Since Han Yan took the Tingwei Mansion into custody, Liu Che personally summoned Tingwei Zhang Tang and instructed him to investigate the matter thoroughly, and at the same time transferred Wei Qing to assist Zhang Tang in investigating the case.

Wei Qing is also worried, over the years, Han Yan has also been a teacher and friend to him, a person worthy of trust and trust, he never believes that Han Yan's person will do things to kill people in the cholera harem. Therefore, he has never stopped tracking down these days, but on the day of the incident, he asked all the insiders in detail several times, but he did not find any clues in favor of Han Yan, and in addition to being disappointed, he still did not give up every possibility, he believed that it was only a matter of time, and one day he would definitely be able to return Han Yan's innocence.

"Qing'er, it's almost winter, this is the cotton clothes for Lord Han, and you can bring this pot of wine too." For Han Yan, Wei Zifu is no less worried than him, she has seen Wei Qing's rapid growth over the years, and her gratitude to Han Yan is also in her heart, although she can't run around for Han Yan like Wei Qing, but as long as she can do nothing.

"Sister, I'm tired of you!" Wei Qing took the cotton clothes and wine, and said to Wei Zifu, "I'll take it to Master Han first." ”

"Okay." Wei Zifu looked at Wei Qing's worried look, and comforted him with kind words, "Qing'er, don't be too anxious, Lord Han has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely turn the crisis into safety!" ”

"Hmm..."Wei Qing bowed his head slightly, and said with a hesitation on his face: "I always feel that Lord Han has something to hide from the events of that day..."

"You mean, you doubt Lord Han?" Wei Zifu was taken aback when he heard this.

"Nope! No! Sister, that's not what I meant! I never doubted Lord Han! Wei Qing hurriedly denied it, but said a little helplessly, "I just think that Lord Han knows the inside story of the day, but he keeps his mouth shut about me." ”

"Qing'er, are you thinking too much?" Wei Zifu looked at his younger brother and said, "If Lord Han really knows the inside story, why don't you tell you and overturn the case for himself?" ”

"That's what I couldn't figure out." Wei Qing frowned and said, "That day, Prime Minister Tian Wei kept saying that he saw Lord Han commit murder, and every time I talked about it with Lord Han, he would avoid it intentionally or unintentionally. ”

"Could it be that Lord Han doesn't want to bring it up again?" Wei Zifu guessed.

"Probably not!" Wei Qing thought about it and shook his head, and said: "Not only that, after the Queen Mother went to the Imperial Garden with Lord Huainan Weng that day, there should be three people on duty in the dormitory, among which the deacon eunuch happened to have abdominal pain and went to the toilet at that time, and he was not at the scene. The other two palace maids, one of them was the deceased Ping'er, and the other palace maid said that she was broken away by Ping'er under the pretext that she was not at the scene, isn't it too much of a coincidence? ”

Wei Zifu's expression became solemn when he heard this, "You mean, Lord Han had planned this matter early in the morning?" ”

Wei Qing nodded with a heavy face, and continued: "If Lord Han really has a personal relationship with Na Ping'er, how can he choose to meet in the Queen Mother's bedroom?" And the servant girl who was with the same Ping'er would know that Lord Han would definitely come early in the morning, and it happened that at this time, the deacon eunuch went to the toilet with abdominal pain, and the hall was empty, and it just so happened that Prime Minister Tian Wei went inside to say hello, and it was even more just right that he saw Lord Han's murder. Sister, don't you think there are too many coincidences in this matter? ”

Wei Zifu listened to what Wei Qing said, nodded slowly, and said, "Since Prime Minister Tian Wei is suspicious, why don't you ask Lord Han what you think in your heart?" It is a matter of life and death and reputation, Lord Han will not ignore it, if he insists on refusing to tell the inside story, there must be a reason, you go to the Tingwei Mansion, you might as well say it more thoroughly. ”

"Good!" Wei Qing nodded and said, "That's all there is to it now!" ”

-----

There is a place in the Tingwei Mansion, called Tingwei Imperial Prison, which is dedicated to the detention of guilty ministers and local governors, and Han Yan is locked up here. As soon as Wei Qing entered the edict with cotton clothes and wine, he saw two jailers holding a prisoner with a full beard walking towards him. ”

Wei Qing looked around in surprise when he heard this, but he didn't see anyone else, so he couldn't help asking, "Can you shout Wei Qing at your feet?" ”

The prisoner nodded and smiled, "Exactly! The ugly people in the countryside know a lot about the art of face-to-face, and today they have a fate with Wei Gongzi, and the rough people are willing to meet each other for Gongzi. ”

Wei Qing smiled and declined: "Wei Qing has never been good at immortal skills, thank you for your good intentions." ”

The prisoner didn't care, looked at Wei Qing and looked up and laughed: "The son is unspeakably precious in this life, and he will be a marquis in the future!" ”

Wei Qing smiled indifferently and said, "Thank you for your auspicious words, Wei Qing wants three meals to be fed, where can he hope to be a marquis?" ”

"Childe is indifferent and admirable! However, the way of heaven is hidden, how can the world see through the mysteries? With that, the prisoner laughed and departed with the jailer.

Seeing this, Wei Qing smiled freely, did not stop, walked quickly inside, and walked down two more steps, which was where Han Yan was held. The prison was dark, lit by the torches on the wall, Wei Qing came to the cell where Han Yan was held, the space of the cell was small, and only a small skylight on the top was used to ventilate, at this time Han Yan was looking up at the ray of light leaking from the skylight as if in thought, Wei Qing called softly: "Lord Han! ”

Han Yan turned around when she heard this, and saw that it was Wei Qing who smiled slightly and nodded accordingly.

"Lord Han, this is the cotton clothes and wine that my sister prepared for you." Wei Qing handed it over through the bar, Han Yan stretched out her hand to take it, and thanked: "Mrs. Lao Wei bothered!" ”

"Your Excellency has seen the outside!" Wei Qing said, "My sister, like Wei Qing, believes that adults have been wronged, and we are all waiting for the day when adults are released from prison!" ”

Han Yan smiled and bowed, Wei Qing said, "My lord, think about it again, did you miss anything about the day?" ”

Han Yan shook her head and said, "I told you all about the situation that day, and there was nothing missing. ”

"But..."Wei Qing's gaze looked directly at Han Yan, "My lord, Prime Minister Tian Wei personally saw you commit murder that day, do you have no objection to this?" ”

Han Yan's face froze slightly when she heard this, and she immediately said calmly: "At that time, I had already raised my objection, but didn't my words confirm my crime?" ”

Wei Qing said: "The words can only show that the dead palace maid Ping'er has personal affairs with others, and it does not prove that this matter must be related to adults." ”

"But so what?" Han Yan sighed slightly, "Who believes that it has nothing to do with me?" ”

"Your Majesty believes! Sister believes! Wei Qing also believes! Wei Qing insisted, "We all believe that adults have been wronged, so we must help adults find out the truth!" ”

"The truth?" Han Yan smiled bitterly, "What if you know the truth?" The matter of Changle Palace must have been planned by someone a long time ago, and since the other party has already intended to put me to death, how can he let me get out easily? ”

Wei Qing hurriedly said: "Since the adults know that someone is deliberately framing, how can they sit still and wait for death?" There is always a mistake in everything, adult, think about it again, when the incident happened, did the other party have a flaw? ”

Han Yan nodded lightly and said, "Naturally, there is!" ”

"Speak, sir!" Wei Qing was anxious and happy when he heard this, seeing that Wei Qing was really like this, Han Yan no longer hid it, and said slowly: "At that time, when I just found the palace maid who had died a long time ago in the palace, the prime minister Tian Wei suddenly appeared, called the guards to surround me, and even told me the details of my murder in front of the queen mother. I was surprised, His Majesty sent a message, and after checking it, I knew that this maid was suffocated to death, but the problem is that before His Majesty arrived, I didn't know why this maid died, but Tian Wei told the Queen Mother that I covered this person's mouth and nose and caused her popularity, how did Tian Wei know? Isn't it suspicious that you can see it with your own eyes? ”

Wei Qing nodded and said: "What the adults said is the same as what Wei Qing thinks, Wei Qing is also suspicious of interfering with Prime Minister Tian Wei in this matter, but why does this Tian Wei want to put the adult to death, but he has had a holiday with the adult before?" ”

Han Yan shook her head and said, "I've also thought about this matter, I haven't had anything to do with him, and I can't understand why he framed me for this matter." ”

"In that case, why didn't your lord tell Your Majesty the inside story?" Wei Qing said, "With Your Majesty here, are you still afraid that he will not succeed?" ”

Han Yan had a complicated expression on her face, and said slowly: "I'm not afraid of Tian Wei, but that Tian Wei is the queen mother's own brother, the queen mother has been dissatisfied with me because of the deputy car of the Son of Heaven, and now if I point this point to Tian Wei, the queen mother will definitely be angry, and Your Majesty will definitely not stand idly by. ”

Wei Qing was moved when he heard this: "My lord and His Majesty have a deep relationship, Wei Qing feels it, but have you ever thought about it, no matter how deep the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister is, compared to the mother-son relationship between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty?"

Han Yan said: "That naturally can't be compared!" ”

"That being the case, how can this matter shake the mother-son relationship between His Majesty and the Queen Mother?" Wei Qing said sternly, "Since Tian Wei is the initiator of this matter, he must bear the consequences, how can the adults ignore their own lives and the reputation of the Gong Gaohou family?" ”

"My lord, Wei Qing is going to find Your Majesty!" After saying that, Wei Qing bowed, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Han Yan hurriedly shouted, and Wei Qing stopped, "What's the matter, my lord?" ”

Han Yan let out a long sigh and said to Wei Qing: "I understand what you said, but this matter is not for Your Majesty to understand..."

Wei Qing was puzzled: "Why is this?" ”

Han Yan said: "Just imagine, if you were Tian Wei, would you admit it?" ”

Wei Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "Naturally not!" ”

"That's it!" Han Yan smiled bitterly, "If he doesn't admit it, as long as the Queen Mother is here, His Majesty will be helpless against him!" In this situation, he will inevitably bite to death and deny it, if he admits it, he will be a capital crime, if he does not admit it, I will be a capital crime, do you say Your Majesty can explain it? ”

Wei Qing pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what the result is, I still have to tell Your Majesty the inside story of this matter, Tian Wei's side, I will definitely find a way to force out the truth!" ”

"Take care, my lord!" After that, Wei Qing left the edict without looking back.
