Chapter 729: 'Fake Pregnancy' Competition for Favor
Governor Ding was stinking all over and his hair was messy. He was gnashing his teeth and scolding the Night King for plotting against him. Suddenly, he heard someone saying that the Prime Minister wanted to "take the wind and wash away the dust" for him who had just come out of prison. He suddenly raised his head in flattery.
"May I ask you are?"
"I am Butler Huang of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I have been ordered by the Prime Minister to send you an invitation." Wei Xuanyuan said and handed over the invitation.
Governor Ding hurriedly took it and saw that it was indeed an invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion. His face suddenly showed excitement: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, is interested. Can I trouble Butler Huang to report back to Your Majesty the Prime Minister? An He will definitely attend the appointment on time.'
He only said that this was the arrangement of the Crown Prince Wei Yuande. The Prime Minister was the uncle of the state and had nothing to do with him. How could Prime Minister Zhou hold a banquet for him alone if it was not arranged by the Crown Prince?
My daughter's belly is still strong, she must be pregnant with the emperor's grandson.
After Wei Xuanyuan left, Governor Ding returned home with a happy face.
He also bought a house in the capital, so he immediately went back to freshen up and change clothes. After packing up, he saw that it was almost time, so he headed to the Prime Minister's Mansion with great solemnity in the wind and snow.
In Nuange of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Xuanyuan and Zhou Qian were sitting and drinking tea.
"I originally wanted to wait for the prince to execute him before rescuing him, but I didn't expect the prince to let him go." Wei Xuanyuan tapped his thumb on the table habitually, squinting his eyes slightly. He looked relieved and looked like a thin middle-aged man.
, and I don’t know what kind of true face is underneath this slightly old face.
He had wanted to take Inspector Ding into his own hands for a long time, and had been waiting for the best opportunity to make Inspector Ding hate both the Night King and the Crown Prince, so that he could use it all.
But the plan failed to keep up with the change. Ding's daughter, Concubine Ding, suddenly became pregnant, causing Prince Wei Yuande to release Ding.
But since he has made up his mind to reuse him, Ding Anhe, there are many ways to make him devoted to him.
"Master, at tonight's banquet, I will grant him an official position and persuade him to be used by me?" Zhou Qian saw Wei Xuanyuan's eyes narrowed and looked unfathomable, so he asked him for instructions.
"No, you can't." Wei Xuanyuan shook his head, "You are the uncle of the current king. If you give him an official title today, he will only think that this is the prince's arrangement and that you are just acting on the prince's orders.'
"Ss~~ It's true." Zhou Qian scratched his forehead and nodded. After all, who knew that he was the fake Prime Minister Zhou? Who knew that Prime Minister Zhou and the Crown Prince were completely different people? In the eyes of outsiders, he Zhou Qian
The prime minister is a proper princeling. Doesn’t Prime Minister Zhou’s intention mean that of the prince?
"Tonight, just have fun with him and eat and drink without talking about political affairs." Wei Xuanyuan's lips curled up, "Get to know him well first, so that when he is desperate again, he will think of asking you for help. Wait until then.
Only when you save him will he be grateful and devoted to you~~.
"Master, do you have any clever plans?" Even though he had been with Wei Xuanyuan for many years, Zhou Qian still couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
Wei Xuanyuan's eyes rolled sinisterly, "Just wait, it won't be long before I let him be led to the guillotine again~~ Just show that you care more about him."
"Yes, master." Zhou Qian responded seriously.
After talking for a while, the concierge came to report that Governor Ding was here.
Wei Xuanyuan stood up and greeted him diligently.
There were only two people at the banquet that night, Zhou Qian and Ding An. There were beauties singing and dancing, delicacies from the mountains and the sea, fine wines, and the drinking was extremely joyful.
However, what surprised Ding Anhe was that Zhou Chengqi greeted him but never mentioned the matter of being appointed an official.
The meal at the Prime Minister's Mansion made him feel strange and strange.
Next, Prime Minister Zhou invited him to two more gatherings. Each time he expressed his admiration for him, but in the end they just drank, chatted and danced, and never mentioned anything about his official position.
Ding Anhe and Monk Zhanger were also confused.
"Send a message to the palace and ask your sister to find out what His Highness the Crown Prince means." At noon that day, we had another drink at the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as we returned to the Mansion, Ding Anhe spoke uncontrollably.
"Yes, Dad." The person who replied was Ding Anhe's eldest son Ding Chengyun. Ding Chengyun was about to go to the study to write a letter to Ding Xiaolian when a group of people surrounded the Ding residence. The entire Ding family was taken away and their home ransacked.
, everyone was sent to death row, including Ding Xiaolian and Hong Luan.
In the dark and damp sky prison, the dim light illuminated the iron door of the prison that glowed with metallic luster, and an unpleasant rotten smell filled the prison.
The floor inside the prison was covered with a layer of messy straw. The woman lying on the straw was covered in injuries and her hair was disheveled. She was Ding Xiaolian.
"Miss, miss, you must hold on, wake up~~ Miss." Hong Luan, who was locked up in the cell opposite, grabbed the iron door with both hands, and cried out to Ding Xiaolian with tears on his face, "Miss
, Miss, we must not just give up and accept our fate. We must find out the person who murdered us and make him pay back a hundred times."
After listening to Hong Luan's words, Ding Xiaolian moved, raised his scarred face, and bit his lower lip until blood dripped from his teeth.
There was a frightening cold light in her eyes, and hatred surged in her chest.
"My child, the grandson in my belly~~" Ding Xiaolian put her hand to her belly. She was lying on the cold straw, her lower body was dripping wet, her child was gone!
This morning, she suddenly had a stomachache for some unknown reason, and then began to bleed. She was worried about whether she had a miscarriage, and wanted to call the imperial doctor to take a look. At this time, the queen and a large group of people rushed into the Yuling Palace.
As soon as the queen opened her mouth, she accused her of "false pregnancy" to compete for favor.
It was Grandma Lei from Yuling Palace who tipped her off, saying that she discovered that Ding Xiaolian was menstruating. Later, Dr. Lin insisted that she had been bribed by Ding Xiaolian to help her conceal the false pregnancy.
Ding Xiaolian happened to have a miscarriage at this moment, and she couldn't argue with the evidence, so she was charged with "false pregnancy" and convicted of deceiving the emperor.
Prince Wei Yuande was furious when he heard the news. He immediately took away the titles of Ding Xiaolian and Hongluan and put them on death row. The entire Ding family was imprisoned and sentenced to death.
All of this is of course the work of Wei Xuanyuan. Ding Anhe hated the prince Wei Yuande to the core in prison. Later, when all the men in his family were pushed to the execution ground, Zhou Qian hurriedly arrived on horseback and came with a "sword to spare",
Completely take Ding Anhe under his command.
Of course, this is something.
In short, after King Ji Xun of the Night went to the Lingzhou fiefdom, the capital was turbulent. Wei Xuanyuan started to disrupt the court according to his own plan, eroding the foundation of Dasheng bit by bit, and taking the Dasheng world into his own hands step by step.
Of course, all this is going on in the dark and no one knows.
Neither Ji Xun nor Shen Yuyu knew that Wei Xuanyuan had laid out such a big game.
At this time, Shen Yuyu had finished his business in Yanggu County and was planning to return to Wantian County, when Shadow hurriedly came in to report.
"Master, the case of Mr. Li's wife having an affair with someone else that you sent me to secretly investigate has come to fruition."
