When Wei Lan heard this, she raised her eyes to look at Xie Zichen.
"Zhang Huaisheng and Xia Chengzhi are classmates and good friends, but they fell in love with Xia Chengzhi's wife. After a bitter love, love turned into hatred. He originally thought that after Xia Chengzhi's death, Xia's wife would be willing to be his wife. I know, after Xia's wife knew what he was thinking, she felt that she had killed Xia Chengzhi, so she refused to accept Zhang Huaisheng's olive branch and committed suicide. But Zhang Huaisheng was hurt by love, and after getting drunk, he regarded Xia Sanniang as another Mother's substitute, I will regret it when I wake up, and I will not see Xia Sanniang until now."
Xie Zichen's voice was flat, Wei Lan sneered, "Is this kind of guy worthy of a relationship?"
Xie Zichen didn't speak, he lowered his eyes.
He doesn't know whether Zhang Huaisheng is worthy of a relationship, but he himself must not follow in Zhang Huaisheng's footsteps.
The person in front of him had flamboyant eyebrows and eyes, as if there was a stream of color under the lights, so scorching that he couldn't look directly at him, Xie Zichen's mind flickered, and just as he was about to say something, Xie Tong came out and hurriedly said: "Young Master, Zhang Sheng has left the Third Prince's Mansion , ready to go."
Xie Zichen nodded, and said to Wei Lan, "Ah Lan can go. Now Xia Sanniang is housed in the Chen Mansion in North Fifth Lane. There are some of my guards. If you say you are Xie Lan, they will let you in."
"Xie Lan?" Wei Lan raised her eyebrows, and Xie Zichen said calmly, "How about giving you such a great gift with my surname temporarily?"
Hearing this, Wei Lan laughed loudly, tapped Xie Zichen's head lightly with a folding fan, and said rather dotingly: "You're really narrow-minded."
Xie Zichen: "..."
My stomach hurts.
Fortunately, Wei Lan didn't continue, turned around and left after speaking, and went directly to the emperor's bedroom. After the announcement, the eunuch ushered her in.
The emperor seemed to have just had a good time with his concubine, and there was still an inexplicable smell in the room. When Wei Lan was ushered in, she saw the man above wearing a silk robe tied with a rope, looking a little impatient .
He watched Wei Lan come in and knelt down to salute, and his eyes fell directly on Wei Lan's body. The eyes were so naked that Wei Lan felt as if there were thousands of ants crawling over her back, and he couldn't help but cursed a few times in his heart.
However, her face was still calm and calm, watching the emperor come forward and help her up. After helping her up, the emperor's hand still fell on her, and he didn't let go. Instead, he smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Ai Qing's appearance is even more attractive."
When Wei Lan heard it, she felt a stomach ache.
To be honest, the emperor is only thirty-five years old, and because he has been taking Wushi powder for a long time, he looks only in his early twenties, and looks pretty good. But the long-term indulging in sensuality has given him a lot of smells that Wei Lan doesn't like very much. In the world that Wei Lan lived in in the past, some people liked this kind of people and found them coquettish to the bone, but people like Wei Lan who are a bit clean like Wei Lan just don't like this kind of people.
She always felt that a man's show should at least be like Su Cheng's, coquettish and coquettish, but not lowly. People like the emperor who look like a woman are really not her type.
She withdrew her hand calmly, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I came here to tell you something."
"Yeah." The emperor also knew that everything should not be too much, and it's fine to take advantage of it. He returned to his chair and sat down, and said lazily: "Go ahead."
"Your Majesty, do you know about Xia Sanniang suing Yushi Zhang Huaisheng?"
"Is there such a thing?" The emperor raised his head and raised his eyebrows. Wei Lan repeated Xia Sanniang's story. The emperor frowned and nodded, "I already know about this..."
"Your Majesty, that's not the point." Wei Lan interrupted the emperor, who was a little surprised. This kind of case will not be reported, at least not at such a fast speed. When Wei Lan reported it, he thought it was enough, but he never thought that there would be more important things later.
"More importantly, the prince wanted to use this opportunity to bring down Zhang Huaisheng, so he went to find Xia Sanniang. Who ever thought that Xia Sanniang had no evidence at all. The prince was worried that the punishment department was all from the third prince, and Xia Sanniang who had no evidence Mother couldn't bring down Zhang Huaisheng, so she planned to kill Xia Sanniang, put the blame on Zhang Huaisheng, and then spread among the people that Zhang Huaisheng killed Xia Sanniang because she was afraid that things would be exposed. His reputation is also tainted."
"This bastard!" The emperor yelled angrily, "He can think of such a dirty trick, how worthy is he to be the crown prince!"
"In addition to the crown prince, His Highness the Third Highness also took action," Wei Lan continued: "The Third Highness heard that Xia Sanniang had no evidence, on the one hand, he was worried that Zhang Huaisheng had really done this, and after checking, he really found out some clues; On the other hand, I feel that Xia Sanniang has no evidence, so she can kill Xia Sanniang directly, pretending to be Zhang Yushi on the surface to kill, and privately put down the ironclad evidence of the prince's murder. In this way, she can pretend to be the prince to frame Zhang Yushi The appearance of killing people, profiting from this case, has achieved the goal of gradually destroying the prince's reputation."
"It's the same with Liancheng?!" The emperor was completely angry: "Why are these two so careless? Are they all idiots?! Zhang Huaisheng is the minister of my humerus. They are so calculating, it's just the opposite. !"
The emperor also obviously didn't believe that Xia Sanniang was really defiled by Zhang Huaisheng, he wholeheartedly believed that it was the prince who framed Zhang Huaisheng, and stood and scolded non-stop. Wei Lan didn't speak, she lowered her head and listened to the emperor's scolding. After half the salary, the emperor calmed down, sat down, and immediately said: "Go, take my Imperial Forest Army over tonight, and stop these two beasts for me... "
Speaking of this, the emperor paused, and after a while, he continued: "No, you take the Imperial Forest Army to see what's going on tonight, and let me find out the numbers and capabilities of the two parties tonight, and let me know the matter before it gets too big. I will press down and bring Xia Sanniang back to me, and put a fake Xia Sanniang there, and I will immediately arrange for someone to collect the body and keep the body under strict supervision. I want to see, my two sons , How many skills do you have!"
"Yes." Wei Lan said decisively, received a token thrown by the emperor, saluted and got up to leave.
She first went to count the people in the Imperial Forest Army, and then went to the sky prison to pick up two death row prisoners, a man and a woman, and after they were changed, she rushed to the place Xie Zichen said, and then put the two death row prisoners on the bed. Quickly retreated.
Not long after the group squatted on the edge of the yard, Wei Lan saw Xie Zichen rushing over with someone, and he also found a place to squat down. The two looked at each other in the dark and nodded.
After a while, another group of people ran over, and a group of people jumped onto the tree where Wei Lan was squatting. Wei Lan knocked them unconscious without hesitation, and fell from the tree. They seemed to be the prince's people. Wei Lan silently dragged the person aside.
After a while, another group of people came and jumped on the tree where Xie Zichen was squatting blindly. Xie Zichen kicked them down. From the looks of it, he probably belonged to the Third Prince. Xie Zichen silently dragged them away. to the side.
After waiting for the middle of the night, the large army finally arrived, and the first ones who came were the prince's people. The whole group were all wearing clothes made of Yunjinxiuzhuang cloth, which were dyed with the scent of citrus. As soon as this group of people arrived in the courtyard, the third prince's people rushed over. When the two parties fought, they thought each other was here to protect Xia Sanniang, and they couldn't tell each other apart.
People from both sides fought for a long time in the dark, Xie Zichen sneaked down wearing night clothes, knocked out a person on the third prince's side with a knife in his hand, and then dragged them back quietly.
Wei Lan saw that the time had come, and when she was about to make a move, she suddenly found that the third team had appeared!
When the three parties met, they were stupefied on the spot. However, the current situation did not give them time to be confused. It was dark for a while, and it was unknown which party rushed into the room first, and one party beheaded Xia Sanniang's double first. , the other party beheaded Xia Tan's substitute, Wei Lan immediately blew the whistle and rushed out with the people.
When Wu Ya pressed a group of people to rush out, the three parties knew that it was not good, but the people were already dead, so there was no need for everyone to stay, and those who could carry them would carry them, and those who could not carry them would run away with them. go. Wei Lan didn't bother to chase after him, and asked the Imperial Forest Army to carry the body back.
The three parties went back and reported everything to their masters.
The prince panicked on the spot, and immediately said: "Call Xie Zichen!"
Su Cheng frowned deeply, and Zhang Sheng who came back with him said: "Don't act rashly, I'm afraid the prince is cheating."
Zhang Huaisheng nodded after listening to all the reports, looked at the documents on the table, and sighed deeply.
Wei Lan and Xie Zichen split into two groups. Xie Zichen placed the guard he brought in the other courtyard, and then rushed to the East Palace. After Wei Lan placed the body, she told the emperor everything she saw. The emperor seemed to have expected it, nodded and said: "Go down."
Wei Lan got up to say goodbye, and went back to the room by herself. On Xie Zichen's side, the East Palace has already fallen out.
The crown prince scolded Li Liang so badly. When Xie Zichen just entered, he heard the crown prince scolding him angrily. As soon as the crown prince saw him, he rushed to meet him. Xie Zichen nodded and said before the crown prince could speak: "Your Highness Don't worry, I know everything."
"Zichen..." The prince expressed emotion on his face: "It's Gu who didn't listen to you. Do you know what's going on now?"
"Zichen knew that he could not dissuade the prince, so he stayed at Xia Sanniang's place tonight, wanting to help His Highness," Xie Zichen walked in with the prince, Li Liang and others hurried out, only the prince and Xie Zichen were left in the room, and the two sat down. After coming down, Xie Zichen said: "But I happened to see the scene where everyone was arguing, so Zichen knocked out a guard on the spot and brought him back."
Upon hearing this, the prince's eyes lit up, poured tea for Xie Zichen himself, and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Xie Zichen picked up the tea and took a sip: "As expected," Xie Zichen said with a smile, "It's from the Third Highness."
"Third brother?" The prince frowned: "What did he want to do by doing this?"
"I want to blame Your Highness," Xie Zichen said casually, but the Crown Prince's expression changed instantly. He heard Xie Zichen continue: "He wants to pretend that Xia Sanniang is your Highness blaming Zhang Yushi. So Your Highness understands, "Xie Zichen raised his head, looked at the prince seriously and said: "How dangerous is what happened tonight? If the Third Highness didn't make a move tonight and I caught him, and the Third Highness acted properly and framed Minister Humerus for the crime, His Highness might be the crown prince. It's in jeopardy!"
The prince was drenched in cold sweat from Xie Zichen's words, so he hurriedly got up and saluted Xie Zichen, and said solemnly: "Is it the orphan? I have to apologize to Zichen!"
"Your Highness does not need to be so courteous," Xie Zichen supported the crown prince with a sincere expression on his face, "I am accompanied by His Highness's aides, and I will be prosperous with His Highness, and I will be harmed and damaged. It is Zichen's fault that I failed to stop His Highness." .”
After the two gave in to each other for a while, they finally got back to the topic. The prince hesitated and said, "What do you think tomorrow will be?"
"His Highness San San killed someone."
"This evidence..."
"I come."
Xie Zichen took a sip of tea: "I will hand over the evidence to His Highness tomorrow morning."
Xie Zichen did what he said, and he didn't return all night after he left the palace after receiving the token of the East Palace. And Wei Lan was waiting for Xie Zichen, and finally went to bed when no one came in the middle of the night, but for some reason, she tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, always thinking about where Xie Zichen went in the middle of the night .
When it was dawn, Wei Lan finally heard the sound of the door opening. The moment Xie Zichen entered the room quietly, Wei Lan sat up suddenly. The two faced each other silently in the dark night. Xie Zichen smiled slightly: "I'm the one who bothered you." ?”
Wei Lan didn't speak, she lifted the quilt and got off the bed, grabbed the other's hand, and found that it was indeed covered with blood. Xie Zichen retracted subconsciously, but Wei Lan grabbed her tightly. She raised her head, her eyes were full of coldness: "Are you injured?"
Hearing this, Xie Zichen breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "Never, it was stained during interrogation."
Wei Lan nodded, then let go of Xie Zichen's hand, Xie Zichen went to the basin to wash his hands, Wei Lan went to light a lamp for him, and then saw that under the light, that slender white hand was covered with blood, and the blood color fainted in the water , but with a particularly gorgeous beauty.
Wei Lan quietly looked at Xie Zichen under the lights, and felt that at this moment, he was like a mountain monster, making people feel dry mouth and heartbeat a little faster.
"What did you do?"
"The guards of Su City, prepare evidence for the prince. This morning, the prince will go to Su City to kill Xia Sanniang."
"I see."
Wei Lan nodded, looking at the black eyes of Xie Zichen, feeling a little distressed in her heart for some reason, and sighed, "Go to sleep."
Xie Zichen nodded, and the two went to their own beds. Wei Lan listened to Xie Zichen's breathing, but still couldn't fall asleep. Put it on her waist. Looking at Xie Zichen who rolled over to hug her with great precision, Wei Lan felt that this must be Xie Zichen's innate skill. A person who is usually so cold and quiet is actually so cute at night. Such a contrast really makes people have to soften their hearts.
Wei Lan stretched out her hand to brush his soft hair, lowered her head and kissed his forehead, finally calmed down, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Waking up the next morning, Wei Lan got up quietly, and seeing that her sleeve was being pressed by Xie Zichen, she pulled out a dagger from under the pillow, cut it off, and then went to the next room of Huanheng to borrow water to wash. After arriving at Shuixie, he helped Xie Zichen and Xie Qing to take sick leave.
Xie Qing has always been lenient in this kind of matter, but it was nothing. Not long after Xie Zichen was granted sick leave, an eunuch rushed to the water pavilion and said respectfully: "Third Highness, Your Majesty, please go to the main hall for a visit. trip."
It's still early morning time, so it's time to find Su Cheng for something. Everyone in the Three Princes' Party looked at each other in blank dismay, while those on the Prince's side looked indifferent. Su Cheng's face was full of coldness, he got up and followed the eunuch to leave.
Xie Qing saw that everyone was no longer interested in studying, so he said, "Let's stop here today."
After everyone asked for leave with Xie Qing, the companions of the third prince rushed to the main hall one after another.
Except for Wei Lan who has the title of major general, everyone has no official position, but Wei Lan didn't say anything, and stood outside the hall with a group of people, waiting for the eunuch who was familiar with Wang Yuan to come and deliver a message.
Although Wang Yuan's head is not quick to respond to things, communication may be a talent of the Wang family, and there are people Wang Yuan knows well everywhere.
The door of the main hall has been closed tightly, and no one can come out. After waiting for about an hour, the door of the main hall finally opened. The eunuch trotted towards Wang Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Young Master Wang, I have made inquiries clearly. It is said that Ji Yushi participated in the third prince, that he murdered a mother and son named Xia Sanniang and Xia Tan last night, and brought the blood confession of the third prince's bodyguard as evidence. You beat the third prince!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Sheng's expression changed, and Wei Lan went to the hall without hesitation, and everyone immediately changed their expressions. The eunuch said anxiously: "Wei Shizi, wait... Wei Shizi..."
The soldiers stopped Wei Lan one after another, but Wei Lan walked up to meet the sword and gun.
"Get out of the way!" Wei Lan's face turned cold, and she said loudly as she walked, "I am a major general, I have something to see in the court!"
She didn't intend to stop at all. The guards knew her identity and didn't dare to really stop her. One of the guards was stubborn and didn't retreat, and the tip of his spear went straight into Wei Lan's shoulder. The spear was retracted, but Wei Lan's blood-colored pure white robe with large sleeves embroidered with large cherry blossoms could still be seen.
Wei Lan forced the guards to retreat all the way into the hall, the emperor frowned and said angrily, "What's the noise outside!"
"Chen, Major General Wei Lan, I have an important matter to see you!"
Wei Lan spoke loudly, followed the sound and stepped into the gate, everyone turned their heads and saw the handsome young man coming against the light, walking calmly, the blood on his shoulders seemed to be dyed into a huge flower, alluring and eye-catching.
She cast her gaze on Su Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground at this moment, with the skin on his head smashed, blood dripping down his face, and there were marks of being bound by palms on his face. He looked at Wei Lan who was striding in, with a blank face, as if he had never thought that Wei Lan would appear at this time.
Wei Lan would also feel distressed to see such a desolate beauty who has always been flamboyant. She quickly stepped forward and knelt beside Su Cheng. After seeing the ceremony, she said directly: "Is your Highness investigating the case of the Third Highness sending someone to murder Xia Sanniang?" ?”
"Yes." The emperor frowned: "Wei Aiqing came here for this matter?"
"Exactly." Wei Lan said seriously: "As far as I know, there is nothing hidden about this matter. Because the real Xia Sanniang is actually not dead at all! The one who intended to kill Xia Sanniang was not the Third Highness, but Xia Sanniang. The person Sanniang wants to sue, Doctor Yushi, Zhang Huaisheng!"
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, and Zhang Huaisheng suddenly raised his head with a look of shock on his face. Wei Lan was neither humble nor overbearing, and said confidently: "If you don't believe me, Your Highness can call Xia Sanniang to come forward, just ask!"
"In that case," the emperor nodded, "then call Xia Sanniang."
"Your Majesty," Wei Lan knelt on the ground with a serious face, "Before that, I implore Your Majesty, let me take the third highness to see the injury first!"
Hearing this, the emperor's face changed, but seeing Wei Lan's persistent face, he knew that if he didn't agree, Wei Lan would probably pester him endlessly on this matter. Moreover, it was his favorite son who was beaten, the emperor felt distressed in his heart, so he nodded with a stiff face and said: "You take the third prince to the side hall."
Wei Lan thanked the emperor, then turned her head and stretched out her hand towards Su Cheng.
Her face was full of tenderness, and she deliberately slowed down her voice: "Your Highness, get up."
Su Cheng didn't speak, kept his head down, covered his expression with his hair, and put his hand in Wei Lan's.
The moment he stood up, Su Cheng felt dizzy, and almost fell down on the spot. Wei Lan quickly supported him, and hugged his slender waist. Seeing his dizzy expression, Wei Lan sighed, and simply put Su Cheng violently hugged her!
Su Cheng screamed out, and there was gasping all around, but Wei Lan's expression did not change, she hugged Su Cheng, and strode out steadily.
All eyes are on them.
To be honest, Su Cheng was afraid of being watched like this just now, but he didn't know why, at this moment, he was lying in this person's arms, as if the wind and rain were gone, leaving only this person's embrace as his safe place .
She stepped on the red carpet with him in her arms, blocking everyone's eyes and words for him, and then stepped out of the hall.
When she stepped out of the main hall, Wei Lan looked down at Su Cheng's face, and chuckled softly: "I thought, Your Highness will not be afraid of anything in this lifetime."
"When did this king get scared?" Su Cheng sneered, his beautiful eyes were water-colored, like peach blossoms.
Wei Lan smiled lowly, her eyes were full of doting.
"Whether His Highness is afraid or not, His Highness has been wronged so much," Wei Lan said with self-blame and distress in her eyes, "It's my fault."
"No matter what the reason, it is Wei Lan's fault that His Highness suffers."
