Donggong Zhangjiao

Yichun Palace.

"Isn't there any news over there?"

Concubine Wan was playing with a pot of flowers, pruning the branches with the scissors in her hand, her face looking very happy.

"With that dose, the fifth prince must have been poisoned. However, Fengxuan Palace only said that the fifth prince was weak and weak. He will have to take a leave of absence from school and take good care of his body. From what I see, there should be no problem." Yuetao answered with a smile.

Concubine Wan curled her lips, "I really want to see the queen's desperate look in person. She has devoted so much effort to the fifth prince, and now she can only watch her son live one year, lose one year, and end up with gray hair." How painful it must be to send a black-haired person away. I will not let the fifth prince die immediately. That would be boring. I want to watch the queen being tortured slowly. She will not give in to this and will search for famous doctors. , trying to save her son, but it’s a pity that once the poison attacks, there is no antidote.”

"But I wonder if your Majesty took action too early. As we originally thought, we should take it slowly, for a year, and torture it bit by bit." Yuetao said.

Concubine Wan narrowed her eyes, with a sinister expression on her face.

"Now, I am gaining power due to my brother's contribution. Concubine Zhao is now at odds with the queen because of the matter involving the fourth prince. The emperor is even more alienated from the queen. Taking advantage of the queen's weakness, she took advantage of her. It’s better to finish the matter, it will save you many nights and dreams, and besides, Concubine Zhao has a baby in her belly, I can’t stand it either, why can’t I give birth to them, but they are born one by one, and they all have to die for me!”

Anyway, it is impossible for me to have a biological child, so it doesn't matter who becomes the prince in the future, as long as she is the queen mother, doesn't it matter?

Now in the harem, except the Queen and Concubine Zhao, who can be her opponent.

As long as these two stumbling blocks are removed and her brother returns from a great victory this time, why can't she compete for the position of the mother of the country in the palace?

Ambition flashed in her eyes, and the desire in Concubine Wan's heart grew rapidly like weeds.

For so many years, the queen has occupied the position of Pei Yao's nominal wife, and Fang Yun has occupied all of Pei Yao's favor. Both of these are what she dreams of.

She loves Pei Yao so much, why should she be left out?

Even if Pei Yao gives her dignity and favor now, it is all because of her mother's family. In this case, she will get rid of those who block the way. When these unsightly things are gone, she can get into his eyes. Bar.

The fourth prince, what a good child. If Concubine Zhao and the one in her belly die, the fourth prince who remains will surely be more loved by the emperor. As long as Concubine Zhao dies, she will have the opportunity to raise the fourth prince. So what's impossible about becoming the Queen Mother in the future?

The original Concubine Wan may not have such crazy thoughts, but when she knew that she could no longer have children, all her original expectations and plans were shattered, and this despair forced her to become paranoid.

Of course, Pei Yao didn't know or pay attention to Concubine Wan at the moment. His heart was filled with things about the fifth prince.

Pei Yao feels sorry for his child. Now that he knows that his son is so young, his life will always be fixed at the age of twenty, and he will not have a bright future. As a father, he just feels heartbroken.

But besides being heartbroken, I was even more angry.

The source of the poisoning is not Fengxuan Palace, so we should investigate outside.

All those responsible for feeding the fifth prince were secretly imprisoned and interrogated one by one, as well as those around the fifth prince. This even included the dowries of the two queens, Tian Mo and Min Si.

The queen was in a daze and didn't know what was going on outside. Now that Pei Yao was the one making the decision, he naturally wouldn't miss anyone.

But after interrogating for a long time, no useful information was obtained.

Hong Zheng said that there was still a part that had not yet been examined, and asked Pei Yao to rest first, focusing on the dragon body, but how could Pei Yao sleep and eat at this time.

Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, Pei Yao really lost his appetite. After thinking about it, he got up.

"I'm going to see Concubine Zhao."

When he was upset like this, Fang Yun could always make him feel more at ease by being by his side. Moreover, if something happened to the fifth prince, he was also worried about the safety of Fang Yun and the fourth prince.

Hong Zheng nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.

Not long after, Pei Yao arrived at Yuzhang Palace.

Fang Yun was having dinner. When he heard that he was coming, he immediately got up with his two children and went outside to greet him.

"Your Majesty." "Father."

Mother and son saluted.

Pei Yao didn't look well, but he still tried his best to smile gently, touched the heads of the second princess and the fourth prince, and then stepped forward to hold Fang Yun's hand.

"How do you feel today? Is there anything you feel uncomfortable about?"

"I'm fine, but I don't feel good about the emperor." Fang Yun spoke softly, with worry in his beautiful eyes, "I heard about the fifth prince, but is the emperor worried about the fifth prince? Ji'er was in poor health when he was a child, and I also had trouble sleeping and eating."

Pei Yao did not tell Fang Yun the truth. He just sighed and nodded.

"Xu'er looks healthy, but he didn't expect that it would be scary to be sick. He should cultivate for a while and go to school after he recovers."

"This is exactly the reason. No matter how important schoolwork is, it is not as important as a child's body." Fang Yun nodded.

The second princess also said sensibly at this moment, "The fifth brother is sick, and my daughter wants to see him. Can father take us there? The mother and concubine are pregnant with the little brother. Doctor Zeng said that we should rest in the house and avoid going out."

"Yes, the fifth brother likes Er Chen's slingshot very much. Er Chen gave it to him. He will be happy to see it and his illness will heal faster!" the fourth prince also said seriously.

Children of this age will not be bad as long as their parents guide them correctly.

Although Fang Yun knew that the relationship between the fourth prince and the fifth prince would be sensitive in the future, he never guided him to regard the fifth prince as his enemy. Instead, he taught him to be a good brother and act on his own. Right.

So at this time, both children are sincere.

Pei Yao looked at the three of them, mother and son, and felt extremely happy. He felt that Yuzhang Palace was really one of the few pure lands in the palace.

Xuan Jiye said softly to the two children.

"Okay, my father will take you to see your fifth brother, but he will have to go there in two days. He is not in good spirits right now. Let him rest for two days first."

The two children nodded in agreement.

That night, Pei Yao stayed at Yuzhang Palace.

Staying here can make him feel calmer. After all, the previous court was focused on the war, and there was such chaos in the harem, so he would naturally feel irritable.

After getting up the next day, Pei Yao went to Fengxuan Palace to see the fifth prince before going to court.

In the court, Prime Minister Lu still asked about the harem.

He is a veteran minister and a national warrior, so he can naturally care about his grandson.

Pei Yao thought for a while and decided to keep the details of the fifth prince's body secret for the time being.

He planned to find out the results of this matter himself and then decide how to deal with it.

If Prime Minister Lu knew about it and intervened in this matter, things would probably change again.

Although the war in the north is going well now, it is best for the DPRK and China to remain stable and avoid turmoil and not affect the front line.
