Wei Yongxin frowned, put down the wine glass a little more, and was about to ask the maid to see what was going on, when someone had already rushed into the study, shouting as he ran:

"Master, Dongchang has come to raid the house!"

"What?!" Wei Yongxin frowned, his hand holding the wine glass shook, and the poured wine overflowed from the mouth of the glass and spilled on the cuffs.

"Smack!"

Wei Yongxin put down the wine glass in his hand heavily, and the wine spilled even more, wetting a large piece of Fang Ji.

He has been in a high position for many years, and he doesn't know how many storms he has experienced for decades, and when he is angry, a terrifying momentum and awe-inspiring aura are naturally released.

The little guy who came to report was so frightened that he trembled slightly, and hurriedly explained: "Master, Lord Cen personally brought the factory guards of the East Factory, and now the people of the East Factory have surrounded the outside of the mansion and are rushing in to raid the house!" ”

Wei Yongxin couldn't believe his ears, and Huo Di stood up.

Cen Yin dared to dispatch the East Factory for a mere little girl, and he came in person.

Cen Yin, does he know what he's doing?!

Wait a minute! Wrong.

The matter of rice and grain in the north was concealed by himself, and it was impossible for Cen Yin to know that he was secretly planning all this, so he wanted to use this matter to eradicate dissidents.

This eunuch relied on Dongchang to cover the sky and hide from the emperor to copy himself, which is really audacious!

But, alas.

This time, Cen Yin will only be self-defeating, but he just gives the "opportunity" to his own hands.

The corners of Wei Yongxin's lips curled slightly, and there was a touch of coldness in his expression.

He was about to tell the little maid something, when he found that the noise outside the window was louder, through the window, he could see seven or eight people from Dongchang holding torches walking towards this side, and the maid's frightened voice came from outside the study: "This lord, our lord is inside, wait a while, let ......"

"Get out of the way of our house!"

"We dare to be stopped by someone in the East Factory!"

With a yin and yang weird male voice, Cao Qianhu broke in with two Dongchang fans and strutted forward.

This spacious study suddenly became crowded because of their intrusion.

Wei Yongxin had calmed down and looked calm.

He casually dusted off his sleeves that had just been wet, raised his eyes to look at Cao Qianhu a few steps away, and said lightly: "You let Cen Yin come to see this commander!" ”

Cao Qianhu casually sneered at Wei Yongxin, and called him by his name: "Wei Yongxin, you are not qualified to see the overseer!" ”

As he spoke, Cao Qianhu raised his hand and pointed at Wei Yongxin, and instructed his subordinates: "Wei Yongxin dares to interfere with the affairs of the East Factory and take down people for our family." ”

The two Dongchang fans behind him approached Wei Yongxin with a smile, and one of them arched his hand and said, "Commander Wei, offended." We are also on orders. ”

Since the emperor ascended the throne, Wei Yongxin has not suffered such humiliation in the past eighteen years.

A surge of anger surged in his heart, roaring and rolling, almost losing control, and his eyes changed unpredictably.

The evening breeze was gusting outside, and the trees in the courtyard were swaying wildly in the wind, as if a group of demons were dancing wildly, and there seemed to be some monster hiding in the shadows of the gloomy trees.

In the end, Wei Yongxin still suppressed the anger in his heart and said to himself, don't worry.

Cen Yin was only complacent now, and he didn't even realize that he had fallen into his trap.

The more rampant Cen Yin is at this time, the more miserable he will die.

Calm down.

Wei Yongxin's eyes became deeper, and Cao Qianhu's gaze collided fiercely in midair.

In the air, sparks are everywhere.

At the same time, the two Dongchang fans are also getting closer.

Suddenly, Wei Yongxin took half a step back and sat down, the corners of his mouth were pursed, and his eyes were gloomy like an abyss.

Let's make Cen Yin, a eunuch, proud for a while!

This capital and this court have not yet reached the point where Cen Yin alone has the final say!

"Okay, you can copy it!"

Wei Yongxin snorted coldly, and raised his hand to signal Cao Qianhu to be casual.

Cao Qianhu sneered, leaving the four Dongchang fans to look at Wei Yongxin inside and out, and he strode away, beckoning the other subordinates.

"Search! Search for us carefully! Dig three feet into the ground! ”

This night, the Wei Mansion was brightly lit, until the morning when the rooster crowed, the lights were still on, and the whole house was sleepless all night, and the house was searched by the East Factory for most of the ......

As soon as the morning dawned, the news that the Wei Mansion was being raided did not need to be specially publicized, and it quickly spread in Beijing.

The eyes of the whole capital looked at the Wei family and the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, and they were all nervous, for fear that this time the fire would inexplicably burn on their own bodies.

Almost as soon as the palace door opened, Geng Anhao entered the palace, and before the beginning of the early dynasty, he came to the outside of the Yangxin Palace and asked to see the emperor.

At first, he was stopped outside the temple by the inner servants of the Heart Cultivation Temple.

"Duke Weiguo, the emperor will go to the early dynasty later, and I don't have time to see Duke Weiguo." The attendant who was holding the dust in his hand said with a smile, "What's the matter, Wei Guogong should wait until the morning and the future." ”

Geng Anhui did not leave, and said politely to the chamberlain: "Father-in-law, I am tired of going to the ceremony again for my father-in-law, and I ask the emperor to see my father's sake......"

Who doesn't know that Geng Hai, the Duke of the First Guard, and the emperor are as close as brothers, and after the unexpected death of the Duke of the First Guard, the emperor was heartbroken.

The chamberlain didn't dare to slack off, so he had to respond, and went in again to pay homage.

The chamberlain hurried in and out, and this time, the emperor changed his words—

"Duke Weiguo, the emperor is invited."

The waiter smiled and stretched out his hand to Geng Anhao to make a petition.

Geng Anhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and arched his hand to the waiter with a smile, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

At this time, the sky was bright, and the golden morning light sprinkled softly, shining on Geng Anhao's handsome face, making him look radiant.

Geng Anhao followed the inner attendant into the Heart Cultivation Palace, and after passing through a curtain of Hunan concubines, he came to a side hall.

The emperor dressed in bright yellow was sitting behind a large table of rosewood and gold lacquer with breakfast.

The emperor's breakfast was naturally very rich, full of a large case, xiao long bao, golden silk jujube mud cake, yam cake, and a bowl of red rice porridge, accompanied by bird's nest stewed eggs and more than a dozen dishes of various assorted pickles, the aroma was overflowing, filling the air.

The emperor was slowly drinking the porridge, and he didn't need to tell anything, as long as he looked somewhere, he had his own chamberlain test the poison of the dish and send it to the dish in front of the emperor.

Seeing Geng Anhao coming, the emperor put down the spoon in his hand, took the handkerchief handed by the chamberlain and wiped his mouth.

Geng Anhao walked to the front of the case and stopped, clasped his fists at the emperor and saluted: "See the emperor." ”

The emperor rinsed his mouth with tea again, and then waved his hand, and several attendants serving in the palace, including Wen Yongju, withdrew from the side hall in turn, leaving only Liu Qin, the great eunuch of the Yangxin Palace.

In the side hall, it suddenly became a lot empty.

The emperor looked at Geng Anhao and said lightly: "No courtesy." An Hao, what is the urgency of your coming to see me? ”

The emperor looked at Geng Anhao calmly, looking as friendly as ever, but he was very bored in his heart.

The father and son of the Geng family, whether they are the old one or the young one now, are all greedy and not enough to swallow elephants, and they always want to hold themselves hostage with their "old feelings".

Geng Anhao said eagerly: "Your Majesty, last night Dongchang went to the Wei Commander's Mansion to investigate, dare to ask the emperor if he knows?" ”

Geng Anhao's heart was like a drum, and his eyes were gloomy.

How could the emperor inexplicably let people raid the Wei Mansion, this matter must have been done by Cen Yin without authorization.

This time, Cen Yin is planted!

"......" The emperor who was drinking tea moved his eyebrows when he heard the words, and the teacup paused in mid-air, thinking thoughtfully in his heart: I asked Ah Yin to investigate Wei Yongxin, could it be that he found some clues so quickly?

Geng Anhao quietly glanced at the emperor's face from the corner of his eyes, and saw that the emperor was moved, and he was even more sure of his guess.

Sure enough, the emperor did not know.

Yes, relying on the emperor's deep belief in Cen Yin, the East Factory has become more and more domineering over the years, and he can copy whichever he wants, so that the courtiers and people in Beijing are afraid of him like a tiger, and the East Factory supports the sky.

Cen Yin's heart is too big!

Geng Anhao calmed down, and hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty, Cen Yin is copying the Wei family behind your back, but there is really no one in his eyes, and he clearly intends to control the government. ”

"Commander Wei has always been loyal to the emperor, but he was so humiliated by Cen Yin, and asked the emperor to get rid of the traitor!"

Geng Anhao's words were loud, and his expression was even more indignant.

In the side hall, his voice alone echoed in the air.

The great eunuch Liu Qin looked at him with a complicated gaze, and said in his heart: This Wei Guogong is not going to die!

The emperor put down the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, and his eyes became deeper.

The sun was rising outside the hall, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the sound of cicadas came intermittently, like weeping, like cheering, and like hissing......

The emperor's thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and he looked at Geng Anhao quietly for a moment, and then slowly asked, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"Your Majesty, of course the minister knows."

Geng Anhao couldn't wait to raise his head in response, his eyes met the emperor's inquiring gaze, and his heartbeat pounded faster.

Both nervous and expectant.

Since the death of his father Geng Hai, he and the Weiguo Mansion have been suppressed, and it is difficult to move an inch.

Geng Anhao knew that if this continued for a long time, the former honor of the Patriotic Mansion would be lost, and he would be lost among the nobles.

If you want to recreate the former glory of the Patriotic Mansion, you can only fight against the water!

The only way to get rid of Cen Yin is to get rid of Cen Yin!

Thinking of Cen Yin, Geng Anhao's eyes flashed with a thick killing intent.

The cicadas outside the hall were sharper and louder, just like the sound of his heart.

Cen Yin, it's all because of Cen Yin.

If it weren't for Cen Yin's provocation, why would the emperor become more and more alienated and wary of his father, and why would his father be forced to plan a rebellion!

My father was not yet forty years old, and he was in the prime of life, and he should have lived a good life and teased his grandson......

In just one year, the Geng family is already as different as heaven and earth.

Geng Anhao knew that the current Geng family was powerless to rebel, so there was only one way left, and only by stumbling over Cen Yin could the Weiguo Mansion be revitalized.

So when Wei Yongxin came to the door, he agreed to cooperate with him.

In this capital, the only one who has the ability to fight with Cen Yin is Wei Yongxin, the commander of the Jingwei.

"......" The emperor slowly turned the jade wrench in his hand, still without saying a word, and his face was cloudy.

Geng Anhao bowed his head and said solemnly: "Please ask the emperor to severely punish Cen Yin." ”

However, the emperor still did not speak.

The oppressive atmosphere continued, and Liu Qin stood motionless, as if he didn't exist at all.

Geng Anhui was anxious, the emperor was obviously angry with Cen Yin, but why didn't he make up his mind to get rid of Cen Yin, a traitor!

Geng Anhao gritted his teeth, raised his eyes to the emperor's deep eyes again, and said:

"Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of the traitors, the court will be uneasy, and the people's hearts will be in turmoil."

"Your Majesty, if you hesitate any longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress the anger of the generals of the Jingwei battalion."

When it came to the last sentence, there was a hint of threat in Geng Anhao's tone.

The emperor's eyes opened slightly, his thin lips pursed tighter, and his face sank like water.

The air in the side hall is more solemn and dull, as if a storm is coming.

At this time, it should have been the time for the emperor to go to the early dynasty, but no chamberlain dared to remind the emperor.

Outside, the sound of cicadas chirping like hoarseness hit again......

Inside and outside the side hall, they were all shrouded in the monotonous chirping of cicadas.

Wen Yongju was standing in the main hall outside the curtain of Concubine Xiang's door, but it was just a curtain away, and he only had to listen to it closely, and he could faintly hear the sound inside.

The corners of Wen Yongju's lips curled slightly, and under the half-drooping eyes, his eyes were sharp.

This time, Cen Yin must be planted.

is also, he is arrogant and domineering, offending most of the people in the court, and he has long made people complain, and sooner or later he will kill himself.

Wen Yongju stroked his sleeve casually and retreated as if nothing had happened.

He was going to go to the west room to have a sip of tea, but out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see a familiar figure dressed in the prince's python robe, his face was happy, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Wen Yongju smiled and saluted the visitors.

Mu Youchang smiled slightly, elegant and noble.

He glanced in the direction of the east side hall, and then said, "This palace has come to ask to see my father...... emperor."

Under the guise of asking to see the emperor, Mu Youchang actually came to find out the news.

The smile on Wen Yongju's face was even stronger, and he exchanged a tacit look with Mu Youchang, and replied politely: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, the emperor is seeing Duke Wei Guo inside, please go back first." ”

Wen Yongju said the scene in his mouth, but he quietly made a gesture to Mu Youchang in his hand, which means that everything is going well.

The corners of Mu Youchang's lips always had a light smile, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

His eyes flickered, his thoughts flickered, and he thought about this plan again inside and out, and it has developed to this point, although there are some discrepancies, such as Cen Yin actually went to copy the Wei family, but on the whole, there was no big mistake.

Mu Youchang's seemingly warm eyes flashed with a terrifying edge.

Cen Yin is so ignorant and refuses to accept his own solicitation, then, he can't let him stand in his way, so he can only let him die!

It's just a pity that the East Factory.

Dongchang could have become a sharp weapon in his hands to tame those courtiers who didn't know each other, but this time, in order to deal with Cen Yin, he was bound to pull Dongchang off the horse, and with his father's personality, he might dissolve Dongchang or leave Dongchang idle for the time being......

Hey, if you have it, you will give it.

Mu Youchang said to himself in his heart, and his eyes calmed down.

He glanced in the direction of the Xiangfei curtain again, and it seemed that he could go back to the house and wait for the good news.

"Father-in-law Wen, since this is the case, then the palace will not disturb the father, and the palace will come to see him later." Mu Youchang dropped a polite word, turned around and left.

Only a tall back was left, and he was full of spirit.

The sun is high in the blue sky, and it is a cloudless weather.

The sun was scorching, but Mu Youchang didn't feel hot at all, and he had already drawn a picture of a good situation in his mind.

He didn't go to see Wen Shufei, so he went out of the palace directly, and then deliberately took a carriage to go around Wuwei Street, and saw that the gate of the Wei Mansion was closed, and the people of Dongchang surrounded the entire Wei Mansion, and no one was allowed to enter.

Mu Youchang was completely relieved, and instructed the waiter who was driving the car outside: "Go home!" ”

The waiter who was driving the car complied, and then waved his horsewhip high.

"Smack!"

The crisp sound of the whip sounded, and the two tall horses pulling the carriage neighed excitedly, and the carriage galloped faster and faster.

Mu Youchang lowered the curtains and withdrew his gaze from the Wei Mansion, and on his handsome face, the thin, beautifully shaped lips were slightly upturned, evoking a grim smile.

The temperament is very different from the gentle and elegant in daily life, just like a person who has been wearing a mask all year round has finally removed the mask on his face.

He was the only one in the carriage, and no one saw him like this.

No matter how shrewd Cen Yin is, he is just a person, a mortal.

There was a limit to what he could see, there was a limit to what he could have imagined, and he could never have guessed that all his actions had been expected by them, and he could never have imagined that he had been led step by step into the trap they had set.

Now, it's time to close the net.

Cen Yin has already cocooned himself and has nowhere to escape!

The carriage galloped all the way, and after passing five or six streets, it returned to the Second Prince's Mansion.

After Mu Youchang got off the carriage at Yimen, he went in the direction of the inner courtyard until he reached Chu Qingyu's courtyard.

The maid hurriedly led Mu Youchang into the second room.

Chu Qingyu wore a lilac-colored embroidered butterfly play lilac skirt and sat on the Luohan bed embroidering, and her black green silk was pulled into a loose silk.

Seeing that Mu Youchang was coming, Chu Qingyu put down the embroidery shed in his hand, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a strange light flashed under his eyes.

When she got up to greet her, she didn't show a trace of abnormality, and she was full of smiles.

"Your Highness."

"Yu'er, don't be polite." Mu Youchang hurriedly helped Chu Qingyu to sit down on the Luohan bed together.

The second room with the ice basin was much cooler than the outside, and Mu Youchang's spirit was better, and his black eyes were shining.

The palace maid hurriedly served him a glass of chilled watermelon juice, and when she saw Mu Youchang waving her hand to signal them to retreat, she was very knowledgeable and withdrew from the second room with the maids serving in the house.

"Yu'er, we're almost successful." Mu Youchang put a soft tone and smiled slightly, his handsome face was like a bright moon and a breeze.

Chu Qingyu was also laughing, but the smile was not as good as her eyes, her heart was like an iron stone, and she would never be moved by Mu Youchang's sweet words again.

"Thanks to you, Yu'er!" Mu Youchang was unaware of Chu Qingyu's coldness, and his hands eagerly held her hand, "You are really the greatest gift from God to this palace!" ”

However, for her, he is the biggest shame and stain in her life!

Chu Qingyu tried hard to suppress the disgust in his heart, and almost used all his strength to resist and break free.

Her eyes were half-drooping, and she seemed to be shy to speak, which was extremely pitiful.

Outside the window on the east side, there are a few green camphor trees, like large umbrellas blocking the scorching sun in the sky.

When the wind blows, the dappled light and shadow sway in the house, and the fragrance of the leaves also wafts in, and the faint fragrance floats in the air, blending with the purple incense lit in the corner, which gradually calms the heart of the listener.

Chu Qing smiled decently, "If you can help Your Highness, the concubine will be relieved." ”

Her smile was softer and more pleasant.

She was genuinely happy.

It all went the way she wanted.

Now, she just needs to wait patiently, wait until Cen Yin collapses, when Anping is cornered, and when Feng Yan falls into despair, she will go to see Feng Yan and give him a chance.

When that time comes, Feng Yan will know who she and Duanmu Fei are more useful to him in the future.

If he still wants to take back everything that belongs to him, he should know which is more important.

Thinking about it, Chu Qingyu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his face became more coquettish.

Seeing this demeanor in Mu Youchang's eyes, she only felt that Chu Qingyu was showing favor to herself, and on the one hand, she felt disgusted in her heart, but on the other hand, she also knew that Chu Qingyu was necessary for him.

Without Chu Qingyu, there will be other women, and with his identity, he will have to leave a son and a half daughter after all.

Otherwise, even if he ascends to that supreme position, who can pass it on?!

Mu Youchang raised his hand and took Chu Qingyu's slender body into his arms, and the hot air between his mouth and nose sprayed on her ears and neck.

"Yu'er, don't worry, Bengong knows that you are good to Bengong."

"This palace will definitely not disappoint you!"

Mu Youchang kissed Chu Qingyu tenderly on the top of her hair, like a butterfly flapping its wings and flying over the top of her hair.

Chu Qingyu trembled slightly, only to feel that the hairs on the back of his neck stood upside down.

Gradually, a layer of gloom appeared in her eyes, thicker and thicker, and her gaze stared blankly at the mottled shadows of the trees reflected on the stone brick floor.

"Rustling ......"

The broken light and shadow swayed slightly, just like Chu Qingyu's heart.

She said to herself—

It won't be long before it happens!

Mu Youchang's heart also emitted the same emotion, and both of them laughed, smiling proudly.

This pair of seemingly flounder lovers is actually pregnant with ghosts.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps and panting outside the house, Mu Youchang frowned slightly, let go of Chu Qingyu in his arms, and then came the shrill voice of the waiter outside the door curtain:

"Your Highness, Cen ...... Lord Cen is here! ”

Whether it was Chu Qingyu or Mu Youchang, they were all surprised.

The two looked at each other, and their expressions couldn't hide their suspicion.

Cen Yin's time has come, does he want to come and show goodwill to himself?!

This thought came to Mu Youchang's mind, and his brows were raised, with a bit of spirit.

"Let Cen Yin enter the mansion!" Mu Youchang got up and said, "This palace will meet him." ”

He was so proud that he didn't even use a word.

Chu Qingyu hurriedly stood up, grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, and said, "Your Highness, the concubine wants to go with His Highness to meet Cen ...... Overseer. ”

As he spoke, Chu Qingyu's eyes flashed slightly, and her lips pursed.

For Cen Yin, whether in the past life or in this life, there is a hint of legend.

In her memory, after Feng Yan ascended the throne in the previous life, the year name "An Ci", and Dasheng's court ushered in a new purge.

Many of the old ministers under the current command were either dismissed and investigated, demoted and transferred, or punished, but what no one expected was that Cen Yin still stood tall in the court and was still in power.

In the first year of Anci, when the Northern Yan came to attack, Cen Yin led his troops to the north and killed Lu Jiajing, the generalissimo of the Northern Army at that time, on the spot.

In the second year of An's resignation, Cen Yin returned triumphantly, and the saint's family was deeper, and Feng Yan regarded him as a confidant.

In the third year of Anci, Cen Yin led the East Factory to raid the Yongtai Hou Mansion, killed the Yongtai Hou father and son on the spot, and washed the Hou Mansion in blood, and the thick smell of blood almost drifted with the wind to the Chengfu which was only separated by an alley from the Yongtai Hou Mansion.

For at least a whole year, Chu Qingyu would rather take a detour than walk in front of the Yongtai Marquis Mansion.

One year, two years, three years, four years......

All forces sat and waited for Cen Yin to fall, but Cen Yin did not fall.

He was still the high-ranking celebrant eunuch and the overseer of the East Factory, and he was deeply trusted by Feng Yan almost blindly.

In the Manchu Dynasty, Cen Yin used it when he said it, killed it when he said it, and adjusted it when he said it......

The entire government and the opposition were afraid of Cen Yin, and everyone was terrified when they heard his name.

A palace attendant is so trusted by the emperors of the two dynasties, and it is only Cen Yin in history!

Since her previous life, Chu Qingyu has been afraid of Cen Yin, and this fear seems to be engraved in her heart, and it has continued until now.

She also wanted to see with her own eyes what Cen Yin was like when she lowered her head.

She wanted to completely erase her fear of Cen Yin from her heart.
