Seeing Liu Tangxi crying, Wei Hanzhou was frightened.

He didn't expect Liu Tangxi to react like this.

He held her and caressed her, stroking her back over and over again.

Liu Tangxi cried for nearly two quarters of an hour, and finally, she fell asleep while crying while hugging Wei Hanzhou.

Holding his sleeping wife in his arms, Wei Hanzhou had no desire to sleep at all.

The lady must have been wronged or afraid of something.

What is she afraid of?

He had noticed something was wrong with her since the day he came home after passing the imperial examination. Moreover, the closer they got to Beijing, the weirder she became. She didn't talk much, and would stare blankly at one place, or look like she was worried.

He had suspected before that his wife had not lost her memory and knew her own life experience.

But if this is true, many things cannot be explained.

For example, if the lady had not lost her memory, she was born in a marquis's mansion, and she was a legitimate daughter. Her parents missed her so much, why didn't she come back?

Moreover, the closer she was to Beijing, the closer she was to home. She should be happy, but why was she getting more and more nervous?

Judging from my wife's reaction today, on her way back to Beijing, she was more afraid than nervous or happy.

She seemed afraid to return to Beijing.

Moreover, according to his observation, the lady seemed to dislike everything in the Marquis's Mansion except her concern for her mother-in-law. Otherwise, she would not have mentioned it in front of him.

My lady is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. If she is not afraid of her mother-in-law, then she is afraid of others.

Who else can make my lady afraid?

The answer is obvious.

Lord Hou.

Or maybe it was the second young lady of the Marquis' Mansion, Liu Lu'an, who was more capable than the average man and made plans for the Third Prince.

The Marquis seems to feel a little guilty towards my lady, and has compensated her a lot. My lady should not be afraid of him.

So, what is she afraid of?

Wei Hanzhou thought about the incident where his wife was in the hands of human traffickers.

This matter should be the most important thing for my wife.

She was afraid, probably because of this.

He had investigated the matter of his wife being sold. He had just arrived in the capital and had limited resources at his disposal. After several months of investigation, he finally found some clues.

A few days ago, he found the coachman who sent his wife back home. According to the coachman's confession after being drunk, Liu Luan asked him to send Liu Tangxi back to the Marquis's Mansion, and did not ask him to sell her.

Then, this matter should have nothing to do with Liu Luan.

If it had nothing to do with her, who else would hate my wife so much that he would want to use the same method to sell her out to vent his hatred?

Moreover, even Marquis Huai En couldn’t figure out the truth of this matter.

Thinking in this way, people basically set their sights on someone who is more powerful than Marquis Huai En.

After coming to the capital for half a year, he had a pretty good understanding of the various forces in the capital.

Especially when it comes to people and things related to his wife, he knows them even more clearly.

There aren't many people who are more powerful than Lord Huai'en.

And those people are all powerful people, why would they bother with a little girl?

There are not many people who have a grudge against my wife, or who may want to avenge Liu Luan.

And even fewer are able to accomplish this.

The image of a person gradually emerged in Wei Hanzhou's mind.

Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Tangxi, who was lying in Wei Hanzhou's arms, suddenly shivered.

Wei Hanzhou felt so distressed that he gently stroked her back and whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your husband is here."

Gradually, Liu Tangxi's mood calmed down and he fell into a deep sleep.

Wei Hanzhou's hand was still caressing Liu Tangxi's back, but his eyes were cold.

The third prince?

If that person is really the third prince, many things seem to be explainable.

I heard that the lady liked the Third Prince very much before, and she often chased after him and deliberately showed up in places where the Third Prince was.

But the third prince likes Liu Yanan and is very impatient with his wife.

And the lady often bullied her illegitimate sister Liu Lu'an and destroyed the relationship between the third prince and Liu Lu'an.

The third prince therefore disliked his wife even more.

To be precise, the matter was that my wife wanted to sell Liu Luan, the third prince's favorite girl.

So, would the Third Prince sell her out for revenge, or to solve his wife's troubles?

And he also planned to sell it to a brothel.

Based on his understanding of the third prince, this man might be capable of doing such a thing.

Thinking of this, Wei Hanzhou's eyes were cold, like an ice knife, and the strength in his hands increased unconsciously.

He didn't realize it himself, but Liu Tangxi couldn't help but shudder again.

Wei Hanzhou quickly controlled the strength in his hands, hugged Liu Tangxi in his arms, and stopped patting her.

Even though the lady was wrong in this matter, the Third Prince was not without fault either. He had many ways to get rid of the lady's entanglement and make her give up, but he chose the most despicable one.

Such a person, even if he defeated the prince and became the emperor, would he be a good emperor?

If he couldn't be merciful to a weak woman, how about those ministers who had offended him? I'm afraid he would have to purge the entire line of the crown prince.

The prince is just stupid, but he is really cruel.

If this was really done by the Third Prince, then don't blame him for being rude!

Wei Hanzhou bent down and kissed the woman who was sleeping uneasily, and touched her cheek.

Coincidentally, he is just like the third prince. He will not allow anyone to step on the people he regards as treasures.

After thinking things through, Wei Hanzhou sniffed Liu Tangxi's hair, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

However, that night, Wei Hanzhou had a dream.

An incredible dream.

Before the hour of Yin, when it was still dark, Wei Hanzhou woke up from his dream with a start.

He slept for less than two hours.

Looking at his wife who was still sleeping in his arms, he suddenly couldn't tell whether the dream was real or he was in a dream.

Because everything before my eyes seems too beautiful, too beautiful to be real.

But that dream was full of Shura.

About an hour later, Liu Tangxi gradually woke up.

After waking up, Liu Tangxi was startled to see Wei Hanzhou staring at her with his eyes wide open.

"What...what happened?

?” Liu Tangxi asked in a low voice.

Perhaps because she cried so much last night, Liu Tangxi's voice was a little hoarse.

Wei Hanzhou didn't answer.

Liu Tangxi's eyes were a little swollen and he was feeling sleepy.

Although Wei Hanzhou felt a little strange, she didn't care much.

This was not the first or second time that Wei Hanzhou woke up earlier than her, so after being frightened for a moment, she calmed down and didn't think about it anymore.

She looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting light. It was still some time before Wei Hanzhou went to court, so she closed her eyes again. Then, she snuggled into Wei Hanzhou's arms, hugged his waist, and fell asleep again.

Wei Hanzhou looked at the woman in his arms who was like a kitten, and felt it was even more unreal.

How is this possible?

The same person does different things in his dreams.

Fairy or devil, which one is she?

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Tangxi regained consciousness.

She yawned, sat up from the bed, and said, "Lie down for a while, I'll make you dinner."

Wei Hanzhou still didn't answer and kept staring at Liu Tangxi.

When Liu Tangxi crawled over him, she instinctively lowered her head and wanted to kiss him.

But this time he dodged it.

Liu Tangxi was unhappy and opened her eyes to look at him.

But he was still staring at her with strange eyes.

Liu Tangxi was a little angry and snorted, "Hmph, if you don't want me to kiss you, then don't kiss me. Do you really think I want to kiss you? I won't let you kiss me even if you want to in the future!"

After saying that, Liu Tangxi took advantage of Wei Hanzhou's inattention, hugged his face and kissed him hard, leaving his face with saliva.

Seeing him frown, Liu Tangxi felt even more proud.

You won't let me kiss you? I'll kiss you anyway. Let's see what you can do to me.

Humph, if he does this again next time, she will kiss his neck and embarrass him.

After thinking about it, Liu Tangxi went to cook while humming a song in a good mood.

Wei Hanzhou, however, had a cold face and stared in the direction she left for a long time.

It only took Liu Tangxi a quarter of an hour to prepare the meal.

She had a headache from crying last night, so she didn't do anything fancy this morning and just served Wei Hanzhou shredded pork noodles.

She wasn't hungry at the moment, so she didn't make it for herself.

After finishing, Wei Hanzhou had already put on his court robes.

Liu Tangxi greeted him.

Wei Hanzhou came over with a sullen face to eat.

Liu Tangxi sat opposite him, holding his chin and watching him eat.

Then, she found that Wei Hanzhou was indeed a little different today than usual.

The way he looked at her was very strange, and his expression was a little uglier than before.

Could it be because last night...she cried so badly that it ruined the mood?

"What's wrong with you? Are you angry with me?" Liu Tangxi asked tentatively.

Wei Hanzhou paused while picking up the noodles, and without even looking at her, he said, "No."

"Why do I feel like you're acting weird today? But did I disturb you by not sleeping well last night?" Liu Tangxi asked again.

She thought, wasn't everything fine last night? He said those words to her before going to bed. He also comforted her softly, which made her feel very happy.

"No." Wei Hanzhou gave the same answer again.

Liu Tangxi stared at Wei Hanzhou for a while and thought, it looks like Wei Goudan doesn't want to tell her anymore.

She knew that he was a very tight-lipped person, and if he didn't want to talk, she probably wouldn't be able to get an answer.

In that case, he should just keep it to himself.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Liu Tangxi asked.

Wei Hanzhou pursed his lips and said, "Whatever."

Liu Tangxi glanced at him and said, "Okay, then how about fried eggs with ginger, fried potatoes with ginger, fried eggplant with ginger, and add more vinegar and more chili?"

Wei Hanzhou doesn't like eating ginger, nor does he like sour or spicy food.

Finally, Wei Hanzhou looked up at Liu Tangxi. However, he still said nothing. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, saying, "I'm done eating. I'm going to court now."

"Oh." Liu Tangxi responded.

Seeing Wei Hanzhou being so cold, Liu Tangxi didn't want to see him off anymore and sat in his seat without moving.

It was not until the sound of the door opening and closing was heard that Liu Tangxi stood up from his seat and went back to the room to catch up on his sleep.

Outside the house, after Wei Hanzhou got on the carriage, his face turned completely cold and he closed his eyes.

He just tried his best to be patient and didn't lose control in front of Liu Tangxi.

The dream I had last night came back to me again.

Too real.

He could clearly feel his mother's grief after his father's death, the frustration of his family being bullied by the villagers, Bosheng's stubbornness, Fuyao's bravery, and Shulan's crying. But he was too weak at the time and could do nothing but watch his family suffer.

After he became the top scholar, he met the culprit who caused his family to be destroyed in the capital.

It was learned that she was the legitimate daughter of Marquis Huai'en and the concubine of the third prince.

Moreover, he also knew that she ran away in order to find the third prince.

When he saw him, the disgust in her eyes made him still unable to calm down.

Her mother was kind-hearted and was deceived, so she saved her, but she deceived her mother.

If she had not deceived her mother, if she had not taken the opportunity to escape, her father would not have fallen ill, and her family would not have had to watch her father die because they had no money to save him.

If she had asked, he would have allowed her to leave, so that he would not be caught off guard and his father would not have died in anger.

In the dream, he took crazy revenge on her.

He stood on the side of the crown prince, and was hostile to the Huai'en Marquisate and the Third Prince at every turn.

However, he eventually lost to the Third Prince and Liu Lu'an.

He was very unwilling.

And she was executed by the Third Prince after he ascended the throne.

Oh.

Wei Hanzhou sneered.

Just as he was thinking about it, he arrived at the palace gate. Dongsheng stopped the carriage and reminded him, "Sir, we're here."

Wei Hanzhou stopped laughing, calmed himself down, put on a stern face, and got off the carriage.

As soon as he got off the carriage and walked for a while, Wei Hanzhou saw Prince Jian who was also attending the morning court.

Wei Hanzhou felt something strange in his heart and walked towards Prince Jin. However, before he reached Prince Jin, he said indifferently, "I have met Prince Jin."

The prince nodded indifferently, looking straight ahead without even glancing at him.

He strode past him as if he didn't know him.

Wei Hanzhou looked at King Jian's back in front of him, lowered his eyes, and continued walking forward.

The king.

In the dream, Prince Jian was killed on his way to Beijing by his personal attendant who had followed him for more than ten years. Not only Prince Jian, but also the little princess died not far from Beijing.

That was the tea shed where he and his wife rested when they came to Beijing.

From this point of view, the dream is really real. Because, if it weren't for my wife, the poison in the tea would not be dissolved. So, in this life, Prince Jian and the little princess will still die.

Who killed the King?

Later, Prince Jian and the Crown Prince joined forces to defeat the Third Prince and take the throne.

No, that's not right. The prince's goal was not to defeat the third prince, but to kill Emperor You. Later, the crown prince found out and the two sides broke up.

So, was Prince Jian killed by Emperor You?

Wei Hanzhou raised his head and looked towards the palace, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This court was even more turbulent than he had imagined.

Liu Tangxi went to see the shop as soon as he woke up.

Because of Wei Hanzhou's behavior, she had no mood to cook. Besides, the weather was sunny and hot today.

After going out, Liu Tangxi started strolling in the snack street.

We ate while walking, watched some street performers, listened to some books, and had a lot of fun.

Little did she know, two pairs of eyes were staring at her.

Liu Xuan'an made an appointment with the third prince to go to Huangming Temple today. When passing by here, he happened to see Liu Tangxi watching the acrobatics with a smile.

Seeing Liu Tangxi looking carefree, Liu Luan'an showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The third prince saw Liu Yan'an's eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Your vicious sister has become a different person now. Maybe she has suffered a brain injury. If you don't like her, find someone to sell her and make her stay away from the capital." The third prince said these fierce words lightly.

Liu Yunan lowered the curtain, turned to look at the Third Prince, and said, "That's not necessary. She hasn't caused me any trouble in the past few months since she came back. Maybe she really has lost her memory. If she doesn't cause me any trouble, I naturally don't want to bother with her."

The Third Prince held Liu An'an's hand and said affectionately, "An An, you are too generous. That's why you allow your sister to bully you."

Liu Luan smiled and said nothing.

"Where is your stepmother? I heard that she returned home. Is she behaving well recently?" asked the third prince.

Liu Luan thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's different from before. Maybe after the illness, I figured it out."

Of course, there are some things she left out.

This stepmother was indeed better than before, but she still targeted her a lot.

For example, she deliberately used good materials to make clothes for the three concubines and used inferior materials for her. Another example was when she went to pay her respects, she hinted in a sinister way that it was her fault that she got sick.

However, these were all minor matters, she didn't care about them, and she didn't want to tell the Third Prince about them either. Because she knew that if the Third Prince knew about it, he might do something else.

"Well, that's good. If she dares to harm you again, you don't have to endure it. This prince will definitely take care of it for you." said the third prince.

Liu Luan didn't want to mention these matters in the back house.

, and talked to the third prince about what happened in the court.

"We need to pay attention to the Crown Prince, and we must not let our guard down on Prince Jin's side either. I heard that Prime Minister Zheng went to Prince Jin's mansion yesterday..."

Liu Tangxi didn't know that the two people passed by not far from her. After eating and drinking, they went to a few shops.

After the tour, seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Tangxi ordered a few dishes directly from his own restaurant and had them delivered to Wei Hanzhou.

She didn't go back to cook, but ate directly in the restaurant.

Wei Hanzhou frowned as he ate the food in his mouth.

As soon as you taste this food, you will know that it is not made by my wife herself.

Is she angry?

Thinking about what happened this morning, Wei Hanzhou suddenly felt a headache and wondered how to coax her when he went back home in the evening.

Coincidentally, the second prince came to eat again.

This time, Wei Hanzhou generously gave the meal to the second prince.

Perhaps the second prince was tired of the food in the palace and thought the food outside the palace tasted quite delicious.

After finishing his meal, the Second Prince thought about the reason for his visit today and said, "Brother Hanzhou, let me tell you, Liu Tangxi is really not a good girl. You should divorce her as soon as possible, lest she corrupts you."

However, Wei Hanzhou suddenly turned cold and said, "Second Prince, please forgive me. I cannot bear the title of 'brother'. Besides, she is my wife. It is not appropriate for the Second Prince to say such a thing."

The second prince was shocked by Wei Hanzhou's attitude. Although he felt that Wei Hanzhou was cold before, it was only on the surface, and his heart was still warm. But today he keenly noticed that Wei Hanzhou was really cold.

"This...I'm doing this for your own good." The second prince continued.

"My wife and I are husband and wife. If you think my wife has done something wrong, then I have done something wrong too. I apologize to you here."

The Second Prince did not expect Wei Hanzhou to say such harsh words, and he was too distant from him. After all, he was still a prince, and seeing him like this, he did not want to bother himself any more, and turned around and left.

After dinner, Liu Tangxi didn't want to go home. Thinking that he hadn't seen Yin for a few days, he went straight to the Marquis' Mansion.

When Yin woke up and learned that her daughter had returned, she was very happy.

"Why didn't you ask someone to wake me up just now?" Yin complained.

Liu Tangxi ate grapes and said with a smile, "I come here often, and I'm not a guest, so why should I bother? You're not feeling well, so you should rest well. If I disturb your sleep, wouldn't that be unfilial?"

Yin smiled and nodded her head, saying, "You are really getting better and better at talking."

The mother and daughter sat together and talked about trivial matters in the house for a while.

When it comes to the fact that Liu Tangxi's half brother is about to have a child, Yin brings up the old matter again, "Your elder brother is about to become a father, but you, as the elder sister, have not made any move yet. Now that you have returned to the capital, you must get along well with your son-in-law. I think your son-in-law has a good temper, is smart, and looks first-rate. The child you will have will definitely not be bad."

Liu Tangxi almost choked. It was not easy to respond, so he remained silent and nodded.

"Bring some supplies back later."

Liu Tangxi had to answer this question, and said, "Mom, no need, my daughter is in good health."

Yin patted Liu Tangxi's hand and said with a smile, "You. Mother not only prepared it for you, but also for your son-in-law.

After returning from the farm, my mother started to prepare.

Liu Tangxi felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing this.

If she gave Wei Hanzhou some supplements, I wonder how Wei Hanzhou would react...

In the evening, Wei Hanzhou returned home early.

The carriage stopped at the corner of Wenqu Street.

After about a quarter of an hour, a familiar man was seen riding a horse, so Wei Hanzhou let the carriage continue to move forward.

When they got off the carriage, Huang Fucheng's horse just arrived at their door.

Although the two men were from different camps, they were officials in the same dynasty after all. When they met, they would at least say hello to save face for both sides.

"Huang Fucheng."

"Written by Wei Xiu."

The two of them were like this every time. No one talked much to the other. They just exchanged polite greetings and that was it.

Even when they were talking, Huang Fucheng was mocking Wei Hanzhou in a weird tone.

But this time, Wei Hanzhou suddenly asked, "I heard that Mr. Huang was beaten up yesterday. Is he okay now?"

Huang Fucheng was a little confused and asked in surprise, "I was beaten? When was I beaten? Wei Xiuzhuan must have heard it wrong. Or is Wei Xiuzhuan hoping that I would be beaten?" As he spoke, he started to act weird again and his expression did not look good.

Wei Hanzhou was still as calm as before and said, "Oh, you weren't beaten. I heard yesterday that you were beaten by the prince, and I was just thinking of going to visit you later. It seems I heard wrongly."

Wei Hanzhou never talks nonsense.

But today, she suddenly stopped and said something incomprehensible to him.

Huang Fucheng is not a fool.

The meaning of Wei Hanzhou's words was very clear and understandable.

"The prince is a humble person, I don't think he would do such a thing." Wei Hanzhou said again.

Thinking of how Wei Hanzhou had been summoned to the palace by the emperor yesterday, Huang Fucheng immediately straightened his face and said, "Thank you, Lord Wei." After that, he turned the carriage around and went somewhere unknown.

Wei Hanzhou withdrew his gaze, as if the words just now were not said by him.

Then he pushed the door open and entered the mansion.

However, after entering the mansion, Wei Hanzhou found that Liu Tangxi was not at home.

His face suddenly turned cold.

The author has something to say about the three princes: one is stupid, one is foolish, and one is cruel.
