Yes, they should have been the closest people in the world, but because of their identity and interests, they had to become each other's opponents, and finally became unrecognizable, and they may not even know themselves.

"Don't think too much about it, since this matter is already known, the emperor can make any plans in advance, but ......"

Song Erniu didn't want to look at Xiangxi too sadly, and after hesitating, she spoke, "The Eighth Prince hasn't made a big mistake yet, if the emperor encircles and suppresses the Eighth Prince's henchmen, can he ......?"

"You want to intercede for Brother Eight?" The emperor was puzzled, "Why?" I remember that you used to be at odds with the Eight Emperor Brothers. "Why do you want to help her intercede now?

Song Erniu put down the teacup in her hand and looked up at the moonlight outside, "Because of Xiangxi, because of her desperation, I can't bear her to keep an empty game." If her wish is to accompany the eighth prince for the rest of her life, then I will try my best to fulfill him. ”

Seeing that the emperor was silent, he thought he disagreed, and continued to explain, "I know that this move may be a bit risky for the emperor, but I can assure the emperor that as long as the emperor can surround the life of the eighth prince, I will definitely guarantee that the eighth prince will not have the heart to rebel again." ”

"You said that people's hearts are unpredictable, what are the absolutes."

The emperor put down the book in his hand, "I will send someone to investigate this matter and then answer you, if the Eighth Emperor Brother really didn't do anything about the orange, I can spare his life, but if his actions hurt the innocent, even if I want to spare him, I am afraid that the civil and military officials will not agree." ”

Everyone says that it is good to be the emperor, under one person, and above ten thousand, but when you really achieve this position, you will know the helplessness and suffering.

If you can re-select ...... The emperor looked at Song Erniu's fair side face and fell into a tangle......

No, if he chooses again, he will still choose to sit in this position.

"By the way, what is the emperor's plan regarding the Wei family?"

Miss Wei came to find Song Erniu yesterday, and Miss Wei hoped that Song Erniu could mention the Wei family's affairs before the emperor. Song Erniu didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Wei family, but she thought of Xiaoxue's sister and brother...... In the end, there was no refusal.

"If the emperor is inconvenient, you can slow it down a little longer......"

"You want me to get to the bottom of this case?" The emperor asked Song Erniu rhetorically.

Song Erniu was puzzled, "What's wrong?" Does the emperor think that this case cannot be investigated? ”

The case of the Chu family was forced to be suppressed because of the obstruction of the former emperor, why, the affairs of the Wei family should also be suppressed? Is it true that all unjust cases and wrongful cases must be wrong to the end?

Song Erniu was a little incomprehensible, and stood up a little angrily, "Your Majesty, everyone makes mistakes, and besides, as far as I know, the affairs of the Wei family have nothing to do with the royal family, why does the emperor still disagree......"

Then he thought of something, and immediately changed his face, "I almost forgot, the emperor's future queen is from the Ji family, and the emperor doesn't want to meddle in this case but wants to be partial to the Ji family?" ”

Song Erniu didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and said angrily, "What is the distinction between public and private, what loves the people like a son, those are just the emperor's casual words." Could it be that the Wei family is not your people, and the Ji family made a mistake, just because he is your father-in-law's family, so he can get away with it? ”

"What the emperor kept saying, but in the end, it seems that it is just some empty words."

Song Erniu sneered and took two steps back, "Why am I so naïve, I still believe your excuses." ”

"That's not what I meant." The emperor stepped forward to explain, "You misunderstood, the reason why I don't plan to investigate the affairs of the Wei family now......"

"The emperor is the ninety-five, the emperor can do whatever he wants, those of us who are the people listen to it. The emperor doesn't need to explain. It was the people's daughter who was reckless just now, does the emperor have any other orders? If there are no people's daughters, they will go back and rest. ”

After Song Erniu finished speaking, she didn't wait for the emperor to speak, turned around and left the Qianqing Palace.

The prince stood aside and watched, surprised and surprised. This Song girl is really not an ordinary person, and it is just a matter of scolding Ji Guifei and the future queen in public today. At the moment, even the emperor dares to scare ......

The emperor is not even angry at all, and even a little worried, it seems that the emperor really likes Miss Song.

"Alright, let's take all the food off."

The emperor turned around and went to the study, and the prince called his subordinates and followed the emperor to the study.

On the other side, Song Erniu sat in front of the window, feeling the cold wind of early winter from time to time, and quickly thinking about the Wei family's case in her heart.

At that time, Miss Wei said that the Wei family was also anonymously exposed as a rebel, and later the Imperial Forest Army had found letters with neighboring countries in the Wei family, and it was precisely because of these letters that the emperor would kill more than 100 people of the Wei family in a fit of anger.

It is said that the one who led the troops to search the Wei family at that time was Lord Zhongyong Hou Ji.

So everything back then was a conspiracy made up by Master Ji, what letters, what rebellion, maybe it was just a play directed and acted by Lord Ji himself

The purpose is naturally for the Wei family.

By the way, she still remembered that Miss Wei once said that Master Ji had a little daughter, and she liked the third son of the Ji family very much back then, but the third son of the Ji family already had a sweetheart, and when the Ji family intended to match, the Wei family politely refused the matter. Soon after, the Ji family began to make all kinds of troubles for the Wei family.

Could it be that the Ji family attacked the Wei family because of this?

What about the little daughter of the Ji family? The one she heard the most was Concubine Ji, and as for the other daughters of the Ji family, she never seemed to have heard anyone mention it.

Song Erniu had nothing to do, so she called the palace maid to ask, "The youngest daughter of the Ji family died more than ten years ago, and it is said to be ......."

The palace maid seemed to be a little frightened, glanced left and right a few times, and after making sure that there was no one else, she spoke cautiously, "It is said that she killed herself on the night when the third son of the Wei family got married. Mrs. Ji was heartbroken and died not long after. ”

Is there such a thing? Song Erniu was surprised, she was also an infatuated woman, but she didn't meet the right person.

"Why did Miss Song suddenly remember this, this is the taboo of the Ji family."

"Why is it taboo/" Song Erniu was puzzled, what everyone in Kyoto City knew, the Ji family still had to taboo, isn't this a cover-up and stealing the bell?

"The slave and maid don't know, but the slave and maid heard that Lord Ji and Mrs. Ji have a very good relationship, and after Mrs. Ji died, Lord Ji was sad for a long time before he came to his senses, but after so many years, every year on the day of Mrs. Ji's death, Lord Ji has to go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to worship Mrs. Ji. Carefully calculate the time, it should be these days. ”

"Why go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing?"

"It is said that Mrs. Ji used to be the daughter of a tenant in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the Ji family's capital, and when she was an adult, she fell in love with Mrs. Ji at a glance. At that time, everyone felt that this marriage was not the right house, and it must be unsatisfactory, who knew that after many years, Lord Ji and Mrs. Ji have always been in love, but they envied many people in Kyoto. ”

It turns out that there is such a play. Song Erniu is really getting more and more curious about this Master Ji.

Before, she always thought that the Ji family must be the corrupt officials mentioned in the TV series and the vicious supporting characters in the novel, but now that she heard the words of the palace maid, she suddenly felt that maybe the Ji family did this for other reasons.

Song Erniu wanted to find out the grievances between the Ji family and the Wei family, so she left the palace the next morning, and after returning home, she went to the beauty square to find someone to inquire about the itinerary of Lord Ji in the last few days.

Song Erniu also bought Zhuangzi on a whim a few days ago, and originally planned to take care of it at the beginning of spring next year, which will be just used.

"Mother, it's cold and remote here, why are we here?"

Xiaobao is used to having a lot of children play together every day, and it is deserted here, which is not interesting at all. Xiaobao just wanted to go home when he came.

Song Erniu coaxed her to the front hall.

"Does Xiaobao think this Zhuangzi is good-looking?"

Xiao Bao glanced around matter-of-factly, and then commented seriously, "Good-looking, mother, are we going to live here in the future?" ”

"Of course not, let's get familiar with this place first, and when spring begins next year, my mother will grow a lot of delicious food for you here."

As soon as he heard the delicious food, Xiaobao immediately lost his principles, "Okay, good, my mother is the best." ”

"You are really unprincipled, you just said that your mother is not good, why do you feel good when you hear that there is something delicious."

Song Erniu called the eldest girl with a smile, "Okay, let's go play." Let's take a look below. ”

Song Daniu didn't know the purpose of Song Erniu's coming here, thinking that she was really just coming to see, so she said her plans for next year with a serious face. Song Erniu didn't listen to a word, and while walking, she paid attention to Zhuangzi opposite

Yes, the Zhuangzi on the opposite side is the Zhuangzi of the Ji family, and the truth is so coincidental.

"Sister, you take a look here first, and I'll go over for a while."

Song Erniu inquired with a few villagers, and really inquired about some things about Mrs. Ji, but the version seemed to be a little different from what the palace maid said

"What kind of love is so pleasant...... the woman looked disdainful, and only after she finished speaking did she come back to her senses, and immediately looked around cautiously. I was sure that no one else knew, so I quickly took my things and left.

"Hey...... Auntie, don't go. ”

Song Erniu chased after her, "Auntie, you and I can talk about it again." ”

"You girl, you know what to do, I told you that the Ji family is not easy to mess with. Be careful if you know too much and lose your life. ”

Song Erniu didn't expect these people to be so taboo about the Ji family, and knew that they would definitely not be able to ask anything here, so they changed their minds.

"Auntie, my children and I just came over today, and we don't have anything at home, so I wonder if I can go to your house for a light meal at noon?"

The woman opened her mouth to refuse, but before she could speak, she saw an additional piece of silver in front of her.

The woman quickly took the silver and immediately changed her face, "Yes, but you also know that there is nothing good in the country. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The girl will go back first, and I'll bring the children over later. ”

Half an hour later, Song Erniu took a few people to the woman's house. The courtyard of the woman's house was large. But the home is very simple.

In addition to the main house, which is an adobe house, the kitchen and miscellaneous store room are thatched houses, and the yard can be said to be unobstructed.

The woman had only two or three of them, but now she saw five of them, and she was immediately upset.

"Why are there so many people?" The woman muttered, "I don't have much to eat, so I'll barely make do with it later."

"Auntie doesn't need to prepare much, we don't eat much." Song Erniu smiled and found a bench to help in the kitchen, and while helping the woman light the fire, she asked about the gossip in the village.

"In our village, the most famous is the Chen family. The mother-in-law of the Chen family gave birth to a pair of twin sisters, who looked so good-looking, since the two sisters were in their teens, the matchmaker went in and out every day, but the Chen family had high eyelids, and none of them looked down on ......"

"More than 20 years ago, suddenly one day, the eldest girl met a noble son, who wanted to marry him, but I heard that it was just a concubine. The Chen family and his wife didn't dare, so they locked the girl in the house for many days, and then the girl ran away with someone. ”

"And later." Song Erniu originally thought it was just some gossip, so she should be listening to it to pass the time.

More than a year later, the second girl decided on a family, which was the eldest son of the village chief, and the two of them were going to get married. The second daughter came back suddenly, and she also brought back a child. ”

The Chen family and his wife angrily chased the eldest daughter all over the village. Not long after, the eldest daughter suddenly left the child and left, the Chen family and his wife were going to lose the child, who knew that there was a noble man in the village that day, and that noble man was Lord Ji. The two girls of the Chen family looked too similar, so Master Ji regarded the second child as the eldest and had to marry him. ”

He also said that the children were theirs. The second girl was unwilling, crying to death, but the Chen family was reluctant to give this opportunity to make a fortune, so they sent the second girl to the sedan chair. ”

"Guess the result? Everyone thought it was a concubine, but who knew that after entering the city, she turned into a lady. ”

The woman's tone showed surprise, but in fact, there was more disdain on her face, as if there was no envy for this matter, more distress and helplessness.

"But how did I hear that Lord Ji and Mrs. Ji have a very good relationship, but Lord Ji fell in love with him at first sight......

Song Erniu was puzzled, could it be that these rumors were all false?

"Later, what about the eldest son of the village, what about the eldest girl of the Chen family?" Song Erniu couldn't wait to know what happened to them later.

"The eldest son of the village chief's family has not married until now, and the village chief's daughter-in-law hates the Chen family to death for this. It's a pity that the Chen family felt that they were booming, and they moved out of the capital a few years ago. I haven't been back to the village for years. ”

"As for the eldest girl in their family, no one knows." After a pause, the woman changed her words, "It seems that in the next few years, someone has seen the eldest girl of the Chen family in the city, and it seems that she is doing quite well." I don't know the specifics. ”

Song Erniu couldn't ask anything again, so after eating, she took Xiaobao and them back to Zhuangzi

After thinking about it carefully, I always felt that something was wrong, so I asked other villagers in the afternoon, but the content of the question was similar to what the woman said in the morning.

stayed in Zhuangzi for another two days, and when the Ji family left, Song Erniu went to the village again.

This time there was finally something to gain.

"What the village chief means is that Lord Ji's wife is not the second girl of the Chen family at all, but the eldest girl. But when the eldest girl ran away, you also watched the second girl get on the sedan chair with your own eyes, how could you be mistaken? ”

Song Erniu was puzzled. Who does Master Ji really like? What did he want to hide back then?

The village chief has been resentful of the Chen family all these years because of the matter of his eldest son. So as long as there is news about the Chen family, she will inquire about one or two. This is also something he overheard.
