Lu E hurriedly replied, "To the princess, this is the Assistant Government Hall."

"Auxiliary Palace?"

Shen Yangui looked around, "Am I not taking a bath? Why are you here in the palace?"

"That was all two days ago."

Qingshuang told the story of the assassination that night, "The prince was attacked by an assassin, and you were also attacked by an assassin. Thank God, it was not a fatal poison."

"Assassin? Poison?"

Shen Yangui became more and more confused as she listened. She wiped her face with her hands, trying to retrieve some memories, but she could only remember that she fell asleep with her eyes covered with a veil and soaked in warm water.

"Qingqing!"

Mo Chengying strode in.

Shen Yan returned home and saw a shadow at the door, and he was hugged in an instant.

"You finally woke up, finally woke up."

Mo Chengying touched her left and right, fearing that Qingqing was missing a piece, and kept asking if she felt uncomfortable. He also ordered the imperial doctor to be sent.

Wen Yuan envoy took a pulse to confirm that nothing was wrong, and he felt relieved after worrying about it for two days.

Shen Yan returned and said, "Qing Shuang told me everything. Fortunately, I just slept for a while and woke up. Husband, don't worry."

"Did you take a nap? I was almost scared to death. Are you hungry after sleeping for so long?"

Without waiting for instructions, Lu E had already ordered someone to bring the food.

After Shen Yan returned to wash up and eat, Mo Chengying served her a bowl of porridge and told her everything that had happened in the past two days.

"Queen Mother?"

After lying in bed for two days, the oil and water in his stomach should be scraped away. Shen Yangui had no physical strength and ate lazily.

She couldn't figure out what Feng Yuqing meant by this move, so she simply put down the porridge bowl, "How could she make such a move?"

"It's just a dog jumping over the wall. She thinks that if you are not around, I can change my mind about her - just eat these two bites after being hungry for two days?"

Mo Chengying was afraid that the porridge would be too thick for her to swallow, so he quickly filled a bowl of soup and put it to her mouth with a spoon, "Don't you like this Longjing bamboo fungus soup lately? Try it quickly."

The bamboo fungus is crispy, the hot soup is sweet, and the green tea has just the right amount of bitterness, which is the finishing touch.

Shen Yangui was coaxed to take a few sips to wake up his appetite, and then picked up the porridge bowl.

"The Queen Mother is so decisive in trying to survive by cutting off her tail. The Queen Mother will never be so short-sighted. Besides, if she wants to attack me, she can just use poison. Why just make me sleep?"

Mo Chengying said: "You can only use it to blackmail me if you are alive."

Feng Yuqing knew that she was proficient in pharmacology and had a sensitive nose, so she deliberately used this strange medicine to deal with herself, so that she could send people to kidnap herself, blackmail the prince, let the Feng family go, and even force him to return his power.

It does make sense.

Shen Yangui nodded, thought for a while, and asked sideways: "Lv'e, do you know what the Queen Mother's purpose was yesterday?"

Mo Chengying scooped up a spoonful of soup and fed it to him, "Why do you ask this?"

"If she comes to beg me, the assassin in the bathroom is probably not hers, and we have to be careful. But if she comes to harm me..."

"Are you here to harm the princess?"

Qingshuang said, "Princess, you haven't seen it. The Queen Mother has brought a lot of palace people with her, and she is very aggressive. She looks like she wants to kill you before the prince comes back. Fortunately, the Queen Mother arrived in time."

"I think highly of her." Shen Yangui said with some regret, "The Empress Dowager is here too?"

Lu'e replied: "The prince had the foresight and was afraid that the guards would not be able to stop him, so he informed the Empress Dowager in advance."

"Then I will go see the Queen Mother tomorrow and thank her for her help."

"Why be anxious? You will live here these days. It will not be too late to leave when you feel better."

Mo Chengying felt it was unnecessary. He was afraid that Shen Yangui would not stay, so he specifically said: "If you feel bored, go to the harem for a walk. Although the imperial garden is not as good as the garden in our house, it is good to see something new."

He paused for a moment, and then said in a low-key manner, "My wife, I treat my husband as someone who loves me dearly. Please stay with me, okay?"

Qingshuang saw how pitiful the regent had been having trouble sleeping and eating these past two days, so she also helped to speak and said:

"Princess, please agree with the prince. I haven't seen the palace where the ladies lived. Let's go to the harem someday to have a look?"

"You want to take a look if you haven't seen it before?" Shen Yangui glared at her, "I haven't seen the dragon chair in the Golden Palace, but you still want to go in and have a look?"

Qingshuang smiled innocently, but she was not polite, "If the princess becomes the emperor, then won't this servant be allowed to go in and have a look?"

"You talk nonsense all day long, but you don't know what to say." Shen Yangui's tone became serious, "If you lose your head, how dare you talk nonsense?!"

"We are all our own people behind closed doors, and our own people are joking and gossiping, so why not?"

Seeing that she was in a hurry to eat, Mo Chengying simply brought the porridge bowl over and said, "Besides, even a born-in-law can be an emperor. My family is both wise and brave, so why not?"

Shen Yangui glanced at the porridge that was brought to his mouth, and somehow felt that he was not joking.

Mo Chengying smiled and said slowly: "How can Qingqing refuse the porridge that reaches your mouth?"

Porridge that reaches your mouth... or something else?

This is somewhat intriguing.

Due to the stamina of the tranquilizing medicine, Shen Yangui felt weak, so he listened to Mo Chengying and rested in the Assistant Government Hall for two days.

Mo Chengying was busy non-stop, meeting ministers and reviewing memorials almost all day long.

After Shen Yan returned and felt better, he went to Shou'an Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. He also specially brought several maids with him to the harem to see the world.

"The Golden Palace is where the emperor goes to court. This is where the emperor lives. This is the Jiaofang Palace, this is the Fengluan Palace...this is the Changning Palace..."

Sui'an is very familiar with the palace, and today he was allowed not to wait in the Assistant Palace, so he came specifically to guide the princess.

A guard of honor followed behind him - the queen's guard of honor followed.

Qingshuang asked curiously: "Why is the Fengluan Palace where the Queen lives so far away from the Emperor's residence, but the Jiaofang Palace is right next door to the Emperor?"

Sui'an replied: "Miss Qingshuang doesn't know that the Jiaofang Hall was originally built by Emperor Renzong specifically for the imperial concubine."

Xia An asked: "Specially built? What's the point of this pepper house?"

"The Jiao Fang Hall is made of pepper flowers and mud painted on the walls. The walls can be pink and fragrant. Peppers with many seeds have the meaning of having many children and good fortune."

Shen Yangui looked at the gorgeous palace from a distance, "I heard that Emperor Renzong cared about the people, was lenient to his subordinates, and advocated frugality throughout his life. To make such an exception for luxury, he must really love the imperial concubine, right?"

"It's more than just love? It's love to the bone! According to the rules of the palace, when a beautiful girl first enters the palace, she is just a talented person at most. When the imperial concubine enters the palace, she will be promoted to a concubine. She will be favored for ten years. If she has no children, she will be concubine or imperial concubine. It's a pity that the imperial concubine is not lucky enough to give birth to a prince..."

Sui'an sighed, "After the imperial concubine passed away, Emperor Renzong was heartbroken and died within two years."

The sons of beloved concubines are often feared. Without the protection of their parents, I'm afraid...

Shen Yan's heart tightened, "What about the imperial concubine's child?"

Qingshuang said happily: "Could this son of the imperial concubine be our prince?"

Sui'an shook his head like chaff, "That can't be the case."

Perhaps because he didn't dare or perhaps because he didn't want to, Sui'an only said, "Our prince has a bad background" and didn't mention anything more. He just said:

"The late emperor was cruel and ruthless. After Emperor Renzong left, he personally gave away the son of the imperial concubine to..."

Sui'an pinched his whisk hard, then spread his hands and said, "It's gone."

Calculating the time, the child was only two years old. He couldn't speak clearly and was strangled to death. This shows that the emperor's family is really cold-blooded.

But it would also be the case if there was a fight in the backyard of a deep house, let alone an emperor's house?

Shen Yangui sighed inwardly.

"Hey, it's all nonsense spread by the servants to relieve the princess' boredom." Sui An raised his fly whisk and his voice became brighter, "If the princess is unhappy, it will be the fault of the slave."

Shen Yangui shook his head.

"At this time, it's time for the prince to go to court. Princess, let's go back from the Golden Palace." Qing Shuang changed the subject and said, "I have never seen a large group of officials."

When Mr. Guan came into her mouth, he seemed like a new monkey.

Shen Yangui frowned slightly, pretending to be disgusted and said, "You are just very curious and want to see everything."

The master and servant walked forward, but heard someone shouting in front:

"...Ancestor! The prince told you to read and write in his palace for the past two days. You don't want to run around!"

Qingshuang stretched her neck, "Who dares to run rampant in this important palace?"

Who else could it be?

Shen Yangui turned around not wanting to meet him, and that bright yellow flashed in front of him.
