On the battlefield thousands of miles away, Tuobayu once again gathered his army to capture the city gate.
He ordered the army to divide into three groups, one group to attack the main gate, and the other two groups to attack from the side gate.
He knew clearly that there were not enough defenders in the city, so this move was just to divide them and make it difficult for them to look after them.
Most importantly, Conland sent a secret weapon, which came in handy during the siege.
Wang Gong stood on the tower, frowning as he watched the army from below the city press in from a high position.
There are now a total of 400,000 defenders in his city, which is a drop in the bucket compared to Tuobayu's army of one million.
If we fight hard, we may not be able to defend this city at all.
He glanced at Yuan Lie next to him, bowed slightly and said, "His Royal Highness, Prince Xu, as a last resort, I can only arrange for you to leave first."
Yuan Lie raised his brows, looked at the other party with a half-smile and said, "General Wang, in your eyes, am I the first person to run away when in danger?"
Wang Gong just smiled faintly: "His Royal Highness Prince Xu is of high status.
Your Majesty has a secret decree for this trip to ensure that His Highness returns safely no matter what.
Therefore, I must protect His Highness's safety even if I die.
Please don't embarrass me."
Yuan Lie sneered: "Don't care what he says, I will not leave this place.
If I wanted to leave, I would have left long ago.
Why wait until Tuoba Yu's army comes to the border?"
Wang Qiong, who was next to him, frowned and said in confusion: "Last time, Tuobayu's food and grass supply was obviously severely damaged, and there should be some days when he can't regain his strength, but why did he gather millions of people so quickly?
The men and horses are coming to attack the city."
Yuan Lie smiled slightly and said: "This is because someone is secretly passing on the news and giving him financial and material support in various aspects, so he can make a comeback in such a short period of time."
Wang Gong glanced at Yuan Lie and said doubtfully: "His Royal Highness Prince Xu means that Dazhou is secretly supporting him."
Yuan Lie shook his head: "Dazhou is thousands of miles away from here.
Even if they want to support Tuoba Yu, it is just support.
How can they give such great support?
So the only people who can support Tuoba Yu are us. domestic" Hearing such words, Wang Gong was surprised.
He said in a low voice: "Then according to what His Highness said, what should we do now?"
Yuan Lie suppressed his original smile and said seriously: "If the general is willing to believe me, please give me the opportunity to command the overall situation."
Wang Gong was surprised.
In his opinion, this battle was really about few versus many, with a huge disparity in strength.
Normally, he could have fought hard, but with so many people in the city, there was no room for any mistakes.
If he was here If the old horse stumbles, it will only become the laughing stock of the whole world.
With Xu Wang Yuanlie there, it will be different.
If Yuan Lie takes the initiative to assume the command of this war, no matter what mistakes are made, His Royal Highness King Xu will bear the brunt.
He is the person whom His Majesty values the most.
Even if he makes mistakes, he will not be severely punished, and he But it's different.
But the real coach himself feels like he is shirking his responsibility by stepping aside now.
After thinking about it, his expression changed.
Yuan Lie had already seen through this man's thoughts, sneered, and immediately said: "General Wang, please personally guard the south gate.
Zhao Nan, you lead five hundred experts to assist.
General, you lead people to guard the north gate.
As for the middle Leave the door to me.
You two, there are tens of thousands of people behind me.
No one can be allowed into the city until we fight to the last soldier."
Wang Gong could no longer object.
He knew that Tuoba Yu had to capture the city today, and Yuan Lie had also secretly mobilized his secret masters.
The military strategists and generals next to them saw that the coach Wang Gong was obeying the young prince's words and his tone was respectful, but their hearts were full of uneasiness and doubts.

In their opinion, although Xu Wang Yuanlie is quite resourceful, he is too young.
Can he bear this heavy responsibility?
"My lord, this time Tuobayu specially ordered someone to build an armored chariot weighing a thousand kilograms, which is invincible.
Please don't take it lightly," Wang Qiong reminded.
Yuan Lie smiled: "I understand, let's go to the tower."
Amidst the smoke, the artillery on the towers burst out together.
One shot hit Tuoba Yu's armored chariot, and the gunners immediately cheered.
But after the smoke dissipated, the armored chariot slowly advanced again, and the artillery attack only blew off a piece of the armor on it.
Yuan Lie narrowed his eyes.
This time, the armored chariot used by Tuoba Yu looked like a giant ship.
The iron plates on it were much thicker and stronger than he imagined, so that even artillery could not destroy it.
Break.
All the cannons fired rumbles, but the armored chariot continued to move forward after being hit.
The artillery attacks only slowed down its speed for an instant.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the city fell silent.
Where did the other party get this kind of ghost thing?
At this speed, they can climb the tower in less than an hour.
Yuan Lie pondered for a while and commanded the gunner: "Concentrate all the big cannons and aim them at only one of the armored tanks."
After everyone aimed the muzzles at one of the giants, they gave the order: "Fire."
Boom, boom, boom, boom four times in succession, the four iron cannons hit the target, and finally the armored chariot fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Because of their extremely precise targeting, although the four fire bombs were unable to completely penetrate the armor, they were able to knock it over in one fell swoop due to their combined force.
The armored chariot designed and manufactured by Tuoba Yu was very huge and a real siege weapon, but once it fell over, it was impossible to put it back up again.
And when it fell, it crushed countless soldiers to death in an instant.
When the generals and soldiers at the city gate saw this situation, they couldn't help but burst into cheers.
Unfortunately, the next few times were unsuccessful.
Although the more than ten giant armored chariots moved slowly, they still gradually approached the city tower.
The cannons were at the extreme It is really difficult to threaten it at a close distance.
Yuan Lie made a prompt decision and asked the gunner to stop attacking, and only used all his strength to target the Dali soldiers hiding behind the giant object.
With a roar, the armored chariot hit the city gate with great force like a huge mountain.
There was a turmoil in the city tower, as if the sky was falling apart, and everyone on the city tower was swaying and struggling to stand.
Fortunately, Wang Gong was experienced and had already ordered people to continuously reinforce the city wall with lead-water boulders, so he could barely withstand the continuous impacts of these behemoths.
But before the soldiers could get up from the ground, the iron chain was placed on the armored chariot.
The iron rope at the end of the iron chain hooked the city wall.
Suddenly, countless tough soldiers rushed through the iron chain, waving their The swords kept rushing towards the city gate tower.
Although the situation was very critical, Yuan Lie's expression remained cold and calm, as if he was as hard and unshakable as a rock.
Seeing that the general was calm and composed and had no intention of escaping, all the soldiers gradually calmed down from the initial panic.
They cooperated with each other and organized an orderly defense.
The guards brought by Yuan Lie were all highly skilled in martial arts and well-trained, and could equal one to a hundred.
Everyone risked their lives to resist the enemy's attack without flinching, and the battle became increasingly fierce.
The attacking and defending sides fought hand to hand, fighting each other.
Many people screamed and fell down, while more people climbed up along the iron chain.
Both sides were very tenacious.
In less than two hours, tens of thousands of soldiers were lying across the river.
Corpse field.
Yuan Lie knew that the best time had come.

He looked deeply and ordered in a cold voice: "Let them pour down what they have prepared."
Upon hearing Yuan Lie's order, countless soldiers poured buckets of boiling oil that had been prepared along the iron chains.
The iron chain touched the strong oil and became hot instantly.
The skin and flesh of the soldier who tried to climb through the iron chain were immediately attached to the iron chain.
Only screams were heard one after another, and the entire tower suddenly floated.
There was the smell of burnt meat.
Countless Dali soldiers screamed and fell from the iron chain.
The hot and boiling oil was mixed with unknown substances, and it actually had a corrosive effect, corroding the strong iron chain bit by bit, and finally Broken at every turn.
Dali's soldiers looked at this scene in disbelief.
The emperor's carefully designed and built armored chariot was so vulnerable.
The Dali people had always used this as a secret weapon to attack the city, but they did not expect that Yuexi had already prepared and used such a simple method to defeat their attack.
What exactly was added to the strong oil, and how could it cause the iron chain to corrode?
At this moment, Tuoba Yu rode a group of BMWs and personally led the Royal Forest Army to the battlefield to help out.
Today's battle situation is very dangerous.
The Dali army is so powerful that it will attack the city at all costs.
Although Yuan Lie's actions greatly frustrated the morale of the opposing soldiers, Tuoba Yu suddenly appeared on the battlefield under such circumstances.
The courage and fighting spirit that the Dali soldiers had lost suddenly became surging.
Yuan Lie glanced at Tuoba Yu who was surrounded by soldiers from the city, narrowed his eyes, held his breath and said to the people around him: "Give me a bow and arrow."
The soldier next to him immediately handed over a long bow.
Yuan Lie pulled the bow, and shot three sharp arrows side by side at Tuoba Yu's figure.
He only heard the arrows roaring like thunder, and they were aimed directly at the opponent's upper body.
On the middle and lower roads, Tuo Bayu only heard the sound of piercing the sky, and the sharp arrow was already approaching him, with an unstoppable force like a broken bamboo.
However, he did not panic.
He picked up the sword and chopped off three arrow feathers one after another, and looked towards the tower with cold eyes.
Yuan Lie on the city tower smiled warmly, and his handsome face looked very peaceful among thousands of troops.
Yuan Lie smiled slightly, threw the bow away and said, "This one is too light, let's get another one."
The soldiers were surprised, but at this time Zhao Nan had already ordered Yuan Lie to send his cloud-penetrating arrow.
Yuan Lie pulled away the cloud-piercing arrow and laughed loudly: "This is so convenient."
He raised his eyebrows, and a cloud-piercing arrow came with a fierce force, carrying a huge force, and shot directly towards Tuoba Yu.
Tuoba Yu was well prepared and used a shield to block it.
However, Tuoba Yu never expected that the opponent was so powerful.
The sharp arrow actually penetrated the shield.
He was shot out from his horse and was almost hit by a blow.
The arrow pierced the chest and nailed it deeply to the ground.
The generals at the city gate were excited, and the cheers became louder and louder.
The Dali general next to him immediately helped Tuobayu up.
Seeing that he was seriously injured and his eyes were closed tightly, he quickly tapped several large areas of blood on his chest to stop the bleeding, and called the military doctor to carry him down for treatment.
Yuan Lie was wearing a battle helmet, his handsome face was dignified and solemn, and his strong and muscular body showed a kind of power and domineering.
The black cloak behind him danced in the wind, making him even more majestic and heroic.
The arrow he shot just now, piercing the clouds and the moon, was a shock to everyone, not to mention that he also shot Tuoba Yu, the emperor of Dali, seriously injured on the spot.
The military doctor had just helped Tuobayu off the battlefield, but he suddenly woke up, pushed him away, and shouted sternly: "Who asked you to help me down?"
The military doctor quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you are seriously injured.
You must go down to recuperate."
Tuoba Yu said in a cold voice: "How can a monarch go to the battlefield with a personal expedition?"
He turned back and glanced at the people on the tower, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and suppressed the boiling blood.

He worked hard After planning for so long, and seeing that the victory of the siege was in sight, as long as he broke through this line of defense, he might go straight to Huanglong.
Make the Yuexi emperor pay a heavy price, and then he can make his demands to Yuexi.
From beginning to end, apart from ambition, all he wanted was Li Weiyang That woman has deceived him for so long.
He just wants to get her back and ask her: Do you still remember me?
He should be full of hatred for Li Weiyang.
Yes, he hates her to the core.
It was unforgettable every night, and I wanted to prove to her that without Li Weiyang's support, he would Yu can still stand above everyone and become the lord of all the people in the world.
He wants the other party to admit that when he gave up on him, it was because Li Weiyang had no discernment and it was her loss.
He originally thought that Yuan Lie was easy to deal with.
After all, he had what Empress Pei gave him.
Intelligence, and countless advantages, but he never expected to lose to Yuan Lie in two consecutive battles.
This time he was actually seriously injured, but Yuan Lie was the one chosen by Li Weiyang.
Only he understood the complicated feeling.
The battlefield was changing rapidly, leaving him little time to think.
He was waiting to regroup and attack the city again, when someone suddenly reported from behind: "Your Majesty, our camp has been raided."
Tuobayu suddenly turned around and said sternly: "What did you say?"
It turned out that when Tuoba Yu focused all his attention on the siege, the military camp in the rear was empty.
Yuexi actually sent a cavalry force to rush out from behind silently, piercing the enemy's formation as quickly as scissors, and smashing into the camp like a sword. .
These people were not eager to fight, nor did they fight against the soldiers who stayed behind.
Instead, they used their horses to set fires everywhere.
The red flames cut through the gloom of dusk.
The place on fire was where Tuoba Yu finally stored military rations.
Tuo Bayu finally realized that he had been fooled.
No wonder Yuan Lie was not in a hurry to break his armored chariot, but had to wait until he came to the battlefield in person before doing so.
It turned out that he was just trying to hide the truth and divert the tiger away from the mountain.
Yuan Lie first successfully attracted all his attention, and then ordered the soldiers who had been ambushing him to sneak attack his camp.
Tuo Bayu always believed that he was excellent in both literary and military skills.
Although he has not been on the battlefield in person over the years, he is by no means a person who is easy to fool.
However, today's situation shocked him.
He made a decision immediately: "Return to the main camp to support the main camp immediately and retreat the entire army."
The shouts of killing in front of the formation slowly died away, and the huge armored chariots also retreated.
Yuan Lie watched the Dali army leave, with a sneer slowly appearing on his face.
Counting on the news that Pei Huaizhen will give you is often like drinking poison to quench your thirst.
Tuobayu, you should also be taught a lesson.
This world is not for you to walk sideways if you want.
Tuoba Yu suffered heavy losses in this battle.
Not only did he not get any benefits, but he also lost the only food and grass left in the military camp.
He covered his chest and glanced at the man standing on the city gate tower, as if he wanted to imprint this man who had caused him humiliation into his heart and curse him for eternity.
Yuan Lie still stood proudly on the city tower, and the entire city became his scenery, making him look like a god in the sky.
The soldiers looked at each other, and suddenly someone shouted: "We won."
Everyone present realized that they had defeated the powerful enemy with their small force and had won.
Thunderous cheers suddenly broke out on the tower.
Voice.
The generals walked towards Yuan Lie one by one, each of their faces flushed red, and their eyes were burning with intense, passionate and admiring gazes.
At this time, Tuoba Yu rushed back to the military camp.

He was seriously injured, hurting his lungs and heart, and his condition was very critical.
Pingting stayed by his bedside, watching Tuobayu fall into a deep sleep.
His face looked very pale due to the massive blood loss, showing unspeakable vicissitudes of life and exhaustion.
Pingting felt heartbroken when she saw it.
The military doctor had already pulled out the arrow and applied a thick layer of ointment to stop the bleeding on his wound.
Pingting gently pushed the ointment away, and when she saw the hideous wound exposed, she couldn't help but shed tears one by one.
Tuobayu was so seriously injured, but she still couldn't forget that person, and even called that name in her dreams.
Pingting couldn't help but want to ask herself why she was not as good as Li Weiyang and why Tuobayu still couldn't forget that person to this day.
Pingting walked out of the military tent and ordered to the people outside: "Your Majesty has ordered us to immediately withdraw our troops and return to the city."
Just after saying this, the generals outside looked at each other in confusion.
Pingting said loudly: "I am the queen, don't you even listen to my orders?"
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind her: "You, the queen, have no right to give orders."
Hearing this sentence, Pingting turned around suddenly and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, your health is not good yet, why?"
Before she finished speaking, she heard Tuoba Yu sternly said: "Tie up this bitch for me."
Pingting couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Tuoba Yu's voice became more and more condensed: "You have the nerve to ask me what I am doing.
A few days ago, you sent a secret letter to Dadu.
Who was it sent to?"
Pingting's face suddenly turned white.
Tuobayu continued: "In addition to the secret letter, you also sent a message to King Xu, telling him that I have prepared armored chariots and will attack the city soon.
You tell me that you are mine.
The queen is the mother of Dali, why did you betray me and the country?"
Pingting couldn't help but shed tears.
She said sternly: "Your Majesty, I think about you.
I just don't want this war to continue."
In fact, Pingting's idea was very simple.
She believed that Tuobayu would stop attacking after being frustrated and return to the country with her.
However, she never expected that her every move would be captured when Yuan Lie broke through the armored chariot formation.
Tuoba Yu understood.
Pingting is not worried about her own safety, she is still most worried about Tuoba Yu.
She knelt down in front of the other party, grabbed his robe and said: "Your Majesty, as a concubine, please go back with me.
Even if you win this war, Li Weiyang will not come back to you.
Why do you want to It makes all the people uneasy because of her alone."
Before she could finish her words, she was slapped hard on the face.
Tuobayu said sternly: "Didn't you hear what I said?
Take this bitch away and keep her under strict supervision.
She will no longer be allowed to contact the outside world."
After saying this, Tuobayu shook off Pingting and turned back to the military tent. .
Pingting fell to the ground and was eventually taken away by the guards.
Thousands of miles away in Dadu, Li Weiyang read the letter and laughed softly.
Zhao Yuedao: "Miss, is there anything you are happy about?"
Li Weiyang said: "Yuan Lie defeated Tuo Ba Yu's army.
I think this war will be over soon."
Zhao Yue also showed joy on her face: "That's great, Miss" Li Weiyang nodded and said: "That's what Yuan Lie said in the letter.
It's just that I didn't expect Pingting to play such a big role in the war, let alone that she would actually help us."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
She thought about it but He shook his head and said: "No, she is not helping us.
She just hopes that the war will end soon.
She also hopes that Tuo Bayu will not be deceived by Empress Pei and become the opponent's pawn."
Zhao Yue nodded and said with a serious look in her eyes: "Miss, now that Ying Chu has returned to Empress Pei, it will not be easy for us to touch him again."
Li Weiyang thought for a while and then asked softly: "I heard that His Highness King Qin is even more seriously ill."
Zhao Yue hesitated and said: "That's what the news said.
The imperial doctors changed one after another, and even His Royal Highness went to greet him in person, but there was still no improvement."
Li Weiyang smiled: "Prince Qin has always been in good health, but now he is seriously ill in bed.
The real purpose is just to avoid this disaster.
Haven't you seen that Prince Jin is also staying behind closed doors to guard his princess?"
Zhao Yue shook her head: "I don't quite understand the thoughts of these two princes.
Why does His Highness Prince Qin seek refuge with the Queen?
What good will this do to him?"
Li Weiyang said calmly: "He is just a faggot.
He wants to get some benefits, but he doesn't dare to use his full strength.
It's a pity that the Zhou family's 100,000 forbidden troops can't play much role at this time."
Zhao Yue said with some worry: "Now there is only the dispute between the Guo family and the Pei family.
Miss, what are you going to do next?"
Li Weiyang raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were as cold as snow and as sharp as a knife.
Zhao Yue was almost startled and his breathing was stagnant.
However, this was just a moment of sharpness.
Li Weiyang restrained the anger in his eyes. , suddenly smiled again, her smile was like spring flowers blooming, and even people's hearts softened.
She said softly: "Let me think about this."
When Zhao Yuegang was about to ask more questions, Director Guo came in and said with a slight smile: "Sister, are you thinking of any bad ideas here again?"
Li Weiyang glanced at him and said quietly: "The news of the victory at the border should be spread to Dadu soon.
As usual, His Majesty is going to worship the heaven."
Director Guo frowned: "But His Majesty has not been in good health recently, so the Crown Prince should take care of it on his behalf."
Li Weiyang smiled: "Yes, this is usually done."
Director Guo's heart skipped a beat and he said, "As you ask, do you have any good ideas?"
Li Weiyang said calmly: "We have always thought about taking action against Ying Chu, but now we might as well think carefully about how to attack Empress Pei to the greatest extent."
Director Guo pondered for a moment: "The first target to attack Empress Pei is the prince.
As long as he makes a mistake, Empress Pei will definitely protect him.
We can use this to blackmail the other party into submission.
If Empress Pei intends to abandon his troops to protect his chariot.
Hmm, then according to I'm afraid the prince's temper will bite him back.
This will save us a lot of energy."
Li Weiyang stood up and chuckled: "In this case, we should act early and arrange everything and wait for the prince to come to our door."
Li Weiyang's prediction was good, and the news of the victory at the border was sent to the palace that afternoon.
While the Sacred Heart was overjoyed, the prince also paid a visit to the Ancestral Temple on behalf of the emperor as usual.
On this day, the city was the busiest.
Thousands of people stood by the road waiting to see the prince appear.
In addition, the prince always liked to show off his personality.
There were neat guards of ceremony along the way, and the streets were full of splendor, making it look grand and grand. .
The prince was riding a tall horse, followed by a gorgeous guard of honor.
He heard the people cheering loudly.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Just when he was secretly proud, he suddenly heard someone in the crowd shout loudly: "His Royal Highness the prince is so majestic and majestic."
Emperor Long" After saying this, countless people shouted: "The True Dragon Emperor, the True Dragon Emperor" The original Crown Prince Chitose became the True Dragon Emperor, which was completely different.
The Crown Prince's complexion changed, and he secretly said something bad.
He quickly stopped the guards and said, "Tell them not to talk nonsense."
Of course, the guards knew that saying such taboo words in public would be a big deal if it reached the ears of the emperor, so they quickly ordered people to investigate, but among the thousands of people who spoke so many words, who would know about this first sound?
It came from someone's mouth.
Even if you catch that one person, you can't stop everyone from talking.
One after another, the call for the True Dragon Emperor became louder and more widespread, so that everyone was chanting the four words "True Dragon Emperor".
The thunderous sound actually made the prince so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
As soon as the prince's guard of honor entered the palace, the emperor was waiting for him in the main hall.
Not only the emperor, but also all civil and military officials.
Everyone looked at the prince with a strange look on his face.
The emperor's face was livid and he said angrily: "Prince, you visited the Ancestral Temple on my behalf today, and you actually made people call you the destined emperor.
It seems that you are really popular."
Hearing this sentence, the prince fell to his knees with a bang, so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
He didn't understand why such a thing happened.
The rumors spread to the emperor's ears like lightning and thunder.
The ministers of the prince next to him hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the popularity of the prince proves that your majesty has chosen the right prince.
He has a successor.
This is the blessing of the country and the blessing of the country.
How can your majesty be angry about this?"
The emperor sneered and said: "The blessing of the country is that I only know that I am still alive.
My son can't wait for the people to call him the destined emperor.
What is the emperor?
Prince, please tell me, you have been coveting the throne of the emperor for a long time.
Is it done?”
The prince's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his back was wet.
He kowtowed on the ground and said loudly: "Father, I have no such intention.
All this is done by someone with deliberate intentions to frame me.
Please, father."
The emperor makes decisions for his sons and ministers."
The emperor's smile became colder and colder: "You are quite unjust, but it's enough for one person to shout like this.
Why are the people in the whole city shouting like this?"
The prince said loudly: "Father, how do those stupid people know what is right and wrong?
As long as someone with a heart provokes them, they will talk nonsense."
The emperor said coldly: "Since you are a fool, how can you know that I have chosen the right prince?"
The prince was shocked.
The emperor was refuting what the ministers around the prince had just said.
The prince was anxious, and he quickly stepped forward and knelt at the emperor's feet, trying to grab a corner of the emperor's dragon robe, and said sadly: "Father, I really don't know who has such resentment against me.
You can't frame your son like this."
He said with tears streaming down his face, feeling extremely aggrieved.
The emperor sneered and said: "I can't stand a prince like you.
My son is eager to sit on the throne of emperor before I die.
Why don't you see if you are worthy?"
After saying this, He kicked the prince violently, hitting him in the heart.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The prince was knocked to the ground by the kick.
The fishy smell boiled in his chest, and he ignored the heartache and immediately got up and knelt down again.
At this time, he already knew that someone was deliberately trying to frame him behind his back, and the move was so vicious that he had no way to defend himself.
Since ancient times, emperors have been wary of princes.
If the prince is too good, the emperor is worried that his position will be unstable.
If the prince is too popular with the people, the emperor will feel that the prince is guilty, so no matter what he says today, there is no way to dispel the emperor's suspicion.
Several ministers who had been prepared stood up, and one of them said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a brief report."
The emperor glanced at the other party and said, "Grand Bachelor, what do you have to say?"
Pan Yang, a great scholar, said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I want to sue His Highness the Crown Prince."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, what do you want to sue the prince?"
Academician Pan's voice was like a bell: "We are going to sue the prince for keeping a concubine in his house.
This girl is from Dali."
Hearing these words, the prince was completely confused.
He didn't expect that the other party would raise this point at this moment, and he even forgot to defend himself for a moment.
In front of everyone, Academician Pan pointed at the prince and said sternly: "Your Majesty, our army suffered successive defeats on the battlefield a few days ago.
I am puzzled by this.
Only recently have I understood the reason."
The emperor frowned and said, "What's the reason?"
Pan Xueshi said: "All this is because all the secret information submitted to the prince's case was sent back to the front line one by one by the Dali woman and sent to the case of the monarch of her native country."
When he said this, he had already His voice was fierce, his veins were bulging, and his expression was ferocious.
The prince almost collapsed to the ground.
He had always known that Leng Lian was from Dali, but he did not expect that this matter would be revealed at this time, when he had just made a big mistake.
After Pan Xueshi said this, Qiao Yushi also stood up.
He said coldly: "Your Majesty, in order to achieve his ambition of ascending to the throne as soon as possible, His Royal Highness actually ignored the interests of the country and took in the Vietnamese spies.
And with her hands, Sending the intelligence secretly has caused the army to suffer successive defeats on the front line.
This kind of traitorous behavior, how can the prince of a country become a person who is really harmful to the country and the people?
Please make a decision as soon as possible. " The emperor looked at these people with a little surprise.
The officials who spoke this time were all neutrals.
This situation was really strange.
First, the prince made a mistake, and then several people came out to sue him.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly.
The prince said sternly: "Father, I have been wronged.
I don't know anything.
These people" After speaking, he turned around and pointed at everyone one by one and said: "They have joined hands to accuse my father unjustly.
You must make the decision for me."
The emperor sneered and said: "So, you did not take in the Dali woman."
The prince was speechless and could not even speak.
He almost fainted as he stared at the emperor.
The emperor looked at his expression and knew that this was true.
He snorted coldly and said: "I have already said that no one is allowed to take in people from Dali.
You actually openly took in a Dali woman in your palace and treated her badly."
With so much love and affection, you are worthy of the title of Crown Prince."
Before the prince had time to defend himself, he heard Qiao Yushi say loudly: "Your Majesty, this woman is not only from Dali, she is also the concubine of the previous monarch."
When these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar.
The princelings who originally wanted to speak for the prince also looked at each other in confusion.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
They never expected that the prince would do such a ridiculous thing.
There is nothing wrong with you liking beautiful women.
It can be said that you are blinded by beauty, but you are so stupid that you take in the concubine of an enemy monarch.
You are completely crazy to do such a thing.
The prince saw the look of contempt in the eyes of everyone, including the courtiers who had always supported him.
His heart suddenly became cold and he couldn't help shouting: "Master Xue, please say a few words for me, Master Gao, you You have always understood me best, I am really General Liang who was wronged, why are you silent?"
These people had always supported Empress Pei and protected the crown prince's position, but now they all looked at the prince in front of them in silence.
As a prince, you don't have to be smart, you can be confused occasionally, and you can covet the position of emperor.
But if you are so stupid and so crazy that you don't know yourself, how can such a person be worthy of becoming the king of a country?
Originally, the prince did not make too many mistakes in terms of virtue, so these ministers had been silently supporting the prince out of support for Queen Pei, but now they began to doubt whether the prince could shoulder the burden of a country.
Yuexi is different from ordinary countries.
There are many factions of major aristocratic families, and various forces are complicated.
If you want to control these aristocratic families and firmly control the power in the country, you need an iron-blooded monarch, and you also need a wise mind.
But the prince's appearance really made these ministers feel so chilled and disappointed, so no one spoke, and everyone looked at the prince in silence.
The emperor looked at the prince and said, "What else do you have to say now?"
Waves of sadness surged through the prince's heart.
He stood up suddenly and said in panic: "I want to see my mother, I want to see my mother."
The emperor waved his hand in disgust and said: "Take the prince into custody first, and immediately send people to the prince's mansion to search for the Dali spy."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the prince almost burst into tears and said: "Father, my son is really unjust.
Don't believe those people's nonsense."
But before he could finish speaking, he was already dragged off by the guards.
In Pei's harem.
Empress Pei was pruning potted plants when Ying Chu strode in without even having time to inform anyone.
Empress Pei raised her eyebrows at him and said lightly: "When did you become so reckless?"
Ying Chu's face was filled with anxiety: "Empress, something bad has happened and the prince has been detained by your majesty."
The scissors in Queen Pei's hand clicked and she cut off a good branch.
She turned to look at Ying Chu and said coldly: "What mistake did he make again?"
Yingchu lowered his head: "This time the prince did not make a mistake, he was just framed."
Empress Pei threw away the scissors and sighed: "How could he have been framed if he had done nothing wrong?"
Yingchu stopped talking.
Of course he was very disappointed with the prince, let alone Queen Pei.
But he still carefully explained everything that happened today.
Empress Pei was quite surprised: "You mean someone shouted long live the mountain today?"
Yingchu nodded and said, "Yes, they claim that the prince is their true destiny and shout long live.
Of course, your majesty will be furious."
Empress Pei took two steps in the main hall, then turned back and said: "Soon after, someone came to play for the prince to take in the Dali spy."
Yingchu said: "Yes, and there are quite a few of them, they all belong to the Wang family's camp."
Empress Pei sneered and said: "Li Weiyang and Wang Zijin are the same.
It seems that they have already set up a trap and are waiting for the prince to get into it.
At the beginning, Li Weiyang had been holding back on Leng Lian's matter for this purpose.
So, if I hadn't been able to spare my time, I would have gotten rid of Leng Lian long ago."
In fact, both Empress Pei and Ying Chu secretly sent people into the Prince's Mansion to try to kill Leng Lian to avoid future troubles.
However, this woman was too cunning, and there seemed to be many people around her secretly protecting her.
They simply did not Find a way to start.
But unexpectedly, this incident broke out at this time.

Empress Pei thought for a moment and immediately said: "Go to the prince's mansion now and try to bring Leng Lian here."
Ying Chu said: "My dear, I have already sent people there, and I will definitely catch this woman before your majesty."
Empress Pei then slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As long as she dies, no one can catch the prince even if she dies without any evidence."
Yingchu showed worry on his face and couldn't help but said: "But my Majesty, since the other party has already fallen into this trap, I'm afraid that the prince will not be allowed to get away with it so easily."
Empress Pei's eyes were bright and she said word by word: "No matter what method you think of, Leng Lian must never speak again."
Ying Chu's heart trembled and he said respectfully: "Yes, empress."
In Guo Mansion's study room, Li Weiyang was practicing calligraphy.
After listening to Director Guo's words, she couldn't help but smile: "So, many people have rushed to the Prince's Mansion to find Leng Lian?"
Director Guo said: "Yes, it seems that she is bound to die now.
Whether it is your majesty or the queen, they all want her life."
Li Weiyang smiled softly: "I asked you to send a letter to Leng Lian earlier.
Has the letter been delivered?"
Director Guo nodded: "Of course she will be sent, but whether she can escape depends on her own ability.
In fact, according to me, such a treacherous person should be unable to speak for the rest of her life. " It was so easy for her to die.
Li Weiyang smiled lightly, but did not explain.
In the Empress Pei's Palace "What did you say, Leng Lian ran away?"
Empress Pei suddenly stood up from her seat, her expression suddenly changed.
It was rare for Yingchu to see Empress Pei with such an expression.
He lowered his voice and said, "Please forgive me, I am a little late."
Empress Pei slowly sat back in her seat.
She looked at Ying Chu and said word by word: "It seems that they have been prepared for it.
If this Leng Lian dies in our hands, we can say that she committed suicide out of fear of crime." , as long as there is an explanation for the prince Testimony, the prince will be safe.
If she is not dead, we can always have a way to ask her to tell her the way we want, but she just ran away without seeing her alive or dead.
Why clear the prince's name?"
Empress Pei felt waves of dizziness.
These recent things had made her extremely upset.
She has always been a calm person, but she couldn't help but feel angry at this moment.
She wasn't sad for the prince, but she really hated the feeling of not being able to control everything.
When Yingchu saw Empress Pei so angry, she thought of something else.
Empress Pei said she didn't care about the prince, but after all, he was her biological son.
The man she had carefully cultivated for so many years was about to be destroyed before her eyes.
Empress Pei How could he not be anxious?
But looking at the current situation, it would not be of any benefit to Queen Pei if he forcibly rescued the prince.
He took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I know that you have a deep love for the Crown Prince and his mother, so naturally you don't want to see him suffer.
But you also know His Majesty's temper very well.
Without real evidence, we have no way to clear the Crown Prince's charges.
If we act rashly, If you take action, I'm afraid that if your majesty blames you, your concubine will also be blamed."
Empress Pei suddenly raised her head, looked directly at Ying Chu and said: "According to what you said, do you just leave the prince alone?"
Ying Chu quickly said: "My dear, that's not what Wei Chen means."
Empress Pei smiled coldly and said: "I know there are many conflicts between you and the prince, and he is very disrespectful to you.
It is normal for you to blame him.
But no matter what, he is the prince after all, and he is my biological son.
If I don't even want to save him, what does he have?
Moreover, I have carefully trained him for so many years, and I have put in so much effort and effort, and now it has been destroyed like this, do we still have hope for that dragon chair?"
She did not say the real thing, she left The prince will be of great use in the future Hearing what Empress Pei said, Ying Chu was shocked, but he said calmly: "My Lady, at the critical moment, you can only abandon your troops to save your chariot.

Isn't this what you said?"
Queen Pei said slowly: "I don't know this, but if I really let him go this time, he might not even be able to save his life."
Yingchu looked coldly: "How could this happen?
After all, he is His Majesty's biological son."
Empress Pei sneered and said: "In his heart, only the child born to this bitch, Princess Qixia, is his biological flesh and blood.
As for the others, they are just tools that can be kicked away at any time.
He has recently been vigorously supporting Prince Jing.
Going against the crown prince and summoning the King of Qin and the King of Jin again and again, it is clear that he has seen through my mind.
The King of Qin originally promised us but immediately went back on it, which shows that he is still very afraid of the emperor. " Yingchu said: "Even if it is a sick tiger, it still has its power.
Don't underestimate your majesty."
Empress Pei sneered and said: "Yes, I still underestimated him.
After all, this headache did not drive him crazy, so he is driving me now."
At this point, she lowered her head and looked at herself.
The crescent moon-like nails were glowing with light blue, and the expression on his face became calmer.
She stood up slowly and said, "Anyway, the prince has not yet played his full role, so I must save him."
Ying Chu said quickly: "Then how are you going to exonerate the prince?"
From Ying Chu's point of view, Leng Lian had already escaped, and all the ministers insisted that the prince had taken in the princess of an enemy country.
Although there is no real evidence that he can't catch anyone, the rumors alone are enough to make the prince drink a pot.
Empress Pei sighed and said, "Follow me to see your Majesty."
Yingchu was shocked, and before he could stop him, he saw Queen Pei walking out.
In the royal study, the emperor was listening to the ministers report on the war on the front line.
At this moment, he heard the guard coming to report in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the Queen has requested to be summoned."
The emperor said impatiently: "Tell her I'm not free."
The guard went out tremblingly, but came back after a while.
He said with some fear on his face: "Your Majesty, the empress will not leave no matter what."
Before he could finish his words, an inkstone hit him with a "snap" sound.
The head was suddenly dripping with blood.
I only heard the emperor sternly saying: "I never say something twice, get out of here."
The guard did not dare to say any more and left in a hurry, covering his head.
The emperor looked at his courtiers and said, "Continue."
The Minister of War glanced at the emperor with some anxiety, and then continued: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Before the Secretary of the Ministry of War said a few words, he heard a sharp shout from outside: "Get out of here, all of you."
All the maids and eunuchs outside the imperial study room dispersed and knelt down.
There were also people who tried to stop the queen from breaking into the imperial study room.
But in the end they were stopped by the guards brought by the queen.
The emperor looked towards the door of the study and saw that Empress Pei had strode in.
Her appearance has always been graceful and luxurious, but at this moment she is also full of anger.
Although the raging anger is suppressed in her heart, Empress Pei is still polite and considerate: "I, my concubine, see your majesty."
The emperor looked at her coldly: "The queen is becoming more and more courageous.
She actually ignores etiquette and makes such a fuss."
Pei Hou looked calm: "Your Majesty, I have something important to ask for, but I don't know why your Majesty refuses to call me."
The emperor said calmly: "Didn't you see that I am discussing military matters with these ministers?
Is there anything important that cannot wait?"
Empress Pei's cold eyes swept across the faces of the courtiers, and everyone who glanced at her felt a chill down their backs.
The Minister of War said quickly: "Your Majesty, since the Queen has important matters, I will leave first."

The emperor said coldly: "I didn't let you leave, how dare you leave?"
The Minister of War and the others looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a cold sweat in their hearts.
The Queen was not an economical person.
None of them dared to disobey the other's words.
Empress Pei said no more, just said coldly: "Your Majesty, I heard that you imprisoned the prince in your house."
The emperor snorted coldly and said: "Is there anything wrong in what I did?"
Empress Pei said: "I dare not say that what you did was wrong, but your Majesty made a decision before the matter was clearly investigated.
Isn't it too arbitrary?"
The emperor's face suddenly darkened: "My imperial edict is golden.
The queen does not need to plead for the prince.
My decision will not change."
When Empress Pei heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, the prince is your biological son.
If he is guilty, you can give him a glass of poisonous wine or a dagger.
It's all good and refreshing, but you can't humiliate him."
He is a dignified prince of a country, but he is imprisoned in the prince's house in such a unclear and unexplained manner.
How do you want him to face the courtiers and the people of the world?"
The emperor smiled slightly and said: "What did the queen say?
Since the prince has done something wrong, I naturally have to teach him a lesson.
Do I have to ignore the laws of the country and condone the prince's misbehavior in order to be a qualified father?"
Empress Pei sneered and said: "May I ask your Majesty, what crime did the prince commit?"
The emperor's eyes were as cold as ice: "This traitor has committed a heinous crime.
Minister of the Ministry of War, tell the queen."
The Minister of War shuddered in his heart, but under the emperor's intimidating eyes, he said helplessly: "Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince instigates the people to shout for long live the mountain.
It is obvious that he has disobedient intentions, and there are still people in his mansion.
He took in a Dali woman, who is said to be a beloved concubine of the late Emperor Dali.”
Empress Pei said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are talking nonsense.
The people are ignorant people.
As long as you instigate the crowd and take the lead in shouting, they will not know what they are shouting.
As for the beauty in the prince's palace."
Concubine, me too You know, she is indeed a Dali woman, but her identity is not a concubine in the palace, she is just an ordinary civilian woman.
The prince is just temporarily seduced by beauty.
He is still young, which is inevitable. " The emperor said coldly: "What evidence is there for what the queen said?"
Empress Pei stared at him with a deep look: "I don't have enough evidence, does your Majesty have it?
Now that this woman has disappeared, it can be regarded as no evidence.
Your Majesty has no witnesses, so why should you decide on the prince?"
sin" The emperor frowned: "Since the queen also admits that this woman is from Dali, it means that the prince is openly defying the decree.
Although he is my biological son, I cannot show favoritism."
Empress Pei heard this and sneered: "Your Majesty, are you trying to tear our mother and son apart alive?"
The emperor suppressed his anger: "Queen, my decree has been issued.
The prince must be imprisoned in the palace.
No matter what you say, I will not change my mind."
Empress Pei said sternly: "I don't care.
The prince is my biological son.
Whoever wants to take him away will have to step on my body."
Queen Pei rarely looked so vehement, and when all the courtiers saw her like this, they didn't dare to speak for a while.

During the stalemate, they suddenly heard someone say: "Please calm down, the Queen."
Everyone turned to look, only to see King Jing hurried in from outside.
The emperor looked at him and said: "Prince Jing, why are you so late?"
King Jing smiled and said: "Reporting to my father, I am delayed because of something.
Please forgive me."
The emperor waved his hand and said: "Forget it."
Empress Pei scolded him coldly: "Prince Jing, I am talking to His Majesty, what qualifications do you have to interrupt?"
As soon as he said this, everyone turned pale with fright.
Empress Pei paid no attention to anyone and snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, please release the prince immediately."
The emperor looked at Empress Pei coldly.
He knew that this woman was fooling around on the surface, but in fact she was using her power accumulated over the years to oppress him.
King Jing said loudly: "Empress, you just said something wrong."
Empress Pei suddenly turned her head to look at him and said, "What did I say wrong?"
Prince Jing said: "You said that Leng Lian was just an ordinary civilian woman in Dali.
Unfortunately, she has now confessed that her true identity is a spy of Dali, and she was also the concubine of the late emperor of Dali."
Pei's face turned pale.
She immediately thought that Leng Lian had not escaped at all, but fell into the hands of King Jing.
At this time, she suddenly understood that this was a trap, and the other party was trying to lure her in.
In the meantime, she subconsciously took a step forward, looked at King Jing and said: "The cold lotus is in your hands."
King Jing smiled slightly and said: "Yes, now that the witness has been obtained, the prince's crime cannot be cleared.
Queen, everyone knows that you love your son very much, but you should not defend him anymore, otherwise it will be a shame to the world.
"The Heart of All People" The queen's hands were gently clasped in her sleeves.
She stared at King Jing with an extremely cold look in her eyes.
The emperor smiled coldly: "Queen, you are the master of the Sixth Palace, so I have always left you with dignity and never blamed you in front of others.
But looking at what you did today, I am really disappointed."
Empress Pei was suddenly shocked.
When Leng Lian was not found and the witness was absent, she could still say that the prince was innocent.
However, now that Leng Lian had fallen into the hands of King Jing, the prince no longer had the capital to turn the tables.
Her expression softened, and she apologized gracefully: "Your Majesty, I was just in a hurry."
The emperor waved his hand and said: "The first thing is that you should not have barged into my imperial study in the first place.
The second thing is that as the mother of a country, you don't care about propriety at all and just favor your own son.
You are determined to save him.
The third thing is even more ridiculous.
You know that I have said something and it is impossible to change it, but you persuade me to take back my will.
You are really confused."
One, two or three crimes were listed.
Even though Empress Pei had been aloof for so many years, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
She knelt down gently on the ground and whispered: "I am a confused concubine.
Please forgive me."
Of course the emperor was very reluctant to drag Empress Pei out and kill her, but he knew that Pei Huaizhen's power was not just that.
Sure enough, a moment later, most of the courtiers in the royal study knelt down and interceded for the empress.
The emperor glanced at them and saw that among them were second-rank ministers, several generals on whom he relied heavily, and even members of the Zhou family.
The emperor felt chilled at this moment.
He said calmly: "Get up.
If I wanted to blame you, I would have already punished you.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I just want you to remember that you are the queen and the mother of a country.
Every move you make will affect the world.
Please think twice before doing anything in the future.”
He paused and then said: "I have made up my mind about today's matter.
The prince is indeed guilty.
He is locked up in the prince's house.
The queen and others are not allowed to intercede for the prince anymore, otherwise he will be severely punished."
Empress Pei said calmly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor nodded and said: "Get up."
Empress Pei stood up, but her legs felt weak.
King Jing smiled and helped her.
Empress Pei turned to look at King Jing and said, "Thank you very much."
King Jing smiled slightly, and that smile was extremely gentle: "What did you say?
The prince is my eldest brother, and you are also my mother, so I naturally have to be filial to you."
Empress Pei smiled coldly, turned and left.
Returning to her palace and sitting down on the chair, she realized that she had been drenched in cold sweat for some time.
She just felt as if she had returned to the time when she first entered the palace, where she couldn't grasp anything.
Feel.
There was a time when she thought that this feeling would never follow her again.
She had defeated everything around her and captured everyone.
But since Li Weiyang appeared, the palace changed from familiar to unfamiliar, and the feeling of losing control seemed to come back.
She gently held her hand in the void.
"Empress."
Empress Pei looked up in surprise, but it was Yingchu standing opposite her.
She was stunned for a moment and then said: "Did you see everything just now?"
Yingchu lowered his head and said, "Yes, your Majesty, all the ministers have seen it.
It seems that His Royal Highness King Jing had planned it for a long time.
He was waiting for your Majesty to mistakenly think that Leng Lian had disappeared, and deliberately made a scene with Your Majesty, using his power to force His Majesty to Agree to release the prince."
Empress Pei sighed softly: "I am anxious after all."
Yingchu looked at Empress Pei.
At this moment, Pei Huaizhen seemed different from the person he knew in the past.
The woman in front of him had always had no feelings for anyone.
She could even use her own children as a springboard, but today she She was panicking.
Why was it for the prince?
No, the prince was not so swaying.
She gradually lost her confidence and the feeling that she had everything under control.
Yingchu took a step forward and said, "Don't worry, Madam, we still have a lot of cards in our hands that have not been played out.
As long as we use them properly, we won't let King Jing and the Guo family take advantage of them."
Yingchu said with confidence.
Empress Pei smiled leisurely: "It would be great if things were really that easy.
Originally, I thought Tuobayu was at least an ally who could support me.
But I didn't expect that he was just an Adou who couldn't be supported.
I gave him everything.
With so much convenience and help, he still lost to Yuan Lie."
Of course Ying Chu understood that they had planted many spies around General Wang Gong.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
These people were their income from many years of business, and it was not easy to insert them and win Wang Gong's trust.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Lie killed all those people when he left, without any regard for human kindness, and then launched an attack on Tuobayu.
I originally thought that Yuan Lie was just an embroidered pillow, but I didn't expect that this man was really capable.
He was decisive in killing and ruthless.
Even if he could not become a king, he was still a great hero.
Now Yingchu regrets letting Yuan Lie out in the first place, but it is too late to regret now.
To blame, he can only blame Tuo Bayu for being so incompetent that he failed even under such an advantageous situation.
Empress Pei raised her eyes, glanced at Ying Chu and said, "There is no hope for the south, but what about the east?"
She was asking about the war between Yuexi and Dazhou.
Yingchu's face didn't look very good, and Empress Pei understood it in the next moment.
She sighed and said, "It seems that our deployment still hasn't worked."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yingchu's face, "Qi Guogong seems to have been prepared for this.
Several of our hidden stumbling blocks have been eliminated."
Empress Pei stood up slowly.
She took two steps in the hall, then turned to look at Ying Chu and said: "It seems that not only do we know Li Weiyang very well, but she also knows us well.
There is something wrong with our deployment."
The whole thing is in her hands."
Yingchu lowered his head and said, "Yes, empress.
For now, we must get rid of this woman first, and then it will not be too late to think of other ways to rescue the prince."
Empress Pei thought for a while, then stared at Ying Chu and said: "I have thought of so many ideas but there is no way to eliminate the trouble forever.
According to you, what should we do?"
When she said this, a look burst out in her eyes.
A strange brilliance, extremely bright, astonishingly bright, and frighteningly bright.
Ying Chu was looked at with sharp eyes, but for the first time, he stopped smiling.
He looked at Queen Pei and slowly showed an expression of disbelief, just because he suddenly understood what Queen Pei wanted him to do.
For a long time, his body seemed to be frozen into a statue, and he did not move.
Empress Pei reminded him: "Ying Chu, do you understand what I mean?"
Ying Chu was stunned, and suddenly fell to his knees and said, "My dear lady, Ying Chu once swore to stay by your side for the rest of his life."
Empress Pei looked at him condescendingly and said, "But now, I need your help."
Yingchu closed his eyes in pain and didn't speak for a long time.
Empress Pei just looked at him quietly, with a calm expression, as if she was waiting for him to make his own decision, and as if she already knew what decision Yingchu would make.
Finally Yingchu opened his eyes, lowered his head and said solemnly: "Yes, empress, Yingchu will definitely solve this trouble for you."
Empress Pei finally nodded.
Everything that happened all day today made her very unhappy, but now she finally smiled.
That smile was like the sunshine breaking through the dark clouds, very beautiful, and it had the power to charm people's hearts.
Yingchu couldn't take his eyes off it.
He thought that maybe this was the last time in his life that he would see Queen Pei smile like this.
At this time, in the Duke's Mansion of Qi, Li Weiyang was holding Li Minzhi and asked him with a smile: "Where did mother take you to play today?"
Minzhi played with a windmill in his hand and said with a smile: "Today my mother took me to burn incense."
Li Weiyang nodded and said: "Is it fun?"
Li Minzhi looked at Li Weiyang and said, "What's so fun about offering incense?
Sister, you're asking a very strange question."
Li Weiyang smiled, touched the other person's head, and then said softly: "For my sister, as long as I can leave the house, it will be fun."
Li Minzhi looked at Li Weiyang's expression and felt more and more strange, tilting his head to look at her.
Li Weiyang stopped smiling, only feeling that this soft body and the delicate voice soothed her original feeling of uneasiness.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door outside, and Zhao Yue came in to report: "Miss, Miss Wang wants to see you."
Li Weiyang glanced at the sky outside, smiled slightly and said: "Invite her in."
When Wang Zijin came in, he saw Li Weiyang playing with Minzhi.
When he saw her coming in, Li Weiyang didn't get up to greet her.
He just smiled and said, "Sit down."
This meant that she was one of his own.
Wang Zijin sat down with a smile.
Zhao Yue made her a cup of tea.
She took a sip and then said softly: "The palace is very lively today."
Li Weiyang raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Zijin, and said thoughtfully: "Really, the trouble is very serious."
Wang Zijin said with a smile: "Queen Pei has always been calm.
This time, the matter about the prince has turned upside down.
Fortunately, His Highness Prince Jing caught Leng Lian in time.
Otherwise, the prince can really get away with it."
Li Weiyang's voice was calm: "Leng Lian can't escape.
King Jing has been staring at her.
Although she is extremely smart, she can't help but be remembered by others."
Wang Zijin looked at Li Weiyang and said: "So, you have already anticipated her ending."
Li Weiyang smiled: "If she had left earlier, she would not have been trapped in the swamp.
In fact, I have given her many opportunities these days.
As long as she gives up her glory and wealth, she can naturally escape.
What a pity.
She is greedy for the crown prince's power, so she has been unwilling to leave.
She is willing to deal with us, but her luck is bad. " When Wang Zijin heard this, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Then he slowly said: "From what you said, it seems that you have already suspected Prince Jing."
Li Weiyang smiled and shook his head: "Nonsense, King Jing is my cousin, why should I doubt him?"
Wang Zijin put down the tea cup and said, "If I didn't have suspicion, how could I have expected that he would capture Leng Lian so early in the morning?"
Li Weiyang looked calm: "His Royal Highness Jing is thoughtful and well-organized.
He was eager for quick success and quick success a few days ago.
We all thought he was coveting the throne.
But then I thought about it carefully and realized that these performances may not be for His Majesty. of."
Hearing this sentence, Wang Zijin was a little surprised and said: "It's for His Majesty to see, what does this mean?"
Li Weiyang chuckled and said: "The meaning is easy to understand.
If he had been standing still and showed no concern for the throne, the emperor would have doubted his intentions.
On the contrary, he acted anxiously and impatiently, and exposed a lot of his own secrets.
Weakness, this method can make His Majesty think that he is just a prince who cannot calm down and cannot achieve great things. " When Wang Zijin heard this, her face slowly calmed down.
She had already understood what Li Weiyang meant.
King Jing used a method of deliberately showing weakness, but this kind of weakness was covered up by a strong attack, which made everyone Everyone could see that King Jing coveted the throne and saw his many weaknesses exposed in the attack.
And this weakness is the side that King Jing wants them to see or they have never understood Yuan Ying as a person.
Wang Zijin's heart became colder and colder: "So we have all been tricked by Yuanying."
Li Weiyang said calmly: "His Royal Highness King Jing's mind is unpredictable, Zijin, I advise you to be more careful."
Wang Zijin looked at Li Weiyang intently and said: "You know there is an agreement between me and Prince Jing."
Li Weiyang nodded lightly: "There has been an agreement between the Wang family and Prince Jing for a long time, and I didn't want to interfere.
It's just that Prince Jing has even hidden it from you.
His behavior is really disturbing."

At this time, someone outside said: "Jia'er, you are too alarmist."
They both raised their heads at the same time and saw Director Guo walking in with a smile.
He was dressed in a pure white robe, handsome and elegant, and Wang Zijin couldn't take his eyes off him.
Wang Zijin said: "Does the Fifth Young Master trust King Jing very much?"
Director Guo sat down at the table, looked at Wang Zijin and said: "Miss Wang, after all, Yuanying and I grew up together.
He is indeed very thoughtful and has been a little more eager for quick success in recent times.
But I believe , He is not a sinister and vicious person."
Li Weiyang smiled: "Fifth brother, why do you say something you don't believe yourself?"
Director Guo was shocked, looked at Li Weiyang and said: "Jia'er, what are you doing?"
Li Weiyang sighed softly: "Fifth brother, I didn't want Leng Lian to be caught, so I sent someone to inform her to leave first, but King Jing kidnapped her on the way.
What does this mean?
This can only mean He actually knew early on that Leng Lian was the backbone I arranged in the Prince's Mansion, and he also knew that Leng Lian was working for me, but he still caught her and used it to threaten her.
The key is that when he wanted to capture Leng Lian, he didn't even think about informing me.
This is already a very strange thing.
I know that Fifth Brother and King Jing grew up together and have always had a close relationship.
It's good, but you know people but don't know people's hearts.
After all, you and he are not brothers, so how can you know what the other person thinks?
The reputation of His Highness Prince Jing's Smiling Tiger is not in vain. " Hearing Li Weiyang speak so aggressively, Director Guo's face turned slightly pale.
At this time, Li Weiyang had already ordered Zhao Yue to take Min Zhi out, who was confused.
Then he said: "Actually, what kind of person is His Highness Prince Jing?"
Man, I am not I don't care.
What I really care about is what he wants to do with the Duke of Qi.
If he is really asking for help, why doesn't he even want to let us know his true identity and insists on pretending to be eager for quick success and making Concubine Hui worry about him?
" Director Guo looked at Li Weiyang and hesitated slightly: "Maybe he has other difficulties."
Li Weiyang sneered: "As long as there is no one alive in this world, there will be no problem.
Fifth brother, don't think too much of King Jing.
His purpose is just to compete for the throne, and all of us are just pawns in his eyes."
Director Guo was silent for a long time before he said softly: "Jia'er, at least I believe he really likes you."
Li Weiyang's smile became even colder: "Yes, he likes me, but he has no respect for me.
What he does is more to use me and the Guo family.
No matter how sincere we are to him, he He has only one purpose, which is to ascend to the throne, and for this he does not hesitate to conceal his true temperament."
Director Guo looked at Li Weiyang and didn't say a word for a long time.
He really didn't want to believe that King Jing was such a person.
But in recent times, according to his observation, Li Weiyang was right.
What Yuanying showed was just what he wanted them to see, and it was really just the tip of the iceberg.
Could it be that because of the throne, Yuanying has become so strange?
Li Weiyang couldn't help but shook her head when she saw Director Guo looking lonely.
She had no friendship with Yuanying, so she criticized her mercilessly.
However, Director Guo grew up with Yuanying and they were like brothers.
In order to achieve great things, Yuanying hid everything from the Duke of Qi and even hid these close relatives.
Treating him like a doll and just letting him get rounded and flattened was really disappointing.
No wonder Director Guo showed such an expression.
Wang Zijin looked at Director Guo and couldn't help but persuade him softly: "Fifth Young Master, everyone has their own ambitions, so why are you so sad?"
Director Guo raised his head and glanced at Wang Zijin.
He did not expect that the other party would actually come to comfort him.

Li Weiyang also looked at Wang Zijin.
Over the past few days, she had vaguely felt that this girl seemed to have changed.
In the past, she always acted on her own interests.
The first consideration, but now she actually takes care of other people's emotions, and this person is Director Guo, who she has never been on good terms with.
Li Weiyang smiled softly.
Maybe the fifth brother had found his marriage.
Thinking of this, she stood up and said to the two of them: "His Royal Highness Jing's ambition has been initially exposed.
He wants us to rush ahead.
Go deal with Queen Pei, and wait until Queen Pei falls, I wonder if we will end up like a rabbit or a dog."
Director Guo felt cold, looked at Li Weiyang and said: "Jia'er, things will really happen to that point."
Li Weiyang said: "I don't know.
I know too little about Jing Wang Yuanying.
Maybe I think of him too badly.
Fifth brother, I am a suspicious person, aren't you?
Just treat me as anything."
Didn’t say it.”
Director Guo really wanted Li Weiyang to be suspicious, but he knew that the other party's suspicion was not unreasonable.
He gritted his teeth and said: "If Yuan Ying really just uses the Duke of Qi's palace as a pawn, I will never forgive him."
Li Weiyang sighed: "I heard that Concubine Hui is suffering from cold.
Mother and I are going to the palace to visit.
If you are free, Fifth Brother, you should also go to Prince Jing's Mansion and explore his voice."
Director Guo looked at Li Weiyang and was slightly surprised: "Go and check his tone."
Li Weiyang nodded: "Yes, let's explore his tone."
Director Guo hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "Okay, I'll go."
Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "Fifth brother, don't take your feelings too seriously, otherwise you will only be hurt."
Early the next morning, Li Weiyang and Mrs.
Guo went into the palace to pay homage to Concubine Guo Hui.
The palace of Concubine Guo seems to be very deserted.
I heard that she has dispersed the palace people recently, leaving only the personal maids to serve in food and daily life.
As for other people, she rarely sees them, and she seems to live in isolation.
Concubine Hui looked very happy when she saw Mrs.
Guo.
However, Li Weiyang saw that Concubine Hui's face was a little pale and couldn't help but said: "Mother, how is your health?"
Concubine Guo's expression was very calm: "I just felt cold occasionally, it's nothing serious."
The female officer next to her lowered her head, not even daring to look at Mrs.
Guo.
Mrs.
Guo saw some clues and said: "Mother, we are a family, what is there to say?"
Just as Concubine Hui was about to say something, she suddenly coughed violently.
She quickly covered it with a handkerchief.
After the coughing stopped, she smiled and said, "I'm really fine.
Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry."
When Mrs.
Guo saw the scarlet dots on the handkerchief, she couldn't help being startled and said quickly: "Your Majesty, why did you hide it from us?"
Concubine Hui had already crumpled the handkerchief into a ball and stuffed it into her sleeve.

She forced a smile and said, "Look what sister-in-law said, I have nothing to hide from you."
Just as Mrs.
Guo was about to speak, Li Weiyang suddenly held her hand, turned to Concubine Hui with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, you summoned us into the palace, but do you have anything to say?"
Guo Huifei glanced at the female officers beside her, waved her hands, and said softly: "You guys go out, I have something to tell them."
As a result, only Concubine Hui, Mrs.
Guo, and Li Weiyang were left in the hall.
Concubine Guo suddenly stood up from the bed.
Without waiting for Mrs.
Guo to help her, she fell to her knees.
Mrs.
Guo and Li Weiyang were both startled and tried to help her up.
Concubine Guo grabbed Mrs.
Guo's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, I want everything.”
Mrs.
Guo said: "Mother, why do you need to get up so quickly?
I really can't bear it."
Concubine Guo said solemnly: "No, sister-in-law, I have to ask you something."
Mrs.
Guo said: "You said, no matter what happens, I will do my best."
Concubine Guo Hui sighed and said: "Sister-in-law, my heart has died since I entered the palace, and I am just a walking corpse.
My mother once said to me that if you are born in the Duke of Qi's palace, you will be a child of the Guo family for the rest of your life. , I must be responsible to the Guo family and be loyal to the country.
I think I have done nothing wrong over the years, and I can be considered worthy of my mother and the Guo family. " Mrs.
Guo said: "Yes, yes, please stand up and speak."
Concubine Hui shook her head and refused to get up.
She looked at Mrs.
Guo and said, "In recent days, I have summoned the imperial doctor, but he said that my end is approaching."
Mrs.
Guo couldn't help but shed tears.
Concubine Hui's body has always been relatively healthy, but ever since she left the palace to visit Princess Chen Liu and returned to the palace, Concubine Hui's health has been deteriorating day by day.
After being burned in the palace and being betrayed by those she trusted around her one after another, it was inevitable that the imperial concubine's condition would worsen.
Mrs.
Guo finally helped Concubine Guo Hui up, but she heard her whisper: "I want to ask you one thing, sister-in-law.
No matter what Yuanying does wrong in the future, please don't abandon him."
Hearing this, Li Weiyang already understood.
She looked at Concubine Guo Hui and shook her head gently.
Poor parents in the world, Concubine Hui is a very smart person.
Maybe she is the first person to see through King Jing's mind.
I only heard Concubine Hui say: "Yuan Ying is a child with a very stubborn personality.
No one is willing to give up easily on anything he wants.
Although he has been eager for quick success and quick gain during this period, I find it very strange.
Maybe he is plotting secretly.
Sister-in-law, even if it’s for my sake, if Yuanying does something wrong, please tell me” Concubine Guo Hui's meaning is very simple.
She hopes that Qi Gongfu will not abandon Wang Yuanying.
Li Weiyang said calmly: "Concubine Hui, you are overthinking it.
Your Highness Prince Jing is my cousin, my father and mother's beloved nephew, and my grandmother's beloved grandson.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
No matter what, this blood relationship will not be broken."
Concubine Hui looked at Li Weiyang.
She knew that this girl was very smart and understood what she meant.
Concubine Hui sighed and said, "I'm really scared.
Jia'er, tell me, if Yuanying makes a mistake, can you forgive him?"
Li Weiyang smiled: "No matter what His Highness King Jing does, even if it is for the sake of my aunt, I will forgive him."
Li Weiyang only said this because Guo Huifei had saved herself, not because she had any forgiveness for Wang Jing Yuanying.
Li Weiyang still knew how to reciprocate.
What's more, seeing that Concubine Hui is already in poor health, wouldn't it be worse if she told her now that she would never forgive anyone for trying to harm the Duke of Qi?
Mrs.
Guo was very puzzled when she heard the conversation between the two of them, and said: "Yuanying is just a child.
Although he is a little too eager, he will not do anything.
Madam, you don't have to worry too much.
Take good care of yourself.
It's true."
Guo Huifei sighed softly: "Sister-in-law, you don't understand what I mean, I want to say it."
At this time, Li Weiyang had stopped her: "Ms.
Hui Fei, your health is not good, so there is no need to say more.
Jia'er understands what you mean."
Tears flashed in Guo Huifei's eyes, and then she smiled softly and said: "Jia'er, I am really happy for my sister-in-law.
She has spent so many years looking for her daughter, and now she has finally found you, and she can stay with her family forever.
Being together, this is such a happy thing, unlike me being locked in this golden cage, growing old day after day, and now I am just waiting to die. " Li Weiyang gently stepped forward and held Guo Huifei's cold hand.
She smiled and said: "Empress, no matter where you are, you are one family with us."
Guo Huifei gently pressed her cheek to Li Weiyang's hand.
Li Weiyang felt the hot tears falling on the back of her hand drop by drop.
Because Guo Huifei turned her face away from Mrs.
Guo, only Li Weiyang felt the pain in the other party's heart.
No one is feeling more miserable than Concubine Hui right now.
She knows that her son is ambitious and wants to use the Duke of Qi's palace to ascend to the throne, but she can't do anything.
Back then, she resolutely gave up her lover and entered the palace for the sake of her family.
And now, she is struggling to find a balance between her family and her biological son.
There is no way to have both in this world, but I am afraid that she will end up in vain.
Li Weiyang sighed softly, Yuanying, Yuanying, you can see your mother's heart.
She is here to protect you and seek a guarantee for your future.
Three days later, Leng Lian was imprisoned in the sky prison, and Li Weiyang felt that he needed to see her again.
Maybe there wasn't much affection between her and Leng Lian, but they both came from Dali after all, and there were some things she always wanted to know clearly.
Because of the gold medal left by Yuan Lie, and the government of Qi's government doing everything possible to manage it, it is not difficult to enter the Tianlao, but there are always some people to avoid.
It was late at night before Li Weiyang saw Leng Lian.
In the narrow prison, Leng Lian just moved, the iron shackles made a sound, and there was an unprecedented mockery on that beautiful face.
"Li Weiyang, are you here to send me on my way?"
She resumed her previous calling.
Li Weiyang ordered the jailer to open the door and stepped into the cell.
She smiled slightly when she heard the words and said: "Leng Lian, you should know that you will definitely die this time."
Leng Lian smiled softly: "Since I have been imprisoned, I have thought about death, but I didn't expect that you would come to visit me, an old friend, tonight."
Compared to Leng Lian's eyes full of ridicule, Li Weiyang was very calm: "We have known each other for many years, and I know you are not afraid of death, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly."

Before Leng Lian could speak, Li Weiyang followed up. : "It doesn't matter if you die, but what about Tuo Baxu, what are you going to do to him?"
Leng Lian was stunned for a moment, then fell into silence.
Li Weiyang observed the words and said coldly: "It's in vain that you are a mother.
Don't you know the way of being a mother?
Now that you are behind bars, if the emperor really kills you, of course you will die, what should Tuoba Xu do?
Now he is no longer the prince of Dali, but He is a fugitive who is being hunted.
How old is he?
Do you want him to live a homeless life for the rest of his life?
I know you left him in a farmer's household, but what obligation does he have to raise your child for you without any reason?
You really haven’t thought about your biological son.”
Leng Lian still said sternly: "I am a woman who is greedy for wealth.
I only think about myself.
If I was willing to think about him in the slightest, why would I leave him in the farmhouse and ignore him?
Li Weiyang, don't think this is the case.
You can arouse my xinxing, no matter what you say, it will be useless."
Li Weiyang looked at her coldly and smiled: "Really?
In fact, I have been thinking about who the master behind you is?"
Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Leng Lian couldn't help but frown: "What do you mean?"
Li Weiyang looked calm: "I have been thinking about this issue over and over since you came to Yuexi.
Tuobayu refuses to take you in, and you can't stay in the palace.
But with this beautiful face, where will you go?"
You can survive, why come all the way to Yuexi just because of Yingchu's threat to you?
No, this is impossible. " Leng Lian's voice was cold and authentic: "Because I want to find a good future for myself, because I don't want to die alone like this, and because I feel that I am born with a precious life, and I must not waste my life without any achievements, otherwise wouldn't I be living up to it?"
I have such a beautiful face," she said, with endless sarcasm in her voice.
Li Weiyang chuckled.
In this silent night, her laughter was particularly clear, with a heart-shaking power.
Leng Lian felt uneasy because of her smile: "Li Weiyang, what is your purpose in this situation?
You can completely ignore me in this situation.
After all, I am Dali's spy.
No matter what I say, no one will believe it easily.
You There is no need to worry that I will frame you, because I have no evidence, right?
What on earth are you going to say when you come here?"
Li Weiyang's eyes fell on Leng Lian, her tone was very calm, and she was not affected by the other party at all: "Leng Lian, I just want to know who you came to Yuexi for."
Seeing that Li Weiyang kept asking this question, Leng Lian couldn't help but said impatiently: "Li Weiyang, I have already said that the person who instigated me is Ying Chu.
What on earth do you doubt about me, a dying person, and why do you need to deceive me?"
you" Li Weiyang shook her head, looked at Leng Lian and said: "For you to approach the prince, is it your own idea or someone else's deliberate instigation?"
Leng Lian was stunned: "You didn't let me get close to the prince, why would you ask such a ridiculous question?"
Li Weiyang sighed softly: "Yes, I originally thought that everything was arranged by me.
From the time you entered Yuexi to the time I used you to get close to the prince, everything was so smooth.
It was so smooth that I couldn't help it.
I dare to believe it.
I originally thought it would take some effort to get you close to the prince, but unexpectedly you are willing to let me push the situation.
Should I say you are too stupid or I am too smooth. " Leng Lian said sarcastically: "Just think that I am born to be vain and greedy for power.
In addition, the prince is young, handsome, and holds a high position.
I admire him.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
What's wrong with wanting to use him to climb high?"
Li Weiyang said lightly: "Indeed, this was also my original thought, but now I don't see it that way."
Leng Lian knew how cunning and suspicious the woman opposite was, so she couldn't help but frown and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Li Weiyang's voice was very calm: "The most important point is that you clearly had a chance to escape and just walked away.
Why were you caught by King Jing?"
Leng Lian was shocked, lowered her head and said nothing.
Li Weiyang vaguely confirmed the guess in her heart and said: "Originally, I thought you were a pawn of Queen Pei, but when I think about it carefully, Queen Pei will not harm his son no matter how sinister and vicious he is, so your real master will definitely not It's Empress Pei.
If she is related to the prince.
Qiu, King Jing is also very suspicious, but I don’t think he did this thing, otherwise he could have taken the opportunity to do it, why wait until now, thinking about it, I have never guessed who this person is. , but tonight I suddenly understood.”
Leng Lian suddenly raised her head, with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in her eyes.
Li Weiyang smiled: "Your real master is Ying Chu.
You two have colluded for a long time.
As for you saying that you were coerced by him, it is all lies, just to win my trust."
Leng Lian looked at the other party in shock and lost her voice: "What nonsense are you talking about?
It was Yingchu who forced me to enter Yuexi, and it was he who forced me to have no way out.
How can I be loyal to him?"
Li Weiyang smiled lightly and said: "Yes, I can't believe such an unbelievable thing, but it is true."
Leng Lian finally calmed down and sneered: "I think you are really crazy.
Ying Chu is a person close to Empress Pei.
Why would he frame the prince?
Doesn't it make sense?"
Li Weiyang shook his head and said: "After coming to Yuexi, I encountered many incredible things and met many people I couldn't understand.
Ying Chu is the person I can't understand the most.
He is obviously loyal to Empress Pei, but he seems to be secretly He has been testing her.
He should obviously assist the prince, but he always undermines him.
What on earth is he thinking?"
Leng Lian stopped talking, her beautiful eyes exuding a faint light in the silent dungeon.
She didn't dare to say another word, because Li Weiyang was confirming the guess in her heart step by step through her words.
Li Weiyang smiled: "Actually, I understand everything even if you don't tell me.
It's just when did you and Ying Chu start colluding?
Was it after you entered Yuexi, or when you were far away in Dali?"
Leng Lian finally couldn't help but said: "Li Weiyang, don't you think your imagination is too rich?
The prince may hate Ying Chu, but Ying Chu is not that stupid.
He has never done anything to plot against the prince or anger Empress Pei. " Li Weiyang sighed softly: "No, he has a reason, because he saw that although Queen Pei was ruthless, she always cared about the prince, so he wanted to get rid of the prince, just because he could not tolerate being in Queen Pei's heart.
There is someone else more important than him.
Now he is the prince, and there may be another person in the future."
She paused lightly as she spoke, looking at Leng Lian's expression, but she saw that the other person's beautiful face had turned pale.
Paper.
"I guess Yingchu must have promised you that no matter what methods King Jing uses, and no matter whether His Majesty wants to kill you, he will always find a way to make you escape, right?"
Leng Lian did not expect that Li Weiyang could even guess the other party's guarantee.
Her teeth chattered as she spoke: "You, what else do you know?"
Li Weiyang looked around the silent prison, and finally fell on Leng Lian.
She said quietly: "When you first entered Yuexi, I thought you were coming for me.
In fact, this That's right, but Yingchu seemed to have changed his plan later.
He sent you to the prince through my hand.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Step by step, you have gained the prince's trust.
Now you are already the prince's concubine.
What's even more strange is that he did not hesitate to make both the prince and Queen Pei believe that you are only related to me, Li Weiyang, and have nothing to do with him Ying Chu at his own expense. , It’s all just to deceive others.
In other words, he even took advantage of me.”
Leng Lian's voice couldn't help but tremble, and even her body began to tremble uneasily: "What evidence do you have?"
Seeing that the other party was stubborn, Li Weiyang sighed softly: "Sometimes these things do not require evidence.
In fact, there were still many mysteries that could not be solved before I came.
Now I understand them all.
Leng Lian, Ying Chu is a Smart man, and the one I have so far He is the smartest person I have ever met.
Unfortunately, this smart man is too infatuated.
He is almost crazy.
He did not hesitate to sacrifice himself in order to test Empress Pei, and he did not hesitate to use everyone in the world to get rid of the prince.
And you are doing it for What will help him?”
Leng Lian knew that everything could no longer be concealed.
She sneered and said, "Because Yingchu promised me something."
Li Weiyang turned to look at her and said: "What's the matter?"
Leng Lian said word by word: "He promised to restore the country for me."
When Li Weiyang heard these two words, he felt extremely ridiculous: "Restore the country" Leng Lian nodded, but her expression was extremely solemn: "Yes, to restore the country.
He promised me that when he takes charge of the power, he will take back the throne for me and support me to become the queen.
By then, I will be the head of a country.
You no longer have to look up to others, let alone be groveling to others.”
Li Weiyang was shocked and stared at Leng Lian for a long time without speaking.
No wonder the other party didn't consider the consequences of being exposed by the prince at all.
It turned out that the temptation was so great.
Leng Lian laughed loudly: "Li Weiyang, you must not have thought that I still have such ambitions.
I have had this dream since I entered the court of Dali.
One day I will restore the country."
Li Weiyang looked at the other party quietly and said: "Do you really believe that Ying Chu is just using you?"
Leng Lian smiled faintly: "Although my homeland has been destroyed, now the three countries of Yuexi, Dazhou, and Dali have different intentions, the war is raging, and the hearts of the people have dispersed.
As long as the arrangements are properly made, I will raise my arms as a royal princess.
Those old civil and military officials and heroes from the past will surely come after hearing the news, and the great cause of national restoration is just around the corner."
Li Weiyang understood that Ying Chu had a share in provoking the dispute between the three countries, and Leng Lian took this as a proof that the other party had fulfilled his promise to her.
Leng Lian said every word: "In these years, I have been ashamed and endured humiliation, and I have been working hard all the time.
I can't forget the noble blood flowing in my body, let alone how my parents, the emperor, and their sisters died tragically.
From Dali to Yuexi to the crown prince Li Weiyang, I know that one day the music of the restoration of the country will begin to play, Li Weiyang, my doing this has no conflict with you, and I can even help you in turn after I become the queen, so you just pretend you don’t know."
Li Weiyang looked at each other quietly, but suddenly laughed.
Leng Lian couldn't help but frown: "Are you laughing at my wishful thinking?"
Li Weiyang shook her head lightly: "No, it is always good for people to have dreams.
I have my position, and you also have yours.
We stand in different places, and the scenery we see is naturally different, but you believe that winning Chu, I don’t believe him.
He is not a person who keeps his promises and may abandon you anytime and anywhere.
Just like now, you deliberately fell into King Jing’s hands because Ying Chu wanted to use King Jing’s hand to get rid of the prince.
Isn’t it?
After the matter is completed, will Yingchu let you go?"
Leng Lian's heart was shocked, but she smiled on her face and said firmly: "No, no, Ying Chu will not betray me, because I have what he wants."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows, but was a little surprised: "What makes you so confident?"
Leng Lian's eyes brightened: "My father once left a treasure.
As long as Yingchu supports me and returns to my homeland and makes me ascend the throne, I will take out this treasure and share it with him.
At that time, he can With enough financial and material resources, you can get the person you really want.”
Li Weiyang's eyes narrowed slightly.
She did not expect that there was such an agreement between Ying Chu and Leng Lian.
Her thoughts turned sharply, but she finally sighed and said: "Since you have such high ambitions, there is nothing I can do about it."
Change your mind, that's all, it's up to you, for the sake of us getting to know each other, I just hope you can achieve your wish as soon as possible."
After saying that, she turned and walked out.
Leng Lian suddenly said coldly: "Li Weiyang, don't you believe that I will succeed?
I will definitely succeed.
I want to prove to you that I will succeed."
Li Weiyang's footsteps paused.
After a long time, she turned around, looked at Leng Lian calmly and said, "Then I'll wish you all the best in advance."
After saying that, she smiled softly and said gracefully.
Go away.
Leng Lian clenched her palms angrily.
She knew that Li Weiyang did not believe her.
Although the other party was smiling, his eyes were filled with contempt.
Why would Li Weiyang have so many people following her, and she tried her best to get close to the emperor of Dali, but the old man died in vain.
Then she chose Tuoba Yu, who only had Li Weiyang in her heart.
She had no choice but to form an alliance with Ying Chu, hoping to use the other party's strength to help her reach the top.
How could she not know what Li Weiyang said, that Ying Chu is a duplicitous and capricious villain, but Leng Lian has no choice, she must trust him, because this is the only chance, she must risk everything In the afternoon, Li Weiyang was sitting in the study with nothing to do, holding Minzhi in his arms and teaching him how to read.
Minzhi bit her lip, turned a page impatiently, glanced at Li Weiyang quickly, and whispered: "Sister, what's the use of reading this book?"
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Why, Minzhi doesn't like this book?"
Li Minzhi blinked his eyes and said: "Minzhi doesn't like articles like this.
What Minzhi likes are things that are meaningful."
Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows: "Oh, for example."
Minzhi thought for a while and said solemnly: "For example, Minzhi likes the travel notes in Fifth Brother's room."
Director Guo has a free and unruly nature and hates moral articles the most.
There are many landscape notes in the study.
Li Weiyang frowned and said with some surprise: "You like those landscape travel notes?"
Minzhi nodded, but heard Li Weiyang sigh.
Min Zhi said nervously: "Sister, did I do something wrong?"
Li Weiyang touched his head and whispered: "You did nothing wrong."
Min Zhi followed Li Wei Yang's example and frowned with some distress: "Did I disappoint my sister?
My fourth brother said the same thing about me."
Guo Dun and Li Weiyang smiled: "What did fourth brother say about you?"
Minzhi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Fourth brother said that since I am a general, I should be somewhat heroic, so he wanted to teach me how to use a sword."
This is really what the heroic Guo Dun would say.
Li Weiyang's voice was soft and gentle: "What does Minzhi think?
Does he want to be a prime minister or a general in the future?"
Although Minzhi is young, he is very sensible.
He said with a sweet voice: "Minzhi doesn't like it, but this is not good.
Everyone says that I am my sister's younger brother.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I can't let you down, so I am asked to read and practice calligraphy and practice martial arts." " Li Weiyang smiled and pinched his fair face before saying: "Minzhi, although you are still young, there are some things that my sister hopes you know.
Life is your own.
You can live it how you like.
You don't need to be both civil and military.
You need to learn a lot to get rich, but my sister just wants to be a farmer, a fisherman, a woodcutter, whatever you choose.
If a person is bound by glory, wealth and other people's eyes for his whole life, will he feel happy?"
Minzhi said in surprise: "Really, I don't have to read books and practice calligraphy anymore, or practice archery and draw a bow."
Li Weiyang lowered her face and said: "That's not true.
You are a boy after all.
Do you want to become an illiterate and useless person?
My sister is just telling you that studying literature is to open up people's minds, and studying martial arts is to strengthen the body.
Body, I don’t ask you to strive for fame, nor do I ask you to grab any wealth, but I don’t ask you to be lazy just now.”
Minzhi scratched his head, and after a moment he said seriously like an adult: "Since my sister said so, I will definitely practice martial arts and calligraphy well."
Li Weiyang smiled and was about to say something when she suddenly heard Zhao Yue come in and report back: "Miss, Leng Lian is dead.
It is said that she broke the porcelain bowl she was serving and used the broken tip to pierce her own throat. , blood was left on the ground, and then he died. " Li Weiyang smiled: "What you said is true.
It must be Leng Lian himself and not a substitute."
Zhao Yue nodded: "Miss, if there is news that I am not sure about, how could I tell you about it?
I have confirmed it with someone, and it is Leng Lian himself."
Li Weiyang put Minzhi down, patted his head gently and said, "Minzhi, go find your mother.
Sister Zhao Yue and I have something to say."
After that, she pushed the dessert plate on the table to him.
Min Zhi happily clung to a piece of honey cake and ran out with her calves.
Li Weiyang looked at his background and was silent for a while before turning back and saying: "When did it happen?"
Leng Lian whispered: "Not long after the lady left."
Li Weiyang slowly muttered: "No, this is impossible.
Leng Lian will never commit suicide."
Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Zhao Yue was a little confused and said: "Why is the young lady so sure?
Her current situation is very dangerous.
Why can't people commit suicide when they are pushed to the extreme?"
Li Weiyang smiled: "Didn't you hear what Leng Lian said that night?
She was counting on becoming the empress of all people after the restoration of the country, so how could she commit suicide inexplicably?
If she said she was cheating, it wouldn't be wrong.
Maybe, after all, the Ministry of Punishment is going to conduct an autopsy.”
Zhao Yue thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was strange.
She went with Li Weiyang that day, and she still remembered the other person's implicit excitement.
She tentatively guessed: "Miss, could someone deliberately use this matter as a reason to frame Miss?"
Li Weiyang smiled softly: "What's the use of framing me?"
When she said this, a voice suddenly came from the door: "Guo Jia" Li Weiyang turned around and saw King Jing standing angrily at the door of the study.
The maid next to him tried to stop him but was pushed away by him.
He strode in and said angrily: "Jia'er, you Why did you kill Leng Lian?"
Li Weiyang's eyes turned cold: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing broke in without notice.
Do you think this is Prince Jing's Mansion?"
Seeing her acting like this, King Jing couldn't help but become more and more angry: "Why on earth did you do this?"
Li Weiyang did not explain, but was disgusted that he was so domineering: "Your Highness Prince Jing, what reasons do I have to explain to you?"
Prince Jing was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could step forward and wake up the person in front of him, but he was reluctant to do so.

He couldn't help but said: "You clearly know that I want to use Leng Lian to deal with the prince.
Even if you hate Leng Lian for betraying you, you shouldn't."
By forcing her to commit suicide at this moment, you are ruining my overall plan.
Why are you doing this?
Is it just to go against me?"
This person is simply unreasonable.
What does Leng Lian's death have to do with her?
Li Weiyang's expression slowly turned cold, staring at him and said: "If you say that I never forced Leng Lian to commit suicide, would you believe it?"
King Jing's breath was stagnant.
He stared at Li Weiyang for a long time without saying anything.
As early as the first time he met this cousin, his memory of Guo Jia was overturned.
In his imagination, his cousin should be as gentle, generous, kind and dignified as Mrs.
Guo, and also the future fiancée of his Prince Jing, but he never expected that the Guo Jia who came back would be completely different from what he thought.
Yes, she is still beautiful and delicate, but her heart is like a cold stone that cannot be warmed no matter how hard she covers it.
No matter how much he pleases or admires him, the other party remains indifferent.
He still remembers how shocked and angry he was when he first saw Li Weiyang and Xu Wang Yuanlie together.
He just wanted to know why Li Weiyang would choose Yuan Lie and abandon him.
At this time, he forced himself to calm down, looked into Li Weiyang's eyes and said: "Jia'er, I want to believe you.
But since yesterday, only you have entered secretly Tianlao has met Leng Lian, how can I trust you?"
Li Weiyang was not secretive, but asked: "If I really wanted to kill her, why would I wait until you catch her first?
I would already be able to do it, right?"
King Jing was stunned.
He had always been calm and self-possessed.
It could be said that his expression remained unchanged even when Mount Tai collapsed.
But at this moment, his expression changed drastically: "You mean you didn't destroy my plan."
Li Weiyang sneered: "I dare to ask, why should I destroy your plan and you deal with the prince?
Isn't it also my wish?
Even if I really want Leng Lian to die, why don't I just wait until she testifies against the prince?
I have to rush At this point, am I crazy?”
King Jing stared at her, and the suspicion in his heart flowed out involuntarily: "It's because you hate me, isn't it?
Although you have never admitted it, you have disliked me since the first time you saw me.
I really want to ask, Why" Li Weiyang silently stared at Jing Wang Yuanying.
Yes, why didn't she like Yuanying?
From the first time she saw this man, she had a faint feeling of disgust in her heart, although she carefully concealed it. , tried to treat him indifferently, but she still couldn't have the slightest affection for this person.
Now that the other party suddenly asked her about it, she was shocked to realize that Jing Wang Yuanying was somewhat similar to someone from back then.
Yes, they are all equally ambitious and cautious, fighting desperately for the dragon chair, trying desperately to hide their true predatory nature.
They are obviously wild beasts with fangs exposed, but they pretend to be like beasts.
She was as kind and gentle as a deer, and trampled all those she could take advantage of without mercy, which made it impossible for her to have a good impression of Jing Wang Yuanying.
But she didn't expect that the other party could detect this.
Li Weiyang had a slight smile on his lips, but there was a slight alienation between his eyebrows: "Prince Jing is worried too much.
In my heart, you are just a cousin.
There is no likes or dislikes at all." ” King Jing's voice was like ice in a cold cellar: "You lied, you hate me, so you have been trying every means to destroy my plan.
If not, why would you say such things to my mother and concubine?"
Li Weiyang's eyebrows jumped, she raised her eyes and looked at King Jing and said: "You have always had an eyeliner around Concubine Hui."
Red anger burned in his eyes bit by bit, and King Jing sneered: "That's not called eyeliner, it's just to protect the safety of the mother and concubine."

He spied on his biological mother, which he did as a matter of course and with a clear conscience, but he unknowingly exposed his ambition and ruthlessness.
Li Weiyang shook her head and said: "You have to doubt even your own biological mother.
Why do people like you let others help you and trust you?"
King Jing winked slightly, looked at her coldly, and after a long while he slowly said word by word: "I have already said it, it is just to protect the mother and concubine, don't be alarmist."
Li Weiyang smiled softly: "You said it so grandly, you are just worried that Concubine Hui will take care of your son for the benefit of the Guo family, aren't you?"
King Jing seemed to be filled with great anger all of a sudden.
In order to restrain himself from losing his temper on the spot, he anxiously turned around and walked two steps in the room.
Then he suddenly turned back and stared at Li Weiyang and said: "Yes, then what?
How she once gave up her lover for the family, and whether she will give up my biological son for the family at the critical moment, is unknown, I just took precautions. " A sarcastic sneer appeared on Li Weiyang's lips: "So, if even my biological mother doesn't believe it, what qualifications does a person like you have to ask me to like you and respect you?
It's a fantasy."
King Jing felt that the blood in his body began to scream angrily because of this sentence, rushing around in his meridians, as if it was about to rush out.
He swept away his long sleeves and smashed a vase on the table to the ground in anger.
The ground was red.
Complex thoughts were tangled in his heart, but Li Weiyang's tone was very calm: "Your Highness Prince Jing, you have been carefully hiding yourself, why are you exposed in front of me?"
There was a cold light like a sword hidden in the depths of King Jing's eyes: "Because I want you to know what I am really like."
Li Weiyang lowered his eyes and smiled: "Whether you are true or not, and whether you are sincere to me, I don't care."
King Jing sneered, but there was a hint of madness in his smile: "Why is Yuan Lie so much better than me that you don't even look at me for him?"
Li Weiyang looked at Jing Wang Yuanying, why was the person in front of her so persistent with herself?
From the beginning to the end, she never even gave him a smile.
She was always so alienated and indifferent.
Is it true that people are so mean?
The more things they can't get, the more they can't get it.
Do you want it more?
King Jing took a deep breath, slowly sorted out his mood, and still put on his usual smile: "I know how you treated Tuoba Yu in the past, but you have to know that I am completely different from him, I am not as cowardly as him , not as incompetent as him.
I only know that everything will be mine in the end, including the throne and you."
Li Weiyang looked into the eyes of the other party.
Jing Wang Yuanying had never stopped thinking about her.
He was just enduring and suppressing it.
On the day when it burst out, this burning flame would probably Burn everyone to ashes.
Thinking of this, Li Weiyang looked at each other expressionlessly.
There was a turbulent atmosphere between the two of them, which seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
At this time, he heard a loud laugh from outside: "The sun is so good outside today, you two If you don’t go out for a walk, what are you talking about here?”
Li Weiyang turned her head.
Director Guo was standing at the door, with the deep smile still on his face, but his brows had been lightly knitted, apparently having heard the conversation just now.
But his appearance broke the stiff atmosphere between Li Weiyang and Jing Wang Yuanying in time.
Director Guo tried his best to act as usual, smiling as if nothing had happened: "Yuanying, I was looking for you everywhere just now, but my grandmother disappeared when she was about to call you for a talk."
Yuan Ying did not smile, and his eyes became more gloomy.
His sharp gaze shot straight at Director Guo.
After all, a smile slowly appeared on King Jing's face, but his tone was colder than usual: "It's nothing, I just came to Jia'er to say a few words."
Director Guo smiled and said, "Okay, you don't need to explain anymore.
Grandma is still waiting for you.
Go quickly."
Hearing what Director Guo said, King Jing turned around and took a deep look at Li Weiyang.
Immediately, he responded with a humble smile as if he was wearing a mask, turned around and left.
Director Guo glanced at the other party's back, then turned to look at the broken vase on the ground.

His smile slowly sank: "Jia'er, what on earth is going on?"
Li Weiyang smiled and said calmly: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing thinks I killed Leng Lian."
Director Guo frowned: "How is this possible?
Is he crazy?
Why did you kill Leng Lian?"
Li Weiyang shook her head: "Maybe someone deliberately misled King Jing, hoping that he would think that I was against him, or maybe it was just a coincidence, who knows."
As she said this, there was something in her expression.
Very self-deprecating.
Director Guo became more and more confused.
He looked at Li Weiyang and said, "Are you saying that someone is deliberately trying to sow discord between the Duke of Qi and Prince Jing?"
Li Weiyang sighed, stood up and said: "Actually, as early as when I refused to marry, Prince Jing no longer trusted the Duke of Qi, didn't he?"
Director Guo looked troubled.
He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Jia'er, you just need to do things according to your own wishes.
You don't have to think about anything else."
A smile appeared on Li Weiyang's face: "As the daughter of the Duke of Qi, I should share the worries of my parents.
It's just that Prince Jing is really not worthy of being entrusted with him for life.
He is hidden so deeply that you are with him.
We have been together for so many years and have not been able to see through his true colors.
If he had not revealed the tip of the iceberg this time, I am afraid that all of us would have been hidden in our bones by him.
I don’t know when we would be stabbed in the back by this person, which would be really terrible.
It’s a joke.”
Director Guo's upturned eyes seemed to contain a hint of sharpness: "You're right.
I do feel that Yuanying is becoming more and more strange now.
He doesn't look like the good friend I used to know at all."
Li Weiyang still remembers the warm feeling she felt when she first met Yuan Ying and the Guo family.
Now such warmth no longer exists.
Yuanying used the Duke of Qi and Li Weiyang at all costs.
When he had no way to do this, he put everyone on the opposite side.
Li Weiyang thought for a while and then said: "Fifth brother, I want to let the prince go."
Hearing Li Weiyang say such words, Director Guo was completely shocked: "You said you let the prince go, do you know what you are talking about?"
Li Weiyang approached him: "Of course I know what I said.
If the prince falls now, who will benefit?"
From such a close distance, he could even see her slightly trembling eyelashes, which reflected the tranquility on her beautiful face.
Director Guo was startled and turned his head slightly: "Are you worried that King Jing will take advantage of this opportunity?"
Make a fuss about it” Li Weiyang sighed softly: "I didn't take this person seriously in the past, but now I think he is really a troublesome person, perhaps far more troublesome than the prince."
Director Guo hesitated and said: "If you let the prince go, what about Queen Pei?
Doesn't this give her a chance to stand up?"
The smile in Li Weiyang's eyes seemed to have increased: "Letting the prince go does not mean letting the queen go.
The two of them are not one.
Have you forgotten?"
When Director Guo heard this, he felt even more confused, but he did not refute Li Weiyang because he knew that every move of the other party was justified.
He just said worriedly: "I don't know what kind of things King Jing will do."
Li Weiyang turned to look at the blooming winter jasmine in the yard, and said lightly: "I don't know, I hope he can wake up in time."
For some reason, Director Guo's heart seemed to drop slightly the moment he heard her answer.
When Director Guo and Li Weiyang came to the hall, Princess Chen Liu was holding Prince Jing's hand and asked him with a smile: "Has the princess decided yet?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Prince Jing just smiled slightly and said, "Grandma asks this question every time.
If you are so anxious, why not just marry Jia'er to me."
Princess Chen Liu was stunned, then she looked at Li Weiyang, smiled and said: "Jia'er can't do it, she has been betrothed to His Highness Prince Xu, you should choose another one.
It's a pity that your aunt didn't give birth to another child.
Daughter, if the guide is also a girl, she must be extremely beautiful with delicate features, and I will decide to marry him to you."
When Director Guo heard this, he almost spit out the sip of tea he had just swallowed: "Grandma, if you like Yuanying, you can't make fun of me like this."
It was obvious that Princess Chen Liu was interrupting on purpose, and Director Guo's cooperation seemed to add to the humor, but Jiang stood aside and felt a little uneasy.
Although she was just a housewife, even she noticed an uneasy atmosphere flowing in the hall.
Everyone was smiling, but the smiles on their faces seemed to conceal uneasiness.
Jiang glanced at King Jing with some anxiety, feeling that the other person was different from usual.
He always seemed to be affectionate and had a warm smile, but under this warmth, a trace of murderous intent was glimpsed.
Mrs.
Guo looked at Li Weiyang, but she smiled and said: "Victory ahead, His Royal Highness Prince Xu should be returning to Beijing soon.
Our family's wedding should also be prepared early."
These words were clearly meant for Prince Jing. .
Yuan Ying had a smile on her face and raised her eyes slightly.
The meaning flashing through her eyes was incomprehensible, and she seemed not to be affected at all.
Mrs.
Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
She was worried that King Jing would be displeased on the spot, in which case she would really have to be a little more careful.
But Madam Guo was relieved, Princess Chen Liu obviously didn’t think so.
She had a deeper understanding of Prince Jing, and she just smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Xu will not return to Beijing so soon, why are you so anxious to worry about Jia'er?"
Don’t you feel bad about getting married so soon?”
Mrs.
Guo smiled gently: "As long as Jia'er is happy, I don't have anything to feel sorry for."
After saying that, she turned to Prince Jing and said, "Speaking of which, I do have a ready-made candidate for the princess to recommend to you."
King Jing's eyes flickered slightly, but in the end he just said slowly: "Which family is the lady that my aunt is talking about?"
Mrs.
Guo observed the words and said with a smile: "Don't you know the daughter of the Wang family, King Jing?"
Li Weiyang's heart sank slightly.
In recent times, Wang Zijin has been running around Guo Mansion very frequently.
Everyone knows that Wang Zijin has become good friends with Guo Jia, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi.
Because of this, Wang Zijin and Mrs.
Guo also had a lot of contacts.
Prince Jin has an easy-going temperament, beautiful appearance and noble birth.
When we first met him, he was still aloof and self-proclaimed, but now he is becoming more and more peaceful and approachable, making people like him immediately, so Mrs.
Guo recommended Wang Zijin to Prince Jing.
Li Weiyang subconsciously looked at Director Guo, only to see him lowering his head to drink tea, quietly thinking about his own thoughts, and didn't know what to think about this matter.
Li Weiyang sighed lightly, mother, mother, you are so careless, can't you see that Wang Zijin likes fifth brother?
King Jing was stunned at first, then put down the tea cup in his hand.
His voice was neither cold nor warm: "Miss Wang is indeed a lady from a famous family.
It's a pity that I have my own heart and am not suitable to marry her as a princess."
Hearing these words, Mrs.
Guo was stunned, with uneasiness flashing in the depths of her eyes: "In this case, I am the one who is meddling.
Your Majesty and your empress should always make the final decision on your Highness's marriage."

After she said this, There was something embarrassing on his face.
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Mother, you only have good intentions, but His Highness Prince Jing is too high-minded.
I don't know which girl will be so lucky to be my cousin in the future."
Li Weiyang threw a thousand pounds over her.
The ball was lost again.
King Jing's face sank slightly, and he thought to himself: Guo Jia, can't you really understand?
The reason why I rejected Wang Zijin was not because of you.
Do you really think that I will watch you marry Xu Wang Yuanlie?
But he just said these things The thoughts were suppressed in the bottom of my heart without any expression.
His face still looked calm, but the smile became deeper.
Mrs.
Guo sighed softly: "Miss Wang is a good girl.
It is a pity that His Highness Prince Jing can't even look down on her."
Director Guo said: "Mom, please stop being so eager to be a matchmaker for others.
It's still a matter of debate whether Miss Wang is happy or not."
Suddenly everyone raised their heads and looked at Director Guo with strange expressions.
Director Guo was stunned: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Mrs.
Guo narrowed her eyes and said with a half-smile: "It seems that Miss Wang often drinks tea and talks with you.
Could it be said that you don't like her too?"
Director Guo didn't wait for Mrs.
Guo to finish what she said, and stood up immediately, waving his hands and saying: "Please forgive me, mother, how can I have a good life when Miss Wang marries Miss Jingui?
No, no, I'd rather die than die."
He said, as if he was afraid that Mrs.
Guo would force someone to him, and quickly turned around and left.
Mrs.
Guo was stunned, turned to Princess Chen Liu and said, "What's wrong with this child?"
Li Weiyang shook her head.
Fortunately, Wang Zijin was not here today.
King Jing did not want her, and Director Guo avoided her like a snake.
According to the nature of the other party, he would be angry to death.
Mrs.
Guo said regretfully: "Miss Wang is a good girl, and I really want her to be my daughter-in-law."
Li Weiyang smiled: "If there is a fate, there will be this opportunity in the future.
If there is no fate, mother, you don't have to force it."
Mrs.
Guo nodded, but heard King Jing sigh and smile: "Jia'er is right, if people are destined to come together in the future, no matter how you resist, the ending will be the same."
Li Weiyang stared at King Jing.
His words seemed to mean something, but King Jing just looked at her calmly, with a graceful attitude.
After all, Li Weiyang just smiled lightly and said: "Grandma, mother, I want to go back to study.
I'm here with Young Master Jing."
As she said that, she stood up and turned to leave.
In the spring of the 32nd year of Emperor Xiaoming of Western Vietnam, a long white star suddenly appeared in the northwest sky.
It dragged its long tail slowly across the sky like a comet.
It was daytime at that time, and everyone saw this star.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The scene was clearly visible, and this abnormal omen filled the hearts of everyone, including the civil and military officials and ordinary civilians in the DPRK and China, with fear.
Vietnam had just escaped from natural disasters, and then encountered another one.
Although the successive wars achieved short-term victory, no one knew what would happen next.
Just when everyone thought everything would be fine, they suddenly encountered an unusual celestial phenomenon, and the whole country fell into an atmosphere of uneasiness.
The emperor urgently summoned Qin Tianjian and all civil and military ministers to discuss the matter together.
The King of Qintian Prison said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude.
However, since I am in Qintian Prison, I should remind Your Majesty.
There are visions in the sky, which means that Your Majesty has done something wrong."
The emperor's face was ugly.
The understanding of abnormal celestial phenomena in the past dynasties was that the emperor was immoral.
Even if he wanted to chop off this guy's head, he could not refute this.
The emperor said coldly: "According to your Majesty's wish, do you want me to issue an edict to sin against myself?"
Master Wang lowered his head and said: "Wei Chen doesn't dare, Wei Chen just said..."
Huang cut off angrily: "Okay, you don't know anything at all, and you still talk about observing the sky.
You simply don't know what you mean."
Mr.
Wang lowered his head deeply, and he became more and more frightened.
In fact, whenever they encountered this kind of strange celestial phenomenon in the past, everyone would explain it like this: It's not that the emperor had any bad ethics, why did God give a warning?
But he didn't dare to say these words in front of the emperor.
It would be faster to let him punish himself by wiping his neck and apologising.
I'm afraid now the emperor will feel that it was someone else who made a mistake, and God will be angry with the monarch.
Sure enough, I heard the emperor say in a cold tone: "Do you have any other opinions?
Do you all think that this matter is my fault?"
The courtiers said one after another: "Your Majesty and the Queen are as blessed as mountains and seas, and have profound virtues, so the wars will be successful one after another.
This is God's intention to save the millions of people in our dynasty.
How can your Majesty have any bad morals?
There is definitely not one."
The emperor sneered and said: "Oh, so you don't think I am unethical?"
At this time, Ying Chu suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I observed the sky at night and found something strange.
However, your Majesty's civil and military skills are both talented and moral, and the whole country respects him.
Therefore, God's warning must have nothing to do with your Majesty's virtue. ” The emperor's dark eyes stared at him coldly and said: "It has nothing to do with me, then who does it have to do with me?"
Ying Chu said loudly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince.
His Highness was imprisoned by His Majesty before because of his misconduct, but now it seems that God is clearly warning His Majesty and everyone.
Your Highness is definitely innocent.
If it were not the case, it would not be the case.
There will be such strange celestial phenomena.”
The emperor's eyes suddenly showed a hint of subtle ridicule.
He glanced at Empress Pei, who looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, looking unconcerned.
The emperor couldn't help but sneer: "So, you think I made a mistake?"
Ying Chu's eyebrows remained unchanged: "I don't dare to comment on His Majesty's decision, but His Royal Highness is indeed unjust.
God has given you a warning.
If Your Majesty still persists in going his own way, I am afraid that thousands of people will be affected."
The emperor's smile became colder and colder: "It's ridiculous that these two things are completely unrelated.
How can they be brought together?
It's clear that the prince is immoral and the evidence is solid, but I can't deal with him.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
According to what you said, I should release the prince immediately."
Ying Chu raised his head and stared at the emperor.
His eyes were bloodshot.
According to the rules in the palace, it was against the law of a minister to look directly at the emperor like this, which seemed extremely bold.
The emperor was slightly surprised when he heard Ying Chu's calm and firm tone: "The warning is by no means alarmist.
Please don't forget that the emperor in the previous dynasty wrongly killed loyal ministers and caused the snow to fall in June.
Please forgive me.
I boldly say that locking up the prince is not a long-term solution."
The emperor said calmly: "Then according to your opinion, how should we deal with it?"
Ying Chu said: "You deserve to be punished and make meritorious service."
The emperor rubbed his brows and said with a smile: "Now that he is imprisoned by me, how can he make meritorious deeds?"
At this time, Pei Cai sighed softly: "Even if the prince himself does not know how to cultivate his moral character, he is like this, but Master Ying is right.
There is no reason for the visions in the sky.
Your Majesty, you If you rule the world with virtue and can forgive all people, why can't you forgive your own son?
The prince did make a mistake, but your majesty should also give him a chance to change his ways and make meritorious deeds. " The emperor smiled and looked at Queen Pei: "Then according to what the queen said, how can I give you a chance?"
Queen Pei's eyes slowly became silent, and she smiled: "Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to let the prince go to the front line and make military exploits as soon as possible to wash away the mistakes he has made."
The emperor's fingers tapped the dragon case gently, and he also cast his eyes on the courtiers standing below, and smiled slightly: "What do you think of what the queen said?"
Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads: "The queen said Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince may have been wronged, otherwise I would God will not warn His Majesty.
""Since Your Majesty cannot make a decision immediately, you might as well give the prince a chance and let him go to the front line to perform his duties.
If he can come back victorious, it means that he is the prince chosen by God.
The warning is sheer nonsense.”
When the emperor heard this, he knew that everything had been arranged by Empress Pei in advance.
She cleverly used the changes in celestial phenomena to put pressure on the emperor.
Knowing that it was impossible to let the prince go at this moment, she used a compromise method to let him go to the battlefield.
When the time comes, if the prince makes great contributions and returns victorious, he will not be too harsh as an emperor.
Empress Pei finally came up with a roundabout way to allow the emperor to step down and keep the prince at the same time.
The emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at Empress Pei carefully for a while, and finally said: "Since the queen has made a decision for me, let's do it this way.
I hope the prince can come back victorious."
The queen glanced at the emperor and said with a smile: "Then where will the prince be sent according to your majesty's instructions?"
The emperor said coldly: "The war in the east requires people, so let the prince go and help the Duke of Qi."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "Today's discussion ends here, retreat from the court."
Watching the emperor go away, Queen Pei's eyes slowly calmed down.
She stood up and turned to leave.
The courtiers looked at each other in confusion.
In the Queen's Palace, the prince was lying on the ground crying and crying.
Queen Pei became more and more impatient and said: "Okay, who are you showing such a face to?"
The prince was stunned, looked at the queen and begged: "Mother, I don't want to go to the battlefield."
The Queen looked at the other party with a mocking expression: "If you don't want to go to the battlefield, then how do you want to die?"
Cold sweat rolled down the prince's forehead, and he lowered his head and prostrated at the queen's feet: "My son is willing to serve his mother in Dadu."
Empress Pei finally smiled.
She looked at the handsome and extraordinary son at her feet.
This was the child she had raised and raised.
Although he was a little less scheming, he was still not a weak and incompetent person.
But today, he saw that he was even Even though he was scared to go to the battlefield, Empress Pei felt sincerely funny for the first time.
She said calmly: "This is the only way to save you.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If you refuse to go, you will have to sit in Sleepy City until someone else cuts off your head with a steel knife."
The prince was shocked.
He looked at his mother and was almost speechless.
Empress Pei said lightly: "It's just that you have no knowledge.
Why don't you even have the courage of an ordinary person?
It took a lot of effort to rescue you this time.
Please think carefully about what to do."
After that, she stood up. , seemed to be walking towards the inner palace, the prince quickly walked up on his knees, grabbed the hem of Queen Pei's skirt and said: "Mother, I am not afraid of death, I am just worried that I will go to a high mountain and a long road, and I am afraid I will never come back. ” Empress Pei suddenly turned her head, stared at the other person and said, "What do you mean by this?"
The prince calmed down and said: "The battlefield to the east is all the people of Duke Qi.
The generals have status, background, and actual combat experience.
They have already controlled the entire army.
This time, the father is only willing to send 50,000 to his subjects."
People, but the other side has an army of 300,000.
Queen Mother, wouldn’t the Duke of Qi take this opportunity to get rid of his son?"
After all, she was still afraid of death.
Queen Pei suddenly laughed.
She looked at the prince and finally couldn't help but said: "I thought you were a tiger.
Although you are still young, you will eventually become the king of beasts, but now I realize that you are a tiger."
You are nothing but a cow."
The prince looked at Queen Pei, wondering what he meant.
Queen Pei said sarcastically: "No matter how strong the cow is, it is just a livestock raised by people.
It can only be used by others throughout its life, and it will not be able to do anything for itself until it dies."
Owner."
The prince looked at Queen Pei and was completely stunned.
He had lived under Queen Pei's wings for so many years.
Even though he was talented, talented and talented, he could not find a place for practical experience.
He lived in the Pei family and was in charge of the government.
The environment made it impossible for him to go out and face the wind and rain outside, and his worries were not unreasonable.
After all, Duke Guo of Qi is Prince Jing's biological uncle.
He will most likely turn back and make it impossible for him, the crown prince, to return to Dadu.
And the father's so-called meritorious deeds are even more nonsense.
He always had a deep suspicion that his father just wanted to transfer him out to take the opportunity to get rid of him.
When the time comes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away.
He can't reach Empress Pei, and there is no way to resist the 300,000-strong army of the Duke of Qi with only 50,000 people.
The other party can get rid of him as the prince with any excuse.
Why can't he be nervous?
Don't blame him.
He is incompetent, he just feels very uneasy about his life.
But Queen Pei's mocking look instantly stimulated the revival of his proud imperial bloodline.
After all, he is the prince.
Although he has been trying his best to suppress himself for so many years, he still has that pride in his personality.
He suddenly stood up from the ground, looked at Queen Pei and said, "Queen Mother, I am not a cow, I am a tiger."
Empress Pei looked into the other person's eyes and said word by word: "Since you are a fierce tiger, how can you be trapped in this place?
Since Queen Mother has made arrangements for you to go to the battlefield, she will definitely let you come back safely, but the prerequisite is that you must believe me.
Understand.

Is it done?”
The prince looked at the other party, with a hint of sadness mixed with anger in his eyes.
Empress Pei glanced at him and gently put her hand on his shoulder.
The prince looked at his mother.
Sometimes he couldn't tell which was real and which was false.
Empress Pei's expression was always so calm, and her thoughts were as unfathomable as the sea.
No matter what he did, he could not win the other person's favor.
He thought that this would be the case for the rest of his life, but now Empress Pei suddenly treated him like this Gentle, like an ordinary mother who treats him with kindness, trying desperately to inspire his courage.
He suddenly discovered that Queen Pei had fallen into an uncontrollable aging process recently.
Her beautiful face was slowly sunken and seemed to be gradually stained with signs of aging, although her thinking was still sharp.
She is meticulous and decisive when giving orders, but her body is obviously unable to withstand the long-term workload of government affairs.
The prince said slowly: "Mother, my sons and ministers will definitely come back safely."
Empress Pei didn't say much, just smiled and said, "Step back."
The prince bowed gently and retreated.
When he came out, he happened to bump into Ying Chu.
Ying Chu looked at the prince and bowed his head in salute.
The prince smiled self-deprecatingly: "Now you are the only one left by my mother's side.
You must take good care of her."
Ying Chu raised his head and looked at the prince, seemingly stunned for a moment.
The prince said calmly: "In the past, the grudges between you and me were just to compete for favor, but once I am no longer with my mother, the only person who can protect her is you."
Ying Chu looked at the prince with some surprise.
In his heart, the prince was a very useless and incompetent person, and because of his suspicious nature, he refused to believe his biological mother.
He fell into Li Weiyang's trap so easily, but now It seems that he actually misjudged the prince, or he underestimated this person too much.
The prince was not as stupid as he thought.
Maybe the other party knew some things.
Then why is he still so depressed?
Seeing the puzzled look on Ying Chu's face, the prince smiled and said: "Many times people know what to do, but there is a deep fear in our hearts.
If we cannot overcome this fear, we will only become a loser.
I am one Such a loser, I clearly knew that Leng Lian had ulterior motives, but for that little tenderness, I still kept her by my side, even doting on her in every possible way, obviously I knew that no matter what I did, I couldn't make my mother happy, but I still tried my best, hoping that I could rely on my own strength to retain her eyes.
I knew clearly that my father already had a candidate to inherit the throne, but I still couldn't give in.
I clung to the crown prince's throne and refused to let go.
I knew clearly that someone was behind everything and wanted to add fuel to the flames, but I still couldn't help but believe it."
After speaking, he turned his head, looked at Ying Chu and smiled: "Do you think I am particularly stupid because I would believe a stupid rumor and refuse to believe that she is my biological mother?"
This is what Ying Chu has always been confused about.
The prince cannot be regarded as a stupid person, but why would he believe such rumors so easily?
The prince sighed and said: "I just don't want to believe that my biological mother will treat me like this, so I always thought that maybe she has no direct blood relationship with me, and told myself that this is the reason why she is as cold as ice, but now I suddenly understand " Ying Chu looked at the other party with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but heard the prince continue: "Maybe the mother is a person who doesn't know how to love, and she doesn't know how to love her children, but this time she has already He tried his best to protect me and wanted me to stay away from this battlefield, although he paused and said, "It's already too late."
Ying Chu had never seen such a prince before.
It seemed that after losing the aura of the prince, he looked particularly serious and lonely.
Ying Chu smiled faintly and said: "Your Highness, although it is dangerous to go here, but with the careful arrangements made by the empress, you will return safely."
The prince smiled softly: "I know where I am going, but Master Ying, do you know your destiny?"
It was rare for Ying Chu to hear the prince say sober words, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Your Highness, who in this world can know what the future holds?
Even though I can calculate other people's fates, my own is completely blank."
The prince suddenly laughed loudly: "Yes, Mr.
Ying also knows nothing about his future, let alone an ordinary person like me.
I hope you can stay with your mother in the future, so that she can always be happy and not be too lonely. ."

After saying that, the prince turned and left.
Ying Chu subconsciously took two steps and said loudly: "Your Highness" The prince turned around, his handsome face under the sun showed a trace of vicissitudes and sadness, "Ying Chu, I know what you are asking for, but not everyone in this world can get what they want.
I asked for twenty After many years, I have not received the attention of my mother.
How can you be better than me?
So I advise you to take care of yourself."
After saying that, the prince turned and left.
Ying Chu was left standing quietly under the sunset for a long time.
Maybe he and the prince had been fighting openly and secretly for so long.
Today he got to know each other for the first time.
A person can hide so many complex emotions in his heart.
He knows everything but still wants to Pretending to be ignorant and holding on to some unrealistic dreams, maybe the prince was a pathetic person like him.
Ying Chu thought for a while and finally laughed.
However, when he turned around and opened the door to enter the Queen's Palace, his face had regained a calm expression.
There may be people in this world who give up, but he is definitely not such a person.
Even if he reaches the edge of the Yellow River, he will never look back:
