Chapter 241: Martyrdom
"Second brother, I advise you to talk over your brain! Is it on me? "Wanyan Naqi seems to be smiling.
"Load me less!" Wanyan Zhuntai was furious, and grabbed Wanyan Naqi's clothes, "You ask those people behind me, they all saw it, that day the woman of the Western Dynasty under your command kidnapped me and snatched the seal from me." ”
"Really? Did you see that? The person who snatched the seal was one of my men? Wan Yan Naqi's eyes looked behind him, but those Black Water Ministers dodged their eyes, worried that the situation in front of them was unclear, and no one dared to open their mouths to offend people easily.
Immediately afterwards, Wan Yan Naqi stared at Wan Yan Zhun Tai's eyes, and said, "I still want to ask the second brother!" The second brother gathered so many people and prepared a seal, what is the intention? And if I'm not mistaken, it's only been two days since Father Khan returned to the heavens, and the second brother has been busy with "excessive grief" in the palace for the past two days, and he has no time to convene the ministers, which means that the time when the second brother summoned the ministers must have been before the death of the father Khan. ”
After a slight pause, Wanyan Naqi snatched the placket back from Wanyan Zhuntai's hand, shook his sleeves, and said jokingly: "Second brother, are you trying to usurp the throne?" ”
Wanyan Zhuntai was slightly stunned, and then his eyes were full of gloom, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I said it, it was my father Khan who instructed me to inherit the throne." ”
"Really?" Wan Yan Naqi's face was playful, "But don't forget, just now your good Eji is a bite to say that your father Khan's illness comes and goes quickly, according to what she said, the sickness is fierce and there is no time to ask a doctor to treat, so only to pass on the position by oral decree failed to let the official ghostwrite, such a hasty time, that is to say, the father Khan was not until the moment before his death, and he swallowed his breath after speaking, and before that, he did not promise to be with you Khan, and you could not get the seal before the death of your father Khan, and after the death of your father Khan, you were busy with "grief", When exactly did you summon the ministers, and what was the purpose of summoning them? And when did you gain and lose the seal? ”
As he finished expounding on this question, everyone turned their eyes to Wan Yan Juntai for an answer.
"I ...... I ......" Wanyan Zhuntai's expression was really out of control and panicked, and he looked at the aggressive Wanyan Naqi in front of him in a daze, and he was speechless for a while.
Lowering his eyes, his thoughts were confused, if he admitted that Jianyin was snatched away in front of this group of ministers before the death of his father Khan, it would be equivalent to confirming his charge of plotting to usurp the throne, and he still had a hunch, even if he admitted, Wanyan Naqi still had other tricks waiting for him, and he would never let him go easily, and he was likely to be accused of killing his father in front of the ministers. However, if he does not admit that he has seen the seal, then he cannot accuse Yan Naqi of possessing the seal, and can only admit that the note was written by his father Khan before his death, and according to the content, Eji has only the road to be buried!
What to do?
Wanyan Zhuntai fell into an extremely tangled dilemma, and raised his eyes with difficulty, only to see the little concubine with a handkerchief in her hand, looking at him with worried and overwhelmed eyes.
Everyone understands that it is a mother's deep dependence and trust on her son, she has nothing, if even her own son has to abandon her, then she has really lived in vain, it is too sad.
"Second brother, I advise you to answer after you think about it." Wan Yan Naqi had a smiling expression on his face, but in the depths of his eyes it seemed that there was a demon that devoured the heavens and the earth.
Wanyan Zhuntai looked at him, and suddenly woke up, the person in front of him was not the useless but good life-in-law he had been so jealous of, as if he had unknowingly fallen into a trap, and had become a plaything in his palm and a fish meat on the chopping board that he could cut at will.
Wanyan Juntai's heart was full of resentment and resentment, and he really had to make a choice between himself and his mother, and he felt that his heart was as painful as a knife.
For a long time, Wanyan Juntai's eyes carried deep guilt and looked at his mother.
The light in the little concubine's eyes suddenly became dull, and she understood his choice in an instant.
"Don't push him! It's my ......" The little concubine closed her eyes in despair, her body shook slightly, and she laughed sadly, and when she opened her eyes again, tears welled up in her eyes, "The old Khan King dictated to pass on the throne, and it was too late to hand over the seal to the second prince, so the second prince didn't see the seal at all, he slandered that it was the third prince who took the seal in order to save me, and only by putting the charge on the third prince can the son protect his mother from being buried." ”
In this way, everyone has a little more understanding of Wanyan Zhuntai.
"But the second brother just said that the ministers behind him are all witnesses! Doesn't the concubine think it's too contradictory to explain like this? Wanyan Naqi didn't let them go, and his cold gaze swept over the group of ministers who were standing behind Wanyan Juntai at a loss.
Wanyan Juntai was stunned, and his whole body began to stiffen and chill.
The little concubine looked at Wan Yan Naqi, and her eyes flashed with tears with determination: "I just said it, it's just that the second prince slandered you in order to protect me, and the reason why I said that there were witnesses was just to make everyone completely believe that you were harming me!" The second prince is just protecting his poor mother! ”
Wan Yan Naqi raised the corners of his lips slightly, and looked at the concubine quietly, so that people couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while.
There was a voice around him immediately: "Since the third prince's murder of the concubine was a misunderstanding, that is to say, the note that let the concubine be buried is the testament left by the old Khan King to prevent accidents, and according to the content of the testament, the little concubine should be funeral with the old Khan King!" ”
As soon as the words came out, the entire government hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the concubine.
Immediately, they knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Please follow the Khan's edict!" Please follow the Khan's edict! ”
At this moment, the little concubine stood in the center of the ministers, looked up to the sky and laughed silently, tears falling like torrential rain.
Such a mother made Wanyan Zhuntai feel distressed and guilty, and countless feelings of powerlessness to return to heaven turned into huge anger surging into his heart, and he roared angrily: "You group of dogs who should be dragged out and beheaded, Lao Tzu wants to let your corpses kneel at the foot of Baimian Mountain to apologize!" Why should I be buried? Why?! Why don't you go to the concubine? Her father Khan died, and as her original wife, she should stand up and preside over the overall situation, but what about her? Just hiding in the scripture building and chanting Buddha and chanting, leisurely, where is the slightest bit of enlightenment for the mother of a country? Why don't you let her be buried too? ”
The minister raised his head and said, "But the old Khan ...... The person named for burial is...... Concubine! ”
"You!" Wanyan Zhuntai's eyes widened angrily, and he was about to hit someone, but he was caught by Wanyan Naqi, who was standing on the side.
"Second brother, who here doesn't know that Father Khan's favorite thing before his death was your concubine Eji? Her burial is more suitable than anyone else, besides......" Wan Yan Naqi curled the corners of his mouth, "It is a supreme honor to be able to be buried for the king, not to mention that it was personally appointed by her father Khan, and the second brother should be proud of it." ”
Wanyan Zhuntai's eyes were vicious, and he couldn't wait to dismantle him and eat him immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the concubine was taken back to the palace by several guards to wait for the auspicious time to be buried, and sent more than 20 people to stay around the palace without sleep, saying that it sounds good to protect the safety of the concubine, in fact, it is surveillance, in order to prevent her from running away in fear of death, as long as the time for the burial comes, these guards will send in the things that will kill people.
Everything has become a foregone conclusion, the woman who once bullied the mother and son of the concubine everywhere and wanted to compete for the position of the concubine, at this moment, I am afraid that only emptiness and death of the heart are left with her, and she will soon go with Yan Yilibu.
A cold smile rose at the corner of the man's mouth, and the smile was mixed with ruthlessness to the bone.
Adong on the side couldn't help but worry: "Originally, as long as the second prince plotted to kill the Khan King was shaken out, the Khan throne would be in hand, but it was shelved because of the funeral, the third prince, should we let the second prince continue to win people's hearts because of a mere woman?" ”
"Don't worry!" Retracting his thoughts, Wan Yan Naqi glanced at the night outside the door.
At this moment, it is already late spring, but because of the harsh climate of the black water, there is no trace of spring, only the endless cold and dark like a secluded pool outside the door, and occasionally the roaring wind whistles by, making this night more and more lifeless and eerie.
"That woman is the most favored by the old Khan King during his lifetime, with her, even if I point out in front of everyone that Yan Zhuntai murdered the old Khan King, the ministers see that woman is the favorite concubine of the old Khan King, not only will they not believe it, but they will most likely think that I deliberately designed to frame him in order to compete for the Khan position from Wan Yan Zhuntai, and his heart can be punished, if so, it is better to get rid of that woman and never suffer in the future!"
Explaining it like this, Ah Dong remembered that the maid next to the concubine secretly moved the embroidery bag, and finally understood: "No wonder the third prince wants to order the secret power to quietly stuff the note that made the concubine buried into the embroidery bag, so it is!" So what's next? ”
"And wait patiently, instead of letting the story of Wanyan Zhuntai's father kill spread out of our mouths, it is better to let others be more convincing." Wanyan Naqi's eyes are deep, revealing the meaning of old scheming.
Ah Dong nodded as if he understood, and asked Yan Naqi again: "Then, what to do with the little lady who came from the Second Prince's Mansion to show goodwill?" ”
Recalling Wanyan Zhuntai's little lady, Wanyan Naqi's face unabashedly showed disdain and disgust, and sneered: "How can an abandoned woman who can't even look down on him deserve to stay by my side?" Just send it away and kill it! ”
"Kill?" Ah Dong repeated the question in surprise.
"What? Deaf? Wan Yan Naqi's face was chilling with majesty.
Ah Dong couldn't help but be stunned, and for a moment felt that something on his body had suddenly changed.
Ah Dong felt very puzzled, not because he pitied that woman's life, but even if he was disgusted with it in the past, he would leave room because that person was a woman, but now he felt that he had become arrogant and cold-blooded, and it seemed that he was no longer the third prince he knew.
After a long time, Ah Dong restrained the look of doubt on his face and respectfully clenched his fists.
was about to go out, and after listening to Yan Naqi's instructions: "Let people guard the Buddha Building in the middle courtyard for the past two days, and you must not let thieves take advantage of the chaos to enter the house and hurt Eji!" ”
Ah Dong immediately turned his head and bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, the third prince, with our secret potential, those people can't easily enter!" ”
After Yan Naqi nodded, Ah Dong retreated.
"Wanyan Zhuntai ......" The man pronounced the name with great disdain, a sneer slowly rose on his handsome face, his slender fingers pinched the horn cup close to his thin lips, raised his head slightly and drank the cold wine filled with the horn cup, and something called viciousness gradually spread under his eyes, like ink into water.
At the other end, in the second prince's mansion.
Wanyan Zhuntai anxiously paced back and forth, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and when the attendant came over, he hurriedly grabbed the attendant's arm and said in a panic: "Quick, send a message to the Gulan, just say that the situation in the city is threatening, please let them enter the city quickly to support me!" Otherwise, the sweat position will fall into the hands of Wanyan Naqi! ”
