"This time it was an accident, I really didn't expect Song Huai, who cherishes his reputation so much, to break in by pretending to be drunk." Qin Niang said, raised three fingers, and swore a promise, "With this lesson, I will ask Mama Jin to prepare me with some good things when I go back, and ensure that he will even touch my clothes, and his hands will be rotten." ”

Gu Chen looked at her fixedly for a long time before he sighed, reached out and pinched her cheek and said, "Then you be careful, next time I will match two good hands in front of your palace, and I won't let that Song Huai have a chance to break in." ”

This is also his negligence, now he is in charge of the security and defense of this big palace, he doesn't know that the fake public and private from the beginning to this Lanxi Hall near the good hands, if Qin Niang is really lost today, he is afraid that he will hate himself to death.

"Your Majesty raided Qi Hang's house today, didn't you find out that most of Qi Hang's corruption and bribery were all in Song Huai?" Qin Niang said, "If Song Huai is not beneficial, will he indulge his subordinates to collect money like this?" Moreover, didn't he also raise a lot of private soldiers? Where can you raise so many soldiers without money? ”

Moreover, it sounds like those soldiers are not weak, and they have to equip each of them with so many weapons, if they don't have enough money sources, can they afford to raise so many soldiers?

"Naturally, it was found out, and His Majesty also knew that Qi Hang was Qian Shangshu's illegitimate son, and most of Qian Shangshu's money was also given to Song Huai, so His Majesty was furious, stopped his errand, and ordered him to be grounded in the East Palace, and not to leave the palace at will." Gu Chen wrinkled his brows and said, "This punishment is simply painless for Song Huai. ”

For those ordinary people who are suffering, it is indeed painless.

"Thinking about what Song Huai has done over the years, Your Majesty is not completely ignorant of it, it's just that Song Huai has always bebehaved in front of Your Majesty, if the matter is not revealed, Your Majesty will naturally not hold on to him, but now that things are getting bigger, and even heard that he is very likely to have raised private soldiers, how can he not be angry?" Qin Niang thought, Your Majesty probably can't sleep at this time.

Even if his subordinates are greedy for so much money, if he uses this money to raise soldiers, how many soldiers does he have to raise?

Just thinking about this, he was probably going to fidget, let alone sleep peacefully.

It's just that Song Huai has been favored for a long time, and His Majesty is just a little disappointed and angry with him now, after all, he is still the prince, as long as he has not done anything hurtful, it is still not enough for His Majesty to make up his mind to abolish him as the crown prince.

"But is it just a grounding? Didn't you hear that the Book of All People was handed over to His Majesty's desk? Will the grounding be able to quell the resentment of the people? Qin Niang felt very unwilling, "Can some people get His Majesty's blue eyes just because they were born a few years early?" ”

Gu Chen looked at her angry little face and sneered: "Where is he because he was born a few years earlier?" His Majesty spoiled him, but he still remembered the old love of the former queen, after all, it was his crown princess, the woman who accompanied him all the way from the most difficult days, and Song Huai was the only bloodline left to him by that woman, so as long as Song Huai didn't break his heart, he was always willing to tolerate him a little more. ”

Besides, it's just greedy for some money, now that the treasury has been fully filled, and there are no irreparable consequences, if Song Huai behaves well during this period, he is naturally willing to give him another chance.

"It's not early, you go quickly, it's not good for people to find out that you have broken into the palace again." Qin Niang looked at the moonlight outside the window, broke away from his embrace, and pushed him out.

Gu Chen reluctantly hugged her again, rubbed his chin on the top of her hair, and advised: "Remember to be careful, if there is danger, remember to go to the fourth princess for help." ”

Qin Niang nodded, and Gu Chen reluctantly jumped out of the window and left.

……

Qin Niang thought that she should go and see where her people were knocked unconscious, and wake them up, otherwise in such weather, they might really catch a cold.

As soon as she came out of the dormitory, she found Qiu Xue lying at the door of her room, she squatted down, patted Qiu Xue's face, and called, "Qiu Xue, wake up." ”

Qiu Xue woke up in a daze, only to feel a sore pain in her neck, and then, as if she remembered something, she sat up suddenly, and shouted: "Miss, just now the prince's palace ......"

However, she was only halfway through her words, and she was quickly covered by Qin Niang's eyes, and she lowered her voice and said: "You are quiet, the person has already left, and you shouted at you, and someone came again after a while." ”

Qiu Xue glanced out of the door, pulled down her hand covering her mouth and asked, "Then, did he treat you badly?" The slave and maid saw that he seemed to have drunk too much, but the slave and maid could not stop him. ”

As soon as she mentioned this, she wanted to cry, Yang Hong saw that she was not bad, so she deliberately gave her to Qin Niang as a dowry girl, but after leaving the Yang family, she found that her kung fu was really weak, and any pampered prince could knock her down.

It's so undeserved.

"Fortunately, Gu Chen came, and he was beaten away." Qin Niang didn't tell her in detail, "It's late, you can sleep for a while." ”

As soon as Qiu Xue heard that it was okay, she was immediately relieved.

There is a soft belly outside, and after Qin Niang enters the inner room, she squints her eyes while lying on the belly, but she doesn't dare to sleep too deeply, lest there is something that doesn't have long eyes to break in, and Qin Niang will really not be able to say it clearly.

After tossing for most of the night, Qin Niang was also tired, and soon fell asleep after lying on the bed.

Early the next morning, when Qiu Tao came in with water, she began to tell Qin Niang the gossip she heard: "Miss, the slave maid heard that Concubine Hua's personal slave was pushed down the well by His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it was clearly the slave and maid who was a thief and poisoned the Queen Mother and you, and then committed suicide in fear of crime. ”

Qin Niang tugged at the corners of her lips: "In this way, the matter of poisoning is probably going to be over." ”

She knew early on that these people would blame the slave who fell into the well, after all, there was no way for a dead person to speak again, Concubine Hua only had to pretend that the master and servant were affectionate and shouted a few words of injustice for her, and this matter was over.

"That's right, that slave and maid have always known that she is a scapegoat, and she has to take the blame for her master when she dies, it's really pitiful." Qiu Tao puffed out his cheeks and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has cooperated very well at this time, and he sang against Concubine Hua, His Majesty would never have thought of it, the two of them had already colluded." ”

If it weren't for collusion, why did they join forces to set up a trap for Gu Chen last time?

"It's just that, for the sake of his own face, His Majesty can only be the culprit of this matter is the slave who fell into the well and died, otherwise, if he digs deeper, he will have no face." Qin Niang thought, when will these people in power really sympathize with their grievances?

All they have to think about is how to stabilize the political situation and how to hold the power in their hands.

"Isn't this sin in vain, young lady? That's too cheap for those people, right? Qiu Tao said indignantly.

"Forget it, I didn't suffer much." After Qin Niang cleaned her face, she handed the towel to Qiu Tao, "It's just a night's sleep, and it's really not guilty." ”

It's just that, that's it, their Yang family must also have an explanation, otherwise, the emperor is really bullied by the Yang family, and when he wants someone to do errands, he knows that there is a Yang family, but when he is wronged, he refuses to give some grace, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world.

Just thinking about it, someone from outside came to report: "Miss Yang, the queen invites you to Zhengyang Palace for a while." ”

Qiu Tao and Qin Niang glanced at each other, as if to say, look, what is coming.

Qin Niang raised her eyebrows, and said to the messenger outside: "Little father-in-law, wait a while, let me change my clothes." ”

The little waiter outside responded, and waited outside respectfully, without urging him.

Qiu Tao helped Qin Niang put on the outer robe, called Mama Jin to come in to help comb her hair, Qin Niang sat in front of the bronze mirror and began to put powder on her face.

After the master and servant were busy for a while, Qin Niang came out of the inner hall with a bloodless face, supported by Qiu Tao: "My father-in-law is leading the way." ”

The little chamberlain didn't say anything, and his face was kind: "Miss Yang is polite." ”

The group quickly left the Lanxi Hall and walked towards Zhengyang Palace.

When Qin Niang arrived there, the queen was already sitting on the main seat, and it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time, and Concubine Hua and Concubine Jiang were sitting next to her.

"Meet the Queen, Queen's Chitose." Qin Niang walked to the middle of the hall, knelt down a hundred meters away from the queen, and bowed.

"Get up." The queen looked at the woman under her carefully, and said, "It turns out that you are Lord Yang's daughter, and you are really Xiuwai Huizhong, who came and gave you a seat." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Qin Niang raised her head slightly and glanced at the queen sitting on the top.

I saw that she was wearing a bright yellow back clothes, wearing a phoenix hairpin on her head, wearing finger sleeves on her fingers, and her well-maintained face looked like she was in her early thirties at most, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to the third prince Song Yu, and she looked like a mother and son.

She was polite to Qin Niang, and as soon as she came, she ordered someone to give her a seat.

"I heard that you suddenly fell ill two days ago, this incident happened in the harem, Your Majesty ordered the palace to investigate in detail, so I called you over for questioning, I heard that Concubine Jiang was also there that day." The queen said, turning her gaze to Concubine Jiang.

"Back to the queen's mother, the concubine was indeed there that day, but it was very strange, why was only Miss Yang down, but the concubine was intact, Miss Yang was not pretending to be sick, so that the Yang family and the Gu family could join forces to force Your Majesty?" From the moment she entered the door, Jiang Guifei did not hide her malice in her eyes, and her exit was even more ruthless.

"The courtiers also feel very strange, why are there so many people in the entire harem, only me and the queen mother are so sick, they come and go so quickly, and they can't even find out after the divine doctor." Qin Niang hooked her lips and looked at Concubine Hua meaningfully.
