Donggong Zhangjiao

Yuzhang Palace.

Pei Yao met with the minister in the royal study room ahead. Fang Yun, on his side, had just returned from paying his respects at Fengxuan Palace.

Lin Chan's arrest has added a lot of topics to today's morning greetings.

It was rare that all the women were not jealous, and they were all discussing the same thing enthusiastically.

Of course, there are also enviable aspects, such as the queen praising Fang Yun.

In fact, Pei Yao had told the queen the inside story of this incident two days ago, and the reason why the queen kept silent was because the matter was not completely over yet.

Now that Lin Chan was arrested and the evidence was conclusive, the queen mentioned Fang Yun's contribution in this matter in front of everyone.

It was one thing for the concubines in the harem to envy Fang Yun for his meritorious service, but what was even more envious was that she could have such a friendship with the emperor, gain the emperor's trust, and secretly do things for the emperor.

This shows that no one can easily match the favor that Concubine Zhao has received.

As for Fang Yun himself, he was sighing in his heart as he accepted the envious looks from others and had to deal with the Queen's faint beating.

In this matter, apart from pleasing Pei Yao, there is really no gain in anything else.

But it's okay, after all, in this harem, the emperor's favor is also the key to survival.

Therefore, after the greetings were over, Fang Yun became concerned about the golden pig as soon as he returned to the palace. Bah, the news of the golden owner.

"The emperor is meeting the ministers in the imperial study. Eunuch Hong interrogated Concubine Yan overnight, probably for this reason." Yuan He reported.

Fang Yun nodded and asked again, "Have you heard any news? Now the outside world only knows that Concubine Yan was hiding in the cold palace and was caught. They don't know anything else."

As soon as she asked, Yuan He knew what she wanted to hear, so he immediately told the news he had found out.

In fact, Concubine Yan had already fled to the cold palace that night when she complained of illness.

When Ah Jin bribed the palace guards on the way out of the palace, he had already discovered that someone was watching the Yin Ning Palace, so he used the trick and pretended not to know, but in fact he had secretly launched a new plan.

If something happens in the palace, Lin Chan must be hunted down. The most dangerous place is the safest, so Ah Jin and Liuli pretend to escape from the palace to attract everyone's attention, so that Lin Chan can safely hide in the cold palace without being caught. people discovered.

Once the matter is over, Lin Chan will have a chance to survive if she escapes from the palace.

After all, of the three masters and servants, only Ah Jin has the skills. It would be difficult for her alone to escort Lin Chan and escape from Da Qi, let alone taking Liuli with her.

So from the very beginning, Ah Jin and Liuli were determined to die.

When Liuli was discovered by the guards, she was looking for something left behind. This was for people to see, because the thing left behind was a banknote. Therefore, after Liuli was arrested, everyone would think that Ajin and Linchan had escaped. , I didn’t bring any transportation, so I had to go out to ask for food and drink, and I couldn’t run far.

This will stimulate the pursuer to put more energy outside the palace in order to catch the person quickly.

Ah Jin was indeed running for her life seriously, but she was being hunted by so many people, so she couldn't escape.

But before she died, other arrangements were made.

She found a person who was paid to do things, and asked him to find a female corpse at the agreed time, burn it on fire, and gave the person something to prove that the burned female corpse was Lin Chan's property.

In this way, it created the illusion that Lin Chan could not escape and finally burned herself to death, allowing Da Qi to give up the pursuit of Lin Chan. In this way, Lin Chan could avoid the limelight and escape from the cold palace as planned, and try to contact Shang Yang along the way. country, quietly returned.

But Ah Jin missed a link. The person who took the money to do things was caught when he set the fire.

Because of the recent arrest of Lin Chan, patrols in the capital have been particularly strict.

However, at that time, the patrol team only regarded the man as a murderer and did not think much about it, but did not report it to his superiors. However, this caused Lin Chan to stay in the cold palace for a few more days, and did not hear the news he wanted for a long time.

Later, people from Jingqian Palace and Yuzhang Palace came to check. Lin Chan panicked and decided to leave the palace first, but she never expected to be caught in the end.

"She has endured the humiliation and bear the burden." Fang Yun said lightly.

Isn't it? In order to complete the plan to assassinate Pei Yao, he did not hesitate to pretend to be Xie, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.

After all, she is also a princess of the same country. Yuan He lowered his eyes, "She has evil intentions and will definitely suffer the consequences."

"But I am curious as to why she wanted to assassinate the emperor." Fang Yun narrowed his eyes, "Logically, she should hate the Lord of Shangyang. The Lord of Shangyang killed her beloved sixth prince Lin Cong, and will also She was sent to a place thousands of miles away to be someone's plaything. Under such circumstances, she would work so hard for Lord Shangyang unless she had some weak spot that was targeted, right?"

When she said this, Qingrong beside her also nodded.

"This slave also wants to say this. Could it be that she regards the emperor as the murderer of the sixth prince of her mother country?"

"I think you have forgotten again. The sixth prince of Shangyang Kingdom was killed when he was captured. It was the crime of Yang Chengyu, the guilty minister, who colluded with the current king of Shangyang Kingdom. This matter has been found out by the public. Concubine Yan is staying in Daqi. How could I not know after such a long time?"

Yanwei retorted.

When she said this, Qingrong suddenly remembered, nodded, and fell into thinking again.

"Okay, don't even think about it." Fang Yun spoke softly, interrupting the thoughts of the two maids, "As for Qiu Baolin, Concubine Yan has been arrested, and she will be dealt with soon."

Although he was being used, being involved in a regicide case like this would cost him most of his life.

"Imprisoned." Yuan He replied, "What Jingqian Palace means is that she is a personal witness. Before this matter comes to a conclusion, she must be kept alive."

Fang Yun nodded and asked no more questions.

It's something to be expected.

Pei Yao came in the evening.

At that time, the fourth prince was holding his little hands behind his back and reciting the article he had learned today to Fang Yun in a decent manner.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, he turned around and saw Pei Yao, and ran over with a smile on his face.

"Son, pay respects to Father Emperor!"

The fourth prince shouted loudly, but his salutes were not very standard.

Pei Yao didn't mind, just reached out and touched his son's head, smiling gently.

"What new article did Ji'er learn today? Can you recite it to your father?"

"No." The fourth prince tilted his head and smiled slyly, "My father wants to talk to his mother and concubine, so I will go find my sister. I will recite it to my father in the imperial study tomorrow."

This appearance made Pei Yao see a miniature version of Fang Yun for a moment, and the smile on his face couldn't help but grow wider.

"Okay, I'll listen to you tomorrow, let's go play!"

"Thank you, Father!"

The fourth prince saluted and ran away again.

Pei Yao smiled helplessly before turning to look at Fang Yun.

"This kid gets more and more lively as he grows up."

"It's a good thing." Fang Yun curled his lips, "It shows that he is innocent and carefree."

Pei Yao nodded with a smile, then took her hand and went to sit down in the room.

"I've been busy all day, so I'd better come here to relax and unwind."

"Now that we have caught the person, there are naturally many things to solve. Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty." Fang Yun held the fan and gently fanned him, "The Emperor doesn't like sour food. I asked someone to make iced mung bean soup. This is Let’s serve some food.”

Pei Yao nodded, "I happen to be thirsty too."

After saying that, after Qingrong went out to serve the soup, he said to Fang Yun in a deep voice.

"Concubine Yan said she wanted to make a deal with me."
