Chapter 18 A Palace Fight Is Incomplete without Betraying Your Teammates

Not long after, Yun Fenghuang's master and servant were led to the queen.

After the ceremony was completed, before she could open her mouth, the Queen above her had already asked with a chuckle: "Yun Chenggui, are you here to apologize?"

Yun Fenghuang said respectfully: "In response to your Majesty's words, yes."

"You came here by yourself?" Empress Ji said softly, "It's just a hairpin, and you went all the way to do it. You know the rules!"

These words sounded like praise, but Yun Fenghuang knew that it was not a good answer. At least he would not be able to get off the stage, but at worst... Hmm, who knows how the Queen would spend her time?

After all, she had gone to Tongxia Palace to see Concubine Yun Shu in the past two days to pay her respects, and came there under the leadership of Concubine Yun Shu. At this moment, she was serious about asking for forgiveness, but she left Concubine Shu alone and came here alone. This kind of behavior will be judged as unreasonable wherever it is said. Especially since the hairpin was broken yesterday, why didn't you say you came over immediately to apologize? Why didn't you mention it when you asked me this morning?

Why don't you avoid Concubine Shu and come here alone?

Although the relationship between the Queen and Concubine Shu was not good, they were both high-ranking concubines in the palace, and the status gap between them and Yun Fenghuang was huge. At least both the Queen and Concubine Shu believed that Yun Fenghuang was not on the same level as them. I have no interest in being used as a knife by a low-level concubine.

"Actually, I'm not just apologizing for the hairpin." Yun Fenghuang lowered his head and said in a very docile manner, "I'm also apologizing for... deceiving the Empress Dowager, the three empresses, Your Majesty, and the empress for the sake of me! "

These words made the queen startled. How could Chenggui commit such a big thing? ? ?

They were confused, and Queen Ji was also a little surprised: "Tell me what's going on."

Yun Fenghuang then resorted to pouring beans out of bamboo tubes about his life experience. When Xie Fenghuan Hongxing came out of the wall, she was beaten by her husband's family and sent back to the Xie family to ask for an explanation. In order to prove the family tradition, Xie family soaked Xie Fenghuan in a pig cage in public. He said that he also ordered family members of the clan to come and watch as a warning... This matter was a big deal in the local area. It can be said that everyone knows about it. Even if it has been two years now, anyone who goes to inquire will definitely hide it. Can't live.

Maybe someone is even on the way there...

Instead of waiting for others to expose him and then being accused of deceiving the emperor, he might as well confess on his own initiative.

Yun Fenghuang cried to Empress Ji with a look of "I am honest, well-behaved and have no ambitions": "...Since my sister's accident, sisters of similar age in the family have either been sent to family temples or have been randomly married away. Please calm down the discussion as soon as possible. Because I was favored by my parents in my early years, my aunt took me to the imperial capital because I was young and innocent. I originally thought that when I got older, I would be kind but not rich. After a family has children, if they continue to interact with their parents’ family, the past things will be over.”

"Who knew...who knew..." she choked for a while before continuing, "who knew that I suddenly became the daughter of my aunt and uncle. Not only did I change my surname to Yun, but I was also hired into the palace!"

Queen Ji let out a sigh and said softly: "Is there such a thing? Duke Yi Guo's Palace went too far. It really wronged you!"

"Your Majesty, I have a humble body and the appearance of a willow tree." Yun Fenghuang refused to let go. Hearing the words, he hurriedly said, "Being able to serve your Majesty and be able to look up to your Majesty's phoenix face is a blessing that has been cultivated for three lifetimes. It's just my body. I dare not hide the mistakes my concubine has made, so I ask the empress to deal with them!"

The queen leaned on the phoenix couch, supported her forehead with one hand, smiled with unknown meaning, and said: "Such a thing happened in your family. You came all the way to the Imperial Capital to visit your relatives. Your relatives are just clan members of Duke Yi, and they are dependent on Duke Yi." Live your life... Duke Yi and his daughter want you to be the daughter of the Yun family, so how can you, a child, have no room to say no? I understand this difficulty and there is nothing to deal with. "

Yun Fenghuang said cautiously: "Empress... what about the future of this concubine?"

"I know this. Duke Yi has gone too far. However, Duke Yi has made great contributions to the country, and Concubine Shu has served His Majesty for many years. She has worked hard even without credit." Empress Ji said kindly, "You For my sake, don’t argue with them... How about I give you another promotion as compensation?"

"Your Majesty, I'm scared!" Yun Fenghuang said quickly, "Although I can't help myself, I concealed my life experience and entered the palace. Your Majesty doesn't punish me. I'm already extremely grateful, let alone what kind of compensation can I get?"

Empress Ji chuckled: "Although there is a huge gap in status between you and Concubine Shu, after all, we are both serving His Majesty. I don't want the harmony between the concubines in the palace to be damaged, but I don't want to wrong you too much."

Yun Fenghuang immediately had tears in his eyes and said with emotion: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty loves me so much, I... I am so broken that I can't even repay you!"

She expressed her loyalty sincerely, and then left Shi Shiran with the reward given by the queen.

After leaving Yanfu Palace, it was estimated that the palace people at the door could no longer see it. Nianxuan's legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees: "Chenggui, you... if you do this, what if Concubine Shu still has Yun Meiren?" Do you know what to do?!”

"Concubine Shu will know if she knows it." Yun Fenghuang said with an indifferent expression, "You should also know her attitude towards me. She is of little use in the first place and her hands are tied. It would be more comfortable for me to tear her apart as soon as possible. As for Qingman..."

Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Ever since the Yun family thrust me into this palace without even saying hello, do you think the relationship between her and me can still be the same as before?"

Unless she just accepts it and accepts it... However, Yun Fenghuang is really not this kind of person.

Besides, she is in such a dangerous situation now and has too much time to take care of herself. How can she have time to care about other things?

She does not have the noble sentiment to sacrifice herself for others!

"But the Queen has just been speaking to Concubine Shu and Duke Yi." Nianxuan said with a sad face, "Concubine Yue hated us to death, but now the Queen has no intention of helping us. Once Concubine Shu gets into trouble, You are a humble servant. If you die, you will die. You...you must not let anything happen to you!"

Yun Fenghuang glanced sideways at her and sneered: "Idiot! Who said the Queen has no intention of helping us? If she didn't have the intention, why would she offer to promote me to the throne?"

"Ah?" Nian Xuan was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "My maid understands! The Queen also said this morning that she would ask Concubine Shu to help with things. Is it because of Concubine Zheng's pregnancy?"

She just felt regretful, "How could this be such an unfortunate coincidence?"

If Concubine Zheng hadn't happened to be pregnant at this eye socket, Empress Ji would have to work with Concubine Yun Shu to deal with it... Maybe the empress would have been furious just now and ordered everyone to go to Tongxia Palace to summon Concubine Shu to confront her.

Yun Fenghuang chuckled and said, "It's because of this, but it's also because of the foreign dynasty."

When she asked Concubine Shu to move her out of Huzhu Palace, didn't Concubine Shu tell her and Yun Qingman sincerely that it was not easy for the Yun family's daughter in the palace? She remembers it very firmly.

In particular, the Duke of Yi Kingdom refused the marriage proposal of the Ji family, and also tried to propose that Emperor Chunjia should take charge of the government, which made the Ji family very angry... At that time, Yun Fenghuang thought, if this happened, he would bring the Yi Kingdom to the throne. What will happen if the government's handle is handed to Ji?

As for the impact of this on Emperor Chunjia, Yun Fenghuang didn't care.

Anyway, even if the emperor is in power, the ones who will benefit most are Empress Dowager Yuan, the deeply affectionate adoptive mother, and Concubine Yue, the childhood sweetheart. It is not her turn to take advantage of Yun Fenghuang. She who has even offended Concubine Yue to death will most likely be punished by Concubine Yue in all kinds of cruel ways.

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang hoped from the bottom of his heart that Emperor Chunjia would remain a puppet and it would be best not to become a master in his lifetime!

Even if Concubine Yue wanted to tear her apart, she could only watch with gritted teeth as she hugged the Queen's thigh and was quickly promoted to the rank, hahahahahahaha!

Yun Fenghuang returned to Huzhu Palace in a good mood. After a while, people around Emperor Chunjia came. They said that they had already come here once before, but they had no choice but to miss it. For this reason, they also went to Tongxia Palace. No one was found. I heard that Yun Chenggui had come back a long time ago. I was worried that I had gone astray on the road, so I changed the way to look for her. At this time, I finally got the message: "Your Majesty plans to go to Taiye Pond for a walk in the afternoon." As soon as I leave, I want to invite Chenggui to come with me."

"Thank you for your hard work, young father-in-law." Yun Fenghuangxin said, does this father-in-law Xiangji think he is stupid? Previously, the coquettish and infatuated person asked him to watch the apricot blossoms together, but he refused. He even asked him to walk around the Huzhu Palace but was rejected. Only one day later, he asked him to go to Taiye Pool?

Are you afraid that you are not going to let yourself go to Qingchi?

Sure enough, it was right to seek refuge with Empress Ji. If she didn't stop Emperor Dian Chunjia from taking charge, once he gained power, his beloved Concubine Yue would be the first to be fried!

She sneered secretly, but happily agreed with her face, saying that she would go there after dressing up.

As usual, Nianxuan was given a pair of silver collars to the messenger servant. Just as Nianxuan was about to step forward and open the makeup box, her master asked Xinqing to prepare the meal.

At this time, meal time was almost over. Yun Fenghuang didn't have his own small kitchen yet. During meal time, the palace maids went to the imperial dining room to get their meals. Before she came back with Nianxuan, Xinqing had already returned with food boxes, and Wen Yan was busy setting them up in the small flower hall.

Due to his low status, the lunch consisted of only two dishes, one soup and one pastry. The cooking was so-so, but it was already cold now, and the meat dishes had condensed grease, which was unappetizing to look at.

However, Yun Fenghuang was not picky, and before Xinqing asked if she wanted to find a way to heat it up, she picked up the bowl and served Feng Zhuan Yun - If Xie Fenghuan had been raised by a noble family before her accident, she might have been a bit pretentious, but After that, whether it was the bumpy journey to the Imperial Capital or the two years of being under the control of others under Xie's lap, all the squeamishness in her body had long since been wiped away.

At this age, there must be something wrong with her body. Otherwise, how could she lose her appetite when meal time comes?

After finishing the meal, he took the tea and rinsed his mouth. Yun Fenghuang then asked Nian Xuan to dress him up. He dressed up beautifully, looked at himself in the mirror and felt that he was truly stunning. He stood up and said, "Let's go!"

The little chamberlain who had sent the message earlier had already told her the approximate location, so Yun Fenghuang left Xi Xingxuan and went straight to Ningbi Hall.

Nianxuan hurriedly caught up and reminded her in a low voice: "Chenggui, if we go through the side door over there, we can save a lot of walking."

"I know." Yun Fenghuang nodded and whispered, "Let's go around the main hall."

Nianxuan's scalp felt numb, and she felt that her Chenggui was probably going to cause trouble again: "Chenggui, Concubine Yue is still in confinement at the moment. You won't be able to see her after you go!" So please, just do it! Go to the emperor's appointment honestly and stop thinking about stimulating Concubine Yue, okay?

She didn't feel sorry for Yuan Yuniang, but mainly felt that the head of Huzhu Palace was not the kind of person who was good at forbearance.

Judging from the actions of her family Chenggui during this period, it is estimated that the hatred level has been reduced long ago... If she continues to add fuel to the fire, what if Concubine Yue loses her mind in anger and directly fights Yun Fenghuang?

Even though the Ningbi Palace had just been cleaned up by the queen, Concubine Yue was still a serious concubine and the master of the Huzhu Palace. She had no pressure to order a few stronger and stronger housemaids to beat them to death. ah!

"It's okay, I don't want to see her either." Yun Fenghuang comforted casually, "I just wanted to see the palace people outside Ningbi Palace."

Nianxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was just like teasing Qingdie last time. She couldn't trouble Concubine Yue, so she took out her anger on the people under Concubine Yue.

Although doing this is a bit suicidal, it is safer than directly provoking Concubine Yue... right?
