The second man is dedicated to his career

If it is true that everything was calculated by Yuan Wuji, then he will definitely not have no back tricks.At this time, maybe the more they do, the more mistakes they make.

Oops!

According to the current situation, recommending that Master Wuxiang...would it also be in Yuan Wuji's calculations.

Mrs. Zhang anxiously turned her head to look for Yuan Xiyue, but she did not see her daughter.

Yuan Xiyue has always hated Yuan Wuji, if she doesn't come to see Yuan Wuji make a fool of herself, then there must be more important things to do.

What's important now?

Probably staying there, preparing to recommend Master Wuxiang to the imperial concubine.

Zhang's heart is very anxious, but she can't walk away now, she can only hope in her heart that her daughter's movements will be slower, at this moment, Zhang's bad feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Zhang's thoughts had long drifted away, and she was startled when she suddenly heard the eunuch's sharp voice.

"Bold Zhang, the Holy Majesty is asking you something!"

Only then did Zhang come to her senses, and quickly knelt down again.

However, she didn't hear what the emperor was asking her just now, so how would she answer?

Yuan Wuji looked at Zhang shivering with fear indifferently, at this moment she had completely lost her usual strength and gentleness in front of Yuan Pei.

Yuan Wuji used the power of money to find out a lot of things. When Zhang entered the Yuan Mansion as a cousin, Princess Lin treated her well.

The old lady Yuan tricked her with calculations, and then she turned from a victim to a perpetrator, helping the old lady poison and frame Princess Lin.

At the beginning, both she and the old lady Yuan only dared to play some tricks secretly, but after Princess Lin gave birth, neither the royal family nor the eldest princess showed any signs, let alone someone to visit.

Sensing Princess Dachang's attitude towards their daughter, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yuan probably felt that Princess Lin was no longer worth using, so they started to go too far.

Princess Lin is still in confinement, the maids around her have been sent away, no one cares about the child and she has to take care of it alone, the food delivered to her is often rotten and spoiled, the more poisoned she is, the worse her health becomes... Princess Lin suffered from insomnia all night, and after giving birth, she became thinner than before, a lot thinner.

Being thin just made her body worse, so repeated, a vicious circle.

Yuan Wuji's gaze turned to the old lady Yuan, and at this moment, the old lady woke up after the cold wind blew.

She looked around in a little confusion, only to realize that there were people around her, all looking at her, their eyes were a little subtle, as if they were watching a joke.

The most prominent thing around is still the bright yellow dress.

Bright yellow...the emperor!

The old lady Yuan was startled, and just about to salute, she discovered something that shocked her.

She was actually held in someone's arms, and she was a well-dressed young man.

The old lady Yuan was so frightened that she was speechless. She was completely stunned and couldn't figure out what was going on.

She was so confused that she missed the best opportunity to defend herself.

"Okay, since you all have nothing to say, let's suppress the person first! This case is handed over to Dali Temple for trial, don't ruin today's banquet."

As soon as the emperor said this, someone suppressed the old lady Yuan and the young lady together.

Xiao Guan looked terrified on his face, but he was not afraid in his heart.As long as he was a witness to identify the old lady, he would be beaten up at most.

The original old lady was in a terrible state of mind, she didn't even know what happened, she just yelled "I'm wronged", and then someone gagged her.

Mrs. Zhang also missed the best opportunity to explain, and now she has no way to explain.Although she was not taken down together, Zhang knew that it was only because the emperor didn't want them to spoil the Qianqiu Banquet, and nothing good would happen to them.

Mrs. Zhang tremblingly followed them back to the banquet, not even daring to raise her head along the way.

However, even if she does not raise her head, she is the focus of everyone.

Yuan Wuji also became the center of attention.

Those who are interested have noticed just now that Yuan Wuji came out with the emperor.

His Majesty's attitude towards the Yuan family... this is very delicate.

When Yuan Wuji followed the emperor back to the banquet, he saw a monk standing in front of the noble concubine.

The imperial concubine smiled lightly and said, "Then how does the master think of this palace?"

"Your Majesty, the poor monk is only counted as one person per day."

The monk stood in front of the imperial concubine, neither humble nor overbearing, with the appearance of a master of Taoism.

Yuan Wuji himself was a monk before, in his opinion, a real monk should be like an old monk, be compassionate.

False monks are just like him, and...the present monk.

Human desires and ambitions cannot be concealed by chanting a few words of "Amitabha".

The moment he saw the monk, a stern light flashed in the emperor's eyes, but no one noticed.

The noble concubine seemed to be somewhat interested in what the monk said: "Oh? I can't do it either?"

"Amitabha, it's against the sky for the poor monk to spy on the secrets of the heavens. If there are too many, it will be forbidden. I hope the empress will understand, even the empress can't do it."

The monk still looks like an expert, the more he excuses and pretends to be profound, the more credible he is in the eyes of others.

"In that case, let's kill it."

The emperor walked over with a blank face, and he looked at the monk as if he was looking at a dead person.

This look made everyone present realize that the emperor was not joking just now, but was serious.

After everyone saluted, the noble concubine smoothed things over with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's normal for an expert to have a temper. Just now, Master Wuxiang did the calculation for the second prince, and the second prince said it was very accurate."

The second prince hastily stepped forward to agree: "Father, there is indeed such a thing, Master Wuxiang's calculation is extremely accurate, even the son's family affairs are accurately calculated."

When the second prince said this, he saw Yuan Wuji next to the emperor, just glanced at it, as if he glanced over it inadvertently, but Yuan Wuji still felt the hostility in it.

"The calculation is accurate, then well, you can do the calculation for me."

The emperor's gaze turned to Monk Wuxiang, his sharp gaze seemed to be saying: If you dare to say a wrong word, you will die.

Monk Wuxiang's head was sweating, he obviously never thought that the emperor would be so difficult to deal with, and he didn't play cards according to the routine.

Monk Wuxiang still wanted to shirk again: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the True Dragon, with dragon energy to protect his body, so naturally..."

"It's time to shirk, don't you think it's too late? Second child, kill him."

In just a few words, the emperor said for the second time that he would kill Monk Wuxiang.

If he is a smart person, he should know that the emperor really wants to kill this monk, but the second prince is still pleading for Monk Wuxiang.Needless to say, his path has narrowed.

"Father, is this inappropriate, after all, Master..."

Before the second prince could finish his words, he saw that Yuan Wuji's dagger had already penetrated into Monk Wuxiang's body. Then, he pulled out the dagger expressionlessly, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the dagger and finger.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Xiyue trembled. This dagger... She is familiar with it. Before Yuan Wuji put this dagger on her neck and scratched her...

At that time, she felt that Yuan Wuji was terrible, but she didn't expect Yuan Wuji to be more terrifying than she imagined, and she really killed people without blinking an eye.

No one expected that Yuan Wuji would be such a ruthless person, he would kill as soon as he said it, without any warning.

What about the sick man?

If it weren't for this inherent cognition, Monk Wuxiang wouldn't be unprepared when Yuan Wuji approached.

And he really didn't feel any hostility from Yuan Wuji, why... Yuan Wuji wanted to kill him?

The phaseless monk died with peace in his eyes.

"Well done, No Trace."

The person who knows why Yuan Wuji did this, except Yuan Wuji and the people around him, is the emperor.

This phaseless monk is very problematic.

It can be said to deceive the public.

With this mouth, he has gained the trust of many people, including many relatives of the royal family and dignitaries.

In order to avoid a large number of people pleading and wasting time, the emperor decided to kill the people first, and then count the crimes of the Wuxiang monk.

This monk is used to bewitching people's hearts, and under the banner of knowing the destiny, he has deceived many people.

Before that, there were many cases of people going to temples and not returning home in the city, and a large number of cases of missing women in the city were all related to this Wuxiang monk.

It is naturally impossible that he can know the secrets of so many officials' homes, but because he has an intelligence network.

With such a huge information network, the people behind this monk's backstage are very scary, even the emperor has to be afraid.

The emperor has never made a move, because he was afraid of scaring the snake, and he wanted to follow the clues to find out who was behind the scenes.And Yuan Wuji obviously checked the monk with the same mentality.

When Monk Wuxiang's crimes were listed one by one, Yuan Xiyue slumped on the ground. She had recommended Monk Wuxiang to the imperial concubine just now. How could she escape the crimes of this monk?

Only then did she realize that she had been used as a gun.

The second prince was also aware of this problem.

The second prince was frightened and angry, but he thought he still had a chance to be rescued.So he hurriedly said: "Father, I really don't know about this matter."

"I don't know, the deeds of His Royal Highness the Second Prince are far more than that. You personally sent troops to burn down the cottage. Didn't you know in advance?"

Yuan Wuji had a sense of sarcasm as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What are you, dare to question Bengong?"

The second prince was already unhappy with Yuan Wuji, but at this moment, Yuan Wuji's behavior was equivalent to adding insult to injury, which made him itch with hatred. If the emperor was not in front of him, he really wanted to rush over and kill Yuan Wuji.

"The question without trace is what I want to ask."

The emperor directly opened his mouth to support Yuan Wuji, which no one expected.

Yuan Wuji was able to appear together with the emperor, which shocked everyone. They did not expect that the emperor would stand on Yuan Wuji's side and directly slap the second prince in the face. What a great honor this is.

At this time, the second prince had mixed feelings in his heart, and his suspicious eyes turned back and forth on the emperor and Yuan Wuji.The shocked eyes seemed to say: Yuan Wuji is really the emperor's son?

"Put away those dirty thoughts of yours! Wuji is not my child, but even so, the throne will never fall on your head!"

The emperor's words were equivalent to cutting off all the thoughts of the second prince.No prince has ever been treated like this.

"Why, father?" The second prince roared in pain.

"You still dare to ask me why? You can see for yourself what you have done!"

As soon as the emperor said these words, the eunuch in the house promptly handed over a notebook that recorded the second prince's crimes.The emperor picked up a stack of papers and threw them all at the second prince's face.

Being so slapped in the face by the emperor in front of everyone, the second prince's face was burning with pain. He picked up those papers, and there were piles of them, all of which were those "good things" he did, those he dared not let Things the emperor knows.

The second prince looked at the emperor and then at Yuan Wuji, Yuan Wuji was also looking at him, his eyes seemed to tell him: Yes, I did it all, no thanks.

"Yuan Wuji!" The second prince gritted his teeth and called out the name.

"From now on, demote this rebellious son to a commoner. What are you doing in a daze, take him down!"

Everyone saw that the second prince, who had always been favored by the emperor, had been demoted to the status of a commoner. How could the others not be nervous?

Few of the officials are completely clean, and more or less always make some mistakes.It's just that they don't know whether this mistake is tolerable in the eyes of the emperor?

So at this moment, everyone is in danger.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to have the intention of liquidating all the officials. After solving the matter of the second prince, the emperor turned his attention to Yuan Xiyue.

When facing Yuan Wuji, who was not favored by Yuan's parents, Yuan Xiyue was arrogant.However, Yuan Xiyue dared not even say a word in front of the emperor who had the power over everyone's life and death.

Mrs. Zhang even shed tears in secret, she seemed to have foreseen their tragic end.

What happened today was probably a game jointly arranged by Yuan Wuji and the emperor, and they were already involved in the game.

First, the old lady Yuan had an accident, and Yuan Xiyue got involved in the royal mystery. Then, will it be her and Yuan Pei's turn next?

This feeling of foreseeing disaster but being powerless to stop it makes people extremely desperate.

Was Princess Lin also so desperate back then?

There was a hint of remorse in Zhang's heart, but she also knew that it was too late.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang had this idea, she heard the emperor ask, "Yuan Aiqing, do you know about this matter?"

Sure enough, it was Yuan Pei's turn.

Upon hearing the emperor's roll call, Yuan Pei immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "I don't know! Your Majesty, I really don't know that this rebellious woman has done such a thing? It's because I can't discipline you well. Please give me a guilty conscience." Opportunity for meritorious service!"

At this moment, Yuan Pei has no idea of ​​protecting his daughter at all. The only thing he thinks about is... If he gives up this daughter, can he give himself a chance of life?

Yuan Pei was always selfish, and would never harm his own interests for the sake of others, even his relatives and loved ones.

Back then, he could use Princess Lin's death to pave his way, so now, he can also sacrifice his daughter, and of course his son.

"I don't know what merit father wants to make?"

As soon as Yuan Wuji opened his mouth, Yuan Pei felt his scalp go numb.No matter how stupid he was, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with his good son.

Perhaps, from the first day the eldest son returned home, he was restless and kind.

Yuan Pei regretted that he hadn't discovered this rebel's intentions earlier. If he had known earlier, he would have made the first move. Then he would never have fallen into such a passive state as he is now.

"Wuji, father knows that it must be difficult for you to grow up alone all these years, but you feel wronged? Don't worry, now that you are back, father will definitely make up for you."

Yuan Pei didn't know how much Yuan Wuji held in the emperor's heart, so he could only pretend to be a good father first, trying to trick Yuan Wuji.

If he can get the elder son's understanding, maybe he can say a few words to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty Yuan, you can be more confident. I don't feel aggrieved, but rather resentful. Your Yuan family conspired to kill my mother, and you will naturally have to pay with blood."

Yuan Wuji changed his title, Yuan Pei... is not far from death.

"This, how is this possible? I have no idea that such a thing will happen."

Yuan Pei's bewildered face, if ordinary people saw it, they would think that he was kept in the dark, that he was ignorant and innocent.However, Yuan Pei, as the head of the Yuan family, is it really possible that he doesn't know anything?

Everyone who was watching the development of the situation was stunned. Tonight's major events were really one after another. It hadn't been so "lively" in many years.

Before coming, everyone thought it was an ordinary Qianqiu Banquet, but until now, they realized that this might be the night of death for many people.

Yuan Pei still wanted to argue, but why did Yuan Wuji give him this chance?

Originally, he wanted to settle the accounts between Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Zhang first. Since Yuan Pei couldn't wait to hit the gun, let him be satisfied.

"Master Yuan, as the head of the Yuan family, doesn't know anything about the Yuan family, so he doesn't know about the fact that Mr. Yuan is the servant of the household department, and the household department is in short supply... Does Mr. Yuan know nothing about it?"

As soon as Yuan Wuji asked this question, Yuan Pei knew that he was hopeless.

He is not the only one who has the final say on the Household Department. Although he is the Minister of the Household Department, he still has a Minister of the Household Department on his head. This chain of corruption runs from top to bottom...

But whether he was the biggest one or not, he did embezzle.Now that the entire household department is in short supply, the emperor will be able to find out the problem as long as he checks.

A burst of despair surged into Yuan Pei's heart, he looked at Yuan Wuji, and said bitterly: "I am your father, if you are so unfilial, aren't you afraid that God will punish you?"

"You killed your wife and abused your son, embezzled and accepted bribes. You are sorry for the sage above and the people below. An unfaithful person like you is not afraid of God's punishment. What am I afraid of?"

Yuan Wuji directly "hammered" Yuan Pei to death.

After Yuan Pei kept silent, Yuan Wuji continued to settle the muddled account of Princess Lin.

When one piece of evidence was presented, everyone was shocked to find out that Princess Lin had suffered so much grievance when she married into Yuan's family?

Because the eldest princess has never paid attention to this married daughter, although Princess Lin is married to the original family, she is not in a state of isolation and helplessness from her mother's family. After giving birth to a child, this situation will become more and more serious. .

The most frightening thing is that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yuan both poisoned Princess Lin.

"In fact, neither of these two poisons was the cause of my mother's death. My mother had been on guard against them for a long time. My mother avoided all the poisons they administered. The real reason for my mother's death was that her body Then he was drugged, and over the years, the poisoning has been deep."

Yuan Wuji's words shocked everyone even more, if Princess Lin was poisoned since she was a child...it must be someone close to her.

At this time, everyone looked at the eldest princess who had hardly spoken tonight in unison.

Princess Lin lived and grew up in the Princess Mansion. If she had been poisoned since she was a child, it is absolutely impossible for the Eldest Princess not to know.

"Wuji has the guts to ask my grandmother, does my grandmother know about this?"

The Eldest Princess slowly stood up from her seat, her posture was still graceful and calm, as if this woman had been graceful all her life.

"Since you have found all this, you must know what you should know and what you shouldn't know. You already know, so why ask again?"

To everyone's surprise, the Eldest Princess didn't seem to want to refute, she seemed to be really ready to admit all these crimes.

Yuan Wuji looked at her, and his voice suddenly became deep: "The eldest princess is really a loving mother, she still wants to protect her own son until now. But even if my mother is not your own, she is also a child raised by you. You Do you really have no affection for her, and treat her as a pawn from the beginning to the end?"
