I rely on food to guide the whole harem

Qi Yangui got Tang Yinjiang's promise, and with Tang Jiu's help, he returned to Qingning Palace in a deceptive way.

Thinking of her eyes that were as clear as water, he felt a little guilty. She would not know that her act of introducing him into the hall might bring him a fatal disaster.

I finally pulled you into this vortex, I'm sorry, all I can do is try my best to keep you safe, so you can't hide where I can't see.

Qi Yangui silently apologized in his heart, and told Tang Jiu to pay more attention to Tang Yinjiang's side, and report back in time if there is any crisis.

Tang Jiu didn't understand, "It's just a court lady, why bother Your Highness?"

Qi Yan fell silent, hiding the throbbing and pity in his chest, and turned to talk about another matter: "I got some news that has not been confirmed. Concubine Liu has been investigating some old events in the palace for her. , Tang Chao was found before."

Tang Jiu was startled, "Master?"

"She may be...the daughter of the Tang Dynasty living abroad."

The queen has no children, and she has no interest in the turmoil of the princes and the history of the emperor. The thing she pays most attention to recently is the case of Concubine Yue.

After these days of repeated questioning, the concubine Yue and the imperial physician who had just said they were being imprisoned were willing to recruit, but the two at the other end were suddenly poisoned and died.

There have been no poisoning incidents for so many years, and there have been two incidents in a short period of time. After inspection, both of them died of the same poison.

The queen was furious, and said that she must find out this person who was disturbing the wind and rain in the harem.

And Concubine Shu has been wandering outside Panyue Palace for a long time at this time, suffering from the closure of the palace by His Majesty, unable to see Concubine Yue, so she can only send some food and clothing to Concubine Yue.

When she left full of sorrow, she saw that the guards and eunuchs were changing, and the newcomer lowered his head, only showing the lower half of his face. Concubine Shu looked very familiar, who is it?She thought hard.

Inside Pan Yue Palace, Concubine Yue looked at the person in front of her madly, "You are finally here, I miss you so much, hehehe."

The new eunuch raised his head, and it was Song Chi who grabbed Concubine Yue's wrist and said harshly, "Where's the jade pendant?"

Concubine Yue's wrist was in pain from being grabbed, her face showed pain, "Woo, Yueyue hurts."

"Don't pretend to be crazy for me, let me ask you where is the jade pendant?"

"Ah——" Concubine Yue screamed and shook off Song Chi's hand, ran to the courtyard and repeated to He Ye, "Forever, never to be separated. Forever, never to be separated."

Song Chi heard the oath he said at the beginning, and became angry from embarrassment. He rushed up to clamp her neck, and slowly locked his palms, "Don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for not aborting the child."

Concubine Yue looked at his face and shed two lines of clear tears.

There was a fierce knock on the door, "Open the door—I want to go in to see Concubine Yue!" Concubine Shu finally remembered where she had seen the eunuch, and rushed back, slamming on the door loudly regardless of her appearance.

Song Chi had no choice but to stop and go out to open the door for Concubine Shu.

"Where is Concubine Yue? I want to see Concubine Yue."

Song Chi replied in a high-pitched voice pretending to be a eunuch: "Go back to your mother, your majesty has ordered that the concubine Yue is not allowed to visit."

"Concubine Yue is just sick and grounded, and His Majesty hasn't demoted her. She is still Concubine Yue. I suspect that you are secretly spoiling her. If you don't see Concubine Yue well today, I won't leave. You can report to Your Majesty. I'm not afraid, come here!"

Concubine Shu came to Tanyue Concubine to act in a low-key manner, and only brought a big maid by her side, and the maid was about to go outside to call for someone. Seeing this, Song Chi compromised and said: "Your Majesty, just go in and meet, don't embarrass me anymore." Embarrassing slave."

As soon as Concubine Shu entered the door, she saw that the usual magnificent Panyue Palace was already looking very dilapidated not long ago, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.

When I found the shivering concubine Yue behind the small bushes in the courtyard, my heart ached even more.

She carefully embraced Concubine Yue into her arms and comforted her softly, "Sister, I'm here, don't be afraid."

"Forever and ever, we will never be separated." Concubine Yue would only repeat this sentence. Concubine Shu was about to ask a few more questions when Song Chi came in and asked her to go out.

"Your Majesty has seen with her own eyes that there is nothing serious about Concubine Yue, please don't make things difficult for this servant."

Concubine Shu took out her dignified appearance, and was about to reprimand her, when she felt a piece of ice was stuffed into her hand, and that hand gently pressed her palm.

Then look at the familiar eunuch still with his head down, his expression unpredictable.

"Take good care of Concubine Yue. If there is anything wrong with her, I will not let you off." Concubine Shu flicked her sleeves, used them to hide the jade pendant, and walked towards the big palace maid who was waiting at the door.

Seeing Concubine Shu walk in front of her, with her back turned to him, one step, two steps and three steps, Song Chi was secretly lucky.

The imperial examination room, which is a general examination held every three years, where the candidates who have passed the three trials from all over the country will prove their talents here.This election is the Jinshi and the first stepping stone to obtain a high-ranking official position.

This examination is particularly different. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally oversees the examination, which shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to this scientific examination.

It's cold in the spring, and it's still in the cold north like Beijing. In order not to affect the test results due to frostbite, all the candidates are covered with quilts, as if they are going to enter the examination room for the winter.

A group of examinees took off their clothes in front of the gate of the Gongyuan and checked thoroughly before being put into the examination room. Every year, an unknown number of people get wind and cold during the examination, and are carried out halfway through the examination.

Qi Yangui saw those figures trembling in the cold wind, and ordered people to add a few pots of charcoal fire to the examination room.

"His Royal Highness is here—"

All the people in the room knelt down, "The minister/caomin see His Royal Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

"You don't have to be cautious, just play normally."

"Yes."

Even so, the examinees were still very excited to see the face of the current crown prince, who still looked like a fairy, and some of them lost their footsteps after getting up. Entering the number room to prepare for layout, this attracted Qi Yangui's attention.

It is said that it is an invigilation, but in fact it is mainly presided over by the Ministry of Rites. Qi Yangui's sitting is a symbolic meaning. This matter will cause competition among the princes, or is it to be able to cultivate people of insight among the examinees to cultivate their own influence .

Old foxes who have been in court for a long time are not easy to fool, and newcomers who have just entered the officialdom are not easy to buy?

As the exam started, someone brought a pot of hot tea to Qi Yangui, of course he would not just sit like this, but began to patrol the exam room.This time the test questions were also made by him himself, and he wanted to screen the talents he wanted.

Qi Yangui frowned and walked from room to room, causing great psychological pressure on the candidates.Finally, he came to the side of the person who was very calm just now——

Good answer!It is this handwriting, which is too crafty and lacks a bit of character.

Then he turned his gaze to that person's face, and saw that his face was unmoved as usual, and his writing was still flying. This kind of mentality is very rare.

Qi Yangui curled the corners of his lips lightly, who speaks words like this person?Books are clumsy, but the heart of a gentleman and a villain should not be disturbed. ①

Another person died from the same poison as the last poisoning incident. Last time, all the people involved in the case were called away by the Queen. This time, she will personally investigate.

Xiaotao, the imperial chef who made Concubine Ning's cup of milk tea, all the palace people who had seen that cup of milk tea in Concubine Ning's palace were there, only Tang Yinjiang was called away by Concubine Shu first.

"I need your help."

"What can this servant help Concubine Shu?" Tang Yinjiang was vigilant, he didn't come here for Concubine Yue's affairs, right?Concubine Yue is crazy, so it's impossible.

"It's about Concubine Yue", after Concubine Shu finished speaking, she retreated from the crowd and was alone in the palace with Tang Yinjiang.

Sure enough, it was her again, and her ghost lingered.Tang Yinjiang secretly groaned, "Ms. Concubine Shu, I can swear that milk tea really can't make people pregnant!"

Concubine Shu walked down and helped Tang Yinjiang up with her own hands, "I know, but I hope you can say that milk tea has this effect."

How is that possible, then I won't be squeezed dry by those concubines? "This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the servants will be forgiven."

"I have a fight with Sister Yuefei. If I don't help her, no one will speak for her again."

"The servant girl said a disrespectful word. The concubine Yue has... Even if it is confirmed that she is pregnant, nothing can be redeemed. Or is it that the concubine Shu wants to use this incident to hurt the empress imperial concubine?"

"The concubine Yue's son was not harmed by the imperial concubine."

Um?Tang Yinjiang was shocked, what else is going on here?

"At that time, I will go to testify myself. All you have to do is to admit that Concubine Yue is pregnant."

"Isn't it okay for the empress to ask the imperial physician or the maid next to the concubine Yue?" It is not logical. If a concubine is pregnant, she can ask a maid from the imperial dining room to testify?

"Because Concubine Yue is already three months pregnant."

She had heard about this, because Concubine Yue insisted that she was pregnant after drinking milk tea, and the imperial physician announced that she was pregnant for a month.

Let her be widowed, so, she has been pregnant for a long time, and she didn't report it, and she gave the pot to milk tea-this, the emperor is green?

What Concubine Shu said next confirmed Tang Yinjiang's conjecture that the emperor had not favored Concubine Yue for four months...

Tang Yinjiang's eyes widened.

Ah this?So the concubine who has not been favored for four months has a cup of milk tea, and everyone still believes it?Is there a problem with me or is there a problem in your world?

"Because no concubine has conceived in the palace for ten years, Your Majesty asked many experts to calculate it, and they all said it was a curse. I don't know who cursed it. I only know that those experts were all executed by Your Majesty. No one dared to discuss it.”

"Concubine Qi is pregnant, His Majesty is overjoyed, she also loves your milk tea for some reason, and when His Majesty asked the imperial physician to examine how she is different from others, she suddenly raised her mouth. So Concubine Yue said that she was pregnant after drinking milk tea Your Majesty has no doubts about the matter, perhaps he is also looking forward to the curse being broken."

It is said that the emperor is the son of heaven, what will happen if the heaven is dissatisfied with the "son of heaven"?

Since the founding of the Daqi Dynasty, although the emperor has made great efforts to govern, he has changed the tyranny/government of the Liang Dynasty and reduced taxes.However, due to natural disasters all over the country, the people are still in dire straits. It is not that no one suspected that the emperor provoked the wrath of heaven.

At this time in the remote countryside, the local farmers were hard at work planting spring in the fields. Suddenly, there was an earthquake, and the gravel on the mountain kept rolling down. The land was cracked inch by inch, and countless cracks spread from the ground.

"The earth dragon has turned over—"
