Chapter Ninety-Three: Suspicious
Lou Yan sat in the most central position, and sitting opposite him was Jiang Di, the king of Xiao, who he specially invited, and Lord Shangshu of the six departments.
Several people looked at each other, Jiang Di only smiled and drank the glass of wine in front of him: "This scene is really good." ”
"Good corner." Lou Yan said lightly, glanced at Ah Zhong and Ayi, and the two of them understood and dragged down those assassins who had already been caught.
Wei Ruyi stood behind the stage and looked at Xue Wuxi: "It's hard work." ”
"It's not hard, punish the traitor and eliminate the evil, this hero should do." Xue Wuxian said with a smile.
"I told Mu Ying." Wei Ruyi glanced at him, looked at Mu Ying, who still had some blood stains on his face behind him, Mu Ying arched his hand and said: "The national teacher is here, and all those people in the shadows have been arrested. ”
Wei Ruyi nodded: "You go and clean up first, and the rest will be done for you." ”
Xue Wuxian immediately pouted his face arrogantly: "Don't go." ”
"Hero, if you don't do the thing of punishing adultery and eliminating evil, who else can do it? What's more, a jade tree like you is in the wind, don't let those young people see what their predecessors are, how do they grow? Wei Ruyi said.
Xue Wuxian immediately became happy, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach the root of his ears, before he hummed: "Count you as acquaintances, let's say, what's the matter?" ”
Wei Ruyi pointed to the library building where the fire was ignited, and said, "The corpse inside can't be discovered." ”
Xue Wuxian glanced at the fire, and then looked at Mu Ying, who had slipped away, and his mouth moved: "Dead Xiaojuni, what do you think of my jade tree Linfeng?" ”
"Of course they can see it." Wei Ruyi said again.
"You ......" Xue Wuxian really couldn't find the words to refute, and stroked the long hair in front of his forehead before shaking his head.
Wei Ruyi watched him leave, and looked at the restless guests in front of him through the curtain behind the stage, his eyes were faint, from now on, there will be no more Wuning Marquis Mansion.
At this time, Wei Xin didn't know that such a thing had happened in front of him, and he was only anxious that the old lady was going to leave at this time, in case someone knew, he would definitely scold him for being unfilial, and the hat of unfilial piety could not be worn at will.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Wei Xin was a little angry and asked the old lady who was about to leave the mansion to stop him.
"If you still call me mother, then go and withdraw this birthday banquet immediately!" The old lady said coldly.
Wei Xin was angry, but he finally held back his breath and said, "The money has been spent, and people have been invited, how can you say that you can't do it at this time?" Mother, you should feel sorry for your son once, and go to the front and sit down, and it won't take much time for you......"
The old lady stared at him coldly: "Didn't I say a long time ago that I wouldn't go?" Are you still complaining about me? ”
"Nature is not ......"
"What's that? I drove Wei Ruyi out of the house, you turned a deaf ear to my words, invited her back without saying anything, and tossed her medical skills that I didn't know how many catties and taels she had. Why, now that she has been crowned a princess, she is amazing? The old lady questioned him as well.
Wei Xin's teeth tightened slightly, the relationship between him and the old lady was already tense, and the misunderstanding decades ago was a knot in the hearts of the two of them, and it had never been untied.
"My mother has refused to come back for so many years, but now she is back and refuses to help her son at all, how can there be a mother like you in the world? only remembered his little grievances, never done anything for his own son, and now he can only ask for it! Wei Xin said her harshly.
The old lady seemed to be punched in the chest, and asked him in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”
"I said you don't deserve to be a mother! Back then, your father was disgusted with you and went to spoil the concubine, you deserved it! After Wei Xin finished speaking, he looked at the people beside her: "Your deed of sale is all in my hands, if any of you dare to step out of this Hou Mansion today, I will break your legs!" ”
Everyone was taken aback, and the old lady coldly sarcastic: "You also stole the deed of sale?" ”
Wei Xin didn't answer, but ordered others with a blushing face: "What are you still doing in a daze, bring the old lady in for me immediately!" ”
After speaking, the subordinates hurriedly persuaded the old lady, but the old lady only felt cold. Although she has a dislike for this son, she has never treated him badly, but she didn't expect him to be such a bastard!
"I will die here today, and I will never set foot in your Hou Mansion again!"
"Mother seems to have forgotten the three and four virtues?" Wei Xin looked at her sarcastically: "Marry and obey the husband, and the husband dies and obeys the son!" If you don't want to step in again, unless the Wei Mansion gives you a letter of resignation, otherwise, your mother will invite herself to leave the court! ”
When the old lady listened to these heartless words, her whole body was stunned, her whole body was wooden, and her hands and feet were even colder.
Her face moved stiffly, and then she looked at him sarcastically and desperately: "Okay, my good son, you really have the same heart as your father, you are all the same unkind people!" ”
Wei Xin didn't want to hear her say this anymore, so he directly asked people to forcibly help her in.
Before entering the Hou Mansion, the housekeeper stumbled to talk about Yun Hao.
Before he finished listening, his legs were weak, and he immediately ran towards the front yard, and by then, the guests had almost dispersed, and Sun Shangshu heard that the wind was wrong, and immediately ran away.
Lou Yan was still sitting with Jiang Di, as if he was waiting for him to come over.
"His Royal Highness King Xiao ......"
He wanted to salute, Jiang Di only smiled faintly, glanced at Lou Yan, and then looked at the back of the stage, before he smiled and said: "Fang Cai's play is really exciting, Hou Ye actually missed it, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”
Wei Xin only felt a buzzing sound in his head, he looked at Lou Yan who was drinking tea lightly, now he is no longer a national teacher, I am afraid that it is useless to beg him, but if you don't ask him, who else can you ask?
Lou Yan saw him staring at himself with burning eyes, so he slowly put down the teacup and looked up at Jiang Di: "His Royal Highness King Xiao must be interested in telling the emperor about the play, if the Hou Ye wants to explain it clearly, it is better to enter the palace with His Royal Highness King Xiao." ”
Jiang Di raised his eyebrows, and after thinking about it, his cold face also showed a bit of appreciation: "The ability of the national teacher to use people is beyond the reach of this king." ”
"The prince is polite."
Lou Yan replied lightly, not at all in a hurry.
Wei Xin swallowed his saliva and looked at Jiang Di, Jiang Di didn't mind taking Wei Xin with him, in this way, it was ironclad evidence.
"Then the king will leave first, the national teacher should drink less tea, you are weak, in case it is the day of the wedding, if you can get your wish, won't you lose?"
"It seems that the prince should really go to the palace more, the ladies in the palace are tired, but they lack the mouth to tell them jokes." Lou Yan replied to him indifferently, and Jiang Di was not angry, but it was a pity that he couldn't see Wei Ruyi today, but this scene really surprised him. blinded Yun Hao first, and then asked Wei Xin to hold such a big banquet to invite everyone, and finally tricked Yun Hao, who was crazy and lost his mind, to pour out all the secrets.
When he left, Lou Yan slowly got up and was about to go out, when he heard a burst of footsteps trotting behind him, he didn't turn his head, the hand behind him opened, and the next second, a soft little hand reached out and grabbed him.
"Why is Brother Yan here and leaving?" Wei Ruyi asked him dissatisfied.
"You set up such a big stage, after the play, I will naturally leave." Lou Yan smiled on his lips and said lightly.
Wei Ruyi pouted: "Let's go and see the old lady together, the old lady refuses to see me, you go with me, there must be a way, right?" ”
Lou Yan caught a glimpse of her worried look out of the corner of her eyes, and said, "There is a secret door in the courtyard, let Ah Zhong take you next time." ”
"You're not going?"
"Not for now." Lou Yan replied.
Wei Ruyi was puzzled, Lou Yan only touched the jade bead on her wrist, and said, "King Ping is checking this thing, if you don't want to cause trouble, put it away." ”
Wei Ruyi reacted, and looked down at the jade bead through which the red rope passed, which obviously looked ordinary, except that the miniature carving engraved inside was very mysterious.
"Then should I return it to His Royal Highness King Ping, this is Princess Ping's thing after all."
"Even if it is given to you, you will keep it." Lou Yan saw that she didn't know yet, and only said: "Try to avoid seeing King Ping again in the future." ”
Wei Ruyi saw his worry, although he didn't understand, he still nodded: "I know, but Brother Yan ......"
Wei Ruyi wanted to remind her that there might be someone around the fifth prince who knew about the future, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, how could Brother Yan believe it, and if he asked him again how he was sure that someone knew about the future, how would she answer, tell him that he was a person who had lived a lifetime? Will he be afraid?
She hesitated again and again, and under the eyes he looked at, she only smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I just want to see you more, and you promised to take me to Jiangnan." ”
"Soon." Lou Yan glanced at Meng Chang, who was standing not far away, before he said, "You must be careful of the woman named Sha Mu who has appeared in the capital recently. She is good at using drugs, and she came to Beijing this time, perhaps because of you. ”
After Lou Yan finished speaking, Yahuan Xiaoxin beside the old lady stumbled and ran over: "Miss, the old lady hanged herself......"
Wei Ruyi was startled, and he didn't have time to say anything to Lou Yan, so he went to Songhe Hall with his skirt.
The old lady should be a person with a tough heart, otherwise she would not have been able to live comfortably like that with the old marquis back then, why did she suddenly commit suicide, what did my father say?
When she arrived, the old lady had already been picked up and put on the ground, Wei Ruyi went up to check the pulse, and there was still a breath left, so she hurriedly pulled out the silver needle, but saw the old lady wake up faintly, and when she saw her, her eyes were full of anger: "You get out of here." ”
"Grandmother ......"
"I'm not your grandmother, I kicked you out a long time ago, I have nothing to do with you, get out of here!"
The old lady seemed to hate her very much, and even her hatred for Wei Xin was counted on her head.
Wei Ruyi saw that she was so excited, so she had to take back the silver needle and get up to look at her: "I don't bother to do anything to repay grievances with virtue." Father has entered the palace now, if you want to leave the Wei Mansion, go now. After speaking, he turned his head and instructed the maid ring behind him: "Let people watch the housekeeper, dare to make a hindrance, tie me up and break his legs!" ”
Wei Ruyi finished speaking coldly, and left.
The old lady kept panting, but Xiaoxin looked at the domineering Wei Ruyi in shock, and then hurriedly waited for the old lady: "Why don't you rest first......"
"Go and prepare the carriage, if you don't leave today, I'll die here!" She no longer wants to stay in the Wei Mansion, the current Wei Mansion not only reminds her of the disgrace she once had, but this son makes her feel heartache and resentment, he is as affectionate as his father, and he is a bastard!
Wei Ruyi returned to Nanfeng Courtyard, everyone didn't dare to breathe heavily when they saw her, but Wei Ruyi just asked people to send Mrs. Xu and Hu Qingwei away first, and after sorting out the medical books with a blank head, she half leaned on the warm couch and asked people to invite the shopkeeper Shen.
The opening day of Laifulou is set for these two days, and now that the Wei family has an accident, Laifulou can't stay in her name.
"The shopkeeper went to Xu's house this afternoon." Wei Ruyi said.
"The Xu family, the head of the imperial merchants?" Shopkeeper Shen also knows something.
Wei Ruyi nodded: "Lord Xu is familiar with business affairs, and his channels and heads are even wider, you go to find him, in the future, Fulou and other industries will change their names and surnames, and pay 20% of the income every year to be considered filial piety, let him come forward as a guarantee." ”
Shopkeeper Shen was a little surprised by Wei Ruyi's Fang, and when he came to Fulou, he heard that she had divided the shopkeeper's dry shares, and now she was going to give away 20% of the dividends to the Xu family, such a big deal, he would never dare to make a decision so easily before.
"Miss, why did you do this all of a sudden?"
"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Wei Ruyi smiled lightly: "You do what I do first, all these properties will be transferred, and only one or two worst Zhuangzi will be left." ”
Shopkeeper Shen thought that he might not understand the affairs of the court, but Uncle Fang and Xiao Yao kept praising Miss for being a supernatural person, so they also nodded trustingly: "The little one will do it." ”
"Where does the shopkeeper's family live now?" Wei Ruyi saw that he was in a hurry to leave, and asked again.
When the shopkeeper heard her ask this, he smiled shyly: "It's all in my hometown, my family is not very good, I can't stand the rush, and the children are still young, so I let them follow my mother to study at home." ”
When Wei Ruyi heard this, he was also a little relieved, and only after doubling his monthly routine did he send him down, and reminded Mu Ying and Xue Wuxian to pay more attention to his family's movements, so he didn't mention it again.
On the same day, the emperor was directly ill, and the people of the entire Tai Hospital reminded him to hang his gall in the Yangxin Hall for a night, and the emperor recovered some of his spirit the next day, but unexpectedly did not immediately dispose of the five princes, but called all the insiders to beat him, and in the afternoon of the same day, a holy decree made Wei Xin, the third pinqin, go out of the palace to do business.
When Wei Xin came back to pack his things, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, Wei Ruyi came over, he was ashamed and resentful of her for luring Yun Hao out, seeing her coming, the whole person was cold: "Ruyi, you don't really want to hurt your father, right?" ”
Wei Ruyi looked stunned: "Why is my father so suspicious of Ruyi?" ”
"If not for the best." Before Wei Xin left, he took a deep look at her and asked people to exchange most of the family's jewelry for silver tickets before leaving.
As he left, Wei Ruyi saw his surging killing intent.
Whether it is killing intent or kindness, the emperor asked him to go on a business trip at this time, but I am afraid that there will be no return.
She watched his back leave, and then looked at the already empty Wei Mansion, and she didn't feel much relieved. She didn't like revenge, she wished there had never been, but those people were too greedy.
Yun Jia.
Yun Hao was taken to the prison, and he didn't have to think about it, he would definitely die.
The Yun family knelt in front of the head of the Yun family, and said with a resolute face: "Father, these things were definitely designed by Wei Ruyi, and her daughter saw her scheming at the beginning, and it was she who made her daughter what she is now!" ”
"Wei Ruyi." The head of the Yun family gritted his teeth: "Let's not provoke her, she is so vicious and has repeatedly harmed my Yun family's heir!" ”
"And this woman's fox ability is very high, Zhang Er was confused by her at the beginning, and now she has confused Lou Yan, even Qi Huang of Runan Wangfu was deceived by her, if she continues to be allowed to go on like this, I am afraid that my Yun family is in danger!"
The thin face of the head of the Yun family was sharp, and the indifference that he didn't care about the world instantly turned into murderous aura: "I think she dares!" ”
"That ......"
"I don't go out of the horse, they really kill me. Go and call someone, I want to change my clothes. The face of the head of the Yun family was dark, and the Yun family was happy in his heart: "Father is going to enter the palace?" ”
"I'm a dignified Yun family, how can I watch it being fiddled with by a yellow-haired girl?" The head of the Yun family snorted coldly, but he was very disdainful in his heart, little child, thinking that when he was calling for wind and rain in the court to cover the sky with one hand, who dared to bully him like this Yun family, he had already torn it apart, and now he finally took refuge in Buddhism with a pure heart and few desires, she is so ignorant of life and death, don't blame him for being polite!
The carriage of the Yun family rushed to the palace, and Qiu Shi, who was staring outside the Yun Mansion, saw it, so he pulled down the brim of his hat and quickly went to the Five Princes' Mansion.
"Everything is as His Highness expected, the head of the Yun family has gone out." Qiu Shidao.
"Finally willing to come out." Jiang Ji looked at the captured Bailuo bird gloomily, his eyes were cold: "I thought that Wei Xin and Lou Yan would definitely kill him, but I didn't expect to be cut off by Wei Ruyi, and let him shake me out." But it doesn't matter, as long as the head of the Yun family goes out, the goal will be achieved. ”
Qiu Shi looked at him with some concern: "But now the emperor already knows about your affairs to the concubine......
"My father is suspicious by nature, and he won't believe it. At that time, I was still confined to the Five Princes' Mansion, where did I have the ability to arrange such a big event? These are all done by Yun Hao......"
"But Yun Hao is not dead yet, in case he turns back......" Qiu Shi hesitated, and before he could speak, he saw the guards on the side sneering: "Then it will bother Qiu Gongzi." ”
Qiu Shi was so frightened: "Let me kill him?" ”
"You don't want to?"
"No...... Of course I do...... As long as His Highness can help me, I am naturally willing. Qiu Shi glanced at Jiang Ji weakly, but Jiang Ji didn't get angry unexpectedly, only turned his head to look at him with a smile, and said, "Believe me, Yu Rouyi, I will definitely send you to bed." ”
When Qiu Shi heard this, he mustered up some courage in his heart, nodded, and the attendant on the side handed him a dagger: "Use this, quench the poison, and you can die by cutting a small hole." ”
Qiu Shi responded, took the dagger tremblingly, looked at the gloomy Jiang halberd, and hurriedly saluted and retreated.
After he left, Jiang Ji glanced at the guards and pulled out his knife: "Since the play has started, it is natural to play it more ......."
"Your Highness, you must be careful!"
Jiang Ji pulled out the knife, snorted coldly, raised his hand and slashed his legs and arms a few times, until the flesh and blood were blurred, then he pushed open the door and shouted out: "There are assassins, help!" ”
The news soon spread to the palace, and the emperor was still hesitating to see the head of the Yun family, but when he heard the news of Jiang Ji's assassination, the trace of doubt in his heart disappeared completely, and he immediately threw a copy of Jiang Ji's exile in his hand on the ground.
King Ping, who was sitting on the side to help review government affairs, immediately got up: "Father." ”
"Look at these ministers, they can't wait to pull the fifth prince off the horse, I have already grounded him, and now the matter is still being investigated, he can't wait for a little time?"
The emperor scolded, and when Gao Gonggong heard the word 'he' behind him, he lowered his eyebrows.
King Ping only ordered someone to make tea: "Erchen will order the imperial doctor to go to the prince's mansion, and the father is not in a hurry." ”
"Why don't you worry, look at me, my good son, I haven't decided on the position of the prince yet, I'm going to kill each other, if it's decided, will the prince still be able to survive?" Emperor airway.
King Ping could hear that the emperor suspected that Jiang Di was behind the scenes, so he only took the opportunity to say: "Father, the fourth emperor may just be dizzy for a while." ”
"Look, even you can guess it's him!" The emperor's face was pale, he thought about it, and said directly: "Go to the draft decree to restore the title of the fifth prince Rongwang, in addition, King Xiao has stayed in the capital for a long time, let him go to the cities to inspect, and then return to Beijing after the inspection is clear!" ”
Gao Gonggong's eyes trembled, if he let King Rong out, and then drove King Xiao out of Beijing, he would die, I am afraid that it would be King Xiao.
He should go down immediately.
The emperor thought for a while and stopped him: "The seventh is also getting married, and the holy decree of the king will be passed down together, as well as the sixth who has been recuperating at home, has also been sealed, the sixth is the king of Lian, and the seventh is the king of Zhao." ”
Gonggong Gao knew that the emperor was pulling the sixth prince and the seventh prince out to share with King Rong, and it seemed that he still liked His Royal Highness King Ping for the crown prince.
Thinking of this, he immediately went to preach the message.
"Emperor, you're tired too, go and rest." The Emperor said.
"Then the father should pay more attention to his body." King Ping knew that he was going to see the head of the Yun family, so he saluted and came out, and when he saw the head of the Yun family, he saw him bending down and saluting, with a cold face: "The sea of bitterness is endless, and turning back is the shore." ”
The head of the Yun family was stunned, King Ping, who had been a monk for so long, was also going to participate in the succession?
King Ping ignored him, and after leaving the palace, he directly ordered: "Go to Wei Mansion first." ”
"I heard that the national teacher is already waiting for you in the Pingwang Mansion." The little guy said.
"The king knows." King Ping didn't like Lou Yan's feeling of counting everything in his hands, today's matter, he thought that Lou Yan must have arranged the next step, or rather, pushing out the sixth and seventh children and driving the fourth out is his real purpose.
Even if his father restores the fifth king of Rong now, he will also have a grudge because of the matter of Concubine Mei, so no matter what, King Rong can't compete for himself.
But that's why he doesn't like Lou Yan.
The carriage soon arrived at the Wei Mansion, and when he came, he didn't let anyone go back, but walked inside while thinking about things, until he saw Wei Ruyi, who was sitting on the swing with a pair and dangling his little feet.
She is wearing a plain white robe today, tilting her head to think about something, this charm is very similar to Princess Ping.
