A heavy cloud of sorrow furrowed between the emperor's eyebrows, and he habitually bent his finger bones and rubbed his eyebrows.

He was thinking.

Ai Xiaoyan quietly waited for the emperor's reply.

The emperor turned his eyebrows and said, "What does Ayan think?" ”

"What do you think?" Ai Xiaoyan was straightforward: "Pingjun must have been framed!" ”

"That can't be ......" Thinking of Pingjun's slippery fetus, he felt distressed, but he was very self-controlled, and still said these three words.

The Emperor's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Alas, the illness has been ......" Ai Xiaoyan sighed, she called the emperor "sick", this name has not been called for a long time, and the emperor was disturbed by this "illness......

He looked at Ayan.

"I'm sick, I know that this time is different from the past, you are now practicing Zuo as the emperor, there are many things that you can do in the past, but you can't do it now...... I understand both. ”

"For example......" The emperor asked her with an eyebrow, a little unable to believe her "realization".

"For example," Ai Xiaoyan said, "as a monarch, you can't just care about the affairs of the harem, the harem will affect the previous dynasty, and Your Majesty must consider whether the courtiers can accept Your Majesty's decision." Is...... Even sometimes the queen mother suffers a great grievance, and Her Majesty can only endure this breath. ”

The emperor looked at her like a heroine.

She is not the Ah Yan she was in her impression.

She knows more about government than Pingjun, or in other words, she is more suitable for palace life than Pingjun.

The emperor admired her a little: "Ayan, I don't want you to see it so thoroughly." ”

"Then what are you going to do?" All she cares about is Pingjun.

The Emperor said, "Ah Yan, I am very grateful to you for telling me this, and before you found out about it, I had already sent someone to investigate. What you doubted, I suspected. ”

Ai Xiaoyan was surprised! He is worthy of being the emperor, and he hides his thoughts so deeply! I have already pursued the truth behind my back, but I don't show my face anymore!

"How much Pingjun has been wronged this time, I know it." The emperor's eyes darkened. He turned his head, his deep eyes gradually empty, and there was a trace of sorrow in his pupils.

It was the sorrow of the emperor. There are some things that he can't do, even if he knows it's right; And some things, even if they are wrong, he has to do them for the sake of the overall situation.

"Did you find out who was behind the scenes?" Ai Xiaoyan did not know how far the emperor had taken control of the situation.

"No," the Emperor shook his head, and added, "I must first know what is going on in the Jiaofang Palace, and I must not act rashly at this time, or I will be alarmed." ”

The king's concerns were well founded.

"That'...... Is there anything Ah Yan can do to help? ”

"No," the emperor shook his head, almost without even thinking about it, and said, "You just have to take care of Pingjun, I am busy with government affairs, and I am really afraid that if I take a nap, Pingjun will suffer again." ”

Ai Xiaoyan nodded: "You don't have to tell your majesty to order, I will naturally take care of everything in the Jiaofang Palace." ”

"Hmm." The emperor said in a deep voice, "I'm tired, Ayan, you ......"

Ai Xiaoyan was very knowledgeable, and even said: "Your Majesty rests, Ayan retires." ”

The Emperor nodded.

She was about to walk out of the main hall of Jianzhang Palace.

The emperor suddenly called out to her: "Ah Yan—"

She turned around: "Your Majesty?" ”

"Ah Yan, I will tell you something again......" The emperor suddenly paused, and said: "I suspect that all the palace ladies in the Jiaofang Palace who look like 'stone girls', they have no letter period, they must be different from ordinary women, most of these people are not in Ye Tingcheng's deployment order, so their identities are naturally very suspicious. I think they must have a secret hidden in them—you go and collect their fallen hair and give it to the Imperial Doctor. I thought that the Imperial Physician Order would give me the answer I wanted. ”

"No—"

A bright light appeared on her face, and it was only then that she realized what the problem was.

Ai Xiaoyan was extremely efficient, and within three days, she presented Jianzhang Palace with a satisfactory answer.

The emperor sat down, and one of them lowered his head and stared in thought, and did not speak for a long time.

"Majesty?" Ai Xiaoyan urged slightly.

The emperor "woke up" a little, looked at Ai Xiaoyan who was standing under His Royal Highness, and said, "Ayan, this is the matter...... What do you say? ”

His fingers flexed slightly, clenched into a fist, and the force gradually tended to the phalanges, and the pinched phalanges also turned white.

He hates.

A treacherous intrigue killed his unborn child alive!

The child may be a little princess, white and tender, with eyebrows and eyes like a flat king. She will grow up and look as gentle as Pingjun.

But no...... This qiē is gone. Before the dream was realized, it was shattered.

The emperor hated it deeply.

"I'm in the same mood as His Majesty. How much I hate, how much I hate! When I received the reply from the Imperial Doctor's order, my heart turned cold to ashes, and those who hid in the shadows were so ruthless! They actually got the idea of the queen mother! They...... Even the high position of the Jiaofang Palace dared to think about it! ”

The hair of the palace maid who was handed over to the imperial doctor for inspection was found to have the ingredient of musk, and it was burned to give it a strong taste. The imperial doctor ordered that if such a large dose is used to infect the medicine, the woman will be infertile for a long time. Those "stone girls" who have no faith period are actually not natural stone girls, and their bodies are mostly damaged by such harmful things.

Judging by the residual aftertaste in the hair, these women will be infertile for life!

It's so vicious. For the sake of harming others, do not hesitate to lose yourself! What kind of ruthless person would come up with such a method!

The emperor rodents.

The Emperor's hand rested on the desk, trembling slightly.

According to his usual temper, once this matter is found out, he will definitely dig into it to the end and find out the culprit! Punish according to the law! But now it's different, he's calm:

"Ayan, I'm not going to startle the snake...... In this matter, I must go to Changmen Palace, and without the approval of Granny Achi, I will never dare to act rashly. ”

Ah Yan bowed. She could understand the king's painstaking efforts, after all, they didn't know who the strange woman with a musky body suddenly appeared in the Jiaofang Palace.

If you act recklessly at this time, I am afraid that I will really shock the mastermind behind it. At that time, this secret will be sunk, and they will never know who harmed Pingjun for eternity!

But in the Jiaofang Palace, the queen can't stay for a long time.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Since the truth of the matter has been half settled, I should have dismissed all the suspicious people in the Jiaofang Palace to ensure that the empress is well-thought." But if you do that, the movement will be too big, and it will definitely startle the snake. At this time, I imagined that it would be enough to move the queen to Jianzhang Palace, and there was an excuse to find it externally, so I said that I missed the queen, and the queen took care of the queen in the Jianzhang Palace, so that I could avoid the pain of running back and forth to see and explore. Ayan, you say it's okay? ”

"This reason is not unreasonable," Ai Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty must go to Nagato Palace as soon as possible to find an idea." The most important thing at the moment is that we have to protect the queen's mother......"

"Yes." A hint of worry flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"'Anther Man'?"

The cyan tea swirls in the cup, and the emperor's timbre is as smooth as tea.

Nagato's afternoon was so quiet and lonely. He likes to stay here, the emperor's eyes of the Changmen Palace, is a secluded place isolated from the world, his mother-in-law will lie on the bench under the porch on a sunny afternoon, listening to the birds and cicadas, sometimes lying down for a long time, until the sun sets on the mountain.

The long gate locked the silent time of the Han Palace.

Granny Ah Chi looked at the emperor, her eyes showed infinite love, and she whispered: "Yes, 'Anther Man', I think this kind of shady thing has come out of the Han Palace...... Kid, how are you going to clean things up? ”

The emperor did not directly answer Ah Chi's mother-in-law's words, he paced in the hall with his hands in his hands, and when he turned back, he stood in front of Ah Chi and asked cautiously: "Mother-in-law, what is this 'anther man'?" ”

"Alas," Ah Chi said to the emperor after a moment's hesitation, "what is this kind of thing...... once made waves in the Han Palace, and didn't want to ...... At this time, it reappeared. After suffering from His Majesty, it didn't take long for Yu Ji to encounter this kind of thing. ”

Facing the suspicious emperor, Ah Chi told the emperor in detail the ins and outs of the "anther man", and the emperor was dumbfounded.

Originally, the incense infiltrated the woman's body, and after a long time, the woman became one with the incense, because this incense has been accumulated over the years, and outsiders can not smell it at all.

In other words, ...... Even if this incense harms and kills people, it is done invisibly.

The Emperor shuddered.

The emperor clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Mother-in-law, I plan to chase it to the end, and the person who makes this medicine is vicious!" I will punish it soon! ”

Ah Chi did not speak.

The emperor was a little surprised. He thought that the jealous and hateful Mother-in-law Ah Chi would definitely echo his "denunciation".

But Ah Chi didn't.

"Mother-in-law Achi?"

Ah Chi shook his head, this soul seemed to have been pulled back by the emperor.

She made an unexpected move!

The elderly Granny Ah Chi was holding on to her crutches, and suddenly lowered her head and fell to her knees in front of the king!

The emperor was so frightened that he bowed his head in a panic to hug her.

Ah Chi is a relative of the Han family, and he is old, and his body is very inconvenient, as early as the Xiaozhao period, the emperor exempted her from the courtesy of facing the king. Since now on the throne, the rules and regulations that do not matter will be inherited from the previous dynasty and will not be changed at all, so Ah Chi's mother-in-law naturally does not have to make any big gifts. Moreover, she is a great benefactor who helped Emperor Liu Xun ascend the throne to the throne, and the emperor remembers the old favor and respects her very much, so he naturally refuses to accept her dragging her old body to make a big salute.

At this moment, Granny Chi's actions really frightened the emperor.

"The old body refuses to get up, and begs the king not to force it anymore." Ah Chi lowered his head and sobbed silently.

This time, the emperor was shocked and frightened, and even bent down and knelt in front of Ah Chi: "Mother-in-law? You want to be like this...... It's tormenting me! I will receive a great gift from you, but I will be struck by lightning! ”

Ah Chi lifted his sleeves and silently wiped his tears.

"Mother-in-law, but what is wrong with me? If we are not satisfied with living here, we will move back to the Han Palace! I personally take care of my mother-in-law, and according to my mother-in-law's kindness, I should serve the decoction in return! ”

Ah Chi shook his head: "Your Majesty has always been good for the old body." ”

"Why is that?"

The old woman wept and said sadly: "Your Majesty, if the old body asks you for something, should you not?" ”

Needless to say!

The emperor was very happy, and even said: "Nature is due, nature is due!" Don't say one thing, even if it's ten things, I will definitely do it for my mother-in-law! ”

Since the king has this promise, Ah Chi no longer has any worries. She looked up slowly......

Ah Chi is really old.

The cute little girl in Bolangsha is now an old age. She moved the corners of her wrinkled eyes, looked at the emperor, dragged a slightly hoarse tone, and said: "Your Majesty, the old body begs you, the queen's miscarriage, please...... Please don't pursue it any further. ”

"Why?" The emperor blurted out.

"Because ......" Ah Chi paused, as if he had exhausted the last trace of mental strength, and said: "Because, if this matter is investigated again, there is no winner." It is the one who loses who harms others, and it is also ...... 陛xià! ”

The emperor was stunned, he was looking at Ah Chi, and suddenly saw the tears in Ah Chi's eyes, and he was about to say "impossible", but these three words could no longer be spoken......

Right now, how could he refuse Granny Chi's only request?

The emperor could only ask weakly: "Mother-in-law, why do I ...... Do you have to do this? ”

"Your Majesty knows who is behind the scenes?"

"I don't know."

"But the old body knows!"

The Emperor's eyes widened.

"Just because the old body knew who the murderer was, the old body begged His Majesty to stop tracking it down! Investigate again, not only is it useless for His Majesty and the Queen, but it is even ...... Yu Dahan's Jiangshan Sheji is also useless! ”

Ah Chi's voice trembled slightly.

She's very old after all.

The four words "Jiangshan Sheji" are the best excuse to block the emperor's mouth. He is a Ming Jun, he can ignore his dragon body, but he can never ignore his country.

Ah Chi knew the emperor too well.

"I see."

Ah Chi was so excited that he almost cried, bowed his head, and said, "The old body Xie Majesty is complete!" ”

"I mean," the Emperor gathered sorrow between his brows, "I know who the murderer is. ”

Ah Chi was shocked: "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

"Mother-in-law don't be nervous," the emperor glanced at Ah Chi, "I probably know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, but I'm not sure. ”

"Who is it?"

The emperor exhaled and said, "It must be a powerful minister." ”

Ah Chi was shocked, and his face changed: "How does Your Majesty know?" "Now that she has reached such a point that she doesn't admit it anymore, it doesn't make much sense. But she would never say that name.

His Majesty couldn't know who that name was. Otherwise......

"Mother-in-law, you are too underestimating me." The emperor sighed and said, "Mother-in-law, in this world, I'm afraid that only Pingjun and you are sincere to me." I know your pains-"

I know, so I won't ask for this name.

Never ask.

Just let it be buried in the bottom of your heart and become everyone's secret.

Because once I know, I will punish the ministers.

The emperor is quick to avenge his wife and children, but the Han Dynasty will have one less important minister, and if the emperor punishes him heavily, it will make the court panic all day long, and the monarch and ministers will be separated.

So he couldn't move.

For the sake of the country, I can't move for a while.

This is what Granny Chi means.

Ah Chi will never let the country passed down by Emperor Xiaozhao be ruined in vain.
