Lin Yao was sent to the palace, and she suddenly returned to her normal appearance.

"I didn't expect this incident to make the emperor suspect Jiang Wan, what did that Xiaoqian do?" Lin Yao was very dissatisfied, no one in the palace suspected that Jiang Wan killed the Queen Mother?

Won-joo didn't understand what was going on.

"Yuanzhu, you go and contact the courtiers and let the courtiers make trouble to the emperor, and the palace will not believe that the emperor will protect Jiang Wan."

"Yes, Yuanzhu" Yuanzhu hurried down to do something.

The queen mother's funeral was held for five days, and the concubines in the palace also kept their filial piety for five days.

"When can I have some meat?" Lin Chang complained, looking at the green vegetables and tofu on his table, these dishes have been eaten for five days, how long will they have to eat.

The servants around him hurriedly comforted: "Little master, just boil it, the emperor has ordered everyone in the harem to fast for a month, and the emperor is now eating vegetarian food, who else dares to touch the emperor's brows at this time?" ”

Lin Changzai said jealously: "The concubine doesn't eat and drink spicy food every day, I also saw the Yuan Zhu next to the concubine take the blood swallow yesterday." ”

"Then how can it be the same, the concubine Niangniang is now pregnant with the emperor's child, so she naturally wants to eat something good, little master, you can only eat these if you are not pregnant with a child, and when you are pregnant with a child, you can also eat and drink spicy food." The minion said more trickily.

Lin Changzai was very angry when she was said, but she couldn't refute anything, she had already fallen out of favor for many years.

On Jiang Wan's side, Jiang Wan cried every day due to excessive sadness, and he had lost a lot of weight in just five days.

"Mother, you have some food, you can't always skip meals like this." Ping'er looked at Jiang Wan, who was gradually losing weight, and said distressedly.

Jiang Wan was still looking out the window in a daze.

It took a long time to come back to my senses.

"Hire'er, did you say that the Queen Mother was killed by me?"

Ping'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "Niangniang, how could the Queen Mother be killed by you?" ”

"But, why did I die as soon as I went to the Queen Mother, is there something wrong with that pastry?" Of course, Jiang Wan knew that she didn't poison the pastries, but the Queen Mother was indeed poisoned after eating something.

"No, Niangniang, no, the Queen Mother also drank a cup of tea." Ping'er remembered that the Queen Mother felt that the pastry was too sticky, so she drank a cup of tea.

As soon as Ping'er said this, Jiang Wan immediately remembered.

"That's right, that cup of tea, who served that cup of tea?"

"The slave maid remembers, it seems that the palace maid next to the queen mother is called Xiaoqian." Ping'er still has some vague impressions of this slave.

"Where are the people now? Hurry up and bring someone here. ”

"Yes, mother, the slave will go right away."

At the same time, the palace maid who was guarding next to Changle Palace saw that Xian'er had gone out and hurriedly reported to the concubine.

Lin Yao was afraid that things would be discovered, so she had been raising the fetus and staying in the palace recently.

"Niangniang, it seems that the hired child of Changle Palace is going to Xiaoqian."

"What? Looking for Xiaoqian? ”

"Hurry up and get rid of Xiaoqian." Lin Yao could only take a risk.

"But Niangniang is now investigating this matter, if we do it at this juncture, it may definitely attract the emperor's attention." Yuan Zhu said worriedly, now the emperor will find out if there is anything going on in the palace.

"This palace can't take care of so much anymore."

Seeing Lin Yao's obstinate appearance, Yuanzhu could only go down to do things.

Yuanzhu strangled Xiaoqian to death, and when Ping'er found Xiaoqian, it was already a corpse, which made Jiang Wan sure that there must be some conspiracy behind the death of the Queen Mother, Jiang Wan went to the emperor to report this matter to Lu Zhixing.

"The concubine has seen the emperor, and the concubine came this time to tell the emperor about the queen mother."

"Let's talk about it" Lu Zhixing rubbed his forehead and motioned to Jiang Wan to say.

Jiang Wan handed the cup and powder he found to Lu Zhixing.

"This is what the concubine found from the room of the palace maid Xiaoqian next to the queen mother,... When the concubine was about to interrogate Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian had already been strangled. ”

"You mean that Xiaoqian was instructed to kill the Queen Mother."

Jiang Wan nodded affirmatively: "Other than that, the concubine can't think of any other answer." And Jiang Wan still has a guess in his heart, this kind of technique can only be done by Lin Yao, and Lin Yao also has enough reasons to kill the Queen Mother, after all, if the Queen Mother dies, she will not be the queen, but this kind of thing cannot be said to Lu Zhixing.

"I know, I'll send someone to investigate." The death of the Queen Mother made Lu Zhixing very sad, and he has been immersed in sadness recently.

Looking at the dark green in Lu Zhixing's eyes and his tired face, Jiang Wan told Dan: "Your Majesty, even if you are sad, you must rest well, the people of the world are still waiting for your care." ”

"I know, you also go back and have a good rest, I ordered the kitchen to prepare black chicken soup for you, you have to drink it every day." Lu Zhixing knew that Jiang Wan had been having a poor appetite since the death of the Queen Mother.

"Yes, the concubine knows."

After Jiang Wan left, Lu Zhixing felt endless exhaustion, and was about to rest for a while, but he didn't expect to be disturbed again.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the border, come quickly."

"Show it to me." The letter must have been in a hurry.

As soon as Lu Zhixing opened it, he saw the letter, and the content written on the letter made Lu Zhixing very angry, and after seeing it, Lu Zhixing was already angry, slapped the table fiercely, and yelled: "Bold, they dare to be so excessive!" ”

The entire study was frightened by the emperor's majesty, and he fell to his knees at once.

"Go out and pass on the Prince of Night and General Lu."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Zhiye was also sad because of the death of the Queen Mother, and was planning to go out for a good time, but was sent to the palace by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, is there anything you are anxious about?" General Lu's doubts?

"Lu Nan, do you know what that group of barbarians is divided into?" Lu Zhixing has tolerated them for a long time, but they are still gaining an inch.

Lu Nan took the letter that Lu Zhixing read just now, read it quickly, and handed it to Lu Zhiye after reading it.

Lu Zhiye was also angry after reading it.

"They actually want Lu Ya to go to make peace, what kind of place is this barbarian? Will Ya'er be able to come back if she goes? "Lu Ya is their own sister, how can she be sent to be kissed like this?

Lu Zhixing was naturally reluctant, and said guiltily: "When I was young, Ya'er was sent outside to be an exchange messenger, and now I am going to be sent to make peace, I won't let this kind of thing happen." Lu Zhixing felt that it was a shame for such a thing to happen.

"But I'm afraid our forces won't be able to stop the barbarians." Lu Nan said with difficulty.

"It's a big problem."

"Discuss it with the ministers after going to court tomorrow." There is nothing Lu Zhixing can do now.

"There's no other way around now."

When he went to the court, Lu Zhixing told the courtiers about this matter, and after hearing this, the pot exploded below.

"Your Majesty, now you can only send the princess over and kiss her, this is the easiest way."

"Seconded by the Minister"

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

Most of the courtiers below agreed with this decision, and they all felt that it was a very cost-effective thing to send a princess to solve the matter.

Lu Nan and Lu Yeye, who were listening in front, were very angry, but they suppressed it and didn't say anything.

Lu Zhixing sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression.

"Retreat." Lu Zhixing didn't know how long he endured it before he couldn't hold back his temper.

The courtiers below didn't understand why the emperor had such a big reaction, but Lu Zhiye and Lu Nan understood, and the two followed Lu Lu to the study.

Lu Zhixing couldn't suppress his anger and smashed the entire study.

"Why should the stability of a country be exchanged for the happiness of a woman?" Lu Zhixing is really ruthless, why can't he make the country strong? No one is at risk.

"The emperor and courtiers have no other way, and now there is indeed no other way." Lu Nan sighed deeply.

"yes, I can't help it."

Lu Zhixing lowered his head helplessly: "You all go out first, and I will think about it again." ”

"Okay." After the two went out, they gave Lu Zhixing a space to think.

This matter is so big that Lu Ya, who is panicked in the entire palace, naturally knows the news.

The maid beside her looked at Lu Ya worriedly.

"Princess, what are you going to do?" In this situation, the only way to do this is to let the princess go and kiss.

Lu Yawan smiled: "Naturally, I went to kiss." ”

"But Your Royal Highness the Princess, most of the barbarian people are rude, not to mention that the barbarian land is even more bitter and cold, the princess used to endure hardships, and the princess who has been with her relatives over the years has never ended well, why do you want to go, princess?" The maidservants around her have also followed Lu Ya around the world since she was a child, and naturally understands that living elsewhere, the feeling of being under the fence, finally the princess can come back, but why do you want the princess to kiss now.

Lu Ya said as if she had seen it: "I am the princess of a country, so I naturally have to take on the responsibility of a princess of a country, and this is my responsibility." ”

Lu Ya has long seen it, she has been loved by her brother in this life, and she is no longer at a loss, if she can make any contribution to the country, she will not regret it.

"But ........." Maple Leaf was about to say something, but when he saw Lu Ya's appearance, he kept silent.

Lu Ya looked out the window lightly, with some nostalgia in her eyes.
