Chapter 116: Farewell (1)
"You go down first, I have something to say to His Royal Highness Jinghou." Slightly thickened.
The palace maid said yes, and was about to retire, but she heard Nie Xingji speak: "If you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk about it when you are well." ”
The palace maid was at a loss for an instant, neither did she advance nor retreat.
With a slightly thick frown, he seemed very persistent, and then said to the palace maid: "I want to drink coix seed porridge, you go and tell the imperial dining room." ”
As soon as these words came out, Nie Xingji couldn't stop it anymore. The palace maid was relieved, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the slave maid will go now." After that, he hurriedly withdrew with the porridge bowl.
Wei Nong hugged his light fur and said, "I saw Nie Xingyi and Lian Kuo yesterday, and I knew that my poison was so tricky. ”
Nie Xingji had a sense of foreboding, and couldn't help but look slightly gloomy: "What do you want to say?" ”
"Nothing." Slightly self-deprecatingly smiled: "It turns out that my poison will be cured for thirty years." ”
At the mention of this, Nie Xingji's expression also darkened: "No, I'm thinking about it." ”
"Are you going to Jiang Country?" Wei Nong asked straight out.
Nie Xingji acquiesced, lowered his eyes and picked up a few green silks scattered on her couch, held them in the palm of his hand and asked, "If you go to Jiang Country to detoxify, will you come back?" ”
Wei Nong looked at him and did not answer. She rarely saw this kind of look on Nie Xingji's face, lighter than pain, thicker than melancholy, reluctant and struggling, and sober and calm to see through everything.
Only then did she realize that his eyes were red and bloodshot, clearly tired, and he should have stayed awake all night.
"Isn't it, it's not coming back?" He spoke again, knowing the answer, but deliberately asked her.
Wei Nong inexplicably remembered Ming Danshu's plan yesterday, Xu because the parting was imminent, and she didn't want to pursue many things anymore. There was always hurt and pain between them, and she couldn't afford to continue, preferring to cut through the mess quickly and clear the two from now on.
"I know you're tormented." Wei Nong directly said his concerns: "Let me go to Jiang Country for detoxification, I won't look back; If you trap me by your side, maybe I will die, and even if I don't, I won't be able to be a woman in this life. Either way, you won't get a complete me. ”
Whether to go or stay is not the ending he wants.
Nie Xingji did not deny that Wei Nong was indeed to the point. Therefore, he still held on to the faint hope that the imperial doctors could find a way to detoxify, or that they could redeem the weak mind.
But it turns out that no matter what the idea, there is very little hope.
"How long will it take you?" After all, he asked, "How long will it take for you to forgive me, or forget the past?" ”
"I don't know." The faintly thick words are quiet and empty, quiet like an ancient well that cannot be rippled, and empty and silent like a deep valley where all things are not born: "Maybe a year, maybe ten years, maybe a lifetime." ”
She looked at Nie Xingjian's depressed appearance, and suddenly the tip of her nose was sore, and she wanted to cry, but she still endured it, and a trace of sigh passed across her lips: "I want to...... I'm a grudge-bearer. ”
Nie Xingji was still holding her broken hair in his hand, his eyes were slightly closed, and he asked weakly: "Do you really want to sentence you and me to death for your past mistakes?" ”
"It was for you and me that I made this decision." Wei thick rubbed his sour eyes: "With the current appearance, this identity, what can we do together?" I will think of Chu Li from time to time, and I will be impulsive from time to time, even I can't guarantee that I will not kill you again. ”
"And you," Wei Nong paused for a moment, "are you sure you can stand the gossip that you forcibly married the prince's sister-in-law?" Are you sure that our relationship will not be taken advantage of and cause more harm to each other? Are you sure you can feel completely at ease and defenseless against me? ”
"I can!" Nie Xingchen didn't wait for her voice to fall, and quickly answered: "I can, and I have confidence." As long as you want. ”
Wei Nong shook his head and smiled: "I'm not Ming Danshu, not a concubine of Nie Xingyi." If it's just a good lady and a concubine, I believe you can settle it. But I am the queen, the fake daughter of the eldest princess, and the princess of Qingcheng who came back from the dead. Any identity that is revealed is a capital offense for me. If one day, someone threatens you with this handle, or even reveals my identity to the public, and then the ministers ask me to be disposed of, will you be able to keep me? ”
"Can you ignore the controversy of the world, ignore the face of the royal family, and let me continue to stand by your side? You can't even guarantee that I'm safest in the Yanwang Palace. Maybe somewhere in the corner at this moment, Helian Biyue's remnants are staring at us, and as soon as you turn around and leave, someone will come to kill me. Wei Nong presented the facts seriously and sharply, and then sighed:
"So, let me go. You can keep your reputation, and I can save my life. We don't have to embarrass ourselves anymore. ”
"In your eyes, I'm so incompetent? Just so untrustworthy? In order to secure the throne, I will give up on you if I am talked about for a few words? Nie Xing asked in pain.
"Then will you give up the throne for me?" Wei Nong suddenly put out this sentence and looked at him solemnly: "Give up your throne, accompany me to Jiang Country to detoxify, and never return to Jingzhou City from now on, the mountains and rivers are home." Can you do it? ”
Nie Xingji's heart tightened, and his eyes were barren for a moment.
Seeing that he was silent, Wei Nong chuckled again: "Since you can't do it, there is no need to say those words of love again." ”
"It's not what you want at all. Even if I agree to your terms, you will not accept me. Nie Xingji had already seen through her: "This is just an excuse you are looking for, wanting me to retreat." ”
"But that's my condition." Wei Nong's attitude was resolute: "If you look forward and backward, you have to consider the gains and losses, then you will lose your heart, this kind of relationship is too snobbish and too cheap." ”
"What about Chu Li? If he were alive, would he give up the throne for you? Nie Xingji asked.
This time, there was a slight silence.
"Could it be that Chu Li can be both beautiful and beautiful, and I have to give up one?" Nie Xingji was finally a little annoyed: "Wei Nong, what kind of conditions are you?" Two things that don't conflict with each other, why do you ......"
"No, why," Wei Nong didn't wait for him to finish, "just because I want to leave." ”
Nie Xingji's heart ached suddenly, and he was dumbfounded again.
"So far, I've said everything I need to say, and the rest is up to you." Wei Nong had a weak and tired look, she was really tired, it took too much energy to talk to Nie Xingji, she needed to rest: "You also know my temperament, but once I make a decision, no one can persuade me." Before I want to play tricks on you, please ...... Let me keep a little bit of heart! ”
Nie Xingji slowly got up from the couch, didn't say a word more, and slowly walked out of the hall.
"I named Wei Lianpian's child 'Wang'an'." She said this suddenly behind him.
Nie Xingji paused, but didn't look back: "I know." ”
His words were so helpless, his back was so lonely, as if he was trying to pull a wisp of wind and hold a cloud, doomed to be in vain.
Wei Nong looked at his distant back, and involuntarily stretched out his palm, the joy of this year diffused the entire Yanwang Palace, but her palm was empty, more barren than the wasteland.
*****
Throughout the first month, Nie Xingji never came to Weiyang Palace again. With his pride, Wei Nong felt that he must have been broken that day. No matter how stubborn he continues to fight, it is not his style of acting, and she has always understood him.
It's just that she didn't expect that Nie Xingji's movements would be faster than she imagined. As soon as the first month came out, the will of the abolished queen had already arrived in Weiyang Palace-
"The queen's twilight is slightly thick, the mandate of heaven is lost, and the emperor is not virtuous, and it is really unbearable to inherit the temple and the mother's ceremony. He was demoted to a concubine, and he was given to leave Beijing, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without a cause. The princess of Pingcheng has a meritorious escort, and she has sealed a thousand households and a thousand hectares of fertile land......"
In just a few crosses, Nie Xingyi's year name was used, and she was directly convicted. After all, on the night of Nie Xingyi's assassination, it is an indisputable fact that she openly kicked the king of a country down from Danqi so that the assassin succeeded. And although this decree is vague, the courtiers must be able to think of one or two of it.
is so good, the reason for the abolition is very sufficient, it saves her face, and comforts the eldest princess, which is impeccable. Ming Danshu no longer has to take the risk of secretly changing the holy decree, and everyone is happy.
The day after getting the will of the abolition queen, Wei Nong went out of the palace and went to the Yong'an Hou Mansion. After all, she didn't know how long it would take to come back, and she always wanted to officially say goodbye to Chu Li's relatives.
After the death of the king of Chu, the original youngest son Chu Cong inherited the title by the name of Zhengyanshun. It's a pity that the year is not good, at the end of last year, there were palace changes such as the assassination of Nie Xingyi, the death of Helian Biyue, and Nie Xingji's assumption of power, and the matter of attacking the lord was postponed again and again. To this day, Chu Cong is still the son of Yong'an Hou.
Wei Nong's visit was not hindered in any way, and after handing over the post, she quickly met with Chu Cong. The latter saw that she was wrapped in a thick fox fur, and her face was pale and thin, and she seemed to be startled: "You...... Sick? ”
Wei Nong did not deny it: "I deliberately bid farewell to the son of the world this time." In a few days, I will leave Jingzhou and go to Jiangguo. ”
"Go to Jiang Country?" Chu Cong's face was vague and indistinguishable: "What are you doing in Jiang Country?" ”
"Heal." Wei Nong said very vaguely.
But Chu Cong was not a three-year-old child, and immediately understood: "Going to Jiang Country is all about detoxification and detoxification!" Are you poisoned like this? ”
Wei Nong didn't answer, but said: "If there is no accident, I will not return to Jingzhou City in the future." Perhaps, today is the last time I will see the Son. ”
Hearing this, Chu Cong's expression suddenly became complicated, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, and like a roundabout temptation: "Don't go back to Jingzhou?" So what are you going to do after you detoxify? Do you want to live in Jiang Country for a long time? ”
"What? Does the prince have something to bring to Queen Jiang or Chu Heng? Seeing that he was so concerned, Wei Nong took the initiative to ask.
Unexpectedly, Chu Cong hurriedly denied it, and his tone was eager: "No...... No. I'm just thinking, you, a princess of Yan Kingdom, where can you go if you don't go back to Jingzhou City. ”
