Chapter 214 Your Highness's Raiders of the Stepchildren

Yun Feng Huang's misgivings are also raised at this moment in Luqin Terrace, your consort's close attendant Luo Yi steeped a warm red date tea, slightly frowning, "Will this be too much of a coincidence? Empress Dowager Ci Mu has always been shrewd, and His Majesty is also brilliant, I'm afraid that he will become suspicious."

"It is because of the coincidental collision of the mother empress dowager and his majesty on the marriage of princess jinyun disagrees, everyone will believe that this is Ji's doing." Zheng Guifei took a sip of tea, said faintly, "after all, last night, his majesty said to mao zhaoyi, his highness the princess of jinyun with ji's that child's marriage is a rumor it! If nothing unexpected happens in the palace next, attracting away the attention, that would be called odd!"

Smiled again, "And ... from the former Shufei miscarriage, Yue Jieyu miscarriage, and even this palace not long ago, you think that the Empress Dowager Cimu or His Majesty, did not suspect the last out of the socalled truth, in the end is not the truth? This time is also almost the same ah."

"It's just that once upon a time it was in the way of Ji's power that she couldn't be bothered to look deeper, and this time, it's just what the Empress Dowager, the mother of mercy, and His Majesty had in mind, and didn't intend to look deeper."

"Anyway, that mother and daughter have nothing good to say about Ji, pouring dirty water on Ji's head, they are happy to see it, it's good if they don't help add fuel to the fire, how can they take the initiative to clear Ji's name of wrongdoing?"

"It's a pity that neither His Majesty nor the Empress Dowager of Mercy can really turn their backs on the Ji Clan nowadays." Only then did Luo Yi breathe a sigh of relief, but also some indignation, "I don't know when we will be able to get back the blood debt of our little prince!"

Zheng Guifei heard the eyes slightly dark, then recovered as usual, calmly said, "on the palace today's situation, the child even if born, I am afraid that every moment is also to be worried ... ultimately this mother consort of the Palace is incompetent, can not protect him."

She lowered her eyes, cover the bottom of her heart, sighed, "Moreover, this thing is not Ji's do is not known. This palace just think, to uncle in the palace connections, can hide us, counted the child of this palace, but let this palace so far confused, in addition to Ji's also can not find other people. But the world is so big, there are always some people and things that we never know. Perhaps, the culprit is not actually Ji, but has been overlooked by the Palace?"

"Is it possible that it's that Mao Zhao Yi?" Luo Yi couldn't help but say, "The maidservant sees that Mao Zhao Yi is quite annoying. Niangniang did not say anything, she staggeringly questioned Niangniang! She doesn't want to think that if it wasn't for the Queen, she ..."

The latter words related to the death of Shufei, even if at this moment in the room only master and servant two people, she is still cautious did not say out, only cold snort, "over the river to tear down the bridge thing, the Queen simply white to lift her a!"

"You have always been smart, why are you confused even today?" Noble Consort is not angry, a peaceful smile, said, "Mao Zhaoyi is intentionally do that, she may not be suspected of this Palace to harm her, but you think, this Palace these days sitting in a small month, Zhao Cheng boudoir there are not how to take care of personally, who knows will not be someone will be hand in, borrowed the Palace's turf, to plant her? She has this vigilance is very good, otherwise, in this palace can not go later, is not a waste of the Palace's original intention?"

In the final analysis Yun Feng Huang's origin so that Zheng Guifei can not give birth to hostility to this is if the Empress and Shufei this difficult and vigilant, Guifei certainly will not be so easy.

But Yunfeng Huang it, Xie's lintel put there, Zheng Guifei think, this ally smart point good.

After all, the family history is already not good, the person is not smarter, what qualification to let her hall noble consort to fold the section under the friendship, take the initiative to show goodwill?

It won't come in handy when the time comes!

Anyway, this Zhaoyi's mother's family couldn't do it, and it couldn't threaten your consort's intentions left and right.

Well, your consort's intention is the back seat.

From the beginning of the Emperor's progovernment, although Empress Ji is still in the middle of the Palace, but the front and back of the Palace are all in the heart of the matter: when the Emperor's position is completely stabilized, Empress Ji is either dead or abolished, basically no accidents.

When Zheng Fengjian's case was first brought, the reason why Zheng's attitude was tame and she behaved cooperatively was actually because she wanted to wait for Ji's downfall and push Guifei to be the successor so they had to not let the Emperor hate Zheng.

For this reason originally in the palace is not really pinpointed to be strong Zheng Guifei, the next more and more to be virtuous and virtuous.

After all, Emperor Chunjia hadn't had much affection for the Noble Consort in the first place, and if this Noble Consort were to make him look bad again, then Zheng's hopes of producing an Empress Zheng would basically be impossible.

"It is fortunate that this palace has aligned itself with Mao Zhaoyi in advance." Noble Consort heart faintly thought, "This Zhaoyi in the end young, sex . Zi impulsive dare to do ... what to eradicate in the future, this palace started the head, lead her into the field, the next will give her to knock on the side of the good."

This way she pits people she doesn't like, but still maintains the image of a demure and virtuous woman who doesn't cause trouble, and it couldn't be better.

Thinking of this, Noble Consort instructed Luo Yi, "This Palace's alliance with Mao Zhao Yi must not be spread!"

Luo Yi quickly nodded, "Your Highness, don't worry, although the servant girl feels that Mao Zhao Yi's approach today is excessive, she is not unaware of the importance of the situation."

"How can you be so insensitive?" At the same time, in the Fresh Branch Pavilion, Empress Dowager Ji's face was gloomy, and she was scolding the Empress, "I asked you to find something to cover up the rumors about Jinyun and Minggan, how could you do it to Zhao's bitchy servant girl at this time? This is good, no need to investigate, Yuan and the emperor will suspect our family! You're not causing trouble for the family!"

Empress Ji had a bitter smile and helplessness on her face, "Mother, this matter ... has nothing to do with daughter in law."

"Never mind?" Empress Dowager Ji was stunned.

Just as the Empress weighed her words, she said, "My daughterinlaw came over at this moment, and wanted to ask the Empress Mother if the people whom the Empress had arranged to be at Deer Scuttle Terrace had acted rashly on their own initiative!"

Empress Dowager Ji shook her head, "Impossible! Zheng tool that eunuch palace origin, your consort into the palace on the surface only brought some dowry, private smoke orchid palace how many people are Zheng tool to the ... which even this side of the palace, I'm not good to intervene more. But left two eyes and ears in the head of the occasional transmission of the next message, they simply can not contact to that Zhao's anabolic medicine to add something to the errand, that is, want to fool around, but also no opportunity!"

"Then perhaps we've been counted!" Empress Ji frowned and said, "Do you still remember that before we took our summer vacation, my daughterinlaw told you privately that Zhao Chengyou was not the only one pregnant in Yu Zhen Palace? In fact, not only Yu Zhen Palace, there is also Yijia Palace's Hu Fengyi, also suspected to be pregnant. Just Yi Jia Palace main Wei Jieyu into the palace has not long, the age is still young, that Hu and for a variety of reasons willfully conceal, which has not been found ...."

Before the Empress Dowager Ji asked her to get something out to divert everyone's discussion about Princess Jinyun's marriage, she thought of spreading the news that the two concubines were pregnant.

One was to diverge from the topic; the other was to show the results of Empress Dowager Ji's special trip to Shan Yuan Guan to pray for blessings and ease the relationship between Ji and the Emperor.

As it turned out, she was only planning to arrange for someone to come and announce the joy this morning, but last night Deer Baicalin Terrace made a mistake ahead of her.

Now the palace up and down are rumored, the emperor's beloved wing of the State Duke, but also for this to the palace door to see, righteously put forward the safety of the heir can not be neglected, do not care about the birth mother of how humble, the pro father is the emperor that must be gold and jade, and then so again and again ambiguous, the emperor in the end do not want a child heir?

Does the Gong Xiang Clan still want to inherit the throne!

Is there anyone left to take responsibility for the safety and security of the people of the country?

Just by listening to this series of three questions, one could tell how agitated this important minister of three dynasties was today. He took a stand like this, no matter how others think, it is impossible to be indifferent. Just when the queen over, received the news, Zheng Gui Cui Wan regent and others, are one after another handed the table book, said that can not let go of this plot to kill the heir of the people, no matter who, no matter what kind of merit, no matter ... anyway, this time absolutely can not be left unsettled again!

These guys led the way with this comment, imagine what kind of bloodshed will follow ...

The sad thing is that this fishy storm will come towards Ji if there is no accident ...

Empress Ji mused, "According to the saying, after Zheng's miscarriage, even if she is not considered warm to Zhao Chengguang, she should not risk the heir in Zhao Chengguang's womb ... After all, her Smoky Orchid Palace His Majesty has always been less to go to, and there is no palace concubines to gestate, and if Zhao Chengguang's this child has a long or a short life, there will not be a second copy of a similar compensation! "

Because Zheng Guifei before but because did not take good care of Zhao Chenghou was named by Empress Dowager Yuan, at that time is also in her miscarriage on the part of not long ago, did not take into account. But to Zhao Chenghou failed to give birth to the next not to give her pregnant concubines, and even smoke orchid palace concubines pregnant also removed, are rightfully so.

"Then what if Zhao Chengbou's pregnancy is not good?" Empress Dowager Ji raised an eyebrow and hummed, "Zheng was even willing to take her own pregnancy and plant it on Concubine Shufei or else with her carefulness, how could she have collided with Concubine Shufei how could she not be willing to give up on Zhao Chengwu? "

"... Also." Empress Ji thought about it, said, "In fact, Mao Zhao Yi is also very suspicious, although she first said that she suspected that the noble consort wanted to plant her, but this consort's character is quite bad, thieves shouting to catch thieves to hit a rake thing may not not be able to do it. Just her actually into the palace not long, the hand is not necessarily able to reach the side of the noble consort to go."

Empress Dowager Ji said, ''But she is Shufei's clan sister, never mind whether Shufei really regards her as her sister or not, Shufei's own sister is under her hands. Do you think she will let go of those layouts that Shufei made during her lifetime? Furthermore, when I was at Shan Yuan Guan before, I heard that her birth mother, Jiang, met with Duke of Yiguo at Le Chun Hall two days ago and had a good conversation."

She slightly related, ''Yun Zhao that old fool! I don't know what His Majesty Emperor Shenzong has put in his head, but all he can think about is bowing and scraping for Emperor Xiaozong, and dying for the Emperor.... When Yuan Neimiang's fool murdered Shufei, he was able to act as if nothing had happened, and now there's no evidence to say that his first daughter was forced to die by Mao Zhaoyi, so naturally he can continue to pretend to be in a state of confusion... ...and even continue to support Mao Zhao Yi, it is not impossible."

"In the end, Mao Zhaoyi's mother's family has very deep roots in the north, and the King Regent, after all, is not a heart which!"

Of course, in the opinion of aunt and nephew, the suspects are definitely more than these two: Cui was deposed only before, who knows that this period of silence is not messing things up? Lady Yao Ning's back is against the Regent, on the status of the Harem is currently the third ranked consort, once the Deer Scuttle Terrace matter is finalized the initiator is Ji, then the former Regent pushed a hand, it is not unlikely to be the Empress Ji was abolished, Zheng Guifei take the blame for the confinement of the lady, Lady Yao Ning jumped to become the new queen?

In addition the suspect that worried them the most was Emperor Chunjia.

Yes, the Emperor is the biological father of the heir in Zhao Chengbao's womb, but so what?

The world certainly has a willingness to sacrifice his life for his children's father, there are also think that the child is no longer can regenerate the parents. The emperor hair ascending to the throne, since the trembling, this year is only twentythree, far from looking forward to the child eager years, how can he expect him to hall son of heaven, the child will be seen as more important than his own life?

Furthermore, there is still one in his Qingmei's belly, and there is also a Yuwan in the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion who is pregnant, so compared to that, what is Zhao Chengwu's pregnancy?

When Zheng Guifei miscarried, the emperor did not see much heartache.

If giving up a child that was still a fetus could be exchanged for political gain or initiative, Ji's aunt and nephew believed that the emperor would not hesitate at all!

"... In short, next, we all cautious." Finally Empress Dowager Ji was silent for a long time, said in a low voice, "The Emperor holds a very deep grudge against our Ji Clan, as can be seen from the Jinyun matter, he is now refusing to even give face on the surface."

Empress Ji bowed her head and said yes.

I heard the Empress Dowager say, "By the way, isn't the Emperor planning to start the Enlai Science Examination next year in order to celebrate Yuan's birthday? From now on, keep an eye on those outstanding scholars, who are both talented and goodlooking, of good character, with a simple family and a good family reputation. As for family history, it doesn't have to be too prominent."

"Mother is trying to?"

The Empress Dowager was silent, but still told her, "Minghui is also old enough, it's time to look for an extra horse harnessed by the side of a team."

Empress Ji was slightly stunned, "But ... the family lineage is not too illustrious, will it be too much of an injustice to Minghui?"

Although Princess Minghui's looks are hard to describe, the identity of the only fullblooded heir of Emperor Xiaozong predetermined that her marriage should be the best among all the daughters of the dynasty.

Not too distinguished birth of the new scholar with Jinyun Penglai Kunze also just, with Ming Hui words, this is not the birth mother of the Empress Dowager Ji said personally, any who want to think that treating Princess Ming Hui!

Empress Ji is aware of their motherinlaw and aunt will be Princess Minghui look how important, once upon a time Ji's power over the countryside when certainly no dust, feel that no one in the whole world is worthy of their daughter; now Ji's decline, but the Princess Minghui is not the name of the Ji, the person's name is Gongxiang.

The rise of the emperor also means that the princess's backing is more and more solid ... The Empress Dowager Ji simply does not have to do the lowly to lower the standard of the extra horse harnessed by the side of a team to Princess Minghui just for the sake of the emperor sweeping her face in the marriage of Princess Jinyun.

Because letting Emperor Chunjia make the decision, he definitely also needs to find a perfect husband for Princess Minghui, lest he be poked and prodded to say that he inherited Emperor Xiaozong's throne, yet he can't even tolerate someone's only first daughter.

With the Empress's understanding of Chunjia, this person is accustomed to perfunctory scenes, absolutely not for a princess's marriage, destroying their own good reputation built up over the years.

"Do as Mourner said." But Empress Dowager Ji just sighed deeply, slightly tired, "Mourning is Minghui's birth mother, it's hard to think that I would still harm her!!!"
