Chapter 157 The Puppet Empress (Fifty)

"Toffee, do we still have to go to Wenxiang Mansion?"

Zhen Ji looked up at the magnificent golden plaque in front of her, and raised the corner of her mouth, "This Wenxiang Mansion is glittering with gold, but it's a way to attract money. Wouldn't it be a pity not to go there?"

At the door were two lively lions baring their teeth, and two guards with stern faces, seeing that it was Zhen Ji, hurriedly saluted and informed Wen Xiang that the nobleman was coming.

Prime Minister Wen hurried over to greet him, and Zhen Ji was very amused when she saw how complimentary he was.

"Wenxiang, your behavior is not much more amiable than before."

Wen Xiang smiled and asked his servants to serve tea, and it was good tea. "The concubine was joking, today is different from the past, otherwise, how could the concubine come to Wen Xiang's house in person? Everyone knows that your majesty is afraid of King Yi, but It is not possible for now. But if one day the wings are full, the concubine will definitely know the result better than the minister."

"Wenxiang is very interesting. I heard that you gathered all the officials to remonstrate with His Majesty in the court hall, just for the sake of the palace. After all, Your Majesty is young and arrogant. If you persecute her like this, don't you offend Shengyan? Or is it about Wen?" Do you want to follow in the footsteps of the regent?"

"The concubine's words are wrong. The minister is only for your majesty's country. If your majesty really can't give birth to an heir for the Jin Dynasty, then my Jin Dynasty is a great country with no successors. Since ancient times, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest is to have no descendants. The tranquility of the harem is related to the stability of the court, so as a subject, it is natural to tell His Majesty. You can tell everything you want.” Wen Xiang stroked his long beard with a righteous face, and he spoke with arrogance.

"This harem is like a fake, everyone must know about it." After Zhen Ji finished speaking, she asked Ruyi to present something covered with silk.

Wen Xiang was surprised, "This is?"

Under Zhen Ji's gesture, when Ruyi opened it, she saw that it was a phoenix crown that was overpowering. The golden phoenix made of pure gold is imposing, with a proud head and flapping wings, it is the legendary "Phoenix on fly".This is the legendary phoenix crown on the head of the founding queen of the former dynasty. It is unique, implying that the phoenix comes to the world and shares the world with the emperor.Since the founding queen passed away, she was buried together with her, and there was no further information after that.

How did this legendary thing fall into Zhen Ji's hands?
"Presumably Wen Xiang knows this allusion. This is just a replica. It took me a long time to find the descendants of this craftsman, and it took a lot of hard work to create it." Zhen Ji saw the other party. With an amazed look in his eyes, he immediately said, "I want to give this thing to the daughter-in-law of the emperor. What do you think of the emperor?"

Wen Xiang was startled, and thought again and again: "King Yi has outstanding abilities, he cares about the people, and is loved by all believers. He is also clean and self-sufficient, and he is a good husband-in-law that the noble daughters of the capital want to marry. It is a pity that I have no daughters of similar age, otherwise... ..."

"Why should Prime Minister Wen be too modest? The daughter of Prime Minister Wen, the current concubine Wen is a role model for my future daughter-in-law."

"If King Yi had been born a few years earlier, maybe..."

Regarding Wen Xiang's test, Zhen Ji said meaningfully: "Why should Wen Xiang stick to etiquette? Wen Xiang is a smart man, so I don't need to say more." Then she asked Ruyi to hand the things to Wen Xiang.

At this time, Wen Xiang felt that the phoenix crown in his hand was worth a thousand pieces of gold, like a hot potato, and he didn't know whether to take it or not.

"Princess Taifei, is it the marriage between Princess Aya and King Yi?"

"Why do you have to say it in the palace? How can the emperors of all dynasties allow princes of foreign blood to inherit the great line? Where does this put the world's trust? No matter how strong the foreign race is, it is just showing off its might in a barren land. How can it be compared with a great country? ?”

Before leaving, Zhen Ji suddenly approached Wen Xiang's ear and said in a mysterious tone: "Your Majesty has only had one maid in many years, and she has not had any children. Maybe your Majesty really doesn't like women. And now he has a close relationship with the second prince-in-law. , often talking late at night in the imperial study, today I went to the princess mansion, and found a surprising thing."

"What's the matter?" Wen Xiang asked in surprise.

"An aunt named Ruyan in Consort Wen's backyard actually looks like His Majesty today!"

When Wen Xiang heard it, his eyeballs seemed to pop out of their sockets.So after Zhen Ji left, she immediately sent someone to investigate and verify.

Ruyi is puzzled why Zhen Ji spends so much time trying to win over Wen Xiang.

"This Wenxiang is an old fox, and his wings have not been damaged at all even through the huge changes in the DPRK. It can be seen that the forces in the DPRK are complicated, and he is smooth and flawless in his affairs. He has many disciples, so he can only win over, not force him. Ben The palace will not give him any way out this time, what do you think of him?" Zhen Ji's face turned pale, "This article is loyal to the Jin State, not His Majesty!"

In the imperial study room, Sima Yan knocked over the pastry delivered by the servant again.

Su Yu was standing outside the hall and couldn't help but frown when she heard the movement inside.

At this time, the maids inside all left in horror, bending down to salute Su Yu.

"What exactly happened?" Su Yu asked, and the palace servants immediately replied that it was because all the officials threatened His Majesty to favor the harem.

As soon as Su Yu entered, he saw a bright-colored young man on the dragon bed with his head downcast. Hearing the noise, he raised his eyes and glanced at himself, "You're here."

"My concubine sees Your Majesty."

Sima Yan snorted coldly, his eyes were full of hostility, "Are you also here to force me?"

Su Yu looked at the lone wolf in front of him, who was trapped in a state of innocence, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, "Actually, since your Majesty is the emperor, why bother bothering others?"

"What if I am not an emperor?"

Su Yu suddenly raised his eyes and looked into the sarcastic face, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is the true Dragon Emperor. He obeys the destiny, so why should he demean himself?"

"According to destiny?" Sima Yan's eyes became more sarcastic, "You are a queen but you did not give birth to a boy and a girl before the Jin Dynasty. What crime should you do?"

Su Yu knelt down slowly, "I, my concubine, deserve to die!"

"You don't deserve to die. I have never favored you. How can there be an heir? It's just that I am surprised. Every 15th day, I pay attention to the queen's bedroom. Do you all know that I am not lucky enough to be with you?"

"My concubine doesn't know."

Seeing that there was a scar on Su Yu's face, the maid beside her cried out in surprise, "Empress, what's wrong with you?"

Su Yu wiped off the blood on his face with his hands indifferently. Seeing the worried expression on the servant girl's face, Su Yu softened his tone and said, "Qing Ling, what happened to the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Qingling looked hesitant, so Su Yu said, "Just say it."

"Yes!" Qing Ling said calmly, "I have carefully inquired about Master Su and Mrs. Su who did enter the palace that year, and they were on the bed of the late emperor. I don't know why the late emperor died suddenly after Master Su and Mrs. Su left the palace. But Mr. Su and Mrs. Su encountered something unexpected."

Su Yu's face was forbearing, her fists were clenched, and her voice was low: "What happens after that?"

"The slave specifically tricked Aunt Man from Chen Palace. That time, the Queen Mother, who is the queen, personally sent someone to escort Mr. Su and Mrs. Su out of the palace."

"Aunt Man? Someone from Princess Zhen's palace?"

Qing Ling nodded. This Aunt Man was originally from the Empress Dowager's Palace, or the Empress Dowager personally arranged her to Chen Palace to take care of Concubine Zhen's daily life.

"Young lady, I feel that the Queen Mother has always loved you so much, so I think it's not that kind of person. I think I must have made a mistake. Or Aunt Man said this on purpose, because her current master is Concubine Zhen, who is now King Yi. The limelight overwhelms His Majesty, this is deliberately causing discord between the emperor and empress, and giving others a handle."

Qing Ling's words were not without reason, Su Yu sighed, "You go out now! I have my own opinion."
