"You mean, the evidence is letters?" Yan Xiuyu said with a little surprise.

"Yes, letters." Shui Mu smiled slightly bitterly: "Actually, I also know that it is just a few letters, and it is really not very convincing. Besides, it's ...... now."

Having said this, Shui Mu himself has stopped talking, one of the last things he can do now is to talk about the government in vain.

If you want to rely on bringing down the second prince to keep the Shui family from falling, it is really difficult.

What's more, the second prince and King Jing led the barbarians into Beijing before, although the evidence was not put on the surface, but everyone knew the truth, even so, the emperor did not move them.

Now with just a few letters that can be easily faked, he wants to achieve his goal, and even Shui Mu himself thinks it is ridiculous.

It's a pity that the previous roads have been blocked, and they have no other way.

Those letters were exchanged for the lives of several die-hard subordinates of the Shui family, and Shui Mu naturally would not carry such vital evidence with him.

Yan Xiuyu had no intention of reading the letter, and the field became very silent for a while.

Shui Mu was far from having the same strategy as his mother Yun Clan, and he looked at Yan Xiuyu, and the taste in his heart was very difficult to discern.

The Shui family and the Yan family are both princely families of the Great Zhou, but the things they have experienced in the past few years are too different.

When did everything change? Probably from the current Yan Wang Ye taking charge of the Yan Palace. , Yan Wang Ye obviously has a good kung fu, but he does not take the road of military generals, specializes in one of the laws, serves in Dali Temple, and later helps the emperor to take charge of the punishment department.

He likes his literary name, and many of the staff members who come and go in the Yanwang Mansion are Confucians.

If a scholar doesn't go out, he knows the world. It is these people who are making suggestions behind the scenes, and under the influence of Lord Yan, the decisions he makes are becoming more and more different from those of the Shui family......

This rise and fall did not take place overnight, and it took 20 years.

Twenty years ago, the Shui family and the Yan family still relied on martial arts to establish themselves in this dynasty. Even at that time, because the Shui family had a favorite concubine, the life of the Shui family was much better than the Yanwang Mansion where the head of the family was first mourned and the young son inherited the lord.

Twenty years later, in order to save their lives and prevent them from falling from the clouds, the whole family is struggling to the death.

In the conversation between Fang Cai and Yan Xiuyu, Shui Mu could not see it very clearly, whether it was the court's strategy or far-reaching vision, he and Yan Xiuyu were actually between the two of them, but Yan Xiuyu was mentioned by the Lejia father and son, just listening to their words, which made Yan Xiuyu stand at a different starting point and height from him.

This gap is really too difficult to make up.

Shui Mu was confused for a while.

In Chuxiu Palace, Shui Ying, who is Shui Mu's sister, is also frowning slightly at this moment.

Liumi, the big palace maid beside her, was talking to Aunt Pulp Wash in her yard, and the voices of the two of them clearly passed through the window and into Shui Ying's ears.

"The menstrual belt used by the side concubine on the small day of this month is not much every day, but it is so drenched and pulled, it is not over for a long time." Aunt Pulp Wash muttered.

Liumi was drying a pillow for Shui Ying at the door, took a sip, and said, "Say a few words, the side concubine has cold hands and feet these days, and her temper is violent. ”

After scolding the aunt, Liumi walked in, saw Shui Ying's stunned expression, and whispered: "Concubine Fang, why don't we ask for more blood in the imperial dining room, and then ......"

Shui Ying's monthly letter this month has not come for a long time, and she has been sleeping recently, she always likes to drool, and her chest is faintly swollen and painful, all the evidence shows that she is very likely to be pregnant.

In order to conceal the news, she first said that the water was not smooth, and she pushed it for half a month, but she couldn't push it, so she asked the doctor to grab a few medicines and pretend to drink them. On the second day, when I went to the imperial dining room to receive food, I secretly took the blood back through the person buried by Concubine Shui in the imperial dining room, smeared it on the menstrual belt, and forged the monthly letter.

Listening to Liumi's suggestion, Shui Ying shook her head and said, "It's not proper, if there is still as much Kwai Shui as before, when the Imperial Doctor diagnoses that I am pregnant in the future, the month will not be easy to count." There is not much blood, and when the time comes, I can still shirk it, saying that I may have just been pregnant, and I took medicine, and I saw blood only when I was not pregnant, and it was mistaken for a menstrual affair. ”

Liumi was planted by Concubine Shui to serve Shui Ying early, and seeing that Shui Ying insisted on this, she didn't say anything, just sighed worriedly.

The prince's Chuxiu Palace, don't look down, but the open and secret battles in it are much more complicated than today's holy harem.

This Liumi went out to do something else, Shui Ying heard Yuan Qianqian's arrogant laughter outside, and she teased her son loudly, this child was finally given a name by the prince last month - Yuan Jin.

Yuan Qianqian was very satisfied with this name, as the only child in the prince's courtyard, and a boy, there were nearly twenty palace people who served him alone.

And Shui Ying, who is a side concubine, is only two palace maids, two aunts, and two eunuchs around her.

Yuan Jin's temperament is not as calm as the prince, he loves to make noise, and when he is a little unsatisfactory, he will roll to the ground and cry, shouting at the top of his throat.

The same is true today, after a while, Yuan Jin's loud screams and cries filled the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace, and Shui Ying was upset.

The prince is not in the palace today, Shui Ying thought about it, instructed Liumi, and said, "Clean up and go to Fengzao Palace with me." ”

Liumi knew that Shui Ying was going to find Yan Qingge again, and she secretly calculated that this was Shui Ying's last time and the fourth time she went back to Yan Qingge, which was a bit too frequent.

Not long after, Shui Ying arrived at Fengzao Palace, entered Yan Qingge's door, and saw Yan Qingge sitting under the window embroidering.

Today the sky was overcast, the clouds were low, and the light was not very good. Seeing Shui Ying, Yan Qingge simply threw down the embroidery frame and stopped working.

Yan Qingge asked Ruyi to bring up the newly made candied fruit and soaked honey water in the imperial kitchen, and said with a smile: "You don't want to stay in the fetus, run around." ”

"I don't know what's going on lately, I can't keep my temper back. Yuan Jin shouted in the yard, I used to only be a deaf ear, but just now I wanted to go out and sew his mouth shut. Yuan Qianqian sighed and rubbed her temples in distress.

"You're just pregnant, and it's normal for your body to change. Counting the days, the child is now more than forty days old. In another month, there will be a time when he will trouble you. Yan Qingge said with a smile.

Shui Ying smiled and shook her head: "You are a big girl with yellow flowers, but you are pretending to be the same as a woman who has given birth to seventeen or eighteen, quickly pour me a glass of water to drink, you have done your duty." ”

The two sisters sat together affectionately and talked, and Shui Ying didn't want to go back at noon, so she stayed at Yan Qingge's place to eat.

Xia Fan was thinking about Shui Yingcai's pregnancy, and deliberately asked the kitchen to make a lot of inconspicuous tonic meals, and the taste was very bland. Shui Ying frowned when she ate, but Yan Qingge, who usually eats lightly, felt that this meal was very appetizing.

After eating, Shui Ying was sleepy, Yan Qingge beckoned her to sleep in her room, and not long after Shui Ying lay down, Xia Fan walked in, her face was serious, she looked left and right, and said, "What about Concubine Shui." ”

"She was tired after eating, so I told her to sleep for a while." Yan Qingge said. When she was pregnant with a child before she was reborn, she was always snooze.

Xia Fan showed a relieved expression on her face, nodded and said, "Tell the side concubine to sleep." ”

Yan Qingge saw Xia Fan's performance, and felt that something should have happened, and asked puzzledly, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

Xia Fan was afraid that Shui Ying would make a noise, so she pulled Yan Qingge outside to talk a little, and said: "Concubine Yuan is here, and she complained to the queen, saying that a concubine in Chuxiu Palace wanted to kill Yuan Jin." ”

"Hey, Yuan Qianqian wants to dispose of a side concubine, and she still needs to come to the queen." Yan Qingge was puzzled.

According to Yuan Qianqian's consistent style of acting, if someone in the palace really wants to move Yuan Jian's finger, it should have been broken by Yuan Qianqian, and she still needs to report to the queen.

"There must be something wrong here, I have already asked someone to go to Chuxiu Palace to investigate." Xia Fan said.

The old and the young glanced at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw a possibility.

Yuan Qianqian didn't dare to touch the concubine, and came to the queen to complain, most likely because she couldn't move the concubine, for example, the concubine was pregnant.

This proves that Yan Qingge made a plan, Xia Fan made a move, and the two worked together, and the arrangement in Chuxiu Palace has initially shown its effect.

At the beginning, they attacked the prince's whole palace, if it was revealed that a concubine was pregnant this time, would it be far from the other concubines to be pregnant?

Yan Qingge was convinced of the method he had seen in the ancient books. She bowed her head to Xia Fan and said, "Auntie, I'll go out and have a look." ”

If it was true that someone in Chuxiu Palace was pregnant, this matter would definitely not be hidden. Shui Ying was prepared in advance, but it was very safe, for this matter, there was no need to call her to get up, just tell her to rest.

When he went out, Yan Qingge really saw three or five palace people kneeling at the door of the main hall of Fengzao Palace in the distance, looking like they were going to be punished. Many people pretended to be intentional or unintentional, and looked that way.

Xia Fan gently pointed to those aunts and explained to Yan Qingge: "Those are the people who serve around the prince's eldest son, Yuan Jin, usually the concubine of the Yuan side is very protective of her shortcomings, and the people who serve by Yuan Jin's side often have rewards, and they will not punish them if they conflict with others." It seems that this time the matter is not small. ”

At this time, at the gate of Fengzao Palace, another group of people came.

The first one was a woman in a bright green palace dress, she was not tall, and she was like a weak willow supporting the wind in her movements, curling Nana.

When she got a little closer, Yan Qingge recognized it, this girl, isn't it the Bi Ying who looks like her!

Bi Ying went straight to the direction of the main hall of Fengzao Palace, but when she was halfway down, she seemed to feel Yan Qingge's gaze, and raised her eyes to look at Yan Qingge.

Yan Qingge looked at her directly, and was startled.

I haven't seen her for a long time, Bi Ying's snow-colored complexion is darker, and she is a lot more capable, if it weren't for the demeanor and temperament on her body, she is still delicate and weak, just in terms of appearance, she is much closer to the current Yan Qingge!

It's winter now, the sun is not big, even Yan Qingge, who occasionally basks in front of the door, is covered a lot whiter, and there are no vegetables in winter, she eats meat, she is still a little fatter, and the muscles and flesh lines on her body have weakened a lot.

But Bi Ying doesn't have to be a coolie, and she doesn't have to go out to run around, she must have become so dark and strong, it must be deliberate.

Yan Qingge felt a disgust in his heart, this change in Bi Ying's appearance must have come from the prince's instructions, what does this prince want to do!
