The wind in the early morning always makes people feel cold, and this has entered the weather of October, which is always mixed with a cold breath, so that people know, ah, this winter is coming, and all the palaces are busy either cutting new clothes, or preparing for the charcoal fire for the winter.

But on such a cold morning when the wind was howling, Shen Yuan stood in front of the window, and she hadn't moved for a long time, her heart slowly became cold with everything recorded in the book, and with the wind, she felt even colder.
In that record, it is actually not uncommon for the mother to be so ruthless to attack her child, and those women who are pregnant in the record but make their miscarriages abound in order to win the opportunity to get on the throne, but this is different, the child has already been born, how can he be willing to abandon him ruthlessly.
However, if the concubine didn't bring down the queen, then what was waiting for her might be a more difficult future, and it was indeed the same reason to strike first, in fact, if she thought about it carefully, if she couldn't bring down the queen in one fell swoop, then maybe she couldn't even save her own children, so she was ruthless.
And what about her? Where does she go from here...... Now that the affairs of the Yang family are imminent, and the situation in the palace is so tense, what should she do...... Shen Yuan didn't know, she just felt that the cold wind kept hitting her face, which made her heart ache.
Chonghe Temple.
"Why hasn't Yang Xiang come here today......"
"Hey, you don't know, Yang Xiang's old man is sick today. ”
"Sick ...... Yang Xiangdu, do you think it will be this Yang family?"
"I think, eighty percent is possible, the Yang family is getting more and more bold now, Yang Hou Ye has brought troops, this delay in returning to Beijing, I think this day is probably going to change......" The minister in the green official robe whispered.
The situation in the capital is becoming more and more incomprehensible, but everyone can vaguely feel that this is the Yang family and the royal family's fighting method, but the other three of the four major families are secretly not moving, and everyone is panicked and doesn't know what to do.
Not to mention the situation in the northern frontier, the war ended half a month ago, but this Dingbei Marquis received the emperor's will, but he has not returned to Beijing for a long time, and now Yang Xiang is still sick, which is really more and more frightening.
"Alas, who said no, the last birthday banquet in Dingbei Hou Mansion was terrifying, you say, what can I do......"
"Hey, you two be quiet, Manager Cui has arrived, and the emperor is coming soon......"
"Ahem, it's a good ......" The minister who opened the conversation unnaturally gathered his wide sleeves, held the jade board in his hand and stood there fixedly to receive the words.
"The emperor drove to the ......" With the high tone sounding, all the civil and military officials bowed and saluted, and after hearing the voice of Emperor Zhaohua, they slowly got up and lined up respectfully.
"What is the motivation of all Aiqing?" Lu Nancheng glanced over and saw that there was an empty position in front of him, and sneered in his heart, the Yang family is afraid that there is infighting, Yang Xiang is sick and does not come to the court, it seems that this Beihou is a little unable to squat.
"The Ministers Have Their Own ......"
"Well, the taxes in Jiangnan have always been the most sufficient, and this year they will be more generous, since the tundra has been damaged, it will be exempted from taxes for a year, yes. ”
“...... Also, what's the situation with this military department, did Dingbei Hou encounter any trouble on the road, you can't make a false report. ”
"The ministers don't dare, it's just that this is the Marquis of Dingbei...... The war in the north lasted nearly two years, and this army was indeed ......"
"The minister thinks this is ...... , and this Yang Jiajun is also ......"
As soon as it came to Dingbeihou, Chao Nei looked lively for a while, but everyone was shirking, no one wanted to guess anything, no one wanted to take the initiative to stand up and say something, they didn't want to provoke both sides now, Lu Nancheng looked at them coldly and explained and dragged them one by one.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's wait a little longer, if there is anything else to do, let's retreat if there is nothing to do. Emperor Zhaohua was a little impatient when he heard this, and he was a little angry because of Yang Xiang's affairs recently, so he was really in no mood to listen to these people complaining here.
Hearing that Emperor Zhaohua finally stopped asking, the ministers below breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, this is now not offended by both ends, or quietly watching, for fear of angering this, if the Yang family has no good fruit to eat, then they will not be good, but they are afraid of offending the Yang family, and then the emperor will have the upper hand, and there will be no good end.
Now the smart ones have guarded the door of the house early, and watched in private, to see which side has the upper hand, and then to which side, and those who are not afraid of death are the ones who surrender to the Yang family, you must know that once the Yang family is completed, then they are from the dragon's work, that is naturally rich and noble, and those who are swaying from side to side, follow this one today, and follow that one tomorrow.
In this case, only the people of the four major families are the most calm, although the Yang family is at the top of the four major families, but compared with other families, they are still young, and now they have such thoughts, and other families will not do anything, just watch coldly.
After all, there is an old saying that "a family of iron beats, a dynasty of flowing water." "That's what I'm talking about, whether the Yang family is defeated or the royal family is defeated, there will always be someone who will replace them, and the three of them can still stand on this continent, so in this case, just look on the sidelines.
They won't be on anyone's side, they're not going to help anyone, they're just going to be alone, silently waiting, waiting for the final result......
"Lord Shen, Shen Xiang!" Since Emperor Zhaohua had retreated from the court, everyone had left the Chonghe Hall one after another, and when Shen Ting was walking down the jade steps, he heard someone behind him shouting about himself, so he turned around.
"Oh, Lord Shen, you're walking so fast, that Lord Li and a few of us want to invite you to Wande Building for a while, how about it?" Seeing that Shen Ting had stopped, the man hurriedly quickened his steps and stepped forward.
"Okay, but Shen still has some things to do, and he will go to Wande Building to find you later. Shen Ting responded with a smile, probably knowing the purpose of these people in his heart, now that the situation is unknown, there are always people thinking about how to find out something, if it was in the past, Shen Ting would not pay too much attention to them.
But now that Shen Tingming has taken refuge in the Yang family, since Yang Xiang is sick today, then these confused people naturally want to try their best to inquire about the situation, and they originally asked Shen Ting with the attitude of giving it a try, but they didn't expect Lord Shen to be very easy to talk to, which made everyone secretly happy in their hearts.
Shen Ting is ready, since Emperor Zhaohua asked him to pretend to defect to Yang Xiang, in addition to passing the news in a timely manner, there is also to confuse the Yang family, this kind of situation where other courtiers have different intentions is naturally within the scope of his responsibility, this kind of time, it is a good time to test dissidents.
"Okay, Lord Shen, then we'll see you then. Seeing that Shen Ting readily agreed, the courtier happily left to talk to the others.
Shen Ting looked out of the palace gate, but changed the carriage on the side and entered from other places, Dingbei Hou dragged and did not react, Yang Xiang fell ill again, all of which shows that the current situation is impatient, but there is no movement on the side of Guan Guifei, so I have to enter the palace again and discuss it carefully.
Fengyi Palace, the main hall.
"Hmm, why don't you see Concubine De's sister today?" Concubine Guan, as always, pointed the finger at the people around Empress Yang, and everyone was used to it.
"This person always has a time when he is unwell, right, he can't help but let people rest, right?" As soon as Wen Lianyi spoke, the virtuous concubine on the side was also unrelenting, if this was put on others, Concubine Guan would say a few more words, but Murong Lu, a crazy woman, was too difficult, so she pretended not to hear it, and sat there drinking tea with a calm face.
Seeing her like this, Murong Lu twisted the handkerchief in her hand hatefully, but she was helpless, after all, if she didn't give up on this occasion now, she would be criticized by the queen at that time, so even if she was unhappy, she had to let it go, so the topic was tacitly bypassed.
"Niangniang's body is better?" Some people are secretly fighting back and forth, and naturally some people take the opportunity to show their goodwill, Queen Yang This is the first time since the serious illness that she has opened the door of Fengyi Palace, and let the palaces come to ask for peace, although her face has improved a lot, but compared with the usual, it can still be seen that she is a little pale.
"Yes, if the queen's sister is not in good health, the palace sisters can also share it, you have to rest more, but you can't hurt your body, and there are a lot of things next, don't be too reluctant." As soon as the topic came out, the people below climbed up the pole, although Murong Lu was dedicated to dealing with Wen Lianyi, but if there was a chance to give her more rights, she would naturally not let go.
Besides, today's Concubine De, who is dedicated to defending Queen Yang, is not here, and Queen Yang can't shirk it even if she wants to pass it on to others, so why don't you move at this time.
"This, thank you for your concern, the palace is already well, and it is enough to have the help of female officials, so you don't have to worry too much. Empress Yang smiled at the corner of her mouth, sneering in her heart, although her current situation is indeed a little reluctant to deal with palace affairs, but she will not let this chair out at will.
And what she said is indeed the case, although she has been sick in the past few days, but with the assistance of the female official Yan by her side, she has dealt with some things more or less, but the things behind what Murong Lu said are nothing more than that it is almost Layue, and this is at the end of the year.
In a few days, it is time to plan and arrange the New Year's banquet, this New Year's banquet has always been broad, and this is also the best opportunity to have a good relationship with the heads of the palaces, you must know that in this palace, connections are always the most important, with connections, there is a source of news, in order to ensure that in this palace, whether it is favored or to avoid trouble.
Usually, Empress Yang will indeed share some of it, but most of them are for the people around her, after all, no one wants to increase the power in their hands, so today Murong Lu took advantage of the fire to rob, but she also had to give Queen Yang face, she didn't expect Queen Yang to clench her teeth so tightly, and her face was not very good-looking all of a sudden.
After a confrontation, everyone left one after another after watching the play, but Queen Yang didn't expect Shen Yuan to come today, and she would not be absent in this case.
"You go to Zhaoyang Palace to have a look, and by the way, bring a bowl of lotus seed soup. "Queen Yang actually said that she was thinking about Shen Yuan, but she was still thinking about Xiao Zhao'er, otherwise there would be no bowl of lotus seed soup, and the female official Yan could also see it, so she hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
Yang Qianyi stood in front of the window, looking at the ginkgo biloba leaves that had fallen to the ground, and felt bored for a while, I don't know if this year will pass......
