III Jiangshan

Outside the Qinzheng Hall.

Concubine Li De took off her hairpin and knelt, and her personal maid, who was kneeling behind her, shivered in the night wind.

Not far away, the lights inside and outside the Qinzheng Hall are bright as day.

The gate of the hall was closed tightly, and Wei Zhou stood outside the gate with his helmet on top of his head and his sword horizontally across his waist.Behind him, the inner court guards with heavy armor and sharp blades guarded the entire Qinzheng Hall tightly.

Wei Zhouyang stared at the front without saying a word.All the guards behind him were like cast iron and copper, motionless in the cold wind.

"Squeak-"

The door of the hall was opened from the inside, and Concubine Wei Xian stepped out of the Qinzheng Hall in a graceful figure.

Hearing the voice, Wei Zhouyang hurriedly clasped his fists sideways and said, "Ms. Xianfei!"

Concubine Wei Xian nodded slightly as a response.Then, she slowly walked down the steps and walked towards the place where Concubine Li De was kneeling.

"Sister Defei, the night is cold and dewy, why kneel here and torture your body?" Concubine Wei Xian's voice, like this cool night, has no warmth.

Concubine Li De has been kneeling here for less than half an hour, her knees have gradually lost feeling, there is no other feeling in her body except the coldness.

But she is a strong woman with a strong character, and the pain she endured in her body will not make her will succumb.

She raised her head with difficulty, looked at Concubine Wei Xian, the coldness in her eyes was no less than that of the other party, and asked: "What are you doing here?"

Concubine Wei Xian sneered, and said: "Your Majesty is seriously ill, and I am in charge of the Phoenix Seal, so I should serve the sick here. Why, Sister De Concubine thinks that I did something wrong?"

"Shiji?" Concubine Li De snorted coldly, "Shiji is fake, but it is true to control the situation for your son!"

As she said, a cold light suddenly shot at Wei Zhouyang who was standing upright, "Okay! Okay! Now this palace is dominated by your Wei family! Da Wei is going to change his surname to Wei?"

"Sister is wrong!" Concubine Wei Xian robbed her mercilessly, "Sister was fooled by King Qin's mischief, right? The surname of Great Wei has always been 'Yuan'!"

After she finished speaking, she sarcastically said: "My son is the current crown prince! This palace controls the situation for her to prevent someone from taking advantage of your Majesty's serious illness to covet the great Wei country. What's wrong with that? Yes! My maiden name is Wei Commander Wei is also surnamed Wei, that's because His Majesty trusts the loyalty of my Wei family! On the other hand, what about my sister? Hehe! At this moment, His Royal Highness King Qin is bringing his own soldiers, and he probably has already been captured by the Huben army defending the capital!"

"Nonsense!" Concubine Li De said angrily, "My son, Ren Xiao, came back to Beijing to protect Wei's orthodox heir, the real heir!"

Concubine Wei Xian pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "I understand! It turns out that the King of Qin resisted the decree because of Yuan Chengyin! Then I would like to ask Sister De Concubine, what is orthodoxy? Could it be that in the eyes of my sister, it was abolished by His Majesty's decree?" Is your ex-prince the orthodox?"

Concubine Li De was not afraid, and said tit for tat: "Yin'er was born by Your Majesty Yuan Concubine, and is the true orthodox heir of my great Wei! The others are all fake!"

Concubine Wei Xian laughed instead of anger when she heard the words: "Oh! Since my sister's words are so reasonable, why do you want to kneel here with her hairpin and plain clothes, and plead guilty to His Majesty? In fact, my sister also has a guilty conscience in her heart, right?"

Li Defei's breathing stagnates.If she hadn't cared that her son would be implicated, she really wanted to rush forward and fight Wei Xianfei desperately.

In the deep night, Yuan Youqi walked quickly with Pan Fu, and heard the conversation between Concubine Wei Xian and Concubine Li De from a distance.

She frowned, hurriedly walked in front of the two, bowed and saluted: "Mother Concubine!"

Concubine Wei Xian finally saw Yuan Youqi appearing, she was a little relieved.

But Yuan Youqi turned around and cupped his fists to Concubine Li De, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Ms. De Concubine, Father is sick now. If you also kneel down here and get sick, wouldn't you be worrying Father? It's for the fourth brother, Please also take good care of your body!"

Concubine Li De heard the words, raised her eyes to stare at Yuan Youqi as if she didn't know her, and said slowly: "What the crown prince said is quite pleasant!"

Yuan Youqi bowed again, and said to Concubine Li De's maid, "Why don't you help Concubine De to get up?"

The maid had long been frightened by her master's resoluteness, and now the master is finally willing to listen to His Royal Highness and stop bickering with the concubine Xian. She seemed to be pardoned, and she didn't care about her sore waist and legs, so she hurriedly helped her Watching Concubine Li De get up.

Concubine Wei Xian's face was extremely ugly when she saw Yuan Youqi saying this and doing this again.

Yuan Youqi didn't go to see his mother and concubine for the time being, and said respectfully to Concubine Li De: "Fourth brother is now in the Huben barracks, accompanied by General Mo, everything is fine, Gu has already invited Uncle Su Wang to pick up fourth brother, Concubine De, don't worry!"

Seeing Concubine De's expression slow down, Yuan Youqi said again: "Father is seriously ill, and I don't know how long the sickness will last. I also ask Concubine De to go back to the palace to rest for a while, the days to come will be long!"

Concubine De was unmoved, she stared at Yuan Youqi closely and said, "Does the prince want to be here alone?"

Yuan Youqi said: "Gu has sent someone to invite Zhao Wang, as well as Duan Wang, and several elders."

"Including Ding Xiang." She said, staring into Concubine Li De's eyes.

Sure enough, Concubine Li De's eyes fluctuated slightly, and she said coldly: "The prince is very thoughtful. Farewell!"

After she finished speaking, she took her maid and left without looking back, she actually treated Concubine Wei Xian as nothing.

Yuan Youqi watched Concubine Li De's back gradually disappear, thoughtfully.

As Ah Heng expected, Ding Feng was involved with the fourth brother.

But the fourth brother is the fourth brother after all, and regardless of whether he is a brother of a compatriot, he is even more kind to himself on weekdays.Moreover, the fourth brother resisted the decree and entered Beijing not for himself, but for the sake of the second brother.

Yuan Youqi could have guessed that during the period when Yuan Chengyin's crown prince was abolished, Yuan Chengping was far away in Shu, so he must have handed over sons to Emperor Wei many times, begging for many favors.

The fourth brother is a person who values ​​friendship!Yuan Youqi sighed.

Although she knew that Yuan Chengping might be her serious problem in the future, she couldn't deal with it emotionally.

"Concubine Mother!" Yuan Youqi turned around at this moment, facing Concubine Wei Xian who was as cold as frost.

You still recognize me as your concubine mother!Concubine Wei Xian banged on the door angrily.

"Follow me!" Concubine Wei Xian didn't say much, and walked towards a nearby unoccupied side hall.

Yuan Youqi sighed silently, knowing what he was going to face next, he had no choice but to follow quickly.

Pan Fu stayed far behind, and only after the two of them entered the side hall, he carefully closed the door of the hall, while he guarded the door vigilantly.

"Kneel down!" Concubine Wei Xian sternly shouted in the hall.

Yuan Youqi pursed his lips, and obediently knelt down on the floor tiles.

Concubine Wei Xian stared at the golden crown on Yuan Youqi's head, gritted her teeth, and was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.

Yuan Youqi felt very uncomfortable, and said first: "Mother, please calm down! The child thinks that the father is seriously ill at the moment, and it is a troubled time. It is really not suitable to have more troubles with the biological mothers of the princes. It is the concubine De who voluntarily asks the father for the fourth brother. Take off the hairpin to plead guilty, the emperor is fainting right now, if concubine De is allowed to kneel on the ground in the cold night, causing the root cause of the disease, how will the clan look at our mother and son? Even if the emperor wakes up in the future, it is not easy to explain..."

"Oh!" Concubine Wei Xian sneered suddenly, "I don't know, when did you learn to cherish your reputation so much? It really is that Hunjun is dying at this moment, you know that dragon chair will soon be yours, your wings are stiff , you don’t care what I think about it at all!”

"No! Concubine mother, you have misunderstood!" Yuan Youqi said urgently, "Isn't the child doing this so that the concubine mother can do well in front of the clan and officials in the harem? Could it be that the child sits on that dragon chair?" , Isn't it the wish of the concubine mother for a long time?"

Hearing Yuan Youqi's approaching questioning words, Concubine Wei Xian didn't feel relieved, but felt even more angrily: "What a wish for a long time! For my wish, it's really hard for you! Huh? It's hard for you not to be with that surname Gu in the middle of the night. The little goblin who is stuck in your gentle hometown, rushed here... I really feel sorry for you!"

Yuan Youqi blushed immediately, feeling more and more that the concubine mother was being unreasonable.

"The concubine mother said so, and the child had to argue a few words. That's right! The child is indeed with Ah Heng, but why did the child stay with Ah Heng for a long time? Why didn't the concubine mother ask? If the concubine mother had not plotted against Ah Heng during the day , causing her to be almost ruined by Prince Gong's insult, will the child be so distressed that she will always be there with her?"

"I don't want to bring up this matter again, but why does the concubine mother insist on pressing her every step of the way?"

Yuan Youqi became more and more anxious as he spoke: "Since the concubine mother and Ah Heng are planning together, why do they secretly tamper with him? Is this the concubine mother's attitude towards collaborators? The concubine mother always teaches children to be scheming. Lei Luo, but mother concubine..."

Yuan Youqi remained silent.

"Are you accusing me of being a villain?" Concubine Wei Xian sneered, "This is the child I raised for 16 years! Good boy!"

"Don't dare, my child!" Yuan Youqi was heartbroken, and his eyes were red.

"Mother and concubine is the child's mother and concubine, and will be the child's mother and concubine for the rest of her life. This kind of kindness will last forever..."

Yuan Youqi choked with sobs, and Huo knocked his head on the ground, and said in a sad voice: "My child dare not question any decision of the concubine mother, but Ah Heng, she...she is already very pitiful, please concubine mother... please concubine mother... Concubine let her live!"

After Yuan Youqi finished speaking, he knocked his head hard three more times.

"Here in the Hall of Qinzheng, my son will not delay anything, and I ask my concubine to take more care... My son will go, and I will be back soon! No later than the clan and important ministers will come to visit the imperial court!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up with tears in the corners of her eyes.Fang was about to lift his legs to leave, when he suddenly realized that Concubine Wei Xian was still standing there in a daze, and the dress on her body looked extraordinarily thin in such a cool night.

Yuan Youqi reached out and tore off his cloak.

"Boom—"

A muffled sound shook Concubine Wei Xian's spirit back.

Yuan Youqi had already closed the palace door and left.

Concubine Wei Xian closed her eyes in pain, she felt that she had lost her child.

And on her shoulders was the cloak that Yuan Youqi had put on at some point, and it was still accompanying her in this coldness and loneliness.

The author has something to say: Xiao Yuan is still very emotional
