Something happened in the palace again.
I heard that Concubine Xi fell from the steps of a tall building at the city gate and fell unconscious.
The past six months in Jinyang are destined to be uneventful, and this year is destined to be a bad one.
The fireworks case spread at lightning speed, and with Wei Yanzhou around, the case was settled quickly.
Li Shiguang and Li Lianbei's residence were searched for 100 million silver.
Not including other disciples, relatives and clans.
What is this concept?
With this money, not only can we completely solve the locust plague in Dongchuan, but we can even feed a powerful army.
The outbreak of fireworks smuggling has also put all smuggling on the agenda.
There is no peace of mind during the Chinese New Year. I originally stopped going to court until the seventh day of the lunar month, but resumed the court on the second day of the lunar month.
Li Lianbei was sentenced to be beheaded immediately, the men involved should be killed, and the female family members were exiled to the border areas and were never allowed to return to the court.
On the day he heard that Li Lianbei died, Wei Yanzhou was cursed bloody at the execution ground.
Call him a dog emperor.
Accused him of tyranny and dictatorship.
He scolded him for knowing it in advance, but waiting until it caused a catastrophe, and he would definitely go to hell after death.
Wei Yanzhou only sneered lightly and abandoned his body in the forest, letting wild dogs eat it.
Li's smuggling case was tried very quickly, taking only seven days.
The courtiers were all shocked.
Because the evidence of Li Lianbei's crime thrown out by Wei Yanzhou showed that he had long been interested in targeting Li Lianbei.
Otherwise the evidence would not be so concentrated and precise.
Seeing his methods again, Xie Zhiyun's back was wet.
He didn't dare to think that if he had not surrendered to Wei Yanzhou and agreed to the business tax reform, his head would have fallen faster than Li Lianbei's.
I don’t dare to think about it, I don’t dare to think about it at all.
At this point, Wei Yanzhou has completely proved his strength with his own skills.
No one dares to look down upon it anymore.
It snowed again on the eighth day of the lunar month.
At night, Wei Yanzhou came out after handling political affairs and stood outside the door with his shoulders covered in snow.
Wang Xi bowed his body and opened the umbrella for him: "Your Majesty, today the Xie family sent someone to send their concubine Xie Qingyi to the palace."
It was within Wei Yanzhou's expectation that the Xie family would have a backup plan.
On New Year's Eve, she didn't have time to deal with Xie Nianyao. She seemed to have been prompted by Xie Zhiyun, and she started pretending to be sick when she returned to the palace.
There are rules in the palace. If the concubine is seriously ill, a female family member can take care of her illness.
"It seems that Prime Minister Xie can't wait. He knows that the queen is too stupid to take on a big role."
Wei Yanzhou sneered: "He was scared by Li Lianbei. He was afraid that there would be no one in the palace, and he was also afraid that Xie Nianyao would be stupid again."
Why not?
The queen's repeated actions, if Wei Yanzhou hadn't wanted to touch her, he would have died several times in the palace.
"The Xie family will not move for the time being. One of the two great families has fallen, and the trees have fallen and the hozens have scattered. Xie Zhiyun can take advantage of a lot of conveniences."
Although he said that, Wang Xi knew that Wei Yanzhou was hesitant after all.
Because——Cheng Ning.
"How long do you think she will be angry this time?" Wei Yanzhou suddenly asked: "I went to see her yesterday, and she didn't even want to look at me."
Cheng Ning was in a coma for several days and hit his head while falling down the stairs.
It was already pitiful, but it became even more pitiable with that injury.
Wang Xi thought about it, not knowing what to say without irritating him: "Your Majesty - Concubine Xi is the one you care about after all. Why don't you talk openly?"
Wei Yanzhou protected Xie Nianyao just because the Xie family was still useful.
"Care?" Wei Yanzhou chewed on these two words.
Wang Xi felt hard for him: "The Cheng family... Even if there is a big mistake, it was General Cheng who caused it. The empress did nothing wrong."
Since Your Majesty is unhappy every time Cheng Ning is injured, why do you have to fight like this?
It was uncomfortable for both of them.
"If one day she knows why I hate Cheng Xi, what do you think she will do?"
Wei Yanzhou didn't know that he was too harsh on Cheng Ning now.
But he didn't want to think about what would happen if Cheng Ning knew the truth one day.
From the moment the late emperor died, their relationship was destined not to end well.
Sometimes it feels good that Cheng Ning hates him.
You should hate it.
Just as he hates the Cheng family.
But occasionally, Wei Yanzhou would feel that his fate was unfair.
Wang Xi didn't speak for a long time.
He also didn't know what to say, but as a bystander, he still felt it was too painful.
Wei Yanzhou pushed open his umbrella and headed to Linhua Palace against the snow.
Linhua Hall is brightly lit.
The fall left Cheng Ning temporarily unable to get out of bed. There was a large wound on his forehead that only started to scab over the past two days.
Meng Xin said that there might be scars, which made Chunhua extremely nervous.
In the past few days, she had actually read medical books and tried any effective method to remove scars.
Today I found dandelions from somewhere, crushed them and applied them to Cheng Ning's head.
But Cheng Ning still looked indifferent.
It was as if this deep palace had sucked all her energy away.
"Mother, Hongxiu made red bean dumplings today. I went to check them out. They look great. Can I bring you a bowl?"
Hongxiu is another little maid in Linhua Palace.
Cheng Ning's mouth felt very bitter because he had drank too much medicine in the past few days.
But she didn't want to drink sweet red bean soup either.
Not wanting to offend Chunhua's good intentions, he nodded.
When the red bean dumplings were served, Cheng Ning stuffed them into his mouth.
Seeing this, Chunhua felt extremely comforted, and finally began to accept eating.
In the first two days after waking up, I vomited whatever I fed.
At that time, she and Meng Xin were frightened to death, thinking that their heads had been knocked off.
When Wei Yanzhou came in, Cheng Ning had already filled less than half of the bowl.
Seeing him, Chunhua hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty."
Cheng Ning didn't even raise his eyes and scooped a mouthful into his mouth.
"If you can't drink it, don't drink it. It's a waste." Wei Yanzhou sat down beside her bed, reached out and grabbed the bowl, and handed it to Chunhua.
Chunhua: "Your Majesty, you are eating well——"
"Every time she eats something that is unappetizing but has to be eaten, she swallows it without chewing it. Did you just see her chewing it?"
This one really doesn't exist.
Chunhua was sullen, a little dissatisfied but didn't dare to speak anymore.
"I'm sleepy." Cheng Ning's voice was not fully recovered, and she was still a little hoarse when she spoke: "I'm going to sleep."
Chunhua knew that she didn't want to see Wei Yanzhou.
But this person is the most noble in the palace, and no one dares to stop him.
She boldly said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is not well yet, or else——"
Or you can go to Liyue Palace or Fengluan Palace.
Just don't come to Laihua Palace.
"You sleep." Wei Yanzhou seemed to be clenching his back molars: "I will watch you sleep."
For several days in a row, he would come to the Hua Palace after finishing his political affairs.
Cheng Ning didn't wake up at first, so he could squeeze into bed and hold her to sleep all night.
Later, when the person woke up and he wanted to go up again, Cheng Ning lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
No matter how injured he was from the fall, he still had to go to sleep in another palace while limping.
Wei Yanzhou endured it again and again, but Wang Xi repeatedly persuaded Cheng Ning, saying that Cheng Ning was stimulated and hurt, so don't argue with her.
He suppressed his temper and endured it.
It's fine now. As soon as I saw him, I immediately started chasing him away.
No matter how good-tempered Wei Yanzhou is, he cannot give in to this point again and again.
But Cheng Ning still ignored him, got into the brocade quilt, turned her back to him and closed her eyes.
The only sound in the hall was breathing.
Wei Yanzhou suppressed his low breathing and Chunhua's trembling heartbeat.
Only Cheng Ning's breathing was smooth and he seemed to be sleeping deeply.
"Your Majesty, how about——" Chunhua started to persuade.
But before she finished speaking, Wei Yanzhou interrupted sinisterly: "Get out."
"But....."
Wang Xi came in at some point, stopped her, took her out and closed the door.
There were only two of them left in the palace.
"Cheng Ning, if you want to make trouble, I'll give you a chance to make trouble now."
