The war horse neighed and galloped all the way to Changle Palace.

Wei Qing fell lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the palace with the words Changle Palace written on it.

Changle, Weiyang, one is the emperor's palace, and the other is the palace where the empress dowager lives.

In this Changle Palace, there used to be Empress Dowager Lu who made Liu's clan members tremble with fear, and Empress Dowager Dou who made the three emperors useless. Now, it seems that there is another Empress Dowager Wei who helped the young master ascend the throne.

his sister.

A sister who has always been gentle and has no opinions.

It was hard for him to believe that the soft-spoken elder sister could do this. In his impression, she had always followed the crowd, obediently accepting the arrangement of fate for her.

But now, she killed Gillian, killed Han Yan, governed the country's funeral, and became the Queen Mother, all in one go.

Wei Qing slightly tightened his fingers holding the sword around his waist, with frost in his eyes, and strode into Changle Palace.

The Wei Qing that the palace people usually see is gentle and polite, with a three-point smile on his face forever, making people feel like a spring breeze, where have they seen Wei Qing like this?

Although there was no expression on his face, and his clothes were still the usual general armor, his demeanor had completely changed.

Like Shura killing the gods who emerged from the ashes of hell, it was daunting.

Almost before Wei Qing opened his mouth, the palace people gave way with great winking.

Today, it has changed.

Mrs. Wei became the Empress Dowager Wei, and the cautiousness in the past became cruel.

As her younger brother Wei Qing, naturally there is no need for any pretense of modesty and prudence.

Wei Zifu had already received the news of Wei Qing's return to court, and after handing over the baby Liu Ju to the nurse, she leaned on the door frame and looked out anxiously.

Although she is currently listening to the court as the empress dowager, and the infant Liu Shi has also sat on the emperor's position, but Gillian, who was originally captured into the Tingwei Mansion, was suddenly taken away, and Han Yan and Zhang Tang disappeared together. , How can she feel at ease?

In Chang'an City, there are people who want to take advantage of the water and start a rebellion everywhere. I heard from the palace people that the West Tower has been captured by the rebels. She was very anxious. Conquer the rebels.

But most of the courtiers in the Xuanshi Palace are old foxes who have become fine, and each one is more cunning than the other. Although the prime minister Tian Fu is helping her, Tian Fu's ability to flatter her is at its peak, and she is far behind in playing tricks.

In the past few days, there were rebels outside and courtiers making things difficult for her. She was dizzy with anger, and she only hoped that Wei Qing would arrive in Chang'an City as soon as possible.

Wei Qing holds a heavy army in his hands and is capable of fighting well. Once he returns, it will be just around the corner to wipe out the rebels.

Once the rebel army was leveled, Wei Qing was in Chang'an, and those old officials would not dare to play tricks again, so she dared to sleep peacefully.

The heavy palace gate opened slowly, and Wei Qing in armor walked slowly.

Because of the backlight, Wei Zifu couldn't see his face clearly, she still greeted Wei Qing as before, even more eagerly than before, dragging her long skirt, and hurriedly greeted him: " Qing'er, you are finally back."

When she got close, she saw Wei Qing's expression clearly, as if he was trying to endure something.

Wei Zifu's heart skipped a beat, and his voice couldn't help lowering his voice a little, he stepped forward to hold Wei Qing's arm: "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Qing turned sideways, ignored her, and walked straight into the palace.

Wei Zifu frowned slightly, and quickly figured out the reason - he was probably blaming her for not discussing such a big matter with him.

After trying to understand the crux of the problem, Wei Zifu smiled slightly, waved his hand to make the servants around him retreat, followed Wei Qing into the room, and said, "Qing'er, don't blame my sister for not revealing anything to you, Chen Ajiao and Han Yan are What kind of person?"

Wei Zifu leaned over to pour a cup of tea, did not see the cold look in Wei Qing's eyes, and continued: "One of them is the most important figure in His Majesty's heart, and the other is His Majesty's confidant. If I am not fully sure, how dare I tell others Reveal half a sentence?"

"That A-Jiao has long been pregnant with Han Yan's flesh and blood. His Majesty intends to welcome her as queen. She is afraid that the scandal with Han Yan will be revealed, so she conspires with Han Yan to kill His Majesty by poisoning him first. Your Majesty is here It is decreed to make her the empress, and after His Majesty dies, she will be the Empress Dowager, and as for the child with Han Yan, she will be considered as His Majesty's child, and let that child be enthroned as the emperor."

Wei Zifu took a sip of tea, poured another cup, and said, "They made a good plan and bought the servant who recorded the files in advance. If His Majesty dies, the child in Gillian's stomach will die without proof."

"Fortunately, God bless the big man, let me know about this matter, and this prevents the country surnamed Liu from falling into the hands of outsiders."

After Wei Zifu finished speaking, he brought the freshly poured tea to Wei Qing, and when he looked up, he saw Wei Qing's cloudy face.

This... She has already explained it very clearly, why is he still angry?

Wei Zifu was a little uneasy, and said cautiously: "Qing'er?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as her voice fell, Wei Qing looked over with cold eyes.

She had never seen Wei Qing like this before, his eyes were full of determination, and his sharp gaze was like an extremely sharp long sword, making all filthy thoughts invisible.

Wei Qing's voice penetrated as if rolling on an ice blade: "I don't believe a word my sister said."

Wei Zifu was stirring the handkerchief with one hand, and the teacup in the other hand was full of ripples.

"I just want to ask you, who killed Your Majesty? Princess, where are you now?"

At the end, Wei Qing closed his eyes, his chest heaved slightly, and he said slowly, "Is it life or death?"

After he got the news of the accident in Chang'an City, he rushed back without stopping.

After returning, he realized that Chang'an City was much more chaotic than he had imagined.

Liu Che was poisoned and died. It was verified that Gillian and Han Yan were responsible.

The cruel official Zhang Tang brought the two back to Tingwei's Mansion for interrogation, but at this time the imperial guards of Changle Palace suddenly rebelled, and Chang'an City was in chaos, and it was impossible to tell who was the rebel and who was loyal to the Han.

The whereabouts of Gillian and Han Yan are also unknown at this time.

Whether her whereabouts are unknown, or she was killed by someone with a heart, everything is unknown.

Wei Zifu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Qing'er, Your Majesty was indeed harmed by her—"

"Sister!" Wei Qing interrupted Wei Zifu, looked at her coldly, and said, "I know you are worried that your majesty will leave the mother and keep your child, and that Gillian will take your place, but do you know that everything you have done , how stupid is it?"

Wei Qing had never spoken so harshly before. Wei Zifu stood up and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar younger brother in front of him. His voice was not as soft and deceitful as before: "I am stupid? Who am I stupid for? Not for proof, For you, for our Wei Family!"

Wei Qing said coldly: "The foundation of the Wei family is not stable. How many people in the court are convinced by you? The princes and kings are on one side, waiting for the opportunity to move. How sure are you that you can make the son of the big man sit firmly?" bit?!"

Wei Zifu said: "I have you, I have evidence, isn't that enough?!"

Wei Qing's eyes dimmed, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared.

He shouldn't have any political expectations of his sister.

In his sister's cognition, if there is a general in charge of one side and a prince, then the country can be stable.

Wei Qing slowly closed his eyes, holding the saber in his waist with his fingers.

Wei Zifu's voice suddenly rose at this moment: "I'm tired of being looked down upon by others. I don't want to act according to people's faces anymore. I don't want my children to suffer what I have suffered. Is this wrong?"

"Why can't I do it as a queen? Is it because she came from a nobler background than me? I don't accept it! I am more understanding than her, and I gave birth to a pair of children for His Majesty. I still have you, How can she compare to me?"

Wei Qing opened her eyes, her eyes were unprecedentedly calm, as if she was looking at a stranger: "Because she doesn't need to rely on her heirs, she doesn't need to use her relatives, so she can sit firmly in this great Han country."

Wei Zifu was startled, his figure swayed.

Suddenly, a panicked voice from the guard came from outside the hall: "Queen, queen, something is wrong! The king of Huainan is rebellious!"

Regarding the cause of Liu Che's death, Wei Zifu explained that Gillian had an affair with Han Yan and poisoned Liu Che to death.

However, in the market, it is quietly rumored that Wei Zifu poisoned Liu Che to pave the way for his son Liu Shi, and then blamed the incident on Gillian Han Yan. During the war, he sent people to kill Gillian Han Yan. Tingwei's Mansion will never cause future troubles.

Liu An, the king of Huainan, believed in the second option, raised 30 troops, and headed north all the way under the banner of avenging Liu Che.

Liu Che was dead, Liu Shi was very small, although Wei Qing had military exploits, but he was just a newcomer and his foundation was not stable, so many veteran officials in the court acted on the wind and turned to King Huainan one after another.

Many years ago, after the death of Emperor Hui, his sons were young, and the courtiers thought that they were not the biological sons of Emperor Hui. After killing them all, they welcomed Emperor Wen, who was still acting king, into Chang'an and proclaimed himself emperor.

The courtiers have already done the matter of welcoming princes as emperors once, and it is no big deal to do it again.

The inside should be combined with the outside, but within a few days of Huainan King's army, he went down ten cities and arrived in Chang'an in a few days.

Only then did Wei Zifu realize the seriousness of the matter, panicked, and collapsed limply on the ground.

Warm sunlight poured through the window sill into the hall, and Wei Qing's armor shone with a frightening coldness.

Wei Zifu hesitated for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and finally threw himself on Wei Qing, grabbed Wei Qing's armor tightly, and begged, "Qing'er, do you still remember how I treated you when you first came to Chang'an?" ? Even if I make a thousand mistakes, all mistakes, it is your sister after all, you, you have to help me!"

Wei Qing suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, the tip of the sword pierced the marble floor, and the spike of the sword trembled uncontrollably.

Wei Qing closed his eyes, not looking at Wei Zifu.

He didn't even dare to ask about the whereabouts of that bright and enthusiastic woman, he was afraid that the result would not be what he wanted.

He just thought that she blamed him for coming too late, got angry, and traveled around the world with Han Yan.

"I will help you."

"But sister, you know my temper, and you know what to do when you think about it."

Wei Zifu looked at Wei Qing in disbelief, the cold light on the sword kept piercing her eyes, she broke down and cried, "I really didn't harm His Majesty, and I don't know where A-Jiao went."

"Zhongqing, don't worry about your sister. That glass of poisoned wine was made by Li Yelai."

Wei Qing trembled suddenly and turned around slowly.

Gillian came against the light and smiled at Yan Yan: "If you don't catch Li Yelai again, I'm afraid she will send the little prince to my uncle, King Huainan."

As soon as her voice fell, she was greeted by a warm embrace.

Wei Zifu's crying stopped abruptly, and his expression seemed to be struck by lightning.
