"Second brother, who is the person who harmed you," Wei Ji said, "The plan is so thorough, it is definitely not the work of ordinary guards, and there may be people behind it." ”

Wei Zhao didn't talk much about this, "I know it in my heart. ”

Wei Ji saw that he was in his chest, and his expression relaxed.

The corners of Wei Zhao's mouth twitched, looked at her and smiled, "The name of Wei Lang is spread outside, and you have a lot of fame now." ”

Wei Ji's expression stiffened for a moment, she knew very well what was being spread outside, and after peeking at Wei Zhao, she said expectantly: "Second brother, I also have a matter here." ”

Wei Zhao knew that this was not ordinary when he heard her tone, and his eyes moved slightly, "What's the matter?"

Wei Ji lowered her voice and told in detail about Sima Pi's push to fall off the cliff on the Yaji.

Wei Zhao's expression narrowed, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and he smiled lowly: "It turns out that there is such a thing." Then he stretched out his hand and tapped her head, "Put your heart back to the real place, don't say that Yu Zhi's matter has nothing to do with you, it was really you who did it, and now that I'm back, the people of the Yu family can't make waves." ”

Wei Ji knew that Wei Zhao was by no means a person who spoke in vain, and said with a smile: "I am relieved to have the second brother here." ”

Under the lamplight, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, as if they are carved from beautiful jade. Wei Zhao was distracted for a moment by the smile on her face, turned his face and shouted outward, and the servant maid entered the room. Wei Zhao wiped his face, Wei Zhao saw that it was dark outside, and Huang Zhiyin was standing outside the door looking out, so he got up and said goodbye.

Wei Zhao seemed to want to say something, but finally waved his hand and said nothing.

After cleaning up the house, Huang Zhiyin took the initiative to stay, and her face was slightly red to untie Wei Zhao's wide clothes. She peeked at it, Wei Zhao's expression was gloomy, and he didn't have the appearance of laughing with Xiao Langjun just now, Huang Zhiyin thought about it and said, "Xiao Langjun has worshiped under Dr. Zhao and made friends with many scholar Langjun, and Xiao Langjun of the Luo family often comes, and I heard that his brother is good friends with Lang Jun." ”

Wei Zhao let out a faint "um".

When Huang Zhiyin saw his response, she told Wei Zhao some things about Wei Ji, and tried her best to say some good things, such as Xiao Langjun studying hard, and Dr. Zhao also praised him. Seeing that Wei Zhao could listen to it, she said more unconsciously, King Langya also treated Wei Ji differently, and now Yuzhang knows that the Wei family has an outstanding little Langjun, and there are often women outside the door who stay for an excuse, just to take a look at Wei Lang's demeanor.

Wei Zhao's eyes were slightly gloomy when he heard this, and he said: "Yudu is still young, you pay more attention at home, don't let people lead him to the crooked road." ”

Huang Zhiyin agreed.

Since Wei Zhao came back, the house was lively, and every day there were congratulatory gifts from various families in Yuzhang City. Wei Ji didn't know until the second day that Wei Zhao had won a battle in Shansang, which was the first tough battle of the Northern Expedition, but later he had a disagreement with Yin Hao, Yin Hao led the Northern Expedition, faced great pressure from all sides, and had the intention to take Wei Zhao's first credit.

Yin Hao was already displeased when he saw Wei Zhao's refusal to share his merits, and later because Wei Zhao instructed him twice, he felt even more disgusted with him, and found a reason to remove him from the Northern Expeditionary Army, and refused to use the army he led. Wei Zhao got the will of the imperial court and directly led his troops back to Jiangzhou. Many people said behind their backs that Wei Zhao was young and vigorous and missed the follow-up exploits of the Northern Expedition. But Wei Ji knew that although Wei Zhao didn't say it explicitly, his behavior to provoke Yin Hao was obviously deliberate, just to get out of the Northern Expedition as soon as possible.

Things are not as optimistic as these high-ranking officials and scholars in the DPRK and China, Yan and Qin armies are flanked, and Yin Hao is not good at military affairs, and he will be defeated and retreat before he arrives in Luoyang, exhausting grain and grass but not building an inch.

The timing of Wei Zhao's departure was just right, not only to reap the benefits, but also not to be implicated in the failure of the subsequent Northern Expedition.

In recent days, the children of the scholar clan in Yuzhang have become more and more cordial and enthusiastic to Wei Ji, and often invite her to travel, but the weather is getting hotter and her clothes are light, Wei Ji is vigilant in her heart, and rarely agrees to travel with everyone. On this day, she came back from Zhao Lin, and as soon as she entered the house, she felt that the atmosphere at home was abnormal. After asking the maidservant Huailu, I learned that Wei Zhao's subordinate Jiang Yu came back today, and after talking for a while behind closed doors in the study, Wei Zhao's face sank and his temper was uncertain.

Wei Ji secretly guessed that Jiang Zhao was Wei Zhao's subordinate who defected to Jiang Xia when he was here, and he should be the most trusted person by Wei Zhao's side at this time

She thought about it, but she couldn't figure out who would plan Wei Zhao's death so carefully.

After resting in the room for a while, the maidservant said Huang Zhiyin outside the door.

Wei Ji re-pulled her collar and invited someone in.

Huang Zhiyin said a little anxiously: "Xiao Langjun go and persuade him, Langjun doesn't know why he got angry, so people didn't dare to approach, and he didn't even have lunch." ”

Wei Ji was stunned when she heard this, glanced at her and said, "The second brother is angry, it's useless for me to be afraid, my sister is his intimate person, and the second brother should listen to your persuasion." ”

Huang Zhiyin secretly scolded "little slippery head", rolled up her sleeves, and revealed a red mark on the back of her hand.

Wei Ji was taken aback, "Second brother did it"

Huang Zhiyin hurriedly waved her hand and explained. It turned out that the maidservant girl brought tea in just now, Huang Zhiyin walked to the door, only to hear Wei Zhao scolding the stupid, smashing the cup, and the fragments ejected out and hit her. Huang Zhiyin had never seen Wei Zhao so angry, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to go in, so she thought about it, so she came to find Wei Zhao.

Wei Jiao's eyes widened: "......"

Huang Zhiyin begged: "The concubine doesn't know why Langjun is annoyed, I'm afraid he will be angry, you are brothers of the same clan of blood and blood, on weekdays, Langjun treats Xiaolangjun better than his own brothers, what is good to think about Xiaolangjun first......"

"Okay, okay," Wei Ji interrupted her helplessly, and said with a long sigh, "I'll take a look." ”

Huang Zhiyin immediately turned into laughter.

Wei Ji walked towards Wei Zhao's study, thinking all the way that something that made Wei Zhao angry must be extraordinary, and all kinds of comforting words were quickly turning in her mind. As soon as she came to the courtyard, she saw a person kneeling on the ground facing the study, wearing a tunic silk skirt, with a delicate figure, slightly hanging his head, it was Ling Yuan.

Huang Zhiyin, who followed behind Wei Jiao, was also surprised, but after a little thought, she knew what was going on. It must have been when she was not there that Ling Yuan came to the study, but somehow angered Wei Zhao and was punished to kneel here. Before coming to Yuzhang, Ling Yuan had always been the most favored in Wei Zhao's backyard, but when he came back from the Northern Expedition this time, Wei Zhao was unusual, but he was lukewarm to Ling Yuan. Huang Zhiyin was also secretly happy about this, and now that she saw Ling Yuan kneeling, a thought flashed in her heart, could it be that Ling Yuan had already aroused Lang Jun's disgust

Wei Ji was also puzzled, thinking that the second brother was amorous or affectionate, half a year ago he and Ling Yuan were like glue, but now they don't leave her half face.

She came to the door of the study, thinking of the scratch on Huang Zhiyin's hand just now, she reached out to push the door open, and then looked in.

The study is simply furnished, and the sword hanging on the wall adds a bit of solemnity.

Wei Zhao sat at the table with a frosty face, and today he got the letter from Jiang Yu, and the guess in his heart was confirmed, he had chest tightness and shortness of breath, his face was pale, and his heart was like a huge stone. Ling Yuan walked in slowly just now, he was talking to her with a strong anger, but he was secretly looking at her. Ling Yuan was given by the Huan family, will he already know something.

Ling Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, just now he heard the maidservant say that he hadn't eaten yet, and gently persuaded him to eat some first, and brought out a bowl of porridge from the food box he brought, three dishes of side dishes, all of which were cool and delicious, just in time for summer.

"Lang Jun use some first, it's all made by the concubine herself."

Wei Zhao let her come closer, stared at her, and suddenly smiled: "I've snubbed you these days, and you have a grudge in your heart."

Ling Yuan listened to his gentle tone, and seemed to return to the time when he first came to love, and thought that he almost didn't come to her room these days, and his heart suddenly became sour, and he called "Wei Lang" softly.

Wei Zhao said: "You can talk to Lang Jun about anything, don't hold it in your heart." ”

Ling Yuan's eyes immediately turned red, and his mind was racing, but he actually regretted the child who had lost it.

The author has something to say:

I took my temperature no less than five times today, but fortunately I didn't have a fever, and I looked like it should be a cold and cold...... Nervous all day, I wondered if I was looking forward to the yang, ah ah bah bah to be honest with everyone, I am not the kind of talented code word fast, I am pure inspiration, and from time to time Carvin, I may really not be able to catch up with the speed of others, woo woo I will try to do more

Chapter 53: Punishment for kneeling

This thought brought up the thought that was pressed in his heart, Ling Yuan twitched his nose slightly, and a stream of tears welled up, and he saw Wei Zhao's gentle face in his confused eyes. She couldn't help but think in her heart, Yes, the children of the scholar clan of Lang Jun's age should have married a wife and have children, and now that he is in charge of the military and is in a high position, it is time to consider the heir.

Ling Yuan said with tears in his eyes: "When Lang Jun was not at home, the concubine was pregnant, but it was just ...... I just didn't keep it. ”

Wei Zhao didn't want to ask this, Seeing her crying with pear blossoms and rain, her eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Why didn't you keep it?"

Ling Yuan mentioned the sad matter, but he didn't notice Wei Zhao's attitude, wiped his tears and said sadly: "I know that I am lowly, I once went to ask Xiao Langjun, and Xiao Langjun called the Huang family...... My sister said that my fetus was different, and I hurriedly asked a doctor to take a medicine for me that night, and the child disappeared that night. ”

Wei Zhao said lightly: "It sounds like no wonder to others, it's because you have a different pregnancy." ”

Ling Yuan sobbed: "The fetus is unpredictable, and it is also appropriate to find a doctor to take a look at such difficult symptoms, The concubine is in good health on weekdays, and there are very few minor illnesses, how can she suddenly ......"

She raised her head and crashed into Wei Zhao's cold gaze, her voice stopped abruptly, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were stunned.

Wei Zhao laughed, cold and sneering, "Why don't you say it?"

Ling Yuan was at a loss, tears hung in the corners of his eyes, his legs were weak for a while, and he knelt down slowly, "Concubine knows that she is wrong." ”

Wei Zhao said: "What's wrong?"

Ling Yuan was shocked and frightened, and said, "Concubine...... shouldn't talk nonsense, Sister Huang and Sister Huang are all for the concubine's good health......"

Wei Zhao slowly leaned down, "You don't have anything else to tell me."

Ling Yuan's face was pale, and he cried so much that his makeup was spent, and he was obviously scared. When she saw Wei Zhao's cold face and sharp gaze, she regretted it in her heart, and cried: "No, it's all concubines talking nonsense, Lang Jun spared me this time." ”

Wei Zhao looked at her once, and originally thought that this maid was from a high gate, she was born beautiful and affectionate, and she knew how to advance and retreat, but now it seems that she has hidden a lot of eyes, but I don't know if she is anxious to get pregnant to consolidate her position, or if she has any other hidden secrets. If it was the latter, a feeling of disgust flashed in Wei Zhao's eyes, "You are confused, the Huang family is a concubine, you are a maid, you don't know how to be respectful, not to mention that you still dare to have a grudge against Yudu, go out, and kneel in the courtyard." ”

Hearing this, Ling Yuan almost softened, crying with tears on her face, very pitiful, she had to beg again.

Wei Zhao didn't look at her anymore, and said impatiently: "Don't get out of here." ”

Ling Yuan struggled to get up, knelt in the courtyard facing the study, his body curled up, and when he saw Wei Ji and Huang Zhiyin coming, he lowered his head even more, gritted his teeth, and his face was white and red for a while.

Wei Ji didn't look at her much, just looked at the tense atmosphere inside and outside the study, and her heart also hung up, and she first tried to look inside, facing Wei Zhao's cold face.

Wei Zhao's face was dark, still angry, on the ground of the study, a few smashed cups were not cleaned up, he raised his head, frowned and shouted to the outside: "Where are the people......

But to the face of Shang Wei Jiao who poked in.

Wei Ji looked angry at him and immediately shrank back.

Wei Zhao was stunned, his anger was reduced, and he said with a straight face: "Come in." ”

Wei Jiao, his footsteps are very light, and Wei Zhao has spent a lot of time, knowing that he has a strong temper, but he has never encountered him so fiercely exposed, Wei Jiao's whole body is tense, as if he has encountered a fierce beast in the wild, and he approaches cautiously.

"Second brother," Wei Ji said softly, "What's going on like this?"

Wei Zhao pursed his lips, his heart was as irritable as if he was pouring oil on fire, but Wei Shen and Le's were not his biological parents, he couldn't say anything anyway, and his body was like a layer of frost.

"Why are you here," Wei Zhao asked angrily.

Wei Zhao got closer and found that Wei Zhao was clenched into a fist with one hand, the muscles in his arms were tense, and the green tendons were floating out, she was secretly frightened, and endured her frightened instinct, reached out and patted Wei Zhao's hand very lightly, "Second brother, don't hold it in your heart if you have any troubles, tell me about it." ”

Wei Zhao turned his head and saw her little white jade face looking at him worriedly and timidly, and her dark eyes seemed to be about to look into people's hearts.

In the entire Wei Mansion, only Yudu made him care, and he exhaled lightly, "It's nothing, I was by a stupid maid just now." ”

Wei Ji didn't believe it, not to mention that Ling Yuan was definitely not a stupid maid, and with Wei Zhao's city government, he wouldn't be angry like this for a backyard maid.

"Second brother, don't look at my young age, but I know a lot of things, you can discuss with me if you have any worries, the so-called one person is short and two people are long, the second brother is a wise man, and a thousand worries will inevitably make a mistake, tell me to listen, maybe it won't help much, but you can help the second brother check and fill in the gaps."

Wei Zhao listened to her voice speak slowly and slowly, and said, "Okay, do your best." Having said that, but the fire in his heart disappeared a little, and he couldn't help but glance at her again, this younger brother not only looks good, but also has a sweet mouth and can coax people. But then he thought that in fact, the two of them were not really brothers of the same clan, they were not related by blood, and their faces were a little darker.

Wei Ji couldn't understand Wei Zhao's face was cloudy, and his emotions seemed to become extremely fast. She hurriedly said: "Second brother doesn't need to eat yet, I'm hungry too, it's good to ask someone to bring some food."

After saying that, he turned around and called out the door, Huang Zhiyin immediately called someone to clean up, and the servant brought the dishes, including a refreshing and appetizing assorted soup, stewed noodles with lentils, and two plates of lettuce and sliced meat. Wei Ji had actually eaten it, but in order to accompany Wei Zhao, she took a bowl of soup and drank it.

Wei Zhao didn't eat rudely, but he also ate very quickly, and after eating a few bites of stewed noodles, he found that Wei Zhao was still drinking soup in small bites, and sandwiched a piece of chopsticks and meat over, "Don't learn to be like a girl, if you eat so little, you can only be so short forever in the future." ”

Wei Ji: "......"

She ate the meat hard, and saw that Wei Zhao was about to come over with chopsticks again, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, people are different, I can't learn your appetite." ”

Wei Zhao paused slightly and glanced at her.

This gaze made Wei Ji feel that something was wrong, and she couldn't say why.

After eating, waiting for the servants to clean up, Wei Zhao suddenly said: "You and I really don't look like brothers." ”

Wei Ji turned her face to look at him, "The nine sons of Longsheng are all different, and the brothers are not all similar. She saw that he seemed to have something on her mind, so she said a few more words, "Besides, the Wei family has always preached the word, and when you come to the second brother, you have made meritorious contributions with martial arts, and now you are the most promising of the descendants of the Wei family, I would like to be like the second brother, but I don't have that ability." ”

She said a word of flattery, thinking that Wei Zhao would be comfortable, but she didn't expect his brows to furrow even deeper.

Wei Zhao said: "Yudu, what if you and I are not brothers?"

Wei Zhao was stunned for a moment, her heart skipped a beat, wondering if she had shown her feet somewhere, could it be that Wei Zhao found out that she was not a brother but a sister, and she was beating her today Wei Ji was shocked for a while, but looking at Wei Zhao's expression, it didn't seem to be the case.

She felt weak in her heart, grabbed Wei Zhao's sleeve and said, "Second brother, how can you say such things, no matter what my identity is, you are always my second brother." ”

These two "second brother" calls made Wei Zhao's heart hot, seeing her drooping face, her expression became depressed, his compelling sharpness was reduced a lot, and he reached out and touched her head, "It's too squeamish, but say it casually." ”

Wei Ji took a deep breath, thinking that this was also something that could be said casually, almost scaring me to death. Raising his eyes and glancing at Wei Zhao, his face was very cold and resolute, but at this time, he seemed to have a feeling of loneliness.
