Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

进殿

Sit in front of the dressing table to remove makeup and change clothes.

Shen Yao stretched out her hand and yawned, "I was away last night. Did something happen in the harem?"

Qiuyue looked a little strange when she heard this, "Your Majesty, you were away last night, and the harem palace suddenly summoned the imperial physician.

It's not just one palace that's at risk, it's many palaces, and the most serious of these are the pregnant concubines, some of whom are showing signs of miscarriage."

Miscarriage? That drug is so effective?

Shen Yao raised her head, her hands still on her ears, removing the hanging pearl earrings, "Now, how is the situation?"

Qiuyue shook her head. "It's not optimistic. I heard that more palaces requested the imperial physician in the morning. Except for a few palaces, none of them were at peace."

There were some things Qiuyue hadn't finished saying. Because of the time issue that happened last night, Qiuyue was still worried that Weiyang Palace would be affected. She was so worried that she didn't sleep the whole night.

In the morning, Qiuyue heard from the eunuch that her master had returned from outside the palace early. She was so busy that she was afraid she could fall asleep while standing.

Shen Yao didn't notice Qiuyue's expression. She was still thinking about what happened last night and this morning.

She stood up and walked to the couch and sat down, leaning sideways on the soft pillow that Qiuyue had prepared.

"Have we arranged the personnel?"

"arranged."

"Withdraw everyone. The emperor will conduct a detailed investigation. This matter involves many people. It is inconvenient for us to get involved."

"Yes, the servant understands."

"..."

After a brief conversation between the master and servant, Shen Yao signaled Qiuyue that she could go down and rest.

Shen Yao slept well last night, but she was in a hurry when she left this morning. All the things she bought from outside the palace yesterday were left in the mansion outside the palace and could not be brought into the palace.

Oh, what a pity, there are many gadgets that the children would like. She spent a long time carefully selecting them last night, and she is afraid that she will break her promise again.

Shen Yao had nothing to do and was in no mood to think about these trivial things. However, the other palaces had been in chaos since dark last night.

No one knows what happened. It was just a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, how could it turn out like this?

By the way, it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet. They are all concubines who are attending the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet.

Who is in charge of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? It’s Fengyi Palace and the Queen!

Those who reacted have already set their sights on Fengyi Palace, where there had been no movement, and even suspected whether the Queen had initiated this incident or was tricked into doing it.

As a result, they received the news that Fengyi Palace was hurriedly summoning the imperial physician.

Everyone: ...Okay, the feelings are still there.

He shook his head speechlessly, and everyone's eyes turned back to him again.

Tai Chi Hall

Xiao Yanchen tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes fixed on the piece of thin paper that Wei Zhu had sent back.

Queen?

The queen is crazy. What is her purpose in doing this?

"Wei Zhu, who knows about this?"

Xiao Yanchen finished speaking in a deep voice, and glanced indifferently at the memorials placed on the table.

Those memorials were filled with suggestions that disgusted him.

Ah!

Once the hype wore off, everyone forgot about the pain.

Do you think he won't do it again? How is that possible? Threatening his throne and the stability of Dajing is trampling on his bottom line.

Xiao Yanchen's bottom line was never low, and he had grown stronger over the years, so he was not afraid of these people's threats.

Wei Zhu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have only investigated Fengyi Palace in this matter."

The implication is that, except for the queen, no one else probably knows.

After hearing this, Xiao Yanchen chuckled, "The Queen really gave me a big surprise."

What on earth was he trying to do? He dragged all the concubines in the harem into this mess.

Thinking about what he had talked about with the Queen before, Xiao Yanchen just felt irritated.

You have clearly chosen to give up, so why do you still feel reluctant when the time comes?

It really opened his eyes. For the sake of the family, she could even give up her own son and the throne. He didn't expect the other party to do anything that would surprise him.

"Let's put this matter aside for now." Xiao Yanchen casually threw the memorial in his hand to the corner of the desk, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and gently rubbed his eyebrows. "I want to see how far the queen can go."

With such an unexpected frame-up, who did the Queen want to bring down? Was it Yao'er?

Xiao Yanchen was trying to guess what the queen was thinking, but he didn't know that Wei Jingyi had never thought about Shen Yao at all.

In fact, the emperor and empress had completely different ideas on this matter.

Xiao Yanchen used Wei Jingyi's past style of doing things as a reference and limited it to the concubines in the harem.

This time, Wei Jingyi decided to go big, and her target was the former dynasty.

As for the reason, we have to thank the stupidity of the Wei family. Wei Jingyi used her position as queen this time just to help the Wei family get out smoothly.

But as the saying goes, you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days, let alone the Wei family, who knows what will happen without Wei Jingyi, who can always protect them.

Wei Jingyi was worried that what she was doing was only treating the symptoms and not the root cause, so she decided to go all out and solve the source of the trouble, in order to ensure the survival of the Wei family and the smooth growth of her biological son.

The two Empress Dowagers, and the several princes and aristocratic families behind them, are the targets that Wei Jingyi really wants to attack.

Fengyi Palace

After Wei Jingyi fainted, the palace servants responded quickly. Some called for the imperial physician, some maintained order, and when the person woke up, the palace was still running busily and in an orderly manner.

Wei Jingyi opened her eyes and called for help. She felt a little tired, which was the inevitable reaction after taking the medicine.

"Niang Niang"

"Green Lock"

Wei Jingyi placed her backhand on Qingsuo's forearm and used the other party's strength to stand up.

Seeing that his master was in such a dire condition, Qingsuo was so frightened that he immediately called for the imperial physician.

"No need, I am in good health."

Stopping Qingsuo, Wei Jingyi asked if the emperor had come.

Qingsuo shook his head, his expression visibly disappointed.

Wei Jingyi was open-minded about this, as the emperor would not come at this time.

Based on the capabilities of Taiji Temple, they might have already found out that she was the one who did it.

"It's better that she didn't come," it stopped her from thinking about it and made her face the reality.

Qingsuo was worried, "Empress, are we going too far?"

The action took place at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and was targeted at the entire harem of concubines.

Wei Jingyi leaned on the soft pillow and tried to relax her tired body. "Qingsuo, I won't do this. What will Heng'er do after I leave?"

Leaving a young child without a mother to live alone in the harem, Wei Jingyi felt a pain in her heart without even thinking about it.

Difficult, too difficult.

Seeing this, Qingsuo wanted to persuade his master not to be so decisive. Why did he have to leave the little prince behind? It was clearly not the master's fault.

Wei Jingyi smiled bitterly, "While I still have some affection for the emperor, I will benefit the most if I take the initiative to abdicate now."

Otherwise, I'm afraid nothing will come down.

Your Majesty is, after all, the Emperor of Dajing. How long can I, the daughter of a future criminal, occupy the throne? I am only making wedding dresses for others.

Looking up, Wei Jingyi sighed softly, the emotions in her eyes were so complex that Qingsuo could not understand.

Qingsuo was just a servant and didn't know much. Wei Jingyi even sometimes deliberately concealed things from her.

Seeing that his master had no desire to continue, Qingsuo tactfully helped Wei Jingyi lie down and rest.

"My lady, the imperial physician said that you are weak and need careful care."

As he spoke, he tidied up the quilt on Wei Jingyi and covered her with it.

"Don't worry, the imperial physician is here, and I will be fine."

The curtains on both sides of the bed were drawn, blocking out the light that originally came in.

The dark space makes people feel particularly depressed.

Wei Jingyi suddenly covered her chest as if gasping for breath, half bent her body, like a taut bow, with big beads of sweat dripping down.

After a long time, she suddenly lay down and fell asleep in a daze.

……

A number of people in the harem fell down for unknown reasons, and the disturbance caused was bigger than expected.

Although orders were given early on not to spread the story, rumors were flying around secretly. The version that Qiuyue sent to Shen Yao to entertain her had changed into three versions in just half a day.

Shen Yao:......

What could Shen Yao say? She could only lament that gossip spread quickly and she wondered if the Ministry of Internal Affairs could stop it.

"Master, now even the Queen is ill, and everyone says that this incident was probably done by forces outside the palace."

Qiuyue was peeling the dried fruits brought from the imperial kitchen, peeling them for her master bit by bit.

Qiuyue put the plump and round kernels aside, forming a small handful.

Shen Yao pinched the kernels and put them into her mouth one by one. "Forces outside the palace? The emperor has just cleaned up a group of restless courtiers. Who dares to jump out and stir up trouble at this time?"

Xiao Yanchen today is no longer the same as he was three years ago. Now that he holds great power, he is no longer afraid of anyone.

The several royal relatives who had previously been in power have all been demoted or punished.

These are all the work of Xiao Yanchen.

Shen Yao even suspected that Xiao Yanchen's move was just a quick taste and he didn't enjoy it at all.

The emperor held back because the people from the previous dynasty's aristocratic families were still there.

Qiuyue shook her head, looking innocent, "Master, I just heard other people talking nonsense."

There is no accurate source of information, just all kinds of gossip.

"It's not nonsense, but it's a roundabout way of saying it, maybe it can be linked to something outside the palace."

Over the years, the emperor has been constantly cleaning out the spies in the harem, relying on only a few remaining ones. Those forces outside the palace want to make trouble in the palace, but they are powerless.

But it is very easy for people in the palace to hide the truth.

People in the palace have connections with people outside the palace, so they are all related in many ways.

With a slight smile on her lips, Shen Yao felt that she was a hundred times smarter.

He lowered his head and ate all the nuts that Qiuyue had peeled.

Shen Yao clapped her hands and asked Qiuyue to take care of several children in the next few days.

The two little ones can't walk yet, so it's not a big problem. But the three big ones said, "Don't go to Taiji Hall recently. The emperor may be tired for a while. Ask the kitchen to prepare some soup that the emperor likes to drink and send it to him at a fixed time every day."

The feelings that need to be expressed should be there, and Shen Yao feels that this kind of thing that only requires words should still be done.

Qiuyue nodded in agreement and brought Shen Yao some warm tea.

The tea fragrance was light and fragrant. Shen Yao took a sip and put down the teacup, "Bring me the storybook."

When no one is around, one has to know how to entertain oneself. Instead of wasting time on internal matters, Shen Yao prefers to find things to do.

Life is short, enjoy every day you spend happily. Why disturb your mood with some boring guesses?

Shen Yao hummed a little tune, flipping through the books in her hands, and the light in her eyes flickered, as if the sky was full of stars.

……

Tai Chi Hall

Xiao Yanchen sat behind the desk with a memorial spread out at hand.

The content of the memorial was simple, concerning impeachment, and the person impeached was an important official in the court, Grand Tutor Zheng Yunzheng.

Zheng family!

The maternal family of Empress Dowager Zheng Hongzhuang of the Eastern Palace is also an opponent that Xiao Yanchen has long wanted to attack.

"The Queen sent someone to invite me over?"

Xiao Yanchen's voice was calm and mellow, with no fluctuation in his tone at all.

"In reply to the emperor, Miss Qingsuo who is with the queen came here once at the beginning of the Shen period.

It is said that the Queen has found out the whole story of the poisoning at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Due to my health, I am unable to come to Taiji Palace to report, so I ask Your Majesty to move to Fengyi Palace to understand the situation."

Understand the situation?!

Xiao Yanchen looked at Wei Zhu steadily, ignoring Wei Zhu's lowering waist, he suddenly chuckled, it was interesting.

It was clearly him who caused the trouble, but now he was asked to go to Fengyi Palace to find out the situation.

Could it be that the Queen has found the 'culprit'?

He leaned back and said, "Since the Queen has invited me, there is no reason for me not to go.

Have the servant prepare the sedan chair and send someone to deliver the message. I will be there soon."

When Wei Zhu heard this, he felt as if he had been pardoned.

Turning around and quickly leaving the room, Wei Zhu raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then waved his hand to ask the eunuch beside him to go down quickly and prepare the sedan chair.

"Go to Fengyi Palace again and inform the Empress that the Emperor will leave immediately."

"I understand"

"..."

When an emperor travels, there must be pomp and ceremony.

Xiao Yanchen sat in the sedan chair, tilting his head to think about what the Queen could say to him.

Pleading? Playing the victim? Threatening?

Can't figure it out.

Sometimes, Xiao Yanchen himself doesn’t really understand the Queen.

When he was just a prince, getting married was just an indispensable formality.

It would be a lie to say that Xiao Yanchen had never expected to be on equal terms with his wife.

But it is obvious that Wei Jingyi is not someone Xiao Yanchen can have high hopes for.

Xiao Yanchen was not satisfied with either his background or his style of doing things.

But they had no choice but to go on as the two of them were already tied together with their interests intertwined.

I thought that a hundred years later, the other person's coffin would be buried next to him, whether he was willing or not.

Unexpectedly, the world changes unpredictably, and the emperor and empress gradually drifted apart.

"Getting off the sedan chair"

The sharp singing voice could be heard from far away, and also brought back Xiao Yanchen whose thoughts were drifting away.

The large sedan stopped at the gate of Fengyi Palace. Wei Zhu bowed and whispered, "Your Majesty, we have arrived at Fengyi Palace."

Xiao Yanchen said nothing, but stood up and walked down from the sedan chair.

He was walking in the front, with Wei Zhu and others following not far behind him.

When the palace servants passing by saw the emperor coming in, they all bowed their heads and greeted him.

Walking around the slightly desolate courtyard filled with withered flowers and yellow grass, Xiao Yanchen arrived at the main hall.

creak-

Pushing the door open with one hand, Xiao Yanchen lowered his head and walked in indifferently.
