Mao Gui, who was kneeling behind Wei Jingxuan, hurriedly took over the words and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. Since you went to Jingyang Palace with Princess Ke, the master has cried secretly so many times, and whenever he is free, he will go to Jingyang Palace to visit."
Princess Heke is definitely not as careless about love as the emperor said!"
Hongli glanced at Mao Gui, then turned his gaze to Wei Jingxuan, and said in a dark voice: "So, I have wronged you?"
Wei Jingxuan sobbed: "I don't dare. I understand the emperor's love for He Ke, but please believe that the emperor loves He Ke no less than anyone else. Every decision I make,
It’s all for the sake of harmony.”
Hongli stared at the sobbing Wei Jingxuan uncertainly for a long time and said: "How do you plan to end the Yongrong matter?"
Wei Jingxuan bit her lip and said, "Please, Your Majesty, let me see Sixth Brother and Xiuyan. I will definitely persuade them to give up this marriage, and I will definitely not embarrass the Emperor."
Hongli nodded slowly, "You'd better be able to do it, otherwise...I've given you everything you have now, so I can naturally take it back."
Wei Jingxuan endured the resentment in her heart and said with gratitude: "I know, I thank you for your grace!"
After coming out of the Yangxin Hall, Wei Jingxuan's legs felt weak for a while. If it weren't for Mao Gui's support, she almost fell to the ground. After walking for a while, Mao Gui saw a stone bench for people to take a rest on the side of the road.
: "Master is tired from going back and forth, why don't you rest here for a while and then go back."
Wei Jingxuan sat down without saying a word. It took her just a stick of incense to sit there, and her snow-white face had a trace of color. She gritted her teeth and whispered: "The two of them are so brave.
Dare to make a private life-long contract, and my father and mother actually followed them in their confusion. I was almost killed by them this time." Recalling the attitude of Hongli in the Yangxin Hall just now, she was still frightened.
"Master, calm down. Although the emperor's words were harsh just now, there is still room for change. As long as the master can persuade the second young lady and the sixth elder brother."
Hearing what he said, Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "You are right. This is my only chance to save the emperor. No matter what method is used, we must stop the two of them from continuing to mess around!" After saying that, she stood up and said: "
The emperor has sent a decree to summon the two of them to the palace. I think they will arrive soon. Please help me go back."
"Slave, I obey." Mao Gui helped Wei Jingxuan all the way back to Yongshou Palace. Qiaoyu was very surprised to see them coming back now, and blurted out: "Master, why are you back so soon?"
Wei Jingxuan was already in an uncomfortable mood. When she heard her question, she suddenly felt harsh and said in a cold voice: "What's the matter? Do I need your Aunt Qiaoyu's permission to return to Yongshou Palace?"
Qiaoyu's words were just casual, but unexpectedly they triggered such serious words. She hurriedly knelt down and said, "I didn't mean that, I'm just a little strange, that's why I asked this question. Please forgive me, Master." etc.
Wei Jingxuan didn't say anything for a while, so I realized
Xiaoyu refused to forgive her. Qiaoyu raised her hand and slapped her cheek again and again until her cheeks were covered with fingerprints. Then she heard a cold voice, "I'll forgive you this time. Go ahead."
If you talk nonsense again, you will be severely punished."
"Thank you, Master." Qiaoyu stood up and stepped aside as if she was being pardoned. Although she was full of curiosity and doubts, she never dared to ask another word.
The hall was so quiet that one could hear the sound of red charcoal burning slowly in the charcoal basin. Occasionally, a spark would suddenly burst out along with a "cracking" sound, which was particularly obvious in this early winter afternoon.
I don't know how much time passed, but a palace official opened the door and walked in, saying respectfully: "Master, the sixth elder brother and the second young lady have arrived."
"Passed..." Before Mao Gui could say anything, Wei Jingxuan said: "Take the sixth elder brother to Nuange to serve tea, and let the second lady come in to see me."
"Hey!" Shortly after the palace attendants left, Wei Xiuyan, dressed in Taoist robes, walked in and called "Sister" with a happy face.
Wei Jingxuan dismissed the people waiting on both sides, leaving only Mao Gui in the palace. She immediately stood up and walked to Wei Xiuyan, saying in a cold voice: "You want to marry Sixth Brother as a side Fujin?"
Although Wei Xiuyan felt that something was wrong with her expression, she was immersed in joy and did not take it to heart. She nodded and said: "Well, the sixth elder brother treated me very well. He said that although he could not marry me as his direct descendant, he would stay with me for the rest of his life.
I'm so good that I'm even on par with my direct descendant Fujin
Sitting on equal footing, so..." Before she could finish her words, she was slapped so hard on the face that it made stars appear in her eyes. After finally coming back to her senses, she looked at Wei Jingxuan in shock and anger, and screamed
Said: "Sister, you are crazy, why did you hit me?!"
Wei Jingxuan said with a ferocious face: "I not only want to beat you, but also want to kill you!"
When she came into contact with Wei Jingxuan's cold gaze, Wei Xiuyan felt like she was being targeted by a poisonous snake. Her whole body was surrounded by fear and she subconsciously stepped back. The voice of questioning also became weak and weak, "In the end...what happened...
What happened?"
Wei Jingxuan forced her step by step and said: "I asked you to wait for the news in my house. Why didn't you listen to me and wanted to communicate with the sixth elder brother in private?
I haven't even mentioned it in my family letters, how long are you going to keep this secret from me?"
Wei Xiuyan covered her cheek and whispered: "Brother Six has just come here as a betrothal gift. I originally wanted to tell my sister in the next few days, but I didn't know that there was a decree from the palace today, asking me to enter the palace immediately.
See my sister." As she said this, she was anxious.
He said anxiously: "I know it was my fault for not listening to my sister's arrangements, but...for so many years, I have followed my sister's instructions and endured hardships. But what I got in exchange was the emperor's indifference. I have been in the palace for ten years."
Today, the emperor is looking at me
There are only a handful of times; during these ten days in the palace, my sister and I tried our best, but in the end, we still have to leave the palace and we still have to wait aimlessly!" She said with some excitement: "Sister, tell me.
To be honest, can you really arrange for me to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine? Sister, I am already twenty-seven years old. Even with that residual prescription, I can maintain my youthful appearance, but who knows how many years it can last. I don't know.
I think of having nothing in the end and dying alone."
Wei Jingxuan stared at her and said, "So you're going to hook up with Brother Six instead?"
"I didn't!" Wei Xiuyan said hurriedly: "It's Brother Six. He came to me again and again. I saw that he was indeed very good to me, so..."
"So you posted it shamelessly?" Faced with Wei Jingxuan's unpleasant words, Wei Xiuyan frowned and said, "Yes, although the sixth elder brother is not as good as the emperor, he is willing to treat me well and accept me as a side Fujin, and no matter what he says, he is willing to treat me well.
Son of a dragon and phoenix, if I marry you, it will be of some help to my sister and the family. It was also because of this consideration that my father finally agreed to the marriage."
