"Mother concubine read it right?" Li Qi couldn't help but stiffen his body.

Concubine Feng Guifei gave him a strange look, and said: "The incense on this handkerchief is your father's favorite. Although he wears the incense made by Concubine Zheng at night to help him sleep, he uses this for ordinary clothes. Lanxiang."

Li Qi took the silk handkerchief because of the fragrance, but he didn't realize it at that time.

Concubine Feng Gui suddenly let out a 'huh', and said again: "Mother concubine misunderstood, this is not your father's silk handkerchief. The corner of his handkerchief is embroidered with a green bamboo, this one is..."

Concubine Feng Gui suddenly stopped: "... bamboo."

She called Nanny Feng, handed over the handkerchief, and asked, "Do you recognize this embroiderer?"

Nanny Feng never heard the conversation between the mother and son, she just took it as an ordinary thing, she glanced at it, thought she was wrong, and looked carefully for a long time, then said: "This is Yao Zhu's usual embroidery method."

Concubine Feng Gui and Li Kui looked at each other and fell silent.

Mother Feng was at a loss, and said: "Your Majesty, our palace must also get ready."

Concubine Feng Gui nodded: "You can do it yourself."

After Mother Feng left, Concubine Feng said, "Qi'er, where did you get this handkerchief?"

Li Kui then told the story of meeting Wei Song by chance that day, and said, "Mother and concubine also think it's too coincidental."

Concubine Feng Gui nodded: "It's a coincidence. Whether it's the embroidery and pattern on this veil, or why this veil suddenly appeared. Both are too coincidental."

She looked up at Li Qi, and said with red eyes: "I don't care what the purpose of the person behind it is, mother concubine just wants to tell you that Xiao Wu can't die in vain. After all these years, mother concubine has never forgotten that he is still so young , still don't understand anything..."

Li Qi put away the silk handkerchief, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, my concubine, I think so too, otherwise I wouldn't have left this silk handkerchief."

Concubine Feng pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said: "Be careful, don't be noticed. These days, there is a big funeral in the womb, and you are afraid that you will be busy. There is no rush for this matter, your body is important."

Li Kui agreed, and after a few words of comfort, he left Qionghua Palace.He told Zhang Bao: "Go and investigate Wei Song."

Not long after the news of the great funeral in the palace was sent to the Hou's Mansion, the news of Wuji's death also came from Huguo Temple.

Mrs. Wei couldn't stop sighing: "Injustice, injustice."

Mother Xu persuaded: "Don't worry about the old lady, take care of your body."

The old lady Wei said sadly: "It's just a dying person. The most painful thing in this world is that a white-haired person gives a black-haired person. My Ning'er, she is still so young, so young..."

The old lady finally couldn't help it, and burst into tears like a child.Mother Xu hugged the old lady, thinking about the young lady who was not married back then, she was beautiful, bright and dignified.But now he was lying in the cold coffin, unable to say any words of comfort.

"Xuan'er and Zhao'er are still outside, they haven't even been able to see the eldest sister for the last time. Shuning loves Zhao'er so much, if Zhao'er knows how uncomfortable it will be."

The news of Empress Wei's death has not yet reached Huaizhong.

Wei Zhao, Han Sizhi and others are resting at Yuxu Temple outside Lianzhou City.

"It really makes Han Si say it right. This Yuxu Temple is indeed a stronghold in the army. No wonder those Taoists guard us like they are guarding against thieves. It turns out that there is so much salt hidden under the Laojun Hall of Yuxu Temple." Wei Fang After a long time, I couldn't catch my breath, and now I was surprised and said: "Oh my god, there is so much salt."

Wei Zhao smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about not being able to pay the job this time." He sucked his lips and said with emotion, "It's still General Han who knows how to be a man."

Wei Fang said: "That's not true. As long as we find the robbed salt, we can alleviate the people's urgent needs, and the private contacts between Mr. Xie's family and Qixingtang just gave us a ready-made handle. This matter Turning back to the Xie family, the accusation of colluding with the Han family for treason cannot be escaped. After we took the salt and left Huaizhong, and General Han turned against the flag, the Xie family would not be able to tell even if they were covered in mouths."

Wei Zhao lost his approving look, and said, "Since you understand everything, why don't you hurry up and pack your things, and leave Huaizhong as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams." He propped his chin, and said quietly: "It's hard to get out of Beijing. I came here in a hurry and didn’t care to enjoy the scenery. On the way back, I have to spend some time to live up to the beautiful autumn scenery.”

The next day was clear and clear, and the generals of the Lianzhou garrison came early in the morning to take inventory, and patted their chests to promise that they would escort the batch of salt to the road and hand it over to the generals of the next state capital.As for the big salt merchants stranded in Lianzhou City, I'm sorry, whoever lost the salt can go to whoever it is.When the imperial court retrieved the salt, the salt had to be returned to the imperial court.

Xie Tao vomited blood when he heard this: "Young Wei Zhao, you are extremely treacherous!"

But Wei Zhao couldn't hear him, he was already on his way.The situation in Lianzhou has already been rushed to the capital by other people.All the state capitals passing by have received imperial edicts to ensure that the salt trucks arrive in Beijing smoothly.

But is it guaranteed to work?of course not.The salt truck had just passed Lianzhou when it was robbed by a group of people who rushed out from nowhere.The garrison desperately guarded the remaining half of the salt trucks and rushed to Huizhou, really embarrassed.

When the local general in Huizhou learned of the situation, he immediately reported it to the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and sent it to the capital in an urgent manner within [-] miles.But before the book was delivered, Dongzhou garrison Han Qing, in the name of avenging the king of Xianqi, led an army to attack and quickly occupied the four Huaizhong states.And count the crimes of Emperor Xianwu on the tall city wall of Lianzhou City.

"...The great ambition of the first king of Qi was to bravely crown the three armies, pacify the chaos of Chu, and restore the order of the world. The monarchs and ministers worked together to support thousands of miles, how magnificent! It is a pity that the ambition was not paid, and the army died violently! Emperor Xianwu was greedy for power, had little virtue, and disordered human relations. He was mean and ungrateful, and he was a person who disobeyed the principles of the law... It was disloyalty to vent his military plans to the enemy's country! It was for the sake of killing his elder brother, King Qi, and making the king's father utterly grieved. Unfilial! It is unkind to be less kind to the widowed sister-in-law and nephew! It is unrighteous to seek to seize the position of the elder brother and nephew! This unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person is not worthy of being a king! Chao Gang strangled and murdered the heroes, and the hearts of the people in the world are chilled. His evil is beyond description, and the world is clear..."

As soon as the call to action came out, the world was in an uproar.

Li Huai was deeply saddened by Wei Shuning's death, and when he heard the content of the appeal, he was terrified and fainted on the spot.

"Han Qing's rebellion, Han Qing's rebellion!" He stared at his scarlet eyes, repeating over and over again: "Han Qing's rebellion, Wei Ru's rebellion, he'll rebellion! Father killed King Qi , killed Wei Shang, forced Mrs. Han to death, and killed the orphan of the King of Qi, their revenge is coming, revenge is coming!"

"...Emperor brother, the emperor will come to me, and the father, I framed the emperor, forced the father to death, and tried to seize the throne, I am disloyal, filial, benevolent and unrighteous..."

Mingde was serving in the hall, and he couldn't help being horrified when he heard the emperor's nonsense words when he had a high fever.To get a glimpse of the secrets in the emperor's heart, if the emperor thinks of such a thing one day, he may not be able to keep his head.

Mingde wiped Li Huai's body tremblingly. Li Huai didn't fall asleep until the medicine took effect.In his sleep, he twitched from time to time, making Mingde feel cold when he saw it.

It's only been a few years since he was promoted to be the chief manager, but after all, he followed Gao Hai to serve Li Huai when he was in the Prince's Mansion.How Li Huai became the emperor, he knew very well.He also saw how Li Huai tried his best to figure it out and think hard.

That call-to-action has a double meaning, on the surface it is scolding the Emperor Wu, but it is also satirizing the present day in the dark.

The fear deep in Li Huai's heart was magnified over the years, sweeping his whole body while he was sad.He is not afraid of people in the world scolding his father, he is afraid that the darkness of the past will be revealed one by one, and people in the world will scold him like they scolded his father.He is even more afraid that because of his father's fault, the subjects will turn against him, and the country of Qi will be ruined in his hands.

When he knew the secret of that year, he couldn't be at peace for a long time.He once dreamed that Wei Ru picked his head with the tip of his gun, blood flowed down the tip of the gun, dyeing the red tassels scarlet, shocking...

Li Huai stopped court for a few days, and the court hall was in chaos.The news of the great victory in Weinan also came at this time, but compared with that in Huaizhong, the great victory in Weinan was like a stone falling into a lake, rippled a few times, and then disappeared without a sound.

But the eldest prince Li Kui used this time to quietly find out about the death of the fifth prince.

"...Wei Song of Qingzhuyuan was originally surnamed Yao, named Yao Song. He was Yao Zhu's younger brother. He was abducted when he was young, and was sent to the palace to be purified as a slave. Yao Zhu has been looking for her younger brother. I also asked someone to inquire outside, and learned that he might be in the palace, so I kept paying attention to it secretly. By chance, Yao Zhu and Wei Song met."

"Both their siblings have a bamboo whistle. According to Wei Song, they begged for this bamboo whistle from an eminent monk when they were young. Yao Zhu's bamboo whistle is engraved with bamboo characters, while Wei Song's is engraved with pine characters .They use this pair of bamboo whistles to determine each other's identities."

Concubine Feng Gui said: "Yao Zhu has been in Qionghua Palace for so many years, why has she never heard her mention it. Not only that, if they are brothers and sisters, they should have contacts on weekdays. But Yao Zhu has always been honest and responsible, and rarely leaves Qionghua Hua Gong, this is a bit unreasonable."

Li Qi nodded and said: "That's why they are suspicious. That Yao Zhu, we have always ignored her, but she has such embroidery skills, and she rarely interacts with palace people. How can those servants who are used to bowing down on others tolerate her? But she just stayed in Qionghua Palace. The spies placed in various palaces in Qionghua Palace can let us follow the clues to find the master behind it, but Yao Zhu is the only one. Just imagine who else has such ability? "

"Also, I have seen that son-in-law named Wei Song. He is a low-class slave with a very handsome face. The mother and concubine know the dirty things in the palace better than the son-in-law. If a person like Wei Song has no backing, how can he Stay safely in Qingzhuyuan. That is the Qingzhuyuan closest to Xuanming Hall!"

Emperor's people.

"Afterwards, we investigated so closely, but we couldn't find anything except a few tiny clues. The only evidence pointed to Empress Zhonggong."

Concubine Feng's hands and feet were cold, and she went through the events before and after the fifth prince's death in her mind, her heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

"He, for the sake of the power in his hand, even the life of his own son is involved. My little five, my poor little five..."

In fact, Li Qi still had some doubts in his heart.If Wei Song was the emperor's man, why did he appear at this time after hiding it for so many years, and he "coincidentally" met him many times.

According to Wei Song's explanation, he did this to avenge his sister Yao Zhu.Because at that time the emperor promised that they would arrange for their siblings to leave the palace, but her sister was forced to death.

Li Kui was skeptical about such a statement.But what is certain is that the matter of Shu brocade was indeed instigated by the emperor.As for the deeper places, although Li Qi wanted to delve into it, he had no chance.

He glanced at the grief-stricken mother and concubine, then at the direction of Xuanming Hall, and lowered his eyes.

Giving up on such a person may be the best result.This is enough.
