Wei Xi opened his mouth, and Xu Ningzhi continued: "Don't tell me Shen Rongnian won't do that, she just needs to turn a blind eye and someone will get rid of me for her."

"And you, if you turn a blind eye and close your eye, you will ruin my life."

Wei Xi hummed, "Then whatever you want, you can do whatever you want."

"I can't do anything." Xu Ningzhi took out a bottle from his sleeve, poured out a grain of something he didn't know what it was, and swallowed it.

Wei Xi froze for a moment, then pinched her chin and throat, and said sharply, "Spit it out."

Xu Ningzhi turned a deaf ear, Wei Xi directly put his hand into her mouth.

However, the thing melted in the mouth, Wei Xi said with a gloomy face, "Why, you all want to force me? You must force me!"

"One month." Xu Ningzhi staggered, with a bleak smile, "I can only last for one month. After one month, do whatever you want, I can't control you anymore."

Wei Xi stared at her sullenly, with a violent look on his brows.

Instead, Xu Ningzhi touched her face happily, "You finally look a little different, Xiaoxi, what I love is not a body."

"Why do you force me!" Wei Xi pinched her wrist, "Didn't you just not believe me if you didn't give me that secret letter back then? Now you are treating me like a savior, obviously you were right before."

Xu Ningzhi's eyes were strange, "So you care."

"Of course I care!"

Xu Ningzhi chuckled, "It's not right, it wasn't right at the beginning, and it's not right after that... Do you know why I've been vacillating between you and Xu Nanzhao?"

"Because you want to rely on the Xu family."

Xu Ningzhi nodded, "Yes, I thought that only the Xu family existed, and I was qualified to stand by your side and compete with Shen Rongnian."

"But I was wrong."

Xu Ningzhi raised his eyes and showed a smiling face, "Xiaoxi, we don't need to bind certain things, we should do everything for ourselves, and everything should find meaning in ourselves, not on others .”

"Don't you trust me?"

Xu Ningzhi smiled without saying a word.

"Maybe you're right." Wei Xi frowned, and spread out his palms, "I want to, too. At most, we'll die together in a month's time."

Without hesitation, Xu Ningzhi poured one for her.

Wei Xi swallowed it.

"Now we are grasshoppers on the same rope." Xu Ningzhi pushed the hair from her ear and kissed her earlobe lightly, "But I don't want to jump, so...it's all up to you."

Wei Xi raised her eyes and smiled, "It's actually very easy to defeat them, all you need is a barely tenable reason."

And she has plenty of handles in her hands.

Even if it doesn't exist, it can be fabricated out of thin air.

"We'll wait and see." Xu Ningzhi shrugged.

On October [-]th, in the court, Wei Ce and Wei Min quarreled over whether Wei Hong should be given the temple name. Wei Ce believed that Wei Hong was the heir to the throne even though he was young and not long There should also be a temple name, but Wei Min always hinted that Wei Hong's position is not right, a posthumous title is enough, there is no need to spend a lot of time to get a temple name and enter the Taimiao to be enshrined.

"Third Sister..." Wei Xi raised his head and said, "No matter what, the Ninth Brother has inherited the Datong. I'm afraid it's unreasonable for you not to let him enter the Taimiao. Unless he has some serious faults, it's unreasonable."

Wei Min squinted his eyes, "Seventh Sister, you don't know something, Third Sister is not lying, you must have heard of the murderer who has been killing your father these past few months."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials pricked up their ears.

Wei Ce frowned slightly.

"Is it related to the father?" Wei Xi straightened his back and stood upright, "I have been investigating these days, but finally found the palace, but it was like nothing."

"That's because Xu Nanzhao got rid of most of them." Wei Min sighed and shook his head lightly. "Third sister only found some clues in the past few days."

Wei Xi made an invitation, "Third Sister, please speak."

Wei Min turned his back, "Bring it up."

Everyone turned their heads, and the guards brought up a middle-aged woman.

Wei Min moved in front of her, "Tell me everything you know."

"Yes..." The middle-aged woman's shoulders trembled.

Wei Ce frowned, "Who is she?"

"Ninth brother's wet nurse." Wei Min was slightly short, with a soft voice, "Don't be afraid, you are helping him, just say it."

The wet nurse timidly straightened up, "The first emperor... collapsed in arsenic. Frost."

"We all know that." Wei Xi squeezed over and urged, "Tell me something else, who planted the arsenic, isn't it Xu Nanzhao?"

The wet nurse shook her head and replied in a low voice, "It's Princess Yungui."

"How is it possible!" Wei Xi yelled, and immediately grabbed her front with his hands, "After the father passed away, Concubine Yunmu has been lingering on the sick bed, how could she poison the father with arsenic and frost?"

Wei Ce raised his voice, "Talking nonsense!"

"Concubine Yungui sent a bowl of porridge to His Majesty the late Emperor, and then... His Highness the Ninth Highness fed it to His Majesty the late Emperor." The wet nurse wiped her face and kowtowed, "Please, Your Highnesses, all adults, please be aware that His Highness Ninth Highness is just a Boy, he doesn't know anything."

Wei Min looked at Wei Ce, "Although the ninth brother didn't do it on purpose, he did it himself, so I don't think he can enter the imperial temple, but... the culprit is even more unworthy of living in this world... Boss, how do you explain it? "

"A cheap woman can insult my mother and concubine? It's ridiculous!"

Wei Min stroked her palms, "It seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin."

"Xu Nanzhao wants to blackmail you and your fourth brother, so... not a few people know about this matter. Many people in the palace saw Concubine Yungui delivering porridge to the father, and then the father died suddenly. Do you want to see her?" Anyone else?"

Wei Ce scolded angrily, "Nonsense! The concubine mother has no reason to kill the king and her husband. Xu Nanzhao must have done something in it."

"No reason?" Wei Min sneered and raised his hand, "Bring it up."

The guards escorted another person again, and his complexion was gloomy in brocade clothes.

"Fourth brother has frequent contacts with Xu Nanzhao." Wei Min took some letters from Wei Tao's arms and threw them on the ground, "You are clearly in the same group as Xu Nanzhao. Killing your father and setting up a new monarch is just to control the government, you are so vicious, you are disloyal, filial and righteous for the sake of power!"

Wei Ce's face was livid, "This is all slander!"

"If I want to be unified, I will never have anything to do with Xu Nanzhao."

Wei Min chuckled, "But there is. So, you have no intention of unifying? Then why don't you come back sooner or later, and why don't you come back until the ninth brother dies?"

"Of course it's to expose your hypocritical skin." Wei Ce clenched his fists, "Even if according to what you said, the ninth younger brother can't enter the Taimiao, then he is still a righteous successor."

Wei Min raised his eyebrows, "So you admit that Concubine Yungui killed the king?"

"Never!" Wei Ce looked at her coldly and raised his hand.

Two attendants walked in outside the hall, one was escorting a young woman, and the other was holding a brocade box.

Wei Min glanced at the young woman, only to see that she was dressed in common clothes, her hair was tied back casually, a pair of glasses hung on the bridge of her nose, and her glasses shone with a cold and sharp light.

"How could it be you!" Wei Xi was shocked.

Yan Lingyun pushed her, "His Royal Highness, long time no see."

"This is Miss Yan." Wei Ce pointed to her, and said loudly, "It's her who improved the firearm."

The ministers were in an uproar, Wei Hong died of a fire weapon.

Yan Lingyun turned to the brocade box and opened the box.

"The firearms I improved will never explode. The reason why they explode is just because of this." Yan Lingyun wiped up a little powdery substance with his fingers.

Wei Xi was puzzled, "What is that?"

"Ye Mingzhu." Yan Lingyun raised his eyes and looked at Wei Min, "This is something only noble people have. The Third Highness stuffed the Ye Mingzhu into the copper pipe, so it exploded."

Wei Min had no expression on his face, "It's nonsense, even if it's really because of Ye Mingzhu, how can you prove that it was the hall's fault?"

"Third sister, I saw it." Wei Xi said suddenly.

Wei Min turned his head slowly, with some waves in his eyes.

"There is no light when you hit it, but there is light when it is given to the ninth brother." Wei Xi's eyes were burning, "I remember, it is yellow, similar to copper pipes, but lighter than copper pipes."

Wei Min stared at her, "Seventh sister, don't speak nonsense."

"I did see it." Wei Xi was convinced, and frowned slightly, "Sister, he is our real brother, have we reached the point where we are fratricide?"

Wei Xi's eyes were full of regret, Wei Min turned to Wei Ce, "Brother, are you sure that the death of the emperor has nothing to do with Princess Yungui?"

"Sure." Wei Ce answered quickly.

Wei Min looked at the nurse, "That bitch is lying."

"Wei Hong was young, and Xu Nanzhao, a rebellious official and traitor, stood behind him. The death of his father and emperor must have something to do with them. Wei Hong killed the king and father. Not only is he not eligible to enter the Taimiao, but he should also be deprived of his posthumous title."

Wei Xi rolled his eyes, "Third sister, the emperor left a will."

"The ninth younger brother is the son of the eldest son, so he should inherit the great line."

Wei Min didn't even look at her, "Xu Nanzhao has been with the king for many years, it is not difficult to forge the imperial decree. Although the ninth brother is a legitimate son, he is young and ignorant. His father is wise and martial. .”

Wei Ce clapped his palms, "What the third sister said is absolutely true."

There was a storm in Wei Min's eyes, and he rolled towards Wei Xi, "Seventh Sister, Third Sister knows that you are kind and filial, but you can't just rely on one-sided words to trust others."

Wei Xi's face was calm, "What the third sister said is absolutely true."

The three of them faced each other, each standing on one side, and the officials were awe-inspiring.

After a moment of silence, shouts came from outside the hall.

"King Shen is here!"

Wei Ce's eyes showed joy, Wei Min glanced at Wei Xi, and clenched his five fingers.

Wei Xi saluted the visitor as if nothing had happened, "Uncle Emperor."

The visitor turned his gentle eyes around her face, and then helped her up, "I haven't seen you for a few years, you are already a big girl."

"Uncle Huang is still handsome." Wei Xi straightened up.

As the youngest brother of the first emperor, Wei Zhao is only ten years older than her, and he is young and strong. Compared with a few years ago, Wei Zhao is much more mature.

Wei Zhao scanned the hall, "It's very lively."

"I made Uncle Huang laugh." Wei Xi smiled.

Wei Zhao clasped his hands behind his back, "Ce'er, as an older brother, how can you have the same knowledge as your siblings? You are still making trouble like this, which really disappoints the king."

Wei Ce cupped his hands at him and stepped back behind him.

Wei Zhao stepped forward and reached out to help Wei Tao up.

"Thank you, uncle." Wei Tao hooked his head and retreated behind Wei Ce.

Going forward, Wei Zhao looked at Yan Lingyun's glowing glasses, "Not bad."

Yan Lingyun let out a hum from his nostrils.

Wei Zhao didn't care about her rudeness, he stared at the dragon chair opposite for a while, and said, "Brothers and sisters kill each other, don't you feel ashamed?"
