Chapter 157: The Boundaries of Differentiation
Queen Chen was dressed in plain clothes and met Wei Muyu. "This is rare, what kind of wind can blow the noble Yuliang to this palace?"
She said with a smile, her language full of sarcasm.
Wei Muyu didn't care, and said, "I'm here today to discuss something with my sister. ”
"Is there anything to say between us?"
"Dou Yifang, I don't know if my sister is interested?"
Queen Chen's eyes narrowed into a line with joy, "Very good, let's sit inside, Yu'er, watch tea." ”
The fragrant tea was served, and Queen Chen asked her what she wanted. Wei Muyu said: "Please also ask my sister to retreat left and right first." ”
Queen Chen said with a smile: "Yu'er is the confidant of this palace, you can rest assured." ”
Wei Muyu shook her head slowly, in her opinion, no one could be completely trusted. Queen Chen understood and ordered Yu'er to withdraw first, but Yu'er was even more disgusted in her heart, and had no choice but to retreat.
"Can you say it now?"
"I'd like to ask my sister for a favor......"
Wei Muyu wanted to use the power of the Chen family to cover up Wei Cheng's case, because it was unlikely that Chang Shun would solve this matter.
And the Chen family occupies half of the country in the court, and it is not difficult to suppress a case.
After listening to Wei Muyu's request, Queen Chen first wanted to know why she wanted to help her, but Wei Muyu was reluctant to tell her.
"My sister doesn't want to be honest, how can this palace help you?"
"I can swear to God that what I am going to do will do you no harm."
Queen Chen squinted her phoenix eyes and smiled, obviously not believing her words.
"If my sister doesn't believe it, it's a big deal not to cooperate, but my sister is really willing to miss this good opportunity for revenge?"
This sentence cut into Queen Chen's heart, Dou Yifang not only killed her son, but also caused her brother to be imprisoned and dying.
She hated Dou Yifang to the core, and if she really got rid of Dou Yifang, it would be worth the risk a little.
And judging from the situation in the palace in the past few days, Wei Muyu is really at odds with Dou Yifang.
But she wouldn't agree to Wei Muyu so easily, since she couldn't know the secret, it would at least have some benefits.
"Except for Dou Yifang, isn't this benefit enough?"
"This is the common purpose of you and me, how can it be regarded as a benefit to this palace?"
"Okay, I'll tell you how to get the king's favor."
Queen Chen raised her eyebrows slightly, "Your method is useful for this palace?" ”
"Absolutely useful."
"Then I'd like to hear about it."
Wei Muyu took out a small sac and opened it, and inside was some yellow powder, which exuded a faint fragrance that smelled very good.
"What is this?"
"A fragrance, I call it Huanyi fragrance......"
Wei Muyu told Huan Yixiang's usage and efficacy, but deliberately concealed Huan Yixiang's terrible side effects for women.
When Queen Chen heard this, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart, but she looked at Wei Muyu with disdain, and said, "This palace still thinks you have something extraordinary, it turns out that you are using this kind of unsightly means. ”
Wei Muyu didn't care what she said, "What are we doing in this palace?" Isn't it the favor of King Tu, and the future will have a son to take care of? ”
Queen Chen didn't want to admit that she thought the same as her, but she couldn't think of the words to refute it, so she could only give up in embarrassment.
At this time, Wei Muyu didn't seem to laugh at her, so she asked her if she was willing to help.
After hesitating, Queen Chen finally nodded.
"Thank you, sister." Wei Muyu was relieved and got up to say goodbye.
"No."
After watching Wei Muyu walk out of the living room, her eyes quickly fell on the spices on the table, and she was looking forward to the arrival of the king with joy.
……
Youlan Palace, Chunyan Pavilion.
Dou Yifang asked Danhe to find out if the king was in the palace, and Danhe came back and said that the king was not there, and he was not in the palace for the past few days.
It turned out that there was a messenger from Hanting, and Liu Heng wanted to accompany him. Although he is the king of a country, the envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor represents the emperor, and he does not dare to despise him.
What's more, the person in charge in the Han court now is Empress Dowager Lu. Even if few people mention it, Liu Heng will not forget how his brother, Liu Ruyi, who was also the acting king, died.
If the king is not there, there is only one person that Dou Yifang can think of - Tingwei Song Chang.
On the day of Zhang Wu's wedding, she had seen Song Chang and heard Zhang Wu say that Song Chang was a person, so if she handed over Wei Cheng's case to Song Chang, she might be able to find out.
As long as you grasp the clue of Wei Cheng, you will have a chance to pull out Wei Muyu.
Dou Yifang immediately repaired the book, using the same method as Jiang Yanxiang, because Wei Cheng's death made her understand that Wei Muyu was not alone.
Although it is not known who is helping Wei Muyu, judging from their methods, Wei Muyu has long been secretly managing his own forces.
It was knowing this that Dou Yifang was even more sad. Because this means that Wei Muyu has been calculating her all along, and the sisterhood they once had may have turned into a wither.
It was precisely because of Wei Muyu's calculations that Dou Yifang couldn't forgive her. In the past, Dou Yifang was easy to be soft-hearted, but now she won't.
The bamboo slip that Dou Yifang gave to Jiang Yanxiang was indeed robbed, Chang Shun read it, except for some copied verses that were not found, and they were returned and sent out of the palace.
As soon as the night fell, Jiang Yanxiang received the bamboo slips from Dou Yi's room. She naturally knew that the really useful information was on the satin tied with bamboo slips.
When the stitches were removed, the content was roughly that Song Chang should take over Wei Cheng's case, and Wei Cheng's case could not be sunk into the sea.
Almost at the same time, Queen Chen also sent a letter to her old father.
But the letter did not explain the situation in detail, and Old Man Chen was worried that this Wei Cheng was related to Queen Chen, so he immediately arranged for him to go.
After Wei Cheng's body was confirmed, because he had no family, he was placed in Yizhuang. The best way to hide this case is to eliminate Wei Cheng's body.
Without this body, they can say that Wei Cheng is missing, and as for why he is missing, there are many reasons.
After Old Man Chen ordered to go down, a group of people came to Yizhuang in the middle of the night.
The moonlight is bleak, and the white flags and white curtains hanging in the village move without wind, and the ghost is full of ghosts. I don't know how many unjust souls will wander here, waiting for the snow to be settled and put into the ground.
"Hurry up, hurry up...... Still haven't found it? A fat man with a fat figure held his mouth and nose and urged impatiently.
Four or five men were looking for each bed, lifting the corner of the sheet, not Wei Cheng, and looking for the next body.
I don't know what the reason is, there will be so many corpses sent to Yizhuang recently, is there no one to claim them?
Just when the fat man was thinking self-righteously, someone shouted: "Found ......"
The fat man walked over, took a look, and confirmed that it was Wei Cheng, so he asked them to carry the corpse. The crowd pushed each other away, and no one wanted to carry the corpse. Later, the fat man had to raise the price before anyone was willing to carry it.
"You...... Who are you......" When the old man who was in charge of Yizhuang walked in drunk, he happened to bump into a fat man who was about to go out.
"Claim the corpse!" The fat man said angrily.
"Since I'm here to identify the corpse, let's record it first......"
Before he could finish speaking, the fat man pushed the old man to the ground and beckoned everyone to walk through the door. The old man grinded for a long time to get up, and when he looked again, the person was gone.
The fat man and his party left Yizhuang and walked towards the suburbs.
"Master Feng, what should we do with this dead man?"
"Isn't there a land temple in the forest in front, let it burn!"
"That's a newly built temple, is it really burning?"
"It's just a broken temple, and if it burns down, it burns down......"
The group came to the temple, threw the body inside, and then found firewood and lit the small temple.
Looking at the flames that were gradually burning, a satisfied smile appeared on the fat man's face.
He wanted to wait for the fire to engulf the temple before leaving, but at this time, he suddenly heard someone shouting "on fire" not far away. The fat man was startled and immediately ordered his retinue to catch the caller.
But those people were afraid that they would find out that they had set the fire, so they hugged their legs and ran away.
The fat man had no choice but to run away.
When Zhang Wu found Song Chang, he was coming out of the palace and dealing with the envoy with Liu Heng for a day, which was really a very tiring thing.
But after hearing about Wei Cheng, he immediately followed Zhang Wu to Yizhuang. At first, Zhang Wu didn't quite understand why he had to go to Yizhuang at this time, but when they arrived, he finally understood. It's a pity that he was a step too late, and Wei Cheng's body was gone.
When Song Chang saw an old man sitting on the ground sleeping, he woke him up and asked who had taken Wei Cheng's body.
When the old man heard the anger, he came up, and then scolded the fat man who took the corpse.
"When did they leave?"
The old man looked at the incense burned on the incense burner and said, "I probably went to have half a pillar of incense......
Without further ado, Song Chang and Zhang Wu immediately got on their horses and chased them out.
According to Song Chang's judgment, if they wanted to destroy the body, they had to go to a place away from people, and then either throw the body into the river, bury it, or burn it.
There is a village nearby, and the only way to avoid it is to go to the grove to the north, and there is a river to the north.
Just outside the woods, they saw a fire in the woods. The two of them were stunned, could it be that they had already burned the corpses?
Entering the forest, the two followed the firelight, only to see that the fire had engulfed the entire Land Temple.
Seven or eight other people were trying to extinguish the fire, but the fire was so great that they all gave up and stood by with their heads down.
Song Chang got off the horse, and without saying a word, he snatched the bucket from the hand of one of them, and raised it above his head and drenched it all over his body. Then he threw the bucket and rushed in.
Smoke was billowing from the temple, but fortunately, there were not many things inside, and Wei Cheng's body had been placed on the ground, so it had not been burned yet.
Song Chang was very happy, picked up Wei Cheng's body and jumped out.
When everyone gathered around, wondering what made this man rush into the temple of the land that was about to collapse.
Then they saw a dead man and were puzzled by what they were doing.
After confirming that Song Chang was okay, Zhang Wu asked the villagers who were fighting the fire to see the arsonists, and one of them only saw a few figures, but because it was too dark, he couldn't see their faces clearly.
It is a great luck to be able to recover Wei Cheng's body.
