Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Originally, Yun Fenghuang had certain expectations for the Empress Dowager's promise to have a face-to-face conversation for two days.

But the death of Qian's mother and daughter made her angry and vigilant.

After all, although the death of the Taoist and disciple of Shanyuanguan was two lives, in fact, no matter whether it was in the palace or in the temple, it did not cause any disturbance.

In other words, no one cares at all.

Many people don't even know this.

Because in the Chunjia Dynasty, although the relationship between Shanyuan Temple and the royal family was not completely severed, it can be said that it fell out of favor early in the morning.

In this case, a Taoist temple with a prominent past would not have been watched by all quarters.

At most people who are related, or people like Yun Fenghuang, will pay attention to their every move.

So the empress dowager is kind, even if she just doesn't want to turn her face, it's nothing more than the little Taoist aunt and apprentice, but what else does she want to kill the mother and daughter of the Qian family?

The purpose of Qian's mother and daughter is clear from beginning to end, that is, they want to leave the Taoist temple and return to the mansion as soon as possible, lest their husbands or fathers are hooked by the beautiful palace maidservants bestowed by the imperial court and affect their future lives.

Yun Fenghuang didn't think they would hide their income from their own people.

So what Qian's mother and daughter knew, they had already told Yun Fenghuang.

So why do you want to kill the mother and daughter of the Qian family? Are you afraid that they will confront each other? Or is it the secret that Yun Fenghuang's master and servant have not been able to discover so far, so important that they can't leave the slightest clue?

Either way, Yun Fenghuang now has no hope for the next interview with the Empress Dowager.

But she didn't plan to give up either.

"The empress dowager has been indifferent to the second prince and the third prince over the years, and has never cared about it." Yun Fenghuang muttered, "starting with these two princes to threaten her, I am afraid it is useless, and one is not good. Tell your majesty to know, there is no suspicion..."

After all, she is a "kind mother" who treats all emperor heirs kindly.

How can you do things that threaten the elders with the prince?

"Besides, it seems that the name behind Ji can make a fuss... However, when His Majesty did it personally, the Empress Dowager did not act fiercely."

The imperial concubine feels troublesome. It seems that there is nothing that can threaten the empress dowager.

This is difficult to talk about.

Although the empress dowager shouldn't have anything to do with her, but if you draw a tie, you lose!

"If the death of Taoist Taoist Shanyuanguan and the death of Qian's mother and daughter were all done by the Empress Dowager, then there must be something fatal to the Empress Dowager in the news they reported to..." Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and thought that he should try to figure out the news carefully, "What is the point? What is the handle?"

She is still too young and of a low birth.

Only when he entered the palace at the age of fifteen did he start contacting the court. At that time, Chunjia had been in the throne for eight years.

Not to mention Sejong's time, it was Shenzong Xiaozong, and for her, it was very far away.

So much so that among the elderly who served her, the oldest one...Wait!

Yun Fenghuang suddenly thought that after he entered the palace, he would first seek refuge in Ji Lingzi after Yuan Dynasty. As a result, his position would be continuously promoted, and the number of people he would serve began to increase.

but……

There are no elderly people in the service.

You know, the Empress Dowager came from the time of Sejong, the palace is so big, no matter how withered the people in the time of Sejong, it is impossible to say that there are only three or two...but Yun Fenghuang is the oldest one, that is, Xiaozong. I came here at that time, and Xiaozong was still a rude messenger when he was still in a humble status.

Was this a coincidence, or was he guarded at that moment?

But her position and qualifications at the time were also worthy of the calculation of those who were qualified to arrange servants for her? The servants at the time were nominally arranged by the Queen of the Yuan Dynasty, but Ji Lingzi's identity could not be personally interrogated by everyone. Just tell me how much sand should be mixed in.

The specific operation should be in front of Yuanhou.

Only after Ji Lingzi left the palace, these people were scattered, and there was no news.

"Come here." Yun Fenghuang commanded, "Go and check the people in the palace in the Yuan Dynasty. Are there still people alive today? If so, where are they? I can bring my thoughts over and talk to the palace."

Although I know that I have been looking for it after many years, most of it is hopeless, but maybe there is a fish that slips through the net?

Yun Fenghuang thought, and said, "There are also Ji Muzi's close attendants, and some old people who have served Ji clan in the past...especially those from Sejong's time. They managed to find out."

She has also been considered deep-rooted and lush in the palace these years, and naturally no one dares to disobey.

The next day, I found some people to talk back and forth, but those who had served the Empress Yuan, Ji Muzi, and the commoner Ji Sheng, but there was no trace.

The servants who were in the palace at the time of Sejong came here, and they were probably not high-status...The high-status estimated that the palace had been turbulent over the past few years, and they had long been implicated in the court and had no good end.

After all, when Sejong was leaning toward Sejong and his favored heirs, Shenzong would not be merciless after he became king.

Those who were favored during Shenzong’s time, Xiaozong had to change into his own people after he became king, and then Xiaozong fought for power and was defeated by Ji, so those who have supported Xiaozong will not be merciless, and those who stayed by Shenzong did not say that they did not support the old master. The son's is also a thorn in Ji's eyes.

When the Ji family fell, Chunjia was in control, and it was thoroughly cleaned...

Yun Fenghuang regrets in her heart that she is still born too low. After entering the palace to be favored, she has to worry about everything. At that time, there are so many imminent things waiting, it is impossible to cover everything.

I even neglected the clues in this regard.

At this moment, I can only suppress my depression and ask questions one by one.

Because they don't know the key points, they can only tell them what they knew about Sejong, Shenzong, and even Xiaozong in detail, and find clues for themselves.

The imperial concubine himself didn't have the time to deal with these many people, so after asking some questions, he asked Qingren and others to take the responsibility of recording the confession, and he waited for everyone to finish and read the record.

"Niangniang, there is something very strange." When he was holding the lantern, Chi E took a stack of rice paper into the house to search for the clouds and wind, and said, "A lot of old people said that the Emperor Shenzong was not favored by Sejong when he was young, and was among the royal brothers. It was also very silent. So after Yi's age was reached, because the third successor happened to pass away not long after that, and the fourth successor had not yet entered the palace, the court concubines fought endlessly for the latter position, and no one thought about it. Shenzong’s marriage... Therefore, when Shenzong was in the domain, he went alone. It was not until Queen Qu was registered as his successor, and Shenzong and several other princes and princes who had delayed their lifelong events because of their unwillingness to marry the Queen Mother. ."

At this time, Dan E was serving at the side, and he was surprised when he heard the words: "What's so strange about this? Who of us didn't know that the first emperor of Shenzong was not favored when he was the prince?"

Chi Ebai glanced at her, handing the rice paper full of words to Yun Fenghuang, and said: "But the Ji family is a famous family since Dingding. The queen mother, as the main daughter, was in the palace when she was not out of the pavilion. Among the noble women, the status is not worse than that of the current Gu Jue, Ke Chaoruo, Meng Posu, and Luo Di! You said that such an outstanding girl has the turn of a prince who is not favored like the first emperor of Shenzong?"

"Really?" Yun Fenghuang took the rice paper and hurriedly looked through it. Sure enough, the old people who came over during Sejong's time all said that Shenzong was able to marry the empress dowager, which made many people very surprised.

In this situation, it is like the second, third, and sixth emperor heirs have married one of Ke Chaoruo, Meng Posu, and Luo Di.

Gu Jue is hard to compare, not only the decline of the Gu family, but also because Gu Jue, as the daughter of the descendants, has a natural affinity with the emperor's heirs, and maybe there is also the fate of the childhood sweethearts in private.

However, Ji did not have a daughter to enter the palace when he was in Sejong. In other words, the Empress Dowager did not have the possibility of being in love with Shenzong before the marriage.

"Niang, one more point." Chi E whispered, "I just don't know if it's true or not... An old slave said that he was in charge of cleaning at the Lenggong, oh, he is also... so the one who had fallen from Sejong's old age The concubine learned from her mouth that Queen Qu and the Queen Mother were actually relatives who turned around. One of Queen Qu’s sister-in-law was Ji’s daughter. It’s just that Queen Qu and Queen Mother had no friendship before they married into the royal family. After the Queen Mother was married, she became very close with Emperor Qu. There was even a period of time when one party got rare food, and they would send it to the other party... So after Emperor Shenzong ascended the throne, the Qu family used to slaughter relatives and relatives of the sect. I begged to be in front of the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager ignored it."

"In the end, the Ji family's daughter who was married into the Qu family was picked up, and her children were ignored."

"The Ji's daughter is the cousin of the Empress Dowager. She said she was hanging on her own after not long after she went back..."

Yun Fenghuang groaned.

"Is there any hidden illness with the Queen Dowager?" Dan E guessed, "Otherwise, it's impossible for a noble girl with this status to grant it to an ordinary prince?"

Yun Fenghuang said: "No, if the family loves her daughter and doesn't want to get involved in the right and wrong, Xu will look at the prince who has no future and no ambitions, and it is not bad to be a princess. It is just the case of the Ji family. For what Ye Guogong and others understand, the family style may not be the one that loves his daughter. But if there is any hidden illness with the Queen Mother...I haven't heard of it in these years?"

For ladies at the level of the Empress Dowager, common diseases are actually trivial matters.

The deadliest are nothing more than heirs.

But the Empress Dowager herself is indeed not rich in heirs. The problem is that Shenzong also has other concubines, and the Sangong and Six Courtyards have only given birth to two sons for him.

Looking at their two sons, Xiaozong and the regent, the same heirs are not abundant... It would be impossible to say that the pot came from the Queen Mother.

Therefore, Ding Buxing, a member of the Shenzong line, estimated that the source was still Shenzong.

It may be that there is a problem with his body, or it may be that he is really in retribution.

In addition to the offspring, what other hidden problems allow Ji to agree to "cheap" the noble daughter carefully cultivated to Shenzong?

"It's also possible that it was Ji who saw Shenzong's potential." The imperial concubine thought for a moment and said slowly, "After all, Shenzong was in a bad situation at the time, but he was able to win the reserve in the end, showing his qualifications."

If you bet, it is not surprising to give up a famous lady.

As for the fact that Shenzong was in such a bad situation that the marriage was unattended, and the new stepmother had to perform the duties of an aunt to get married. In this case, how was Ji's admiration...That’s not the old people who have survived by chance. I got it.

Chi E looked at her thinking for a long time, raised her head to signal to continue speaking, and then said: "Also, Shenzong and the Tai Empress Dowager have always been in harmony, and there has been almost no quarrel. Shenzong is also very fond of Emperor Xiaozong. It can be said that he is obedient to each other. Plus. Although I want to be cold to the Regent, I love it overall. I often personally talk about food, daily life, and schoolwork."

Generally speaking, in the eyes of the people of the old palace, the royal family during the Shenzong period, although the people were artificial, the atmosphere was actually very good.

The emperor is harmonious, the harem is fine, the father is kind and the son is filial... it is warmer than the home of ordinary people.

Until the arrival of Princess Ji Sheng.

An old palace person said something that surprised the master and servant of the noble concubine: "She said that she had heard the wind and didn't know whether it was true or not: The empress dowager doesn't really like Ji Sheng, the concubine."

"How is this possible?" Dan E couldn't help saying, "They are aunts and nephews! And when the concubine Ji Sheng had an accident, the empress dowager looked like she didn't like this niece?"

Yun Fenghuang asked: "Do you know who was passing the news at the beginning, can there be specific deeds to prove it?"
