into the night.

"Miss."

Yuan He came in from outside and called in a low voice.

At that time, Fang Yun had already bathed and hadn't gone to bed yet. He was reclining on the beauty's couch with his eyes closed, and he slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound.

"It's all done?"

"As for the queen, she has already been sent out of the palace. The people Mr. Liu picked up are all in good condition."

Yuanhe is very respectful.

Hearing this, Fang Yun sat up slowly.

"The court lady is also smart. If she continues to be so smart forever, she will be safe for the rest of her life. If she doesn't keep her mouth shut tightly."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, that Yinxiu won't talk anymore."

Yuan He immediately said beside him.

"What do you mean?" Fang Yun frowned, "Did you kill her?"

Seeing that Fang Yun had misunderstood, Yuan He quickly waved his hands and explained.

"The slave followed the order of the empress, and took out the man and sent him away. Although the palace maid suffered a little bit of physical pain, it was not fatal. She asked the slave for the dumb medicine herself, saying that it was to reassure the empress."

Hearing this, Fang Yun narrowed his eyes, with a slight look of unbearability on his face, but it quickly dissipated.

She had kept her promise and wanted to save Yinxiu's life. It was Yinxiu who was afraid and took medicine to make her feel at ease.

This crime is none of her business.

After all, if she hadn't acted, Yinxiu would have committed the crime of giving Wan Lingyi the drug that would kill her for Concubine He, so she wouldn't be able to survive.

Thinking about it, this palace lady is also smart, knowing that after this dumb drug is used, although she will be unable to speak, she will have no worries for the rest of her life.

"Okay, Bengong understands, thank you for your hard work, let's go down." Fang Yun waved his hand.

Yuan He immediately withdrew.

At this time, Yan Wei came forward and helped Fang Yun stand up.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's getting late, Madam, let's rest."

"Ah."

Fang Yun nodded, let her help him walk into the inner room, and ordered again.

"By the way, it will be the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. You will go to the warehouse tomorrow to pick some things and send them to the Liu family outside the palace.

Yan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Qingrong mentioned it early, so I must have prepared it."

Hearing this, Fang Yun didn't say anything more and got on the couch to rest.

Tired all day, but also sleepy and weak.

But at that time she was able to sleep, and in Yichun Palace, the candlelight in Yilan Hall was still on.

Wan Liangyuan sat cross-legged on the couch with a gloomy expression, her eyes were full of hatred.

"Who is trying to kill me? Is the mantis catching the cicada or the oriole behind? It's a strategy that kills two birds with one stone."

Yuetao felt extremely distressed, her brows were furrowed, and she was also indignant.

"It's obvious that Concubine He was not harmed, but we are the victims. The Queen's Empress is too much to convict without a thorough investigation. You have been greatly wronged this time!"

Not to mention being drugged with the best child-killing drug, she was demoted to one level and became a good girl, which really can kill people's anger.

The only thing that is considered good is that the amount of the child-killing medicine is not enough, so that it will not really hurt her body.

Wan Liangyuan gritted her teeth, "Even if the queen wants to investigate this time, I'm afraid there will be nothing to be found out. When that court lady named Yinxiu poured dirty water on me, she prepared all the evidence together. She must have made a perfect plan. .”

"That's right, why did someone steal those pieces of jewelry of yours? It's because of the servants' fault that they didn't notice." Yue Tao was annoyed.

Mentioning this, Wan Liangyuan immediately raised her head, with a bit of ruthlessness in her eyes.

"There must be spies in Yilan Hall. You are the only one who handles all the big and small things around me. Naturally, you can't manage them. There are always omissions, and these people take advantage of the loopholes."

"Since there are spies, let's check it out. Although it's grounded, it didn't say that we shouldn't control the people in our yard!"

Yuetao said immediately, already thinking about which palace maid and eunuch had the opportunity to get close to Wan Liangyuan's jewelry.

But at this time Wan Liangyuan poured cold water on her.

"I was demoted to Liangyuan, and the palace immediately followed the regulations and reduced the number of servants. The spy must have been moved out at that time. Now I have been grounded for another three months. How can I check?"

Three months later, when she was able to come out, those people who were transferred from her Yilan hall had long since been sent to where they were sent.

Yuetao was stunned and bit her lip unwillingly.

"Then we're going to suffer from this dumb loss?"

"What can I do if I don't eat?" Wan Liangyuan took a deep breath irritably, "After all, my foundation is shallow and not strong enough to fight with others. This time, I can only take it as a lesson to gain wisdom. When I get better in the future In a high position, there will always be a time to clear up your grievances."

During the filial piety period, everyone can't go to bed, and they are banned for three months, but it's not that terrible.

Although he was demoted, his elder brother was still highly used in the court. Now it was even more so when Shangyang State and Daqi were in a border stalemate, and they needed military officers and talents.

Wan Liangyuan knew that as long as her brother survived, the emperor would not completely forget her.

Then, she still has a chance to make a comeback.

"Go to sleep." Wan Liangyuan lay down, "How many people are expecting that I won't be able to sleep, but I just want to be well, and make them unhappy."

Yuetao nodded, helped her tuck the corner of the quilt, put down the tent, turned off the lights and went out.

This turmoil caused so much trouble that nothing happened in the palace until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The short five days of tranquility also gave people a kind of pleasure in taking a break from their busy schedule.

It just so happened that it was snowing again these few days, so Fang Yun once again lived the days of staying in the palace to coax the children.

Pei Yao was probably really busy and never came to the harem again.

The Queen's treatment of He Lingyi and Wan Liangyuan was also acquiesced, and she was quite unwilling to care about it.

That means that there must be something in the previous court that made him unable to get away, presumably it was because of the war with Shangyang Kingdom.

In the current tense state, it is estimated that they will really fight.

But I'm not sure when the war will start. The feeling of a knife hanging over my head is really uncomfortable.

No, on the day of the family banquet on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, although Pei Yao came to participate, he was still absent-minded at the dinner table, as if planning to eat two bites quickly and leave.

"The emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, and everyone has lost weight. No matter how busy the government affairs are, the emperor must take care of his body."

Concubine Yang opened her mouth softly at this moment, her face full of concern.

As she spoke, she beckoned Si Qi behind her to come forward.

"This is the fur fur that my concubine's father entrusted someone to send to the palace a few years ago. It was made of black bear skin. The concubine sewed it into a cushion. If it is cold today, the imperial study room is no more than the bedroom. There are earth dragons in the palace. Your Majesty When dealing with government affairs, it is easy to get cold after sitting for a long time, so it will be better if you put this pad on."

When she was speaking, everyone looked over and saw a bearskin cushion and a small wooden box on the tray in Si Qi's hand.

"Bearskin?" Pei Yao seemed a little interested.

He motioned to Hong Zheng to take the things.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, and said.

"Yes, thick and soft fur is indeed warmer than fox fur. You have your heart."

Seeing Pei Yao's praise, Concubine Yang smiled and pointed to the small wooden box on the tray.

"Your Majesty, take a look inside the box. After my concubine's brother killed the bear, he took the teeth of the black bear and made an ivory sculpture. Although it is small and cannot be compared to ivory, it is still exquisite. It is suitable for use as a fan pendant or something."

As she said so, Pei Yao followed her words and opened the box and took out the bear tooth to play with.

Then he said, "Did your brother hunt this bear?"

"Yes." Concubine Yang nodded, "My brother has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is not bad at riding and shooting. He often comes back from hunting wild animals."

But at this point, Concubine Yang paused, then said embarrassedly.

"But the concubine's father said that it's not good for the big man to practice martial arts to defend the country and guard the border. It's not good for the elder brother to be at home like this. Don't laugh at the elder brother, the concubine."
