Helian Yingche looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling down and the harem concubines and concubines who stood silently on both sides in the hall of Luanfeng Palace, and ordered: "You all go down first, it's good to guard the queen here." ”

The Queen Mother He Lanyan also said: "There are so many people standing and kneeling in this Luanfeng Palace, how can the queen rest well, you better retreat." If the mourning family and the emperor need anything, they will call you in. ”

The palace maids and eunuchs responded, got up and retreated.

He Lanyan explained to Concubine Ning Pingzhi and Concubine Dan beside her and other harem concubines, and said, "You have also stayed here for a long time, so go back to the palace to rest." ”

Concubine Dan and other concubines retired one after another.

Concubine Ning Pingzhi said respectfully: "The queen mother and the emperor are tired for a day, so let's go back to the palace to rest early, there are concubines here to take care of the queen." ”

Helian Ying said in a thorough voice: "Concubine Shu is right, the queen mother has been tired for a day, so please ask the queen mother to go back to the Sun Palace to rest." There are ministers and concubines guarding here, ensuring that the queen will be fine. ”

Helan Yan sighed: "The mourning family is indeed a little exhausted. Especially today's queen's affairs, the mourning family is even more worried. Before the mourning family returned to the palace, there were still a few words to explain to the emperor. ”

He Lanyan said, her eyes swept over the concubine Shu on the side and the palace maid Ace who stayed to serve the queen.

Concubine Shu and Ace will understand and retire for the time being.

Only Helian Yingche and the Queen Mother He Lanyan were left in the palace.

Only then did He Lanyan instruct softly: "Today's matter, does the emperor already have an eyebrow?" ”

Helian Ying heard that He Lanyan's words were in his words, so he asked respectfully, "What did the queen mother discover?" ”

He Lanyan sighed and said: "Fang Cai's mourning family is just acting on the spot, deliberately observing other people's reactions by blaming Concubine Duan. What the mourning family can be sure of is that the queen's poisoning must have been done within Luanfeng Palace. ”

Helian Yingche asked in surprise: "Could it be that the queen mother already knows that this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Duan?" ”

Helan Yan said: "Although Concubine Duan is pampered on weekdays, she has also done some unbearable things that cannot be put on the table, but it is obviously impossible for her to come to Luanfeng Palace without shying away at all at the critical moment when the queen is pregnant, and poison the queen in front of the palace maids and eunuchs of Luanfeng Palace." Not to mention, although Concubine Duan has indeed always coveted the queen's position and is quite ambitious, she is timid by nature, and she doesn't take other concubines in her eyes on weekdays, but she respects the queen alone. If you want to say that she poisoned the queen, the mourning family will never believe it. However, in the situation of Fang Cai, there is a little palace maid from Luanfeng Palace who identifies Concubine Duan, and the mourning family has no choice but to make mistakes in order to test the reactions of others. ”

Helian Yingche nodded and said, "So, the queen mother thinks that the queen's affairs were done by the palace slaves inside Luanfeng Palace?" ”

Helan Yan smiled and sighed: "I'm afraid the emperor already knows this." Otherwise, why did the mourning family ask the emperor to reward the palace maid Ai Si of Luanfeng Palace, the emperor would deliberately delay and refuse. Actually, the emperor has already seen that the palace maid Ace has a problem, isn't it? ”

Helian Yingche had to admire He Lanyan's eyesight, in Dayan's harem, sure enough, no one's every move could escape He Lanyan's eyes.

Helian Yingche followed He Lanyan's words and analyzed: "As soon as Erchen came to Luanfeng Palace before, he felt that there was something wrong with the eldest palace maid of Luanfeng Palace, but Erchen couldn't say it. It wasn't until Ace knelt on the ground to explain the cause and effect of the matter to Erchen and the queen mother that Erchen suddenly felt that there was something wrong with her reaction and expression when this palace maid Ace was narrating the whole thing. ”

Helian Yingche continued: "Ace has served by the queen's side for so long, and she is the most trusted person after the queen enters the palace, so it stands to reason that she and the queen should have a deep relationship. But in the face of the queen's sudden poisoning, Ace's reaction was too calm, and there was almost no change in his expression, neither sad nor sad, nor like other palace maids and eunuchs in Luanfeng Palace, who showed fear for fear of being implicated and punished. Ace's expression betrayed her heart, she didn't seem to have any sense of what was happening here, or rather, she had expected the queen to be poisoned. ”

He Lanyan nodded deeply, and said in a quiet voice: "On the surface, the little palace maid who knelt in the corner and revealed that Concubine Duan had come to Luanfeng Palace was the most suspicious, because she could easily blame Concubine Duan for the murderer's crime as soon as she said it casually, but the little palace maid's face was pale, and the whole person was trembling with fright. If the murderer was really her, she would not be the first to stand up and identify Concubine Duan, increasing her chances of being suspected. Because, if it is really investigated, and the matter has nothing to do with Concubine Duan, then the little palace maid will be the first to be interrogated as the key object of suspicion. The real murderer, if he really uses such a stupid method, the chance of being exposed is too great, and the risk is too high. Therefore, the murderer will not be the little palace maid who has long been frightened by the words of the emperor and the mourning family. Then, inside Luanfeng Palace, only the performance of the palace maid Ace is the most suspicious. ”

He Lanyan continued: "Therefore, if the emperor really wants to find the murderer who poisoned the queen, he has to start with this Ai Si and follow the vine." ”

Helan Yan sighed faintly: "I don't know why, the mourning family always has a faint premonition, this matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, as if there is a pair of invisible black hands, hiding in the harem, waiting for an opportunity, reaching out to the inner courtyard of the Xiao Wall of Dayan, and disturbing the foundation of my Dayan." ”

Helan Yan's earnest words were saying what Helian Yingche was thinking.

Everything that Da Yan finally calmed down seemed to be just a superficial appearance. The never-ending undercurrent surging under its surface was unforeseeable by Helian Yingche and the Iron Lady Empress Dowager He Lanyan, who was accustomed to strong winds and waves.

They are in the light, and the unseen hands are in the dark. Da Yan has entered the most critical period, and if he is not careful, it will make the Great Yan Dynasty and the government of Da Yan, who He Lanyan and Helian Yingche have planned for two generations, miss the opportunity to prosper, and even be placed in a disadvantageous place that may be subverted again.

At this time, Helian Yingche shouldered far more missions than the Queen Mother He Lanyan expected.

Helian Ying swore a thorough oath: "Please rest assured that the queen mother will definitely find out the truth and find out the real culprit behind the scenes." No matter where the mastermind behind the scenes is, Erchen will dig three feet into the ground to dig it out, pay tribute to the first emperor, and comfort my ancestors of the Great Yan royal family! ”

Helan Yan said: "With the emperor's words, the mourning family will be relieved." However, the emperor also has to take care of his body, and the lifeblood of the Great Yan River is still entrusted to the emperor. There is a long way to go in the future, and the emperor has to pay more attention. ”

After Helan Yan persuaded Helian Yingche a few words, she drove back to the Sunny Palace.

Helian Yingche looked at the back of Helan Yan who was far away, and his heart was full of mixed feelings and emotions.

For Helian Yingche, the adoptive mother He Lanyan has both the revenge of killing her mother and the resentment of poisoning her children.

But such a woman with an iron wrist has raised Helian Yingche for 20 years, raised Helian Yingche with her own hands, and used everything she has to escort Helian Yingche all the way to the throne, and personally pushed Helian Yingche to the throne of the emperor.
