Xia Lian hastily explained, "This servant just happened to pass by Yongde Gate, and on the way, I wanted to go to the Imperial Hospital to ask the imperial doctor for a decoction that can calm the mind. Because the princess has been unable to sleep at night and is overworked, the servant did not say anything. I am afraid that the princess will blame the servant and make the decision without permission. The servant just wants to share the princess' worries."

The jade bead string in Wei Anrong's hand suddenly stopped, and he sighed softly, "I entered the palace, and you followed me. I always treat you better than others, so I don't want to doubt you. But recently, you really Too abnormal. Xia Lian, I still remember that when I first entered the palace, you took care of everything in this palace.

After so many years, we should also settle this account carefully. "

Xia Lian knelt on the ground, her face became flustered, "Princess, this servant has never had any second thoughts about you. This servant has never done anything to offend the princess."

Wei Anrong smiled faintly, "You have never done anything to offend me, but you are not from me. So I can't keep you here."

Xia Lian shook her head, looking aggrieved.Jin Xi's brows loosened, it's useless to be stubborn for this sake.She stepped forward to salute Wei Anrong, then turned to Xia Lian and said, "Before, I was assassinated, but I was rescued. I always thought that person was Lu'er, because she was the most suspicious. I I didn't even think that the person who saved me would be you.

Until I came to Qinghe Hall, when I was talking to Mr. Meng, I found you sneaking out of the bedroom.I'm keeping quiet, because I still don't know your intentions.Since then, I have begun to pay attention to your every move.Yesterday, Master Meng and I were in the palace, and you appeared again secretly.Although you are not close to eavesdropping, you are very concerned about everything between me and Mr. Meng.

That's right, Lu'er is a member of the King of Liang, but Lu'er was just sent by the King of Liang to monitor me.Leaving the archives, Lu'er has no use value.But the strangest thing is that you want to call Lu'er to Qinghe Hall without authorization.You also told the prince that this is what the princess meant.

If you want to quibble, you can call the princes and princes at the archives to confront them.

You are the personal servant girl next to the princess, and you are very skillful.I also asked the princess, on the day you were assassinated, you left Qinghe Hall on the pretext of going to the warehouse to look for me.After returning, he told the princess that he had never seen me.There are always guards watching the night from Qinghe Hall to the warehouse. Who can prove that you have been to the warehouse?

Xia Lian, do you need me to reveal your identity now? "

Xia Lian still refused to admit it, "You are talking nonsense. It is because of you that you robbed Master Meng, and now you want to bite me back. The princess is so kind to you, why do you frame the princess everywhere? Princess, the person who wants to frame you is not Slave, it's her!"

Wei Anrong took a deep breath, and dissipated the years of affection between master and servant with this breath.Then, she narrowed her eyes coldly and shouted sharply, "Shut up!"

Xia Lian has followed Wei Anrong for so many years, and she didn't see her get angry many times.Wei Anrong has always been forbearing, and it is this forbearance that makes her the most important person around the emperor.

Now that Wei Anrong has lost his temper, Xia Lian couldn't help being afraid, and didn't dare to say another word.

"When I enter the palace, you will follow me. King Liang is about the same age as Bengong, and he was only a child at that time. The city will not be like it is now. Although you belong to King Liang, what you listen to is not King Liang's words."

Wei Anrong sneered as he spoke.

Jin Xi was slightly surprised. She suspected Xia Lian, but she never thought that Xia Lian was not from King Liang.

Xia Lian was even more surprised. At this moment, she realized that after so many years of disguise and lurking, in front of Wei Anrong, she was just a transparent person, and nothing could escape her eyes.

"Princess, what is the princess talking about? The slaves don't understand."

"Since you don't understand, then I will explain everything to you clearly. I still remember that when I entered the palace, you were personally sent by King Fucheng. At that time, you also He's only 12 years old, but he has a good kung fu. King Fucheng asked you to protect the safety of this palace, and this palace is grateful, and I almost believed it.

Because the emperor takes good care of me, putting you by my side is also a pair of eyes that monitor me and the emperor all the time.Speaking of monitoring, the Queen Mother was in power at that time, and it was the Queen Mother who should have been monitoring.But who is King Fucheng? He has long seen that there will be a loser between the emperor and the queen mother.

As time goes by, the emperor gradually grows up, and your move will last for several years.

Speaking of which, this Uncle Wang in this palace is really patient. "

Xia Lian's complexion suddenly changed. She had followed the high-ranking woman in front of her for many years, and everything from the city to the scheming was beyond her expectations.She has been cautious, but in the end her identity was revealed.

Wei Anrong smiled even more indifferently, and continued, "Since then, you mentioned Meng Qiucheng in front of me again and again, just because you saw how much I appreciate Meng Qiucheng. But you forgot, how can a court lady interfere with the master? What about your marriage? Or rather, you haven't forgotten, but you are afraid that you can't wait and want to bring Bengong and Mr. Meng together so that you can explain to King Liang.

But you don't want Jin Xi to live, so you target her everywhere.So, you save people, but you also kill people.It's two mistakes.

Make mistakes again and again, do you think Ben Gong can't see it? "

Xia Lian couldn't believe that everything about her was firmly controlled by the person in front of her.Her thoughts and intentions, and even any means, are just tricks for this person to see through at a glance.

Still unwilling, she bit her lower lip and asked, "Princess, when did you know all this?"

"If this palace says, I have known it all along, you can trust it."

Xia Lian slumped on the ground, she believed, how could she not believe such a wise and intelligent person.

"Although you are just someone else's pawn, but you have been with me for so many years, I will not kill you. Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some rewards, go out of the palace!"

Knowing that there was no turning point for this matter, Xia Lian knelt down in front of Wei Anrong, kowtowed, and quietly backed out.

Jin Xi stood beside Wei Anrong, watching Xia Lian leave, but she didn't understand.

"The princess let her out of the palace like this?"

"Do you think the punishment from the palace is light?"

Jin Xi nodded in disbelief.

"Oh, for her, going out of the palace may not mean freedom. Such a person has been trained since childhood to be a dead man. The dead man has no feelings and will not pursue fame and fortune. They will only obey the master's arrangement. So Xia Lian, not Shaken by my tolerance, I will not be free just because I leave the palace.

The dead man is most taboo to have feelings, and he is only loyal to one master in his life.Xia Lian is the person of King Fucheng, even if King Liang is the son of King Fucheng, this is considered a rebellion. "

After thinking about it for a while, Jin Xi also understood the joint.Xia Lian will not be tempted by money or driven by power, so the only thing that can shake her is perhaps only feelings.

No matter how ruthless and self-disciplined a person is, feelings are always uncontrollable.

Xia Lian's willingness to help Liang Wang as an internal response probably touched the emotional line.

"Has Xia Lian returned to Prince Liang's mansion?" Jin Xi asked.

Wei Anrong shook his head, "It's time to return to Fucheng Palace. She has deviated from the original intention of entering the palace, and she feels guilty. Although I let her leave the palace, she will definitely go to apologize with death."

"Could it be that the king of Liang is unwilling to rescue him?"

"Jin Xi, the struggle for imperial power in Chang'an City is far from as simple as you think. Xia Lian is just an insignificant dead soldier, not even a little girl in Liang Wang's mansion. And this matter, Fu Cheng Wang will definitely He was furious, how dare King Liang add fuel to the fire again!

King Fucheng's thoughts that had been dormant for many years finally began to be exposed.As for whether the money in the national treasury is also related to King Fucheng, it will depend on Meng Qiucheng's side. "

Jin Xi nodded, raised her eyes and quietly looked at Wei Anrong.She seemed to see another Meng Qiucheng, who was decisive, wise, and even cruel.This is right, something she cannot touch and never understands.

Maybe Meng Qiucheng was right, her previous idea of ​​wanting to contact Chu Xi was too dangerous.Because she is simply not good enough to think carefully about the next dozen or so steps like them.

All she can do now is to reassure Meng Qiucheng.

As the sky darkened, Fang Jinzhong got into the sedan chair and hurried out the door.

The bearer trotted all the way, carrying Fang Jinzhong to Jingshui nunnery outside the city.

Fang Jinzhong got off the sedan chair, carried his clothes over the stone steps, and went straight into the temple.

One of them was dressed in a fine attire, with a golden crown on his head, and a white crane belt around his waist.With his back to Fang Jinzhong, he held three incense sticks in his hands, and lit them with the candle in front of the Buddha.He bowed three times to the bronze Buddha in front of him, and then inserted it into the incense burner.

Fang Jinzhong waited for this person to finish his obeisance before opening his mouth, "Master Prime Minister, Meng Qiucheng seems to know."

"Got it? What do you know?" Zhang Shuli lit the incense, turned around and looked at Fang Jinzhong.

"He used the child's matter to threaten the official, and wanted to be with the official..."

"Together with what?"

"Share the money from the treasury together."

Zhang Shuli sneered, "Master Fang agrees?"

Fang Jinzhong hurriedly knelt down, "I don't dare. Without the Prime Minister's will, I will never agree. But the life of the child is still in the hands of Meng Qiucheng, and I ask the Prime Minister to save me."

"Young Master Ling has also heard about the truth about what happened. It has only been a while since it was released, and troubles have arisen again. Hmph, Shao Tong is a student of Truth, and Truth can still persuade him. But this Meng Qiucheng has no friendship with Truth. How do you ask the truth to intercede for you? It's you, Mr. Fang, who has no way to teach your son. If something really happens, you should think about how it will end. "

When Fang Jinzhong heard this, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, "Lord Prime Minister, I only have such a son, I beg you to find a way to rescue the dog, and I will definitely discipline him well in the future."

Zhang Shuli shook his head, smiled faintly, and helped Fang Jinzhong up, "Lord Fang, it's late. This Meng Qiucheng seems greedy, but it is not easy for such a person to bring down the Queen Mother and King Yong. This opportunity wants to get close to you and set out the whereabouts of the treasury money.

Think about it, why does he care so much about the money in the treasury?He was the one who ransacked the house back then. If he was greedy, wouldn't it be easier to lie about confiscating the money?

No one backs him up, does he dare to investigate? "

Fang Jinzhong's feet went limp and he almost fell down.

"The emperor wants to investigate?"

"The emperor is no longer the emperor of the past. Fuchaertai obediently rolled back and garrisoned in the Northland. Do you think the emperor will let you go? Let me remind you, if he finds out about the state treasury, it will not only make the son's head uneasy." Guaranteed, even you, and the heads of everyone in the Fang family, will not be guaranteed. A life or the lives of everyone in the Fang family, which one does Mr. Fang think is worthwhile? This is all the truth, you can do it yourself!"

Just as Zhang Shuli finished speaking, a guard rushed in from outside the door and whispered something in his ear.Zhang Shuli's complexion changed drastically, he stared at Fang Jinzhong, and snorted coldly, "Master Fang, you are really good!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to the guard, "Go!"

The guard led a group of people outside the door, protected Zhang Shuli in the middle, and hurriedly left through the back door of Jingshui Nunnery.

Fang Jinzhong was a little confused and didn't know what happened.He didn't realize the seriousness of the matter until his entourage came in and whispered in his ear.

"Have you caught anyone?"

The entourage panicked and said, "Two were caught, and they are already dead. There is nothing on them to identify them, so we can't be sure who did it. The prime minister's subordinates were worried that Prime Minister Zhang would be targeted, so they rushed to take the prime minister. leave.

My lord, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go back home quickly! "

Fang Jinzhong paused for a moment, then sighed resentfully.Judging by Zhang Shuli's attitude, he already knew the result.Fang Jian is his only son, even if he dies, he can't just watch his son die.At that moment, he secretly made a decision in his heart, and said coldly, "Go home!"

The author has something to say: Meng Qiucheng: I have a question, little beauty.

Jin Xi: Ask!

Meng Qiucheng: Do you know what a door made of wood is called?

Jin Xi: The wooden door.

Meng Qiucheng: You are so smart, what is the name of the door made of iron?

Jin Xi gave Meng Qiucheng a blank look: Iron Gate.

Meng Qiucheng: Yes, yes, what is the door called happiness?

Jin Xi:? ? ?What door?

Meng Qiucheng: Us!

Jin Xi blushed: Damn it!Wear my clothes tonight!

Meng Qiucheng:? ? ?Why?

Jinxi: This way I am more motivated...
