Vol 4 Chapter 310: Wen Mingcui's inference

Gu Zhen was stunned!
After a long while, she was shocked and said: "My palace instructs???"
Seeing the imperial concubine sighing and nodding her head, the empress smirked, "What does this palace do to murder An imperial concubine?! Well, even if this palace wants to harm An imperial concubine, this palace is the queen, what kind of talents are not available at hand? Their two cheap servants?!"
She was so angry that she didn't know what to say for a while, Yun Fenghuang said that she could understand her feelings: "We all know it in our hearts. The empress has always been kind and generous, and she will never do such a bad hand against Concubine An. Those two barbarians planted and framed them, but..."
The imperial concubine wanted to say something but stopped, and at the urging of the queen, he told her helplessly, "The two lowly servants have some vouchers in their hands. Look... as if they have something to do with the people under the empress!"
Otherwise, Yun Fenghuang has now made up his mind to learn from Chunjia back then, keeping a low profile, how could it be possible to listen to the wind and rain to disturb the ill queen?
The queen resisted the terrible anger and asked her what evidence she had and who was it related to her staff?
As a result, someone from the palace rushed in from the outside, with a panic report, saying that it was the steward from the side hall that even the palace staff under her hand had died. The scene should be after the steward poisoned her subordinates and took the poison. Self-exhaustion!
Yun Fenghuang was only halfway through speaking, and he frowned and said, "Yemo is this person."
Sure enough, he checked that the dead steward and his subordinates were the two people who had the evidence of the relationship in Wen's hands.
Now there is no evidence!
Not only that, the key is that Wen Mingcui and Wen Shijiang also gave the reason why the queen instigated them to murder Concubine An, because the mother-in-law empress dowager!
"The Empress An is the immediate nephew of the empress dowager. At the beginning, the empress dowager had to leave the capital and travel all the way back to Fuyang County because of the empress dowager's calculations..."
"The empress empress hates the mother empress dowager deeply, even if the empress dowager is thousands of miles away, the empress empress still refuses to give up!"
"She knows that when the mother-in-law empress dowager is in the palace, besides her majesty, the one she loves most is Empress An. If there is something wrong with Empress An, the empress dowager may not be able to bear it in her advanced age!"
"That's why I have to instigate concubines to murder Concubine An!"
After Yun Fenghuang relayed Wen Mingcui’s confession, he finally said: "The concubine asked them at the time, just as the empress said, even so, as the empress, how many people under his hand are not easy to use and need Looking for the two of them?"
Then the two palace concubines said that the steward who originally contacted them did not reveal their identity, but they themselves became suspicious:
The rumor of the palace ban, the reason why the concubine An concubine will be sent to the Huzhu Palace is absolutely impossible. The concubine’s way of inheriting pets has been smashed day by day because she heard that when the concubines were serving her in the Taichu Palace, they often teased her in private..."
That's why Wen Mingcui felt that this was wrong. After all, "The concubines did not know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and it was true that many words and behaviors were not appropriate. But the prince attendants, even those who served the concubines, might not be able to show their faces in front of the prince, anyway. You are also a member of the Taichu Palace. It’s fine to tell these words to the concubine empress. After all, your position in the palace is understood by the former harem. However, even if Concubine An has a concubine, she has fallen out of favor for many years. I don't want to hear her at all! Otherwise, the concubine and these people had some affection in front of your majesty earlier, why have they never seen your majesty after entering the Huzhu Palace?"
"The concubine body told them that Concubine An and His Majesty are childhood sweethearts, and the nieces and nieces of the empress dowager. Her status in the palace cannot be described as being favored or out of favor. It is concubine body, as long as She is not looking for trouble, and she is unwilling to kill them all." Yun Fenghuang explained to the queen, "So it is not surprising that the palace people at the Taichu Palace can't bear the newcomers' mischief, and secretly reveal the news to An Fei."
But Wen Mingcui didn’t think so. Her thoughts were:
Even though the concubine was Meng Lang at the time, she was not confused enough to talk nonsense in the public! In that case, your Majesty was the first one to be able to spare the concubine, right?! The concubine was always there at the time. The court lady who was waiting for her concubine next to her murmured that she was just a rude servant in the Taichu Palace, and she was not surprised, and there was no chance to serve the prince. Please think about it, even if she is unfaithful to her concubine, she will do this. It's fine to report to you, but why bother to report to An Fei? She is not afraid to do so, it will make you unhappy?"
Yun Fenghuang had to admit that this palace lady still had a bit of a brain.
Indeed, no matter how special Yuan Meiniang’s status is, she is after all her former favorite consort. Not only has she fallen out of favor now, the key is that she has a very bad relationship with the current favorite consort Yun Fenghuang.
It’s not uncommon for the palace staff of Taichu Palace not to be stupid enough to sell a newcomer to the proud concubine in private. The key is to sell the news of the newcomer discussing An Fei to Yuan Meiniang. What good will it do?
It is necessary to know that Huzhu Palace and the concubines have been in a situation where the well water has not violated the river water for the past two years. Whether the queen or the noble concubine, they acquiesce that Concubine An can enjoy the prosperity and wealth but does not give her any chance to contaminate the palace. Therefore, the palace clerk in the Taichu Palace confided to An Fei to get some financial benefits at most.
auzw.com And what about the risks? In addition to the consequences of being discovered by Chunjia, he also had to face revenge and hostility from the imperial concubine.
Will the palace people of the Taichu Palace be so stupid?
In the words of Wen Mingcui: "If the maid is only for money, why not follow her concubine? Although her concubine is not of high birth, she also knows the reason why she can't bear her child and can't put her in a wolf. But she has never treated her poorly. If she doesn’t sell her concubine body and assist her concubine with heart, after her concubine body is favored, she can still treat her badly? After all, when the concubine enters the palace, she has nothing to do with the concubine, she is the first one after entering the palace. The person who came to serve. If it weren't for her unpredictable intentions, the concubine fits the best to trust her!"
Yun Fenghuang said to the queen at this moment: "The concubine's body has been checked. After Wen Mingcui enters the palace, the person waiting to be served is indeed not bad. Many of the things that your Majesty rewarded her have been distributed to the people around her. This is also what she used to be. After the imperial court spoke insultingly and angered your majesty, he could continue to serve if he admitted the mistake. The imperial court attendant felt that although she said too much, she would lose her, but she did not lose her sincerity and heartlessness."
Coupled with the fact that he is young, he is only fifteen this year, so it is charming and not annoying.
Gu Zhen's face was blue, and the fingers pressed on the armrest of the phoenix seat interlaced blue and white due to force, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were exposed, and said coldly: "So she doubts this palace?"
"...At first, she said that she and Wen Shijiang suspected her concubine." Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "Because they heard the rumors that An Fei fell out of favor because of her concubine. So I only wanted to use them to kill them, and even wanted to kill two birds with one stone: first use An Fei to dispose of them, who also talked about the palace in private, and then use their lives to question An Fei. But later found that the palace It's different from what they imagined, so I suspect that the empress is here."
After a pause, she asked, "The empress still remembers that Concubine An beat Wen Shijiang and Wen Mingcui came to Yanfu Palace to ask you for help?"
After closing her eyes for a moment, then opening them, Gu Zhen tried to stabilize her emotions and motioned her to continue.
"Wen Mingcui took a photo with the manager who just disappeared in Yanfu Palace that day." Yun Fenghuang said, "Later she became suspicious, and she found clues that it had something to do with the manager. If this is not, she suspected it. ?"
But in fact, these two court concubines were light-hearted after all. Not to mention the evidence in their hands, they did not reach the point where there was a mountain of hard evidence. Even if they were, they couldn't shake the queen.
... The key lies in the master and servant of Concubine An.
"The concubine feels that this is a bit of a coincidence, and there may be some twists and turns in it. But Yuan Zhu was very excited and insisted on sending someone to Fuyang County immediately to report to the empress dowager." Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly, "concubine body. I really can't stop it... I can only know that Niang Niang, you are tired now, but you still have to come to interrupt."
"...My palace knows." Gu Zhen's expression is very ugly. She has been a queen for so many years, although she is exhausted, of course she has made a lot of progress compared to when she was a wife before.
Now I look at An Fei, but I really don't think there is anything terrible or difficult.
The key is the aunt behind them...
Thinking of the mother-in-law empress dowager, Gu Zhen felt upset and reluctantly restrained, and asked Yun Fenghuang, "You said this...is the empress dowager instructed? The purpose is to find an excuse to return to the capital?"
"The concubine body feels that it is not good to say now." Yun Fenghuang said in a deep voice, "It is said that the mother-in-law empress dowager is not a little spoiling for An Fei, even if she is to come back to the Imperial Capital to make a fuss, she will not really let An Fei. Injured like that?"
Gu Zhen frowned and said, "But the Yuan family has already been destroyed. When the mother-in-law empress dowager left Fuyang County, her Majesty saved Yuan Ke's life. It was just barely enough. The Yuan family in Fuyang did not exist. As for Concubine An, she has not been favored for many years. Although no one in the palace deliberately embarrassed her, no one paid any attention to her. She had a boring life, and she simply used herself to give the mother empress dowager a chance to come back. may."
"What the empress said." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "The concubine just thinks that your majesty is a wise martial artist. If the empress dowager does this, I'm afraid you can't hide your majesty's eyes?"
The Queen Mother Yuan's greatest support is Chunjia's affection and trust in her.
If Chunjia knew at a glance that she didn't give up on power and status, and would rather sacrifice her niece who was once a treasure to return...Even if she did, how could she still have the weight and advantage of the past?
"..." Gu Zhen frowned, sighed for a long time, and asked, "Your Majesty...Does your Majesty know about this?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang nod her head, she pursed her mouth, her eyes were blank for a moment, and then slowly asked, "Your Majesty, what did he...what?"
