The emperor is such a suspicious person. Usually he has to catch up with the wind and shadow when he is fine, let alone this scene happening in front of him? It would be fine if Tuoba Zhen did not defend himself at that time, but when he turned around, he was exposed how he trampled on the deposed prince, and his mask had been torn to pieces! Tuoba Zhen thought that Li Weiyang was dealing with the queen and the prince, but his real purpose was not expected.
The darkness in Li Weiyang's eyes seemed to flow with fire, and his voice was very slow: "Then, the prince was imprisoned, where did the poison he took come from?"
Zhang De'er hesitated for a while, looked at the emperor's face and said, "This... I dare not say anything."
The emperor was extremely angry at this moment and said sternly: "Say!"
Zhang De'er said tremblingly: "Yes... it was a green jade wine pot with a dragon that the third prince sent. The lid was twisted. Half was filled with wine, and the other half was sealed poison, which was for the mandarin duck pot. Originally, the third prince was sent to the prince as an ordinary thing. This thing - said to be a forbidden item in the palace of the previous dynasty, was very rare. The prince originally liked it very much and often took it out to enjoy it, but after being imprisoned, the wine pot was put on the shelves. At first, the prince heard that the third prince did not believe what the third prince did, but over time he believed it, and he became more angry the more he thought about it, and became a little confused. Sometimes he forgot to eat the food. Later, somehow he turned out the wine pot - filled with water and twisted the mouth of the pot..."
In fact, Zhang De'er took out the wine pot himself and placed it in front of the prince, but of course he would not tell the emperor about this sentence. He collected 100 taels of gold from the mysterious man, and as long as he played this loyal servant, he could get a **. How could he not be willing?
Of course, he knew that the third prince would not let him go easily, but as long as the other party acted rashly, the whole world would know what Tuoba Zhen did. This was simply unconcealedly telling everyone that Tuoba Zhen had something to do with the death of the prince. Will he do such a stupid thing? Zhang De'er believed that obviously would not.
Li Weiyang looked at Princess Anguo and smiled slightly. His smile was like a frozen lake for thousands of years, full of coldness, as if it could soak every bone of the enemy, and it was cold in an instant. However, this smile seemed to be silent to others.
Princess Anguo looked at Li Weiyang and felt that the smile on her face was very terrible. She suddenly shivered, as if a cold wind was approaching her bones and her heart was completely cold. This woman must have known everything, she designed everything, she personally dug the trap, waiting for herself and Tuoba Zhen to jump down! And she clearly became the piece of meat hanging next to the trap, waiting for Tuoba Zhen, the tiger, to take the bait!
Seeing her look strange, Li Weiyang pretended to be silent and said lightly: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Princess Anguo took a step back, but found that there was a wall behind her, and she couldn't speak for a moment.
Tuoba Zhen's eyes flashed with anger, and he choked his throat, and he was already hoarse: "Father, although the son minister did not frame the prince, he failed to control the servants in the mansion, so that they neglected the prince's envoy and asked his father to punish him."
Li Weiyang sneered. After all, Tuoba Zhen refused to admit his sins at all. But it doesn't matter. Whether he admits it or not does not matter. What matters is whether the emperor believes it.
The emperor's eyes were filled with suspicion. His inquiring eyes fell on Tuoba Zhen, full of doubts, and even a hint of vigilance and disgust appeared. At this time, a sudden report from the guard came from outside: "Your Majesty, the deposed prince is gone."
Tuoba really had a heart that suddenly sank.
In the next moment, the emperor's expression became extremely terrifying. His teeth were clenched, his eyebrows were twisted, and his breathing was fluctuating violently, as if he was about to break out in the next moment. At the critical moment, Concubine Rou gently said: "Your Majesty, be careful of your body."
The emperor was stunned and glanced at Concubine Rou. Concubine Rou looked very gentle, obviously caring about him from the bottom of her heart. His chest was undulating, and the color that could not be understood in his eyes was complicated. After a while, his expression slightly relaxed and he said reluctantly: "I am tired, I want to rest. The deposed prince - let's be buried with the ceremony of the prince."
The prince's ritual - the meaning of this sentence is very profound, at least to show that the emperor believed that the prince made a mistake and was framed. After saying this, the emperor left without even looking at Tuoba Zhen.
Tuoba Zhen knew that the emperor had left, all he had worked hard for many years was over. He rushed forward and grabbed the hem of the emperor's dragon robe: "Father, son minister--"
The emperor suddenly turned around, and the ferocity on his face that he tried his best to suppress appeared in an instant, and he kicked Tuoba Zhen hard: "Get out!" Then, he left without looking back. Concubine Rou smiled slightly and pulled the stunned Ninth Princess to leave together.
Tuoba really didn't expect the emperor to kick this kick. He almost didn't even snort, and was kicked to the corner in a sudden and spat out a mouthful of blood. Princess Anguo rushed over and hugged him and said, "Are you okay?!" However, Tuoba really didn't know where the strength came from, so he pushed her away: "Don't touch me!" Princess Anguo's face was extremely embarrassed, but at this time, what else could be more embarrassing than the exposure of all her secrets? She held back the humiliation and said with red eyes: "You know you blame me, what does it have to do with me!"
Tuoba really ignored her completely and stood up and wanted to chase the emperor, but he didn't expect the guard to block the door: "Third Highness, at the order of Your Majesty, please and the Third Prince's Concubine return to the Third Prince's Mansion immediately after the Queen's funeral. If there is no imperial edict, you must not leave the mansion gate!"
"Is this a secret prison?" Princess Anguo was shocked.
The guard lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard it. Princess Anguo was simply furious: "You can't do this, I'm Princess Yuexi!"
Behind him, a chuckle came. Princess Anguo turned around and met Li Weiyang's face. She angrily said, "Li Weiyang, are you satisfied now?! All of this was designed by you, you bitch?!"
The coldness in Li Weiyang's eyes was like layers of smoke, and finally spread out with a faint ridicule: "Princess, you are wrong. I don't know you are a stone girl, how could you frame you?"
Princess Anguo was poked into the sore area and was so angry that she was extremely angry: "Stop talking!"
Her charming face turned extremely ferocious at this moment, but Li Weiyang chuckled softly and said, "Oh, are you angry like this? I am really scared. If one person and two people know the princess's secret, these two people will be in danger. But the news is about to spread throughout Dali. The princess will become a celebrity in Dali. Everyone will say that the princess Anguo used deception to marry the third prince and did not allow the third prince to take a concubine. She is such a lunatic - not only that, she is a stone girl, but she also has to hook up with the guards in the palace. What a strange and erotic romantic event."
Li Weiyang's voice was very gentle, sounding like a warm wind blowing through his ears, but it was extremely vicious, like a blunt knife with a gap, swinging towards Princess Anguo one by one, cutting her flesh and blood apart. Such stimulation is far more painful than stabbing her on the body! In fact, whether Princess Anguo is a stone girl is nothing to do with her, Li Weiyang, but Anguo should not have been killed so cruelly! Li Weiyang lost his best friend, of course, he also wanted to let Princess Anguo taste the taste of thousands of people pointing to it! It is too easy to kill someone, but she must let her feel pain a thousand times more, but she must let her live! What's the point of being disgraced? She will know one day that this is just the beginning.
Princess Anguo stared at Li Weiyang coldly: "You will regret it!"
Li Weiyang sighed and said, "This is what I said to the princess. I hope you take care of it without authorization." As she said that, she also left here lightly. In fact, she didn't have to come, because she would eventually get a little suspicious, but - she just wanted to see Tuoba Zhen and Princess Anguo in pain with her own eyes. The more angry they were, the happier she was. I think Sun Yanjun would be very happy.
However, Tuoba Zhen chased the door. Although he was stopped by the guards, he still said coldly: "Stop for me!"
Li Weiyang turned around and looked at him with a smile: "The Third Prince has something to say?"
Seeing this smiling face, Tuoba Zhen only felt his temples stumble and thunderously. His eyes were irrepressible with hatred, and he said, "Li Weiyang, I will not be defeated so easily."
Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows, and the sunset outside shone over, with a deep shadow, outlining her figure like a silhouette. She said calmly: "Oh? What does it have to do with me?" After that, she smiled with a smile on her face, and she even felt a little careless.
Tuoba Zhen stared at her coldly, with her bright eyes, as if there was an unpredictable flame inside, and her eyes were terrible cold: "So, you must wait." See how I pinch your bones and eat up all your flesh and blood!
Li Weiyang turned around and stopped looking at him. He just said, "Okay, I'll wait to see your ability." Then she turned around and left, not looking back.
Everyone left, leaving only Tuoba Zhen and Princess Anguo. Princess Anguo said with tears in her eyes: "Tuoba Zhen...I...I'm not trying to hide it from you...I'm afraid you can't accept it!"
Tuoba Zhen only felt the flames in his heart spread endlessly, and he just wanted to strangle the woman in front of him to death! This stupid thing, his painstaking management, was ruined by her!
An Guo was still pressing it up without knowing how to do it. He could no longer help but slapped her viciously, slapped her half a face. A little blood flowed down her lips. An Guo covered his mouth and accidentally fell a tooth, which showed how cruel the slap was: "You...you..." She could no longer stand up, trembling and huddled on the ground, crying bitterly.
Tuoba Zhen didn't even look at her. Without saying a word, he smashed everything in the hall that could throw with his hands. No one dared to stop him. The guards stood outside the door and watched silently.
After half an hour, there was nowhere to be found around him. Tuoba Zhen stopped. His emotions calmed down very quickly. Now, he was able to face his failure calmly. Did Li Weiyang think that it would be possible to defeat him like this? He had been planning for so long, but he was careless for a moment and was ruined by Princess Anguo. He would soon make a comeback. Li Weiyang, please watch slowly.
When Princess Anguo saw Tuoba Zhen who suddenly calmed down, she couldn't help but shrink her body slightly. Fear was a human instinct, and for some reason, she felt doubled her fear at this moment. Tuoba Zhen suddenly looked at her, and Princess Anguo trembled for no reason. She had never been so afraid of someone. Tuoba Zhen in front of her seemed to suddenly become extremely terrifying.
"Come here!" Tuoba Zhen stretched out his hand to her. An Guo was afraid, but had no choice but to reach out. Tuoba Zhen held her hand and stroked it patiently, very gentle, but this kind of gentleness carries a bone-eroding hatred: "An Guo, you have implicated me once. From now on, you have to listen to me, otherwise-"
Before An Guo could finish his words, he nodded quickly.
Tuoba Zhen smiled slightly, and his handsome face covered with a layer of coldness: "This is how you are good."
Li Weiyang left the hall gate, but he still heard the crying sound of Princess Anguo coming from the distance. Then for some reason, the voice quickly disappeared. In the corridor in front, Concubine Lian was waiting. Seeing Li Weiyang coming, she observed her expression and said, "Is everything done?"
Today, Concubine Lian cannot appear because the person who originally pointed out that the prince and Meiren Zhang had an affair was Concubine Lian. That is why Li Weiyang chose Concubine Rou, who has always been in conflict with the world. In the past ten years, Concubine Rou has not participated in any battle, so no matter what she said or "discovered", the emperor would believe it.
Seeing Li Weiyang nodding with affirmativeness, Concubine Lian glanced at the direction of the hall and said, "I'm very curious, how could you invite that smiling Bodhisattva."
The smiling Bodhisattva is the name of Concubine Lian’s behind the scenes. Because Concubine Lian had gone to Concubine Rou several times, intending to form an alliance with her, and was rejected by Concubine Rou in the form of Tai Chi. Although she never agreed, she never refused resolutely, leaving you a little hope so that she would not turn against her. Concubine Lian tried several times, but she was all over the wall, but she was so surprised, why could Li Weiyang persuade Concubine Rou to participate in this action? Is there any special way she had?
Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Everyone has weaknesses. Although Concubine Rou is a person who is indifferent to the world, she doesn't really care about anything."
Concubine Lian looked at Li Weiyang curiously, not understanding what she meant by saying this. Li Weiyang said, "We should go back, otherwise everyone will be suspicious if they can't find us."
Concubine Lian stopped and said slowly, "Are you suspicious of me, so you refuse to tell me Concubine Rou's secret?" She turned her head, but saw Li Weiyang looking over at the same time. Her eyes were like ancient wells, as if they were looking at her, and as if her eyes pierced her and saw her heart.
Concubine Lian was stunned and said, "I-I just asked casually, and there was no other intention."
Li Weiyang turned his face and looked at the palace maids in white not far away, standing with breath. They obviously couldn't hear the whispers here. Li Weiyang's eyes flashed faintly, but turned his head but had a faint smile: "Empress Lian Concubine, do you know who the concubine who will never stand in this palace is?"
Concubine Lian didn't know why she suddenly asked about this topic, and she couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Li Weiyang raised a smile on his lips: "For so many years, the concubines in the harem have come and go, and the emperor's new favorites are like a quick-witted replacement. The Empress, Concubine De, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Mei are all concubines who have gone far in the palace, but they all fell down. This is because they have too strong desires and too deep thoughts, and always want to get everything, so they are caught and removed. But Concubine Rou has always been able to maintain an undefeated position in the palace. No matter who presides over the things in the palace, the emperor has to give an order to respect Concubine Rou. These seven words are enough to show her status in the emperor's heart. Therefore, Concubine Rou is the real person who stands tall. Do you know why?"
Concubine Lian frowned and said, "Because she has received the holy family?"
Li Weiyang laughed: "This is just one aspect. The Holy Family will change at any time. In the palace, the queen wants to keep the crown prince, Concubine Mei wants to fight for power for herself, Concubine De wants to fight for the throne for the seventh prince. Everyone has secrets and ideas. But look, has Concubine Rou asked for anything? She always cared about her children but did not interfere too much, and did not even urge them to make progress. This led to the ninth princess' innocent temperament."
Concubine Lian disagreed and said, "This is not a good thing!"
Li Weiyang looked unusual, as if she was talking about something that was optional: "No, this is because without desire, it means hard." Does Concubine Rou have no desire? Of course, there is, but for more than ten years, she has been out of the matter and has never participated in any struggle. At least on the surface, this is true to the old saying, if you don't fight, you will fight.
Concubine Lian didn't understand. The more Li Weiyang said this, the more she wanted to know how the other party persuaded Concubine Rou. However, seeing that Li Weiyang was confused, she felt that the other party didn't want to tell her at all. She felt that the other party didn't want to tell her at all, but she changed the topic and said, "How can Your Majesty deal with them today?"
Li Weiyang said truthfully: "Imprisonment."
Concubine Lian felt a little surprised and asked, "This Princess Anguo is so arrogant on weekdays and has caused such a big disaster this time. Does Your Majesty still ignore it?" In her opinion, just imprisonment is too cheap. It is not to cut off the title and seize power, nor to tell the world... It is too light.
Li Weiyang said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty has made a decision on this matter. If others say anything, it will be difficult to add guilt."
Concubine Lian looked depressed, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Your Majesty will decide like this - it only means that he is starting to be kind and ruthless."
Li Weiyang just smiled, not very concerned: "Your Majesty is over fifty years old this year. Among his sons, there are only three third prince, seventh prince and eighth prince. He has exhausted his determination to deal with the prince. He may not be able to bear it if he adds one."
"What does it mean to have only three people?" Lian Fei blurted out, and then saw Li Weiyang looking at her, feeling that he was speechless, but he could not make up for it. He knew that he could only express his feelings, and his voice suddenly lowered eight degrees, "Isn't my son also the prince that His Majesty loves the most?"
Li Weiyang suddenly laughed when he heard this: "Empress Lian Concubine, do you want to learn from Empress Dowager Zhang?"
Empress Dowager Zhang was the concubine of Emperor Qing, the third emperor of the previous dynasty. After Emperor Qing passed away, Empress Dowager Zhang's son He ascended the throne. Because he was too young, the government was always in control of Empress Dowager Zhang. In the history books that Li Weiyang had read, Empress Dowager Zhang was described as a narrow-minded, selfish and mean woman who was determined to usurp the throne. In order to monopolize the power, Empress Dowager Zhang did not hesitate to kill, resulting in more than ten families who were destroyed due to suspicion and suspicion, and thousands of people died. However, in Li Weiyang's view, Empress Dowager Zhang was smart and decisive, suspicious and good at power, and always used heavy control and heavy punishment of the ministers to force them to use it, showing super powerful means.
It is precisely because this woman is so powerful that after Emperor He grew up, he was in trouble between his father's relatives, his mother and his relatives, and was in pain because of their struggles. After he took power, he wanted to make a difference and derogated many people favored by Empress Dowager Zhang, and tried to reuse and promote some people who were dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Zhang to form his own confidants. At the beginning, Empress Dowager Zhang felt unhappy about what Emperor He did, but Emperor He was her biological son after all, so she did not immediately have an attack. However, in the end, after Emperor He killed one of Empress Dowager Zhang's younger brothers, Empress Dowager Zhang finally decided to punish this disobedient son. She tried every means to invite Emperor He to the banquet. As a result, Emperor He went to the empress dowager's harem and was captured by ambushers and forced to be placed under house arrest. Afterwards, Empress Dowager Zhang began to rule the monarch for twenty years, and was powered by the government and the country.
Concubine Lian suddenly heard the three words "Empress Dowager Zhang", and a light flashed in her eyes, as if she was being pointed at her mind, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her face: "You--" She paused for a moment, and thought that it was useless to lie in front of Li Weiyang, so she whispered, "That's right, so, if you support me, I can help you, can't you?"
Li Weiyang said leisurely: "It is not impossible to assist the little prince in ascending the throne, but there is only one way."
Since taking revenge, Concubine Lian seemed to have suddenly lost her target, but when she saw the little prince, she suddenly had an idea. If her son could get the throne, wouldn’t she be able to take charge of the power of the Dali? At that time, she could rebuild the tombstone for her father, mother, and relatives to rehabilitate them, and she could return to her true identity Murong Xin with dignity. This was simply a wonderful thing!
Furthermore, she is now at the peak of her life, the emperor's body is declining, and the prince has been deposed, and the brothers Tuoba Zhen and Tuoba Yu fight to the death. Although the situation is chaotic, as long as you seize the opportunity, there is no hope. Of course, she understands her weight, and wanting to steal the throne from the two adult princes is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth. The only way is to wait until they fight to the death, and find a way to make profit from it... But the premise is that she must obtain the support of Li Weiyang. When she heard Li Weiyang speak like this, she was filled with surprise and said, "If it can be successful, I can promise you everything you want!"
So impatient, it was completely different from the cautious concubine Lian in the past. Li Weiyang smiled and looked at her, his voice softly, and he could not hear any emotion: "Unless you die."
The four words caught off guard made Concubine Lian calm down quickly like a basin of cold water. She was shocked greatly in her heart, and her mouth opened, but she couldn't say a word. After a long time, she made a sound and said calmly: "If you don't want to, why bother saying such things!"
Li Weiyang's smile gradually gathered, stared at her and said, "Empress Lianfei, you and I are friends, so I will tell the truth. If you reveal a little bit of the intention of the little prince ascending the throne in front of His Majesty, or if you let others peek at your thoughts, your fate will be a dead end."
The thin layer of blood faded away quickly on Concubine Lian's beautiful face, but she realized that Li Weiyang was neither mocking her for her delusions nor making jokes casually, and the other party was seriously warning her.
Li Weiyang's shallow three-point smile spread out his lips, and he said very clearly: "I know, you must be thinking in your heart that with your favor in front of His Majesty, there must be a way to persuade him, right? Or, you hope that Tuoba Zhen and Tuoba Yu both suffer losses, and your son can benefit from it - but, if one day His Majesty really wants to let the little prince ascend the throne, the first thing he has to do is kill his mother and keep his son."
Concubine Lian's face changed and she said, "What did you say?"
"If you don't die, the little prince will succeed him at a young age, and he will inevitably have great power in the hands of his mother. And you are too young and a female person, you must have help from your relatives. I know that you are the orphan of Murong, but the Murong family also has a main branch and a side branch. When you arrived at Dali alone from the old place, if you didn't have the help of these people, you would definitely not be able to do it. If your son ascended the throne, in order to protect yourself and him, you will definitely find ways to rely on them. In this way, one day, a huge relative will form, which will definitely have a great impact on the Tuoba family's territory. Even if your relatives are gone, you are so young and beautiful, how can you know that you will not rely on powerful ministers? Your Majesty is worried to leave you! Once you die, this potential hidden danger will disappear." Li Weiyang said slowly.
Concubine Lian couldn't help but feel a strange trembling: "This is impossible. The little prince is so young, if he doesn't have a kiss around him.
How can my biological mother survive in the palace?!”
Li Weiyang never moved his eyes, staring at her without a moment, his eyes were very bright: "There are many concubines in the palace who have no children in the child,"
Concubine Lian looked very ugly, and the positions of the four concubines were vacant at once. The emperor mentioned two older concubines who had been in the palace for a long time, one Concubine Jing and one Concubine Kang, but they all had three characteristics. They had a deep experience in the palace, but they were not favored and had no children. She said slowly: "Since you have killed your biological mother, how can you hand over your child to your adoptive mother? Are you not afraid of relatives?"
Li Weiyang smiled faintly: "Others come to raise this child, no matter how you say it is an outsider without blood relationship. Even if this adoptive mother becomes the queen mother, she can enjoy the powerful for a while. What will happen ten years later? "The blood relationship is endless, and sometimes affection is distant. After all, Concubine Lian doesn't understand. The so-called killing mother and keeping a child is not the mother herself, but the son. What is plotting against is not the family affection, but the human heart!
To be continued...
