Two major events have recently occurred in the court.
The first thing is naturally that the new emperor ascended the throne, and the court has undergone a wave of blood changes. Among them, the mansion of Duke Anguo is the most prominent. During the time of the first emperor, he married his most beloved sister, Princess Sui'an, to Duke Anguo. An Ning needs the Duke of An to defend it, but the son-in-law is not allowed to get involved in political affairs, so Princess Sui'an married the Duke of An as his wife instead of being called a son-in-law.
Because the Duke of Anguo's mansion firmly stood in line in the prince's battle for succession and was loyal to the crown prince, the prince succeeded in succeeding to the throne, and the status of the Duke of Anguo's mansion will be raised to a higher level.
The second matter is quite insignificant in comparison. Concubine Xuan, who was a favorite during the late Emperor's time, actually went with her after the late Emperor's death.
Speaking of Concubine Xuan, at the beginning it really overshadowed the empress dowager's limelight. The love story between her and the first emperor was widely circulated. In the story books, or with storytellers, and on the stage, two characters are often performed. The love story of human beings, but the light of death is extinguished, and now Concubine Xuan voluntarily died for the late emperor, which can be regarded as a successful conclusion to this story, which is embarrassing.
In the imperial palace, in a magnificent and luxurious palace, a woman in court clothes fell to the ground, with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, but she still opened her eyes and looked at the tall woman in front of her. , After all, I still don't let her go.
After about a quarter of an hour, the nurse next to the queen mother stepped forward to test the woman's breath, but she could not feel it anymore. The nurse reached out and closed the woman's beautiful eyes, and returned to the queen mother, "Mother queen mother, I'm gone!" .”
"Then go back to the palace." The queen mother glanced contemptuously at the silent woman. After being suppressed by her for so many years, the winner is the one who survives in the end. Concubine Xuan Fu Yi, take your love to see the first emperor .
The empress dowager's long guard of honor went away, and suddenly there was a noise in the empty palace, and there was a slight "click" sound. Under the main seat in the main hall, a child unexpectedly emerged, who looked no more than 15 years old.
The boy crawled out in a daze, and ran to the woman in palace costume, shaking in disbelief, "Sister——"
But no one would reply, "Prayer".
Fu Qi's elder sister's advice sounded in Fu Qi's ears, "Qi'er, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Pang Shi ascended to the position of queen mother, so I can't accommodate me. Remember to keep the maple and elm box that my sister gave you. When you grow up, Know everything."
When Fu Qi's crying was about to be uncontrollable, someone suddenly covered his mouth. He opened his eyes wide and looked over. It was Fu Shiyi, the guard beside her sister.
In order to commemorate Concubine Xuan's innocent heart, Concubine Xuan's funeral was very grand. Every day, there would be court ladies and eunuchs crying, and there was only one talisman, which stood beside Concubine Xuan's coffin day and night, silently watching , I could occasionally hear the eunuch's advice, "Isn't that the younger brother brought into the palace by Concubine Xuangui? I heard that he is only 14 years old, what should I do in the future?"
"Your Majesty has a decree. To commemorate the heart of Concubine Xuangui, his younger brother can still live in the palace and enjoy the treatment of a prince."
"Your Majesty is merciful—"
It has been a year since Ye Xingze came to this world.
At the moment, he is standing outside the Hall of Qinzheng, waiting for the emperor to summon him.
When he came here, he had just caught up with the late emperor's death. As the late emperor's nephew, he had to observe filial piety for a year, which just happened to let him get acquainted with this dynasty.
This dynasty is not in his memory, and the customs and culture in it are somewhat different from those he knows. Fortunately, it is not the first time for him to travel through time, and his acting skills are not bad, otherwise he would have to show flaws.
The protagonist of the story this time is from a minority called Yuanchi. His parents died shortly after he was born. He was taken into the palace by his sister who had become a concubine. He lived in the palace for ten years, and his sister also passed away.
He can leave, Fu Yi has brought a lot of glory to the Yuan Chi Clan, if he goes back, the clan will treat him kindly, but he chooses to stay.
On the one hand, his elder sister said to the outside world that she died in love with the late emperor. In order to show the emperor's filial piety, the emperor wanted to keep him in the palace, so that he could have the reputation of the royal family; on the other hand, he witnessed the real cause of his sister's death. To avenge my sister.
Therefore, Fu Qi stayed in the palace with an embarrassing identity.
Ye Xingze holds the plot in his hand, of course he knows Fu Qi's hatred well, but he is thinking about another thing now.
He wanted to test it out, what if he didn't take the initiative to approach the task object?
what will happen?
It just so happens that this is ancient times, Fu Qi was raised in the harem, and as a foreigner, he cannot enter and leave the harem at will. If it is to complete the task, then he can think of a way, and of course he can see it, but now he thinks very clearly, he has already It's not as simple as just completing tasks.
Ye Xingze looked at the tall buildings in the distance with an unpredictable expression.
The eunuch next to His Majesty, Zhou Dao, Eunuch Zhou, came out and asked Ye Xingze to come in, "My lord, Your Majesty is waiting inside."
Ye Xingze withdrew his messy thoughts and followed Eunuch Zhou in.
The young man in the bright yellow uniform with the dragon pattern turned his back to the gate of the palace. Eunuch Zhou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest son is here."
Ye Xingze cupped his hands, "Your Majesty."
"Zi Zhan!" The emperor turned around, and when he saw Ye Xingze, he was very happy, and walked out from the table quickly, and he could see his intimacy while talking, "I haven't seen you for a year, so don't be formal, just call me cousin like before. Okay, I wonder how my aunt is doing recently?"
The emperor has just turned eighteen this year, and he is at the age of high spirits. He looks quite handsome, with deep eye sockets, and he already has the majesty of an emperor.
"Mother is all well." Ye Xingze was born in the mansion of Duke An, but he is more elegant and chic than the general An Guogong. The original owner and the emperor have a good personal relationship. They were classmates when they were young. During the seizure of the heir apparent, Duke Anguo's mansion was only loyal to the emperor, and was loyal to the crown prince after he became a heir. Therefore, the relationship between the two is truly close.
"Now that your filial piety period has passed, it's time to come back and help me," the emperor sighed, and handed Ye Xingze the folder in his hand without any concealment, "Pang's power is so powerful now, it's giving me a headache."
The Pang family is the mother's family of the Empress Dowager Pang. After the new emperor ascended the throne, because of the Empress Dowager's reason, her power gradually increased, and her subordinates accounted for half of the court. There are more than ten thousand people, but they still don't know how to restrain themselves. Relying on the fact that the emperor is the son of the Queen Mother Pang, he acts recklessly in central Beijing.
The emperor waved his hand, and a young eunuch moved a chair for Ye Xingze, "If the military power was not controlled by my uncle, my position would be even more unstable."
The emperor disregarded the etiquette, not only did not call himself "Zhen", but also affectionately called aunt and uncle in words. The closeness between the emperor and the government of Anguo is evident.
"The things mentioned here are all trivial, not to mention the impeachment of the Pang family, but even a branch of the Pang family will not be damaged," Ye Xingze flipped through the book, and said, "If you don't want to impeach the Pang family, it won't hurt even a single branch of the Pang family." In addition to the Queen Mother, if my cousin is punished for these things, he will be charged with another crime of unfilial piety."
"I don't know," the emperor said halfway, suddenly pale and short of breath, "Hiss—"
"Headache again?" Ye Xingze asked with concern, this is a problem that the emperor had since he was a child, he would always have a splitting headache from time to time, there is no pattern, and there is no way to treat it.
The queen guarding the door listened to the emperor's movements, and came in one after another to serve him.
"It's okay, it's okay this time, you go back first, we'll talk about the matter just discussed next time," the emperor waved his hand, and just as Ye Xingze was about to step back, he heard the emperor say again, "By the way, my aunt asked me to look for it earlier." I found that "Picture of Cold Trees at Evening", it's in my bedroom, Zhou Dao, "
Eunuch Zhou, who was waiting on the sidelines, responded immediately, and bowed to listen to the emperor's instructions, "You take Ye Shizi to my bedroom to pick it up. In addition, there are several inkstones that Xijiang paid tribute to before. You always bring him whatever Ye Shizi likes. "
"Yes!" Eunuch Zhou replied immediately, and walked to Ye Xingze's side, "My lord, please follow me here."
Ye Xingze cupped his hands, and left with Eunuch Zhou. The Hall of Qinzheng is not far from the Hall of Wenxin, and he arrived in a short while. Ye Xingze brought the "Picture of Cold Trees at Evening", and picked out two inkstones, without looking around After rummaging around, he left with Eunuch Zhou.
Speaking of which, Ye Xingze can also be considered a descendant of the royal family. When the late emperor was around, the original owner often came to the harem. On the only way to Tiandi Temple, Ye Xingze said, "Eunuch Zhou, can you allow me to go to Tiandi Temple? I want to see the emperor's uncle and grandmother."
"Of course you can. Please come here, sir." Eunuch Zhou said. He has served His Majesty since he was a child, and he can figure out His Majesty's thoughts. Zhou Dao is familiar with this son, it is reasonable for him to want to pay homage to the Temple of Heaven and Earth, and His Majesty will surely allow it.
Ye Xingze didn't look sideways, but took a look inside when he passed by Tingyutang. The door was closed and he couldn't see what was going on inside. Ye Xingze asked casually, "Eunuch Zhou, who lives in Tingyutang?"
"My son, do you still remember that Concubine Xuan?" This matter is not considered private, and even in order to show the demeanor of the Tian family, His Majesty deliberately spread it to others, so it's okay to talk about it, "The one who lives here is Xuan The younger brother of the imperial concubine, Mr. Fu Qi."
"Oh, I got it." Ye Xingze made a look of sudden realization, "How old is this Mr. Fu Qi? Has he moved out of the palace? I don't think there are people in the Tingyutang."
"Mr. Fu Qi is only fifteen, and he will only be able to move out of the palace next year." Zhou Dao also took a look, the door was closed, and the creepers on the wall covered the entire wall, it really looked like no one lived there, "Probably Mr. Fu Qi is resting, I heard that his health has not been very good, and he has not seen people all year round."
What Eunuch Zhou said was cryptic, and the implication was that Fu Qi's status in the palace was awkward, and it was because of this that he didn't see anyone all year round.
Ye Xingze responded, thinking that he probably won't be able to see him today, so he will look for opportunities in the future. When he thought of this, he just passed by the entrance of Ting Yu Tang. There seemed to be a fight, and before he could tell Eunuch Zhou, he kicked open the door and rushed in.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of fighting inside became clearer. Ye Xingze rushed in first, and saw two people fighting. When the light that belonged to Fu Qi lit up, Ye Xingze flew up to protect Fu Qi, and kicked the other one away. The man in black, Ye Xingze used his finger as a blade, and slashed hard at the right shoulder of the man in black who was attacking again. He stumbled and fled.
However, Ye Xingze noticed that the man in black deliberately withdrew his strength, because with the man in black's skill, it is impossible for Eunuch Zhou to stagger when he bumped into an eunuch.
Fu Qi was already sitting on the bed, covering his heart with one hand, staring at Ye Xingze who rushed in with a pale face. He was dressed in a moon-white robe with a black belt around his waist, and only a jade pendant hung on it. The posture just now was crisp and neat, like a powerful light falling into this simple bedroom. When standing there, he didn't see the fierceness when he just used force, but only the noble temperament of Zhilan Yushu, which is incompatible with this bedroom.
Fu Qi seems to understand a little bit, her sister once described how she felt when she first met the late emperor.
Eunuch Zhou chased him in, awakening the dazed Fu Qi, and the pale young man quietly retracted the Gu worm, which could kill instantly, into his sleeve.
"This—" Zhou Dao was in a panic. Even in the period when he was walking on thin ice, he had never seen such a sword, light and sword, and he panicked for a while.
"Eunuch Zhou, go and report to His Majesty, I will stay here to prevent the man in black from returning." Ye Xingze reminded.
"Yes, I have to report to His Majesty, then there will be Lord Lao Shi here." Zhou Dao hurriedly left after saluting.
Ye Xingze only had time to look at Fu Qi sitting on the bed.
Sure enough, as mentioned in the plot, he is a foreign boy with big eyes, a straight nose, and slightly curly hair. Because of his frail body, his complexion is pale, and because of the consumption just now, there is a trace of uncoordinated blood on his pale face.
"Is Master Fu Qi injured?" Ye Xingze asked after noticing Fu Qi's right hand that was always behind his back.
"Nothing." Fu Qi's eyes were a little wary, his voice was also weak, and he said slowly, "Thank you for your help, may I ask you?"
"Ye Xingze of An Guogong's mansion, the name is Zizhan," Ye Xingze cupped his hands, "Don't be nervous, my lord. I won't leave here until Eunuch Zhou comes back."
"Well——" Fu Qi seemed to want to say something, but suddenly his eyes blurred, and he passed out.
When he woke up again, he was already lying on the bed with his coat off. There was an imperial physician beside the bed who was about to check his pulse. The father-in-law he had seen before was standing behind the imperial physician, while the man named Ye Xingze was gone.
"Your Majesty Fu Qi, are you awake?" Zhou Nanfeng's exclusive father-in-law took a step forward, and the eunuch's voice sounded, "This is Imperial Physician Wei. I have ordered your pulse from His Majesty. In addition, Your Majesty is worried about your safety, so he came from the palace specially." A team from the imperial army has been dispatched to protect your safety, as for the assassin, His Majesty has also sent someone to investigate, and His Majesty has also rewarded some supplements, which have been put into your warehouse here."
It is said to be a warehouse, but it is actually a room that no one lives in.
Fu Qi nodded, "Thank you Your Majesty, I am the one who caused trouble."
But his eyes were looking around, and after a while, he pursed his lips and said, "Where's that person?"
"Who?" Eunuch Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized, "You mean the son of the world? It's getting late, and he has already left the palace."
"Shizi?" Fu Qi repeated, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just oh.
Naturally, the imperial physician couldn't diagnose anything, and in the end he only said that it was a natural deficiency, and he had to take good care of it, so he withdrew.
After the father-in-law and the imperial physician left, a person jumped off the roof and knelt down in front of Fu Qi, "My lord, I am the one who failed to protect the lord!"
"Get up, I sent you out, no wonder you," Fu Qi sat up and signaled Fu Shishi to get up, his eyes were cold, "Have you got in touch with the clan? Is there any news about the key?"
"We got in touch. The clan only said that it belonged to Miss Fu Yi, and they will send someone to find it in Miss Fu Yi's room. It will take some time." Fu Shiyi replied in a low voice.
"Miss Fu Yi..." Fu Qi lowered his head and stared at the group blessing pattern on the quilt. This is the case of the Yuan Chi clan. Female, the tablet after death cannot be enshrined in the saint's shrine in the clan.
When his sister was alive, he was still young and didn't understand these things. Later, when his sister went away and Fu Shiyi came to him, Fu Qi realized how sad the phrase "Miss Fu Yi" is. My sister gave everything for the clan. In the end, he couldn't enter the Saintess Shrine.
"This is what I got from the man in black today, you go check it out," Fu Qi handed Fu Shiyi a token with a strange symbol on it, "the emperor must not be able to find anything." , just going through the motions, not serious, you go and find out about this matter."
"Also, check one more person for me."
Three days later, Ye Xingze was transferred to Yushitai. He knew in his heart that it was the emperor who made it easier for him to keep an eye on the Pang family.
But the emperor was a little bored, and invited him to play chess, regardless of winning or losing, just to kill some time.
"Cousin, what happened to the man in black who broke into the harem a few days ago?" Ye Xingze asked casually, without asking about Fu Qi.
"It doesn't matter. Speaking of it, thank you for what happened that day," the emperor considered and dropped his son, "Concubine Xuangui followed my father, if her younger brother died in the palace, it would damage my royal reputation." .”
"It's just a coincidence, but cousin, when I went in yesterday, I saw that the bedroom was a bit shabby. Cousin, since you want to treat him kindly, I think you should do it right, and you can't make people feel resentful." Ye Xingze thought of that Poor dormitory, suggested.
"I told the queen yesterday what you said, and he will pay attention." The emperor said casually.
More than half of the chess game had already been played, when Eunuch Zhou came in suddenly, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager heard that Ye Shizi is here, and sent someone here, saying that she hadn't seen Ye Shizi for a long time, and wanted to see him."
Ye Xingze stopped holding the chess piece, raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and just happened to meet the emperor's gaze, then put down the chess piece, and heard the emperor say, "Then you go to see the queen mother first, this game of chess will not be played until you come back."
Ye Xingze responded and went out with Eunuch Zhou. Nanny Peng, who was in front of Empress Dowager Pang, stood guard outside, and saluted Ye Xingze when she saw Ye Xingze, "I have seen Shizi Ye, and the Empress Dowager is waiting for you in Shoukang Palace."
"Nurse Peng is polite, please lead the way." Ye Xingze turned sideways and did not receive the gift, showing enough respect for the Queen Mother.
When they arrived at the Shoukang Palace, Ye Xingze was taken to the main hall, which has been the empress dowager's residence for generations. The Shoukang Palace in Ye Xingze's memory was low-key and luxurious everywhere, but after the Empress Dowager Pang moved in, there was only luxury left.
Although Empress Dowager Pang was honored as the Empress Dowager, she was actually less than 40 years old. Although there were fine lines between her eyebrows and eyes, she still looked like she was when she was young. Ye Xingze stepped forward to salute, "Zi Zhan has met the Empress Dowager."
"Please get up quickly and give me a seat." The queen mother sat upright, her kind expression was incompatible with the gorgeous and heavy hair crown on her head, "I haven't seen Ye Shizi for a long time, speaking of it, you should call Aijia Auntie." .”
"Yes, Aunt Huang." Ye Xingze replied.
The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and asked a few more about Princess Sui'an. Ye Xingze hit them one by one, and when the queen mother said "that's right", Ye Xingze knew that the main event was coming.
"How old is Zi Zhan?"
"Return to the emperor's aunt, she just turned seventeen last month." Ye Xingze probably knew the purpose of the Queen Mother Pang, and sure enough, the Queen Mother asked again, "Seventeen? Can we talk about marriage, can we make a marriage contract at home?"
"Back to the emperor's grandmother, the marriage is decided by the parents. My mother said that the emperor's uncle just passed away. Although I have passed the filial piety period, the marriage is not in a hurry."
The reason not to talk about marriage is to commemorate the late emperor. This reason is a good reason to block what Queen Mother Pang has not said yet.
After Ye Xingze left, Empress Dowager Pang sighed, and Nanny Peng, who was serving beside her, stepped forward to exchange a cup of tea for the Empress Dowager, "Your Majesty, don't worry, take care of yourself."
"Ye Xingze is a close minister of the emperor, and An Guogong holds military power. If we marry him, we can preserve the glory of my Pang family." The Queen Mother Pang took a sip of tea, and her tone became cold again, "And the one who was injured by Ye Xingze yesterday Hai Fu doesn't know if he has left any openings, don't let him show up until he recovers, he's a bunch of trash!"
"This old slave heard that Fu Qi has been ill and has been drinking the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Liu, so he will collapse sooner or later." Nanny Peng said beside him.
"Oh, if I hadn't forgotten about this little bastard when we married Fu Yi, and let him make trouble in front of the emperor, and the emperor ordered to treat him kindly, it wouldn't be so troublesome now!" The queen mother quickly twirled the beads in her hand, " We must end him quickly, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
Empress Dowager Pang obviously wanted to put Fu Qi to death not just because she hated Fu Yi for poisoning him, but there were obviously other reasons.
When Ye Xingze stepped out of the gate of Shoukang Palace, he suddenly turned his head, and happened to see an eunuch cleaning in the west hall with the door half-closed.
Remembering what the emperor said "it doesn't matter", Ye Xingze smiled.
The emperor left Ye Xingze to play chess, and asked Eunuch Zhou to lead someone to clean a residence far away from the harem. After Ye Xingze arrived, the unfinished chess game in the afternoon was still there.
Listen to Yutang.
"You said that Empress Dowager Pang wants to marry that prince?" Fu Qi leaned against the bed, casually playing with Jiulianhuan in his hand, but a flash of sharpness flashed in his deep eye sockets, "How did Ye Shizi return?"
"It's just out of filial piety, so we don't want to talk about marriage," Fu Shiyi was ordered to investigate Ye Xingze, but he was interrupted by Fu Qi when he was halfway through the report. After answering the questions, Fu Shiyi had time to finish the rest, " Ye Shizi is staying in Zhuyulou by the emperor tonight."
After discussing some political matters with the emperor, Ye Xingze, who was released back to rest, just wanted to take off his clothes and go to sleep. After waving the palace servants into the bedroom, he suddenly stopped, causing the palace servants who were about to leave to ask, "My lord, What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Ye Xingze looked at the sickly young man sitting at the table and smiled, and said after a pause, "You all go out first."
The palace people backed out slowly, and closed the door with a "squeak", before Ye Xingze asked softly, "Why is Mr. Fu Qi here?"
"After I woke up last night, I didn't see you, so I wanted to thank you sooner or later." Fu Qi seemed to be pale because of some wind, and coughed twice, "I heard that you were going to stay overnight, so I came here secretly Wait for you."
"What happened yesterday is not worth mentioning. You don't have to worry about it. Speaking of which, do you know who is going to kill you?" Ye Xingze asked after seeing that the young man's clothes were thin. He closed the window first and poured Fu Qi a cup of hot tea. , I was still wondering whether to tell him the truth.
"I know," Fu Qi's answer was unexpected. He took a small sip of hot tea and said slowly, "It's the empress dowager."
The author has something to say:
No Responsibility Small Theater
Fu Qi: Sister, how did you feel when you first saw him?
Fu Yi: I want to plant a concentric Gu on him and keep him by my side.
Diligent fifth day!
The first thing is naturally that the new emperor ascended the throne, and the court has undergone a wave of blood changes. Among them, the mansion of Duke Anguo is the most prominent. During the time of the first emperor, he married his most beloved sister, Princess Sui'an, to Duke Anguo. An Ning needs the Duke of An to defend it, but the son-in-law is not allowed to get involved in political affairs, so Princess Sui'an married the Duke of An as his wife instead of being called a son-in-law.
Because the Duke of Anguo's mansion firmly stood in line in the prince's battle for succession and was loyal to the crown prince, the prince succeeded in succeeding to the throne, and the status of the Duke of Anguo's mansion will be raised to a higher level.

"Then go back to the palace." The queen mother glanced contemptuously at the silent woman. After being suppressed by her for so many years, the winner is the one who survives in the end. Concubine Xuan Fu Yi, take your love to see the first emperor .
The empress dowager's long guard of honor went away, and suddenly there was a noise in the empty palace, and there was a slight "click" sound. Under the main seat in the main hall, a child unexpectedly emerged, who looked no more than 15 years old.
The boy crawled out in a daze, and ran to the woman in palace costume, shaking in disbelief, "Sister——"
But no one would reply, "Prayer".
Fu Qi's elder sister's advice sounded in Fu Qi's ears, "Qi'er, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Pang Shi ascended to the position of queen mother, so I can't accommodate me. Remember to keep the maple and elm box that my sister gave you. When you grow up, Know everything."

Ye Xingze looked at the tall buildings in the distance with an unpredictable expression.
The eunuch next to His Majesty, Zhou Dao, Eunuch Zhou, came out and asked Ye Xingze to come in, "My lord, Your Majesty is waiting inside."
Ye Xingze withdrew his messy thoughts and followed Eunuch Zhou in.
The young man in the bright yellow uniform with the dragon pattern turned his back to the gate of the palace. Eunuch Zhou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest son is here."
Ye Xingze cupped his hands, "Your Majesty."
"Zi Zhan!" The emperor turned around, and when he saw Ye Xingze, he was very happy, and walked out from the table quickly, and he could see his intimacy while talking, "I haven't seen you for a year, so don't be formal, just call me cousin like before. Okay, I wonder how my aunt is doing recently?"
The emperor has just turned eighteen this year, and he is at the age of high spirits. He looks quite handsome, with deep eye sockets, and he already has the majesty of an emperor.
"Mother is all well." Ye Xingze was born in the mansion of Duke An, but he is more elegant and chic than the general An Guogong. The original owner and the emperor have a good personal relationship. They were classmates when they were young. During the seizure of the heir apparent, Duke Anguo's mansion was only loyal to the emperor, and was loyal to the crown prince after he became a heir. Therefore, the relationship between the two is truly close.
"Now that your filial piety period has passed, it's time to come back and help me," the emperor sighed, and handed Ye Xingze the folder in his hand without any concealment, "Pang's power is so powerful now, it's giving me a headache."
The Pang family is the mother's family of the Empress Dowager Pang. After the new emperor ascended the throne, because of the Empress Dowager's reason, her power gradually increased, and her subordinates accounted for half of the court.

The emperor disregarded the etiquette, not only did not call himself "Zhen", but also affectionately called aunt and uncle in words. The closeness between the emperor and the government of Anguo is evident.
"The things mentioned here are all trivial, not to mention the impeachment of the Pang family, but even a branch of the Pang family will not be damaged," Ye Xingze flipped through the book, and said, "If you don't want to impeach the Pang family, it won't hurt even a single branch of the Pang family." In addition to the Queen Mother, if my cousin is punished for these things, he will be charged with another crime of unfilial piety."
"I don't know," the emperor said halfway, suddenly pale and short of breath, "Hiss—"
"Headache again?" Ye Xingze asked with concern, this is a problem that the emperor had since he was a child, he would always have a splitting headache from time to time, there is no pattern, and there is no way to treat it.
The queen guarding the door listened to the emperor's movements, and came in one after another to serve him.
"It's okay, it's okay this time, you go back first, we'll talk about the matter just discussed next time," the emperor waved his hand, and just as Ye Xingze was about to step back, he heard the emperor say again, "By the way, my aunt asked me to look for it earlier." I found that "Picture of Cold Trees at Evening", it's in my bedroom, Zhou Dao, "
Eunuch Zhou, who was waiting on the sidelines, responded immediately, and bowed to listen to the emperor's instructions, "You take Ye Shizi to my bedroom to pick it up. In addition, there are several inkstones that Xijiang paid tribute to before. You always bring him whatever Ye Shizi likes. "
"Yes!" Eunuch Zhou replied immediately, and walked to Ye Xingze's side, "My lord, please follow me here."
Ye Xingze cupped his hands, and left with Eunuch Zhou. The Hall of Qinzheng is not far from the Hall of Wenxin, and he arrived in a short while. Ye Xingze brought the "Picture of Cold Trees at Evening", and picked out two inkstones, without looking around After rummaging around, he left with Eunuch Zhou.
Speaking of which, Ye Xingze can also be considered a descendant of the royal family. When the late emperor was around, the original owner often came to the harem. On the only way to Tiandi Temple, Ye Xingze said, "Eunuch Zhou, can you allow me to go to Tiandi Temple? I want to see the emperor's uncle and grandmother."
"Of course you can. Please come here, sir." Eunuch Zhou said. He has served His Majesty since he was a child, and he can figure out His Majesty's thoughts. Zhou Dao is familiar with this son, it is reasonable for him to want to pay homage to the Temple of Heaven and Earth, and His Majesty will surely allow it.
Ye Xingze didn't look sideways, but took a look inside when he passed by Tingyutang. The door was closed and he couldn't see what was going on inside. Ye Xingze asked casually, "Eunuch Zhou, who lives in Tingyutang?"
"My son, do you still remember that Concubine Xuan?" This matter is not considered private, and even in order to show the demeanor of the Tian family, His Majesty deliberately spread it to others, so it's okay to talk about it, "The one who lives here is Xuan The younger brother of the imperial concubine, Mr. Fu Qi."
"Oh, I got it." Ye Xingze made a look of sudden realization, "How old is this Mr. Fu Qi? Has he moved out of the palace? I don't think there are people in the Tingyutang."
"Mr. Fu Qi is only fifteen, and he will only be able to move out of the palace next year." Zhou Dao also took a look, the door was closed, and the creepers on the wall covered the entire wall, it really looked like no one lived there, "Probably Mr. Fu Qi is resting, I heard that his health has not been very good, and he has not seen people all year round."
What Eunuch Zhou said was cryptic, and the implication was that Fu Qi's status in the palace was awkward, and it was because of this that he didn't see anyone all year round.
Ye Xingze responded, thinking that he probably won't be able to see him today, so he will look for opportunities in the future. When he thought of this, he just passed by the entrance of Ting Yu Tang. There seemed to be a fight, and before he could tell Eunuch Zhou, he kicked open the door and rushed in.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of fighting inside became clearer. Ye Xingze rushed in first, and saw two people fighting. When the light that belonged to Fu Qi lit up, Ye Xingze flew up to protect Fu Qi, and kicked the other one away. The man in black, Ye Xingze used his finger as a blade, and slashed hard at the right shoulder of the man in black who was attacking again. He stumbled and fled.
However, Ye Xingze noticed that the man in black deliberately withdrew his strength, because with the man in black's skill, it is impossible for Eunuch Zhou to stagger when he bumped into an eunuch.
Fu Qi was already sitting on the bed, covering his heart with one hand, staring at Ye Xingze who rushed in with a pale face. He was dressed in a moon-white robe with a black belt around his waist, and only a jade pendant hung on it. The posture just now was crisp and neat, like a powerful light falling into this simple bedroom. When standing there, he didn't see the fierceness when he just used force, but only the noble temperament of Zhilan Yushu, which is incompatible with this bedroom.
Fu Qi seems to understand a little bit, her sister once described how she felt when she first met the late emperor.
Eunuch Zhou chased him in, awakening the dazed Fu Qi, and the pale young man quietly retracted the Gu worm, which could kill instantly, into his sleeve.
"This—" Zhou Dao was in a panic. Even in the period when he was walking on thin ice, he had never seen such a sword, light and sword, and he panicked for a while.
"Eunuch Zhou, go and report to His Majesty, I will stay here to prevent the man in black from returning." Ye Xingze reminded.
"Yes, I have to report to His Majesty, then there will be Lord Lao Shi here." Zhou Dao hurriedly left after saluting.
Ye Xingze only had time to look at Fu Qi sitting on the bed.
Sure enough, as mentioned in the plot, he is a foreign boy with big eyes, a straight nose, and slightly curly hair. Because of his frail body, his complexion is pale, and because of the consumption just now, there is a trace of uncoordinated blood on his pale face.
"Is Master Fu Qi injured?" Ye Xingze asked after noticing Fu Qi's right hand that was always behind his back.
"Nothing." Fu Qi's eyes were a little wary, his voice was also weak, and he said slowly, "Thank you for your help, may I ask you?"
"Ye Xingze of An Guogong's mansion, the name is Zizhan," Ye Xingze cupped his hands, "Don't be nervous, my lord. I won't leave here until Eunuch Zhou comes back."
"Well——" Fu Qi seemed to want to say something, but suddenly his eyes blurred, and he passed out.
When he woke up again, he was already lying on the bed with his coat off. There was an imperial physician beside the bed who was about to check his pulse. The father-in-law he had seen before was standing behind the imperial physician, while the man named Ye Xingze was gone.
"Your Majesty Fu Qi, are you awake?" Zhou Nanfeng's exclusive father-in-law took a step forward, and the eunuch's voice sounded, "This is Imperial Physician Wei. I have ordered your pulse from His Majesty. In addition, Your Majesty is worried about your safety, so he came from the palace specially." A team from the imperial army has been dispatched to protect your safety, as for the assassin, His Majesty has also sent someone to investigate, and His Majesty has also rewarded some supplements, which have been put into your warehouse here."
It is said to be a warehouse, but it is actually a room that no one lives in.
Fu Qi nodded, "Thank you Your Majesty, I am the one who caused trouble."
But his eyes were looking around, and after a while, he pursed his lips and said, "Where's that person?"
"Who?" Eunuch Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized, "You mean the son of the world? It's getting late, and he has already left the palace."
"Shizi?" Fu Qi repeated, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just oh.
Naturally, the imperial physician couldn't diagnose anything, and in the end he only said that it was a natural deficiency, and he had to take good care of it, so he withdrew.
After the father-in-law and the imperial physician left, a person jumped off the roof and knelt down in front of Fu Qi, "My lord, I am the one who failed to protect the lord!"
"Get up, I sent you out, no wonder you," Fu Qi sat up and signaled Fu Shishi to get up, his eyes were cold, "Have you got in touch with the clan? Is there any news about the key?"
"We got in touch. The clan only said that it belonged to Miss Fu Yi, and they will send someone to find it in Miss Fu Yi's room. It will take some time." Fu Shiyi replied in a low voice.
"Miss Fu Yi..." Fu Qi lowered his head and stared at the group blessing pattern on the quilt. This is the case of the Yuan Chi clan. Female, the tablet after death cannot be enshrined in the saint's shrine in the clan.
When his sister was alive, he was still young and didn't understand these things. Later, when his sister went away and Fu Shiyi came to him, Fu Qi realized how sad the phrase "Miss Fu Yi" is. My sister gave everything for the clan. In the end, he couldn't enter the Saintess Shrine.
"This is what I got from the man in black today, you go check it out," Fu Qi handed Fu Shiyi a token with a strange symbol on it, "the emperor must not be able to find anything." , just going through the motions, not serious, you go and find out about this matter."
"Also, check one more person for me."
Three days later, Ye Xingze was transferred to Yushitai. He knew in his heart that it was the emperor who made it easier for him to keep an eye on the Pang family.
But the emperor was a little bored, and invited him to play chess, regardless of winning or losing, just to kill some time.
"Cousin, what happened to the man in black who broke into the harem a few days ago?" Ye Xingze asked casually, without asking about Fu Qi.
"It doesn't matter. Speaking of it, thank you for what happened that day," the emperor considered and dropped his son, "Concubine Xuangui followed my father, if her younger brother died in the palace, it would damage my royal reputation." .”
"It's just a coincidence, but cousin, when I went in yesterday, I saw that the bedroom was a bit shabby. Cousin, since you want to treat him kindly, I think you should do it right, and you can't make people feel resentful." Ye Xingze thought of that Poor dormitory, suggested.
"I told the queen yesterday what you said, and he will pay attention." The emperor said casually.
More than half of the chess game had already been played, when Eunuch Zhou came in suddenly, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager heard that Ye Shizi is here, and sent someone here, saying that she hadn't seen Ye Shizi for a long time, and wanted to see him."
Ye Xingze stopped holding the chess piece, raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and just happened to meet the emperor's gaze, then put down the chess piece, and heard the emperor say, "Then you go to see the queen mother first, this game of chess will not be played until you come back."
Ye Xingze responded and went out with Eunuch Zhou. Nanny Peng, who was in front of Empress Dowager Pang, stood guard outside, and saluted Ye Xingze when she saw Ye Xingze, "I have seen Shizi Ye, and the Empress Dowager is waiting for you in Shoukang Palace."
"Nurse Peng is polite, please lead the way." Ye Xingze turned sideways and did not receive the gift, showing enough respect for the Queen Mother.
When they arrived at the Shoukang Palace, Ye Xingze was taken to the main hall, which has been the empress dowager's residence for generations. The Shoukang Palace in Ye Xingze's memory was low-key and luxurious everywhere, but after the Empress Dowager Pang moved in, there was only luxury left.
Although Empress Dowager Pang was honored as the Empress Dowager, she was actually less than 40 years old. Although there were fine lines between her eyebrows and eyes, she still looked like she was when she was young. Ye Xingze stepped forward to salute, "Zi Zhan has met the Empress Dowager."
"Please get up quickly and give me a seat." The queen mother sat upright, her kind expression was incompatible with the gorgeous and heavy hair crown on her head, "I haven't seen Ye Shizi for a long time, speaking of it, you should call Aijia Auntie." .”
"Yes, Aunt Huang." Ye Xingze replied.
The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and asked a few more about Princess Sui'an. Ye Xingze hit them one by one, and when the queen mother said "that's right", Ye Xingze knew that the main event was coming.
"How old is Zi Zhan?"
"Return to the emperor's aunt, she just turned seventeen last month." Ye Xingze probably knew the purpose of the Queen Mother Pang, and sure enough, the Queen Mother asked again, "Seventeen? Can we talk about marriage, can we make a marriage contract at home?"
"Back to the emperor's grandmother, the marriage is decided by the parents. My mother said that the emperor's uncle just passed away. Although I have passed the filial piety period, the marriage is not in a hurry."
The reason not to talk about marriage is to commemorate the late emperor. This reason is a good reason to block what Queen Mother Pang has not said yet.
After Ye Xingze left, Empress Dowager Pang sighed, and Nanny Peng, who was serving beside her, stepped forward to exchange a cup of tea for the Empress Dowager, "Your Majesty, don't worry, take care of yourself."
"Ye Xingze is a close minister of the emperor, and An Guogong holds military power. If we marry him, we can preserve the glory of my Pang family." The Queen Mother Pang took a sip of tea, and her tone became cold again, "And the one who was injured by Ye Xingze yesterday Hai Fu doesn't know if he has left any openings, don't let him show up until he recovers, he's a bunch of trash!"
"This old slave heard that Fu Qi has been ill and has been drinking the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Liu, so he will collapse sooner or later." Nanny Peng said beside him.
"Oh, if I hadn't forgotten about this little bastard when we married Fu Yi, and let him make trouble in front of the emperor, and the emperor ordered to treat him kindly, it wouldn't be so troublesome now!" The queen mother quickly twirled the beads in her hand, " We must end him quickly, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
Empress Dowager Pang obviously wanted to put Fu Qi to death not just because she hated Fu Yi for poisoning him, but there were obviously other reasons.
When Ye Xingze stepped out of the gate of Shoukang Palace, he suddenly turned his head, and happened to see an eunuch cleaning in the west hall with the door half-closed.
Remembering what the emperor said "it doesn't matter", Ye Xingze smiled.
The emperor left Ye Xingze to play chess, and asked Eunuch Zhou to lead someone to clean a residence far away from the harem. After Ye Xingze arrived, the unfinished chess game in the afternoon was still there.
Listen to Yutang.
"You said that Empress Dowager Pang wants to marry that prince?" Fu Qi leaned against the bed, casually playing with Jiulianhuan in his hand, but a flash of sharpness flashed in his deep eye sockets, "How did Ye Shizi return?"
"It's just out of filial piety, so we don't want to talk about marriage," Fu Shiyi was ordered to investigate Ye Xingze, but he was interrupted by Fu Qi when he was halfway through the report. After answering the questions, Fu Shiyi had time to finish the rest, " Ye Shizi is staying in Zhuyulou by the emperor tonight."
After discussing some political matters with the emperor, Ye Xingze, who was released back to rest, just wanted to take off his clothes and go to sleep. After waving the palace servants into the bedroom, he suddenly stopped, causing the palace servants who were about to leave to ask, "My lord, What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Ye Xingze looked at the sickly young man sitting at the table and smiled, and said after a pause, "You all go out first."
The palace people backed out slowly, and closed the door with a "squeak", before Ye Xingze asked softly, "Why is Mr. Fu Qi here?"
"After I woke up last night, I didn't see you, so I wanted to thank you sooner or later." Fu Qi seemed to be pale because of some wind, and coughed twice, "I heard that you were going to stay overnight, so I came here secretly Wait for you."
"What happened yesterday is not worth mentioning. You don't have to worry about it. Speaking of which, do you know who is going to kill you?" Ye Xingze asked after seeing that the young man's clothes were thin. He closed the window first and poured Fu Qi a cup of hot tea. , I was still wondering whether to tell him the truth.
"I know," Fu Qi's answer was unexpected. He took a small sip of hot tea and said slowly, "It's the empress dowager."
The author has something to say:
No Responsibility Small Theater
Fu Qi: Sister, how did you feel when you first saw him?
Fu Yi: I want to plant a concentric Gu on him and keep him by my side.
Diligent fifth day!
