"It's not their fault." Wei Hanzhang frowned and said: "The matter of attracting insect powder has not been found out yet. It is impossible to prevent it. As for the poison..."

Thinking of the damn poison that made the relationship between them so awkward, Wei Hanzhang was also a little angry, but she was not the one to vent her anger, so she said, "If you want to blame, blame me. I was the one who left Wei Hansu alone." Being around gives her the opportunity to bewitched, and it has nothing to do with a few aunts."

Xiao Junzhan shook his head slightly, how could he blame her.

The little girl has just grown up and has grown up in a honey pot. She may not even have seen a few secrets in the back house. How can she understand that people's hearts are sinister, and how can she think that a concubine who treats her sincerely will harm herself.

He said warmly: "Ranran is young, treats people too sincerely, and trusts others easily, but they are different. They are all old people in the inner court. They have seen so many tricks in the inner court, which is enough for them to develop the skills of recognizing people, and they are also familiar with the rules of the palace. They are all treasures of the family, and I sent them to you for the purpose of reminding you when you are confused about the people around you."

Wei Hanzhang knew that these four female officials were of high rank and were definitely ordinary people. He thought he pointed them out to prevent Wei Ping and Liu from embarrassing her in the name of their elders before she got married. Who would have thought that he would return the favor? There is this intention.

...Every aspect has been arranged for her.

It's really strange. Does this man really think of himself as her father?

He was worried that she would be injured, that the Wei family would cause her injustice, and that she would be deceived by those around her.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she opened her mouth subconsciously. In the end, she still looked at him quietly, speechless.

Xiao Junzhan thought that the girl was still dissatisfied with the person he had dealt with, and said patiently: "They didn't take it seriously when they were on duty. They couldn't even detect whether a little concubine had any ill intentions towards their master. How can I forgive Ran Ran? "

He never keeps useless people around him, so it should be the same around her.

If the same thing happened to him, the bowl of green plum soup that was bewitched would never have a chance to reach him.

Wei Hanzhang only felt that this man was really eloquent, and she was actually convinced by him.

The thinking of the superior person is that he is never wrong?
Even if it's wrong, the servants below should remind them, otherwise what's the use of them?
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Xiao Junzhan saw that her face was not very good, and frowned: "I was hungover last night, so I'd better get some sleep."

"Can you tell me how you dealt with them?" Wei Hanzhang thought of the punishment he used on Wei Hansu, who frequently 'skinned and extracted bones', and asked unconsciously: "Are they still alive?"

As soon as he said this, Xiao Junzhan's face darkened, "In Ran Ran's eyes, am I a tyrant who wants to kill people?"

How could he let himself have such an image in her mind.

"No..." Wei Hanzhang also realized that he had misunderstood, and whispered: "I didn't think you were a tyrant."

Xiao Junzhan glanced at her and said noncommittally: "They are not doing their jobs well and are not unjustly accused of dereliction of duty. They cannot stay with you. They have been demoted from the third rank to the fifth rank. There is a place for fifth-rank female officials in the inner court."

After hearing this, Wei Hanzhang felt that the punishment of being demoted to two levels in a row was a bit harsh, but he did not plead for mercy.

He is the prince and has already been dealt with. It is really inappropriate for her to beg for mercy at every turn.

Thinking that the other person was thinking about everything, but he had just misunderstood him, Wei Hanzhang poured him a cup of tea with some enthusiasm and said: "You drank a lot last night, are you feeling uncomfortable? Drink a cup of tea and wake up." bar."

She had just discovered that today's tea was useful for sobering up.

After two cups of tea, the hangover headache was relieved a lot.

Xiao Junzhan took the fan she placed on the desk and gently blew her wind. He picked up the tea cup with his other hand and drank it all, saying, "You act like everyone is like you, and you can't help but do things."

Wei Hanzhang blinked. It was strange. This man was really angry.

How difficult it was to hear such strange words from his mouth.

She poured tea for him again and said slightly dissatisfied: "Do you have a good drinker?"

"Not bad." Xiao Junzhan glanced at her: "If you are used as a reference, then it is very good."

"...How much can you drink?" Wei Hanzhang felt unhappy after hearing this. She put down the teapot and looked at him with dissatisfaction: "I drank the pot of wine yesterday, and you still said that I couldn't help it."

Xiao Junzhan smiled slightly and said: "We have a long way to go, you will always have a chance to know."

Thinking of the way this man poured wine for him yesterday, Wei Hanzhang's heart was filled with worry. He was afraid that he might accidentally fall into his provocation. He hurriedly put his forehead on his forehead and said, "I have a headache. I'm going to rest."

Xiao Junzhan believed it to be true and stood up to hug her, but Wei Hanzhang first called Luzhu and Lulan to come in and help him.

Moreover, in front of the two maids, he said to him: "You are not married yet. Your Highness must not act as recklessly as yesterday."

Knowing that this girl was not easy to get along with, Xiao Junzhan didn't mind and quietly watched her go to the inner room to rest.

After a long time, he called Ning Hai in and ordered: "From today onwards until we return to Beijing, we are not allowed to eat a grain of rice for the Liu family on the way."

Ning Hai was stunned when he heard this. He carefully looked at His Highness's expression and hurriedly agreed in a low voice.

...This is the first time that he has met His Highness and personally ordered the torture of prisoners, who are still prisoners who have not yet been sentenced.

There are still two days left on the way back to Beijing. During these two days, I will not be given any food. If I meet others, I will inevitably feel a little bit mean.

As for the water, the escorting guards were afraid of trouble. Yesterday, they only fed him half a bowl when they were released from the prison car at night. It was not Xiao Junzhan's order.

However, thinking of what the Liu family has committed, every time His Highness spends a moment with Miss Wei, his hatred for the Liu family will deepen.

…………

During the rest of the journey, Xiao Junzhan was no longer the same frivolous person who had lost his sense of proportion in the hot spring tent that day.

Even when he held her hand, he was extremely restrained, and when he rested at night, he no longer stayed in the same room.

He knew how to keep a proper distance, so she forced herself to get used to being alone in the carriage during the day.

Until the day he returned to Beijing, Wei Hanzhang looked at the scenery outside the car and felt really happy. He finally didn't have to spend time with him day and night and could live a pure life.

He was happy in his heart but could not hide it on his face. Xiao Junzhan could see it at a glance.

He looked steadily at the happy girl opposite and said, "I'll go back to find you."

???

Wei Hanzhang raised his head in confusion: "What did you say?"

"We are separated by a wall. If Ran Ran doesn't come, then I will go find you." Xiao Junzhan took her hand, squeezed it gently, and said with a gentle face: "The other courtyard of Prince Yan's Mansion, will you come?"

...will it come?

She had already made up her mind to stay away from him after returning to Beijing. It would be strange to go!
Xiao Junzhan obviously understood this, so he chuckled and said, "It's okay if Ran Ran doesn't come. I'll come find you after I finish handling the government affairs."

Prince Luan stopped outside Duke Wei's mansion.

When Wei Hanzhang got out of the car, everyone was still confused.

...Why aren't you even given a chance to breathe?

Didn't he know that she was under the love spell and it was very uncomfortable to be with him?

Jiang and Wei Heng were waiting for her at the gate. They were shocked when they saw their daughter looking dazed after getting out of the car. She thought she had been harmed by the Liu family and was really injured somewhere.

There were many people outside, and a family of three entered the house. Wei Hanzhang went to the main courtyard with his parents. The family had not seen each other for several days, so they had something to say.

The servants were unpacking boxes and packing in the courtyard. The three of them were sitting in the inner hall. Before the maid served hot tea, Mrs. Jiang couldn't wait to take her daughter and look her up and down, and said, "Is my son injured anywhere?"

The outside world only knew that Duke Anguo's attempt to murder the Crown Princess failed, but they did not know that Wei Hanzhang was poisoned.

Hearing Jiang's concerned question, Wei Hanzhang cut off the details and hid the matter of the Love Gu, saying: "There were no flesh wounds. The Seventh Sister and Liu Wanning wanted to poison me, but they didn't succeed. "

Her complexion had become rosy and shiny these days, and she didn't look sick. When Jiang saw her, she was completely relieved.

Then he couldn't help but scolded her again: "That black-hearted thing, he really doesn't know what to do with her no matter how nice he is. He just looks at her and doesn't say anything. He's not brave enough to harm my son."

"She has already paid the price, don't be upset anymore." Thinking of the girl who came to thank her in the morning light that day, carrying a food box, Wei Hanzhang sighed: "It's all men who mislead her."

Wei Heng and his wife knew that the concubine was madly in love with Chen Guogong's eldest son. When they heard that she had conspired with outsiders to murder their daughter, they speculated that it must be because of this.

Now that it was confirmed, Mrs. Jiang suddenly said angrily: "Shameless thing, I have seen people marry on poles, but I have never seen people who want to harm their own sisters if they can't get married. She thinks that by harming you, Prince Chen can marry her." ?”

"It was Liu Wanning who got the news from somewhere that Chen Zishu proposed marriage to me, and told her that she had heard it..." Wei Hanzhang said: "She was too jealous, so she wanted to harm me."

"Your grandfather has issued a hush-hush order about this matter, but the Liu family actually knows about it." Wei Heng frowned and said: "The people serving in the main courtyard are all children of the same family, how did the news get out?"

"It doesn't matter if the family has a son. There aren't a few spies from other people in the back house." Jiang said: "Besides, it's not just the Wei family that knows about this matter. Since Chen Shizi came to propose marriage, how could the Chen Guogong Palace not know about it, and Yongle too?" Hou..."

She counted them one by one, and then she realized that there were indeed many people who knew about this matter. Even if the information was leaked temporarily, there would be no way to investigate.

Wei Heng said: "No matter what, I have to tell my parents. Today is different from the past. There is also the matter of holding insect powder. I wrote a letter back to Beijing before, but I don't know if my father has found any clues."

... As for the grandfather who couldn't even find any evidence of the mastermind behind Wei Hanyue's humiliation overnight, which shocked the capital, it's strange that he could find out this man who had gone through countless layers of hands.

Wei Hanzhang was slandering in his heart, but his appearance was as usual and he did not express any opinions.

Wei Heng, on the other hand, glanced at her and said, "I have been away from Beijing for more than a month. Now that I am back, I must go to the ancestral home to pay homage to my elders. Ran Ran must go with her parents."

Before Wei Hanzhang could answer, Mrs. Jiang glanced at Wei Heng and said lukewarmly: "You're such a fool. Ran Ran was already frightened and rushed back to Beijing. Why didn't you ask the government doctor to see you?" Look, just ask her to have a good rest, but you also want her to come with you to pay your respects."

Hearing this, Wei Heng smiled bitterly. He just wanted to improve the relationship between his daughter and his parents.

They are all one family...

As he was about to say something else, he heard the servant's complaint coming from outside the door.

When Cao Cao arrived, Wei Ping and Liu came.

Also coming with him were the crown prince Wei Huan and his wife Qian.

They didn't go to the palace with them to escape the summer heat, so they were left among the nobles in the capital. It was most embarrassing for them to belong to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

After all, there was just a princess in the family, but they didn't have a role in accompanying her. You can imagine what others would think.

But for the rest of the month, I haven’t stopped at home.

First, news about the insect powder came from the palace. Wei Ping was furious when he got the news. Three hundred years after the founding of the country, the Wei family had just given birth to their first princess, and she was almost bitten by a snake. How could he do that? Tolerate.

Even though this little granddaughter is not very close to the family, as long as her surname is Wei, she belongs to the Wei family.

As long as she is the princess, the Wei family will not decline.

When the prince ascends the throne, the Wei family will be his descendant. If Wei Hanzhang gives birth to an heir to inherit the throne, the Wei family will be the emperor's maternal family.

The direct bloodline of the royal family, with the Wei family blood mixed in.

For a family like the Wei family with a century-old heritage, this is tantamount to a gold medal to avoid death.

Weiping would never allow anything to happen to his little granddaughter, so he started investigating after receiving the news.

However, the one who was faster than him was Xie Li, the Nagato Hou sent back by His Highness the Crown Prince, and it was not his turn to take action.

Xie Li was a man of extraordinary ability. In his early years, he had been assigned to one party as magistrate of the state. After he came back, he had experience in the Ministry of Punishment for a period of time. Wei Ping was assured of his handling of cases.

As a result, the heart had not been let go for long. A few days ago, Li Yue, the commander of the East Palace Guards, suddenly returned to Beijing early. As soon as he came back, he led his troops to surround Anguo Gong's mansion overnight.

Hundreds of people from the Liu family were all imprisoned. The movement was so great that the lights in Beicheng, where aristocratic families gathered, were brightly lit that night.

——All the distinguished nobles were alarmed.

The century-old Duke's Mansion collapsed when it was said to collapse, which is frightening to watch.

In this regard, the reason given by Li Yue was that the Liu family intended to murder the crown princess.

Murder the Crown Princess!
Who is the Crown Princess? She is from his Wei family.

Wei Ping's good mood was completely extinguished when he saw his enemy's downfall, and he immediately went to ask Li Yue for details. He wanted to find out whether the Liu family's murder plan was successful and whether his granddaughter was still alive.

But since Li Yue could become Xiao Junzhan's confidant, he didn't know how tight his tone was. He also knew that Marquis Zhongyong did not have the respect of His Highness, so he only said that His Highness had an order that no one should inquire about this case, and he refused to say a word more.

Now even the crown prince Wei Huan was on tenterhooks.

Just afraid of hearing bad news.

No, when I heard that Er'er's family was back today, Wei Ping's favorite old father, the head of the family, couldn't stand it anymore and immediately brought his direct family members over to visit.

In the hall, Wei Heng immediately stopped talking when he heard the report, stood up and went to greet him.

No matter how dissatisfied Jiang was with her parents-in-law, she couldn't save her face and ask others to find fault. However, when she got up, she specifically told her daughter: "If my son feels unwell, he can go back to his own courtyard to rest."

She knew that her daughter was estranged from the two elders, so naturally she was not willing to force her to follow the etiquette of a junior and go to greet them.

Her Ran Ran now has a valuable status, and she no longer needs to be manipulated by the 'elders' in the house.

Wei Hanzhang was not feeling unwell, but she knew that this was the reason her mother had given her. Of course, she had no intention of playing tricks with Wei Pingliu and the others, so she took advantage of the situation.

He got up and returned to Yuxuan Pavilion with his green beads and green orchid.

On this side, Wei Ping and Mrs. Liu waited in the main hall for a long time, only to see their son and daughter-in-law come. His expression changed slightly and he asked anxiously: "How is your Majesty?"

...Empress?
Wei Heng was really stunned. He asked doubtfully: "Dad, are you talking about Ran Ran?"

"Of course it's Ran Ran." Mrs. Liu lost her usual kind and dignified attitude, and her face was so anxious that she was sweating in this ice-filled hall. She grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Our family Ran Ran is okay, where are you injured?"

Jiang smiled slightly and said politely: "Ran Ran is fine. She is just tired from traveling and being frightened before. She has gone back to her yard to rest. She didn't come to see her. Please don't blame her."

Hearing this, Wei Ping breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't mind that his granddaughter, who was already half a royal, didn't come to pay his respects.

In Wei Ping's eyes, since his little granddaughter has joined the royal family, she should indeed uphold the dignity of the royal family and not be looked down upon by others. (End of chapter)
