In the house, Xiao Yuanshan was listening to the shopkeeper under his hand report on the income generation of the industry.

It was not a complete lie for him to say that he was a foreign merchant before, a merchant was another layer of his identity, not only in many cities there were industries he created, but also in imperial cities, but these industries were actually owned by King Cong.

If it weren't for Bai Tang having this plug-in, even with Wei Jiuli's ethereal building, he wouldn't be able to find anything.

After all, a tiger is a tiger, even if it is pulled out of its claws, it does not mean that it is harmless, it can only be slaughtered by others, not to mention that this is just a tiger that has been automatically hiding its claws.

At this moment, a sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, and the next moment a loud sound was heard.

Xiao Yuanshan immediately raised his head and stood up, but there was already a commotion outside.

One of the guards immediately ran up and pulled out a feathered arrow from the door, which was tied with a finger-thick roll of paper.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yuanshan asked in a deep voice.

The guard hurriedly went in and handed over the feather arrow, saying that someone had suddenly shot in the feather arrow just now, and the captain had already led someone to track it down.

Xiao Yuanshan immediately wrinkled his eyebrows, his face was a little daring, and he lowered his eyes to look at the arrow in his hand.

It's a very ordinary arrow, and you don't see any difference.

He raised his hand to remove the paper from the arrow, handed it to the person next to him, and unfolded it.

Just one glance, his face changed suddenly, and then his eyebrows tightened, his face was solemn, but there was confusion and doubt in his eyes.

By this time the captain of the convoy had returned, and reported that no trace of the archers had been found.

"No need to look for it." Xiao Yuanshan closed the paper and crushed it, pursed his lips tightly, waved everyone away, and then returned to the study, thinking for a long time before he picked up the pen and wrote a letter.

In the palace, the Queen Mother took the set day to go to Wei Guojun to discuss the marriage of her grandson and goddaughter, and by the way, she also enlightened Wei Guojun, who began to escape again.

Maybe he wanted to make up for the other party through marriage, or maybe it was the persuasion of the Queen Mother that played a role, Wei Guojun's 'condition' finally improved, at least he didn't have to lie in bed all the time and couldn't get up.

On the same day, he summoned Wei Jiuli again, but this time he did not at least speak through the curtain as before.

The father and son were silent for a long time.

After a while, Wei Guojun finally opened his mouth first.

His voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed to be a little depressed, "You, are you still blaming your father?" Or hate.

This is a topic that he has always avoided, and he used to be even more wary and suspicious of this son because of this, but now he took the initiative to bring it up, not as a king, but simply as a father.

"I want to hear the truth." It's me, not lonely.

Wei Jiuli raised his eyes, his face did not change, but he lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "There used to be." ”

Before......

Wei Guojun was stunned, and then asked, "What about now?" ”

"It's all gone."

There was indeed hatred, resentment, unwillingness, and even wanting to take revenge, but this resentment was not for the sake of the biological mother, but just for himself.

Maybe there is some self-blame mixed in it, the death of the crane owl hit him too hard back then, and it is also a memory that he has always been haunting in his mind, he always thinks that if he had power, strength, or even status, he would not need his father-in-law to pave the way for him and exhaust his life.

This is one of the reasons why he has a split personality.

Obviously, Wei Guojun was also partly angry.

As for the present, with future planning and expectations, with today's happiness and hope, all the unwillingness and resentment in the past seem to be insignificant.

He did let go, as for his biological mother's hatred, he would continue to repay it, and the bento was to repay her life, but no matter how much it was, it was gone, such as the love between father and son.

Wei Guojun looked at him stunned, but he could only see indifference in the other party's eyes.

At this moment, he can be extremely sure that what the other party said is true, everything is over, and he will not hate, but he doesn't care anymore.

The corners of his eyes slowly turned red, and his eyes were hazy, as if he was looking at someone through him.

This son is the only flesh and blood between him and the woman he loves, they have been looking forward to his birth day and night, and even planned his future life for him, preparing a lot of things, wanting him to become the happiest child.

It's a pity that everything was ruined by him.

No wonder who, one wrong step, one wrong step.

Is it really so necessary to marry Mu Liangqing?

Not necessarily, if he didn't get the support of the Rongguo Mansion back then, it would have been more difficult at most, but he was too selfish, and he gave everything back to his lover's concession, and then accepted one woman after another with peace of mind, which may be the real reason for the tragedy.

In the two years after he ascended the throne, he was not unaware of some emotional and psychological problems of his lover, but he kept avoiding it under the pretext of government politics.

If there is no accumulation of these, with her strength, how can she seek death because of a question, her death is not because of that case, but because she is completely dead to him, unwilling to be by his side anymore, unwilling to see him again.

As for him, he once again pushed the responsibility out with peace of mind, and even knew that she was not such a vicious person, but he did not dare to investigate further, which made her a stigma for more than 20 years.

There is also this son, who was also discarded because of his evasion, every time, how many opportunities he has to mend the rift, to mend, to save, but he doesn't, always holding on to that trace of luck and escape.

Who can blame for such a situation now, but his own selfishness and cowardice.

Wei Guojun raised his hand against his forehead, closed his eyes forcefully, and coughed a few times in his throat.

Wei Jiuli looked at him, then raised his hand to pick up the upside-down teacup on the table and poured him a glass of water.

When Wei Guojun saw the glass of water, he immediately looked up in astonishment.

Wei Jiuli had already stood up and said expressionlessly, "My father's body has not healed, so I still have a good time to rest, and my son will leave first." Then he turned and strode away.

Wei Guojun's eyes dimmed again, and his fists clenched unconsciously as he saw his back leaving, his eyes full of pain and remorse.

The next day, Wei Guojun, who had not recovered from his long-term illness, finally went to court.

The first thing Wei Guojun did when he went to court was to issue a holy decree to modify the marriage date between King Li and Bai Tang, and at the same time, Princess Yakaranzhu was arrogant and unpretentious, repeatedly violated the laws of Wei, and doubted the sincerity of the Mongolian alliance.

The envoys of Mongolia were furious, but they did not dare to challenge the other party's monarchy here, otherwise they were afraid that they would not be able to return to Mongolia, so they could only suppress their anger and be sent back to Mongolia.

The second decree was to summon all the princes and their families back to the imperial city to prepare for the New Year's Festival.

The third holy decree, with Bai Tang's merits in the fraud case and the witch case, and then give the fief, and at the same time enjoy the power and status are equal to the princess, after marrying the king of Li, and then enjoy the prince and princess, and at the same time give a lot of gold, silver and jade, etc., including the Grange mansion, and promoted to the Tai Hospital judgment, is the fourth product, and then give the palace walking order.

The fourth holy decree pointed out many large and small crimes of Lu Guogong and his children, but because they were not serious crimes, they were all deducted and transferred in the end.

For example, two of Lu Guogong's sons and one grandson in the court were transferred to remote places.

Lu Guogong knew that it was Wei Guojun who was beating them, so he didn't dare to do anything unusual, and took the order directly, but the haze on his face couldn't be covered, and he gritted his teeth at Bai Tang again, but he was helpless.

Now that the Lu Guogong Mansion is declining day by day, and they have lost an in-law like Duanyanghou, Bai Tang is not something they can easily pry now, and in the end, they can only grit their teeth and swallow blood.

The reward for Bai Tang, in the eyes of all civil and military officials, is not Wei Guojun showing his attitude, and now it seems that King Li is only missing a holy decree from the position of crown prince, and I am afraid that this holy decree will appear soon.

Many people are in a heavy mood, including those who wanted to stand on the throne of King Li but have not been fruitful.

They couldn't figure out King Li's thoughts and plans, so they couldn't figure out whether King Li's ascension to the throne was good or not.

However, thinking that the princes were all recalled to the palace, it was also an opportunity, so we could only wait for the time to discuss it.

The fifth decree was to order the Ministry of Rites to immediately prepare for the New Year and the marriage between the lord of Yutang and the king of Li.

Because of Concubine Xian's case, the court has been suppressed for a long time, and everyone did not dare to touch the king's brows at this time, so they naturally hurriedly prepared in full swing.

On the same day, the notice was sent to various places, roughly some of the graces of this year's New Year's Festival.

After seeing the notice, the people of the imperial city also began to be lively in preparing for the New Year's Festival.

There have been too many things happening in the Imperial City this year, and recently there have been more witchcraft cases and fraud cases of the virtuous concubines, and the Imperial City has been in a tense atmosphere, and many people have forgotten that the New Year is approaching, and even if they remember, they don't dare to be too high-profile and wantonly to do it, for fear of accidentally being pulled into pigtails.

Wei Guojun was finally able to go to court, and Wei Jiuli naturally resigned from his post as a prisoner and took a ten-day leave.

Wei Guojun didn't ask the reason, and directly agreed.

Three days later, Wei Jiuli finally received a reply, and then left the palace and went to Jingtai Tower to meet someone.

This man is King Cong.

King Cong sat at the table with a box in his hand, and his eyes were always on the box, not knowing what he was thinking.

His face was very pale, and there was a bit of gray in the paleness, and he was obviously thin and weak, but his momentum remained the same, and his eyes were still sharp, so that people always ignored his appearance.

It was only when there was a knock at the door that he came back to his senses and turned to look at the door.

The attendant had already gone over and opened the door, invited the people outside the door in, and then exited the room and closed the door at the signal of King Cong.

Wei Jiuli looked at the other party, looked at it a little, and confirmed that what Bai Tang said was correct, and the other party was afraid that time was really running out.

"Sit." King Cong made a gesture for him to take a seat.

Wei Jiuli walked over and sat down across from him.

"The prince is really worthy of the order of the god of war." Wei Jiuli raised his hand to block the wine jug in the other party's hand, and said lightly.

King Cong was not annoyed, calmly took back the wine jug and put it down, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to find out about me so quickly, but I underestimated you." ”

Wei Jiuli didn't say anything, just looked at him with heavy eyes.

King Cong smiled, then sighed, raised his hand and pressed the small box in his hand, and pushed it in front of Wei Jiuli.

"This is what your mother left you." As he spoke, looking at Wei Jiuli's gaze was also a little complicated.

Wei Jiuli just glanced at the box, but did not open it, and there was no trace of emotional change in his eyes.

King Cong kept staring at him, naturally taking everything in his eyes, and his thin lips pursed unconsciously.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Don't hate her, there are many things you don't know, and she is the biggest victim." ”

Wei Jiuli's eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was a little impatience in his eyes, as if he didn't want to hear him say this, but said in a deep voice, "The prince is not in charge of anyone else now." ”

King Cong looked stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

"What do you want to know?"

"Shouldn't it be the prince who explains?" Wei Jiuli had a little sneer on his face.

King Cong fell into a brief silence again.

After a while, he said, "I don't know how much you found and what you found, but everything I did had nothing to do with power and status, I just wanted to avenge her and get justice for her." ”

"The prince is infatuated." A sneer tugged at the corner of Wei Jiuli's mouth, and his eyes were cold and sarcastic when he looked at him.

King Cong clenched his fists unconsciously, how could he not see what was expressed in the other party's eyes.

He closed his eyes in pain, and only opened them after a while, looking at each other with complicated eyes, his eyes seemed to be depressed, painful, and a trace of guilt, he said, "I'm sorry......"

He confessed one thing to him first.

In fact, Luo Shuiyue thought about leaving the palace back then.

Before Wei Guojun ascended the throne, she could also accompany him to fight everywhere, assist him in fighting the world, or numb herself with busyness, or deceive herself.

And when the other party is stable and successfully ascends the throne, she also enters the harem, and all the contradictions begin.

Seeing the newcomers being sent into the palace one by one, it was like a knife in the flesh of her heart, she knew that the other party needed to use these women to balance the government and the opposition and stabilize the situation, but as a woman, she couldn't accept that she would have to serve a man with so many women in the future, especially in those two years, she could only stay alone in the empty room for many nights, and sometimes she couldn't see each other for a long time.

At that time, King Cong also went to her secretly many times, and as her listener, he would sometimes implicitly hint that she should leave here.

It's just that Luo Shuiyue loves Wei Guojun too much, and she has always been reluctant and can't let go until she is pregnant.

After being pregnant, Concubine Xian's body became weaker and weaker, and the imperial doctor said that she was losing money in her early years, but in fact, it was more due to heart disease and excessive worry.

Probably because of having children, some of her thoughts have also changed.

In the fifth month of her pregnancy, she found King Cong one day and asked him to help him cooperate with her plan, help him secretly take the child away on the day she gave birth, and then she found an opportunity to fake her death because she was overstimulated by the loss of the child.

King Cong was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and he was even ready to find an excuse to send the child to his fiefdom when the time came, and then bring the other party to the fiefdom to find a way to keep her.

It's just that plans never catch up with change.

The witch case appeared, and Concubine Xian was involved in this turmoil.

But in fact, King Cong had already found out some things and had a lot of evidence in the witch Gu case back then, but he didn't immediately stand up to clear his grievances for Concubine Xian, he was waiting, waiting for the contradictions between their husbands and wives to expand, so that Concubine Xian would completely die to Wei Guojun.

It's just that he didn't expect that Concubine Xian would die because of this. Take a look at the latest chapter of "NPC in Ancient Times: Love at Doctor's Sight, Rely on Your Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
