After returning from Si Zhen's room, Wei Nong couldn't sleep peacefully for a few days, thinking about those stars and moon bracelets of the same style, and became more and more afraid of his own speculation.

After that, every day she went to Longqian Palace to serve the decoction, she wanted to ask King Yan to verify the matter. However, there were constantly people in the palace in the dormitory, and King Yan was speechless, so he couldn't communicate with her at all.

Gradually, his mind was on this bracelet, planning to explore Ming Danshu's Liuyun Palace at night, or go back to the Eldest Princess's Mansion again, hoping to find some useful clues.

However, before she could make a move, she heard the palace maids of the East Palace talking about one thing in private, something that made her extremely sad and angry - Chu Huan, the youngest daughter of the King of Chu, committed suicide!

The king of Chu has three sons and three daughters under his knees, and the eldest daughter Chu Yao is the largest, who broke away from her father early and married Jiang Guo; The eldest son, Chu Li, is the crown prince, and he was killed on the battlefield in the battle of Yan Chu; The second son Chu Heng and Chu Li are less than two years apart, and now they have gone to Jiang Guo; The second daughter, Chu Lin, has always been frail and sickly, and when she heard that the Chu State had retreated and failed, she couldn't afford to fall ill, and she died of illness in her homeland before the country died; And the youngest son Chu Cong is seventeen this year and has just inherited the position of the son of the Marquis of Yong'an.

Only Chu Huan is still young, and she vaguely remembers that she has only turned fifteen years old this year, and she has just reached the age of discussing relatives. And the reason why Chu Huan committed suicide was because of her marriage-

There was a military general in the court named Ding Jiuche, who held two important positions as the general of Gyeonggi and the commander of the Northern Ya of the Imperial Forest Army. The Gyeonggi general Ding Jiuche was responsible for defending the royal capital, and the auxiliary general Du Zhong was responsible for guarding the periphery.

And Nie Xingji has recently been very close to Du Zhong, the general of the auxiliary state, and it is even rumored that he wants to marry Du Zhong's daughter, so Ding Jiuche naturally does not want to see Nie Xingji. In particular, during the battle of Yanchu, Ding Jiuche wanted to recommend his son to Nie Xingji as a pioneer, but Nie Xingchen chose Ming Chenyuan, and since then the two of them have formed a relationship.

After Nie Xingyi was imprisoned, he found out that Ding Jiuche, Nie Xingji, and Du Zhong were not all the way, so he had the intention to woo him to enrich the power of the princelings. However, although this General Ding does not deal with Nie Xingji, he is an arrogant person who does not eat hard and soft, and claims that he does not buy face from anyone except King Yan. Nie Xingyi sent people to approach several times, but they all returned in vain.

It just so happened that in the spring of this year, Ding Jiuche happened to see Chu Huan, and he fell in love with it at first sight, so he intended to accept Chu Huan as a concubine. Nie Xingyi sent someone to inquire about Ding Jiuche's preferences, and unexpectedly learned of this, and finally got a glimpse of the way to win him over, so he discussed with the king of Chu, wanting to give Chu Huan to Ding Jiuche as a concubine.

The king of Chu was naturally reluctant and bluntly refused, Nie Xingyi was greatly dissatisfied, and he was determined to settle this family business, and there was no hint of relief in his words. Although Chu Huan is young, he can also distinguish the severity, and now that the Chu clan is looking up to people, she is afraid that the whole clan will be guilty of her, so she has to tearfully agree to this family business.

It's a pity that Ding Jiuche is forty and six this year, and Chu Huan Cardamom is in his prime, and he wants to marry a reckless man as a concubine! However, Ding Jiuche didn't care about the face of the King of Chu and Chu Huan, and didn't even do a decent ceremony, and a sedan chair took the dignified princess of Chu into the mansion.

The next day, Ding Jiuche went to the court as usual, and the courtiers were surprised when they heard that he quietly married the youngest daughter of the king of Chu, and joked that he was very happy. But who knew that when he returned home that day, Chu Huan had already killed himself with a piece of white silk and committed suicide by hanging a beam in the new house.

Afterwards, Ding Jiuche wanted to bury Chu Huan in a hurry, but this move finally aroused the anger of the Chu clan. The king of Chu forcibly called for an autopsy, only to find that Chu Huan had suffered serious violations before his death, with bruises and purple on his body and scars on his lower body.

Ding Jiuche admitted that he was misproportionate and tortured Chu Huan. Unexpectedly, three days later, Chu Huan's dowry maid escaped from Ding Jiuche's mansion at the risk of death, crying and telling the truth to the king of Chu - on the night of Chu Huan's marriage, he was played by Ding Jiuche and his son in turn, so that he was greatly stimulated and angry and sought death.

The King of Chu was so angry that he fainted on the spot, and afterwards he made trouble in front of Nie Xingyi and demanded that Ding Jiuche pay for his life. Ding Jiuche saw that the ugly thing was exposed, and in order to protect his son, he was stunned and bit back, slandering Chu Huan for not abiding by women's morals, and taking advantage of him to go to the court to seduce the heir, and after being discovered, he committed suicide in shame and anger.

This matter has caused a lot of uproar, although it is not known to everyone in the court, but many people have learned the news, and even people in the palace of King Yan are discussing this matter in private. Wei Nong didn't just ask about the government, and she had been serving in the Longqian Palace recently, coupled with the abortion of Princess Jincheng, her energy was delayed, so she neglected to care about the recent situation of the Chu clan.

By the time Wei Nong heard this, tragedy had already happened. After she learned about the cause and effect, she could no longer control herself, and immediately rushed into Nie Xingyi's study, wanting to ask for an explanation for Chu Huan's death.

"Nie Xingyi!" For the first time, she called him by his first name, ignoring any court etiquette, and had no reason to speak of. She felt a cloud of anger burning in her chest, blazing uncomfortably, even more scorching than the scorching sun of the dog days, burning her with anger and murderous intent!

Nie Xingyi was reviewing the recital, and when he looked up and saw her like this, he knew why she came, and his heart couldn't help but sink. He slowly put down the pen and made a preemptive strike: "Why are you so out of shape?" If you have something to say, it's good to say. ”

Wei was trembling with anger, his teeth were trembling, his hands were clenched into fists, and he tried his best to restrain his anger and asked, "Why don't you tell me about Chu Huan?" ”

"This marriage was agreed by Chu Huan, I don't think you need to know." Nie Xingyi said.

"And now that she's dead, what are you going to do?" Wei Nong asked tightly.

"If there's an accident, no one wants to see it. I will discuss with Yong'an Hou and give him an explanation. Nie Xingyi's face did not change.

"Give Yong'an Hou an explanation...... "Slightly angry and laughed: "You also know that he is 'Yong'an Hou', but did you let him 'Yong'an'?" Let Chu Huan marry Ding Jiuche, can you do it too? She's a princess of a country! ”

Nie Xingyi sighed and tried to reassure her: "You calm down, I have my own opinions on this matter." ”

"What claim?" Slightly aggressive: "Unless it is to let Ding Jiuche's father and son pay for their lives!" ”

Finally, Nie Xingyifeng's eyes narrowed: "You have overpassed." ”

"Since it has been overpassed, the concubine has no choice but to cross to the end." Wei sneered sarcastically: "Please tell your concubine, how do you give an explanation to the King of Chu?" ”

"It's not for you to ask." Nie Xingyi scolded angrily: "I'm watching the recital, you step back first!" I'll talk about it in the evening. ”

"No!" Wei Nong stood still and didn't move: "It's been five days since this incident happened, and you didn't even have a word to deal with it, do you want to see the blood of Yong'an Hou splashed in the Yan Palace?" You want to force him to death? ”

At this point, Wei Nong's eyes were red with anger, tears instantly filled his eyes, and he was about to burst out of his eyes when he saw it: "He is old, he has lost his country, abandoned his family, and his six children have died and left, all thanks to Yan Guo, what else do you want?!" ”

"We?" Nie Xingyi also sneered when he heard this: "Who are we referring to?" Don't take your anger out on me. From beginning to end, I was not in favor of attacking the state of Chu. ”

"But what you are doing now is even more filthy than attacking the Chu State! Even more disgusting! Wei Nong stepped forward and propped her hands on the table, as if this was the only way to barely hold her crumbling body, support her hands, and prevent her from giving her a slap.

She looked at Nie Xingyi across the case, and scolded angrily: "In order to win over Ding Jiuche, you sacrificed a girl who is like a flower and jade, and now that something has happened, you still want to cover up for the Ding family." Nie Xingyi, you pat your conscience and ask yourself, are you still a person? ”

"It's true that I'm not human," Nie Xingyifeng's eyes had become gloomy, and the killing intent swept by, "Only Chu Li is human, right?" His parents and brothers are human, right? In your eyes, do you have to be your husband? Have I touched a finger of yours? If I weren't human, how could I allow you to be so presumptuous? Will you point at my nose and scold? ”

"When you encounter something related to Chu Li, you are as unreasonable as a crazy woman!" Nie Xingyi said this, and there was nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, so he was so annoyed that he picked up the inkstone on the table and fell out. The ink drew a sinuous arc in the air, and with the loud "bang" sound, it fell to the ground, dropping black and deep, like a dirty and filthy human heart.

"Don't think that you are the 'queen's life', I have to spoil you and get used to you! The affairs of the court are not allowed for you to put your beak; How the courtiers deal with it, it's not up to you to decide! Nie Xingyi looked at Wei Nong angrily, and a raging fire seemed to burst out of her pupils, burning her to the ground.

In fact, Wei Nong was indeed burned to the ground, and the little respect he had for Nie Xingyi was really burned clean at this moment. She looked at him and said coldly, "If it weren't for the king's coercion, do you think I want to marry?" If it weren't for Chu Huan, do you think I would be in charge? Don't use the 'queen's life' to pressure me, aren't you marrying me because of this life? Otherwise, how can you, the proud prince of Yan Kingdom, look down on my background? ”

The slightly thick sentences of questioning, like the sharpest acupuncture, pierced Nie Xingyi's disguise. Only then did she suddenly realize that he was so hateful, so hypocritical and vain, that she felt disgusted when she looked at him more.

She turned her face away, lowered her eyes to look at the messy folds on the desk, and said with a serious smile: "You and I have never been husband and wife, just two people who rely on each other and use each other under the balance of interests." I know, you know, why pretend to raise your eyebrows and respect each other?! ”

These words completely overturned Nie Xingyi's self-cultivation, and he had a feeling of being exposed and humiliated, that kind of embarrassment hurt his self-esteem, and also hurt his majesty as a prince.

He suddenly reached for a slight jaw and tried to pull her to him. It's a pity that there is a table between the two, and they are slightly thick and martial, and they leap back agilely, easily jumping out of his clamps.

She looked at him with murderous intent, and her eyebrows finally turned from indifference and anger to fierceness: "Nie Xingyi, the king once personally promised me to keep the Chu clan safe and thrive in the Yan Kingdom. I also hope that you will keep your promise and give them justice in this matter. ”
