"Stand down."

The concubine stood in the hall with her head held high, and opened her mouth to give an order.

This is the back hall of the Zichen Palace, the sleeping palace of the Son of Heaven, the sun is still shining outside, but here it is different from the outside because of the heavy curtains, and it has to be burned high.

The musician didn't dare to disobey the order, and came out with the pipa and the yaoqin fish, but Qin Sang, who had just finished dancing, was still kneeling on his side panting, and he looked at the son of heaven who couldn't sit upright because of drunkenness, and he hesitated.

The concubine didn't pay attention to her, took the palace people to offer the sobering soup, sat down beside the Son of Heaven, and said softly: "The saint has overdosed again, which is not good for the dragon body." ”

The Son of Heaven could still recognize the concubine, muttering a sentence of "Sister", and was so smoked by the not delicious soup that his eyebrows were frowning, but he was almost forced to pour the whole bowl of soup by the concubine, and finally lost the interest in drinking, stroking his chest and stumbling on his body, muttering intermittently, but no one could understand what he was talking about.

The concubine sighed slightly, and then turned her face to look at Qin Sang: "Wait for the saint to rest in peace, and when you wake up, you will serve medicinal food." ”

Qin Sang was extremely puzzled that the concubine was so approachable, and she was not as domineering and jealous as everyone talked about, but she had always been cautious, and of course she would not talk much at this time, and she was very obedient and promised.

"When you are close to the saint, you usually pay attention to it, even if you can't dissuade the saint from drinking, you can send the palace people to inform me." The concubine gave another instruction, and then lowered her voice: "The sage said that you can trust, and I will treat you as a different person, you must understand that if the dragon's body is damaged, you and I will have no more to rely on, and you can only end up with life and death." ”

Qin Sang's heart was shocked, and he raised his eyes to look at the concubine, but saw that she had already gotten up, just like when she came, the lotus step was outward, and her figure quickly disappeared behind the curtains.

When the closed door of the palace was opened, the concubine was almost not stabbed in the eye by the oncoming sun, and she stood expressionlessly outside the threshold for a while before she was about to step down the long steps, but she heard a soft shout: "Sister." ”

He Ye was wearing a robe with narrow sleeves and a belt around his waist, and he strode over, his forehead was full of sweat, but his eyes were shining. ”

"You don't advise you." Before the concubine said a word, she saw He Ye stomping her feet.

"Why didn't I persuade? The bitter gall was about to be persuaded out, but instead of listening, my brother drove me away. ”

Seeing that He Ye turned around and was about to go inside, the concubine shouted angrily: "Stop." ”

actually took He Ye's hand, frowned at the dust on his face, and wiped it with a brocade handkerchief: "But go to bow again?" The weather is getting hotter, and I feel the heat carefully. ”

"I played with the guards for a while, where is there such a delicate." He Ye said with a smile: "I haven't drunk Sister A's cooking tea for a long time, and I can't let it go today." A stack of sounds ordered Jiang Yu to prepare, and asked the concubine: "Why don't you go to the pavilion behind the palace?" ”

When he entered the pavilion, He Ye asked Jiang Yu to avoid it with an impatient face: "I smell of sweat, and I smoke Sister carefully." No matter how hard he glanced at the many palace people and eunuchs, and even without any more nonsense, everyone retreated in fear, whether the king of Jin was talking to the Son of Heaven or the concubine, he didn't like others to stand too close when he saw the queen mother, and everyone didn't suspect that he had ulterior motives today.

Even the concubine didn't notice the clues, and she was still grinding tea and preparing soup, but she suddenly heard a sentence: "Sister A's plan, is she willing to give up halfway?" ”

The concubine was surprised.

"I heard it all." He Ye explained so hastily, and smiled quite slyly: "What does Sister want?" Is it just to instigate the Queen Mother to fall out of harmony with her brother, mother and son? Or...... I don't want to see the Queen Mother alone in power, Xie Mao and others are arrogant, Sister is going to deal with Xie Dang and cut off the Queen Mother's arm? ”

"The King's ......"

"Sister, there is no need to say perfunctory, since I can trust Sister A, she doesn't even care about her disguise, can't Sister still take precautions against me? The Queen Mother is bent on harming my life, if it weren't for my brother's protection, I'm afraid I would have already gone to see the first emperor, to tell the truth, I don't want to watch the Queen Mother usurp the government and treat my brother as a puppet. King Jin said these deafening words in his mouth, but his face still had a look of arrogance.

The concubine quickly restrained her shock, and resumed her slow and orderly action of grinding tea, and others looked at it from a distance, thinking that she was chatting and laughing with King Jin.

"What the king said is right."

The corners of He Ye's lips widened, and even showed two rows of white teeth, and his body leaned slightly: "Sister, I'm afraid this matter is not easy, if it fails, the Queen Mother will definitely regard Sister A as a thorn in her side, and she can't rest assured." ”

"I'm prepared." The concubine's smile softened.

"He Yan has already found out that Ji De's brother has been in Prime Minister Xie's mansion."

"Really?" The concubine knew that Ji De's sacrifice of her life was bound to protect her family, but the Son of Heaven was unwilling to pursue it any further, and she had no ability to investigate, so she never expected He Ye to secretly help.

"Really, but now it's a corpse."

Chaise:......

"Sister don't be frustrated, He Yan's identity is not ordinary, and he is deeply trusted by his brother, otherwise he would not have secretly ordered He Yan to teach me swordsmanship and martial arts, Ji De's family has always been mastered by Xie Raoping, which is enough to prove that Xie Raoping will not escape the blame for the murder of the queen, and Sister A's purpose is not to investigate the old case, and it doesn't matter what the evidence is."

The concubine was reminded by this, and immediately understood.

Even if the Son of Heaven firmly believes that Xie Raoping is the real murderer of poisoning Empress Pei, but with the Queen Mother's strength, there is nothing to be done at the moment, but as long as the Son of Heaven hates Xie Raoping, even if he can't execute Xie Raoping for the crime of poisoning Empress Pei, there will be a chance in the future...... But in order to achieve the goal, it is necessary to return to the military and government, and if the queen mother is unwilling to delegate power, she will inevitably form a confrontation with the Son of Heaven.

"This matter is not important, He Yan even inquired about the fact that the palace was already boiling, and the people were talking about the fact that the Queen Mother was allowed by the first emperor to get involved in politics early, and praised that the Queen Mother also has the virtue and talent of Queen Wen, which is a blessing for the world." He Ye said again.

The concubine almost knocked over the tea mill, and it was easy to calm down: "The queen mother is impatient, she is really not satisfied behind the scenes, this is to follow the example of Queen Wen to listen to the government!" ”

"Ayazhongqian really acquiesced to the Queen Mother's involvement in politics?" He Ye was obviously very interested in this, he had already asked Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan was only able to get out of the court by being promoted by Empress Cui, and the Queen Mother had obviously fallen out of favor when Empress Cui entered the palace, even if she was involved in politics, it was a matter of the past, and Jiang Loop didn't know much.

The concubine is also not very good, in fact, if the queen mother was involved in politics if it wasn't for Mrs. Tai's reminder, she might not know it now.

"The saints must know." The concubine said, "No, this matter must be informed to the saint in time." ”

"Sister, don't be anxious." He Ye still smiled with red lips and white teeth: "Even if you tell the saint about this, the saint will not do anything, maybe the saint even has the intention of abdicating, but thinks that it is a good thing for the queen mother to listen to the government." ”

The concubine said anxiously: "If the saint learns that Xie Raoping poisoned Pei Hou......"

"At this time, it is not yet the time, if the Queen Mother wants to listen to the government, it is bound to let Xie Xiang wait for the book, and at that time, we can give the matter of He Yan to the elder brother, the elder brother is angry, and it is possible to obstruct the queen mother from listening to the government, if you tell the elder brother at this time, it will only cause the grass to be frightened into a snake, Sister Imagine, the elder brother will not punish the queen mother for the death of the queen anyway, and will only take Xie Raoping to vent his anger, if the queen mother abandons Xie Raoping for the sake of the overall situation, the elder brother will retreat, maybe he will be more unintentional about national politics because of remorse in his heart, Sister, Our purpose is not to Xie Raoping's life and death. He Ye reminded.

Seeing that the concubine was still hesitating, He Ye simply said: "Otherwise, I will make a bet with Sister A, after Brother Ah wakes up, let's inform Brother Ah of the things outside the palace, I dare to guarantee that even if Brother understands that the Queen Mother has the intention of listening to the government, he will not take any measures." ”

So on the evening of this day, when He Yan woke up from his slumber, the concubine and He Ye came hand in hand, without mentioning Ji De's relatives, only saying a lot of discussions outside the palace, He Ye was even curious: "Brother, I don't know if this is a rumor?" ”

He Yan supported his forehead with one hand, but it was not because of annoyance, but he was still drowsy after being drunk, and he replied particularly casually: "It's not a rumor, Aya was sad because of the death of the queen, and he didn't care about national politics, and he intended to entrust all the major affairs of the military state to a few ministers to discuss and deal with it, but because Pei Xiang and other forces knelt down, he took back his life, but Aya always felt tired, at first he told his mother to recite the recital, and then because his mother had a lot of opinions on national politics, he gradually let his mother review the recital, when I was seven or eight years old, I witnessed my mother's approval of the recital, and I admired it for a long time......"

He Yan even sighed: "Thanks to my mother, I am really incapable of taking care of government affairs in my current situation." ”

He Ye raised his eyebrows at the concubine: Look, I expected it to be good.

The concubine still didn't give up: "Sage, can you think about this matter and hide it for so many years, it is obvious that the first emperor ordered it not to be publicized, why are those two female officials so big that they dare to publicize the forbidden things?" must be ordered by the Queen Mother, what does the Queen Mother want? Everyone in the market is talking about the Queen Mother's talent and virtue, which is a blessing for the world! Sage, the Queen Mother wants to listen to the government in a grand manner! ”

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and simply rubbed his forehead: "Mother is indeed more suitable than me to be in charge of government affairs, even if the curtain is lowered to listen to the government, maybe it will be more beneficial to the country and the people." ”

He Ye sat with his eyes down.

The concubine was dumbfounded.
