The maid beside her reminded: "It seems that Mrs. Lao Tu is doing something, the two of them have always had a discussion recently." ”

The third lady's charming eyes narrowed into a slit, and suddenly she had an idea, and said, "You prepare some things and send them to the palace for the queen tomorrow." ”

Here, Qiu Zhenyu and Zhao have already arrived in the study, closed the door and mentioned Wang Jieyu's reaction today, she heard the name and saw the gift list, she would behave so abnormally, it can be seen that Qin Zhuang calculated well, the deserter must be related to the Wang family back then, and the eldest prince may be a bad seed.

"What's next?" Zhao's attitude was cold and arrogant, "The lord knows, the queen does not welcome me into the palace, and I can't enter without such a major festival." Since Huiyi's incident, she has been even more wary of me, even to send congratulatory gifts on the New Year's Festival, which is also sent outside the palace gate. ”

Qiu Zhenyu knew, but he wiped his beard and said, "You are in the palace, there must be someone who can be used, just pass on the word to her." ”

"Wang Jieyu is soft-spoken, what does the master want her to do?"

"Don't let the emperor live in peace, it remains to be seen whether he and Shen Zhe are really split or fake now, but the emperor's determination to move the forces of my old dynasty is a certainty." Qiu Zhenyu said coldly, "If it weren't for the salt and grain routes, the transportation of armaments and materials in various places would still depend on us, and the diplomacy and trade between the east, west, north and south would still depend on us, he would have done it a long time ago." And he sent Song Yuan to open up Pingxi Mansion, just to start from there and replace the power of the officials of our old dynasty step by step. ”

Zhao said: "Song Yuan was also a historian of the Zhao State, isn't it the power of the old dynasty?" ”

Qiu Zhenyu shook his head: "I told you, the emperor himself is also the vassal king of the old dynasty, isn't it, the entire Great Qi was once a subject of the Zhao State, Xiang Ye can fight all the way to the capital, gather so many strategists and brave generals, his ability to know and use people should not be underestimated." ”

Zhao Shi looked at his husband and said calmly: "The master himself is in the palace, and he also has countless eyeliner, why let me try, if something goes wrong, won't it delay your big event." ”

Qiu Zhenyu smiled faintly: "Signal to ask, sound east and west." ”

It turned out that Qiu Zhenyu wanted to throw his wife as bait, so that the Zhao family would attract the queen's idea, and he wanted to send people into the depths of the inner palace to be used at any time. As for Wang Jieyu's matter, it is feasible or not, it fails, as long as they keep silent to each other, there will be no big deal. Wang Jieyu will not be so stupid, she will not shake off her unsightly past, at least at this moment, Qiu Zhenyu is completely convinced that Wang's body is not clean.

The next day, Shen Zhe was about to leave the capital with Yunsheng, the emperor sent a minister to see him off, he did not show up, and it was impossible for the queen mother to come out to meet, Min'er accompanied the queen mother to appease her emotions, patient and calm, she would not be troublesome to her mother-in-law, but she would not waver at all, no matter what her mother-in-law said, it was not oil and salt.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Min'er returned to Shangyang Palace, but she met the palace maid of Shangyang Hall coming from the direction outside the palace, holding various gifts in her hands. ”

"Third Lady? I don't have much to do with her. Min'er also felt fresh, "Are there no rules in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even the concubines can send congratulatory gifts on behalf of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" What's more, the congratulatory gift from the Prime Minister's Mansion was sent early in the morning. ”

Qingya said with a smile: "The person who gave the gift said that the prime minister and his wife have been very busy recently, and they are afraid that their wife will delay the Mid-Autumn Festival, so they will send it without authorization. ”

Min'er picked out a sentence and asked, "Qiu Zhenyu and Zhao seem to be very busy?" ”

Qingya said: "Niangniang, do you remember, when the old lady and Mrs. Bai came, there were rumors that the Zhao family despised Mrs. Bai, and the slave maid checked it at that time, and those words also came from the third lady." ”

Min'er sighed: "They are fighting in the nest." The third lady has been proud for many years, the Zhao family because of what I hated, Qiu Zhenyu suppressed her even more in order to please me, and now she is suddenly good to her again, there must be some attempts, although the third lady is jealous, but also sent us the movement between Qiu Zhenyu and the Zhao family. I accepted this gift, don't make a noise, without the third lady, wouldn't the Zhao family get his wish. ”

Qingya was uneasy in her heart, always feeling that something was going to happen, who didn't want the world to be peaceful, but her mother was always so calm and indifferent in the face of turmoil. 's calm personality is that the emperor is a few points behind, and perhaps the queen's only weakness is Mrs. Qiu. Fortunately, the emperor had already realized this and sent people in Yuanzhou to protect the safety of the old lady and the Bai family at all times.

Until the evening of this day, Qingya sent a strange news, she has been sending people to keep an eye on the movement of the Begonia Palace, there is a new thing today, Xiangwei next to the Wang family, seemingly inadvertently inquired about a right man named Guo Gaoquan in Dali Temple outside.

"Niangniang, the slave maid went to ask Zhou Huai, the right man of Dali Temple is now vacant, and there is no one named Guo Gaoquan at all." Qingya is very neat, and Zhou Huai knows almost everything in the imperial court.

Min'er sewed knee pads for the emperor to ride a horse in winter, and looked up casually and asked, "And then?" ”

Qingya said: "I guessed that Xiangwei also asked about the result, and went back to tell Wang Jieyu, I don't know what is calculated there." ”

Min'er has always been suspicious of one thing in her heart, presumably she is not the only one, but other people are powerless to shake the truth of this matter, and they dare not touch this bad luck, and if they can't get into it, the gains outweigh the losses.

"You tell Zhou Huai, it's my personal meaning, it's best not to alarm the emperor, I really can't hide it, just say ask the emperor to come up and ask me." Min'er gently bit down the silk thread, shook off the knee pad and compared it on her leg, and said, "You let Zhou Huai check, no matter what kind of horn it is, whether there is such a person named Guo Gaoquan." ”

"Yes."

"Besides, there's a lot of movement in Haitang Palace, don't just stare at that place." Min'er said, "In the military book given to me by Lord Song, it describes all kinds of clever tactics in the famous battles on the ancient battlefield, and the most commonly used and tried and tested one. ”

Qingya was stunned when she heard it, the short matter of the parents in this palace was even involved in tactics, and the queen read so many books, but she didn't look like a nerd, but became a female general. She smiled happily: "Niangniang, don't worry, Zhou Huai has the ability, and his heart is the most towards the emperor and you." ”

Min'er bowed: "I am very relieved that you are doing things." She looked out the window, the sun was setting in the west, the sky was getting dark, the entire Shangyang Hall was deserted, there was still the laughter of Yunshang in the past, and they had to play chess and cards, and now they are gone, and they don't know when they will come back.

The emperor and Shen Zhe, are they really okay?

On this side, Shen Zhe and his wife had already walked far away from the capital, and the troops following Shen Zhe had also left the camp of the Gyeonggi Reserve Army and were waiting on the side of the road early.

He gave the emperor 200,000 troops, and there were still 110,000 left, and the Great Qi continued to have a population of 30 million from the Zhao State, not counting the emperor and other resident generals, Shen Zhe alone had more than 300,000 elite troops that could fight at any time. The accumulation of all the way from Kishu to the capital, and the emperor's emphasis on military defense in the past four years, Daqi can resist the invasion of many foreign enemies at the same time and remain in danger.

After the end of the war, the former Zhao State and today's Great Qi, after seven years of war has been scarred, should have recuperated in peace, pay attention to agriculture and trade, and improve the country's financial resources, but the emperor used a large amount of gold from the Zhao treasury to reward and compensate the soldiers, continue to recruit troops with generous military salaries, and manufacture weapons to expand the army, as if ready to fight at any time.

"The emperor said, we have fought so many civil wars, and the foreign races have long been eyeing and salivating, and once the war is over, everyone is weak and passive and neglects to take precautions, and at this time, it is the easiest to be attacked." On the bumpy carriage, Shen Zhe said lightly to Yun Shang, "Therefore, we must immediately strengthen our force and point our swords beyond the borders, even if it is just a shock in momentum, it is better than letting the foreign race see a tired country." ”

Yun Sheng was thrilled when she heard this, and exclaimed: "The emperor is so wise. ”

Shen Zhe smiled: "But in the eyes of many people, he is a brutal person, who can only fight and kill." ”

Yunshang said again and again: "The queen can worship the emperor, every time she mentions the emperor, there is light in her eyes." She said excitedly, but when she saw Shen Zhe's gaze, she felt a sigh in her heart, but she also said unabashedly, "You feel uncomfortable, the queen has never looked at you squarely." ”

Shen Zhe took out the majesty of her husband, grabbed Yunsheng's hand and said: "Don't mention such words in the future, in your eyes, there is still majesty to talk about, am I a joke for you to use at any time?" ”

Yunshang sighed: "When I give birth to a girl, I will see if you accept it or not, and you will bully me, dare to bully your daughter." ”

Shen Zhe said: "Let's give birth to a boy, we will have an unstable life in the past few years, I am reluctant to give birth to a girl and endure hardships, give birth to a boy, and grow up from a snack to a good upbringing." ”

Yunshang touched her flattened stomach and said, "But I can't bear it, it's better if the turmoil passes early, I'm also afraid of you......" Her eyes softened, and she fell into Shen Zhe's arms and said, "Xianggong, although I am willing to go with you, I also hope that you can let me live a peaceful life, such days will pass, right?" ”

Shen Zhe said pitifully: "It will definitely pass, one or two years at the fastest, three or four years at the slowest, the emperor doesn't have so much patience, and let those old dynasty forces be arrogant for too long." ”

The night is getting deeper, Shen Zhe's team did not stop, he even let Yunshang sit alone, he changed the high-headed horse and walked with the soldiers, this is a long way to Qiangshui Pass, when the emperor conquered the Nanban, he had longed to go together, but I don't know if he can come back this time.

At this moment, in the deep palace, it is already silent, and the emperor has also rested in the Shangyang Palace, but in the bedroom of the Anle Palace, there is a dim lamp, Er Zhen lay on the side of the bed and said softly: "Niangniang, you sleep." ”

Concubine Shu sniffed, touched her bulging belly and said, "Will it be accurate, what the imperial doctor said?" Today, the imperial doctor took her pulse and told her again that she was pregnant with a princess.
