After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty

In the evening, when the weather was still clear during the day, suddenly there was a light rain in the sky. The rain in the spring night did not make people feel gloomy. The evening wind was smooth, and the dense rain fell on the eaves and green leaves up, falling into the rippling lake, tick tock, ding ding dong dong, like a Jiangnan ditty impromptu.

Prince Xi’s mansion has been resting for more than a month, and everything has been repaired almost. In the middle of the mansion, there is an artificially excavated lake. The lake has introduced rare varieties of lotus flowers and many colorful koi. Although it is not yet summer. On that day, the lotus flowers were not in bloom, but the lotus leaves in the lake had already grown very lushly. The raindrops fell on the huge lotus leaves, rolling into the jade plate like pearls, full of wildness.

Bai Jinfu was in a particularly good mood tonight, and ordered people to hang curtains on the eight corners of a gazebo by the lake to keep out the rain. There were many palace lanterns hung in the gazebo, which were as bright as daytime, and the surrounding scenery could be seen very clearly. People set up low tables, incense tables, cushions, melons and fruits, and various tools for making tea in the pavilion, and sit in the pavilion alone to enjoy the rain.

As soon as the water for making tea on the stove boiled, Bai Jinfu saw a servant not far away leading Han Yucheng towards the pavilion by the lake.

Han Yucheng was holding an oiled paper umbrella and wearing a long gown. He walked at a leisurely pace all the way. After entering the gazebo, he put away the oiled paper umbrella and wiped off the raindrops on his body. He put up his clothes and sat down on the mat, picked up the tea that Bai Jinfu had just brewed for him, put it under his nose and sniffed it first, then took a sip, put down the cup and said, "Your Highness has improved his tea-making skills again."

"Really?" Bai Jinfu picked up the teacup and took a sip by himself, and said with a smile, "I seem to be the same as usual when I drink it. It must be that uncle has a happy event and is in a different mood, which makes you feel the taste of tea. There are changes."

Han Yucheng smiled faintly, "Your Highness is so sure that King Lie will do what I say?"

"When things come to an end, what other choice does he have?" Bai Jinfu finished drinking the tea in the cup, picked up the teapot and brewed another cup for himself, "One step ahead is a cliff, and one step back is a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair. If you want to solve the current predicament, it is impossible to get out of the whole body, you can only choose to abandon the car to protect the handsome, whoever made the Wang family have a good son, it is impossible for him not to abandon the Yue family."

King Lie was not born to Empress Huiyuan, his biological mother was just a surrogate of Emperor Longqing, and she passed away very early. Emperor Longqing had seven sons in total. Not outstanding, not valued by Emperor Longqing.

Lie Wang is able to have today, apart from relying on his own efforts, the Wang family of his Yue family has also contributed a lot. The Wang family is a family of hairpins, and there have been two emperors and one minister. Although the Wang family has declined in the reign of Emperor Longqing , the power is far less than before, but the lean camel is bigger than the horse. Over the years, he has done a lot of things for King Lie over the years to help him win over his courtiers. Princess Lie is also a shrewd and capable wife. The reputation is very high.

Therefore, King Lie relied heavily on the Wang family. If the Wang family fell, he would lose an arm, and his chances of winning the throne would be greatly reduced.

Lie Wang will never abandon the Wang family unless it is a last resort. Even if Wang Youcheng commits a crime of treason, Lie Wang will try his best to help Wang Youcheng make amends. Duan Wuji will use the adulterous relationship between Wang Youcheng and Zhang Shuyi to calculate. Lie Wang.

Emperor Longqing hated being deceived by others the most in his life. If he knew that his son helped outsiders to cover up the evidence of adultery with his concubine, then one can imagine what position King Lie would have in Emperor Longqing's heart from now on.

After sitting down and drinking two cups of tea, someone hurriedly came over to report that the eyeliner who had been sent out to watch came back with news that someone saw His Royal Highness Changsun personally leading troops to the Wang family to escort Wang Youcheng into the palace. There are Liewang, Liewangfei, Liewang's father-in-law, Yinqing Guanglu doctor Wang Jin.

"Understood, go to the kitchen to warm up a pot of wine and prepare two dishes to accompany the wine. The king wants to have a drink with Han Xiang." Ye Shang's voice seemed to suddenly become louder. He glanced outside the gazebo, and at some point, the rain became more rapid.

In this palace tonight, I am afraid no one will be able to sleep.

-

Emperor Longqing was worried about Zhang Shuyi's affairs recently, and it started to rain again in the evening, making his mood even more unhappy. Someone came in to report that the crown prince, king lie and grandson of the emperor had something to ask for an interview in the palace, so they had to get up from the bed again, put on their clothes and strode out.

The others had already been waiting in the main hall, and when they saw Emperor Longqing coming out, they all knelt down and saluted. Emperor Longqing didn't look at anyone carefully, and dropped the word "Pingshen" as he walked, sat down on the dragon chair with a sullen face, and went down Sweeping, "At night, the mobilization of teachers and people to ask for face-to-face saints, what happened?"

Duan Wuji stepped forward, and said first, "Grandfather, it's like this. You asked Wuji to secretly investigate the suicide of Chunzhi, a palace maid in Yongyi's palace. Wuji has already found out the result, so I came here to report to Grandpa Huang."

Emperor Longqing frowned, and said in disapproval: "Didn't I tell you to keep quiet about this? Now you have brought so many people here, what exactly do you want?"

The prince was also confused, "Yes, Wuji, what are you calling us here for?"

Duan Wuji smiled slightly, "Grandfather, Father, please be calm and calm, it is really because the truth of this matter is too shocking, Wuji dare not make judgments arbitrarily, so I invite all the elders to come and distinguish together. "

"Wuji, what kind of medicine do you sell in the gourd? It's so good. Why did you take Wang Youcheng into the palace?" Lie Wang pretended to be ignorant, and asked Duan Wuji calmly.

Duan Wuji raised his eyebrows, looked at King Lie with a half-smile, "It seems that Uncle Wu doesn't know about this matter?"

King Lie opened his eyes wide and looked innocent, "What do I know? Why can't I understand everything you said?"

"It doesn't matter if Uncle Wu doesn't understand now, he'll understand soon." Duan Wuji smiled, showing his sinister white teeth, and suddenly clapped his hands, "Come here! Bring Wang Youcheng in!"

Immediately, guards tied up Wuhua Da, stuffed his mouth with a cloth strip, and escorted Wang Youcheng, who had been beaten black and swollen, into the hall. Wang Jin, Wang Youcheng's father, saw his son in this state, and rushed to Duan Wuji to question him. : "The grandson of the emperor, the son of the humble minister is also an official of the court. What crime did he commit? You want to tie him up like this?"

"What crime did he commit?" Duan Wuji sneered, "The crime he committed is a capital crime enough to make your entire Wang family be executed!"

Upon hearing this, Father Wang's expression changed drastically, he took two steps back, and asked suspiciously: "What does the emperor's grandson mean by this?"

Duan Wuji signaled the guards to take out the cloth strip from Wang Youcheng's mouth, grabbed Wang Youcheng by the nape of his neck and collar and dragged him to Emperor Longqing, threw him on the ground like throwing garbage, and said coldly: "Wang Youcheng, it's you Should I explain it myself, or should I tell it for you?"

Wang Youcheng's face was pale, he was so frightened that he couldn't say a single word, Lie Wang walked over at this time, pointed at Duan Wuji and said, "Duan Wuji, don't bluff there, Wang Youcheng doesn't care what you say." A relative of the emperor, you beat him like this without saying hello, do you still have my fifth uncle in your eyes? Tell me, what crime did he commit?"

"It's all in front of the emperor's grandfather, how long are you going to sing Wushu's play?" Duan Wuji raised his chin and pointed his nose at Lie Wang, snorted coldly, turned his head and cupped his hands at Emperor Longqing, "The emperor Grandpa and grandson have already found out the truth about Chunzhi's suicide, probably because Zhang Shuyi and Wang Youcheng committed adultery, Chunzhi, as an accomplice who helped Zhang Shuyi commit adultery, was afraid that her master's adultery would be exposed, so she committed suicide in fear of crime!"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of all the people present were shocked. Princess Lie heard that her younger brother had done such a daring thing, she was so frightened that she rolled her eyes and almost fainted. It's not good-looking, but after all, he is older, and he can barely maintain his composure. He asked Duan Wuji, "Emperor Grandson, do you have evidence for what you said?"

Lie Wang also said: "Yes, where is the evidence?"

Duan Wuji ignored the others, only looked at the ashen-faced Emperor Longqing, and said unhurriedly: "I want to report to Grandfather, my grandson searched Yongyi Palace according to the order, but I didn't find any clues from Chunzhi's residence." , so I investigated the eunuchs who were acquainted with Chunzhi in the palace. As a result, I found out that there was a young eunuch named Defang in the Sixth Bureau of the Fourth Division, who was very close to Chunzhi. A day after Zhi committed suicide, she also disappeared in the palace for no reason. I ordered people to search the residence of the German side in detail. As a result, I found an informant letter in the interlayer of the German side's quilt, which was written in detail. I understand how Zhang Shuyi and Wang Youcheng cheated in the cold palace."

Duan Wuji took out an envelope from his sleeve, and put it in front of Emperor Longqing with both hands, "Grandpa, please have a look!"

Emperor Longqing took out the letter from the envelope, looked at the words on the letter paper line by line with gloomy eyes, his face became more and more condensed like ice, his chest heaved violently, grabbed the teacup on the table next to him and threw it in front of Wang Youcheng's head, and shouted angrily : "Bastard! Shameless!"

Concubine Lie's father and daughter were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and fell on the ground tremblingly. Only King Lie did not give up. He knelt down beside Emperor Longqing's legs and argued, "Father! A dead maid, a eunuch whose whereabouts are unknown, alone With a piece of paper, how can empty words be evidence? Is it impossible to guarantee that someone has evil intentions to deliberately frame Wang Youcheng?"

Duan Wuji sneered: "Uncle Wu, Wang Youcheng is just a deputy commander of the guards, who would frame him with such a thing?"

King Lie turned his head and stared at Duan Wuji, and said with a sneer: "You have to ask the grandson himself, who doesn't know that Wang Youcheng is my brother-in-law, and Zhang Shuyi was also recommended by me to serve the emperor in the palace. , just enough to make my father despise me, who does the grandson of the emperor think is most beneficial to this matter?"

After listening to King Lie's words, Emperor Longqing seemed to feel a little bit reasonable, his eyes were uncertain, and he looked at Duan Wuji with a bit of suspicion.

The prince, a good old man, came out to make love with Lie Wang, first he said to King Lie: "Fifth brother, don't worry, if this matter really has nothing to do with you, father is always open-minded, so he won't blame you." Then he said to Duan Wuji, " Wuji, do you have any other evidence? This piece of paper really doesn’t explain anything, messing up the harem is a felony, you have to be careful.”

Duan Wuji looked at Lie Wang coldly, "Uncle Wu, are you determined to sing the show to the end? It would be boring to pretend any longer."

"What do you mean? When did I act?" Lie Wang pointed at Duan Wuji angrily with a serious expression on his face, "Do you think I know they are committing adultery but deliberately conceal it for them? Duan Wuji! Don't you Blood spurting!"

"Whether it's blood spitting or putting on airs, Uncle Wu, you know best." Duan Wuji turned his head and shouted to the door, "Bring him in!"

Immediately, two guards came in carrying a stretcher. There seemed to be a person lying on the stretcher. It was covered with a white cloth, and it was impossible to tell whether it was alive or dead.

The guards put down the stretcher and lifted the white cloth to reveal the real face underneath. It was a man wearing eunuch clothes, his eyes were closed, his lips were bruised, his face was covered with mud and dead branches and leaves, and he seemed to have died for a long time. , Others saw the corpse and quickly hid on both sides.

Duan Wuji pointed at the corpse and said: "Grandfather, this corpse is De Fang who has been missing for many days. My people found him in a dry well in the palace. Someone in the palace saw him, and it was the lieutenant General De Fang. Fang threw himself into the dry well!" After finishing speaking, he looked at King Lie again, his sharp eyes couldn't hide the secret joy that victory was in sight, "Uncle Wu, if you really don't know about this, why did you order your cronies to help Wang Youcheng kill someone?"

The muscles on Lie Wang's face trembled, he pointed at Duan Wuji and said loudly: "You...you are talking nonsense!"

Duan Wuji raised his eyebrows calmly, "Aren't you talking nonsense? As long as Wang Youcheng and Fifth Uncle's cronies are tortured, the truth will naturally come out. No matter how bad it is, there will still be Zhang Shuyi?"

Emperor Longqing had already believed Duan Wuji's words, his eyes turned cold, and he kicked hard at King Lie who was kneeling beside his legs, cursing: "Bastard! What a good thing you did! How dare you lie to me! "

"Father is a lesson! My son has not!" Lie Wang got up from the ground, and said to Emperor Longqing in tears, "My son is loyal to my father, I will never dare to deceive my father, my son is wronged! "

Emperor Longqing patted the armrest of the dragon chair vigorously, and said through gritted teeth: "The evidence is so solid, you still dare to say that you are wronged! Then you explain, if you don't have ghosts in your heart, why did you instigate people to kill people?"

Lying on the ground, King Lie looked back at the eunuch's corpse, shook his head repeatedly and said, "I don't know this eunuch at all, and never ordered anyone to kill him!" Suddenly thought of something, pointed at Duan Wuji and said, "Chunzhi Dead, Germany is also dead, who knows what is the relationship between them, you want to convict me with two dead people? It is up to you to decide whether it is black or white. Did you see it with your own eyes? People kill people and throw their bodies away?"

"Fifth Uncle really doesn't cry when he sees the coffin." Duan Wuji looked at King Lie like he was looking at a bereaved dog, and his tone was tinged with sarcasm and pity, "Then I will let Fifth Uncle be convinced and come here." , Call the eunuch in charge of the Fourth Division and Sixth Bureau to come in!"

The chief eunuch walked in shaking like chaff after a while, knelt down on the ground and didn't dare to breathe.

Duan Wuji asked the chief eunuch: "I heard that De Fang is your godson, right?"

The chief eunuch nodded and said, "Yes, yes!"

"Then who does he usually associate with, you, a godfather, must know?" Duan Wuji asked leisurely, "What is his relationship with Chunzhi, the maid of Yongyi Palace?"

The chief eunuch said: "If you come back to the emperor's grandson, Defang and Chunzhi are from the same township, and they have a very close relationship. The villain also heard that the two of them plan to marry each other."

"Uncle Wu, have you heard everything? If De Fang didn't know Zhang Shuyi's secret, why did De Fang disappear after Chunzhi died?" Duan Wuji glanced at King Lie, and then said to the chief eunuch, "You raise your head. Take a look, is the corpse lying on the stretcher your godson?"

The chief eunuch crawled to the side of the stretcher on his knees, and carefully looked at the corpse on the stretcher, but because the corpse was found from a dry well, there was naturally a lot of dirt on his face, and the real appearance was a bit unclear. The chief eunuch identified it for a while, Suddenly he stammered: "No, that's not right, this, this doesn't seem to be the German side!"

Hearing this, Duan Wuji's face, which was still hard to conceal his complacency, froze, and he turned his head and couldn't help saying: "What did you say?!"

The chief eunuch looked at Duan Wuji and shook his head, "Emperor Grandson, this corpse is not from Germany, the villain does not know this person."

The identification of the chief eunuch turned the situation around in an instant, and the moment he gained the upper hand, he became Lie Wang, Lie Wang got up from the ground neatly, pointed at Duan Wuji's nose energetically and shouted: "Duan Wuji! You keep saying that I ordered someone to kill the eunuch and the German side silenced it, but what happened? This corpse is not German side at all, since it is not the German side, why do you kill people to silence it? Are you slandering with lies?!"

The back of Duan Wuji's head suddenly felt cold, a bad premonition came out, he had been ordering people to secretly watch Lie Wang's every move, when Lie Wang's people found De Fang, he thought that Lie Wang had stepped into him the trap.

He has been fighting with King Lie for many years, and naturally he understands the behavior style of his deadly opponent very well. He thought that after King Lie found Germany, he would kill people to help the Wang family cover up this heinous crime, so when his people saw that King Lie's cronies would After a young eunuch in eunuch uniform was thrown into the dry well, it was taken for granted that the little eunuch was German.

Duan Wuji wanted to bring King Lie down with all his heart, and he rushed to see Emperor Longqing as soon as he caught evidence of his murder, so he didn't have time to confirm whether the corpse in the dry well was Defang himself.

Duan Wuji saw the sinister look in King Lie's eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized, it's over, he's been tricked!
