Wei Jingxuan's eyelids twitched, and just as she was about to speak, Qiaoyu's anxious voice came from outside, "Master, what happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just a nightmare. You can go down and have a rest." After sending Qiaoyu away, Wei Jingxuan went to the ground and met Li Jifeng's eyes and said, "What did you find out?"
Li Jifeng looked greedily at Wei Jingxuan's dim face under the candlelight, and said: "My subordinates learned from the woman kept outside the palace by the fifth manager that in the past ten years, the reason why the emperor favored Buddhism and Taoism so much, and the Twelve Ah
He has a great relationship with the twelfth elder brother, and for many years, the emperor often ordered Yun Zhongzi and his two brothers to pray for the twelfth elder brother. In addition, when the twelfth elder brother fell ill this time, someone saw him and the prince taking the Shenji camp to attend the meeting.
Take Agui with you
Soldiers appeared in Ziyun Temple. After that, Ziyun Temple transported more than twenty corpses. After they were buried, their subordinates dug up the grave of one of them and took a look. The wound on the body was a gunshot wound, which showed that it was from the Shenji Camp.
There is another strange thing. Previously, many families in the capital reported to the government that their children were missing. Just after that day, all their children were suddenly found. Many of them were found. The subordinates were thinking about these two things.
Will there be any contact?"
Wei Jingxuan said disapprovingly: "I already know all this. The only thing I want to know now is what happened to the twelfth prince? What caused the emperor to be so unscrupulous."
Li Jifeng said in surprise: "How did the empress know that? And... where did the words "scrupulous means" come from?
These days, whenever he has free time, he goes to inquire about this matter. It took a lot of effort to finally find out this. Wei Jingxuan has always been in the palace, so how did he know about it?
Wei Jingxuan did not answer his words, only said: "What else did she say?"
"Although she tried her best to interrogate the fifth manager, the latter refused to go into details and only vaguely revealed that the twelfth brother had a bad life. Judging from these circumstances, the emperor asked the second lady to pray for him in the first place.
He should undoubtedly be the twelfth prince."
"It's a difficult life..." Wei Jingxuan repeated these four words thoughtfully, and then said: "What else did you ask?"
Li Jifeng shook his head and said: "No, the fifth manager is very tight-lipped, but this sentence has almost aroused his suspicion, Lan Yi dare not ask any more questions." Lan Yi is the woman Xiao Wu has raised outside the palace, and has been raised outside the palace for many years.
, he has always been very fond of him, but Xiaowu probably never imagined that Lan Yi would help others deceive him.
Wei Jingxuan thought for a moment and said: "No matter what method you use, I must try to get more words out of Xiao Wu." After Li Jifeng agreed, she said again: "That Lan Yi...will betray you?
"
The muscles on Li Jifeng's face tightened slightly, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, your Majesty, my subordinates have the handle on her, and she doesn't dare to do anything random." After that, he asked again: "I'm sorry for talking too much. Didn't your Majesty say before,
I just want to know the identity of the person being prayed for so that the second lady can figure out why..."
Wei Jingxuan's eyes darkened slightly and she said, "What's wrong? You don't want to do anything for me anymore?"
Li Jifeng said hurriedly: "No, no matter what the Queen orders, I will do it. I just... want to know the Queen's intention of doing this."
Wei Jingxuan stared at him for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Didn't you just ask me how I knew this? Don't forget that Xiuyan became a monk in Ziyun Temple. She witnessed the whole thing happened, and she also
I saw the murder of the prince. At that time, Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi once said something, he said, "The emperor turns into a devil with just one thought." It is conceivable that,
Prince He and Agui massacred the Taoist priests of Ziyun Temple, all of which were ordered by the emperor. The purpose was to force Yun Zhongzi to use the lives of those hundreds of boys to cast spells. And all of this was for the twelfth brother. Fortunately, the twelfth brother
Brother's condition improved at that time, otherwise either there would be no more survivors in Ziyun Temple, or the hundreds of boys would have died under Yun Zhongzi's secret method."
"Ten years, hundreds of boys... Monsoon, do you think this matter is over?"
Li Jifeng was startled and said hesitantly: "It should be over. After all, Brother Twelve is fine now."
"No, I have a feeling that it is only temporarily suppressed now. One day, this matter will completely explode. By then, the number of people who will die will be ten times and a hundred times more than now, and it will become a real human tragedy."
"Um..." Li Jifeng hesitated and said, "Are you worrying too much? Besides, since the Emperor took charge of the Qing Dynasty, he has always implemented benevolent government and advocated governing the world with benevolence and filial piety. He would never do such cruel and cruel things."
"You are right, but you ignored one person - the Queen!" Wei Jingxuan sneered: "With her blowing wind in the Emperor's ears, what kind of things can the Emperor not do?! Just like back then, he knew that I was not the emperor.
The ninth prince was not killed, but because of the queen's words, I was imprisoned for so many years; and this time, Concubine Shen fell in love with He Ke, and told me several times that she wanted to raise He Ke, but I wanted to raise him again.
Take care of three children
, unable to think things through, he asked the emperor to adopt He Ke to Concubine Shen. This was a good thing, and it was also the emperor's personal decree. However, it didn't take long, because of the queen's few words, the emperor felt that I had bad intentions and was not willing to do anything.
Do you think it's funny or not to ignore me because of family ties? There are also those noble people who are always here. Seeing me falling out of favor, they all dare to show their faces to me, but I can only swallow my anger.
.”
Li Jifeng was greatly heartbroken when he heard this, "I don't know that something like this has happened to your empress. Your Majesty... Your Majesty is really confused. Your Majesty is so cruel. Why can't he see clearly?"
Wei Jingxuan waved her hands and said: "I'm just concerned about my own affairs. I'm just worried that the twelfth brother will cause a big chaos in the future. If we know the reason earlier, maybe we can avoid it." After saying that, she stood up and held Li Jifeng's hand.
Holding his hand, he said: "Now, you are the only one who can trust me. Are you... willing to help me?"
Li Jifeng excitedly shook her hand and said, "If my subordinate is willing, even if he goes through fire and water, he will definitely find out the ins and outs of this matter for the empress."
Wei Jingxuan lowered her head and smiled, leaned into his arms, and said softly: "Li Lang, you are so kind to me!"
Li Jifeng held the soft jade in his arms and said emotionally: "Don't worry, I will be good to you in this life and will never let you down!"
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said, "But you really can't sneak into Yongshou Palace quietly like this in the future." Before Li Jifeng could say anything, she added: "I know you miss me, but it is a serious crime to break into the palace without permission.
, you may be able to avoid it once or twice, but you cannot avoid it forever.
Being discovered; if you are discovered, I am afraid that your life will be in danger; also, you also know a thing or two about the situation in the palace. The queens have always been eyeing me. If they find out about you and me, they will definitely take advantage of it.
This opportunity will kill me, so you must promise me this time and never do it again!"
