218 There is no return
At the beginning of the dinner, everyone looked at Pei Baoer with a strange look, originally they were very envious of Pei Baoer's stunning appearance, and they were also full of jealousy of her in their hearts, but now they looked at her with a good look. Although Pei Bao'er no longer has to marry Xiahou Yan, everyone knows that Pei Bao'er was caught and raped in bed in the prince's mansion, not to mention, her brother distorted the facts, all to cover her, I am afraid that this joke will be passed on among the nobles of Yuexi for I don't know how many years.
The silver chopsticks in Pei Bao'er's hand were clenched, she couldn't eat a bite of the delicious food on the table, and almost wanted to stand up and leave immediately, but Pei Hui looked at her with an indifferent look. She understood the meaning in her eyes very well, Pei Hui was warning her not to do anything embarrassing and conspicuous again. She is very afraid of this second brother, Pei Hui is scheming, not a person who is easy to see through, even if it is a father, he often obeys him, so the status of the second brother Pei Hui in the house is very high. Pei Bao'er has been afraid of his power since she was a child, and often looks at his wishes, not to mention that if it weren't for Pei Hui today, I'm afraid she wouldn't be as simple as losing her reputation, but she would have to marry Xiahou Yan, so now she can only look at Li Weiyang not far away with resentful eyes.
Li Weiyang was talking and laughing with the people around him, Pei Baoer couldn't wait to walk in front of Li Weiyang and scratch the other party's peaceful face with sharp nails! She couldn't forget the shame of today for the rest of her life, she endured it and endured it, she finally couldn't help it, and threw the teacup on the ground, this crisp sound attracted the attention of others. Those envious eyes in the past all turned into disgust and contempt, Pei Baoer couldn't hold back anymore, and tears rolled down. At this moment, she heard a cold voice ringing next to her: "What face do you have to cry on!" Pei Baoer turned her head and looked at Pei Hui's cold expression, there was not even a trace of emotion in that expression, Pei Hui looked at his sister indifferently, his tone was very peaceful, outsiders only thought he was comforting, and they would never have thought that he was saying such cold words: "Wipe away your tears, don't lose the face of the Pei family again." ”
"Second brother, you just watched me being bullied like this! Why won't you get justice for me? Pei Bao'er looked at him, tears falling down her eyes, and pleaded bitterly.
"Wipe away the tears, don't let me say a third time!" Pei Hui held the wine glass in his hand, but repeated it very coldly. "Losing to others, you yourself have no ability, and clamoring for me to avenge you will only make me suspect that all these years of teaching you have been in vain. Remember, this is the shame that Guo Jia has brought you, and one day you will have to get it back from her! ”
Pei Bao'er didn't expect the other party to say this, she took the handkerchief handed by the maidservant next to her with a trembling hand and wiped away her tears, turned her head and looked in the direction of Li Weiyang not far away, and forcibly suppressed the hatred in her eyes, it was obvious that she regarded Yiqi's fault as Li Weiyang's. In Pei Bao'er's opinion, King Xu Yuanlie refused to marry her, and even set a trap to harm her, all for this woman who was not as good as her in appearance and talent, and this sense of shame of being defeated was the source of her anger. For a woman like her, it is her habit to be angry for no reason, and every time she does something bad, she will blame someone else, and Li Weiyang has obviously become the object of her resentment.
The crown princess and the crown prince were entertaining the guests, and the smiles on their faces were very ordinary, especially on the prince's face, there was no chagrin at all that the trick had failed. Mrs. Guo sneered on the side, the prince is not the kind of person who is really open-minded, at this moment, he must have hated King Xu Yuanlie to the bone in his heart, and this dead knot does not seem to be easy to untie. But so what, sooner or later, the Guo family and the prince will face each other one day, it's just a matter of time, so what's there to fear?
At the end of the whole dinner, Li Weiyang accompanied Mrs. Guo out, but at this moment, a beautiful woman broke into front of her very suddenly, looking angry and ruined. Li Weiyang's bright eyes looked at each other, with three points of coldness in his eyes: "I still wonder who is blocking my way, it turns out to be Miss Pei, is there something wrong?" ”
There is no one in the prince's mansion who doesn't know Pei Bao'er, plus as soon as the incident just happened, Pei Bao'er has become a celebrity in Yuexi, and the slaves and maids waiting next to him saw Pei Bao'er breaking in angrily, and they didn't dare to stop it, so they all knelt aside. Pei Bao'er suppressed her anger and said sharply: "Guo Jia, I will definitely remember this matter today!" The humiliation I have endured will definitely be repaid to you a thousandfold! ”
Li Weiyang looked at each other coldly, and couldn't help but smile faintly on his lips: "Oh, what does Miss Pei have to remember?" Remember when you were caught raped in bed? Or do you remember that His Royal Highness King Xu would rather push you to a eunuch than marry you? ”
When Pei Baoer heard this, the string in her brain seemed to be broken, and the words that Pei Hui had warned her were all thrown away at this moment, and she raised her hand to hit it, but before she heard Mrs. Guo scream, Pei Baoer's whole person had fallen crooked on the cobblestone road, and there was a hideous red mark on her snow-white face! Pei Bao'er trembled all over, and she was extremely angry, she said with trembling lips: "Guo Jia, you actually connived at the evil servant to hurt people!" ”
Zhao Yue sneered, just now she saw Pei Bao'er about to make a move, so she directly stepped forward and slapped her back. Li Weiyang didn't show the slightest guilt on his face, Pei Baoer wanted to hurt someone, did she want to stand in place and wait for the other party to come? Li Weiyang is not the type to be bullied so easily! She smiled casually, her eyes swept over Pei Bao'er: "Really? How can I see that Miss Pei herself accidentally fell?"
"You're going too far!" Pei Bao'er was angry, and the maidservant next to her hurriedly went to help her, and she finally got up, her eyes were already full of red hatred.
Mrs. Guo, who had been silent beside her, chuckled: "Why does Miss Pei still think that she is the first beauty in Yuexi?" I'm afraid that once today's incident gets out, you will become the number one joke in Yuexi, if I were you, I would go back immediately, and from now on I will be locked in the room and not come out, and I will save the face of the Pei family! ”
Pei Bao'er was so angry that she was so angry that she was not trembling anywhere in her body, as if even her internal organs were going to be ridiculed by Mrs. Guo.
Li Weiyang just smiled faintly, as if he didn't care, and at this moment, a hand stretched out diagonally next to him and stopped Pei Bao'er. Li Weiyang glanced lightly, and the beautiful son under the moon was Pei Baoer's second brother Pei Hui.
A sneer appeared on Pei Hui's face: "Miss Guo, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, your sharp mouth will break into a big disaster sooner or later!" ”
Mrs. Guo smiled slightly, and her tone was very cold: "If you talk about a big disaster, no one can compare to Miss Pei, my daughter has her own family and brother's care, so I don't bother you, you better go back and discipline your sister well, don't let her come out again to make jokes!" ”
Li Weiyang was silent, just looked at Pei Hui with a smile. Pei Hui took a breath lightly, but he didn't pay attention to Mrs. Guo, but looked at Li Weiyang, and what flashed in his eyes was complete coldness. The air around her suddenly froze, and even Pei Bao'er didn't dare to make a sound at the moment, I don't know why, she felt that there was a treacherous atmosphere flowing between Li Weiyang and Pei Hui, even though they didn't say a word between them, but it seemed that countless tricks had passed. Pei Hui stared at Li Weiyang, only feeling that the pupil was like an ice spring, reflecting his shadow, but he couldn't see the bottom, and he couldn't see the other party's thoughts, that kind of death-like silence was something he had never seen in others. In the past, he was good at observing people's hearts, and he could always see smugness, cheerfulness, anger, and sadness in a person's eyes, but Li Weiyang's eyes couldn't see anything, which made him feel uneasy, and even a kind of panic rose from the bottom of his heart.
Not only Pei Hui was weighing Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang was also looking at her opponent, Pei Hui's flying eyebrows, a pair of eyes without a smile. Her eyes were like a sharp knife cutting into her skin, and there was a dull pain. In the end, it was Pei Hui who looked away first, and he glanced at Pei Bao'er: "Okay, don't make any more trouble, let's go home." ”
Li Weiyang looked up and looked again, Pei Hui had already left with Pei Baoer. His steps were very large, and the green robe on his body swayed in the wind, which also added a trace of coldness inexplicably, Li Weiyang looked at the other party's back, but smiled coldly. Although Pei Hui didn't speak just now, she heard the other party clenching his bones tightly, and even made a "squeak, squeak" sound. It seems that even Pei Hui hates himself to the extreme, this beam is big. But she is the most innocent person in this matter, and Pei Bao'er has nothing to do with her from beginning to end. However, it is ridiculous that the other party wants to settle this account on her head.
Mrs. Guo also couldn't understand, she sighed and said: "This family is really unreasonable, we don't know anything about this matter, but we have more of this matter." ”
Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said: "There is no reason to talk about in this world, only the weak and the strong, mother, it's late at night, we should go back." ”
Mrs. Guo nodded and said, "Your brother is still greeting people, let's get into the carriage first." ”
The moon is like water, Pei Fan handed over the sign to meet the queen, he just stepped into the hall, he couldn't wait to lift the curtain and said loudly: "The queen doesn't make decisions for us, let Bao'er do?" When something like this happened, the Pei family was simply disgraced! Niangniang, how can you let me have the face to meet the ancestors of the Pei family? ”
In the afternoon, Pei Fan came back from outside Beijing with his son, and Pei Hui came back to prepare first, but he heard the news that Pei Zhen had an accident, Pei Hui immediately rushed over, and later came back from the prince's mansion with a handwritten letter, Pei Fan couldn't believe it at that time, but when Pei Hui brought back Pei Bao'er who was full of tears, Pei Fan knew what Pei Bao'er had done. Of course, he wants to complain about the prince in his heart, but what he should complain about is Wang Yuanlie and the young lady of the Guo family, because Pei Baoer keeps saying that it is Guo Jia who caused this situation, Pei Fan loves this daughter the most, because she is not only the pearl of the Pei family, but also has a peerless appearance, he invited her the best teacher to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and paved the way for her at any cost, but all the hard work of many years was unexpectedly smashed here. At this time, Pei Fan's face was full of anger, and his voice was almost roaring.
Empress Pei sat on the high throne and didn't look at him, the expression on her face was very indifferent, but there was a trace of ridicule in her eyes: "Why did the second brother suddenly return to Beijing at this time?" She asked about a completely unrelated matter, as if she didn't care about what happened in the Prince's Mansion.
Pei Fan said angrily: "Let's not talk about this first, let's take revenge on Bao'er first." ”
Empress Pei smiled coldly and said, "Revenge? How to get revenge? I have already said that I told Bao'er not to provoke the Guo family, but has she listened to what I said? ”
"Why is the queen so jealous of the Guo family, for so many years, we have the strength to wipe each other out, why are we still being bullied by the Guo family? What kind of thing is Guo Su, why should we be so patient! Pei Fan couldn't help but say angrily.
Empress Pei smiled coldly, there seemed to be a trace of anger suppressed on her beautiful face, and her innate majesty and power instantly rushed to her face, and she came out of the sheath with her sword: "Second brother, you are still so reckless, and you are not calm at all!" Who have I ever feared in my life? Now it's not the Guo family that is really worth worrying about, but the person sitting on the emperor's throne! ”
Pei Fan was stunned for a moment, speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Queen Pei, her expression was cold, as if she didn't say the sentence just now: "Niangniang, I don't understand what you mean." Pei Fan couldn't help but say.
The two of them were in the quiet hall around them, and only the slightest sound of breathing could be heard.
The resolute look on Empress Pei's face was slowly fading, replaced by a kind of exhaustion, obviously a little tired of her brother who didn't understand her mind: "I don't do anything to the Guo family, it's not that I'm afraid of him, but the emperor wants to protect them!" Our enemies are not only the Guo family, but also the Chen family, as well as those families outside who are eyeing us and watching us compete with each other, and those hostile forces that are inseparable from the Pei family! Do you understand all these second brothers? ”
Pei Fan actually didn't understand, he only felt that the Pei family had the strength to wipe out the Guo family, so why didn't he do it for a long time. In this chess game, he can only see three moves, but he can't see the world beyond three steps. It is not difficult to fight the Guo family, but the emperor has been supporting them intentionally or unintentionally, and he is maintaining a balance!
Empress Pei was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Second brother, many things are easier said than done. Not only the Pei family, the Guo family, and the Chen family, but also the major families in Yuexi, the forces in the military, and the groups in secret collusion, there are too many forces in Yuexi, which can threaten his power, but after so many years, why is he still sitting so stable? It is precisely because our families are holding each other back, the Guo family and the Chen family are working together to contain the Pei family, this is a triangle, very balanced, and it reassures him in the eyes of the emperor, but if you move the Guo family or the Chen family first, this balance will fall into a corner, but I am afraid that the first thing the emperor wants to cut off is the Pei family. The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, but between the emperor's thoughts, you still have to live a little safely, thinking that there are more than 1,000 people in the Pei family, you have nothing to bear. ”
Pei Fan looked at Empress Pei in disbelief, these words his sister had never said, no, he had never thought about it. This younger sister of his, who entered the palace at a young age, has a very ruthless temperament, and is not very close to their two brothers, and no one may know what the younger sister is thinking except for her father. And his father has always valued Empress Pei, treated her like a jewel, and even told him that the Pei family would rely on this woman to support them in the future, as long as they followed her closely and acted according to her orders. In the past, his cousin couldn't get used to Pei Hou's behavior at home, so he couldn't help but sarcastically say a few words to her, who knew that when his father heard it, he disregarded his uncle's face, and forcibly drove the cousin out of the Pei family, which left a very deep impression on everyone in the Pei family, so that from childhood to adulthood, Pei Fan didn't even dare to touch anything that Pei Hou liked, and even looked at her face to act, figuring out whether she was in a good mood or bad today, for fear of annoying her. But he was so angry just now that he forgot about it...... At this time, seeing that her stunning face revealed a mocking look, Pei Fan was shocked.
Thinking of Pei Bao'er's humiliation, he mustered up the courage to ask loudly: "Could it be that in order not to make the emperor suspicious, our Pei family has to endure this breath?" ”
Empress Pei smiled faintly, this brother is too stupid, it is a waste of tongue to talk to him, she said indifferently: "At this point, the Pei family is not much smarter than the Guo family, seeing that the Duke of Qi is always forbearing, he knows that the Guo family has chosen to hide above the court, but in the harem, Concubine Guo Hui is against me everywhere, this is the entry in the inner court!" This is the choice of the Guo family, retreat openly and advance secretly! How has Concubine Guo Hui been in the palace for many years? It's not because she's lucky, it's not that I'm cowardly, but because the Guo family is really smart people who know when to pretend to be stupid, when to back down, and when to do nothing! The head of the Chen family is also an old fox, why does he look at the Guo family everywhere? On the surface, it is a party, one glory is honored, and one loss is lost, no, it should be said that there will be absolutely no loss, the Guo family and the Chen family are among the best families, the emperor will not move him lightly, on the contrary, he will also give the Pei family a warning, do you understand? If you rashly move the people of the Guo family, the emperor will not sit idly by, this is the reason why I have tolerated them for so many years, if you can't even see this clearly, it is better to take your family back to your hometown as soon as possible to farm! so as not to bring death to the Pei family. ”
Pei Fan raised his head and looked at Empress Pei, his back was wet with cold sweat, for some reason, he always felt a great deal of anger suppressed under Empress Pei's calm face. Today's behavior has inadvertently completely angered the queen mother, and he wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "Then what should Bao'er do?" ”
Empress Pei glanced at him coldly: "What should I do, just do it, do you still want me to sue you?" ”
Pei Fan was taken aback, and quickly interrupted: "I will send her out to avoid the limelight." ”
Queen Pei sneered, her original intention was to execute Pei Bao'er, and her brother was obviously unwilling to do anything, but for the Pei family, Pei Bao'er was already a useless waste, and it was just a big joke for such a person to stay in the family. Queen Pei waved her hand lightly and said, "You go out, I don't want to hear the words Pei Bao'er again." ”
Pei Fan's heart was shocked, he didn't dare to say anything more, the angry and questioning look when he came just now was gone, the invisible pressure brought to him by Queen Pei made him breathless, he tiptoed out, and he didn't even dare to come out.
Empress Pei glanced at the back of her second brother's disappearance, and said indifferently: "Did you hear it?" Come out. ”
Behind the curtain, the figure of the prince appeared, he slowly lowered his head, knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and said, "Queen Mother, this time I am too reckless. ”
Empress Pei smiled faintly, suddenly stood up, and walked to the corridor not far away, the prince was inexplicable, but heard her whisper: "Come here." And the prince went over. Empress Pei stood on the high steps, motionless and without speaking, she suddenly pointed into the distance, and said with a strange brilliance in her eyes: "What did you see?" ”
The crown prince turned his gaze to the place that Empress Pei had said, it was a side of the sky, and he saw nothing except a full moon. Empress Pei gently hooked her lips and sneered: "You have been staring at the throne, but you don't look at the world, even if you sit on the throne and have nothing in your mind, you can't sit steadily!" After speaking, she turned to him and said: "You are the crown prince and the next emperor, but countless people are staring at you, they watch your every move, peep at your mistakes and omissions, but you can't see this clearly, just entangled in personal grudges, what's the difference between you and those women in the harem?" The same short-sightedness, stupid and blunt! ”
The prince's cold sweat was rolling down, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground: "I was wrong, Queen Mother, I know I was wrong." ”
Empress Pei looked at the top of his head and shook her head: "Your eyes shouldn't be on the Guo family, you shouldn't just stare at the imperial chair, and you shouldn't take revenge on any personal vendettas, what you have to learn is how to govern the world, not do those stupid things like Lin'an, I let you wait for the opportunity to divide and dissolve, not let you do it yourself." The alliance between King Jing and King Xu is already contradictory, and if you don't have to provoke it, there will be a day when it will fall apart. What you have to do is to wait until the crack reaches a certain point, which is the time to defeat the Guo family in one fell swoop, and what you have done today has shocked the snakes, not only failed to divide them, but made them more closely united. ”
The prince didn't dare to say anything, he already knew that he was wrong, he got into Pei Bao'er and Xiahou Yan in vain, not to mention, the queen didn't scold him, it was the best ending, and she said such things to him, which he didn't expect. Empress Pei said in a cold tone, "How are you going to deal with the matter of fellow cultivators Tian?" ”
The prince was stunned, he didn't expect Empress Pei to mention this matter. Tian Tongxiu's matter involved a lot of things in the household department, the emperor began to search, and the first people who were taken down were the officials of the household department, and these people were all inserted by the prince with great difficulty, so he could be in the household department. This time, there were seventeen people in the household department alone, which was a huge blow to the prince. Now that he knew how powerful the Guo family was, he pinched his pain without moving, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will try to keep those people, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry." ”
Empress Pei sneered: "This time it is not the criminal department Shangshu who is responsible for investigating this matter, but the criminal department waiter Ding Ding, this person used to be just a small person, no one cared about him, but his personality is very upright, he takes his coffin with him every time he checks a family, ready to lose his head at any time, he is completely open-minded, you meet such a hard-headed person, you can't do anything with him, so you have to do nothing." ”
Do nothing? No! This is absolutely not possible! The crown prince raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "No, those people are the chess pieces that I have finally laid out, it is because of them that I can mobilize those silver taels of the household department at will, whether it is to buy the minister or arrange spies, I need that money, if the queen mother is worried that something will go wrong, then I will act quietly and ask a neutral person to find a way to intercede with my father." ”
Empress Pei's eyes became colder and colder when she looked at him: "Now that the wind and rain are coming, which official has clean hands and feet?" Whoever dares to step forward and hit it hard will definitely hit his head and bleed! At that time, even if someone comes to help you, it won't have any effect, and you can't see that your father is showing you that your father is making an example of you? ”
The prince couldn't help but become anxious, looked at Pei Hou and said, "Are you just watching my people being purged?" ”
Empress Pei looked at the moon not far away, and said: "Your father's deal with the household department is just the first step, the next step is to clean the entire court, I am afraid that the forces you have arranged over the years will not be much left, you don't know his personality, no one can stop what you want to do, if you do the opposite, even if he is not merciful to you." So not only can you not protect them now, but you can't meet anyone, only then can you protect the people you want to keep! Yes, they may be in jail now, but as long as you keep quiet, this matter will not endanger you. ”
The prince couldn't help but say: "But those people have some ...... in their hands" He didn't continue, but Queen Pei said clearly: "Don't worry, what should be said and what should not be said, they all know in their hearts that they will not confess you, you must know that the crime of corruption is nothing more than killing the family, and it will not be connected to the nine clans, if it is related to colluding with the prince and forming a party for personal gain, it is a plot to misbehave, and they are not so stupid." ”
When the prince heard this, he showed a relieved look on his face. Empress Pei smiled: "Your father is just rectifying the rule of officials and warning you by the way, if he wants to kill people, how many of them are clean in this court?" The law does not blame the people, he can't kill hundreds of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, if these people are all dead, this court will not be able to turn around! At this time, if you, the crown prince, rush out, you will only become the target of the public, and become the first person to be cut off by the emperor, and the forces you want to protect will not be able to protect any of them, if you are indifferent, the emperor will not do so much, the way of the emperor, the prince has a lot to learn. Queen Pei didn't say anything more, and said lightly: "You go back." ”
The crown prince looked at his queen mother, didn't dare to say anything, and retreated gently, he thought that maybe he couldn't understand the other party for the rest of his life, what was Queen Pei thinking?
At this moment, Empress Pei suddenly stopped him: "The hunt is about to begin." ”
The crown prince was stunned for a moment, and then stopped: "Yes, my father has ordered everyone to prepare to go." Empress Pei turned her face, her beautiful face glowed faintly under the moonlight, white and dazzling, which was moving, but what she said was very cold: "You tell the king a word for me." ”
The prince looked at Empress Pei, but heard her say in a flat tone: "I don't want to see Guo Jia return to Dadu again." ”
The prince was taken aback and immediately said, "Yes." ”
At this time, Li Weiyang had already returned to Guo's house, Mrs. Guo was walking in front, Guo Cheng stopped Li Weiyang and said, "Jia'er, I have something to say to you." ”
Li Weiyang stopped and glanced back at him, those eyes were faintly shining under the moon, and she smiled: "If the third brother has anything to say, just say it." ”
Guo Cheng glanced at Li Weiyang, a little hesitant in his heart, in fact, there were some things he wanted to say a long time ago, but he always felt that this matter might not be as strict as he thought, so he kept pretending not to know, but now he felt the need to remind her: "Jia'er, do you think that Yuan Ying seems to like you very much." ”
Li Weiyang was stunned, she didn't expect Guo Cheng to take the initiative to mention this matter to her, she shook her head a little amusedly and said, "His Royal Highness King Jing may think that I am a suitable candidate for Princess Jing, as for liking it...... Not to mention it. If the third brother is worried about this matter, it may not be too unfounded. "Wonyoung is a smart man, he won't destroy the alliance with King Wonyeol at this time.
Guo Cheng shook his head and said, "You think about it too much, I always feel very uneasy, Yuan Ying's personality is not as kind and easy-going as you see." King Jing is a smiling tiger, everyone knows it, but there are some things she doesn't know very well, Li Weiyang looked at Guo Cheng, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Is there anything I don't know?" ”
Guo Cheng sighed, and said with a low smile: "Yuan Ying is a forbearant person, he is different from us, he has always known what he wants, and has always been very patient, that day he was going to send you a guqin, but when he saw you and Yuan Lie together, he broke the strings on the spot, I thought he was so good to see you, he should give up, but when I sent him out, I saw ambition in his eyes, **, and a look of imperativeness, I have never seen such a look from his eyes." No, maybe once. Guo Cheng lowered his head as if to recall, and then he said to Li Weiyang: "I have the impression that my father once gave me a sword, which is very rare, and it was made by a famous swordsmith who spent eight years of hard work, and even melted his own blood and a hundred years of cold iron. King Jing saw it and liked it very much, but when he saw my beloved, he didn't ask me for it, and I didn't pay attention to what kind of expression he showed when he saw this sword, and then one day he ......" Speaking of this, Guo Cheng paused, as if he was seriously recalling the scene at that time.
Li Weiyang looked at him with a calm face, just waiting for him to continue. Guo Cheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes did not fluctuate very much, but there seemed to be something hidden in it: "Two years have passed, when Yuan Ying and I were practicing swords, he could have won me, but somehow my sword slashed on his body, that time he was seriously injured, bleeding from his left arm, and almost saw white bones, my father scolded me fiercely, and forbade me to use that sword that was too sharp!" So I had to put it on the shelf, I couldn't touch it, and I didn't take it to heart at first, but every time I thought about it, I felt strange. ”
Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Where is it strange? ”
Guo Cheng smiled, with a hint of deep groaning in his eyes: "Although Yuan Ying tried his best to explain to me afterwards, and even accompanied me to kneel together, the more he explained, the more angry his father became, and later he became even more angry at that sword, I am making the sword, and I am to blame, how can I blame that sword?" It occurred to me later that my father might have seen something at all, he just didn't want me to use that sword anymore. ”
Li Weiyang's heart was stunned, and his eyes became more contemplative: "Where did that sword go later?" ”
Guo Cheng smiled: "This is a sword that hurts brotherhood, I naturally won't touch it again, five years later, once King Jing played chess with me, he proposed to bet on that sword, and at that time I had almost completely forgotten the dusty sword." From then on, I learned that he had coveted the sword for five years, and that during these five years he had had countless opportunities to propose it to me, but he did not, he just wanted to take it from my hands in the open, and if I gave it to him, he would not be so interested. ”
Li Weiyang couldn't help but be a little surprised, this His Royal Highness King Jing is really interesting, you have to give it to him, he doesn't want it, he has to take it from you. In fact, she saw the imperial momentum in this man's bones in Jingwang Yuanying, which not everyone has, she saw it in Tuoba Zhen back then. But she thought that Tuoba Zhen and Yuan Ying were different, Tuoba Zhen had no support from his mother since he was a child, nor did he have the love of his relatives, he struggled out of the beast herd by himself, although she didn't like this person, but she also had to admire this person's tenacity and means.
And what about Wonyoung? Behind his hearty appearance and gentle approach, is there also madness and stubbornness hidden in his bones? She didn't know that judging from the matter on this sword alone, it was just a battle of will between two teenagers, but Yuan Ying spent five years and always remembered that sword, which was still a little weird. She looked at the other party and smiled faintly: "Third brother may have thought too much, things are not as strict as you said, I will not be the sword, and Yuan Lie is not the third brother." ”
Guo Cheng just smiled faintly, but there was more worry in his smile: "Yes, Yuan Lie is different from me after all, I will willingly give the sword, and I have been friends with Yuan Ying for many years, but he is still so calculating and planning for me." Will Yuan Lie be willing to let you out? Or do you have a long-standing friendship with him? So what will he do to Won Yeol? There are some things that I can't say to Yuan Lie, but I want to remind you, please tell Yuan Lie and let him be careful of King Jing. ”
When the words "be careful of King Jing" came out of Guo Cheng's mouth, Li Weiyang couldn't help but be surprised, her eyes sank, and the smile in her eyes was replaced by coldness: "Are you saying that Yuan Ying is going to do something to Yuan Lie?" ”
Guo Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I shouldn't have said these words, Yuan Ying is the one I want to help, isn't it?" If you marry him, it will be a happy thing, but ......" After he finished saying two words, he looked into Li Weiyang's eyes and said: "However, I have regarded you as my sister, if I see you sad, sad, I will choose to stand on your side." ”
Li Weiyang stared at each other's faces, and did not speak for a moment, she did not expect that Guo Cheng would choose to stand on her side between Yuanying and her. Guo Cheng seemed to see what she was thinking, and just smiled slightly: "You are a member of the Guo family, this will not change at any time, no matter how good my relationship with Yuan Ying is, I can't watch him hurt my sister, of course it will make my mother sad." Speaking of which, he himself was a little embarrassed.
Li Weiyang already understood his intentions: "In any case, thank you for the reminder from the third brother." ”
When Guo Cheng left, Li Weiyang saw the bushes next to him and said, "Don't hide, come out!" ”
As soon as the bushes flashed, he saw Yuan Lie's shining eyes, he brushed away the fallen leaves on his shoulders one by one, and his cool thin lips lightly hooked a pleasant arc: "What? Did you already know I was here? ”
Li Weiyang just smiled and said: "The third brother has long known that you are there, and what he said just now was for you, so let you be careful Jing Wang Yuanying." ”
Yuan Lie's voice was low and charming, but it was full of coldness: "What your third brother said is a bit alarmist, am I afraid that he will not succeed?" ”
Li Weiyang sighed: "It's not that you're afraid of Yuan Ying, it's that you should be more vigilant, in my opinion, Yuan Ying is an imperial talent, he has been hidden for so many years, and he has many cronies in the court, he is by no means an ignorant person, you ruined his marriage with the Guo family, naturally you have to pay a price." ”
Yuan Lie laughed and said, "Really? Then I'll wait for him to come. ”
Li Weiyang glared at him and said, "If you are bullied by him, don't turn around and cry with me, I will not stand up for you." But she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the cold light in Yuan Lie's eyes, and when she looked over, he was already smiling casually, snorted, and grabbed Li Weiyang's sleeve scoundrelly and said, "If you don't stand up for me, do you want to protect King Jing?" In terms of talent and martial arts, none of him can match me, if you don't choose me, do you choose him? ”
Li Weiyang couldn't help laughing, the number one scoundrel in the world is probably King Xu Yuanlie, he can use the most innocent face to say the most shameless words. Li Weiyang smiled, suppressed his smile and said, "Have you noticed Pei Hui's expression today?" ”
Yuan Lie sneered and said: "Pei Hui is the most calm person among the sons of the Pei family, and it is also your ability to force him to jump to his feet." Yuan Yeol's eyeliner had already informed him of what happened in the garden.
Li Weiyang nodded and said, "What you did today has completely annoyed the Pei family, I think even if Queen Pei can endure this, they can't bear it." How are you going to solve this trouble? ”
Yuan Lie narrowed his eyes and smiled a little weirdly: "I don't care about their ghostly tricks, by the way, it's the annual hunt in three days, do you want to go together?" ”
Li Weiyang looked at the moonlight in the sky, but said with a faint smile: "Father can bring his family with him, and I always feel that there will be a lot of interesting things happening at this hunting conference." ”
Yuan Lie's eyes lit up a little and said, "I guess, they must be thinking that this time the young lady of the Guo family is going to die on the grassland...... However, I really want to see what the prince and the Pei family can come up with. "The matter of digging his own grave, Yuan Yeol has always liked to hear about it.
"Do you think Empress Pei is a fool like them?" Li Weiyang shook his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "I'm afraid that this time there will really be no return......
"Don't worry about it, we should strike first and take the opportunity to eradicate the Pei family!" Yuan Lie had already said this, Li Weiyang was stunned, and when he turned around, who knew that his whole person leaned over suddenly, obviously with bad intentions. Li Weiyang glared at him coldly, threw off his sleeves, didn't expect the other party to move faster than her, took her in his arms, and kissed her on the lips with a "chirp", she hadn't been angry yet, Yuan Lie had already taken a step back quickly, flashing so much that there was no shadow.
Every time I use this method to take advantage, I still enjoy it...... Li Weiyang subconsciously touched his reddened lips and sighed helplessly. The night on the horizon is thicker, Li Weiyang glanced at it, but fell into her own thoughts, the annual Yuexi hunt is about to start, she is really looking forward to it.

On the last day, the monthly pass, hahaha, maybe the heroine of the hunting conference was accidentally clicked, so that the children who were annoyed by watching the conspiracy didn't have to complain...... I said, there is a period of exhaustion when reading texts, and when you are tired of reading, you can automatically rest, you can rest for a short time, or you can never have to go back, and you don't have to tell me when you leave, I am famous for my glass heart, and my heart beats when I see some complaining comments......
