Chapter 128: The Old Man Meets Again
ο»Ώ
Duanmu Xinmiao was surprised: "Oh? Who is it? β
Wei Changying smiled and said, "You wait a while!" "Then he turned his head and called someone" to invite the people who were sent from yesterday's scene to come. β
Only then did he explain to Duanmu Xinmiao, "I sent someone to look for it earlier, but there has been no news." Coincidentally, I actually called my niece Jing'er to meet me yesterday. No, she didn't know what to do, so she sent someone over to ask me for advice. I'm also thinking about it, what you came to talk about Xin Miao gave me an idea - of course, you have to be willing by yourself, if you don't want it, then forget it. β
Duanmu Xinmiao became more and more confused, and waited curiously.
A moment later, the two of them, wearing hoods, were pushed into the hall. Although I can't see the face clearly, I also know by looking at the figure that they are all women.
Originally, before Duanmu Xinmiao wanted to tell Wei Changying about the matter, this place was cleared once. So seeing that they came in, Wei Changying suggested: "Take off your hat, you all know each other, why hide it here?" β
The two of them hesitated and took off their hats, and Duanmu Xinmiao looked down suspiciouslyβthe six eyes met, and the leader of the two people in the hall immediately turned his head.
But a short glance also made Duanmu Xinmiao suspicious, and muttered, "It's very familiar...... I must have seen, who is it? β
Wei Changying smiled slightly, did not give her a puzzle, but made a gesture to the two people, the woman in charge hesitated for a moment, and then sat down, and the other woman stood behind her with her hands down, as if she was a master and a servant.
After a while, Duanmu Xinmiao suddenly slapped a few cases, pointed at the two and shouted, "Liu Ruoyu?!" You're still alive! β
No wonder she was so shocked, the crown princess in the past, even if her husband died, Liu Ruoyu, who was still Queen Heng - Duanmu Xinmiao had heard Wei Changying say that she and her half-sister, Liu Ruoye, the most outstanding concubine of the Donghu Liu family in recent years, were still alive, and even Liu Ruoye was inferred to be ten out of ten related to the death of Zhou Jianxian and Deng Wanwan, but because no one could be found before, the matter was put on hold - there have been so many things in the past two years, and the Duanmu family is not stable, and Duanmu Xinmiao has forgotten the past!
If it weren't for the fact that although Liu Ruoyu has experienced several years of upheaval, she is older and has changed a lot than before, but the outline of the past is still there, Duanmu Xinmiao would never have thought of her.
"Huh!" Looking at her shocked appearance, Liu Ruoyu was very calm, just a sigh.
She ignored Duanmu Xinmiao's meaning, but looked at Wei Changying: "Mrs. Wei, you called me, what are you going to do?" β
"You are my sister-in-law's favorite sister, and Jing'er and Ming'er also respect you." When Wei Changying called for someone to bring her and her maid over, she had already thought about it, "Originally, you were bumped into by Jing'er, and according to Jing'er, I wanted to ask me to send you back to Liu's house." β
There was a pause at this point.
Sure enough, a desolate smile appeared on Liu Ruoyu's lips: "Liu family? I have always been dispensable in the Liu family, except for the seventh sister, my biological father still does not pity me, where do other clansmen have the strength to pay attention to me? Besides, I've always married Shen Xun's person, Shen Xun died, and I haven't heard from me until now, I'm afraid that if I go back, I'm also persuaded to be martyred, right? In particular, Shen Xun was also the former prince of Wei! β
"If you don't want to go back to Liu's house, then I'll settle you." Wei Changying said calmly, "But in this case, I'm afraid you won't have the status of a warrior." Unless you happen to be able to get the identity of a scholar woman who is similar in appearance to you, but also missing, and whose genealogical records are unknown. β
Liu Ruoyu said indifferently: "The identity of the scholar clan has never been a blessing for me. I'd rather be born in a poor family, my parents love each other, and they are in harmony with each other, but unfortunately, I don't have that life. β
Wei Changying nodded and said, "Since you agreed to do this, then I will go back and get you an identity." For example, if it is not peaceful today, the Rong people went south in the past, and burned the registers of many state capitals, and now they are being reissued one after another, which is just right. β
"Mrs. Wei is kind, I understand it." Unexpectedly, Liu Ruoyu said again: "But I still hope that you can let me go free." β
"What are you free to do?" Duanmu Xinmiao felt that Liu Ruoyu was really confused, and when she looked at her face and the clothes on her body, she knew that even if she survived by luck in the past two years and returned to the imperial capital, her life must not be much better - in this case, Wei Changying is willing to remember Liu Ruoyi's old and treat her well, why should she refuse such an opportunity?
But Wei Changying knew that at this moment, he repaid Duanmu Xinmiao for not hiding Queen Qiu's eyeliner, and said to Liu Ruoyu straightforwardly, "Go and continue to find Liu Ruoye for revenge?" She is now hidden by Liu Ruowo, you are unwilling, or dare not go back to Liu's house, just for fear that Liu Ruowo will poison you, right? But if you continue to fight alone like this, what can you do to get Liu Ruoye's sister and brother? β
Duanmu Xinmiao was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Ruoyu and asked, "Why did Liu Ruoye go back to Liu's house?" Didn't hear that! β
"Now the Liu family is my cousin-in-law, Liu Shili is in charge." Wei Changying drank. tea, said, "Xin Miao, you also know that he and Liu Ruowo are on the opposite side." But because the elders on both sides who were originally optimistic about them were gone, Liu Bozhao, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wei Yuan, became the lord of the Liu family, and he was far above Liu Shili and had deep qualifications. If Liu Shili hadn't persuaded Liu Ruowo, the two of them would have joined hands, and with the help of outsiders they had secretly obtained, how could they defeat Liu Bozhao - so now Liu Ruowo's status in the Donghu Liu family is not low. Even if I go to intercede with Liu Shili, he will definitely not do anything to Liu Ruowo for Ruoyu. β
Wei Changying said lightly: "In this way, what's so difficult for him to take in Liu Ruoye?" If it weren't for Liu Ruoye's considerable decline in the past few years, and he was afraid that he would rashly recognize the Liu family and say something bad to the Liu family-now that it is at this juncture to discuss the reward, I am afraid that the news that Miss Eleventh of the Liu family has been found would have spread long ago! β
Duanmu Xinmiao listened, and before she could say anything, Liu Ruoyu suddenly burst into tears: "So many people died in the fall of the imperial capital, and my father also died, why is Liu Ruowo fine, and now he is still in power in the Liu family?!" Could it be that our mother and daughter owed Zhang Shaoguang's mother and son in their previous lives, and my mother is not enough to pay it back in this life, and I deserve to see their scenery and fall myself? ! Even though it is wishful thinking for me to take revenge myself, I will just let it go...... Mrs. Wei, I'm afraid I'll live up to your expectations. So you better leave me alone, I'm afraid, it's dragging you down! β
"Third sister-in-law, what you just said I told you, these two people are just right, what does that mean?" Duanmu Xinmiao glanced at her - she was not very familiar with Liu Ruoyu before, and now Liu Ruoyu didn't pay much attention to her, although Duanmu Xinmiao felt that Liu Ruoyu was quite pitiful, but she was also impatient to coax her with good words - Liu Ruoyu may not be able to listen to it now.
So Duanmu Xinmiao simply asked Wei Changying directly.
"The queen Qiu in the palace is weak, and the only eldest prince she gave birth to is still alive, and she is very unpopular with the new emperor." Wei Changying made a calm gesture to Duanmu Xinmiao, and said to Liu Ruoyu, "Don't you think Queen Qiu is very pitiful?" β
Liu Ruoyu was a little dazed, thought about it for a while before waking up, and said, "Do you want me to go to Queen Qiu's side?" β
"If you want revenge, this is the only chance." Wei Changying said calmly, "Queen Qiu was born in the countryside, she can be a good wife, but she may not be able to be a good queen - but she will definitely not be willing to be the only remaining young son after the death of her three biological sons in the war, she was snubbed by the new emperor, and she has not been able to return to the imperial capital to reunite with her!" β
"Empress Qiu needs the assistance of someone who understands the palace fighting, she doesn't have such a person by her side now, and even if she does, she doesn't necessarily dare to believe it rashly - who knows if Concubine Shan was sent to lead her to make a mistake so as to take her back seat? But you're different. β
"You used to be the crown princess of the previous dynasty, and you are the most familiar with the dispute between the palace and the palace, right? What's more, the identity of Shan Guifei is not only Shan Guifei, but now in the harem, no one is qualified to call you to be a secret room! β
After Wei Changying finished speaking, she quietly waited for Liu Ruoyu's answer.
Liu Ruoyu was silent for a moment and said, "Then what do you want?" I heard that the eldest prince once stayed in the Shen family, and now he is in your mother's house, are you planning to put pressure on Queen Qiu and the eldest prince? I have to remind you that Liu Ruowo didn't dare to recognize Liu Ruoye directly, because Liu Ruoye has fallen a lot over the years, and rashly admitting her will definitely lose the face of the Liu family - but I have been entangled with her all the way, and I may not be clean! So it's not difficult for Queen Qiu to find out my roots. β
"What about finding out?" Wei Changying asked rhetorically: "Will you face the Donghu Liu family?" β
Liu Ruoyu didn't even think about it: "Of course not!" β
"Will you obviously favor the Shen family?"
ββ¦β¦ When it comes to Jing'er and Shu Ming, I'm definitely going to ......"
Wei Changying shook his head and said: "Just because you want to take revenge on Liu Ruoye, even if the new emperor knows your details, it is estimated that he will pretend to be confused." Do you think the new emperor likes us nobles very much?! And you go to the queen's side - in the end, the new emperor wants you to disappear, that's a matter of eyes. You have nothing to do with Miss Liu Jiashi on the surface-how jealous will the new emperor be of you? You don't even have a proper identity now! β
Duanmu Xinmiao couldn't help but interject: "Third sister-in-law, the new emperor favors Shan Guifei, will he tolerate the queen to accept Liu Ruoyu to deal with Shan Guifei?" β
"No matter how much the new emperor loves Concubine Shan, he will definitely love his country more!" Wei Changying sneered, "There is no country, a beauty like Shan Guifei will be willing to serve him?!" There are rivers and mountains, there are no single concubines and double concubines - there are many beauties in the world! You see that the new emperor doesn't even care much about his sons and daughters, do you know that the new emperor is the kind of person who will be confused by beauty? Now that Concubine Shan is glamorous in the six palaces, she is young, and she can serve people, and the new emperor certainly likes her the most in the palace. But it's hard to talk about it later...... Besides, what did the new emperor do when he exposed Ruoyu's identity? Ruoyu entered the palace, nothing more than to use the imperial power to avenge Liu Ruowo and Liu Ruoye, she succeeded because the Liu family suffered, she couldn't succeed, and it was she who deceived the queen and the Liu family's infighting, what happened to Emperor Guan Xin? Xindi is ready to watch a lively, maybe there is a cheap advantage! β
At this time, Liu Ruoyu also said lightly: "The new emperor will not take me as a little woman, to be honest, I don't think I can help Queen Qiu to the point of letting her eldest prince ascend the throne." How many of the founding kings of history are simple? Even though I've been in the palace, I know how important I am. Earlier Emperor Huanzong ......"
Speaking of this, Wei Changying interrupted and reminded her: "A few days ago, the court and the central government rediscussed the names of the emperors at the end of Wei, and Wei Huan changed his name to mourning, and now it is time to call him Emperor Wei Ai. β
Liu Ruoyu nodded: "Since you are going to enter the palace, these should be remembered-I don't know what Wei Shu and Emperor Xingping have talked about?" β
"Because of the matter of the East Gate, there is no one in the Shi clan who does not hate him, so he was cut off as Emperor Wei and his nickname was not left...... Emperor Xingping is a complete puppet, the Ministry of Rites is too lazy to bother to work hard, so he simply didn't mention it, and the new emperor probably forgot about it. β
Liu Ruoyu didn't say anything, but his eyes were in a trance for a moment before he continued: "Earlier, Emperor Wei Ai was considered mediocre, but he was able to be mediocre for so long, how could he not know anything about the harem?" It's just that he doesn't want to pay attention to it. β
Wei Changying smiled lightly and said: "The current situation of our Shen family, everyone outside knows it in their hearts, how can they get involved in any prince dispute?" I'm just thinking about my sister-in-law's affection before, and I want to help you. If you are willing to calm down and live a good life, I will arrange it for you; You must take revenge, I can't accompany you, and I don't want you to drag Jing'er into the water with Shu Ming, so after thinking about it, it is most appropriate to send you to Queen Qiu's side! β
After a pause, he said, "In the end, you also called me Sister Wei back then, in fact, I still hope that you will use a commoner, or I will discuss with Liu Shili, and you will ...... as the daughter of Liu's distant branch."
"I'd better go into the palace." Liu Ruoyu said lightly, "No matter what, my mother's revenge must be avenged, and it must be avenged thoroughly, isn't it?" β
