Volume 6: The Song Floats Ninety-Nine: Walking Horses and Pepper Houses Turn the Tent

Standing in the attic at the corner of Shanglin Yuan, Chen Xi watched coldly as the henchmen of Sun He, the Marquis of Nanyuan, rode their horses and galloped towards Chang'an.

"Young Master Xi," the attendant beside him asked puzzledly, "Why didn't you come forward to stop them?" ”

"I just want the Wei family to know." Chen Xi looked down lightly at the round shoes on his feet, and a trace of anger flashed at the bottom of his eyes: "No one can hurt my aunt, and the Wei family, since they dare to do it, they will have to pay the price." ”

"Murdering the emperor's heir is really not a small crime." Seeing the waiter's blank expression, he smiled slightly and said, "Even if her husband is the queen, she can't carry it." When the Wei family gets the news, they must take action. And this action, "he clenched his fist lightly", is what I want to see, and it is also ironclad evidence that the Wei family will never turn over. ”

"The young master is clever." The attendant lowered his hand respectfully.

"Don't mention that." Chen Xi smiled slightly and asked, "Madame is okay." ”

"Tangyi Marquis Mansion just sent a letter, the second young lady, everything is fine, and Miss Man is fine. According to the instructions of the second young master, the slave maid also kept the situation here shut down and handed it over to someone to bring back to Beijing. ”

"That's good." Chen Xi smiled and said, "Uncle Sang is in Chang'an, he knows what to do." "Three pegasus horses were chased and intercepted on the road, and in the end, only two of them reached Chang'an. Because Weiyang Palace could not be easily entered, they entered the Changping Marquis Mansion and the Wei Changjun Mansion respectively.

Hou Weiqing of Changping felt his heart sink when he heard the advice of the visitor. Seeing that the person had already collapsed, he asked, "Are you the only one who came out to report the news?" ”

"Nope. And one more. The person who came reluctantly said, "I entered the mansion of the eldest brother of the Hou Ye." ”

"I see." Wei Qing said: "You go down and rest first." "I don't change clothes either. led the horse directly to Weiyang Palace.

His Majesty is not in Weiyang Palace. The queen mother passed away for a long time, and the queen was honored in the palace. Wei Qing entered the Jiaofang Palace, but Wei Changjun had already been there, and Wei Zifu had already known about it.

"This salutation." Wei Zifu hated to clasp his fists on the case, "How can this palace clean up for him if he provokes such a big crime?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not a matter of respect itself." Wei Changjun sighed: "Chen Wei has been opposed for a long time, and the Chen family will not let us go of such a good opportunity." How we forced Chen Ajiao to be deposed back then, and Chen Wei's two families will never forget. ”

Wei Qing wanted to say something. But he finally held back. Although the Wei family has walked on thin ice, there is a possibility of capsizing at any time. But when people contemptuously called her name, there seemed to be a thorn in her heart. Faintly unhappy.

"Brother Qing." Wei Changjun looked at Wei Qingdao. "What can you do?" Although he is the son of the Wei family, he is inferior to Wei Qing in terms of prestige and ability. In fact, over the years, the Wei family has long been accustomed to it, and Wei Qing's opinion is the standard, and when it comes to such a critical point, it is natural to look at other places.

"Respond to change with the same." Wei Qing groaned: "No matter how the Chen family makes a move, we will only accept it." Your Majesty is the British lord after all, as long as we don't offend him, we will lose at most one salute in the end. ”

"Princess," the maid exclaimed from outside the palace.

Wei Zifu raised his voice and reprimanded: "What's the matter? ”

"Queen Qiyu," the maid outside the palace said in a hurry, "Wei Changgong has given birth." ”

Wei Zifu's face changed, and he hurriedly went down to the palace, but saw Liu Fei leaning outside the palace gate with the support of Cai Wei, holding his stomach, and a little sweat seeping down his forehead.

"Why don't you go and call the imperial doctor and Wen Po," Wei Zifu ordered steadily, and asked someone to help Liu Fei in, then turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The princess got up in the morning to say hello to the queen." Cai Wei's face was also a little white, and she said reluctantly, "But unexpectedly, the princess's two uncles are here." The princess said she would go in later. As a result, after listening outside the door for a while, I suddenly hugged my stomach and cried out that it hurt. ”

"Queen Mother," the doctor diagnosed the pulse, and said, "Princess Wei, this is a sign that she is frightened and is about to be born prematurely. Princess Wei Chang's body has always been weak, and her mood has been poor since she was pregnant, and this baby seems to be extremely dangerous. ”

"Okay," Wei Zifu said upsetly, "You give Bengong a good life, look at the princess, if something happens to the princess or the child in her womb, Bengong is the only one who asks." ”

The imperial doctor bowed down and said, "Just do your best." ”

After staying up for nearly two hours, Liu Fei gave birth to a pair of daughters and daughters as the eldest sister, and the boy was no longer breathing when he landed.

"Niangniang's Day mourning" knelt down in the Jiaofang Palace, and the maids of the underground palace were waiting.

Wei Zifu closed his eyes, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and said, "Let Bengong take a look at Bengong's grandson." ”

The baby's eyebrows were delicate but cold, as if he had just fallen asleep, and not just been born, and he had not opened his eyes to look at the relatives he had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Is this retribution?" Wei Zifu muttered: "The Wei family harmed her, Chen Ajiao lost a child, but she was retributed to Fei'er?" ”

Wei Qing was also very sad, and stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, now is not the time to be sad, Fei'er is more important." On the couch, Liu Fei used up his last strength and fell into a coma.

"Listen," Wei Zifu looked around at the people in the Jiaofang Palace, waiting for the queen's majesty to appear, "Princess Wei Chang only gave birth to a daughter, which is held in the hands of this palace, if someone says the wrong thing in front of the princess, don't blame this palace for not sparing him." ”

Everyone in the Jiaofang Hall responded in unison with the word "yes".

"Niangniang" Cai Qing came in in a panic, "Tingwei Shi came to Jiaofang Palace, I don't know the intention." ”

Wei Zifu was stunned, looked at Zhang Tang coldly, brought someone in, and reprimanded angrily: "Bold, foreign ministers are not allowed to trespass into the inner hall, Lord Zhang, as a court official, don't you know this rule?" ”

"Of course, the ministers know this rule." Zhang Tang smiled and said, "It's just that the ministers have a holy order, and they can only come in."

Wei Zifu gradually calmed down and said lightly: "What is Tingwei Shi's order?" "Where is Your Highness?"

Wei Zifu's face changed dramatically: "What are you looking for him?" ”

News from Gongsun He. There is no matter that Gongsun Jingsheng confessed that Liu Ju was the mastermind.

"I was ordered that the second son of the emperor, Liu Ju, as a prince, did not think about self-cultivation. intended to harm Princess Yuening, causing Chen Niangniang to set up a horse. The emperor's heir is lost, and now the Tingwei Mansion is interrogated by the emperor's second son, Liu. ”

"I wouldn't do such a thing." Wei Zifu lost his voice.

"Could it be that the minister has the final say?" Although Zhang Tangdi's words were always respectful and polite, he did not give an inch, "Queen Mother." Please do not obstruct the minister's official business. ”

"Queen Mother," an indifferent voice came from the Jiaofang Palace, "The Queen Mother doesn't have to be embarrassed, and her son just goes with him." Liu got the news and walked out of the Jiaofang Palace. At this time, he was only eleven years old, but he looked gentle and calm, not like a child who was arrogant and indulged by his mother's side.

"According to the child," Wei Zifu turned around and called, his eyes were red. I almost shed tears, but in the end, I remembered my identity as the queen of the land, and I couldn't hold back.

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry about her son." Liu Ju's body was faint. But he said, "I haven't done this. And it is believed that the child is convinced. After all, the father is also a son, and the father will not easily wronged his son. "But." Wei Zifu said sadly: "You have been incomparably delicate since you were a child, how can you ever suffer such a wrongful and suffer like this?" ”

"Queen Mother" Liu Ju also knelt down and wept: "Since ancient times, it has been said that the monarch wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die; The Father wants the Son to die, and the Son has to die. The son has two of them, and there is nothing to complain about. Just ask the queen mother not to be sad for her son. also said to the royal sister on behalf of her son, the imperial sister had just given birth to a daughter, but it was too late to congratulate her. ”

"Your Highness," Wei Qing looked at him and said, "In the past, I always thought that you were too arrogant, but now I have some responsibility to look at Your Highness." ”

Liu Ju reluctantly smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle, for your compliment." He got up and said softly in front of Zhang Tang, "Let's go." ”

Zhang Tang looked at him with a smile and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please." ”

Wei Zifu gritted his teeth and looked at his son's distant figure, his nails were clasped in his skin, and he was almost pinched to blood. Wei Qing's heart was frightened, and he hurriedly called, "Third sister." ”

Wei Zifu was stunned, and then he came to his senses and looked at him in a daze.

"Let's not make a noise to the Captain of the Guard." Wei Qing said, "Let's talk to the inner hall." ”

After repatriating everyone, Wei Zifu complained: "How can he do this? ”

"Queen Mother" even Wei Changjun felt that something was wrong, and hesitated. "How could he do that?" Wei Zifu seemed to ignore it and said in tears: "He can pay the military power of the young brother, he can never set foot in the Jiaofang Palace again, and he can not see Fei'er Jun'er, but how can he even take away my only hope?" That's the son he's been looking forward to. ”

"Third sister," Wei Qing called sharply, "If you still want to be well, and my Wei family is full of lives, forget all these words, never think about it again, no matter how bitter it is, you have to grit your teeth and endure it." ”

"I've been putting up with it for seven years." Wei Zifu said angrily: "Since the sixth year of Yuanshuo, since Chen Ajiao came back, I have been enduring it again. I watched him walk up to the woman and never look at me again. I saw that he gradually suppressed the Wei family, and even put me, the queen, under house arrest for a time. What did I get in exchange for putting up with it for so long? My grandson died tragically, and my son was beaten into the court by his father's own hands. "Mother, you don't even have a reason to understand things." Wei Qing was also enraged, but still persuaded: "Although His Royal Highness was detained, Zhang Tang did not have the courage to deal with the prince. As long as Chen Niangniang wakes up, His Majesty is calm, and he will naturally be able to find out the truth and return His Royal Highness's innocence. ”

"What if," Wei Zifu's heart jumped, and he looked straight at him, "What if Chen Ajiao dies?" ”

"That," Wei Qing closed her eyes and said slowly, "That's when my Wei family is full of people to accompany her to the funeral." ”

"In this way," Wei Zifu sneered, "I still have to hope that she Chen Ajiao will not wake up sooner." ”

"Brother Qing," she lowered her head tiredly and said softly, "Look at how much I swallow my anger as a queen." ”

I have the impression that when the woman sat in the back seat, she was so commanding and high-spirited. She was as humble as an ant before it. I never thought that the years passed, the scene was reversed, and it was still her who lost.

"Why?"

In this deep Weiyang Palace, the most stable is the heart of the monarch, and the most volatile is also the heart of the king. Once Junxin is gone, it will be in vain to say anything.
