not good to meddle in the affairs of other people's affairs, so I naturally want to urge my brothers and nephews to study hard, thinking that Your Majesty is driving. But who knew that they were so confused, they had only been in the imperial capital for a few days, and they were confused, and such things were done! ”

The emperor comforted her a few words, and asked her what she planned to do: "These are your family members, and I can't bear to be harsh, but this kind of thing, but if you don't give a lesson at the beginning, I'm afraid that there will be latecomers, who rely on their blood relatives, making you more and more embarrassed." ”

If Yun Fenghuang didn't have doubts in her heart, it would be useless for anyone to persuade her now, if she dared to eat inside and outside like this, even if she was a blood relative, she would definitely not be soft!

But now I am in doubt, I am not sure whether these brothers and nephews have been wronged, and I can't help but wonder if they are really dealt with severely, is it equivalent to cutting their own wings?

He made a unbearable look and said sadly: "That's so, but they are all blood relatives who grew up with me. When I was at home, my elders were very pampered and indulgent, and if I criticize my children now, how will I explain them to them in the future? Please also ask Your Majesty to read it for their first offense, and let it be light! ”

This decision made the emperor a little surprised, he felt that he still knew the temperament of the concubine very well, although he attached importance to the blood family, but maybe because he was favored and used to being self-centered, the concubine considered her own joys, sorrows and sorrows, rather than the interests of the whole family.

Otherwise, she can't give birth herself, can she not follow Gu Zhen and get two Xie daughters to come in and have an heir?

So after the truth of this matter was revealed, in the emperor's opinion, the concubine would not give up, even if she didn't knock her brothers and nephews into the dust, she would definitely not be spared.

But now that I hear it, I can't think of it?

Is my concubine so kind-hearted?

Chunjia was a little dazed, and after confirming with Yun Fenghuan repeatedly, he regretted it a little, he shouldn't have asked the concubine what he meant, he should have comforted people and coaxed people away, and he would make a decision by himself.

But now it's too late to be annoyed, and the concubine looked at him with tears in her eyes, and softly begged him to raise his noble hand...... Although Chunjia was reluctant in her heart, she was reluctant to endure the humiliation and burden of sadness, and finally hesitated for a long time, but nodded and only said: "But this is only the first time, and there will be a next time, even if Ah Huang you help them intercede, I won't allow it." ”

Yun Fenghuang sobbed and thanked him, and said that he did not dare to disturb the emperor's handling of government affairs, and returned to the harem.

The emperor only said that she was in a complicated mood now, so she didn't stay, and said a few words of relief, promising to go to the Huanhua Hall in the evening.

Then Yun Fenghuang returned to the Huanhua Hall and called Chen Jing to him and asked: "The rumors before, His Majesty personally said that it was done by the children of the Xie family, what the hell are you doing, even the bastards of the mother's family in this palace who have only been in the imperial capital for a few days can blind you?!" ”

Chen Jing was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the slave and maid really put all their efforts into checking at that time, but they just checked and checked, and it really has nothing to do with the Xie family!" Otherwise, how dare the slave hide it? ”

Yun Fenghuang grimaced and said, "It's too late to say this now, why don't you go to the Xie clan and ask them what's going on?!" ”

Chen Jing hurriedly responded, but heard the master say again, "Let Chen Zhu go with him." ”

“…… Be! He listened to his heart and sank, he had seized the opportunity of Chen Zhu to make a big mistake at the beginning, and now Yun Fenghuang specifically said so, it can be seen that if this matter is not done well, maybe it will be Chen Zhu's second, and he will also be disliked.

Commanded Chen Zhu and Chen Jing, Yun Fenghuang's face was still gloomy, what Chun Jia said just now may have other plans, but one thing is true, that is, everything has begun, if you don't give a full lesson, you can't say that there will be a second and third time!

The problem is that as a palace concubine, she lives in the palace and cannot grasp the movements of her brothers and nephews in time.

Often when I receive the news, everyone has done almost everything they should do.

In the long run, let alone grow up to be a bargaining chip for her, it would be good if she didn't drag her into an adulterous concubine that everyone shouted at!

How do you do this?
