"I haven't seen you for a while, how is the second prince doing?" The snow-white clothes and long hair of the same color came into view, dispelling the early spring atmosphere that had just been a little warm, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold. Lian Song bowed slightly with one hand in front and behind the other, and a flirtatious smile hung on his lips: "Hey, isn't this Miss Yan, when did you return to the palace?" Qinglian Palace has been separated for more than ten days, and it is really a blessing to see that Miss Yan can escape the catastrophe and stand here intact. ”

Every time I meet Lian Song, I will make Yan Li feel very uncomfortable, and being looked at by that kind of snake-like silent, cold and slippery gaze is like a demon, and it is unspeakably uncomfortable.

Wen Moshu saw that Yan Li's face was not good, and stepped forward to block between her and Lian Song, blocking Lian Song's sight without a trace: "It's rare to see Prime Minister Lian in the palace, is it a coincidence today, or is it that Prime Minister Lian was also summoned by the emperor?" ”

Lian Song naturally saw Wen Moshu's protection of Yan Liwu, lowered his head and smiled, and made way for the two of them: "Like the second prince and Miss Yan, they were all called by the emperor, and I don't know what is important so suddenly, does the second prince know anything?" ”

"I don't even know the prime minister, how can I know?" Wen Mo smiled decently, hiding his haggard and sick color.

In addition to Wen Moqing, the only people who keep an eye on Yan Liwu are Concubine Yun and Lian Song, plus Lian Song is Wen Jingyuan's most trusted confidant at present, with sharp eyes and spicy wrists, Wen Moshu has no doubt that he is pretending - if there is anyone in the palace who first discovers that Yan Liwu is hidden in the Tianque Palace, that person is none other than Lian Song.

With Wen Moshu protecting him every step of the way, Lian Song didn't have a chance to talk to Yan Liwu at all, but he didn't mind, so he simply let the two of them enter the courtyard of the imperial study first, and he followed closely behind.

"Together? It's good that everyone will be there this way. Hearing Zhao's announcement, Wen Jingyuan waved his hand to let people in, stroked his beard and looked meaningfully at Wen Moqing, who came first beside him, "I didn't expect you to come in advance, and I summoned Prime Minister Zuo without permission, don't you mind?" ”

"It's too late to be happy to have the opportunity to get acquainted with Prime Minister Lian, who has never seen the end of the dragon, how can you mind?" Wen Moqing was indifferent as usual, and his eyes naturally glanced in the direction of Yan Liwu and the other three coming in.

The first thing he saw when he came in was Wen Moqing, and after quickly exchanging glances, they looked away, the salute that should be saluted, the silence that should be silent, as if they had never known each other, no one could have imagined that not long ago, these two people were still snuggling tightly in the underground palace, confiding in each other.

"I summoned you here today mainly to discuss the punishment of the words." After ordering someone to give Wen Moshu a seat, Wen Jingyuan held the teacup and spoke leisurely, "The prince of Dingyuan has explained to me that he temporarily entrusted his worries to the second prince because he was injured and unconscious, and I will no longer pursue this matter, after all, it is safer in the palace than those barbarians." Now that the roster has been recovered, and the relevant courtiers and magnates have all been subdued, although this is the Qinglian King's deeds that should not be rewarded, but the second prince and the prince have both told me that this Yan girl is not the Qinglian King himself, so I want to ask you what you mean in front of her - is it a punishment or a reward? What kind of punishment should be used, and what kind of reward should be given? ”

Wen Jingyuan's question was quite delicate, and no one spoke for a while, and they were all silent, cautiously waiting for others to speak first.

Among the several people present, except for Yan Liwu himself, the other three people each represented different positions, Wen Mo didn't need to say it, he wished that Yan Liwu could get rid of all the bad circumstances and fly with him; Lian Song is a person from Lan Zhirong's faction, and it is absolutely impossible to expect any good results from Yan Li's worries; Wen Moqing is different from the two of them, he is an enemy with King Qinglian, and his relationship with Yan Liwu is ambiguous, it is really difficult to guess which side he is on, and none of the real thoughts of these three people is really known by Wen Jingyuan.

On Wen Moshu's side, Wen Jingyuan didn't know that he and Yan Liwu had progressed to an intimate relationship of talking about marriage; On Lian Song's side, he never found out about the secret collusion between the favorite concubine and the important ministers, and he didn't know what kind of threat Lian Song was to Yan Liwu; Wen Moqing's side...... From the first time he saw it, Wen Jingyuan has been pondering this young and promising junior repeatedly, but in the end, he can't even determine what his attitude is towards King Qinglian and Yan Liwu.

The emperor who thought he was wise and martial was nothing more than a poor lord who was blinded to the truth in the eyes of those people.

Wen Moqing didn't speak, Wen Moshu was also silent, and he didn't want to be the role that was the easiest to be caught first, when Wen Jingyuan was almost annoyed after several urgings, Lian Song took the lead in relieving: "Whether this girl Yan is the king of Qinglian or not, there is no evidence to clearly explain whether she should be rewarded or punished, and it has to be decided by the emperor." ”

"I've been agonizing over this matter for months, how could I call you to make an idea if I have the right decision?" Wen Jingyuan leaned back in his chair and deliberately made a distressed and depressed expression, "Not long after I inherited the first emperor's society, what I am most worried about when dealing with the government on weekdays is to be confused and biased, and this is still the case for small things, not to mention the matter of King Qinglian?" Now the crux of this confused account is whether this girl is the king of Qinglian or not, but the investigation has been carried out for a year without any results, you say, what else can I do? ”

It is Wen Moqing's task to find out the identity of Yan Liwu, Wen Jingyuan said this somewhat to blame for his incompetence, but Wen Moqing was not complaining or annoyed, his face was still as plain as water: "The origin of the Qinglian King is unknown, the identity is complex and mysterious, and the minister found that the Qinglian King may also be involved in some state forces outside Zhongzhou in the process of investigation, and the difficulty of continuing to track down can be imagined." In the past few months, the minister and the girl Yan have been in contact with the second prince and the fourth prince, and these two have had more contact with the Qinglian King than the minister, as for the judgment of whether this Yan girl is the Qinglian King, the emperor may wish to ask their opinions. ”

Going around and around, the errand of judging was still pushed on his head. Wen Moshu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and looked at Wen Moqing lightly with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

In any case, Wen Moqing skillfully handed over the decision to Wen Moshu, and excluded Lian Song very naturally, which was very beneficial to Yan Liwu, even if it was possible to expose his partiality for Yan Liwu, as long as it could be exchanged for the desired result, it didn't matter.

Coughing lightly a few times to hide his complicated eyes, Wen Moshu took a deep breath and said: "Back then, Erchen and the Qinglian King still had some friendship, and they were more familiar with his temperament, and after contacting Miss Yan for a period of time, it can basically be concluded that Miss Yan is not the Qinglian King. Of course, this is just the words of the son's family, it is better to call the fourth brother to inquire according to what the prince said, and give a lot to the emperor...... Father's tips. ”

Wen Jingyuan nodded, and immediately asked Zhao Gonggong to go to Longxin Hall to summon Wen Mozheng, and after a cup of tea, Wen Mozheng hurried over.

"This ...... Erchen is also not sure...... "After listening to Wen Moqing's proposal, Wen Mozheng seemed to be a little embarrassed, and hesitated, "I have met with Qinglian King a lot before, but the number of conversations is only a handful, let alone familiar, if you have to make a conclusion......" Cautiously glanced at Yan Li, Wen Mozheng twisted his brows and thought for a long time, and swallowed his saliva hard: "This Yan girl is knowledgeable and approachable, although she can't remember what happened before entering Qinglian Palace, but in essence, she is very different from the arrogant and domineering Qinglian King, Therefore, Erchen's conclusion is the same as that of the second brother, and he does not think that Miss Yan is the king of Qinglian. ”

Hearing Wen Mozheng's answer, after entering the imperial study, he was always worried about his worries, and finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Moqing, who has been in contact with her for the longest time, did not assert it, which would not make the emperor suspect that there was any connection between the two of them, and the two brothers Wen Moshu and Wen Mozheng, who did not seem to have much contact, insisted that she was not like the Qinglian King, and this was the best result without revealing an abnormal relationship.

The two people who were recommended to distinguish had answers, Wen Jingyuan was not in a hurry to draw conclusions, he quietly picked up the teacup, and seemed to ask casually: "The conclusion of the second prince and the fourth prince, what does Prime Minister Zuo want to add?" ”

"The minister has never seen the Qinglian King, so he is not qualified to say anything. If you think about it carefully, since the two princes have a very high opinion of Miss Yan, they must have nothing to do with the notorious queen, if not, it is very hidden, enough to deceive all acquaintances, but there should be no one who can play tricks like this. ”

Lian Song's answer was ambiguous, not only did not object to what Wen Moshu and Wen Mozheng said, but also left a way back for the statement that Yan Liwu might be the King of Qinglian, which sounded unfathomable at first glance, but in fact it was tantamount to a bunch of nonsense. Wen Jingyuan was dissatisfied with Lian Song's answer, and did not attack in front of everyone, only sank his face, and then raised his hand and waved.

"Don't tolerate adultery, don't kill innocents by mistake, think about it, this punishment is still waived, as for the reward......"

Wen Jingyuan hesitated, shook his fists and suddenly spoke: "It is a great joy to be able to clear the suspicion, the people's daughters don't expect any rewards, they just ask the emperor to give the people's daughters the opportunity to return to their ordinary lives, and they don't have to go up and down in the turmoil." ”

"That's what you want?" Wen Jingyuan smiled with interest, "Your request is easy to handle, and it also saves me the trouble of thinking about it, but you can think about it, there is only one chance, and I will not wait for you to regret it and reward you again." ”

"This year, the women of the people followed the son of the world to go from place to place, and the hardships they endured could not be counted, and they were so tired that they did not want to live this kind of life again, and if they could leave the land of right and wrong and live a peaceful life, there was no reward more valuable than this."

Probably didn't expect that Yan Liwu would take the initiative to make a request, Wen Jingyuan thought for a moment but hesitated a little: "It's not difficult for you to return to the people, but in this way, as the deposed Qinglian King, won't he disappear from the world?" If someone asks, I'm not easy to explain! ”

Is it possible that she will continue to play the Qinglian King until she dies? Yan Liwu gasped, a burst of nervousness surged in his heart, and cold beads of sweat appeared in his palms.

Wen Jingyuan only said that he would not kill innocents by mistake, but he did not say that he would not continue to restrain her, what if she was forced to continue to pretend to be the King of Qinglian in order to give an explanation to the people of the world? The deposed Qinglian King is a serious crime, and now that she has a roster as evidence of her crimes, maybe there will be more punishments in the future, do you have to bear it? If that's the case, let alone being with Wen Mo, it's a question of whether you can live well.

Yan Li's worry also appeared in Wen Moshu's heart, and he couldn't help but look at her a few times, and when he saw that her face was slightly pale, he was also anxious, and inevitably coughed again.

"If the emperor is worried about how to explain the whereabouts of King Qinglian to the outside, the minister has an idea for reference." Wen Moqing, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, and his calm tone brought surprise and great expectations to Yan Liwu. got up and walked to Wen Jingyuan and put half a jade pendant on the bookcase, Wen Moqing showed a smile that seemed to be nothing: "What the emperor needs is just a corpse, just under the underground palace of Qinglian Palace, there is such a corpse that can be used to hide from the world." ”
