Nalan Xue died, but the biggest problem facing the Guo family has not been solved, Guo Yan's charges have not been cleared, and Zhao Xianghe is even more determined to see Guo Yan kill his father Zhao Zong with his own eyes, and there are several generals who have always been very close to the Zhao family to testify, plus Guo Yan suddenly disappeared on the way to Beijing, and the accompanying officials and yacha were all killed, so everyone thought that he tried to escape punishment after killing Zhao Zong. According to the usual practice, the emperor issued a proclamation to arrest the Qin prisoner Guo Yan. What makes the Guo family's situation even more difficult is that now that the Chen family has left suddenly, the Guo family has become lonely in the court, and other major families have always felt that it is not good for them that the Guo family is too powerful, and it is good not to fall into the ground. At this point, if the Guo family wants to open up the situation, it can be described as a thousand years of difficulty.

In the study, the smoke in the incense burner rose, the faint sandalwood lingered, and Qi Guogong's face was solemn and he didn't say a word.

Guo Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Father, the fifth brother has been gone for a whole month, but he hasn't sent a word back until now, will it be ......?"

Guo Cheng's worries are not unreasonable, after all, Director Guo is no longer the noble son with outstanding martial arts in the past, no matter how many guards are placed around him, he still can't rest assured after all. If he succeeds in attracting the attention of the enemy, he may be able to cover up Yuan Yeol's secret investigation, but this does not guarantee Guo Dao's personal safety.

Qi Guogong is naturally very concerned about the safety of this son, since the night Director Guo left Dadu, Qi Guogong has not been able to sleep well, but in front of Mrs. Guo, he still has to show a confident appearance. After all, he is also old, and he is no longer as bold and decisive as a young man. What he hopes for is more the peace of the whole family and the prosperity of his children, now one son has been branded as a rebellious reputation, and the other son has traveled thousands of miles to the border to find evidence, if this matter is really done by Empress Pei, how can she leave evidence for Guo Dao to investigate? In addition, the Zhao family is not a good stubble, their power in the army is deep-rooted, and if Director Guo is not careful, he may be doomed!

Qi Guogong thought of this, his face became even heavier, he stood up a little upset, put his hands behind his back, paced a few steps in the study, then turned his head, looked at Li Weiyang and said, "Jia'er, what do you think?" ”

Li Weiyang raised his eyes, his eyes were deep: "Father doesn't have to worry too much, I guess there will be news from the fifth brother in the next two days." ”

Qi Guogong raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised: "Why?" Where did you get the news? Are you sure? ”

Li Weiyang nodded and said with great certainty: "Please believe me, father." ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a "bang", but it was Guo Yan's fist that slammed heavily on the table, as hard as mahogany, and he was actually smashed into a groove by him, not to mention the blood on the back of his hand, the teacup that was originally placed on the table fell to the ground all of a sudden, only to see the tea lid rolling all the way to the soles of Li Weiyang's feet. She saw the other party's anger in her eyes, but she just smiled and said, "Second brother doesn't have to be too nervous. ”

Guo Yan gritted his teeth: "I'm not nervous, I'm heartache!" The fifth brother has paid too much for me, and I owe him too much, how can I pay it back? If anything happens to him on this trip, how can I explain it to my mother......

Halfway through his words, Li Weiyang raised his hand to stop, and said with rare comfort: "Second brother, I know that you blame yourself very much because of Miss Nalan's matter, but this matter actually has nothing to do with you, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Guo Yan shook his head, his eyes revealing deep pain: "How can it have nothing to do with me?" If it weren't for me, why would she have been coerced by Empress Pei? Why wander around and lose your life for me in the end! ”

Li Weiyang just had an indifferent face and a light tone: "Everyone has to pay for their own choices, from the day Miss Nalan promised Empress Pei, she has already guessed this final ending, and she has already prepared for it, why should others feel sorry for her?" ”

Guo Yan looked at Li Weiyang, almost didn't know what to say, Li Weiyang had many different views from them, and even for Nalan Xue, she always had an understanding and tolerant attitude, he vaguely felt that Li Weiyang and Nalan Xue's personalities were similar, and they both had a stubborn temper.

There was a sudden knock on the door outside the door, Guo Dun frowned, took the initiative to stand up and go to open the door, and opened it to see, but it was Li Weiyang's personal maid Zhao Yue.

Li Weiyang saw that it was her, and a trace of understanding flashed across his face, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yue didn't care about saluting everyone, so she handed a letter to Li Weiyang and said, "Miss, the news you are waiting for has arrived." ”

Li Weiyang's heart jumped, and he quickly opened the envelope in his hand.

Guo Dun next to him couldn't restrain his ecstasy, and immediately said, "Is it a letter from the fifth brother?" ”

Li Weiyang didn't answer him, she just read the letter at a glance, but her face changed. Guo Yan stood up suddenly, and his voice trembled slightly: "Jia'er, is something happened to the fifth brother?" ”

Li Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief lightly and said calmly: "No, Fifth Brother, he is safe, and this letter was written back by him." She was not lying.

Guo Dun hurriedly leaned up to see the letter in Li Weiyang's hand, but she showed the words on the envelope to Guo Dun, and then shook the letter paper, quickly folded it, and stuffed it into her sleeve. Guo Dun saw the handwriting on the envelope, it was indeed Guo Dao, so he relaxed a little, but turned his head and saw Li Weiyang said with a smile: "The fifth brother is suing us, and he has found evidence that can prove that the second brother is innocent." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces showed a huge look of surprise, especially Qi Guogong, who had always been calm, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Really? What did the guide say? ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said solemnly: "The fifth brother said in the letter that after he arrived over there, he finally found a witness and found an account book, proving that Zhao Zong wanted to get rid of the second brother because he was greedy for 500,000 taels of military resources!" ”

Guo Yan stood up from the chair suddenly, he looked at Li Weiyang in shock and said, "What did you say?" 500,000 taels? How did I not know about this! ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "Yes, Zhao Zong thought that the second brother had discovered a qiē, so he wanted to get rid of you, but he didn't know that you didn't know anything at all." ”

A trace of doubt quickly flashed in Guo Yan's heart, and the original scene instantly floated in his mind, one night because he had an important military report to report to Zhao Zong, he hurriedly walked into the other party's camp without waiting for the communication, at that time Zhao Zong was talking to Zhao Xianghe secretly, and when he saw him come in, his face suddenly changed greatly. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it does have something to do with it. Guo Yan suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the reason why he wants to put me to death!" But if that's the case, how did Zhao Zong die? ”

Li Weiyang smiled kindly, and a trace of indifference drifted in his voice: "Second brother, Zhao Zong's death is just a scapegoat, and the 500,000 taels are the military funds allocated by His Majesty to the army, where did Zhao Zong come from to dare to be greedy?" Of course, someone behind this was pointing him out, but on the contrary, that person didn't want to reveal the matter, so he got rid of Zhao Zong and made the first move. As soon as Zhao Zong died, there was no proof of this matter, and the only person who could leak the matter was you, the second brother. ”

The more everyone in the study listened, the more ugly it became, Qi Guogong had discovered Li Weiyang's unspoken meaning, who could make Zhao Zong greedy for silver, except for Empress Pei who was the prince, Qi Guogong had his own opinion, and muttered: "No, maybe this scene was a game against the Guo family from the beginning!" ”

A trace of coldness flashed in Li Weiyang's eyes, and he nodded: "Indeed, these 500,000 taels must not be taken into account by Empress Pei, she asked Zhao Zong to do this, the real purpose is to lay out, even if the second brother does not find out about this, they will find other ways to get rid of the Guo family!" "Zhao Zong was just used by Empress Pei, and Empress Pei's purpose was not to pay for military salaries, but to frame the Guo family.

Qi Guogong sat down slowly, didn't speak for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said word for word: "This Queen Pei is really a ruthless woman." "In the past, Pei Hou didn't make a move on the Guo family, but the timing was wrong, but now when she makes a move, she puts the Guo family to death every step of the way, and the means are really vicious.

If Empress Pei hadn't been so scheming, she wouldn't have sat on the throne of the queen for so many years, Li Weiyang said lightly: "This is natural, Empress Pei knows when to do it and how to do it, we really can't prevent it." ”

There was a hint of uneasiness on everyone's faces, and Guo Dun hurriedly asked, "When will the fifth brother come back with evidence?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled and replied seriously: "The fifth brother said in the letter that he will protect the witness and the account book all the way to Beijing, and it will take about five days to reach Dadu. ”

Qi Guogong pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in five days, are you sure that Director Guo will be able to come back in time at that time?" ”

Li Weiyang naturally understood what Qi Guogong meant, and just smiled on his face: "His Majesty will definitely hold a big banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to the usual practice, all officials above the third grade can bring their family members to participate, if the fifth brother can bring the evidence back in time, we should announce it to the public in the court, so that the conspiracy of the Zhao family can not be hidden, and you can also take out the radish and bring out the mud, and bite Pei Hou!" In the last sentence, Li Weiyang said it every word.

Guo Cheng put down the heart that he had been carrying for a long time, and couldn't help stroking his palms and laughing: "Okay! Good! That's great! ”

Guo Yan looked calm, but his heart was also very excited, because he knew that his grievances could be washed away immediately.

When the sons of the Guo family left one after another, Li Weiyang fell to the end. Seeing the others walk away, she turned her head to Qi Guogong and said, "Father, Jia'er has another thing to tell you." ”

At this time, Guo Cheng, Guo Yan, and Guo Dun had already gone far, if they used to notice that Li Weiyang was wrong, but now because they were too happy, they didn't even see her expression.

Qi Guogong watched Li Weiyang go and return, and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat: "Jia'er, could it be that you are ......?" ”

Li Weiyang didn't say anything, but quickly unfolded the letter just now from his sleeve and handed it to Qi Guogong: "Father, please take a closer look at this letter!" ”

Qi Guogong was stunned for a moment, then took the letter and unfolded it, and read it carefully, from top to bottom, at a glance and ten lines. His face changed dramatically all of a sudden, and he raised his head suddenly: "Jia'er, Dao'er said it clearly...... But you just just-"

Li Weiyang said calmly: "Just now I suddenly thought of this method, I don't know what my father thinks?" ”

Qi Guogong showed a puzzled look on his face, but he heard her say word by word: "Since the fifth brother can bring back the evidence, and the second brother can clear his grievances, we might as well exaggerate the fact that the fifth brother found the evidence, so that the other party will be vigilant and dare not act nonsense, what does my father think?" ”

Qi Guogong saw his daughter's clear eyes burning, and he had a deep meaning, after all, he had also been an official for many years, and he was scheming, and he suddenly understood, and a smile appeared on his face and said: "Okay!" Just what you say! Don't worry, I'll arrange it in advance! ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly, but his eyes were extremely cold: "I hope this time I can succeed!" ”

Mid-Autumn Festival, a big feast in the palace.

After Mrs. Guo dressed up, she came to Li Weiyang's courtyard, and said with a hint of worry in her expression: "Jia'er, do you say that your fifth brother can rush back today?" ”

Li Weiyang just smiled at the person in the mirror, her smile was very calm, she said: "Mother don't worry, since the fifth brother said that he can arrive today, he will definitely come back in time, as long as he can enter the palace at the time of the war, there is no problem, not to mention ......" Before she finished speaking, she had already taken the initiative to stand up, walked to Mrs. Guo's side, and continued: "What's more, our family is all auspicious, and the fifth brother can turn evil into good fortune when something happened at that time, and the second brother will definitely be fine this time, and mother doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Mrs. Guo sighed, straightened the jade glazed hairpin on her sideburns for Li Weiyang, and said softly: "I hope so!" ”

Li Weiyang's smile was even gentler, but his eyebrows were stretched, and he didn't explain much.

In addition to Guo Yan can not participate in the banquet, the rest of the people have to go to the palace to attend the banquet, the carriage drove all the way to the palace, sixteen guards followed the carriage through the square, and then turned left to drive onto the Binhu Bridge, the north of the bridge is the outer gate of the palace city, according to the regulations, the car of the officials above the third grade can drive into the outer door, and only then do you need to give up the carriage before the Xiushui Gate, enter the inner palace, and meet the emperor. Soon the car entered the outer gate, and it took a long time to reach Xiushuimen, but it was suddenly stopped halfway.

Zhao Yue lifted the curtain of the car, and heard a person in front of him with an angry face, the person in front of him is the current General Jin Wu, who was assigned to guard the outer gate in this banquet, and he also has a special identity, that is, Empress Pei's cousin, his name is Pei Zhong. Although he is not a descendant of the Pei family, he is also a serious child of the Pei family, and he has always been treated very well, so he is very proud.

Pei Zhong patrolled in front of the outer gate early in the morning, and when he saw the Guo family's carriage driving into the outer gate, the color of the car was bright and luxurious, and the guards on both sides were also majestic and neat, the carriage drove past him without slowing down, and drove straight towards Xiushuimen, Pei Bi sneered, stepped forward to stop it, and said angrily: "Who is so rude?" It was bold to drive the carriage so fast! Before he finished his words, the handsome left face of the splitting head had already been whipped, and he covered his face and said angrily: "Who is so bold that he dares to beat me?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an extremely handsome man on the snow-white horse in front of him, and his black cloak embroidered with gold silk shone brightly in the night. The man looked like he was smiling, squinting at him, and his slender hand gently swept the long whip, and the tail of the whip was decorated with gems, looking extremely arrogant and domineering. Just about to be furious, after seeing the other party's face clearly, Pei Zhong was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I will not see His Royal Highness King Xu!" ”

Xu Wang Yuanlie snorted coldly and said: "When did the palace change the rules, all officials and family members above the third grade can drive the carriage all the way to Xiushui Gate, Miss Guo is in a hurry to enter the palace to attend the banquet, what's wrong with driving the carriage faster?" Are you going to make everyone else wait for her? ”

Pei Zhong opened his mouth, then closed it again. There was a nameless fire in his heart, and he said in his heart that he was Empress Pei's nephew after all, although he was only a cousin, but now it was the world of the Pei family, this Xu Wang Yuanlie was so noisy, he didn't shy away from it at all, and even injured himself, it was really too much! What's more, this time he made up his mind to embarrass the Guo family, how could he retreat like this-but before he could refute, King Xu "snapped" and gave him a flower on the right side of his face: "Little Sixth Rank Official, you dare to stand in front of the car, if you don't get out of the way, be careful that I cut off your head with a sword!" ”

Xu Wang Yuanlie's words were very arrogant and domineering, but he didn't know why he was born like he could say this, especially the handsome face that compared the gorgeous candle sea in the palace, attracting the side eyes of many carriages next to him. Pei Zhong's heart jumped, he didn't dare to delay any longer, he didn't even have time to wipe the blood on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Miss Guo, please!" His Royal Highness King Xu, please! As he spoke, he stepped aside with the others.

Yuan Lie smiled coldly and said to the Guo family's coachman: "Don't go quickly!" ”

Li Weiyang couldn't help but smile slightly in the middle of the car, Yuan Lie was even more arrogant than before, he did this clearly to show Queen Pei's face, but he was the respect of the prince, and a little watchdog dared to stop him, he really wanted to slap his face, and he had to beat him hard!

In order to participate in the night banquet, Li Weiyang wore a pale pink shirt, covered with a green smoke Luo light gauze half-sleeve, tied a graceful light Biluo skirt, and on her head was a Feiyun bun that Mrs. Guo personally pulled for her, which looked elegant and chic, and did not wear any particularly valuable jewelry, but a verdant and bright emerald hairpin, which made the corners of her eyes and eyebrows add a touch of elegance, coupled with that faint look, when she slowly passed by the blue water, it attracted the attention of countless people.

Li Weiyang was unconscious of the eyes next to him, just quietly accompanied Mrs. Guo's side, while the man of the Guo family went to the men's seat, along the way, Li Weiyang only saw the carved fence and jade masonry in the garden, and there were countless famous daughters in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, and laughter and laughter continued to come across the water. Yu Guang suddenly touched a light purple shadow, and his eyes turned slightly, just in time to meet the eyes full of resentment. In the blink of an eye, Pei Baoer, who was dressed in purple, had changed into another look, smiling, eyebrows burning, turning her head to talk to Miss Wang next to her, the whole person was like a begonia under the bright moonlit night.

At this time, the emperor and all the concubines were already seated, and they could see Concubine Guo Hui dressed in gorgeous clothes and smiling from a distance. Concubine Guo Hui nodded lightly at Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang smiled back, but heard the emperor raise his glass and say: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone is happy to drink, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home!" What he said was like a toast, and the people next to him immediately got up and responded, wishing His Majesty a long and healthy life, and wishing the prosperity and peace of Yuexi!" ”

The emperor's eyes wandered, but he suddenly turned around and asked, "Where is Concubine Li?" ”

Pei was just faint on the back: "She said that there is a surprise for Her Majesty today, so please watch it carefully." ”

Li Weiyang glanced at all the concubines, Queen Pei was stunning and graceful, Concubine Guo Hui was dignified and magnificent, Concubine Zhou Shu was charming and charming, and Concubine Chen Guifei was noble and unparalleled, but she didn't see the most favored Concubine Ge Li in the legend. Li Weiyang was a little curious about Concubine Gree, she always wanted to know what was so special about Concubine Gree that the emperor could impress her. You must know that for so many years, the emperor has gradually stopped going to the harem, but this Concubine Ge Li can still enter and leave His Majesty's study so casually...... This woman is really not to be underestimated.

Li Weiyang was thinking about it, but she saw a dazzling look not far away, she raised her head and took a look, just collided with Pei Bi's eyes, Pei Bi raised her glass and looked at each other from a distance.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Li Weiyang's heart, but he smiled on his face and didn't care.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard the sound of a jade flute, from far and near, and from near and far, as if in the vast sky, people's reverie kept wandering and repeating, and then only heard the sound of pipa, Qiang drum, silk and bamboo in turn, the sound of blowing sounds very moving, and deduces a kind of ethereal artistic conception. In addition, because of the ingenious arrangement, the pipa, guqin, and flute sound complement each other, which is very wonderful, as if it is the sound of heaven coming from the night sky, thick and delicate, lingering around people's ears for a long time, and there is a fluttering charm of immortals.

There was a moment of silence on the field, and I saw girls in colorful clothes coming out one after another, and there were as many as ninety-four people at a closer look, among them, the woman in the middle was wearing a red gauze dress, swaying her long sleeves, and walked out surrounded by a cluster. There are a total of ninety-five dancers in white and red on the scene, and the meaning of the ninety-five is gathered, and the red gauze woman is surrounded by all the dancers, advancing and retreating, twisting and circling, and encircling charming. Obviously, there were many dancers, and they were all dressed in very bright clothes, but the other ninety-four people could not match the dancing posture of the woman in the center. Looking from afar, the red gauze woman's figure is light and spinning, trance red clouds fluttering, gathering to move forward, the slender hand, as delicate and soft as willow silk, the red dress fluttering up, like a charming flame, floating in the night sky.

Li Weiyang took a look, only to feel that the woman's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, there was an indescribable delicate state, the dancing sleeves were flying, and it was even more incomprehensible to the ten thousand styles, coupled with the gorgeous and complicated dance music, which was even more moving. The civil and military officials and female dependents present were stunned, and they intuitively felt that this woman's dancing posture was charming, but her demeanor was extremely noble, and it was clearly the fairy of Guanghan Palace!

Li Weiyang showed a thoughtful smile on his face, only to hear Mrs. Guo next to him say, "This is Concubine Ge Li." ”

Li Weiyang affirmed the guess in his heart, and looked more carefully at Concubine Ge Li, in the misty fairyland like a veil and mist, the sound of the jade flute was melodious and tactful, making people almost suspect that this was Yaotai or a group of jade mountains, that red cloud, wandering in the fairyland Yaochi, looked so dazzling, so delicate, that people had no way to divert their eyes, it turned out that this was Concubine Ge Li, the concubine who was favored by the emperor so much!

In the midst of the singing and dancing, no one noticed that Xu Wang Yuanlie seemed to be drunk and quietly left the table.

When Concubine Ge stopped dancing, she walked up to the emperor and bowed, and the emperor showed a smile on his face for the first time and said, "Concubine Ai's dance is really outstanding!" ”

A smile appeared on Concubine Ge Li's face: "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the concubine is ashamed, but Bo Jun smiled!" As the emperor's favorite concubine, she was able to put down her body and dance at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

The emperor laughed, his eyebrows stretched rarely, and said loudly: "Someone! Give the love of the princess pearl hundred! ”

When she said this, Concubine Grace suddenly smiled, and she thanked her and sat back in her seat. Concubine Zhou Shufei next to her looked at her with a pair of dark eyes: "No wonder my sister has avoided it for so long, it turns out that she is secretly choreographing songs and dances alone, and she wants to shine today!" ”

What she said was kind, and it also made people feel that they were thorns in their backs, and Grace smiled lightly.

Concubine Zhou Shu saw that she didn't answer, but she didn't restrain herself, but continued: "My sister is willing to work hard, no wonder she invites the Holy Grace alone!" There was infinite irony in these words, and Concubine Gree's eyebrows finally moved, but she smiled slightly: "The concubine is stupid, and the lady concubine praises it falsely!" ”

Concubine Shu curled her lips, covered the contempt in her eyes, and said lightly: "It's just that such a small trick dares to come up with it and show ugliness in front of the public, which is really ridiculous and generous!" ”

Concubine Ge Lifei didn't notice a slight change of color, Concubine Zhou Shufei was proud in her heart, carefully put a smile between her reserved lips, and said lightly: "After all, my sister is in the position of a concubine, and the next time such a servant does something, don't do it again." ”

Concubine Ge Li struggled, and the corners of her lips slowly pulled out a trace of arc and said: "The way of singing and dancing is a good way for concubines to relieve loneliness, sister might as well give it a try, after all, you have a lot more leisure days than concubines......" Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped, and there was something in her smile, "Concubine Hui, did you say it?" ”

Concubine Guo Hui vaguely noticed that the other party's words were a little unusual, obviously sarcastic that Concubine Zhou Shu was not favored, but she deliberately pulled herself along. Seeing that Concubine Zhou's face changed, Concubine Guo Hui's eyes turned around, and she was still smiling when she saw Concubine Ge Li, and said lightly: "Sister Concubine Li's dance is very good, and Her Majesty likes it very much, if you have the opportunity in the future, you may wish to pass on this unique body to the people in the palace, so that they can all share some of Your Majesty's favor." ”

Concubine Gree finally smiled and said word by word: "This is not something that everyone can learn. ”

Concubine Guo Hui smiled: "Yes, my sister is as beautiful as a fairy, and there is no second such beauty in the world, and others naturally can't learn it." ”

When Concubine Zhou heard this, she sneered again, and said with a faint expression: "So what! It's just that he looks a little similar. ”

A trace of imperceptible annoyance flashed in Concubine Gree's eyes, but she suppressed her anger and said, "Concubine Shu, please be cautious in your words and deeds!" ”

Concubine Zhou Shufei lowered her voice and said, "Isn't it?" Although I didn't have the opportunity to see the princess Qixia back then, I heard that she danced with a vulgar posture and outstanding appearance, and was a peerless beauty. At the beginning, everyone in the world said that Princess Qixia's car passed by the street by chance, and she unintentionally lifted the curtain and smiled at the outsiders, but she could fascinate people to death. ”

Grace's face turned pale, and her heart was full of distractions, panicked, sharp, and painful, and all of them surged up in a moment. He hated Concubine Zhou Shu in his heart, but he suddenly turned his head and glanced in the direction of the emperor, but the emperor just lowered his head and drank, not knowing what he was thinking, his eyes did not fall on his body, and he clearly did not notice this. In an instant, she already understood that the emperor was grinding his ears and temples, and he was very fond of him, but he was just a shadow of that person! Haven't you understood it all over the years?

Her heart ached faintly, suppressing all the resentment and uneasiness in her heart, and only smiled faintly: "The past, Your Majesty has already said, if anyone dares to talk about it in private, don't be killed!" Could it be that Sister Shufei wants to taste this? ”

Concubine Zhou Shufei sneered and turned her face away: "As long as my sister can see it, what can I say more?" It's just an event! After saying this, Zhou Shufei's expression was as calm as water in an instant, and the sharpness between the words was just hidden in a leisurely self-deprecation.

Concubine Guo Hui couldn't help but sigh when she saw the two of them fighting each other, the days in this palace passed day by day in such irony, in fact, no one could help anyone, so why bother? It's just a battle of words, just let others laugh! But if you don't fight or fight, living is also in vain, and it's even more lonely. At this time, she raised her eyes and glanced at Empress Pei, who was sitting not far away, she was still smiling as before, without the slightest change, and she never looked at the dispute between the concubines at all.

Concubine Guo Hui took a deep breath, her heart was desolate but she had another thought, the emperor's house was like this! There have been countless beauties in the harem over the years, but there are only a few people who can really go through the precipitation of the years and stay by His Majesty's side to become concubines. Zhou Shufei counts one, Ge Lifei counts one, Chen Guifei counts another, and the rest is herself. And among all of them, only Queen Pei is the only one who has always stood tall, Queen Pei entered the palace as a teenager, and there must have been some inhumane bitterness in the past few decades, but now she has the power of life and death, and the affairs of her family and country. No matter when she looked over, the queen's gaze was always indifferent and reserved, as if with a smile, but no one dared to be presumptuous in front of her.

At this time, Chen Guifei's eyes floated over, Guo Huifei lowered her head, avoiding Chen Guifei's probing eyes, the relationship between Guo and Chen has long been a well-known thing, although everyone doesn't know that Guo Yan is hiding in Guo's mansion, but everyone knows that the daughter of the Chen family has left the Guo family and will never go back. People who don't know the truth think that after Guo Yan's incident, the daughter of the Chen family saw the wind and steered, changed direction, and immediately returned to her parents' house, intending to completely sever relations with the Guo family. Regarding this matter, no one in the Chen family stood up to explain, but allowed this rumor to spread more and more, so that some people looked at Chen Guifei's expression with a little strangeness.

Concubine Guo Hui knew a thing in her heart, and she and Concubine Chen Guifei were just hard to speak. Any smart person will not be obsessed with overnight gains and losses, and what will happen to the Guo and Chen families in the future depends on time.

At this time, the gentle breeze blew the fragrance of flowers, Li Weiyang lowered his head and held the wine glass, his calm face was not wavering, and the emerald hairpin on his hair hung with a long crystal tassel, gently shaking, lining the plain white face more and more gentle and beautiful. No matter who talks to Li Weiyang, she can respond with a proper salute, always with a warm smile, that is, neither childish nor old-fashioned, which makes people feel that they like it indescribably. And Mrs. Guo is also the same as always, there is no change, everyone sees that they have different plans for Guo Yan.

However, Mrs. Guo's heart was anxious, especially in the middle of the banquet, she hadn't seen Director Guo yet, so she couldn't help but secretly anxiously said: "Jia'er, can your fifth brother really come in time?" This feast will be over in another hour! ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said: "The fifth brother has always done things properly, I think he has arrived at the palace gate at this moment!" ”

Pei Bi on the opposite side saw the whispers of Li Weiyang's mother and daughter, and a sneer crossed his lips: Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang, do you really think that everything is in your plan? I'm afraid that Director Guo, who you are waiting for, will no longer be able to send that evidence to His Majesty!

At the gate outside the palace at this time, Guo Dao was in a hurry, and galloped in from outside the palace gate. Don't get off the horse yet! ”

Guo Dao raised the token in his hand from afar and said: "Your Majesty's gold medal is here, it can be unimpeded in the palace, you don't have to get off the horse!" As he spoke, he rode his horse and galloped toward the palace. This gold medal was given to King Xu Yuanlie by His Majesty, there is only one in the world, of course Pei Zhong knows it, but he glanced at the deputy general next to him at this moment, and hundreds of soldiers suddenly poured out on the side, surrounding Guo Dao's horses.

Pei Zhong said sharply: "Bold maniac, dare to spread wild in front of the palace gate, and don't take him down!" ”

Director Guo said coldly: "I have the gold medal in my hand, and I have an urgent matter to meet His Majesty, how dare you do it to me!" ”

Pei Zhong's eyes were cold, and he said to the person who had been waiting in the dark on the side for a long time: "General Zhao, this person said that he has an urgent matter to see His Majesty, what do you think?" I saw a young and burly man walking out of the crowd, wearing a pair of soft armor, high cheekbones, and a pair of eyes glowing blue-gray, he sneered: "Director Guo, don't waste your efforts, you can't send this evidence to Your Majesty!" ”

Recognizing this person at a glance as Zhao Zong's son Zhao Xianghe, Director Guo raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "What are you going to do here?" Do you want to kill people? This is the gate of the palace, you are so bold! ”

Zhao Xianghe laughed and said, "Don't think that if you are from Guo Mansion, we won't dare to do anything to you!" You must know that now that the palace is drinking and feasting, and if you want to break into the palace alone, you will naturally be stopped by the sergeant, plus you refuse to accept the interrogation, and you are mistakenly killed in the middle of the dispute, isn't it a very normal thing? If you want to blame it, you are so reckless that you leak your whereabouts! As he spoke, he snapped, "Why don't you kill him off my horse for me!" Would such a thief still let him break in and destroy His Majesty's feast? ”

Hundreds of soldiers immediately rushed over with their blades in their hands, only to hear a cold light shining in the night sky, bringing a solemn aura, Director Guo clenched the gold medal in his hand, and a trace of imperceptible sharpness flashed in his eyes. said that it was too late, and everyone suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping outside the palace, Pei Zhong was taken aback, and before he could react, he saw that hundreds of black-armored cavalry had surrounded the palace gate. Pei Zhong said angrily: "Who gathers soldiers here? ”

I saw a noble man in a gorgeous costume with an arrogant expression, sitting on a horse, riding a horse to appear in front of the forbidden army from behind, and the black-armored cavalry in front of him, and this face Pei Zhong would not forget it no matter what, he said coldly: "His Royal Highness King Xu, you should have attended the banquet inside, what are you doing?" ”

Yuan Lie's gaze swept at them, his face was very calm, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone secretly reported to me, saying that Pei Zhong and Zhao Xianghe have bad intentions and intend to rebel, and the rest of them are all His Majesty's forbidden army, how can they help the abuse, if they have no objection, they need to retreat to the side, if they refuse to retreat, shoot them all!" ”

In just a moment, the military order had already been handed down, and only a thunderous shout was heard, and the adjutant general immediately repeated the order of King Xu three times in a loud voice, and the hundreds of forbidden soldiers present could hear it clearly, and everyone couldn't help but change color. As soon as King Xu said this, some people in the crowd were already panicked, and the situation was about to be difficult to control. Pei Zhong smiled coldly and said in a long voice: "King Xu, you are spreading rumors and making trouble here, and gathering soldiers to make trouble, obviously you want to rebel!" He even dared to bewitch the public! Come on, don't take them down quickly! ”

Yuan Lie sneered, waved his hand lightly, and the black-armored cavalry behind him released several long arrows, and the shadow of the arrows seemed to be streamers, shooting into the crowd, nailing all the more than ten sergeants to the ground, and the whole audience was shocked.

Director Guo smiled slightly, handed over the gold medal, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's gold medal is here, King Xu was ordered by His Majesty to arrest Zhao Xianghe, but Pei Zhong is plotting against him, intending to shelter the thief, if you are regarded as a rebel, His Royal Highness has already ordered the encirclement and suppression, and now King Xu thinks that you are all deceived by others, as long as you obey the military order and retreat, the prince will never be held accountable!" ”

His Majesty's gold medal is here, which means that His Majesty is here, everyone must follow orders, and the forbidden army can't help but retreat one after another when they see this, and Pei Zhong can't help but panic. Yuan Lie gave a look, and Zhao Nan behind him led several cavalry to fly away from behind Yuan Lie, and in the style of an eagle pounceing on a chicken, he stepped forward and knocked Pei Zhong's long sword to the ground, and then before he and Zhao Xianghe struggled, they had twisted their arms behind them and knelt on the ground.

Pei Zhong and Zhao Xianghe saw the sudden catastrophe coming, their faces changed greatly, Zhao Xianghe was the most cowardly, he knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I have always been loyal to the country, how can I say that I am rebelling, I just came to attend the banquet, and I heard that someone here broke into the palace, so I rushed here, and I just want to escort it, the so-called rebellion is really a great wrong, please Your Highness to investigate!" ”

Yuan Lie's eyes were extremely indifferent, and there was no joy or anger on his face, and he waved his hand impatiently, and someone immediately tied up Pei Zhong and Zhao Xianghe. Pei Zhong knew that the situation was not good, and glanced to the side, and his lieutenant immediately retreated quietly, and was just about to flee to report the news, only to see the sharp sword light flickering under the moon, and the deputy general's head suddenly fell to the ground, and the wailing stopped at the same time! Blood splattered all over the warriors' robes!

Yuan Lie said coldly: "Zhao Nan, you quickly take three hundred horsemen to surround the Zhao Mansion, arrest the Zhao family, interrogate them on the spot, find out all their henchmen, if they disobey, they will be killed!" Saying that, he turned his horse's head and went in the direction of Xiushui Gate, the palace gate was paved with green bricks, his horse galloped past, the horse's paw knocked on it, making a loud sound, and more than fifty cavalry behind him also followed him at the same time, and the palace that was relatively quiet suddenly resounded with a huge sound.

The horse was like a wild wind, and it swept through the pavilion hall in an instant, all the way like the wind.

At this moment, someone had already informed the emperor that he knew, but when he knew, he only smiled faintly and said, "Let him go!" Then he continued to drink and feast as usual, as if he had not heard of it.

Yuan Lie did not go in the direction of the garden, but directly led the fifty horsemen straight to the place where he was on duty tonight. According to the custom of the Yuexi Imperial Clan, an official would be on duty in the palace every night, and this official would be responsible for conveying His Majesty's will. Because Yuan Lie held the gold medal in his hand, the road was unimpeded. The porter first saw that the people who came were all unarmoured blades, first stunned, and then saw that the leader was Xu Wang Yuanlie, and hurriedly knelt down to worship.

And Yuan Lie did not squint, hurriedly walked towards the main hall, just halfway there, he saw that Zhao Tuo was reviewing the letter, Zhao Tuo heard the footsteps, raised his head suddenly, and before he could react, he saw dozens of wolf-like cavalry around King Xu pounced. Yuan Lie ordered the soldiers to surround him, and then smiled and said, "Lord Zhao, Your Majesty is invited!" ”

Zhao Tuo said sharply: "King Xu, you actually set people up to commit murder in the palace!" ”

Yuan Lie's eyes were bright, and he just sneered: "Whether it is a murder or a traitor, Lord Zhao will know later!" ”

Zhao Tuo was Zhao Zong's younger brother, who was a member of the military department at the time, and he shook off the soldier's hand to catch him, and said in a deep voice: "Get out, I will go myself!" The words revealed the prestige of the past. Yuan Lie said in his heart You don't know that death is coming, but the smile on his face became more and more calm: "Okay, just give Lord Zhao some face, let him go by himself, you follow behind, forgive him for his wings and it is difficult to fly!" ”

Zhao Tuo snorted coldly and said: "His Royal Highness King Xu, although you have been favored by His Majesty, but the road ahead is dark, I advise you not to be too proud, now the Guo family is already walking on thin ice, it is very dangerous, if you want to know the current affairs, you should vote for the Ming Lord, and avoid giving the Guo family a funeral!" ”

Yuan Lie smiled and said, "Lord Zhao doesn't have to worry about me, I'm afraid that you will never see the sun tomorrow!" It's better to think about how to get out, it's the right way! ”

Zhao Tuo's face showed smugness: "Hmph! I want to know what skills you have to be able to overturn the case for the Guo family! ”

Yuan Lie smiled slightly: "Really? Then wait and see! ”

Zhao Tuo saw him with a smile on his face, and his eyes faintly showed a wanton madness, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and said secretly: Could it be that the other party really caught some tricks of the Zhao family? No! It's impossible! The witness is dead, and the evidence has been secretly destroyed by them! Even if the Guo family's hands and eyes are up to the sky, they can't let the dead give birth to white bones!
