The hero is broken again
Chapter 58 Tan Hualang's Autumn Dew White
Yu Wei outside the pavilion looked at Qi Fei's straight waist, he could only hear a silence in the middle, but he couldn't hear Qi Fei's answer.
Yu Wei gritted his teeth, and moved slightly closer to Yilan Pavilion, intending to eavesdrop on how Qi Fei would answer.
Inside the pavilion, the emperor continued to speak with a smile on his face: "My sixth daughter, Princess Qinglian, you should have met her before. If you have the intention, how about I bestow this marriage on you?"
After Qi Fei heard the words Princess Qinglian, what A Yu had said to him flashed through his mind, and a coldness suddenly appeared on his brows.
He lowered his head slightly and said: "My Majesty, Princess Qinglian is virtuous and virtuous, with golden branches and jade leaves, she must find a lover for her."
The emperor frowned, "Ai Qing doesn't mean that she is the beloved of the sixth princess, but that she is unwilling to accept my marriage offer?"
Although the emperor asked this question, in fact, his eyes were filled with admiration. Qi Fei was the confidant minister he wanted to focus on training, and he didn't want Qi Fei to follow the path of Princess Shang.
Qi Fei nodded and said: "Please enlighten the emperor."
The emperor sighed deeply, and was about to wave the people away when there was a sound behind him.
"Father—"
Seeing that it was Qinglian who ran out with a sad face, the emperor said that his daughter would not give up, and was about to speak to appease her, when an exclamation came from his ear.
The emperor turned his head to look at Qinglian who ran to his side, seeing that her sad face suddenly showed a layer of joy, the emperor couldn't help but glanced up and down at her suspiciously.
Yang Qinglian also said that she was rejected by her savior. It turned out that the person who spoke just now was not her savior at all, so she forgot the occasion in joy.
She immediately said: "Father, you made a mistake. My savior is Master Yu Yu's younger brother, Yu Wei, not Master Qi. This minister is going to marry Yu Wei!"
Qi Fei's eyes instantly became dark, and the hands that fell beside him were clenched tightly.
Yu Wei, who was eavesdropping outside the pavilion, suddenly heard his name, implying what they were saying, his body was unsteady and staggered.
crunch--
The sound of dead tree leaves being stepped on made the people standing in the pavilion move their eyes.
Seeing that it was A Yu, Qi Fei's eyes gradually became turbulent.
Outside the pavilion, Yu Wei waved his hand awkwardly, barely saying "Hi".
After a moment of silence, Yu Wei took a deep breath, straightened his waist and walked into the pavilion, bowing to salute.
"Caomin pay homage to the emperor."
After shouting at Ping, the emperor glanced at Yu Wei who got up and stood stiffly beside Qi Fei in an unclear manner.
"Yu Wei, did you hear what the princess said just now?"
Qi Fei looked sideways at the people around him, the two were very close, and under the cover of his clothes, he pinched A Yu's slightly cool fingertips.
Yu Wei moved his fingertips quietly, seeing that he couldn't pull it back, he had to give up.
He crazily complained in his heart that he came to the world of books to complete the task, but he didn't want to lose his marriage!
If the emperor offers a marriage, if he refuses for no reason...
I'm afraid it will end badly.
Yu Wei went through all kinds of reasons quickly in his mind, raised his hand and politely refused: "Back to the emperor, the grass people dare not lie, but the grass people already have a marriage contract."
"Presumptuous!" The emperor flicked his sleeves violently, and the wind from his sleeves blew on Yu Wei's face.
Yu Wei: "..." Fortunately, the emperor has no strange smell.
The emperor took two steps forward, looked at Yu Wei who quickly lowered his head, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I have heard that Concubine Luo said that you have never been engaged to anyone."
Yu Wei coughed slightly in his heart, pretending to smile bitterly and said, "Caomin and that man grew up together, and they have already communicated with each other. They already plan to ask for marriage and enter the mansion when they grow up. I hope the emperor will allow Caomin to be sincere to that person."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of electric current suddenly surged from his fingertips, and the current caused numbness in his wrist, which made him almost shake his arm in public.
"Oh?" The emperor frowned.
If he refused Qi Fei's marriage offer, he, the emperor, might really stop asking.However, although the young son of the Yu family is regarded as a relative of the emperor, he has no fame. If he is asked to marry a princess in ordinary clothes, if he still refuses, then his royal face will really be lost.
The emperor glanced at Qinglian who was biting her lip and her face was full of sadness, and suddenly said: "Since you don't have a marriage contract, then I will marry Princess Qinglian to you. You can make whatever decision you want with her."
As soon as the emperor's words fell, the electric current that climbed to Yu Wei's wrist suddenly strengthened, and the numbness seemed to spread to his shoulders. Yu Wei didn't know what happened, so he could only hold his trembling body still.
"Father is not allowed! He can only marry his son and minister!" Yang Qinglian hurriedly reached out and grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes, pouted and said arrogantly.
Qi Fei raised his eyes to look at Yu Wei who was standing stiffly, and suddenly closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, there was a look of determination.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Qi Fei lifted up a corner of his robe and knelt on the ground.
The emperor turned his head to look at Qi Fei, "Qi Aiqing, what else do you want to say?" He has already started to get a headache from this matter, his daughter is still unwilling to the compromise method just mentioned, and the party Yu Wei hasn't said anything yet , Qi Fei, whom he valued, looked solemn again, as if he wanted to ask him for something.
Qi Fei stared at Yang Qinglian, raised his hands and cupped his fists and said: "I listen to what the princess said, your savior saved you on the Bandit Mountain in the deep winter of last year."
Yang Qinglian frowned, "Yes."
After getting the answer, Qi Fei looked at the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. At that time, I worked together with the Yufu caravan to release the captives from the mountain. Afterwards, I went to the government to report the crime. The bandit was recruited by the government."
The emperor hummed: "What is Qi Aiqing trying to say?"
Qi Fei paused, and continued: "According to what the princess said just now, the princess wants to marry her life-saving benefactor. That minister dared to say that it was the princess' life-saving benefactor."
"Since the emperor wants to give the princess the will to marry her savior, the minister is so bold that he is willing to request the marriage!"
"Qi Fei!" Yu Wei's raised face was full of disbelief, and the sour feeling in his heart made the tip of his nose sour.
As for Yang Qinglian, her eyes widened in shock from what he said, she didn't react for a while, she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.
After hearing Qi Fei's words, the emperor's forehead couldn't help but twitch, and he felt really headache.
"Qi Aiqing, I just issued an order to you, you shouldn't. Now that I want to issue an order to Young Master Yu, why are you involved?"
Qi Fei bowed and saluted: "I still look forward to the emperor..."
"How dare you—" Yang Qinglian, who had reacted, immediately interrupted him. She also knew that Mr. Qi was very valued by his father, and she was afraid that his father would really have to accept his request.
She hurriedly explained anxiously: "Father, the one I want to marry is Young Master Yu. My minister was married to a man by those bandits. It was him, Young Master Yu, who was forced to marry another man in order to save me. A man got married. But he pretended to be married to confuse those bandits, so he left You Bandit Mountain that night." Afraid that her father might misunderstand, she hurriedly explained that the marriage between the two men was forced of.
After Yang Qinglian finished speaking, she looked at Yu Wei who was standing dumbfounded, with shame quietly floating on her face: "Young Master Yu, the bride you saved that day was me."
"..."
Yu Wei opened his mouth, but quickly closed it again.
After she said this, he also remembered.
At this moment, he deeply regrets why he used the excuse of holding a wedding to confuse those bandits, otherwise, today's incident might not have happened.
After thinking about it, Yu Wei really couldn't let Qi Fei marry Princess Qinglian at the risk of affecting his life's official career.
He was certain in his heart, knelt down on his knees with a bang, and immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, Caomin is willing to accept the order."
When Qi Fei heard what he said, his face changed drastically, and he tightly pinched the corner of Yu Wei's clothes in his hands.
Regardless of the truth about the rescue and the savior, the emperor was already exhausted by the actions of the three of them.
The emperor glanced at the confidant candidate Qi Fei who was kneeling on the ground with his back straight, his eyes fixed on Yu Wei, the younger brother of the concubine Luo who wanted to cry without tears, and finally he looked at the six-eyed who looked at Yu Wei lovingly. daughter.
"..." The emperor took a deep breath and sighed: "I won't continue to be this villain any more. Regarding what happened today, you three should act as if I never mentioned it!"
After the emperor finished speaking, Yu Wei instantly looked at Qi Fei who was still kneeling on the ground, just in time to meet Qi Fei's raised dark eyes, the two of them saw an inexplicable emotion in each other's eyes at the same time.
An unbelievable expression appeared in Yang Qinglian's eyes, she raised her head and said, "Father..."
The emperor's face sank, and he waved his hands and said, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so it's time to enjoy the moon with your mother. Lian'er, you and I will go back to the palace together."
No matter how unwilling Yang Qinglian was, she could not disobey the impatient emperor. She gritted her teeth and looked at Yu Wei, whose eyes were full of joy. She stomped her feet with resentment in her heart, and had no choice but to follow the emperor's footsteps with a full face of discomfort.
After a while, Yu Yuwei and Qi Fei were the only ones left in the Yilan Pavilion, their figures disappearing in the darkness.
Yu Wei opened his eyes and looked at the bright yellow that was about to disappear in the distance, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. While relaxing his body, he also found that the numbness on his body had disappeared, so he quickly let go of the palms that had been tightly clenched into fists.
******
After the banquet in the Moon Appreciation Palace was over, everyone left the palace in a carriage.
On the way back home, Yu Tang and his wife realized that they hadn't seen Yu Wei and Qi Fei for a while, but they couldn't understand how they got along now.
The Yu Mansion used two carriages in total to enter the palace, and Yu Wei and Qi Fei still sat in the same carriage when they came.When going out of the palace to go back to the mansion to take the carriage, Yu Wei, who was sitting by the window of the carriage, lifted the curtain and said calmly, "I won't ride in the carriage with him."
His face was calm, but there was fire in his eyes, he pointed at Qi Fei who was not far away, saying that he was unwilling to ride in the same carriage with Qi Fei.
Qi Fei walked a few steps closer, turned his head and nodded to Yu Yu and his wife, "Brother and sister-in-law, please, I will talk to A Yu for a while." As he spoke, he stretched his long legs, opened the curtain and bent down to enter the room again. into the carriage.
"Who told you to come up? You can't come up!" The words were accompanied by Yu Wei's voice of lowering the curtain.
"Ayu is angry with me?"
Hearing Yu Wei's exasperated voice and Qi Fei's patiently coaxing tone, Yu Tang and his wife had no choice but to look at each other, so they had to lead Su Ying'er to another carriage.
The carriage team gradually crossed the palace gate and headed towards the Yu Mansion.
Inside the carriage.
Yu Wei glared at Qi Fei who was opposite, thinking that tonight Qi Fei actually knelt down to the old emperor for him, and even proposed to the old emperor at the risk of a bad official career, he couldn't help feeling angry.
Qi Fei asked again in a low voice: "Why is Ah Yu angry? Is it because of what happened tonight?"
Yu Wei turned his face away, and snorted: "In order to help me refuse the marriage of Princess Qinglian, you actually gambled with your own future! You are just kidding when you think you have studied hard for more than ten years and finally entered the court to become an official Is it?"
A smile flashed across Qi Fei's eyes, "Ayu was angry because he was worried about me."
Yu Wei's face froze, and he said nonsense: "I'm afraid that my father will be disappointed. I have worked hard to train you to study for a few years, but in the end I may not get anything. If I let him know what you did today, He will definitely be heartbroken."
Qi Fei's eyes flickered, and depression gradually appeared in his eyes.
"...No matter what, I have to do what I have to do today, even if I lose this official position." With his depression, his voice became hoarse.
Yu Wei didn't realize it yet, but hearing his words, he was so angry that his chest was gasping for breath, and his chest ached.
He rubbed his chest indiscriminately, raised his face and said seriously: "No matter what, you can't gamble with this official robe you are wearing in the future. Besides, I will settle the matter of the emperor marrying the princess and me myself." Said Then, she turned her face away and stopped looking at him.
Qi Fei took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them before he said silently: "The solution that Ayu said is to accept the will of marrying the princess?"
Yu Wei was speechless for a moment, so he had to lift the curtain and pretend to look out the window, ignoring his question.
No, the other person in the car didn't give him a chance to see the scenery.
"The person A Yu said today that he will marry when he grows up is... Sister Ying'er."
Yu Wei curled up his palms on his knees, and suddenly coughed in his mouth.
Today, Qi Fei finally said this, and Yu Wei thought that Qi Fei's silent personality would never ask.
He turned his head to look at Qi Fei's calm and unwavering face, met his eyes that seemed to be full of pain, and felt a little guilty for some reason.
Yu Wei avoided his gaze. Thinking of his original villain plan, it seemed that the time was almost up. After calming down, he pretended to be vicious and said, "Yes, so what? Do you still want to come and snatch the marriage?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Qi Fei on the opposite side said a word: "I want to."
Yu Wei: "..." Qi Fei replied that this was the result he wanted, but for some reason, his heart became sour, and the stuffy feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.
Qi Fei raised his eyes to look at Yu Wei who was downcast and silent, and said seriously: "If Ah Yu wants to get married, I would like to."
At this moment, Yu Wei didn't know how to put on his expression, and the stuffy feeling in his heart tended to turn to pain.
He frowned and raised his hand to touch his chest.
Seeing his movements, Qi Fei frowned, and immediately squatted down and asked worriedly: "What's wrong here?"
When his chest and mouth were covered by his warm palms, Yu Wei's body paused, and he silently glanced at Qi Fei: "I'm fine."
Qi Fei's brows were full of worry, and he was about to ask further questions, but at this moment, the sound of Yu Fu's servants stopping the carriage came from outside the carriage.
"Master, we've arrived at the mansion, you can get off the carriage."
Hearing this, Yu Wei got up and bent over to get out of the carriage, greeted Yu Tang and his wife who were in the car behind, stepped across the gate of Yu Mansion, and walked towards his courtyard.
After walking quickly for a while, Yu Wei stopped abruptly and turned around immediately with annoyance on his face.
"Why are you following me!"
Seeing the figure in front of him stop, Qi Fei also slowed down. When he moved near him, he took out something from his bosom and handed it over.
"A birthday present for A Yu."
Yu Wei glanced down, then reached out his hand silently.
Qi Fei suddenly retreated a bit, seeing A Yu's face was confused, he smiled: "I'll tie it on A Yu."
Only then did Yu Wei see clearly that what he was holding was a bluish-colored jade pendant with complicated decorations, and all kinds of silk threads were used in the middle to connect it in series.
He lowered his head to see Qi Fei wearing it seriously for him, Yu Wei was filled with complicated emotions, he thought to himself, this nerd, the two of them were still angry just now.
Qi Fei withdrew her body and said with a smile, "Okay."
Yu Wei looked at the extra string of adornments on his belt, pursed his lips, raised his face and said quickly: "I am angry today because you choose to help others regardless of what will happen to you. You are now You are a member of the Great Yan court, if someone else is in danger in the future, and you don't care about your own safety to help that person, what will happen to you, haven't you thought about it?"
"You are not someone else." Qi Fei looked at the anger in his eyes, and said silently in his heart: I would not help others like this.
"???" Are you talking about who is not someone else?Yu Wei's forehead was full of black lines, as if the newly gathered emotions were like a fish bubble, and Qi Fei punctured it with a "pop".
Qi Fei whispered softly: "So, Ayu, don't be angry."
At this moment, Yu Wei had the same experience with the old master who taught him every day in the private school a few years ago, he really hates iron but not steel!
Yu Wei took a deep breath and turned back to his courtyard.
******
It was probably because Qi Fei and Yu Wei both rejected him on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor felt that he was humiliated.
After Dayan sent news of the flood disaster to the south, the emperor decreed to appoint Qi Fei as the imperial envoy this time, and went to the south for disaster relief with a few carts of grain and silver allocated by the court. What is the source of this flood?
But this is also an opportunity for the emperor to inspect Qi Fei, and it will take a month or two for Qi Fei to come back after leaving.
At the beginning, Yu Wei could still see the letters Qi Fei sent to the Yu Mansion, which contained his experiences along the way. He saw houses and buildings collapsed by the flood, and also saw victims who were so hungry that they began to eat human flesh. ...
Seeing this, Yu Wei couldn't help frowning, thinking of Qi Fei's life experience, he also experienced a disaster.
Qi Fei would send the letter back every few days, and Yu Wei had long been used to going to brother Yu Tang's study to read the letter every time.
On this day, without Yuan Bao's initiative to remind him, Yu Wei was out of the hospital habitually and went to Brother Yu Tang's courtyard. Halfway there, he happened to meet his elder brother dressed in official clothes, walking in a hurry as if he was about to go out.
Yu Wei hurriedly called out to stop him, and asked loudly, "Brother, has the letter from Qi Fei arrived?"
Yu Tang stopped, turned around and frowned and replied, "I'm going out now for this matter. Usually, I would receive a letter from Qi Fei at this time, but today's messenger has not arrived yet."
Yu Wei couldn't help frowning, hiding the sudden worry in his heart, "I'll go with you."
"I'm going to enter the palace, Ah Wei, you are waiting for my news in the mansion."
Thinking of the content of Qi Fei's secret letter he received last time, Yu Tang also felt worried.Looking at Yu Wei who didn't know yet, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but thinking of the entrustment in Qi Fei's letter, he still couldn't tell Yu Wei about Qi Fei's injury.
Then, Yu Tang gave Yu Wei some instructions, and hurriedly prepared his horse and ran towards the palace.
Yu Wei waited from the morning until night fell before seeing his elder brother come back from the palace.
"What happened to Qi Fei?"
Just as Yu Tang stepped across his courtyard, he was startled when he heard a word from a dark corner.
After realizing that it was a familiar voice, Yu Tang asked dumbfoundedly: "Ah Wei, what are you doing hiding in the corner of my yard?"
Yu Wei walked out from the corner next to the flower vine slowly, and replied quietly: "I'm afraid that elder brother won't see me."
Then, he couldn't help asking again, "Is there something wrong with Qi Fei's disaster relief?"
Yu Tang was silent for a moment, and said, "Ah Wei, do you really want to know?"
Yu Wei frowned and nodded, not knowing Qi Fei's current situation, he always felt uneasy.
The two entered the study one after the other, and Yu Tang took out all the letters that Qi Fei had sent over the past ten days, and handed them to Yu Wei who was sitting.
"This is the letter Qi Fei sent back. Every time he sends a letter, he will send two letters at the same time. The one I showed you is the other one." Yu Tang pretended to cough twice before continuing: "This is the letter he sent before he left the capital. I told you, I can’t let you read the other one, but I thought about it, so I’d better tell you if you don’t sit there worrying.”
Yu Wei opened each letter and read it, the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, Qi Fei and his eldest brother had concealed him for so long.
It turned out that after Qi Fei left the capital, he did go to the south with his silver for disaster relief. When passing through a prefecture, he encountered more and more refugees, so Qi Fei now set up a stronghold there.
After leaving the people who guarded the silver and food and grass here to rescue the refugees together with the people from the Fucheng government, they took some people and continued to go to the source of the flood, Xihe City, to investigate first, and to investigate and clear this time. The cause of the event that caused the flood to flood the city.
Unexpectedly, Qi Fei and his team found out the cause of the incident, and the number of victims became less and less. When they returned to the first base, they found that the relief money allocated by the imperial court had disappeared.
After reading it, Yu Wei put down the letter in his hand, and asked again: "Then why did the eldest brother rush into the palace today?"
Yu Tang sighed, and still explained the reason: "Qi Fei felt that someone was following them after they set off from the capital. With Qi Fei's ingenuity, how could he have thought of what would happen and be aware of it? Afterwards, he started to have a plan, and the missing silver was a trap set by him, and sure enough, after he led people away, someone fell for it."
Yu Wei listened carefully.
Yu Tang went on to say: "Qi Fei led people to investigate this matter, and it didn't take long to find out about several officials in that prefecture, but those people have been following them from outside the capital, and there may be someone in there. A minister or prince participated in it."
After hearing what he said, Yu Wei couldn't help frowning, "Then since the results have been found, why hasn't Qi Fei returned yet?"
Facing Shang Yuwei's clear eyes, Yu Tang sighed again, "Qi Fei is injured."
"What?!" Yu Wei stood up suddenly, and the round stool was knocked to the ground by his hasty movements.
Yu Tang quickly reassured him and told him to sit down, "Qi Fei was injured on the way back to Beijing. After he found out about the matter, the emperor ordered him to escort the officials who were involved in the matter back to Beijing, and those people showed up again on the way The target of those people seems to be only the officials who committed the crime, and Qi Fei was accidentally slashed on the arm because of protecting an official."
Yu Tang entered the palace this time to inform the emperor of this matter, the emperor was furious after hearing this, and made an order on the spot, sending a pair of people to rush to Qi Fei's only way.
Yu Tang added, "However, Ah Wei, you don't have to worry. In the letter I received last time, Qi Fei said that the injury was not serious."
Yu Wei's face was full of disbelief, and he thought to himself, I believe in a ghost.
It has been five days since the last letter, and Qi Fei has not sent a new letter back, which shows how badly his arm was scratched, and he can't even write with a pen.
Yu Wei lowered his eyes to think deeply, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Brother, is the governor of that prefecture city surnamed Bai?"
Yu Tang was taken aback, and then thought about it, "After Qi Fei said this, I went to check the file, and the governor of that prefecture was named Bai!"
Yu Wei took a deep breath when he heard that, well, we have found the mastermind behind the scenes.
There is such a passage in the original plot of "The First Traitor". After Qi Fei assisted the young emperor to ascend the throne, there was also a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, it was found that the person who embezzled the relief money was surnamed Bai. It didn't take long to find out that the person surnamed Bai He has a private relationship with the right minister of the current dynasty.
And the right minister is a member of the prince's faction, so one can imagine whose pocket the disaster relief money went to.
After Yu Wei finished thinking, he asked Yu Tang to check in the direction of Prime Minister Right, especially the recent movements of the people in his house, regardless of whether the elder brother believed it or not.
As for the prince...
A dark look flickered across Yu Wei's eyes, it's better to cause trouble for him first.
A few days later, this opportunity was presented to Yu Wei.
In the study room, Yu Wei looked at the list of chrysanthemum appreciation banquets sent by the Prince's Mansion, sneered, and closed it with a snap.
"Yuan Bao, prepare the carriage, my young master is going out for a while."
"Okay, young master." Yuan Bao got the order, and trotted out of the courtyard.
*****
Three days later, in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion.
It is very lively here today, all of them were invited by the princess. It is said that the princess loves all kinds of chrysanthemums very much. This time, she got many high-grade chrysanthemums from Hu merchants, so she couldn't wait to hold this flower viewing banquet .
Usually, the invitations are some friends from the boudoirs who often come and go. This time, because the prince seems to be involved, he asked some families with official positions. Most of the women are women, but there are also men.
Because this is also a rare "blind date feast".
Dayan is open to the people, and the flower viewing banquet held by the princess did not separate the two parties. Yu Wei followed behind the sister-in-law silently, listening to her whispering the names of the invited people and their current positions. .
As he spoke, he would also point out to him what those people looked like.
Yu Wei couldn't help but feel admiration for the sister-in-law who said so much information without stopping.
Yu Tang's wife suddenly said something puzzled: "However, Princess Qinglian has always disliked chrysanthemums. Although the Crown Princess invites you every year, Princess Qinglian has never been to the flower viewing banquet. I don't know why she came this time. ?”
Yu Wei was taken aback when he heard that, and followed his sister-in-law's line of sight, and saw Princess Qinglian standing in an extremely remote corner, and standing beside him was the prince Yang Qingjun, and the two were hiding there What are you talking about.
Yu Wei suddenly had a premonition in his heart that these two people must do something to deal with the Yu family today.
Because Yu Tang and his family did not stand in line for a long time, when Yu Tang went to court, he had been handed the impeachment memorial to the emperor many times by the ministers of the prince's faction, but what was written on it was just trivial matters, and the emperor did not give it. What's happening.
As for Yu Wei, not only did the prince help his younger sister, Princess Qinglian, to propose marriage, but also Qinglian asked the emperor to order a marriage. Not long ago, he always met Princess Qinglian every time he went shopping. , As a result, he had to give up shopping on foot, and now he has to take a carriage to go out.
Ever since he followed his sister-in-law into the back garden, Yu Wei has been on guard all the time, thinking in his heart that today someone will deliver food and drink, and if someone falls into the water and cannot be rescued, and if someone touches his clothes dirty, he will never go there. Change.
However, when Qingyue, the sister-in-law's personal servant, said that his sister-in-law accidentally fell while admiring the flowers, Yu Wei stood up abruptly, his expression changed instantly, and he ran towards the pavilion that the man said without caring about anything. go.
His sister-in-law is still pregnant and will be three or four months old!
Yu Wei quickly came to the pavilion pointed by Qingyue. There was a layer of light red gauze hanging around the pavilion. Through the thin gauze, he saw a woman resting with her head resting on her arms.
Looking at the clothes, she is his sister-in-law.Yu Wei heaved a sigh of relief, calmed down, and then stepped into the pavilion.
Yang Qinglian, who had her back to the person, slowly opened her eyes when she heard the footsteps and heard the familiar voice next to her ears, she couldn't help flashing a gleam of joy in her eyes.
Yu Wei called softly, "Sister-in-law?"
He yelled a few more times, but seeing that the person lying down still didn't move, Yu Wei was angry and worried, so he took a few steps closer, trying to push her shoulders, so that his sister-in-law would wake up and leave here quickly.
Yang Qinglian thought to herself that the time was almost up, so she slowly raised her body.
Yu Wei's hands froze in the air, "Princess Qinglian?"
Yang Qinglian said with a smile all over her face, "It's me, Ah Wei."
Hearing her call Ah Wei, Yu Wei frowned, but he didn't intend to care about it, and was about to turn around and go out immediately.
Yang Qinglian's figure suddenly moved, blocking his way, her raised face was full of sadness.
"Awei, are you so disliked by me? Then why did you save me in the first place?"
"I've already told you about saving you, it's not for you. As for why you didn't like you when you said it, it's not bad for you to pester people over and over again!"
Yu Wei's brows were full of indifference, "Besides, the emperor has already stated that we will have no relationship in the future, and I have no intention of treating you, so why does the princess want people to attract me?"
Hearing the words it doesn't matter, Yang Qinglian bit her lip and said, "It's fine as long as I have feelings for you."
Yu Wei chose not to listen anymore and turned around to go out.
"You can't get out."
What?Yu Wei's walking figure suddenly trembled twice, his consciousness instantly became confused, and his body began to be gradually invaded by a hot wave.
"You won't be able to leave today, Ah Wei."
Yu Wei supported the pillar to stabilize his increasingly weak figure, and said with difficulty: "Don't call me Ah Wei!"
"The pavilion is full of lust incense, you won't last long."
Looking at Princess Qinglian who was getting closer and closer, she knew that she had been tricked, but Yu Wei didn't panic in his heart, and slightly curled his lower lip, thinking that his premonition had really come.
In order to keep his consciousness clear, Yu Wei was ruthless and bit the tip of his tongue. When the pain came, his body also gained strength.
When Yang Qinglian was about to get close, Yu Wei stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder and neck, and then ran out of the pavilion in two steps instead of three, leaving a fainted Yang Qinglian lying in the pavilion.
Knowing that Yang Qinglian didn't dare to follow her to the back garden where she entertained guests when she woke up, Yu Wei thought about it quickly. Yang Qinglian wanted to use this matter to promote her marriage with herself, and the person who came to 'catch the rape' was probably hiding nearby Unsurprisingly, the person with the highest power today must take the lead to come here.
The heat on his body gradually spread to his whole body, a trace of confusion flashed in Yu Wei's eyes, and he couldn't help but staggered forward.
The tingling sensation in his chest shook Yu Wei, and Yu Wei bit the tip of his tongue again, regaining some strength.
Yu Wei didn't run very far, but hid near the pavilion, waiting for the team of 'catching rape' to come.
Maybe it was because Yu Wei was so tormented at this moment that he felt that he had waited for a long time before he vaguely heard the sound not far away.
Yu Wei's eyes lit up, but he took out something he bought a few days ago when he went out of the house from his arms, and poured it into his mouth directly.
After the princess entered the courtyard, she deliberately looked around, "Hey, why did the cat run here and disappear?"
Yang Qingjun pinched a piece of jade hanging from his belt, smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Ali, it's just a cat, Gu Ming will ask the servants to bring you some for you to play with."
The concubine gave the prince an angry look, "The concubine came to see the cat because she saw it was interesting."
"That white cat seems to be spiritual. It just kept meowing at the Crown Princess. It must be related to you, the Crown Princess."
Someone's words immediately attracted everyone's laughter and laughter.
A woman standing beside the crown princess suddenly pointed to the front with joy and said, "Go back to the crown princess, there is a pavilion there, could it be that the cat ran into the pavilion."
Everyone looked sideways, and at this moment, a gust of wind happened to blow open the gauze hanging on the pavilion, revealing the situation inside.
Someone suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that Mrs. Yu's wife? How could she be lying there!" But it was the wife who knew Yu Wei's sister-in-law. When she saw the people in the pavilion dressed like Yu Tang's wife, she thought it was Yu Wei's sister-in-law. fainted there.
The concubine was startled when she heard these words, and secretly tugged on the sleeve of the prince.
Yang Qingjun, the leader, paused his hands, seeing that there was only one figure in the pavilion, his eyes darkened instantly.
The lucky woman took a closer look, "Yeah—look at that outfit, it's really her."
"Why is she lying there motionless, she must have fainted."
Yu Tang's wife pulled and was still talking to her just now, but at this moment she was confused and wanted to run over to her friend, "Ah Xiang, that's not me."
"Ah—" Everyone was startled, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Yu Tang's wife, and found that she was really in the crowd.
"The white cat is probably not here. Ah Li, you should lead everyone back. The meals prepared by the house can be arranged for the table."
The princess hurriedly responded, turned around and led the curious people back the same way.
Yu Tang's wife followed the crowd and turned around, still affected by what happened just now, and when she was confused and guessing, she suddenly heard a splash of falling water and a loud shout she was familiar with.
"Sister-in-law, someone drugged me!"
-
After Yu Tang received the news that his younger brother had been drugged in the Prince's Mansion and was still unconscious, he hurried out of the palace.
He staggered and ran into the younger brother's courtyard, went straight to the room, and asked anxiously.
"Xiuxiu, how is Ah Wei? Are you awake?"
Yu Tang's wife stood up quickly, with tears in her eyes, she shook her head, "The doctor is still in there making a diagnosis. It's been half an hour, and Ah Wei hasn't woken up yet."
Yu Tang went into the room and took a look, and saw Yu Wei with flushed cheeks and closed eyes.It was the first time Yu Tang saw the fragile and lifeless expression on his face, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his eyes.
After he came out, he hurriedly asked what happened.
Yu Tang's wife started talking directly from entering the Prince's Mansion, telling everything she knew.
Hearing that a group of people saw someone wearing the same clothes as Xiuxiu in the pavilion, Ah Wei appeared near the pavilion again, and shouted, "Someone is coming down!"
Yu Wei gritted his teeth, and moved slightly closer to Yilan Pavilion, intending to eavesdrop on how Qi Fei would answer.
Inside the pavilion, the emperor continued to speak with a smile on his face: "My sixth daughter, Princess Qinglian, you should have met her before. If you have the intention, how about I bestow this marriage on you?"
After Qi Fei heard the words Princess Qinglian, what A Yu had said to him flashed through his mind, and a coldness suddenly appeared on his brows.
He lowered his head slightly and said: "My Majesty, Princess Qinglian is virtuous and virtuous, with golden branches and jade leaves, she must find a lover for her."
The emperor frowned, "Ai Qing doesn't mean that she is the beloved of the sixth princess, but that she is unwilling to accept my marriage offer?"
Although the emperor asked this question, in fact, his eyes were filled with admiration. Qi Fei was the confidant minister he wanted to focus on training, and he didn't want Qi Fei to follow the path of Princess Shang.
Qi Fei nodded and said: "Please enlighten the emperor."
The emperor sighed deeply, and was about to wave the people away when there was a sound behind him.
"Father—"
Seeing that it was Qinglian who ran out with a sad face, the emperor said that his daughter would not give up, and was about to speak to appease her, when an exclamation came from his ear.
The emperor turned his head to look at Qinglian who ran to his side, seeing that her sad face suddenly showed a layer of joy, the emperor couldn't help but glanced up and down at her suspiciously.
Yang Qinglian also said that she was rejected by her savior. It turned out that the person who spoke just now was not her savior at all, so she forgot the occasion in joy.
She immediately said: "Father, you made a mistake. My savior is Master Yu Yu's younger brother, Yu Wei, not Master Qi. This minister is going to marry Yu Wei!"
Qi Fei's eyes instantly became dark, and the hands that fell beside him were clenched tightly.
Yu Wei, who was eavesdropping outside the pavilion, suddenly heard his name, implying what they were saying, his body was unsteady and staggered.
crunch--
The sound of dead tree leaves being stepped on made the people standing in the pavilion move their eyes.
Seeing that it was A Yu, Qi Fei's eyes gradually became turbulent.
Outside the pavilion, Yu Wei waved his hand awkwardly, barely saying "Hi".
After a moment of silence, Yu Wei took a deep breath, straightened his waist and walked into the pavilion, bowing to salute.
"Caomin pay homage to the emperor."
After shouting at Ping, the emperor glanced at Yu Wei who got up and stood stiffly beside Qi Fei in an unclear manner.
"Yu Wei, did you hear what the princess said just now?"
Qi Fei looked sideways at the people around him, the two were very close, and under the cover of his clothes, he pinched A Yu's slightly cool fingertips.
Yu Wei moved his fingertips quietly, seeing that he couldn't pull it back, he had to give up.
He crazily complained in his heart that he came to the world of books to complete the task, but he didn't want to lose his marriage!
If the emperor offers a marriage, if he refuses for no reason...
I'm afraid it will end badly.
Yu Wei went through all kinds of reasons quickly in his mind, raised his hand and politely refused: "Back to the emperor, the grass people dare not lie, but the grass people already have a marriage contract."
"Presumptuous!" The emperor flicked his sleeves violently, and the wind from his sleeves blew on Yu Wei's face.
Yu Wei: "..." Fortunately, the emperor has no strange smell.
The emperor took two steps forward, looked at Yu Wei who quickly lowered his head, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I have heard that Concubine Luo said that you have never been engaged to anyone."
Yu Wei coughed slightly in his heart, pretending to smile bitterly and said, "Caomin and that man grew up together, and they have already communicated with each other. They already plan to ask for marriage and enter the mansion when they grow up. I hope the emperor will allow Caomin to be sincere to that person."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of electric current suddenly surged from his fingertips, and the current caused numbness in his wrist, which made him almost shake his arm in public.
"Oh?" The emperor frowned.
If he refused Qi Fei's marriage offer, he, the emperor, might really stop asking.However, although the young son of the Yu family is regarded as a relative of the emperor, he has no fame. If he is asked to marry a princess in ordinary clothes, if he still refuses, then his royal face will really be lost.
The emperor glanced at Qinglian who was biting her lip and her face was full of sadness, and suddenly said: "Since you don't have a marriage contract, then I will marry Princess Qinglian to you. You can make whatever decision you want with her."
As soon as the emperor's words fell, the electric current that climbed to Yu Wei's wrist suddenly strengthened, and the numbness seemed to spread to his shoulders. Yu Wei didn't know what happened, so he could only hold his trembling body still.
"Father is not allowed! He can only marry his son and minister!" Yang Qinglian hurriedly reached out and grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes, pouted and said arrogantly.
Qi Fei raised his eyes to look at Yu Wei who was standing stiffly, and suddenly closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, there was a look of determination.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Qi Fei lifted up a corner of his robe and knelt on the ground.
The emperor turned his head to look at Qi Fei, "Qi Aiqing, what else do you want to say?" He has already started to get a headache from this matter, his daughter is still unwilling to the compromise method just mentioned, and the party Yu Wei hasn't said anything yet , Qi Fei, whom he valued, looked solemn again, as if he wanted to ask him for something.
Qi Fei stared at Yang Qinglian, raised his hands and cupped his fists and said: "I listen to what the princess said, your savior saved you on the Bandit Mountain in the deep winter of last year."
Yang Qinglian frowned, "Yes."
After getting the answer, Qi Fei looked at the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. At that time, I worked together with the Yufu caravan to release the captives from the mountain. Afterwards, I went to the government to report the crime. The bandit was recruited by the government."
The emperor hummed: "What is Qi Aiqing trying to say?"
Qi Fei paused, and continued: "According to what the princess said just now, the princess wants to marry her life-saving benefactor. That minister dared to say that it was the princess' life-saving benefactor."
"Since the emperor wants to give the princess the will to marry her savior, the minister is so bold that he is willing to request the marriage!"
"Qi Fei!" Yu Wei's raised face was full of disbelief, and the sour feeling in his heart made the tip of his nose sour.
As for Yang Qinglian, her eyes widened in shock from what he said, she didn't react for a while, she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.
After hearing Qi Fei's words, the emperor's forehead couldn't help but twitch, and he felt really headache.
"Qi Aiqing, I just issued an order to you, you shouldn't. Now that I want to issue an order to Young Master Yu, why are you involved?"
Qi Fei bowed and saluted: "I still look forward to the emperor..."
"How dare you—" Yang Qinglian, who had reacted, immediately interrupted him. She also knew that Mr. Qi was very valued by his father, and she was afraid that his father would really have to accept his request.
She hurriedly explained anxiously: "Father, the one I want to marry is Young Master Yu. My minister was married to a man by those bandits. It was him, Young Master Yu, who was forced to marry another man in order to save me. A man got married. But he pretended to be married to confuse those bandits, so he left You Bandit Mountain that night." Afraid that her father might misunderstand, she hurriedly explained that the marriage between the two men was forced of.
After Yang Qinglian finished speaking, she looked at Yu Wei who was standing dumbfounded, with shame quietly floating on her face: "Young Master Yu, the bride you saved that day was me."
"..."
Yu Wei opened his mouth, but quickly closed it again.
After she said this, he also remembered.
At this moment, he deeply regrets why he used the excuse of holding a wedding to confuse those bandits, otherwise, today's incident might not have happened.
After thinking about it, Yu Wei really couldn't let Qi Fei marry Princess Qinglian at the risk of affecting his life's official career.
He was certain in his heart, knelt down on his knees with a bang, and immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, Caomin is willing to accept the order."
When Qi Fei heard what he said, his face changed drastically, and he tightly pinched the corner of Yu Wei's clothes in his hands.
Regardless of the truth about the rescue and the savior, the emperor was already exhausted by the actions of the three of them.
The emperor glanced at the confidant candidate Qi Fei who was kneeling on the ground with his back straight, his eyes fixed on Yu Wei, the younger brother of the concubine Luo who wanted to cry without tears, and finally he looked at the six-eyed who looked at Yu Wei lovingly. daughter.
"..." The emperor took a deep breath and sighed: "I won't continue to be this villain any more. Regarding what happened today, you three should act as if I never mentioned it!"
After the emperor finished speaking, Yu Wei instantly looked at Qi Fei who was still kneeling on the ground, just in time to meet Qi Fei's raised dark eyes, the two of them saw an inexplicable emotion in each other's eyes at the same time.
An unbelievable expression appeared in Yang Qinglian's eyes, she raised her head and said, "Father..."
The emperor's face sank, and he waved his hands and said, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so it's time to enjoy the moon with your mother. Lian'er, you and I will go back to the palace together."
No matter how unwilling Yang Qinglian was, she could not disobey the impatient emperor. She gritted her teeth and looked at Yu Wei, whose eyes were full of joy. She stomped her feet with resentment in her heart, and had no choice but to follow the emperor's footsteps with a full face of discomfort.
After a while, Yu Yuwei and Qi Fei were the only ones left in the Yilan Pavilion, their figures disappearing in the darkness.
Yu Wei opened his eyes and looked at the bright yellow that was about to disappear in the distance, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. While relaxing his body, he also found that the numbness on his body had disappeared, so he quickly let go of the palms that had been tightly clenched into fists.
******
After the banquet in the Moon Appreciation Palace was over, everyone left the palace in a carriage.
On the way back home, Yu Tang and his wife realized that they hadn't seen Yu Wei and Qi Fei for a while, but they couldn't understand how they got along now.
The Yu Mansion used two carriages in total to enter the palace, and Yu Wei and Qi Fei still sat in the same carriage when they came.When going out of the palace to go back to the mansion to take the carriage, Yu Wei, who was sitting by the window of the carriage, lifted the curtain and said calmly, "I won't ride in the carriage with him."
His face was calm, but there was fire in his eyes, he pointed at Qi Fei who was not far away, saying that he was unwilling to ride in the same carriage with Qi Fei.
Qi Fei walked a few steps closer, turned his head and nodded to Yu Yu and his wife, "Brother and sister-in-law, please, I will talk to A Yu for a while." As he spoke, he stretched his long legs, opened the curtain and bent down to enter the room again. into the carriage.
"Who told you to come up? You can't come up!" The words were accompanied by Yu Wei's voice of lowering the curtain.
"Ayu is angry with me?"
Hearing Yu Wei's exasperated voice and Qi Fei's patiently coaxing tone, Yu Tang and his wife had no choice but to look at each other, so they had to lead Su Ying'er to another carriage.
The carriage team gradually crossed the palace gate and headed towards the Yu Mansion.
Inside the carriage.
Yu Wei glared at Qi Fei who was opposite, thinking that tonight Qi Fei actually knelt down to the old emperor for him, and even proposed to the old emperor at the risk of a bad official career, he couldn't help feeling angry.
Qi Fei asked again in a low voice: "Why is Ah Yu angry? Is it because of what happened tonight?"
Yu Wei turned his face away, and snorted: "In order to help me refuse the marriage of Princess Qinglian, you actually gambled with your own future! You are just kidding when you think you have studied hard for more than ten years and finally entered the court to become an official Is it?"
A smile flashed across Qi Fei's eyes, "Ayu was angry because he was worried about me."
Yu Wei's face froze, and he said nonsense: "I'm afraid that my father will be disappointed. I have worked hard to train you to study for a few years, but in the end I may not get anything. If I let him know what you did today, He will definitely be heartbroken."
Qi Fei's eyes flickered, and depression gradually appeared in his eyes.
"...No matter what, I have to do what I have to do today, even if I lose this official position." With his depression, his voice became hoarse.
Yu Wei didn't realize it yet, but hearing his words, he was so angry that his chest was gasping for breath, and his chest ached.
He rubbed his chest indiscriminately, raised his face and said seriously: "No matter what, you can't gamble with this official robe you are wearing in the future. Besides, I will settle the matter of the emperor marrying the princess and me myself." Said Then, she turned her face away and stopped looking at him.
Qi Fei took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them before he said silently: "The solution that Ayu said is to accept the will of marrying the princess?"
Yu Wei was speechless for a moment, so he had to lift the curtain and pretend to look out the window, ignoring his question.
No, the other person in the car didn't give him a chance to see the scenery.
"The person A Yu said today that he will marry when he grows up is... Sister Ying'er."
Yu Wei curled up his palms on his knees, and suddenly coughed in his mouth.
Today, Qi Fei finally said this, and Yu Wei thought that Qi Fei's silent personality would never ask.
He turned his head to look at Qi Fei's calm and unwavering face, met his eyes that seemed to be full of pain, and felt a little guilty for some reason.
Yu Wei avoided his gaze. Thinking of his original villain plan, it seemed that the time was almost up. After calming down, he pretended to be vicious and said, "Yes, so what? Do you still want to come and snatch the marriage?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Qi Fei on the opposite side said a word: "I want to."
Yu Wei: "..." Qi Fei replied that this was the result he wanted, but for some reason, his heart became sour, and the stuffy feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.
Qi Fei raised his eyes to look at Yu Wei who was downcast and silent, and said seriously: "If Ah Yu wants to get married, I would like to."
At this moment, Yu Wei didn't know how to put on his expression, and the stuffy feeling in his heart tended to turn to pain.
He frowned and raised his hand to touch his chest.
Seeing his movements, Qi Fei frowned, and immediately squatted down and asked worriedly: "What's wrong here?"
When his chest and mouth were covered by his warm palms, Yu Wei's body paused, and he silently glanced at Qi Fei: "I'm fine."
Qi Fei's brows were full of worry, and he was about to ask further questions, but at this moment, the sound of Yu Fu's servants stopping the carriage came from outside the carriage.
"Master, we've arrived at the mansion, you can get off the carriage."
Hearing this, Yu Wei got up and bent over to get out of the carriage, greeted Yu Tang and his wife who were in the car behind, stepped across the gate of Yu Mansion, and walked towards his courtyard.
After walking quickly for a while, Yu Wei stopped abruptly and turned around immediately with annoyance on his face.
"Why are you following me!"
Seeing the figure in front of him stop, Qi Fei also slowed down. When he moved near him, he took out something from his bosom and handed it over.
"A birthday present for A Yu."
Yu Wei glanced down, then reached out his hand silently.
Qi Fei suddenly retreated a bit, seeing A Yu's face was confused, he smiled: "I'll tie it on A Yu."
Only then did Yu Wei see clearly that what he was holding was a bluish-colored jade pendant with complicated decorations, and all kinds of silk threads were used in the middle to connect it in series.
He lowered his head to see Qi Fei wearing it seriously for him, Yu Wei was filled with complicated emotions, he thought to himself, this nerd, the two of them were still angry just now.
Qi Fei withdrew her body and said with a smile, "Okay."
Yu Wei looked at the extra string of adornments on his belt, pursed his lips, raised his face and said quickly: "I am angry today because you choose to help others regardless of what will happen to you. You are now You are a member of the Great Yan court, if someone else is in danger in the future, and you don't care about your own safety to help that person, what will happen to you, haven't you thought about it?"
"You are not someone else." Qi Fei looked at the anger in his eyes, and said silently in his heart: I would not help others like this.
"???" Are you talking about who is not someone else?Yu Wei's forehead was full of black lines, as if the newly gathered emotions were like a fish bubble, and Qi Fei punctured it with a "pop".
Qi Fei whispered softly: "So, Ayu, don't be angry."
At this moment, Yu Wei had the same experience with the old master who taught him every day in the private school a few years ago, he really hates iron but not steel!
Yu Wei took a deep breath and turned back to his courtyard.
******
It was probably because Qi Fei and Yu Wei both rejected him on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor felt that he was humiliated.
After Dayan sent news of the flood disaster to the south, the emperor decreed to appoint Qi Fei as the imperial envoy this time, and went to the south for disaster relief with a few carts of grain and silver allocated by the court. What is the source of this flood?
But this is also an opportunity for the emperor to inspect Qi Fei, and it will take a month or two for Qi Fei to come back after leaving.
At the beginning, Yu Wei could still see the letters Qi Fei sent to the Yu Mansion, which contained his experiences along the way. He saw houses and buildings collapsed by the flood, and also saw victims who were so hungry that they began to eat human flesh. ...
Seeing this, Yu Wei couldn't help frowning, thinking of Qi Fei's life experience, he also experienced a disaster.
Qi Fei would send the letter back every few days, and Yu Wei had long been used to going to brother Yu Tang's study to read the letter every time.
On this day, without Yuan Bao's initiative to remind him, Yu Wei was out of the hospital habitually and went to Brother Yu Tang's courtyard. Halfway there, he happened to meet his elder brother dressed in official clothes, walking in a hurry as if he was about to go out.
Yu Wei hurriedly called out to stop him, and asked loudly, "Brother, has the letter from Qi Fei arrived?"
Yu Tang stopped, turned around and frowned and replied, "I'm going out now for this matter. Usually, I would receive a letter from Qi Fei at this time, but today's messenger has not arrived yet."
Yu Wei couldn't help frowning, hiding the sudden worry in his heart, "I'll go with you."
"I'm going to enter the palace, Ah Wei, you are waiting for my news in the mansion."
Thinking of the content of Qi Fei's secret letter he received last time, Yu Tang also felt worried.Looking at Yu Wei who didn't know yet, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but thinking of the entrustment in Qi Fei's letter, he still couldn't tell Yu Wei about Qi Fei's injury.
Then, Yu Tang gave Yu Wei some instructions, and hurriedly prepared his horse and ran towards the palace.
Yu Wei waited from the morning until night fell before seeing his elder brother come back from the palace.
"What happened to Qi Fei?"
Just as Yu Tang stepped across his courtyard, he was startled when he heard a word from a dark corner.
After realizing that it was a familiar voice, Yu Tang asked dumbfoundedly: "Ah Wei, what are you doing hiding in the corner of my yard?"
Yu Wei walked out from the corner next to the flower vine slowly, and replied quietly: "I'm afraid that elder brother won't see me."
Then, he couldn't help asking again, "Is there something wrong with Qi Fei's disaster relief?"
Yu Tang was silent for a moment, and said, "Ah Wei, do you really want to know?"
Yu Wei frowned and nodded, not knowing Qi Fei's current situation, he always felt uneasy.
The two entered the study one after the other, and Yu Tang took out all the letters that Qi Fei had sent over the past ten days, and handed them to Yu Wei who was sitting.
"This is the letter Qi Fei sent back. Every time he sends a letter, he will send two letters at the same time. The one I showed you is the other one." Yu Tang pretended to cough twice before continuing: "This is the letter he sent before he left the capital. I told you, I can’t let you read the other one, but I thought about it, so I’d better tell you if you don’t sit there worrying.”
Yu Wei opened each letter and read it, the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, Qi Fei and his eldest brother had concealed him for so long.
It turned out that after Qi Fei left the capital, he did go to the south with his silver for disaster relief. When passing through a prefecture, he encountered more and more refugees, so Qi Fei now set up a stronghold there.
After leaving the people who guarded the silver and food and grass here to rescue the refugees together with the people from the Fucheng government, they took some people and continued to go to the source of the flood, Xihe City, to investigate first, and to investigate and clear this time. The cause of the event that caused the flood to flood the city.
Unexpectedly, Qi Fei and his team found out the cause of the incident, and the number of victims became less and less. When they returned to the first base, they found that the relief money allocated by the imperial court had disappeared.
After reading it, Yu Wei put down the letter in his hand, and asked again: "Then why did the eldest brother rush into the palace today?"
Yu Tang sighed, and still explained the reason: "Qi Fei felt that someone was following them after they set off from the capital. With Qi Fei's ingenuity, how could he have thought of what would happen and be aware of it? Afterwards, he started to have a plan, and the missing silver was a trap set by him, and sure enough, after he led people away, someone fell for it."
Yu Wei listened carefully.
Yu Tang went on to say: "Qi Fei led people to investigate this matter, and it didn't take long to find out about several officials in that prefecture, but those people have been following them from outside the capital, and there may be someone in there. A minister or prince participated in it."
After hearing what he said, Yu Wei couldn't help frowning, "Then since the results have been found, why hasn't Qi Fei returned yet?"
Facing Shang Yuwei's clear eyes, Yu Tang sighed again, "Qi Fei is injured."
"What?!" Yu Wei stood up suddenly, and the round stool was knocked to the ground by his hasty movements.
Yu Tang quickly reassured him and told him to sit down, "Qi Fei was injured on the way back to Beijing. After he found out about the matter, the emperor ordered him to escort the officials who were involved in the matter back to Beijing, and those people showed up again on the way The target of those people seems to be only the officials who committed the crime, and Qi Fei was accidentally slashed on the arm because of protecting an official."
Yu Tang entered the palace this time to inform the emperor of this matter, the emperor was furious after hearing this, and made an order on the spot, sending a pair of people to rush to Qi Fei's only way.
Yu Tang added, "However, Ah Wei, you don't have to worry. In the letter I received last time, Qi Fei said that the injury was not serious."
Yu Wei's face was full of disbelief, and he thought to himself, I believe in a ghost.
It has been five days since the last letter, and Qi Fei has not sent a new letter back, which shows how badly his arm was scratched, and he can't even write with a pen.
Yu Wei lowered his eyes to think deeply, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Brother, is the governor of that prefecture city surnamed Bai?"
Yu Tang was taken aback, and then thought about it, "After Qi Fei said this, I went to check the file, and the governor of that prefecture was named Bai!"
Yu Wei took a deep breath when he heard that, well, we have found the mastermind behind the scenes.
There is such a passage in the original plot of "The First Traitor". After Qi Fei assisted the young emperor to ascend the throne, there was also a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, it was found that the person who embezzled the relief money was surnamed Bai. It didn't take long to find out that the person surnamed Bai He has a private relationship with the right minister of the current dynasty.
And the right minister is a member of the prince's faction, so one can imagine whose pocket the disaster relief money went to.
After Yu Wei finished thinking, he asked Yu Tang to check in the direction of Prime Minister Right, especially the recent movements of the people in his house, regardless of whether the elder brother believed it or not.
As for the prince...
A dark look flickered across Yu Wei's eyes, it's better to cause trouble for him first.
A few days later, this opportunity was presented to Yu Wei.
In the study room, Yu Wei looked at the list of chrysanthemum appreciation banquets sent by the Prince's Mansion, sneered, and closed it with a snap.
"Yuan Bao, prepare the carriage, my young master is going out for a while."
"Okay, young master." Yuan Bao got the order, and trotted out of the courtyard.
*****
Three days later, in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion.
It is very lively here today, all of them were invited by the princess. It is said that the princess loves all kinds of chrysanthemums very much. This time, she got many high-grade chrysanthemums from Hu merchants, so she couldn't wait to hold this flower viewing banquet .
Usually, the invitations are some friends from the boudoirs who often come and go. This time, because the prince seems to be involved, he asked some families with official positions. Most of the women are women, but there are also men.
Because this is also a rare "blind date feast".
Dayan is open to the people, and the flower viewing banquet held by the princess did not separate the two parties. Yu Wei followed behind the sister-in-law silently, listening to her whispering the names of the invited people and their current positions. .
As he spoke, he would also point out to him what those people looked like.
Yu Wei couldn't help but feel admiration for the sister-in-law who said so much information without stopping.
Yu Tang's wife suddenly said something puzzled: "However, Princess Qinglian has always disliked chrysanthemums. Although the Crown Princess invites you every year, Princess Qinglian has never been to the flower viewing banquet. I don't know why she came this time. ?”
Yu Wei was taken aback when he heard that, and followed his sister-in-law's line of sight, and saw Princess Qinglian standing in an extremely remote corner, and standing beside him was the prince Yang Qingjun, and the two were hiding there What are you talking about.
Yu Wei suddenly had a premonition in his heart that these two people must do something to deal with the Yu family today.
Because Yu Tang and his family did not stand in line for a long time, when Yu Tang went to court, he had been handed the impeachment memorial to the emperor many times by the ministers of the prince's faction, but what was written on it was just trivial matters, and the emperor did not give it. What's happening.
As for Yu Wei, not only did the prince help his younger sister, Princess Qinglian, to propose marriage, but also Qinglian asked the emperor to order a marriage. Not long ago, he always met Princess Qinglian every time he went shopping. , As a result, he had to give up shopping on foot, and now he has to take a carriage to go out.
Ever since he followed his sister-in-law into the back garden, Yu Wei has been on guard all the time, thinking in his heart that today someone will deliver food and drink, and if someone falls into the water and cannot be rescued, and if someone touches his clothes dirty, he will never go there. Change.
However, when Qingyue, the sister-in-law's personal servant, said that his sister-in-law accidentally fell while admiring the flowers, Yu Wei stood up abruptly, his expression changed instantly, and he ran towards the pavilion that the man said without caring about anything. go.
His sister-in-law is still pregnant and will be three or four months old!
Yu Wei quickly came to the pavilion pointed by Qingyue. There was a layer of light red gauze hanging around the pavilion. Through the thin gauze, he saw a woman resting with her head resting on her arms.
Looking at the clothes, she is his sister-in-law.Yu Wei heaved a sigh of relief, calmed down, and then stepped into the pavilion.
Yang Qinglian, who had her back to the person, slowly opened her eyes when she heard the footsteps and heard the familiar voice next to her ears, she couldn't help flashing a gleam of joy in her eyes.
Yu Wei called softly, "Sister-in-law?"
He yelled a few more times, but seeing that the person lying down still didn't move, Yu Wei was angry and worried, so he took a few steps closer, trying to push her shoulders, so that his sister-in-law would wake up and leave here quickly.
Yang Qinglian thought to herself that the time was almost up, so she slowly raised her body.
Yu Wei's hands froze in the air, "Princess Qinglian?"
Yang Qinglian said with a smile all over her face, "It's me, Ah Wei."
Hearing her call Ah Wei, Yu Wei frowned, but he didn't intend to care about it, and was about to turn around and go out immediately.
Yang Qinglian's figure suddenly moved, blocking his way, her raised face was full of sadness.
"Awei, are you so disliked by me? Then why did you save me in the first place?"
"I've already told you about saving you, it's not for you. As for why you didn't like you when you said it, it's not bad for you to pester people over and over again!"
Yu Wei's brows were full of indifference, "Besides, the emperor has already stated that we will have no relationship in the future, and I have no intention of treating you, so why does the princess want people to attract me?"
Hearing the words it doesn't matter, Yang Qinglian bit her lip and said, "It's fine as long as I have feelings for you."
Yu Wei chose not to listen anymore and turned around to go out.
"You can't get out."
What?Yu Wei's walking figure suddenly trembled twice, his consciousness instantly became confused, and his body began to be gradually invaded by a hot wave.
"You won't be able to leave today, Ah Wei."
Yu Wei supported the pillar to stabilize his increasingly weak figure, and said with difficulty: "Don't call me Ah Wei!"
"The pavilion is full of lust incense, you won't last long."
Looking at Princess Qinglian who was getting closer and closer, she knew that she had been tricked, but Yu Wei didn't panic in his heart, and slightly curled his lower lip, thinking that his premonition had really come.
In order to keep his consciousness clear, Yu Wei was ruthless and bit the tip of his tongue. When the pain came, his body also gained strength.
When Yang Qinglian was about to get close, Yu Wei stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder and neck, and then ran out of the pavilion in two steps instead of three, leaving a fainted Yang Qinglian lying in the pavilion.
Knowing that Yang Qinglian didn't dare to follow her to the back garden where she entertained guests when she woke up, Yu Wei thought about it quickly. Yang Qinglian wanted to use this matter to promote her marriage with herself, and the person who came to 'catch the rape' was probably hiding nearby Unsurprisingly, the person with the highest power today must take the lead to come here.
The heat on his body gradually spread to his whole body, a trace of confusion flashed in Yu Wei's eyes, and he couldn't help but staggered forward.
The tingling sensation in his chest shook Yu Wei, and Yu Wei bit the tip of his tongue again, regaining some strength.
Yu Wei didn't run very far, but hid near the pavilion, waiting for the team of 'catching rape' to come.
Maybe it was because Yu Wei was so tormented at this moment that he felt that he had waited for a long time before he vaguely heard the sound not far away.
Yu Wei's eyes lit up, but he took out something he bought a few days ago when he went out of the house from his arms, and poured it into his mouth directly.
After the princess entered the courtyard, she deliberately looked around, "Hey, why did the cat run here and disappear?"
Yang Qingjun pinched a piece of jade hanging from his belt, smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Ali, it's just a cat, Gu Ming will ask the servants to bring you some for you to play with."
The concubine gave the prince an angry look, "The concubine came to see the cat because she saw it was interesting."
"That white cat seems to be spiritual. It just kept meowing at the Crown Princess. It must be related to you, the Crown Princess."
Someone's words immediately attracted everyone's laughter and laughter.
A woman standing beside the crown princess suddenly pointed to the front with joy and said, "Go back to the crown princess, there is a pavilion there, could it be that the cat ran into the pavilion."
Everyone looked sideways, and at this moment, a gust of wind happened to blow open the gauze hanging on the pavilion, revealing the situation inside.
Someone suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that Mrs. Yu's wife? How could she be lying there!" But it was the wife who knew Yu Wei's sister-in-law. When she saw the people in the pavilion dressed like Yu Tang's wife, she thought it was Yu Wei's sister-in-law. fainted there.
The concubine was startled when she heard these words, and secretly tugged on the sleeve of the prince.
Yang Qingjun, the leader, paused his hands, seeing that there was only one figure in the pavilion, his eyes darkened instantly.
The lucky woman took a closer look, "Yeah—look at that outfit, it's really her."
"Why is she lying there motionless, she must have fainted."
Yu Tang's wife pulled and was still talking to her just now, but at this moment she was confused and wanted to run over to her friend, "Ah Xiang, that's not me."
"Ah—" Everyone was startled, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Yu Tang's wife, and found that she was really in the crowd.
"The white cat is probably not here. Ah Li, you should lead everyone back. The meals prepared by the house can be arranged for the table."
The princess hurriedly responded, turned around and led the curious people back the same way.
Yu Tang's wife followed the crowd and turned around, still affected by what happened just now, and when she was confused and guessing, she suddenly heard a splash of falling water and a loud shout she was familiar with.
"Sister-in-law, someone drugged me!"
-
After Yu Tang received the news that his younger brother had been drugged in the Prince's Mansion and was still unconscious, he hurried out of the palace.
He staggered and ran into the younger brother's courtyard, went straight to the room, and asked anxiously.
"Xiuxiu, how is Ah Wei? Are you awake?"
Yu Tang's wife stood up quickly, with tears in her eyes, she shook her head, "The doctor is still in there making a diagnosis. It's been half an hour, and Ah Wei hasn't woken up yet."
Yu Tang went into the room and took a look, and saw Yu Wei with flushed cheeks and closed eyes.It was the first time Yu Tang saw the fragile and lifeless expression on his face, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his eyes.
After he came out, he hurriedly asked what happened.
Yu Tang's wife started talking directly from entering the Prince's Mansion, telling everything she knew.
Hearing that a group of people saw someone wearing the same clothes as Xiuxiu in the pavilion, Ah Wei appeared near the pavilion again, and shouted, "Someone is coming down!"
