The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

Wei Chengdan finally became the prince.

The emperor was invited into the Jiuhuan Hall, which was the palace where the deposed prince was imprisoned in the previous dynasty. After a long time, most of the palace has been abandoned.

But no one in the DPRK dared to comment.

Wei Chengtan usually handles official affairs in the East Palace, which is not much better than Jiuhuan Palace.

The first thing he did after taking power was to rehabilitate the Pingjin Hou Mansion and the Princess Mansion.

"Your Highness." The little eunuch who waited on him was picked up by Huai Chun with one hand. In the past, he had traveled a lot between Huai Chun and Wei Chengdan. Look."

The son that the little eunuch was talking about was none other than Huai Chun.

"Leave the palace." Wei Chengdan changed his clothes and left the palace with two guards.

When he arrived at the Imperial Prison, Bai Yan was also there, but now he was dressed in commoner clothes and followed Xiao Jiuqin like an old god.

It has been three or two days since Bai Yan was dismissed from office, and Wei Chengdan is the crown prince, so his previous false preaching of the imperial decree has been confirmed. Others complained about him, but only he and Xiao Jiuqin seemed very comfortable.

According to Bai Yan's words, "I even killed Wei Chengfeng. If I really want to pursue it, I'm afraid I will be beheaded. Now that everyone can't remember to settle accounts after the fall, why don't I be more agile and withdraw from the officialdom first, so as not to Bring disaster to His Highness."

Ignoring personal factors, everyone knew that Bai Yan's choice was correct.

But when Wei Chengdan saw Bai Yan, he still called him Mr. Bai.

"Your Highness." Everyone saluted, but Wei Chengtan looked straight at Huai Chun who was in the innermost place.

No, he has now recovered his identity - Ning Xuanhuai.

The moment before Wei Chengdan looked over, he lowered his head, both of them were shocked.

"Excuse me." Wei Chengdan looked unhappy, went straight in, and passed Ning Xuanhuai, his clothes brushed over the other's calf.

Ning Xuanhuai collected his expression, and moved slightly to the side for half a step, that is, this half step, Wei Chengdan glanced at him sideways, his eyes seemed to lose all vitality at once, Ning Xuanhuai felt slightly astringent.

Wei Chengdan went in.

Yun Zhong sat against the wall, and when he saw Wei Chengdan, he first smiled: "Dan'er is here..." His tone was as calm as if nothing had happened before, just like when Wei Chengdan was just taken to the Grand Master's residence .

"Wei Chengju is dead, you have nothing to hope for, so you might as well recruit everything." Wei Chengdan was indifferent, tall and tall, but the robe made him look extraordinarily thin.

"Do you want to reverse the case for the Pingjin Hou Mansion and the Princess Mansion?" Yun Zhong stared at Wei Chengdan, "It's a thankless thing, and you are still only the prince, the emperor is not dead, and countless people in the court are staring at you. All the things from years ago have been revealed... When the time comes when a large area falls to your knees outside the gate of the Hou Palace, how will you end up?"

"Are you persuading me?" Wei Chengdan sneered a little, showing such an expression for the first time, "You have been secretly paving the way for Wei Chengju for so many years, but has there ever been a moment when you thought about me so thoroughly?"

"Now that you are in prison, what tricks do you want to play?!"

"The truth of what happened five years ago was too simple, but...it involved too much..."

"That's my business." Wei Chengtan's eyes were cold and stern: "You just need to confess, otherwise Yun Qiyin will immediately become an actor, and you will be an official prostitute for the rest of your life."

"You..." Yun Zhong immediately became depressed when he heard the word "Yun Qiyin". He was silent for a while, and finally lowered his head unwillingly.

"Five years ago, the Marquis of Pingjin, his son-in-law and Xue Liangfu... had a very close personal relationship. The emperor was just suspicious at first, but then something happened."

"what's up?"

"Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin studied under Xue Liangfu, one is a god-given general, the other is a rare talent, and Ning Xuanhuai also broke through the world. For a while, the outstanding talents in Yingdu were not half as good as them. Look at the prince in front of you... You are content with the status quo, you have no intention of power, Wei Chengfeng is only a little clever, and Wei Chengju is evil and domineering, after all, the emperor looks down on anyone."

"If it's just like this, it's fine, but during that autumn hunt, the emperor accidentally fell into a trap in the dense forest, and the people below couldn't find it, so they asked Pingjinhou and the son-in-law to arrange people to search for the emperor's trace."

Wei Chengdan found it ridiculous: "Just because of this..."

Yun Zhong glanced at him: "At that time, the seeds of jealousy had already been buried in the emperor's heart, just waiting to break out of the ground...and five years ago, the son-in-law discovered a mine in Suiyang Mountain, which was the beginning of suspicion."

"Later, the barbarians from Beidi invaded aggressively. The Marquis of Pingjin was brave and good at fighting. The Daliang army he led was one against three. The people in northern Xinjiang regarded him as a god general."

"During that time, the most popular one was... Marquis of Pingjin, breaking the Tartars, expelling bandits, and Su Shanhe!"

"All the prefectures in northern Xinjiang only know the Marquis of Pingjin, and no one cares about the imperial envoys sent by the emperor. If anyone is drawn out randomly, they all worship Lord Xiaohou as a god... Some people even erect statues for him."

"The erection of the statue in the ancestral hall is a rumor." Bai Yan suddenly stepped out from the shadows, "I think the Grand Master is very clear about who is behind the scenes."

He held a piece of paper in his hand: "And there are more than these..." He loosened his fingers, and the paper fell slowly, "Since Pingjin Houma and others gained power, you have started to plan these things. The emperor is very suspicious. You know him better, so that's why your plan worked out from the start."

"It's just that you never expected that Marquis Pingjin defeated Beidi one after another in northern Xinjiang. You can't find a reason to impeach him. At the same time, the mine in Suiyang Mountain was discovered by the concubine. Huoqiying is an important place in Daliang , you have been staring at this fat job from the very beginning, you want to arrange your own people in, but there is a son-in-law in front of you."

"Not only that, but also Xue Liangfu, the chief assistant of the cabinet. Half of the disciples in the world come from the Xue family. You want the Yun family to rise to the top... Whether it is the Pingjin Hou's Mansion or the Prince Consort's Mansion, or even Xue Liangfu, the chief minister of the cabinet, they are all in your opinion. It is an obstacle on your way to openness."

Bai Yan wiped out all of Yun Zhong's pretense, Yun Zhong leaned against the wall, and sighed leisurely: "If you were like this five years ago, maybe the Pingjin Marquis Mansion wouldn't be withered like it is now. It looks like the winner and the loser, the Marquis of Pingjin lost to me five years ago, but I lost to you five years later, I think it's a retaliation, and I don't have any grievances."

Yun Zhong stretched out his hand to ask them to bring the paper, he stretched out his hand slowly: "You can also let me make a bet, but I still have one condition."

"Now that things have happened, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with us?"

"I only have one thing. Qiyin is innocent. He is just a weak woman. She doesn't know what I did before. Besides, Tan'er, she is your cousin, so you let her go and give her a lifetime of freedom... ..."

Yun Zhong had a sad look on his face, he counted his sons and daughters, but the one he loves the most is Yao Nv, Yun Qiyin is a bit arrogant at times, but she has never done anything bad, Wei Chengtan thought about it, and was about to say yes to Yun Zhong , but unexpectedly Ning Xuanhuai grabbed his arm.

Wei Chengdan watched Ning Xuanhuai take out a dagger from his bosom, his face remained unchanged, he cut off the tendons in both hands of Yun Zhong in front of everyone, his shrill shouts resounded throughout the prison, but he His face remained motionless, and he even had a smile on his face.

"Is Yun Qiyin innocent?" He laughed wildly and wickedly: "Aren't other people innocent? Back then, the entire Princess Mansion was innocent. My mother, my father and the young children in the house, What did they do wrong?"

"Ning..." Wei Chengdan just said a word, Ning Xuanhuai turned his head and interrupted him: "Don't stop me today, even if I commit crimes today, Yunzhong will not live, and neither will everyone in Yunfu." Good fate, no one can be an exception!"

Wei Chengdan was stunned.

Ning Xuanhuai's eyes were full of hostility. He stared at him with extremely strange eyes, as if looking at his own enemy. Wei Chengdan couldn't help but took a step back. He wanted to leave here, at least out of Ning Xuanhuai's sight. There shouldn't be such a look between the two of them.

Wei Chengdan left.

He didn't say anything else, and he didn't even notice Ning Xuanhuai's expression when he left.

What happened to Yun Zhong in the end, he didn't want to know.

It's just that within two days, he heard that Yun Qiyin ruined his face and invited him into a nunnery.

Before leaving, she seemed to be holding a simple and unadorned jar. Some people said that it contained the belongings left by Yun Zhong, but others said that it contained Yun Zhong's ashes.

Xiao Jiuqin stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, and Bai Yan walked behind him at some point, both of them had the sunshine after the snow in their eyes.

Xiao Jiuqin grabbed Bai Yan's hand: "Before you promised Yun Qiyin one thing, what was it?"

Bai Yan glanced at Xiao Jiuqing, then looked into the distance, "She wanted me to leave Yun Zhong's body, but I couldn't do it, so in the end I simply burned Yun Zhong's stump to ashes and let her Take it."

"Frustrated, do you think Ning Xuanhuai's methods are cruel?" Xiao Jiuqin asked him.

"Compare your heart to your heart, Yun Zhong has done many evils, so it is not easy for him to die happily, Ning Xuanhuai is not Huai Chun..." Bai Yan's words were strange, but Xiao Jiuqin didn't have any use to refute them, and he followed his meaning.

"Ning Xuanhuai is already worried about Wei Chengdan's emotions, otherwise he would not be able to enter the nunnery so easily after seeing Yun Qiyin... After all, Ning Xuanhuai has not yet reached the end of the road, he wants to give himself a Chance."

"It depends on whether Wei Chengdan can figure it out..."

Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin looked at each other and smiled.

In nearly a month, Wei Chengtan thoroughly checked all the people who were related to the incident at Pingjinhou Princess Mansion five years ago.

Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin looked at each of them wearing shackles, being exiled or beheaded, and felt a little bit of joy in their hearts.

Five years later, Pingjinhou Mansion and Princess Mansion were wronged and rehabilitated. Bai Yan finally brought Xiao Jiuqin into Bai Mansion himself, and led him into the main courtyard.

The shrine in the main hall is carefully organized and spotless.

Xiao Jiuqin was completely stunned.

Every name here makes his eyes hurt - all the people in Pingjinhou Mansion are here.

Not only that, there is also a rough and even out of place tablet in the corner, with the words "Bai Yan Bit" written on it.

"At that time, I was afraid that one day I would not be able to hold on...so I placed a memorial tablet here..." Bai Yan's eyes were a little cramped.

Xiao Jiuqin hugged him, "I'm sorry."

It was me who was stupid and ignorant, it was me who was cowardly and cowardly, and it was me... I came back late, five years wasted!

He kissed Bai Yan's brow and tightened his arms.

For half my life, I have been alone in my broken home. Fortunately, God has kindly treated me and left you, allowing me to have a place to live. From now on, the mountains will be high and the rivers will last forever. Apart from you... I have nothing else to ask for!
