Hua Yan used the list left by Zhao Zaifu to quickly clear out a wave of Wuwei Hou's hidden chess in the court, and put Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Hanlin Academy into the East Palace prison.

In addition, in Zhao Zaifu's list, there is a deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, two hundred captains of the Praetorian Guard, and one deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

These people, Hua Yan instructed Yun Yi to take the twelve cloud guards to deal with them, after all, they are different from civil officials, they have kung fu and have soldiers under them, but it will be difficult to deal with them.

At night, as expected, as Huayan guessed, Wuwei Hou escaped from Dali Temple.

The key to the iron chain and the key to the cell Dali Temple Shaoqing gave Wu Weihou early in the morning, in order to get rid of the suspicion of Dali Temple Shaoqing, he had already arranged for people to receive him inside and outside without interfering. Therefore, even if he was arrested in advance and escorted to the dungeon of the East Palace, it still did not affect Wu Weihou's smooth escape.

Hua Yan eradicated a dark line of Wuwei Hou given by Zhao Zaifu during the day, but there is also a dark line, and it is not a high-ranking official or a heavy official, but an ordinary person who looks very inconspicuous.

There are the jailers and cell heads of the Dali Temple Prison, as well as the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, the Imperial Forest Army, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and even the shopkeepers and men who opened shops in the capital, as well as the small servants and slaves and maids in the mansions of various officials.

These people are inconspicuous on weekdays, but when they really come in handy, they are still very useful.

Although Hua Yan had been prepared early in the morning and ordered people to keep an eye on the movements in various parts of the capital with the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison as the core, she almost let Wu Weihou escape.

Therefore, when Quan Cheng couldn't find any trace of Wuweihou, Huayan was secretly accompanied by Yunyun, and waited for Wuweihou who was going to leave by the secret passage at the bottom of the lake when he returned to the mansion.

The night was as cold as water, Hua Yan was wearing a slightly thick cloak, standing under the moonlight in the courtyard, looking at Wu Wei Hou who was in a hurry, she smiled lightly, "Master Hou is so capable, for you alone, the whole city is involved." ”

When Wu Weihou saw Hua Yan, his face sank suddenly, and his relaxed and proud heart instantly sank to the bottom of the abyss, he looked at Hua Yan with almost black eyes, his eyes were full of storms, and he gritted his teeth, "Hua Yan? Why are you here? ”

Hua Yan gathered the cloak on her body and said with a smile, "Zi Chu once told me that if I see you when I go back to Beijing, I will help him do something." Can Master Hou guess what is going on? ”

Wu Weihou clenched his hands, "What's the matter?" Could it be that he asked you to kill Ben Hou? ”

"Not bad." Hua Yan smiled, "Master Hou guessed right!" ”

"Son!" Wu Weihou scolded hatefully.

Hua Yan shook her head, "Master Hou never thought he was your son, so why did you say that he was a son?" You killed his mother, and after he found out, he couldn't do anything to you. But his mother's revenge can't go unavenged, so she entrusted me with this matter. I killed the Hou Ye, there is no burden, he knows. ”

Wu Weihou stared at Hua Yan deadly, "Then why didn't you kill me earlier?" ”

Hua Yan played with the bracelet on her wrist and turned around again and again, "If I start early in the morning, how can I lead all the forces that Hou Ye has entrenched in the capital to wipe out?" After killing Hou Ye alone, Jingzhong is not peaceful, and Hou Ye's forces are cleared, and Jingzhong is truly stable. ”

Wu Weihou was furious, and a bloodthirsty killing intent appeared in his eyes, "I'll kill you first!" ”

Saying that, Wu Wei Hou stepped forward, his martial arts were naturally very powerful, but few people had seen him make a move. It is said that when he went to Nanyang Mountain for Su Ziqi to ask for apprenticeship, he was superior to Nanyang Zhenren, and he was only one move away from Nanyang Zhenren. Nanyang Zhenren once asked him, Hou Ye has this martial arts, why didn't he teach Ling Lang in person, Wu Wei Hou shook his head, and said: The father does not teach the son, and he is ruthless.

Nanyang Zhenren went down the mountain and received Su Zi Chop.

Yun Yin stepped forward and stopped Wu Weihou, and at the same time, the secret guards of the East Palace appeared, all protecting Hua Yan.

Yun Dian and Wu Wei Hou fought to a draw, Yun agreed, and also joined in, and the two fought against Wu Wei Hou alone, and immediately gained the upper hand.

After a hundred moves, Wu Weihou gradually became weak, and the two of them had a sword and pierced him back and forth.

Wu Weihou looked at the blade that pierced from the front of his chest and back, and stood in place for a long time, his eyes widened.

Hua Yan looked at him indifferently, thinking that Wu Weihou probably never dreamed of this way of death, he had been secretly camping in the camp all his life, and the burden of Houliang's restoration fell on his generation, how many things did he have on his shoulders in his life?

When he was young, he was as kind and pure as the young man of other families? When I asked for marriage and had to marry the second lady of Mei Fu, was it because she was innocent and lively, and she really loved it, or was it just because she was the daughter of the Mei family? Is it the younger sister of the prince's favorite Miss Meifu, and the father-in-law of the future son of heaven? In order to gain the trust of the saints today, he made a brother-in-law with him? In order to plot?

Hua Yan remembered the sentence that Su Zi added sadly, "Before he died, you asked him, did you love my mother?" As far as I know, my mother loves him. Who you liked when you were young can't remember it for a lifetime. My mother forgot. ”

Hua Yan looked at Wu Weihou and felt that if she didn't ask again, she would have no chance, so she helped Su Zi ask out.

When Wu Weihou heard Hua Yan's words, he suddenly laughed maniacally, "Love? Ben Hou doesn't love, if he says yes, the person he loves is also Liu Fuxiang, otherwise how could Ben Hou snatch her from Su Zi's hand? ”

Hua Yan was shocked.

Wu Weihou turned his head, looked at Hua Yan, and said with blood in his mouth, "You tell Su Ziqi that Ben Hou is waiting for him under the Nine Springs." ”

After saying a word, Wu Weihou's body fell to the ground and closed his eyes.

Mama Fang stepped forward and stretched out her hand to cover Hua Yan's eyes, "Don't look at the crown princess, if you see it, you will indirectly let His Royal Highness see it." Dead people are unlucky. ”

Hua Yan didn't take Mama Fang's hand, stood silent for a moment, and said, "Restrain Wuwei Hou!" Return to the palace. ”

This night, along with the death of Wu Weihou, completely cleared all dangers in the capital of Southern Chu.

The emperor was afraid that Hua Yan would be frightened, so he sent someone to the East Palace to ask Hua Yan if she was okay, and the Queen Mother also sent someone to ask, and she was relieved to hear that Hua Yan was safe.

On the morning of the second day, in the court, Hua Yan promulgated the ten crimes of Wuwei Hou, and the accomplice of the head of the Hanlin Academy, Shaoqing of Dali Temple and others were held responsible.

Because the Marquis of Wuwei was dead, he was deposed from the title, buried on a straw mat, the head of the Hanlin Academy, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was beheaded outside the noon gate to show the public, and the rest of the people were punished according to their crimes, including those who were sentenced to death, those who were exiled, and those who were detained for three or five hundred or eight years.

The court hall has gone through another round of baptism, and the civil and military officials are standing on the court hall sparsely, and the huge Jinluan Hall looks very empty.

Hua Yan unusually promoted several personnel who had performed well during this period of time to the DPRK and filled the court situation.

The government and the opposition finally saw the power of this princess of the East Palace.

After getting off the morning court, Hua Yan felt a little dizzy and unwell, and Mama Fang called in a panic.

After checking Huayan's pulse, he blew his beard and glared, "It's cold!" Why so careless? How did I tell you? ”

Hua Yan leaned on the chaise longue, "How could it be infected with the wind cold?" I didn't feel cold. ”

Mama Fang hurriedly said on the side, "It must have been yesterday, the lake breeze next to the lake in the Wuwei Hou Mansion was too cool at night, and it blew." As she spoke, she regretted it, "It's all to blame on the slave maid, I gave you less clothes." ”

Hua Yan reached out and patted Mama Fang's hand, "How can I blame you?" I still feel sweaty after wearing such a thick cloak yesterday. ”

"Okay, the wind chill is not a big deal, but you are pregnant, so you can't use heavy medicine. I'll prescribe some mild medicine, and you can take it slowly. Tian Bu interrupted the words of the two, and took the pen to think about it and prescribed a prescription.

When the fifth prince heard that Huayan was sick, he said that he wouldn't let her tired, and said that he wouldn't let her go to court tomorrow, but there was something he couldn't handle, so he brought it over and asked the fourth sister-in-law again.

Hua Yan didn't dare to be careless, and nodded in response, anyway, now that the capital is really impregnable, she doesn't have to worry too much, it's important to take care of the wind and cold quickly.

After hearing this, the emperor also agreed with the words of the five princes and asked Huayan to recuperate. Hua Yan was too tired for a while, and she was responsible for the huge affairs of the court, from when An Shuli was there, she and An Shuli worked together to investigate the major families in the world, and then after An Shuli left, she did the bureau to draw out all the forces of Wuweihou, and the capital was stable and peaceful, and as soon as the string she was holding loosened, she let out a sigh of relief, and naturally fell ill.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but go out of the palace to see Huayan that day, and saw her lying on the bed crookedly sweating, and she was reluctant to complain about her, after all, she was also for Nanchu Sheji, but she said a few words to the Duchess of Jingguo, blaming her for being by her side, and not persuading her, which made her tired and sick.

Duchess Jingguo also blamed herself, if she forcibly persuaded her, who knew that she would suddenly be sick?

The Queen Mother was not worried about Huayan, so she stayed in the East Palace and watched her recuperate.

After raising like this for a few days, Hua Yan's illness has not improved, not only to Mama Fang, but also to the Duchess Jingguo and the Queen Mother. Tian Bu also frowned, feeling that Hua Yan's situation was not good.
