Who is the biggest in the palace, in the eyes of outsiders, of course, is the Empress Dowager Li. She is the biological mother of the official family, and this identity is slightly higher than that of the Empress Dowager Yang.

But Empress Dowager Yang is the adoptive mother of the official family, and this identity is not much worse. Cultivating grace is greater than heaven, and it is not nonsense.

In the eyes of the official Zhao Zhen, Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Yang are the same weight in his heart.

At this time, the princess Huanyu produced by the Empress Dowager Yang was bullied by An Lehou, and if Zhao Zhen did not make the decision for Huanyu at this time, I am afraid that he would be indifferent to both inside and outside the palace.

It's just that the situation is a little complicated now, and An Lehou was carried into the cave room by the people who returned the Jade Princess, so it can't be explained.

After listening to Empress Dowager Li's words, Empress Dowager Yang couldn't help but feel anxious, "Sister, I treat you sincerely, are you so protective?" Besides, An Lehou is not your own flesh and blood, why should you protect him so much. The day before yesterday, he also came to my Baoci Palace and told a lot of rumors about Chen Shimei. The rebellion in the Horse Mansion was obviously caused by him, and it was absolutely inseparable from him. Today, I want to hold this son accountable, but Sister wants to stop me? ”

Fan Yu originally wanted to defend himself, but when he saw that Empress Dowager Yang was angry and questioning his stepmother, Empress Dowager Li, he kept silent first.

"Sister, of course you can understand your feelings. When the emperor was taken away, I almost went crazy. Empress Dowager Li has experienced a lot of hardships, and at this time she agrees: "But if this matter is not clarified, it will be categorically concluded." If things are not what you and I think, how can elders like you and me face the official family and their generation? Sister, don't worry, the rebellion in the Horse Mansion must be detected. If it is really Yu'er who is to blame him, let the official family blame him, but I will never protect it. But Yu'er is also considered to have known him since I was a child. His father was the steward of the Qin Mansion back then, and after I was kicked out by the Qin family, their father and son often sent some rice and noodles to help me. Yu'er is pure and good-natured, and she will definitely not do such a foolish thing. ”

Fan Yu saw that Empress Dowager Yang wanted to say something, so he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Auntie, things are not what you think. I don't think about returning jade to men and women at all. Although Huanyu is beautiful, she is still young and immature, and she does not have many female appearances. Just because she is also a member of my Great Song Dynasty, she can't be mistaken for life because of outsiders' lies. Chen Shimei already has a family in her family, and this time she deceived the royal family, and she was really greedy for wealth. If he succeeds, he will not only miss the life of the jade girl, but also disgrace the royal family. Today is the last chance. If my aunt refuses to listen to persuasion, then in the future, the official family and Aunt Yang, don't blame me for not trying my best to stop it. ”

Zhao Zhen listened to Fan Yu's words and couldn't help but be silent. In this matter, he sent Chen Lin to the court to transfer the documents, which were written in black and white, and Chen Shimei had no family. At this time, An Lehou said it conclusively, and it was not groundless.

Princess Huanyu was puffed up at this time, what kind of An Lehou dared to say that she was immature and did not have many female appearances, which was even more unacceptable than saying that she was ugly.

Empress Dowager Yang saw Fan Yu so calm, but she was also a little shaken, "It's just that I don't know one thing, where do you sit and know that this Chen Shimei has a family." ”

Fan Yu knew that he would eventually have to face this problem, and he didn't panic, "I learned about this from a foot merchant. The businessman who traveled to Chen Shimei's hometown to do business had seen Chen Shimei's family. This person told me that Chen Shimei's wife was named Qin Xianglian. Now that I think about it, this Qin Xianglian is also a poor woman. If the official family and Aunt Yang don't believe it, they can call Chen Shimei and ask him who Qin Xianglian is in person. ”

Some traders, like merchants, are also in the business of long-distance trafficking, and they also do the business of walking the streets. As Fan Yu said, it is not impossible. And Fan Yu is not afraid to call Chen Shimei in person.

In this way, Empress Dowager Yang and the official family and others believed half of his words.

"An Lehou, since you know Chen Shimei's heels, why didn't you enter the palace and play to me earlier." Zhao Zhen stared at Fan Yu's eyes and said.

"The official family, there is a happy event in the palace, I don't know what it is, how to make a statement to the official family?" Fan Yu spread his hands and said: "When I realized that something was wrong, I had just met the Liao envoy, and I was afraid that the official family would be bored, so I went into the palace and asked to see my aunt." Who knew that my aunt didn't believe it, and said that I couldn't come up with evidence. ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled: "Yu'er, you can think about the palace, this is very good." The official family can summon that Chen Shimei and ask him who Qin Xianglian is. If it is really his wife, as soon as he hears that the official family can say the name of his wife, he will understand that the matter has been revealed. If it is really as Yu'er said, Yu'er is not guilty of the rebellion in the Horse Mansion, and it is meritorious. ”

Empress Dowager Yang opened her mouth, wanting to say that Sister Ah hasn't proved what happened to An Lehou, so she is going to have merit? But what Empress Dowager Li said was right, she didn't speak again.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "According to what the eldest lady said, I will order someone to pass on Chen Shimei." Chen Lin, you send someone to the Horse Mansion to pass on that Chen Shimei to the palace to see you."

Chen Lin was ordered to retreat and sent two small yellow doors to summon Chen Shimei into the palace.

But not long after these two little yellow doors went out, they all returned.

"Qiyu official, the right to know Kaifeng Mansion Bao Zheng asks to see." A small yellow door bowed to Zhao Zhen and said, "Governor Bao said...... said that Chen Shimei had been taken into custody by him, and when he entered the palace, he came to ask the official family for instructions. ”

All the people in Baoci Palace, how could Chen Shimei be imprisoned by Bao Zheng? This seems too weird.

Princess Huanyu looked at Fan Yu and said in surprise: "You, how did you do it?" With such strange methods, who are you! ”

It's not that Princess Huanyu is thinking nonsense, but Fan Yu was carried into the cave room last night, and Chen Shimei was taken into custody by Kaifeng Mansion today, this kind of coincidence is like doing a magic thing.

In addition to Princess Huanyu looking at Fan Yu with the eyes of looking at monsters, it was the two queen queens and the official Zhao Zhen, who also looked at Fan Yu with an inquiring look.

Fan Yu smiled bitterly: "Official, why was Chen Shimei detained by Kaifeng Mansion, it must be that he violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. Governor Bao has the name of iron face, and there must be an explanation for it. ”

Zhao Zhen then remembered that Bao Zheng was still asking to see him.

"See you in Xuanbao Zhengjin and bring him to Baoci Palace." The official commanded Xiao Huangmen.

There was not much time, and Bao Zheng came to Baoci Palace under the guidance of Xiaohuangmen. Seeing that the official family and the two queen mothers and a princess, and An Lehou were also there, Bao Zheng understood a little.

stepped forward to greet everyone, Bao Zhengcai bowed to Zhao Zhen and said: "Minister Bao Zheng, asking to see the official family at this time is to explain to the official family Chen Shimei's crime of bullying the king!" ”

Everyone in the palace was already prepared, and when they heard Bao Zheng say this, there was not much shock.

It's just that Empress Dowager Yang was ashamed and quietly glanced at Fan Yu. Princess Huanyu also patted her heart twice to soothe her frightened heart.

The official Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows and said: "You tell me in detail!" ”

"Yes." Bao Zheng glanced at Fan Yu before continuing: "Early this morning, several new science and technology scholars who are among the top spears came to my Kaifeng Mansion to express their grievances. They sued An Le Hou Fan Yu for the crime of ...... Filthy palace ......"
