Wei Wenxiu sighed again when he saw Wei Chilin, and before he could speak, he continued again: "More importantly, once Ling Yuxin is canonized as the queen, Ling Fengyang will no longer be a simple official secretary, and now there are already many people in the court who have a wait-and-see attitude, looking at whether our Wei family can regain its decline, and whether the Ling family, the Xiao family, and even the emperor can continue to suppress or even reduce our power, how many people are secretly watching with wavering hearts and making a choice just waiting for the situation to be clear, Dad, you know best, don't you? At that time, I will rush to the identity of Ling Fengyang Guozhang, and I don't know how many people will abandon my Wei family and go to his Ling family, what is the place for my Wei family at that time? The daughter prevented Ling Yuxin from being canonized as the queen in order not to let this day come and not let all this become a reality. Isn't this a matter of life and death for our Wei family? Dad, my daughter called the dead soldier to assassinate Ling Yuxin today in order to keep the status of our Wei family and everything you have now. ”

Wei Chilin shook his head secretly while listening, and sighed in his heart: Wenxiu is a daughter after all, and she is still young in the end, although she is intelligent, she is still not forbearant enough, once she involves her own feelings, she is easily swayed by emotions and loses her reason and judgment. couldn't help but sigh: "Wenxiu, dad doesn't deny it, what you said is indeed the truth, but you are really too impulsive and too thoughtful this time, you only thought about what impact it would have on my Wei family if you didn't kill Ling Yuxin today, but have you ever thought that if you used a dead soldier to assassinate Ling Yuxin on the street in the capital today, would it have an impact on my Wei family?" And what will be the impact? Have you weighed the pros and cons and priorities between the two? ”

Wei Wenxiu's expression froze, since she knew that Ling Yuxin had returned to the capital safely, she only thought about what kind of impact Ling Yuxin's existence would have on the Wei family and herself, so she just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as soon as she got the news that Ling Yuxin had left the Ling Mansion and there was no Xiao Yurui and Wei Chifeng's Xiao Cavalry Battalion to follow and protect her, she felt that it was a godsend, so she didn't hesitate to take out the order that Wei Chilin gave her for safekeeping and called the dead man to assassinate, just wanting to make Ling Yuxin disappear as soon as possible, It was true that he had never considered the consequences of using a dead soldier to assassinate Ling Yuxin on the street in the capital. Now that Wei Chilin asked her like this, she was speechless for a while.

Wei Chilin saw Wei Wenxiu's expression and sighed again, "This is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, a group of well-trained black-clothed masked men assassinated in the streets, and openly killed and injured the soldiers defending the city and the Imperial Forest Army, do you know how serious this is?" Wei Chilin's tone gradually became serious, "You should know that the main reason why our Wei family was able to cover the sky with one hand and make the first emperor afraid of three points is because our Wei family is in charge of half of the military power, your second uncle holds heavy troops to guard the border passes, and more than half of the defenders of the palace and the capital are controlled by your father --- me. The military power of the defenders of the capital has always been firmly held by his father, which is also the place where the emperor is most afraid of your father, although he has long been willing to take away the military power of the defenders of the capital, but he can't change people at will for no reason," After a pause, Wei Chilin's eyes became sharper and sharper when he looked at Wei Wenxiu, "Now there are people in the capital who are committing murder on the street, and the generals defending the city and the Imperial Forest Army are invincible to the assassins, not only have countless casualties, but also failed to catch the assassins alive, think about it, you made such a big move, Is it equivalent to you sending him the best reason to remove the generals of the defenders of the capital, no matter whether you assassinate Ling Yuxin today or not, the military power of the defenders of the capital will probably be difficult to be controlled by my Wei family, and if it is found that these assassins who killed and injured the soldiers defending the city on the street were sent by my Wei family, then even if we were charged with the crime of attempting rebellion and rebellion, it would not be an exaggeration to charge our Wei family with the intention of rebellion and rebellion. ”

Wei Wenxiu was already very smart, he was carried away by the hatred for Ling Yuxin before, and he didn't have time to think about it, but now he was woken up by Wei Chilin's words, and immediately figured out the key point, and immediately regretted and blamed himself.

Wei Chilin's previous anger had already been exhausted after seeing and listening to Wei Wenxiu's grievances and unwillingness again and again, and now seeing her expression of remorse and self-blame, he couldn't bear to blame her anymore, and sighed secretly, "That's it, since you understand, Dad won't say anything more," then waved his hand and said: "Leave the order talisman and go back to rest, Dad will take care of the aftermath, but don't mention it to anyone, including your mother and your brother, don't be swayed by emotions in the future, so that you lose your reason and judgment and do foolish things." ”

Wei Wenxiu's eyes were already full of tears, and he opened his mouth when he heard the words, as if he wanted to say something more, but after all, he didn't say more, he gently took out the order charm and put it on the table, looked up at Wei Chilin, and exited Wei Chilin's study with guilt and unwillingness.

"Alas......" Wei Chilin couldn't help but sigh deeply after watching Wei Wenxiu leave, and after pondering for a while, he called the housekeeper Wei Chen and whispered a few words, and Wei Chen hurriedly left the house after receiving the order.

In the Ling Mansion, as soon as Ling Yuxin and Bai Zhu entered the door, they avoided the people all the way and quietly slipped into the room, the two of them just changed their clothes, and after they finished grooming, they heard Cui Han's shouting from far and near, "Miss, something is wrong, something is wrong, something is wrong, something is wrong......

Bai Zhu turned his head to look at Ling Yuxin, Ling Yuxin carefully glanced at herself and Bai Zhu, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong, she nodded and motioned for Bai Zhu to open the door, when Bai Zhu opened the door, Cui Han just ran to the door, so she strode into the house, and kept shouting as she ran.

Ling Yuxin couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw Cui Han's startled appearance, and saw that she was running a little out of breath, so she couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's such a fuss, don't worry, take a breath first, and speak slowly." ”

Cui Han took a breath and said, "Miss, something is wrong, just now we saw smoke in the direction of the city gate to warn, Uncle Quan asked Xiao Ding to go out to inquire about the situation, but Xiao Ding came back after inquiring and told us that I heard that there was a large group of black-clothed masked people who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and directly entered the capital, the city gate defenders were not their opponents, they were killed and injured countless times, and they couldn't resist their attack, so they lit smoke to warn for help, that group of black-clothed masked people were all strong in martial arts, and after killing and injuring the soldiers defending the city, rushed directly into the capital, and shot the people indiscriminately on the street, as if to slaughter the city, and then received the warning signal of the hussar battalion was the first to rush to support, and the group of black-clothed masked people fought on the street, I heard that the battle was fierce, the hussar battalion was also killed and wounded, and then there was an iron guard battalion to support, but they were no match for the black-clothed masked man, and finally the royal forest army suffered countless casualties, but none of the black-clothed masked people were caught, and I don't know who was going to rebel. I'm afraid I'm looking for an opportunity to enter the palace, what can I do, Miss, the lord is the official of the dynasty, will there be danger, will those black-clothed masked people kill our Ling Mansion? ”

Ling Yuxin and Bai Zhu glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but show some expressions of crying and laughing, they didn't expect that a simple assassination was rumored to be rumored to be someone who was going to rebel and enter the palace, both of them felt funny and couldn't help but sigh that the rumors were really terrible.

Cui Han couldn't help but look at them blankly when she saw Ling Yuxin and Bai Zhu's reactions, Ling Yuxin didn't want to make a fuss, she was afraid that Cui Han would ask more, so she immediately restrained her expression and replied solemnly: "Such a serious matter, you can't just hear about it, it's better to let people go out and inquire about it, and then figure it out first." ”

When Cui Han heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he immediately nodded and replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, let's figure it out first, I'll find a few more people and then go out to inquire." With that, he turned and ran out.

After Cui Han left, Ling Yuxin couldn't help frowning, and Bai Zhu asked when she saw this, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Are you worried that those black-clothed masked people will really come to the Ling Mansion? ”

Ling Yuxin shook her head slightly, "I'm not worried about this, in my opinion, they don't dare to come to Ling Mansion to kill me directly." ”

"How do you know they don't dare to come to Ling Mansion?" Bai Zhu asked suspiciously.

"I've been back to Beijing for so many days, if I dare to come directly to Lingfu, I'm afraid I'll come a long time ago, I don't have to wait until today, I don't believe it will be such a coincidence, it just so happened that I sneaked out of the mansion today and happened to meet them on South Street, so I think it is likely that they have been secretly guarding outside the mansion, and then followed us to South Street before making a move."

"But we snuck out of the house yesterday? If it was really them who were secretly guarding outside the house, then it stands to reason that they would have had a chance to do it yesterday! ”

"I guess it's probably because they didn't recognize us when we first pretended to be a family member and left the house yesterday, and we only recognized us today, or maybe it was because we revealed that it was our daughter when we were on South Street to save Zhou's sister-in-law, so that our identities were exposed, and we were discovered by their people."

Bai Zhu nodded subconsciously, "It's possible, then those assassins have been secretly monitoring the Ling Mansion all along." ”

Ling Yuxin nodded slightly, "I guess so, but they shouldn't dare to rush into the Ling Mansion directly, they only dare to do it after waiting for me to leave the mansion." ”

"And what are you worried about?" Bai Zhu asked puzzled.

"According to what Cui Han said just now, I'm afraid that the Imperial Forest Army really failed to catch the black-clothed masked man, judging from their battle with the soldiers defending the city today, they are better than the two groups of people we met on the way back to Beijing, and with the tacit understanding of their cooperation during the battle, they are by no means ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, but they seem to have received strict combat training, who is going to kill me? To be able to send such a killer, the person behind this scene must not be an ordinary person. In addition, there is another point, that is, why those assassins didn't dare to directly enter the Ling Mansion to kill me, I still can't figure out the reason for a while, after all, with their skills and tacit understanding, it should be easy to break through the guards of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion led by Wei Chifeng at the gate. Ling Yuxin's brows furrowed even more.
