The result of Xiao Xieyi's disposal of Lu Ruolan and the Lu family was announced the next day.Lu Ruolan bestowed three zhangs of white silk, and Lu Jiafan's sons over five years old were executed, the youngest sons were exiled for three thousand miles, and women were enslaved as officials, and were not allowed to be redeemed.The only exception is the old lady of the Lu family. Although she was deprived of her imperial order, she was not convicted. Feng Xiang immediately took the old lady in after the Lu family was ransacked, and settled in another house.It's just that Mrs. Lu was getting old, and after this blow, she soon became seriously ill and passed away not long after.

After learning about Xiao Xieyi's treatment of the Lu family, the Empress Dowager sighed lightly. After all, Xiao Xieyi's heart softened.If such a serious crime as killing the king is accomplished, the nine clans will be lightly punished. Even if it fails, the three clans will not be able to escape. However, Xiao Xieyi only punished the Lu family itself, Lu Ruolan's mother clan, and the Lu family's family members. The married women were not implicated, and even the old lady Lu was pardoned by him. Anyone could see why, and it was not because of Feng Qi, his mother, or the daughter of the Lu family.

Of course, the Empress Dowager did not express a different opinion on this matter. What she thought more was that the Lu family had completely collapsed, and Xiao Qiuyan would have nothing to rely on. This way, it would be easier for Gu Wei to bring him over and raise him up. Because the only one he can rely on in the future is the Gu family.

It's a pity that the empress dowager mentioned it twice, but Gu Wei didn't move. Not only did he not send anyone to pick up Su Yu, but he accompanied Yuan Yang every day, eating, drinking, sleeping and playing with him, which was better than a nanny. Due diligence, the empress dowager shook her head, but she was just a girl, why should she be like this.

Yin Jieyu was also involved in the matter of Xiao Xiange and Lu Ruolan laying a Gu on Xiao Xiyi, if she hadn't managed to scratch Yuan Yang's arm and provided the blood Gu, Master Liaochen wouldn't have been so troublesome when he undid the Gu.Because Yin Jieyu didn't know the inside story, Gu Wei couldn't bear Yuanyang's loss of his birth mother at a young age, so he didn't attack her directly, but transferred Yin Jieyu out of Kunning Palace and let her go to Zhongcui Palace alone He lived in the side hall, and added a maid who served him personally.

Zhongcui Palace used to be Lu Zhaoyi's residence. Since Lu Yingying was thrown into the cold palace, Xiao Xieyi has never set foot there again. If Yin Jieyu goes, except that the environment is better than that of Lu Yingying in Yongxiang, the rest may be in the cold palace. There is no difference.Yin Jieyu naturally didn't want to go, she stayed in Kunning Palace, she could see her daughter every day, and occasionally the emperor, but when she went to Zhongcui Palace, she would have nothing left, but Gu Wei said, if she is obedient In the future, Yuanyang will take care of her when she gets married, otherwise, it's out of the question.

Yin Jieyu was born as a court lady, she had no background and was not favored, her only hope was to give birth to Princess Yuanyang who would be well liked by the empress.Some time ago, Xiao Xieyi said that Yuanyang's jade plate was going to be changed to Gu Wei's name, and Yin Jieyu was both happy and sad when she heard that.The happy thing is that Yuan Yang has been the first princess from now on, and her identity is among the sisters, and she is a head above everyone else; the sad thing is that once the jade plate is changed, her Yuan Yang will no longer be her daughter. She can't even say a mother.

Gu Wei is not someone who promises easily, but as long as it is what he said, there is no time to go back on it. When Yin Jieyu heard him say that Yuan Yang would not ignore her in the future, she felt at ease. She kowtowed to Gu Wei Thanks for your kindness, I packed my bags and went to Zhongcui Palace.

It was easy for Yin Jieyu to leave, but Yuan Yang suddenly disappeared and wanted to find her biological mother. Seeing her crying sadly, Gu Wei put down everything else and stayed with her every day.After all, Yuan Yang was young, and his relationship with Gu Wei had always been good. After a few days, he stopped looking for Yin Jieyu.

On this day, Gu Wei was playing in Huaqing Pool with Yuan Yang. The Empress Dowager came to Kunning Palace in person. She told Gu Wei to quickly pick up Xiao Qiuyan because she got the news that Xiao Xieyi wanted Wei Qing'er raised Xiao Qiuyan and took her to Kunyang Mountain.

Gu Wei hurriedly changed her clothes, and came out to meet the Empress Dowager with Yuan Yang in her arms, "Grandmother, my grandson thinks that the emperor's decision is good." The Wei family itself has no rights, Wei Qing'er raised Xiao Qiuyan, which is actually very good.

"What's the matter!" The empress dowager slapped the table angrily, "Ah Wei, can't you see who the emperor is paving the way for?"

"Grandmother, calm down." Gu Wei clearly felt that Yuan Yang in his arms trembled suddenly. He patted Yuan Yang's back lightly, and said softly: "In my humble opinion, the eldest prince's biological mother committed a crime." It is the emperor's kindness to let him grow up away from the court for the crime of regicide."

The Empress Dowager saw that Gu Wei insisted on her own opinion, and she couldn't help saying angrily: "Ah Wei, aren't you afraid that the emperor will give the whole world to the Feng family?"

Back then, the former emperor favored Yao Guijun and wanted to make his sixth prince the crown prince. Why did the empress dowager object? In terms of background, Yao Guijun is much higher than Wei Shuxun, and Xiao Rongya's talent does not seem to be better than Xiao Rongya's. It is true that Xiyi and Xiao Xiange are low, and Li Chu Li is "expensive".What the empress dowager was afraid of was that the former emperor was too partial to Yao Guijun. Once his son ascended the throne in the future, the Yao family would become popular in the court and would threaten the status of the Gu family.

Nowadays, although Xiao Xieyi's love for Feng Qi is not as good as the former emperor's exclusive love for Yao Guijun, it is not far behind.A few years ago, when Feng Qi first entered the palace, although Xiao Xieyi refused to recruit newcomers, she would visit the old ones every month anyway, but this year, except for two days a month Going through the motions in Kunning Palace, Xiao Xiyi stayed in Qifeng Palace every night, even if Feng Qi was pregnant and couldn't sleep with him, he would not go to the bedroom of other concubines or emperor servants.

The Empress Dowager saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. Looking at it from Feng Qi's posture, it was clear that she was the second Yao Guijun.What's more, the situation in the dynasty during the time of the first emperor was completely different from what it is now.First of all, although the Yao family is also a noble family, but before Yao Guijun, no one in the family was an official. After Yao Guijun entered the palace, his father, brother and uncle were also officials who were awarded by the former emperor for the sake of Yao Guijun.At that time, the Gu family was in full swing. Even though the late emperor would get into trouble with the empress dowager from time to time, he had a lot of trust in Gu, and he was like brothers with Gu Junqian and Gu Juncheng. The Yao family was in power. , it is impossible to threaten the Gu family, otherwise, the empress dowager would not compromise.

The Feng family is different now, Feng Xiang is already the Minister of the Household Department, and he is the youngest among the six ministers, he was born as the No.Feng Xiang's younger sister, Feng Wu, married Xiao Ren, the king of Handan. Xiao Ren held a heavy army and was stationed in the northwest all the year round. His status among generals was second to none. There were also Feng Qi's two younger brothers. Li is the grandson of the British government, but also a force that should not be underestimated.

Looking back at the Gu family, although Gu Junqian and Gu Juncheng are of high status and each holds important positions, Gu is a cautious person. At the beginning, he chose his daughter-in-law based on a simple and innocent family background. Mrs. Gu's wife, Mrs. Xu, is still from a famous family. It's a pity After Xu Ziqi's incident, the entire Xu family was taken down. Gu's second wife, Fan Shi, was a famous calligrapher and painter in the family, but none of them became official. The Gu family's in-laws were not at the same level as the Feng family.

Besides, the descendants of the Gu family, Mr. Gu's disciples are all over the world. If the third generation of the Gu family can produce someone who can read, these connections can be followed. Gu Ao abandoned his pen and joined the army, Gu Wei entered the palace due to poor health, and This Gu Zheng was completely abandoned by the second wife of Gu. When Gu Ze left, the status of the Gu family in the court would definitely not be as good as before.One ebbs and another, the Empress Dowager is understandably worried, but Gu Wei is tepid, she doesn't know what to say.

"Imperial Grandmother be careful." Gu Wei's face was calm, but his tone became more serious, "The world will always belong to the Xiao family." No matter which prince Xiao Xieyi wants to appoint as the prince, they are all the princes of the Xiao family. No surname Feng, let alone Gu.

Pausing for a moment, Gu Wei said again: "Before returning to the palace this time, my grandfather once told me that neither the emperor's grandmother nor I belong to the Gu family. What the future of the Gu family is, he has his own ideas, so we don't need to worry about it. It's the Xiao family's business."

The empress dowager was so angry that she couldn't speak, she wanted to scold Gu Wei, but she couldn't say anything, what Gu Wei said was what Gu Ze meant, and all the glory of the Gu family was due to Gu Ze, Even the Empress Dowager is today because of having such a capable younger brother.

Yuan Yang huddled in Gu Wei's arms, not daring to make a sound. Seeing that he and the Empress Dowager were silent, and the Fengyi Palace was eerily quiet, he carefully broke away from Gu Wei, and ran to the side to serve it to him. A glass of warm water came over, "Queen, drink water."

Gu Wei took the cup, swallowed his mouth lightly and said, "Grandmother, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. The emperor is no longer a child. He knows what he wants to do." I'm sure you won't be happy if you point and point at things.

Seeing that Gu Wei had made up her mind, the Empress Dowager stopped persuading him, and after sitting for a while, she angrily led them away.Sending off the Empress Dowager respectfully to leave the palace, Yuan Yang asked Gu Wei: "The empress, what does the great-grandmother mean, do you want the empress to take over Brother Qiuyan as well?"

Gu Wei nodded, smiled and teased Yuan Yang and said, "Does Yun'er want my younger brother to come over?" A prince is no different than a princess. Whether he is raised under the queen's name has completely different meanings. No matter what the empress dowager says, Gu Wei will not raise him Xiao Qiuyan's, otherwise, the Gu family would be completely involved in the position reserve battle. They won, but going one step further, if they lost, they would be doomed. There was no need for them to do this.

Yuan Yang tilted his head and thought for a while, then whispered: "Your brother can come and play, but Yun'er doesn't want him to stay forever."

"Why?" Gu Wei continued to ask, kissing Yuan Yang's cheek.When he got rid of Yin Jieyu, he had thought about it. In the future, he would treat Yuanyang as his own daughter and love her, instead of letting people take care of her just out of the queen's duty as before.

Yuan Yang bulged his cheeks in embarrassment, and said innocently: "Yun'er is afraid that the queen will like her younger brother, so she doesn't like Yun'er anymore."

Gu Wei hugged her tightly, and said repeatedly: "No, there will be no younger brother, only Yun'er is the queen mother."

It has been more than a month since the attack on the way back to the palace, and Gu Wei still can't remember anything. Everything he knows now was told to him by others, not to mention the authenticity, no matter what happened, what he experienced and what happened It was told by someone else that the feeling was completely different. Gu Wei felt that what he was looking at now was like a cover, visible but intangible. Only Yuan Yang, the child's heart is the most innocent, she treats him That's good, he really felt it, just because of this, Gu Wei would never want Xiao Qiuyan again.

Since Lu Ruolan was thrown into the cold palace, Xiao Qiuyan was taken to Changxin Palace. Su Yu treated him coldly, neither good nor bad.In short, he will not lack the treatment that a prince should have, and he will not give away the care that other children need.

Changing to a strange place, Xiao Qiuyan was afraid, and at the same time thinking about Lu Ruolan, she ran out once and went to Qifeng Palace.Feng Qi was very kind to him, and even told him stories to lull him to sleep, but when Xiao Qiuyan woke up, she found that she had returned to Changxin Palace.

Su Yu obviously also knew about Xiao Qiuyan's sneaking away. He didn't blame him, but scolded the nanny and the nanny who were serving him, saying that there were so many of them, and they couldn't look down on a four-year-old child. For the same mistake, he will be punished heavily.

So, Xiao Qiuyan found that no matter what time, there are more people around her, just like in Yonghe Palace before, but even if no one followed him, he would not run away anymore, because he knew that Feng Qi would not leave his.

One day, Xiao Qiuyan got up to greet Su Yu, then sat alone in the yard in a daze, not knowing what to do.

When Wei Lang was ordered to come to Changxin Palace, the first thing he saw was Xiao Qiuyan's small figure, but he saw four maids and eunuchs watching from afar in the corridor next to him, so he didn't say much, and asked to see Jin Shi directly. His task is to pick up people and say goodbye by the way, so he has no time to do anything else.

The little eunuch went in to send a message, and soon came out to say that Jin Shi is welcome, and Vice Commander Wei, please go with him.

Xiao Qiuyan has been playing in the yard every day these days. He even counted the number of ant nests under the tree, and helped several ants move their houses. It is rare to see outsiders coming today. Lang glanced at him, but Wei Lang ignored him.

Wei Lang followed the little eunuch into the main hall of Changxin Palace, and Xiao Qiuyan stopped playing in the courtyard. He stood up, patted his buttocks, and ran to the backyard. The maids and eunuchs who followed him saw that he was running inside, and I didn't follow too closely, as long as people didn't get lost.

Xiao Qiuyan entered the main hall through the back door, hid behind the screen and listened to Su Yu and Wei Lang talking.Xiao Qiuyan actually didn't dislike Su Yu. Although he was cold and not talkative, he had a pretty face. When he smiled, he was very pretty. Xiao Qiuyan liked to see him smile the most.

"Why are you here?" Su Yu seemed surprised by Wei Lang's arrival, and asked urgently.

"I am following the orders of Concubine Yi to pick up the eldest prince and go to Weiyang Palace." Empress Dowager Wei was coaxed by Xiao Xiange to participate in the witchcraft matter, Wei Qing'er and Wei Lang were implicated, and Wei Qing'er followed to Kunyang Mountain Chanting Buddha, Wei Lang is responsible for protecting them.

Su Yu has never cared about the affairs of the palace. Xiao Xiyi was bewitched by others, and he only found out afterwards, and then Xiao Qiuyan was stuffed into his palace. A child to relieve boredom, but I don't want to be prepared for Wei Qing'er.

"After all, she is a close cousin. The emperor should be more considerate of Concubine Yi, and it should be." Going to Kunyang Mountain to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha is hard, but when Xiao Qiuyan grows up, Xiao Xieyi will always crown him king. With relying on, we will not be lonely for a lifetime.

Wei Lang lowered his head and said nothing for a while, "Your Highness is young and beautiful, as long as you have the heart, there will always be an heir." Su Yu's beauty is second to none in the harem, and Xiao Xieyi often visited his palace in the early years However, his attitude was too cold and cold. Xiao Xieyi had no tendency to be abused, so he didn't come here much after a few times. Otherwise, Su Yu's position could not have remained as a "servant" of the third rank.

"Even you think so?" People in the palace have always said that Su Yu is pretending to be noble, but his beauty can't keep the emperor's heart. Su Yu doesn't care, anyway, his heart has never been on Xiao Xieyi's body. It's exactly what he wants if he doesn't bother him.

However, even Wei Lang said that, Su Yu couldn't accept it, didn't he know what his intentions were.

"Your Highness always thinks about himself," Wei Lang forced himself not to look at Su Yu, "Isn't the lesson learned by Empress Dowager Su enough?"

"My aunt and I are different." Su Yu murmured, the Empress Dowager Su was not nice to people, and the former emperor treated her as if she didn't exist, what could she do.

But he is different, Su Yu dare not say that he can snatch Feng Qi, but as long as he is willing to work hard, he can at least snatch Lu Ruolan and Wei Qinger before Feng Qi enters the palace, but he is not willing to do that. .Su Yu's heart was given to the wrong person at the wrong time.

"It's not the same. The Queen Mother Su is the Queen Mother. No matter which prince was enthroned back then, she is still a stable mother and queen mother, and you are just a servant in the emperor's palace. You are not even as good as the Queen Mother Su." Wei Lang He has never been willing to speak harshly to Su Yu, but this time is different, he is about to leave, and it is very likely that he will never return to the capital for the rest of his life. He cannot let Su Yu live alone with unrealistic fantasies. The rest of my life.

Su Yu raised his head in surprise, stared blankly at Wei Lang, speechless for a long time.Wei Lang didn't dare to stay for long, so he hurriedly asked him where Xiao Qiuyan was.

Xiao Qiuyan didn't understand much of the conversation between Wei Lang and Su Yu, but he understood Wei Lang's intention to take him away. As long as it wasn't for Lu Ruolan, Xiao Qiuyan didn't care who he followed. He went back the same way. I felt a little inexplicably sad in my heart.

Not long after Xiao Qiuyan sat down, Su Yu sent someone to pick him up, Xiao Qiuyan didn't struggle, and was carried away by Wei Lang honestly.After walking some distance from Changxin Palace, Xiao Qiuyan suddenly said in Wei Lang's ear, "I saw Jin Shi crying." Wei Lang was stunned for a moment, then quickened his pace.

In Weiyang Palace, Wei Qinger was in a good mood looking at the packed luggage of the palace servants. She is not the Empress Dowager Wei, she has no one to worry about in the capital, and she will not cry and make a fuss about not leaving. This palace is for her. In other words, there isn't much to miss.

The concubines and servants in the palace are Yin Jieyu, who has the lowest family background. In fact, when she was a child, her life was better than that of Wei Qinger.Those days of suffering in the Zhao family, when Wei Qing'er thinks about it today, it seems as far away as the events of her previous life.

In Wanchang's seven-year draft, the Su family and the Luo family sent people into the palace to maintain the family's honor and favor, but the Wei family did not do it for such a purpose, even though she is the niece of the Queen Mother Wei.Empress Dowager Wei and Madam Wei were harshly treated by their stepmother since they were young. When Empress Dowager Wei became empress dowager, she only let Xiao Xieyi give Madam Wei an order. To the Wei family itself, they were only rewarded with gold and silver, and had no official position. It doesn't matter whether the Wei family sends people into the palace or not.

The real reason why Empress Dowager Wei let Wei Qing'er into the palace was because she couldn't get married.Of course, the so-called inability to marry does not mean that no one wants to marry Wei Qing'er, but that the family that the Queen Mother Wei likes doesn't like Wei Qing'er's background, let alone her right leg is still lame, and she is willing to marry Wei Qing'er. Qing'er's people, the Empress Dowager Wei looked down on their backgrounds.Mrs. Wei and her husband's family have severed their friendship, and Wei Lang and Wei Qing'er have also severed ties with their father's family. Wei Lang is a man, the emperor's cousin. As long as he is successful and famous, there is no need to worry about marriage. There is no nobleman who does not dislike her origin.

Finally, Empress Dowager Wei made a decision, don't forget about our girls, I asked the emperor to take her in, and I love her myself.That is to say, Empress Dowager Wei is Xiao Xiyi's biological mother, otherwise Wei Qing'er's condition, even entering the palace, would not be qualified. Fortunately, Xiao Xieyi is filial to Empress Dowager Wei, and for her sake, she is very good to Wei Qing'er. Status, from entering the palace, is below one person and above everyone else.

Wei Qing'er once had children, almost at the same time as Yin Jieyu and Lu Ruolan, but all of their children were born safely, but hers disappeared inexplicably, and the imperial doctors couldn't explain the reason. After that, Wei Qing'er never got pregnant again.

Two days ago, Xiao Xieyi told her to give Lu Ruolan's Xiao Qiuyan to him. What Wei Qing'er thought at the time was that Xiao Qiuyan called her mother, and that Lu Ruolan would be pissed to death when she was alive, and she would be cheated by rage when she was dead. God, it feels different again, she can finally have a son.

Therefore, Wei Lang brought Xiao Qiuyan here, and Wei Qinger was very happy, everything was prepared for food and use, and everything was the best, no worse than when Lu Ruolan was with Xiao Qiuyan, she really wanted this son.

"Have you told Su Yu?" Wei Qing'er hugged Xiao Qiuyan and asked casually.She knows the relationship between Wei Lang and Su Yu better than anyone else. She has been terrified for several years, but now that she is about to be relieved, she needs to be more at ease.

Wei Lang nodded, "Don't worry, we haven't done what we shouldn't do." If he could have seen Su Yu earlier, he would have prevented him from entering the palace, but it was too late, the first time he saw Su Yu When he was there, he was already Su Xiuyi.

Wei Qing'er didn't say much anymore, hugging Xiao Qiuyan and kissing her from time to time, Xiao Qiuyan shy away embarrassedly.She was about to leave, and she didn't want to take care of the affairs of the palace anymore. She was able to raise Xiao Qiuyan in a safe place, and her life was not in vain.

The next day, the Empress Dowager sent someone to Weiyang Palace to deliver an order, saying that she would take Xiao Qiuyan to the Palace of Compassion.Wei Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and then hugged Xiao Qiuyan tightly, it's impossible, Xiao Xieyi couldn't go back on what she said, it's the Empress Dowager, she's the one who wants to rob her of her son.

The people around Wei Qing'er were all planning to take them to Kunyang Mountain, so they were all confidantes. When they saw that something was wrong, some people immediately ran to Qian'an Palace, preparing to send a message to Xiao Xieyi. take away.
