The two of them went into the house and sat down, and Ning Chen told them about Xingxiu.
"Don't be angry. I didn't believe this at first, but he said it might be bad for the heir to the throne and it might hurt you. I'm worried."
After saying that, he immediately explained.
Seeing the nervousness in those phoenix eyes, Ye Jun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ning Chen was puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
"I am happy." Ye Jun raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up. "I can see that the emperor really cares about me. With the emperor's care, everything else doesn't matter."
After she said this, she seemed even more knowledgeable and polite in Ning Chen's eyes, which made people feel distressed.
I couldn't help but pull him close to my arms and hug him.
"You are so kind, I am lucky to have you."
Ye Jun also responded gently and patted him on the back.
"Since Your Majesty has mentioned this unimportant matter, then it's time for you to accompany me and do business. I'm hungry. What would Your Majesty like for dinner? I'll ask the servants to prepare it."
I took the opportunity to change the topic.
We will have dinner at Zhaochunxuan tonight and stay overnight of course.
And we didn't leave until almost noon the next day.
Langhuaxuan.
"Did the Emperor listen to the Imperial Observatory and go to her place?" Yi Shunyi frowned.
The third prince was ill and had a slight fever last night. She took care of him day and night, so the servants did not dare to disturb him. They only told him yesterday's news today.
Yunxiu nodded, looking unhappy, "Yes, he left before dinner yesterday, and left at almost noon today. It seems that he left because a minister from the previous dynasty came to see him, otherwise he would have left after lunch."
After hearing this, Yi Shunyi's eyes darkened.
"The emperor still favors the Ye family, and the Imperial Observatory has not been taken seriously since the last emperor. Maybe the emperor didn't listen to the Imperial Observatory at all."
If he didn't listen and insisted on making Ye the queen, then all his efforts would be in vain.
But it was so hard to get such a good opportunity that no one could see any clues.
"I think that if only the emperor knows about it, then the decision will be up to him alone. But if more people know about it, including the ministers in the court, the emperor will at least take it into consideration," said Yunxiu.
Yi Shunyuan thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense, so she whispered a few words and asked someone to go down and make arrangements.
On the other hand, after Ning Chen left, Ye Jun also asked someone to investigate whether anyone from the harem was involved in this matter.
Ning Chen is a man and may not understand women's thoughts, but Ye Jun does.
The women in the harem can do whatever they want in anything. Compared to Ning Chen, Ye Jun believes even less in ghosts, gods, and stars, so no matter how coincidental it is, she has to investigate it.
And during the one or two days that she was investigating, people outside the palace knew about this matter.
For a time, many court officials believed that the emperor doted on Ye Jun too much, which led to many people in the harem suffering from illness.
After all, Qin Wanrong has never been favored, and she just became pregnant with the royal heir. How can it be easy to attack a pregnant woman
Should she be asked to have an abortion? This is obviously impossible.
Therefore, Ye Jun, who was the most favored concubine in the harem, became the main target of attack.
There are many officials in the court who have their own daughters in the harem. Who would want to see Ye Yun standing alone
"Did someone really say that?" Ye Jun's face was cold.
Kong Qing nodded and said carefully, "I went to Jiuchen Palace to inquire and heard that at the morning court today, the Imperial Censor Sun proposed that you, Zhaoyuan, leave the palace to pray for blessings and come back after all the sick people in the harem have recovered."
"Is there anyone who seconded this motion?" Ye Jun lowered his eyes.
"Yes, but not much." Kong Qing said truthfully.
"Okay, I get it, you can go down."
Ye Jun waved his hands, feeling somewhat annoyed.
Huiyue handed over some tea with a worried look on her face, "Zhaoyuan, what should we do?"
It sounds simple to leave the palace and pray for blessings.
Where to pray? There is no definite time for coming back. Moreover, once she goes out, she will not be able to see the emperor for a long time. There are other concubines in the harem, which is naturally disadvantageous to Ye Jun in every way.
Even if we don't talk about it and lose his favor, can we take the Fourth Prince with us when we leave the palace
The fourth prince is still young, and there are many people in the harem who are eyeing him covetously. If he is away from his mother, he will be in great danger.
As things developed to this point, Ye Jun felt more and more that there must be someone behind the scenes directing and pushing things.
However, this matter escalated too quickly. In just a few days, nothing has been found out yet.
The only useful clue was obtained today.
Li Jin of the Imperial Observatory was a distant cousin of Li Wanrong's father, Li Daoqin, the Jingzhao Yin.
Actually, Li Wanrong could call Li Jin her cousin.
However, the two families have had no contact since Li Wanrong's grandfather, and no obvious connection has been found recently.
Ye Jun's eyes were dark. In this matter, she had to either find out as soon as possible that someone was behind this and clear her name, or she would have to leave the palace.
After all, the people suffering from the disease in the harem include the empress dowager and the royal heirs, and it is also claimed that it will affect other royal heirs.
If someone takes advantage of this reputation and frames her, the loss will be even greater.
British Mansion.
In the study, Duke Yingguo and his son Chen Xianyi were sitting and talking.
"What do you think about this matter?" asked the Duke of England.
Chen Xianyi lowered his eyes, "My son thinks this is an opportunity. Ming Zhaoyuan has been favored for many years, and now she is the most favored in the harem. Even if she leaves the palace to pray, she will come back someday. However, during this time she is away from the palace, she can do a lot of things. The emperor has many concubines in the harem, and he will bring in several new ones next year."
What he said naturally coincided with what the Duke of England said.
He nodded with satisfaction, "If you have a plan in mind, go ahead and make the arrangements. Don't forget that the Queen Mother is ill, and you have to pay your respects to her as well."
"Yes, son, I understand." Chen Xianyi bowed.
He has grown very well in the past two years. Although there are other illegitimate children in the mansion, the Duke of England has always discussed matters only with him.
Now the servants in the mansion respect him very much, and some even regard him as the future head of the family.
That night, the Queen Mother's condition worsened.
I started having nightmares and talking nonsense.
The imperial physician came to see her, and immediately gave her acupuncture and prescribed some medicine, explaining that it was because the empress dowager was old and weak, and her illness had not been cured for a long time, so it became more serious.
At the same time, Concubine Jingde, who was not sick originally, also fell ill that night.
They are both symptoms of wind-cold.
On the second day, there were more voices in the court requesting that Myeong So-won be allowed to leave the palace to pray for blessings.
There are even people who are not afraid of death and say that no matter how much the emperor favors his concubines, he must not forget filial piety and must consider the empress dowager and the royal offspring.
It was also at this time that Ye Jun discovered his shortcomings.
There is no one in Beijing.
His elder brother Ye Zhe was far away in the frontier, his two cousins, Chu Yunhuai were exiled to Lanzhou and Chu Yunhong was in Bianzhou, and only his cousin Ye Huai was an official in the Ministry of War in Beijing.
But he had just entered the court and had no influence at all.
It is true that Ye Jun’s family is quite powerful, but there are very few people in the court who can speak up for her in time.
This situation also made Ning Chen feel a little overwhelmed.
