The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

After Pei Shuo came back, he told Xu Yao that he was going to take action against the Wu family.

This sudden news made Xu Yao stunned. "Why did you suddenly take action? You just dealt with Bai Lingzhi. Would it be inappropriate to take action against the Wu family now?"

The destruction of the Bai family has shocked the capital for a long time. Only half a month has passed, and the money bags in the hands of the Wu family have not even warmed up, but Pei Shuo is going to take action against the Wu family again. Even if he agrees, the emperor will not agree.

Pei Shuo smiled: "The emperor will naturally not agree, and this matter will not succeed."

But he must bury this mine.

Xu Yao didn't understand, so Pei Shuo said, "Some things must be planned in advance, just like brewing wine, which ferments slowly. When the time is right, the wine will be mellow and the smell will be hard to conceal."

Xu Yao listened to Pei Shuo's words and sighed that Pei Shuo was now very thoughtful. He was afraid that he had already laid a lot of clues to deal with the Wu family.

I just don't know when this bomb will explode.

She wanted to meet the Immortal of the South Sea more and more, so she couldn't help asking Pei Shuo: "Has the letter been sent out? Why hasn't the old Taoist priest given any news?"

"Of course I have sent the letter. How dare I neglect Master's order? As for why the person hasn't arrived yet, it may be because something has held him up. You just need to wait quietly."

Pei Shuo also mentioned that Doctor Qu had recently researched new drugs, and if the master was bored, he might as well go research new drugs with him.

Xu Yao thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

On the second day, someone in the Zhou Dynasty court impeached the Wu family for corruption, bribery and embezzlement.

Not only did they take advantage of the time when they were dealing with Bai Lingzhi to swallow up a large amount of the Bai family's assets, but the Wu family had been in government for many years, deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and even tampered with the court's military pay and rations.

The imperial censor who reported the Wu family even handed over evidence, and this incident shocked the government and the public.

Liu Moyan looked at Censor Zhao, wondering whether he was Pei Shuo's man, or was being used by Pei Shuo to come here and sue the Wu family.

Liu Moyan was neither anxious nor angry. She followed the plan and just said that the matter was of great importance and required His Majesty's decision, and temporarily suppressed the matter.

After the court session, she went to see the emperor and told him the matter carefully.

The emperor was clear-headed and refreshed today. When he saw the evidence, he snorted coldly and threw it on the ground.

"The Queen is very cautious."

Upon hearing this, Liu Moyan immediately knelt down and apologized.

The emperor snorted coldly: "Whether you are loyal or not, I know it in my heart. Some people, once given some power, will forget their own reasons and forget whose dog they are."

Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry, Liu Moyan fainted at the right time.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, but still carried the man to the bed and waited for the imperial physician to come and see him.

Not long after, the imperial physician came to diagnose the situation and said that the Empress was already three months pregnant. "Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to Your Majesty."

The emperor was also overjoyed when he heard this. Over the past five years, his harem had been like a possessed beast. Even though he had countless beauties and concubines, few of them could get pregnant.

After Liu Moyan had a miscarriage caused by the former queen, there has been no news since then.

Unexpectedly, she was pregnant. The emperor was overjoyed and asked the doctor, "Is the baby a boy or a girl?"

The doctor said cautiously, "It's still early this month. If you want to know the gender of the baby, you'll have to wait a few more days."

The emperor nodded and said he hoped this was a prince.

The imperial physician's forehead was covered with sweat. How could they decide such a matter? But if the emperor wanted it to be so, then it must be so.

Because of the news that the queen was pregnant, subtle changes took place in the court.

Before, some people were thinking that if the emperor continued to take pills like this, he might die one day.

If there is no son at that time, one must be adopted from the clan to inherit the throne.

Even though there had been unpleasantness over the adoption issue before, which resulted in several clan members dying of inexplicable illness, ambitious people were still thinking about this matter. Now, when they suddenly heard the news, the clan members had complicated feelings.

Soon, people from inside and outside the palace came to inquire about the news, wanting to find out whether the queen was pregnant or it was fake news, and whether it was a boy or a girl.

The emperor took this opportunity to publicize the matter to the world, and then the Wu family's affairs were suppressed.

The censor who sued the Wu family suddenly fell ill and was unable to attend court.

In order to allow Censor Zhao to recuperate at ease, the court also sent some compensation money to him so that he could rest and recuperate at home.

This is because they are afraid that he will be stubborn and continue to cause trouble.

Censor Zhao, however, was resting in bed recuperating. After the visitors left, another person came out of the room. It was Liu Tong.

Censor Zhao immediately got up from the bed and said, "I have impeached the matter as ordered by the prince. But the emperor easily suppressed the matter. What should we do next?"

Liu Tong smiled and said, "From now on, you should take good care of yourself and wait until the storm has passed before going back. Don't worry about other things and stay indoors."

Censor Zhao knew what he meant, and Liu Tong stuffed some more banknotes into his pocket. Censor Zhao was about to refuse, but Liu Tong said, "This is what the prince meant. Thanks to your forbearance and dedication over the years, the prince was able to return to the capital smoothly. Don't worry, your loyalty to the prince is clear to him."

However, Censor Zhao said, "If the Duke hadn't rescued us, our Zhao family would have been destroyed long ago. Now, these are what I should do. I think that bastard emperor won't have much time left. Even if the queen has a child, it's hard to say whether it can grow up after it is born."

Since ancient times, among the child emperors who ascended the throne, how many could grow up smoothly and maintain a stable regime?

Liu Tong smiled, patted his shoulder, and left quietly.

Xu Yao stayed at home all day and didn't go out. He was really bored, so he went to see Doctor Qu to study medicinal materials.

Old Man Qu: "What did you learn from the South Sea Pioneer? Why not share it with me so that I can improve my medical skills."

"I've been with Nanhai Xianweng, sleeping and eating all day, and helping to clean the Taoist temple. I haven't learned any useful skills. If you really want to know, I can introduce you two to each other when Nanhai Xianweng arrives."

Old Man Qu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This is serious."

Xu Yao nodded, then shook his head.

Old Man Qu's face fell immediately, "What do you mean?"

Xu Yao stretched out his hand: "Referral fee, you don't think I want to help you out of thin air, do you?"

Old Man Qu glared, "You're really greedy for money, and you're paying for something like this."

Xu Yao snorted and laughed: "When you asked me for money, I didn't even bat an eyelid and paid it immediately. Why is it that I can't get money from you?"

"How can I compare with you? You are a robber, so you have no shortage of money in your pocket. Where can I get money as an old doctor who treats patients honestly? Unless I have a black heart and cheat patients. Such a vicious thing is against medical ethics, I can't do it."

Old Man Qu may be greedy for money and selfish, but his medical ethics are pretty good. At least he never uses his medical skills to harm others.
