Chapter 43: Whose Hand Killed the Deer IV

"Father-in-law An, now that you have figured out the question our family asked you?"

Gonggong Wei asked with a long tail note.

Grandpa An never dreamed that this old thing had such a good memory, and he could even remember the questions he asked. However, he has his own way to deal with it, and his old ability to pretend to be crazy and stupid is particularly important at this moment.

"Factory, the little one is quite worried today, and he forgot about your question for a while, I don't know what you are referring to?"

However, he still replied to Gonggong Wei with great caution.

"Grandpa An, it's really time for you to forget! You don't have to remember the questions we asked you, now we have an important matter for you to do. ”

"Factory, please speak."

Grandpa Wei cleared his throat, squinted his eyes and said, "Come here!" ”

Gonggong An walked up to Gonggong Wei and stood still.

"After you go back, tell Concubine Zhuang that our family has agreed to her business, and just do what she says. Do you know what it is? ”

"Back to the factory, I don't know if it's small."

"Very well, then go back and tell your master!"

Father-in-law Wei's handling was also extremely delicate, he did not complain about Father-in-law An, nor did he confide in what was going on. just let him go back and tell his master, so that Grandpa An couldn't guess what he was going to do.

"Yes, Gonggong!"

This old fox, and he sells it, so it's okay not to say it, so I still have to do whatever I have to do, and I don't have to worry about myself.

Gonggong An hurriedly went back to find Concubine Zhuang.

"Mother, mother, mother......"

"What's wrong? You're so in a hurry! ”

"Niangniang, Father-in-law Wei said that he agreed to your business, so do as you say."

Gonggong An raised his head and looked at Concubine Zhuang, he wanted to know what kind of deal they had made, and the Duke of Wei would agree to Concubine Zhuang's request so easily.

"Did Grandpa Wei say it himself?"

Concubine Zhuang was both nervous and excited, she had been nervous since she came back from Dongchang, for fear that Gonggong Wei would not agree to her and tell her secret. Now it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.

"Yes, Grandpa Wei said it himself."

"Good!"

"Father-in-law An, I bother you to go to Taichang Temple in person and invite Du Wanjun and Xiyan to come as guests."

"Niangniang, invite them to be guests?"

Gonggong An never knew that Concubine Zhuang had the idea of inviting them to dinner, so it was speculated that she should have consulted Gonggong Wei. But he always felt that something was wrong, if Concubine Zhuang wanted to get rid of Du Wanjun through this, then she was really stupid!

"Go quickly, and when you go out, I will tell you to go down, and let the kitchen cook more delicious food."

"Mother?"

Before Grandpa An's words were finished, he was interrupted by Concubine Zhuang.

"I said Grandpa An, why are you talking so much today, go quickly!"

Gonggong An wanted to persuade Concubine Zhuang again, but he still didn't say anything about her again. What does her life and death have to do with him, he is a slave, not only does she not listen to what she says too much, but she thinks he talks too much.

Grandpa An gritted his teeth, turned around and went out.

Just as Gonggong An left the door of Dongchang, Gonggong Wei sent someone to inform Wanjun and told him to act according to the plan.

Therefore, Wanjun is extraordinarily calm. He played a game of Go with Xi Yan, and then got up and changed into a set of clothes. As soon as he finished changing his clothes, Grandpa An came.

"Du Gongzi, Xi Gongzi, Niangniang invites the two of you to the palace to have a dinner together!"

"Mother invited us to go?"

Xi Yan first glanced at Grandpa An with wide eyes in confusion, and then turned his head to look at Wanjun.

"Xi Gongzi, yes, Niangniang specially asked me to invite you two to go now."

Wanjun grabbed Xiyan's hand, hoping that he wouldn't be too anxious, he smiled and said, "Father-in-law An, wait a while, let's go in and change our clothes." ”

"Good!"

Wanjun took Xiyan's hand and walked into the house.

"Wanjun, why did Concubine Zhuang suddenly invite us to dinner? How do I have an ominous premonition? ”

"Xiyan, this is obviously the Hongmen Banquet, I told you a long time ago, she was going to kill us, and now she has finally done it."

"Hongmen Banquet? What to do? My heart is beating so hard that I can't stop it! ”

Wanjun pushed Xiyan on the stool and held his face: "You have to remember that this trip is very important, you must be calm!" ”

"Calm? How can I be calm? I know that I am going to die, how can I be at peace in my heart? ”

"Wanjun, what should I do, I'm so nervous that I'm going to die!"

Wanjun hugged Xiyan's head, touched his back and said, "With me, with me, what you need to do now is to paint a beautiful makeup, change into a beautiful set of clothes, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

Wanjun raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and pouted: "Wanjun, I ......"

"Don't say anything, come, I'll help you draw your eyebrows!"

"Wanjun, we'll be fine, right?"

"Fool, it's going to be fine, you can rest assured."

......

"Grandpa An, let's go!"

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and the wind swept the fallen leaves, and the remnants of the clouds on the horizon were gloomy. Wanjun and Xiyan's headbands lost their direction in the wind, fluttering in disappointment.

There was a terrible wind, blowing so that Wanjun had no direction and no will in his heart, he didn't know if he could come back alive this time, he still had to go to find Chunqiu, how could he die so easily?

The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the face was confused. Wanjun turned to look at the blurry sunset, her eyes were rubbed by the blowing sand, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Xiyan, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, but with you, I'm not so afraid."

"I'm afraid."

Xiyan grabbed Wanjun's arm and said with a smile: "Leave it to fate, if God really lets us die, then we will die!" ”

Wanjun's heart is like the wind at this moment, sad and cold.

"You're more open-minded than I am!"

"Since we don't have a choice, let fate choose us!"

Destiny? Let fate choose us? Xiyan is right, since the matter has come to this, it is better to leave it to fate.

Father-in-law An, who was walking in front, had complained about the bad weather today several times, and he complained all the way, and he didn't see the wind stop for even a second.

As soon as their feet stepped into Yonghe Palace, the wind stopped abruptly. This is really strange, when I arrived at Concubine Zhuang, the wind stopped.

Everything was unexpected, unbelievable, yet inexplicable. But it's okay, even if you die, you have to die on a day without wind and rain, so that a person's soul can not be blown out of direction.

"Two sons, come in, don't stand stupidly!"

Wanjun and Xiyan looked up at Grandpa An and saw him hunched over and waiting for them to enter.

"Xiangzhu, you pour this packet of medicine into Du Wanjun's wine jug, don't let people find out."

Concubine Zhuang took out a packet of medicine from her arms, looked around cautiously a few times, and then stuffed it into Xiangzhu's hand.

"Niangniang, you can rest assured!"

......

"Two sisters, I'm really sorry that I'm late for this palace!"

"Mother? Niangniang auspicious! ”

Concubine Zhuang came over to help the two of them and said with a smile: "Come on, come, sit, sit down and talk." ”

"Xie Niangniang!"

They took their seats.

"Two sisters, I've been thinking about it for a long time recently, and I always feel that I can't stand the two of you, so I invite you to come over for dinner today. The first is to apologize, and the other is to turn our relationship into a friendship, regardless of previous suspicions, like sisters. ”

Concubine Zhuang said very reasonably, and the sincerity of her face was written on her face.

"Niangniang, how can we make Niangniang remember like this!"

"I know, I've done a lot of things that can't help you, and it makes me very embarrassed, come, I toast you!"

"Xiangzhu, pour wine!"

After Xiangzhu poured the wine, Concubine Zhuang picked up a glass of wine: "I'll do it first as a respect!" ”

Xiyan didn't know whether to drink this wine or not, and he looked at Wanjun at a loss.

Wanjun gave him a color to try, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Concubine Zhuang saw that both of them drank the wine, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, eat vegetables, eat more, in the future, you may not be able to eat so, so ......."

Before Concubine Zhuang finished speaking, she saw blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She clutched her chest in pain and looked into Wanjun's eyes: "You, you?" ”

Wanjun and Xiyan were a little at a loss, their hands clasped together, looked at each other, and hurriedly ran over to help Concubine Zhuang up: "Niangniang, Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"You, you are so ruthless, why do you want to poison?"

Concubine Zhuang spat blood out of her mouth again, and her body began to tremble. Xiangzhu ran over and cried in the back, she was so frightened that it took so long to react.

"No, it's not us, Niangniang, wake up, Niangniang. Quick, call the doctor. ”

Gonggong An stood aside with a blank expression, as if he could still see a trace of joy in his eyes.

At the last moment when Concubine Zhuang came in, Gonggong An suddenly got his senses, and he suddenly understood what Gonggong Wei meant. So, he took advantage of Xiangzhu's lack of attention and dropped the two pots of wine in his bag, which allowed Wanjun and Xiyan to escape.

But how did he know there was something wrong with the wine? It turned out to be Xiangzhu, and when she came in, she looked nervous, and her hands began to tremble unconsciously. From this, he judged that there must be something wrong with the wine. So, he betrayed his master and responded to the will of Gonggong Wei.

Concubine Zhuang after squirting a mouthful of blood. smiled: "Life, it's all fate!" The palace has exhausted all the organs, but in the end, it will kill you! Hahahaha, it's all fate, it's all fate! ”

Her eyes gradually closed, and she didn't understand before she died, how could everything she had designed change when it changed?

Yes, Grandpa Wei promised her, she just needs to do it according to her own plan, but what is the problem? Why was it she who drank the poisoned wine, and not them?

Father-in-law Wei didn't want to help them, but did everything he could, and neither side was offended. But the key to this matter lies in Grandpa An, if Grandpa An doesn't change the jug at the last moment, it will be Wanjun and Xiyan who will die. This move is really good, and he will always be the winner in the end.

The next day, the palace announced that Concubine Zhuang had died of illness.

When the queen and Concubine Shu learned the news of Concubine Zhuang's death, they were deeply shocked. Things in the palace are changing rapidly, if he dies today, it may be you tomorrow. Even if the Empress and Concubine wanted to be left alone, the fate of the Forbidden City would not allow them to do so.

No one knew what Gonggong Wei said to Wanjun that night, and with Concubine Zhuang leaving, this secret would never be mentioned again. But Wanjun knew that Concubine Zhuang's death had nothing to do with him, but what could this be, if Concubine Zhuang didn't die that day, it was him who died.

The white Changling is full of the Forbidden City in autumn, and there will be people dying in the palace every day, but when Concubine Zhuang dies, the palace will hang out white, and when the next person dies, he will not see white.

Gonggong Wei staggered out of the palace, he turned around and glanced at Bai Aya floating in the air, his heart seemed to be so undisturbed, he didn't move his eyebrows, and continued to walk towards Dongchang.

Wanjun sat by the lake, the cold wind swept the lake water, and a dead leaf fell on his hand. He tried to pinch up the dead leaves, but the wind blew them away in the air.
