The next day, Nie Xingji woke up early and went directly to the court from the Yang Palace. Wei Nong knew that he had come to see him before leaving, but still pretended to be asleep and did not speak to him. As a result, when a palace maid and eunuch saw Nie Xingji walking out of her house, she spread the news out of context: His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has spent the night in Weiyang Palace!

On the surface, it sounds right, Nie Xingji did spend the night in Weiyang Palace, but this kind of words often refer to a deeper meaning, and everyone has already tacitly understood it. If Wei Nong explains, it seems that she is self-inflicted; If you don't explain, you can only let the rumors spread. This made her helpless.

There was no explanation for Nie Xingji, or he didn't care at all, but he went in and out of Weiyang Palace more frequently, often coming to eat and talk with Wei Nong. Sometimes Wei Nong went to study medical books, and he would review the recitals on the side, and he would not hide from her about political affairs, and even left the recitals with her.

The rumors spread like the wind, and by September it was already known to the palace, and some old people remembered the situation when Nie Xingji was in power five years ago, and swore that he said:

"When the lord of Yanlan was still the queen, His Royal Highness let her live in Weiyang Palace!"

"What is Weiyang Palace? That's where Her Royal Highness's biological mother, Madame Che, lives! ”

"I heard that His Royal Highness and the county lord were childhood sweethearts, and they have long been in love with each other, but it was the first queen Helian who obstructed it, and he insisted on giving the county lord to the king......"

"If it weren't for the poisoning of the county lord back then, if they had to go to Jiang Country to detoxify, the two of them would not have been delayed for so many years......"

"You said, five years ago, His Royal Highness sought power to seize the palace, will it be angry at the crown and become a red face?"

……

Not to mention the people in the palace, even the ministers in the court have heard these rumors. Even when Wei Nong went out of the palace to visit his master Ji Fengzhi, his old man asked side by side, which made Wei Nong very distressed, and he couldn't argue.

She had thought about reminding Nie Xingji from the side, but after thinking about it, this move was too hypocritical, more like there were no three hundred taels of silver here, so it was better not to mention it.

Just when the rumors of her and Nie Xingji were spreading, the contradictions between Ningguo Lidu, the prince's grandson Yuan Zhan and the prince of Wei, Yuan Che, were also very troublesome, and everyone knew about it. But after all, the two turned against each other, and everyone didn't understand.

The truth of the matter is: after Wang Tuo's death, Wei Hou and Yuan Che both decided not to return for the time being, and seized this opportunity to bring down Qi Zhan with all their might. But before entering the palace to complain, Yuan Che first made an appointment to meet Yunchen.

It's still the Swallow Building, it's still the private room, and even the dishes are exactly the same as last time. It's just that last time it was Yunchen who invited Wang Tuo, and this time he changed the original Che to invite Yunchen.

The wine in the glass luminous cup was fragrant, and Yuan Che personally poured wine for Yunchen and said, "Thank you Zili for pulling out the traitor for me." ”

Yunchen smiled: "The prince is polite, it's a gesture." ”

Yuan Che also smiled: "Next time there is such a thing, Zili Da can talk to me bluntly, why bother arranging a show, and work hard and labor." ”

"If I say it with red mouth and white teeth, I am afraid that the son of the world will not believe it, but will teach me to fall into a crime of sowing discord." Yunchen's complexion remained unchanged.

Yuan Che laughed loudly: "Zili deserves to have a fellowship with me, he really knows me very well." ”

After that, he raised his glass again: "Zili doesn't care about helping me before, this time I will do it first as a respect." ”

Yunchen also returned the favor.

Both of these people know very well that there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies above the court, only eternal interests. Therefore, the past grievances and grievances, false feelings and hypocrisies are not mentioned, and they all pretend to be smiling at each other, as if they are really a pair of best friends.

"I don't know something," Yuan Che put down his glass after drinking and spoke first, "Since the old man has entrusted you with an important task to assist the grandson of the Wild Seed King, why did you suddenly turn against me and help me?" After all, he has a much bigger chance of winning than me. ”

Yuan Che still didn't say one thing in the end, and that thing Yunchen knew in his heart that it was about Queen Jiang's death, which was indirectly caused by him. In the face of this kind of blood feud, Yunchen also took the initiative to help him, which really made Yuan Che unable to figure it out.

And Yunchen was naturally prepared, so he replied: "The king asked me to assist the grandson, but he didn't tell him in advance. In fact, when he said this decision that night, I was as surprised as Shizi. ”

Yuan Che was really surprised this time: "The old man didn't ask for your consent in advance?" ”

Yunchen nodded: "This should be a decision made by their ancestors and grandchildren. ”

The corners of Yuan Che's mouth pulled out a handsome smile: "That's a little interesting." ”

"Yes," Yunchen also put down his wine glass and sighed, "This move is too ruthless, if I have a different heart, then I am deeply disappointed by the king's grace, and the king has a fair and righteous reason to deal with me; If I try my best to assist, in the future, the prince will ascend the throne, and I will be a master, and I will also be a handle. And the king also knows that my mind is all in the Yan Kingdom, and he will not assist him wholeheartedly, he is waiting for me to make a mistake so that he can cure my sins. ”

"And it also cut off your back road, let you stand on the opposite side of the Wei Hou Mansion, and also make all the courtiers jealous of you," Yuan Che shook his head with a sigh, "Old man, this is 'killing' you!" He's so clever! ”

Yunchen also pretended to confess helplessly: "Actually, I won't tell you that after I learned Wang Tuo's true identity, I once thought about concealing it. But on the day of the birthday feast, the king did so much that I had to do something. ”

Of course Yuan Che believed this, he lowered his eyebrows and groaned for a moment, and then asked: "That Zili is willing to believe me by doing this?" ”

"Compared with the scheming and ruthless Qi Zhan, the prince is obviously much more sincere and credible." Yunchen smiled seemingly frankly.

Yuan Che also laughed again: "Zili, is this praising me or hurting me?" Why do I think 'scheming and ruthless' is a compliment? ”

Yunchen smiled silently.

The two of them talked to this point, but Yuan Che still couldn't rest assured, and asked again: "How did Zili find out that Wang Tuo is a traitor?" ”

"It's a long story, but it's because of Xiaoxiao." Yunchen said half-truthfully: "For more than a year, I have been investigating Xiaoxiao's news, and I learned that Wang Tuo had been to Jiang Guo in February and March last year. I suspected that he had something to do with Xiaoxiao's disappearance, so I asked Sister Wang to investigate, and accidentally found out that he had contacted Qi Zhan when he was in Jiang Guo, so I went down to investigate. ”

The first half of these words was spoken by Wang Tuo himself; And in the second half, it was Yunchen himself who made nonsense. Yu Gong, Wang Tuo is a spy of Yan State, Yu Private, Wang Tuo killed Yun Xiao. So this man had to die.

Tianli cycle, Xiaoxiao can be blinded. Yunchen told himself in his heart.

These words were enough to convince Yuan Che, and besides, he couldn't find any flaws, so he was silent for a long time before he said: "I have one last question - what do you want after the matter is completed?" ”

"Send troops to Yan Kingdom, let me slash Nie Xingji." Yunchen paused: "Also, let go of Weinong." ”

Yuan Che smiled: "How can you say that I am like a flood beast, won't she choose me?" ”

"You know she won't." Yunchen seemed very determined.

Yuan Che's face was a little displeased: "What? Are you still thinking about her? ”

Yunchen was noncommittal, and only said: "In short, where will she go then, who she wants to choose, please don't interfere." ”

Yuan Che hesitated for a moment before nodding heavily: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Hearing this, Yunchen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and seemed to smile: "Next, the prince can use Wang Tuo's identity to make a big fuss." ”

The day after he said this, Yuan Che entered the palace to file a complaint, greatly exaggerating Wang Tuo's birth in Momen, and presenting the evidence. Qi Zhan naturally wouldn't admit it, but the evidence was conclusive, not only with Yunchen's careful preparation, but also with a few new additions from Yuan Che.

All the evidence points directly to Qi Zhan's wolf ambitions, and as early as ten years ago, he had already planted spies to King Ning and Wei Hou to pave the way for himself to ascend to the throne of the prince's grandson!

King Ning is suspicious, and he is most taboo for others to covet his throne. Especially after Qi Zhan recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, he was extremely indifferent to fame and fortune, and it was not until the past two years that he had some of the prestige and consciousness of the prince's grandson. It was because King Ning admired his indisputable heart, coupled with his guilt for Prince Ning, that he was willing to cultivate this grandson with all his heart.

But now a lot of evidence suddenly emerged, pointing out that Qi Zhan had long known his background and had been hiding his utilitarian heart. In particular, he also installed Momen's eyeliner in the palace! This incident has all violated King Ning's taboo, Rao is that he will not believe Yuan Che's words, and he has doubts in his heart.

Qi Zhan and Yuan Che argued in front of King Ning for this matter, Qi Zhan said that Yuan Che spewed blood, Yuan Che said that Qi Zhan was a wolf, and in the end, the two even moved their hands to hang up the lottery. Of course, Qi Zhan's injuries were light, and Yuan Che's injuries were more serious.

From beginning to end, Qi Zhan only admitted that there was a junior brother named Liu Siyang, but he believed that he had died ten years ago and was not Wang Tuo at all.

And King Ning has always been a cold watcher, allowing the two grandsons to accuse each other and do something to each other. made a fuss in front of him like this, and finally angered his old man, Qi Zhan had only been in charge of the country for two months, and he was stripped of his power because of this matter, and the power of government affairs returned to the hands of King Ning alone.

Yuan Che was originally for this purpose, and seeing that King Ning was already suspicious of Qi Zhan, he didn't ask for anything, and returned to the Marquis Wei Mansion angrily.

The older a person gets, the more fragile his heart becomes, not to mention that those who have been on the throne for a long time are the most suspicious. After the two grandsons left, King Ning couldn't rest assured after all, and immediately ordered to investigate the cronies around him, lest there really be Momen's eyeliner among them. And this investigation was a big move, and in the end, Momen's eyeliner was not found, but a lot of party and personal affairs were found, and some cronies around him revealed his daily life to the ministers.

King Ning was furious, washed a large number of people who served closely, and also punished the sins of several foreign ministers. Over the course of several months, hundreds of people were beheaded, many of whom deserved their crimes, but others were beaten or implicated. In short, it was the ups and downs of the Ning Palace, and even the people in the court were panicked.

Then, the families also avoided each other, and the turmoil spread to most of Ningguo. A small false accusation finally caused the country to be disturbed, and by the end of the year, the people's hearts were shaken.

Only Yunchen stayed out of the matter, sitting idly in the mansion and drinking tea, laughing at this farce.
