Chapter 45: Aftermath

Yun Fenghuang smiled wryly in his heart, and said: "The affairs of the harem have always been decided by the Empress Empress, but Concubine Ji and the Empress Empress are first cousins, and it is said that they grew up together, so the Empress Empress should avoid suspicion... The empress dowager, and the mother empress dowager."

This is advancing with retreat, forcing the Ji family to give an explanation to the emperor.

Especially the Empress Dowager, this is the daughter of the Ji family, but her status is not comparable to that of the Empress Dowager Ji and Empress Ji. She is the wife of Emperor Shenzong and the mother of Emperor Xiaozong. Has an unshakable position.

Emperor Chunjia handed Ji Muzi to her, just to show her face.

In this way, the empress dowager must return the favor of the emperor elsewhere...

If used well, this favor is very useful.

The emperor gave a faint "hmm": "Then...Ji Tingzhao, do you think I should also be handed over to Marquis Haixi?"

"Mr. Ji is a foreigner, which is different from Concubine Ji." Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips, bowed his head and said, "I think it's fine for His Majesty to deal with it on his own. I don't want the empress dowager, mother empress dowager, empress empress, etc. to intervene in this matter."

When the Duke of Ye was thinking about guarding against his daughter, he probably didn't think of today.

Of course, Yun Fenghuang doesn’t care about the old duke’s bad luck. She looks like she’s eaten Coptis chinensis, and her heart is full of bitterness: If I make this proposal tonight, if I jump from Ji’s boat to the emperor on board.

She didn't feel sorry for selling Ji's Yunfenghuang, she just felt sorry for herself and went back to the Qishan Palace. If Yuan Lianniang hadn't been played to death, what would happen to her?

Originally, with Ji's influence in the palace, Yuan Lianniang was killed and framed Concubine Shu... Even if the planting can't be done well, the first one is always okay.

But looking at the emperor's calm and relaxed look now, maybe he has already made preparations by Yuan Niangniang's side?

Originally, Yunfenghuang didn't intend to be the emperor, at least not at the moment. After all, Yuan Niangniang's reputation is really not reassuring.

But I never expected that such a thing would happen tonight. As the queen, she personally told the concubine who stayed with the emperor to take charge of the overall situation. It's fine if she can't keep Ji Muzi. After all, she even conveyed the suggestion to Haixihou to kill her son. ...The point is, since the emperor wanted to hold on to Ji Muzi right now, he even called her over in a rage. If she didn't know what's interesting, who knows if she would be added to a certain list by the way? where?

In the final analysis, her foundation is too shallow, and she has come to this day purely by wandering around, and she does not have considerable strength. Under the current situation, she has no right to choose at all. So when you realize that something is wrong, even if you know that there will be endless troubles in your heart, you have to get over the difficulties in front of you first.

"How do you think I should deal with Ji Tingzhao?" The emperor carefully observed the change in her expression, and returned to his usual gentle tone.

Yun Fenghuang didn't dare to relax his vigilance because of this, and thought quickly: "I think that your majesty might as well tell it widely, so I will be merciful."

Spread the word widely to let everyone in the world know about Ji's evil deeds in private; but to be merciful shows the emperor's benevolence and tolerance.

The emperor smiled lightly and stroked the teacup: "My concubine is somewhat inferior to be Jieyu."

"I don't dare." Yun Fenghuang lowered his head, "I am satisfied if I can serve His Majesty."

The emperor stood up, stepped forward to help her up with his own hands, and said in a slow voice: "Why does my beloved concubine have to be so estranged from me? Didn't you always say that you like me the most, and you know that I like you? If that's the case, what's the matter with little things?" Is it worth being estranged from me?"

"...What Your Majesty said is true." Yun Fenghuang froze for a moment, then frowned, and smiled, "I like Your Majesty the most, how can I be willing to be strangers to Your Majesty? It's just that Concubine Ji is doing it right under my nose." After doing something like that, I feel sorry for Your Majesty..."

She deftly showed her desire to speak, but also had an expression full of guilt.

The emperor also skillfully comforted him and said: "This is Ji Concubine's fault. It is Ji's incompetence in teaching daughters. How can I blame Ai Concubine? In terms of seniority, Ai Concubine enters the palace later than Ji Concubine; in terms of age, Ai Concubine is older than Ji Concubine." She's almost ten years younger. So this matter has nothing to do with my concubine, I will send her to the Empress Dowager later, don't let my concubine have any grievances with me because of this! "

The two tacitly talked about you and me for a while, and then the emperor went to her yard to resettle under Yun Fenghuang's suggestion.

As for Yun Fenghuang himself, he had to stay to deal with the aftermath.

There was no way, even though the emperor had said that he would send Ji Muzi immediately to go to the Empress Dowager, this kind of thing couldn't be done by the emperor himself, Yun Fenghuang could only accept his fate.

She also has to take over, although she has already decided to abandon the Ji family, but after all, everyone can take what they want, and it would be great if they can part ways peacefully, right? It's so horribly torn, it's not good-looking, and it's not good... I just wonder if Ji Muzi can understand the general situation like her?

Ji Muzi and Yi Xingen were both placed in the wing room at the moment. When Yun Fenghuang entered, they each occupied a corner of the room, and the palace servants serving them were also distinct. Although the atmosphere was not relaxed, there was no tension at all. mean.

This is not surprising, no matter how poor Ji Muzi is, she is still Ji's concubine daughter, Yi Xingen comes from a humble background, has not been in the palace for long, and her status is not high, even if she is full of resentment and reason, how can she be suppressed?

Seeing Yun Fenghuang coming in, everyone in the room got up and saluted.

Yun Fenghuang waved his hand, letting Yi Xingen and his group go out first: "I know you have been wronged, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you!"

Yi Xingen didn't dare to refute: "Yes, I obey."

After she left, Yun Fenghuang glanced at the palace servants behind Ji Muzi, Ji Muzi nodded, and these people also retreated.

"Did you do this yourself, or?" Yun Fenghuang stared at Ji Muzi who was already fully dressed for a moment, and asked slowly.

Ji Muzi smiled: "I did it myself."

Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to ask, she followed up, "Your Majesty asked you to deal with me? So he has already convinced you?"

"Why did you do this?" Yun Fenghuang didn't answer her, and asked with a frown, "You should know that this move is meaningless, and it will bring more humiliation to the Ji family."

Ji Muzi said lightly: "Maybe it's because my Ji family's fortune has declined."

Seeing that Yun Fenghuang was puzzled, she explained, "A few days ago, the family got a prescription who could help children, and this time, my mother and sister specially kept me here just for...but I didn't expect Minggan to be on the bone here. It offended His Majesty so much that His Majesty didn't even want to go to my place."

"...If you confessed to me earlier and I arranged for you, even if it might not be successful, it would not be where it is now." Yun Fenghuang once again spit blood silently in his heart, and said, "You should know the relationship between you and me. Although there is some disharmony in the time, but at this moment, I hope you are happy."

Ji Muzi glanced at her, showing a sneer: "But it's too late to tell you this now, isn't it? Your Majesty, he...is really a good trick!"

Yun Fenghuang did not refute: "Even Haixihou dare not disobey His Majesty, let alone this palace? I did this for the good of you and Ji."

"What does His Majesty plan to do with us?" Ji Muzi was not in the mood to continue mocking her betrayal, and only asked in a deep voice.

Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty was really angry this time, I'm going to talk about it... and finally persuaded him to hand you over to the Empress Dowager."

Ji Muzi sneered: "Mao Jieyu is really thinking of me and Ji's! Knowing that the Empress Dowager is sick and has to go on her way, it is very inappropriate, but she still brought the matter to her old man, and she didn't know you What's on your mind?!"

She showed suspicion, "I think at the summer banquet..."

"Is the queen empress of this palace clearer?" Yun Fenghuang said disapprovingly, "Or do you think you are wiser than the middle palace? Then why are you both the daughter of the Ji family, and you are only a Zhaoyuan at the highest level, but the empress is high?" Phoenix seat? In the final analysis, it is because you yourself are suspicious and do not believe in me, and you have come to this point on your own initiative. If it wasn't for the empress's sake, you would think that I would be willing to come and smooth things over for you?!"

"Besides, Ji's current situation does not alarm the Empress Dowager, do you think it is possible?"

Ji Muzi opened his mouth, and before he could refute, Yun Fenghuang said again, "Besides, you still succeeded tonight, if you don't go to the Empress Dowager right now, if your family's prescription for giving birth is useful, Do you think you can keep it?"

"...Forget it, when are you leaving?" Ji Muzi was silent for a while, sighed, and asked, "Can the person who serves me take it with me?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Your Majesty is tired of you, so I want you to leave immediately. As for the person who serves you... I will ask Yan Yin later, if he agrees, then take him with you, otherwise I have nothing to do. Your Majesty Just fell asleep, how dare I disturb you tonight?"

When Ji Muzi left, she specifically asked for the secret recipe for childbirth.

Then he went to appease Yi Xingen, and said: "Poor boy! I just made a mistake. I didn't expect that concubine Ji's lowly maid to do such a thing! Not only did you suffer wronged and suffered, but I also suffered a lot. The palace has no place to be ashamed in front of His Majesty! No, I just told His Majesty just now, and sent him to the Empress Dowager overnight to ask for instructions on how to deal with him!"

"It's not that I don't want to vent your anger on you on the spot, but after all, that lowly servant girl belongs to the Ji family. Even Your Majesty, it's hard not to give the empress dowager a face."

"If someone else handles this, if it hinders the Empress Dowager, they may be merciful. But if the Empress Dowager decides in person, the Empress Dowager will not be easy to wrong Her Majesty."

Yi Xingen's face was submissive, and when she heard this, she immediately blessed her, and said in a soft voice: "I am stupid, I listen to my mother!"

Yun Fenghuang said: "You are a member of the palace, and there is absolutely no reason why the palace should not be with you. In this way, people, I have just been sent away by His Majesty's order. Let's wait and see what happens. Regarding this matter, with the empress, I must argue for you. Besides, I just asked someone to take some things to scare you."

While talking, Nian Xuan brought up the lacquer plate, two sets of jewellery, one set of red gold and one set of emerald emerald, both of which are exquisitely crafted and made of exquisite materials.

Yi Xingen looked at it subconsciously for a moment, then turned away in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this..."

"Even if you can't wear it for the time being, just put it away first." Yun Fenghuang blew on the tea bowl in front of him, and said in harmony, "Isn't Bengong himself an example?"

Yi Xing'en hurriedly said: "How can I be a concubine? Don't dare to compare with your empress!"

"In fact, the palace doesn't really care about these things. After concubine Ji's demotion, it's still the same as going in and out surrounded by jewels and greenery? With my palace here, what are you afraid of?" Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that these things were originally Ji Muzi. It was too late to clean up, but she hinted that Xi Jing and the others withheld it. After all, Yi Xingen's grievances were caused by Ji Muzi, so could it be that she was expected to confide in her private room to appease her?

She gave Yi Xingen two sets that she didn't like very much from the dowry she had withheld, and shared the rest with her confidantes, which was considered as compensation for the surprise of the master and servant during the last few nights.

At this moment, Yi Xingen was persuading Yi Xingen to accept it with anxiety and joy, and immediately said kindly: "You don't have these things now, and you will have them in the future. They are not worth mentioning. Concubine Ji has gone too far this time. When I scolded her alone, I asked for a special compensation for you."

As he spoke, he took out the wet-stained secret recipe for childbirth, and said with a smile, "The reason why Concubine Ji has the audacity to plot against His Majesty is because she only recently obtained this prescription..."

Yi Xingen, who had no interest in a prescription at first, listened to her narration, and her eyes gradually lit up: No matter how much you slander Concubine Ji, you have to admit that she has a good family, so Concubine Ji will experiment with the secret recipe for childbirth even if she offends the emperor. , How can there be no doorway? !

Even though Yi Xingen is very beautiful, but she has no family background, nor such skills as Yun Fenghuang, if she wants to gain a foothold in the palace where there are so many pink and white women and newcomers appearing in endlessly, and if she wants to advance to the throne as soon as possible, the only shortcut is to spread branches and leaves for the royal family—— Yun Fenghuang also said: "I don't understand medical principles, so I'll see the imperial physician later and if there is no problem, I will give it to you."

But she couldn't wait to say: "Madam, I know a little bit better, I used to run a medicine shop at home! I have been fascinated by it, it's not a particularly remote prescription, I can take a look at it!"
