There are three princes and nine princes who are fighting openly and secretly in private, and the rest of the princes are not to be outdone, and they all do their best to behave in front of the emperor.

As long as they don't touch the bottom line, they won't ask the emperor how to make trouble, not to mention that now they are still brothers, friends and brothers on the surface, and they get along very harmoniously, which is a good thing for the emperor to kill two birds with one stone.

On this day, Song Zhao just came out of the emperor and met the third prince Song Lang, if it is said that the road is narrow, Song Zhao should back down and stand aside to greet his brother, but the eyes of the third prince seem to be on the top of his head, and he pretended not to see him, and went straight to the main hall.

Song Zhao was not surprised, and continued to follow his own path without changing his face, but he had a plan in his heart: Song Lang was arrogant, but recently, in front of his father, he changed his reckless temperament and became a lot more stable.

After returning home, Song Zhao ordered someone to investigate the matter, and decided to start with Zhang Guifei first. After receiving the order, the secret guard immediately went out of the house and sneaked into the palace, but after a few days of investigation, he found nothing.

"Lord Yu, there is nothing abnormal in Lu Dai Palace, Concubine Zhang is very quiet during this time, except for the emperor's accidental summons, and the queen to say goodbye, the rest of the time even the palace gate rarely steps out."

Song Zhao sneered: he didn't know when Zhang Guifei would be so peaceful, there must be fraud among them! In the harem, I was afraid that it would not be easy to investigate carefully, Song Zhao thought for a moment, and then said: "Keep an eye on the Beining Palace, if you find anything, come back and report it as soon as possible."

The Dark Guard agreed to step back. In the dead of night, Song Zhao stared out the window, thinking for a while, in order to deal with the tasks ordered by the emperor, he was so busy that he had no time to think about the people and things buried in his heart.

After a few days of calm, Song Zhao did not expect that the first crisis would first erupt in the harem: in just ten days, several palace concubines died mysteriously one after another in the palace.

First of all, Concubine Tong, who was sent to the cold palace because of the collision that angered the emperor, died unexpectedly, and it was privately rumored in the palace that she was crazy and tossed herself to death. After the autopsy, the doctor couldn't say why, so he had to be buried hastily.

I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect that several unfavored concubines died later, and everyone in the harem was in danger for a while, and at first I wondered if this was a precursor to the spread of the plague, but the imperial doctors concluded that it had nothing to do with the epidemic, and the matter reached a deadlock.

A few days after the emperor was comfortable, there was this incident in the harem, and he was in an irritable mood, and he didn't even remember what the dead people looked like, but the impact of this matter was very bad, and it must be thoroughly investigated.

He simply acted as a shopkeeper and pushed the truth to the queen, the queen was in charge of the internal affairs of the six palaces, and now that this kind of thing happened, she blamed herself and panicked, and the whole person who was worried these days was haggard.

Song Zhao got the news, and there was an object of suspicion in his heart, but there was no evidence, so he went to the palace to see the queen by asking for peace, and after asking for peace, he didn't beat around the bush, Song Zhao said bluntly: "Behind the scenes, what can be found out about that incident?" ”

The queen couldn't help but sigh heavily, her face was tired, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes suddenly increased a lot, and she said helplessly: "I don't know where to start, this matter is really strange, how can so many people die, and they are all palace concubines, although they are not favored, they are all the same age, how should they not ......"

She couldn't go on, picked up the handkerchief to wipe her tears, felt infinite self-blame in her heart, and said in a lamented voice: "It's the palace that is not good, I don't know what went wrong, so that they suffered this fate." ”

"The queen mother is also a victim of this matter, and the only way to find out the real cause of their death is to appease their spirits in the sky, so that the disaster in the harem can be calmed down." Song Zhao said calmly.

The queen's tears did not dry, she looked up at him, and said: "If there are useful people around you, this palace doesn't have to be so helpless, I know you have the heart to help, but this is the harem, as a prince, it is inconvenient for you to meddle in many things......"

How could Song Zhao not understand, so he had to say: "What the queen mother said is that if there is any helper outside, the queen mother will tell the son." ”

The queen nodded, seeing that he came alone, a little strange: "How long has Yao'er not come?" What do you do at home? ”

Song Zhao was silent for a moment, and had to reply: "I've been feeling a little unwell recently, and I haven't been able to come to the queen mother to say goodbye and ask the queen mother to forgive me." ”

The corners of the queen's lips finally pulled out a smile: "What are you talking about, when will you get better, hurry up and take her into the palace, I haven't seen her in this palace for a long time, I really miss her, I really can't leave for this matter during this time, otherwise I must go to see her." ”

"The queen mother doesn't need to worry, Yao'er is fine, she is almost better, next time the son will definitely bring her to the queen mother to say goodbye."

The queen nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "This is strange, Yao'er's girl has such good medical skills, I still think she won't get sick." ”

Song Zhao's face did not change: "Greedy and cold ate bad things, and after taking two doses of medicine, it is already better." ”

Seeing that he was faint, the queen vaguely guessed something, thinking that they were arguing and vindictive, so she didn't ask again, she talked for a while, and both of them were busy, and Song Zhao said goodbye.

After running around all day to deal with official business, it was already dark at the end, and the carriage back to the palace was waiting outside, Song Zhao hesitated for a moment and decided to go to Gong Tianyao.

When Lianxin saw the prince, she was surprised and delighted, she almost didn't shout out at the top of her voice, and when the words came to her mouth, she hurriedly stopped it, and recited the four words that she couldn't make a noise dozens of times in her heart, and smiled all over her face: "Lord Wang, are you here?" ”

Song Zhao replied in a low voice, led the way by Lianxin in front, led him to the hall to sit down, and served tea, Lianxin said happily: "Slave and maid, go and invite Wang ......."

Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, Lian Xin shut up, didn't say anything and turned around to invite Gong Tianyao, leaving only Song Zhao alone, he looked at the surrounding layout, simple and generous, and it was enough to see in the details that it had been carefully designed by the owner.

A faint wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Song Zhao raised his hand to pick up the tea cup, slowly blew open the tea leaves, and slowly took a sip of tea.

Gong Tianyao didn't want to see him, but was dragged by Lian Xinsheng, Gong Tianyao scolded Lianxin in her heart while struggling, and now she is 'spoiled', and after today, she must be punished well!

She stood outside the hall door, letting Lianxin's persuasion fall on deaf ears, Song Zhao got up from the chair, the two looked at each other, and neither of them dodged.
