Leng Lian knows the handsome woman in front of her too well, she looks plain, but in fact, she is ruthless, step by step, she will never do a useless thing, nor will she leave a useless person, she was sent to the prince, and she still thought that she could take the opportunity to get rid of Li Weiyang's shackles with the prince's favor, but at the moment, she didn't know what kind of trap she had stepped into. She looked at the other party and subconsciously said: "You said it simply, but I really don't have a clue how to do it!" ”

This is what he said, Li Weiyang smiled lightly: "As long as you understand what the prince's weaknesses are, you will be able to grasp him well." ”

Leng Lian raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of exploration in her eyes: "The weakness of the prince, how can you say this?" ”

Li Weiyang took a sip of tea before he continued slowly: "I said it very clearly just now, but you still don't understand. Okay, I'll make it clear to you. The crown prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, but he was not loved by the emperor at birth, and Empress Pei, the only one he could rely on, was also very cold to him. Over the years, he has studied and practiced calligraphy, studied government affairs diligently, and worked hard to do his best, just to be able to see a smile, a word of approval, and even a look of approval from Empress Pei. Maybe you haven't noticed that the prince's eyes always follow Empress Pei's joy and anger, because Empress Pei is so supreme and perfect, everyone in the world has to find ways to please her, including his son. However, what made him even more difficult to accept was that although he was Empress Pei's biological son, the other party only regarded him as a pawn. ”

Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Leng Lian couldn't help but squint her eyes, she wanted to refute the other party's words, but she knew that Li Weiyang was right, although she had not been with the prince for a long time, she had already understood the loneliness and fear in the prince's heart, his loneliness came from Empress Pei's neglect of him, and his fear came from the idea of being abandoned by his mother and completely away from the center of power.

Li Weiyang sighed lightly: "You are also a mother, naturally you should know that a normal mother, no matter whether her child is naughty or well-behaved, obedient or willful, will spoil him and spoil him without principle, whatever he says is what, what he does makes sense, and the mother's eyes when she looks at her child will always be infinitely gentle, but do you see that Empress Pei has the slightest love for the prince?" ”

Leng Lian said softly: "I haven't entered the palace, how can I know how Empress Pei treats the prince?" ”

Li Weiyang said lightly: "Although you haven't seen Empress Pei, you are by the prince's side, and you should know how hard he is trying to please Empress Pei." ”

Leng Lian gritted her teeth and said, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

Li Weiyang's smile was even more tranquil: "Although the prince is already this age, he is still infinitely looking forward to being able to get Empress Pei's favor." Because of this, he has more and more power and status, but more and more fears that he will one day lose it all. The sky is broken, but a wounded heart can never be repaired. As long as you can find a way to get through the prince's heart, you will be able to control this man very well. ”

Leng Lian couldn't help but clench her fists, almost tearing out the folds of her skirt. She looked at Li Weiyang and said, "Even if I can get the favor of the prince, what should I do next?" ”

Li Weiyang looked at her with a serious expression: "As long as you do what I say, you can not only successfully eliminate the prince's suspicion of you, but also make your favor go to the next level!" ”

Leng Lian stopped talking, because she knew Li Weiyang, and what the other party did must be very sure. She stood up and finally made up her mind: "You pushed me to the edge of the cliff, and now you have given me another vine, if I refuse to come up on this vine, you will put me to death, Li Weiyang, you are really a ruthless person." ”

Li Weiyang's face remained unchanged, and he whispered: "It's just each other, from the moment you stepped into the capital, you had the intention of harming me, but I left you a way to go, isn't it already very kind?" ”

Leng Lian smiled faintly, but there was three points of self-deprecation in her smile: "Yes, how did I forget, how deep your scheming is, how can you give me this opportunity to bite you back?" It's all my own greed, so I fell for you. ”

Li Weiyang said with a smile: "What are you talking about?" We are the best allies, you want to be rich, I want peace, mutual benefit and trust, and each takes what he needs. ”

Leng Lian said with a faint gaze: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of saying more, I will do what you say, if there is no way to achieve the desired effect, don't blame me!" ”

Li Weiyang got up, gently patted the dust on Leng Lian's shoulder, his smile was even gentler, and there was a hint of bewitchment in his eyes: "Don't say that it has nothing to do with you, this is not only about my plan, but also about your life, don't forget that Ying Chu is still staring at you!" ”

Hearing this, Leng Lian's expression changed, but after all, she just sighed helplessly and said, "I understand." ”

Hearing her helpless words, Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "If there is anything in the future, I will inform you in time." ”

Leng Lianfu glanced at Li Weiyang again, but shook his head lightly and said no more.

Li Weiyang came out of the temple, the carriage went all the way to the door of the teahouse that had been agreed in advance, Yuan Lie was holding the chestnuts boringly beside the steps, and his left hand was holding a dog tail grass high to tease the dog, the chestnuts were very excited, jumping around vigorously, and the appearance was very cute. At a glance at Li Weiyang, Yuan Lie casually threw the chestnuts to the guards and greeted him, and said with a slight smile: "Is the matter over?" ”

Li Weiyang nodded and said, "I'm done talking, but I still have to go to a place next." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Lie blinked his eyes and said, "I have already arranged the affairs of the opera garden. ”

Yuan Lie escorted the carriage of the Guo family all the way to the gate of a theater called Xiangliyuan before finally stopping, and the head of the theater troupe hurriedly ran out to greet him when he heard the news. Yuan Lie waved his hand casually and said, "Okay, don't be polite, take me to see the new play you just played." ”

The head of the class hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, yes, the private room is ready, two distinguished guests, please!" ”

Li Weiyang glanced at the class master, smiled slightly, turned around and entered the theater. The downstairs was already full of guests, the private room was packed, and there were even a lot of people standing on the stairs, which shows that this play is now booming. The two of them sat down in the private room of the theater, and tea and pastries were already prepared on the table. Zhao Yue stood behind Li Weiyang, but she was a little puzzled. A few days ago, she did see the young lady write a letter and tell her to hand it over to King Xu, but she really didn't know what it was written.

Yuan Lie glanced at Li Weiyang and smiled with a smile on his face: "The show is about to start, I hope you are satisfied with this play." The two were talking, only to hear the sound of the gong "dang", and sure enough, it opened. The chestnut was led by the guard, because it was the first time to watch the play, he was also very excited, and he bit the guard's trouser leg there vigorously, and the guard knew that this was the prince's favorite dog, so he had to grin bitterly, and pulled the chestnut to tear off his pants, the guard dared to be angry and did not dare to say anything to fight, but he was afraid of alarming the prince and could only scare him, Zhao Nan watched it on the side and laughed.

On the stage, seven or eight actors dressed as eunuchs stood in a row and shouted, "Long live the ride!" Then I saw a actor in a yellow robe standing on the stage, obviously playing the role of the emperor, behind him, a drama dressed in a gorgeous costume and a concubine accompanied the emperor's side, the two sat down at the table, only to hear the emperor smile and say: "The concubine is now pregnant with Liujia, it is really a double circle." Come on, come on, I'll give you a glass first. ”

The female actor who played the imperial concubine smiled slightly, and hurriedly thanked her, and then heard the emperor laugh loudly and sang: "Ai Concubine, I have been looking forward to this prince for many years, and now I finally obey the wishes of heaven and people, if you give birth to the prince, my wish for many years will be fulfilled at one time, I want to thank you!" The imperial concubine was sincerely frightened, as if she was flattered.

At this moment, the gongs and drums "dang" again, the curtain fell, and the second scene was changed, but a person in the queen's costume was whispering to the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch still had a white spot on his nose, which looked very funny. He knelt in front of the queen, with a sneaky appearance: "Qi Yu Niangniang, long live and go to bed, and before leaving, I also ordered someone to take good care of Li Meiren." ”

The queen sneered and sang meanly: "I don't know what's in my stomach yet, so I'm so happy!" ”

The eunuch said with bad intentions: "Li Meiren is pregnant with Liujia, once she gives birth to a dragon child, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Niangniang!" ”

The queen frowned: "What are you afraid of?" ”

The eunuch said: "Oh, all the servants are loyal to the mother. There is a way to start first to be strong, and then to suffer, Niangniang has not been pregnant after entering the palace, if Li Meiren gave birth to the prince before Niangniang, he will be His Royal Highness the Prince in the future, Niangniang, you treat the slave as heavy as a mountain, if you are useful to the place of the slave, go to the soup and fire, and never give up! ”

This pair of singing, acting vividly, Li Weiyang listened attentively for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "This word is a bit vulgar, but the singing is not bad, and the appearance is good!" ”

Yuan Lie smiled proudly: "I invited the most popular playwright to do it according to your instructions, the so-called vulgar elegance has to be understood by such ordinary people!" ”

Li Weiyang nodded and looked quietly again. Sure enough, I heard the eunuch say: "Niangniang, the slave thought of a foolproof plan." ”

The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "A foolproof plan? ”

The eunuch hurriedly sang: "Yes, Niangniang, it's better for the slave to find a suitable candidate, keep an eye on that Li Meiren, and wait for her to secretly change out the child on the day she gives birth." ”

The queen's eyes were slightly cold, as if she was wandering, Huo Ran got up and paced around the stage, at this time the rhythm of the erhu cloud board changed suddenly, showing that the characters were fighting fiercely in their hearts. Then I heard the eunuch sing again: "Oh, my queen, you must make up your mind sooner." Since Li Meiren is pregnant, you should be pregnant too! ”

The queen turned back suddenly: "I'm pregnant too?" ”

"Niangniang, the imperial doctor is in your hands, and now there is a ready-made dragon species, as long as you change it, are you still worried about the instability of the posterior? A child who is just one or two months old can't see it, and he can get through it with a little trick! What is the identity of Li Meiren, and how does she compete with you, but she is a lowly palace person! ”

I only heard the actress who played the queen smile coldly and sang: "You are really warm, considerate to the palace, and a good minion!" ”

The eunuch smiled and said, "The slave has always served the mother, so naturally he has to smear the liver and brain of the mother!" ”

At this time, the black curtain deliberately fell on the stage, revealing only two pairs of crystal eyes, but it was full of intrigue and trickery. The spectators in the audience couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, it turned out that the queen was going to deliberately pretend to be pregnant, and then take Li Meiren's child for herself!

The next third act is to change the child, the little palace maid stole Li Meiren's baby and hid it quietly, and then specially made a dead baby in a tray and only said that it was produced by Li Meiren, and the queen bought the eunuch into the slander that Li Meiren was virtuous and affected the prince, the emperor was furious, and actually beat Li Meiren into the cold palace, and within half a month, Li Meiren was tortured to death by the queen. A month later, the queen naturally gave birth to the crown prince, and this child was the son of Li Meiren, who was secretly hidden before.

The climax of the whole play is repeated, interlocking, and the first-class drama is invited, which vividly interprets the queen's viciousness, the insidiousness of the eunuch and the poignancy of Li Meiren.

Yuan Lie just smiled and said: "This drama will definitely become a hit, I guarantee that it will spread all over the western part of Yuexi, whether it is a dignitary or a pawn of a peddler, there is no one who does not know!" ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly: "Of course, this is the best, but if the government comes to find trouble......

Yuan Lie smiled even more: "You can rest assured about this, this drama is about the secrets of the royal family of the previous dynasty, how can it be targeted by the government?" Even if someone really wants to stop this play from continuing to sing, it proves that he has a weak heart. It's not good to sing, there are drums, there are storytelling, don't forget those artists who walk the streets and alleys, I will try my best to make these stories known to everyone! ”

Li Weiyang's eyes fell on the audience, she saw everyone's enthusiastic reactions, and some people were even so angry that they threw a teacup at the female actor who played the queen, obviously this play was very popular. Yuan Lie looked at her expression, but couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "But relying on such a play, what effect do you think it will have?" ”

Li Weiyang's eyes showed a hint of coldness, "The most terrifying thing in the world is gossip, no matter how strong a person is, there is no way to resist the power of rumors." Even if she has a high status and noble status, once she is involved in gossip, it will only take advantage of the wind and become more and more intense, and the so-called three people become tigers is this reason. ”

Yuan Lie nodded, his smile became interesting, and at this time, the scene had ended, and the audience was applauding, and many people applauded loudly and asked for another performance. Li Weiyang stood up, glanced back at the stage, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go, we should go back." ”

Three days later, one morning, Li Weiyang was freshening up in front of the mirror when he suddenly heard the door panel slamming down. Zhao Yue hurriedly went out to inspect, but it was Princess Ali who broke in, and said with a surprised face: "Jia'er, you still have the heart to sit here." I sue you, most of the big things have happened! ”

Princess Ali's expression didn't look like surprise, but more excitement. Li Weiyang smiled: "Oh, what kind of big thing? ”

Princess Ali grabbed Li Weiyang's hand and said, "Hey, you can go to the front hall with me, and His Royal Highness King Jing is also here." ”

Li Weiyang frowned slightly, but glanced down, and Princess Ali suddenly realized: "You haven't had time to put on your coat yet, okay, I'll wait for you, let's go and listen to what they have to say." ”

Li Weiyang sighed, turned his head and instructed the maid to fetch the coat, and after half an hour, they all cleaned up, and the two of them walked towards the hall, Princess Ali had already walked to the door of the hall, and kept turning back to urge: "Jia'er, you are so slow!" ”

Li Weiyang stepped into the hall unhurriedly, only to see that everyone was already seated, listening intently to King Jing's words. King Jing was wearing a dark green satin robe with a jade-colored belt around his waist, and when he saw Li Weiyang enter the door, he smiled slightly: "Just as I was talking about the important place, my cousin came." ”

Li Weiyang was surprised by three points on his face: "His Royal Highness King Jing came to the Qi State Mansion early in the morning, is there anything wrong?" ”

King Jing waited for Li Weiyang to sit down, and then said calmly: "In the past two days, there has been a strange story circulating in both the palace and the market, I don't know if my cousin has heard of it?" ”

Li Weiyang held the teacup in his hand, and there was a hint of carelessness in his smile: "I don't know what kind of story makes His Royal Highness King Jing so happy?" ”

King Jing called her cousin, but she called the other party "Your Highness", and the intimacy between these titles was complete. King Jing was rarely not angry, but just smiled: "Recently, most of the operas have become popular, and the content of the play is very strange, about a queen in the previous dynasty because she had nothing to do, so she secretly exchanged for the son born to a beauty with an underground status, and supported him as the crown prince, and sat firmly on the queen's throne in a grand manner." ”

Li Weiyang covered the tea in his hand, but a smile appeared on his lips, raised his eyes and said, "Oh, there is such a thing?" ”

King Jing nodded, looked at Li Weiyang tentatively, and said, "Cousin, you really don't know?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said: "I don't leave home, how can I know everything?" His Royal Highness King Jing don't sell Guanzi, let's continue. ”

At this time, Princess Ali couldn't help but urge: "Yes, you hurry up!" ”

Now Princess Ali has lost the embarrassment she had when she saw King Jing again, and King Jing smiled and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll continue to say that." This story is a story from the previous dynasty, and no one will think much about it, but just a day ago, a group of officials suddenly arrested the troupe and did not allow anyone to sing the play again. Surprisingly, although the play was banned, a rumor suddenly arose among the people, no, maybe not a rumor. ”

He paused for a moment when he said this, and his eyes stayed on Li Weiyang's indifferent face for a while before he continued: "People are quietly saying that this drama is alluding to the current queen mother, and the child who was secretly replaced is His Royal Highness the Prince, as for the beauty who was persecuted to death was a low-born palace maid who was implicated and forced to hang herself because she gave birth to a stillborn baby more than 20 years ago. ”

It's so miraculous, it's really just right. Li Weiyang's eyebrows did not move, and he never revealed his thoughts at all: "Oh, I can't see that these people have such rich imaginations, and the old things from more than 20 years ago can still be revealed!" ”

King Jing couldn't see Li Weiyang's thoughts, so he just sighed lightly: "Yes, at first, I thought it was just a rumor, so I didn't need to care too much, but now the rumors are getting more and more intense, and even the queen can't stop it." ”

Li Weiyang put the tea on the table next to him, and said lightly: "The rumor is like this, the more you stop it, the more powerful it will be, and the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan." ”

Qi Guogong frowned, and then he spoke: "This thing makes people feel a little strange, how could anyone suddenly think of something more than twenty years ago?" ”

King Jing smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, I also think it's very strange, and later I asked the mother concubine to know that there was indeed such a palace maid back then, and this woman happened to have served the queen mother, and she was a maid she brought into the palace." ”

Director Guo listened to it and couldn't help but ask with interest: "Is there really someone who says this?" ”

Mrs. Guo's brows were also furrowed, and after thinking about it, she suddenly said: "When you say this, I think about it, I have also heard Concubine Hui say it." ”

The Buddha bead in Princess Chenliu's hand paused, she raised her eyes, her gaze swept over everyone's faces, as if she was recalling something: "There is indeed such a thing, when Empress Pei entered the palace, there was nothing for a long time......"

Princess Chen Liu said this, but Li Weiyang smiled lightly, at that time, the emperor was infatuated with someone else, and he didn't look at the queen mother, how could she get pregnant and give birth? I'm afraid it's not just the queen, but even the other women in the palace.

Princess Chen Liu said: "Later, His Majesty began to involve the harem, but Niangniang was still not pregnant. Just when everyone thought that Queen Pei's position was unstable, she suddenly miraculously became pregnant and gave birth to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today. When Princess Chen Liu said this, there was also a trace of doubt in her eyes: "But there is nothing strange about it......"

King Jing smiled and continued, "I have also investigated, there was a very favored maid named Xiuyun by Empress Pei's side, and after Empress Pei became pregnant, the woman disappeared strangely, and I heard that the woman inadvertently offended Empress Pei and was punished by Niangniang. But I don't think it's that simple, and when I think of this play that has become popular in Dadu recently, I think it's another possibility. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at King Jing with a look of shock on their faces. King Jing's smile became deeper, but he said word for word: "I suspect that Empress Pei borrowed the womb to give birth to a child back then!" ”

Guo Dun was stunned for a moment and said, "What does it mean to have a child in the womb?" ”

Director Guo sighed lightly: "This idea is really too bold, the so-called borrowing the womb to give birth to a child means that Queen Pei used the palace maids around her to quietly sleep because she had nothing to do, and when she was pregnant, she hid her, and then gave birth to a son, and she took it for herself." Don't you mean that? ”

King Jing nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, it seems that we coincide." ”

Princess Chen Liu shook her head: "No, it's impossible. The palace is heavily guarded, if it is so easy to do it, wouldn't it confuse the royal bloodline, and anyone can be indiscriminate! ”

King Jing didn't think so: "What my grandmother said is wrong, how powerful Empress Pei and the Pei family were back then!" Because of the support of His Majesty Xià to ascend the throne, they will naturally be able to call the wind and rain in the palace, so what is the difficulty of secretly changing a small child? Thinking about this His Royal Highness the Prince, Princess Lin'an, and Na Anguo, I'm afraid they may not necessarily be born to her! ”

King Jing said such a thing is simply appalling, in the palace, the concubine's pregnancy and childbirth are all taken care of by a special person, there is no way to steal the beam and change the pillar without the courage of the sky, even if Empress Pei is powerful, it is difficult to do this.

Qi Guogong said: "His Royal Highness King Jing, joking is joking, why should you take it too seriously?" This is just a rumor! ”

King Jing's smile turned cold: "Even if it's just a rumor, I believe it's true." ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly, King Jing is going to borrow a ladder to go up the wall, no matter whether the prince was born to Empress Pei or not, he doesn't care what the truth is, the important thing is that this rumor can bring him great benefits, if the prince is really not from Empress Pei, then his identity as a concubine does not exist. If his biological mother was just a lowly palace maid, his identity would not even be as noble as King Jing, so the so-called prince would become a big joke. Because he is the son-in-law and the eldest son, the prince can do a good job in the position of the prince, if he removes the halo of Queen Pei all of a sudden, can he still get the trust and respect of the ministers, but he is just a puppet! This has endless benefits for attacking the crown prince and seeking to seize the throne of the prince, so King Jing was so excited that he came to the Guo family early in the morning to discuss with them.

Li Weiyang had already seen through the other party's thoughts in a few words, and said with a faint smile: "Your Highness, don't be happy too early, Empress Pei won't let this rumor spread for long." ”

King Jing sneered: "She wanted to stop it, but now even the palace maids who clean in the palace have already known and spread it around, and she can't stop the mouth of the world!" This kind of lethality is a big blow to Empress Pei! As he said this, a hint of pride crossed his eyes.

Li Weiyang looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head, although King Jing is smart and scheming, he is young after all, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he can't compare to Qi Guogong's calmness. Sure enough, I heard Qi Guogong say: "His Royal Highness King Jing, this matter has nothing to do with us, I hope you can stand firm, if Your Majesty or others ask you your opinion, you only say that you believe it is a rumor, and it is never true." ”

When King Jing heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Why? I also intend to ask your uncle to write to His Majesty and ask for a thorough investigation into this matter. ”

Qi Guogong shook his head, obviously disapproving: "Thorough investigation, how to thoroughly investigate?" Not to mention whether the queen mother is the biological mother of the prince, just say that you can count a little palace maid back then? She is the queen mother of the high-ranking prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also been the prince for so many years, and her power is deep-rooted, even if this rumor spreads out will damage their reputation, it will not shake the status of the prince, so I advise Your Highness, don't be in a hurry! ”

King Jing was stunned when he heard this, he was not a stupid person, but the opportunity he had been waiting for for many years suddenly fell from the sky and suddenly got a little carried away, and now he thought about it carefully and immediately felt weak, he was too happy for a while to get carried away, he sighed lightly: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, I understand, I won't show my true opinion in front of anyone, uncle rest assured." ”

Qi Guogong breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness can figure it out that is the best, no matter how lively the fire is there, let's just watch the fire from the other side, don't care too much." ”

After the discussion ended, Li Weiyang came out of the living room, but suddenly heard footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw King Jing smiling and greeted her, the smile on her handsome face was very bright: "Why is my cousin in such a hurry to leave, I still have something to say." ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "It's just a play, His Royal Highness can derive so many stories, and he also pulled out the palace maid back then, which really impresses me." ”

Yuan Ying's smile became very indifferent, but with a faint hint of pride: "Jia'er, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, I know that this rumor was planned by you, this play is well written, I really didn't expect you to have such a ability!" ”

Li Weiyang's heart moved slightly, and he just said flatly: "Your Highness overestimates me, this matter has nothing to do with me, if you didn't suddenly talk about it, I would still be kept in the dark!" ”

Yuan Ying looked at Li Weiyang quietly, he didn't believe that the other party was completely innocent in this matter, Pei Hou was eyeing the Guo family, I am afraid that this is Li Weiyang's first step to fight back. He couldn't help but take a step forward and said in a low voice: "Although this play is good, it will end sooner or later, just like what my uncle just said, I'm afraid it won't have much impact on Empress Pei's foundation." ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly and said, "Who said I was going to move Empress Pei?" ”

Yuan Ying's face showed a puzzled look, wasn't this play and those rumors to hit Empress Pei and the crown prince? So what did she go to great lengths to plan for? Now that he felt that he couldn't read the other party, he subconsciously said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Li Weiyang's smile became very beautiful, and his tone was also very brisk: "Your Highness, the so-called rumor is to give a fatal blow when a person is the weakest, and when a person is strong, it can only bury a shadow, of course, if this shadow is used well, it can also become a fatal weakness." ”

The more Yuan Ying listened, the more strange he became, but when he saw Li Weiyang's skirt fluttering down the steps, he was unwilling to chase after him again and said, "I hope you can say it more clearly." ”

Li Weiyang turned her head, her beautiful face shone with moving brilliance in the sun, her eyes were bottomless, but her tone was very calm: "Your Highness, everything needs to be planned before acting." Empress Pei is a very smart person, of course she knows that the rumors are inexhaustible, so she can only wait for them to gradually subside. But for the other person, he couldn't sit still, you just stared at Queen Pei, didn't you notice the other protagonist of this play? ”

Yuan Ying frowned: "You're talking about the father?" ”

Li Weiyang shook his head and gave a hint: "It's not His Majesty, but a very important person, whether it is Empress Pei, His Majesty or the government. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Ying suddenly came back to his senses and said "ah": "It turned out to be him!" Jia'er, what a brilliant idea! ”

Li Weiyang said with a smile: "That's all I say, and the next thing is to see how His Highness expresses himself." ”

Yuan Ying was stunned and said, "I, what can I do?" Didn't my uncle just say that I should not be in a hurry? ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly, already turned his head, his eyes fell on the plum blossoms in full bloom not far away, and his smile was very light: "His Royal Highness King Jing, wouldn't it be a pity if you can't grasp such a good opportunity?" You can't hit head-on, or you can play side drums from the side. ”

Yuan Ying couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Jia'er is really a female middle school Zhuge , I know what to do, don't worry, this rumor will spread farther and farther and longer." ”

Li Weiyang nodded: "Then I'll wait for good news." With that, she turned and walked away

Yuan Ying kept watching her back, just watched silently for a long time, and finally sighed lightly: "If it's really a powerful character, I really underestimated it before!" ”

At this moment, in the prince's courtyard, the prince walked around the house, and finally became furious, overturned the desk in front of him, and said angrily: "Get out, get out of here!" ”

The staff and henchmen in the study all looked at each other, they glanced at the prince, but they didn't dare to say anything more, and bowed and retreated.

The prince was still full of anger, like a lion about to explode, but he couldn't find an outlet to vent, he would only let his anger swell more and more, and he could hardly suppress it, at this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Whoever let you in, didn't I already say that you all get out!" ”

A soft voice sounded by the door: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong with you, who made you angry?" ”

As soon as the prince turned around, he saw Leng Lian's beautiful face, his heart trembled, before Ying Chu had asked him to hand over Leng Lian, saying that this woman was a spy of the Great Calendar, but he was still reluctant to give up on it in his heart, the most critical reason for this was that in addition to Leng Lian's beauty, there was also her empathy and gentleness.

Leng Lian's body has a feeling of inexplicable nostalgia, very warm, as if spoiled, he found in her the kind of feelings that are difficult to find in other women, he has no way to describe it in detail, but he faintly feels that the gap in his heart seems to be blocked by Leng Lian, this is the real reason why he would rather have a stiff quarrel with Ying Chu than hand over this woman. Although Li Weiyang didn't grasp Leng Lian's handle, it didn't mean that he completely trusted this woman. At this moment, he was in a bad mood, frowned and said, "Didn't I say that you shouldn't come in during the discussion?" ”

Leng Lian smiled slightly, put the chicken soup in her hand on the table, and said gently: "Your Highness, take care of yourself, Leng Lian will go out." ”

She had just turned around, but she heard the prince say, "In recent days, you have also heard rumors outside, right?" ”

Leng Lian paused and turned around, her eyebrows frowned slightly, looking like a sad flower on a cage: "What His Highness said was that matter......" There was some hesitation in her voice, and the prince was annoyed: "Sure enough, even a woman who stays at home already knows, who else in this world would not know!" As he said this, he suddenly became furious.

Leng Lian hurriedly said softly: "Your Highness doesn't need to be anxious, those are just rumors, and no one will believe them." ”

The prince was very angry and said, "Rumors? I have already checked, and there was indeed a very favored palace maid by the side of the queen mother, but not long after she became pregnant, she suddenly disappeared in the palace! Isn't that strange, you say? Yes, the queen mother is indeed a very cruel person, maybe the palace maid is just because she made a little mistake......" The prince's eyes shot countless cold glows, and continued: "Or maybe she really angered the queen mother, she will be punished, but I always feel so uneasy in my heart." Thinking of my mother's attitude towards me when I was a child, and thinking of how she used me like a pawn over the years, I unconsciously believe this rumor. You say, could I really not be from the queen mother? That's why she humiliated me like this, saying that I was a wreck! ”

When Leng Lian heard this, and saw the prince's panicked expression, she sighed lightly in her heart, Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang, you really hold the prince's lifeline, it turns out that you have been secretly planning this matter these days. Indeed, the relationship between the prince and Empress Pei is not harmonious, because Empress Pei is an extremely cold person, her heart is even cold, once the prince has the slightest bit of badness, he will be severely reprimanded, and Empress Pei's appearance is too unlike a mother, which makes Li Weiyang seize the opportunity. It doesn't matter whether Empress Pei is the prince's biological mother or not, what matters is whether the prince believes it or not.

The so-called doubt can destroy all of a person's self-confidence, and all the self-confidence of the prince is based on the fact that he is the son of Empress Pei and the prince of the country, and he tries his best to play the role of the prince and strive to be perfect, but now it seems that the prince's confidence has been destroyed by Li Weiyang's rumors.

He began to wonder if he was Empress Pei's son, and wondered if Empress Pei had killed his biological mother, although he had never seen the lowly palace maid, and although he had no solid evidence, he still went to investigate, what does this mean? It shows that he has unconsciously felt that the thing is true. While lamenting Li Weiyang's terribleness, Leng Lian couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said: "Your Highness, why believe those rumors, of course you are the biological son of the queen mother." ”

At this time, Leng Lian also felt strange in her heart, she didn't understand why Li Weiyang asked her to talk in the opposite direction, she could have made the prince further suspicious of Empress Pei, but now Li Weiyang asked her to play the role of a peacemaker in front of the prince as much as possible.

The crown prince was not comforted by Leng Lian's words, for he had heard them countless times, and everyone had told him that they were just rumors, and the ignorant people believed that it was because they lacked after-dinner topics, and the courtiers believed that it was because they wanted to use the matter as a capital to be exploited, and as for the long-tongued women, of course, they regarded it as a joke. If the prince really believes this, wouldn't he have fallen into someone else's trap? But the more you are told not to believe it, the more you will feel that maybe it is true, and once the seed of doubt is planted in your heart, it will go deeper and deeper until it takes root and grows into a strong tree. This bud in the prince's heart has already sprouted, and no one can stop it anymore.

When he heard Leng Lian say this, his face became even more ugly: "The queen mother summoned me into the palace all night, telling me that this is just a rumor, let me not take it to heart, she has never been so kind to me." I always feel that this incident makes me feel creepy, maybe that palace maid is really my biological mother, maybe I am indeed not the son of Empress Pei, otherwise why would she send someone to stop the troupe from singing? Otherwise, why did she send countless spies to sit in the teahouse, closely watching Yiqiē's movements? ”

Isn't that what you should do under normal circumstances? Leng Lian observed the other party's expression, but said in a low voice: "Your Highness, that is the mother is worried that the situation is getting worse. ”

Leng Lian is telling the truth, it is precisely because of the inexplicable origin of that rumor that Empress Pei wants to track down the source, so she will send someone to ban the troupe, and at the same time staring at those who are spreading rumors behind their backs, trying to find out who is behind the scenes, this is all human nature, and it is also what Empress Pei should do. But in the eyes of the prince, it became a rush to cover up the evidence.

The prince said in a panic: "But I'm afraid, I'm afraid that this is true, and then I will really have nothing!" He said this, but suddenly saw Leng Lian's face infinitely pale, and couldn't help but slow down in his heart: "What's wrong with you?" But what I said scared you...... Don't worry, I'm just skeptical, this qiē is not true! ”

He comforted Leng Lian in turn, but suddenly saw Leng Lian fall to her knees with a puff, and said with a frightened face: "Your Highness, Leng Lian is already pregnant." ”

Hearing this, the prince couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the haze in his heart was slightly washed away, and he hurriedly helped her up and said, "What's wrong with you?" Now that I'm pregnant, that's a great joy! ”

Leng Lian said with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness, Leng Lian has always dared not say anything to you, I hope you can forgive your sins." ”

The prince frowned and said, what can't be said directly? He couldn't help but think of what Ying Chu said to him, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and heard Leng Lian continue: "Actually, my identity is very special, I once lived in the palace of the Great Calendar. ”

The prince had already expected this, and said in his heart that this woman was really about to confess, but she deliberately let go of Leng Lian's hand and said in surprise: "What Ying Chu said is true?" ”

Leng Lian knelt on the ground again, and said with pear blossoms and rain on her face: "Lord Ying knew that I had to leave my hometown because of the palace struggle, so he tried every means to send me to the prince, and he also said......"

Hearing that Leng Lian was not Li Weiyang but Ying Chu sent to him, the prince's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he took a step forward and suddenly clasped her wrist: "What did he say?" ”

Leng Lian said in a low voice: "He also said that one is to let me keep a good eye on the prince, and the other is that I am from the Great Calendar after all, and I have been in the palace, although I have no intention of murdering the prince, but if I let someone know, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the prince." ”

The crown prince thought of the expulsion order that the emperor said, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, before he could ignore this because of Leng Lian's beauty, but when he heard that Leng Lian was sent by Yingchu, he couldn't help but be afraid, it was easy to hide the identity of a woman, what if Ying Chu caught this handle? What should he do? No wonder Li Weiyang didn't catch this trick, just because she was just a chess piece!

At this time, he had completely forgotten that Ying Chu was actually a subordinate next to his mother, and he was also the one who supported him to become emperor. Because of his childhood experience, he has extreme disgust and hatred for Yingchu. He couldn't help but doubt Ying Chu's intention to send Leng Lian to him, Leng Lian observed his words and looked at his expression, and said quietly: "The most important reason why Lord Ying sent me to the crown prince is ...... I think it should be borrowed from me to control His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

When the prince heard this, he sat down on the chair in a daze, and said in disbelief: "It's the queen mother, she wants to grab my handle and make me obey her for the rest of my life!" Yes, it must be! Because I'm not her biological son, and because I've always been bad for her lately, I can't satisfy her, so she desperately wants to grab my handle, you are a Dali and have been in the harem, I took you in, undoubtedly a spy! ”

After he finished speaking, he gasped, no matter how ridiculous this thing sounded, it made him think of the most terrible thing uncontrollably, yes, Leng Lian was indeed sent by Ying Chu, but Ying Chu was acting in front of him again, looking like he wanted to expel Leng Lian, why is this? Thinking about this, his mind was full of complexities.

From Li Weiyang sending himself to the prince's side, and then quietly foiling Ying Chu's conspiracy, and then withholding such a big handle, to planning the gossip about the prince's life experience, and then letting himself bite Ying Chu back, one qiē can turn a thing that was originally ridiculous to the extreme into reasonable and impeccable, and the most important thing is that the prince is disordered, hates Ying Chu, and he will believe whatever he says!

Leng Lian knew that the other party had already taken the bait, and sighed: "Your Highness is so generous, and you are so dear to me...... How can I bear to harm Your Highness! I know that Lord Ying must have said a qiē to the prince, and it is because I am no longer under his control that he wants to destroy my chess piece! If Your Highness doesn't believe it, every time I go out to win Chu, he will send someone to follow me, intending to kill me, if I hadn't been prepared to get rid of the other party in advance, I would have been dead! I know I'm guilty, but children are always innocent, so Your Highness will save me! ”

The prince stared at her, and suddenly remembered something: "But ...... If it is really as you said, why did Ying Chu identify Guo Jia in the palace last time? ”

Leng Lianqiao said with a pale face: "Of course, this is to win the trust of His Highness, when something happens, he can say that I was sent by Guo Jia to His Highness, Your Highness, think about it, if I was really sent by Guo Jia, she could already use this handle to attack His Highness!" Why have you been holding back? It's just because the coy attitude has always been Winchu! He's going to borrow a knife to kill someone, Your Highness! ”

With a click, the last straw that pressed on the crown prince's backbone finally broke all the beliefs he had built up for more than 20 years......

------Off topic------

This method seems absurd, but it has really appeared in history, for example, Wu Zetian's second son Li Xian is rumored to be born to Wu Zetian's sister Mrs. Han, and even Li Xian himself is very suspicious of his background. Another example is that Song Renzong's biological mother is not Empress Liu but Concubine Li, this Concubine Li used to be Empress Liu's maidservant, but this secret was not discovered until Empress Liu died, etc., it can be seen that history is more than fiction, hahahahahaha
