Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 97
Su Xi's head buzzed, as if her strength had been drained suddenly, she couldn't even stand still.She staggered, shook her head, and refused to believe Ting Yan's words, "No, I asked Li Hong to tell him...he will be fine."

Having said that, the teardrops couldn't help rolling out of her eye sockets, blurring her vision one after another.She raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, pushed Tingyan away and walked out, "I'll go and ask what's going on... Where's Li Hong? Is Li Hong back? Where did you hear these words? I want to ask myself. he……"

There were tears on her face, her heart was in a mess, and she spoke incoherently.It was the first time that Su Xi encountered such a thing, and she really messed up her hands and feet.She knew she shouldn't cry at this time, but she just couldn't help it, tears kept rolling down, and the more she wiped, the more she fell.

Ting Yan hurriedly stopped her, and said: "The guard Li didn't come back, it was said by the officials who went to Luozhou with the son. Girl, don't panic, the son has his own fortune, and he will definitely turn the danger into safety and come back safely." " He squeezed his fist angrily, looked in the direction of Ji'antang, gritted his teeth and said: "When the son comes back, he will definitely not spare the people there. It's only because the servants are not good at martial arts, and they can't vent their anger on the girl... They dare to harm the son like this, I believe God will not let them go."

Here, Jin Wang Wei Liankun came back from the outside and also heard the news that Wei Wei was in danger.He walked around the room twice with a fixed face, frowning tightly, and asked the official who came to deliver the message: "I don't know where the child was in danger, and who did it?"

The young man wearing a dark robe is Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry. This time he went to Luozhou to deal with the flood with Wei Feng. He said: "Return to the lord, Wei Shizi was killed at the Qingzhou post station. The emperor has ordered people to investigate I have also sent people to search for Wei Shizi's whereabouts, but there is no result yet..."

The inn was built on a hill with a steep cliff behind it.The situation was chaotic at that time, and there were so many opponents, Wei Feng was stabbed in the chest and fell into the cliff again.The people sent by the emperor have been searching for two days in a row, but there is still no whereabouts of Wei Feng. If they can't be found again, the hope of Wei Feng coming back alive will be even slimmer.

Yuan Shi listened from the side, his eyes drooping, and the calculation in his eyes flashed past.

Wei Wei is just an ordinary son, he has been valued by Emperor Zhao Yuan for the past two years, and Yuan believes that all this is because of King Jin.If the position of the eldest son fell to her son Wei Xun, then it would be Wei Xun who went to Luozhou to manage the river this time.Although the emperor attached so much importance to Wei Wei, and even said that he personally appointed someone to find his whereabouts, it was beyond Yuan's expectations, but she thought that Wei Xun had already taken care of everything, and those assassins would be sent away far away. Either they have taken poison and died, and no one will find out that this matter is related to them, so they feel at ease.

After reporting the situation, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, bid farewell and left.

After Jin Wang Wei Liankun sent him away, he sat silently in the chair of the Eight Immortals, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden.

Yuan Shi sat beside him, handed him a cup of hot tea, and comforted him with a gentle appearance: "My lord, Brother Fen will be fine."

King Jin took the teacup, but he didn't have the heart to drink tea, he didn't know what to think of, and said: "Brother, does your daughter-in-law know?"

Yuan Shi said: "I must have known about it. With such a big commotion, can we hide it from her?"

King Jin put the teacup back on the table of the Eight Immortals, pondered for a moment and said: "Someone go and comfort her, don't make her too sad."

Yuan should be.Sincere on the surface, but inwardly a little careless.

For two days in a row, there was still no news of Wei Feng.Su Xi has fallen ill since that day when she learned that Wei Yan was injured and fell off a cliff. She has a constant low-grade fever, and she often babbles intermittently in her dreams.She didn't wake up until early this morning. She was still very weak and her face was pale. Yan Yan advised her to rest for a while, but she insisted on getting up and going to Ji'an Hall.

Even if she couldn't find Wei Feng, she couldn't let Yuan Shi and Wei Xun succeed.

Here at Ji'an Hall, they are discussing the matter of changing the crown prince.

Wei Feng disappeared for four or five days, and he was seriously injured and fell off the cliff. Everyone thought that there was little hope for him to come back alive, even Jin Wang Wei Liankun did the same.It is true that Wei Liankun's heart ached. At present, Emperor Zhaoyuan's intention to establish the crown prince is not very clear, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Emperor Zhaoyuan attaches more importance to Wei Feng than Wei Yuan.If Wei Feng died, the person who would benefit the most here must be Prince Yu's Mansion.

He solemnly said that it would be easy to talk about it if he could have something to do with Prince Yu's Mansion at this time, but it's a pity that no conclusive evidence has been found to prove that it was done by people from Prince Yu's Mansion at this time.

Yuan scrutinized Jin Wang Wei Liankun's face, and said carefully: "My lord, brother Fen's whereabouts are unknown, even if he finds it, and falls from such a high place on the cliff, I'm afraid... the position of the son of the world must not be vacant. Brother Xun is also your son. He is capable of literary and military skills, calm and prudent, and you have seen all his hard work these years. What's more... Can't you see what His Majesty is thinking? The longer we delay, That is, the more unfavorable it is to me, the more beneficial it will be to the Yu Palace."

Wei Liankun was silent, and thought over Yuan's words.What Yuan Shi said was not entirely correct, but there was one thing that was true. This matter was indeed in the best interest of Prince Yu's Mansion.He said, "Let me think about it again."

This is what loose mouth means.

There is no news about Wei Feng yet, yet they can say such a thing.Su Xi was heartbroken and wanted to break into the house to argue with them, but before she could enter the house, she was stopped from behind.Wei Xun held her wrist tightly and said, "My parents are sad, so I hope my sister-in-law will not go in and disturb them."

Su Xi was annoyed when she saw him, and pulled back her hand vigorously, not wanting to be seen by others, "Let me go."

Wei Xun didn't seem to hear her words, not only did not let go, but dragged her a few steps to the side.Wei Xun smiled, Xu knew that Wei Xun had little chance of coming back, and even if he came back, he would be seriously injured and disabled, so there was not much threat to him.He was in a good mood, "I heard that sister-in-law has been ill for the past two days. I don't know how she is. Have you called a doctor yet? Brother is not here, so you should take better care of yourself."

Su Xi felt nauseous for a while, but couldn't break free from his control.Few people passed by in the lane, Ting Yan was stopped by Wei Xun's guards outside, she couldn't believe that Wei Xun dared to do such a thing in broad daylight.She said word by word: "Whether I am healthy or not has nothing to do with you. Wei Xun, if you dare to disrespect me again, I will bite my tongue in front of you and kill myself."

She has a serious face, her tone is very serious, and her pure and pure appearance is even more addictive.Wei Xun grabbed her wrist and leaned against the wall, leaning over to press her, "If I..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Xun's face changed, and he quickly pinched her chin and said, "How dare you!"

He stopped it in time, if it had been later, maybe Su Xi had really bit off his tongue.

She really dared, rather than being insulted by Wei Xun here, she would rather commit suicide.

As I said before, Su Xi is a somewhat conservative girl. She was forced by Wei Feng before because she had a crush on him before she knew it.Right now she is Wei Xun's sister-in-law, and this person has harmed her husband, how can she bear this person's hands and feet on her?

Su Xi stared at him, her almond eyes were red, and said: "Cousin Tingzhou will not let you go when he comes back."

Wei Xun smiled dumbly, and said disapprovingly, "That will have to wait until he comes back."

"It's useless to be a servant girl, you can't protect a girl..." Ting Yan bowed her head and knelt in front of the couch, admitting her mistake from the moment she came back.

Ting Li took the small medicine bottle and gave Su Xi the medicine bit by bit. Her wrist was red all over, and she didn't know how hard the other party used.Although Ting Li didn't quite know what happened, but when she saw the girl came back, she didn't speak, and Ting Yan's elder sister knelt in the room guiltily, and she could guess that it must not be a trivial matter. exited the house.

Su Xi looked at her wrist. Wei Xun's strength was as strong as a bull's. She felt pain even when she moved her wrist.She was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk, so she said after a while, "Go and prepare your pen and ink, I want to write to my second brother."

Ting Yan raised his eyes, although he was puzzled, he stood up and went as he said.

Su Xi sat behind the desk and wrote a few sentences, and asked to meet her second brother Su Zhi in the private room of Yuhe Building.

Originally, Su Xi wanted to go back to the Su Mansion directly, but her parents must have known about such a big incident, and if she knew about her situation, she would be even more worried.After thinking about it, she decided to only tell her second brother first.

The time agreed in the letter was at noon the next day.Wearing a veiled hat, Su Xi pushed open the innermost door of the Imperial Harmony Building, and saw Su Zhi standing by the window in a dark gold embroidered robe, with a tall and straight figure and a slender back.Her eyes were red immediately, and she called out "Second Brother" in a crying voice.

Su Zhi turned around, heard something wrong in her tone, took off her veil and said, "Youyou, what happened?"

The past few days have been so frightening that Su Xi hardly knows how she got here.Seeing the second brother now, it was as if he had found support, and tears of grievance kept streaming down. "Second brother... Wei Yan, he..."

Su Zhi obviously also heard about this, supported her by the shoulders, and wiped away the tears from her face with his fingers. "Don't worry, I have ordered people to go to Qingzhou to look for him. He will be fine. Although the cliff is high, there is a river below it. As long as you follow the river, you will be able to find him."

Su Xi shook her head, crying out of breath, she never believed that Wei Feng would die, even though everyone thought he had little hope of surviving, she still stubbornly believed that he would come back.What she wanted to say was another thing. "It's not this, it's... Prince Jin's Mansion..."

Su Xi told his second elder brother Su Zhi everything that had happened in Jin Palace in the past few days, from Yuan's mother and son's plot to murder Wei Wei, to Jin Wang's plan to change his son.

After she finished speaking, she saw Su Zhi's face was stern, and said, "I never thought that Prince Jin's Mansion is such a smoky place."

Su Xi looked at him and said, "Second brother, can you find clues to find out that Yuan and Wei Xun did this?"

Without any hesitation, Su Zhi took out the handkerchief in her sleeve, and wiped her weeping face, "I will figure out a way." Then he asked, "It's better for you to go home and live at home for a few days. , Mom and Dad are very worried about you when they heard about this."

Going home at this time is neither emotional nor reasonable.Besides, Wei Yan's whereabouts are unknown, she wants to stay in Prince Jin's Mansion and wait for news.Su Xi hesitated for a long time, but still refused, "Second brother, tell my parents for me, that I'm fine, and tell them not to worry. I'll go back to see them in a few days... in a few days."

She originally wanted to say that things would settle down in a few days before going back, but she stopped abruptly when she reached the point of her mouth.What is peace?Did Wei Feng come back, or did he never again... Su Xi didn't dare to think about it, so she quickly dismissed the idea.

After bidding farewell to the second elder brother Su Zhi and returning to Yunjinzhai in Prince Jin's Mansion, the twilight covered the house and the sky was already dark.

After seeing her second brother today, she cried so much that her eyes were swollen from crying. Su Xi applied cold water to her eyes.After the swelling was not so severe, I went to the clean room to take a shower.She was ill two days ago and hadn't bathed for several days.

After washing for half an hour, she came out wearing a half-worn taupe-colored coat, her hair was wet and draped behind her shoulders, and she was a little out of spirits.Ting He held her black hair and wiped her hair carefully, she drooped her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

The cold wind is blowing outside, and this year's winter is earlier than in previous years.She was still wearing autumn single clothes at this time before, but now she is wearing a cape and carrying a stove.After Su Xi's hair was half dry, she drove her out, sat on the couch by herself, and put medicine on her wrist with a medicine bottle.

Seeing that the redness left by Wei Xun last time hadn't faded away, her skin was already delicate, and Wei Xun didn't dare to touch her very much at ordinary times, fearing that he might not be able to grasp the strength properly, it would turn red when touched.Except when he was on the bed, he couldn't control it, and often got red marks all over Su Xi's body, but usually he cherished her very much.

Su Xi stared at her wrist, thinking of Wei Feng, her nose suddenly became sore.She blinked, trying to wipe away the tears in her eyes, but when she was sad, she seemed to hear something coming from outside.She thought it was Ting Yan and Ting He who had come in, she lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, and said: "You don't have to come in to serve me, I'll be asleep in a while, you guys should go to bed earlier."

There was no movement outside, tears were in her eyes, she didn't want to be seen by the maid, so she didn't look up for a long time.

After waiting for a long time but still not receiving a response, Su Xi thought that she had misheard the voice just now, so she looked up——

Seeing this, he suddenly stopped.

I saw Wei Yan wearing a black green robe standing in front of four screens inlaid with hundreds of treasures, maybe it was too cold outside, wrapped in the cold air all over his body, he was like a jade tree, standing tall and tall.He looked at himself for a moment, with a thin smile on his lips, and his voice was hoarse: "Youyou."

Su Xi was afraid that she might be wrong, so she lowered her head and rubbed her eyes again, but when she raised her eyes, she was still in front of her.

She immediately jumped down from the couch, not caring about putting on her shoes, and quickly threw her bare feet into his arms.Su Xi's slender arms hugged Wei Yan's waist tightly, and the tears she had barely suppressed just now flowed out again. She buried her small face in his chest, choked with sobs: "Why are you only here now... I thought, Cousin Tingzhou..."

Wei Yan bent down to take her into his arms, put his arms around her small body, pressed his face against her tender cheeks, and whispered, "Youyou, I miss you so much." He put his palm against the back of her head, Gently stroking and appeasing, "Do you miss me?"

Su Xi didn't feel shy this time, she nodded slightly in his arms, hugging him and refusing to let go.

After a while, the little girl in my arms still didn't want to let go.Wei Yan held her little butt in his arms and hugged her directly. "Hey, it's cold on the ground, we have something to say on the couch."

Sitting on the couch, Wei Yan put Su Xi face to face on his lap, wrapping her little hand in his palm, whirling habitually.Only this time, as soon as he touched her hand, she frowned and said pitifully, "It hurts."

Wei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her wrist.There was a large bruise printed on her jade-like white wrist. Her slender wrist was covered with bruises, which looked very shocking.

Wei Yan's black eyes turned cold, and he carefully twisted her white wrists, his voice was so cold that it could freeze quickly, "Who made this?"
