"... I was going to chase him, but I was almost killed by Zhao Ke with a sword, and suddenly he appeared!" Zhu Zirui pointed directly at Beidou, with deep fear in his eyes.
He swallowed before continuing: "Knocked Zhao Ke unconscious with one palm, and before I could explain, he knocked him unconscious and carried him here."
After he finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu shifted his gaze to the middle-aged man.
At this time, there are still people who can sneak into the palace. It seems that the situation is worse than she thought.
Wen Qingzhu's expression gradually became serious. This time, before she spoke, Wei Ziying took the initiative to ask: "Princess, since the matter has happened, why not let Feng'er handle this matter?"
After regaining consciousness, Wen Qingzhu looked at Wei Ziying and finally understood why he came back to plead for mercy.
"Prime Minister Wei, with the character of your Wei family, Zhu Zirui has a lot to do with this matter. It must be the old lady who asked you to come here to beg me, right?"
Wei Ziying lowered his head: "Yes."
Zhu Zirui, who was next to him, was still confused. He looked at the two of them and asked, "What has to do with me? Why did my uncle ask for the princess?"
"Lu Tao, take Zhu Zirui down. I want to have a private chat with the Prime Minister." Wen Qingzhu interrupted him.
Lu Tao took the order and went down, pointed to the door and said: "I wish you the best, sir."
Zhu Zirui stood up slowly, thinking about it in his mind.
Finally he realized what trouble he had gotten into and turned to look at his uncle.
Wei Ziying looked at him sideways and said, "Hurry up and get out! It's good that I'm here!"
Zhu Zirui clenched his fists and turned to look at Wen Qingzhu, which was very similar to saying that one person is responsible for the work.
However, when a Huns spy was involved, and the previous enthronement ceremony was still fresh in his mind, Zhu Zirui finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and turned around and left with Lu Tao shaking his body.
There was no one else in the hall. Wen Qingzhu walked down in person and asked Wei Ziying to sit down: "I made the suggestion of the Prime Minister's Pavilion earlier just to support you. This matter does not need to be investigated externally, but you, the Wei family, must keep it under control. I will never allow this to happen again."
"I understand, I understand, Princess, don't worry!" Wei Ziying took a step back and did not sit down.
Someone outside reported that Hei Jiren was here.
Wen Qingzhu personally sent Wei Ziying away and brought Hei Jiren in.
As they walked in and out, Hei Jiren showed his respect to Wei Ziying as they passed each other.
But Wei Ziying's eyes were a little complicated.
He didn't even know that the Shenxing Division was already Wen Qingzhu's without knowing it.
After going back and sitting down, Hei Jiren said to her directly: "The Wei family has no problem, but the Wei family's in-laws, the Zhu family, have a lot of problems."
"What should I say?" Wen Qingzhu began to think in his mind.
Hei Jiren explained: "The Zhu family was originally a military general. Later, because the emperor was in the wrong team before and after he ascended the throne, he was gradually marginalized. General Zhu, who died very early, was still a very tough-tempered person, so he directly handed over military power. This was valued by Mrs. Wei, so he married a girl from the Zhu family as his eldest daughter-in-law, and she is now Mrs. Wei."
"Mrs. Wei, who has been in the Wei family for so many years, is still paranoid, let alone the Zhu family." Wen Qingzhu sighed with emotion.
Hei Jiren agreed very much: "What the princess said is true. The Zhu family has been in decline for almost thirty years. If it weren't for in-laws like the Wei family, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to stay in the capital. Zhu Zirui is the old son of Mrs. Wei's eldest brother. , his character and ability are better than those of the first two Zhu family members, so he naturally thinks highly of him, Mrs. Wei even thought of letting him marry Miss Wei Qinglin before."
"Marry Linlin?" Wen Qingzhu concentrated, thinking of Zhu Zirui going to Linlin last night to ask her not to have too much contact with Wen Mingxuan.
Is this because he thinks Linlin is the future queen and should not be too close to Good Night, or is he actually thinking about Wei Qinglin in his heart
Wen Qingzhu knew human nature well, and his mood suddenly became unpleasant.
What happened to her Mingxuan family! How unworthy of Wei Qinglin!
Hei Jiren is a person who is very good at detecting changes in emotions, and he immediately saw that Wen Qingzhu was dissatisfied with Zhu Zirui.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. If Zhu Zirui were really talented and hard-working, he might not be able to get ahead in the future.
Although Wen Qingzhu was angry, business was more important after all.
"How's the investigation going with Eunuch Zheng?"
Hei Jiren looked shocked: "Princess Qi, this matter may require the cooperation of Manager Bai!"
"Oh? There are still things that Lord Hei can't handle?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised. Hei Jiren has very high authority in the palace.
Wei family.
As soon as Wei Ziying entered the house, Mrs. Wei hurriedly greeted her: "Master, why didn't Zirui come back with you? Doesn't the princess even want to look at your face?"
"Let's go in first." Wei Ziying was in a very irritable mood. He strode forward without even looking at his first wife of more than thirty years.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Wei's heart skipped a beat and she quickly caught up with him.
When they arrived at the room, Wei Ziying stepped back and pointed to the seat next to her: "Sit down, madam."
Seeing Wei Ziying's expression, Mrs. Wei became more and more panicked, and it took her a long time to sit down with the handkerchief in her hands.
Wei Ziying looked up at her: "Didn't you know something about Zi Rui before?"
"I...I...what can I know? It's all done by Master, Xiaoyu and the others." Mrs. Wei's eyes were a little evasive.
When Wei Ziying heard that his wife was still hiding something at this time, he immediately slapped the table: "Did you know! The Zhao Ke recommended by Zi Rui is a spy of the Huns!"
These words frightened Mrs. Wei so much that she almost slipped down and collapsed. Fortunately, she held on in time and was able to stabilize herself.
Immediately her tears fell.
Seeing her like this, Wei Ziying couldn't be cruel, so he had to explain to her carefully: "I know you want to help the Zhu family, but you can't just crowd everyone into the palace. Who is the princess? If she hadn't earlier Send someone to keep an eye on Zi Rui, I’m afraid his life will be in danger!”
"Here, what's going on?" Mrs. Wei was now afraid.
Wei Ziying carefully explained what happened to Zhu Zirui, which made Mrs. Wei feel cold all over.
After a long while, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Wei Ziying's sleeve: "Zi Rui was also deceived. Does that have nothing to do with him?"
Wei Ziying shook off Mrs. Wei's hand and laughed angrily: "It doesn't matter!? Then Zhao Ke was personally guaranteed by Zi Rui and his brother-in-law to get in! This matter hasn't been investigated in detail yet. If we really want to investigate, I’m afraid even our Wei family can’t shirk our responsibility!”
"Master! You are the emperor's uncle now. You must keep Zi Rui no matter what! He is the Zhu family's only hope! If I had known earlier, I would not have listened to my brother and would have sent those people in!"
Mrs. Wei couldn't help but cry. She had never seen anything like this in the Wei family over the years.
Since the Wei family is involved, the Zhu family may not be able to survive.
It's just that she is the daughter of the Zhu family after all, and she can't bear to see the Zhu family decline like this.
Wei Ziying finally felt somewhat comforted, knowing that his father was still right at the beginning.
Although his wife was born into a family of military generals, she was upright and even though she was partial and doting, she could always tell right from wrong.
Thinking of this, Wei Ziying added: "Zi Rui is not the main responsibility for this matter. The princess will not do anything to him, but Zi Rui must not be an errand in the palace. Last night, he went to Linlin privately to reprimand him. Linlin has a close relationship with Wen Mingxuan, didn't you tell him that even if Linlin is not the queen, Wei Shuang and his wife will still look down on him!"
"He...he went to find Linlin!" Mrs. Wei covered her mouth in surprise.
Wei Shuang finally had a daughter back then, and Zhu Zirui liked this little sister very much, so he had the intention to bring her together.
But later Wei Shuang and his wife insisted on taking their daughter to take office and never came back.
Mrs. Wei gave up the idea, but the Zhu family kept mentioning it and she explained it several times.
It wasn't until Linlin and the emperor met in Jinzhou that the Zhu family gave up the idea completely.
Wei Ziying nodded: "So, the Zhu family has always had thoughts that they shouldn't have. You know better than me what kind of temperament my niece-in-law, Mrs. Chai, has. There is also my second sister-in-law. She has been a widow for many years. She does not seek wealth, but only seeks the well-being of her children. In the future, you should stop interfering in the affairs of their second wife! Whether Linlin is the queen or not, this has nothing to do with us!"
"But..." Mrs. Wei wanted to say something more, but she thought that she had never made any mistakes in her life, except for the Zhu family's affairs, where she made mistakes one after another.
Finally he nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Yaoer appeared at the door pushing Wei Feng.
After entering the house, he said directly: "I will go to the palace today. Zi Rui is the last hope of my uncle's family. Even if the Wei family takes the responsibility, Zi Rui cannot be implicated."
"Why did you come out to make trouble!" Mrs. Wei was shocked and distressed when she saw her eldest son acting like this and worrying about the Wei family.
Wei Feng curled his lips and looked at Wei Ziying: "Didn't dad tell mom? No one can handle Zi Rui's matter except me."
"Tell your mother that I am going to the Prime Minister's Pavilion." Wei Ziying stood up and left, not wanting to say more.
On the tower of Xuanwu Gate, Wen Qingzhu stood and looked into the distance.
The weather was very good today, but she could still only vaguely see Luo City.
Farther away in Cannes, there was no trace at all.
Some Imperial Guardsmen carried Wei Feng up, and Yao'er pushed him all the way and stopped next to Wen Qingzhu.
Following her line of sight, Wei Feng asked her, "Are you worried about the emperor?"
"Mrs. Wei actually let you out?" Wen Qingzhu looked away and looked at the special armor Wei Feng was wearing.
It has no legs or arms, and looks a bit like a roly-poly.
Wei Feng laughed disdainfully: "Is there anything I can't handle?"
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and questioned, "Didn't you move the wife out?"
"Ahem!" Wei Feng almost choked on his own saliva after being ruthlessly exposed the truth.
Fortunately, Yao'er calmed down even though he was happy for him.
Wei Feng stopped joking and asked seriously: "How is the investigation going on here?"
Wen Qingzhu looked solemn: "It didn't go well. Hei Jiren encountered a problem and asked me for instructions. Bai Di fully cooperated with him. It seems that these spies of the Huns are more difficult to deal with than we thought."
"How could the Huns spies be so powerful?" Wei Feng survived from the survivors of the Yue Kingdom. Regarding these foreign tribes, he thought that they were not as smart as the Central Plains people.
What's more, the Huns, who were always in the northwest, rarely invaded the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways: "Since you have decided to accept this matter, let me tell you that King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu is a heroic person. He is more powerful than anyone we have encountered before. He is proficient in the culture of the Central Plains and knows better Use Central Plains methods to deal with us."
"Are you talking about that Wang Tu?" Wei Feng concentrated and said a name.
Wen Qingzhu was slightly shocked: "You actually know about his existence!"
Wei Feng met her gaze with dissatisfaction: "What's that look in your eyes? What do you mean I actually know! I have led an army after all! More than ten years ago, when the Xiongnu and Daqi were at peace with each other, I Just know the existence of Wang Tu, okay!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wen Qingzhu's tone was full of blame.
Wei Feng was even more surprised: "I never knew that the Huns would become such a difficult enemy. What's more, in the past Wang Tu was just a cautious Huns who was respectful and low-key in everything he did! I thought he was just an ordinary Huns before. I came here to do business because I admire the culture of the Central Plains!"
