Seven days after the spirit stopped, the coffin containing Xiao Zou's clothes was buried.

Xiao Zou died unexpectedly in his prime. The news soon spread throughout the capital, and I don't know how much speculation it caused. What's even more surprising is that the Marquis of Weining, who was supposed to be stationed at the border pass, secretly returned to the capital.

The crime of leaving the border without an edict is not small. The Marquis of Wei Ning took the initiative to go to the secret to ask the emperor for guilt, and the emperor summoned the Marquis of Wei Ning into the palace, and the monarch and the ministers talked secretly for a long time, and no one knew what they said. After that, the emperor did not condemn the Marquis of Weining, but issued a decree and ordered the Marquis of Weining to recuperate in the capital for a few months before returning to the border.

The emperor felt that the Marquis of Weining had worked hard to guard the border for many years, and had not been able to get together with his children for ten years, so he specially issued an order to let Ji Ze, the son of the Marquis of Weining, take a long vacation and return to his house until the Marquis of Weining left the capital.

Zhao Gonggong, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, read out the holy decree in a feminine and shrill voice.

Ji Ze knelt down, respectfully accepted the holy decree, and looked grateful: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Zhao Gonggong said with a smile: "The miscellaneous family has served the emperor for so many years, but I have never seen the emperor treat his courtiers with such grace. The prince is busy and hard all day, and this time it can be regarded as the light of the Marquis of Weining, and he can rest in the house for a while. It's really envious of others. ”

Ji Ze raised a smile and responded with a few words, and after Zhao Gonggong left, the smile suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were gloomy and cold.

In the eyes of others, the emperor is very favored by the father and son of Weininghou. But for Ji Ze, this "long vacation" is by no means a good thing.

Originally, taking advantage of Murong Hui's absence in the capital, he could secretly win over his subordinates and quickly control the guards and infantry troops. In the future, Murong Hui died unexpectedly, and he could naturally take over the position of commander of the capital.

But this holy decree is a word. Most of his wishful thinking fell through.

I also know that this will was personally asked by the Marquis of Wei Ning to the emperor. What grace. It's all liar. The real purpose was to punish him for his disobedience

Ji Ze returned to the house with a calm face all the way.

As soon as he returned home, someone came to report: "Hou Ye has ordered, as long as the prince returns to the house, he will immediately go to the study to see Hou Ye." ”

Ji Ze responded lightly

After Xiao Zou's death, Tinglan Courtyard was vacant. Wei Ninghou never stepped into Tinglan Courtyard for half a step, and lived in the study alone.

Dozens of personal soldiers brought back from the border pass were divided into two shifts and took turns guarding outside the study. Without Wei Ninghou's order, no one was allowed to trespass into the study.

Ji Ze stood outside the study and knocked on the door.

It was Hanyu who came to open the door.

At the moment when I saw Hanyu's pretty face. Ji Ze's eyes flashed with a terrifying coldness, and his right hand was quietly clenched. It was this cheap maid who secretly ran to the border to deliver the letter, which made Wei Ninghou return to Beijing angrily, and also made Xiao Zou die twice

If you want to deal with Wei Ninghou, you need to think long-term. It doesn't take much effort to deal with a mere maid.

The killing intent in Ji Ze's eyes was very obvious. Almost unabashedly.

Hanyu had already put life and death aside, and when she saw Ji Ze like this, she didn't feel afraid, and her expression was quite calm: "Lord Shizi, please come in, Master Hou has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Ji Ze stared at Hanyu fiercely before striding into the study.

Hanyu retreated to the outside of the study, closed the door, walked a few meters away, and stood guard outside the door.

Wei Ninghou not only didn't order anyone to kill her. Instead, he told her to be close to her. There are pro-soldiers inside and outside the study, and she is the only one who is such a maid. Naturally, it is particularly eye-catching.

The maids and ladies in the house, after secretly guessing the accidental death of Xiao Zou, couldn't help but whisper a few words about Hanyu. Envy the hot eyes, it is inevitable to say some sour words, such as "Mrs. is cheap when she dies, Hanyu, maybe she can fly on the branches" and the like.

After experiencing so many things, Hanyu has long been reborn, and she is no longer as competitive and competitive as before. I didn't take these things to heart at all

In the study, father and son stood opposite each other.

It was the first time since that night that father and son had been alone.

Wei Ninghou looked at Ji Ze deeply, as if he wanted to see something from his expression.

But he was destined to be disappointed, and the moment Ji Ze stepped into the study, he pressed all his hatred and resentment into his heart. At this time, he was respectful: "I don't know what the father has to tell him when he summons his son?" ”

Wei Ninghou's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "You have received the emperor's holy decree today!" ”

Ji Zeying said: "Yes, the emperor's grace is vast, and he specially allowed his son to take a long vacation to accompany his father in the mansion." ”

"This is the decree I have personally requested." Wei Ninghou looked at his son with a smile: "I didn't tell you before, and I didn't discuss it with you, do you have any resentment in your heart?" ”

Ji Ze pulled the corners of his lips and replied with a smile: "My father has been away from the capital for so many years, and my son has always been worried about it. This time I finally had the opportunity to be filial in front of my father, and it was too late to be happy, how could I be resentful. The father thinks so, but he really wrongs his son. ”

The smile is sincere, the tone is sincere, and no one can find fault with it.

Wei Ninghou smiled faintly: "It's good if you don't blame me." After a pause, he said: "The Gu family has not come out for so many years, you remarried Xiao Gu, Xiao Gu is blessed to have children, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for you." I've been busy with the funeral the other day, and you haven't had time to take a look at the child! ”

"Back to my father, my son is preparing to visit Xiao Gu's today." Ji Ze immediately replied: "Xiao Gu's confinement alone in the grange is a little lonely and cold. The son wants to stay in the Grange for a few days and spend time with his wife and children. ”

In the name of visiting Gu Caiping, I will go out of the house first. The forces he secretly controlled, Wei Ninghou could not find out in the short term.

This is Ji Ze's real hole card.

Wei Ninghou's tone was still indifferent: "You don't need to leave the house." I ordered someone to pick them up at the Grange in the morning. In the evening, Xiao Gu and the child will be taken home. ”

Ji Ze's expression stiffened slightly.

Wei Ninghou actually sent someone to pick up Gu Caiping's mother and son back to the house, so that he would have no reason to leave the house and be placed under house arrest in disguise.

Although he can secretly order someone to go out of the house to deliver a letter, not to mention the delay in time back and forth, it is easy to be detected by Wei Ninghou.

At this time, Ji Ze was not allowed to think too much, under the sharp and compelling gaze of Weining Hou, Ji Ze could only bow his head and say yes: "Everything depends on my father." However, Xiao Gu's gave birth to a child after only seven months of marriage, and the reputation is always not good."

"Let's just say it's premature." Wei Ninghou said casually, and blocked all Ji Ze's words.

Ji Ze was extremely aggrieved in his heart, but it was inconvenient to refute.

Wei Ninghou was silent for a moment, and suddenly said again: "Now that there is no one around me to serve, I plan to take a second room." (To be continued......)
