Yang Hengyuan only came over after the New Year's Eve dinner.

The head of the Yang family would stay in the ancestral hall every New Year's Eve. As soon as the door of the ancestral hall was closed, Yang Hengyuan quietly ran to another courtyard.

The gate of the villa was opened, and as soon as the carriage entered, someone quietly left in the woods in the distance to report the news.

Not long after, black smoke suddenly burst out from the kitchen near the ancestral hall in the palace, and soon the flames shot into the sky!

"Go to the water!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is still in the ancestral hall! Let Your Majesty come out quickly!"

Everyone ran to the ancestral hall in confusion, only to find that there were heavy guards outside the ancestral hall, blocking those who put out the fire from the door.

Yang Hengyuan's second brother Yang Hengwei looked anxious: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Didn't you see the fire over there? Why don't you let the prince come out quickly?!"

The guard had a cold look on his face: "Your Majesty is keeping watch all night. Unless he comes out on his own, no one or anything is allowed to disturb him!"

Yang Hengwei stamped his feet: "But look at how big the fire is, it's almost burning..."

As he spoke, seeing that the guards did not listen to the advice, the steward next to Yang Hengwei winked, and a guard rushed forward and tried to force the door open.

There was a "choking" sound, and the knife was unsheathed.

"puff!"

It was the sound of a neck being cut and blood spurting out.

The scene instantly fell into deathly silence!

The nurse who had just tried to force open the door covered his neck and fell to the ground twitching, gradually losing his breath.

What the hell!

They actually dared to kill people on New Year's Eve!
Yang Hengwei's heart trembled and he wanted to retreat.

But when he thought of the news and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yang Hengwei emboldened his courage again, put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Brother...it's on fire! You should come out..."

"If you don't come out, the fire will come over!"

But no matter how Yang Hengwei shouted, no one in the room answered, and the guards didn't move at all.

"Brother, don't you have passed out? Please hurry up and save people..."

Yang Hengwei said, seeing that the guard was still motionless, he turned to urge his wife: "You should go and invite the old concubine! Only the old concubine can persuade the eldest brother to come out..."

A steward hurried away, but a short time later a man came back: "Second Master, the old lady invites you."

Yang Hengwei was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his ears: "The old concubine can't come? But you want me to see her?"

The steward nodded affirmatively: "Yes. The old lady is staying up late in the warmth of the pavilion in the front yard. Please invite the second master to come over."

Yang Hengwei's heart dropped again and again, and finally he wiped his face in a rude manner, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Just go! I want to ask what is going on!"

In the Nuan Pavilion, the old concubine with gray hair but smooth skin was sitting upright, with a rich variety of fruit snacks, tea and desserts on the table in front of her.

Seeing Yang Hengwei come in, the old concubine waved with a smile: "Hengwei, come quickly, have something to eat, and stay with my mother to watch the New Year."

Yang Hengwei couldn't believe the old concubine's calmness: "Mom, the kitchen has leaked, and it's right next to the ancestral hall! My eldest brother is still inside, but he can't scream..."

"Second brother!" The old concubine interrupted Yang Hengwei's words. Seeing that he shut up, she continued, "Come and have something to eat and watch the New Year with my mother."

Yang Hengwei sat helplessly beside the old concubine. After thinking about it again and again, he was still dissatisfied: "Mom, you usually love me the most, but now... why?" The old concubine looked at Yang Hengwei steadily: "In the Wa State, there is no such thing. For a powerful person, sitting in that position is not a blessing, it is a way to seek death.”

"Second brother, you have been protected by your parents and your brother since you were a child. You have the best food and clothing. You have never experienced any wind and rain..."

That's why you naively think that as long as you get that position, you will have a happy life with all the power in the Wa State.

"You probably don't know, right? Before your eldest brother became the king of Sai Bang, he was assassinated and plotted no less than a hundred times!"

"After becoming the King of Sai Bang, he never dared to spend the night with the person next to him. He would always let people leave after he was done."

As she spoke, the old lady suddenly shouted: "Bring people in."

The people in Nuan Pavilion were pushed away, and a man and woman were tied into rice dumplings and pushed in.

The two men had whip marks on their bodies. When they entered the door, they tripped over the high threshold and fell to the ground, making a muffled thud.

It's Hua Yue and Luo Guanshi.

The two of them knew that a disaster was coming, and screamed with their mouths blocked. They looked at the old concubine with pleading eyes, and banged their heads on the wooden floor with all their strength, just asking for a way out.

The old concubine sighed: "Look, you don't know how to choose people. How can you be reliable if you don't do things smartly?"

As she spoke, the old lady waved her hand, and a guard came forward. As soon as a rope was wound, and when she exerted force, there were two crunching sounds, and the two people's necks were broken.

Seeing his own people being executed in public, Yang Hengwei was so frightened that his knees weakened and he knelt down.

"Mom! I..." Listen to my excuses!

But when he opened his mouth, Yang Hengwei knew that his old mother knew everything, and no matter what he said, he could not get away with it.

Sure enough, the old concubine sighed with a kind face: "You are the child born in my belly. Today, while your eldest brother is not at home, I will give you a few words..."

"From now on, you can enjoy your easy life. You can choose between fine wine and beautiful women. Don't mess around."

Hearing the meaning of these words, Yang Hengwei breathed a sigh of relief: And "in the future", this life is saved!

As long as you are still alive, you can figure out a way later.

But the old concubine suddenly said: "Only one! You are not allowed to touch your brother's woman again in the future!"

Yang Hengwei was so frightened that he froze again: Was his involvement in Huayue discovered? !

Fortunately, Hua Yue is already dead. Yang Hengwei is prepared to refuse to acknowledge this unconfirmed matter.

"Mom, Huayue and I have nothing to do..."

But before Yang Hengwei could finish his quibbles, the old concubine said again: "I will send the child born to Hua Yue to Zhuangzi for training. If it grows up and is worthy of use..."

Yang Hengwei felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head: Mom knows everything!

She knew that Huayue's daughter was her own!
When Yang Hengwei came out of the Nuan Pavilion, his hands and feet were weak and he was covered in sweat!

I completely forgot that just a cup of tea time ago, I wanted to expose to the public that the eldest son Yang Beichen was a fool, and then adopt his son to his eldest brother as the eldest son? !
Little did he know that after he left the Nuan Pavilion, the old lady "poofed" at the closed door of the Nuan Pavilion, and laughed and cursed: "These two fools!"

The woman next to her was an old man who had been with the old concubine for many years. She knew very well what the old concubine was thinking. She smiled apologetically and handed her a cup of tea: "You feel sorry for him!"

After hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but sigh: "This fool, who wouldn't know his little thoughts!"

"That means the prince doesn't care about him, otherwise he would have turned into mud!"

"Does he think that seat is easy to sit in? He's so lucky that he doesn't know how to enjoy it!"
