"So, what are you waiting for? Still don't serve the king and the lady to take medicine? He shouted in a thick voice.
"Yes." Several Praetorian Guards immediately moved, some holding down Nie Xingyi and Ming Danshu's hands and feet, and some pinching their jaws. The Commander of the Praetorian Guard personally stuffed the pill wrapped in Gu worms into the mouths of the two and forced them to swallow it. In order to prevent vomiting later, the Praetorian Guards were ordered to gag the mouths of the two and tie their limbs to the seats.
When the palace maids and eunuchs of Longqian Palace saw this, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak, and one of the little eunuchs was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot and sat down on the ground.
From beginning to end, Wei Nong's eyes widened as she watched the two of them being forced to take the pill, and she was forcing herself to be ruthless.
No one dared to imagine that the king of a country and the concubine of a product would be bound and forced like captives. And what is even more ironic is that they are in the Yanwang Palace, in the Longqian Palace, the king's residence.
The smell of fishy smell came faintly, and another little eunuch peed his pants in fright. Seeing this, the commander of the Praetorian Guard said to Wei Nong: "County Lord, this place is getting more and more filthy, it is better for you to take the first step." ”
Wei Nong didn't pay much attention to it, and walked up to Nie Xingyi again, reminding him: "Don't go to Lian Kuo, he went to Jiang Country with the army five days ago; Don't think about running away, seven days and forty-nine days are enough for you to die in the mountains of 100,000. ”
Nie Xingyi's hands and feet were tied, his mouth and nose were blocked, and he couldn't speak at all, so he could only stare at her viciously, as if he wanted to cut her with a thousand knives.
Wei Min narrowed his eyes and looked back: "Don't look at me like that, have you forgotten what Helian Biyue did to me back then?" As she spoke, she lifted the sleeve of her left arm, only to see that on the bare jade arm, there was a hideous scar, which was the wound cut by Lian Yong and Lian Kuo when they gave her poisonous blood.
"Helian Biyue is much more ruthless than me, and the Gu poison she gave me back then was almost incurable. In comparison, I didn't even calculate interest. At this point, he didn't want to see Nie Xingyi's face again, so he put down his sleeves and turned around and walked out.
It wasn't until she walked to the door that she seemed to remember something again, and turned around to warn them: "Don't go to Weiyang Palace to make trouble, I don't have an antidote there." I told Lian Kuo to make two antidotes every forty days and send them over. You two have a good life for yourselves, come to me regularly to get medicine! ”
*****
From that day on, the days of Weinong were finally better. Xu is that the methods she used in the Longqian Palace were too powerful, and many palace people were terrified when they saw her and were afraid of her.
Wei Nong was in a good mood, and for the first time since she took over Fengyin, she felt comfortable in her heart. After this battle, she thought that she was going to become infamous, but after waiting for a full month, she didn't see any movement in the palace, as if everyone was secretive about her, and she became the "unspeakable mother" in the palace.
The biggest movement in the palace of King Yan is that Ming Danshu has to come to greet her every day, cowardly and obedient, and her words are flattering. This made Wei Nong have an illusion, as if he had returned to seven or eight years ago and possessed Helian Biyue, when Ming Danshu was like this to please her as the queen's aunt.
Ming Danshu insisted on staying in the morning and dusk for a month, and if she didn't see her slightly, she would wait outside the Weiyang Palace and not leave. In the end, Wei Nong really had no choice, so he had to pretend to be a wicked person again, and solemnly warn her, so as not to face her face every day.
After Ming Danshu stopped, Wei Nong began to interview the directors of the 24th Division of the Sixth Bureau and the Sixth Bureau of the Inner Service Province one by one, and publicly stated that the audit was over, as long as she reined in the future, she could not blame the past for how much money she had lost in the past. The original intention of her move was to appease, but after the interview, many of the principals sold the property outside the palace and paid off all the deficit, and some even came to her to explain, saying that it was a loan to turn over, not a deficit.
Wei Nong was very surprised by this, remembering that she had been warned of assassination outside the palace a few days ago, but in a blink of an eye, everyone actually bowed down to her.
She remembered the eldest princess's means of supporting Gaozong Nie Yang to ascend to the throne, and finally understood why so many old ministers were afraid of the eldest princess. I knew that this method of "killing to stop killing" was so effective, maybe she would have used it a long time ago.
As a result, until the first "Hungry Gu" antidote was delivered to her, she had been busy counting silver coins to make up for the shortfall. Because there was too much money recovered, she even gave rewards to all the palace people with ranks, especially to Longqian Palace, telling them to "serve the king well".
Lian Kuo sent the antidote to Yanwang Palace, naturally he couldn't hide it from Ming Chenyuan, who was on the same road, so he told the truth about Wei Qiang's idea. Ming Chenyuan was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't believe that this was Weinong's doing, and he couldn't help but praise and surprise in his heart. Later, the two heard news from the palace that the county lord of Yanlan had a very good effect, so they were completely relieved.
On the way to Jiang Guo, the Yan army marched smoothly, and finally arrived at the foot of the 100,000 Great Mountain within the specified time limit, and connected with Nie Xingji's people. Because it was the middle of winter, everything in the territory of Jiang was dormant, so the Yan army crossed the 100,000 mountains in one go, and then carried out a short renovation.
And when Ming Chenyuan led an advance force of 30,000 people to join Nie Xingji, it was already the end of the month. As soon as the two met, they naturally had a lot of words to say. Ming Chenyuan has experienced too much in the past half a year, but he really didn't hold back, so he poured it all to Nie Xingji. When talking about Jin Cheng's death, and talking about the several misses between him and Wei Lianpian, he finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Rather than saying that "heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass", it is better to say that they are sad to pass the "love pass", and how many heroes and heroes have stumbled here since ancient times, and they can no longer move forward. Nie Xingchen himself has a deep understanding, and he can empathize with him, so he can't help but comfort Ming Chenyuan.
Subsequently, Nie Xingji carefully inquired about the situation of Wei Nong. Although there have been letters from each other from time to time in the past eight months, after all, the paper is short and long, and the slight thickness is good news but not bad news, so he doesn't know any details, and he only knows a rough idea of everything.
At this moment, listening to Ming Chenyuan's detailed explanation, he also has joys and sorrows. When he heard that Wei Nong thoroughly inspected the account books in the palace, he looked approving; When he heard that she had been injured in an assassination, he looked worried; Finally, when he heard that she had severely punished Nie Xingyi, he finally showed a look of relief, and nodded again and again: "The "National Policy" said that it is advisable to use heavy codes in troubled times, and she finally figured it out. ”
Ming Chenyuan also felt incredible: "Like a princess...... No, it's the county lord...... It's not easy for a person like the county lord to hate you so much in the past, but now he is willing to change for you. ”
"She doesn't change for me, she changes for current events." Nie Xingji smiled: "But I don't care about the details, the results are getting better and better." ”
Ming Chenyuan nodded in agreement: "In the past, it was said that the county lord was the queen's destiny, but Weichen never felt it, and it was not until these days that he saw the clues. With a long-term vision and a combination of grace and power, the county lord is really powerful. ”
"Really?" Nie Xingji also smiled, as if he was thinking about his demeanor in the past six months, and couldn't help but say, "I really want to see her soon." ”
Ming Chenyuan couldn't help but want to laugh, so he asked, "Then when do you plan to leave for Yanguo?" If it is delayed any longer, Weichen is only afraid that you will not be able to endure the pain of lovesickness. ”
Unexpectedly, Nie Xingji replied: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a while...... I plan to conquer Ningguo in person. ”
"Pro-conscription?" Mingchen Yuan was shocked: "This is not child's play!" Once Yanning starts a war, it will be as little as a year, or as much as ten years, do you want to stay in the Yan army camp? What about the palace? ”
"I can't take care of the affairs in the palace for the time being." Nie Xingji also sighed: "This is a decision I made after thinking about it for a long time, Yan Ning fights, unless I personally command, I can't sit still." ”
"Aren't you afraid of Nie Xingyi, he ......" Ming Chenyuan was very worried.
"What are you afraid of, isn't he submissive by Wei Nong? I think that's a good idea. Speaking of Weinong, Nie Xingji smiled again.
Ming Chenyuan didn't think so: "What if he has a grudge against you and wants to burn the jade?" If he takes the lord of the county and dies with him......"
"He won't, he's desperate." Nie Xingji said firmly: "Moreover, he has been the crown prince for twenty years, and he also knows the pros and cons of analyzing the situation. If he dares to play tricks at this juncture, once the Yan Kingdom is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable. I guess he doesn't want to be the king of a dead country. ”
"Have you told the county lord about this?" Ming Chenyuan was worried about him: "Weichen thinks that she will definitely stop you." ”
"So I haven't said it to her yet," Nie Xingji frowned, "I have to think carefully about what to say during the month of the Chinese New Year." There are also major events between the DPRK and China, how can I take care of them? ”
"It would have been nice if the county lord had married you earlier," Mingchen said with regret, "If you had married early, you would have ascended the throne long ago, and now I'm afraid the crown prince has been established." The county lord can also support the crown prince to sit in the Yan Kingdom as a queen, and can even participate in politics openly. ”
"No, now I'm glad she didn't marry me." Nie Xingji only refuted this sentence and did not explain too much.
Ming Chenyuan seemed to chew out something from it, and he couldn't help but have a worried face.
Nie Xingchen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, which was considered comforting: "Don't worry, if I can defeat Ning Guo on this trip, I will definitely go back to marry her, and then the general trend will be the unification of the world, Nie Xingyi is the battle of trapped beasts, and if you don't want to abdicate, you have to retreat." ”
"But if it is...... What if we don't win? Mingchen asked from afar.
"If she doesn't win, there will be a more suitable man to take care of Weinong and achieve her queen's life." Nie Xingji said calmly.
These words are not like Nie Xingji's temperament at all, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will definitely tie his beloved woman to his side. Why have you been out for more than half a year, and all your thoughts have changed? Ming Chenyuan wanted to know, what had he experienced in the past half a year, and he could say such a thing?
