The two said goodbye to Ye Ruoxi, Ye Ruoxi also understood that Ye Tianqing had been too tired and tired recently, so he rubbed his shoulders and beat his back for Ye Tianqing: "Dad, you can go and recuperate for a while, you are too tired." Seeing that a daughter like you is very distressed, abandon those mundane things and let the government go to hell. When you go to the Imperial Tomb, don't think about this, or I'll let those old monsters often go over to accompany you for fun. ”

"Ning Bang, look at her, where is there a little bit of a queen or a mother."

Ye Tianqing looked back dotingly at Ye Ruoxi, who was rubbing his shoulders and beating his back behind him, and smiled helplessly.

"Ruoxi has always been like this, and it's not the first time I've seen my father, she just became a queen, I'm afraid it's like this, and it won't change."

"Ruoxi, did the emperor let him participate in the government affairs?"

Ye Ruoxi raised his hand with a sad and indignant face: "Dad, I was forced, definitely forced." The big demon used the identity of the emperor to suppress me, and said that I didn't feel sorry for him, and I didn't have any interest in any hellish government affairs. ”

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, be more careful, and when those officials and courtiers learn about it, they will definitely play the impeachment and impeach the Xi family, and take the opportunity to make trouble."

"Hehe, how smart I am, if the things in this dormitory are spread again, I think the people in this dormitory should be cleaned up. Besides, I'm too lazy to ask about the government, just occasionally come up with an idea or something, it's all a matter of the big demon, let him come forward to toss. ”

"Ruoxi, can't you change your temperament? In the future, if the emperor is canonized as the queen, how to manage the harem and the mother of the world? ”

"What is the management of the harem, he dares to get me a concubine or something to come in, hmph, I'll go out and soak a few handsome guys to show him."

"Nonsense!"

Ye Tianqing scolded sharply, staring at Ye Ruoxi angrily.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll just talk about it, and I won't say it to anyone else. Dad, I'm your daughter, don't turn your elbow out, okay? ”

"Ruoxi, do you know what your identity is now? How can such a thing be said, it is a great rebellion, and it should be destroyed by the nine tribes. ”

"I know, if I don't say it in the future, I won't say it, I promise."

Ye Ruoxi was pondering, she couldn't say that she could do it, if the big demon dared to be the first year of junior high school, she would show him a fifteenth, so that he could understand that her name after stealing was not called in vain.

Ye Tianqing told Ye Ruoxi, and in the end, he reluctantly found that Ye Ruoxi didn't listen to what he said, so he had to get up and finally warn Ye Ruoxi a few words, and leave.

The next day, Kang Yuanbang quietly handed Ye Tianqing's recital to Xuanyuan Yan's hands, which was full of analysis and processing of the future government affairs, the talents and expertise of the courtiers, suitable positions, and so on.

Ye Tianqing did not use a preachy and affirmative tone, but only explained some matters that should be paid attention to, and put forward suggestions and analysis.

In the end, the power of how to determine was handed over to Xuanyuan Yan.

Xuanyuan Yan looked at the two thick folds in his hand for a long time, one was the analysis of the situation in the court, the analysis and suggestions of important government affairs.

The other book is the appointment and dismissal, talent, expertise, characteristics, suitable positions, etc., of officials in Jian'an City and even in Tanglin Kingdom, which are detailed and clear in front of Xuanyuan Yan.

"These, shouldn't my father-in-law be able to sort them out yesterday?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the father of these ministers has been sorting out for a long time and is ready to present it to the Emperor."

"Hmph, if I hadn't taken the initiative to ask for it, he would have been willing to give it?"

Kang Yuanbang bowed his head and was silent, the emperor is now the king of a country, unlike in the past, he can't be the slightest slack and rude.

"Ning Bang, speaking in front of me now, he also has a lot of scruples, and he refuses to speak out."

"The minister doesn't dare, but the emperor has an inquiry, how dare the minister not do his best to satisfy the emperor."

"Ning Bang, it's my eldest brother, I don't trust and rely on it, who else can I rely on? Ning Bang, it's good to help me, don't get too angry with me just because I sit in this position, Ruoxi is the eldest brother's sister. ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister is the emperor's courtier, loyal to the country, and it is the minister's duty to worry about the king, the emperor is serious, and the minister can't afford it."

"Ning Yuan's injury, what is the condition?"

Xuanyuan Yan stared at Kang Yuanbang with a pair of deep ink, he had already secretly ordered Kang Yuanyuan to diagnose and treat him, how could he not know the real situation of Kang Yuanyuan.

"Emperor Qiqi, there is no major problem, the injuries have healed, but the body is still a little weak, and most of the internal strength and martial arts have been wasted. The third brother was in a very bad mood, lamenting that he was a useless person, and it was difficult to serve the emperor again, so he took leave to recuperate at home for some time. ”

"How is Xuanyi teaching him kung fu?"

"It will take time to see the effect, and I can't see anything yet."

Xuanyuan Yan didn't speak for a long time, looking down at the twists and turns left by Ye Tianqing, he didn't need to work too hard and brains, as long as he followed what was said in this fold, and analyzed and paid attention to it a little, he could temporarily arrange the appointment and dismissal of government officials, missing official positions, and so on.

Kang Yuanbang bowed his head and stood on the side, he has also been extremely low-key recently, trying to participate in court politics as little as possible, Xuanyuan Yan doesn't ask anything, he doesn't say anything.

Xuanyuan Yan's attitude was ambiguous, Ye Tianqing avoided the imperial tomb, Kang Yuanyuan recuperated from illness and accompanied Ye Tianqing to the imperial tomb, and now he is the person with the highest official position in the Xi family.

"Xuanyuan De and a few people, order someone to send it to the imperial mausoleum, send someone to keep an eye on it, don't keep an eye on it too closely, let them have some freedom, I mean, I should understand."

"Yes, I obey."

Ye Tianqing's departure made the ministers desperate, and also gave the ministers hope in their hearts.

The emperor's mind was obscure, so that all the ministers were raised, tentatively, figuratively, and cautiously waiting.

The series of measures implemented by the new monarch made the courtiers understand that the former mentally handicapped prince was not a foolish master.

Several local officials who embezzled funds for flood relief, expelled refugees, and concealed and did not report were confiscated from their residences within a few days, and they were arrested and taken to the capital for questioning. Xuanyuan Yan immediately sent other officials to arrange disaster relief and resettlement of refugees, and appointed a new group of officials.

The government has changed unconsciously, and the snowflakes of the past have been greatly reduced, and now there are very few twists and turns piled up on Xuanyuan Yan's desk.

Within seven days, Ye Tianqing dealt with all the twists and turns in Xuanyuan Yan's backlog, giving him a moment to relax and breathe.

There are a lot of changes in the personnel in the palace, palace maids and slaves, Ye Ruoxi is worried that these people will have no home after being released, so he simply summoned Ye Piaoling and asked Ye Piaoling to bring back most of the people who are willing to go, settle the soldiers who are married to Donghai County, and give them a certain amount of property, which can be regarded as the emperor's grace to the soldiers of the East China Sea.

"Gollum ......"

Several carriages left Jian'an City and quietly marched towards the Imperial Mausoleum, Ye Tianqing leaned in the carriage, slightly closed his eyes to recuperate, and finally could recuperate for a while, away from Jian'an City, away from the government, and go to the lonely Imperial Mausoleum, to accompany the old man who was also a gentleman and a father, and a teacher and a friend.

"Father, are you going to resign and go into hiding?"

Kang Yuanyuan was half lying in the carriage, and Ye Tianqing's side asked.

"Yuan'er, are you reluctant to leave Jian'an City, and you are reluctant to hold your official position?"

Kang Yuanyuan smiled: "It's a great luck to be alive, what else is there for my son to be reluctant, for many years, my son has rarely had the opportunity to be filial under his father's knees, and now he has the opportunity to serve his father and do his filial piety, but my son can't ask for it." ”

"Let's take a good rest for a while."

Ye Tianqing didn't open his eyes, and the power of the government was easily abandoned by him, and there was not much left, only an indescribable exhaustion.

"Ruoxi sent a letter over, saying that let my father forget the hustle and bustle of the world, carefully recuperate for a period of time, don't be able to leave it behind, no one in this world will rise and sunset in the same way, and it will not collapse."

"This girl still speaks so without scruples."

"My son is worried, you go to the imperial mausoleum, and you don't have much time to recuperate, and those princes won't be at peace."

"These things should also be let the emperor worry about, for my father, I just want to recuperate quietly for a while."

Far away from the hustle and bustle of Jian'an City, the ice and snow in one place creaked under the wheels, and the wind swept over the snow flakes and ice slag, which was cold to the bone.

In the blink of an eye, it was already winter, and the world was silvery white.

"Has the emperor slept?"

Ye Ruoxi got up in the middle of the night and found that Xuanyuan Yan's figure was missing from her, only the fragrant and elegant smell of bamboo leaves, which stayed by her pillow for a long time.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the emperor went to the imperial study."

Ye Ruoxi sighed slightly, every day is like this, Xuanyuan Yan will come back early to accompany him

She fell asleep, and when she was asleep, she quietly got up alone

Go to the imperial study to deal with state affairs and review the folds. Maybe tonight, he slept in the imperial study again, worried about disturbing her, every time Xuanyuan Yan went to the imperial study, after dealing with state affairs, he stayed in the imperial study.

The emperor's bedroom was occupied by her alone.

"Is the bird's nest stewed?"

"Qi Yu Niangniang, I have been stewing, and at the will of Niangniang, I prepare it for the emperor every night."

"Send it over, see if the emperor has no rest, urge the emperor to rest in peace."

"Yes, the slave is waiting for Niangniang's words, if you don't speak, the emperor will not rest."

Ye Ruoxi smiled bitterly, late at night for several days, she had to personally send supplements for Xuanyuan Yan to use, urging Xuanyuan Yan to rest.

In order to avoid letting her run around, as long as she sent someone over to deliver supplements for supper in the past two days, Xuanyuan Yan would turn off the lights and fall asleep when she ran out, so that she could rest assured.

"Niangniang, you should rest early, and give birth to a little prince for the emperor as soon as possible."

Old Youkai No. 5 chuckled and said ambiguously.

"I also want to, the emperors don't stay with me, I don't have the ability to give birth to a child to be happy."

Ye Ruoxi replied lazily, turned to face the wall and fell asleep dimly.

"Look at the light in the emperor's imperial study, when will it go out, if it doesn't go out, call me."

"Yes, Niangniang really loves the emperor, and it is the emperor's blessing to have a lady like you."

"Mother, mother, something happened!"

Jinxiu broke in from outside, knelt in front of the dragon couch, and whispered back to Ye Ruoxi.

"What's the matter?"

"Concubine Yan has returned to heaven."

"Concubine Yan?"

"It's Concubine Yan, Concubine Yan of the Feather Palace."

"Be clear."

In Jinxiu's tone, there was a slight urgency: "Niangniang, Concubine Yan is the mother concubine of the fourth prince, and she just received the news that she is dead." ”

Ye Ruoxi turned over and sat up suddenly, an ordinary concubine died when she died, and the trouble was that Concubine Yan was the mother concubine of the fourth prince, which was different.

"Have you been there?"

"The slave maid has just been there, leaving Xiaoyun there, and coming back to report to the mother. Concubine Yan was killed by someone. ”

Jinxiu approached Ye Ruoxi and whispered.

Ye Ruoxi reached out to get the clothes, Jinxiu hurriedly got up and took the clothes, and waited for Ye Ruoxi to change into clothes.

"Jinxiu, see what's going on?"

"I don't know, I received a report from Yugong just now, the slave maid didn't alarm Niangniang, so I took Xiaoyun over to take a look first, and it turned out that Concubine Yan was killed by someone, leaving Jinxiu there to watch, and the slave and maid came back to pay back to Niangniang."

"How did you die?"

"On the surface, he died of illness, but the slave maid was trained by the Xiangye since childhood, and this kind of trick can't hide the slave's eyes. Slave hair

Now, someone secretly drugged and killed Concubine Yan. ”

Ye Ruoxi didn't get up in a hurry and rushed over, when Jinxiu got the news, it was estimated that it was already in chaos, and it was difficult to trace the murderer.

"What traces and suspicious places have been found?"

Jinxiu leaned close to Ye Ruoxi's ear and whispered a few words.

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

Ye Ruoxi got up, if it wasn't Concubine Yan who died tonight, she didn't have to go so late at night to check, what was a concubine with a prince, the fourth prince was now under house arrest in the imperial mausoleum, at this time, Concubine Yan died, or was killed, it was very troublesome.

Walking out of the dormitory, Ye Ruoxi glanced in the direction of the imperial study: "Is the emperor resting?" ”

"Yes, Qi Yu Niangniang, the emperor has rested."

"Don't alarm the emperor in advance, wait for the emperor to go back to the emperor tomorrow to learn, and I will deal with it."

"Yes, the minion obeys."

Ye Ruoxi led people to the Yu Palace, the Yu Palace is the harem is extremely back, a separate courtyard, there are some palaces in it, separated from other palaces, a heavy iron gate, isolating the Yu Palace from the palace and the world.

The guards were strictly guarded outside the palace, and no one was allowed to come in or out.

Seeing Ye Ruoxi bring people over, the guards knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Niangniang, the slave maid has ordered the guards to strictly ban the Yu Palace, and Concubine Yan's room is also strictly prohibited, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Very good, Jinxiu is very well done."

Ye Ruoxi heard Jinxiu say this, her heart was slightly relieved, Jinxiu handled things very effectively, and having such two little girls by her side saved her a lot of things.

"Woo ......"

A mournful low cry came from the feather palace and drifted in the night. The low crying voice was not very loud, and if there was any, it was even more ghostly.

Outside Concubine Yan's room, there were guards guarding outside, and Xiaoyun stayed inside to guard Concubine Yan's body.

"Mother."

Seeing Ye Ruoxi come in, Xiaoyun hurriedly bowed down to salute, Ye Ruoxi nodded and did not rush into the room, and swept carefully from every corner of the room under the light.

The bed was a little messy, Concubine Yan was lying on the bed, her face was pale, her hands were hanging down under the bed, and her dull face had already lost her vitality.

Ye Ruoxi leaned down and squatted down, inspecting the traces in the room from all corners.

"Who was in this room when you came?"

"It's the two slaves and maids who are waiting for Concubine Yan, and there are a few concubines who are close to Concubine Yan, and there is no one else."

Ye Ruoxi sighed, the scene was destroyed, before the two of them came, there were too many people here, and it was difficult to find the trace of the murderer.

"Have you investigated the two slaves and maids around Concubine Yan?"

"Yes, the two of them were before Concubine Yan entered the palace,

followed the slave maid who was waiting for Concubine Yan, and stayed by Concubine Yan's side to wait. The slave maid asked them just now, and the two of them said that Concubine Yan had a distressed old disease, and this time it was a recurrence of the old disease and she died. ”

"Exactly, now the people of the Yu Palace have also heard the news, and there was a bit of chaos here when the slaves and maids came. The slave maid asked the concubines to go back to their rooms to rest, but fortunately, Concubine Yan's slave and maid said that Concubine Yan died of a recurrence of an old disease, so there was no trouble. ”

"Niangniang, it's better to stop it like this, so as not to give birth to a lot of incidents. Concubine Yan is a distressed old disease, which has never been cured in recent years. If it is investigated, I am afraid it will be a troublesome matter, and many people will be implicated. ”

Ye Ruoxi shook his head, there is nothing to kill a Concubine Yan, the key is to kill the black hand behind Concubine Yan, what is he going to do.

Leaving such a big hidden danger in the palace is a huge threat to Xuanyuan Yan and her, and she is not afraid of enemies on the surface.

In the face of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Risheng Kingdom, she can still kill for five days and five nights, and that is because she can see the enemy, she is in the dark, and the enemy is in the light.

At this moment, the enemy is hiding in an unknown corner and peeping at her, and this feeling of being secretly watched by someone is very uncomfortable.

It was a poisonous snake that hid in the dark, and at some point, it would burst out of the darkness and bite her hard. A mouthful is not heavy, and the venom is enough to kill. She couldn't leave such a hidden danger in the harem and let this kind of person threaten Xuanyuan Yan.

"First of all, announce to the outside world that Concubine Yan's old illness relapsed and died, and ordered the Yu Palace to strengthen its vigilance, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and if there is anything unusual, it will be reported in time."

"Yes, slave and maid."

Ye Ruoxi slowly wandered at the door of the room, changing various postures and angles to observe the traces in the room, the traces of footprints, the traces of walking, and the traces of Concubine Yan's death.

After a long time, I straightened up, and there were only a few women's footprints on the ground, and the most of them were the footprints of two women, which must have been the two slaves of Concubine Yan.

She saw no suspicious footprints, only the two most numerous footprints in front of the bed, and nothing suspicious.

"Jinxiu, go and thoroughly investigate Concubine Yan's two slaves and maids, you must be detailed, interrogate the two of them, and be sure to find out the cause of Concubine Yan's death."

"Niangniang, in this way, the harem will set off an uproar, which will be known by the four princes, and some people with a heart will know it, and they will use this matter to slander the emperor and Niangniang, and sow discord."

"It was announced to the public that Concubine Yan died of a recurrence of an old disease, and this matter was secretly investigated, and such a hidden danger could not be allowed to stay in the palace, which was not good for the emperor."
