Chapter 35: Freshen up
Wei Ying smiled slightly: "Since the father-in-law is so generous, then Wei will say it directly, the surname of Xu Hou Ye and Xu Gong Gong is Xu, Wei has the courage to ask, are Xu Gonggong and Xu Hou Ye the same clan?" I have long heard that Gonggong Xu is on duty next to the Queen Mother, and today I came with Marquis Xu, and I dare to ask Gonggong Xu has been transferred to the emperor's side on an errand recently? After Wei Ying asked, he stared at Gonggong Xu with his eyes, and Yu Guang found that the corners of Xu Yingcheng's mouth twitched a few times.
"General Wei smiled, the slave doesn't dare to climb with Hou Ye Xu, Hou Ye Xu is a high Hou Ye, the slave is just fortunate to have the same surname as Hou Ye Xu, how dare he climb Hou Ye Xu?" Gonggong Xu finally opened his mouth and said a word, then raised his eyebrows, and rolled his eyes over Xu Yingcheng: "The emperor has Marquis Xu and Queen Xu by his side, how much blessing do I have to wait for these clumsy slaves to be able to serve the emperor closely?" The slave was fortunate to be named by the emperor today to accompany Marquis Xu to the old general's mansion to pass the decree, and he must have been taken care of by Marquis Xu, so that the servant could go out of the palace to breathe. General Wei doesn't have to worry too much, the servants are still serving the queen mother, and they have not climbed high to serve the emperor. After Grandpa Xu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea
It can be seen that he doesn't know why he was sent here by the emperor to announce the decree.
And I could hear that he was not willing to come here with Xu Yingcheng. Therefore, except for the announcement, he has been silent until now, obviously he has no good impression of Xu Yingcheng.
Wei Ying's heart relaxed a little, because if Gonggong Xu hadn't become one with Xu Yingcheng, Xu Yingcheng's intention of coming here today would not necessarily be achieved.
It is impossible for the cunning Xu Yingcheng to directly say this matter to Father-in-law Xu, because there is still the queen mother above Father-in-law Xu. If the Empress Dowager knew that Xu Yingcheng suspected that the little county lord Heran Wanyue was still alive, and it was possible that in the General's Mansion, with the Empress Dowager's motherly heart of loving her only daughter, she would never allow Xu Yingcheng to harm her again.
Even if she knew that it was the emperor who supported Xu Yingcheng, the queen mother would not stand idly by.
Therefore, Xu Yingcheng just wanted to bring Gonggong Xu and let him meet his wife and son-in-law brought by Wei Qinian, as long as they met, Xu Yingcheng felt that even if Gonggong Xu was silent in order to protect the little county lord, what about the little county lord? I just turned five years old this year, and my family has suffered such a big disaster, if I see my mother and my grandmother, the Queen Mother, I will not fail to say anything!
It's so small, it's impossible to be as unflustered as an adult. Even with a look, Xu Yingcheng could determine whether Wei Ying's father and son were involved in the matter of stealing beams and changing pillars in Helan Mansion.
If there is a little suspicion, Xu Yingcheng will not show mercy to his subordinates and give this border guard general who once disdained him a fatal blow!
not only relieved the hatred in his heart that he had been despised by them for many years, but also eliminated his few rivals in today's court!
This is Xu Yingcheng's mind of taking the risk of bringing Xu's father-in-law.
He gambled that if the family members brought by Wei Qinian were related to Helan Che, he would definitely let him see some clues, even if he was not the heir of He Lan Che, he would never be willing to let go of those who came from the direction of Xihai City, especially those related to Wei Ying's father and son, he was uneasy not to see them. He felt that with his ability to observe words and colors, he would definitely find flaws in these people.
Wei Ying was indeed a little worried at the moment, and he was afraid that Helan Qin and Helan Wanyue would show their feet in front of Xu Yingcheng.
If he knew that Xu Yingcheng was so ruthless and decisive, he shouldn't have told them......
It's just that even if you don't say it, with Xu Yingcheng's minions, eyes and ears, let alone two big living people brought in by the General's Mansion, even if you bring in a few small animals, they will get the news.
It can only be said that it is all up to God's will at this moment!
They have already done what should be done, and then it will be up to Providence to decide!
Wei Qinian is as anxious as Wei Ying!
When I thought of Xu Yingcheng coming to the General's Mansion so blatantly to find out, I felt inexplicably frightened.
After all, the two of them only have the reality of husband and wife today, and the person Xu Yingcheng wants to kill is the person he has dreamed of for many days, if something happens to her, even if the emperor doesn't kill him, he won't be able to live!
Coming to Jinyuan with a heavy heart, Helanqin was ready to rest for a while because he had just drunk the medicine, and just lay down under the service of Chun Tao.
And Helan Wanyue and her uncle have not returned home until now.
Wei Qinian asked Chun Tao and the others to avoid it, walked to the bed by himself, and looked at the person who had just laid down to rest, and his mood became heavy again.
"Does Madame know who came to the palace to read the decree?" After Wei Qinian finished speaking, he looked at Helanqin and sighed deeply: "It's Xu Yingcheng, his purpose is very clear, he is here to see you and Yu'er." He also brought Yu'er's mother, Princess Huiren's former chamberlain Xu Gonggong, clamoring to see you in the front hall...... Lan'er, if I wasn't worried that you would be in danger, I really wanted to kill him with a sword! It's so arrogant! How dare you come here so blatantly and want to kill them all......"
"Don't say angry words, even if you kill him, you won't be in a hurry. Doesn't he want to see us? Let's see you, shall we? It just so happens that I also want Yu'er to recognize what the executioner who destroyed my whole house looks like......"
"But Lan'er, Xu Yingcheng is cunning and murderous, I'm worried that you will be in danger if you will be recognized by him......"
"Don't worry, Husband, Yu'er is not in the General's Mansion at the moment, as long as Yu'er is not there, even if they call our Helan family's chamberlain, they may not recognize me. Besides, since he is already suspicious, if I don't go over, he will be more and more suspicious of our identity, the general went back and told him that I heard that I wanted to see the Hou Ye, a little flattered, for the sake of prudence, I have to freshen up and dress up before I dare to meet the Hou Ye, you ask him to wait, I will come immediately. Helanqin got out of bed as she spoke, looking calm and calm.
"Lan'er really wants to see him?" Wei Qinian asked worriedly.
"It's not me who wants to see him right now, it's that he has to see me, since he's so persistent, what's the harm in seeing him?" Helanqin got out of bed after speaking.
With her beautiful figure and unparalleled face, Wei Qinian's heart couldn't help but sink a little: "Lan'er is so beautiful, I'm afraid that Xu Yingcheng's old thief will see some clues according to your appearance, you must know that he has also seen your two sisters...... I'm afraid ......"
"Don't be afraid, husband, don't you want to freshen up one or two? Lan'er will definitely not let him see any flaws, and the husband will go to the front yard to reply with peace of mind, and Lan'er will be there soon. Sure to let Xu Lao Thief return disappointed. After Helanqin finished speaking, he looked at Wei Qinian, who had a sad face: "General Fujun, why are you twisting like this at this moment?" Hurry up and reply to the front yard, don't arouse the suspicion of Xu Thief! ”
"Lan'er, don't worry, if the thief Xu really finds out the clues, he will embarrass you, and the husband will never let him get out of the general's mansion alive!" After Wei Qinian finished speaking, he glanced at the person in front of him again, gritted his teeth and walked out.
Helanqin sighed deeply: "Chun Tao, can you find me some rouge gouache?" The general said that Hou Ye Xu wanted to see me, so I went so plain for fear of blaspheming Hou Ye, I had to paint it well. Seeing Chun Tao waiting for Wei Qinian to go out and then walked in again, Helanqin said softly.
Wei Qinian came to the front yard with a heavy heart.
"Uncle and Renyu haven't returned home until now, so it must be my uncle who took him to another place to play. Yalan said that when Hou Ye Xu saw her, he would definitely dress up one or two to show respect, and he might have to work hard for Hou Ye to stay for a while, and asked Hou Ye to forgive him. After Wei Qinian entered, he said to the people sitting in the hall.
"Oh, I just came back from the street and met my uncle and Renyu, my uncle said that Renyu wanted to see the juggling on the street, and my uncle said that he hadn't seen those things since he was a child, so let him take a good look, so they still have to go outside, let me go home and talk to my eldest brother, and when I came back, I met Hou Ye to deliver the decree, and I was in a panic for a while, and I forgot about it." Wei Qiguang hurriedly said.
Because Xu Yingcheng told him that he wanted to find him an errand, Wei Qiguang was very polite to Xu Yingcheng.
"No wonder he hasn't come back yet. Hou Ye Xu smiled, Renyu grew up with us at the mouth of the Min River since he was a child, and he had never been to Jinling City, so his uncle had to take him out to play, and said that he would come back before lunch, and now that you listen to what Qiguang said, I am afraid that you will disappoint Hou Ye! When Wei Ying heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xu Yingcheng with a smile.
