Chapter 289: Treacherous Hearts (5)

Dali Temple Siqing and Ming Chenyuan have had many contacts, and the relationship between them is not bad. Ming Chenyuan was still haunted by the rumors that Jincheng was disheveled when he died, so he also got angry without scruples, and insisted that Jincheng be given an autopsy to return his innocence.

However, Siqing of Dali Temple said: "Master Hou, it's not that the lower officials don't help you, it's really a noble princess, and the autopsy is insulting to the dignity of the royal family, and it must be done by the will of His Royal Highness the Regent." ”

"His Royal Highness is far away in Jiang Country, if you wait for his will, Jincheng's body will already be rotten!" Ming Chenyuan was annoyed.

"Master Hou, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger," Dali Temple Siqing said busily, "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is not here, isn't there another one in the palace?" That's the princess's brother-in-law, your brother-in-law. As long as you explain the pros and cons, Xia Guan thinks that he will not agree. ”

Speaking of which, it has something to do with Nie Xingyi! Now that Nie Xingji is not there, the cause of death of Jincheng and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is strange, one is a princess, the other is an important minister of the court, if you want to examine the body, you must have the will of the palace, otherwise no one can afford this responsibility.

Wei Nong definitely has no right to ask, do you really have to ask Nie Xingyi to make an order?

Suddenly, Ming Chenyuan had a sense of foreboding in his heart, he didn't suspect that Nie Xingyi had killed Jincheng and exterminated his mouth, in fact, in his eyes, Nie Xingyi was not so mad. He was worried...... Nie Xingyi will take this opportunity to re-intervene in politics and use the pretext of strengthening the defense of Gyeonggi to get along with him; Or splash the dirty water from Jincheng's accident on him......

Yu Gong, Nie Xingji is not there, Nie Xingyi, as the King of Yan, has the right to interfere in politics; Yu Private, Nie Xingyi is Jincheng's brother, and it is reasonable for the brother to ask about his sister's death. Not to mention that he and Wei Nong have no right to stop it, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have no reason to stop him from interrogating...... Maybe this opportunity will really make Nie Xingyi turn over in one fell swoop!

Thinking of this, Ming Chenyuan couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly collected his grief and hurried back to Yanwang Palace, wanting to discuss countermeasures with Wei Nong.

After listening to the whole thing and Ming Chenyuan's concerns, Wei Nong immediately decided: "You don't have to worry about Nie Xingyi's side for the time being, I will persuade him to give Jincheng an autopsy...... Now the most important thing is that you have to clean up your mood, take care of a few children, and urge Dali Temple to find the real culprit as soon as possible. Whether this matter is related to Nie Xingyi or not, if you fall because of this, he will be the beneficiary! ”

Ming Chenyuan's eyes were full of sadness, and after hearing these words, he could no longer control his emotions, and suddenly collapsed and blamed himself: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault that I'm too strict with her, so I have to send her to Xuanji Palace to be grounded...... If I hadn't been careless, how would she have ...... It's all my fault! ”

Wei Nong's eyes were red, and he comforted him: "No one wants this to happen, instead of being sad and sad, it is better to find the murderer as soon as possible, so as to return Jincheng's innocence." ”

Ming Chenyuan nodded, sat on the chair in despair, and did not speak again.

Now this situation is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight. Nie Xingyi pretended to be sick and colluded with the Dan Pharmacist, but he encountered an accident between Jincheng and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. Tomorrow morning, the news will spread, there will be an uproar in the court, originally Nie Xingji had handed over the affairs of the court to Ming Chenyuan before leaving, but as soon as this matter came out, he, as the husband of Jincheng, was bound to avoid this matter.

Nie Xingyi...... I'm afraid it's really going to come back out!

However, this is not the worst side, Wei Nong feels that if he wants to think in the worse side, he is afraid that someone will make a big fuss about Jincheng's death and splash Mingchen far away with dirty water. It must be known that Jincheng was angry with Mingchen before the accident, and this matter only needs to be inquired about by asking the subordinates of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion to know, and it can't be hidden at all.

Thinking about the situation when Jincheng died, this can easily cause outsiders to speculate: Was it because the Marquis of Zhenguo found out that Princess Jincheng was fornicating with others, so he let her go to Xuanji Palace to repair? As a result, when the Qing Dynasty repaired, Princess Jincheng was uneasy in the room, and she had an affair with an adulterer and was broken by the Marquis of Zhenguo, and the Marquis of Zhenguo was jealous and hateful, so he killed both of them?

As long as he thought that there would be such rumors, Wei Nong felt that his head was big. She was worried that Nie Xingyi would take advantage of the situation to put this charge on Ming Chenyuan's head, even if he would not deal with him immediately, he would definitely make him unspeakable and ask for avoidance. When the time comes, they'll be really passive!

Xu is Mingchen Yuan also thought of this, only to see him suddenly stand up, and said, "No!" I can't sit still! I'm going to do something for Jincheng! ”

"What's the matter?" Wei Nong asked hurriedly.

Ming Chen paced a few steps in the hall and first asked, "Do you know a reliable person?" I want to send my children out for a while so that they don't have an accident. ”

This is really difficult, she has lived in no fixed place all these years, and the senior brothers and disciples she knew in the dart game have long gone their separate ways, and the closest person besides them is Yingluo. But far water can't save the near fire! Moreover, even if Yingluo is willing, it is impossible for her to hand over the children of Ming Chenyuan and Jincheng to her.

"Are you really willing to send the child away?" She wanted to confirm.

"It's not okay if you don't give up, in this situation, on the one hand, I want to find the murderer of Jincheng, and on the other hand, I want to prevent Nie Xingyi from acting in private, I don't have time to take care of them at all." Ming Chenyuan's words gradually revealed reluctance, and his tone was already a little choked: "Only by sending them all away, I have no worries." ”

Wei Nong had never seen Ming Chenyuan like this, haggard, powerless, and grief...... But overnight, the man in front of him fell from the sky to the bottom, from a high-spirited marquis of Zhenguo to a sad person who lost his wife, and he saw a slight bitterness.

But in this matter, she really couldn't help, so she honestly said: "I don't have the right person." ”

Ming Chenyuan remembered someone: "How is Mr. Ji?" ”

"Master?" Wei Nong hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "He is an old man who has never been married all his life, and he has no experience in taking care of children at all, and he is old, so I don't want him to come in." ”

Ming Chenyuan didn't force it anymore, only smiled bitterly: "This is the first time I feel that three relatives and four relatives are not all useless, just like at this moment, at least they can help me take care of the children." ”

But it's useless to say more, he has changed his surname and lost his nationality, and it is impossible to go to the people of the Ming family for help again.

Wei Nong was also quite emotional when he heard this: "You and I are the same, there is no family to rely on." However, as soon as these words came out, a candidate suddenly flashed in her mind, prompting her to blurt out: "How about the eldest princess?" ”

"Who are you talking about?" Mingchen was a little distracted and couldn't hear clearly.

"The eldest princess, my titular mother." Wei Nong said busily: "Since she separated from Hou He, she has been living in a simple house, and if a few children can be by her side, it will also be a comfort to her." ”

"No," Ming Chenyuan immediately rejected the proposal, "Jin Cheng is the daughter of Hou and Helian Biyue, one is her husband, the other is her rival, and I am a son of the Ming family. The eldest princess hates us too late, how can she be kind to our children? ”

"But I think the eldest princess understands righteousness, as long as she knows the pros and cons to her, she will agree." Wei Nong analyzed: "The most important thing is that the status of the eldest princess is here, her words are extremely weighty, and with Nie Xingyi's life experience in her hands, no one dares to provoke her easily." Moreover, the eldest princess's mansion has 5,000 guards and retainers, which will definitely ensure the safety of the children. ”

However, Ming Chenyuan still insisted on his opinion: "No, instead of looking for her, it's better to go to Definition Hou." After all, he is the grandfather of the children! ”

Wei Nong was anxious when he heard this: "Don't! Jin Cheng is no longer there, and the definition of Hou is naturally to listen to Nie Xingyi's words. If Nie Xingyi asked him to hand over the child and threaten you, how could he not listen? ”

Ming Chenyuan had to admit that Wei Nong's consideration was very reasonable. The two discussed for a while, and finally he was persuaded by Wei Nong and decided to leave the child in the care of the eldest princess for the time being. For this matter, Wei Nong personally went out of the palace to the eldest princess's mansion in the afternoon of the same day, but before he reached his destination, he was attacked on the way.

Fortunately, she carried the Emei thorn with her and had martial arts by her side, so she escaped the catastrophe, and only suffered a slight injury to her arm. Che Yuan Honor Guard originally wanted to return here, but she insisted on going to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and finally treated her wounds at the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Xu is for the sake of Wei Nong's injury, the eldest prince took the initiative to take pity, and when Wei Nong explained the situation and the intention of coming, the eldest princess thought about it for a long time and agreed. The two had a long talk, and when Wei Nong was leaving, the eldest princess sent two hundred guards to escort her back to the palace, and promised that she would take good care of the three children in Mingchen and Jincheng.

When the eldest princess said this, her eyes sparkled, and she seemed to have regained her former look! Wei Nong knew that she had been frustrated for many years after she left, and her life had been boring, but now she had the opportunity to "re-emerge from the rivers and lakes", which probably awakened her fighting spirit. That's a good thing.

On the way back to the palace, Wei Nong turned around and went to the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion, informed Ming Chenyuan of the matter, and instructed him to send someone to send the child over in the near future. Because of the death of Jincheng, the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion was mourned, and everyone was sad, but fortunately, several children were still young and did not understand the meaning of life and death.

Ming Chenyuan learned that Wei Nong had been attacked halfway, and he couldn't help frowning, wanting to see her injuries. Wei Nong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care: "There is no poison on the weapon, and the killer's kung fu is not high, he should just want to warn me that he is not going to take my life." ”

"Who would do it? Nie Xingyi? Ming Chenyuan asked with doubts.

"Probably not, if he makes a move, I won't be able to escape so easily," Wei Cong sighed, "I guess it's someone from the Inner Servant Province, and I guess I'm afraid that I will continue to check the accounts." ”

"It seems that someone around you has betrayed your whereabouts," Ming Chenyuan told her, "be careful." ”

Seeing that he looked normal and seemed to have come out of the most sorrowful moment, Wei Nong said, "If you have arranged the children, I have something I want to leave to you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Check whether Master Liu, the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering, has been in contact with the Pill Pharmacist before his death."
