In the evening, Li Weiyang stood in the courtyard, silently looking at the rain in front of him, looking a little uncertain. When Zhao Yue saw her like this, she stepped forward to put on a cloak for her, and said in a low voice: "Miss, it's cold, you have to take care of your body." ”

Li Weiyang glanced back at her, but said with a slight smile: "Zhao Yue, how long have you been following me?" ”

Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment, then bowed her head and said, "Miss Hui, the slave has been following you for more than four years. ”

Li Weiyang sighed softly: "The days passed so quickly, and it had been four years before I knew it." Zhao Yue couldn't help but be a little puzzled when she heard Li Weiyang's tone of emotion. Li Weiyang glanced at her and didn't explain much, but said lightly: "In the past few years, we have experienced a lot of ups and downs, and every time I feel safe, but now I feel uncertain for the first time." Zhao Yue couldn't help but be even more surprised when she heard the other party say this.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded: "I have never seen you so lost, is it really bad this time?" This is Yuan Lie's voice, and Li Weiyang can distinguish it lightly without looking back.

Zhao Yue stepped aside gently, and Yuan Lie walked over, looking at Li Weiyang's side face, with a consistent smile on his face: "Weiyang, why are you so worried, this is not like you." ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "Should Li Weiyang be an invincible person?" Not everything is as good as it could be in this world, and I can't always come up with a way to get rid of the enemy. ”

Yuan Lie frowned and said, "Are you blaming Guo Dun for being reckless?" It's not the first day of his sex, so don't bother with it. ”

Li Weiyang shook his head and said softly: "If I hadn't made a feud with Princess Lin'an first, I wouldn't have gotten into trouble with Empress Pei." The most important reason why Empress Pei is so eager to target the Guo family now is to deal with me. Guo Dun is just an inconsequential pawn, Empress Pei will not pull him into the water for no reason, her real purpose is just to kill me. ”

Of course, Yuan Lie knew that the real purpose of Empress Pei's attack on Guo Dun was to hit Li Weiyang, but he didn't feel that he would definitely lose this time, he took a step forward, gently took Li Weiyang's hand, and said softly: "It's none of your business at all, even if you don't save it, the Guo family will always fight against the Pei family one day, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the Pei family will never allow such a force as the Guo family to exist, not to mention that King Jing is ambitious, he wants to replace the crown prince, even if the Guo family does not want to get involved, In the end, it will still be regarded as a thorn in the side of Empress Pei, and your storage zài only accelerates this process. ”

Why doesn't Li Weiyang know? Her gaze looked a little unusually suspicious: "But it's the first time I've met an opponent like Empress Pei." Over the years, she has met many people but has never felt apprehensive, but this time, she has no idea what the other party will do next.

Yuan Lie smiled lightly and said, "Empress Pei is a powerful enemy, I am not surprised that you will be jealous of her." His heart moved, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, and said lightly: "No matter what happens, I am here, you don't have to worry." ”

Li Weiyang found a comfortable position in his arms, and then closed his eyes slightly and pretended to sleep. Yuan Lie looked at her, his heart turned a thousand times for a while, hugged her hard, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, and smiled distressedly: "These things are so annoying, if you don't want to, you don't want to do it, leave it to me to solve it!" ”

Li Weiyang suddenly opened his eyes, and there was three points of surprise in his eyes: "What ideas can you have?" ”

Seeing her look of surprise, Yuan Lie blinked aggrievedly, and his long eyelashes shook twice: "Don't underestimate me!" ”

Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows: "I don't believe you have any good ideas. ”

Yuan Lie lowered his head funny, his forehead gently pressed against Li Weiyang's, and rubbed it affectionately, and his amber eyes smiled crookedly at the moment, like a crooked moon in the sky: "Mountain people have their own tricks, but ...... You must bribe me before I can sue you. His voice was soft, but his words were infinitely gentle. Li Weiyang narrowed her eyes, reached out to hook his neck, and pulled him slightly, just as the two looked at each other, she smiled briskly and muttered: "Yes, my Royal Highness King Xu is unparalleled in intelligence, I really want to know what kind of idea you will come up with!" ”

Yuan Lie didn't expect her to say this, he was stunned, and then he chuckled, and inadvertently noticed that the two were so close, his eyes unconsciously sank a little, and they seemed to have deepened. Li Weiyang looked at the other party, only to feel that those eyes were deep as if they were a beautiful sea of stars, and the waves were magnificent, so that when she looked into it, she didn't want to leave anymore.

Unexpectedly, at this time, someone suddenly coughed lightly twice, which startled them and immediately separated. Li Weiyang turned his head to look, but saw that it was Director Guo and Guo Cheng who walked in.

Guo Cheng's face was full of embarrassment, and he looked embarrassed, a different color flashed in Director Guo's eyes, and then he smiled: "When is it, and you are still in the mood to spend the moon, let's discuss how to solve the matter of the fourth brother!" "Well, he just can't see King Xu so easy, and it's good to add some blockage to him.

Yuan Lie stared at Director Guo, with a look of smiling in his eyes, and after all, he just said lightly: "Fifth prince, listening to what you said, it seems that there is some countermeasure." ”

Director Guo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head dejectedly and said, "My third brother and I have been thinking and meditating for a day, but we haven't come up with any way, so I still came to beg my sister." ”

Li Weiyang looked at Director Guo thoughtfully and said, "I'm still thinking about this matter." ”

Director Guo took a step forward, and said in a somewhat uneasy voice: "Then you have to be faster." This matter has now been sent to His Majesty's imperial case, and I am afraid that the verdict will be pronounced tomorrow. ”

Li Weiyang frowned and said, "With such a serious case, doesn't it have to go through the triage of the three divisions?" ”

Director Guo just shook his head: "This time there is a storm in the city, rumors are spreading, and Your Majesty is very angry!" I'm afraid that he won't wait for the three divisions to interrogate, and he will make a verdict first. I heard that Concubine Guo Hui and King Jing both went to intercede this afternoon, but they were all severely reprimanded by His Majesty. Concubine Guo Hui begged bitterly, and kept kneeling in front of the palace to ask His Majesty Xià to forgive Guo Dun, but His Majesty ordered someone to forcibly fork Concubine Guo Hui out, I am worried...... His Majesty had already murdered Guo Dun. ”

When Li Weiyang heard the news, he sighed slightly: "I heard what you said that His Majesty did kill him, but it is impossible for us to find enough evidence to exonerate Guo Dun." In the current situation, those guards and maidservants from other courtyards testified that the fourth brother had blood stains on his body and a knife wound on Wang Guang's body...... The fourth brother can't get out of it anyway! ”

Guo Cheng showed a trace of anxiety on his face, and said, "Then, if you let Princess Nankang ...... her"

Li Weiyang had already sued Mrs. Guo before, so it is not surprising that the Guo family now knows about it. Li Weiyang shook his head and said, "It's not proper! If the princess is allowed to come forward, others will only think that Princess Nankang and Wang Guang are having an affair, which will not only insult the reputation of the deceased, but also drag the princess into the water. After all, the relationship between the princess and the Guo family is well known to the world, and everyone will think that the princess will come out to testify in order to help Guo Dun get rid of his crimes. I also want to know that her testimony will not only not bring any favorable proof, but will affect the entire Guo family together. ”

Director Guo and Guo Cheng glanced at each other, and they both saw from each other's eyes that this matter was very difficult.

King Xu looked at everyone, suddenly walked to the edge of the chessboard by the window, picked up a chess piece and played with it in his hand: "Now this chess game has reached a dangerous place, Jia'er, I want to ask you." Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yuan Lie. Yuan Lie smiled, his eyes shining brightly: "Last time I besieged your chess pieces, but you played chess from the southeast to avoid my edge and surround my vital point, forcing me to turn the gun to save me, so that I gave up the good situation and finally lost to you, do you remember this incident?" ”

Li Weiyang couldn't help but bow her head and think about it when she heard what he said, and after a while, she suddenly realized something, her eyes showed a hint of brilliance, and she stared at Yuan Lie and said, "So, you already have a way to win in your hands?!" It's not that she hasn't thought about this method, but it's a pity that it's too difficult to catch the other party's key point! Yuan Lie said this, obviously he had already found it!

Yuan Lie said confidently: "I just collected it this afternoon, but it's ridiculous that Empress Pei only knew how to attack, but unexpectedly there was a fire behind him." I think if she had been smart, she would have known what to do. ”

Li Weiyang thought about it, but he was not blindly optimistic: "It's not so easy to snatch food from Empress Pei's mouth, if you are not careful, you will lose everything, this matter must be carried out confidentially!" ”

Yuan Lie knew that Li Weiyang was an extremely cautious person, so he smiled and nodded. Guo Cheng still didn't feel at ease and said: "What are you talking about, I still don't understand." ”

Director Guo had already heard the door just now, and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, don't worry, Jia'er and His Royal Highness King Xu will have an idea." ”

Guo Cheng frowned, his eyes swept over the faces of the three of them one by one, and finally he could only sigh and say, "In this way, I will ask my sister and King Xu." ”

When Director Guo and Guo Cheng left together, Yuan Lie turned his head, looked at Li Weiyang with a smile and said, "The evidence is in hand, how to use it to maximize its value depends on you." Li Weiyang just smiled faintly: "That's so, but I don't have much confidence to be able to bargain with Empress Pei." ”

Yuan Lie peeked that there were no outsiders around, and he was immediately overjoyed, and took a step closer cheekily, and said mysteriously: "I believe in your strength, of course, maybe you still need a helper." ”

When Li Weiyang heard this, he seemed to think of something, and smiled: "Yes, I still need a helper, or she may not be willing to help me, but as long as she is there, it will be extremely useful." ”

Won Yeol smiled quietly, revealing a mouthful of shiny teeth when calculating people. Just when he was about to find a chance to kiss Fang Ze, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "It's getting late, His Royal Highness King Xu should go back early." When he looked back, he was the handsome fifth son, Director Guo, poked his head out again and said with a smile on his face.

Yuan Lie's face sank, and he said in his heart, I am running for your Guo family, how can I get a little interest? It's so calculating! This guy really has bad intentions! He was hesitating, but Director Guo had already walked back quickly, dragged out his arm and said, "Doesn't His Royal Highness King Xu want to go back?" That's okay, come and come, come and play chess with me in my courtyard. ”

Before Yuan Lie could speak, he was dragged out by Director Guo, who was laughing with his teeth and claws. Li Weiyang couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this scene. Zhao Yue was relieved to see that Li Weiyang's expression had recovered calmly.

The next day, a decree came from the palace, and Guo Dun was sentenced to be beheaded.

Hearing such a will, Mrs. Guo burst into tears and fainted from crying. Qi Guogong was still calm, and he told Li Weiyang: "I entered the palace yesterday and asked His Majesty for a few days, at least so that we have time to find enough evidence, but His Majesty insisted on refusing, and he will be executed in ten days!" ”

Li Weiyang smiled coldly: "In this case, unless someone can come up with real evidence, there is no way to save the fourth brother at all, but everyone knows that the evidence cannot be found at all." ”

Of course, Qi Guogong also knew this, he had already sent people to search around the courtyard, hoping to find clues to prove that Guo Dun was innocent, but in the end he found nothing. In addition, Guo Dun, who was in prison, refused to say why he went to the other hospital that day. The parties refused to speak, even if Qi Guogong had the power to turn the clouds and rain, there was no way to overturn the case for him.

Thinking of this, Qi Guogong's face showed a deep melancholy, and he didn't say a word, until the tea in front of him was cold, he raised his eyes and said, "Jia'er, I'm afraid that this time your fourth brother will ......."

Li Weiyang looked at Qi Guogong fixedly, and a trace of firmness flashed in his dark eyes: "Father, don't worry, I will let the fourth brother go home safely." ”

Qi Guogong's heart jumped, and he subconsciously said, "Jia'er, are you really sure?" Ten days, only ten days! Will you be able to find evidence in 10 days? ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly and thoughtfully: "I don't need evidence, I don't need anything." ”

Qi Guogong looked at Li Weiyang and was completely stunned, now that even those staff around him can't find a way to rescue him, what can Jia'er do? She also said that no evidence is needed, which is simply a fantasy.

Li Weiyang was not ready to say everything, but said solemnly: "Father only needs to take good care of mother, and the rest ...... Leave it to us. With that, she got up and saluted Qi Guogong again, then turned around and walked out. Qi Guogong looked at his daughter's back and felt more and more suspicious.

Time passed little by little, and Qi Guogong never saw Li Weiyang take any action, and even she never sent anyone out to collect evidence, nor did she participate in the discussion between the staff of Qi Guogong's mansion, let alone make the slightest preparation for the rescue of Guo Dun. Qi Guogong saw it in his eyes, and felt more and more puzzled, seeing that the day after tomorrow was Guo Dun's beheading period, if he couldn't think of a way, Guo Dun had only one way to die! Qi Guogong couldn't help but feel that he actually thought too highly of Jia'er, she must be just a girl, and it would have been too embarrassing for her to let her come up with ideas. Thinking like this, Qi Guogong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

At this moment, Li Weiyang suddenly entered the study and reported to him: "Father, my daughter is going to the palace today to visit Concubine Guo Hui." ”

Qi Guogong looked at Li Weiyang and said with a look of surprise: "At this time, go to visit Concubine Guo Hui?" ”

Li Weiyang nodded: "Concubine Hui knelt in the palace for a long time because of her intercession for the fourth brother, and I heard that she was sick, so she summoned her family to the palace to visit." My mother was sick in bed, and my grandmother was not well, so I had to go. ”

Qi Guogong didn't say anything in the end, just looked at her meaningfully and said, "Jia'er, just do your best in everything, don't force it." ”

Li Weiyang knew that the other party might have guessed something, and he didn't break it: "Father, don't worry!" ”

The carriage went all the way to the palace, Li Weiyang got out of the car, and then passed through the palace walls, and followed the leading palace maid to the palace of Concubine Guo Hui. The female officer came out and said softly: "Miss Guo, Concubine Hui just took medicine and lay down, and the slave will go to report it." ”

Li Weiyang shook his hand and said, "No need, I'll just wait for Niangniang in the Imperial Garden." ”

The female officer was taken aback and said, "Is Miss going to visit the Imperial Garden?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said: "There should be no irregularities in this, besides, the plum blossoms are about to bloom, right?" ”

When the female officer heard this, she became more and more puzzled: "Yes, winter is coming, and the early plum blossoms will bloom soon, does Miss Guo want to enjoy the plum blossoms?" The slave maid will lead you to the imperial garden first, and when the mother wakes up, you can see you again. ”

When the official lady enters the palace, she does not have to stay in the palace all the time, she can go to the imperial garden for a walk, which is not overstepping, but she must avoid it when she encounters a nobleman, and she cannot recklessly bump into the front to visit. When the female officer took Li Weiyang to the garden, she saw from a distance that the fragrant breeze was lingering and the flowers were blooming, and there was already a noble person sitting there, the female officer was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Miss Guo, let's go back first." ”

Li Weiyang looked at the queen's Luan driving not far away, but said with a faint smile: "Since we met on a narrow road, why retreat?" As she spoke, she smiled and walked forward. The female official was terrified, you must know that the queen mother and Concubine Guo Hui have always been at odds with each other, and now if something happens to Miss Guo in the palace, she can't eat and walk around! When she thought of this, she became more and more frightened, but it was also a disrespectful sin not to visit her when she was so close, she hurriedly ordered someone to hurry back and report to Concubine Guo Hui, and then hurriedly followed Li Weiyang.

Li Weiyang looked calm, with a smile on his face, and solemnly saluted the queen: "The courtiers have seen the queen's mother, but I don't know that the mother's mother is here, and the courtiers are disturbed." ”

Queen Pei swept over with a pair of phoenix eyes, but she was not surprised to see that it was her, but smiled faintly and said: "It turned out to be Miss Guo, how could you have the heart to enter the palace to visit your aunt today?" ”

Tomorrow is Guo Dun's beheading period, and the sentence asked by Queen Pei is obviously stimulating Li Weiyang. Li Weiyang heard this, but she couldn't see the slightest nervousness and anxiety in her expression, she stepped forward, her eyes were warm: "Yes, Concubine Hui is unwell, and her mother entrusted her courtiers to enter the palace to visit her mother." ”

Queen Pei smiled, looked at the prince next to her and said: "What a coincidence, Miss Wang also came to the palace today to give her the embroidery embroidered for me, you two are really smart, you actually met together!" ”

Sitting on the embroidered stool next to her is Wang Zijin, her clothes are extremely plain in color, although it is inconvenient for her to enter the palace because of her brother's death, but the deadline given by Queen Pei has arrived, so after asking for the will, she can only personally send the embroidered mountain and river map to Queen Pei, but she never expected to meet Li Weiyang here!

Wang Zijin didn't know that Li Weiyang was visiting, but Li Weiyang calculated that Wang Zijin would come here. Thinking of this, Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said, "It turns out that Miss Wang is also there." ”

Empress Pei's gaze swept over the faces of the two of them, only to see that Li Weiyang was beautiful, while Wang Zijin was infinitely amorous, like two completely different flowers, each blooming with beautiful brilliance, she couldn't tell who was more dazzling, a sneer flashed in her heart, and she said with rare kindness on her face: "Since they are all here, then sit down." ”

The female official next to her immediately sent an embroidered stool, Li Weiyang thanked him, and heard Queen Pei smile quietly: "Is Concubine Guo Hui okay?" I heard that two days ago she knelt for a long time in front of His Majesty's hall. Alas, this incident is also an accident, I think Guo Gongzi should not be the kind of traitor, and I want to ask Miss Wang to mourn by the way. ”

The prince's face changed, and then he lowered his head: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

Empress Pei's eyes fell on Li Weiyang's body for a moment, and said: "Of course, according to my heart, I hope that the two families can shake hands and make peace, but the matter has come to this point, and if Guo Gongzi is not executed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the people to be angry." Miss Guo, you still have to take good care of your parents after you go back, they must be very sad when they send white-haired people to black-haired people. ”

Li Weiyang narrowed his long eyes, subconsciously stroked his sleeves embroidered with delicate plum blossoms, and said humbly: "Niangniang's words are very true, but although my fourth brother is a reckless person, he is not such a traitorous and evil person, so I believe that the real murderer is still at large." ”

The prince's heart jumped, and he glanced at Li Weiyang, and his expression showed a slight strangeness.

Empress Pei had a sneer on her lips, in her heart Li Weiyang was already desperate, otherwise she would not have entered the palace again to beg Concubine Guo Hui, at this moment hearing Li Weiyang say this, Queen Pei only thought she was a dead duck with a hard mouth, and said disapprerovantly: "Miss Guo, the facts are already in front of you, why bother to quibble?" Tomorrow is the time to remove the beheading, even if your tongue is as bright as a flower, there is no way to change this ending! ”

Li Weiyang said unhurriedly: "What Niangniang said is that Guo Jia really wants to turn the tide, but unfortunately he can't return to the sky." If you change the mother's mouth to intercede, I think Your Majesty will listen to your temporary suspension of this punishment and arrest the real culprit. ”

The ridicule in Queen Pei's eyes was even worse, did she want Guo Jia to spare Guo Dun when she heard this? This girl really dares to think that she originally designed a qiē by herself, how could she let the other party go for no reason!

Li Weiyang saw the pride in Empress Pei's heart, and after the conspiracy succeeded, no matter how deep a person was, it was difficult to hide this mentality. She pursed her lips and smiled again: "What is Miss Wang entering the palace for?" ”

The prince said lightly: "Today, I entered the palace to send mountains and rivers to my mother. ”

Li Weiyang said with a little expectation on his face: "The courtiers also have some experience in embroidery, I wonder if the mother can reward the courtiers for one or two?" ”

When Empress Pei heard this, she raised her eyebrows, beckoned, and instructed the people around her: "Didn't you hear what Miss Guo said?" Take it to her and show it. ”

The palace maid immediately sent the map of mountains and rivers to Li Weiyang's side, Li Weiyang unfolded it, only to see that this picture of mountains and rivers was magnificent, but the embroiderer was delicate and fine, and couldn't help laughing, and said with appreciation: "Miss Wang is really an outstanding embroiderer and has a unique heart." Looking at the mountains and rivers on this mountain and river map, every grass and tree is lifelike, presumably His Majesty will praise Miss Wang's gift on his birthday. ”

Queen Pei's beautiful face is extremely graceful: "Miss Guo really has a vision, and Zijin's embroidery is indeed the best in the world." ”

Li Weiyang watched for another moment, and there was a gloomy light in his dark eyes: "This place seems to be Hezhou." ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the direction where her finger was staying: "Yes, it's Hezhou." ”

Li Weiyang shook his head slightly: "Now there has been a big incident in Hezhou in the past two days, does Miss Wang know?" ”

Empress Pei's expression turned cold, and Wang Zijin didn't know why: "Oh, I didn't know about this, I don't know what happened?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Hezhou is rich in coal mines, and many people in Hezhou have made a fortune by privately opening coal kilns. If that's all they want, in order to cover up the crime, they even flood people with the intention of destroying the evidence. Half a month ago, His Majesty's superintendent of the Imperial History secretly inspected Hezhou, and those people were in a hurry and caused a major accident, drowning more than 200 miners at once. Mother, don't you know about such a big thing? ”

Empress Pei squinted her eyes slightly, and her expression became more and more cold: "Is it, these people are so bold that they drowned two hundred miners?" ”

Li Weiyang nodded, and seemed very surprised that Empress Pei didn't know about it: "Yes, although these two hundred miners are all prisoners of the imperial court, and there are many traitors among them, but these people should not have appeared in the private kiln...... However, those private kiln owners bought off the government and smuggled these prisoners to mine coal. After being discovered, in order to cover up the crime, he flooded the coal mine and drowned all the prisoners. Not only stealing state property, but also killing people, such a crime is really heinous! ”

Wang Zijin showed a dumbfounded expression, she didn't know why Li Weiyang suddenly mentioned this matter, let alone that such a big thing had happened in Hezhou, she subconsciously glanced at Queen Pei, but saw that although the other party's face was still calm, her eyebrows trembled unconsciously.

Li Weiyang has already continued: "These people are so bold and reckless, if His Majesty knows about it, he will definitely be punished heavily!" It's just that I'm worried that they have a lot of protective umbrellas behind them, and even officials and businessmen collude to take advantage of the shares. ”

The prince knew that it was better for him not to intervene at the moment, but he still couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly: "I inadvertently got several coal kiln joint shares, one of them is very strange, he usually only gives a little symbolic money, but in the end he takes the largest amount of dividends, sometimes he doesn't even take out a penny, but he accounts for eighty percent of the shares." Isn't that weird, you say? A person who has neither land, nor funds, nor does he bear the responsibility of running a mine, let alone go down to the kiln to dig coal, but he gets so much money for nothing, Miss Wang, guess what? ”

Wang Zijin frowned, Li Weiyang's words were actually very clear, someone in the DPRK and China had acted as an umbrella for these private kiln coal mine owners, and his purpose was to obtain huge mining profits. But minerals belong to the state, especially in this dynasty, the emperor for those who privately open coal kilns, all of them are eaten alive and severely punished, once one is caught, the party will be killed and the nine clans will be killed, almost the same crime as rebellion! However, due to the huge profits from mining, there were still people who continued to invest in this industry, and in order to be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the emperor safely, they had to find a backer. Listening to what Li Weiyang said, the private kiln that had an accident this time must also have a backer, and this backer is probably not small. What a smart person Wang Zijin is, she quickly thought of something, and then looked at Empress Pei.

Empress Pei forcibly suppressed her beating eyebrows, and said lightly: "You all go down, I have something to say to the two young ladies." Hearing Empress Pei's order, all the palace maids bowed their heads and exited the pavilion. Li Weiyang's gaze turned to Pei Hou, and he smiled very happily on his face.

The prince looked at Li Weiyang's expression, only to feel that the pair of plain eyes were unwavering, and there was no abnormality at all, like a guqin song, elegant and quiet, but revealing a quiet coldness. Wang Zijin felt that Guo Jia was much better at acting than her, and she could be so calm in the face of Pei Hou!

Empress Pei didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere became very strange for a while. It wasn't until cold sweat oozed from Wang Zijin's forehead that Empress Pei sighed and said, "Is that agreement in your hand?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "If I wasn't there, how could I enter the palace?" ”

"Sure enough, it's a little fox!" Empress Pei said coldly: "You are here to threaten me today." ”

Li Weiyang naturally showed a smile, but there was no smug look on his face: "The courtiers don't dare, Niangniang said too strictly, if it was just embezzlement of millions of taels of silver, presumably His Majesty would not be angry, but he embezzled minerals, and ordered to kill people and exterminate his mouth, this crime is big, even if His Majesty doesn't want to pursue it, Niangniang also intends to be partial, but I'm afraid that I can't protect the person behind it." After all, if you don't do such a heinous thing, you will have to do it, and once you do it, your reputation will be over. ”

The anger in Empress Pei's heart could no longer be held back, and she slapped her palm on the table, and the armor on the tail finger of her right hand was broken into two with a "snap".

The crisp voice made the prince's heart skip a beat, and she subconsciously left the stool and immediately fell to her knees. But Li Weiyang, who was opposite her, sat calmly, the rocker was straight, and his expression did not change in the slightest. Wang Zijin's body trembled, in this moment, he and Li Weiyang were separated, and in the face of Queen Pei's pressure, he involuntarily knelt down, but Li Weiyang did not react...... This shows that just in terms of concentration, you are far from the other party. Why, next year will be about the same age, but the other party can be so calm?!

Li Weiyang looked at Empress Pei with a pair of cold eyes, and said with a smile: "Why should Niangniang be angry, the courtiers are just telling the truth." ”

Empress Pei's breathing instantly became short, adding a bit of solemnity and depth: "Do you think that you can pull the prince off the horse with just the case of the private kiln?" ”

Li Weiyang chuckled: "In terms of figuring out the holy will, I can't compare to the queen mother anyway, and I can only rely on diligence to make up for it." If you don't believe it, you can gamble," After speaking, her slender fingers brushed the beautiful mountains and rivers again, but the hairpin between the hairpins was gently swept across the embroidery, and everywhere she went, the embroidery threads were scattered and the silk was broken, "It's just that the more perfect things are, the more they can't withstand damage, just like this embroidery, a sharp hairpin can be completely destroyed!" Niangniang, you should be cautious, don't make a big mistake because of a momentary mood. ”

"You!" Wang Zijin saw that the things he had embroidered carefully and sleeplessly were destroyed in one fell swoop, and he looked at Li Weiyang in amazement.

Li Weiyang glanced at Wang Zijin, but smiled faintly, gently wiped the dust off the hairpin with the broken embroidery, and then threw it on the ground casually.

"Guo Jia, don't say secret words in front of Mingren, you can hand over that contract. Even if you sell a favor to this palace, I won't treat you badly. Empress Pei froze her eyebrows and said lightly.

Li Weiyang remained silent, just smiled and said, "Niangniang, this agreement ...... The courtiers naturally gave it away, but it was worth it for such an important thing to exchange a human life! ”

Empress Pei was already impatient to listen to it anymore, she couldn't hide the flames in her eyes, and stood up and said coldly: "Don't worry, I always want to satisfy you." As she spoke, she had already turned her back, and finally closed her eyes as if she was exhausted, before she raised her voice and said, "Come on, send the two young ladies out of the palace." ”

Wang Zijin and Li Weiyang walked out of the imperial garden together. The prince fell to his feet and almost fell to his knees. Li Weiyang smiled and hugged her, and said softly: "Miss Wang, why are you so nervous? ”

Cold sweat ran down the prince's forehead, she looked at Li Weiyang and said, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes: "You use me." ”

This is an affirmative sentence, which shows that the other party already knows it. Li Weiyang deliberately showed surprise: "Miss Wang's words are wrong, I just picked one of you to come to see the queen when you were there, how can you say that you can use it?" ”

The prince smiled coldly and said: "Don't pretend, you obviously know that I am here, and you deliberately came to the door, but you just want to induce Empress Pei to think that I am colluding with you, isn't it?" ”

Li Weiyang sighed lightly: "Miss Wang is really smart, she thought of this layer in such a short time, yes, I just borrowed you to step on it, presumably you are magnanimous and won't mind." ”

How could it not be mind? Wang Zijin took a deep breath and said, "Guo Jia, you are really powerful, very powerful!" I just gave you a closed door at my brother's funeral, and you turned your head and slapped me violently, ruthlessly, really ruthless! After saying a few cruel words in a row, she couldn't express her current annoyance.

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Miss Wang has long been impossible to become Empress Pei's ally, and I'm just pushing you by doing this, why are you so angry?" ”

Wang Zijin was not fooled, and asked, "How did you get the contract?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "I have been collecting this evidence for a long time, but the time is not yet ripe, and there is no way to take it out immediately." "This evidence was secretly found by Yuan Lie, and he was originally going to use it to deal with that person at a critical moment, but at this moment, in order to save Guo Dun, he had to take it out, although it was a pity, but now that he can see the appearance of Pei Hou eating turtles, Li Weiyang still feels happy.

At this time, seeing Wang Zijin also had a look of disbelief, Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows slightly: "No one in this world will have no weaknesses, and the same is true for Empress Pei, when we were looking for evidence of the Pei family's deficit, we found evidence of bribery between them and some ministers of the DPRK and China by chance. Not only that, but they also secretly found that the Pei family had private kilns in eight places such as Hezhou, Lanzhou, Cangzhou, and Hezhou, and they used the power in their hands to buy shares, and they were white wolves with empty gloves. What would be the result of publicizing such a thing? ”

The prince's heart moved: "Pei family? They don't have so much guts, they don't have so much power! It's really a prince! "Just now when she heard Li Weiyang abruptly mention the crown prince to Empress Pei, she was already suspicious, and now she is sure of her guess!

Under the sun, Li Weiyang smiled very softly and beautifully, but it made the prince shudder unconsciously, she was not mistaken, the woman in front of her was not only smart and good at planning, but also ruthless, Queen Pei made the first move, but she didn't kill her, but let her get back.

The prince forced himself to endure the unwillingness and shock in his heart, and said coldly: "It turns out that you are luring the snake out of the hole. ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "Miss Wang is polite, it's not early, I should go, let's see you another day!" By the way, the embroidery has been destroyed, I'm afraid that Miss Wang will be affected, so she will rush out and send it within half a month, don't work too hard. With that, Li Weiyang had already turned around and left. Wang Zijin looked at the other party's back and didn't say a word for a long time.

At this time, Queen Pei, who returned to the palace, was furious. The prince, who didn't know what was going on, greeted him, and asked, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

As soon as Queen Pei raised her hand, she actually slapped the prince fiercely, but the prince was defenseless, and was knocked to the ground by her for a while, which shows how hard Empress Pei is. The prince covered his face and looked at Empress Pei in surprise, but he didn't dare to tell the difference, and immediately knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, what's the matter with you, did your son make any mistakes?" ”

Empress Pei pointed at him, but her fingers were trembling, and she didn't say a word for a long time. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said, "Get out!" ”

The prince saw that Queen Pei was very angry and had fire in her eyes, and he didn't understand it more and more, and he said loudly: "I don't know what mistakes I made, so you have to give a letter to the queen mother." ”

Empress Pei pointed outward, and screamed in a complete gaffe: "You get out of here!" The prince was terrified, but he really had no choice but to hurriedly retreat one step at a time.

Empress Pei looked at his back, but sat down on her chair in a daze, and after a while, she said to the side, "Come out." ”

Ying Chu walked out from behind the curtain on the side, knelt on the ground, and Pei Hou said, "Did you hear everything?" ”

Ying Chu nodded and said, "Weichen is courageous, please forgive your sins." ”

Empress Pei closed her eyes, and her face showed an annoyance that she had never felt before: "This son really disappointed me so much, it's useless at all, it will only drag you back!" ”

Ying Chu looked at Empress Pei, and for the first time showed a look of surprise in her eyes, no matter at any time, Empress Pei was full of spirits and was in control, but today she looked particularly decadent, although her originally beautiful face was still moving, but it was extremely sad. At this time, the wind blew the wormhole on the beams of the palace, making a sound that was both like a sigh and a whimper, Pei Hou slowly opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "He really disappointed me, if it wasn't for him, why wouldn't he be like this?" How can that! ”

Ying Chu lowered his head deeply, there is no one in this world who has no weaknesses, Empress Pei's weakness is the prince, even if she doesn't care about this son, but everyone knows that the biggest bargaining chip that Empress Pei uses to compete for the throne is the prince, but no matter how she restrains the prince, this person will make mistakes after all! And these mistakes happened to be caught by the other party, Ying Chu sighed softly and said: "Please don't be too angry, there is always a chance." ”

Empress Pei's eyebrows condensed, looked at Ying Chu and said, "You take my handwritten book to see the Taifu, and invite him to enter the palace to ask to see His Majesty." Other than that...... Tell the Assassin to come out and confess. Ying Chu was taken aback, but he didn't dare to ask why, so he just answered and retreated.

At this moment, the sunlight outside the hall has broken through the clouds, but the hall is gloomy and cold. Empress Pei sat in the dim environment for a long time, and finally just sighed.

Early the next morning, the axle of the prisoner's cart rolled all the way to the execution ground. Countless people watched along the street, and even though the soldiers had been surrounding and not letting anyone in, many people still leaned out and craned their necks to watch. The teahouses and restaurants on both sides have long been booked, and all the dignitaries and nobles are also scrambling to stretch out most of their bodies, pointing condescendingly at the prisoner car, what they said is nothing more than how the Guo family did not measure themselves, first offended the Pei family, and then offended the Wang family, this time it was good, the son of the Guo family was beheaded...... In their mouths, the Wang family has become a pitiful victim, after all, they have lost two sons in a row, and they have suffered the pain of losing their sons early, and the general of Zhendong Wang Qiong heard that he has been ill, if His Majesty does not kill this murderer, I am afraid that the Wang family will have to go to the palace to seek justice. In fact, no one saw with their own eyes what happened in the other courtyard, but naturally some people quietly spread it among the people, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, one came and went, and almost everyone knew why Wang Guang was killed.

The people are the most ignorant, they have always been crowded, they saw that there was a murderer in the prisoner car, so they kept pointing at him, "pop", a rotten egg smashed into Guo Dun's face, and a rotten vegetable leaf also fell on his head, he blinked, the curvature of the corners of his mouth slowly pulled, but it was a deep self-deprecation.

At this time, although he was a wolf, he still did not get rid of the bearing of the Guo family. After the execution site, the prison beheader was the secretary of the criminal department, and he looked at this qiē lightly from the prison beheading table, and loudly ordered people to put a circle of white cloth around the execution ground, so as to prevent blood from spurting out and splashing on the people, causing unnecessary turmoil.

Guo Dun was pressed to his knees, the wooden sign behind him was taken away by the executioner, and his head was also pressed to the ground, and the executioner's high-raised knife reflected the sun's rays, stabbing him in the face.

Guo Dun felt remorse for the first time, it turned out that he was impulsive, and it would cause such an ending! The whistling blade was getting closer and closer to his neck, and the feeling of death turned out to be like this! The people pushed and shoved each other, scrambling to witness the sight of the killing.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice say loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, keep people under the knife!" Hearing these eight people, Guo Dun was taken aback, he raised his head and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, a blue-clothed eunuch held His Majesty's edict in his hand and broke into the execution ground. Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly accepted the order, and the executioners who were supposed to cut off his head also fell to their knees.

After listening to the emperor's will, everyone showed a shocked expression, Guo Dun was actually acquitted?! What kind of luck did he have to have such a good thing happen to him! A cool breeze blew, and Guo Dun only felt that he had walked around from the ghost gate.

Guo Dun's affairs have been turned into small things in this way, although many imperial historians and courtiers have just been impeached, but after the real murderer went to the criminal department to confess, these impeachments have no power. Yes, the real murderer has already appeared, and he has confessed his guilt, who can say that Guo Dun is a murderer?

Someone with a heart spread the news of the matter, but Guo Dun stepped into Guo's mansion with a ashamed face, and knelt down to Mrs. Guo head-on and said, "Mother, are they all sons?" ”

Mrs. Guo wiped away her tears and said repeatedly: "Get up, get up, my mother knows that you have been wronged." ”

Li Weiyang looked at it coldly from the side, but smiled faintly. Guo Cheng, who was next to him, patted Director Guo's shoulder and whispered: "My sister can obviously rescue the fourth brother earlier, why should he hold on until the last moment?" ”

Director Guo sneered and said, "This is to let him know the lesson!" ”

Guo Dun walked in front of Li Weiyang, and suddenly fell to his knees, with a very guilty face: "Thank you, sister, for saving your life......

Li Weiyang looked at him, but he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a calm tone: "Fourth brother, this time I saved you in front of my mother, if you cause trouble again next time, I can only burn more paper money for you." ”

Guo Dun was in a cold sweat rolling on his face, and he didn't dare to say again.

Li Weiyang smiled slightly, personally helped him up and said: "Get up, this time it will finally make the other party return in vain, but if you want to give them a fatal blow, we still need to plan well......
