"Are you full?"

Qin Sui glanced at Yu Ning, who was quietly touching his stomach beside him, with a smile in his eyes.

When they came out, they could still hear the voice from Changle Palace, Yu Ning wanted to look back, but was dragged away by Qin Sui.

"I'm full." Yu Ning moved closer to Qin Sui, lowered his voice and asked him: "Your Majesty, what are we going to Changle Palace this time?"

Is it just for the empress dowager?

"I'll tell you when it's done."

Qin Sui glanced at him with a smile, and asked again: "Do you think this commotion is big?"

Thinking of the Empress Dowager Xuan's face about to go crazy, Yu Ning couldn't help laughing, nodded and asked again: "Then shall we block the news? It may be harmful to His Majesty if this matter gets out of the palace."

"No need."

Unexpectedly, Qin Sui shook his head and refused, with deep meaning in his eyes: "The bigger this matter is, the better."

Yu Ning couldn't understand what Qin Sui was going to do more and more, he was curious, so he told Xiao Linzi privately that he must tell himself immediately if there is any news.

Unexpectedly, just after he finished his breakfast the next day, Xiao Linzi came in with the news he had just inquired about.

He used to work in the Palace of Qinzheng and had always been on good terms with other eunuchs, so he told him immediately.

"Your Highness, this servant just heard the news from Xiaoluzi. It is said that His Majesty announced it this morning."

Yu Ning's eyes brightened: "What?"

"It should be about the corruption case in Sendai County."

Xiao Linzi pondered and said: "The imperial court has been arguing over this matter for the past two days. Today, His Majesty directly promulgated a decree, saying that the two juniors of Yu's family will be pardoned and only demoted."

"How could it be?" Yu Ning called out in disbelief, his expression couldn't help being nervous, "What happened later?"

Xiao Linzi showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Later, Master Yu and other opposition groups strongly opposed it, but His Majesty suppressed it."

"Your Majesty also said that the Xuan family is the Empress Dowager's mother's family, and Xuan Guogong is his maternal grandfather. The younger generation made mistakes, so just correct them."

If it wasn't for what Xiao Linzi said so confidently, Yu Ning would have doubted whether the Qin Sui he said he knew was the same person.

Yu Ning frowned slightly, and asked again: "Then what about the rest of the people? What about the Du family?"

"The rest of the people involved in the case will be killed directly, and the Du family will be exiled for three thousand miles, and will never be allowed to return to Beijing."

Yuning was taken aback again.

Qin Sui really gave him this face...

Another month passed like this, and everything went smoothly, except Princess Wen Qing's marriage to the eldest son of the Kalan clan.

Princess Wen Qing's wedding was fully handled by the palace. On the day of the wedding, Yu Ning and Qin Sui watched the team leave, and the scene was very grand.

Qin Sui was very kind to this younger sister, and directly sent her five hundred soldiers, and also sent He Hong to follow her all the way.

Before He Lang left, Yu Ning met him, and couldn't bear to ask: "Do you want His Majesty to go with someone else?"

It would be too cruel to say to He Lang that he personally sent his beloved woman to marry.

"No need." He Lang smiled at him, unable to hide his disappointment.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see her again. I want to see her off for the last time. What's more, I'm going to the grassland to find medicine for His Majesty."

Naturally, Yuning couldn't say anything more.

Sending He Lang and Princess Wen Qing away, Yu Ning only felt that there was nothing around him, but Qin Sui still looked like that, and would occasionally talk about Prince Rong with him, and the words were all joking.

"Prince Rong loves this pair of siblings very much. He loves them every day and sings every night. I heard that the woman has been promoted as a side concubine."

"Side concubine?" Yu Ning was startled, "Won't Queen Mother Xuan be angry?"

"So what if you're angry? She's beyond her reach, and the left and right can't manage the affairs of Prince Rong's mansion."

Qin Sui raised his eyebrows and said: "What's more, I took the initiative to send the memorial to Changle Palace in the past two days. She is busy dealing with court affairs, how can she have the time to take care of it?"

"When she is free, the woman may already be pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Yu Ning was dumbfounded: "So soon?"

Wouldn't the Empress Dowager be pissed off after hearing this?

"I tried my best to hand over the assisted pregnancy prescription from the palace to her. Whether she uses it or not is entirely up to her."

Yuning didn't even have to think about it.

The opportunity was presented to the siblings, how could they not use it?

Yuning couldn't help but marvel: "Your Majesty is amazing."

Unexpectedly, Qin Sui paused when he heard his words, and his long and narrow eyes looked over gently, the emotions inside were complicated and hard to discern.

He was silent and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

To play with people's hearts like this, anyone would be afraid that such a method will be used on themselves one day, right?

"Why are you afraid?" Yu Ning's eyes showed puzzlement: "The choice is their own choice. Both His Majesty and his concubines have given them opportunities. Since they have chosen such a path, they will inevitably have to pay more. "

For example, with this pregnancy, even if Qin Sui didn't take action, they would still find ways to conceive to consolidate their position.

Qin Sui didn't speak any more, his eyes fell back on the book in his hand, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

However, the woman became pregnant faster than the two expected. However, in January, spies from the Prince Rong's mansion sent news that the concubine was found to be pregnant from the medicine residue in the Prince Rong's mansion. He kept it a secret.

"Does the Empress Dowager know?" Yu Ning now particularly wants to know the Empress Dowager Xuan's reaction.

"Of course I told her as soon as I got the chance." Qin Sui smiled slightly, "Prince Rong has already entered the palace this afternoon."

After a pause, he asked, "Want to watch a play?"

"What do you think?" Yu Ning's eyes lit up.

Qin Sui glanced at him with a smile: "I sent people to block people at the gate of Changle Palace, and when Prince Rong comes out, I will invite him over."

Yuning nodded excitedly, but couldn't help but slander her, it seems that she has been turned into a lotus with a black heart by Qin Sui.

He couldn't wait to see people laugh!

What a sin.

Yu Ning muttered a word in his heart, then got up and said: "Your Majesty, let's send someone there now."

Qin Sui chuckled, and then called Wen Ting over.

The two waited for half an hour before they heard the news that Prince Rong had come.

Wen Ting personally sent someone to invite him, saying that His Majesty wanted to discuss with Prince Rong about military matters in the Northwest.

It was related to the Northwest military affairs that I cared most about, even if Prince Rong just wanted to go back to the mansion quickly, he had no choice but to hold his nose and get on the sedan chair.

When the sound of the announcement came, Yu Ning couldn't help but sit up straight, stretched his neck and looked out.

Seeing this, Qin Sui couldn't help being speechless, "You're putting on a show anyway."

While speaking, Prince Rong came in, and he bowed to salute without looking up.

Qin Sui quickly asked someone to give him a seat.

Prince Rong paused, and after sitting down, he finally raised his head, "I don't know what your majesty wants to do with this humble minister..."

As soon as Prince Rong raised his head, Yu Ning saw his appearance clearly at this moment, and couldn't help being taken aback.

His former elegance has disappeared, and half of the red palm marks are impressively visible on that handsome side face, and there are even small wounds from some sharp objects.

Yu Ning squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and was sure that it should be the ring worn by the Empress Dowager Xuan.

Empress Dowager Xuan is indeed Qin Sui's mother, she is really a ruthless person.

Hitting people without slapping them in the face, letting the majestic Prince Rong be watched all the way with a slap in the face... It's not just physical pain anymore.

For a face-saving person like Prince Rong, the humiliation would be even worse.

At this moment, Qin Sui let out a false exclamation appropriately.

"What's wrong with Uncle Huang? Who dares to hurt Uncle Huang like this? Come quickly!"

"Your Majesty, there's no need..." Prince Rong hurriedly got up to stop him, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty accidentally fell on a rock..."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was a slap print, and thanks to his thick skin, he was able to open his eyes and speak nonsense.

"Then the emperor can rest at home for the next few days, and there is no need to come to court." Qin Sui looked at him with a half-smile, but did not expose it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." His words hit Prince Rong's arms, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Even if Qin Sui didn't say anything, he would have to take a leave of absence for the next few days. After losing such a big face, he didn't plan to go to court until the wound on his face healed.

"I heard that His Majesty is looking for ministers to discuss important matters..." Prince Rong looked at Yu Ning who was at the side, his eyes hesitating.

"It's not a big deal, it doesn't matter if the Empress is here." Qin Sui smiled slightly and said, "I just want to inform Uncle Huang. General Nie will return to Beijing from the northwest to report on his duties in a few days, and Uncle Huang will be in charge of related matters at that time."

"Yes." The smile on Prince Rong's face froze, and he got up to salute.

Everyone in the court knew that Nie Gaolang was not on good terms with him, but Qin Sui even arranged for him to greet him, saying that it was not on purpose, who would believe it?

But this matter has already been pushed in front of him, so it is not easy to refuse.

Prince Rong held his nose in response.

It was already evening when Prince Rong was sent away, Qin Sui hypocritically kept him here for dinner, Prince Rong found a reason to refuse, and Qin Sui let him go back to his residence.

Taking advantage of the time when the palace people were serving dishes, Yuning couldn't help but ask Qin Sui: "The General Nie that His Majesty is talking about, but the General Nie Gaolang who guards the northwest?"

Nie Shi's family is full of loyalty and heroism. Almost every generation has guarded the border and died in battle. His heroic deeds have been passed down for many years.

When Yu Ning was still in Changzhou County, he had heard the story of General Nie killing the enemy and admired him very much.

Among the people, the reputation of the Nie family is much better than that of the tyrant Qin Sui.

In fact, it was also because of the strong support of the Nie family that Qin Sui, who had long been known as a tyrant, did not receive much scolding among the people.

That's the person supported by General Nie, how bad can it be?

"Not bad." Qin Sui nodded in agreement.

"He's going back to Beijing?" Yu Ning couldn't help flashing a trace of anticipation in his eyes.

"Are you happy?" Qin Sui's eyes darkened when he saw the undisguised surprise on his face.

Sensing his displeasure, Yu Ning couldn't help but pause, and asked him: "Is General Nie one of His Majesty's people?"

Qin Sui said "Yes": "The Nie family has been loyal to the emperor for generations, even though the first emperor had suspicions and restrictions on them, they have not changed their loyalty."

"As expected of General Nie..." Knowing that he belonged to Qin Sui, Yu Ning felt relieved and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Qin Sui's eyes became darker.

"How long will General Nie stay in Beijing this time?"

"The border has been quiet recently, and the son of General Nie is still guarding it. He will probably stay there for a few months." Qin Sui's voice was flat, but when he mentioned the words "son of General Nie", his tone became more serious.

"Really?" Yu Ning didn't realize it, and asked in surprise, and then sighed with some regret.

"The concubine also wants to see the demeanor of General Nie."

Qin Sui: "..."

Just after dinner, Qin Sui ordered someone to put out the chessboard, and Wen Ting came in.

He had something to report, so he leaned over and whispered something in Qin Sui's ear.

"Understood, don't worry about it." Qin Sui raised his eyebrows slightly, gave a light instruction, and concentrated on playing with the chess pieces in his hand.

Yuning only thought that it was some important matter of the court, and didn't dare to inquire about it. He was concentrating on the chessboard in front of him, when he suddenly heard Qin Sui speak lightly.

"Prince Rong's side concubine died. I heard that she fell into the lake while feeding the fish. Both mother and child died."

As soon as the words fell, the chess piece in Yu Ning's hand fell onto the chessboard with a "bang".

"Was... who did it?" Yu Ning's voice trembled a little, obviously he couldn't accept it.

Even though he was prepared, he didn't expect her to strike so quickly.

"Who else but her?"

Qin Sui handed over a cup of tea, and said: "My mother, the queen, pretends to be the most magnanimous on the surface, but in fact she has a very small heart. All the concubines with princes in the father's palace were cleaned up by her, let alone a mere honor. Prince."

"It's too ruthless..." Yu Ning held the hot tea in his hand, and finally felt a little more at ease.

The Empress Dowager Xuan is like a poisonous snake with its fangs shining all the time, and she will unceremoniously bite any opponent who invades even a tiny bit of her territory.

Yu Ning couldn't help worrying: "Your Majesty, if we calculate her like this, will we be retaliated against..."

"I'm here, what are you afraid of?" Qin Sui asked him calmly.

If it was a few years ago, Qin Sui might not be able to guarantee it, but now he is sure.

Although there are some deviations from the original plan, it is generally consistent...

"With His Majesty here, my concubines are not afraid." Yu Ning bit her lip, and immediately said firmly.

He and Qin Sui have long been grasshoppers on the same rope, not to mention, he has long been determined in his heart that he will always be by his side.

Qin Sui curled his lips, didn't say anything, just patted Yuning on the head.

"It hurts." Yu Ning hugged her head aggrievedly.

"I'm in a good mood, let's go, I'll take you to see something interesting." Qin Sui got up and ordered Wen Ting to bring two sets of clothes for Yuning to change into.

"Are we going out of the palace?" Yu Ning's eyes lit up, full of excitement.

"Ah."

There is a night market in Daxia, and today is the fifteenth day, so the capital is naturally very lively.

Qin Sui took Yuning to find a restaurant and went in, instead of going upstairs to the private room, he found an inconspicuous place in the lobby and sat down.

He ordered two jars of Huadiao wine, a few stacks of side dishes, and ordered the waiter to exchange some broken silver.

"Your Majesty, are we... wanting to listen to books?" Yu Ning looked around blankly, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Qin Sui's gourd.

"Not bad." Qin Sui poured two glasses of wine, looked at the storyteller walking not far away with a smile, "Listen."

Yuning turned her head and looked at the storyteller sitting in the middle of the restaurant lobby.

"Hello, guests, today we will continue to talk about Mrs. Hua's life and past."

The storyteller took a sip of tea, and then began to talk about the so-called "Mrs. Hua" vividly.

Yuning listened for a long time, and finally felt something was wrong. He looked at Qin Sui who was leaning on the pillar and closed his eyes and dozed off in disbelief: "Your Majesty, this is about...the Empress Dowager Xuan?"

"If you think it is, then it is." Qin Sui opened his eyes with a hint of drunkenness.

Yu Ning couldn't help listening to the follow-up.

The storyteller in the classroom continued to tell the latest stories.

"Mrs. Hua called her son over crying, throwing things and throwing things, and finally forced her son to pardon the children of her mother's family. Poor Mrs. Hua said at first that he would severely punish corruption and complain for the people, but his mother had no choice but to beg him." Pardoned the important criminals from Mrs. Hua's natal family...and made him blame himself..."

After the words were finished, there was a lot of shouting and scolding from the audience, and some even dropped a few glasses in anger.

The shop waiter came over to deliver the wine, and said with a smile: "The play "Mrs. Hua" is the most popular play in the restaurant recently. Every time it is mentioned, many guests come to listen to it. I heard that it has spread to other states. County. Is this the first time for the guests?"

Yuning nodded, hesitantly stuffed a silver coin into the arms of the waiter, and asked him: "I wonder who made up this play?"

"I don't know, that person is very mysterious. He only sends a notebook to each restaurant every half a month for each restaurant to copy." The waiter shook his head, then looked around, and whispered: "Guests, please don't spread the word. But I heard that Mrs. Hua is actually talking about the Empress Dowager Xuan of our court..."

Hearing this, Yu Ning couldn't help but look at Qin Sui who was beside him with a faint smile on his lips.

Your Majesty, you are still ruthless.

It is not something ordinary people can do to personally arrange the scandalous history of one's own mother.

After the shop waiter left, Qin Sui said again: "Tomorrow there will be a new play, which tells the story of Mrs. Hua being jealous and murdering her lover and concubines."

"Do you still want to listen?" Qin Sui smiled at Yuning.

Yu Ning trembled: "Forget it."

He has seen it live, and he is not in the mood to listen to it again.

"By the way, guess who I asked to write this script?" Qin Sui asked again.

Yu Ning was still caught in this wonderful drama, and he replied casually after hearing the words: "It can't be the person who wrote "The Domineering Demon Fox and the Pretty Scholar", right?"

Qin Sui froze for a moment, then laughed and said, "You're really smart."

Yuning: "..."

Really? !
