Wei Yuewu knew that her father was in the imperial palace now. As the Emperor's trusted official and a general, of course, he would come to investigate when there was an assassination in the harem.
She only thought of this after Yan Huaijing reminded her, but Yan Huaijing had probably already predicted this.
Sure enough, every step that Yan Huaijing took was carefully thought through. Even if it was a sudden and unexpected incident, he had already prepared a strategy to adapt to the situation. Moreover, it seemed so natural and matter-of-fact.
What a scheming monster. Wei Yuewu once again lamented that everyone was fooled by Yan Huaijing's gentle appearance.
There was the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. Wei Luowen, who was leading a few palace guards, was taken aback when he came upstairs and saw Wei Yuewu sitting opposite Yan Huaijing, and his face instantly had an angry look.
This scene reminded him o
A lot of people had gathered around the place where the two eunuchs were killed.Wei Luowen originally wanted to send Wei Yuewu back to her palace, but Wei Yuewu insisted on going with him to take a look and promised that she would see from a distance. Moreover, she said that Wei Fengyao had invited her over there before. If Yan Huaijing hadn't invited her to play Go, she would have been at the place when the assassination happened.Her remarks made Wei Luowen's face darken, but he agreed to let Wei Yuewu follow.Coincidentally, Wei Fengyao and Wei Qiufu were both there. Although they were standing far away from the crowd, their presence made Wei Luowen even more suspicious.If Yan Huaijing hadn't stopped Wei Yuewu and taken her elsewhere at that time, would she have died at the scene too?At the thought of this, Wei Luowen looked skeptically at his two nieces again, who seemed fragile and gentle, and he began t
"I-I went to look for Eldest Sister earlier!" Wei Qiufu had been listening from the side. She was not Wei Fengyao and there were some things she was not clear about. However, she felt that Qi Yunhao, who had never taken the initiative to talk to them, had ulterior motives.When Qi Yunhao turned his focus to her, she quickly affirmed."Eldest Sister, am I right?" After saying that, Wei Qiufu turned to look at Wei Fengyao as if she was trying hard to verify her statement.Wei Fengyao was afraid that others would find out that she had schemed against Wei Yuewu with that matter. Hearing Wei Qiufu's question, she hurriedly nodded, "Yes, Fourth Younger Sister came to look for me. Actually, I was on my way here at that time, so I didn't see her."Therefore, neither Wei Qiufu nor Wei Fengyao could prove their absence, but judging from the current situation and the discovery of evidence at that time, the Heiress-apparent of Prince Na
On the field, there were the four heirs-apparent's bodyguards as well as the guards from the imperial palace. Many people held bows and arrows in their hands and aimed at the target. Wei Fengyao and Wei Qiufu stood under the tree that was quite a distance from the target. Logically speaking, the arrows would never reach Wei Fengyao.However, the truth was that there was an arrow that came out of nowhere and headed straight for Wei Fengyao's face.Wei Fengyao had been chatting with Wei Qiufu in a low voice, discussing why Wei Yuewu came unscathed, so they did not pay attention to the archery field. When she heard the shrill scream and saw an arrow coming at her, she did not have time to avoid it at all. She subconsciously grabbed Wei Qiufu's hand, wanting to drag Wei Qiufu in front of her.At this time, Wei Qiufu found that something was wrong. As she sensed that Wei Fengyao was pulling her, she leaned to the side with all her strength, a
"Of course! It is so beautiful, I have to bring it with me into the Palace, or it would be a waste of Concubine Dong's good intentions. Father, don't you know? Concubine Dong also gave me a lot of exquisite brocade. Miss Zhao was so jealous when she saw my brocade that day, so I gave her one!"Wei Yuewu recalled with a sweet smile, but a hint of frigidness flashed across her slightly ajar lips.Sure enough, this was the most plausible reason.Since Concubine Dong gave her such an outstanding brocade and hairpin, of course, she would wear them at the most suitable occasion. What was more suitable than attending a banquet in the Palace?The banquet in the Palace—Empress Tu had once been engaged to Wei Luowen—Empress Tu did not like Mother...There seemed to be a faint connecting line that suddenly became clear!Wei Yuewu gently clenched her hands in her sleeves. Wen Tianyao also said that he had never
Suddenly, Ming Yan pushed open Wei Yuewu's door and rushed in, followed by her panicked voice. When she realized Wei Luowen's presence, she hurriedly fell to her knees. "Lord Marquis, please come with me! Fourth Young Lady wants to kill herself!""What's going on?" Wei Luowen's face darkened as he asked coldly."After what happened to Eldest Young Lady, Fourth Young Lady didn't know how to explain herself, so she kicked me out of the room and wanted to hang herself!" A distraught expression painted Ming Yan's face as she wailed hastily while pointing to the door. "Lord Marquis, please go and talk to her! If I hadn't gone in to check on her because I felt uneasy, she would have...""Let's go!" Wei Luowen flicked his sleeves, turned around, and walked out of the door. As Wei Qiufu's eldest uncle, he should go and take a look.Standing behind them, Wei Yuewu silently curved her lips into a cold sneer. Wei Qiufu was indeed craft
Entering the room with a sullen face, Mo Huating looked at the miserable-looking Wei Qiufu. The collapsed stool was still on the ground with the long white silk cloth hanging beside it. In addition, Wei Qiufu, whose face was drenched with tears, became the most appealing in the room.However, for some reason, Mo Huating saw a piece of clothing that hid behind the screen.Wei Qiufu's and Wei Yuewu's maids were in the room, so Mo Huating knew that the piece of clothing belonged to Wei Yuewu. At the thought of this, he narrowed his profound eyes."Fourth Miss Wei, are you..." Mo Huating frowned and asked."I-I am fine. I accidentally knocked over the..." Wei Qiufu wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief and sobbed in a secretive manner.Anything that happened in the Palace could spread like wildfire. Moreover, Mo Huating worked as the imperial guard in the Palace, so he was aware of the Heiress-apparent of
"Jin Ling, let's go!" Gripping the note in her hand, Wei Yuewu urged, her expression changing slightly. If it was someone she needed, she had to hurry over."Miss, what is it?" Not knowing what Yan Huaijing wrote in the note, Jin Ling charged forward and opened the door for Wei Yuewu."Let's go over and take a look!" Wei Yuewu frowned slightly.After that, the two of them hurriedly left the house and kept walking out.After they left, Wei Qiufu's door opened. Mo Huating stood at the door with a cold face."Thank you, Marquis Jing Yuan!" Wei Qiufu saw him to the door. She had slightly spruced up her appearance. Although she did not put on makeup, she looked rather delicate and pitiful.This kind of expression was usually the last expression that Wei Qiuju showed, and Wei Qiufu had always been graceful and poised in front of others.However, her current behavior, her slightly shy eyes, an
"What is it?" Wei Yuewu blinked and asked."Previously, you wanted to chop off the plum trees in the courtyard, but Madam Dowager advised against it, saying that she would ask someone to take a look at the courtyard. Today, a geomancer came. He looked over the courtyards one by one, and when he was at Madam's yard, he said that there were evil spirits causing trouble. Her courtyard was the reason why so many accidents happened in the mansion.""So what was his advice?" Wei Yuewu lowered her eyes, looking down at the floor."He suggested tearing down Madam's courtyard and burning everything inside in order to get rid of the evil spirits and ensure the safety of the mansion!" Shufei squealed anxiously. "Miss, what should we do?"When Shufei heard the news, she instantly discussed it with Huamo and blurted an excuse to leave the mansion in order to report this matter to Wei Yuewu. However, she came here secretly, so she didn't
