Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

He was injured in the end, Shen Yuan quickly caught up with him, and threw the torch over with a swish, stabbing it firmly into the snow in front of him.

Surprised, Wei Xuanyuan stood still.

Raising the long sword and pointing it at Shen Yuan, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, "Say, who are you? Why did you come to deal with me?" It is impossible for a small servant to be so skilled.

Shen Yuan snorted, "You are defeated, how can you tell others about it? You tell me, what evil deeds were committed in the palace three years ago.

"Hahaha~~ That incident, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it." Wei Xuanyuan laughed, and after laughing, an evil face appeared, "What's wrong with me? I didn't play with her, and violently destroyed her." It's just a blow, of course, if I didn't intend to save her life, I would have split her head in half with a sword."

"You devil, die." Before he finished speaking, a sword came from behind him. Wei Xuanyuan looked back, and saw that it was Xuan Wang Wei Mi.

"It's~~ it's you?" Wei Xuanyuan spat out a mouthful of blood, "So you are secretly investigating me?"

"It's not him, it's me." Shen Yuan grabbed a handful of snow and wiped off the disguise ointment on his face, revealing his true face.

She is afraid that Wei Xuanyuan has a party, so this matter cannot be left to King Xuan.

A flash of shock flashed in Wei Xuanyuan's eyes, "Ye~~Princess Ye? So it's you? Hey~~ I really underestimated you!" After speaking, he quickly swiped his sword towards the ice below him.

The night was shrouded in ice and snow, Shen Yu'an and King Xuan didn't realize that the moat was just outside the tunnel.

Wei Xuanyuan slashed down with his sword, and the ice cracked into floating ice in an instant. Shen Yu'an and King Xuan couldn't stand upright and almost fell into the water. Wei Xuanyuan took this opportunity to plunge into the water and disappeared into the bottomless river.

"Don't let him escape." Shen Yuan shouted urgently, "Since he has entered the water, he must find a way to break through the ice, otherwise he will definitely drown in it, so hurry up and look for it separately.'

At this time Commander Lei had already chased here with his guards, King Xuan hurriedly explained the situation, Commander Lei quickly asked the guards to search around with torches.

However, no one was found until dawn, and there was no ice-breaking hole in the ice.

I searched almost the entire moat, but found nothing.

"Wei Xuanyuan will definitely bleed profusely if he is seriously injured, and he should have died in the water." King Xuan analyzed.

A trace of doubt flashed in Shen Yu'an's heart, just now when Wei Xuanyuan slashed down with his sword, he was very decisive, not as if he was looking for his own death.

But the fact is in front of him, he didn't come out of the water, can there be any other explanation besides dying in the water?
Shen Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Then I'll go and report to the royal father that Wei Xuanyuan has died at the bottom of the moat. Sister-in-law, you go back to the Yewang Mansion first, and leave other matters to the emperor."

"Okay." Shen Yu'an showed his face, it was indeed inconvenient to enter the palace again, after all, pretending to be a eunuch and being in the same room with King Xuan, how could anyone hear the news?
Shen Yuan went back to the mansion, and King Xuan found Commander Lei, and entered the palace with him.

The Royal Study Room, Zhou Chenxiang, Prince Rui, Minister of the Ministry of War and other important officials of the court have all arrived after receiving the news.

"Is it really Wei Xuanyuan?" The Minister of the Ministry of War asked in disbelief. The people sitting in the imperial study at the moment were all those who had the meritorious service of Cong Long among the "five sons seizing the heirs". Naturally, they were also Wei Xuanyuan's "enemies". Everyone took this matter very seriously. of.

Zhou Chenxiang took out a fan and unfolded it, "Everyone knows this fan, right?"

After several old ministers looked at it, they all fell silent. It was indeed the fan that Wei Xuanyuan liked to carry when he went in and out.

Everyone was silent, Commander Lei and King Xuan came in.

Commander Lei and King Xuan reported that Wei Xuanyuan was seriously injured and had died in the moat.

The emperor asked the reason of the matter, how did he find Wei Xuanyuan's trace?
King Xuan only said that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night a few days ago and came out to hang out. He accidentally followed the man into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, found the secret room, and then cooperated with Commander Lei to arrest him. The explanation was very simple. The word is not mentioned.

How big a scandal is that? Rumor has it that the entire East Palace is going to be messed up, and I don't know how many people will be involved.

So as long as Wei Jinyan's revenge is avenged, this matter will not be involved too much.After all, Wei Xuanyuan is dead, what else is there to say?
To be cautious, the emperor took a group of ministers to the secret room of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and found calligraphy and paintings made by Wei Xuanyuan himself in the secret room.

In this way, there was no doubt, and the Empress Dowager was brought under control on the spot.Wei Xuanyuan was discovered in the Compassionate Ning Palace, how could she get away with it?
"Cough cough cough ~ ~ Ai family wants to see the emperor." The empress dowager was dragged up from the bed with her arms crossed, her face was sallow and thin, and she kept coughing. look.

None of the guards answered, and they dragged the Empress Dowager to the ground regardless of whether the ground was cold or not.

"The Ai family wants to see the emperor." The empress dowager repeated this sentence with disheveled hair.

"Put the Empress Dowager back on the bed." It was the voice of Emperor Qi Heng, who walked in with his hands behind his back and a dignified expression.

"Yes." The guards helped the Empress Dowager who had been dragged to the ground to lie down on the bed.

"Let's all go out." The emperor waved his hand and told all the servants to retreat.

"Is the Queen Mother's body okay?" Emperor Qi Heng asked and sat down at the table.

The empress dowager coughed a few times, panting heavily, and said, "Do you still need to ask? Isn't the emperor seeing everything?"

Emperor Qi Heng didn't make a sound, but complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

When he was young, he did not please Empress Changsun. Empress Changsun sent him to be raised in the palace of Concubine Yigui for a period of time.

Because of such kindness, although Wei Xuanyuan participated in the rebellion, Emperor Qiheng did not punish the empress dowager after he ascended the throne.

"The Ai family is dying, and I want to tell you something." After coughing a few times, the Empress Dowager continued, "It is impossible for Xuan Yuan to rebel. I know the son I taught."

Hearing this, Emperor Qi Heng let out a long breath: "Mother, when you said this, I really believed it three times after thinking about it, but how can I believe it today?"
"The Seventh Emperor has been hiding in the secret room in the east side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace for an unknown amount of time. Three years ago, the Princess of Prince Rui's Mansion was murdered, and he was the one who did it."

"No, it's not him, it can't be him!" The Empress Dowager shook her head with tears, "You watched him grow up, is he such a vicious person?"

Emperor Qi Heng clenched his fist and threw several things onto the bed.

"If the queen mother doesn't believe it, then take a good look. This is the fan he left in the secret room, and this is the painting on the wall of the secret room~~ The painting skills of the seventh emperor were taught by the queen mother herself. The queen mother will always recognize it, right?"

The Empress Dowager glanced at those things, and spoke with the last bit of strength.

"The Ai family doesn't want to see this, the Ai family doesn't believe it, doesn't believe Xuan Yuan can do such a thing, doesn't believe it." Before finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager tilted her head powerlessly to one side, as if she had passed away.

Tears flashed in Emperor Qi Heng's eyes, and he stepped forward to caress the eyes that the Empress Dowager refused to close.

"Since the queen mother refuses to believe it, then she will ask the seventh emperor brother in person in the underworld, and ask him why he has committed so many evils, and the sky is angry and people complain.
