Hearing the inquiry of the king of Chu, the queen of the south knelt down and said: "The king, the concubines are incompetent, so that the harem is restless, and there is such a tragedy as Wei Meiren, and the concubines are guilty." ”

Xiong Huai pulled Nanhou up again and said: "Wei Meiren's matter is the fault of the widow, and it has nothing to do with the queen. ”

Nanhou said: "The king has all the opportunities, and the harem is restless, is it the king's fault, there must be a villain who is troublesome, slandering in front of the king, so that the king has a misunderstanding of Wei Meiren." ”

"For the sake of righteousness, to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of Wei Meiren, in order to prevent others from having a fluke heart, please ask the king to severely punish the villain who is close to slander, so as to set an example."

Xiong Huai sneered and said: "The queen is too worried, Wei Meiren's matter is indeed a little wrong, just because of a misunderstanding with Wei Meiren, impulsively, and no one else slandered him." ”

At this time, Xiong Huai's heart was very entangled, not only resentment against Zheng Sleeve for framing Wei Meiren, but also dissatisfaction with his predecessor, as well as Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

Ten days ago, I just handed over my first time, and now I immediately turned my face ruthlessly, which seems a little unreasonable.

When the queen saw that the king of Chu was still covering up for Zheng Sleeve, she was a little puzzled.

According to her understanding of the King of Chu, the King of Chu is the kind of person who can do anything with a hot brain.

This is true for Wei Meiren, and the same is true for Qu Yuan.

Previously, Nanhou thought that the king of Chu had taken up the punishment of waste meat for the sake of Wei Meiren, so he must have regretted it very much, and he must have been very dissatisfied with Zheng Sleeve.

As long as you push it, you can abolish Zheng Sleeve.

It's just that I didn't expect that at this time, the King of Chu was still defending Zheng Sleeve.

This time, he didn't find out the mind of King Chu, which made Nanhou very suspicious, but the arrow was off the string, so he could only rush forward, and he couldn't turn back at all.

If Zheng Sleeve can't be defeated this time, with Zheng Sleeve's ruthlessness, after knowing what is happening now, he will definitely do everything possible to retaliate.

Now in terms of favor, the south can't compete with Zheng Sleeve.

There is a decision in the heart.

Nanhou immediately said with sadness: "King, you are the king of a country, how can you make such a mistake." If only the people of the country knew that their king cut off the nose of his most beloved woman on the spur of the moment, and then because of the spur of the moment, he modified the corporal punishment that had been handed down since ancient times. ”

"This makes the people of the country believe in their king, and this makes the ministers of my Chu state believe in their king. Because no one knows if their king will change his mind here because of impulse. ”

"And after losing the trust of the ministers and the people, how can the king rule the Chu State."

Nanhou said as she spoke, tears streaming down her eyes, and said: "King, if this matter spreads to other countries, how will the kings of other countries think of the king, and how can they trust the king, who knows if the king will be impulsive and will directly break off the relationship?" ”

"King, it's easy to gain someone's hatred, but it's hard to gain someone's trust. The same is true for countries, it is easy to break off relations with one country, but it is difficult to form alliances with other countries. ”

"King, as the king of Chu, how can you be a capricious and untrustworthy person."

"Please think twice, don't bear the name of untrustworthiness on yourself, lest you lose your trust in the world."

Seeing Nanhou knelt on the ground again, this time Xiong Huai froze and did not help her up.

Xiong Huai was stunned by the sudden outbreak of Nanhou, he didn't expect that these words would come out of Nanhou's mouth, nor did he expect that the matter of maintaining Zheng Sleeve would have such serious consequences.

Maybe there is a great exaggeration in Nanhou, but one thing is right, as the king of Chu, you can't all depend on your mood, and you make a decision as soon as your brain is hot.

After a while, Nanhou saw that the king of Chu did not respond, and suddenly burst into tears, and fell to the ground and wailed.

The voice is only miserable and sad, and it is very touching, and Xiong Huai wants to cry just by listening to it.

"Queen, why are you doing this?" Xiong Huai lamented.

Nanhou cried and said: "The king, the concubine is crying in Wei Meiren, she is punished in vain, she has no shame to see people, her heart is miserable, but it is difficult to tell others. ”

Nanhou's words suddenly made Xiong Huai think of the "Bai Zhou" that Wei Meiren heard when he first saw him, and remembered Wei Meiren's loneliness, and felt a faint pain in his heart, and couldn't help sighing: "What the queen said is extremely true, but the widow can't bear it in his heart." ”

When Nanhou heard that the king of Chu was relieved, she immediately said: "The king doesn't have to worry, the concubines are in charge of this matter." ”

Xiong Huai turned his back and said, "Alas, the queen can decide herself. ”

Seeing that the king of Chu turned around, Nanhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The concubine obeys the order." ”

Soon after Nanhou left, Xiong Huai sighed to himself: "I didn't expect the queen to know Wei Meiren's pain so well, but I was too selfish to forget Wei Meiren's tragic experience!" ”

As soon as he finished sighing, Xiong Huai was stunned and muttered to himself: "Why is this situation so familiar." ”

Xiong Huai remembered how Zheng Sleeve gained the trust of his predecessor and framed Wei Meiren in the past.

Then, seeing the tears left on the ground, I remembered how I had just cried to my ministers.

"I'm rubbing, good actor, Lao Tzu is impulsive again, but why do you say it again?"

Hearing an incomprehensible sentence coming out of the mouth of the King of Chu, Li Qiu immediately asked, "What does the king command?" ”

Xiong Huai came back to his senses slightly and asked, "Do you know what the queen will do with Madame Zheng Sleeve?" ”

Li Qiu was stunned, this kind of question was not easy to answer, so he could only shake his head: "Xiaochen doesn't know." ”

Seeing Li Qiu's answer, I don't know.

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "Go, immediately pass the widow's order to the queen, Mrs. Zheng Sleeve is stubborn and resentful, violates the decree, takes away the title of his wife, and demotes him to a concubine." ”

"Yui."

Li Qiu understood that this was the king of Chu to protect Zheng Sleeve, so as not to let her be poisoned by the southern queen, and immediately sent someone to pass on the command of the king of Chu.

After the herald left, Xiong Huai sighed and said, "Let's go, go to the Wei Meiren Palace." ”

At this time, Wei Meiren stood outside his palace, waiting left and right, and did not see the arrival of the king of Chu.

A hot heart gradually cooled down.

And Xiong Huai did not go to Wei Meiren because of the Zhaoyang incident and the blocking of the road by Nanhou.

"Look, beauty, the king is here."

Wei Meiren's maid saw the king of Chu coming from a distance and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Sure enough, the king is here." Wei Meiren's heart was a little cool, and suddenly beat violently a few times.

resisted the urge to run away, pinched the corners of his skirt with both hands, and stayed in place at a loss, watching the king of Chu get closer and closer.

Xiong Huai saw that Wei Meiren not only did not hide from him this time, but was actually waiting outside the palace for the first time, and he was immediately excited.

The pace under his feet couldn't help but speed up a few points, and he walked towards Wei Meiren.

Just when Xiong Huai could already see Wei Meiren's exposed eyes clearly.

Suddenly, a eunuch rushed over and reported: "King, I just got news from Ling Yin Zhaoyang's mansion, Ling Yin has woken up, and I hope to see the king." ”

Xiong Huai exclaimed: "Ling Yin has woken up!" What is Ling Yin's condition now, and has the Imperial Doctor sent back a message. ”

"Back to the king, the imperial doctor said that Ling Yin can't hold on anymore, and if the king wants to see Ling Yin, he needs to do it as soon as possible."

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, looked at Wei Meiren, and then looked at the eunuch.

Then he gritted his teeth and shouted at Wei Meiren who was not far away: "Beauty, wait for me, the widow has something important to do." ”

After shouting, he immediately turned around and walked quickly outside the palace, and instructed Li Qiu beside him: "Prepare the car, everything is simple, and go to Ling Yin's mansion immediately." ”

"Yui." Li Qiu responded.

Seeing the King of Chu turn around and leave, Wei Meiren's worried heart calmed down.

"King Chu, what's going on?" The maid asked anxiously.

Wei Meiren shook her head and did not respond.

At this time, the moment Li Qiu turned around, he glanced at one of his subordinates, and the person immediately understood and walked quickly towards Wei Meiren.

The man walked up to Wei Meiren and saluted: "I have seen a beauty, and the minister has come to report that Yin Zhaoyang is dying, and the king has gone to see Ling Yin for the last time." ”

When the maid heard this, she immediately said happily: "Beauty, the king has something important to do, not for other reasons." ”

Wei Meiren smiled when she heard this, but she didn't speak, but walked towards her house.

The maid hurriedly followed, and asked carefully, "Beauty, you shouldn't be angry with the king." ”

Wei Meiren didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Little kite, do you know what is the most beautiful?" ”

The maid Little Kite thought for a while and shook her head and said, "I don't know. ”

Wei Meiren looked up at the sky and said with a deep gaze: "The most beautiful thing in the world is a good memory, and only it will become perfect and beautiful over time." ”
