And even if her family allowed her to enter the palace, it was just to preserve the family and bow to the Huaiyang County Prince. The most important thing is that this kind of consequential matter has only advantages and no disadvantages for the De Fei family, which is in the middle of a tug of war between the royal family and powerful ministers.
The emperor won, and their family had at least one concubine in the palace who could take care of the family. Even with the power of their family, it may not be impossible to use any means to push her to a lower position. Even if the emperor loses, what their family abandons is just a chess piece. The biggest loss is just a daughter.
In fact, these aristocratic families are all like this. Just like the Fan family in Xiangyang, once Fan Jian does something that endangers the overall interests of the Fan family, he will give it up without hesitation. You know, although Fan Jian is not the eldest son, he is definitely the legitimate grandson. What's more, it's just a daughter? For them, everything can be discarded in the face of interests.
It's just that their family was very smart at the time, but they didn't expect it. This emperor was very wary of big families like them. After the emperor regained power, although he abolished Huang Qiong's mother, he immediately restored his original wife, who was of low origin. The level of Concubine De was not delayed, and the level was not increased very quickly, but she was always ranked below the Queen.
Although he was temporarily in charge of the Sixth Palace due to the death of the empress, the emperor never stepped into Concubine De's palace again. This made the virtuous concubine who had been obsessed with the vacant position of queen, and even more thinking about supporting her son to the position of prince, how could she not grit her teeth? There was a lot of resentment in my heart. After entering the palace, I was only granted the honorary title of one noble person.
If he had been directly granted the title of queen, and after the emperor regained power, he would have deposed the queen again, wouldn't he have been the first choice? And where would it be the daughter of a humble official to come to the world as a mother? Looking around the original harem, except for the bitch who relied on his father's power to become the queen, who else in the entire harem had a more outstanding family background than himself?
No matter how resentful Concubine De is now, even though Concubine De's family was so powerful back then, they could only seal one nobleman, let alone a woman who was a fifth-rank official? If there is no one involved, it will never be so smooth. After entering the palace, she was named Jieyu. This energy is not ordinary.
I'm afraid that Concubine Shen, from the first meeting with her second brother, whether voluntarily or not, has become a pawn used by others to deal with him. From the few words revealed by King Jing, Huang Qiong even felt that Concubine Shen was more likely to volunteer. As for the reason, I may not know it for the time being.
What makes Huang Qiong a little confused is that he can infer so many things just by relying on King Jing's words. Could it be that King Jing, who had been competing privately with the prince for so many years and never lost, still couldn't see through the article? Could it be that this guy was really carried away by beauty? Or had he thought about it before but didn't want to believe it?
As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, but those who watch are clear. Huang Qiong's words made King Jing, who could feel something was wrong at this moment, turned pale and clenched his fingers. She murmured in disbelief: "No way, Yun'er can't lie to me. No, she likes me so much. She told me more than once that I am the only one in her heart, how could she lie to me? ?”
Seeing King Jing like this, Huang Qiong shook his head and said nothing. Huang Qiong originally thought that King Jing said that he had an affair with Concubine Shen. In addition to the reasons he mentioned, Huang Qiong was more interested in dragging herself into it. I am afraid that my second brother knows all about the things that he stood up for the refugees in Jingzhao Mansion and scolded the clan for the victims in Wende Hall.
He knows his own temperament, even though the two lifetimes before and after are added together, he is already forty years old now. But despite being human in two lifetimes, he has experienced so many things. Especially in this life, the things he has encountered since leaving the palace can even be said to be things he has never experienced in his previous life and the previous eighteen years. But I still haven't completely gotten rid of my sometimes emotional problem.
Although as I become more and more mature, I become less and less emotional as I get older. But I believe that people who have studied themselves will find this weakness in themselves from the way they have handled certain things since leaving the palace. Especially my brothers, who are all like human sperm, I am afraid they are not too unfamiliar with this weakness of mine.
If it's this guy, take advantage of his weakness. Under the guise of taking care of Concubine Shen and her son, it was easy to get herself involved. Once the matter of cuckolding his father and creating an illegitimate child was revealed, Huang Qiong could predict how furious his emperor would be. Even if that child is not his prince, he can still be regarded as his grandson.
Especially since there is a well-intentioned mastermind behind the whole incident. Not to mention anything else, the people around King Jing suffered heavy losses this time, and it was almost impossible for him not to take revenge. This person is vicious in his methods and meticulous in his thinking. He will not ignore the best method and go around the bush to do other things. What's more, he himself is involved in this matter.
There is almost a ready opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, and no one will let it go. That person doesn't even need to take action himself, as long as he leaks the news to some of his brothers, those people will be enough to make him unlucky. Especially the concubine De, who wanted to help her son become the crown prince, she would never give up as long as there was even a little bit of news.
And when the time comes, Concubine Shen and her son will not be able to escape, and I, who doesn't know whether to be an elder brother or an uncle, will not be able to escape either. Even the person behind the scenes doesn't need to come forward personally to do anything, just spreading the matter is enough. Therefore, Huang Qiong always believed that King Jing was taking this matter to force him to fight with the man behind the scenes.
It's not that Huang Qiong deliberately thought people were so bad, it was just that the second brother had been playing tricks with him ever since they met him. If he hadn't come straight to the point, I'm afraid the two of them would still be going around in circles. What's more, Huang Qiong has not forgotten what the old man said in the palace that these four sons are all tigers and wolves.
Huang Qiong did not dare to forget Jia Quan's original evaluation of these princes for even a moment. When dealing with brothers like him, if he doesn't pay attention to every word he says, he will be the one who suffers the consequences. Who can guarantee that King Jing is not taking advantage of his own weakness and the matter entrusted to Concubine Shen and his son to kill two birds with one stone here?
But after listening to his analysis, King Jing made such an expression, which was beyond Huang Qiong's expectation. He really didn't expect that his second brother was really a passionate seed. Even now, I still can't forget about Concubine Shen. Even though I had already pointed it out, I still couldn’t believe it.
However, King Jing's gaffe only lasted for a very short time, and he immediately woke up. After he reacted, he looked at Huang Qiong in front of him and sighed deeply: "I have heard for a long time that Ninth Brother is smart, and today I saw that he is indeed well-deserved. No wonder my father thinks so highly of Ninth Brother. He has been out of the palace for less than a year. , and entrusted him with the great responsibility of commanding troops to deal with one party."
"It's funny that I consider myself to be extremely intelligent. Although I'm not naturally gifted, I am still outstanding among the brothers, but I don't want to be fooled around by others. Although my ninth brother didn't see the situation that year with his own eyes, he With just a few words and a thorough analysis, even that person must have no choice but to be defeated in front of Ninth Brother."
"Judging from this point alone, Second Brother, I have not misjudged the person. Looking at this matter now, it is indeed not as suspicious as usual. If this matter is really judged like this by Ninth Brother, then that person may have arranged the situation long ago. , waiting for me to fall into the trap. I guess so, biological brothers who grew up together, how can they not understand each other's temperaments."
"But how old was that man back then? He seems to be basically the same age as Ninth Brother now. If I hadn't seen Ninth Brother's talent today, I would have killed him to believe that a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old was also He actually had such vicious methods. It seems now that the three of us brothers underestimated him at the beginning."
"For this reason, I can't say anything about asking my ninth brother to take care of the two of them. However, the second brother still wants to say something. If Prince Yong'an is really the second brother's flesh and blood, please ask the ninth brother to be here. Father, please be accommodating. As for Concubine Shen, it will be up to Ninth Brother to save her life."
Having said this, infinite bitterness appeared on King Jing's face. To be honest, the thing is actually just covered with a layer of window paper. Once it is exposed, there will be bloody wounds after opening it. After so many years of relationship, even among ruthless people, once the truth is revealed, it will be difficult to accept it.
What's more, this Concubine Shen may be the only woman who has true feelings for Prince Jing in his life. There are some things that King Jing can't see through his mind. It's just that as a Wengzhong, there are some things that he doesn't have or doesn't dare to think about deliberately. Passionate feelings are always met with ruthless suffering. Even as a prince, those things cannot be put down easily.
Seeing King Jing's miserable face, Huang Qiong shook his head. Huang Qiong, who has had similar experiences of being betrayed and betrayed by the woman he loves most, or even colluding with outsiders to set a trap for him, knows the pain and the feeling it will bring. Although Huang Qiong thought that he had forgotten something.
Huang Qiong, who didn't know how to persuade his second brother, sighed and said: "If Prince Yong'an is not our second brother's flesh and blood, he is also our brother. The father will naturally cherish him, and he does not need any care from the younger brother. . If he is really the second brother’s flesh and blood, he is also the grandson of my father. With my father’s character, even if I hate him to death, I won’t really do anything to him.”
"But Concubine Shen, forgive me for speaking frankly. If this matter is really revealed, Concubine Shen may not escape death. The only thing I can do is to let her die with dignity. Not counting her real background, just If she causes trouble in the palace and has an affair with the prince and has a child, I'm afraid no one can save her. Second brother, don't forget that there is a master who is causing trouble in the palace right now."
After answering King Jing's last request, Huang Qiong stood up and walked to the edge of the tent, looking at the towering mountains not far away. After pondering for a while, he said: "Second brother, speaking of this, I have already agreed to all your requests. However, I also have some questions. I hope that second brother can help answer them."
"Ninth brother, whatever you want to ask, just ask. Now that we have reached this point, your second brother, I have nothing to hide. In fact, there is nothing to hide about those things. As a man who has touched the edge of hell, People, why bother being blamed for others at this time? Anyway, those things have been suppressed in my heart for such a long time and they should be overthrown."
