Chapter 141: It's all under control

The purse was taken out, and everyone present looked at it in unison.

Wei Ruyi unhurriedly opened the purse, took out the contents as they were, and presented it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, when Princess Rui invited the courtiers to come out, she gave this purse to the courtiers, and asked the courtiers to keep it for her, and told the courtiers to hide it and then separated from the courtiers." After that, the courtiers were called by this little father-in-law and told the news of Princess Rui's death. ”

The emperor looked at the evidence presented, not much, two letters, one was written by someone else to Qi Zheng, which detailed how to plan to kill Wei Ruyi, and the other was Qi Zheng's own handwriting, which wrote in more detail her resentment against Wei Ruyi and how she conspired with others.

After reading the letter, the emperor had an indescribable feeling, a little angry after being deceived, but more because he boasted that he had seen countless people, and he couldn't see through his favorite daughter.

Zhuohua looked at the emperor in amazement, and his heart was clear, and Qi Zheng kept his hand.

Although she was afraid, she still reluctantly calmed down and said, "Father, the son doesn't know who he offended, but if the father is unwilling to believe the son, the son is willing to accept the punishment." ”

The Emperor looked at her, he thought he knew this daughter, he had been close to him since he was a child, and he was intelligent.

He didn't care about Zhuohua, he just looked at Wei Ruyi with a calm face: "Then how do you explain the evidence here?" Two letters, not enough to prove anything. ”

"This jade bottle, the courtiers have sent out a lot, as for the poison in it, I think that Princess Rui will not be so stupid that the courtiers will feed her and she will drink it obediently, and she will inevitably struggle, but there are no traces of scratches on the courtiers." Wei Ruyi knew that the emperor still wanted to protect Zhuohua, so he only calmly stretched out his clean hands.

Zhuohua also saw the emperor's partiality, and said, "Princess Rui has always been at odds with you, how could she suddenly give you this thing?" And after handing it over to you, she died, and the evidence that killed her points to you, is it too much of a coincidence? ”

"It's not a coincidence." Wei Ruyi smiled lightly: "Because someone changed the evidence." After speaking, he knelt down and moved to Qi Zheng's side, pointing to Qi Zheng's hand that had not yet been dealt with by this group of careless eunuchs: "Your Majesty, look at it, there are still a few silk threads in Princess Rui's fingernails, which were obviously grabbed and pulled down before she died, although the silk threads are stained with blood, you can still distinguish the silk threads that are peach blossom pollen." After speaking, Wei Ruyi turned his head to look at Zhuohua: "Ruyi remembers that the princess was still wearing a peach-colored palace skirt before, why did she change to an aqua blue one now?" ”

"I accidentally got dirty." Zhuohua didn't expect Wei Ruyi to find out, paused, and was stunned to understand that when she killed Qi Zheng at that time, Wei Ruyi must have been hiding in the dark to watch!

Her eyebrows were twisted, but Wei Ruyi looked at the emperor and said, "If it weren't for Princess Zhuohua, the emperor would now ask someone to find the clothes that the princess had changed out of to take a closer look, but it would probably ...... It's already burned. "After all, if there is some staining on the clothes, sending it to the Huanyi Bureau will definitely arouse suspicion, so according to Zhuohua's character, he must be called to deal with it as soon as he is replaced.

Zhuohua's face was slightly pale, and his fingers tightly grasped the corners of his clothes.

The emperor was also angry, he couldn't imagine that the result was really like this.

"Someone, go search." The emperor finally spoke, there are so many pairs of eyes staring here, and Qi Zheng is not just a little girl, she is his daughter-in-law. Not to mention this matter, please also involve Roujia.

Zhuohua heard the emperor's words, and the straight body that had been kneeling finally softened, her mind turned quickly, her father was not a soft-hearted person, if he found out that he really killed Qi Zheng and Concubine Liu, then the father would definitely not spare himself.

And there is also the poisoning of Concubine Xian......

The prince saw Zhuohua's state at the top, and then looked at Jiang Di on the side, only that Lou Yan was really calculating, and he seemed to be unfazed, but in fact, he saw all their plans in his eyes, and he even thought, who would calculate a person like Lou Yan? He was really looking forward to seeing that day.

The people sent out by Gonggong Gao before have also come back now, and when they entered the main hall, they said, "Your Majesty, the inquiry has come out." ”

The hearts of the entire hall were slightly raised.

The emperor's face was tired: "Say." ”

"There is a palace maid in the palace of the concubine Niangniang who has confessed, she has received the benefits of Princess Zhuohua, and when the concubine Niangniang is busy holding a birthday banquet for you today, she quietly broke away and took the sword and dagger of the concubine Niangniang out, as for who transported the corpse in, no one has admitted it yet, but when the slave maid went, two palace maids committed suicide."

The emperor's clenched hands had begun to tremble, but Zhuohua, who had been calm, panicked: "Father, the son has never assigned anyone to steal the things of the noble concubine, please ask the father to take a clear look!" "She has indeed never done this, the dagger and the sword were all quietly taken out before, and today someone suddenly admitted that it was assigned by herself, and it was clearly fake, it must have been Rou Jia who knew her plan for a long time and arranged it on purpose!

She looked at Roujia, and Roujia's expression was always faint, and she didn't even look at her.

The emperor didn't say anything, Jiang Di saw the situation here and planned to withdraw quietly, but the crown prince said: "What's wrong with the fourth emperor brother, where are you going?" ”

A trace of gloom flashed in Jiang Di's eyes, and he only said: "The younger brother just saw that his father's complexion was not very good, and he wanted to invite the imperial doctor." ”

"It's still the Fourth Emperor Brother who is careful, but where does such a trivial matter require the Fourth Emperor Brother to come out in person." After the prince finished speaking, he directly ordered the little eunuch next to him to go out.

The emperor glanced at Jiang Di coldly and looked at Zhuohua: "According to your meaning, the poisoning of Concubine Xian was also framed by them?" ”

Jiang Yan immediately walked out: "Father, the mother concubine is in danger now, and there is still no sign of waking up, the son is willing to suffer such pain and torture, and he will never bear to be like this." ”

Jiang Yan was the emperor's only consolation: "I understand you." After speaking, he only stared at Zhuohua: "Where did I treat you poorly, and you want to be so cruel to my concubines?" ”

Zhuohua slammed his head on the ground with red eyes: "Please also ask my father to be clear, my son will never do such an evil thing!" ”

After saying that, the little eunuch who had just gone out also came back, and he also brought back a bunch of half-burned palace skirts.

Yu Guiren saw that the matter had come to this point, only the last straw was left, and he knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, do you believe in the concubine, if it weren't for Princess Zhuohua's life, how dare the concubine help her take the killer to Concubine Liu's palace and let Concubine Liu die a tragic death." If the emperor wants to punish the concubines, the concubines will also admit it, and only ask the emperor to see it, and don't be soft-hearted and spare this murderous demon. ”

Yu Guiren knew very well in his heart that the emperor was angry that he was an accomplice, and he would not ask for his own life for the sake of serving him for many years, at most he would enter the cold palace. But if the throne is Jiang Yan's in the future, then Rouyi will have to take herself out sooner or later, and this deal is very cost-effective.

"Nobleman, you and I have no grievances, why do you wronged me so much?" Zhuohua asked her with red eyes, but Yu Guiren didn't fight with her, just blindly begged the emperor, and after following the emperor for so many years, she still knew very well what kind of personality and temperament he had.

The emperor's face turned slightly blue, but all the evidence was in front of him.

Rou Jia saw that the emperor was still hesitating, and her heart was cold, and she knelt down and said: "If the emperor can't bear to hurt the princess, and ask the emperor to allow the concubine to move to the Zhaowang Mansion, at least send the concubine one last ride." ”

"Father, son-in-law is really ......"

"You're still hard-mouthed!" The Emperor shouted angrily.

Zhuohua's body trembled slightly, like a falling willow leaf, and he lost his strength.

The emperor looked at her angrily, his teeth were clenched, Jiang Di looked at it, and did not come out to plead, if he came out, it would be even more in Jiang Yan's arms, and his father would definitely deal with him together.

"Come on, pull Zhuohua down to me......"

Just when the emperor was ruthlessly preparing to dispose of Zhuohua, the palace maid who had been following Zhuohua suddenly knelt down and cried: "Princess, it's all to blame on the slave maid, the slave maid arranged this in your name in private because the slave and maid hated them." I didn't expect it to affect you in the end, and the slave deserves death. After speaking, he took out the hairpin on his head and stabbed it into his heart, Jiang Yan didn't have time to stop it.

Wei Ruyi's eyebrows twisted slightly, and immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Luzi, the eunuch who mainly testified, Xiao Luzi also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhuohua: "Princess, it's the minions who can't get used to Concubine Liu and Concubine Xian Niangniang who have been using you, so they are ruthless, as for Princess Rui, she is insatiable, and she deserves to die, blame the minions for using their names to do things, and the minions should be damned!" After saying that, he was about to hit the pillar, but this time he was stopped by Jiang Yan, but Xiao Luzi understood that today's sin was born, if he didn't die, the next thing was that life was better than death.

His heart was crossed, and as soon as Wei Ruyi shouted the word 'bad', he had already bitten off his tongue and fell to the ground.

Such a tragic suicide made the atmosphere of the entire hall even colder, and even Zhuohua herself didn't expect that she would be so loyal as a subordinate who had been called by dogs.

After reacting, she immediately looked at the emperor with teary eyes, but the emperor only looked at her deeply: "Do you think I don't understand anything?" ”

"Father's ......"

"But after all, you are my blood and blood, my favorite daughter. Now that a great mistake has been made, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be tolerated. Come, from today, the title of Princess Zhuohua will be removed, demoted to a commoner, and the marriage between Zhuohua and Prince Fusang will be dissolved. ”

"The emperor's ......" Rou Jia was obviously dissatisfied, killed two people, and the virtuous concubine was also in danger, but only two subordinates died, and they were demoted to commoners!

The emperor was also dissatisfied with her reluctance, Wei Ruyi quietly pulled Roujia's sleeve on the side, but Roujia only laughed lightly: "The concubine thinks that this punishment is too heavy, Zhuohua is your blood and blood, if you are demoted to the common people and driven out of the palace, it will be difficult for her daughter to move an inch, even so, the emperor might as well give Zhuohua another marriage, not only to punish it, but not to let Zhuohua go outside." ”

The emperor's eyebrows twisted slightly, but Zhuohua realized that something was wrong, and it was impossible for Rou Jia to help him.

Rou Jia saw that the emperor was silent, and then said: "The concubine thinks that Yun Shangshu's family is very good, the official position will not be too high, Zhuohua will marry in the past, as a wife, and will not lose the royal system, even if it is degraded to a commoner, but the royal bloodline, how can it be tarnished." ”

Yun Shangshu?

Jiang Di's face was slightly pale, Yun Shangshu had only one son, Yun Mian, but everyone knew that Yun Mian was already a eunuch, wouldn't it be an insult to let Zhuo Hua marry her?

"Father, the son thinks it's inappropriate." Jiang Di said directly.

Rou Jia sarcastically said: "What if King Xiao thinks it's inappropriate? Could it be that you have a more suitable candidate? ”

Jiang Di's face was slightly pale: "Niangniang, Yun Mian, the eldest son of Yun Shangshu, is already a rootless person, no different from a eunuch......

"Otherwise, why is this a punishment for Zhuohua? Concubine Xian has raised her for more than ten years, she can do it, Princess Rui is her imperial sister-in-law, Concubine Liu was also very close to her before, but she was poisoned by her, she is such a person who does not recognize her six relatives, King Xiao thinks there is still a need to leave descendants? Rou Jia slammed him in the face with sarcasm one by one.

The emperor felt that Rou Jia seemed to be sarcastic about himself, but Zhuo Hua was indeed too ruthless.

Jiang Di also had to argue: "Those things are clearly the people under her hands......"

"Gong Zhuohua has always had a set of subordinates, saying that his subordinates dare to murder so many masters without her, King Xiao, do you believe it?" The prince asked Jiang Di.

Jiang Di saw that the crown prince was going to drag him in, even if he wanted to protect Zhuohua, he slowly calmed down, and only said to the emperor: "Everything is still up to the father, even if Zhuohua is demoted to a commoner, it is still the royal bloodline......"

"Yes, so you can't live among the people, and you can't just find a low-level person to marry, but now the official eunuchs, marrying such a princess in the past, won't the ministers feel that the emperor is deliberately punishing them?" Roujia asked him-for-tat.

Jiang Di was about to grit his teeth, and seeing that the emperor was also starting to be dissatisfied with him, Zhuo Hua stepped forward and said, "Father, the emperor...... Your Majesty, the daughter of the people is willing to marry. "She can't let them drag the royal brother in again.

Rou Jia went to see the emperor at this time, and the emperor didn't seem to want to do this, but Rou Jia had a posture that there must be a result, which made him angry and helpless, not to mention that Jiang Yan was watching from the sidelines, and it was his mother who was hurt......

"In that case, do as the concubine says." After speaking, with a wave of his big hand, as if he didn't want to see Zhuohua again, he asked someone to take her down, and the corpse in the room was also carried down.

King Lian, who had been hiding, took a look and mustered up the courage to come out: "Father, the emperor ......"

"Do you want to accuse me of being unfair!" The emperor asked him angrily, and King Lian immediately knelt down in fright and trembled: "No, no...... Erchen just felt that he was stupid, and two days later, in the sacrificial hall, Erchen was really embarrassed, and asked his father to choose another candidate. ”

"You ——!" The emperor was so angry that he wanted to vomit his studies, he chose King Lian, just because he was worried that the prince and Jiang Yan would fight directly, but he was good, and said in front of everyone that he was unwilling to do this job!

"Father, please change your sons." King Lian said timidly.

The emperor wanted to kick him out: "You are really my good son!" After speaking, he looked at the prince and Jiang Yan on the side, and finally said: "The ceremony is coming, if you don't want to do it, then don't do it, go back and drink your wine." Two days later, ......he pondered for a while, swept around the room, and finally said in a deep voice: "The crown prince will preside, and King Zhao will assist you, and you will complete the sacrificial ceremony together." After speaking, he helped Gao Gonggong's body to get up, but halfway through, he sat down again.

"Father's ——!"

Everyone spoke out in unison, the emperor secretly sighed, grabbed Gao Gonggong's hand and finally stood up, looked at Rou Jia who was kneeling under his eyes dissatisfied, and left without saying a word with a black face.

After he left, Jiang Di glanced at Jiang Yan coldly and left quickly.

Chen Yansleeve hurriedly came over to help Wei Ruyi up: "Are you okay, is the child okay?" ”

"I'm fine, I took the fetal pill when I came." After Wei Ruyi finished speaking, he saw Rou Jia, who also got up, and saw that she was not very happy, so she stepped forward and comforted softly: "Niangniang is also tired today, so it's better to take a good rest first." ”

"I'm fine, and now I know exactly what I'm going to suffer." Rou Jia squeezed out a light smile: "You go back with your sleeves first, you don't need to worry about the affairs in the palace." She knows very well that after today, the emperor will no longer trust her, but it doesn't matter, if she solves a traitor like Zhuohua who gets in the way everywhere, the harem will be too peaceful.

As for the emperor, his body can't last long.

The crown prince walked to Jiang Yan's side with an inexplicable smile and looked at him: "I can't imagine that such a downright person as the Seventh Emperor Brother can also set up such a strategy." ”

"The royal brother has an overreputation." Jiang Yan didn't deny anything, he knew that even if he denied it, the prince wouldn't believe it.

Seeing him so detached, the prince felt a trace of unspeakable discomfort in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he only turned his eyes to look at Wei Ruyi, if she didn't come up with evidence today, nothing would happen, after all, Lou Yan's plan was already rare to be willing to take her out as bait, how could she really let her have an accident?

Wei Ru saw him staring at him, lowered his eyebrows and saluted.

The prince glanced at her indifferently before leaving.

When the prince left, Wei Ruyi also left the palace with Chen Yansleeve, and if he stayed in the palace for a while, there might be variables, after all, today's emperor obviously wanted to detain her, if he wasn't too angry because of Zhuohua's affairs later, he might still find a reason to stop himself.

Out of the palace gate, Jiang Yan glanced at the Chen family who greeted him, and his footsteps stopped slightly.

"Sleeve, come back to the palace with me, the mother is awake and wants to see you." He still couldn't say that he missed her.

Chen Yansleeve was happy when he heard that Concubine Xian had woken up, but when he looked at Jiang Yan, he still looked detached, and said, "It's not early now, and when the concubine arrives at King Zhao's Mansion, it's dark." The prince will go back first, and the concubine will wait for tomorrow morning to pass. ”

When Jiang Yan heard this, he looked at her, and finally nodded sullenly.

Wei Ruyi looked at them like this, she was about to die of depression, and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, what's the matter, if my sister is late today, isn't there a room for my sister in the palace?" ”

Jiang Yan's footsteps paused slightly, Chen Yan's sleeve eyes were slightly wet, but he was afraid that Jiang Yan would find out, so he immediately grabbed Wei Ruyi and signaled her not to say any more.

Wei Ruyi only smiled: "Sister too, although His Royal Highness King Zhao asked you to go back to Chen Mansion to live temporarily, he didn't let you live in Chen Mansion for the rest of your life, did he?" You are Princess Zhao, if you don't go back to the palace for a long time, outsiders will guess whether you want to reconcile with Your Highness. ”

As soon as the word Heli came out, Chen Yansleeve and Jiang Yan were shocked, and said in unison: "Of course not!" ”

When the words fell, the two glanced at each other, and all the frost melted away in the suppressed emotions under each other's eyes.

Jiang Yan looked at Chen Yan's moist eyes, all the stubbornness was gone, and he stepped forward and said: "Sleeve, the concubine wants to see you, Wutong Courtyard is not you, I will also stay in the study overnight, go back today, and stay in the palace." ”

Chen Yansleeve is heartwarmed, marrying him and being a wife, before Yu Rouyi's incident, he was always considerate and gentle, but now when she heard his words, she still relented.

"Does the prince really believe in concubines?" Chen Yansleeve asked him.

"There used to be suspicions...... But in the future, I promise, I will always trust you. Jiang Yan said softly.

Chen Yansleeve listened to his oath and finally laughed.

Wei Ruyi listened to their words, although he was numb, but fortunately, the matter between them was also resolved because of the successful completion of the plan in the palace today, and his heart was a little relieved.

Yun Shangshu's family education is very strict, Zhuohua is now demoted to a commoner, and he wants to marry Yun Mian, I am afraid that if he has the heart to toss again, he will be powerless.

Watching Chen Yansleeve and Jiang Yan leave, Wei Ruyi lowered his eyes and touched his flat lower abdomen, smiled, got into the carriage and went to the National Teacher's Mansion.

Jiang Di came out first, so he had already returned to King Xiao's Mansion at this time.

When he arrived at the house, he went straight to the secret room of the study, but when the door of the secret room opened, he found that it was empty.

"What about people!" He drank.

"Lord Wang, who is it?" The little guy came in and asked with a confused expression.

Jiang Di gritted his teeth, but when he saw that everything here was still there, he knew that the old woman could not have left by herself, she must have been kidnapped by someone, just like when she kidnapped Lou Ruo unconsciously. Could it be Lou Yan!

"Someone, prepare a horse for this king immediately." Jiang Di scolded.

"Yes, where is the prince going?"

Jiang Di's face was dark: "National Teacher's Mansion!" He has always felt that his plan is foolproof, and he has never thought of where the mistakes are, but now it seems that it is only because Lou Yan and Jiang Yan deliberately created a foolproof illusion for him, so that he walked into their trap step by step, and now he has no hope for the sacrificial ceremony, not to mention, Zhuohua has also lost it, and the matter with Fusang will no longer have a chance to ease!

On his way to the National Teacher's Mansion, Lou Yan was actually waiting for him for a long time, but before he came, he had to ask the person in front of him first.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, and he has been looking for you." Lou Yan sat cross-legged in the warm pavilion near the lake, burning incense and cooking tea, the second master also sat aside, and Mu Yun led people to guard outsiders, and no one was allowed to approach.

When the words fell, the woman with the black cloak only smiled lightly: "Looking for me, isn't it because you know that he won't live long and want me to save him?" ”

"You're still haunted by that incident, aren't you?" The second master asked her, and the gaze that looked at her was also extremely complicated.

"It's just a small thing, why should I bother with it?" The woman asked them, but her eyes never looked at them, but at the lake outside the window, the surface of which was covered with a thin layer of ice, and the snow fell on it, which seemed extremely desolate, and her gaze was more desolate than the scenery.

"Shizun wants to see you, and he went to Daqi. Maybe you won't survive this winter, if you want to see him for the last time, go to Daqi. After speaking, she pushed over a piece of paper with an address written on it, but the woman only smiled sarcastically, crumpled the fruit paper into a ball and threw it into the lake outside the window: "Why do you need to see him, Xiao Yan, are you worried that I will thwart your plan?" ”

Lou Yan looked at her lightly, but she only smiled disdainfully: "Your plan has nothing to do with me, I'm just using King Xiao, you don't have to worry about what I want to do." ”

"Mei'er!"

"Shut up, you are not allowed to shout this name!" The woman shouted uncontrollably, her voice hoarse and full of sadness, but the next second she calmed down again, sarcastically mocking the second master: "Who do you think you are?" ”

The second master lowered his head in some panic, his eyes full of confusion.

When the words fell, someone outside came with news that Jiang Di's carriage had arrived.

After speaking, the woman had already stood up and stared at Lou Yan: "I knew that you would come to me while he entered the palace, I came today, just to tell you, if you want me to save you, it's okay, Wei Ruyi is dead, I will save you, your poison is under me, and only I can solve it in this world." After that, he stepped away and left, Mu Yun still wanted to stop him, but Lou Yan only said softly: "Let her go." ”

Only then did Mu Yun turn sideways.

The woman looked at Mu Yun, smiled lightly, raised her voice and said to Lou Yan: "Your current state, you can live for a year at most, and you may not even see the child born, and the frequency of poison will become higher and higher as before, after three times, I won't be able to save you." You have to think clearly, sacrifice one Wei Ruyi, and you can live. ”

"I'm not going to do that." Lou Yan refused, but only received a sneer from her: "Didn't your master do it back then, so what's the harm if you learn from him?" ”

After speaking, Jiang Di had already come over, and the woman glanced at him who broke in in embarrassment, and knew that the plan in the palace had failed without asking.

She walked away, and when she passed by Jiang Di, she didn't say a word, as if Jiang Di was just a lackey in her eyes.

But all the way to the gate of the mansion, he just bumped into Wei Ruyi, who was letting the carriage run slowly.

Wei Ruyi was still talking to Zhiyu about what she wanted to eat at night, and when she came down, she took a look at her, but when she saw her face, she was stunned, and she didn't recognize it at a glance, she only felt that these eyes were like, but this face was ......

Seeing her stunned appearance, the woman's palms tightened slightly, and she turned her head and quickened her pace to leave, but she could hear her ask behind her back, "Auntie, is it you?" ”

Her face sank slightly, she didn't reply, she helped Jiang Di's hand to get into the carriage and left.

Wei Ru didn't say anything about her, and muttered again, she must have seen it wrong, and it was clear that she hadn't met her aunt in her life. But speaking of which, when did she meet her aunt in her previous life, it seems that she took a fancy to Brother Shangyan, and her aunt appeared mysteriously like that and helped her with advice, and she also trusted her aunt very much.

Thinking about it, she continued to talk to Zhiyu about the sweet and sour pork ribs that she hadn't finished discussing.

Jiang Di sat in the carriage and glanced at her, whose eyes were deep and her mood was also extremely low: "Why does Wei Ruyi call you aunt?" ”

"She recognized the wrong person."

"Yes, but this king thinks that you don't seem to be the same to her, although you keep shouting to kill her, but your methods are only used on Lou Yan." Jiang Di became suspicious of her identity and her purpose for approaching him.

"Are you going to get rid of me, then?"

"Nature is not ......"

"Then shut up." The woman gave him a cold look, and then remembered her own affairs with a calm face.

Jiang Di is used to her not giving face, and now that Zhuohua has an accident, the power he can use is very limited, and he can't drive her away.

The matter of the sacrificial ceremony was decided in this way, Yun Shangshu was originally the busiest time because of the sacrificial ceremony recently, since the last time he exposed Princess Ping, he was faintly aware of the emperor's dissatisfaction with him, so this time he was 100,000 careful, for fear that if something went wrong, the emperor would catch the tail and take the opportunity to dispose of him, but he didn't expect that the emperor would give him such a daughter-in-law.

Yun Mian also panicked: "Father, what do you mean by what do you say the emperor does, knowing that his son has ...... actually gave a princess who was degraded to the common people. ”

"Can you refuse it? I heard that it was given by the concubine at the request of the concubine, since Zhuohua has been demoted to a commoner, then she is a commoner, and she is married, as long as you don't let her go out of the mansion and toss out the moth, do whatever you want in the mansion, don't die. Yun Shangshu said impatiently, she had also heard about the things in the palace, if it was true, then Zhuohua was not a vegetarian, and when he really came to Shangshu Mansion, he couldn't let her toss like this anymore.

Yun Mian saw that his father had spoken, so he didn't worry, but Zhuohua was still a little interested, after all, she used to be such a princess who was so high in the ice and jade, and in the end, she actually gave it to someone like herself who was incomplete.

As soon as the news came, the people in the capital had a lot to talk about, but the Runan Mansion and the Liu Mansion, which had not moved for a long time, were restless for a while.

Princess Runan cried to death, and hated Zhuohua to the bones, but King Runan seemed to have been locked up for a long time, and his will was all worn out, and he played with his concubine in the backyard all day long, and even Qi Zheng died, he was just sad for a while, and then went to drink and eat meat again.

Princess Runan couldn't cry herself, and when Qi Huang came, seeing her like this, she finally had a way to kill another Qi Huang smoothly.

"Zheng'er died innocently, but Zhuohua can still marry beautifully, which is really unfair to God."

"What kind of injustice, my kite, she is so pitiful...... Get married, Zhuohua still wants to get married? Princess Runan's eyes rolled, and an idea immediately came to mind. If she dares to kill her daughter like this, she will never let Zhuohua feel better, and what about the princess, now she is just a commoner who wants to marry a eunuch!

Thinking of this, Princess Runan stopped crying, and after asking someone to pack up her things, she went to King Rui's mansion. Now that her own daughter is dead, the emperor has decreed that they can be allowed to leave the palace.

Because of the arrival of the sacrificial ceremony, whether it was a funeral or a happy event, all stopped, and Wei Ruyi was also anxiously waiting for this day.

The sacrificial ceremony was held in Ciyun Temple, all civil and military officials knelt on both sides, on the high altar, the prince was dressed in a black robe, and Jiang Yan was followed by a plain black robe, holding a long incense stick, waiting for the presiding master of Ciyun Temple to finish chanting.

The people all knelt outside the Tsz Yun Temple, in the snowy weather, the sandalwood curled, and the sound of Sanskrit sound made the entire Tsz Yun Temple show a peaceful atmosphere, except for those who were mixed in the people with murderous faces.

Wei Ruyi and Chen Yansleeve were all in the apse, and their hearts were slightly mentioned, if the memory is good, it was King Xuan who was not dead and favored at the sacrificial ceremony that year, and King Xuan died in this assassination.

So now, will the crown prince die? Brother Yan must have prepared with Jiang Yan in advance, but Jiang Di is getting more and more crazy now, this time he doesn't know what plans he will make, and the disfigured woman the day before yesterday......

"Ruyi, you're here."

Hu Qingwei's voice came, and Wei Ruyi turned sideways and saw her who came with Mrs. Hu and Princess Jiang, and saluted with Chen Yansleeve with a smile.

Mrs. Hu has always smiled gently, although she still looks a little cautious, but it is much better, Princess Jiang is still so elegant and calm, seeing her, she pulled and asked: "Suddenly I was pregnant with a child, can I still adapt?" ”

"This kid is also very well-behaved for some reason." Wei Ruyi thought of the child who was lost by Zhuohua in her previous life, and raised her hand to gently caress her lower abdomen, maybe this is still the same child, so well-behaved, so knowing and understanding her.

Princess Jiang smiled and said to her: "I think when I was pregnant with a child, I vomited all day and night, and it didn't get better until six or seven months." ”

Wei Ruyi slowly listened to her share the past with herself, and she was not so worried about today's events.

After a while, Zhiyu came from outside, holding a pastry in his hand, and quietly nodded to Wei Ruyi.

Wei Ruyi knew that she was signaling to Mother Xie that everything was ready, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the ceremony outside had come to an end, Wei Ruyi pulled Chen Yansleeve and Hu Qingwei and said: "I heard that there is a plum forest in the west of the temple, and now this is the time to enjoy the plum blossoms, let's go and take a look." ”

"It's too cold outside, and the ceremony isn't over yet, so we can't get out." Hu Qingwei said, Chen Yansleeve glanced at Wei Ruyi, from the moment she entered Ciyun Temple, she was faintly aware of her nervousness, and seeing that she was now proposing to go out, she said, "I'll go and ask, maybe I can go out." ”

After speaking, he went to the door, talked to the guards who were guarding, and then walked back, and said with a smile: "You can go, but you can't go far." ”

"Then let's go now, it just so happened that Zhiyu brought food, let's talk while appreciating the plums." After speaking, he looked at Princess Jiang and Mrs. Hu and said with a smile: "Let's go together." ”

Although Mrs. Hu prefers to be quiet, seeing Wei Ruyi's warm invitation, Princess Jiang also nodded, and then nodded, and the group went in the direction of Merlin.

On the way, Chen Yansleeve kept looking for an opportunity to ask Wei Ruyi if something had happened, but he heard a noise in front of him.

"Mu Ying, go take a look." Wei Ruyi said immediately.

"Yes." Mu Ying had already prepared, jumped quickly, and came back with a knife after a while: "There are mountain bandits who have surrounded the entire mountain. ”

"How is that possible!" Princess Jiang frowned: "The area around Ciyun Temple has long been cleared of bandits, where are the bandits from who are so rampant and dare to come while the sacrifice ceremony?" ”

"Princess, hide with me first, I know ......" Before Wei Ruyi finished speaking, Princess Jiang said: "You guys hide first, I'll take a look." She didn't worry about her son and Jiang Wangye, Wei Ruyi had to say it again, there was already a sound of fighting, and the big hall not far from them was obviously going towards them.

Seeing that Princess Jiang had already left with someone, Wei Ruyi couldn't, so she had to pull Hu Qingwei and Chen Yansleeve and hurry to the secret room where Princess Ping had taken her before.

Running and running, Mrs. Hu fell to the ground weakly because she was too scared.

"Mother!" Hu Qingwei hurriedly went to help her, but Mrs. Hu's whole face turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "Mrs. Guoshi, Princess Zhao, you take Qingwei away first, I'm fine......"

"If my mother doesn't leave, I won't leave!" Hu Qingwei's eyes were slightly red, and he only said to Wei Ruyi: "You go first......"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yansleeve stepped forward and carried Mrs. Hu on his back.

Mrs. Hu is a vegetarian all year round and has a very light body, although she is also a woman, but she has been on the battlefield for many years, and her strength is not comparable to ordinary women.

"Don't be stunned, let's go!" Chen Yansleeve said busily.

Everyone didn't dare to delay, and immediately followed Wei Ruyi forward.

When he was approaching the secret room, Mother Xie had already come to greet him, and there was no sound in the dense forest, Wei Ruyi led people into the secret room, and took the dead leaves prepared in the morning to cover the hole entrance, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ruyi, what the hell is going on?" Chen Yansleeve asked her, and her intuition told her that Ruyi must know.

"Shhhh......h

After a while, there was a shout: "Princess? Princess Zhao? ”

Chen Yansleeve frowned, she came out today, only brought a maid ring between the flowers, although Jiang Yan brought someone, but now she must be trapped in the front hall where the sacrificial ceremony is located, it is impossible to come over so quickly.

After waiting for a long time, the people outside finally left, and Hu Qingwei was just about to speak, but Mu Ying covered his mouth and said in a booing voice: "The person hasn't left yet." ”

The people outside hid for a long time, and there was no movement in the woods.

"Where the hell are you hiding?"

"I don't know, the top commanded, you must catch Wei Ruyi, and it is best to kill Princess Zhao!" After the two men dressed like bandits finished speaking, they felt that Wei Ruyi and his party might really not be here, so they finally went somewhere else.

When the voice above was completely gone, Wei Ruyi asked Mother Xie in a low voice: "Is everything arranged?" ”

"Don't worry." After Mother Xie finished speaking darkly, she asked Zhiyu to take out the snacks she brought, Mrs. Hu barely drank some hot soup, and her nervousness relaxed slightly, but Hu Qingwei had already begun to worry about Princess Jiang and Little Jiang Gongzi, if it was really a menacing bandit, would he be able to beat it.

In the front hall, the bloody gas has filled the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall, and hundreds of sharp arrows continue to shoot in from the outside, Jiang Yan was slightly injured, Lou Yan was protected by Mu Yun for the time being, and the prince listened to the cries of the people outside begging for mercy and the bloody gas full of the tip of his nose, and his eyebrows were slightly twisted.

"When will reinforcements arrive?" The prince asked in a cold voice.

The guards on the side were very worried: "The nearest reinforcements are the government soldiers of the Yamashita County, followed by the city guards who need half a day's journey, but now our guards can't rush out at all." ”

Jiang Di sat aside, lightly pulled out the sword in his hand, and said, "In this case, the king of this will personally go to ask for reinforcements!" ”

The crown prince frowned, if Jiang Di successfully invited reinforcements, no matter whether his father valued him or not, the people would be most grateful to him!

Just as Jiang Di picked up his sword and was about to go out, a more intense shout finally came.

Mu Yun glanced at the person who led the troops, and said in surprise: "It's the soldiers led by General Chen." ”

"Hmm." Lou Yan looked at Jiang Di, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said ruyily that the assassins who disguised themselves as mountain bandits in their previous lives just quietly lurked in and hijacked the people and killed King Xuan, but they didn't expect that now they would become even more intense and kill so many innocent people.

Jiang Di didn't expect Chen Ding to suddenly lead his troops to come, seeing that the plan failed, he pushed open the closed door and scolded: "You rebels, don't stop!" ”

When the words fell, those rebels understood, and they stopped slaughtering the people, and desperately killed the people in the main hall!
