When Ye Yichen came in, he didn't call the maid to report, Yulan was very engaged, and for a while, he didn't know that Ye Yichen had come to his side.

Ye Yichen didn't disturb her, but stood aside and looked at her quietly. Yulan was wearing a snow-white middle coat, her dark and thick hair was only loosely tied, fixed with a peach wood hairpin, and there was no ornament on her body. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes focused and serious.

Since she was pregnant with a child, she didn't even wear much jewelry. But in the eyes of the prince, no matter how she dresses up, she is so graceful and moving.

He has seen her charming, cunning, solemn, and serious, and now he finds that she is also very beautiful!

Ye Yichen looked at it for a while before he sat down beside her and snatched the needlework from her hand, "With such a dim light, don't you want eyes?" ”

Yulan was startled at first, but only when he saw clearly that it was Ye Yichen who relaxed. She leaned half of her body on the prince's body, and said angrily: "Why didn't the prince call someone to report when he came, it scared me!" ”

Ye Yichen put the needle and thread on the low table on the side, and said with a smile: "I want to see what you are doing, so I didn't call anyone to report it." ”

Yulan asked him: "Is the prince hungry, do you want to ask the small kitchen to bring some food?" ”

Ye Yichen shook his head: "I'm not hungry, if you're hungry, just ask them to bring food." ”

Yulan winked at him: "Half an hour ago, I just ate a few pieces of pea yellow and a bowl of milk soup!" "For the sake of her children now, although she has no appetite, she has to eat several more meals every day, and every time she eats, it is like eating poison, Ye Yi Chenguang feels very hard when she looks at it.

Ye Yichen felt pity in his heart, his hand rubbed lightly on her back, he only felt very awkward, his heart sank, and his mood suddenly became bad.

Yulan didn't notice it, and said with a smile: "I called the little maid to serve you to freshen up." ”

Soon called the little maid in, Ye Yichen went to the clean room to wash and change clothes, Yulan had already washed up, called Xiaoyu, who was on duty at night, to come in and put away the needle and thread. After a while, Ye Yichen finished washing, put on his middle coat and came out, said "settle down", and hugged Yulan to the bed.

Xiaoyu blew out the lights and quietly retreated to the outer room. Yulan on the couch turned over, facing Ye Yichen's face, and the two of them could smell their breathing. Ye Yichen hugged her body, only to feel that there were bones everywhere, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

When did Yulan lose weight like this. It turns out that although she is also very thin, it is far from that! Thinking of Imperial Physician Gong's words, Ye Yichen only felt panicked in his heart.

Yulan talked to him with or without a match, but he didn't ask about Chengzu and Chengzong. Ye Yichen felt a little strange in his heart. I had to take the initiative to provoke the conversation and say, "You're not worried about Minzhi? ”

Yulan sighed softly: "Naturally, I'm worried. Her voice was very soft and soft: "The third brother and I grew up in a small yard, and we followed our respective aunts, and the monthly silver of the four of us added up to less than ten taels, and they were often deducted. At that time, the old man never went to Lu Jingzhai, and his wife also ignored us, and the degree of food and clothing was often deducted. I remember that once the third brother went to Songhetang to say hello, and the old lady rewarded him with a few pieces of pine nut candy, but he was reluctant to eat it, so he took it back in his hand and gave it back to me to eat...... My third brother and I have the best relationship among all the brothers and sisters! ”

Chengzong is a deep and introverted person, although he has the best relationship with Yulan, but he rarely shows it, and even Ye Yichen doesn't see it.

Ye Yichen remembered the happy appearance of Yulan and Qian's mother when Chengzong High School Xie Yuan, and his heart was enlightened. Yulan rarely told him about family matters, and he could understand it. After all, it was her maiden home, and the eldest lady was so mean that she called him a son-in-law, and Yulan had no face.

In the in-law's house, you have to fight for your mother's family. It's just that now the relationship between them has reached this point, and they have long had nothing to talk about, so Yulan slowly talked to him about some things about his mother's family.

"So when I heard that something like this happened to my third brother, I was really worried...... But I don't dare to worry too much, I'm already sorry for the baby in my belly, I can't be selfish and willful anymore! She stretched out her hand and touched her belly, which was already quite large, and Ye Yichen's big hand also stretched out and pressed on her hand.

Yulan showed a sweet smile. "Besides, I have begged the prince, and the prince has also promised me, I believe in your ability, you can defend Beijing City with the defeat of the remnants, repel the combined forces of the Tuwu and Jurchen, and kill Zuo Yan with a counter-plot, you can pacify the civil unrest in the northwest, this little thing should not be difficult for you. What's more, I believe that since you promised me, you will definitely do it for me, and I have confidence in you! ”

Her tone was very sincere, and Ye Yichen's heart flowed with a faint warmth.

He assured her: "Don't worry, third uncle, I won't let him suffer!" ”

Yulan snorted and leaned against him, "I believe you!" ”

Ye Yichen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "If I knew that Lu Dao was like this, I shouldn't be so anxious to get you pregnant." Take care of your body and get pregnant again. "He is a three-year-old man, and he has only one son under his knees, and the rate of children dying in this era is so high, he is a little anxious.

Yulan smiled and said to him: "This shows that this child is destined for us." If you get pregnant again after a while, that child will not be this child! I have been pregnant with him for so long, and although I have suffered a lot of sins and suffering, I have never regretted it. As a mother, it is worth doing for your children! ”

discussed the child's affairs with Ye Yichen with great interest. What is the name, how to raise boys, and how to raise girls.

After talking for a while, Yulan fell asleep in a daze.

I got the news in less than two days. Yu Shi Huasong wrote a letter and impeached the deputy examiner Jiang Zhengfeng for accepting bribes.

Ye Yichen got the news in the morning, and in the afternoon, everyone in the capital knew about it. Chengzong is okay, but the eldest wife and the second wife are a little uncontrollable. I came to Yulan here to inquire about the news.

Mother Qian felt sorry for Yulan, and the princess finally raised a little better. The eldest wife and the second wife came to talk about these bad things again, and Yulan saw them once last time, and they were unenergetic for several days. One is a grandmother and the other is an aunt, if Yulan is gone, an unfilial hat will be buttoned down, and no one will be able to bear it.

I had to lead the way in front of her, and at the same time knock on the side and say, "The princess is worried about the affairs of the eldest young master and the third young master, she has not been able to eat and sleep well recently, and the doctor told her to rest more, and she must not be tired." "Huaixiang has always been bad, the doctor told him to recuperate, and on weekdays, the princess's wife asks to see her, but I never see it." And so on.

The eldest lady was angry in her heart, in the past, Mother Qian was nothing in her eyes, but now that she has entered the palace, her mother who has become the housekeeper of the main courtyard is also trembling? The eldest lady wanted to scold her, but when she remembered Ye Yichen's cold face, she endured it.

Although the second wife is spicy, she is reasonable, but when it comes to the future of her eldest son, she can only pretend not to understand.

When I entered the main hospital, I saw Yulan crooked on the clinical kang, and her face was indeed a little unsightly. The eldest lady pressed the anger down. The maids put on the refreshments and retreated, and the eldest lady said, "Didn't you say that my uncle will definitely be able to turn this matter around, so why did this matter go through the sky again?" My uncle is a prince, and it shouldn't be difficult to cut off the excerpts of the imperial history with his connections, right? Could it be that the prince said to help, but he was just perfunctory to us? I said to beg the prince, you persuaded me again and again, it's good to ...... now" looked like he didn't trust Ye Yichen very much.

Yulan said that he believed in Ye Yichen, so he really did the shopkeeper, his ears didn't listen to the things outside the window, and he only came to raise the fetus, and Yushi handed the fold to the front of the emperor, and sued Jiang Zheng that she had just learned from the mouth of the eldest lady.

When the second wife saw that the eldest lady came, she questioned Ye Yichen's "lack of work", for fear that she would mess things up if she said this. explained to Yulan: "Sister-in-law is also worried about Brother Zong'er and Brother Zu'er. Don't take it to heart, niece. It's just that since the matter has come to the front of the palace, does the prince give us a word and give us a bottom, so that we can also feel at ease. The gentlemen in the family are now like headless flies, and our hearts are really bottomless! ”

Yulan smiled wryly. The eldest lady is here to ask the teacher for sin! She is such a temper, Yulan has long understood it, but she is not angry with her.

patiently explained to them: "I can understand the feelings of my mother and second aunt. Even now I am as anxious as you, and we are looking forward to the same thoughts of the eldest brother and the third brother. I never ask the prince about the outside, but I think that since the prince didn't stop this excerpt of the imperial history, there must be his reasons. ”

"Mother and second aunt, please think about it, this matter is boiling, everyone in the streets and alleys knows it, even if the imperial history does not sue, the emperor still has Jinyiwei in his hands, there are East Factory and West Factory, Jinyiwei and the secret agents of the East and West Factory are well known! Such a big thing, can the emperor not know the way? Can the emperor not ask? The prince probably also thinks that this matter can't be hidden from the emperor at all, so it is better not to hide it from him at all, so as not to appear to be weak-hearted. ”

The eldest lady and the second wife were stunned when they heard this. They don't have Yulan's overall view and vision, so naturally they can't think of this, and after listening to Yulan's explanation, they will understand. The emperor may have known about this matter a long time ago, if Ye Yichen stopped the excerpt of the imperial history, maybe it would arouse the emperor's doubts, Ye Yichen and Chengzong are relatives of Uncle Lang, which everyone knows.

Yulan said again: "We have also seen it, the rumors spread so quickly, there must be someone behind them who are fueling the troubles, they are not wearing this rumor to disgust us, they must be in front of the emperor!" We can intercept an excerpt of the imperial history, we can intercept ten or eight excerpts of the imperial history, can we block this leisurely crowd, can we make the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty all silent? Instead of being slandered all the time like this and not being able to refute, it is better to simply go to the front of the palace, ask the emperor to find out, and give the eldest brother and third brother an innocence! "No matter which department of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, or the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigates this case, as long as the prince puts pressure on them and asks them to judge the case impartially, there is still a good hope that they will help Chengzong clear his name.

These words completely convinced the two wives. The second wife breathed a sigh of relief, and the eldest lady still muttered: "Since this is what you think, you should also ask someone to tell us, so that our hearts can be more steady!" ”

Yulan smiled bitterly, she didn't know what Ye Yichen thought. I don't know how much political power is involved behind this matter, whether Ye Yichen wants to take the opportunity to hit his political opponents and get some benefits She doesn't know about Lu Dao, so his deployment, Yulan is not clear at all.

finally sent the two wives away. Yulan only felt physically and mentally exhausted, Mother Qian helped her massage her temples, the attitude of the eldest lady made her very angry, Yulan said: "Mom, help me lie down on the kang!" ”

The little maid who had a good spirit in the morning laid out the bedding, and Mother Qian helped Yulan to lie down on the kang, and after a while, Yulan fell asleep. Mother Qian carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and the maids quietly retreated, and Mother Qian guarded by the side.

Yulan slept for most of the hour, and when she woke up, she found that Mother Qian in the house was gone, and she was replaced by the prince sitting by the kang. It was just noon, and Yulan asked, "Why did the prince come back so early?" As he spoke, he sat up.

Ye Yichen pressed her back again, "If you feel tired, lie down." Only then did he answer her first question: "I have a change of clothes when I come back, and I will take a look at you by the way." ”

As he spoke, he frowned: "Big lady, are they here again?" There was a lot of displeasure in his tone. Ye Yichen held one of her hands, and saw that under her crystal white skin, a few cyan blood vessels faintly appeared, and saw that her face was very pale and very unsightly, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"When I turn around, I will tell the porter, and if you have nothing to do with it, don't put it in the house, so as not to affect your rest." His wife, who is so spoiled, doesn't dare to say a word of weight, why should he be angry with others.

Yulan smiled bitterly and pulled Ye Yichen's sleeve, "Lord Wang, that's my mother-in-law, do you really want me to be charged with unfilial piety!" ”

Ye Yichen sighed, even if he is the emperor, he can't manage everything, as soon as the words just came out, he knew that the Tao was inappropriate, this is also a matter of concern.

Ye Yichen leaned □, gently hugged her in his arms, stroked her black hair, and said lovingly: "I didn't expect that so many big things would happen after you became pregnant, it's really hard for you!" ”

Yulan smiled and said: "How can it not be hard to have a child!" As long as the child can be born peacefully, it is worth it to be a mother, no matter how much she suffers. ”

Ye Yichen couldn't help but hug her a little tighter.

Yulan said: "Lord Wang, let's talk to me about the scientific research case." "I don't want to know the way, I don't want to know the way, I still know everything from the mouth of the eldest wife and the second wife.

Ye Yichen knew that she still couldn't let go of it in her heart, although she didn't ask, she was always thinking about it, and some things might as well be told to her. Ye Yichen first sorted out his thoughts in his heart.

"Yu Shi Huasong participates in the impeachment of Jiang Zhengfang!"

Yulan thought about it and asked, "Whose person is Hua Song?" ”

"Hua Song's eldest daughter married the youngest son of Li Jie, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites!"

"What is the relationship between Li Jie, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Jiang Zhengjiang?"

Ye Yichen saw that she had asked the point, and couldn't help but nod her forehead affectionately: "You ghost elf." He paused, and then said: "This Jiang Zheng Jiang has been known as 'supernatural power' since he was a child, and Emperor Taizong appreciated it. In the seventeenth year of Taizong's Apocalypse, he was the champion and the first, and he was also known for his profound knowledge in Hanlin. Yulan took a deep breath, he didn't expect this deputy examiner to be so big, and he was actually a champion.

No wonder he likes Chengzong so much, he himself was a "prodigy" at the beginning, so he naturally loves Chengzong of the young Xie Yuan a little more.

"Lord Jiang has had a smooth journey since he was a child, and it is inevitable that he will not be dusty, and he will look at people with his nostrils. And Li Jie is not on the right path......

is like two vice presidents of a company, one has a bachelor's degree and is well-rooted, and the other is from a technical school and belongs to Yeluzi. Naturally, those with a bachelor's degree look down on those who are born as technicians, and the two will inevitably fight each other for power and profit. Da Chu is respected by the left, and the status of Lord Jiang, the left servant, is above Li Jie, presumably that Li Jie is not less sarcastically despised by Lord Jiang.

Spread some false news, and then find his in-laws to falsely accuse him, taking advantage of the opportunity of Lord Jiang's resignation, he can just be promoted, from the right waiter to the left waiter, both avenging and promotion, killing two birds with one stone.

"Could it be that Li Jie asked Hua Song to do it?" She used a questioning tone, and it was obvious that Yulan also felt that things would not be so simple.

If only it were that simple!

Ye Yichen smiled: "These are naturally superficial phenomena, Hua Song still has a double identity, his fellow countryman Zhang Yun is now working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Ren Zheng Sanpin's right signature Du Yushi, is his top boss, Hua Song has always been the only one who looks forward." This Zhang Yun is a staunch member of the Xiao Party. ”

"Xiao Dang?" Yulan took a breath, the Xiao family was in it, I am afraid that Ye Minyu's shadow is indispensable! is worthy of being Ye Minyu's opponent, that is, a prince. Ye Minyu has endured it for so long, and finally started to do it?

"It's just that this fraud case has anything to do with the prince? The prince is in charge of the household department, not the Ministry of Rites! ”

A faint sneer appeared on Ye Yichen's lips: "This time, the exam questions are really leaked!" Don't forget, before entering the examination room, the test questions were sealed by the emperor himself. Whether it is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites or the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, none of them have the ability to mention the Zhilu Dao exam questions! So who came up with this exam question? ”

"What do you mean to say...... This test question was passed on by the prince? ”

The crown prince lives in the palace, which is naturally convenient for the transportation of eunuchs, and it is not impossible to find out the exam questions in advance. If that's the case......

"What is the prince doing this?"

Ye Yichen smiled slightly: "Then it's not for me to know the way." And look at it slowly, this matter can always be revealed. ”

Yulan was still a little puzzled: "Since Ye Minyu's goal is the crown prince, why do you want to involve the third brother?" Is it because the Yang family is the prince's foreign family? ”

Ye Yichen said: "This is just one of the reasons, the other reason, I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to take revenge!" ”

"Who?"

"Chen Jia!"

When Chen Jia established the West Factory, the old lady took the six departments and Jiuqing to force the emperor to withdraw the West Factory, which made Chen Jia disgraced. Later, Ding Ge's old political speculation wrote to reopen the West Factory, and the old lady was also resolutely opposed, and this feud was not small.

Yulan remembered that rumors were made out of nothing, the speed of spread was staggering, and it was known to everyone in almost a day, if Chen Jia sent secret agents from the West Factory to spread rumors, it would make sense to have this speed of transmission.

Ye Minyu wants to clean up the prince, naturally she can't do it herself, Xiao Dang and Chen Jia are good helpers. This matter needs a breakthrough, Chen Jia just took the opportunity to spread rumors, not only completed the task assigned to him by Ye Minyu, but also avenged his personal vendetta by the way, Ye Minyu asked Hua Song to come out, even if the matter is big, there is also the left waiter of the Ministry of Etiquette, Li Jieding.

Just looking at Chen Jia's ability to spread rumors, the truth is false, the truth is false, and the truth is true, so that people can't help but believe it...... These people are used to playing with intrigues and tricks, and if they don't make a move, they will be interlocked, so that people can't pick it up if they fall in. Even if Zhilu now said goodbye to the main envoy, Yulan felt that it was difficult to solve this situation.

"It's just ......" Yulan still couldn't figure it out, "Even if this matter is found out to be done by the prince, how much impact can it have on the prince?" "Ye Minyu has spent so much effort and turned so many corners, how much benefit can he get?

"You don't know about this......" He brushed the messy hair on Yulan's sideburns, and slowly explained to her: "Since ancient times, the battle for succession, poisoning, assassination and these ** methods are inferior, because no matter how meticulous the conspiracy is, it will leave clues, and if you are not careful, it will ruin the person who planned the conspiracy, and you will never be able to turn over." ”

"So the safest way is to ask the prince to bounce on the stage for a while, and show the emperor the stupid things and bastards he has done one by one, and over time, no matter how good the emperor is, he can't stand such a prince, and the prince will still be abolished!"

"When the crown prince is finished, who else can be this emperor besides him Ye Minyu? Ye Minyu, this kid, has really grown up! ”

Yulan thought about it, this is really the safest way. But this method is generally not used, because there must be a premise, that is, the prince must be incorrigible if he wants to be mediocre to a certain level! Sadly, the prince clearly met this criterion.

For example, now, she can't understand what benefit the prince has for him to pass on the exam questions of Chunyi? Receiving bribes of tens of thousands of taels of silver? He is the crown prince, and the whole world will be his, what does he want this money for?

I don't know what to do!
