Wei Shuping was afraid of provoking the suspicion of exchanging news, so he wanted Mrs. Wei not to send anything to Qinghe Wangfu. But he thought about it, Wei Yangyang gave birth to a child, and it was natural for his mother's family to send some congratulatory gifts, if it was to avoid suspicion, it would arouse suspicion.

On the day Wei Shuping's daughter Wei Yangyang was born, his father Wei Guanying died on the battlefield. Therefore, he was ordered to be in danger, and at the age of thirty-one, he became the commander-in-chief of the western part of Shanghai. Until last year, when Wei Yangyang married into the royal family, he was awarded the title of Uncle Pingyuan and moved to Huadu, and he was in charge of the Wei family army for a total of 19 years.

Wei Shuping knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and with the glory and mission of his family, he had led his troops diligently and loyal to the emperor for 19 years, which won the trust of the emperor. But he doesn't form gangs and doesn't participate in court battles, which doesn't mean that others can arbitrarily bully the Wei family.

Wei Shuping has experienced more than 100 battles in his life, large and small, and is a very experienced general. Since he got the news that Wei Bingyue brought back late at night on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, he immediately thought that the Wei family must be stable and not panic. On the battlefield, whoever panics first will have a much higher chance of failure. No matter how the enemy bravados, trusting one's own judgment is the most important thing.

After figuring out this joint, he instructed Mrs. Wei to send the prepared items to the Qinghe Palace, and brought someone to inform the third son, Wei Bingge, that according to the original life, he would come to the Earl's Mansion every day to greet him as usual.

According to Wei Shuping's instructions, Mrs. Wei sent a clever mother-in-law to deliver things to Qinghe Wangfu every few days. This mother-in-law's surname is Ding, and when she came to the palace that day, it was Director Zhao of the Criminal Department who was in charge of the inspection. Mrs. Ding instructed the maid who came with her to open all the boxes for Director Zhao to see.

She pointed to the food boxes and said, "When a mother is confined, her taste is very picky. Although the food in the palace was good, the countess was afraid that the princess would not be used to eating them, so she made these Haixi delicacies herself, wanting the princess to change her taste. ”

The Haixi region produces wheat, but not rice, so the staple food that Haixi people like to eat is made of flour. Director Zhao saw that there were many steamed cakes, sugar cakes, and a very beautiful jujube flower bun in the box.

The purpose of the Criminal Department sending officials to Qinghe Wangfu was to fear that someone would pass on the news to come in, as long as there was nothing with words in the box, everything else could be released. Lord Zhao apologized to Mrs. Ding in advance, saying that he was responsible for his duties and had to be carefully checked. Then he asked Mrs. Ding to cut all the pastries open to see if there was a note hidden inside.

After Mrs. Ding broke all the pastries with her own hands, and after Director Zhao checked it, he ordered the maids of the palace to send the food box to the princess. Mrs. Ding knew that the food box could enter, but she couldn't go in, and she didn't say much, politely thanked Director Zhao, and returned to the Earl's Palace.

After Wei Yangyang received the food box, she ordered the camellia to open it, and she saw at a glance that the dates on the jujube flower bun inside, as well as the order of the steamed cakes, were a little abnormal. Because the female doctor who took care of her and the nurse of the child in the house were both sent by the queen, she was afraid that people would find something abnormal, so she hurriedly reached out to disrupt the order of the steamed cakes, and broke off a piece of jujube bun and put it in her mouth and began to eat.

The Weijia army usually fights, if it is necessary to beat the enemy, the flag soldier will play the flag "true", and when the front-line general sees it, he will order the soldiers to go all out to duel with the enemy; If it is necessary for troops to feint and confuse the enemy, the flag will be "fake", and the general who receives the order will lead his troops to fight and retreat, leading the enemy to the pre-arranged ambush site. These true and false flags, how the colors of the flags are arranged, will be changed before each battle, and the enemy army will not be able to guess the battle plan of the Weijia Army based on the flags they see.

And Wei Yangyang saw that the order of the dates and steamed cakes added up, which was the flag "true". And this arrangement was used by the Wei family when she was eleven years old, and now it is long gone, even if it is seen by outsiders, it doesn't matter. But she knew that the stakes were high, otherwise her mother would not have gone to great lengths to send someone in. She was very cautious and ate a date at the first time, and the rest of the arrangement would be meaningless.

And Mrs. Wei's mind was even more ingenious, when the food box was sent in, in fact, the steamed cakes were just arranged casually. When Mrs. Ding broke the steamed cake according to Director Zhao's request, she inadvertently changed the position of the steamed cake, which could form the flag she wanted to express. She did this unconsciously in front of Director Zhao, and Director Zhao did not suspect it at all.

The flag language can only play some simple and specific commands during combat, such as: forward, backward, attack, no ambush, etc., and cannot convey some very complex content. Because he couldn't hand in paper and items with words, Wei Shuping couldn't express his thoughts in detail.

Wei Yangyang thought repeatedly in his heart, what does "true" mean? She thought of what Shen Mingyuan said a few days ago, and her father, Wei Shuping, wore a hairpin that "the whole army attacked", and she added up the two sentences and began to think about her father's intentions.

"The whole army attacked" is easy to understand, which means that the Wei family will avenge her at any cost and by any means. But what does "true" mean? She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of a reason. There is only one word in this flag sentence, which is really hard to guess.

At this time, the child didn't know whether he was hungry or urinated, and he cried, and the nurse hurriedly fed the child. But the child did not feed, and when he saw someone talking to him, he immediately stopped crying and giggled.

The nurse flattered Wei Yangyang and said: "Our little prince is not really hungry, but we just want to attract people to come and chat with him." Xiao Shizi is worthy of being the grandson of Lord Wei, he was born to know the art of war, and he knows the truth of fiction and reality very well. ”

"Fiction and reality!" Wei Yangyang's heart moved. Yes, isn't the true and the false just the real and the false? When fighting, the order is really to actually fight the enemy, not to feint. The "truth" sent in by his father was to tell himself "truth", and when he first met the queen in the Baiyun Temple, Shen Mingyuan told him that it was also true.

She still remembered what Shen Mingyuan said at that time: "The lady of the Sincere Hou Mansion has a very noble status. After a while, she asks you something, and you answer truthfully, and you must not lie to her. "Yes, if Wei Yangyang lied at that time, even if it was only one sentence, if it was found out by the queen later, it would definitely leave a bad impression on her.

Once someone knows that something is not true, people will doubt everything they say. Then what the father had to tell himself was: "You must answer the questions of the officials of the criminal department truthfully, and there must not be a word of adulteration." "It must be so!

After thinking about Wei Shuping's intentions, Wei Yangyang put her mind at ease, she only needed to describe what she encountered that day in detail and truthfully to the people in the Criminal Department.

But Shen Minghuang's side is not as simple as Wei Yangyang has to do. Although the people in the Criminal Department kept the case secret, he still heard more or less about the killing of the guards of the Qinghe Palace, and the serious injury of Wei Yangyang. He only sent five people to pretend to be kidnappers to "invite" Song Wenru that day, and he also specially explained that those people should be polite to Song Wenru and not hurt her.

Even Wei Yangyang really thought that he had encountered a kidnapper and ordered the guards to fight them. But without their own instructions, those people would never dare to kill people in the streets. Now that there is a murder, there is only one reason: the Assassins have other people besides the five they have sent!

This is troublesome, the five people have never come back to restore their lives, and Song Wenru also returned to the Song Mansion safely, obviously they went wrong halfway and did not succeed. Regardless of whether those five people were killed or arrested, if the criminal department found out about them, they would not be able to tell them in any case.

Do you want to tell the officials of the Criminal Department that they sent someone just to kidnap Miss Shangshufu, who would believe this? Even if people are really willing to believe it, if Song Wenzhuo knows about it, he still can't turn his face with himself? This reason must never be said to anyone else. But in addition to this reason, then only he was jealous of King Qinghe, so he sent someone to assassinate the princess, which is even worse!

Shen Minghuang knew the methods of the officials of the Criminal Department, and no matter whether the kidnappers were dead or alive now, they could always find something out of the kidnappers. Before the people from the Criminal Department came to the door, he had to quickly think of a countermeasure.

Shen Minghuang thought of hundreds of reasons, but he felt ridiculous, and he couldn't explain why he sent people to attack the carriage of the Qinghe Palace. No, the carriage of the Qinghe Palace? The people he sent that day had been ambushing at the gate of Mingyue Tower, and the order he received was only to kidnap Miss Song Mansion. Therefore, those people saw that Song Wenru got into someone else's car, and without receiving Shen Minghuang's order to stop acting, they followed Wei Yangyang's carriage all the way, waiting for the opportunity to start.

On weekdays, the carriages of the royal family and nobles will be hung with their own logos to represent their status. But that day, Wei Yangyang's carriage was transformed by Shen Mingyuan. Because the car looked a little weird, for fear of affecting the image of the royal family, there was no sign of Qinghe Palace, and the kidnappers did not know that Song Wenru was in the car of Princess Qinghe.

Since the people on his side didn't know that it was Princess Qinghe, the other team of assassins was so ruthless, obviously not to deal with Wen Ru, but to Wei Yangyang. In the eight months since she was pregnant, Wei Yangyang has only attended six banquets. The person who sent the assassin knew that it was her carriage, and he had to know in advance that she would appear in Mingyue Tower that day, so the scope was greatly narrowed.

Shen Minghuang thought about all the people who knew the list of banquets that day, because there were princesses and princesses in attendance, in order to ensure safety, not many people knew this list. This banquet is organized by the Ministry of Rites, and the officials who are responsible for arranging the seats and Song Wenzhuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, will definitely be able to see the list, and the next thing is himself.

Myself! Shen Minghuang thought of this, and broke out in a cold sweat again. If the officials of the Criminal Department also think so, then this matter still has nothing to do with themselves! The queen ordered the Ministry of Rites to arrange a quiet room for Wei Yangyang, so the queen and Shen Mingyuan, as well as the people sent by the queen to spread the news, also knew about it. But how could they send someone to assassinate Wei Yangyang? Then the suspicion still falls on the head of the Ministry of Rites.

The official in charge of arranging the seats in the Ministry of Rites was just a minor official, and he had no entanglement with the Fengquan Royal Mansion and the Qinghe Royal Mansion, and there was no nepotism, and Shen Minghuang was basically certain that he would not and would not dare to do this.

Song Wenzhuo knew the list, and his sister Song Wenru left with Wei Yangyang, so it stands to reason that he is the most suspicious. But Wei Yangyang has never met Song Wenzhuo, let alone offended him, and he is a good friend with his sister, which is a good opportunity for him to make friends with King Qinghe. Song Wenzhuo is not crazy, why did he assassinate Wei Yangyang if he didn't do a good book of etiquette?

Then only his own side is left, he knows the list, the princess and Wei Yangyang are feuding again, and their suspicions are also very big, and the criminal department has every reason to suspect that it is an assassin sent by the princess. Your own princess? Shen Minghuang suddenly remembered that he had told Jiaoqi Beihai in advance that Wei Yangyang would also go to Mingyue Tower on the day of the begging festival, and asked her not to quarrel with Wei Yangyang.

It's her, it must be her! Thinking of this, Shen Minghuang felt that his chest was about to explode. If she really did it, then she was finished! No matter how he defended himself and didn't know about it, his father would never believe it. After all, Wei Yangyang's attendance was leaked by him to Jiao Qi Beihai.

Shen Minghuang is extremely smart, and he has fought countless times with his second brother Shen Mingbao and his sixth brother Shen Mingyuan. He has been working his way to this day, and for the first time he feels scared. If this is true, let alone being the crown prince, he is likely to be deposed or exiled, and his reputation will be ruined!

He pushed open the door of the study and hurried towards the courtyard of Jiaoqi Beihai. He had to ask about it before the Criminal Department found the palace, so that he could prepare early. When necessary, he can abandon the pawn to protect the car, first report to his father, and strive for the initiative in exchange for his father's forgiveness.

He walked into Jiao Qi Beihai's bedroom with a grim face, and without saying any polite words, he asked directly, "Did you send the assassin?" Jiaoqi Beihai stood up and saluted him as usual, still with a flattering smile on his face: "It's me." ”
