But she seemed to have something else. I asked her several times but refused to say anything. Later I said I wanted to go to Yin Guifei's sister. I even tried to persuade her for a long time to let her go back to Zhilan Palace, but she didn't say anything and turned around and left. Yes, if I had known this, I should not have allowed her to act recklessly, but should have sent her back by force! "

"You really don't know why she came to Chengxi Palace?" King Yan's eyes were very sharp.

Concubine Rou was confused, "Does the princess have something to hide?"

The veins in King Yan's hand that was holding the armrest popped out, and he spat out every word from between his teeth, "Why did King You and Princess You suddenly enter the palace today?"

Concubine Rou became more and more confused, "Your Majesty, Concubine You has not entered the palace to greet me for several months. Can't she enter the palace? I am only a son like Lao Liu, and it has been a long time since I came to the palace to see my concubine. Isn’t it okay?”

King Yan was so choked that he couldn't get up and down. He was so angry that he almost ran away, "You know that Ling Yue and Princess You can't get along, but you still let Princess You enter the palace?"

Concubine Rou looked in disbelief, "Your Majesty! According to you, as long as Princess Lingyue is still in the palace, Princess You can't step into the palace? If that's the case, why didn't you write a letter to the leader of the Chen Kingdom and change the princess to come and get married? ?

Now that Princess You has entered the royal family tree, can't she even enter the palace to pay her respects to my concubines?If she took the initiative to find Princess Lingyue and caused trouble, you would just reprimand her like this. She obviously didn't do anything. She hadn't entered the palace for a long time and even visited your palace and that of several other sisters. She should have There is no lack of etiquette, but why does it become her fault in your eyes?

Your Majesty, no matter how much you favor Princess Lingyue, you should still be reasonable. If I hadn't felt compassion for the child, the child might not have grown so big. Now I'm just lifting a stone. Smash yourself in the foot? "

"Presumptuous!" King Yan smashed the cup angrily, looking at Concubine Rou as if she wanted to eat someone.

The third concubine was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she also knelt down involuntarily, complaining in her heart. If they had known that this would be the case, they would never have joined in the fun. The furious King Yan was not one to be reasoned with!
Concubine Rou was expressionless as she knelt on the ground and let King Yan scold her. Her expression was calmer than that of the other three concubines.

King Yan was so angry at her reaction that he became dizzy and almost collapsed in Chengxi Palace.

After a moment of panic, King Yan was sent back to Lingxiao Palace.

The bodies of the three concubines softened and they all fell down. They supported each other and managed to steady themselves. Each of them looked at Concubine Rou with fear and jealousy. Looking at the entire harem, this one was the only one who dared to talk to the king like this!

"Well, I have something to do in the palace, so I'll leave first." Concubine De twitched her lips and pretended to be calm before she left.

Xian Shu and others also fled.

Lily seemed to have experienced a big battle, and her whole body was as if she had been fished out of the water. Her hands were dripping with sweat. She knelt down tremblingly and walked to Concubine Rou, "Mother, they are all gone. You can get up."

She wanted to help Concubine Rou, but she found that her legs were weak and she couldn't get up, so Concubine Rou had to hold her up.

"Okay, you all need to clean up and do what you need to do." Concubine Rou yawned and walked straight to the bed.

Lily gritted her teeth, chased after her and asked, "My queen, if you contradict the king like this today, will the king let you also go to the cold palace?"

"No." Concubine Rou said without hesitation: "Do you think that the four major families are just decorations? I dare to make such a fuss, so of course I have support! Concubine Yin will suffer because she has no backing!"

How can the Yin family be compared with the Que family!
Lily breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally put her heart back in her stomach, and listened to Concubine Rou's instructions: "Spread the news about what happened in Chengxi Palace today. The more serious the news, the better. Do it in a concealed manner so that no one can find out." The truth about the rumor." Thanks to the third concubine bringing so many people here today, it gave her inspiration. With so many people, it would take two or three days for King Yan to find out where the rumors came from. Besides, Princess Lingyue's situation is still unclear. Without stability, he might not even have the mind to care about this matter. By the time he reacts, it will be too late.

Under Concubine Rou's careful push, Huang Ye and the others knew what was going on in the palace that night. The couple seemed to be fine, but other aristocratic families couldn't sit still.

Mrs. Pei rubbed her handkerchief angrily and looked at the head of the Que family and his two sons, "Your Majesty has gone too far! To put it bluntly, if the imperial concubine hadn't been soft-hearted and saved Princess Lingyue, would she be as prosperous as she is now? ? How can the king be so unreasonable and vent his anger on others!"

Although she didn't like Princess You either, she had to say that Princess You was really innocent this time. She was shot while she was lying down, but she was shot while hiding. It was really inexplicable.

Que Boyan, the eldest son of Que, nodded, "Mother is absolutely right. The king's move is clearly a slap in the face of the Que family. Father, we cannot sit idly by and ignore this."

"Brother is right, we should contact the other three aristocratic families. We can no longer allow the king to act like this!" Que Zhongliang followed suit with a cold face.

Except for the Ouyang family, the other three aristocratic families are not happy because of the incident between Prince Ping and Prince Ning. If there is a trouble, the Ouyang family will not be able to stay alone.

The head of the Que family listened silently to the family members' suggestions, but refused to express his position. Instead, he asked Pei, "How is Cai Die's situation?"

Pei was stunned for a moment and looked at Que Zhongliang.

Que Zhongliang said: "Father, don't worry. Although my sister's condition is not good yet, it has not worsened. Moreover, she may be less stressed and cheerful outside."

The head of the Que family nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! I'll go see the head of the Lu family and the head of the Feng family."

The next day, King Yan went to court in low spirits. He thought it was just a formality, but as soon as he came up, a minister reported: "Your Majesty, there were urgent reports from Yanshui County and Haixu County yesterday. There have been three cases last month." A merchant ship was robbed and killed by pirates at sea, and the family of the host made a fuss in Yanshui County and Haixu County, but the local county guards had limited troops and had no choice.

The local governor was worried that the pirates were ambitious and might attack the city next, and asked the king to send troops to support them. "

"Your Majesty, there is a flash flood in Luding County. Thirty thousand people in the county have been displaced. Cattle and sheep have suffered heavy losses. Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order for disaster relief."

"There are wild beasts in the king's county, and more than a dozen people have been injured. The local county guard stopped a group of [-] people from entering the mountains to hunt beasts, but more than [-] people were killed and injured. The people are panic-stricken. Please send troops to support the king."

"Kings."

King Yan listened to the endless recital below, and his chest seemed to be burning with a raging fire that could not be vented. He pushed the things on the table violently, "That's enough! Let's talk about everything else together! You guys have agreed to give me to the orphan today." Looking for trouble?"

"I don't dare!" All civil and military officials knelt down.

Taifu Chen said slowly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm looking for trouble, but that several big families have come forward to settle these matters before. Yesterday, the Que family, the Lu family, and the Feng family withdrew their money and their people. I really have no choice. , I can only play it."
