On the side of the Jiang River, Mu Ranyue ordered someone to take a pot of water from the river, and then asked Du Zhong to check it.

After a while, Du Zhong frowned and said, "Niangniang expected that it was right, this water is indeed poisonous." And this poison is extremely poisonous, and it only takes a little bit to completely destroy the river. ”

Mu Ranyue asked lightly, "As far as you can see, how much poison is still left in this river?" ”

"Back to my mother's words, there shouldn't be much left in this water, and it may not be enough to be dissolved in a few days, after all, the flow of this river is not small."

"That's good, the most important thing now is to find out the person who poisoned him."

Du Zhong nodded: "Niangniang is very right. ”

Nangong Jinchen said: "Go to the county office." ”

As soon as he stepped into the county office, he saw Wang Jianwei kneeling down in horror and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is incompetent, the person who was arrested just now...... Committed suicide by taking poison. ”

Nangong Jinchen's eyes sank, but in just a few hours, he committed suicide by taking poison?

He sneered in his heart, it's almost the same as killing people.

He said coldly, "Take me to see." ”

"Your Majesty, this ......" Wang Jianwei's face was embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable.

Mu Ranyue was puzzled: "What?" Any questions? ”

Wang Jianwei said hesitantly: "After the inspection, he said that the poison was contagious, and Wechen was afraid that the corpse would be transmitted to others, so Wechen ordered someone to take the corpse ...... Incinerated. ”

Mu Ranyue was shocked, is it contagious? What else could there be but this plague? Could it be that the man was also poisoned?

But she quickly denied this speculation, this is absolutely impossible, just now she saw that this person was ruddy, full of energy, no matter how he did not look like a person infected with an epidemic, not to mention that the plague could never kill people immediately.

Because he asked, "Do you know what kind of poison you have been poisoned in?" ”

A trace of panic flashed in Wang Jianwei's eyes, "This ...... Wechen asked for an autopsy at the time, so he didn't find out what poison he was in, according to Niangniang's words, Wechen thought, is it the plague that Niangniang said? ”

When the words fell, Nangong Jinchen seemed to glance at him inadvertently, and he immediately lowered his head.

Mu Ranyue said: "Lord Wang, as the commander of Gaoping County, has witnessed this plague with his own eyes, has Lord Wang ever seen anyone who died on the spot after being poisoned by the plague?" ”

Wang Jianwei's face instantly turned red, and he bowed his head and said: "Yes, it is Weichen who is not thoughtful, and the mother forgives the sin." ”

"Since you don't even know what kind of poison it is, why is Lord Wang in such a hurry to burn the corpse?" Mu Ranyue's face was angry.

"This ...... Weichen was also afraid that the poison on his body would infect other people, so he ......" Wang Jianwei hurriedly defended himself, but this point of justification went back and forth.

"Afraid of contagion? Isn't Lord Wang even quarantined? ”

"This, Wei Chen was anxious for a while, so he didn't think of it for a while...... And Weichen thought that if the other person was dead, it would be worthless. ”

Mu Ranyue said coolly: "People are worthless when they die? Even it seems that Lord Wang's county order is really incompetent. Knowing that there was something wrong with that person, he didn't even send someone to guard it, and let him commit suicide by taking poison, and he couldn't say what kind of poison he was taking, and he was in a hurry to burn the body after he died. ”

Nangong Jinchen showed an approving look in his eyes, but today's Mu Ranyue surprised him a little.

Wang Jianwei immediately knelt down as soon as his legs were weak, looked at Nangong Jinchen and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen is really wronged, Wechen admits that he is indeed at fault, but Niangniang's words, Wechen really dare not admit it." ”

But I heard Nangong Jinchen say coldly: "The queen's intention is my intention." ”

His eyes widened suddenly: "Your Majesty? ”

"Han Sheng."

Han Sheng immediately stepped forward and handed the things in his hand to Nangong Jinchen.

Nangong Jinchen instructed: "Give these to Wang Xianling." ”

Han Sheng answered, Wang Jianwei took the case file in Han Sheng's hand suspiciously and a little scared, unfolded it, and suddenly his face was like ashes, and he collapsed to the ground.

Mu Ranyue was a little surprised, and curiously took the case file.

"Dyeing and dyeing ......" Nangong Jinchen wanted to speak and stopped.

She opened it and looked at it, gradually revealing a look of disbelief, her hand was weak, the case file fell to the ground, and murmured: "This, how can this be?" Brother Huang, he actually ......"

She thought that Mu Xuanche was cold-hearted and ruthless, but he was also a person who put the overall situation first, after all, he was an ambitious and ambitious emperor, but he would do such a despicable and vicious thing, just to regain Gaoping, and at the same time to ruin the reputation of Nangong Jinchen and Yunguo.

Nangong Jinchen patted her shoulder with some distress, and said: "Dye, now that you are the queen of the Yun Kingdom, you have nothing to do with Mu Xuanche, not to mention that he once poisoned you, and you and him no longer have any brother-sister friendship." ”

Mu Ranyue nodded with some difficulty, and said: "I know, I only have hatred for him, I just feel sad for my father and the Chu State." ”

The father didn't even see his true face at the beginning, and the Chu State had such a cruel and cold-blooded emperor.

Nangong Jinchen hugged her and comforted her silently.

Then, Han Sheng took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, "Your Majesty, this is also from Wang's mansion, Wang County's order is very secret, so his subordinates suspect that there is something wrong with the contents of this bottle." ”

Nangong Jinchen glanced at Du Zhong, and Du Zhong immediately took the small porcelain bottle and shook it gently, and there was powder inside.

He took out a handkerchief, poured the powder from the porcelain vase on it, and began to examine it.

After a while, he reported in astonishment: "Your Majesty, this is a bone dispersion, and in less than a quarter of an hour after taking it, a person can completely stop breathing. ”

Nangong Jinchen sneered: "Mu Xuanche gave it to you?" Want you to poison me with this? ”

Wang Jianwei looked sluggish, and forgot to defend for a while, perhaps because he didn't want to argue. But he didn't understand why in just two days, Nangong Jinchen had found everything out clearly, and this dissolution was obviously something he only got yesterday, Nangong Jinchen was able to turn it out so quickly, it was really not simple.

He smiled bitterly, and didn't plan to quibble, and said with a dead face: "Since Your Majesty already knows, then if you want to kill or chop, Weichen will listen to it." ”

Nangong Jinchen frowned slightly, and said, "In order to protect the people of Gaoping, you gave up Gaoping to Yunguo, why can you do such a hurtful thing now?" ”

"Hurt the heavens?" Wang Jianwei sneered fearlessly, "The minister has never felt that what he has done hurts the heavens and reason, the minister is originally from the Chu State, and it was not the minister's intention to give up Gaoping at the beginning." And the minister understands that he is not afraid of running out of firewood to stay in the green mountains, so he has been waiting for an opportunity to let Gao Ping return to Chu. ”

"So, you want to join forces with Emperor Chu to brutalize the people of Gaoping like this?" Mu Ranyue said bitterly, there are so many lives, how did they do it.

"Yes." Wang Jianwei looked at her directly, his eyes were full of contempt, "The queen mother was originally the princess of Chu State, and she was loved by thousands of people, but now she betrayed her mother country for a man, you are really not worthy of the favor of the emperor, let alone the princess of Chu State." ”

Mu Ranyue was silent, a touch of pain flashed in her eyes, indeed, she felt guilty about her father.

However, she doesn't have much affection for the Chu State, and in her heart, these three countries should be one country. But this is the country that her father has worked hard to maintain, and she should also protect it, but Mu Xuanche's ruthlessness and Nangong Jinchen's favor have made her heart completely biased towards Nangong Jinchen.

Nangong Jinchen could see the entanglement and pain in her eyes, and his heart was also mixed.

Mu Ranyue was silent for a long time, and said expressionlessly: "After marrying into the Yun Kingdom from the main palace, she is no longer the princess of the Chu Kingdom. ”

Wang Jianwei sneered a few times, "Hehe, yes, married to her husband, Her Royal Highness the princess really left herself clean." ”

Mu Ranyue didn't want to entangle with him, so she didn't speak with a cold face.

And Nangong Jinchen waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward to escort him out, Wang Jianwei's face was indifferent, and he seemed to have put everything aside.

After returning to the post house, Nangong Jinchen asked, "What do you think I should do with this matter?" ”

Mu Ranyue smiled and said, "Didn't Your Majesty already have a decision in his heart? Why do you want to ask me? ”

Nangong Jinchen was slightly stunned, and then showed a smile of praise, but said, "But I want to hear the meaning of dyeing." ”

She looked at him fixedly, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, "Your Majesty is testing the concubine, the princess of the Chu Kingdom?" ”

At the same time, there was a deep disappointment in her eyes, as if she had already decided that this was what he meant.

Nangong Jinchen's heart panicked, and she hurriedly hugged her

Her shoulder said, "Dye, what do I do to you, do you still have doubts?" ”

She tilted her head to the side and said, "You are very good to me, but when it comes to national affairs, I'm afraid it's a different matter." ”

He fell silent suddenly, his eyes drooping, but there was a deep sense of frustration in his eyes, why, she couldn't believe that he would think about her, she couldn't believe the weight of her in his heart? In his heart, she will always come first, and nothing can surpass it.

Seeing this, she suddenly hugged him tightly, tiptoed to his ear and whispered: "Okay, I'm just joking, why should you take it seriously?" ”

His body suddenly stiffened, "dyed ......"

Mu Ranyue let go of him and pulled him to sit down again, but her face was a little lonely: "You said that I should not doubt you, but why do you doubt my heart for you?" ”

"No, I've never ......"

"Really? If you really know my heart, why do you think I don't understand you? What I said to the dog county order today, do you think I'm just talking about it casually? ”

"Dog county order? Dyeing can be reserved. Nangong Jinchen suddenly laughed.

Mu Ranyue was stunned, is this the point?

"You looked serious, I really thought you thought I was testing you." He laughed to himself.
