When An Ruo returned to the Qianqing Palace, Wei Yan found out at a glance that An Ruo's mood was wrong.

"What's wrong? Concubine Ning bullied you? ”

Wei Yan looked like he wanted to beat someone, An Ruo felt bitter in his heart, but he had to raise a smile on his face and shook his head.

"Where am I so easily bullied. By the way, Grandpa Xu, are we just waiting? ”

Seeing that An Ruo didn't want to say it, Wei Yan didn't ask anymore, he had already made up his mind, and he would never let An Ruo contact Concubine Ning alone in the future.

"Put a long line and catch a big fish, you can't be in a hurry. However, some scenes do have to be done. ”

Facts have proved that Wei Yan's approach is correct, and Father-in-law Xu was admitted to the palace, except that Concubine Ning took good care of people, Wei Yan did not say anything.

Instead, he went to visit the previous patriarch of the clan every day, the uncle of the first emperor, Prince Ming.

Prince Ming has passed the year of the oracle bone, when the first emperor was still in power, he dismissed the position of patriarch on the grounds of his old age, and the subsequent patriarch had already died in the princely battle in the last years of the first emperor, and later Prince Rui took over.

Undoubtedly, Prince Ming was a very wise man, and he was able to retreat bravely, and successfully led the entire family to escape the turmoil in the last years of the first emperor.

And now for Wei Yan's visit, Prince Ming can't say anything, he is already a person who is about to step into the coffin with half a foot, and he should really think about his children and grandchildren.

In his eyes, it was impossible for Fang Ce to shake Wei Yan's position, after all, Wei Yan had been the emperor for two years and had children, while Fang Ce was just the younger brother of the first emperor.

Sure enough, after this lasted for half a month, Fang Ce's subordinates couldn't sit still.

"Young master, aren't we going to visit Grandpa Xu and Prince Ming? If this evidence is taken and destroyed by Wei Yan first, we will have no conclusive evidence. ”

"I just knew that as soon as the first emperor and concubine died, someone would come out with evidence of the crime of the concubine, but I didn't know who it was. However, Concubine Shu was misled, thinking that when she died, the people left by the first emperor would come out with the evidence that cleared her name, so she set fire to the cold palace herself. Unexpectedly, a generation of favorite concubines has been in the harem for so many years, and she is still so stupid, and it is not wrong to fall into the cold palace, she should understand that no emperor is willing to admit her mistakes, and if there is this evidence, it must be the evidence that hammered her to death. ”

"So, who are we going to explore?"

Fang Ce closed his eyes and was silent, he didn't know who it was, this kind of hidden plot of old things, he was also dug up little by little after the NPC favorability reached the full level, and it was rare to get to this point.

It stands to reason that if Wei Yan was guided by the first emperor's concubine, he would inevitably be more active in looking for that evidence, but why did Gonggong Xu, who took over the spirit of the first emperor, visit Prince Ming repeatedly?

Will the person most trusted by the first emperor be Prince Ming?

The old prince who didn't even wait for the death of the first emperor and asked for his retirement in advance.

It seems that in comparison, Gonggong Xu is more worthy of the trust of the first emperor, after all, no one wanted to do anything to Gonggong Xu at the beginning.

He can obviously take the gold, silver and jewelry he has accumulated in this life and be at ease, so why do he have to go to the first emperor to keep a watch.

This is true loyalty.

And whether a person is loyal to you or not, the first emperor should know best.

"Xu ......"

Fang Ce stopped, thinking about it backwards, the first emperor left evidence that could hammer Concubine Shu to death on the board of shame, in order to definitely not add to his own son, after all, Wei Yan was not the next emperor designated by the first emperor, but earned it himself, and the first emperor did not know earlier that Wei Yan would ascend the throne and would overturn the case for Concubine Shu.

According to the idea of the first emperor, the one who ascended the throne at that time should be His Royal Highness the crown prince who died in front of the horse, and Wei Yan's existence should threaten the status of the crown prince, so the existence of the evidence of Concubine Shu should be to restrain Wei Yan and make him no longer have the ability to compete for the throne.

As long as Concubine Shu does not come out of the cold palace and Wei Yan does not pose a threat to the crown prince, this secret will be preserved forever, and the mistakes of the first emperor will be covered up.

It's just that by mistake, Wei Yan ascended the throne, but Wei Yan was a player, and he didn't think of the concubine of the cold palace at all, so that evidence was preserved, not only to show favor to the new emperor, but also to fulfill the instructions of the first emperor.

After all, Concubine Shu was not rehabilitated and left the cold palace.

So, after Gonggong Xu went to guard the imperial mausoleum, did he really have a chance to come up with evidence to stop Wei Yan when Concubine Shu came out of the cold palace to be the queen mother?

And Prince Ming, as an old prince who can bravely retreat in the torrent, what would he do if he really had this evidence that could pull Wei Yan off the horse?

Wei Yandu has been visiting his house for half a month, and he is already close to his sixtieth birthday, so he naturally wants to seek benefits for his children and grandchildren, and the things that should be handed over have already been handed over.

"Do you know who the first prince is close to?"

"First Prince? At the beginning, after the death of the prince, the auxiliary ministers that the first emperor gave to Wei Yan when he was dying, except for Wang Taifu, were all cronies of the former prince, but in the past two years, they have already been killed by Wei Yan and Wang Taifu! ”

"It won't be them, otherwise they would have used this to blackmail Wei Yan in those two years, how could they have been killed and taken from their eggs. The first prince died in front of the horse that year, and he didn't even leave an heir, but the first princess was still alive and well, but prayed for the first prince in the royal temple? ”

"My subordinates will go and investigate."

Fang Ce narrowed his eyes, this evidence he had to hold in his hands, or make it public, and there was not much time left for her, according to the spies in the palace, An Ruo rested in the Qianqing Palace every day, he was worried that if An Ruo got along for a long time, habits would turn into likes, not to mention that Wei Yan himself was attractive enough.

He can't afford to lose this game, and he doesn't want to let this guy go.

The traces of the former crown princess were soon discovered, and originally the person had been practicing in the royal temple to pray for blessings, but because it was not ordered to practice, but voluntary, when the first crown princess was unwilling to continue practicing, no one stopped her.

"The subordinates suspect that this former crown princess should also be a player, and this person is the royal temple that left after the start of "Deep Palace Blood"."

Fang Ce frowned, if it was a player, then even if she found it, it would be meaningless, she would not know the story, and if the evidence was in her hands, she would probably throw it away as a rag.

"Have you found out where people have gone?"

"Ahem, it is said that I went down to the south of the Yangtze River and lingered in the small official hall every day."

"Huh! Is it to find yourself with no hope of winning the game and completely rotten? Also, away from strife, as long as you don't die, you can enjoy it in the game. Go and bring people back. ”

The subordinates silently lit a wax for this woman, everyone is working so hard to make a living, why can she be rotten, she must be caught and rolled up.

"Young master, there is one more thing, the steward of Qionglou replied, saying that there has always been a feeling that Qionglou has been being targeted recently."

Fang Ce frowned and asked, "Qiong Tower was built in the period of the first emperor, so it stands to reason that it will not arouse suspicion, when did it start?" ”

"It seems to be after coming back from cinnabar."

Fang Ce's eyes narrowed, and he quickly reviewed the events of the day in his mind, and immediately realized that cinnabar might be bait.

"If Cinnabar's injury is healed, he will send people to Mobei, and the stronghold on Qionglou's side will be stopped immediately, and in the future, it will only be an ordinary restaurant."

"Yes, young master."

Fang Ce looked around the room on the roof of Qiong Lou, stroked the chair that An Ruo had been lying on that day, closed his eyes, and left without looking back.
