Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Tomorrow morning, I want to see how he protects the Xiao family."

Long before he came back, Yan Shengrui had made arrangements, and the party would definitely be activated again tomorrow morning. Since the emperor's brother had ordered a thorough investigation of the Xiao family, how could he let him change the order overnight?

"Hehe...Actually, I think that instead of bringing down the Xiao family, it is better to spend more time collecting the crimes of the eldest prince and the four princes. Once they fall, Xiao Guifei and the Xiao family will also collapse. Those ministers who followed them are simply For the sake of fame and fortune, if there is no fame and fortune to seek, how could they hang themselves from a tree?"

The emperor's health is getting worse day by day. Although the eldest prince is not a direct descendant, he occupies the position of the eldest son. He is of a suitable age and has good abilities. With the emperor's favor, it is normal for so many ministers to follow them. He always likes to attack directly. The center doesn't like to beat around the bush. It would be too tiring to clean up those ministers one by one. Instead of this, why not start from the top of the pyramid, the top is gone, and the rabble below will not collapse?

"You think we haven't thought about it?"

Zeng Shaoqing rolled his eyes angrily, and then said depressedly: "That boy Yan Xiaozheng is quite capable, he is very cautious in his daily life, and rarely participates in gatherings of ministers, even the concubines of the palace are pitifully few, it is difficult to collect to his guilt."

"Without you, wouldn't you create something for him? It's a good thing for him to do this. How can it be possible for a person who wants to fight for power and position to be really clean? The more clean he is, the more suspicious he will be. What we have to do in the early stage Instead of showing evidence to directly overthrow him, it only needs to blacken him a little bit. Now that the emperor has been persuaded by the queen mother, most of the anger towards the Xiao family has gone, but the seeds of doubt are still buried in his heart. As long as the eldest prince and the fourth prince keep making mistakes, the seeds will slowly take root and sprout, and at that time, we don't need to do it ourselves, the emperor will naturally deal with him himself."

At the beginning, he never thought of bringing down the Xiao family with just a few words, which is the main reason why he could still laugh when he heard the changes in the palace. It's so fragile, so it's not worth their elaborate design. "It's not as easy as you said? You forgot, there is also a queen mother who protects them at all times in the palace. Who knows if she will be like this again in the future, Whitewash them with a few words?" After all, this is the most troublesome character.

"Then get rid of her!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Ling Jingxuan stood up and stretched his muscles, Yan Shengrui and Zeng Shaoqing both looked at him strangely, if the queen mother is so easy to remove, they still need to worry?

"Do you want a gentler way or a rougher way?"

As if he didn't notice their strange eyes at all, the stretched Ling Jingxuan asked casually, with a consistent smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and piercing. His usual motto was, those who stand in the way, die!

"What is gentle, what is rough?"

Yan Shengrui smiled in relief, stood up and looked at him with a smile, he wanted to hear what weird ideas his precious wife had thought of again.

"It's gentle, just tell her to shut up obediently. From now on, she will no longer be able to speak for Concubine Xiao or Xiao's family. However, she is still a high-ranking queen mother, and she can enjoy her old age in the palace. As for the rude ones, In short, it means ruining her reputation, making her unable to be buried in the imperial mausoleum even if she dies, and let the world scold her forever!"

When it came to the end, Ling Jingxuan's eyes could not help but turn a little dark. Given his personality, he naturally liked to use simple and rough methods, but considering the face of the royal family, he probably couldn't use it.

"Let's be gentle then."

Sure enough, Yan Shengrui chose the former, because the face of the royal family is more important than personal gain or loss.

"Success, Sixth Master, I'll give you something nice in three days. Just find a way to send it to the palace, huh?? It's getting late, let's all rest."

After speaking, Ling Jingxuan yawned and left regardless of their reaction. He is really tired today.

"He doesn't want to be a poisonous old hag, does he?"

Looking at his back, Zeng Shaoqing swallowed his saliva with difficulty, Yan Shengrui glanced at him meaningfully, raised his foot and chased after him, no matter what the daughter-in-law does, he has his back support, so what about being dumb? It is a good thing that the old hag cannot speak.

"Yeah, let's wait and see."

After a while, Zeng Shaoqing put his head in his hands and left the outer study carelessly. Jingxuan has never let them down, right? I believe this time will be no exception.

"Accompany me to the prison tomorrow."

On the way back to Canglanxuan, Ling Jingxuan stretched out his hand and clasped his fingers tightly with Yan Shengrui, looked up at the little crescent moon in the sky and licked the corners of his lips, his affairs should be gradually arranged.

"Um""

Yan Shengrui didn't ask any more questions, just nodded slightly, his face and eyes were always full of pampering and pampering, as long as it was something he wanted to do, he would support it to the end.

Chapter 309: Fighting the Emperor (1)

The next day, Yan Shengrui went to court early in the morning. Ling Jingxuan went into the studio after explaining the affairs of the mansion. The children consciously did not bother him. Si Kongjue took the initiative to take care of the children. , because the affairs of the Xiao family are as weird as ever, Yan Shengzhi originally wanted to hint at the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is almost enough, don't make it too embarrassing, it can be said that the group headed by Gong Shangshu didn't understand, Gong Shangshu was because of his son's warning , not daring to speculate on the holy will, but Yan Shengrui and others arranged for him to humiliate his daughter-in-law, so let's just make peace? How can there be such a cheap thing?

"Brother Huang, I have something to report."

In court,

A group of members of the royal family and military generals were almost at odds with the civil servants headed by the Xiao family. One side advocated severe punishment of the Xiao family, while the other advocated minor punishments and major punishments. , the court was arguing endlessly, and Yan Shengzhi couldn't say it clearly and let it go, one can imagine how ugly his face was, and Chu Yunhan didn't speak from the beginning to the end, his status was too embarrassing, helping anyone would make the emperor suspicious, It's better not to help anyone, just sit and watch them fight. At this moment, Yan Shengrui suddenly stood up solemnly, and all the people in the quarrel looked at him for a moment. After all, this matter is related to his princess. Whatever the outcome of their final argument, he basically had to nod.

"What's the matter with Old Nine?" Knowing that he couldn't be silent, the corners of Yan Shengzhi's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. If you want to say that the most difficult thing to settle is not the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but his younger brother who is a master of meritorious service. .

"Brother Huang also knows that Yan Shangqing, the eldest son of the second brother Xiaohua's family, suffered from a strange disease more than two years ago. The princess of the county visited famous doctors but could not be cured. My brother's concubine has excellent medical skills, and I specially brought Shang Qing to the palace to seek medical treatment yesterday, as luck would have it for the child, the concubine has already diagnosed the cause of the disease, and they are currently receiving three months of treatment at the palace."

Yan Shengrui stood up and said a long list, but no one understood what he was talking about. How does this matter have anything to do with what they are discussing?

However, Yan Chengmao and Yan Xiaohua lost their composure in unison: "Really?!"

"Everyone lives in the palace, can it be fake?"

Throwing them a look in your mind, Yan Shengrui put one hand behind his back, proud, Yan Chengmao sweated helplessly, and then said excitedly: "No, what this king means is that your princess can really heal Qing Qing. Son?"

After all, Yan Xiaohua only had Yan Shangqing under his knees, and he was forced to marry the third prince of the Western Kingdom. As far as the son is concerned, there can be no other ones. Naturally, it is good to be able to heal Shang Qing, and it is justifiable for the son to inherit the throne of the county king. Ah, Yan Xiaohua next to him couldn't hide his excitement, even though he knew yesterday that Aunt Jiuhuang was treating the child, and that Jue and the child were both in Prince Cheng's mansion, in fact he was planning to go to the mansion with the emperor's uncle as soon as the court was over. Look, but he doesn't know that the child can be cured, and he heard that it only takes three months to recover. The only son, can he not be excited? Regardless of who the child's mother and concubine are, in his mind, he is his and Jue's son.

"Second brother, do you not believe in the medical skills of the princess?"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Sisi shot out sharply, Yan Shengmao's forehead darkened, and he hurriedly said: "No, Lao Jiu misunderstood, this king is just excited."

He didn't want to offend this brother who didn't recognize his relatives.

"It's not too late to get excited when the poison is cured and the illness is cured."

Withdrawing his gaze, Yan Chengrui suddenly walked to the center of the hall, clasped his fists and looked at the emperor above: "Brother Qi, what I want to say is that the little prince is not sick, but is poisoned by a very domineering poison. Poison will not kill people immediately, but will lead to the viciousness in the human body, causing skin diseases and other diseases that torture people. This poison is said to have come from southern Xinjiang, and if it spreads in the world, it may cause chaos in the whole country, so I implore the imperial brother for permission to let my younger brother lead troops to attack southern Xinjiang and wipe out the cancer!"
