Mrs. Guo was going to enter the palace to see Concubine Guo Hui on the second day, Li Weiyang went with her, Princess Chen Liu originally insisted on going, but her rheumatism was committed again, and she couldn't get up from bed, Mrs. Guo repeatedly comforted, and assured that Concubine Guo Hui did not have any major incidents, and Princess Chen Liu then rested the happy life of the mind and ability of the same go.

The carriage of the Guo family entered the palace early in the morning, because the palace where she lived was on fire, Concubine Guo Hui had to temporarily move to Huicheng Palace. After tedious inspections and reports, when Li Weiyang and the others arrived, Concubine Guo Hui was reclining on the bed, and the female officer Liang beside her was feeding her medicine. ”

Mrs. Guo hurriedly stepped up to meet her, and after a careful inspection, she saw that Concubine Guo Hui was not in any major problem except for her pale face, so she calmed down and asked Lady Liang, "Has the imperial doctor ever come to take a look?" ”

Lady Liang bowed down and said: "Yes, the imperial doctor has asked for the pulse of Concubine Hui, he said that Niangniang just choked on some cigarettes, so she fainted, as long as she recuperates well, it will not be in the way, please rest assured." ”

Mrs. Guo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and looked at Concubine Guo Hui gently, "Do you feel better now?" ”

The palace maid next to her hurriedly brought an embroidered stool for Concubine Guo and Li Weiyang to sit, Concubine Guo's eyes fell on Mrs. Guo's gentle face, stretched out her hand to hold the other party's hand, and tears flashed in her eyes: "I almost thought I would never see you again, sister-in-law." ”

Mrs. Guo also settled down, nodded and said, "We all understand that you are really wronged!" This happened so suddenly, the princess originally wanted to come into the palace to see you, but ......"

Concubine Guo Hui was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "No! I can't let my mother know about this. ”

Li Weiyang was keenly aware of something from Concubine Guo Huifei's words, she and Mrs. Guo glanced at each other, Mrs. Guo hesitated for a moment, and took the lead in speaking: "This fire is ......."

A trace of imperceptible uneasiness flashed in Concubine Guo Huifei's eyes, and before she could speak, she heard a voice next to her, which clearly contained twelve points of anger: "Mother, why didn't you tell Mrs. Sù that the fire yesterday was deliberately done by someone, and it was not a water drain at all!" ”

Li Weiyang turned his head and saw a delicate figure walking briskly from the outer hall, dressed in a light purple skirt, big eyes, delicate and cute, it was Princess Nankang who had not been seen for a long time.

Princess Nankang forcibly suppressed the anger in her eyes, walked in front of Mrs. Guo indignantly, and first performed the etiquette of the younger generation to meet the elders, and then said: "Madam, you don't know, this matter has been investigated by King Jing, and someone is deliberately making trouble." ”

When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she immediately frowned and said, "Nankang! Don't talk nonsense! ”

Nan Kang gritted his teeth and looked at Concubine Guo Hui, the tears in his eyes kept rolling: "Mother, at this time, do you still want to hide it from Mrs. and Sister Jia'er?" You once said that you have nothing to rely on in the palace, and the only family member is the Guo family, why don't you tell the truth in front of your family? ”

Li Weiyang looked at Princess Nankang and sighed lightly in his heart: "We understand very well what Her Royal Highness the princess means, the palace is heavily guarded, not to mention that there are so many palace maids and eunuchs coming and going, how can the fire develop so big without anyone noticing?" So yesterday's fire was certainly not an accident. ”

Seeing that the other party had the same opinion as herself, Princess Nankang grabbed Li Weiyang's hand, her voice was extremely resentful, but she had to whisper: "Sister Jia'er, the mother concubine also knew that it was not an accident, but she refused to let me mention it to my father, you can help me persuade her, if you let those people do anything wrong, one day this situation will happen again!" ”

Li Weiyang's eyes looked at Concubine Guo Hui, the other party refused to reveal these things, the most important reason must be that there is no evidence, dare to set fire to the palace, have such courage, and the people behind it are also about to come out.

"Lady Liang, put the medicine here! You go out to see the other palace maids and eunuchs, and tell them to stand guard outside the door, and no one is allowed to come in without the instructions of the palace. Concubine Guo Hui waved her hand, and Lady Liang withdrew when she heard the sound, but walked to the door, and for some reason her footsteps paused for a moment, and then left quickly.

Seeing Concubine Guo Hui being bullied like this, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but feel sad, but Concubine Guo Hui's expression was so calm, she said lightly: "I have been in the palace for many years, and this kind of thing has not happened once or twice, but the other party has never done it so blatantly, she did this just to warn me and warn the Guo family, if I am afraid or crying, what good will it do to the Guo family, and what good will it do to me?" It will only make others think that I was frightened by this fire, lost the demeanor of Concubine Hui, suspicious, and added jokes. So Nankang, don't forget what your mother told you, just say these words in front of my sister-in-law and Jia'er, if there is a little rumor about this matter, I will never spare you. ”

Princess Nankang couldn't help but raise her head to meet her gaze, Concubine Guo Hui's eyes were black and white, and she couldn't see the slightest fluctuation in her feelings, as if she didn't have any impact because of this fire at all. Nan Kang was only sixteen years old after all, and he couldn't help but say, "Mother, is this matter just like that?" ”

Seeing her so persistent, Concubine Guo Hui was moved by her sincere concern, but she also shook her head: "What if you don't count?" Do you think that this palace is the world of the Guo family, and let me arrest the murderer with great fanfare? You have lived in the palace for so many years, you should be sensible, the more you have to keep a low profile at such times, otherwise you will change from a victim to a misplotter, a rumor-monger, and the people who originally sympathized with you will also doubt your intentions, which happened to fall into the other party's treacherous plan Emperor Han Xian's new biography Read the full text. ”

Nan Kang was stunned for a moment, looking at Concubine Guo Hui almost dumbfounded, Li Weiyang shook his head gently, Concubine Guo Hui has been protecting Princess Nankang for so many years, although the last time she passed through the matter of Princess Daimyo, Nan Kang understood some unpredictable truths, but after all, she is just a simple-minded girl, and she can't help but feel sad when she hears these words at this moment.

Concubine Guo Hui's side face is gentle and beautiful, and her skin is as bright as a pearl, and even Li Weiyang has to sigh that her demeanor is graceful and her temperament is elegant. In fact, Concubine Hui is only forty years old this year, and she is very well maintained, and she looks no more than thirty at most, but what can she do with such beauty? There is no one who treats each other in this palace at all, she can only rely on herself step by step to gain a firm foothold, even though she now has a son and a maiden family to rely on, but it is still easy to be plotted by others. The so-called prevention is unpredictable, and people's hearts are unpredictable, and that's it!

Li Weiyang was silent for a moment, and sighed softly: "Niangniang, please forgive Jia'er for talking too much, wanting to set fire in the palace is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, even if the external cause of Niangniang can be ignored, but the internal trouble must be cleaned up, otherwise such a thing will happen again." In her opinion, this fire must be a combination of inside and outside.

Concubine Guo Hui was stunned for a moment, raised her head to look at Li Weiyang, and there was a hint of surprise in her expression: "You mean, is there a mole in this palace?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said, "Niangniang, if no one answers, how can the other party set fire to your palace so easily?" His Royal Highness King Jing obviously arranged manpower protection outside the palace, why didn't anyone have time to help when the incident happened, naturally it was a deployment that had already been leaked out. ”

Concubine Guo Hui actually kept doubting, but she really couldn't bear it, and there was inevitably a three-point drop in her expression: "Yes, I just can't believe it, these people have been with me for many years, will even they betray me?" ”

Princess Nankang blinked, with a puzzled look on her face: "Mother, if there is really a traitor, then who will it be?" ”

Li Weiyang's eyes were faint, his voice was a little casual, and he looked at the other party and said, "Princess Nankang, apart from Niangniang, who can drive the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace?" ”

Princess Nankang's heart jumped, and she subconsciously said, "Could it be Lady Liang?" She is the only one in this palace who can enter and exit freely, and can drive others. As soon as she finished saying this, she immediately turned her head to look at Concubine Guo Hui uneasily, and Concubine Guo Hui's expression was a little stunned.

Princess Nankang suspected Lady Liang for the first time, she thought that Lady Liang hurried over after the accident, her expression was strange, and she cared not about whether Niangniang could wake up, but how many people in the palace survived......

Mrs. Guo felt that it was impossible, and said: "Jia'er, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, Lady Liang is your aunt's maidservant at the beginning, they have more than ten years of affection, if it is said that someone else betrayed Niangniang, I can still believe it, but if even Female Officer Liang betrayed Niangniang, it is really hard for me to believe." ”

Li Weiyang's expression is very indifferent, for Concubine Guo Hui, Lady Liang has been with her for many years, and she can be said to be her confidant, she believes in the other party very much, and it is normal for her to refuse to doubt the other party. Just like one day, if someone sues her that Zhao Yue beside her betrayed her, it will be difficult for her to trust, but it is impossible for ordinary palace maids and eunuchs to come and go freely in Concubine Hui's palace, and it is even more impossible to have the opportunity to do anything casually. So Li Weiyang just asked lightly: "Niangniang, who else escaped in that fire besides you?" ”

Concubine Guo Hui's heart jumped, and her heart seemed to be blown by a cold wind, revealing an irrepressible coldness: "Yuan Ying rushed in to save me, and the other twenty or so palace maids and eunuchs were all buried in the fire, and there was basically no survivor...... Only Lady Liang-" When she said this, a layer of frost suddenly shrouded her face, at this moment she could no longer deny that Lady Liang could be said to be the most suspicious, otherwise everyone else was dead, why was she the only one alive?

Where in the world are there so many coincidences and luck? After the incident, Yuan Ying's expression of wanting to speak and stopping seemed to be telling Concubine Guo Hui that there was something strange about it.

Li Weiyang said with a cold gaze: "Even if you don't hold the person behind the scenes accountable for this matter, the hidden dangers around Niangniang must also be cleared, this female official Liang...... I'm afraid that the mother can't stay. ”

Concubine Guo Hui raised her eyes and looked at Li Weiyang, she couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally she finally nodded and said, "Come on, please come in." ”

Lady Liang walked back into the hall, she saw that the faces of the other three people were very solemn, completely different from the expressions just now, her heart was cold, but her face was natural, she just saluted respectfully, and said: "Niangniang, the slave has already reheated the medicine, do you want to ask Niangniang to take the medicine now." ”

Concubine Guo Hui looked at Female Officer Liang, her expression showed a hint of indifference: "Where were you when there was a fire yesterday?" ”

Lady Liang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a frightened expression: "How did Niangniang forget, when the slave maid was on fire in the palace, she went to the imperial dining room to change meals on Niangniang's order, and when she came back, she saw that something had happened, it was all the slave's fault, and she couldn't accompany Niangniang when she was in the most danger." ”

Concubine Guo Hui smiled coldly and said: "Yes, the jade shrimp made in the imperial dining room, you said that the weather has been getting cooler recently, and my body is yin deficiency and fire, so it is not suitable to eat shrimp, so I specially volunteered to go to the imperial dining room to change this dish for me." But how did it happen that you weren't in the palace when the fire broke out? ”

Lady Liang was very frightened, and there were more tears in her eyes, she knelt on the ground, and said softly: "Niangniang, the slave maid has served you for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, if the slave maid does something wrong, the maid can be punished directly, why doubt the loyalty of the slave maid?" In this world, anyone can betray the mother, but the slave will never be! ”

Concubine Guo Hui muttered, as if laughing at herself: "I have always been reluctant to doubt you, even if I suspect all the people, I also believe that you are on my side, not to mention the love that you have followed me into the palace for so many years, just because you betrayed me, you will definitely have no benefit, but I never imagined that you are still the most suspicious person when it comes to the end." After speaking, Concubine Guo Hui nodded slightly, and the four palace maids behind her stepped forward to escort Lady Liang to the ground, Lady Liang didn't dare to move, but her face was very pale.

The atmosphere in the whole hall was tense, everyone was silent, and the female official Liang suddenly cried loudly: "Niangniang, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid were not in the palace at the time, and you can't conclude that the slave and maid did it!" Her voice became more and more poignant, and it was almost grief-stricken.

The depth in Li Weiyang's eyes gradually receded, and there was a hint of sharp luster: "Niangniang, sometimes she won't confess without heavy punishment." ”

Concubine Guo Hui's eyebrows and eyes were awe-inspiring, and she was just about to order someone to be executed, when Jing Wang Yuanying hurried in from outside the palace, and there was a guard behind him.

Concubine Guo Hui's face changed: "Ying'er, who is this?" ”

King Jing's expression was very cold, he glanced at Lady Liang, and smiled coldly: "Mother, don't be so troublesome to torture!" This is the good friend of the Liang female official in the palace, and also the guard of the Xuande Gate in the palace, he has confessed to me, saying that before the incident, the Liang female official had quietly looked for him, and asked him to secretly bring the fire oil into the palace, the fire oil is a forbidden thing in the palace, why should a little female official use the fire oil, and she did not report this matter to the mother concubine, so the matter is not obvious? ”

Female Officer Liang's face turned pale the moment she saw the man.

Li Weiyang frowned slightly, looking at the guard kneeling on the ground, he was only in his thirties, maybe younger than Female Officer Liang, the bloodshot at the corner of his mouth and the bruise on his cheeks showed that he had just been tortured, and there was nothing but fear and despair in his eyes when he looked at everyone. Female Officer Liang was already paralyzed to the ground at this moment, and her expression became blank.

Concubine Guo Hui's face slowly became cold, and she said coldly: "Female Officer Liang, I only ask you one sentence, you answer honestly, why did you betray me?" ”

Female Officer Liang just lowered her head and didn't say a word, only heard a bang, and Concubine Guo Hui slapped her palm on the coffee table next to the bed: "This is the last chance I give you, if you don't tell the truth again......" She looked at the other party slowly, and slowly spit out a word: "Kill!" ”

Female Officer Liang's face changed suddenly, her eyes were red, and she stared at Concubine Guo Hui viciously, Li Weiyang's face was flat and cold, and her eyebrows were implied with evil anger, but she said to the guard: "If she refuses to say, it's up to you!" If you can tell the truth, I can persuade Your Highness to be lenient with you. ”

The guard was taken aback, then his mind turned sharply, he raised his head suddenly, and said loudly: "I am willing to tell the truth, and I hope that Niangniang and His Royal Highness will spare my life!" This matter was all caused by the noble concubine, and Lady Liang and I listened to her! As soon as he said this, there was an uproar all around.

Lady Liang knelt beside him and looked at him dumbfounded, her eyes slowly changed from disbelief to annoyance, and then from annoyance to anger in an instant.

Mrs. Guo was stunned, felt incredible, and turned her head to look at Concubine Guo Hui, she had encountered such a treacherous thing for the first time.

Li Weiyang curled the corners of his lips: "So the mastermind behind the scenes is Chen Guifei Niangniang?" ”

The guard glanced at Jing Wang Yuanying timidly, and then reported as if he had a concern: "Yes, at first, it was entirely because I was not good, I was a good gambler, and I owed a lot of debts outside, so I had to ask Liang Qiu to pay back the debt for me, but after all, her income in the palace was limited, and she had all been subsidized to me all these years, and she couldn't take out so much silver for a while, so she was really forced to take refuge in Chen Guifei." ”

Concubine Guo Hui only felt that there was a trace of uneasy information in the other party's words, she didn't dare to think about it deeply, there were thousands of small drums in her heart, could this matter really be related to the Chen family? But the other party doesn't seem to be wrong, and Lady Liang's behavior has indeed been a little abnormal recently. Half a month ago, she lost a pair of red gold heads, she didn't know how many such gold and silver jewelry, and she didn't cherish it on weekdays, but she just accidentally remembered it and ordered it to be taken out, at first she thought it was stolen by a palace maid, and told Liang Qiu to secretly visit, don't startle the snake, now I think of Liang Qiu's expression at that time, it was indeed guilt mixed with uneasiness, but I thought she was blaming herself for not managing the palace maids under her hands, but it turned out to be ...... She's short of money!

Jing Wang Yuanying said coldly: "Oh, what about the evidence? ”

The guard hurriedly said: "There is fire oil at the back of the room where I am on duty, and some cotton wool is hidden in the water tank at the back of the house!" ”

Everyone gasped and hissed, now the human and material evidence is conclusive, Chen Guifei will not be able to escape the involvement, at this time, the female official Liang gritted her teeth, and suddenly bowed to Concubine Guo Hui: "Niangniang, this matter is a slave and a maid sorry for you, and now, the only way to apologize is death!" As soon as this sentence came out, Jing Wang Yuanying shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly said loudly: "She is not allowed to commit suicide by Chinese standards." "But it was too late.

Female Officer Liang bit through the pill hidden in her mouth in advance, and her expression became extremely painful in an instant, and she soon fell to the ground unconscious, black blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, Jing Wang Yuanying took the initiative to touch her neck, and then shook her head at Li Weiyang, dead.

The guard trembled even more, as if he was very frightened, and then he said loudly: "Your Highness, you just said that you will spare my life!" In order to make meritorious contributions, I can testify against Chen Guifei for His Royal Highness! ”

Jing Wang Yuanying's face was the tranquility of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his color, but he didn't say a word. Then, he made a gesture to the guards around him, and those people immediately took a rope, stepped forward with lightning speed, and neatly tied the guards on the ground with their hands behind their backs, and quickly tied them with ropes. Before the man could react, the hemp rope had already put a loop around his neck, and the guard said in a panic: "Your Highness, what are you doing here?" You said you would spare my life, and I can testify for you! Do you want to let the murderer go unpunished?! ”

Princess Nankang was about to speak, but Mrs. Guo took her hand and shook her head.

King Jing said coldly: "Testify? I'm afraid you're trying to frame Chen Guifei for your master! As soon as he finished speaking, he had already nodded to the person next to him, the guard's face was pale, and he stared at Yuan Ying with a kind of resentment, those two people were obviously veterans of execution, each grabbed one end of the rope, and pulled it to his side fiercely, the guard's whole face turned red, and after barely struggling twice, his eyes rolled and his tongue spit out. After a long time, the executioner let go of his hand, and the man fell backwards in front of the crowd, motionless.

Li Weiyang shook her head, she deeply knew that Yuan Ying was not wrong to do this, but Princess Nankang suddenly collapsed to the ground, and she said in disbelief: "Brother, what are you doing, didn't he agree to testify for us?" Why kill him? ”

King Jing looked back at Princess Nankang indifferently, but his expression was very calm: "Children don't understand the affairs of adults. Nankang, you better go back to your own temple as soon as possible. ”

Nankang was staring at Jing Wang Yuanying, she wanted to figure it out no matter what. Just about to say something, he heard Li Weiyang say lightly: "Princess, His Royal Highness King Jing did this just because he didn't want the situation to expand." ”

Nan Kang looked back at Li Weiyang, and couldn't believe that she was so ruthless: "Guifei Niangniang has been against my mother and concubine these days, it is really not surprising that she would do this, but it is just to avenge her niece!" It's just that she took the lives of so many people in the concubine's palace at once, and this method is too ruthless. In vain, our Guo and Chen families have been closely related for so many years, sharing honor and disgrace, once she turns her face, she will be so vicious. As long as this matter is reported to his father, he will definitely punish Chen Guifei severely! ”

Jing Wang Yuanying looked at his sister, quite a little hated that iron does not become steel, and now these few people present actually understand why he did this, only Nankang has been very ignorant from beginning to end, she is not stupid, but too gullible, this problem must be reversed! She should have grown up, and she can't always rely on her mother to shelter from the wind and rain! Yuan Ying looked at Princess Nankang and said, "If I follow what this guard says, or keep his life, this matter will definitely spread, and everyone will think that Chen Guifei is going to set fire to her mother." ”

Nan Kang heard Yuan Ying's words a little strange, a trace of speculation flashed through his heart, and he lost his voice: "What do you mean-someone deliberately framed this matter?" ”

Li Weiyang's quiet eyes had a halo floating: "The concubine may hate the Guo family, but she won't burn the palace so blatantly, even if she really does this, she won't leave any handle in our hands, this guard appeared too strangely, and the betrayal of Lady Liang is not clear, now that Lady Liang is dead, the only testimony is on the body of this guard, it can be seen that the person behind the curtain deliberately wants to leave clues for us to suspect Chen Guifei's head, if I still have three points of suspicion about Chen Guifei before, At this moment I already feel that she is innocent. ”

Princess Nankang's heart suddenly missed half a beat, she turned her head to look at Concubine Guo Hui, Concubine Guo smiled and nodded to her: "Jia'er is right, I also think so." If Chen Guifei really wanted my life, there were many other methods, and there was no need to make such a big move, burning more than 20 palace maids and eunuchs at once, this matter would never be a trivial matter. ”

King Jing nodded, and then ordered the guards to drag the two dead people out. At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside report: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

The expressions of everyone in the hall changed, especially Concubine Guo Hui, who hurriedly straightened her clothes and was about to get up, but heard the emperor say loudly as he walked in: "Concubine Ai doesn't need to be polite, I just came to visit you." ”

The emperor's face was radiant, and he had a graceful bearing, Li Weiyang looked at the other party coldly, and there were three points of disgust in his expression, of course the emperor was sitting in the first seat, and Concubine Guo Hui and the others could only stand, the emperor's eyes fell on Jingwang Yuanying: "How did you investigate the matter?" ”

King Jing lowered his head and bowed and said: "Back to my father, this matter has been investigated by the ministers, because the female official Liang in the palace made a little mistake, was scolded by the mother, and held a grudge, so she burned the palace and tried to kill the mother concubine." Now this female official Liang has committed suicide in fear of crime, such a crime should have been copied and beheaded, but female official Liang has never married for life, but is alone. Erchen Jianyì This matter is for this reason, don't expand it. What did my father think? ”

When Yuan Ying spoke, Li Weiyang kept staring at the emperor's expression, unwilling to let go of the slightest change, the emperor put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Oh, Concubine Ai also thinks that this matter is just because a female official disobeyed discipline and deliberately retaliated, so simple?" ”

Concubine Guo Hui's heart tightened, but she said in a calm tone: "At first, the concubine was also very suspicious, Lady Liang was the concubine's henchman and maidservant, why would she do such a thing?" But then I thought about it, she was reluctant to bring her into the palace at the beginning, she must have held a grudge for so many years, and she couldn't stand a little scolding, and she would do such a terrible thing. Your Majesty, if the concubine dies, she can be released from the palace openly, and she can live with her sweetheart, I'm afraid this is the real reason for her arson. ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly laughed: "Oh, I see, King Jing was able to find out the whole story of the matter so quickly, and I am very pleased with you." He is really capable, worthy of being my son. ”

The louder he laughed, the louder he laughed, his chest rising and falling, and he almost lost his breath. And Li Weiyang has been watching coldly, feeling that the emperor's joy at this moment is inexplicably wonderful. At this moment, the emperor's gaze suddenly fell on Li Weiyang's body, he put away his smile, and regained his expression: "Did Mrs. Guo also take the young lady into the palace?" ”

Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang hurriedly bowed to the emperor again: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Li Weiyang said in his heart that he had already reported to you, what kind of garlic was pretending to be at this time, it was obvious that he deliberately came to this palace while they were talking, but he didn't know what the plan was, and no one could guess the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor glanced at Li Weiyang with a deep gaze, just smiled faintly, and then turned his head to Concubine Guo Hui and said: "It seems that all the orders of the previous dynasty and the harem need to be rectified. In my opinion, every palace must be heavily guarded. ”

The emperor's eyes shone and looked directly at Concubine Guo Hui, clearly with another deep meaning, and she felt a little panicked in her heart. However, Concubine Guo Hui immediately stabilized and continued: "Yes, thank you for your compassion. ”

The emperor smiled faintly: "I have decided to select capable soldiers from the forbidden army, and thirty people will form a guard to protect the safety of my concubine day and night. He said it in one breath, and Concubine Guo Hui's expression was stunned. Li Weiyang felt bad in his heart, is this protection or surveillance? Immediately, Yuan Ying objected: "Father, it's just an ordinary palace guard, but after all, the forbidden army has always been the capital of the guards, and they don't understand the rules of the palace, so it is inconvenient to be in the inner palace." The father's good intentions were received by the sons and daughters for the mother, but this matter may not be appropriate. ”

The emperor looked at King Jing Yuanying, and said with a smile: "Your concerns are not unreasonable, since you think that the forbidden army is not good, then King Jing will choose the right candidate among the eunuchs who know martial arts, and do your best to protect the safety of the concubine. ”

The corners of Concubine Guo Hui's lips kept a calm smile, and she got up gracefully and knelt on the bed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor's smile deepened, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked at Nan Kang and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Nan Kang has grown into a big girl." ”

Princess Nankang thought that the emperor had finally paid attention to her, and there was some joy in her expression. In the palace, the emperor has never been interested in their children, except for Princess Shouchun, who is still favored, the emperor almost doesn't look at the other daughters, but at this moment his eyes fell on Nankang's body, and his expression seemed to be very loving.

Concubine Guo Hui and Jing Wang Yuanying were at the same time uneasy in their hearts.

Li Weiyang had dealt with the emperor, and she knew that the other party was unpredictable, and often made amazing moves. I don't know why, but this time she had a bad premonition.

The emperor looked at Nankang carefully, and said with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, the longer it is, the more beautiful it is." ”

Nan Kang bowed down and said, "Thank you for your father's praise." ”

The emperor nodded and said to Concubine Guo Hui: "It's still a good way to teach Concubine Ai!" ”

Concubine Guo Hui also saw that something was wrong, but no one dared to speak lightly in front of the emperor, King Jing was about to think of a way to divert the emperor's attention, but suddenly heard the emperor say loudly: "When Shouchun got married last time, I remember that Wang Yanke, the son of the Wang family, is a very outstanding talent, and now it seems that he is a good match with Nankang." ”

When King Jing heard the emperor provoke this remark, his brows suddenly furrowed, and then he let go again, and hurriedly said, "Father, Nankang is still young. ”

The emperor said coldly: "It's already sixteen years old, how can you call it young?" I had a lot of things to do a few days ago, and I couldn't plan for Nan Kang well, but now I see that Nan Kang has grown into a big girl, and she is talented and good-looking, so I will make the decision to marry her to Wang Yan, and let them get married on a good day. ”

He had made up his mind, and he would not allow others to refute him, so he immediately stood up straight and walked out, no matter how unwilling Nan Kang was, she could only receive the order and thanks.

Walking to the door, the emperor suddenly turned his head, looked at Li Weiyang and smiled slightly: "Kiss and kiss, this is a great joy!" ”

After he finished saying this inexplicable sentence, he had already strode out, accompanied by a hearty laugh. But when the emperor left, the expressions of the other people in the palace were very shocked, especially Concubine Guo Hui, she looked at Princess Nankang, and couldn't help frowning and said: "He has never cared about you for a long time, and when he suddenly came here today, I felt that there was a problem." ”

The corners of Li Weiyang's lips pursed slightly, and his lacquered eyes were unusually gloomy: "Your Majesty just now specially proposed to strengthen the guard for Niangniang, Your Highness has already refuted it once, so Princess Nankang's marriage must not be refuted a second time, Your Majesty Xià is really not an ordinary abacus, and it is very good to play the latest chapter of the task trigger." ”

Mrs. Guo looked at Princess Nankang, who was still ignorant and uneasy, shook her head, and she comforted: "Fortunately, that Wang Yangongzi is also both civil and military, talented, not a wronged princess." ”

Princess Nankang remembered Wang Yan who she saw on the balcony that day, and her face couldn't help but flush, in the last competition held for Princess Shouchun, Wang Yan was indeed handsome, young and handsome, and a figure with both civil and military skills, which made the girl in the boudoir blush and heartbeat, Princess Nankang hadn't paid special attention to it before, and now she heard that the emperor promised her to Wang Yan, and carefully recalled Wang Yan's appearance and demeanor, and her face couldn't help but redden.

Yuan Ying shook his head, although Wang Yan is a figure who is both civil and military, but in his opinion, Wang Yan is slightly inferior to the other sons of the Wang family, just impulsive and narrow-minded, he can't become a big man. He originally wanted to plan well for Nankang's marriage, and the best plan was to marry into the Guo family, or marry into the Zhou family, you must know that the Zhou family has 100,000 forbidden troops in their hands, and they are also very worthy of being wooed, at least they can install a nail in the Zhou family to monitor the actions of King Jin and the Zhou family......

But marrying the Wang family - Yuan Ying thought about it carefully, and felt that marrying the Wang family might not be a bad thing, but it always made people feel hairy when they came out of the emperor's mouth, maybe he didn't trust the emperor enough, and always felt that the other party didn't have any good intentions.

Not only King Jing thinks so, but obviously Li Weiyang also thinks so, she has seen all the sons of the Wang family at the banquet, if the emperor marries Princess Nankang to the gentle Wang Guang, or the smart and introverted Wang Ji, it will be a good choice. But it's Wang Yan, that person is too proud, and he is quite hostile to the Guo family, if Princess Nankang marries her, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing. Besides, Li Weiyang faintly felt that the emperor's move was like a three-point target for herself, but although she felt uneasy for a while, she couldn't think of anything to do, and it seemed that the two things were not necessarily related.

After all, since the emperor was jealous of Yuan Lie, he would not take himself lightly.

Seeing that they were all solemn, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but say: "Okay, okay, since Your Majesty's will has been made, it is irreparable, I believe that the Wang family will definitely treat Nankang well." ”

Li Weiyang nodded, Mrs. Guo actually knew General Wang, but she was not familiar with Wang Yan, so she would feel that Wang Yan was not a good match for Princess Nankang, which was not a big mistake, but there was something wrong with Wang Zijin before, I am afraid that the relationship between Princess Nankang and Concubine Guo Hui will be more embarrassing in the eyes of everyone.

Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Princess Nankang is so likable, no matter what kind of family she marries, she will live happily." ”

Nankang's smile couldn't help but float on his cheeks, but he said shyly: "Sister, stop making fun of me." With that, she covered her face and ran out of the hall, Li Weiyang and Mrs. Guo glanced at each other, but they both saw the sigh and pity in each other's eyes.

Coming out of Concubine Hui's palace, King Jing Yuanying said, "Jia'er, I want to thank you for dismissing your concubine today." ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything today, His Royal Highness King Jing is the one who caught the murderer." ”

King Jing looked at the queen's palace with burning eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Today, I disposed of the guards and the female officer Liang, the most important purpose is to make them not climb and bite at will, and I don't want to hurt the innocent. ”

Li Weiyang nodded and said: "I believe that this matter has nothing to do with the Chen family, it is just that someone is deliberately instigating, if we continue to investigate deeply, we will only find out some other messy people, in fact, it doesn't matter, it is enough for us to know who made the move and keep it in mind, and look for a suitable opportunity to fight back." ”

When she said the four words to fight back, Jingwang Yuanying glanced at her deeply and said, "This matter is not urgent, take your time, fortunately, the concubine is not injured." ”

Mrs. Guo had already walked out of the palace, and Li Weiyang was about to say goodbye to King Jing, but he heard King Jing say, "What do you think about the marriage of His Majesty?" ”

Both of them knew that the emperor was clearly looking for an opportunity to deliberately embarrass the Guo family and Concubine Guo Hui, otherwise he would not be this old man for no reason.

Seeing Li Weiyang's expression, King Jing guessed what she thought, and he said lightly: "Yes, I also think that my father's behavior today is very strange, he has never cared about Nankang on weekdays, so I know very well what kind of person Wang Yan is, nothing else, but too proud and conceited, Nankang may not be very happy to marry him." ”

It's not as simple as not going well...... Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said: "Nankang is a princess after all, no matter how proud Wang Yan is, he should know that the emperor cannot be bullied, and he must not go too far, and His Royal Highness King Jing does not need to worry too much." ”

Yuan Ying nodded, sighed, and said, "I hope so." ”

Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang got into the carriage, and King Jing watched their carriage leave, turned his head and instructed the people around him: "From today onwards, you must guard your mother's side for twelve hours, and don't let anyone hurt her." ”

The eunuch whispered, "Yes, Your Highness! ”

King Jing looked at the sunset not far away, and his heart was inexplicably shrouded in a shadow.

On the carriage, Mrs. Guo had a solemn expression, and she had long lost the composure she had just comforted Princess Nankang, and she said in a low voice: "Jia'er, I think Your Majesty's intention in this matter is ......."

Li Weiyang looked at Mrs. Guo and said, "It's to target the Guo family." ”

Mrs. Guo nodded, "That's right, Your Majesty's move must be aimed at the Guo family, you must know that Nankang is the adopted daughter of Concubine Guo Hui, speaking of which is inextricably linked with the Guo family, that day His Royal Highness King Xu refused to marry in public on the main hall, giving the Wang family an embarrassment, no matter how generous they are, they will be angry about this matter, I look at the look of the Wang family, others are fine, Wang Yan is particularly angry, but it is allowed to him, I am afraid that Princess Nankang will marry ......"

Li Weiyang didn't want her to be too worried, so he comforted: "Mother doesn't need to worry too much, Your Majesty's move is just to check and balance the Guo family, and there should be no other meaning." ”

Does it really mean anything else? Li Weiyang didn't think so in his heart, in addition to warning the Guo family and warning Li Weiyang, the emperor must have a deep meaning, maybe the emperor didn't give up the idea of letting Wang Zijin become Princess Xu, since there is no way to do it from King Xu, the emperor will find his head after all, so what way does he want to let himself give up? Li Weiyang really wanted to know what other means the emperor had not used.

Mrs. Guo said worriedly: "No matter what, I can't bear to watch such an innocent and romantic child of Princess Nankang go to others to be angry. ”

Li Weiyang's expression was very flat: "Mother, there is a sentence that I actually wanted to say for a long time, but Concubine Hui loves Princess Nankang too much, so I didn't make it clear." Do you look at what Nankang is doing today like a princess? A person can be simple and kind, but he must not be ignorant or dull. After living by Concubine Hui's side for so long, she has always relied on Concubine Hui and King Jing's protection, what else does she have? If she continues to do this, I am afraid it will not do her any good. Marrying into the Wang family this time may allow her to understand how to become a qualified princess and how to learn to protect her relatives instead of standing behind others all the time. ”

Mrs. Guo sighed: "You are right, if you want to open a life, it is an ordeal, if you want to find a person without tribulation among hundreds of people, you can't find it at all, a little happiness will have countless tribulations to follow, everyone has their own destiny, and the same is true of Nankang, we have no way to stop it." ”

Li Weiyang looked at Mrs. Guo but disagreed: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be reversed, the key is that fate must be in your own hands." ”

Mrs. Guo looked at Li Weiyang, but shook her head gently: "Don't take it lightly, child, it's not easy to be a person." ”

Li Weiyang gently snuggled into Mrs. Guo's arms, and she whispered: "Mother, Jia'er understands what you mean, and I will be more careful from now on." ”

Mrs. Guo stroked her soft hair, and said thoughtfully: "Jia'er, the person my mother is most worried about is you, you have a cold personality on the outside and hot on the inside, and you are an extremely stubborn child, you are too persistent in everything, and you refuse to let go lightly, your mother doesn't want you to suffer any hardships, and she doesn't want you to be unhappy, if you can, your mother wants to send you out of Dadu for the time being and go outside to recuperate." ”

Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "No, mother, I will never leave at this time." "Presumably, Mrs. Guo has seen at this moment that not only Empress Pei, but now even the emperor has quite an opinion on the Guo family, and even has the intention of doing something, and she let Li Weiyang leave Dadu clearly to protect her.

Mrs. Guo has a total of five sons, but she only has one daughter, and the most distressed person is always Guo Jia, Li Weiyang's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, and she said softly: "Mother, don't worry, Jia'er will not leave Dadu." But I won't be hurt either. On the contrary, I will not let go of any of those who hurt me and the Guo family. ”

Mrs. Guo knew Li Weiyang's persistence, and when she heard her say this, she couldn't help but hug her tightly, and sighed: "No matter what Jia'er decides, mother is on your side." ”

Li Weiyang felt the burst of fragrance from Mrs. Guo's arms, and that kind of fragrance could only be found in her mother's body. She seems to have found the mother's love that she has lacked since she was a child, and she has such a mother who cares for her and protects her, what does she have to worry about? In the past, she always thought that the most powerful people in this world were the most concerned, because there was no concern, so she could fight, she could break through, and she could ignore it, but now she has changed her opinion, it is precisely because of Mrs. Guo, the rest of the Guo family, care, and concern, so she will have more confidence, more obligations, and need to work harder to eliminate those with bad intentions one by one. If you want to become stronger, if you want to protect your loved ones, love is also a strength! Even more powerful than hate.

Li Weiyang knew that Empress Pei had already made a move, and there would be a tough battle next, and the outcome was not yet known!
