In the side hall, the emperor paced back and forth in front of the imperial case with his hands behind his back, and the flickering candlelight cast his figure on the blue bricks, which looked very dark, as if a ghost was slowly fluttering. Gonggong Zhang lowered his head and was secretly worried in his heart, he didn't dare to speculate on the mind of the Son of Heaven, especially the one in front of him was not an ordinary difficult to serve. The Emperor finally stopped in front of the imperial case, and suddenly swept the secret letter on the table to the ground in anger, and said to himself: "They will not stop for a day!" ”

At this time, the little eunuch presented the emperor with a bowl of hot tea, and the emperor overturned it without thinking about it, and walked to the door of the palace, and the eunuch standing by the door hurriedly lifted the thick curtain. The unique breath of the cold night at night came to his face, and the emperor took a deep breath, and then he felt a little clearer.

Father-in-law Zhang hurriedly came forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's windy outside, please wear this big fashion." The Emperor crossed the threshold and said coldly, "No need, I'm going to see these fools." ”

On the ground in front of the side hall, the Guo family and the Wang family were kneeling there, separated on both sides, but they were distinct. The emperor sneered, stood on the steps condescendingly, and said, "You are really good at it, you dare to fight in the capital!" Okay, what do you think I'm going to do? ”

Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and pleaded guilty, and Qi Guogong said in fear: "It's all the ministers who are not strict, please condemn your majesty." ”

Wang Qiong said with a face full of shame: "The minister has failed to manage his son, Miss Guo was assassinated first, and the forbidden army will be assassinated later, if it weren't for Guo's command to come to the Wang family in person, I'm afraid I don't know that the rebel son did such a thing!" This is all my fault, please punish him heavily! ”

Guo Dun said loudly: "This is all a moment of recklessness on the part of Weichen, and it will cause a big disaster, and it has nothing to do with others, please don't blame others, if there is any guilt, Weichen is willing to bear it!" ”

The emperor stared at him coldly, with a smile in his eyes, and snorted: "You guys are obedient, and everyone is pleading." He shook his head, and said in his heart, if you weren't still useful, how could I allow you to do whatever you want in the capital, and you would have been dragged out and cut down a long time ago!

Qi Guogong and Wang Qiong glanced at each other, but they both lowered their heads, looking sincerely frightened, both of them are human spirits, how can they not understand that someone is secretly instigating the two families of Guo and Wang to fight to the death, but even so, they must be patient. Wang Qiong knew that the Guo family was actually not guilty in this matter, but Guo Dun killed his son Wang Yan after all. As far as Qi Guogong is concerned, Wang Yan first injured Guo Jia first, and then killed the general in the forbidden army, this kind of crime is really damned! It's just that he is hindered by a pair of masterminds behind the scenes who are promoting this qiē, but he can't directly seek justice from the Wang family. Both of them are in a very complicated mood at the moment, and they can't help but lament that their godson is not strict, so that the entire family has to bear such a reputation and sin!

A trace of coldness crossed Li Weiyang's heart, she knew very well that this situation was really caused by the emperor. If he hadn't married Princess Nankang to Wang Yan, why would he have gotten to this point? Empress Pei grasped this handle and forced the Guo family and the Wang family to come here step by step!

The only person with an expressionless face was Xu Wang Yuanlie, who looked at the emperor from a distance, but he didn't smile at all, without the slightest respect.

The emperor's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he said coldly: "You know that you have made a mistake, if this matter is recorded in the history books, even my face will be smeared by you!" The battle between the two families dared to use the forbidden army, and it caused a storm in the city, you can think of it! ”

Guo Dun lowered his head and said coldly again: "Your Majesty, Guo Dun is willing to bear this crime." ”

The emperor sneered and said, "Bear? Can you afford it? Do you know what kind of crime it is to privately mobilize the forbidden army without my order? ”

Guo Dun had already come to his senses, and gritted his teeth word by word: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Wang Yan's assassination of the minister's generals, Weichen would not have led the forbidden army to break into the Wang family." ”

The emperor sneered: "Now that you are taking the forbidden army to the royal house to vent your anger, are you going to break into the palace with the forbidden army to rebel another day?" ”

In the empty side hall, the emperor's voice floated around, and everyone couldn't help but shudder when they heard it. And when the Duke of Qi saw that the emperor's face was angry, he couldn't help but feel worried, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, it's all the fault of the micro-ministers, and the crimes of the micro-ministers deserve death!" He kowtowed three times as usual, completely ignoring the dignity and decency of being a grandfather of the country.

Wang Qiong looked at it coldly from the side, and couldn't help but admire Qi Guogong very much. In fact, today's matter has nothing to do with Qi Guogong at all, it is Guo Dun's people who surround the palace, Qi Guogong doesn't know about it at all, but for his son, he came here and desperately asked His Majesty for guilt, which undoubtedly means that the Guo family is used to protect Guo Dun. If you change yourself, I'm afraid that if you don't have such a determination, the first one will choose to sacrifice Wang Yan.

The emperor's gaze swept over their faces one by one, and there was an indescribable coldness in the depths of his eyes, and everyone knelt on the ground, quietly waiting for the emperor's fate.

Li Weiyang glanced at Yuan Lie's direction and smiled slightly. Yuan Lie opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is Wang Yan's fault first, and you can't blame Commander Guo for being alone. ”

Li Weiyang secretly praised that the timing of Yuan Lie's opening was just right, and the prince would definitely not be able to sit still. Sure enough, the prince endured it for a long time, but after all, he didn't hold back, and immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Father, Guo Dun disregarded the military order and used the forbidden army as a private outrage, and asked his father to remove him from his military position and judge him for the crime of rebellion!" ”

According to Empress Pei's instructions, he just went to summon Wang Yan into the palace and couldn't participate in anything, but he still couldn't bear it! Now that Yuan Lie has opened his mouth, it is difficult for his father to spare the Guo family, and he can't sit back and watch this happen!

Qi Guogong's heart is cold, the crime of rebellion? This is to ask the Guo family to fight with their lives? Who knew that the prince's words had not yet been finished: "Father, this time the Wang family was just confused, so they did not report this matter to His Majesty, so that it caused a tragedy, please ask my father to appease General Zhendong, you must know that at this time he is experiencing the pain of losing his son, and what Guo Dun has done has already violated the dignity of his father and the laws of the country!" ”

When the emperor heard this, he had a very clear position on the crown prince, and he asked the emperor to immediately punish Guo Dun and appease the Wang family. I only heard Yuan Lie say coldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong!" The crown prince raised his eyebrows and turned his head to stare at Yuan Lie, and said with a cold gaze: "King Xu, how come there is your shadow everywhere, do you still want to excuse the Guo family now?" ”

Yuan Lie smiled faintly and said calmly: "Just now, the prince kept saying that it was the Guo family's fault, but did you ever think that Wang Yan first committed the crime of disrespect for Princess Nankang, and then he deliberately assassinated Mrs. Guo and Miss Guo who went to visit Princess Nankang." Mrs. Guo has an edict on her, assassinating the wife of the court, Wang Yan herself has committed a serious crime! The Guo family didn't care about him, but he intensified his efforts to infiltrate the forbidden army and murder the general, this is by no means an ordinary petty crime, does the prince have to turn a blind eye to these? ”

The crown prince smiled coldly and said: "Before, there were rumors that my father wanted to invite Wang Yan to confront him, but now that everyone is dead, you still hold on to this!" said that Wang Yan humiliated Princess Nankang, who can testify? ”

The emperor looked at King Xu Yuanlie and said with a complicated expression: "What the prince said is very true, you said that Wang Yan humiliated the princess, is there any evidence?" ”

Li Weiyang's face sank, what does the emperor mean by this, does he want to help the prince? Or is it deliberately coercing Yuan Yeol? He knew that this matter could not be put on the table, humiliating the princess, the most important reason was because the princess was robbed on the wedding day, did she want Princess Nankang to admit in public that her husband disliked her for being unclean, so he humiliated her in every way?

I only heard that outside the square, a woman in palace clothes suddenly said loudly: "I am the princess of the royal family, I want to go in and ask my father for peace, who dares to stop me!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, but they saw Princess Nankang walking in quickly with two palace maids by her side. The emperor's face sank, and his eyes were cold and said, "Nankang, how did you get here?" ”

There were forbidden guards along the way, but Princess Nankang actually broke in, Nankang looked at his father, and there was inexplicable resentment in his eyes. She said in a cold tone: "I heard that the Guo family entered the palace to ask for guilt, so I came to greet my father, although there were people blocking me along the way, but no one dared to embarrass me, all because of this one thing." As he spoke, Nankang had already taken out the dagger that had been hidden in his sleeve.

The emperor looked at Princess Nankang, and saw that this daughter's usually delicate and innocent face suddenly added a bit of royal prestige, and that look of seeing death as home, had already told everyone that she was just using the cold dagger in her sleeve to ask everyone to let her in, no wonder no one dared to stop her, after all, those people outside were just guards, who dared to really let Princess Nankang commit suicide on the spot?

The emperor looked at her as if he had met her for the first time, and said, "Nankang, what is the matter with you wanting to see me?" ”

Li Weiyang looked at Princess Nankang and sighed softly, he sent someone to inform Nankang about this matter, and told her what she should say and do, and now she is really here.

Princess Nankang threw away her dagger and walked towards the emperor, and the guards behind her followed tremblingly, seeing that the emperor was displeased, as if she wanted to stop her, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Let her come over." ”

The prince's face changed, and his brows furrowed tightly: "Nankang, what are you doing, aren't you in bad health?" Why don't you take a good rest and come here to make trouble, don't you want the slightest princess's reserve! ”

Nan Kang didn't look at him at all, but said loudly: "Father, the son has something to do." ”

The emperor's heart moved, and he said lightly: "Say it." ”

Nan Kang glanced at Wang Qiong, and finally made up his mind and said: "I didn't want to say this matter in front of so many people, but now that my father wants to know, I will say it all, the most important reason why Wang Yan is disrespectful to me is that I was robbed for no reason on the day of my wedding, and he used this as an excuse to humiliate my reputation, saying that I am not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of his Wang family, and even less worthy of being his Wang Yan's wife!" Not only that, but he also tried to put me under house arrest to prevent me from contacting the palace and the Guo family again. Mrs. Guo and Miss Guo came to visit me, in fact, it was all a scene performed by Wang Yan, he sent someone to secretly send them a letter, asking them for help in my name, Mrs. Guo didn't know why she rushed to Wang's house, but she didn't expect that Wang Yan had set up a bureau and deliberately wanted to murder Miss Guo to vent her personal anger! ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Li Weiyang condescendingly, and said, "Private anger, what kind of private anger?" ”

The smile on Nan Kang's lips was even colder: "This private anger is that Wang Yan intends to replace my identity as the princess's wife with a concubine, and I don't agree, so he sent the concubine to live in the main house and expelled me." Miss Guo couldn't see it and said a few words for me, Wang Yan was very angry, and during the dispute, he was injured by the guards beside Miss Guo, this is his own inferior skills, and it is also his punishment for doing it to a woman for no reason! But he was resentful, and took this opportunity to deliberately want revenge! If it weren't for Miss Guo's fate, she would have died now. Also, please punish Nankang from my father! ”

The emperor had never seen the timid Princess Nankang say so much in front of him, and said, "Punish you, why?" He couldn't help but wonder who taught her these words, and the Wang family's face was as pale as dirt.

Nan Kang's voice became more and more cold, and she said word by word: "Please ask my father to punish Nan Kang for not being smart enough, I should have thought that my father would marry me to Wang Yan, not for the sake of my life, but for another purpose, maybe my father is tired of seeing Nan Kang's daughter, so he wants to give me to Wang Yan in every possible way, so as to provoke him to humiliate me and humiliate the royal family!" ”

The emperor's face changed, and he said angrily: "Nankang, do you know what you are talking about? ”

The prince hurriedly said, "Nankang, how can you say such a thing? Of course, the emperor is thinking about you! ”

Princess Nankang's face did not change, but her voice was mocking: "Father, there is no way for the son, please forgive the son-in-law for being rude!" But even if Nan Kang did something wrong, even if his royal family looked down on me, wouldn't Nan Kang be a royal princess? If I am not favored by my father, can they humiliate the dignity of my royal family at will? ”

The emperor's face was cloudy, he didn't like Princess Nankang, but this didn't mean that anyone could climb on the head of the royal princess and spread wild! Because Nankang's identity represents not only herself, she represents the entire royal family. Originally, he didn't care, he didn't care at all, but when Nankang exposed a qiē in front of everyone, if he still turned a deaf ear, he would only be secretly ridiculed for the weakness of the royal family. When did Nan Kang become so strong, and his words seemed reckless but not leaky, and he actually poked the emperor's sore spot! Persecute him! In an instant, he had already made up his mind in his heart, turned his head to look at the Wang family, and said with a cold gaze: "Wang Qiong, I handed over my daughter to your Wang family, what did you do?" Are you dissatisfied with my will, so you deliberately humiliate the princess? ”

Wang Qiong's face was pale, he kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being rude, this is all Weichen's sin, I should have reported this matter to His Majesty a long time ago to know, Princess Nankang didn't do anything wrong, it's all the fault of the dog!" It's just that now that he is dead, please forgive the Wang family's disrespectful sin for the sake of the old minister. ”

The emperor sneered and said, "Is it possible to be a hundred if you die?" Humiliating the dignity of the royal family, even if he dies, he will not be able to escape the blame! As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed the eunuch: "Whip Wang Yan's corpse three hundred times to set an example!" ”

If you die, you have to whip the corpse, the emperor is really interesting. Li Weiyang sneered in his heart, a trace of disapproval flashed in his eyes, but his face became more and more deferential. The emperor suddenly saw her, and said with a faint smile: "Miss Guo, I wonder if you are still satisfied with my disposition?" ”

Li Weiyang stood up, and Ying Ying made a salute and said: "The qiē done by His Majesty is naturally sage, and Guo Jia will never dare to complain!" ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows coldly and said, "Don't dare? I see that you seem to be quite dissatisfied, and since you have something to say, you might as well speak up. ”

Li Weiyang said with a gentle expression: "Your Majesty, my brother did commit a big crime, after all, the two families of King Guo are just personal grudges, he should not use the forbidden army, but my injury was yesterday's thing, if he is really because of me, because of the personal grudge of the two families of King Guo, he can do it yesterday, why bother another day?" He is just a momentary brotherly anger who wants to seek justice for the victims! His Majesty is generous and benevolent, and he has always admired brave generals, of course, he will not be too harsh on a general who loves his subordinates, otherwise it will completely chill the hearts of the soldiers! Who will be willing to risk their lives to defend this great mountain and river in the future? ”

When the emperor heard this, he saw that Li Weiyang was clearly provoking him, and he couldn't help but be angry and almost vomited blood, but he could only endure it, and sighed and said: "In this case, the Duke of Qi will be fined for one year, and Wang Qiongguan, the general of Zhendong, will be demoted by one level, and he will still temporarily take the position of general, in order to make meritorious contributions." Guo Dun is young and ignorant, and he acts impulsively, don't do this commander anymore, go back and think about it behind closed doors! ”

The crown prince was shocked, he never expected it to be so lightly, and hurriedly said: "How can my father deal with it so gently?" Wouldn't everyone be lawless in this way?! ”

The emperor looked at the prince coldly, and the prince suddenly felt a pang in his heart, he suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake just now, if he upheld a fair attitude and kept silent, his father would probably still punish the Guo family and the Wang family severely, but now the emperor's eyes clearly mean that this qiē was deliberately provoked by you, thinking that I would not be able to do it?

The crown prince subconsciously took a step back, bowed down and said, "Father is wise, and the sons will never dare to question your decision." The emperor withdrew his gaze and saw the crowd coldly: "As for the forbidden troops involved in this matter, each of them will go back and receive fifty rods." ”

Everyone thanked the emperor one after another, but the Duke of Qi and the general of Zhendong, Wang Qiong, were all relieved.

When they came out of the palace, they saw King Jing hurrying up. When Qi Guogong saw him, he told him what had just happened, King Jing was originally anxious, and when he saw that His Majesty's staff was just raised and lowered gently, he sighed and said: "Fortunately, my father didn't blame you too much for this, otherwise the entire Guo family would suffer." Then he glanced at Guo Dun coldly and said, "You have done too reckless in this matter!" ”

Guo Dun had another opinion, Wang Yan injured his sister and killed his generals, if he was indifferent, he would no longer be able to lead the forbidden army. The eldest husband does something and does not do something, and there are some things that he knows are wrong, and he must also bear it! Just now, he had already thought that if His Majesty wanted to blame the Guo family, he would commit suicide first, in order to keep the rest of the Guo family safe, and this was a precedent to follow, and with his father's reputation, he would not be overly reprimanded at that time.

Li Weiyang was at the end, but he suddenly heard Wang Zijin, who had not made a sound just now, call him up, and Wang Zijin greeted him and whispered with a pale face: "Miss Guo, I have something to say." ”

Li Weiyang stopped his steps and turned his head, but Yuan Lie stood in front of Wang Zijin and said, "Miss Wang, please go back." ”

The prince didn't look at Yuan Lie, but just looked at Li Weiyang, a trace of anxiety flashed in his beautiful eyes, and Li Weiyang said softly: "I'm fine, you let us make it clear." ”

Yuan Lie saw Li Weiyang's eyes passing a determined expression, he couldn't help frowning slightly, sighed and said, "I'm right next to me, if something calls me." As he spoke, he had already stepped aside, and Li Weiyang looked at Wang Zijin with a slight expression: "Miss Wang, what do you have to say to me?" ”

Wang Zijin gritted his teeth and said: "So far, I really don't have anything to say, but since my third brother is dead, should the rift between the two Guo and Wang families be deepened?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said, "It depends on Miss Wang, how you handle this matter." ”

The prince was stunned when he heard this, and almost couldn't wake up: "What do you mean?" ”

Li Weiyang's eyes were sharp, but his words were gentle: "Although we all understand that someone has done something to provoke the Guo and Wang families, but the matter is by no means so simple, I am afraid that the fundamental purpose of the other party is not this!" I advise Miss Wang, the top priority is to deal with the outer room next to your third brother, she will not be able to escape these things, think about the Qingshuang sword on the general's body, and then think about your third brother's abnormal actions, although he is wrong, but the person who connived at him and instigated him is extremely evil! ”

Wang Zijin was completely stunned when she heard this, and she said hesitantly: "Do you suspect that woman......"

Li Weiyang smiled coldly and said: "This has nothing to do with me, it depends on what you want to do with Miss Wang, this is related to the lifeblood of your Wang family." After saying that, Li Weiyang ignored it anymore and turned to leave.

Wang Zijin looked at her back, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, in fact, this time it was obviously Guo Dun who caused a big disaster, why did everyone blame him in the end? This Guo Jia is really a good skill, what Princess Nankang said is like a knife, hidden mysteries, it must be taught by her! The Wang family lost a son, and in the end he was reprimanded by the emperor, and his father was demoted by one level, which is really popular! All the way back to the palace angrily, she refused Wang Qiong's concern, turned around and took the guards to Wang Yan's residence in person. At this time, the concubine had already left the Wang family, and the building was empty, Wang Zijin saw this, thinking of what Li Weiyang said in the evening, she sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, sighed and said: "She is right, it seems that in terms of recognizing people's hearts, I am not inferior to her, but beyond reach!" When she said this, tears were rolling down, and the maidservant next to her saw this, and hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, and said, "Miss, don't worry too much. ”

Wang Zijin was full of worry and said: "This matter is all my fault, if I can detect the other party's conspiracy as soon as possible and restrain the third brother's actions, I will not let him die miserably, this is all my fault!" As she spoke, tears poured down her face.

At this time, Li Weiyang had just entered the door, and he saw Guo Cheng hurrying up, and said in a low voice: "Jia'er, I have already caught the woman you said!" ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "Take her to the study." ”

When Green Waist heard about what happened in the front yard today, she immediately took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, and she packed up her soft and left the Wang family. But I didn't expect to be caught just out the back door. At this time, seeing that everyone in the study was solemn and her eyes were cold, she couldn't help but shudder, knelt down on the ground and said, "Everyone, I'm just a weak woman, why do you bother me?" ”

Li Weiyang looked at the young and beautiful woman in front of him, and said with a smile: "I heard that the green-waisted girl is very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is very gentle and beautiful, but I don't know who you are working for?" ”

The green waist was startled, and even called out for wrongdoing, arguing: "I don't know what you're talking about this young lady?" ”

Li Weiyang's expression was indifferent: "The queen mother sent you to the Wang family to let you lurk beside Wang Yan, one is to provoke the relationship between him and Princess Nankang, and the other is to do things in his diet, so that all his words and deeds are controlled by you, isn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Green Waist's face turned even paler, and she hurriedly said, "Miss really thinks too much, I'm just a weak woman, how can I do so many things?" ”

Director Guo smiled slightly: "You don't have to pretend anymore!" If it weren't for your hands, how would that sword be stolen out of the house? ”

Green Waist said sharply: "This has nothing to do with me!" I didn't even know what was going on, maybe Wang Yan himself inadvertently lost the sword? ”

Guo Cheng said indifferently: "Those two swords are Wang Yan's beloved things, and they are always carried with them, if they are not close to them, there is no way to steal them, and the Wang family has always been extremely strict, and ordinary people can't follow them." You are the only one, you are an outsider, and because you are pregnant, the Wang family always has three points of tolerance for you, you just used this to eliminate their vigilance, repeatedly sow discord, fan the flames, and even stole Wang Yan's long sword, and blamed Wang Yan for the murder, which is really the most poisonous woman's heart! ”

When Guo Dun heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "Third brother, what did you just say?" ”

Guo Cheng smiled mockingly: "Could it be that you have been killing in the palace for a long time, and you don't even know the real murderer?" ”

Guo Dun looked at the green waist, shook his head and said, "It turns out that I fell for someone else!" He slapped his thigh hard, clearly annoyed.

Li Weiyang glanced at him lightly, but said with a slight smile: "Fourth brother don't worry, this matter will be done, if I are you, it will definitely be difficult to endure this turbidity, and I will always seek revenge on him!" ”

Guo Dun was taken aback, in his impression, this sister of his was a strategist, thoughtful person, she had always disagreed with his own opinions, why didn't she blame herself this time? Seeing Guo Dun's expression so surprised, Li Weiyang's smile deepened, and she said: "The other party dug a trap for us, if we have been standing motionless on the edge of the well, people will naturally not do it lightly, only if we step in first, let them think that they have been hooked, and then there will be the next move!" ”

Hearing Li Weiyang say this, the other people in the room all changed, especially the green waist, her heart trembled, and she kowtowed: "Miss, I really don't know what you're talking about, I'm just a weak woman, and I've never had any ambitions, please let me go!" ”

A bright arc of light flashed in Li Weiyang's eyes: "Being able to approach Wang Yan and have a way to control him, it can be seen that you have good means, keep you for the time being, it will come in handy in the future!" ”

Hearing this, Green Waist showed horror on his face, Li Weiyang waved his hand, and someone immediately took her down.

Yuan Lie's expression moved, and he said in a low voice: "Jia'er, did you know about today's incident early in the morning?" ”

The candlelight shone on Li Weiyang's white face, and there was a layer of red light flowing like water waves in the center of her eyebrows: "What the prince did is really a joke, today is just a small fight, if the Guo family really wants to rebel, the forbidden army should go to surround the palace instead of breaking into the private house, so of course the emperor will not blame the Guo family for rebellion." ”

Yuan Lie pondered: "That's true, the crime of rebellion can't be deducted, but it is also a crime to embezzle the forbidden army without permission. ”

Li Weiyang lowered his head and looked at his slender fingers, smiling: "We have to be grateful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for this." If he didn't come forward today, the Guo family wouldn't be so easy to get away with. The more he jumped up and down, the more the emperor would suspect the motive behind it, so as soon as he opened his mouth, I knew that the Guo family would be fine. ”

Guo Cheng was surprised and said, "Jia'er, you really know the thoughts of the prince and His Majesty very clearly. ”

Li Weiyang sighed lightly and said: "People's hearts are complex and changeable, even though I understand their minds, but I can't understand what the queen is thinking. ”

Director Guo looked at Li Weiyang's expression, but said with a faint smile: "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, we can't hide, so we have to wait quietly." ”

While the Guo family was discussing, the crown prince angrily broke into the queen's palace, and at this time Ying Chu was sitting there playing the piano, his piano sound was like water, not stained with dust. Empress Pei sat quietly on the side, holding a wine glass in her hand, looking thoughtful. The crown prince couldn't help but be angry, and said loudly: "Queen Mother, you still have the heart to listen to the piano here, do you know what happened outside?" ”

Ying Chu hurriedly stood up and raised his voice: "Please say hello to Your Highness." ”

The prince didn't even look at him, he had always been a little disgusted with this eunuch, not to mention that he always faintly felt that this person's eyes on his mother were so unusual, and Empress Pei had been conniving at the other party!

Queen Pei said lightly: "Don't stop, keep playing." ”

Ying Chu glanced at the prince, said no more, sat down again, and played gently, the prince said angrily: "Stop!" I'll tell you to stop! ”

Ying Chu didn't pause, he only listened to Empress Pei's orders all his life, and as for others, even if it was the emperor, he would not obey! The prince was furious, rushed forward, snatched Yingchu's piano, and threw it heavily on the ground, and the piano suddenly made a terrible sound, and immediately fell in half. Empress Pei's face turned cold, and she said with a slight coldness in her eyes: "What are you crazy about!" ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, then turned his head abruptly and said: "Queen Mother, today I could have wiped out the Guo family and punished them for a crime of rebellion, but I finally got the news and rushed over to escort them into the palace, but I was let go by my father, do you think he deliberately favored the Guo family?" ”

Empress Pei smiled faintly, but there was a hint of disdain in her smile, she looked at the prince and said, "I have taught you for so many years, but you haven't grown up yet!" I have already told you not to act rashly without my orders, but you are self-righteous! There are too many smart people in this world, and the major families have already heard the rumors, but why haven't anyone moved? Including King Jing and King Qin, they all closed their doors, as if they didn't know anything, just jumping up and down there, for fear that others wouldn't know that we were planning it behind our backs? ”

The prince said coldly: "If you don't do anything, you will watch the Guo and Wang families escape!" ”

Empress Pei's eyes were lit by candles, and her voice became colder and colder: "If you don't do anything today, the Guo family will definitely be punished!" I've already arranged for people to make things bigger, but you just broke in and ruined my whole plan, and you're embarrassed to come here and shout? ”

The prince was stunned, but he heard Ying Chu say lightly: "Your Royal Highness the prince, you are really too anxious this time!" Niangniang had already arranged a qiē, Guo Dun's rush into the palace was just a trivial matter, His Majesty would not take it to heart, even if he privately transferred the forbidden army, but those forbidden troops were only five hundred people, and it was absolutely impossible to charge the entire Guo family with rebellion, unless the Guo family completely lost the sacred heart. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Prince, your move makes Niangniang's next move not be carried lightly, otherwise it will only let everyone know that this qiē is planned by Niangniang. ”

The prince disagreed, and said angrily: "In that case, why didn't you sue me earlier? ”

Pei Hou looked at the other party coldly: "Sue sù you, what did you not mess up?" What right do you have to know? ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, looking at his queen mother, but the expression on the other party's beautiful face was disappointed. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Queen Mother, it's all the sons who are not good, and the sons know that they are wrong!" ”

Empress Pei's face was very cold, but a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and her voice became vicious: "If you don't speak casually today, tomorrow the Zhou family and the imperial historians will have an excerpt, saying that Guo Dun does not abide by the military order and privately transfers the forbidden army, please treat him for a crime." When the time comes, those forbidden troops will not accept this verdict, and naturally there will be people who will instigate them, and as long as there is a little mutiny, the nature of the matter will be completely different! There is no need for us to speak, the entire Guo family will be implicated, but you just broke out first, so that the whole game of chess was disrupted! You say, can these things be sued to you? You can't do anything, no wonder your position as a prince is unstable! Don't blame others for being ruthless, it's just that you don't have a brain! ”

The prince lowered his head, he was not unintelligent, but in front of Empress Pei, any smart person had nothing to do, he was completely suppressed by the brilliance of his mother, and he couldn't show his talent at all. Because of this, he became more and more anxious, he was unwilling to be controlled by Queen Pei, but he couldn't achieve anything without Empress Pei's wings, which was the contradiction between the prince. He wanted to do something to let Empress Pei know that he was not so incompetent, but the more he wanted to prove himself, the more the final result disappointed Queen Pei, and now it seems that in Empress Pei's heart, his status is even inferior to the eunuch in front of him!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Ying Chu angrily, thinking that he must have come up with this strategy for Empress Pei, this person is not only very cunning, but also scheming, Empress Pei relies on him very much, and he has no place to stand in front of Empress Pei, thinking of this, he just lowered his head more deeply, covering the unwillingness and hatred in his eyes.

Empress Pei said coldly: "Okay, you get out!" If you do something stupid like this next time, don't blame me for not sparing you! ”

The prince bowed in response, and then retreated. When the prince left, the more Empress Pei thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and single-handedly overturned the small table next to her, and several precious fine porcelain wine utensils fell to the ground and shattered: "Such a son, how can I expect him?" It's a shame for me! ”

Ying Chu lowered her head and said nothing, and Queen Pei said angrily: "Why don't you even speak, do you also think that you have done something wrong today?" ”

Ying Chu glanced at Pei Hou and said with a smile: "The original plan is indeed correct, as long as Guo Dun takes five hundred guards out, and then orders someone to instigate the remaining two thousand forbidden troops, you must know that the commander of the two thousand forbidden army and Guo Dun are very friendly, as long as they take action, we can kill the entire Guo family, two thousand people and five hundred people are two concepts!" And because the Zhou family can benefit from it, they will also sit back and watch the situation expand......"

First Guo Dun went to the Wang family to make trouble, and then Wang Yan was killed, originally Queen Pei also arranged people to kill Wang Guang and Wang Ji while the chaos was in chaos, it was best to drag the prince into the water together, and then Guo Dun's crime would be big, the time was right, instigated the Zhou family to write a chapter, and then those imperial histories fanned the flames and accused Guo Yan of a crime, and the emperor would definitely punish him heavily! However, because of the death of that general, Guo Dun will break into the palace, as long as there is a little provocation, and then the Zhou family beats the side drum from it, it must not be difficult to instigate another two thousand forbidden troops, as long as they gather around the palace gate to plead for Guo Dun, Empress Pei will be able to turn the team of pleading guilty into a team to force the palace, and the Guo family will not be certain to die at that time? But every qiē was ruined by the prince, because this stupid thing talked nonsense and didn't know where he standed! Empress Pei was naturally annoyed, she suddenly stood up, took a few quick steps, and her anger slowly subsided, and she turned to Ying Chu and said, "What do you think of my victory or defeat?" ”

"Niang Niang Mingjian, Qi Guogong is the first general in Yuexi, if you say that you are loyal and brave, no one can stand out, but if you say that you have a head, he is not enough!"

"Humph!" The queen sneered: "I'm not talking about Qi Guogong, I'm talking about Li Weiyang, you should know that she is not the young lady of Guo Mansion, but just an impostor." ”

Ying Chu sighed and said: "Niangniang is strategizing, then Li Weiyang will definitely not be able to escape this catastrophe!" ”

Empress Pei glanced at him coldly and said, "Why are you so good at talking?" If Li Weiyang is punished this time, I will be happier. As she spoke, she lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, "Maybe you are right, but I am indeed in a hurry in this matter. Don't worry, we'll see! ”

Ying Chu lowered his head and said with a slight smile: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

Queen Pei smiled, although that face was beautiful, the years still dyed delicate laugh lines at the corners of her eyes, when she showed such a smile, this face was a little hideous, like a peony flower that was graceful to the extreme.

Soon after the discussion, Guo Dun was called away by Qi Guogong. When Li Weiyang came out of the study and saw that Guo Dun had been kneeling outside Qi Guogong's study for a long time, she smiled faintly and stepped forward and said, "Fourth brother, are you still kneeling?" ”

Guo Dun glanced at Li Weiyang, but he didn't dare to raise his head, Li Weiyang glanced at the candlelight in the study, and naturally understood why Guo Dun was so panicked, she smiled and said: "Fourth brother After this incident, he should know that he should be more careful in doing things in the future!" ”

Guo Dun thought to himself, aren't you sick, why don't you go to rest and come to taunt me!

Li Weiyang looked at him with anger in his eyes, and couldn't help but say lightly: "If we hadn't arrived in time today, I'm afraid things would have made a bigger fuss, if someone took the opportunity to assassinate Wang Qiong or the Wang brothers, what would you do?" ”

Guo Dun was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Li Weiyang, but he didn't know what she was talking about, although Li Weiyang had already pointed him out in the study just now, but he didn't really realize how strict this matter was, but he heard Li Weiyang continue, "You killed Wang Yan can be said to be avenging your subordinates, but if you kill General Zhendong or other people in the palace, it will hurt the innocent, and when the time comes, you will lose your own life, not to mention, and it will affect the Guo family." ”

Guo Dun gritted his teeth and said, "It's a big deal, I'll apologize with death!" ”

Li Weiyang shook his head lightly and said, "The problem that death can solve in this world is not a problem!" You are just a fuse, someone wants to use you to burn the entire Guo family, but you don't know it yet! ”

Guo Dun looked at Li Weiyang and said in a low voice: "Sister, I am indeed not as smart as you, but if things happen again, I will still do it!" As early as when you were injured, I wanted to kill Wang Yan privately, and then he killed my general, I had to do it! ”

Li Weiyang looked at Guo Dun and sighed softly, she could understand Guo Dun's mood, in her heart, Wang Yan also had to die, and no matter if he hurt himself, just say that Wang Yan is so arrogant, he will definitely get into trouble in the future, and such a person can't keep him. Although they weighed Queen Pei's intentions, they didn't have any excessive losses.

Li Weiyang glanced at the sky and instructed Zhao Yue: "Get an umbrella for the fourth brother, I think it's going to rain soon, I'm afraid it's going to be unbearable!" ”

Guo Dun gritted his teeth and said, "On weekdays, the third brother and the fifth brother will kneel with me. ”

Li Weiyang glanced at him, and suddenly laughed, but this smile was a little relieved, she said lightly: "Yes, usually the two of them kneel with you, but today is lonely, right?" But they didn't make a mistake this time, and their father had to reward them for their agile reactions, so fourth brother, you can kneel alone! I'm going to go back and rest first, and who told me that I'm still seriously wounded? ”

As she said this, she had already turned around and left, Guo Dun looked at Li Weiyang's back, but she became more and more confused, wasn't she injured? Although the imperial doctor said that it was just a flesh injury, it shouldn't be good if she didn't lie down for ten days and half a month, how could she be so vibrant, or did this sister have other plans......
