Wei Yan and Wei Kai watched their wives and children trembling opposite Wei Lan, and immediately understood that the situation was over. After Wei Yan was silent for a moment, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Wei Yan was confused about what happened before. , I also hope that the son will spare Wei Yan for the sake of the same clan and surname."
"Yes, yes, yes," Wei Kai also knelt down, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is a large number, please spare us, and we will surely go through fire and water in the future, and we will die!"
"What did the uncle and the uncle say? Wei Lan has always been a person who abides by the rules. If the uncle and the uncle violated the law of the king, then Wei Lan can't control it. If the uncle and the uncle violated the law of the king, Wei Lan doesn't care. But?"
As she spoke, Wei Lan raised her head and looked at them with a half-smile. Wei Yan looked at the other party's smile, and immediately understood the other party's meaning. After a moment of silence, Wei Yan closed his eyes, looked at death and said, "I understand the meaning of the son, and I hope that I will wait for two low lives to exchange for the next one." A whole family."
Wei Lan didn't say anything, but made a pawn on the chessboard, which was a response. Wei Yan took a deep breath, and when no one expected it, he pulled out his sword and killed himself on the spot.
There was a lot of exclamation around, Wei Lan picked up the chess piece, looked at the trembling Wei Kai and said, "Where is the second uncle?"
Wei Kai is not a particularly smart person, but now he can see what Wei Lan means. He doesn't have the courage to die like his elder brother. He looks at his wife and children waiting for his help, and the indifferent face in the distance. Young man, Wei Kai struggled for a while, then yelled, and was about to run outside!
At that moment, Yu Jian flew from a distance and pierced into Wei Kai's body. The huge force carried Wei Kai directly through and hung in front of the door. Wei Lan raised her head and looked at Yu Jian. Looking at the direction he came from, he couldn't help but frown.
Xie Zichen Huan Heng came at the same time, Xie Zichen was still holding a longbow in his hand, it was obvious that he shot the arrow just now, when Wei Lan saw that it was the two of them,
She stretched her brows, stood up with a smile, and waited for them to come to her. The two got off their horses, and then entered the Changxinhou Mansion where there were hundreds of dead bodies. Huan Heng frowned uncontrollably, and asked with some concern, "Will the movement be too loud?"
"Is it big?" Wei Lan said casually, "Who cares about two dead people?"
Winners and losers, just like if she and Wei Shao died today, who would care about the two dead people? Why not just listen to what Wei Yan said and let him inherit the position of Changxinhou Mansion.
Originally they were living well, but unfortunately they were too greedy and underestimated Wei Lan.
Even if the wolves returned from the Northland had their claws and fangs pulled out, it would still be enough to kill these pet dogs in Shengjing.
Wei Lan killed Wei Yan and Wei Kai when she returned to the capital and shocked the government and the public on the second day, especially her appearance of talking and laughing happily in the dead body was widely recited. Naturally, Wei Lan would not let Xie Zichen worry about the arrow that killed Wei Kai. Because of this crime, he took it all on himself. The so-called punishment can't be punished by a doctor, and he shot and killed his own clansman in the street. This incident made the nobleman feel a little uncomfortable. When he looked at Wei Lan the next morning, he always felt how violent he looked.
As Wei Lan expected, in the early morning of the second day, Zhezi from the prime minister's faction rained down on Wei Lan, but Yu Shitai, who had always been hostile, remained silent. The prime minister who lost his minions, after criticizing Wei Lan, was very dissatisfied with Yu Shitai's eccentric behavior, and immediately pointed at Xie Zichen and said angrily: "The reason why Yu Shitai didn't say a word today is because Mr. Xie is in the imperial court. Because of Shi Tai, he would write a big letter to other courtiers even if they were dressed in the wrong color, but he didn't say a word about Wei Shizi's behavior of violating the superior and disregarding the laws of nature. ?!"
Hearing the duties of Shangguan Guocheng, the left chancellor, the people in Yushitai immediately changed their faces. Wang Nan, the doctor of Yushi, sneered out of anger, but said: "Zichen, explain clearly to this old man!"
"Who do you think is an old man?!" Shangguan Guocheng, no, the entire imperial court has been displeased with the people at Yushitai for a long time, and immediately shouted angrily. Wei Lan was speechless for a moment, and wanted to remind Shangguan Guocheng that this Not the point.
However, without her having to speak, Xie Zichen stepped out and stood outside, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Xie Zichen is only a sixth rank censor, but everyone knows that now he is the Xie family's favorite son, Wang Nan's favorite junior, and the emperor's son of Qilin. The cases he handled last year are more than many The quality and quantity of the censors in his life have been much higher. If he hadn't lacked qualifications, he would have been promoted already. But even though he has not been promoted, he is still the mainstay of Yushitai's current war of words. There is an unwritten rule in the court that as long as Xie Zichen takes a fancy to someone, he should submit his resignation first. Anyway, the official position cannot be kept. At least save face.
After more than a year of anti-Japanese war, everyone has long stopped fighting with Xie Zichen. Now that Xie Zichen came out, a fear of being dominated by the god of hatred flooded the courtiers. Even the battle-tested Shangguan Guocheng couldn't help feeling a little flustered. , holding on and said: "Master Xie, what else is there to argue about?"
"Both Wei Changshi and Wei Master are able-bodied people under Prime Minister Shangguan. Prime Minister Shangguan listened to and believed and didn't understand the truth for a while. Prince, that is Yushitai's fault."
As soon as Xie Zichen came up, he said something cruel. Shangguan Guocheng felt a little frustrated, but sneered on his face: "Is Xie Yushi right? Is it right? These two are close to my subordinates, but in the final analysis, they are still ministers of the court, and they are His Majesty's cronies. How could you delay the business because of your personal relationship?"
"Okay," Xie Zichen nodded, "Then Wei Changshi privately embezzled Changping's dam construction silver tael, can Lord Shangguan know about it?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Guocheng immediately said: "Impossible!"
Wei Yan is his right-hand man. The main reason is that Wei Yan's covetous money is all to borrow from him. When the time comes, he will take the big head and Wei Yan will take the small head. He has never been involved in the construction of the dam in Changping. With Wei Yan's ability, how can he move this piece of fat? Moreover, how dare he move? Even he dared not touch the money for building dams and disaster relief.
Seeing the shocked expression on Shangguan Guocheng's face, Xie Zichen was not surprised, and continued: "In the case of Changping, Wei Changshi was the mastermind of corruption. Because of embezzlement of funds for repairing the dam, the dam fell into disrepair for a long time, and it was unable to resist when the flood came. More than half of the dead in Changping, ten rooms and nine empty. After the incident, Wei Changshi exchanged Zhong Nan’s family to go abroad, instructing Zhong Nan to resist all the crimes, so that Changping’s flood was the worst, but he did not report and delayed the timing of disaster relief. When I arrived at Changping, the plague had already broken out."
Hearing this, the entire imperial court fell silent. The incident with Changping was indeed too much. Today's Changping may not be able to slow down in a few decades.
"Wei Shizi was the first to discover the abnormality in Changping. After collecting evidence in Changping, it happened that there was a riot in Changping, but he and Mr. Huan were forced to fall off the cliff by the killer mixed in the crowd. In the cave, although he was seriously injured, he survived by luck. He was found by his subordinates and rescued back to Shengjing. Back on Shengjing Road, Wei Changshi sent people to encircle Wei Shizi, Duke Huan and Xiaguan who were still on the road. Wei Shizi took People broke out, and when they returned to Changxinhou's mansion, Wei Changshi's soldiers were trying to kill Changxinhou. Wei Shizi and Wei Changshi fought, the sword had no eyes, and when he failed to control the situation, he accidentally killed Wei Kai. Afterwards, Wei Changshi saw that the general situation was over, so he committed suicide. This incident was witnessed by the subordinate officials, the physical evidence has been submitted to the Ministry of Punishment, and the personal evidence and physical evidence are all there. Therefore, Yu Shitai did not intend to have any fault in participating in Wei Shizi."
"Nonsense!" Shangguan Guocheng cursed angrily when he heard these upside-down words, but Xie Zichen only described what happened in every sentence, without any subjective conjectures, and there were evidences to corroborate it. Shangguan Guocheng didn't know for a while. In the end how to continue. The emperor also saw the embarrassment of Shangguan Guocheng. He propped his chin and looked at the people below. Recently, he always felt weak. The national teacher said that it was because the son of Qilin left the capital, and the dragon spirit was unguarded. Shangguan Kingdom has become difficult to thank his son, but because he dotes on his third son Su Cheng, he doesn't seem to be embarrassing his uncle, so he waved his hand and said: "Shangguan loves Qing, I have made this matter clear, there is no need to argue. He is already dead. Let's pass it. The most urgent thing is to deal with Changping's funeral. The clues in this case are clear and the evidence is solid. It's time for judgment."
As he said that, the emperor cast his eyes on Xie Zichen, and asked with a questioning look: "Xie Aiqing thinks who is suitable to preside over this case?"
When the words came out, everyone couldn't help being slightly shocked. Xie Zichen was only sixteen years old, but the emperor asked Xie Zichen in public when he was asking for the chief judge's opinion, which showed his favor. Xie Zichen heard the emperor's question and did not refuse, he said directly: "Return to Your Majesty, this case is handled by Wei Shizi alone, and it may be inappropriate to change the case now."
"Okay." This time in Jingzhou, the emperor originally planned to promote Wei Lan and let her go. Xie Zichen pushed the boat so smoothly, the emperor couldn't help but feel more happy, and said: "This time the Jingzhou Changping case happened, Wei Shizi died nine times, it can be called the first If you don’t have merit, let Wei Shizi enter the Ministry of Punishment and serve as a servant of the fourth grade of the Ministry of Punishment to try the case.”
"Your Majesty!" Lin Xun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up and said with some dissatisfaction, "Wei Shizi is only seventeen years old, and he has been an official for less than two years, so he jumped two ranks to serve as a servant of the Ministry of Punishment. I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"
"Lord Lin," Xie Zichen said calmly, reminding him, "When Shizi Wei was twelve years old on the battlefield, Lord Lin was just a servant, right?"
In terms of promotion speed, Lin Xunben is not too slow.
Lin Xun paused slightly, wanting to say something more, but couldn't continue. He is the son of the main house of the rich Lin family, and he should be promoted faster, but what is Wei Lan? How could a descendant of the descendant of the Marquis Mansion be so promoted if he didn't have military merits and a bit of intelligence
But these words can't be said in front of the court, Lin Xun held his breath and withdrew.
Seeing that Lin was looking for something interesting, the emperor looked at Xie Zichen. Seeing that it was time, Wang Nan took a step forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Xie Yushi has also made great contributions to this incident in Jingzhou. It has been more than a year. Xie Yushi Although he is young, he has achieved outstanding achievements, since His Majesty has commended Wei Shizi today, it might as well be a good thing, this old man here proposes Xie Yushi to be promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng, what does Your Majesty think?"
The emperor originally meant the same thing, but now he has lost interest in Wei Lan. Compared to Wei Lan, Xie Zichen, the son of Qilin, is obviously more in his heart. Especially the beauties in his harem with plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums would say good things about Xie Zichen from time to time, even though Xie Zichen never took the initiative to appear in front of him, the emperor felt more and more that he was good to him. Wei Lan has been promoted, so it makes no sense not to promote Xie Zichen. So he responded to Wang Nan and said: "Wang Aiqing is the chief of Yushitai, so she knows her subordinates the most clearly. Even Wang Aiqing thinks that Xie Aiqing is good, so it is naturally good. Let's do what Wang Aiqing said."
Xie Zichen is protected by the Xie family, so naturally there will be no unsightly people jumping out to question his promotion, and then discuss trivial matters in twos and threes, and finally go down to court.
Back home, Huan Heng had already returned to the palace. As a long-term repeater, he was probably the last of them... who dropped out of school because he couldn't graduate and the semester was too long. After Wei Lan arrived at home, Ran Mo sent all the information up, and said with some concern: "My lord, Mr. Xie's promotion went so smoothly, should we follow his example..."
"Imitate what?" Wei Lan unfolded the message, knowing what Ran Mo said. Ran Mo looked at Wei Lan's calm look, and said anxiously: "Why don't we send a few beauties in too! Let's make a magic stick!"
Hearing this, Wei Lan looked indifferently, flipped through the pages and said, "Have you got all the gifts for Eunuch Wei, Eunuch Xi, and Concubine Shu?"
"It's all done." Ran Mo was stunned by the question, Wei Lan nodded and said: "Then there is no need to waste time on these things, wait a while and prepare a gift, and follow me to the Lin Mansion."
"My son..." Ran Mo still wanted to fight, but Wei Lan raised her head, with a warning in her eyes: "Ran Mo, let me teach you one thing. Although Xie Zichen's promotion is fast enough, he may indeed let him sit down. He is stable in a high position, but he is young, and this is his biggest shortcoming. No matter how talented he is, he can only be a traitor and sycophant, and it is difficult to be a good minister. Now the situation is unstable, and no one can tell who is in power. If there is a Qingming monarch suddenly replaced, Xie Zichen who has such a bad record, do you think he will still use it?"
"Above the court, walk down steadily step by step, even if you walk slowly, it doesn't matter. Since I have the ability, I know these methods in my heart, and all parties can manage them, but I can't do it too clearly, otherwise it may be uncertain One day, I will suffer from it instead. Besides, Xie Zichen doesn't care about reputation, but I still care about it."
Which ambitious person doesn't want to let his reputation in the history be clean? Only people like Xie Zichen who climbed up from the position of a concubine only want to live in this world.
Hearing Wei Lan's words, Ran Mo nodded and said respectfully, "This subordinate understands."
Then Ran Mo went to prepare presents, and went to Lin Mansion with Wei Lan.
Lin Xun doesn't like Wei Lan, and Wei Lan knows it in her heart. On the one hand, as a disciple of a noble family, Lin Xun doesn't think much of Wei Lan, who was born as a general;
As Wei Lan's future officer, Wei Lan didn't want Lin Xun to be too hard on her, so she planned to take the initiative and give gifts first. It's just that the greeting card was sent to Lin's mansion, but it was returned by Lin's mansion. Wei Lan smiled and said nothing to the gatekeeper respectfully: "Then please tell Mr. Lin that I will come back tomorrow."
After speaking, Wei Lan was about to leave, but heard a familiar voice saying: "Alan."
Wei Lan turned her head and saw Lin Che just got off the carriage. Seeing her, Lin Che asked with some doubts, "What is Ah Lan doing at my house?"
Only then did Wei Lan remember that Lin Xun was Lin Che's father, so she couldn't help but smile, and she didn't intend to use Lin Che to enter the Lin residence, she waved her hand and said, "It's just a visit, it's inconvenient for your father, so I won't bother you. "
"Hey, wait!" Lin Che hurriedly said, "He has nothing to do, I'll show you to him!"
Wei Lan: "..."
Son, it's not good for you to sell your father like this.
Wei Lan knew that Lin Xun would probably have a worse impression of her if she entered the door relying on Lin Che, so she shook her hand and said, "No need, I'll come back another day."
After she finished speaking, she remembered that Lin Che had always been inseparable from Wang Xi, so she couldn't help asking, "Where did Axi go?"
Wei Lan just asked casually, but Lin Che showed a troubled look, and said helplessly, "I'm arguing with his third wife at home about his cousin's marriage."
"Cousin?" Speaking of the Wang family's marriage, Wei Lan was the first to think of Xie Zichen. She vaguely remembered that Xie Zichen was rumored to be very fond of the young lady of the Wang family, even though she later beat the mandarin duck...
Thinking of this, Wei Lan couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She heard Lin Che say, "Isn't it Xie Si's fiancée Wang Wanqing? His family wants to divorce."
"Oh?" Wei Lan was a little surprised. Xie Zichen is now an official obeisance to Yushi Zhongcheng. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that although he is a bastard, his future is limitless. Why is the Wang family arguing to divorce at this time
"Isn't it surprising?" Looking at Wei Lan's expression, Lin Che sighed and said, "Ah Xi is also so surprised. The two have been engaged since childhood. It turned out that his cousin didn't think highly of Xie Si, but Xie Si always Love her unrequitedly, the two families don't want to tear each other apart, so they plan to delay to find an appropriate time to break up the engagement. Now that Xie Si has obtained a high position, the Xie family mentioned that the two are not young, and they should be married At that time, the girl from the Wang family suddenly quarreled not to marry."
"This... is strange." Wei Lan didn't know what to do, so she responded with a little bit of hesitation in her heart: "They don't think that the minister is a bastard?"
Although she had no intention of admiring Xie Zichen, no matter from any point of view, she felt that Xie Zichen was an excellent man, far from being despised by others. Lin Che shook her head when she heard this, and wanted to say something, but said, "This matter... is indeed wrong with the Wang family. Anyway, Xie Si will probably be annulled this time. This afternoon, Xie Si probably will Go to Wang's house to discuss this statement, just wait and see."
Wei Lan nodded and said a few perfunctory words, but she only remembered this matter in her heart. He ordered the secret guard to go to Wang's house to watch, and then returned to Changxinhou's mansion.
The afternoon was a bit sweltering, and Wei Lan felt a little uneasy as she was handling the handed over official documents. When it was almost time for dinner, Wei Lan heard the news from the secret guard who came back and said: "My lord, the Wang family is fighting."
"Fighting?" Wei Lan frowned, never thought about getting divorced, how could she be in such a mess. The dark guard understood that Wei Lan didn't understand what he meant, so he continued: "The fifth son of the Wang family, Wang Han and Miss Wang, beat Mr. Xie."
"They dare!" Wei Lan stood up abruptly, her anger bursting up. The dark guard didn't reply, so Wei Lan walked out directly, and said coldly, "Take me to Mr. Xie."
The secret guards had been sending people to keep an eye on Shao, and Wei Lan then rode a horse along the trail and stopped in front of Xie Zichen's carriage returning home. Xie Zichen noticed that the carriage stopped, and heard Xie Tong shout from outside: "Wei Shizi is safe."
"Your son is in there?" Wei Lan said coldly, Xie Tong frowned: "What's your business?"
Wei Lan didn't reply, but after seeing that Xie Zichen was indeed inside, she got off the horse, stepped directly into the carriage, and raised the curtain.
Xie Zichen was sitting in the carriage, looking sideways out of the window: "Why did Ah Lan suddenly stop my carriage?"
Wei Lan pinched Xie Zichen's jaw, turned his face to her, and there were still red marks on that handsome face, as well as marks left by a woman's fingernails, and her body still hadn't been properly treated. Wei Lan couldn't help but sneer out of the footprints: "The Wang family is going to divorce, how dare he hit you?"
"You know?" Xie Zichen lowered his eyes, making Wei Lan even more furious. As far as Xie Zichen's martial arts is concerned, how can those Wang family's wine bags and rice bags be able to move? He kept his wounds back, obviously he was beaten on purpose and kept back for others to see. But she didn't know why, she just felt bored in her heart, probably because she had kept Xie Zichen in her heart for too long, seeing him being bullied, even if it was voluntary, and was designing others, she also felt angry .
When Lin Xia was beaten before, she felt that she had slapped her face.
Now that Xie Zichen, whom she usually coaxed, was slapped by a woman, she felt even more ashamed and humiliated.
"What kind of benefit is it that you deserve to be beaten up like this?" Wei Lan couldn't bear to scold him, and after holding back for a long time, she finally uttered a sentence. Xie Zichen didn't show it on the face, but he softened a lot in his heart. With drooping eyelids, he suppressed the smile in his eyes and said, "I have long intended to retire, but because I am a concubine and her concubine, if I propose to divorce, it will be a humiliation to the Wang family, and the Wang family will definitely hold resentment towards me at that time. However, I knew Wang Wanqing secretly communicated with the Third Highness about the song, she will break off the engagement with me sooner or later, so she has been holding back and waiting for her to bring it up."
Wei Lan nodded and continued to listen to Xie Zichen's plan: "I have been looking for a suitable time. Just a few days ago, I heard something. Ms. Wang went to the medical clinic privately, and I went to find it alone. The people in the medical center tricked her into saying that she was pregnant."
Her fiancée conceived before marriage, but Xie Zichen didn't have any troubles at all. Wei Lan couldn't help being stunned, thought for a moment and said, "I heard that you used to love her very much."
"It's just in the past." Xie Zichen said lightly, and couldn't help but recall the knife in his previous life. He once admired her only because she was the only person in his life who was nice to him. It wasn't until she grew up that she realized that she wasn't being nice to him, she just liked his admiration. If she was really nice to him, she wouldn't have had secret meetings with Su Cheng in this life or the last life, and would have done such a thing.
"I knew she was pregnant, so I hinted to my family that if my uncle was to urge the marriage, it would be impossible for her to marry me at this time, and her elder brother probably knew about it, so he wanted to withdraw the engagement, but they were afraid that I would insist on not withdrawing the engagement, so they decided Hit me today."
"Any man with a bit of backbone, no matter how much he tries to gain power, will end this marriage today. What's more, I'm now the jewel of the Xie family... How can I bear this tone?"
"Being slapped, the Wang family owes me a favor."
Xie Zichen seemed a little tired, and said slowly, "It's also a great deal."
Wei Lan didn't speak, the carriage creaked. She thought, she and Xie Zichen really have completely different lives and ideas. She has always looked down on insider methods, but she has to admit that whether it is a man or a woman, these private things are always the best and fastest way to destroy a person method. Xie Zichen is always like this, from the first time they met, he always hurts the enemy a thousand and hurts himself eight hundred.
Wei Lan couldn't tell what she felt, but felt a little more pity in her heart. Seeing him leaning against the side and falling asleep with blood on his face, she sighed, took out an ointment for removing scars and promoting blood circulation, gently smear.
Xie Zichen moved his fingers, but in the end he didn't say anything.
For a moment, he wanted to hold her.
But he knew it was impossible.
Probably after living a whole life, when a person is a teenager, he will forget a lot of life experience he has learned, such as plotting slowly, such as step by step.
He has always been a patient person who can bear it. In his previous life, he endured it for twenty years. After waiting for twenty years, he finally became the regent. In this life, he can do the same.
Power is the best knife to use. Those who block his way will kill him, and those who want to stay will stop her. It was because he was too reckless, too easy to show this feeling, but it didn't matter, he could start over if he made a mistake.
So he didn't speak, pretended to fall asleep, felt the soft fingertips stained with ointment rub against his cheeks, and then sighed softly: "Zichen," she said, "You have had a hard time living."
Well, yeah, it's not easy.
He answered in his mind—but it's okay, you're here.
The previous life was much rarer than this one, so this life is extraordinarily sweet. And this kind of sweetness, besides his own rebirth, is more important to have this person.
He raised the corners of his mouth indiscriminately, and asked her to send him back to the mansion in silence. After he returned to the mansion, Wei Lan asked the hidden guards to investigate Wang Wanqing and Wang Wu.
Within a few days, Xie Zichen heard that Wang Wu was beaten and thrown into the river. When Xie Zichen heard about this incident, Xie Zichen was writing a memorial in his study. After Xie Tong reported the incident, he said cautiously, "Master, do you want to call again?"
Xie Zichen smiled, the indelible tenderness in his eyes made Xie Tong feel a little terrified.
"No need," he lowered his eyes, and continued to write the memorial: "Look at Wang Wanqing, don't let Wei Shizi tell about her pregnancy."
Although he didn't like her, he never thought of ruining a woman's life like this.
Naturally, Wei Lan would not do this either. She has been in this world for a long time, and she has already understood that a woman's pregnancy in Daliang is something to be extremely proud of, but in this world, being pregnant before marriage is enough to kill a woman thing. She can't be so fussy with women in this world. So although she was annoyed at Wang Wanqing's slap on Xie Zichen, she just jumped into Wang Wanqing's room on a dark and windy night and took back the slap.
She slapped her hard and fast, Wang Wanqing was woken up from her sleep, she didn't even see anyone clearly, she felt dazed. But the position of the slap was too precise, she immediately understood that it was Xie Zichen's people who slapped her.
So Xie Zichen and Wang Wanqing divorced in this way. Not long after, Wang Wanqing was quietly brought into the Third Prince's Mansion by a sedan chair. Wei Lan met her once in the Third Prince's Mansion. There is no official concubine in Sucheng, but there is a concubine. Wang Wanqing has a big belly, and was asked by the concubine to kneel on the ground with a basin on top of it. Wei Lan glanced at them, feeling that every time the women here let her look at them, she felt very angry in her heart. Seeing her looking over, Su Cheng couldn't help asking curiously: "What is Ah Lan looking at?"
As she spoke, she saw the scene of Wang Wanqing holding the water basin. Su Cheng sneered, as if he didn't care, and said: "These women are so stupid, thinking that a child can restrain this king, and the most important thing that this king lacks is women and children. If it is not for the Wang family's On the surface, how could this king allow her to be so nonsense?"
Hearing this, Wei Lan glanced at Su Cheng coldly, but smiled.
"Your Highness, do you know that I have a habit."
"What?" Su Cheng was very interested, with Wei Lan's shadow in her beautiful eyes, Wei Lan walked in the courtyard with Su Cheng, and said slowly: "I can barely be regarded as a romantic person, but I never touch the lady of the family. , if you plan to touch, they are all planning to marry, even if the young lady takes the initiative, then Wei Lan will arrange for her the way out."
Wei Lan said, brushing away the willows, Su Cheng's eyes were cold: "Are you blaming me?"
"Your Highness," Wei Lan sighed softly, "Friendship is precious, even if you don't love her, don't ruin her."
"Then the son was wrong." Su Cheng approached Wei Lan and held Wei Lan's wrist. After two years, although Wei Lan has grown taller, she still can't reach the height of the person in front of her. Su Cheng looks down at Wei Lan , Thinking of the occasional love in the past two years: "It has never been a taboo for me to ruin others. Don't say that I don't love her, even if I love her, if I don't like her, I can ruin her." she."
Wei Lan didn't speak, and she didn't think about forcing Su Cheng, but she could say a word. Now that I've talked about it, I have nothing to say. Wei Lan twisted her wrist and broke free from Su Cheng's hand, saying calmly : "Your Highness, the dignity of a prince, is naturally different from people like Xiaguan."
"Alan," seeing her appearance, Su Cheng didn't know why, so he softened a lot, and said helplessly, "Why do you like to meddle in other people's affairs like this?"
Wei Lan has always been good at speaking, so she said, "This is His Highness's concubine's room, and I want to take care of everything related to His Highness."
Hearing this, Su Chenglang laughed out loud, opened a small fan, and said narrowly: "Then the king is really important in the heart of the son?"
"Your Highness is on the tip of Ah Lan's heart," Wei Lan said softly, but her eyes were cold and indifferent: "Nature is important."
Saying that, Wei Lan looked at the sky, remembered that today is Huan Heng's rest, and said: "It's too late today, I will take my leave first."
Su Cheng also had other matters, so he asked Wei Lan to leave. Wei Lan left the Prince's Mansion, went to the gate of the palace, and waited for Huan Heng. Huan Heng was punished by Xie Qing to copy the book, and at night, Wei Lan guessed that he was punished, so she didn't worry, she flipped through the book and waited quietly in the carriage. When the sky was full of stars, Huan Heng finally finished copying the book and was let go by Xie Qing. He rode his horse out of the palace gate. He stopped his horse and said angrily, "Why are you blocking the way?!"
"The young master left in such a hurry, is he planning to meet his sweetheart?"
A familiar voice came from inside the carriage, with a tease, Huan Heng's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been told what was on his mind for a moment, his face blushed, and he stammered: "A... Alan..."
Wei Lan raised the curtain from the carriage and saw the young man in front of the palace gate, he was in a hurry, no need to guess, she also knew that he was rushing back to Changxinhou's mansion. Wei Lan softened her expression and waved to him, "Come in."
"Yeah." Huan Heng hurriedly got off the horse and got into the carriage. Wei Lan handed him snacks, leaned back on the couch, and said slowly: "Are you hungry, and was punished by the Taifu to copy books again?"
"Oh, don't mention that old man, it's really annoying." Huan Heng sat cross-legged, put the pastry in his mouth, and said while eating: "I have told him many times that I am here to accompany you to study, I don't expect to become an official by studying, what is he talking about with me every day?"
Wei Lan didn't speak, just smiled and listened to his rambling, she didn't know why, as soon as Huan Heng appeared, she felt peaceful in her heart. She felt that this was almost becoming a habit, and she couldn't help thinking about how she left him and came to the south three years ago.
"Aheng," she couldn't help but said, "When do you plan to return to the north?"
Hearing this, Huan Heng was taken aback for a moment, he was not a brat who didn't understand anything back then, so he naturally knew the current situation. His father was the Grand Marshal of the World Army and Horses, commanding 700,000 troops and stationed in the north. The court respected and feared his father. His father was alive, so he could be alive and well in the south, but if something happened to his father, The family in the south is afraid that they will immediately dismember him, and then gradually embezzle the military power in the north.
Apart from his father, Huan Song, the only one in the north who is capable and qualified to command the 700,000 troops is he, the son of the Huan family who has made great military achievements on the battlefield since he was a child.
He hadn't been back to the North for two years. The longer he was away, the more effort it would take to regain the northern military power in the future. Moreover, his father was often away in battle, and his stay in the South was always an unstable factor.
He didn't understand before, and he didn't want to listen to people telling him, but now two years have passed, and he has gradually understood the situation, knowing that staying in Shengjing is already too dangerous a choice.
But Xie Zichen's words stuck in his heart. When he said that day, "Huanheng will eventually return to the north. If you want to stay in Shengjing, you need someone behind you", he hated himself for not being in the south. The aristocrats of the noble family hate themselves for being born and raised in the North.
If he goes back, he won't stay by Alan's side. After a long time, Alan and her will probably be nothing more than young friends in his life. But now he clearly knows that what he has in mind for her is not just a young friend.
Huan Heng was in a daze, but Wei Lan already understood what he was thinking. He wanted to go back to the north, but he couldn't let go of himself.
This was a relationship she had never had in her two lifetimes, it was so clean and pure, it made her heart soft.
"Aheng," she couldn't help but said, "Go back, I will take care of everything for you in Shengjing."
Huan Heng looked up at her, but asked hoarsely: "I'm going back, won't you be reluctant?"
Wei Lan was slightly taken aback, she thought about it, Huan Heng went back to the north, feared that it would be difficult to return, no one would follow her every day, and she didn't need to take care of anyone, this sincere and clean feeling, will The president belongs to the Northland.
She didn't know why, but she felt sore in her heart, but she could only say, "Ah Heng, no matter how reluctant I am, what can I do?"
As she said that, she turned her head and looked out the window. The car curtain was raised and then lowered. She leaned on the couch, watching people coming and going outside the car, and said slowly: "Ah Heng, you and I are still too young."
Too young, too weak, too powerless, so that fate cannot be held in his own hands.
Looking at her face, Huan Heng was suddenly stunned, and after a long time, he suddenly made up his mind.
"Alan, I will go back in a few days."
"Yeah." Wei Lan's heart was terribly sore, she had never experienced this kind of emotion, and she was at a loss for a while. Huan Heng stepped forward, knelt down in front of her on one knee, and looked at her persistently.
"I'll be in the North, waiting for Ah Lan to pick me up."
I will not marry a wife, have no children, accept concubines, and be free from prostitution. Become the sharp blade of the king, protect the country of the king.
In the future, the king will be extremely powerful, and I will level the northern border, and I will come back after my life.
Wei Lan looked down at him, seeing his passionate eyes, her heart was slightly touched, she suddenly felt that Huan Heng's promise this time was different from every time before.
But she couldn't taste the difference, she just followed her instinct, responded to his gaze, and solemnly said, "I promise you."
In the next year, he will go to the northern border to welcome the king back.
When they were talking, Xie Zichen was writing a memorial, when suddenly a strong wind blew up outside, rolled up fallen leaves and rushed into the study, blowing the pages of the book flying. He felt something in his heart and frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
Xie Tong strode into Xie Zichen's study, and said anxiously: "Master is not well, the north is fighting."
"A fight?" Xie Zichen felt his heart beating faster and faster, and he always had a bad feeling. Xie Tong frowned, and said anxiously: "Yes, and, he was beaten up a month ago, but Jingzhong didn't I don't know."
Hearing this, Xie Zichen suddenly got up and said coldly, "Go to Changxinhou's Mansion!"
The fight broke out a month ago, so the military news should have reached Shengjing long ago. The reason why it didn't reach the news could only be because someone detained the news. The only person with such ability is the Son of Heaven.
It was his negligence. If he remembered correctly, Huan Heng had never come to Shengjing in his previous life, and this battle did not start so early, but he knew the outcome of this battle. The imperial court refuses to pay rations, Huan Song dies in battle, and Huan Heng takes over as the head coach, starting the tactic of "beating the autumn wind" and leading to his brilliant life from then on.
Now that Huan Heng is in Shengjing, when he gets the news, he must escape from Shengjing. If he wants to escape, only Wei Lan can help him.
He couldn't let Wei Lan get involved in this matter.
No matter how great the favor is, it can't bear the crime of destroying the whole family!
