Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

After coming out of the palace, Wei Zhao and Jiang Che did not return to their respective palaces, but went to Wei Zhao's other courtyard outside the city.

The courtyard is quiet and quiet. Usually, no one comes in or out. There are only a few old servants guarding the house. Wei Zhao may not come here once in a year or a half.

Wei Zhao took Jiang Che to sit down in the pavilion in the backyard. He was a little surprised that the old servant who suddenly came here brought tea, and was sent out by him immediately, and ordered that no one could enter and disturb him without his permission.

The backyard has an open terrain. Some common flowers and plants are planted in the flower bed under the courtyard wall. The pavilion is built on the steps. Sitting in it is condescending, and the surrounding movements are unobstructed. It is a good place to talk.

Jiang Che had been here before, but it was many years ago. At that time, his relationship with Wei Zhao was not what it is today. Looking at the familiar scene, he coughed lightly, but he stopped talking.

Wei Zhao glanced at him calmly, and pondered: "King Yong'an has been waiting for this king for a long time. He should have something to say to this king."

Jiang Che retracted his gaze from the vines on the wall with a hesitant expression on his face. He opened his lips and said slowly, "King Qin was ordered to investigate the assassination of the East Palace, I don't know..."

"I don't know what you have found? Is this what you want to ask?" Princess Yongan Xie Xiu was the elder sister of Crown Princess Xie Xiang. Jiang Che was concerned about the progress of his investigation, which was not unexpected by Wei Zhao.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Che shook his head. Seeing Wei Zhao's expression of doubt, he added up what he had not finished before: "I want to ask, did King Qin find anything wrong?"

Wei Zhao was startled when he heard the words, and said alertly: "You already know what, and how did you know it?" If the evidence is not conclusive, he is very reluctant to believe the facts that have been found.

Jiang Che showed a little melancholy on his face, and sighed softly: "The prince died suddenly, the princess was devastated, she was pregnant again, the majesty and the queen were very worried, so they ordered the princess to enter the palace to take care of it, so..."

Xie Xiu has been in and out of the palace all day, and she must be well-informed. Jiang Che will know what she knows. Wei Zhao thinks of this episode, and his expression softens a little: "Excuse me, King Yongan, what do you think is wrong?"

Jiang Che's eyes became deeper, his dark eyes were bottomless, Wei Zhao stared straight at him for a moment, completely unable to see what he was thinking, and couldn't help being a little lost.

After being silent for a while, Jiang Che said in a very positive tone: "King Qin doesn't believe that King Xiang is the master of the prince's murder, does he?"

Wei Zhao nodded silently. He really didn't believe it. Wei Mao murdered Wei Xuan. How could this be possible? First of all, he didn't consider whether he had such a motive. The most important thing was that, with Wei Mao's performance from childhood to adulthood, it was impossible to see that he had The ability to design such an ingenious scheme.

Jiang Che smiled slightly: "I don't believe it either, but we believe that King Xiang is useless. His Majesty believes in evidence, and so does the Crown Princess."

Wei Zhao sighed lightly, his eyes became more worried, and he didn't speak for a long time. Jiang Che is right, they need to use evidence to speak, but all the evidence currently known is extremely detrimental to Wei Mao.

During the national mourning period, Wei Chongrong and Junhua did not have much to do every day. Apart from raising their vigilance and strengthening their vigilance, they waited for Wei Zhao's letter. They have a common feeling that time passes very slowly, and it feels a bit like living a year.

Sometimes, Wei Chongrong couldn't help but wonder if these things that he hadn't thought about before were caused by his rebirth. But if he is not reborn, Wei Zhao will die in Fuyu, and if Wei Zhao cannot return to Yujing, Wei Ming's family will die of witchcraft just like in the previous life. And he himself will die tragically ten years later, with no happiness at all in his short life.

In the last life, the Wei brothers and sisters died at a relatively young age. The eldest Wei Xuan was only eighteen years old. There are very few records about them. deep.

But he never thought that from the moment Wei Ming ascended the throne as emperor, all his precognitive advantages had disappeared.

From the upgrade of the grandson to the prince, few people's mentality can not change, the temptation is too great.

After all, what they had to fight for before was only the attention of their parents, a little more and a little less, but it was a difficult situation, no big deal. But in the future, it is the unique supreme throne that will be contested, and the difference between winning and losing will be big.

Generally speaking, in families with three or more sons, the eldest son is the most valued, and the youngest son is the most favored. As for the middle sons, the more the number of sons, the more similar they are to the ones picked up.

Wei Ming and Jun Fei have three sons and one daughter, which just fits this pattern. Of course, they just treated Wei Lan as ignoring him compared to his brothers and sisters, rather than really taking him as a pick.

Think about it, Wei Xuan is the eldest son, the heir apparent, Wei Kou is the only daughter, and the jewel in the palm of your hand, and Wei Mao is the youngest son.

With such objective conditions, even if Wei Ming and Jun Feili did not have any biased ideas subjectively, Wei Lan could easily become the most neglected person in their family. There is no other reason, people's energy is limited, and he happens to be a non-stick person again.

After being tricked by Wei Lan last time, Wei Chongrong racked his brains to think about why he was so disliked by him, and finally came up with an unreliable answer, that Wei Lan was probably jealous of him.

Before Wei Chongrong returned to Beijing, although Wei Lan was not as valued by her parents as her elder brother and younger brother, the situation in their family has always been like this, everyone is used to it, and a corresponding balance has been formed.

Wei Chongrong appeared out of thin air. If he couldn't do anything, Wei Lan might not have any extra thoughts besides laughing at him. But Wei Chongrong is not such a person. He is both civil and military, and he has crushed countless people in Gongxue. Even Wei Mao is convinced of him.

Wei Lan is four years older than Wei Chongrong. It stands to reason that there should be no chance for the two to directly confront each other, but Wei Ming loves his younger brother, Aiwu Jiwu also loves his nephew, and often praises Wei Chongrong in the East Palace, saying that he is good everywhere.

Then there is the Spring Hunting over the years. Wei Chongrong's performance is very good. People like Wei Su who don't like him will reluctantly say something like this, the little wolf cub doesn't look much like Wei Zhao. , The momentum on his body is the same as his.

Accumulating feathers sinking into the boat, grinding iron into needles, and the accumulation of small dissatisfaction is quite impressive, especially Wei Lan is not an open-minded person at first glance. Wei Chongrong couldn't find any other reason, so let's take his brain supplement as a fact.

As soon as the news of Wei Xuan's assassination reached Qingjia, Wei Chongrong decided that it was Wei Lan.

But he was very worried whether Wei Zhao could get Wei Lan's evidence. The crime of murdering the prince is too great. Once someone gets the handle, the identity of the prince will not be able to protect Wei Lan's life.

Wei Chongrong put himself in Wei Lan's position and thought, if he is Wei Lan, he must have great confidence that he can put the crime on others, otherwise he will never act rashly.

Wei Lan is already the king of the county, and when Wei Xuan ascends the throne in the future, she must be the prince. With Wei Xuan's care for her younger siblings, even if Wei Lan does not have the ability of Wei Zhao, the rights and status he can have are the same as the current Wei Zhao. There won't be much difference.

And these are based on the fact that he does nothing. On the other hand, if Wei Lan had attacked Wei Xuan, it would be good not to be discovered, that would be one step to the sky, but if she was discovered, there would be nothing left.

With Weilan's current situation, it's far from a last-ditch battle, so Wei Chongrong judged that he was fully prepared, not to mention 100% sure, 70% to 80% of the time, otherwise he wouldn't have to risk it. Act at great risk.

Seeing Wei Chongrong's worried appearance, Junhua comforted him and said, "Brother Rong, don't always frown, do you have some confidence in His Royal Highness King Qin? Maybe he will find the real murderer in two days."

Wei Chongrong sighed and waved his hand: "It's not a question of confidence, but everyone, he's good at doing things differently, if the royal uncle asks my father to lead the army to fight, I'm definitely not worried at all, But this..."

I don't know whether the first emperor and the queen mother were too successful or too unsuccessful in educating their sons. Wei Ming and Wei Zhao have different temperaments and looks, but their styles of doing things are very similar. around. Not only are the two brothers like this, but even Wei Xuan, Wei Mao, and Wei Chongrong below have this style. Only Wei Lan is unique and can be called an outlier.

Wei Zhao and Wei Chongrong were a little wary of Wei Lan, but Wei Ming and Wei Xuan were not. They were obviously very relieved about their son and younger brother. No matter how close Wei Zhao is to his brother Wei Ming, it is impossible for him to speak ill of Wei Lan without evidence, and he would be suspected of provoking the relationship between the emperor and his son. Wei Lan is backed by the two mountains of the emperor and the prince. If she wants to do something, she is really hard to guard against.

Junhua didn't know what to say, so he could only sit silently beside Wei Chongrong, accompany him in a daze and worry.

Looking at Junhua's innocent and pure profile, Wei Chongrong suddenly had a strange idea. If only Junhua from the previous life was here, he might be able to help him analyze and analyze how Wei Lan planned. He remembered him. Good at this kind of thing.

It can be seen from this that the influence of the environment on a person’s character is still very great. A child who has grown up with his parents in the palm of his hand cannot and does not need to be as careful and careful as a child who has lost both parents and lives alone in a strange and unpredictable palace. Discreetly.

Wei Chongrong had thought that Wei Lan would not leave any clues to be caught, but when the results of the Prince's assassination came to Qingjia, he was still stunned, feeling that the world was full of strong emotions. of unreality.

It turned out that Wei Mao planned the assassination of the East Palace, the elder brother of Princess Xiang, the father of a female official who committed suicide, and the crown prince Ruan Shao, who hurriedly came from Nanyue to plead guilty after hearing the news. The testimony of all of them was combined together, and the real murderer was behind the scenes. Directly at Wei Mao.
