Chapter 112 The Irritated Villain’s Beloved (7)
After hearing the news, Wei Changyuan turned sideways and squeezed in from behind the soldiers.
The man's slender back, his face could not be seen clearly, and he was wearing ordinary clothes. Neither the jade pendant nor the jade crown were worn by ordinary people, and Wei Changyuan could not tell who he was.
Bai Xingzhou sat with his back against a big tree, and the two of them stood behind the tree and waited for a long time. The deputy general's feet were sore, but Bai Xingzhou didn't turn around.
The Duke of Zhen Guo never went to court, and he was only seen during annual festivals and in spring.
The deputy general had only seen Bai Xingzhou in portraits and was not sure of his identity.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the deputy general grabbed Wei Changyuan, and the man who had half-closed his eyes to rest his eyes opened his eyes.
"It's him. Didn't he go to Nanhuai?"
The lieutenant general hesitated for a long time, "General, I heard that the Zhenguo government sent someone to deliver a letter to Nanhuai, but it was detained by the Yamen on the grounds that it could not pass the customs without documents. I guess it is Miss Bai who does not want to marry Liu Shaoyu. Liu Shaoyu and Liu Shaoyu
Ru'er is a cousin, and I heard that the brother and sister had a great relationship when they were young."
Childhood sweetheart? Wei Changyuan slandered that he was afraid that Bai Qingzhi would be controlled by the Liu family when she married, otherwise she would be in such a hurry to find the Duke of Zhen and return to the capital.
Wei Changyuan knows better than anyone how chaotic the yamen is.
The Ministry of Husbandry cannot control the Yamen. There are many people from the Liu family serving as officials in the court. I am afraid this is intentional.
"General, does Bai Qingzhi know anything?"
"Oh, what can she, a proud daughter of a harem, know?" Wei Changyuan was just talking nonsense as a lieutenant.
The lieutenant general disagreed.
"Rumors are just rumors. If she really offends the whole capital, General, maybe she knows much more than us." No one in the court stood on the side of the General's Mansion. The deputy general hoped that the General could win over the Duke of Zhen.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what the Liu family has planned.
The Duke of Zhen Guo only had one daughter, and there was no subsequent marriage. Liu Shaoyu married Bai Qingzhi. When Duke Zhen Guo died, the entire Duke Zhen Guo's palace fell into Bai Qingzhi's hands.
If the Liu family had evil thoughts and found a way to strangle Bai Qingzhi to death, without anyone noticing, everything in the Zhenguo Palace would become the Liu family's.
The abacus ball flicked to his face, and Bai Xingzhou couldn't see clearly if he didn't believe it.
"Let's go and meet him."
The daughter's reputation was not good, and it had nothing to do with her father. Wei Changyuan opened his legs, and the deputy general ordered the two of them to follow.
"Who is coming?"
The attendant drew his sword and stood in front of Bai Xingzhou.
Pulling off his mask, Wei Changyuan clasped his fists and introduced himself to his home, "Wei Changyuan, I have met Duke Zhen Guo."
"General Wei is not in the capital, why does he appear here?"
With his right hand behind his back, Bai Xingzhou looked at Wei Changyuan with great interest.
The man's muscular figure was wrapped in night clothes, and a soft sword was wrapped around his waist. The hilt of the sword was partially exposed on the back of his broad shoulders.
The appearance here in this outfit is definitely not for official business.
To the Yuan Kingdom, Wutou Mountain was just a strange mountain close to the capital. Bai Xingzhou did not dare to say for sure, because if the ancestors of the Wei family mentioned it, Wei Changyuan should not know about it at his age.
Wei Changyuan stated his intention to come, just to meet with the Duke of Zhen and go about his own business.
"When younger generations see their elders, they can't hide away or even say hello. The Wei family has never taught them the family motto. Chang Yuan once again apologizes to the Duke of Zhen."
After that, he cupped his fists and saluted again.
"So, you and I met by chance?" Bai Xingzhou knew that the other party deliberately concealed his whereabouts, so he let him do what he wanted and went about his own business without disturbing each other.
"yes."
Seeing that Wei Changyuan was so frank, Bai Xingzhou no longer hesitated, clasped his hands into fists, and spoke sincerely, "I will keep a low profile when returning to Beijing this time. I also ask the general to do it in front of our ancestors and not to get angry."
"Is it for your concubine's marriage?" Wei Changyuan was half right in his bet, frowning slightly, "Liu Shaoyu is not a talented person, so the Liu family has put their mind to the marriage, and they want the Duke of Zhen to know about it."
With such a useless son-in-law, the wise Duke of Zhen Guo was completely ruined.
Bai Xingzhou did not do what Wei Changyuan thought, and actually had a proud smile on his face.
"I like how straightforward you are. You are not like those people who always talk in roundabout ways. It's too tiring."
The mask of hypocrisy has been worn for a long time and cannot be easily taken off. It is indeed a blessing for the country to have such an upright young man in the General's Palace, but it is a pity that the royal family is not what it used to be.
"The Liu family has a noble concubine. Does the general know about it?"
"Of course," Wei Changyuan lifted up his robe and sat on the ground, "The imperial concubine is now your favorite, and your Majesty is turning your back every day. Don't tell me, even if the Duke of Zhen comes forward, he may not be able to make your Majesty take back his will."
A promise worth a thousand pieces of gold, let alone a royal decree.
The emperor is the supreme emperor, and the imperial edict has been issued. Wei Changyuan can't think of any way to make the emperor willingly withdraw the edict.
Lowering his eyes and smiling, turning his rosary beads, Bai Xingzhou spoke in a calm tone and looked forward, "No, I can do it. If your father is still alive, he can do it too."
Although the emperor is confused, he still has to do a good job in saving face.
Bai Xingzhou was absolutely sure that Wei Changyuan could see things turning around.
For some reason, Wei Changyuan looked at Bai Xingzhou and thought of the two letters in the secret room.
The first letter was to save his life. The second letter was to let him act like a brother.
The location of his sister's coffin has been determined, but there are people guarding the tomb, so Wei Changyuan did not dare to disturb the coffin.
Bai Xingzhou often walks in Wutou Mountain, and Wei Changyuan showed up for no other reason than to hope that Bai Xingzhou can solve his urgent need.
"letter?"
Most of the Liu family members in the court, Bai Xingzhou could not figure out who would write the letter to rescue Wei Changyuan.
Bai Xingzhou understood that Wei Changyuan had many enemies and no one in the court was friendly with him.
"Definitely not a harem. It is extremely difficult to get in and out of the harem, unless the other party has an insider in the palace, and this person is not a harem, but works as an errand in His Majesty's palace."
After much thought, the only person who could freely enter and leave the palace was the eunuch in charge of the emperor, Eunuch Ye.
But Eunuch Ye has never met Wei Changyuan, so why should he help him?
Wei Changyuan couldn't figure it out either.
After the two groups gathered, Bai Xingzhou took the lead and the tomb-keepers, no matter who came, would all be executed on the spot.
There was absolutely no one around Bai Xingzhou. The two tomb guards were killed instantly, and a group of people successfully entered the hinterland of Wutou Mountain.
"This was originally a royal mausoleum. Your sister was placed here. When you go back, remember to find an expert to chant sutras and save her. Poor child."
The construction of imperial tombs is very particular, but unfortunately one wrong step led to the downfall of the entire family.
The evil spirit was too strong, it was still dark, and people felt chilly.
"Find the coffin and leave immediately. Don't linger."
Bai Xingzhou is only responsible for guiding the way. The task is completed and he will not enter it.
Wei Changyuan nodded, and the deputy general stayed behind to guard the door.
Wei Changyuan acted cautiously and did not stay too long. He picked up the coffin and left the imperial mausoleum immediately.
After all, it was someone else's territory. Wei Jiayu was buried here, and all she saw were the remnants of the previous dynasty. How could she be buried in peace?
"Huh, what a Liu Ru'er. She plays with the emperor and wants to control the court? Oh, there is no way."
Hearing Wei Changyuan's gnashing of teeth, Bai Xingzhou was puzzled.
"When you fight in the harem, you die or I live. But your sister didn't threaten her, why would she be so cruel?" Bai Xingzhou suspected that Liu Ru'er did it deliberately after placing the coffin in the former imperial mausoleum with such evil spirits.
Of.
