Chapter 164 Reunion

No wonder Big Brother Wei's expression was so strange when he heard me say that the emperor was his "brother-in-law" just now. It turns out that they already knew that the concubine Degui in the palace was a fake.Then, did they also know that my body is Wei Lanxue?

"Mrs. Yun!" Ji Jingyun saw me trembling, and quickly supported me, "Madam, are you alright?"

"It's okay!" I stood up straight, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said calmly, "These things are so shocking, it's simply unimaginable."

Ji Jingyun looked at me with a complicated expression, and I gave him an ugly smile.But I heard Zhou Jingyun sneer and said: "If these things didn't happen to me, I would also find it incredible. The strange thing is that the man in black only confessed that I did such a thing, and it never happened again." I Bite your lips, of course he won't show up, he died more than a month later.

"Where did Wei Jinlan and his daughter go?" I stabilized my mood and deliberately tried.Zhou Jingyun snorted and said, "What good will happen to them if they fall into the hands of the enemy? Once the men in black have confirmed their identities, it would be strange if they didn't kill them immediately to vent their anger."

Yeah?Would the emperor think so?My heart beat wildly, should I be lucky, he just knew that the noble concubine in the palace was not Wei Lanxue, but that didn't mean that I was Wei Lanxue, maybe the emperor thought that Wei Lanxue was dead?However, the emperor already knows that Concubine De Gui is a fake, as soon as he interrogates, Concubine De Gui will tell the fact that I am Wei Lanxue in a short time, what should I do then?
Suddenly, he was in a state of confusion, and he didn't want to ask Zhou Jingyun any more questions, but Zhou Jingyun himself said that he was addicted, and muttered to himself: "For more than a year, I have been pretending to be Wei Xiang, going in and out of the court, so beautiful, thinking that I am good. The day finally came, I didn't expect that one day, she would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for me, I didn't recognize her at all at first, she was completely different from what I remembered, she became so old..."

I was stunned, and it took me a while to realize that the "she" he said was Aunt Zhou, and I couldn't help saying coldly, "What did you say to Aunt Zhou? Why did she commit suicide?"

"Me? I told her what I have been through these years. I said that it was hard for me to live such a good life, and I asked her not to destroy it. If she exposes me as a fake prime minister, I will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Decapitated..." He laughed wildly, tears streaming down his cheeks, "That stupid woman, she committed suicide when she went back, what a fool, she didn't even tell me that he gave birth to a son for me, that fool ..."

I couldn't listen any more, turned my head and left the cell.This is exactly the result I expected, but I just don't want to be reconciled, I want to hear him say it himself.I don't want to imagine what Aunt Zhou's mood was when she heard his words, and how she felt when she knew that her infatuation was not as good as the wealth and glory in the eyes of her lover?How did she feel when she decided to sacrifice herself to fulfill her lover?His hands clenched into fists, his nails digging into his palms.Silly woman, yes, what a silly woman!

Ji Jingyun followed me out, saw me clenched my lips, my face was extremely ugly, and said worriedly: "Mrs. Yun..."

"General, did Fusheng hear what he said?" I took a breath and asked softly.

Ji Jingyun was silent for a while, then nodded.I closed my eyes: "Understood. Thank you, General, and I will take my leave."

No wonder that child behaved like that. How much would Fusheng be hurt when he heard his father say such a thing?This Zhou Jingyun is absolutely damned!
After returning home, he carefully observed Fusheng's emotions, taking care not to mention Aunt Zhou and Zhou Jingyun in front of him.For what happened to him, I can't help at all. The sores in my heart can only be healed by time.To my surprise, Zhou Jingyun was not executed a few days later, but the emperor suddenly changed his mind and sentenced him to exile on the capital Nandao.After thinking about it carefully, I immediately understood the emperor's intention.It's good to lure the snake out of the hole. People outside don't know that this Wei Xiang is fake. The emperor may have reached some agreement with Zhou Jingyun to change his death sentence to exile. Perhaps it is to attract the forces that control Zhou Jingyun, because Zhou Jingyun himself I don't know who is the power that controls him.On the other hand, it can also make Concubine Feng, who had done bad things together with Wei Xiang, feel anxious. If she can't hold back and attack Wei Xiang, the emperor will definitely catch him.This emperor is really too powerful.

After the big brother of the Wei family pleaded guilty, the emperor let him go in the name of "benevolence, filial piety and gratitude to the heavens, the situation is justifiable, and he has not made a big mistake", to show the benevolence of the emperor.I can't help but sigh, the words of the emperor are really golden rules. The emperor wants one person to die and one person to live. He really wants to say whatever he wants. He does whatever he says. Who else dares to object?Who dares to push forward?Brother Wei visited me once after he was released from prison, and then disappeared from Beijing. I knew he must have been secretly investigating the forces behind Zhou Jingyun.Chu Shang is dead, what can he find out?But this is the key factor for him to be exonerated. I can't say anything myself. I only hint that his power may be related to the Promise Gate. As for whether he can comprehend it, I can't help him.

I was worried every day, worried that the emperor would ask me to question my teacher because of Wei Lanxue, but the emperor has never made any movement, and there was no news of Concubine Degui's conviction from the palace. I only know that she continues to be locked up in the cold palace.I couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, so I simply stopped thinking about it. Soldiers came to block her, and water came to cover her up. After all, the real Wei Lanxue was a victim from the beginning to the end of this matter. Why did the emperor make things difficult for her?As long as the emperor doesn't mention it for a day, I will pretend to be stupid for a day.

An Anxin raised her baby in the Hou's Mansion, drank the medicine Yi Shenwen prescribed for me every day, and asked Yu Dieer to go to Yi Shenwen to report my physical condition regularly.Yun Zheng's body has been sick all the time, but he is not as lethargic as some time ago. What makes me feel relieved is that the poison in him has not flared up earlier.It was only in the middle of the month that another routine examination was conducted, and I insisted on staying with him all night in the routine examination room. Seeing Yunzheng suffering from that inhuman pain again, I wished I could give birth to the baby immediately so that the Yun Zheng will suffer less, but it can't be done, if the baby is born now, the baby will be in danger.Whether it's Yunzheng or Baobao, I can't let them have an accident, because they are my dearest people in this world.

In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the month, and it will be New Year's Eve in two days, and the old man should be arriving in the capital soon.A few days ago, I received a letter from the old man, saying that he was going to come back before New Year's Eve for the New Year, and he also said that he would bring guests back. In the past few days, I have asked Yun Yi to wait for the old man's carriage outside the city every day.In modern times, I haven’t felt the atmosphere of Chinese New Year for many years. Even New Year’s Eve is no different from usual. I haven’t watched the Spring Festival Gala for a long time. On the New Year’s Eve, I still spend my time making jokes on the Internet.And this time and space will be busy with the year from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. The Hou Mansion must be cleaned thoroughly. The windows must be pasted with festive window grilles, the door must be pasted with blessings and Spring Festival couplets, and the eaves must be hung with round red flowers. Lanterns add festive atmosphere.Two days ago, the Kitchen God was sacrificed. These folk customs, which are almost no longer held in modern times, made me feel very fresh and interesting.

"Does it look good?" I put down the scissors and showed Yun Zheng the cut window grilles.This is what I learned from Ning Er and Xin Er in the past two days. I don't know how to cut too complicated patterns, I can only cut the simplest blessing characters, unlike their skillful hands, who can cut out "dragon and phoenix bring prosperity", " Peacock and peony", "five grains are plentiful", and "more than one year after year" are exquisite, beautiful and cumbersome patterns.But I was still very proud, and pasted the blessing characters I cut out all over Yunzheng and I's room.

"It looks good." Yun Zheng looked at me with a smile.I looked around the room with the window grilles, and said angrily: "Ah, there is no place to post them." Yun Zheng just smiled when he saw the blessing characters all over the room.I rolled my eyes and leaned closer to Yun Zheng: "Honey, I've made up my mind, so I'll post it here!"

I pressed the window grille to Yun Zheng's chest, and smiled triumphantly.Yun Zheng smiled helplessly: "Are you really going to stick it here?" I pressed the window grille and said with a smile: "Put it in the room and take it off when you go out. I don't want you to be laughed at by the servants."

Yun Zheng grabbed my hand with a smile, and while laughing, Ning Er ran in and said with a smile: "Young Master, Young Madam, Master Hou is back!"

The old man is here?Yun Zheng and I looked at each other, stood up quickly, straightened our clothes, and walked out the gate.Not far from the yard, I saw the old man striding over surrounded by Yunde Yunyi and the two accompanying children. Yun Zheng and I quickened our pace to meet him, and we waited to see the person behind the old man. , body paused, suddenly froze.

Yun Zheng sensed my strangeness, glanced at me, raised his eyes, was startled, but regained his senses in an instant, with a smile on his lips, he pulled me forward and saluted the old man: " The grandson has met the grandfather, and the grandfather has worked hard all the way!"

"It's okay, okay!" The old man smiled when he saw Yun Zheng, with a concerned expression on his face, "Ye girl told me before that your old problem has flared up again, how do you feel now?"

"It's okay to make grandfather worry." Yun Zheng shook his head with a smile, then turned his head and nodded to the man behind the old man, "Mr. An!"

The man bowed his body, his face still expressionless.The old man glanced at them, turned around and saw that I was still in a daze, and said with a smile, "Girl, why don't you call me Grandpa?"

"Ah?" I came back to my senses, quickly turned my gaze to the old man, and smiled, "Grandpa!"

The old man's eyes fell on my big belly, and he smiled from ear to ear: "Girl, you are really my Zheng'er's lucky star, grandpa will reward you well!"

I smiled awkwardly, and glanced at the man behind the old man uncomfortably, seeing that his handsome face was expressionless with drooping eyelids.At this moment, a little boy chased up from behind them and stood beside the man panting. Seeing me, he immediately closed his eyes with a smile, threw himself in front of me, and sweetly called out, "Sister Ye! I'm in the capital, so glad to see you!"

I hurriedly supported him, saw his face clearly, and smiled: "An Sheng, long time no see!"

The old man took a look at us and said with a smile: "Okay, don't stay here, let's talk in the house. Yuanxi, you come too!"

"An Sheng, let's go!" He called An Sheng and walked forward with the old man. I was stunned and still didn't react.How could An Yuanxi be with the old man?How could you come to the Hou Mansion with him?Could it be that he is the guest that the old man mentioned in the letter?Yunzheng held my hand, I turned my head, and he smiled at me: "Go in, my grandfather will definitely answer your questions." I smiled, let him hold my hand, and followed go.
