Yun Yao looked at the jade pendant in her hand, and a bold guess flashed in her heart, and even many thoughts were incomplete, and there was no direct evidence to prove her thoughts, but she had an intuition that everything she guessed was likely to be true.

"What kind of method are you talking about?" Lu Yingquan asked with great interest.

"Child, the child in the queen's womb!" Yun Yao took a deep breath and said, "I remember that when the queen asked me to help her keep the baby in the carriage before, she said that I should keep this child no matter what, because he may be the hope of Haoguo's future." ”

When Yun Yao said this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Qingming, as if she was asking him for confirmation.

After all, Gu Qingming was also next to him at the time, although he was not in the carriage, but he had profound internal skills and excellent hearing, and the sound of conversation in the carriage must not be hidden from his ears.

Sure enough, Gu Qingming nodded and said, "Yes, the queen did say such a thing, I didn't think there was anything at the time, but now that I think about it, it has a deep meaning, maybe I understand what you mean." ”

"I also understand!" Lu Yingquan was reminded by the two of them, and immediately said, "Child! That's right, Uncle Hao has been a vassal king for so many years, and there are many concubines in the harem, I heard His Royal Highness say that the queen alone has changed three, but so far he has not been able to give birth to a boy and a girl!"

Hao Wang Shen Yan is the eldest brother of the first emperor, and he is also in his fifties, a few years older than the current Empress Dowager Qin.

Ordinary people, when they reach middle age, even if they are not full of children and grandchildren, they should also have children and daughters, and a king like King Hao who works hard should have an heir with both ability and political integrity to inherit the foundation of Haoguo.

But...... Not really!

Not only sons, but not even daughters!

It is rumored that all the pregnant concubines of King Hao have never been able to give birth to a child smoothly, most of them have had a miscarriage before the fetus is formed, and if you are lucky, you can wait until the fetus is formed, but you accidentally slip the fetus. Even if someone is lucky enough to conceive a baby for ten months, when they give birth, both mother and child die and cannot survive.

It's not that King Hao can't have children, otherwise the queen mother won't get pregnant many times, and it's not the problem of those women in the harem, after all, there are already so many concubines who are pregnant. As for the curse that has been circulated in the market, it is even more nonsense, after all, a king like King Hao, who has not made much fault in his life and loves the people wholeheartedly, how can such a curse of cutting off children and grandchildren fall on him.

Until today, Gu Qingming found the loss of heart in the queen's carriage, thus proving that the accident that happened today was actually man-made. And the real purpose of this person may be to use the horses to go crazy and the vibration of the carriage to make the weak queen have a miscarriage again.

If no one finds out that they are distracted, it is likely that all this will be counted as an accident again, and it will not be over. At most, it is the queen herself, who is sad for a while, and then devotes herself to the next pregnancy.

"I'm thinking, if Queen Hao's miscarriage accident was deliberately created by someone, then so many miscarriages before, could it have also been deliberately made?" Yun Yao asked rhetorically, "If this is really the case, then that is to say, King Hao's harem hides an unfathomable black hand, she calculated all those pregnant concubines, created one accident after another, killed those unborn children, and left King Hao without children and daughters so far." ”

It's a bold guess, but it's not impossible. Lu Yingquan nodded and said, "I didn't think it was a big deal for Uncle Hao to have no children under his knees, but if all this is really man-made, then it will be really terrible." Yun Yao, since the queen said that the child in her womb is the hope of Haoguo's future, then if we can do our best, we must help her. ”

"That's what I thought, too. Yun Yao said, "Or think about it from another angle, King Hao is a man and does things well, we don't have any bargaining chips in our hands, so that King Hao can agree to our alliance, but do you think King Hao will compromise on the issue of heirs?"

"Yes. After listening to it for a long time, Gu Qingming came to the conclusion, "King Hao once posted the emperor's list, spent a lot of money to seek medical treatment, and checked the body of himself and the harem concubines, hoping to find out the reason why these children did not live long." It can be seen that he cares a lot about his heirs in his heart, otherwise King Hao, who has always been diligent and thrifty, would not have done such a crazy thing. ”

"That's right! The issue of heirs is King Hao's heart disease, and it is also the only opportunity we can seize. Yun Yao said, "Assuming my guess is correct, then the Hao Palace is definitely not as calm as it seems on the surface, but if my guess is wrong, those unborn children are really just accidents, then I can still help the queen mother to have a safe baby, at least I am sure that the child in the queen's womb is born safely." ”

"In other words, if King Hao wants to have an heir, he must rely on you. Lu Yingquan said, "Now the queen is only two months pregnant, and it is still early to give birth. ”

"It's a bit unkind, but there's no way around it. Besides, we are not harming people, but saving people, and we made up for this incident at that time. Yun Yao said.

Gu Qingming listened to Yun Yao's words, but after thinking about it slightly, he already understood Yun Yao's thoughts.

"But we rashly took the jade pendant to find the queen mother, if there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, it is inevitable that we will startle the snake. Gu Qingming said, "Do you want to go to the Qi family and use the relationship between the Qi family and the queen's mother, as well as the Qi family's status in Haoguo, to do this?"

"The general really understands me. Yun Yao smiled and nodded, "I remember that on the way here, you said that the three queens of King Hao were all from the Qi family, and they all died of illness at a young age. This family is inextricably linked with King Hao, if the death of the first three queens is really related to their miscarriage, then it is impossible for the Qi family to sit idly by. ”

"You're right, but I still like to hear you call me by my name. Gu Qingming listened to Yun Yao's words, nodded seriously, and then said seriously.

Yun Yao thought that he was going to add something or make suggestions, but she didn't expect it to be such frivolous words, she glanced at Lu Yingquan a little embarrassed, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Lu Yingquan burst out laughing and quipped: "General Gu is really a man with a true temperament, this is not in the palace, so he will please people." Yun Yao, I think you will still call him by his name in the future, and I will follow the meat in the future. ”

"Oops!" Yun Yao was not a person who could let go, and when she heard Lu Yingquan say this, she felt even more embarrassed, and couldn't help but stomp her feet.

This little daughter's family attitude fell in Gu Qingming's eyes, but it looked even more cute.

After making a conclusion about the matter of Queen Hao, everyone was relieved, at least they were no longer at a loss, and they were no longer at a loss. Because they have found a breakthrough in Haoguo, that is to say, the possibility of an alliance between Yiguo and Haoguo is a little more.

But you can't rush everything, you have to think of a safe way, not only to achieve your own goals, but also not to let people know their identity, so you need to think long-term.

It just so happened that they had just arrived in Haoguo, and there were still two days before the birthday of the Empress Dowager Qin, so King Hao didn't come back so soon, and many things still had time to prepare slowly.

So, Yun Yao put away the jade pendant given by the queen, turned around and went downstairs, and went to decoct the fetal medicine for Lu Yingquan.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the capital, a war without gunpowder is also in full swing. The turbulent dark tide between the seven vassal kings and the Empress Dowager Qin, and the ambiguity between the vassal kings, made the situation in the capital more and more confusing.

Jiang Yi listened to Shen Che's words, took ingots and finches to wander around the streets of the capital, and bought whatever he liked, without any ambiguity. Anyway, in her opinion, although she didn't understand what Shen Che meant by this move, she could see it as Shen Che's connivance and pampering of her.

After all, no vassal king is willing to spend a lot of money for his concubine, and Shen Che has always been simple in Yiguo, and has never made such a bold move, so she can be regarded as the first favor.

The spacious solid wood carved bed, the soft and comfortable Ziyunxuan embroidered quilt, the ornaments of the cloisonne vase, and all kinds of silk and satin gold and silver jewelry, all of them were sent to the other courtyard and sent to Shen Che's courtyard.

The other six princes looked at the people coming and going in the courtyard, and they all seemed to be delivering goods, all of them were high-quality good things. It's just a day's work, and the original most broken courtyard in the other courtyard has been transformed into the most luxurious courtyard.

And Jiang Yi's fanfare naturally fell into the ears of the Empress Dowager Qin, which made the Empress Dowager Qin feel a little curious.

"Jinxiu, do you mean that this person who bought a lot of good things in the capital and arranged the palace magnificently is the niece of the Empress Dowager Jiang mentioned in Yiguo's letter, Jiang Yi?"

However, this is exactly what Yun Yao wanted. She pretended to be He Meiren's handwriting so many times before, creating the illusion that Jiang Yi was favored, and shifting the Empress Dowager Qin's gaze to Jiang Yi's body, it seems that this effort was not done in vain, and the Empress Dowager Qin really fell into the trap.

"Exactly. Jinxiu nodded and said, "It seems that the news of Yi Guolai is true, this Mrs. Jiang is indeed very favored, and His Royal Highness King Yi actually connived at her to be so arrogant in the capital." ”

"Isn't that right? The more favored she is, the better it will be for the mourning family. The Queen Mother said, "I originally thought that Shen Che was deliberately showing goodwill, and then lying down to taste the courage, but I didn't expect that he was really a master who couldn't endure hardship." Looking at this pomp, it is estimated that when I was in Yiguo, I didn't spend a lot of time drinking. ”

"Now the Queen Mother can rest assured, Her Royal Highness King Yi is not as unfathomable as she imagined. Jinxiu said, "He is just an embroidered pillow, and he has to bow down to the Queen Mother." ”
