Chapter 231: Chain Reaction
This night, Wei Zhao did not need to be as excessive, but hugged Xie Yanhe in his arms, his arms across her slender waist, and hugged her to sleep in an absolutely controlled posture.
What Xie Yanhe didn't know was that after Wei Zhao waited for her to fall asleep, he went to the side hall alone and took a copy of "Spring and Autumn" from the bookshelf, but he didn't read a word.
"Your Majesty." Shen Yue appeared in the side hall and knelt down on one knee in front of the emperor.
"Did you find out?" Wei Zhao closed the book and rubbed his eyebrows.
I haven't slept all night, and there is no trace of tiredness between Wei Zhao's eyebrows, but there is a thick haze shrouded in a pair of ink eyes, as if the bursting temper can no longer be suppressed, but for some reason, it is forcibly suppressed.
"Back to Your Majesty, Li Mu is already on the way."
Shen Yue said without emotion. But no one knew that a layer of fine sweat had oozed from his palms.
"It's infatuation." Wei Zhao lifted his thin lips, and the corners of his lips provoked a sarcastic arc.
He slowly and methodically turned the wrench on his thumb, and the line of his jaw was stretched in a straight line.
"Your Majesty, do you want your subordinates to deal with him?" Shen Yue, as the best knife in Wei Zhao's hand, almost engraved the word "Zhongjun" on his head.
In him, there is no moral righteousness, only the will of the king is his will.
"If you don't have self-knowledge, you don't have to care." Wei Zhao's tone was light, and the light in his ink eyes concealed disdain.
After a while, Wei Zhao curled his lips meaninglessly: "Since she trusts Li Mu so much, I will follow her." I also want to see if Li Mu can be of great use. ”
As a king, Wei Zhao would not even have this kind of grace.
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
Shen Yue responded, and then asked: "Your Majesty, there was a distress signal from Funan the day before, and Marquis Jingping may have encountered an accident. ”
"Don't act rashly just yet." Wei Zhao's face was solemn.
If Xie Han had a mistake, he probably wouldn't forgive himself in his life.
"How's the preparation going in Li Zongtang?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the grain and grass have been prepared, and the vanguard army has made a detour from Shuzhou, and is now entrenched in a mountain forest. Foreign...... is to cover up as a mountain bandit. ”
Shen Yue receives thousands of pieces of information on his desk every day, which is already the result of layers of screening.
In the end, his deputy screened out the most important news, and Shen Yue dealt with them one by one.
"Except for mountain bandits, they are water bandits. Li Zongtang made such perfunctory excuses every time. Wei Zhao said this with a smile, his sword eyebrows twisted slightly, as if he was pondering.
Just as time seemed to have passed for so long, Wei Zhao opened his lips and said slowly: "You mobilize all the secret guards of the Xuanwu Department, and on the fifth day at the latest, I will take Duan Yi's head." ”
"Subordinates obey!" Although this task may be difficult to perform, Shen Yue did not hesitate to answer.
Wei Zhao sat in the empty side hall, looking at the candle flame that had burned out on the candlestick, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.
Sleep, when will you be able to trust me more, instead of "rushing to the doctor".
……
When Xie Yanhe woke up, he found Wei Zhao sitting on the edge of his bed, his dark clothes seemed to be stained with light dew.
Xie Yanhe's consciousness was still a little foggy, but he subconsciously got into Wei Zhao's arms.
The cold, silky fabric stuck to her skin, and Xie Yanhe instantly came to his senses. She opened her eyes wide and said, "You don't have to go to court today, where have you been?" ”
"There are government affairs waiting for me to deal with."
Wei Zhao explained this sentence and had no intention of talking about it. He stepped aside, watched the palace maid serve Xie Yanhe and change clothes, waited until Xie Yanhe sat in front of the windowsill, and personally helped Xie Yanhe with a box of snails and a box of snails.
Xie Yanhe looked at the distant mountain eyebrows in the mirror, a deep surprise flashed in the peach blossom eyes, and then a sour feeling surged into her heart, and she didn't even notice it.
"How many women have you painted eyebrows before practice makes perfect?"
The vinegar in Xie Yanhe's words softened Wei Zhao's gloomy eyebrows a lot.
He chuckled: "When I see you, I don't know what to do." ”
Xie Yanhe didn't believe Wei Zhao's words, she snorted lightly, and left from the dressing table, with an aura of no one approaching her body, and she almost wrote the word "unhappy" on her face.
Wei Zhao was angry and funny.
Little one without a conscience! She was a married woman who had a private meeting with a foreign man on the Zhuangzi where her sister-in-law was married, and before she could attack her, she shouted that she was a thief and caught the thief.
But Wei Zhao didn't intend to debunk this matter.
Wei Zhao knew very well that if he pierced this layer of window paper, Xie Yanhe would inevitably leave an intractable knot in his heart under the annoyance and anger.
Anyway, the rest of her life is her own, and instead of-for-tat, it is better to be careless and envelop her and weave a love network that she can't escape, which is the best way.
"Since you are going to escape the summer, you will temporarily hand over the palace power to Fuqing, and if there is any internal affairs that she can't handle, let her send someone to Xiaotangshan."
Wei Zhao took Xie Yanhe's soft hand, and the two of them sat side by side at the dining table, which he mentioned casually.
Xie Yanhe would never hand over the palace power in his hand to Chen Rong, an enemy.
Wei Zhao's arrangement is exactly what she wants.
Xie Anhe raised a bright smile and took the initiative to add a bowl of porridge to Wei Zhao.
"I asked people to boil white fungus lily porridge with soaphorn rice, taste it, is it very sweet."
The little girl is not sweet or happy. For her sweetness, Wei Zhao bowed down.
But since it was served by Xie Yanhe himself, Wei Zhao took it very face-savingly, he scooped up a spoonful and put it into his lips, only to find that there was only a small amount of rock sugar in the porridge, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Xie Yan finished drinking the porridge in the bowl without changing her face, and she wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, only to find that Wei Zhao had been watching her.
Xie Yanhe asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Do I have something on my face? ”
Xie Yanhe's reaction was so natural, Wei Zhao's heart seemed to have been soaked in warm honey for a moment, and the dark emotions such as resentment, unwillingness, and jealousy that still remained in his heart faded like a tide.
Wei Zhao said with a moving expression: "You don't need to accommodate my taste. ”
The vegetarian porridge that tasted just the right sweetness in himself should be bland and tasteless in Xie Yanhe.
Wei Zhao had already figured out her eating habits.
Although the little girl has a light taste, she doesn't like tasteless white porridge. Or put sugar, or raw rolling fish fillet porridge, shredded chicken porridge, shrimp porridge, sea cucumber porridge...... It's all a taste that I can't accept.
Finding that she was willing to accommodate herself, how could Wei Zhao not be moved.
Xie Yanhe swallowed half of the shrimp dumplings in his mouth, drank another spoonful of bamboo sunflower black chicken soup, and then said unhurriedly: "I didn't accommodate you." I just think it's good to change the taste once in a while. ”
After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, he gave Wei Zhao a chopstick salad with cold eel, and said angrily: "Eat quickly!" I've got something to ask you when I'm done. ”
After breakfast, Xie Yanhe drank a cup of tea before mentioning the things that made her feel disappointed.
"Qin's miscarriage, how is the investigation in the East Palace?"
Xie Yanhe asked.
"I didn't find out anything." As Wei Zhao spoke, the two sword eyebrows subconsciously frowned.
Although he was extremely disappointed in the crown prince, the child in the Qin family's womb was Wei Zhao's first grandchild after all, how could he not pay attention to it
"Could it be that the Qin clan really had an accidental miscarriage?" Xie Yanhe, as the one who knows the truth, acted without the slightest flaw
Hearing this, Wei Zhao glanced at Xie Yanhe with a smile, and said lightly, "Who are you suspecting?" ”
"Do you have to let me say it?" Xie Yanhe pursed two rosy cherry lips, and a pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, like a cunning cat.
"In fact, as long as you think about it, once the Qin family gives birth to a boy, it will be clear whose foundation is most likely to be shaken."
With Xie Yanhe's accumulated grudge with Chen Rong, it is impossible for her not to fall into the trap in this matter, so her current reaction is the most natural.
"You don't have to meddle in this matter, go with the East Palace."
Wei Zhao also listed the crown princess as a suspicious candidate in his heart, but without evidence, there was no reason to punish the crown princess for the sake of a palace person.
Since it was the prince who spoiled people, this mess should also be cleaned up by the prince.
Xie Yanhe once again gave Chen Rong eye medicine to Wei Zhao, since Wei Zhao didn't let her take care of it, Xie Yanhe really didn't care.
"After the will to canonize Tao Tao as the county lord comes down, I want to hold a celebratory banquet for Tao Tao in the Xiaotangshan Palace, is it okay?"
Xie Yanhe shook Wei Zhao's arm and said coquettishly.
There has never been a courtier who can hold a banquet at the royal court, let alone the queen herself to hold a courtier.
But Xie Yanhe loves this niece very much and just wants to give her the best.
"Don't shake it, I didn't say no." Wei Zhao said with a smile.
I don't know how many times this little conscienceless trick has been repeated, but Wei Zhao just eats her set.
Xie Yanhe withdrew her hand, but patted her forehead, and she muttered in annoyance: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot to mention it to you." Since the official positions of the second and fourth rooms of the Chu family have been pushed to the end, in order not to underestimate Fuqing, the husband might as well also seal Sister Zhu as the county lord, so it can be regarded as a double happiness. ”
"The reward of the imperial court, in your place, is so worthless?"
Wei Zhao was amused by Xie Yanhe's tone like buying Chinese cabbage.
Fortunately, there are only a few people who can enter her eyes, otherwise one will be rewarded today, and one will be rewarded tomorrow, not to mention the impeachment of the imperial history, the treasury will be empty.
"Husband, do you agree?"
Xie Yanhe knows very well that for Princess Fuqing, Wei Zhao still has a responsibility as a father, and for this daughter, he appreciates, loves, and values her, but for Brother Ze and Sister Zhu, Wei Zhao's feelings are very ordinary.
"If you want a nice title, I'll agree."
Wei Zhao still wanted to take Xie Yanhe to Yilan Lake to fish for a while, and he didn't want to waste his time on these inconsequential little things.
"How is Lord Roujia?" It's just a title, and it's not so difficult, Xie Yanhe thought about it in an instant.
Wei Zhao raised his voice and summoned Feng Hui: "Let the Ministry of Rites add another decree to canonize the daughter of Princess Fuqing as the lord of Roujia." ”
Wei Zhao said succinctly.
Easily asked his niece and ally's daughter for the title of county lord, although Xie Yanhe had already restrained the smile on the corner of his lips, but the pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes seemed to be able to speak, flashing with flying and wanton brilliance, which was even more gorgeous and dazzling than a gem.
Wei Zhao secretly thought that the titles of the two county lords could make her happy, and it would be worth it.
Xie Han disappeared, she didn't know how to be frightened in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it in front of herself, which shows how much torture she suffered in her heart!
Although Wei Zhao was angry that she refused to trust herself, she also knew that it was necessary to take her time to establish trust between husband and wife, and she was still more distressed.
Now that she can see her smile from the bottom of her heart, the string that was originally taut in Wei Zhao's heart has loosened slightly.
……
In the East Palace.
After Wei Jin learned of these two wills, a sneer immediately appeared on the corner of his lips.
Lord of Yunyang! Lord of Roujia! When will a courtier's daughter and the daughter of a princess also be eligible to be crowned a county lord?!
If he had a daughter in the future, wouldn't he be on an equal footing with these two people!
My father is old and fascinated, and he dares to do the thing of "Beacon Opera Princes", but it is ridiculous that these ministers are upright one by one, but they don't even have the courage to advise their father!
Wei Jin endured the tyranny in his heart, so he didn't use the four treasures of the study on the desk as a tool for venting!
Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue glanced at each other, and the eyes of the two of them were glued in mid-air, and there was a sense of sparks flying.
It's just that Wei Jin, the crown prince, was completely immersed in his emotions, so he didn't notice that his most trusted right-hand man had long been at odds with each other!
"Your Highness, the decree will not change. His Royal Highness might as well be generous, follow behind His Majesty, and give the reward, so as not to lose the demeanor of the prince. ”
Gu Jiuheng admonished.
In this way, it can also send a signal to everyone. Let these people know that the contradictions between the East Palace and the queen and Princess Fuqing are not irreconcilable.
"Don't worry, sir, Lone won't be stupid again." Wei Jin said solemnly.
There is no need to be told by others, Wei Jin also knows how disappointed he has been to the subordinates of the East Palace for most of the past six months! Especially Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue.
Every time I make a bitter exhortation, I am in violation of the yang and the yin, or I directly discount it to carry it out. It seems that since Xie Yanhe returned to Beijing, he has been constantly making stupid mistakes. The previous calmness is gone, but is led away by irrational emotions.
Now, Wei Jin has completely sobered up.
He realized that it was because of guilt and indebtedness that he was impatient to smooth out this disgraceful affair.
But as Mr. Gu said, it's better to be blocked than to be sparse. Since you have made mistakes first, you should not always try to cover them up, but it is better to be frank and show a sincere attitude.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious." Gu Jiuheng's words interrupted Wei Jin's thoughts.
Wei Jin immediately came back to his senses, he faced Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue, bowed, and said very sincerely: "In the past, it was lonely and wrong, and it was bent on going his own way, which caused many mistakes, thank you to the two gentlemen for not giving up on loneliness." After Loneliness...... Never let the two gentlemen down. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too polite, and it is within the affairs of the ministers."
No matter what they thought in their hearts, Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue got up at the same time and helped the prince up one left and one right.
The atmosphere in the small study room was joyful.
The water room here is not so wonderful.
"Slut! How dare you calculate me! ”
Zhang Desong slapped Wei Zisu in front of him, and slapped Wei Zisu's cheek, and his white and tender face immediately became red and swollen.
Wei Zisu covered his face, looking at Zhang Desong's eyes full of hatred and resentment, he didn't even bother to cover it up.
Wei Zisu stretched out her thumb and viciously wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, she looked at the person in front of her coldly, exerted all her strength, and threw it over with the same slap!
Zhang Desong didn't expect that Wei Zisu was so bold that he dared to fight back!
Defenseless, Zhang Desong was beaten by Wei Zisu and stumbled, and there was a hot pain on his face, Zhang Desong spit out the blood foam in his mouth, and his face was hideous.
"Slut, you still dare to fight back!"
Zhang Desong said, and was about to pounce on Wei Zisu to teach this little slut a good lesson.
But I heard Wei Zisu say lightly: "If you dare to do it to me, aren't you afraid that I will die with you?" ”
Wei Zisu's voice did not fluctuate in the slightest, but her calm tone was like a poisonous snake spitting out a scarlet letter, full of damp, cold, sticky~ greasy feeling, which made people shudder.
Zhang Desong shuddered, and involuntarily took a big step back.
Seeing this, Wei Zisu did not hide the ridicule in her eyes, and she sneered: "Sure enough, it is something without roots, and you have this ability." ”
Zhang Desong was poked in the sore spot by Wei Zisu, his eyes were almost bleeding in anger, and he said coldly: "Don't think that our family doesn't dare to clean you up!" In this palace, there are more palace maids who have filled in the wells. ”
"Threaten me?" Wei Zisu didn't mean to be soft, she sneered: "What about those warblers who think I'm you?!" I, Wei Zisu, was not frightened. ”
Wei Zisu finished speaking. Glancing at Zhang Desong's empty waist, he said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhang, let me remind you that you have long been unable to protect yourself." The only person who can save you is me, or rather, the crown princess standing behind me. ”
Looking at Zhang Desong's suddenly discolored face, Wei Zisu almost laughed. This feeling of raising eyebrows and exhaling is really exciting!
Zhang Desong, Zhang Desong, I can't imagine it, you also have today! The woman you look down on the most is put on a stand! I've been feeling this kind of toying with applause for too long, and now, it's your turn!
Wei Zisu looked at Zhang Desong's gaze as if he was looking at a disgusting thing, with contempt, disgust, and the pleasure of cat and mouse.
"Why are you doing this!" Zhang Desong gritted his teeth and said.
Zhang Desong thinks that he is not thin on Wei Zisu! Although she has a new favorite, she has not left Wei Zisu behind, and she has never been stingy with what she wants.
As a result, he raised a revenge!
In addition to resentment, Zhang Desong was more puzzled.
Wei Zisu saw through what Zhang Desong was thinking at a glance, and she sneered: "Do you really think that I voluntarily followed you?" You don't know how disgusting I am every time I sleep next to you! ”
Men like to be self-righteous, and although Zhang Desong is not a man anymore, he is the same. But Wei Zisu didn't have much interest in tearing up his past with Zhang Desong!
As a winner, her attitude is much calmer than that of Zhang Desong.
"Don't blame me, it's because you yourself are deceived by beauty that you can easily fall into my trap."
Wei Zisu admitted that Zhang Desong is still very smart.
Qin Xueshu suddenly had a miscarriage, but the Tai Hospital did not find any problems, and the confessions of those palace people were also normal.
But Zhang Desong could quickly guess that the problem was with the sachet he was wearing. Obviously, he doesn't know anything about spices, but he has the acumen and intuition to see through the truth at a glance, so it's no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values him so much.
"There is only one way for you to go now, and that is to secretly surrender to the crown princess. Otherwise, once the truth is revealed, you, the position of the first person next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, will have to be replaced. ”
Wei Zisu took a moment to put down a threat.
She knows that Zhang Desong is a smart person and knows how he should choose.
"Wei Zisu, you are really tall! used me, not only showed a big face in front of the crown princess, but also took the opportunity to retaliate against me and threaten me to secretly do things for the crown princess. Kill three birds with one stone, I really underestimated your ability before! ”
Zhang Desong squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
Wei Zisu curled his lips and said with a smile: "I will take these words as a compliment." ”
She expected that Zhang Desong would not dare not agree, so in the face of Zhang Desong's anger that he had nowhere to vent, Wei Zisu always looked at ease.
"Yes, very!" Although Zhang Desong viciously vicious Wei Zisu, he could know the truth that "people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads", he endured the hatred in his heart and said: "Our family promised you." ”
"Father-in-law Zhang is really 'a man who knows the times is a handsome', and in the future, the whereabouts of the prince will bother you to send a copy to the Ganlu Palace. Just ......"
Wei Zisu blew his pale pink nails and warned: "If there is a second Qin clan in the East Palace, you know the temper of the crown princess, and I don't think I need to talk about the consequences." ”
In the face of Wei Zisu's warning, Zhang Desong not only did not get angry, but pulled the corners of his mouth and said with bad intentions: "The crown princess doesn't know that she can't give birth to herself. If you still block the palace people and don't let them live, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be extinct. The last thing is small, but the position of the prince is big. ”
"What did you say?!" Wei Zisu's head exploded with a "buzz", and there seemed to be countless murmurs echoing in her ears, so that she couldn't hear what Zhang Desong said later!
"Our family said that the crown princess can't give birth."
Zhang Desong took in the look on Wei Zisu's face, especially the sense of despair on Wei Zisu's face as if the sky had fallen, which made Zhang Desong feel a little more comfortable.
"Tsk, look at your poor little look. Unexpectedly, the backer I chose by myself was actually a false shelf. Wei Zisu, Wei Zisu, you are really smart and confused! ”
Zhang Desong's voice was full of ridicule.
It's just some news about selling the crown princess. Although there is a risk of being discovered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as long as you operate it well, you may not be able to pass the test.
It's Wei Zisu!
Zhang Desong curled his lips in a good mood.
