Chapter 1010 Peace and quiet

Xiao Zhen and Han Ziran both had some doubts in their hearts. Both Han Hua and Lou Yu were the emperor's confidants, so they were suddenly sent to serve as governors. Although they were also high-ranking officials, it was not as convenient as being in the capital. Moreover, the capital could go deep into the city.

The emperor's important ministers can be counted on ten fingers. To leave two of them at once is equivalent to losing one's left and right arms.

Moreover, for such a big thing, the elders and the others didn't even notice it at all. They left and came back only a few months ago. To put it more carefully, they were suddenly transferred out of the capital in less than a year.

Xiao Zhen did not ask the doubts in his heart, after all, everyone was happy to meet again.

At night, Xiao Zhen called Wu Yin and Zhao Jie to ask about the doubts in his heart.

Wu Yin sighed and said: "The reason is because my sister took care of the matter of Concubine Xing. This book was originally suppressed by the emperor, but there are always rumors, and I don't know who is smart.

By associating these fragments of information together, I came up with an idea. Later, word spread from the palace, and the princes and ministers knew about it. Some people came to remonstrate with me, saying that my relatives were interfering in politics and that Yao'er was unethical."

Xiao Zhen's face darkened.

"One month after you left, the students in the capital jointly submitted a letter asking the emperor to punish the empress for her crime of immorality. The emperor did not listen. During that period," Wu Yin shook his head.

From Wu Yin's solemn look, Xiao Zhen and Han Ziran could sense the tense atmosphere in the capital at that time.

"It seems that the emperor sent Xiao Hua and Lou Yu to serve as governors in other provinces in order to protect them." Han Ziran said, speaking of relatives, these two were well-known relatives in the court.

"Yes, I found out afterwards that there was someone behind this matter, and it was Grand Scholar Na Jia." Zhao Jie said.

"Master Jia?" Han Ziran thought for a moment and said, "I remember when we were in the village, the shadow guard mentioned that the emperor had a concubine Hui, who was the daughter of Master Jia. Is this Master Jia?"

"That's him. His purpose is self-evident."

The room became quiet for a moment.

The sound of Xi Ya pushing the door in became very abrupt, and the voice of Zika made everyone look at her.

"I poured tea for everyone, let's talk while drinking tea." Xi Ya had already expected that there would be a lot to say tonight. In less than a year, too many things had happened.

"Why didn't anyone tell us this?" Xiao Zhen was a little angry.

"Yao'er didn't let us talk. She didn't want you to worry about her anymore, but there is one happy thing. That is, the Ning family was punished. The Ning family's secret concealment of the iron ore was investigated by Lou Yu and Han Hua.

When he came out, the emperor was furious and ransacked the Ning family, and even Concubine Ning was deposed."

After Xi Ya poured tea for everyone, she snorted coldly when she heard Zhao Jie's words: "There went Concubine Ning, and Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui is now also gaining power. Didn't the emperor also recruit a new concubine a few months ago?

Concubine Zhe? She is also favored now."

The room became quiet again.

Xi Ya said very unfairly: "On the surface, Yao'er seems to be the mother of the world and is in charge of everything in the harem, but in fact she can't sleep peacefully even a day. Not only the princes and ministers, but also the countless women from big families who have been thrust into the palace.

There are hundreds of plans, and there are always a few every year. For the sake of harmony between the emperor and the empress, and to balance the relationship between the DPRK and China, she worked hard and hard, and was said to be immoral. I looked really tired, but fortunately the matter was over like this.

Already."

Listening to this, Xiao Zhen felt the most helpless. As a mother, she had done all she could and left Yao'er to figure out a way out. She didn't know how to help her with the rest: "I really don't have the skills to do this for the Jia University Scholar."

How come you have heard that you were so silent and quiet before, but now you start stirring up the students in the blink of an eye? Isn’t it a bit strange?”

"I had suspicions before, so I sent shadow guards to keep an eye on him for several months, and found that he had a lot of contacts with the salt officer, and the salt officer was very close to the Zhao family in the capital."

"Zhao family? Zhao family, one of the five major families?"

"right."

Xiao Zhen and Han Ziran looked at each other. This matter is a bit complicated. Can it be said that the Zhao family is actually serving the great scholar behind the scenes? The forces in the capital are intertwined. Since the princes, ministers, and five major families, the court and the country

The stability of the family is closely related to them. Among them, the Ning family has gone, the Han family is their own, and there are three other major families, and the Zhao family is one of them.

"Does the Zhao family have any children in the court or in the harem?" Han Ziran asked.

"No." Wu Yin shook his head: "I have already checked."

This is strange.

Because Xiao Zhen was a little tired, no one continued talking, and Xiao Zhen and Han Ziran also went to bed early.

Two days later, the Queen Mother's coffin was sent to the imperial mausoleum.

Xiao Zhen, Han Ziran, and the emperor and the empress were sitting in the carriage together. Han Ziran and the emperor chatted about past events and the current situation from time to time. Xiao Zhen always looked at Yao'er with a vague look.

Lu Xinyao naturally noticed his mother's gaze and responded with a smile. Xiao really hoped that her daughter would take the initiative to say something to her, but until they came back from the imperial mausoleum and they left, Xinyao never said anything.

"Don't worry. Since I Xinyao didn't tell us, it means that she is already capable of handling such things." Han Ziran patted the back of his wife's hand.

Xiao Zhen nodded: "Even if I want to help with her matter, I am unable to do so. What I am thinking about is another thing."

The two looked at each other and knew from each other's eyes that they were thinking of the same thing, but neither one wanted to say it out loud.

A few days later, Han Ziran proposed to his eldest brother and sister-in-law that he wanted to leave and go back to the countryside. He thought he would be opposed by his eldest sister-in-law, but unexpectedly she just sighed and agreed.

Sister-in-law Han is a conservative person, but no matter what she says, her younger brother and sister-in-law have always jumped around and refused to listen to her over the years, so she just muttered a few words. In addition, Yao'er's incident made her

I always feel that Yao'er's life is so difficult now because of himself, so how can he still bother to care about their affairs.

Seeing his sister-in-law watching them leave at the door, Xiao Zhen was fine at first. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, they didn't really leave, but he had to hide this from them. At the same time, he felt sad.

Her hair has turned white. She is like a mother to her elder sister-in-law. Over the past few decades, Xiao Zhen will remember her sister-in-law’s contribution to them.

When the two of them were walking on the street towards the city gate, an ordinary person dressed as a shadow guard walked up to them. While pretending to be shopping, he said to Xiao Zhen without leaving a trace: "Master, madam, the house has been found."

Okay, it's in the corner at the entrance to the west city. The carriage outside the city is also ready." After that, he wandered elsewhere.

Xiao Zhen seemed not to have heard anything. She stopped in front of a stall, took out a bead hairpin and looked at it.

"Madam, you have a good eye. This beaded hairpin is the latest style in the capital. We sell more than a dozen of them every day." The shopkeeper hurriedly made business.

"How much does it cost?" Han Ziran asked. His wife had a lot of jewelry, but she was rarely seen wearing it, let alone buying it. It was rare for her to fall in love with one. Although it was not very valuable, the workmanship looked good.

"Not much, just one tael of silver is enough."

Xiao Zhen looked at Han Ziran with a smile and put a tael of silver into his hair: "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Han Ziran said immediately: "You look good in whatever you wear."

There were also several girls with beaded flowers nearby. When they heard the words between the old couple, they all looked at them. The little girls were all ashamed. They blushed when they heard such loving words, but they looked at them.

Xiao Zhen's eyes were full of envy.

"As I get older, I look better wearing beads. I see women of my age wearing these on their heads." Xiao Zhen said with a smile, "Let's live in a new house. If we don't have anything on us, it will look better."

Easily suspected by neighbors."

"When did you ever care about this?"

"That was outside, but it's different now in the capital. Okay, let's go."

Xiao Zhen and Han Ziran still walked outside the city, where there was a carriage that had been prepared. They passed through several alleys and bustling streets. They walked out of the city gate, got on the carriage, and headed towards

The south flew away.

Of course, the two people leaving were other people. When the real Xiao Zhen and Han Ziran entered the alley, they had already turned to another street and walked into an ordinary house.

The house is very small, and the kitchens in Korean houses are bigger than this house, but even though the house is small, it has all the internal organs.

"It seems that what we expected is true. The battle for the crown prince has indeed begun." Han Ziran brought water, and then took two pieces of coarse cloth and threw one to his wife.

The two began to clean.

The house has actually been cleaned, but for those who are used to doing things by themselves, they have to do it themselves. Cleaning is always better.

"On the first day we came back from the palace, we were followed by someone. I had this thought in my mind." Xiao Zhen rolled up his sleeves and wiped the table: "The emperor is in good health, and Yao'er's back position is also stable. The only one who can do it is

The position of prince."

Han Ziran thought for a while, stopped cleaning and looked at Xiao Zhen: "The prince has been an excellent child since he was a child, but Yao'er has always protected this child very well. I wonder how this child's adaptability is?"

Xiao Zhen thought of the conversation between the prince and Concubine Ning's son a few years ago, and said with a smile: "This child must have a future, and he will see the results in a few years."
