Takubahiro's mood on this day was the best in several years. The festival was busy until the middle of the night, and he couldn't sleep with excitement, so he summoned a queen, two concubines, and a few henchmen to the golden tent to hold a dinner to celebrate the victory.

But that night something happened again.

Lin Yuan was already thinking, although King Mu Wu had solved it, but the poor emperor's eldest son was lost in the chaos, how could Tuoba Hong be happy? However, when Lin Yuan entered the tent and sat on the seat, he looked forward and saw a six- or seven-year-old little hairy head sitting on the seat on Tuoba Hong's right, and on the right side of the little hairy head was Shen Zhaoyuan with a long face and a gentle smile.

Lin Yuan didn't know the situation at all.

The young Zhao Wang and Shen Yunrong looked pretty good, they were a little emaciated, but there were no scars on their bodies, so they shouldn't have suffered anything.

It's just that Empress Xiao's face began to distort uncontrollably.

Tuoba Hong explained to everyone with a smile: "A few days ago, there was turmoil in the North Palace, and the ministers and thieves actually kidnapped my eldest son...... Fortunately, King Zhao returned safely, and I was very relieved......"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the right prime minister hurriedly stood up and congratulated King Zhao on his safety, and the scholar Xu of the Hanlin Academy stood up and scolded King Mu Wu, who had been executed, and the golden tent was very lively. Yes, poor King Mu Wu's rebellion failed to ruin his reputation, and now he has another sin of holding the prince hostage.

There was even a courtier who stood up and suggested to the emperor that the Shuren Tuoba Yi (the original King Muwu) was so evil that even the young King Zhao wanted to murder him, so he simply took it out and whipped the corpse.

Of course, the emperor refuted him righteously: "Tuoba Yi is the bloodline of the Holy Ancestor, how can he be humiliated?" I'm not such a ruthless tyrant. ”

"The emperor is really a Ming Jun! Generous and benevolent ......" resounded with a large number of flattering words at the bottom.

The courtier who made the suggestion said: "The emperor is benevolent, but the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the crime of disobedience to the common people is so great, how can he pay for it with death?" His Royal Highness King Zhao is also the Venerable of Gold and Jade, this time he was almost killed, how can he easily spare the murderer! In the opinion of Wei Chen, the two major crimes of rebellion and murder of King Zhao should be connected! ”

"Well, that's a good point." Tuoba Hong nodded: "Then pass on the decree to expel Tuoba Yi's children and grandchildren from the royal family, give the men poisonous wine, and the female dependents into slavery." ”

The people below were stunned when they heard it. In a few words, the emperor washed the blood up and down the Muwu Palace, and was praised as "generous...... Muwu Wangfu is really miserable!

The battle for royalty has always been like this. The people here today are all the emperor's close ministers and confidants, and there are not a few people who know about it like Lin Yuan, knowing that King Zhao's disappearance has nothing to do with Tuoba Yi, but it is not easy for the emperor to deduct a few more crimes.

"The concubines congratulate the emperor on the joy of quelling the rebellion, and congratulate the king of Zhao on his peace." At the joyful celebration banquet, Lin Yuan raised his glass and toasted to the emperor with a smile.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Empress Xiao's pale face.

God knows how devastated Empress Xiao was at this time. Not because King Zhao and Shen Yunrong came back, but because they were found by the emperor...... The reason for King Zhao's loss was also detained on the heads of the rebellious people!

Originally, this strategy was a dangerous move, and it was a big sin to make up your mind on the emperor's only son, and it was possible to abolish her position if she didn't do it well. However, Queen Xiao didn't plan to succeed at one time, she just gambled and fished in troubled waters in the chaos of King Muwu's rebellion, even if King Zhao escaped in the end, she also had countless ways to retreat in such a chaotic scene, and it was quite convincing to push it to the head of the rebellious army casually and even say that King Zhao himself was lost. Coupled with the fact that the emperor was busy dealing with the war and was distracted, how many times better than before he was able to deal with it, Empress Xiao felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But the current situation is completely beyond her control, and the emperor personally found King Zhao back, so how did the emperor find it? How much do you know? Will it be suspicious of her?

Empress Xiao felt that she had never been afraid of anyone in her life, how many times had she done the big crimes of murder and arson, and beheading. Only for Tuoba Hong, she has no confidence at all.

She was holding a gold bottle with a pair of slightly white finger bones, and when she looked up, she only felt that Hui Guiyi in front of her was a little ghosted. She pressed her head down to her temples, forcing herself not to show her feet.

On the side, Shen Zhaoyuan's eyes had been fixed on the queen for a long time. She tilted her head and said to the queen very gently: "The eldest son of the emperor has had an accident in the past few days, and the queen mother has worked very hard, and now she looks a little haggard." ”

The queen didn't have the heart to deal with Shen's cynicism. A few months ago, she used "one inch of thought" to murder Concubine Xiang and blame Shen Yunrong, but now she has failed to murder King Zhao again. She was increasingly worried that she would be found out by the Emperor - or had already found out! At least an inch of thought, the emperor must have doubts, and the matter of King Zhao is afraid that it has also been missed.

The queen is now worried and resentful.

Shen Zhaoyuan said, and a sharp knife-like look revealed in her gentle smile swept to Lin Yuan again: "I heard that Hui Guiyi was also lost in the chaotic army, and she is in sympathy with us." Hui Guiyi, how are you? ”

Freemasonry...... Lin Yuan bit the word.

Shen Yunrong has been wooing her, especially now!

Lin Yuan's hands slowly clenched, she never wanted to let go of people like the queen who used her as cannon fodder. Although she doesn't have a good impression of Shen Yunrong, if she can, she can take advantage of the current time to join forces to pull the queen off the horse......

As soon as this thought came to mind, the queen on the side coughed lightly: "Guiyi is not as deep as King Zhao's blessing, and he has been ill for many days after being sent back by a female official in Mongolia. ”

Lin Yuan held back stiffly. She cautiously glanced at the emperor above, and said with a resumption: "The emperor, the empress mother, and His Royal Highness King Zhao must have a lot to say, and the concubine retreated first." ”

Tuoba Hong bowed slightly.

Lin Yuan returned to her seat in distraught, and that nasty feeling came again-she couldn't control her fate, but she was choked by someone. The queen's threat is a knife hanging over her head, so that she does not dare to act rashly, and will take her life at any time.

The matter of being rescued by the Mongol army and sent back to the camp of the Qin army can be big or small for a concubine. If it is as said on the face that he was rescued by a female officer, then there will be no problem; But if it is known that he was rescued by the king of the Khan himself and ordered a female official to escort him...... This kind of rumor is terrible to spread.

The Khan King is a life-saving grace to her, a hero saves a beauty, and the next step will always be associated with a personal promise. To make matters worse, it happened on the battlefield, and everything was chaotic to the extreme, and young girls were taken away by enemy forces to be used as military prostitutes, even in modern times. Guess further, Khan King Yuanlie has a reputation for violence, if he suddenly saved an irrelevant woman on the battlefield with a kind heart, who would believe it? He's eighty percent of the beauty's flower and moon appearance......

Therefore, most people who know about this will take the answer in the most crooked direction. If Lin Yuan's husband Tuoba Hong knew, he didn't know what he would think.

Lin Yuan was also helpless at the beginning, so she asked for the head of the Mongolian Khan because she wanted to save her life, and the Mongolian female official didn't want to prove her innocence because she didn't want to wade into troubled waters. Now...... Only the queen knows the inside story of this matter, and as long as the queen is willing, this matter will be spread all over the palace. We have to think of a way to solve this problem quickly.

Lin Yuan was worried, and the queen was also uncertain, but Shen Zhaoyuan's eyes glowed with a look that was completely different from others.

For someone like Shen Yunrong, the terrifying experience of escaping death a few days ago did not affect her excitement in the slightest. Years of depression made her extremely eager for the highest position, when she held her son, ran through the dense forest covered in mud but saw the Qin army who came to the rescue, at that moment she realized that the queen was going to plant this time.

Because he was exposed for hiding poison in the palace, he lost his sacred heart and was demoted? Oh, how could this crush her! She and Tuoba Hong, who have been husband and wife for more than ten years, know that this saint will not have too much affection for anyone, and who he treats and gives him a high position is just because this person is suitable, not because this person is really a courtier who is loyal to the monarch or a virtuous concubine.

If you have a bad reputation, it doesn't matter if you can't be a queen...... What if there was no queen in the palace at all? The harem needs someone in power, so there must be a concubine who is in charge, not a queen, but it's almost the same.

Shen Yunrong almost laughed out loud thinking about this.

A dinner party of singing and dancing, Tuoba Hong was extremely happy, but the rest of the people had their own thoughts.

Everyone feasted and drank straight three watches before gradually dispersed.

Tuoba Hong was slightly drunk, he stretched out his hand and hooked in the direction of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's heart mentioned his throat. These days are chaotic outside, Tuoba Hong is busy until late at night and goes to bed alone, is it here to go to bed today? Or is it the case of the Mongol Khan......

She stepped forward tremblingly.

She knew that the Mongol Khan had stayed in Beisai and never returned, and in a few days he held a diplomatic ceremony with the Qin State, and accepted a large amount of property from Tuoba Hong, and she didn't know if he said anything unfavorable to herself...... In fact, as long as he claimed to have ordered the female official to rescue him, then Tuoba Hong would not have any trouble. I'm afraid that someone will add fuel and vinegar.

This kind of thing is really a big deal. A young woman, alone in the wilderness, was rescued by a man from another country, let alone a woman in the palace, even a girl from an ordinary family would be damaged in her reputation. If a well-educated ancient girl encounters this kind of thing, she would rather die than ask a strange man for help, Lin Yuan's brain was hot, and she couldn't care so much about her life.

When she walked up to the emperor, she saw the emperor pull her by with one hand, stretched out his hand and pointed into the curtain of the side hall, and said, "I have something to discuss with you...... Look at this child, how about placing her in your house temporarily? It's really inconvenient for the queen to ......"

Lin Yuan patted his chest and calmed down, stunned for a moment before he carefully understood what the emperor was saying.

Then came an even greater consternation. She hurried into the side hall in three steps, stared at the thin figure that flashed out from behind the screen, and then turned her head to look at the emperor: "This...... This kid ......"

"Well, she is the child who was raised outside the palace. She said that she met you while she was running for her life, and that she had been with you for a day, but then she got separated. She begged me to let her live with you. Tuoba Hong instructed the two palace maids on the side: "Move all the things of the emperor to Guiyi's tent." ”
