Lan Yi hurriedly asked his subordinates to clean up everywhere, and asked the kitchen to prepare warm tea and delicious food, no one knows if the emperor left the palace on a whim, whether he would stay for a meal on a whim, in short, everything must be thought out in advance, and it can't be smeared in front of the door.

About half an hour later, there was news that the emperor was the first to go to the Su Wangfu.

Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, she walked down in such a way as the order of the eldest and youngest, and she didn't know when she would be able to come to their house, she hugged Rong Huan, scattered all the way to the study, and asked Wei Changjue, "How is it?" All packed? ”

Wei Changjue held a stack of letters in his hand and said, "Actually, there is nothing that can't be shown to my father, but the study is heavy, and it is inevitable to be pretentious, as long as you are honest and honest on the surface." ”

Lan Yi glanced at him, "What I said looked like I was greedy, but in fact, it was just a little favor." ”

Wei Changjue has been struggling to maintain this balance, and he doesn't want to show any difficulties in front of his wife and children at this moment, so he put the letter in his hand in the drawer behind him, came over and skillfully took Rong Huan and hugged him in his arms, and teased: "Look, your mother dislikes me again, isn't it?" ”

Rong Huan smiled stupidly, the study was a new place for her, and a pair of eyes turned around and patrolled. Lan Yi was also teasing her by her side, and looked at Wei Changjue from time to time and smiled.

After not being able to experience such a warm time for too long, Xiao Yanzi came in and said, "Your Highness, Princess, I heard that the emperor came out of King Su's Mansion and came straight to us. ”

Lan Yi was confused, "So fast? Didn't you go to the Qi Palace? ”

Wei Changjue smiled: "I think it's a stopby." The Qi Palace's Mansion is larger than the ordinary mansion, and the house near our and the eldest emperor's brother's house is small, which is not enough to set off the identity of the second emperor's brother. ”

Naturally, this is just a self-deprecating joke between husband and wife, the emperor is coming, they have to take someone to the door to wait, and after a while, they saw the emperor over there wearing ordinary clothes, with Liu Gonggong, coming slowly.

Of course, the emperor traveled with more than one old servant, and when he looked closely, there was a small inner eunuch in civilian clothes carrying an empty sedan chair to follow, and then behind, there were some guards dressed as ordinary people.

Wei Changjue took Lan Yi and Prince Gong's Mansion and others to come forward to salute, "The sons and daughters and their families greet their fathers, and I wish my father long live Chang'an." ”

When the emperor put on that robe, his solemn aura seemed to be much less, and he said with a smile: "Get up, hurry in, I just come to hang out, don't be so formal, don't be so eye-catching." ”

As he spoke, he walked to King Gong's mansion, and Wei Changjue hurriedly got up with Lan Yi and followed.

The emperor was full of interest, and while walking, he looked at the design items in Prince Gong's mansion, saying that "this corridor is well repaired" and what "this place is too simple, and there is a lot less interest".

Wei Changjue responded, and the rest of the people were silent, and they didn't dare to come out.

The emperor suddenly asked, "What about Rong Huan?" Why didn't Rong Huan make a sound? ”

Holding her water chestnut, she hurriedly stepped forward and blessed her body, "If you go back to the emperor, the little princess will sleep." ”

The emperor also lowered his voice, stretched his neck to look, the child in the swaddling clothes had a ruddy face, very healthy, and said: "She is sleeping soundly, so many people, both courtesy and chat, did not wake her up." ”

Saying that, he gently touched her tender tofu-like cheeks, Xiao Ronghuan smashed her mouth, and fell asleep very facelessly, and did not wake up crying.

The emperor waved his hand, "Since you are asleep, don't come out to fight the wind, take it back and let her sleep well." ”

The water chestnut hurriedly saluted and retreated silently.

Here, Lan Yi and Wei Changjue naturally had to accompany them, and walked all the way to the backyard. In winter here, it is a solemn appearance, a jackdaw occasionally fluttered on the dead branches, screamed, and flapped its wings and flew away, and the withered vines and old trees next to it stood silently, which seemed extremely lonely.

The emperor shook his head and said, "I should plant some evergreen pines and cypresses, looking at it at this time, it is too desolate." ”

Wei Changjue lowered his head and said "yes", and explained: "The main reason is that when the mother concubine was alive, she liked the sycamore very much, and the son wanted to get a few plants to plant, the sycamore is stout, really, although the leaves fall clean in winter, but in the next year, it is full of new leaves." ”

The emperor was stunned, about the queen's preferences, he really forgot about it, although when his son mentioned it, he didn't mean to ask at all, but for no reason, he felt a little guilty.

"Yes, your mother likes sycamores, a palace as big as Weiyang Palace, and it is most suitable to plant this kind of tree." He muttered, "I don't need so many people to follow me, let's all go down." ”

Lan Yi also thought that the father and son had something to say, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the son is ......."

"Lan Yi stays." The Emperor added.

Ning Fu and her own young lady glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and left with those subordinates.

Gonggong Liu wants to ensure the safety of the emperor and does not dare to stay too far, but he has been in front of the emperor for many years, and no one is more active than him.

He bowed and said respectfully: "The slave will go over there and wait for the emperor's orders." ”

The emperor nodded, watched Gonggong Liu walk away, pondered for a while, and asked bluntly, "Is there anything else you want to say to me about Yu Tao and Wan's affairs?" ”

As long as you want to arrange it, the emperor's eyeliner must be far more than that of Concubine Ying, and the little things that happened in Prince Gong's mansion, including Yu Tao being kidnapped in the kitchen, including Mama Wan being pulled to be grounded together, have been inquired clearly.

In the emperor's opinion, Lan Yi arranged for this matter to happen at the family banquet, which is certain, otherwise why didn't she bring it to the palace with others, but had to bring two people who were already distrustful into the palace?

But after seeing the evidence, the emperor was not angry, at that moment he really wanted to ask Wei Changjue and Lan Yi the truth about the matter, it seemed that if they also concealed themselves, saying that the matter of Yu Tao and Wan Mama was an accident, and the sins of Ying Guifei would be alleviated a little.

But if they tell the truth, the better they do in front of their father, the more they will seem to favor Concubine Ying, which is not a wise choice.

Lan Yi also understood at this moment that the emperor left the palace in order to specifically ask this sentence, hesitated for a moment, and was just about to answer, Wei Changjue stepped forward, hid her behind him, and said steadily: "Father Emperor Rongyu, Yu Tao and Wan Mama have evil intentions towards Lan Yi, and the son has already known about it. It's a pity that Yu Tao has been imprisoned for too long, and her mind may be a little confused, so she shouted out directly. ”

He looked sincerely guilty, "It's the fault of the retainers who lost the face of the concubine." ”

The emperor was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Don't admit your mistakes at every turn, and explain things clearly, it's better than anything else." I ask you, did you know about Yu Tao and Wan's disagreement so early, did you use lynching after being imprisoned? ”

The corpses of Yu Tao and Wan Mama, the emperor let people see it, Wan Mama is fine, Yu Tao has traces of being whipped on her back. At present, all his questions are just a temptation, just to test whether this son is sincere or not.

Using lynching to torture the people sent by the palace to death is never a good thing, although as a prince, you definitely don't have to fight your life, but it's really a big trouble, a reprimand, a period of suspension is inevitable, Wei Changjue's heart is also a little drumming.

But in the end, he still chose to believe that the emperor had the ability to find out these things and told the truth.

"Erchen didn't hide from his father, lynching, it was indeed moved, Erchen's wife and daughter were framed by them three times and twice, if Erchen didn't take this breath, he couldn't even heal the grievances suffered by his family, and Erchen was not worthy of being a man." As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, "But scolding the slave sent by the Imperial Concubine Niangniang to the Internal Affairs Office is the son's disrespect to the Inner Palace, and he also asks his father to surrender." ”

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, and it was only when Wei Changjue felt the coolness on the ground gradually spread from his knees to his body, that the other party finally waved his hand, "Get up." As I said, I just come to your house and walk around at will, and I don't have to be formal. ”

Lan Yi hurriedly stepped forward, took a hand, and helped Wei Changjue up.

Suddenly, the emperor asked again: "Lan Yi, what else do you have to say about this matter?" ”

Wei Changjue said: "Erchen thinks it's ......"

"I'm asking Lan Yi." The words were light, but the people didn't dare to say more, the emperor put his hands behind his back, and his wide sleeves swayed slightly, "Let her say." ”

Lan Yi pursed her lips, and a cold wind blew through, blowing her thoughts more clearly. Although he didn't know the emperor's joy and anger, in this matter, Wei Changjue basically told the truth, as his wife, he couldn't tear down the stage.

"Father, what you know is the process of this matter, in fact, the son has nothing else to say, it's just," Lan Yi lowered his head a little lower, "Chang Jue is for the sake of the son, so he played such a shallow trick in front of you, and it is embarrassing to say, and it seems that the tiger father gave birth to a dog, and you have lost face, why is it that Prince Gong's Mansion has not done this matter." If you really want to punish you, you can punish your sons. But if it happens again, Erchen still hopes that those who harm Ronghuan will have such an end. ”

"What about Concubine Ying? What do you think of Ying Guifei? The Emperor's eyes were sharp.

Lan Yi is neither humble nor arrogant, "Guifei Niangniang, Erchen boldly speculated, and it is indeed related to the Tao Wan clan, but Erchen will not hold on to this." First, the concubine is the elder of her sons, so she will not be resentful and resentful for the sake of respect; The second is the father's harem, which does not allow the sons to put their beaks, rather than being frightened and planning in every possible way, it is better to do what they should do, so that the concubine Niangniang knows that the sons and daughters are not malicious, and such a thing will never happen in the future. ”

"Presumptuous." The emperor's two insipid words made Lan Yi kneel down immediately, he looked at Wei Changjue, and said, "You, the daughter-in-law, are getting bolder and bolder, and it seems that you don't dare to question the concubine, but every word is directed at the concubine." ”

Wei Changjue also knelt down and knocked his head on the cold stone slab in winter, "Father, all mothers in the world will give up everything for their children, and the sons can not want anything, only to ensure that their mothers and daughters are well-thought-out, please ask the father to fulfill the wishes of the sons!" ”

The emperor asked coldly: "I have stripped you of your title and stripped you of your title, are you willing?" ”

Wei Changjue smiled with relief, "If this can offset the wrong thing Lan Yi and Erchen did, Erchen is willing." It's just that...... I wonder if the sons can still serve their father? The queen mother is deceased, and you are the only son. ”

The emperor was a little moved by what he said. In fact, he was tired of living, sitting in a high position, looking at the various beings below, he didn't know which was false and which was true, but Wei Changjue at this moment was still very sincere.

"Get up." After a long silence, he finally raised his hand, accompanied by the cold wind, "Although those who achieve great things need to be ruthless, but the real ruthlessness may not be a good thing, you can not only kill decisively for your family, but also bear it with one effort, but it is something that can be made." ”

This is already a very high evaluation, Wei Changjue hurriedly thanked him.

The emperor said kindly: "Come into the house and sit down, this winter day, the wind outside is strangely cold." ”

Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, this level has passed.

Although the emperor came to question because Concubine Ying was unhappy, it was obvious that he was happy to tell the truth, and Lan Yi once again affirmed that an emperor who is more wise will never be deceived indiscriminately, as long as he wants to know the truth, he will definitely be able to know.

For such an emperor, to tell the truth, it is better than anything.

The emperor didn't stay in the house for long, drank a sip of tea, and teased Xiao Ronghuan, who woke up in a daze, and drove away, and said before leaving: "No need to send it to the door in a hurry, I still have to go to Changyuan Changze to take a look, if it is known to everyone, maybe the road will be blocked, and then I have to let the guards clear the street, which is very boring." ”

Wei Changjue hurriedly said: "Yes, the father and emperor should be careful all the way, and if there is a need for his sons, he will ask someone to bring a message." Then he took a step back and saluted with Lan Yi, "Erchen sends his father to the emperor." ”

The Emperor nodded, and walked away.

Wei Changjue breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and saw that Lan Yi was already sitting on the chair behind him, looking weak and powerless, and hurriedly went over and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm tired. I'm really tired. Lan Yi motioned for Ning Fu to close the door, and was supported by her husband to sit on the beauty couch crookedly, and said, "Talking to my father, every word must be considered inappropriate, and after saying it, I am afraid that I will say it wrong, for fear that I will not talk about my father's heart, but fortunately, it makes sense today, and the matter of Yu Tao and Wan Mama will never be mentioned again." ”

Wei Changjue pinched her cheeks, because of giving birth to a child, there was more meat here for a while, and her waist had grown a lot, but then Lan Yi was wrapped around her waist and walked around a lot, and finally consumed the meat little by little, and said at this moment: "Yes, let's put our hearts down, you are too thin, how good it would be if you were still the same as before." ”
