After being widowed and reborn, the matriarch of a noble family remarried a powerful minister.

"Empress De Fei is so elegant."

Concubine De raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't compare to you. I've been going well lately."

The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing what the other was talking about.

Chu Yun could no longer hold back.

Ever since the rumors about the eclipse came out a while ago, she has been restless. The recent deaths of these people are the best evidence.

Maybe others don't know, but both of them know that those who died knew more or less about the eclipse.

All this news was released by people sent by Yan Ming, and they were all gossip. You can't help gossiping anywhere, let alone the extremely boring palace maid and concubine?
I don’t know who they are, but I secretly guess that there should be some members of the harem who are unwilling to be left alone and also participated in the "eclipse moon".

Someone also reported to the court that this was really dirty and messy and should be thoroughly rectified to serve as a warning to others.

The prime minister's attitude was still ambiguous, and coupled with the news that Yan Ming told Chu Yun, the seeds of suspicion that had long taken root suddenly broke out in her heart.

Half truths and half lies are the most maddening.

Concubine De sighed: "You moved really quickly. I didn't expect that this was the reason why she could become pregnant."

There was a chess game on the table, and the two of them started playing chess in unison.

Ke Yiqing smiled: "Don't worry, Madam, my wife never fights an unprepared battle."

Back then, she arranged for Chu Yun to participate in the attack on the eunuch who eclipsed the moon. She had already taken him out of the palace. No matter how arrogant Chu Yun's power was, he could not reach outside the palace.

Concubine De held a chess piece and said thoughtfully: "Recently, in the court, another minister mentioned the matter of establishing a crown prince."

"Is this why the Marquis gave the cat as a gift?"

"Yes, he always asks me to blow the pillow, but I have to have a chance."

Marquis Xuanping, who had already sided with Chu Yun, finally thought of his daughter and wrote a letter asking her to blow the pillow of the eleventh prince.

But he probably didn't know about his daughter's situation in the harem. He had written many times before to complain, wondering if there was something wrong with her body. Otherwise, how could he not have a son and a half for so many years?

Ke Yiqing was silent. Although she was not considered a palace concubine, she had vaguely heard some news. It was said that the Holy Emperor was very fond of young and beautiful newcomers recently, and even Chu Yun went there less.

"Yes, you are very well-informed. Zou Dan has been summoned many times recently, and has the Holy Spirit rewarded him with many things?"

The two of them knew very well that the emperor, who had long been inhumane, what else could he do when he saw this sorcerer?
It’s just asking for some “miraculous medicine”.

Concubine De smiled sarcastically, but she almost said it clearly, the emperor really has nothing, the more he clings to something.

But she was not interested in the emperor's sexual affairs, so she asked the court ministers for their opinions on the matter of establishing a crown prince. In the court, her information was far less sensitive than the other party's.

Concubine De frowned and said, "It's strange to say that the Prime Minister has supported the Eleventh Prince many times before, but this time there was no movement."

Only Marquis Xuanping and other ministers who could not clearly see the situation were still shouting and shouting, which caused the Holy Emperor to reject them for a while.

She wasn't surprised that the prime minister didn't take sides. After all, Chu Yun was eager to kill people, and she must have started to investigate the relationship between the prime minister and Zhou Bihuai. It was normal for the prime minister to want to guard against her, but why did Xuan Pinghou and others arouse the emperor's displeasure?

Compared to the third prince before, didn’t the Holy One always have a good impression of the eleventh prince?
"This is because you don't understand the Holy Spirit."

Concubine De told her that whether it was the case of deposing the crown prince or the hidden displeasure with the third prince, the Holy Emperor was never targeting them personally.

"The eleventh prince is young. Even if he succeeds to the throne, it will definitely take a long time. But the situation of the deposed prince was different back then."

The deposed prince is the only prince who has conquered the world with the Holy Emperor. He is quite prestigious among the people and the court. Such a son is not lovable to an emperor who is weakening day by day.Ke Yiqing understood, "The third prince is young and strong now. No wonder the Holy One doesn't like him."

The queen was well aware of this, and with the recent defection of the champion, she had been warning her followers not to push forward. At this time, compared to the aggressive Chu Yun party, in the heart of the emperor, she seemed much more docile.

"It's all unreasonable. Winning or losing in the moment won't determine anything. No one knows who the winner is until the end."

But no matter what, Concubine De was happy to learn that the prime minister and Chu Yun had started fighting among themselves.

Ke Yiqing said: "Besides this good thing today, I have one more thing I want to ask."

"Just say it."

She raised her eyebrows, "Is this true?"

Concubine De ate her chess piece and said with a smile: "When has my word failed to keep my word?"

When it came to this matter, she also said bluntly, "What I want to ask about is Marquis Wu'an's secret army."

"This is actually what happened."

The other party pondered for a moment, but without hiding it, he told her bluntly that the army was indeed on her mother's territory now.

"At that time, Marquis Wu'an had just been beheaded, and the rest of the aristocratic families were eager to avoid suspicion. Only my father swallowed a lot, and the army was raised on a hilltop."

"Mountain?"

"Yes, it was originally just an ordinary hilltop, but no one has ever opened up wasteland. Later, when there was a famine, my father remembered this and sent people to check. Unexpectedly, the people sent always never returned. "

Once or twice, it barely made sense, but more times made people suspicious. If you didn't check, you wouldn't know. But when you checked, you were shocked. It turned out that the hilltop was where Wu'an Hou's army was stationed.

The disaster for Marquis Wu'an's family came suddenly, so he naturally had no time to arrange this army, but he didn't want to be missed by Marquis Xuanping.

"No wonder, when the famine first started, Marquis Xuanping was surprisingly generous."

"It's just exchanging some medicinal materials for food."

"For food?"

"Yes, after the mountain was taken over by my father, no one has been transporting supplies to them. These soldiers expanded their territory and planted a lot of food."

Originally, it was normal for soldiers to occasionally farm in peacetime, but with the rise of the cold epidemic, more and more of their colleagues fell, and the army gradually became unable to hold on.

Marquis Xuanping also proposed the trade of medicinal materials in exchange for food at the right time. He did not have a tiger talisman, so he did not dare to dream of controlling this army, but it was food!Food that can be exchanged for real money!
During the famine, who's eyes turned red when they mentioned food?

Although Marquis Xuanping was a wealthy and noble man, he did not mind having too much money, so he started this business.

Ke Yiqing was stunned. She never expected that the food that she had been asked to guess the source of was actually grown by the soldiers.

"When you say this, I feel annoyed."

Concubine De looked troubled and said that because of the champion, the whole court paid special attention to food. Her mother's family had too much food of unknown origin, which had long aroused suspicion from others.

"If you have a way to tell that army to leave, do it quickly, so that no one will suffer a disaster in vain."

If this army is found out, regardless of whether Marquis Xuanping intends to rebel, he will definitely not be able to live with it. (End of chapter)
