Chapter 178: Hell on Earth
"Come on, this king doesn't believe that you don't know the seriousness of this matter, if the father wants to investigate this matter, the third brother's power in the court, presumably the imperial sister-in-law still knows it in her heart, the third brother is really ruthless, in order to save the imperial sister-in-law, he did not hesitate to point the finger at his younger brother, and also risked being punished by his father, the third brother and the third sister-in-law are really admired by the imperial brother." Wei Cheng said deliberately, Su Zhenzhen heard this, her face changed slightly, and she was silent.
In order to protect Su Zhenzhen, Wei Han planted eyeliner in prison, so as soon as Wei Cheng came, Wei Han's eyeliner reported the matter to the past, so Wei Han immediately rushed over, he was afraid that the fourth prince would do something unfavorable to Su Zhenzhen.
Wei Cheng's heart was angry, originally wanted to ask Su Zhenzhen clearly, what was going on, Wei Cheng also found a few other people to testify, in order to wait for Su Zhenzhen to tell the truth, they waited for others to let the news out, but Su Zhenzhen didn't follow Wei Cheng's way, so Wei Cheng's heart was angry, but he was very helpless.
"What are you doing here, this king's concubine, I don't need you to shush the cold and ask for warmth." Wei Han suddenly appeared behind Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng looked over, and a layer of yin suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Wei Han ignored Wei Cheng and walked straight to Su Zhenzhen, looked at Su Zhenzhen with concern, and confirmed that Su Zhenzhen was not injured, Wei Cheng saw Wei Han coming, helplessly with anger, turned around and left.
"Lord, he came to the concubine to ask about the concubine, but the concubine insisted on him and told him not to explain and speak at that time." Su Zhenzhen said proudly.
"This king guessed that he would not be able to resist coming to you."
"Lord Wang, it's been almost a day, how are things going?" Su Zhenzhen asked with concern on her face.
"My father already knows, but he hasn't made any moves there yet, and the emperor's grandmother and queen mother, and everyone in the palace know about it, so it will definitely attract the attention of my father, and then we will be half successful." Wei Kan's face was a little happy, today was completely better than he expected, as far as he knew, after Taihou knew about it, he lost his temper, and told Mama Li about it, and the emperor would be a little heavy after he found out.
Su Zhenzhen leaned on Wei Han's face, staring intently at Wei Han's handsome face, and remembered the words that Wei Chengfang had just said in her mind, the man in front of her really gambled everything for himself, Su Zhenzhen's mood was very complicated, and she didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Wei Han noticed Su Zhenzhen's abnormality and asked with concern, but Su Zhenzhen shook her head and told Wei Han that she was just a little tired and had nothing else to do.
"Tomorrow, when I go to the early court, my father's side will probably know about it. Don't worry, this king will take you out. Wei Han hugged Su Zhenzhen comfortingly, and gently dropped a kiss on Su Zhenzhen's forehead.
The Imperial Study
"Weichen see the emperor." An official who is close to the emperor on weekdays came in to ask for peace.
"Aiqing, what happened to the matter I asked you to investigate."
"Back to the emperor, Weichen has investigated clearly, the power of the three princes in the court is indeed not small, and there is indeed a minister in the court who is more inclined to the three princes, but the three princes have not had any close contact with them in private, so they are only unilaterally optimistic about the three princes."
After listening to the words of the counselor, the emperor was much more relieved, the emperor also came from the stage of the prince, what these princes thought in their hearts, the emperor's heart is actually like a mirror, so even if the three princes have personal power in the court, the emperor will not blame anything, such a phenomenon has been normal for generations.
"I know, I want to hear your opinion on this matter," the emperor looked at the counselor.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's time for you to weaken the sharpness of the four princes, although the power of the three princes is greater, but the current situation, the three princes will not have any deviant behavior, and then the four princes can take the opportunity to teach a lesson, and the power of the three princes needs to be slowly weakened in the future, but this is like wheat stubble, if one batch is cut, another batch will come out, if the three princes have no other intentions, it doesn't hurt to keep it."
The counselor calmly analyzed in front of the emperor now, without the slightest emperor, the counselor has always been a person who dares to speak and speak directly, and the emperor is also an enlightened monarch, so he will adopt good words.
The emperor nodded approvingly, and then told the counselor to go back, he needed to think about this matter carefully.
"Lord Wang, it's not too early, you can take August back quickly, go back early to rest, and go to the morning court tomorrow." Su Zhenzhen comforted.
"Then the king will come to see you tomorrow after the morning court."
After Wei Han went back, Su Zhenzhen stayed alone in the cell, she came here and experienced a lot of things, the only thing to be thankful for was to know Wei Han and become her princess, if she had never been here, she might still choose to meet Wei Han in this strange place.
Mrs. Cheng was taught a hard lesson by August yesterday, her whole face was swollen, even if she put on the ice cubes that Mei Niang asked someone to send, it was useless, she still had a swollen face, she hid in the house for a day and didn't go out, and even her lunch was eaten in the house.
"Lord Wang, you're back." Mei Niang was sitting in the hall and drinking tea quietly. Hearing the sound outside, I looked up and saw that it was Wei Han back.
"Hmm." Wei Han answered, saw Mei Niang sitting here, turned around and left.
Mei Niang's eyes suddenly darkened, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, is the prince so unwilling to see himself, he is not willing to stay by his side for a moment, even if he is cheeky and sticks it, he still can't get any response. I thought that Su Zhenzhen's imprisonment was a happy thing, but now the time in prison took up more than half of the day, Mei Niang smiled helplessly twice, and went back to her room.
"Oh, tap, look at whether Concubine Ben's face is still swollen." Mrs. Cheng asked the maid who was applying ice to herself.
"Princess, it's still a little swollen, but it's much better than Fang Cai." In fact, there is no difference at all, it is still the same as at the beginning, the little maid is just afraid of being scolded by Mrs. Cheng, so she panicked.
Mei Niang thought that she hadn't seen Mrs. Cheng for a day today, and Mrs. Cheng had been taught a lesson yesterday, Mei Niang felt that she should go over to see how Mrs. Cheng was doing now, so Mei Niang got up and went to the opposite yard, Mrs. Cheng.
"Sister, sister has come to see you." Mei Niang had a smile on her face.
"Concubine Ben is fine, what's so good-looking, according to Concubine Ben, you just came to see Concubine Ben's jokes." Mrs. Cheng glared at Mei Niang, when the prince was angry and punished himself yesterday, you left first, and I couldn't help but feel a little angry in my heart.
"Look at my sister, how can I think of my sister so much, yesterday the prince was angry, and my sister wanted to help my sister say a few good words, but my sister was stupid, and I was afraid of making the prince even more angry, so I didn't dare to speak." Mei Niang explained.
"Hmph, this concubine is too lazy to bother with you." Mrs. Cheng glanced at Mei Niang, Mei Niang suppressed the anger in her heart, she came to see her kindly, and he still said such things, he really deserved it.
"Sister should rest well, and I will go to Concubine Hui with my sister tomorrow." Mei Niang reminded Mrs. Cheng, whether to go or not, Mei Niang said it now, Mrs. Cheng forgot that she would go to Concubine Hui's palace tomorrow, but with this pig's face, how to go out to meet people, Mrs. Cheng's tears were about to come out, Mei Niang looked at Mrs. Cheng like this, a trace of pride flashed in her eyes, and she turned around and left.
After Wei Cheng returned to his house, he thought of Wei Han, Su Zhenzhen and his wife were very annoyed and angry, it seems that Su Zhenzhen is determined to eat herself, and she is still pulling a cushion when she is dying, when she goes to the morning court tomorrow, how to explain it to her father, Wei Cheng thought of this, he felt uncomfortable, and he didn't eat dinner, so he went back to the room early to rest.
Success or failure is tomorrow when the morning court comes, so Su Zhenzhen can't help but be a little nervous, lying on the haystack and turning over and over and can't sleep, looking at the stars in the sky through the window on the wall in the prison, the last time she could enjoy the night sky, it was not long after this time, when she was locked up in the Qinglou, but this time she changed places, and she made people, Su Zhenzhen slowly closed her eyes.
The next morning, because he was going to the court, Wei Cheng got up very early, he didn't sleep well last night, and he was a little tired, but the current situation was a little unfavorable to him, so he couldn't have dinner compared to his father, so Wei Cheng hurriedly ate two bites of breakfast and went to the court.
As soon as Wei Cheng entered the main hall of the palace, he saw Wei Han standing there early, very energetic, Wei Cheng's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, and it didn't take long for the emperor to come.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The emperor sat firmly on the throne, and everyone knelt on the ground neatly, saying hello to the emperor in unison.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat."
"Your Majesty."
"There is a lot of gossip in the palace today, and you all know that these things are the most annoying thing on weekdays, but there is no wind and no waves. I really want to know that there are people who are so anxious to replace me now. The emperor said these words, but there was no change in expression on his face, but the tone of his voice was very sharp, the emperor's eyes stayed on Wei Cheng's face, Wei Cheng's face changed slightly, and as expected, the emperor really listened to this matter.
"Father, the emperor has all the opportunities, and the affairs of the court are managed in an orderly manner, under the governance of the emperor, the country and the people are peaceful, how can anyone be so self-conscious and want to replace his father."
When Wei Han heard this, he naturally knew what the emperor meant by this, so he echoed the voice, Wei Cheng's face was very ugly at this time, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.
"Hmph, Cheng'er, I want to hear your thoughts."
"Back to his father's words, the son does not have any deviant thoughts about his father, and I also ask my father not to listen to the villain's slander." Wei Cheng said word by word.
"Yes, then you mean that I am too worried, Wei Cheng, you are so bold, don't think that I don't know what you have done in private." The emperor said angrily, he didn't expect his own son to think about the throne so early.
"The sons didn't dare, and they asked their father to give them a clear warning, and the sons were wronged." Wei Cheng fell to his knees with a puff.
"Okay, what a person who keeps saying that he has been wronged, then why did you go to your imperial sister-in-law on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to find out the news, I can't figure it out, what news is there to inquire about." The emperor scolded Wei Cheng sharply, Wei Cheng listened silently, he knew that even if he said anything at this time, the emperor would not listen to it, so it was better not to say anything.
No matter how he explained this matter to the emperor, but the emperor now recognized that Wei Cheng couldn't wait to take the throne, and didn't listen to Wei Cheng's explanation at all, Wei Han looked at everything loud in front of him, and felt very proud, now Su Zhenzhen was saved.
