At this time, Xihuamen has already been surrounded by layers of Praetorian Guards, not for anything else, just because the most noble but also the most hypocritical man in the whole world is here.

He Xi hid the ridicule in his eyes and entered with Fuqing.

The Xihua Gate has been opened, and at a glance you can see the crowd of people outside the palace, many people are dressed in green cloth clothes, it is the literati who gather in the capital to learn words, and kneeling in the middle of the crowd is a stubborn woman, it is the county lord of Anguo, Wei Hongsleeve. Lan Xin on the side also knew the cause and effect of the matter, she didn't seem to know that things had developed to such a point, her face was pale, and she almost relied on Linglong's body to support herself from falling.

He Xi stepped forward and saluted slightly, Tuoba Chen frowned and saw that she was dressed, and felt that it was inappropriate, but now was not the time to care about this matter, so he could only say angrily: "Why did you come with you?" What about Fuqing? ”

He Xi didn't seem to be able to hear the dissatisfaction in his words, looked at Tuoba Yue's look at him, raised his lips slightly, and leaned closer and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is here to help Your Majesty." ”

Before Dao Tuoba Chen could react to the deep meaning of He Xi's words, he heard Wei Hongsleeve, who was kneeling outside the Xihua Gate, say loudly: "Your Majesty, the courtier, wants to expose the Lan clan and kill Zhongliang. ”

Tuoba Chen frowned and said, "Isn't it already disposed of?" What else do you want to expose? ”

Hearing the word disposition, Lan Xin's body shook, and her face became a little whiter.

Wei Hongsleeve just raised her hands high, and there were stacks of letters on them, she didn't raise her head, just stared at the bluestone slab ground in front of her and said loudly: "Although it is disposed of well, but the courtiers have evidence, the Lan family and Your Majesty have reached an agreement to bear the charge of murdering Zhongliang by themselves, defend Your Majesty, and exchange the lives of the Lan family." As soon as the words fell, everyone present began to talk one after another, Tuoba Chen's face seemed to be dripping blood, his teeth were gurgling, he clenched his fists tightly and said, "Bold, do you know what you are talking about now?" ”

Wei Hongsleeve shrank unconsciously, suddenly raised his face, and said loudly: "What the courtiers said is true, the letters are all there, and there is His Majesty's seal on it, you can ask Dali Temple to check the authenticity, the Lan family, Tian is shameless, trying to deceive the world, the most deserved, not just exiled and derogatory!" ”

Someone had already stepped forward and took the letter and handed it over to Wu Mingkai, the secretary of Dali Temple.

He flipped through it for a moment, his face changed greatly, and he passed the things in his hand to his colleagues present.

Tuoba Chen only felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart, and the jade wrench on his finger was almost crushed by him, Fuqing saw this and stepped forward, leaned closer and said, "Your Majesty, the Lan family brought it." ”

Tuoba Chen's heart moved, and he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, he waved his hand, and said loudly: "Since you were a member of the Lan family, you should come out to confront you again."

Lan Xin seemed to have found the backbone of the Lord's heart, and almost screamed: "Yes, Your Majesty, what she said is false, she lies, she is—is—"

She was stunned suddenly, because she really didn't know why Wei Hongsleeve would stand up at this time, after all, the Lan family was also her husband's family, wasn't it?

Thinking about it like this, she really has no reason to stand up and treat the Lan family like this, right? Tuoba Chen glanced at Lan Xin with his eyebrows, and the warning in his eyes was overflowing, so startled that Lan Xin closed her mouth for a moment and stopped talking.

Tuoba Chen walked in front of Lan Ruo and said softly, "Ruo'er, you have suffered. ”

Fuqing, who was standing next to Lan Ruo, looked at Tuoba Chen with tenderness on his face with some surprise, but He Xi's expression was as calm as a puddle of water, and he was not shocked.

Lan Ruo's expression was a little moved, after all, the person in front of him was a man he had loved for so many years, it was a cinnabar mole that grew on his heart, and when he moved slightly, he couldn't help himself.

No matter how much I warned myself in my heart, the negative heart of the person in front of me was weak, but the heat in my eyes could no longer be helped, and before I spoke, my eyes turned red first.

Lan Ruoqiang endured the sourness in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty still remembers the concubine. ”

She wanted to shake off Tuobachen's hands, but those hands were so powerful that she only heard Tuobachen's eyes full of begging and wanting to speak, and there was a slight sparkle. Lan Ruo couldn't help but be stunned, she had known Tuoba Chen for more than ten years, how could she ever see him like this, and the men of the capital would not flick when they had tears.

She turned sideways slightly, and just wanted to speak, she heard a commotion in the crowd, and when everyone looked over, they saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe rushing out of the crowd, his sideburns were already a little gray, it was Wei Zhongliang.

He was almost unsteady on his way, stumbled over, walked in front of Wei Hongsleeve, and raised his hand, a loud and crisp slap, and landed firmly on Wei Hongsleeve's face.

Wei Hongsleeve's already pale face suddenly surged with blood, and she didn't cry or speak, just kneeling, as if the person who was insulted was not herself.

"Sir—"

With an exclamation, a woman dressed in an ink-colored dress rushed out, it was Mrs. Wei, who had a weak personality, she threw herself on Wei Hongsleeve's body regardless of her official status, and cried: "Master-Red Sleeves, she just can't think about it for a while, Red Sleeves, she-"

Wei Hongsleeve gently stroked Mrs. Wei away, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, everything my daughter does is well thought out—"

Before the words fell, Wei Zhongliang fell down with another loud blow, and he scolded angrily: "Evil barrier, how did I, Wei Zhongliang, give birth to such an evil obstacle as you-don't hurry up and ask Your Majesty for guilt!" You are not on good terms with Lan Gongzi's husband and wife, and you have fabricated these false evidence, thinking that until Lan Gongzi dies, I really gave birth to you for nothing——"

Mrs. Wei sensed the deep meaning of Wei Zhongliang's words, and also came to her senses, she hurriedly walked forward a few steps, knelt down in front of Xihua Gate, and kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty - Your Majesty atoned for her sins - Red sleeves She was just confused for a while, she didn't know anything at all——"

Wei Zhongliang looked at Wei Hongsleeve with a fierce voice, as if she dared to say a word today, he could beat her to death outside this Xihua Gate.

But Wei Hongsleeve is an iron-hearted person, she suddenly laughed, looked at her father with some mockery, she slowly got up, stood in front of Wei Zhongliang, and said in a deep voice: "Father, since you said that your daughter has failed your teachings, then you can tell me, what is loyalty, righteousness, etiquette and filial piety?" ”

Wei Zhongliang didn't expect Wei Hongsleeve to talk to him like this, and he stretched out his hand to hit him, but Mrs. Wei hurriedly rushed over to stop him when she saw this, crying: "Master, master, do you really want to kill Hongsleeve?" Red sleeves are wronged, she has eaten so much crying, and now she is just confused for a while, I will persuade her, she has been the most obedient since she was a child. ”

Wei Zhongliang's hand froze in mid-air like this, as if he had experienced the passage of time, a petrified statue, how could he not feel distressed, Wei Hongsleeve was the only daughter of him and Mrs. Wei, since she was a child, she had never been harsh, and now that these people were slapped in front of him, even if it was himself, it was difficult to start.

Wei Hongsleeve saw the tears in her father's eyes, and she couldn't help but soften her heart, and before she wanted to speak, she heard Wei Zhongliang say: "Daughter, you are doing this to put me and your mother in it, and the entire Wei Mansion in it——"

The only little weakness left in Wei Hongsleeve's heart was gone, she looked at Wei Zhongliang with a sneer, and suddenly asked: "Father, my daughter is doing this to put the Wei Mansion in, but what about you, father?" You have taught me since I was a child, I said benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and filial piety, and my daughter has kept it in mind, and everyone is virtuous, and morality is conscience, and conscience is not only the principle of heaven, but also the will of oneself and others. How many things has Lan Fu done over the years, does my father really not know? Just that—brute—"

She suddenly stopped talking, and her whole body trembled slightly unconsciously, and there was a kind of fear at that time, which is a habit that naturally arises when people live under oppression for a long time.

She took a deep breath and forcibly calmed herself down, "Father, when his daughter lived in the den of the tiger and wolf, did the father ever think about half a point for his daughter?" When your daughter needs your mother's help the most, you also said the same, for the sake of the prime minister of the dynasty that the Wei Mansion cannot offend——"

She seemed to remember the despair at that time, Wei Hongsleeve looked at Wei Zhongliang almost questioningly, but at this time, Mrs. Wei was already crying uncontrollably, her body was soft like a puddle of mud, and she fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

It's they who are sorry for Wei Hongsleeve, since Wei Hongsleeve returned to the door, as soon as she closes her eyes, she seems to be able to see the scars on Wei Hongsleeve's body, the skin and flesh, and her daughter's crying eyes.

Wei Hongsleeve bypassed Wei Zhongliang, and when he passed by him, he only heard Wei Hongsleeve say: "Father, admit it, those are all excuses, all you care about is yourself, whether it is the Wei Mansion, a daughter, or even a mother, in your eyes, they are just a chess piece, you never care about us." Therefore, you would rather send me back to be tortured by that beast than offend the Lan Mansion for your daughter, and now, your backer has fallen, who are you going to turn to? Your Majesty or the Queen? ”

Her voice was not low, Tuoba Chen and the others who were far away could hear it clearly, only to hear Wei Hong's thin lips lightly, and said: "The queen mother is difficult to protect herself now, even if she can ensure your official career in the future, if she knows that she has no children under her knees for so many years, it is because of your hands and feet, do you say that she will still protect you?" ”

Wei Zhongliang's face was pale, and Wei Hongsleeve almost didn't give Wei Zhongliang any chance to refute, but said lightly: "But if Your Majesty knows that in order to cling to the Lan Mansion, you did not hesitate to disobey the Holy Will, and let my mother marry the Lan Mansion while knowing the Sacred Heart, do you think Your Majesty will still protect you?" ”
