I heard my brother is a tyrant

Guo Heng watched the farce.Judging from his eyes, the person who knocked Wei Qi down was of course intentional, and the reason why he did this may have something to do with that girl.

Since the girl appeared in Xiyuan, someone told Guo Heng.This was the first time Guo Heng saw Ye Chu with his own eyes, and Guo Heng couldn't help being surprised when he saw her for the first time, this girl really looked like her.

He was thinking in his heart that this girl might not be just a relative of Xuanping Houfu.Guo Heng asked someone to check, but nothing was found. This girl seemed to appear out of thin air.

Guo Heng couldn't help but think of that same mysterious Ye Zhi.

Guo Zijin performed well at the May Poetry Contest. Although she didn't win the first prize in poetry, there are very few women who have ever won the first prize in the May Poetry Contest. She wrote two poems about things today, but they were also well received commend.

Back in the other courtyard of the Wangfu in the evening, Guo Heng talked to Guo Zijin about the day's events, Guo Zijin laughed and said: "That woman is really beautiful and lovely, the young master of the Duke of Wei's mansion knows Mu Shaoai well, so it's no wonder he doesn't care about her." Sven pestered him to talk to him."

"The person who knocked him down was probably doing it on purpose. The woman was secretly followed and protected. Her identity should not be that simple." Guo Heng thought, "Brother, I have asked people to investigate these days, but I didn't find this woman." The woman's background. You said she seems to have an older brother, right?"

Guo Zijin nodded and said, "She said it herself, she said that there is an older brother in the family."

"They're all surnamed Ye, and we can't find out their origins." Guo Heng said, "It's such a coincidence."

"Brother suspects that this woman is related to that Ye Zhi?" Guo Zijin thought for a while and said, "From this point of view, it is really possible. But brother, don't get entangled in this matter anymore. It has been so long. Zhuangzi put in so much effort, I don't want it anymore. My brother has great ambitions and is busy with so many things all day long. A Zhuangzi is far less important, so let's just forget about it."

Guo Heng said: "It's just for a Zhuangzi. The younger sister is valuable, and she will be the queen in the future. This woman looks similar to the younger sister, and her identity is unknown. It's not good to let someone take advantage of it. Naturally, I will pay more attention to it." Just a moment. We still can't take it lightly."

The young master of the third room of the Duke of Wei's mansion heard that he fell hard and was carried back by his servants in a sedan chair.People who knew about this discussed in private that the Duke of Wei's mansion is not easy to offend, especially Wei Qi's cousin is none other than the famous Iron Armored Guard Commander Wei Shen.

Wei's family was born as a civil servant, and most of the children in the family were scholars, but there was a high-ranking Iron Armored Guard Commander who abandoned literature and martial arts, and the person who knocked Wei Qi down was probably going to be unlucky.

When Wei Chen saw this cousin, Wei Qi had broken his arm and injured his leg. The old grandmother and third aunt were feeling distressed and told Wei Chen to find out who hurt his cousin and seek justice.Wei Chen always felt that this matter was a bit strange, the people who could appear in Xiyuan were either rich or noble, how could someone intentionally bump into someone, and even take the initiative to provoke a quarrel?

Unexpectedly, the unlucky child who was hit didn't care about anything else at all, so he grabbed Wei Chen and said, "Cousin, you are said to be the commander of the Iron Armored Guard with great powers, please help me find out, which family is that Miss Ye?" Girl, is there a marriage..."

Wei Chen didn't laugh at him when he was young Muai, and asked jokingly, "What girl? You've been hit like this, but you still miss her girl."

Wei Qi said with a dreamy face: "It's Miss Ye. I have never seen such a beautiful woman. She is so unconventional. It really makes people fall in love at first sight. Cousin, you must help me find her. I heard that she may be a relative of the Xuanpinghou Mansion..."

After listening to his description carefully, Wei Chen shivered inexplicably.

Wei Chen hurriedly called someone with a dark face: "Come here, send him back to the capital... no, no, let's send him back to his hometown in Linzhou, send him back to his hometown in Linzhou, and tell him to stay for a while !"

Seeing the emperor the next day, after finishing his business, Xie Dan casually asked Wei Chen, "I heard that your cousin was injured yesterday, how is he doing now?"

Wei Chen's face was embarrassing, and he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, that cousin of the minister is young and ignorant, and lacks discipline. Anyway, he has a little flesh injury, so let him suffer. The minister has sent him back to his hometown in Linzhou. Tell people to watch him study hard, he should read more sage books at this age."

Xie Dan smiled playfully, and said, "It's good to read more sage books."

"Yes, I want him to concentrate on his studies." Wei Chen quickly changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, I have recently found out about the county magistrate Jiayi."

Xie Dan hummed and motioned for him to talk.

"The minister found out about her adoptive parents. After Guo Zijin recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan, her adoptive parents received a large amount of silver from the Zhongwang Mansion, and then moved away. They said they moved to Bingzhou City. The minister sent Some people searched almost the entire Bingzhou, but found nothing."

"Recently, the minister's people were investigating another matter in Maozhou, and accidentally found an old local case that was very suspicious. Two years ago, there was a murder case in Maozhou. A family of five, the husband, wife and three children in the family were killed late at night. Find the murderer. The family name is Yang, and they moved here from Bingzhou, and the family size and time are also correct. After investigation and verification, this family should be Guo Zijin's adoptive parents."

"According to the neighbors, the man in this family once bragged to the neighbors when he was drunk, saying that another daughter became the daughter of the Marquis Mansion and would lead the family to prosperity and wealth in the future." Wei Shen paused and said, "I have already Sending people around this family to track down, I suspect that they may actually be Guo Zijin's biological parents."

"Have you found anything?"

"There are some clues." Wei Chen said, "People don't always pop out from the cracks of rocks. Who doesn't have three relatives, as long as there are, the armored guards will always find him."

***

Only four days later, the anxiety in the empress dowager's heart finally came to fruition.

The Chu family got the words of the Empress Dowager, and they restrained all the children these few days, and they were not allowed to go out and cause trouble.However, the emperor had no intention of attacking the Chu family's children at all. Only four days later, the armored guard politely came to the door and asked Cheng Enhou's son, Chu Congchan's father, Chu Huan, to assist in handling the case.

Chu Huan never came back, and the two eyeliners he planted in the palace were dug out.Spying on the imperial court is a serious crime.

Spying on Yuqian is just like what Chu Congchan said, the aristocratic families in the capital, princes and dignitaries, who can not pay attention to Yuqian quietly.This matter is nothing more than a well-known, if it is just a care, don't use it to do something that violates taboos, the emperor is too lazy to care about it, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Well, maybe there will be a "won my heart".

But the key to this matter is whether you pay attention to the emperor to serve the emperor loyally, and whether the emperor wants to care about you.Once a taboo is violated, thunder, rain and dew are all blessings from heaven, and under the power of heaven, it is a capital offense.

The Empress Dowager did not recover from the news for a long time.Moving so quickly, it can only show that Chu Huan's two eyeliners have already been controlled by others.

Hidden but not revealed, it is just pressing a chess piece, and when it wants to attack, it is a very useful steel knife.

The Empress Dowager suddenly realized that perhaps the emperor had already laid out the chess moves for her in advance. The moment she sent Eunuch Liu to Yuqianzhai to summon Ye Chu, she started this move by herself, even including Ye Chu. It should have been expected by the emperor that Chuhui was brought to the palace in a grand manner, and she knew about the leaked news.

Chu Huan is the eldest son of the Chu family, the son of Marquis Cheng En, and the nephew of the Empress Dowager. If he falls, the Chu family will also suffer heavy losses.That night, the Empress Dowager sat alone until late at night in the small altar behind Funing Hall, sighing long and long.

As soon as this incident came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.The emperor decreed that Chu Huan should be handed over to the Judiciary for trial and questioned according to the law.

This was also expected by the Empress Dowager, the emperor tried and questioned the crime according to the law, so naturally he had to wait for all parties to intercede, wait for the Chu family to bow their heads and make concessions, and then let the Empress Dowager intercede.When the sincerity of the pleading is reached, the emperor will pardon and pardon him, show both kindness and power, deter the Chu family, and take into account the feelings of all parties. This is the way to be a king.

The Empress Dowager didn't think that Xie Dan would really kill Chu Huan.With her around, the emperor must show some sympathy, if there is no sympathy, there will be fear, so it shouldn't be so embarrassing.It was impossible for Chu Huan to retreat completely, and it was unlikely to be possible again in the future, but at least according to the prediction of the Empress Dowager, the eldest son of the Chu family could still save his life.

So as soon as the incident happened, Chu Congchan took off her hairpin and pleaded with her father, crying and knelt outside the Qingliang Hall. The queen mother also came forward to intercede in person, and never mentioned the matter of asking Ye Chu to visit her again. Instead, she sent a personal nun to Yuqianzhai that day, and gave Ye Chu a reward, saying that it was the emperor A pair of gold-studded ruby ​​hairpins worn by the Queen Mother when she was young.

To enter the backyard of Yuqianzhai, one can only pass Xie Dan's residence in front.Mammy came in the afternoon this time, Xie Dan happened to be here, and when she heard that the Empress Dowager's reward had arrived, she took it herself, checked it and asked someone to lock it in the warehouse.

According to the rules, Ye Chu should go to the Palace of Funing to thank her in person, but no one told her about it at all, and of course she would not go, and the Empress Dowager didn't care about it at all this time.

This routine seems to be a matter of course.However, ten days later, the three divisions tried and finalized the case, and the emperor decreed that Chu Huan, the son of Marquis Cheng'en, would spy on the imperial court, hide evil intentions, beheaded according to the law, and sent to the prison to wait for the knife in autumn.

Xie Dan didn't know what the Empress Dowager would do next.His imperial grandmother can also be regarded as an unprecedented and unique woman in this dynasty. Counting the third prince of Emperor Yanshi who only served as emperor for three months, the empress dowager became the queen from a concubine who was drafted into the palace. She is already the queen of one dynasty, the queen dowager of two dynasties, and the empress dowager of two dynasties. She has more than just a false name in her hands.

In short, the imperial front and the armored guards have been tense these past few days, and even the [-] Gyeonggi Garrison Battalion at the foot of the mountain has received orders to loosen outside and tighten inside, and quietly strengthen their guard.

Xie Dan was thinking, in case there is any change in the palace, don't scare the child, should I find a place for the little girl to hide first.But I changed my mind and gave up. It is not easy to explain to her when I send her elsewhere. He has been on the throne for almost three years, and his foundation is already deep. He is not that weak. A shrewd person like the emperor's grandmother should not want to make money with him. See you.

Therefore, in the past few days, Xie Dan handed over some unimportant government affairs to his confidantes. After dealing with important political affairs every day, he nestled in the fast before the rain, concentrated on nourishing his energy, and waited and watched the changes.

He stayed at home, Ye Chu was very happy, and the weather was so hot these past few days that people didn't want to go out, so the little girl also stayed at home and was lazy every day.She has learned how to dye her nails with impatiens flowers recently, so she came to show Xie Dan complacently.

"Brother, do you look good?"

The little girl's ten white and tender fingers were like onion roots, and her ten fingernails were dyed different shades of red, making her little hands more tender and lovely.

Xie Dan pinched her nails and looked at them one by one, jokingly said: "Who taught you, you can't become a teacher, why are the colors different?"

"Oh, what do you know, this is dyed with impatiens of different colors, how interesting."

Xie Dan leaned on the bedside to read a book, Ye Chu sat on the bedside and grabbed his hand to play with.Xie Dan opened the scroll and looked at it. The little girl put his hands on his knees, and was holding a pair of small silver clips, applying the crushed purple-red flower paste in a small porcelain dish to his nails.Xie Dan quickly wanted to pull his hand back.

"Oh, don't move, it's broken." As soon as he moved, Ye Chu grabbed his hand back, told him to move like this, the flower mud got out of the nails, she quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it clean.

Xie Dan felt a little helpless, looking at his palm, which was twice as big as hers, he simply read the book by himself, and handed over the other hand to let her play with it.

She made it very patiently, carefully applied flower paste to each nail, wrapped it with hemp leaves, and wrapped it with silk thread.Ye Chu wrapped his five nails one by one, and said with a smile, "Don't move, wrap it for a while, and the color will go up."

Xie Tan asked: "Is it okay to wash it? If you make it like this, if your brother goes out and people can see him, he probably won't have to see anyone."

Ye Chu giggled and said, "I'll just try the color, and I'll wipe it off for you later, won't it be enough?"

"Can you wipe it clean?"

"It's easy to wipe." Ye Chu said, "There is alum in it, just wipe it with a handkerchief dipped in spirits."

In the leisurely time of setting sun and sunset, the little girl played happily all afternoon.After dinner, the two of them went for a walk by the lake to enjoy the coolness, digested food, and then went back to wash and go to bed.

However, I don't know whether it was intentional or I forgot, or I didn't clean it carefully. The next day, the emperor of Qingliang Palace called the cabinet ministers and the six ministries to discuss matters. and two residual red nails on the little finger.

The old prime minister almost doubted his eyes, and quickly used his movements to cover up and looked carefully. It was indeed two red nails.

The old prime minister couldn't help but widen his eyes. The emperor has been on the throne for almost three years, and he hasn't entered the harem, and he hasn't heard of any concubine. How come he has two red fingernails... The old prime minister almost spit out a mouthful of old blood .

Xie Dan found that the old prime minister's expression was not right, and raised his hand following his gaze, his face froze immediately.The rest of the people also noticed this, and seeing the two red nails on the emperor's hand, they couldn't help but have complicated expressions.

The old prime minister stammered: "Your Majesty, you... you are a man, you can't... you can't..."

Xie Dan was so embarrassed that he died, but his face remained normal, he raised his hand to look at it generously, and said with a faint smile: "My little daughter is naughty, I didn't notice it for a while, all the ministers laughed at her."

The old prime minister obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and then he paused in his heart: Well, the youngest daughter's family, which youngest daughter's family?There are only two concubines in the palace, and I haven't heard of anyone who the emperor is close to recently.

The old prime minister glanced at Wei Guogong suspiciously. At this moment, Wei Guogong lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes with a blank expression on his face. He wished he could jump up and prove his innocence. His niece who was a concubine was originally a fake, not his niece at all. It should have nothing to do with Concubine Wei, and it has nothing to do with their Duke of Wei!

Xie Dan went back to catch Ye Chu and wanted to clean her up, but the little girl said coquettishly, maybe she didn't clean it carefully, and she just went to have a snack and forgot, it really wasn't intentional.

"Didn't clean it carefully? Can you believe me?"

Xie Dan stretched out a finger to scratch her neck, Ye Chu was so frightened that he crawled into his arms and hid, shrinking his neck and begging for mercy: "Hahaha brother, please forgive me, I really didn't mean it."

The Empress Dowager was also calm, and on the evening of the third day after Chu Huan was ordered to be imprisoned for interrogation, the palace servants came to report that the Empress Dowager hadn't eaten for one night or two days, and it was useless to persuade him.

For benevolence, filial piety and righteousness, the empress dowager doesn't eat, so Xie Dan has to hurry to see,

Xie Dan entered the Funing Hall, but the Empress Dowager was not in the hall, she was alone in the small Buddhist hall behind the main hall.

Chu Congchan knelt on the ground and wept, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has locked herself in the small Buddhist hall for two whole days, and no one is allowed to enter to serve her. Except for Nanny Lu who went in to deliver some tea a few times, the Empress Dowager has been keeping her I haven't had a meal. I haven't even seen my concubines several times."

Xie Dan thought about the Empress Dowager's move, and reprimanded him: "Why did no one report to me when such a big thing happened? The Empress Dowager's health is important, how do you, the whole palace, serve you? What are you doing?"

The palace people knelt down to plead guilty, and the mother said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Empress Dowager is also anxious and depressed, and she is too worried. Please wait here for a while, and the slaves will report to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager sees no one else, but she still wants to see you."

The mother retreated with a few palace servants, except for a small servant who was accompanied by Xie Dan, only Chu Congchan and two palace maids were left to serve the tea.

Ice mirrors were placed in the hall, the flower windows were lowered and the door curtains were half-closed, and the hall was very cool. In the brass censer, the Buddhist incense that the Empress Dowager used to use all the year round was burning, and the fragrance wafted up.Chu Congchan's eyes were a little red and swollen. It seemed that she had cried a lot recently, and she didn't dare to make a mistake when she saw Xie Dan, so she just sat aside silently with her head bowed.

Xie Dan sat for a cup of tea, but Mammy hadn't spoken yet. He felt a certain heat rising from his body, his breathing became unstable, and the strange feeling became more and more obvious. Xie Dan glanced at Chu Cong next to him. Chan and the two beautiful maids, Chu Congchan and the two maids were also blushing at the moment, with a look of unsteady breathing, Xie Danteng stood up.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." Seeing him stand up, Chu Congchan suddenly rushed over, Xie Dan instinctively dodged, Chu Congchan knelt on the ground and grabbed the hem of his robe, desperately grabbed him, and cried out , "Your Majesty, I beg you, I beg you to bypass my father, please spare him from dying, Your Majesty, please..."

Xie Dan's breathing became more and more rapid, he pulled hard and tore the piece of robe with a hissing sound, Chu Congchan grabbed the torn fabric and threw himself violently, wanting to hug his leg, Xie Dan kicked her away , grabbed the teacup on the small table and threw it down.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty calm down, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?" The servant's breathing was rapid and his eyes were blurred, and he didn't know what happened all of a sudden.With the sound of the teacup shattering, the four servants guarding the door wanted to come in to check, but they were dragged away by the eunuchs in the Empress Dowager's Palace and started fighting.

Wei Linbo rushed in at this moment, frowned when he saw the situation in the hall, reached out and pressed on Xie Dan's pulse door, but Xie Dan felt that her two cool fingers touched the skin of his wrist and caused another shock. A kind of discomfort, he raised his hand and waved Wei Linbo away, stared at Chu Congchan coldly with a frown and said: "Chu Congchan, do you dare to poison me?"

After he came, he didn't even take a sip of tea, how did he get this poison?

Wei Linbo said: "Your Majesty, this is not poison, this is probably an aphrodisiac."

As she spoke, she picked up the teapot and extinguished the incense in the incense burner, picked up the chair and threw it casually, smashing the low-hanging flower window.Xie Dan walked out quickly without saying a word.The servant at the door got rid of the entangled eunuch and hurried over to help him.

Xie Dan only felt that anyone who touched him at this moment was very uncomfortable, he threw his arm away from the support of the servant, and when the mountain wind outside the hall blew, he seemed to feel refreshed.

"It was reported that Fang Qing escorted Wei Chen and Zhang Wenyu into the palace, sealed off the palace, ordered Wei Chen to bring 500 armored guards into the palace, and searched the Palace of Funing and Concubine Shu's Yiqiu Palace." Xie Dan's face was grim, his brows were furrowed. , walked forward quickly, issued a series of orders, and asked in a cold voice, "Wei Linbo, how can I get rid of this incense?"

Wei Linbo chased after him with a worried expression on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, this incense...is not poisonous, and I'm afraid it's hard to cure."

Xie Dan paused, but turned his head and said: "It's poison, you remember, I was poisoned! Send the imperial physician into the palace."

Wei Linbo was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized that Xie Dan had already walked away quickly, he said, "Wei Linbo, pass on my word of mouth, and try your best to block Funing Palace first."

Xie Dan walked all the way with a cold expression, looked at the two remaining servants behind him, and gave another order: "Call Ye Hui."

Hearing the summons, Ye Hui rushed over, stood a few steps away and looked at Xie Dan blankly, in the twilight, Xie Dan's face was flushed, his brows were wrinkled, and his expression was not quite right.

Xie Dan tried his best to suppress his restless breathing, and said, "Ye Hui, go and hide the girl."

Ye Hui was at a loss for a moment: "Hide the girl? Your Majesty, why, where did you hide it?"

Xie Dan said: "Send her out of the palace, and go to Xuanping Hou's other courtyard for a few days, and bring all the staff, Han Ziyun should know what to do."

"Oh!" Ye Hui agreed at a loss, and looked at Xie Dan worriedly.

"Remember, protect the girl every step of the way these two days, and no one is allowed to get close to the girl." Xie Dan frowned, took a deep breath, and said coldly, "Including me!"

Xie Dan secretly clenched his fists in vain, he didn't think about anything at the moment, only that little cutie was in his mind, his whole body, every pore, was clamoring to find her, rubbing her into his arms fiercely .
