Wei Jingxuan stared at her and said coldly: "The person they have to deal with is never my father, but me. Once this matter reaches the emperor's ears, it will definitely affect the emperor's view of me. When the time comes, the imperial concubine will
I'm trying to stir things up from the side, because I'm afraid the canonization ceremony hasn't happened yet.
I have already been neglected by the emperor. In addition, my father and eldest brother were harmed, which is equivalent to breaking my arms outside the palace, leaving me in an isolated and helpless place. Xiangju, please talk about it now
, do they have any reason to harm my father?"
Xiangju said in fear: "My slave made a mistake, please forgive me, Master."
Wei Jingxuan snorted coldly, turned to look at Xiao Yuanzi and said, "Have you thought of a way to deal with it?"
Xiao Yuanzi smiled bitterly and said: "I just wanted to tell the emperor about this matter and ask the emperor to personally supervise Shuntian Mansion to investigate and deal with the matter. At present, it seems that this method is not feasible. Please allow me to think about it again."
Wei Jingxuan looked out the dark window and said coldly: "Before dawn, we must come up with a solution."
Time passed bit by bit in the anxiety, and the night always felt very long on weekdays, but this night felt so short. It seemed that not long after, the originally dense night began to recede quietly.
Wei Jingxuan sat in the chair and rested her forehead on her hands, her brows never relaxing all night long. Xiao Yuanzi and Xiangju stayed with her all night long. Even though they were extremely sleepy, they did not dare to step back, and they did not even dare to yawn.
During this period, Xiao Yuanzi proposed several methods, but they were all rejected by Wei Jingxuan. Those methods were too crude and could not protect the safety of the Wei family at all.
Xiao Yuanzi looked at the sky outside and said cautiously: "Master, the sky... will be dawn soon!"
His words made Wei Jingxuan feel more and more upset, and she said in a cold voice: "Is it true that my family is going to be destroyed in their hands today?!" After saying that, she slammed the table hard and said bitterly: "It's my father's fault too,
If he had not been greedy for money, how could he have suffered today's disaster?"
Xiao Yuanzi thought: "It's too late to say this now. I thought, if it really doesn't work, I'll leave the capital first, so..."
Wei Jingxuan said without hesitation: "No, if they escape, it will only make the emperor more unhappy and vent his anger on me. They must stay in the capital and are not allowed to leave even half a step."
Wei Jingxuan stood up and walked a few steps, gritted her teeth and said: "If I had been given more time, why would I be in such a mess? I only found out when I was desperate." While they were talking, there was already a faint light in the sky, and it was just a few steps away from the palace.
The time for the door to open was getting closer and closer, but Wei Jingxuan was still at a loss as to what was going to happen next, and she didn't know how to stop it.
Wei Jingxuan opened the window, looked at the ray of dawn in the sky, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I don't have the wealth and money like Concubine Yu, otherwise how could Concubine Ying take advantage of this."
Xiangju whispered: "If it really doesn't work, how about... let the master and the others return the money, and beg them not to go to Shuntian Mansion to file a complaint."
Wei Jingxuan sneered and said: "Give it back? Give it back to whom? Do you know where they are hiding? Besides, they finally lured their father into taking the bait, so they are not willing to give up." As she said this, her eyebrows suddenly jumped, and she tightly grasped the flash.
Yu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "There is a way! Xiao Yuanzi, get out of the palace immediately and tell your father to let him..."
After listening to Wei Jingxuan's method, Xiao Yuanzi not only did not look happy, but said in a worried voice: "Excuse me, my servant, isn't what you did just in line with Concubine Ying's wishes?"
"This is the only way out of all options. There is no time for me to think of a more secure solution. Although I will not escape jail if I do this, at least I will be able to say a few words when the emperor asks." So saying.
, she urged Xiangju to bring the Four Treasures of the Study, and after writing the order for Xiao Yuanzi to leave the palace, she said: "Hurry up to the Jingshi Room, and you must leave the palace before Concubine Ying's people."
Xiao Yuanzi nodded, endured the exhaustion of not sleeping all night and rushed to the minister's room. At this time, the palace servant had just gotten up and was extremely surprised to see him coming so early. Faced with the question from the sleepy steward, Xiao Yuanzi said
He said a family member was sick and rushed to visit him.
As soon as Xiao Yuanzi left, Li Si, who was next to Hu, came to the minister's room and learned that he was also going to leave the palace. The steward said casually while taking his badge: "What's going on today? Everyone is in a hurry to leave the palace."
, Is it possible that Eunuch Li also has a family member who is seriously ill?"
"No, the master has sent our family to do something." As he said this, Li Si's heart suddenly moved, he took the waist badge handed to him and said: "Who came to collect the waist badge and leave the palace just now?
"Xiao Yuanzi, who is next to your concubine, said that a family member is seriously ill, so he rushed out to visit." The steward's words made Li Si frown. He left the palace at this time... Is it true that his family member is seriously ill, or is he just following an order?
Concubine’s order?
Li Si left the minister's room, hesitating whether to go back to Changchun Palace to tell Mrs. Hu about the matter. Suddenly, his eyes flashed. After calming down, he found Zheng Jiu standing in front of him and said in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Is it possible that you also want to leave the palace?"
Zheng Jiu shook his head and said, "Eunuch Li is thinking about Xiao Yuanzi leaving the palace?"
Li Si hurriedly said: "Yes, I always feel a little strange that he is leaving the palace now. I was thinking about whether to go back and report to the master. If you don't leave the palace, could you please report it to me?" Zheng waited for a while.
After Jiu agreed, he left in a hurry.
After Li Si left, Zheng Jiuyi quickly returned to Yanxi Palace. After entering the side hall, he gave Xiayue who was having breakfast, and then said: "Master, I have been ordered to keep an eye on Yi."
Mei Xuan's night, just now, Xiao Yuanzi took the badge from Jingshifang and left the palace, one step ahead of Eunuch Li, for unknown reasons."
Xianyue's expression turned slightly, and there was dark color in her eyes, "There must be something wrong if you are in such a hurry to leave the palace." As she said that, her eyes turned and fell on Qi Kuan, "You didn't come to disturb me last night. In other words, Liu
Qi did not leave Chonghua Palace."
Qi Kuan bowed and said, "Yes, I have been keeping an eye on Chonghua Palace. Although some people left afterwards, Liu Qi did not. It seems that he is not the person that the master thought."
Although there was no problem with Liu Qi's answer yesterday and he was allowed to leave, Xia Yue secretly did not really believe this person. She always felt that he came in instead of Zi Lan to bring tea and had other motives, so she ordered Qi Kuan to keep an eye on Chong Hua secretly.
Once Liu Qi was found leaving the Chonghua Palace, he followed him to see if he went to Yimeixuan to report the news. As for Yimeixuan, he also sent Zheng Jiu to keep an eye on him all night.
Xianyue wiped the porridge stains from the corner of her lips and said, "It's a pity that Zheng Jiu is the only one, otherwise we could follow Xiao Yuanzi and see where he goes."
Qi Kuan lowered his eyes and said: "Master, if I leave the palace now, I might be able to find where Xiao Yuanzi is."
"The capital is so big, where do you start to find it? To say the least, even if you find it, it may be too late. You should wait for news from outside the palace to come in." Saying this, Xianyue said: "You two have not slept all night.
