The night is as cool as water, and the sky is full of stars.

In the corridor of the apse of Qingning Palace, Wei Qinglin sat on the railing, shaking his legs, looking at the stars in the sky with joy.

She pointed to a few stars in the north and asked, "Brother Mingxuan, the stars over there are like a spoon!" ”

Wen Mingxuan sat beside her, looking at her sideways, with a hint of worry in his gentle eyes.

Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Wei Qinglin turned around: "Brother Mingxuan? Why aren't you happy? ”

"No, Sister told me one thing just now." Wen Mingxuan reached out and wanted to touch her head, but thinking of Wen Qingzhu's words, he still took his hand back.

Wei Qinglin struggled with clear eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wen Mingxuan opened his mouth and pondered for a long time, but he didn't say it.

After staying in the palace for so long, Wei Qinglin slowly learned how to observe words and feelings.

Her smile slowly disappeared, she stretched out her hand to hold Wen Mingxuan's arm, and asked carefully, "Is it that the princess doesn't like me anymore?" ”

"It's not!" Wen Mingxuan looked at Wei Qinglin's reaction, and he couldn't bear it.

But Sister A's affairs can only start from him.

He looked at Wei Qinglin's eyes and said, "I may have to leave the capital for a while, can you stay in the palace first?" ”

"Why?" Wei Qinglin was directly stunned.

Wen Mingxuan was ruthless and said quickly: "Because only you can help Sister A!" You have to stay in the palace and balance the emperor! ”

……

The sound of the water was murmuring, and Wen Qingzhu leaned on the bath and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Someone pushed the door behind her, knelt behind her, and whispered a word in her ear.

Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes and asked coldly, "Lin Lin really agreed?" ”

"Well, that's what Lord Wen said. Do you want to confirm it? Lu Tao was a little worried, after all, Wei Qinglin was younger.

"Not necessarily!"

With a bang, Wen Qingzhu stood up from the water, and Lu Tao took a bath towel behind him and put it on.

At dawn the next day, Wei Qinglin took breakfast and went to wait outside the dormitory of Qianyuan Palace.

The eldest grandson Linlang was a little unsure of his idea, so he kept looking inside.

Seeing that Wei Qinglin had been waiting for a long time, he couldn't help but persuade: "The emperor said, I don't want to see the girl, the girl should go back." ”

"Today, the emperor always has to go to court, and he will always come out." Wei Qinglin was not worried, and stood stubbornly at the door.

After a while, Xiao Fangzi opened the door and walked out.

Seeing Wei Qinglin still standing here, it had been half an hour.

She is such a delicate young lady, with breakfast in her hand, and it is extraordinary that she can last until this time.

He couldn't help but speak: "Miss Wei, the emperor is very tired today, and he is still resting in bed, do you want to go back first?" ”

"Thank you for the reminder, but I think I'm still waiting, I really can't wait." Wei Qinglin replied with a smile, but her hands were already trembling faintly.

Xiao Fangzi wanted to persuade again, but the eldest grandson Linlang quietly tugged at his sleeve.

He closed the door and left.

About two quarters of an hour later, Wei Qinglin finally couldn't hold on, his wrist slanted, the tray fell, and the plate and porcelain bowl shattered on the ground, with a crisp cracking sound.

Wei Qinglin immediately burst into tears and squatted down to pick up things on the ground.

At this moment, the door of the house was opened again, and a small figure appeared in front of him.

She looked up and saw that it was Jiang Yuanhan standing in front of her in pajamas.

"Come in." Jiang Yuanhan bent down and stretched out his hand, took her up, and led her into the house.

When the news reached Huaqing Palace, it was already half an hour later.

In the study, in addition to Wen Qingzhu, there were also Wei Ziying and Fu Yu.

Green Tao came in and walked up to her and told her the news.

Wen Qingzhu nodded, raised his hand to let the green pottery go down, and looked at the two people in front of him with a smile: "The emperor is unwell, he may not go to court in the past few days, if you have anything to do come directly to me, I will send it to the emperor after arranging." ”

Fu Yu didn't react, because he had been listening to the emperor's orders in private.

But Wei Ziying was displeased: "Princess, you are now the regent, but the emperor has been able to handle government affairs alone, so it's okay to let you deal with it instead, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to keep going like this." ”

"Wei Xiangyan is serious, the emperor is indeed unwell today, Wei Qinglin has already brought breakfast to visit, the emperor left her in Qianyuan Palace, seeing that His Majesty's situation is not very serious, I only occasionally replace it, and I will not have other thoughts."

Although Wen Qingzhu mentioned Wei Qinglin, he actually explained himself.

However, to Wei Ziying's ears, the meaning of this sentence is very different.

"The emperor left Linlin in Qianyuan Palace?"

Wen Qingzhu replied with a smile: "Yes, I thought their relationship was not good before, but now it seems that it is indeed okay, but Mingxuan has always liked Linlin, I think she is only temporarily living in Qingning Palace, and when Fu Jue's health is completely good, I will let Linlin return the harem affairs to her." ”

Wei Ziying didn't speak, and the room fell silent. balance

Fu Yu saw that the atmosphere was not right, and mentioned the purpose of their coming this time: "The fire in Cannes is strange, the emperor has already dealt with part of this matter, but we still can't take it lightly, now reconstruction is another problem, Cannes can't have more manpower, it will be unbearable." ”

"Isn't this matter handled by Wei Lin? He is the prefect of Cannes, and he has dealt with canals and other affairs before, and now he is valued by the emperor, how can he not handle it well? ”

Although Wen Qingzhu said it with a smile, the dissatisfaction in his words had already been revealed.

Wei Ziying is a smart person, so he naturally understands it as soon as he hears it.

He explained: "The new type of business on the side of Cannes is jointly promoted by the princess and the eldest princess, and all parties involved are extremely complex, and a fire two days ago burned down the warehouses and residences of large merchants, which will make the people lose confidence, Wei Lin has not encountered such a thing before, and it is normal to be out of reach." ”

"But he can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it, this palace thinks Ning Ping is good!" Wen Qingzhu restrained his smile and looked slightly serious.

Without waiting for Wei Ziying to reply, Fu Yu preemptively said: "Ning Ping is indeed good, but he doesn't have much time in Kangcheng, and now he is still a fellow acquaintance of Kangcheng, if he can really solve the problem of Kangcheng, Wei Lin will not ask to come to the capital." ”

"Oh? Are you questioning Hongu's ability to see people? Wen Qingzhu leaned back slightly, his gaze sweeping between the two.

In order to avoid a stalemate in the atmosphere, Wei Ziying took the initiative to give in and talked about Pei Yu.

Wen Qingzhu's attitude immediately improved, and he began to put forward a specific plan for dividing the relative power.

This discussion lasted until noon, Wen Qingzhu politely left them for dinner, and the two naturally understood that this was a polite remark, so they resigned and left.

On the way out of the palace, Wei Ziying was silent all the way.

Fu Yu was thoughtful, occasionally looking back at the direction of Qianyuan Palace and Huaqing Palace.

When she was about to leave the palace, Wei Ziying suddenly asked Fu Yu: "The emperor left the palace to go to Cannes before, and the princess really didn't know anything about it?" ”

"I don't know." Fu Yu shook his head.

He is the emperor's man, but he is also the one who is hidden from the emperor.

Wei Ziying thought about it carefully, in the days when the emperor was away, Wen Qingzhu's performance was indeed different from before.

The most important thing is that after the emperor returned to the palace, she immediately returned the government affairs and said that she would go out of Beijing to play.

However, he met the Assassins and returned to Beijing.

The emperor personally sent someone to greet him, and he knew that there was still a faceless among them, which showed that the emperor was very worried about Wen Qingzhu.

From last night to today, Wei Ziying vaguely felt that something was wrong with the emperor and the princess.

And when they had problems, Wei Lin was unexpectedly there.

Now Wen Qingzhu is obviously dissatisfied with Wei Lin, and even wants to make a fuss about Wei Qinglin.

It seems that what he was worried about is finally going to happen.

Wei Ziying looked at Fu Yu and said earnestly: "After the extreme trust collapses, there is no turning back. ”

Fu Yu knew that he was talking about the emperor and Wen Qingzhu, but he didn't understand, why did Wei Ziying say this to him?

Wei Ziying saw that he didn't seem to understand, but after all, he shook his head and turned around and got into the carriage.

In the afternoon of this day, Wen Qingzhu directly found Wan Hongyu and issued a holy decree.

Canonized Wen Mingxuan as a messenger to Cannes and took charge of the aftermath.

The holy decree was directly promulgated in the Xuanzheng Palace, except for Wen Mingxuan and Wan Hongyu, there was only He Xiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Wen Mingxuan turned around and left after receiving the order.

He Xiao vaguely felt that something was wrong, and after he left, he couldn't help but ask Wen Qingzhu: "Does the emperor know about this matter?" ”

"The emperor needs to know about this matter? Well? Wen Qingzhu raised his chin slightly.

She walked to He Xiao's side step by step, looked at the square outside the gate of the Xuanzheng Palace, and threatened in a low voice: "Lord He is a smart person, since this palace is regent, he naturally has the right to do so, the emperor is young, and some people can't tell the difference between good and bad, so this palace will make decisions on his behalf." ”

Looking sideways, he happened to meet He Xiao's slightly condensed gaze, and said with a light smile: "Lord He is a smart person, from the very beginning, you are the sword in the hands of this palace, and there is no chance of choice." If the sword is not sharp, this palace can be replaced. ”

After saying this, Wen Qingzhu looked at the front and left here without hurrying.

He Xiao slowly turned around and looked at her back against the light, always feeling that she was particularly dazzling today.

Waiting for Wen Mingxuan to set off, Qianyuan Palace received the news.

Wei Qinglin was delivering soup medicine to Jiang Yuanhan, and when she heard the news from Xiao Fangzi, her hand shook, the soup bowl fell on it, and the medicine splashed.

Her tears suddenly came out, and she looked at Jiang Yuanhan and asked, "Why did you send Brother Mingxuan to Kangcheng at this time?" Didn't you promise me—"

"Promise what?" Wen Qingzhu walked in from the door and cut off her words.

Wei Qinglin turned his head suddenly, quickly ran in front of Wen Qingzhu, looked at her and asked, "Why did Brother Mingxuan leave?" He said that he would stay with me in the capital, and I promised him to take good care of the emperor. ”

"But the emperor is a king, he is a minister, you are also a minister, as a courtier, you should serve the emperor, no matter when, as long as the emperor gives an order, even Mingxuan has no way to object."

Wen Qingzhu took her hand and explained to her seriously.

Wei Qinglin glanced back at Jiang Yuanhan, bit his lip and turned back after all, lowering his head and not speaking.

The room was suddenly quiet, and Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes to see Jiang Yuanhan's unclear eyes of joy and anger.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already done things for you, Ming Xuan can't finish it, he won't come back." The smile on Wen Qingzhu's face deepened, but his heart became more and more indifferent.

Yuanhan is really no longer the timid prince he once was.

Leaving the palace with Wei Qinglin, Qianyuan Palace fell into silence.

Faceless appeared silently, and replied in a low voice: "Lord Wen accepted the holy decree, and he didn't say anything. After Wei Xiang left the palace, he went to see Lord Lei, and he hasn't come back yet. ”
