After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

It's rare for the emperor to be so pleased, but there are always people who don't know how to look at things in their eyes and make things difficult for him.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Southwest has guarded this area for many years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Perhaps there is some hidden reason behind his actions. Why kill him so completely?"

"The ancestors of the Marquis of Southwest have all made great contributions. Your Majesty, why don't you show some mercy while you can, have Fang Yin withdraw his troops, and invite the Marquis of Southwest back for questioning?"

An old minister said.

Meng Yi sneered: "Master Hong is quite broad-minded. No wonder he didn't die of anger after raising someone else's son for over thirty years."

Giving someone else a son to raise is not a mistake.

His wife had an affair with his cousin before she got married. She gave birth to a son prematurely shortly after they got married.

But five years ago, the Huang family found out that there was no premature birth at all. The eldest son of the Huang family was born full-term and was the biological son of the lady's cousin.

"You..." Boss Hong was so angry that his hair stood up.

"What do you mean? Boss Huang is old and can be cowardly and tolerant. Your Majesty is in the prime of life, wise and majestic. He doesn't need to be gentle when dealing with a small-time person like the Marquis of Southwest."

Meng Yi spoke frankly.

Boss Hong's chest was heaving with anger and he almost passed out.

Meng Yi didn't even look at him. A few days ago, some people in the court squeezed him, and this old man Hong was one of them.

At that time he was very old and frail, but he looked very arrogant.

"Your Majesty..." Old Lord Hong burst into tears and looked towards the dragon throne with his old eyes, ready to speak emotionally and let Your Majesty make the decision for him.

Unexpectedly, the emperor sighed and said, "Your Majesty Hong is old and confused. You should enjoy your retirement."

If being old is considered an expression of emotion, then being old and confused is a naked expression of the emperor’s disgust.

The last sentence, "live out your life in peace and contentment," determined the fate of Mr. Hong.

Not to mention being dismissed from office, I'm afraid I won't be able to return home in glory.

Seeing this, the court officials no longer dared to say anything.

As early as when the emperor and Fang Yin were conspiring, they had already made up their minds to take over the southwest.

They talk too much and only end up being disliked.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue currently has some silver and grain in reserve... which can be used to assist the Major General."

The Minister of Revenue suddenly spoke.

The atmosphere in the court changed completely, and people began to discuss how to better end the war.

After the morning court session, the Minister of War and Meng Yi were kept and invited to the Imperial Study.

When the officials saw this, they could only sigh in their hearts.

It feels like those who ridiculed and suppressed Meng Yi in the court a few days ago have all become clowns.

On that day, the general's mansion received many invitations from ladies from various mansions who wanted to invite Qian Fengping to visit them or wanted to pay her a visit.

All of a sudden, Qian Fengping became popular again.

She thought about it and turned them all down.

It’s not that she’s arrogant, but something really happened. Wu Dongjia’s new cake promotion is about to begin.

As the head pastry chef and owner, how could she not be busy?

Meng Lan has been quite free lately, ahem, originally she had a lot of embroidery work to do in preparation for her wedding.

But she revealed that day that she was not good at needlework, so Fang Yin said that she didn't need to do it, and he would ask an embroiderer to do it. He felt sorry for her if she pricked her hands.

Since the man has said so, General Meng and his wife will not make things difficult for their daughter.

Meng Lan had some free time. She wanted to participate in the cake party and help Qian Fengping.

Qian Fengping had prepared a lot of new products, so she readily agreed if he needed help.

Everything was going smoothly and seemed to be heading in a good direction, but something went wrong at night.

The prince is really critically ill.

People from the palace knocked on the door of Fang's house at night, and Fang Nanzhi entered the palace at night.

Fang Tong stuffed a purse into the eunuch's pocket, wanting to accompany his daughter into the palace.

Last time, my daughter was almost assassinated. This palace is not safe at all.

The eunuch confiscated the purse but agreed to take him there.

Fang Nanzhi got on the carriage and looked at her brother.

Qin Yan nodded vigorously.

As soon as the carriage left, Qin Yan immediately returned to the house and entered the space to work.

Qian Fengping stood guard at the door of the child's room, afraid that someone would accidentally go in and see something.

Qin Yan put all his accumulations of the past few days on the shelves, from the Tiancan silk that he had obtained with great difficulty to the paintings and calligraphy collected from his classmates in the Imperial College.

A limited time promotion has started in the store.

This was learned from other trading malls. They also offer time-limited products. For example, if you want to buy high-level weapons, they split the weapon into three parts and let you buy them in batches. During this period, you need to keep an eye on the trading mall to grab the goods in time.

They don’t have any products that can be split at the moment, but they will be able to do so later.

The goods that the brother and sister stockpiled were to be sold at high prices, but something happened to the prince, and the points they could get immediately were the most important, so they changed the selling mode to discounts.

Fang Nanzhi and his daughter followed the young eunuch and entered the Eastern Palace without any obstruction.

It was not convenient for the young eunuch to enter the main house, so he made a gesture to invite him in.

The father and daughter went in and found only the prince and Old Zhou in the room.

Qing Yan was so thin that his bones were visible. He was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, obviously in a coma.

Old Zhou also looked haggard and older, and his clothes were covered in blood.

It's not his, it's all Qing Yan's.

Seeing his apprentice coming, he gestured to her to take his pulse.

"Just do your best. As a teacher, I am powerless to change the situation."

Mr. Zhou's voice was hoarse, hiding unspeakable sorrow.

He stayed in the East Palace every day, but he could not get rid of the poison and could only watch the prince lose weight.

Fang Nanzhi's eyes were red. It had only been a short time since they last saw each other, so how could his little friend become like this?

She calmed herself down, washed her hands, and then went forward to take the patient's pulse.

This time the pulse was... too weak, so weak that it took her a long time to hear the slightest movement.

Qingyan is already at the end of his rope.

Fang Tong looked at the skinny boy lying on the bed and felt uncomfortable.

This child, at such a young age, how could...

"Master, why is the poison so severe all of a sudden?"

Fang Nanzhi had tears in her eyes.

"Tonight, there was the sound of a zither in the East Palace, and then the Crown Prince's poison completely broke out, and the master could no longer control it..."

Mr. Zhou felt a little exhausted.

He has been secretly studying the poisonous insects for many years. Although he has no solution, he has figured out some patterns.

Gu worms are generally divided into mother Gu and daughter Gu. If you want the Gu worm to attack, it is the mother Gu that will do it.

The farther apart the mother and child insects are, the more limited the insect's power is. On the contrary, the closer they are, the stronger the mother insect's control is.

Why did the emperor seal off the Eastern Palace so tightly?

On the one hand, it was to prevent the news from being leaked, for fear that those people would know the true situation of the prince; on the other hand, it was to control the Eastern Palace, so that there were confidants inside and outside the Eastern Palace, and those who were pregnant with the mother poison could not get close.

But no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't prevent it.

A maid in the Eastern Palace played a strange tune and then committed suicide.

The prince also had one foot in the gate of hell.

Fang Nanzhi clenched his fists. Today, the court officials just found out that Second Uncle was attacking the southwest. Tonight, Qing Yan...

It's impossible to say there's no connection.

The person who put the poison in the prince's body must have sensed the threat and was afraid that the emperor would send someone from the southwest to remove the poison, so he gave up torturing the prince and wanted to take his life instead.

"Where is your Majesty?"

Fang Nanzhi suddenly asked.

At the same time, she was communicating quickly with the system in her mind.
