Yiguang was immediately taken back to the palace, and as she had expected, the dagger avoided the heart, and although it was badly wounded, it was not life-threatening.

Although her life was safe, she had shed too much blood, and as soon as she returned to the palace, she fell into a deep sleep, and when she awoke it was dark outside the window, presumably after a night's sleep.

"Awake?" A low voice suddenly sounded in her ears, which startled Yiguang, and when she looked up, there was a tall voice beside the bed, although there were candles lit in the room, but because of the backlight and standing against the light, she couldn't see the person's face clearly, she could only judge by the voice, "King? ”

"It's okay, it didn't hurt my brain." The husband sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "Drink it?" ”

Looking at the wolf in his husband's hand, Yiguang said tentatively: "The king has always been here?" ”

The husband said a little uncomfortably: "Don't ask so much, hurry up and eat it." As he spoke, he handed over the bowl, but he was the king of a country, and he had never waited for anyone, and he knew how to feed the herbs, and he got stains everywhere, so he had to let the palace maid come in and feed the herbs.

After the palace maid retreated, Yiguang suddenly chuckled, and the husband frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"The slave maid saw the king's helpless appearance for the first time, and it was very ......" Yiguang thought for a while before he thought of a suitable word, "Interesting." ”

Fucha was said to be blushing, but fortunately the light in the room was dim, he coughed lightly, and said: "You have a big heart, you were almost killed by bandits, and you are in the mood to laugh at this king." ”

Hearing this, Yiguang's face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "It is not a thief who kills slaves and maids. ”

"Why do you say that?"

Yiguang stretched out his hand with great difficulty and pulled out the necklace he was wearing around his neck, on which there was a white jade wrench, which was given to her by her husband before, "If it is a bandit, how can you not snatch this wrench?" ”

The husband was stunned and hesitated: "Maybe...... It's that they didn't find out. ”

"No, it won't." Yiguang shook his head and said: "The slave maid thought that the messenger came in from the same countryman when she was in the Yue Kingdom, but after leaving the palace, she found out that she didn't know that person at all; You think, my lord, how can a person who has never known know the whereabouts of the slave's father? ”

When she said this, the husband also felt suspicious, "What about the back?" ”

He took the slave and maid all the way out of the city, and the more the slave and maid thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong, and they wanted to go back, but the result was ...... He suddenly stabbed him with a knife, and the slave felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he didn't remember what happened after that. ”

"Why did he want to kill you, what kind of enemy do you have?"

"The slave doesn't know, as for the enemy...... Yiguang smiled bitterly: "The slave and maid is a humble Yue girl, what kind of enemy can there be, if you have to say that there is, unless it is ......" Halfway through the words, she showed fear and closed her mouth tightly.

Seeing that she didn't say anything longer, the husband asked, "Unless it's something?" ”

Yiguang shook his head uneasily, "No...... It's nothing. ”

The husband couldn't see that she was deliberately concealing, and said, "Don't you want to find your murderer?" ”

Yiguang looked at him and said timidly: "Of course I want to, but ...... The slave has no evidence, and based on speculation, I am afraid that the innocent will be wronged. ”

"Whether it's innocent or not, this king will send someone to investigate, you just have to say it." At the urging of the husband, Yiguang said with a "helpless" face: "It is true that the slave and maid have never had a grudge against anyone, but this is not the case in exchange for peace, and not everyone is willing to treat Yue Nu as well as the king." ”

The husband thought about it for a while, and he already understood, "You mean Wu Xiangguo?" ”

Yiguang shook his head and said, "The slave is not sure, but ...... Xiangguo-sama has always disliked slaves. ”

The husband's face changed uncertainly, and after a while, he said indifferently: "Xiangfuzhi really doesn't like Yue Nu, but he won't be able to buy murder, don't worry about it, don't say it again in the future." So saying, he said, "Rest well, this king will come to see you tomorrow." ”

When he walked out of the house, Fucha's face instantly became gloomy, and his eyes were as cold as a cold pool.

Speaking of literature, as soon as he returned to the house, he immediately rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found a royal blue piping belt in a rosewood cabinet, this is Zheng Dan's good girl red, this belt is given by her, he didn't need it for a while, so he left it here.

Wen Chong stroked the fine stitches on both sides of the belt and muttered, "It's exactly the same." ”

This belt is exactly the same as the handkerchief that Gongzishan carried with him, whether it is the needle technique, the stitches, and the thread, plus the word "Zheng", he can be sure that it must be from Zheng Dan's hand.

It's just that...... How could Zheng Dan's veil be on Gongzishan?

One is a beauty who was left out in the cold, and the other is the second son of the royal family, which has nothing to do with it, unless ......

Wen Chong looked at the belt, and a strategy gradually took shape in his mind, compared to the disobedient Yiguang, Zheng Dan's chess piece may be better used.

No one knew what Wen Chong was thinking, and he didn't tell anyone, and since then, he began to deliberately befriend Gongzi Mountain, who has a simple temperament, and Wen Chong is a person with a delicate tongue and a clever tongue, and he soon became acquainted with each other, and often drank and climbed the mountain together.

Yiguang's resurrection from the dead did not arouse Wu Zixu's suspicions, but she was lucky and escaped.

Although he regretted that he couldn't kill Yiguang, he didn't rush to do it again. First, the latter was recuperating in the palace, and the husband could see it again, and it was difficult to start; Second, he was busy with the autumn drought and couldn't spare time for the time being.

After thinking about it several times, Wu Zixu adopted Fan Li's suggestion, and at the same time transferred grain from Yue to store it in the granary, he also collected a large number of seeds, reclaimed wasteland, and expanded planting.

Winter goes to spring, as Fan Li said, this is a good spring, spring wind and rain, spring rain, moisturizing the land of drought for an autumn and winter, but also indicates that this year will be a bumper year.

What Wu Zixu didn't expect was that until the end of spring, none of the seeds that had been sown had sprouted, and after digging up the soil, he found that the seeds had already rotted.

All of a sudden, people were panicked, and at this time, a saying came out of nowhere, saying that when Wu attacked Yueguo, he killed too many people, and then refused to treat the Yue people well, and the heavens were angry, so disaster fell.

When Wu Zixu heard about this, he was furious, thinking that someone was misleading the public, and immediately sent someone to investigate strictly, but he couldn't find out.

Sow seeds every spring and harvest in autumn, so as to ensure that the people have food to eat, and now the spring sowing fails, which means that there will be no grain to harvest in the autumn, and when the time comes, there will be a large-scale famine, which is the pain that Wu can not bear.

The husband naturally heard that he was dissatisfied with Wu Zixu, so he took advantage of this incident to reprimand him fiercely and asked him to try to remedy it immediately.

Wu Zixu has to deal with the reprimand of his husband, and he has to think of a remedy, he is anxious all day long, and everything else is easy to say, but this grain and grass problem is really fatal.

The people take food as the sky, and the state of Wu seems to be strong, but in fact, because of the continuous war, it has already been strong outside and dry in the middle, and if there is another famine, it will inevitably be chaotic.

If the husband listens to him, kills the king of Yue, and completely annexes the Yue country, he can replenish the treasury and granary, so as not to be so passive, and blame Bo Ya for the villain who misled the country.

The only way to do this is to transfer grain from the Yue country, although it will cause dissatisfaction among the people of the Yue country, but at the moment the food and clothing of the people of Wu State is the most important thing.

After learning of Wu Zixu's plan, Fan Li took the initiative to ask for help, willing to go to Yue to transfer grain, Wu Zixu agreed to his request after thinking about it.

First, Fan Li was an official in Vietnam, and he was familiar with the situation in Vietnam, which was convenient for negotiations; Second, since Fan Li defected to Wu State, he should contribute.

When Fan Li set off for Yueguo, Wen Chong also quietly started his plan. On this day, as usual, he asked Gongzi Mountain to climb the heights to drink, and when they were talking happily, he suddenly lowered his eyebrows and sighed, looking depressed.

Gongzishan put down his wine glass and said suspiciously: "Why does Brother Wen Chong look like this, but what happened?" ”

Wen Chong refused to say at first, until Gongzishan asked again and again, and then said: "It's okay to go down, but I'm worried about Zheng Niangniang in the palace." ”

Childe's eyebrows moved, "You mean...... Zheng Meiren? ”

"yes." Wen Chong looked at the red maple forest outside the pavilion, and said in a deep voice: "Two days ago, I learned that Zheng Niangniang was not only grounded in Mingfeng Palace by the king, but also refused to give up by those beauties and talents, and often made things difficult in secret. ”

Gongzishan said suspiciously: "I have also visited Zheng Meiren a few times, and it looks okay, not as Brother Wen said." ”

Wen Chong smiled bitterly: "Zheng Niangniang is kind by nature, and she doesn't want outsiders to worry about her, so she didn't know it at first, but she only knew it when she asked someone to send something in." After a pause, Wen Chong said: "Zheng Niangniang was born poor, and after coming to Wu Kingdom, it was even more difficult, until she met below to settle down a little, and she has always been taken care of as a sister in the next, but unfortunately ......" He sighed: "The palace wall is high, and I can't do anything except occasionally ask someone to send some things." ”

Gongzishan had a secret love for Zheng Dan, and Wen Chong's words made him feel even more pity, so he said: "Brother Wen Chong, don't worry, I will go to Mingfeng Hall to visit Zheng Meiren more, as for Brother Wang, I will also try to persuade him." ”

Hearing this, Wen Chong showed joy, but he was soon covered with sorrow, and shook his head and said: "The second son has a good heart, but it's a pity that he can help for a while, but he can't help for a lifetime." Besides, the hearts of the people in the palace are sinister, and the second son's good intentions fall into other people's mouths, I don't know what will become of it, and maybe it will affect the second son. Speaking of this, he sighed again: "That's it, maybe this is her fate, destined to be lonely for a lifetime." ”

The more he said this, the more reluctant Gongzishan became, and couldn't help but say, "Is there really no other way?" ”

"Yes, but ......" Wen Chong looked embarrassed, and didn't say it for a long time, Gongzishan hurriedly urged: "Since there is a way, hurry up and say, don't swallow and spit out." ”

Wen Chong gritted his teeth and said: "The king has a deep prejudice against Zheng Niangniang, and it is impossible to want the two of them to release their previous suspicions, and as for those talented and beautiful people in the palace, it is impossible to want them to be kind-hearted; So the only way is to let Zheng Niangniang leave the palace, so that it can be truly peaceful and peaceful."

Gongzishan was taken aback, "Do you want Brother Wang to demote her out of the palace?" ”

"Nope." Wen Chong shook his head and said: "In the past, on the shore of Taihu Lake, the king welcomed Zheng Niangniang into the palace in a beautiful manner in front of the people of the whole city, and canonized the beauty. Moreover, it will also cause dissatisfaction among the Yue people; It is precisely because of various considerations that after learning the truth, the king did not demote Zheng Niangniang from the palace, how can he bring up the old matter again? ”

Gongzi Shan bowed his head, and said suspiciously: "Why did Brother Wen say that he would let Zheng Niangniang leave the palace?" ”
