The reason why Empress Wei targeted Lu Guanyun was actually something that could not be helped: everyone knew that He Lou Duhan himself had no reason to assassinate the prince, and there was no one else who had the motive and ability to instruct He Lou Duhan to do so!

However, there is no evidence, the foundation of the Su family is far away in Qingzhou, and there is a King Su wandering outside - just killed these few surnamed Su in the imperial capital, how can she be willing?

So while she started to plan the King of Shu as a backup choice, she also spared no effort to justifiably kill the Su family.

Helplessly, He Lou Duhan was worthy of being born in Fufeng Hall, and he was tortured for three days and three nights, and tortured unimaginably by ordinary people, he couldn't say a word!

Starting from him, he obtained a confession against the Su family, so that his desire to become famous was disappointed, Pei Yourui has not been able to find a figure so far, and those subordinates in He Lou Mansion don't know all about it - Empress Wei thought about it and finally thought of another person who could open this gap: He Lou Duhan's disciple, Lu Guanyun!

"This Lu Guanyun is young, and the Hengshan Palace's mansion has always been in the middle." When Xin Xian heard this order, she was a little puzzled, "Even if He Lou Duhan saw him in front of Yan Hou and his wife, he accepted him as a disciple, and it is said that he has been working hard to guide his homework in the past two years, but it is impossible to reveal his true identity to him, right?" ”

Even if He Lou Duhan and Lu Guanyun have a special master-apprentice fate, they like this apprentice very much...... But Lu Guanyun is too young at this age, and generally thinks that it is difficult for children to keep secrets, unless He Lou Duhan has a broken brain, he will tell this disciple that he is actually an important secret child planted by Fufeng Hall beside Gu Shao!

But Empress Wei sneered: "Lu Guanyun knows that it doesn't matter if he doesn't know the true face of his master, the important thing is that he is a disciple of He Lou Duhan, and because of his teaching, he often goes in and out of He Lou Mansion - that's enough!" ”

Xin Xian realized that Empress Wei did not have an ethereal hope and wanted to hear some important news from Lu Guanyun, but wanted to use Lu Guanyun's identity as a disciple of He Lou Duhan to induce him to say the confession that the queen wanted to hear!

As for saying that after Lu Guanyun did this, although Empress Wei had a reason to directly point to the Su family, he would definitely bear the reputation of betraying his teacher and his future would be ruined - this is not in Empress Wei's consideration, after all, she is the biological mother of the prince, not Lu Guanyun's biological mother!

It's just that Empress Wei didn't expect that Lu Guanyun looked lively and cheerful, but he was not easy to fool.

- I don't know if I listened to anyone's advice, or if I thought of it myself, when he played the right game, he could say one word and never say two words, and thoroughly implemented the concept of "less talk and less mistake", and he only answered questions that he could understand, as long as he noticed that the queen's words seemed to mean something else, he immediately pretended to be confused, or answered the wrong question.

The queen rebuked him with a heavy face, and he immediately knelt down to plead guilty, and asked himself to accept punishment.

said that he voluntarily accepted the punishment, but his father, King Hengshan, was guarding outside, not to mention that although the master-apprentice relationship was close, He Lou Duhan's own teacher and grandfather Gu Shao, although he was imprisoned, he was not punished much?

If Empress Wei punished Lu Guanyun alone, how could King Hengshan not pull Gu Shao out to make a cushion for his son? !

So after being fooled by Lu Guanyun for the first summons, he summoned this kid to him the next day, and the queen directly asked someone to lead him out of the apse and go to the edict to feel the truth under the glossy appearance of this world!

Who would have thought that this hand really scared Lu Guanyun - but after King Hengshan brought his son back and invited the imperial doctor, there was also a reason not to let Empress Wei summon his son again, he stood under the Danqi and beat his chest with tears on his feet, and said in a loud voice: "The minister has sent more than one black-haired person, please Your Majesty, Niangniang's mercy, Rong Chen's young son can send the minister to the end!" ”

Emperor Duanhua looked at the queen when he heard this, and the queen cast a glance indifferently and said: "Uncle Hengshan's love for his son is moving, but because of this, Uncle Wang should be more considerate of His Majesty and the palace - I think that the lord of Anyang County was not blooming back then, and it withered early because of the Song Lu family!" So two days ago, the matter of Jiangnan Tang's heir, His Majesty and the palace were also out of understanding Uncle Wang, and Quan Dang didn't know anything! ”

"Now that His Majesty and the only male heir in this palace have been assassinated and seriously injured on the couch, this eagerness to find out the real murderer, does Uncle Wang really bear it?"

Her words are tantamount to hinting at King Hengshan: Your son is not sensible, are you not sensible?

Earlier, let that kid hand over a confession that suited Bengong's heart, where would Bengong make it difficult for him again?!

It is not difficult to teach his son to make a confession, but King Hengshan understands that after doing so, it is equivalent to standing on the side of the Wei family - and the ancestral training of Hengshan Wangfu is not on the side of the throne in the battle between the throne and the big position!

What's more, even if King Hengshan wants to stand in line, he may not be willing to choose the Wei family!

First, the prince was seriously injured, and the king of Shu was young and did not have a reputation for being studious and intelligent, so it was much more difficult to support him than to support the prince; Second, it is because if the crown prince ascends the throne, it will not be of much benefit to the Hengshan Palace.

However, if King Su ascends the throne, the Yanhou Mansion, which has already revealed its attitude in the past two days, will have to have a share of support.

And Yan Hou and his wife have always treated Lu Guanyun well, so maybe the Hengshan Royal Mansion can still make some benefits?

So after hearing this, King Hengshan thought about it quickly, and continued to cry: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated, and the minister, as an uncle of the same clan, is naturally also grief-stricken!" It's just that I really don't know why He Lou Duhan is suddenly so frustrated?! ”

…… As for the matter of Jiangnantang's heir mentioned by Empress Wei, he didn't pay attention to it at all: after all, who will give Song Yibao and Song Yiyao a head start now?

Who is qualified to stand up for them?

Song Yi smiled because he had been raised by the Hengshan Palace, and refused to open this mouth at all!

Gu Shao is now unable to protect himself, let alone take care of this matter.

Even if the descendants of Jiangnan Hall still have one or two thoughts about the kindness of the old master, what can they do with a hereditary prince?

"Since Uncle Wang also feels that He Lou is cold and crazy, this palace is also relieved!" Hearing King Hengshan's refusal, Empress Wei's eyes were cold for a moment, and Fang continued, "In this way, it is even more important for Cousin Guanyun to recognize the true face of this person, so as not to be harmed by him and be mistaken for the rest of his life!" ”

The implication is that in the future, not only will he continue to summon Lu Guanyun for interrogation, but he will also continue to let him witness the current situation of He Lou Duhan with his own eyes, and even witness He Lou Duhan's punishment!

When King Hengshan heard this, he was silent for a moment before he said astringently: "Niangniang, my son Guanyun is still a child, and he is several years younger than the prince. Over the years, although the minister has tried his best to fulfill his father's responsibility, but in the end he cannot completely replace the princess's motherhood, his courage is not big, and after being frightened this time, he doesn't know when he will get better. If you go to prison again...... Minister...... The minister begged the mother! ”

At this point, he fell to his knees!

"Uncle Wang's children are on the line, and his grandchildren are also prosperous." Empress Wei just looked at him expressionlessly, "I still love Cousin Guanyun so much, but why can't I be considerate, the crown prince is the only blood and bone in this palace?!" ”

The last sentence, the queen almost shouted - in fact, at this moment, her nails are pinching into the palm of her hand!

There are no words to describe the queen's mood at the moment: since the assassination of the prince, not only did she know the real murderer but could not avenge the son, but even the people who supported the prince in the past have also wavered, including her outer family, including her family, have focused on studying how to support the king of Shu, and even Lu Hehao's accession to the throne!

Perhaps they didn't mean to fall into the trap, and some still have faint hopes for the prince's recovery.

But their behavior is like stabbing the queen in the heart again and again.

- After being assassinated, instead of getting the comfort and care he deserves, he is abandoned by his original supporters!

Empress Wei couldn't imagine what kind of blow the crown prince would be after waking up and knowing her current situation?

After all, such an encounter was expected for her - but the prince, who was still young and had been as smooth sailing as Emperor Duanhua in his early years, would accept all this calmly? Will he be able to accept it all in peace?

And when the time comes, how should Empress Wei, the biological mother, comfort him?

How can we comfort him?

After breaking up with King Hengshan, the emperor and queen sat in their original position and did not speak for a long time.

After a while, it was Emperor Duanhua who broke the silence: "Now that even Uncle Hengshan is not on our side, what should we do?" ”

“…… But after all, he still had to let Lu Guanyun continue to enter the palace for interrogation. When Empress Wei heard this, a layer of evil aura rose between her eyebrows, covering her tiredness, and said expressionlessly, "Since he cherishes this young son like this, I want to see how long he can last!" ”

Emperor Duanhua smiled bitterly: "It's up to you." ”

In the past two days, it was said that the emperor and queen had personally investigated the assassination of the prince, but in fact, all the people in charge were Empress Wei.

This is not only because Emperor Duanhua's removal from the throne is a foregone conclusion, and Empress Wei may still have the hope of being the queen mother - but also because Empress Wei no longer hides her talents and scheming now, in the disposal of many things, compared to Emperor Duanhua, she is simply resolute, often she has already thought about it all, what is the situation that Emperor Duanhua is still thinking about this matter?

After several times, the emperor finally realized the gap between himself and the queen, he was a little disheartened because of the removal of the throne, but now he really wants to avenge his son, so he no longer fights, just make a wallflower for the queen.

"Back then, the first emperor knew that the queen was the mastermind behind Han Ji's affairs, but he never told me, is it because the first emperor knew that the queen was clever and talented, and cherished her ability, so he didn't want to hurt the relationship between me and her?" Just watching the queen give orders in an orderly manner, Emperor Duanhua occasionally thought like this, "If I hadn't listened to Lu Hehao's words before and separated from the queen......"

With Empress Wei giving him advice like that, maybe he wouldn't have been so tired and depressed in the previous days - except for Zhu Qin and Gu Shao, there was no one to discuss.

But then I thought that the reason why I had been unguarded against Lu Hehao was because the queen concealed the suspicion that Lu Hehao was the mastermind of the smallpox last year!

In a sense, it was Empress Wei who caused him to be planted by Lu Hehao.

The emperor himself didn't know what his mood should be now, so he only thought heavily, "Ming'er's court meeting, I don't know what it will be?" ”

The next day's court meeting, everyone knew that it would definitely not be stable.

After all, these are extraordinary times.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that this heavenly court meeting had just begun, and there were chamberlains who came to pass on the empress dowager's decree.

The edict was not long, but the content caught everyone off guard: the Empress Dowager decided to succeed the King of Shu to the eldest princess of Chen Guo, who died early.

The reason is that she has always dreamed of the eldest princess of Chen Guo in the past two days, and originally planned to pick an heir for the eldest princess of Chen Guo from the side branch of the clan, but after hearing the news, the biological mother of the king of Shu and Concubine Xu tried her best to recommend her son.

For this reason, Concubine Xu insisted on kneeling on the Qingxi Hall for more than two hours yesterday - kneeling until the Empress Dowager was relieved before she was willing to get up!

The court was in an uproar!

Everyone in the Wei family almost wants to vomit blood!
