Chapter 64: The Fog of Life and Death (1)
The chill suddenly hit in this wax moon, and the west wind was cold overnight, and everything withered. Yan Kingdom ushered in the coldest winter in the past 50 years, the weather was cold, dripping into ice, and there were frozen bones on the road.
It seems that God is angry at the serious injury of the Yan Kingdom God of War, and deliberately punishes the sins of people's hearts.
This undoubtedly made the atmosphere of Yanwangdu worse now, until the end of the year, the entire Jingzhou City was no joy, and it was bleak. The people shut themselves up, lest disaster fall from heaven.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Nie Xingji was sent back to Jingzhou City. After the assassination of Chu Di, his consciousness has been groggy, waking up from time to time, and now, he has fallen into a complete coma.
King Yan was furious, and devoted all his strength to find the holy hand in the medicine, and rushed to Chu to heal Nie Xingji. Along the way, the doctors were helpless and could only barely maintain his life.
Seeing that the twenty-two-year-old Jinghou was about to die young, some people rejoiced and some people were sad.
In the Longqian Palace, King Yan privately summoned Ming Chenyuan, only to learn that Nie Xingji had been attacked twice in Chudi. Although the first injury was severe, there was no fear of life; The second time, however, the Assassin quenched poison on his weapon. And this poison is extremely rare, and it is very likely to come from Jiang Guo.
Jiang Guo lives alone in Chanzhou, backward in education, and the country is full of dense forests, and the miasma is deep. The Chinese people have a strange white complexion, light pupils, and are good at poisoning, and they are very hostile to foreign countries. Therefore, Jiang has always been rejected and despised by the other three countries of Kyushu, but it has a somewhat complicated relationship with Chu -
Chu Li's eldest sister, Chu Yao, is Queen Jiang. But the eldest princess Chu Yao did not reconcile because of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, she broke away from the father-daughter relationship with the king of Chu and married Jiang Guo alone.
Because of this, during the battle of Yan and Chu, the king of Chu would rather surrender than ask Jiang for help; Jiang Guo also did not send troops to help from beginning to end, and has always sat idly by and ignored the dispute between Yan and Chu. The inside story is far-reaching, and after many years, even the Chu clan may not know all about it.
And now the poison in Nie Xingji's is suspected to come from Jiang Guo in Toad, and King Yan's first reaction to the assassin is the surrendered King of Chu. In particular, Nie Xingji was assassinated in Chu, and the king of Chu had the motive to assassinate him, and the time and place were favorable.
However, he also realized that perhaps this was the Assassins' attempt to distract him from his crimes.
The situation at home and abroad in Yan is complicated, and the mastermind behind this matter points to three possibilities: first, the crown prince Nie Xingyi took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents; second, the king of Chu took the opportunity to avenge the destruction of the country; Third, Ning Guo waited for an opportunity to provoke the Yanchu dispute.
In King Yan's heart, he always leaned towards the latter two. Although he knew in his heart that the first might be greater.
In the palace of the Feng Dynasty, Queen Helian also learned the news, and smiled at the crown prince Nie Xingyi: "Ming Xiang still has some means, even poison." It's a pity that he didn't kill with one blow, and he blamed people for dragging it. ”
"According to the imperial doctors, he is now unconscious, and he will live for another month at most." Nie Xingyi said this, and suddenly felt a little uneasy: "Queen Mother, otherwise let's go and 'see' again, I always feel that there are many dreams at night, and there will be troubles." ”
"In Jingzhou City, you still dare to do it?" Queen Helian pointed in the direction of Yongye Fang: "Right now, the Jinghou Mansion is surrounded like an iron bucket, and the imperial doctors go in and out every day, how do you start?" Are you looking for death? ”
She picked up the tea cup, brushed the tea foam with the lid of the cup, and took a sip: "Drag it!" Since Ming Xiang didn't make a sound, it can be seen that he is almost successful. Teach him to keep an eye on the concubine in his family, but don't let Ming Chen come after doing anything. ”
"Yes." Nie Xingyi felt a little more relieved when he heard this, and was about to send someone to tell him about this, but when he saw Aunt Su'e beside the queen suddenly running in in a panic, she didn't even bother to salute, and said a few words directly in the queen's ear.
