Xin Zhe Treasury account.

A group of young eunuchs stood with their heads bowed and looked nervously at Yuan Chunwang opposite.

Yuan Chunwang sat behind his desk, flipped through the ledger in his hand, and pointed out a few inaccuracies: "Go back and correct it, and show it to me."

The little eunuch hurriedly took it with both hands: "Hey!"

When the little eunuchs had all left, a pretty figure suddenly flashed into the door, and the weak willow seemed to be leaning on the door, smiling and saying, "Brother Yuan, what are you busy with?" "

Yuan Chunwang glanced at her and continued to organize the accounts at hand.

If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain, and Jinxiu walks over with a smile like a flower: "Brother Yuan, Wei Yingluo's death is imminent, why don't you look back at me?"

The hand sorting the account book paused, Yuan Chunwang slowly raised his head, narrowed his eyes and said, "What did you say?"

Jinxiu simply sat down on his table, with her curvy body halfway in front of him, and said with a smile, "Wei Yingluo was accused of killing Concubine Hui, this time, she will never escape! Hey, Brother Yuan, where are you going, wait for me..."

The guard's room.

There is a cup of fragrant tea on the table, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing. In the afternoon, the sun shone on Fu Heng, he turned a page of the military book in his hand, and suddenly a somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded in his ear, as clear as a spring: "Fu Cha Fu Heng, come out!"

He frowned, turned his head to look, and saw a very beautiful young eunuch standing in front of the door, two guards beside him were pulling him, and said sharply: "Who are you, you dare to trespass the guards, and you call Lord Fucha's name!"

"It doesn't matter who I am." Yuan Chun looked at Fu Heng and said coldly, "What matters is... Wei Yingluo!"

Fu Heng raised his hand, and the two guards let go and exited the door.

"You mentioned Wei Yingluo just now?" Fu Heng asked while leaning back in his chair before getting up, "What happened to her?"

"Someone found the villain in the warehouse and identified her as the murderer who cursed Concubine Hui Gui." Yuan Chunwang said, "Now that she has been taken to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I am afraid that she will be executed soon."

Hearing this, Fu Heng said nothing, got up and rushed out the door.

"Do you want to kill Wei Yingluo?" Yuan Chunwang shouted towards his back.

Fu Heng turned around suddenly: "What do you mean?"

Yuan Chunwang sneered and said, "The dignified imperial guards plead for a court lady of Xinzheku. If you say that you have no affair, who would believe it?"

Fu Heng: "You!"

Yuan Chunwang said coldly: "Now this matter should be handed over to the Department of Shen Punishment, why did you go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Fucha's guards should know better than anyone else! It doesn't matter if you go, but you will anger the emperor. At that time, Wei Yingluo will be able to It's a dead end!"

Hearing this, Fu Heng's face turned pale.

Fighting on horseback is his forte, and he is also good at chess, calligraphy and painting, but in the face of such intrigue, Fu Heng is helpless and has no idea. After a while, he asked dryly, "What can you do?"

"The solution is in Changchun Palace." Yuan Chunwang said quietly, "Only one person can save Wei Yingluo."

Fu Heng stared at him for a while, then suddenly turned and left.

He never felt that the road to Changchun Palace was so long, it seemed like a lifetime.

"Sister!" With a plop, Fu Heng rushed into the bedroom, knelt on the edge of the bed, and held the Queen's hand, "Save Yingluo!"

Erqing was feeding medicine to the queen, when he was startled, the medicine in her hand was overturned a little: "Fucha guard, why are you..."

Fu Heng turned a blind eye to her, clenched the Queen's hand, and said earnestly: "Sister! Sister, I know you can hear me. Ye Tianshi said that your body is gradually recovering, but you have been escaping reality and don't want to. Wake up! Do you hear me? Sister!"

The queen lay motionless on the bed.

Fu Heng's voice was even more sad: "Sister! E-niang is crying every day because of your illness, and now she can't see one eye, Ama sighs all day long and has no intention of doing business! And the whole Changchun Palace, everyone is unhappy, A mass of dead water! You used to dote on Wei Wei Yingluo so much, she went to revenge for you, killed for you, and now she is on the verge of desperation, can't you cheer up and help her?"

Hearing Wei Yingluo's name, Er Qing lowered her eyes, her eyes were dark, and then she raised her eyes and said, "Fucha guard, Niangniang has been asleep, she can't hear anything."

"No, she can hear it!" Fu Heng also had no choice, he couldn't save Yingluo, there was only one person in the world who could save Yingluo, this person was right in front of him, he wanted to wake her up no matter what, "Sister, you You can hear it all, why won't you wake up, why lie down! Because you can't face the pain of losing your child again, or you can't face the harem that's vying for you! But how long can you escape, unless you lie in bed all your life , unless you are a living dead for the rest of your life!"

"Fucha guard, don't be like this, no matter how much you say, the lady will..." Er Qing's voice stopped abruptly.

I saw a teardrop condensed in the corner of the queen's eyes, and at the same time, her tail finger also curled up, as if she was having a nightmare, as if trying her best to break free from the nightmare.

"Sister!" Fu Heng was overjoyed and held her hand even harder, as if he wanted to pass on his strength to help her split the nightmare and climb out from it, "Please, wake up, wake up! Only you If you can help her, only you can save her..."

A sigh came from beside him: "You want to save Wei Yingluo?"

Fu Heng was stunned, then turned his head to look over.

"The maiden can't wake up, it's too late." Er Qing put the medicine bowl aside, took out a handkerchief, and wiped off the medicine stains on her hands slowly. , she put down the handkerchief, raised her head and smiled at Fu Heng, "You want to save Wei Yingluo, there is only one way... The way is very simple, I'll tell you."

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the atmosphere was tense.

Wei Yingluo didn't know that Fu Heng and Yuan Chunwang were trying their best to find a way to save her. Even if they knew, they would not wait quietly. She has never been a person who sits and waits for her death. Instead of waiting for someone to save her, it is better to save herself!

Picking up the little wooden figurine from the ground, Wei Yingluo gently fiddled with the knot: "Your Majesty, this is a flat knot."

Concubine Xian: "Ping knot?"

"This kind of knot is easy to untangle, as long as you hold it with both hands and pull hard, it will be easily opened." Wei Yingluo gave a demonstration, and sure enough, the rope quickly loosened and turned into a strand lying in Wei Yingluo's palm.

Madam Liu pursed her lips: "So what?"

"Whether it's embroidery or work, flat knots are easy to unravel, so I never use flat knots. Look!" Wei Yingluo used the rope at hand to tie a knot around the wooden man's neck again, "I like If you don't believe me, you can check all my embroidery and the knots I have come into contact with, what are they like?"

Madam Liu sneered: "Even if the method of tying the knot is different, it doesn't prove that this object has nothing to do with you!"

Wei Yingluo sneered, "Mother Liu, where did the wooden figures come from?"

Madam Liu: "It's in the warehouse where you live!"

Wei Yingluo: "Where is the warehouse?"

Mama Liu: "The warehouse... The small hole in the wall behind the pyre is specially used to put this loathsome thing!"

Wei Yingluo smiled: "Concubine Huigui has been gone for more than two months. If she was really cursed and killed by me, why didn't I dispose of the evidence and keep it for you to check!"

Madam Liu: "You have to ask yourself, I don't know!"

Wei Yingluo: "Okay! Even if I'm so stupid, I just keep the evidence. The wooden figure is hidden in the hole in the wall. In the summer, the warehouse is humid and sultry, the pyre is wet, and the walls are leaking and moldy. This wood is good. Soaked in water, but there is no moisture at all!"

Madam Liu's face became more and more ugly: "This... this... "

Wei Yingluo stared at her: "This is because the little wooden man was put in only recently!"

Hongli always kept his face calm, staring at Wei Yingluo without saying a word.

There was something strange, and Concubine Xian could not pretend not to see it, and immediately asked, "Mother Liu, what the hell is going on!"

Aunt Liu sweated like rain: "This... the servants don't know!"

Wei Yingluo: "It's all because of your own stupidity. You can't handle even this trivial matter. What else can you do! Concubine Xiangui, someone must have ordered this matter, please don't let anyone with ulterior motives go!"

Concubine Xian shook her head: "Take her to the Department of Prudence and Punishment, and interrogate her severely!"

Li Yu: "Hey!"

As soon as Li Yu waved her hand, Madam Liu was immediately pulled away, and she exclaimed, "Your Majesty, spare your life! Concubine Xian, spare your life! The servant is convicted, and the servant is really convicted!"

Wei Yingluo stared coldly at Madam Liu being pulled away.

Concubine Xian: "So, Wei Yingluo has been wronged, Your Majesty, isn't it..."

She thought that the matter was over here, but Hongli sneered: "The crime of cursing and killing the imperial concubine cannot fall on you. As a palace maid in the inner court, is there any affair with the imperial guards?"

Wei Yingluo was startled, and suddenly looked at Hongli.

Concubine Xian was surprised: "Your Majesty, this matter involves the reputation of the maid, it can be big or small, if there is no evidence..."

Hongli said one word at a time: "I saw it with my own eyes! Come on, put her in the Shen Xing Division!"

The eunuchs stepped forward, Wei Yingluo stood up and walked out without hesitation.

Hongli: "Stop!"

Wei Yingluo stopped.

Hongli's face was extremely gloomy, and it was obviously his own life, but now he has a faint expression of regret: "I was plausible just now, why don't you justify yourself now?"

It seemed that as long as she explained, he believed it and set her free.

But Wei Yingluo bowed her head for a moment, and finally replied softly, "...Since the emperor said that he saw it with his own eyes, the servant has nothing to say."

Holding his right hand on the armrest of the chair, blue veins burst out from the back of his hand, and Hongli pretended not to care, and said lightly: "There is nothing to say, take it away!"

Wei Yingluo sighed and was led down by the eunuch. Hongli kept looking at her back, and beside her, Concubine Xian looked down at the back of his blue-veined hand, thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty." Li Yu suddenly trotted in from outside, "Fucha guards are here."

"What is he here for?" Hong Li sneered, "Could it be that he is asking for mercy for that woman?"

He suddenly felt that he had missed his mouth, and immediately closed his mouth and did not speak. What a clever person, Concubine Xiangui pretended not to hear and didn't ask any more questions. He just sat in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a while, and then excused himself to deal with the palace. affairs, and left with Zhener and others.

After she left, Hong Lifang spoke again: "Where is the person, are you still outside?"

Li Yu went back and returned, "I'm still kneeling outside."

Hongli sneered and said almost angrily, "Let him kneel!"

Li Yu hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty... He said there was something important and he had to report it to the Emperor!"

"What's the matter?" Hongli said coldly, "It's not because of that woman, tell him that Wei Yingluo is a mess in the palace, and I will never forgive you lightly!"

Li Yu: "Hey!"

Li Yu was about to withdraw when a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Wait!"

In the inner courtyard of the Mental Cultivation Hall, Fu Heng knelt on the ground. He waited quietly for a long time. He could not wait for Hongli's summons, but instead waited for a pair of bright yellow dragon boots.

"Fu Heng!" Hongli looked at him condescendingly, "Fu Heng, why are you kneeling, and for whom?"

Fu Heng took a deep breath and leaned in front of him: "Your Majesty, the slave is here to ask for the marriage decree!"

"You want to marry Wei Yingluo?" Hongli didn't know why he was so angry that he didn't even want to hear what he said next, so he gave a straightforward answer, "Tell you, this is absolutely impossible, I won't allow it! This time , I'm going to pluck Wei Yingluo's head, so that I can be in the palace!"

Hongli turned around and left, and when he was halfway through, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "The emperor once gave marriage to a servant, how can a servant marry someone else!"

Hongli stopped and turned around slowly: "What did you say?"

"Slave... I would like to obey the will of the Sage." Fu Heng crouched on the ground to hide his pained expression, "Marry the granddaughter of Xitala-Erqing, who came to be protected by the Minister of Punishment!"
