Ink clouds weighing down the city.

By nightfall, the clouds in turn cleared, revealing the characteristic summer starry night.

The backyard of the Sikong residence, the Lotus Root Fragrance Water Parlor.

Built alone on the lotus pond, within a hundred paces there are no buildings and more than half a person high flowers and trees, no lights and no fire in the salon, in the darkness of the night to see, just like a long time no one lives in the house.

But under the frosty starlight, but see the water parlor waterfront railing, there are two people, wide robe and big sleeves, the head of the gold crown in the starlight refracted a little bit of light, silent relative to each other.

The night breeze blew over the lotus pond, bringing the fragrance of Nymphaea to the salon.

On the railing, every few steps, hanging insect repellent anti-mosquito medicine capsule, although the two stood still for a long time, only to feel the pool wind cool, pouring into the gown all over the body, not the slightest bit of hot summer pain.

It was only after a long time that a person opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, "I have already picked my words out to the Crown Prince!" This person spoke in a clear voice, and by the sound of his voice, it was clearly Wei Xin Yong!

"...... Well." Wei Xin Yong said a sentence after not saying much, and after a few moments, another person standing not far from him only faintly answered, the voice drifted, as if Song Yu Wang's mind, has long been out of here.

Wei Xin Yong also did not think, said "Su Xiuwei and Shen Zang Li so far did not take Yanzhou city, the emperor if he knows this, will be furious, then the Su family, the Shen family is afraid to be questioned; kneeling in the palace as well as the proposal to conceal the sea to take back Yanzhou, not to mention the master of the Imperial Palace, Stuart. So there are already four families involved. The Liu family urgently needs provisions in the city, even if the lieutenant and the Wei Yuan Marquis always have a gap, in the matter involving the Liu family life and death will not make a big mistake ...... any of these five, hope that the crown prince to ascend to the throne in advance is not surprising. Just why the first to move the intention will be Lord Sikong you?"

Song Yu looked at the lotus pond, faintly said "The world has been in chaos, my Song's family of books, even if there are private soldiers, but also can not be compared with Shen, Su, Liu three families. Now these three families are involved in the bureau, but only I because of the case outside, at this moment to sell them a favor, why not?"

"If that's the case, Lord Sikong should have conferred with the other five families, why did he flirt with the Crown Prince first?" Wei Xin Yong smiled a little, obviously not believing it at all, "Moreover, your love is married to the fifth son of Fufeng Hall, and is the future head mother of the Su family, so how could she not care about the safety of her mother's family? Furthermore, it's not like the Song Clan hasn't experienced the chaotic times and is still ranked among the six valves of the sea, how is it a family that needs to rely on other families?"

"This is one time and this is another." Song Yuwang remained calm and calm, and blandly said, "Nowadays, Jiangnan Hall's population is not prospering, I am the only son, and I have only two sons at my knees. The eldest grandson is still young and delicate, and the second grandson is just learning to walk. Moreover, my mother has passed away, although I have been robbed of my love, it is difficult for me to support myself, so I have to make good friends with all the families."

Wei Xin Yong said "This is also reasonable. This time Wei old lady deceased, Lord Sikong and in the border nephews are taken away from the love, and in the field nephews with their families to return to their hometowns to offer condolences ...... this large mansion, really empty."

When he said this, but he changed his words and said, "It's just that I still don't understand why Lord Sikong is flirting with the Crown Prince before discussing with the rest of the five valves?!"

"Whether one understands or not, is this not also what you would like?" Song Yuwang finally stopped looking into the pool and retracted his gaze, faintly sweeping Wei Xinrong, and not knowing if the starlight was too bleak, his gaze carried a hint of desolation, "Otherwise you would have gone and done this matter first, and then come back to ask me? Are you Wei Xin Yong such an obedient person? Not to mention that I am not your superior either!"

Wei Xin Yong smiled, "Lord Sikong has always stayed out of trouble, and I don't want to make a move that is such a big deal ...... I'm just curious." He narrowed his eyes, "Moreover, although I have had several joint moves with your love, yet I have not had much contact with Lord Sikong. Yet I don't know why Lord Sikong would seek me out this time to deliver a message to the Crown Prince?"

"A guest does not bother two masters." Song Yu Wang re-looked into the pool, faintly said, "At first the crown prince to the saint to offer plans, make Su, Shen two families out of the general, rate Liu's troops, this idea is not you out? Although the saint did not adopt, but you can let the crown prince strong admonition, afterward also without complaint, visible prince to you always have a few points of trust. If you are entrusted to speak, it is more reliable than others. I don't want to bother with the Crown Prince, so I naturally looked for you."

Wei Xinrong stared for a moment and said, "Lord Sikong really has good ears, I thought my dealings with the Crown Prince were rather hidden."

"It's hidden, but the Crown Prince was watched over by Empress Gu, and eight out of ten of the industries and manpower he can use . Nine are all watched over by the Empress." Song Yuwang indifferently said, "And I, once almost became the former crown prince's father-in-law, the things that the empress knows, I'm more or less still able to find out some."

"That's true, the crown prince is really too young, his birth mother and foster mother are both insufficient to compete with the empress, even if noble consort Deng is now on his side, however, the noble consort is actually not as shrewd as the empress." Wei Xin Yong shook his head and said, "What I'm curious about is, why is Lord Sikong certain that I will agree?"

Song Yu Wang smiled faintly, said "You give the idea to the Prince, and persuade him to kneel in the Dan Edward under the strong admonition followed by the Imperial capital up and down on the rumor that the Prince is worried about the country, for the sake of the world's people and the gods of earth and grain, do not hesitate to love concubines and their own children, but the Holy Spirit is full of old fools like this rumor, do you dare to say that you did not move treasonous and immoral thoughts. You dare to say that you have not moved the thought of treason?"

Wei Xin Yong laughed ''Since Lord Sikong has said it this far, what more can I say? Just the imperial army under the command of the empress's family, now the crown prince is not the empress's son, the empress will certainly urge his brother to watch over the palace city! And within the palace city, although the emperor is old and confused, decades to the emperor has a group of loyal old people. What's more, the Empress is also afraid of the retaliation of the Crown Prince after his ascension to the throne ...... Lord Sikong asked me to pick the words to the Crown Prince is picking, but I do not know, what to do next?"

"Didn't you say just now that of the six valves in the sea, the other five valves have reasons to participate in this matter?" Song Yuwang faintly said, "Eating alone however is not a good habit."

Wei Xinrong smirked, "In that case, it's me who's going to run the errands again?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince also trusts you the most nowadays, doesn't he?" Song Yuwang still said indifferently.

When ...... the stars in the sky were bright and dark, and only a few stars were still hanging high in the sky, Wei Xinrong proposed to take his leave.

Song Yu Wang indifferently nodded his head to indicate that he knew, and then continued to look at the lotus pond with his hands on the lotus pond, at this time the day is about to dawn, on the lotus pond, the pavilion of flowers and leaves can be glimpsed in silhouette.

He heard Wei Xinrong's clogs tread gradually away on the wooden floor of the corridor outside the water pavilion.

Just as Wei Xinrong was about to turn the corner and disappear from his sight, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

From the corner of his eye, Song Yuwang saw him turn his head and couldn't help but frown slightly, and was about to speak when he heard Wei Xinrong say in a meaningful tone, "I've heard that the plantains planted outside Lord Sikong's study are very good."

A light sentence, but it made Song Yuwang's face, who had been calm before, as if he was light-hearted and indifferent to everything, change abruptly!

He turned his head violently, staring angrily at Wei Xinrong with almost instant crimson in his eyes!

A dozen or so steps away, the high-crowned Wei Xinrong with the same burning eyes with him, actually did not have the slightest intention to back down!

He said in a slow voice, "I abhor such a thing."

Song Yuwang hissed, word by word, like a blade "You, still, want to, say, what, what?"

"I will let the Crown Prince do it himself!" Along with Wei Xinrong's words, Song Yuwang, however, suddenly calmed down after a few moments of death-like silence, Song Yuwang suddenly let out a long, pale laugh!

After laughing for a long time, until the dawn had broken in the sky, Song Yuwang raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, shook his head, and said hehely, "Do you think that I'm asking you to pick on the Crown Prince at this moment for the sake of this? Wrong wrong wrong, what I really want to do is to come myself!"

Wei Xin Rong hehe laughed, but turned around and continued to leave, until after his figure turned the corner and Song Yuwang couldn't see it, his last words floated over, "Dare not serve?"

From the corner door familiarly out of the back door of the Sikong residence, Tiger Slave personally drove the car and waited in a hidden place in the alley.

When Wei Xin Yong got into the car, Hu Nu handed him ginseng tea for him to drink, looking at the car under the lamplight in the handsome eyebrows in the haggard hard to hide, the loyal servant boy couldn't help but persuade "Your Excellency, even if you have something to discuss with others, or try to choose the daytime? Talking all night long from time to time really hurts your body."

"No harm done." Wei Xin Yong drank the ginseng tea, his face looked better, and faintly instructed, "When you go back, send the rewards to Eunuch Sun, who is under the heel of the saint, as well as the court judge of the Imperial Hospital."

"Yes." Tiger Slave answered, thought for a moment, really couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency came to the Imperial Capital and planned hard, even going so far as to sell many of the Mengshan Jade mines to the Shen family at a low price, and only then did you manage to raise the silver money that you have nowadays. Why did you take out nearly half of it this time with Eunuch Sun as well as the court judge, but only for a few pulse cases? After all, the saint is comatose, even if the news that the imperial body is not in good health is not rumored, this world is already in chaos."

Wei Xin Yong heckled, closed his eyes and said, "The world is in chaos, but the ones who take care of this world have been the Taishi and others for decades, what does it have to do with His Majesty? Besides, what I'm doing is not for the world, it's for Song Sikong!"

He sighed lowly, ''Weiqi is also old in years, although there are dark currents in the dynasty today, but in case the saint can still drag on for a few more years, could it be that I should watch Weiqi end up in peace? How is this possible! I can't wait ...... and among the six valves the only one who can't wait more than me is Song Sikong, a mere several hundred thousand taels of silver will allow Song Sikong to regicide the king, is this price still not cheap?"

Tiger Slave was surprised, "Song Sikong?" He was puzzled, "Why would Song Sikong want to kill the king?"

"Do you remember Song Zaitian's repudiation of his wife?" Wei Xin Yong laughed silently and said wearily, "What kind of clan are the Six Valves of Hai Nei, and would they not tolerate a repudiated daughter under their door? Even if the Duanmu family was biding their time at the time, they would never tolerate such humiliation. For this matter, the Imperial Master Duanmu Sheng had personally begged Song Sikong for leniency, and the Imperial Master was still Song Sikong's elder. But even so, Song Sikong didn't allow it. If only for Duanmu colorless not virtuous ...... Song Sikong's person, and his identity, will not be with a daughter-in-law to this point? Which of these could not have no inside information!"

Tiger Slave subconsciously said, "What inside information?"
