Cheng Ning's lips turned white inch by inch.
She suddenly felt ridiculous, laughing at Wei Yanzhou and herself.
So Wei Yanzhou told her that he found out these things first, not to provide convenience to the people, but to use them as they should, right?
She didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was as if he had never met Wei Yanzhou before.
At this moment, it is even more difficult to distinguish between Wei Yanzhou and Li Lianbei, which one of these two people is more hateful.
Cheng Ning shouldn't have come.
Just like Wei Yanzhou said, even if she knew the truth, she could only sit on the sidelines and watch.
She couldn't intervene, couldn't save people, and couldn't change Wei Yanzhou's mind.
From the moment she was restrained in the palace to this moment, Cheng Ning had never felt so angry.
Wang Xi came in with the hot soup. Before he could put it down, he heard a loud crash!
Cheng Ning actually overturned the nanmu table alive!
Dishes spilled all over the floor, some even splattered on the hem of her skirt.
"Empress!" Even Chunhua was frightened.
Wei Yanzhou had no special reaction, and the half-smile on his lips did not change.
He looked up at Cheng Ning: "Are you finally angry?"
"You——" Cheng Ning made a hoarse and unpleasant voice, and the fingers pointing at Wei Yanzhou were trembling.
Wei Yanzhou finished the scolding for her: "I am a tyrant, and I am not worthy of being an emperor."
Going back and forth, Cheng Ning was scolding these two sentences.
Wang Xi came to his senses and kneeled down hurriedly with all the people in the palace: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"It's not me who needs to be angry, it's you, Concubine Xi," Wei Yanzhou said coldly: "Since Concubine Xi feels that life is too easy, you should send her back to Linhua Palace. Watch carefully. We will come out at the palace banquet tomorrow."
The implication is that she will not be allowed to have any possibility of intervening in the smuggling case.
Cheng Ning clapped her hands on the table and said emotionally: "No...can't!"
She had to cough every time she said a word, and her throat was extremely uncomfortable.
And the voice was barely identifiable as hers.
If her throat continues to deteriorate, it may not get better no matter how long it takes.
Wei Yanzhou's face became even more serious: "I'm not going yet!"
There was no room for Cheng Ning to leave on her own, so the guards escorted her back.
Wang Xi was afraid of hurting Cheng Ning, so he followed him there again.
When he came back, he saw Wei Yanzhou sipping Cheng Ning's soup.
It still doesn't taste good, and this cooking skill may not improve even if it takes another ten years.
Seeing Wang Xi come in, he glanced sideways and said, "Are you done with it?"
"My queen has always been calm, but she was probably very angry just now, so she lost her temper in front of His Majesty."
The floor had been cleaned up by the palace staff and polished to a shiny finish.
Wang Xi persuaded: "Your Majesty is obviously not a ruthless person. Regarding the fireworks, he has already arranged for the evacuation of people. Why bother to say no to the empress?"
Cheng Ning was angry as they expected, but this time he was obviously furious.
Otherwise, you won't be able to overturn the table.
There is already a deep gap between the two of them, and now they are going to label themselves as cruel, which is a bit cruel.
Wei Yanzhou put down the spoon, but he was not as angry as he imagined: "With a dog's temper, if he was still in the army, he would have drawn his sword long ago."
The agarwood table was extremely heavy, and her wrist was injured, so she dared to lift it at will.
But it had been a long time since he had seen Cheng Ning look like this, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Your Majesty has always been nervous about the people. It's not like your Majesty doesn't know, so why did they start a quarrel?" Wang Xi said sincerely.
Even if you call yourself cold-hearted and desolate, you won't feel comfortable in the end, so why bother?
"She used to be far away in the northwest. She was not involved in party strife. She had military honors, was loud-mouthed, and gave in to everyone. She didn't know how cruel the disputes in the previous dynasty were, and she wouldn't understand even if I told her."
The Li family has huge connections. If they cannot be killed in one blow, they will always be resurrected.
There is no politics without sacrifice.
Wang Xi naturally knew what he was thinking and sighed again.
So from his standpoint, he understands all the difficulties and cannot persuade anyone.
"If you want to be angry, be angry." Wei Yanzhou looked at the still white snow outside the door: "I don't need to understand."
Wang Xi felt bitter in his heart: Is it really not necessary?
**
Outside the palace gate.
Half an hour ago.
Just as Fu Youting got on his horse and left the palace, a young eunuch suddenly came out.
The horse was frightened, and its hooves were raised so high that it almost stepped on him.
The little eunuch was also timid. He actually lost his reaction and lay motionless on the ground.
There were no guards around, only the guards of the horses shouted angrily: "Are you seeking death? Get under the hooves of General Fu's horse?!"
Fu Youtingle stopped his horse and looked down at the man.
He was upset. He had been so angry at Cheng Ning's cowardly behavior, and now his temper was even worse.
"wanna die?"
The little eunuch was shaking all over, and you could even hear his teeth chattering.
You are so cowardly, why are you going on such a rampage?
Fu Youting got off his horse and took his arm to pull him up: "Are you scared to death?"
The body in his hand was shaking excessively, but something was stuffed into Mu Di's palm.
He couldn't react for a moment, and then he wrapped the note.
The little eunuch lowered his eyebrows and looked like he was submissive to his eyes. He could vaguely see the tender skin and tender flesh: "Yes, I'm sorry!"
At this time, the guards had been alerted and came over. When they saw Fu Youting, they knelt down and paid homage.
"General Fu, are you okay?"
Fu Youting let go of the man and saw that he was not injured, so he got on the horse again.
"It's okay, I just frightened the horse."
He rode away as if nothing had happened.
It wasn't until he left the palace that he unfolded the note, touched the content on it, and his pupils shrank.
——Cheng Ning's handwriting, although it has lost some strength due to the weakness of the wrist, is indeed Cheng Ning's.
I just saw him outside Qinghe Hall, looking silent, but he secretly arranged for someone to send him a message.
But the content of the letter is also simple.
There are only three place names on it, along with a sentence: New Year's Eve, ambush.
Among these three places, one is the West Bridge, one is on the stage on Donglong Street, and the other is under the city gate.
They are all famous cultural places in Yanjing. On New Year's Eve, there will be nothing but ordinary people in these three places.
Cheng Ning, what does this mean?
Fu Youting once fought side by side with Cheng Ning and understood Cheng Ning's temperament. She never made unnecessary donations.
Since I sent someone to take risks and deliver the letter to him, I was afraid that something would happen to these three places if I heard the news.
Could it be that someone took advantage of the excitement of New Year's Eve to do evil to the people?
He gripped the paper tightly, his eyebrows serious.
But tomorrow night, as usual, he needs to go to the palace for a banquet.
Cheng Ning really trusted him, trusting him with just a few words.
What if the little eunuch's intestines were really trampled by a horse?
That works.
But think about it carefully, is this why she waited for Wei Yanzhou today?
Is it possible that this matter is related to Wei Yanzhou?
Did he not see Cheng Ning because he wanted to do something that Cheng Ning would stop, so he simply stayed behind closed doors?
What on earth is going on...
He returned to Fu's house, changed his clothes, and quickly went out again.
