Chapter 288: No Choice
Yang Xiaoli stood in place in a hurry, and in desperation, he had to listen to Wei Ziyuan's words and returned to the house to wait for news.
Wei Ziyuan hurriedly rushed to Tianxianglou, grabbed the shopkeeper and asked, but the shopkeeper said that he didn't see such a person coming here at all, Wei Ziyuan's heart sank, and then he looked around, but still found nothing.
It can't go on like this! Wei Ziyuan said in her heart, if there is more time, I am afraid that my mother will be in more danger, she can't let her mother have anything to do!
No, she had to rush back to the mansion and tell Wei Junde about it.
"What did you say?!" In the hall, the masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion are basically there, except for the missing eldest lady and the old lady who went to the temple to offer incense.
Hearing Wei Ziyuan's news about the eldest lady, Wei Junde shouted angrily, Wei Tianxiang comforted Yang Xiaoli, who was crying, and interrogated Wei Ziyuan with concern: "What's going on?" ”
Wei Ziyuan didn't know what was going on, so she had to look at Yang Xiaoli, and Yang Xiaoli told everyone what he said to Wei Ziyuan again.
When Wei Junde heard this, he was furious: "What a reason! Who the hell is it? Dare to pay attention to my Prime Minister's Mansion! Is it really easy to mess with my Prime Minister's Mansion?! ”
Listening to Wei Junde's words, he didn't look worried about the eldest lady at all, he only cared about the reputation of his Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Ziyuan couldn't help sneering: "What's the use of talking about this now?" It's better to find your mother as soon as possible! ”
Wei Junde glared at her, and Wei Tianxiang agreed: "Yes, find your mother first, otherwise, what if someone misbehaves to your mother?" ”
Yang Xiao cried on the side: "It's all my fault, if I didn't let my mother go at that time!" It's all my fault! Woooooo ”
Wei Tianxiang comforted her.
Wei Ziyuan was quite calm, but she was in a hurry.
In the end, I had to decide to report to Jing Zhaoyin, and then Jing Zhaoyin sent people out to look for it, and all the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion went out to look for the eldest lady.
The night was like ink, dark clouds, layered, the moonlight was faint, and a few sparse stars were scattered around.
The Prince's Mansion.
In the study, there is a group of people sitting around, if anyone sees it, they will be surprised, thinking that most of these people are famous figures in the court, but in a corner, there is a person sitting, this person is not very important among these people, but these people are all polite to him at the moment.
Chang Yangxi, who was sitting at the top, moved for a moment, was silent for a few moments, and then finally spoke: "What do you think?" ”
No one below spoke, and after a while, a middle-aged man spoke: "Back to the prince, Weichen thinks that the emperor is seriously ill at this time, and the queen's decision has not yet begun. "Everyone saw that this person was a soldier of the military department.
"No!" At this time, an old man sitting behind the prince shook his head and frowned, "Now like this, you can't sit still. "This person is the crown prince and the prince, the famous Zhao scholar.
Hearing him say this, the others nodded yes one after another.
The prince was impatient and asked, "This is not it, it is not that, so what should it be?" "If it were normal, Changyang Xi would definitely not be like this, but now his situation is really bad, he is physically and mentally ready.
"I don't know ......" At this time, Scholar Zhao suddenly raised his head, looked at the person sitting below, and asked, "Fourth Highness, what do you think?" "Yes, this person is Changyang Zhen, he is actually a single person on the surface, and his strength is weak, but secretly, he has already defected to Changyang Xi's door.
But the real purpose of his refuge under Changyang Ximen, apart from himself, who knows?
Hearing Mrs. Li ask himself like this, his lowered eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence, and then said: "I also think that we can't sit still, if we wait for the queen mother's verdict, I am afraid that even the prince will suffer, so ......" His gaze swept over everyone present one by one: "So, we have to act in advance." ”
"You mean......" The crowd was shocked.
"No way!" Immediately, someone jumped out and shouted: "Forcing the palace, this is the crime of killing the king!" Who of us can bear this charge? ”
"Yes! No, no, no! The others retorted again.
"Huh!" Changyang really smiled, and then said: "What kind of killing the king is not killing the king?" These are just the names of failure! Now that my father's body is no longer good, I'm afraid it won't last long, and all parties are eyeing each other, the prince was originally the next monarch, and now it's like this, but he has succeeded to the throne in advance, and everyone can't help but think too extremely? ”
"But ......" There were still people who wanted to raise objections, but Changyang Zhen ignored it directly, but looked at Changyang Xi and Zhao Taifu, and asked: "Prince, Taifu, what do you think, what do you think of this proposal?" ”
Zhao Taifu did not speak immediately, but hesitated slightly, the crime of forcing the palace is indeed something they can't afford, but just like the medicine that Changyang Zhen said, it is just the title of a loser, what if they succeed? He has tried his best to support the prince for so many years, naturally it is impossible to watch the prince fall like this, and his daughter ......
Chang Yangxi frowned slightly, then raised his head with a firm expression: "Okay!" I've decided! Just do it! Anyway, the road before and after is a cliff, it's better to fight, maybe, this way you can still survive! Save the queen mother! ”
"Prince! No! As soon as he heard that Chang Yangxi had decided, someone immediately dissuaded: "Since ancient times, who has had a good end for those who forced the palace?" All of them were scolded by thousands of people......"
"Shut up!" Before he finished speaking, Chang Yangxi had already interrupted him sharply: "That's them, now it's me Chang Yangxi!" It can't be! I will only be the winner! Needless to say, I've made up my mind! ”
"Taifu! Tell me about it, persuade the prince?! Seeing that Chang Yangxi was stubborn, the others couldn't help but put their hopes on Mrs. Zhao on the side, hoping that he could persuade Chang Yangxi.
But Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, then raised his head, looked at the others, and said in a calm voice: "Everyone, old man, I also agree with the prince's decision!" ”
"Taifu!" Others exclaimed, the prince may have been confused for a while, how could the prince be like this?
But Mrs. Zhao, who listened, said: "Everyone, when we chose the prince, we had already decided our future retreat, and we can only advance and retreat with the prince, this is our last hope and way of life!" When he said this, he meant both to persuade and to threaten them.
You are all the prince's people, even if you quit now, when the prince falls, you won't get anything good! Sure enough, after hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, everyone was silent, and after a long time, everyone's caliber was unified.
Seeing this, no one saw that the corners of Changyang's real mouth contained a sneer and a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded.
The body of the eldest lady was found three days later, in the suburbs, and when she was found, the eldest lady was already dead.
Jing Zhaoyin ordered someone to carry the eldest lady back to the prime minister's mansion and cover it with a white cloth, but when she was carried into the mansion, there was a faint stench.
Everyone gathered in the front hall, and Wei Ziyuan stood in place, watching the guards put the body of the eldest lady on the cold ground.
Jing Zhaoyin's face was ashamed, and he said: "I'm sorry, Prime Minister, we have tried our best, but I didn't expect it, madam, it's still ......"
Wei Junde's eyes were red, the eldest lady died, even if he had no relationship with the eldest lady again, but the love for so many years was not in vain.
"Madame...... It should be **** to death. Moreover, the means are extremely ......" Speaking of this, Jing Zhaoyin paused slightly, and then continued: "According to the judgment of the autopsy, Mrs. should have been **** by others, and then she was whipped and dying, and finally she was disfigured by a knife, and she was also picked off Mrs......
When Jing Zhaoyin himself said this, he felt cruel, he really didn't know what kind of person was so ruthless and used such means to deal with a weak woman.
Wei Junde was stimulated and fainted on the spot, Wei Tianxiang, a big man, couldn't help but cry and cry bitterly on the side. Yang Xiaoli cried even more, constantly complaining about himself.
Wei Ziyuan handed Wei Ziru to the nurse and told her to take Wei Ziru back, and then walked to the eldest lady's side in a daze, lifted the white cloth, and suddenly a company that was no longer visible, mottled with blood and emitted bursts of stench appeared in front of everyone's eyes, some of them were so frightened that they screamed, and some kept vomiting.
Wei Ziyuan didn't seem to see anything, didn't smell anything, in her eyes, her mother lay there quietly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and fell asleep.
Looking at it, something cold rolled down, but she was silent, not because she wasn't sad, but because she couldn't say anything when she was sad.
What is this? What is it? What was she born again, for? Isn't it just to protect your loved ones? But why? Why? Mother or dead? It's such a miserable death! It's all because of him! Because of her! What if she had been in the house at the time?
If that were the case, wouldn't my mother be dead?
Mother!
Wei Ziyuan roared in her heart, but the cold on her face was even worse, and her whole body exuded a fierce aura, making people dare not approach.
Mother! You won't die in vain! Yuan'er must find the murderer! Give them back a thousand times the pain they inflicted on you!
It hurt so much that Wei Ziyuan only felt a pain in her brain, and then her eyes went dark, and the whole person drove away from consciousness.
She had a dream, in which her mother beckoned to her, and she smiled and chased after her, but her mother went farther and farther until she finally disappeared, and then she kept calling her mother loudly, but she did not see her shadow, and she screamed in fright.
