As the night deepened, Fang Xiaoyu woke up from her sleep. In the dream, she was in the clouds, and under the clouds, there was the isolated Ye Xici. He seemed to be facing the accusations of thousands of people, and everyone's expression was fierce and vicious, led by Ye Shu, looking at him with almost contempt, each of them full of malice towards him.

And she wanted to jump off the cloud to pull him out of the malice, but she couldn't get close to him anyway. It seemed that she was forced to be a spectator, watching him completely drown in the ill-willedness, but there was nothing she could do.

Fang Xiaoyu suddenly opened his eyes, a little sweat on his forehead.

There was no Ye Xici by her side, no warm hand holding her, and her heart pounded suddenly.

"Explanation. Commentary! Fang Xiaoyu rubbed his forehead and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xie Yu heard Fang Xiaoyu's cry and hurriedly pushed the door into the house.

"Miss, you're awake. But hungry? The slave and maid called the kitchen to prepare the meal. Xie Yu's face didn't seem to be very good, and he was a little worried.

"What about the son?" Fang Xiaoyu got up, put on a thin coat, sat at the table, took the tea handed over by Xie Yu, and took a sip, only then did he feel a little more energetic.

"The prince went to the ancestral hall." The commentary replied.

"Ancestral Hall?" Fang Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, if she was not mistaken, Li Suqing should still be kneeling in the ancestral hall at this time. Did Ye Xi resign from the ancestral hall to humiliate Li Suqing?

"When did the prince go to the ancestral hall?" Fang Xiaoyu asked.

"Back to Miss, the prince left after the young lady fell asleep, and I heard Moji say that the prince had been wandering outside the ancestral hall and had not entered. Do you want the slave to go to check the purpose of the prince's visit to the ancestral hall? The commentary was puzzled.

Because the young lady ordered to keep an eye on the specific movements of Li Suqing's family, Moji has always sent people to follow. After leaving Qingliangyuan, the prince went straight to the ancestral hall, but he didn't go in, just wandered outside the ancestral hall, as if he was monitoring Li Suqing's every move, and he was still there until this moment.

"Not necessarily." Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "What he wants to say, sooner or later." He doesn't want to say it, and it doesn't do any good to know more. ”

Fang smiled and sighed. I don't know why, she used to swear that she didn't care about the secret, but now she wants to know.

She was always a little uneasy, feeling that if this secret was not handled well, it might bring unexpected trouble to Ye Xici. But. Ye Xici worked so hard to keep the secret, and the hesitation and uneasiness every time she mentioned the secret, but it made her unbearable and couldn't bear to persecute it.

"You go and tell the kitchen to prepare the food and heat it up, and then serve it when the prince returns. By the way, call the ink mark in. I have something to ask her.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't bother with Ye Xici's matter anymore, but asked Mo Zhendao: "You go and check the emperor's attitude towards Zhou Guifei recently." ”

Moji replied: "Uncle has already asked the slave maid to check." Recently, the emperor has been very fond of Zhou Guifei, in addition to going to the queen's bedroom on a fixed day, he almost sleeps at Zhou Guifei's place every three or five days. And the emperor also rewarded many rare things from other countries to Zhou Guifei, and even Zhou Xiangfu received a lot of rewards. ”

Fang Xiaoyu held his chin and thought, the emperor's attitude towards Zhou Guifei seemed intimate, but it was a little abnormal.

On weekdays, the emperor is mostly wet with rain and dew, although there is a problem of preference, but he will not often favor one person and ignore others.

The harem was mostly stored to balance the previous dynasty, and behind Zhou Guifei was Zhou Xiang. The emperor needs to be scrupulous, but the other concubines are also from prominent families, if you want to balance the hearts of the ministers of the previous dynasty, you shouldn't just love Zhou Ling alone, not to mention that Zhou Xiang has retired after all, compared to An Zhouxiang's heart, isn't there anyone else who is more worthy of wooing and buying?

Fang Xiaoyu fell into deep thought. The emperor had a strange attitude towards Ye Shucheng, and seemed to intend to beat, but he poured all his favor on his mother, is this an alternative beating stick and then giving a sweet date?

"What about Concubine Mei? How is Mei Guifei lately? What's wrong with her pregnancy? Fang Xiaoyu continued to ask.

"The emperor already knew that Concubine Mei was pregnant. It's just that the hospital is responsible for Mei Guifei's fetus, and occasionally goes to visit Mei Guifei, but on the grounds that Mei Guifei is pregnant and can't have sex, she has not been pampered again. just gave Concubine Mei enough face, and the slave maid thought that the emperor was more in Prime Minister An Mei's heart. Moji paused and continued: "It's just that the slave feels that the emperor doesn't seem to care much about Concubine Mei. Especially knowing the layout of Prime Minister Mei for many years, I am afraid that the emperor has long been guarding against Prime Minister Mei in his heart. ”

"The more you guard against him. The more you should put your mind to Mei Guifei, especially when Mei Guifei is pregnant. But his mind was all on Zhou Guifei's head, and there was really something wrong. Fang Xiaoyu's eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and he said in his heart that the emperor was afraid that he was really suspicious of Zhou Ling. Such an honor is not so much a favor as a killing.

There has never been a shortage of jealous and fighting women in the harem, and the emperor is a smart person, in the past, even if he was a concubine or a concubine, he would not only be a concubine, but now he lives in Zhou Guifei's palace almost every day, which really makes people have to care about his purpose.

On the one hand, he suppressed Ye Shucheng, and on the other hand, he favored Zhou Guifei alone, what kind of medicine is sold in the emperor's gourd, I am afraid that it is difficult for outsiders to know the truth except for himself.

However, Fang Xiaoyu doubted whether the emperor doubted the true identities of Zhou Ling and Ye Shucheng.

When she said that, although she didn't mention that Zhou Ling and Ye Shucheng might be the spies of the Great Zhou, she also gave a lot of hints.

The reason why the emperor is the emperor is because the whole world is not the king's land, and what happened in the palace is one acre and three points of land, as long as he has the heart to investigate, it is difficult to hide it from him.

Zhou Guifei may have hidden it well, but if she didn't suspect it in that direction on weekdays, she could really fool her. It's scary, I'm afraid that if someone can't stand it and have the heart to investigate, it may reveal a lot of clues.

Even the fifth prince can find out the truth of the matter, although he has Princess An's brown paper as a clue. However, she once reminded the emperor that the poison of 'forgetting worries' in him was the same as the poison in Princess An.

If you take this as the focus of careful investigation, it is easy to find out Li Suqing's body, and Li Suqing is the adopted daughter of Jian Zhengyan and his wife, and the nominal sister of Princess An Jian An, although not many people know about it, Jian Zhengyan did not raise her in Jian Mansion at the beginning, but placed her in another place, but it is not without a trace.

As long as you understand that Jian An once fell out with Jian Zhengyan and his wife for no reason, even Princess Yu An later refused to take Ye Xi to resign to see Jian Zhengyan and his wife. With Princess An's filial piety, this should not have happened. But it happened, and this is naturally a contradiction.

If you investigate the acquaintance experience of Jian Zhengyan and his wife in detail, it is inevitable that it will not be associated with the fugitive concubine of Hayashu Kingdom. In fact, Fang Xiaoyu once had some vague hints in his words, as long as the emperor heard these hints. It's easy to point the finger at Zhou Guifei and Ye Shucheng.

And most importantly, how many people can poison him in the palace? Except for those close to him who could approach him unsuspectingly, it was simply impossible for anyone else to poison him under heavy guard. So the range is much smaller.

"Miss, there's news from Ke'er. It is said that the antidote to the ice kiss has been found, but it is going to be sent to the five princes? Ink Mark seemed to suddenly remember this, and hurriedly said.

"Can the fifth prince go back to the palace?" Fang Xiaoyu had almost forgotten about the matter of the five princes, so he asked.

"Except for going back to the palace and seeing the emperor a few times, I will go out of the palace and stay in the eldest princess's mansion on weekdays. The eldest princess has mentioned to the emperor that she hopes that the fifth prince can stay in the eldest princess's mansion for a while and sort out some folk anecdotes for her. Inkmark replied.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's a good excuse, my mother likes to read some folk anecdotes on weekdays, but it won't make people suspicious." ”

Fang Xiaoyu thought about it. He asked again: "When he entered the palace, did the emperor suspect it?" ”

"When the five princes entered the palace, our people used internal force to suppress the toxins in his body, so he won't show too much abnormality in a short time. The emperor didn't seem to find anything wrong, but the slave felt that the emperor's own martial arts were not weak, and the young lady had given the emperor the martial arts cheats that the seventh princess had handed over to him, and the emperor's martial arts at this moment were afraid that they could also be ranked first. Even if the emperor can't see it, but there is that person by his side, and the poison on the body of the fifth prince has invaded his limbs and hundreds of remains, so he is afraid that he will not be able to hide it. "Ink marks don't believe the emperor can't see it. Even she could see that the state of the fifth prince was extremely poor. The emperor has that shadow-like secret guard beside him, how can he not see the problem of the five princes.

But he didn't say anything.

This couldn't help but make Mo Ji a little worried, and said, "Miss, you said that the emperor didn't think that the poison on the five princes was caused by us, right?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be." If so. Isn't he suspecting that his eldest sister is committing a plot with us wolves to murder his son? What's more, the poison of the five princes is very deep, unless he doesn't care about his life or death, how can he not make the slightest move? ”

"But the fifth prince has been deeply poisoned, he can see it, how can he not be in a hurry at all?" Ink Marks has been sending people to keep an eye on the movements of the palace, and has not received any news that the emperor has collected the antidote to the ice kiss. Could he really not care about the life or death of the five princes?

"I think. He may have found out what happened to the fifth prince, and the reason why he was relieved that he didn't take action was because he knew that I was looking for an antidote to the ice kiss, after all, I didn't hide it from him. Fang Xiaoyu smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said, "He's really relieved of me." ”

"Go and hand over the antidote to the ice kiss to the fifth prince and tell him that it's time for him to return to the palace." Fang Xiaoyu's eyes sank, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, outside the ancestral hall, Ye Xici was still staring in the direction of the ancestral hall, and the flickering look in his eyes made it impossible to see what he was thinking.

Suddenly, a person sneakily appeared in Ye Xici's sight.

That person's appearance is somewhat similar to him, even his height and figure are a little similar, but his temperament is completely different, and it can be seen at a glance that this person's back belongs to Ye Xiqian, another young master in this palace.

At this time, Ye Xiqian was carrying a small food box in his hand, half-covering it with his sleeve to prevent people from seeing. After looking around and seeing no one around, he pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, stepped into it, and closed the door again.

There was no sunlight in the ancestral hall, so it was a bit dark, and only two faint candles could barely make people see each other's faces.

When Li Suqing saw that it was Ye Xiqian, she immediately looked around nervously, then pulled Ye Xiqian to his side and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”

"Mother, you have not eaten for a day, you must be hungry. Before, the father let people watch, but the son couldn't come, so the mother suffered. Ye Xiqian said with a concerned face.

The expression on Li Suqing's face suddenly softened, and said: "You are a good boy, you can think of your mother, your mother is already very happy." Why would you venture to come? If your father sees it, I am afraid that it will cause you and your mother to suffer together. ”

"Mother, what are you talking about? The mother suffers, and the child feels the same way. Mother don't talk about this, the child brings you some food, and the mother fills her stomach first, and she has the strength to speak. Ye Xiqian opened the food box, put a few dishes and a bowl of rice on the table, and said: "Mother, my son came in a hurry, so I only brought some convenient side dishes, mother don't dislike it, when my mother goes out, my son is ordering a table of good wine and food for you, and I will accompany you to have a few drinks." ”

"You're a good boy." Li Suqing smiled slightly, and then asked, "How is Shilan?" ”

"What else?" Ye Xiqian pursed his lips and seemed to be a little disgusted: "She looked like she was going to die, and asked her to come to see her mother, but she actually said that she didn't dare to come without her father's permission, she was really a white-eyed wolf!" ”

Li Suqing's face suddenly jumped, and Ye Shilan's behavior suddenly made her heart a little colder.

But in fact, Ye Shilan was also very wronged, from beginning to end, Ye Xiqian never mentioned to him about visiting Li Suqing. She is now immersed in all kinds of inexplicable panic, thinking of the words that Fang Xiaoyu said before the tea ceremony on the second day of marriage, plus she has recently gotten a lot of news that makes her very uneasy, she is in a trance, how can she still have the heart to come to the ancestral hall to visit Li Suqing?

"I all complain about Su Hongxi's vixen, if it weren't for her, how could the prince be so indiscriminately punished as a mother!" Li Suqing suddenly said viciously, and inexplicably buckled all the unhappiness on Su Hongsu's head.

Ye Xiqian's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, but he didn't let people notice it, so he regained a concerned look and said: "That Su Hongsilk is not a thing, but so is my mother, why bother with my father?" The father is affectionate to his mother, but for the sake of face, he can't be soft to his mother first. At this time, if the mother gave the father a step down, the father would forgive the mother. As long as he snatched his father's heart back from the vixen, wouldn't it be a trivial matter to clean her up? Why did the mother gamble with her father for a people's daughter, but it made her father even more unhappy? ”

Li Suqing heard some complaints in Ye Xiqian's tone, so she had to sigh and say, "Xiqian, you don't understand. Mother did this, all for you and Shilan. ”

"For me and Shilan?" Ye Xiqian frowned, unable to understand the hidden meaning of his mother's words.

annoyed his father and worked against his father, for him and Shilan? Doesn't she know that if this continues, her father will sooner or later dislike him and Shilan, how can this be for his good? (To be continued.) )
