Duanmu Xinmiao said in surprise: "Oh? Who is he?"
Wei Changying said with a smile: "Wait a moment!" Then he turned to call someone, "Invite the people who Jing'er sent yesterday."
Then he explained to Duanmu Xinmiao, "I sent people to look for her earlier, but there was no news. What a coincidence, my niece Jing'er met her yesterday. No, she didn't know how to deal with it, so she sent him away Come over and ask me for advice. I was thinking about it too. What you came to talk about, Xin Miao, gave me an idea - of course, you have to be willing to do it. If not, forget it. "
Duanmu Xinmiao became increasingly confused and waited curiously.
After a while, the two men were pushed into the hall wearing curtain hats. Although I couldn't see their faces clearly, I could tell from their figures that they were all women.
Originally, this place had been cleared before Duanmu Xinmiao wanted to tell Wei Changying what happened. So when he saw them coming in, Wei Changying suggested: "Take off your curtains and hats. We all know each other. Why should we hide when we get here?"
The two men hesitantly took off their curtain hats, and Duanmu Xinmiao looked down with suspicion - their eyes met, and the leader of the two men in the hall immediately turned away his head.
But a brief glance also made Duanmu Xinmiao suspicious, and murmured: "It looks familiar... I must have seen it before, who is it?"
Wei Changying smiled slightly and did not explain her doubts, but made a gesture of invitation to the two people. The leading woman hesitated for a moment before leaning down and sitting down. The other woman stood behind her with her hands lowered, as if she were One master and one servant.
After a while, Duanmu Xinmiao suddenly took a few pictures, pointed at the two people and shouted: "Liu Ruoyu?! You are still alive!"
No wonder she was so shocked. Duanmu Xinmiao, the former Crown Princess Liu Ruoyu who was still Queen Heng even when her husband died, had heard Wei Changying talk about her and her half-sister, the most outstanding direct descendants of the Donghu Liu family in recent years. The female Liu Ruoye is still alive, and it is even inferred that Liu Ruoye is 100% related to the deaths of Zhou Jianxian and Deng Wanwan. However, because they could not be found before, the matter was put aside - there have been so many things in the past two years, The Duanmu family is not stable either. Duanmu Xinmiao has already forgotten the past!
Duanmu Xinmiao would never have thought of her if Liu Ruoyu hadn't gone through several years of wandering and was aging and changed a lot, but still had the same outline as before.
"Ha!" Looking at her shocked look, Liu Ruoyu was very calm, just for a moment.
She ignored Duanmu Xinmiao's intention, but looked at Wei Changying: "Mrs. Wei, you called me, what are your plans?"
"You are my sister-in-law's favorite sister, and Jing'er and Ming'er also respect you very much." When Wei Changying called for someone to bring her and her maid over, he had already thought about it, "Originally, you were bumped into by Jing'er. Jing'er wants me to take you back to Liu's house."
There was a pause at this point.
Sure enough, a bleak smile appeared on Liu Ruoyu's lips: "Liu family? I have always been dispensable in the Liu family. Except for the seventh sister, my biological father doesn't pity me. How can other clan members have the time to care about me at this time?" What about me? Furthermore, I have always been married to Shen Xun. Shen Xun is dead, and there is no news about me until now. I am afraid that if I go back, I will be persuaded to die, right? Especially, Shen Xun was the former prince of Wei! "
"If you don't want to go back to the Liu family, then I will arrange for you." Wei Zhangying said calmly, "But in this case, I'm afraid you won't have the status of a nobleman. Unless by chance, I can get someone who is similar in age and appearance to you, and is lost. The identity of the gentry woman is unknown in the genealogy record.”
Liu Ruoyu said nonchalantly: "Being a member of the noble family has never been a blessing to me. I would rather be born in a poor family, with parents who love each other and are in harmony with each other. It's a pity that I don't have that fate."
Wei Changying nodded and said: "Since you agreed to do this, I will go back and get you an identity. Now that the world is not at peace, the Rong people went south and burned many state capital registers. Now they are being replaced one after another. , which is just right.”
"I appreciate Mrs. Wei's kindness." Unexpectedly, Liu Ruoyu added, "But I still hope you can let me go free."
"What are you going to do if I let you go free?" Duanmu Xinmiao felt that Liu Ruoyu was really confused. One look at her face and what she was wearing, and he knew that even if she survived the past two years and returned to the imperial capital, her life would not be much easier. Go - in this case, Wei Changying is willing to remember Liu Ruoyi's old ways and treat her kindly. Why should he refuse such an opportunity
But Wei Changying knew it well, and at this moment he was reciprocating Duanmu Xinmiao's failure to conceal the fact that Queen Qiu was an informant. He said directly to Liu Ruoyu, "Go and seek revenge on Liu Ruoye? She is now being hidden by Liu Ruowo. You are unwilling to do so." Or maybe you don’t dare to go back to Liu’s house just because you’re afraid that Liu Ruowo will kill you, right? But if you continue to fight alone, how can you defeat Liu Ruoye’s sister and brother?”
Duanmu Xinmiao was stunned, looked at Liu Ruoyu and asked, "Why did Liu Ruoye go back to Liu's house? Didn't you hear about it?"
"Now the Liu family is headed by my cousin-in-law Liu Shili." Wei Changying took a sip of tea and said, "Xinmiao, you also know that he and Liu Ruowo were enemies. But because both sides originally liked them The elders were all dead. Liu Bozhao, the eldest son of the old Marquis Weiyuan, became the head of the Liu family. He was much older than Liu Shili and had more seniority than Liu Ruo. Wo, how can the two of them join hands and get help from outsiders secretly to defeat Liu Bozhao - so Liu Ruowo's status in the Liu family of Donghu is not low now, even if I go and tell Liu Shili. Love, he will definitely not do anything to Liu Ruowo for Ruoyu."
Wei Changying said calmly, "What's the problem for him to take in Liu Ruoye? If Liu Ruoye hadn't been in decline in recent years, he would have been afraid that he would say something bad to the Liu family if he rashly admitted him back to the Liu family - Now that we are discussing rewards, the news that the eleventh lady of the Liu family has been found has already spread!"
Duanmu Xinmiao listened, but before she could say anything, Liu Ruoyu suddenly burst into tears: "So many people died in the fall of the imperial capital, and my father also died. Why is it that Liu Ruowo has nothing to do and is still in charge of the Liu family now? ! Could it be that our mother and daughter owed Zhang Shaoguang and his son enough in this life, and I deserved to see them fall into disgrace? Even though it was wishful thinking for me to seek revenge, I just let it go... Mrs. Wei , I am afraid that I will live up to your expectations, so you should leave me alone, I am afraid that it will drag you down!"
"Third sister-in-law, you just said what I told you, these two people are just right, what do you mean?" Duanmu Xinmiao glanced at her - she was not very familiar with Liu Ruoyu before, and now Liu Ruoyu doesn't pay much attention to her. Although Duanmu Xinmiao felt that Liu Ruoyu was quite pitiful, he was impatient to coax her with good words - Liu Ruoyu might not be able to listen to her now.
So Duanmu Xinmiao simply asked Wei Changying directly.
"Empress Qiu is weak in the palace, and the only eldest prince she gave birth to who is still alive is not popular with the new emperor." Wei Changying made a calm gesture to Duan Mu Xinmiao and said to Liu Ruoyu, "Don't you think Queen Qiu is very pitiful?"
Liu Ruoyu was a little confused. After thinking for a while, she finally realized and said, "You want me to go to Queen Qiu?"
"If you want to take revenge, this is your only chance." Wei Changying said calmly, "Empress Qiu was born in the countryside. She can be a good wife, but she may not be able to be a queen - but she will not be willing to live in the countryside. After three biological sons were killed in the war, the only remaining legitimate son was left out by the new emperor and is still unable to return to the imperial capital to reunite with her! "
"Queen Qiu needs the help of someone who understands the struggle in the palace. She doesn't have such a person around her now. Even if there is, she may not dare to believe it rashly - who knows if it was sent by Shan Guifei to lead her to make mistakes so that she can seize the throne? But you are different."
"You were once the Crown Princess of the previous dynasty, so you are no stranger to palace disputes, right? What's more, Shan Guifei's identity is not just Shan Guifei. Now, no one in the harem is qualified to use you as a secret chamber!"
After Wei Changying finished speaking, he quietly waited for Liu Ruoyu's answer.
Liu Ruoyu was silent for a moment and said: "Then what do you want? I heard that the eldest prince once stayed in the Shen family, and now he is in your natal family again. Do you plan to bet on Queen Qiu and the eldest prince? I have to remind you, Liu Ruowo didn't dare to recognize Liu Ruoye directly, because Liu Ruoye had suffered a lot over the years, and recognizing her rashly would definitely bring shame to the Liu family - but I have been entangled with her all the way, and it's not necessarily clean. Where to go! So it’s not difficult for Queen Qi to check my background.”
"So what if we find out?" Wei Changying asked, "Are you going to turn against the Liu family of Donghu?"
Liu Ruoyu didn't even think about it: "Of course not!"
"Are you obviously partial to the Shen family?"
"... When it comes to Jing'er and Shu Ming, I will definitely... "
Wei Changying shook his head and said: "Just because you are determined to avenge Liu Ruoye, even if the new emperor knows your details, he will probably pretend to be confused. Do you think the new emperor likes us nobles very much?! And you are here! The queen's side - after all, you are serving people. The new emperor wants you to disappear. It's a matter of looks. You have nothing to do with Miss Liu Jiashi - how worried will the new emperor be about you now that you don't even have a serious identity? No!"
Duanmu Xinmiao couldn't help but interjected: "Third sister-in-law, the new emperor loves Concubine Shan, will he tolerate the queen recruiting Liu Ruoyu to deal with Concubine Shan?"
"No matter how much the new emperor loves Concubine Shan, he will definitely love his country even more!" Wei Changying sneered, "Without the country, a beauty like Concubine Shan would be willing to serve him?! With the country, without Concubine Shan, there would still be two concubines. -There are so many beauties in the world! You see that the new emperor doesn't even care about his legitimate son or daughter. How can you know that the new emperor is the kind of person who is bewitched by beauty? Of course, the new emperor likes her the most in the palace, but it will be difficult to say in the future... Besides, why did the new emperor expose Ruoyu's identity? Ruoyu went to the palace just to use the imperial power to show off to Liu Ruowo and Liu Ruoye. Revenge, if she succeeds, the Liu family will suffer. She cannot succeed. It is revealed that she deceived the queen and caused internal strife in the Liu family. What does it have to do with the new emperor? The new emperor is ready to watch the excitement, and maybe he can take advantage of it! "
At this time, Liu Ruoyu also responded calmly: "The new emperor will not put a little girl like me in his eyes. To be honest, I don't think I can help Queen Qiu to the point where the eldest prince she gave birth to is enthroned. The founding kings have always been How many of them are simple? Even though I have been in the palace, I still know my own importance. Emperor Huanzong..."
At this point, Wei Changying interrupted and reminded her: "A few days ago, the posthumous names of the emperors in the late Wei Dynasty were discussed again in the court. Wei Huan changed his posthumous title to Ai, and now he should be called Emperor Wei Ai."
Liu Ruoyu nodded: "Since we are going to the palace, we should remember these things - I wonder what the posthumous titles of Wei Min and Emperor Xingping were?"
"Because of the Dongmen Incident, Shen Bo is now a member of the gentry who hates him, so he was stripped of his status as Wei Emperor and his posthumous title was no longer retained... Emperor Xingping was a complete puppet. The Ministry of Rites was too lazy to bother and didn't mention it at all. Mention it, the new emperor probably forgot about it.”
Liu Ruoyu didn't say anything, but her eyes were dazed for a moment before she continued: "Earlier, Emperor Wei Ai was considered mediocre, but if he has been mediocre for so long, does he know nothing about the harem? It's just that he doesn't want to pay attention to it. "
Wei Changying said with a faint smile: "The current situation of our Shen family is well known to the outside world. How can we get involved in the dispute over the prince? I was just thinking about my sister-in-law's friendship before and wanted to help you. You If you are willing to calm down and live a good life, I will make arrangements for you; you must take revenge, and I can't accompany you, and I don't want you to drag Jing'er into trouble with Shu Ming, so after much deliberation, it is most appropriate to send you to Queen Qiu's side! "
After a pause, he continued, "After all, you also called me Sister Wei back then. In fact, I still hope that you will call me a commoner, or I will discuss with Liu Shili, and you will be the daughter of a distant branch of the Liu family..."
"I'd better go to the palace." Liu Ruoyu said calmly, "No matter what, mother's revenge must be avenged, and she must be avenged, right?" (To be continued)
