As soon as something happened in the palace, Zhong Jieyu's father and brother teamed up with more than a dozen ministers to write to the emperor, demanding severe punishment for Cen Yunchu.
There was a lot of discussion outside the palace. Many people felt that Cen Yunchu was too vicious and would actually murder the emperor's heir.
If this is true, then the entire Cen family will have to be buried with him.
There are even a lot of villains who follow the trend and wish they could immediately separate themselves from the Cen family and never have any contact with each other till death.
Of course, there are also some people who are skeptical about this matter, thinking that it was not Cen Yunchu who did it, but that he had some ulterior motives.
But no matter what, this matter has become a big deal, from the harem to the front court.
I believe it will spread to everyone in a few days.
Compared with the turbulent sky outside, there was not much movement in the harem at this time.
The ambergris soothes the mind, the cloud veil is as thin as cicada wings, and the nanmu bed is as warm as jade.
The best wealth in the world can be seen everywhere in Cen Yunchu's palace, and it is even so common that she never notices it.
Cen Yunchu was lying on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, and the wound on his arm was still aching.
She didn't sleep, she was just resting her mind.
Although Zhong Jieyu hurt her, she didn't blame Zhong Jieyu in her heart.
Knowing that she was just a knife being used and being kept in the dark, Aizi was eager.
Of course, Cen Yunchu also knew that the person behind this was just for him.
Accusing himself of murdering the emperor's heir, he made the world think that he had a vicious heart and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
It was less than three days from the discovery of the Fourth Prince's poisoning to the uproar caused now.
It would be impossible if there was no one behind this.
In fact, both the emperor and Cen Yunchu knew who the person behind it was. Ever since Cen Yunchu entered the palace, that person had been attacking her.
It's just that the confrontation between the two has always been secretive and has never been made public.
Whether it was Cui Ruifei before or Zhong Jieyu now, they were just tools used by that person.
It's just that Cui Ruifei knew it, but Zhong Jieyu didn't.
"Mother, are you feeling better now?" Although Fulan and Linxi were injured, they did not want to leave Cen Yunchu's side no matter what.
This is a critical time. How can my mother-in-law do this without a confidant?
"I'm fine. The wound is shallow. The imperial doctor used medicine again, and there won't even be a scar." Cen Yunchu opened his eyes, his expression as calm as usual.
She didn't feel anything bad when she was injured, but she frightened the people around her.
"Mother, now that this matter has broken out, what should we do?" Linxi couldn't help but worry.
You must know that three people can make a tiger, and a crowd can make gold.
If everyone spreads the word that Cen Yunchu had ulterior motives in plotting to kill the emperor's heir, then many people who don't know right from wrong will believe it to be true.
Even if the emperor protects Cen Yunchu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect him.
After all, the emperor cannot completely ignore the public anger and act his own way.
Otherwise, Emperor Tang Ming would not have concubine Yang Guifei died in Maweipo.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it, and public anger is hard to offend. This is a truth that every emperor understands.
"Yes, my dear, you are pregnant again now, so you must not make any mistakes.
It's better to let Mr. Bai find out the truth as soon as possible so that you can be innocent." Fulan's heart was really in a state of turmoil. What happened today frightened her so much that she didn't even dare to recall the situation at that time.
Cen Yunchu made countless enemies in this palace, both covertly and overtly. It wasn't because she was deliberately evil to others, but because women were prone to jealousy among themselves.
The emperor only favors her, how can the other concubines balance their minds?
Although many people usually compliment Cen Yunchu on the surface, now that this incident has happened, someone will definitely add insult to injury.
Both Fulan and Linxi felt that the current plan should cut through the mess quickly and resolve the matter.
The sooner it is resolved, the sooner it is settled.
One moment later, one moment more danger.
"It's not too urgent, let things continue to cause trouble. Some people want to make things bigger, which is not entirely a bad thing." Cen Yunchu smiled slightly. She was somewhat unwell and a little more sick as she was pregnant for the first time.
On the contrary, it made her even more beautiful.
She and the emperor have already discussed that some things should be stopped as soon as they start to appear, to prevent them from causing even greater disasters.
But for some things, it is better to make the fire burn bigger, so that when the counterattack occurs, the fire will be more intense.
The people behind the scenes have deep roots and cannot be easily shaken.
If this matter is resolved too easily, we must be prepared for subsequent attacks.
Because Cen Yunchu and she have long been in the same boat and cannot be born together.
"You two go down and have a good rest. Don't worry, everything is under my control." Cen Yunchu smiled, "I'll be fine."
"Empress, do you mean that Zhong Jieyu's incident was also expected by you?" Linxi asked with his eyes widened.
Cen Yunchu nodded. If she didn't even expect this, how could she have survived until now?
"Empress, why didn't you tell me earlier? You even kicked out the other people who were waiting on you." Fulan was still frightened.
"If we had told you in advance, Zhong Jieyu would inevitably be on guard and become suspicious. You two can't act the same!" Cen Yunchu smiled, "But one thing I really didn't expect was that she would be so cruel and hurt you two like this.
.”
Before that, the emperor had repeatedly reminded Cen Yunchu to be careful. She agreed on the surface, but she had her own concerns in her heart.
In the face of major events, it is impossible to be overly aggressive.
Even village women understand the principle that "if you are reluctant to give up your children, you will not catch the wolf." How could Cen Yunchu not understand?
"Isn't the empress doing this to make the real culprit behind the scenes relax their vigilance?" Fulan understood, "What's more, the trick is a good way to win people's hearts."
"You are right. If I am not injured today, it will be difficult for people outside to believe that I am really innocent in the future." Cen Yunchu said, "The world only believes in themselves and hears what they see with their own ears, so let them listen and go
Take a good look."
Cen Yunchu wanted to make people think that she was not aware of the matter and was completely framed.
Only in this way can we win more sympathy after the truth is revealed.
And with this lesson in mind, if something happens in the future, people will definitely have doubts in their minds and will not assume that they have done evil from the beginning.
"In this case, it doesn't matter if the slaves are injured or bleed a little." Linxi also smiled, "I'll go down and change the medicine first, and then come back to replace Sister Fulan."
"You, don't smile like that, or you might reveal your secret." Fulan grabbed her, "You ask them to turn on the stove, and I'll cook some porridge for my wife. She's pregnant now and has a bad appetite. She has to eat it every day.
Just eat a few more meals."
Cen Yunchu gently placed his hand on his flat belly, and it turned out that a little human was already conceived there.
The emperor was so happy that he couldn't help himself because of the child's arrival.
This is the child he has been looking forward to day and night. If it weren't for the special circumstances at this time, he doesn't know how he would celebrate.
