Sister, be yourself!

Chapter 169

It stands to reason that when Princess Feiluan returned to the capital, His Majesty and the Empress came to greet her in person, which showed that they attached great importance to Princess Feiluan, but in the end, they only rewarded some gold, silver and jewels.

This was beyond everyone's expectations, and I don't know what His Majesty meant, but Naye Shan was responsible for handling the case, and the previous crime was also maliciously planted by Li Xi, and finally he picked a general to be him, and his subordinates, of course, are those Brothers in the cottage.

Before the civil and military officials could figure it out, another incident that shocked everyone happened in the capital. Rumors spread all over the capital, saying that the son-in-law Wei Ziyue was actually a woman, and her identity was false, in order to climb the dragon and become the phoenix. , That's why she chose to disguise herself as a man to deceive the Holy Majesty.

Royal secrets cannot be discussed by outsiders. The government sent a large number of officers and soldiers to the streets to arrest people. It made people panic for a while, and because of this, they felt that the rumors were true, but after three days, they still failed to arrest the person who spread the rumors. Live, and the more it spreads, the more fierce it is, it is said that it has a nose and an eye.

As soon as Xiao Yuanzhi and Wei Zisu went out, the inquisitive eyes never moved away from them, so that in the end, except for going to court, the two of them hardly went out on the street.

Civil and military officials were wary of the princess's presence, so they restrained a lot when they were in court, and they basically didn't dare to provoke her. However, there were some who didn't like Wei Zisu, and secretly used this matter to run on her, but Wei Zisu didn't care. Doing what she was supposed to do, and ignoring things that had nothing to do with official business, her arrogance aroused resentment, so she stabbed the rumors she heard to the emperor.

The emperor was furious when he heard this, and sent more people to arrest the person who spread the rumors, but other than that, he didn't do anything else, which is even more intriguing.

Xiao Yuanzhi sat on Wei Zisu's lap, hooked her neck with his hands again, his eyes were full of worry, "Daughter-in-law, let's resign and leave everything alone, now that the rumors are spreading so much outside, I'm afraid that something will happen to you .”

During the past few days when the rumors spread, Xiao Yunzhi never had a peaceful night's sleep. Every night, she dreamed that Wei Zisu was arrested. Not only was she tortured, she was also cast aside by the people. She wanted to protect her, but no matter how she ran, I couldn't even run, I could only watch it happen.

Wei Zisu put his hands on Xiao Yuanzhi's waist, and said in relief: "It's just a rumor, just find out the source of the rumor, if you resign at this time, wouldn't it be to explain to the whole world that we are guilty, and that Is what people say true?"

"But...."

It's not that Yunzhi Xiao didn't propose to explain himself, but Wei Zisu stopped them.

Wei Zisu said: "Don't worry about it, get a good night's sleep, trust me, I'll be fine, it's just rumors, and we won't spread them no matter we don't respond."

Xiao Yuanzhi wanted to say something more, but looking into Wei Zisu's eyes, all the words disappeared. She knew that Wei Zisu could tell a hundred reasons for rejecting her.

Xiao Yuanzhi hugged Wei Zisu's neck tighter, and snuggled into her arms again.

It was not difficult for Wei Zisu to guess who was spreading the rumors, since that person wanted to play, then she would have fun with him.

Eunuch De looked around and saw that there were quite a few servants around, and Xiaohong was nowhere to be seen, so he felt puzzled. He had just stepped into the hall, and when he turned his head, he saw her hugging each other again. This ambiguous posture made him feel uncomfortable. He hurriedly covered his eyes, "I didn't see it, I didn't see anything."

The two followed the sound and looked at Eunuch De, Xiao Yuanzhi did not get off Wei Zisu's lap, "What are you doing here?"

Eunuch De covered his eyes and lowered his head, "The servant is ordered by His Majesty to come and call the son-in-law into the palace."

Reminiscent of the rumors, Xiao Yunzhi asked: "What is your majesty looking for?"

"It is said that there is something important to discuss."

"What's the matter?"

"This... I don't know about this servant. Your Majesty didn't tell this servant, and only asked him to call the son-in-law into the palace, and asked His Highness to wait in the mansion, so you don't have to follow the son-in-law into the palace."

This made Xiao Yuanzhi uneasy, and the emperor specially warned this sentence, did he really listen to those rumors?

Want to ask Wei Zisu for a crime?

No, she can't put Wei Zisu in danger!

Xiao Yuanzhi said: "You went back to the royal father and said that the son-in-law caught a cold last night and was ill, so he can't enter the palace."

Eunuch De looked at Wei Zisu, he couldn't see that he was caught in the wind and cold, and he was in trouble for a while, "This...slave saw that His Majesty is happy today, and I am afraid that nothing will happen. If the son-in-law doesn't go , in case His Majesty is offended..."

Xiao Yuanzhi became anxious, and her voice inevitably became much louder, "Whatever happens, what I say is what I say, and you go back to the father, and if the father blames it, I will bear it myself!"

Eunuch De was too frightened to say any more, but he didn't listen to her and left. Instead, he stood at the door all the time, obviously sending a message that His Majesty must ask Wei Zisu to see him today.

Wei Zisu patted Xiao Yuanzhi's back lightly, and only when facing Xiao Yuanzhi, a smile appeared on his face, "I didn't sleep well at first, but now I'm annoyed by this matter, it's not worth it, he also It's just passing on the imperial father's will, so why should you blame him."

Xiao Yuanzhi hugged Wei Zisu tightly, and pressed his face against her neck, "But I don't want you to go, let alone you go alone."

"I know, but since I am a courtier and married her daughter, how dare I not listen to him, let alone just summon me." Wei Zisu continued to be persuasive, "The rumors are just rumors, Your Majesty is a wise monarch , and your father again, how could he listen to those."

Wei Zisu said a few more words of relief, and then Xiao Yuanzhi let her go, but he was still reluctant to part with her, and sent her to the door, even though the carriage she was riding in disappeared from sight, he did not want to leave.

Wei Zisu was sitting in the carriage. If he only asked her to enter the palace, there would be no need for such a battle. He also brought six "officers and soldiers". During the test, the Ouchi master who was tapped by her.

Eunuch De was walking beside the carriage, when Wei Zisu's voice suddenly came, "Eunuch De, did Emperor Father really not say anything to you?"

Eunuch De was shocked by the sudden question. In order to prevent being seen through by Xiao Yunzhi, he tried not to say much, but Wei Zisu still noticed it.

Wei Zisu patted the folds on his cuffs, and said casually: "Eunuch De, what are you worried about, there must be a lot of people around here, no matter how good my martial arts are, I can't escape unscathed. Or... since I dare to get into the carriage, it proves that I will definitely not escape."

Eunuch De bowed his hands to Wei Zisu in the carriage, "I have to admire you, my son-in-law is really smart."

Wei Zisu chuckled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"The people sent by His Majesty found out that the identity of the son-in-law was indeed suspicious. In fear that His Highness Feiluan would be sad if he found out, he ordered the servants to call the son-in-law into the palace to check it out."

What he said was high-sounding, but there were quite a few loopholes. I'm afraid he was planning to ask her for a crime.

"My son-in-law, this servant also sees your true affection for His Royal Highness Feiluan, but this is the royal family, not the rivers and lakes, so we still have to follow the rules."

Wei Zisu closed her eyes and didn't talk to Eunuch De any more. She only knew that she and Yunzhi Xiao were in true love, and she had to overcome all difficulties to be with Yunzhi Xiao, even if it would cost her life, she don't care.

Now that Wei Zisu ignored him, Eunuch De no longer made fun of himself.

After a while, following Eunuch De's soft call, Wei Zisu opened his eyes, jumped off the carriage, and followed Eunuch De to see His Majesty.

As soon as I entered the hall, I found that apart from the emperor and empress, there was not even a palace official.

"Your Majesty, empress, the son-in-law has already arrived."

The emperor nodded, "Get out."

"Yes, the slave will leave."

After Eunuch De went out, he closed the door again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Empress."

The emperor raised his hand slightly, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, empress."

Wei Zisu had long thought that there would be such a day. After she got up, she was open-minded. She no longer kept secrets like when she was serving tea, but raised her chest and raised her head, daring to look directly at the emperor and queen. up.

"My son-in-law, have you heard the recent rumors about the capital?"

Wei Zisu cupped his hands and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, I have heard about it."

The emperor put his hand on the dragon's head, "Then what do you think of this rumor?"

"Since someone with a heart is spreading this news, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy."

Of course the emperor knew, "I am asking you, have you fabricated your identity as the rumors say, and you are not Wei Ziyue?"

Wei Zisu's hands were as heavy as lead. She put them down and looked at the emperor again, but she didn't speak.

"My son-in-law, I have always admired your ability, and once thought that my Luan'er married the right person. You don't know that when Luan'er returned to the palace, his body was covered with scars. When he recovered, he was still depressed. "The emperor looked ahead, but he didn't look at anyone, "Later, maybe she was afraid that I and the queen would be sad, so she pretended that she didn't care about anything and only loved money, but how could she deceive us parents with her little thoughtfulness? Yes, but after she got married, the whole person changed, and she was really happy."

The emperor suddenly looked at Wei Zisu, and said angrily, "I didn't expect you to be a woman!"

Obviously, he had already learned from Ye Shankou that a large number of people assassinated Xiao Yuanzhi back then, but when he heard the emperor talking about it again, Wei Zisu's heart seemed to be bleeding.

The queen's eyes lingered on Wei Zisu's face for a while, but she really remembered, "I have indeed seen you before, so you are Luan'er's senior sister—Wei Zisu."

The emperor said: "Wei Zisu, you pretended to be a woman and disguised yourself as a man to deceive the emperor, you can be convicted!"

Wei Zisu knelt on the ground, "Zisu is guilty."

"Okay, since you are convicted, then I will dismiss your official position and put you in prison. I will announce to the world tomorrow that you and Luan'er will be terminated." The emperor said again: "Come here, send Wei Zi Su press down!"

Following the emperor's order, the Imperial Forest Army rushed in and took Wei Zisu down again. They wanted to take Wei Zisu away, but they couldn't pull her away no matter what.

"Your Majesty, Zisu deceives the king, Zisu admits it, but Zisu and my junior sister are sincerely in love with each other, there is nothing wrong with it, if there are other ways to make us stay together, Zisu will never choose to deceive the king Do not follow this path.”

The emperor scolded: "Presumptuous!"

"If there is a mistake in the word love, wouldn't everyone in the world be wrong?"

"There is nothing wrong with the word love, but you two are both women!"

It was not the emperor who said this, but the queen.

"So what? The empress is the mother of the world. I have seen many people. Women love each other. There are also love. Love is love, regardless of high or low. As long as you really love each other, you are willing to give up everything for each other, even life. "

"Exhausting my life, I only get a few short months of staying together. Is it worth it?"

Wei Zisu replied without hesitation: "Of course."

"But I will stay with her forever!"

Wei Zisu spoke very firmly, she shook her forcefully, and the Imperial Forest Army who had been holding her flew out in an instant.

The emperor scolded: "Wei Zisu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course Zisu knows that Zisu doesn't mean to offend His Majesty and Empress Dowager, but just hopes that His Majesty and Empress Dowager can help me and my junior sister."

"What if I don't?"

"Zisu will take Junior Sister with her."

"Aren't you afraid that I will destroy the entire Wei family?"

"Your Majesty, you won't do this. If the entire Wei family is destroyed for me, what will people think of you, Your Majesty?" Wei Zisu said again: "According to Zisu's knowledge, the court's Ku Yin But it is much less than in previous years, and there are constant famines. The court looks rich, but in reality it is not. In addition, there are many people who secretly make troubles. His Majesty has been rewarding the junior sisters. Apart from transferring money, it is also proving to the outside world The imperial court is rich, the crown prince has not yet been established, and the two princes are fighting openly and secretly."

Wei Zisu straightened the wrinkles on his body, and continued: "My father has been in contact with the Ryukyu Kingdom these years, and has had a lot of business contacts, which has brought huge benefits to the court. If you kill my father, or I'm afraid... the imperial court will lack a lot of things, although it is not enough to shake Canglai, but it can bring a lot of influence. The Huns have always been eyeing Canglai, and their Shanyu has repeatedly led the way in recent years. The soldiers invaded the border of our country. If he heard the news of his father, he might not be safe and would definitely take the opportunity to attack. As for the two princes, no matter who wins the throne, they will cause quite a stir in the court, so If His Majesty kills me, or offends my family, it will only aggravate internal and external troubles."

The emperor sighed: "Wei Zisu, although you are a woman, you are not inferior to a man."

That's right, the emperor didn't intend to kill Wei Zisu, and he was just trying to test Wei Zisu just now.

Wei Zisu looked at the emperor, "The purpose of your majesty is to lure me into the bait."

The emperor looked at Wei Zisu with interest, "Oh?"

There was a sudden quarrel outside the door, Xiao Yunzhi reprimanded: "Get out of the way!"

"If you don't get out of the way, I won't be polite!"

Xiao Yuanzhi was already in a hurry, seeing that the Imperial Forest Army was standing guard at the door without even moving, he didn't care about anything, he would fight if he went up.

Although those imperial guards were well-trained, they couldn't beat Xiao Yuanzhi anywhere, and fell down within a few blows.

"boom--"

Xiao Yuanzhi kicked the door open, and looked at the Imperial Forest Army outside the door, they were all lying on the ground and screaming.

What catches the eye is Wei Zisu standing in the middle of the hall, with many folds on his clothes on his back, while the imperial guards on both sides are holding knives, and some of them are still moving their wrists.

The emperor once again had an expression of asking questions, knowing that Wei Zisu's identity had been exposed.

Xiao Yuanzhi stepped forward and stood in front of Wei Zisu, "Father, Queen Mother, please don't hurt the son-in-law!"
