Wei Changqi was eating a piece of meat, but the meat seemed to have turned into a piece of white wax in his mouth, and it didn't taste good no matter how he chewed it, so he swallowed it after a while, and said, "You ask me what I think...... I can only say that I have forgotten what medicinal materials were bought in the house at that time, and the silver did cost a lot, I am afraid that it was just to prepare some in the warehouse, not only to buy Chuanxiong and safflower. Your sister-in-law is in charge of these things in the back house, if you have any doubts, why don't you call her over and ask? ”

"The eldest sister-in-law is carrying a child by her side, why let them get involved?" Wei Changjue looked into his eyes and was very serious, "Does the eldest emperor know what 'medicinal dew' is?" ”

Wei Changqi's face finally changed.

After discovering that Su Wangfu had purchased those medicinal materials, Wei Changjue had been thinking about how he could cross the heavy eyeliner and put these things into Wei Changjun's medicine, and later Lang Zhong, who helped Pei Gui to touch the pulse, said that the medicinal materials can be refined with some water steaming methods to extract water droplets with similar medicinal properties, which is called "medicinal dew", and there are detailed preparation methods in medical books. The potion is easy to carry, it is packed in a small porcelain bottle, and when you use it, you can take it out and pour a few drops, just like taking medicine.

It's just that this kind of medicinal dew, to make a small bottle, requires a lot of medicinal materials, and it is extremely cost-effective, so it is relatively rare.

After Wei Changjue heard this, he pondered it repeatedly, and felt that Wei Changqi used this method, and when he said it, he was just tempted with speculation, but he didn't expect to be successful in a try.

"What potion? The third emperor brother is using a medical book to test me? I'm a prince, and I only know the Four Books and the Five Classics, where have I read these. He smiled reluctantly.

However, having already talked about this, how could Wei Changjue let it go, and said in a deep voice: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, and what you have done, as long as you have the heart, you can find out." Regardless of whether it's a medicinal dew or a ground powder, now that I've found the pharmacy and the person who bought the medicine, what about my father? ”

Wei Changjue gave his brother a cloth and said lightly: "My father's hands and eyes are all over the sky, you can check who is visiting Changfu Palace, you can check who came in from outside, whether you have been searched, and even find out where the medicinal materials that entered the Su Wangfu have gone, and find the person who made the medicinal dew for the eldest emperor's brother, as long as the father wants to, there is nothing that can't be investigated, because the world is his, what do you say?" ”

Wei Changqi finally panicked very thoroughly, and he straightened Wei Changjue for a long time before saying, "What do you want?" You called me over to denounce me? ”

Wei Changjue shook his head, thinking that just by asking like this, he could ask the truth from Wei Changqi's mouth, obviously he was not a person who often did evil, but his actions affected him, and this matter had to be explained clearly after all, even ...... Let it be a handle, so that Wei Changqi can be used for himself.

"I don't mean to denounce you, but if I really want to denounce, why would I still have a banquet? I'm just trying to find out if I'm the murderer about Changjun's death. He smiled, a little wistful, "Now it seems that I am by no means." ”

Wei Changqi's hand was tightly gripping the chopsticks, and his body was also very tense, "Changjun fell off the horse, after all, it was you who harmed you, if you want to rely on me, then you can't." ”

Wei Changjue kept smiling, "I don't plan to rely on the eldest imperial brother, as I said just now, if I want to rely on it, I will directly go to Concubine Ying to explain it, with her heart for her son, she can't turn the Su Wangfu upside down to seek the truth." I'm trying to figure out now, what do you think, Brother Huanghuang, do you want to use Changjun's death to harm me and make Concubine Ying sad and unbearable? ”

"I, I." Wei Changqi hesitated, like a beast forced into a corner, not fierce, but he could see that he was struggling.

"Brother Emperor, in the past, I was angry with Changfu Palace, you came to comfort me and talk to me, I also treated you and me with one heart, and I have always respected it, but I didn't expect you to know that I was taking Wei Changjun's life, and I wanted to kill him, this means of killing two birds with one stone, you can do it, it must have been carefully considered. But if you hate Changfu Palace, why do you hate me? Is there anything wrong with my queen mother to your mother? Am I half disrespectful to you? ”

After a pause, he continued in a deep voice, "Compared to persecution, I can't accept betrayal and deception, if you can't explain it clearly, the truth about Changjun's death will be presented to your father's table immediately, and you won't even have time to go back and destroy the evidence." ”

Wei Changqi's face was flushed, and then he realized that this feast was actually a Hongmen banquet, and he entered the door of Prince Gong's mansion, his wife was transferred away from his side, and a pair of children were also under the control of others, and no news could be spread, except for recognition, what else could he do?

The two of them confronted each other silently, their eyes collided in one place, Wei Changjue had a righteous and awe-inspiring bearing, and he had the momentum of an innocent person, while Wei Changqi had nothing.

He was finally defeated.

The chopsticks in his hand were thrown out, and when he touched the porcelain plate, there was a crisp sound, Wei Changqi gasped, I don't know whether he was angry or ashamed, and said in general: "Okay, okay, I said, I added the things, I hated Ying Guifei's mother and son, and I wished they had one less brother to help each other, so I did this." Changjue, don't think I'm ruthless, I'll be ruthless like this, and I won't have such a good opportunity in the future. The three of their brothers all have the love of their father, this one has an accident, and that one can still help say good things to play a round, so year after year, it has become the climate, where is our place. I do this not only for myself, but also for your good. ”

Wei Changjue said coldly: "Good for me? You know that only Wei Changjun is alive, and there is room for turning between me and Changfu Palace, and now that a human life is in the middle, what kind of crazy revenge I have received, you haven't seen it. And the snipe and the clam compete, there is always a fisherman to benefit, the eldest brother, I'm afraid I want to be the fisherman. ”

Wei Changqi was asked, and only after a while did he hesitate to say, "I'm not ......"

"You generously admit it, in my heart, you are still a man, and you are still my eldest brother." Wei Changjue stopped him and said decisively, "If not, I will leave immediately." ”

Wei Changqi slapped his forehead fiercely, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I admit it!" But I must first make it clear that I have not been angry with the three brothers for a long time, and I want them to break one of them, which is the main thing. The second is to let you and Changfu Palace tie a dead knot, they are bent on you, naturally there is no kung fu to deal with me, since ancient times, there is a basis for the long, you fight and lose, the person who benefits, is naturally me! ”

It's really all said now, and it's strange, Wei Changqi was a lot more relaxed in an instant, for so long, he carried Wei Changjun's death for so long, and this moment came to an end, not despair, but relief.

He was guilty and calm, such a complex state of mind had never been experienced before, Wei Changqi thought, it was best not to experience it again from now on.

Wei Changjue was silent for a while, and when his brother's emotions finally calmed down, he said: "But Brother Emperor, you haven't thought that I may be vulnerable, and when I fall, the ancient precept of 'establishing a successor and establishing a long' will lead to all the torture and targeting will be inflicted on you." ”

Wei Changqi really didn't think about it, and was in a daze, Wei Changjue chased after him and asked: "Do you know how it feels to kneel outside the Qianming Palace, those ministers come and go, and everyone's eyes drift to you, but they don't dare to look more, only with some schadenfreude or pity, walk past you, what is it like?" kneeling until his knees were bruised, and then he had to drag his legs to reflect, gritting his teeth and talking about his mistakes over and over again, and there was no face at all. ”

"I ......"

Wei Changjue continued: "Of course, you won't know what it feels like to say a word casually or do something casually will be stared at and magnified by someone with a heart, and then reported to your father and emperor, and then you will be reprimanded the next day." I live every day, and I don't sleep well, because I can never predict what will await me the next day. ”

On Wei Changqi's back, a cold sweat suddenly broke out, he was originally honest and loyal, and he had never had any harmful thoughts, this time he was also unceremoniously spoken by Wei Changyuan and Wei Changze brothers a few times, thinking about gambling. The consequences were naturally calculated, but he never thought about it so deeply, and he didn't consider whether he could bear the pressure from all sides if he was really pushed into that position.

And Wei Changjue was still slowly talking about the past.

"Brother Emperor, I still remember when you were ten years old and I was six years old, under the dwarf pine in the imperial garden, there was a nestling that was squeezed out by the brothers and sisters of the same nest, and Nagasawa was also there at that time, saying that he would make a fire to roast it and eat it, you said that it also had parents and brothers, and then we left the palace and did not return for a long time, how worried the family was, and how worried the parents and brothers of this nestling were now. Later, you asked the little eunuch to support you, climbed the tree, sent the chicks back, and almost fell down, and was scolded by someone as good-tempered as Concubine Niangniang for two days. ”

The regret and disappointment in Wei Changjue's eyes flowed out like this, "Brother Emperor, I don't ask how you became like this now, because people change, if I don't change, I'm afraid I won't have the life to stand here and talk to you today, but I always think, if all the ideas and things that I abide by in my heart are lost, am I still me, and are you still you?" ”

Wei Changqi's hand rested on the table, clenched tightly into a fist.

On this day, Lan Yi accompanied the two children to go crazy, came back with a sweat, and after sending Su Wang and his wife away, Wei Changjue joked with her and said disgustedly: "Go take a bath, don't touch me if you haven't picked it up." ”

Lan Yi deliberately leaned over, "I don't, it's not for your business, I invited them over, I need to play with those two children, I left the eldest sister-in-law outside for so long, just to let you two brothers have a good talk, you don't thank me, and you still talk about me, I have to, I have to make you uncomfortable to rely on me." ”
