Royal rice bug, worm worm!

After Li Xi left the Chen Ming Palace, he didn't go to the Queen Mother at all, but went to see the figs secretly.

Fig hugged his thigh and cried like a sad frog.

"Alangsino, I did nothing!"

"But it doesn't matter, I will take the crime to myself, and I will never implicate the Fu Palace."

"Just, that's right, I beg Alang, for the sake of you and my master and servant for more than ten years, intercede for this slave, and give this slave a good time. Liaodong is too cold, Lingnan is too far away, I don't want to go!"

"Also, the slave's private money is hidden in the earth hole under the bed, so I just gave it to Pepper. This girl has a bad face all day long, and she probably won't be able to get married..."

Then, a pepper punch.

Finally stopped, and began to talk about business.

At that time, Fig was going to the flower shed to look for Li Xi, but on the way, he ran into Yang Laosan, the groom in the mansion.Yang Laosan squatted under the big poplar tree with a pale face, saying that he had a stomachache and couldn't take care of the saddle.

Fig is always warm-hearted and is his master's horse, so he ran for him.

"Fig can see very clearly that the saddle covers were indeed sewn by my mother. He put his hands on my saddle with his own hands. He doesn't know why he ran on the elder brother's horse."

Li Xi told Wei Yu in detail.

In fact, when things got to this point, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a game, a game against Prince Fu's Mansion and Wei Yu.As long as Wei Yu has a brain, he will choose to be wise and protect himself.

He did indeed do so, "My lord, don't worry, if Dali Temple and Zongzheng Temple jointly investigate, they will surely return the Fu Palace to justice."

Li Xi was a little unhappy, "Are you even going to use these scenes to deceive me?"

Wei Yu pursed his lips, and said, "My lord should know that no matter which pavilion elder presides over this case, you, or Prince Fu's mansion, will be safe and sound."

There is the Empress Dowager, the Zongzheng Temple, and the 30 Dingwang's old department. Let alone this is a game, even if the eldest prince is really harmed by Li Xi, he can get out unscathed.

As for whether the 30 imperial guards can be kept, it depends on who is stronger and who is weaker on both sides of the game.

Li Xi clicked his tongue: "Let them try it, it's no wonder that the case doesn't change. I don't trust them, but I trust you. In a word, just say whether to help or not?"

Wei Yu laughed, "What does the lord want Wei to help? Do you want to save the soldier talisman in your hand?"

"Who the fuck cares about soldier symbols, I want to save Fig!"

Li Xi scratched her hair irritably, and didn't care if there were small curly hairs exposed, "Forget it, I really shouldn't involve you in it, I'll go find someone else!"

Wei Yu was startled, and subconsciously grabbed him, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Xi rolled his eyes at him, "I want to find you, are you willing?"

Wei Yu hesitated.

Li Xi pushed his hand away and ran away angrily.

Wei Yu looked at his back, slightly surprised.

He didn't expect that Li Xi was so caring because of a servant.

Xiao Zirui shook his head and sighed: "My brother-in-law is like this, his temper comes and goes quickly, and he forgets how angry he is after sleeping... Shu Yun, you did the right thing, this matter involves you and Shouxi County Lord Even if you want to preside over the marriage, the saint will not agree."

Wei Yu knew that Xiao Zirui was right.

He should ignore the immature guilt deep in his heart and make the choice that a mature and rational official should have.

Xiao Zirui continued to persuade: "You also said that no matter who presides over the trial, Fu Wang's Mansion and Xiaobao will be safe and sound. At most, they will be labeled as 'not strict with the imperial court', punished with Shiyi, and then the little companion will be pushed out. Top bag, forget about it.”

Wei Yu paused and turned his head to look at him, "Minzhi also thinks, is it worth sacrificing a little companion?"

Xiao Zirui met his gaze and suddenly felt guilty, "No, isn't it worth it?"

Wei Yu suddenly smiled, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, not aimed at Xiao Zirui, but all the powerful families, royal family and nobles.

"You don't care about the life and death of a servant, and you even think that it is very cost-effective to give up him to protect the Fuwang Mansion. Only Fuwang, only he cares."

"He regards that little companion as more important than a soldier talisman, just like he treats the animals in the Furong Garden, regardless of origin or blood, he treats them equally."

That's why he sincerely treats himself as a friend, trusts him, and asks him.

"He is different from the First Prince, the Second Prince, including you."

This time, Wei Yu really saw the value of Li Xi.At the same time, a decision was made.

Since Li Xi didn't let him down, he wouldn't let Li Xi down either.

Wei Yu turned around and walked towards Chenming Hall without hesitation.

Xiao Zirui chased after him, "No, Shu Yun, now is not the time to be impulsive. If you take this step, you will not only fall into the trap of those who set up the plan, but you may even anger the saint!"

Wei Yu curled his lips together, "Minzhi, do you still remember the oath you and I made on the day the list was revealed?"

Xiao Zirui was taken aback, why didn't he remember?

He came from a side branch of the Xiao family, so he didn't have the opportunity to be an official, and even his place in the Imperial College was robbed by his direct cousin.For the sake of his mother and his own future, he studied hard in a poor window, and once he entered high school, how proud was he?

That night, the two talked happily over wine, complacent, and made an oath to the moon.

"We are officials, isn't it because one day, there is no distinction between high and low in this world, as long as justice is done?"

"I've been an official for a few years, but my tendon is no longer a single muscle, but my blood has never been cold." Wei Yu tapped his chest and then his, "I'm like this, and so is Minzhi."

Xiao Zirui was persuaded by him.

There is no rebuttal.

***

Wei Yu lived up to Li Xi's expectations.

Not only did he successfully persuade the sage to preside over such an important case at the age of 24, but he also stuck to his heart under the pressure of all parties and thoroughly found out the truth.

Originally, Yang Huai was complacent, thinking that what he had done was clean enough to blame Yang Xixi, and Wei Yu couldn't get the evidence even if he doubted it.

Needless to say, Yang Huai was excited when he knew that Wei Yu was in charge of the trial, thinking that the game he had set up was finally complete.Unexpectedly, before he was happy for two days, he was picked up from the bed by Long Wujun.

There are all witnesses and material evidence, even if he denies it, the charges are real.The groom who the Yang family put into the Fu Wang's mansion, Youngest Yang, betrayed him.And the servant of Prince Rui's Mansion who was bribed by Yang Huai was also arrested.

Don't ask why it went so smoothly, the question is that Wei Shaoqing is very capable and well versed in people's hearts. None of the suspects who passed through his hands collapsed and pleaded guilty.

Yang Huai was sent to prison, and was asked to be executed in autumn.

If it wasn't for his intention not to murder the eldest prince, then he would not be executed alone, but a whole family would be executed.

Of course, because he was born in a family with a strong family and in-laws network behind him, some people are willing to pursue his "original intention".As for ordinary people, it is inevitable to ransack their families and exterminate their families.

Yang Xixi is even uglier.

He was demoted to slavery, imprisoned in the court, and never pardoned.

A delicate and soft little lady was dragged all the way by the stern and selfless Long Wuwei, from the second gate of the palace to the street, surrounded by countless people.

At the juncture of life and death, Yang Xixi broke out with inhuman strength, pushed Long Wuwei away, and threw herself into Yang's arms frantically, begging her to save herself.

Fortunately, Nanny Yang reacted quickly and blocked her mouth, otherwise she would have yelled something she shouldn't have yelled.

Yang's also went crazy, and he did not hesitate to take out the Forbidden Army Soldier Talisman to threaten Long Wuwei.

The Forbidden Army Talisman of Prince Fu's Mansion can command 30 imperial city guards, including the Longwu Army.The few soldiers who were ordered to come to fetch the man looked at each other in blank dismay.

At the critical moment, Li Mujin stepped forward, "How long will mother be biased? Didn't you hear that the person Yang Xixi hurt was originally my younger brother, and she was going to kill him! It's all like this, you still have to take care of her Live or die?"

Yang changed her gentle and docile appearance, and said, "What do you know, she is—"

"She is the culprit who murdered the eldest prince!" Nanny Yang cut off her words loudly and winked, "Lady, the decree issued by the saint has no power to recover, you just... admit it!"

"She's me—how can I watch... watch her being reduced to slavery?"

Li Mujin smiled coldly, grabbed Yang Xixi, threw her to Long Wuwei's feet, and said in an unprecedentedly decisive and cold tone: "Take her away. From now on, this person will have nothing to do with Fu Wangfu."

Long Wuwei immediately grabbed Yang Xixi and dragged her away like a rag.

Yang slapped Li Mujin on the face, "You are crazy!"

"You're crazy! You don't want me, and you don't want my younger brother because of such a black heart! I know, I know everything!"

Li Mujin was trembling with anger, "Mother, I already knew, otherwise why would I tolerate her so much all these years? She shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't, shouldn't have murdered my little brother!"

Li Xi hurried over when she heard the news, and hugged her shoulders tightly, "It's alright, it's alright, can't I be alright? I'm lucky and fateful, and no one can harm me."

Seeing him, Li Mujin couldn't hold back for a moment, and burst into tears: "You are my own brother, you are my own brother! I won't let anyone harm you, not even if it's my mother..."

He does not mean that.

Yang Shi and the nurses beside her all changed their expressions, they didn't dare to let her continue, and hurriedly dragged her back to the mansion.

Yang didn't have time to interrogate her, so he hurried into the carriage and headed towards Miyagi.She is going to enter the palace and begs the queen mother to protect Yang Xixi.

On the way, I met Yang Huai's biological mother, Mrs. Zheng.

Zheng's face was haggard, her dress was low-key, and she even wore a veiled hat, as if she didn't want to be recognized by others.She calculated that Mrs. Yang would enter the palace, so she specially waited here for her.

"I beg the princess to save Brother Huai! He is only 20 years old, and he is about to die. Let's not talk about how the husband can bear the pain of bereavement. The princess is kind enough to let him live!"

——The Lord of Shou'an County is the eldest daughter of the Yang family, who married Yang Huai's elder brother Yang Yu as his wife.Now the husband and wife are far away in Anxi Duhu Mansion, and the news from Chang'an has not been sent there yet.

Yang's eyes were red, and she said bitterly: "You are really dissatisfied, and you dare to beg me boldly! Zheng Yuzhu, don't you know, who schemed against my daughter to encounter such a catastrophe? Will I save him? I wish he could die immediately!"

Zheng Shi is such a proud and decent person, he knelt down to beg her in the street, but got such vicious words.

A desolate smile creeps up the corner of the mouth, "Your surname Yang's blood is cold, a father abandons his parents and children for the sake of official career, and a mother deceives her daughter for the sake of wealth... You are indeed a family!"

Yang Shi was in a hurry to enter the palace and didn't plan to pay any attention to her.

Zheng suddenly said, "Do you really think that Xi Niang is your daughter?"

Yang frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Zheng sneered, "Why don't you ask the person next to you, she must know better than me."

Mrs. Yang grabbed Nanny Yang's wrist, "Nurse, what's going on? She's cheating on me, right?"

Nanny Yang sighed softly, knowing that she couldn't hide it, she simply said it.

She was originally the dowry maid of Yang's biological mother, and later became Yang's nanny, she was extremely trusted by Yang.Back then, she and the mistress of the Yang family misled Yang Shi into believing that Yang Xixi was her biological daughter.

In fact, Yang's daughter has no birthmark at all, and Nanny Yang lied to her.

"My lady, if you want to blame, you can blame the old slave. Don't be angry with the mistress. She also saw that you were too sad, so she made such a bad plan..."

Yang couldn't listen to anything anymore, she was in a daze, as if she had exhausted all her energy for half her life, and all she could think about was——

Isn't Xi Niang her daughter?

The person she has been hurting and guilty of for more than ten years is just a fake?

It was impossible to enter the palace, so Nanny Yang wiped away her tears, turned the horse's head and walked back.Fortunately, the place is remote, and since she was driving the car herself, no one else heard what she said just now.

Little did they know, Li Yunluo, who followed silently because she was worried about Mrs. Yang, was standing at the corner and listened to everything.

When I got in the car, my legs were soft.

The servant girl hurriedly supported her, "Why did the county master come back so soon? Isn't the princess over there?"

"No, I didn't see it. My mother must have taken another path." Li Yunluo said calmly, "Go back, I'm tired."

The carriage swayed, just like Li Yunluo's mood at the moment.

She heard Li Mujin's words, also heard Zheng's words, and also heard Yang Nanny's words.The messy information was quickly put together in my mind, connecting with a long memory.

Before her death, her biological mother held her hand and cried: "Yun Niang, you must always remember that A Niang was murdered... A Niang knew their secret, Li Xi, Li Xi, he, not... ..."

Before he finished speaking, he swallowed his breath.

At that time, she was too young to understand what A Niang wanted to say, but now—

A horrible answer jumped into mind.

Li Yunluo's hand holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened.
