Volume 3 Life History Chapter 29 The guilt of King Nanmian

The King of Nanmian withdrew his gaze from afar and landed on Bei's stunning face.

He was silent for a moment and then asked, "Wang'er, I heard you say last night that you worked as an errand in the Daming Palace, so are you very familiar with Concubine Yun in the palace?" ”

Bei Juese shook his head and said, "It's not very familiar." Actually, Concubine Yun and I have only met two or three times. ”

King Nanmian then asked: "Then, is she doing well in the palace of Daming?" ”

Bei Juese thought for a while and said, "I heard that Concubine Yun has always lived in a simple house, and rarely interacted with people in the palace. But she still seems to be doing well, and besides, I heard that the two queen mothers treat her and her daughter Princess Chaoxia well. ”

King Nanmian breathed a sigh of relief with a little comfort, and said, "That's fine." ”

Bei asked puzzledly: "Why did my father suddenly ask about Concubine Yun?" ”

King Nanmian sighed and said, "Concubine Yun and my father have grown up together since childhood, and our relationship is like that of brother and sister, even better than many brothers and sisters. We grow together, we share all the happy or unhappy things together, and we can even do it without talking and having no secrets. Concubine Yun has always treated her father very well and trusted her father very much, but in the end, her father did something very sorry for her. ”

King Nanmian paused and sighed again. East Invincible and North Absolute Didn't interject, just quietly waited for him to say what was going on.

Back then, the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty took a fancy to her and wanted to take her as a concubine. Knowing that she was unwilling, her father gave her to the Ming Emperor as a concubine despite her opposition in order to consolidate the diplomatic relations between Nanmian and the Ming Dynasty. She didn't say a word on the day she got married, and she didn't look at anyone before following the people who came to welcome her into the palace. Later, when I heard that the Ming Emperor loved her very much, my father's uneasy heart was a little better. However, within a few years, the news of the death of the Ming Emperor came, and the person who came back with the news said that after the death of the Ming Emperor, she was almost dragged to be the emperor's funeral object, but fortunately she had just conceived the dragon seed at that time to escape death. After hearing the news, her father felt even more indebted to her. King Nanmian lowered his head, "Over the years, my father has written a lot of letters to her to express his apologies to her, but she has never replied. Maybe, she is still angry in her heart that her father betrayed her back then. ”

After King Nanmian said this, a guilty expression appeared on his face, and he fell silent and looked down at his toes.

Dong Wushu glanced at King Nanmian and asked, "King Nanmian, speaking of Concubine Yun, I suddenly have a question I want to ask." You grew up with Concubine Yun, so do you know if Concubine Yun can do martial arts? ”

King Nanmian shook his head affirmatively and said, "Absolutely not, she is a person who doesn't even have the strength to kill chickens." ”

Dong Wushu didn't answer his words directly, but just asked, "Then has King Nanmian ever heard of the poison of Nine Heavens Xuanbing?" ”

King Nanmian thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "No." He looked at Dong Wushu with some confusion, "Why did Dong Gongzi suddenly ask this question?" ”

Dong Wushu said: "Because, junior brother, he was born with a poison called Nine Heavens Xuanbing, and the poison was given when he was still in his mother's womb, and that kind of poison is harmless to women, and it is fatal poison to men." ”

King Nanmian asked in surprise, "What?" Wang'er, he was poisoned before he was born? ”

Dong Wushu said: "That's right. I learned that the Yun family in Nanmian is a family of witch doctors, not only proficient in medical skills, but also very good at studying various poisons. ”

King Nanmian said: "Do you suspect that the poison was given by Concubine Yun?" Impossible, Yun girl, she can't do such a thing! She had no motive to poison her at all! The people of their Yun family are basically medical idiots, only obsessed with studying pharmacology and making various medicines; Moreover, the people of the Yun family have never been involved in politics, even if whoever inherits the throne in the future will have no impact on them. Poisoning the prince's child is not good for her at all, and it is not good for the Yun family, why should she poison it? ”

Dong Wushu said: "What is the motive, I don't know. However, junior brother, he hasn't told you that he was assassinated and almost died when he was in the Daming Palace, right? ”

"What?" King Nanmian was stimulated again.

Dong Wushu said: "The martial arts used by the person who assassinated him are not the martial arts of the Central Plains, and the person still has a smell of fish sauce on his body. Ordinary Ming people rarely use fish sauce, and only Nanmian people prefer to use fish sauce. In the palace of the Ming Dynasty, only Concubine Yun and her palace people are from Nanmian. ”

King Nanmian frowned and said, "It is even more impossible that Yun Yatou did it." How can a person who doesn't know martial arts stab someone else, and has the ability to almost kill someone? Dong Gongzi, this must have been done by someone else, you must be suspicious of the wrong person. He turned his head to look at Bei Juese, "This kind of thing happened back then!" Wang'er, my father will definitely find out who did it. ”

After that, he glanced at Dong Wushu again, and said, "Dong Gongzi, this king will investigate this matter thoroughly, and before the truth of the matter is revealed, please don't do anything that damages Concubine Yun's reputation." There was a clear command in his tone.

King Nanmian obviously firmly believed that Concubine Yun was a good person, and he would not allow others to say that the good person was not. Perhaps it was emotion that prevailed over reason, and thus firmly chose to believe that Concubine Yun would not do anything bad; However, it is undeniable that what he just said, especially the paragraph about the Yun family, somewhat shook Dong Wuving's previous speculation. Previously, Dong Wushu had speculated that the Yun family might want to gain more power, intending to control the regime and interfere in the government, so he wanted to make Concubine Yun the crown princess and strive for the position of future queen, and even more to achieve the goal at the expense of poisoning the lord of Yuehua. But now it sounds like the people of the Yun family are not involved in politics, and killing the Lord of Yuehua County does not have any benefit to them, and it is unreasonable to bother to kill people so much without benefit. However, his intuition told Dong Wushu that Concubine Yun was still the most suspicious murderer. It's just that there is no way to figure out some details in the middle for the time being, and there is no further evidence and clues to prove whether his guess is correct.

In such a situation, it is not wise to continue to stick to your own guesses. So, Dong Wushu smiled casually and said, "It seems that I guessed wrong." Please forgive King Nanmian, I am just too concerned about the affairs of my junior brother to make so many unnecessary guesses. ”

King Nanmian's face softened a little, and said, "It's not too early, Wang'er, let's go back." ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Dong Wuyi, took Bei's hand, and walked inside.
