"Get out of the city …" Dong Tianleng sneered again and again. In the next moment, he slammed his palm heavily on the table and said, "Right now, tens of thousands of eyes are watching the entire Jinling City. How are you going to send him out of the city?"

Seeing him so angry, Wei Jin quickly kneeled down and prostrated himself on the ground, saying in fear, "This official … This official will be very careful, I definitely won't … We won't be discovered! "

"Not allowed to be discovered?" Dongfang Wenyi smiled back at him, "Haven't we done enough to cover this matter carefully? What happened in the end?" Or is Uncle unhappy that the matter has not been brought up enough and that he has to be brought back to us once more? "

"This subject would never dare to have such thoughts." Wei Jin hurriedly argued, then looked eagerly at Dongfang Ru. "Um …" What should we do, we can't really hand over Wen Bin, right? "

After a long while, he stopped his footsteps and called Wei Jingcheng in. He pointed at Wei Wenbin, who was feeling anxious, and said, "Take him to your place and lock him up. We'll wait until he's done."

Wei Jin heard the determination in his words and panicked. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Wen Bin and you have grown up together and he is even more respectful to Your Majesty. You can't just ignore him!"

"I didn't say that I don't care about him. Imprisoning him in the Jing Zhao Prefecture Prison was just a temporary measure. I will think of a way to save him."

"Yes." Although Wei Jin was reluctant to let his son go to the damp and gloomy prison, he had no other choice. As for Dongfang Ze, he used words to explain it to him.

After they had all left, Wyon called for someone to bring the charcoal and ignited the censer. Amidst the smoke, he said to Dongfang Fei, who was sitting there with his eyes closed, "Your Majesty, actually, there is still a way to save Lord Guard."

Dongfang Shao smelled the Calm Incense lingering around his nose and slightly opened his eyes. "You mean you don't recognize Wei Wenbin?"

"That's right, as long as we don't admit the identity of the lord, the people can do nothing about it." That's right, as long as we don't admit the identity of the lord Wei, the people can't do anything about it.

"I'm afraid they'll keep it in mind." After letting out a long sigh, Dong Fang stood up tiredly. "Let's go. To the Ning Longevity Palace."

"Yes!" Wynn quickly responded. He took the oil-paper umbrella to block the drizzling rain from the sky and walked all the way to the Peace Life Palace.

Even so, her hands and feet didn't feel very comfortable, and she even felt waves of stabbing pain occasionally. The imperial physician had said it was an old habit of his, but none of them could do anything about it except use a warm handkerchief to ease the tingling feeling in her hands and feet.

On this day, Yin Qiu was helping Empress Dowager Wei by opening up her hands when she saw Dong Fang push open the door. She smiled at the half-closed Empress Dowager Wei and said, "Look, Empress Dowager, His Majesty has arrived."

Empress Dowager Wei perked up and opened her eyes. She looked at Dong Fang, who was wiping off the water stains on his body, and said amiably, "Why did you come here on this rainy day? Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

Dongfang Fei smirked and said, "It's just a little bit of rain, don't worry."

Empress Dowager Wei's gaze swept over him a few times before saying to the palace servants, "There's nothing for you to do here. All of you can leave now."

When only the few of them were left in the hall, Empress Dowager Wei asked, "Is the emperor troubled?"

Dong Fang Qian laughed bitterly. "There really is nothing that can be hidden from Imperial Mother."

Empress Dowager Wei smiled. "Speak, what's the matter?"

Empress Dowager Wei's expression was exceptionally solemn when she heard Dongfang Cong talk about Wei Wenbin. After a long while, she asked in a low voice, "How does the Emperor plan to handle this matter?"

"This is precisely the reason why our son is here. The matter of Wen Bin's death has been made known to everyone. No matter how much we try to deny it, it is just a matter of hiding our ears and stealing the bells."

As soon as he spoke, Empress Dowager Wei understood what he meant and her pupils constricted. "You want to kill Wen Bin?"

Dong Fang Qian let out a long sigh. "My son knows Wen Bin is his uncle's only son, but this matter has blown up too much. The people are furious, so even if it's my son …" I can't suppress it either. "

"Indeed. If we don't kill Wen Bin, it would be hard to calm the hearts of the people." After thinking for a moment, Empress Dowager Wei asked, "Has he ever come before?"

Dongfang Chonglou knew that she was asking about Wei Jin, so he immediately said, "Not long after Wen Bin entered the palace, his uncle came. He wanted to take Wen Bin away, but his son stopped him. Can the Queen Mother help to persuade my son? "

Yin Qiu said awkwardly, "Lord Wei is the sole son of the Wei Hou. I'm afraid even if the empress dowager speaks, it'll be hard for him to loathe her."

Without waiting for Dongfang Qian to speak, Empress Dowager Wei already gave a cold snort. "Even if you don't want to, you still have to. You can't go down with the emperor just because of one of his sons!" At the end of the day, Wei Wenbin was only a nephew. In the Empress Dowager Wei's heart, it was impossible for her to be on the same level as Dong Fang, who had painstakingly pushed himself up the throne, for over twenty years.

"Yin Qiu, send someone to the marquis' residence to pass the message that Acropolis City's Jin is here to see This Dowager." After Yin Qiu had gone down to spread the word, Empress Dowager Wei asked, "Do you know who it was that secretly tripped him?"

"They should be Duke Rong and the others. We'll have to check who they are before we know. It's just that …" Dong Fang Qian said in a heavy tone, "Because of this, we've lost over a dozen experts. Glazed Workshop doesn't have enough people left."

Empress Dowager Wei took off the handkerchief in her hand that had already cooled off. She caressed her reddish joints and said coldly, "It's the God's opportunity camp again. It won't work if this goes on."

Dongfang Qian remained silent. The God's opportunity camp was like a sturdy chain, firmly binding their hands and feet. They knew it, but there was nothing they could do about it.

"This can't go on." Empress Dowager Wei lightly tapped her finger. After a long time, she said to Wyon, "Go and see if Yin Qiu has returned. This Dowager has something to tell her."

"Yes." After Wyon left, Empress Dowager Wei gestured for Dong Fang to approach and whispered a few words into his ear. The latter listened carefully, then nodded and said, "Your son understands, and will do as her mother says."

"Success or failure, this is the only move. We must make it a safe one. We absolutely cannot be like this time."

Dongfang Cong agreed and hesitantly said, "Imperial Mother has purposely let Huai En go. Do you suspect Huai En?"

"Until this matter is investigated, everyone is suspicious, and Wynne is no exception." Empress Dowager Wei's eyes were ice-cold. "This Dowager didn't eat too much of the hardships of those around me back then!"

Dongfang Ru nodded, and after chatting with Empress Dowager Wei for a while, she left the palace. Not long after, Wei Jin was ordered to come. Before he could say anything, tears began to flow down his face.

Empress Dowager Wei gave him a glare. "Enough. You're already an old man, yet you still cry so easily. This Dowager's even getting anxious for you."

Wei Jin raised his sleeves to wipe his tears as he choked with sobs. "Empress Dowager, you must save Wen Bin!"

"The emperor has already spoken to This Dowager. How would This Dowager not want Wen Bin to live, but …" She sighed. "How do you want the Emperor to explain this to the people of Jinling?"

Wei Jin hastily added, "His Majesty is a Ninth Five. As long as he says it, how could those troublesome citizens dare to disobey?"

Empress Dowager Wei was both angry and amused. "Big brother, do you really think the emperor can cover the sky with one hand in Jinling City?
