Wei Lan listened to Xie Zichen's words, lowered her eyes, and responded in a low voice.
Although she looks like a rambunctious and full of love talk, but when she actually wants to say something serious, she is not as eloquent as Xie Zichen at all. She's better at making it out, going to do more for this person.
Mother said that a woman should learn to hide things in her heart, like or dislike, real money, that is the most important thing.
So over the years, facing those men, she has never been stingy with money and power. Who she likes and who she loves depends on how much she can give. However, Xie Zichen needed too little from her. What she wanted to do, she felt powerless, and she was not good at speaking the rest of the words.
So she could only hug him to express her feelings.
Xie Zichen laughed lowly, he knew Wei Lan's temperament too well, this was already her most open expression.
He bowed his head and kissed her, and said gently: "I'm going to Qingzhou. Wait for me to come back."
Wei Lan responded without saying anything.
Xie Zichen stood up, Xie Tong had already packed his luggage, and Xie Zichen quickly left for Qingzhou.
After Xie Zichen went to Qingzhou, Wei Lan immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to forward it to the Jiang family.
The Jiang family is the queen's mother family, and Wei Lan was handed over to the Jiang family. In fact, anyone who cares will know that it is for the queen.
Ran Mo couldn't help being curious: "My lord, we don't have any friendship with the queen?"
"No friendship," Wei Lan brushed off her sleeves and said with a smile, "Then build a friendship."
The secret guard stared at Changxin Hou's mansion, and Wei Lan didn't let Ran Mo deliberately cover it up, so she was followed as soon as she left the Hou's mansion. After the letter arrived at Jiang's house, the secret guard immediately reported it to the palace. When Su Bai heard the news, his face turned pale with anger.
Wei Lan stretched her hand too far. When she was still young, she was a three-sided spy for him, Su Cheng, and the emperor. Now she has something to do with the Jiang family. It is obviously the same as before. Long Zhigong establishes his own status.
Su Bai didn't like the empress, he didn't like the Jiang family, so even though the Jiang family gave birth to the eldest son, he never made the eldest son the heir apparent. He has always favored Concubine Wang, and now that Concubine Wang is pregnant, he simply did not like the empress and the eldest prince, and now knowing that the empress and Wei Lan are involved, he was so angry that he re-entered the Weiyang Palace where the empress was. I lost my temper over some trivial matter.
He's not a fool, so naturally he wouldn't directly say that he was displeased with Wei Lan, even if he said it, the queen would definitely not recognize it, so he could only lash out at the queen with trivial matters, and the queen was pissed off by him for no reason for a while, Gritting his teeth, after he left, he turned the whole table over, and the maid hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is just unhappy..."
"Unhappy?" The queen sneered: "I think he is venting his anger for his noble concubine! Now the noble concubine is pregnant with a dragon seed and is about to give birth. How can he see our mother and child?"
The maid did not dare to speak, and was still abused by the queen.
On the other hand, the Jiang family received a letter from Wei Lan that didn't write anything.
Jiang Zhengfan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, looked at the letter and asked his eldest son, "Ah Luo, what do you mean by Wei Lan?"
Jiang Luo shook his head: "Wei Xiang's mind is unfathomable, I can't guess it."
"That's all," Jiang Zheng sighed, "I'll ask her tomorrow."
"No." Jiang Luo immediately said: "Now that Wei Xiangzheng is under house arrest, if father goes at this moment, I'm afraid it will displease His Majesty."
Jiang Zheng thought for a while, nodded, and put the matter aside.
Wei Lan was imprisoned at home by Su Bai, but she was at ease, raising flowers and amusing birds every day, very comfortable. Her accounts have always been made into two sets, and only she owns the inner account, while the outer account is done seamlessly, and nothing can be found out at all.
She checks herself once a year, and based on her understanding of Wang Xi, not to mention that Wang Xi doesn't want to check carefully, even if she really checks carefully, she won't find anything.
As long as Wei Xiong did a clean job in Qingzhou, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But even if nothing can be found out, the seemingly harmonious relationship between her and Su Baiming as a monarch and minister has come to an end. Xie Zichen rushed to Qingzhou, although he asked for sick leave, but Su Bai knew in his heart what Xie Zichen was going to do, which means that even if Qingzhou couldn't find out anything, Su Bai also knew clearly in his heart that her accounts were very good. Eighty-nine is problematic. But in the past, probably only Su Bai thought so, but now probably everyone thinks so.
Fortunately, Wei Lan doesn't care what other people think. The aristocratic family is so dirty, as long as there are no problems in the big festivals, no one will take such trivial matters to heart. Which one's accounts are dragged out, isn't it full of holes
The one who was angry was only Su Bai.
As long as there is no evidence and Wei Lan cannot be punished, Wei Lan doesn't care.
It's just that what was originally planned to be done slowly, must be paid close attention to.
After Wei Lan spent a leisurely period of time, Xie Zichen rushed back. During this period, the Xie family sent someone to look for Xie Zichen once, but Wei Lan stopped him. So when Xie Zichen came back, Xie Zichen was invited over.
When the news came, Xie Zichen was cleaning his hands, Wei Lan was wearing a baggy gown, with her hands folded in her sleeves, leaning against the door.
Xie Zichen heard Xie Tong report the names of the people who came to invite him, and said, "I'll go right away."
"Run out as soon as I get back," Wei Lan sighed, "Let Madam and I stay alone in the empty room, I'm so lonely."
"Don't make trouble." Xie Zichen ate and drank softly, walked in front of Wei Lan, and said in a low voice: "Come back to feed you at night."
Wei Lan smiled, stood on tiptoe, leaned against Xie Zichen's ear, and also suppressed her voice: "It's not sure who feeds who."
Xie Zichen raised his eyebrows, suppressed his urge to fight immediately, and turned to go to Xie's house.
As soon as he arrived at Xie's house, he saw all the elders of Xie's family among the things, and Xie Zichen understood what they meant for him to come back.
Xie Zichen paid respects to everyone, the elders of the clan sighed, and said kindly: "Zichen, I called you back because there is something important to discuss with you." "
"The position of the head of the family, we have discussed it, and it is up to you."
The Xie family had been annoyed for a long time before deciding on this matter. Originally, the Xie family could not settle down with Xie Zichen, but after Xie Zichen directly took care of the second room clean and beautiful, the elders of the Xie family felt that it might not be a good thing to hand over the Xie family to Xie Zichen.
Xie Yulan was too weak, and Xie Zichen was too strong. If Xie Yulan became the head of the family in the future, he would definitely not be able to control Xie Zichen. If other people saw that Xie Zichen didn't listen to Xie Yulan's words and followed them anyway, the whole Xie family would be in chaos.
It's better to simply hand over the Xie family to Xie Zichen.
After thinking about it for a while, Xie Zichen understood what Xie's family meant. He cleaned up the second room, but it became the decisive factor for him to be the head of the family.
For a moment, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, thinking that Xie Xue also used her own future to make him the head of the Xie family.
"Then if I don't have children all my life..." Xie Zichen hesitated: "The elders will mind."
"We've already thought about this." Everyone knows about him and Wei Lan: "The relationship between you and Wei Xiang cannot be broken. If it is true that none of you can have children in the future, then our Xie family will appoint one by ourselves." The next person's heir, how good do you think?"
"Okay." Xie Zichen nodded, since the other party didn't care, he wouldn't care either.
Xie Zichen's succession ceremony was scheduled for seven days later, which was also the second day after Wei Lan was completely released from house arrest.
Wei Lan's account checks are full of problems, and Wang Xi can only close the case. Su Bai was so angry that he smashed the things in the imperial study room again.
When Wei Lan heard about this, she smiled coldly and remained silent.
On the day of Xie Zichen's succession ceremony, almost all the court people came, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Wei Lan stood under the stage, watching the young man put on the black shirt of the Patriarch of the Xie family and listening to the elder's teaching.
He was already a young man's face, with sharp edges and corners and delicate eyebrows. When he was not speaking, his pale complexion looked a little cold, but there was no trace of hostility in his eyebrows and eyes, and he was much more peaceful.
Wei Lan watched him finish everything, and at night, she stood at the door, held up a lamp, and waited quietly for him to come home.
He saw that lamp fluttering in the wind from afar, that person who was as calm as a chrysanthemum, and a surge of heat surged in his heart, so he simply ran up to her and hugged her in his arms.
"I like you." He was drunk, and his words smelled of alcohol, but he looked at her very seriously like a child and said, "I like you very much!"
Wei Lan smiled lowly, and pulled him on the way home.
After Wei Lan returned to the court, the direction of the court began to change.
Su Bai found more and more papers asking him to set up a heir, but the concubine Wang Guifei was not born yet, so the only ones who can put forward these opinions are the followers of the Jiang family.
However, this is self-deception, because not long after, Su Bai discovered that there were more and more of these papers, but the ones who put the request of establishing the crown prince in the first place happened to be the officials under Wei Lan.
They are overt and covert, urging Li Chu in various ways. Although they have been concealed again and again, as long as they have a purpose, it is still easy to see. Su Bai was so annoyed by them, it was easy to figure out that Jiang and Wei Lan had been in contact for a long time, so after Wei Lan was imprisoned, she would contact Jiang. And the Jiang family must have helped or promised Wei Lan something, so Wei Lan spared no effort to help the eldest prince now, and wanted to make the eldest prince the crown prince before Wang Guifei gave birth.
The more Su Bai thought about it, the angrier he became, and he closed his eyes. After a while, he couldn't bear it any longer, and said coldly, "Show me the Weiyang Palace."
The eunuch responded, and Su Bai led the people to Weiyang Palace.
When the queen heard that Su Bai was coming, she was very happy to go to pick him up, but the dragon chased him to the door, and the queen followed the emperor into the house. Just after entering the house, Su Baiyang slapped the queen on the ground with a slap.
"Bitch!" Su Bai roared angrily, "You want to be the crown prince crazy!"
