Chapter 39: Brother and Sister

Yunqike and Yunsuke specially chose a secluded corner to talk, and for this reason, they sent the people who served far away.

Who knew that without a few words, the Xue Li at the entrance of the rockery cave next to it was separated, and a group of people from the Jinyi Palace came out surrounded by the picturesque Yunfeng Huang, and the two sides just took a good look.

"......" glanced at each other, and their eyes changed slightly.

The brothers were silent, and they both bowed down to greet the concubine.

"I haven't seen you for many days, but my cousin's appearance hasn't changed at all." Yun Fenghuang stood still, shouted lightly, his eyes wandered over the two brothers, and said leisurely, "I didn't expect to meet here." ”

The cousin she said was Yun Suke.

When she hadn't entered the palace yet, she followed Yun Qingman in and out of the Guogong Mansion, and met with most of the children of the Yun family.

Some of them don't think very highly of her because of her background, but because of Yun Qingman's attitude, she doesn't treat her lightly, but the relationship is relatively cold.

There are a few who either don't have much of a gateway view, or they are simply more tolerant of beauties, but they are quite polite to Yun Fenghuan, and they will always say a few words of greeting when they meet, but they are still harmonious.

This Yun Suke is the latter, he is a few years older than Yun Qike, he was married when Yun Fenghuang came to the imperial capital, and his wife is a concubine of the side branch of the Meng family, and the cousin of Concubine Wan.

Because of his excellent schoolwork, he was often taught and guided by the Wing Guogong, and he went in and out of the Guogong Mansion more often.

Therefore, he has met with Yun Fenghuan several times, and he has always been amiable...... Although this kind of amiability is somewhat pitiful and cherishing, Yun Suke is quite upright, and he did not do anything inappropriate as the favorite nephew of Yiguo Gong, at most, he privately said to a few brothers that his cousin Yun Qingman's playmate was very beautiful.

This kind of words are often not so good when they are passed on to Yun Fenghuang's ears, but Yun Fenghuang also knows that many of them are people in the Yun clan who are jealous of her and Yun Qingman's attention.

It was Yun Suke's turn to be the one who had not offended and murdered her.

She was able to greet Yun Suke politely at this moment, and also greeted the other party's wife and children in passing.

Yun Suke was a little flattered, before Yun Fenghuang entered the palace, because of Xie Fengqi's matter, in front of the opposite sex, he behaved extremely dignified and innocent, and when he was forced to look at his face, he was always the kind that did not squint and could not speak without speaking.

When he looked at the girl's beauty, he heard that her background was not high, but in fact, he didn't have a little charming...... In the family, this kind of thing is very common, the sisters are surrounded by beautiful girls from low backgrounds, often they flatter the purpose of the noble women, that is, to get the moon near the water, to the father, brother and nephew of the noble daughter, or to be lucky to fill the house.

But Yun Fenglian's attitude of avoiding them, coupled with the fact that he is inseparable from Yun Qingman, has no intention of coercing, and he is not the kind of person who focuses on women, so he is extremely gentle and polite when he stops at the face, and a few words of praise when discussing in private.

Now this Miss Xie who once needed to look up to them is already a high-ranking concubine Niangniang who is looked up to by them, but she is approachable, although Yun Suke is from a big family and has achieved academic success, even if she is the leader of the Yun family's generation, she is not exempt from vulgarity, and instantly felt that the concubine was exceptionally noble and amiable, and hurriedly arched her hand and said: "Lao Niangniang is worried, but Niangniang is more dignified and graceful than before, and the minister almost didn't recognize it." ”

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while as concubines and mothers' families, and Yun Qike was a little uneasy and uncomfortable, and interrupted with a light cough, saying that the main hall was interrogating Xiangrui's death, and asked Yun Fenghuan if he wanted to hurry up and see what was going on?

The implication is that you don't pull my brother to talk, you can leave quickly.

"I heard that the wife of the world is happy? And he must be a male heir? Yun Fenghuang glanced at him when he heard this, and said with a smile, "This palace hasn't congratulated the prince yet, and he is about to get a unicorn?" ”

Yun Qike listened, and became even more uneasy, not only felt that the concubine's words seemed to have malicious intentions towards the heirs in the Han family's womb, but also thought that the previous dynasty and the harem knew that the concubine had been harmed by the palace and yin and could not give birth, this was the woman he had wanted to marry when he was young and frivolous, but she never said that to him, and even deeply resented that his love brought her disaster, and this entanglement had a certain relationship with the death of Concubine Zhenxi...... The grievances between the two sides are now unclear.

He was in a trance for a while, and was silent for a while before he whispered, "Xie Guifei Niangniang." ”

This sentence was extremely dry, and even Yun Suke, who didn't know it, noticed the abnormality and looked at him in surprise.

Yun Fenghuang is kind and pleasant, like the two sides are pure brothers and sisters of the same race, and there is no estrangement, and asked them what they are doing here?

"Among the people who fed Bailu just now, there is a cousin of Xike." Yun Suke saw that Yun Qike was still a little stunned, so he didn't answer immediately, and he was suspicious, but this was not the time to ask, so he hurriedly answered, "Now that I have been summoned to the main hall for interrogation, we are very worried, so we are here to discuss countermeasures." ”

"Xike's cousin Bengong has also seen him, and he knows that he is the most honest person, how can it be unfavorable to Xiangrui?" Yun Fenghuan bowed his head slightly, and said, "Cousin, please rest assured, this palace is going to the main hall, and when the time comes, it will definitely be a good word for Xike's cousin, and he will not be wronged." ”

In fact, although the Yun brothers hid out to discuss countermeasures, they did not panic in their hearts.

After all, today's son has a lot of power, and their Yun clan has followed the Son of Heaven from the beginning.

Not to mention that Yunxi Ke was unlikely to murder Bailu in the palace forbidden, even if he was really so confused, for the sake of Yiguo Gong's face, Chunjia would probably not be held accountable.

What they are thinking about at this time is not whether Yunxike can prove his innocence, but who did it and what is the purpose?

But Yun Fenghuang said so, of course, he could only receive this favor, and he couldn't thank him.

Seeing the concubine being hugged and leaving, Yun Suke asked Yun Qike in a low voice: "What's the matter with you?" Although this person said that he was passed on to the Yun family, in fact, his mind was on the Xie family's side, when did he usually think of our family? But in the end, it is the concubine Niangniang, since she bumped into her, she said a few polite words, why are we so cold? When I turned around, I also asked my aunt to make it difficult for them to enter the palace to ask for peace. ”

"......" Yunqi Ke was silent for a while, and said, "yes." ”

Seeing that he didn't explain in detail, Yun Suke didn't ask, so he changed the topic and sighed: "A good laurel banquet went wrong again, it is said that the palace specially picked this small square pot for the previous summer banquet, but it still couldn't dodge...... I don't know what will happen next? ”

What's next?

At this moment, Chunjia is also thinking about this problem.

Or rather, what's next?

The goose on his side whispered: "The queen mother has just personally interrogated, the hook kiss only appeared in the honeysuckle bush two days ago, because its flowers are similar to honeysuckle, the palace people who are responsible for going to the island to inspect have not found anything wrong after many times, so they did not tell it." ”

"The queen mother is already out of the hairpin to be punished."

"The same is true for the concubines and concubines of the six palaces."

"This is a good omen, it has nothing to do with man, but it is providence." Chunjia said lightly, "What are the queens asking for?" ”

Yan Yin hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

He made a look, and some palace people went out to persuade the queen and others to leave.

“…… You say, does the concubine know about this? Empress Gu retreated with the second concubine and walked outside, and the queen suddenly asked in a low voice, "The palace sent someone to the Jiuying Pavilion to ask, and she said that it was no big deal." In that case, why didn't they come to the feast? ”

In the queen's opinion, Yun Fenghuang, as Chunjia's favorite concubine, was suddenly absent from today's banquet, which was already strange.

I was still thinking that the concubine had been smooth sailing since she entered the palace, maybe she wouldn't be lucky today?

But when the news of Bailu's sudden death came, she felt that either Yun Feng had a good life and happened to have escaped this turmoil, or Chunjia knew it and deliberately let the concubine avoid it.

"I don't know about the concubine." Just now, because Concubine Shu was pregnant, and because of her grandfather, although she greeted Yun Fenghuan, she had never done too much, so she didn't go to the Jiuying Pavilion in person, and she was stunned when she heard this, shook her head and said, "However, even if the concubine is here, at most she will follow us to ask for guilt, this doesn't seem to be anything?" After all, although the concubine saw that His Majesty was a little tired, she was not very angry. ”

"After all, this is a good omen, and of course Your Majesty will not be angry." Concubine De took over and said, "And over there in the Jiuying Pavilion, the concubine has been to see it in person, and Sister Guifei is indeed a little uncomfortable." The concubine thought that the concubine's sister couldn't come to the banquet today, it was purely a coincidence. After all, today's banquet, Sister Guifei is also worried, how can she sit back and watch knowing that there is trouble? ”

Gu Zhen thought about it, the concubine is a temperament who is only willing to take advantage and refuses to suffer, if she has nothing to do with this banquet, then she may laugh at someone to block the middle palace.

But this time the concubine is also one of the hosts, how can she let people slap her face?

The queen sighed and was about to speak, when she saw Yun Fenghuang walk in.

"Isn't it okay with the concubine's injuries?" The queen subconsciously looked at the hem of her skirt and asked, "The palace just said if you want to summon the imperial doctor to take a look at you." ”

"Lao Niangniang is worried, the concubine's body is only slightly twisted, it is not very serious, and it is already good after resting for so long." Yun Fenghuan exchanged a few polite words with them, and asked about Chunjia's whereabouts.

Knowing that the emperor was resting alone in the warm pavilion at the back, he asked the queen to go and see it.

The queen said: "Your Majesty has also worked hard these two days, so it's good for you to accompany you." But this palace sees that His Majesty is lacking now, and I am afraid that he may not like to be disturbed. ”

Yun Fenghuang said indifferently: "The concubine went to ask for peace, if Your Majesty wants to stay alone, the concubine will not dare to disturb Your Majesty." ”

So she went, but the queen returned to the banquet restlessly and continued to eat the feast...... After all, the death of the white deer is a good omen, and it is time to continue feasting and drinking to celebrate, right?

After waiting for a while, I didn't see Yun Fenghuang come back, and I knew that Chun Jia had asked her to go into the warm pavilion.

Although he knew that the emperor had always been different from the concubine, for the queen and the concubine, Concubine De, it was a little sour, and they subconsciously drank a few more cups.

And at this moment, in the warm pavilion, Chun Jia was pinching his forehead and talking to Yun Fenghuan about the ins and outs: "...... Ouyang Yanran reacted quickly and settled the matter, otherwise the summer banquet would have killed people, and the Gui Banquet would have died and spread out, and I don't know how people in the world would talk about it. ”

"This is the mandate of heaven in Your Majesty, so there are virtuous ministers on your side." Yun Fenghuang comforted, "It's just that a good hook kiss was transplanted into the honeysuckle bush, obviously someone deliberately murdered Bailu, but I don't know who is so vicious?" Speaking of which, this is also the fault of our few people, we shouldn't have just asked the people around us to come to the island to check, we should have come over in person. ”

Chunjia shook his head when he heard this: "These two things look similar, and they are very easy to confuse. is a junior apprentice in a pharmacy, and there are also occasional look-aways, not to mention the concubine and ordinary palace people? The Lord made people choose to hook and kiss fake honeysuckle, obviously because they were sure that the wrong person was not present, and they would ignore the past when they saw it. Otherwise, where can you hide from all the preparations before the feast? ”

His expression was a little gloomy, not the kind of vigilance and suspicion that he didn't know the culprit, but a kind of hesitation that was difficult to make up his mind.

Yun Fenghuang saw some clues, his mind turned, and he asked him tentatively, about who harmed Bailu, did the emperor have a number in his heart?

“…… Just now, Empress Yuan told me something. Chunjia was silent for a while, and sure enough, she said, "She suspects that it was Queen Qu's doing." ”

"Why did the Queen Mother do this?" Yun Fenghuang asked puzzledly, "Not to mention that the Queen Mother is the biological mother of Your Majesty, and doing things to Xiangrui, wouldn't it be a block for Your Majesty, just say that she did this, what is the benefit?" ”

Chunjia smiled bitterly and said briefly: "Didn't you say before that Kunze's marriage didn't have to be found for her, did she have an idea in her heart?" But it is a love affair with Yuan's son. Queen Qu's mother does not support this family business, and these days, there are serious differences with Queen Yuan's mother. This time, the white deer was placed on the small square pot where the laurel appreciation banquet was held, which was originally suggested by Queen Yuan's mother. Maybe it's because of this that Queen Qu is angry with Bailu? But it's not a blockage for me, after all, Queen Qu also knows, I don't believe or care about this. ”

The last sentence is just to cover the face of the Empress Dowager Qu, after all, Xiangrui is such a thing, and it is not a big problem for the emperor himself to believe it or not, the key is to believe it from the people below.

That's where it comes in.

People all over the world feel that the white tiger and then the white deer in the country are auspicious, which means that the reigning Son of Heaven is recognized and even loved by God.

That's a good thing.

But there are two sides to everything.

Once these auspicious Rui have a mistake, then it is necessary to suspect that the reigning Son of Heaven is not good, and Xiangrui warns.

Before, the White Tiger went wrong, and the emperor took the Ji clan to block the disaster.

Now the violent death of this white deer is not the emperor's plan at all, or it is expected.

It was also Ouyang Yanran who reacted quickly and barely rounded the scene.

Otherwise, Chunjia should have a headache at this time, how to explain to the people of the world that Bailu's death was not because he lacked blessings, lacked virtue, and was not liked by God......

“…… I remember that Kunze has always been raised under the knees of the Queen Mother, and rarely walks around the palace, how can he be happy with Yuan's son? Yun Fenghuang sneered in his heart, secretly wondering how could the Empress Dowager Qu be angry with Bailu because of such a little thing?

I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager Yuan wanted to use Bailu to make a fuss and knock Kun Ze's marriage to death, lest the Empress Dowager Qu use Kun Ze's identity as an adoptive mother to do things, even if she is married, she will also disrupt the marriage, which will anger the Empress Dowager Qu, so that she will arrange to poison Bailu?

can make the always low-key Empress Dowager Qu angry like this, and I don't know how excessive the previous arrangement of Empress Dowager Yuan was?

She pretended not to know anything and asked the emperor, "Isn't it a place where there are grievances and misunderstandings with the lord of Kunze, so the Queen Mother is out of shape?" ”
