The two were talking, but Ying Chu suddenly thought of something very important. He looked at Empress Pei and tentatively said: "Empress, don't forget that there is another key person in this matter."

Pei Hou's eyebrows sterned and said lightly: "Are you talking about Concubine Lian?"

Ying Chu replied seriously, "Yes, the girl said is exactly this girl. The Empress knows that this concubine is born like a fairy and has a good background. With a little means, she will hold the Prince's heart tightly. If we don't beware of it, she may provoke the relationship between the Prince and the Empress in front of the Prince. At that time, things will be out of control!"

Queen Pei looked at Ying Chu and frowned and said, "So what should you do according to your wishes?"

Ying Chu's eyes showed a cold light and he said mercilessly: "Of course we should get rid of her!"

Pei Hou smiled slightly: "Isn't Tuoba Xu still in your hands?"

Ying Chu shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that Weichen just learned that Tuoba Xu is not the biological son of Concubine Lian. She had already changed the child early on the road. In a moment of negligence, she was deceived by her. The so-called Tuoba Xu in our hands is just an ordinary peasant son, and he has no use value at all and cannot be used to threaten Concubine Lian."

Pei Hou frowned slightly, then stretched out immediately, and smiled slightly and said, "I really couldn't imagine that this concubine Lian was also quite thoughtful."

Ying Chu lowered his head and said lightly: "She is an ally of Li Weiyang, so she will not be a fool. Because of this, she cannot leave such a woman with His Highness the Crown Prince. I want to ask the Empress to give in and allow me to use my own method to get rid of this woman."

Empress Pei smiled even deeper and said, "I remember you had already taken action? You were stopped by the prince. What else do you have to do now?"

Hearing this, Ying Chu was not worried: "Weichen underestimated this woman at first, but now he will not do this. Head-on battle will only damage the friendship between the Empress and the Crown Prince. We can only attack from the side. For example, from the Crown Prince..."

Empress Pei raised her eyebrows and looked at Ying Chu quietly: "You are right. The Crown Princess is a good chess piece. OK, I'm sure now, you can do it."

"Yes, don't worry, Empress, I will do it beautifully!" Ying Chu covered up a hint of sneer that was not easy to detect, and then he slowly retreated.

Empress Pei watched Ying Chu leave, and her expression slowly calmed down. The close female official beside her whispered: "Empress, Lord Ying's move..."

Before she finished speaking, Pei Hou glanced at her and said with a smile: "Ying Chu is loyal to me and always makes me feel relieved when doing things. But the relationship between him and the prince has never been very harmonious. I know you are worried that I would love Ying Chu too much, but instead have a bad relationship with the prince. But he is the most capable confidant around me after all. Do you want me to expel Ying Chu just because the prince is unhappy?"

The female official quickly lowered her head: "I don't dare, I believe the empress has a deep meaning!"

Empress Pei stood up, embroidered the phoenix tail with pure gold thread on her long skirt, and shining at this moment. She sighed softly: "If the prince is as capable as Ying Chu, I don't have to be so cold to him. How simple is it to kill people? Unfortunately, he can't even do this."

In the Duke of Qi's mansion, Wang Zijin visited in person. Li Weiyang invited her to sit down. Zhao Yue presented a cup of tea. Wang Zijin hurriedly took it and said with a smile: "Come today, Jiaer, don't you think I'm reckless, do you?"

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "It's me that I'm rude. I should have posted a post to Miss Wang long ago."

Hearing this sentence, Wang Zijin smiled deeper, but just shook his head with a smile, "When talking about the post, I have looked at you several times, but I have never seen you participate."

Li Weiyang remained silent: "You know I don't like those parties."

Wang Zijin's smile was a little more cordial than just now: "I know this naturally." Then she stood up and bowed: "Sister is here, please forgive me for my mistakes in the past, and don't remember them in my heart."

Li Weiyang was stunned, quickly helped her and whispered: "Miss Wang, get up quickly, this is a mess."

Wang Zijin suddenly turned pale and said, "I grew up in the mountains. I am innocent since I was a child. I am noble and arrogant. I always think that there is no woman in the world who can surpass me. I also look down on Jiaer, the weird way you are good at and regard it as a lower-class thing. But after experiencing so many things now, I can understand it. Jiaer, you are really better than me! This time I sincerely admit my mistake to you. If you refuse to accept my gift, it is obvious that you don't want to be good to me, and I will not dare to come to the door again in the future!"

When Zhao Yue saw this scene on the side, she couldn't help but understand that Wang Zijin was indeed a smart person. In front of everyone, she formed an alliance on behalf of the Wang family and Li Weiyang. She turned her back and apologized to Li Weiyang alone to gain favor. This woman was really scheming.

Of course, Li Weiyang understood, but heard Wang Zijin's sincerity this time, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'm afraid of you, you'd better get up first."

Seeing that Li Weiyang was not as restless as a young man, Wang Zijin seemed calm and introverted, and couldn't help but pay attention to it in his heart and smiled and said, "In this way, don't call me Miss Wang and Miss Wang again, just call me Zijin."

Li Weiyang thought in his heart that although this prince Jin was a little narrow-minded, he was a wonderful person. If he had formed an alliance with her, it would be a good thing to both worlds, but it was not easy to control the other party. Thinking of this, she had changed her affectionate name: "Zi Jin, don't be so polite, I dare not be!"

Wang Zijin hesitated before sitting down and said, "Jia'er, I heard you were assassinated in the mansion last night."

Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "The incident happened suddenly, and I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly."

Wang Zijin hurriedly said, "Jia'er, don't get me wrong. I didn't send anyone to stare at the Duke of Qi's Mansion, but the noise last night was too big and everyone around me already knew about it."

"There is no airtight wall in the world, and I don't want to hide it." Li Weiyang obviously didn't care. "Yes, there was indeed an assassin who wanted to assassinate last night. Fortunately, the guards at the Duke of Qi's mansion were not scarecrows, so they wouldn't let the other party get a bargain."

Wang Zijin nodded and had a gentle smile on his face: "So, Jiaer, you should be more careful from now on, and don't let people take advantage of the loopholes!"

Li Weiyang also smiled faintly: "This is natural, thank you for your concern."

Wang Zijin immediately remembered something and said, "And something happened yesterday, about Ying Chu..."

Li Weiyang's eyebrows were still bright and brisk: "Do you know that Ying Chu was thrown into the moat?"

When Wang Zijin saw that Li Weiyang mentioned this matter but was not abnormal, as if he was indifferent to him, he couldn't help but be surprised: "No! He was obviously thrown into the moat last night, and he was a person who had already died. Why did he enter the palace with a swagger this morning?"

The Wang family's spy was really unusual. Li Weiyang lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "It's not just him, the person who wanted to kill me yesterday was also him."

When Wang Zijin heard the voice as cool as ice and snow, he was surprised and said, "How is this possible?"

Li Weiyang had a ruthless indifference on his face and ordered Zhao Yue to say, "Take the hidden weapon for Zijin to take a look."

Zhao Yue immediately responded when she heard this, and soon took the hidden weapon that she had taken off the guard yesterday for Wang Zijin to show him. Wang Zijin looked at it lightly, and his expression immediately became solemn: "This hidden weapon seems to be highly poisonous."

Li Weiyang's expression was slightly upset: "It's very toxic. All the people who stick to it have their faces and their skin is rotten. No matter how good the doctor is, they have no medicine and food. They will die in a moment or three moments."

Wang Zijin's expression became ugly. She kept staring at the hidden weapon and seemed to remember something. She couldn't help but say to Li Weiyang: "Jia'er, don't blame me for not reminding you that this Ying Chu is proficient in witchcraft and is the most harmful to others. I'm afraid this poison is not something that ordinary people can solve. Don't obey his words!"

Li Weiyang waved his hand, and Zhao Yue took the tray down, and then she said softly: "I will be more careful."

However, Wang Zijin's eyebrows did not relax, pretended to be dead and assassinated. She had already linked the two things together and shook her head and said, "It turns out that Ying Chu pretended to be dead on purpose to make you careless."

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "It's much more comfortable to talk to smart people. Yes, Ying Chu's actions are to attract me to the trap. A person is always easy to relax his vigilance when he is proud, but he didn't expect me to make some preparations in advance. After all, there is no perfect solution in this world. How can I relax my vigilance without confirming with my own eyes that he has died? Are you right?"

Wang Zijin sighed softly: "This Ying Chu is an amazing person! No wonder countless people want him to die for so many years, but he is still alive. But if we want to get rid of Pei Hou, the first object we need to eliminate is her left and right hands, but what should we do to succeed?"

Li Weiyang smiled softly and said, "As for this, we need to rely more on His Highness the Crown Prince."

When Wang Zijin heard this, his face suddenly changed: "Crown Prince? Are you really sure?" Looking at Li Weiyang, she shook her head again, "I don't know what you are trying to do, but I'm afraid this time it will not be so easy. His Highness the Crown Prince has already killed Ying Chu once, and it may be difficult to let him take the second move."

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Zi Jin, I want to ask you a question."

Wang Zijin was stunned, looked at Li Weiyang and said, "What's the problem?"

Li Weiyang said lightly: "I heard that cats are afraid of chili peppers. How can I let the cat eat chili peppers?"

Wang Zijin thought for a moment and replied, "Put the pepper into the cat's mouth. If it refuses to eat it, it will stab it in with a sharp object."

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "The best way is to rub the peppers on the cat's buttocks. When it feels hot, it will lick the peppers off by itself and be excited about doing so. Isn't it great to completely turn passive into initiative?"

Wang Zijin was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and couldn't say a word for a long time. She thought carefully about what Li Weiyang said, then looked down at the beautiful tea soup, and finally sighed: "The master once told me how to do the game, and I always wanted to know what to do is the most clever one. You are right, using tough methods and deception methods are not smart. It is best to let someone voluntarily enter your game. It seems that I really lost!" As she said that, she put down the tea cup, bowed to Li Weiyang solemnly, and said: "I will not betray you again from now on. I hope our cooperation will last for a long time."

Li Weiyang looked at the other party and just smiled softly. She never believed that she would have eternal friends. Now the slower she said, the more hesitated he would betray him. But she just helped Wang Zijin up and said with a gentle smile: "Of course I believe in you. I hope that after things are done, we can sit together and taste tea."

Wang Zijin looked at the bowl of tea, but seemed to show a faint bitter smile and said softly: "Since the goal has been achieved, I should leave. If you have any plan to deal with Ying Chu, I will cooperate at any time."

Li Weiyang nodded lightly and said, "Since Zijin insisted on leaving, I don't want to stay for more. Let's go slowly and don't send me off."

Seeing Wang Zijin leaving, Zhao Yue walked up to Li Weiyang and said, "Miss, are you doing this today to shock her?"

Li Weiyang smiled normally: "Wang Zijin is a very smart woman, but smart people have a bad habit of being arrogant. I just hope she knows that there are people outside of people and there is a reason for heaven. Only by convinced her can she stand on my side completely. It is not wrong to say that it is a shock. After all, I still need the strength of the Wang family. At critical moments, they can help me and make me more beautiful!" She said this, but she smiled.

In the afternoon, Li Weiyang was taking a nap in the room, but Zhao Yue hurriedly walked in and handed her a note.

Li Weiyang glanced at it, his eyes slightly froze: "It's Leng Lian, she wants me to make an appointment with me now."

Zhao Yue was stunned and said, "Now? Didn't you say that if there is no need to meet, don't meet easily?"

Li Weiyang chuckled and said, "It seems she is in big trouble!"

Li Weiyang could imagine that Leng Lian was in trouble. Ying Chu Wei died, and the first person to be killed was Leng Lian. He would never allow Leng Lian to stay with the prince, so Leng Lian can't sit still now! Of course, this is an excellent opportunity, and Li Weiyang will definitely not miss it. So she really went to the appointment. In the elegant room of that temple, she successfully met the panic-faced concubine Lian.

As soon as Concubine Lian saw her, she immediately walked up, her voice almost hoarse, and her heart was even more confused, and she seemed to have no idea what to say.

Li Weiyang quickly helped her up and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Leng Lian's body was trembling, as if she was extremely afraid. Two lines of tears were left in her eyes. She grabbed Li Weiyang's hand and said unyieldingly: "My death has come to you, Jiaer, you must save me!"

Li Weiyang looked at her, and a hint of clarity appeared in his eyes: "Leng Lian, are you afraid that Ying Chu will settle the score with you?" Once he instigated the prince to kill Ying Chu, he failed. Leng Lian was afraid in her heart, and now she was even more afraid than the last time.

Leng Lian grabbed Li Weiyang's wrist tightly and almost grabbed a blue mark: "The prince couldn't kill him! Jiaer, you don't know how terrifying that person is. The way he dealt with the guards beside me was horrifying! I've never seen such a terrible person. If he missed a blow this time, he would definitely kill me!"

Li Weiyang smiled gently, helped Leng Lian up and let her sit down aside, gently wiped her tears, and told Zhao Yue to go down and get a cup of hot tea to stuff it into her hand. Then he said lightly: "Leng Lian, you have come over many strong winds and waves. When the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, you never fell down; when Tuoba was forced to expose his identity in a hurry, you never fell down; when Tuoba Yu was framed and resentful, you never fell down! Now you can't bear the face of a small Ying Chu and a minion beside the empress dowager?"

Leng Lian's teeth chuckled, and she was obviously extremely scared. She looked at Li Weiyang and said, "But, but you don't know how scary he is!"

Li Weiyang was slightly afraid of the back of her hand and said, "Of course I know that he is scary, but so what? Have we lost over the years?"

Leng Lian suddenly felt a little calm when she heard this sentence. Then, she took a sip of tea under the instructions of Li Weiyang, and felt that warm feeling drove away the chill in her heart. Then she raised her head: "What should I do now?"

Li Weiyang smiled and looked at the other party and said, "I heard you are pregnant?"

Leng Lian was stunned and then said nervously: "Actually, I am not sure yet... it's just that the little days have not come, and it's true that ten is true."

Li Weiyang laughed and said, "Whether it is true or false, isn't this the best life-saving talisman?"

It is not that easy to count on a child who has not yet been born to save his life! Leng Lian shook her head desperately: "I'm afraid that the prince will not be able to save me. I will sooner or later win him!"

Seeing that the other party was extremely frightened, Li Weiyang quietly retreated and became quiet and gentle: "It's not that easy. You are the one who is favored by the prince. He is now incompatible with the prince, so of course he will not want to get rid of you blatantly. The most important method is to kill people with a knife, and you can also use this knife to survive in the opposite direction!"

Leng Lian was surprised and looked at Li Weiyang and said, "What's your solution?"

Li Weiyang smiled: "The opportunity will be back soon, you have to seize it."

Leng Lian nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I will do everything as you told me."

Li Weiyang's voice was low and his eyes looked faint: "You have a deep blessing and a god will help you. No matter how Ying Chu wants to kill you, you will be lucky to be in heaven."

Leng Lian was originally in a state of confusion, but when she heard this sentence, she suddenly calmed down. She looked at Li Weiyang, and a trace of trust appeared in her expression. Although Ying Chu was a cruel character, Li Weiyang was always outside the gates of hell with one foot and was never inferior to the other. Maybe she could at least save her life by relying on her.

Now Leng Lian regrets that she has been involved in this battle, but it is too late to regret it now. She is the one who promised Ying Chu to take the opportunity to try it out, and she is the one who approached the prince with Li Weiyang's hand. She is the one who enjoys the glory and wealth and refuses to leave easily. Now she has to bear the consequences. No one can be favored by God for no reason! She understands this too much, so she has to agree to Li Weiyang's conditions and hesitate slightly: "What should I do now?"

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "The enemy will not move, you will not move, wait."

The word "wait" pierced Leng Lian's heart like a sharp sword. She looked at the other party, and Li Weiyang did not retreat at all. She looked at her, her eyes were quiet and unconscious. Leng Lian didn't say anything for a long time, and finally just nodded.

The next day, the prince had just left the palace, and the guards were already in a hurry and came up in panic and said, "Your Highness, Miss Leng has been taken away by the Crown Princess!"
