"The reason why the concubine didn't open the palace door immediately was because she was afraid that her illness would recur, and on the other hand, it was also to confuse the people who were secretly attacking, and the Fengqi Palace also had to be cleaned up, so it was delayed."

Ripple explained softly.

"Ripples, you're doing a good job, the most important thing is that the children are safe and sound now."

The emperor naturally knows what is most important to him.

"Your Majesty, the concubine just dealt with the affairs of Fengqi Palace, but learned that Concubine Liang had a miscarriage and was still a male fetus, what happened? Didn't the concubine let the concubine temporarily take over the palace affairs? How did this happen?"

Ripple asked with a worried face.

Hearing this, the emperor's face sank, and he said in a deep voice:

"Don't mention that idiot, he deliberately made himself a demon and caused me to lose a child."

"The emperor is angry, angry and hurts!"

Ripple immediately reassured.

"I don't know what this Concubine Liang thinks, this rank has also been promoted, and she has won the emperor's love, how could she do such a thing."

Ripple also shook his head and sighed, expressing his incomprehension.

"Don't mention it!"

The emperor waved his hand directly.

Ripple saw that the emperor didn't want to mention it, so he changed the topic:

"Your Majesty, this time that person said that he was avenging the second child, but the concubine felt that this thing may not have been done by the second child."

"Well, I guessed too, maybe my good third brother did it, just to blame and distract me, that's why he did it."

At that time, after listening to Grandma Sun's confession, he had such a guess.

"Then the emperor should be careful, after all, you are in the open and in the dark, and sometimes the secret arrow is difficult to prevent."

"Don't worry, I know what to expect."

The emperor stayed in Fengqi Palace that day, which once again proved that the queen's position in the harem was as stable as Mount Tai, and no one could shake it.

Because of the smallpox incident in the palace, there were some twists and turns, and the Meng family army in the border pass also fought with the Qiang wolf clan from time to time, but the scale was not large, and the other party was mainly tempting.

Even in small-scale battles, there were casualties, and the Meng army continued to lose its strength in non-large-scale battles, which made General Meng feel distressed.

These messages were told to Ripples by the Meng family who came to give New Year's gifts, and Ripples thought about the twists and turns he had accidentally seen, so he asked people to bring a message back to General Meng.

When General Meng received the news that Ripple had brought back, he was silent for a long time, and after sending the people away, he asked his two sons to go to the study to see him.

"The queen asked someone to bring me a message, let me temporarily stabilize the border pass, and don't get caught up in the battle with the Qiang Wolf Clan, which will not only lose troops but also outweigh the losses, and will make the emperor jealous."

General Meng said directly.

"Did the Queen Mother say anything else?"

"Let's take advantage of the discord between the eldest prince and the second prince of the Qiang Wolf Clan to create contradictions and plunge the Qiang Wolf Clan into a civil war, so that we can preserve our strength and keep an eye on the battle situation at any time, and give her at least five years to buy her."

"What does she want to do in five years?"

Meng Guangdong frowned and asked.

"The person who came didn't say it, you just know this matter in your own hearts, if you have the opportunity to enter the palace, you can ask the queen mother in person."

"Now that the eldest prince and the second prince are joining forces to attack the border pass, how can they not get along?"

Meng Guangshen asked.

"The queen should know through the emperor, as for why the emperor didn't tell us such important news, I don't have a clue for the time being, what do you two think?"

General Meng asked deliberately.

The two brothers glanced at each other, and when they saw the meaning in each other's eyes, Meng Guangshen was a little breathless, and said directly:

"What else, naturally, it will consume the strength of our Meng family's army."

"Father, I think what the second brother said is right, the former emperor was suspicious of our Meng family, and the emperor's marriage to Ripple was just an expedient measure by the royal family to stabilize us.

It's just that I didn't expect that after a palace change, Ripples would gain a firm foothold in the palace, even more

The emperor gave birth to three sons, his position is stable, and with our support, it will be easier for the eldest prince to ascend the throne in the future.

It's just that the royal family is afraid that their relatives will become bigger, so now they have begun to weaken our Meng family's army."

Meng Guangdong is three years older than his younger brother, and he is more stable and sees problems more thoroughly, so he explained the key in one sentence.

General Meng was very pleased, nodded and said:

"You're right, I think I'm Meng Anrong Ma all my life, loyalty and patriotism are engraved in my bones, you and Guangshen are the same, but what about your next generation? What about the next generation? Can you resist the temptation of the great position?"

Neither brother replied this time because they could not guarantee it.

"Although I don't know what Ripple's intentions are, since she sent the news back, she must have her considerations, even if it is not for our Meng family, for the sake of those sons who follow us, we have to work hard."

"Yes, father!"

After the two responded, they turned to discuss how to provoke a fight between the eldest prince and the second prince of the Qiang Wolf Clan, and finally they used an ordinary beauty trick that could no longer be ordinary to provoke the fight between the two sides, so that the Qiang Wolf Clan fell into a civil war.

For a time, the fighting at the border pass was also reduced, and the natural casualties would be fewer if there was less fighting, and the corresponding loss of horses, weapons, and personnel was greatly reduced.

The border pass was quiet, but the emperor was not very happy.

On this day, when the emperor came to Fengqi Palace, he spoke a little unpolitely, and Ripple also pretended to be aggrieved, pandering to him, and when he sent the emperor away, Ripple's face sank.

"Niangniang, what does Your Majesty mean by this? If you don't go well in the court, you will be angry with you?"

Laneige said angrily.

"The emperor is also bored with the political affairs of the court, and the palace can't share the worries of the emperor, it's just that he was said two more words, it's okay!"

That's weird!

That night, Duoduo dragged the emperor out of the concubine's bed, threw it on the ground all night, and waited until dawn to stuff the person back.

Then the emperor fell ill with a cold, and he took a break for five days, but he recovered his health under the "careful" care of Ripples, and he barely went to court on the sixth day.

Since that time, as long as the emperor puts on his face to the ripples and says something unpleasant, it won't be long before he is unlucky, either a cold or a fire, choking on drinking water, and choking on eating are all trivial things.

The whole blessing around the emperor sensed that something was wrong, and every time he faced the ripples, he was cautious, for fear of upsetting the queen.

Because the emperor tossed for two years, there was still no movement in the harem, Zhou Yuanzheng was also puzzled, and finally had to return to his hometown, the emperor was in good health, but he couldn't give birth to children, and he couldn't cure it.

Ripple also deliberately mentioned it to the emperor vaguely, asking him to adjust his body, after all, if a concubine can't conceive a child, it can be her own reason, and no one in the entire harem of more than 30 concubines is pregnant, which is definitely not a concubine's problem.

The emperor naturally understood the hint of the ripples, and had a bit of a sense of running away, and turned around and left the harem after agreeing.

Five years have passed in a flash, and there are still only three children in the harem, and they are all ten years old.
