Chapter 033: Cui Yi
"Hoo ......"
With a heavy sigh of relief, Wei Chengye wiped the beads of sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, and presented a scimitar bound under the heavy clothing to Yuan Zheng.
Since the accident of the first emperor, the defense of the palace ban has been as unbreakable as an iron bucket under the personal arrangement of Lin Shifan and Guo Xiaoyi, and even he has no privileges. Rao is that he has always had a face in front of the emperor, and he is a relative of important ministers, and he is still very lucky to escape the interrogation of the palace guards, and bring this dangerous thing into the palace and hand it over to the emperor.
"This is what Cousin Qiu quietly entrusted me to give to Your Majesty, she knows the danger in the palace, and asks Your Majesty to learn from me when no one is around, so as to increase martial arts for self-defense."
Wei Chengye's eyelids jumped, and he only said half of what he said.
His cousin with a broken mouth originally thought that Wei Chengye's martial arts were ordinary and could not protect the emperor, and Guo Xiaoyi had been training outside for a long time and could not protect him closely, and there were many dangers in the palace, for fear that the emperor would make a mistake.
Cheng Ye unsurprisingly saw the rouge on the face of the Son of Heaven, and his eyes seemed to be soaked with water, of course he knew what the emperor was thinking.
It's just that he looked at it, and his cousin seemed to be more concerned about Zu Yong's rotten squire, but she herself might not know about it.
Looking at the gentle look on the emperor's face when he rubbed the scabbard, "alas", without noticing, Wei Chengye sighed.
Yuan Zheng was awakened from his memories by this almost inaudible sigh, and reluctantly retracted his mind, and vigilantly looked around before settling down.
After Cheng Ye came in, he had already found an excuse to spend Zhang Ping and his others, and there was no one else in the room.
As for the person in front of him, Yuan Zheng glanced at Cheng Ye, and sighed in his heart, this is still a stunned boy who doesn't understand personnel.
"Don't sigh, the thing you begged me to do is done!"
Yuan Zheng smiled and pulled Cheng Ye into the east room where the imperial couch was located, took a very delicate lacquer-inlaid luodian long box from the shelf, wrapped the scimitar with bright yellow brocade and put it in the box, and finally held the box and placed it on the pillow with great cherishment.
Wei Chengye, who was watching him from the sidelines, rolled his eyes in his heart - the affairs of these little children are really troublesome, and even a wise and martial person like the emperor is not exempt from vulgarity.
Yuan Zheng was unconscious, looking at him, only when he was still upset about that incident, he laughed secretly, "Your uncle has already agreed, and he will take you with him to envoy Tu Xilu." You have indeed grown up, you should learn from Master Lin, and in the future, you can be a big official in front of me and be my right-hand man. ”
"Thank you, third brother! Ah no, thank you, Your Majesty! ”
Wei Chengye suddenly heard that his wish had been fulfilled, and immediately threw away the impatience in his heart about the love affair of his children.
"Don't thank me, let it go, follow Wen Ge Lao and Master Lin to practice some skills among the dragons and phoenixes, and it is the right thing to shelter me from the wind and rain."
The emperor's face froze slightly, which made Cheng Ye even more excited.
On the day of the enthronement ceremony, the small eunuch touched the rank and died, but he said that King Yanling was the heir to the throne designated by the first emperor, although this matter was absurd, the wind blowing among the courtiers was never broken. These days, the remarks about the edict of the former emperor have been circulating among the courtiers.
Cheng Ye snorted coldly, "These old foxes, on the surface, are respectful, but who knows what kind of treacherous heart they are in private. ”
This kind of talk can only be pointed out in front of the emperor, although Yuan Zheng has already obtained the throne, but if it is said that among the courtiers left by the first emperor, who is really sincere to them, it is really difficult to say.
All they think about is their own glory and wealth, no matter who is in the upper position, they all prostrate and kowtow to the mountain and shout long live. There is a lack of intimate people around the emperor, so he is looking forward to his own experience and growth, and he will be independent.
"It's not profitable, it's not early, after the big changes in the previous situation, there are still people who are uncertain."
has been in the officialdom for a long time, which is not crystal hearted and glass-hearted, if this rumor is just for curiosity, it would have stopped a long time ago, why is it still flying all over the sky now.
The court is chaotic and the turmoil is undecided, and this time I went west to Tuxilu to restore the mutual market, and it may not be a peaceful trip.
It was the night of the Wei Mansion, and after the second watch bangzi was knocked, the subordinates ended the day's busyness one after another, and returned to the subordinate room in the back hall of the side courtyard to rest.
After a small commotion, the entire Wei Mansion fell silent.
There was a squeak in the lower room of the second courtyard of the west gate of the house, and a person walked slowly towards the courtyard with a wind lantern.
Twist past the big shadow wall, wind through the hand-copying verandah, turn a small pond, and go around from the bluestone bridge to a flat land adjacent to the river behind the rockery.
The man seemed to be carrying the food box with a lantern, and placed a small incense burner in the middle of the plates of snacks that were laid out. He lit three sticks of incense with the lantern, and after whispering words in his mouth, he took out a delicate and dexterous lotus lamp and stared at the river in a daze.
"It's your Qiqi today, I have paid tribute to you like this, I just hope that you will have a good place to go in the next life, and stop being forced to do those things that go to hell......"
As he spoke, he began to cry. But he didn't guard against a series of hurried footsteps behind him, so he was covered by someone from behind, covered his head with a layer of cloth bag, and then stuffed his mouth with cloth dumplings, only to feel that his body was light, and he was carried away.
In Fei Minghe's room, a light was like a bean, reflecting Lin Shifan, who was sitting in casual clothes on the next chair, with a gloomy and uncertain expression.
The door was gently opened from the outside, and Wei Chengye walked into the room with a solemn expression and said to the two: "It's done." ”
Ah Xiao threw the cloth bag on his shoulder to the ground, took off the cloth bag covering his head, nodded slightly to everyone and went out of the door, and went to the gate of the courtyard to guard.
The black and yellow face of the woman on the ground even reflected the faint candle flame very clearly, and after seeing everyone in the room, the horror in her eyes instantly turned into shame and wanted to cry.
"Aunt Cuiyi."
Cheng Ye couldn't bear it a little, and stepped forward to take down the cloth in her mouth.
"You found out? It's better than my conscience is at ease for so many days, and life is better than death. ”
Fei Minghe's eyes suddenly gave birth to a cold hatred, "Say! ”
Cui Yi's body trembled, sat down on the ground sadly, and said, "On the day of Madame's burial, I killed Lu Lian. ”
She looked at Lin Shifan, who had been bowing his head and being silent, and he had been rubbing the ice stone plum blossom cup that Mrs. Wei used before her death.
"Last autumn, Mrs. was not in good health, and Lu Lian knew a little about medical science and often adjusted Mrs. Physique's body. She said that it was damp heat, and gave Mrs. this ice stone plum blossom cup, saying that the ice stone is the most suitable to dispel dampness and heat, and use this tea to relieve the disease of dampness and heat, and there is no need to suffer from the pain of medicinal stones......
Cuiyi's expression of hatred suddenly appeared, and even her breathing became short, "Who knew that at the end of the year, Mrs. was even worse, and she could cough up blood every day." I have been serving my wife for decades, and knowing that she has always been cold, I wonder if the diagnosis and treatment are wrong. But blame me for being confused, believing her for so long! ”
"It wasn't until Madame went, and I made many inquiries myself, that I slowly realized that this cup was wrong! The lady's body is cold, and the ice stone is also cold, and using it for a long time is tantamount to killing people with slow poison. ”
Cui Yi was extremely remorseful, and when she said that Mrs. Wei was gone, she looked like crazy, and her hands were clenched into fists and she couldn't stop pounding the ground.
