Snow Chihiro

Chapter 136. Invisible

======================

It was already midnight when Dongfang Xi returned to the palace. Such a loud noise naturally disturbed the palace. The little emperor wandered around in her palace in neat clothes. The earth-shattering event, the imperial sister, didn't even know that I would say a word."

Dongfang Xi raised his eyebrows, trying to figure out the meaning of these words, Zhengde's eyebrows were beaming and he said: "A man who doesn't go to war a few times in his life is a man, and now he is outside the capital, but I can't come in person. It's really a pity."

"How can the Son of Heaven take such a risk with his golden body. What's more, this matter is confidential. If His Majesty is attached to you, you will have to be extravagant and guarded. I'm afraid it will be known." Dongfang Xiyu comforted his younger brother earnestly.

Zhengde nodded when he heard the words, and asked again: "Then sister Huang and I can talk carefully?"

"It doesn't matter. But thinking about tomorrow's matter, more people will talk to His Majesty. There is no rush for this moment. Your Majesty should go back early to rest and prepare for tomorrow's morning court."

"That's right, sister Huang has made such a great contribution, I will definitely reward her well!"

Dongfang Xi laughed dumbly and said, "I'm afraid it's me."

"How come?" Zhengde was in a hurry, and quickly held Dongfang Xi, his hands were cold, and the eagerness was rarely seen on his face.Emperor Hongzhi had only one son and one daughter in his life. Although they were not accompanied since childhood, their feelings were deep.Dongfang Xi's heart is quite warm seeing his younger brother like this, but the warmer he is, the more he misses another little person. If she is here... well, what happened this time might break her heart.

"Sister Huang, what's the matter with you?" Zhengde raised his head and tiptoed to smooth her brows, and said seriously: "Sister Huang, don't worry, I will definitely protect Sister Huang properly, and won't let Sister Huang suffer any grievances."

"Sister Huang believes in Your Majesty." Dongfang Xi smiled and motioned Liu Jin to step forward, "Then Your Majesty will go back to rest and protect Huang Jie early."

She sent Zhengde away, but her heart became more and more exhausted, and she leaned on the chair and closed her eyes for a while.Seeing her appearance, Wei Ba cautiously suggested: "Either you don't see Yi...Mr. Wei?"

"I see." Dongfang Xi didn't care about her address, and opened his eyes and said, "Bring it here." Suspicion about Wei Ji didn't start in a day, and after getting a tip from the Su family, it became more determined, until Wei Wei a few days ago After leaving the palace and getting the evidence, she held back her anger and waited for the day when they acted to catch them all.Dongfang Xi has always been respectful, trusting and grateful to Weiji, so he doesn't understand how such people would do treasonous things because of some interests, regardless of the kindness of knowing them.

Wei Ba early sent people to wait outside, but he brought them over in a short while, Wei Ji is good at martial arts, even if the acupoints are sealed now, no one dares to take it lightly, the one who escorted him was one of Hongzhi's accompanying eunuchs, seeing Dongfang Xi respectfully saluted and stood beside him.Weiji didn't kneel this time, and said with a smile, "Your Highness."

"Give Mr. Wei a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Weiji cupped his hands, Fang Luo sat down and sighed: "Your Highness is so courageous, he actually blew up the North Gate, leaving the capital undefended. Wei admires such courage."

"Mr. Wei's reputation is too high. It's better than Mr. Wu, who can sit here calmly with a sword and an axe."

Wei Ji said: "I have prepared for today, but I never thought that Your Highness would waste time seeing me. Your Highness is much more affectionate than before, this is not a good sign."

"Mr. Lao Wei has not forgotten his teachings on this occasion, so I should remember it."

The two seemed to be chatting, and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful. Dongfang Xi lifted the lid of the teacup and poured the heat on his face, Fang said: "Mr. Wei has known Father Huang and Commander Mou for 20 years. Although he did such a stupid thing today, The palace can still fulfill Mr.'s last wish."

Wei Ji smiled and said: "Your Highness wants to know why Weimou betrayed Hongzhi, Mou Bin and Your Highness! Weimou thought you already knew."

Dongfang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Should I know?"

Wei Ji didn't answer, still smiling, the scar that should be hideous and ugly was very soft at this moment, and said in a soft voice: "Why don't you talk about Wei Mou's last wish. I wish that the Ming Dynasty would be torn apart, and that the surname Zhu would be in the same vein." Cut off children and grandchildren."

He said these two words clearly but softly but clearly revealed the viciousness inside, even Xi Mu who came back to his life covered in smoke from the outside was trembling in his heart.Everyone in the room was annoyed and panicked, but the two parties seemed to be joking and laughed together.It was Wei Ba, who was behind Dongfang Xi, who saw Ximu hesitated outside the door, and said in his ear, "Your Highness, it looks like Ximu outside the door."

Dongfang Xi's eyes lit up, and he called out, "Come in."

She didn't shy away from Weiji and the eunuch, and looked up and down Xi Mu, who was bowing down, and saw that although he looked a little embarrassed and had a few light marks on his face, but he was fine, she felt at ease, and didn't shy away from Weiji, and went directly He asked: "Get up, you will be fine as long as you are safe, how is the second young master?"

Xi Mu replied: "Second Young Master was slightly injured, he didn't want to come back with his subordinates, so he just asked his subordinates to bring this to His Highness."

Dongfang Xi took it over and looked at it, calmly, and first asked: "Is this written by him now, or has he prepared it long ago."

"It's ready."

Dongfang Xi's eyes relaxed when he heard this answer, but he still didn't smile. There were only two lines on the note, Xi Kuangyun was at the center of the hub, and Xue Qianxun looked like a master.She shook the note, looked at Weiji again, suddenly had a bold guess, and deliberately asked: "I asked you to check Xue Qianxun's life experience, did you find anything? Is there any connection?"

She glanced at Wei Ji and saw that he didn't have any expression at first, but then there was a flash of surprise and excitement in an instant, and after thinking about it again and again, she probably had an idea.

"Mr. Xue's life experience was disconnected after finding several traffickers, but if she is really what the family said, Ah Xun is the only daughter of the Xue family in Yangzhou Prefecture in the past."

Speaking of Xue Qianxun's life experience, Dongfang Xi had already sent people to investigate several times, but at the beginning of course it was only when the trafficker was found.That person died suddenly after abducting Xue Qianxun's wave. Although there must be something tricky in it, it's hard to find out such old things.Later, when she got the news about "Ah Xun" on Dongfang Li's end, she checked it again, but in the end she only found out that it was brought from the south by a person from the rivers and lakes.Now that Ximu found out about this Xuefu, it was a breakthrough, not to mention this surname...but why is she similar to the leader of the Kuangyun Gang outside the Great Wall?Dongfang Xi pondered for a while and then asked: "Then who are the Yangzhou Xue family?"

Ximu replied: "The young master of the Xue family was originally on guard in Yangzhou and had a good reputation in Yangzhou. However, nearly 20 years ago, a fire burned down Xue's mansion and dozens of households nearby turned into ruins. So many people died and their bones were also cleaned up." It’s not complete, and I don’t know who died in it, but I haven’t heard of anyone who is still alive.”

Dongfang Xi frowned and said, "Such a fire must be man-made, so how did the Yangzhou government settle the case?"

"It's said that some bastards had some grievances with Xue Bing. They wanted to set fire to vent their anger, but unexpectedly caused a catastrophe. This file is naturally not true. It's just that after so many years, we can't find out what happened." The foundation of Taixu Palace is still shallow, even if it develops rapidly, some old events will not be revealed.

Dongfang Xi sneered, looked at Wei Ji and said: "You set fire to vent your anger, but no one inside can escape. Mr. Wei has been in the wind department for a long time, do you know what's going on?"

Wei Ji smiled and said: "Hasn't Your Highness already guessed it?" He answered with a good attitude, but was somewhat vague, this answer is equivalent to no answer.But Dongfang Xi was not annoyed, he got up and took a few files, sorted them out and said: "I just didn't understand why Mr. Wei did such a treacherous thing, and even killed his best friend Commander Mou, now After getting some pointers, I have an idea, Mr. Wei might as well give some pointers."

Wei Ji nodded and said: "Okay." His eyes were clear, as if he really didn't care about anything, he sat there casually, and he still had time to appreciate the plum blossoms on the teacup.

Dongfang Xidao: "Speaking of it, it's still the old incident more than 20 years ago. The father did something stupid in a moment of grief and anger, and the emperor bled thousands of miles in a rage. Then Yangzhou Lianyunzhai is just one of the fish in the pond. It's just that the blood-washed But it’s not clean enough, and a lot of people came out.” She said at the beginning that she still speculated, but she felt clear when she went through it like this, and said in a deep voice: “Including the current leader Wei of the Kuangyun Gang, and you.”

Wei Ji laughed without saying a word, Dongfang Xi continued: "The head of Wei probably brought some people to the outside of the Great Wall, and he made a name for himself in the past 20 years. Mr. Wei destroyed his appearance and pretended to be sent by Commander Mou. Save him, try his best to get his appreciation and recommend him to his father. He climbed all the way and won his trust. Fengbu is his father's eyes. Mr. Wei controls Fengbu, no matter what he wants to do behind the scenes. Those who are directly related are Xue Shoubing, etc., and arranged counselors around the kings to induce them to rebel, and finally chose King Ning. It seems that he has a great connection with the Quartet, but you are quite helpful in it."

Only then did Weiji raise his eyes to look at her, and clapped his hands, "Your Highness's conjecture is really quite bold, Weimou admires you even more." In fact, he has been cautious and did not directly attack the Xue family, but he can guess well. Who was the one who committed the murder, quietly covered it up for her.Weiji admitted one by one, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was light and firm, without any feeling of being a prisoner.Xi Mu couldn't help but said, "It's just that your highness has seen through your scheme now, and those two anti-kings have no chance of turning around."

"He never thought of being successful." Dongfang Xi sneered, "No matter who succeeds in rebelling against the king, the whole world still has the surname Zhu, so how can we meet Mr. Wei's wishes?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was even more surprised, but Weiji laughed and praised: "Your Highness really has insight into people's hearts."

"Mr. Wei's plan is just to hope that Ming Dynasty will suffer from civil strife and be unable to resist foreign enemies. Perhaps the bombing of the city gate tonight is also within your expectation, and even caused it on purpose."

"Your Highness thinks highly of Wei Mou at this point." Wei Ji sighed: "Your Highness is a hero among women, she is very courageous, I only found out yesterday. Since His Highness is so brave, how can Wei Mou not help?"

Before he confessed, everyone in the room felt cold behind his back. This person is bold, careful, resourceful, ruthless to others and himself, but he is so paranoid in his appearance, how could he not be scary.

Dongfang Xi stood up and looked down at him, "Then, Mr. Wei, has it ever occurred to you that because of the private enmity of hundreds of people, you are causing chaos in the world, maybe four or tens of millions of people, foreign races invade, and the people are in dire straits, you are worthy of the people of the world ?”

"Why should I be worthy of them?" Weiji thought this question was ridiculous, "What do people in this world have to do with me? Have you ever saved my life, have you ever had a drink with me, have you ever taught me martial arts, have you ever blocked swords for me? But the brother I kowtowed to? But the lover in my heart?"

His series of questions made Ximu and the others excited, wishing to teach him a lesson, but Dongfang Xi remained silent, she knew they were the same person.If it weren't for the fact that the world is closely related to her father, emperor and her younger brother, she would definitely not bother to care about it, let alone Weiji still has hatred in her body.

"In the past, Lian Yunzhai was quite well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. Among them was the sixth head of the family, ranking last. He was only in his early twenties, but his seniority was high in martial arts. His name was Wei Shidong. He must have been Mr. Dongfang." Xixi changed the subject unhurriedly, and said lightly: "Mr. was young and romantic at the time but never married a wife. Presumably he also has a woman in his heart." She waved the page with her fingers, but instead of turning it over, she glanced at the book on it. A few lines, "It is said that Wei Shidong is quite close to Miss Wei, and the old boss has deliberately matched up many times but because of his seniority..." Dongfang Xi's voice suddenly raised, "However, I just got a piece of news. It is said that there is an old man who is quite similar to Wei Dadang's family, and Mr. Renwei has seen it before, do you have the same feeling?"

There was a flicker in Weiji's eyes, and he finally put away his smile, "Who is His Highness talking about?"

Dongfang Xi used his own way to deal with his own body, and said with a playful smile: "Mr. naturally knows."

Weiji replied word by word: "Wei doesn't know."

Wei Ji actually knew it, and he had doubts the moment he saw Xue Qianxun, and he speculated on the truth earlier than everyone else.After all, he was one of the parties involved in the turmoil more than 20 years ago. He once witnessed his childhood sweetheart's "little niece" go down the mountain to "rob color" and somehow robbed a young and promising court official. The old head of the family who was pregnant with darkness and anger turned gray. Similarly, he also knew that the day when the bloody incident happened was when Wei Jinyan gave birth. Xue Zhongbai picked her up and went down the mountain, and then led the soldiers to besiege Lianyunzhai.Later, he escaped in a panic and sneaked into the city, only to hear that Wei Jinyan died of dystocia, leaving only an orphan girl who was handed over by Xue Zhongbai's righteous extermination.Scumbag, but that's all.

Since then, he has been full of hatred and ruined his appearance, changed his name to Wei Zui, deliberately approached Mou Bin, and was recommended to Hongzhi with his own skills, and finally took on the important task of Fengbu.Weiji was well aware of the difficulty of overthrowing the country, so he was cautious until the Yangzhou garrison mansion massacre. Maybe some brothers had escaped, and it was very likely that it was Wei Jinyan. Keeping his footing, he didn't dare to investigate easily for fear that his brother would be exposed because of himself, so he only helped to cover up the past, and continued to play his own chess step by step.He played chess very smoothly, and every step he took was very steady. Sometimes he was confused, but he never stopped and never regretted it.

When he saw Xue Qianxun, he was also very shocked. He vaguely understood that there must have been some misunderstanding between Wei Jinyan and Xue Zhongbai, and that Xue Qianxun was her child.He was overwhelmed with power in his heart, and finally let go of the idea of ​​killing Dongfang Yunfei and the others, sowing the relationship between Hongzhi's father and daughter, and took the initiative to intercede, just to ensure that the old man's daughter left safely.But he didn't pass this news to Wei Jinyan, he didn't say it at the beginning, and now he refuses to admit it.

So much time has passed, and fate has been too unfair to the mother and daughter. The blood on the mountain, the fire in the city, and 20 years of bitterness and suffering have already doomed them to find it difficult to continue this blood relationship in this life.It is better not to speak, it hurts more; it is better not to see, seeing will only increase resentment.
