Back at Prince Jing's mansion, Wei Luo poured all the spoils he won today onto the red sandalwood embossed lion playing ball pattern round table, including silver ingots, gold ingots, jade pendants, bracelets, and a few pearls. Gao Wan'er is lavish, most of the things here belong to her. Wei Luo rewarded the gold and silver to the servants of Zhangtaiyuan, the jasper fish to the gold thread, the jade bracelet to Bai Lan, and the remaining few pearls. Seeing that the color was not bad, Wei Luo gave the golden thread Said: "Order someone to grind it into powder, it happens that my pearl jade powder is almost used up."
Jin Lu nodded, glanced at Zhao Jie quietly, saw that his complexion was not good, and he obviously had something to say to Wei Luo, so he retreated tactfully: "After the grinding is finished, the maid will bring it to the princess for a look. "
Wei Luo said yes. The maids all went down, and she looked at Zhao Jie at the side, thought for a while, and hugged him from behind, "Are all the things Li Xiang said today true?"
Zhao Jie held her hand, whirled softly, his expression was still not very good-looking, "What did she tell you?"
Wei Luo wrapped his hands around his neck, pressed his face against his, and spoke in a calm order: "King Ruyang has a conspiracy and hid weapons privately. He was searched by the prefect of Xuzhou. His Majesty wants to send him out." He paused and blinked. Blinking his eyes wide, "Li Xiang said that you framed King Ruyang, and that I ordered you."
Zhao Jie pulled her in front of him, held her small face and asked, "Do you think this king intentionally wronged him?"
Wei Luo's eyes were clear and piercing, clear and clear, clearly showing an innocent and harmless face, and his small mouth said so ruthlessly: "Prince Ruyang has a heavy army in his hands, and he is colluding with the fifth prince. Your majesty has long been afraid He killed him, but he didn't know how to restrain himself, and he was so big that he was a big bully. Even if you didn't deal with him, His Majesty would deal with him. Even if he was wronged, so what? If I ordered this, I still think it's a light crime. The Li family and the five princes will kill them all in one go."
Talking too much. Wei Luo pursed her lips, and glanced at Zhao Jie guiltily, her dark eyes rolling wildly, "I just said it casually, big brother, don't take it to heart."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jie showed a smile, rubbed her earballs, and said with some relief: "My Ah Luo is really smart."
Wei Luo looked at him, "Then King Ruyang is really innocent?"
"No." Zhao Jie held her hand, playing with her fingers with great interest. Wei Luo's fingers were slender and lovely, each one was like new bamboo shoots after the rain, white and tender, and the ten fingernails were pink and moist, which made people feel happy just looking at them. "It is true that Li Zhiliang hid the weapons, but he was doing things for the fifth younger brother, and this time he also took the blame for the fifth younger brother. The father is not a fool, so he naturally knows who is behind it. You will also be implicated. Father entrusted this matter to me because he hoped that I would handle it fairly and without bias."
Wei Luo looked up at him, "Then what do you want to do?"
Zhao Jie slightly bent his lips, and Wumu looked at her quietly, "If you dare to touch my Ah Luo, they will naturally pay for their lives."
Within a few days, the case of King Ruyang's private possession of weapons came to fruition.
King Ruyang committed an unforgivable crime. He deprived all military power, took back the Great Seal, and beheaded him at Nanchang Gate on South Street seven days later. As for King Ruyang's wife and children, because of the relationship with Princess Gaoyang, they dealt with it as appropriate. The children were demoted to common people. The male members of the family were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for generations, and they were not allowed to serve as officials.
When Princess Gao Yang got the news, she fell down on the chair, her expression was empty and she was speechless.
Standing beside Zhao Xuan, Li Xiang burst into tears, and murmured: "How could it be... How could Daddy..."
That day, she wanted to go to the palace to see Empress Chen, but Empress Chen was unwell and did not meet her. She thought about going there again tomorrow, but she did not expect that the disposal of the Ruyang Palace had already been announced.
Mr. Xu, Minister of Dali Temple, led the people from the Criminal Department to move all the valuables from the Ruyang Palace. Before leaving, Mr. Xu bowed to Princess Gaoyang and said, "Your subordinates are also obeying orders. Don't worry about it."
Li Xiang couldn't understand Dali Siqing's face, so he picked up the colorful bell on the table of the Eight Immortals and threw it at it: "Get lost!"
After all, Dali Siqing was used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he didn't have much expression on his face. After registering things one by one, he led the people from the Ministry of punishment to leave.
Li Xiang fell beside Princess Gaoyang's legs, and asked helplessly, "Mother, what should I do, is Daddy really going to be beheaded..."
At this time Zhao Xuan was also in a state of desperation, he did not expect the emperor to be so cruel, and he really wanted to drive the Li family to extinction without caring about the relationship between siblings. She looked up at the door, Li Song stood there with a dull expression, eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. "Songer..."
Before the cry was over, a maid in a green skirt rushed over and said, "Ma'am, it's too bad, the young mistress committed suicide!"
The tree falls and the hozen scatter.
Princess Gao Yang felt her eyes darken and she passed out.
When he was rescued, Wei Zheng was out of breath. Wei Zheng's death was not caused by King Ruyang's incident, but because his heart was ashamed and he couldn't live anymore. This incident was just the last straw that broke the camel's back. Since she married Li Song, she hasn't lived a day of comfort. Li Song has never touched her, but he often makes her serve several men at the same time. Except for being Li Song's cronies on the wedding night, they were the guards of the mansion at other times. Those cronies never showed up again. I don't know if they were dealt with by Li Song or what. On the contrary, it was the guards, all of them big and small, who never knew how to be sympathetic and sympathetic, and they were heavy and ruthless when they did it. Wei Zheng's body hardly had a good spot. In addition, she is not married to Mingmei, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law look down on her. Li Xiang often ridicules her. Wei Zheng's life in Ruyang Palace is simply unhuman. She finally realized how naive she was before, thinking that she could control the overall situation , host Zhongfeeding, from the present point of view, it is just a joke.
Li Song stood outside the main room door, looked at the motionless woman lying flat on the ground, frowned and said, "How?"
Yinlou, Wei Zheng's dowry maid, wept bitterly, "Miss, Miss has passed away..."
At such a critical juncture, Wei Zheng still made trouble. So what if you're dead? Do you expect anyone to take pity on her? Li Xiang didn't feel it at all, instead she felt bored: "As a maid, why don't you take a good look at it? The family matters have not yet been resolved, and my father's life and death are uncertain. Now that she is dead, do you still expect us to bury her in a glorious way?" He took a sip, turned and left.
Li Song was even more indifferent, he only glanced at it and said: "Please ask someone to make a coffin, let's bury it."
Now the Li family can't protect themselves, and whether they can keep the family is a problem. Even if Wei Zheng dies, it won't cause any disturbance. People would only think that Wei Zheng couldn't bear the blow and was unwilling to accept the decline of the Li family, so he died.
Leaving Wei Zheng aside, Princess Gaoyang and Li Xiang begged to see Empress Chen the next day, and waited outside Qingxi Palace for half an hour before Empress Chen ordered them to be summoned in.
Today is different from the past, even if Princess Gaoyang is angry, she can't show it casually, she respectfully bowed to Empress Chen, then dragged Li Xiang to kneel on the ground with a "plop", pleading Said: "Sister-in-law, please intercede with Brother Huang and spare his sister-in-law this time!"
Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, at this time, they know how to make connections. Empress Chen sat on a chair carved with grape patterns made of iron wood, she didn't ask them to get up, she just said: "What is the eldest princess doing? Wouldn't it be a joke for people to see it."
Princess Gaoyang could not kneel down, and she burst into tears and said: "Although King Ruyang said that he was delusional and made a big mistake for a while, he is His Majesty's sister-in-law after all, and he has two children under his knees. If he is gone, how will I be orphaned and widowed?" Seeing that Empress Chen did not respond, my heart sank. I am afraid that Empress Chen would not accept this, and hurriedly said: "I beg your majesty to intercede in front of your majesty. As long as you can spare King Ruyang from death, I will stand up and testify. Liuli's poison..."
"Eldest Princess." Empress Chen's eyes froze, and she interrupted her, "The harem is not allowed to participate in politics. You should be clear about this, it is useless for you to beg me. At this time, Changsheng has been handling it, and his decisions have never been made by others. changed."
