In Qixia Nunnery, when the bright and peerless woman showed what she saw to the master of Fengyi, the master of Fengyi said lightly: "King Qi is difficult to control, this is also what this seat has known for a long time, if it were not for his lack of succession, this seat would not let him act willfully, but now, he actually had a secret meeting with King Yong at this time, Wushuang, do you say that King Qi will not throw himself to King Yong at this time." ”

Yan Wushuang hesitated for a moment and said: "In the opinion of the disciple, King Qi should not completely surrender to King Yong, no betrayer can get real attention and trust, King Qi is surrendering to King Yong at this moment, and he can only save his life after King Yong's victory, if King Qi helps the prince to ascend the throne, then in the future, it will be under one person, above ten thousand, this truth King Qi will not understand, Master, do you want Senior Sister Zheng to ask His Royal Highness King Qi's mind." ”

The master of Fengyi Sect shook his head and said: "Don't startle the snake, alas, Qin Zheng is really the most useless of my personal disciples, not only is he powerless to restrain King Qi, but he also lost his heart, the most important thing I taught you at the beginning is that you can't move the truth, if you are smart and witty, only a little ambitious, we women are no worse than their men to go there, the only drawback is that we are too easy to lose ourselves for those cheap emotions." ”

Yan Wushuang said: "The master is too worried, although Senior Sister Qin is powerless to restrain King Qi, this is also because King Qi has a unique personality and noble status, if Master Zun makes up his mind, Senior Sister Qin will definitely be able to act according to orders and control King Qi." ”

The master of Fengyi Sect said happily: "Wushuang is really smart, this time Yu'er succeeded in assassinating the ghost face general, and you have found out such important information, this seat is very relieved, you have to do things well, let this seat see your efforts." ”

Yan Wushuang said: "The disciple will definitely live up to the high expectations of the master. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Wushuang said again: "Master, do you want to report this matter to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

The master of Fengyi sneered: "Report what he did, let him be suspicious of King Qi, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only afraid that he has been shocked, so don't hit him, not to mention, if we hold this handle, when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, we can also better control King Qi, and I think he will also know what the prince will do to him if he knows that he once had the intention to rebel." ”

Yan Wushuang said reverently: "The master of the door has a far-reaching strategy, and the disciple admires it, but the disciple does not understand one thing, Princess Changle has nothing to do with the government, why does the master of the door insist on persecuting her, if it causes Emperor Yong's dissatisfaction, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses." ”

The master of Fengyi Sect sighed slightly: "You will understand this matter in the future, but there is a reason you have to know, who is the sweetheart of Princess Changle, although that person is incomparably intelligent, but such people are people with fragile hearts, we all know that he was exhausted because of the attack on Shu, and he recuperated for several years, and this seat sent someone to Nanchu to investigate, confirming that he was indeed in critical condition at that time, and there was a diagnosis from a famous doctor, saying that his heart meridian was injured and he was dying for many days. Last time, the Yongwang Mansion was deliberately careful, but his heart was seriously injured. For more than a year, he and Princess Changle have secretly communicated with each other, and they must have had a very deep relationship, if at this time, Princess Changle does not marry, with his body, he will inevitably be bedridden, and even life-threatening is possible, so you should know very well how much help we will have. ”

Yan Wushuang's eyes flashed with exclamation: "As soon as this person enters the Yongwang Shogunate, we will be in trouble everywhere, and now we can't assassinate again, if we can eradicate this person like this, it is really worth the risk." ”

The master of Fengyi said with a faint smile: "Actually, this is not bad for Princess Changle, Wei Ying's character and appearance are very good, being able to marry such a good son-in-law is already a good ending for her, why should she be attached to a sick and short-lived person." ”

Yan Wushuang said worriedly: "I heard that Princess Changle is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, I don't know how the door master will act?" ”

The Fengyi Sect Master smiled slightly and did not answer.

At this time, Qingyue's voice came from outside the door: "Qiqi Sect Master, His Royal Highness King Qi has entered Beijing, and the prince will lead hundreds of officials to welcome him." ”

After the grand suburban welcome ceremony, Li Xian was invited by the prince to enter the palace with the car to meet the emperor, as soon as this invitation came out, Li Xian sneered in his heart, he is not an idiot, although the prince was helpless against himself in the past, but unless he has a place to use himself, he will be so courteous, it seems that the second brother is right, the prince can't wait, do you want to show that King Yong should be bluffing? After thinking about it, Li Xian decided that if the prince asked him sincerely, then he would not hide it at all. If he only wants to use his own strength, then he will not say a word, as long as he forces himself to raise an army to rebel, then he can only obey orders.

On the prince's car, Li An hesitated for a moment and said: "Sixth brother, you also know the current situation, King Yong is pressing step by step, my father is obscure, my storage position is already in danger, sixth brother, you have always been my person, if I lose my storage position, it is that King Yong will not offend you in the face of my father, and you should stop thinking about leading troops to fight, when the time comes, you will not be placed under house arrest, but you will also be removed from your position, and you will be afraid that it will be too late to regret it." ”

Li Xian's expression darkened, how could he not know this truth, but no matter what, he could not raise an army to rebel, wouldn't that be a betrayal of his father's trust.

Li An said again: "Sixth brother, I won't say anything, you should understand that now you have no way out, if I can ascend the throne, I will definitely crown you as the auxiliary prince, and then you will be under one person, sixth brother, what do you think." ”

Li Xian said coldly: "Then where did the eldest brother put the Fengyi Gate, and what they did to help each other with all their might, the eldest brother should know it." ”

Li An showed an embarrassed look on his face, and said: "They naturally have some requirements, but I can handle it, sixth brother, you and I are brothers, in the future, we will join forces, there will always be a way to restrict Fengyimen." ”

Li Xian sighed lightly and said: "The younger brother knows, His Royal Highness can rest assured, as long as the father's intention remains unchanged, the younger brother will never allow anyone to hurt His Highness." ”

Li An frowned, this was not the result he hoped for, he hoped that Li Xian could offer to help him rebel, but this kind of thing could not be said by him, once he said it, he would inevitably suffer endlessly, hesitated for a moment, saw Li Xian's cold expression, he was finally unwilling to take any more risks, and now, he could no longer act recklessly.

After King Qi was summoned by Emperor Yong, when he walked out of the palace, he saw a gorgeous carriage waiting there, he hesitated, and his cronies next to him said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the princess is coming to greet you, if you don't see it, it's a bit excessive, let's be perfunctory." ”

Li Xian thought about it for a while, walked to the carriage, and a maid in the carriage lifted the curtain, revealing Princess Qi's flower-like smile, Li Xian's expression was a little mocking and slippery, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Zheng'er personally came to greet the triumph of this king, it is really an honor." ”

Qin Zheng's face turned red and said, "The prince is always so unserious. Li Xian smiled and got into the carriage, the curtain hanging down, hiding the laughter in the carriage*.

Li An returned to the mansion with a calm face, and after informing Lu Jingzhong of the results of the conversation, he just hurriedly said, "This matter will be handed over to you to deal with." Then he went back to the inner house. A moment later, a post about the crown princess inviting the East Palace attendant Shao's wife Huo was sent out, and after half an hour, the bleak Huo walked into the secret room in the prince's mansion for the prince's lewd pleasure. In the fury of the prince to vent his emotions, the blood and tears of innocent women flowed.

In the afternoon of the same day, the master of Fengyi Gate entered the palace to meet with the queen's mother, and soon after, Empress Dou sent the female official Zhao Shanggong to pass the edict to Princess Changle.

Princess Changle frowned slightly, looking at Zhao Shanggong who was passing the decree in front of her, and the queen mother passed the decree to let herself go to the audience, which was not a good sign. And it is also Shanggong himself, according to the system of Dayong's inner palace, except for the chief female officer next to the queen and the concubine is Shanggong, the chief female officials of the rest of the palaces are Shangyi, most of these female officials are older palace maids, just like Zhou Shangyi of his Cuiluan Palace, who is the former cronie maid of the mother's concubine, she is thirty years old this year, whether it is Shanggong Shangyi, she has a very high status, this kind of thing to pass on the decree is not needed by Zhao Shanggong, the head of the harem female official, to do it personally, and Zhao Shanggong's mouth is very tight, only said that the queen mother invited the princess, but she refused to say anything. Although Changle was worried in his heart, he thought about it, the soldiers came to block, the water came to cover the earth, she was a princess who was deeply favored by the emperor, and even the queen couldn't do anything about herself, so her face showed a resolute look and smiled: "Please lead the way in front of Zhao Shanggong." ”

Zhao Shanggong led Princess Changle to turn east and west to a Changxuan, which was beautifully furnished, and the chess Ping Yaoqin was varied, and the queen Dou was playing chess with a masked woman in a snow suit, and when she saw Princess Changle walking in, she pushed the chess Ping and said: "That's it, this palace admits defeat." Changle came over and met the master of Fengyi. ”

Princess Changle's heart jumped, and she stepped forward to bow down and said, "Changle knocks on the queen mother, see the door master." ”

The snow-clothed woman's clear and cold eyes revealed a faint unknown emotion, stepped forward to pick up Princess Changle, and said with a smile: "The last time I saw you, I was still a little doll, and now I am Tingting Yuli." ”

The queen sighed: "It's just that this child has a hard life, she was sent by her father to marry Nanchu in the past, and now she is a widow living at home." ”

The woman in snow said with a smile: "Changle is dignified and elegant, how can he live alone for a long time, I heard that the emperor has chosen a son-in-law for you, and soon they will definitely be able to harmonize and respect each other." ”

Princess Changle was not allowed to speak, and the Dou family had already smiled and said: "The concubine that her father chose for her is the son of Wei Xiang, although the time of marriage is not specified, but this matter is not good to delay for too long." Changle, do you say yes? ”

Although Princess Changle had been prepared, she was still cold in her heart, and held the perennial folding fan tightly, as if the person was supporting herself beside her, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is too worried, Changle is now accompanied by the Buddha, it is the heart that stops water, and please don't bother the mother, this marriage Changle has already resigned from his father." ”

The queen hesitated a little, glanced at the master of Fengyi, and the master of Fengyi said: "Changle is right, we women may not have a husband to accompany you, and the queen also pities your youth, you still have to think about it, your fan is also elegant, can you show it to this seat." ”

Changle's heart tightened, but he had to hand over the folding fan and said, "Please appreciate it." ”

The master of Fengyi Gate took the folding fan, looked at the poems on it, and read softly: "Cold is better than the water and lighter than the autumn, and Yuan Mo is poor at the beginning of the ferry." Lai is Danqing has no place to paint, and the painting should be sent to worry for a lifetime. Good poetry, worthy of being the first talent in Southern Chu. After that, he looked at Princess Changle with cold eyes and said, "Is the princess really unwilling to get married?" Princess Changle only felt that her breath was short, as if there was a pressure like Mount Tai coming to her face, although she had always been weak, but her temperament was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the master of Fengyi was hindered by her identity, so she was able to endure it. The cold voice of the Fengyi Sect Master sounded in her ears: "Princess, Wei Ying is also the husband that the emperor has painstakingly selected for you, if you conform to the will of heaven and the hearts of the people, not only will you be happy all your life, but also your father and mother will not worry about you." Princess Changle felt that her heart was in a trance, and the strong pressure almost forced her to agree, but the image of the pale and weak scholar in Tsing Yi soon appeared in her mind, her eyes fell on the folding fan, and she said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for the care of the door master, Changle has no intention of remarrying now, Wei Ying is good, but he is not a good person." ”

The master of Fengyi raised his eyebrows lightly, shook the folding fan lightly, and said: "The princess refuses the good intentions of the emperor and the queen so much, presumably because her intentions are firm, and it is inconvenient for this seat to persuade her. As he spoke, he suddenly used his hands to exert his strength, and the finely crafted folding fan turned into powder.

Princess Changle exclaimed, tears rippling in her beautiful eyes. The master of Fengyi said apologetically: "This seat missed for a while and destroyed your folding fan, so let's do it, this seat will compensate you for a good one." ”

Princess Changle only felt that there was a flame burning in her heart, and said angrily: "No need, it's just a folding fan, and the door owner doesn't have to blame himself." Although she said this, her bright eyes projected an unforgettable hatred, and even the Fengyi Sect Master felt a chill in his heart.

At this time, Queen Dou spoke: "Changle, you are not in good health, seeing that you are pale, you must be tired, so let's go back and rest early." ”

Changle endured the grief and indignation in his heart, and retired like a ritual, but his steps were a little staggering, and Lu E, who was standing in the distance just now, did not notice all this, but felt that the princess looked bad, and hurriedly helped her back to the dormitory, and soon after leaving, suddenly a surprised voice came from afar: "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

Changle looked up tiredly, but it was Wei Ying and a little eunuch standing there. If it was in the past, Changle would definitely leave under the pretext, but now she could hardly think, and asked a little worriedly, "Why is Master Wei here?" ”

Wei Ying's face was faintly happy and said: "The minister has entered Zhongshu Province and served by the emperor's side, just now the emperor learned that the master of Fengyi Gate had arrived, and specially sent the minister to report to the mother, please stay for a while, the emperor wants to invite the master of the door to dinner." ”

When Changle heard the four words of Fengyi Sect Master, he only felt anger burning in his heart, and was about to leave, but he only felt dizzy, and his delicate body fell to the ground. Lu E exclaimed, she didn't have much strength, although she barely hugged the princess, but she couldn't do it, this time she came to meet the queen, Princess Changle didn't bring more palace maids, and I don't know why there was no palace maid eunuch here, the only little eunuch was young, it was impossible to support the princess, in desperation, Lu E had to raise her eyes to look at Wei Ying, although Wei Ying was a man, but he was the princess's "fiancé" after all, although Lu E knew that the princess had other loves, but she couldn't let the princess fall to the ground in a coma like this.

Wei Ying hesitated for a moment, hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hug each other, and said, "There is a room nearby, let the princess rest there, and call the imperial doctor to check the pulse." ”

Lu E said happily: "Thank you Lord Wei for reminding me, this is the west side of the Imperial Garden, next to it is the bedroom of Concubine Duan, please help send the princess there." ”

Wei Ying picked up the princess and said, "Then please ask Miss Lu'e to lead the way." ”

Lu E said to the little eunuch: "You hurry up and report to the eldest concubine, just say that the princess suddenly fainted, and ask the lady to come to the palace of the concubine to pick up the princess." ”

The little eunuch agreed again and again, turned around and ran away. Wei Ying hugged Princess Changle and followed behind Lu E, although Lu E was walking in a hurry, she always paid attention to her behind, only to see a look of pity and love flashing in Wei Ying's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy, thinking that if the princess changed her mind because of this, it would be good.

didn't go far, Lu E may have walked too quickly, accidentally fell down, couldn't help covering her ankles and screaming in pain, Wei Ying said anxiously: "Miss Lu E, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu E smiled bitterly: "Master Wei, I'm afraid the slave won't be able to walk." ”

Wei Ying shouted, "Is there anyone around?" ”

Lu E also shouted twice, but in the end, Lu E could only say helplessly: "Master Wei, I bother you to follow this road not far forward, which is the residence of Concubine Duan." Wei Ying said hesitantly: "In the harem, I have a lot of inconvenience. ”

Lu E hurriedly said: "When is this, if you still have to worry, I am afraid that the princess's condition will worsen." Besides, you and the princess are still engaged, so it should be fine. ”

Wei Ying had no choice but to say: "Green girl, please wait here, I will let someone rescue the girl." After that, he continued to move forward along the path, and after a while, Wei Ying was a little confused, there were two roads in front of him, which one should he take, after thinking about it, he walked forward along the path on his left. After another moment, a palace appeared in front of it. He stepped forward happily and knocked on the palace door, but only an old eunuch came out to greet him, and he said in a panic: "How could this lord be here?" ”

Wei Ying smiled bitterly: "I'm Wei Ying, Princess Changle suddenly fainted, I wanted to send her to the palace of Concubine Duan, but I didn't expect to go the wrong way." ”

The eunuch said with trepidation: "This place has been uninhabited for a long time, please send the princess in to rest first, and the old slave will go and call someone." ”

Wei Ying had no choice but to say: "I'm tired of you, please find someone to take care of the princess." ”

After the old eunuch left, only Wei Ying and Princess Changle were still in the silent palace, looking at the beauty lying on the bed, with a pale face, Wei Ying's heart suddenly rose, he was the son of a famous family, and he was talented and intelligent, and he was respected, but Princess Changle stubbornly rejected him, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but as soon as his eyes fell on Princess Changle, he became gentle and warm, although regretful, but Princess Changle was a woman who made him admire in his heart.

The closed door of the hall makes the light in the dormitory dim, and it can't help but give people an ambiguous feeling. Wei Ying only felt that his mood was speeding up, and in the corner of the dormitory, the smell of spices burning in the incense burner was getting stronger and stronger, and Wei Ying felt more and more unbearable in his heart, and his gaze at Princess Changle was a little more obscure.
