Soon Li Shanchang knew what was happening in Jingyang Palace, and in front of the messenger, he promised to speak eloquently, and as soon as the people left, he angrily scolded Guo Hui for being a fool who caused trouble.

Li Cunyi asked puzzledly: "If we can really find evidence of the secret collusion between the Ma family and the Daoyan monk, can't we impeach the Ma family for going out of the wall and not abiding by the women's way?"

"Secret tunes, she came up with it. Li Shanchang said disdainfully: "She called the person into the palace, and the Ma family and the Daoyan monk met in her Jingyang Palace, and she didn't put herself in if there was really something." This woman doesn't have a lot of brains to do things, and her eyes will only fall on the private affairs of men and women, one will say that Ma is with Tang He, and the other will say that Ma is with Daoyan, alas, a stupid woman with mouse eyes! No, I have to let the emperor speed up the selection of concubines and arrange our people into the palace, I really don't want to cooperate with this stupid woman anymore. ”

"Concubine Hui is very serious, maybe these two people really have something to do?" Li Cunyi's eyes flashed with excitement, the queen had a personal relationship with the monk, this thing is exciting to think about.

"Are you stupid?" Li Shanchang glared at him, "One of them travels all over the world, the other lives in the harem, and the two of them can't even see each other, how can they secretly communicate with each other?"

Li Cunyi argued unconvinced: "But Concubine Hui said that the two were childhood sweethearts when they were in Suzhou. ”

"At that time, the Ma family was not married, and the emperor was not married, so the Ma family couldn't make a few friends before meeting the emperor? If you accuse the Ma family of going out of the wall, it will only make people laugh and even anger the emperor. Ma ignored himself several times to save the emperor, and the emperor trusted her very much. We can criticize Ma for being jealous or saying that she is vicious, but we must not say that she does not abide by women's morals. Li Shanchang paused and continued: "Monk Daoyan is proficient in the studies of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and soldiers, and has many friendships with Jiangnan scribes, and is quite prestigious among the people. Besides, Wuxing Yao's family is the first prestigious family, even if Daoyan is a monk, he is still a child of the Yao family. You can offend so many people at the same time, can you weigh it yourself?"

Thinking about the scene of being scolded and accused by people all over the world, Li Cunyi couldn't help but shudder, and asked unwillingly: "This monk can't move?"

"Unless there is real evidence or wait until the emperor suppresses the clan gate, I advise you not to think about it. Which of these century-old clans is not rooted in branches, with profound heritage, and the hidden power is even stronger than the royal family, and even the emperor has to treat his people politely when he sees them. You can see the emperor's attitude towards the descendants of Confucius this time, although he did not allow the literati to respect Confucianism alone, and faintly devalued the status of Confucius, on the surface, he still gave great respect to the suzerain of Confucius, and named the descendants of Confucius hereditary title Yan Shenggong. Li Shanchang sighed and looked at Li Cunyi, "The emperor doesn't dare to shake the big family easily, do you still want to touch it?"

Li Cunyi naturally gave up the idea of confronting the hundred-year-old clan, and sighed with half envy and half jealousy: "I don't know what this Dao Yan thinks, with such a good family background, he went to be a monk." ”

Li Shanchang also sighed: "Educate the children of the clan well, and hope that our clan can become a family in a hundred years." ”

"With your eldest brother here, are you afraid that our Li family will not prosper in the future?"

"Alas, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the emperor is becoming more and more arbitrary, you and I should be careful. ”

Just as the two brothers sighed, Ma Xiuying returned to Kunning Palace, and the palace people spread the word that Li Qi'er asked to see her.

Ma Xiuying guessed that Li Qi'er must have come for Daoyan, after all, there was such a big movement in Jingyang Palace, and the concubines who were a little eary almost found out the news. But she was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to Li Qi'er about Dao Yan anymore, so she asked Xunying to send Li Qi'er away.

After a while, Xun Ying came to reply: "Concubine Qi has been asking about Master Daoyan's situation, and also asked why the master didn't severely punish those palace people who framed Master Daoyan. ”

Ma Xiuying sneered, "Do you still want her to teach her when doing things in this palace?" This Li Qi'er is becoming more and more incomprehensible, let her copy a few scriptures and calm down. ”

"She is also worried about Master Daoyan, and if she cares, she will be chaotic. Xun Ying couldn't help but say a good word for Li Qi'er, in her opinion, as long as it is for the sake of Taoism, the person is on her side.

"You are different from her, she is the imperial concubine, she is not out of the cabinet yet?" Ma Xiuying lowered her eyes and sighed, "If she can think clearly about what I mean, she can understand that I am helping her or not harming her, if she can't think clearly, sooner or later she will get into trouble, Concubine Hui can't deal with me, can't she deal with her?"

"Is the master saying that Concubine Hui still refuses to give up?"

"Do you think people like Concubine Hui will give up easily? She's just afraid that she won't want to deal with me and the people around me all the time. ”

"In that case, why did the master easily let those palace people go? at least he should give Concubine Hui a warning?"

"It's not that I don't want to clean them up, it's that I can't. Ma Xiuying sighed again, "Do you think Dao Yan will really assassinate Concubine Hui?"

Xun Ying exclaimed: "How is it possible? Master Daoyan and Concubine Hui have no grievances, and he was summoned by Concubine Hui when he entered the palace." If he really wants to assassinate Concubine Hui, I'm afraid that Concubine Hui won't have a chance to speak. ”

It's not that Xun Ying looks down on Guo Hui and her palace people, but Xun Ying knows Dao Yan's skills too well, so close, if Dao Yan really wants to assassinate Guo Hui, it will be easy, how can Guo Hui still be alive and round to accuse.

Ma Xiuying asked calmly: "I also know it's impossible, but what if you are the emperor?"

"This ......" Xun Ying was speechless, standing in her position, Dao Yan was her eldest brother Yao, and he was the person she trusted. But from Zhu Yuanzhang's standpoint, Dao Yan is just a stranger, and Zhu Yuanzhang should probably trust his concubine more.

"Concubine Hui must have said something unfavorable to me in front of Dao Yan, so she will be nervous when I want to arrest someone and go to the Zongren Mansion. But the emperor didn't have these concerns, if he heard that someone was trying to assassinate his concubine, he might not even try it, and he would directly give Dao Yan death. What's more, there is a Yao family behind Dao Yan, in order to suppress the gate valve family, even if the emperor knows that Concubine Hui is lying, he will take advantage of the situation to slaughter the Yao family, and at most push Concubine Hui out afterwards to take the blame. Ma Xiuyingfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said coldly: "The emperor can not care about Concubine Hui, but I can't care about Dao Yan, for the sake of Dao Yan, I can only turn big things into small things, and small things into nothing." ”

Xun Ying was dumbfounded when she heard this, "Alas, I didn't expect that this matter would involve so many doorways. ”

Ma Xiuying glanced at her, "There is nothing trivial about the royal family, maybe the dream words you say when you sleep can make people guess for a long time." ”

"Slaves never talk in their dreams. Xun Ying quickly covered her mouth.
