Ying Niang ate the peach meat carefully and swallowed it with some difficulty. She actually discovered when she was at Lantian Villa that Jiang Sanlang almost complied with some of her ordinary requests. When she got here, it was the same. They locked her up but did not physically abuse her.
Instead, in order to prevent her from pursuing short-term ideas, all the sharp corners of the Zhuli Pavilion were wrapped with a layer of soft cloth, and guards were posted at all levels to prevent her from escaping. There were more people guarding here than in the Zhuli Pavilion, and the surroundings were far away. Convenient water and fire sources for escape.
Ying Niang reached out and took another piece to eat. She must be very important to them... a hostage? Ying Niang could only think of this possibility, and then she was slightly confused, who was she before?
Ye Yiru was so angry at being ignored by Princess Youzhou that she reluctantly left under the eyes of her son.
After Wei Erlang left Hengwuyuan, he immediately went to his father to apologize.
After all, he took his mother to Hengwuyuan and broke his father's rules.
After arriving at the lobby, he saw Han Fu, Luoyang Ling and his sons, Jiang Sanlang, Jiang Xiaowei, Shi Zhi and Master Cunzhen from a distance. Wei Erlang put down his steps and prepared to wait for his father to finish talking about business before going in.
After Wei Yanshan listened to how everyone met Princess Youzhou, he looked at Luoyang Ling: "Is there another family who was also looking for the Yu family some time ago?"
"Yes, it's the Tang family. Tang Wulang claimed that Princess Youzhou was his good friend. It was the Yu family who first brought Princess Youzhou into Luoyang. Outside Luoyang City, Tang Wu once offered porridge to Princess Youzhou. What happened next You also know that she was brought to Master Cunzhen by the Yu family."
"This is the confession of the Yu family. I promise that they dare not hide anything. Yu Dalang is now in the Tang family. You can send people to the Tang family to arrest Tang Wu and Yu Dalang. The matter will become clearer." Luoyang ordered.
Wei Yanshan glanced at Luoyang Ling, who looked dignified on the surface, and said to Shi Zhi: "There is no need to arrest Tang Bingbai for the time being."
"Yes." Shi Zhi said and left the meeting hall.
After almost understanding, Wei Yanshan asked these people to leave.
Wei Erlang just stepped forward. Before he could speak, Wei Yanshan said slowly: "Your mother-in-law just made a mistake, so you came to apologize. Mercy, I don't want it to happen again."
Wei Cixin looked at her father, broke out in a cold sweat, lowered her head and said, "Yes." He added, "Liu Hui, who caused the fall of Xuzhou, has been detained by me in Dutingyi. Father, I want to capture him and behead him to show to the public." To soothe the military’s morale?”
Wei Yanshan threw Duan Shoucheng's secret letter on the table: "The royalist faction is headed by Prime Minister Ji Yan and military general Song Deyu. This time they withdraw troops from Xuzhou. These two famous royalists opposed it. Those who supported the decision of the emperor were recent ones." A few new royalists have suddenly appeared in the past few months."
"Those new royalists are wearing the guise of being loyal and patriotic, but inside they are committing traitorous acts. Don't rush to execute Liu Hui now. Let him be jailed and tortured to see if he can find out anything."
"What about the new royalists in the court?" Wei Ci thought to herself.
"There are treacherous ministers in the court who are causing trouble. Of course they have to side with the Qing emperor for the sake of the Holy Spirit." Wei Yanshan said. Seeing that Wei Ci was still worried, he asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Princess Youzhou's dragon jade, I think it's better to leave it with us." Wei Ci thought about the words: "She is a woman who suffers from soul-leaving syndrome. She has no idea how precious the dragon jade is. If she is not careful, Collapsing or losing the dragon jade is a great loss to the world."
Under the black gauze hair, Wei Yanshan's handsome and elegant face showed a gentle smile, but what he said made Wei Cixin feel ashamed to see anyone.
"You want to steal a woman's jewelry?"
"I, father..." Wei Cixin was rarely incoherent: "The main reason is that piece of dragon jade... I" He spoke for a long time, and finally confessed: "That piece of dragon jade and the jade seal have the same origin, why don't we keep it as our own."
Wei Yanshan was also shocked by the piece of dragon jade at first, but he was shocked by Zhou Youzhou's courage.
Half of the mountains and rivers were carved into a woman's name, which was enough to show the weight of this woman in Zhou Xu's heart. As for snatching a woman's jade ornaments, Wei Yanshan had never thought about it.
"Okay, you go down." Wei Yanshan said.
The door was closed and Wei Yanshan looked away. His right arm ached slightly. It was not only the arrow wound he suffered in Lujiang River, but also a very deep incision on his wrist that was cut by a sharp blade. The wound had been stitched, but the pain was still there. still.
After Wei Yanshan relieved the pain, he continued to deal with official duties.
It will take time for Youzhou to digest so much Jiangdong territory in one go. It is impossible to attack Luoyang in the near future, and his temporary defeat is nothing. He can just attack again when he finds an opportunity.
In the evening, Wei Yanshan went to Hengwu Garden.
Luoyang Palace was the office, rest and residence of the imperial dynasty. No matter whether it was the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent to build it. The emperor was in Chang'an, and the princes were also in Chang'an, so it was natural for him to live in Luoyang Palace.
Enter Hengwuyuan.
Wei Yanshan learned that Princess Youzhou had been basking in the sun at the window in the morning, and for a long time in the afternoon. She also ate some cakes and fruits, and went to sleep in the inner room in the evening.
Wei Yanshan was a little surprised when he heard the servant's report.
He walked into the window and looked out. He found that Princess Youzhou was very elegant and ordered someone to get some tea-making utensils.
Not long after, Princess Youzhou walked out of the inner room.
As soon as Ying Niang woke up, she heard the movement outside. When she came out, she could smell the fragrance of tea filling the room.
Wei Yanshan sat on the bamboo futon and watched Princess Youzhou being led by the maid to sit across from the tea table.
Princess Youzhou's eyes have been looked at by someone, and she can only be treated slowly. There is no other way. However, Wei Yanshan guessed that she could still see a little and was not completely blind. Otherwise, how would she have escaped from the Zhuli Pavilion.
Wei Yanshan poured her a cup of tea. He came to her not on a whim, but because he had something to do. However, this woman suffers from soul-leaving syndrome and cannot remember many things, which is not a good thing for him.
"I wonder if Mrs. Xiao still remembers God's Punishment?"
Opposite you, Princess Youzhou's face was flushed from sleep, but her expression was as cold as frost and snow. She looked at him through the tea mist and didn't move for a long time, as if she didn't hear what he was asking.
Wei Yanshan put down the tea cup and observed carefully, he found that her pupils and lips were abnormally red.
After a while, someone called the female doctor over.
The sudden high fever disrupted Wei Yanshan's plan to ask for divine punishment.
Chapter 295
"do you died?"
"Are you sure you're really dead?"
In the Tang Mansion in the Prince of Luoyang, Qi Nanhua stood up immediately when he saw Xie Wanjun and asked anxiously. He had determined that it was Wei Yanshan who went to Lantian Villa last night, and he thought of a murder plan overnight.
Xie Wanjun nodded: "He is dead. The Luoyang guards had already discovered Liu Hui's body when they went to Dutingyi. They took the body back with them, along with the imperial troops who beheaded Liu Hui."
"Death, it's better to die." Qi Nanhua breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Wanjun looked at Qi Nanhua. Qi Nannan asked the Tang family to find a few eloquent and trustworthy slaves at dawn today, and then asked them to disguise themselves and go near Dutingyi to incite the surrounding Luoyang people to insult Liu Hui and mourn the dead soldiers. , including many students from Luoshan College.
In order to cover up his murderous plan, Qi Nanhua also brought Dr. Lu in. Dr. Lu was cynical, and the students he taught hated the traitors and others.
These passionate students said directly outside the post that it would be difficult to quell the public anger in the world until Liu Hui died! It is difficult to caress the souls of the dead in the rivers!
Eunuchs have never been popular with anyone. When they are in power, they are reviled by everyone in the world, and when they are out of power, it is even worse.
Regarding the lack of trust in the imperial court and the unauthorized withdrawal of troops, which led to the fall of Xuzhou, Luoyang indirectly faced the threat from Jiangdong. The scholars and storytellers in Luoyang had already begun to criticize Liu Hui with words and writings when he fled back to Luoyang. Liu Hui first arrived at Duting Station in Luoyang City. A lot of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown away along the way, and people are still angry to this day.
What was even more angry than the people of Luoyang was the Imperial Guards brought out from Chang'an. These Imperial Guards were all noble sons of the Imperial Court. They originally represented the attitude of the Imperial Court. They wanted to fight against the rebels on behalf of the Holy One. Now because of Liu Hui , their comrade died, even though they knew it was the Holy Spirit's will, they did not dare to blame the Holy Spirit, they could only blame Liu Hui.
How could the Holy One be wrong? The only ones who were wrong were the villains and traitors around him. They blinded the Holy One's eyes and isolated the inside and outside.
Drinking all day long and harboring resentment, the angry words outside the station kept irritating the Forbidden Army. Blinded by their anger, they dragged Liu Hui into the lobby and beat him to death. In full view of the public, the people roared with applause, and the scene was once overturned. It wasn't until the arrival of the Luoyang Guards that they stopped it, and the Tang family's slaves had already left.
Qi Nanhua learned the details and sat back in his chair. After sitting quietly for a while, he returned to the clean civil servant he used to be.
"It's really dangerous." Qi Nanhua sighed.
Once Wei Guogong finds a clue from Liu Hui's mouth, his life will be in danger.
Xie Wanjun also sat down. In the afternoon, the Luoyang order led a group of soldiers to knock on the door of the Tang mansion. They went in to search without any explanation. The Tang family was naturally very angry. The Luoyang order only said that they were conducting the search on the order of Wei Guogong who stayed in the east capital. Yes, the Tang family could only swallow this breath.
Yu Dalang was taken away for no apparent reason. At that time, everyone was shocked. The ill-intentioned look in Luoyang Ling's eyes when he left made Xie Wanjun realize that he still resented the fact that his son was forced to plead guilty.
He will come back with revenge.
"What should we do now?" Qi Nanhua asked Xie Wanjun in a low voice.
"Don't act rashly for the time being, and don't do unnecessary things." Xie Wanjun said: "Liu Hui's incident happened once and it was an accident. If it happens again, it will easily arouse people's suspicion."
"I know, only Liu Hui knows something about me, others don't know, I will be safer if Liu Hui dies." Qi Nanhua thought of the Luoyang order that broke the door today, frowned and said: "But that Luoyang order is not a good one. He is a complete villain. Folk rumors say that he is the murderer who caused the Jianghuai River to burst its banks. I think he is very close to him. Otherwise, how could he have jumped from the prime minister of a remote small county to the order of Luoyang."
Qi Nanhua really felt that it would not be a pity for someone like Luoyang Ling to die a hundred times.
"It's because he is a villain. If we can't hit his target right away, we will only cause endless troubles." Xie Wanjun said, "We can't pay more attention to the princess, otherwise it will attract the attention of Duke Wei."
Qi Nanhua nodded. He was really frightened at the moment. His plan was a little slow and he might be caught by Wei Guogong soon.
"I have told Wu Lang about Ying Niang's true identity." Now he, the Xie family, and the Tang family are connected together.
Xie Wanjun said: "Bingbai won't talk nonsense, don't worry." After a while, he remembered something and asked his servants to ask Wu Lang to come to him.
Tang Wu came quickly, and before he could speak, Xie Wanjun asked: "That prodigal Xue Si, send someone to look for him quietly. I suspect he may be from Zhou Youzhou. Even if not, he must know Princess Youzhou." .”
"If you can find someone, bring him back secretly."
Tang Wu suddenly realized it, and then regretted: "I wouldn't have reported it to the official if I had known."
"No one knows the details of Xue Si except us." Xie Wanjun reminded: "Take people to find him yourself, be careful not to make any noise."
"I understand." Tang Wudao.
Luoyang Palace.
Wei Yanshan saw the document report that Liu Hui was killed by the Imperial Army. Now all the Imperial Army were sober, and the person who did it after waking up admitted that he had killed the supervisor.
Han Fu said: "They are too impulsive. They will kill the supervisors at will. Some of the forbidden troops threatened to vent your anger. There were so many Luoshan students outside watching at that time, and those forbidden troops simply spoke freely."
Just as he was about to continue the investigation, Liu Hui died. Wei Yanshan put down the report: "I have sent a letter to Duan Shoucheng, asking him to find the center of the new royalist party. By then, he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go."
"I hope there will be a result as soon as possible." Han Fu said: "What should we do with these forbidden troops?"
"Kill the supervisor of the army and await punishment. He will be taken to Chang'an immediately." Wei Yanshan said.
After Han Fu left, Wei Yanshan read the documents for a while.
Mrs. Ye stood at the door of the study with the tonic soup and ointment and gauze: "My lord, the night is already dark, I have made some medicinal food for you, please use some."
Wei Yanshan used medicated food, while Mrs. Ye changed the medicine for the Duke's wound. She untied the gauze, and when she saw the wound, she still felt distressed. She couldn't help complaining: "My Lord, how easy it is for you to treat Princess Youzhou so well. She will Your injuries are so serious, and according to my words, it would be better if you don’t put her in jail. I asked the doctor to get the ointment you need, but I couldn’t find anyone. Everyone is in Hengwuyuan.”
Her tone was aggrieved and resentful. Wei Yanshan looked at Ye's uncontrollable sourness and jealousy and said, "What are you afraid of?"
Ye's cloth-wrapped hand trembled, and he raised his head in panic. After being exposed by the Duke, his face turned pale.
Wei Yanshan couldn't wait for an answer, so he answered for her: "You are afraid of her."
"A blind man, what's there to be afraid of?" Ye retorted fiercely. When she realized that the Duke had not named the person, she forced a smile. When she walked out of the study, Ye Yiru waved away a large group of maids following behind her and walked away. Faster, she really doesn't want to admit that she is afraid, yes, what is she afraid of, Princess Youzhou is just a blind man, and she is the mistress of the enemy army, and as for her, the princess's son is dead, and her son is the only heir. , when the princess dies, she will be the Duke’s only wife, so she has nothing to be afraid of.
But that person who was so beautiful in life was the beautiful lady who was personally conferred by the Holy Emperor, and the mistress of Youzhou who made a lot of noise. Ye family was jealous and crazy, and the Duke of the country was against her.
Designate a courtyard, summon female doctors, and ask questions every day.
Mrs. Ye has never seen the Duke of Guo pay such attention to a woman. She has admired the Duke since she was a child, even though he has always treated her no differently from other people. By trying to please her deceased parents-in-law, she wanted to marry the Duke, but... Princess Huayin interfered with her and turned it into her wedding to the Duke. Princess Huayin robbed her of her marriage and turned her children into concubines. Although the Duke had never favored anyone, Ye How can you be so willing?
Her Cixin was originally her legitimate son, and her daughter Rouxin was originally her legitimate daughter. Those were originally theirs.
What's annoying is that he also treats the princess with proper etiquette. Even though Princess Huayin is now suffering from hysteria, she has never been short of living expenses. He treats her well and her daily life is comparable to that of the royal family. However, these things are all inferior. What people do is just what the Duke orders them to do.
Instead of asking about everything about Princess Youzhou.
