Mrs. Xu gradually walked away, but Mrs. Xu was stunned on the spot and did not react for a long time.
What did Song Chengxuan say to Mrs. Tai? Mrs. Tai had been firm before, but she nodded in agreement in the blink of an eye.
"What are everyone doing?" Mrs. Xu realized that she had inadvertently lost the opportunity to participate. "Qing Huan is my biological child."
"Where is the Marquis?" Mrs. Xu asked, "I'll go find the Marquis and find out."
…
An Yihou was sitting in the study.
An Yihou picked up a pot of wine, placed the two wine glasses in front of him, and then solemnly filled the wine glasses. He raised his head and looked over. Prince Wei seemed to be sitting in front of him.
That night, he remembered clearly what happened in the palace.
It should be said that I dare not forget.
After he was brought into the palace, he saw Prince Wei not far away. At that time, Prince Wei was surrounded by Jinyi soldiers and walked towards the side hall. He wanted to see the face of Prince Wei clearly, but unfortunately it was blocked by those figures.
Obviously the emperor wanted to attack King Wei in the palace.
"Your Majesty, Prince Wei is your biological brother. When you were seriously ill, without Prince Wei to turn the tide, how could you suppress the rebels and foreign enemies so quickly and restore the stability of the Zhou regime? Your Majesty, you cannot listen to the words of sycophants.
.”
King Wei was escorted into the side hall, and the door of the hall was closed. No one knew what was going on in the hall.
"Your Majesty can't calm the people like this, and the royal family will not let this happen. Your Majesty, please think twice! Your Majesty..."
He had been on the battlefield for half his life, so he really didn't know much about words, especially at a time like this, when he was searching for what to say to impress the emperor.
"When Wei Chen went to persuade Prince Wei to come out and stabilize the political situation, was Wei Chen wrong?" He looked at the emperor on the throne and said this in a trembling voice.
The emperor was leaning on the dragon chair. Under the light, his gray hair was more conspicuous. The emperor had his eyes closed and seemed to have fallen asleep.
"Your Majesty..." He stood up and wanted to walk to the side hall.
The guards came around and said, "Marquis Anyi, do you want to rebel?"
Dozens of guards surrounded the main hall. No one could rush out from here in a short time. What's more, there were Jinyi soldiers outside the hall. As long as they took action here, it would be more solidified for King Wei's accusation of rebellion.
.
His hands were trembling, but he finally knelt down and begged the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are an eternal wise king. Your achievements are so great that future generations will look up to you. You can't do this."
"Marquis An Yi, you are still not my subject."
The emperor on the throne suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him sharply.
That clear gaze was like a mountain pressing on his head, making him unable to move. When the emperor was in the dormitory, he fought under the emperor. The relationship between the emperor and the emperor was already established at that time, and he could not transcend it.
The royal power exerted.
The emperor said coldly: "I was assassinated late at night. Everything was ordered by King Wei. The evidence is conclusive. But you have been speaking for King Wei since you entered the palace. In your heart, King Wei is your emperor? This is the throne of Zhou Dynasty.
Has it changed owners long ago?”
Marquis Anyi did not dare to speak.
"Don't forget," the emperor said coldly, "when you, the Xu family, committed the crime of genocide in northern Xinjiang, who covered it for you, who spared your life, and who led the troops when you were under siege?
After saving you, I always thought you were my most trusted minister, but now your actions chill my heart.
Even if I feed a dog, it will be better than yours."
The emperor was already furious, and the chamberlain was advising him: "The Tian family has just recovered from a serious illness, so don't be angry."
"I remember that King Wei is my younger brother, so I just rewarded him with the wine he prepared for me. If he has no intention of treason, the wine must be fine, and he will be safe and sound."
The door of the side hall was opened, and then King Wei walked out, a wisp of blood flowing down the corner of King Wei's mouth.
His heart sank completely, and his whole body seemed to have been frozen and could no longer move. The emperor still poisoned his own brother to death.
He was trembling all over, his whole body was occupied by sadness, and he looked at Prince Wei without blinking.
"I also want to find out those officials in the capital who followed King Wei and rebelled," the emperor looked at him, "Marquis Anyi, are you willing to go and capture the rebels of King Wei's party."
The emperor said and picked up the ink pen...
While he hesitated, the emperor had already crossed out several names in succession.
Those who do not surrender are traitors and everyone will die.
Every time the emperor made a stroke, dozens of people were killed. Those people were all his former subordinates, and these people had fought bloody battles for the Great Zhou.
His eyes widened and he was slowly shrouded in fear. People who lead troops in battle are not afraid of death, but he was still afraid in such a situation. He seemed to see King Wei nodding to him.
Then King Wei slowly fell to the ground.
He has fought countless victories in his life, but this time he was completely defeated. He even now doubts that Prince Wei did not nod to him. He just wanted to save his life and let himself "see" such a scene.
Xue Chen was right, he was a deserter who gave up the promise he made back then for himself and the Xu family.
Anyihou picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp: "Your Majesty, you may not want to see today's results." Prince Wei definitely did not want to have anything to do with Anyihou's mansion.
The prince of Wei was humiliated and rejected by the current emperor because of this marriage.
Marquis Anyi drank another drink.
The strong wine penetrated the intestines, and there was a burning feeling in the belly.
Fortunately, the prince is not dead. There is still hope in the Wei Palace. He still has a chance to do something and atone for his sins. Just like Qing Huan said, he can no longer remain silent like this. He can't keep kneeling there and watching.
King Wei was killed.
An Yihou drank another glass of wine, and some pride welled up in his chest. He was not completely useless. Just as he was thinking about this, the door was pushed open, and then Mrs. Xu walked in.
Mrs. Xu walked in quickly and unexpectedly saw the Marquis sitting there, pouring himself a drink.
"Master Hou," Mrs. Xu couldn't believe her eyes, her anger suddenly rushed to her head, "Master Hou is so proud."
Marquis An Yi's heart, which was full of pride just now, suddenly sank. Huang stood up hurriedly and came forward: "Why are you here, madam? Don't get me wrong, madam, I just..."
"Just what?" Mrs. Xu opened her eyes wide, "Did the Marquis think about asking me when he made the engagement with the Song family? Did the Marquis think about explaining to me after he entered the house?
I have been frightened and frightened for so many days. I am trying to persuade the wife not to be angry with the Marquis. I wonder if there is another hidden reason in this matter. Who am I?
It seems that the Marquis does not need a concubine at all. If I am not here, the Marquis' life will be more satisfactory."
Mrs. Xu said and walked out.
An Yihou was shocked and immediately stepped forward to stop his beloved wife: "My husband is wrong. Please listen to my husband's explanation. This matter is not what you think."
The voice of Marquis Anyi begging for mercy was heard in the house.
The servants outside just pretended not to hear anything.
After a while, Mrs. Xu came out. An Yihou rubbed his knees and suddenly felt like the hero was short of breath. Is it because he was old?
