Chapter 45:

After returning to the palace, Wei Lan went directly to Xie Zichen. Xie Zichen seemed to have expected her to come. The tea set was prepared on the table and waited for Wei Lan to arrive. As soon as Wei Lan entered the house, he heard the sound of boiling water, and couldn't help laughing. She stepped into the room barefoot and said loudly, "It seems that everything is expected by Zichen."
Xie Zichen turned the tea leaves into the tea bowl with a calm complexion, and poured boiling water into the bowl. The water passed through the tea leaves on the filter to bring out the fragrance of the tea. Xie Zichen said lightly: "See Xia Sanniang?"
"Sure enough, it's you?" Wei Lan knelt down in front of the case, watching Xie Zichen wash the tea. Xie Zichen nodded: "I want to give His Highness Three a big gift."
Upon hearing this, Wei Lan couldn't help but laughed: "I am the companion of the Third Highness, you told me, I will tell the Third Highness to go down."
"That's what I can't ask for." Xie Zichen pushed the brewed tea in front of Wei Lan, raising his eyebrows: "I also give A Lan a gift."
Wei Lan didn't speak, picked up the tea cup, and listened quietly.
"Fifteen years ago, Zhang Yushi was only at the time of Dali Temple, and had a good relationship with Xiacheng, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. However, because his boss was at odds with Xiacheng's politics, he designed and framed Xiacheng. Wen Zhan, his wife and daughter were all prostitutes. At that time, Zhang Huaisheng saw that Xia Cheng's wife and daughter were beautiful in jail, so he intended to forcibly occupy both of them. Xia Chengzhi's wife committed suicide for her virginity, while Xia Sanniang was Defiled. At that time, Xia Sanniang was only fifteen years old."
"My parents died with hatred and I was sold into a prostitution. Xia Sanniang intended to die, but found out that she had a child. This child was called Xia Tan, which was Xia Sanniang's hope. In order to keep this child, Xia Sanniang He deliberately forgot the hatred and endured the humiliation for many years, but he did not expect that just last year, Xia Tan suffered from tuberculosis. Xia Sanniang spent all his wealth, but he could not cure the child."
"So, you promised her to save Xia Tan, and she promised you to sue Zhang Yushi?"
Wei Lan frowned, Xie Zichen nodded, holding a tea cup, covering her tea with wide sleeves, taking a sip, and lowering her eyebrows: "From what I know about Zhang Yushi, Xia Sanniang is now suing He, he must be afraid, and will kill Xia Sanniang himself. I have now sent a good hand to guard Xia Sanniang, and I am waiting for you to come."
"Wait for me?" Wei Lan couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid it's not a good job."
"It's done, Alan is the confidant of the Third Highness."
Xie Zichen chuckled lightly, with a joke in his eyes: "Not only that, Alan may also become your majesty's confidant. With the three princes and your majesty escorting, are you afraid that the official transportation will not work?"
"Let's talk," Wei Lan put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Don't say there are such big benefits, even if there are no benefits, Zichen asked, I will go through fire and water."
"I want to ask you to do two things. The first one is to persuade Su Cheng to kill Xia Sanniang, but you can't persuade you. You can never say this from your mouth."
Wei Lan nodded, indicating that she understood. Xie Zichen added tea to her and continued: "The second one," he raised his eyes and looked at her: "Lend me some people to protect Xia Sanniang, I'm afraid I don't have enough manpower."
Hearing this, Wei Lan couldn't help but was stunned. After a while, she laughed: "I thought Xia Sanniang was an abandoned son. Zichen didn't intend to waste time and manpower on her."
"I promise to protect her as much as possible, and I will do what I say."
Xie Zichen took a sip of tea, turned his head and looked out the window, the sun fell on his face, making his skin look extra white, with a somewhat transparent smell. He looked at the lush greenery outside the window, with some emotion: "It's midsummer, and the peach blossoms are gone, it's a pity."
Wei Lan didn't speak. She looked at him, and subconsciously said, "What does it matter if there is a peach blossom in front of the beauty?"
Her words were from the sincerity, but after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh at herself: "It's rude to say that Zichen is a brother, but I can't help but say such things."
Xie Zichen smiled slightly, raised his teacup and said, "Xie Alan praised."
After drinking tea with Xie Zichen for a while and chatting for a while, Wei Lan was called out by Su Cheng's servant. From time to time, Su Cheng had to let her companions have a party. Wei Lan was already used to it. It was just that she would not be called at key gatherings. She also knew that Su Cheng was guarding her. Asking her to go today is bound to mean something of wind and moon.
But with the task, Wei Lan naturally wouldn't go away like before. She hurriedly thought of Su Cheng's companion reading in her mind, and initially decided on a general strategy.
Persuading Su Cheng to kill Xia Sanniang, she couldn't say it, naturally let others say it. Among the companions of the Three Princes, Wang Yuan is the most suitable person to do this. Wang Yuan is not only the third son of the Wang family, he can speak on the face of Su Cheng, but he is also a clever one who likes to play tricks and clever things. He wants to make Su Cheng look at him with admiration, but in fact it is essentially useless. Embroidered pillows.
Wei Lan decided on a candidate, and when he arrived at the meeting place, he swept away and saw Wang Yuanzheng coming from far away. Wei Lan deliberately chose his only way, winked at dye ink, hid behind a big tree, and whispered: "Dye ink, wait a while for a play."
"Okay." Yanmo nodded with bright eyes.
When the two waited for Wang Yuan to approach, Wei Lan suddenly yelled: "What did you say?! Xia Sanniang's affairs are all fake?!!!"
Hearing Wei Lan's words, Wang Yuan, who was joking, immediately stopped and calmed down. After looking at each other, Wang Yuan quietly approached the direction of Wei Lan's words.
And Wei Lan knew that these two people had come, turned her back to them, and said anxiously to dye ink, "Impossible, if Sanniang Xia is a fake, how dare the prince instruct Xia Sanniang to sue Zhang Huaisheng?"
Hearing this, Wang Yuan's expression became a little excited. He just passed by here, but he heard such important news. If the news is known to the three princes, he will definitely improve his status in the hearts of the three princes.
He held his breath and listened to Wei Lan continue to say: "I understand, so the best way for the prince is to kill Xia Sanniang, and then pretend to be Zhang Yushi as a murderer. In this way, there is no evidence for death, and this The case of pure adultery of female prisoners immediately turned into a murder case. It is just the character of the prince, I am afraid that he would not do it."
Wei Lan seemed to be lost in thought, while dyeing ink matched her innocent expression: "Prince Rende, he will definitely not do such a thing."
Wei Lan smiled, and asked, "If the prince doesn't want to do it, why not do it?"
Hearing this, Wang Yuan's heart beat fast, and he already understood what Wei Lan was saying.
Xia Sanniang, who sued Zhang Huaisheng, was the prince’s person and framed Zhang Huaisheng. For the prince, the best way to get an official prostitute to deceive everyone is to send someone to kill Xia Sanniang first, and then pretend to be Zhang Huaisheng's work, and then use Zhang Huaisheng's copy.
But the prince’s character is benevolent, not someone who will attack Xia Sanniang, so...
Wang Yuan already had caress in his heart, and Wei Lan's words meant it was obvious. If the prince doesn't start, then find someone to help the prince start.
If these things were reported to Su Cheng by him, after the incident was completed, Su Cheng would definitely value him very much. Wei Lan is Su Cheng's companion. Since he has thought of this method, he will soon report to Su Cheng that he must do this in front of Wei Lan.
So Wang Yuan quietly left Shulin, Wei Lan still pretended not to know anything, and continued with Ranmo to get rid of Xia Sanniang's question.
When Wang Yuan was gone, Wei Lan relaxed and said, "Let's go, the banquet is about to begin."
"Shizi, what did you mean just now?" Ranmo's IQ can no longer keep up with Wei Lan: "I just deliberately said these things to Wang Yuan. Why?"
"I didn't give this to Wang Yuan." Wei Lan turned the small fan in her hand, with a lot of joy in her eyes: "I'm telling it to His Royal Highness."
At this moment, Wang Yuan must have gone to Sucheng first because he was afraid of her going to offer advice.
Wei Lan strode towards the banquet hall. After entering the room, almost everyone except Wang Yuan and Su Cheng arrived. Wei Lan and a few people exchanged cups. After playing for a while, Su Cheng came in lightly. Wang Yuan followed behind him, his face a little excited.
It seems to have spoken with Su Cheng, and it was praised by Su Cheng.
Wei Lan bowed with everyone, thinking silently in her heart.
Sioux City was obviously a little careless at the banquet, and seemed anxious to deal with something. In the afternoon, the banquet was over. Wei Lan speculated on Su Cheng's afternoon look and returned to the dormitory, and said to Xie Zichen: "Zichen, prepare now."
Xie Zichen was endorsing a book in the room. Hearing what Wei Lan said, he raised his head. Wei Lan leaned against the door and said with a smile: "The lower part of Languan Hall is in a hurry. I'm afraid I can't bear it anymore, so I came here to inform. ."
Upon hearing the words, Xie Zichen put down his book and said, "Thanks to Zichen."
With that, Xie Zichen stood up, that is, at this moment, the happened to appear in front of the room.
"Master Xie, your Royal Highness, please."
The said respectfully, Xie Zichen lowered his voice, attached to Wei Lan's ear, and whispered: "The prince will not accept my dissuasion, he will definitely insist on killing Sanniang, you can figure it out."
He breathed in and spit on the tip of her ears, and her heart suddenly rippled without knowing why.
But the person involved didn't know it. After speaking, Xie Zichen turned around and walked out with the eunuch. Wei Lan sat in the room thinking for a moment.
In the current situation, Su Cheng wants to kill Xia Sanniang, in order to blame the prince;
The prince really wanted to kill Xia Sanniang in order to frame Zhang Yushi;
And Zhang Yushi himself, because Xia Sanniang was indeed a stain on his life, he also sent someone to kill Xia Sanniang.
With so many people killing Xia Sanniang, Xie Zichen insisted on saving Xia Sanniang.
The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.
Wei Lan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
This time, Xie Zichen not only wanted to be a oriole, but also gave her a blue sky ladder, making her unintentionally become a oriole.
She couldn't help laughing.
This is really a great gift.
The author has something to say:
【small theater】
Mo Shubai: "What is the experience of engaging in political struggle with Xie Zichen?"
Wei Lan: "Desperate."
Mo Shubai: "Where do you start?"
Wei Lan: "Like a full-level tuba with a trumpet to fight monsters, there is no room for me to display my talents. So desperate"
Mo Shubai: "Oh, then you can fight on your own, or turn your head to hit this full-level one."
Wei Lan: "Where is there no despair in life? Let me despair."
The calculated prince Sucheng Zhang Huaisheng and others: "Paralysis...we are truly desperate!"
