The concubine is extremely cautious

Qianxin Palace.

Helian Qi looked at the two memorials in front of him with an expressionless face.

One was a report on the Southwest War, in which Wei Yonghou and his son were defeated and died.

The other was a petition from the Wei family requesting the court to confer the title on Marquis Weiyong's younger brother.

"Your Majesty, Lady Ying greets you." Wang Degui hurried in to report.

Helian Qi looked away from the memorial, his expression showing no emotion, and said, "Let her in."

"Your Majesty, I am here to pay my respects to you. This is a new snack that I made, called Snow Puff. Please enjoy it, Your Majesty!" Wei Yingya excitedly presented the cake.

Helian Qi handed the Southwest War Report on the table to Wang Degui and said, "Give it to Miss Ying."

Wei Yingya's eyes widened. What? You want me to read the memorial?

Have I finally started the journey of intervening in politics and offering suggestions, which is a must for a time-traveling heroine?

At this moment, Wei Yingya quickly reviewed the high school history knowledge in her mind, but she was not sure that her fragmentary historical knowledge could help her propose any amazing national policies to the emperor like the heroine in the novel.

Isn’t it a bit too difficult to let female college students govern the country?

Wei Yingya opened the memorial with mixed feelings, and when she saw the words "military intelligence", her eyes darkened.

Ancient wars? I've never fought in a war.

Can you cope with it by memorizing a few strategies?

Wei Yingya quickly went through the empty city plan, borrowing arrows from a straw boat, and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west in her mind, and continued to look down:

"...Wei Chi, the Marquis of Wei Yong, died in battle..."

Hey, isn't this her father?

Wei Yingya continued to read with eyes wide open. In this battle, Wei Yonghou was defeated, and he and his three sons were killed in the battle...

The original owner's father and brother are all gone...

Wei Yingya had no feelings for these family members whom she had never met, but considering that she was a daughter of the Wei family, she rolled her eyes, pretended to faint and fell down on the spot.

"Your Majesty, Lady Ying fainted due to excessive grief..." Wang Degui said sympathetically.

"Send her back and call the imperial physician." Helian Qi waved his hand.

Wei Yingya was carried back.

Helian Qi wrote in vermilion on the petition for the title.

Since Wei Yingya pleased him so much, he gave the Wei family a chance some time ago.

But Wei Chi did not take the high branch handed to him by the emperor...

He is still wavering between the Xue and Cen families, sitting on the fence.

finally……

It was his own fault that he ended up like this.

As for Wei Yingya, she is talented and interesting, but as greedy and stupid as her father.

He wanted the emperor's favor, but did not dare to offend the two officials.

It's a pity that she has so much talent.

……

Wei Yingya lay in Haitangju until midnight before she dared to open her eyes.

The imperial physician came to see her, but couldn't see anything wrong with her. He could only say that she had fallen into a coma due to excessive fear.

"Master, you are finally awake... The Marquis and the Young Master..." Qiu Kui stayed beside Wei Yingya's bed, her eyes swollen like walnuts from crying.

Wei Yingya couldn't cry. She pretended to be shocked and looked dazed, "Dad... Brother..."

"Master, please take the tranquilizer quickly and don't be too sad..." Qiu Kui said quickly.

Wei Yingya drank a bowl of medicine and fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, in a daze, I heard Qiu Kui talking to a palace maid.

"My master is so sad, but she can't burn paper money for the Marquis and the Young Master to show her filial piety. She must feel very guilty... Sister Qiu Kui, I have a brother who works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He can secretly bring some paper money in for my master..."

Qiu Kui was at a loss for a moment, "If this is discovered, it will be over..."

"No one will find out. Just wait until midnight and burn it secretly. No one will know..." said the palace maid.

Wei Yingya, who was feeling a little sleepy due to the tranquilizer, woke up immediately.

Burning paper in the palace?

Isn't this the common practice of seeking one's own death in palace fighting dramas?

Not to mention that this is not her father, even if her biological father died, she would not burn paper in the palace. Filial piety, can these pieces of paper express it?

True filial piety does not mean risking your own life for these meaningless things.

"What nonsense! Burning paper in the palace is a curse on the Queen Mother and the Emperor. It's disrespectful!" Wei Yingya sat up from the bed and looked at the palace maid coldly:

"Who are you? Why would you come up with such an idea to harm others?"

The maid was so scared that she fell to her knees and argued, "I am a second-class maid in Haitangju. I have been serving you since the beauty entered the palace. I am loyal to you. I just don't want the beauty to be upset, so I resorted to this desperate measure... It's all my fault for being stupid. Please spare my life, master."

Qiu Kui also looked at Wei Yingya, "Master, she has always been diligent, and she must have good intentions..."

"Tie her up and send her to the Criminal Justice Department for interrogation." Wei Yingya said decisively.

She didn't believe that the palace maid brought up such a matter of losing her head out of kindness.

Someone must have instructed her to harm herself!

Fortunately, she has watched 1131 episodes of palace fighting drama, with a Tomato reading time of , and is knowledgeable and experienced.

Otherwise, with the original owner's brain, and the misfortune of her father and brother dying in battle, Wei Yingya estimated that she would be fooled...

"Master, please spare my life..." The maid screamed and cried as she was dragged away.

Wei Yingya was no longer sleepy and looked at Qiu Kui and said:

"Keep a close eye on our Haitangju these days. Paper money must not appear. Otherwise, someone might take advantage of my sadness and plot to harm us..."

It was the first time Qiu Kui saw her master act so vigorously and decisively. She nodded absentmindedly, "I understand. I will keep a close eye on it..."

……

A few days later, in Lingxue Pavilion.

Ning Wanyin and Helian Qi sat in front of the windowsill playing chess.

Ever since Marquis Weiyong died, Lady Ying was heartbroken, and Helian Qi never saw her again.

He only needed the happiness that Ying Meiren brought him, and he didn't want to care about her sad part.

This is the emperor's coldness and ruthlessness.

Concubines brought him happiness, not trouble.

"Your Majesty, something happened! The Concubine Shu found banned items in Haitangju and sent someone to ask for your permission. Your Majesty, please come over." Wang Degui hurried in to report.

Helian Qi frowned and threw down the chess piece in his hand. "Let's go to Haitangju."

Ning Wanyin accompanied the emperor and followed him.

Today is the seventh day after the death of Wei Yingya’s father’s brother.

The originally magnificent Haitangju, now plain and elegant, was now tightly surrounded by palace maids brought by Concubine Shu.

Wei Yingya, wearing a light-colored long dress and looking haggard, argued loudly:

"I was framed! I didn't curse His Majesty or the Queen Mother!"

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Wang Degui nodded.

Concubine Shu bowed to Helian Qifu and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you. I received a report from a maid in Haitangju, saying that Lady Ying was secretly practicing witchcraft and cursing your Majesty and the Queen Mother. So I sent people to search and found this stolen goods!"

Pearl presented a pair of voodoo dolls.

There were two dolls, one male and one female, with the names of the emperor and the empress dowager written on them in cinnabar and pierced with silver needles, making them look very scary.

"Your Majesty is wise. Someone is framing me! I didn't..." Wei Yingya knelt down anxiously in front of Helian Qi to defend herself.

She was furious.

I just avoided the paper money trap a few days ago, but I didn’t expect to fall into the trap again today.

The road to the harem is truly one of death at every step.
