061, Murder
Wei Jue was adopted by the big house. The wife of Nanyang Hou was so angry that she fainted. The mansion hurriedly asked the doctor to treat him. The second house was in chaos.
"This is too much!" Wei Tingyu almost cursed in anger. Why did her relative brother go to the big house? What is the big house now? It's just a down-and-out household, but it's not relying on the second house.
Wei Jue sat on the chair and was silent.
"Ouch!" Mrs. Marquis of Nanyang woke up with her chest covering her chest, her brain buzzing, and she couldn't accept this reality for a while.
Wei Hong lifted the curtain and entered the door. The Madam of the Marquis of Nanyang seemed to have seen a little hope, "Mr. Marquis, something big happened at home. We only have Jue'er's legitimate son. Jue'er is the hope of the Marquis of Nanyang. My sister-in-law was too much and snatched our son. Marquis, you must ask the emperor to take back the order. The eldest house insists on adoption and choose one from the five squads. Why target Jue'er? This is obviously intentional!"
Wei Hong glanced at Mrs. Nanyang Hou with a slant, feeling aggrieved. She sat aside with her face tense.
"Father?" Wei Jue shouted, with a slight expectation. He didn't want to go to the big room.
"The imperial edict has been issued, so don't disobey. Don't call me father from now on." Wei Hong said this to Wei Jue, and Wei Jue's heart skipped a beat.
"Mr. Marquis, Jue'er is our child. If you don't call your father, why would the emperor bear to separate his flesh and blood?"
The wife of the Marquis of Nanyang shouted, "Sister-in-law did it on purpose, so the Marquis cannot sit idly by."
Wei Hong sighed and helped the Madam Nanyang Hou sit up, and said, "There are still many memorials on the imperial case. The emperor's anger towards the Madam Nanyang Hou's Mansion has not yet disappeared. The state affairs are busy, so how can we have time to deal with these trivial matters? When the limelight is over, let's think of another way."
Mrs. Marquis of Nanyang wanted to say something else, but Wei Jue said, "It is indeed not appropriate for us to cause displeasure to the emperor at this time. We just moved to the East Courtyard, which is no big deal."
"But..." Mrs. Nanyang Hou had been unable to say anything to argue, and asked her to make trouble, but she didn't have the courage to grit her teeth and stood up hard, "I will remember this account. I will sooner or later I will ask that bitch to kneel at my feet and beg for mercy!"
In the afternoon, a maid from the East Courtyard sent her, saying that the yard was cleaned up, so she was waiting for Wei Jue to come over. Even if the wife of Nanyang Marquis could not bear it, she had no choice but to let him go.
This crackdown made Mrs. Marquis of Nanyang sick for several days, but the big room became quiet. Wei Shi was very busy for the time being and had no time to take care of the second room.
He handed the antidote from Concubine Chun to Mu Heng. Mu Heng asked nothing and gave Wei Shi some silver notes.
"It's always easier to have money to stay with you. I'll pay it back to me if I have money in the future."
After hearing what Mu Heng said, Wei Zhi couldn't refuse, "Thank you, cousin Heng."
That night, news came that Concubine Chun accidentally fell and miscarried. The lights of the return palace were brightly lit. Concubine Chun almost bleeded and died. In the end, she saved her life. Before dawn, Emperor Nanliang summoned the monks in the temple to pray for blessings and salvation in the palace.
Concubine Chun lost her children, and Emperor Nanliang enthroned Concubine Chun as the imperial concubine to comfort her and withdrew the enthronement ceremony.
Wei Jing's fingertips hit the table, falling into deep thought, and there were two elves whispering to report the news in his ear.
"Master, Master, Queen Mother Dong is angry and will summon her master to the palace at dawn."
...
A few hours ago, Cihe Palace
As the sky was getting brighter, Empress Dowager Zhaoming didn't sleep all night, so she picked up the wicks herself. After a long time, she sat on the collapse and drank a cup of ginseng tea. At this time, Madam Wen raised her foot and Empress Dowager Zhaoming immediately put down the ginseng tea, "What's the situation when returning to the erectus palace?"
"When I returned to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Chun had a miscarriage and almost lost her life. She forced herself to use life-saving medicine to save her life. The emperor stayed overnight. The imperial doctor said that the child was gone, and the emperor left with a slight face."
Empress Dowager Zhaoming was not happy after hearing this. Concubine Chun was originally fake. Before she could make a plan, the game was broken and did not hurt the enemy at all. How could she be happy?
"Have you found out clearly? How did Concubine Chun miscarriage?"
After decades in the palace, Empress Dowager Zhaoming was a little unbelievable. She was about to be sealed, but something happened suddenly, which made people think more.
"Go to pass the message. I will let Wei Jing enter the palace tomorrow and say that the Ai family is thinking about her."
Madam Wen was surprised, "Does the Queen Mother suspect Miss Wei Qi?"
"The imperial physician didn't see anything for so many days, and the child was always good. Princess Yongyang came back strangely. Yan Heng went to Beijin, and Prince Jin's mansion had a estrangement. All of this was inseparable from this little girl. In the political hall that day, the Ai family pushed her out to take the blame. The little girl might think what she thought."
Empress Dowager Zhaoming sneered, "This girl is smart. Who can help her is the master, but she has a decisive spirit."
"What is the Queen Mother planning to deal with Miss Wei Qi?"
Empress Dowager Zhaoming was silent for a while, "Old rules, go and prepare."
Madam Wen was shocked and touched the murderous aura in Empress Dowager Zhaoming's eyes. She quickly came back to her senses, "Yes, I will prepare now."
...
Wei Shi looked at the dawn and calculated the time to open the palace gate. There was still half an hour before people were coming. He turned around to see Princess Yongyang, had breakfast together, and as soon as he put down the chopsticks, someone came over there.
"Mother is with you." Princess Yongyang said immediately.
Wei Shi shook his head and pulled Princess Yongyang's arm, "Mother, Xiaoqi will just go alone. This is not the first time she has gone there. Xiaoqi is going to help the Queen Mother copy scriptures, and occasionally stay for two days."
Princess Yongyang was still worried, and Wei Ying smiled, "The Empress Dowager called Xiaoqi to enter the palace in public. How could something happen to Xiaoqi? Mother, don't worry."
Unable to resist Wei Yan, Princess Yongyang had to agree. After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Wei Yan slowly got on the carriage.
"I haven't seen each other for several days, Miss Seven's complexion is getting better and better." Madam Wen said with a smile.
"Mum's praise."
The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, as if there was no gap. Wei Yan covered his mouth and smiled, as cute as a child, without any precautions.
An hour later, when he arrived at Cihe Palace, Wei Shi saw Empress Dowager Zhaoming and bowed obediently. Empress Dowager Zhaoming stepped back and was too lazy to go around the corner. She asked straight to the point, "What's the matter with Concubine Chun?"
"Reply to the Queen Mother's words, my daughter... I don't know what's going on."
Empress Dowager Zhaoming's eyes narrowed, and a sharp flash suddenly flashed, and it was fleeting. It waved to Wei Gui. Wei Gui stepped forward and knelt under Empress Dowager Zhaoming's knees.
"Forget it, you are just a little girl, and things are unpredictable. That day, in the Political Affairs Hall, did the Ai family intentionally not help you, and were you still angry with Ai family?"
Wei Jing shook his head, "The Empress Dowager is walking on thin ice, and his situation is already difficult. My daughter is not as good as Prince Jin's Mansion to help the Empress Dowager, so my daughter will not complain."
This is just to make people play with it. It would be strange if I don’t hate it. Empress Dowager Zhaoming’s heart is as clear as a mirror, and his face returns to his former kindness and smile. At this time, Madam Liu entered the hall, “Empress Dowager, it’s time for lunch.”
Empress Dowager Zhaoming nodded, "Let's pass on the meal, sister, let's spend some lunch with Ai's family."
"yes!"
Most of the delicious dishes on the table were vegetarian dishes. Empress Dowager Zhaoming said a few words to Wei Shi from time to time. Wei Shi tasted some of them. These dishes were made of a powder called grass mustard seeds, and it was not a big deal to eat them alone.
"The food in the Empress Dowager's harem is delicious." Wei Gui raised a smile on his lips, and his face was innocent.
Empress Dowager Zhaoming didn't eat much, so she put down her chopsticks and drank half a cup of tea, then put down the teacup again, and said with a smile, "If you like it, eat more."
Wei Jing nodded violently, and a step on his temple suddenly hit the table and wrapped it in a ball. Wei Jing reached out to right him. Empress Dowager Zhaoming took a look, "The butterfly wings that were shaken by this step seem to be alive. At first glance, it looks quite beautiful and suitable for a girl like you."
Madam Wen laughed, "I have noticed that the style of the 无生 is very special."
Wei Shi smiled shyly, "Mum's so good at seeing. This stunning style is not a popular style in Kyoto City. I don't know who asked someone to bring it to me from the border. There are also several sets of jewelry. My mother said, I'm wearing this one and look good."
After saying that, Empress Dowager Zhaoming paused and looked at Wei Jing meaningfully, "Did you send it from the border?"
"Yes, there are still some venison meat, but the road was delayed and the meat was no longer delicious. It was a pity to throw it away. The man spoke in a dialect with his mouth. I thought it was fun, so I asked a few more questions." Wei Yan replied with a smile, his eyes as bright as stars were full of sincerity, but Empress Dowager Zhaoming couldn't guess Wei Yan.
After hesitating, Empress Dowager Zhaoming had no movement. After lunch, she went to the hall to rest, and asked Wei Shi to go to the side hall to copy the scriptures.
"Empress Dowager?" Madam Wen didn't understand why Empress Dowager Zhaoming suddenly stopped.
Empress Dowager Zhaoming tightened her face, "Where did Wei Baixiao appear last time?"
Madam Wen suddenly understood, and Empress Dowager Zhaoming said again, "Princess Yongyang returns to Beijing, Wei Baixiao will inevitably contact his family. No wonder the emperor suddenly waited for Yongyang and his family. This girl can't move for the time being, so I'll send it back tomorrow."
"Yes, I understand."
