Mrs.
Guo was going to the palace to see Concubine Guo Hui the next day, and Li Weiyang went with her.
Princess Chen Liu originally insisted on going, but her rheumatism recurred and she was lying in bed unable to get up.
Mrs.
Guo comforted her again and again, and After ensuring that nothing serious happened to Concubine Guo Hui, Princess Chen Liu gave up her thoughts of going with her.
The Guo family's carriage entered the palace early in the morning.
Because the palace where they originally lived caught fire, Concubine Guo Hui had to temporarily move to Huicheng Palace.
After tedious inspections and reports, when Li Weiyang and the others arrived, Guo Huifei was leaning on the bed, and Ms.
Liang beside her was feeding her medicine.
When Guo Huifei saw Mrs.
Guo, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said: "Big" Mrs.
Guo hurried up to greet her and checked carefully.
She saw that Concubine Guo Hui was not seriously injured except that her face was a little pale.
Then she felt at ease and asked Ms.
Liang, "Has the imperial doctor ever come to see you?"
Ms.
Liang bowed and said, "Yes, the imperial physician has checked for Concubine Hui's pulse.
He said that Concubine Hui just choked on some cigarettes, which is why she fainted.
As long as she takes a good rest, she will be fine.
Madam, please rest assured."
Mrs.
Guo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, looked at Concubine Guo tenderly and said, "Do you feel better now?"
The maid next to her quickly brought an embroidery stool for Guo Huifei and Li Weiyang to sit on.
Guo Huifei's eyes fell on Mrs.
Guo's gentle face, and she stretched out her hand to hold the other person's hand.
Tears flashed in her eyes: "I almost thought I would never see her again.
It’s time for you.”
Mrs.
Guo just calmed down and nodded: "We all understand that you are really wronged.
This happened too suddenly.
The princess originally wanted to come to the palace to see you, but..."
Concubine Guo Hui was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "You can't let mother know about this matter."
Li Weiyang was keenly aware of something from Concubine Guo Hui's words.
She and Mrs.
Guo looked at each other.
Mrs.
Guo hesitated for a moment and took the lead in speaking: "This fire is..."
An imperceptible uneasiness flashed across Guo Huifei's eyes quickly.
Before she could speak, she heard a voice next to her, clearly filled with anger: "Concubine, why didn't you tell Madam that the fire yesterday was intentional?
For this reason, it is not a scam at all.”
Li Weiyang turned around and saw a pretty figure walking quickly from the outer hall.
She was wearing a lavender dress and had big eyes.
She was pretty and cute.
She was the Princess of Nankang whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Princess Nankang suppressed the anger in her eyes and walked angrily to Mrs.

Guo.
She first performed the etiquette of a junior meeting an elder and then said: "Madam, you don't know that Prince Jing has already investigated this matter.
Someone is deliberately causing trouble."
When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she immediately frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense in Nankang."
Nan Kang gritted his teeth and looked at Concubine Guo Hui, with tears in her eyes: "Concubine, at this time, do you still want to hide it from Madam and Sister Jia'er?
You once said that you have no one to rely on in the palace, your only family is It’s the Guo family, why aren’t they willing to tell the truth in front of their family members?”
Li Weiyang looked at Princess Nankang and sighed in her heart: "We understand what Your Highness means.
The palace is heavily guarded, not to mention there are so many palace maids and eunuchs coming and going.
How could the fire develop so big without anyone noticing?
So the fire yesterday was definitely not an accident.”
Princess Nankang saw that the other party had the same view as hers, and grabbed Li Weiyang's hand.
Her voice was filled with incomparable resentment, but she had to whisper: "Sister Jia'er, my mother and concubine also knew that everything was not an accident, but they refused to let it go.
I mentioned it to my father, please help me persuade her.
If those people are allowed to do whatever they want, this will happen again one day."
Li Weiyang looked at Concubine Guo Hui.
The other party refused to reveal these things.
The most important reason must be that there was no evidence.
She dared to set fire to the palace.
With such courage, the person behind it was also ready to be revealed.
"Ms.
Liang, please put the medicine here.
Go out and see the other palace maids and eunuchs, and instruct them to guard the door.
No one is allowed to come in without my orders."
Concubine Guo Hui waved her hand, and Ms.
Liang retreated after hearing this.
When I went out, I just walked to the door.
I didn't know why I paused for a moment, and then I quickly left.
Seeing Concubine Guo Hui being so humiliated, Mrs.
Guo couldn't help but feel sad, but Concubine Guo's expression was so calm.
She said calmly: "I have been in the palace for many years, and this kind of thing has not happened once or twice.
It's just that The other party has never done anything so blatantly.
She did this just to warn me and the Guo family.
If I get scared or cry loudly, , What good is it for the Guo family, and what good is it for me?
It will only make others think that I was frightened by the fire, lost my manners as a concubine, and am suspicious and just adding to the joke.
"Don't forget what my mother and concubine told you.
Just say these words in front of Yamato Jia'er.
If even the slightest bit of news about this matter gets out, I will never spare you."
Princess Nankang couldn't help but raise her head to meet her gaze.
Guo Huifei's eyes were black and white, and her mood showed no fluctuation at all, as if she was not affected by the fire at all.
After all, Nankang was only sixteen years old, so she couldn't control herself and said: "Mother, concubine, is this the end of the matter?"
Seeing her persistence, Concubine Guo Hui was moved by her sincere concern, but she also shook her head: "So what if I don't care?
You think this palace belongs to the Guo family, and you can live in the palace while I arrest the murderer with great fanfare."
After so many years, it’s time to be sensible.
The more times like this, the more you have to keep a low profile.
Otherwise, you will change from a victim to a person who plots evil and spreads rumors.

People who originally sympathized with you will also doubt your intentions.
This is just right.
The other party’s conspiracy.”
Nankang was stunned and saw that Concubine Guo Hui was almost speechless.
Li Weiyang shook her head gently.
Concubine Guo Hui had been protecting Princess Nankang for so many years.
Although the incident with Princess Daiming last time, Nankang understood that people are unpredictable.
The truth is, but after all, she is just a simple-minded girl, and she can't help but feel sad when she hears these words.
Concubine Guo Hui's side face is gentle and beautiful, and her skin is as lustrous as pearls.
Even Li Weiyang must sigh at her graceful style and elegant temperament.
In fact, Concubine Hui is only forty years old this year, and she is well-maintained.
She looks no more than thirty years old, but what can she do with such beauty?
There is no one in the palace who treats her sincerely.
She can only rely on herself.
Step by step to gain a foothold, even though she now has a son and has her family to rely on, she can still easily be plotted by others.
It is said that if you are not careful, people's hearts are unpredictable.
Li Weiyang was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, please forgive Jia'er for talking too much.
It is definitely not something that ordinary people can do to set fire to the palace.
Even if you can ignore the external causes, you must clean up the internal troubles.
Otherwise, something like this will happen again.
"In her opinion, this fire must be caused by internal and external cooperation.
Concubine Guo Hui was stunned, then raised her head and looked at Li Weiyang, with a hint of surprise in her expression: "You mean, is there a traitor in this palace?"
Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said: "Empress, if there is no one to respond, how can the other party set fire to your palace so easily?
His Highness King Jing has clearly arranged manpower protection outside the palace, why no one has time to help when the incident occurs, naturally All the arrangements have been leaked. ” In fact, Guo Huifei has always been suspicious, but she really can't bear it, and her expression is inevitably a little disappointed: "Yes, I just can't believe that these people have been following me for many years, how could they even betray me?"
"?"
Princess Nankang blinked, with a puzzled look on her face: "Concubine, if there is really a traitor, who could it be?"
Li Weiyang's eyes were faint and her voice was a little casual.
She looked at the other party and said: "Princess Nankang, besides the empress, who else can control the maids and eunuchs in the palace?"
Princess Nankang's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously said, "Is it possible that Miss Liang is the only one who can enter and exit the palace, and can also control others?"
She just finished saying this, and then turned to look at Concubine Guo Hui uneasily.
There was a trace of confusion in his expression.
Princess Nankang doubted Ms.
Liang for the first time.
She thought about how Ms.
Liang came in a hurry after the accident, with a strange look on her face.
She was not concerned about whether the empress could wake up, but how many people in the palace survived.
If she had doubts like this, she might I'm afraid that someone will see something and kill someone intentionally to silence them.
However, Mrs.
Guo thought it was impossible and said: "Jia'er, if you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense.
Ms.
Liang was your aunt's maidservant at the time.
They have been in love for more than ten years.
If you say that someone else betrayed you, I will still refuse."
I can believe it, but it’s really hard for me to believe that even Lady Liang betrayed me.”
Li Weiyang's expression was very indifferent.

For Guo Huifei, Miss Liang had been with her for many years and could be said to be her confidant.
She believed in her very much and it was human nature not to doubt her.
Just like one day, if someone told her that Zhao Yue beside her had betrayed her, it would be difficult for her to trust her.
However, it was impossible for ordinary palace maids and eunuchs to come and go freely in Concubine Hui's palace, let alone have them casually.
Opportunity to manipulate.
So Li Weiyang just asked lightly: "Empress, who else escaped from that fire besides you?"
Concubine Guo Hui's heart skipped a beat, as if a cold wind had blown through her heart, revealing an uncontrollable coldness: "Yuan Ying rushed in to save me, and the other twenty or so maids and eunuchs were all buried in the sea of fire.
There was basically no one left alive except Miss Liang."
Her words Speaking of this, a layer of frost suddenly covered her face.
At this moment, she could no longer deny that Ms.
Liang was the most suspicious.
Otherwise, if everyone else was dead, why would she be the only one still alive?
How could there be so many coincidences and lucky things in the world?
Yuan Ying's hesitant expression seemed to tell Guo Huifei that there was something fishy about the matter.
Li Weiyang looked coldly and said: "Even if we don't hold the mastermind responsible for this matter, the hidden dangers around the queen must be cleared away.
I'm afraid that Miss Liang won't be able to stay."
Concubine Guo Hui raised her eyes and looked at Li Weiyang.
She couldn't say a word for a long time.
Finally, she finally nodded and said: "Come in, please come in, Ms.
Liang."
Ms.
Liang walked into the main hall again.
She saw that the other three people had very solemn expressions.
They were completely different from the expressions just now.
She felt cold, but her face was natural.
She just saluted respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I have already given the medicine to you."
I heated it up again, please take the medicine now."
Concubine Guo Hui looked at Ms.
Liang with a hint of indifference: "Where were you when the fire broke out yesterday?"
Ms.
Liang was stunned for a moment, and then she said with a panicked expression: "Why did the empress forget?
When the fire broke out in the palace, I went to the imperial dining room to change meals under the order of the empress.
When I came back, I saw that something had happened.
It was all my servant's fault.
It’s my fault that I couldn’t be with you during the most dangerous time.”
Guo Huifei smiled coldly and said: "Yes, that emerald shrimp dish made in the imperial kitchen.
You said that the weather has been getting colder recently and my body is suffering from yin deficiency and fire exuberance.
It is not suitable to eat shrimps and other fats, so I volunteered to go there."
The imperial kitchen changed this dish for me, but it was such a coincidence that you were not in the palace when the fire broke out."
Ms.
Liang was very frightened, and there were tears in her eyes.
She knelt down on the ground and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have served you for so many years.
I have worked hard without any merit.
If I have done something wrong, I can punish you directly." , why should you doubt your loyalty?
Anyone in this world can betray your mistress, but this slave will never do it."

Guo Huifei murmured, seeming to laugh at herself: "I have always been unwilling to doubt you.
Even if I doubt everyone, I still believe that you are on my side, not to mention that you have followed me into the palace for so many years. love, just because you betrayed me There is absolutely no benefit, but I never imagined that you would still be the most suspicious person when the matter came to pass."
After saying that, Concubine Guo nodded lightly, and the four maids behind her stepped forward and held Concubine Liang on the ground.
Concubine Liang did not dare.
He moved, but his face was very pale.
The atmosphere in the entire palace was tense, and everyone was silent.
Ms.
Liang suddenly burst into tears: "Your Majesty, this slave is unjust.
I was not in the palace at the time.
You can't just conclude that it was my slave."
Her voice became louder and louder.
It's so sad, it's just extremely sad.
The depth in Li Weiyang's eyes gradually receded, and there was a hint of sharpness: "My Lady, sometimes she won't confess without severe punishment."
Concubine Guo Hui's eyebrows were stern, and she was about to order the execution, when Prince Jing Yuanying hurried in from outside the palace, with a guard behind him.
Concubine Guo Hui's expression changed: "Ying'er, who is this person?"
King Jing's expression was very cold.
He glanced at Concubine Liang and smiled coldly: "Concubine, there is no need to go to the trouble of torture.
This is Concubine Liang's friend in the palace, and he is also the guard of Xuande Gate in the palace.
He has confessed to me.
Yes, he said that before the incident, Mrs.
Liang The official once quietly came to him and asked him to secretly bring kerosene into the palace. kerosene is a forbidden item in the palace.
Why would a young female official use kerosene?
Moreover, she did not report this matter to her mother and concubine.
Now, isn’t it obvious?”
Ms.
Liang's face turned pale the moment she saw the man.
Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the guard kneeling on the ground.
He was only in his thirties, probably younger than Ms.
Liang.
The bloodshot eyes at the corners of his mouth and the bruises on his cheeks showed that he had just been tortured.
In the eyes of everyone, there was not only fear but also despair.
Ms.
Liang was paralyzed on the ground at this moment, and her expression became numb.
Concubine Guo's face slowly turned cold, and she said coldly: "Ms.
Liang, I only want to ask you one question.
Answer me honestly, why did you betray me?"
Ms.
Liang just lowered her head and said nothing.
She only heard a bang and Concubine Guo slapped the coffee table beside the bed with a heavy palm: "This is the last chance I give you.
If you don't tell the truth again," she said slowly.
Look at the other person slowly and slowly utter one word: "kill" Ms.
Liang's face suddenly changed.
Her eyes were red and she stared at Concubine Guo Hui fiercely.
Li Weiyang's face was plain and cold, with an evil look on her brows, but she said to the guard: "She doesn't want to say it, so it's up to you.
If you can tell it, Based on all the facts, I can advise His Highness to treat you lightly."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The guard was startled, then his thoughts changed sharply, he raised his head suddenly, and said loudly: "I am willing to tell the truth, and I hope that your Majesty and Your Highness will spare my life.
This matter was all caused by the Imperial Concubine.
Ms.
Liang and I both listened to her words."
As soon as he said these words, there was an uproar around him.
Ms.
Liang knelt beside him and stared at him dumbfounded, her eyes slowly changing from disbelief to irritation, and then from irritation to fear in an instant.
Mrs.
Guo was stunned and found it unbelievable.
She turned to look at Concubine Guo Hui.
This was the first time she had encountered such a strange thing.
Li Weiyang curled her lips: "So the mastermind behind the scenes is Concubine Chen."
The guard glanced at Jing Wang Yuanying timidly, and then reported with seeming sadness: "Yes, at first it was entirely because I was not good.
I was a gambler and owed a lot of debt outside.
I had no choice but to ask Liang Qiu to pay it off for me.
It's just that her salary in the palace is limited after all.
She has given it all to me over the years, and she can't afford that much money at the moment.
She has no choice but to seek refuge with Concubine Chen. " Guo Huifei only felt that there was a hint of uneasiness in the other party's words.
She didn't dare to think about it deeply.
There were thousands of little drums beating in her heart.
Could this matter really be related to the Chen family?
But the other party didn't seem to be wrong.
Recently, Ms.
Liang's behavior is indeed somewhat abnormal.
Half a month ago, she lost a pair of red gold jewelry.
She didn't know how many such gold and silver jewelry she had, and she didn't cherish them on weekdays.
She only ordered them to be taken out when she remembered them accidentally.
At first, she thought they were stolen by some palace maid, so she ordered Liang Qiu secretly searched for her, not to alert the enemy.
Now that she thought about Liang Qiu's expression at that time, she was indeed guilty and uneasy.
However, she actually thought that she was blaming herself for not managing her maids well, but it turned out that she was short of money.
Jing Wang Yuanying said coldly: "Oh, where is the evidence?"
The guard quickly said: "There is kerosene behind the room where I work, and some cotton wool hidden in the water tank behind the house."
Everyone gasped and hissed.
Now that the witnesses and physical evidence were conclusive, Concubine Chen was definitely involved.
At this moment, Concubine Liang gritted her teeth and suddenly bowed to Concubine Guo: "Empress, this matter is "I'm sorry for you, slave.
Now, the only way to apologize is to die."
As soon as he said this, Wang Yuanying screamed that something was wrong and quickly shouted: "Don't allow her to commit suicide."
But it was too late.
Ms.
Liang bit the pill she had hidden in her mouth, and her expression became extremely painful for a moment.
She soon fell to the ground unconscious, and black blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Jing Wang Yuanying took the initiative to touch her neck.
After taking a pulse, he shook his head at Li Weiyang and died.
The guard trembled even more, as if he was very frightened, and then he said loudly: "Your Highness, you just said that you would spare my life.
In order to serve your crime, I can testify against Concubine Chen on behalf of Your Highness."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Jing Wang Yuanying's face looked calm as Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, but she didn't say a word.
Then, he made a gesture to the guards around him, and those people immediately took a rope, stepped forward with lightning speed, and neatly tied the hands of the guard on the ground behind his back, and tied them with the rope quickly.
Before the man could react, the hemp rope had already been tied around his neck.
The guard panicked and said: "Your Highness, what are you doing?
You said you would spare my life.
Can I bear witness for you?"
Do you want the murderer to go free?”
Just as Princess Nankang was about to speak, Mrs.
Guo took her hand and shook her head.
King Jing said coldly: "I'm afraid you are going to frame Concubine Chen for your master as a witness."
As soon as he finished speaking, he nodded to the person next to him.
The guard's face turned pale and he stared at her with a look of resentment.
Looking at Yuanying, The two men were obviously veterans of executions.
They each grabbed one end of the rope and pulled it hard to their side.
The guard's entire face turned red.
After struggling for a moment, his eyes turned white and his tongue lolled out. come out.
It took a while for the executioner to let go of his hand, and the man fell backward in front of everyone and became motionless.
Li Weiyang shook her head.
She knew that Yuanying was not wrong in doing so.
However, Princess Nankang suddenly collapsed to the ground.
She said in disbelief: "Brother, what are you doing?
Didn't he promise to take over for you?"
Shall we testify?
Why should we kill him?”
King Jing turned back and glanced at Princess Nankang indifferently, but his expression was very calm: "Children don't understand the things of adults.
Nankang, you should go back to your own palace as soon as possible."
Nankang was staring at Jing Wang Yuanying, she wanted to figure it out no matter what.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Weiyang say calmly: "Princess, His Highness Prince Jing did this just because he didn't want the situation to escalate."
Nankang turned back to look at Li Weiyang, and couldn't believe that she was so cruel: "The imperial concubine has been against my mother and concubine these days.
It's not surprising that she would do this.
It's just to avenge her niece.
She suddenly wanted the mother-in-law's palace This method is too cruel to kill so many people.
It is in vain that our Guo and Chen families have been closely related for so many years and have shared weal and woe.
Once they fall out, she will be so cruel.
As long as she reports this matter to my father, he will definitely do it.
Concubine Chen will be punished severely."
Jing Wang Yuanying looked at her sister, and she felt a little resentful that iron could not make steel.
The people present now actually understood why he did this.
Only Nankang was very ignorant from beginning to end.
She was not stupid, but You are too gullible, this problem must be reversed She should have grown up and can no longer rely on her mother-in-law to protect her from the wind and rain.
Yuanying looked at Princess Nankang and said: "If I follow what this guard said or keep his life, this matter will definitely spread, and then At that time, everyone would think that Concubine Chen was setting fire to the concubine."
Nankang felt a little strange when he heard Yuanying's words.
A trace of speculation flashed through his mind, and he lost his voice and said: "You mean that someone deliberately framed this matter."
There was a halo in Li Weiyang's quiet eyes: "The imperial concubine may hate the Guo family, but she will not burn the palace so blatantly.
Even if she does, she will not leave any clues to us.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In my hands, the guard appeared too strangely, and Ms.
Liang was so betrayed.
I don’t know why.
Now that Ms.
Liang is dead, the only testimony is on the body of the guard.
It shows that the person behind the scenes deliberately left clues to make us suspect Chen Guifei.
If I had still doubted Chen Guifei before, I have three doubts, but now I already think she is innocent.”
Princess Nankang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She turned her head and looked at Concubine Guo Huifei.
Concubine Guo smiled and nodded to her: "Jia'er is right, I think so too.
If Concubine Chen really wants me, There are many other ways to save lives, and there is no need to go to such great lengths to burn more than twenty palace maids and eunuchs to death.
This matter is definitely not a trivial matter
.
"
King Jing nodded, and then ordered the guards to drag out the two dead people.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside reporting: "Your Majesty has arrived."
The expressions of everyone in the palace changed, especially Concubine Guo Hui.
She quickly straightened her clothes and was about to get up, but she heard the emperor walking in and loudly saying: "My dear, there is no need to be polite, I just came to visit you."
The emperor's face was full of energy and grace.
Li Weiyang looked at him coldly, with a hint of disgust in his expression.
Of course, the emperor was sitting at the head of the table, while Concubine Guo Hui and others could only stand.
The emperor's eyes fell.
On Jing Wang Yuanying: "How is your investigation going?"
King Jing lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Return to my father, I have found out this matter clearly.
It was because Lady Liang in the palace made a small mistake and was scolded by the empress.
She had a grudge, so she burned down the palace in an attempt to murder her mother.
Concubine.
Now this female official Liang has committed suicide.
Such a crime should have been punished by the whole family.
However, female official Liang has never been married, but she is alone.
The son-in-law suggested that the matter should be settled here and not be expanded. " When Yuan Ying was talking, Li Weiyang kept staring at the emperor's expression, unwilling to let go of the slightest change.
The emperor put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Oh, my beloved concubine also thinks that this matter is just because a female officer was disobedient and deliberately retaliated.
So Simple" Concubine Guo Hui's heart was tense, but she said calmly: "At first, I was also very suspicious.
Miss Liang was my confidant, why would she do such a thing?
But after thinking about it carefully, she just didn't want to bring her into the palace."
Unwillingly, I must have been there for so many years She has always held a grudge in her heart, and could not bear even the slightest scolding, yet she would do such a terrible thing.
Your Majesty, if this concubine dies, she can be let out of the palace in an open and honest manner, and she can stay with her sweetheart.
I'm afraid this is the real reason why she set the fire."
The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Oh, that's it.
Prince Jing was able to find out the whole story so quickly.
I am very pleased with you.
You are really capable, and you are worthy of being my son."
He laughed louder and louder, his chest heaving up and down with laughter, and he almost breathed out.
Li Weiyang has been watching with cold eyes, feeling that the emperor's joy at this moment is inexplicable.
At this moment, the emperor's eyes suddenly fell on Li Weiyang.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He put away his smile and returned to his serious expression: "Did Mrs.
Guo also bring the young lady into the palace?"
Mrs.
Guo and Li Weiyang quickly bowed to the emperor again: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Weiyang has clearly reported it to you, but he is still pretending to be stupid at this time.
He clearly deliberately came to the palace while they were talking, but he doesn't know what his plan is.
No one can guess the emperor's thoughts.
Accurate.
The emperor glanced deeply at Li Weiyang, just smiled faintly, and then turned to Concubine Guo Hui and said: "It seems that the order of the former dynasty and the harem needs to be rectified.
Last time, there was an assassination in the Prince's Mansion.
This time There is actually an incident of a female official setting fire to revenge.
In my opinion, every palace must be strengthened."
The emperor looked straight at Concubine Guo Hui with twinkling eyes, clearly having a deeper meaning, which made her feel a little panicked.
But Guo Huifei immediately calmed down and continued: "Yes, thank you for your kindness."
The emperor smiled lightly and said: "I have decided to select capable soldiers from the Forbidden Army and form a guard of thirty people to protect my beloved concubine day and night."
He said it in one breath, and Concubine Guo Hui looked stunned.
Li Weiyang felt something bad in his heart.
Is this protection or surveillance?
Immediately Yuanying objected: "Father, ordinary palace guards are just that, but the imperial army has always guarded the capital after all.
They don't understand the rules of the palace.
In the inner palace, There are many inconveniences.
My father’s kindness is appreciated, but this matter may not be appropriate.”
The emperor looked at Prince Jing Yuanying and said with a half-smile: "Your concerns are not unreasonable.
Since you feel that the imperial army is not good, then Prince Jing will select suitable candidates from among the eunuchs who know martial arts, recruit them as soon as possible, and protect your love."
The concubine’s safety is the most important thing.
I believe that with smart and capable guards, my beloved concubine can rest easy.”
Concubine Guo Hui always had a calm smile on her lips.
She stood up gracefully and knelt on the bed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor's smile deepened, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something.
He looked at Nankang and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days.
Nankang has grown into a big girl."
Princess Nankang thought that the emperor had finally noticed her, and there was some joy in her expression.
In the palace, the emperor had never been interested in their children.
Except for Princess Shouchun, who was favored, the emperor almost never looked at the other daughters.
But at this moment, his eyes fell on Nankang. , his expression seemed to be very loving.
Guo Huifei and Jing Wang Yuanying felt a little uneasy in their hearts at the same time.
Li Weiyang has dealt with the emperor before.
She knows that the other person has ulterior motives and often makes surprising moves.
She didn't know why, but this time she had a bad feeling.
The emperor looked at Nankang carefully and said with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, the longer it gets, the more beautiful it becomes."
Nankang bowed and said, "Thank you, Father, for the compliment."
The emperor nodded and said to Concubine Guo: "My concubine is still a good teacher."
Concubine Guo Hui also noticed something was wrong, but no one dared to speak lightly in front of the emperor.
Prince Jing was trying to think of a way to divert the emperor's attention, but suddenly heard the emperor loudly say: "Last time Shouchun got married.
When I was young, I remembered that Wang Yan, the son of the Wang family, was a very outstanding talent.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Now it seems that he is a good match for Nankang. " King Jing suddenly frowned when he heard the emperor raised this topic, then relaxed it and said quickly: "Father, Nankang is still young."
The emperor said coldly: "You are already sixteen years old, how can you say you are still young?
I had a lot of things to do in the past few days and was not able to make good plans for Nankang.
Now I see that Nankang has grown into a big girl.
She is both talented and beautiful, so I decided to betroth her to Wang Yan.
Let them get married on a good day
.
"
He had made up his mind and did not allow others to refute him.
He immediately stood up straight and walked out.
No matter how reluctant Nan Kang was, she could only accept the order and thank him.
When he walked to the door, the emperor suddenly turned his head, looked at Li Weiyang and smiled slightly: "Kiss and kiss, this is a happy event."
After he said this inexplicable sentence, he strode out with hearty laughter.
But when the emperor left, everyone else in the palace looked very shocked, especially Concubine Guo Hui.
She looked at Princess Nankang and couldn't help but frowned and said: "He has never cared about you before, and he suddenly came here today.
Come on, I think there’s something wrong.”
Li Weiyang pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes were extremely gloomy: "His Majesty has just proposed to strengthen security for the empress.
His Majesty has already refuted it once, so Princess Nankang's marriage must not be refuted a second time.
Your Majesty is really not an ordinary plan. , played very well.”
Mrs.
Guo looked at the confused and uneasy Princess Nankang and shook her head.
She comforted her and said, "Fortunately, Mr.
Wang Yan is also considered to be both civil and military and talented.
He has not wronged the princess."
Princess Nankang thought of Wang Yan she saw on the balcony that day, and couldn't help but blush on her face.
In the last competition held for Princess Shouchun, Wang Yan was indeed handsome, young and handsome.
A man with both civil and military skills made the young girl blush and her heart beat.
Princess Nankang had not paid special attention to it before, but now she heard that the emperor had promised her to Wang Yan, and carefully recalled Wang Yan's appearance and demeanor, her His face couldn't help but turn red.
Yuan Ying shook his head.
Although Wang Yan was a man of both civil and military talents, in his opinion, Wang Yan was slightly inferior to other young masters of the Wang family.
He could not become a big shot just because of his impulsiveness and narrow-mindedness. .
He originally wanted to plan for Nankang's marriage.
The best plan was to marry into the Guo family or the Zhou family.
You must know that the Zhou family has a hundred thousand forbidden troops, and they are also very worthy of winning over.
At least a nail can be placed in the Zhou family to monitor the actions of King Jin and the Zhou family.
But after marrying the Wang family, Yuanying thought about it carefully and felt that marrying the Wang family might not be a bad thing, but hearing it from the emperor's mouth always made people feel uncomfortable.
Maybe he didn't trust the emperor enough and always felt that the other party No good intentions.
Not only King Jing thinks so, but Li Weiyang obviously thinks so too.
She has met the princes of the Wang family at banquets.
If the emperor marries Princess Nankang to the gentle Wang Guang or the smart and introverted Wang Ji, then It can still be regarded as a good choice.
But it happened to be Wang Yan.
That person was too proud and quite hostile to the Guo family.
If Princess Nankang married her, it might not be a good thing.
Furthermore, Li Weiyang vaguely felt that the emperor's move was aimed at herself.
However, although she felt uneasy for a moment, she could not think of any reason.

It seemed that the two things were not necessarily connected.
After all, since the emperor is afraid of Yuan Lie, he will not attack himself easily.
Mrs.
Guo saw that they all looked solemn and couldn't help but said: "Okay, okay, now that His Majesty's decree has been issued, it is irreversible.
I believe that the Wang family will treat Nankang well."
Li Weiyang nodded.
Mrs.
Guo actually knew General Wang, but was not familiar with Wang Yan, so she felt that Wang Yan was a good match for Princess Nankang.
This was not a big mistake, but before After the incident involving Wang Zijin, I am afraid that the relationship between Princess Nankang and Concubine Guo Hui will be in the eyes of everyone again, and their status will become more embarrassing.
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Princess Nankang is so lovable, no matter what kind of family she marries into, she will live happily."
Nan Kang couldn't help but smile on his face, but he said shyly: "Sister, don't make fun of me anymore."
After saying that, she covered her face and ran out of the hall.
Li Weiyang and Mrs.
Guo looked at each other, but they both They saw the sighs and pity in each other's eyes.
Coming out of Concubine Hui's palace, Prince Jing Yuanying said: "Jia'er, I want to thank you very much for your support of Concubine Mu today."
Li Weiyang smiled lightly and said: "Actually, I didn't do anything today.
His Highness King Jing was the one who caught the murderer."
King Jing looked at the Queen's palace with burning eyes and said in a cold voice: "Today I dealt with the guard and Lady Liang.
The most important purpose is to prevent them from grabbing and biting at will, and I don't want to hurt innocent people."
Li Weiyang nodded and said: "I believe this matter has nothing to do with the Chen family.
Everything is just someone deliberately instigating it.
If we continue to investigate further, we will only find some other messy people.
In fact, it doesn't matter.
We know it is It’s enough to remember whoever made the move and look for the right opportunity to fight back.”
When she said the words "fight back", Jing Wang Yuanying looked at her deeply and said: "This matter cannot be rushed.
Take your time.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law was not injured."
Mrs.
Guo had already walked out of the palace.
Li Weiyang was about to say goodbye to King Jing when he heard King Jing say: "What do you think about His Majesty's marriage?"
Both of them knew very well that the emperor was clearly looking for an opportunity to deliberately embarrass the Guo family and Concubine Guo Hui, otherwise he would not have become the moon elder for no reason.
Seeing Li Weiyang's expression, King Jing guessed what she was thinking.
He said calmly: "Yes, I also think my father's behavior today is very strange.
He never cares about Nankang.
Then Wang Yan is a I know very well what kind of person he is.
It’s nothing else.
He’s just too proud and arrogant.
I’m afraid it won’t go well for Nankang to marry him.”
It's not just as simple as being unhappy.
Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said: "Nankang is a princess after all.
No matter how proud Wang Yan is, he should know that the emperor's daughter cannot be bullied.
He will not go too far, and His Highness Prince Jing does not need to worry too much."
Yuan Ying nodded and sighed: "I hope so."
Mrs.
Guo and Li Weiyang got on the carriage.

King Jing watched their carriage drive away.
He turned around and told the people around him: "From today on, you must guard your mother and concubine for twelve hours at all times.
Don't let anyone hurt you." she."
The eunuch whispered: "Yes, Your Highness."
King Jing looked at the setting sun not far away, his heart inexplicably cast a shadow.
On the carriage, Mrs.
Guo's expression was solemn, and she had long lost the calmness that she had just comforted Princess Nankang.
She whispered: "Jia'er, I think your Majesty's intention in this matter is..."
Li Weiyang looked at Mrs.
Guo and said, "It's to target the Guo family."
Mrs.
Guo nodded, "Yes, His Majesty's move must be to target the Guo family.
You must know that Nankang is the adopted daughter of Concubine Guo Hui.
Speaking of which, she is inextricably related to the Guo family.
That day His Highness King Xu was in the main hall.
The superior refused to marry in public and gave It has embarrassed the Wang family.
No matter how generous they are, they will always be worried about this matter.
I look at the expressions of the Wang family and others.
Wang Yan is especially angry, but she just promised him.
I am afraid of Princess Nankang.
I’m afraid I’ll get married” Li Weiyang didn't want her to worry too much, so she comforted her: "Don't worry too much, mother.
Your Majesty's move is just to check and balance the Guo family.
There should be no other meaning."
Is there really no other meaning?
Li Weiyang didn't think so in his heart.
In addition to warning the Guo family and warning Li Weiyang, the emperor must have a deeper meaning.
Perhaps the emperor has not given up the idea of letting Wang Zijin become Princess Xu.
There is no way to take action there.
The emperor will eventually find his head, so what method does he need to make him give up voluntarily?
Li Weiyang really wants to know what other methods the emperor has not yet used.
Mrs.
Guo said worriedly: "No matter what, I can't bear to see such an innocent and romantic child like Princess Nankang being punished by others."
Li Weiyang's expression was very dull: "Mother, there is something I actually wanted to say a long time ago, but Concubine Hui loves Princess Nankang too much, so I didn't say it clearly.
What do you think Nankang did today?
Why do you look like a princess?
A person can be simple and kind, but he must not be ignorant or stupid.
After living with Concubine Hui for so long, she has always relied on the protection of Concubine Hui and Prince Jing.
If she continues to do this, it may not do her any good to marry into the Wang family this time.
Understand how to be a qualified princess and learn to protect your loved ones instead of always standing behind others.”
Mrs.
Guo sighed: "You are right.
If you think about it, life is suffering.
If you want to find a person without suffering among hundreds of people, you will never find it.
A little happiness will be there."
Countless hardships follow.

Everyone has his own destiny, and the same is true for Nankang.
There is no way we can stop it. " Li Weiyang looked at Mrs.
Guo but disagreed: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be reversed.
The key is to control your destiny in your own hands."
Mrs.
Guo looked at Li Weiyang and shook her head gently: "Don't take it lightly, child, it's not easy to be a human being."
Li Weiyang gently snuggled into Mrs.
Guo's arms.
She whispered: "Mother, Jia'er understands what you mean.
I will be more careful from now on."
Mrs.
Guo stroked her silky hair and said thoughtfully: "Jia'er, the person my mother is most worried about is you.
You are cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
You are also an extremely stubborn child.
You are too persistent in everything and refuse to do anything.
Let it go Qingyi, mother doesn’t want you to suffer any hardships, and she doesn’t want you to live an unhappy life.
If possible, mother would like to send you away from Dadu for the time being to recuperate outside.”
Li Weiyang was stunned, and then immediately said: "No, mother, I will never leave at this time."
Mrs.
Guo must have seen that not only Queen Pei, but also the emperor now has opinions on the Guo family, and even She had the intention of taking action, and she asked Li Weiyang to leave Dadu obviously to protect her.
Mrs.
Guo has a total of five sons, but she only has one daughter.
The one who feels most distressed is always Guo Jia.
Li Weiyang's eyes couldn't help but feel a little moist.
She said softly: "Mom, don't worry, Jia'er will not leave Dadu.
But, I On the contrary, I will not let go of anyone who hurts me or the Guo family."
Mrs.
Guo knew Li Weiyang's persistence.
When she heard what she said, she couldn't help hugging her tightly and sighed: "No matter what Jia'er decides, mother will be on your side."
Li Weiyang felt the fragrance coming from Mrs.
Guo's arms.
Such a fragrance could only be found on her mother's body.
She seemed to have found the maternal love she had been missing since childhood in Mrs.
Guo.
With a mother who cared about her and protected her, what did she have to worry about?
In the past, she had always thought that the most carefree people in the world were the most caring people.
Strong, because there are no worries, so you can fight and break through, She could be desperate, but now she has changed her view.
It is precisely because of Mrs.
Guo, the other people in the Guo family, care and concern that she has more confidence and more It requires more efforts to eliminate those with evil intentions one by one.
If you want to become stronger and protect your loved ones, love is also a kind of power, even more powerful than hate.
Li Weiyang knew that Empress Pei had already taken action.
There was going to be a tough battle, and the outcome was still unknown.
