Wen Rongan quickly found out the source of Yan Yao's silver.

It turned out that because Master Yan was also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and was in charge of the scientific examination, some people wanted to bribe him.

But Master Yan had long known that this was a pitfall, and he never dared to make a wrong step, because although his hands and feet were not clean before, he was very cautious now.

These people had nowhere to start, so they shifted the target of bribery to Yan Yao.

Yan Yao is the daughter of Master Yan, she received money, which is equivalent to Master Yan receiving money, they hold this handle, and they are not afraid that Master Yan will not let them go through the back door.

Yan Ran shook her head and sneered, "Yan Yao, this idiot. ”

Wen Rong'an said: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." Yan Yao stole your belongings and lived a luxurious life, once you were beaten back to your original form, it was inevitable that she would have evil thoughts. What's more, she also has Minyang's 'role model' by her side. ”

Yan Ran sighed helplessly, speaking of which, this matter was still caused by her.

Xiao Zun wanted to deal with her, so he targeted Master Yan.

Although Yan Ran has no father-daughter affection for Master Yan, if the Yan Mansion falls, what will happen to the dozens of people in the mansion.

Besides, even if it is to teach Master Yan a lesson, it is her business, and she cannot be bullied by outsiders at will.

Yan Ran thought about it, and was a little worried: "Yan Yao has already accepted bribes, and there is evidence for convenience, even if she returns the money now, it will be useless." ”

Wen Rongan nodded and said, "Well, I can only stop the loss in time." ”

This matter was discussed by Wen Rongan to Master Yan.

Master Yan also knew that if it weren't for Wen Rong'an keenly catching the news, he was afraid that after Yan Yao received more silver, Xiao Zun would use these incriminating evidence to suppress him.

Yes, Master Yan accepted Wen Rong'an's suggestion, and he quickly entered the palace and pleaded guilty to Emperor Sheng.

He said that Yan Yao was coaxed into accepting a bribe, and after he learned about this, he was deeply frightened and ashamed of the emperor's grace, so he came to ask for guilt and proposed to resign.

Master Yan took the initiative to report the bribery, which was particularly honest and honest, and coupled with Han Xiang and Qingguo Gong coming forward to intercede for him, Emperor Sheng did not condemn him.

Emperor Sheng granted Master Yan's request to resign from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but the original official position was still retained, and he was only fined for half a year as a punishment.

For the crime of accepting bribes, it is already an extra grace to pay a penalty.

But for Master Yan, punishment is like cutting meat.

Because the money Yan Yao collected had been spent, but Master Yan still needed to plug this hole, so he could only pay out of his own pocket.

Of course, those who paid bribes were also punished, so the silver that Master Yan took out filled the treasury.

Master Yan was very painful, most of the family funds he had accumulated in the early years were taken away by Yan Ran, and he successively handled Yan Yao's marriage and Wen's funeral, and he didn't have enough money, so he could only sell a shop and some land.

Because of this incident, Master Yan became more and more impatient with Yan Yao, and the guilt he had for this daughter due to Wen's death gradually disappeared, and he even stopped giving her subsidies every month.

This is not the end, it is not a trivial matter for Master Yan to ask Emperor Sheng for guilt, so Minyang and Wen Chengyan naturally knew about it.

Yan Yao is the daughter of the Yan Mansion and the daughter-in-law of the Dingguo Mansion, if her bribery is revealed, not only will Master Yan be unlucky, but the entire Dingguo Mansion will be dragged into the water.

Because of this, Minyang looked at Yan Yao even more unpleasantly, and even thought of asking Wen Chengyan to divorce his wife.

But she was afraid that Yan Yao had evidence that she had done something illegal, and she was afraid that if she provoked Yan Yao, she would break the net with her, so she could only press this thought for the time being.

But she didn't want Yan Yao to have a good time, so she insisted on accepting two beautiful concubines for Wen Chengyan.

This can step on Yan Yao's sore feet, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become more and more tense.

Yan Ran also kindly let Wen Chengyan know that this matter was not entirely caused by Yan Yao's greed, but Xiao Zun deliberately did it in order to deal with Yan Mansion.

Su Yu is Xiao Zun's confidant, and it is impossible for him not to know Xiao Zun's plan.

However, Su Yu knew that Wen Chengyan would also be implicated, but he did not warn him in advance, which made Wen Chengyan question him, and the friendship between the two also had a gap.

Yan Ran was happy, but Xiao Zun was naturally unhappy.

"Yan Ran! Wen Rong'an! The two of them are really capable! ”

Xiao Zun slammed his fist on the table, his eyes bloodshot red with anger.

Although Yan Yao couldn't resist the temptation of interests and accepted bribes, after all, it was the first time she had done this kind of thing, and she was still a little bolder.

So she only took some small amounts, and didn't dare to take those large amounts.

So much silver is not enough for Xiao Zun to impeach Master Yan, so he can only wait and wait for Yan Yao to collect more money.

But he didn't expect that before he could raise Yan Yao's appetite, he was discovered by Wen Rongan and Yan Ran and ruined his plan.

Xiao Zun thought that this matter was extremely secretive, after all, who would notice Yan Yao as a woman in the house?

Xiao Zun thought about it, and looked at Su Yu with a faint gaze.

Su Yu is friendly with Wen Chengyan, could it be that he was afraid that Wen Chengyan would be implicated and revealed the news in advance, but was captured by Wen Rongan?

Su Yu hung his head, feeling the oppression from the top of his head.

He didn't know what Xiao Zun was thinking, otherwise he would really have to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Wen Chengyan was separated from him, Xiao Zun still didn't believe him, it was really unflattering.

Although Xiao Zun was suspicious of Su Yu, Su Yu was still useful, so he suppressed this question for the time being, and asked instead, "What about the medicine?" ”

Su Yu took out a brocade box, and inside was an elixir, round and shiny, faintly shining with a crimson light, which looked a little weird.

Su Yu hesitated: "Lord Wang, do you really want to do this?" ”

Xiao Zun was silent, a ruthless light flashed in his eyes, and his determined expression was full of ambition.

Yan Ran conditioned her body for Meiji, but there was not much improvement.

She must first solve the problem of covering up the poison in order to know what kind of poison is in the charm, and then she can detoxify it.

But she was at a loss as to how Su Yu did this.

"Don't waste your efforts, there is no cure for the poison in my body."

Every time Yan Ran came over, Mei Ji, whose mouth was like a closed clam shell, finally opened her mouth.

Yan Ran looked at it with hope: "Do you know what kind of poison you have?" ”

Mei Ji shook her head: "I only know that this poison has no cure, and it is very domineering, and they don't dare to use too much on me, otherwise I would have died a long time ago." But because the toxicity on my body is not strong, I have to serve at least three times to see the effect. Now, I have only served once, and you have been trapped here on the pretext that I am suffering from a stubborn illness, and the Holy One has never summoned me again. So you don't have to bother so much, their plan won't succeed. ”

Listening to Mei Ji's words, Yan Ran completely left the poison behind her, and only looked at her in a daze: "Why are you telling me?" ”

Mei Ji lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooped, looking very weak and lost: "They didn't let me see Chong'er, I don't even know if Chong'er is still alive." If something happened to Chong'er, then what's the point of me doing these things? ”

It was Yan Ran's words that made her suddenly realize that for her children, only she, the mother, is the only one who can be trusted and relied on.

All the while, it was as if she was stuck in a dead loop.

She didn't trust Xiao Zun, but because Xiao Zun used her child as a threat, she had to be at his mercy.

After being broken by Yan Ran, she was no longer satisfied with just looking at the recent situation of the recorded child and the big characters and other items that were practiced, but asked to see the child very firmly, and she wanted to make sure that the child was alive and well.

But Xiao Zun repeatedly shirked her request on the grounds that it was inconvenient to enter the palace.

A sense of foreboding faintly rose in her heart, she was very scared but didn't dare to think about it, and her original firm belief gradually wavered.

After getting the information provided by Mei Ji, Yan Ran had a rough judgment about the poison on her body.

The poison that needs to be spread by the pleasure of men and women should be kitsch.

Yan Ran had studied all kinds of poisons before, but she had also learned about Mei Ji, but she had not diagnosed Mei Ji's physical condition, so she was not sure of the composition of this poison, so there was no way to detoxify.

When Yan Ran worked tirelessly to solve this problem from Su Yu, the elixir that Su Yu had added had also been mixed into Emperor Sheng's elixir.

In order to avoid Emperor Sheng from getting sick after taking the medicine, he thought that there was a problem with the pill, so the dose of poison in the pill was not large, and it would take some time to attack.

And when that time comes, the toxicity in Meiki's body will also be revealed.

In this way, the prince's poisoning of Emperor Sheng through the hand of Mei Ji is a certainty.

Time passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it came the birthday of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother is now sick in bed and cannot celebrate her birthday at all.

But Emperor Sheng has always liked to be lively, he closed his door all day for the sake of cultivation, and he had not been happy with the crowd for a long time, so he took this opportunity to hold a palace banquet from the beginning.

On the palace banquet, the emperor and queen sat on the main seat, and Su Guifei sat at the bottom of Emperor Sheng.

And Concubine Rong, who was in full swing, sat at the same table with Emperor Sheng, regardless of the public, leaning on Emperor Sheng's arms as if she had no bones, and her every move was coquettish.

Concubine Su glared at Concubine Rong fiercely, she was the one who was so favored in the past, but now she was taken away by a lowly woman who came from nowhere!

However, when Concubine Su Guifei saw the crown prince, the jealousy in her eyes was quickly replaced by pride and pride.

No matter how favored Concubine Rong is, even if she gives birth to an heir now, she can't beat the prince who has become an adult and has been in the East Palace for many years.

In the future, the crown prince ascends to the throne, she will be the queen mother, how beautiful and beautiful is it, why bother with this moment?

Concubine Su was immersed in the beautiful fantasy of the future, when she suddenly heard a sharp cry in her ears: "Holy Lord! What's wrong with you, Holy One? Holy Lord, wake up! ”

Su Guifei was taken aback and stroked her chest to look over.

I saw Emperor Sheng fainting in Concubine Rong's arms, blood gushing out of his nostrils continuously, he couldn't wipe it clean, and the red blood was all over his face, which was extremely terrifying.
