When Shu Yuwan entered, the atmosphere inside was tense.

When the Wei family father and daughter saw Shu Yuwan coming, they became even more angry. Wei Wushuang pointed at Shu Yuwan and said, "Brother Emperor, I have been preparing to marry you since I was a child. She is the legitimate daughter of the Wei family and my aunt's niece." , my aunt has loved me the most since I was very young. If my aunt were still here, she would never let me call such a second-married daughter a joke! "

"Wushuang really doesn't understand what the emperor's brother sees in her? What's so good about her!"

"It doesn't matter if Master Kong approves her life. A concubine is the blessing of her good life!"

When Wei Wushuang saw Shu Yuwan come in, he became even more excited and began to ignore what he said.

Not to mention Shu Yuwan, even Wei Guogong frowned and looked at his daughter. Although the reason was this, he couldn't say it, let alone the current situation...

Shu Yuwan raised her eyebrows lightly and looked at the emperor.

The emperor had lost his initial anger and looked at Wei Wushuang with a very calm expression.

Wei Guogong hurriedly begged for mercy: "I beg the emperor, for the sake of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, please don't blame Wu Shuang for talking nonsense."

The emperor smiled gently and said, "My uncle also wants to speak out about the queen. The queen is very useful to the Wei family, right? Being a queen during her lifetime will bring glory to the Wei family, and she will still be able to do so after her death."

The emperor's eyes were like arrows, and he looked at Duke Wei: "But uncle, do you really care about this sister?"

Duke Wei's face turned pale.

He insisted: "The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian is my biological sister, how can I not care about her?"

The emperor nodded: "Uncle naturally cares."

Hearing this, Wei Wushuang, who had always been confident, began to become nervous.

Although the Wei family has the title of Duke, since the Wei family has always been a centrist, they have always waited for the overall situation to be settled before expressing their attitude. This is the ancestral precept to ensure that the family inheritance is immortal.

In addition, in recent years, there have been no very promising children in the family.

He truly became the most prominent aristocrat in Beijing after his aunt became the queen. The emperor fell in love with his aunt and also valued the Wei family very much.

Back then, my aunt had a conflict with the Supreme Emperor and returned to the Wei family, saying that she no longer wanted to be the queen. She was severely reprimanded by her grandfather in private and sent back to the palace without saying a word.

Many of the people that my aunt brought into the palace were die-hard loyalists of the Wei family and were not loyal to my aunt. When she was very young, her grandparents taught her that she should be a supporter of the family like her aunt, but she must not imitate her aunt's naivety.

When his father took over the Wei family, he still used the people around his aunt to learn about the news in the palace so that he could make decisions that were beneficial to the Wei family.

She knows all this...

but,

Isn't this what a legitimate daughter of a family should do? As a legitimate daughter of a well-established family, she naturally has to shoulder the important responsibility of the family's prosperity for generations!

Wei Wushuang said: "Brother Emperor, no matter what, the Wei family hopes that my aunt will be well, right?"

The emperor's voice seemed to be wrapped in ice: "Including killing the queen mother?"

Wei Wushuang trembled: "How is that possible!"

Shu Yuwan couldn't help but look sideways, and looked at the emperor in surprise. Seeing the emperor's serious expression, he then looked at Wei Guogong. After Wei Wushuang was stunned, he also looked at his father.

Wei Guogong's face changed slightly for a moment, and he quickly adjusted himself. As if he had been greatly wronged, he shouted: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about! How could my Wei family kill the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian? This pair What are the benefits of the Wei family? Are you confused?"

Wei Wushuang said anxiously: "Yes, Brother Emperor, are you mistaken? How is this possible?"

The emperor's face was calm, and he looked at the father and daughter and said: "This memorial says that in the fifth year after the mother entered the palace, the mother returned to the Duke of Wei because of the rift between Concubine Yao and her father. However, one day later, the mother returned to the palace. With the help of everyone in the Duke of Wei's palace, she returned to the palace. Soon after returning to the palace, the concubine began to feel ill, and within a year, she died of illness. "

"The confession of the nun in the mother's harem said that after the Queen Mother Xiaoxian returned to the palace, she was in a bad mood all day long. The Duke's wife at that time often visited the palace. She felt very sorry for the mother and often gave her medicine in person. The Queen Mother Xiaoxian took it obediently. The Duke’s wife is still crying with heartache.”

The emperor's voice was low: "Uncle, can you tell me what happened that day?"

The emperor was still young back then, so he no longer remembers many things, but he still remembers that on the last side, the queen mother often said, 'Only when you go back can you be free! ’

While lingering on the sickbed, I often looked at him, as if reluctant to leave.

Now, he finally knew where his mother was going back...

Wei Guogong calmed down and said: "It's just common comfort and relief. I advise Empress Dowager Xiaoxian to think more about the emperor and understand the difficulty of the emperor at that time. How can the emperor guess that the Wei family forced Empress Dowager Xiaoxian to death!" "

Seeing that Wei Guogong did not show any guilt or regret, the emperor felt that his mother was not worth it.

The emperor said: "Then my uncle will explain that with the help of his mother and concubine, he placed spies in the palace. Over the years, he has used these people to find out the news in the palace. What is his plan?"

The matter was irrefutable, and Duke Wei simply confessed: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I was just too worried about the situation that Empress Dowager Xiaoxian was in the palace, and that's why I made this move."

The emperor was too lazy to quarrel with the Duke of Wei anymore, and said directly in a cold voice: "The Duke of Wei's mansion probed into royal secrets and offended the Xiaoxian Empress Dowager. I feel that the whole family should be executed!"

"Uncle, what do you think?"

Wei Wushuang seemed to be frozen by ice for an instant.

Duke Wei's face turned pale.

The Emperor continued to say leisurely: "Or, uncle, think about it again, what happened on that day?"

At this time, Duke Wei suddenly realized that the Emperor's treatment of Duke Wei's mansion was no longer the same as before.

Dejectedly, he said: "That day..."
