He breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back to his original position to drink tea.

Min Qiu entered the room and closed the door, "General, you..."

"Ok?"

As if mustering up all the courage, Min Qiu frowned and struggled for a long time before saying: "He treats you like this, do you still like him?"

"Are you eavesdropping outside?"

"...This is my wing."

"The entire Xue Mansion is mine!"

Xue Ziqin growled impatiently.

Min Qiu has long been used to his attitude, so he simply pretended he didn't hear it, and continued: "The general made it clear before his death that he wanted to support the third prince, do you really want to disobey his last wish and assist the ninth prince?"

"Yu'er is also a member of the Xue family, so I don't disobey him by doing this." Xue Ziqin said, his voice obviously lacking confidence.

Min Qiu continued: "But he doesn't like you."

"how do you know?"

"I heard it all, the Ninth Prince just wants the soldiers in the hands of the Xue family!" Min Qiu said eagerly, "General, you don't know, he is just using you."

"I know." Xue Ziqin said with his head down. When he said this, he was in a strange mood and his voice was very low. "You never liked anyone, you won't understand."

"Why don't I understand?" About this matter is now on the verge of breaking out. If Xue Ziqin really does this, there may not be a good result in the end.Min Qiu was extremely worried, and then his tone became anxious, and he said indiscriminately: "I..."

"Do you have someone you like?" Xue Ziqin squinted at him, "The barracks are full of rough guys, you can't even see girls, who are you fooling?"

"...Don't talk about me, just talk about the Ninth Prince." Min Qiu said coldly, "His ambition is obvious. With his status, he wants to become emperor unless the Xue family helps him."

"Correct."

"Then do you want to continue?"

"Yes." Xue Ziqin said indifferently, "Since I agreed, I will do it, regardless of whether he uses me or not. In other words, if the person you like wants to use you to achieve his goals, you will help him?"

"I……"

"Will it be?"

"Yes." Min Qiu said with twinkling eyes.

"That's it." Xue Ziqin put down the teacup, "I like him, I will give him whatever he wants."

"Then why didn't you..." Min Qiu almost said those two words, and stopped abruptly.

We are all men, so it's okay to speak rough, Xue Ziqin said indifferently: "A gentleman does not take advantage of others' danger."

"General, forget it." Min Qiu glanced at Xue Ziqin's bulging crotch, "Gentlemen don't insist on talking to people."

"Go away!" Xue Ziqin scolded impatiently.

……

After receiving the news of Xue Changfeng's death, Wei Lin received the news from Wei Yuanting, urging him to leave the palace and go to Xue's residence with him to pay homage.

"How is the palace?" Wei Yuanting walked ahead with his hands behind his back, and Wei Lin followed him like a servant. Hearing Wei Yuanting's question, he tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's not bad, but the emperor is about to die. gone."

"Xue Changfeng is dead, the strength of the Xue family has been greatly reduced, his adopted son is not a general after all." Wei Yuanting said.

Wei Lin suddenly thought, he seems to have something to go out of the palace right now.

He quietly raised his eyes to look at Wei Yuanting's back, and suddenly asked: "Father, do you really want to help the Second Prince to the throne?"

"Otherwise? If someone from the Xue family succeeds, they will definitely not let the Wei family go."

"I have a countermeasure right now that can make the third prince lose power." Wei Lin said.

Wei Yuanting glanced back suspiciously, obviously doubting Wei Lin's ability.

Wei Lin just pretended not to see it, and continued: "There is a six-fingered man who can change his appearance and is skilled in escape methods. This man was once the third prince's confidant. Before that, the third prince plotted to murder the eldest prince, and now he is in my hands." , the only thing left is to find this person... the crime of brother murder, the third prince should not be able to recover."

Hearing Wei Lin's words, Wei Yuanting's footsteps stopped.He turned around and looked carefully at Wei Lin's expression, but Wei Lin turned away uncomfortably and said, "Don't look at me like that, it's really uncomfortable."

"The murder of the First Prince was really the Third Prince's fault?" Wei Yuanting asked with raised eyebrows.

"It's absolutely true." Wei Lin said without hesitation, "I've been investigating for a long time."

"What are you investigating this for?"

"At that time, one of my brothers also died in the hands of that person." Wei Lin said, "You can treat me as selfish, anyway, I told you the matter, if you don't want to help, then I have nothing to do."

"Okay, I'll check." Wei Yuanting said in a deep voice, but with a smile on his face, he started to walk again.Seeing that Wei Yuanting agreed, Wei Lin panicked again, for fear that he would show his feet and arouse his suspicion.

He knew Wei Yuanting's abilities.

Although he and Jiang also swore that the second prince would not be able to let a talent like Nixiu go, he still couldn't figure out whether Niqiu would continue to protect him in the palace with a different face, or be on standby outside the palace at any time.If he is outside the palace, it is obviously inconvenient for him as the commander of the imperial army, and he cannot go out of the palace to search for traces outside the palace from time to time.

But loach will definitely not leave Xiangcheng, Wei Lin can be sure of this.

The reason is very simple. Judging from what the second prince has done, he is definitely a ruthless person.Seeing that Loach is involved in such a big event, he is obviously a confidant. Apart from being loyal, this kind of confidant has only one way of thinking, and it is absolutely impossible to let him go.

So he suddenly had a whim, and simply borrowed the influence of his own father to do this.

But Wei Yuanting's support for the empress' lineage is well known, and it is really impossible for him to help the third prince to track down the evidence of the second prince's crime.So Wei Lin played tricks and said all these things were done by the third prince.

He pondered carefully, raising his eyes to see Wei Yuanting's back from time to time.Wei Yuanting seemed to have no doubts at all, and Wei Lin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

After all, what he said was well-founded, especially since the Third Prince was the mastermind behind the murder of the First Prince. Many people must have thought so before.

Not long after the two left, they arrived at Xue's residence.

Wei Tianqi stood in front of the door, waiting for the two of them.

When Wei Lin saw him, he remembered that it was understandable for Wei Yuanting to bring his two sons to the ceremony today.But he hadn't seen Wei Tianqi for a long time.Since he beat Wei Tianqi, Wei Tianqi has been recuperating in his own room until Wei Lin entered the palace, and the two never saw each other again.

"Father." Wei Tianqi said to Wei Yuanting, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Wei Lin.

With this glance, he happened to meet Wei Lin's gaze.The hatred in his eyes was undisguised, but thinking of Wei Lin's ruthless attack that day, he couldn't help but get scared, and quickly moved his eyes away from him.

"En." Wei Yuanting said, "How long have you been waiting?"

"Not long ago, the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince came, and now the original picture is inside." Wei Tianqi said politely.

Since Wei Lin came back, his status in the Wei family has deteriorated greatly, and he dare not be as stubborn as before.

Wei Lin stepped forward with a smile and said, "Is the injury healed?" As he spoke, he even raised his chin very cheaply, which was completely provocative.

When Wei Tianqi heard the words, he immediately got angry, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only answer with a "hmm" with his nose.

Wei Lin, one day I want you to know how powerful I am.He thought so in his heart, not daring to show any displeasure on his face.Now that Wei Yuanting is obviously protecting Wei Lin more, it would be too unwise for him to compete with Wei Lin again.

Seeing Wei Tianqi's unwillingness to entangle, Wei Lin didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and the father and son entered Xue's mansion one after another.

"General Wei Yuanting sent an elegiac couplet—"

After entering Xue's mansion, Wei Lin looked around.It stands to reason that Xue Ziqin, as his son, should kneel in front of the mourning hall, but when he looked there, he only saw a delicate beauty wiping tears.As they got closer, Wei Lin also saw the beauty's face clearly, and it seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Wei Lin looked behind her again, his mother was standing in sackcloth.

Wei Yuanting obviously saw it too, the one kneeling in front of him offering incense was Yuan Zhi, he hurriedly whispered to Wei Lin: "When I see your mother later, don't make any noise."

"understood."

Yuan Zhi stood up and saluted Wei Yuanting, who also bowed his hands in return.Xue Changfeng had just passed away, even if the two people in the court were not of the same party, they would not come here to deliberately disrupt the situation now.Wei Lin secretly admired Wei Yuanting's face that outsiders can't see the flaws, it's really amazing.

But what he didn't know was that Wei Yuanting didn't feel any better.

He and Xue Changfeng had known each other for more than [-] years, and their faces were torn apart because of Fu Yang, but the sincerity and sincerity they had when they were young was not fake.The affection at those times, not only will not pass away because of time, but when they are middle-aged, they will think of it and miss it even more.

After taking the incense and lighting it, he solemnly knelt down in front of Xue Changfeng's spiritual tablet, and then stood up and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

After doing all this, he turned sideways to Cen Liyun and Fu Yang and said, "My condolences."

Fu Yang's eyes were red and slightly swollen, and he knew that he had cried.When she heard Wei Yuanting's words, she took a deep look at him and replied, "My condolences to you too."

Wei Yuanting smiled bitterly: "Why do I feel sad?"

Wei Lin and Wei Tianqi also offered incense together, and stood on Fu Yang's stool with Wei Yuanting.He glanced at Fu Yang and nodded, as a greeting.Right now there are many courtiers here, if he calls Fu Yang his mother, others will inevitably talk about it.

Fu Yang probably wanted to say something to him, so he whispered a few words to Cen Liyun, then passed by Wei Lin, and lightly poked his waist.

Wei Lin watched her leave, then whispered into Wei Yuanting's ear, "My mother called me."

"Yes." Wei Yuanting replied without looking sideways.

Wei Lin followed the direction Fu Yang had gone before.

He was led by Fu Yang all the way to the backyard before stopping. Fu Yang was standing by the lake, he stepped forward and said, "Mother."

"Lin'er..." Fu Yang's complexion was not very good, and his eyes were red and swollen. As soon as Wei Lin called out "Mother", Fu Yang couldn't help his nose sore and began to cry.She reached out to hug Wei Lin, and Wei Lin had grown so tall before she knew it.

"Mother, my condolences." Wei Lin said softly.

"Mother may have to leave." Fu Yang raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and tried his best to calm down his voice.

"Go again, where are you going?"

"I don't know, let's take a look." She let go of her hand and straightened Wei Lin's skirt, "Changfeng is gone, there is no point in staying in Xiangcheng, I should go."

"Could it be..." Wei Lin recalled that three years ago, he and Fu Yang had met at Lianshui Gate, and he was the one who told Fu Yang about Xue Changfeng's assassination.Could it be that Fu Yang came back specially for him?

Wei Lin guessed in his heart, but Fu Yang nodded and admitted: "I came back for him."

"Mom, don't be too sad..."

"Lin'er, mother likes freedom, and also likes you." Fu Yang looked at him seriously and said, "In the past, I thought your father would take good care of you, but unfortunately he is just a jerk."

"Now, you've grown up and are on your own, mother doesn't have to worry."

As Fu Yang spoke, Wei Lin suddenly remembered what Fu Yang said when he was five years old when he left.

Complain?Don't complain, he's already used to it, family affection is very indifferent in his eyes, it's not as good as a brother who shares weal and woe in a tent.

"Is that... goodbye by fate?" Wei Lin said with a smile.

"It's a pity that I haven't met Lin'er's favorite person in person yet."

Wei Lin immediately restrained his expression, and said solemnly: "If there is a destiny, someone Wei will definitely bring his wife to visit Miss Fu in person."

Fu Yang was so amused by his serious nonsense appearance that he burst into tears immediately.
