An hour and a half later, He Qi and a group of East Palace guards rode back to the palace.

The palace gate had already been closed, He Qi showed his waist card, and the attendant guarding the palace gate opened the palace gate.

At this time, the six princes were still reviewing the folds in the Baohe Palace. He Qi first went to the Baohe Hall to see the six princes, and reported in a low voice: "...... The Pei family has all sealed their homes, and the matter of raiding and liquidating the house will be taken over by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

"The Pei family has all left the city gate. With Pei Zhang, Pei Jue, and a few male Ding Ying from the Pei family's side branches, there shouldn't be any big mistakes in exile along the way. ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "There are five hundred Royal Forest Army accompanying the 'escort', and those chaotic people and bandits dare not make trouble." The last general also secretly sent some personal soldiers to follow to protect the Pei family. ”

The foreign family was uprooted, which was a heavy blow to the six princes. If something goes wrong during the exile, the face of the prince will be gone.

The sixth prince's face was a little gloomy, and he nodded slightly: "The hard work He is in charge." ”

He Qi responded according to the usual practice: "Sharing worries for His Highness is the responsibility of the last general, and I dare not say that I am hard." ”

The sixth prince was in a gloomy mood today, and he didn't have the heart to say more, so he smiled at He Qi. He continued to bow his head and read the folds.

Half an hour later, all the folds were reviewed, and the six princes returned to Yuqing Palace.

The eyes and ears are everywhere in the Baohe Palace, and it is inconvenient to speak. After returning to Yuqing Palace, the six princes were much more relaxed. He told He Qi everything that happened during the day.

"As soon as I returned to the palace today, my father ordered me to deal with a group of indignant civil and military generals."

"Yong'an Hou was executed, and the Pei family was exiled, this matter came too suddenly. The real secret cannot be exposed. I blamed Yong'an Hou for the poisoning. ”

"Poisoning the emperor is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. After they heard the 'original situation' of the matter, they immediately changed their words one by one, and they all said that Yong'an Hou deserved to die, and the emperor's grace was immense. ”

Speaking of this, the sixth prince pulled the corners of his mouth, and mockery flashed in his eyes: "My father used to teach me the art of the emperor, and I listened to it in my ears, but I actually didn't think so. I always think that we should treat people with sincerity and treat our courtiers with integrity. Naturally, the courtiers will also faithfully repay the Son of Heaven. ”

"Now that I think about it, I was really naïve before."

"Don't be too tolerant of your courtiers, or they'll get closer. My father didn't show up for a few days, and I, the prince with gentle means, were not afraid at all, and they didn't take me seriously. If it was the father and the emperor, how could they dare to join forces to enter the palace to interrogate and question! ”

He Qi looked at the six princes with a sneering face, and said slowly: "Your Highness is young after all, and it is the first time for him to act as an agent for the government. It is inevitable that the courtiers will join forces to suppress His Highness through this matter. His Highness coped with it superbly. ”

The mockery in the eyes of the sixth prince was even stronger: "What I said to the ministers, in less than a moment, someone told my father one by one. ”

He Qi's eyes froze.

The attendants beside the six princes had been cleaned more than a year ago. Now most of them are the inner servants sent by Emperor Xuanhe, and these inner servants are headed by Xiaoxi Gonggong.

Xiaoxi's father-in-law is of course loyal to the six princes. However, he is the godson of Zhao Gonggong and is more loyal to the Son of Heaven.

When the six princes were talking to the ministers, among the few servants who were waiting on the side, there must be Emperor Xuanhe's eyeliner.

He Qi lowered his voice and said, "A few of them, they can't move for the time being." lest the emperor be suspicious of His Royal Highness. In the future, His Highness can take the opportunity to send down two of them and replace them with people who were loyal to His Highness before. ”

For example, Ding's father-in-law, who was tortured before, took half a year to recover from his injuries. After returning to Yuqing Palace, he couldn't compete with Xiaoxi's father-in-law, so he was sent to guard the treasury.

There are a few chamberlains like Gonggong Ding. They all grew up with the six princes since they were children, and after severe interrogation, their loyalty is beyond doubt.

The sixth prince snorted: "I also have this plan." It's just that this matter can't be rushed, and it must be done slowly and find the right time. ”

In the past, Emperor Xuanhe loved the six princes very much, and thought about everything for the six princes. After the sixth prince was made the crown prince, it was smooth sailing and he never suffered setbacks.

Now, the father and son of the heavenly family have a gap in their hearts, and it is inevitable that they will be wary of each other.

The sixth prince was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, and his voice was much lower: "Commander He, my father and emperor issued an edict today, and ordered the queen mother to return to the Jiaofang Hall to recuperate." ”

The meaning behind this move is shocking.

He Qi opened his mouth to appease the six princes: "There is no major matter except life and death, Your Highness relaxes." ”

Nothing but life and death.

The sixth prince read silently a few times, and his brows furrowed: "You and Cousin Rong said exactly the same thing." ”

Speaking of Cheng Jinrong, He Qi's expression softened a lot, and the slaughter in his eyes was swept away: "Did Ah Rong also say the same thing as you?" ”

The sixth prince nodded: "I went to see her today." She has a tough heart and is calm and calm. I'm ashamed of myself. ”

He Qi felt a faint pain in his heart.

Cheng Jinrong is now under house arrest in the Baohe Palace, and it is not easy for him to see her. Fortunately, his Ah Rong is not a delicate and helpless person who can only cling to a man's silk flower, she is strong-willed and will definitely be able to hold on.

……

The Pei family fell within a day, and it was not only outside the palace that was shocked, but also the concubines in the harem who were also stunned.

Concubine Wei Xian laughed heartily in the dormitory after hearing that Empress Pei was sent back to the Jiaofang Palace to recuperate. On the second day, he squeezed out his worried and anxious appearance and went to visit Queen Pei in Jiaofang Palace.

Gu Shufei and others also came.

Zhao Guiren, Luo Guiren and other young concubines also came together.

Whether it's a visit to the sick or wanting to listen to some movements, in short, the harem is destined to not be peaceful today.

Yu Meiren was the first to come, and the only one to step into Queen Pei's bedroom. She stayed inside for half an hour before she came out, her eyes slightly red, and she had obviously cried.

Concubine Wei Xian feigned concern: "Yu Meiren, how is the queen mother now?" ”

Yu Meiren replied softly: "The queen mother is sick and weak, unable to speak, and needs to recuperate. ”

Concubine Wei Xian immediately looked worried: "How is this good." I can't rest assured that I can't see it with my own eyes. ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked into his bedroom.

Yu Meiren didn't think about it, and stopped Concubine Wei Xian: "Concubine Xian, please stay." The queen needs to recuperate, so let's not go in and disturb the mother. ”

Queen Pei couldn't speak, Yu Meiren had been in it for half an hour just now, and Queen Pei couldn't say anything. However, Yu Meiren had already guessed Queen Pei's mind.

Concubine Wei Xian glanced at Yu Meiren: "This is Jiaofang Palace, although Yu Meiren is a person from Jiaofang Palace, she can't be the master of the queen's mother." Get out of the way! ”
