Chapter Ninety-One: The Pearl of Your Palm
Yun Hao's news soon reached the Wei Mansion, and he arrived before Wei Ruyi.
Wei Xin was very vigilant now, and asked again and again, but he still couldn't believe that it was a sudden revenge from a concubine who had fallen out of favor.
"It is said that Yun Gongzi specially bought a bird that likes to peck people's eyes today, Master Hou, do you think this has anything to do with his eyes being gouged out?"
"Birds?" Wei Xin was puzzled, so he heard a report that Wei Ruyi was coming.
When Wei Xin heard this, he stepped forward, took two steps and reacted, how could he greet him himself, and immediately said, "Please invite her to my study." ”
The subordinates responded, and after a while, Wei Ruyi was invited.
It stands to reason that Wei Ruyi is now the princess Jinghe canonized by the emperor, even if it is Wei Xin, he will salute, but Wei Xin will never pull down this face, so he did not salute, Wei Ruyi came by himself, and he deliberately maintained the majesty of being a father with a cold face, and said, "Why did you come back so early?" ”
Wei Ruyi saw through his thoughts, and only bit his lip slightly: "Ruyi was shocked by a bird before, but when I checked the ancient books last night, I found out that this bird was a Bailuo bird unique to Fusang. ”
Wei Ruyi said poignantly, looking frightened.
Wei Xin immediately remembered the news of Yun Hao that came early in the morning, and his heart was also worried, could it be that this also involved Fusang?
It is likely that it is just a coincidence that the bird went to peck Ruyi, after all, she could never have anything to do with Fusang, but Yun Hao is different, he is a person from the Five Princes, and the Five Princes used to be in Biansai, so he must have a connection with Fusang.
He was a little flustered, if the Fusang people also had to deal with the Five Princes, then wouldn't it be a dead end for him to follow the Five Princes now?
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Wei Ruyi saw that he was actually so timid now, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's okay......" Wei Xin paused and looked up at her: "By the way, how is the national teacher recently?" ”
"My daughter didn't pay much attention to ......"
"You child, how can you not care less, after all, the emperor gave you the marriage. In this way, don't be afraid, you can find an opportunity to talk to him about this, see what he means, and you can tell me again, how about it? "Lou Yan's scheming is not ordinary, if it were him, he would definitely know what was going on.
Wei Xin pondered, what Wei Ruyi was waiting for was his words.
After speaking, he said: "Ruyi also heard that his father was restored to his title, Ruyi congratulated his father first......"
"Alright, just a knighthood." Wei Xin's mood was a little better, and he looked at the precious hairpins she was wearing in her hair now, and said with a smile: "You are also the princess Jinghe given by the emperor now, or move back to live." ”
"Grandmother's ......"
"Don't worry, I'll convince your grandmother." Wei Xin immediately assured, but Wei Ruyi could see the anger in his face clearly. The old lady still didn't agree to move back by herself......
The corners of Wei Ruyi's mouth raised slightly: "The emperor has rewarded a lot of Ruyi this time, didn't my father say that he wanted to hold a birthday banquet for his grandmother?" Although the time has passed, since it is a whole life, it doesn't matter if it is two days earlier or two days late, just because the father's title has been restored, it is better to do a big job, which can not only reflect your father's filial piety, set an example for hundreds of officials, but also live up to the emperor's trust. ”
Wei Xin looked at her sincere and expectant eyes, thinking of Zhizhou's widowed and wealthy sister, and hesitated.
Naturally, there are benefits to doing this, but the mother is bound to be unhappy, but ......
"Are you really willing to take out all those jewels?"
"Naturally, Ruyi has liquidated, there are two boxes of gold and silver, and those unengraved jewels are even more valuable, and it is more than enough to take them out for a birthday banquet, if my father agrees, Ruyi will let people send things in the afternoon." Wei Ruyi said with a smile.
Wu Ninghou was overjoyed when he heard this, he was worried about having no money.
After thinking about it, seeing that Wei Ruyi looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, his tone became more and more kind: "Ruyi, but what are the difficulties?" Tell your father, and he will promise you. ”
"Ruyi wants to move back earlier, and now that Ruyi has been canonized, I also want to do something, you can rest assured, it's not a big deal, it's just to see the suffering of the people, and now it's a hot day and I want to set up a medicine shed outside the house, and give some soup to the people who are willing to come to receive it every day, what do you think?"
Wei Ruyi looked at him pleadingly.
Wei Xin saw that it was just such a request, where was there anything that he didn't agree, he immediately ordered someone to do it, anyway, a few summer medicine couldn't cost a few dollars, and Wei Ruyi could still be obedient.
"Then Ruyi Ming'er will move back, do you think it's okay?" Wei Ruyi said again.
Wei Xin agreed a hundred times, and immediately asked people to clean up the Nanfeng Courtyard.
When it was time to leave, Wei Ruyi looked at the old lady who was quietly guarding the door to listen, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. She administered the medicine, and she moved back in order to stimulate the old lady.
"Miss, what if the old lady doesn't agree to you moving back?" Mu Ying asked with some concern.
"She really wouldn't agree." Wei Ruyi was very convinced, because not only did she move back without asking, but she also had to administer medicine outside, and the old lady should hate her use of medical skills, so a stubborn person like her would definitely quarrel with Wei Xin.
Mu Ying was puzzled: "Then you still ......"
"I'm going to get my father to kick her out." Wei Ruyi said and sighed softly: "She moved out, at least she can not be dragged into these things by her father, and the most important thing is that she can also make her father fall into the charge of unfilial piety." Mu Ying, the king of Runan, a favorite concubine and the emperor can cut all his power, do you guess what will happen if an unfilial hat is buttoned down? ”
Mu Ying looked at her: "Miss is going to borrow a knife to kill someone?" ”
"I don't know if I kill or not, but let him fall from a high place into the dust again, his mood must be more tormenting than death." Wei Ruyi smiled coldly before returning to the Chen Mansion.
As soon as Wei Ruyi's gold, silver and jewelry were delivered in the afternoon, Wei Xin immediately went to find the old lady strongly. The mother and son, who were already suspicious, naturally quarreled because of this incident, but they did not shake Wei Xin's heart to collect money in the name of the old lady and the intention of asking Wei Ruyi to move back.
After parting with the old lady, he pondered about Yunhao's affairs, and went to find Jiang Ji, but when he arrived at Jiang Ji's door, he happened to hear that Concubine Mei was arrested, and he immediately ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.
When Jiang Ji heard the news of Concubine Mei's arrest, he was so angry that he directly smashed the beads in his hand: "How could Niangniang be discovered, what are you doing!" ”
"Your Highness, we don't know what's going on, and by the time we reacted, all of our people had been killed, and Niangniang was also arrested and sent to the palace." The people below were smashed by Jiang Ji on their foreheads, and they replied cautiously with the pain.
When Jiang Ji heard this, his eyes were fierce: "It must be Lou Yan, it must be him, only he has the ability!" ”
"Then what to do now, Niangniang was sent to the emperor, she must not survive, if you don't want to save it......"
"Save?" Jiang Ji sat down on the stool dejectedly, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to be about to turn into venom and drip out. How to save her, since she was sent to the emperor, there is no possibility of saving her, if she wants to rob herself, maybe she will anger the emperor, but she will also put herself in.
The people below did not dare to make a sound, and the atmosphere remained silent until it was getting dark outside.
"Someone."
Finally, he spoke.
His viper-like eyes grew darker and darker, hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see what was hidden inside, as if a poisonous snake was staring in the dark.
"Your Highness, what do you command?"
"Go find Lou Yan and tell him that I want to see him." After he finished speaking, the people below dodged and went out, but it only took half a pillar of incense before someone sent his head back.
Jiang Ji looked at the head of the person who was sent back, couldn't hold back any longer, and overturned all the tables and cabinets in this room, and finally roared after exhausting his strength: "Lou Yan, do you really want to force me to a dead end!" ”
"Your Highness!" Someone came over worriedly, but Jiang Ji only smelled the blood in this room, and sat on the messy ground with red eyes: "Go out." ”
The crowd didn't dare to talk nonsense, and immediately retreated and closed the door.
waited for everyone to leave, Jiang Ji held his forehead and silently shed tears. Concubine Mei treated him more than he was born, thinking that his mother went crazy in the harem battle, and it was Concubine Mei who raised him, although she was vicious and killed countless people, but since he was a child, he only recognized her as a mother concubine, but he didn't expect to be defeated in the hands of the queen and killed by his father......
"Does the emperor not recognize the concubine?"
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Concubine Mei looked up at him and smiled sarcastically.
After so many years, he is also old, and one thing after another makes him only tired on his face, and he is no longer the handsome emperor who was diligent in government affairs.
The Emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously, looking at the half of her ruined face in the flickering candle flame, and snorted coldly; "After so many years, I can't forget your eyes, they seem to be weak, but they actually hide evil intentions!"
Concubine Mei looked at him with tears in her eyes as if she had been pierced by a sharp arrow: "In this harem, except for Roujia, who you are used to, who has never killed anyone?" ”
"But you are not as vicious, you will murder my heir! Are you still thinking about murdering me? The Emperor questioned her.
Concubine Mei smiled more and more sarcastically: "The emperor's suspicion is really not good at all, whoever the concubine kills, will not kill you." However, the concubine also expected it a long time ago, when you slaughtered the Qin family because you suspected that Concubine Qi was having an affair with someone, the concubine knew that your words of benevolence and righteousness were just hypocrisy to deceive yourself! ”
Before Concubine Mei's words fell, the emperor kicked her in the heart and shouted: "Shut up!" ”
Concubine Mei saw that he was angry, and her smile became bigger and bigger: "Is the emperor weak-hearted?" I don't know if the emperor dreamed of her at night after Concubine Qi committed suicide, did she cry or laugh......"
Before Concubine Mei finished speaking, the emperor directly pulled out the sword hanging on the side, pushed away the father-in-law Gao who was about to stop him, and pierced Concubine Mei's chest with a sword.
"Shut up!" The emperor scolded, Concubine Mei watched the cold sword pierce into her body, tears slowly fell, she raised her eyes to look at him, and her tone had become weak: "Your Majesty, for so many years, it has been the concubine who has coerced the five princes to support me, he is a benevolent and filial child, please see that his biological mother died early, and he was alone for the sake of being lonely for many years, spare his life...... Now that the concubine is dead, she should offset the sins of the concubine. ”
After she finished speaking, she grabbed the emperor's sword, pierced her heart a little deeper, and watched the emperor come back to his senses and take a few steps backwards before he smiled sadly and fell to the ground without breathing.
The emperor watched her die in front of him with her eyes open, like Concubine Qi more than twenty years ago.
"Concubine Qi...... Concubine Qi ...... "He took two steps back, tripped over something, and fell directly to the ground."
Gonggong Gao was frightened and hurriedly came to help him: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
The emperor grabbed his arm and said with a straight gaze: "Pass the order, Concubine Mei will commit suicide in fear of sin." Then I ordered someone to find out what the five princes were doing tonight, and what was the reaction after knowing the news, and they had to go back and forth word for word. ”
Gao Gonggong looked at his slightly pale face, and immediately arranged for someone to do it, and then helped him to sit down on the soft side, and brought him tea: "The emperor will drink tea first to suppress the shock......"
"In the palace, no one is allowed to mention Concubine Qi and the Qin family again, understand!" His gaze was fiercer than ever.
"Yes......" Gao Gonggong lowered his eyes to hide the flicker in his eyes.
After pacifying the emperor and resting, he came out of the Palace of Heart Cultivation, recruited his confidant little eunuch, and whispered to him before saying, "Tell him word for word." ”
The little eunuch nodded emphatically.
When Lou Yan knew the news, the dark clouds outside just dispersed, revealing a bright moon hidden inside.
Mu Yun took the cloak and gave it to him: "What should I do next?" ”
"Wait and see."
"Hmm." After thinking about it, Mu Yun looked at him again: "You are really fine." ”
Lou Yan only looked at the moon with his hands, the whole sky was extremely clean, there was only the moon, nothing. Because of Jiang Ji, his plan had to be taken one step ahead, and all the previous arrangements were also disrupted a lot, and next, he had to rearrange it himself, so at this time, he couldn't be distracted, let alone show a flaw.
Mu Yun didn't speak when he saw him like this, and only secretly calculated the day of his wedding, he thought that when Wei Ruyi got married, someone would be able to comfort him.
The night passed, and at dawn the next day, Wei Ruyi packed up his things and went back to Wei's mansion.
When leaving, Mrs. Chen was so angry that she ignored her, and Chen Ding was also full of puzzlement: "Ruyi, why do you have to toss back and forth like this, just stay in the Chen family, your grandfather and uncle will make decisions for you, if he Wei Xin dares to come, I will break my leg and throw it out!" ”
"Uncle, rest assured, Ruyi has his own plans." Wei Ruyi smiled lightly, Chen Yansleeve watched from the side, and did not say anything to persuade her, she knew that Ruyi had been secretly planning something, so she wanted her to make a decision that would not be hasty.
"I'll send you." Chen Yansleeve saw that the salute was finished, and said directly.
Wei Ruyi nodded: "Qing'er went to school, and when he came back, my sister sent him to Mengfu, and also went to ask my aunt for peace." ”
Chen Yansleeve understood what she meant, now that July is over, the college is also going to be on vacation, and when September is the beginning of the school year, it is time to take this opportunity to find Meng Chang to go to Qingshan Academy.
Chen Yan responded with his sleeves, and Wei Ruyi got into the carriage and went towards the Wei Mansion.
On the way there, Wei Ruyi asked her about Shamu.
"Shamu?" Chen Yansleeve thought for a while, and then remembered that when he was on the border, he had a relationship with her: "She is a famous genius in their family, she solved the problem that has plagued his brother for more than ten years at the age of ten, and later she has repeatedly developed all kinds of weird and poisonous poisons, and she has become famous." ”
When Wei Ruyi heard this, she really couldn't figure out where she could connect with herself, and even if she was such a genius, she must be proud and not be easily used by others, so it was okay, at least as long as she didn't conflict with her, there should be nothing wrong.
Thinking like this, Wei Ruyi soon arrived at Wei's house.
As soon as she got off the carriage, the subordinates of the Wei Mansion greeted her and began to help her move her things.
After moving the things, Wei Ruyi went to greet the old lady, and specially brought the housekeeper.
Outside Songhe Hall, Wei Ruyi was stopped by someone: "Fourth Miss, the old lady is not feeling well......
Without waiting for Wei Ruyi to speak, the housekeeper said, "Do you have any rules, it is Princess Jinghe who is in front of you now." If the old lady is unwell, then it just so happens that our princess knows how to heal, and it is okay to go in and take a look, so get out of the way. ”
"But ......"
"But what? If Master Hou knew that you were a little girl, he would dare to make a stumbling block here, and he wouldn't be able to betray you! The housekeeper threatened her, and the little girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak again, and hurriedly trotted back to reply.
Wei Ruyi looked at the hostile people in the courtyard, turned back to the housekeeper and said, "Since my grandmother doesn't want to see me, I think I'd better move out......
"Princess, Master Hou wants you to come back, can you go." The housekeeper said urgently.
"But grandmother, she ......"
"Don't worry, the little one will go back to the Hou Ye, and let the Hou Ye come to persuade the old lady again." The housekeeper immediately glared at the people in the courtyard.
When Wei Ruyi heard this, he looked at the inner room again, didn't speak, and turned around and went back to Nanfeng Courtyard to drink tea.
Since she left, the two medicine gardens she had planted before had been destroyed, and she knew that it must be the old lady's intention.
After drinking tea, he said to the diligent housekeeper below: "You go and ask my father, I see that the soil in the waterfront area behind Songhe Hall is good, and it is just right to grow medicinal herbs, so I can ask my father to agree." ”
"Okay, let's go for the little ones." The butler immediately ran out.
However, these were not too many requests in Wei Xin's opinion, of course he agreed, and immediately ordered someone to buy medicinal herbs to plant, and Wei Ruyi became Wei Xin's pearl in the palm of his hand at this time.
Near evening, Wei Xin went to see the old lady, and the two naturally quarreled again, and then Wei Xin threw up his sleeves and walked out, but the invitation for the Wei family to hold a birthday banquet still flew out like snowflakes.
When the old lady heard these news, she was so angry that she couldn't speak, she sat in the room with a blue face, looking at her son who had come to provoke her many times, and at the Hou Mansion that no longer belonged to her, holding the handkerchief tightly, sitting for a day, not talking, and not eating.
Finally, on the third day, the birthday banquet of the Hou Mansion began.
Jiang Ji didn't sleep in the Five Princes' Mansion for a few days and nights, and after waiting for the summer tea to be rewarded in the palace, the heart he was carrying fell down, and the emperor was going to let him go, but Concubine Mei should be gone.
"Your Highness, according to this view, it is only a matter of time before the emperor restores your throne." The people below were busy flattering.
"What about Yun Hao." Jiang Ji ignored him and asked.
The man closed his mouth in embarrassment, and there was a humane on the side: "His eyeballs were gouged out, and he was lying on the bed and didn't go out." ”
Jiang Ji smiled coldly: "Waste." Tell him that if he wants revenge, he will go to Wei Mansion today. ”
"Revenge? Could it be that someone instructed ......?"
"Otherwise, do you think Lou Yan will let him go so easily?" Jiang Ji asked him rhetorically.
The people below thought for a while: "But we didn't find any shadow of Lou Yan......
Jiang Ji's eyes sharpened, and the people below hurriedly said: "My subordinates are going to spread the word." ”
"Tell him that it's better for the fish to die than to die alone."
The people below looked at the murderous aura all over him, trembled, and hurried to do it. But unbeknownst to him, Wei Ruyi was waiting for them to come from the net!
Today is a sunny day, early in the morning, the Wei Mansion is busy, Wei Xin is even busier, many people come to congratulate, Sun Shangshu and Meng Chang are also there, and several people chatted very happily.
Sun Shangshu asked Meng Chang: "How is the eldest sister?" ”
"It's much better, and Changlin's body is better." Meng Chang mentioned this, and a slight smile appeared on his serious face.
"It seems that Ruyi's medical skills are really good." Sun Shangshu's eyes flashed slightly, he was really not mistaken, this niece is not simple, and now she is canonized as Princess Jinghe, and she has a bright future in the future.
He looked at Wei Xin, who was a little embarrassed, and said, "Ruyi is accompanying the old lady?" ”
"Xu is still in Nanfeng Courtyard, how are you doing, I heard that Wan'er is also discussing marriage, but you have a favorite family?" After Wei Xin asked, Sun Shangshu thought about it, didn't tell him the truth, and only said a few perfunctory. As for the news that the palace handed over, and intended to give Wan'er to King Xiao, he wanted to find an opportunity to ask Lou Yan, after all, now the momentum of seizing the heir is becoming more and more obvious, and King Xiao is obviously involved in it, if he marries him, it is good that he wins, but if he loses, then the position of Shangshu that he has worked hard for so long is not only gone, but his life may not be saved.
A few people were thinking about each other, and they heard a report from someone that Yun Hao had come to congratulate him.
"Yun Hao?" Wei Xin's eyes shrank, and after hurriedly saying goodbye, he ran away in person.
When he ran to the front door, Yun Hao was holding the hand of his subordinate and walked in slowly, with white gauze wrapped around his eyes, and his face was gloomy as if he had just crawled out of hell.
Wei Xin hurriedly went up and lowered his voice: "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm here to congratulate Hou Ye, Hou Ye is not happy?" Yun Hao asked him loudly.
Wei Xin looked around awkwardly, and the subordinates led everyone away, and Wei Xin said in a deep voice: "I have thought about it, I still can't follow the five princes to do things." ”
Yun Hao had expected him to say this, so he only sneered: "Okay, but I have one condition, otherwise, I will let everyone know that you are the person of the Fifth Prince today." ”
Wei Xin's fists tightened slightly, and he asked him coldly, "What conditions?" ”
"Give me Wei Ruyi!" After Yun Hao finished speaking coldly, Wei Xin furrowed his brows: "What do you want her to do, she is ...... now"
"I don't care who she is now! If you don't hand her over to me, I won't be able to keep your throne today!" After Yun Hao finished speaking, he paused, and then sneered: "I'm here today, I won't leave if you and Wei Ruyi don't destroy one, protect you or protect her, I think you should have a decision in your heart, right?" ”
A selfish person like Wei Xin, in order to protect himself, he can sacrifice everyone, Yun Hao knows this very well!
