Vol 4 Chapter 287: Few candidates

The news that King Jin had contracted smallpox spread to the previous dynasty. Although it was not easy to talk about, Chunjia's face was gloomy for a moment. Before he had time to inquire about the ins and outs, he listened to the waiter who continued to report that the imperial concubine learned that King Jin was sick. Later, he insisted on taking care of his son personally. Fortunately, he tried desperately to stop him. At this moment, he was sent a message to Sui'an and Xie Shiba who were outside the palace, and they were spreading money and doing good to pray for King Jin.
The imperial concubine entered the palace for a few years, and the fifteenth prince was born. He couldn’t pay much attention to it. So Chunjia didn’t think much about it at the moment, except that the imperial concubine was in the hospital for a sudden illness. Curry took a sum of silver and sent it to the residence of Princess Sui'an: "Fifteen is also my heir."
The servants did not dare to remind him that the three princes and ten princes were also sick on the couch, and the emperor did not say that he was accumulating virtue for these two sons.
Just continue to cautiously said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is now thoroughly investigating the palace, and...and...seems to doubt the middle palace!"
Chunjia frowned and said, "What is going on?"
"It’s said that the imperial concubine empress felt that the imperial concubine had something wrong with the veil she embroidered for the empress dowager, but in fact, it was the three princes in front of Zhonggong who were the first to get sick. Ten princes. These days have passed before His Royal Highness Jin had an accident. He suspected that the root cause of His Highness Jin’s illness was not the acne marks on the veil..." The maid said something a bit trembling. After all, the Royal Concubine didn’t say it clearly. It means to doubt the queen.
"The imperial concubine Xu is concerned and messy." Chunjia's heart sank, not because he really suspected the middle palace, but felt that things were a little out of control.
Because before Yun Fenghuang's ambitions are well known, at any rate it was just that she unilaterally coveted the back position and coveted Qingci Palace, but Zhonggong was really not at fault. There is no real contradiction between the two sides, so even if they dislike each other, they can still be polite after seeing each other. Even many things can be discussed.
In this case, as long as the emperor restrains the imperial concubine and controls the imperial concubine’s power and right from wrong to a certain extent, he can achieve that the future East Palace will be tempered, and the contradictions between the concubines will not be irreconcilable. When suppressed, one party must be ruined.
But if King Jin’s smallpox has a relationship with Zhonggong, or if Yun Fenghuang determines that there is a relationship, can both parties still coexist in the future?
The emperor's thoughts turned and he said slowly, "Since the acne marks on the veil were discovered, the Sixth Palace was quickly closed, where is there any possibility of infectious disease? It is probably the culprit who deliberately did it and wanted to provoke the relationship between the courts."
When these words were transferred to Yun Fenghuang, she sneered a few times and said to the person who came: "Your Majesty's meaning, this palace understands. But this palace only has a little blood and bones like King Jin, and he is only so old. This kind of difficulty... Even if this palace is not good, what is the matter, it is directed at this palace, why does it involve innocent children? And this is not the first thing. At the beginning, it was not the first thing that your Majesty favored. When she was in the palace, Concubine An had two pregnancies, but now she is still emptied under her knees? My palace thought that she had no children for many years, but finally gave a pity to a prince. Who knows that it’s only a few days... like in this palace. No less than the emperor's heir out of your favorite concubine!"
The palace servant in charge of the message didn't dare to say anything. After a while, he saw that the imperial concubine had nothing else to say before quitting in a cold sweat.
Chunjia only heard the imperial concubine's reply after a short while, knowing that Yun Fenghuang was really angry, and didn't intend to compromise by his hint.
This was what he expected. After all, Yun Fenghuang was never the one who swallowed his anger. When did she not let others swallow his anger? That was normal, let alone her own flesh and blood who suffered now.
The emperor's affection for King Jin was not very deep. To be honest, if the child was really gone, he wouldn't feel any grief, but he was afraid that the imperial concubine would not be able to bear it and would do something out of control.
No, it should be said that based on his understanding of Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang will definitely make trouble in the palace.
When this concubine entered the palace in her early years, she had assumed a posture of not being afraid of death. If she suffered the pain of losing her son, what could she do?
Chunjia was silent for a while.
If this is someone who doesn't like it so much, just change it cruelly. In that case, no matter how cruel Yun Fenghuang is, he is sure that she won't make any splashes.
But he also really likes the imperial concubine. If the imperial concubine had lost the child because of this disaster, he couldn't help stabbing her in the wound? Although she is unreasonable, but... he is the emperor. If he doesn't even have the ability to indulge his concubine for a while, what else would he mess with?
"...Someone will sort out the situation of the temple princes and children, and submit them." The emperor thought for a while, then slowly ordered.
No way, he couldn't bear the concubine.
It is impossible to abandon her because of such a thing, so now he can only prepare for the worst, that is, after the death of King Jin, Yun Fenghuang insisted to settle accounts with Zhonggong, he has to consider changing to a queen...
At that time, not only may you have to change the queen, but the three aunts today are probably not appropriate.
After all, the king of Chu aside, the tenth prince and the twelfth prince were brought up by the queen, and they are still very attached to Gu Zhen.
After replacing Gu Zhen, they can't do anything at a young age. When they grow up, how can they not resent the imperial concubine?
Chunjia attaches great importance to the ten princes and the twelfth princes because they are prostitutes and their backgrounds are suitable for being established as princes. For the two princes themselves, in fact, he did not have a special affection. Even abandoning everything that only talks about the children themselves, the ones he loves most are King Qin and Zhaoqing, the two children he cares most about and get along with the most.
Therefore, once the ten princes and twelve princes are not suitable, the emperor has nothing to bear with replacing them.
"The palace hasn't added people for a few years, and it's time to add some picking girls." The emperor thought to himself. Now, although there are many heirs under his knees, there are not many princes who are suitable for the crown.
The birth mother is a noble daughter must be ruled out, so the second prince, the third prince, the seventh prince, the eleventh prince, and the thirteenth prince are the first to be eliminated; the birth mother city is too deep, and it will be difficult to resist the filial piety in the future. The prince did not consider it, so the nine princes and the fifteen princes are not appropriate.
There are only six princes and fourteen princes left.
However, the six princes used to be heirs of Concubine An, and they are even now recorded in the name of Concubine An. Later, they were raised by the empress dowager. Recently, even in front of Concubine Xian, the so-called eighth prince from Yuan Zhiniang was disposed of. After that, this was the prince who had the closest relationship with Yuan, and Chunjia would not consider it.

The birth mother of the fourteenth prince, Qu Hongzhuan, is an authentic poor family girl. The problem is that this is the direct line of Yun Fenghuang.
Not to mention that setting up the fourteenth prince is equal to promoting Yun Fenghuang’s arrogance. Simply considering that the Qu family has been bowing to serve the noble concubine since entering the palace, if the mother is more expensive than the son in the future, the noble concubine will be asked to do a low profile with her... Chunjia just wanted to give a red seal to the death song.
In short, if the ten princes and the twelve princes are not suitable for the king, the other princes are not suitable.
The emperor was busy with the government affairs of the previous dynasty and had not noticed it. Now he thought about it secretly, frowning, and remembering the left and right. When the epidemic passed, he added some new people to the palace in the name of the Queen Mother.
There are too few candidates for the crown prince, which is not good for the country in the end.
Yun Fenghuang didn’t know at all, because of his own words, the emperor was thinking about changing the queen and being easy to save. She only Dao Chunjia was determined, not to mention that she just suspected that Zhong Gong had murdered King Jin, even if Zhong Gong did it seriously. , Maybe Chunjia will help with the aftermath.
After all, except that Gu Zhen didn't like the emperor, everything was in line with the emperor's requirements for the queen.
She knew that it was impossible to kill the queen at the moment, but it didn't matter, you could keep the account first, and then take it out when it's almost done in the future, and give Zhong Gong a fatal blow.
"How are the three princes and ten princes now?" Yun Fenghuang recalled Chen Jing to ask, and learned that the two princes under the knees of Zhonggong had a violent illness yesterday, very serious. Eating or drinking, kneeling in the direction of Taimiao, praying for the blessing of the ancestors of the Gongxiang clan day and night.
The ancestors of the Gongxiang clan really had that ability, but Xiaozong could still die in depression?
The imperial concubine sneered a few times in her heart, sincerely hoping that the ten princes would die.
Settling her mind, she said slowly: "The three princes and ten princes were the first to become ill. At that time, the Sixth Palace had already sent the waiters who had been with the Central Palace in those days to the remote palace. As a result, the thirteen princes are the same as the 15th. I’m still infected... This matter, the Central Palace can’t help but give an explanation to the Palace! You ask someone to go to Yanfu Palace to spread the word, and the queens on the left and right are not personally accompanying the two princes. She solves the puzzle for the house!"
Because of the three princes and ten princes, Yanfu Palace became a place that everyone shunned at this time, but the imperial concubine ordered people to go there.
The queen was anxious. Hearing that the concubine sent someone from this eye to the bone, it would take a while to pass away, so she asked with a hoarse voice.
Knowing that it was for the purpose of inquiring about sins, I almost fainted: "My palace can't wait to exchange my life for Bing'er and Xiao Shi Taiping is fine, how can I think about other things?! How did King Jin get sick? The concubine does not ask. I asked myself about the care of Xuanqing Palace. I didn’t ask the people who served the King Jin, but came to ask this palace?! You must know that the veil where the acne scars were found was the one that the imperial concubine made by himself!!!"
However, when the scolding came, Gu Zhen calmed down and felt a little sad, "Although the imperial concubine is not a thing, the king Jin is really young... and the thirteen princes, all innocent children... Who is so frantic?!"
She didn't dare to say it, because she actually suspected that it was the handwriting left by the mother empress dowager.
After all, not everyone can do this kind of hands and feet in the imperial ban without leaving a handle.
Of course, Ji's remnants are also possible, although the third prince is also among the recruits, but the third prince is also of Chunjia's blood.
Those who survived the Ji family must be full of hatred for Chunjia, it is really hard to say whether it will feel bad for the third prince.
"If it's the Ji family's remnants, it's fine. They and your majesty, no, it should be said that they are now as deep as the sea with the entire royal family..." Gu Zhen sighed deeply and said in his heart, "If it is the mother empress dowager" The reason for this is very clear. She not only wants to murder the emperor heirs, but also provokes the relationship between the palace and the imperial concubine... Before, the reason why she left the palace, the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine, both contributed privately. ...At this moment, she is here to retaliate."
As for the empress Dowager Yuan and Chunjia, although they are not the mother and son, they are in love with the mother and son. How can you bear it...
Gu Zhen is not as naive as he entered the palace at the beginning of the year. Of course, he understands how volatile people's hearts are in the face of the supreme position and power.
She used to think she was a good person, but when she heard that Gu Liman, the biological mother of the twelve princes, had gone, she was secretly relieved?
For the Empress Yuan, it is not unacceptable that the emperor's heirs are dead as long as Chunjia is in peace. Because Chunjia is still not old, there are more emperor heirs.
Of course, this is only the Queen’s suspicion. After all, there is no distinction between high and low epidemics. Yanfu Palace is only separated from the Taichu Palace by a pool of Taichu. Isn’t the Queen Mother Yuan afraid that Chunjia will follow the bad luck?
"Anyway, noble concubine... this palace can't let the noble concubine really hate this palace." Gu Zhen pondered for a moment, letting people go to Xuanqing Palace to tell the noble concubine her doubts.
Anyway, it doesn't matter whether this matter was done by the Queen Mother, the key is that she can't be regarded as an enemy by the imperial concubine.
Chunjia imagined that Yun Fenghuang's reaction after the death of the King of the Lower Jin was a headache, let alone the queen.
She is not very scheming, but she is not stupid, okay.
As long as the imperial concubine doesn't point her finger at her, she doesn't bother to care whether the Queen Mother is wronged or not.
