After all, Concubine Shu has experienced many storms, she calmed down quickly, and still maintained her demeanor as a concubine. When she was thinking about how to go back and save her, she saw that Chang Xi couldn't wait to pull a few to prove that she had been In the hall, I only went out for a few breaths halfway.

Just a few breaths of time is not enough to handle the case, what's more, when she went out halfway, the third prince was still in the palace, this big guy can see with eyes, and he can't slander casually if he wants to, after all, this Which of the people sitting in the temple has no status?

"That is to say, you didn't go out afterwards?" Wei Guogong asked his niece seemingly sternly, but he was actually trying to excuse her.

Chang Xi nodded, "Although the place where I sit is remote, it is always in everyone's sight, and I have been toasting to everyone, everyone can attest to that."

The few people who were pulled out did not dare to offend Wei Guogong and the mighty Marquis Mansion, so they quickly swore that what Chang Xi said was right, and because they were telling the truth, these people all looked frank, which made it easier Win people's trust.

This sudden development caught Concubine Shu by surprise. When Wei Guogong turned his head and threw the question at her, she could only force herself to remain calm, "It seems that the daughter of the mighty Marquis Mansion was slandered, and this Palace has already known about it. I will definitely find out afterwards..."

She tried to make peace with the mud, so as not to let the development of this matter get out of her control, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with it, but unfortunately things backfired.

Seeing that Wei Guogong had a firm attitude, he said, "Your Majesty, the person who pretends to be the niece of the minister must not be tolerated. Apart from ruining his reputation, he also assassinated the third prince. The plot is bad. Please take it to the hall for interrogation immediately to see who instigated it." ?”

The situation has reversed, the father of Wei Wuhou couldn't pretend to be dead anymore, so he quickly stood up and said, "Mother, what my brother-in-law said is very true."

Everyone agreed, after all, there was something strange about this matter, and there were many political enemies of the Third Prince in this palace, and they helped Concubine Shu up.

Only then did Zhao Jin speak in a timely manner, "Since this happened at a banquet, my grandson must not fail the entrustment of my grandfather. As the host of the banquet, my grandson is obliged to investigate this matter, and I ask Grandma Shu to cooperate. "After finishing speaking, without waiting for Concubine Shu's reaction, she immediately clapped her hands and asked people to bring the assassin pretending to be Chang Xi in for interrogation.

Concubine Shu was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, Zhao Jin must have done it on purpose, he only jumped out at this time, just to expand this matter, he really deserves to be punished.

The third concubine secretly asked her grandfather Feng Shoufu for help, but her grandfather still sat with his eyes half-closed, as if he was old and mentally ill and fell asleep. This made her anxious, and she couldn't help complaining about her grandfather's inhumanity.

She turned to look at her parents, hoping that they would stand up and speak out for her husband. Didn't she see that Chang Xi's relatives came out to defend her?Will they die if they come out to defend her?
The mother wanted to move, but her arm was tightly held by her father, who avoided her gaze, and only looked at her fiercely, with warning eyes.

The third concubine no longer tried to ask her natal family for help. She was not stupid. She knew that her natal family was cutting off marriage with her to avoid getting involved. The resentment in her heart was rising. What kind of family is such a person?
Not long after, the woman pretending to be Chang Xi was dragged in with her head bowed. Seeing the disheveled and disheveled appearance of the hair bun, she seemed to be caught.

Chang Xi immediately looked at the woman, and when Zhao Jin ordered someone to lift the woman's face, she immediately exclaimed, "It's you!"

"You know her?" Wei Guogong asked.

Chang Xi nodded, and briefly stated her previous quarrel with this woman, and then said with a look of fear, "She wet my clothes, and then dragged me desperately to change clothes. Fortunately, I I wasn't fooled, otherwise wouldn't it be impossible to wash myself off even if I jumped into the Yellow River?"

At that time, the two had an unpleasant fight, and everyone in that corner saw it, and there was no shortage of witnesses.

The woman struggled and shouted, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I didn't assassinate the Third Prince, I didn't, let me go..."

Even the identity of the woman was exposed in an instant, and now her husband could no longer pretend to be dead, so he came out and knelt on the ground tremblingly, "I really didn't know that she would do such a rebellious thing, I am really wronged ..."

Husband and wife are one, and he can't be exonerated with a few words of grievances. After all, those who have talked with this woman before are afraid of being implicated, so they step on it one after another, making it impossible for the couple to argue.

In the end of this farce, the old emperor ordered his father-in-law to come over and pass on the oral order, "Your Majesty ordered that assassinating the prince in the palace is a heinous crime. Immediately hand over the assassin to the Jin Yiwei for investigation and punishment. Today's banquet will end here."

This is forcibly putting an end to this matter, preventing it from expanding, and even Chang Xi can safely return to Wei's side first.

Wei's hands, which were sweating cold, squeezed Chang Xi's hand tightly, like a lost treasure, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for your mother."

Of course Chang Xi was not afraid, but because of Wei's false alarm, she nodded and accepted her affection.

Mrs. Han said a few comforting words with a kind face, so that no one would think she was unkind.

"Let's go back first." Wei Wuhou, as the head of the family, made the final decision.

Chang Xi didn't even look at him. She saw through this guy who was just like her scumbag father in her previous life. On the contrary, it was Wei Guogong who spoke for her. She quickly saluted and thanked him, "Thank you, uncle."

Wei Guogong said, "We are all one family, so don't talk about these empty etiquette."

In this incident, there are still many strange things that people can't figure out, but he doesn't intend to delve into it.

Chang Xi still looked at him gratefully, but when his eyes passed him, he looked at Zhao Jin who was still on the stage. The two eyes collided, they communicated secretly, and then averted their eyes as if nothing had happened.

The guests left the palace one after another, and the third concubine caught up with grandfather Feng Shoufu while no one was paying attention, "Grandfather, are you really not going to help me?"

Feng Shoufu, who was being supported by his son to get into the sedan chair, turned his head to look at the granddaughter who he loved so much, "When you were going to die or marry into the royal family, I made it clear to you that you can only take care of yourself in the future, Feng Home can't let you go into a ditch."

"Grandfather is still blaming me?" The third prince and concubine said tearfully.

Feng Shoufu didn't have the affection of the past in his eyes, "Whatever you sow, you will get what you want, you can do it yourself." After finishing speaking, he turned around and got into the sedan chair, no longer talking to this confused granddaughter who was seduced and hooked up at the beginning, until now, She didn't realize that the reason why he married her was because she was his granddaughter.

Feng Shoufu's eldest son stopped his wife who wanted to comfort his daughter. The Feng family should not be involved in the battle for the heir apparent, so don't bring disaster to the family.

Mrs. Feng could only comfort her daughter with her eyes, and was dragged helplessly by her husband to slowly leave the palace beside her father-in-law's sedan chair.

The family gradually went away, and the third concubine who stayed in the same place suddenly felt very cold all over, and for the first time regretted the choice she made back then.

At this time, the old emperor was still sitting on the futon in his bedroom, looking at the third son who was being helped to walk in, staring at this son with a gloomy expression.

"Royal father." The third prince did not dare to look directly at the old emperor, and could only salute with his head bowed enduring the pain.

The old emperor didn't feel sorry for his son who had just been assassinated and suffered physical injuries. He was already showing mercy by not killing him. If it were him, he would have sent him to the underworld to report.

Seeing this son who had repeatedly disappointed him, he couldn't help but think of his dead eldest son, and his anger rose instantly. He stood up suddenly, stepped forward and kicked the third son's shoulder who was kneeling on the ground, and kicked the son over. on the ground.

The third prince showed fear, he didn't care about the pain of the wound on his body, he quickly got up and knelt down on the ground again, "Father, I know I was wrong, I will never dare again..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked again by the old emperor. This time the pain was even worse. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. At least he was still rational, and he didn't dare to call for injustice, otherwise he would anger the old father even more.

"I am very disappointed in you. I turned a blind eye to what happened back then, thinking that if you can treat your nephew kindly, then why not give this country to you? But you let me down again and again..."

He asked the two of them to host the royal banquet tonight, and his attitude was already very obvious. He was very pleased that Zhao Jin did not compete with the emperor's uncle for the limelight, but his son was not at all modest about stealing the limelight. He already frowned, but still wanted to give him another chance, and this one came right after him.

The third prince was stunned, he had been on the way to seize the heir, but this was the first time he heard his father's words, and it was also the first time he was so close to the great position, but he messed up all of this, thinking about it, He cried bitterly, "Father, I really know that I am wrong, I will definitely treat brother Jin kindly in the future, I can swear to my ancestors..."

"It's late." The old emperor looked into the distance faintly. He really thought that his dead eldest son was a truly upright gentleman, but it was this gentleman who made him worry. Such a person could not Bear the weight of the country.

If it is too bright, no grass will grow. It is because of worry that people take advantage of the loopholes and make their father and son suspicious, and finally heaven and man are separated forever.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has been brought here."

Concubine Shu is not as calm and breezy at the banquet at the moment. At this moment, she was pushed and staggered into the palace in a little embarrassment. Before she could get angry, she saw the old emperor sternly Looking at her, this made her tremble, she quickly knelt down, and forced herself to calm down, "Your Majesty..."

"I thought you were smart, but you still look like that. I regret leaving you alive. You have taught my son astray."

"Your Majesty, that's not the case. The concubine doesn't know anything..."

Concubine Shu tried to argue, but the old emperor wouldn't listen, "Do you really think I'm old and confused?"
