Yun Zhongzi suppressed the panic in his heart and pretended to be calm: "I have heard the name of Taoist Sister Xuanjing. She is Wei Xiuyan's master, but that is all. I have never seen her before."
Hong Li stared at him with cold eyes and said: "Even now, if you still refuse to tell the truth, do you have to kill everyone in your Ziyun Temple before you can tell me?"
Yun Zhongzi's body was shaken, and his eyes were full of contradictions. Hongli should not be sure about this matter yet, otherwise he would not be summoned for questioning at this moment, but would directly grab the boys scattered all over the place and force him again.
He cast spells; he even threatened the lives of everyone in Ziyun Temple!
From the moment he decided to tell Hongli this method, there was no way out. Either continue or die. If he leaked Yong Cun's story without permission, Hongli would not let him off easily. But what he was most afraid of was
, it was Hongli who didn't believe in exchanging lives for lives, so he forced him to use secret methods, which would surely destroy all lives. Ziyun's audience and those innocent children had finally survived this disaster, and he didn't want to let them suffer again because of this incident.
Stepping into the gate of hell again!
Thinking of this, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Pindao has indeed never seen Taoist Sister Xuanjing. Even if the emperor really kills everyone in Ziyun Temple, Pindao will give the same answer."
Hong Zhou said from the side: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask me to go to Ziyun Temple and ask questions. If Taoist Aunt Xuanjing really appears in Ziyun Temple, someone will definitely know."
Hongli ignored him, just stared at Yun Zhongzi and said, "Are you still unwilling to say it?"
Yun Zhongzi bowed his head and said, "Everything I said is true. I don't know what else to say."
Hongli said coldly: "If I find you lying, I will never spare you and your disciples!"
Hearing this, Yun Zhongzi smiled sadly and said: "When did the emperor spare the poor Taoist, those ninety-nine boys and the rest of Ziyun Temple? For the sake of the twelfth elder brother, no matter how many
You will continue to slaughter people without mercy! But Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it?
So many killings, what consequences will they bring to the twelfth prince in the end? Throughout the ages, which of the generals who have killed many people has a happy ending? Let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about Nian Geng during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng.
Yao, he made great achievements in battle, but what was the result?"
Hong Li said with a gloomy expression: "Yong Cun has a noble destiny. As long as he survives this calamity, he will naturally be safe and prosperous. The consequences of your so-called killing will not affect him at all."
"Your Majesty, I cannot help but believe that you don't believe in the theory of fate." After saying that, Yun Zhongzi shook his head and said: "I know that you love your son very much, so I have tried my best to find ways to reduce the number of killings for you, but now you are
Suddenly he said that what Pindao said was untrue, and also mentioned Daoist Sister Xuanjing, Pindao really didn't know what to say."
Hong Li glanced at him and was about to order Hong Zhou to check. There was a knock on the door outside. Xiao Wu quickly walked over and opened the door. After listening to the palace man's words, he walked over to Hong Zhou with a strange look on his face.
In front of the calendar, he lowered his hands and said: "Please report to the emperor, Guang
Xiuyuan sent someone to report, saying...Ms. Wei is not feeling well today. After the doctor saw it, he said that Ming Wei is happy." Guang Xiuyuan's housekeeper went out from the palace and was named the housekeeper. In fact, he secretly monitored Wei Xiuyan, and had
The right to enter the palace to perform affairs.
Hongli looked at him with a gloomy expression. He never expected that Wei Xiuyan would be pregnant with a dragon fetus at this time. After a while, he asked, "Is this really true?"
Xiao Wu lowered his head and said: "Yes, the housekeeper invited two doctors to diagnose Madam Wei's pulse. They both said it was a happy pulse, so there should be no mistake. In addition, Madam Wei said she had something urgent and wanted to see the emperor."
Hongli stood there with a complicated expression. He had been favoring Wei Xiuyan for a while, but Wei Xiuyan had been silent. Now at this time... Is this really God's will, can Wei Xiuyan's child really save Yong Cang?
After signaling Yun Zhongzi to go down, he looked at Hong Zhou and said in a deep voice: "Lao Wu, do you think I should keep Wei Xiuyan?"
Hong Zhou sighed and said: "I don't know, brother, but...even if the child in Wei Xiuyan's belly cannot save the twelfth brother, he is still the emperor's flesh and blood. I'm afraid it won't be good to kill him, so why not...
If you wait a little longer, Wei Xiuyan will not be able to escape. As for Taoist Aunt Xuanjing at Ziyun Temple, I will find out as soon as possible."
Hongli nodded solemnly, "That's all we can do. Go find out as soon as possible and send someone to keep an eye on Yun Zhongzi. If the method of exchanging lives for lives is fake, then the only one who can save Yong Cang is him.
Don’t let him play any tricks!”
Hong Zhou was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid Yun Zhongzi will never agree!"
Hongli snorted heavily and said, "He was right about what he said just now. For Yongzhen, no matter how many people I kill, I will not hesitate to kill him. I can't help but save him!" The chill in his words was lower than before.
The order to kill the Taoist to force Yun Zhongzi to cast the spell was even more severe, and even Hong Zhou couldn't help but shudder.
After saying a few more words, Hong Zhou said hesitantly: "Wei Xiuyan, the emperor wants to see her?" Seeing that Hong Li remained silent, he said again: "It concerns the life and death of her sister and the Wei family.
I'm afraid she won't give up until the emperor comes."
Hongli waved his hand and said: "I will handle this matter myself, you just go about your business."
Seeing what he said, Hong Zhou said no more and bowed and left. After he left, Hong Li walked behind the imperial cabinet and picked up a booklet that was just presented today, but he never opened it, just as if he had something to say.
Staring at Lan Ling's cover thoughtfully for a long time, he put down the book and said, "Get ready, I'm going to Guangxiu Garden."
In Guangxiu Garden, Wei Xiuyan sat in a chair in a daze, her hands always on her abdomen, and what happened yesterday kept coming to her mind.
Yesterday, she was a little tired and was about to take a nap. Unexpectedly, her father came to her in a hurry. As soon as they met, he said that the Wei family was in great trouble. After careful questioning, she found out that the queen actually found a man in the Yongshou Palace.
Assassin, if it's just this, of course it doesn't matter. The key is that this assassin has a great connection with the Wei family.
She still remembers her shock when she learned from her father about the relationship between Li Jifeng and Wei Jingxuan, the affair... This kind of thing is extremely serious even if it is placed in ordinary people's homes, let alone in the royal family. Once it is found to be true, Mo
If it is Wei Jingxuan herself, the entire Wei family will be in trouble.
She didn't remember how Father Wei got out. She only knew that when she came to her senses, it was already dark. When she hurriedly sent people to the Forbidden City, the palace gate was closed and no news could come in. She could only open her eyes and wait.
At dawn, just when the sky was slightly bright, she felt dizzy so much that she even fainted later. When she woke up, the people around her congratulated her with joy, saying that the doctor diagnosed her with a happy pulse and she was pregnant.
