Wei Yu pulled Xiang Siyuan and ran out of Cining Palace, and it was not until he ran out of the palace gate that he felt tired and stopped panting.

The dawn and others outside the door were already at the door, and they were all frightened when they saw that Wei Yu dared to run and jump out.

"Your Highness, how can you run, what if you pull a wound?" Dawn was shocked.

Wei Yu didn't have to take care of this at this time, she was so ashamed that she was uncomfortable at the moment, and as soon as she left the palace gate, she let go of the hand holding Xiang Siyuan's sleeve.

Xiang Siyuan lowered his arm, and the knuckles of his fingers hidden in his wide sleeves were slightly hooked, and the wordless embarrassment spread between the two.

Wei Yu scolded secretly in his heart, and his head was numb with embarrassment.

What's going on? The two people who are obviously so innocent that they can't be innocent anymore have to try their best to clarify, everything that involves men and women, it is really so troublesome.

"Ahem." She coughed and pretended to be calm and said, "You have passed the test today, and grandmother should not embarrass you again." ”

Xiang Si looked at her red ears from a distance, and also felt cramped and uneasy, stood a step away, and said in a low voice: "Fang just said something offensive, and please don't be surprised by Your Highness." ”

Although he was the one who was sneered at and threatened, he was the one who almost lost his life, but he just politely refused her family matter in front of the righteous lord, and no matter how you say it, it can be called rude.

This is the agreed rhetoric, Wei Yu naturally won't bother with him, this section is over, she waved her hand and said: "Don't stay in the palace, you should leave the palace, the palace will give you a ride." ”

Xiang Siyuan was afraid that she still had injuries on her body, and wanted to refuse, but before he could open his mouth, he saw her cast a meaningful glance, knowing that she must have something serious to explain.

He didn't refuse, but just met the eyes that kept coming from the dawn, and persuaded: "Your Highness's injury has not healed, it is not suitable to move for a long time, it is better to sit in a sedan chair, and I will follow Your Highness." ”

Wei Yu saw that the sedan chair was also a familiar face, so he nodded.

The two walked forward in silence into a deserted corridor, and the sunlight was shining, falling on the glass beads on Wei Yu's sideburns, reflecting a spot of light on the wall of the Great Red Palace.

"Is there an eyebrow about the assassination of this palace?" Wei Yu's eyes looked ahead, and his voice was a little heavy.

Xiang Siyuan frowned and said: "The progress is not very smooth, those assassins are a group of green forests and grass in the rivers and lakes, specially designed to do some murderous and outlaw deeds for people, and the few people left behind are only asked by the peak to take money to do things, and they don't know anything else." ”

"A few days ago, an assassin in the prison couldn't stand the heavy torture and confessed, mentioning Shangfeng, who was connected with them, saying that the person lived in Pingkangfang."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered the General Gu he met in Pingkangfang that day, shook his head and continued: "However, when Weichen led people to arrest him, the house was already empty, and the tea on the table was still warm, so it can be seen that someone in the official mansion leaked the news. ”

Wei Yu asked slowly: "In your opinion, is it the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division or the Jinyi Guard?" ”

It was these two yamen who were investigating her case, and that person ran so fast, I am afraid that the person who leaked the news was also the person from these two yamen.

Xiang Siyuan muttered: "Jinyiwei is under the jurisdiction of General Meng, and it is directly under the emperor, and the personnel of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are huge, if it is said that there is a leak, it must be a greater probability among the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and Weichen is incompetent, and someone has been sent to investigate carefully, but there is no result yet." ”

"Fifty percent of the soldiers and horses have been in chaos for a long time, how long have you been in office, how can you blame it?" Wei Yu glanced at him, twisting the twisted edge embroidery on the cuffs, his eyes were heavy, "Do you guess who is the mastermind behind the scenes, and why do you want the life of this palace?" ”

The person who assassinated her can not only know her whereabouts, but also have a way to buy people in the rivers and lakes, and can also stretch his hand into the official mansion, the palace, the court, and the grassland, all have his eyeliner, which can really be described as his hands and eyes.

I'm afraid there are only a handful of such people in the capital, why do you want to set up such a huge bureau and buy so many people to kill her?

Xiang Siyuan said: "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes, Weichen doesn't dare to assert it now, but it is already a lot of money to be able to buy off so many people, and ordinary officials may not have the financial resources." ”

"Your Highness, think about it, have you offended anyone recently?"

Wei Yu's mind crossed several faces in turn, but they denied them one by one.

At this age, she was protected under the wings of Emperor Cheng and the Queen Mother, and it was rare to see any outsiders in the palace for a long time, although she had a bad temper, she had no key conflicts of interest with all parties, some quarrels, and there may be a lot of open guns and arrows to take advantage of the situation, but it is really difficult to guess how hard to kill her.

Recently, the only one who has offended is the Jiang family, who spoke more deeply, and King Huai.

Wei Yu had suspected that there were officials in the court who had already been bribed by King Huai, and if any of these people knew that she was going for King Huai, then there was the most direct motive for the crime.

But recalling what she did after she was reborn, she supported Xiang Siyuan, instructed the Zhou family to spread rumors, indirectly caused Meng Che to raid Jiang Pei's private house, took advantage of the situation to poison herself and bring down Concubine Shu, and provoked Qingliu to fight with Xungui to fight against the Jiang family.

Pile by pile, they only went to the Jiang family, and everything was covered for themselves, and they never aimed the finger at King Huai, who could guess that she was actually targeting King Huai?

"The only thing I can think of is the Jiang family." She thought for a long time and shook her head.

But could it really be the Jiang family?

Concubine Shu had just been dealt with by Emperor Cheng for poisoning her, and Jiang Song was also forced to leave the dynasty for half a month, if the Jiang family just took advantage of the situation when it was poisoned, then then killing her at that time wouldn't it push him to the forefront?

And what's in it for them?

Wei Yu was really puzzled.

Xiang Siyuan also said: "It should be unlikely that the person behind the scenes is Jiang Song, the gang of people who assassinated His Highness are usually scattered all over the place, and it will take at least a month to gather these many people, and the people behind him are afraid that they will have already decided to attack His Highness before January." ”

He reminded: "Before January, rumors of His Highness and Weichen began to spread in the capital, and His Highness, Weichen and the Jiang family have not yet become mortal enemies. ”

If so, who is it......

The more Wei Yu thought about it, the more he felt that the imperial court was a bottomless pool, and everyone around him might stab him in the back, which was really unguardable.

"Since this matter has been recognized, one day it will be revealed, His Royal Highness is now in the palace, with the protection of the emperor and the queen mother, there will be no more worries about life, Your Highness does not have to worry." Xiang Siyuan saw that her face was not very good, and said with relief.

Wei Yu smiled reluctantly, I hope so.

While talking, the two walked to the end of the corridor.

A few brightly dressed young palace concubines came from afar at the leading Hanging Flower Gate, Wei Yu was mostly active in Cining Palace and Qianyuan Hall on weekdays, and rarely interacted with the concubines in the palace.

Dawn reminded her in a slow voice in her ear: "Your Royal Highness, this is Du Concubine Niangniang and several beautiful little masters, Du Concubine Niangniang is the eldest daughter of Du Xiangye's family, she has only been in the palace for less than a year, she is quiet by nature, and she doesn't like to go out and walk around on weekdays, Your Highness may not have seen it." ”

Du Xiangye is from a poor family, with his own strength from farming and reading a small household to be the head of the cabinet, it is not legendary, after the Yuan Emperor ascended the throne in the previous life, he resigned and retired with his family, and was very deep in the city, but he was still loyal to Dayin.

But Wei Yu has never been good at interacting with the concubines in the palace, since he has no contact, he has no intention of being too polite, so he only let people dodge a little and did not get out of the sedan chair.

Concubine Du approached and saw her, but she took the initiative to say hello with a smile, she was only a flower letter when she was old, and when she looked at Wei Yu and asked softly, she didn't look like a palace concubine, but like an eldest sister who cared about her younger siblings.

"I heard that the princess has been injured recently, but I wonder if she is better now?" She has gentle eyebrows and a lovely smile, and she doesn't look like a quiet and indifferent temperament as Dawn says.

Wei Yu felt awkward for a while in his heart, and he didn't want to have a deep friendship with her, so he only hastily possessed her in the sedan chair and replied: "Thank you for your care, it's no big deal." ”

Du Concubine's gaze swept over Xiang Siyuan again, and she looked quite surprised and said, "Who is this?" ”

Xiang Siyuan hugged his fists and said: "Weichen Xiang Siyuan, I have seen all the mothers." ”

Du Concubine waved lightly in her hand, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, and she said softly: "Oh, it turned out to be the fourth son of Xiang." ”

The appearance of a young man like Xiang Siyuan in the palace is a bit rare, not to mention that he is still walking with Wei Yu, which makes people think about it.

Concubine Du's face was still ordinary, but the young beauties behind her did not have this good self-cultivation, and they all showed a little strange looks.

Wei Yu frowned, but he was worried about the reputation of the two, and he didn't want to provoke rumors anymore, so he explained: "He was called to enter the palace with Mrs. Xiang today and talk to his grandmother, Mrs. Xiang is still in Cining Palace, if you don't believe it, you can go to Cining Palace to have a look." ”

When Du Concubine heard this, she made a sudden look on her face, nodded with a light smile, and said, "That's the case." ”

Wei Yu ran out of patience to continue to deal with this group of people, "Niangniang, forgive me, I still have something to do, let's go first." ”

Saying that, she didn't care how Concubine Du answered, and her eyes made people get up.

Several beauties were dissatisfied with her arrogance, but Concubine Du still had a decent smile on her face, "Something first, princess, please." ”

Wei Yu nodded, and had just taken a few steps when he heard a faint voice from behind him.

"is so arrogant, the emperor and the queen mother don't care about restraint."

Du Concubine's helpless voice sounded, "Shen Yan, this is the most beloved Princess Zhaoyang of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, isn't it enough for Concubine Shu to learn from the past......?"

The palace people who followed Wei Yu sank their faces one after another.

The sedan chair had walked a distance, and Xiang Siyuan frowned hesitantly: "That lady seems to have malicious intentions towards His Highness, why does His Highness ......?"

Wei Yu said lazily: "If this palace still has to take care of these little things, don't tire yourself to death." ”

There are many people in the harem concubines, and where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are people like Du Concubine and those beauties, and she doesn't know how many she has met.

Their gossip is considered pediatric, Emperor Cheng treats the harem coldly, Wei Yu often encounters palace concubines who want to show favor to her when she is a child, and coaxes her to let her say good things in front of Emperor Cheng, and even treats her and then cures her in front of Emperor Cheng to invite favor.

Most of these people only treat her with a pleasant face in front of people, once they arrive at people, they immediately seem to be a different person, becoming impatient and impatient, at that time they all thought that Wei Yu was young and ignorant, but in fact, Wei Yu remembered things very early and saw them in their eyes.

Later, several concubines were caught and teased by her a few times, and they showed their true colors in front of Emperor Cheng and completely fell out of favor, and no one used her to invite favor, and her reputation for being stubborn and rude spread from then on.

When she grew up, she refused to study quietly, and she was angry with many masters, and her temperament did not suffer, and whoever made her unhappy would have a seizure on the spot, and she didn't deal with the world's feelings and didn't care about the faces of others, and the rumors in the palace never stopped.

Of course, not all concubines are like this, but if it is not a parent, how can anyone get close to a child who has never met a few times from the heart?

The inexplicable eagerness usually has other purposes, Wei Yu has known this truth since he was a child, so he will never trust others.

Wei Yu sent him all the way to the end of the road, and was waiting to say goodbye to him and return to Hanzhang Palace, when he saw Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis walking through the palace gate with a large number of servants from a distance, looking like a peacock with an open screen.

She came to her senses for a moment, and raised her chin forward, smiling a little gloating, "Now, you should worry about yourself first." ”
