Yuchi Gong sneered: "If that pot comes from this foreign concubine, I'm afraid it has something to do with the Huns."
Otherwise, how could a small tribe have the courage to provoke them?
From this point of view, the Huns have always had the intention of invading, and they used this tribe to set up a conspiracy during the late emperor's period. They probably wanted to murder the late emperor and cause chaos, and took the opportunity to invade, but unfortunately they did not succeed.
When Yuchi Gong thought of this, his tone was cold and he said with a smile: "This is such a kindness. Wouldn't it be rude if I didn't reciprocate it?"
Hu Feifei felt a chill in his heart and quickly lowered his head to avoid it. He felt that the emperor's eyes were like an unsheathed sword, with a cold glow.
He thought to himself, "Long live my Lord, didn't you return the favor when you were the crown prince? You overturned the Xiongnu's lair, and everyone dared not return home."
However, Hu Feifei also knew that the nomads were hit and run, and as long as they had a breath left, they could come back very quickly.
Yuchi Gong signaled to continue.
Hu Feifei accepted the order.
With this clue, he focused on investigating this foreign concubine, and sure enough, he found some clues.
An old palace servant who had served this foreign concubine for a while had once seen such a pot by chance.
Because the style of the pot was so special, the palace official was still vaguely impressed.
Hu Feifei said: "Therefore, the pot is most likely from the foreign concubine. Because it is so old, I am only 70-80% sure."
Yuchi nodded respectfully, it was inevitable for him.
For a small clan to travel thousands of miles to offer a concubine to their father, it is extremely suspicious.
There was no need to meet his father, but his father accepted foreign women and put them in the harem. He said that without the promotion of people in the court, he didn't believe it at all.
That small clan is not that capable of manipulating people in the court, so there must be someone from the big clan behind it.
The pot has murderous intentions and must be from a foreign race. The concubine is also from a foreign race and is also involved with the Xiongnu. The whole story is very clear.
But now the pot has reappeared...
Yuchi Gong thought of something for a moment and looked at Hu Feifei: "So, the appearance of the pot has something to do with Shoukang Palace?"
Hu Feifei marveled at the emperor's keenness: "Returning to Lord Long Live, I have verified through many parties that the only ones who have had anything to do with that foreign race are the concubines of Shoukang Palace."
Yuchi Gong smiled slowly. No wonder he hid it so deeply. He just said: "By interfering in my harem, are they taking advantage of someone, or are they trying to support someone to rise to power, or are they saying that they want me to have no heirs to make a bright future for the royal brothers?"
future?"
The group of concubines left behind by the late emperor were never economical, and they had caused the Queen Mother a lot of hidden losses in the past.
After Yuchi Gong ascended the throne, he swept all the concubines away from Shoukang Palace with a wave of his hand, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
In order to fight for the throne for their sons, some concubines stayed in the palace to act as spies after the feudal king passed away, trying to reverse the situation.
Seeing that the situation was over, a concubine pretended to be pitiful and begged to go to her son's domain.
Yuchi allowed himself to cry, and when he had finished crying, he replied with a warm spring breeze: "I remember that when the emperor came to the vassal, my father asked the concubine. At that time, the concubine was unwilling in every possible way, and just wanted to stay and serve my father.
Your Majesty, why don't you sleep with your father now, so that your father won't be lonely in the mausoleum?"
The concubines were so frightened that they immediately stopped, no one wanted to be buried with them.
Now Shoukang Palace is involved in Wu Fang'er's death case, and the other party is targeting the favored concubine in the harem.
In fact, doing this would not hurt Yuchi Gong at all, so the possibility of the last option for a vassal king is unlikely.
The most likely reason is that it is related to the harem struggle. Some people do not want a beloved concubine to appear in the harem, and they collude with Shoukang Palace and secretly promise something.
If so, this person has hidden himself deeply and secretly.
Yuchi Gong thought about all the concubines from the perspective of vested interests, but he couldn't figure out who the hidden person was.
Except for the concubine who was motivated by jealousy, the hidden person did not gain any benefit in Wu Fang'er's case, even if the poisonous plan was successful.
Is it because of hatred?
But the little thief, Wu Fang'er and the concubine framed by jealousy are all new concubines. Who in the palace has such a hatred for them?
Yuchigong couldn't figure it out and ordered Hu Feifei to continue investigating.
Later, Hu Feifei reported that the pot and the insidious twin evil insects had been destroyed, and the harem had also been thoroughly investigated.
Although the two evil insects are vicious and domineering, the living insects have a short life outside the body. They must find a suitable place without light and wind to lay their eggs, otherwise they will die quickly.
The reason why the insect eggs in the pot can be preserved for so long is also due to the unique mechanism of the pot.
Speaking of the Queen Mother, she has never been so miserable in her life.
When you open your eyes, your schedule for the day is already full. When you close your eyes, your plans for tomorrow are already set.
Gone are the days of loose and freewheeling life, now life is regular and rhythmic.
The Queen Mother felt that she had boarded a pirate ship and could not see the shore.
Whenever she couldn't hold on anymore and secretly expressed some unwilling thoughts.
The next moment, the people in Zhuangning Palace began to persuade each other:
"Your Majesty, please continue to persevere. The fact that you eat well and sleep well now is all due to your perseverance."
The Queen Mother thought to herself, isn't it?
Let’s talk about eating well first. I follow small meals and frequent meals every day. The number of meals is many, but I don’t have a full meal.
The amount of food for each main meal is not enough to fill her belly. The variety of snacks is very rich and different for each meal, including various desserts, fruit custard, dried fruits, etc. They are beautiful and delicious, but they only last a few mouthfuls.
It's so big that it can't even fit between the teeth.
Can she not eat well in this situation?
Besides sleeping soundly, that cruel girl had somehow squeezed all her strength away, and she was already exhausted and confused by the time she went to bed. How could she not sleep soundly?
Moreover, that girl knew a lot. Every time she took a break, she would massage her acupoints, which made her whole body relax and feel extremely comfortable.
When her muscles and bones were loosened, the girl used various methods to make different sounds. Sometimes it was gurgling water, sometimes it was a pleasant tinkling sound, sometimes it was knocking on a wooden fish and reciting a scripture. Whenever this happened, she could not think of anything else.
, and fall into sleep peacefully and relaxedly.
The Queen Mother did not realize that her appetite had increased, and she no longer had the bloated condition she had experienced before.
When the palace man persuaded her, she immediately grimaced and asked instead, now that she was well, could she...
Before he finished speaking, the palace people collectively objected:
"My dear, if you give up halfway, all your previous hardships will be in vain. Look at Master Wu, for your sake, she comes and waits for you every day at dawn, and leaves only when it gets dark every night and you fall asleep."
The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, why did everyone in her palace seem to have been bribed by Wu Yatou.
It is this girl she sees when she opens her eyes every day, and it is this girl she sees when she closes her eyes every day. How could she not know this?
She was moved, but if she had known that he was so serious and responsible, how could she have spoken so satisfactorily.
Every time the Queen Mother thinks of what she said before, she regrets it endlessly.
Because she had said too much before, she couldn't go back on her word with Lihua, nor could she complain that she was tired and wanted to rest, so she could only hold on.
Only when Lihua was not around did she complain about how tired she was.
But when Lihua was there, the Queen Mother pretended to be fine, and she was able to do it.
