Wei Furong's face turned blue, "Hmph, it doesn't matter if the county lord kills her, after all, she is a despicable minion!" I don't believe that my third cousin will turn his face with me for a minion! ”

Wei Cheng's face sank, "As a royal family, can you take care of people's lives at will?" Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Ya hurriedly played a round, "Furong Hugh wants to talk nonsense, you kid is angry and likes to talk nonsense." ”

"Your Highness, this palace would like to hear your opinion." Mrs. Ya is so smart, she can see that Wei Cheng is planning to manage it to the end today, so she simply pushes the boat down the river and gives the other party a step down.

Wei Cheng was waiting for this, smiled and nodded, "She refuses to admit her guilt here, maybe there is some misunderstanding in this, once the following crimes are confirmed, it is not a light crime, it can be ended with a few blows, everyone has no clue if they make trouble, it is better to do this." He finally switched to the topic, "Temporarily lock Ruoxi in the Leng Xiang Palace, wait for the matter to be clarified, and then make a decision, what does Mrs. Ya think?" ”

Wei Furong immediately objected, "No, the guards outside the Leng Xiang Palace are all your subordinates, in case she escapes, it's hard to say, I don't feel at ease there." ”

"What is the county lord going to do?" Wei Cheng's eyes narrowed.

"Hmph, it's okay if you want to put her there, but my people also have to stay in the Cold Xiang Palace." She raised her face and looked at Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng's handsome face didn't show a trace of displeasure, and nodded, "That's fine." He stretched out his hand and summoned his guards, "Untie the ropes and take them to the Lengxiang Palace." "Someone came up to erect Ruoxi on the ground.

Ruoxi was helped up, it seemed that these guards had been instructed by Wei Cheng, and their hands were deliberately lightened, Ruoxi was careful not to pull the wound, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Highness Xie." She raised her head, saw the meaningful look in Wei Cheng's eyes, lowered her head, and put a smile on the corner of her mouth that no one noticed.

Wei Furong didn't succeed again, she was so angry that she snapped the whip on the ground, and Mrs. Ya persuaded her a few words before she reluctantly followed.

Qingyin Hall regained its calm, Martha was cleaning the ground, and there were still water stains in the place where Ruoxi had just knelt, was that her cold sweat? Martha stood in place with her mop in a daze, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Why did you lock Ruoxi in the Cold Fragrance Palace?" Zhong Wuyan walked beside Wei Cheng, his face was very ugly. Lengxiang Palace is a place that everyone fears in the imperial city, and only the harem ladies who have been snubbed by the emperor or who have made a big mistake will be imprisoned there. The so-called cold incense palace is also the most taboo cold palace for harem women. And what good conditions can there be in the cold palace? None of the people who went in came out alive, either they couldn't bear to find a short-sighted, or they were driven crazy, or they were soaked there for decades, waiting to die of old age.

In such a place, Zhong Wuyan really didn't understand how Wei Cheng calculated.

"That's it, big brother, Ruoxi's body, it's better to kill her if you put her there." Wei Ziyan held Zhong Wuyan's arm, her mouth cocked high.

Wei Cheng walked forward as usual, nodded, and said to Wei Ziyan, "You reminded me, go find the Imperial Doctor and go to Lengxiang Palace, I didn't look at Ruoxi's face very well just now." Wei Ziyan was also stunned when she heard him say this, and stomped her feet, "You just didn't ask the guards to ask for a doctor?" Really, I'll go now. Hey, shameless, you wait for me, let's go see Ruoxi together in the evening. She ran away.

Carrying her away, Wei Cheng gradually stopped, "Wuyan, if I'm not mistaken, Leng Xiang Palace is not far from your Huanchen Residence, right?" ”

Zhong Wuyan's breath stagnated, and his heart suddenly brightened, indeed, Huanchen Residence is close to Lengxiang Palace, when Zhong Qin chose a residence for him, he deliberately avoided the surroundings of many palaces in the harem, and chose this pure place, not only to make the outside world less gossip, but also his intention.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" He said in a low voice.

"Wuyan, I have eyes, I can see what you mean to Zi Yan." Wei Cheng said very directly, "Although I don't understand what is good about Ruoxi's girl that makes you and the third child so fascinated, but you are my friend, and I will definitely help you when I can help you." ”

Zhong Wuyan lowered his eyelashes, his thick eyelashes cast a dark shadow under his eye sockets, and Wei Cheng didn't care what he was thinking, "Zi Yan is infatuated with you because she is still young and has lived in the deep palace for a long time, you are the best man she has ever seen, she will like you, and it is normal." ”

Zhong Wuyan smiled bitterly, "Thanks to the princess's mistaken love." ”

Wei Cheng waved his hand, "What does it have to do with you?" She is the master, you are the minister, you can't do anything about her, don't look at her now like a fire, and when you really become her concubine, she will understand that love is reluctant, and the twisted melon is not sweet, this is the truth. I'm doing this now, it's also for her good, shameless, do you understand? ”

His words were very true, and every sentence fell on Zhong Wuyan's heart, he did hear his father Zhong Qin mention it a few days ago, when Wei Ying pointed out Wei Sa's marriage, Wei Sa's marriage was just the beginning, and then it was likely to be a happy event between him and Wei Ziyan. He didn't want to marry her, although sometimes Wei Ziyan did something that moved him very much, but that didn't mean that he would completely let go of his memories, accept her openly, and even fall in love with her.

If he did get to that point, he thought, he might run away.

"You're interested in that girl, aren't you?" Wei Cheng asked narrowly, and Zhong Wuyan's fair face turned red. Do you like it? Does he still have what it takes to like a second person? Besides, is it her or she that he likes? If one day he found out that his attention to Bai Ruoxi was only because she was too similar to that person, would he regret it?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wei Cheng thought he was embarrassed, and patted him on the shoulder, "Then I'll tell you, she is the third child." ”

This sentence seemed to infuriate Zhong Wuyan, sneered, and asked rhetorically, "Third Highness? If he had regarded Ruoxi as his person, would there have been these things later? "Occupy her, spoil her, let her become everyone's after-dinner conversation in the harem, he is happy, he protects her, and when he is unhappy, he leaves her aside, and lets others beat and scold her without asking, is this good for her?

Wei Cheng smiled unscrupulously, "The third child has never lacked beauties around him, and he is probably a whim to Ruoxi, but now, he is probably tired of playing." So, I thought about it, only in this way can it be good for everyone. ”

Zhong Wuyan's face couldn't be darker, and the word was like a thorn in his chest. He is still carefully exploring, pursuing hard, and is worried that the person who will scare her away from too fierce expressions will treat her as if she were a shoe, and he can't get rid of it? Ruoxi was still so sad and sad before, what did such a man have to cry about?

"Your Highness." He stood up and said to Wei Cheng, "I'll go see her." Wei Cheng nodded and looked at the road ahead, "You are not familiar with Lengxiang Palace, I'll take you there, and then I'll go." ”

Zhong Wuyan nodded, and the two of them turned around and walked towards Leng Xiang Palace.

The road became quieter and quieter, and finally an old palace wall mottled with red paint appeared in front of them, and outside the door there were weeds that had withered and yellowed last year, already half a man high, and still stood alone, guarded by four guards on either side of the red door. They were all from the guards of Qingyang Palace, so they naturally recognized Wei Cheng, and when they saw him coming, they all knelt down and saluted.

"What about people?"

"Back to Your Highness, just sent in. Temporarily arranged in the Zhengxiao Pavilion. ”

"You are so good at guarding, in the future, when Lord Zhong comes, it will be like this king coming in person, and you must obey Lord Zhong's orders."

"Yes." The guard stood up and peeked at Zhong Wuyan curiously, this person is really as handsome as the legend, is he really a man?

"The road inside is dark, and my subordinates lead the way for Lord Zhong." A guard lifted a lantern with a very eye-catching eye, and rested his wrist on Zhong Wuyan's arm. "Lord Zhong's subordinates are offended." In fact, what is there to offend two big men? After the guard finished speaking, he also felt funny, probably because this Lord Zhong was so beautiful that people couldn't help but blush when they saw it.

"Wuyan, you go in, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." Wei Cheng smiled slightly and said goodbye to him.

The silence in the Leng Xiang Palace is really terrifying, the steps are also very narrow, the whole corridor is high and steep, Zhong Wuyan has no eyes, even if he has two eyes that are easy to use, he will not be able to see anything when he enters it at this time.

The guards led him all the way down, and unexpectedly, Zhong Wuyan was only a little unsteady on the first step of the first section, and he has been walking very well since then, without a little stumbling. The guards even wondered if he was really blind.

"Lord Zhong, the small pavilion on the left hand side is the Zhengxiao Pavilion, the small one is waiting outside, if you have anything to do, just tell me." The guard pushed open a door, and the door panel that had been unused for a long time creaked with a tooth-aching sound. Zhong Wuyan nodded expressionlessly, and collapsed in one step.

Zhengxiao Pavilion didn't seem to be small, and he could hear a little resonance from the four walls when he stepped on the ground. He groped his way forward, his fingers touching the wall, feeling wet, cold and biting, after all, winter had not yet completely passed. There was a smell of decay everywhere here, and the beams of the wood had been soaked in water for years, and they had long since become rotten, and the more he walked inside, the more unpleasant his heart became.

There seemed to be something soft under his feet, Zhong Wuyan stopped his feet, and heard a snort when he took something, not like a mouse or something, and called tentatively, "Ruoxi?" ”

The thing moved, his ankle was caught, and in such a cold room, Zhong Wuyan, who was grabbed by an inexplicable creature, felt an irresistible cold rush up from his back. He couldn't help but think of the haunted legend of the Cold Xiang Palace.
