The queen was completely confused, Lan Yi took the initiative to pick up the arrow and handed it to the queen, the queen looked at it a few times, only to see the "three", and asked, "What's the matter, why is the emperor so angry?" ”

Lan Yi had already understood, his heart was broken, and his brain immediately turned around, thinking of a way to distinguish.

The emperor said, "I was attacked just now, and you guess who this arrow shot at me belongs to?" ”

The queen finally understood, she was about to kneel down in a panic, but she was supported by the emperor and ordered in a cold voice: "This is outside, I didn't publicize it, I just don't want others to know and say any jokes like 'father and son are not compatible', you don't have to kneel, discuss with me how to deal with it." ”

The queen endured the uneasiness in her heart and asked, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

The emperor said: "Always find a reason to call Chang Jue to come and ask, you can say that you are suddenly unwell, let Chang Jue come back to serve in front of you." ”

The queen had no choice but to spread it according to this statement, Wei Changjue hurried back from the pine forest, and the other princes gradually knew that the queen was not in good health.

Wei Changze had just shot down a deer, and he was very happy, and when he turned around and heard such news, he was even more happy, and asked: "I saw the queen mother before the hunt, and my spirit seems to be good, I guess that happened to happen?" ”

Next to him was Wei Changheng, the sixteen-year-old seventh prince, who heard his brother's question, Wei Changheng immediately took a step forward, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and he squinted, "As the fourth emperor brother thought, now my father is probably scolding him." ”

Wei Changze laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, Changheng, although you are young, you have great ability, let you toss him, you really did it." ”

Wei Changheng's depressed aura is not as vigorous as a teenager of this age should have, but when he speaks, he likes Wei Changze very much, "Before, the fourth emperor brother said that the third emperor brother took the third emperor sister-in-law to talk back to the concubine outside the Qianming Palace, I kept it in my heart, and I always wanted to help the fourth emperor brother and the concubine Niangniang out of this breath, but my ability is limited, and my biological mother is not more than Erer in front of my father, and I ask the fourth emperor brother not to dislike it." ”

Wei Changze said "Hi", "Between our brothers, how can there be any dislike that is not disliked, except for him Wei Changjue has always been annoying, others, my second brother and I have always taken care of it." I know that your mother's mother's family was not in a good situation before, there was a hole that was not filled, and some time ago your grandfather angered your father and went to prison, and he may be sentenced to exile, so you are in a hurry. ”

He said the other party's shortcomings so bluntly, and he couldn't be angry when he asked for it, so he had to put his identity lower, "The fourth emperor brother is right, although my mother is far less important than my father, but I have also been with my father for more than ten years, and my father doesn't care about her suffering at all, and he can't say anything as a son, so he has to ask a few royal brothers for help." ”

Wei Changze smiled, and he was not serious, "Come on, I'll talk to my mother when I go back, and let her help me intercede, even if I can't save your grandfather, I won't let your mother be implicated." ”

Wei Changheng bowed his hand again and again, "Grateful, grateful." In the future, if there is still a place where I can serve the Four Emperor Brothers, please just tell me that I have to think of ways to fill the holes left by my mother's family, and if there is any way to make money, please also teach the Four Emperor Brothers to teach me. ”

Wei Changze thought for a while and said: "I am a rich idler, I am used to being idle, or you follow the second brother to do things, you have brains, the second brother is willing to take you, as long as you can make a name for yourself in the court, with our identity, we don't have to worry about not having a lot of silver." ”

Wei Changheng finally showed a sincere smile and breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, thank you to the Fourth Emperor Brother." ”

The two decided to continue hunting and compete for the first place, and Wei Changjue had just arrived at the queen, and he didn't know what was going on, but he saw his father's calm face, and the queen mother was not really lying down, so he understood that something was wrong, and he definitely came for himself.

And when Wei Yongcang asked the eunuch next to him to put the arrow in front of him, all doubts could be cleared up.

"Father, this is the arrow of the son, how can it appear here?" Wei Changjue still has to pretend to be confused, otherwise he will rush to think that it has something to do with the assassination, which is no different from going crazy.

The emperor said coldly: "I still want to ask you, I asked you to go hunting, but your arrows came at me, why, do you feel that you have been wronged as a prince?" ”

Wei Changjue immediately knelt down and said word by word: "Father's words are too heavy, Erchen can't stand it, Erchen really doesn't know where the arrows shot at his father come from, I don't know if my father caught the murderer?" Are you injured? ”

"There are dense pine forests here, and the other party only shoots this arrow from afar, how can you catch it?" As he spoke, the emperor became even more angry, and pointed at him and said, "It's because you can't find out that you can be so eloquent, and you are not afraid of what crime I will punish you, isn't it?!" ”

Wei Changjue felt a little sad, such a situation, Wei Yongcang would not fail to see it, he was just too lazy to think, too lazy to do anything for this third son, so that all the anger accumulated by the challenge of the imperial power was poured out on Wei Changjue, if it was replaced by Wei Changze, Wei Yongcang would find out who was making trouble even if he turned the Qiansong paddock over.

With no one to help him, Wei Changjue could only defend himself.

As soon as he fell to the ground, before the sentence "Father Emperor Mingjian" came out, a petite figure suddenly jumped to the front of his left, Lan Yi knelt directly on the ground, and his crisp and neat voice made everyone's minds sober up a lot, "Father, please listen to your son, even if Chang Jue really has a bad intention, he will not hurt you with his feather arrows, isn't this clearly telling the world that he is a fool?" ”

The words were not rough, the queen reacted immediately, and hurriedly said: "Yes, no matter how stupid Changjue is, he will not be so stupid!" ”

Lan thought to the emperor and groaned, knowing that the other party didn't fully believe that Wei Changjue had made this matter, so he struck while the iron was hot, "What's more, if you really want to rebel, how can you arrange only one person to shoot a painless arrow, it can be seen that the purpose of that person is not your father at all, but wants you to see this arrow." This matter is very easy to understand, Erchen thought, in fact, my father also knew it in his heart, but he just wanted to test whether Chang Jue really respected you. Now you have also seen it, questioned by the people who regard him as a god, Chang Jue does not complain or get angry, but just asks if the assassin has been caught, whether you have been hurt, every word is concerned about you. ”

The queen couldn't help but reproach, "Lan Yi, how can you casually speculate about the holy will." ”

Lan Yi looked at the queen, her eyes were very firm, "When Erchen married Changjue, he made up his mind to serve his father and mother as his biological parents. ”

"You girl......" the queen hurriedly explained to the emperor, "Lan Yi is like this in front of the concubines, treat the concubines as if they were mothers, and the emperor should not worry about her." ”

Wei Yongcang smiled, he had sat on the dragon chair for many years, but he rarely saw such a bold junior in front of him, and thought about it: "It's okay, I'm also at the age where I want to enjoy the joy of family, Lan Yi should serve you as a mother, so it's okay to talk to me as a father." Then he looked at Lan Yi, "Since you said that this arrow has nothing to do with Changjue, why don't you talk to me, who do you think has something to do with it?" ”

The queen's heart tightened, for fear that Lan Yi would say that someone was trying to harm Wei Changjue, and the emperor didn't like to listen to this kind of thing the most, so he hurriedly stopped and said: "What can she understand, little girl, the emperor still asks the concubine to go to Haosheng to investigate." ”

The emperor said lightly: "The queen doesn't have to protect the calves like this, they are all older, and at their age, I can already sit in the Qianming Palace to approve the chapter." ”

Lan thought that the queen still wanted to fight for it, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, let the sons talk about it, anyway, the sons are just women, even if they say it wrong, it's just that the sons have long hair and short knowledge, as long as the father and the emperor don't blame, the sons don't feel ashamed." ”

Then she kowtowed, "Father, no matter what the other party thinks, since he sent someone to shoot this arrow, he can meet at least two conditions, first, he must be very familiar with the layout of the Qiansong enclosure, and know where there are people patrolling and where is suitable for ambush; Second, he doesn't want to hurt you. ”

The emperor nodded, but said, "I think that Changjue also meets the two points you said." ”

"Changjue meets the second point, but it does not meet the first point." Lan Yi opened a pair of sincere eyes, "This hunt, Chang Jue did not participate in the arrangement from beginning to end, and he was idle at home for nearly a month, even if he was in charge of the hunt last year, there will definitely be changes this time, how dare he do it in an unfamiliar situation?" What's more, you just agreed that Chang Jue will not hurt you, so what's the point of him pulling his bow at you, using his own feather arrows, and finally scolding? ”

The emperor squinted, squinted, and said, "Then you mean, this matter is related to the person who arranged the hunt, oh, it turns out that you said so much, you want to tell me that Chang Ze has a malicious heart to frame his brother?" ”

Lan Yi raised his head and said blankly: "It turns out that the person in charge of taking care of the paddock this time is the Fourth Emperor Brother?" Erchen's door is not out of the second door, I really don't know. If it is indeed the Fourth Emperor Brother who is in charge of these, then the minister thinks that it is not him, the Fourth Emperor Brother is a free and easy person, and you love him, why bother wading into this troubled water. Erchen thought that maybe it was some of the servants who helped him to instigate their brothers to break the wall, and his brain was hot to do such a unconscionable thing; Maybe that person is still a fine work sent by Beihu! ”

The emperor looked at Lan Yi carefully, there was no resentment on her face, as if all the words came from the heart, so that she did not slander anyone behind her back, and left her family clean, it was indeed more convincing than the queen who only said that this matter had nothing to do with her son.
