Chapter 29: Prince Rui's scheming

"It's interesting to go to the suburbs to live in this time."

The corners of Wei Defei's mouth rose slightly, and she was in a happy mood.

Jin He was worried, "Empress, aren't you worried about the prince causing trouble in secret?"

"Methods? How big a storm can Ye Chen, the waste prince, cause? I have asked King Rui to spread rumors to the outside world. On the second day of King Rui's wedding, Wei Feng left Beijing to go out for business. This matter has spread long ago, and everyone thinks that Wei Feng has left Kyoto."

Concubine Wei De's lips sneered, and then said, "Besides, after Queen Duan's death, Ye Chen had no mother's family to rely on. The court was even more powerless. Who could believe what he said?"

"Ye Chen is not stupid either. He also knows that Kyoto is not peaceful now, and he has no weight. He is afraid that he will be taken in, so he ran out of Kyoto in shame. Meimingshi made an appointment to stay outside the village for a while. He looked so useless that he learned from Empress Duan's fullest."

"It's good that way. Since Ye Chen shows weakness to me, I will let him live a peaceful life first. When Wei Feng's affairs come to an end, I will pull him down from the position of crown prince!"

Concubine Wei squinted her eyes, and what she and Jin He said were all the words that were heart-wrenching.

As soon as King Rui Ye Heng sent the message to Concubine Wei De, Wei Xiao brought people to the mansion.

Wei Xiao’s identity is in the Rui Palace. He does not need to be informed and can enter and exit freely.

I saw that Wei Xiao was very different from when he first came yesterday. Wei Xiao brought his sword into the study. Ji Ningjun frowned and was a little unhappy when he saw this.

Seeing this, Wei Xiao was a little confused, "Why did you look annoyed when you see me today? But what did I do and inadvertently anger Ji Ningjun?"

Ji Ningjun was about to reply, but was snatched by King Rui Ye Heng, "Cousin Xiao, don't be angry. Since an accident occurred in the royal palace, his mother ordered the guests of Prince Rui's Mansion not to bring swords and go in and out of my study to prevent accidents. Ji Ningjun felt unhappy when he saw Cousin Xiao coming in with a sword."

When Wei Xiao heard this, he hurriedly clasped his fists and apologized: "It was my rudeness. I don't know that the prince's study has such rules, so please forgive me."

As he said that, he wanted to take off his sword from his waist.

King Rui Ye Heng waved his hand, "This rule is only for outsiders. Cousin Xiao doesn't have to stick to this. You and I are all a family, and there are not so many etiquettes."

Wei Xiao felt warm in his heart, and Wei Xiao saw his goodwill. His attitude towards King Rui Ye Heng became closer.

So when he spoke, his tone became respectful, "I wonder what should I ask for my order to call me to the palace? I am still investigating Wei Feng's death, and no suspicious people have appeared for the time being."

While asking, Wei Xiao answered his investigation results for the past two days.

King Rui Yeheng leaned forward slightly, his eyes were unclear, as if he was looking at Wei Xiao, "I heard that in order to investigate the cause of Wei Feng's death, you offered Chen Chuhe, the newly appointed Right Minister of the Ministry of Justice, to meet tomorrow?"

Cang Luo, the former minister of the Ministry of Justice, performed well in the Qi Yan case, and Emperor Yan promoted him to the position of Shangshu.

Shangshu is the head of the Ministry of Justice, and he is in charge of the Censorate and Dali Temple.

Chen Chuhe was one of the ministers who secretly followed King Rui.

"Chen Chuhe is my father's classmate and friend. This time I made an appointment, I invited him in my name. I made an appointment with him for a while. I asked Lord Chen to come out tomorrow. I just wanted to check files like my second brother in Dali Temple. According to previous files, there should be other clues to find."

Wei Xiao explained.

"I see."

King Rui Ye Heng knew it in his heart.

Although Wei Feng's death, his mother concubine Wei Deshi signaled to appease Wei Xiao and the Wei family behind him. Then, in fact, King Rui Ye Heng could not believe Wei Xiao 100%.

The Wei family was exposed for the perjury of Wei Wanyi's attempt to frame Qi Yan. Emperor Yan took his anger on the Wei family and directly seized the reputation of the Wei family's men, and was not allowed to participate in the scientific examination for three years.

Rui Wang Ye Heng grew up in the palace since he was a child. He has only met Wei Xiao a few times over the years, and he knows that the future successor of the Wei family is Wei Xiao.

I heard that Wei Xiao is a man of both civil and military affairs, but unfortunately, King Rui Ye Heng did not understand Wei Xiao's character, and he was usually closer to Wei Feng, the Emperor of Jingdi.

After obtaining Ye Heng's consent, Wei Xiao expressed that he would do anything to find the woman who was so popular with Wei Feng that day. Wei Xiao left Prince Rui's Mansion again with determination.

As soon as Wei Xiao left, Ji Ningjun watched his departure. After he could not hear the footsteps, he finally asked, "Prince, are you guarding against Wei Xiao? I have been following you for so long, and I understand your temper and character. You have never liked others to bring weapons into and out of the study. Why has this rule become only targeted by outsiders?"

Seeing Ji Ningjun's confused expression, King Rui Ye Heng smiled, "You don't know anything. My mother asked me to comfort the Wei family, and this Wei Xiao is the only bridge between me and the Wei family."

"If you don't look at Wei Xiao differently and leave a good impression on him, how can you expect him to say good things to the Wei family in the future? After all, Wei Feng died in the Rui Palace. No matter what result is found in the end, I cannot escape the lack of strict control of the palace, which gives the murderer the opportunity to take the blame."

The explanation of King Rui Ye Heng also made Ji Ningjun understand.

However, Concubine Wei De only said that King Rui Ye Heng would appease the Wei family and please Wei Xiao, but never told Ye Heng that he would control the entire Wei family in his hands!

Ji Ningjun suddenly felt that Prince Rui in front of him became familiar and unfamiliar.

On the other side, Qi Yan and Ye Chen left Yanjing and arrived at the manor in the suburbs in less than half a day.

Qi Run and Du Ying arrived a quarter of an hour ago. After everyone met, the four of them also chatted about family matters.

Ye Chen's eyes were still covered with white gauze.

In addition, on weekdays, he is taciturn in front of others.

Qi Run is cold-hearted and doesn't like to talk about family matters.

The result was that Qi Yan and Du Ying held hands and chatted with each other. Ye Chen and Qi Run stood and sat quietly, silently accompanying each other.

After Qi Yan and Du Ying chatted for a few words, the topic shifted to Qi Run's leg scramble.

Speaking of Qi Run's legs, Qi Yan's face was serious, "I have consulted the witch doctor for my cousin's legs, but the witch doctor is not happy, so I made an appointment to come to treat my cousin every night."

"Sister-in-law, remember, after nightfall, don't go out of the room easily, so as not to hit the witch doctor. If the witch doctor finds that there are too many people in the room, he will probably turn around and leave directly."

"The witch doctor said that the time for the cousin to heal is forty-nine days, and it is not interrupted every night."

"In the days to come, with daily maintenance and persistence, my cousin will be able to recover as well as before."

Under Qi Yan's explanation, Du Ying nodded repeatedly when she listened, "Okay. After nightfall, I will definitely stay in my room without going out. It's just a matter of time to make some new clothes, shoes and socks for my husband and grandfather."
