Chapter 124: Grounded

"Your Majesty!" Without further ado, Concubine Zheng knelt down in front of Chunjia, and said sadly, "I implore Your Majesty to see clearly and return my innocence!"

Before Chunjia opened her mouth, there was a "plop" beside her, and Yun Fenghuang also knelt down, her eyes were dim with tears, sad and mournful, she cried better, her expression was more wronged than her, her figure was weaker than her, and her choked voice She was a little more delicate than her, and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine is not well-off, and I can't personally carry on your majesty's offspring, so I can only look to the people in the palace. Now Yi Yuwan, who is in the palace as a concubine, is already pregnant, and I am full of thoughts on her. It's too late for her, so how can I care about other things? It's really unfair to be a concubine!"

"..." The emperor calmed down and said slowly, "Mao Zhaoyi."

Yun Fenghuang sobbed softly, took two steps forward on his knees: "I'm here!"

"Since you came here in Luqin Terrace till now, whether it's the Zhen, the Empress, or the Imperial Concubine, some people say they doubt you?" The emperor said with a sullen face, "You're such a vicious soldier, even questioning the Imperial Concubine, what on earth are you thinking!"

"Your Majesty's lesson!" Yun Fenghuang said with a face of disbelief, "Because of Concubine Shu's matter, I came to Luqin Terrace to seek justice! As a result, Zhao Chenggui didn't have an accident sooner or later, but today In the evening, when His Majesty was resting in the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, something happened... How can I not suspect that this is for my concubine?"

Concubine Zheng Gui was holding the handkerchief, trembling with anger, and said in a trembling voice: "If this palace knew that Zhao Chenggui would go wrong tonight, even if I personally guarded her bedside, I would definitely not allow anyone to harm the emperor's heir." Go! Mao Zhaoyi, you are spitting blood!"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Young concubine, don't be so full of words! Don't forget that the abortion medicine appeared in the anti-fetal medicine you gave Zhao Chenggui, no matter how good the prescription and pulse case you gave, It can only show that you care about yourself, but it doesn't mean that you are responsible for both Zhao Chenggui's mother and daughter! Besides, who knows how the abortion medicine got into Zhao Chenggui's medicine bowl? Could it be himself? Did you walk in with long legs?"

"Mao Zhaoyi is young!" Concubine Zheng said with tears in her eyes slowly, "My palace is nearly ten years ahead of you, now looking at you newcomers, I feel older and weaker! Zhaoyi has no children Ability, or even being able to toss around alive and kicking! But this palace has no such energy! Ever since the poor emperor..."

When she said this, she subconsciously touched the lower abdomen that had returned to flatness, and even under the cover of the palace clothes, there were no traces of pregnancy, and she burst into tears, "Since the poor child of this palace is gone, this palace has been having trouble sleeping and eating! Slowly speaking, if you attack Zhao Chenggui, even if you hear something related to miscarriage, you can’t stand it, let alone allow those pickled things to enter Luqin Terrace?!”

Concubine Zheng Guifei was only a little plump during her pregnancy, and she lost weight quickly after the miscarriage, even thinner than before pregnancy.

Because the news of Zhao Chenggui's accident was received very abruptly, she got up in a hurry, her dress was not neatly dressed, and her outer shirt was loosely tied, which made her waist appear more cramped and her temples were disheveled. The hairpin curled up, and at this moment, it looked like it was unbearable to be hit repeatedly. Those who really heard it were sad and those who saw it wept. Even Chunjia, who had always treated her with little affection, showed a look of sorrow.

However, Yun Fenghuang's heart is hard, but he just sneered: "Because I can't personally spread branches and leaves for Your Majesty, I am more and more concerned about the people in the palace! These days, whenever Your Majesty goes to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, I will not give up. It's a different way to arrange for people in the palace to attend the bed, and for Yi Yuwan who is pregnant, she even greets her with care and care, treating her like her own sister!"

"The concubine thought that this is the normal way to be worried about the emperor's heir - Zhao Chenggui was not from Yanlan Palace, but because the imperial concubine had a miscarriage, the empress sent him to the deer to comfort the imperial concubine. Qintai. As a result, the imperial concubine ignored her at first, so that Zhao Chenggui was terrified; then she allowed someone to put abortion products in Zhao Chenggui's anti-fetal medicine! Dare I ask what the imperial concubine did at this moment Why do you have the face to talk about feeling sorry for the emperor's heir?"

She said disdainfully, "When the upper and lower lips touch, who wouldn't say nice words? The imperial concubine, please feel your conscience and think about it. How can you care for the emperor's heir by doing this? Oh, maybe you care about yourself The missing emperor's heir is really distressing. But what Zhao Chenggui conceives, is it possible that it is not His Majesty's flesh and blood?!"

"You lowly servant girl!!!" Zheng Guifei listened to these heartbreaking words, the blood on her face faded in an instant, her lips trembled all the time, and she pointed at Yunfenghuang, what she wanted to say was in the end. With a roar, he got up from the ground, rushed up and beat him, "How dare you slander me like this!"

But Yun Fenghuang was clever, immediately stood up, took three steps and took two steps to hide behind the emperor, shouting: "Your Majesty, look at her! Look at her!"

Emperor Chunjia: "..."

He looked expressionlessly at the two concubines chasing around his seat, and asked coldly, "Have you had enough trouble?!"

Concubine Zheng Gui burst into tears, but she immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I know my mistake!"

"Your Majesty..." Yun Fenghuang still wanted to complain relentlessly, but the emperor turned his head and gave him a hard look, and then knelt down aggrieved, not forgetting to mutter, "This is originally the noble concubine's..."

Seeing the emperor looking at her coldly, she pursed her lips and finally stopped talking.

"Imperial concubine Zheng and Zhaoyi Yun are disrespectful in front of the imperial court." Chunjia squeezed his forehead, and ordered with a calm face, "From tonight onwards, you will be restrained!"

Concubine Zheng choked with sobs and kowtowed: "Concubine Sin obeys the holy order!"

Yun Fenghuang hummed and chirped: "I obey the order."

While talking, the two of them did not forget to glare at each other.

The emperor looked tired, and Zhao Chenggui's pregnancy was saved for the time being, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up: "The empress urged Zheng Yun's foot restraint, I will return to the hall first."

Empress Ji sent Shengjia away, returned to the hall, sighed and said to the second concubine: "Is there anything I can't say properly, it is inexplicably made like this! Now there are only a few concubines in the palace, one after another... no Let the newcomers see all your jokes!"

"Your Majesty, how can the concubine be seen as a joke by the newcomer?" Hearing this, Concubine Zheng smiled wryly, "The concubine is almost trampled on by the newcomer!"

Empress Ji glanced at Yun Fenghuang, and her tone became cold: "Mao Zhaoyi is young and ignorant, and I don't bother to argue with you. But the palace has its own rules. If you make trouble again and again, Your Majesty can tolerate you, but this palace cannot tolerate people who do anything wrong!"

"Your Majesty, this is obviously because of Concubine Concubine Concubine Shu's sister..." Yun Fenghuang was interrupted by the Empress sternly in the middle of his words: "Go back to your Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion!"

Because of this, Yun Fenghuang was watched by the queen's attendants, and returned to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion angrily.

She was about to settle down before, and now she came back, freshened up a little, and went straight to sleep—she wanted to sleep soundly, but this night Luqin Terrace, Baoser Xiaozhu, Xingxintang and other places almost stayed up all night sleep.

In the morning of the next day, the waiter of the Fangyin Pavilion came to spread the word, saying that the Empress Dowager was very angry when she learned that Zhao Chenggui had been murdered. Considering that the Empress Dowager Mother was very tired after returning from praying for blessings at Shanyuan Temple, the Empress Dowager Mother never cared about world affairs. , So he ordered his loving mother, the Empress Dowager, to be responsible for a thorough investigation.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Yuan ordered people to call the relevant people to Fangyin Pavilion for questioning early in the morning.

Then, Yun Fenghuang, who had a ruddy complexion and was full of energy, was mixed with a group of empresses and concubines with haggard expressions and dark eyes, which was particularly eye-catching...

Empress Dowager Yuan noticed that the corners of her mouth twitched, and she asked what happened one by one according to the rules. After repeated inquiries and verification, she asked the others to step back temporarily, leaving Yun Fenghuang alone to speak: "You made such a fuss last night. Out of anger, the emperor walked away with a flick of his sleeves, and returned to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion by himself, feeling relaxed!"

"The empress dowager's enlightenment!" Yun Fenghuang said with a grievance on his face, "I really didn't want to make trouble! I was frightened when I first heard about Zhao Chenggui's accident! After all, there are pregnant concubines in this palace, and they have been... ...Yi Yuwan at my concubine's place, I can't wait to serve her personally every day! No, I didn't have all the hairpins at the time, so I chased him directly to Luqin Terrace! As a result, I just..."

"Where did you get so suspicious at such a young age?" The Empress Dowager Yuan just asked about the passing of Luqin Terrace, she was very clear, she interrupted with a sigh, and said, "Although the imperial concubine is not as good as you are to Yi Yuwan Shangxin, but Your Majesty has no children so far, how could she not pay attention to Zhao Chenggui's pregnancy? It is absolutely impossible to risk Zhao Chenggui's pregnancy."

Yun Fenghuang was ashamed to admit his mistake: "The concubine was also frightened. After all, the matter of Concubine Shu and Concubine Xin before... I really thought that this time it was for the concubine."

She didn't hide anything, and stated her inference in every detail, "Not long ago, I received the grace of the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, so I found a group of people who had served the concubine from the family to come to the palace as close servants. There are two mothers among them, who are specially planning for Yi Yuwan and other concubines who will be pregnant in the future. This is not... It is not about worrying about Luqintai. , Luqintai got out of the basket... I am really scared!"

She began to wipe her tears, and said, "If this is normal, the concubine has a low life, and if it is gone, it will be gone! But the concubine's biological mother is still here! If there is a mistake in the concubine, how can she listen to it?" Not? When the time comes, she... the concubine... the concubine would not regret dying by herself, but she has not repaid one ten-thousandth of her kindness to her biological parents so far, so how can she have the heart to let them worry about the concubine?"

"You really care about chaos." The Queen Mother Yuan still prefers the mother-daughter relationship. After all, in her life, she has neither a memorable boudoir friend nor an earth-shattering marriage. The mother-child friendship between Chunjia has devoted most of her life to management, and it continues to this day.

Yun Fenghuang kept saying that he felt sorry for his mother and was sorry for his biological parents. Even if the queen mother knew that the young concubine was dishonest, she probably said that on purpose, but her expression eased a lot after all, and she said lightly, "You just think it's a shock to have such a thing happen in Luqintai. You are going to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, why don't you think about what happened in the palace in the past two days?"

"In the palace?" Yun Fenghuang was crying and devoted himself and worked hard, he was slightly startled when he heard the words, and said in a daze, "In the past two days in the palace... the mother and the empress have come back after praying?"

After saying this, I suddenly thought of the rumors about Princess Jinyun and Ji Minggan, as well as the emperor's attitude, and suddenly came to my senses, "What is the empress dowager saying???"

"The matter between Princess Jinyun and Ji's son was reported by the people in front of the empress dowager." The empress dowager Yuan sighed, and said in a low voice, "But the emperor does not approve of this matter, so he sent someone to Xianzhi last night. Ting, let the mother empress dowager take care of the rumors in the palace... Those palace people who spread the news were killed overnight. If nothing else happens at this moment, where will the mother empress dowager face?"

Yun Fenghuang gaped and said, "But...but this shouldn't be done to the emperor's heir!"

Of course, this statement was for the Empress Dowager Yuan to read. In fact, she didn't think there was any problem in killing an emperor's heir in order to cover the face of the Empress Dowager Ji. The imperial concubine was so cautious, didn't the child in her stomach have an accident? Everyone in this palace said that the emperor's heir is extremely precious, but whether it is actually precious or not depends on who it is for.

She was just surprised that Mrs. Ji was not stupid, even if she did this, how about making Queen Mother Yuan know everything about it every night?
