Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

Princess Xiangyu responded and immediately turned back to the palace.

The entire palace was now shrouded in the shadow of Concubine Yu, and all the concubines in the harem were in danger. For a while, no one could solve the problem. Princess Xiangyu told Concubine Xian the news she had received and asked her to think of a solution immediately.

After hearing the whole story, Concubine Xian looked up helplessly and said, "We can only set up a dragnet to find her, but I'm afraid Concubine Yu in the palace will soon turn the tables. I hope everything is still in time."

Princess Xiangyu felt a pang of grief in her heart. She looked at Concubine Xian and said, "Mother, is there no other way to wake up Father and let Concubine Yu be torn into pieces by five horses?"

"She is now the favorite of His Majesty. What's the point of saying these things?" Concubine Xian sighed, "The only thing we can do now is to bide our time and wait."

"I see that my mother wants to wait, but Concubine Yu may not be willing to wait." Princess Xiangyu sat on the chair helplessly, "When she first entered the palace, I ridiculed her many times because of her humble background. Now that she has turned over, I don't know what trouble she will cause in the future."

"The civil and military officials and we are now like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others." Concubine Xian's words were pertinent, causing Princess Xiangyu and herself to feel worried.

But now, such a big thing cannot be solved with just a few words.

Prime Minister's House.

Yin Yichen was in the courtyard, listening to the news reported by Wei Fu. "I was really panicked when I heard what the Queen Mother said, so I rode back on a fast horse. This matter concerns the country and the people, and the Prime Minister must think of a solution."

Yin Yichen's eyes were cold, and he spoke slowly, "Use your connections to find out where the mage the Queen Mother mentioned is now."

"Yes."

Yin Yichen stood there, thinking back to the time when the Crown Prince and Prince An had both lost their power, and the military power in their hands fell into the hands of others. The Ministry of War and the Imperial Guards were now in the hands of the ministers in the court. The brother of the imperial concubine went to work as an official in the grain department. In the current capital, the grain and grass go before the troops arrive. I'm afraid that everything needed for war is in their hands.

As for the remaining troops, they are under the care of the current mighty general's mansion. Song Jing currently has his own army, which is not under the control of the royal family. This is why he can be relied upon by the royal family and the court.

Yin Yichen understood what was going on and immediately went to find Song Wanning.

Seeing Yin Yichen walking hurriedly, Song Wanning immediately stepped forward, looked at Yin Yichen and laughed, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"

Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and expressed his worries. "The Concubine Yu in the palace and Tang Heng outside the palace are probably the disciples of the late emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Lan. As for the brother of Concubine Yu who just entered the palace, he might be the late emperor's son. They have spent so much effort on this trip, and their wolfish ambitions are obvious. Now their people have mastered many secrets of the court. If we don't prepare for it as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."

"So now, Prime Minister, does he have any solution?" Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen with panic in her eyes.

"The only solution now is to go and discuss with General Song and come up with a plan. The military power of the mighty general's mansion must not fall into the hands of such a villain." Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and said, "You are pregnant now and it is not suitable for you to travel. I will go to the general's mansion to discuss this matter with my father-in-law. You wait for me at home."

Seeing that Yin Yichen had made up his mind, Song Wanning did not stop him and just said softly, "Then come back early. I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Okay." After Yin Yichen said this, he went out with a few personal attendants around him.

Song Wanning stood in the yard, looking at Yin Yichen's departing back with great worry. I'm afraid this matter won't be easily resolved.

Song Wanning sighed twice and sat back in her chair.

Yin Yichen, who was outside, took a carriage and quickly arrived at the general's mansion. Yin Yichen and Song Jing had already resolved their grudges, and the two families were now of the same blood, so naturally they had a good relationship.

Yin Yichen told Song Jing what he knew, and then said to Song Jing, "Now that the master who can prepare the antidote has not been found, the thieves inside and outside the palace are eyeing us covetously. They have already obtained the military power of the Ministry of War and the Imperial Guards. I am afraid that the next focus will be on the military power in the hands of the Military Department and my father-in-law. Now, for the stability of the country and the people of the world, I am afraid we must make arrangements first."

When Song Jing heard what Yin Yichen said, he naturally understood the importance of it and said slowly, "I understand what you mean. Once the military headquarters and the army in my hands fall into the hands of the thieves, if the thieves rebel, I am afraid that the current capital will not have any way to deal with it."

Seeing that Song Jing understood this, Yin Yichen only sighed, "This is truly a critical moment for survival, but I don't know when they will attack, so I can make some plans. I'm afraid they won't have a chance to attack early."

"I'm afraid that Yu Meiren's brother, Gu Jie, who has been appointed as an official in the grain department, will start with the grain department. After all, there are many officials in the grain department, and grain and grass are extremely important. The grain department is naturally the most important, and the one who handles the grain department is the Pei family."

Hearing this, Yin Yichen pursed his lips and said slowly, "Pei Xuanzhi."

However, Yin Yichen did not expect that while he was discussing important matters in the general's mansion, another thing had already happened.

The Pei family has always been the imperial merchant, acting as a link between the inside and outside of the palace. Naturally, the Pei family is also responsible for purchasing and transporting the grain. When Gu Jie first came to the grain road, he took the opportunity to take back a lot of power. However, the Pei family has been in charge of the grain road for decades, and many officials and inside stories can only be solved by the Pei family.

Gu Jie knew about this and immediately planned a false accusation against the Pei family for corruption and abuse of power. Seeing that Pei Xuanzhi was about to be imprisoned because of this incident, Mrs. Pei had no choice but to seek help from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Seeing Madam Pei almost fainting from crying, Song Wanning hurriedly comforted her, "Aunt, drink some water first and then talk slowly."

Mrs. Pei drank some water, then held Song Wanning's hand and told her the whole story, "Wanning, I'm afraid you are the only one who can save Xuanzhi's life now. Our family has always been honest in our lives. How could we do such a corrupt and lawless thing? This is really a rumor, but Gu Jie insisted that our family had embezzled property. What should we do?"
