Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

"Found it?" The prince was stunned: "Sanlang, you don't need to be in such a hurry, there are other seals in the palace, and it will not be a problem to bring them into the palace tomorrow morning!"

"I dare to disturb Your Highness because of another matter!" Wang Wenzuo said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, please push back the others and let me play His Highness alone!"

Li Hong glanced at Wang Wenzuo in surprise, waved his hand, and signaled the left and right maids to step back, and asked, "Sanlang, is something wrong with Yang's residence?"

"That's right!" Wang Wenzuo nodded, and then told the whole thing according to what Yang Sijian said in the Yang Mansion earlier, and finally said: "I also know that this is very difficult to accept, but Your Highness is the heir of the country, and the safety of the world depends on it." Your Majesty, I also ask you to express your condolences and obey the changes, and put your body at the top of your list!"

"How did this happen? How did this happen?" Li Hong repeated his words, his eyes were blank, and he seemed to be still trying to understand the meaning behind the words uttered from Wang Wenzuo's mouth.

"His Royal Highness!" Wang Wenzuo stretched out his right hand, trying to grab Li Hong's arm, but was violently thrown away by the other party. This was the first time in Wang Wenzuo's memory.

"What's going on?" Li Hong stared at Wang Wenzuo viciously, his eyes full of disgust for the bad news.

"His Royal Highness, during the banquet Zhou Guogong drank too much and got drunk, so Yang Gong kept him to rest in the mansion. At night, Zhou Guogong was rude to the Crown Princess and shot and killed the Crown Princess's maid, Huan'er. The Crown Princess was humiliated and hanged herself. Yang Gong was furious, That's how it happened to kill Zhou Guogong!"

"Yueniang is dead!" Li Hong seemed to finally understand what Wang Wenzuo meant. He sat down, covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly: "How could this happen? How could this happen? She doesn't need this! She doesn't need this at all of!"

Wang Wenzuo looked at the prince who was sitting on the ground crying bitterly. At this time, he was like an ordinary boy who had lost his lover, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.Yes, Wang Wenzuo's hands have been stained with the blood of countless people since time travel, conspiracy and deceit have penetrated into his bone marrow, but this young man in front of him is different, although he was born with great power, But he never used this power to deliberately harm others, and he was always full of kindness and respect for Wang Wenzuo. Deceiving such a person made Wang Wenzuo feel ashamed and ashamed.

"I have no choice either!" Wang Wenzuo thought to himself, "If I tell you the truth, you will only suffer more. It's bad for your fiancée to be raped, but it's better than your fiancée taking the initiative to have an affair with a third party. Even if it's a lie , this is also a kind of white lie!"

"Sanlang, clean up and go to the Yang Mansion with me!" The prince stood up and said in a low voice.

"Your Highness, I think the most important thing now is to go to the two His Majesties in front of you first!" Wang Wenzuo said.

"Meet Your Majesty?" The prince was stunned.

"Yes, I know that you want to see the young lady of the Yang family for the last time, but have you ever thought that the Yang residence must be in chaos now, and I'm afraid it may not be possible to dispose of the young lady of the Yang family. You'd better Give Yang Gong some time! Moreover, if you go out of the palace late at night, it is not in accordance with the etiquette, and I am afraid that you will be impeached by the imperial censor tomorrow, which is not good for Yang Gong!"

"Sanlang, you are right!" The crown prince nodded: "The widow's eyes are in chaos, I really don't think carefully!"

"Your Highness is benevolent, able to take care of others' worries, and worry about others' worries. It is really a blessing for the world and ministers!" Wang Wenzuo knelt down and kowtowed his head: "Besides this, there is one more thing. Duke Zhou is the queen. His Majesty's nephew was also given the surname Wu, and he was said to be a minister of the imperial court, and privately said to be the personal love of His Majesty the Empress. Being killed by Yang Gong in this way, even if there is a reason, it is not so simple. What is more important is that Zhou Guogong is dead, the daughter of the Yang family is dead, and only Yang Gong is alive. If this matter is announced to the world, it may damage the face of the court, do you think the two saints will handle this matter in this way?"

"Sanlang, you are right!" After Wang Wenzuo's call, Li Hong suddenly woke up: "The most important thing right now is to face Aye and Aniang first, you have made a great contribution!"

"Don't dare!" Wang Wenzuo lowered his head: "His Royal Highness treats me with great kindness, it is really hard to repay such hard work!"

"Sanlang!" Li Hong patted Wang Wenzuo on the shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "Thanks for being here tonight, otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

In the middle of the night, the palace city of Chang'an was silent, and the bright moonlight fell, which made the shadows of the trees beside the road even darker. From time to time, a gust of northwest wind blew by, making the leaves rustle slightly.Since he was in the palace, Wang Wenzuo didn't ride a horse. He followed the prince's Chengyu right side with his sword on his back and bow, and led a team of Donggong Qianniu guards on duty to surround the prince and hurried to Xuanwu gate.Although it is said that his official position is only the right guard of the Eastern Palace, but in fact the other guards of the tenth rate of the Eastern Palace are also under his command. Guards such as Qianniuwei, Beishen, and Prison Gate also belonged to his jurisdiction.

"Who is coming?" Wang Wenzuo heard someone shouting loudly when he was still more than a hundred steps away from Xuanwu Gate. He knew that it was the North Gate Forbidden Army on duty. The fastest passage to Daming Palace, the empress and emperor are both in Daming Palace recently, if you want to get from East Palace to Daming Palace, the fastest passage is Xuanwu Gate.

"His Royal Highness, please wait a moment, and I will go pass the message first!" Wang Wenzuo whispered to the prince, and then ran forward quickly, saying loudly while running: "The prince wants to go to Daming Palace to face the saint, open the door quickly! "

Wang Wenzuo heard a commotion on the tower, apparently the officer on duty did not expect the identity of the person coming. Immediately he saw two lanterns protruding from the tower. Wang Wenzuo knew that this was to determine whether it was a lie, so he took a few steps forward. Go to the city gate and let the other party see his face clearly.

"It turned out to be General Wang!" The Beiya officer on duty had already recognized Wang Wenzuo, and he hurriedly shouted: "There are rules in the palace, the city gates are not allowed to be opened after dark!"

"Of course I know the rules!" Wang Wenzuo interrupted the officer's answer: "But there is a reason for the incident, and His Royal Highness is behind. If you feel embarrassed, you can send someone to report to Daming Palace first!"

The officer looked behind Wang Wenzuo, and sure enough, he saw the prince's driver coming. Although he couldn't see who was sitting on the driver's seat at night, Wang Wenzuo must not be brave enough to deceive Xuanwumen with a fake prince. He hurriedly said: : "General Wang, please wait a moment, let the villain send someone to report!"

"Thank you!" Wang Wenzuo responded, returned to Prince Chengyu, and said in a low voice, "I guess there is at least one meal left, after all, at this hour—"

"Sanlang, you don't need to say more, I understand!" Li Hong smiled bitterly and sighed: "Really, until now I feel like a dream. Yin and Yang are separated, and we can never see each other again, this, this—" At this point, tears flowed from Li Hong's eyes.

"Prince!" Wang Wenzuo wanted to comfort him, but found that he didn't know what to say. After all, it was not him who suffered all this, but the young man in front of him. He could only reach out and hold the prince's hand without saying a word.

After a long while, Li Hong sighed, and said in a low voice: "I understand, everything is fate, and you can't ask for it! Sanlang, after this incident, you go to Da Ci'en Temple to do something for the widow. Yueniang died unexpectedly this time. , I am afraid that I will fall into the nether world and suffer all kinds of suffering. The widow will copy a volume of the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra, and you will send it to the temple for me, make a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, put the Buddhist scriptures into the Bodhisattva, and make vows to the eight divisions of the Dragon and Heaven, For the sake of protection and help, Yueniang can inherit this good cause, not drown in the nether world, and all karmic obstacles in this world will be eliminated, and she will receive immeasurable blessings and make offerings forever."

"The minister leads the decree!" Wang Wenzuo lowered his head, although he felt that the woman was not worthy of Li Hong to do this, but as long as doing so would make the prince feel better, then let him do it!

While talking, there was a voice from the city gate. It turned out that there had been a message from the Daming Palace, allowing the door to be opened to let His Highness the Crown Prince come over, but the accompanying party could not exceed twenty.Wang Wenzuo and the prince passed the Xuanwu Gate, walked up the Longshouyuan, entered the Daming Palace, and soon arrived at the residence of the emperor and empress.

"Sanlang, you go in with the widow, and everyone else is waiting outside!" Li Hong said.

"The minister obeys the order!"

————————————————————————

Daming Palace, Hanliang Palace.

"Baby, see Auntie!" Li Hong bowed to the queen who was reclining on the brocade couch. He looked around, but he didn't see Li Zhi, and asked: "Aye, he—"

"Sage, he is not feeling well these days. He often has a headache and can't sleep all night. He finally fell asleep last night, but you came!" Wu's smooth forehead was shrouded in melancholy: " Do you have anything urgent?"

"Since this is the case, the child will not bother Aye!" Li Hong hurriedly lowered his head: "It's the same with mother!"

"Yeah!" Mrs. Wu showed a smile: "Get up and talk! What made you come to Daming Palace in the middle of the night?"

"That's what happened!" Li Hong took a deep breath: "Just now a major incident happened in Yang Sijian's house, the child didn't dare to delay, and went to the palace overnight to report to mother!"

"At Yang Sijian's house?" The smile on Wu's face disappeared: "What happened to his house? Didn't he hold a banquet last night? Could it be that something happened to his daughter?"

If Wang Wenzuo were here, she would definitely marvel at Wu's keen intuition. Although she didn't know anything yet, she could quickly grasp the key to the matter with only the little details she had.

"Mother guessed right!" Li Hong lowered his head, "Duke Zhou also went to the banquet last night. He was so drunk at the time that he stayed in the Yang Mansion. As a result, that night, Duke Zhou shot and killed Yueniang's servant girl and raped Yueniang. , Yueniang was humiliated but committed suicide, Yang Sijian was furious and killed the murderer."

Snapped!
There was only a sound, it turned out that Mrs. Wu had smashed a piece of suet white jade Ruyi beside the brocade couch, stood up, her face was ashen, and she was extremely angry.

----------------------

"My humble servant bows to His Majesty the Empress!" Wang Wenzuo bent over and rushed into the hall, and knelt down fifteen or sixteen steps away from the empress.

"Come closer!" Empress Wu waved her hand.

"Observe the order!" Wang Wenzuo took another ten steps on his knees before stopping again.

"Did you witness what happened tonight in the Yang Mansion?" There was a trembling sound of metal impact in the Queen's voice, which made Wang Wenzuo's heart tremble: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I just witnessed the princess's personal maid being shot by Zhou Guogong. Killing, and Zhou Guogong and the Crown Princess are in the same room, as for more, I dare not look at it!"

"Humph!" Empress Wu snorted coldly, and she immediately realized what Wang Wenzuo meant. After all, telling the story in detail in front of the prince would be like tearing open the son's wound again and sprinkling it on. a handful of salt.Of course, it can only be sketched. Of course, it is enough to shoot and kill the personal servant girl of the future crown princess, and share a room with the crown princess in the middle of the night.But there was a voice deep in the Queen's heart telling her that there was something wrong with the man kneeling on the ground in front of her.

"His Royal Highness, you go out for a while, I want to ask Wang Qing a few things alone!"

The prince was slightly taken aback, but he still obeyed his mother's order and left the palace.

The queen sneered: "Wang Wenzuo, you are playing a good trick!"

Wang Wenzuo suddenly felt a weak electric current passing through his back, and fear flooded his chin like a swamp, covering his mouth and nose.He forced himself to control his emotions, and said, "Why did Your Majesty say that?"

"Wang Wenzuo, how dare you play tricks in front of the widow?" The queen sneered and said, "A few days ago, you just wrote to the widow that Wu Minzhi privately enlisted the soldiers of the tenth rank of the Eastern Palace. With money in his pocket, he died suddenly today, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

"Your Majesty the Queen!" Wang Wenzuo raised his head, "When I returned to Chang'an, it was the two His Majesties who asked me to investigate the affairs of the government soldiers, and it was also the two Your Majesties who asked me to command the ten commanders of the Eastern Palace. Other things are your family affairs, how dare I hear about them. As for tonight's matter, Zhou Guogong's actions are not up to me to decide; I found out about this because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left a goldfish bag in the Yang Mansion. It contained the crown prince's personal treasures, so I went back to Yang's mansion to look for it myself, just happened to encounter this matter. The minister and the public are the prince's servants, and because of the prince's kindness in private, how can we not report this matter to His Royal Highness? I don’t know where to start talking about this matter with the minister!”

"You are eloquent, eloquent, quick-witted and changeable, I have known it for a long time!" Empress Wu sneered: "Yes, I really can't find the key evidence that you meddled in it, but I am not an official of Dali Temple. There are so many real evidences. It is enough for the widow to doubt, and someone will naturally ask you to confess!"

I saw someone in the discussion forum asking if it happened.I just want to say that there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. A good painter will not paint the entire paper, and needs to leave blank space for the imagination of the viewer.For example, "Rashomon" is like this. I will write some of the facts, and you can think about the rest. I admit that this kind of writing is good in online articles, but wouldn't it be more fun to try it occasionally?
