The Kou family fell silently, and for a few days in a row, Kou Qin was no longer seen in the court, which made the courtiers completely lose their direction.

Before the emperor agreed to investigate Qin Huaijin, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military thought that the emperor did not trust Qin Huaijin so much, but now Kou Qin, who took the lead in participating in Qin Huaijin, disappeared directly into the court, which made all the ministers tremble a little. I still think in my heart that it is worthy of the Qin family, and the emperor is still favored to the end!

Kou Qin was directly placed under house arrest by the emperor, and he himself knew that his current situation was mostly cold, although the emperor had not yet issued an order to punish the crime, but he knew that the Kou family was finished.

The emperor can't pay off the Kou family at once, and Qin Huaijin has also persuaded that Kou Qin's status is not low, if he directly uses thunder methods, I am afraid it will attract discussions. In addition, the face of the prince under the knee of Xin Guifei is there, and the Kou family cannot be directly killed with a stick.

There is a problem in the court, and the problem in the harem is not small, Concubine Xin's letters have not been delivered, and I don't know what the situation is in my mother's family, so anxious that she is like an ant on a hot pot.

"It's going to be fine, there is a prince in this palace, and now there is another one in the stomach, even if my father really makes any mistakes, the emperor will not be so ruthless!" Xin Guifei muttered, and then said: "It must be the Qin family who is bad, my father is in power, and now there is no news at all, this is impossible!"

The palace maid said: "Niangniang, no matter what happens now, Niangniang also has to protect the heir of the emperor in her belly, as long as this child is born, Niangniang is considered a meritorious person, no matter what happens to the boss of our family, the emperor will also open the net!" ”

When Concubine Xin heard this, she said, "But even so, my father has lost power, where can I have a good life in this palace in the future?" "She can be a concubine all the way, and her father can't get rid of it, if her father collapses, in this harem, can the queen spare her?

"Niangniang, bear with me, there is no other way now!" The palace maid persuaded that the Kou family was under house arrest, what else could they do in this harem?

Xin Guifei thought about it: "Now there is only one way!" "The emperor does not have many heirs, if the prince dies, then her son must be the prince!

At this time, the newly promoted Yu Guifei of Luan Feng Hall looked at Shen Xiaoyu who was sitting opposite, just like she looked at Shen Xiaoyu many years ago, she still looked at Shen Xiaoyu carefully.

When she knew that Qin Huaijin had someone else in her heart, she was also disappointed in her heart, but she was a princess who came with her relatives, and it was unlikely that she would be with Qin Huaijin, so she still felt that Qin Huaijin liked Shen Xiaoyu, she still felt that she had a sense of superiority, she was a princess after all.

It's just that later I knew that Gong Yanshang saw that a woman had so much ability, and she had to accept her fate, a woman like Shen Xiaoyu could get ahead even in Dawan, and Qin Huaijin couldn't understand that she liked such a woman.

"Guifei Niangniang, you called me here, is there anything ......?" Shen Xiaoyu asked softly, it's been a while since she came, and Concubine Yu has been staring at her, and she is going to stare at her.

Shen Xiaoyu asked, and Concubine Yu came back to her senses and said, "It's okay, I'm just looking for you to sit down." ”

"Sit down?" Shen Xiaoyu asked: "Now is not the time to sit, Xin Guifei is afraid that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, and Niangniang should be careful here." "She is still worried about the prince and Qin Qingyue.

Yu Guifei said: "I know, that's why I came to you, I have eyeliner in Xin Guifei, what's the matter, I also know." ”

Shen Xiaoyu was surprised, so he asked, "Eyeliner?" When? ”

"It's been a long time." Yu Guifei said.

Shen Xiaoyu really thought that this jade concubine did not compete for favor earlier, but he was wrong, not competing for favor does not mean that other people's jade concubines lack heart, but they are also from the royal family, and they also know that little bit of deception.

"What do you want to say......?" Shen Xiaoyu asked, "As long as the mother has something to say, I will definitely tell the queen." ”

Yu Guifei said: "It's okay, you can go back." ”

"Huh?" Shen Xiaoyu blinked, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Leaving the Luanfeng Palace, Shen Xiaoyu hurried back to the East Palace, they had already guessed that Concubine Xin had a back hand, so they were on guard everywhere, this time they entered the door, and they saw that the queen was asking Gu Siyan to give acupuncture to a little eunuch, and everyone's expressions were also very solemn.

"Something's wrong?" Shen Xiaoyu asked, looking at Qin Qingyue's pale face, he asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, but there's something wrong with this little waiter who tested the poison!" Qin Qingyue said.

Gu Siyan just wiped his sweat here and said, "My life is saved, I can rest and recuperate." ”

The queen nodded, asked people to send Gu Siyan first, and then asked the palace maid and eunuch to take the little chamberlain back to the room to lie down first.

Qin Qingyue told what happened, Shen Xiaoyu was also helpless, Xin Guifei still chose such a path in the end.

"Now even if Concubine Xin really gives birth to a son, don't think about a good end!" The queen really gritted her teeth with hatred, this Xin Guifei can be used in any kind of cheap means, and now she still wants to poison the East Palace, today the prince failed to come back in the imperial study, plus there are silver needles and poison tests, this East Palace has to let Xin Guifei take a nest!

Shen Xiaoyu said: "Hurry up and report to the emperor." "Xin Guifei blocked all her back roads.

After this incident, Concubine Xin Guifei will at least be placed under house arrest, and no one will threaten the East Palace after that.

Shen Xiaoyu thought that she was not far from the day of leaving the palace, and she hurried out of the palace after the dust settled, no matter how big the room in the palace was, it was not as good as at home!

The Qin family outside the palace is really lively now, and now the first major event is the imperial examination in March, every time when it comes to the big examination, the gate of the Qin family is blocked by water, and many students who want to enter the office also want to become Qin Huaijin's protégé, so as to open the door to the official career, and then they can also move forward smoothly.

However, Qin Huaijin has not paid much attention to it, after all, he is from the household department, not the official department, and he doesn't want to ask too much about the selection of talents, lest someone come to participate in the performance.

"I can't go out, I still want to ask Ziyan to go to Liyuan Spring to listen to the play!" Qin Jiahan was helpless, and three pieces of wood were used at the gate, otherwise people outside the door would be able to break through the door.

Qin Jiaxuan pointed to the root of the wall and said, "In a while, my sister will take you to fly freely, and Gu Jing and I are going to Deshun Building to eat three fresh dumplings!" ”

Qin Jiahan saw that the ladders were ready, he really deserved to be his sister, and the two of them saw that the time was almost up, so they slipped over the wall directly.

Qin Huaijin was at home, and seeing that there was still half a month to take the big exam, he went to Shen Hai to take a look, the environment in this house was really not suitable for reading, so if he couldn't think about it, let Shen Hai go to the Qin family's other courtyard outside the city, so as not to be affected by the noise at home.

As soon as Shen Hai heard that he was going to the side courtyard, he said, "If you want to go to the other courtyard, I want a few classmates to go over together." ”

"Then it's up to you, let the family prepare whatever you need, and you must not slack off these days." Qin Huaijin instructed, and then asked the housekeeper to help prepare, the time is tight, the closer the big exam, the more many students' mentality collapses, and the cold window of ten years can not be delayed here at the end.

Shen Hai nodded, and then hurriedly left, the other courtyard was sparsely populated, and Qin Huaijin also deliberately patted a few government soldiers to go together to ensure the safety of people.

Because of the affairs of the Kou family, the forbidden army now has to mention his life, Xiao Xu was not implicated this time, and naturally remembered Qin Huaijin's favors, so Qin Huaijin hired people, and Xiao Xu was very happy to send people.

The emperor received the file of the secret investigation of the Great Li Temple, and knew who could use it and who could not use it, and the new official department Shangshu quickly accepted his fate. Although Concubine Xin Guifei wanted to poison the prince in the palace, although it was not poked out, but Concubine Xin was also placed under house arrest in her own bedroom, and the prince under her knees was given to other palace concubines who had no reputation.

Shen Xiaoyu was looking forward to leaving the palace every day in the palace, but he first looked forward to the news that Concubine Xin was about to give birth.

"I heard that it's been an hour since I was born, but I still haven't given birth yet." The palace maid came to report, and when the queen heard it, she said very indifferently: "People live for a lifetime, they can't do bad things, they can't do things that are still in heaven, otherwise they will be retributed." ”

Shen Xiaoyu listened and said: "Children are always innocent...... Concubine Xin is lacking in morality, but the child has not done anything bad. Concubine Xin already has a child who has been taken to someone else to feed, which can be regarded as retribution.

The queen sighed: "If you give birth to a child and send it to someone else to raise, you can't be wronged after all." "She is not a bad person in the end, no matter how crazy Concubine Xin is, after all, she is different from Concubine Xin, and she still has to live an upright life in the future.

Qin Qingyue touched her stomach, her stomach had been five months in a blink of an eye, and Shen Xiaoyu had lived in the palace for more than two months.

The queen said at this time: "The crown princess is pregnant, and I still want to give the crown prince Naliangdi a side concubine, but there are no women of the right age in Kyoto City all of a sudden." ”

Shen Xiaoyu listened, and he had some count in his heart.

Previously, Qin Qingyue was said to be hard-fated, to kill a good woman, and to overcome illness, even if the courtiers wanted to be prosperous and rich, they had no intention of pushing their daughter into the fire pit, so as soon as the draft was over, they also set a family affair for their daughter.

Now the queen wants to find women from various families to be good friends, but she really can't find a suitable person for a while, and the right person is not idle, and they have adopted goddaughters, but the queen feels that these goddaughters are one layer worse, so the matter of taking concubines has been delayed until now.

When Shen Xiaoyu heard that she wanted to accept a concubine, she raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything, and the queen reacted: "This is also afraid that Qingyue will work hard alone." "It is indeed inappropriate to say in front of other people's sisters-in-law that you want to marry a little wife for the prince.

After all, the queen is not very keen on marrying a little wife for her son, after all, she is also a woman, and the emperor would not have accepted the harem if it were not for the government.
