As soon as I changed my clothes, I heard someone outside coming to say that Rong Fangfang wanted to see her.

Rong Fangfang is stupid, once and twice, Wei Qingqing is also used to it, and this time, he also doesn't plan to see her.

"The father-in-law in the palace has been waiting for a long time, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see each other."

Wei Qingqing changed her clothes and came out, and with a faint word, the people who talked back and forth understood the meaning, turned around and went out.

Wei Qingqing entered the palace this time and didn't bring Lan Sheng and Lan Zhi because they had more important things to do.

"Don't make any movement for the time being, and it's not too late to make plans after you are sure to leave."

"Once there is any movement in the palace, you immediately contact Qiu Yue and sister-in-law, and ask them to bring the Wei family and the people of the Zhu family to the Guogong Mansion."

“……”

After explaining, the time for a cup of tea has passed.

When Wei Qingqing left, Lan Zhi was not at ease: "Don't you wait for the second master to come back before making plans?" ”

"The second master must have expected it."

Wei Qingqing didn't feel half disappointed for some reason, she was not a delicate woman who needed a man's protection all the time, and Rong Che, she also believed that he would never let himself die in vain.

This trust comes from the heart, without half consideration and hesitation.

When Wei Qingqing went out, she stroked the little life that already existed in her belly, and resolutely stepped into the snowstorm, leaving only the hunting red dress to fly, becoming a moving and gorgeous flower.

When Wei Qingqing was about to arrive in the front yard. I still saw Rong Fangfang.

Rong Fangfang lost her previous pride, and waited in the corner with her neck bent, with sadness and cowardice in her eyes that had not dissipated.

Wei Qingqing's footsteps stopped, looking at the pair of phoenix hairpins she gave to her in order to send the five princes away, her eyes were fixed on her, and she asked, "I can't help you anything." ”

Unexpectedly, Rong Fangfang was not exposed as before, without Wei Qingqing's affirmative answer. Instead, his eyelashes drooped: "I know." ”

This made Wei Qingqing a little surprised.

Rong Fangfang saw that Wei Qingqing didn't leave, but her moist eyes looked at her with scrutiny at the moment, gritted her teeth nervously, and looked up at her: "I want to leave this home." ”

Wei Qingqing was still silent, but she looked at Rong Fangfang and sighed in her heart, it turns out that in this world, stubborn people can also be enlightened, but the price is just the size of the price.

"You are a woman, your mother is newly mourned, unless you die, you have no way out." Wei Qingqing coldly cut off her fantasies, in this case, if she still has unrealistic fantasies, she will be on a dead end.

A trace of loss crossed Rong Fangfang's face, and then she gritted her teeth and looked at Wei Qingqing with a firm gaze: "I know." So I thought, go to the temple to hold a funeral for my mother. ”

"Monks?" Wei Qingqing asked her.

Rong Fangfang's eyes were confused for a moment, and then they became moist. didn't affirm Wei Qingqing's statement, but just suppressed and choked: "I have no other choice, Daddy, he won't let me go." ”

Wei Qingqing saw that she really understood it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Wei Qingqing is not a bad person, but she is not a cold-hearted person, Rong Fangfang doesn't ask for much, she doesn't mind raising her hand and giving her a way to live.

"The emperor attaches great importance to filial piety, this Yuqian Lane lives in the Wei Yushi who is up to the heavens, and there is a scholar who adds ink to the emperor, and Sister Fang wants to do it Since it is a matter of great filial piety, it is the royal nunnery, and she can also go."

Wei Qingqing nodded and left.

After all, now that her mother is dead, she has made everyone known that she wants to go to the royal nunnery to be a nun, which is to rub her grandmother and her father's face on the ground.

The maid ring beside Rong Fangfang saw that Rong Fangfang really wanted to go like this, and her heart was full of bitterness, she didn't want to follow to be a sister-in-law.

"Miss, don't listen to the young lady, she doesn't have any good intentions, she is trying to harm you!" Yahuan persuaded her.

Rong Fangfang's face tightened, and she stared coldly at this girl: "If you dare to say a word to your father today, even if I am trapped in this inner house and can't get out, you and your little lover and your family, don't even want to live!" ”

It was the first time for Yahuan to see such a resolute Rong Fangfang, and she subconsciously wanted to persuade her, but when she saw Rong Fangfang's eyes as if she was going to eat her, she was immediately frightened.

That night, Rong Fangfang lined Rong Minghuo and didn't pay attention, slipped out of the Guogong Mansion, ran to the Wei Mansion and the Zhu Mansion and cried profusely.

By the time Rong Minghuo knew, she had already knelt in front of the nunnery, even if he wore out his mouth, he didn't say that he was moved by Rong Fangfang, and he didn't dare to do anything in front of the royal nunnery, so he had to go back to the Guogong Mansion with a blue face.

The people of the Guogong Mansion went to the empty building, Rong Minghuo was depressed, and turned his head to look for the fifth prince again.

The fifth prince gave him an important task.

"You're saying that's the evidence?"

Rong Minghuo looked at the testimony in his hand, his throat was dry and hoarse, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was actually in a cold sweat and his hands were trembling.

Rong Minghuo raised his head, looked at the fifth prince who was turning the green jade wrench on his thumb, his heart was entangled, and he said cautiously: "Your Highness, it is too risky to do this, and now the emperor is bent on supporting the four princes, and he is about to help him sit on the throne of the crown prince......

Rong Minghuo was actually cowardly, after all, the one-sided momentum of the four princes was too obvious, and he thought that the five princes would not have a chance.

The fifth prince stared at him with a smile, and directly pierced his mind: "Scared? Did you think about getting out of this door, so you went to find Rong Ruizhang and went to see the fourth child. Take His Royal Highness as a vote for your glory and wealth? ”

Rong Minghuo was shocked by his thoughts, and hurriedly knelt down to express his determination.

But the fifth prince is mixed from the three sects and nine streams, and people's hearts are changeable, he has long seen through it, and he never thought that he could make Rong Minghuo truly loyal, he just needs to grasp Rong Minghuo's weakness.

"Who Rong Ruizhang is, you must know better than me. But what kind of person is the fourth child, you are afraid that you can't see through it. ”

The five princes looked sarcastic: "He seems to be gentle and cowardly, but in fact, he is the most narrow-minded and resentful, since you have voted under my door, this feud has already been settled, even if you are sentenced at this time, a traitor like you, do you think he will keep it for you to enjoy all the glory and wealth?" It's naïve. ”

The fifth prince didn't want to lose Rong Minghuo's chess piece at the moment, so he was very patient to talk to him slowly.

Rong Minghuo listened, and there was already a cold sweat behind him.

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"Then ...... evidence," the fifth prince looked at him condescendingly.

"Xiaguan ......" Rong Minghuo still wanted to struggle, only to find that there was no way out: "Xiaguan will present it tomorrow morning." ”

In the palace, Wei Qingqing saw an acquaintance again.

Concubine Chen and Concubine Ru, but now Concubine Ru is no longer a concubine, but a concubine.

Concubine Ru came from the Ma family of the four princesses, she was favored when she entered the palace, and after the death of the prince, she was promoted to a concubine not long after, which shows the emperor's promotion of the four princes.

As for Concubine Chen, the relationship with Concubine Ru is still very good.

"I used to hear Sanniang say that the young lady of the Wei family was born with a beautiful and fragrant country, but now I see it. It's really amazing. ”

In the palace of the Queen Mother, Concubine Chen, who was sitting under the Queen Mother, took the lead in attacking.

The Queen Mother half-closed her eyes, as if she didn't hear it, only Concubine Ru smiled: "If you say that you are surprised, are there still few beautiful women in our harem?" ”

Between the words, there is a lot of disparagement.

But no matter what they said, Wei Qingqing sat calmly in place, like a tall green bamboo, the wind came and went, and it didn't move.

After talking for a long time, Concubine Chen and Concubine Ru also found that Wei Qingqing seemed to not understand their mockery openly and secretly, so they sat there, no matter how difficult they were, she was obedient like a puppet.

After a long time, they will be bored, after all, in front of the Queen Mother, it is not good to do too much.

"Mourning is lacking."

After a long time, the Queen Mother rubbed her eyebrows and looked at Wei Qingqing with a smile: "Your name is Qingqing?" The mourning family used to have a favorite girl named Qingqing, come over and beat the legs for the mourning family. ”

Hearing this, Wei Qingqing didn't know why, her eyes were slightly sour.

Wei Qingqing obediently got up and responded, walked to the side of the queen mother's foot, and began to beat her legs gently. sweet potato

Concubine Chen and Concubine Ru naturally didn't want to stay any longer, so they took their leave.

After they left, the Queen Mother lifted her eyelids and looked at the girl in front of her who was not angry or annoyed, at a young age, her eyes were calm like a pool of water without waves.

"I live in peace here in mourning."

The Queen Mother finished her sentence without a beginning or an end. I really fell asleep with my eyes closed.

Wei Qingqing's heart fell.

The queen mother's words meant to shelter them, even if she wanted to listen to some cold words, she just pretended not to hear them.

When it was nightfall, Wei Qingqing left, and the grandmother who served the Queen Mother came over, with some confusion.

"I don't know why the mourning family protects the Suiguo Mansion?" The Queen Mother sat in front of the dresser, looking at the silver hair combed down on the grate, and without waiting for the person behind her to answer, she laughed, but there was some bitterness in her smile: "The emperor ascended the throne, and it has only been more than ten years, when the first emperor was still there, the two children in the Suiguo Mansion were not hairy children, and at that time the first emperor said that the country must have a bright monarch, but there must be virtuous ministers and capable ministers." ”

"And this Suiguo Mansion, one can be a virtuous minister, and the other can be a capable minister."

The Queen Mother said slowly, as if she was caught in a long memory.

Mama asked, "Then this virtuous minister and capable minister." Is it the eldest son and the second son of the Guogong Mansion? ”

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly: "It's good that the virtuous minister is the eldest prince, but this capable minister refers to the Duke of Suiguo, who has the means and ruthlessness, but he also has benevolence." ”

"The second son......

"That's a wolf, it's a tiger, it's a person who is so ruthless that he can throw away his loyalty and righteousness, if he can't hold it, he can be a thief, a rebel, and a person who destroys my foundation and dies!" The corners of the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with a little coldness, and she lowered her eyelids again: "The mourning family is old, and they can't control the emperor, and the people below them can't do anything." I just ask the mourning family to give him a little favor now, so that he can remember in the future and not be that chaotic minister and thief. ”

Mama was terrified when she heard this, and she remembered how she saw the second son of the Gongfu more than ten years ago.

is obviously a cute little boy with red lips and white jade snow, but when the eldest prince Rong was accused of being a colt and was scolded for defiling the princess, the little boy's clear eyes suddenly became bottomless, making people unable to see the emotions clearly.

After that, the palace people who scolded Prince Rong died mysteriously, but the first emperor didn't let people check it.

Wei Qingqing sat next to the warm couch, and some snow light poured in, reflecting each other with the brilliant lights on the delicate lotus canopy candlestick, adding a bit of coolness to the room.

The palace maid in front of her bowed respectfully, no matter what Wei Qingqing's reaction was, she continued to spread her words: "Xiangye also said, as long as you are willing to agree." This will keep you and your child safe. ”

"He's so sure, this son is the fourth prince?"

Wei Qingqing held the teacup, her face was calm, but her heart made waves.

Rong Ruizhang has placed people in the palace, so the emperor's serious illness must not be hidden from him, come to think of it, the emperor is not pretending to be sick, but he is really dying.

If the emperor suddenly leaves, there is no doubt about the position of the prince. It's the Four Princes.

The palace maid smiled slightly, and did not look up: "The slave maid is lowly, and I don't know what the young lady thinks, but the slave and maid see that the prime minister is affectionate to the young lady, why should the young lady run to death?" And if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your children. ”

"Tell you Xiangye, he bothered, but I was so afraid of the fire that I didn't dare to be burned again." Wei Qingqing was indifferent.

The palace maid was a little confused when she heard it, but she saw Wei Qingqing's eyes glazed. didn't dare to say any more, only left a 'I don't know what to do' look, turned around and left.

After she left, the silver-gray figure standing quietly under the cover of darkness at this moment narrowed his fox eyes dangerously, revealing a murderous aura.

The next day, the palace maid 'stumbled' and fell into the dry well in the palace and fell to her death.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

Wei Qingqing waited for the palace maid to leave, pursed her lips and crossed her legs and pinched the teacup angrily for a long time, as if the teacup was Rong Ruizhang, and she only wanted to strangle to death before she was deflated, knowing that the window moved, driving a gust of cold wind.

"Guards ...... outside"

Wei Qingqing looked at the person who came, and before she finished her worried words, her lips were soft.

Cool, sweet.

Wei Qingqing raised the corners of his lips and looked at him who was close at hand: "The second master is used to being bold, and he should consider it for us who are timid." ”

"Cowardly? Does Qingqing mean me? Rong Che naturally fished her into his arms.

Wei Qingqing smiled and bent her eyes, they were two bold people.

Wei Qingqing told him the Queen Mother's attitude today: "It seems that the Queen Mother knows what the emperor is doing, and it seems that she also expected what will happen." ”

"Hmm."

At the mention of the Queen Mother, Rong Che's expression sank, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly told her about the plan.

Rong Che didn't hide it from Wei Qingqing anymore, he knew that she was not an ordinary woman in the house, she could also come out and carry the burden on her shoulders with her, and he thought that she would be even happier like this.

Sure enough, when Rong Che spoke, Wei Qingqing's eyes were always shining, and he could make a few effective suggestions from time to time.

Until the third watch passed, Rong Che had to get up and leave.

"Tomorrow there will be chaos in the court." Rong Che sneered: "The emperor's pulse is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter, and soon, the capital will be in chaos." ”

Wei Qingqing was secretly glad in her heart that she had prepared early.

The next day, when the four princes happily supervised the state and assisted in political affairs, and purged the people under the former princelings and the three princes' parties, Rong Minghuo directly begged the emperor's bedroom. Presented the guilt.

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, this indictment had already flown into every household in the capital like a flurry of paper, and for a while, the capital was boiling.

The four princes and Rong Ruizhang hurriedly entered the palace to ask for a meeting, but the emperor did not meet for the time being on the grounds of serious illness, but he did not immediately punish the crime, so that the four princes still managed the government normally.

The four princes were not at ease, and immediately sent the four princesses into the palace to ask the queen mother for peace, but the queen mother rejected them on the grounds of the recurrence of the old disease.

For a while, everyone couldn't guess what the emperor meant.

As soon as Wei Qingqing came out of the Empress Dowager's palace, she was directly invited to her palace by Concubine Ru.

Wei Qingqing wore a vermilion embroidered peony dress today, the long skirt was flying, the peony seemed to be blooming, it was not gorgeous, and Wei Qingqing's face was cold, her eyes were charming, and she really pressed down on a luxurious body, as if she was born to be so flamboyant.

And this flamboyance. It makes her even more beautiful.

When she saw the jealousy and dissatisfaction in Concubine Ru's eyes, Wei Qingqing pretended not to see it, and still saluted without humility or arrogance.

Now that she has entered the palace, she just wants to be so public, so that everyone's eyes will fall on her, so that if Concubine Ru and Concubine Chen want to attack her, they must also weigh it.

"Please invite the young lady to come today, the young lady is a smart person, I must know what this concubine means." Concubine Ru was familiar with the question.

But what she didn't expect was that Wei Qingqing would be so direct.

"The Queen Mother is not sick, she deliberately did not see the mothers and the four princesses." Wei Qingqing spoke directly.

Concubine Ru was stunned, but Concubine Chen on the side was much smarter than her, and her face turned a little pale at the moment: "The Queen Mother knows the emperor's thoughts best, if so, does the emperor really blame His Royal Highness this time?" ”

Concubine Ru gritted her teeth and stared at Wei Qingqing like a poisonous snake: "What you said is true?" ”

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the emperor's heart palace to have a look, or ask the emperor's father-in-law Fan." Wei Qingqing smiled lightly.

Fan Li is the emperor's confidant, but people always want to live.

Now that the emperor's life is short, Fan Li, who is closest to the emperor, will naturally go to the successor closest to that position.

Concubine Ru also figured out this layer, and she didn't care about making things difficult for Wei Qingqing, so she went straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

It wasn't until the emperor refused, and Fan Li only said half a useful word in front of her, and even promised that he couldn't buy half a cent, that the four princes and their henchmen finally understood.

The emperor allowed the four princes to be so beautiful, not to make him the prince, but to make him this budding bird!

When Wei Qingqing watched Rong Ruizhang's eyeliner appear in front of her eyes again, her mood was already much calmer, she raised her hand and picked up the tea, not as cold as last time, but smiled slightly: "Tell your family master, if you don't want to die, let him come to his aunt in person, crying and begging!" ”
