"I know that your Majesty has gone through a lot of hard work before giving birth to the Ninth Princess. I have always wanted to visit you, but I have never had the chance. Now I can finally say congratulations to your Majesty in person." While speaking, a trace of bitterness flashed across Li Jifeng's eyebrows. Wei Jingxuan was
How could he feel better after giving birth to a child who was the flesh and blood of another man? With that said, he took out a small ivory pendant from his arms, handed it over and said, "This is the full moon gift given to the little princess by my subordinate."
As a gift, I also ask your Majesty to forward it to you."
Over the years, whenever Wei Jingxuan gave birth to a child, he would try to give her a hand-carved ivory pendant. This time was no exception. After Wei Jingxuan took it, she twitched her lips and said: "Li Wei is interested, I will act on behalf of the little princess."
Thanks."
Seeing her accept the pendant, Li Jifeng was very happy and said: "My subordinate gave it to the two princesses before. Do they like it?"
"You carved this pendant yourself, how could they not like it?" After saying this, she said: "I still have something to do, so take the first step." As soon as she took a step, her arm was grabbed by Li Jifeng, and she screamed.
Said: "What are you going to do?"
Mao Gui saw it from the side and said hurriedly: "It's not in line with etiquette. Please let me go immediately, Guard Li. Otherwise, if people see it, something big will happen."
Li Jifeng just heard that Wei Jingxuan was about to leave, and he made rude remarks in a hurry. When he heard their words, he hurriedly let go and said in panic: "I'm sorry, please forgive me."
Wei Jingxuan was angry, but she did not dare to be too unfeeling towards Li Jifeng. She tried her best to slow down her tone and said: "I understand, but I don't want this to happen again." After that, she said: "Li
The guards stopped me, but what else is there?
Li Jifeng looked at her and whispered: "It's nothing. I just haven't seen your empress for a long time and want to see her for a while."
Wei Jingxuan suppressed the sneer in her heart and said softly: "I don't think so. It's just that this is a palace and there are many people. I don't know when someone will appear. If someone sees me, I will be shocked."
That’s all, I’m afraid your life will be in danger. You have helped me several times and saved my life. How can I bear to see you lose your life for me?”
Li Jifeng didn't know whether it was true or not, thinking that Wei Jingxuan really thought so, and was very moved, "As long as the empress is in good health, it doesn't matter even if my subordinates really lose their lives."
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "It's getting late, you should go back quickly and be careful. You wish me well, and I also hope you are safe."
Although Li Jifeng was full of reluctance, he did not insist anymore. After bowing, he forced himself to look away and turned to leave. When he had walked about a few feet, Wei Jingxuan's voice suddenly came from behind, "Li Wei, stay!"
Li Jifeng immediately turned around and said with some excitement: "I don't know, Madam..." Before he could finish speaking, Wei Jingxuan said: "Are you really willing to risk your life for me?"
Hearing this, Li Jifeng said without hesitation: "Yes, as long as the empress gives the order, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, my subordinates will not look back."
"Okay!" Wei Jingxuan winked at Mao Gui, who looked around knowingly. After confirming that there was no one around, she said, "I think Weiwei Li also heard about Xiuyan praying in the palace before.
, I always thought that it was the Queen Mother who the emperor asked her to pray for, but Xiuyan saw
On the paper with the name and birthday written on it, there is a word "love", so I infer that it is not the Queen Mother, but a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family. Apart from the emperor, only Xiao Wu has touched that piece of paper.
I want to know who is written on that piece of paper."
Li Jifeng frowned and said: "Your Majesty, do you want your subordinates to ask questions from the Fifth Manager?" Before Wei Jingxuan could say anything, he shook his head and said: "Since the Emperor ascended the throne, the Fifth Manager has been following the Emperor, and he cannot be more loyal to the Emperor.
He will never do anything detrimental to the Emperor, I'm afraid... my subordinates are powerless to do anything about it."
"Of course you can't ask, but what if it's the person next to the fifth manager?" Hearing this, Mao Gui cast a surprised look. Although they had already managed to bribe that woman, Xiaowu was very tight-lipped and could not
After asking, the woman later felt that the money they gave was not enough and refused to talk to them anymore.
Li Jifeng cupped his hands and said, "Please tell me, my Majesty. I will definitely do what I ask you to do."
"I spent a lot of money on that woman, but she thought it was too little. She told me false words and refused to try my best to ask Xiao Wu. In fact, that woman was bullying and afraid of the strong. As long as she used a few tricks, she could be made to submit. I had no choice.
I am in the palace, so I can only ask Guard Li for help."
"I know that I will definitely get it done for your Majesty as soon as possible, but..." Li Jifeng said doubtfully: "Why does your Majesty care so much about this matter? Is there something wrong?"
Wei Jingxuan expected that Li Jifeng would ask some questions, and had already thought of the wording, "When Xiuyan was praying for him, she found that this person's fate was a bit strange, and wanted to calculate it carefully, but in this way, she must know how to receive blessings.
However, she did not dare to ask the emperor about the identity of the blessed person, so she had to leave it to me to find a solution."
"I see, but this is not a big deal. You can ask the Emperor directly." Facing his words, Wei Jingxuan sighed and said: "I asked, but what I got was a scolding from the Emperor without any regard for love.
, I didn’t even have a chance to explain, and even said that if I ask again, I will be severely punished.”
Li Jifeng frowned when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty has good intentions, how can the Emperor do this?"
Wei Jingxuan showed a wry smile and said: "He is a high-ranking emperor, and there is nothing he can't do. Therefore, I can only trace the identity of this person based on the word 'love' that Xiuyan accidentally saw."
Li Jifeng thought for a while and said: "I understand, I will try my best to handle it and inform the empress as soon as there is any news."
"Then it's all in vain." After saying that, she pretended to be concerned and said: "When you act, remember to be careful. I don't want to see any harm to you."
Li Jifeng said excitedly: "My Majesty, please be at ease. This life of this subordinate belongs to the Imperial Majesty. Without the Imperial Majesty's order, I will never let anything happen to me." After saying this, he glanced at Wei Jingxuan for the last time and strode away.
Submerged into the dark night.
Although Hongli tried his best to avoid publicizing the matter between Wei Xiuyan and Yong Rong, there is no airtight wall in the world. In addition, Wei Xiuyan went to Ziyun Temple to become a monk, and it was even more difficult to cover up. Within a few days, the people in the palace had already
Everyone knew that Wei Xiuyan and Yong Rong had made a private life decision. Suddenly, all the palaces and courts were discussing the matter.
Of course, there was a lot of ridicule in his words about Wei Jingxuan; he made fun of her for trying to fetch water in a bamboo basket, but after working hard for two months, not only was she unable to get Wei Xiuyan into the palace, but she was not even able to marry her sixth elder brother. These rumors spread naturally.
When it came to Wei Jingxuan's ears, the latter ignored it, as if she didn't hear it.
