Chapter 479 Pregnancy (1)
Yimeng shook her head again, "If it's such an important matter, the eldest son will not tell me." After saying that, she lowered her head and said bitterly, "In the eyes of the eldest son, slaves are not considered confidants. It's just the eldest son's pet."

"The eldest son still has heart for you. Don't belittle yourself too much." Liu side concubine said, "Now the princess, the second son, and the lady of Zhongyonghou's mansion are all safe, and no one else was injured or injured. I just hope that this It is fine if the matter is not done by the eldest son. Otherwise, the emperor will investigate thoroughly, and if the eldest son did it, then we are all finished."

Yimeng's face was also stained with worry, and she nodded.

Every mansion in Beijing has its own troubles, and the imperial palace is also disturbed by this fire.

Compared with the Queen and Qin Lian who have been following the trend of Fafo Temple in the Queen's Palace, and Qin Yu who said that he will come back, which made the Palace very happy, Yicui Palace and Yufu Palace are not so happy.The reason is that when the news came back, the emperor spat out that he was going to order the fourth prince, Qin Yu, to return to Beijing.

Everyone knew that the next successors to the throne would definitely be these adult princes.

Apart from the fourth prince, Qin Yu, the third and fifth princes are the adult princes who are powerful and have relatives who support their mother's background.

Although the third prince had his own disputes, in front of the fourth prince, the fourth prince was definitely their common enemy.

Therefore, now that Qin Yu is going back to Beijing, the first people who feel threatened must be the third and fifth princes.

The harem has always involved the court. Similarly, the saying that a mother is more expensive than a child has always been an old saying that never goes out of date.

Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen naturally couldn't do it.So, after braving the heavy rain to exchange information, the two gathered together in Yicui Palace to discuss how to prevent Qin Yu from returning to the capital.

In the end, they reached an agreement, and the two teamed up to immediately send someone to intercept the checkpoint on the only way to Mobei. No matter what method is used, even if the boat is broken, no matter what the cost, the fourth prince must be killed on the road and intercepted. He returns to Beijing.

At that time, after the two reached an agreement, they issued an order in unison, which was sent back to their natal homes in the rain.

Ever since Qin Lian reminded the queen, she ordered people to keep an eye on the movement in the palace, especially the movement of Yufu Palace and Yicui Palace. When she learned that those two people gathered together, she knew without thinking that they were discussing to stop the four The prince's return to Beijing.The queen sneered, and said to the capable little eunuch, "Send someone to watch over the person who sent them the message outside the palace. Don't startle the snake, let them pass the message. I want to see what the Liu family and the Shen family will send out." How many people went to intercept and kill Yu'er, this time, I will definitely hurt the vitality of the Liu family and the Shen family, so that those people will never return. In the future, the Liu family and the Shen family will have no power, and the two concubine Liu and Concubine Shen The bitch is no longer able to stop my Yu'er from inheriting the throne."

The little eunuch got the Queen's order, took the order, and immediately left Fengluan Palace.

That day, it was raining, and the emperor and others hadn't returned to the capital, but the lord of the palace and the favorite concubines of the two palaces had already started fighting.

When the emperor arranged the matter of the Fafo Temple and set off to return to Beijing, the palace and other high-ranking mansions also received news of the emperor's return to Beijing.

After discussing with his wife, Marquis Yongkang braved the rain and went to the North City Gate to wait for the emperor.They wanted to plead guilty to the emperor in advance as soon as the emperor entered the city gate.

After the queen in the palace got the news, she smiled and said to Qin Lian, "The Marquis of Yongkang has been able to stand for more than 200 years. After the Emperor Taizu conquered the world, he was later named a hereditary marquis. After several generations of emperors, the Marquis of Yongkang is still standing. There is also the way of establishing the world of the Yongkang Hou Mansion in the middle."

"It's really hateful! Could it be that Uncle Huang will spare him lightly?" Qin Lian gritted his teeth.

"It's raining outside now, and the rumors about Miss Zhongyonghou's Mansion have changed again. The Holy Spirit protects her body, and Gods and Buddhas bless her. Although the Yongkang Houfu took the opportunity to slander her, it can be regarded as no harm. The rumors , It can be big or small." The queen patted Qin Lian's hand, "If the Yongkang Houfu only did this one thing, then what if the emperor spared her lightly? Even if it's serious, it's not too serious If he did more than this, then even if Marquis Yongkang took his wife to the city gate to plead guilty to the emperor, the emperor would not just say that he would be spared. Prince Ying's Mansion and Zhongyonghou Mansion won't do it."

Qin Lian nodded, frowned and asked the little eunuch, "My mother, brother and future sister-in-law didn't return to Beijing? Where did they go?"

"Returning to the princess, it is said that Cui Lao doesn't like the capital, so Xie Shizi took him to the other garden. The princess, the second son Zheng, and Miss Fanghua also went." The little eunuch replied.

"Who is Mr. Cui?" Qin Lian wondered.

"Your servant forgot to tell you. Mr. Cui was the Patriarch of the Cui Clan in Boling, the father of the late wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong." The little eunuch reported, "Mr. Cui just returned to Beijing today, just in time for the Fafo Temple to catch fire. Then I followed the emperor and Xie Shizi to Fafo Temple."

"You're talking about Cui Jing who ran away from home and practiced Taoism for nearly 20 years?" The queen was taken aback.

"It's him." The little eunuch nodded.

The queen was stunned for a moment, then said, "He is back."

"Aunt Huang, do you know him?" Qin Lian was puzzled.

The queen nodded and sighed, "Back then, the Cui family of Boling and the Cui family of Qinghe were the two great families with the surname Cui. Cui Zijing of the family is your mother who married Prince Ying Qin Huang is your father. The marriage of these two great families balances the Xie family and the royal family. Later, shortly after the emperor ascended the throne, the old lady of the Boling Cui family left, and Cui Jing met A Taoist priest who traveled to the Southern Qin Dynasty had nothing to love, so he abandoned his home and practiced Taoism. Not long after he left, both Xie Ying and Cui Yuwan died. Mobei guarded the border. Since then, the Boling Cui family has withdrawn from the circle of nobles in Beijing and faded out of people's sight."

"Why is he back now?" Qin Lian was puzzled.

"I'm also puzzled!" The queen looked at the little eunuch, "Why did he come back? Have you found out?"

"It is said that he set up a gossip stargazing array with a friend on Qingyun Mountain, and happened to glimpse the celestial phenomena in the capital city of Nanqin. The stars in Nanqin shifted and turned, and the sea of ​​stars criss-crossed. At that time, I only comprehended the first half of the star hexagrams, and the Taoism was too shallow, so I didn't understand the second half of the star hexagrams. So, I set off and came back for a walk." The little eunuch reported.

"So it is!" The queen nodded.

"Is it so wonderful? Aunt Huang, I must meet her when the time comes. Although I don't like monks, I like people who practice Taoism." Qin Lian said.

The queen smiled, "If he doesn't come into the capital now, you won't be able to see him even if you want to."

"Then I'll go find him." Qin Lian said.
