"Whatever it is, it doesn't matter if it's false. How can we count Yang's words just before he died?"

Fang Yun picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Even if what Yang said is true, there is no evidence.

"This servant is just worried about your Majesty. After all, what Yang said is not unreasonable." Yan Wei sighed.

The pampered concubine and the unfavored queen have rarely been able to coexist peacefully since ancient times.

Fang Yun narrowed his eyes, "I know your thoughts, don't worry, the Queen will not do anything to me for the time being."

"This servant is a little confused by what the empress said." Yan Wei looked confused.

At present, in the harem, apart from the queen, Fang Yue is the eldest concubine. Although there is Concubine Jin in the concubine position, Concubine Jin has no family background and no favor. Although she has children, the eldest prince is still not top-notch in studies.

Concubine Yang, a powerful enemy, had fallen. In order to keep Feng's position safe, the best thing for the queen to do was to take down Fang Yun again.

Although Concubine Yang was annoying, what she said was quite reasonable.

Faced with Yan Wei's doubts, Fang Yun put down the tea cup in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"The queen is not stupid. She must have known that I also played a role in the emperor's destruction of the Yang family. So I am a meritorious person in front of the emperor, and the emperor still loves me. She is against me at this moment. , aren’t you following Yang’s old path?”

Speaking of this, Fang Yun paused, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Besides, now that the draft has begun, the new year has passed, the last round of palace selection has passed, and the rookie girls will enter the palace. This is the first draft after the emperor ascended the throne. How many aristocratic families are waiting for this opportunity, and the show girls who can make it to the end , she must have a good appearance or family background, if I sit in the position of queen, I will definitely keep a favored concubine to use as a sword."

Yan Wei's heart tightened, "Then the empress is going to do things for the empress."

"Without the Queen, wouldn't I have to face those newcomers?"

Fang Yun slightly raised the corners of his lips and looked at her with a smile.

"No concubine would dare to pull the queen down as soon as she enters the palace, but everyone will have the goal of becoming a beloved concubine in their hearts. Naturally, I will become a roadblock for them. These people will be the first to bite. I."

"Your Majesty, you are still smiling, but this servant is also worried!" Yan Wei frowned.

Fang Yun just waved his hand at this moment, "Okay, don't think too much. After getting along with the queen for so many years, I have a certain understanding of the queen's temperament. As long as I don't think too much about her things, she won't What did you do to me?"

In the harem, the queen and the favored concubine are on the same alliance. Are they still afraid that they will not be able to suppress the new arrivals?
If there was really such a powerful person who could defeat her and the Queen in one fight, then he would have to admit that his skills were inferior to others.

"Okay, where is Qingrong? Haven't you come back yet?" Fang Yun changed the subject.

Yan Wei shook his head, "Not yet. I haven't come back yet. I guess I went to pick up the second princess from school again."

"Now I want to go to school all day long. I'm afraid I won't want to go to school when the new year comes." Fang Yun showed a smile on his face and stood up immediately, "I'm in a good mood today. Come with me to the small kitchen to cook a few dishes. Come on, I haven’t cooked in person for a long time.”

"Yes."

Yan Wei responded with a smile on his face.

Fengxuan Palace.

When Yan Li came in from outside, the queen was playing with the fifth prince.

Hearing the noise, he waved his hand and asked Min Si to carry the fifth prince down first.

"Have you finished your errand?" The Queen sat down and asked in a deep voice.

Yan Li handed over his hand and said, "If I tell you, Yang will die if she doesn't want to. The servant forcibly drank poisonous wine and died. Now I have ordered people to transport the body out of the palace."

"Yes." The queen nodded and asked, "What did Yang say before he died?"

"When the servant went there, Concubine Zhao had just come out of the cold palace, and she must have gone to see Yang for the last time. She didn't know what stimulation she received, and she went crazy. She shouted that Concubine Zhao dared to murder the emperor's heir, and then she I am cursing you, my wife, with dirty words that are offensive to my ears, and I dare not tell you that I know it."

Faced with the queen's question, Yan Li answered truthfully.The queen also quickly captured the key points from Yan Li's mouth.

"Conspiracy to kill the emperor's heir, Concubine Zhao?"

"Yes." Yan Li nodded, "But Yang went crazy. One moment he called the third prince, the other moment he said that the child in her belly was harmed by someone else, and the next moment he scolded Concubine Zhao that she deserved to die when she was pregnant and was killed. I really couldn't hear anything. useful."

After hearing this, the queen's eyes darkened, and she was silent for a moment before waving her hand.

"Okay, I know, you can go down."

Yanli bowed his hands and bowed respectfully.

Tim Mo came forward at this moment, "I don't know what Concubine Zhao said to Mrs. Yang that could force her to lose control."

"Yang will kill herself if she does unjust things. She has always hated Concubine Zhao. No matter what Concubine Zhao says, she can easily anger her. If she is a crazy person, don't think too much about it. Just treat the affairs of Yuzhang Palace as usual. "The Queen ordered calmly.

The latter responded without asking any more questions.

In the following days, the harem returned to peace.

The previous Nanning Houfu case was over, and Concubine Yang in the palace had also been sentenced to death. Pei Yao was in a very good mood and came to Yuzhang Palace almost every day.

For a time, Fang Yun's favor could be said to be the most favored in the Sixth Palace.

Of course, Pei Yao still kept his rules and regulations. He was never vague about whether he should go to the Queen's Palace on the 15th day of the lunar month.

The queen was very satisfied with this. Now she was focusing on raising the fifth prince, and she was happy and at ease.

But something happened in the previous dynasty, and Prime Minister Lu petitioned to resign.

It is said that he is old, in poor health, and somewhat incapable of doing his job, so he may no longer be able to assist the emperor properly.

Pei Yao naturally refused to agree to this.

Prime Minister Lu is not old at all. He is only in his early fifties and less than sixty. There are many officials who are older than him. His resignation is just an attitude.

The Marquis of Nanning was about to be wiped out, and the Lu family was now prosperous because of the birth of a queen, so naturally they were worried.

Pei Yao knew what Prime Minister Lu was thinking, so he refused decisively, and he frankly believed in the loyalty of the Lu family and praised him highly.

Although Prime Minister Lu felt a lot more at ease, he still took the initiative to remove some of the family members who were idle in the court, and transferred several young nephews of the Lu family out of Kyoto to serve as officials.

It can be regarded as taking the initiative to weaken the Lu family's influence in the capital and court affairs, so as to appease the emperor.

The Lu family is loyal, but they are also afraid that the emperor will be jealous.

Pei Yao saw the Lu family's actions in his eyes and felt increasingly satisfied.

Immediately, we started to make arrangements for the spring of next March.

The coming year can be expected to be exciting.

There will be an influx of new blood in the court, and the same goes for the harem.

The period between now and the end of the year will be short-lived.

Of course, this is also an assumption.

Because there was no peace for a few days, Fang Yun noticed something strange about He Lingyi.

He had been keeping an eye on her before, but he had not paid special attention to her because he had to take care of the Yang family. Now that the Yang family has been eliminated and Fang Yun has rested and reorganized, he has the leisure to take a look at the situation on He Lingyi's side.

"Empress, He Lingyi secretly sent someone to Furong Hall again, but this time she was rejected and Yanbi didn't see her." Qingrong reported in a low voice.
