"The reason why I didn't open the palace door immediately was because I was afraid of a recurrence of my condition. On the other hand, I also wanted to confuse the people who were doing this secretly. The Fengqi Palace also had to be cleaned up, so the time was wasted."

Lianyi still explained softly.

"Lianyi, you did a good job. The most important thing is that the children are safe now."

The emperor naturally knows what is most important to him.

"Your Majesty, I just finished handling the affairs of Fengqi Palace, but I learned that Concubine Liang had a miscarriage and was still a boy. What's going on? Didn't I ask my concubine to take over the palace affairs temporarily? Why did this happen? matter?"

Ripple asked with a worried look.

After hearing this, the emperor's face darkened and he said in a deep voice:

"Forget about that idiot. He deliberately acted like a monster and caused me to lose a child."

"Your Majesty, calm down, anger is harmful to your health!"

Lianyi immediately comforted him.

"I don't know what Concubine Liang is thinking. She has been promoted and has the emperor's love. How could she do such a thing."

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

"It's okay not to mention it!"

The emperor waved his hand directly.

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

"Your Majesty, this time the man said he was avenging the second child, but I feel that it may not have been done by the second child."

"Well, I also guessed it. Maybe it was my good third brother who did it. He just did it to frame the blame and distract me. That's why he did it."

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

"Then your Majesty, you should be careful. After all, you are showing that he is hiding, and sometimes it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

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

There were some twists and turns in the palace due to the smallpox incident. The Meng family army far away at the border also fought against the Qianglang tribe from time to time, but the scale was not large, and the opponents mainly used probing.

Even in small-scale battles, there were casualties. The Meng family army continued to lose numbers in non-large-scale battles, which made General Meng feel distressed.

This news was told to Lianyi by the Meng family who came to give New Year's gifts. Lianyi thought about the memorial he accidentally saw and asked someone to bring a message back to General Meng.

When General Meng received the news that Lianyi was brought back by someone, he was silent for a long time. After sending the person away, he asked his two sons to meet him in the study.

"The Empress asked someone to give me instructions and asked me to temporarily stabilize the border and not get caught in a battle with the Qianglang tribe. It would not only cost the troops but outweigh the gains, and also make the emperor jealous."

General Meng said directly.

"Did the Queen say anything else?"

"Let us take advantage of the discord between the eldest prince and the second prince of the Qianglang clan to create conflicts and plunge the Qianglang clan into civil war. We can preserve our strength, keep an eye on the war situation at all times, and buy her at least five years."

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

Meng Guangdong asked with a frown.

"The person who came here didn't say anything. Just be aware of this matter yourself. If you have the opportunity to enter the palace, you can ask the Queen in person."

"Now the eldest prince and the second prince are working together to harass the border. How can they be at odds?" Meng Guangshen asked.

"The Queen should have known about it 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 looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes. Meng Guangshen couldn't hold his breath and said directly:

"Why else? It will naturally consume the strength of our Meng family army."

"Father, I think my second brother is right. The late emperor was very suspicious of our Meng family, and the emperor's marriage to Lianyi was just a temporary measure for the royal family to stabilize us.

I just didn't expect that after a palace change, Lianyi would gain a firm foothold in the palace, and even give birth to three sons for the emperor. With a stable position and 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 of their relatives becoming bigger, so now they have begun to weaken our Meng family army. "

Meng Guangdong was three years older than his brother, more stable, and saw the problem more thoroughly, so he explained the key in one sentence.

General Meng was very pleased, nodded and said:

"You are right. I, Meng An, have been loyal and patriotic throughout my life as a soldier. The same goes for you and Guangshen. But what about your next generation? What about the next generation? Can they withstand the temptation of a big position? "

The two brothers didn't reply this time because they couldn't guarantee it.

"Although I don't know what Lianyi's intention is, since she sent the news back, she must have considered it. Even if it is not for our Meng family, we must work hard for the sons and daughters who follow us."

"Yes, father!"

After the two agreed, they turned to discuss how to provoke a fight between the eldest prince and the second prince of the Qianglang tribe. In the end, they used an ordinary honey trap to provoke a fight between the two parties, so that the Qianglang tribe The clan fell into civil war.

For a time, the fighting at the border also decreased. With less fighting, there would naturally be fewer casualties. The corresponding losses of horses, weapons, and personnel were greatly reduced. Throughout the winter, the border was rarely quiet.

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

That day when the emperor came to Fengqi Palace, he was a bit rude in his words. Lianyi also pretended to be aggrieved and tried to cater to him. After sending the emperor away, Lianyi's face darkened.

"Empress, what does your Majesty mean by this? I have trouble in the court and come to you to vent my anger?"

Lanzhi said angrily.

"The emperor is also worried about the political affairs of the court. I can't share the emperor's worries. I just got a few extra words. It's okay!"

No wonder!

That night, Duoduo dragged the emperor out of the concubine's bed and left him on the ground all night, then stuffed him back in after dawn.

Then the emperor contracted a cold and fell ill, and rested for five days. He recovered under Ripple's "careful" care, and reluctantly went to court on the sixth day.

After that time, as long as the emperor showed his face to Lianyi and said unpleasant words, he would be the unlucky one in a short time, either catching a cold or getting angry, being choked when drinking water, or being choked when eating were all trivial matters.

Quan Fu, who was around the emperor, noticed something was wrong. Every time he faced Lianyi, he was cautious, for fear of making the queen unhappy.

Because the emperor had been struggling for two years, but there was still no movement in the harem, Zhou Yuanzheng was also puzzled, and finally had no choice but to retire and return to his hometown. The emperor was in good health, but even if he couldn't give birth to a child, he couldn't cure it.

Lianyi also deliberately mentioned it to the emperor in a subtle way and asked him to take care of his body. After all, if a concubine couldn't conceive a child, it could be her own fault. None of the more than thirty concubines in the entire harem were pregnant. This must be a problem. It's not the concubine's problem anymore.

The emperor naturally understood Lianyi's hint and seemed to be running away. After agreeing, he turned around and left the harem.

Five years passed in a blink of an eye, and there were still only three children in the harem, and their imaginary years were already ten.
