Zhang Wu was angry and walked straight in, but the palace people couldn't stop him if they wanted to.

Liu Heng heard the commotion outside, so he asked Wanquan to go out to see what was going on.

Seeing that it was Zhang Wu, Wan Quan scolded the palace people to retreat, and then asked Zhang Wu to wait for him to go in and pass a word to the king.

Zhang Wu thanked him and waited beside him.

Wanquan returned to Liu Heng's side and said, "It's General Zhang, he said that he had something urgent to see the king." But those disciples didn't want to be disturbed when the king was eating, so they didn't let General Zhang in, so there were some disputes. ”

"Since there's something urgent, let him in! ……”

"Yes."

Wan Quan was just about to walk out, but Liu Heng stopped him again, "Tell those palace people that in the future, if anyone has something to do with this king, they will let them in." ”

Wan Quan nodded.

After a while, Zhang Wu entered, see. Liu Heng allowed him to be exempt from courtesy and asked him what he meant.

"Dou Ying has something important to report to the king."

"Dou Ying? You're talking about Yifang's nephew? ”

"Exactly."

"Didn't he resign and leave, why did he come back?"

"Because he saved a palace maid who was almost wiped out, he learned something......"

When Liu Heng heard this, he felt that the matter was not trivial, so he decided to meet Dou Ying in Moyun Hall.

Moyuntang.

Dou Ying took Xiao Lu to the bookcase, knelt down and saluted: "Grass people Dou Ying (slave Ning Lu) see the king ......"

Liu Heng asked them to be exempt from courtesy, looked at Dou Ying, and asked him where he had been during this time.

Only after knowing that Dou Yifang was wronged, he also understood that Dou Ying was ostracized by his colleagues before he resigned angrily.

Dou Ying said that she had a serious illness and had been recuperating at home.

Liu Heng nodded and asked him if he was ready to come back and reinstate.

Dou Ying was overjoyed and immediately thanked him. Liu Heng was also happy, because he thought that if Dou Yifang knew, he would definitely be happy.

Then there was Xiao Lu, Liu Heng only felt that she was familiar, and asked her where the palace maid was.

"The slave was once Qin Liangren's handmaid."

"Qin Liangren ......"

Thinking of Qin Yilian, Liu Heng was a little sad.

Although Qin Yilian is not the woman he likes, he can feel very relaxed and comfortable when he gets along with Qin Yilian, so he often goes to Qin Yilian's place to sleep.

"You were hunted down?"

Xiao Lu nodded, and suddenly knelt down, "The slave deserves death!" Ask the king to spare ......"

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Heng's face was solemn, and he had realized that the situation seemed to be more serious than he expected.

Xiao Lu told Qin Yilian's real cause of death and what Han Meiren threatened her to hide, and tears flowed down her eyes as she spoke.

It can be seen that she is full of guilt for Qin Yilian.

It is also a relief to say it, these days, she has been living in guilt and self-blame every day, and her heart is miserable.

"When the grass people were sending the little green girl back to the palace, they encountered an assassin who intercepted and killed Xiao Lu, who was a strong martial artist and killed the three guardians of the grass people. The grass people implore the king to arrest the murderer! ”

After hearing this, Liu Heng was very angry and speechless. At this time, the palace people came to report to Lieutenant Song Chang to ask for an appointment.

Liu Heng asked him to meet him, and Song Chang came to the front, and after seeing it, he said what he meant.

What he wanted to say was the attack on Dou Ying this morning. After investigation, he found that the arrows used by the murderer were exactly the same as the arrows used to kill Feng Luyang before.

It can be inferred that this incident and Feng Luyang's assassination were committed by the same person.

After Liu Heng heard this, he immediately ordered Wanquan to prepare and go to Minglan Palace.

Minglan Palace, in front of the dresser.

Han Meiren was still wearing a nightgown, her long hair was draped behind her, and her face was not powdered.

In the bronze mirror, a pessimistic and desperate face was reflected.

Just now, Zhang Hanyan sent someone to tell her that the plan had failed, so she was what she is now.

The plan failed, Xiao Lu entered the palace, and she had no way to stop Liu Heng from knowing everything and knowing the crimes she had done that were enough to be beheaded all over the house.

Thankfully, she is now alone and doesn't have to worry about affecting her family.

"The king has arrived—"

Han Meiren heard it, but still didn't move.

Qingyun came in and persuaded, "Madam, the king......" Before she finished speaking, she couldn't continue, and she also knew what the arrival of the king meant.

But she couldn't share the burden for her master, for which she felt deep guilt and self-blame, and tears flowed silently.

"Qingyun, come here."

Qingyun walked to Han Meiren's side.

"Comb my hair! ……”

"Yes......"

Just as Qingyun was combing her hair, Han Meiren took out some jewelry from the cabinet and put it on the table.

"You can take out all of these, if you can get out of the palace, you can find a good family to marry. If you can't leave the palace, you can keep everything in the future, and you can live a stable life in the palace. ”

"Madam, slave ......"

Qingyun wanted to say something more, but she didn't know what to say, at this time, another palace maid arrived and invited Han Meiren to the main hall to see Liu Heng.

Han Meiren got up slowly, didn't change her clothes, and went directly to see Liu Heng.

"The concubines see the king, the king is a thousand years old, and the blessings are good." The tone sounded very frustrating.

Liu Heng looked at her with indifferent eyes, "Are you pretending to be pitiful?" ”

"The concubine's sin deserves death, please give the king the sin! ……”

Liu Heng originally thought that she would deny it in every possible way, but he didn't expect her to admit her guilt.

Unexpectedly, the anger also subsided, and only pity and extreme disappointment for her remained.

"How do you have such a femme fatale?" Liu Heng felt distressed.

"The nature of the concubine is so unworthy of the king's sympathy." Han Meiren said indifferently.

Liu Heng sighed heavily, "You cut yourself!" ……”

Han Meiren leaned over and bowed, "King Xie." ”

Liu Heng turned around and was about to leave, he didn't want to see Han Meiren for a moment.

Han Meiren stopped him, "Can the king listen to the concubine say two things again?" Liu Heng didn't want to hear it, but he couldn't help but stop.

Han Meidao: "This first thing, Dou Yifang is a fake pregnancy to deceive the king; Second, please be careful of Zhang Hanyan. ”

"It's all this time, do you still want to hurt people?"

"A man is about to die, and his words are good, believe it or not, it all depends on the king."

Of course Liu Heng wouldn't believe it, and left quickly.

Qingyun came up and helped Han Meiren up, and Han Meiren asked her to prepare a three-foot white silk. Qingyun had tears in her eyes, and begged her not to look for a short-sighted view easily, and then begged the king, and the king relented.

Han Meiren smiled bitterly and said lightly: "This palace is already tired......

In the boudoir, Han Meiren sat in front of the dresser again, just sitting quietly. The three-foot white silk was already on the table behind her, but she wasn't ready to hang herself.

Because she's waiting for someone, who may or may not come. She wanted to wait......

Here she comes.

Dou Yifang walked in, Lan Yi was worried, and she wanted to come in with her, but was rejected by Dou Yifang.

"You're really here......" Han Mi said.

Dou Yifang glanced at Bai Aya on the table, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "The king really feels sorry for you, let you cut yourself, it's really cheap for you......"

"I have told the king about your fake pregnancy, do you think the king will believe me?"

"Is this your dying throes?"

"I just want to know how much the king pampers you."

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed......"

"What do you mean? Won't the king suspect you? ”

"The king is suspicious, of course he will be suspicious. But I mean, I'm really pregnant. ”

Speaking of this, Dou Yifang showed a smug smile.

Han Meiren also laughed, but she laughed miserably.

"Why, why are you so lucky, God always favors you......"

"Answer, you better ask God yourself! ……”

After speaking, Dou Yifang turned around and left.

Disheartened, Han Meimei got up and walked to the door and locked the door.

Qingyun knocked on the door vigorously and persuaded her to open some, maybe if she went to beg the king again, he would be soft-hearted?

Han Meiren had made up her mind, and the three-foot white silk hung on the beam.

She stood on her chair and tucked her snow neck into the ring. The hollow eyes slowly closed, and a tear crossed his face from the corner of his eye. "Goodbye in the next life......"

There was the sound of a chair falling in the room, and Qingyun knelt down weakly, crying in mourning......

Half a month later.

Chang'an, in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Pu Zhao stood at the gate of the mansion against the bleak autumn wind.

He has been in Chang'an for seven days, and Liu Hengzuo's document requesting Dou Yifang to be the acting king has been submitted early, but there has been no reply until today.

He couldn't wait, so he came to the interrogator to ask for details.

Zhike has already gone in to report, and after listening to Zhike's report, he said: "Just say that the prime minister is not in the house, let him come back another day." ”

Zhike came out and said to Pu Zhao what he said, Pu Zhao was helpless and left with a sigh.

Changle Palace, garden.

Judging the food, he helped Lu Hou to take a walk in the garden. Lu is smiling behind him, and he seems to be in a good mood!!

"You have come today because there is something! ......" Lu Hou said.

"I can't hide anything from the Queen Mother." "That's the case, today the envoy of the country has come to ask for approval again......

"Why is the envoy of the country here?"

"It's for the establishment of Dou Yifang as the acting king."

"Isn't this a family affair for the king himself?"

"It is indeed a family affair of the acting king, but the ancestral system is cloudy, and the establishment of the vassal king is a major event, and it is necessary to ask the emperor and the queen mother."

Empress Lu nodded slightly, and asked how Emperor Gao and Emperor Hui handled it during their reigns.

"Emperor Gao and Emperor Xian both granted the requests of the vassal kings, and the queens of various countries also complied with the rules of etiquette in terms of virtue and conduct. But this Dou Yi room ......"

Empress Lu understood the meaning of the trial, and once heard that Dou Yifang was expelled from the palace by Liu Heng because of his misconduct and was imprisoned.

Although the current messenger's text explains that Dou Yifang is innocent, it always makes people feel uneasy.

The queens of other countries have always behaved in a proper manner, and there has never been a fork.

Although Dou Yifang is innocent, there is no wind and no waves, if there are not words and deeds that do not conform to his identity, how can people misunderstand.

Judging her opinion, Lu Hou laughed when she heard it, isn't this exactly what she wants?

All along, she wanted to cut the feudal domain and let the Lu family take her place, but there was always no suitable reason.
