Xue Zheng believes that Chi Changting did not want to fight with the Duke of Qi, firstly for Chi Tang and the crown prince, and secondly because of the late Duchess of Qi.

Xue Ling can erase all the favors of the Duke of Qi to him, but he can't erase the Duchess of Qi's life-saving grace to the Tang clan.

The truth was not what she expected.

Within a few days, I got a reply from Chi Changting.

After receiving the reply, Xue Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly, lit the brazier, and burned the letter sent by Chi Tang.

Useless.

Even after many years and many scruples, Chi Changting will no longer be as crazy as Tang when he first died, but it is impossible to let it go easily.

Strike the prime minister, let the lord, and leave Beijing - this is the condition for Chi Changting to take over.

There was no reason why my father would agree to this condition, and neither would she.

The Xue family was not defeated by Chi Changting's father and daughter, why was he forced to leave the capital in white?

No matter how partial the prince is to Chi Si, he is also the prince of a country, and he will still be the king of a country in the future, he will not be willing to see Chi Changting cover the sky and exclude dissidents in the court.

If the Xue family and the Chi family fight endlessly, the one who has the upper hand will lose.

As long as his father gave in slightly, he could put Chi Changting in a dilemma.

It's a pity that the change came too quickly-

"Something happened in the palace!" Wei Ningzhi's rare expression was solemn, even if he was facing her, his right hand unconsciously pressed the handle of the knife.

"You want to enter the palace?" Xue Zheng looked at his right hand and said.

Before Wei Ningzhi came, some news had already reached her one after another.

Tonghua Gate and Chunming Gate, which are close to the Duke of Qi, have been under martial law, and there is no news from the rest of the city gates for the time being, but there are already house slaves who have seen the forbidden army running.

As for the palace gate, she also sent someone to investigate, but before she could hear back, Wei Ningzhi came.

Wei Ningzhi raised his hand to stroke her sideburns, nodded "um", and said in a low voice: "When I came, I heard that the prince personally led the guards of the East Palace to enter the Taiji Palace——"

"What's wrong?" Xue Zheng was shocked.

Wei Ningzhi only shook his head: "I don't know, although many forbidden troops have gone to the city gates, there are more people going to the palace——"

"Then don't go!" Xue Zheng blurted out.

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

His appearance is a little feminine, and he usually seems to have a bad stomach when he laughs, but this smile is a little silly, but Xue Zheng is a little uncomfortable laughing at him.

Seeing that Xue Zheng was about to become angry, Wei Ningzhi grabbed the back of her head and kissed her fiercely, and grinned when she let go: "Your man is not a turtle with a shrunken head, if you don't go at such a critical time, how will you get a piece of the pie in the future?" ”

Xue Zheng snorted coldly: "If you go, you may not get it!" ”

His eyes suddenly lit up, kissed her face again, and said with a smile: "I know that I recognize your man, there is progress!" ”

In exchange for Xue Zheng's eyes, he rolled his eyes.

At this moment, another group of Praetorian guards ran through the adjacent street, and the horses' hooves shook the ground.

Wei Ningzhi's subordinate generals also stepped forward to implicitly urge, and he reluctantly instructed: "Stay at home, close the door, and come to see you when I leave the palace!" ”

Xue Zheng originally wanted to push him up for two more sentences, but the words came to his mouth, but he swallowed them back, and only said a faint "um".

Wei Ningzhi walked away proudly.

At this moment when it was suspected that the palace was about to change, he entered the palace so proudly, as if he could ascend the throne, and Xue Zheng was amused.

But at this time, he still thinks about coming to see her, this feeling...... It's still pretty cool!

Xue Zheng bent the corners of his lips and walked in, feeling that he was also a little like his husband could ascend the throne......

……

Wei Ningzhi came back when he was in the second watch, and went directly to Qi Guogong's study with Qi Guogong and her many brothers and brothers-in-law.

When Xue Zheng was muttering about how this guy got in, the Duke of Qi sent someone to invite her over.

When she went to the door, everyone in the house walked out, and Wei Ningzhi was among them, and no one looked relaxed.

"What happened today? What about the eleventh brother and the ninth brother? Xue Zheng pulled Xue Shi and whispered.

"Your Majesty is dead!" Xue Shi replied in a low voice.

"Who is it?" Xue Zheng held his breath and chased.

She had been guessing all day, but she hadn't guessed this step.

When the emperor died, there must be a lot of things waiting for the prince to deal with, Xue Shiyi and Xue Jiu are subordinates of the East Palace, and it is normal that they do not come back together.

Xue Shi didn't answer her second question, and shook his head strangely.

Xue Zheng looked at Wei Ningzhi beside him.

Wei Ningzhi glanced at her meaningfully, without a smile on his face.

……

"How can a big case like the murder of the monarch be easily concluded without going through many trials?" When Qi Guogong answered her question, the corners of his lips seemed to bring out a smile, and under the candlelight, it was a little eerie.

Xue Zheng couldn't help frowning, secretly guessing the purpose of her father's summoning her.

"When the people outside the Ganlu Hall entered, His Majesty was gone, and there were only three people in the hall, Zhou Yi and Qin Gui—" Qi Guogong paused, "and Chi Si!" ”

Xue Zheng's heart sank suddenly, and he frowned: "Your Majesty is dead, the crown prince will ascend the throne soon, and my father plans to attack Chi Si at this time?" ”

Qi Guogong smiled slightly: "Originally, I didn't have this plan, but it's a godsend, it's a pity to let it go." ”

"How does Father think the prince will react?" Xue Zheng felt that he was simply crazy, and if he couldn't get along with Chi Changting, it could still be regarded as a dispute between the court, and he attacked Chi Tang, didn't he deliberately touch the prince's scales?

Qi Guogong smiled and said, "Of course the prince is not happy, but this matter can't follow him, as long as there is no Chi Si, it will be easy to say anything in the future." ”

Xue Zheng was cold and speechless for a long time.

She just thought that if Chi Changting recklessly retaliated against the Qi State Mansion, she would definitely annoy the prince, but she didn't expect that it was her father who was even more presumptuous.

"The prince likes Chi Si so much......" she whispered.

"No matter how much you like it, it won't help!" There was no one around, and the Duke of Qi no longer hid his smile, "The emperor summoned Chi Si privately, and when he died, he was disheveled, and the palace people on duty saw it——"

"Father!" Xue Zheng interrupted him loudly, "I don't agree!" ”

The loud sound shook his chest, and even his breathing hurt, his nails pinched deep into his palms, and his eyes were black.

Ah Tang ......

Such a little and fluffy girl, how dare the dog emperor......

How can you still calculate her and use her?

She didn't say yes!

Qi Guogong smiled, looked at her coldly for a while, and said, "Your surname is Xue!" ”

Xue Zheng gritted his teeth, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Father, you can't force people too much, Chi Changting, Chi Changting will kill you!" ”

Qi Guogong's eyes shrank, vaguely showing fear.

Xue Zheng took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Father, Chi Changting is afraid of Chi Si, so he will only be unable to get along with us on the surface, and on the surface, why should we be afraid of him?" But if something happens to Chi Si and Chi Changting tears his face, then it will be impossible to prevent it! ”

Qi Guogong was thoughtful.

Xue Zheng swallowed his saliva and continued to persuade: "There is also the prince!" Father, the crown prince is the prince, and he will be the king soon, how much he likes Chi Si You also know, spread rumors about Chi Sihe and the prince's biological father-"

She clenched her trembling teeth.

She understood what her father meant.

Not only did he want Chi Tang to be suspected of killing the king, but he also wanted to smear her innocence and completely cut off her from entering the palace!

"Father, you also grew up watching the crown prince," she lowered her voice a little, faintly, "where do you think his bottom line is?" ”

Qi Guogong glanced at her deeply, the corners of his lips moved, and he said lightly: "Although the crown prince ascends the throne quickly, he will have to wait until next year at the earliest." ”

Xue Zheng looked at him in a daze.

He didn't plan to give up dealing with Chi Tang, after all, this was a handle sent to the door, and it was really unreasonable to make good use of it.

It's only March now, and there is still more than half a year to go, and the pond can be pulled from a place one step away from the back position to the abyss.

It's just that none of them expected it, let alone more than half a year, even for half a day, the prince didn't intend to leave it to them-

"The ceremonial official of the East Palace has arrived at Chen Liuhou's Mansion!" When Wei Ningzhi said it, he seemed to feel a little funny, "Everything in the palace is the same, looking at the prince's meaning, it seems that he doesn't want to delay the marriage!" ”

Xue Zheng couldn't laugh, and immediately summoned the house slave Ke Ke and said, "Can the prince be in the mansion?" ”

Answer: "Guogong went out half an hour ago!" ”

Half an hour ago, he must have entered the palace to dissuade the prince!

Xue Zheng thought about it, pushed Wei Ningzhi out, and said, "You go too, you must persuade the prince!" ”

The emperor died but did not mourn secretly, and the wedding was still the same, which had to be revealed, and it was enough to abolish it! The Queen Mother and the Queen are still there!

Wei Ningzhi said funny: "How to persuade? The prince is such a big person, is it appropriate that he doesn't know? ”

Xue Zheng was stunned.

Of course, the prince knew that the prince had been such a calm and self-controlled person since he was a child, and he could see it more clearly than anyone else, but he still made such a choice.

"He just wanted to marry a girl he liked, but they all turned against him, and now whoever persuades him is his enemy! I don't dare go! Wei Ningzhi made two moves in the air with his saber, and said with bared teeth, "This is going to change me, who will persuade you to cut whom!" As he spoke, he smiled at Xue Zheng as if he was taking credit.

Xue Zheng's eyelids jumped, and he pushed him hard: "My father went to persuade him!" ”

……

Wei Ningzhi went for less than half an hour, and brought Qi Guogong back.

"Guogong was set up!" Wei Ningzhi whispered in her ear.

Xue Zheng looked at the closed study door, and his heart was not very good.

When my father returned home, he locked himself in the study, and he must have been deeply shocked when he saw no one.

He has been a prime minister for many years, how could he have suffered such humiliation?

How did it get to this point? Can it be good?

"Someone!" She suddenly called, "Prepare the car!" I'm going out! ”

Wei Ningzhi grabbed her: "Go to the crown princess?" ”

Xue Zheng nodded.

The prince was angry, afraid that he would insist on going his own way, and now only Chitang can persuade the prince.

Wei Ningzhi smiled and said, "The crown princess has already entered the palace!" ”

……

The bell of national mourning finally rang the day after the emperor's death.

As soon as Xue Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, he received an unsigned letter.

There was no signature, but she also recognized the handwriting, after all, she had not seen it in the past two years.

At dusk, take the car out of the house and go to Shengpingfang.

Wei Shi was already waiting there.

"Last night, the suspect who killed the monarch was taken away for about a quarter of an hour!"

Xue Zheng looked at him in shock: "You know a lot!" ”

Wei Shi shuddered for a moment, but rubbed a little beside her, and spoke softly: "My eyes and ears are born for the junjun, the junjun needs me to see, I will see, the junjun needs me to know, I know ......"

"That's it!" Xue Zheng pushed him away with a smile and a smile, "This kind of thing is not something you can know, be careful of causing death!" ”

Wei Shi looked at her with a blank eye: "The county lord protects me!" ”

Xue Zheng shook his head and smiled: "You don't inquire about these things in the future, with your cleverness, Mingzhe is enough to protect yourself." ”

"Jun Jun doesn't want Ah Shi?" Wei Shi was crying.

Xue Zheng said lazily: "I'm going to get married." ”

Wei Shi suddenly looked sneaky: "I heard that Xiao Wulang has been getting a little close to Miss Xie recently. ”

Xue Zheng was surprised: "You don't know that I've been a little close to Wei Ningzhi recently?" ”

Wei Shi was puzzled: "Isn't it normal for Jun Jun to get close to other men?" ”

Xue Zheng sneered and said, "Be careful, Wei Ningzhi is not a good type." ”

"Oh? So what kind of class am I? ”

Xue Zheng looked up at Wei Ningzhi, who had been sitting on the wall for an unknown amount of time, and said to Wei Shi with a normal expression: "You go back, don't come to me again in the future." ”

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

Wei Ningzhi looked coldly at Wei Shi and fled with his head down, then inserted the saber that had been halfway out of the sheath and turned his gaze to Xue Zheng, but did not speak.

Xue Zheng smiled and said, "You shouldn't be spying on me every day, right?" How do you come across everywhere? ”

Wei Ningzhi smiled coldly: "Will the wicked sue first?" ”

Xue Zheng beckoned to him disapprerovingly: "Come down, I have something to ask you." ”

Wei Ningzhi snorted coldly, and then came down.

came down but didn't approach, and said coldly from a distance: "Why don't you explain the surname Wei first?" ”

"He's here to report the news."

"What's the news?"

"Come here, I'll tell you." Xue Zheng beckoned to him again.

Wei Ningzhi walked towards her at this time, and as he walked, he said coldly: "Don't play tricks-"

Before he finished speaking, he was pounced.

Nephrite is warm and fragrant, and it is intoxicating.

"Don't try to fool the past!" Wei Ningyi wrapped her face around her waist and warned with a cold face.

Xue Zheng chuckled, put his arms around his neck, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Someone secretly interrogated Qin Gui last night—"

Wei Ningzhi's eyes were shocked, but there was no one.

—You took this back to the prince...... Recommend my father to preside over the trial of the murder case! ”

Wei Ningzhi turned his head to look at her abruptly.

Xue Zheng nodded lightly at him.

At present, there are two most urgent and serious major events in the court, one is the emperor's funeral, and the other is the murder of the monarch.

But although these two things are important, they have nothing to do with the government and government, and if Qi Guo takes over one of them, some government affairs will have to be let go.

As for how much to put, it depends on the prince's intentions.

"Is that appropriate?" Wei Ningzhihu said suspiciously, "You don't want to get married, do you?" ”

He didn't know how much the prince wanted Qi Guogong to let go, but he would do it...... Then he can still marry the daughter of the Duke of Qi?

"Afraid of what?" Xue Zheng couldn't help laughing, "The prince won't confess to you." ”

"There is no such thing as an impermeable wall!" Wei Ningzhi was still very vigilant.

Xue Zheng smiled and kissed his face: "If the wind is blown, I will elope with you, how about it?" ”

Wei Ningzhi's eyes lit up, and then he showed a puzzled look: "Why bother? The prince may not have known about it. ”

Xue Zheng smiled half-tightly, pulled the corners of his mouth again, and said, "What kind of person do you think Chi Si is?" ”

Wei Ningzhi thought for a while and said, "A little girl with special luck." ”

Xue Zheng sneered: "How can anyone always be lucky? It's not like there's someone to protect you all the time! ”

"It's good luck to have someone to protect you."

"Then you look at yesterday's incident, is she lucky or someone to protect her?" Xue Zheng said.

Wei Ningzhi thought about it for a moment and said in surprise: "You mean Qin Gui?" ”

There were four people in the Ganlu Palace, two of them died, the murder weapon was in Qin Gui's hands, Chi Si was unharmed, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with the blood all over the ground.

"Back then, Chi Si was captured by the remnants of the Yao family, and when he got it back, Qin Gui was also there, and he also broke a finger, you said, Qin Gui was able to break into the forbidden palace alone, such a powerful person, and Chi Si fell into the hands of robbers together, he broke a finger, and Chi Si was unharmed, why?" Xue Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly, "The prince knows, and he will still care about it, if he asks Qin Gui to say something, it will be difficult to clean up." ”

Wei Ningzhi was silent for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be better for you to say it yourself?" ”

Xue Zheng rolled his eyes: "Will I be conspicuous when I enter the palace or will you be conspicuous when you enter the palace?" ”

Wei Ningzhi was still reluctant: "What if Duke Xue knows about my complaint against him and refuses to marry you to me?" ”

"Didn't you say elope?"

"What if you regret it?"

Xue Zheng stroked his forehead: "Forget it, I'll go to Xiao Wu-"

"You dare!" Wei Ningzhi narrowed his eyes, suddenly picked her up, took three steps and two steps into the back room, and threw her on the bed.

Xue Zheng subconsciously struggled to get up, but he grabbed his wrist, and tied it up in a blink of an eye.

"How about giving me a baby?" As he spoke, he covered his body, and his eyes suddenly softened.

Xue Zheng was pressed by him so that his heart beat a little fast, cleared his throat, and said, "It's the time of the national funeral. ”

"So what?" He took the red rope that bound her wrist and wrapped it around her slender white fingers, just as she had wrapped the red rope that bound him between her fingers.

"Are you afraid?" He can.

Xue Zheng shook his head and chuckled: "Can you let me go first?" ”

He laughed, "Can't-" As he spoke, he slammed his hand and tore her shirt.

If you can't, you can't, she and Wei Ningzhi just can't seem to be quiet, but this is ...... It's also exciting......

Closing his eyes and gasping softly, he called out to him.

Wei Ningzhi didn't respond, maybe he didn't listen at all.

Xue Zheng unconsciously twisted his waist to dodge, and said softly: "Wei Ningzhi...... You...... You tap ......"

His body froze suddenly—

……

After the small burial of Emperor Daxing, the crown prince refused to ascend the throne in front of the coffin, said a bunch of high-sounding reasons, and postponed the marriage period to the 27th after the completion of filial piety.

Subsequently, the crown prince summoned the three prime ministers in the Wude Palace, and ordered Xue Xiang, the Duke of Qi, to preside over the trial of the murder case, and the Bohai Duke Gao to preside over the imperial mausoleum, and the power of government affairs fell into the hands of Xiao Xiang and several deputy ministers.

Isn't Chi Changting one of the deputy ministers?

"The prince is really eccentric!" She couldn't help but complain, even in front of Chi Tang.

Chi Tang looked at her in a daze, and said softly: "Your Highness, Your Highness said, it's hard for you." ”

Xue Zheng suddenly had a sour nose, blinked, forcibly endured it, and sneered at Chi Tang: "Your Highness said? ”

Chi Tang opened his eyes: "Yes, otherwise who else?" ”

Xue Zheng sneered: "Yes! Who else could there be? Some people will only rely on the favor of the prince to slander and give up the lord or something! ”

Chi Tang's face flushed, but he endured the denial that came to his mouth, took a deep breath, and said indifferently: "You say yes, right!" ”

"You-" Xue Zheng subconsciously got up to pinch her face, stood up halfway, and sat back stupidly, "I know everything!" ”

His father secretly met with Qin Gui to plot about Chi Tang, and before Wei Ningzhi entered the palace to report the news, Chi Changting and the prince knew about it.

Strike the prime minister, let the lord, leave Beijing, without Chi Changting saying it, the prince himself can think of it.

It was Chi Tang who persuaded the prince: "The prime minister's retreat is not dignified, and it also hurts the face of the Son of Heaven." The crown prince retained his father's title and gave him a step to resign.

When Xue Zheng learned about this from the prince's mouth, he couldn't say anything in his heart.

It's about making people bigger!

I can't bear it, and I can't go back.

So be it......

Coming out of Chen Liuhou's Mansion, he was not surprised to see Wei Ningzhi wandering outside the door.

When Wei Ningyi saw her, he stepped up, frowned and said, "Did the crown princess bully you?" ”

Xue Zheng was amused: "Can she bully me?" ”

Wei Ningzhi hesitated: "Even if Xue Gong retreats, you still have me!" With me, no one can bully you! ”

Xue Zheng laughed when he heard it: "What do you think?" With or without you, no one can bully me! ”

Wei Ningzhi frowned and looked at her for a while, and suddenly smiled evilly: "That's right, only I can bully you!" ”

Xue Zheng blushed: "Get out!" "Twisted into the car.

Wei Ningzhi caught up and said, "How about I go to propose today?" ”

"Marriage leave is prohibited during the state funeral."

"But in a few days, if Gong Xue knows about me...... What if you don't get married? ”

"It's not like to say, if you don't let me, you will elope!"

"How about eloping now?"

Xue Zheng was laughing when he heard this, and suddenly his eyes lit up, Wei Ningzhi lifted the curtain of the car and came in, and couldn't help but fish her out.

The volley tossed and turned, landed on the horse's back, and rushed out like an arrow off the string.

The wind blew through the ears, sending passers-by to shout countless times.

She suddenly remembered that when she tied up a handsome young man and rode into the city that day, she touched his face and teased: "How about going back to the house with me?" ”

He vaguely replied-

"Good!" Xue Zheng said.

(Xue Zheng's end)
