Chapter 577: The Solution
Even if Wei Manyao is favored, she is very afraid of the stern Wei Hongjie, and in the face of her brother's questioning at this time, she doesn't have the courage to confess everything in the suburbs truthfully.
At this moment, Dingxing Hou heard the news and stepped into the house with a cold face, "What happened?" Why is it rumored in the palace that Man Yao has been ruined by bandits, and there is another candidate for the position of the crown prince's side concubine? ! ”
Although they were originally very opposed to letting Wei Manyao enter the palace, the queen had already taken the lead and let all the civil and military officials know about it, and they could only push the boat along the river, and now the prince regretted it, which was even more embarrassing for the Wei family!
Wei Manyao frowned, shocked and discolored, "What ruined the reputation?" The daughter and daughter obviously don't have anything......"
She suddenly understood the stakes with a bang in her head, and she didn't care about the others and grabbed Mrs. Hou, "Mother, Man Yao is still innocent, how can they slander their daughter like that?" Besides, there are no bandits at all, it's the eldest brother......"
"Shut up! Why don't you hurry up and make it clear, how much does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?! ”
Wei Hongjie couldn't wait to strangle this sister who was not successful enough to do more than anything on the spot, but now she still cares about her position as a side concubine? Don't you know what kind of catastrophe she has caused!
Wei Manyao on the couch was so frightened that she trembled to meet Wei Hongjie's vicious eyes, and she was so aggrieved that she cried, so she had to answer honestly.
The hearts of everyone in the room immediately sank, and even Dingxinghou couldn't help but take a few steps back, almost unable to stand on his feet.
"W-What? It's not the county lord of Yongle that we arrested, it's the third princess, and it's ......"
And let Wei Hongfei's subordinates defile the golden branches and jade leaves! This is already a great sin of the Nine Clans!
No matter how powerful Wei Hongjie is, he understands that he has fallen into a trap, but he doesn't know what went wrong, why Xia Qianwei prepared in advance, and how did she get out of her shell and let the princess be this substitute ghost?
Mrs. Hou almost fainted, and just as everyone's hearts were shaken, Wei Hongjie suddenly opened his mouth calmly, "Is there any news from Prince Wei?" ”
You must know that it was Prince Wei who sent a letter to take the initiative to help them eradicate dissidents, but now that something has gone wrong, Prince Wei who is in the palace may be trying to save the situation!
"Cousin, don't expect extravagance from others, otherwise it's easy to be attacked like today!" Who knows, a joking voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked at the person in surprise, only to see that Mu Yan, the fourth prince who had been extremely busy during this time, appeared in front of them in a low-key manner.
Extravagant expectations?
Wei Hongjie's gloomy face met Mu Yan's slightly contemptuous eyes, had he forgotten how he had come to seek cooperation with kind words in the first place? Now that everything is going well and has been valued by His Majesty, do you plan to come and fall into the well?
However, the Marquis of Dingxing grabbed his annoyed son in time, and instead greeted Mu Yan with a smile, "Didn't the Fourth Highness bring the news?" ”
At this juncture, if the East Window incident happens, who would dare to come to the Hou Mansion to touch the mold, not afraid of being implicated?
It can be seen that the situation is not as grim as they imagined, otherwise Mu Yan, who had finally won the advantage, would have cleared up the relationship and left the Hou Mansion to fend for himself.
Of course, this snobbish and evil man did not appear here because of friendship, but everything in the Hou Mansion today is still worth his risk for Mu Yan!
"Sure enough, my uncle has eyes, the prince Wei in the palace is not quite right, if my cousin rushes there, I'm afraid he will only eat behind closed doors."
Wei Hongjie's eyes changed slightly, was he ridiculing himself for not having eyes?
Since he was a child, he has looked down on this imperial cousin who is pampered in the palace and will only cause trouble everywhere, compared to himself who began to fight at the border when he was young, Mu Yan is simply a wine bag and rice bag addicted to beauty!
There is not much brotherhood between their Wei brothers and Mu Yan at all, it can almost be said that they look down on each other, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial aunt took care of the Hou Mansion in the past, they didn't want to recognize this imperial relative at all.
At this time, Wei Hongjie was calm and stopped talking, he wanted to see what good ideas Mu Yan could have.
"Fourth Highness thinks Prince Wei is suspicious?" The Marquis of Dingxing captured the key to this, and Mu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Could it be that Uncle Fei trusts him very much?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Dingxing Hou immediately pursed his lips and pulled away a stiff smile with a little embarrassment.
In fact, as early as when Wei Hongjie was at the border, King Jin had already ordered someone to secretly win them over, Chen Guo was prosperous on the surface, but in fact it had long been decayed, their warriors were despised, and the court and the central government were all in power by Wenchen, how could people be convinced?
And King Jin's appreciation for the three Wei brothers gradually moved them, and people went to high places, why did they submit to a cowardly and incompetent Emperor Chen?
After some contact, they learned that Wei Xuanqi, the prince of Yunguo, had already cooperated with King Jin, so when he received a letter from Prince Wei from the palace, saying that he was willing to help them eradicate Xia Qianwei and give King You a heavy blow, he naturally didn't think about it.
Now it sounded as if they had been calculated by Prince Wei.
Mu Yan saw through it and didn't say anything, of course he knew that there was some kind of unknown cooperative relationship between the Wei family and Prince Wei, and he also knew that they secretly had dealings with King Jin, otherwise King Jin would not be so abnormal in Beijing and Hangzhou, which made Wei Hongjie in the limelight.
"I heard that Prince Wei has been hiding in the palace for the past two days and has not seen any guests, which is really inconsistent with his eight-sided and exquisite temperament, I guess it has something to do with the matter of the county lord of Yongle."
"......" everyone's hearts sank, did they really fall for Prince Wei?
I saw Mu Yan take out a strange doll from his sleeve and throw it in front of them, with someone's eight characters written on it, "This is something from the Palace of the Three Emperor Sisters." ”
Mrs. Hou on the side couldn't help but take a few steps back in disgust, they, the women of the back house, naturally knew this kind of disgusting technique, but they never thought that the princess of a dignified country would dare to touch such a dirty method that could easily invite disaster.
"The third emperor sister couldn't succeed because of the forced marriage of Leng Yuhan, so she sneaked out of the palace and prepared to go to the nearby Taoist temple to ask for a charm, but she was robbed by bandits on the way, as for the few who fell into the hands of King You...... Already committed suicide. ”
The Ghost King? Those people were not taken away by the crown prince, why did they ......
Wei Hongjie immediately understood that the prince wanted to borrow the hand of King Youwang to get rid of them!
Therefore, there is no basis for what she said, even if those few people really recruited, the Dingxing Marquis Mansion could shout injustice in front of the saint, and the matter of the third princess who would anger the saint the most, since it was her heart to harm people in front, it could be regarded as the retribution of Tianli Zhaozhao.
At this time, Mu Yan had already looked at Wei Manyao who was stunned on the couch with a sympathetic gaze, "It's just a pity cousin." ”
These words were full of endless deep meaning, and Dingxing Hou and Wei Hongjie immediately reacted.
If Wei Manyao was also ruined by the bandits, this would be more than enough to prove that the Hou Mansion was innocent, and they couldn't instruct their subordinates to do anything wrong to their daughter, right?
In this way, the Hou Mansion has also become the victim party, and the identification of the Youwang has also become a kind of nonsense and framing!
Wei Manyao didn't know what fate awaited her at this moment, but Wei Hongjie had already looked at her deeply, and threw away a sentence indifferently, "Little sister, your sacrifice has brought life to the Hou Mansion, and the eldest brother will definitely choose another family business for you, and will not let you be wronged." ”
W-What?! What does this mean......
