Chapter Twenty-Seven: Peaks and Loops
There was a faint hope in his heart, Dugu Jian Zhuang would definitely protect her no matter what, and she wouldn't die like this.
Wei Wenyan asked Yunqi to bring the jailer in, and asked in a deep voice, "Did she wear any jewelry when she was caught in?" ”
The jailer hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "It seems that I have a jade bracelet with me, but for some reason there is no one on this corpse." Presumably it was the person who gave it to Dugu Jianzhuang that day. ”
Wei Wenyan hid the joy in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Dugu Sword Village? Who? Who has visited her since she came in? ”
The jailer replied tremblingly: "At first, the crown prince and the crown princess came, and then the owner and wife of Dugu Sword Village came, and no one else came. ”
Wei Wenyan said sharply: "Don't talk about today's things to anyone. Yunqi gave the jailer a bag of gold, pulled out the sword in his hand, and said fiercely: "Keep your mouth shut, otherwise!" ”
The jailer kowtowed again and again: "Don't dare to be lowly in your position, don't dare to be in your humble position." Yunqi ordered another person in prison, and then walked out of the palace with Wei Wenyan.
At this time, he saw that Wei Wenyan's expression seemed to have eased a lot, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of touching the taboo.
At this time, Wei Wenyan opened his lips and said, "Enter the palace!" "This time should be in the early dynasty, just the right time to go.
"Your Majesty, Prince Mu is back and is waiting outside the palace!" Chen Hai hurriedly told Emperor Wei the news.
Emperor Wei was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile: "Xuan! ”
"Sons see their father, long live their father, long live their father!" Wei Wenyan knelt on the ground and prayed.
Emperor Wei smiled and said, "Flat!" Gu just received good news yesterday that the bandits have been eliminated, and now the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Lone should reward you well, say, what reward do you want? ”
Wei Wenyan pretended to think for a while and said: "Erchen only asks for the princess of Erchen in the future, whether it is a beautiful lady or a commoner woman, she can be chosen by Erchen's heart." ”
Is there any family affair in this dynasty that is not combined for the sake of profit, this Prince Mu dares to say in front of him. The ministers below held their breath and did not dare to speak.
Emperor Wei's face suddenly became a little more severe, and he wanted to point out Li Jinghan, the daughter of Li Yi's family, to him, but he didn't expect Lao Qi, the elm head, to ask him for this. In front of the ministers, Emperor Wei had no choice but to open his lips and say, "Okay! Lone promised you that Lone would never interfere in the matter of marrying a wife in the future. ”
"Thank you, Father Wang Longen!" Wei Wenyan kowtowed contentedly.
Emperor Wei laughed and said, "Today's victory for Prince Mu is a beautiful thing. A banquet will be held in the palace tonight to celebrate Prince Mu's victory, and all the secretaries will come! ”
"Retreat!" Chen Hai's voice sounded.
At this time, everyone came forward to congratulate Wei Wenyan, and Si Yuzong was also among them. Wei Wenyan opened his lips and said: "As soon as this king arrived in this Shangyang City, he heard that Zuo Xiang's children and concubines had died, but this king didn't seem to be sad when he saw Zuo Xiang. ”
How did His Majesty know about the early execution, Si Yuzong covered his expression and said embarrassedly: "The minister's concubine poisoned the minister's young son because of her jealousy and hatred, and it is not a pity to die for such a rebellious thing." ”
Isn't it a pity to die? Mu Yu is really unfortunate to have a father like you. Wei Wenyan ignored him, laughed and walked out of the court.
"Lord Wang, the people from Dugu Sword Village have come to collect the corpse!" As soon as Wei Wenyan returned to the mansion, the guards came to report.
Wei Wenyan frowned lightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Follow up, and send someone to Dugu Sword Village to find out what is abnormal." After that, he was about to go back to his room, but he saw the woman sitting in the main hall.
Yun Qi said at this time: "Lord Wang, this girl said that she has no one in Shangyang City, you see? ”
"You can do it." Wei Wenyan said lightly.
After a while, Yun got up and went to his room and said, "Lord Wang, she wants to stay in the mansion, what do you think will be arranged?" ”
"You look at the arrangement, by the way, she is not allowed to come near my study and bedroom." Wei Wenyan replaced the gauze on his leg without raising his head, and he was really embarrassed by this injured leg after running around several times.
Yun Qi glanced at his leg injury, but fortunately it did not deteriorate, so he withdrew with confidence.
Even Wei Wenyan didn't say that Yunqi wouldn't let the girl come to serve him, he had never liked others to wait, and the only person who took care of his daily life was the old lady who was brought out of the palace.
"Crown prince, crown princess, tonight the emperor will hold a celebration banquet for Prince Mu in the palace." Since he didn't go to the early dynasty, he naturally didn't know about it, so Chen Rui told him the news.
He should be happy when the seventh child is back, but he can't be happy. Today, Wei Wenchu locked himself in the room for a day, and he had just arrived at Lingxiaoju to prepare for dinner with Jiayang.
He didn't know why, he seemed to be used to coming to Lingxiao Ju to look for Jiayang every day when it was dinner time, even today.
"If you push it, you will say that the king is unwell." Wei Wenchu said after pondering for a moment.
Chen Rui said in embarrassment: "Prince, I'm afraid not, the emperor said that he must go." ”
"Prince, the concubine is sad to know that Mu Yu is gone. But it's not good to disobey your father again and again, it's already disrespectful for you to not go to the early dynasty this morning. Seeing this, Jiayang said, so he pulled Wei Wenchu up, "Since it's a dinner party, it's time to prepare, prince, go and change into court clothes." ”
Wei Wenchu had no choice but to stand up and go back to the room to change clothes. Chen Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and the prince was only willing to listen to the princess now.
It's just that when Wei Wenchu stepped into the Zhengyang Hall with Jiayang, he saw that Si Yuzong's family was there, and his face suddenly drooped. After meeting Emperor Wei, he walked straight to Si Yuzong's table, and Si Yayan was about to step forward when he saw this.
Wei Wenchu chuckled and said, "Zuo Xiang is so interested, today's concubine has just been executed, and your youngest son has not passed the first seven." At this time, Si Yuzong and Wei Changning's faces were white and blue for a while, and they were very embarrassed.
Si Yayan couldn't hear the meaning of his words, stepped forward and grabbed his arm and said, "Si Muyu's scourge is more than innocent." ”
Jiayang said sharply: "The palace is still here, second miss, please respect yourself." With that, he pushed Si Yayan's hand down and pulled Wei Wenchu to their place and sat down.
The people next to him all looked at Si Yayan and whispered. Si Yayan sat down in shame and looked at Jiayang's eyes becoming more and more vicious. At this time, Wei Changning patted her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, my mother will help you get it back in a while." ”
"Prince Mu has arrived!" Wei Wenyan walked into the hall and was about to salute, when Emperor Wei opened his lips and said, "No need to be polite, since Prince Mu has arrived, let's have a banquet." ”
In an instant, drums sounded, singing and dancing.
Wei Wenchu leaned into Jiayang's ear and said, "I'll go out with my seventh brother and come back later." Then he got up and invited Wei Wenyan out of the Zhengyang Palace.
"Lao Qi, the girl you said is gone today." When he walked to the Imperial Garden, Wei Wenchu opened his lips and said, but his voice became smaller and quieter, and his eyes turned red.
Wei Wenyan stared at him for a while and said in a dumb voice: "Brother Huang, I want to confess to you today." Mu Yu and I have actually made a private promise for life, so I rushed back from Shu overnight. ”
Wei Wenchu didn't seem to react much when he heard his words, but was unexpectedly calm. Wei Wenyan thought he would make a fuss, but after half a ring, Wei Wenchu said calmly: "I guessed that she has someone she likes, and I guessed it from the day I saw her wearing a jade bracelet in her hand." ”
After a pause for a while, he said with a crying voice: "It's just that I didn't expect it to be you, the seventh brother, but fortunately, it's you, and I can't think of anyone else who can be worthy of her besides you." When the words fell, a tear slipped down his cheek, and the man did not flick his tears, but he did not reach the sad place.
"Old Seven, you have never fought for anything, Dusi Muyu. Although I admire her, she has never had me in her heart, and you could have stayed with her for a long time. It's just that now that she's gone, I've tried my best but I can't keep her. After that, he lay on Wei Wenyan's shoulder and cried.
Wei Wenyan gently patted him on the back, he had always been very emotional, but Wei Wenyan was very calm, calm to the point of being terrifying. He said in a hoarse voice, "I will pay her innocence." ”
Then he pulled Wei Wenchu up and said with a smile: "Prince, how old are you, and you are still crying." Wei Wenchu wiped away the tears on his face and said, "It's time to go back, Jiayang should be in a hurry." ”
"I'm not going back, I want to be alone." Wei Wenyan said that he walked outside the palace.
