Vol 4 Chapter 281: smallpox

The imperial concubine did not add blockages to the Queen Mother Yuan once or twice. When the Queen Mother Yuan was in the palace, there was no way to illuminate the palace, let alone people in Fuyang County now?
The queen shook her head. She didn't want to say anything, she just asked people to pack things up.
But at this time, a close attendant reminded: "Manny, the imperial concubine is so negligent, that is, when we look at it, we feel aggrieved for the empress dowager. You said that the empress dowager did not feel good in my heart?"
"What's the solution?" Gu Zhen said, "The imperial concubine has such a personality since his birth, and his majesty is spoiled again. Can we still vent our anger to the empress dowager? In fact, it would be good if she was willing to take things out. , What do you think of this palace? I can’t say I can’t add one more to make this round for her. Otherwise, this matter is not to make faces for the two empresses, but for the two empresses. Although the two empress dowagers are angry, how can your majesty not blame this palace?"
After all, she was the one who presided over this matter. It was done well, although Chunjia praised it; if it was not done well, although the emperor would not say anything to her, he would definitely not get away with a private reprimand.
From the position of the queen, she naturally hopes to finish smoothly and add luster to her virtuous reputation.
And the people and things that are disobedient and make her helpless, have to deal with them herself.
"Niang, if the two empress dowagers are just uncomfortable in their hearts, it's okay. The key is if they are uncomfortable, what should they do?" Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, the attendant had to speak more clearly. "Fuyang County is just a small place in the end, and the climate is not good. If the two empress dowagers have three long and two short due to these birthday gifts, then someone will come up to the table and ask for the two empress dowagers to come to the emperor to raise them. This?"
Gu Zhen was startled when he heard the words and frowned.
The close attendant continued his efforts: "Although the Yuan family is gone, don't forget that Fuyang King has heirs. The two empress dowagers have nothing to do with the current harem. Can't they still hold that Gongxiang as a wife?"
After the birthday gift arrives, he will call his illness first. When it is over, let Gongxiang Ruohen ask to send the two queen mothers back to the Imperial Capital for a peaceful retreat... You don’t need to be bothered, as long as you make a gesture that you can’t live in Fuyang County, Gongxiang Ruohen is afraid I was eager to go to the table and give away immediately.
After all, Empress Dowager Yuan is nominally the elder of Gong Xiangruo, but in fact she has a deep relationship with the emperor.
In case there is something good or bad in Fuyang County, wouldn't Gongxiangruohe's family want to make a punch for the emperor?
"..." Gu Zhen didn't expect this at all before. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a headache, and said, "It shouldn't be enough? Your Majesty has always been shrewd, and the mother empress dowager was so resolute at the beginning, but it has only been a few days. Come out, if your Majesty doesn't say anything, how can he not have any thoughts in his heart?"
The reason why the two empress dowagers rushed back to Fuyang County at such an age, apart from being forced by the general situation, is actually Chunjia's determination to stay in the final analysis, not as firm as it seems.
From an emotional point of view, he might hope that the Empress Dowager Yuan Qu will stay and let him personally support her later years, but from the perspective of interest, Chunjia actually hopes that they will leave.
After all, when the two empress dowagers were in the palace, they either fought with each other or played with the concubines. In addition to the versatility of the former Asahi, Chunjia did not want to return to the harem and even mediate them... Especially the grievances between the Empress Dowager Yuan and Yun Fenghuang, Chunjia has been dealt with completely.
The most important thing is that as Chunjia's position becomes more and more stable, she doesn't need the care of the Empress Dowager Yuan any more, and the empress dowager Yuan's favoritism has become more inclined to her natal family.
She even leans towards the prince who she thinks has Yuan's blood.
This kind of sentiment is actually understandable by Chunjia. After all, he is not the blood of the Empress Dowager Yuan. No matter how much the two love the mother and son, at this time, it is generally believed that unfilial piety is the result of three things. The regret is hard to get rid of.
If Yun Fenghuang was the first to consider her own pros and cons, she might be easier to think about, that is, as long as she lives well, isn't Chunjia a cheap son much better than others' unbelievable biological sons?
The problem is that the Queen Mother is not. Although she is not a soft-hearted master, but in many places she can still be called the virtuous husband and teacher... This kind of is even more difficult to imagine.
So maybe the queen mother realized it, maybe she didn't realize it herself, in short, the queen mother had indulged a Yuan Mianniang before and was not very supportive of the Yuan family. In the past two years, her attitude towards the Yuan family has become more relaxed.
This makes Chunjia wary.
After all, Ji's lesson to Gongxiang was too great. Empress Dowager Yuan herself used similar reasons to guard against Yun Fenghuang, but to be honest, she is only the daughter-in-law of Gongxiang after all, not the blood of Gongxiang, especially She is not the male heir of the Gongxiang clan, and her taboo towards the Ji clan does not have deep feelings for members of the bloodline like Chunjia and the regent.
The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an ant nest. Did Ji's founding depend on the trust and reliance of Emperor Shenzong?
Frankly speaking, the Ji family was worthy of this trust and reliance at the time, and Shenzong was able to obtain the posthumous title of Shenzong, and Ji had contributed a lot.
No matter what kind of humiliation and pain this family brings to the royal family, they have credit for Hai Qinghe Yan in the world.
Chunjia learned these lessons because he didn't want to give any family a chance to threaten the imperial power.
Therefore, the empress dowager Yuan sent the eight princes to the queen's knees, and it is hard not to make him doubt that this kind mother empress is preparing for the future capture of the reserve.
Even if she didn't have this idea at this time, but just as explained before leaving, she just wanted the eighth prince to get closer to the future prince, but when she opened the history book, after the prince overturned the car, the prince who was close to him took advantage of it. Not never.
And if the eighth prince hadn't been exposed, he would have grown up in front of the middle palace and watched his younger brother enter the east palace because of his protagonist status. He would be bowed down by their brothers in the future. Who knows if he has other thoughts?
Chunjia didn't even give the fifteenth prince to the queen so that the mother and son would be taken care of in the future, let alone the sons of the concubine Yuan.
auzw.com In short, the emperor’s determination is firm, which is true for his beloved concubine, and it is also true for the queen dowager Yuan.
His feelings for them are true, and his sense of responsibility for the inheritance of Jiangshan Sheji and Gongxiang is also true.
And the latter is more important than the former.
"If the two empress dowagers have given up, they probably won't do it." The attendant whispered, "but what if they don't give up? Think about the rumors in the palace after the two left. At that time, the imperial concubine was about to give birth. There is a lack of energy, but it may not be able to do those things. And the death of Gu Cairen, it really doesn’t look like the imperial concubine has the ability to do. Yun Shi is willing to do something for her? The maid thinks that most of them are still inseparable from the two empress dowagers, especially the loving mother empress dowager. After all, that wild species, although we were not stabbed in the end, we also acted. Loving mother The empress dowager may not be ignorant. This was originally the fault of the Yuan family and the empress dowager, but you said, would the empress dowager think so?"
Of course it is impossible.
In all fairness, the downfall of the Yuan family was not wronged. The crime of confusing blood is such a big crime that no emperor can tolerate it.
Don't say that the Empress Dowager Yuan is not the kind of person who is light and windy, even if it is, facing the result of the destruction of the entire natal family, I am afraid that only the saint can remain calm and stand a fair perspective.
She didn't say anything, there must be anger in her heart.
This is most likely to be angered, of course, the queen and the imperial concubine.
Therefore, for a series of things that happened in the palace these days, the queen’s master and servant most suspected the Queen Mother Yuan and the imperial concubine, but after careful analysis, even if the imperial concubine’s methods are powerful, the family background is shallow and the days of entering the palace are short. Other than that, Gu Cairen is the case. Mr. Gu thought that the imperial concubine may not have this ability.
The most suspicious is the Queen Mother Yuan.
Gu Zhen frowned, "Why didn't you say these things before?"
I said before that she would not have to worry about doing more than doing less.
What to do now?
After all the words have been said and the things have been collected, it is impossible to say not to give them away, right? If they were sent, if the two old things really took the opportunity to make things happen, even if their actions would inevitably make Chunjia feel bored, but the emperor was not the kind of arrogant person, and his boredom might not fall into action.
Gu Zhen himself was an example of this. The emperor didn't like her, but didn't he let her sit firmly in the back?
When the time comes, the emperor will also come to the two empress dowagers. Although it is annoying for them to do this Qiao Zhang, he still welcomes them back to the palace to let them continue to behave, this? ? ?
...At that time, Gu Zhen said that he couldn't be angered by the emperor, and blamed her for nothing.
The attendant smiled bitterly and pleaded: "...The maidservant didn't think so much at the beginning, but only when he saw the veil sent by the concubine."
However, it is not impossible to do so now, "Either the majesty asks your majesty to take the palm of your hand? Such a thing has been delivered, no matter what happened, it is always your Majesty who has personally checked it."
By the way, I euphemistically remind Chunjia, let Chunjia worry about it... Anyway, Chunjia shouldn't want those two to come back.
Gu Zhen said distraughtly: "Oh, I really regret that I heard that my family had arranged to enter the harem, one or two, no one can worry about it!"
In her opinion, this was originally a scene of very kind and filial piety, can't we cooperate with each other?
Gu Zhen already felt very troublesome here, but she went to Chunjia to talk about it the next day. Chunjia had no time to worry about it. He ordered Yan Yin to check it out. It was an endorsement for the queen. Yan Yin looked at it, his face turned. It changed. I didn’t even go back to the Supreme Beginning Palace. I called a small servant to give Chunjia a letter across the high palace wall: "Your Majesty, all the things prepared by the empress dowagers are excellent. It's just that... the imperial doctor who went with said that two things seemed to be wrong!"
Chunjia frowned and said, "Whose thing is wrong?"
Without waiting for the little servant to answer, he asked again, "Can the concubine prepare it?"
"...Don't dare to lie to your Majesty, what the imperial doctor most suspects is the veil prepared by the concubine empress." The little maid lay on the ground and said tremblingly, "The imperial physician...doubt... suspect that the veil seems to be stained. Dip!"
The emperor's expression turned gloomy in an instant: "Go and ask the queen if he has been in contact with the ten princes in the past two days!"
Chunjia reacted very quickly, but it was still too late: After all, the queen had been publicly spread rumors to defeat her son, how could she not take care of the ten princes personally as a treasure?
Before the ten princes were not well, she was personally undressed and guarded in front of the couch. Now that the ten princes are well, she will be summoned to her front palm three or four times a day.
Therefore, after receiving the reminder from the imperial attendant, Gu Zhen fainted before finishing speaking!
In the evening of that day, the front harem spread an amazing news: the birthday gift made by the imperial concubine to the empress dowager was stained with smallpox marks, and after the queen unsuspectingly watched it with her close attendant, she was summoned many times. Three princes, ten princes!
