Feng Ziying didn't want to have anything to do with Yuanchun, but she knew it was inevitable.
The whole family was thrown into prison. For Jia Yuanchun who was still in the palace, as long as she was not completely dead, she could not remain indifferent.
This is not only related to the fate of the entire Jia family, but it is also a touchstone for her own status in the palace.
Even the Jia family has been thrown into prison and has been unable to recover. What qualifications do you, a noble concubine, have to survive in the palace?
If you cannot prove in the shortest possible time that you have the ability to help your family escape guilt, then your "friends and allies" will abandon you, and countless people will want to step on you to get the upper hand, because weakness is the original sin.
Aunt Xue's face was a little pale, she hesitated to speak, and finally whispered: "Ziying, I heard from my sister that there seems to be no news about the eldest lady in the palace for a long time. After I came back from Tienwang Mountain, I heard that those empresses without princes
They were all kept in a claustrophobic state, saying that it was because the princes had to go in and out of the palace frequently, and they were afraid that they would seduce these adult princes and do something dirty and disruptive to the palace..."
"Oh?!" Feng Ziying was surprised. He had never heard of this news, and he knew it from Aunt Xue, which surprised him. "Where did my mother-in-law hear this news? Is it credible?
?”
Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment and then said: "The eldest lady sent Baoqin back when she first came back from Tiewan Mountain, but she only stayed for a while and then left in a hurry. Baoqin told Baoqin that the situation in the palace was not very good.
The eldest girl and several other concubines without princes were suddenly ignored. Even some of the stewards and father-in-law who were relatively friendly with them changed their faces towards them. Later, it was rumored that the palace steward Xia ordered all the concubines to except those with princes.
The concubines and others were sent to a corner of the palace to be imprisoned..."
"Mother-in-law and son-in-law mean where did the news that they were imprisoned come from? This couldn't be because they came back with Qin in their arms, right? Otherwise, how could she come out?" Feng Ziying frowned.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Aunt Xue whispered: "This was reported two days ago by an acquaintance of my brother's palace."
Feng Ziying's heart trembled, Wang Ziteng?
It is not surprising that Wang Ziteng has insiders in the palace. Prince Yi Zhong, Niu Jizong, and Wang Ziteng have long been rebels. How could they not be in the palace?
However, when Emperor Yonglong was around, their cloth might not be able to play much role, but now Emperor Yonglong is unconscious, and looking at this posture, he may not be able to sleep at all, and several princes are restless and fighting endlessly.
, then these people can play a role.
But it was never Aunt Xue’s turn to intervene.
Feng Ziying narrowed her eyes and said calmly: "Mother-in-law, this kind of thing is not trivial. You and I belong to the same family. Do you think my mother-in-law should hide this from her son-in-law?"
Aunt Xue panicked, her fair face turned rosy with anxiety, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "Ziying, that's not what you meant. I don't know whether that person came out of the palace intentionally or not, and found me on Ningrong Street. I
I originally went to my sister's house to leave, but he stopped me, told me something about the eldest girl, and left. I didn't know what he meant, and I didn't even dare to tell my sister."
This was a bit strange. Seeing that Aunt Xue didn't look like she was lying, Feng Ziying glanced at Baochai. Baochai understood and quickly asked: "How did that person know his mother?"
"I've been to your uncle's house several times, and by chance I bumped into him twice, and I got some impressions..." Aunt Xue said hesitantly: "Your uncle even said a few words..."
"A chamberlain in the palace, who is my mother? How could my uncle let my mother meet with him?" Baochai said with a cold face, full of displeasure.
"I don't know what your uncle meant, but he just said hello. The second time we met, he didn't say anything..." Aunt Xue became anxious and glared at her girl. What are you adding at this time?
What's the mess?
Feng Ziying understood some of the meaning.
I'm afraid that Wang Ziteng was already planning something at that time. He and his family were all being watched to death, and the Wang family was also being watched by Long Jinwei in the Jia family. Only Aunt Xue, the Xue family is now
It's just a salted fish, it's of no importance, and there's no need for Lieutenant Long to watch it. But once the situation changes in the future, what will happen if the news from the palace gets out? Maybe Aunt Xue's route is an option.
Especially after Baochai married him, Aunt Xue was regarded as his mother-in-law. Whether it was Long Jinwei or someone from the Ministry of Punishment, he would have to think twice before targeting Aunt Xue.
But there is also a problem here. Does Aunt Xue have enough brains and courage? Can she send a message for Prince Teng?
It is true that she is the daughter of the Wang family, but she has been married a long time ago, and now she has a son and a daughter. Why should she take advantage of the Wang family's fire?
Also, Yuanchun's confinement actually has nothing to do with Wang Ziteng. This kind of news is not what Wang Ziteng wants to know. If he wants Aunt Xue to bring this news to Wang Ziteng, it would feel a bit awkward.
, Could it be that Jia Yuanchun and Wang Ziteng have been linked for a long time?
Feng Ziying didn't believe that Jia Yuanchun was not so unwise. He didn't have a son. He knew that Wang Ziteng had a disobedient heart, but he still wanted to hook up with his uncle behind his back, even if he was his mother.
Uncle, it's not like this.
After thinking for a while, Feng Ziying asked in a gentle tone: "Mother-in-law, since that person found her and said this, he didn't say what his intention was in spreading this message? Or what did the mother-in-law think his purpose was? Has this person ever interacted with her before?
My mother-in-law has met him, my son-in-law means that after the prince left the capital, in places other than the royal residence, my mother-in-law has met this person before and said nothing to him?"
Aunt Xue shook her head in confusion: "I'm not sure, he just hurriedly said a few meaningless words and left. Maybe he wanted me to pass the news to the Jia family? I used to talk to
He hasn’t seen it either..."
Feng Ziying was also a little confused. If Aunt Xue didn't lie, it would be a little strange.
It was a joke to say that he wanted to bring a message to the Jia family. The Jia family had no time to take care of themselves at that time, so what ability did they have to help Yuanchun in the palace?
It would be even more ridiculous to bring a message to Wang Ziteng. If Wang Ziteng would care about such nonsense, could he? That person wouldn't be so stupid.
Feng Ziying thought for a moment and then remembered that she had forgotten to ask who this person was, "Mother-in-law, who is this person and what is his background?"
"It seems that his surname is Zhou. My brother calls him Eunuch Zhou. He is not too old, less than thirty. By the way, it seems that an uncle of his is also in the palace. He is said to be the steward of the east study room..." Xue
Auntie remembers these things quite well.
"Housekeeper?" Feng Ziying was stunned, "Zhou Peisheng?"
The level of the chief executive is much lower than that of Xia Bingzhong and Qiu Shian, but it still depends on how much trust he has in the emperor's mind.
If it is Zhou Peisheng, then he is a very favored eunuch around Emperor Yonglong. In terms of favor and trust alone, I am afraid he is not much inferior to Xia Bingzhong and Qiu Shian, but his qualifications are much worse than Xia Bingzhong and Qiu Shian, and he does not seem to be like
Xia Bingzhong and Qiu Shi'an were characters who already had some status when they were in Emperor Yonglong's residence. He was still unknown when he was in the residence. He was someone who was slowly favored and promoted after Emperor Yonglong ascended the throne.
But Zhou Peisheng was particularly good at observing words and deeds, so Emperor Yonglong liked him very much, so in just a few years he rose from an ordinary chamberlain to the chief steward of the chamber. Feng Ziying also met him several times, and he was close to Feng Ziying, but he did not have many personal relationships.
Aunt Xue glanced at Baochai and said, "I don't know if her name is Zhou Peisheng."
Feng Ziying shook her head, a little unsure. Zhou Peisheng instructed his nephew to come to Aunt Xue to deliver the news that Yuanchun was under house arrest. What did this mean?
Yuanchun had followed Su Lingyao earlier, and later Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinjun also recruited her, probably for their own reasons. Xu Junru must have been caught off guard this time, and they were both locked up. After all, Xu Junru
She is still the imperial concubine, and she still has the final say in the Sixth Palace, not to mention that King Shou is still the "Left Supervisor".
"I understand this." Feng Ziying finally nodded.
It seems that I still have to mix things up with the palace. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. I still think too simplistically.
Coming up with such a bad idea, I am afraid that many people are still dissatisfied. Is this an opportunity to beat yourself up, or is someone trying to take the opportunity to extend an olive branch? Or is it some kind of signal sent by Yuanchun?
Feng Ziying felt that the message conveyed by Zhou Peisheng was very interesting and even had rich connotations. It was not just about Yuanchun, but also about his initiative.
If he was not mistaken, the identity of Zhou Peisheng was very complicated. Did Wang Ziteng draw him in to be a secret agent in the palace, or was Emperor Yonglong instructing him to be a double agent, and he also had something to do with Concubine Guo?
Or maybe he now feels that Emperor Yonglong is hopeless and wants to use his subjective initiative as a chess piece to find a collaborator?
As far as he knew, Zhou Peisheng should have been very close to Guo Qinyun, but now that Prince Gong's momentum has plummeted and he has lost the support of Emperor Yonglong, Prince Gong should have the least hope.
In terms of longevity, there are kings, in terms of virtuousness, there are kings of wealth, and there are also blessings, kings, and kings who are eyeing him. Prince Gong is too young to be ranked at all. Concubine Guo is naturally the most anxious.
Could it be that Concubine Guo gave the order? But will Zhou Peisheng still form an alliance with Guo Qinyun now?
After thinking about it all, my mind is in a mess and I can't sort it out clearly. It seems that I can only know what Zhou Peisheng's intentions are by meeting him.
After sending away Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, Feng Ziying calmed down and thought about it alone. The chaos in the palace now is conceivable. The original plans of all parties were probably disrupted by Emperor Yonglong's sudden coma.
Now he needs to adjust his strategy, re-alliance and win over. Feng Ziying guesses that she must be taken aback by others.
