Donggong Zhangjiao

Looking at the intercepted letter in his hand, Pei Yao never showed any joy on his face.

Pass the letter to Lu Chuan next to him.

The latter looked at it, and frowned with a complicated expression, and then said in a low voice.

"What is your Highness going to do, expose it now?"

"What does father-in-law mean?"

Pei Yao looked up at him, but the chill on his face seemed to have an answer.

Lu Chuan also had a trace of cruelty in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to kill people with a knife, and then catch them all in one go. It's so safe that there will be no future troubles. After all, the Emperor and Prince Ming are biological father and son, so it is inevitable that they will not be able to kill."

"Gu's intentions are the same as those of his father-in-law." A sneer appeared on Pei Yao's lips.

After the discussion, Lu Chuan left from the study in the East Palace.

On Pei Yao's side, he changed his clothes and went to Biluozhai.

These days, he was a little worried about Xia Yun, so he came whenever he was free.

It was almost lunch time when I came here today, and when I entered the yard, I saw Fang Yun sitting on the porch, watching the second girl and the little fox playing in the yard.

Seeing Pei Yao coming, Fang Jun smiled and helped Yan Wei's hand to stand up, Shi Shiran saluted.

"Your Highness."

"No." Pei Yao raised a gentle arc on his lips, and stepped forward to help her, "How's your appetite this morning, can you eat?"

After returning to the palace, Fang Yun began to feel a little sick, maybe it was some kind of food, he felt sick for a while, he couldn't eat fish today, maybe he couldn't eat mutton tomorrow.

There is no certainty.

Fang Yun dragged him into the room, nodding as he walked.

"I drank two bowls of porridge in the morning, and I still have a good appetite. I think it will be fine if the dishes are light and less oily. Why is your highness coming here now? Are you finished?"

"Yeah." Pei Yao nodded, "I intercepted some secret letters, your cousin has merit, and she stole one of them quietly."

After King Ming was grounded, he was irritable. Fang Ci'en was favored these days, and he pretended to be gentle and soft-tempered. He was the only person in the back house who could get close to King Ming.

When delivering the snacks, he discovered the place where King Ming hid the letters, so he took the opportunity to steal them out.

Fang Yun nodded after listening, "Ci'en is careful and bold. Although she is young, she is very capable."

After boasting, he continued, "My concubine communicated with Fang's mansion, and it said that Ci'en's mother had died of illness and was sent out of the mansion for burial. Your Highness is busy with King Ming's affairs during this period, is there any arrangement?"

"Don't worry, I prepared things early in the morning." Pei Yao nodded.

This death was just a fake death, the purpose was to help Fang Ci'en get rid of the Fang family's control.

"In this case, after a while, it's time to arrange for their mother and daughter to meet." Fang Yun said softly.

Pei Yao led her to sit down, "I know what's in my heart, you just need to rest assured, these days, you should take care of your pregnancy, and there will be a good show in a few days."

Hearing what he said, Fang Yun guessed a little bit in his heart, smiled, and didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them finished their lunch, and Pei Yao took a light sleep for half an hour in Bi Luo Zhai before leaving.

When the other female relatives in the backyard heard about this, they also secretly had different thoughts.

But there are also those who have obvious intentions, and must say Xu Shuren, Xu Xin'er.

If you don't mention it, everyone may forget about this person, and Pei Yao is the same.

For using public opinion to force him to take him back into the concubine's room, Pei Yao didn't like it at all, but he couldn't hold back Xu Xiner's passionate love.

Now the three newcomers to the palace, Hu Liangdi and Xie Shuren have all gone to bed, only she hasn't.

After finally waiting for the prince to return to the palace, but still ignoring it, Xu Xiner was also in a hurry.

After thinking about it for a while, he actually brazenly asked the princess directly, and brought out the argument that the concubine wanted to arrange a concubine's room for the lord to sleep in.

All I had to do was tell the princess clearly, cousin, please arrange for me to serve the prince.

Rao was from everyone, the always good-tempered Crown Princess couldn't bear it this time, and reprimanded Xu Xiner severely.

Unexpectedly, her cousin who had always treated her well would treat her like this. Xu Xiner was also aggrieved, and ran back to her residence from Wutong Garden crying.

And the Qiushuangzhai where she lived was remote, and it took a long time to walk all the way back. She cried and went back here, and was inevitably seen by many people.

It didn't take long for Xu Xiner's scandal to spread throughout the back house.

When Concubine Yang heard about it, she laughed.

"Stupid, but I didn't expect the Crown Princess to treat her direct cousin so equally, or is it that her jealousy is hidden deep and she only shows a little bit to her own cousin?"

"If the side concubine wants to try it, isn't Biluozhai a ready-made target?" Yun Qian whispered.

Yang closed her eyes, and shook her head, "Fang is cautious, not easy to attack, I think that Hu is pretty good, but Xie Shu is not very smart, she can be used."

"Isn't it all in the side concubine's wish to choose who?" Yun Qian smiled.

There was a trace of sternness in Yang's hooked eyes.

"They laughed at me for giving birth to a sick child, but I laughed at them that they couldn't even give birth to a sick child. Your Highness still has a long way to go. People in our big yard still have a lot of fights."

Pei Yao didn't know that in his back house, some women were still scheming and plotting for that little bit of favor and power, and he was closely watching King Ming's movements.

News soon came from King Dun, explaining that the king really contacted the two so-called real people who practiced alchemy.

As for what was said, it is still unknown.

But what we can know is that the next day, two Taoist priests brought the newly refined elixir called Yujin Pill into the palace and presented it to Emperor Chengjing.

It is said that this elixir is more useful than the previous Huanyan elixir, it not only prolongs life, but also maintains one's appearance and slows down aging.

Emperor Chengjing was naturally happy.

Not only did he reward those two old Taoist priests generously, but he also took the newly refined Royal Golden Pill that day.

Emperor Chengjing was obsessed with cultivating the Dao Fu Dan, these things were known throughout the court, but no one took it to heart.

But he didn't expect that after taking this new elixir for only five or six days, when Emperor Chengjing woke up one morning to go to court, he suddenly fell heavily on the ground and passed out on the spot.

Full of uproar.

King Ming was grounded in the mansion, and the queen in the harem was also grounded. At this moment, it is Pei Yao who is in charge of the overall situation.

When the imperial physician arrived, Pei Yao, King Dun, the two princesses, as well as the royal family and several important ministers of the court also rushed to Emperor Chengjing's bedroom.

At that time, King Dun's biological mother, Chen Guifei, was also guarding in the palace with all the concubines.

"Imperial concubine, how is the uncle?" Pei Yao asked with a frown.

Concubine Chen Gui frowned, "The imperial doctor is treating her, and she said that she has Qi and blood stagnation, and she fell again and again. I'm afraid the situation is a bit tricky. The prince should go in and have a look."

Pei Yao nodded, but before he left, the third princess next to him suddenly squeezed him away and ran in first.

"Father, why did you get sick when you were in good condition? How did you slaves take care of it? Did no one check your father's daily diet? How could you suffer from Qi and blood stasis!"

Seeing the anxious and angry look of the third princess, Pei Yao's eyes were only cold.

Seeing that she had finished yelling, she said in a low voice, "The imperial physician is treating you, Third Sister, don't disturb the peace by yelling."

"Father is like this, is the prince not in a hurry? Or do you just want to see father like this?!" The third princess immediately questioned Pei Yao as if she had caught some trick of Pei Yao.

King Dun immediately reprimanded, "Third Sister, speak carefully!"

"I'm just wondering, what's the hurry, Brother Dun?" The third princess snorted softly.

Seeing her like this, Pei Yao chuckled, "What exactly do you want to say, just say it."
