Chapter 61: The Beginning and the End of Escape
When Wei Wei got dressed and walked out of the room, it was already more than half an hour later, and the sun was about to set.
Looking at the quiet courtyard at this time, he was a little puzzled and a little weak-hearted.
After looking around and seeing no one, he walked to the door of the West House and shouted, "Mother? Are you not at home? ”
Wei Mu deliberately pretended not to hear the first two sounds, and it wasn't until the third time he shouted that she pretended to be awake and replied, "Hello? What time is it, is it time to cook dinner? ”
Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her answer, hooked the corners of his lips and said in a relaxed tone: "It's still early, in half an hour, I want to boil some hot water first." ”
What is the hot water for, Wei's mother naturally won't ask much, and the mother and son tacitly know it.
"Okay, then you go burn, I'm just going to ask your fourth grandmother something." Wei Mu said vaguely perfunctorily.
Yuan Xuan in the room listened to the conversation outside with wide eyes, and then looked at the messy mattress under him, and covered the whole person in the quilt in shame.
Mother-in-law, she must have heard everything, she is a person from here, and she knows 100% what has just happened-
It's all Wei Wei, who just didn't listen to him when he said it, and deliberately made a strange noise, so that she couldn't help but make that strange sound!
After talking to himself for more than a quarter of an hour, Yuan Xuan's physical strength slowly recovered, and Wei Wei happened to come in with hot water.
After mixing the water temperature just right, Wei Wei went to lift the corner of the quilt, looked at Yuan Xuan, who was shrunk into a ball, and said, "The water is ready, get up quickly, it's time to bathe." ”
Yuan Xuan was really embarrassed to look at him, although the two were already a real husband and wife, she always shy away from his gaze.
Wei Wei's eyes became hot again, but he knew how to control it, and he quickly suppressed that feeling. Without bothering her, he picked her up and carefully put her into the tub.
Yuan Xuan felt a lot more relieved when she entered the water, and after a while, she leaned her head on the bathtub and let Wei Wei wash her hair, and she scrubbed her body for a while.
Wei Wei had never washed anyone's hair, and at first he was clumsy, and he hurt Yuan Xuan a few times, but after a while, he got the strength right, and massaged her lightly or heavily.
This gradually professional approach made Yuan Xuan drowsy, and in order not to let herself fall asleep, she tried to open her eyes and speak.
As if she suddenly remembered something, she asked Wei Wei with wide eyes: "Husband, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come back suddenly?" Didn't you say in the letter that you won't be able to find a chance to come back until the year after next? ”
This matter is very important, even if she doesn't ask at this time, Wei Wei will tell her later.
He gently combed her hair and gave her a brief explanation of the situation in the middle of the court and Daxing City: "King Jin has always refused to accept his brother as the crown prince, and everyone in Daxing City knows about this matter, even Emperor Wen knows it.
King Jin has secretly collected a lot of evidence of the prince's guilt in recent years, and the prince has not been idle, and he also has many of his handles in his hands. The open and secret struggle between the two brothers intensified, and they both held back their strength to give each other a fatal blow.
Now that Emperor Wen is getting older and older, the battle between the two of them has reached the most critical juncture, and at most there will be a result next year.
When the two tigers fight, there will be one injury, and neither they nor their factions can avoid the final result.
I didn't want to get involved, so I didn't want to get involved, and I couldn't get deeper and deeper there. So I began to pretend to be sick in early September, and delayed my resignation to Emperor Wen in early October. ”
Yuan Xuan in front of him didn't seem to understand, and then asked him: "Then you are the faction of King Jin, you know so many things about him, how could he let you come back?" ”
Wei Wei smiled confidently when he heard this, and slowly explained to her: "Of course he is reluctant, not only is he reluctant to let me go, but he is also reluctant to kill me. ”
After all, he had come up with so many ideas for the King of Jin, and the King of Jin had long regarded him as the advisor of the Jin Palace.
Seeing that Yuan Xuan's face was a little weird, and he was still rolling his eyes to look at him vigorously, he patted her forehead and scolded with a smile: "You little bad thing, be honest with me, it's not what you think you mean at all." ”
Yuan Xuan pursed her lips and snickered when she heard this, she also knew that most of them didn't mean that, it should be that King Jin valued his talent!
Sure enough, Wei Wei continued: "In mid-October, I revealed to the person sent by the King of Jin that I wanted to go home. He also said that when I got better, I would continue to work for him in Daxing City.
He must have weighed the pros and cons, and at the end of October he sent two imperial physicians, and when the imperial physicians left, he arranged for me to leave. Not only was the journey properly arranged, but two masters were also sent to follow me inch by inch. ”
"Spying on you?" Yuan Xuan was surprised.
Wei Wei nodded yes, then sneered and said, "He is reluctant to kill me, but that is under the premise that I am sincere to him." If I show some of my feet at that time, everything will be wasted, and the two of them will kill me immediately! ”
Yuan Xuan sighed in his heart, and asked after a while: "Since the situation is so serious, how did you get out?" ”
"I have been arranging this matter since September, and the Zheng family father and son have been making comprehensive preparations after receiving my letter, which is naturally foolproof.
and Dou Jiande, he also deliberately made himself look like a serious illness, and did not make the people of King Jin suspicious. Seeing Yuan Xuan's face of admiration, Wei Wei felt a little proud in his heart.
After telling her the whole plan, Wei Wei explained the matter of the two maidservants by the way: "Xiaomei and Xiaoyue have more or less discovered some differences between me, in fact, I plan to find an opportunity to get rid of them. ”
Seeing Yuan Xuan's surprised face, he sighed again and said, "But after thinking about it, I feel that I can't kill innocents, especially since they have never betrayed me.
So I asked Li Jing to arrange for them to leave before me, and arrived at Julu County first, preparing to let them continue to work in the county office.
Originally, my plan was to let Zheng Haihua be the crazy woman, but I didn't expect that the Zheng family's father and son were reluctant to let her take risks, so they secretly changed the candidate. Coincidentally, it happened to be replaced by Xiaoyue. ”
But Yuan Xuan still didn't understand a little, so he finally asked: "Husband, I'm curious about what happened to Dou Jiande?" How could he be so cooperative with you from start to finish? ”
Not only did he let Wei Wei borrow his identity to participate in the scientific expedition, but he never went to Daxing City to expose him, this person is so strange!
Wei Wei smiled faintly, picked up the dry handkerchief next to her and wiped her hair and said, "He had an argument with someone three years ago, killed someone by mistake, and happened to escape to our county. At that time, I had no one to use, and seeing that his courage was not bad, I left him to work as a servant in the county government......"
After her hair was wrigged and dressed, her mother-in-law and the Cui family had already returned, and the sky was gradually darkening.
