Chapter 88

"Niangniang, you are complaining about the concubine now, it is nothing more than that you feel that the concubine has deceived you in the matter of the birth of the virtuous concubine." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "But think about it, now that the virtuous concubine is still outside the palace, how the facts have not yet been determined, but why rush to think that the concubine is unreliable?" ”

She said confidently, "Besides, even if the Xingning Bofu and the Empress Dowager of the Mother of Love do not force the son of the virtuous concubine to you, the eighth prince will not have the status of a concubine, and he will also be raised by his own mother, can it be that if he is allowed to be crowned king at this time, what good will it do to you and your future sister-in-law?" Today, the Queen Mother can ask Her Majesty for the Eight Princes to be canonized in advance, and tomorrow she will be able to ask for more for the Eight Princes! At that time, even if the prince under your knees enters the East Palace, the eight princes have all kinds of benefits in hand, can you rest assured? ”

Gu Zhen's face sank like water, I really want to say that this kind of thing should be the first thing your concubine wants to do, right?

But when I thought about it, although Yun Fenghuang's ambition was almost written on his face, it was true that Empress Dowager Yuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Instead of letting one of them support the Eighth Prince, and the other support the King of Qin and the Seventh Prince with their love, and when they grow up, they threaten the status and power of the East Palace, it is better to drive the wolf and devour the tiger and unite with Yun Fenghuang to solve the Empress Dowager Yuan first!

…… This is not that Gu Zhen is more disgusted with the Empress Dowager Yuan, but considering the three imperial heirs under Yun Fenghuang's knees, the King of Qin was canonized together with the King of Chu, and if he proposed to abolish the prince of the King of Qin with the Empress Dowager Yuan, it is estimated that the King of Chu will also be affected.

Princess Zhaoqing is a girl, and she is good-looking, and she is the eldest daughter of Chunjia, she has always been more favored, and it doesn't mean much to her, and it may annoy Chunjia.

As for the Seven Princes, this grandfather is a well-known calf protector.

In this way, it is also to weaken the other princes, so it is better to stop the eight princes.

Of course, after stopping the eighth prince from receiving the book in advance, the queen must have wanted to sell Yunfeng Huang again.

Yun Fenghuang actually thought the same way, and communicated with the queen how to use Concubine An to provoke disputes, so that the Empress Dowager was at the expense of the Empress Dowager first, and then it was not good to ask for extra grace for the eighth prince, and then she left.

Now the harem is mainly the two of them, and now that an agreement has been reached, the action is very fast.

The next day, the concubines went to the Chongchang Hall to ask for peace, after the salute, and said a little about the palace affairs, the queen let everyone disperse, and when Qu Hongzhen went down the steps, he fainted without warning.

Although this matter was abrupt, because Qu Hongzhen's status was not very bad, everyone watched the queen command to send it to the side hall and ordered the imperial doctor to invite the imperial doctor, and left a few words of concern for the queen and concubine who did not need money, and then retired.

As a result, I received news half a day later, saying that Qu Hongzhen was happy.

This is a poor girl who entered the palace at the same time as Yi Xingen, and her appearance is actually between Yun Fenghuang and Yun Fenghuang, but she is slightly inferior to Yi Xingen.

When she was a palace concubine in Xuanqing Palace, she also won the favor of Yun Fenghuan, but her luck has not been very good, and she has always been pressed by Yi Xingen.

Now that she is finally happy, not only did the former lord Yun Fenghuang give encouragement on the spot, but then she sent a large number of rewards to her palace, and many people who entered the palace were also quite embarrassed, feeling that she was also bitter and sweet, and finally wanted to get a real foothold in this palace.

That's right, for a concubine like Qu Hongzhuan who is not from a high background, even if she is lucky enough to be a concubine, there is still no guarantee for the future.

This has nothing to do with the emperor's favor, the main thing is that the rules of the dynasty are that once the saint dies, all the childless concubines will be sent to the emperor's tomb or the palace to observe the festival.

At that time, those who are noble-born may still have their families to take care of them, and they will be able to live a more relaxed life.

is not from a good background, and the real life and death honor and disgrace are in the hands of the caretaker.

In addition to the main palace, only those who have children under their knees, even if the heirs are not the concubines raised by themselves, are eligible to enjoy the family joy of following the new queen mother to live for a long time, and occasionally reuniting with flesh and blood.

So after Qu Hongzhen returned to her palace, there was an endless stream of visitors, all of whom came to congratulate her.

This matter was quite lively in the palace for two days, and even Chunjia heard it and laughed at it.

Then a few days later, when the concubines asked An Bi to disperse as usual, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd, followed by Qu Hongzhen rolling down the steps, and when the palace people who were waiting for her rushed down in panic and helped her up, the nearby concubines were surprised to see that the hem of her skirt was already bloody!

It didn't take long for Concubine An to overthrow Qu Hongzhen in public, causing the latter's unfortunate miscarriage, and the news spread all over the Sixth Palace!

The entire harem was full of rumors in an instant.

After all, everyone knows that Qu Hongzhuan is from a humble background, and the emperor's favor is not very good, not to mention the position, looking at it like this, even if he is pitted by Concubine An, no matter whether Concubine An does it intentionally or not, this loss can only be swallowed like this.

But Qu Hongzhen is not all without backers, she is the person who went out under the hands of Concubine Min Guifei Yunfenghuang, and has gone to Xuanqing Palace to walk around since three or five o'clock, serving tea to Yunfenghuang, courteous and thoughtful, as if she was still a palace concubine.

At this time, she has suffered such a big crime, and she has lost the imperial heir who came so easily, how can she not ask Yun Fenghuan to help her?

Yun Fenghuang is also willing to give her this head, over there Qu Hongzhen is still crying loudly on the couch for her unfortunate child, and here Min Guifei will lead someone to kill Huzhu Palace!

Queen Gu Zhen only arrived one step slower, and almost stopped the concubine who wanted to make a big fuss in the Ning Bi Palace: "The palace has its own rules, not to mention that everyone saw it at that time, Concubine An did not deliberately push the Qu family down the steps, but there were many people when they dispersed, plus all the attendants, they went out of the palace and down the steps together, which was very crowded, so I pushed it by mistake...... This is an unintentional mistake, why is the concubine so aggressive? ”

"Unintentional?" Yun Fenghuan looked contemptuous and said, "The person who took care of His Royal Highness the King of Chu at the beginning was also an unintentional mistake, so that His Royal Highness the King of Chu suffered, why didn't he see Niangniang open the net and spare them once?" ”

At the mention of the King of Chu, Gu Zhen's face sank, and then he said coldly: "It is natural for slaves and maids to serve their masters, and if they don't serve well, of course there must be punishment!" Otherwise, how can they have a long memory? However, what is Concubine An's identity? This is His Majesty's concubine, she shouldn't have touched Qu carelessly, but Qu knew that she was pregnant, why couldn't she be more careful? Concubine An is wrong in this matter, is Qu not wrong? ”

Yun Fenghuang sneered: "No matter how wrong the Qu clan is, the pain of losing the imperial heir, isn't this price enough?" However, as the lord of the six palaces, the queen mother has not gone to her palace to take a look at her so far, but she has been busy coming over to protect Concubine An, which can't help but make the concubine feel that the mother knew that such a thing would happen early in the morning? ”

This is almost said directly, Qu Hongzhen's miscarriage was not an accident, but the queen instructed Concubine An to do it.

Gu Zhen was furious: "What kind of thing is the Qu family, even if you are lucky enough to get pregnant, you can get a man in one fell swoop, can you shake the status of this palace if you are embarrassed?" It's also worth this palace to make such a big move against her?! ”

"If it weren't for that, then Niangniang is also a person who is troubled by the inability to personally continue the heir for His Majesty, how can she not pity the Qu clan who has just lost the imperial heir?" Yun Fenghuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Instead, you're thinking about the good Concubine An?" ”

The two sides have been arguing back and forth for a long time, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more stagnant, and the left and right sides are full of atmosphere and dare not come out!

At this moment, a palace man suddenly rushed out of the room, crying: "My mother can't think about it, it's hanging beam!" ”

Gu Zhen and Yun Fenghuan were stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other with a little embarrassment in their eyes.

Of course, Qu Hongzhen's miscarriage is a lie, anyway, the harem is up to the two of them, just to frame Concubine An for the crime of causing the palace concubine's miscarriage before Yuan Yiniang's mother and son return to the palace.

With Yuan Neem's special status, this matter will not let her do anything.

However, the Empress Dowager has no reason to fight for any special treatment for Yuan Yiniang's mother and son in the future.

But how could Concubine An, who was arrogant and domineering when she was favored and didn't soften a little after falling out of favor, couldn't think about it?

It's a bit embarrassing.

After a little hesitation, the queen concubine made up her mind not to do two things, since it was all on this, she would stop it, and the queen mother would not give up for fear of it.

It's better to simply nail Concubine An to murder the imperial heir, so that no matter whether Concubine An is dead or alive, they have no responsibility anyway!

At that moment, the queen shouted: "Then don't hurry up and save people!" ”

He also said Yun Fenghuan, "Even if Concubine An has been, she is not guilty to death, and now you have declared a personal vendetta, causing her to hang the beam, but are you satisfied?" ”

These words seem to be still defending Concubine An, but the meaning has quietly changed.

Just said that Concubine An didn't mean it, but now she has admitted that it was Concubine An.

Yun Fenghuang knew in his heart that he sneered: "The concubine is a concubine, she has the right to associate the six palaces, and a pregnant concubine has been pushed down in public, such a big thing, isn't it natural to come to Huzhu Palace to ask the culprit?" As a result, it has been a long time, and I only saw the queen's mother's maintenance of Concubine An, and Concubine An herself went to the hanging beam without saying a word, who knows if she was forced by the concubine, or committed suicide in fear of sin? ! ”

"Concubine An has six princes under her knees, and she has always kept to herself in the past two years." The queen shouted, "But what reason is there to murder the heir of the Qu family?!" ”

"Niangniang also said that Concubine An only kept to herself in the past two years, but what about the first two years?" Yun Fenghuang smiled, took two steps closer, leaned against the queen's ear, and said in a cold voice that everyone nearby could hear, "Don't talk about other palaces, just in this Huzhu Palace, how many unjustly killed palace concubines and heirs, Niangniang, you, the old man who entered the palace when His Majesty got married, should be clearer than the concubine!" is the so-called accumulated habits are difficult to change, who knows if Concubine An is addicted to murdering the imperial heir, and when she sees Qu's joy, she is not happy, and she is uncomfortable if she is not pushed? ”

Seeing that the queen frowned, she said again, "Besides, who in the Six Palaces doesn't know that the concubine and Concubine An have never been very harmonious. And the Qu family went out under the concubine's hands. She was able to be a concubine at the beginning, but she was still a concubine! ”

Gu Zhen calmed down and said, "It's just your guess!" ”

"Then what evidence does the mother have to say that the concubine is a personal vendetta?" The concubine asked with a sneer.

When they were arguing, the palace people had already saved Concubine An, and they came to tell in a panic, saying: "Concubine An Niangniang is still angry now, but just now the imperial doctor saw that Niangniang was depressed, and I am afraid that I can't help the stabbing - excited." ”

Before the queen could speak, Yun Fenghuang said coldly: "The palace and the queen are here, this eye is hanging on the bone, if you can die, it will be strange!" What are you worried about, it's not the first time you've summoned a doctor, and you don't know what they think back and forth? After being called, I really couldn't find out the problem, and I had to prescribe a prescription, so I prevaricated with this! ”

This is equivalent to saying that Concubine An is pretending to be and using the hanging beam as a means.

Ning Bi Hall was very angry, but the imperial favor of the concubine did not dare to say anything.

It was the queen who stood up and said two fair words, making Yun Fenghuan shut up: "They are all people who serve Your Majesty, Concubine An is still your predecessor in terms of seniority, and now that she is almost alive, you still have to say that she is not, don't you have any pity in your heart?" ”

"Niangniang, the Qu family is also a person who serves His Majesty, even if his qualifications are not as good as Concubine An, he has the merit of extending the heirs for His Majesty." Yun Fenghuan said lightly, "Now that one of her good children is gone, not only did you not comfort and comfort her, but patronized and came to protect Concubine An, where is the mercy of the mother?" It is true that Qu's background is the same as that of a concubine, and they are not very good. But he married his husband. Could it be that in this palace, the status is not determined by position, but by the husband's family? What is the face of the concubine, who is in the position of a noble concubine? ! Niangniang herself is a noble daughter of a family, so she tries her best to favor the noble girl, ignoring the life and death of such a poor daughter as a concubine? ”

Gu Zhen's face was gloomy, and he said: "This palace received the news that you came violently, and I am afraid that you will be angry and make a bastard!" ”

"But the fact is that the concubine didn't do anything, but it was Concubine An's miscarriage that caused the Qu family, which is obvious to everyone!" Yun Fenghuan didn't let go, "Since Niangniang is afraid that the concubine will make a jerk, what are you going to do about it?" Should you persuade the concubine to go back to Xuanqing Palace, and that's it?! ”

She looked at Gu Zhen and squinted slightly, "Or in the mother's selfish heart, Qu's baby is gone, just as you want?" ”

"You don't have to spew blood here!" Gu Zhen's eyes sharpened, and he shouted, "This palace is the queen, even if she is an heir, don't you call this palace 'queen mother'?" Qu has no imperial heir, aren't you sad to be the palace?! But the state-owned country has family rules, and the matter has come to this point, even if you want to deal with Concubine An, you should follow the rules, what qualifications do you have to make trouble in private? ! ”

"Did the concubine come here to make trouble?!" Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "The concubine has just come over, and the mother has the posture that the concubine has done something hurtful!" I don't know, I think it's not Concubine An who made the mistake, but the concubine! And just now the concubine said it, according to what the mother said, so what does the mother plan to do with Concubine An?! ”

The queen and the concubine quarreled inseparably, the concubine was pregnant, Concubine De pretended to be deaf and dumb, the virtuous concubine was still doing confinement outside the palace, and the concubines below were all shrunk and did not dare to touch the moldy head, the news reached the Chunyu Palace, and the Empress Dowager Yuan sighed deeply and said: "What kind of sin did the mourning family do, thinking that after surviving the Ji family, they would be able to calm down, but they put on such a worry-free thing!" ”

Dipping Willow looked sad, and said, "Why don't you rest first, and the servant will go to see what's going on for you?" Concubine An's sex has changed a lot in the past two years, and she really isn't the kind of nonsense she looks like, or there is some misunderstanding. ”

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you still don't know what the concubine is?" Empress Dowager Yuan sighed, "She is the kind of master who is unreasonable and has to fight for three points, not to mention that the Qu family was carried by her, and now that there is no good child, how can she give up?" Not to mention that she has always had a grudge with Neem, will she let go of such a good opportunity to play on the topic? At this time, even if the mourning family is in the past, she may not be willing to let go, let alone you. ”

After a pause, he said, "But Neem Niang has finally learned a little smarter, and this time the cantilever is hanging well, and finally gives the mourning family a little room to speak." ”
