The days in the palace passed quickly. Feng Yi had promised Yun Zhao to take her incognito, so he actually searched for her for a whole day, and only two people quietly went down the mountain.

Yun Zhao originally planned to take Concubine Shu and the others out to play, but when the Queen Mother fell ill, the matter fell through.

She mentioned to Feng Yi, "This year is a broken promise. I will have to make up for it next year."

Feng Yi looked at her, why did he think Yun Zhao was so interested in the concubines in his harem?

 As the weather gets cooler day by day, returning to Beijing is on the agenda.

The Queen Mother directly proposed to return to the palace to recuperate. After all, the news of her previous illness had spread throughout the palace and outside, which could be regarded as laying the foundation.

This time, Concubine An made a serious statement and asked Your Majesty to allow her to accompany the Queen Mother back to the palace to serve the Queen Mother.

At this time, Yun Zhao found out that An Shutong actually had such a plan, which was quite surprising.

Concubine Shu looked at the noble concubine and said: "She is really smart. It would be great to follow the queen mother back to the palace. It is such a big palace, and you can do whatever you want. You are free and happy. I don't know how happy it is."

Concubine Zhuang glanced at her after hearing this, "That must be someone who can endure loneliness."

Although the palace is nice, she and the Queen Mother are the only masters. When the Queen Mother eventually gets old, what will An Shutong do then?

 Leave her to live alone in the palace, then her life will be difficult.

Yun Zhao listened to the words of the two and said slowly: "Since it is her own choice, she has already figured it out after thinking about it. Besides, she has served the Queen Mother with merit and will definitely find a place in the future."

This credit alone can guarantee her prosperity and wealth for the rest of her life.

An Shutong's choice was not wrong. What would be the benefit if she followed him back to the palace.

The Queen Mother returned to the palace, and if she did not follow her, others would only comment behind her back that she was unkind and ungrateful. The Queen Mother treated her with great kindness, but she was ungrateful and filial.

 At that time, An Shutong's life in the palace was suffering.

If it were her, she would definitely choose to go with the Queen Mother.

Having hit so many walls, Yun Zhao thinks An Shutong’s choice this time is good.

 After all, as long as the Queen Mother is in the palace, she will not and cannot use her. If she doesn't use her, An Shutong's position in the palace will be very embarrassing.

 She can be regarded as the queen dowager if she succeeds, or the queen dowager if she fails.

The label of Queen Mother is firmly attached to her. Only after the Queen Mother dies can An Shutong be considered free.

“What the noble concubine said makes sense. It seems that An Shutong is a smart man.” Concubine Shu said with a smile.

Concubine Zhuang looked at the noble concubine's brows and asked, "Does the noble concubine feel that something is inappropriate?"

Song Yunzhao shook his head, "I just thought that An Bin could take the initiative to share your Majesty's worries and serve the Queen Mother back to the palace. This can be regarded as a great achievement. Let's do this. Let's make a trick together and ask for credit for An Bin. That's all. He deserves a promotion for his contribution."

An Shutong is so knowledgeable that she has less worries in the harem. She is not a heartless person, so she will naturally be given a future.

Concubine Shu rolled her eyes and said, "You are really kind-hearted."

Concubine Zhuang thought that it was the concubine's kindness that allowed her to be where she is today, Concubine Shu was to be where she is today, and now it was Concubine An's turn.

“My Majesty, what you say makes sense, and you should be rewarded for your merits.”

 Concubine Zhuang agreed. After the Queen Mother withdraws from the harem, it will be much easier for them to work in the harem in the future. This future is worth it.

 Shu Fei:…

Fine.

 Handed over the certificates for the imperial concubine and the third concubine, Feng Yi hesitated for a moment before deciding. Before Feng Yi returned to the palace, he sent off the Queen Mother. Two days before seeing off the Queen Mother, he issued an order to promote Concubine An to Concubine An Gui.

 Not only was the Queen Mother surprised, An Shutong was also surprised.

Knowing that it was the imperial concubine and the third concubine who presented the book, An Shutong made a special trip to express her gratitude before leaving.

Yun Zhao didn't see her, and Concubine An kowtowed outside the calyx building, then turned and left.

Even though the third concubine and the noble concubine were invited together, An Shutong knew that this must be the concubine's intention.

Being able to get such a favor before leaving was very beneficial for her to stay in the palace for a long time. No one would say that she was brought back to the palace by the Queen Mother like a bereaved dog.

Feng Yi asked the Minister of Rites to **** the Queen Mother to the palace on his behalf. One day later, the emperor drove back to Beijing.

 The Mid-Autumn Festival arrived not long after returning to Beijing. This was a Mid-Autumn Festival without the Queen Mother. Song Yunzhao, the leader, had a comfortable festival.

There is no need to worry about the Queen Mother finding trouble for no reason, nor does she have to worry about someone taking advantage of the Queen Mother to cause trouble for her. At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, she sat alone in a high position, showing off her domineering attitude as a beloved concubine.

 After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gets colder day by day.

 Before winter, a big event happened.

The pirates raided Huizhou and set fire to hundreds of houses. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. Hundreds of people died.

Hundreds of scholars gathered outside the governor's office in Huizhou and petitioned the court to remove Ding Xian from his post as governor. The petition stated that Ding Xian's negligence caused pirates to come ashore and attack the people, resulting in the death of hundreds of people at the hands of the pirates.

Ding Xian was not in Huizhou the night the pirates landed. He rushed back after the incident and was suspected of being an accomplice to the bandits.

Ding Xian was furious, scolding the students for confusing right and wrong, and even jailed the leading person. This completely angered these scholars. More and more people went to Huizhou to besiege the Governor's Mansion, and even more common people joined them. Huizhou Messy.

He Lanyun entered the palace with a full belly, knelt in front of the imperial concubine, and asked the imperial concubine for help.

Yun Zhao helped He Lanyun up and looked at her with a frown, "What are you doing? With King Zhenbei here, things won't be too bad."

He Lanyun shook her head and cried, "My father is a direct minister and only loyal to the emperor. He will not speak up for his brother-in-law."

Yun Zhao still doesn’t know what happened. The news came too suddenly, and there is no such thing in the book. She doesn’t know whether the news is true or false.

Based on her friendship with He Lanyun, she was not sure how much of the information He Lanyun got from Mrs. Ding was true.

  After all, this Mrs. Ding has a criminal record and once helped the Zhao family to trick the Song family. Although she was unsuccessful, Yun Zhao was always a little wary of her.

But seeing He Lanyun crying like this, Yun Zhao helped her sit down and tried to persuade her: "You are pregnant now and take care of yourself and your child. Governor Ding has been stationed in Huizhou for many years, and His Majesty has great trust in him. What happened For such a thing, an imperial envoy will definitely be sent to investigate. The truth will definitely come to light by then, so you just have to wait with peace of mind."

He Lanyun shook her head, covered her face with a handkerchief, and uttered after a long while, "Yun Zhao, you don't know that the pirate has my brother-in-law's token in his hand."

Song Yunzhao was shocked, "What did you say?"

He Lanyun cried at the desk, "My brother-in-law has been framed. How can I get rid of the crime?"

Song Yunzhao's mind flashed. The pirates came ashore overnight without any obstruction. It turned out that they were holding the governor's token!

“Who told you this news?” Yun Zhao asked in a deep voice.

 The emperor doesn’t even know it yet.

 The second update is complete. After completing this case, it is basically over. The countdown has begun, my dears. I haven’t decided whether to write extras or not. I don’t really like writing extras. Let me think about it.
