After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 157
Wei Xingzhi pushed Wan Chengqian's hand away, shook his head for a moment, then quickly calmed down, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, Yu'er, Yu'er is still inside..."

After she said that, she tried to stand up with her hands on the ground, and turned her head to the door of the hall.

Wan Qiyou was wearing a turquoise bijiao, standing at the door with his hands clenched tightly, his little face was bloodless, his upper teeth were biting his lower lip tightly, and he tried his best not to let the tears fall from his eyes .

The faces of Wei Xingzhi and Wan Qiqian were silent for a moment.

The Empress Dowager passed away and died of illness, so she told the world.

As the year approached, the four kingdoms gathered in Nanxiao, and the Queen Mother passed away without warning, which was a surprise to everyone.

Wan Qiqian ordered that no one should spread rumors that the assassination was related to Xishu.

If the people of Nanxiao knew about it, it would definitely arouse public anger. No one would be able to swallow the anger of a dignified queen mother who was assassinated by an enemy country in her own territory.

But Wan Qiqian and Wei Xing knew how to do it.

This is not a good time to fight a war. If you don't have the confidence to win a battle, then you can't fight this battle. Otherwise, the people will suffer, and the people will suffer.

They didn't tell the outside world, but it didn't mean that Nan Xiao could let the people from Xishu go back safe and sound.

Wei Xingzhi sat on the chair under the imperial study room, his face haggard.

Since the Empress Dowager passed away, the palace has been covered with plain clothes, she is now wearing white plain clothes, no makeup and jewelry, she has not slept for two nights, and her eyes are covered with black and blue.

As long as she closes her eyes, the Queen Mother's words before her death will appear in her mind.

That phoenix-pattern bracelet was extremely hot in the palm of my hand.

"Drink some water." Wan Chengqian pushed the door and walked in, but Wei Xingzhi didn't respond.

He walked to the table and poured a cup of tea himself, "Look at your dry mouth."

Wei Xingzhi took it absent-mindedly, took two sips perfunctorily, and put it back on the table, "The court lady has also been interrogated, what did the interrogation find out?"

Wan Qiqian waved back the people below, "She is very stubborn, I sent Chunyu to check her details, she is not from Xishu, but a member of a gang located at the junction of Nanxiao and Xishu, but she Has quit the gang for a long time, has a husband and a son.

Her husband died six months ago, and her son's whereabouts are unknown. "

Wei Xingzhi's eyes moved slightly, "Half a year, she should have been in the palace for three months."

Wan Qiqian lifted up his plain white robe and sat on the dragon chair, "That's right, she said that her husband was killed by Yu Linglong's people to frighten her, and threatened her with her son's life, forcing her to study for two years. After a month of court etiquette in Nanxiao, he was secretly sent to the palace to be a maid for three months."

Wei Xingzhi looked at him, "That night, Xia Feng and Qiu Sheng were not there, how could Yu Linglong know? The queen mother has no grievances with her, why did she kill the queen mother and Yu'er, don't you find it strange? The maid said It's so easy..."

"Cheng Wansu." Wan Qiqian and Wei Xingzhi spoke in unison.

Wei Xingzhi's face suddenly turned cold, "She did this to harm Yu Linglong?"

Wan Qiqian was silent for a moment, "If it wasn't for her, how could Yu Linglong enter the palace quietly? I'm afraid Yu Linglong was also plotted by her."

"Boom boom boom——"

Both of them turned their eyes to the door.

Li Duobao poked his head in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...the Empress Dowager fainted in front of the Empress Dowager's spirit, and a servant from below said, Your Majesty, you...you..."

"Say." Wan Qiqian frowned.

Li Duobao glanced at Wei Xingzhi, "It said that you were bewitched by Master Wei, and you left your wife and mother alone, and hung out with Master Wei all day... There are already veterans who knelt down at the gate of the palace and begged the emperor to expel Master Wei from the palace." .”

Wan Qiqian's face changed suddenly, "If you pass on my will, whoever dares to make false remarks will be dismissed as an agent."

"No." Wei Xingzhi stopped him, "If you issue such an order at this time, if one of those ministers dares to die at the gate of the palace, then I will not be able to escape."

After a pause, she said again, "Call them all in."

Wei Xingzhi stabilized his mind, "Since the queen has fainted from the spirit guard, she should be sent back to Fengqi Palace to take good care of her. Let Concubine Xu Xian temporarily take care of the spirit guard, and secretly summon the fifth prince and second princess of Xishu to enter the palace. The queen has just fainted. Someone spontaneously went to the gate of the palace to kneel... If this hadn't been arranged in advance, this official would not believe it."

She stood up from her chair, glanced at Li Duobao, "What are you still doing, let's do it."

"Yes, yes..." Li Duobao retracted his head and ran away without stopping.

Wei Xingzhi picked up the cup on the table, poured down the tea in it, and woke up.

"I'd like to see who dares to deal with these moths."

At that moment, Wan Tuqian seemed to have seen Wei Xingzhi who was fighting the Confucian scholars in the court that day.

Soon, those courtiers who were kneeling outside were led in by Li Duobao. To Wei Xingzhi's surprise, there was even old Qin Ge.

When she looked at Mr. Qin Ge, Mr. Qin Ge winked at her, and automatically stood aside to show that he was on the same side as her.

Just kidding, how could he be an enemy of his granddaughter-in-law? He came here to support his granddaughter-in-law.

Before Wei Xingzhi could speak, another familiar person followed at the end.

Old General Wei held his head high and held his chest high, his weapon imposing.

"What are you doing here, grandfather?" Wei Xingzhi almost knocked his jaw on the ground. Her grandfather quit the officialdom a month ago and went back to play with birds.

Old General Wei also spontaneously stood aside, his whole body was filled with a vicious aura.

"Let's see what's wrong with you."

Come on, Old General Wei stood there ferociously, and those courtiers who had something to say just now fell silent for a moment.

The corner of Wan Chengqian's mouth turned up slightly imperceptibly, "Don't you have something to say? Tell me, I want to hear, what do you have to say to me."

The imperial study room fell into silence, and after a long time, someone dared to say, "Your Majesty, it is the time when the Empress Dowager passes away, and filial piety is the first of all good deeds. Your Majesty, you should set an example in the world and guard the spirit of the Empress Dowager." !

The empress performed her filial piety for the emperor in front of the coffin. She did not eat, drink, or sleep. Now she has passed out, but the emperor, you have never even seen the empress, and even... all the ministers know that Mr. Wei is The pillars of the country, but there is a difference between men and women. The ministers and others know that the relationship between the emperor and Lord Wei is innocent, but... it is difficult to block the mouths of the world. "

"The subject seconded the proposal, Your Majesty, as a woman, even though Master Wei has the ability to be a prime minister, she should also accept the precept of female virtue."

……

Wan Chengqian's face became more and more ugly.

Before Wei Xingzhi could speak, Mr. Qin Ge retorted, "Master Liu, I don't like to hear what you said. Mr. Wei is the granddaughter-in-law of the Qin family who has never been married. I, Qin Ziqing, didn't say anything. It's your turn to be here." What are you talking about, female virtues and female rings?"

Hearing Wan Chengqian's ears, the phrase "granddaughter-in-law who has never been married" was particularly unpleasant.
