Afraid that he would not be able to explain to King Gong, and in order to make meritorious contributions, Li Hujun asked people to find two people in the northwest who were similar to the body of Weiguo Gongwei, and after killing, they disguised themselves as drowned, and sent people to Shengjing.

The body was still on the road, but the news that Wei Guogong and Wei Xing were assassinated and fell off the cliff halfway quickly reached Shengjing.

In this regard, Emperor Wanhua only casually said a few words of concern, and hurriedly announced that he would go to the court and rush to the harem.

This move chilled the hearts of many courtiers, and some officials who had remained neutral also leaned towards King Gong.

King Gong was cautious and suspicious, until the body was transported to Shengjing, and he asked people to carefully check and check it, and after confirming that the body was the "Wei family father and son", he spread the news of the death of the Wei family father and son.

Then he personally delivered the body to the gate of the Patriotic Mansion.

Since the news of Wei Guogong and Wei Xing's fall from the cliff came back to Shengjing, Duchess Wei Guo ordered the door of the mansion to be closed and did not welcome any guests.

"My husband is not dead, my son must be alive and well, I don't recognize that the two bodies are my husband and son, please take them away." Duchess Weiguo's attitude was unusually resolute.

For a moment, King Gong was also suspicious, could it be that these two corpses were really not Wei Guogong and Wei Xing?

But the subordinates of the gatekeeper of the Guogong Mansion looked sad and sad, as if they believed that the master was dead.

For a while, King Gong couldn't figure it out, so he had to say with regret: "Mrs. Wei, this king knows that it is difficult for you to accept the facts. But please also open the door to your husband and son, and set up a funeral hall for them. ”

As soon as the words fell. Duchess Wei Guo screamed: "What funeral, what mourning hall?" My husband didn't die! My son is alive and well! They're all fine, they're still fighting in the northwest, and they're coming back soon, why should I set up a mourning hall?! Don't bewitch the crowd here, get out, get out of me! ”

Through a thin crack in the door. King Gong couldn't see the expression of the Duchess of Wei Guo standing inside, but judging from the hysterical words, the woman seemed to have gone crazy.

Then. A sentence came from inside the door: "The young lady is here." ”

Immediately afterwards, the red flag door was opened from the inside, and An Ruolan walked out with a haggard face and a pale face carried by the maid. Got closer. King Gong noticed that her eyes were red. His eyes are blank, and he has lost his agility and intelligence in the past.

She first saluted King Gong, and then looked at the two coffins behind King Gong, and her already bloodshot eyes suddenly became redder.

King Gong didn't show his expression and comforted: "The festival mourns and changes." ”

An Ruolan shook her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Like my mother, I don't believe that my father and Wei Xing are dead, Lord Wang." Can I see what they look like? ”

"Absolutely." King Gong nodded.

An Ruolan immediately walked two quick steps to the coffin and didn't let anyone help. I wanted to push the lid open.

King Gong saw that her hands were trembling, and she didn't move the lid of the coffin for a long time, so he raised his chin to the guards who carried the coffin, and the guards stepped forward to help push the lid away.

An Ruolan couldn't thank her, and lay down by the coffin to look.

In King Gong's impression, An Ruolan has always been a steady and polite girl, but now she has forgotten even the most basic etiquette, which shows that she is in a hurry.

Seeing the scene in the coffin, An Ruolan's face became even paler, she shook her head in disbelief, and her voice began to tremble: "How can this be ......?"

King Gong knew that it was the appearance of the corpse that frightened her. Not to mention that she is a weak female streamer, even him, when he saw it for the first time, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, because the death of the two corpses was too miserable.

The corpse was covered with knife wounds, and its limbs showed a strange and twisted posture due to falling off the cliff, and because it had been soaked in the water for too long, the corpse was swollen, and it was almost impossible to see the original appearance.

King Gong saw that An Ruolan trembled and stretched out her hands, as if she wanted to touch the corpse in the coffin, but she shrank back in fear, she wept silently, kept shaking her head, and muttered in her mouth: "No, no, he won't become like this, impossible, how could he become like this......"

In the end, I couldn't cry anymore.

She straightened up suddenly, her expression suddenly became calm and cold, and said, "This is not Wei Xing, not him." ”

King Gong's heart jumped, thinking that she had identified the authenticity of the corpse in the coffin, and was about to ask questions, but the maid next to her cried bitterly and said: "Young lady, wake up, this is the young master, he also brought the sachet you made for him, the young master has always been the most precious, it is impossible to leave!" Madame is already crazy, don't you become like that! ”

"No, he's not a guard, no!" An Ruolan took two steps back, hugged his head and shouted hoarsely: "He said he would come back, he won't lie to me!" It's not him, it's not him! Ahh!!hh ”

After screaming, she seemed to use all her strength and fell backwards.

"Young lady!" The maid screamed and stepped forward to support her, already in tears.

King Gong saw this scene in his eyes, and secretly laughed at his suspicion in his heart, in such a dangerous situation, how could Wei Guogong and Wei Xing escape, and Li Hujun was his loyal and capable subordinate, and it was even more impossible to deceive and confuse him.

Thinking about this, An Ruolan just can't face the reality, so it's like this.

Relieved, King Gong comforted the Duchess of Wei Guo earnestly, and then left.

The death of the father and son of the Wei family has spread all over Shengjing, some regret the early death of Wei Xingying, An Ruolan was widowed at a young age, and there are also those who lamented that Wei Guogong Rong Ma died miserably in his life, and the streets and alleys are talking about the Wei family and Emperor Wanhua who turned a blind eye to the death of the heroes.

Duchess Wei Guo never admitted that the body belonged to Wei Guogong and Wei Xing, she did not arrange the mourning hall, nor did she prepare coffins for her husband and son, she only stayed in the room every day, did not eat or drink.

An Ruolan fell ill and couldn't get up from bed all day long.

The heads of the house have fallen, and the general affairs of the house. The family's business fell to Wei Shao alone, and she gritted her teeth and picked up this burden. Although many things were not handled well, at least the Guogong Mansion was stabilized.

Wei Shao also didn't want to admit that his father and brother had died, but when the body was in front of her, she couldn't help but believe it. Duchess Wei Guo was not allowed to hold funerals, so she had to order two pairs of fine Nanmu coffins, let people carry the corpses to the uninhabited side courtyard in the backyard, and ordered her subordinates to place offerings. Burning paper and incense every day. Fortunately, it is the depths of winter, the weather is very cold, icy and snowy, and the corpse will not decay if it is left like this.

Although there was no funeral in the Guards' House. Many people still came to offer condolences, but the Duchess of Wei Guo was gone, and Wei Shao did not dare to alarm An Ruolan, so he could only come forward to entertain the guests by himself.

Wei Shao is just a girl's family after all. In the past, I was used to playing again. Although she has learned a lot during this time, it is not easy for her to provoke a national mansion by herself, but in a few days, she has lost a lot of weight. Sad and sad, coupled with how busy the house is, she can't eat well if she wants to, so she naturally loses a lot of weight.

When the second prince came to visit, he saw Wei Shao's emaciated cheeks. Needless to say, I feel distressed.

Since King Gong took control of the court, several princes who have entered the court at the age of experience have completely become decorations. Not only did they have no right to speak, but their actions were also restricted and monitored, and they had to live in fear all the time, for fear that King Gong would find an excuse to get rid of them.

Under such circumstances, some princes who saw that the situation was irretrievable secretly made overtures to King Gong, hoping to save their lives, and some were ready to move and wanted to compete with King Gong.

Zhao Yan does not belong to either of the two.

He's not much different from what he's used to be, he's still doing what he's supposed to do.

Prior to this, Zhao Yan's performance was not outstanding among the princes, and King Yigong did not pay much attention to him, only because he was raised under the queen's knees, so he sent someone to monitor him for a period of time, and later saw that he did not make any moves, so he relaxed his vigilance, which made him move a lot more freely.

Zhao Yan has a very close relationship with Wei Xing, although most people don't know about this matter, but this does not include King Gong, now that the Wei family has such a big event, it is reasonable, Zhao Yan can't pretend not to know, if he avoids it, it will attract people's attention, and he swaggers to the Weiguo Mansion to visit the Duchess of Weiguo.

Duchess Wei Guo also didn't see Zhao Yan, so there was a scene where Wei Shao greeted Zhao Yan.

Looking at Wei Shao's tired face, which had lost a lot of weight, Zhao Yan was very distressed, stroked the hair scattered in her ear, and comforted softly: "Don't be too sad and sad, the matter has come to this, it is serious to plan for the future, don't think too much." ”

Although the two are said to be private for life, the relationship has not yet been made public, and it is not good to be too close, but fortunately, the two have known each other for a long time, and their words and deeds have always been casual and natural, so even if the actions are more intimate, no one thinks it is strange.

Hearing this, Wei Shao showed a wry smile and shook his head: "What else can I think?" Now as long as my mother and Ruolan can cheer up, I have nothing else to ask for. ”

For her, the death of her father and brother was painful, but what was even more painful was watching her mother and friends wither.

Zhao Yan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and said instead: "Aunt Wei and Ruolan will cheer up soon, they are not ordinary women." ”

Wei Shao noticed that he wanted to speak and stopped, with her understanding of him, she suddenly had a guess in her heart, and subconsciously grabbed his wrist and asked with her eyes.

Zhao Yan didn't dare to say anything, but said, "Everything will be fine." ”

Wei Shao's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly returned to calm.

Zhao Yan said casually: "If it's convenient, I'll go and visit Aunt Wei and Ruolan, if there is someone to talk to, they may get better soon." ”

Wei Shao nodded and ordered his subordinates to go to the backyard to communicate.

The messenger quickly came back and said, "Miss, Madame said that she thanked the second prince for her kindness, but she really didn't want to meet the guests, so let the slave and maid apologize to His Royal Highness the second prince on her behalf." "Said to be blessed.

"What about my sister-in-law?" Wei Shao asked.

The maid replied: "The young lady's health is even worse, and Mother Liu is worried that she will aggravate her condition when she goes out, so she won't let the young lady come over." ”

Wei Shao's heart sank, his face showed a little worry and sadness, and he blamed himself: "It's me who didn't take good care of my mother and Ruolan, I'm sorry for my father and eldest brother." ”

Zhao Yan patted her shoulder comfortingly and said, "How can I blame you?" Don't blame yourself, now the entire Weiguo Mansion is supported by you, if even you are defeated, who else can Aunt Wei and Ruolan rely on? ”

Wei Shao wiped the corners of his eyes and nodded.

Zhao Yan said again: "In this case, let Ruolan recuperate, and it will be the same if I come to visit another day." You also have to take good care, and don't force yourself if there are any difficulties, otherwise your father and brother will not be at ease. ”

Wei Shao nodded again and again, "Second Brother Yan, don't worry, I have already written a letter to the Northeast, and my uncles will soon come over to help, and when I am free, I will be able to accompany my mother and Ruolan well." ”

"That's good." Zhao Yan patted her head, said a few more words, and left with a melancholy face.

Except for the day of the death of the Duke of Weiguo, Emperor Wanhua never mentioned the Weiguo Mansion again, as if he was just an ordinary person who died, and it was not worth mentioning more. The most he said in the court was to urge the hundred officials to hurry up and report the excerpts, so that he could return to the harem as soon as possible.

Emperor Wanhua's actions undoubtedly aroused the dissatisfaction of many officials.

At the same time, King Gong began to frequent the residences of neutral officials, especially the Zhou Mansion and the Meng State Mansion. (To be continued......)
