After a moment of silence, Hongli said in a low voice: "I asked Yun Zhongzi, and he said that there may still be three to five years before Yongxun is destined to suffer a catastrophe, but Tang Qizhang said that the time is even less than three to five years. Old
Five, tell me, how can you slow down?"
Hong Zhou was left speechless by his question. After a while, he said: "But if this happens, the ministers who don't know what is going on will definitely object vigorously, and the queen will not agree even more. By then, I'm afraid it will be difficult to
Ending." When Hongli said nothing, he said: "According to my brother's opinion, it is better to place her outside the palace to avoid conflicts. The emperor only needs the child she gave birth to."
"I have the same idea. Later, I will ask Xiao Wu to go to the Wei family to deliver oral instructions. As long as she agrees, I will not treat her badly, and the matter of Yong Rong can be written off."
Hong Zhou thought for a while and said, "I don't have anything to do today, so why not go with the fifth manager? If anything happens, it will be easy to deal with it."
"Okay, I feel more at ease if you go with me." After such discussion and decision, Hong Zhou and Xiao Wu left the palace and headed to the Wei Mansion.
Not long after they left, Qiaoyu walked into the Yongshou Palace quickly, with a look of uncontrollable joy on her face. After bending her knees to Wei Jingxuan who was sitting there reading a book, she said happily: "Master, please inquire."
I received the news that the master and the others were summoned by the emperor's decree on their way to Ninggu Pagoda, and they have now returned to the mansion."
Mao Gui said with surprise on his face: "How could the emperor suddenly issue such a decree? Do you know the reason?"
Qiaoyu shook her head and said: "There is no way to know this. Perhaps the emperor later felt that the punishment was too severe, so he changed his mind."
Hearing what she said, Wei Jingxuan put down the book in her hand and sneered: "The emperor wishes to kill my family, so how can he think that the punishment is too severe?"
Hearing this, Mao Gui asked tentatively: "Master, does he know what happened?"
Wei Jingxuan glanced at him and said, "Have you forgotten the letter I asked you to send?"
Mao Gui was startled, then he came to his senses and said in astonishment: "Master said that this matter was related to Taoist Aunt Xuanjing, and she was the one who persuaded the emperor to change his mind? But she is just an outsider, how could she do this?
?”
Wei Jingxuan did not answer his words, but said: "Just wait and see, the show will start soon."
It was not just Mao Gui and the others who were puzzled by this matter. The Wei family were also confused. Just as they were anxiously guessing Hongli's intentions, two figures walked in. After they could see who was coming, Wei's father
He hurriedly led everyone to kneel down and said respectfully: "The common people have seen Prince He and the Fifth Eunuch!"
Xiao Wu glanced at Hong Zhou, and after the latter nodded slightly, he took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "The Wei family obeys the decree!"
Hearing that there was an imperial edict, Wei's father quickly lowered his head and said in fear: "The common people listen respectfully to the imperial edict."
"You have committed a huge mistake. You should have been exiled to Ningguta and never returned to Beijing. I think that God has the virtue of a good life and exempted you from the punishment of exile. I allow you to return to Beijing and evacuate the house for your convenience.
I hope you can take care of yourself in the future and don't make any mistakes again. I will die!"
Hearing these words, Wei's father and others' hearts, which had been hanging in the air since they were recalled, finally dropped. They kowtowed with joy and said: "The common people thank the emperor for his kindness. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
After ordering them to stand up, Xiao Wu walked up to Wei Xiuyan, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Second Miss is very happy!"
Wei Xiuyan, who had been lying down and being pulled like a marionette, slowly raised her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Why are you so happy?"
Xiao Wu smiled and said: "The second young lady has a beautiful heart and beautiful appearance. The emperor is very happy and wants to let the second young lady serve him. Isn't this a great joy?"
"The Emperor likes me very much..." Wei Xiuyan murmured and repeated his words, and suddenly sneered: "Why should the fifth manager come to make me happy? The emperor hates me for killing the sixth brother, how can he like me, let alone serve me?
Already."
Xiao Wu lowered his head and said: "How dare I pretend to convey the Holy Will? What I just said is absolutely true. The emperor originally wanted to summon the second young lady to the palace, but because of many things that happened before, it might be inconvenient to enter the palace rashly.
Therefore, the emperor's intention is to give the Guangxiu Garden in the east of the city to the second lady, so that the second lady can live there temporarily."
Father Wei and others looked at each other. They had lived in Beijing for so many years, so they naturally knew that Guangxiu Garden stood side by side with all the princes' palaces. It used to be Yinhu's house. After he was imprisoned, Guangxiu Garden was vacated. I heard that
Inside, there are exotic flowers and rocks, small bridges and flowing water. It is extremely luxurious, far beyond what their small house can compare with.
If Hongli suddenly pardoned them because of Wei Jingxuan's face, then he suddenly took a fancy to Wei Xiuyan and gave her Guangxiu Garden, then I really can't think of the reason.
Wei De asked tentatively: "Fifth Eunuch, why did the Emperor suddenly want to accept Xiuyan?"
Xiao Wu glanced at him and said coldly: "How can we guess the emperor's thoughts? No matter what, this is a great good thing for your Wei family and the second lady."
"Yes, yes, yes." Wei De nodded repeatedly, not daring to say anything. After dismissing him, Xiao Wu said to Wei Xiuyan: "I will take the second lady to Guangxiu Garden now."
Wei Xiuyan stared at him for a long time, shook her head and said, "No, I won't go."
Xiaowu frowned and said: "Second Miss doesn't like Guangxiu Garden. I have been to Guangxiu Garden before. It is elegant and exquisite, far better than ordinary mansions. Second Miss will definitely like it after seeing it."
"No matter how good Guangxiu Garden is, I will not go there because..." She looked at Xiao Wu and said clearly: I will never serve the emperor."
Before Xiao Wu said anything, Wei's father had already shouted in a low voice: "Bold, this is the emperor's will, how can you be allowed to rebel against it?"
Wei Xiuyan looked at him and smiled coldly, and said again: "Please tell your Majesty, Fifth Eunuch, that I will only marry Brother Six in this life, and I will never marry anyone else, not even the Emperor."
Xiaowu didn't expect Wei Xiuyan to have such a strong side, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. Hong Zhou, who had never spoken, came over and said: "It's rare for you to be so sincere towards Brother Six, but it's so lucky to have the emperor's favor.
It is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, you should not refuse it."
Wei Xiuyan chuckled and said sadly: "I know that there are countless women in the world who hope to be favored by the emperor. I was the same in the past. I looked forward to the day and night that one day I would be favored by the emperor, but that was already a thing of the past.
, now I just want to spend the rest of my life quietly."
Hong Zhou was silent for a moment and said: "Sixth Brother is no longer here, and you are still young and have such beauty as a flower. It would be a pity to waste it away. If you agree, the Emperor will definitely not treat you and your family badly. On the contrary...
...You should know that resisting the order and disobeying it is a serious crime of beheading. You and your family will die, and no one will save you this time."
