Chapter Seventy-Four: The Storm Comes
It's not a big deal to die a palace maid, someone dies every day in this palace, a lowly existence, if you die, you're just dead, and no one will care.
Leng Yunyan has been particularly fond of strolling in the imperial garden recently, she knows that Yan Zhichu will definitely try her best to contact her, after all, now that the first emperor has died, and the new emperor has not completed the enthronement ceremony, this is the best time to compete for the throne.
There have been a lot of palace maids and eunuchs who have died intermittently these days, and it may not be a problem to die one or two, but there is a problem with the death of more than ten or twenty people.
And these dead people all have a common characteristic, that is, they have all had contact with Leng Yunyan.
The people in the palace looked at Leng Yunyan's eyes a little differently, but they didn't dare to offend Leng Yunyan more and more, and they didn't even dare to approach Leng Yunyan.
Who knows what will happen to her? Will it be the next person to die.
Although life is difficult, death is still too heavy after all, if you can live well, even if life is harder, why die?
There were such dead people in the palace, and the dead people had been in contact with Leng Yunyan before they died, so it naturally reached Chu Yunxuan's ears.
Chu Yunxuan looked at Leng Yunyan standing in front of the blood-red rose in the imperial garden, she seemed to be very fond of this flower, he had seen her in a daze at the rose flower several times.
He remembered that Yuxing also liked this flower, and it had to be blood-red, the entire Jinse Palace was full of blood-red roses, and there were no other flowers in the Jinse Palace except for roses.
"You are leisurely, you still have time to enjoy the flowers here" Leng Yunyan was startled by Chu Yunxuan's voice.
Then he saw Chu Yunxuan's gaze falling on the blood-red rose thoughtfully.
"Courtiers see Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan'an" said hello in a decent manner, and there was no overstepping or getting closer.
"Courtier? You still seem to be very vague about your identity" Chu Yunxuan looked at Leng Yunyan coldly, when this woman said that she would marry her, but after she agreed, she began to behave.
Chu Yunxuan couldn't understand Leng Yunyan a little, he and the woman he met were not quite the same.
Although the queen mother is his biological mother, in fact, the queen mother does not pay much attention to him, and almost has the same attitude towards the heirs of the first emperor.
Chu Yunxuan originally thought that this was the love of a queen as a mother, she was gentle and generous to the world, but it was not until the arrival of Yuxing.
The queen said that her name was Chu Yunyao, her eldest sister, and her daughter.
Chu Yunxuan didn't care at first, the queen mother was her mother-in-law, and all the children of the first emperor were her children.
It wasn't until he saw Leng Yuyi's preference and doting on Princess Chu Yunyao of the Jade Star that he understood what her child meant.
Chu Yunxuan knew that the queen would also love her children in different ways, but he had the love of his father, and he had no opinion on sharing some of his mother's love with the eldest sister, and the eldest sister was really good to him.
"Then what does Your Majesty think the courtier's identity should be?" Facing Leng Yunyan's rhetorical question, Chu Yunxuan was a little silent, he let Leng Yunyan live in the palace, but he didn't give Leng Yunyan any identity.
"Don't you know what you want? My queen" Leng Yunyan looked at Chu Yunxuan's appearance and laughed.
"Your Majesty, you have time to gamble with your courtiers here, you might as well think more about how to deal with your brothers" Leng Yunyan's words made Chu Yunxuan's face look ugly.
"Recently, the palace people have died frequently, and they have all been in contact with you before they died, don't you have anything you want to talk to me?" Chu Yunxuan originally came to find Leng Yunyan for this matter.
"It's a very common thing for a few palace people to die in the palace, and besides, what do they have to do with the courtiers when they fall into the water? If something happens to someone who has been in contact with the courtier, he will blame the courtier, it would be too far-fetched" Leng Yunyan was not at all frightened by Chu Yunxuan's Xingshi's questioning.
"Why didn't I find out before, you are so sharp-toothed"
"Your Majesty has never been in contact with a courtier before, has he?"
"I hope that when you face the ministers, you can be so skillful" After Chu Yunxuan finished speaking, he didn't have a chance to be cold and smoked, so he brushed his sleeves and left.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty" Leng Yunyan maintained her due courtesy from beginning to end.
Looking at Chu Yunxuan's back, Leng Yunyan knew that she couldn't be leisurely like this, and the wind and rain were coming.
She killed the first palace maid to contact her, but when this kind of thing happens one after another, it's difficult for others not to suspect her, she's not so stupid.
Now it is obvious that someone deliberately drew fire on her body, and this trick is really good to kill people with a knife.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, this kind of thing happened in the palace, which was nothing in the first place, but it happened to be the wind direction for the new emperor to deal with it.
If Chu Yunxuan doesn't deal with her, she will inevitably have the reputation of being a new emperor who is not kind, and then it will be difficult for Chu Yunxuan, the emperor, to ascend to the throne smoothly.
But if Chu Yunxuan disposes of Leng Yunyan, he will inevitably have a reputation for being unkind, but for an emperor, the reputation of being unkind and unrighteous is much better than that of being unkind.
For Chu Yunxuan, the best way to deal with this matter is to deal with Leng Yunyan.
How Chu Yunxuan should choose is the most beneficial, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but the key point is still in Chu Yunxuan itself.
Leng Yunyan knew Chu Yunxuan's choice, but Chu Yunxuan had not yet obtained the military power in Leng Yunyan's hands, so the punishment would not be too heavy.
Coming today, in fact, he just told Leng Yunyan to prepare early, although he didn't like Leng Yunyan, but at this moment, they were allies.
Chu Yunxuan gave Leng Yunyan a chance to argue for himself, but if Leng Yunyan could win a few points for himself, it was all up to him, and the new emperor at this time could not be biased against her.
Originally, this kind of thing would just be passed on by the palace people, and Chu Yunxuan didn't need to go there in person, but he still came.
Leng Yunyan didn't want to guess Chu Yunxuan's thoughts, and she didn't care about his attitude towards herself, all she had to do was let him become the emperor in peace.
As for the position of the queen, that much-anticipated position was never what she thought, but Yuxing told her that no one could become Chu Yunxuan's queen, although she didn't know why, but she still did it.
After Chu Yunxuan ascended the throne, Leng Yunyan would be the queen, and when the time came, just find a reason to make Chu Yunxuan abolish, or directly fake the golden cicada and get out of the shell, it will become a vacant position for him as the queen.
Da Chu only has the queen who marries in from the main gate, and there is no successor, which is the ancestral rule for thousands of years.
The queen of Da Chu, no matter whether Fei lives or dies, there is only one.
Even if the queen is deposed, she can't be canonized as a new queen.
