After searching the mansion, Shen Xinyan was more certain that something must have happened in the palace. Since He Peng dared to come under the banner of 'acting according to the order', it can be seen that the 'will' was true, but she was not sure whether the will was true or not. from the original intention of the person who gave the order.

Above the court, the prince gradually weakened. Although he was still in the name of supervising the country, his control over the court was not as strong as before. On the contrary, the number of supporters of the second prince and the third prince is increasing, especially the second prince, whose momentum is even close to the prince, and there are Queen Zhou and Concubine Shu behind them.

With the full support of the prince, he has the stance of taking the prince and replacing him.

Emperor Yuanyou's condition was still repeated, and it was reported that he was drowsy more often. Shen Xinyan only heard it from Wei Chengzhao's mouth, and he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

After Wei Chengzhao made a marriage plan with Yang's niece, Wei Junhang took the lead and found an errand for him at the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses. According to Wei Junhang's meaning, he planned to train him, so that he could add a powerful helper to Wei Chenglin in the future.

Even for Wei Chengyue and Wei Chengqi, Wei Junhang also had an arrangement in his heart, but before he could act, Wei Chenglin disappeared, and then Rong Di went south.

Wei Chengzhao also knew that it was an extraordinary period, so he went back to the house on time every day after leaving the yamen. It was also at this time that Shen Xinyan realized that Yang's son was actually no less smart than her eldest son Wei Chenglin, and even more low-key and sleek than Wei Chenglin.

Wei Chengqi, who was the eldest in his last life, was almost like going out of the house for the Fang family, and the days after that were quite hard. However, after the third room moved out of the Guogong's mansion, Wei Chengzhao and his younger brother Wei Chengyue quickly found an errand. The two brothers worked together, and the days went well. Yang's back straightened because of this, and put those who had never given birth. The concubine's concubine was sold, and the remaining ones, with their children to seek a living in front of her, naturally did not dare to make waves.

Everyone has their own way of living, what looks beautiful on the outside may not be really comfortable and calm on the inside, just like her in her previous life. Seeing that Luo Bo has lost his support, in fact, he may not really suffer for the rest of his life, such as the Yang family in his previous life.

The Duke's Mansion closed the door to thank the guests, and Shen Xinyan restrained the servants in the mansion, taking care of the eldest princess and the pregnant Wei Yingzhi wholeheartedly. Yang's will occasionally come to help. As for Fang's, she is still "recuperating from illness", but Shen Xinyan will no longer secretly send people to watch her every move.

Everyone has weaknesses, and Wei Chengqi is Fang's biggest weakness. She can not care about anyone or anything, but she can't care about her son.

On this day, Shen Xinyan and Wei Yingzhi were talking in the room of the eldest princess. The eldest princess was a little out of spirit, but when she saw that her granddaughter had begun to show her belly, her spirit suddenly improved a lot, and she was very concerned. Asked about her pregnancy.

Wei Yingzhi put her arms around her waist and acted like a child in her arms, making her laugh endlessly.

After a while, Brother Xiang ran in 'deng deng deng', climbed onto the soft couch with agile movements, pulled away his sister's hand to hold grandmother's hand, and retracted his small body into grandmother's embrace. smiled.

His small appearance of protecting food made everyone laugh.

In the laughter, Ziyan whispered something in Shen Xinyan's ear, Shen Xinyan nodded, looked at the three grandparents who were happy, and walked out quietly without disturbing them.

"Second Aunt!" Wei Chengzhao, who had been waiting under the corridor, saw her coming out and rushed to greet her.

"What happened?" Shen Xinyan saw his anxious face, her heart tightened.

"His Royal Highness has an accident. This morning, Sun Shoufu and several important court officials entered the palace to discuss matters, and found that the second prince was covered in blood and fell in Bixiu Palace. After several adults entered, His Royal Highness held a blood-stained dagger in his hand. ." Wei Chengzhao told the news in one breath.

Shen Xinyan's face changed suddenly.

"Second Highness is dead?"

"The imperial physicians are doing their best to heal, but now they are just breathing a sigh of relief. The situation is very dangerous. It is still unknown whether they can be rescued. At this moment, the courtiers and clansmen have entered the palace. If the suspicion cannot be cleared, His Royal Highness is in danger. That's it!"

"What did your majesty say there?" Shen Xinyan asked.

"Your Majesty was in a coma all morning, and finally woke up. After hearing about it, he asked the Imperial Hospital to treat the second prince with all his strength, and at the same time, he summoned the sixth master of Liguo's mansion to enter the palace, and the other nephews will not know."

"However...King Ruyang has requested an order to imprison His Highness the Crown Prince in the Zongren Mansion." Wei Chengzhao hesitated for a while, but told the truth.

Prince Ruyang is the highest-ranking member of the royal family today, even if the eldest princess sees him, she has to call him uncle.

The prince was imprisoned in the ancestral mansion. If the suspicion could not be cleared, it would not only be the crown prince's position not guaranteed, but it would also be involved in a wide range of cases. However, can Emperor Yuanyou still believe it today? An emperor who would order a search of the government's mansion, was he still the emperor who valued Concubine Rui and the Crown Prince the most?

Shen Xinyan didn't dare to hold out too much hope.

If the prince falls, Concubine Ruigui may not be able to survive alone, and the British government, who is in the line of the prince...

She shuddered.

"Second aunt, do you think the third prince did this? Think about it, if the second prince died of serious injuries, and His Royal Highness could not clear his name, wouldn't His Majesty have only one third prince? Who else?" Wei Chengzhao said in a low voice.

Shen Xinyan's face was dignified: "What you said is not unreasonable, it's just brother Zhao, the truth has not been found out for a day, and no one is sure who did it. In this matter, we should first find a way to get it with the imperial concubine in the palace. Get in touch and see where we can be of help."

Wei Chengzhao thought about it for the same reason, and nodded in response: "What the second aunt said was that it was the nephew who was not thinking well."

After a pause, he asked again: "The second aunt, Uncle Qiao Liu has always been close to the second uncle, should we ask him about it?"

Shen Xinyan shook her head: "It is precisely because he is close to your second uncle that we cannot inquire about him. Your Majesty may not let him investigate the injury of the second prince, if we contact him privately, as far as he is concerned, but It doesn't seem like a good thing."

Wei Chengzhao understood after hearing what she said.

"If you want to get in touch with the noble concubine in the palace, it seems that you have to ask the fourth sister." Wei Chengzhao said.

What Shen Xinyan can think of is also Wei Yingzhi. After all, Wei Yingzhi is Concubine Ruigui's niece and she is pregnant. Although Concubine Ruigui has not called her into the palace these days, she will send people out of the palace to give her something every three or five days, and naturally she will be there. Wei Yingzhi had someone beside her so that she could keep abreast of her niece's pregnancy.

As she had guessed, Emperor Yuanyou really asked Qiao Liuhui and Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the serious injury of the second prince, and Shen Xinyan also got the news that Concubine Rui in the palace told her to wait.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Concubine Ruigui could say that, so it could be seen that she was not completely unsure.

Because the second prince was stabbed, the prince became a suspect, and the courtiers were all in danger. The more Dali Temple was investigated, the more evidence there would be pointing to the third prince, and in the ancestral mansion, the third prince and the prince became. A pair of brothers and sisters.

When the crown prince had an accident, Emperor Yuanyou forced his sick body to come forward, but the courtiers found that His Majesty's face was getting worse and weaker, and his body was getting weaker and weaker. Often the courtiers were fighting fiercely. It was found that he was actually asleep on the throne.

For a time, the people in the courtroom were dissipated.

The emperor fell ill, one of the three princes went to one, and the other two were locked in the clan's mansion.

In the harem, Concubine Shu, the biological mother of the second prince, washed her face in tears day and night because of the uncertainty of her son's life and death. Concubine Li, the biological mother of the third prince, and Concubine Rui Gui, the biological mother of the third prince, were imprisoned.

The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief when the good news of the victory at the border was sent to the defense case expeditedly.

At this time when disasters are happening one after another, they desperately need a good news to dispel their restlessness and anxiety.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Chenglin, the guard of Xiyan, who was originally rumored to have died in the bandit chaos, suddenly led his troops to attack Qingfeng Mountain, the stronghold of the bandit leader, captured the top master of the village alive, and killed the second and third masters. Then, he joined with the reinforcements of Marquis Zhongyi, and Chengsheng pursued it. In less than a month, he completely quelled the bandit chaos in Xiyan that had plagued the court for many years.

When the news came back to the Duke's Mansion, the eldest princess wept with joy, clutched Shen Xinyan's hand tightly, and said, "I knew, I knew that Brother Lin would be alright. His grandfather spent so much effort to cultivate. He, how could he be killed by a little bandit."

"Yes, what my mother said is that Brother Lin is fine..." Shen Xinyan's throat was a little blocked, and her eyes were also glowing with water, and she answered in a choked voice.

During these days, her heart has been tormented, but everyone in Kenuo's house is looking at her, but she can't show half of it.

Now that the good news from the border, the eldest son has survived, and these two great good news have come back, it is only now that she can vent her worries day and night.

"I had known that I had followed Yunfu too..." Wei Chengyue, who was beside him, was happy for his cousin, but his tone was a little disappointed.

Even Yunfu, the noble and noble prince, went to the battlefield. At the beginning, his martial arts were not as good as his own! If he followed along, he would definitely be able to catch all the bandits together with his elder brother.

Even Wei Chengzhao had a bit of annoyance and yearning in his eyes.

Wei Chengqi's martial arts skills are mediocre, and he is more fond of writing than martial arts, so apart from being happy for his cousin and sister-in-law, he has no other feelings.

The people in the Guogong Mansion were overjoyed because of this rare good news. In the palace, Emperor Yuanyou, who was supposed to be asleep, rubbed his forehead, took the black pill handed over by Qiao Liu, swallowed it, and poured a few sips of water, then sighed: "But finally there is good news back, Jun Hang. Procrastinate any more, and I'm afraid I'll be out of action."

Qiao Liu said with a smile: "Your Majesty has really impressed me this time, and sighed to myself!"

Emperor Yuanyou glared at him, thinking about everything that happened in recent days, his face turned ashen with hatred, and barely suppressed his anger and asked, "Can the second prince be saved?"

"I don't have to worry about my life, but I'm afraid I won't be able to live without the medicine jar in the future."

Emperor Yuanyou sneered: "This is also what he asked for! If he doesn't have thoughts that he shouldn't have, why would he be used by others, and he almost lost his life!"

"It can't be entirely his fault. People are aiming at his direct son. After all, the prince is gone, and it would be more beneficial for them to have a grandson who is still in his infancy." Qiao Liu spread his hands. .

The crown prince has been married for many years, and he has only two direct daughters. The third prince just got married, and the eldest son of the second prince is the only one in the younger generation of the royal family.

Such a single seedling, and still a milk baby, is indeed the easiest to control, but it is much more useful than supporting an adult prince.

"Juan Hang said that Prince Cheng has sneaked back to the capital. You have checked these days, do you have any clues?" Emperor Yuanyou took a few deep breaths and asked again.

"Not yet." Qiao Liu was a little ashamed.

Although Emperor Yuanyou was in a hurry, he also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he did not blame him.

When Qiao Liu left, he saw Queen Zhou slowly coming with her maid. He didn't want to see the ceremony, so he quickly flashed to the rockery before they found it, thinking about leaving after they passed by.

The sound of the ring and the pendant colliding when the woman was walking drifted away, and he walked out from behind the rockery. He casually glanced at the backs of the few people, and his eyes gradually fell on the bowing beside Queen Zhou. On the waist of the eunuch.

don't know if it was his delusion, he always felt that this person was a bit strange, but he couldn't think of what was wrong for a while. After thinking for a moment, he decided to find an opportunity to explore again.

Whether it is an illusion or not, since there is doubt, you have to find a way to verify it.

When the maid came in to report, saying, "The Empress is here", Emperor Yuanyou had already changed into a weak appearance, but a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

This slut actually dared to poison himself with a traitor, intending to control himself. Originally, he was still thinking of his former friendship, so he would give her a good death, but now...

A murderous intent flashed across his face.

The humiliation suffered in these days, he will teach the slut to pay ten times the price!

Following the first good news from the army, in the next few battles, the army was victorious.

While paying attention to the progress of the second prince's case, the courtiers also followed the border war. They were relieved to learn that the Rong and Di people were finally driven out of the border and their lost ground was taken back.

Immediately, there was a voice in the courtroom that should be closed. Some courtiers thought that since the foreign enemy had been driven away, they should withdraw their troops and wait for peace to be negotiated, so that the people would not suffer the pain of war again.

As soon as such remarks came out, there were naturally no generalists, but there were also quite a few who held the opposite opinion, believing that our army should go all out to pacify the Rong and Di, in order to achieve once and for all.

The main peace faction and the main war faction were at odds with each other, and their faces were red in the face of the battle.

Shen Xinyan, a woman inside the house, naturally had limited knowledge about the battle between courtiers, but only learned a thing or two from Wei Chengzhao's scattered words every day.

Compared with these, what she cares more about is when will Wei Junhang and Wei Chenglin return?

She remembered that in her previous life, General Murong led the troops to attack the imperial court of Rong Di, and the Rong Di people were no longer able to fight back.

And it was also in that battle that Wei Chenglin's military talents were thoroughly demonstrated. He joined forces with General Murong, and once again reproduced the glory of Wei's and Murong's joint battles, and they were invincible.

From then on, no one dared to underestimate this young British prince.

But in this life, Wei Chenglin went to Xiyan to quell the bandit rebellion in Xiyan, so Shen Xinyan was really unsure whether he would participate in the war against Rong Di again.

After a few days, Emperor Yuanyou issued a decree, and General Murong led his troops to attack the Rong and Di, and completely solve this serious problem for the frontier people and the court.

In the struggle between the main peace faction and the main war faction, the main war faction won the final victory.

In this regard, Shen Xinyan was not surprised, after all, the imperial court in her previous life also made this choice.

What only surprised her was that Emperor Yuanyou also issued a decree, that Wei Chenglin, who had just quelled the bandit rebellion in Xiyan, and the Marquis of Zhongyi led troops to support General Murong. The imperial court is not returning.

Shen Xinyan sighed deeply.

Sure enough, some things can't be changed whether it's in the previous life or in this life.

The only change is that in this life, not only her son, but also her husband and her son-in-law participated.

Since the eldest princess learned that her son and eldest grandson were safe, her condition improved in an instant. Although she sometimes became confused, she took Shen Xinyan's hand and chatted with her about the old prince and Wei Junting and Wei Junhang's brothers, but most of the time she was confused. Still quite awake.

After the news that the imperial court wanted to pursue Rong Di with all his strength spread, the eldest princess was troubled and worried, and despite Shen Xinyan's dissuasion, she resolutely went to the temple to pray for Wei Junhang's father and son Weng and his son-in-law.

Shen Xinyan couldn't persuade her for a long time, so she could only follow her wishes. Taking advantage of the fine weather today, she personally accompanied her to Lingyun Temple on the outskirts of Beijing.

Wei Yingzhi, who had originally learned that they were going to pray, also wanted to follow, but she was reprimanded by Shen Xinyan, and she was getting heavier, so she had to give up.

Shen Xinyan let out a sigh of relief.

Mother-in-law, she can't help it, is her daughter still helpless?

The carriage went all the way to the suburbs of Beijing, Shen Xinyan greeted the temple one day in advance, and arranged everything properly, also for fear that too many people in the temple would collide with the eldest princess.

After all, the body of the eldest princess is not as good as before, and she cannot be ignored at all.

When she arrived at Lingyun Temple, she accompanied the eldest princess to pray for blessings, and accompanied her to listen to Master Huiming's lectures.

Having died once and was reborn again, her reverence for ghosts and gods has increased a lot, and now she hopes that the gods can protect her relatives and return safely.

When leaving from Lingyun Temple, the sunset shone all over the mountains in red, and it also brought a beautiful red scenery.

Shen Xinyan helped the eldest princess onto the carriage and instructed the servants to drive carefully. The carriage drove smoothly on the road and headed towards the city.

"It's not good, it's not good, there are rebels, run!"

Suddenly, a cry from nowhere, startling the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the carriage.

"What happened?" Shen Xinyan asked hurriedly.

"Madam's not good. It is said that a traitor came in front of you, and everyone is running for their lives!" The voice of the attendant rang from outside the car.

"Where is the traitor at the feet of the emperor, ridiculous!" the eldest princess shouted.

"Anyway, mother, let's hurry back to the manor. Don't be afraid of 10,000, but just in case. Now is an extraordinary time, and we have to guard against it." Shen Xinyan advised.

The eldest princess' face softened a little: "I listen to you!"

Shen Xinyan then instructed the driver to speed up and return to the house sooner or later.

For some unknown reason, the word rebel always made her feel uneasy.

Didn't Murong Tao pretend to be a rebel once in his last life? Could it be that he is still repeating his old tricks in this life?

Thinking about it, it shouldn't be. At this time, Murong Tao should follow his parents on the battlefield.

And the third prince was still imprisoned in the ancestral mansion. Zhou Wanning, the third prince's concubine, didn't have the spare time to go out.

Thinking of this, her heart calmed down a bit.

Suddenly, the carriage made an emergency stop, and after a few such emergencies, Shen Xinyan steadied herself very cleverly, and even the eldest princess was supported by her.

"Help, help my wife!" The woman's panicked cry suddenly came in from outside, and the servant who was driving also swallowed the scolding that was about to be exported.

Shen Xinyan was startled, only to think that the woman's voice seemed to be somewhat familiar. When she lifted the curtain of the car, she saw a wolf-riddled woman beside the carriage, pulling the driver of the car and crying.

When the woman saw her appear, she rushed over immediately.

"Madam, please save my wife!"

Shen Xinyan froze instantly.

This person is none other than Zhou Wanning's maid Liu Shuang!

"But something happened to the third imperial concubine?!" she asked sharply.

Liu Shuang nodded again and again with tears in her eyes: "Madam, please, please, please, the imperial concubine, she was kidnapped by the rebels who suddenly rushed out!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help crying, crying in despair.

If the Third Prince Concubine had an emergency, she wouldn't even want to live!

"What? The third prince and concubine were kidnapped by thieves?" The eldest princess in the car clearly heard their words, and her face changed greatly.

Kidnapping people in broad daylight, this thief is too wild!

"You lead people to follow along the road to see where the thieves have taken the third prince and concubine to. Remember not to do anything with them. Since they have captured people, they must be well prepared, and you can't beat them."

"You hurry back to the city, find Lord Zhou Maozhou, and tell him the matter in detail."

"Get in the car quickly, let's go back to the city immediately!"

Shen Xinyan ordered calmly.

"Why don't you let your guards go after him?" Liu Shuang wiped away her tears, a little dissatisfied.

Shen Xinyan sneered: "You princes and concubines are very valuable. Is it possible that the lives of female family members of our country's government are worthless?"

Don't blame her for being selfish, in her eyes, ten Zhou Wannings are not as good as one eldest princess!
