As the "newly married" husband of Princess Anguo, Prince Wei felt a little depressed. It was not because he had any objection to the Queen Mother being sick at this critical moment, but simply because, as a "newly married" woman, his wife was busy with work, and he couldn't even hug her at night, let alone during the day. It would be strange if he was not depressed.
Wei Tingyu was an outsider after all, so even if he could go to the harem to take a look, he couldn't stay there for too long.
Without Xiaocao, Wei Tingyu would be too bored, so he went directly to Emperor Xuanren and expressed his desire to return to work. In fact, he had some ulterior motives in looking for Emperor Xuanren at this time, and implicitly expressed his little grievances. He was newly married and immediately became a lonely one, how pitiful.
Emperor Xuanren was indeed aware of this problem and felt somewhat guilty. Moreover, Wei Tingyu was also his cheap son-in-law, so he became a little more gentle on top of his previous trust.
Prince Wei took advantage of the situation and asked Emperor Xuanren if he could keep his vacation days.
Emperor Xuanren looked at Wei Tingyu with a speechless feeling. In the past, Wei Tingyu dragged his sick body and looked like he was about to die at any time. He was given leave specially to rest more, but he did not take it seriously and worked hard all day long. Now, he needs to take leave in advance due to external factors, and he even wants to keep it for later. This is no longer the "sword" in his hand that is loyal to his duty.
Logically speaking, this person is healthy and will be able to work for him more in the future, which should be a gain. However, Emperor Xuanren did not feel that way at this moment. The monarch was naturally not very happy that his minister put his wife and love affairs first. However, the minister's wife is his daughter, and his daughter is also his lifesaver. Saving his life can even be regarded as helping him to stabilize the country. It is necessary for the son-in-law to hold his daughter at the top of his heart.
There is only one daughter who is the savior, but there are many ministers. Wei Tingyu can throw the unfinished work to others. In comparison, Wei Tingyu's problem becomes insignificant. "Okay."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The first thing Wei Tingyu had to solve was the "little incident" during the wedding. The dozens of people were still in prison in Kaiping Prison. Although Wei Tingyu had not asked about it for the time being, it did not mean that the matter would be shelved. You know, in order to make the matter real, a whole village of people were involved, and these people would naturally be controlled at the first time. In addition, Xiaocao's private matters were leaked.
Speaking of this matter, Emperor Xuanren's expression was naturally not much better. The person who was plotting behind the scenes had good intentions. If Emperor Xuanren had not known it from Wei Tingyu a long time ago, now, even if there were no loopholes in Wei Tingyu's words, he would probably have some doubts. After all, everyone in the village was sure of that person.
Fortunately, it was completely strangled at the beginning because the other party was intimidated and frightened. Naturally, the matter completely collapsed. Now we have to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
"The person behind this might be the same person or a group of people who plotted against your father-in-law last time. After all, An Guo was also involved last time. This time we must investigate thoroughly, and no one will be tolerated no matter who they are." Time and time again, someone is playing tricks behind the scenes, and anyone who stands on Xiaocao's side will naturally be angry.
"only."
One of the reasons why we failed to identify the person behind the scenes last time was that we were not sure whether this person was targeting Wenrenjia or Xiaocao. Although the two were from the same day, there are still some differences between them in essence.
But no matter who it was directed at, anyone who was suspected seemed possible, but there was no evidence. Wei Tingyu thought about it for a long time and finally ruled out these people. Naturally, the matter came to a stalemate. Nothing could be found, and Wei Tingyu did not insist on finding out the truth, but he did not let the matter go completely either. The person behind the scenes might not take action only once.
The more you attack, the more flaws you will naturally reveal. If you protect people well, you will catch these evil spirits one day.
And this time, if it was really done by the same person and he did it on such a big scale, there would definitely be traces left.
Before, Wei Tingyu was thinking about the reasons for the person who did this. If he knew the key, things would be much easier. Now he put the two things together and assumed that the person behind the scenes was targeting Xiaocao.
Plotting against someone deliberately is not just due to hatred, but generally speaking, there are only a few reasons.
This time, Wei Tingyu decided to sort out all the grudges with Xiaocao, no matter how insignificant they were, bit by bit, one by one. If he still couldn't find out anything, it might be that his thinking was wrong. At worst, he could just overturn it and start over. This time, he must be patient. If there was still no result, then this man must have extraordinary abilities.
After making a plan, Wei Tingyu began to act. Of course, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he openly started with the investigation of everyone in the entire village, but the intensity was greater in secret. Wei Tingyu did not clearly state what he wanted to investigate, but only handed it over to Kaiping Guard. This time, because of Xiaocao, the powerful ability of Kaiping Guard was developed to the extreme, making this "hawk dog" belonging to the emperor more and more feared in the future, almost to the point of being terrified.
Of course, this is a story for later.
After handing over all the matters, Wei Tingyu sat behind the scenes, mainly reviewing and summarizing the information reported by those below, unraveling it, and perhaps getting more information, and further eliminating those erroneous information, and then making arrangements.
Wei Tingyu is efficient enough, and these things don't take up much time every day, so he appears to be relatively free.
On the day Xiaocao returned home, she was in the palace, but Wei Tingyu was very well behaved and went to the Wenren family with gifts.
It is normal for a husband to accompany his wife when she returns to her parents' home. However, there are also married women who feel ashamed in their husband's home or whose husbands are busy and would return alone. However, Xiaocao is the only one who is like this. She cannot get away, so she asks Wei Tingyu to "return home" with her.
The officials naturally knew the empress dowager's situation. It seemed that Xiaocao's return would have to be postponed, and it was not known when it would be postponed. However, it was obvious that they had not prepared to drive the girl back by themselves. Therefore, when Wei Tingyu came to the door, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. No, when did the husband come when the wife did not come back
But they were already outside the gate, so it was impossible to stop them, so we quickly invited them in.
Wei Tingyu greeted Han according to the rules. He did not say anything about returning home, but only said that he came to see Han and the others. Then, "Xuan'er can't leave there now. When things are over, if mother-in-law is willing, you can let Xuan'er come back to live with you for the whole month."
Although Han had always found fault with Wei Tingyu in the past, she had now let it go and was very satisfied with her son-in-law's "sensible" behavior. After knowing that the wife of Marquis Pingyang would have no objection to this, she became more active.
