Chapter 178
Wei Zixuan was also walking and chatting with a few family members, and suddenly found that her sister had disappeared. She was worried that the palace was too big and Zijin was lost, so she hurried back to look for it, only to see Wei Zijin standing where she was, with a bad expression on her face, and hurried away Asked with concern to her side.

Wei Zijin slowly raised his eyes to look at Wei Zixuan, and after a long silence, he sorted out the messy thoughts in his mind, and said with a nonchalant smile: "I just thought the scenery here is good, so I stayed for a while..."

Although she was smiling, the smile was a bit forced.

Wei Zixuan also felt that her younger sister was not in a good mood, thinking that she was tired, so she patted her arm and nodded with a smile: "The scenery in the palace is naturally good, if you are interested in the future, when there is another banquet in the palace, Sister will take you for a stroll!"

Wei Zijin answered absent-mindedly. In fact, she had already memorized every scene in the palace... and the point she wanted to say was not here!
"Sister, I chatted with Mrs. Fan for a while, about the former Empress Li..." Wei Zijin said slowly, with a slightly hesitant tone.

Dr. Guanglu's wife, Wang Shangrou, would not say that suddenly. She believes that Wei Zixuan, as the prime minister's wife, must know something inside!
Wei Zixuan heard her mention the deposed empress Li Shi, subconsciously glanced around, saw that no eunuchs and maids came, and then replied in a low voice: "Those things have already passed, it's better not to talk nonsense! "

"The Li family has been abolished. Did the emperor deal with the Li family? Li's father, Chen Guogong, what happened to him?" Wei Zijin asked casually, not wanting Wei Zixuan to notice anything wrong!
"Since the emperor made up his mind to deal with Empress Li, how can he tolerate the Li family?" Wei Zixuan shook her head and sighed, remembering that the Li family clan, which had been in power for a while, collapsed in such an instant, she couldn't help feeling sorry for them.

"It's a long story. Not long after Empress Li's death, someone impeached Chen Guogong, saying that he was colluding with foreign enemies, playing tricks, plotting wrongdoing, and even presented a lot of evidence..."

"And then?" Wei Zijin's face was pale, and he secretly clenched his fists, feeling as if his throat was being tightly squeezed, he couldn't breathe, and asked with difficulty.

"The emperor was so angry that he ordered people to thoroughly investigate Chen Guogong. As expected, evidence was found in Chen Guogong's mansion, and Chen Guogong was thrown into prison... To show his loyalty, Chen Guogong committed suicide in prison and left a blood letter. Later, the emperor was also moved, and ordered Chen Guogong to be buried generously, saying that there would be no further investigation!"

What Wei Zixuan said later, Wei Zijin could no longer listen to it, and the words "Chen Guogong committed suicide in prison to show his loyalty" echoed in his ears!
She committed suicide in prison... Sure enough, her generous and loyal father still couldn't avoid the same fate as her!

She should have guessed it a long time ago. Since Xiao Heng was able to force her to death ruthlessly, why wouldn't he be so ruthless in forcing her father to death? !
Poor her elderly father, after experiencing the blow of her first death, he will still be slandered by conspiracy and thrown into prison!
Father was an extremely staunch person, how could he endure such suspicion and slander in his later years when he helped Xiao Heng conquer this country? !
So in the end, he chose to show his loyalty by death!

No wonder Wang Shangrou said such words in a sad tone!
