Donggong Zhangjiao

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked towards the door, and saw Pei Yao in a bright yellow dragon robe, walking towards the hall with a gloomy expression, and the queen followed him, frowning.

At this time, Pei Yu was finally feeling a little scared and short of breath, and he withdrew the hand that had just hit the man helplessly, his eyes trembled, and he shrank back.

She originally wanted to lean on her husband Yin Changce, but Yin Changce was more afraid than her, so he plopped down on his knees at this moment.

Pei Yu took a break, and when she turned her head to see her husband's behavior, her eyes revealed disbelief.

When the two of them get along on weekdays, she wholeheartedly thought that Yin Changce was a man of character and responsibility, but when something happened today, she did not expect to be so virtuous.

The filter was broken, and for a while, Pei Yu was also angry and annoyed.

Seeing that she didn't kneel down, Yin Changce was anxious and frightened, so he dragged her to kneel down together, regardless of the look in Pei Yu's eyes that seemed to be eating people.

However, Pei Yao didn't look at the couple, but passed them and went directly to Fang Yun.

At this moment, Fang Yun was supported by Qingrong and Yanwei with a face full of shock, as if he was terribly frightened, and his aggrieved appearance made people feel distressed.

Originally, she was known to be weak, so she was frightened and pretended to be weak, but no one suspected her.

"Your Majesty." Fang Yun looked up at Pei Yao with tears in his eyes.

Qing Rong, who was supporting her, also hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, as soon as Princess Duanrou came, she talked about the sadness of the empress. She said that an accident happened when the empress was pregnant with the fourth prince, which made her wedding more difficult. She said that the empress had something wrong with her. The empress kindly wanted to make up for the princess. The wedding gift, but the princess scolded the empress for being mean and unworthy."

"The empress is really angry, and ordered Yuanhe to ask the princess and the son-in-law to go out to calm down, but the princess not only beat Yuanhe, but also tore up the empress. The empress was weak and couldn't bear to be frightened, so I'm afraid she was frightened!"

When these words came out, Pei Yao also showed annoyance on his face.

Glancing at Pei Yu coldly, he stretched out his hand and pulled Fang Yun in front of him, saying in a deep voice.

"Duan Rou has no respect for elders, and is rebellious and presumptuous. Go back to the Princess Mansion immediately and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!"

Hearing this, Pei Yu wanted to say something to argue, but Yin Changce tugged her hard, and seeing Pei Yao's gloomy and frightening expression, she finally didn't dare to open her mouth again.

Aggrieved, he was pulled down.

But at this time, the empress said softly, "Your Majesty, the concubine is frightened to see Concubine Zhao. She is always weak. Why don't you go to the side hall to rest and ask Imperial Doctor Zeng to have a look."

"Alright, let's go, I will accompany you." Pei Yao nodded.

After that, Fang Yun, accompanied by Pei Yao and the Queen, went to the side hall. In the main hall, everyone did not dare to make mistakes, and honestly went back to their seats to wait.

Concubine Yang was also one of them, but after sitting down for a while, her face was thoughtful.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Si Qi was waiting by her side and asked.

"It's nothing." Concubine Yang lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, "I just feel that Concubine Zhao is not calm today. Although Princess Duanrou has no Sacred Heart, she is so provocative and wants to drive people out of the palace. Is it a bit strange?" She behaves strangely, as if deliberately annoying Princess Duanrou."

After hearing this, Si Qi frowned, "Your Majesty, think too much, servant girl, it's Concubine Zhao who is becoming more and more pampered, and Princess Duanrou is not a good person, she and Concubine Zhao have had a lot of grievances for a long time, the emperor was in danger before he ascended the throne That time he was also involved."

Having said that, he paused and lowered his voice.

"What's more, she keeps grabbing the fourth prince to talk about something. Isn't that poking Concubine Zhao's lungs? Concubine Zhao is also very anxious."

After hearing Si Qi's words, although Yang Shi still had some doubts in her heart, she couldn't think of a reason, so she also nodded.

"I guess that's the way it is. It doesn't matter if she is arrogant. Today, she is very beautiful when she is favored. If she loses favor in the future, she will climb higher and fall even harder."

But Mrs. Yang never imagined that in the side hall at this moment, just as Yuan He closed the door, Fang Yun swept away his weakness just now, and saluted Pei Yao and the queen with a smile.

"The emperor and the empress really came in time. If we delay for a while, the concubine really doesn't know how to continue acting."

"You're smart, the emperor talked to Bengong for a while, and you'll understand, there's nothing wrong with it, but Princess Duanrou's violent outburst just now didn't really hurt you." The queen also had a smile on her face.

Today's situation is about half a month ago.

After the news of the instability in the northern border and the changes in Shangyang Kingdom, Pei Yao cared more about food and grass than the army.

Corrupt officials have killed a few, but those who are easy to be picked out are all small moths.

Those big corrupt officials who are full of oil and water are clean on the face, and they still have to be investigated carefully.

Of course, there are also those who are more greedy, but not clean enough, such as the residence of the Marquis of Jinrong, the current in-law's family of Duanrou Princess Pei Yu.

Before marrying the princess, the Jinrong Marquis Mansion had no real power except for the empty title, because both father and son were prodigal, and the huge Marquis Mansion looked glamorous on the outside, but the inside was rotten.

But marrying a princess is different.

Pei Yu's dowry was half the size of the real princess's dowry, but this amount of money was still a lot of money, and Yin Changce was also a capable person, with this money, he started the money making money business manual labor.

What's the quickest way to get money?
Naturally, it is an illegal way.

Putting loan sharks is such a 'good way'.

At first, she kept it from Pei Yu, but later the husband and wife did it together. Pei Yu's name as a princess is much easier to use than the name of the Marquis of Jinrong who has been down for many years.

No, the couple got married at the end of last year, and it's only been a year now, relying on various illegal businesses, they are making a lot of money.

But you can tell by looking at the brocade clothes the couple are wearing today.

In the past, Pei Yao just ignored it, but now that the treasury is short of money, after such a search, he was found out.

In fact, it wasn't just Pei Yao, the queen's natal Lu family, and Fang Yun's Liu Qin, more or less found something.

But the evidence is not convincing enough, and it is inconvenient to take action against this sister for a while, so we have to arrange someone to go into the mansion to find the evidence, right?
The most convenient ones are naturally broken one by one.

So Pei Yao's order just now was to let Pei Yu go back to the Princess Mansion to contemplate behind closed doors, not the Jinronghou Mansion.

This is what separates the two.

Moreover, Pei Yu's rioting at the New Year's Eve palace banquet today was also an opportunity to plant an opportunity for Pei Yao to do something to her.

Originally it was planned to let the queen come, but the queen felt that her status was a bit higher, and Pei Yu might not dare to go too far, so after much deliberation, she recommended Fang Yun to take on this important task.

That's why Pei Yao took time out of his busy schedule and went to Jiaofang Palace and Yuzhang Palace respectively.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, someone is protecting you, and the concubine is fine."

Fang Yun leaned back to answer, and finally looked at Pei Yao and joked.

"How does the emperor plan to reward the courtiers and concubines? The queen empress sent someone to give the courtiers and concubines some clothes this morning."

Pei Yao also curled his lips, "Reward, reward, the queen gave you the clothing material, then I will reward you with two new sets of jewelry, which are easy to match."

"Then I will thank the emperor." Fang Yun smiled lightly.

The queen said, go to the main hall to entertain the guests first, and then left first.

Pei Yao and Fang Yun were left behind, and they returned to the main hall after Imperial Physician Zeng came over for a cutscene.

With the reputation of being 'frightened', Fang Yun naturally acted delicate and asked Pei Yao to lead him in. But in Wan Lingyi's eyes, this scene was like a needle pricking her.

Even when she was concerned, she said, "Why is the concubine Zhao frightened? Just now when the concubine saw the dispute between the empress and Princess Duanrou, she was not angry and pretentious. I never thought that the empress was so weak."
