176 There is no city that cannot be conquered

Tossed until midnight, when leaving Anle Palace, Xiang Ye only sent someone to the Empress Dowager's palace to deliver good news, and he took Min'er straight back to Shangyang Palace. The two were still walking hand in hand, the wind was getting cooler and colder the night, and the emperor suddenly stopped and asked Min'er: "Is it cold?" ”

Min'er shook her head and asked him: "Why is the emperor unhappy that he has a son, if you are afraid that I will be jealous, you don't have to." The emperor knows that I like children, although I will feel a little uncomfortable, but Concubine Shu worked hard to fight for her life, and I admire her very much. ”

"Self-inflicted." Xiang Ye sneered, took Min'er's hand and continued to walk forward, but it didn't take long for him to say slowly, "But it's true...... It's me who is unfair, she has paid her youth and hard work for me, but the moment she gave birth and gave birth, I actually thought about you, thinking that I didn't want you to suffer too, afraid that you would also face life and death. Because of the unfairness to her, even with the heart for you, it has become impure. ”

"It's going to be fine, the emperor is thinking nonsense, although it is a big deal when something happens, but in the end, it is a minority, people will be nervous and attach importance to life, listen to the doctor's words and take care of yourself, giving birth to children is an innate ability, isn't it?" Min'er said a lot, but she didn't seem to be able to convince the emperor, in fact, she herself understood the importance of this, so she could only smile and say, "If I really have a child, the emperor should not sigh if you have nothing to do, but be more festive and happy, otherwise I will tell the queen mother and let the queen mother talk about you." ”

Xiang Ye glanced at her: "I'm talking seriously." ”

But there are some things he doesn't want to explain, Concubine Shu is in his heart, no matter what, he still saves face, he doesn't want to find out Concubine Shu'er's wishes, or ambitions, he should control all this, don't give Concubine Shu a chance to go crooked, and don't let Min'er be hurt. It is he who enjoys the blessings of all people, and he can no longer let women suffer tragedy, and it is even more strange that it is the fault of women, Concubine Shu may have something wrong, but she has done nothing wrong.

The emperor calmed down: "I know, let's talk first, if we have children, if there is any problem, we must listen to me." ”

Min'er nodded: "Remember, if you don't listen to the emperor, who else listen?" She smiled and said, "Then the emperor gave me a smile, I kept my face stiff all night, and Feng'er was not happy to be close to you." ”

Xiang Ye pinched her face and scolded: "I'm just teasing you?" It's getting bigger and smaller, but you should laugh at me first? ”

Min'er really laughed at him, relying on the darkness to pester people, Xiang Ye was so troubled by her, but she was happy in her heart. is also because she is happy, and she is even more emotionally touched by Min'er's bearing and mind, so many things have happened tonight, but she can act as if nothing has happened, and she still has the mind to mess around and be affectionate, but she is a dignified emperor who piles up some messy things in her heart.

But normal people should be as preoccupied as the emperor, everything Min'er showed may not be to make him laugh, at this moment, more people are restless about tonight's events.

In the Begonia Palace, Wang Jieyu held her son and coaxed him to go, an eight-year-old child, but she held it in her arms and refused to let go, Xiangwei quietly walked in from the door, she looked up and signaled her not to open her mouth. After carefully putting his son on the bed, covering him with a quilt, and watching it for a long time, Wang retreated and asked Xiangwei coldly, "What's wrong?" ”

"The lady concubine gave birth to a little prince, and the emperor and the queen mother went to guard it personally, and the mother and son are safe now." Xiangwei said.

"Got it, the congratulatory gift is ready in the morning, and you can send it over tomorrow." Wang was very happy in her heart, with the matter of Concubine Shu, maybe that matter would be downplayed, and she would not be afraid of killing people at all, but she also hoped that she would not find out about herself.

"Master......" Xiangwei's voice sounded trembling, "there is one more thing." ”

Wang said impatiently: "Don't talk in a hurry. ”

Xiangwei was timid, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "I heard that the guards are checking the people who left the Antai Hall tonight, master, where did you run in the middle of the middle, someone has already reported your name, and Ming'er should come to check." ”

Wang snorted: "Didn't I tell you very clearly, I'll come back to rest and let you look at His Highness?" When they come to check, they will check, what else can they do. ”

Xiangwei pursed her lips, her face full of confusion.

"How?" The Wang family suddenly came up to her and frightened Xiangwei, "You think I ran out to kill the Zhao family?" I don't know her at all, what am I going to do when I kill someone I don't know? ”

Xiangwei shook her head again and again, indeed, her master and the prime minister's wife have no dealings, but Xiangwei still knows what has happened recently. She felt that maybe the person who tried to threaten Niangniang and found out what Guo Gaoquan was might be the prime minister's wife, although Xiangwei didn't even know who Guo Gaoquan was.

"It's going to be fine, I didn't kill anyone, what are you afraid of?" Wang said frankly, "Don't make a fuss, don't make people suspect you." ”

Xiangwei closed her mouth tightly and didn't dare to speak, but she saw the clothes on her master's body, although it was normal to change into a dress when she came back, but ...... Where did the flower-and-butterfly breast-length skirt worn at the dinner go?

At the same time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sons of the Zhao family have already arranged a mourning hall for her, although they don't know when they will be able to send people back, and they always have to do what they should do. The daughters-in-law gathered in the mourning hall and wept, whether they were sincere or fake, but now they are all dead. Even the third lady was speechless in astonishment, and when she entered the palace in the evening, the woman was still in front of her with the majesty of the main room, which made her so angry that she died in a blink of an eye, and died so miserably.

The third lady took a look at the mourning hall, asked her daughter-in-law to help, and went to Qiu Zhenyu's study. A few tears were held back before entering the door, and after entering the door, he cried deliberately: "Master, Madame's mourning hall is set up, do you want to go and take a look." ”

Qiu Zhenyu looked at her indifferently and sneered, "Are you really sad?" ”

The third lady said embarrassedly: "What did you say, sir?" ”

Qiu Zhenyu said: "When her posthumous affairs are done, I will help you to be the wife of the main house, don't pretend in front of me, go and do these things well, if it can't be done, I will leave the opportunity to the second room." ”

The third lady raised her eyebrows, and immediately agreed, seeing that her husband was not sad at all, she didn't have to be coy, waited for him to change clothes, arranged tea, and immediately withdrew.

Qiu Zhenyu pinched the bridge of his nose and knocked his forehead again, he is a little older, not as young as a young man, but he will not admit defeat. struggled all his life to get the position of first assistant prime minister, but was trampled under the feet of Xiang Ye, a countryman, rather than living in a nest, it is better to fight vigorously again, even if he dies, he will not leave regrets.

"Come, I want to see the messenger." Qiu Zhenyu ordered to go down, and then sat down to write a letter, the head of the letter was Qin Zhuang, and this letter would be sent to Kishu.

Both he and Qin Zhuang tried to disturb the palace, but they both failed, Qin Wenyue returned in vain, Qiu Zhenyu even lost his wife's life, but the most difficult thing to deal with was his daughter.

But in this world, there is no city that cannot be attacked, if Qiu Zhenyu can't even fight his own daughter, how can he fight with the emperor and the military power. In fact, his daughter has completely inherited his temperament, and he will never give up easily in anything, but they have used each other in different ways, and he has already gone further and further on the wrong path.

The next morning, after Xiang Ye expressed his condolences to the prime minister in public, he handled the affairs of the court normally, and did not give a clear explanation as to how to investigate Zhao's death. The happiest were the ministers who were opposed to the forces of the old dynasty, and the emperor's lukewarm attitude satisfied them. And the people standing behind Qiu Zhenyu didn't dare to serve justice for the prime minister in a big way, they were originally like Qiu Zhenyu, living in the shadow of the new monarch.

In the inner palace, the queen mother came to Anle Palace early in the morning to see her new little grandson, praised the concubine for her ability, pitied her for her ability, was happy for a while, and said proudly: "Let the emperor give you a good reward, the position of the concubine is still vacant, don't give it to you?" ”

Although it is only a word difference, it doesn't matter if there is such a word in the palace at the moment, but the noble concubine also sounds more noble than the concubine, and this kind of honor is better than nothing.

Concubine Shu didn't mention how happy she was, and the Queen Mother pulled Min'er and said, "It's better to ask the emperor to do this earlier." ”

Min'er felt that although the queen mother was right, she should have asked the emperor what she meant first, if Xiang Ye had this intention, she should have mentioned it last night, anyway, the canonization of the concubine was not something that her queen could call the shots, just push it to the emperor.

The concubines also came to congratulate them, there were many people, and they had to mention last night's incident, although everyone did not see the tragic situation of the Zhao family, but there were many rumors in the past night, and the queen mother was frizzy when she heard it, and reproached: "On the day of great joy, what do you do with those bad luck." ”

But someone whispered: "Only Wang Jieyu and the emperor and queen ...... left the table halfway last night."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and looked at Min'er in unison, everyone knew that the queen and the prime minister's wife had a former hatred and an old hatred, and the Zhao family had abused her biological mother for ten years, and this hatred was not too much for life. Compared with Wang Jieyu, it is obvious that the queen has a greater motive for killing.

I don't want the queen mother to be annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about, are you an official of Dali Temple, and you dare to pour dirty water on the queen?" ”

The concubines knelt on the ground one after another, and those who didn't speak were all taken and trained, but the Queen Mother knew very well at this time, and stood in front of Min'er to stand up for her: "The case will be investigated, and the most hated is to spread falsehood, you all have to take care of yourself." Always crying in front of me, saying that the emperor doesn't treat you well, but when did you see Concubine Shu chewing her tongue, does the emperor like to hear you say these words? ”

Min'er glanced at Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu smiled awkwardly, and said softly: "Queen Mother, for the sake of the concubine's face, forget it." ”

Min'er also said: "Queen Mother, everyone is also curious, and it will be good if the case is clarified." ”

When the Queen Mother saw them giving herself the steps, she said, "Let them step down, there are too many people to breathe." ”

Tossed until midnight, when leaving Anle Palace, Xiang Ye only sent someone to the Empress Dowager's palace to deliver good news, and he took Min'er straight back to Shangyang Palace. The two were still walking hand in hand, the wind was getting cooler and colder the night, and the emperor suddenly stopped and asked Min'er: "Is it cold?" ”

"Self-inflicted." Xiang Ye sneered, took Min'er's hand and continued to walk forward, but it didn't take long for him to say slowly, "But it's true......
