The hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at the door and saw Pei Yao wearing a bright yellow dragon robe walking into the hall with a gloomy face. The queen followed him and frowned.

At this time, Pei Yu was finally afraid of being short of breath, so he took back his hand that had just finished hitting someone. His mind trembled and shrank back.

She originally wanted to lean on her husband Yin Changce, but Yin Changce was even more afraid than her, so she actually knelt down first.

Pei Yu was idle and turned around and saw her husband's actions, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

When they were together on weekdays, she thought Yin Changce was a gentleman with character and responsibility. She encountered something today, but she didn't expect that she had such virtue.

The filter was broken, and for a moment, Pei Yu was also angry and annoyed.

Seeing that she didn't kneel down, Yin Changce was anxious and scared, so he pulled her down with her, regardless of the look in Pei Yu's eyes that seemed to be eating people.

However, Pei Yao did not look at the couple, but went over them and went straight to Fang Xuan.

At this moment, Fang Xuan was frightened and supported by Qingrong and Yanwei, as if she was so scared that she was so frightened that she felt very distressed.

Originally, she was weak and everyone knew she was frightened, so she was frightened now and pretended to be in trouble, but no one doubted it.

"Emperor." Fang Xuan looked up at Pei Yao with tears in his eyes.

Qingrong, who was holding her, hurriedly said.

"Emperor, Princess Duanrou talked about the sad things about the Empress, saying that something happened when the Empress was pregnant with the Fourth Prince, and that her wedding would be unlucky. She said that the Empress had a conflict with her, and the Empress kindly wanted to make up for the Princess.

The princess scolded the empress for being humble and unworthy of being humble."

"The Empress is really angry. Ming Yuanhe asked the princess and the princess to go out and calm down, but the princess not only beat Yuanhe, but also wanted to beat the Empress. Originally, the Empress was weak and could not bear the fright. I was afraid that she would be frightened now!"

After saying this, Pei Yao also showed annoyance on his face.

He glanced at Pei Yu with a cold look, then he reached out and pulled Fang Xuan in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Duanruo is unrespectful and arrogant, and I will go back to the princess's mansion immediately and think about my mistakes in the closed door!"

After hearing this, Pei Yu wanted to say something to argue, but Yin Changce pulled him hard and saw Pei Yao's face so gloomy that he didn't dare to open his mouth again.

I was so frustrated that I was dragged down.

At this time, the queen said softly, "Emperor, I'm scared to see Concubine Zhao. She has always been weak. Why not go to the side palace to take a break first and ask Doctor Zeng to come and have a look."

"Okay, let's go, I'll accompany you." Pei Yao nodded.

Then, Fang Xuan, accompanied by Pei Yao and the Queen, went to the side hall. In the hall, everyone did not dare to act rashly, and honestly returned to their seats to wait.

Concubine Yang was also one of them, but after sitting down, she looked thoughtful.

"What's wrong with the Empress?" Si Qi asked while serving.

"Nothing." Concubine Yang lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea. "I just felt that Concubine Zhao seemed to be a little calmer today. Although Princess Duanrou was not a holy heart, she was so provocative and wanted to drive people out of the palace. Is it a bit?

He behaved strangely, as if he was deliberately irritating Princess Duanrou."

After hearing this, Si Qi frowned, "Empress, please think too much. Look, Concubine Zhao is becoming more and more charming. Princess Duanrou is not a good person. She has long had a lot of grudges with Concubine Zhao. Before the emperor ascended the throne, she was in danger.

He was involved in that time."

Speaking of this, he paused and lowered his voice.

"What's more, she kept grabbing the fourth prince and talking about things. Isn't that poking Zhao Fei's lung tube? Zhao Fei thought she was angry."

After hearing Si Qi's words, Yang was still a little suspicious, but he couldn't think of any reason, so he nodded.

"I guess that's the case. She's arrogant. She's so glorious when she's favored today. If she loses favor in the future, she will climb higher and fall more heavily."

But Yang never expected that in the side hall, Yuan He had just closed the door, Fang Yoong swept away his weak attitude just now, and smiled and bowed to Pei Yao and the Queen.

"The emperor and the empress came in time. If you delay for a while, I really don't know how to continue acting."

"You are smart. When the emperor talks to me for a moment, you will understand. There is no way to do it well. But Princess Duanrou just now, she didn't really hurt you." The queen also smiled.

The situation today is about half a month ago.

After news of the unstable northern border and the abnormal movements of Shangyang Kingdom came, Pei Yao was not only concerned about the army, but also about food and grass.

The corrupt officials killed a few, but these are easily picked up by little borers.

Those corrupt officials who are rich and well-off have done everything they have to check them carefully.

Of course, there are also those who are much greedy but not doing it clean enough, such as the Jinrong Hou Mansion and Princess Duanrou Pei Yu’s current in-laws’ family.

Before the Jinrong Hou Mansion married the princess, there was no real power except for the short title, because both the father and son were both prodigal, and the huge Hou Mansion looked glamorous and scattered inside.

But marrying a princess is different.

Pei Yu's dowry is half less than the dowry of a real princess, but the money is still quite large, and Yin Changce is also a capable person. He took this money and started making money.

manual labor.

What makes money quickly?

Of course it is an illegal way.

This is such a "good way" to put money in.

At first, they were hiding it from Pei Yu, but later the couple started together. Pei Yu's name is much more useful than that of Jinrong Hou Mansion, which has been declining for many years.

Look, the couple got married at the end of last year, and now they have only been a year. They have made a lot of money by relying on illegal businesses.

But you can tell by looking at the couple's gorgeous clothes today.

It would have been fine if Pei Yao ignored it, but now the treasury is short of money, so after checking it, it was found out.

In fact, it was not just Pei Yao, the queen's mother's Lu family, and Liu Qin from Fang Sun's side, who found something more or less.

But the evidence is not conclusive enough, and it is not convenient to attack this sister for a while, so I have to arrange someone to go to the house to find evidence, right?

The most convenient one is to naturally defeat one by one.

So Pei Yao's order just now was to ask Pei Yu to return to the princess's mansion to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, not Jinrong Hou Mansion.

This is to separate the two.

Moreover, Pei Yu's New Year's Eve palace banquet today was also an opportunity to help Pei Yao take action against her.

Originally, she planned to let the queen go, but the queen felt that her status was a little higher, so Pei Yu probably didn't dare to act too much, so after thinking about it, she recommended Fang Xuan to take on this important task.

This is why Pei Yao took the time out of his busy schedule and went to Jiaofang Palace and Yuzhang Palace.

"Don't worry, I'm sorry, someone is protecting me, I'm fine."

Fang Yoon bowed and replied, then looked at Pei Yao at the end and joked.

"How do you plan to reward me? The Empress will send someone to send me some clothes this morning."

Pei Yao also curled his lips, "Give it, the queen gave you the material, then I will reward you two sets of new jewelry, which is easy to match."

"Then I will thank the emperor." Fang Xuan smiled slightly.

The queen said that she went to the main hall to entertain guests first, and then left first.

Pei Yao and Fang Yong were left behind, and after Doctor Zeng came and walked over for a formality, he returned to the main hall.

With the name of "frightened", Fang Yoon was naturally showing weakness, or asked Pei Yao to lead him in. This scene fell into Wan Lingyi's eyes, and it was like a needle.
