It was King Dun who came to report the situation, and his face was not good at the moment.

"Your Majesty, do you still have an investigation into this matter?"

"How do you check?"

Pei Yao paced irritably in the imperial study.

"The Duke of Qin's Mansion is full of loyal martyrs, and now that the bones of the Duke of Qin are not cold, and the body has not yet returned to Beijing, I will send someone to the mansion to inquire about the murder of the six princes of Shangyang State, and those who understand the matter are just that, if they don't know the reason, they should only be flattered to the enemy country for the sake of the war between the two countries to stop, regardless of the name of the hero."

"Then the matter will not be pursued?"

King Dun understood what Pei Yao meant, and he also felt very aggrieved.

But there's really no other way around now.

If the reason why the people behind them want to murder the six princes of Shangyang Kingdom is to cause the two countries to regenerate contradictions and intensify the war, then Pei Yao's investigation will inevitably allow the people behind to take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

It's causing trouble again.

"How is the injury of the sixth prince, can his life be saved?"

After a moment of silence, Pei Yao asked in a low voice.

"Guo Yuan's medical skills are exquisite, and his life has been saved." King Dun immediately said, "It is also because the poison enters through the wound, not directly into the mouth." ”

Pei Yao narrowed his eyes, "In this case, this matter will not be investigated for the time being, and additional personnel will be sent to ensure his safety, and everything will wait for the war in Northern Xinjiang to end." ”

"And what about the outside world?" King Dun asked.

"It's a secret."

Pei Yao said in a deep voice.

The latter gave up and withdrew.

At this time, Hong Zheng came over with the brewed hot tea and reminded in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao's side"

At the time of the incident, Fang Yu was next to him and heard a few words from Fuxi.

This is also the immaturity of OSI.

If it were changed to Hong Zheng to report, no matter how urgent it was, it would not be revealed directly in front of the concubine, and it would be said that there was a minister who had something important to report, and asked Pei Yao to go back.

Although Fuxi has been trained, Hong Zheng is the big eunuch beside Pei Yao, so these still have to be mentioned, even if Pei Yao will punish Fuxi again.

But fortunately, now Pei Yao didn't have the heart to grasp these, so he only said in a deep voice.

"Concubine Zhao is smart, and the people around her are also strict-mouthed, if you remind her, she will know."

"The minions obey."

Hong Zheng lowered his eyes in response.

Then he looked at the tomorrow of the fourth prince and the second princess, and went to Yuzhang Palace the next morning.

Fang Yu was indeed strict here, and did not reveal half a word, but listening to Hong Zheng's reminder at this time, he could guess that the matter was important, so he became more and more cautious.

After the winner left, he silently guessed that it was estimated that there was another involvement behind this matter, and it was inconvenient to investigate it deeply.

Otherwise, the previous dynasties would have been believed by now.

What everyone didn't know was that at this moment, Concubine Yang knew about it in the Zhongcui Palace.

And Concubine Yang's source of information is not the previous dynasty, nor the Yuzhang Palace, but her maiden home, Nanning Houfu.

The letter was simple, first, to inform her that she had previously said that she wanted to select school-age girls from the side branch of the Yang family to enter the palace, and she had already selected someone, and second, let her try to find out the emperor's attitude towards the murder of the six princes of Shangyang Kingdom.

After reading the letter, Concubine Yang immediately ordered someone to burn it.

"The six princes of Shangyang Kingdom were killed, why don't the palace know any rumors."

"The slave maid has never heard of this news, the emperor is hiding it so tightly, is it very involved?" Si Qi was also puzzled.

Concubine Yang's eyes moved slightly, "Do you remember the day before yesterday when the emperor went to Concubine Zhao's palace, didn't stay long and hurriedly returned to Jingqian Palace." ”

"The slave remembers." Si Qi nodded, and then suddenly, "Isn't that what happened that day?" ”

"It must be."

Concubine Yang's tone was very affirmative, and she immediately thought about it.

"It's been so long, but there is no rumor outside, it's about that the sixth prince is fine, and he has already arrested someone, and he doesn't want to make a noise, which makes people's hearts turbulent, but my father is far away in Huizhou, how can I know about it."

When she said this, Si Qi thought of something, and immediately widened her eyes and blurted out.

"Could it be that the person who plotted to kill the six princes of Shangyang Kingdom is Hou."

"Presumptuous!"

Before Si Qi's words could be spoken, Concubine Yang snorted coldly, and the slap fell on her face.

Si Qi, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth after being beaten, reacted immediately and hurriedly knelt down.

"The slave and maid lost her words, the slave and the maid should die, the mother forgives the sin, the slave and the maid were dizzy for a while, bit her tongue, and said the wrong thing, the mother forgives the sin!"

She kowtowed, and Concubine Yang's complexion softened.

Bend down and pull the person up.

"Okay, it's not that this palace has to beat you, it's really a disaster from the mouth, you follow this palace, and this palace is a share of honor and disgrace, what can be said and what can't, you have to remember."

"The slave and maid know, the slave and the maid must be loyal to the mother!"

Si Qi nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty again.

Seeing this, Concubine Yang instructed her to prepare pen and ink and reply to her mother's family.

And all this is happening in the shadows, and no one knows about it.

However, the news of the death of Huo Mingxu, the eldest prince of the Qin State Mansion, soon spread back to Kyoto.

There are four fathers and sons, two dead and one disabled, but the youngest son is still fine.

Pei Yao was silent, only posthumously crowned Huo Mingxu as General Yongyi, and sent someone to the Duke of Qin again, and comforted the Duchess of Qin.

There is always bloodshed and sacrifice in war, but when this thing really happens, no matter how much psychological preparation is made, it will be just as uncomfortable.

can only turn grief and anger into strength, pull out the knife that slashed at himself, and return it.

Pei Yao concentrated grain, grass, clothing and weapons, and tried his best to ensure the needs of the border soldiers, and did not relax because of the temporary weakness of Shangyang Kingdom.

And Huo Mingxuan, carrying the blood of his father and brother, also repelled the enemy army again and again, and completely killed his prestige.

Now, the Huo Jiajun under the command of the Duke of Qin has a new backbone, which is the young general who has just turned eighteen.

Also because of him, the atmosphere of the palace dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve was not too dull.

"Your Majesty, the concubines replace wine with tea, I wish you a cup, I wish the emperor a long and blessed life, and the northern border of my Daqi will be stable as soon as possible, the country will be prosperous, and the people will live in peace."

The queen held the teacup in a dignified manner, and her voice was gentle and powerful.

Now she is almost six months pregnant, because of proper maintenance, the whole person is rounder, her complexion is also excellent, and because she is pregnant, she looks more and more gentle and elegant.

Also pregnant is Concubine Yang.

Concubine Yang's belly is only three months old, and the winter palace clothes are wide and heavy, but she doesn't show her pregnancy.

But those who can't stand the arms must show off.

After Pei Yao drank the queen's toast, Concubine Yang also opened her mouth with a smile.

"The concubine this cup, but also to the emperor, may the emperor live a long life, the great Qi country will be prosperous, the king will be victorious, and the prestige of our country will be raised."

She is pregnant, and it is a palace banquet, so Pei Yao naturally drinks face.

After only this cup, before Fang Yu could move, he heard Concubine Yang mention her first.

"The queen mother and the palace are pregnant, and they can't handle the housework, or the sister of Concubine Zhao is working hard, and the assistant sixth palace organizes this dinner, and the palace also respects Concubine Zhao's sister with a cup, I wish my sister can also get pregnant again as soon as possible, and give birth to a healthy prince for the emperor."
