Chapter Seventy-Four: A Hunger Strike

After Chunjia made the punishment of Minghui, he actually knew that there would definitely be people in the Wing Country Mansion who were dissatisfied.

Even Yi Guogong did not have grievances in his heart.

After all, this is an important minister who has taken the initiative to get closer to him since he was in power, and he has always been loyal, there is nothing to blame, not to mention, the death of the only concubine Zhen Xi Shufei is not very clear so far, and Yiguo Gong has not said anything.

Now the eldest grandson may also be damaged, but the culprit is only grounded for a year, or a hidden grounding, and even the charges and crimes will not be announced to the public...... Asking himself, Chunjia also felt that he was too mean to be an emperor.

So he decided to increase the compensation to the Wing Kingdom Mansion this time.

However, he still has no time to think about the specific compensation method.

After all......

Concubine Min is still throwing a tantrum.

At first, Chunjia thought that the concubine just didn't want to see herself, so she thought about it and coaxed it slowly.

As a result, in the afternoon of the day when the eldest princess Minghui returned to the door, he came back from Qingci Palace with a calm face, and there were palace people from Xuanqing Palace who came over and cried and begged him to see his mother: "Niangniang, she is dying!" ”

This surprised Chunjia!

Hurried to the Huanhua Palace, only to know that Yun Fenghuang didn't really die, but he came back from the Taichu Palace that day and started a hunger strike, so he was not dying after three days?

I couldn't persuade the left and right, and I was ordered not to spread the word, and I was told to this day, and a few stewards around me discussed, and felt that it was not okay to go on like this, even if they were punished and punished together, so they called someone to notify Chunjia.

"Why are you doing this?" Chunjia knew why the concubine was like this, waved back left and right, and couldn't help but persuade, "I just asked, did you say it, I didn't say I didn't believe you, why do you have to suffer like this for this?" ”

Yun Fenghuan turned over and turned his back to him, ignoring him.

Chunjia coaxed softly for a long time, and when she still ignored her, she stretched out her hand to forcibly turn the person around, and said softly: "I shouldn't be suspicious of you this time, don't worry about me, okay?" ”

He did this and admitted his mistake in a low voice, but Yun Fenghuang didn't appreciate it at all, even though he had been hungry for three days at the moment and had no strength, he still relied on the tips of his nails, scratched a few blood marks on the back of his hand, and sneered: "What should you not do?" Anyway, the former dynasty and the harem all recognized that I was a city government deep and evil, don't you think so too? Otherwise, why is it that when something happens, the first one thinks of me? Even if I am on the same page as the eldest princess Minghui, I will intervene in the people around her, that is, the people below can't even say a word, that's it, she hurt the princess of Yiguo, you also want to get my head! ”

Chunjia consciously took care of the loss, and said with a smile: "I'm also afraid that you don't act carefully, thinking that if you do it, I will cover up a little bit for you, if you don't do it, I will naturally give Yiguo Gong an explanation." ”

"You lie to the ghost!" Yun Fenghuang sat up strongly, smiled coldly at him, and said contemptuously, "You know exactly what the princess of Yiguo has done to me, I have been in the palace for all these years, when I am good with you, when I am angry, when have you ever mentioned that you want to help me explain to the princess?" At this time, if I really did this, wouldn't you have handed me over to the Duke of Yiguo to deal with it earlier? I can see it, for a Ming gentleman like you, the favored concubines of the virtuous queen are all empty, who can help you stabilize the country, who is the tip of your heart! It's just that after it's useful, that's it! ”

Chun Jia's face was very unbearable, and his face suddenly became a little gloomy.

Yun Fenghuang didn't care at all, and said coldly: "My mother's brothers are all bastards who can't be helped, I have thought about it repeatedly in the past two days, my position in front of you has now reached the top, and I can only go down in the future, and there is no better thing." In that case, what else do I have to toss? It's better to leave it here, and maybe I can win you some glory. After two years, my old Zhuhuang and newcomers come in, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to get an ending like the Zheng family? ! ”

“…… Why do you say such things again? Chunjia pressed her eyebrows and forced herself to slow down her tone, "It's me who is wrong this time, but you are not comfortable in your heart, just tell me, whether it is a seizure or a gas, why make fun of your body?" Two days ago, the Imperial Doctor said that you are much better now, and in another three or two years, you may be able to ......."

Thinking that the imperial doctor didn't dare to give the right words, he was worried that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and in the end he didn't say the words of "personally giving birth to the emperor's heir", but said, "When I came up from Fuyang County, the clan and courtiers were very cold to me, and only Yiguo Gong stood up and regarded me as the king. For this reason, I really can't say anything to him about your grievances. But now the love between you and me is shallow? If this matter of the world's wife is really from your hands, I am personally making amends to the Duke of Yiguo, how can I hand you over? ”

"Speaking of which, you just don't believe I won't really embarrass you." Yun Fenghuang said contemptuously, "Otherwise, you will specifically call me over for interrogation?" In the past two years, I have certainly acted as Meng Lang, but when did I deliberately provoke the relationship between you and your loyal courtiers? The concubine of the Duke of Yiguo is dead, but his concubine is still in the palace. You have to know that the reason why I was calculated in the first place had a lot to do with Concubine Xie! With my temper, I can make her wife in the palace peaceful until now, and give birth to four princes!? She can have a good life today because she is the biological flesh and blood of the Duke of Yiguo. Yiguo Gong no longer has a daughter in the palace, if this is gone, even if this is a daughter he doesn't attach so much importance to, I always wonder if you will lose face in front of the important ministers?! ”

"Actually, if you think about it from my own side, the King of Qin under my knee is the heir of Concubine Zhenxi, if there is no fourth prince, and the Duke of Yiguo is such a grandson in the palace, can he not value King Qin more?"

"I'm thinking about you like this, but you're still suspicious, so what am I still alive for?"

"In the future, you will pamper whoever you like, and trust whoever you love, anyway, it has nothing to do with me!"

Seeing Chunjia holding her hand with a guilty face, she immediately shook it off and sneered, "A few days ago, you summoned me over and said that my family's children were using Bailu to spread rumors, and it is said that the Qi family is involved in me, aren't you the first to bear the brunt?" But how could I ever doubt you? ”

Yun Fenghuang said angrily, "In my eyes, although you are not shallow, but all kinds of means are used to deal with others, but you are always above board to me!" But in your eyes, I can do to others as I can do to you! ”

"......" Chunjia was speechless by her counting, and only admitted her mistake.

He also said that these are his own responsibilities, and he should not bear the consequences by Yun Fenghuan.

Yun Fenghuang said: "Why don't I bear the consequences? I shouldn't have made a promise to you in the first place, and I didn't want to think about my background, one of the concubines in this palace was pulled out casually, and before I entered the palace, I would dislike people who carried shoes. What qualifications do I have to get your heart? This is my own sin, and I deserve the consequences! ”

Chunjia said in a low voice: "If you are still angry, just beat me and scold me, so you can eat something, if nothing else, just for the King of Qin, they are still young, how can they leave the care of your mother?" Besides, your mother is on her way to the imperial capital, if she hears bad news about you just now, how sad should she be? ”

"My mother is coming to the imperial capital?" Yun Fenghuan was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing this, Chunjia hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "That's right, in fact, it should have arrived a long time ago, but it was cold today, and there was wind and snow along the way, which delayed the trip." ”

As a result, Yun Fenghuan followed and pushed him hard, shouting: "I don't even know about things, but you know so well?" I don't think that our Xie clan has the qualifications to make you a dignified son of heaven stare at it with a good eye, and even keep in mind the whereabouts of a woman's family! You are 100,000 worried about me, so you want to pull my own mother over as a hostage? ”

Then he wept, "How many sins did I do in my previous life to meet you?" ”

Chunjia was anxious and explained in every possible way, but Concubine Min refused to listen, anyway, whatever he said, she could understand that the emperor didn't trust her...... Finally, seeing that the time for dinner had arrived, the emperor was helpless, so he sighed and said, "If you don't want to eat, forget it, then I'll accompany you." ”

He did what he said, and on this day, many palace people from the Huanhua Palace knelt down outside the dormitory to beg, and the emperor and concubine did not enter the tea and rice.

The next morning, the emperor did not refuse to have breakfast, so he went to the court, and Yun Fenghuang had taken leave with the queen two days before, and he refused to eat on the fourth day, and his mental strength was weak, so he lay on the couch and fell asleep grogily.

The Qing people quietly hid two fruits in their sleeves and went in to see her, Yun Fenghuang asked her to look at the wind, gnawed on the fruits to satisfy her hunger, and asked about the Jiang family's visit to the imperial capital by the way: "When is this news, why hasn't anyone told the palace?" ”

"The servant doesn't know." Qing Ren hurriedly said, "Xu is the thirteenth prince and they did it privately?" After all, the last time the mother had a seizure, they were very frightened, probably wanting to ask their wife to come over and help intercede. ”

Yun Fenghuang sneered and said, "If my mother comes, I don't know if she is busy entering the palace to intercede with the palace, or chasing them to beat and scold them and set rules for them?" ”

"Madame must be towards the mother." Qingren said softly, "It's okay if Madame comes, you must help Niangniang keep an eye on these people and don't let them mess around." ”

"That's right, but who knows what the future holds?" Yun Fenghuang thought that Chunjia was still so young now, if there was no accident, Chunjia still had many years, so he sighed slightly and said, "When my mother refused to stay in the imperial capital, wasn't she worried about this?" ”

It's so good, but in Yun Fenghuang's opinion, if you are really reluctant, how can you be willing to be separated for many years?

The Jiang family loves her, she believes this, but the Jiang family is not only her child.

Although this truth was understood when he competed with Xie Fengfeng for favor many years ago, Yun Fenghuang was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Maybe people who are used to being favored are like this.

She wouldn't admit it was her insatiable greed anyway.

"How so?" The Qing people spoke to the old master, "Think about it, after the lady learned that you entered the palace, she didn't say a word and tried her best to rush over!" This time, I heard the news and immediately came here...... Mrs. is most worried about you, the reason why she refused to settle in the imperial capital earlier, in the final analysis, Mrs. has been operating in the ancestral house for a lifetime, where is it said that you can let go if you let go? ”

Yun Fenghuang didn't complain anymore, and said in a low voice: "It's okay for her to come early, the thirteenth brother and them, no one is staring, and the palace doesn't want to use them anymore." With the background of this palace and the current status, there are not enough people staring at this palace in the former harem? This time, you have also seen that the princess is sick, and it has nothing to do with the palace in the final analysis, just because the palace has a grudge with the princess and the wife, His Majesty took the lead in personally suspecting the palace...... If this palace is from the queen's background, Your Majesty will bring it up so bluntly? ”

"Your Majesty, this is not going to see the mother." Qingren comforted, "You want Your Majesty to ask you when you specially sent you back, it can be seen that I still feel sorry for you, and I plan to figure out the ins and outs before making a plan." Otherwise, it would be a public question, and even a crime would be convicted indiscriminately, and you would be able to appease the Wing State Mansion. ”

“…… You are taking him as the son of heaven, so you think that the thunder and rain are all Jun'en! Yun Fenghuang sighed, "But if this palace is purely the Son of Heaven, will he still treat him like this?" Or do you think Hongu won't pretend? ”

Qingren didn't know what to say for a while, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty is not easy, and he also tries his best to be good to you." Just ......"

"It's just that he has his problems?" Yun Fenghuang handed her the core of the fruit, took the tea and rinsed his mouth, and said lightly, "But in this world, how many people are not having a hard time?" Isn't it easy to go to this palace? ”

But who of the concubines is not wronged and flattered by the emperor? Qing Ren thought so, but he didn't dare to say it, and said softly: "Niangniang is wronged." ”

Yun Fenghuan didn't answer, waved his hand, and let her go down.

At noon, the emperor interrupted the handling of government affairs and came to the Huanhua Hall by chariot.

Because of the two consecutive meals of water and rice, the emperor was very tired, his lips were even a little chapped, and the expressions of the imperial attendants became more and more solemn one by one, and this solemnity became despair after being told that Concubine Min had refused to eat so far.

Chunjia personally went to the couch to persuade for a while to no avail, was silent for a moment, and said, "Then let's go together." ”

It's just that he still wants to accompany the concubine to continue the stalemate, but the people who are waiting can't bear it, most of the people are kneeling on the ground and begging them not to go on like this, and the few who are fast are divided into several roads, going to Chunyu Palace, Jiashan Palace and Yanfu Palace, and respectively told the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Queen Gu Zhen.

The three of them were very surprised when they heard the news, they all knew very well that Yun Fenghuang was favored, but they didn't expect her to be favored to such an extent, she didn't eat or drink, and the emperor couldn't persuade her, so she didn't eat or drink with the respect of the Son of Heaven...... The queen's mood was particularly complicated, and she calmed down before she said: "The concubine is confused, what can't you say well, you have to torture yourself like this, and you are even more tired of the holy driver?" Tell someone to prepare and go to the Huanhua Palace! ”

She arrived at the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother of Our Lady almost before and after, and you must know that Xuanqing Palace is not far from Yanfu Palace, but it is quite far from Chunyu Palace and Jiashan Palace, which shows how anxious the two Queen Mothers are.

The three phoenixes drove to the Huanhua Palace, and asked the palace people who were kneeling all over the ground to get up so as not to get in the way, and went directly into the dormitory to see the imperial concubine.

Entering the door of the dormitory, turning the eight-fold screen of the carved landscape, flowers and birds, rosewood and mica marble seat, I saw that between the low hanging curtains, Chunjia was dressed in court clothes, sitting on the edge of the couch, holding the hand of the concubine, and the concubine was facing inward, not looking at him, from the sight of the person who came in from the outside, only saw her white chin, hidden between the hair and the bedding of the black crow.

"What kind of illness has the concubine become, even the emperor has to accompany her without eating or drinking?" Empress Dowager Yuan only glanced at the concubine, then went to see Chunjia, and saw Chunjia tightly locking her eyebrows, her expression was quite flattering, her heart felt like she had been stabbed, and she couldn't help sneering, "If you don't mourn the family, you will accompany you to water and rice, and see if it can be better, how about it?" ”
