Bully

Another day passed, and the situation became more and more dangerous. The national teacher ordered a curfew in the capital for the next few days, and they were not allowed to leave at night.From time to time, officers and soldiers walked by on the streets, and they searched the houses over and over again, but nothing was gained except to panic the people in the capital.And recently, Wei Ji's actions have become bigger and bigger, almost to the point where he doesn't shy away from others.

This was what Xu Chengyu told Ming Chuan. Since he left the palace that day, he had been sleepless, and when he came back, there was still a circle of ashes in front of his eyes.

"Is there any news from Wei Nanqing?" Ming Chuan asked.

"I went to the east of the city, and I got some clues." Xu Chengyu frowned slightly, "But when I came out, I saw Zhang Xinyuan, Mr. Zhang."

Ming Chuan thought for a while, and said, "Maybe I followed you."

"I thought Zhang Xinyuan was ordered by His Majesty."

Ming Chuan shook his head, "Zhang Xinyuan is very valued by the National Teacher, he is not my man." After a pause, Ming Chuan said: "If you really find Wei Nanqing, bring him to me."

Xu Chengyu was taken aback, and Ming Chuan said: "This is a very difficult job, stealing people from the national teacher and Wei Ji, Xu Chengyu, can you do it."

Xu Chengyu clenched his fists, "I will not disgrace my life."

The next afternoon, Mingchuan got the news that he had found Wei Nanqing.From the day Wei Nanqing disappeared to when he was found, only five days had passed.But in these five days, the situation has changed.

I don't know how Xu Chengyu did it, but he really ran away from those two people with Wei Nanqing.A Xuanqi was blocked outside the palace, facing off against the imperial army.The situation in the palace was also not optimistic, Xu Chengyu and Wei Nanqing were stopped when they were about to reach the Zichen Palace.

The forbidden army surrounded them, Zhang Xinyuan walked out from behind the forbidden army, and said with a smile: "Master Xu, what are you doing looking so hasty?"

Xu Chengyu protected Wei Nanqing, "Your Majesty announces my audience."

"That's right." Zhang Xinyuan nodded, looking at Wei Nanqing, as if he just saw him, "Isn't this young master Wei? What a coincidence, the national teacher has an order to announce young master Wei."

Xu Chengyu looked at Zhang Xinyuan, and said: "Master Zhang's words are inappropriate, how dare the national teacher go past your majesty. If this word is spread, people in the world will think that the national teacher is a bully."

Zhang Xinyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Lord Xu misunderstood, it is really that His Majesty is not in good health, and has been in the palace for many days to recuperate. I was afraid that you would disturb His Majesty's peace, so I told you to go see the Imperial Teacher first."

The two parties couldn't stand each other, just when Zhang Xinyuan was about to order a robbery, the door of Zichen Palace opened.

Ming Chuan walked out from the head. He was still wearing casual clothes, but his posture was imposing, and he seemed to have the bearing of a national teacher.

Everyone knelt down, Ming Chuan looked at Zhang Xinyuan, and said: "Master Zhang led so many forbidden troops at the gate of Zhenzichen Palace, what is he going to do? Force the palace?"

"I don't dare!" Zhang Xinyuan crouched down.

Ming Chuan glanced at him, didn't look at him again, and waved at Wei Nanqing.

Wei Nanqing hesitated at first, Xu Chengyu patted him comfortingly, and he ran towards Mingchuan.

"uncle."

Ming Chuan patted Wei Nanqing's head and said, "Good boy, you've suffered."

After all, he let Xu Chengyu wait to enter the door, while Zhang Xinyuan and his imperial army remained outside the palace.

Walking into the hall, Ming Chuan led Wei Nanqing to sit in the upper seat, and ordered Eunuch Cheng to invite the imperial physician.He hugged Wei Nanqing and asked Xu Chengyu, "Why did Brother Qing disappear, have you found out?"

"Return to Your Majesty," Xu Chengyu said: "As far as I know, the young master was taken away by a courtier standing on General Wei's side in the first place. But then the young master escaped from somewhere, and by chance, he ended up in the east of the city."

Ming Chuan nodded, touched Wei Nanqing's small face, and asked warmly, "Are you afraid?"

Wei Nanqing nodded, as if she still had lingering fears.

Ming Chuan said: "Don't be afraid, I'm back now."

While speaking, the imperial physician arrived, and Ming Chuan asked him to take Wei Nanqing's pulse.After checking the pulse, the imperial doctor said that Wei Nanqing was just frightened, and she was not well enough to eat and sleep, she had a cold, and it would be fine to take two medicines.

Eunuch Cheng took the imperial physician down to prescribe medicine.

Ming Chuan looked at Xu Chengyu again, and said: "You have worked hard these few days, go to the side hall to rest first, I have something to tell you later."

"Yes." The maid led Xu Chengyu to the side hall.

The eunuch brought a bowl of crispy cheese, and Ming Chuan fed it to Wei Nanqing.

"Princess Jingrong, please see me." The eunuch came in to report.

"Tell her to come in." Ming Chuan said.

In just a few days, Jing Rong became much haggard, and some gray hairs could be seen faintly between her temples.When she saw Wei Nanqing, she didn't even bother to salute.

Wei Nanqing ran down from above, ran to her side, and whispered: "Mother."

Jingrong hugged Wei Nanqing tightly, weeping uncontrollably.

"Sister Huang, please sit down and talk." Ming Chuan said, "The imperial physician said that brother Qing was just a little frightened, and it's fine."

After the initial period, Jing Rong calmed down slowly, and saluted Ming Chuan who was in a high position.

"Jingrong thank Your Majesty for His grace."

Ming Chuan said: "Miss Huang, you are being polite. Nan Qing is my nephew, and this is what I should do."

Jingrong nodded while wiping her tears, she sat back again, put her arms around Wei Nanqing and asked some questions from time to time.

Ming Chuan just watched from above, and after a while, he said, "Nan Qing is out alone, she must be tired. Eunuch Cheng, take the young master to my bedroom to rest."

"Yes."

Eunuch Cheng walked up to Eldest Princess Jingrong, Jingrong said: "Why don't I take him back to the mansion, how can I occupy His Majesty's bedroom?"

Ming Chuan's attitude was firm, "It's okay, I still have something to say to Huang Jie."

Eunuch Cheng took Wei Nanqing from Jingrong and carried him to the bedroom.

Jing Rong wiped away the tears on his face, and asked, "I don't know what His Majesty wants to say?"

Ming Chuan waved away the waiters in the palace, and picked up the teacup, "Nanqing came to play in the palace earlier. I said at that time that Nanqing was born well, with eyebrows and eyes like you, and a little bit like Wei Ji. I want to come to the Wei family Both of them have good looks, if Nan Qing and Wei Ji are like this, I guess that Young Master Wei Qi is not bad either."

Jing Rong's face turned pale for a moment, Ming Chuan looked at her, and continued: "But later I found out that Wei Qi and Wei Ji, a father of Xiao and mother of Xiao, are actually not alike."

Jing Rong could barely hold the tea in his hands.

Ming Chuan sighed almost unrecognizably, and asked, "Whose child is Wei Nanqing?"

Jing Rong forced herself to get up and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Seeing her like this, how could Ming Chuan not understand.With a long sigh, he asked, "Did he force you?"

Jing Rong shook his head.

Ming Chuan asked again, "Then how is he treating you?"

Jingrong didn't seem to expect that Mingchuan would ask this question, she lowered her eyes and said, "He treats me very well."

"When I married into the Palace of the General Protecting the Nation, Wei Ji hadn't entered the army yet, and he was notorious in the capital." Jing Rong said, "I married Wei Qi, but Wei Qi has someone in his heart. The emperor ordered Wei Qi to treat me with courtesy, and the husband and wife respected each other like a guest. Later, he used the excuse to go out to fight, and he never came back for a long time. At that time, only Wei Ji and I were in the mansion."

There is nostalgia in Jingrong's eyes, "Wei Ji lives so freely. Of all the people I have met, he is the only one who can decide what he wants and what he wants to be. I think he is an extremely powerful person. , is more powerful than the father. He has the ability to decide his own life. I have seen so many people who can't help themselves, only Wei Ji, who has nothing to do with these four words."

Mingchuan didn't speak.

"He is a person who does whatever he wants, as long as he thinks, he dares to do it. After staying with him for a long time, I also became unruly." Jingrong said: "It didn't take long, and I got Nan Qing. "

Jingrong was silent for a long time before continuing: "Wei Qi and Old General Wei found out about this. Wei Ji said that he tricked me. Old General Wei took Wei Ji to the ancestral hall and cut off two vines. Article, let him come and plead guilty to me."

"They are afraid that this matter will spread, and let the national teacher seize the handle."

"I know." Jingrong said: "But at that time, when I was so scared, Wei Ji was the only one by my side. He blocked everything for me, and he took care of all the things I didn't want to face. He comforted me. Me, with me, talking to my baby. He welcomed this baby into the world, and for that alone, I can't thank him enough."

"The matter between the two of us was brought to the fore. I don't know what Wei Ji did. Anyway, the old general Wei later acquiesced to our actions. Wei Qi had someone in his heart, and later he simply stayed in the frontier and didn't come back very often. We are outside Uncle and sister-in-law, we will be husband and wife when we return to the mansion." Jingrong seemed to smile, but his eyes dimmed immediately.

"The good times don't last long, the frontier wars are difficult, Wei Ji had to rush over, he asked me to go with him, I agreed. And then you know, old general Wei and Wei Qi died in battle one after another, Wei Ji was ordered to take over when he was in danger gained military power."

Jingrong closed her eyes, "Since then, Wei Ji has been very different from before. I feel very sad that he has finally embarked on a path he didn't want to take."

"What happened later?" Ming Chuan asked.

"My second child with him was named Wei Yeran, and he died early." Jingrong said, "I think it's the punishment from the heavens for the two of us to disregard ethics. Wei Ji lost his father and brother, and I lost Children, this is all retribution."

Ming Chuan had no position to persuade anything, he just felt that his imperial sister was very pitiful, she had lived half her life and suffered so much.

There was a sudden commotion outside, and just as Ming Chuan wanted to ask someone to ask, Xu Chengyu hurried into the hall.

"It's not good, Wei Ji led his troops to force the palace!"
