After Fuquan left, Yao Duran looked at Huo Yizheng, and said with a sense of shame: "Yizheng, thanks to your reminder, otherwise this palace is so ignorant and unconscious, if the news of Du Ningsheng's bullying spreads, it will really add fuel to the fire." ”

Huo Yizheng said: "Niangniang, this harem is all yours, just like the world belongs to the father, but the father can know things thousands of miles away, but you don't know what is close at hand. In fact, you can buy people from all over the palace and let all kinds of eyeliner keep an eye on the harem for you. ”

Yao Duran thought it was true, and sighed: "It makes sense, this palace is already the queen, and this pattern should be bigger." ”

When Fuquan returned, Yao Duran handed him a silver ticket.

"Fuquan, this palace is going to install eyes and ears everywhere in the harem, from now on, you will take this money to walk around the harem a lot, and buy hearts everywhere in the palace!"

Fuquan suddenly realized, and then received the silver ticket: "Rest assured, the slave will definitely handle this matter." ”

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and Du Yan entered the palace to recommend the person he had selected to Huo Jingcheng, saying that this person had a strategy and knew the way of marching.

Huo Jingcheng asked, "What's his name?" ”

Du Yan said: "Back to Your Majesty, this person's name is Cheng Sheng." ”

Huo Jingcheng thought for a while and said, "The time is not ripe yet, let him continue to hone in the Martial Palace." ”

After Du Yan left, Qin An added tea and asked casually: "Your Majesty, Cheng Sheng has already heard of this minion, and he has a high prestige in the Martial Palace, Your Majesty loves talent and thirsty, why don't you use it?" ”

Huo Jingcheng sat down after returning to the imperial case, picked up the teacup and dialed it leisurely.

"I don't know that Cheng Sheng is a usable person? But with Du Yan's recommendation, I can't use it, otherwise, wouldn't he have bought Cheng Shengzhi? Therefore, after hanging for a while, I finally instructed Zhuang Shan to recommend him, and I will use it. ”

Qin An was puzzled: "Your Majesty, what is this for?" ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "I want to empty his left and right and make him isolated in the court, so I will not let him form any more henchmen or gain any people's hearts." ”

Qin An heard this, and said carefully: "It seems that Your Majesty is really annoyed with Master Du, since this is the case, why didn't Your Majesty depose him happily?" ”

Huo Jingcheng smiled faintly: "How can you not be annoyed?" When he tried to talk to me in the name of asking for tricks, I had already changed my opinion of him. But I can only strangle him, not depose, so I take his son as a hostage. Imagine, not long after an accident in his house, and the queen was involved, if I depose him at this moment, wouldn't it make the people of the world think that I am not allowed to be loyal because of my personal and public interests? Therefore, not only can I not depose him, but I still have to reuse him, but it is just, only reused. Let's talk about it later. ”

Qin An suddenly realized when he heard this, it turned out that this was the means of the king's control, one set of light and one thing of darkness, but it just made people unable to see anything, so without moving, he could make a person stand in defeat unconsciously. And what will be behind his last three words 'Let's talk about it'? What will it look like then?

At this end, Du Yan walked out of the imperial study, but when he looked up, he saw a woman with a delicate and smart face, this woman was dressed in blue and fresh clothes, obviously a palace concubine.

Du Yan stepped forward and lowered his eyes and saluted: "Weichen see Xu Meiren." ”

Xu Huanyan also Shi Shiran returned a salute: "Lord Du is polite." ”

Du Yan said: "If Xu Meiren is fine, Weichen will retire first." ”

Xu Huanyan suddenly took a few steps closer, and said earnestly: "Master Du, don't worry, since I have met by chance today, this palace also sympathizes with the adult's experience, and there is something I can't bear to hide from Lord Du." ”

When Du Yan heard this, he raised his eyes to look at her: "Xu Meiren has something to say, and Weichen listens to her." ”

Xu Huanyan sighed softly: "Lord Du's beloved son has a very bad life in the prince's house, he is cold-eyed and bullied, and he is constantly sick, alas. ”

"What?" Du Yan's heart twitched, and his handsome face immediately became frosty.

Xu Huanyan muttered: "Alas, this matter seems to have been deliberately suppressed, so there has been no rumor yet, but in order to please Your Majesty, this palace went to the prince's house a few days ago to visit the third prince Yilan, and I accidentally learned about it." The palace sent a message at that time, and ordered the palace people over there to take good care of Young Master Du, but unexpectedly, after several days, Young Master Du's situation still did not change, and the palace went to the prince's office again, but the steward over there told the palace that there was a secret order on this matter, and he couldn't see the Du family having a good time, and said that this was not something that the palace could manage, so the palace couldn't help. After she finished speaking, she sighed solemnly: "Alas, why bother implicating innocent children in grievances and grievances between adults." ”

These words were insinuating, meaning that it was self-evident who it meant, Du Yan naturally heard it clearly, and immediately said: "How is this good?" I don't know if Xu Meiren can mention a little bit of Weichen? ”

Xu Huanyan asked, "Does Master Nadu know who deliberately made things difficult?" ”

Du Yan said: "Naturally, there is no doubt that she is the queen's mother." ”

Xu Huanyan sighed: "Alas, it is really something that anyone with a discerning eye can see." But now that this matter has not spread, Lord Du might as well calm down first, and after a while, this matter will be known to everyone, and then the Lord will join the courtiers to impeach that person to His Majesty. ”

"Hehe......" Du Yan suddenly looked at her and laughed in a low voice, laughing so hard that Xu Huan's face changed slightly, and he said calmly: "Whether the queen mother did this remains to be verified, but Xu Meiren's bad intentions are true." Hehehe, Weichen retired. ”

When he left without squinting, Xu Huanyan was shocked to realize that he had been tricked by him and showed his face! Immediately angry! It turns out that in addition to the women of this harem, none of the men in the previous dynasty had a fuel-efficient lamp!

Sure enough, on the second day, Du Yan proposed to Huo Jingcheng to take his son back to the house, and between his words, he truthfully mentioned his son's situation in the palace.

Huo Jingcheng replied to him: "There are many people in the palace, I will govern them, Aiqing rest assured, the queen has sent someone to take good care of Ning Sheng over there, Aiqing doesn't have to worry too much, you can step into the inner palace to meet your son every month in the future." ”

Du Yan saw that he still didn't return his son, and there was a long-term meaning between his words, so after walking out of the imperial study, a pair of iron fists in his sleeves creaked in an instant! Even his cheekbones bulged slightly, and it was obvious that his teeth were clenched heavily!

Time goes quietly, there is no wave in the harem, but Yao Duran is still not idle! On this day, Fuquan hurriedly came in to report: "Niangniang, the slave went to the prince's office to investigate again according to your instructions, who knows that Du Ningsheng's situation is still like that, and the palace people are simply taking your words as a deaf ear!" ”

When Yao Duran heard this, he was very annoyed, and immediately said: "Biya Qingtang, change clothes!" ”

She hurried to the prince's office and found the room where Du Ningsheng lived, and deliberately didn't let her report, just to quietly see what the situation was here.

However, before I entered the room, I heard a child's cough!

"Drink water!" I only heard a rough and impatient female voice sound inside.

The room was silent for a moment, only to hear the female voice scolding again: "Drink! Why didn't you just take a sip and stop drinking?! If you don't drink water, will you die of illness and cough to death! ”

In response to her, there was still a cough, but not a word.

Yao Duran knew in her heart that Ning Sheng's child was too frightened and couldn't speak.

Alas, putting everything aside, he is an innocent child after all. Yao Duran thought that she was sad, so she walked in.

I saw Ning Sheng sitting on the bed with a pale face, he seemed to be cold and scared, and he was a little shivering.

"Don't drink it!" Gong E, who was waiting inside, scolded and turned around to put the water cup, but who knew that she saw the noble and compelling queen mother!

Gong E was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly put down the water cup and knelt on the ground: "The slave knocks to see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

Yao Duran came to the table with a cold face, planning to coax Ning Sheng to drink some water before settling accounts with her. As soon as she picked up the teacup, she frowned! The next moment, she smashed the teacup in her hand in front of Gong E!

"This water is cold! He is sick and coughing, you don't have hot water and let him drink cold water? Of course he didn't want to drink it! ”

Ning Sheng was frightened by this movement, and threw himself into the quilt and shivered.

And Gong E also looked frightened and frightened, and hurriedly said: "The queen mother is angry, slave maid...... Slave ......"

Yao Duran didn't need her explanation, and interrupted her with a cold face: "What's your name?" ”

"The slave maid is called Forsythia."

Yao Duran looked around and asked, "Aren't there two people serving here?" Why are you the only one? ”

Forsythia said: "Niangniang, Hanzhi is decocting medicine in the dining room." ”

Yao Duran looked at the trembling quilt on the bed and said, "How many days has Young Master Du been sick?" ”

Forsythia said in a weak voice: "It's been a few days." ”

Yao Duran frowned: "Not only did he decoct the medicine, but also gave him cold water, and he didn't give him clothes and quilts when he sat on the bed, how could this disease be cured?!" ”

Forsythia can't tell why.

Sure enough, after a while, Hanzhi came in with a bowl of medicine, and when she saw that the queen mother was here, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly put the medicine and knelt down to salute.

Yao Duran had no intention of glancing at it, but found that the bowl of soup was extremely light in color, and she gently picked it up, but found that the medicinal juice in the bowl was actually very thin and not strong at all. She said, "Why is the color of this bowl of medicine you fried so light?" ”

Hanzhi was speechless.

When Yao Duran saw it, he suddenly felt that there was a problem, and immediately said angrily: "Say! What's going on? ”

Hanzhi was so anxious that her eyes rolled a few times, and finally said, "Back to Niangniang, is it ...... That's the case, Young Master Du, he didn't think the medicine was bitter, so he didn't drink it, so the slave and maid decocted the medicine a little lighter. ”

Yao Duran asked, "Then why can't you say it?" ”

At this time, Fuquan suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Hanzhi: "Niangniang!" Minions get it! This Hanzhi is lying at all! In this palace, there are often decoction of the master's medicinal materials, so they do not pour the dregs, and fry the dregs several times! The more this medicine ends, the lighter it will become, and the more it will naturally lose its effectiveness! ”

Hanzhi didn't expect that he would be debunked by him, and he was stunned all of a sudden, and a layer of fine sweat quickly oozed from his forehead.

Yao Duran saw that it was true, and couldn't help but be angry: "It turns out that you deducted Young Master Du's medicinal materials!" Use the residue that has lost its effect to fool over and over again! No wonder he didn't get better for days! You wolf-hearted things! One by one, they took the words of this palace as a deaf ear, and they actually abused the young master of the Du family so much! This palace can't spare you today! ”

"Someone! Drag the two of them to the courtyard and play thirty boards each! ”

When the two palace ladies heard this, they were frightened and begged for mercy.

Yao Duran was furious, and said in a deep voice: "Whoever dares to say a word again, he will add an extra board!" ”

At this time, the two of them choked together again, and they didn't dare to breathe.
