The palace maid held a wooden bucket in her hand and kept sprinkling blood around the corner. Within a moment, Fengyi Palace was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.
"Stop it, stop it quickly!" the Queen of the Palace shouted angrily: "Here comes someone, I will kick them all out."
!”
After he finished speaking, no one came forward.
The Queen Palace's heart was rising and falling with anger, and she glared at Chu Yunning displeasedly: "Chu Yunning, are you going to rebel? Why don't you please stop me!"
The people present seemed to have not heard anything and continued to go their own way. The monks sat on the ground, each holding a wooden fish and banging on it.
"Queen, please calm down. I am just doing this for the sake of the peace of the harem. I have no choice but to do this." Chu Yunning stepped forward with a smile on her face, pretending to be surprised: "What's wrong, my queen? Is the old illness relapsing?"
The queen of the palace said with a cold face: "You are so brave, you dare to mess around in Fengyi Palace, do you take me seriously?"
"The Queen must have heard that Fengyi Palace was haunted last night. I was worried that some people would be frightened, so I asked someone to calm down the matter."
Seeing the gloomy expression on the Queen's face, Chu Yunning was secretly relieved.
The Empress of the Palace sneered again and again and said disdainfully: "Are you worthy?"
"I hold the phoenix seal in my hand, and I have the obligation to share the emperor's worries."
The words made the queen of the palace turn pale, angry and angry, but there was nothing she could do about Chu Yunning. She watched the Fengyi Palace destroyed in a mess. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. A sweet taste came out of her throat and she bit it.
Teeth swallowed.
Having the Phoenix Seal taken away is a shame for the Queen.
The Queen of the Palace clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, turned around and returned to the palace to let the noise in her ears go. The vermilion door was tightly closed, and the noisy sound of wooden fish reached her ears. The Queen of the Palace frowned in disgust.
"Your Majesty, we can't let Chu Shang Palace bully us. We have to find a way." said the female official.
The Queen of the Palace closed her eyes tightly, and there was a fierce look in her eyes: "I have tolerated her again and again, but the Chu family has bullied me again and again. How can this be unreasonable?"
an hour later
"It's not good, the Queen has an old illness and has fainted. Go and call the doctor quickly!"
Chu Yunning sat leisurely under the chair in the corridor and glanced sideways at the female official: "Let the queen wait for a while. After the rituals are completed, I will go and see it in person."
"If it delays the Queen's condition, you can't afford the compensation!"
Chu Yunning nodded when he heard the words, and slowly stood up and was about to enter the palace. The female officer stopped him and said, "The Queen cannot trust Chu Shang Palace, so she asked Dr. Li to come for consultation."
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. Your bodyguard knows best. Doctor Li is not on duty today. No one from Fengyi Palace can leave for any reason until the haunting is resolved."
Chu Yunning's voice was so loud that it reached Empress Gong's ears. Empress Gong was so angry that she almost got up from the collapse to confront her.
"Go and ask your Majesty, do you still need a consultation?"
The female officer couldn't leave, so she stomped her feet and went in again, never coming out again.
The ritual was carried out for two full hours before it was over. Chu Yunning left the two of them to take turns guarding Fengyi Palace.
The rituals were held for three consecutive days, and there were rumors that evil spirits had entered Fengyi Palace. Strange sounds could always be heard in the middle of the night.
On the third day, the setting sun was like fire, and the clouds on the horizon were like a fiery red phoenix. It was gorgeous and colorful. After a moment, the scene of the phoenix weeping blood appeared, and it fell towards Fengyi Palace.
"The phoenix weeps blood, this is a sign of disaster."
"Could the disaster from heaven be related to Fengyi Palace?"
The phoenix weeping blood symbolizes disaster. This scene is like having wings and leaping along the streets. People all over the city are talking about the queen as a bad omen.
Even the civil and military officials believed it and reported the matter one after another.
Emperor Mingwen also didn't expect that Chu Yunning would make such a big fuss about this matter. After leaving the court, he came to Chu Yunning and asked in a deep voice, "Chu Shang Palace, has this matter gone too far?"
"The Emperor knows that the Prime Minister has sent people to build two statues privately, and is also planning to have people build a temple for me to support my statues. How can I afford the Prime Minister to do this?"
Chu Yunning only found out the news this morning and was very angry. Prime Minister Gong was trying to push himself to death.
In this case, don’t let everyone have a good time!
Emperor Mingwen laughed angrily at Chu Yunning: "Isn't it bad to eat human incense?"
When Chu Yunning heard this, he looked at Emperor Mingwen strangely, with a strange look on his face. He wanted to curse but swallowed it back: "I'm so ashamed..."
"honestly."
"Water can carry a boat but also capsize it. I am worried that I will be scolded to death in the future. There will be no place for me in this world."
The Prime Minister's flattery is indeed very clever. If it is not stopped in time, she will be the next one to be kidnapped by morality.
Who allowed her to open so many shops?
When the people recognize you as a living Bodhisattva, they will become accustomed to unconditional gifts. If you fail to achieve this, the abuse and accusations that will follow will be endless.
Chu Yunning must stop the Prime Minister in time before he can take the next step.
"You cherish your life very much." Emperor Mingwen changed the topic and asked: "Then what should you plan for the next step? You can't really kill the queen, right?"
"What are you saying, Your Majesty? I have bet on the Chu family and the Prime Minister. As long as the Prime Minister is willing to restrain herself, how can I dare to embarrass the mother of a country?"
If the Prime Minister Gong refuses to restrain himself, then Chu Yun Ning will not easily spare the Queen Gong, and will also take the Gong family along with her.
Injuring the enemy by one thousand and hurting herself by eight hundred, she did not believe that the Prime Minister would abandon the Queen and ignore her.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has a sister who is twenty-eight years old and has a beautiful appearance. If she can come to accompany the Queen, I believe that the Queen's condition will improve faster."
Emperor Mingwen's face darkened when he heard this: "Chu Yunning, are you sure that I will summon you today?"
"I don't dare, I just happened to be summoned by the emperor before I met him." Chu Yunning blinked, looking innocent.
Emperor Mingwen snorted coldly: "Go down."
"What about Miss Gong Er?"
The Prime Minister is proud of his two daughters. The eldest daughter is the queen of the palace, and the younger daughter is smart and smart. She is hidden at home by the Prime Minister and does not show up easily. This is to prevent anyone from attacking the second Miss Gong. Chu Yunning also tried many methods
Only after asking around did I find out about the existence of Miss Gong Er.
"allow!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Yunning thanked him.
Half an hour later, the second young lady from the harem was brought into the palace to accompany the queen. When the queen saw her sister, she was surprised and said: "Sister, now is not the time for you to enter the palace. I am fine..."
"Your Majesty, the second young lady is entering the palace on orders." the palace maid said.
After hearing this, the Queen's face immediately darkened, and she grabbed the second Miss Gong's hand and said, "I will go and beg the Emperor to let you leave the palace."
"Eldest sister, it's too late." Miss Gong's eyes turned red, and she comforted the queen: "When I enter the palace this time, the emperor will never let me leave easily."
"I don't believe it!" The empress did not give up. She could enter the palace alone. She should not let her younger sister enter the palace too. She took the second lady of the palace to find Emperor Mingwen, but was stopped by Eunuch Mo on the way.
When Eunuch Mo saw the queen, he subconsciously took two steps back. He was frightened by the queen. He remembered what he was here for, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has a decree."
Helpless, the Queen had to kneel down and accept the imperial edict.
"From now on, I canonize Gong Yuanyuan as Yuan Noble Concubine, and grant her residence in Fengyi Palace, along with the Queen's companions. I express my gratitude to you."
"My sister is just here to accompany me, how can the emperor make her a concubine?" The queen was desperate.
Eunuch Mo said: "I don't dare to guess the emperor's will. However, the emperor has said that your concubine must accompany the queen well and comfort the queen. You must not let the queen get angry, otherwise it will chill the emperor's heart."
Gong Yuanyuan accepted the order with a complicated expression.
After Eunuch Mo left, Gong Yuanyuan supported Queen Gong: "Eldest sister, I'd better write a letter to my father as soon as possible and ask him not to do anything else on the grounds of Chu Yunning."
The queen looked unwilling.
"Eldest sister, why don't you understand? If there is no heir in the palace, the emperor will never punish Chu Yunning to death. My father has taken too many risks this time. By praising Chu Yunning, isn't it just belittling the emperor's incompetence?"
When Gong Yuanyuan knew about this, she disapproved of it. Unfortunately, Queen Gong went her own way and didn't take her words seriously.
The Queen suddenly woke up.
"Sister, you shouldn't target Chu Yunning. Chu Yunning is just a peaceful abandoned woman. Sooner or later, she will leave the harem. All you have to do is wait." Gong Yuanyuan had to admit that Chu Yunning was indeed very smart.
"How long will it take for me to become a queen?"
"Eldest sister, if it wasn't for the Emperor's permission, how could I have entered the palace, and how could the Phoenix Seal in your hand be taken away? The Emperor is already afraid of the Gong family. If you don't calm down, the most serious consequence will be that the Emperor will be childless.
To depose you!"
The word "deposed" deeply shocked the queen and made her unable to recover for a long time.
Empress Gong also wanted to reconcile with Chu Yunning more than once, but every time there was a conflict of interest, causing her to have to confront Chu Yunning again.
But every time the Queen fell behind.
"One day without the support of the emperor, Chu Yunning will be nothing." Gong Yuanyuan sighed, feeling a little annoyed in her heart. If she was the eldest daughter, and she was the one sitting on the position of queen at this moment, how could she force herself to do this?
?
The empress closed her eyes and took a deep breath, asking her to let Chu Yunning go, but she couldn't do it!
"Eldest sister, calm down. You are the queen. No matter who becomes the crown prince in the future, you will be the legitimate mother. What the eldest sister is fighting for now is the heir, not the anger." Gong Yuanyuan said again: "Who is targeting Chu Yun at this time?
Ning, even if you are targeting the emperor's heir, how can the emperor forgive you? In other words, without Chu Yun Ning, the emperor's throne may not be secure."
These words touched the heart of the Queen of the Palace. Chu Yunning's medical skills were indeed very strong. If it weren't for her, there would be no concubine in the palace who would be pregnant with an heir.
The heir cannot be safely established, and no one can tell what the future will be like.
"I know this, and I will send someone to report to my father as fast as possible."
…
When the Prime Minister received the letter, his eyes widened. He had gone through so much trouble to turn Chu Yun into a celebrity, but to stop now would be to fail.
Two girls from the Gong family entered the palace, and the Queen was burdened with an unknown reputation. The Prime Minister now also felt like being persecuted.
In desperation, I had no choice but to stop.
Overnight, the words "Chu Yunning" seemed to disappear from the world, and were replaced by words praising Emperor Mingwen as a wise king.
The statue was also changed overnight to Emperor Mingwen.
Suddenly Emperor Mingwen became famous and became a good emperor among the people.
In the early days of the court, Emperor Mingwen was highly praised by the civil and military officials. He was in a good mood and privately rewarded Chu Yunning with a box of Dongzhu.
"Miss, Concubine Yuan is here to visit." Bixiu said.
Chu Yunning hesitated for a moment. Yuan Guifei came to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing and came to see him so quickly. She shouldn't be declaring war.
"Please come in."
"yes."
Yuan Guifei was dressed very delicately and was not high-profile at all. She had a soft smile on her face and looked like a gentle woman.
"Your concubine Yuan." Chu Yunning saluted.
Concubine Yuan Gui immediately helped Chu Yunning stand up and smiled gently: "Chu Shanggong doesn't need to be polite and interrupts rashly. Please don't take offense, Shanggong."
"How dare you? I wonder if your concubine is here, what orders do you have?" In just a few sentences, Chu Yunning became more cautious about concubine Yuan.
"Chu Shanggong, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of the eldest sister. I also ask Chu Shanggong to be generous and turn conflicts into friendship." Concubine Yuan Guifei added: "The eldest sister was confused for a moment, and to embarrass Chu Shanggong is not to embarrass the emperor.
.”
Chu Yunning smiled slightly but did not answer.
"Secondly, I would like to thank Chu Shang Palace for eldest sister's help in managing the harem, which has saved eldest sister a lot of trouble. It's really hard work."
"Doing what you are told is not considered hard work."
"I didn't bring any gifts when I came here for the first time. This is a folk thing for the children. Please don't dislike it, Chu Shang Palace."
Concubine Yuan Gui took a kaleidoscope from the maid behind her and handed it to Chu Yunning. Chu Yunning raised an eyebrow but did not take it.
"Chu Shanggong doesn't need to think too much. As a mother, you are strong. The Gong family will never take the attention of the prince. If you have different views, you don't want to conspire with each other. Why should the two families be tit for tat."
Concubine Yuan Gui put the kaleidoscope into Chu Yunning's hand, and before she could refuse, she slowly stood up and prepared to leave.
"Concubine Yuan, please stay!"
Chu Yunning stepped forward and stopped her: "I have no intention of going against anyone. I just want to wait quietly for the little prince to land, and then take the prince to Shu in the future. If your concubine can persuade the queen to let go of her worries, everyone will
Everything is fine. If it touches my bottom line, then I will try my best to drag this person into the water, and no one can think twice about it!"
"Why is Chu Shanggong doing this?" Concubine Yuan Gui breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seems that her guess was right. Chu Yunning really wanted to leave the palace and was not afraid of being a threat at all.
Yuan Guifei thought for a while and then said: "Chu Shanggong, I wonder if my eldest sister's body has a chance to conceive?"
"The Queen is only twenty-six years old and is in good health. If she takes good care of herself, she will definitely have a chance of getting pregnant."
The queen can conceive, and the concubine can conceive, but it is a pity that the source cannot conceive, and it will not help if she goes through all kinds of troubles.
Chu Yunning could not guarantee whether he could give the queen an heir. This was up to Emperor Mingwen. He could have many bastards, but heirs must be cautious.
Concubine Yuan wanted to ask more, but Chu Yunning said: "If the Queen is favored by the Holy Spirit, she will become pregnant sooner or later. If she is not favored, there is no point in taking more tonics. Taking too much supplement is a bad thing."
.”
After hearing this, Concubine Yuan glanced at Chu Yunning thoughtfully and smiled slightly: "Thank you Chu Shanggong for your guidance. I don't understand many things when I first entered the harem. I will ask Chu Shanggong for your guidance in the future."
