Mu Yunyao came back to her senses, and secretly suppressed her wandering thoughts: "Grandmother, Concubine Qi and Concubine Li entered the palace in the same year, became pregnant in the same year, and were conferred the title of concubine in the same year, but this Qi Concubine Gui is not as eye-catching as Concubine Li in the harem."

Princess Yide smiled: "Concubine Qi is the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Wei, moreover, the only daughter. She has been doted on since she was a child, but she has a very transparent personality. She has no such or such problems as other young ladies. Although she is a daughter, she likes the art of war and is good at martial arts. Don't look at her as weak and weak. Usually, four or five people can't pass a few moves in her hands. Back then, she helped the emperor resist assassins by virtue of her martial arts. The emperor said no Said, but I remember this feeling clearly in my heart."

"Such a legendary woman should live a prosperous life. Why is it the opposite?"

"Speaking of it, it's a trick of good fortune. At the beginning, the big families in the court were very powerful, and the Marquis of Wei had a large army. With his support, the power on the emperor's side could be stable. In order to stabilize this relationship, the emperor accepted Qi Guifei into the palace. But before, she was already engaged and had a lover of her own. Wei Guohou forcibly broke them up to show his loyalty, and sent Qi Guifei to the emperor. Although Qi Guifei didn't say anything, but all these years, she has always been There is a knot in her heart, even if she is in the harem, she is always wandering outside, as if she looks down on the world of mortals, the emperor knows her knot in her heart, and has been pampering her."

Mu Yunyao was taken aback for a moment, then she suddenly realized: "So that's the case, then has Concubine Qi figured it out now?"

Princess Yide smiled: "Even if she can't figure it out, she has to think about King Yu. As a mother, she can do anything for her own children."

Mu Yunyao sighed in her heart, and stepped forward to help Princess Yide rub her shoulders: "Grandmother, I'm afraid I will trouble you with something."

"You don't need to talk about this between my grandparents and grandchildren, what's the matter?"

"The emperor wants to deal with the Li family, and King Yue and I also want to help His Royal Highness King Yu, but during the investigation, we found that the Li family seems to be somewhat involved with the royal family in northern Xinjiang."

Hearing this, Princess Yide suddenly raised her hand to hold Mu Yunyao's hand, and her eyes became extremely sharp in an instant: "The news is confirmed?"

"My people were placed next to the Li family and the King of Ling. He handles affairs very properly. The news that he took the risk to spread should not be false."

Princess Yide narrowed her eyes slightly: "The Li family, I can't stay, Yao'er, what do you want grandma to do?"

"His Royal Highness Yue and I can't get involved in matters in the harem, so I want my grandmother to help me completely suppress Concubine Li Gui. In addition, none of Prime Minister Li's sons gave birth to children. And her daughter, except Concubine Li, has no heirs. I think this matter is too unusual. The Li family keeps secret about this matter, and there is no way to investigate it. I want to ask my grandmother to try , can you find a breakthrough from Concubine Li Gui?"

Princess Yide's phoenix eyes were gloomy: "Don't worry, Yao'er, leave this matter to me."

"Thank you grandma."

"This Li Qingzhou...Yao'er, don't publicize this matter for the time being, so as not to startle the enemy and make the Li family take precautions, or do something unfavorable by jumping over the wall in a hurry. The Li family is really good at pretending, and no one will I know if there is any more hidden arrangement behind him, and we must not let the Li family be alert before we are sure to completely wipe out the Li family."

"Grandma, don't worry, His Royal Highness King Yue and I will pay attention."

In the next few days, the harem was full of wind and clouds.

Concubine Li Gui took many medicines for her face, but none of them improved. The concubines in the harem went to visit one after another, making Concubine Li even more anxious, and even tried to bring this matter to the emperor.

After the emperor found out, the concubines were quiet for a while, but after a while, the emperor didn't respond at all, they suddenly became happy and went to the Liuli Palace more frequently.

After all, the emperor just restrained Concubine Li Gui's feet, but he didn't say that no one should be cared about. In the past, Concubine Li liked to put on airs the most, and she had to ask her low-ranking concubines to pay her respects every day. Although Concubine Li has lost her power and ruined her appearance, the rules cannot be broken, can they?

It's just that every time these concubines went to visit, a large amount of porcelain would be broken in Concubine Li's Liuli Palace. Concubine Qi found out when she was counting the expenses in the harem, and reported it to the emperor directly. The emperor issued an order to send some beating-resistant porcelain and ornaments to the Liuli Palace. Concubine Qi directly ordered the Department of Internal Affairs to exchange a batch of copper and wooden ones and sent them over.

King Ling went to the palace several times to ask the emperor to see him for this matter, but the emperor avoided him completely, and even many courtiers in the court began to alienate him.

King Ling returned to the mansion, and smashed the study with a gloomy expression in anger.

When Li Qingzhou came, seeing his appearance, he couldn't help persuading him: "His Royal Highness, you still need to be calm and don't be impatient, and you must not get yourself confused."

"Grandfather, my father said before that the candidate for the crown prince will be rejected years ago, but look at the current situation, the situation with the concubine mother is critical, and the ministers in the court are alienated from me. , how can it be done?"

"I was negligent. I didn't expect such serious consequences just to test Princess Yide. However, Your Highness don't need to be too impatient. Princess Yide is so powerful. Doesn't the emperor feel a little bit uneasy?" Are you happy? As for the courtiers, they are all fools, and now they are afraid of the power of the eldest princess, so they are alienated from us, but once the eldest princess falls, they will immediately attach themselves."

King Ling frowned: "But time is running out now, and we don't have any evidence against the eldest princess, how can we bring her down?"

"The time is tight, but the time set by the emperor to reject the prince cannot be changed."

"Grandfather, do you have a solution?"

"I already have a clue, and I'll know in two days, Your Highness, please be safe."

After the beginning of winter, the weather quickly cooled down, and within a few days, heavy snow came one after another.

Mu Yunyao and King Yue left the palace and came to Niyunfang. The wedding dress had already been cut, and many small patterns had been embroidered. Mu Yunyao wanted to embroider dragon and phoenix patterns by herself, so she often went out of the palace during the day.

King Yue lived in the palace for the past few days and was determined not to investigate the cause of Queen Wei's death. He let go of his feelings for the emperor a lot. After the relationship between father and son eased, the emperor rarely experienced the kindness of father and filial piety from King Yue. Li called him to accompany him, and after knowing that King Yue was going to accompany Mu Yunyao out of the palace, he was still very unhappy, so he complained in front of Princess Yide, saying that King Yue had forgotten him as a father when he had a wife.
