Vol 5 Chapter 82: Empress Dowager

"Du Langu has already entered the palace to file a complaint!" In Woxialou, Gu Jue said to the queen calmly after listening to the little servant's report, "This lord never buys the imperial concubine's account. This time, he will definitely do well with the imperial concubine. My son’s contest. But if what I expected is good, your Majesty, believe it or not, will choose to make it happen, regardless of whether the imperial concubine murdered the mother and daughter of the Qian family."
Gu Zhen's face was pale, and he exclaimed: "This is your good idea?! Your Majesty has sent the Imperial City Division to conduct a thorough investigation. If you find out the clues, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Even if your Majesty finds out the clues, it is impossible to poke them out." Gu Jue said, "Aunt, you still don't know your Majesty enough...With the current prestige of your Majesty, the prince can decide in one word! There is no need to listen to the various things of the former harem. Arguments and disputes. And since your Majesty has not done this so far, it can be seen that your Majesty actually wants to establish a virtuous... And, with your majesty’s wiseness, can you not understand the benefits of establishing a majesty? So as long as the ten princes or the twelve princes show that they can suppress the brothers The imperial concubine is also unable to return to heaven!"
"Of course, neither the tenth prince nor the twelfth prince have this ability."
"At least not currently."
"Fortunately, the prince in front of the imperial concubine, in the final analysis, is not a smart master."
"The main reason why the ten princes are at a disadvantage now is that the aunt can't beat the imperial concubine."
Gu Jue said calmly that the queen is inferior to Yun Fenghuang, "Over the years, your majesty has valued all the princes of Xuanqing Palace, and the princes before the aunt, only ten princes and twelve princes have received a little attention from your majesty. When you think about it carefully, how many things the princes of Xuanqing Palace have done that make your Majesty look at them differently? Don’t mention those filial and sensible actions. Everyone knows that it must be the imperial concubine who taught privately and sent people to spread... It has nothing to do with their own talents."
"But what your majesty wants is the lord of the East Palace, the prince, and the future master of Wanli Heshan."
"Instead of a filial and obedient son who will have to cooperate."
"So before your Majesty is disappointed with the ten princes, the twelve princes, or all the princes in front of the aunt, he will never let his aunt happen. Otherwise, what will happen to the many princes in front of the aunt?"
"If this weren't the case, your Majesty wouldn't have been busy that day, so he would take the time to head to Zezhi Tower."
Gu Jue sneered, "The question that the imperial concubine asked that day, no one found the hairpin of Princess Zhaoqing... If it weren't for your majesty, you said, aunt, did no one find it?"
Gu Zhen said with a calm face, "You have said so much, what do you want to do?"
"My niece just wants to conform to the Holy Will." Gu Jue said calmly, "Your Majesty wants the most outstanding prince, not the kind of outstanding prince with a clever mother and concubine behind, but his own outstanding...If so, then Let's help your Majesty and give your Majesty a reason to prohibit the imperial concubine and aunt from mixing with the younger generation. After all, your majesty does not have an aunt in his heart, and does not care about the aunt's mood. But your majesty still cares about the imperial concubine, and for no reason, he will not let the imperial concubine give advice. Prince, how can the imperial concubine give up?"
"The biggest advantage of Xuanqing Palace is the imperial concubine, and the biggest advantage of Yanfu Palace is orthodoxy."
"If the aunt and the imperial concubine are forbidden to leave at the same time, in the final analysis, our side will win."
"..." Gu Zhen was silent for a while, then sneered for a while and said, "Are you sure your Majesty will follow your plan?"
Gu Jue confidently said: "Of course your Majesty will. Aunt, don't you understand? My niece just did what your Majesty hoped to happen. Therefore, even if your Majesty realized that someone arranged from it, he would not say it. At most, Just pack my niece in private."
She even made sure that Chunjia wouldn't kill her. "My niece is as old as the emperor heirs. Even if your majesty notices his niece, how can he put it down personally-the figure is to care about his niece? It must be left to the emperor heirs to sharpen her. It’s like the empress dowager and concubine Ji Sheng back then, don’t you know that the young concubines are not good crops? Is it difficult for them to kill the concubines at that time? They just think that the concubines are still useful."
"My niece is also very useful nowadays, let alone your majesty, but the imperial concubine knows that the niece is calculating her, I am afraid that she will not be willing to kill her!"
Gu Zhen was silent for a while, and said, "You have calculated so much, and the picture is a fair fight between you children? But you are sure that the prince on this side is the opponent of Xuanqing Palace?"
Gu Jue calmly said: "Aunt, in all fairness, does the imperial concubine protect more of the children under the knees, or do you protect the children under the knees?"
The imperial concubine Min in Xuanqing Palace is naturally afraid of the imperial heirs in other palaces, not to mention that the imperial concubine always protects shortcomings. This makes the imperial heirs under her knees confident and bold, but in fact they are probably not good at intrigue.
Because basically there is no opportunity for rehearsal...
However, the princes under the knees of Zhonggong belonged to those who had been bullied and raised by Xuanqinggong.
Regarding the struggle between peers, once Xuanqing Palace loses the shelter of the imperial concubine, there is actually less actual combat experience.
After all, in the past, others let them.
"This is just an optimistic estimate." The queen said coldly, "it does not mean a certain result."
Gu Jue said, "Yes, of course my niece has other plans."
But she didn’t want to tell the queen anymore. She just said,
Auntie, we don’t have much time to chat now. The concubine is not a fool. No matter whether she has evidence or not, she is being attacked at this moment, whether she really doubts us or not. Immediately drag us into the water. Presumably, someone from your Majesty's side will come and ask you to cross over."

"My niece will not say anything extra, just two sentences: If the imperial concubine is present, no matter how many proofs come up, the aunt will just deny it, but if she can't deny it, she will call her grievances. Even if you relax your heart, your majesty will not be able to make you bear the burden of murdering your neighbour's wife. Women’s crimes. At least not for now."
"If the imperial concubine leaves, only you and your majesty will be there. Your majesty will ask again. You will say it again, but the person who made this idea, don't say the niece, this is not the niece who wants to pick herself out, but It’s because you, as the lord of the sixth house, have fallen into hearing what your niece says about such an older child. What do you say is your Majesty’s thinking about you?"
"Don't worry about what happened to your majesty then, you will remember that you did this just to stop the concubine from helping her children in front of her to pull off the sidelines!"
"It's good for the princes to solve the competition between the princes...what are the elders caught in the middle?"
"If you say that, even if your Majesty speaks harshly, he must be in favor of it in his heart!"
"Otherwise, what did he do to decide this matter arbitrarily, and save the undercurrents from the front harem?!"
After Gu Jue said, he sighed slightly and said cautiously, "Auntie in this trip may suffer a lot of grievances, but you must hold back. Remember, today, the imperial concubine suffers more losses than you!"
After all, the entire Xuanqing Palace faction was supported by the imperial concubine alone.
Once the imperial concubine is forced to stand by...
When Gu Zhen thought of this, he suddenly felt that this niece seemed quite pleasing to the eye?
In the next moment, great loss and shame came to my mind: how to say? I always feel that I have survived the dog's life in the past few decades...
…In the evening, the sky was gloomy and it started to rain.
The empress dowager heard the sound of raindrops beating on banana leaves and walked out of the house, leaning on the railing to enjoy the rain scene in the courtyard.
The attendant was afraid that she was feeling cold, and she took out her cloak in a hurry: "Manny, it's cold in the mountains, let's put it on."
"It seems that there is fun again today?" The empress dowager did not refuse, watching the waiter tie herself a belt, and suddenly asked, "I heard that the imperial concubine has suffered?"
"Not count?" said the waiter, "it was said that the empress and the concubine were both scolded, but the most unlucky was Du Langu. The good wife and daughters were gone. The key is to find out that it is neither the concubine nor the concubine. It was not the queen who did it, but the maidservants were worried that the mistress's return would not be able to accommodate them. The imperial concubine gave up her anger and did not care about their life and death. She acquiesced to Mrs. Qian to deal with it at will... In fear, she simply did not do it. Two endlessly, poisoning the mistress and prostitutes as revenge. Alas, the imperial concubine did not expect that she would choose such a person to reward her? Otherwise, just because of her shrewdness, how would she choose this kind of sexuality to add trouble to herself?"
"But anyway, Du Langu should hate the noble concubine."
"The queen is the most unlucky. She obviously has nothing to do with her. Because of the accusation of the imperial concubine's white teeth, not only did her majesty let her suffer, but she also scolded the queen..."
This waiter has been with the Empress Dowager for many years, and he has been serving since Sejong’s time. Naturally, he speaks much more casually. At this moment, he can’t help saying,
Although the emperor is politically unambiguous, he is far worse than Emperor Xian in the harem. Far away. How did the emperor respect you back then? Oh, and now the queen is not the emperor's wife, but she can't compare with you at that time."
Of course the Emperor Xiandi she was talking about was Shenzong.
When the Queen Mother heard the words, she also showed reminiscence, but in the end she only sighed and said lightly: "It's also because of Gu's being too honest...this year, the honest child will suffer a loss after all."
She said meaningfully, "The Ai family only understood this truth back then. This Gu family is a silly person, I'm afraid I won't understand it in this life."
The waiter listened and asked in a low voice, "Should we help this Gu family?"
"Help her?" The empress dowager smiled, her expression a little weird, "No, it's not for helping her, but for the Aijia herself."
She slowly said, "Everyone knows the of the imperial concubine. It is impossible to let go after such a loss. To be honest, this little Yun is really smart... It's a pity, her origin..."
The Empress Dowager seemed to have thought of something, sighed, and said, "Xiao Yunshi is best at ingenuity. I am afraid that Zhong Gong will not be stable in these two days. You can let people watch, don't call Xiao Yunshi too proud. Since it is a rule handed down since ancient times to have a straight line and no straight line, it should be honestly according to the rules, Xiaoyun...why bother struggling?"
Yun Fenghuang didn't know the Empress Dowager who hadn't taken care of things for many years. He had clearly helped to point Xie Kuo to Xie Kuo, but didn't stand by herself. After all, the Empress Dowager had nothing to do with the queen.
Even the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Central Palace is not very harmonious.
She couldn't think of her age at all. The nice thing to say is that she is concentrating on nurturing her life, and the awkward thing is that the empress dowager who is waiting to die will choose the queen unwillingly to be lonely.
But because I don’t know Gu Jue’s private plan, starting from the two lives of Shanyuan Temple, the mother and daughter of Qian’s family died not long after they left Taoist Temple. In the eyes of the master and servant of Yun Fenghuang, the most suspicious , Or the Queen Mother.
