The four words "bring down the queen" are still far away.

After all, what happened this time had nothing to do with the Queen, it was all done by Tian Mo alone.

But as long as Fang Yun thinks and uses some means, he can make the queen suffer a big fall.

After all, this Tian Mo is the queen's maidservant, and her status is different. What she does reflects part of her master's inner situation.

As long as it is done properly, it is not difficult for the slave's crime to be implicated on the master.

Especially since Fang Yun is a complete victim this time, it is really easy to arouse Pei Yao's compassion and protection.

But regardless of whether she wanted to attack the queen, Yun Baolin did save her life and created a good opportunity for her, so she agreed to Yun Baolin's request.

It is not difficult for Fang Yun to help a princess grow up.

As for the sixth princess's future marriage, it should be fine.

Pei Yao is a very responsible father for his children. Even if he is not close to the sixth princess, he will choose a good family for her.

As for Yun Baolin's fate, Fang Yun didn't care.

At this time, it's all up to Pei Yao's arrangement, and everything will go according to the palace rules.

After leaving the place where Yun Baolin was imprisoned, Fang Yun also sighed in a low voice.

"It's a pity that she only cares about her children."

"How many mothers in the world are willing to let their children endure hardships? The Sixth Princess is so young that she is completely taken care of by the slaves and raised in the Yanqing House. As time goes by, the Emperor has less to care about, and it is inevitable that the days will pass. Sadly, Yun Baolin is out of reach. Instead of watching the child suffer, this is one of the few ways she can do something for the Sixth Princess." Qingrong sighed.

After hearing this, Fang Yun said nothing more and returned to Yuzhang Palace.

On the Fengxuan Palace side, Pei Yao and the Queen also turned away from the people waiting on them, and sat down alone.

"Your Majesty is willing to come, so he must be a trusted minister and concubine." The Queen's voice was low.

Pei Yao raised his eyes and looked at her, "You and I are a young couple, and I know a little bit about your temperament. After all, you are not a cruel person."

Hearing what he said, the queen was stunned for a moment, then she let out a self-deprecating chuckle.

"Your Majesty is right. I am not a person who can be completely cruel. Otherwise, I would not be where I am today. If it had been the Yang family or Concubine Wan of that year, sitting in my position. "Sir, probably, there won't be someone like Concubine Zhao in the harem now. I just look forward and backward, wanting to do good, but I can't help the evil thoughts in my heart. In the end, I didn't become a good or bad person."

"I can't help you."

Pei Yao raised his eyes, looked straight at the queen, and spoke in a deep voice.

"I think I have always respected you, but as time goes by, I have become more and more partial to Concubine Zhao. Even though Concubine Zhao has always been well-behaved and sensible, my partiality still makes you uneasy. If not, I think you will The relationship with Concubine Zhao will not be like today."

Unexpectedly, Pei Yao would say this. The queen suddenly felt sad and her eyes turned red.

Yes, after all, what is the deep hatred between her and Fang Yun?

It's just for the sake of his own children, and he wants to be ranked among the top nine, so he has developed hostility in his heart.

And the root of all this really lies in Pei Yao.

Pei Yao's preference for the fourth prince and Fang Yun was the factor that made the queen most uneasy and unwilling.

But Pei Yao is the emperor. Even if he lowers his head, the queen cannot accuse him. She just remained silent for a moment and whispered.

"The emperor can find out the truth and restore my innocence. I am deeply grateful. However, Tim Mo is my maidservant. She made this heinous mistake because of my lax control. If Yun Baolin hadn't stepped forward, she would have died. I'm afraid it has caused a tragic disaster, and I am willing to be punished. However, my mother's family has no knowledge of this matter. I hope the emperor can be more lenient and not involve my mother's family." As she said this, the queen stood up and said solemnly He gave a big salute to Pei Yao.

Pei Yao looked at her with solemn expression on his face.

"Get up, I won't disturb the Lu family."

"Concubine, thank you for your grace."

The tense string in the Queen's eyes finally relaxed imperceptibly at this moment.

Pei Yao stood up and left Fengxuan Palace.

Not long after, the final outcome of this farce spread outside.

Tim Mo plotted to kill a palace concubine and committed the following crime, and was beaten to death with sticks according to palace rules. Although Yun Baolin was an accomplice, he regretted it in time and did not make a big mistake. He also accused the criminal of meritorious service and was exempted from the death penalty. However, the death penalty can be avoided. There is no way to escape the crime of living. From now on, she will be demoted to the lowest class of pickers and banned for life.

Although the Queen did not know the inside story, the incident probably arose because of the Queen's lax control. She was removed from the management of the Sixth Palace, fined half a year's salary, and banned for three months.

When the news spread outside the palace, there was a lot of discussion.

Naturally, few people speculated whether this incident was because the emperor wanted to save the royal face and because of the influence of the Lu family, so he roped in a palace maid to take the blame in order to save the queen.

But then I thought about it, Concubine Zhao is in the spotlight now. If this matter is really the Queen's fault, or in other words, the Queen has done something that can be punished with death, Concubine Zhao will definitely not let it go and will definitely bring down the Queen. .

But no matter what the speculation, it was all a secret discussion. On the surface, Pei Yao had already made the final decision, and no one dared to say anything more.

This can be regarded as a royal scandal, so it is better to talk less about it.

However, after this incident, people in the court gradually began to mention the matter of establishing a prince, and the fourth prince was the one who was recommended the most.

Of course, some mentioned the eldest prince.

After all, the rule is to establish a direct descendant and then a virtuous person.

Pei Yao has carefully observed that these people have nothing to do with Fang Yun or even Concubine Jin. They look more like people who want to curry favor with them through this move.

On the other hand, the Huo family and the Liu family, which are now regarded by outsiders as the center of power of Concubine Zhao, are quiet and have no signs of supporting the crown prince.

Liu Qin devoted himself to the official affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now that he had opened up a new territory, he had a lot of things to take care of. Huo Mingxuan was wholeheartedly preparing for his and Fang Jin's wedding banquet, and wanted to give it to Fang Jin before she was pregnant. Reissued.

Having seen all the situation in the court, Pei Yao became more and more determined.

At the end of October, late autumn and early winter, the weather is sunny.

Pei Yao suddenly decided to take a few princes out of the palace to have a look.

The truth is, the autumn harvest has all ended. This year's harvest has been quite abundant. The granaries are full. It is auspicious to celebrate the harvest. We should worship the heaven and the earth to show our gratitude to God's kindness.

In addition, after Da Qi opened up its territory and expanded its territory, it had not yet paid homage to the imperial tombs and notified the ancestors of the late emperor.

Therefore, during this trip, Pei Yao firstly went to worship his ancestors, and secondly, he went to worship heaven and earth.

Naturally, the ministers had no objection to these two matters.

Therefore, according to the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites, a nearby auspicious day was chosen, and Pei Yao took the civil and military officials and the four princes out of the palace.
