Shen Xinyan went out of the palace worriedly, first to Zhongyi Hou's mansion, seeing Wei Yingzhi who had been waiting for the notification early, she immediately put her worries aside for the time being, took her hand and said disapprovingly: " They are all well-behaved people, why are they still standing here? They don’t take care of themselves at all, how can Yunfu feel at ease like you?”

     

    Shen Xinyan poked her forehead angrily: "I can't even take care of myself, how will I take care of the children in the future?"

    Wei Yingzhi smiled flatteringly at her, and the mother and daughter entered the house together, and her own smart girl served tea.

      "Shen Xinyan Daoming's intention.

    Wei Yingzhi also had this idea for a long time. After all, this child is her and Yunfu's first child. Trust, only her grandmother and mother have kissed.

    "Madam, this is the list for next month." The mother and daughter were talking when a woman came in with the list and presented it to Wei Yingzhi.

    Wei Yingzhi took it and glanced at it and threw it on the round table aside: "The fifth item of expenses is wrong, go back and recalculate it and then withdraw it!"

     

    "It's more and more like a mistress of the house." Shen Xinyan said with relief.

    "Mother is used to making fun of people, if they weren't too greedy, I wouldn't care about it. Although the water is clear, there will be no fish, but if the water is too turbid, the fish will still be Can you survive?" Wei Yingzhi was somewhat disapproving.

     

    "I'm thinking the same way, and I have a candidate in my heart, but I'm still slowly observing it now."

    "You have an idea in mind." Shen Xinyan finally felt relieved.

    While the mother and daughter were talking, the maid packed everything Wei Yingzhi needed.

    Wei Yingzhi called the housekeeper's maid and the housekeeper of the outer court again, and explained everything in the house properly, and then went out with Shen Xinyan and took a carriage to the Guogong's house.

    The mother and daughter returned to the mansion and went straight to the eldest princess. She saw that the eldest princess was leaning on the soft couch, listening carefully to Brother Xiang's childish words, and extending her hand from time to time Go stroking the little guy's head, his face full of relief: "Grandma's brother Lin is really a smart child."

    "Grandmother, I'm not Brother Lin, I'm Brother Xiang." Brother Xiang corrected her in a milky voice.

    "Brother Xiang?" The eldest princess was obviously stunned for a moment, squinting her eyes and carefully looking at the little guy with his bulging cheeks. Now, this is Brother Xiang, grandmother's careful liver, Brother Xiang."

                         

    "Mother, grandmother?" Wei Yingzhi's heart skipped a beat and looked at Shen Xinyan subconsciously.

    Shen Xinyan sighed and shook her head, lowered her head: "I'll talk to you later."

    The situation of the eldest princess is good and bad.

    Shen Xinyan became more and more worried, news has been spread in the palace, only that His Majesty's dragon body is ill, and for the time being, he will hand over the government to the prince.

    The courtiers are not too surprised. After all, the prince has gradually begun to participate in political affairs in recent years. When Emperor Yuanyou left the palace to go to the summer resort, all the affairs of the court were handed over to the prince.

    But, Shen Xinyan always felt uneasy, as if all this was just a moment of calm before the storm came.

    A few days later, Queen Zhou, who was gradually forgotten by the world, suddenly regained her favor, and the Fengkun Palace, which was like a cold palace in the past, became lively again.

    Shen Xinyan was shocked.

    Since coming to the harem to fight for favor is one thing and another, if Queen Zhou regains her favor, it means that Concubine Rui is about to fall out of favor.

    "Madam, Mrs. Fang Wu is here again, saying she wants to visit her sick sister." Ziyan came in to report.

    Shen Xinyan pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and ordered, "Take her! Just don't take it lightly."

    Zi Yan nodded: "I understand."

    In fact, Fang Birong has been coming to her door every now and then, either in the name of visiting the eldest princess, or in the name of missing the eldest sister who is sick. Shen Xinyan pondered that there would be one time in five times as she wished.

     

    However, the other party Bi Rong, she always maintained her vigilance, although she was allowed to go to Fang's place, but she also kept the servants watching them closely. At least, she still can't guess Fang Birong's idea.

    Wei Junhang and Wei Chenglin are not in the mansion. Although Wei Chengzhao, Wei Chengyue and Wei Chengqi have errands one after another, they have not reached the point where they can get in touch with the affairs of the palace.

    She has always been very concerned about Emperor Yuanyou's sudden ailment and Empress Zhou's sudden return to favor, and she can't let it go. For some reason, Concubine Rui Gui had already dismissed her post on entering the palace asking for safety twice in succession.

    In the case of the eldest princess, she didn't dare to disturb her with this kind of thing.

    Somehow, a face appeared in her mind, and she slapped her forehead.

    Yeah, how could I forget him!

    ***

    Qiao Liu came out of the store with a face full of disappointment, looking at the bustling street, there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, and occasionally naughty children chased by him, but the one he wanted to see People can never find a trace.

    He rubbed his forehead with a headache.

    As expected of Xu Da, who is decisive in killing, he really won't see you again if he says no goodbye. In this life, he has kicked the iron plate and confessed his defeat!

    "Master Qiao Liu." He suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw a strange young man dressed as a servant.

    "Master Qiao Liu, my wife has a few words to ask you."

    He frowned, and was about to refuse, when he suddenly saw a jade plaque on the other side's waist, his mind moved, and he nodded in response: "Please lead the way."

    Following the other party to a familiar grocery store, his guess was a little more certain, until the one led him into the back hall, he could already Determine who you want to meet.

    "Sister-in-law!" Sure enough, when she entered the room, she saw Shen Xinyan sitting inside waiting for her.

    "Master Qiao Liu!" Shen Xinyan greeted her politely.

    As Wei Junhang's wife, and because of Xu Sumin's relationship, she became a business partner with him. Qiao Liu is no stranger to Shen Xinyan, but he can't think of the other party taking the initiative to find out what he is doing.

    But it doesn't matter, it just so happens that he also has something to ask her.

     

    "I saw her once about a month ago, but she said she was going to leave the capital for a while and would not be back in the short term."

    "Did she say why she left? When will she come back?" Qiao Liu asked reluctantly.

    "It didn't say what was the reason, it only said that it was short in one year, and long in two years." Shen Xinyan thought that he was looking for Xu Sumin urgently, so she did not hide it from him and answered truthfully.

     

    "It was never said."

    Although this answer was expected, but hearing it again, he still couldn't contain the disappointment on his face.

    "I don't know if Mrs. Sister-in-law has asked Qiao Liu to come to inquire about it. Madam, please say it directly. Qiao Liu knows everything." He sorted out his mood and asked Shen Xinyan's gaze.

     

    Qiao Liu's complexion changed, and he subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when he thought of the identity of the other party, he hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Mrs. Sister-in-law guessed a good point."

     After a pause, she reminded softly: "Madam, don't worry too much, just close the door and thank guests as before. In the palace, if there is no very important matter, don't take it lightly. Go in. As long as the second brother Wei comes back, everything will be over."

    Seeing that Shen Xinyan opened her mouth and seemed to want to ask again, he quickly interrupted: "There's only so much I can say, now the situation is not clear, Mrs.-in-law can only stay in the mansion with peace of mind, and take care of the people in the mansion. Everything can be managed well, and the rest, even if you have the heart, you are afraid that you are powerless."

    Shen Xinyan saw that he would not say more, and knew that she couldn't ask any more questions, and was a little disappointed for a while, but this trip was not without results. At least she knew, the palace has changed, and the situation is not optimistic.

     Concubine Rui refused to see herself, fearing that it was also a kind of protection for the government.

    Now she only hopes that Concubine Ruigui and the prince can stabilize the court situation. As long as they stabilize, they will provide Wei Junhang and Wei Chenglin with the most persistent support.

    The most feared thing is the instability of the rear.

    Although Wei Junhang may not be in battle, he is still in the army. If something happens, he will not be able to escape.

    A few days later, the news that Emperor Yuanyou's condition had deteriorated and he was almost unconscious was finally spread in the courtroom.

    I don't know when it started, but it was rumored that His Majesty was ill, for fear that it was secretly calculated by someone with a heart. And this caring person, openly and secretly, pointed to the 'beneficiary' - the prince.

    The Queen of Zhou in the palace suddenly issued a phoenix edict and banned Concubine Ruigui from the palace. The prince collided with Queen Zhou in his words because he was defending his biological mother. Suddenly, the prince's disrespectful words came out from the court and the opposition.

    Then, there were more and more voices of dissatisfaction with the prince in the court.

    Although Shen Xinyan closed the door of the house, she was also paying attention to the affairs in the palace. She soon knew the crisis facing Concubine Ruigui and the prince.

     Her brows became worried.

    The reaction was so fast and the rumors spread so fast, she would never believe it if there was no intention behind it. And what is the purpose of the people behind it? Do you want to take the opportunity to take the position of the prince and replace him, or is there another purpose?

    "Mother, the imperial concubine is in a bad situation in the palace now, I want to go to the palace to see her." Naturally, these things could not be hidden from Wei Yingzhi.

    Shen Xinyan shook her head: "The imperial concubine will not see you, so you should rest assured to raise the baby!"

    Concubine Ruigui refused to even see her, so how could she let Wei Yingzhi, who was pregnant, enter the palace!

    Wei Yingzhi also understood this, bit her lips lightly, and suddenly said, "Empress Zhou is in power again, who are you most proud of?"

    "Naturally it is the direct line of the Zhou family." Shen Xinyan replied.

     After a bit of a pause, she shook her head again: "Back then, the direct line of the Zhou family did not save the Empress, but they have not heard of it for these years. They may not be willing to hold them again and give them glory."

    On the contrary, Zhou Mao, who was born, was implicated and lost a good official position because he pleaded for Queen Zhou. Furthermore, Zhou Mao was much more capable than the doujinshi who could not support other houses in the Zhou family. .

    The mother and daughter were discussing in a low voice, Ziyan stumbled in with a white face: "Husband, madam, something is bad!"

    "Speak slowly, don't worry!" Shen Xinyan choked her breath and said hurriedly.

      Lost!"

    "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! Wei's man is dedicated to the country, how could he do such a thing of collaborating with the enemy and treason!" The eldest princess walked out on crutches at some point, just listening to When she said this, she trembled with anger.

    Shen Xinyan was worried that her body could not bear it, so she stepped forward and persuaded: "Mother don't need to be angry, the so-called clear is self-clearing, your majesty and the prince will not believe such nonsense, let's not Since you are in a mess, you will add to the conversation for others."

     

     

    The news of the defeat of the army gradually came out. Although the Rongdi people failed to conquer the next city again, they were gradually approaching. It seemed that the destruction of the city was only a matter of time.

    There was another quarrel in the court hall. Some said that it was better to increase troops to help General Murong, some said that it would be better to replace the generals, and some said that General Murong’s army could not even beat the mere Rongdi people. There must be a reason.

    Since some people have raised questions, and I don't know who started it, the arrow gradually points to the rumors that seem to be true or false in the capital recently - the British prince Wei Jun sailed to the enemy and betrayed the country, resulting in successive defeats in the front battle.

    The prince looked on with a cold eye, and when he saw that they finally pointed the finger at the British prince, he was immediately furious.

    "...cooperating with the enemy and treason, there will definitely be evidence of correspondence, and this minister believes that we must find out this black sheep as soon as possible, and let it go to comfort my heroic spirit of the soldiers who died in the battle!"

    "Sir Wang is very true."

    "The minister seconded."

    …

    Seeing that someone finally proposed the idea of ​​​​searching the mansion, and even there were not a few people who agreed, the prince finally shouted angrily: "Absurd! Just for some nonsense, he searched the mansion for generations of loyal and good families, this move Don't be afraid that the cold will destroy the hearts of the world!"

    Of course, there are many people who firmly support the prince, and Wen Yan also joined the array to denounce the courtiers who proposed to search the government.

    Suddenly, everyone in the hall said something to me.

    There are those who support Soufu and those who oppose it, but there are no neutral reservations.

    The prince suppressed his anger and watched this chaotic scene. Since Queen Zhou suddenly regained favor, whether it was the harem or the former court, he felt that he was greatly challenged. Emperor Yuanyou's condition has worsened, and he has fallen into a coma in recent days. Concubine Ruigui has been operating in the palace for many years, but Empress Zhou is famous, and both of them have nothing to do with each other.

    Several days later, Shen Xinyan was waiting for the eldest princess to drink medicine. In the past two days, the eldest princess became more and more mentally ill. When she was awake, she kept asking about the war ahead and whether Wei Junhang could return with a letter .

    Shen Xinyan was also worried about Wei Junhang on the front line. The news from the front line became more and more unfavorable, and the rumors about the British public collusion became more and more intensified. Even Wei Chenglin did not die, but secretly took refuge with Rong Di. People have spread such words.

    She felt that the Guogong's mansion was being watched by someone, and a big net in the dark was gradually opening.

    As a housewife, she couldn't think of any effective way, so she could only follow Wei Junhang's instructions before leaving, guarding the entire palace so tightly that she even attacked with thunder The method severely punished the servants who spread false rumors in the house and caused panic.

    This trick has indeed achieved results, and no one dares to break their mouths to deceive people.

    "Madam, there are officers and soldiers coming!" At this moment, Chun Liu came in with a pale face and whispered in her ear.

    Shen Xinyan shook her hand holding the spoon, and a few drops of the potion dripped onto the thin blanket on the Eldest Princess.

    She took a few deep breaths, suppressed the worries in her heart, and handed the medicine bowl to Mingshuang beside her in a hurry: "You wait for His Highness to drink medicine first."

    And said to the eldest princess: "Mother, I will go back when I go. After you take the medicine, take a rest for a while. If you feel bored, let Ying'er come to accompany you."

    The eldest princess is not in good spirits, her eyelids are drooping, and she doesn't care what Chunliu said, just "um" and the lunch is ready.

    Shen Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief, and then instructed the maid in the house to serve her well, and then walked out quickly with Chunliu.

    On the way, Chunliu told her things carefully.

    " They said they were ordered to search our house, and they didn't say what they wanted to search. How dare the big housekeeper let them in, but those people are vicious. There is no way, the big housekeeper can only temporarily calm down To delay the time, I ordered someone to invite the lady."

    Shen Xinyan took a step, frowned tightly, and for a while, whispered a few words in her ear.

    Chunliu nodded, and finally said, "Don't worry, Madam, I'll do it right away."

    When Shen Xinyan arrived at the front hall, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit tense. One side was several men dressed as guards with weapons, and the other side was the juniors in the mansion headed by Wei Chengzhao.

     

      "The leading man sneered.

    "You dare!"

    "Brother Yue!" Seeing Wei Chengyue blushing with anger, she was about to rush forward, and Shen Xinyan hurriedly stopped him.

    "Second Aunt/Second Aunt." Wei Chengzhao Wei Chengqi saw her coming, and hurriedly greeted her.

    "You all go back, just leave it to me here." Shen Xinyan ordered.

    "Second aunt, I'll stay to protect you!" Wei Chengyue held the wooden stick tightly and stood beside her firmly.

    "You all go first, I will arrange it myself." Shen Xinyan whispered.

    What more Wei Chengyue wanted to say, Wei Chengzhao's eyes flickered on the side, he pulled his brother's cuff, and said first: "In this case, my nephew will go in first, if the second aunt has something to do, please let me know. People call it."

    After speaking, he pulled Wei Chengyue with one hand and Wei Chengqi with the other, dragging them away.

    "The lady of the country is reasonable." The man sneered again.

    Shen Xinyan also responded with a cold snort: "I want to be rational in everything, I dare to ask this lord, who was ordered by him? What are you doing here?"

    "Your Majesty's order came to search the Duke's mansion, and he also asked his wife to make it easy, otherwise, Your Majesty will blame it, and the subordinate will be fine. Madam can't face Longyan's wrath either."

    "You have to be famous since ancient times. I don't know who in my mansion did something?

     

    "Presumptuous! My Wei family has been loyal and good from generation to generation, calming civil strife, expelling foreign enemies, and making great contributions to the court. After several generations, how could you, a shameless junior, be easily humiliated!" Shen Xinyan suddenly scolded.

    "If you want to search the house, step on the corpse of Wei's clan's wife, and the Wei family will enter on behalf of Yingshi's spirit!" She suddenly grabbed a red plum porcelain cup on the table and slammed it heavily It hit the ground, only to hear a crisp 'pop', and the porcelain cup shattered. Immediately, Wei Chengzhao, who had already left, and other juniors filed in.

    Everyone holds a spiritual seat in their arms. In the arms of the youngest brother Xiang, it is his biological grandfather, the spiritual position of the British public.

    Wei Chengzhao and the others looked solemn, lined up and stared at the man.

    The man's expression changed.
