Crossing the Extreme Rampage

Chapter 358 The person behind the scenes surfaced

Yanling looked at the two of them, "Master Huo has learned sorcery for a long time, and it is possible to spy some methods of sorcery during the process."

Xiao Zhengyu poured another glass of water for Yanling, "Yanyan, after talking so much, I must be thirsty again, drink another glass and take a rest."

Yanling blushed slightly, "Zhengyu, you are so considerate."

Tang Yuanming, Xu Zhengfeng, "..."

Xu Zhengfeng looked away from the two children, "Yuan Ming, according to what Yan Ling said, how did Master Huo trap people in the painting?"

Tang Yuanming was also puzzled, "Master Huo is dead, now we can only answer the mystery after knowing who is in the painting."

Xu Zhengfeng nodded, and then unfolded the painting, intending to look at the clues again, but was surprised to find, "Yuan Ming, he turned around."

Tang Yuanming immediately lowered his head to look at the painting. Indeed, the people in the painting are facing them now.

Xiao Zhengyu pointed at the painting and blinked in surprise, "He blinked at me."

Yan Ling cast a spell to penetrate the spiritual power, but was bounced back immediately, "It's a very strong barrier, my spiritual power can't penetrate it."

Tang Yuanming pressed Yan Ling's small shoulder, "Don't act rashly, we still don't know how this painting was formed, so be careful of self-defeating."

"Ah."

Xu Zhengfeng looked at the man in the painting and blinked twice, "I wonder if he can hear us?"

Yan Ling frowned with two exquisite light-colored eyebrows, which looked like two ripples, "He shouldn't be able to hear it, if this is a small world, he is equivalent to living in that small world independently, without any contact with the outside world. "

Xiao Zhengyu turned his head to look at him with puzzled eyes, "But why did he wink at us?"

Tang Yuanming stared at the painting for a while, then picked it up and placed it sideways, the person in the painting was still blinking, "It may be a coincidence that he blinked not at us."

"Coincidence?" Xiao Zhengyu pouted, not wanting to accept this answer.

After discussing for so long, Tang Yuanming put away the painting and said, "Okay, let's do something else, don't surround yourself with a painting."

"Yeah." Xiao Zhengyu thought for a while, and said expectantly, "Brother Ming, I want to eat your hot pot, shall we call second brother back to eat hot pot?"

Tang Yuanming readily agreed, "Okay, I'll satisfy you little greedy cat. It just so happens that the weather has cooled down recently, so eat hot pot to get rid of the cold."

Yan Ling said positively, "I'm going to write a letter to my second brother."

"Go."

……

Royal Palace.

"The son and the queen pay respects to the mother." Wei Yaoqi said the words of greeting, but he did not show a respectful attitude.

The empress dowager has gray hair, but she is gorgeously dressed, and her dignified and graceful temperament makes her look much younger than the old ladies of the same age. "Why is the emperor coming here when he is free? Sit here."

Wei Yaoqi sat on the other side of the dwarf, straightened his clothes, "The queen mother has been back to the palace for several days, and the minister hasn't come to have a good chat with you. Today is free, so it's time for us mother and son to have a good chat."

The empress dowager didn't change her face behind her, but her heart was already aroused, she turned back and said, "If the emperor has something to say, just say it."

A faint smile appeared on Wei Yaoqi's deep face, and he said slowly, "Mother, do you still remember how old I was when my father entrusted you to raise me?"

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes slightly, and her thoughts went back to when Wei Yaoqi was still a baby.

When the late emperor handed Wei Yaoqi's small and tender hand into hers, he was only a little over three years old. At that time, Wei Yaoqi gave her a big gift in a dignified manner, and softly called her the queen mother.

She and her elder sister are siblings, and they have had a good relationship since childhood. At the beginning, she really loved Wei Yaoqi.

But the women in the harem are too easy to change.

Because of Wei Yaoqi, she could endure without her own child for two or three years.

But there is no child of her own for five or six years. I guess there is no woman who does not feel resentful, right?

In resentment, she finally waited for her own son, and hated Wei Yaoqi even more.

The first emperor was wise, or no one could calculate better than him. In order to secure the eldest son's position as the prince, he tried his best to train him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he did not allow the women in the harem to have children.

When Wei Yaozhuang was born, at that time Wei Yaoqi already had the demeanor of a crown prince, with people's aspirations, stable power, and unshakable power. Later, he married the prime minister's daughter and successfully ascended the throne.

No one else's son can compare to one's own.

She wanted her son to sit on the throne, but no one helped her.

What the natal family wants to attach to is a real monarch.

But she was not reconciled, and the idea of ​​wanting her son to be emperor became stronger and stronger, and she often instilled in Wei Yaozhuang the idea that he must be on the throne.

But until now, this wish has not been fulfilled.

The empress dowager forced a smile, "The emperor was sent by your father to the empress mother when he was more than three years old. How could the empress mother forget such a big event?"

Wei Yaoqi turned his head slightly to look at the Empress Dowager, with calm eyes, and said slowly, "The empress mother has raised me for more than ten years, does she have any mother-child affection for me?"

The Empress Dowager was silent.

Just asking a question just because he wants to know doesn't mean he cares or needs it. Seeing that she didn't speak, Wei Yaoqi knew the answer.

"My mother hates me, I can understand, but the disaster is not as good as my children, why does my mother want to attack my son?"

The empress dowager froze as if struck by lightning, "The emperor... what is the emperor talking about?"

Wei Yaoqi smiled slightly, but it made people feel terrified and uneasy, "The queen mother is so smart, how could she not understand the meaning of my son?"

The empress dowager's face turned slightly pale, and she held her breath, "The emperor, the king of a country, should know that there are some things that cannot be said indiscriminately."

"Are I talking nonsense, the empress mother knows it well, do you want me to show evidence one by one?"

Wei Yaoqi's deep voice was mixed with anger, and the words became more and more serious, and the whole space gradually filled with a suffocating pressure.

The empress dowager's face changed drastically, as if falling into an ice cellar, "When did the emperor know?"

"From the moment I knew Zongxuan was still alive, I guessed that it was the queen mother who did it. When Mingyu gave birth, only the queen mother dared to do it, and...the other one did the opposite. The midwife was arranged by the queen mother. If You were the first one to suspect the mother when something happened, and it is precisely because of this that everyone dispelled everyone's suspicion of you. In addition, under your careful arrangements, the child was stolen and replaced seamlessly. Everyone thought it was a dead baby, not even me. doubted."

"Is there evidence for what the emperor said?"

Wei Yaoqi was extremely disappointed, he no longer had any affection for the empress dowager, "The empress dowager still intends to quibble?"

The queen mother made the empress dowager understand that her mother-child relationship with the emperor was over, and she also knew that the emperor came to the showdown with her because he had the ironclad evidence, "What does the emperor plan to do with me?"

Wei Yaoqi didn't answer her question, but continued, "Why did the queen mother let Zong Xuan die? She has already been taken out of the palace, and someone buried poison in his body?"

"Cut the grass without eradicating the roots, spring wind blows and regenerates, but just in time for my grandson to be born, my heart softened a bit, otherwise..." How can I keep you from seeing Wei Zongxuan!

And she didn't expect that the midwife would betray her, send the child away, take someone to move, and never hear from her again.

Later, thanks to the method Tang Yuanming and the others thought of, someone in the midwife's family really thought about it, otherwise how could she kill the midwife's family one step ahead of time.

I thought there would be no more clues, but who knew that Tang Yuanming was so clever that he found a clue from the midwife's hairpin, and it happened to be the same person who picked up Wei Zongxuan.

Perhaps this is God's will, God's will is hard to violate!

When she heard that Wei Zongxuan was found, she was so shocked that she tore off the rosary in her hand, hurried back to look at it, and even wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

At this moment, the empress dowager was heartbroken.

Wei Yaoqi looked at the Empress Dowager, her eyes were no longer warm, "The Empress Dowager cares about the common people and the Great Wei. From tomorrow, she will close the palace to worship the Buddha. For the sake of purity, she will leave a nanny to take care of her. The rest of the people will be dismissed and will not leave the palace without summons."

The empress dowager was the wife of the first emperor, and now she is the empress dowager. Unless she committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, she would not be executed.

What's more, the matter of Wei Zongxuan can't be announced at all, and can only be dealt with secretly.

Think about it, if people all over the world are spreading the news that the empress dowager killed her descendants by any means, what would the royal family of Wei be ashamed of?

He is not only a father, but also the king of a country!

The empress dowager fell down on the couch in despair. The emperor not only put her in the cold palace in a disguised form, but also put her under house arrest. It is estimated that she would never leave the palace again until she died!

Wei Yaoqi got up and left the empress dowager's palace.

As soon as he left, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace were dismissed, and the key was dropped from the gate. This palace where the most noble women in the world lived immediately became a palace of death!

Such a punishment is tantamount to a death sentence for the queen mother of a country.

……

National Teacher's Office.

The pot is steaming hot, constantly tumbling with bubbles, bringing out a rich and unique spicy taste.

"Brother Ming, I want to eat fish balls, give me another plate." Wei Zongxuan changed into the clothes he was wearing before, and temporarily returned to being Xu Zhengyi. He really liked eating hot pot around the table with everyone.

Tang Yuanming said dotingly, "Brother Ming will cook fish balls for you right away, do you want anything else?"

Wei Zongxuan's face was full of excitement, and his fair and handsome face was a little flushed because of the excitement, "I want it, and I want brother Ming's fragrant tofu, fish tofu, and pork belly."

"Okay, all are satisfied."

Xiao Zhengyu, Yan Ling, and Hong Lian looked at Wei Zongxuan who was eating non-stop, and all wondered, did the palace treat their second brother badly?

Xu Zhengfeng put the cooked fish balls into Wei Zongxuan's bowl, and asked carelessly, "Is the food in the palace not to your liking?"

Wei Zongxuan picked up the fish balls and blew them, put them into his mouth, then shook his head while chewing, "No, why do you ask that?"

"I just care about you, nothing else. If you like to eat at home, come back to eat at any time. If you want to eat, let the eunuch tell you in advance, and the elder brother will prepare it for you."

"Well, I won't be polite." Wei Zongxuan thought for a while and said, "Brother, will you always be so nice to me?"

"Of course, you are the younger brother forever." Xu Zhengfeng replied without hesitation.

Wei Zongxuan smiled happily, "Big brother, you are also my forever big brother."

Tang Yuanming smiled and said, "Come on, eat some vegetables, there are still so many, Zong Xuan is not allowed to go back to the palace until he finishes eating the vegetables."

"Hahaha, then I have to leave some of everything, so that I can stay in the National Teacher's Mansion and eat every day."

Xiao Zhengyu answered with a smile, "Welcome, absolutely welcome."

"Hahaha……"
