Chapter 728: Light and Dark
If he didn't know anything about it, then Lin Zhixuan didn't believe it. But since Wei Yanting had already said so, the meaning was already very clear. still doesn't have complete trust in Lin Zhixuan, and this time it's just to let Lin Zhixuan and Wei Mingxu relax their defense against Mu Huasheng, so that she can take advantage of it and escape smoothly.
It's just that since the words have come to this point, they are similar to what he said to the old lady when he went to the Zhongyong Mansion. Since Wei Yanting came to beg for peace in person, Lin Zhixuan didn't want to tear her face with him, even if she didn't want to, she still had to respond.
Lin Zhixuan naturally wants to play with him: "In this case, what can I and your fourteenth uncle help you with?"
Wei Yanting said: "The mother concubine is just too frightened, I don't know where to hide and refuse to come out, I just hope that my aunt and the fourteenth uncle can tell the world, now that the assassin has been caught, and the palace guards have been removed, don't make the palace panic anymore, the mother concubine ...... The mother concubine may be willing to come out. ”
Lin Zhixuan listened to Wei Yanting's words, which were no different from what she had guessed, Lin Zhixuan nodded in response, and said, "If the origin of the assassin is clear, then the guards in the palace should naturally be removed." ”
Wei Yanting kowtowed and thanked Lin Zhixuan again.
Seeing that Wei Yanting was so completely grateful, Lin Zhixuan's mind had also moved slightly, and Wei Yanting thought that he was completely sure, making the origin of the assassin clear and clear.
Lin Zhixuan added another sentence: "Yanting, it is said that the emperor's house is the most affectionate. But when I see you today, for the sake of your mother, you can give everything you have, regardless of everything, what is the difference between you and the ordinary people's family? Although your fourteenth uncle is cold and solemn to people, he is a cold-hearted person, and he also cherishes flesh and blood affection the most.
So at the beginning, even if your mother did many wrong things for you, your fourteenth uncle still couldn't bear to be punished with death. This time, if you were willing to come and talk to me and your fourteenth uncle earlier, things would not have come to such a point.
What you say today, whether it is true or not, I will listen to what you are saying in your heart, and I hope that the two of us will pierce this layer of window paper from now on and be honest with each other. In fact, what to change the surname and join the sect is just a false ceremony. As long as you have the heart, you really treat your fourteenth uncle and my aunt as relatives. In terms of government affairs, I can help the prince to implement the new policy together and do things that benefit the country and the people, and your fourteenth uncle and I are happier than anything else.
At the beginning, you said that you were young and ignorant, which is why you had such a different hope. I don't know what you're fighting for in the first place. If it is to have an opportunity to benefit the people and show your ambitions, now that your fourteenth uncle is broad-minded and tolerant, he will naturally not give you the opportunity to show your ability.
And if you are just greedy for power and have no intention of serving the country and the people, then even if one day, you really sit in that position, you will regret that the monstrous burden on your shoulders is not a good feeling. It is best for you to be a rich idler. ”
Wei Yanting listened to Lin Zhixuan's sincere words, and his heart was also moved, and he thanked Lin Zhixuan for her teachings.
Lin Zhixuan looked at his thoughtful face, and didn't know how much he understood.
Lin Zhixuan looked at the sky outside and it was not early, and she originally planned to send off the guests, but she never thought that Wei Yanting suddenly added: "My nephew has one more thing I want to tell my aunt." At the beginning, it was Sister Lu Yan who wanted to help her nephew, so she came to ask her aunt, but Sister Lu Yan was afraid that she didn't know how to understand some of these things, and which sentence was inappropriate, which made Aunt and Uncle Fourteen angry.
The nephew came today to plead with his mother and concubine, and also to ask his aunt for sin. Aunt Wanwang must not alienate the county lord of Luyan because of her nephew's affairs, she is just warm-hearted. ”
Lin Zhixuan listened to Wei Yanting's words, but she felt heartwarming, and said with a pleasant face: "I grew up with her since I was a child, so naturally I won't blame her for this little thing." Now that your marriage with the eldest girl of the Liang family is approaching, it is time to go back and prepare for your life. I'm not going to leave you for dinner. ”
Wei Yanting bothered again, confessed, and left.
Lin Zhixuan ordered someone to set the meal, while looking at Wei Mingxu who turned out from behind the screen.
Before Lin Zhixuan could say anything, she saw that Du Qin outside had turned back in a hurry.
Du Qin gave Wei Mingxu a big salute: "Back to the prince, the assassin has confessed that he was originally a eunuch in the palace, and that night he went to Jingren Palace to assassinate the concubine, and the concubine fled in a hurry. And when asked who instructed him, he insisted that no one instructed him, but at the beginning, Concubine Mu had mistreated him, and he was resentful and didn't want Concubine Mu to escape, so he went to assassinate him. Lord Wang didn't believe it, and tortured him, but the slave couldn't keep the punishment and bit his tongue and committed suicide. ”
The assassin had already been caught, and Du Qin came over on behalf of Wang Jingsheng to ask Wei Mingxu what he meant, should martial law in the palace be removed?
Lin Zhixuan sneered, but it was really neat.
Wei Mingxu said to Du Qin: "Tell Wang Jingsheng and tell the public that the assassin has been caught." The king also ordered him to dismiss the guards guarding the palace. It's just that Wang Jingsheng felt that there was a serious hidden danger in the guards forbidden in the palace because of the assassin who hurt people in the palace, so he changed the rules of guarding the palace guards in order to prevent such a thing from happening in the future. The guards on duty in the palace remain the same as before, and there is no need to cut them. ”
Du Qin had already understood the meaning of Wei Mingxu's words, this thing was to be done in the name of Wang Jingsheng.
Lin Zhixuan also knew that Wei Mingxu did not accept Wei Yanting's statement in his heart.
Just look at the arrangements made by Wei Yanting in order to rescue Concubine Mu, even if it is really the same as what he said, if it is just for the sake of flesh and blood, the ghost tricks in this are also deeply calculated.
If it weren't for Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan not being moved by Lu Yan, blocking the palace and strictly investigating the inner palace, Wei Yanting and Mu Huashang would have had nothing to do, and they would not have come to Lin Zhixuan today to make that generous statement.
Wei Yanting said that he had a disagreement with Wei Mingxu and competed for the throne because of the situation, but now he has corrected it. But today's events, for Wei Yanting, are they not forced by the situation?
In the future, he will certainly regret it without hesitation.
"Lord Wang, don't you even give him a chance if you don't trust him like this?" Lin Zhixuan was soft-hearted after all.
Wei Mingxu said: "Ah Zhi, I grew up watching Yanting with my own eyes, what kind of child he is, and how many twists and turns there are in his heart, no one knows better than me." If he had had had the slightest talent, I would have helped him to the throne without hesitation. It's just that he was taught by his mother, and he only has some tricks in his heart......"
