Zhong Ye watched the pen in Wei Yining's hand fall to the ground on the paper and sketch together, and quickly drew a woman's face.

Goose egg face, handsome eyebrows, beautiful and dignified. Although it is a white drawing, it is very expressive.

"The portrait of Empress Mingxian that I saw in Fengxian Hall is roughly like this," Wei Yining said, "Grandpa, do you think it is a little similar?" ”

"There are five points of similarity," Zhong Ye looked at it for a long time and said, "It's just that I saw that the woman in the portrait in that room is very young, only about ten or twenty years old, not as old as the one you painted." ”

Although it is only a portrait, it can also be seen that Wei Yining painted the appearance of a middle-aged woman, and what Zhong Ye saw in King Jing's Mansion was the appearance of a girl.

"The portrait of the Empress Dowager Mingxian I saw was a portrait of her 40th birthday," Wei Yining said: "Even if it is the same person, there are 20 years between them, no matter how well they are maintained, their faces will change." ”

Twenty years is not a short time for a person's life, enough for a person to grow from a young child to a young adult, and from youth to old age.

When a woman reaches the age of forty, there are still many people who still have charm, but after all, it is impossible to be as bright and bright as when she was a girl.

"Could it really be the same person?" Zhong Ye said: "It's rare to be similar to five points. ”

"There is no direct evidence, but it is not necessarily impossible." Wei Yining remembered something: "When I was in the palace, I saw Liu Cairen, and she had been crazy for more than ten years. I once heard her say that there were men in the Empress Dowager's palace when she was sick, and she also repeatedly said that Cuiming Palace must not go, and that Cuiming Palace is the sleeping palace of Empress Dowager Mingxian. ”

"Is her word credible?" Zhong Ye asked.

"Of course, the words of a madman cannot be used as evidence, but they are not necessarily false." Wei Yining said: "I think that sometimes crazy people tell the truth, and sober people often hide the truth and cover it up with lies. ”

"If what Liu Cairen said is true, the Empress Dowager Mingxian and King Jing have a personal relationship, and the Empress Dowager Mingxian has already died, even if it is no longer meaningful, I am afraid that it is no longer meaningful. The royal family naturally refuses to publicize this kind of ugly thing, and it is difficult for us to make a fuss about this," Zhong Ye said: "What we mainly want to find out now is what is the relationship between King Jing and the Tsing Yi Sect, as long as there is conclusive evidence, King Jing and his henchmen can be eradicated together." That Concubine Zeng Li is bound to be implicated, and it is impossible to be as powerful as she is now. Without her to wear, the front and back harem are bound to be much more stable. ”

Zhong Ye's biggest suspicion now is that King Jing and the Tsing Yi Sect have an ulterior insider, and if that is the case, it will inevitably threaten Sheji Li Min.

If there is any great upheaval, the life of the people will be even more difficult, and this is the last thing they want to see.

"The matter of the Empress Dowager Mingxian reminds me more of my father's unjust case back then," Wei Yining was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, I have always had a question in my heart, that is, why my father was wronged back then, why he has always refused to defend himself. I only knew that Ding Kun and Wei Zongyong had teamed up to frame him, so I wasn't sure if there was deeper water behind this. ”

"If your father had cried out for injustice back then, no one would have listened." Zhong Ye said: "After all, he was a grandfather at that time, and no one can frame him if he wants to." ”

"Who's to say it's not, so I've always wondered. But if we think about it according to our assumptions, the Empress Dowager Mingxian and Prince Jing had a personal affair, and for some reason, Liu Cairen, who was an outsider, found out about it, she was pregnant at the time, and she had a miscarriage after being frightened. I have confirmed before that the time when Liu Cairen had a miscarriage was very similar to the day when the Empress Dowager Mingxian died, so it cannot be ruled out that the Empress Dowager broke her adultery because she was knocked over.

Liu Cairen was originally timid, of course he was very scared when something like this happened, and he had a miscarriage, so he went crazy. ”

"This matter is indeed sensational, a small talented person has broken through such a secret, and it must be false to say that he is not afraid." Zhong Ye nodded and said, "What's more, people died because of this." ”

"If the previous inference is true, Rounu, who is the queen mother's maid, probably also knows about it, so she is also afraid. Because she was originally my maidservant, she wanted to ask my father for an idea after the death of the Queen Mother, which is also understandable. But he was obviously killed and killed, and he blamed my father by the way.

It was a matter of royal decency, and in order to take care of the overall situation, my father chose to forbear and bear the responsibility alone, which is why he never said that he was wronged. ”

"If your speculation is true, wouldn't it be ......" Zhong Ye looked at Wei Yining, and both of them thought of something more terrifying.

Although it is only an inference, when the inference is logical and flawless, it will inevitably feel that it is the truth.

Especially after some problems that have been unsolvable have been deduced, the truth is like a beach after the tide has receded, slowly showing its original appearance.

And the reef that was previously hidden under the surface of the water also showed its head like a ghost, faintly faint.

"I'll verify this again, after all, speculation is just speculation." Wei Yining said, looked at the sky, and said, "It's not too early, grandpa must have a lot of things to do, let's ...... Let's go back to the city! ”

Now Zhong Ye has official duties, and he is no longer the idle crane-like Zhong Manlang before.

Zhong Ye nodded reluctantly.

"By the way, grandpa, this is a set of clothes, shoes and socks I made for you, keep them for a change of clothes!" Wei Yining took a burden from the horse and handed it to Zhong Ye, Zhong Ye only felt heavy in his hand, and his heart hurt.

The two walked side by side, slowly walking towards the city, silent to each other.

The city gate could already be seen from a distance, and Zhong also looked at Wei Yining affectionately under the cover of night.

At this time, the sky was very dark, Wei Yining's crow-green bun almost blended with the night, and her snow-white face became hazy and delicate, like a porcelain doll.

The reluctance in Zhong Ye's heart was so thick that he couldn't dissolve, his throat was sour, and he was a little choked: "Yining, I'm leaving, you must take care of yourself." Don't take any chances, think about protecting yourself first. ”

"Grandpa is the same," Wei Yining felt uncomfortable: "There will be difficulties and dangers in this trip, I hope that Grandpa will overcome them one by one and return to the dynasty as soon as possible." ”

Zhong Ye had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word, and finally just stretched out his hand and gently touched Wei Yining's head: "You go to the city first!" I'm watching here. ”

"Okay." Wei Yining nodded obediently, gently turned the horse's head, and walked towards the city.

Zhong Ye stood in place, watching her back fade away.

"Yining, wait for me to come back!" Zhong Ye muttered softly.
