On the day of Xiao Han's consent, all the princes, including Prince Zhuang, and the other two princes who had no heirs, entered the palace together and waited for the emperor's summons.

Emperor Wu'an set the place of summoning at Yong'an Palace, and after they arrived, they entered the palace together and knelt down: "The ministers and others knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

"Ahem... It's all my own family... No need to be so polite, ahem, flat..."A weak voice came from above.

The prince and the princes immediately got up and secretly looked up to determine if the other party was really Emperor Wu An himself.

Emperor Wu An naturally noticed the small movements below, but he pretended not to see it and communicated with them in a weak tone.

The three princes and the princes stepped forward to express their concern, and at the same time offered various precious medicinal materials brought by them, and the words of blessing were even more gushing, which seemed to be very related to the health of Emperor Wu'an.

Emperor Wu'an's heart was like a mirror, and he naturally understood what kind of thoughts they had in their hearts, but he accepted them all and kept praising them.

In the end, Emperor Wu An said with a pale face: "You all have hearts, and you are all filial, and you have also seen my body." Qin Tian has calculated and said that if I want to recover as soon as possible, I need the children of the royal family to 'pray for me' together, and since you are all here and care about me so much, I guess you won't object, right?! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the palace, and all the princes looked at each other, and no one knew how to speak.

If you open your mouth, it means that you are 'voluntary' to stay and become a 'proton'.

These princes are naturally unhappy, after all, they also have brothers, if they stay in the capital for a long time, who knows if they can sit firmly in the position of the prince after they go back?

Also, if their father is really against him, then they are likely to become 'abandoned sons', and what awaits them at that time will only be 'death without a place to be buried'!

Emperor Wu An smiled and said: "Why don't you speak, didn't you just say it one by one?" Could it be that you don't want to pray for my 'physical well-being'? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone knelt on the ground, busy denying it, this kind of thing is a big crime of robbing the family and exterminating the clan, and such a hat cannot be buckled no matter what!

At this time, Prince Zhuang, who had been extremely quiet, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty's health, the minister has always been worried, and I also want to pray for Your Majesty." It's just that Your Majesty should know that the minister's only son has just been born, and this time it was because he was worried about His Majesty's health that he deliberately entered Beijing. The minister is really worried about the princess and the prince, if His Majesty agrees, the minister will definitely bring the princess and the prince to the capital and reunite with the minister, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds! ”

Emperor Wu An smiled: "The crown prince is already old, I may not have seen a young child for a long time, so it stands to reason that I should have agreed." But Prince Zhuang has thought clearly, the prince is your only child, although your fief is not far from the capital, but the journey is tiring, the child may not be able to stand it, right?! It is better for Prince Zhuang to think carefully about this matter, if you insist on this, I don't mind the holy decree and invite them over. ”

Prince Zhuang was silent for a moment and then said: "It's because the minister is not thoughtful, the prince is indeed too young, it is more appropriate to stay in the fief." ”

Emperor Wu An showed a smile at this time: "That's right, besides, if you stay in the capital, you can also write home at any time to express your longing." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" All salute.

Emperor Wu An coughed a few more times, showed a tired look, and said with a smile: "My health is not yet well, and I will have to pray for me in the future." It's not too early, so go back and rest early! Oh yes, you can tell Pingle everything you need, it's all from the Internal Affairs Office! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

After seeing everyone leave, Emperor Wu An coughed a few more times, a little blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his face became extremely pale. When Gonggong Liu saw it, he immediately took the pill and asked Emperor Wu An to take it.

After taking the pill, Emperor Wu'an's face improved significantly, and he didn't continue to cough, which made Gonggong Liu breathe a sigh of relief. However, he didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately ordered the little eunuch under his command to invite Bai Suzi over.

The news of Yong'an Palace naturally reached Xiao Han and Xiao Qi's ears, and she led Xiao Qi to Yong'an Palace in a hurry, but was blocked by Gonggong Liu outside the palace gate, Gonggong Liu shook his head and didn't say a word.

But Xiao Han knew that at this time, it was probably Bai Suzi who was administering needles inside, so she didn't say anything more, and led Xiao Qi back to Changchun Palace.

After that, Xiao Han ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange everyone to go to the palace on the outskirts of Beijing to pray for Emperor Wu'an. However, she did not restrict their movements, but everyone's every move was under her watch. Once they have any changes, or if there is any news in the letter sent back, it will be transmitted to Xiao Han as soon as possible.

Considering the relationship between Prince Zhuang and Xie Lingzhi, she asked people to pay attention to them to see if the two of them were secretly in contact.

thought that there would be no problem in a short period of time, but the facts told Xiao Han that she was still too naïve.

Soon a heavy snowfall fell from the ocean for three consecutive days, causing crops to freeze to death in many places. In the past, it was hard to imagine that in April, there would be such a big snowstorm.

At this time, rumors began to spread among the people, saying that Princess Pingle was in charge of the country as a woman, and this behavior violated the gods. If this behavior is not stopped immediately, I am afraid that the Jin Kingdom will suffer an even greater disaster, which is the heavenly punishment brought by violating the gods!

Originally, who would govern the country had nothing to do with the common people, but after suffering such a big snowstorm, the crops in the field froze to death, which made the people vent all their grievances on this princess Pingle.

There are even people among the people who have organized and written the 'Book of the People', demanding that the identity of the 'princess of the prison country' be abolished, and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be in charge of the country instead, so that heaven and earth are orthodox, and God will no longer blame them.

When this matter reached Xiao Han's ears, the rumors had already spread among the people, and it was impossible to completely eliminate the rumors. The only thing that can be done is to appease the people as soon as possible and completely quell this 'public grievance'. However, if it is allowed to develop, I am afraid it will cause great harm to Xiao Han!

Xiao Han's face was gloomy as water because of this incident, and a new wave of turmoil began in the government and the opposition, and those who had previously opposed it began to use the guise of 'public opinion' to make Princess Pingle give up the prison and return the rights to His Royal Highness the Prince, and unswervingly believed that the prince was the orthodox, and the future prince, and the state affairs only needed to be handled by His Royal Highness the Prince, and there was no need to bother the princess at all.

If she could, Xiao Han also thought about picking on her son, but she promised the emperor's uncle and Xiao Qi, so it was not so easy to withdraw.

And Xiao Yan's attitude made it clear that he didn't mind having Princess Pingle and him co-supervise the country, and even openly scoffed at the so-called rumors, which made Xiao Han feel a lot better.

It's just that the water in the DPRK is too deep, and once the rumors arise, it is not so simple to calm down. What's more, the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, and even the rumors that Princess Pingle is the 'reincarnation of the evil star' have begun to spread.

Xiao Han initially ordered the household department to open a warehouse for disaster relief, and sent his most trusted Zhang Wang and Cui Guangxi to supervise, and then ordered to exempt the severely affected places for one year.

As various measures continue to be arranged, the people's reaction has actually begun to gradually subside, but I don't know who is manipulating behind the scenes, and they have always refused to let the rumors subside. 、

At this time, the princes and princes who should have been in the palace also suddenly entered the palace and unanimously demanded that Pingle's identity as the 'princess of the prison country' be abolished, and even bluntly said that Pingle was not His Majesty's blood, and even the princess's dignity was not worthy of it, and it should be taken away together.

And this statement also attracted many people's agreement, which made Xiao Qi angry, and even theorized with them.

But by this time, Xiao Han had completely calmed down, and it was too much of a coincidence that all kinds of things came together. She didn't believe that no one was manipulating this matter behind the scenes, since the other party was so troublesome, she might as well push the boat down the river and see what the other party was having!

She completely ignored the verbal criticism of these princes and princes, and directly ordered people to 'send off guests'. After sending everyone back to the palace, she immediately ordered her guards to investigate the rumors thoroughly, and make sure to find out where the rumors came from! Who is the main messenger behind the scenes!

The speed of the secret guards was very fast, but they didn't find out the mastermind behind the scenes, they only found out that the news came from a storyteller named Zhang Yi, and then it spread more and more, and Zhang Yi gradually began to show up.

After Xiao Han got the news, he sneered: "It seems that this palace is going to meet this person named Zhang Yi for a while!" ”

On the news from the secret guard, Zhang Yi's address was naturally attached, she changed into a man's clothes, left Xiao Qi to deal with the rest of the official business, and led two maidservants dressed as small servants to turn around and go out of the palace, and went straight to where Zhang Yi was.

It's just that after arriving at the place, Xiao Han found that the door of Zhang Yi's house was locked, and a lot of dust had fallen on the door lock, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time, which made Xiao Han's heart sink.

It happened that an elderly middle-aged woman next door walked out, and when she saw them, she showed a puzzled expression: "Who are you?" ”

Cuiwei was about to reply, but was stopped by Xiao Han, she stood up and said: "Xiaosheng heard that there is a storyteller named Zhang Yi who is very famous, and my father is like this, and I want to invite this Mr. Zhang Yi to go to the house to tell the old man." It's just that, looking at the door lock, it seems that this place has not been inhabited for a long time. Do you know Mr. Zhang's whereabouts? If you can tell us, you will be grateful! After saying that, he took out the silver ingot from his purse.

When the middle-aged woman saw the silver ingot, her eyes were about to glow, this was ten taels of silver, enough for the family's expenses for two or three years, which naturally made her heart move!

She thought about it for a while before she said cautiously: "The old woman doesn't know when Zhang Yi moved out, but she knows where Zhang Yi's father-in-law's house is, maybe he went to his father-in-law's house!" ”

This can be regarded as a clue, Xiao Han smiled and presented the tattooed silver: "Thank you, this silver belongs to you, and I hope you will inform me of the address!" ”

Then the old woman said the address of Zhang Yue's father-in-law's house word for word, and Xiao Han heard it and found that it was not far from the capital. It's still early, and if you rush over now, you should still be able to return before the gates close!

She led Cuiwei and Ziluo to rent three horses directly and went straight to Zhang Yi's father-in-law's house.

Zhang Yi's father-in-law's house is in a small village not far from the outskirts of Beijing, where there are mountains and rivers, but it is not a poor country.

When Xiao Han and the others arrived, it was just noon, and they quickly found Zhang Yi's father-in-law's house according to the address given by the old woman. It's just that she knocked for a long time and no one answered, so she motioned for Ziluo to go over the wall and go in to see what the situation was.

Soon Ziluo turned it out and whispered in her ear: "Master, something happened, and the people inside are dead!" The subordinates have seen it, they are all killed with a knife, clean and neat, and they have just died, so they should have been killed! ”

never expected that it would be this result, which made Xiao Han a little unacceptable, she didn't expect her to hurry up or be a step late!

At this time, a man came over drunk, and when he saw them, he scolded in a low voice: "Who are you, why are you standing at the door of my house?!" Get out of the way! ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Han asked in a deep voice, "Dare to ask you if you are 'Zhang Yi'?!" ”

The drunken Zhan Yi first burped, and then said with a drunken mouth: "Yes, Lao Tzu will not change his name or surname, he will be called Zhang Yi!" Who the hell are you! ”

I didn't expect that it would be 'another village', which made Xiao Han couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then signaled Ziluo to control Zhang Yi, and then said: "Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, you have made up so many rumors about the palace, and now you don't know the palace, which surprised the palace." Look at the vivid appearance you made up before, this palace thought you grew up watching this palace! ”

As soon as he heard the 'main palace', Zhang Yi was excited, and most of the wine woke up, and asked tremblingly: "Are you..."

Xiao Han said lightly: "That's right, it's what you think, but the most important thing at the moment is another thing." Don't you think it's strange that you've just made such a loud noise, but there's no movement in it? ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and asked Cuiwei to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the pungent smell of blood wafted from inside. There were four people lying inside, a man and two women, and a young child, it was Zhang Yi's old father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as his wife and children, all of whom died!

Zhang Yi saw that the whole person was paralyzed to the ground, looking at Xiao Han's eyes full of hatred, and shouted loudly: "I'm going to kill you!" As he spoke, he was about to rush towards Xiao Han.
