Chapter 60: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net

Yun Fenghuang was stunned, and before he could open his mouth to remind the guards, the figure behind the flower tree moved, but the other party had already taken the initiative to come out, bowed, and said softly: "The son of the princess asks for peace to the concubine." ”

“…… It's you. Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and looked at it, because the place where the man was standing was relatively far away, and the palace lamp had limited illumination, only a vague outline was seen.

She recognized it after some recognition, and said slowly, "The second prince is being argued?" Today is the King of Qin's gaffe, bothering you. Bengong had already rebuked him just now, and let him set up a banquet for your brothers. ”

The second prince lowered his head, maintained a respectful posture, and said softly: "Your concubine is serious. Erchen heard the movement of the eldest brother for a while, and he was worried, so he took the liberty to come to take a look, but he didn't expect the concubine to come in person, and he knew that this was the case, so Erchen didn't bother. ”

Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "Where is it?" You are concerned about King Qin, and the palace is happy in his heart, after all, you are all brothers......"

After saying some scenes, seeing that the second prince proposed to retire, it was approved.

On the way back to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, Yun Fenghuang pondered for a moment and asked, "What has the second prince been doing these days?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the second prince has been with Concubine Shuniang these days." Chen Jing whispered, "I didn't hear anything else. ”

He also said, "Some of the people that the second prince made friends with in front of him are not special. ”

Yun Fenghuan said lightly: "Is he usually so enthusiastic? ”

Seeing that Chen Jing was stunned, he patiently mentioned, "King Qin is favored when he is young, although he is the eldest brother, he is still protective of his younger brothers who grew up in Xuanqing Palace, and he has always been harsh on his younger brothers who were not raised by the palace himself. Just now he made such a big fuss, the second prince is close, not to mention the details, there should always be a number of good and bad things? The subordinates who have served King Qin for many years dare not come up, he is an honest child who usually looks at him, where did he get the courage to go over to visit alone at night? Aren't you afraid that King Qin will know about it and use him as a punching bag? ”

Over the years, the second prince's reputation in the palace ban has been low-key and honest, but no matter how low-key and honest he is...... In such a situation tonight, can you still avoid it a little bit, and rush to touch the moldy head?

Chen Jing's forehead instantly saw sweat, and he said in a low voice: "It's the slave who was negligent." ”

"This palace comes from a humble background, and in the past, in the countryside, although I could also call slaves and maids, I had also heard a lot of things in the streets." Yun Fenghuang leaned on the chariot and said lightly, "Ordinary people, three thatched houses, a few acres of thin fields, and brothers are fighting each other, so that people are killed." Not to mention the big position? This man was born to want to go to high places. Bengong thinks, the heirs under Bengong's knees think, and other people, don't you think about it? How can it be? When the palace just entered the palace, what position and identity was it? is still looking forward to it, and today's six palaces seem to be tame and sensible. But what is going on in my heart, who knows? ”

"Throughout the ages, those who dare to retreat bravely from the rapids can be praised."

"Why is that?"

"Isn't it because there are very few people who can do it?"

"It's easy to do...... It's not worth everyone's praise. ”

Chen Jing said in a low voice, and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, not only the second prince, but also several other princes, the slaves and maids must be watched, and there will never be similar things again." ”

After a pause, he felt a little puzzled, "It's just...... The second prince hid outside the house of His Royal Highness King Qin this big night, what did he want to do? ”

"It can't be a plot to kill His Royal Highness King Qin?"

"Even if the second prince hides his secrets, our Highness himself has been skilled in bowing and horses since childhood. In addition, although the people who served were driven out, they did not dare to go far, and they all gathered outside...... Does the second prince still expect to rely on him alone to poison our Highness? ”

"Could it be that you are eavesdropping on what our Highness is doing so that you can spread the word?"

"However, why should the second prince do such a thing himself?"

After all, if you send palace people to listen to the wall, once you are caught, there is still room to shake the pot.

did it personally, but Yun Fenghuang didn't care about it just now.

Otherwise, the crime of spying on the eldest brother will inevitably make the second prince walk around without eating.

"Who told you that he must have come out alone at night for the sake of King Qin?" Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "He just happened to be near King Qin's house, and he saw the traces in the palace, so he had to come out and perfunctory." ”

Chen Jing's heart jumped, and he subconsciously said: "I knew that the slave maid had to ask someone to follow......

"Do you think he's stupid?" Yun Fenghuan sneered, "He has already met with this palace, can he continue to take you to see his secrets?" I have to go back to my place of residence directly, and I am afraid that I will follow the rules in the next few days. ”

"Otherwise, it's been a few years, even if the palace's attention is not on him, I'll ask every once in a while, why haven't you ever taken him to heart?"

Chen Jing held the idea of what happened, and still ordered people to keep an eye on the second prince.

But in the next two days, sure enough, the second prince was honest, in addition to going to greet Concubine Shu in the morning and evening, he was reading and practicing calligraphy in his own residence, and occasionally went out to play and laugh with a few high-ranking disciples, and there was nothing suspicious in the whole process.

In the past two days, the Qian family and daughter got Yun Fenghuang's instructions and once again set up some news, confirming that there were still survivors of the old man of Shanyuanguan, and they would send the news back every few days to prove that they were alive, so as to deter the royal family and continue to treat Shanyuanguan well.

"That doesn't make sense." But Yun Fenghuang listened, but shook his head and said, "The people of Shanyuanguan have all been replaced a long time ago, even if there are survivors who are outcast, in the face of a Taoist temple that is occupied by a dove, where does such a sentiment come from, so that they will never forget, and seek benefits for these Taoist aunts who came from elsewhere later?" Besides, since they are so tightly hidden, the three generations of the Imperial City Division have not been able to find traces, it can be seen that the means of the city government are also extremely outstanding, can they not know the current Shanyuan view, but if they find clues, they will tell the royal family? In this case, those people who are full of food and support are asking for rewards for a group of people who are not related to them and occupy their Taoist temples and join forces with the royal family to find them?! ”

Chicalyx was stunned and said, "This ...... That little Dao Gu said this, could it be that her teacher noticed the clues and deliberately taught her to fool us? ”

"......" Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, and said slowly, "Actually, this palace still thinks that the strange thing is that the matter of the Divine Sect has long since passed in time, even if the old man in the Guanzhong at that time still holds some secrets, what is the use of putting it today?" ”

After all, now that Sejong, Shenzong, and Xiaozong have all died, the Empress Dowager is already old.

Even if someone stood up and said in a conclusive way that the Divine Sect had used many means and many tricks to ascend the throne...... And what's the use?

The people in the time of Sejong were all withered, and the courtiers above the temple had already changed several batches, and there may be people who had pity for Queen Qu and the imperial heirs at that time, but they must be a few.

In this case, the royal family can veto it in a dignified manner.

They are characterized as frame-ups.

Chicalyx whispered: "Niangniang, those past events, our majesty was not born at that time, so naturally it has nothing to do with it. But although the Divine Sect is gone, the Empress Dowager is still there! Shenzong ascended the throne to rely on the Ji family, which is only afraid that this will make the name of the Ji family worse? ”

Although Chunjia has sent someone to deface Ji's name, they are all accused of corruption and monopolity.

Compared with the murder of Sejong, the crime of committing a crime against the king is not the same in nature.

The remaining Empress Dowager of the Ji family, maybe for this, so compromised?

After all, over the years, many rewards have been the responsibility of the Empress Dowager, and it seems that they are also the Empress Dowager's private accounts, so if it weren't for the harvest of the second daughter of the Qian family, no one in the outside world would know.

"Are you stupid?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at his henchman and said lightly, "Your Majesty, this throne is passed down from Emperor Xiaozong, and the throne of Emperor Xiaozong is passed down from Emperor Shenzong...... Not to mention the matter of calculating Empress Qu, eighty percent of it was personally handled by the first emperor of Shenzong, even if it was done by the Ji family, with the relationship between the Ji family and the first emperor of Shenzong, can the first emperor of Shenzong be innocent? ”

"How could Your Majesty allow others to attack the First Emperor of the Divine Sect!"

This is to shake the legitimacy of Chunjia's succession from the perspective of etiquette.

It's no wonder that Chunjia can tolerate it.

"But it still doesn't make sense." Yun Fenghuang groaned and said, "If this is the case, these fish that have slipped through the net are not only what the Empress Dowager needs to worry about, but also what Your Majesty needs to worry about. However, the Empress Dowager never mentioned it to Her Majesty? He also personally bears the expenses...... Even if these expenses are not pressure on the Queen Mother, is the Queen Mother such a kind person? You can let Your Majesty share it, but you took it all yourself? Isn't this my own grandmother? ”

She shook her head, "Don't pursue these past events anymore, they have nothing to do with us, and I'm afraid they won't be of much use...... Let's talk about these two years. What is the relationship between Shuren Ji Sheng and Taoism? ”

Although Shuren Ji Sheng has a very noble reason for having a close relationship with Shanyuanguan, that is, to ask for a son, it seems to make sense, after all, Xiaozong is really a difficult heir.

However......

There are no other Taoist temples in Qishan.

Why did Ji Sheng go to such a Taoist temple that had some bad relationship with the royal family?

Especially the Queen Mother, don't you feel embarrassed?

Her husband has changed the Shanyuan view up and down!

Let the niece and daughter-in-law go to such a place and ask for a grandchild for herself???

Anyway, Yun Fenghuang took the position of the Empress Dowager, and felt that if she was the Empress Dowager, she would definitely let Ji Sheng change her Taoist temple.

Who knows if there will be a debt collector......

"The second daughter of the Qian family also asked." Chicao said, "That little Taoist aunt said that when Ji Sheng often went to the Taoist temple, she was not born yet, so she didn't know very well. I only heard a few words from the senior sisters and uncles in the Taoist temple, saying that after Ji Sheng went, he was actually not very religious, but he often saw some outsiders in private. ”

Seeing that Yun Fenghuang raised her eyebrows, her voice was lower, "The maid asked the messenger, and said that Ji Sheng saw all women, both old and young, three religions and nine streams, high-ranking noblewomen, jugglers, market women, and squire's relatives...... It seems that they are summoned at random, and the number of people is extremely large, and even sometimes, they see several groups a day, and even the meals are delayed. At that time, many of the Taoist sisters in the Taoist temple were very puzzled, but they didn't dare to say anything because of Ji Sheng's noble status. The Empress Dowager also blamed Ji Sheng several times for this, and the aunt and nephew seemed to have had a dispute in private...... Later, Ji Sheng relented a lot. ”

Yun Fenghuang groaned: "Are you sure they are all women? ”

Maybe someone is dressed as a man......

But this idea was quickly vetoed by Chicao: "At that time, there were people from the Empress Dowager in front of Ji Sheng, and if outsiders wanted to see Ji Sheng, they had to go through layers of inspections and even body searches. ”

Oh, that's fine.

No matter how much the Empress Dowager dotes on her niece and daughter-in-law, she will definitely not let her cuckold her son.

"It's supposed to be a cover-up." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "As far as Ji Sheng's identity at that time, even if he was interested in people from the three sects and nine ranks, he couldn't meet them even if he didn't have a good meal." Bengong speculated that Ji Sheng should want to contact someone, or someone she wanted to help her deliver the news. But with the eyes and ears of the Empress Dowager by her side, she is inconvenient, so she has to summon outsiders frequently, so that the Empress Dowager's people are overwhelmed and give her a chance to achieve her goals. ”

Then the problem arises again.

Why did Ji Sheng hide it from the Empress Dowager?

She and the Empress Dowager are both aunts and nephews and mothers-in-law, and judging from her lifetime, the Empress Dowager was also good to her.

If it was the fault of ordinary murder and arson to murder the emperor's heir, the empress dowager could only help her conceal her plea, and there was no possibility of not letting her go.

In a sense, the Empress Dowager is even more reliable to Ji Sheng than Xiaozong.

After all, Xiaozong may be empathetic and don't fall in love, and he may be angry with Ji Sheng because he can't fight the Ji family...... The Empress Dowager is Ji Sheng's staunchest backer.

"It seems that it is not enough to count on Shanyuanguan completely." Knowing that the old people of Shanyuanguan have been replaced, and the remnants are also missing, although they shocked the royal family, there was no trace, and the importance of Shanyuanguan in Yun Fenghuang's eyes suddenly dropped a lot, and she sighed lightly, "I have to take the initiative in this palace." ”
