"As promised beforehand, I don't know much about Sun Tai, so I may not be able to help you."
When a person is about to die, his words are also good.
At this stage, Sima Daozi also completely understood that his failure was not caused by Wang Mi, nor was it caused by Wang Gong.
He was completely fucked to death by his own tricks.
And the person who forced him to this point was none other than Sun Tai.
He is the chief culprit.
And how could he, the victim, be spared?
In this Jianchun Palace, a wonderful conversation was going on. The former enemies, Wang Mi and Sima Daozi, were actually able to stand on the same front.
Even if this is only a short-term alliance and does not represent an alliance at all, such a scene is unimaginable.
"As long as the king is willing to speak, it will always be useful."
"Wei Chen would like to know if Sun Tai has another place to live in Jiankang City?"
"A store you often go to?"
"He has a house in the big city, but in the past he often lived in the palace and didn't go there often. Now the whole city is searching for him, and I don't think he will go back."
"Don't have too much hope in the rest of the place. Cunning Rabbit has three caves. A shrewd person like Sun Tai will never let Gu know his hiding place."
"That's right."
"Okay, Your Highness, you should rest first while I go to give my orders."
Wang Mi stood up, and Sima Daozi followed his gaze and asked suspiciously: "Aren't you going to deal with me?"
"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry."
"Wait until we catch Sun Tai first."
"Sun Tai?"
"King Langya Gu, a royal family member of the Jin Dynasty, and a brother of the emperor, you actually want to put a monster like Gu He together to deal with it?"
"Wang Zhiyuan, don't bully others too much!"
As soon as he heard that he might end up with the same fate as Sun Tai, Sima Daozi immediately became angry.
According to Sima Daozi's idea, although they were both going to die, his death was obviously much higher than Sun Tai's death.
For example, if Sun Tai beheaded, Sima Daozi would divide the body into five pieces.
Sun Tai abandoned the city, Sima Daozi should be cut in half!
Sun Tai dies first, and Sima Daozi also has to hold the battle from behind, so that he can be impressive!
"Why is this so much bullying, Your Majesty?"
"When we catch Sun Tai and deal with you, won't you be able to live for a few more days?"
"Do you want to die now?"
ah!
That can't be done.
Let's wait until Sun Tai is caught.
Suddenly, I don't want Sun Tai to be caught so soon. Old Suntou, you have to fight for your breath and run out of the city.
…………
After a night of chaos, Wang Mi was about to go home for a visit, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by He Xiang as soon as he walked out of the palace door.
Wang Mi knew this woman, she was the queen's maid.
Ah, no, she should be called the Queen Mother now.
"Servant Wang, the Queen Mother please come over."
Let it go. However, these people are too strange. They came here specially to invite them but did not explain their purpose. What kind of joke is this?
If Wang Zhenying was still the queen, she would never dare to invite foreign ministers easily. The only person she could see normally was her brother Wang Aning.
But things are different now. Their identities are different.
Upgraded.
The position of the Queen Mother is not just the emperor's wife. If Wang Zhenying is still the emperor's wife, then according to the prevailing rules, she cannot participate in the politics of the previous dynasty.
But after becoming the Queen Mother, Wang Zhenying appeared in the court of the Jin Dynasty as a mother.
Since ancient times, our ancestors have attached great importance to filial piety.
The Queen Mother's position is sometimes higher than that of the Emperor. After all, whether he is his biological son or not, a son must always respect his mother.
By the time of the Jin Dynasty, the situation was obvious again.
The little emperor can't even speak. Of course, this court requires the Queen Mother to be the regent. As the regent, of course, she needs to meet with foreign ministers. Otherwise, how can she know what's going on in the court?
Wang Mi came to the Queen Mother's bedroom and stood in the main hall in a polite manner. He followed He Xiang's instructions.
This was his first time to meet Wang Zhenying alone. Not long ago, even when Sima Yao was still alive, he didn't have such an opportunity.
This young woman who had just been promoted to Queen Mother came to him specifically. What did she want to talk about?
Is there anything that cannot be said directly in court?
"Master Wang, I've been waiting for a long time."
It didn't take long for Wang Zhenying to come from the inner hall. Her steps were light and her voice was brisk. At first glance, she was not affected by her husband's death.
On the contrary, as Wang Mi expected, she was very happy when Sima Yao died.
It’s almost heavenly beautiful!
"Whatever the Queen Mother orders, Zhiyuan will definitely obey."
Wang Zhenying waved her hand and said with a smile: "Shilang Wang, don't be so nervous. I don't want you to do anything."
"You just captured Sima Daozi, which is already a great achievement. I have to celebrate it for you."
He Xiang led several palace maids and brought several plates of snacks. Only then did Wang Mi remember the current time.
I feel really hungry.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward."
"Shilang Wang, I have a person here who would like to ask your opinion on how to deal with it."
Wang Mi was halfway through chewing the snack when he suddenly froze.
Huh?
What's happening here?
Why do two people line up to come to him for advice?
I have never felt so important!
However, after thinking about it, Wang Mi understood again.
It's not that he is important, but the people he represents are more important.
It was his father-in-law Xie An!
Many times, due to various reasons, Xie An no longer often walks outside his home. This is not because he is in poor health, but because he has detached himself from court politics and does not want to participate more.
However, just because he does not participate does not mean that he does not care, nor does it mean that he will tolerate everything.
Xie An is now the only famous official in the Jin Dynasty who can call the shots!
Famous ministers are different from powerful ministers.
There are powerful ministers in almost every era, but famous ministers are hard to come by.
Xie An was very famous in both the northern and southern courts. Even the deceased Fu Jian built a huge mansion for Xie An in Chang'an City, and he was highly regarded!
It can be seen that Xie An's reputation is not only good, but also very high.
Not everyone can have such a great reputation that can be recognized and praised by both the northern and southern courts.
Therefore, although Xie An seemed to have a detached mind, in fact, if he wanted to accomplish this matter in the Jin Dynasty, he still needed Lao Xie's nod.
However, Lao Xie didn't just meet him whenever he wanted, and some of his actions had shown that he regarded this newly recruited grandson-in-law as his right-hand man.
What would Xie An think? It would be a good choice to test Wang Mi's voice here.
Even if Wang Mi is unsure, just ask him to discuss it with Xie An.
"My dearest lady, it's okay to say so."
"Mrs. Pei, whom Your Majesty favored before, is now being kept in her former dormitory, Qingyin Hall. According to my investigation, this person has a great relationship with Your Majesty's collapse. The imperial court must deal with this person."
"We can't just kill one Zhang Guiren to end the problem!"
It turns out that Wang Zhenying also secretly investigated the matter?
Wang Mi was a little shocked. He had really ignored the strength of the queen in the inner palace before.
For a long time, Wang Zhenying appeared in front of the court ministers, always with the image of an abandoned wife in the cold palace who was not loved by Sima Yao.
Wang Zhenying seemed to accept Sima Yao's displeasure well and had no intention of fluttering. Such women are still very common in the harem, especially some queens who occupy the main position in the middle palace.
Therefore, she did not attract Wang Mi's attention.
Now it seems that he was still too hasty.
Now that Sima Yao is dead, among the women in the palace, the one who will benefit the most is Wang Zhenying!
Could it be that Wang Zhenying was behind Sima Yao's death?
The women in the palace are really terrible!
Thinking about it this way, Sima Yao is also a poor man!
No woman around him is sincere to him!
"Thank you for the tip, Madam. Since everyone says that this matter is related to Mrs. Pei, even if we can't get the evidence, she can't be kept!"
"There is evidence that this person has a close relationship with the Celestial Master Dao. He should have been sent to the palace by Sun Tai specifically to do evil!"
Heavenly Master Dao?
Wang Zhenying suddenly had a thought in her mind.
"If Tianshi Tao is behind all this, isn't Zhang Guiren innocent?"
Innocent?
It seems that it cannot be said that way.
After all, she still made the cakes, and people died in her hands.
Mrs. Pei is innocent and has not touched a finger. Just because you, Mr. Zhang, said the powder was stolen, does that mean it must have been stolen?
Pei's only disadvantage is her origin.
She was single-handedly selected by Sun Tai to enter the palace, and after today's battle, everyone knew that Sun Tai coveted the throne.
Then she, Mrs. Pei, has a big problem.
"What does the Queen mean by letting Zhang Guiren go?"
It feels like this!
Hasn’t this Zhang Guiren always been Wang Zhenying’s mortal enemy?
Since she entered the palace, Wang Zhenying's life has become even more difficult. Now that she has the opportunity to repay her past worries, will she not use it?
Is it true that beauty is so special that people pity her, and even sex is reluctant to put her to death?
Some emotions similar to my pity?
"Tell me, should I be released or not?" Wang Zhenying asked seriously. She has been struggling with this issue since she locked up Pei Jiaoer.
This person is a scourge and cannot be kept for a long time, but how to deal with Zhang Guiren has always been Wang Zhenying's worry.
If everything is true as she said, the medicinal powder was prepared by Pei himself, and she just mistook the medicinal powder for magical medicine, then she had no intention of murdering Sima Yao at all.
If everything was unintentional, it would indeed be too unfair to let Pei die instead of her.
They were all women in the harem, so he could understand Zhang Guiren's thoughts to a certain extent.
To say that the person Zhang Guiren hates the most in this harem is Pei, it would be ridiculous to ask her to die for Pei.
"The Queen Mother, don't be impatient for now. This matter is of great importance. I don't dare to make such a decision easily."
"It's better to wait until I go back to report to Mr. Xie, and then report back."
"Very good, that's what I mean too."
Wang Zhenying nodded and showed a smile. Wang Zhiyuan is a smart boy who can reveal everything at once.
If he really wants to compete for the position of powerful minister, his eldest brother is really no match for him.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhenying suddenly became nervous again.
…………
Wang Mi didn't have the time to care what the Queen Mother thought of him. The person he missed most now was his wife.
It has been more than ten days since we arrived in Jingkou. How can a newlywed couple break up abruptly before they enjoy enough of their sweet life?
Regardless of the chaos on the street, Wang Mi sneaked into Prince Langya's palace. After briefly explaining the situation to his uncle, he went to see his wife.
Xie Minghui also just moved back to the palace in the past few days. Before that, she had been taking care of Xie Xuan in the palace.
Although Xie Xuan's body collapsed, until now, this person is still there.
After several sisters persuaded her for a long time, she finally put aside her father's affairs and returned to the palace.
Looking at it this way, the sisters' persuasion brought her good luck, and her husband came back within a few days.
Xie Minghui was naturally filled with joy when she saw Wang Mi. If her father's serious illness hadn't still bothered her, she would have been elated.
It's a pity that her own Aweng didn't give her this time to be excited.
The young couple sat together, and before they could exchange a few words about home affairs, let alone communicate their feelings, another news came from the Xie Mansion.
It turned out to be an invitation sent by Xie An.
"If I had known earlier, I might as well not have come back!"
Xie Minghui's voice was full of helplessness. If it was in Xie's mansion, maybe she could stay with Zhiyuan for a while longer!
"Okay, okay." Wang Mi took Minghui's hand and said with a smile.
"I heard that you have been back for many days. How about taking this opportunity to go back and have a look?"
"I do have something important to talk to Ah Weng these two days, and I can't explain it in just a few words. If you are here, I can stay for a day or two."
It's not that Wang Mi is so anxious to see his wife or that he doesn't mind being his son-in-law.
He was doing it entirely for official reasons, and many things, including those of the former dynasty, the harem, and even Jingkou, needed to be reported to Xie An one by one.
These things are simple but hard to explain.
Wang Gong was also waiting for his reply, and even the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying in the harem was counting on him. It would be best to spend time together and have a serious discussion.
Now, the most favorable condition for Wang Mi is that the person in charge of the Wang family is his uncle Wang Hui, and his own biological father has passed away.
He is the only one left in his family. As long as Wang Hui has no objection, he can live wherever he wants.
No one cares.
How could Xie Minghui refuse such a good proposal?
Xie An was even more happy. Minghui could bring Wang Mi home more often, which was in line with his wishes. He chose Wang Mi as his grandson-in-law because of his talents.
For such a talented young man, although his surname is Wang and not Xie, it is a good thing as long as his granddaughter can keep holding him and make him listen to Xie An's teachings.
Seeing the young couple returning to Xie's Mansion together, Xie An beamed and asked the maid to prepare the meal.
"Zhiyuan, you must be tired."
"Wait a moment, the food will be ready soon. Let's chat while we eat."
The weather is getting colder, so Xie An has prepared the charcoal stove.
It seems that Mr. Xie also knows that today's long conversation will never end in a short time.
