Early the next morning, news came from the palace that Concubine Hui specially summoned Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang. Mrs. Guo was a little surprised when she heard the news: "Jia'er, what will Concubine Hui want to see us?" ”

Li Weiyang pondered for a while, and chuckled lightly: "Mother don't worry, the waves in the middle of the court are turbulent, and the harem is also very unpeaceful. ”

Mrs. Guo heard the meaning of Li Weiyang's words, nodded and said, "It is not easy for her to be alone in the palace, let's go into the palace to accompany her." ”

Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang entered the palace together, and when they saw that Concubine Guo Hui's face was very thin, Mrs. Guo looked her up and down, and asked lightly: "Niangniang, why are you so haggard these days, has something happened?" ”

Concubine Guo Huifei's fingers holding the handkerchief tightened, shook her head, and glanced at the palace maids who were standing with their heads down, and ordered: "Okay, this palace and the mother's family will talk, and you all retreat." The palace maids withdrew without saying a word, leaving only the most trusted female official by Concubine Guo Hui's side to guard the door, not letting outsiders in.

Concubine Hui looked at Li Weiyang, and there seemed to be a hidden worry in her eyes: "The palace has not been very peaceful these days, and I think the same is true outside." ”

Concubine Guo Hui asked about the current situation in the court, and Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said: "Niangniang, there is my father and His Royal Highness King Jing outside, you don't have to worry too much, it's better to rest and recuperate." ”

Concubine Hui looked at her soft face, and just sighed: "Yuanying, this child is really too impatient, I am always worried that he does not know the severity and will cause some trouble in the future." ”

Li Weiyang and Mrs. Guo glanced at each other, and Mrs. Guo took the lead and said: "Niangniang is really worried, His Royal Highness King Jing is a dragon and phoenix among people, with unparalleled intelligence and personality, and his personality is very introverted. ”

Who knew that Concubine Hui's expression became even more uneasy when she heard this, and said, "He is my son, can I not understand him?" He is indeed a very talented person, but when it comes to scheming, how can he be able to defeat Queen Pei? I'm afraid that people will deliberately throw some traps, and he will stupidly step into them. I specially invited my sister-in-law and Jia'er to enter the palace today, and the most important purpose is to hope that Jia'er can persuade him, so that he should not be too eager for quick success, and think about what he should do in the near future. ”

Li Weiyang didn't expect Concubine Guo Hui to suddenly talk about this, but she was a little surprised, Mrs. Guo hurriedly said: "Niangniang thinks too highly of Jia'er, you are his mother, if even you can't persuade him, what can Jia'er do?" ”

Who knew that Concubine Guo Hui smiled faintly, obviously disapproving: "Jia'er, you are a smart child, will you understand what I mean?" Although I don't have the blessing to be your mother-in-law, I am still your aunt, and the fact that I am close by blood will not change no matter what. For Wonyoung's sake, for your cousin's sake, care more about him. I am a useless mother, and I can't give him what he wants, so I can only persuade him to stop. ”

Li Weiyang understands what Concubine Guo Hui said, it seems that Concubine Hui does not want her son to fight for power, indeed, according to Concubine Guo Hui's temperament, she should have the same opinion as Qi Guogong. Empress Pei is scheming and cunning, and the position of the prince is very stable, Jingwang Yuanying is very keen on winning the status because of that rumor, and he has been acting a little impatient recently, and it is not surprising that Concubine Hui will be anxious about this, the most important reason why she thinks of Li Weiyang is that she sees that Yuanying's heart is still unforgettable for Li Weiyang, and such a person can certainly influence her son. Although she knew that what she did was a little selfish, but out of a motherly heart, she still hoped that Li Weiyang could put aside her estrangement and persuade Yuan Ying, maybe he would listen to her persuasion.

Thinking of this, Concubine Guo Hui's face showed earnestness, and she took the initiative to hold Li Weiyang's hand and said, "Jia'er, it can be regarded as your aunt's request to help your aunt." ”

Li Weiyang looked at Concubine Guo Hui's eyes, and suddenly remembered that one day, when the emperor was about to kill her in the imperial study, it was Concubine Guo Hui who stopped in front of her, no matter what, she should have returned the favor. Li Weiyang turned this thought in his mind, and smiled lightly: "I understand, Niangniang, if you have the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness King Jing, I will persuade him." ”

Concubine Guo Hui breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to Mrs. Guo and said, "Sister-in-law, you gave birth to a well-behaved and sensible daughter, I really envy you, if only Nankang had Jia'er so smart and sensible." ”

Mrs. Guo sighed in her heart, but changed the topic and said, "Has Princess Nankang been feeling better lately?" ”

Concubine Hui smiled slightly, but there was a trace of regret in her expression: "Nankang insists on leaving home in the nunnery, and I can't stop her." Originally, I planned to let her stay in the nunnery for some time, and when the limelight passed, I would take her back, and when the wind and waves were calm, I could choose another husband for her, but I didn't expect that she had already seen through it and was not ready to return to this iron cage. ”

Hearing Concubine Guo Hui's description of the palace as a cage, Li Weiyang shook his head slightly, Concubine Hui was not wrong, this is a splendid place, and it is also a place where people are free, and ordinary people can't live here. Mrs. Guo looked at Concubine Hui, a trace of sadness slowly overflowed on her face, she could understand the feelings of a mother, Concubine Hui personally brought up Princess Nankang, but she didn't expect her to fall to this point, maybe this is a person's fate. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sit next to Concubine Hui and comforted her softly.

At this moment, the palace maid outside suddenly knocked twice on the door, Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Come in." The palace maid walked in respectfully and reported: "Niangniang, the time for dinner has come." ”

Concubine Guo Hui nodded, and said to Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang, "Come and dine with me." ”

Mrs. Guo actually doesn't like to eat in the palace because the rules are too big. According to the custom in the palace, the emperor has no less than thirty dishes per meal, the queen has no less than twenty-five dishes, and the harem concubines have no less than twenty dishes. A person's appetite is limited, and the concubines don't like to move around on weekdays, and they can't eat much.

It is not the first time that Mrs. Guo has stayed in Concubine Hui's palace to eat, but every time the palace maid personally prepares dishes for her, she feels uncomfortable. Although Li Weiyang knew this, since Concubine Hui personally kept it, it was difficult for them to refuse.

When the table full of dishes was served, Mrs. Guo looked at it but had no appetite, and she should have eaten without saying a word, but Concubine Hui couldn't help but say with concern: "Is my sister-in-law's health better than before?" ”

Mrs. Guo turned her head to look at Concubine Hui and smiled, "Thanks to Jia'er's companionship day and night, my body is much better now." In fact, most of the reason for her illness before was Guo Dun, and now she has already recovered her health after recuperation, but the delicacies on the table seem to be greasy and greasy, which makes people feel not very refreshing.

Concubine Hui smiled and personally sandwiched a piece of cabbage flowers and put it in front of Mrs. Guo, and then she also sandwiched some herself, before she spoke: "We don't have this dish here, it was paid tribute from elsewhere two days ago, and I didn't dare to taste it at first, but then I occasionally tried it to know that it was extraordinarily fresh, so I specially asked someone to keep some and prepare to send it to the Duke of Qi, sister-in-law, you can also try it." ”

Mrs. Guo showed a hint of emotion on her face, and she smiled: "It's rare for a mother to have a heart." ”

Li Weiyang saw that the relationship between the two of them was very good, and he couldn't help but smile slightly. Li Weiyang was about to pick up the chopsticks, but suddenly saw a palace maid who had just served the food secretly looking at Mrs. Guo with her eyes, as if she was looking at it with her eyes, she couldn't help but pause the chopsticks, and her heart moved, Mrs. Guo had already sent the chopsticks to her mouth, and she was about to eat it, Li Weiyang suddenly said coldly: "Mother, wait a minute!" ”

Mrs. Guo was about to taste this fresh vegetable, but she was frightened by Li Weiyang's voice, and immediately put down her chopsticks and said in surprise: "Jia'er, what's wrong?" ”

Li Weiyang looked at the palace maid very coldly, and said, "Come here and try it!" ”

Concubine Guo Hui smiled and said: "Jia'er, you don't have to be suspicious, originally the palace asked people to try it, but I thought the rules were too cumbersome and ordered them to be exempted, but there are still silver needles to try the dishes." ”

Li Weiyang smiled coldly and said, "Niangniang, sometimes you still need these cumbersome procedures. After speaking, she turned her head to look at the palace maid and said, "Not yet!" Didn't you hear me? ”

Concubine Guo Hui was taken aback, she looked at the palace maid and frowned: "Xing'er, didn't you hear what Miss said?" ”

At this time, the palace maid named Xing'er knelt on the ground with a "poof", cold sweat flowed on her face for some reason, Li Weiyang's smile became more indifferent, and she said: "Since it is a fresh vegetable that I have never heard of, I might as well reward you with two bites, and it will not be in vain for you to take care of your mother's loyalty." ”

Xing'er was even more frightened, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, but she refused to look up to touch the dish. Concubine Guo Hui saw that no matter how stupid she was here, she understood three points, this palace maid called Xing'er returned to her after changing the palace, she was originally born smart, lively and enthusiastic, and could read and write, she was very fond of Guo Huifei's temper, when she was bored, she would summon this palace maid to chat with her, but she never thought that the other party had ulterior motives, she couldn't help but say coldly: "Xing'er, what's wrong with you, or-there is a problem with this dish!" ”

Xing'er didn't dare to raise her head at all, let alone answer. Concubine Guo Hui's beautiful eyes sank, and she ordered the female officer to bring over a cat she liked, this cat was a kitten specially given by Yuan Ying, its sense of smell is particularly sensitive, and it barks when it smells something delicious, indicating that it likes it very much. But once it touches food that doesn't taste good, it keeps holding its neck to show that it can't eat it. After a while, Concubine Guo Hui's pet was brought in, and Concubine Hui ordered the palace maid to clip a small piece of cabbage flower for the kitten to sniff. As a result, as soon as the chopsticks were put in front of the kitten, it turned its head and ran, seeing this scene, Concubine Guo Huifei stood up suddenly, and said sharply: "Bring it back!" The palace maid immediately forcibly took the cat back, and gave it a small piece of cabbage plugged in, but the kitten howled, raised its head high, and did not intend to eat it at all.

Concubine Guo Hui sneered and turned her head suddenly: "Xing'er, even you betrayed me!" ”

Hearing Concubine Hui say this, Na Xing'er was completely stunned, and then she quickly stood up and hit the wall with lightning speed, but there were more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids around, can she be allowed to bump into it? Everyone grabbed her with all their hands.

Seeing this chaotic scene, Concubine Guo Hui felt cold, only felt that her body was weak, and she couldn't help but sit down slowly. Now she is really a little scared, if it weren't for Li Weiyang who noticed that Xing'er's expression was wrong in time and prevented herself and her sister-in-law from eating this dish, I'm afraid they would have died at this time. Thinking of this, she was annoyed and afraid, she was so angry that she said sharply: "Pull Xing'er out for a good interrogation, you must dig out this poisoner and break his body into ten thousand pieces!" ”

The eunuchs looked at each other, and as soon as they raised their hands, they took Xing'er out, Concubine Guo Hui's face was pale, and her body kept trembling. Seeing that Concubine Hui was so nervous, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but gently pat her shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

This sentence was like the last straw that broke Concubine Hui's shoulders, she cried violently, and said in disbelief: "Why are people around me being taken advantage of, am I not good enough for them?" ”

Li Weiyang sighed lightly: "Niangniang, sometimes it's not that you are not good enough for her, but that people's hearts are too complicated, it may be for fame and fortune, or for power, who will know what she thinks in her heart." ”

Concubine Hui raised her head sharply and said, "I really don't understand!" She obviously still can't figure out that Lady Liang, who has followed her for many years, betrayed her, and now it's Xing'er's turn. When the Guo and Chen families were on good terms, Xing'er was transferred to Chen Guifei by Concubine Hui, and later because of the fire, Concubine Hui's side was not enough, although some new people were added, but they were always unsatisfactory, so Chen Guifei returned Xing'er to her out of kindness.

Mrs. Guo, who originally felt that this matter was very strange, couldn't help but say: "Could it be the concubine Niangniang, she ......?"

Recently, the relationship between the Guo and Chen families has eased, so Chen Guifei specially sent Xing'er back. Li Weiyang shook his head: "How can Chen Guifei be so stupid? She poisoned us as soon as she sent them back, wouldn't she be affected? ”

Who would it be if it wasn't Chen Guifei, Guo Huifei's face was even more ugly. Mrs. Guo thought for a while and said: "The poisoning case is important to the witness, this matter can't get out of the imperial dining room, as long as you investigate it carefully, especially to find out who made this dish and who served it, as long as you catch people and keep them alive, you can naturally force them to confess behind-the-scenes instructions." ”

Concubine Guo Hui shook her head, "I'm just afraid that things are not so simple, since the other party dares to do something to us, he will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly and said: "Yes, it may not be possible to find out anything, but the important thing is that Niangniang should make a big check to deter everyone, and it is best to kill some, so that Niangniang can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, maybe...... Spreading rumors in the palace is more advantageous than catching the real murderer. ”

When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she couldn't help but raise her bright eyes to look at Li Weiyang, almost stunned. Li Weiyang's smile was very gentle, but the tone of her speech was very cold. Concubine Guo Hui couldn't help but think that Jingwang Yuanying had mentioned to her the gossip outside the palace, and she immediately thought of Li Weiyang's body, but is this qiē possible? Jia'er is just a weak woman, although she has more thoughts, but how can she suspect the old things in the palace back then? That qiē was unheard of even by himself. But looking at Li Weiyang's cold face, she didn't dare to ask more, and she didn't know why, for the first time in her heart, she had some apprehension and uneasiness about Li Weiyang.

would rather kill the mistake than let it go, how ruthless this girl is in her heart.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang walked to the door, and happened to meet Jing Wang Yuanying to greet Concubine Hui. Mrs. Guo thought of what Concubine Hui said just now, and couldn't help but whisper, "Jia'er, my handkerchief seems to have been lost in the Niangniang Palace, I will go back with the palace maid to get it, and you can accompany King Jing here to say a few words." ”

Now they are standing in the corridor, the terrain is open, even if someone sees the two of them standing together, they will not say much, they can fulfill Concubine Hui's request without having to meet again in private, and avoid gossip. Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "In this way, I will wait for my mother here." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Guo had re-entered the hall, Yuan Ying stepped forward: "Why does my cousin have time to enter the palace today to visit the concubine?" ”

Li Weiyang's cold eyes fell on the other party's face: "Your Highness doesn't know?" ”

King Jing was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I'm afraid that the concubine summoned you to the palace to persuade me." "He's a very smart guy, and he gets to the point in one word.

Li Weiyang looked at him, with a hint of indifference in his smile: "His Royal Highness King Jing doesn't feel that he is in a hurry, rumors are just rumors after all, and they may not cause much harm to them." ”

King Jing smiled slightly, but asked softly, "Jia'er, what is your real intention in spreading this rumor?" ”

This person just refused to give up, Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows: "Having said that, it is inconvenient for me to hide it, and His Highness will naturally know what the purpose is in the future, but at this stage, I hope you will not act rashly, let alone ruin my plan casually." ”

King Jing couldn't help frowning: "I sabotage your plan? How is this possible? Didn't you tell me to play the side drums? ”

It's clearly knowingly asking! Li Weiyang's smile turned cold: "I asked you to beat the side drum, but I didn't let you get involved too much, especially recently the queen deliberately put some errands for you to do, don't you think there are many traps in this?" ”

King Jing was stunned for a moment, and said with a hint of shock in his eyes: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Li Weiyang said with a smile: "What kind of person is Empress Pei, under her strict surveillance, when did the courtiers elect His Royal Highness King Jing?" But now they are ready to move, and one after another to push good things to King Jing, don't you think it's very strange? ”

King Jing was slightly disapproving: "Perhaps...... It's because they're disappointed in the prince that they've turned their attention to me. ”

Li Weiyang's expression was a hint of sarcasm: "Your Highness really thinks about things too simply!" There is nothing more than a struggle for power between people, especially in the court. It doesn't matter whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born to the queen or not, the important thing is that he is the crown prince and the object of Empress Pei's support, as long as they know this, why should they care about anything else? Think about it, why is Tobe willing to let His Highness's people interfere, it's just a mess! Why did the military department Shangshu suddenly show favor to you, it was to pour some dirty water on you! The best way to get rid of a rumor is to create a bigger incident, Your Highness, you think clearly! ”

Hearing that the other party was so categorical, King Jing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, didn't speak for a long time, looked at Li Weiyang fixedly, and said, "What do you mean...... Empress Pei is digging a trap for me. ”

Li Weiyang sighed lightly: "Yes, if you don't stop in time, I'm afraid you'll fall too deep!" At this point, please do it yourself! ”

King Jing thought about some things in the near future, and couldn't help but understand, and while he was glad for the other party's reminder, he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope: "It turns out that you still care about me, I thought you were too infatuated with Yuan Yeol, so much so that you turned a blind eye to me......"

Li Weiyang frowned slightly: "Why did King Jing say this?" You're my cousin after all, aren't you? ”

King Jing smiled coldly, and a layer of frost shrouded his handsome face: "You have always traveled with him these days, and in the capital, I don't know how many people are saying that your good things are coming." ”

Li Weiyang couldn't help but be slightly displeased, and said with a sinking face: "You are following us?" ”

King Jing's brows furrowed even tighter: "I care about you." ”

Li Weiyang turned around, and his voice became extremely condensed: "I have my freedom, and it has nothing to do with who I want to be with Your Highness, please stop here!" ”

King Jing took a step forward and stopped about three steps closer to her, and said in a different tone: "Jia'er, I'm just afraid that you will make a bad friend by mistake and entrust you for life." ”

Li Weiyang turned his head suddenly, his eyes were infinitely cold: "I repeat, I am not a child, so I don't need His Highness to worry about it." ”

King Jing looked at Li Weiyang and looked quite moved: "People's hearts are sinister, you are a woman after all, and you are always sad...... Yuan Lie's identity is special, didn't you already know it? ”

Li Weiyang looked at him, and his expression slowly calmed down: "It seems that Concubine Hui Niangniang will sue you for everything." ”

King Jing said: "That day, in the imperial study, His Majesty clearly said that Yuan Lie was his son, but as far as I know, my father has not had a son who has been exiled for so many years!" No, there is only one, and that is born to Princess Qixia! If you know his sordid origins, why are you so close to him? ”

Li Weiyang didn't like others to criticize Yuan Lie, and she didn't like King Jing's arrogant and contemptuous tone, she restrained the surging anger in her heart and said: "Your Highness, I am with Yuan Lie, and it has nothing to do with his background!" To tell you the truth, no matter who he is or what his identity is, it will not affect my feelings for him! You don't have to think in vain! ”

The smile on King Jing's face had completely disappeared: "You don't want to accept me because I am fighting for power, can you avoid this by being with him?" No, it is impossible, he is the son of Princess Qixia, his father will not let him go, Empress Pei will not let him go, he will not have a peaceful day! What's in it for you to follow him? What can he give you? ”

Li Weiyang's eyes were clear: "I thought I had said it very clearly, Your Highness, I don't like you, please don't make mistakes again and again, put your mind on a person who doesn't love you at all, now you need a princess to stabilize the overall situation." In my opinion, Ms. Wang is the best candidate. ”

"Wang Zijin?" King Jing's expression was cold, "I didn't expect you to push me to her?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly, but his expression was a little cold: "Your Highness, I'm doing this for your good." Miss Wang is incomparably intelligent, noble-born, and proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, which will be very helpful to His Royal Highness's great cause in the future, if you marry her, you can not only cut off Empress Pei's thoughts, but also assist you, what's wrong? On the contrary, even if you marry me, I will do you no good, and I will not want to help you in the slightest. ”

King Jing's forehead was faintly beating, and he stepped forward and said, "Why do you think I'm doing something wrong, is it wrong that I like you?" ”

Li Weiyang looked at him coldly: "Your Highness, whether it was in the past, present, or future, I can only treat you as a brother, please don't pester me anymore!" ”

King Jing's expression was very firm: "Don't swear so much, there is no absolute thing in this world, I have a chance!" ”

Li Weiyang looked at the other party and couldn't help sneering, there are many people in this world who are overconfident, they feel that the whole world is at his feet, and they are at his disposal. King Jing is obviously also this kind of person, his attachment to the throne and his insistence on himself, this qiē is not because of how much he loves himself, but more importantly, because of a kind of hatred that does not admit defeat to support him.

Li Weiyang finally turned his anger into a smile: "Your Highness has the heart to worry about my affairs, it is better to think about what Empress Pei wants to do with the calendar." King Jing was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Great calendar? You mean the current emperor Tuoba Yu, what does he have to do with Empress Pei? ”

Li Weiyang smiled at Yan Yan: "Empress Pei supported Tuoba Yu to ascend the throne, but so far we don't know what she wants Tuoba Yu to do for her." ”

After all, King Jing is an extremely smart person, and he knows when to let go of his love and love and think about his future way out. At this moment, he couldn't help but get serious, and said, "So there is a problem with the alliance between the Great Calendar and the Great Zhou?" ”

Seeing that he had thought of the key point so quickly, Li Weiyang couldn't help but smile lightly: "If there is no problem, why should Empress Pei bother so much, what benefits can she get?" ”

King Jing was annoyed in his heart, slapped his palm heavily on the pillar, and gritted his teeth and said, "She is always so restless! ”

As long as government affairs are mentioned, the person in front of him will forget about love and love, but it is not too stupid, Li Weiyang smiled faintly and turned to leave.

At this time, Ying Chu had just walked out of the queen's palace, but when he saw the prince coming towards him, Ying Chu couldn't help but raise his vigilance, and bowed to each other: "Your Highness." ”

The prince usually walked directly past him without even looking at him, but today the prince suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Lord Ying, where is this going?" ”

Ying Chu bowed and said: "Your Highness, Weichen has just come out after meeting Niangniang, and he is about to return home." "The prince has a rare kind attitude and no menacing momentum, which makes Ying Chu not very steady.

The prince smiled more kindly and said, "I happen to have something to find Master Ying, come, come back home with me." ”

Rao is Yingchu was scheming, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Your Highness, don't you want to meet Niangniang?" ”

The prince's smile was even gentler: "I'll come to see the queen mother later, but it's rare to meet you, Lord Ying." Saying that, he didn't care about his humility, and took the initiative to come forward to help Ying Chu and said, "Let's go." ”

Ying Chu frowned, but he didn't say much, and was almost held hostage and left all the way.

The two went all the way back to the prince's mansion, and the prince seemed to be in a good mood, and ordered the cook to prepare some more delicacies, and he wanted to have a few drinks with Yingchu. Because he knew that Yingchu had a lot of wine, the prince specially ordered someone to prepare the strongest wine and constantly persuaded him to drink at the banquet, which meant that he laughed at the grudge. Seeing that the prince was so enthusiastic, Ying Chu clearly wanted to take this opportunity to reconcile with himself, so it was not good to push back too much, but after drinking a few cups, Ying Chu couldn't support it a little, so he had to confess to the prince, and then fell asleep on the table.

The prince saw that his heart was cold and said a few times, then he stood up and walked out of the living room, and said to the commander of his guards: "Kill him immediately!" ”

The commander of the guards was taken aback, and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, please think twice, Lord Ying is the ...... of the queen's mother's side."

Before he finished his words, he heard the prince say sharply: "What I told you to do, if you can't do it, come to see you!" ”

Hearing that the prince gritted his teeth, it was clear that he hated Ying Chu, and the commander of the guard couldn't help gritting his teeth, and immediately said, "Yes, Your Highness!" After speaking, he took a dozen or so guards straight into the living room, as soon as he entered his throat, he was strangled by Ying Chu who was standing behind the bead curtain, unable to move, it turned out that Ying Chu had not drunk the wine that the prince brought him just now, and every time he drank the wine glass, he skillfully spit the wine back into his sleeve, and used a blinding method to hide the prince's eyes. And the voice of the prince discussing with people outside the palace just now reached his ears.

The guards who followed the Guardian Commander all the way panicked, and a dozen or so people stepped forward to attack Ying Chu, forcing him to let go of the Commander. The commander of the guards only felt that the iron hands almost suffocated him, and at this moment he was saved, and coughed several times and said angrily: "I have followed the will of the prince, and I will be killed!" Let's go together! He immediately called the others to attack each other fiercely, after all, Yingchu was only one person, and he couldn't defeat a dozen or so wolf-like guards no matter what, and after a while, he was subdued by them. Countless sharp knives pierced Ying Chu's body, and after a while, he was stabbed all over with bloody holes, until the person was motionless, and the commander of the guard went up to probe his snort, turned around and nodded to everyone: "It's out of breath." ”

Hearing the sound of flesh being slashed by a sword, the prince smiled coldly outside, and after a while, he saw the commander of the guard come out and report to him: "Your Highness, the man is dead. ”

The prince smiled, "Well done!" ”

This time, the prince felt that he had done a wonderful thing, because Ying Chu was too hateful, he not only wanted Leng Lian to come to his side as a secret agent, but also constantly threatened her to do things for him, monitoring himself, once Leng Lian was not under his control, he even wanted to kill Leng Lian! Such a person staying by the side of the queen mother will only alienate the relationship between their mother and son, and he is thinking about the queen mother for the sake of getting rid of a traitorous minister! Thinking of this, the prince said twice: "The corpse will be thrown into the moat for me, and the news will be released tomorrow, saying that Yingchu was drunk, fell into the moat for a while, and died!" When he said the last two words, he couldn't control the hideousness and smugness between his eyebrows.

The guard commander was heartbroken, and hurriedly whispered: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince didn't know that he had just ordered someone to throw Ying Chu's body into the moat, and the secret agent who had been keeping an eye on him reported the news to Yuan Lie. Subsequently, Yuan Lie quickly rushed to the Qi State Mansion and told Li Weiyang the good news, Li Weiyang was not surprised, but said lightly: "Oh, the prince started so quickly." ”

Yuan Lie's eyes lit up: "The prince's invitation, as a courtier, he didn't dare to push it down no matter what, who knew that the other party would want his life!" This is also the fate of that Yingchu! ”

Li Weiyang stood quietly with his eyes down, and when he heard his words, he bowed his head slightly, and hummed softly, as if he was thinking about something. Yuan Lie finished speaking briskly, and seeing that her expression did not move, doubts arose in his heart, so he chuckled and said, "What's wrong with you?" Aren't you happy to get rid of your henchmen? ”

Li Weiyang smiled softly: "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I think this thing came too quickly and too easily." She winked at him.

Yuan Lie was stunned when he heard this, and his mind was already a little clear, but he was silent: "You don't really want to see this scene?" used Concubine Lian and that rumor to sow discord and make the prince and Yingchu kill each other, but now do you think it's inappropriate? ”

Li Weiyang's eyes were clear and said, "Maybe I'm too suspicious, or maybe ...... Ying Chu is not as powerful as I thought. ”

Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Yuan Lie breathed tightly, and couldn't help but smile: "Ying Chu is dead, and he was killed by the crown prince, this matter has nothing to do with us!" Even if someone investigates it afterwards, it is the prince who has committed the crime of killing the court officials for no reason, and when the time comes, his great queen mother will be the first to not spare him, let's wait and see the show! ”

Li Weiyang chuckled and nodded, and then she said in a low voice: "It's getting late, you can go back quickly." ”

Yuan Lie was stunned for a moment when he saw the cold light in the other party's eyes, and then suddenly laughed, his eyes were brighter than the stars, and there seemed to be a sly light flashing by, so he took advantage of the situation and hugged her, kissed her on the forehead, and whispered: "You can sleep peacefully today, rest early!" Then he quickly disappeared into the courtyard.

Li Weiyang looked at his back, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead, but he smiled softly.

At this time, the cold wind of the night hit in gusts, the cold was pressing, Zhao Yue hurriedly walked over and put on a cloak for Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Go back, I should also be settled." Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Zhao Yue hurriedly ordered someone to arrange it.

Zhao Yue didn't expect that at the moment when she and Li Weiyang entered the house together, a black shadow flashed and flew to the shadow in the corner of the wall while she was unprepared, and he skillfully used the slight wind to hide his whereabouts. People with strong martial arts are good at the unity of "hand, eye, body, method, and step", when the man in black was dozens of steps away from this courtyard, he had already noticed that the small courtyard was already full of secret guards, and he sneered: "It's up to you, you also want to block me, wishful thinking!" ”

When he found a wild cat lying on the wall not far away, he picked up a fallen leaf on the ground, flipped his fingers, and the blade flew directly towards the cat. Taking advantage of the distraction of those secret guards, he dodged and landed lightly on the roof of the main house. Slowly uncovering a piece of tiles and looking into the room, I saw a woman lying on the bed sleeping soundly, covered by heavy curtains, but she couldn't see her figure clearly. He secretly laughed in his heart that the other party was really deceived, and was about to start, when he suddenly felt the sound of wind galloping behind him, and hurriedly turned back, but saw a brocade boy flying to the roof as steadily as himself, he was not in a hurry, just sneered, and with a "click" under his feet, he deliberately stepped on several pieces of eaves, and had fallen into the house.

Yuan Lie didn't panic to chase after him, but said coldly: "Whoever catches alive will have a bounty of one hundred taels!" As soon as he gave the order, the guards rushed up, surrounding the small courtyard and the inside and outside. Knowing that he was surrounded by a heavy burden, the man in black did not panic, and flew out a hidden weapon with a faint blue light, shooting directly at Li Weiyang on the soft couch. I saw that the person who was supposed to be sleeping suddenly rose from the bed and avoided the darts. Seeing that the other party's body was like electricity, the man in black was taken aback, and took a closer look at the other party's complexion, but saw that although this woman was also born well, she was heroic and hearty, and it was not Li Weiyang at all!

He immediately knew that he had been fooled, and quickly sent out more than a dozen hidden weapons, "whooshing" to all the guards who rushed into the house, his angle was extremely clever, and the shape of the secret weapon was strange, and it seemed to be infected with poison, just hit the skin of the person and made a piercing "squeak" sound, only to see a guard who was injured by him after the hidden weapon The whole person's skin began to fester, and he fell to the ground after screaming loudly, and his face was swollen and painful. Someone next to him went to help him, but he was lightly beaten, and he even screamed and fell down together, obviously infected with the same poison as him, and rolled on the ground, mourning all over the field for a while. Rao is Yuanlie couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this, and he immediately decided: "Don't touch the poisoned person!" ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw a puff of smoke rise, and the man in black had already disappeared out of thin air, Yuan Lie's eyes were cold: "This guy is really cunning!" ”

At this time, Li Weiyang walked out of the compartment next to her, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh softly and said, "Ying Chu really didn't die. ”

Yuan Lie sneered and said, "Count his fate!" When Li Weiyang glanced at him, he understood, and deliberately said those words to make the other party think that he was fooled, but he really came! It can be seen that Ying Chu is not only scheming, but also ruthless, and dares to break into the Guo family alone, which can be described as bold.

Director Guo, who had just learned the news and rushed into the yard, saw the scene in the house, his expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but say, "Sister, what happened?" ”

Li Weiyang shook his head lightly and said: "Ying Chu deliberately pretended to be dead in front of the prince, just to make me believe that he is dead, people are easy to get carried away when they are proud, he chose to come to ambush tonight, and he is most likely to succeed." ”

Director Guo looked at Zhao Yue, who was wearing Li Weiyang's clothes on the side, and suddenly realized: "You are suspicious, so that he thinks that you will relax your vigilance tonight!" ”

Li Weiyang's eyes were full of water: "It's not a divine calculation, but I feel uneasy in my heart, this is a strange intuition, I think someone may come to kill me today, so I asked Zhao Yue to make some arrangements in advance." It's the fifth brother, why are you here? ”

Director Guo said a little embarrassedly: "I saw that the moonlight was very good today, so I came out for a turn, but I heard a noise in the courtyard here, so I hurried over." ”

Li Weiyang nodded slightly, but heard Yuan Lie say coldly: "The other party's martial arts are strong, and the hidden weapons on his body are all highly poisonous, I really can't imagine that if you were lying on the bed at that time, now I am afraid that you have ......" He did not finish his words, but his face was faintly pale.

Li Weiyang said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much, since he has already been here today, he will not use this method again in the future, and I am safe for the time being." ”

Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Yuan Lie did not relax because of this, he said in a low voice: "This person is not only cunning, but also quite strategic, you must be more careful in the future." ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "If he is so easy to deal with, how can he become a henchman by the queen's side?" ”

Early the next morning, the crown prince entered the palace to greet the queen, and then he suddenly mentioned something as if inadvertently, "The queen mother, do you know that a major event has happened outside, and a person has floated on the moat......"

Empress Pei looked at him with a smile, and her eyes did not distinguish between joy and anger. The prince couldn't help but say in his heart: "This person is Yingchu beside the queen mother...... Alas, it is also his fate, but he fell into the moat because he was drunk and lost his life in vain, but it is a pity that the queen mother cultivated him carefully, and it was all in vain. Mother, don't be too sad......"

Empress Pei smiled coldly, looked at the prince and said leisurely: "He didn't fall into it drunk, he was thrown in!" ”

The prince's face turned pale suddenly, after all, he didn't have Pei Hou's deep scheming, and he couldn't help but be a little frightened at this time, but he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and said with a calm smile on his face: "Ah! Someone threw it in? Alas, it's not surprising that he offends too many people on weekdays...... The Queen Mother, for the sake of his devotion to you, give you a good burial. ”

Empress Pei's smile became even colder, she looked at her son, and at this moment she was not just disappointed in him, but extremely bored.

Looked at by Empress Pei like that, the prince almost subconsciously left his seat, and he muttered, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Empress Pei sighed lightly: "You kid really disappointed me!" ”

Hearing Empress Pei say this, the prince was taken aback, and he immediately said, "Queen Mother, could it be that you suspect that I have done something to Lord Ying?" He has so many enemies, most of them don't want him to die? Could it be that he fell into the moat, and the queen mother suspected that I did it? You think too highly of me, how dare I touch your beloved courtiers! ”

Empress Pei smiled indifferently, but her tone was as soft as a sigh: "Did you do it, just ask Ying Chu to know." ”

Rao is prince spit lotus flowers in his mouth, and his tongue was like a spring, and his face couldn't help but change greatly: "How can a dead man answer?" ”

Empress Pei looked at the beauty screen on the side, the prince looked at her suspiciously, only to see a man in green clothes slowly walking out behind the screen, the half of the silver mask was shining, it was Ying Chu who should have been in the moat! The crown prince was greatly frightened, he took three steps back suddenly, and said in disbelief: "It's you?" How are you still alive? ”

Ying Chu smiled lightly, bowed to the prince, and gracefully lived like a demon: "His Royal Highness the prince, Ying Chufu has a great life, and he will not die so lightly no matter what!" I want to thank you for your trouble. ”

Hearing Ying Chu say such words, the prince's whole face could already be described as earthy, he pointed at Ying Chu, almost speechless with fright. Ying Chu took a step forward, and the prince took a step back, until he retreated to the wall, and there was almost no way to retreat, he puffed up his chest, but his voice couldn't suppress the trembling: "How did you escape?" ”

Ying Chu just smiled: "It's just a little trick to make the prince think that I have already obeyed, Your Highness, the next time you kill someone, you must personally confirm whether I have lost my breath." ”

Hearing him say this, the prince's gaze couldn't help but wander over him, but seeing that Yingchu didn't have half of the wounds on his body, the prince couldn't help but say angrily: "Those guards, they dare to deceive me!" ”

Ying Chu smiled even more: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really wrong to blame them, it's just some tricks on the rivers and lakes, how can those guards not believe it?" ”

The prince didn't think that Ying Chu was still alive, and he couldn't imagine that he had become a pawn of the other party, and he muttered: "You are such a terrible madman!" ”

Ying Chu's elegant posture was casual and relaxed, he suddenly took two steps back, knelt down to the prince and said: "Your Highness's resentment against Ying Chu, Wei Chen understands it very well in his heart, but the enemy is at present, I hope His Royal Highness will not miss the old hatred, and can join hands with Wei Chen to deal with that Guo Jia!" ”

The prince looked at him, but his heart sank inexplicably, almost falling to the bottom, and finally he shook his head and said: "You are deep in thought, I can't calculate you!" As he spoke, he strode away, but when he crossed the threshold, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing the back of the prince in the distance, Empress Pei sighed lightly and said, "Your action also failed yesterday. ”

Ying Chu turned his head to look at Empress Pei, but there was a little pity on his face: "Niangniang, Guo Jia designed the prince to kill me." I also took this opportunity to let her down her guard, but unexpectedly, this woman was too cunning and actually saw through my mind! It was a shame that I went to kill her myself last night and still didn't succeed. ”

Empress Pei looked at Ying Chu and smiled, her voice was gentle, but with a bone-eroding coolness: "The prince underestimated you, why didn't you underestimate Guo Jia?" If she was so easy to deal with, how could An Guo and Lin'an both die at her hands? You'd better be careful. ”

Ying Chu smiled and said: "After this incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not do anything to me lightly, the death hole on my body is only known to Niangniang, unless Niangniang wants to kill me one day, no one can ask me for Yingchu's life!" ”

Hearing what he said so confidently, Empress Pei smiled faintly and said calmly: "Naturally, I won't." ”

Ying Chu thought about these words carefully, and for a long time, his heart was turbulent, but he just smiled slightly and lowered his eyes.
