The next day, Ye Qing went to Changshou Palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager early in the morning. Because Xiao Jue said yesterday, she had insomnia for most of the night. After dressing up this morning, her face was still a little haggard.

When I went to Changshou Palace, I saw her haggard appearance, and the empress dowager, who was always strict, rarely cared about her: "The woman in this harem is just the word "support". Whoever survives to the end will be the winner. The queen should be more concerned about her own body."

Ye Qing nodded and replied respectfully: "Thank you for your mother's teachings."

The Empress Dowager was in the palace with many ears and ears. Xiao Jue stayed in Zhaoyang Palace for several days, so she naturally knew that Ye Qing was particularly kind: "A few years ago, the Princess of Huai'an came to the palace to see me and handed me a hundred years old ginseng. You can take it back and replenish your body. Only after recuperating your body can the Ai family hold their grandson as soon as possible."

Ye Qing smiled awkwardly and did not respond.

But the Empress Dowager seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and she was having sex with Ye Qing.

Speaking of later, Ye Qing learned the reason why the Empress Dowager is good today - the emperor suddenly began to reuse her father.

He also handed over the errand of controlling water in Jiangnan so important and sufficient oil and water to her father.

Ye Qing remembers the plot of water control in the original work. Emperor Dog gave the important task of managing floods to the Minister of Works. As a result, the Minister of Works failed to control water, and countless people were displaced, which eventually caused a plague, which made the people live in misery.

The Minister of Works, who went to control the water, was killed by a mob. In the end, the mob uprising completely broke up the already fragmented Dahan Dynasty...

Her cheap dad would undoubtedly die when he went to treat the water!

Just thinking about it, Ye Qing felt a headache.

She tactfully mentioned the Queen Mother: "Have my father done similar errands before?"

"Your father is the Minister of Rites, and these things of repairing rivers have always been done by people from the Ministry of Works." The Empress Dowager replied, which means that Ye Shangshu didn't understand this at all.

Ye Qing felt that he could already foresee the dark future.

She was increasingly confused about what the dog emperor was thinking. She had nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites. No matter how she thought about it, she shouldn't do it.

Unless... the dog emperor wants to support the Ye family.

As soon as this idea came up, Ye Qing felt it was a bit unrealistic.

She was struggling when the maids in the Empress Dowager stumbled in and looked panicked: "Empress Dowager, someone has died! Concubine Su is dead!"

How could Su Ruyi die at this time?

Ye Qing's first reaction was that the news was fake.

"Die, how did you die?" After all, he was the last palace fighting king. The empress dowager was shocked when she heard the news, but after being shocked, she quickly calmed down.

The little palace maid replied tremblingly: "It is said to be... poisoned."

The word poisoning comes out, and the entire Changshou Palace is so quiet that the needle falls on the ground that you can hear it.

The Empress Dowager angrily slapped the case: "Rebellion! Rebellion! What do they regard this palace as a place! It was the queen before, but now it is Concubine Su again. Does the thief still take the Dahan Dynasty seriously?"

Ye Qing knew that the Empress Dowager was not angry because of the poisoning of Concubine Su, but because the poisoning scene in the palace was staged again every few days. The reason was not found out, and the royal majesty was provoked.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was in person, Ye Qing remembered Xiao Jue's words yesterday, "Don't let the Empress Dowager leave the Changshou Palace no matter what," and was full of excitement. Could it be that Concubine Su was suddenly poisoned and had something to do with the dog emperor?

Xiao Jue told them not to leave the Changshou Palace anyway, which means that only the Changshou Palace is absolutely safe now. Behind Su Ruyi are Gu Linyuan and King An, but I am afraid that the three parties are fighting in the palace now.

If they go rashly, they will definitely be cannon fodder.

Ye Qing made up his mind and staggered with his forehead when the empress dowager said she wanted to go to Yonghe Palace in person.

"Empress, what's wrong with you!" Zi Zhu's shocked temperament fully demonstrated her advantages at this moment.

The queen mother's eyes were instantly attracted by Zi Zhu's loud voice.

Ye Qing's haggard face was particularly strong at this moment. When the empress dowager saw her like this, she felt distressed instantly. The nanny who was calling some helps Ye Qing to the soft collapse and lie down, keeping muttering: "You kid, you are uncomfortable and just say it, why are you forcing yourself to do?"

Faced with the Queen Mother's worries, Ye Qing's conscience was a little hurt, but for the sake of personal safety, she still had to continue pretending.

Ye Qing tried hard to make a weak expression: "I'm worried about my mother, I'm fine."

"You look like this, and you still say it's okay!" The Empress Dowager was so anxious that she called out: "Imperial Doctor, call the Imperial Doctor over!"

An old lady who followed the Empress Dowager didn't know what she thought of. When she saw Ye Qing's eyes suddenly changed, she said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress, the Empress has had a bad appetite and is not in good spirits these days. She fainted today..."

The Empress Dowager suddenly remembered that the emperor had been to Ye Qing's palace for many days. When she looked at Ye Qing again, she turned from worry to ecstasy: "Qing'er, do you have this?"

The empress dowager's voice was several times louder, and she continued to shout: "Imperial Doctor, call the Imperial Doctor to the Ai family!"

Ye Qing:...

No, why did things turn out like this?

Imperial study room.

Xiao Jue stood in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back, with the window half open, and the light in the room was still a little dark, and he seemed to be integrated with the faint darkness.

"The fish has been hooked." Wang Jing, the commander of the imperial guard, said respectfully.

A falling peach petal was swept in from the window by the wind, and fell at Xiao Jue's feet, with a faint pink and misty feeling.

When Xiao Jue stepped forward to pick up the book, he crushed the peach petal without any pity. His tone was careless, and he seemed to have endless coldness: "The big fish ran away, remember to cast a net."

Wang Jing said: "Your Majesty is indeed as expected. Not only Concubine Su, Concubine Yang is also a member of King An. Yang Xiang is cautious and has not been able to catch his handle so far."

Xiao Jue took out a piece of the sect and flipped it over, picked up the pen and made several marks on the yellowed paper page: "No hurry, the fox always reveals his tail. How is it happening to King An?"

"We have caught the secret nail in Yang Fei's palace. After a while, Shen Xingshi took a chance, he had all the tricks. All the secret nails buried by King An in the palace have been captured. Concubine Yang deliberately plotted to murder Concubine Su and blamed the queen. King An gave Concubine Su a medicine to pretend to die and leave the palace. However, Gu Linyuan, the son of the Old General Gu, also joined in and hid in Yonghe Palace so far. He seemed to have no idea that Concubine Su was the secret chess that King An had inserted into the palace." Wang Jing hesitated for a moment when he said the latter.

No matter what, Concubine Su is nominally the emperor's woman. A man was hidden in the concubine's bedroom, and any emperor would probably not be able to bear it.

But Xiao Jue had no intention of being surprised at all, or rather, he seemed to have known it for a long time, and said lightly: "Gu Linyuan is a general. If it weren't for those old guys fighting behind their backs and betraying military information, he wouldn't have been wiped out."

After following the emperor for many years, Wang Jing naturally knew who was available to the emperor in the court.

The glory of the old general Gu family was the one who fought on the battlefield in his early years. If we talk about the pure ministers, the Gu family was one of the best pure ministers in the entire Dahan Dynasty. Since ancient times, the emperors have been relieved of the pure ministers, but the bad thing is that General Gu's son is entangled with the remnants of King Cheng.

It can be said that this was a premeditated plan by the King Cheng Party, who used General Gu's son to force him to stand in the side.

But the word "Loyal Gu" is not written, but is engraved into the bones. Even if he learned that his beloved son had died half a year ago, General Gu did not have any rebellious intentions towards the Dahan Dynasty.

Wang Jing knew very well that Gu Linyuan could escape the layers of blockades and enter the palace because the emperor ignored him because of the face of General Gu.

But Xiao Jue's words made Wang Jing think too much. He asked: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Xiao Jue gently pulled a curve out of the corner of his mouth: "Didn't he enter the palace for a woman? Just let them out of the palace."

Although he knew that the new emperor was a little rebellious when dealing with things, Wang Jing was still shocked by Xiao Jue's words and did not come back to his senses. He said, "Emperor, but Concubine Su... is the daughter of Grand Master Su."

Xiao Jue looked at him, and Wang Jing immediately realized that he had said too much, and quickly lowered his head: "It's my subordinate who has surpassed him."

Xiao Jue then continued to look through the book of the book in his hand: "If he can be easily influenced by a woman, then I don't have to keep him."

Letting Gu Linyuan and Su Ruyi leave the palace was a chance that Xiao Jue gave them.

Su Ruyi, a woman, could come to her, but King An was behind her advice. He used the plan. While Su Ruyi was playing a secret chess for King An in the palace, he also used Su Ruyi to get the military talisman from Grand Master Su.

With the military talisman in hand, King An had already lost half of this battle.

For the sake of the Gu family, Xiao Jue let Gu Linyuan go; and Su Ruyi was a test for Gu Linyuan.

If Gu Linyuan was not led by Su Ruyi, then no matter whether Gu Linyuan wanted to return to Gu's family or take her to hide her incognito, Xiao Jue would not bring up old accounts again.

If Gu Linyuan committed the act of treason for a woman, then neither of them would have to stay.

Wang Jing clasped his fists: "I understand."

When he was about to withdraw, Xiao Jue suddenly spoke: "Add to the Changshou Palace, don't let the Empress Dowager and the Queen make any mistakes."

Wang Jing bowed and said, "The Changshou Palace has been surrounded by secret guards into an iron barrel, and even a fly cannot fly in."

Xiao Jue nodded only then.

After Wang Jing withdrew, the entire imperial study room fell into a dead silence.

Outside the window is the warm sunshine, but Xiao Jue's entire aura is sinister and cold.

He looked at the map of mountains and rivers hanging on the wall, and his eyes fell completely silent.

"Knock--"

A gentle knock sound came from outside the window frame.

Xiao Jue restrained all his thoughts and spoke in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

A black shadow flashed outside the window, and half-kneeled on the ground and replied respectfully: "The news of Concubine Su's death has spread throughout the palace, and the concubines of each palace went to Yonghe Palace to pay their respects."

All of this was Xiao Jue's expectations. He nodded to show his awareness and said, "Continue to stare."

The secret guards have no intention of leaving.

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows: "What else is there?"

The secret guard thought about the news from Changshou Palace and thought it would be better to report it to Xiao Jue. He said, "The news from Changshou Palace is that the queen is pregnant."

Xiao Jue's expression collapsed for a moment.

“…set the Changshou Palace.”
