Chapter 27: Palace Secrets

Feng Zhaoyi and Feng Yuan quietly came to the palace of Tuoba Jun's wet nurse Chang. As soon as they entered the door, Feng Zhaoyi backed away.

Mrs. Chang looked at the two of them in confusion, wondering what was going on, but when she saw the sad look on Feng Yuan's face, she vaguely knew that this matter was not trivial.

Seeing that Feng Yuan couldn't stop crying, Mrs. Chang couldn't help but ask: "Feng Yuan, why are you crying? Tell me who bullied you, and I will make the decision for you."

Feng Yuan still couldn't help sobbing. Feng Zhaoyi sighed and said quietly: "Ms. Chang, we two are in charge of the harem, who else dares to bully Feng Yuan? Feng Yuan has something on her mind. She told me just now, and I only know about it. The relationship is of great importance and is beyond the control of you and me, so I will bring Feng Yuan to Lady Chang to discuss countermeasures!"

Mrs. Chang said in surprise: "Why is it so serious? Feng Yuan, don't panic in your heart, tell me quickly!"

Feng Yuan stopped crying and said sadly: "Mother Chang, you have raised King Gaoyang since he was a child and treated him as if he were your own flesh and blood. If King Gaoyang is in trouble, can Empress Chang just sit back and do nothing?"

Chang was shocked: "What? King Gaoyang is in trouble? Don't panic, I will order people to go find King Gaoyang and ask questions."

Feng Yuan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Ms. Chang, please don't tell King Gaoyang that you know about this matter. Feng Yuan said that you should know about it and let Empress Chang make an idea."

Chang was confused and urged Feng Yuan to speak quickly. Feng Yuan took a breath and said slowly: "Ms. Chang, Feng Yuan grew up with King Gaoyang since childhood, and they are as close as brothers and sisters. The current emperor is the uncle of King Gaoyang. The emperor wants to ennoble Feng Yuan as a nobleman, but Feng Yuan is in love with King Gaoyang and really does not want to enter the palace as a concubine."

Mrs. Chang was silent for a long time before she sighed softly and said: "Feng Yuan, when the late emperor and the prince were here, the prince once said that he would like King Gaoyang to marry you in the future. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. The prince died of illness and the late emperor was a thief. He was harmed, and King Gaoyang is also on guard against the current emperor, so there is really nothing he can do to dissuade the emperor from changing his mind."

"Feng Yuan, I know your feelings for King Gaoyang. Unfortunately, God doesn't have your wishes. Since the emperor wants to accept you as his concubine, how can you resist the destiny of heaven and do it? In my opinion, to protect your own safety, Peace, you should accept the imperial decree as your concubine!"

Feng Yuan sobbed softly: "Ms. Chang, although Feng Yuan is a female, she is not a person who covets glory. If the emperor accepts Feng Yuan as his concubine, Feng Yuan will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth for herself, but King Gaoyang is in danger!"

Mrs. Chang was surprised and hurriedly asked Feng Yuan why. Feng Yuan replied: "Ms. Chang, the current emperor ignores the government affairs and Zong Ai is monopolizing power. Zong Ai knows that King Gaoyang is the direct grandson of the late emperor and the eldest son of the late prince. If the world remains unchanged, the person who will succeed the throne in the future will definitely be King Gaoyang, so among the courtiers, most of the courtiers regard it as orthodox that King Gaoyang will succeed the emperor!"

Chang was shocked and said: "Feng Yuan, now that the emperor has ascended the throne, how dare you say such treacherous words? This is a crime against the three clans. Do not make false statements."

Feng Yuan responded in a low voice: "Promise! Feng Yuan should keep the teachings of Madam Chang in mind. However, the matter is serious. I hope Madam Chang will allow Feng Yuan to risk her life to speak out about it!"

Just because she heard Feng Yuan say that this matter involved the life and death of King Gaoyang, Chang, who was concerned about King Gaoyang's safety, nodded silently.

Feng Yuan said: "Mother Chang, the palace loves to kill the emperor and establish a new king. Because of this, the thieves are powerful. Although they know their evil deeds inside and outside the court, they dare to get angry but dare not speak out. Although King Gaoyang has an empty title, he has no power. If he is an important minister in the court, If we join forces to fight against the thieves in the name of making King Gaoyang the emperor, then Zong Ai will be invincible."

"Zong Ai also fully understands this meaning. Therefore, on the one hand, he supports the current emperor, but on the other hand, he deliberately wants to get rid of King Gaoyang. Although the current emperor ascended the throne relying on the power of Zong Ai, he is a kind-hearted person.

, so although he allowed Zong Ai to control the government, he felt uneasy about taking the throne of King Gaoyang himself. Therefore, although the emperor did not grant any real power to King Gaoyang, he still loved him very much."

Chang nodded and expressed deep agreement. Feng Yuan secretly saw Chang's expression, and immediately felt confident in her heart, and continued: "Although the emperor protects King Gaoyang, Zong is afraid of King Gaoyang in his heart and wants to kill him.

In the current imperial court, there have been rumors that court officials are impeaching Zong Ai’s exclusive power.”

"Zong Ai despises the court, and often perverts his orders and kills ministers arbitrarily, making the courtiers angry. It is just because the emperor favors Zong Ai and ignores the affairs of the court, so Zong Ai becomes more arrogant and arrogant. When the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will overflow.

Unfortunately, Feng Yuan heard that the emperor was already wary of Zong Ai and wanted to reduce his power."

"At this delicate moment, if Feng Yuan enters the palace as a concubine, the emperor will be greedy for women, neglect his politics, and lose his ambition. If Zong Ai gets a chance to breathe, he will be murderous to eliminate future troubles. Feng Yuan believes that Zong Ai will

The first thing to do is to get rid of King Gaoyang in order to mourn the loss in the hearts of the courtiers.

I hope that if King Gaoyang is killed and no one of Emperor Taiwu's direct descendants can penetrate the hearts of the courtiers and take the throne, Zong Ai will most likely kill the emperor again and usurp the throne. If his plot succeeds, he will steal the Wei Dynasty with a eunuch.

, then the Wei Dynasty will surely perish."

Chang sat in silence for a long time, then said to Feng Zhaoyi: "Zuo Zhaoyi, what do you think Feng Yuan said?"

Zuo Zhaoyi nodded, agreeing with Feng Yuan's opinion. Mrs. Chang sighed softly and asked, "Feng Yuan, you and Empress Zuo Zhaoyi came to see me, do you have any countermeasures in mind?"

Feng Yuan replied: "Mother Chang, if you want to overcome the above dilemma, you have to ask the two empresses to persuade the Queen Mother to exempt the emperor from the decree of canonizing Feng Yuan as a noble!"

Feng Zhaoyi and Chang looked at each other. They didn't know what Feng Yuan said would help protect King Gaoyang, and they were even more confused. If they encouraged the Queen Mother to say this, and if the emperor was angry, wouldn't King Gaoyang be even more dangerous?

Feng Yuan had already seen what the two empresses were worried about, and quickly said: "Two empresses, this move may seem dangerous, but it is actually the safest. Although the empress dowager has no real power, she is still the nominal master of the harem. Nowadays,

The emperor is still very filial to the empress dowager. If the empress dowager gives the order, the emperor must not forcefully accept Feng Yuan as his concubine."

"Feng Yuan implores the two empresses to come to the Queen Mother. They cannot directly state what Feng Yuan said just now, but tell the Queen Mother that Feng Yuan is a beauty and a disaster. If she becomes a concubine, she may disturb the emperor's heart and be detrimental to the Wei Dynasty."

The two empresses were shocked, especially Feng Zhaoyi who said urgently: "No, Feng Yuan, do you want to sacrifice yourself to protect King Gaoyang?"

Feng Yuan said calmly: "Two empresses, please let me finish explaining the reason. If the two empresses come forward and say that the empress dowager is planning for the Great Wei, she will definitely not agree with Feng Yuan as a concubine. The two empresses will deliberately make people confuse the eunuch Jia.

If there is news in front of Zhou Zhou, Jia Zhou will report the matter secretly to Zong Ai."

"If Zong Ai knew that the emperor wanted to accept me as his concubine, he would have tried his best to stop him. He knew that I was Empress Zhaoyi's niece, and I was favored by Empress Chang. I was also close to the Prince of Gaoyang like a brother and sister. What's more, Feng Yuan had a relationship with Zong Ai.
