Vol 5 Chapter 244: The truth (four)

Yun Fenghuang was startled.
Just listen to the empress dowager and said with a wry smile: "You have tasted this kind of suffering yourself! How come you have completely forgotten it over the years?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang was stunned, and immediately understood, and said in amazement, "Qu clan...has been jealous of you?"
It's like Chao Jingyou, who was back then, tried every means to fight her.
Even if she was ridiculed and taunted again and again, she still failed repeatedly.
In the end, he caught the matter of Xie Fenghu and successfully married into Qi's family!
As the Empress Dowager said, Yun Fenghuang did not react when he was young. After all, Qi Jiulu was the best young kid in the entire Northland. It is normal for Chao Jingyou to admire him and covet him.
After getting older, Yun Fenghuang realized that Chao Jingyou may have feelings for Qi Jiulu, but it may not be as profound as she imagined.
Judging from the fact that Chao Jingyou personally named her daughter Qi Luqing, it is not so much that Chao Jingyou's heart is Qi Jiulu, but it is Yun Fenghuang.
Otherwise, she would not hope that her own flesh and blood could become the next Yunfenghuang.
"Of course she hates the Ai family." The Empress Dowager said with a sneer, "The same is the daughter of a famous family, and she and Ai's family are equally divided! But the Ai's parents are complete, and the elders in the family are pretty good. For pampering. Especially grandmother, among the many granddaughters, the most dear is the mourning family! And she? Just because the biological mother went early, the stepmother came in to hold the back house and suppressed and ridiculed everywhere. Therefore, the dignified daughter did not live as many as many. Concubine at ease!"
"And the Aijia didn't understand the human heart when she was a teenager. Listening to her grandmother saying she was pitiful, she often took her in and out, but it made her more jealous..."
"Especially, when I was young, Ai Jia and her often visited Shanyuan."
"But the Ai's family was to accompany grandmother, and because of this, she got to know the emperor; but she was to avoid her stepmother's tribulations and had to do it, so when she came to Taoist temple, Ai's family walked around, the right to play, but she wanted to pinch Chenguang to copy Fortunately, the scriptures gave an explanation after returning to the house. Otherwise, she would have to be questioned by her stepmother and run out of the sky, what was her intention?!"
"This was when I was a child, and when I was talking about relatives, the Ai family had parents and siblings to help make it famous. Even if they had some talents, they were actually inferior to her. However, when the Imperial Capital mentioned famous ladies, they only knew Ai Jia, but they didn't know her!"
"As for marriage, let's not talk about it. The Ai family is the main daughter of Ji's family. Both parents, many brothers and sisters, the old lady loves... Please be safe in the palace, and nobles such as the empress dowager will especially praise a few words. The only time the Qu family entered the palace was to be the concubine of the elderly Sejong!"
"You said, can she not hate Aijia?!"
The young Queen Qu, hates the Queen Mother!
Even if the Queen Mother is one of the few people who treat her well, at that time, maybe both of them are too young.
The Empress Dowager did not restrain herself from behind the Queen of Qu, who was generous, comfortable, well-loved, and smooth in life. Empress Qu gradually twisted in the jealousy day after day. The care of her by the Queen Mother was also a success. Condescending alms.
In the end, she hated the Empress Dowager even more than the hatred of the instigator, that is, her stepmother.
So when she conspired to usurp a supreme wealth with King Shu and his wife, as well as some members of the Ji family, she refused to have a son with King Shu, but immediately thought of the first emperor of Shenzong.
It was not that she liked the first emperor of Shenzong, but because the first emperor of Shenzong was the husband of the empress dowager, and he and the empress dowager were happy.
"The first emperor has no hope since he was a child, and I am used to carrying everything by myself." The empress dowager breathed a sigh of relief, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing down, she seemed to say to herself, "And at that time, the Ai family was in the Imperial Capital of the Lady China is very famous, and many people say that he is a little high in marrying the Aijia."
After all, she was able to do what the prince concubine could do, but she married an unfavored prince, even if she was also a noble prince... But at that time, everyone still felt that Shenzong was lucky and the empress dowager was wronged.
"At that time, Ai Jia was arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't pay attention to these boring words. Ai Jia thought that the first emperor must think so. After all, when the first emperor was in front of the Ai Jia, he was always indifferent in the face of stigma... The family came to realize that at that time the Emperor Xian was actually in his teens. It was just when he was full of blood, and he was not accustomed to seeing the storm. How could he be truly indifferent to what he said? It’s just that he was used to cover up, and ...And dare not show weakness in front of the Aijia."
The Empress Dowager said sadly, "He really listened to those words. He was afraid that Ai Jia would regret it, afraid that Ai Jia would also feel that marrying him was a fool..."
Therefore, in the face of the coercion and temptation of Queen Qu and others, Shenzong chose to mediate alone. Therefore, he took the risk to win over the imperial city guards and did many things that he had never done before and dared to do so, he set foot on the battle for reserve. the road.
"He didn't know anything about it at that time." The Empress Dowager laughed sorrowfully. "That's why I sent Ae's family to Zhuangzi without explaining... Many years later, on the eve of his death, Ae's family dared to ask him. Why did he do that at the time? He said that he was afraid that it might hurt Lai's family. He originally planned to send Lai's family to Zhuangzi for some time. There is still a family to rely on, and he may not be dragged down by him. But the Ai Jia wrote a letter, and he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't bear it..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly said, "Returning the blood of the Gongxiang clan is the meaning of the Aijia, and the first emperor has no such plan."
Seeing Yun Fenghuang looking at herself in surprise, the Empress Dowager exuded a little bit of pride, and said indifferently, "The first emperor didn't know about his extinction until he died, but he also knew that the Aijia also had a dark hand... he couldn't find it. The real murderer, so I hate the brothers and sisters, and also hate Sejong...After all, if Sejong deliberately let the royal family fight in order to stabilize his position and authority in his later years, why did the Ai family and the Ai family be affected by this? Well, the first emperor just wants to live in peace and stability."
"The first emperor said privately to the Aijia that although Xiaozong and the regent were not his own, he didn't know about his children, and that he should be treated as his own flesh and blood..."
"Otherwise, we won't marry the daughter of Ji's family as the crown princess for Xiaozong."
"It's just that the Aijia became more guilty after he went, so he decided to return the Gongxiang clan.
Yun Fenghuang was a little startled, "Is this also the reason Ji's parting ways with you?"
"Parting ways?" The Empress Dowager was a little weird and did not answer this question, but said, "It's just that when the first emperor was there, she was very fond of Xiaozong and the regent. The Ai family originally wanted to extinct these two children, and then , It is a matter of course to adopt heirs. However, when things came to an end, thinking of the first emperor, it was a little unbearable. So procrastinated, but let them have these people now, and it also harmed these children."
auzw.com She sighed faintly, and said, "I simply mourn that my family is old and has lived to this day. In the end, I still have time to complete all the plans in person."
Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, and said: "So, in the past few years, many situations in the former harem are actually in your control? That being the case, when the Ji family was destroyed, why did you not stop it beforehand, but afterwards, it has been delayed until now. To retaliate against your Majesty?"
The empress dowager turned her face to look at her, and the strange color on her face became more and more obvious: "Retaliation? The destruction of Ji's family was originally planned by the Aijia. Even if the emperor doesn't do it, the Aijia will do it... Sad. Why did the family retaliate against the emperor for this?!"
"!?" Yun Fenghuang was stunned.
The Empress Dowager sneered: "You are so smart, can't you guess that since the first emperor did not harm the Ai Jia’s childbearing, it caused the Ai Jia to misunderstand the first emperor... it harmed him for the rest of his life, and also the life of the Ai Jia himself. There is someone who can do it!"
And this person who started, was able to make the Empress Dowager unaware, and angered the first emperor of Shenzong. It was obvious that she was a very close and trusted person!
Only Ji's!
Jiang had already guessed this point before, but...
She was still a little puzzled: "The imperial grandmother was Ji's prostitute, and when she was a teenager, both parents were there. Why did Ji want to harm you? Even if they do, they will not be together to murder you? In that case, Why do you want to kill the gang?"
"It is indeed the hand of a few people. They acted for the poor servants of the Qu family and regarded their bloodline as nothing..." The empress dowager's eyes were dark. "However, this matter was concealed from the Lamentation family at the time, but Ji was not concealed. The elders of the clan! After they found out, instead of telling the Ai Jia, they immediately sealed... All the tragedies in the Ai Jia's life and the first emperor's life all began with this event! Otherwise, even if the Ai Jia had been right at that time The first emperor gave birth to a gap, but there may not be no chance to redeem it!!!"
Yun Fenghuang was silent.
From Ji's standpoint, their choice was actually correct.
The infertility of the Empress Dowager cannot be reversed. In this case, even if it is a close relative, it does not mean that it can be resolved by confessing mistakes.
So since the Empress Dowager doesn't know, it's better to conceal it, so, if nothing happens, continue to communicate.
If luck is good, the empress dowager doesn't even know it until she died, so this thing will pass.
Otherwise, who knows what will happen?
It was not a good thing for Ji's reputation as a whole.
"This family has done such a thing." Empress Dowager asked Yun Fenghuang, "In the end, because of the mourning for the family and the first emperor, she gained wealth, and even her family became the first family of the country... You say, is there any reason for this?"
Yun Fenghuang slowly shook his head.
After she assumed that she was the empress dowager, she thought for a while, she felt that if she was the empress dowager, she would also destroy her family! ! !
The Empress Dowager sighed, leaned back, and said tiredly: "Not only does the Aijia want them to die, but the Aijia wants them to die and ruin them, and make the best use of everything... The emperor did a good job. The Aijia is very satisfied."
After a pause, she suddenly laughed to herself and asked, "Do you know, back then...why did the emperor succeed Xiaozong and become the emperor?"
Yun Fenghuang subconsciously said: "Naturally because the orphans and widows are in good control..."
She stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation. This kind of speculation was also the most extensive speculation that Chunjia could be selected at the beginning, and it was very consistent with Ji's position.
But the problem is, judging from the meaning of the words of the Empress Dowager... the candidate for the throne is not Ji, but she!
Shenzong didn't even plan to return the Gongxiang clan. Since the Empress Dowager decided to do this, she didn't even think about where the Ji clan would go, so why bother to find a puppet?
Ordinarily, we should find an older and stable clan who can be alone. It's better to have many fathers and brothers, so that Ji can't handle it, and even the kind that can liquidate Ji just as soon as he becomes the throne?
Is it possible that the empress dowager is worried that her life will be difficult after such an emperor rises to power?
It shouldn't be... Yun Fenghuang said in his heart that because of the master's ability, Shenzong has been pitted for a lifetime, and Shenzong still doesn't know anything, even if his feelings have blinded Shenzong's vigilance, it is enough.
Can Xinjun be her opponent when she first arrived?
Besides, the new monarch is not ignorant, as long as the emperor grandmother does not find fault for him, how can he not be honored and raised in the palace, and save himself in the morning and dusk?
"...Because your majesty was quick to think when he was young, you moved your love for talent?" The queen pondered for a while, and asked tentatively.
The Empress Dowager looked at her with a happy smile: "I just said that you are like Laijia. It seems that you are young, and you still don't have the carefulness of Laijia at your age."
Yun Fenghuang didn't care about this, and said, "How can granddaughter-in-law He De, compare with you?"
They are all dying, a bit competitive, why does she have to compete?
"It's not a day or two for the Ai family's preference for the child of Xiaoqi." The Empress Dowager said leisurely, "You also know that, why can't you just get back to God?"
