Wen Xinlan stared slightly, looking at this matter is also mysterious.

Someone pretended to be her to summon Xu Baisen back to the palace, and stopped people outside the palace gate, and the order was changed.

immediately injured the person and sent it to her, which was obviously to give her a chance to punish the Xu family, and by the way, implicate Gan Peilin and Jiang Yu.

But this full court, apart from her, who else is so disgusted with Gan Peilin, and actually borrowed her knife to kill people?

The inner chamberlain walked over quickly, lowered his eyebrows, and whispered something in her ear.

Wen Xinlan immediately raised her head and said, "Since there is something strange about the matter, let's investigate it slowly." But before you find out, Xu Baisen, you are still guilty. ”

"Thank you, the Queen Mother, for allowing you to investigate this matter thoroughly." Xu Baisen bowed his head respectfully. "As long as this matter can be thoroughly investigated, justice will be given to the minister, and the minister is willing to wait."

"Then take the prison first and wait for the result." Wen Xinlan said this calmly.

Xu Baisen was still a little unwilling, he was thinking about the war in the previous dynasty. But when the words came to his mouth, he saw a sharp look from King Yeqing, and he lost his voice in an instant.

"In addition, the Xu Mansion must also be closely monitored." Wen Xinlan's face was cold and said, "This is also in case others have any intentions." ”

"Minister, obey the order." Xu Baisen didn't say much, and respectfully followed the guards and left the Golden Palace.

Gan Peilin then saluted the Queen Mother: "Thank you to the Queen Mother for being thoughtful, the concubine will retire." ”

"Wait." Wen Xinlan looked at her with a smile, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes.

"The Queen Mother still has orders?" Gan Peilin smiled admittedly.

"I'm afraid the prime minister's wife can't leave the palace." Wen Xinlan's eyes tightened slightly: "The heavenly prison is inappropriate, but you have to find a place for you to live first." ”

King Yeqing was a little puzzled, so he had to ask more: "Queen Mother, this Xu family's affairs have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion after all." The Prime Minister's wife doesn't seem to have to worry about this......"

"What King Yeqing said is reasonable." Wen Xinlan raised her chin slightly, her eyebrows frowned slightly: "But now that the prince of Chenguo is going to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, such an important matter, the mourning family only knows, I'm afraid there is something wrong." I have to ask the Prime Minister's wife to explain this matter carefully. ”

Why did Prince Yin go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Gan Peilin didn't know either. But since the Queen Mother asked, it was simple.

She saluted the Queen Mother calmly and smiled gently: "Princess Zhen in the house is in the third trimester of pregnancy, so I want to come to Prince Yin to visit her." Coincidentally, last night Princess Zhen broke the water and gave birth to a baby boy before dawn. At this time, there will be a lot of joy in the house. The concubine was worried about Xu Baisen's injury and death, so she rushed to Xu's mansion. When I left, I didn't see Prince Yin. ”

"Where is it so simple?" Wen Xinlan glanced at the inner attendant beside her with cold eyes: "You come on." ”

"Just a sentinel got the news. Prince Yin's troops were stationed less than ten miles outside the imperial city. The number of people has not yet been discovered, but ...... Enough to besiege the imperial city. The inner chamberlain drooped his head, and said something serious.

"How so?" King Huiqing was annoyed at that time. "Chen Kingdom is far away from the imperial city, and along the way, it must pass through many places. No one reported it, and they swaggered through the city and smashed the imperial city, and they were sheltered so easily. There must be someone in the court who should be in harmony with it. ”

After saying this, the courtiers all exploded.

Either to show loyalty to the Queen Mother, or to ask the Queen Mother to issue an order to fight against the Chenguo army, and then volunteered to arrest the traitor.

And the object of everyone's suspicion is the same person - Jiang Yu.

For a time, Gan Peilin became the target of public criticism.

Everyone looked at her like a beast of prey saw its prey.

Especially King Huiqing, he couldn't wait to pounce on it and bite a few bites to relieve his hatred.

"Queen Mother." Su Qizhe took a step forward and said with a cold face: "The minister begs the queen mother to issue an order and let the minister be responsible for protecting the safety of the prime minister's wife." First, the ministers are the best at these things, and second, there are traitors in the court, and it is not safe to hand them over to others. It would not be good if someone colluded with the prime minister to release the lady without permission. ”

When King Huiqing heard him say this, he thought of what had happened these days, and said: "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that it is most appropriate for King Qin to protect the Prime Minister's wife." ”

"Gan Peilin can't leave the palace for half a step." Wen Xinlan smiled: "You don't have to trouble King Qin to protect you." The guards in the palace are not vegetarians. ”

When Su Qizhe heard this, he knew that Wen Xinlan didn't believe him at all. can only stubbornly say: "It's all up to the Queen Mother." ”

"Right now, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been protected by Prince Yin's people. The mourning family sent Yu Linwei to fight, but it didn't work at all. The war outside is tight, but the imperial city is in crisis. King Qin. Wen Xinlan raised her chin slightly, and said slowly, word by word: "Take your people and clean up the situation ten miles outside the imperial city." That's all that matters. ”

"Obey." Su Qizhe respectfully responded, but admired the queen mother's cunning in his heart.

If he is gone, no one will be able to help Jiang Yu. And if he can't fight against Prince Yin's people, he will be treated as an ally.

In this way, the scenes he had worked so before were all in vain, and Jiang Yu was still alone.

"Let's go." Wen Xinlan saw that he didn't move, so she had to urge: "The emperor is young, and the imperial city must not allow the slightest mistake." The mourning family entrusted the emperor's net worth and life to King Qin. ”

Su Qizhe lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Thank you for the trust of the Queen Mother, the minister will not fail in his mission." ”

Su Qizhe retreated from the golden palace, and the whole person was not calm. Could it be that Jiang Yu really plans to collude with Chen Guo to join forces to force the palace?

Otherwise, with his current position, it is impossible not to know about the fact that Chen Guo marched into the imperial city in a big way.

This made him embarrassed, if Jiang Yu really wanted to rebel, how would he choose?

"Mrs. Prime Minister, please." The inner attendant walked up to Gan Peilin in a strange way.

Gan Peilin saluted Wen Xinlan and left with him.

Out of the Golden Palace, the inner chamberlain said with a smile: "The Prime Minister's wife has entered the palace many times, and she has been able to leave with her whole body every time before. But I don't know if it will work out this time! ”

Gan Peilin didn't say anything, just followed him and continued to walk forward.

"Let's go to the heart building." The inner eunuch entrusted her to the two little eunuchs, and said, "Princess Ting has lived there since she entered the palace. Now Princess Ting went to the west with General Ao. Xiaozhu was empty. Someone cleans it every day, but it's not a wronged lady. ”

"It's fine." Gan Peilin nodded: "After all, I have lived in it, and I am familiar with it." ”

The inner chamberlain saluted lightly, watched her go down, and then took a sip: "What a thing, I really think I am a lady." ”

Gan Peilin was indeed a little unhappy when he heard his words.

But his wife is honored by her husband, Jiang Yu has now become a traitor who is suspected by the whole dynasty, and she, who is a wife, of course cannot see any good face.

On the Golden Palace, it is still cloudy.

Wen Xinlan's face was really bad.

"Why are you all dumb?" She sat up slightly upright and looked around. "Now that the prince of Chenguo has come to the imperial city, don't you have any good countermeasures? King Yeqing? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, this matter, presumably someone should be in harmony with the outside, it couldn't be clearer." King Yeqing said with a tense face: "Now that you have assigned King Qin to fight, there will be nothing wrong with thinking about it." The most important thing at the moment is to strengthen the vigilance in the palace, which is really not possible...... The minister suggested that the emperor be sent out of the palace and placed in another place, so as to be in order. ”

"No." King Huiqing was annoyed at the time: "Before the war starts, the emperor will be sent away, King Yeqing, why do you guarantee that the outside of the palace is safer than the palace?" In case something happens to the emperor, can you afford to be guilty? ”

"So this matter must be done by someone who the Queen Mother can trust. The minister thought that His Royal Highness King Huiqing could do it. King Yeqing raised his chin slightly, and said bluntly: "Once the palace is besieged, the first traitor will take down the emperor." Only if the emperor is not in the palace, will he be safe. ”

"You're going to blame someone." King Huiqing was in a hurry for a while, and he didn't choose to speak.

"Definitely." King Yeqing frowned and said, "King Huiqing is the most suitable candidate. Are you unwilling to escort the emperor? ”

"Enough, stop arguing." Wen Xinlan said unhappily: "Before the war started, it is indeed inappropriate to send the emperor out of the palace." King Yeqing, you are in charge of the guards of the imperial city, if King Qin is unfavorable, the war will be lost. You must ensure that you are the second line of defense, and you must not let the bandits of the Chen Kingdom break into the palace. ”

"Minister, obey the order." King Yeqing responded against his will.

"King Huiqing." Wen Xinlan thought for a moment and said, "Ji Yang's battle situation is not optimistic. You immediately choose a general and lead your men to Jiyang to fight. ”

"Queen Mother...... King Huiqing was really stunned: "The big war is coming, you want to let the ministers go to Jiyang?" ”

"The mourning family said that it was for you to choose the generals, not for you to fight in person." Wen Xinlan looked at him unhappily. "Do you understand?"

King Huiqing understood now, she wanted to let herself hand over part of the military power in her hands. The Queen Mother was really thoughtful, and at this time, she still refused to use the power in her hands.

"Obey." King Huiqing was also reluctant.

"It doesn't matter if it's a war outside, whether it's a sword or a sword. In short, the government should not be wasted for a day. You have to go to the palace and go to court every day as usual, do you understand? Wen Xinlan looked around at the hundred officials with a majestic gaze.

"Weichen respectfully obeys the decree of the Queen Mother." Naturally, the officials did not dare to slack off.

"The mourning family wants to see Jiang Yu." Wen Xinlan frowned and said, "King Yeqing, I bother you to take him into the palace." ”

King Yeqing thought to himself, why did this troublesome matter be handed over to him.

"Still not going?" Wen Xinlan urged unhappily.

"Yes, now the safety of the entire imperial city is under the protection of King Yeqing. The Prime Minister's Mansion is naturally under your control. King Huiqing's eyes: "Then I have to work hard for King Yeqing." ”

"The minister will go immediately." King Yeqing arched his hand: "The minister retreats." ”

He left the palace with his front foot, and the officials scattered with their back foot.

King Huiqing and the Queen Mother had a knot in their hearts, and they didn't stay long.

However, Bao Que was a little worried: "Queen Mother, obviously you have a soldier in your hand that can be mobilized, why do you want to force King Huiqing to hand over his troops?" The big war is coming, aren't you afraid of his new resentment? ”

"The people in the hands of the mourning family are our last guarantee. How can it be easily revealed as a last resort? Wen Xinlan was a little unhappy: "Take a good look at Gan Peilin for the mourning family." She is the easiest and most effective move to clamp Jiang Yu. ”
